Chapter 111: Slash
At this moment in Wuchang Fankou, Zong Pre once again sent an envoy to Jiangdong.
Sun Quan had sent Xu Sheng and Jiang Qin to reinforce Zhou Tai to defend Yu Weisu, and this time he would personally lead the Chinese army back to Jianye.
At Fankou Wharf, when Zong Pre and Sun Quan parted, they were quite reluctant, and said in a firm tone: "The left army has been transferred north to Nanyang, and Hugu Tinghou is the vanguard to block Yang, and I want to send good news to Jiangdong in the near future." When the king of Han arrived in Jiangling, Guan Hou would march out of Nanyang in advance and join the left army to attack the Central Plains. ”
"In the west, there is a right general out of Chen Cang's bluff, and Guan Hou will also divide his troops to attack Yique and attack Guanzhong with the right general."
Although Cao Xiu, Zhang Liao, and Zang Ba claimed to be 300,000, the foreign ministers thought that they were only 100,000 people, and it was not difficult to resist with the advantage of Jiangdong's boats and dangerous terrain. I also asked Wu Hou to be relieved again and again, our army flanked Guanzhong's Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, one virtual and one real, and the Wei army must be taught to be tired of running for their lives, and the siege of Jiangdong can be relieved. ”
This was a response to Zhuge Jin, who ran to Jiangling to ask for reinforcements, accusing Guan Yu of violating the righteousness of the alliance by not sending reinforcements.
Only then did Zong Pre send an envoy to Wuchang for the second time, and came to declare one thing: Don't worry, it's not that we don't send reinforcements, but we have a better strategy for controlling the enemy, and you just need to defend.
Sun Quan's face was relieved, and he lightly shook Zong's warm hand: "Deyan, Zhang Liao has broken Dongguan." At this time when the hearts of the people in Jiangdong are scattered, they are not free. If you act badly, please forgive the king of Han. ”
Zong Yu's face sank, and then he bowed slightly: "The foreign minister understands." ”
"Deyan, cherish it."
Zong Yu let go, looking stunned.
After Sun Quan boarded the ship, he stood on the deck and looked at Zong Pre, and with the sound of drums and trumpets, the colorful dragon boat that Sun Quan was riding slowly went off the shore.
One of them was still standing on deck, the other on the dock.
When his vision was obscured by other ships, he turned around with a tacit understanding, and Sun Quan asked, "How did King Wei think about it?" ”
The man who walked out of the cabin was a little uncomfortable with the strong light, and half-squinted: "Wu Hou has abandoned Dongguan, which shows sincerity." The king of Wei was willing to be rewarded with Hefei. ”
"Man Boning, Ma Chao moved to Nanyang, Guan Yu can go north to help at any time. These two people are the bears and tigers of the world, and I am afraid that Xu Huang and Zhang He can resist them. ”
Sun Quan said and took out a stack of silk books from his sleeve and handed it to Man Chong: "I expect Xu Huang to be defeated, and I am afraid that he will lose his life." I have handed over the seal of persuasion to Zhou Youping, and Zhou Youping will send it to King Wei before the case when he enters Shouchun. ”
Manzhong opened the silk book and saw that it was Sun Quan's letter of appointment, asking Sun Deng to marry Cao Pi's only daughter, and was willing to raise Jiangxia County as a dowry and Jiujiang County as a dowry.
This daughter, who is two years older than Sun Deng, is very loved by Cao Pi and Cao Cao.
The fleet swam down and stopped when it arrived at Chaisangkou, where the armies of Jiang Qin and Xu Sheng were stationed at Poyang Lake.
This was originally the initial garrison base of Jiangxia Huangzu, which has been abandoned for a long time, and is now used again.
Man Chong disembarked on the north shore and sent Sun Quan's letter of appointment and his views to Xu Du.
At this time, Xu Huang had commanded the headquarters of 4,000 soldiers to enter the Xu Shang Air Camp in danger and danger.
The Xushang camp is twenty-seven miles away from the city of Duyang, separated by two tributaries of Lishui.
Xu Huang climbed high and looked, and it could be seen that there were two hundred and one Han knights on the other side of the river, and there were ten formations scattered all over the place, which just blocked Lu Jian's retreat and return.
If Lu Jian retreated, it was estimated that as soon as he ran through Lishui, he would be forced to land by the knights of the Han army.
"Use the fireworks as a signal to order Xu Shang to attack the enemy camp at night."
Xu Huang gave an order, and the whole army unloaded their armor and rested.
No matter how bad Lu Jian is, he still has three battalions of more than 2,000 people in his hands, and there is a city wall to block the sun, how can he defend it for three days.
Two miles west of Duyang City, Tian Xin set up two curtains with great fanfare, and seven battle flags were raised in the tent: General Zuo, Deputy General of the Left Army, Hugu Tinghou, General Huya, General Long Xiang, General Yamen, and even the Wen Ping 'Rebellious General Wen' brought by Wen Hou also stood in the tent.
The whole army was full of food, and he led his own soldiers into the armor array, and with the sound of drums, they pushed the boxcar and the ladder slowly forward.
Lin Luozhu led the military camp to attack from the front, and Tian Xin was mixed here; In the south, Mo Chong led the former military camp, led by Xie Jingdu to attack the city.
"This should be a temptation, not a careless one."
"Wait for the enemy to approach, and then shoot his soldiers."
"There are eight enemy ladders, and they are burned with boiling oil in grass bundles."
"Burn its ladder, and it retreats by itself."
Lv Jian arranged protection, and Duyang was a small city without a moat.
The circumference of Maicheng is five miles, and the circumference of the plugging sun is less than four miles, and the height of the female wall is only one zhang and five.
If he didn't wear armor, with Tian Xin's current physical strength, he could easily climb over such a wall.
The siege sequence of the Chinese military camp, after Li Ji surrendered, was reorganized into a hundred generals, and at this moment, he was wearing an iron basin collar armor, walking on the right side of the team with a halberd in both hands, staring at the sergeants of the team with his spare eyes.
The spearmen push the wheelbarrows, and the crossbowmen in two crotch armor are huddled together behind the boxcars, and each boxcar is an attacking unit; The rest are short spearmen with large oars, and then there are swords, shields, swords and shields for the siege...... and Tian Xin, who dragged Fang Tianhalberd backwards.
The eye-catching Fang Tian halberd was dragging to the ground at this moment, making Li Ji feel distressed when he looked at it.
On the periphery, Zhang Bao led the eight hundred horsemen of the headquarters to line up on the north and south sides of Duyang, and he found Tian Xin in the crowd and stared at it.
On the left and right sides of Tian Xin, Tian Ji and Wang Zhi are still holding swords and shields, and the two of them are also wearing iron basin collar armor and tiger skin waists.
"Stand on the shield!"
"Beat the drums!"
Almost instantly, the two sides were twenty paces apart, and the crossbows were fired in unison.
The armored soldier wearing two layers of armor still bowed his head and pushed the ladder forward, and the arrows were also more supported, and he had to follow the ladder if he was seriously injured.
"Do!"
Tian Xin's cloud ladder in front of him reached five steps close to the city wall, and the military officer who commanded the cloud car pulled the rope, and the cloud ladder leaned forward slightly accelerated downward, with three hooks, and the cloud ladder with a counterweight stone was buckled at the head of the city, and the three buckles were stuck at the female wall battlement.
The ladder is eight feet wide and more than three feet long, and it is a plane with a gentle slope!
"Enter!"
Yan Zhong shouted, and more than 100 soldiers carried their shields forward, and the crossbows were erected on the shields, and the shields were set up on both sides of the ladder to suppress the city.
Tian Xin wore an iron mask and didn't say a word, the Qingyu Sword and the Baihong Sword hung on his left waist, and the ringing of the bell on his waist had been muffled by the roars of both sides.
Bundles of straw lit with boiling oil were thrown from behind the female wall, splashing down and igniting the ladder.
Seeing that the four ladders in front of him were ignited one after another, Lu Jian breathed a sigh of relief.
He also wore iron basin collar armor, and he couldn't help but get excited, and walked around the city wall and shouted: "Don't save arrows! ”
Tian Xin caught a glimpse of Lu Jian, who was the only one shouting on the city wall, and immediately stepped on the burning ladder to charge, which was only six meters long, and the flame was no more than one meter high. 、
As he charged, Yan Zhong, who was the overseer behind him, shouted even more, and immediately set up two battle flags: General Huya, Hugu Tinghou.
Tian Ji and Wang Zhi followed Tian Xin, and more of his troops trampled on the flames and charged, and the ladder armor soldiers everywhere were also shouting excitedly, rushing to run.
After only stepping on four steps, Tian Xin jumped to the city wall, and as soon as he landed on the ground, he pushed forward when he was killed by a person in the chest, and behind him, Wang Zhi and Tian Ji landed almost at the same time, waving their swords and slashing and slashing.
Before Lu Jian could change his breath, he saw Tian Xin rushing to within ten steps of him, and suddenly his soul was furious, looking at Fang Tianji and screaming in a lost voice, so that his legs were heavy and he was paralyzed and couldn't move.
Not only him, some Wei soldiers saw the legendary axe-like Fang Tian halberd with weak legs and soft hands.
Tian Xin would not be soft-hearted at this moment, Fang Tianhald slashed vigorously in his hand, and the city wall was just enough for him to wield, and everywhere he went, he was killed immediately.
Li Ji and Yu Zhong under the city looked up at the invincible and unstoppable Tianxin in the city, and they were immediately excited in their hearts, and they did not forget to supervise the troops; The other is the first battle, the fear is gone, the blood is boiling uncontrollably, the spear is rushed, and the ladder of the flames is gradually weakening and rushes to the city.
Every time Tian Xin took a step, Fang Tianhalberd was a blow, and each blow would definitely be able to slash two or three people.
Whether it is armor, shields, spear shafts, or arms, legs, and waist poles, they are all cut off by Fang Tianhalberd.
Lu Jian, who was protected by the pro-corps, only retreated five or six steps before he was caught up by Tian Xin, and a halberd pierced his chest, and the fine iron armor on his chest was like paper paste.
Lu Jian didn't feel the pain yet, Tian Xin abandoned the halberd and pulled out the Qingyu sword to slash horizontally, the basin collar armor of Lu Jian's neck guard was cut open, and Tian Xin backhanded a few more swords, cutting off Lu Jian's head.
And the soldiers and military officials behind Lu Jian were already stupid, and none of them dared to step forward, watching Tian Xin cut off Lu Jian's head with five swords in a row.
When Tian Xin swung his sword and slashed, the bell rang crisply, which was fascinating.
Probably, when Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang, the soldiers and officials around Yan Liang were also in such an ignorant state.
