Chapter Ninety-Seven: Fallen Dragon Slope (2nd Update)
Shinno.
Since Liu Bei led his troops to leave, Guan Yu has strengthened Xinye's internal and external vigilance, but he has not closed the city gates, and the commercial activities in the city are carried out normally by the people.
Guan Yu stayed in the northern city gatehouse, and from time to time he took his own soldiers and inspected the city wall with his hand on the hilt of his sword.
Of course, there is no problem.
What could be the problem?
The thief of Liu Biao's self-defense in the south is to hear that the eldest brother sent troops, and ninety percent will choose not to move.
Cao Cao's forces in the north are in Wancheng, and they should be entangled with the eldest brother at present.
"Actually, I want to play too." Guan Yu's face was cold and hard, but he sighed in his heart.
What self-motivated general is willing to defend the city?
Stinky Dad led by example, patrolling the city walls and guarding them tightly.
Can you still be lazy as a son?
Guan Ping can only eat and live in the city gate tower, and from time to time pull out Ding Feng, Ding Feng and the two of them inspect the city wall together.
Guan Ping sat in the city gate tower for half an hour, and then went out to inspect the city wall.
I immediately caught a lazy guy.
Liaohua.
This pervert is actually drowsy in the daytime, and he must have done something last night.
Lie to me that my mother is sick and ask for leave to visit my mother.
If you are sincere in going to see and forget your mother, I will eat my own knife.
Liao Hua's eyes are half-open and half-closed, as if he is asleep, and his fat head is like a sleepy insect, little by little.
"Ahhhh Guan Ping came to Liao Hua's side lightly, attached it to Liao Hua's ear, and then accumulated his strength, and suddenly roared out.
"Someone is attacking the city, someone is attacking the city?" Liao Hua was frightened and immediately widened his eyes, clenched the hilt of his sword, and hurriedly looked around, and saw Guan Ping's black face.
"Lord Sima!" Liao Hua lowered his head very weakly.
"What did you do last night?" Guan Ping said with a black face.
"My mother was infected with the cold, and I couldn't take my clothes off and serve day and night." Liao Hua said confidently.
What are you looking for? Guan Ping was speechless and looked at Liao Hua's dodging little eyes.
"How many times did you take the opportunity?" Guan Ping said expressionlessly.
Liao Hua knew that he couldn't hide it, so he could only stubbornly say: "Back to Master Sima, I didn't hold back, I came five times." ”
Guan Ping doesn't know whether he is envious? Or anger?
"Okay, you Liaohua, we are under the heavy responsibility of the lord to guard the inner city of Xinye, you are good, take advantage of the old mother's illness, go home and get a woman. Five times, how do you not die on a woman's belly? Guan Ping's anger was full, and he scolded suddenly like a machine gun.
At the end, Guan Ping said meaningfully: "How many women did you confess to five times?" ”
"Five women!" Liao Hua stubbornly continued.
Guan Ping's face turned green, and he couldn't hide his jealousy.
"Fifty push-ups on the spot, standard movements, do one wrong, and whip one." Guan Ping said.
"No!" Liao Hua hurriedly strengthened his spirit and forced push-ups.
Puff puff, Liao Hua panted and did push-ups, as if he was about to resemble an old cow who was about to die of exhaustion.
Guan Ping showed a smug smile on his face and said, "I'll let you five times, I'll let you five." ”
Lord Sima, is this jealous? The soldiers around them all understood it, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
Immediately, Guan Ping hummed a little song and happily continued to patrol.
When Guan Ping came back, he saw that Liao Hua was still panting, Guan Ping smiled with satisfaction, and just as he was about to enter the city gate tower, he saw a soldier walk in.
Guan Ping recognized that this was his father's own soldier.
"What?" Guan Ping's heart tightened, could it be that Liu Biao called?
Liu Biao, a self-defending thief, would actually send troops?
"Little general, the lord has won a big victory in front and is currently pursuing Xiahoudun. General Wei Yan's troops suffered heavy losses, and returned to the army with General Zhao Yun to recuperate. It may be necessary to attack Wancheng, so please prepare more siege equipment, food and grass materials to support. After the soldier said in one breath, he took a breath and said: "Wei Yan, General Zhao Yun brought back thirty or forty thousand people, and thousands of Cao troops surrendered. The people will be settled by the officials, and the little general will be asked to settle outside the city with the surrendered troops, so as not to cause rebellion. ”
Guan Ping was overjoyed, the preparation was really awesome, and the history books didn't lie to me, and Xiahoudun was really defeated.
And the results of the battle were huge, 30,000 or 40,000 people, and thousands of troops.
Guan Ping also realized a problem and asked, "I'm going to take care of the troops, who will guard the inner city?" ”
"General Zhao Yun takes over." The soldier replied.
"Good!" Guan Ping put his mind at ease, and immediately ordered troops to exchange defenses with Zhao Yun, and went out of the city to take over thousands of surrendered troops.
And Guan Yu also gathered supplies and quickly sent troops north.
The matter was urgent, and the generals did not do much communication.
Guan Ping got up the camp overnight and set it up on the edge of the city, if something happened, Wei Yan could rescue at any time.
After the camp was stationed, Guan Ping did two things, singled out the officers who had fallen into the pawn and managed them separately from the non-commissioned officers.
This can be more effective in preventing people from picking on their heads and driving them to escape.
Another thing is to order the generals under his command to be strictly guarded.
After that, Guan Ping sat in the tent and found a military candidate from the other party to inquire about the situation.
Guan Ping knew that he had won, but he didn't know how he had won.
The soldier was a little nervous, knelt in front of Guan Ping, and said, "Lord Sima." ”
It's still very strange in my heart, why does Liu Bei actually have this young Sima under his command?
Fu thought again, "Most of them are Guan Yu, or Zhang Fei's son, who became officials by virtue of their father's relationship." ”
How could Guan Ping know the slander and contempt in the heart of this military candidate?
Instead, he said with a pleasant face: "You don't have to be nervous, I only ask about the situation of the war." ”
The military waiter suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and told him what he knew.
This soldier was under the command of the ban, and he was not interested in Xiahoudun, so he also complained at this time: "This pursuit, General Li Dian, the general of the ban, is all opposed, that is, Xiahoudun insisted on going his own way and killed many of our brothers." ”
Who will listen to your complaints? Guan Ping rolled his eyes, asked Ding Feng in, and brought the army down.
"It turned out to be happening in Bowangpo! Or Xiahoudun insisted on going his own way. It's exactly the same as it was in history. The inertia of history is still very strong! Guan Ping touched his chin, a little disappointed.
Just like the records in the history books, Xiahoudun lightly advanced the enemy, and as a result, the army was defeated and humiliated.
Li Dian couldn't stop it.
I learned from the mouth of the military that the process was much more detailed.
"However, the results of this battle are much more fruitful than in history, 30,000 or 40,000 people, 5,000 troops, so that the population of Xinye will officially exceed 200,000."
Guan Ping touched his chin, very happy.
"It's just that these people are not easy to absorb, and they forcibly captured the plundered people and the Cao army, and I'm afraid it will take many years to be used for preparation."
But what the hell is going on?
Just let them worry about it.
........
Early in the morning, after a night of pursuit.
Xiahoudun, Yu Ban still led the defeated army to flee in front
Liu Bei took Zhang Fei as the forward, Chen Zhi himself as the Chinese army, and Gan Ning as the rear of the palace, about 12,000 soldiers and horses, and pursued all night.
Then they came to the vicinity of the Fallen Dragon Slope.
This Fallen Dragon Slope has a resounding name, but it is actually a few small hills, which can also be described as mounds.
Legend has it that 500 years ago, there was a yellow dragon who fell from the sky, cultivated on the hillside for 7749 days, and then took off again.
When people saw it, they couldn't help but bow down and call it the dragon god, so this hillside was called the fallen dragon slope.
There is an avenue in the east of the fallen dragon slope, and there is no one around the avenue, although there is dry grass, but the grass is not deep, so it will not ambush the soldiers.
Xiahoudun, Yu Ban led the defeated army to pause here for a moment, and then continued to rush to the north.
Zhang Fei rushed over without hesitation and continued to chase and kill.
Liu Bei saw that the hills on the west side had doubts, so he couldn't help but stop.
As Liu Bei stopped, Chen arrived and the Chinese army, and the rear army naturally stopped.
"My lord?" Chen Zhi was a little puzzled.
"Is there any movement in the defenders of Wancheng?" Liu Bei asked.
"No news came! Besides, Wancheng is two or three hundred miles away from here, and when the news reaches Wancheng, Wancheng will send people to rescue, I'm afraid it will take four or five days. At this moment, no one will come to save Xiahoudun, or even ambush here. ”
Chen Zhi knew what Liu Bei meant, and it was rare to say a lot of words.
"Yes." Liu Bei nodded, so he led the Chinese army and the rear army to walk through the Fallen Dragon Slope.
"Kill !!!" At this moment, a shout of killing sounded behind the fallen dragon slope.
Immediately after that, thousands of soldiers emerged from behind the slope and killed Liu Bei, Chen to the Chinese army, intending to break Liu Bei's central army and separate the front and rear armies.
A banner was erected on the slope of the fallen dragon, and the flag with the word "Li" was shining, shining brightly under the light of the rising sun.
Surrounded by a few personal soldiers, Li Dian rode his horse and stood beside the banner, watching the situation condescendingly.
"As a general, you only ordered Chen Junhou to lead a thousand soldiers as a rear army, and many banners as a confuse, and secretly pulled out 4,000 elite soldiers, not only to preserve the strength, but also to design with General Xiahou to set this place as an ambush."
Li Dian's deputy, Ying Sima said sincerely.
The general in front of him, although he couldn't personally lead the troops to fight, had excellent vision, knew that Xiahoudun would be defeated, and when the army was defeated, he could still design a counterattack against Liu Bei.
Be brave and courageous, beyond ordinary people.
But it turned out to be designed by Li Dian, and he ordered his subordinates to lead thousands of people and more banners to serve as the rear army.
At that time, there was a chaotic battle on Bowangpo, and even Xiahoudun and Yu Ban didn't know what Li Dian did, let alone Liu Bei.
Therefore, Liu Bei and Chen Zhi thought that Xiahoudun had no reinforcements, and at this time it was the best opportunity to kill Xiahoudun.
Xiahoudun met several horses last night, and Li Dian himself was among them.
Li Dian didn't dare to take credit, shook his head and said: "This battle is lost, even if it is ambushed here, at most it will scare Liu Bei away, and it will only be a small victory." It's just too late to make amends. ”
The battalion Sima was also gloomy when he heard this, Li Dian did not call the 10,000 elite soldiers of Wancheng, and even if he did, he would not have time to support.
As the saying goes, the whip is beyond the reach of the whip.
At present, he is only with 4,000 elite soldiers, waiting for work, attacking Liu Bei's own formation, plus Xiahoudun, Yu Ban 5,000 or 6,000 soldiers and horses, and turning around to kill. It's just a matter of trying to win a small game and stabilize morale.
In the battle of Bowangpo, they were defeated, and they were unjustly defeated.
There is no way, although Xiahoudun is very good at managing troops and is quite popular with the army, he is really not good at fighting. On the contrary, if Xiahoudun is allowed to guard the old nest or seek strategic places, it is really necessary to use the talents and be solid.
"There is an ambush ?!!!" Liu Bei and Chen Zhi were all taken aback, they calculated the distance, and it stands to reason that the reinforcements from Wancheng will not be ambushed here at this time.
But in the blink of an eye, an ambush was killed.
Immediately, Liu Bei and Chen Zhi saw that the other party was ambushing only a few thousand soldiers, and they immediately felt certain in their hearts, thousands of people plus Xiahoudun's defeated army, even if they waited for work, they couldn't do anything with them.
"Hold your ground and set up a phalanx for defense." Liu Bei gave an order, so the four thousand soldiers and horses under Chen Zhi's command were immediately retracted, and in the blink of an eye, a phalanx was opened, with spearmen and shield bearers in front and archers in the back, and the formation was formed in an instant.
This speed made Li Dian breathtaking.
"Liu Bei governs the soldiers, and there is really a set." Under the banner, Li Dian was amazed.
"Kill !!" Seeing Liu Bei put out a phalanx for defense, he killed from behind, turned a corner, and inserted Li Dian into an ambush from the south, intending to attack the two sides and eat this reinforcement that came out of nowhere.
"Ambush? Rushing to the big brother!! Zhang Laosan looked back at the situation in the rear, and couldn't help screaming, planning to return to the army to rescue.
At this time, Xiahoudun and Yu Ban also made a move.
"Xiahou" and "Yu" are under the banner of the word, Xiahoudun, Yu Ban is very embarrassed, the two have long taken off their armor, only wear short clothes, and have no horses, they ran away overnight, and they have already declined.
But at this moment, seeing Li Dian ambushing his troops, the second general also mustered up his morale and rushed south to Zhang Fei's main formation.
"We are to blame for the defeat of Bowangpo. A small victory for a while, but you can wear a crime and make meritorious service. Kill me as I go. Xiahoudun roared hard, with his spear behind his back, and marched forward, really mustering up his courage and fighting to the death.
"Xiahou escaped, you are looking for death!!!" Zhang Laosan wanted to go back to the army to rescue, but when he saw Xiahoudun, he knew that he couldn't have both fish and bear's paws, and besides, he was very confident in Liu Bei, Chen Dao, and Gan Ning, so he reined in his horse and moved forward, and with a spur of his spear, he drove the war horse and rushed straight away.
"Kill !!!"
The soldiers under his command roared angrily and followed closely.
The voices of the horses neighed, what a picture of the battlefield.
Zhang Fei and Xiahoudun fought in the ban, and when they first came into contact, they did not win or lose. Although Xiahoudun escaped for a day and a night, Zhang Fei also led his troops to chase for a day and a night.
Although Zhang Fei's physical strength was better than that of the other party, the other party fought desperately, and his morale counterattacked, but he was also heroic for a while.
What's more, Xiahoudun won the hearts of the army, and the soldiers were willing to die for him, willing to help him fight for a breath and wash away his shame.
As a result, the two sides were stalemate, and the tragedy was abnormal.
"Poof, poof, poof!!" In the midst of the war, the soldiers still rallied around the chief, using sparse formations against each other, but it was no longer difficult for the archers to find the opponent's archers, but they kept shooting the arrows in their hands and shooting the opponent's soldiers.
You don't need to aim, you just need to bend your bow and shoot, and most of them will hit. There are too many centaurs, shoot them casually.
Li Dian's army in the rear had the upper hand, they only had four thousand people, but they waited for work, Liu Bei, Chen Dao, and Gan Ning, although there were seven or eight thousand people, but they were the end of the strong crossbows that pursued for a day and night.
Even though Gan Ning, Liu Bei, and Chen attacked Li Dian on both sides, Li Dian divided his troops to the south, intercepted Gan Ning all the way, and rushed straight to Liu Bei's own formation, without any big results, he only needed to kill and injure Liu Bei's soldiers, and he could take a small victory to let out a bad breath.
