Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

If the method of coercion and inducement is used at the beginning, it will definitely have no effect.

Now the two sides have fought hard for five days, and both the Han soldiers below the city and the Wei soldiers at the top of the city are exhausted physically and mentally.

Normal incentives no longer have much effect.

after all.

Neither Han soldiers nor Wei soldiers were warriors trained by later generations through faith.

What most soldiers pursue is to return home alive with rewards.

Promotion and promotion have nothing to do with ordinary soldiers.

If you want to boost morale, you have to provide visible benefits.

Drawing a cake once can satisfy your hunger; drawing it ten times will be of no use.

No matter what era we are in, we cannot always rely on painting cakes to satisfy our hunger.

This sudden change caught Xu Huang a little unprepared.

"If you can't take Nanxiang City, don't blame the general for not giving him a reward."

Like hundreds of rivers converging into the sea, the highest morale is condensed in this moment.

Generals such as Liu Feng and Liao Hua felt ashamed and became ruthless, while ordinary soldiers became ruthless because they did not want their money and silk to be taken away by Wei soldiers.

Hearing the screams and the sound of stones hitting the city wall, all the Wei soldiers realized: Han soldiers are attacking the city!

Under the city.

"Lingling King Liu Feng of the Han Dynasty is here, who dares to come forward and fight to the death!"

The three characters Lingling King represent rare military exploits!
If you can kill the king, you will definitely be able to become a marquis!
Liu Feng was fearless and fought hard with the Wei generals to buy time for the Han soldiers behind him to ascend the city.

Originally, I was still thinking about how to boost morale so that the Wei soldiers would not be tempted by the Han soldiers, but in the end, the Han soldiers attacked the city directly.

With the ups and downs, many Wei soldiers had complaints in their hearts.

The powerful generals led by Liu Feng, Liao Hua, and Shamoko attracted more than a thousand dead soldiers and boarded the city in armor.

The ferocious face, the roar like a tiger and leopard, and the heavy sword that was twice as thick as the ordinary ring-headed sword made Liu Feng transform into a city-top killing god at this moment.

Submit a letter to "General Guan Yu".

Zhuge Qiao knew very well that the morale boosted by this tricky method would not last long, so he immediately sent an order to Ma Zhongjufu to let the catapults carry stones.

Originally, he could get grain, rice, money and silk, but now he can only get deadly stones.

"There is a gap to the west, block it quickly! Block it!"

The morale of the Han soldiers returned to its peak again.

Zhuge Qiao's military orders spread throughout the three armies, and the story of catapults throwing grain, rice, coins, gold and silver at the top of the city was also spread.

The tooth flag reaches the front of the formation.

"Everyone has been killing for five days, why can't the Han dog tire of it?"

Wei Zu, who was slow to react, thought it was the same as the previous two times, either grains, rice, coins, gold and silver, or silk cloth.

After five days of bloody fighting, the reward will be given to the Wei soldiers who surrendered?
How can there be such truth in the world!
Seeing that the emotions of the soldiers were aroused, Liu Feng, Liao Hua, Shamoko and other generals who were trapped in the battle also understood Zhuge Qiao's intentions and once again recruited dead soldiers from the army to wear armor and fight again.

"If Wei soldiers surrender, these coins, gold, silver and silk cloth will have nothing to do with you."

"The general is so angry that he can only use the coins, gold, silver, and silk cloth that were originally intended to be rewarded to you to recruit the Wei soldiers in Nanxiang City to surrender."

"You have only one chance now: capture Nanxiang City before dark, and the general will reward you heavily!"

soon.

Although it was Zhuge Qiao who was surrounded by troops under the Ya flag, most of the soldiers recognized the flag but not the man.

"However, you have been attacking the city for five days, but you still can't take Nanxiang City."

"Did these Han dogs take tiger medicine? How could they become so vicious!"

"General, there are Chinese dogs on the tower!"

Thinking that the grain, rice and coins that belonged to them were given to the Wei soldiers, and that the silk cloth would also be given to the surrendered Wei soldiers, the Han soldiers who had fought hard for five days were not happy.

Liu Feng, who was wearing three layers of armor, was the first to jump onto the city. The frustration of being blocked from attacking the city in the past few days and the humiliation three years ago made Liu Feng couldn't help but scream to the sky.

All of a sudden.

The stones flew into the air and hit the city head quickly.

Zhuge Qiao was ruthless to Wei soldiers and equally ruthless to Han soldiers.

Yao Min and Liu Yin rode their horses and shouted to the soldiers:
"The general originally brought you coins, gold, silver and silk cloth to celebrate your victory in capturing Nanxiang City."

The stones were merciless and directly injured or killed these Wei soldiers.

When the Wei soldiers at the top of the city hesitated, Zhuge Qiao issued the third military order.

This offensive by the Han soldiers was more ferocious than the most ferocious siege in the past five days.

The Wei generals who did not want Liu Feng to be arrogant stepped forward with swords to kill the Han general in front of him who claimed to be King Lingling.

"Damn it, I can't stop it anymore!"

If Ya Qi is there, Guan Yu is there!

The "general" personally takes command in front of the battle, and his deterrence is far stronger than that of an ordinary supervising team.

Looking at the fierce and fearless Han soldiers advancing under the city, and then looking at the tooth flag in the distance, Xu Huang felt bitterness in his mouth.

Although I don’t want to admit it, the morale of the Wei soldiers at the top of the city is collapsing!
This is like a tug-of-war, with two sides originally evenly matched.

Suddenly, one party's strength gathered together in an instant, while the other party remained the same.

This balance will inevitably be broken!
Once the balance is broken, it is difficult to maintain it.

The morale of the Han soldiers will continue to be high because Liu Feng and others ascend the city, but the Wei soldiers at the top of the city will gradually panic because of the Han soldiers ascending the city.

Just as Xu Huang was about to give the order, he suddenly felt his eyes go dark and almost fainted.

"General!"

The guards on the left and right quickly supported Xu Huang.

Xu Huang is old after all.

If you are young, even if you stay up late continuously, you can be full of energy after just one or two hours of rest.

But now, after only five days, Xu Huang's body could no longer hold on!

After a long pause, Xu Huang slowly opened his eyes.

"Nanxiang City can't be saved."

"The messenger, Sima Wangji, and the guard Xu Zhi, immediately led the troops to break through the north gate and detour to Nanyang County to join the general!"

Xu Huang issued the military order with difficulty.

The guard was shocked: "General, aren't you leaving?"

Xu Huang's face was stern: "I am the guard general of Nanxiang City, how can I abandon the city and leave!"

Let Wang Ji and Xu Zhi lead the remnant army to break out of the encirclement so as not to make unnecessary sacrifices; they stayed in Nanxiang City personally so as not to tarnish their reputation.

After receiving the military order, Wang Ji and Xu Zhi did not show any pretense and decisively led thousands of remaining soldiers to break out of the encirclement through the north gate.

As Wang Ji and Xu Zhi retreated, the city was quickly occupied by Han soldiers, leaving only Xu Huang and more than a hundred guards still resisting at the city.

Liu Feng saw this and persuaded him to surrender: "Xu Huang, why don't you surrender early?"

Although Xu Huang was surrounded, he did not show any fear or surrender. Instead, he asked in a deep voice: "Where is Guan Yu?"

Liu Feng didn't answer.

Although there is Guan Yu's tooth flag under the city, Guan Yu is not here.

Xu Huang immediately understood the reason: "Guan Yu must not be here. Who is commanding the siege today?"

Liu Feng still didn't answer.

Military orders are like mountains, and Liu Feng cannot easily leak military plans.

Considering the old relationship between Xu Huang and Guan Yu, Liu Feng secretly ordered his soldiers to inform Zhuge Qiao.

Not long after.

Zhuge Qiao also came to the city.

Seeing Xu Huang being supported by two personal guards, Zhuge Qiao also saw that Xu Huang was running out of gas.

"Zhuge Qiao, the son-in-law of the Han general Guan Yu and the general who assisted the Han, has met Uncle Xu." Zhuge Qiao bowed his hands.

The sound of "Uncle Xu" directly reduced the solemn atmosphere of the battlefield by half.

Including Xu Huang's personal guards, everyone looked at Xu Huang in surprise.

Nephew hitting uncle?
So cruel?

Glancing at the reaction of the personal guard, Xu Huang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yun Chang has found a good son-in-law."

"I defended for five days, but you defeated the city in one day; my personal guards were originally prepared to fight to the death, but they were shaken by your call of 'uncle'."

Zhuge Qiao's voice was loud and sincere: "Because I know, Uncle Xu, you don't want these loyal guards to die here."

"Yu Gong, you are the general of the fake Wei Dynasty, I can't let you go; Yu Si, you are the eldest brother of my father-in-law, I can't humiliate you."

"After you die, your personal guards can carry the coffin back to Luoyang."

Xu Huang's bodyguards, who were already feeling guilty because their determination to fight to the death was shaken, were even more shocked when they heard Zhuge Qiao's words.

"General, I am not afraid of death!"

"The general leaves first, I will wait for him to stop him!"

"We have received great favor from the general. We should have died for the general. How could we let the general protect our lives instead?"

"Zhuge Qiao, if you are willing to let the general go, we will die without holding our hands."

"."

The voices that came and went were all defending Xu Huang.

Xu Huang laughed loudly: "I am originally a thief from Baibo. It is my great fortune to meet the late emperor."

"Now there are many righteous people who are willing to die for me. I will have no regrets in this life."

"Zhuge Qiao, tell Yun Chang for me: Although he and I are each our own masters, our brotherhood will last forever; we cannot be ministers in the same palace in this life, and we will fight side by side with him in the next life!"

When all the personal guards heard Xu Huang's farewell words, they were all shocked, and they knelt down and cried to persuade him.

Xu Huang closed his eyes and sighed: "I can't lead you to meritorious service, how can I let you die again?"

"Help my coffin back to Luoyang and tell His Majesty for me: Xu Huang, you have lived up to your lord!"

Done.

Xu Huang raised the sword in his hand and swung it to kill himself.

Xu Gongming, the fifth son of Wei and a hero of his generation, came to an end.

"General!"

A shrill voice sounded at the top of the city, and Xu Huang's personal guards knelt down and cried.

Suddenly, one of Xu Huang's guards drew his sword and committed suicide: "Since the general is dead, how can I live?"

Feeling the reaction, more than ten personal guards also drew their swords and committed suicide.

Seeing that all the guards were about to follow suit, Zhuge Qiao's voice sounded again: "If you all die, who will support Uncle Xu's coffin?"

"Private relationships remain private affairs, and state affairs remain state affairs."

"It is impossible for me to let the warriors of the Han Dynasty carry the coffin to Luoyang for the generals of the puppet Wei Dynasty."

Although his words were cold, Zhuge Qiao's words also reminded these loyal guards.

The sword fell to the ground, but for a moment, there were no more Wei soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp blades at the top of the city. There were only a group of righteous soldiers following Xu Huang.

"Collect the soldiers and armor, don't embarrass them." Zhuge Qiao gave the last military order and immediately walked down the city.

Zhuge Qiao had no friendship with Xu Huang, so he did this just to make Guan Yu feel better.

The battlefield is a matter of life and death, and brothers and sons must face each other with swords. This is the cruelty of civil war.

Let Yao Nian and Liu Yin be responsible for the rewards of military merit, and Zhuge Qiao summoned the generals to discuss the next strategy.

"Although Nanxiang was destroyed, Xu Huang still had thousands of remaining soldiers fleeing north."

"I am about to lead troops to reinforce the general. Who wants to stay in Nanxiang City?"

Zhuge Qiao glanced at everyone with a stern expression.

Po Nanxiang was just the prelude to this Northern Expedition. If you want to achieve a staged victory, you must first destroy Cao Ren in Wancheng.

Therefore.

Zhuge Qiao could not waste a moment in Nanxiang City.

Liu Feng responded: "In the past, I guarded Nanxiang City, but I fell into Mengda's trick by mistake, so I lost the city and was humiliated."

"I am willing to defend Nanxiang City again, control Danshui, and connect Wuguan to support the armies!" Get up where you fell.

If it hadn't been for Meng Da's betrayal in the past, Nanxiang City would have been controlled by Guan Yu.

Zhuge Qiao saw that there was no one fighting for the generals, so he ordered: "In that case, Lingling King Liu Feng will lead 5,000 troops to garrison Nanxiang City."

"The rest of the soldiers will leave the city immediately and head to Xinye."

Su Fei added: "General, the soldiers have been tired after fighting hard for many days, so it is better to rest for a day."

Zhuge Qiao shook his head: "The general only has more than 10,000 troops, and he is facing Cao Ren's 80,000 men."

"One more day of delay will put the general in danger."

"The tired troops can rest on the warships. This time we will not take the land route, but the water route."

"It can save the sergeant's energy and also take him by surprise."

"The baggage and food that have been moved out of the cabin do not need to be loaded on the ship. They are all left to Liu Feng to defend the city."

Zhuge Qiao's route was to go down the river from Nanxiang City to Xiangyang, and then from Xiangyang to the Xinye territory along the back of the Jishui River.

If Guan Yu had trouble fighting in Xinye, he would inevitably fight and retreat along the Feishui River.

The reason why he didn't bring any food and supplies was because he had to pass through Xiangyang, and Zhuge Qiao had made preparations in Xiangyang before he came.

This is the benefit of having an elite naval force.

Seeing that Zhuge Qiao was well prepared, Su Fei stopped asking any more questions.

All the troops quickly went to the river to board the boats and took turns to rest.

The waterway from Nanxiang to Xinye is more than 600 miles. If you go down the river, you can reach Xiangyang in one day, or in two days if you go slowly.

Going upstream from Xiangyang to Xinye was a little slower, but the distance was only a hundred miles.

If it were not for the fact that the soldiers were exhausted from the battle, Zhuge Qiao would have arrived at Xinye in three days.

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the sergeants and to reinforce Guan Yu in time.

Zhuge Qiao divided the army into two groups, the front and the rear.

Those who are physically strong are the front troops, and they enter Xiangyang in one day, and then enter the new fields in two days; those who are exhausted are the rear troops, and they enter Xiangyang in two days, and then enter the new fields in three days.

The front and rear armies were separated by two days to ensure that the army would not be too exhausted from continuous fighting and marching.

Zhuge Qiao also ordered the cavalry scouts to go overland to Xinye first, looking for opportunities to notify Guan Yu and strengthen communication between them.

During this time.

Cao Ren also completed the encirclement of Xinye.

Xu Shang and Lu Jian from Rangxian County, Chang Diao and Zhuge Qian from Anzhong, and Xia Houxian from Jueyang each led three routes of 8,000 foot soldiers to arrive outside Xinye City.

Xiahou Shang, who found himself from being lost, also led his cavalry to join Cao Ren.

Plus Cao Ren's five thousand cavalry.

The number of Wei soldiers outside Xinye City has reached 30,000!

And the Han soldiers in Xinye only numbered over 10,000!
Nearly three times the strength advantage, coupled with the fact that Xinye is a run-down town and cannot be defended.

Cao Ren is sure to win this battle!

"Guan Yu, a common man, will definitely avenge Fancheng this time!" Cao Ren roared fiercely.

I thought I could only fight Guan Xing, but I found out that Guan Yu was also in Xinye, which made Cao Ren even more excited.

Fancheng lost to Guan Yu, Cao Ren was not convinced.

Due to deployment errors, Guan Yu took control of the Han River and cut off the connection between Fancheng and Xiangyang.

As a result, Cao Ren could only use a few thousand soldiers to defeat Guan Yu's 30,000 soldiers.

Although the basics of using troops are to divide the enemy's forces and create localized areas where more troops can defeat fewer troops; however, this does not affect Cao Ren's dissatisfaction with Guan Yu.

Cao Ren has been holding back for more than three years, and now he has taken the opportunity to form a partial situation of using more to defeat less. How can Cao Ren let it go?
It was not that Cao Ren really wanted to defend the city, but that it was difficult to seize the opportunity to block Guan Yu.

Cao Ren was determined to trap Guan Yu to death, so he deployed a large number of antlers in Xinye City and advanced towards Xinye City step by step.

Gradually formed the trend of encirclement from ten sides!
And in Xinye City.

Looking at Cao Ren's army that was gradually encircling him, Guan Yu didn't panic at all and issued military orders in an orderly manner.

"Zong Yu!"

"exist!"

"Fu Shu!"

"exist!"

"Fu Kuang!"

"exist!"

"Guan Xing!"

"exist!"

The four generals responded loudly, without any trace of panic on their faces.

Guan Yu is already in Xinye, what else is there to panic about?

"Although Cao Ren has 80,000 people in Nanyang County, the maximum number that can gather in Xinye in a short period of time is 30,000."

"Although Xinye City is not as advantageous as a city, it is better because it is flat. Cao Ren also has to use antlers to prevent us from leaving."

"Cao Ren wants to trap us to death, how can we let him do so?"

"Tonight I will lead my troops to rob the camp, and you and other four generals will destroy the antlers outside the east gate."

The east gate is near the water.

Obviously.

Guan Yu also anticipated Zhuge Qiao's most likely marching route.

Guan Xing worriedly said: "How about I rob the camp and the general destroy the antlers at the east gate."

Fu Xu, Zong Yu, and Fu Kuang also requested orders one after another.

Guan Yu knew the thoughts of the four generals, and he was just worried that Guan Yu would make a mistake.

Guan Yu shouted softly: "What can you do in front of me! I have five hundred cavalry in my hands, and they can come and go as they please."

"Even if the robbery of the camp fails, we can retreat calmly."

"But-" As soon as Guan Xing opened his mouth, Guan Yu glared at him and swallowed the rest of his words.

Guan Yu's tiger beard trembled slightly: "In the past, Zhang Wenyuan defeated Sun Quan with 800 infantry in Xiaoyaojin. He took the lead and was invincible."

"Zilong rode dozens of cavalry into the formation of Cao's army in the Han River. Wherever the spear came, it was like entering an uninhabited country."

"Huang Zhong made a sudden attack on Shanshan in Dingjun and beheaded the generals, and killed Xiahou Yuan on the antlers of a deer."

"When Xu Huang was in Fancheng, he also drove straight in, broke the antlers of many deer, and beheaded Fu Fang and Hu Xiu."

"Even Gan Ning of Jiangdong once robbed the camp with hundreds of horses."

"In the past, I single-handedly killed Yan Liang among thousands of troops. Now that I have five hundred elite cavalry, am I not as good as Gan Ning?"

"I came here just by chance; the four of you who guard Xinye are still here."

"You asked me to destroy the antlers. Do you want me to take credit from you and the other four?"

Guan Yu's words made the four of Guan Xing feel ashamed.

Since Guan Yu arrived, all Guan Xing and the others wanted to do was obey Guan Yu's orders.

But Guan Yu had different ideas. Guan Yu just wanted to have a fun and enjoyable battle as a general.

The tiger is still here, how can it be mistaken for a sick cat?
That night.

Guan Yu led his cavalry out of the west gate wrapped in armor, sneaked under the Wei barracks, pulled off the antlers, and rushed into the camp.

In the camp at Ximen were Wei generals Xu Shang and Lu Jian.

They are all old acquaintances.

In the Battle of Xiangfan three years ago, Xu Shang and Lu Jian underestimated the enemy and were defeated by Guan Yu.

At that time, Guan Yu wanted to ambush Xu Huang, but he never thought of ambushing the two dogs with a ox-killing knife (Chapter 110).

Persimmons should be picked soft and pinched.

Cao Ren was too cautious and it was too dangerous to rob the camp with 500 cavalry; it was relatively easy to defeat Xu Shang and Lu Jian.

in the night.

Guan Yu led his troops into the Wei army's camp. Five hundred cavalry roared in the camp and killed dozens of them with a single charge.

The officers and soldiers of the Wei army were alarmed and mistakenly thought that the new Han army was attacking, so they got up to prepare for battle.

Guan Yu just led the cavalry to rush left and right to increase the momentum.

After seeing Guan Yu, Xu Shang and Lu Jian were shocked and did not dare to fight. They just ordered to raise torches, beat drums and shout.

When the torches in the camp were as dense as stars, Cao Ren of the South Village and Chang Diao of the North Village realized the situation, and each led troops and horses to rescue the West Village.

When Guan Yu saw this, he didn't want to fight anymore.

He directly led his troops to the North Village where Chang Diao was and took a circuitous route. With the mobility of his cavalry, Guan Yu successfully avoided encountering Chang Diao's troops.

When Cao Ren and Chang Diao arrived at Xizhai, they found that the Han soldiers in Xizhai had already withdrawn.

"what happened?"

"How many Han soldiers came to rob the camp?"

Cao Ren was furious and looked at Xu Shang and Lu Jian with very unkind eyes.

Chang Diao also had a steady expression on his face.

The whole camp was lit with fire, and both Cao Ren and Chang Diao thought it was the Han soldiers who concentrated their forces to attack.

result.

The entire Wei soldiers in Xizhai, including the injured, did not exceed a hundred people!
Is this an incoming army?

Xu Shang bit the bullet and said, "I only saw Guan Yu's cavalry."

Cao Ren was even more angry: "How many cavalry can Guan Yu have? Five hundred at most!"

"Five hundred cavalry, you set the whole camp on fire? Are your eight thousand men eight thousand dolphins and dogs?"

Xu Shang and Lu Jian lowered their heads, not daring to meet Cao Ren's eyes.

Chang Diao asked: "Have Guan Yu's cavalry ever returned to camp?"

Xu Shang and Lu Jian shook their heads.

At this time, a small soldier shouted: "It seems to be going north."

north?

Chang Diao's expression changed greatly: "No! Guan Yu must have gone to my Beizhai! I have to return to Beizhai immediately!"

Cao Ren's face was also ugly, and he immediately ordered: "Chang Diao, you quickly return to the North Village; I will return to the South Village to avoid Guan Yu's detour."

Chang Diao nodded, turned around and left.

Cao Ren scolded Xu Shang and Lu Jian fiercely: "If it weren't for your past achievements, I would have killed you two today."

"It's a good time to defend the stronghold. If you dare to lie about the military situation tonight again, you will be killed without mercy!"

Xu Shang and Lu Jian were scolded so much that they hated Guan Yu even more.

the other side.

Guan Yu took advantage of Chang Diao to lead his troops out of the camp, and repeated his old tricks to rush into Chang Diao's camp.

The few soldiers in the camp could not withstand Guan Yu's tiger power, so they scattered and collapsed.

By the time Chang Diao led his troops back, the camp was already in a mess.

"Guan Yu, I swear to kill you!" Chang Diao shouted angrily in the direction of Xinye City, feeling very angry at Xu Shang and Lu Jian.

If Xu Shang and Lu Jian had not set fire to the entire camp, how could Chang Diao have led his troops to rescue him? If he had not led his troops to rescue him, how could he have been stolen by Guan Yu!
Also affected by the disaster was Xia Houxian of Dongzhai.

The four generals of Guanxing came to destroy the antlers, which frightened Xiahou Xian and quickly sent people to the South and North villages to ask for help.

But they learned that soldiers and horses from both villages had gone to rescue Xizhai.

This immediately confused Xiahou Xian.

Do you understand the east-west direction?

Almost all the Han soldiers from Xinye came to Dongzhai. Are you going to rescue Xizhai?
By the time Cao Ren heard the news and came to the rescue, Guan Xing had already destroyed the antlers and returned to Xinye City.

It was learned that Guan Yu frightened the courage of Xu Shang and Lu Jian, causing Cao Ren of the South Village and Chang Diao's army of the North Village to run back and forth, and took the opportunity to burn the North Village.

However, none of these five hundred horses was lost, and the morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly boosted.

They all shouted "Tiger Might"!
Guan Yu also stroked his beard and laughed: Although I am old, I am still brave! (End of chapter)
