Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 179
The parapet wall of the camp was only two feet high, and the servants rushing to the front immediately formed a group under the wall, and the second batch of servants directly stepped on the backs of these servants who were lying at the foot of the wall, and those who fell into the camp stepped on the first. On the shoulders of the two batches of handymen, they reached the top of the wall with their hands, and as soon as they exerted force with their arms, they rolled over and landed on the top of the parapet.

At this time, only a few of the enemy soldiers in the village had grabbed their weapons, and most of the enemy soldiers were still in chaos!

After Gao Shun climbed into the protective wall, he waved his knife and ordered loudly, "Kill them!"

What followed was a massacre. Yuan Shao's soldiers, who had not even had time to put on their armor and did not even have weapons, could be opponents trapped in the camp. Too many, heads rolling on the ground.

But after all, there are as many as five thousand soldiers here, and soon, several enemy generals formed a resistance formation. Although they are still not enemies in the camp, they also have some counterattack power.

The battle quickly became more intense and bloody, and the shouts of killing and roaring in the camp were heard for several miles, and it was frightening to hear!
At the south pier of Wuchao, there were still some enemy soldiers left every ten or so feet, in groups of two and two, and they were asked by the leading general to stick to the wall and always pay attention to the movement around them.

The one closest to the south gate of the camp is a fat man and a thin man. Although they look normal from a distance, if you walk in, you will find that the calves of the fat and thin soldiers are trembling slightly.

The fat man glanced at the thin man, forced himself to be calm, and said with a smile: "Brother, you look so timid, your teeth are fighting! Hehehe!"

The thin man also looked at the fat man's trembling legs, let out a sharp and strange smile, and said with chattering teeth: "You have, what kind of bran are you sifting through your legs?"

The fat man refused to accept it and said: "Brother, I'm holding back my urine, wait until I urinate first!" Then he turned around, found a gap in the parapet, and tremblingly pulled out the thing , and peed outside.

Facing the south, the fat man can see the wharves for water transportation at a glance, and further ahead is a river, which connects swamps. In the swamp, except for some reeds as tall as a person, it is the surface of the water. , There is nothing to see, just like what the fat man saw in the past, there is no difference.

Fatty trembled and hummed an inexplicable ditty in a low voice, trying to suppress the panic in his heart. After urinating, his body trembled, and he felt much better. When he was turning around, Fatty suddenly stopped and hummed a ditty Suddenly interrupted.

"There are water ghosts! There are water ghosts!" The fat man screamed in fright, pointing with one hand and pulling the thin man with the other, trying to run away, but he stayed where he was.

Right on the calm water surface, countless black figures suddenly emerged from the water surface without a sound. It looked like an army of ghosts and ghosts, drilling out of the impossible water surface.

This piece of water is extremely wide, if it is a living person, in Fatty's knowledge, it is absolutely impossible to dive from under the surface of the water, they can only come by boat!

So these sudden appearances must be water ghosts!

The thin man turned around and saw that his teeth chattered even more, "Run!" The thin man shouted in fear.

In fact, it was not the water ghost that suddenly appeared in the water, but the tiger guards led by Xu Chu. Because he couldn't find enough boats at the moment and didn't want to alarm the enemy soldiers, Xu Chu made all the tiger guards a homemade reed pole and put it in the water. Put one end of the mouth above the water, and you can dive under the water.

After diving to the shore, Xu Chu and the tiger guards immediately took their knives in their hands and shouted: "Kill!"

Everyone of the [-] Tiger Guards scrambled to be the first, and threw the nooses they had prepared earlier onto the stakes on the parapet wall, and climbed to the top of the city in a few strokes!And the few enemy soldiers guarding this side were already scared and hid.

Xu Chu led the tiger guards and rushed directly to the front where the killing sound was loudest. The enemy general guarding Wuchao thought it was reinforcements, and shouted: "Are reinforcements?"

What answered him was a roar from the Tiger Guards: "Kill!"

Xu Chu roared angrily, rushed forward, chopped off the enemy general's head with one blow, and shouted loudly: "Your grandpa Xu is here! Still not surrendering!"

Having said that, the Tiger Guards did not stop, and the swords flew together, and each sword would kill an enemy. Xu Chu, the leader, killed people happily, and shouted: "Oh! Oh! Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Your grandpa Xu is here!"

Xu Chu had a great kill here. Fifteen hundred tiger guards marched together. In the blink of an eye, nearly a thousand enemy soldiers were cut down. The remaining enemy soldiers were frightened and dropped their weapons one after another. : "I wait for my wish!"

Seeing the chaos in the enemy's rear and hearing Xu Chuzhi's roar, Gao Shun was overjoyed and shouted: "The friendly army behind is General Xu Chuxu!"

Xu Chu was still waiting to kill again, but the enemy soldiers all knelt down and begged to surrender, so they stopped. Seeing Gao Shun shouting, he knew it was Gao Shun, so he replied: "It is Xu, General Gao, my lord can be with you ?”

After Gao Shun got Xu Chu's affirmation, he felt relieved. The scene of the tiger guards killing the enemy just now really surprised Gao Shun. There were about a thousand enemy soldiers, and nearly a hundred casualties. As soon as the tiger guards arrived, they killed nearly a thousand enemy soldiers, and it seemed that no one was lost.

"Tie up all the surrendered soldiers!" Gao Shun looked at the surrendered soldiers who were kneeling down and begged to surrender. There were about two thousand surrendered soldiers. The number was a bit large. It would be a pity to kill them, but it was better to tie them up more securely.

Xu Chu led all the tiger guards to come forward, and after meeting Gao Shun, he quickly followed the plan he had already made, leaving two thousand miscellaneous servants to guard the surrendered enemy soldiers as coolies, and loaded the food and grass on the baggage cart one by one. The captives brought food and grass directly back to Puyang.

Gao Shun led the remaining 2000 people to kill Suanzao City directly. Xu Chu went to meet Feng Yao first, and then supported the siege of Suanzao City.

Wuchao is not far from Suanzao, only [-] miles away. When the deserters from Wuchao fled back to Suanzao, the generals defending Suanzao were shocked and hurriedly led [-] soldiers to rescue Wuchao, leaving only [-] soldiers to defend the city. , in his view, the enemy soldiers attacking Wuchao were only four thousand, but the defenders had five thousand. Even if they lost their defense, five thousand would fight four thousand, two would fight one, at least two thousand five thousand would be killed, and one thousand remained. Fifth, if you bring [-] fresh troops, twice as many as the opponent, you can win no matter what.

However, he didn't expect to ambush, and led three thousand soldiers out of the city in a hurry, rushing towards Wuchao.

About ten miles away from Suanzao City, there is a forest. Feng Yaozheng led his troops to lie on the other side of the forest, but not in the forest.

General Gao Shun, who led the miscellaneous soldiers, asked puzzledly: "Mr. Feng, why don't you ambush in the woods, the woods are the best terrain for ambush? And the terrain here is flat, and only weeds can cover it. Enemy scouts approaching, will definitely find it.”

Feng Yaodao: "Suanzao is a heavy city, the general who can defend this city must have some skills, even if he is in a hurry, before entering this forest, it is very likely to send scouts to investigate first, if he lies in the forest, he will surely die If it is discovered, the effect of the ambush will be greatly weakened. It is better to lie down here. After the enemy soldiers pass through the woods, they must let go of their vigilance and rush to rescue them. Lead the cavalry to attack from the left first, and then you lead the infantry to attack from the right, and you will easily defeat the enemy reinforcements!"
