Chapter 49 The Death of Taishi Ci

What Taishici said was actually not bad. Guo Jia was able to hide from the siege detectives along the way, and there were indeed not many soldiers and horses sent, or even less than a thousand people. He was able to successfully attack the surprise attack. First, the sentencing was enough elite. Although Ye Zhao's most elite Jiefan army was not given to Guo Jia, Ye Zhao's subordinates never lacked elites, and basically had training in the military camp. Such a team of troops were ambushed and fought at night. The troops brought out of the city were not as defeated, but rather mutinous.

After all, except for Ye Zhao's troops, most of the troops or people in this era were not very clear about the sight of objects at night, and after a sudden attack, it was easy to form a mutiny.

As for the opportunity to enter Ju County later, there were actually not many people. Fang Yue ordered people to prepare torch racks in advance. One person held up six torches on them. The army in the city saw only the firelight. They thought the city had been broken without knowing it. With the characteristics of night blindness, Fang Yue basically did not have much strength to conquer Ju County.

Taishici didn't understand the truth, but he knew that the other party must not have many people. So after receiving the news from Ma Zhong, his first reaction was to lead the army back and retake Ju County.

But there was indeed not much manpower last night, but now I may not be able to kill myself.

When Taishici brought two thousand soldiers who were originally planning to ambush Ding Li back to Ju County, he saw the flags on the top of Ju County, but there were not many people on the top of the city. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart and pointed to the city wall and said, "There are not many people and horses. Men, kill me!"

Ju County is not a big city, and the city wall is only more than meter. If it is converted into rice, it is only two or three meters high. Even if there are no siege equipment, you can climb up with some suggestions of wooden sticks.

But before the army could arrive, two troops suddenly appeared on both sides of Ju County. Judging from the momentum, each group had less than 3,000 people. At the same time, dense figures appeared on the head of Ju County at the same time.

Seeing this, Taishici's expression changed drastically. He didn't dare to continue fighting in this situation. No matter how good his martial arts skills were, he never thought that he could stand up to thousands of troops alone.

"Retreat~"

Although he was unwilling to accept it, seeing that Ju County had no chance of recapturing it, Taishici was naturally unwilling to take all his troops and horses. He immediately turned his head and took his men and horses toward Yangdu.

Yangdu is backed by Mount Tai, which is also an easy-to-defense and difficult-to-attack place. As long as you can reach Yangdu, although the terrain is not as good as Ju County, it is not easy to break through. At that time, Sun Ce's reinforcements should also arrive.

Fang Yue chased after several miles and killed hundreds of thieves, then withdrew his troops back to the city, but did not chase him too far.

"Sir, I am a god!" When I returned to the city, I saw that Guo Jia had already arrived in the city and hurriedly stepped forward to see him.

"Taishi Ci is indeed a general, but it's a pity!" Guo Jia nodded with a smile, and the other party said, "General leads his army to Moutai as quickly as possible. As long as he occupies this place, he will be unable to control the situation in the Central Plains!"

If Ju County is the gateway from Qingzhou to Xuzhou, then Yangdu and Moutai are the gateway from Xuzhou to Qingzhou. As long as you defend these two places, you can attack and retreat or defend, Sun Ce has an army of 100,000 and dare not easily transfer to the Central Plains. In this way, even if the Cao-Sun Alliance is abolished, Ye Zhao can attack Cao Cao with all his might.

As for this, Guo Jia is not going to advance southward. Qingzhou has become a wasteland. Continuing to push south means that the supply line will be infinitely lengthened. Although Ye Zhao's troops are elite, they are not as convenient as Sun Ce. They can transport supplies from the sea and the river. Continue to advance. It is a situation where the army goes deeper and it is easy to cut off the rear route. Ye Zhao's army can fight no matter how hard it is. Once the rear route is cut off, the morale of the army will be deteriorated.

Now is the critical moment for Ye Zhao to unify the Central Plains. At this time, he not only demands victory, but also requires stability, and there is no omission. Otherwise, the unification situation that has been finally created will collapse again.

"Here!" Fang Yue bowed and agreed, turned around and left, and sent troops. Guo Jia began to deploy from Ju County to Beihai. The method of Taishici setting up a beacon tower is actually desirable, but it was too few. Guo Jia planned to set up a beacon tower every ten miles in this place to prevent Sun Ce's army from making a comeback. At the same time, he wrote a letter to Ye Zhao. Sun Ce had been successfully restrained and Ye Zhao could attack with all his strength.

On the other hand, after getting rid of Fang Yue's pursuit, Taishi Ci led the remaining troops to run all the way. Finally, before dark, they arrived in Yangdu. There were only 300 defenders in Yangdu. The flag representing Jiangdong on the top of the city drifted in the wind. Seeing that there was no loss here, Taishi Ci finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Yang was not lost, he would still have a chance. At the same time, he sent someone to call the door, and at the same time, he sent someone to inform Sun Ce to rescue him. With his current two thousand troops, Ju County was lost, it was impossible to block Ye Zhao's army's attack.

Soon, the gate of Yangdu opened, but no one was seen going out to greet him. Taishi Ci didn't suspect that he was there, and immediately took Ma Zhong and the remaining troops to the city gate.

Now the soldiers of the three armies are exhausted, and Taishi Ci is not in the mood to care about the rudeness of the Yangdu General, so he takes his people to the city.

"General, something is wrong!" Walking into the dark city gate, Ma Zhong suddenly frowned and looked at Taishi Ci and said, "This Yangdu City is too quiet, and why does the Yangdu Guard refuse to come forward? Logically speaking, if it were not for the Yangdu Guard's order, the city gate would not have been opened without authorization at night."

Taishi Ci was slightly stunned when he heard this. Originally, he didn't care about these things, but after Ma Zhong mentioned it, he also found something wrong. He looked up and looked around. Logically, if it was not completely entered the night today, the whole city was silent, terrible quiet!

There is a fraud!

Taishici reacted, quickly stopped the horse, turned his head and said, "The back team changed to the front team and left the city!"

The soldiers did not understand what had happened. Although they were unwilling to do so, the military orders were as good as a mountain and could only follow the orders and immediately changed the formation.

"Boom boom boom boom~"

More than a dozen huge rocks fell down and hit the city gate. Several Jiangdong soldiers who could not hide were not aware of what happened, but were smashed into meat mud by the falling rocks from the sky. At the same time, there were deafening shouts outside the city. Torches kept lit up on the city wall. This was not a bluff, but a real warrior.

The general in the lead was Ding Li. Looking at the panicked Jiangdong soldiers under the city, Ding Li waved the flag in his hand indifferently: "Shot the arrow!"

In an instant, thousands of arrows rushed forward, and the dark rain of arrows blocked the remaining ray of sunlight. The Jiangdong soldiers who followed Taishi Ci into the city gate were instantly obscured by the arrow rain. Taishi Ci, Ma Zhong and several guards saw that the opportunity was not good, hurriedly hid behind the quilt before barely avoiding the disaster. However, the people outside the city were fighting with the enemy. On one side were elites who were raising their energy, while on the other side were the Jiangdong soldiers who were exhausted and exhausted, were suddenly attacked again. Even if they didn't see it with their own eyes, Taishi Ci could imagine the scene outside the city gate.

Taishici's eyes were red. As the rain of arrows stopped, Ma Zhonghu, who was caught in an arrow, roared and ran out of the city with a few remaining guards.

Outside the city, more than a thousand soldiers from Jiangdong had been killed and were defeated. Taishici took Ma Zhong out of the city. Seeing this, he didn't care about saying anything. He picked up Fang Tian's painting halberd but saw a flash of cold light, and then he knocked down an enemy general who was running towards him.

"Get on the horse!" Taishi Ci saw that Ma Zhong was injured and asked him to get on the horse first.

"General, where are you?" Ma Zhong was dragged to the horse by Taishi Ci and hurriedly said.

"Give it up again!" Taishi Ci dragged the halberd out without saying a word. Several Guanzhong soldiers came to kill him. Taishi Ci shook the halberd in his hand and killed the Guanzhong soldiers.

Taishici found it was inappropriate in this fight. In the past, such small soldiers were really like chopping melons and vegetables when facing generals like Taishici. But this time, when facing the soldiers in Guanzhong, Taishici couldn't find that feeling. He slashed the opponent's armor with a halberd. Although he could cut people, the armor's defense was amazing. With Taishici's strength, his arms felt numb.

A halberd killed a soldier on the ground, and two other soldiers thrust their swords forward. Taishi Ci quickly swung his halberd to block it. But just now, another soldier rushed behind him and slashed his back, leaving a deep bone-showing wound on Taishi Ci's back. Taishi Ci screamed in pain. These soldiers actually knew the art of joint attack. If the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong were so elite, would Jiangdong really have a chance of winning?

"General!" Seeing this, Ma Zhong was very anxious and rode his horse to knock the soldier away, holding a knife in his right hand and slashing wildly.

Taishici was able to breathe, danced the halberd again and fought with the soldiers coming. A row of shield soldiers were holding large shields to surround this side. Although Taishici didn't know what these pure shield soldiers were useful, seeing the other party's large shield, which was more than half a person tall, surrounded them like a copper wall, I suddenly felt something was wrong. The halberd in my hand waved even more wildly, and I had to break through the siege before these people came.

However, the Guanzhong army around is so numerous that it makes people desperate!

On the Yangdu city wall, looking at Taishi Ci who had killed more than a dozen soldiers, a hint of amaze flashed in Ding Li's eyes. Ding Li knew the power of the elite in the pass, but if it were him, at most three people would be strangled by these elites. Taishi Ci could even kill more than a dozen soldiers in the siege. I am afraid that if Ye Zhao's command really fights with Taishi Ci, those who can fight against Taishi Ci will not be able to do a single palm!

Ma Zhong was dragged off the horse and dragged into the army. After a few screams, he was gone. Taishi Ci was extremely distressed, but he could do nothing. At this time, he had no time to take care of Ma Zhong. As for the other guards, they had long been buried among these Guanzhong soldiers.

Taishici killed a soldier with a crazy halberd, but he felt that his eyes were empty. The Guanzhong army around him seemed to have retreated. However, looking at the shields surrounding him, an unspeakable sense of powerlessness surged into his heart.

"Roar~" Taishi Ci waved his halberd wildly and slashed the oncoming shield. However, the shield was covered with animal skins, and it was made of wood inside. It was extremely tough. Taishi Ci cut dozens of halberds, but he failed to cut the shield.

The range of movement was getting smaller and smaller. In the end, even the halberd in his hand could no longer be used. Seeing the big shields surrounding him, cold blades pierced out from the gaps of the big shield.

Taishici's body trembled, his tiger's eyes widened, and blood flowed all over the ground along the shield. Taishici could feel the rapid passing of life, and suddenly let out a desolate laugh and said loudly: "A real man was born in a chaotic world. He should carry a three-foot sword to achieve unparalleled achievements; what he has failed now, how can he die!"

After speaking, he died of anger.

Ding Li came to the formation, looked at Taishi Ci's corpse, sighed, waved his hand, and the shield hands around him suddenly dispersed, and a large amount of blood was spilled down. Taishi Ci's hands were still holding a piece of the halberd that had fallen until his death. Although the shield hands around him left, Taishi Ci's body stood still and his eyes were wide open.
