Chapter 577: Speak east and attack west

"Break through!" Qiu Zhi said two words heavily.

"Breakthrough?" All the generals gathered in the tent were shocked. The general's words meant that the two armies they left behind to defend the flanks had been destroyed. Hu Zequan Lan Yumen had sealed their retreat, and they became the turtle of Weng Zhong.

"General, why not let us stick here to the end. As long as we stay for a long enough time, then your Majesty's army will come to hear the news. At that time, General Qu Yongjie will attack the periphery, and our center will bloom, and it is not impossible to wipe out King Ning." Sun Yao had just held his wound again and took a few sips of hot soup, and his spirit seemed much better.

Qiu Zhi nodded to him and said, "General Sun was right. To be honest, although we were surrounded, I was not worried. With our army's combat power, it is unlikely to win this war, but it is more than enough to defend for a while. I originally thought so." He sighed long, "It's a pity that God doesn't bless me to the Great Chu!"

The generals looked at each other and looked at Qiu Zhi silently, knowing that he must have some more details.

"Li Qing is not dead!" Qiu Zhi dropped the first bomb.

There was a rumbling sound in the tent, and the generals all exclaimed. Li Qing was not dead, and the Dingzhou army would definitely join the Central Plains war.

"The Dingzhou army has set up a suspicious formation, pretending to withdraw troops, and withdraw from Jinzhou. The Minzhou soldiers who lured General Zhang Aimin entered Jinzhou in large numbers and entered Yizhou to open the battlefield of the western front attack on Yizhou. The two troops of the Dingzhou Kings attacked Minzhou from Zunhua, the light cavalry raided Minzhou, burned General Zhang's logistics base, cut off the logistics supply, and the army swept across Minzhou. I am afraid that General Zhang has blocked all of General Zhang in Yizhou now. As for whether General Zhang Aimin is alive or dead, there is no news yet."

A sound of horror broke out in the tent again, and then there was a death-like silence. The battlefield of Yizhou changed. The Dingzhou army entered the Central Plains in a large scale, attacked Yizhou, and annihilated Zhang Aimin's troops, which meant that Tianqi and Qu Yongjie would face the strong attack of Dingzhou Iron Cavalry directly. The elite soldiers of Dingzhou were known to the world. In this way, Emperor Tianqi would inevitably be unable to withdraw his troops to help them. They have now become an isolated army, with no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside.

"We can only break through. While King Ning's troops have not been fully arranged, we will break through and leave tonight." Qiu Zhi slapped the table heavily and said.

"When the Captain Wan Changfeng of the Office of the State secretly came over, he found that in the Changping area behind us, the enemy's troops had not yet been in place. Only some sentry sergeants arrived early, so we broke out from here. Even if the enemy had arrived there, they would definitely not have time to make sufficient preparations. Both sides fought in an encounter. When they met on a narrow road, the brave won. We not only wanted to be brave men, but also we were still soldiers who were in the PUBG. Victory would definitely belong to us." Qiu Zhi's eyes were bright, "Once the time delay was delayed, let Hu Zequan and Lanshan make sufficient preparations. If we want to stick out, it would be difficult. Don't forget that Hu Zequan's defense line in Qingzhou once made us at a loss."

"Abide by the general's order!" All the generals answered their orders loudly.

"Will that general be the leader for me?" Qiu Zhi's eyes swept over everyone.

Everyone was silent for a moment. They not only had to break through the enemy's ***, but also had to stick to the enemy's ***, and the difficulties could be imagined. After a while, Sun Yao stood up and said, "I will go!"

"General Sun, you are injured in many places, can you continue to fight?" Qiu Zhi asked.

"Some minor injuries, if you have any worries, the general is worried, Sun Yao can fight!"

"Very good, Sun Yao, I will equip you with two thousand cavalry and three thousand infantrymen. You must take Changping and hold on until the large army arrives!" Qiu Zhi walked up to him and patted his shoulder.

"Yes! General!" Sun Yao nodded vigorously, "This time we break out, I will recommend you to Your Majesty as my deputy general!" Qiu Zhi said: "Be careful and come to see me alive!"

Qiu Zhi's decisiveness caught King Ning off guard. He did not expect Qiu Zhi to retreat so quickly. When the Qiang soldiers found that something was wrong, Qiu Zhi's camp was already empty. When the furious Mata was leading the elephant soldiers and rushed into the opponent's camp, the trap set up before leaving, Qiu Zhi pitted him hard again.

Deep traps were dug out in the camp. Inside the traps, there were spears with shining cold light, covered with oil cloth, covered with a thin layer of soil, and then poured with water. After one night, the ground was filled with ice crystals, which was no different from other open spaces. However, when the heavy elephants stepped on these places, they fell into deep pits without exception and were broken into intestines. After losing more than a dozen elephants in vain, Mata had to slow down its pace of chasing. These Han people were so dark that they had to set up any traps on the road to retreat. They were here to help with the war. Although the reward was generous, they did not have to pay their lives.

Mata was passive and lazy, and King Ning was helpless. Qiu Zhi was able to escape smoothly, but at this time, in Changping, Sun Yao fell into a tough battle.

When Sun Yao arrived in Changping, what was placed in front of him were the infantrymen of the two battalions of Hu Ze's troops who had arrived before him. Looking at the fierce military formation of the other party, Sun Yao couldn't help but feel bitter.

Sun Yao recruited all the generals and slashed out his long sword, "Everyone, the safety of tens of thousands of troops depends on me. Today is the decisive death. If I die in battle, Geng Ruoyugan will take over my command."

A middle-aged general strode out, drew out his long sword, and shouted: "As for orders, if I die in battle, General Xun Wai will take over my command!"

Another top step came out, pulled out the knife, and repeated the same steps.

"Tell the soldiers that moving forward is a way of life. Whether you retreat or not, it is a dead end. Go forward, go forward, go forward!" Sun Yao shouted.

After a stick of incense, Sun Yao's troops shouted forward slogans and launched a decisive attack. Defeating the enemy in front of them was the way to live. The desire for life made these soldiers who were trekking through the ice and snow. The exhausted soldiers burst out with terrifying combat power. Two thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry actually defeated the southern army of the two battalions stationed in Changping Town step by step, and the defense line was in danger.

The cruelty of Changping's fierce battle attracted the attention of Hu Zequan and Lan Shan. After watching for a long time, they finally confirmed that Qiu Zhi's breakthrough point was chosen here, and the one who assaulted Changping was indeed Qiu Zhi's most elite army. Not to mention anything else, just two thousand cavalrymen, after Qiu Zhi sent 20,000 elite troops to Gaizhou, he was one of the few cavalrymen in Qiu Zhi's hands. But now, they all entered Changping. The two immediately decided to send additional reinforcements to Changping.

Changping was like a piece of iron-sucking stone, attracting Qiu Zhi's elite troops one after another.

Late at night, Sun Yao, who led his troops to attack the front several times, finally got a scattered arrow. The feather arrow entered his left cheek and came out on his right cheek. He shot two arrows. Sun Yao fell off his horse and was then stabbed several times. The guards rushed forward without hesitation and snatched him back, but Sun Yao was already dying.

In the early morning, Geng Ruoyu, who was commanded by Sun Yao, was killed, but the troops who broke through Changping Town finally broke through and built several lines of defense according to the terrain, guarding the passage for the army to retreat.

At noon, Xun Wai was killed and his command was transferred to the hands of a Zhenwu captain, who were still firmly guarding Changping.

In a bungalow, Sun Yao lay on the bed dyingly, looking at the roof with his godless eyes wide open. At this time, they had been fighting a hard battle for nearly a day and a night, but Qiu Zhi's army was still missing.

"General Sun, why has the general's central army not arrived yet? We can't hold it for long?" A personal guard said beside Sun Yao's bed with a crying voice.

Sun Yao coughed violently. Every time he coughed, it was accompanied by heart-wrenching pain. He was injured in his mouth. Although he pulled out the arrow shaft and stopped the blood, the two small holes were still shocking. "The general will not come. The army should have broken through in another place at this time. Our mission is actually to attract the enemy and let the enemy transfer the main force here so that the general can attack the east and the west and break through smoothly."

Sun Yao said with difficulty. Every time he said a word, bloody foam flowed out of his mouth.

"What?" The personal soldier showed an incredible look in his eyes. "The general lied to us and betrayed us!" The personal soldier shouted.

Sun Yao smiled, "This, why is this called betrayal? This is war. For tens of thousands of troops, we can only sacrifice us. I knew this before I set out. If I want to cheat, I lied to you. I didn't tell you the truth. Five thousand soldiers, huh, if it can be exchanged for the successful breakthrough of tens of thousands of troops, it's worth it, it's worth it!"

"General Sun!" The personal soldiers burst into tears.

"Don't cry, don't cry. Who is commanding the troops now? Ask him to come and see me!" Sun Yao said intermittently.

"Yes, General Sun!"

At the same time, in the command center of Hu Zequan and Lanshan, Hu Zequan and Lanshan also understood that Qiu Zhi was deceived. To this extent, everyone knew that Qiu Zhi's army would never break through here.

"Where will he go?" Hu Zequan stared at the map and whispered.

"Changlin!" Lanshan said affirmatively.

"Why?" Hu Zequan asked.

"Because Changlin is my defense zone." Lanshan said: "If this is bait and a cover to attract our troops, then Qiu Zhi will definitely choose Changlin because he is familiar with the military style of our two people. I am good at attacking but not defending. You are in Qingzhou, and he has already made him suffer enough, so he will definitely choose Changlin."

Hu Zequan raised his head, "Leave a battalion and annihilate the enemy in front of him, and all the troops set off immediately and rushed to Changlin, hoping to block Qiu Zhi."
