The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 114

It was less than a stick of incense time for Yuan Tan to come in. The spies came in one by one and reported the battle between Zhang Liao, Xu Chu and the high officials in the city; The road can be retreated; and the third batch of grain and grass escorted by Wen Chou and Jia Xu has arrived in Liyang——wait.

I couldn't wait any longer, I said sharply; "Brother, from now on, the Youzhou soldiers are going to take over the city defense, you all listen to me and withdraw immediately."

Shenpei and Fengji had already regained their composure, and kept winking at Yuan Shang, indicating that he would wait if he didn't run away now.The judge said righteously; "My lord's life is important. As long as my lord is there, sooner or later, we will be able to make a comeback. This is righteousness, not escape."

Feng Ji also said; "That's right, that's right, the real God of War doesn't mind the gains and losses of a city and a pool—" He winked at Yuan Shang; "Those who achieve great things don't hesitate to tip, and when necessary, they have to give up— —something.” Damn, that means, it’s about abandoning Lao Tzu.Yuan Shang hangs around with this bastard all day long, so he can't learn well. If it wasn't for the big enemy, I would hack him to death.

Yuan Tan looked at his father and said helplessly, "Second brother, I will send my father to Liyang, and I will immediately lead my troops to meet you. You have to take care, we brothers live and die together, and if you have something to do, elder brother will never live alone."

Youzhou soldiers boarded the tower at the same time that Qingzhou soldiers and Jizhou soldiers withdrew.Immediately brought death to Cao's high morale outside the city.Xu Chu wondered why the defenders, who had seen no support, were suddenly so brave, reaching the state of being able to shoot arrows in vain.But Zhang Liao sternly said beside him; "Look, this is Yuan Xi's Youzhou soldier. The main character has finally appeared on the stage. It's a tough battle." When Xu Chu heard that, Yuan Xi, tough fight, thought it was too good, I'll fuck it I like tough battles, but I'm too lazy to pinch soft persimmons.

My anger was burning wildly in my chest. Yuan Tan's recklessness and Yuan Shang's recklessness made it impossible for me to clean up the mess.Just looking at the small town of Cangting, one can tell that Yuan Shang doesn't have any combat command ability at all.Such an important stronghold, without clothes, like a girl, standing in the wind on the bank of the Yellow River, waiting for everyone to trample on it.The gate tower of Cangting is too dilapidated, and there are broken teeth everywhere.The horse path above is quite wide, but there are no tools for defending the city, such as stone mills, kerosene, and lime.There used to be a moat around the city outside the city, but due to the passage of time, the moat has dried up and silted up, and it is no different from a peaceful place. Yuan Shang has seen all this, and he didn't send anyone to dig it to prepare for the battle.How can this be good?

Hao Zhao said that sentence in my ear again; "Young master, we can repel Zhang Liao and Xu Chu, but we can't repel the follow-up troops. The land four to five hundred miles away from Cangting, urban and rural areas, farmland, and main roads, all Lost, Cangting is an isolated city, how to defend it, and what can we do if we defend it? At this moment, we have only one way to go. We retreat to Liyang, and we are confident that as long as there is enough food and we are united, we can beat Cao Cao in Liyang50 Wan Dajun for one month, prevent him from taking a step forward, please think twice."

"Okay, let's evacuate, mother, so that the green hills are left without worrying about no firewood. But, how to evacuate?" I asked Hao Zhao, and I also asked myself.Not to mention the regret in my heart, if Tian Feng, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu had one by my side at this moment, I wouldn't be so at a loss.

"Did you bring tung oil when you came here?"

Hao Zhao nodded; "Sir, do you want to attack with fire?" I smiled wryly; "It's Huo Dun, not Fire Attack, you go and send an order to Hu Che'er, telling him to let the cavalry retreat first, and the infantry go in a team of 500 from the north gate. The three of us led two thousand soldiers to cut off the rear in person."

Hao Zhao said, "It's fine for me to break up with Lao Hu. You can't take risks with your precious body. If you make a mistake, Jizhou will be fine." Hao Zhao said emotionally, his whole body trembled, and tears rolled in his eyes.

"If I don't die, who will move forward." This sentence has been said many times, but I always feel the need to repeat it.

Xu Chu found that the resistance in the city was getting weaker and weaker, and the concentration of arrows had become sporadic, and he laughed loudly; "Wen Yuan, you said how powerful Yuan Xi is, it was a tough battle, it seems that he is too flattering , I think this person is as useless as his Lao Tzu brothers, you see our people have already climbed the tower, is it less than an hour now?"

Feeling something strange, Zhang Liao suddenly shouted, "No, Yuan Xi is going to run away—" Just as he finished speaking, a young general in a fine robe and gold armor appeared on the tower and shouted loudly, "Master Zhang Liao, your defeated general!" If you dare to come to die, I will not accompany you." Zhang Liao shouted: "Go there, the soldiers will follow me into the city." Seeing that the arrows on the tower were not densely packed, Zhang Liao bravely called on the cavalry behind him , followed him to the city wall.The cavalry rushed to the bottom of the city and slashed at the city wall and the city gate with their weapons. In a blink of an eye, they cut a five-six-foot-long opening in the four-foot-thick wooden city gate, and a long line of almost transparent holes appeared on the city wall. mouth.

I nodded to Hao Zhao who was behind me and said, "Put it down, smash down all the fire bricks and wooden guns you brought, it's best to kill the fucking Zhang Liao too, before you leave, I'm going to hurt him, hurry up. "

Zhang Liao brandished a big knife, raised his head and yelled, "Yuan Xi, don't run away if you are fucking capable, do you dare to fight to the death with me, I will kill you today, just wait."

Unexpectedly, he was a little surprised to see that the five hundred crenels were suddenly full of people, and everyone seemed to be holding square things in their hands.This surprise continued between thoughts.The square things in the hands of the defenders standing on the crenel were thrown down.All of a sudden, rocks flew under the city, fireworks continued, and booming explosions sounded one after another, and a large number of soldiers who attacked the city fell down amidst the noise.The people in the city turned their backs on their horses and turned into a mess.Zhang Liao only felt that there were countless iron pins flying around him, and he didn't have time to swing the big knife, exert his martial arts to the limit, swung it away, and blocked the iron water chestnuts that were flying around his body, penetrating everywhere, faster than flying knives outside the body. "Ding ding ding ding" a series of sounds stimulated his eardrums, and he felt as if he was using a big knife to block the raindrops.

The chaos outside the city lasted for about three or five sticks of incense.Zhang Liao's legs, arms, and even his back were stabbed by iron water chestnuts flying all over the place.However, he didn't hurt his vitals, relying on his quick knife skills and courage to avoid death.The first echelon of [-] cavalry brought out by Zhang Liao was miserable.

At Cangting City, horse corpses and human corpses have piled up a hill, and at least three thousand Cao Jun closed their eyes forever.In the space of thirty or forty feet wide, broken arms and limbs, heads cut off in half, internal organs, stomach and intestines are everywhere.Most of the dead warriors or war horses were pierced into a honeycomb shape by the iron water chestnut.The one lying on the ground with its waist bowed, looks like a hedgehog.

The muscles on Zhang Liao's face twitched violently, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yuan Xi, I don't use your head to pay homage to such brothers, they are not raised by humans."

All this happened so fast that the brave and bloodthirsty brother Xu Chu didn't even have time to react. After Zhang Liao rushed over for a while, he heard a burst of thunder and explosions, like thunder one after another, and then Zhang Liao's cavalry came. Surrounded by a puff of white smoke, screams and muffled groans rang out.He didn't even know how to rescue him.

After the fog cleared, Xu Chu saw the tragic scene, but also noticed something that could make him mad - the tower was empty. "Damn it, Yuan Xi really ran away. Brothers, hurry up to the city and chase after me."

The rest of the infantry picked up the shoveling logs on the ground and rammed them frantically. The city gates that had been cut to pieces and were riddled with holes were only two or three times. One of the two city gates, With a deafening roar, he fell to the ground.Zhang Liao, who was guarding the edge of the city, stared at his blood-red eyes, roared, and rushed in first; "Kill." Who are you going to kill?An empty city, not a single soldier.Although Zhang Liao was furious, he still hadn't lost his mind. If Dong Zhuo's subordinates, Li Jue and Guo Si were replaced, they might have slaughtered the city with their troops.

On the official road leading to Liyang from the north gate of Cangting, Hu Che'er and I took the last five hundred soldiers and piled up all the felled fuel that could be found on both sides of the road to a height of two feet and a distance of three feet.The cowhide armor, flags, and underwear worn by the soldiers were all stripped off and thrown into the pyre in front of them.Hu Che'er led someone to pour a layer of tung oil on it.He also took off his armor and underwear and threw them into the woodpile. His upper body was bare, exposing his gnarled muscles, and he stood there like a half-section of a tower made of steel.Sweat flowed from his neck over his black and firm chest, gathered in the crevice of his chest muscles, and flowed into the waist of his trousers.Hu Che'er is a stunned young man, he doesn't care about Zhang Liao and Xu Chu, his buddies never agreed to retreat from the beginning, pulling this face is like a dead father.According to his intention, no matter what, he had to have a fight with Zhang Liao before leaving.It's too useless to run like this, and it's not enough to kill people.

"Young master, if I lead these people to deal with Zhang Liao's thieves, you go first. Don't turn around and let others laugh at our Hebei army if we don't plant it--it will be broken." Hu Che'er said almost pleadingly.

I understand what he means. He is afraid of being laughed at. He just wants to fight Zhang Liao and Xu Chu. He will die vigorously. He doesn't want to be a coward.But now I don't have time to do political work for him, so I glared at him and said, "No, don't talk nonsense, you still don't listen to the general's order." Hu Che'er said with a naive smile; "I just said it casually, son, don't be angry , I just listen."

I ordered the fire to be lit, and the cavalry of Zhang Liao and Xu Chu had already appeared.People on horseback flew by like bats in the night.I sneered and said, "Ignite the horse and prepare to shoot him a round."

A hundred or so fire pockets were thrown into the tung oil, and the fire suddenly burst into the sky.When I first got up, I could still see Zhang Liao and Xu Chu running in the front through the light of the fire.When they got close, they were completely invisible.

Flames ignited on the wide official road, and a wall of fire more than ten feet high blocked the advance of Cao Jun. However, there were still warriors who risked their lives and rushed into the sea of ​​flames, but they were all swallowed by the ruthless flames and tossed in the sea of ​​flames , struggled, and finally turned into a combustion aid, becoming a part of the flame, making the flame even bigger.Hu Che'er sat on the horse cursing and said, "Damn, I can't burn you to death, a bunch of bastards. I'll give you something powerful." He waved his hand, and the five hundred naked soldiers behind him immediately shot the arrows full of bowstrings. When the arrows were shot into the fire, they didn't aim at them, they couldn't see them at all, they just shot indiscriminately.The result of the archery caused screams, and also caused the opponent's bow and arrow to fight back. Several of the soldiers were shot and fell to the ground immediately.

White smoke filled the air, and Hu Che'er panted while wiping his sweat; "My lord, let's retreat." I waved my hand; "Five hundred soldiers, follow and run to Li Yang." Thousands of dancing elves rise up—

Xu Chu was leading his cavalry on the winding road.With a livid face, he looked back at the soldiers behind him as he walked.The eyes that were originally shining with two fierce lights were now staring like a pair of copper bells.A wide mouth stretched to the back of the neck, and the turbid air sprayed from the nose blew the whiskers up.At this time, no one in the team dared to talk to him, and the soldiers all understood the general's temper.When in a bad mood, I like to take out my anger on others.

Although this battle appeared to be a victory on the surface, Xu Chu didn't think so. He felt that his self-esteem had been hit.It cost such a heavy price to attack such a defeated soldier. His old friend Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, were injured.The most irritating thing is that in the end, the whole teacher was forced to retreat, and less than a thousand people died. How the hell did he suffer.It hurts to think about it.I could hardly lift my head to meet people.In his half-life campaign, he has never been so useless
