The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 67

Liaoxi people are wild in nature, and they are also strong. After staying in the bitter cold place outside the Great Wall for a long time, they will be somewhat contaminated with barbarian habits. They are very domineering in life, work, and fighting.Guo Jia likes this kind of army very much, leading troops to fight, this kind of army makes the commander feel very comfortable and at ease.Tian Chou sent him three thousand elite soldiers to join the army, Su Shu and Guo Jia.

After Guo Jia arrived at Xu Wushan and set up camp, spies came to report that they had found a dozen Wuhuan cavalrymen coming from Youzhou.Guo Jia said, "Catch the one alive."

Hu Che'er hadn't killed anyone for a while, and he was very itchy, so he volunteered and went to arrest him.Zhang Xiu stopped him and said, "You can hear clearly, Mr. Guo said he wants to live." Hu Che'er was a little bit embarrassed, he had never done this before, and it was much easier for him to die .It's hard to return, he hasn't fought for a long time, but he still agreed; "General and sir, please stay here for a while, and come when you go."

Hu Che'er did come back after going there, and captured the Wuhuan soldiers alive without even a stick of incense.Hu Che'er was very upset. With Hadou in one hand, he broke into the camp of the Chinese army, and threw a "Haduo" who was covered in bruises, bared his teeth, and howled like ghosts and wolves on the ground, and said in a disappointing way; I caught it back, what a disappointment, I thought the Wuhuan soldiers were very powerful, but I didn't expect that they were all weak bones, they surrendered before fighting, it's boring, boring."

Guo Jia looked at the beautiful Wuhuan boy 'Haduo' who was covered in blood on the ground, with injuries on his hands and arms, and blurted out; "It's still called not hitting."

Hu Che'er was stunned and said with a wry smile, "Sir, I'm wronged, I didn't hit this." Guo Jia wondered if they were attacked on the way.Then he asked Haduo, "Who are you?" After Guo Jia finished asking, he smiled wryly, thinking that he must not understand, since he doesn't understand Xianbei, how can he ask questions.Who knew that the person in front of him turned out to be proficient in Chinese.

Hu Che'er carried Haduo in, and threw him on the ground again. As soon as the whip wound on Haduo's body touched the ground, the pain immediately penetrated into the bone marrow, and he gritted his teeth and howled on the ground.Guo Jia sighed inwardly, this Hu Che'er was too ruthless.

At this time, Haduo hated Wu Yan to his grandma's house, thinking that Wu Yan is an old dog, I will not be a human being if I don't take revenge.When he heard Guo Jia asking him, he immediately stopped crying, raised his head from the ground, gritted his teeth and stared, and shouted loudly: "Are you Han people? I want to surrender. I want to help you fight Wuyan. I must surrender. I beg you."

Guo Jia was dumbfounded. He surrendered before he persuaded him to surrender. Didn't he say that the Wuhuan people are very brave?How can there be such pustules.And this person can speak Chinese——

Haduo struggled to stand up, knelt on the ground and kowtowed like garlic; "Your Excellency of the Han Dynasty, please let me surrender, I will help you kill Wu Yan, please." Guo Jia thought for a while and said; " Why did you surrender to me, you are from Wuhuan." Thinking of the inhuman abuse he had suffered, Haduo couldn't help feeling sad, and couldn't help howling ghostly; "My lord—Wuyan, that bastard, killed me It’s hard, look at my injuries, all thanks to him, the villain is at odds with him in this life. Please help me.” He lay on the ground crying as if his own father had died, not to mention how miserable he was; “I will definitely If you want to surrender, you must surrender—" Seeing that, if Guo Jia doesn't let him surrender, he will cry to death.

Guo Jia's eyes lit up; "You said that this injury was caused by Wu Yan." Haduo nodded repeatedly.Guo Jian wondered, "Aren't you afraid of death if you are still riding a horse with such a serious injury?" Haduo thought to himself that I knew I would die like this, but there was nothing I could do.He said in grief and indignation: "This is also a gift from Bai Wuyan, who asked me to go to the Great Chanyu to ask for reinforcements." Guo Jia stood up suddenly as if he had been scalded by a branding iron, and said loudly: "Why do you ask for help?" Reinforcements." Haddo was too frightened by him to cry out, wondering if I had said something wrong, and why he was so excited.Haddo dared to recount the battle of the Neverending City.After hearing this, Guo Jia waved his hands without saying a word, "Take him down and find a doctor to treat his injuries." Haduo was dragged down like a dead dog by Hu Che'er again.Haduo was thinking in his heart, besides Wu Yan, the second person I hate is this bastard.

Haduo left, Zhang Xiu came up and said, "Could it be a bitter trick?" Guo Jia shook his head and said, "No, it's true." Zhang Xiu was surprised; "Why do you know that?" Guo Jia said, "Because Wu Yan didn't I don’t know, we crossed the border from western Liaoning to sneak attack on Xu Wushan, and secondly, it’s at least two days’ journey from the endless city to here, at that time we were still in western Liaoning, so how could Wu Yan know the foresight.”

Zhang Xiu listened rationally, nodded and said, "It's useless to keep this person, just kill him." Guo Jia hurriedly stopped him; "It's not that it's useless, but it's very useful."

Although it's summer, it's still a bit chilly. The weather in Yandu in the north is different from other places.As soon as Zhou Cang finished his meal, he rolled up his trousers and sat at the door of the prefect's mansion to bask in the sun, while watching the refugees clamoring for the porridge again.He stroked his newly full and bulging stomach, feeling a burst of pride in his heart.He thought to himself, this time, if he made a deal with this Yuan Xi, he would never have to drink that useless yellow rice gruel again.

When it was dark, Wen Chou came to see me. He said he was very worried. It took about fifteen or six days to come to Youzhou including the road. I don’t know what happened to Guandu.Actually, I was more worried than he was, especially since I had no idea what was going to happen there.I calculated the time, and if the matter in Youzhou can be resolved within a month or two, the army can still be sent across quickly.At that time, as long as Xu You is slaughtered, the victory or defeat is still unknown.If everything goes well and nothing goes wrong, the battle at Youbeiping should come to an end very soon. At that time, as long as people are sent to guard Xu Wushan and temporarily block Tadun's offensive, they can spare troops to help Guandu.But the most important thing is that it seems that it is not easy to deal with the powerful Xiongnu soldiers. Their combat effectiveness seems to be much stronger than Wuhuan.

The reason why Xian Yufu was able to keep Jicheng was that he didn’t have much knowledge, so he didn’t go to war, let you beat and abuse him however you want, I just didn’t send out one step at a time, this would reduce the lethality of the Huns’ cavalry and shooting. After a long time, the Huns can also be dragged down, but it is impossible to win a quick battle.I can't wait, I must rush to Guandu as soon as possible, but I have to think of a way to defeat the Hun cavalry in one fell swoop.After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't pay attention, so I had to go to Jia Xu, but when Jia Xu heard that I was going to take the initiative to fight, he immediately objected, saying that there was no chance of winning at all.I asked him to come up with a plan, but he shook his head like a rattle, saying that judging from the current situation, he had no idea at all.Not to mention Xian Yufu, he was firmly opposed to taking the initiative to attack.Wen Chou and I don't understand the fighting methods of the Huns at all, so we will definitely lose if we rush into the battle.

I sat in front of the window thinking about the pros and cons and weighed the pros and cons. I decided to go back to Guandu first, but Youzhou had to settle down well, otherwise the Huns would steal the way, and Jizhou was also in danger.The orange-yellow sun rose from the east, and in the twilight of the morning, I, who hadn't slept all night, heard a burst of trumpets.Wen Chou put on his helmet and crown, ran in with a gun in his hand and said, "My lord, the Huns are attacking the city again."

I shivered, stood up, didn't wear any armor, picked up a fierce gun and said, "Let's go up to the tower." Wen Chou hesitated for a moment, wanting me to wear armor, I shook my head, and walked past him, Jump on horseback.Wen Chou also got on his horse and said, "Yesterday, that Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were dragged away by the prefect Xianyu to defend the city. When they heard that they were going to kill the Huns, they were very excited and kept thanking the prefect. I don’t know what death is.” I chuckled and thought to myself, these two have lived in Youzhou for a long time, and they are used to the brutality of the Huns soldiers, so they hate them so much, I wish I could kill a few every day to vent my anger.

Jicheng has always been said to be the strongest city in Youzhou. The city walls here have been reinforced with rammed earth and are as high as ten feet, comparable to Jizhou.There are 98 crenels at the four gates and [-] enemy towers. There are guard gates at the east and west gates, and there are two condescending archery towers on the gates.Xian Yufu ingeniously installed a stone cart on the watchtower.This kind of stone cart with a spring at the bottom, which resembles a spoon, can directly project a small stone dozens of feet away, and land directly in the densely populated enemy formation, bringing an immeasurable blow to the enemy.There is a moat outside the urn city, and a suspension bridge is built.

Such a super strong city, coupled with sufficient soldiers, food and grass, is not easy for anyone to attack.But today's situation seems to be a little different from the past.Even Xian Yufu, who has always been very calm, panicked. Wen Chou and I just arrived at the base of the city, and when we heard the loud shouts of killing, the fat man ran over quickly and said, "Master, it's not good, today's The situation is a bit wrong. Shi Ma Teng, governor of Xiliang, actually sent troops to assist the Huns in attacking the city, and brought a lot of siege tools. The Huns' morale increased greatly, and our army suffered heavy casualties—"

I was surprised and said: "Ma Teng—how is this possible—he is hundreds of thousands of miles away from here, how could he come here?" The white horse, riding side by side with King Zuo Xian of the Xiongnu is Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi, the eldest son of Ma Teng." In my two ears, there was a thunderous explosion, Ma Chao, King Zuo Xian of the Xiongnu.Needless to say, Ma Chao, this Xiongnu Zuo Xianwang is not a stranger, I remember that he should be the husband of Senior Sister Cai Yan in the Huns.

As soon as I climbed the tower, I immediately understood what Xian Yufu meant by heavy casualties.The Xiliang Qiang soldiers of the Huns and Ma Chao were indeed much more ruthless than Sun Ce's Jiangdong soldiers. The tragedy shown in this offensive and defensive battle was not comparable to the Battle of Hefei.

Wen Chou and I saw the most horrific scene. 10,000+ aliens in cowhide armor, including the strong army led by Ma Chao and the Huns, surrounded the north gate of Jicheng so tightly that even mosquitoes and flies could pass through it. don't go.The roar of the soldiers and the sound of running like thunder are enough to pierce the eardrums of people.The fluttering banners stretched for dozens of miles, covering Jicheng like a big cloak.

Dark clouds are pressing down on the city to destroy it.Really worthy of the name
The bows and arrows shot at each other still covered the sky and the sun, but this condescension did not allow our army to take advantage of it. On the contrary, soldiers standing on the crenels sometimes fell from the tower with arrows.Xian Yufu probably had experienced the Huns' strong bows and crossbows and shooting accuracy long ago, so he deployed nearly [-] soldiers on each crenel. Make it up.But it's useless. Compared with the Huns, our army's bows and arrows are like toys in the hands of children. They are too far behind in terms of speed, range and accuracy.For example, if a Xiongnu soldier and a Youzhou soldier find each other at the same time and shoot at each other at the same time, the Youzhou soldier will definitely be shot through the throat, and the arrow he shoots may fall in front of the Hun soldier. One step away, the gap is so big that it cannot be described in words.The only thing that caused some trouble to the Huns was the stone chariot mounted on the two watchtowers. The power of this kind of car was really extraordinary. The four soldiers on the watchtower fired at the frequency of more than ten times per incense stick to the Huns. Throwing at the densest place in the camp, every stone will hit one or two or three targets fifty or sixty feet away.

In the rain of arrows, I saw the legendary 'Jin Ma Chao' and King Zuo Xian of the Huns. I don't know what the hell his name is.

It was too far away to see Ma Chao's face clearly. He had a majestic silhouette, with a red cape, a white robe and white armor, a spear in his hand, and a sword on his waist.Zuo Xianwang is wearing a cowhide gold armor, the breastplate on his chest is shining brightly, the pheasant cherry on his head is swaying in the wind, and Ma Chao is talking and laughing while pointing at the gate tower on horseback.
I noticed that it was not the Xiongnu soldiers who charged into the battle this time, but the mixed Qiang and Han regiments in Xiliang, that is, the army led by Ma Chao, a shameless little traitor.This bastard is willing to work as a running dog for the Huns. I really can't figure out why he came here suddenly.The siege of the Xiliang army was much stronger than the Huns who could only ride horses.No wonder Xian Yufu couldn't hold his breath anymore.

Ma Chao's soldiers, under the threat of retreating and slashing, attacked the gate of Jicheng one after another like a wave, while the Huns behind them just shot arrows.Rows of fierce and bloody arrows passed over the heads of Ma Chaojun soldiers and shot at the defenders on the city wall.This tactic is very effective. It uses the Xiongnu's bow and arrow advantage to restrain the energy of Youzhou soldiers, so as to achieve the miraculous effect of covering Xiliang's siege troops.The defenders on the city wall had to guard against strong bows and crossbows, and at the same time they had to deal with it. The ladders that Xiliang soldiers put up on the top of the city were already a bit stretched.

More than a dozen ladders were defeated by rolling wood, rocks and kerosene lime powder, and a dozen more were built. The bravery of the Qiang and Hun soldiers left me dumbfounded.The casualties of our army are getting bigger and bigger, and they are so big that they can't be supplemented. We must order our own personal guards to bear the work of carrying the corpses.Otherwise, as soon as the soldiers lift their feet, they will trip over the piles of corpses.

After repeated failures, the Xiliang soldiers rushed to the city wall like crazy, and slashed at the city wall with their weapons. After a short time, the city wall was cut with a gap of two or three feet. The Qiang soldiers rushed like a tide, Come in through that opening.I was taken aback, and said to Wen Chou, "I'll take my soldiers down and block the hole, and I wish you to organize people and prepare to repair it." Wen Chou was dumbfounded, it was more difficult than leading fifty cavalry to attack the Huns' royal court.Building walls while fighting, my mother?
Zhou Cang just ran over barefoot from a crenel in the city at this time, he was not good at archery, so he stood there for a long time anxiously trying to kill no one.At this time, I saw someone rushing into the city and ran over and said, "My lord, I'm going too."

I beckoned and led the people down the city wall.
