Chapter 71 The Battle of Zhuqiu
Chapter 71: The Battle of Zhuqiu
The success of Zhang Chuan's attack on Lu County greatly stimulated the nerves of the commanders of the Western Army. They all felt that they must make some achievements as soon as possible. Xin led an army of [-] to attack Xue Rengui's troops in Zhuqiu.

Since Xue Rengui led his troops here in September of the seventh year of Qianyuan, he began to integrate the Chu army's forces in Zhuqiu, and got in touch with Xiangwei's troops in Xiangxian County.

At the head of Zhuqiu City, Xue Rengui led Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to observe the Wei army camp.

Looking at the Wei army camp outside the city, Xue Rengui smiled and said: "This Sima Song is really arrogant. The camp is arranged so randomly. It seems that he looks down on us."

"Hehe, General Xue, wouldn't it be good to underestimate us? If Sima Song takes us too seriously, he has fifty thousand soldiers and horses, and he is really difficult to deal with." Zhang Liao also laughed.

Xue Rengui nodded with a smile and said, "In that case, let's give Sima Song another fire to show the enemy weakness, and make Sima Song feel that I, Xue Rengui, is a soft persimmon who can be manipulated casually, so that we can find a chance to kill him. Defeat in one fell swoop."

"Yes, General." Zhang Liao and Gao Shun agreed.

Outside Zhuqiu City, Sima Song saw that the defense of Zhuqiu City was loose, and the soldiers were totally lacking energy, they looked like a mob.

Sima Song smiled and said to Yu Chixin and Chen Feng: "It seems that Yue Fei also has a false name. Look at Deng Jun in the city, they are just a bunch of mobs, plus this Xue Rengui, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, etc. are all nobody. It’s ridiculous to want to block the general’s pace like this, I really don’t understand, what did Fan Yi of the Han Dynasty do to eat, and he was defeated by such a mob, it seems that the Han Dynasty is also at sunset.”

"What General Sima said is true. It seems that Zhuqiu City is within easy reach." Yu Chixin and Chen Feng echoed.

Sima Song glanced at Zhuqiu City again, and said: "How about this, the army rests for three days, and after three days, break Zhuqiu in one go, and then move northward to destroy Yue Fei, so that Zhou Shen can see See how Yue Fei, whom he has always regarded as his great enemy, is vulnerable to us."

"Here!" Yu Chixin and Chen Feng responded.

At night, Xue Rengui gathered with Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to discuss a plan to deal with Sima Song.

Xue Rengui said: "I observed the Wei army camp during the day, and found that their defenses are very lax, and they probably won't launch an attack on Zhuqiu City for a while, and judging from the situation during the day, we showed the enemy a weak strategy. It worked, so I had a plan in mind."

"Please show me, General!" Zhang Liao and Gao Shun had some doubts about Xue Rengui's ability. If it wasn't for Yue Fei's appointment of Xue Rengui as the main general, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun wouldn't have been so easily placed under him. The art of war is also a leader in the world. After coming to Zhuqiu, they have benefited a lot from Xue Rengui, and now they are convinced of Xue Rengui. No matter what decision Xue Rengui makes, they will unswervingly implement it.

Xue Rengui took out a map of the Wei army's camp, which was drawn by Xue Rengui from memory during the day, and said to Zhang Liao and Gao Shun: "At dawn tomorrow, General Gao Shun will lead the trapped camp out of the city secretly, bypassing the Wei army camp, and lurking Behind the camp of the Wei army, waiting for orders, and paying close attention to the movements of the Wei army for the past two days. Two days later, on the night of the full moon, General Zhang Liao and I took advantage of the darkness to raid the camp of the Wei army. When we fought fiercely with the Wei army, General Gao Lead the trapped camp and break into the tent of the Wei army's central army."

"The number of people trapped in the camp is small, so we must attack at the right time, otherwise we will be surrounded. General Gao, the burden on your shoulders is not light." Xue Rengui said.

After hearing this, Gao Shun showed a firm expression and said: "General Xue, don't worry, the final general will live up to everyone's expectations."

"Okay, then I will leave everything to General Gao, pass on the order, loosen outside and tighten inside for the next two days, don't need to deploy too many soldiers and horses on the top of the city, continue to give Sima Song an illusion, and the rest of the soldiers recharge their batteries and wait for orders. "Xue Rengui laughed.

At dawn the next day, Gao Shun led the trapped camp to leave Zhuqiu City. Due to Sima Song's arrogance, the Wei army did not notice any troops leaving from Zhuqiu City, so Gao Shun easily bypassed the Wei army camp. , came to lurk behind it.

On June [-]th of the eighth year of Qianyuan, after Sima Song issued the order to attack Zhuqiu tomorrow, he asked the soldiers to rest earlier and recharge their batteries, planning to take Zhuqiu in one go.

At night, the full moon hung high, and there were still two or three Deng soldiers patrolling the city of Zhuqiu, but there were already [-] troops assembled inside the city.

At this time, the Wei army camp was completely silent. The Wei army was in a state of deep sleep from the top general to the small soldiers. There were a few scattered soldiers in the camp patrolling with yawns.

Xue Rengui and Zhang Liao led the army to take advantage of the night to reach the gate of Wei Jun's camp. There were only two or three soldiers guarding the camp gate.

"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!" Xue Rengui shot several arrows in succession, killing several Wei soldiers on the camp gate, and sealed their throats with one arrow.

After dealing with the gatekeeper Wei Jun, Zhang Liao led a team to the gate and opened it.

"Kill!" The gate of Wei Jun's camp opened wide, and Xue Rengui led the army to kill in.

"Enemy attack!" Deng Jun rushed in suddenly, and Wei Jun was caught off guard. Soon, the front camp was captured by Deng Jun. At this time, the central and rear troops reacted.

Sima Song in the big tent of the Chinese army was awakened by the shouts of killing, put on his coat, went outside the tent, and shouted: "What's the matter, what happened?"

At this time, Chen Feng came to Sima Song and said, "General Sima, the Deng army has attacked the camp, the front camp has fallen, and the Deng army has already killed the central army. General Yuchi is organizing soldiers to resist."

"What?" Sima Song was shocked and said, "This Deng Jun dared to attack the camp. He ordered the rear army to call up all the rear troops and encircle and kill Deng Jun here."

"Here!" Chen Feng responded.

After Xue Rengui and Zhang Liao led the army to the Central Army, they were blocked by Yuchixin's troops. Seeing this, Xue Rengui raised the Fangtian painted halberd in his hand and fought with Yuchixin.

Although Yu Chixin was not weak in strength, he was still far behind Xue Rengui. In less than fifty rounds, he was killed by Xue Rengui with a halberd.

As soon as Yu Chixin died, the Wei army was in chaos. Deng Jun took the opportunity to rush to the front of the Wei army's central army tent, and the Wei army's rear army also killed and killed them, fighting fiercely with Deng Jun.

At this time, the rear army of the Wei army was full of flames. It turned out that they were ambushing outside the camp of the rear army of the Wei army. The trend, when the rear army of the Wei army was rushing towards the central army, Gao Shun led his troops to attack the rear army of the Wei army.

Gao Shun and the camp became the last straw to overwhelm the Wei army. Sima Song of the Chinese army was ashamed, and he knew that everything was over.

Chen Feng rushed to Sima Song covered in blood, supported Sima Song and said, "General Sima, the general situation is over, let's go."

Sima Song's face was pale, and he couldn't even stand still. He said to Chen Feng with a mournful face: "General Chen, General Yuchi died in battle, our army was defeated, what face do you think I have to go back to see the king and the general?"

Chen Feng saw that Sima Song was still thinking about whether there was something or not at this time, didn't he know that running for his life was important?Immediately shouted anxiously: "General Sima, the Deng army is fierce, the rear army has already fallen, if we don't leave, we will all die here, General Sima!"

But Sima Song didn't seem to hear Chen Feng's words, he stood there in a daze, motionless, Chen Feng became anxious, and quickly called a few people to set up Sima Song and kill him.

After several bloody battles, Chen Feng finally took Sima Song out of the siege, but none of the 3000 troops survived, leaving less than [-] people. In order to avoid being chased and killed by Deng Jun, Chen Feng quickly took Sima Song who was stunned Song fled back to Xiayi.

After the defeat of the Wei army, Xue Rengui ordered Gao Shun to clean up the battlefield, Zhang Liao collected the Wei army prisoners, and he wrote the battle report and sent someone to Yue Fei in Fengxian County.
