Chapter 310: No Way Out, County Magistrate Zhang Joins the Qing Army in
Fryer.

After receiving the order from the county governor to go out of the city to meet the enemy, these defeated soldiers and officers were all furious.

There's something wrong with this county magistrate's brain.

Before, their army of 200,000 was defeated by Marquis Su's 1,000 cavalrymen, with chaos and wailing everywhere, heavy casualties, and a complete defeat.

Now, this Lord Su has brought three thousand cavalry.
The county magistrate actually asked them to go and fight back?
After confirming several times that the county magistrate was not talking nonsense, the soldiers finally settled in Bengbu:
"Zhang Jun Shou, we just ate your rice for a few more days, it's not a big sin, right?"

"You sent us away, which would not be of any benefit to your defense of the city."

"Or do you want to surrender yourself, fearing that we will become trouble?"

"That's not necessary, there's no need for that. We'll listen to you, we'll all listen to you!"

County Magistrate Zhang was so angry when he saw how useless these soldiers were, begging with tears and snot, that his nose was almost crooked.

"You trash!"

"A coward who can only run for his life!"

"I think it's because of your incompetence that General Zhang Chun lost his life!"

County Magistrate Zhang started to yell:
"Can you fight or not?"

"The Han army only sent 3,000 cavalry as a vanguard, and that's just a claim."

"And you have an army of more than 8,000."

"You guys wait for them to tire themselves out, find a place and ambush them, then the problem will be solved."

"Only if we show our might and momentum, they won't dare to look down on us, and we can keep our success firmly!"

Magistrate Zhang was also really furious.

These people, not only are they useless and cowardly, but they actually judge others by their own standards!
Distorting himself to send them to their deaths, and even trying to figure out whether he would surrender?

What does this mean? How could he surrender?
However, this does not mean that he is very loyal to the Great Yan Kingdom.

Although his surname is Zhang, he is from Hejian Zhang. He and Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju and other Yuyang Zhangs have been separated for many generations since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The most fundamental reason why he insisted on doing so was.
He was a traitor who had just defected to Liu Hong's court.

When Magistrate Zhang thought of this, he was so shocked that it was probably the same feeling as when he joined the Qing army in 49.

In theory, this is absolutely not the right thing to do.

He was quite clear about the capabilities of Zhang Chun's rebels, and the two of them had been flirting with each other for a long time.

This time, an army of 200,000 swept across Hebei and surrounded the tyrant emperor. No matter how you looked at him, he looked like the ruler of destiny.

If not for this, he would not have risked his life and property and brazenly surrendered the city.

This is the result of his careful consideration and careful deliberation.

Who would have thought that Zhang Chun's mighty army would be defeated in less than a month.

This made County Magistrate Zhang so anxious that he lost a lot of hair, and he studied military books hard every day.

But now, he has regained his spirits.

Because here, in addition to his three thousand family soldiers and two thousand surrendered soldiers, he also received more than eight thousand defeated soldiers to replenish his combat strength.

A total of more than 13,000 soldiers!

He has been continuously recruiting able-bodied men for the past few days, and has already gathered an army of nearly 15,000 men.

The military strategy states that one should surround the enemy with ten times the force. Although the imperial court claimed to have an army of 300,000, Magistrate Zhang believed that they could only have 100,000 at most.

As for the vanguard numbering 3,000, it is estimated that there are at most 1,000 cavalrymen.

You can fight, you can battle!
Magistrate Zhang even used his familiarity with the terrain of Hejian to personally plan an ingenious ambush. All he needed was a courageous general to carry out his plan.

His request was not excessive. He was very cautious and used nearly ten times the force to carry out an ambush, in order to get off to a good start and build up momentum. What was wrong with that? As a result, these cowards were afraid of the enemy and talking nonsense.

How could one man go in and out seven times among thousands of troops?

What he said was that one thousand cavalrymen defeated an army of two hundred thousand.

It's just too much.

He made all kinds of excuses, and in his opinion, he just didn't want to climb out of this safe city wall.

Magistrate Zhang now understood that Zhang Chun was not strict in disciplining his troops and had such a group of cowardly subordinates. How could he not be defeated when facing Lu Zhi, a famous general known throughout the world?
However, Zhang Chun's rule was not strict, and he, the county magistrate Zhang, could not repeat the same mistake here.

Therefore, the determined Magistrate Zhang issued a death order, requiring the attack to be carried out according to the plan.

He would chop off the head of anyone who didn't go.

At the same time, in order to prevent these people from running away halfway, he also sent 500 personal soldiers to look after them closely and supervise the battle!
"This idiot."

"It's over, it's over."

"If I had known, I would not have entered this hanging city!"

"We should have run a few more days and stopped at Lunu!"

After returning to the camp, everyone privately cursed Magistrate Zhang's entire family.

However, faced with such pressure, they had to seriously prepare to send troops.

The only consolation is probably that the place chosen by the county magistrate is indeed quite good.

There was a dense forest with beautiful mountains and clear water. Not far ahead was the official road coming from the south. A small river ran across the road, blocking the direction of escape. It was indeed an excellent ambush site.

Here, if you can launch an ambush first, you have a chance to force the enemy cavalry into close combat quickly.

Therefore, they took out a large number of powerful bows and crossbows, and even huge bed crossbows, from the armory in the city to prepare for an ambush, attempting to capture the thief with a dense rain of arrows and first kill Su Yao, who always loved to charge.

Everyone's preparations were very sufficient, and they even arrived at the location a day in advance.

However.
"Oh?"

Su Yao smiled:

"A defeated general dares to come out to fight in the field?"

"You're actually planning to launch an ambush?"

"Brothers, follow me and kick their asses!"

The moon and stars are rare.

After waiting for two days and one night, the bandits were anxiously wondering if the Han soldiers had noticed something or changed their route.
Su Yao led his own elite 1,000 cavalrymen and 2,000 cavalrymen from the controlled princes and launched a devastating charge.

"kill!"

"Leave no scraps of armor behind!"

Under the moonlight, Su Yao's red robe is particularly eye-catching.

He was riding a white horse and wearing a red robe, holding a lance in his hand. With the sound of horns, he leaped into the enemy camp first. His lance was like a raging wave, unstoppable.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of soldiers were killed by his trampling and piercing.

What’s terrifying is that behind him is the iron cavalry sweeping in like a storm.

Chi Yun, Huben, and the knights of the princes attacked from three sides at the same time like a tide hitting the shore.

I saw Lu Bu, Xu Huang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others each leading a team of knights. The sound of their horses' hooves was like thunder, the dust was flying, and they were advancing rapidly through the forest. The whole battlefield was shaking under their iron hooves.
