Chapter 379: Battle on the Tower
However, just after they ran away, they were killed by the Donglin Army led by Jiang Yue.
At this time, Xue Wen asked: "General Yue, shall we go back to the city now?"
"The Jin army has not been defeated yet. If we let them go, they will definitely threaten the safety of the people!" Jiang Yue knew that it would be impossible for 5,000 soldiers to defeat 50,000 soldiers.
She scanned the battlefield with a determined gaze and led the charge towards the enemy.
"Listen, soldiers of the Great Jin. Your commander is dead. Those who surrender will be spared!"
Her words were like a blow to the Jin army who had just learned of Abuhan's death, and they began to feel uneasy.
Especially seeing the head in her hand.
General Abuhan is dead?
How can this be?
The soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty were already dizzy and confused by this guerrilla strategy.
Especially the scattered army, which has lost its previous cohesion.
However, this does not mean that they will surrender.
Now that General Abuhan is dead, they are in complete chaos and have no idea how many troops Donglin has. Therefore, the best solution they can think of is to retreat.
Even though the main general of the Great Jin was dead, they still had various deputy generals.
If we fight again at this moment, there will be no chance of winning.
Their morale plummeted due to their panic.
However, at this moment, the more they wanted to retreat, the more they were controlled by Jiang Yue and could not retreat.
In Jiang Yue's opinion, the current situation is already the best outcome.
What she wanted was for the Jin army to be thrown into chaos.
She would never allow the Jin army to hide in the land to the east of them.
So, while continuing to waste time, she sent Xue Wen back.
"Go check the city gate."
She wanted to create a complete picture of the enemy's combat operations.
...Let’s talk about the city of Lindu.
Just before this, General Zhuo Lu had been looking for an opportunity to shoot Chen Yuan, but as soon as their building vehicle entered, Chen Yuan could no longer be found.
At this moment, the archers on the city wall, who had already drawn their arrows, suddenly retracted their bodies in response to His Majesty's order.
Then, I heard the city gate suddenly open.
"Soldiers, charge!" Chen Yuan shouted, and the three thousand soldiers behind him rushed out of the city wall like a storm and headed straight for the young general Zhuolu.
As Chen Yuan rushed out, Zhuo Lu's face suddenly looked happy.
I thought to myself: This trick of luring the snake out of its hole really works.
But...isn't this too easy?
Thinking of this, his face changed.
Zhuo Lu was just challenging him to a fight; he had no intention of actually fighting.
If a fight really broke out, he was afraid that the troops at the Donglin Tower would be as strong as his.
However, seeing that the soldiers defending the city from the east had already suddenly rushed out of the city gate, he did not have any time to react at all, and he retreated subconsciously.
But the moment they retreated, they were tightly surrounded by the 3,000 soldiers led by Chen Yuan.
"You big Jin dog thief, with just these few men, you dare to challenge your grandfather to a fight?" When Chen Yuan said this, what he was thinking in his heart was whether His Majesty's siege strategy was reliable.
"Soldiers, it's time to show your strength!"
At his command, three thousand soldiers began to hack and kill Zhuolu's more than one hundred teams with their swords.
Zhuolu saw that he was no match for his opponent and couldn't escape, so he began to seek help from outside.
However, at this moment, their nearly 10,000 soldiers outside were watching the situation.
Donglin felt that Dajin was cheating, and so was Dajin.
That’s right, the young general of the Jin Dynasty hiding in the dark had the same idea as Zhuo Lu.
Why was Donglin so impatient and was forced out of the city so quickly?
In normal times, shouldn't they guard the city gates and stay indoors?
The young generals of the Jin Dynasty in the dark were really afraid that Donglin would use a big move, so they did not dare to act rashly at this time.
Since they couldn't catch the wolf without sacrificing the lamb, they had to use Zhuolu and wait and see what would happen.
The three thousand soldiers led by Chen Yuan had no trouble fighting against Zhuo Lu's more than one hundred enemy troops.
Just as Chen Yuan rode his horse forward, he fought with Zhuo Lu for several rounds. Then, with the help of the soldiers beside him, he swept his spear and directly killed Zhuo Lu with the tip of his spear.
"It seems that Dajin is just bluffing!"
Chen Yuan was very arrogant when he said this.
As a result, the soldiers beside him also became majestic and awe-inspiring.
At this moment, Zhao Chongxiu on the city wall was also watching the situation.
Beside him, Zhao Yuanzhen frowned as he watched.
"Father, the enemy troops of the Great Jin are very cunning. What if they refuse to show up?"
"If they refuse to show up, we will gain by killing more than a hundred of them." Zhao Chongxiu has been thinking about this problem.
"According to what Zhen'er said, how can we lure them out?"
Zhao Chongzhen thought for a moment, "The Jin soldiers in the dark are afraid of our large number of soldiers, so they will not dare to move out rashly. But at this moment, if the Jin army comes to attack, the enemy troops in the dark will definitely show up."
"Zhen'er has indeed improved a lot, but with the young general outside, their large army won't arrive so soon." Zhao Chongxiu thought of Jiang Yue again. Because the enemy was large and we were small, he became more worried than before.
She was afraid that Jiang Yue would not be able to withstand the attack of the Jin army and would be defeated and killed by them.
Looking down at the city wall, the three thousand soldiers led by Chen Yuan quickly killed more than a hundred Jin soldiers including Zhuo Lu one by one.
Chen Yuan, seeing that he could not lure out the enemy troops, could not help but glance at His Majesty on the city wall, feeling extremely anxious.
If we turn around at this moment, it will definitely be impossible to reenter the capital.
Zhao Chongxiu did not offer a solution immediately, but looked at the prince beside him, wanting to hear his opinion.
"Zhen'er, tell me, what should we do?"
Zhao Yuanzhen said without thinking:
"Of course, we are here to rescue the young general. I believe that as soon as General Chen runs away, the enemy army of the Great Jin will surely chase him. Then, we can try out the power of this fuel."
Since what the emperor just said is that the young general has trapped a large number of enemy troops, it seems that they are in danger.
"That's right." Zhao Chongxiu nodded with satisfaction, and gave a deep order to Chen Yuan, who was in a dilemma below the tower:
"Assist the young general!"
"I obey your command!" Chen Yuan said in a loud voice, but he was already in a panic inside.
After all, he had never seen it with his own eyes, so he was still skeptical about the siege weapon that His Majesty mentioned.
But now, he can only risk it.
"Soldiers, assist the young general and attack the Great Jin!"
After he finished speaking, he took the lead and rushed forward, followed by more than 3,000 soldiers on horseback and on foot.
They marched very quickly and rushed straight out of the city wall.
But another problem arises.
Where is the young general now? Where should they go to find him?
Chen Yuan had no military advisor, only the emperor's orders, and he was full of thoughts while running.
However, he suddenly remembered that His Majesty's move was to ask him to lure out the hidden enemy troops. He could not help but slap his forehead and secretly called himself stupid.
Just at this moment, the young general of the Great Jin Dynasty who was hiding outside the city wall showed a scornful smile on his face.
I originally thought that the Donglin Army had some big conspiracy, but I didn't expect that they were just the 5,000 troops going to aid them.
"Soldiers, now is the right time, kill them!"
