Chapter 839 Purpose
At the foot of the mountain, while collecting Liang Jun’s supplies, Xie Liancheng did not forget to order two cavalry squads to confirm the area of the mountain along the foot of the mountain to prevent Liang Jun from escaping into the mountain. After that, he sneaked down the mountain from another location and escaped.
During this process, the large force headed by Shi Lei quickly arrived here smoothly and completed the rendezvous with Jie Liancheng.
This was due to Xie Liancheng's actions, which greatly slowed down Liang Jun's movement efficiency.
“Did you escape into the mountains?”
After confirming the news, a small wrinkle appeared between Shi Lei's brows, but it soon relaxed.
"It doesn't matter, Liang Guo can't protect itself now. These Liang Jun soldiers are hiding in the mountains without logistical supplies. In the end, they will self-destruct."
Of course, let Liang Jun commit suicide. The prerequisite for destruction is that they cannot be allowed to escape.
Shi Lei naturally knew what to do and directly asked his troops to form a blockade along the foot of the mountain.
“Lieutenant Colonel, if our large army besieges Liang Jun here, how can we fight against Liang Jun over there?”
Hearing the adjutant's question, Shi Lei gave the adjutant a strange look.
"Who said that the purpose of our expedition this time is the city of Liang Kingdom?"
"Huh?"
The adjutant was confused.
Seeing this, Shi Lei patiently explained...
"From the beginning to the end, we have only one purpose, and that is to contain the large forces of Liang State. Now that the main forces of Liang State are here, if they cannot withdraw, the remaining forces of Liang State will be completely unable to attack us. Zhou's siege troops pose a threat."
At this point, Shi Lei paused.
"Understood? It doesn't matter whether we go to attack Liang Guo's city or not. What's important is that we can't let this large force go back."
The adjutant suddenly realized, during this period, he brought Coach Liang Jun, whose troops were hiding in the mountains and forests, undoubtedly knew this.
So his purpose from the beginning was not only to get rid of the pursuit of the Zhou cavalry troops, but also to try to lure them into the mountains.
Once the cavalry dismounts and enters the mountain, it is not much different from them.
Under this premise, according to their strength advantage, it is easy to destroy the opponent.
I never thought that the Zhou cavalry on the opposite side would not accept this trick at all. They turned around and took away the materials and equipment at the foot of the mountain that they had no time to deal with. Commander Liang Jun was so angry that he almost chewed his back teeth.
There was no other way. In this situation, he could only change his strategy immediately and see if he could go down the mountain from another position.
As a result, the Zhou cavalry at the foot of the mountain started patrolling at the foot of the mountain like roundworms in his stomach.
How could their movement efficiency in the mountains compare with that of the cavalry at the foot of the mountains?
The Zhou army that arrived later completely rejected his idea.
Now, without considering taking the initiative to go down the mountain and have a head-on conflict with the Zhou troops, they basically have only one choice left, which is to climb over the mountain and find a way out from the other side of the mountain. .
To be honest, this is not a good choice, not only because the mountain is difficult to walk, but also because they do not know what is on the other side of the mountain and it is full of unknown risks.
Faced with this choice, coach Liang Jun fell into brief contemplation and then made a decision.
At the same time, the Da Zhou troops, who were ready to spend a long time here, had already set up camp at the foot of the mountain. Inside the camp, Shi Lei was thinking about something in a daze. The adjutant called him several times before he realized what was going on.
"Lieutenant Colonel, what are you thinking about?"
After hearing this, Shi Lei said calmly...
"I am thinking about what the opponent will choose."
Speaking of this, Shi Lei paused.
"What do you want from me?"
"I almost forgot, Lieutenant Colonel, this is the patrol arrangement for the night, please take a look."
"..."
Time has fallen quietly into the night, and compared with the hot daytime, it is obviously much cooler now. As the night grew darker, the entire area became quiet, leaving only the chirping of insects in the mountains and forests.
At this moment, a burst of shouting broke out at the foot of the mountain, breaking the tranquility of the dark night!
The torches were lit one after another, and under the cover of night, Liang Jun quietly touched the foot of the mountain. At this moment, he was bursting at the fastest speed towards the garrison of the Zhou troops not far away. Rush through the camp!
"The success of life or death depends on tonight. Soldiers, kill!!"
At the moment of life and death, Commander Liang Jun also drew the sword from his waist and led the troops towards the court. They launched a charge towards Da Zhou's camp.
At this moment, a sharp whistling sound sounded.
Before they could react, a dense rain of arrows flew out from the Dazhou camp under the cover of night.
At the same time, a large number of fires lit up in the Dazhou camp.
Under the illumination of the firelight in the camp, the heavily armed Zhou troops were lined up in military formations, and they immediately caught the eye of Commander Liang Jun, causing his whole face to lose all color in an instant.
【Damn it, did the other side guess that I was going to attack at night? ! 】
After realizing this, Commander Liang Jun looked through a large number of Zhou soldiers in military formations, and finally fell on Shi Lei, who was dressed in military uniform.
The coaches of the two armies looked at each other from afar. Shi Lei was neither happy nor sad, but he was calm as he had the overall situation in hand.
"Fire arrows!"
The order was issued, and another round of arrow rain swept out. A large number of Liang Jun soldiers rushing in front died on the spot under random arrows.
At this moment, even coach Liang Jun had some thoughts of retreat in his heart, thinking of retreating to the mountains and forests to temporarily avoid the edge.
Unexpectedly, before he could finish this thought, a rumble of horse hooves came from behind, making his heart sink.
In the blink of an eye, the Zhou cavalry led by Jie Liancheng had already blocked their way back to the mountains and forests.
At the same time, the Dazhou soldiers who were also dormant around them also held spears, formed an encirclement, and advanced steadily, completely blocking their retreat.
Now it’s better, the escape route is completely blocked.
After two rounds of arrow rain, Shi Lei's voice rang out.
"You have no retreat. If you give up resistance, I can still spare your lives!"
In this situation, the words of persuading surrender can be said to have greatly affected the morale of the Liang Army soldiers and put them in an unprecedented state of vacillation.
Under tremendous pressure and feeling the threat of death, one of the soldiers could not help but take a step forward.
"I..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said a word, a long sword penetrated his chest directly from behind, making all Liang Jun soldiers look stern.
“Changing sides in battle! The crime is the same as treason! According to the law, the nine tribes will be implicated!!”
Pulling out his sword, Commander Liang Jun glared fiercely at Shi Lei who was standing opposite him, then raised the long sword that was still dripping blood in his hand and pointed it directly at him.
"I am here to announce today that if you kill one person, you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. If you kill ten people, you will be made a centurion. If you behead an enemy general, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels and be granted the title of Marquis of ten thousand households!!"< br>
At this moment, every time Coach Liang Jun said something, the soldiers under his command were breathing heavier.
Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man!
Coupled with the threat of the nine implicated tribes, the Liang Jun soldiers who were originally wavering refirmed their stance at this moment.
Shi Lei, who saw this scene in his eyes, turned cold.
Immediately afterwards, the coaches of both sides shouted that word almost at the same time.
“Kill!!!”
