Chapter 158 Breakthrough
.When it was the third time, Zhao Qian had gathered the eight thousand dead soldiers he had selected to gather at the city gate and was about to launch a raid.
This time, I am afraid there will be no return. Everyone will go to the city gate to see Zhao Qianzhuang's trip.
There was no wine in the city in Lueyang, so Zhang Chi came forward instead of wine and came to toast Zhao Qian himself. Zhao Qian took the big bowl handed over by Zhang Chi and drank it all. In fact, he knew that this time was a good fortune, but he was still not afraid. He turned around and said, "Governor, don't worry, men should seek fame and the battlefield. Even if they die in battle, they are just seeking benevolence and benevolence. What's the regret? Besides, this journey may not be a situation of death. When I rush out north, the Hu people's army will inevitably be mobilized, and then the governor's army will break south. If the governor's breakthrough is successful, the Hu people will inevitably chase and kill it, and I will not be unable to escape."
Zhang Chi was a little speechless and nodded: "General Zhao is careful."
Zhao Qian didn't say much, turned over and ordered the city gate to open, and the eight thousand dead soldiers rushed out in the darkness.
Seeing Zhao Qian leading his troops out of the city gradually, Zhang Chi couldn't help but sigh and said softly: "I don't know how many of these eight thousand-year-old sons can escape back alive."
Du Ximing said: "General Zhao has already reaped his desire to die, and he is planning to sacrifice his life for justice. Even if he can really break out of the siege, he will be trapped behind enemy lines. If he wants to escape back to Hanzhong alive, he will probably have no chance."
Qin Bo also said: "I have been a general for many years and I have rarely seen a loyal and righteous man like General Zhao."
Zhang Chi turned around and saw Dark Blade looking up at the sky with a serious expression. He asked her, "What are you thinking?"
Dark Blade said in a deep voice: "At that time, countless people from the poor families in Badong County were wiped out by Zhao Qian, and no one except me will live."
"So I still remember it." Zhang Chi was a little surprised. Dark Blade was always following him. Even when he wanted to fight against Hu Zhichu, he was targeting a general outside Chengdu City. Dark Blade saw Zhao Qian, but why did Dark Blade remain silent?
Zhang Chi thought that according to the character of Dark Blade's hatred of evil, he probably wanted to bite the bones and drink blood to Zhao Qian.
"How could I forget?" Danbian smiled bitterly: "I have been an orphan since I was a child. My parents, brothers and sisters were killed by Hu people. Fortunately, a poor family took me into the school. The old helm leader passed on my martial arts and taught me how to be a human being, but he was wiped out by Zhao Qian's troops. If it were you, could you forget it?"
"Then why did you just say it today but you didn't feel sarcastic in the past?" Zhang Chi was puzzled.
"You taught me." Dark Blade said lightly.
"I?"
"The hatred of one person is a small hatred, and the hatred of the country is a big hatred! How many people are the Hu people killed me, and how many orphans are like me in Shu? You once said that in the face of such a great hatred, you should unite and defeat the Hu people. So although I recognized Zhao Qian early, I have never taken action to kill him for the sake of the overall situation."
Dark Blade looked at Zhao Qian's troops from afar outside the city and had already disappeared in the night: "He is willing to sacrifice himself for justice today. No matter what hatred I have with him, I still admire his actions today. However, from today on, no matter whether his life or death is his life or death, the hatred between me and him will be eliminated in the future."
As he spoke, two lines of clear tears flowed silently in Dark Blade's eyes.
Zhao Qian had already left the city, so Du Ximing quickly gathered the remaining troops in the city, waiting for Zhao Qian to disperse the Hu people's camp. When the Hu people's army was mobilized, he looked for an opportunity to break out of the siege in one fell swoop.
The generals dispersed and worked their own things. Zhang Chi recalled that all the soldiers had sighed for Zhao Qian's behavior of sacrificing themselves for justice, but only Ding Yizhi smiled, so he turned around and asked Ding Yizhi and said, "General Zhao sacrificed himself for justice, and was willing to take the risk of breaking through successfully for us. Why did my cousin smile just now?"
"For the same thing, different angles, the results you see are different. Brother, what you see is General Zhao willing to take risks. This is commendable, and it is reasonable to be sad, but what Yizhi sees is General Zhao's transformation process."
"oh?"
"When General Zhao just followed his brother, he was still infected with a lot of the officialdom in Shu, and his habits were hard to change. But he didn't expect that just so long, General Zhao was willing to sacrifice himself for justice. Can you tell me why this is?"
"Oranges are born in Huainan, and those born in Huainan are tangerines." Zhang Chi shook his head and Ding Yizhi smiled and said, "General Zhao was inevitably in the officialdom of Shu when he was in Shu, but he was completely different after following his brother. Doesn't this tell the problem?"
Zhang Chi was stunned.
"In fact, it's not just General Zhao, but the same is true for the people around his brother. Whether it's Daoxuan and Santong who followed his brother very early, or the latest Dark Blade Girl who followed his brother, they have actually undergone a very big change without realizing it."
"I really have such a great personality charm?" Zhang Chi mocked himself and laughed.
Ding Yizhi stopped laughing: "I just hope that if my brother encounters a disaster, he will not be discouraged, and it will not be in vain for these soldiers to follow his brother in a life-and-death manner."
While he was still talking, Qin Bo on the city tower was already shouting loudly: "Young Master, the Hu army has moved!"
Zhang Chi and Ding Yizhi quickly climbed the city tower and faintly found that the Hu army in the distance in the night had lit torches. It was obvious that Zhao Qian had rushed into the enemy formation.
Zhao Qian's prediction was good. Although the Hu people surrounded Lueyang, in order to prevent Zhang Chi from fleeing back to Han, the heavy troops were all arranged in the south, while there were not many soldiers in the north.
At this time, the night was already deep, and the Hu army was still in their dreams, and Zhao Qian had already brought the army to kick the camp.
Unexpectedly, the Hu people's army was besieged by the lonely city, so why did they break north? Because the further north, the further away from Hanzhong, wouldn't they seek death?
Zhao Qian took the lead, and the soldiers behind him rushed straight north like tigers going down the mountain. The Hu people were not prepared enough and the camp was in chaos.
"The people of Jin are about to break through!" someone shouted loudly in the chaos.
In the dark night, I don’t know how many people came, but the eight thousand people Zhao Qian led were all dead soldiers, and each of them had the intention of dying. As long as people were not afraid of death, they could often try ten or even more. So when they rushed out, they were like tigers entering a pack of wolves.
Yao Shuode was sleeping in the tent, but at this time someone woke him up: "General, the Jin people took advantage of the night and seemed to be breaking north. There were not many troops in the north, so would other troops be transferred to support him?"
"Break through north?" Yao Shuode was also a little surprised, so he quickly turned on the map with the light and analyzed it carefully.
However, after a cup of tea, someone came to report the military situation: "Report to the governor, the troops in the north are insufficient, and they are coming to face an emergency. If there is no reinforcement, the Jin army will break out."
"In what direction do they break through?" Yao Shuode asked.
"They broke through the city of Qinzhou!"
Yao Shuode was shocked.
This time, because he had news that Zhang Chi was going to attack Yang, he had already made preparations, so he could mobilize the army in advance to encircle Zhang Chi in Lueyang City. But after all, he had just been defeated by Zhang Chi before, and the 300,000 army lost and lost, which really hurt him. In a hurry, Qinzhou could not have too many people, so this time he could encircle Zhang Chi Lueyang, but Qinzhou was very empty.
Did Zhang Chi actually expect this and wanted to directly capture Qinzhou City?
"So quickly send troops from other directions to mobilize to the north of Lueyang City, and the Jin people must not be allowed to rush out! And order the Lu Hao army in the south of Lueyang City to start attacking Lueyang. Since the Jin people want to break through and Lueyang's troops are limited, we will capture Lueyang City, not only to let them break through, but also to let them lose their protection."
"Get order!" The soldier replied and left the account.
...
At this time, all the lights in Lueyang City were turned off, and Zhang Chi and others were standing on the head of the city south, quietly watching from a distance. At this time, they had already seen torches lit up in the distance in the south, obviously marching. Looking at their march direction, they obviously bypassed Lueyang City from the flank and mobilized directly northward.
"The Hu army has been in trouble, and we are rushing out now." Santong was anxious.
"Wait a little longer," Du Ximing said: "If you attack too early, you will easily be seen through."
"But the more we delay, the more dangerous it will be for Zhao Qian. Besides, when the Hu people surrounded their 8,000 troops, they naturally knew that it was not the main force of our army, wouldn't it be exposed?" Santong's consideration was not unreasonable.
Du Ximing thought about it, but he actually wanted to relieve some pressure on Zhao Qian. After looking at Zhang Chi, he nodded when he saw Zhang Chi, and shouted loudly: "All the generals are on the horse, we will rush out of the city to break through now!"
When a large army breaks through, there will inevitably be some division of labor. Lueyang is close to the Qinling Mountains, and the army breaks through according to the Qinling Mountains. In this way, even if it is attacked, the contact surface of the war can be reduced to the level, and everyone has already discussed it. Even if it is attacked, it must not be delayed. The best strategy is to rush out as quickly as possible.
Moreover, by breaking through the mountain, Santong can lead his cavalry to cover the army on the flanks, and also reduce some losses.
Du Ximing and Qin Bo were the first to open the way, Santong was flanking, while Hanxiang and Sun Rubai led their respective soldiers to take charge of the rear. Everything was ready, Du Ximing opened the city gate, and the army burst out like a flood that opened the gate.
...
Yao Shuode has a general named Lu Hao, who was the general who besieged Pingwu at the time.
That time he was also very lucky. Zhang Chi escaped when he broke the siege of Pingwu. Now that time has finally passed, it is time to be in trouble.
Yao Shuode ordered him to attack Ruanyang, but in fact, this was a good thing in his opinion.
He already knew that the Jin army was breaking north. Since this was the case, Lueyang would inevitably be empty. If he was allowed to capture Lueyang, it would be a great achievement.
So he took the lead with pride and saw that he had arrived at the city of Lueyang, but at this time he saw people vaguely rushing towards him from a distance.
He couldn't see clearly the number of people in the dark night, but there was a little noisy. He didn't expect that this would be the Jin army at first, but when the army approached, it was too late for him to run away.
To break through, of course, you must make a concerted effort. If the opponent is frustrated and fails to break through successfully, it will be not easy to break through again. Of course, Du Ximing knew this and immediately shouted at Qin Bo: "You and I will work together to kill the enemy general quickly, and the Hu soldiers will be in trouble!"
Organize and clean cloth.
