Chapter 2072: Battle in Western Liaoning (Part 2)
Before Zhou Yu's first transfer, Fu Jian had set up an ambush early. In order to lead Zhou Yu into the inland, he adopted Lu Polou's strategy and decided to use the strategy of showing weakness to the enemy.
Fu Jian took Fu Ya, Yao Chang, Yao Xiang and other generals and personally led an army of three thousand to challenge, using himself as bait to lure Zhou Yu, a big fish.
After the armies met, Fu Jian sent Yao Xiang to challenge, and ordered him to deliberately defeat the Qin army to arrogant the Qin army. After the two armies fought, he deliberately defeated the Qin army and led Zhou Yu to lead his army to pursue him.
Once Zhou Yu pursues him and goes deep into the interior, the Qing cavalry will be dispatched and cut off Zhou Yu's retreat. By then, he will not be able to escape even if he wants to.
I have to say that Fu Jian and Lu Polou's strategic level was still very high, but they both underestimated the Qin army and overestimated themselves.
Zhou Yu's 30,000 new navy army is indeed not strong in combat power, but the strength of its lieutenants and generals is strong. Coupled with Zhou Yu, a famous high-ranking general, as long as he does not confront the main force of the Qing Dynasty head-on, whether it is an ambush or an insidious attack, All are possible.
Zhou Yu has been concealing his own lineup, and in order to prevent Fu Jian from seeing his side's weakness, he had to accept the Qing army's challenge.
Although Zhou Yu's 30,000-strong navy is a new army, it is based on the Yellow River Navy, so there are still elites in the army. However, there are too many recruits, and the veterans have been promoted and dispersed to lead the new soldiers. The dispersion of combat power.
In order to continue to mislead Fu Jian and prevent him from seeing the truth, Zhou Yu gathered all the veterans who had been promoted to corps commanders or even senior commanders at the expense of command chaos.
Fu Jian saw that although the Qin army only dispatched 3,000 troops, they were well-organized, had strict orders, and were full of murderous intent. He knew at a glance that they were elite troops. He mistakenly thought that the Qin troops who landed were all elites of this level, and he became more determined. He planned to introduce Zhou Yu into the interior to encircle and annihilate him.
Fu Jian first sent his fierce general Fu Ya to challenge.
Fu Ya was a famous general of the former Qin clan during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. When he led an army of 70,000 to attack the Qiu Chi Kingdom, he first defeated the Eastern Jin Dynasty Protector Guo Bao in central Shaanxi, and then defeated the main force of Qiu Chi in the Battle of Jiu Gorge and captured Qiu Chi Gong Yang. Compiled and destroyed Qiuchi State, and intimidated Tuyuhun to surrender to the Qin Dynasty.
Fu Ya has a record of leading an army to the destruction of a country. He is a general who is both commander-in-chief and brave. However, his force value is higher, reaching a super first-class level, and he is considered strong among super first-class soldiers.
Seeing that Fu Jian sent Fu Ya to challenge, and Zhou Yu had no information about Fu Ya, he directly sent General Lu Junyi to ensure safety.
Lu Junyi has reached the level of a divine general, so Fu Ya cannot be his opponent.
Within less than ten rounds of fighting between the two sides, Fu Ya was already at a disadvantage, and after twenty rounds, the situation became even more dangerous.
Fu Ya was originally planning to fake defeat, but she didn't expect that Lu Junyi, who was not famous, could be so strong. Even if he tried his best, he was still no match, and he couldn't even find a chance to escape.
Under Lu Junyi's all-out attack, it was difficult for Fu Ya to protect herself. If she ran away and exposed her back to Lu Junyi, she would be seeking death.
Can't be beaten, can't even run away? Fu Jian did not expect this situation.
Fu Ya was a member of the Fu family, so she had to save him, so Fu Jian sent Yao Xiang to help.
Yao Chang's younger brother Yao Xiang was strong and mighty, and good at winning over people's hearts. He was also a top-level warrior.
Fu Ya and Yao Xiang, neither of them is Lu Junyi's opponent, but together they can barely compete with Lu Junyi, but it cannot last long, and defeat will be a matter of time.
The three of them went back and forth and fought for fifteen rounds. Zhou Yu sent Guan Sheng to fight and helped Lu Junyi block Yao Xiang. Seeing this, Fu Jian was shocked and quickly waved his troops to cover up the attack, trying to save the two generals Fu Ya and Yao Xiang, but it was too late.
Without Yao Xiang’s assistance, Fu Ya, who was approaching her limit, would naturally find it difficult to stop Lu Junyi.
Lu Junyi struck out with all his strength and directly knocked away Fu Ya's weapon. Then he shot across with his backhand. A bloodstain instantly appeared on Fu Ya's neck, and she fell instantly.
Fu Ya died in battle. Yao Xiang no longer had the fighting spirit and did not dare to fight again. He turned around and ran away without saying a word. However, he was overtaken by Guan Sheng because his mount was not as good as Guan Sheng. He didn't even have time to scream and was defeated by Guan Sheng. He cut off his head with a single blow, and another top-notch general fell in western Liaoning.
The deaths of Fu Ya and Yao Xiang made Fu Jian extremely sad, but he did not forget the purpose of his trip. Soon after the decisive battle began, he prepared to fake defeat and lure the enemy. However, the death of two superb generals in the battle was already a huge blow. It affected the morale of the Qing army, and eventually the false defeat turned into a real defeat.
Under Zhou Yu's pursuit, more than half of Fu Jian's 3,000 elite troops were lost, and only 1,000 of them escaped successfully.
Seeing that the fakery came true, Fu Jian felt sorry for the casualties, but in order to achieve his goal, he had to fake it. Fortunately, he did a good job in this drama and had already attracted Zhou Yu and his main force.
Just when Fu Jian thought the plan was successful, the pursuing Zhou Yu army suddenly stopped moving, as if it had noticed Fu Jian's conspiracy.
Fu Jian was so anxious that he quickly launched his plan in advance and did not care about total annihilation. He would kill as many as he could at this time.
But what Fu Jian didn't expect was that Zhou Yu seemed to have anticipated their plan and set numerous traps for them along the way, which not only greatly delayed the Qing army's advance, but also set up ambushes to ambush them. Cavalry on the rear route.
Zhou Yu ordered Lin Chong, Qin Ming and other generals early to lead an army of eight thousand to set up an ambush on the back road, waiting for Fu Jian's cavalry to arrive.
As expected, after Zhou Yu's main force went north and penetrated into the interior, Fu Pi's 10,000 and Eight Banners cavalry took a detour and ran directly into the ambush circle of Qin Ming and Lin Chong.
Qin Ming and Lin Chong relied on the geographical advantage. As soon as Fu Pi entered the encirclement, they immediately fired thousands of arrows, causing heavy casualties to Fu Pi's army.
Fu Pi did not know the true strength of the Qin army. He thought that the enemy's number was far greater than his own. Seeing that he was ambushed, he decisively led his troops to break out and did not dare to move forward.
After Fu Pi broke through the encirclement, he lightly ordered the army and found that only two thousand cavalry were killed. He couldn't help but call it a luck and quickly led his army to join Fu Jian.
What Fu Pi didn't know was that with his 10,000-eight-banner cavalry fighting strength, even if the Qin navy set up an ambush, he would still be able to break it if he fought to the death, and he could also see through Zhou Yu's lies, but he didn't. Dare, so much so that I missed this opportunity again.
After Fu Jian and Fu Pi reunited, they joined forces to pursue Zhou Yu, but they could not catch up until they reached the seaside. Zhou Yu had already taken the entire army by boat and detoured to Lingzhi County, dozens of miles away, to land again.
After some calculations, Fu Jian not only failed to annihilate Zhou Yu, but also lost 5,000 troops and two superb generals. Naturally, he would not give up.
To make up for yesterday’s guarantee
