Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

"He Qi, Sun Ben, the two of you lead two thousand troops and directly attack the enemy's chief general. The goal is not to kill the enemy, but to drive them away. As long as you break the connection with the army behind, it will be a great achievement!"

"Xu Kun, Zhang Hu, Chen Dao, Su Fei, Ling Cao, each lead a thousand soldiers, and put them in the waist and abdomen at intervals, so that they can't look at each other!"

Soon, Huang Zhong finished his order, and finally said: "After the missions of the various ministries are completed, unless the order allows the pursuit, otherwise do not act rashly, and wait for the Lord's order!"

"Here!"

After the generals received their orders, they got on their horses and left immediately, joined the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time, and then quickly left the woods where they were hiding, lit the torches, held up the banner, and rushed towards the unsuspecting, still standing like "fire dragons". The marching Yuzhou soldiers rushed forward.

Because it had been expected that Kong Rong would send troops from the south gate, Li Yi deployed more than 1 ambush soldiers here. It is not necessary for Kong Rong to have fewer soldiers. So many people rushed out suddenly, even if Kong Rong was at the forefront , and it was the first time that something was wrong.

"The descendants do not kill!"

"The descendants do not kill!"

"Kill Kong Rong, kill Liu Yao!"

Hearing the sudden cry of killing from behind, Kong Rong reined in his horse and turned his head, and then saw the fire dragon approaching the soldiers and horses behind him, and couldn't help shouting in panic: "What's going on!"

Liu Yao and Fan Neng also saw the movement behind them, their faces were pale, and Liu Yao was trembling all over, almost tears in his eyes.

He was wrong, and he was still wrong after all. This was not an opportunity, but a trap prepared for them.

Liu Yao opened his mouth, wanting to tell Kong Rong to command the troops to meet the enemy, but the scene in front of him made him unable to speak at all.

Although Li Yi's soldiers and horses rushed quickly, there was still some distance between the two sides, and they could not fight immediately. If the Yuzhou soldiers responded in time, although they might not be able to stop them, they could still resist a little.

But the fact is that many Yuzhou soldiers started to panic when there were dozens of steps between the two sides. The soldiers ran around, desperately trying to leave the direction of the fire dragon. The soldiers tried to form a formation, but most of them took off their bright armor and ran with the soldiers. It was unknown whether they were panicked by the sudden night attack or they had no fighting spirit in the first place.

At this scene, seeing Liu Yao's heart convulsed, he almost fell off the horse in pain.

But Liu Yao didn't know that what he saw was not the worst.

After Li Yi's soldiers and horses started to attack, the Yuzhou soldiers at the gate of the south gate didn't even think about it, they turned around and ran back, squeezed together with the people who were going to come out behind, and wanted to run back for their lives like crazy, On the one hand, they were still in a daze, so the situation couldn't be described as chaos, and some people even waved their weapons at their own family members, in order to rush into the city to escape.

But Wang Xiu on the city tower saw the scene outside, but he was crying and ordered the city gate to be closed.

Wang Xiu wanted to save Kong Rong, and also wanted to save the soldiers outside the city, but he really couldn't do it, and he didn't dare to do that.

Li Tong's menacing 2000 men were regarded by Wang Xiu as soldiers to seize the city. In order to keep the city, he had no choice but to abandon the army outside the city, although he also knew that what he did was actually just drinking poison to quench his thirst.

Therefore, when Li Tong rushed to the city gate against time, what he saw was the slowly closing city gate and the crazy collision outside the city gate!Scold!collapse!And despair!

Li Tong's troops didn't move a single sword or shoot an arrow, but as far as their eyes could see, no less than a hundred people were killed or injured, and an unknown number of people were squeezed into the moat, struggling and sinking in the river.

After quickly judging the situation, Li Tong did not let the soldiers attack and seize the drawbridge of the city gate, but stepped forward and shouted: "The Marquis Xiang has an order, those who surrender will not be killed!"

After finishing speaking, Li Tong pointed to the moat again: "The Marquis of Xiang loves the people so much, if you save one person, you will be rewarded with ten pieces of money!"

Compared with the momentary collapse at the end of the team, the situation around Kong Rong was barely enough. Many soldiers subconsciously approached Kong Rong in panic, and more than 2000 people gathered immediately.

But because it was night and unexpected changes happened, most of the soldiers couldn't find where they belonged after the chaos, so although they were there, they couldn't form combat effectiveness in a short time.

Moreover, after the brigade behind was cut off by Li Yi's people, some people rushed to Kong Rong's side to kill them now.

"Form formation! Form formation! Block them!"

"Finished formation!"

Kong Rong yelled loudly, but no one responded to him except the guards around him. Kong Rong broke down a bit and couldn't help asking loudly, "What should we do now?"

No one around could answer Kong Rong, but someone among the soldiers and horses who killed him shouted loudly: "Where is Kong Rong, He Qite is here to take your head!"

Kong Rong was startled and frightened, and shouted again: "Who will stop the enemy general!"

Fan Neng knew the current situation, so he had to go up, sighed in his heart, and then said to Kong Rong: "The general will block the incoming enemy, so please let the king get away quickly, I am afraid that the general will not last long! "

After all, Fan Neng took one last look at Liu Yao, and shouted at the elite around Kong Rong, the only one that was not confused by the surprise attack, "Go! Follow me to kill the enemy!"

Afterwards, Fan Neng was the first to rush out, fighting with He Qi and Sun Ben.

But it is a pity that Fan Neng's decisiveness failed to boost morale. Those Yuzhou soldiers who gathered around Kong Rong neither followed Fan Neng nor stayed to protect Kong Rong. , they fled directly, and after a while, there were only about twenty people left around Kong Rong.

At this time, Liu Yao's heart was really bleeding. He knew that after tonight, both Zhang Ying and Fan Neng might not survive, and he could do nothing but run for his life.

"Let's go back to the city through the west gate!"

With a roar, Liu Yao pulled Kong Rong, who was still in a daze, and took the only remaining guards with him, and ran to the west of the city at full speed.

It's just that the two of them didn't run away for a long time, and they saw a flash of fire in front of them, and they were quickly approaching their side.

The faces of both of them changed, and Kong Rong even shouted: "My life is over!"

Liu Yao was not reconciled, looked at the moat, then looked at the city wall in the distance, and shouted: "Jump into the river and swim over!"

Before Liu Yao finished speaking, he got off his horse and tore off the armor on his upper body, but Kong Rong was a little afraid and said, "How can this be done!"

"No way, you will die here!"

Liu Yao's mentality was also broken, he didn't have time to talk to Kong Rong at all, he just scolded him without looking back.

After being scolded by Liu Yao, Kong Rong regained consciousness a lot. Looking at the approaching flames ahead, he finally gritted his teeth and reached out to take off his coat.

Chapter 654

With the withdrawal of Kong Rong and Liu Yao, the weak resistance of Yuzhou soldiers quickly collapsed under the impact of Li Yi's torrent. Wherever Li Yi's banner went, the opponent either collapsed with one blow or took the initiative Kneel down please surrender.

Of course, there were also those who resisted tenaciously. For example, the troops led by Fan Neng blocked He Qi for a while.

He Qi could take Fan Neng completely, but due to Li Yi's military order, he was unable to pursue him, so Fan Neng could continue to entangle on the battlefield to buy time for Kong Rong and Liu Yao.

Fan Neng even rushed to Chen Dao's side at one point. Chen Dao was also able to defeat him, but he couldn't defeat him. Unfortunately, he bumped into Zhang Xiu and Xu Chu who came to support him from Xujiazhuang. His subordinates were still an unrestrained mobile force, so Fan Neng finally took revenge.

Fan Neng's death in battle basically declared the end of the night raid, but because too many Yuzhou soldiers fled and the battlefield was still relatively chaotic, it could not be fully concluded for the time being.

But Li Yi is not in a hurry. With the overall situation set, Li Yi is not worried about what troubles those deserters will cause. Moreover, it is not easy for Li Yi to gather the defeated soldiers at night, so he ordered a few soldiers to patrol Four gates, blocking the defeated soldiers from returning to the city.

As for Kong Rong, Li Yi followed his fate, grabbed him when he encountered it, and let it go if he couldn't. He didn't pay too much extra attention to him.

Because Kong Rong is really not a threat, so what if he runs away?

To put it bluntly, where Kong Rong is, the morale of his soldiers will only be even more depressed.

Of course, Kong Rong can also escape from Qiao County, but as long as Kong Rong dares to run away, Li Yi dares to let Qiao County not fight, and then make a big publicity to let everyone know that the city is not broken, and the defeated soldiers are still holding on, and Kong Rong This great Confucianist was greedy for life and afraid of death, and slipped away first. Don't say that Kong Rong's face can't be kept, even the imperial court will take him down.

Afterwards, Li Yi asked all the soldiers and horses to return to the camp to rest in rotation, and waited until dawn for all chores. However, Li Yi himself was in high spirits and did not feel sleepy at all. In addition, there was no one here who could threaten him. He ran between the battlefields with his personal guards, condolences to the wounded soldiers, and learned battlefield information by the way.

Although the exact statistics have not yet come out, as far as Li Yi has temporarily grasped, the results are still very gratifying. Including Xujiazhuang, Li Yi's side died in this battle, and the total number of staff was reduced to less than a thousand. There are quite a few people with bumps and minor injuries, but those are not in the way.
