Chapter 194: Breaking through the Eastern Commandery

"Okay, now that we've come to Dongjun, let's hurry through this county and go to South Korea for support!" Pulling the horse's reins, Zhong Yu turned his head and said to Cao Cao, then slapped his whip and rushed forward go.

Following Zhong Yu's first ride, hundreds of thousands of troops followed behind, billowing smoke and dust filled the air, covering hundreds of miles around.

In a small county town more than a dozen miles away, people in the city were in a state of panic at this time, and every household closed their doors, but the soldiers of the Qin Army walking up and down the streets, all of them had serious faces and solemn hearts.

"Master County Magistrate, the 200,000 troops outside the city are coming soon, what should we do?" the county magistrate next to him asked his supervisor, the head of the county magistrate.

"What can I do? Just stick to it. As the county magistrate of this city, it is right to stick to the city to repay Qin's great kindness to me!" The county magistrate looked serious, although his face was a little pale, and his body trembled a little. , but said firmly.

"But, is that the 20th army?" The county magistrate beside him was extremely frightened.

"So what? It is the duty of a courtier to be loyal to one's duty! Where is the county lieutenant? Quickly gather all the soldiers in the city, all of them rush to the city wall, and defend the city to the death!" He stared fiercely at the deputy next to him, the county magistrate He ordered loudly to the county lieutenant next to him.

"Yes, magistrate! There are now 1,000 guards in the city, and all of them have climbed up to the city wall, and they swear to live and die with the city!" The county lieutenant next to him looked serious, gave a neat military salute, and replied to the county magistrate.

"That's good, that's right, go and mobilize the people in the city, and mobilize all the strong men to me, and they will rush to the top of the city one after another. The achievements are about to be broken. How can they be safe for a while!" The county magistrate's face turned hard , but ordered to the county lieutenant beside him.

Anyway, under the attack of 200,000 troops, this city cannot be defended. Instead of keeping these untouchables to serve the enemy country and pay taxes, it is better to let them die in battle, and it will be much better.

"Yes, I'm going to take action now, and immediately send my personal guards to search from house to house, and I'm sure not to miss a man!" Famous, naturally there will be no sympathy.

However, just as these people were rushing to and fro, living and dying with the city, and serving the state of Qin, the 200,000 troops outside the city simply ignored them, like a river hitting a rock, and separated from the middle , ran to the side.

"Well, don't they want this city?" On the top of the city, the county magistrate who was looking nervously at the cavalry outside the city was surprised.

"It looks like it is, my lord!" The county magistrate next to him looked surprised and nodded repeatedly.

"In that case, the city has been defended, so you and I don't have to die?" The county magistrate still didn't believe it. He was already prepared to die for his country, and he escaped so easily.

"Yes, my lord, we can live on, we don't need to die!" The county lieutenant next to him was also pleasantly surprised. Although his loyalty to the empire was unquestionable, it was still a pleasant surprise to be able to live.

...

In this way, 200,000 cavalry, passing through the cities and counties all the way, detoured from the side, regardless of them, the goal went straight to Xinzheng City.

However, it has not all been smooth sailing.

On the way, under the city of PY, the capital of Dongjun County, was blocked by the defenders of Qin State.

Dongjun is located on a plain, stretching as far as the eye can see, it is a good place to let your horse run wild.

Except for those heavy cities that can be guarded on the road, there are no dangers. If the Qin army wanted to stop them, they could only leave the city.

Dongjun has 50,000 defenders, but this time they left the city with a total of 30,000. These 30,000 people are used to stop the 20th army. Naturally, they are trying to stop the car with their arms, and they are overwhelmed.

Therefore, these 30,000 people set up layers of obstacles on the main roads that must pass through the official road, and established preliminary fortifications in an attempt to block the attack of the royal cavalry.

These fortifications, although they were first built, are nothing to the army, but it is extremely time-consuming to clean them up.

And if you make a detour, it will also take time.

But now, for the imperial cavalry, the most wasteful thing is also time.

South Korea is at stake, how can we waste time to clear these obstacles on the way? Since the survival of South Korea is at stake!

Therefore, for the 30,000 people who were overwhelmed, the angry Zhong Yu directly sent a large number of cavalry to divide and outflank them, strangling them as much as possible.

The reason why these soldiers were able to build these fortifications was due to a surprise.

Now that they are on guard, they still want to escape to the rear and continue to deploy defenses, which is completely an extravagant hope.

They just couldn't get over these obstacles, and when they wanted to retreat to the rear and couldn't get down, they were bumped into by the imperial cavalry who detoured from other directions.

The barricades on the main road are used to stop the 200,000 cavalry, which is naturally extremely useful. After all, whether these 200,000 people want to turn around or pass, it is extremely time-consuming.

But the small group of cavalry, thousands of people, was not among them.

These small groups of cavalry passed these obstacles and pursued forward. The rest of the brigade of cavalry began to hurry up and clear the roadblocks.

The army started their work in an orderly manner, and the strict training of the imperial army was revealed at this moment.

However, not all armies are like this. The cavalry joined by the Huns all looked decadent, and their mouths were even more noisy and full of resentment.

However, these people looked at the royal army around them who were all dressed up and looked solemn.

He wisely kept his resentment in his heart, even though he wished to kill these people, he still didn't dare to show it. The fighting power of the imperial army was deeply engraved in their hearts when they conquered their tribe .

In a short time, about two or three hours, these East County defenders changed the roadblocks they had arranged for two or three days, and with the joint efforts of more than a hundred thousand people, they were quickly cleared.

And Zhong Yu's army set out again.

In front of the army, the 5,000 cavalry who went ahead were having a handover with the 30,000 Dongjun blocking troops they encountered.

Because they are cavalry, and they have the advantage of surprise attacks, and their equipment is relatively sophisticated, so the 30,000 Qin troops with low morale were quickly broken through the formation and smashed to pieces.

After a fierce fight, 30,000 Qin soldiers left more than 10,000 corpses, and all the rest fled in all directions.

And these 5,000 pioneers also left behind his more than 3,000 corpses.
