Chapter 313: Xiahou Yuan's Defeat (2)

The front and rear camp walls are ten zhang apart.

The walls of the camp are all arranged with Sergeant Cao to guard against the hundreds of thousands of people in the camp. The Qian army approached the western camp wall with hundreds of men, and then secretly shot Cao Jun with bows and arrows and crossbows.

"Poof, poof."

"Ah!!h

There are not many bows, in fact, there are only a dozen, and there is only one crossbow. The first wave hit seven or eight people, some Cao Jun was injured, and some Cao Jun was shot dead on the spot.

The screams attracted the attention of Cao Jun on the camp wall. The soldiers of Cao on the two camp walls also have a military waiting force.

Five hundred and fifty-five people.

"Someone is making trouble!!! Vigilance, vigilance. In the dark, I didn't know who gave the order loudly, so Sergeant Cao began to be on guard.

The Qian army hid in the shadows, and shot Cao Jun with a dozen archers, and ordered the rest of the rangers, who were strong, armed with swords or other wooden sticks, to rush to the camp wall.

A few cars were also pushed, and as a stepping stone, rushed up.

It would take a while for a few hundred people to be killed even if they were standing. What's more, among the defeated people, there are quite a few brave and ruthless rangers, and for a while, these hundreds of people began to entangle with Cao Jun.

Qian Jun quickly shot the arrows in his hand, but instead of rushing forward, he shouted: "Cao Cao is brutal, and when we go to the north, we will die without a place to bury." Fellow villagers, brothers, kill Cao Jun and return to Jiangling!!! ”

Qian Jun's words were local to Gangneung, which immediately caused a commotion among more than 100,000 people in the inner camp.

And then a lot of people came forward.

One of them, who was very prestigious, was a township chief in Gangneung named Song Da. Song Da was thin and weak, and he couldn't hold a weapon.

But his family is wealthy, and he is quite generous in the township to help the poor, so he has a very high reputation.

Song Daju gathered a group of neighborhood leaders, picked up a wooden stick, and said: "Even if I die, I will die in Jingzhou." Never go north. No matter who fights with Cao Jun, we will help and rush with me. ”

So many of the villagers responded in unison, picked up objects as weapons, and rushed to the west.

The will of the people is irreversible, and if it is reversed, it will die.

More than 100,000 people.

In the past, when Zhang Jiao and the three of them raised troops, the people were only hundreds of thousands of people. Then it swept the world, and the more it fought, the more it fought.

Strong man, collapsed with a bang.

At this moment, the Cao army is naturally many times more elite than the official army back then, but more than 100,000 people, against 20,000 or 30,000 Cao troops, and more than 5,000 elite soldiers of Li Zheng attacked the camp, and it was immediately easy to see.

Thousands of elites gathered together and rushed towards the western camp of the Cao army. The strength of Cao's army, which was guarding the city wall, was suddenly unable to resist.

is to stand and let you kill, a military candidate's troops, if you want to kill thousands of people, it will take a long time, not to mention that among these people, there are quite a few capable people.

Although there were not many weapons, they swarmed up, killed Cao Jun, and then picked up Cao Jun's weapons. In this way, the first camp wall of the Cao army was suddenly unable to hold on, and retreated to the second camp wall.

But after only some resistance, the second wall was quickly breached by thousands of civilians. But the remaining Cao soldiers still did not collapse, but came to the camp and joined Li Guang.

At this moment, Li Guang was already anxious, the enemy army had rushed into the camp, the two sides were fighting, the other side was very elite, the number was not much different, and the two sides were equal.

At this moment, a group of men and horses suddenly came from the rear, even though it was a very garbage rabble, but Li Guang couldn't support it, because Li Guang knew that there were more than 100,000 people in the inner camp.

Excluding women, there are always 60,000 or 70,000 men. Remove the old man, there are always forty or fifty thousand strong, right?

If it's all the opposite.

Coupled with the darkness of the night, coupled with the invasion of foreign enemies, there is really no place to die. In an instant, Li Guang made a decision.

"Go north and get out of here." Li Guang shouted loudly and led his own soldiers to retreat to the northern camp first. Li Zheng, as well as the people of Gangneung, of course, refused to let go of Li Guang, and fought and chased.

There were many dead and wounded on both sides, and Cao's army suffered many more casualties, leaving many corpses behind.

Soon after, Li Guang joined the soldiers of Cao in the northern camp and led his troops to withdraw from the camp.

At this moment, the shouting and killing were already extremely intense, and the hundreds of thousands of people in Gangneung City did not know where the attack was here and where the bluff was.

There were also many people similar to the Qian army, attacking the east and the Cao army camp in the south. But he was shot and killed by Cao Jun, and there were countless casualties.

But although Xiahou Yuan held the camp, he also knew that the western camp had been breached, and Li Guang had already gone to the northern camp, so he suddenly sighed and said, "It seems that these hundreds of thousands of people can't be taken away." ”

"Withdraw troops." Xiahou Yuan said that he withdrew his troops, and he led Cao's soldiers to abandon the camp and go to the East Camp, where he joined Xu Lan of the East Camp, and then turned around and headed north.

Fighting, the chaos lasted for an hour.

By the time the fight was over, it was almost dawn. Li Zheng gathered the soldiers and counted them, and hundreds of soldiers were killed in the battle, and more than 1,000 people were wounded.

The fight was short, but intense.

Immediately, Li Zheng ordered the seriously injured soldiers, the lightly injured soldiers, and the intact soldiers, to garrison the camp on the spot, and sent people to invite people with prestige among the hundreds of thousands of people to come to discuss.

Cao Jun left in a hurry, and the camp left behind was quite complete, with a lot of grain and grass equipment. Li Zheng himself sat in the Beida camp, with a military tent as a commander's tent.

In the tent, Li Zheng sat on the northern throne, under him was the camp Sima, and the rest were more than a dozen people with heads and faces in Jiangling City.

Among them are Qian Jun and Song Da.

Li Zheng opened his mouth and said: "First of all, I will identify myself, I am General Zuo, Li Zheng, a general under the command of Hanshou Marquis Guan Gong. ”

Qian Jun, Song Da and others were in a commotion. Now in Jingzhou, Cao Cao is the enemy, only Guan Yu and Sun Quan are left. And Li Zheng is a person, who has been in Fangling for a long time, loyal and brave, and the people of Jingzhou have heard the name of Li Zheng.

Li Zheng gave everyone a moment to calm down, and then said: "I only have 5,000 soldiers and horses, but Cao's army has 20,000 or 30,000. In the battle last night, I wanted to thank you for your help, without you, it would be difficult to break through the camp of the Cao army. However, the losses of the Cao army were not large, the elite of the Cao army dared to fight and dare to fight, and Xiahou Yuan would definitely not give up and personally lead the army to fight. If you avoid it at this moment, you will be slaughtered by Xiahou Yuan. Everyone, you are going to bury your bones here. Therefore, please select the brave and strong, and together with our soldiers, garrison the Cao army camp. Place the old and weak in the inner camp. Although the men and horses led by Xiahou Yuan are capable, they do not have heavy grain and grass, and they will inevitably not last. And Cao Cao was anxious to withdraw from Jingzhou, and he would also order Xiahou Yuan to withdraw his troops. You only need to guard one or two. ”

Li is courageous, and his mind is extremely clear.

Xiahou Yuan didn't lose much last night, after dawn, where would he give up? If he escapes, it will be Xiahou Yuan's ear food. Twenty or thirty thousand Cao soldiers may have to slaughter more than 100,000 people.

Battle-hardened, which one is soft-hearted? If it is not used by me, it shall not be used by the enemy.

So at this moment, Li Zheng's choice is to defend the Cao military camp.

Hearing Li Zheng's words, there was a commotion among the people present, but after whispering for a while, Qian Jun stood up and said, "General Li, don't worry, we will fight bravely to guard our families." ”

"Good. You guys go down first to select men, last night captured a lot of Cao Jun's baggage, try to arm you and others. If you don't have a weapon, you should quickly sharpen the sticks and resist. ”

Li Zheng nodded calmly and said.

"No." Ying Sima and everyone agreed to the promise and went down to do business.

Then Li Zheng divided the thousands of men and horses of his department into four parts, guarding the four camps in the north, south, east and west, and selected the strong to assist them.

Guard.

..............

Li Zheng is really capable. In last night's battle, Li Guangsuo's troops suffered the greatest losses, but they only lost a few thousand people.

In the night, Xiahou Yuan didn't know if there was an ambush in secret. Therefore, after Li Guang withdrew his troops, Xiahou Yuan and Xu Lan also withdrew their troops in an orderly manner.

After daybreak, several groups of men and horses gathered on a flat land in the north. Xiahou Yuan, Li Guang, Xu Lan and others counted the soldiers, and the losses were only 1,300 people, and 1,200 people were seriously wounded.

Even if all the minor and serious injuries are left, Cao Jun still has more than 20,000 elites.

It's just that he's lost his baggage, grain and grass.

Sergeant Cao sat on the ground in twos and threes, a little tired, and his morale was not high, but it was not low either. Cao Jun is an elite of a hundred battles, and failure is actually commonplace.

Defeated and fought again, fought again and lost again.

Potluck.

Xiahou Yuan sat on a rock, Xu Lan was lying on the ground, and Li Guang was riding on a horse. The more Xiahou Yuan thought about it, the more unwilling he became, and said, "There weren't many people on the other side last night. After they have taken the people, they should go south immediately. Why don't we divide our troops to chase? ”

Li Guang shook his head and said: "The army still has the strength to fight, but it has lost its grain and grass. You don't have to let the soldiers go hungry to war, there will be problems. ”

General Lee is right. Why don't we divide it into two parts, and I and General Xiahou will lead 15,000 elite soldiers to pursue it. General Li, you led thousands of men and horses, wounded soldiers, and went to Dangyang to raise grain and grass. If this is not the case, we will come back to you to meet us. ”

Xu Lan pondered for a moment and said.

"Good. That's it. Xiahou Yuan immediately agreed, so he turned on his horse and led 15,000 elite soldiers with Xu Lan to pursue.

But soon Xiahou Yuan found that the other party did not flee, but was guarding the camp.

Xiahou Yuan couldn't help gritting his teeth, this big camp was built by us with hard work, but it was occupied by the other party's doves and used to stop us.

Xiahou Yuan and Xu Lan led 15,000 Cao army camps to the outside of the camp, intending to explore the reality and wait for an opportunity to attack the camp.

But on the gate of the camp, people and horses stand tall, layered on top of each other, as if endless.

"Knock Knock Knock !!!" There are drums and vibrations, and the horns are all famous, and the military appearance is really neat. Xiahou Yuan looked at the Cao army under his command again, although he had the strength to fight, but he didn't even have a ladder, how could he attack?

Thinking of this, Xiahou Yuan said angrily: "Go." Xiahou Yuan immediately tightened the reins of his horse, led 15,000 elite soldiers to Dangyang to meet Li Guang, who was raising grain and grass, and headed north.

Xiahou Yuan didn't dare to bring the people anymore, and the soldiers were taboo.
