Chapter 712: Night Battle(2/2)
Lu Liao gritted his teeth and said.
Zhang Zhai and Zhu Wu looked at each other and finally nodded.
That night, on the evening of April 14, the bandits of Mount Tai sent Yang Ji and Liao Ju again to harass Guangxian and Changle.
Unlike the previous two days, today Xiahou Lu and his five thousand Grand Tutors were stationed in Guangxian. How could he tolerate the bandits of Mount Tai behaved under his nose?
Now, Xiahou Lu led his five thousand Grand Tutors to move in full without saying a word.
Although the little king Yang Ji called himself "Dongshan Tai Sui", he only had two thousand people under his command. How dare he compete with Xiahou Lu's five thousand Tai Shi army? He was not superior in terms of military strength or strength.
So, as soon as Xiahou Luna five thousand Grand Tutors came out with a torch, Yang Ji was immediately defeated and fled to Jiwu Mountain as planned.
When the soldiers under his command came to report the movements of the Taishan bandits, Xiahou Lu sneered repeatedly, but his face remained silent and ordered the soldiers to pursue the Taishan bandits.
As he expected, he was ambushed by the bandits of Mount Tai. In front of him, Lu Liao's thief army blocked his way, and behind him, Zhu Wu personally led the army to cut off his way back.
This situation is exactly the same as the previous situation of Zhang Xi, the county magistrate of Zhuxu County, who was ambushed by the Taishan bandits.
However, Xiahou Lu was not Zhang Xi, and his Grand Tutor Army was not comparable to that of Zhuxu County.
When he was attacked from front and back, Xiahou Lu pointed to Jiwu Mountain and ordered: "Attack that place!"
Immediately, Zhu Wu, Zhang Zhai, and Lu Liao were stunned, Xiahou Lu left two thousand Grand Tutors to defend the rear, and personally led three thousand Grand Tutors to kill Jiwu Mountain, killing Lu Liao's army, who had originally ambushed him, retreated step by step.
The two sides fought for an hour, and in the end, Xiahou Lu captured Lu Liao's village.
Who ambushed who...
"The Grand Tutor Army is so powerful?"
Zhu Wu and Zhang Zhai, who had not dealt with the Grand Tutor's Army so far, both showed shock.
Although Zhu Wu only sent 10,000 troops due to night battles, this was 10,000 troops in the end, not to mention the army under Lu Liao. However, Xiahou Lu resisted the attacks of the two armies with only five thousand Grand Tutors.
This is only five thousand Grand Tutors. If all the 20,000 Grand Tutors are here, wouldn’t they have to be defeated and fled?
In addition to being shocked, Zhang Zhai couldn't help but sigh to Shi Xu and others around him: "It's hard to imagine how the Jiangdong Yishi resisted the army of the Grand Master Chen led 100,000 Grand Masters to suppress Shandong..."
Indeed, after truly seeing the strength of the Taishi Army, Zhang Zhai realized how difficult it was for Jiangdong Yishi to resist the 100,000 Taishi Army. Although the 300,000 Jiangdong Yishi Army was almost wiped out in the battle of Shandong, don’t forget that the Taishi Army also lost nearly 30,000 people, let alone the other Jin armies.
Compared with the shock of Zhang Zhai and Zhu Wu, Lu Liao was not unfamiliar with the strength of the Grand Tutor Army, but even so, seeing Xiahou Lu resisting his Lu Liao's army's offensive against the attack on the mountain, Lu Liao was also angry and anxious.
He shouted anxiously: "Brothers, avenge my 300,000 Jiangdong righteous men and avenge the two Qu soldiers, today!"
Hearing Lu Liao's encouragement, the soldiers from the Jiangdong Yishi Army who were nearly a thousand formerly from the thousands of bandits under his command increased their fighting spirit and fought bravely. Unfortunately, even so, they could not stop the Taishi Army from attacking the mountain, and were eventually captured by Xiahou Lu.
In desperation, Lu Liao had to lead the defeated army to join Zhu Wu.
"The troops under King Lu Tian are still too few..."
Zhang Zhai couldn't help but sigh when he learned that Lu Liao's army had been repelled by Xiahou Lu in turn.
While feeling moved, he said to Zhu Wu: "But it's not a bad thing. At present, Xiahou Lu is trapped in guarding the mountain. As long as we attack from all sides, he will have no way to escape!"
"Um!"
Zhu Wu nodded heavily.
Although he was also worried about the sacrifice of his soldiers, he also understood the great significance of annihilation of the 5,000 Grand Army.
The question is, will Xue Ao, Zhang Jing and Wang Su sit down and watch Xiahou Lu's five thousand Grand Tutors be in the army?
In this regard, the only thing Zhu Wu and Zhang Zhai could do was to speed up the time and swallow the five thousand Grand Tutors in one breath before the Jin army sent reinforcements.
With a cruel heart, Zhu Wu simply sent someone to transfer all his troops under his command.
However, they still underestimated the speed of the Jin army's aid.
Around the Yin hour, when Zhu Wu, Lu Liao and others were leading their troops to besiege Jiwu Mountain, suddenly a sharp-eyed thief soldier pointed to the north and exclaimed: "Firelight! Fire! Fire! Fire light in the north!"
Zhu Wu and Zhang Zhai turned their heads to look north, and were shocked to see that a winding fire snake appeared in the north at some point, coming quickly towards this side at an incredible speed.
"Why did it come so fast?" Zhu Wu frowned and muttered.
And at this moment, he vaguely felt the ground under his feet tremble slightly.
He looked at the fire snake in the distance in confusion, and then a little scared appeared on his face: "Cavals?! Taiyuan Cavalry?!"
After hearing this, Zhang Zhai's expression also changed drastically.
After all, if we came to be really a cavalry in Taiyuan, it would mean that the man was also here - the most powerful general of Jin State, Xue Ao, the general of the chariot and cavalry!
"Damn it! Isn't Xue Ao in Lucheng?!"
Even with Zhu Wu's calmness, he couldn't help but curse at this moment.
While cursing, he looked at the battlefield with cold sweat.
As for the current battlefield situation, his army must have no time to retreat, otherwise it would be a great defeat that would be completely destroyed.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and made a decision: "If you can't escape from each other, then fight!... The person comes, immediately ask for help from the Great Heavenly King and the Tao Tianwang! Tell them that if I and the King Lu Tianwang are defeated, they will not be able to get it!"
“Yes, yes!”
