Yongzhen's three-year offensive and defensive battle in Changzhou lasted only ten days.
On the night of the tenth day, Changzhou suddenly turned into an attack.
Junzi Qi, who hurried to Changzhou City, adopted the tactics of suspicious soldiers, and the Chuanyun Army, which had only more than 2,000 people, put on the scarecrow on the spare war horse, put on the armor, tied a wooden stick and a wooden gun on the scarecrow, and planted hundreds of flags.
At first glance in the night, it seemed that there were six or seven thousand people.
Li Ruyu's 4,000 men, plus the light cavalry of the Chuanyun Army, took advantage of the night to kill the Zhulu Army in a panic, and when the battle losses increased step by step, soon, the Chinese army of the Zhulu Army began to collapse.
Historically, the victory and defeat were not determined when one side was killed, and generally speaking, when the casualty rate reached 30%, ordinary armies would begin to break up.
When the casualty rate reaches forty percent, the average elite army will begin to crumble.
If the casualty rate reaches 50%, even the most elite army will collapse.
The casualty rate of sixty percent or even more will only be found in the encirclement battle, in the battle of Changping between Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo, more than half of the casualties of Bai Qi's army were accumulated.
And Zhao Kuo's army of 400,000 did not have a high casualty rate, but in the end the army collapsed and surrendered.
That's it.
In the encirclement battle, if you can't break through, there are only two possibilities: surrender or be completely annihilated.
And in a battle like tonight, which is changed to a decisive battle after a frontal breakthrough, when the death rate reaches 30%, the morale of the Deer Chasing Army begins to collapse - after all, the unknown night makes people not know how many reinforcements the enemy still has, and it is easier to increase the fear of the Deer Chasing Army.
In normal times, without a forty percent casualty rate, the Zhulu Army would definitely not break up.
What's more, the 25,000 Zhulu army was besieging the city on all sides, and Li Ruyu's 4,000 troops out of the west gate of Changzhou and the Chuanyun army of Junziqi collided from the north of the left flank, and happened to collide with the Chinese army.
The other three sides are not in time.
The tide is over.
Zhao Kuo had to lead part of his troops and horses to retreat.
But he never thought that Li Ruyu would lead two hundred light horsemen to bite behind Zhao Kuo.
No matter what, you can't get rid of it.
When the Changzhou side began to clean up the mess, a pursuit battle was launched between Changzhou and Pukang Town......
Zhao Kuo fled in panic like a lost dog, and Li Ruyu completely abandoned the truth that the poor Kou Mo chased and chased after him.
But how did Zhao Kuo know that Li Ruyu only had two hundred people and dared to chase him to the death, and the wind and trees were all soldiers in the night, and the sound of hundreds of iron horsemen knocked on his heart like thunder.
He just wanted to retreat to Pukang Town and regroup his troops.
He will not be convinced.
This time he lost to Bai Qi, not because he was inferior to Bai Qi, but because of the thousands of cloud-piercing troops that suddenly appeared, he was caught off guard, and he didn't count that Changzhou City was waiting for reinforcements.
Could it be that Li Su of Yongchuan and Li Pingyang of Bishan ate, why did they let the reinforcements of the forbidden army arrive in Changzhou unknowingly?
And the scouts who were released by themselves didn't send back a trace of news?
Zhao Kuo was unwilling.
But he had to face the fact that he was chased by Bai Qi like a lost dog.
However, as long as you arrive in Pukang Town, you still have a chance.
When the routed Zhulu Army returns to Pukang Town, waiting for those soldiers who have returned from the breakout, after regrouping, there should be more than 10,000 people, enough to fight Bai Qi again.
Zhao Kuo will never admit defeat.
But Zhao Kuo had to admit that on this night, he remembered the fear of being dominated by Bai Qi in Changping back then.
Lingering.
However, in the dark night behind him, the iron hooves were like thunder, and the cold light shone on the iron clothes.
The sound of horses' hooves clattered together like thunder on the earth, awakening the sleeping earth from the darkness of the night, and countless birds fluttering their wings from the woods.
In the dark night, two fire dragons one after the other.
The Zhulu army originally came to siege the city, and there were only 1,000 cavalry in the army.
It's just that before the thousand cavalry could form a formation, they were chiseled to pieces by the Cloud Piercing Army, and after losing about 200 people in battle, they quickly broke up in the night, unable to stop the Cloud Piercing Army from crashing into the infantry formation.
When Zhao Kuo retreated, the scattered light cavalry gathered together as soon as possible, and withdrew to Pukang Town with the main general, plus some other low-level generals and henchmen cavalry.
Behind Zhao Kuo, there were still a thousand people.
These thousand people are all cavalry, otherwise how could they escape the bite of the Piercing Cloud Army, but at this moment, they were chased by two hundred people and lost their armor, and everyone hated how the war horse under their feet was only four legs.
Zhao Kuo hated.
After all, Bai Qi's troops were 650,000, and he was only more than 400,000.

This time, he surrounded Bai Qi with an absolutely superior force, why did he still end up in such an embarrassment?
Ahead, a long fire dragon suddenly appeared in the night, on the road, suddenly there were two cavalry cavalry turned around and ran, looking at its system, it should be the Western Army foot soldiers escorting heavy grain and grass to Changzhou.
Zhao Kuo was overjoyed and shouted: "I am Zhao Kuo, the commander of the Zhulu Army!"
” More than 1,000 infantry soldiers of the Western Army, who were responsible for escorting grain and grass, were taken aback when the generals learned the news that Zhao Kuo's army had been defeated and appeared in front, and ordered the infantry to line up without thinking.
When the sky was slightly bright, Zhao Kuo converged on the thousand steps.
Finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking back at the pursuing cavalry, he was overjoyed.
God help me!
Bai Qi, Bai Qi, you really think that Zhao Kuo is fish and meat, and he dared to bring such a light horse to chase - and then he blushed a little, and he was chased by one or two hundred cavalry soldiers for most of the night.
Shameful.
This is more humiliating than being besieged in Changping for 46 days and not being able to kill the siege.
Zhao Kuo ordered the cavalry to line up and the foot soldiers to escort the formation.
In such a situation, if Li Ruyu dared to turn around and retreat, then he would lead a light cavalry to pursue, so that Bai Qi in Li Ruyu's body could also enjoy the shame of a lost dog.
If Li Ruyu did not retreat, two hundred iron cavalry would crash into the hundreds of light cavalry, and there would be a thousand foot guards who would inevitably be smashed to pieces.
Zhao Kuo drew his sword.
He was waiting, waiting for Li Ruyu to turn around and retreat, or waiting for Li Ruyu's light cavalry to be wiped out.
How will Li Ruyu choose?
No choice!
There was only one way, and that was to use two hundred cavalry to break through the enemy's formation of hundreds of light cavalry.
In an instant, the war horse neighed, the flesh collided, and the sword clanged.
Two hundred light horsemen were like an ice arrow, shot into a sea of fire, and continued to advance and dissolve, but the enemy army only had a few hundred light horsemen after all.
Crashed through!
Behind Li Ruyu, there were only fifty light horsemen left.
But he saw Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo also saw Li Ruyu, and even clearly saw the indifferent killing intent in Li Ruyu's eyes, Zhao Kuo was a little incredulous, the formation of hundreds of cavalry troops was chiseled through so easily?
When he saw Li Ruyu's long sword pointing at him, Zhao Kuo panicked.
Once again, I was dominated by the fears of the past.
Cowering and retreating into the infantry army, he shouted hysterically: "Whoever can stop the enemy army will be rewarded heavily, and whoever takes off the head of the enemy general will be promoted to a general!"
” People die for money, birds die for food, and forget.
The two or three hundred soldiers closest to Zhao Kuo stepped forward one after another.
But these are just light horsemen escorting food and grass and baggage, how can they stop the cavalry from charging......
Even if there were only fifty people, it was a cavalry army, unstoppable.
The man flipped on his back, and the ice arrows that split the layers of waves continued to melt.
When Li Ruyu rushed in front of Zhao Kuo with one horse, the fifty cavalry behind him were all besieged and in a desperate situation.
Li Ruyu took out his sword.
A sword hung out an ink pool, and then the ink pool poured into thousands of sword rain, after the sword rain, there was no living person within a radius of fifty meters beside Zhao Kuo.
Li Ruyu rode over, knocked Zhao Kuo out of his horse with a sword, and immediately grabbed the placket of the goods, turned around and ran.
At this moment, the two hundred light horsemen of the Cloud Piercing Army were all dead.
Only Li Ruyu remains.
But the surviving cavalry and foot soldiers of the Western Army have been killed, and after more than ten people tried to save Zhao Kuo in front of Li Ruyu, they were killed by Li Ruyu's merciless sword, and no one moved forward.
After all, people are still afraid of death.
Hundreds of people just watched as they rode away.
They immediately looked at each other.
What kind of situation, it comes and goes quickly, many people don't know what happened, Zhao Kuo, the commander of the Zhulu Army, was strongly hit by the young general and captured alive in the army of thousands of people?
Even Yue Pingchuan, who was at the peak of the year, couldn't do it!

…… …… The war in Changzhou ended.
It was the battle of the night, and there were only 600 of the 4,000 defenders in Changzhou, more than 2,000 people in the Chuanyun army, and 1,600.
The damage was horrifying.
But the Zhulu army was even worse, the 10,000 Chinese army was almost defeated, and more than 3,000 people died just by the Chuanyun army for a while, and then they were killed by 4,000 defenders of Changzhou City, and there was not much left of 10,000 people.
In the end, a total of 15,000 people from the east, south, and north of the company rushed to reinforce them, and hundreds of corpses were left behind.
Although there is a superiority in strength, I don't know how many enemy troops there are in the dark night, and the light cavalry deterrence of the Cloud Piercing Army is too great, and the main general Zhao Kuo has withdrawn, and the others are still waiting for others to invite you into the city for tea?
So they withdrew from different directions to the town of Pukang.
Junziqi didn't dare to chase it, he didn't have the confidence of Li Ruyu, after all, there were more than 10,000 people in the deer army.
The war in Changzhou, the forbidden army won a great victory. not only defended Changzhou City, but also punished the enemy more than doubled, and at noon, when Li Ruyu returned from riding, he brought back the people who made the eyes of the six hundred Changzhou warriors crack.
Zhao Kuo was captured alive!
On the school field in Changzhou City, Zhao Kuo was thrown on the ground, woke up slowly, only to feel a splitting headache, and vaguely remembered that he seemed to have woken up several times after being captured alive, and every time he woke up and was knocked unconscious.
Alive?
Zhao Kuo suddenly turned over and sat up, looked around, and suddenly sank to the bottom of the sea.
Around the school grounds, there were more than a dozen wounded Heavenly Counselors, each of whom looked at himself with the same fierce eyes as a beast when he saw his prey.
Looking at Li Ruyu, who rushed to hear the news, Zhao Kuo suddenly stopped being afraid, and laughed a little self-deprecatingly, he is a human being in two lives, and he is not an opponent in vain after all.
Asked, "Are you Li Ruyu, or is he?"
” Li Ruyu looked at the poor stranger with his hands, shook his head and sighed: "It was I, Li Ruyu, who captured you back to Changzhou, and he came up with the 'mourning plan' to break your army."
After a pause, "So you still lost to him." ” Zhao Kuo was surprised, "Mourning soldiers?
” Among the military books I read, there doesn't seem to be such a plan.
Li Ruyu waved his hand, asked the soldiers on the left and right to retreat, and then whispered a word, after Zhao Kuo heard it, he was shocked and admired, and sighed with extremely complicated emotions: "It is said that he loves soldiers like sons and uses soldiers like mud, and sure enough." ” In the Battle of Changping that year, in order to break our 400,000 army as soon as possible, the casualty rate of Bai Qi's army was extremely high, even higher than the casualty rate of his own army.
In the first battle of Changzhou, he was able to even use such a method as eating his flesh and blood.
This is an extreme manifestation of the use of soldiers.
I was convinced.
Immediately, he laughed proudly, "At least I forced him to do this!"
” In the Battle of Changping that year, Bai Qi cut off his own grain route and was besieged for forty-six days, and the sergeants and soldiers of the army killed each other for food, which was a shame for the soldiers, and now Bai Qi has also done it.
No loss!
Li Ruyu looked at him pitifully, and said softly for a long time: "You seem to have forgotten a common sense, if it is mule meat, horse meat, and beef as long as it is left for a long time, it will also be sour." ” Zhao Kuo's laughter came to an abrupt end.
The lost soul said that it was not human flesh, and you even lied to your own soldiers......
The only bit of pride was completely shattered after Li Ruyu told the truth.
Li Ruyu gently pressed the long sword on his waist, "You are the Zhao family, although it is cold, but I think there are probably still children of the Zhao family in Lin'an who intercede for you, such as your father Zhao Lin, do you say that Her Majesty the Empress will give him face?"
” "Maybe you live, and when Zhao Zhen ascends the throne as emperor in the future, you will be able to make a comeback again."
In Zhao Kuo's heart, this sentence aroused the desire to survive.
Unexpectedly, Li Ruyu's face sank, "But the eight thousand robes that came with you in Bishan County are now only six hundred, and if you want to live, you have to ask the seven thousand four hundred martyrs who were betrayed by you if they agree, and you have to ask the six hundred strong men if they agree." ” "So, I don't think you have a chance."
On the Lin'an side, whether anyone wants Zhao Kuo to live, or whether the empress wants to let Zhao Kuo live or not, it doesn't matter, because he doesn't allow it, and the eight thousand heavenly strategists don't allow it.
Zhao Kuo must die.
But before he died, there was one more thing to tell him.
Li Ruyu stepped forward and looked down at Zhao Kuo strongly, "Bai Qi, let me tell you." ” Zhao Kuo raised his head dejectedly, and couldn't help but look elsewhere, and asked in despair, "What did he say?"
” Li Ruyu said word by word: "On the way of soldiers, you are just a scumbag." ” This sentence is vulgar.
But it was the exact words of the armored general.
Zhao Kuo was stunned, and then laughed lightly, without the slightest emotional smile, it turned out that he was so slight in Bai Qi's eyes, but he couldn't refute it.
Two battles, both defeated.
At this moment, Zhao Kuo no longer has the slightest desire to survive.
That's all.
If there is another life, I will not see it again, and I will never hear that nightmarish name again.
Li Ruyu turned around and waved his hand.

Around the school field, hundreds of people suddenly emerged, all of whom were brought by Zhao Kuo from Bishan County, and the remaining six hundred heavenly strategists did not rush forward, Zhuo Zongtang was the first to step forward, looked at Zhao Kuo ruthlessly, and then pulled out his knife and cut down.
Blood splattered.
Zhao Kuo didn't move, and he didn't make a sound.
Zhuo Zongtang spat at Zhao Kuo and turned to let the other robes.
One knife per person, one spit.
Six hundred dollars.
From Zhuo Zongtang's first knife to the knife before his death, from beginning to end, Zhao Kuo did not make even a single sound.
The corpses are like mud.
