Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 2971 Open the city gate

The army was defeated like a mountain, and the enemy's pursuit was fatal to Cao's army.

"What if the enemy is chasing after him? General Cao Ren has an elite Tiger Army under his command, so it is easy to stop the enemy's pursuit." Zhang Duo said. Zhang Duo knew the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Army.

"General, the Tiger Army suffered heavy casualties while blocking the enemy's pursuit. The Tiger Army originally numbered a thousand, but now there are less than 400," the general said.

"Are these what the defeated troops outside the city said?" Zhang Duo asked.

The general nodded, "General, you'd better go to the city and take a look. The general has ordered the soldiers to lock these people outside the city. They fled all the way from Jiangling City, but they haven't made it into the city."

On the city, Zhang Duo looked at the defeated soldiers outside the city. Even the flags representing Cao's army were in tatters. The armors of the soldiers were seriously damaged. They had fled all the way from Jiangling City. It was difficult to identify what they were.

The soldiers' faces were covered by dust.

"Who is the general outside the city? Come forward quickly and answer." Zhang Duo shouted. As for the laziness of the army outside the city, Zhang Duo didn't care. If the same thing happened to him, he would definitely

It's the same.

After the Yizhou army captured the city, Cao's army must have experienced hard battles one after another. Those who were able to escape from the city after the hard battles must be the elite of the army.

"The last general, Zhao He, is a lieutenant under General Cao Ren." Zhao He stepped forward and cupped his fists.

"Captain Zhao, please wipe your face clean." Zhang Duo said calmly, seemingly not at all anxious about the army outside the city.

Zhao He naturally did not dare to neglect when he heard this, and he was also a little uneasy in his heart. He was originally a captain in Cao's army, and he did not want to be captured by Zhao Yun himself during the battle. After being captured, he faced Pang Tong's kind words.

Relieved, the captain gave in.

What happened now is that Zhao He, as a captain in Cao's army, is definitely not as knowledgeable about military matters as the generals in Yizhou's army. It is most appropriate to use it to earn money for the city. As long as Xiangyang is

Seizing the city from Cao Jun's hands is equivalent to cutting off the way for Cao Jun to leave. At this time, all Cao Jun can do is to go to the prize. After the city is captured, Cao Jun does not have much food and grass in his hands, which is most important for Cao Jun.

The most important thing is to replenish food and grass. Otherwise, if this situation continues, it will be the biggest nightmare for Cao Jun. The female Taoist priest went down the mountain

"Send an order for the guards in the city to come and see if they know this person." Zhang Duo ordered.

Zhao He was also quite a famous captain among Cao's army, and several captains recognized Zhao He.

After hearing that the lieutenant colonel identified Zhao He, Zhang Duo felt a lot more relaxed. It seemed that Jiangling City had indeed been defeated by the enemy's attack.

"Zhao He, I want to ask you, General Cao Ren, where is General Cao Ren?" Zhang Duo asked.

"General Qi, General Cao led the army to retreat. When the enemy was chasing them, they encountered an ambush from the Yizhou Army. The army suffered heavy casualties. The general was lucky enough to escape from the battlefield." Zhao He said.

Zhang Duo was shocked when he heard this. What the Yizhou Army showed on the battlefield outside Jiangling City was extremely terrifying. He didn't expect that when the Yizhou Army attacked the city, they actually set up an ambush outside the city. From this

In this incident, what Zhang Duo felt was the strategy of the Yizhou Army.

On the way to retreat, he was suddenly attacked by the enemy. Zhang Duo could imagine what the situation of the army was like at that time. What could Cao's army do even if it had an elite Tiger Army? Under the surprise attack, the army was in chaos, and Cao's army was in chaos.

Having just experienced the defeat in Jiangling City, people were panicked.

Zhang Duo even saw that during the retreat of Cao's army, the ambushed soldiers and horses of the Yizhou army suddenly came out, causing Cao's army to be in chaos.

"Open the city gate and let them enter the city." Zhang Duo ordered.

Just when the city gate was opened, billowing dust and smoke appeared in the distance, and the banner with the word "Jin" fluttered in the wind.

"Hurry into the city, the cavalry of the Yizhou Army are chasing us." Zhao He shouted.

Cao's soldiers who came with Zhao He rushed to the city gate in a hurry.

On the city, Zhang Duo looked puzzled when he saw the cavalry chasing after him from outside the city. Normally, there should be many Cao Jun soldiers on the battlefield. Shouldn't these cavalrymen cause greater casualties to Cao Jun on the battlefield?

Well, even though the cavalry is powerful, Xiangyang is an important city in Jingzhou.

"Tell Zhao He and others to enter the city quickly and close the city gate immediately." Zhang Duo ordered.

A group of more than 300 people had just entered the city gate. Zhao He suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and stabbed the soldiers guarding the city gate. Cao's army, which was still sluggish just now, showed its strong combat effectiveness.

The soldiers guarding the city gate were at a loss when their own side, Paoze, suddenly launched an attack. They did not expect what made Paoze attack them.

"These people are enemies, tell the general quickly." The captain of the city gate shouted.

Facing a sudden attack by Cao's army entering the city, you suffered heavy casualties at the city gate, while the cavalry outside the city also approached at an extremely fast speed.

After Zhang Duo learned about the changes at the city gate, his expression changed drastically. If the city gate was lost, what would happen next? Zhang Duo knew very well that once the Yizhou Army was allowed to enter the city, Xiangyang City would probably be destroyed.

Fall.

Although there are three thousand defenders in the city, if they lose the advantage of the city, they will suffer a lot of slaughter when facing the cavalry.

The current situation is very clear. Zhao He has surrendered to the Yizhou Army and helped the Yizhou Army seize Xiangyang City. Zhao He is filled with anger for such a person who betrayed the army. It is precisely because of the existence of such a person that he can

Today's events in Xiangyang, otherwise, it would not be easy to conquer Xiangyang just by relying on the current strength of the Yizhou Army.

War is full of accidents. The current situation outside Xiangyang City is a good illustration of this point. Although the number of the Yizhou Army is not large, it will not suffer too many setbacks when attacking the city.

, the advantage of the city has been lost after the city gate was captured.

"Order the defenders in the city to go to the city gate immediately, and be sure to block the enemy's cavalry from entering the city. Order the defenders in the city to come quickly, and the defenders at other city gates to come as appropriate." Zhang Duo ordered hurriedly.

The defenders on the city headed towards the city gate. These soldiers of Cao's army who suddenly betrayed were elite men selected by Pang Tong from the Yizhou army. After entering the city gate, the fighting power they displayed was extraordinary for Cao's army.

In comparison, it often takes two or even three Cao Army soldiers to kill a Yizhou Army soldier.
