Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 187 Killing with a Borrowed Knife (Second Watch Subscription)
Chapter 191

Seeing that there were no more trebuchets on the top of the city to speak, Mao Husheng shouted with great joy: "Soldiers, all the trebuchets of the Wei army have been destroyed by our army. According to the general's order, the entire army will attack, and the first climber will be rewarded with [-] yuan." Money, promoted to three ranks!"

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

Mao Husheng's words shocked the morale of the soldiers of the Jin army. Thousands of soldiers of the Jin army roared and rushed towards the city wall of the new city.

When the Jinglan chariot was pushed to a distance of more than ten steps from the city wall by the soldiers of the Jin army, it stopped abruptly.

At this time, the soldiers of the Jin army began to board the Jinglan cart from below. There were arrow holes on the Jinglan cart, and they could shoot at the Wei army with bows and arrows.With a distance of more than ten steps, for skilled Jin army archers, there is no problem of missing the target at all.What's more, at this distance, unless the steel armor is heavy, the leather armor is pale and weak under the strength of the bow and arrow!
"咻 ..." The densely broke sound and ears. The soldiers of the soldiers were shot by the archers on the city wall on the wall and could not lift their heads. rear.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yu suddenly shouted: "Long Zhen, where are you bastards! Are you still alive?"

Not far away, Long Zhen heard Zhang Yu's voice and replied, "The humble job is here!"

"It's good to be alive, these well-lane carts are too harmful to us, if this continues, we can't hold our heads up at all!" Zhang Yu said: "You take the brothers from the pro-barracks and burn these well-lane carts with kerosene tanks! "

Long Zhen roared: "Obey!"

"Follow Yeye if you are not afraid of death!" Long Zhen raised a heavy shield in one hand, and held a fire oil tank in the other hand. The method of precipitation, the easy-to-ignite kerosene extracted!
Just as Long Zhen got up, hundreds of archers from the Jin army on the seven Jinglan vehicles all aimed at Long Zhen, and Long Zhen had no chance to throw the fire oil tank out!
After a while, Longzhen's shield was filled with arrows.

At this critical moment, dozens of soldiers from Zhang Yuqin's barracks appeared on the city wall. The dozens of soldiers dispersed Long Zhen's pressure, and Long Zhen successfully smashed the fire oil tank in his hand into a well. in the car!The oil tank slammed into the well railing car, and it was torn apart, and the fierce fire oil slowly dripped down the well railing car!
However, those soldiers of theirs were ushered in the arrow of death with only half of their heads exposed, and dozens of soldiers were sacrificed. In the end, only three Jinglan vehicles were hit with heavy kerosene.Long really had no choice but to pick up a torch and throw the torch on the Jinglan cart soaked in kerosene!
When the fierce fire oil meets the fire, it ignites instantly.The fire, accompanied by thick smoke, effectively blocked the sight of the archers of the Jin army. At this time, hundreds of soldiers used the same method to ignite other Jinglan vehicles!
The air was filled with the choking smell of smoke. Seeing the seven Jinglan trucks being ignited almost one after another, Mao Husheng's lungs exploded, and he clenched his fists fiercely. Due to too much force, Mao Husheng's nails were deep The blood fell into the flesh, and the blood slowly dripped on the snow along the gap between the fingers!

Mao Husheng snatched a heavy shield from his own soldiers, stared into his red eyes, and roared: "If the last attack on the city fails, the whole army will be killed from the general down! Death will be the result of the attack. On the way!"

But at this time, the sound of Jin Ming sounded, Mao Husheng sighed, and said in frustration: "Notify, bury the brothers who died in battle, and pay the pension in time. Whoever dares to be greedy, try the sharpness of the general's sword! The wounded Enter the camp in time for medical treatment!" After giving these instructions, Mao Husheng walked towards Huanwen's Chinese army camp!
Outside Huanwen's Chinese army camp, Mao Husheng suddenly knelt down and shouted: "The guilty general Mao Husheng, please see General Zhengxi!"

Then Mao Husheng got up, took three steps forward, knelt down again, and shouted: "The criminal Mao Husheng, please see General Zhengxi!".

Mao Husheng's practice is called "roll call" in the army, and it is usually counted as a punishment for dereliction of duty generals.At this time, Huan Wen didn't punish Mao Husheng, but Mao Husheng had already dealt with him!

Hearing Mao Husheng come in by name, Huan Wen smiled at Meng Jia: "Our tiger is in a hurry!"

Meng Jia nodded slightly, Huan Wen stood up, took three steps at a time, and went outside the tent.

Huan Wen stretched out his hand to take off his cloak, put it on for Mao Husheng, then supported Mao Husheng with both hands, and said with concern: "General, why bother?"

"Mu Zhi is ashamed to meet the general, and even more ashamed to face the dead brother!"

"Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs." Huan Wen patted Mao Husheng on the shoulder, pointed to Xincheng and said, "Besides, the general is facing the notorious Wei army in the world. It is as fierce as the Huns, Jiehu, and Xianbei. They are all defeated in front of the Wei army. General With this record, it is enough to be proud of.”

Hearing Huan Wen's advice, Mao Husheng felt less guilty in his heart.

Huan Wen helped Mao Husheng into the big tent of the Chinese army. Huan Wen pressed Mao Husheng on the Hu bed, poured a glass of warm wine for Mao Husheng with his own hands, and said: "The general is mighty, Wen admires, please drink!"

Mao Husheng followed Huan Wen because Huan Wen treated him with respect and virtuous corporal, which can be called the demeanor of a famous master.Mao Husheng said: "Mu Zhi, what kind of virtue can you..."

Huan Wen pointed to the map and said to Mao Husheng: "Mu Zhi, what do you think the fighting power of the Wei army is like?"

Mao Husheng said without even thinking about it: "Courage is good, but there is still a big gap between the combat effectiveness and the world's most powerful army."

Huan Wen laughed and said, "Because it's not Ran Ming and his direct generals who are directing this. After all, our opponent is also our great acquaintance——Zhang Yu!"

"Zhang Yu?" Mao Husheng was very surprised. How could he be so good at fighting?When he was in Liang County, he heard the news and ran away!

"Surprised?" Huan Wen laughed.

Mao Husheng nodded.

Meng Jia said softly, "Is there anything more unexpected?"

"Oh." Mao Husheng asked curiously: "What accident? Mr. mean..."

Meng Jia pointed to the map and said: "Xincheng is only [-] miles away from Luoyang. According to the normal marching speed, it only takes one day to reach Xincheng from Luoyang. However, it has been three days since Xincheng fought, but within three days, Ran Ming They didn't even send a single soldier to Xincheng!"

Huan Wen's face showed a solemn look: "There are two possibilities for this situation. One is that Ran Mingyi was retreating from Luoyang at full speed and had no time to pay attention to him. Zhang Yu was regarded as an abandoned son by him. If this is the case, It is meaningless for us to attack the new city here. From the current point of view, it will take at least three to five days for us to capture the new city. However, according to the intelligence, it will only take three days at most for Ran Ming to evacuate the people and property from Luoyang !Even if we capture the new city in three days, when we reach Luoyang, we will be like Lu Hun, we will get nothing but an empty city!"

Mao Husheng subconsciously said: "Another possibility?"

"Another possibility!" Huan Wen smiled wryly, "It's the last thing I want to see. This Luoyang is a bait, a game of Ran Mingbu. If this is the case, the main force of the Wei army should appear behind us soon. , we saw that Ran Ming transferred the main force to Guanzhong, it was just a smoke, and the purpose was to eat up our main force!"

Meng Jia said with a smile: "Ran Ming eats the main force of the general, and the Jin Dynasty will benefit in the end. He will exhaust the last bit of vitality of the Wei country. It can be said that the gain is not worth the loss. Besides, the general stayed in Jiankang's eyeliner, and the court has not discovered it yet. There was no contact with the Wei state, and no Wei envoys arrived in Jiankang. The current court may not have thought of the situation that Duke Ming said, or did not take action, so we must rush!"

Huan Wen asked, "What do you mean by ten thousand years?"

Meng Jia pointed to the "Shuizhai Town" written on the map and said: "This place faces Yishui in the west, Songyue Mountain in the east, Yique (Longmen) in the north, and Xiangwan in the south. Passage. According to historical records, although there is no official road here, large-scale marches are not allowed, but if the general sends a surprise army to pass through Shuizhai, pass through Yique, and pass through Peng Po, you can go directly to Luoyang Nanming Gate!"

Mao Husheng understood a little at this time: "Mu Zhi will continue to increase his attack on Xincheng, and cover the main force to pass through Shuizhai Town?"

Huan Wen and Meng Jia nodded.Huan Wen said worriedly: "Passing through Yique and entering Luoyang through the water village, I think Ran Ming will definitely get it, and he will not be unprepared. This is a very dangerous task! However, it must be carried out by a general who is familiar with the terrain of the water village. Take on this important task!"

In terms of being familiar with the local terrain, the army of the Jin Dynasty has not come to Luoyang for more than 40 years. Mao Anzhi!Mao Husheng said: "Since ancient times, Wen died to remonstrate, Wu fought to the death, and the body was shrouded in horse leather. It's the great fortune! The general doesn't need to worry too much!"

Huan Wen's move can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. He can not only remove Mao Anzhi, a cancer hidden in the dark, but also find out the reality of the Wei army.If Ran Ming laid out an ambush in the direction of Yique, it would mean that Ran Ming's attack on Xie Shang in the Meridian Valley was a false soldier, and Huan Wen could also get away!

Even if Ran Ming has an ambush in Yique, kill Mao Anzhi.For Huan Wen, that wasn't a bad thing either.

After all, the death of Mao Anzhi, who was loyal to the imperial court, would do more good than harm to Huan Wen.

Mao Anzhi received Huan Wen's order. Although he knew that the trip was dangerous, he had no reason to refuse. Because of his guilty conscience, he was afraid that Huan Wen would find out, and he dared not refuse Huan Wen's order.

That night, Mao Anzhi led [-] troops from the headquarters, left from the Jin army camp in Xincheng, and marched towards Shuizhai Town!
……

In the dense forest of Yique, Wei Jun's secret camp, Ran Ming is opening the new city battle report that just came.

Following Ran Ming was the third apprentice Liu Ke. Ran Ming read the battle report and handed it to Liu Ke.

Liu Ke looked at the battle report, with a strange expression on his face: "Master, I didn't expect Zhang Yu to be very stubborn this time!"

Ran Ming asked, "Do you know the reason for this?"

Liu Ke shook his head blankly, bowed and said: "The disciple is stupid..."
