Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 88 Capture Danyang
"Don't let one go!" Zhao Feng only had time to say something, and then ordered hundreds of personal guards to protect Pang Tong on a slope, and then led the Chinese army to kill the [-] Jiangdong army who were surrounded by heavy siege.

"Fight!" Sun Yi also roared, holding a spear and leading the army to the west, trying to fight a bloody road back to Danyang City.From the intensity of the vibration on the ground, Sun Yi has already judged that the opponent has dispatched at least three times as many troops as himself. If this battle is a deadly battle, it will be more dangerous, so it is better to withdraw first.

"Is it cavalry?" After a few steps, Sun Yi had already seen that all the cavalry were coming from the opposite side. Seeing that there were at least thousands of cavalry in this posture, his heart suddenly sank.You must know that although Jiangdong lacks cavalry, Sun Yi also knows that cavalry is the king of field battles.Now that the opponent has dispatched so many cavalry, I am afraid that I will have to pay a price to withdraw to Danyang.

"Spread left and right, scatter!" Seeing that the cavalry was about two miles away from the Jiangdong Army, Zhang Liao also suddenly avoided head-to-head confrontation, and split the team into two to kill the Jiangdong Army on the left and right sides.Sun Yi was wondering why the enemy didn't attack his formation, but he saw that the cavalry on both sides of the detour started to shoot arrows at his formation, and they were still running while shooting arrows!
"Ah!" There were screams one after another, and four thousand arrows shot into the somewhat dense Jiangdong army formation at the same time. Although it was not possible to kill 4000 people at once, after this round, there must be more than four hundred dead.What's more terrible is that the speed of the Jiangdong army has been significantly slowed down.

"Don't stop, retreat to Danyang!" Sun Yi was also a little anxious, and quickly ordered to continue running.But the cavalry on both sides were like gangrene, and they finally found time to come up to them for a round of arrow rain from time to time.I want to fight them, but I can't reach them.Order the crossbowmen to fight back?The hit rate is extremely low.

"It's over!" Sun Yi saw that the infantry on both sides had already outflanked him, and his pockets were about to close, and his heart sank.But he is brave by nature, and he is by no means a person who gives up easily, so he reined in his horse and said sharply: "Soldiers, if you want to run now, you can't run away. Only by returning to the army with me and fighting to the death can we survive if we defeat the enemy. Go back to Danyang! If you are a hero, follow me!" After speaking, the first one turned his horse's head and charged towards Zhao Feng's pursuers behind him.Infected by his momentum, the Jiangdong Army's morale was boosted for a while, and they followed him to turn around and fight again, rushing towards the Xuzhou Army's formation.

"Boom!" With a sound, the two armies collided.Xuzhou's army is the best in the world, but Sun Yi's army is not weak.At least, it was much stronger than Yuan Shu's Huainan Army back then.At present, Zhao Feng is in the middle, Wei Yan is on the left, and Wen Pin is on the right, surrounding the Jiangdong Army and fighting for a while.Zhang Liao led his cavalry to swim around, catching fish that slipped through the net.

"Dang!" Sun Yi received the stab from the opposite side, his arms felt a little numb, and when he fixed his eyes, it turned out that the person was Yang Zheng, the pavilion chief.

"Shameless thief, who are you?" Sun Yi gritted his teeth and shot back.Yang Zheng dismissed the gun easily, and he still had time to answer his words: "I am Zhao Feng, General Zhengnan, the Marquis of the Guard, Taiyuan Hao Zhao Hao Bodao!"

"Hao Zhao!" Sun Yi was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, and the spear in his hand was getting faster and faster, wishing he could stab Hao Zhao to death with one shot.Hao Zhao saw the opponent approaching menacingly, and immediately accepted the attack with concentration.But how could the melee between the two armies give them such a calm chance to single out?At this time, Sun Yi's personal guards also fought with Hao Zhao's trilogy, and at the same time, Zhao Feng also happened to kill them.

"General, he is Sun Yi!" Hao Zhao shouted to Zhao Feng while accepting the move. "General, are you Zhao Feng?" Sun Yi suddenly blocked Hao Zhao's shot, retreated two steps and turned to Zhao Feng.

"That's right!" Zhao Feng looked at the young man in front of him, it seemed that he was still very young, and he was looking at him with gritted teeth, his eyes were full of sparks of hatred, like a hungry wolf ready to eat people.

"I want to avenge my elder brother!" Sun Yi roared angrily, leaving Hao Zhao behind and shot Zhao Feng directly.Zhao Feng was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that Sun Ce died at his own hands, fearing that the entire Sun family would be at odds with him.Seeing that Sun Yi was coming to fight for his life like a mad tiger, he was also concentrating on fighting, ready to take advantage of his confusion and try to capture him alive.

"Hey!" Seeing that Sun Yi shot with too much force, Zhao Feng sideways stepped aside, and then suddenly smashed the gun with both hands at Sun Yi's barrel.Sun Yi was caught off guard, his hand went numb, and his gun fell to the ground.This move has a name in marksmanship called "Baoqiang", which is specially used to deal with raids.Legend has it that when Yue Fei was the champion in the martial arts examination, he used this spear to make Luo Yanqing and Yang Zaixing, two master gun masters, feel ashamed, so he gave up the examination and went home to continue training hard.It must be known that the two of them are descendants of the direct line of the Luo family spear, and the other is a top master of the Yang family spear.It can make them feel ashamed, which is enough to see how powerful this move is.

Sun Yi's weapon was smashed away, but it was too late to draw his sword to continue resisting, Zhao Feng shot him on the back with the long sword halfway drawn from his waist, and immediately his stomach was swept down to the ground.A few Xuzhou Army soldiers on the left hurried forward and held him down. Zhao Feng ordered someone to take off his helmet, then raised it on the tip of his spear and shouted: "Sun Yi has been captured, and those who surrender will not be killed!" Then his personal guards also started to roar, and the voice became louder and louder. Hao Zhao even grabbed Sun Yi's battle flag and shook it from side to side.The nearby Jiangdong Army gradually began to stop resisting, and then more and more people stopped resisting, gradually spreading to the entire battlefield.In the end, there were still a few small groups of people who insisted on resisting, and they were all wiped out quickly.

"Wen Yuan, did you ever let the enemy go?" Zhao Feng hurriedly asked Zhang Liao while the battlefield was still counting. "There is still one thing in the hundred secrets. Naturally, there are fish that slip through the net. However, driven by our army's cavalry, they all go to Wu County, not Danyang!" Zhang Liao replied with a meaningful smile.

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you!" Zhao Feng also smiled when he heard the words, and then ordered people to quickly clean up the battlefield. "Our army wiped out a total of 650 and three enemies, captured 820 and one, and hundreds of fish slipped through the net. Our army suffered more than [-] casualties." Hao Zhao briefly reported the results of the battle to Zhao Feng.

"I see, Hao Zhao, choose a thousand elite soldiers, put them into Jiangdong army uniforms, knock Sun Yi unconscious and bring them with you, and prepare to go to Danyang City with me." Zhao Feng also ordered quickly.Seeing that Hao Zhaoyue was about to try, Zhao Feng stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Don't go this time, it will be bad if the Danyang defenders recognize you."

"Hao Zhao understands!" Knowing that what Zhao Feng said was the truth, Hao Zhao could only retreat angrily.Not long after, Zhao Feng picked out a thousand elite soldiers and ordered them to change into Soochow uniforms. Then he carried Sun Yi, who had been beaten completely unconscious, and staggered all the way to Danyang. At the same time, he ordered Zhang Liao to lead the cavalry behind him. Not far or near to follow.

"Quickly open the city gate! Quickly open the city gate!" Under Danyang City, hundreds of soldiers from the Eastern Wu with disheveled armor ran over in a panic.Before standing still, he roared towards the city.The soldiers guarding the city were in an uproar when they saw it, and a military commander at the top of the city asked: "Where are you soldiers, and why are you here?"

"We just went with the prefect to rescue Moling, but we were ambushed. It turns out that the pavilion chief is a spy!" A soldier under the city replied loudly.The army Sima was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked again: "Then why are there only a few of you left, where is the prefect?"

"The prefect was seriously injured, and our brothers fought to the death to protect him and break out of the siege!" As the soldier replied, another burly soldier behind him came forward with a man on his back.The army Sima looked intently, and although the man was unconscious, it was obviously Sun Yi.

"Go and call Mr. Gu!" The army Sima knew that he couldn't make the decision, so he quickly ordered someone to notify Gu Yong to come and make a decision.Not long after, Gu Yong hurried over, seeing that Sun Yi was indeed under the city, he was shocked.At this moment, the dust was flying in the distance, and Gu Yong clearly saw a cavalry attacking towards Danyang City. "Don't let Sun Yi go!" They could vaguely hear their yelling.The distance is a little closer, and the roar can be heard more clearly!
"Let the prefect come in!" Seeing this, Gu Yong couldn't care less about anything else, he hurriedly ordered people to open the city gate and release the drawbridge, wanting to let Sun Yi in before the enemy army arrived.However, when nearly half of the hundreds of people below the city entered the city, someone suddenly shouted, and then everyone took off their helmets and threw them away, and then swung their knives to fight with the Jiangdong army around them.

"No, it's fraudulent!" Gu Yong felt dizzy when he saw this.Not long after, Zhang Liao's cavalry had reached the Danyang city, but the fierce battle at the gate was still going on, and the suspension bridge and the city gate were naturally not closed.Then, the infantry who followed the cavalry also began to kill one after another, and the battle gradually advanced into the city.

"It's over!" Gu Yong saw more and more Xuzhou troops pouring into the city from the top of the city, and immediately understood that Danyang City could not be defended much more, and at this time, he could only do his best and command the defenders to make a final resistance.After nearly a whole day of street fighting, the Xuzhou Army finally captured Danyang City.After Sun Yi was captured, the defenders lacked command. How could Gu Yong, a literati, dispatch troops?In the end, he himself was not spared and was captured alive.

"How's the battle going?" Zhao Feng sat down at the head of the Danyang County Guard's Mansion, and then asked Wei Yan who had just run over beside him.

"Danyang's [-] defenders fought fiercely with our army for one day, and the casualties were about [-]. The rest were either captured or surrendered. Our army's casualties were about [-]." Wei Yan briefly explained the situation.

"Combining the previous field battle, we lost nearly 1 people today!" Zhao Feng exclaimed.Seeing this, Wei Yan hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him and said, "Why should the general blame himself? It is not easy for the general to take down Danyang Jiancheng with only [-] casualties!"

"Hehe!" Zhao Feng smiled noncommittally, and then sent down an order that the troops should not harass the residents, and at the same time ordered Gao Lan and Huang Zhong to lead their troops to the remaining counties to surrender.As for the recruitment of captives, there is naturally a relevant person in charge. "Bo Tao, take Danyang City, when are you going to march into Wu County again?" Accompanied by a somewhat hoarse voice, Pang Tong appeared in Zhao Feng's sight with his smile that was not as good as crying.After learning about Zhao Feng's easy-going personality, Pang Tong didn't bother to call him a general any more, and simply matched his name.

"Our army has not yet stabilized Danyang, and we need to report back to the Lord about the battle here!" Zhao Feng said.After a pause, Zhao Feng said again: "Besides, I still have to wait for the allied forces in Jingzhou!" Pang Tong was also taken aback when he heard this, and then he and Zhao Feng laughed knowingly, the laughter was so lewd that he just walked in the door Hao Zhao felt guilty for a while.
