Chapter 19: Retaliation of the Hardcore Anti-Dong Alliance (Part II)

The overwhelming rain of feather arrows, with Dong Zhuojun's hatred and revenge, fell on Liu Beijun's head fiercely, nailing the bodies of Liu Beijun's soldiers carrying the ladder out of bloody holes, especially those soldiers who were hit by the foot and bowed with special long arrows were even more miserable, nailed to the ground alive, but they couldn't die for a while, and found that their bodies and internal organs were pierced by six-foot-long arrows, and the screams of death were resounding in the sky, and the splashed blood instantly stained the bodies of Liu Beijun's soldiers and the ground under their feet. Although Zhang Fei, who rushed to the front, waved his spear and kept dialing arrows, he was still hit by two arrows in his body.

Liu Beijun's soldiers were almost demented, and since the siege of Yecheng was launched, Liu Beijun was hit by such a dense rain of arrows for the first time, especially in the past, because of the lack of troops to defend the city, Dong Zhuojun did not have enough troops to operate the most powerful foot bow, so Liu Beijun suffered from the foot bow for the first time in the past few days, and was immediately shocked by the terrifying power of the foot bow, and even forgot to charge and dodge. And the soldiers of Dong Zhuojun and Yuan Shaojun on Yecheng did not let go of this opportunity, and the rain of feathers and arrows covering the sun rose again, endlessly, and in an instant, it came to Liu Beijun's head, and Liu Beijun's soldiers woke up like a dream, and fled backwards with the ladder and rolling, leaving nearly a thousand hedgehog-like corpses.

"So many of their defenders?" Zhuge Liang, who was extremely shocked, stood up from the sedan chair and asked, no one could answer Zhuge Liang's question, because Dong Zhuojun's various supplies in Yecheng were too much, and even the hurriedly armed Yuan Shaojun's troops wore Dong Zhuojun's black military uniform, which not only greatly increased the sense of integration of Yuan Shaojun's troops, but also made Liu Beijun only see that the city wall was densely packed with Dong Zhuojun's archers, and he couldn't see what kind of troops were defending the city.

"Yuan Shao's surrender is the Hebei Army!" Zhuge Liang suddenly guessed the identity of the defenders in the city, but what puzzled Zhuge Liang was that before the war, he sent a fine work to infiltrate Yecheng, spread rumors to shake the hearts of the people of Yecheng, and instigated Yuan Shaojun to surrender troops to riot, Zhuge Liang is very confident in his well-designed rumors, even if he can't let Yuan Shaojun's troops surrender to cooperate with the outside and drag the defending army, at least Yuan Shaojun's troops will not be used by Dong Zhuojun, but now Yuan Shaojun's troops suddenly appeared in the enemy camp, how can this be explained?

Suddenly, a sinister smile appeared on Zhuge Liang's face, and he ordered, "Carry me to King Wei." The four hard-working Liu Beijun soldiers carried Zhuge Liang and ran towards Cao Cao's army, and Zhuge Liang was still too bumpy on the sedan chair and it was inconvenient to observe the enemy's situation, so he pondered the design of a light car and sat on the car to command the battle.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Bonghyo." Zhuge Liang jumped down and carried the sedan chair and saluted Cao Cao and Guo Jiashi, Guo Jiabin politely returned the salute: "Brother Zhuge Xian, when it was your turn to attack Yecheng just now, I didn't want the enemy to fight back so fiercely, it was really unexpected." Guo Jia deliberately said the word 'turn' very seriously, and said: "Now that the enemy's defenders have increased suddenly, it must be Dong Thief who organized Yuan Shao's troops on the city wall, and it is difficult for our two families to attack alone, so it is better for the two families to work together to attack the city together." ”

"Old fox!" Zhuge Liang scolded secretly in his heart, but his face remained silent, "King, Mr. Fengxiao, Liang Fei came to invite your army to fight, but Liang suddenly thought of an idea, maybe the soldiers will capture Yecheng without blood." ”

"What is Zhuge Xian's plan?" Hearing that he could capture Yecheng without blood, Cao Cao couldn't help but ask because he had not spoken because of the pain of the wound, and Guo Jia's eyes rolled, and he already knew it in his chest, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhuge Xian's plan, but use Yuan Shao's troops in our army formation to come forward and shout, and encourage Yecheng Yuan Shao to surrender troops and mutiny with the people of Yecheng?" Zhuge Liang smiled silently, smiling treacherously like Guo Jia.

In a moment, Cao Cao's army quickly organized Yuan Shao's surrender, most of these troops were Yuan Shao's army that was killed by Dong Zhuojun when he was brought to Yecheng, a small number of them were left behind on the road or Zhang He Gaolan was brought when the two surrendered in formation, Cao Cao's army was financially pitiful, these soldiers were still wearing Yuan Shaojun's gray and green uniforms, which formed a sharp contrast with Cao Cao's light green military uniforms, Cao Cao's army selected Yecheng local soldiers from them, about 4,000 people, led by Li Dian to Yecheng City, lined up a horizontal line, and other Yuan Shaojun soldiers lined up behind, Prepare to stand in solidarity with their rebellion.

"Fellow villagers, brothers, we are all from Yecheng." Under the command of Li Dian, Yuan Shaojun's troops in Yecheng shouted in unison: "We have all surrendered to the King of Wei, the King of Wei is very good to us, the army of the King of Wei is about to attack, Yecheng cannot be defended, you don't want to sell your life to Dong Thief anymore, hurry up and open the city gate, and we can be reunited as a family." ”

Jia Xu heard the shouts of the Cao and Liu coalition forces driving Yuan Shao to surrender his troops in the city. Trying to shake the morale of his own army, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, this is simply selling articles in the Temple of Confucius and playing a big axe in front of Luban! Jia Xu smiled at Tian Feng and said, "Mr. Wen Hao, it's time to take the children of Yecheng back to the city, how about arranging for people to pick them up in front of the city gate?" ”

The drawbridge at the east gate of Yecheng was slowly lowered, and Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang in the back were overjoyed, but it was strange why couldn't they hear the shouts of killing in the city? At this time, a middle-aged civil official wearing Yuan Shao's military uniform slowly walked to the city tower, although Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia saw him for the first time, when they saw the grade of his official uniform, they couldn't help but shout at the same time: "Oops, how did I forget him?" And Yuan Shao's troops who were shouting in Yecheng had stopped shouting in unison, and they exclaimed in a mixed manner: "Lord Tian! "Don't drive your lord!" "Don't drive!" Even many of the surrendered soldiers had already bowed their heads, and the non-Yecheng Yuan Shao surrendered troops in the back queue had already made similar exclamations.

"The soldiers of Yecheng." Tian Feng shouted loudly: "Don't be fooled by Cao Cao and Liu Bei's nonsense, now the army and people of Yecheng are united, Yecheng is as stable as Mount Tai, your family members can be fed and clothed in Yecheng, King Kang has already distributed divine seeds and farm tools to your home, as long as you drive away Cao Cao and Liu Bei, you can live a peaceful and stable life." ”

Yuan Shaojun, a native of Yecheng under the city, was fascinated by the surrender of troops, and Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia jumped like thunder, and couldn't help yelling: "Bring Yuan Shao's troops back, bring them back!" Li Dian also knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly drove Yuan Shao's troops to retreat, but Yuan Shao's troops saw Tian Feng, who had won the hearts of the people and the army, on the tower of Yecheng City, where he was willing to retreat.

Tian Feng waved his arm vigorously and shouted: "Yecheng's soldiers, hurry up and enter the city, I have asked King Kang's troops to pick you up, and quickly enter the city to reunite with your family!" ”

The east gate of Yecheng slowly opened, Yuan Shao's troops broke out into a burst of cheers, rushing to the city gate, and even Yuan Shao's troops in the back began to flee to the city gate, Li Dian was so anxious that he waved his knife to slash and stop it, but Yuan Shao's troops threw off their horses and fled back to their own camp on foot. Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang were in a hurry, and hurriedly drove the army to attack the city and chased the deserters.

"Brothers from Hebei in the back, run quickly, tomorrow you can come to Yecheng to get the travel money and dry food home." Under the command of Tian Feng, the Yuan Shao troops on the city of Yecheng shouted in unison in the Hebei dialect, and the more than 100,000 Yuan Shaojun who were behind heard such a shout, and immediately scattered, almost all of them fled, poor Cao Cao Jun and Liu Beijun had to guard against Dong Zhuo's army from going out of the city to raid, but also to prevent the troops from escaping, and they were rushed into chaos in an instant, and more unlucky ghosts were trampled to death by these soldiers.

"Don't care about surrendering troops, concentrate your forces to attack Yecheng." Because of Tian Feng's sudden appearance, Zhuge Liang was self-defeating, but he shook his military heart, Zhuge Liang was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and said fiercely to Cao Cao and Guo Jia: "Our two armies must break through Yecheng within five hours, otherwise once the main force of Dong Thief breathes, it is difficult for us to say whether we can safely evacuate Jizhou." After speaking, Zhuge Liang rushed back to the formation on foot, and he didn't even have time to make a sedan chair.

Zhuge Liang's attitude was very impolite, but Cao Cao and Guo Jia knew that the situation was very dangerous now, Cao Cao forcibly endured the pain in his lips and shouted: "Attack the city immediately, if there is a retreat, behead!" Over there, Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei in Liu Bei's army also shouted: "Attack the city immediately, don't retreat, don't give the enemy a chance to breathe!" ”

Seeing the Cao Liu coalition army killing from all sides, Tian Feng retreated from the city tower and said to Jia Xu: "Next, it's up to Jia Junshi." Jia Xu bowed deeply to Tian Feng, then walked up to the city tower and shouted: "All armies are ready, you must hold Yecheng!" ”

Cao Cao's army is about 70,000 people (PS: Cao Cao took back the 40,000 feints to deceive Jia Xu), Liu Bei's army is about 40,000, and the 110,000 army is pouring up from all sides, and the momentum is really scary, and there are only more than 40,000 defenders in Yecheng who can fight, but they occupy a favorable position, and there are also the people of Yecheng to provide logistical support, in fact, Cao Cao's army and Liu Bei's army are not absolutely sure of capturing Yecheng. Cao Cao, Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang actually knew this situation well, but they had a hard time, and they would withdraw their troops now, needless to say, it was a pity that they were defeated, and most of the terrain in Hebei was plains, and Dong Zhuo's army, which was dominated by cavalry, could easily catch up with the Cao-Liu coalition army, and at that time, the angry Dong Zhuo army was very likely to make the withdrawal of the Cao-Liu coalition army a rout.

The sun has set down the mountain, the Cao-Liu coalition army is noisy and marching, the city is flying like locusts, the Cao-Liu coalition soldiers continue to wail and fall, but the soldiers behind are driven by the supervision team, still charge more than once, fortunately, after a few days of offensive and defensive battles, the moat of Yecheng has been filled in by corpses, fallen trees and rolling stones, etc., the Cao-Liu coalition army can cross the moat on foot without the risk of falling into the water and drowning, but when they rushed to the city, the rolling mountains and falling trees and other things on Yecheng still kept falling like hail, and the Cao-Liu coalition army suffered heavy casualties.

After all, the Cao-Liu coalition army has an advantage in strength, risking the full strength of the defenders' attack, the cloud ladder still has set up the city wall, and the regular army of Dong Zhuo's army has given up the foot and bow, waiting at the head of the city for a long time, Zhao Yun rushed to the front with a counter-scale gun, the steel gun or pick or stab, smash and push, the Cao Liu coalition soldiers who climbed the city wall screamed and fell down the city, and Dong Chong, who was tied with a white belt in the back, was holding a ghost head knife imitated by the eldest brother, as if he had found the courage of the year to fight Xiliang with the eldest brother, and kept slashing and killing the enemy, and roared angrily every time he cut a knife, "Brute!" Especially Liu Beijun's soldiers, even after being hacked to death by Dong Chong, Dong Chong had to take the time to make up for them and cut their corpses to pieces. The soldiers of Dong Zhuojun shouted "revenge", brandished knives and guns across the city, chopped and stabbed with the Cao and Liu coalition forces, and from time to time there were serious injuries and dying, Dong Zhuojun soldiers shouted the slogan of revenge, hugged the enemy and rolled down the city wall, and died with the enemy. On the city walls, there were shouts and roars everywhere, and there was bloody wind and rain everywhere.

"Pour the oil!" When the enemy under the city was dense to the extreme, Jia Xu shouted, pots and barrels of fire oil smashed down the city, the fire was churning, the smell of burnt skin and flesh was disgusting, countless Liu Beijun and Cao Cao soldiers were howling and rolling in the flames, although the fire hurt the already scarred Yecheng city wall more, but Jia Xu didn't have to care anymore, it was the time of the city, at most until tonight, the main force of Dong Zhuo's army in the city could recover his strength and fill his belly, and at that time, it was the end of the Cao-Liu coalition army!

When the last batch of fire oil was used up, the city of Yecheng was already a sea of fire, the flesh and blood of the soldiers of the Cao Liu coalition army were not capable of fighting in the fire, and the siege team was temporarily repulsed, taking this precious opportunity, the soldiers of Dong Zhuojun and Yuan Shao took the opportunity to bandage their wounds, replenish the ordnance and arrows, and even the soldiers took the opportunity to eat some food and wine sent by the people of Yecheng. But the Cao Liu coalition army under the city was not so lucky, not only to face the rain of arrows pouring from the city, but also had no chance to retreat and rest, when the fire subsided slightly, they were forced to resist the cloud ladder and rush to the city that was still blazing.

Another round of siege warfare began, most of the soldiers on both sides were wounded, the battle has entered the white heat, the dense as ants of the Cao Liu coalition soldiers kept moving forward, kept climbing to the city wall, and Dong Zhuojun held on to the head of the city, desperately drove the Cao Liu coalition army off the city wall, the battle reached this point, whether Dong Zhuo's soldiers or Yuan Shao's troops surrendered, they have all forgotten what they are fighting for, who they are fighting for, they only know that they can't stop waving knives and guns, and they can't kill the enemy, they have to die! Corpses and living people kept falling from the city walls, and if they were smashed casually, they could knock down one or two Cao-Liu allied soldiers, and there were too many enemies.

Time has entered the sea, the bloody battle is still going on, is nervously watching the battle on the city wall Jia Xu suddenly found a tall figure rushing in the city, Jia Xu immediately ran down the city tower, stopped the man and shouted: "Wen Hou, go back and rest, now you can't go up!" Although the physically strong Lu Bu was tired enough, he was the first person in Dong Zhuojun's main force to wake up from his deep sleep, and when he heard the Dong Zhuojun soldiers who were nursing him crying about Liu Beijun's soldiers' atrocities against Dong Erjun's soldiers, he almost exploded his chest, and without even drinking a sip of water, he grabbed Fang Tian's halberd and rushed up to the city wall, wanting to immediately participate in the battle to defend the city.

"Why?" Lu Butong roared with red eyes: "These beasts dare to treat our benefactors like that, I will kill them all!" ”

"I understand your feelings." Jia Xu said heavily: "But you are too tired, you go down first and rest for a while, eat something, and recover your strength." Speaking of this, Jia Xu clenched his fists and said: "When you arrive, you will take our main force out of the city, kill all these beasts, and avenge Dong Chongjun!" No matter how you kill, I will never stop you, and if anything happens, I will bear it for you! ”

Jia Xu's words made Lu Bu's blood boil, and Lu Bu roared, "Okay, when it's time to get there, I must kill all these beasts!" After speaking, Lu Bu hurriedly went down to the city to stop the impulsive behavior of the main soldiers of Dong Zhuojun, who were gradually waking up, and under Kang Peng's vigorous cultivation and teaching, Lu Bu also matured a lot.

At the same time, in the main formation of the Cao-Liu coalition army on the periphery of Yecheng, Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang and others saw that Yecheng still showed no signs of falling under the long-term attack, and the faces of the three of them became more and more ugly, and they all saw that it was not that the soldiers of the Cao-Liu coalition army did not need to die, but that the defenders on Yecheng were too tenacious and almost in a state of madness, and for an army, the enemy in this state of madness was the most terrible and difficult to defeat.

After another moment, a scout in the north galloped over, with the help of the torches as dense as stars, Zhuge Liang could see at a glance that this was the scout he sent to the north to investigate, although Zhuge Liang was young, but his personality was extremely cautious, the usual army only patrolled a hundred miles, at most one hundred and fifty miles, and Zhuge Liang asked the scout to probe the distance of more than two hundred miles around his army, it was obvious that this scout had brought some news.

The scout rushed to Dong Zhuojun, and was about to report loudly as usual, but Zhuge Liang motioned for him to whisper in his ear, when the scout finished speaking, although Zhuge Liang's face did not change, but his body was already soaked in cold sweat, Zhuge Liang lowered his head and thought for a moment, and ordered: "Go to the front and invite the third general and General Huang to come back, just say that there is something important to discuss." ”

"Brother Zhuge Xian, what's going on?" Guo Jia suddenly appeared beside Zhuge Liang, pretending to be careless, but asked nervously in his heart: "Why did you withdraw the leading generals in the battle?" ”

"Cunning stuff." Zhuge Liang scolded secretly in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "Zhang Liao is here, his 20,000 black cavalry army is already two hundred miles away, this is still more than two hours ago news, with the speed of the black cavalry, it will probably be able to rush to the outskirts of Yecheng in a few hours." ”

"Zhang Liao?" Guo Jia could no longer force his composure, and said in a lost voice: "He should sweep Yuan Shao's empty city in Youzhou?" How did you get to Yecheng so quickly? ”

"Be quiet." Zhuge Liang made a low gesture and analyzed: "Zhang Liao was put in Taiyuan by Dong Thief for several years, holding back his murderous spirit, seeing the same generals make meritorious achievements, he definitely can't look down on the small merits of sweeping the empty city of Youzhou, Gongsun Du in the north used to be a subordinate of Dong Thief, and Dong Thief has always been friendly, with Gongsun Du's strength, he didn't dare to rob Youzhou with Dong Thief, Zhang Liao in order to make meritorious service, he handed over the task of sweeping Youzhou to his deputy, and led the elite of the Black Cavalry Army to the south for reinforcements, wanting to fight for the merit of killing Yuan Shao. Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly: "It's just that Yuan Shao perished early, and Zhang Liao's credit will probably be found from us." ”

Guo Jia wiped the cold sweat on his head without saying a word, suddenly turned around and ran back to the camp of Cao Cao's army, it didn't take long for Cao Cao's army and Liu Bei's generals to receive an order, in view of Yecheng's long-term attack, Cao Cao's army and Liu Bei's soldiers were already very tired, and the main generals of both sides decided to withdraw a group of soldiers to rest first, and take turns to attack the city......
