Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 251 Sweeping out the rebel General Meng Da (6)
"You Li Fu, why are you so afraid of the front and the rear, and the head and the tail? It's just a big boost to the enemy's prestige, and it destroys our ambitions! Zhuge Liang is so aggressive, why are you out of control? Tell you ——Even if he raises [-] troops to attack, but the mountain roads in this area are rugged and food transportation is not easy, how long can he last under the high fortification of my strong city? As long as this seat can consume him for several ten days, and At that time, Zhuge Liang will send troops to conquer the west, Lu Boyan will send troops to shock the east, and Sima Yi himself is short of food and soldiers, so he has no choice but to retreat without fighting!"

Hearing his self-indulgence and blind optimism, Li Fu knew that he was really obsessed with ghosts, insane, and incurable, so he could only sigh deeply, shut his mouth and stop talking.

Meng Da thought he had finally convinced Li Fu, so he smiled smugly: "Since Meng Xiaosi came here, he can't let him go back empty-handed, right? Well, let me let him bring back a letter." Go and enlighten Zhuge Liang!" So he pulled out a piece of silk and wrote with a pen:

From Mr. Zhuge:
Suitable for Junjiao, how dare I be less negligent?Isn't it too exaggerated to say that the sudden army was raised to take Weixing County?After my city is repaired and consolidated, and the inside and outside are ready, I can slowly map it!Sima Yi may not doubt me either.Even if he hears that the police are coming to attack, he still loses his chance!Wancheng is about a thousand miles away from Luoyang, and another sixteen hundred miles away from Xincheng.If Sima Yi finds out about my actions, he must first show the Lord Wei's permission. It took a month to go back and forth, so how slow is his coming here!And I can calmly raise my troops and wait for the honor to meet on the bank of the Han River, and together we will be the leader of this thief under the fortified city!

Under the city
The north, west, and south sides of Xincheng County are surrounded by rivers, and this deep moat is drawn from the Han River in the north of the city.If anyone wants to deal with the moat of an ordinary fortress with a cart, it is almost impossible!
The only thing beyond the east wall of this city is a flat and wide land road.It is the only passage connecting the inside and outside of the city, and it is also the most likely "entrance" for the enemy to enter the city.After Meng Da learned that the secret of his incident had been leaked, he immediately dispatched the county captain Deng Xian and Tuntian school captain Cheng Ke to lead [-] soldiers to work outside the east wall day and night, and set up antler fences layer by layer for the purpose of protecting the city. .

"The stumps should be cut thicker next time—these ones won't work! Replace them immediately! At least as thick as the mouth of a barrel!" Deng Xian rode a bay red horse under the scorching sun while inspecting carefully Wiping the hot sweat off his face with his hands while working on the fence fortifications, he yelled at the engineers from time to time, "Have you ever seen how powerful the 'thunderbolt chariot' of the Jingzhou soldiers is? That year, my captain was ordered by the prefect Meng to come here. Dangyang County assisted Xiahou Town to attack Jiangling City in the south——Ah! What a guy! Cheng Ke—I’m afraid you haven’t seen it before, the stones thrown by the ‘Pili Chariot’ are as big as a millstone! Those sea bowls of Wu Jun’s The thick fences were smashed to pieces!"

"Don't worry, Lieutenant Deng—According to Cheng, no matter how powerful the 'thunderbolt car' is, I'm afraid it won't be able to transport it to our rugged and steep mountains and old forests!" Cheng Ke walked side by side with him, saying Li said, "Cheng has also seen that 'Thunderbolt Chariot'! It is more than 20 feet high under the city wall, which is as high as the city wall... How much manpower and horses will it cost?" It was only able to be transported to this dangerous place in the mountains!"

"Cheng Ke! It's a bit wrong for you to say that - as the saying goes, 'Be careful when sailing for ten thousand years.' Since we are going to fight to the death, we should be 'not afraid of ten thousand, just in case'! If Sima Yi's old The boy really disassembled the 'Thunderbolt Chariots' and dragged them in one by one, so what should we do?" Deng Xian didn't like his subordinates to do things in a sloppy way, so he refuted them as soon as he opened his mouth, and the corner of his eyes flickered , pointing to the side with the horsewhip in his hand, "Come over here—use hemp rope to tie these antler fences more firmly, how can they be loose like this?"

He hadn't finished speaking when he heard a sharp sound of "swoosh" coming from mid-air.

There was a slight explosion of "Bo", and he narrowed his eyes, only to see a spiked arrow as thick as a thumb flying from afar, and it was nailed to the eye of his horse, which was exposed outside the armor: the shaft of the arrow It penetrated more than three inches into the horse's head!The scalding blood splashed all at once, and a few points even splashed on his cheeks!

The bay red war horse covered in armor let out a scream, raised its front hooves, and kicked its hind legs wildly—Deng Xian yelled, but was knocked off by the horse, and with a "plop", it landed on the hard yellow ground. He fell so badly that his eyes stared at gold stars!When he managed to get up, his horse slowly fell to the ground with a whine, twitching and gradually becoming stiff...

"There is an enemy sneak attack!" Cheng Ke shouted in a drake-like voice, clamped his horse's belly, and led a group of cavalry to rush forward, "Quick! Quick! Quick! Everyone, fight back!"

He hadn't rushed fifteen feet forward when there was a rush of hooves galloping, and an unarmored white horse suddenly rushed out from the billowing dust and smoke!

There was no one on the horse...

When Cheng Ke was in a daze, a red-tasseled long spear rushed out from the lower right abdomen of the white horse, turning into an arc of silver light and passing by—Cheng Ke felt a chill on the side of his neck, and then a burst of hair burst into flames. The unrestrained heat stream poured out from the neck.With the rapid gushing heat, Cheng Ke could only feel that the heat and strength in his whole body were rapidly losing... He tugged on the rein unsteadily to try to stabilize his figure, but no matter how hard he tried, it seemed to be of no avail and he swayed After a few shakes, he fell off the horse with a bang!

In Cheng Ke's last glance before he fell to the ground, what he saw was a tall figure in white robe and silver armor, standing awe-inspiringly on the back of the ownerless white horse he had just seen!
"Niu Jin!" Deng Xian could see clearly from behind - this white-robed general was indeed the well-known Xiangyang prefect Niu Jin!

What made him even more unbelievable was that the young general in black who followed Niu Jin with a six-foot crossbow in his hand and shot his horse to death with an arrow was actually at the neighborhood fair in Xincheng County a month or two ago. Zhou Tai, a young merchant selling ironware in the city!
Deng Xian gritted his teeth, and was about to raise his sword and order the army to prepare to resist.He raised his head, and suddenly saw the "Wei" flags rising straightly from the mountains and jungles opposite, waving in the air, swirling one after another, as if a black cloud rolled up—— I don't know how many ambushes were hidden in the mountains and plains!
"Ah! Something is wrong!" Deng Xian turned around, snatched a mount, and galloped back towards the east gate of the city as fast as he could - he galloped his horse and hissed loudly: Quickly close the antlers and close the city gate—the enemy army is coming..."

As soon as he took the lead and ran, how could those soldiers under him risk their lives to obey the order to "close the antlers"?They all abandoned their fortifications one after another, and fled as if they were running away after his horse...

Zhou Tai slowly put down the six-foot crossbow, looked at their backs contemptuously, said "Pooh", and said, "It's really useless!" Antler Fence, with a slight smile, turned his head to Niu Jin and said, "Meng Da is really interesting—he actually prepared all the wood for us to set up a camp..."

"Don't think that you can really scare Meng Da and the others just by planting a few flags and pretending to be 'suspect soldiers' in the jungle! They will definitely fight back when they wake up!" Niu Jin said on the horse. There is always such a cold and solemn expression on the back, "You go to the back immediately and send a thousand soldiers up, bring fire, oil, smoke, etc., and set all these antler fences on fire. We can't rush out! Let's not act rashly, wait until all the follow-up troops of the army have arrived... Don't forget the secret order of Sima Dadu before his departure, 'Don't be afraid of bandits fighting, only worry about bandits fleeing; seal their way out, Catch the turtle in the urn'!"

Zhou Tai's expression froze, and he replied solemnly: "Yes!"

Two days later, on the morning of the eighth day after Meng Da wrote the letter to Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi led an army of [-] men to the city of Xincheng County!
A deep and deep sound of horns sounded slowly from the ranks of the Wei army, followed by waves of deep sound echoing from all directions, surging and continuous, as if lingering around the entire city.

Horseshoes bursting, dust flying—under the radiance of the morning glow, groups of cavalry rushed forward like torrents, and then merged into one, forming a surging ocean!
In the "ocean" composed of soldiers of the Wei army, towering "thunderbolt cars" and ladders slowly approached - behind them were rows of iron-clad cars shaped like one-horned rhinoceros. Follow along.

Facing such a mighty and majestic Great Wei Wangshi, Xincheng County seemed to have become a lonely boat, tottering in the boundless and turbulent waves!

On the podium of the Dongcheng Building in Xincheng County, Meng Da held the scabbard tightly in his right hand, biting his cheeks bulgingly, watching the enemy army below the city from a distance, his eyes were full of horror——Sima Yi and his soldiers and horses It was really unexpected that he got under the city so quickly!

In his field of vision, a large black flag was slowly raised in the bright forest of knives and halberds, with the word "Sima" embroidered on it, and it was flying in the wind like a lion. rise!Needless to say, the group of flaming red riders standing under the big banner must be Sima Yi without a doubt!
Of course, Meng Da couldn't see Sima Yi's expression at this moment, but he could already imagine that Sima Yi must have a deep smile on his face - that kind of smile must have been the one he had seen in Changle Palace before. Bitter contempt!When Meng Da thought of this, he couldn't help gritting his teeth "boom boom", wishing he could grab a crossbow arrow and shoot him dead!
"Little Liang Ji! How dare you follow your master to deceive me! Thanks to me, I still trust you so much!" Meng Da was so angry that he had nowhere to vent, so he turned around viciously, staring at the side pillar of the podium. Liang Ji, who was tightly bound, stomped his feet and cursed, "Sima Yi is really deceitful, hateful and hateful! You...you are still laughing! Still laughing! I am going to cut off your head to sacrifice the flag for the three armies!"

Liang Ji looked at Meng Da being so angry that he was so ugly, he withdrew the slight sneer on his face, looked at him sternly, and said coldly: "Meng Da——you don't want to be stubborn anymore! Hurry up and tell Sima Da Surrender, Commander! Otherwise, once the Celestial Army attacks, your entire city, the army and the people will all be crushed!"

Hearing this, Meng Da was furious, and like a mad dog whose tail was stepped on by someone, he jumped up and punched Liang Ji on the cheek, and at the same time shouted sharply: "You kid, how dare you speak hard when you are about to die! Let me turn you into powder first!"

Liang Ji's face was turned to the left by the "bang", and a mass of bruises appeared immediately - he turned his head slowly, and coldly gouged out Meng Da, who was stern and inwardly, and said "Bah!" With a bang, he spit out a mouthful of saliva with traces of blood!
