Chapter 17: Night Attack
Chapter 17: Wei Ziliang beheaded Xiahou Kuang by taking the banner, and Niu Jinshang moved the rescue soldiers to scold Jiang Boyao angrily (I)
On the official road, the Wei army was riding on a horse, beating the people desperately.
"Hurry up!" All the people looked at the jackal-like Wei army with frightened eyes, and they didn't dare to resist more, so they could only push the grain cart forward with all their strength. Along the way, in order to speed up the march, the Wei army was desperately urging the Shu people's husbands, and more than 20 people were whipped to death. In this way, the speed of the march has really accelerated a lot, and from the early morning to the present, the whole team has advanced for nearly 80 miles.
"Where are we now?" Xiahou Kuang rode on his horse and asked the lieutenant in the army.
The lieutenant bowed down and replied, "General, five miles ahead, you will arrive at Dingyuan Slope." ”
"Okay, the order will go down and set up camp in Dingyuanpo tonight." Xiahou Kuang commanded.
"No!"
The five-mile journey is just around the corner. Before nightfall, the Wei army buried the pot and cooked a full meal, and then except for the necessary guards and the rest of the people went to bed early, the people were even more tired to death, some even fell to the ground and fell asleep, until midnight the whole military camp was silent, only the sound of snoring and bonfires showed that the territory belonged here.
At this time, Xiahou Kuang was sleeping soundly in the tent, and suddenly heard the noise outside the tent, and suddenly got up in displeasure and asked, "What's the noise?" ”
At this time, a lieutenant rushed into the account and reported: "General, something is wrong, the Shu army attacked the camp overnight, and the generals have been killed by setting fire everywhere." ”
Xiahou Ba was shocked and said angrily: "Nonsense! The Shu army is more than 200 miles away from us, how can it catch up with our army in one day? ”
The lieutenant replied: "I don't know, but the person who broke into the camp is indeed the banner of Liao Hua, the general of the Shu army." ”
"Quickly pierce my armor!" Xiahou Kuang immediately burst out.
When Xiahou Kuang put on his armor and walked out of the tent, he saw that the entire camp was already full of fire, and there were sounds of fighting everywhere.
"You need to panic, move closer to me!" Xiahou Kuang shouted.
At this time, Xiahou Kuangzhi's personal soldiers had also been assembled, and they shouted loudly: "Move closer to the big tent!" ”
Suddenly, Wei soldiers scattered in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, more than 100 people around Xiahou Kuang had gathered together. But just when Xiahou Kuang was about to give an order, a general of Shu suddenly arrived, and shouted loudly: "Liao Hua, the general of Shu, is here, and Xiahou dog thieves still don't take their lives!" After finishing speaking, he cut off Xiahou Kuangzhi's head with a knife.
Xiahou Kuang held his gun to block it, and suddenly felt that his arm was numb and his mouth was about to crack: "This guy is so powerful!" I'm afraid I'm invincible! Xiahou Kuang couldn't help but think to himself in his heart.
The two fought a few times on the horse, and Xiahou Kuang suddenly saw the appearance of the person in front of him by the light of the fire, and couldn't help but exclaim: "You are not Liao Hua Liao Yuanjian!" ”
The general laughed wildly and said, "That's right, look at the reward!" Immediately after a sword light slashed, Xiahou Ba's head suddenly rose into the sky, and was caught by the general's horse.
The general smiled and said, "You are waiting for the Lord to be dead, why don't you come down early?" ”
At this time, the Wei army saw that the main general was dead, and they fled one after another, and even directly surrendered.
Then a person flashed out behind the general, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, Brother Liao is brave, and our head is saved." "But it is the Shu army Dubo Hancheng. And the person who sat upright immediately was Wei Yuan and Wei Ziliang.
Wei Yuan said: "Please also ask Brother Han to wake up the people immediately and clean up the battlefield." We must evacuate this place immediately. Han Cheng should go and get busy immediately.
It turned out that after the Shu army was defeated and fled in all directions the day before, Li Ming found that all the soldiers who had fled were afraid of the Wei soldiers in front of them, and they all fled in the direction of the five cities. So he rode a horse on a short road to the front to retract, and used the horse meat cage, and after Wei Yuan and others converged, nearly 240 deserters had been gathered.
Later, even the other three Dubo Han Cheng, Guangrui, and Feng Bi under the original Huang Feng also fled here and joined Wei Yuan. At night, Wei Yuan invited the three Dubos to one place and said, "Brothers, we will escort the grain and grass to Huang Bi, and now the grain and grass have been lost, I don't know what your brothers have planned?" ”
Guangrui said: "The loss of grain and grass is the responsibility of the lord, what does it have to do with us?" ”
Wei Yuan said with a smile: "Other soldiers may be able to shirk it like this, but as Dubo, the Wei army did not protect the grain and grass when they came, and if General Wang Ping knew about it, it would definitely not be spared." I'm afraid it's hard to save my life. ”
Feng Bi said: "Having said that, will General Wang Ping behead us when we return to him, or will not." ”
Wei Yuan said angrily: "An eight-foot man, how can he hand over his head to the three-word joke of 'or not'?" ”
Han Cheng said: "Listen to the meaning of Brother Liao's words, but there is a clever plan to save our lives?" ”
Guangrui and Feng Bi's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they all got up and bowed to Wei Yuan. Guangrui said: "If Brother Liao has a good plan to protect our lives, we will swear before and after the horse in the future." ”
Wei Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "I have a plan, and I am willing to discuss with your brothers." ”
The three of them were overjoyed, and immediately surrounded Wei Yuan and asked, "What is the plan?" Please come back quickly. ”
Wei Yuan said: "My brother Niu Mang, the detective found that the main general of the Wei army is Xiahou Kuangye, the cousin of Xiahou Ba, after robbing the grain and grass this time, that Xiahou Kuang did not burn the grain and grass, but drove the people to transport it to Weiying. Therefore, I want to unite my three brothers to attack him at night and regain the grain and grass. ”
Feng Bi said: "Then Xiahou Kuang is extremely brave, do you want to trick me into death?" ”
Wei Yuan said: "I have been learning art since I was a child, if I meet that Xiahou Kuang, I am willing to kill him." ”
Guangrui reprimanded: "Hugh said big things, in my opinion, you are still young, how can you resist that Xiahou Kuang, this strategy is absolutely not advisable." ”
Wei Yuan said with a smile: "I am a martial artist, why do I need to say big things to deceive my brothers?" ”
Han Cheng said, "Okay! Since Brother Liao said so, dare to give it a try? ”
Wei Yuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "How do you try each other?" ”
Han Cheng said: "If you can resist the combined efforts of the three of us, then I will decide to follow you on a journey, and it is better than going back to worry about it every day." ”
Guangrui and Feng Bi glanced at each other, and said in unison: "If you can resist the combined efforts of the three of us, the two of us are also at your disposal, otherwise this matter needs to be mentioned again." ”
Wei Yuan smiled and picked up the three-pointed two-edged knife in one hand. said: "What's so difficult about this, the three brothers please just come forward." ”
Han Cheng and the three of them glanced at each other, and Han Cheng spoke: "The sword has no eyes, Brother Liao is careful." Then he drew his sword and stabbed Wei Yuan in the chest.
Guangrui and Feng Bi held long knives at the same time, one left and one right, and struck up.
Wei Yuan burst out: "It's good to come!" The two feet quickly took two steps back to avoid the three of them, and then suddenly they grew up, blocked the Han Cheng sword with a sword, and bounced the Han Cheng sword straight up, and then the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand stabbed forward like lightning, and said with a smile: "You are defeated." ”
Immediately afterwards, the three-pointed two-edged knife was raised horizontally in the middle, and the long knife in Guangrui Feng Bi's hand was held together, and both hands were lifted upward, and then the handle of the knife turned slightly, poked at Guangrui lightly, and said with a smile: "You are also defeated." In the end, he abandoned the three-pointed two-edged knife on the ground, and he had come to Feng Bi's side in a flash, Feng Bi was shocked, and he hurriedly raised the knife to cut it, but Wei Yuan dodged and dodged close to his side, only to see Wei Yuan reach out and grab Feng Bi's armor silk, and with one hand, he had already lifted Feng Bi above his head, and said with a smile: "You are also defeated." Then put Feng Bi down gently.
After Feng Bi landed, he looked at each other with Han Cheng and Guangrui, and was suddenly shocked, it turned out that Wei Yuan had already split Han Cheng's helmet to the ground in the blink of an eye, and Guangrui's beard had already been scattered by the handle of the knife, if Wei Yuan wanted to kill the two, at that time, as long as the weapon was one more line forward, the lives of the two could be taken. As for Feng Bi, if Wei Yuan wanted to take his life, he only had to slam Feng Bi on the rocks.
After this attempt, the three of Han Cheng were all impressed. The three of them all bowed their hands and said, "In this case, we are willing to listen to Liao Dubo's dispatch." ”
Wei Yuan arched his hand and said: "Don't dare to be, I am willing to work with the three brothers to rob the grain and grass to make up for it." ”
So the four of them sat down and discussed the plan to rob the grain again. Feng Bi said: "Now although we have the ambition to recapture the grain and grass, but the soldiers under us have no will to fight, what can we do?" ”
"Words must be used to provoke them to death, otherwise this battle will be lost." Wei Yuandao.
Guangrui said: "Having said that, only these two hundred or so people are still infantry, and all the ordnance is short, how can we resist the nearly 800 cavalry of the Wei army?" ”
Wei Yuan said with a smile: "In addition, I have another plan, which can ensure that the grain is foolproof." ”
Everyone was overjoyed and asked Wei Yuan what was going on. Wei Yuan took out a brocade box that had been tied to his waist, and said: "This is the new general flag made by General Liao Liao, we can use this to use the flag, and in the middle of the night, he falsely claimed that General Liao Hua attacked the Wei army's grain and grass, and the Wei army was frightened when he heard it, and it was difficult to know that our army was false." ”
Feng Bi exclaimed: "Although this plan is good, but we are all uncles in the army, wouldn't we not know that the old flag has not gone, and if the new flag is out, it will be disadvantageous to the master." This is General Liao Hua's general flag, we use it for personal use, if General Liao Hua blames it, our lives will not be saved. ”
Wei Yuan said: "When the grain is robbed, I will definitely ask General Liao for the guilt, brother and relieved." ”
Everyone persuaded again, but Wei Yuan still refused to allow it, so everyone had to agree that Wei Yuan temporarily borrowed Liaohua's flag for use.
Guangrui said: "Since Ziliang needs to disguise himself as General Liaohua, then your armor may be immediately discovered by the Wei army, so let's do it, my chain mail will be temporarily lent to Ziliang to be strong." Wei Yuan hurriedly thanked him.
At this time, Han Cheng said again: "Even if we wait to rob the grain and grass, the Wei army will learn that they will send elite soldiers to chase after us, and we may be unable to resist." ”
Wei Yuan said: "I have arranged for my brother Niu Mang to ride a fast horse to Shanxian to ask for help. Brother and heart-warming. ”
Guang Ruiqi said: "We belong to the rear army, why don't we ask General Wang Ping for help?" ”
Wei Yuan said: "General Wang Ping is in charge of the rear army, and it is the cavalry ear to rush to the aid for a long time. In the rear army, I was afraid that the elite cavalry would be insufficient, so I arranged for my brother Niu Mang to go to Shanxian for help. ”
Everyone was amazed.
So, at night, Wei Yuan ordered Li Ming to walk around the army with rumors, saying that General Wang Ping wanted to kill all the soldiers who had lost grain and grass, which only stirred up the panic in the entire military camp.
In the early morning of the next day, Wei Yuan gathered all the more than 240 soldiers under his command together and shouted: "I have received the news that General Wang Ping was furious when he learned that we had lost our military rations this time, and wanted to execute all of us as an example. Do you brothers know? ”
At this time, the entire military camp was suddenly in chaos, some said that they had escaped, some had said that they had surrendered to Wei, and some were even ready to unite with everyone to prepare to go up the mountain to do the bandit.
Wei Yuan shouted loudly: "We are all sergeants, and we all have names to check in the army, if we take advantage of the time to escape, General Wang Ping will be angry with our family, and we may be able to save our lives if we escape, but can we ignore our parents, our wives and children, and our people?" The soldiers were suddenly shocked and made a mess.
At this time, Li Ming walked out of the column and asked: "Du Bo said this, there must be a plan to save us and others, and please ask Du Bo to help save our lives." Then the sword-wielding chief knelt down. When the soldiers saw this, they all fell to the ground, begging Wei Yuan to give him a plan to live.
Wei Yuan saw it and said: "For today's plan, only we will take the risk." I am willing to lead everyone together, sacrifice their lives to intercept the grain and grass, if we can become our own merits, General Wang Ping will not be punished, if we die in battle, General Wang Ping will remember my equal loyalty and no longer implicate our family, can you agree to go with a certain one? ”
When all the soldiers saw this, they agreed. Then Wei Yuan learned that an old soldier knew that a small road could go directly to the front of the Wei army, Wei Yuan was overjoyed, and immediately led everyone to the front of the Wei army. Later, Guangrui was ordered to lead 70 men to ambush behind the Wei camp in order to capture the fleeing horses, and ordered Feng Bi to lead 70 men to rush into the Wei camp and immediately set fire to them. Wei Yuan himself personally explored the place where the Wei army's horses were stored, and at midnight he led a hundred men directly from the stables, and as soon as Bu entered, he opened the fence and cut off the reins of all the horses, causing the horses to be frightened and wreak havoc in the Wei camp. Then they clashed in the camp, picking tents and setting fires on firewood. As soon as they saw that the Wei army had a slight intention of gathering, they rushed forward and scattered, only stirring up the panic of the entire Wei army camp, coupled with the Liao character general flag hanging high behind Wei Yuan, the Wei army thought that Liao Hua led the army to come in person, and they all had no intention of fighting, and fled in all directions.
Later, Wei Yuan saw that Xiahou Kuang had the intention of gathering troops, so he came to risk and ended Xiahou Kuang's life.
After Han Cheng left, after a short time, Guangrui arrived on horseback, and when he saw Wei Yuan, he immediately laughed and said: "Thanks to my good plan, I have no worries, and this time I have captured more than 400 war horses." Even if we can't recover the grain and grass, we have already made meritorious contributions with these 400 war horses. ”
At this time, Feng Bi also staggered over, and after the three of them met, they all laughed at each other, and the decadence of the original loss of grain and grass had long been thrown out of the clouds.
