Book 20 Chapter 4 – A Troops to Achieve Victory

Acco lay low in a forest located between the ene for the eneht into the trap

In their calculation, the eneth was around one thousand riders, so it should not be difficult to deal with

They had scouts on allas Yuwen Huaji’s main force, which was located three li to their left, made any move, they would know it like the back of their hand

Suddenly on their right, about a li or so, from the enemy’s rear caing fire soaring to the sky, and the sound of hoof beats continuously growing in intensity

Kou Zhong said, “It would be best if Yuwen Huagu thought that our whole nest came out On one hand he would send fast riders to come to help, on the other hand reissued the co could be better than that”

‘Boo noise fro the battering vehicle has shown some results

This reatly delighted, he reported, “This tiain Yuwen Huaji already exhausted his cavalry to come here to help; they will arrive in the blink of an eye”

‘Boom! Boom! Boom!’

At the sa the start of the attack toward the city

Xu Ziling sing Wei to rescue Zhao’ stratagem If we can be a bit quicker, perhaps we can launch pincer attack froe starts”

Before he even finished, there was a sudden sound of hoof beats The enemy riders appeared on the plains outside the forest, they were galloping in single file, rushi+ng wildly toward the rear ca waited until the head of the procession reached the sloping hill and the entire cavalry was exposed under attack before he shouted and took the lead to charge

Each one of them already had a bow and an arrow in hands As soon as the horses carrying the enee, the sound of arrows split the air rang out, the enemies were hit and fell in confusion

Immediately their formation was thrown into disarray, because theirattacked, and the head and the tail of the procession were unable to help each other

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, each one leading their own team, separately attacked the front and the rear, so that the ene swept by the wind

One side was the recently defeated troops, beaten and exhausted; the other side had enjoyed victory in succession, their morale was like a rainbow, both officers and soldiers followed their leaders willingly, indeed there was no comparison between the two sides

Almost at the point of contact, the Yuwen Army only wanted to run away and scatter, no one dared to face and meet the attack

After a short chase, some of the enemies turned back to Yuwen Huaji’sand Xuan Yong’s two-prong heavy siege; being cornered, they struggled obstinately to resist the ene area held their torches high, illu’s Moon in the Well eht yellow ray Wherever the saber went, an ene!’

Suddenly the Moon in the Well was blocked

The two cohter, “Turns out it’s Chengdu Xiong [see Book 5 Chapter 10]; what a coincidence we came across each other in here!”

While the two du’s barely a dozen reetables and fell down their horses; he was the only one left sitting on his horse

Being surrounded at the center of the siege, Yuwen Chengdu’s countenance alternated between red and white; his eyes revealed a terrified look

Kou Zhong’s pair of tiger-eyes shone with sharp flashes; laughing coldly, he said, “That day when, using a despicable ht to reht arrive”

Suddenly he leaped off the horseback and soared overhead Yuwen Chengdu; like a gale the Moon in the Well rained down

In his great shock Yuwen Chengdu did everything he could to send his strength to his sword to parry, but Kou Zhong’s wild and ferocious saber, which was unleashed with hatred in his heart, forced hiht in panic, while he himself was drenched in cold sweat

The crowd all around the’s divine valor, they all cheered at the top of their lungs to boost Kou Zhong’s morale Their voices penetrated the starry sky

‘Dang!’

While the echo was still lingering in the air, Kou Zhong already returned the saber into its scabbard, and with a graceful flip he so, his feet had never touched the ground

Yuwen Chengdu’s face revealed a hard-to-believe expression And then his sword dropped, a blood trace, about a cun long, appeared between his eyebrows ‘Bang!’ he fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust

The crowd raised their weapons to salute, and broke into a thunderous cheer

Kou Zhong looked at Xu Ziling, who had just rushed over; the latter’s handso of Cui Dong’s blood debt has raised du broke into Dong Ming Flagshi+p to steal the Account Book in the past [see Book 4 Chapter 1], how could Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong ever think that they would be able to kill him with a chop of a saber on the battlefield?

Rushi+ng over, Xuan Yong said, “The enemy camp has been broken, their army provisions have fallen entirely under our control; will the next step be storhted, Kou Zhong shook his head and said, “The situation has changed Now the one to worry about food is the enemy, not us at all Let alone his cavalry has been broken by us in total disorder We are going to exercise a bit ain the bitter outcoe”

The crowd agreed with loud shout, and marched back to the city

“The enemy withdrew! The troops moved back!”

The soldiers and civilians on the top of the Liangdu city wall cheered in chorus, their voices reached the heavens

Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Xuan Yong, three men, rushed to the top of the wall, and looked at the eneh the caji Canal, and using several dozen rafts tied together with thick ropes, they built crude pontoon bridges, hich they crossed to the other side as quickly as they could More than half of their ten thousand soldiers had successfully crossed over

Although this move was really beyond anybody’s expectation, but it should not come as a surprise

These past three days Yuwen Huaji had suffered blow after blow that their losses were disastrous Not only he lost Yuwen Wudi and Yuwen Chengdu, two great fierce generals and brothers, nearly half of his siege equipment were burned, most of his cavalry was annihilated, injured and deceased soldiers and generals nearly seven thousand, on top of that, his ar on would be tantauessed that Yuwen Huaji would retreat, so he already laid out a plan to pursue quickly; but he did not expect the enerabbed the initiative of crossing to the opposite shore first, and thus had secured their safety with the river as a barrier

While Kou Zhong’s countenance was alternating between cloudy and clear, Xu Ziling’s hand reached over and grabbed his shoulder tightly Although his voice carried a little bit of despair, he spoke with deter the whole city to take a risk Avenging Niang cannot be fought in one day or half a day There will cou will pay this blood debt with his own blood”

Like a deflated ball, Kou Zhong smiled ruefully and nodded helplessly

The eneji Canal as the barrier, and their reater than their own; if they pursued hastily, even if they ht achieve the final victory, they would have to pay a heavy loss

Just consider Yuwen Huagu still had a bit of luck re!
