Chapter 728 Flooded (Second Change)

Contrary to the expectations of the generals, Fu Gongyou did not choose to fight recklessly, but used the method of a strong man to cut off his wrists, abandoning the two former troops.

Fu Gongyou said to his subordinates: "There is no need to love to fight. I just need to go to the recruiting camp and the Danyang army is there. The Zhao army is attacking our abandoned sons. It's just that Song Jingang's troops are blocking the way. We have to detour moved forward."

Hearing that the former army was abandoned, although it was expected, the officers and men felt a little bit unbearable.

But at this time, it was heard that Zhao Jun's pursuers from the rear were chasing up again, and when they were less than three or five miles away from the Jianghuai Army's rear guard, seeing that they were in danger, all the generals raised their hearts when they heard this, and no one was worried about this fallen former army. worried.
At present, Fu Gongyou led the Jianghuai Army to bypass the Huze in front. Although the distance of the journey was lengthened, he never encountered Zhao Jun again this day.However, all the former troops of the Jianghuai Army should have been wiped out by Zhao Jun.

At night, when the curtain of smoke closed, the Jianghuai army chose to camp on a slope beside a river.Tents are lined up on the slope.

All the scouts of the Jianghuai Army scattered out and scouted strictly within five miles to guard against Zhao soldiers coming to attack the camp at night.

Fu Gongyou took a brief count of the troops, and there were more than 3000 troops in the most elite recruitment camp. Compared with the 5000 troops when Du Fuwei was there, there was not much loss. The number has dropped sharply to less than 1 now, and the rest of them number five to six thousand, but in Fu Gongyou's view, these are all tasteless, cannon fodder.

At night, with the torches flicking and the sound of horseshoes, hundreds of cavalry rushed to the camp. Most of the cavalry uniforms were blood-stained, but they were in good spirits.

The leading general was Fu Gongyou Yizi Gao Xiang, who jumped off his horse and went straight into the tent of the Chinese army.

Fu Gongyou and the generals were discussing matters, Gao Xiang tossed his cloak and knelt down and kowtowed: "Father, I just captured Fuli County and captured the county magistrate who surrendered to the Zhao army."

Fuli County is the county seat in the south of Xuzhou. The city walls are high and thick. Gao Xiang actually captured this county with a team of cavalry, which shows that his army is very brave.

Fu Gongyou didn't seem to be surprised that Gao Xiang captured the county seat, but asked, "How did you find out anything from the county magistrate?"

Gao Xiang said: "Although this person is not familiar with the deployment of Zhao Jun's defense line, he has also inquired some news from him. The reinforcements sent by Tang Jun to Xuzhou Zhang Zhenzhou have been repelled, and now they can only retreat to protect themselves. There are no more soldiers around our army. Reinforcement. In addition, Zhao Jun transferred [-] civil servants from the county yesterday, what is the purpose?"

Fu Gongyou remained silent.

At this time, a general stepped forward to persuade: "Fu Gong, we can break through in any direction, but we can't go back to Jiangdong!"

"Why?" Fu Gongyou turned his head and asked.

The general said: "Li Chongjiu expected us to return to Jiangdong, so he set up many ambushes on the way to wipe out our army. If we continue to go to Jiangdong, we will only seek our own death."

Fu Gongyou heard the words and said: "How could I not know, but our army started from Jiangdong, and I heard that Jiangdong fell, and the soldiers would return to their hometown in their dreams. If I tell the soldiers not to go to Jiangdong, it won't take a moment, the whole army will mutiny So knowing that Li Chongjiu was in ambush, I still had to not go."

Hearing what Fu Gongyou said, all the generals lowered their heads.

"Fu Gong, we will surely break through the encirclement if we follow you." All the generals said one after another.

Fu Gongyou smiled and said: "I also have the confidence to take you back to Jiangdong. Li Chongjiu is not Liu Bang, and I am not Xiang Yu!"

As soon as Fu Gongyou finished speaking, there was suddenly the sound of soldiers running outside the tent, and countless soldiers shouted at this moment, "It's not good, it's not good, the flood is coming."

Fu Gongyou was taken aback, he had camped by the side of the small river before, the deepest of the small river was no more than the depth of his trouser legs, how could it turn into a flood.

"Father, it must be Zhao Jun who built the dam upstream, and after our army set up camp, they will dig the embankment to release the water!" Gao Xiang told the truth.

Fu Gongyou frowned into the word Chuan. He suddenly thought of why Zhao Jun sent people to transfer civilians from Fuli County. It turned out that it was to prepare for flooding himself.Fu Gongyou couldn't help but angrily said: "You bastard!"

At this time, Fu Gongyou walked out of the tent with his sword, but he saw soldiers outside the tent scrambling for each other, the sound of the water outside was surging, and a stream of yellowing river rushed into the Jianghuai army's barracks.

And a row of large camps by the river bank, more than [-] tents, were all washed away.Thousands of soldiers were taken away by the torrent without even having time to react, and the flood rushed into the camp, and the soldiers of the Jianghuai army avoided in all directions.

"Hurry up, pull out the camp immediately, Zhao Jun will arrange troops to lie in ambush by the river, and they will surely kill them when the flood is exhausted."

Fu Gongyou is also considered to be experienced, and he immediately guessed Zhao Jun's intentions.So all the Jianghuai troops in the tent retreated to the side high ground to regroup their troops.

Just when the Jianghuai army had just regrouped, from behind the mountain ridge three miles away from the other end of the river, there was a loud shout of killing.

In an instant, a row of torches appeared on the mountain ridge, and they gathered together and rushed down the mountain ridge. The torches gathered more and more, and countless people crossed the mountain ridge, holding the torches and joining the torrent of torches.

Zhao Jun's ambush is all out!

Seeing this, Fu Gongyou showed determination and said: "Follow me and kill!"

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers of the Jianghuai army all shouted together, and rushed up to meet the Zhao army surging on the mountain ridge.His adopted son Gao Xiang rode a horse and led hundreds of elite soldiers forward, while Fu Gongyou and his left and right were the most elite recruit camps in the Jianghuai Army.

On the hillside, Zhao Jun generals Zhang Qingte, Jiang Shanhe, Li Yiman and others were all taken aback when they watched the Jianghuai army kill them.

Zhang Qingte said: "Unexpectedly, the Jianghuai army dared to attack head-on, knowing that they were in ambush!"

Jiang Shanhe, the chief general among the three, said: "That's because the Jianghuai Army is still in good spirits. Before, His Majesty gave us an order not to fight head-on with the Jianghuai Army. It's enough to kill their troops. I think our troops should not block them head-on. At the intersection, it is better to let the forward of the Jianghuai army pass, and then intercept the rear end."

Li Yiman said: "It should be so. The three of us are just county soldiers, and our training equipment is not as good as the Jianghuai Army's elite in all battles. It is okay to fight against the autumn wind, but it is difficult to fight head-on. That’s it. Let’s leave it to the third ambush person to wipe out Fu Gongyou!”

Zhang Qingte said: "However, even if Fu Gongyou's elites are spared, there must be a lot of kills and captures in this battle. In the future, when the Jianghuai Army is put down, His Majesty will definitely talk about our achievements."

"That's natural."

Speaking of this, the three of them laughed and were full of joy. As Zhao Jun's descendant, they are very satisfied to get this credit.At that moment, they ordered to let go of the front and let the main force of Fu Gongyou's Jianghuai army break out, while the soldiers turned to attack the two wings of the Jianghuai army.
It didn't take much effort for Fu Gongyou to lead the Chinese soldiers and horses on the battlefield, and they broke through the encirclement of Zhao Jun. The soldiers behind him also followed Fu Gongyou, but at this time, the two wings of Zhao Jun began to close together and tied their pockets. .

The county soldiers on the left and right flanks of Zhao Jun attacked again.Zhao Junjun's soldiers are poorly equipped, so they can't be compared with Zhao Junfu's soldiers in terms of combat effectiveness.But among the three, Li Yiman is the best at running the army, Jiang Shanhe is the most resourceful, Zhang Qingte has no strengths.

The second ambush composed of these three people, although there were not many soldiers, still caused a lot of trouble for the Jianghuai Army.

The soldiers of the two armies held torches and fought together under the night, with the sound of swords and guns clashing.

At this moment, flames burst out from the side. It turned out that Li Yiman's soldiers set fire near the camp of the Jianghuai Army.The fire was so powerful that it immediately swept across a large field, forcing the soldiers of the Jianghuai army to run around and lose their formation when the fire hit.

As for Jiang Shanhe and Zhang Qingte, they also played very smartly. When encountering large groups gathering, the fully armed soldiers of the Jianghuai Army would let them go. Go up to encircle and annihilate.

The two armies fought all night until the fire was extinguished at dawn and the battle ended.

Although Fu Gongyou led the Chinese army to break through the encirclement, Jiang Shanhe and the others gained a lot.

In the early morning, when the pursuers led by Wang Mahan and Song Jingang arrived, they saw banners, armors and weapons all over the ground, as well as hundreds of captured war horses. Thousands of Jianghuai soldiers held their heads and squatted like this Sitting, wearing leather armor and holding spears, Zhao Junjun soldiers guarded these Jianghuai soldiers.

Seeing this scene, Wang Mahan couldn't help being jealous, and said unwillingly: "I have worked so hard for so long, and you have taken advantage of it."

Song Jingang said: "What is General Wang not reconciled to? This is all the military exploits made by the brothers of the county soldiers. If you are not convinced, let's compare who will get Fu Gongyou's head?"

Wang Mahan rolled his eyes and said, "You are the only one who still compares with my old Wang?"
