Chapter 40: Breaking Huaxiong
Sure enough, as Cao Cao, Liu Bei and the potters expected, after Hua Xiong returned to the barracks, he immediately began to arrange a sneak attack on the city in the middle of the night.
Hua Xiong has been fighting with Dong Zhuo for many years, so he naturally understands the truth that arrogant soldiers will be defeated and are less prepared than guarded.
During the day, their own attack on the city was fruitless, and the entire Yangren City was full of shouts and tsunami-like shouts of celebration, and the combined army had a deep sense of disobedience while boosting morale.
After setting up camp, Hua Xiong immediately sent people to Yangren City to secretly inquire about the news.
Sure enough, Tanma returned, and the Yangren City celebrated tonight, the entire county was brightly lit, the voices of people were boiling, and the sound of cheers and celebrations seemed to be able to reach the Huaxiong camp ten miles away through the night sky.
After the news was sent back, Hua Xiong secretly said, "Sure enough, as the governor expected, Cao Agui, Cao Agui, compared to this governor, your Taoism is still too tender, and look at how the governor takes revenge tonight!" Slaughter all your soldiers and civilians all over the city! ”
******************************
Hua Xiong thought he had a plan, but the truth was not that at all.
In the city, Cao Cao had already ordered all the soldiers and horses to ambush him, and the potters were also involved, leading his soldiers and horses to defend the residential blocks in the south of Yangren City.
Cao Cao has very few soldiers on the city tonight, and has already given an order, once there is a Xiliang army attacking the city, he will immediately warn, and then retreat, pretending to be panicked, Huaxiong's army suffered a big loss in Yangren during the day, and the night offensive must be extremely fierce, if he can take advantage of this gap to attack the city gate with a rushing car, it will not take long to break into the gate.
The urn city of Yangren City is very small, if you just set up an encirclement in the urn city, you will have to expose the stuffing if you can't wait for Huaxiong of the Chinese army to enter the city, so Cao Cao decided to set the main battlefield in the main city of Yangren City.
Cao Cao has seen Huaxiong several times in Luoyang, and he knows that this person is very Kansai general, and once the Kansai generals gain power, they are generally indomitable! Therefore, Cao Cao analyzed that once Huaxiong entered the city, he would inevitably make a desperate bet and lead his troops to take the county mansion and capture the leader of the Southern Route Army of the Alliance Army......
Therefore, Cao Cao and Liu Bei jointly ambushed heavy troops in front of the county government and on the streets on both sides of the county government, and set up pits, strong bows, hard crossbows and tripping horses, just waiting for the king to enter the urn and capture Huaxiong alive.
For the sake of insurance, the Xuzhou army of the pottery merchants was arranged in the south of the city, and once the Huaxiong army entered the city to attack the county government, the pottery merchants immediately sent troops to occupy the four gates to defend it, blocking its way back, cutting off its main road, so that Huaxiong had nowhere to escape.
Of course, if things progress to this point, the soldiers and horses arranged by Huaxiong outside the city will definitely come to meet them...... But before Huaxiong's soldiers arrived in Yangren City, the combined army had already arranged two soldiers and horses outside the city, Guan Yu and Xiahoudun!
Therefore, the work of dealing with the army outside the city naturally had to be handed over to these two people.
I have to say that just the scheduling arrangements of the two battles of ambush during the day and night today have made the potters have a lot of insight and have a lot of experience in the method of using soldiers.
Of course, the potter's heart also increased his admiration and appreciation for Cao Cao.
At this time, suddenly heard the faint sound of shouting and killing in the direction of the West Gate, and the sound became clearer and clearer, and the scouts of the Xuzhou army rushed to Tao Shangyan and said that the Huaxiong army had entered the city, and the front vanguard army was led by Huaxiong himself, and went straight to the Yangren county government.
"It's coming so fast!" The potter remained silent: "Xu Chu and I led the Tiger Guards to divide half of the men and horses to rob Huaxiong's way back, Mi Fang, you led the original headquarters of the Xuzhou Army, and the captains occupied the four gates, if you see Guan Yu and Xiahoudun's reinforcements defeat Huaxiong's receiving army outside the city, then welcome them into the city, and guard the city with you, if they do not win, you will strictly defend the four gates alone, do not let Huaxiong escape." ”
At that moment, Mi Fang and the pottery merchant, Xu Chu and others acted separately, the pottery merchant waited quietly for a while, and the army of Mo Huaxiong had almost reached the county government, so he led Xu Chu to lead the soldiers and horses to rush out together.
Looking into the city, the county government of Yangren County was already in flames at this moment...... Needless to say, this must be the masterpiece of the Xiliang Army!
The fierce shouting and killing sound drifted in the wind, obviously the bloody battle over there had begun, compared with the two, on the contrary, it was much quieter and cleaner on his side.
The pottery merchant instructed Xu Chu: "Huaxiong's army and horses enter the city, and the main force must follow him to capture the palace, and then divide a part of it to occupy the four gates, and most of these soldiers will be handed over to Mi Fang to deal with...... But there should be a part of the military horses in the county to rob the house, looting the people's materials everywhere for the disaster, this is a good opportunity for us to train the troops, you immediately to the Tiger Guard, lead the soldiers and horses, in the city to sweep the plundering of the people of the Xiliang Army, a combat training, the second for the Xuzhou Army to win the people's reputation praise! ”
Xu Chu's face is not very good-looking.
"Not to mention picking up ready-made ones every day, but also to win the reputation of the people, are you a little shameless?"
The potter glared at him dissatisfied: "You know a...... Gentlemen do things like this, you can go if you want to go, what so much nonsense. ”
Xu Chu muttered, muttering while leading the troops away: "I don't know what a gentleman should do...... But I haven't heard of a gentleman scolding people for 'knowing a fart'."
Xu Chu led the Tiger Guards and some soldiers and horses to sweep and plunder the Xiliang army in the city, and the pottery merchant led the remaining soldiers to the road to retreat to the west gate, Huaxiong's camp is ten miles outside the west gate, if you want to break through, this must be his best retreat route, I dare not say 100 percent, but the pottery merchant feels that Hua Xiong has at least a 90 percent chance of breaking through from this road to the outside of the city.
According to the arrangement discussed in advance, the Xuzhou army under his command was arranged on both sides of the main road, arranging strong bows, crossbows, tripping horse ropes and other things, while the potters turned over and dismounted, stood on the street, and pulled out the slip sent by Yuan Shao from his arms, and secretly sighed and re-studied.
"Eldest Prince, what do you see? So fascinating? ”
The potter looked back and was talking to a lieutenant named Yang Zhan in the Xuzhou Army.
This captain is not the same as Wu Xiaowei, who is at odds with the potter, he is usually very good at things, and he is smart, among the many generals who are fighting this time, he has received the support and reuse of the potter and Mi Fang.
"Let's see." The potter handed the slip to Yang Zhan, and sighed: "This is a reward sent by Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, to take the head of Huaxiong, to reward five hundred of Lintoe gold, and to take Xu Rong's head, to reward Lintoe gold of three hundred...... Now the yellow, orange and orange gold will come at us from this road at any time, and I can't help but feel nervous. ”
When Yang Zhan heard this, his Adam's apple rolled, and he swallowed greedily and spit, and said, "The Lord of the Yuan League is really wealthy...... What a big hand, there must be brave men under the so-called heavy rewards...... Just for these five hundred lintoe gold, I think Hua Xiong will die tonight. ”
The potter looked up at the stars and said with emotion: "It depends on whose hands it is to die......
Yang Zhan's mind was dexterous, and he already felt the meaning of the potter, and then said: "Don't worry, the eldest prince, for the sake of these five hundred lintoe gold ......"
The potter turned his head and glared at him,
Yang Zhan hurriedly changed his tone: "Ah, no...... It is for the prosperity of my Han world...... The last general will definitely serve the eldest prince tonight! If Hua Xiong doesn't take this road and escapes, if he takes this road, he will inevitably take off his head for the eldest prince. ”
The potter nodded appreciatively, and said with a smile: "Captain Yang is really brave and loyal, tonight it will be up to you and the Xuzhou soldiers to fight bravely to kill the thief!" You have worked hard and made great achievements, and when you return to Xuzhou in the future, I will definitely report to my father truthfully, reward you for your merits, and never break my word. ”
Yang Zhan and the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army behind him heard this, and saw that it was the superintendent Tao Dagongzi who personally promised the reward, and the morale was greatly boosted, and everyone raised their arms and shouted: "The eldest prince is mighty!" The eldest prince is mighty! ”
As he spoke, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind him, as if a team was galloping towards him.
The potter turned his head curiously.
I saw that a group of soldiers and horses had come to my rear, and our soldiers dodged on both sides to make way for them.
At the head of the person, his face was like a heavy jujube, with three long beards, wearing a green robe, holding a blade with a cold flash, and the weight of the Qinglong Yanyue Knife was extremely heavy...... Who is it if it's not Guan Yu?
The potter's heart sank.
How do you feel the duck in the hand...... Want to fly?
"Why is Brother Guan here?" The potter squeezed out a smile and said.
Guan Yu had no official position at this time, so the potter called him a brother.
Guan Yu grabbed the war horse under his crotch, and bowed slightly: "Outside the city to meet Huaxiong's army, Guan and others have been swept away, I heard that Gongzi is here to intercept and kill Huaxiong, Guan is afraid that Gongzi will lose, so he came to answer." ”
The potter's face turned pale, and his heart was even more empty...... You came here to support, what does Huaxiong's head have to do with me?
"Brother Guan is really brave and invincible, he swept away all the Xiliang troops outside the city so quickly, and he really did it...... Come, bring wine! ”
There was really a personal guard with a wine bag, and the potter took it and handed it to Guan Yu, saying, "Brother Guan, drink it, and make a strong reputation!" ”
Guan Yu laughed and excused himself: "Put down the wine, wait for Hua Xiong to come here later, and it's not too late to cut off his head and drink again......"
"Childe, look!" Captain Yang Zhan suddenly shouted at the potter.
The potter turned his head to look, but not far away, the light of the torches had begun to shine on them, and the fierce shouts and the footsteps of the horses were clearly audible.
But seeing the remnants of Xiliang sparsely playing torches, frantically running towards the place where the pottery merchants and horses were, behind them, there were still Cao Jun and Liu Beijun who were desperate to pursue and kill, and they really refused to relax a single step, vowing to kill them all.
When the Xiliang army arrived at the county office, there was a burst of arson, Cao Jun and Liu Bei just didn't come out, so they were complacent, quite lax, and didn't want to put the fire halfway, Cao and Liu's armies suddenly came by surprise from the streets on both sides, and surrounded and annihilated the Xiliang army.
The Xiliang army was caught off guard, and immediately showed a chaotic trend, and was beaten in pieces.
Hua Xiong himself was even more sad, and he ran into Zhang Fei head-on!
The fierce general is relatively natural to fight bravely, and the two immediately have a fierce battle!
Hua Xiong and Zhang Fei were also equal at first, but after a long time, Zhang Fei was still superior, although Hua Xiong was brave, but he was still invincible and defeated, and was poked a big blood hole in the shoulder by Zhang Fei, but fortunately, the Xiliang Army Cavalry desperately rescued each other, and escaped by luck.
After a long period of tragic battles, most of the soldiers and horses under Hua Xiong's command were scattered, and only a small part of the remnants of the army were defeated, so they had to flee west in a hurry.
Rao is like this, Cao Cao and Liu Bei did not intend to let him go, and chased after him all the way.
Hua Xiong covered his wounds, and was galloping, when he suddenly heard a horn sound, and the strong bows of the Xuzhou army, which were ambushed by the potters on both sides of the road, shot one after another, and hit the Huaxiong army with a rain of arrows, and suddenly shot down a large piece of Xiliang remnants.
Hua Xiong covered his wounds and hurriedly reined in his horse, showing a look of fear on his always unruly face for the first time.
"How...... This! There is still an ambush? ”
After experiencing the battle of the Floating Cloud Yellow Turban Army and the siege battle during the day today, count tonight...... This was the third time the potter had been on the battlefield, and the discomfort and disgusting feeling of seeing death, blood, and severed arms had finally faded away, and his delicate countenance was now full of calm and resoluteness.
"Yang Zhan!"
"In!"
"Encirclement and annihilation!"
"No!"
The Xuzhou army waited for work, arranged properly, cut off Huaxiong's return road at this moment, and took advantage of the terrain and arrow rain to instantly cut the Huaxiong army into several sections, divide and rule, so that it had no power to resist.
Guan Yu looked at the pottery merchant soldiers, a hint of color flashed in his eyes, and secretly said that this kid actually has a lot of ability.
But admiring the potter was only a matter of moments, and after a while, Guan Yu set his eyes on Huaxiong, who was covered in blood!
The haired male Danfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, slapped his horse forward, and went straight to Huaxiong.
Seeing that Guan Yu suddenly got out of the horse and went straight to Huaxiong...... The potter's heart was about to break.
As soon as this person came out, Huaxiong was basically GAME OVER...... And the 500 gold head bounty, I'm afraid that it will not be related to me.
It's no wonder that potters have such negative thoughts...... The level and skills are here, and it doesn't count if you throw Xu Chu away...... Which of these soldiers and generals of these levels in the Xuzhou Army can compete with Guan Erye for the head?
