The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 189

Xingyang.
The group of bees holds the south, Mangling crosses the north, embraces Jingxiang City in the east, and crosses Hulao Pass in the west.Therefore, it is known as "the belt of the eastern capital, the throat of the Sanqin".It has been a battleground for military strategists in ancient times.Xingyang is adjacent to Sishuiguan and Huaihe River in the east, Mangshan Mountain in the north and the Yellow River, Suohe River in the south and Songshan Mountain in the south, and Luoyang in the west through Hulao.Wu Guangzhan died here, and Xiang Yu and Liu Bang divided the world with the boundary as the boundary.The gap is within the territory of Xingyang.If you want to enter Luoyang, you must capture Xingyang, otherwise Cao Jun will inevitably flee from here to Guanzhong like Dong Zhuo.When the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao suffered a defeat in Xingyang.It was this Xu Rong who defeated Cao Cao.

Li Dian reined in his troops to attack Xingyang.Sun Guan, Wu Dun, and Yin Li asked for orders to attack Chenggao, and Peng An and Zhang Kai attacked Aocang. Once these three places were broken, Hulao and Baoshui Pass would lose all foreign aid.

Three days later, Sun Guan's soldiers came to Chenggao's guard, Zhao Cen, to fight. The two generals did not have to fight each other, but Sun Guan cut him off his horse with a single knife.The Hebei army took advantage of the situation and rushed into the city.Peng An and Zhang Kai were more relaxed. The one who guarded Aocang was Hu Zhen, who loved to surrender. This kid had lived for more than 40 years and had no other skills.I heard that Cao Cao was defeated at Guandu, and Yuan's army attacked with [-] troops. Without further ado, he offered the city and surrendered.

Li Dian has always looked down on Xu Rong. Although Xu Rong once defeated Cao Cao and killed the general Li Tao, since Xu Rong surrendered, Cao Cao has not reused him, probably because he can't forget the old enmity.So Xu Rong has always been a prefect, and has been in this position for 30 years, working hard.Many of Xu Rong's old subordinates have become governors, but he is still a prefect.As a partial general, Li Dian was the Marquis of Xincheng, and his official position was much higher than him.How can you put him in your eyes.

Reining in his horse carelessly to the foot of the city, Li Dian yelled at Xu Rong on the top of the wall: "Xu Rong, your grandma, your general has arrived, and if you haven't opened the door to greet him, when will you wait?"

Seeing Li Dian's complacent look, Xu Rong yelled, "Fuck your grandma, you traitorous dog, come on, shoot me an arrow." Li Dian raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute, Xu Rong, Cao Cao has already been defeated, why don't you fight?" Is it worth it to work for him?" Xu Rong was furious: "I, Xu Rong, am not a slave like you."

Li Dian looked at the three-foot-high Xingyang city tower built of stone, and pointed to the [-] army behind him: "Xu Rong, you have only [-] soldiers under your command. If you want to resist a million Hebei army, you will be overwhelmed."

It is true that Xu Rong only had 500 defenders under his command. There were two gates in the east and west of Xingyang City, each with an average of [-] soldiers.There were six enemy towers built on the city, and three thousand arrows were chopped off. Xu Rong used all these people as crossbowmen, and there was no reserve team in his hands.In other words, if you want to fight a siege battle, one dead arrow will free up one arrow.

Li Dian pointed at the top of the wall and laughed: "Xu Rong, if you are a man, come down and fight to the death with me." Xu Rong stroked his gray beard, thinking that he would not be the opponent if he was singled out.Rolling eyes: "Li Dian, if you are a fucking man, come into the city alone and fight to the death with me."

Huo Nu is the Lieutenant General of Li Dian, who was impatient to hear behind him, and kindly reminded: "General, what are you talking about with him - if you don't surrender, then attack the city."

Li Dian thought, that's right, I am a surrendered general, don't make the lord suspicious.Then he gave Xu Rong an ultimatum; "Xu Rong, if you don't surrender, I will attack the city with troops. At that time, even if you call me uncle, I will not be able to save you."

Xu Rong sneered: "Stop talking nonsense, try to attack the city—"

Li Dian pointed at the tower and said fiercely: "You said this, don't fucking regret it." With a wave of his hand, five neat rows of scull shields behind him covered countless archers and began to move forward——

Xu Rong put all his eggs in one basket; "Shoot the arrow—"

Li Dian was defeated, and a small city like a small bullet blocked the way of my two generals successively, consuming nearly [-] warriors of the Hebei Army.Damn, Xu Rong is really good, this general will meet you in person.

Li Dian was dejected, and kept chanting on the horse: "My lord, I don't believe you still let me take the lead in a while, Xu Rong can be so powerful?"

There was a booming chariot behind me, and I patted Li Dian on the shoulder next to me and said, "I caught Xu Rong in a while, and I will ask him to kowtow to you and admit his mistake, just watch."

A small city of 5000 people wants to stop my army of 50, wishful thinking, not to mention Xu Rong, even if Sun Wuzi is here, let him obediently get out of the way.

Xu Rong was exhausted these two days, Yuan Jun attacked Xingyang like crazy, and must tear this hole open.One wave retreated, another wave came again, endlessly.Standing on the city tower, he saw the billowing smoke and flying flags from a distance, and knew that it was a large group of troops coming. Unfortunately, the person he sent to Luoyang to ask for rescue didn't even have any news.

Hao Zhao's Ballista Independent Division, ten miles away from the city tower, surpassed the shield soldiers and became the vanguard.The newly expanded Ballista Independent Division's 150 shuttle ballista carts and [-] stone throwing carts that can launch a hundred catties of boulders to a distance of [-] feet are arranged in four rows on the outer edge of the rushing moat in Xingyang City.Countless huge crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm raised their heads and aimed at the head of Xingyang city.Behind the ballista and the stone chariot, there was a mass of infantry heads, which could not be seen at a glance.The strong wind blows, blows the flag, and the sound of hula hula wears out the cocoons of the eardrums.

This time the siege was mainly to attack Sishuiguan to train troops.There is no room for negotiation, Xu Rong will not wait until today if he wants to surrender.Hao Zhao shook his arms, the scales on the armor creaked, and clasped his fists loudly: "My lord, the independent ballista division is ready, please let me know."

I said lightly: "Siege the city."

Xu Rong asked himself that he was also an expert in offensive and defensive warfare.He also knew about Yuan Jun's use of the flying shuttle ballista and the hair stone cart.But unexpectedly, Yuan Jun turned the chariot unit into a special single combat unit, and the lineup became so powerful in a few years.This thing is used to attack the city?Xu Rong was a little puzzled, it was almost the same in field battles, siege?A string of question marks and exclamation marks in his mind hadn't disappeared yet, and the red flag on Hao Zhao's hand over there had been lowered: "Launch—"

Whoosh, whoosh, like a torrential rain formed by rows of iron guns. The torrential rain was also mixed with powerful hail. The city of Xingyang, with only four thousand defenders left, immediately became a dead place——

The shocking explosive power produced by the giant crossbow that can only be activated by a few dozen people almost destroyed half of this medium-sized city.On the crossbow machine, there are 120 Jin giant crossbows, each crossbow has seven arrows, a total of ten crossbows, and each one fires seventy arrows at a time.Five hundred units, contract thirty-five thousand.In addition to the 300 yuan meteorite falling like a hundred catties of flying stones that can spark sparks in the air, it is fired five times in a row, and the power can be imagined.Xingyang City seemed to have been hit by an earthquake suddenly, and the city towers were shaking.The famous general Xu Rong was pierced by a seven-foot-long arrow before he woke up.Before he died, he saw the giant arrow that pierced through him, slammed into the stone wall of the city wall, and sank half of the spear head, his eyes were full of horror.The arrows in Xingyang City were chopped down by countless huge arrows, and more than a dozen places were flattened.

Guandu was defeated, Xingyang fell, and Yuan Jun was on the front line of Sishui Hulao, expanding the territory for three hundred miles.The north trembled, the whole world trembled, and the princes turned into restless monkeys, jumping up and down, scratching their ears and cheeks, and at a loss.

The situation in Xuzhou suddenly changed. Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong, who had always been known as wise generals, seemed to have lost their backbone and their minds were blank.

Jiang Yiqu and Tian Feng studied the situation and decided to divide their troops into two groups. Jiang Yiqu attacked Xiaopei, and Tian Feng led Zhang Wu, Chen Sun, and Suigu to attack Pengcheng.

Jiang Yiqu scolded under Xiaopei City, while Xuzhou generals Zhang Ying and Ruo Rong stood firm.At night, a spy was captured, Jiang Yiqu asked, and said that Chen Deng had sent a letter to Zhang Ying.Jiang Yiqu opened the letter and saw that it read: "At the third watch, use fire as a sign, and cooperate with the inside and outside to defeat the enemy soldiers."

Jiang Yiqu was overjoyed, God helped me, Chen Deng deserved to be unlucky, he got carried away and didn't think too much about it.He ordered people to lie in ambush on the main road leading to Pengcheng to intercept Chen Deng's reinforcements, while he led his troops out of the stronghold, lurking in the fork road three miles outside the city, waiting for Zhang Yingruorong to attack the stronghold.The third watch had passed and the fire hadn't been seen yet. Jiang Yiqu thought to himself, Chen Deng might have overslept.Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a shout of killing from a distance. Jiang Yiqu subjectively judged that the ambushes on the main road must have succeeded. Why didn't he see the fire, and he didn't see troops from the city to respond?While he was wondering, the deputy general suddenly reminded: "The general is on fire, but which direction seems to be the direction of our army's camp." Jiang Yiqu looked back, surprised; "Damn, I was fooled, the back road was copied Hurry up, go back to the army."

After a while of jumping around and running wildly, Jiang Yiqu led his army to the main road. Suddenly, the opposite side was full of fire, and it was clear that the enemy army was coming.Killing and killing, I heard many people shouting: "Stop, stop, it's my own, it's my own—"

Jiang Yiqu was so bloody that he heard his own people!What kind of man swung his knife and killed two soldiers, and suddenly the sword was caught by an iron halberd; "Old Jiang, you are crazy."

Jiang Yiqu opened his blood-red eyes and took a look: "Suigu, why is it you? How did you come here?" After regaining his composure from the bloodthirsty, there was a groan in his throat: "It's broken, it was tricked. Did you encounter an ambush just now?"

Sui Gu said: "That's right, how do you know." Jiang Yiqu's facial muscles twitched: "Where are the ambush soldiers?"

Sui Gu boasted: "I led the army to hack and kill those ambushes, half of them were reimbursed, and I left a brigade of troops to entangle with them—"

Jiang Yiqu looked at his concubine as if mourning: "It's over, it's all over."

Sui Gu was still there bragging: "It's definitely over, let me tell you, none of those ambush soldiers will survive, and my team will definitely drive them all to death. The soldiers we lead are super powerful, fucking hateful Cao soldiers—— "

Jiang Yiqu's eyes turned red: "That's enough, that's not Cao Bing, it's the fucking Yuan Bing, who was sent by me. We fell for it."

Sui Gu was sweating anxiously, and the soldiers around him were still fighting desperately. He said hysterically, "Why did you fall into the trap? Didn't you write a letter? The letter was sent by your personal captain. I recognize it." He can't be wrong."

Jiang Yiqu yelled: "You son of a bitch, bastard, I said I haven't seen him all day, so he became a traitor and ran away. Wait until I catch him—stop beating, stop, stop."

The two were fighting and killing, when suddenly the city of Pengcheng burst into flames, dozens of thick smoke mixed with crackling sparks flew into the sky, and the night that was originally like the bottom of a pot was blackened even more.Immediately, people screamed and neighed in Xiaopei City, the city gate opened, and countless cavalry and infantry rushed out all of a sudden, holding torches and killing on the road here.Jiang Yiqu and Sui Gu were taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood what was going on. The soldiers under them were still fighting fiercely, panting, bleeding and sweating to serve the country, and most of them didn't know that they were killing each other.It is impossible for the two generals to defend against the enemy, and it is even more impossible to withdraw their troops back.Shouting out loud, he was stunned, but no one paid any attention, watching the Xuzhou soldiers who came with hatred come into battle, killing everyone they saw in the chaos, and beheading everyone they met.The soldiers in Hebei suffered countless casualties. They fought until the light of day was dim and people could be seen. Then they could see the enemy and us clearly from the clothes and launched a counterattack.Jiang Yiqu and Sui Gu were filled with remorse, and they fought wildly for a while. They took the few hundred remaining soldiers and fled to the nearest camp. When they got there, they were dumbfounded. All that was left was a blackened stake and a red chain.The pursuers came again, and there was a shout of killing behind him: "Jiang Yiqu can't run away, brothers, you are a bitch, you should be made a marquis and worship minister—" Jiang Yiqu thought while running, am I that valuable?Fenghou worships the prime minister!There was actually a sense of pride in my heart, which surged up involuntarily.

The two ran wildly all the way, walked for a while, turned around and killed for a while, and fled in embarrassment.There was a cloud of dust, with an army blocking the way in front, Sui Gu looked at Jiang Yiqu and smiled wryly: "Forget it, forget it, our brothers deserve to be unlucky, and we don't want to live today." Jiang Yiqu bravely rushed to the door, his blood boiled like boiling water, and he vomited. He spit out: "I'm dying to pull a hundred backs, fight." Sui Gu laughed boldly: "I also pulled him 150, [-] more than you." Jiang Yiqu raised his knife and galloped his horse, saying boldly: "Look at Bibi—" He rushed straight towards the incoming army, with a domineering posture, as if there were thousands of troops behind him, but in fact there were only a dozen or so brothers.

Not to be outdone, Sui Gu chased after him. He didn't want to lose to Jiang Yiqu.Jiang Yiqu pounced on the enemy line like a hooligan who found a beautiful woman, and suddenly heard the person facing him shout: "Old Jiang, you are still alive, that's great." Jiang Yiqu's knife almost fell to the ground, raised his head, and shouted: "Chen! Sun, good brother, you are finally here." Sui Gu rushed forward, howling cursingly: "Old Jiang, don't talk nonsense with them, you've done shit, kill—" Jiang Yiqu didn't respond.

Sui Gu looked up and said, "Chen Sun, you bastard—good brother, you are here." Tian Feng saw the thick smoke billowing from Pengcheng to cover the sun in the village, and knew it was a signal of wolf smoke, thinking, this wolf smoke It must be to cooperate with Cao Jun in Xiaopei City. Could it be that they want to pinch our army.A thunderbolt flashed in his mind, and he remembered the letter he received today, which said that Cao Bing was going to rob the camp at night and asked for reinforcements.He was skeptical at first, but firstly, the person who sent the letter was Jiang Yiqu's personal captain, who was very reliable, and secondly, the style of writing resembled Jiang Yiqu's elementary school education level, so he believed it.Jiang Yiqu's letters are generally written by others, so there is no way to check the handwriting.When the fire broke out on the top of the city, Tian Feng immediately knew that he had fallen for the trick, causing him, a big Confucian shrew who had recuperated, to scold the street: "Damn it, the trick is on me—"

Chen Sun set up a formation on the main road to wait for work, ready to turn defeat into victory, but he didn't know that the pursuers were very slippery. When he saw the heavy troops blocking the road ahead, he realized that it was not good.Chen Sun wanted to chase, Jiang Yiqu pulled him and said: "Okay, brother, the person lost today is big enough, don't fall into an ambush, this Chen Deng bastard, why don't I ride all his little wives all over again?" , not surnamed Jiang." Sui Gu gritted his teeth and said, "I also ride—"

On the contrary, Tian Feng became more calm. It is interesting to fight with the people in the deep city. This Chen Deng is really not simple, no wonder he turned Lu Bu around.Fortunately, his dead ghost father is turned up, otherwise it would be more troublesome.Xuzhou's troubles don't stop there, there is Dianman.Jiang Yiqu fought with him once, and praised him: "This kid is just like his father. He is a lifeless fool. He is even worse than that. A pair of iron halberds make the situation change, and it is hard to resist. I am not his." Opponent." Tian Feng knew very well that Jiang Yiqu's martial arts and Zhang He's brother, he couldn't beat him, and the rest of Suigu Zhang Wu and others were even more free.What can I do?
Military strikes have not worked, let's try political skills.Tian Feng wrote a letter and shot it into the city, and asked Chen Deng to meet him. In the letter, he said that Cao Jun was defeated and devastated.Chen Deng is a smooth person. At the same time, he also understands Prime Minister Cao's tenacity and determination. He knows that Prime Minister Cao will not collapse like Yuan Shao, and he will definitely make a comeback.So he replied in a polite tone, criticizing Tian Feng's words one by one, with strict words, concise and concise words, and just right measure, Tian Feng praised his literary talent very much.

Tian Feng asked him to meet before the battle, and Chen Deng pointed at Tian Feng on the top of the wall and sneered: "You want to use tricks to separate me from the prime minister. You see that Chen Deng is a three-year-old who is easy to deceive." Tian Feng is indeed He wanted to drive a wedge between Cao Cao and Chen Deng, but he didn't expect to be blatantly pointed out, and Chen Deng was praised in his heart.
