Han Shimou

Chapter 83 Preparations for defending the city

After Wen Han finished speaking, he and Gao Shun looked at each other for a long time.After a long time, Gao Shun said.

"Wen Sima, are you going to fight this Qianghu man for the last moment?"

Gao Shun thought that Wen Han made a desperate determination to defend Linhe City.

"No, General Gao, you are wrong. The life of each of us is unique and unparalleled in the world. I cherish my own life, and even more so the lives of those under my command. I am afraid that I will not be able to support the governor. When the reinforcements arrive, Linhe City will be destroyed. At that time, we want to withdraw our troops, but because the people in the city are still there, we are afraid. If we let the people leave now, we can feel at ease if we withdraw our troops at that time.

Moreover, the Qianghu people were attacked by me just now, and my black wind rider set a fire in the Qianghu people's camp, and now the Qianghu people must still be cleaning up the mess.Taking advantage of the darkness now, it can just cover the people to leave.There are still three or four hours before dawn, and by tomorrow morning, these [-] people should have left almost as well. "

Gao Shun listened carefully, and Shi Li agreed after Wen Han finished speaking.

"Wen Sima is right, I will give orders now!"

"Good! I will also ask the soldiers to cooperate. Also, you suggest that the people try to lighten their luggage as much as possible, and just take some gold and silver treasures to leave. If some heavy belongings are difficult to carry, let them stay. After all, the property is not Life is still the most important thing. Besides, we will not abandon the city easily before the critical moment of life and death. If this time, we can wait for the rescue troops sent by Ding Shishi to repel this Qianghu army, it may not be impossible. "

Hearing Wen Han's orderly arrangements, Gao Shun admired him in his heart. After Wen Han finished his orders, Gao Shun ordered his soldiers to go door to door and order the people to pack their bags. Guan Yu and Xu Huang were also called by Wen Han. Let him lead his own army to assist Gao Shun.

At first, many people were reluctant to leave.However, Gao Shun has guarded Linhe County for many days, and he is close to the people and protects the people, so he is deeply loved by the people of Linhe.Gao Shun patiently explained the reason, and later Wen Han also came to persuade them. When the people heard that Wen Han was the Wen champion in Xiudu, they immediately felt relieved, and their resistance was much less. The direction of people is near the South Gate.

The soldiers under Wen Han's army and Gaoshun's army carried the luggage for the people and kept order, all the way to the gate of the city.Most of the people left towards neighboring counties such as Xiudu or Hudao.There are quite a few cities in these two counties, which are more than enough to accommodate the 6000 people.

Wen Han's army and Gao Shun's army were busy all night, and Gao Shun's army was physically and mentally exhausted because Gao Shun's army had guarded the city for several days.At the last moment, Wen Han couldn't stand it any longer. Wen Han insisted on letting Gao Shun take his soldiers down to rest. The soldiers went down to rest.

"Champion. I heard from the Xiudu people that you are a god-man sent by the world, and you can kill Qianghu people with one finger. You must protect this Linhe City well. There is also an old man who lives on the south side of the city. There are ten households in the alley. There are two old cows and five chickens at home. The old man has been raising these poultry for a long time, but he is reluctant to eat them. I will give them to the champion. You have to behave well, and don’t disappoint the old man’s heart."

The last one to leave was a white-haired old man who was over sixty years old. He held Wen Han's palm tightly with his wrinkled hands like chicken bones, and spoke slowly.There is a lot of reluctance in a pair of cloudy old eyes.Wen Han nodded and smiled at the old man.

When the old man saw Wen Han smiling, he smiled too. His mouth was wide open, with only five or six teeth, but his smile was particularly bright.

"Leaving home. Where is the high mountain and the river is home? The girl from 30 years ago, where is Yiren?"

The old man left with slow steps, humming a song.Wen Han listened quietly from behind, watching the old man's back disappear before walking away.

The sky was not bright yet, the sky was dark with billowing dark clouds, and there were bursts of thunder from time to time.It looks like there will be a storm coming.

"I hope that the people in Linhe can catch up and reach their destination before the storm comes."

Wen Han looked up at the sky and muttered in a low voice.Afterwards, the men and horses of Wen Han's army rested in many empty rooms in the city. Among them, Wen Han was strict with his soldiers not to use stitches in the rooms, but to go to bed and rest.

At this time, the other side.In the Qianghu camp, Keba Wuyan woke up very early. He was full of hatred and couldn't sleep all night. He really wanted to break through the Linhe city gate earlier, massacre the Han people, and catch the red-faced man who killed his brother yesterday.According to the information he got, his other younger brother Keba Wujiang was also killed by a red-faced man, he should be the same person as yesterday.And this big red-faced man is the general under the command of that Han general Wen Han, guess the soldiers and horses who attacked yesterday were Wen Han's soldiers and horses.

In other words, Wen Han is in Linhe City.Thinking of this, Keba Wuyan couldn't suppress the infinite killing intent in his heart. He originally had three younger brothers and an only child.The youngest brother is now staying in the territory of Qianghu. The other two brothers were killed by the red-faced general of Wen Han's army, and the only orphan was shot to death by Wen Han.It can be said that Keba Wuyan and Wen Hanjun are incompatible and incompatible.

"Rectify the troops. After half an hour, start attacking the city!"

Keba Wuyan ordered coldly, all the Qiang generals knew that their hatred was higher than the sky, so they dared not hesitate, and immediately ordered their soldiers to prepare.Half an hour later, a total of 3 people, including 2000 Qiang and Hu cavalry, 1000 golden sword warriors, and [-] swordsmen and axemen, were ready to go.Originally, Keba Wuyan had [-] soldiers and horses. Yesterday, Wen Han's army sneaked in, killing more than [-] people and injuring about [-].However, for Keba Wuyan's large army, the number of casualties was more than heartbreaking.

"Slaughter all the river dogs!"

Keba Wuyan pulled out the golden saber from his waist and rode at the front of the large army, shouting Ling Ran.

"Slaughter all the river dogs!"

"Slaughter all the river dogs!"

Immediately, a burst of raging waves shook mountains and seas, and the momentum of a total of [-] Qiang Hu people was indeed astonishing.Keba Wuyan was very satisfied with the momentum of his troops, pulled the reins and took the lead to run.After that, [-] Qiang and Hu troops followed neatly, all of them were furiously fighting, with no killing intent.

After a while, the Han army waiting in Linhe City saw Keba Wuyan's army rushing in mighty force ten miles away, and quickly notified the two main generals, Gao Shun and Wen Han.Wen Han woke up suddenly as if he had a premonition, and just stood up, when the soldiers came to report, he immediately followed the soldiers out.

When Wen Han came to the city gate, he saw Gao Shun.Xu Huang and Guan Yu also came after spending half a stick of incense time because they had to organize their soldiers and horses.Quickly ordered his men and horses to stand in their positions, and some soldiers brought countless arrows and large stones.Others were boiling water in large pots.

Wen Han is familiar with ancient history, and has a clear understanding of the talents of every general in the Three Kingdoms.Among them, in the field of defending the city, Xu Huang can be said to be one of the best Wei generals.He once guarded Fenyin and town Fuhe River, leaving Ma Chao and Han Sui far behind.After the Battle of Chibi, he defended Jiangling together with Cao Ren, which made Zhou Yu retreat in desperation.

The most famous is Xu Huang's Fancheng Siege.At that time Guan Yu led the troops to attack.Yu Jin and Pang De are the main and deputy generals in Fancheng.Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army with water and wiped out Yu Jin and other troops.Afterwards, Guan Yu advanced all the way, and his troops stationed in Yancheng.At that time, Cao Cao sent Xu Huang to guard, and Xu Huang pretended to build a long trench to show that he would cut off the retreat of the Shu army.

Fearing being besieged, the Shu army burned the camp and withdrew. Xu Huang's army entered and occupied Yancheng, connecting camps on both sides, and gradually approached the besieged city.The main force of Guan Yu's army was stationed at Waitou, and there were four other mounds.Xu Huang gradually gained the upper hand, so he used defense as an offense, and used the tactics of attacking east and west, threatening to attack the siege, but unexpectedly attacked Sizhong.

Guan Yu was afraid that the four tombs would be lost, so he led five thousand cavalry to fight, but was defeated by Xu Huang.Xu Huang took advantage of the victory to pursue and rushed into the siege of the Shu army. The Shu army was defeated, and many of them threw themselves into the water and died.Guan Yu, who was originally in a good situation, had no choice but to withdraw from the siege and retreat.As the defender, Xu Huang can still change from passive to active.Use soldiers like gods, switch defense and offense.Cao Cao called it better than Sun Wu and Rang Ju.Cao Cao even personally went out of the camp for seven miles to meet Xu Huang.

Of course, now that Xu Huang and Guan Yu belong to Wen Han, the siege of Fancheng in history will never happen again.Moreover, the current Xu Huang's ability is not half of what it was then.Xu Huang is still young and needs to be polished on the battlefield.However, Wen Han is confident that he will not bury Xu Huang's talent.This time, the command of defending the city was handed over to Xu Huang, which made Xu Huang feel flattered by Wen Han's trust from somewhere.

"Gongming. I have explained to Gao Shun that all the 500 people under his command are under your command. Today, it depends on your performance."

"Although I, Xu Gongming, are not talented, I will never disappoint Master Sima's high expectations!"

Xu Huang knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and accepted the order.The Qianghu army was gradually approaching, and the deafening shouts made the entire Linhe City shake.

With a resolute face, Xu Huang took a step forward and squinted at the formation of the Qianghu troops for a long time.Quickly thinking about the timing of the first round of archery.Soon he decided that there was still three miles to wait for the Qianghu troops.With a wave of his hand, he drank.

"Zhang Gong!"

In the city, there were 800 Heifeng cavalry, 200 infantrymen, and 500 under Gao Shun's command, making a total of 500 people. They all took up their big bows at the same time.

The Qianghu troops were getting closer and closer, and there was still a distance of two miles.

"Up arrow!"

The Qianghu army was only one mile away, and the Han army in the city had already seen its ferocious face.

"aim!"

Xu Huang's heart was beating and his eyes were narrowed.The Qianghu people have not yet reached the optimal distance, so the first round of archery is particularly important. If they can be blocked, the Qianghu people will vent their spirit first, and their morale will be greatly reduced.

Near, near.There are 200 meters, 100 meters.

When the distance between the Qiang and Hu troops was only half a mile, all the Han soldiers in the city were sweaty palms and extremely nervous.This distance is too close.

"shoot!"

Finally, Xu Huang's order was issued.Seven thousand and five hundred Han troops waited for a long time, and immediately shot arrows.Countless arrows, like raindrops, are densely covered with arrows.Suddenly, there was a mournful cry from the city, and many Qianghu cavalry who rushed ahead were shot off their horses.Keba Wuyan was eager to attack the city, and he hadn't lined up yet. Normally, he would not make such a low-level mistake, letting the cavalry be the vanguard of the attack.This time it was really chaotic. Many Qianghu soldiers who fell had no time to get on their horses again. The frightened horses fled around and knocked down many Qianghu soldiers.
