- The morning light dews slightly, the rooster crows, and a bright red sun climbs to the top of Sumen Mountain. The wilderness of Hanoi is full of lush scenery, which is intoxicating. But neither the local people nor the merchants who met by chance had time to stop and admire the beautiful scenery.
As we all know, there are hundreds of thousands of troops gathering in Xiaoxiuwu, less than fifty miles southwest of Gongxian County! What's even more frightening is that in the northwest of Gongxian County, also less than a hundred miles away, there is also a fierce battle going on.
Who dares to stay in a place like this when the war is fierce and dangerous?
Actually, this is not the scariest thing. Anyone who is not blind can see large plumes of smoke billowing from the northwest. If the war between heroes is a symbol of troubled times, Hanoi is the first place to be hit by war. The people here have a deep understanding of war. Even the youngest children can tell what the smoke and dust represent!
The large group of people came quickly
The number is at least fifty or sixty thousand
Looking at that speed, this unit is probably composed of pure cavalry!
Although there is only one Taihang Mountain between them, the people of Hanoi are far less tough than their neighbors in Shangdang. They didn't dare to do anything against this menacing army. They didn't even dare to close the city gate. They just prayed tremblingly, hoping that the other party was just passing through, and they were very pressed for time and had no time to enter the city and garrison their horses. Otherwise, they would just Can wait for the disaster to come.
It is useless to close the city gate. Unless it can be defended with certainty, a half-assed defense will only cause trouble. Since the beginning of the war, have there been many examples of offending the leading generals and resulting in the massacre of the city? In Hanoi County alone, five or six cities have been slaughtered, including Huojia City in the lower reaches of Qingshui River!
Because it was very close to Xiaoxiuwu, Huojia was used by General Cao as an outpost for collecting food and stationing troops. Because of the bad reputation of Cao's army, the county magistrate united with the big households in the city who were pro-Qingzhou, closed the city and defended it, refusing to surrender the city, which resulted in disaster.
After that, people from all over Hanoi no longer dared to close the city gates easily, nor did they dare to stand in any line. They only hoped that the winner of this war would be decided quickly and everyone would be in peace.
A small but duty-bound wish seems so far away.
Therefore, when the smoke and dust approached rapidly, everyone's hearts were in their throats; when they found that the army had no intention of stopping and rushed past the official road passing through the city without slowing down, the sighs of relief were even greater. The sound echoed throughout the city.
"This shouldn't be General Cao's soldiers, right? So honest" an older man dressed as a farmer said tremblingly.
"Who knows, they didn't raise the flag. Maybe they were just in a hurry and the city gate was wide open. It didn't bother them. They didn't have time to talk to us, right?" The person who answered the call curled his lips and gave The answer is also ambiguous.
"What do you know? How many soldiers are there? How many horses? The main force of Cao's army is under Xiaoxiuwu City. Why come to Gongxian County for nothing? Or are they coming from the north? Hum, are you stupid? Brother, let me teach you You should be a good boy, these are the soldiers of General Hussar, his old man has returned from Bingzhou, and he is running for Xiao Xiuwu to relieve the siege!"
A middle-aged man in silk robes who spoke like a bandit showed disdain, pointed at the cavalry who were marching in a hurry, and said loudly: "No need for flags! Look at this armor, look at the horse hanging on it, the shoulder The guy on his back, look at the spirit of this soldier, besides the Qingzhou Wind and Fire Cavalry, who else could it be?"
"The Cavalry General is back?" The old man who spoke first opened his eyes wide: "Then this is going to be a big war again, isn't it? God, please don't get us involved."
"Don't worry, now that the Cavalry General is back, who else in the world can be his opponent? This battle, hey, is about to be fought, and the world is about to be at peace!"
Word of mouth spread quickly, and when the cavalry passed through the city, most of the county was in jubilation.
For the people who are suffering in troubled times, it is not the most important thing who is in charge of the world. As long as they can live a peaceful life, it doesn't matter if they work harder. If on this basis, there can be a benevolent king who loves his people like a son, it will really be blessed by God.
The passing cavalry did not pay attention to these good prayers and chants. Everyone was in a hurry, and the most anxious one was Lu Qiling! She took the lead and rushed to the forefront. Chitu was covered in hot sweat, and big beads of sweat plopped down to the ground. The sweat was actually red, which looked shocking.
"Ling'er, slow down, slow down! Rushing is not the answer. If the horses are exhausted by running somewhere, we will not go to save people, but to die." At this time, no one can persuade this You can't catch up with the tough girl even if you try to persuade her, so Wang Yu can onlyDo it yourself.
"Father has been besieged in the isolated city for ten days! Yesterday, the Cao thieves launched a full-scale offensive. Father, father, father" With Lu Qiling's character, it was not easy to see her weak side. Wang Yu saw it. Here, there is only heartache.
He comforted him with gentle words: "It's okay. Yesterday's offensive has been repulsed, hasn't it? At the current speed, we will definitely be able to reach Xiaoxiuwu before noon. My father-in-law is brave and brave, and Xunyi and Wen Chang are helping us. It is so easy to be hurt by Cao Cao. As a general, you must be calm when facing big events. The more times like this, the more calm you must face the enemy. Only in this way can you have a chance of winning."
"But" Lu Qiling managed to stop her sadness, but showed a look of hesitation, "Kong Ming didn't mean that we have too few soldiers and it would be too dangerous to rush the troops. We have to wait until we can contact the remaining soldiers and horses "
Wang Yu handed the reins of the horse to his left hand, waved his right hand, and said with a smile: "Kong Ming has always been cautious, so it's not surprising that he said this. But this time, I don't mean to act on impulse or take risks. It seems that we have few soldiers, but actually , the other way around is almost the same"
Wang Yu deliberately played it off just to divert his wife's attention, and he succeeded.
Lu Qiling blinked in confusion, feeling a little confused.
"But we only broke the news last night, and we didn't even have time to send out the messenger. Except for Wen Ze, I can't figure out where Uncle Zhang and Mr. Wen He are. Are there any other strange soldiers that I don't know about?"
"I'm not a real little heavenly master. I don't have the magic to turn enemies into soldiers. Where can I get the surprise soldiers?" Wang Yu chuckled and replied meaningfully: "Ling'er, don't forget the last order I gave to my husband. What is it?"
"Let everyone fight on their own and take the most beneficial action?"
"That's right." Wang Yu nodded and explained the deeper meaning: "Think about it, if I didn't trust Wen Ze and the others, how could I issue such an order? Similarly, if it weren't for their trust in me, how would the generals do it? Dare you really take matters into your own hands?"
"You mean"
"It's very simple. Although we just entered the country yesterday, the initial war started three days ago. Xiahou Shang and Zang Ba's reinforcements should have also set off two days ago. Wen He and Wen Ze could not bear such a big movement. Count? Even if their information is not well-informed, don¡¯t forget that the prisoners¡¯ confessions said: The Hidden Mist Army was dispersed, and Chief Wen only brought a few dozen personal guards with him when he entered the city."
Lu Qiling¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°Will Lieutenant Li try to report the news?¡±
"I have been following me since my husband raised an army in Mengjin on the 11th. When it comes to knowing my heart, I am afraid he is better than my father and others."
Wang Yu nodded and said confidently: "Don't worry, Eleven will definitely not let me down. The Hidden Mist Army I created will not be easily dispersed. We seem to have few people now. When the war officially begins, Finally, it must be Cao Cao who feels that he is alone!"
Infected by his strong self-confidence, Lu Qiling finally calmed down, nodded vigorously, and slowed down her horse.
¡¡
At this moment, there is less than an hour left before the time limit set by Cao Cao to break the city, but the fierce fighting in the city still shows no sign of stopping. Even if you don't read the battle reports that flowed to the Chinese army, you can still feel the unyielding will and fierce fighting power of the defenders from the fierce fighting sounds and bursts of war trumpets.
"Gong Cao is the great general of the current dynasty. He serves as the emperor to command the princes. He is the place where the world is upright and everyone hopes to return! Brothers of the Bingzhou Army, you have been trapped in the isolated city for more than ten days, but not a single soldier came to rescue you. It can be seen that rebellion is always rebellion. , only care about themselves and don¡¯t care about the life and death of the Allies, why must we die for them? Why not surrender as soon as possible, surrender as soon as possible!"
In fact, both goals set by Cao Cao failed to be achieved.
Although there was a chaotic battle in the city, most of the defenders did not care about guarding the city wall. However, when the chaos broke out, Cao Xing and Cheng Lian were patrolling the south and east gates respectively. Under the leadership of these two men, hundreds of defenders united as one and resisted the superior enemy's internal and external attacks for more than two hours!
"Surrender, grandma! There are only beheaded generals here, not kowtow turtles!" Faced with requests for surrender from all directions, Cheng Lian cursed and slashed with his sword: "Hou Cheng, you despicable villain, if you have the ability, stand in front of grandpa. Come and see if grandpa doesn¡¯t chop you with a thousand swords!¡±
"Cheng Lian, look whose flag that is? It's the tiger idiot Xu Zhongkang, who is as famous as General Dian! You are about to die. No matter how stubborn you are, it will be difficult to leave a whole body." Seeing Cheng Lian kill He was covered in blood and looked like a crazy tiger. How could Hou Cheng dare to go up and attack him? He just hid in the crowd from a distance and shouted.
"I will support you even if I die!" A veteran like Cheng Lian would never forget to observe the battlefield during a fierce battle. He did not need Hou Cheng to remind him that he had seen it.
An extraordinary team is separating from the turbulent waves of the siege army. The leader is a burly man who is not inferior to the lord, followed by about three hundred people with weapons and armors. Distinctive guy. All of them were tall and full of murderous looks.
As early as when Lu Bu and Cao Cao were fighting for Dongjun, Cheng Lian had heard that Cao Cao had a Su Guard army, which was composed of knights and strangers recruited from various places with huge sums of money. These people are used to freedom and are not very adaptable to obeying military orders, so they rarely go into battle. Their main task is to protect Cao Cao. Their leader is the famous tiger fool Xu Chu.
Of course Cheng Lian will not underestimate his opponent.
If we fight in an array, these hundreds of strangers will not be of much use, and they may not even be as good as ordinary heavy armored infantry. But now this scene is suitable for them to perform.
Xu Chu came towards the east city gate, and beside him Cheng Lian looked around and found that of the hundreds of good brothers before the war, only about thirty people were still standing. As for those who could wield weapons ¡He had no intention of counting anymore.
"I wonder how Chengming is doing." Cheng Lian raised his head and looked towards the city in the distance. Cao Xing was in a similar situation to himself, but Cao Xing's commanding ability was stronger, and he was not facing the main force of Cao's army, so his performance should be better than his own.
Cheng Lian saw that the enemy's ladder was erected again, blocking the city wall. Countless soldiers of Cao Cao climbed up the ladder like ants and slowly moved upward. The defenders' cold arrows and rocks kept hitting down, knocking the fastest man to dust. He vaguely saw the figure of the old man. The big bow was opening and closing continuously, killing the most threatening enemies one by one.
"What are they fighting for?" Cheng Lian suddenly felt that the enemy's behavior was ridiculous. As if racing towards a dead end. It is said that the same is true for ants moving house. As long as the leader ant crawls forward, other ants will not be afraid even if there is a frying pan in front of them. This absurd thought that suddenly came to him distracted him, and he was almost hit in the face by a stream of arrows.
"What does he care about? I have to take the first step, haha!" Cheng Lian suddenly laughed and flattened the long stick in his hand. This long branch has been immersed in him for more than 20 years, and he has been practicing it since he started his career.
My father said that the real ability is the skill of bowing and riding horses. When a man is doing things, he doesn¡¯t need to think about anything else. As long as he is proficient in riding horses, he will not worry about getting fame. The meaning of this seems to be similar to that of my uncle's poem. What does that poem say? Well, fame can only come from horses, Fang is a hero and a husband! What a wonderful poem. I wonder if a dead man of fame can be considered a heroic husband?
Cheng Lian was a little confused, but it was only for a moment. His eyes regained clarity and he laughed loudly.
"Boys from Wuyuan, follow me!" Laughing and looking ferocious, Cheng Lian pointed the long spear in his hand forward. In the direction he pointed, a wretched figure was running around in the crowd.
¡¡
Feather arrows fell from the sky like hailstones, creating patches of blood mist in the narrow streets. There were living people, corpses, defenders, and Cao Jun lying on the ground, but all of them were covered with spikes, and signs of life quickly disappeared.
Obviously, the archers had no intention of distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy. They simply covered the area with arrows and turned the entire area into a death zone!
An armored infantryman of Cao¡¯s army was obviously not completely exhausted. He raised his head with difficulty in the hail from hell and crawled forward inch by inch, dragging a long trail of blood behind him.
He still has the will to fight to the death, and he can be considered a hero after all, but he doesn't care about the arrows that fall from the sky. There is no pity or admiration. They just fall mercilessly and hit his armor, until finally there is a handful of fine arrows. The nail leaf penetrates!
"Cao Cao is crazy!" Gao Shun wiped his face. His hands were covered with blood, but his face was still so sticky that it was difficult to open his eyes. He didn't know how many wounds he had on his body. He only knew that he could continue to fight, but I'm afraid it wouldn't be too long.
Relying on the geographical advantage, the trapped camp has been clinging to Xiahou Dun's main force. The fierce fighting of Cao Xing and Cheng Lian also prevented the main force of Cao's army from taking advantage of the favorable terrain. This is the reason why the defenders can persist until now.
But Xiahou Dun was obviously driven into panic, and he directly launched an indiscriminate covering attack. The trapped camp is a light infantry force. It relies on skilled skills and coordination to be very powerful in close combat, but its own defensive power is not high. This move of Cao Jun's army was killed together, and it hit the key point of the trapped camp.
The previous battle losses were still within the tolerable range, but from now on, they may be multiplied.
"He won't go crazy for no reason. Maybe reinforcements will arrive soon." Wei Yan's situation is worse than Gao Shun's. The latter's strength lies in command, but Wei Yan has always been at the forefront and can sustain it until now.Damn, I'm lucky enough. This guy is naturally optimistic, and yet he can still laugh when he sees the end of his road.
"Yeah." His optimism failed to affect Gao Shun. The latter was a very rational person. At this point in the war, it didn't make much difference if the reinforcements didn't arrive. If reinforcements come, I will fight until my last breath. If reinforcements don't come, I will still have to recruit enough people to back me up.
Wei Yan wanted to say something else, but suddenly he heard loud cheers from the direction of the east city gate. When he looked up, he saw Cheng Lian's flag being chopped down. A burly general was holding a knife in one hand and his head in the other, shouting loudly. What are you talking about, to boost morale. Behind him, countless crossbowmen were scaling the city wall, bows and arrows drawn!
"Chengzi is already" Wei Yan felt sour in his heart. He knew that this would happen sooner or later. Cheng Lian's hundreds of people were not made of iron. It was a miracle that they could persist for more than two hours, but he still couldn't help feeling sad.
"We can't defend here anymore. Go to the north gate and meet up with the lord and Chengming. We may die together!" Gao Shun said decisively.
"Let's go!" Wei Yan did not hesitate, shouted loudly, and walked away with the knife, creating a gap in the dense armor formation. Behind him, Gao Shun attacked Wei Yan with his sword and swung his hook to fend off all the weapons attacking Wei Yan from the flanks and from behind.
Cao¡¯s soldiers who boarded the east and west gates began to surge from the horse wall to the north gate. Cao¡¯s troops in the city also chased Wei Yan and Gao Shun towards the north gate. This tragic siege finally came to an end.
Cao Cao¡¯s face softened slightly and he murmured to himself: ¡°I should have saved my time, but the losses in this battle¡±
Some of the staff surrounding him heard it, some didn't, but no one responded. In order to deal with Lu Bu's thousands of soldiers and horses, nearly 20% of the 80,000-strong army was killed or injured, and there was still internal support. If there had been no internal support What's even worse is that this battle is not over yet!
"However, it is a good thing to be able to deal with Lu Bu like this. He was so fierce after falling into the trap. How can he still do it in a head-on confrontation?" Liu Ziyang's defeat in Xiangyi was indeed unjust. 30,000 Huainan soldiers were defeated in one blow against such tiger and wolf soldiers. Is it strange?
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Obviously, you can't say these words in front of the Lord, it is asking for trouble, so you can't accept these words.
What¡¯s more, it¡¯s a matter of debate whether we grabbed this time or not. Xiahou Boren and Zang Xuangao were gone for two and a half days. They were supposed to report back once a day, but since yesterday, the news has been cut off. Who can guarantee that there will be no accidents?
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance!
Cao Cao and his staff were stunned for a moment, thinking they had heard wrongly, and turned their heads to look around almost at the same time. Under the red sun in the sky, they saw a knight in ragged clothes and armor!
"Lord"
"Bo Ren, where are your soldiers and horses? Where are Xuan Gao, Gongda and the others" Cao Cao's voice could not suppress a vibrato. The man who described the embarrassment was actually Xia Houshang. What does this mean? No one can compare with him. He knew better.
"The general is incompetent and deserves death. He failed to defend the mountain pass and was used by the king's thieves to smoke" Listening to Xia Houshang's account, Cao Cao suddenly felt that the sunlight had become extremely dazzling, making him dizzy. blackened.
"In order to let the last general escape and report the news, General Xuan Gao fought tooth and nail to cut off the rear and disappeared in the formation. Mr. Gongda and General Sui disappeared without a trace. I'm afraid it's also a bad thing"
"Then why do you have the nerve to come back!" Cao Cao suddenly flew up and kicked his nephew in the heart, knocking him over.
"The last general deserves to die, the last general deserves to die" Xia Houshang endured the pain, rolled over and knelt down, and cried loudly: "The last general is left with this life, just because he is worried that the master will be unprepared and be taken advantage of by the king's thief. , Qingzhou soldiers and horses are also coming at the same time, I am afraid that they will arrive in an instant, and the final general will not be able to sharpen his troops first, and fight to the death with the king's thief!"
"Lord, calm down, the most important thing now is to prepare the army for war!" Guo Jia took the lead and all the staff agreed.
"That's all." Cao Cao looked up to the sky and cried out sadly: "Is the sky going to destroy me? Is the sky going to destroy me!" Before anyone could persuade him again, his tone became firm: "My destiny is up to me, not to the sky. If heaven wants to destroy me, I will rebel against heaven! Pass on my general order to rectify"
"Report" Before he could finish his sentence, another fast horse galloped from the south in the distance. The messenger on the horse was waving the command flag from a distance and shouting hoarsely.
"" Everyone, including Cao Cao, who was vowing to defy heaven, was stunned. The urgent report at this time could not be a good thing. Wang Yu is already here. The only thing worse than this is
"My lord, something bad has happened! Just yesterday, Fengqiu's Yulin army suddenly marched westward and launched a fierce attack on Yangwucheng! The eldest son was caught off guard, and the soldiers and horses under his command were not good at fighting. Yangwu changed hands in half a day, The eldest son was not among the rebels. The Yulin army did not waste any time and marched straight in, heading straight for Biankou.??! "
There was a buzzing sound in Cao Cao's ears and he couldn't hear anything.
In order to contain the ban, he left behind his eldest son Cao Ang and 30,000 old and weak people. I originally thought that Yu Jin had no decision to make, and would stick to Fengqiu until there was definite news, so that he could easily hide the truth. Who would have thought that he was wrong. Yu Jin not only took the initiative to launch a large-scale attack, but also took subsequent actions so decisively that it was as if he had changed someone, not Yu Jin, but Xu Huang or Taishi Ci.
Biankou is opposite the mouth of Qinshui River, and is the nearest large ferry to Xiuwu. Yu Jinben came here, not only to assist, but also to cut off Cao Jun's retreat.
Having lost a son, coupled with such bad news, no matter how strong Cao Cao's ability is, he is still on the verge of collapse.
"Report"
"Blessings come in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone. Before he could inquire in detail, another fast horse came from the east.
"" The generals of Cao's army were already numb, feeling that there could be no bad news that could bring them more blows. But when the messenger arrived and breathlessly reported the military situation, everyone's hearts suddenly sank again.
"Lord, something bad is going on! Yesterday morning, a troop of troops came out of Chaoge and headed straight for Xiuwu. They were flying the flags of Jia Xu and Guan Ping! Along with them came navy troops and ships. There are so many that the sails cover the sky and the sun, almost cutting off the entire river! General Li is expected to be unable to defeat them, so he can only fight and retreat. Please take precautions, my lord!"
Besieged on all sides
The only thought that came to Cao Cao's mind was this. Wang Yu came from the north, Yu Jin came from the south, Jia Xu came from the east, and together with the main force of the Yellow River navy in Qingzhou, Lu Bu in the city also led the remaining soldiers to fight in a bloody battle let alone fighting, even retreat was a problem!
"Hehe, hehehe" Cao Cao's sudden and strange laughter frightened everyone. They only thought in their hearts, is the lord so angry that he is so angry that he has lost his mind and gone crazy?
"Those who judge others will always judge them. The ancients are sincere and I will not deceive them." Of course Cao Cao was not crazy. If his mental quality were so poor, he would not be Cao Cao: "At this point, there is no other way but to risk death. Young people, fight to the death! Before the Qingzhou soldiers and horses form an encirclement, defeat them one by one!"
"I am willing to fight to the death!" The courage of the generals. Although he was besieged on all sides, Cao Cao's fighting spirit still existed, and the generals would not become timid before fighting. Lu Bu was able to fight to the end in such a bad situation. How could his heroic figure be inferior to that of a warrior? What's more, as the Lord said, there may not be a chance of winning this battle! (To be continued.
