The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 29

In fact, this strategy of Mr. Xu should have been very successful. The only mistake he made was that he did not expect that even if Li Yuan was not in Runan, someone would still be able to see through his strategy, and that person would be Xi Zhicai. Going to the prefect's mansion to help Chen Qun handle political affairs, then Chen Qun must have been tricked, but everything is in the dark, and it is destined that his trick will be seen through.

Chen Qun saw Liu Pi leading the attack on the city, and said, "It seems that they still don't give up and want to continue to attack the city."

"It's better if they don't give up. I'm afraid they will run away. If they run away, we won't be able to catch them all." Xi Zhi only took a look at the sky. He guessed that Xu Zhu should come back. As long as they come back, they can attack together. The remnants of the Yellow Turbans caught them off guard.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Zhicai coughed again, and glanced at the handkerchief, which was still bloodshot, Chen Qun said worriedly: "Zhicai, it's windy on the top of the city, you'd better go back and rest, I'm here to watch Can."

"No, although we have the upper hand now, we still have to be careful. I'm just a minor illness. You don't have to worry too much." Xi Zhicai knew that Chen Qun was only good at handling government affairs, and only knew a thing or two about using soldiers. They already had the chance to win, but he was still worried about going back.

At this time, Xu Zhu had already run back. They were just pretending to go to Pingyu County. In fact, they turned back before they reached halfway, and he met a group of acquaintances on the way. They were Li Yuan who came back from Nanyang. Waiting for others, it is a coincidence that the road that Xu Zhu took was the only way for Li Yuan to return to Runan. It is really a coincidence.

"My lord, why did you come back so soon?" Seeing Li Yuan coming back, Xu Zhu was full of surprises. He thought Li Yuan would not come back so soon, but he didn't expect to bump into him halfway.

Seeing Xu Zhu appearing here, Li Yuan was even more surprised. He glanced at the two thousand soldiers and horses behind him and couldn't help but ask, "Why did the army appear here? Could it be that the remnants of the Yellow Turbans were dispatched?"

"That's right, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans have indeed been dispatched." Xu Zhu generaled the enemy's army to use it to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and Xi Zhicai told Li Yuan completely what he had planned.

After listening to it, Li Yuan praised him greatly: "What a talented person, this strategy is really good, but this group of generals of the Yellow Turban Remnant Party is not bad, they even use the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, I would like to see what it is figure."

In Li Yuan's impression, the Yellow Turban Army is a group of impulsive idiots, without much ability, marching and fighting, they can only charge forward, and they don't even know the most common strategic formations. When the time comes to act, the timing is accurate enough.

After Li Yuan came back, Xu Zhu took the initiative to hand over the soldiers and horses to Li Yuan's command. Li Yuan took over [-] soldiers and horses, made Huang Zhong his deputy general, and arranged for Wang Wu to lead [-] Tiger Guards to protect Cai Yan and Diao Xiu. Son, Zhang Ji and Huang Xu, let them wait where they are, and let them enter Runan after the remnants of the Yellow Turbans are dealt with, so as not to be injured on the battlefield.

Huang Zhong didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to go to the battlefield so soon. He thought that as a rookie, he must perform well to repay Li Yuanzhi's kindness. Looking at the two thousand soldiers and horses in front of him, he felt that the blood in his body had begun to boil. Naturally, what he did was to lead his soldiers and horses to fight the enemy bravely.

Li Yuan led the troops back to Runan in just a few cups of tea. Thousands of remnants of the Yellow Turbans were desperately attacking the city. However, under the command of Xi Zhicai, the defense of Runan was impeccable. There is no chance at all, and the number of soldier casualties is probably 700-[-].

"All the soldiers listen to the order. The Yellow Turbans dared to attack our Runan. Now they have been tricked by the army. You wait for me to fight the enemy bravely. Those who capture the enemy will be rewarded with a thousand gold!" Under his leadership, the morale of the soldiers was high, and when they heard that they would be rewarded with a thousand gold for capturing the enemy general, they all scrambled to be the first, lest they be taken the first step by others.

The horn of attack sounded in an instant, and the remaining members of the Yellow Turban Party had already been killed by the troops led by Li Yuan before they realized what was going on.Li Yuan was extremely brave, he charged left and right with a long iron spear in his hand, and there was no one in his hands. The yellow scarf thieves ran away when they saw him rushing over, as if they were seeing a god of death. In the end, there was no one in front of Li Yuan. Enemy soldiers, this scene looks extremely funny.

Xu Zhu silently protected Li Yuan behind him. Although he knew Li Yuan's bravery, as a subordinate, he still took protecting Li Yuan as the most important task.

Xi Zhicai and Chen Qun on the city wall were very happy to see Xu Zhu leading the army back, but what made them even more happy was that Li Yuan had also returned, and he personally led the troops to charge into the battle.

"Why did the lord come back so soon?" Chen Qun looked at Li Yuan under the city and said in surprise.

"Hahahaha, it seems that my lord's trip to Nanyang went very smoothly, otherwise it would be impossible to come back so soon. We will also lead our troops out to meet the lord, and attack from inside and outside." Xi Zhicai immediately ordered to open the city gate, and more than 300 people in the city The soldiers and horses and more than 100 soldiers of the Tiger Guard Battalion immediately went out of the city to meet the enemy, and Li Yuan's soldiers and horses flanked the Yellow Turban bandits one after the other.

After the soldiers and horses in the city joined the battle, the Yellow Turban soldiers and horses were routed more quickly. They were already unfavorable in attacking the city and their morale was low. Then more than 2000 people suddenly killed them from the rear and beat them by surprise. The leading general was still extremely brave. Now the soldiers in the city The horse also rushed out to attack both inside and outside, which made them even more collapsed.

He was completely stunned. He really couldn't imagine why the soldiers and horses going to Pingyu County would come back suddenly. Seeing more and more soldiers falling down, he was heartbroken, and said to Liu Pi quickly: "Liu Pi, we must retreat. , If we continue to fight, the whole army will be wiped out!"

"Retreat? How else can we retreat? The two thousand soldiers and horses behind have blocked the way of retreat. If we go back, we will die, and if we go forward, we will die. Why don't we fight them!" Yiheng plans to kill one to make enough money, and kill two to make money.

Xi Du glanced around and saw a man so brave that the soldiers wherever he went did not dare to fight him. Xi Du felt that this man might be the enemy general, and said: "That man Liu is very likely He is the main general of the enemy army, if we take him down, we will have a chance to turn defeat into victory."

Liu Pi glanced at the place Xidu was pointing at, and found that the man was indeed dressed differently from the others, so he nodded in agreement, and together with Xidu, he rode his horse towards the enemy general.

Li Yuan was very depressed at this time. No matter where he ran, the enemy would not fight him, which made him feel extremely boring. This time, when he saw someone killing him, he immediately regained his energy. A batch of fast horses suddenly came in and stood in front of him. The person who came was none other than Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng!
"My lord, don't worry, I think those two should be wearing yellow scarves, I'll go and capture them alive!" Huang Zhong swung the Fengzui knife to kill the enemy.When Li Yuan saw Huang Zhong making a move, he didn't rush to attack, but watched Huang Zhong fight quietly.

At this time, Huang Zhong was still young, and he was in his prime. You must know that Huang Zhong was able to kill Cao Wei general Xia Houyuan when he was over seventy years old. It can be seen that his courage and martial arts are extraordinary.

"Who are you? Don't hinder me, die for me!" Liu Pi's target was Li Yuan, but he was annoyed by the sudden killing of a person blocking the way, and he slashed at the enemy mercilessly with a big knife in his hand.

"Hmph, if you dare to show your shame with such martial arts skills, get off my horse!" Huang Zhong easily dodged Liu Pi's attack sideways, and kicked Liu Pi several feet away with his right foot. As soon as Liu Pi fell to the ground, the nearby soldiers rushed up Come and capture him.

"Liu Pi!" Xi Du wanted to kill and rescue Liu Pi, but how could Huang Zhong let him succeed? He saw him slashing towards Xi Du's back with a phoenix knife, and Xi Du heard the wind behind his head and quickly blocked it with his big knife. Anticipating that Huang Zhong's strength was far superior to his own, and that he was sent flying with a knife, Huang Zhong had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and rode his horse forward to catch all the attackers who had fallen off the horse and put them on the horse's back.

Li Yuan was overjoyed when he saw Huang Zhong's bravery. He thought that Huang Zhong, one of the five tiger generals, really deserved his reputation, so he hurriedly shouted: "The general of the Yellow Turban bandit has been captured alive, you can't wait to surrender!"

Following Li Yuan's yell, Xu Zhu, Huang Zhong and others also yelled together, and the yellow turban thieves who were on the verge of collapse looked over one after another, and sure enough, they saw that the big leader and the second leader had been captured, and they immediately lost their fighting spirit. , One after another threw away their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

The defense battle of Runan came to an end.
