Chapter 889: Let's go down first
Jia Xu immediately took out a map, cautiously handed it to Zhou Cang, and then said: "General Zhou, this is a map of Yuzhou that our army spies probed, which records in detail the road conditions along the way from here to Shouchun, as well as the location of the dam. There is also a return route designed by the old man for General Zhou, which General Zhou can choose according to different things. This was obtained by our army after sacrificing a lot of brothers, and General Zhou had to save it. ”
This map was asked by Jia Xu to Li Gui when he was in Luoyang, which shows that Jia Xu wanted to calculate Shouchun a long time ago. The scheming Jia Xu also designed a way back for Zhou Cang, and this carefulness is really amazing.
Gao Ran was confused, he often had a smile together during this time, and he didn't find that he had such a thing in his hand.
Jia Xu had never told anyone else about this, so Gao Ran naturally didn't know.
Zhou Cang took the map handed over by Jia Xu with a little trembling. Zhou Cang is a little stupid, that is a common problem of most generals, but it doesn't mean that he is stupid. It must have taken a lot of effort to get this map, and Zhou Cang felt that what he had inherited was not a map, but the lives of countless comrades.
"The last general will definitely live up to the expectations of adults and generals!" Zhou Cang promised on behalf of the improvised force.
"Remember! Cao Jun must not be allowed to find out! Without further ado, let's go! Jia Xu said.
"I'll do as I was told!" All the soldiers immediately responded, and then immediately turned and headed out of the camp.
Jia Xu has already put all kinds of weapons and logistics support that this army needs, and there is no need for Zhou Cang and the others to return to their camp tents, and the things prepared will only be more and not less. From this point, you can see how carefully Jia Xu calculated.
Zhou Cang was suspicious of Jia Xu at first for letting him and the others set off immediately. I didn't prepare for the consumption of this weapon, so how should I fight? Seeing so many preparations now, these soldiers immediately felt at ease, took their share of things, and immediately rushed towards the established destination.
In order to prevent the defenders of Hongxian from discovering it, Zhou Cang did not use torches for lighting, which was regarded as discrediting.
The defenders of Hongxian County really didn't notice this. They all cowered on the city wall, looking at Liu Jun's camp from afar. It would be strange if they could see it from such a distance.
After Zhou Cang and the others left, Jia Xu leisurely prepared to enter the big tent of the Chinese army.
Gao Ran was still a little uneasy, so he asked, "Sir, the last general is really a little uneasy." ”
"What's not to worry about! Have a good rest, and tomorrow we will attack Hongxian and bring Cao Cao over! After Jia Xu finished speaking, he went back to rest, and he didn't care about Gao Lan at all.
Gao Ran suddenly felt a burst of sadness, daring to be worried all the time, Jia Xu had absolute confidence.
"I just don't know if it will really go as smoothly as Mr. Wenhe said." Gao Ran could only put this kind of words in his heart.
After resting for the night, Liu Jun's soldiers came out in good spirits and prepared for battle. On the contrary, the defenders of Hongxian County did not rest all night, and they were really worried that Liu Jun would give them a night battle while they were resting, and with such a small number of soldiers and horses, they really couldn't resist Liu Jun's attack. The guard also knew that he would go on like this, and it was estimated that it would not be long before the county seat of Hongxian County would become owned by Liu Jun, and he had been hoping that Cao Cao could send more troops to assist, so as not to end up with a city lost.
But the defenders waited until dawn, and the expected defenders never appeared.
At this time, Liu Jun's brand new attack had been launched. Different from last night's state, this time Liu Jun was not only in good spirits, but also all kinds of preparations were very sufficient, Gao Ran also ordered the craftsmen in the army to build some siege equipment overnight, ready to take the county seat of Hongxian today.
The defenders of Hongxian County are all a little desperate, the enemy outside the city is so strong, they can hold it with a strong city defense, but I don't know how long they can hold it.
Liu Jun's wave of seemingly ferocious attacks quickly killed Hongxian.
The defenders of Hongxian County were in a panic and picked up their weapons to prepare for battle.
But this time, Liu Jun did not directly start the battle of the city, but the sword and shield soldiers covered in front, and a large number of archers drew their bows and arrows in the back, and finally the siege equipment.
Gao Ran knew about the defensive strength of Hongxian County during last night's attack. The walls were very strong, and the defensive area was relatively small, and the siege infantry wanted to climb the walls, and it was easy for the defenders to concentrate their forces to resist. If he continued last night's attack, Gao Ran would no longer have to sit in the position of general.
Gao Ran discovered an Achilles' heel of the Hongxian defenders, that is, their attack range was very narrow. Although it can ensure that the defenders can concentrate superior forces to defend against several times their own enemies when their strength is not allowed. But again, the scope of their blows is just as narrow. That's their weakness. Gao Ran decisively chose a long-range attack, Liu Jun's archers were more than the entire number of defenders, and they could completely suppress the defenders.
Sure enough, when the defenders saw so many archers, they were all confused. If the opponent directly uses equipment such as ladders to attack the city, and the defenders think that they can still block it for a while, but the opponent uses bows and arrows to strike from a distance, then how can they fight? The other side has more archers than they do.
"Boom!" With the sound of neat strings, feather arrows shot like heavy rain on the city wall of Hongxian County.
"Ahh In such an instant, I don't know how many defenders were killed by feathered arrows.
"Get cover! Archers fight back! "The Hongxian guard kept commanding his soldiers, but he could only struggle to the death now.
The defenders did as the defenders ordered, and they all found a place to hide. But there was so little physical cover on the walls. Some of the soldiers hid at the base of the wall, and some carried shields over their heads. If there is no place or anything to block the feather arrows, they will lift the corpses of their dead comrades to cover their own safety. Using the corpses of their comrades-in-arms as a shield is an insult to the corpse. But this is the battlefield, either you die or I live, since they are all dead, it is an object, it should be used or used. The defenders are accustomed to life and death, and it is the royal way to live on the battlefield, and etiquette, righteousness and shame can keep them from being hit by Liu Jun's feather arrows and save their lives? Those who believe these nonsense may be being used as shields now.
The archers of the defenders did not dare to take the lead, their numbers were too small, and the counterattack they could give was pitiful. It's not that they don't give strength, but that the other party has so many feathered arrows, and if they come up, there is a chance that they will die. They don't want to die, either.
This kind of situation is what Gao Ran wants, the defenders of Hongxian County must not have rested well last night, and now they are all in a state of high tension, and now they are attacking with dense feather arrows, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the defenders' psychological defense line will collapse.
"Don't stop, archers, don't save arrows for this general. The sword and shield soldiers advanced slowly, and the siege equipment was pushed over by Ben General, who was going to take this Hongxian County in one wave. Gao Ran happily commanded the soldiers.
Jia Xu was sitting in the rear a little distance from the battlefield, he was not idle, he had been paying attention to the battle in front, and when he saw that Gao Ran had discovered the weakness of Hongxian in time, he also had a lot of peace of mind.
After a fight last night, Jia Xu just wanted to use this to keep the Hongxian defenders awake at night, so that their combat power would drop a lot the next day, and Liu Jun would attack energetically after a night's rest, and it wouldn't take long to take Hongxian. The thing is to do according to Jia Xu's design, the defenders of Hongxian County have always been worried that Liu Jun is retreating, and it is very likely that they will take advantage of their carelessness to seize the city, and they have been paying attention to Liu Jun all night, and they dare not come out to harass Liu Jun.
"Gao Ran still has some skills! Then the old man can take a break. Jia Xu drank the tea leisurely.
The guards of Hongxian County are about to be defeated, and there is no way to fight at all. Liu Jun outside the city has already grasped their weakness, and the reinforcements on his side have not come, and it won't be long before Hongxian will change his surname to Liu.
The guards braved the feather arrows to the edge of the city wall to observe, and saw that countless Liu soldiers had almost reached the edge of the city wall, and at the same time, there was a huge crashing wood behind them.
"It's over! Hongxian couldn't hold it. "The guards all know that Hongxian is finished.
The soldiers defending the city trembled under the attack of the feather arrows, they didn't expect that Liu Jun would be so wealthy, and the feathers never stopped at all.
Some bloody soldiers who were not afraid of death did not want to be turtles with shrunken heads, so they angrily picked up bows and arrows to attack the Liu army under the city. But before they could shoot a few feathered arrows, they went down to the sky, and there were several feathered arrows stuck in their bodies, all of which were in critical places.
Seeing their comrades-in-arms who died so miserably, the other soldiers realized that if they continued to resist, the fate of their comrades-in-arms would be their future fate.
The defender already knew the result, and said to all the defenders: "Kaesong surrenders." We can't fight any more. ”
As soon as the soldiers heard the words of the guard, their minds seemed to go blank for a while, and they were going to surrender?
But the soldiers were soon grateful to Dade. The best way to save your life now is to surrender Kaesong. Although after surrendering, his own life is not in his control, and he has to let others eat and drink, but he has a chance to live, which is much better than the inevitable death if he resists now. The guards are also clever people, and it is absolutely safe for them to surrender, if they are all killed, then Liu Jun will not have to continue to attack other cities. Surrender is killed, that is to say, the defenders will not have any retreat in the future, once surrounded, there will only be a fight to the death. The defender felt that the opponent's main general would definitely know about this kind of gain and loss.
When Liu Jun was about to start hitting the city gate, the Hongxian city gate was immediately opened, and many Liu soldiers were taken aback, and knowing that the other party had surrendered in Kaicheng, Liu Jun's soldiers were not embarrassed by them.
As soon as Gao Ran saw the city gate open, he knew that his plan had succeeded, the defenders' will to resist had been broken, and they didn't want to die, so there was only one way to surrender.
Gao Ran immediately ordered Liu Jun's soldiers to quickly enter Hongxian County and take care of all the surrendered defenders, but there was no embarrassment, just confiscated the defenders' weapons and restricted their movements.
Liu Jun soon took over the city defense of Hongxian County.
Gao Ran was very happy that he could fight a fight, so he wanted to be majestic in front of Jia Xu, and by the way, Jia Xu could remember his merits and write it when he put it on the table for Liu Yu.
Jia Xu naturally won't let Gao Ran down, he has never been the kind of person who conceals the martial arts of generals.
Watching Jia Xu write down his credits, Gao Lanle blossomed, and he was closer to going to the next level.
Gao Ran was not happy for long, and the soldiers of Liu Jun, who were in charge of the defense, came to report that a large number of Cao troops had appeared outside Hongxian County.
Don't think about it, this is the reinforcement sent by Cao Cao to support Hongxian. The leader of the troops is Le Jin, who is now leading two thousand men and horses to arrive here, but they are a little late, and Hongxian has already changed its flag.
"I was actually taken down by Liu Jun in Hongxian! What can I do!? Le Jin secretly hated that he didn't speed up.
Gao Lan saw that the other party's flag was marked with the word "Le", and saw that its strength was about 2,000 people, and he was immediately happy.
"Just like that, the soldiers and horses dare to come here. Isn't this a credit to Ben? Someone, open the city gate, I was about to go out of the city and destroy all the enemy troops! "Gao Lanle's appearance is annoying no matter how you look at it.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it's meat, and Gao Ran's favorite thing is this kind of thing that has a small number of people and can accumulate credit.
As soon as Le Jin saw the city gate open, he immediately ordered his soldiers to evacuate. He just ordered soldiers and horses, the opening of the city gate means that the other party is going to go out of the city to attack him now, Lejin is here to support the defenders of the city, but he is not here to fight in the field, two thousand soldiers and horses are not enough to see in the field, it is better to evacuate early.
"The thief will be gone! Your grandfather has come to take your life. Gao Ran came out of the city gate with 5,000 soldiers and horses.
Le Jin secretly scolded: "Idiot, Lao Tzu's brain will be pumped before waiting to kill you!" ”
The two thousand Cao Jun left quickly without any hesitation, even if Gao Ran couldn't catch up.
"Hey, this guy is a thief enough, he runs so fast. Forget it, I'll talk about it next time. Who knows if there will be an ambush for this treacherous dog thief? Be careful! Gao Ran was a little worried about whether the other party wanted to lure them away from the brigade and finally ambush them.
The strategy of luring the enemy into depth, Gao Ran still understands.
Obviously, Gao Ran really thought too much, Lejin purely came to support the Cao army in Hongxian County, and there was no intention to lure the enemy deep and ambush at all.
