Chapter 20: The Revenge of the Hardcore Anti-Dong Alliance (II)
PS: The pure wolf is not in a good state, the code word speed is super slow, there is only a day's amount, please forgive me. )
The time is approaching, the offensive and defensive battle on the city of Yecheng is still continuing, the torches on and under the city are bright, just because the Cao Liu coalition army will withdraw the main force, the scale and intensity of the battle has weakened a lot, and in the east gate of Yecheng, the main army of Dong Zhuojun has woken up one after another, when they heard that the corpse of Dong Chongjun's soldiers was desecrated by Liu Beijun, they were all angry and bullfighting, and they had to immediately rush out of the city to fight with the Cao Liu coalition army, fortunately Jia Xu repeatedly dissuaded, These main soldiers first ate some hot food that the people of Yecheng helped to process, filled their stomachs, rested for a while, and had completely recovered their strength.
At the right time, Lu Bu issued an assembly order under the instruction of Jia Xu, and more than 30,000 main soldiers of Dong Zhuojun, who were well rested, quickly assembled, each brought their own war horses, Lu Bu tied a white belt on his head, took the lead in stepping on the red rabbit horse, holding Fang Tian's halberd and shouting: "Brothers, the time for revenge has come, avenge our benefactor, kill Liu Beijun, take revenge!" ”
"Revenge!" Dong Zhuojun's soldiers, all with white belts on their heads, roared angrily! At this time, Jia Xu's exclamation came from the city wall, "Wen Hou, hurry up, the enemy's main force has not moved for a long time, and it may be fleeing." It turned out that Jia Xu found in the city that the main formation of the Cao-Liu coalition army was brightly lit, but he didn't see the figure shaking, and he knew that something was wrong, so he ordered the main force to attack immediately.
As Jia Xu expected, Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang saw that Yecheng could not be attacked for a long time, and they were already panicked, and when they learned the news that Zhang Liao's army was rapidly approaching, Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang immediately understood that their plan to encroach on the two states of Jiyou had come to naught, pretending to take turns to attack the city, withdrawing the main elite troops to rest, and loading the grain, grass, ordnance and materials that must be carried into the car, and after erecting false flags and torches, they immediately withdrew, leaving the second-line soldiers behind the palace as a substitute for the dead ghosts.
"Open the gates!" Lu Bu shouted, the east gate of Yecheng quickly opened, Lu Bu was the first to kill, not waiting for the suspension bridge to land, the red rabbit horse had already rushed to the bridge, Lu Bu's legs lightly clamped the horse's belly, the red rabbit horse jumped in the air, and jumped over the moat several zhang wide like the wind and lightning, Cao Liu's soldiers outside the city were frightened, and hurriedly raised their knives and guns to cut and stab, without waiting for the red rabbit horse to land, Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd had been swung out, "Revenge!" There was a sound of swords and guns breaking and shattering, and more than ten Cao Liu soldiers in front of the city were either killed or wounded, and they fell down in an instant, and the red rabbit horse also carried Lu Bu to the ground safely.
The drawbridge crashed to the ground, in the "Revenge! At this moment, the Cao and Liu coalition troops who stayed outside the city were all second-line soldiers, and after a few hours of siege, they were exhausted, and there was the main opponent of Dong Zhuo's army with anger in his chest, and his corpses were all all scattered like chopping melons and vegetables, and a Dong Zhuo army cavalry quickly killed a bloody road, killing behind the Cao-Liu coalition army, blocking the retreat of this batch of Cao-Liu coalition troops.
"In half an hour, slaughter them all! Avenge Dong Erjun's brothers, and then go after Liu Bei! Lu Bu shouted, and the main force of Dong Zhuojun, who surrounded the Cao-Liu coalition army, yelled and agreed, "Take revenge!" "A group of 100 soldiers of the Dong Zhuo army cavalry lined up in a neat battle formation rushed into the Cao Liu coalition army formation, or cut or stab, or rush or collide, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the Cao Liu coalition soldiers, a hundred cavalry formed of a battle formation, can easily break up the chaos of the five hundred Cao Liu coalition soldiers, steel knives cut off their heads, spears pierced their chests, war horses' hooves trampled through their bodies, every surrounded Cao Liu coalition soldiers died a miserable death. In particular, the experience of Liu Beijun's soldiers was the most miserable, even if they died, the angry Dong Zhuojun soldiers had to deliberately drive their horses and trample their corpses until they were trampled into meat sauce.
"Die! Die! Lu Bu kept yelling, kept waving his halberd, and the Fang Tian painting halberd that could break through mountains and rocks smashed on the bodies of the Cao Liu coalition soldiers, just like a knife cutting tofu, without the slightest hindrance, bringing out a cloud of blood and blood mist, which was particularly dazzling in the firelight, reflecting the same color as Lu Bu's eyes, stimulating Lu Bu even more crazy, and also stimulating Dong Zhuojun's soldiers even more violently.
"Kill!" When the last Cao Liu coalition army who attacked the city wall was chopped into meat by a knife, the Dong Zhuojun soldiers on the city also rushed down the city wall to help the battle, Jia Xu issued a reward, Yuan Shao's troops got the head of a Cao Liu coalition soldier every time, and rewarded an acre of fertile land in addition to the reward for the merits of the war, Yuan Shao's troops were mostly poor peasants who were forcibly pulled, and the land was their lifeblood, hearing that there was such a good thing, one by one also mustered up the courage to kill out of the city, and even many poor Yecheng people were stimulated by the reward, and they also rushed out of the city with a hoe and other things, Join the massacre of the Cao-Liu coalition forces.
Outside Yecheng City, the shouting of killing shook the sky, and the poor Cao Liu coalition army had been demoralized by the murderous main force of Dong Zhuojun, and saw that the main force of their own side had not come to the rescue for a long time, and most of them began to flee for their lives, but Dong Zhuojun and Yuan Shaojun were willing to let them go, and they kept chasing and killing, and the Dong Zhuojun soldiers who rushed to the back were desperately blocked, although they could not completely block everyone from escaping, but they also blocked the retreat of the large army, forcing the Cao and Liu coalition forces to besiege and kill in a big circle.
"Don't fight, the general has abandoned us, we surrender!" Faced with the fear of death, I don't know who took the lead in shouting in the Cao-Liu coalition army, and then the soldiers of the Cao-Liu coalition army responded one after another, throwing down their weapons and kneeling to surrender, but before Dong Zhuojun's generals commanded, Dong Zhuojun's soldiers had already roared, "Not subject to Liu Beijun's surrender!" "Together, the soldiers of Liu Beijun who fell to the ground were hacked to death with knives, only the soldiers of Cao Cao were allowed to surrender by Dong Zhuojun because they did not participate in the insult of the corpse of Dong Chongjun's soldiers, which indirectly disintegrated the military heart of the Cao Liu coalition army, and many Cao Cao soldiers hacked Liu Beijun soldiers to death in order to survive, holding their heads and surrendering, and in a blink of an eye, the first crack has appeared in the hardcore anti-Dong alliance.
In just over half an hour, Liu Beijun's soldiers in the second-line troops left by Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang as substitutes for the dead ghosts were slaughtered, and most of the Cao Cao's soldiers surrendered, and the rest were either killed in battle or fled into the barren mountains and mountains.
Let's not say that Lu Bu led the army to chase behind him, just say that Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang and others who withdrew first, Cao Liu and the others fled all the way to their lives, and when Lu Bu began to chase, Cao Cao and others had already fled Yecheng for more than 40 miles, although this speed was already the limit of the main force of the Cao and Liu coalition forces mixed with the horse infantry army, but Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang both knew that this distance was almost useless to the main force of Dong Zhuo's army, which was dominated by cavalry, and it was just a blink of an eye to catch up with the army, not to mention that there were black cavalry troops that were faster than the Xiliang Iron Cavalry were also coming at a rapid pace.
Zhuge Liang figured it out on the sedan chair, took Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong to quickly find Cao Cao and Guo Jia, and discussed with the two: "King, Mr. Fengxiao, although our army is evacuating quickly, the enemy's iron cavalry is bound to be faster, and your two armies will be hunted down. ”
Cao Cao couldn't speak, looked at Guo Jia, Guo Jia understood, and hugged his fists to Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang and others: "Three generals, General Huang, Zhuge Xiandi, when our army was chased by Zhao Yun and the army that day, if it wasn't for your army to save it, our army would have been wiped out. ”
"How's that going to work? Even if you stop them, you will have to suffer heavy casualties, we are allies, we have to go together. Zhang Fei, who was frank, was anxious when he heard this, and Huang Zhong also felt that it was too dangerous for Cao Cao and Guo Jia to leave the queen in person, and also persuaded Cao Cao and Guo Jia and others to go with Liu Beijun, only Zhuge Liang's face changed slightly and he did not speak.
"There's no time, you guys go quickly." Guo Jia bowed deeply, and Cao Cao also endured the pain in his lips and ordered: "The Qingzhou army all stops and sets up a formation to intercept the pursuing army." Although Cao Ren, Xu Zhen, Xiahou Dun and others were unwilling to send Liu Beijun to death, Cao Cao's order had been given, so he had to stop and set up an interception formation. At that moment, Cao Cao and Guo Jia ignored the dissuasion of Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong, and hugged their fists at Zhuge Liang and others: "There will be a period later." He rushed back to his own formation, ready to meet the pursuit of Dong Zhuojun's main force. Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong saw that Cao Cao's army had made up their minds, so they had no choice but to say goodbye to Cao Cao's army in tears, and led Liu Bei's army to continue to flee south.
……
The ugly time has passed, Liu Beijun ran out of another twenty miles, when away from the Cao Cao army behind the palace, Zhuge Liang suddenly sat up on the sedan chair, and scolded: "Two goddamn old foxes, old shameless, unreliable old things, this revenge will not be avenged, I Zhuge Liang swear not to be a man!" ”
Huang Zhong heard it next to him, and said: "Zhuge Xian's nephew, you don't have to be so angry, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, we will find Dong Thief to settle accounts in the future, and when Jia Xu and Tian Feng are caught, I will definitely break them into thousands of pieces to avenge the brothers who died in battle!" Zhang Fei also scolded Jia Xu and Tian Feng, and viciously asked the ancestors of the two.
"You think I'm scolding Jia Xu and Tian Feng?" Zhuge Liang hated and said: "I am in Cao Cao and Guo Jia, the two old foxes, treacherous to the extreme. ”
"What are they treacherous?" Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong were dumbfounded, just now after Cao Cao and Guo Jia took the initiative to sacrifice their lives, Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong were extremely moved in their hearts, and when they heard Zhuge Liang scolding the two, Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong couldn't help but be very surprised.
"General Huang, the third general, do you really want to sacrifice your lives for our queen when you are these two old foxes?" Zhuge Liang scolded and said: "In order to provoke the Dong thief to fight, we ruined the corpse of Dong Erjun who rescued the main force of the Dong thief, the main force of the Dong thief must hate us to the core, if these two old foxes lead the army to escape with us, they will inevitably be chased and killed by the Dong thief, and now they use the excuse of the palace to get rid of our army, and they must have fled to other routes, so that the simple-minded three-surnamed slave only chases us, and the two old foxes can escape back to Qingzhou smoothly." ”
Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong opened their mouths for a long time, and Zhang Fei suddenly scolded, "Cao thief, fuck your mother!" Zhuge Liang hurriedly called someone to stop him, and hurriedly shouted: "The three generals can't, Cao thief is treacherous, Anken stays in danger?" You must have evacuated from the other route first, you won't be able to catch up with them. Zhuge Liang ordered the soldiers to scatter more horse nails in the narrow and dangerous road, and arranged them again, and then led the army to continue to escape.
Let's not talk about Zhuge Liang's arrangement on the road, just say that Lu Bu led the main force of Dong Zhuo's army all the way, and in a blink of an eye, he had already killed the place where Cao Cao's army and Liu Beijun broke up, as Zhuge Liang expected, the Cao Cao army that should have been holding on in this area has long disappeared, only ten Cao Cao soldiers holding white flags remained in the local area, and there are more than 20 corpses of Dong Chongjun, which were packed in the body bags of Cao Cao's superior, and the body bags were also stamped with Dong Zhuojun's military flag.
When Dong Zhuojun surrounded this group of Cao Cao soldiers, this Cao Cao army team waved white flags, and one of them shouted, "Brothers of the Xiliang Army, move slowly, we have something to say." ”
When Dong Zhuojun's soldiers saw that this team was acting strangely, they did not immediately divide their bodies with knives, but went to inform Lu Bu first, and Lu Bu rushed to hear the letter and asked, "Say it quickly, let you die clearly." ”
The Cao Cao soldiers first bowed their hands to Lu Bu, and then pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "Wen Hou, the villain is ordered by the king to return the warriors of your army to you, please Wen Hou accept it." Lu Bu looked at the corpse bag on the ground, lightly waved his halberd to break a corpse bag, and saw the body of a Dong Chongjun soldier lying quietly in the bag, even the blood stains on his face and body were carefully scrubbed clean by Cao Caojun.
"They were all rescued by our army, and before Liu Beijun began to spoil their remains, the king ordered us to gather their first harvest, so as not to be poisoned by Liu Beijun." The Cao Cao soldier explained: "Although they are our enemies, they are warriors, and our army will not go out of their conscience to desecrate the remains of warriors." ”
"Then why didn't you stop Liu Beijun?" Lu Bu asked coldly.
"Because Liu Beijun is kind to our army." The soldier of Cao Cao's army replied: "Liu Beijun saved our army from your army, and our army cannot be ungrateful, so we can't stop it, but we still try our best to protect the remains of these warriors." Now that our army has parted ways with Liu Bei's army and withdrawn separately, the king ordered us to return them to Wenhou. ”
"Finished? Anything else to say? Lu Bu raised Fang Tian's halberd and asked.
"Nope." The soldier of Cao Cao's army said loudly: "The king wants the villain to tell Wen Hou has all the words, please Wen Hou do it." ”
With a snort, Fang Tian's halberd brushed the face of the Cao Cao soldier, cutting off a few of his hairs, the Cao Cao soldier did not dodge or dodge, and his body was still as stable as Mount Tai. Lu Bu put away the halberd and said coldly: "You are also a warrior, tell me that Liu Beijun went in that direction, you can go back, tell Cao Cao, this time Ben Hou has no time to chase and kill him, count him lucky, but next time, Ben Hou will definitely not let him go!" ”
……
There were ten Cao Cao soldiers pointing out the way, Lu Bujun recognized the direction, and soon caught up with Liu Beijun's rear team, and could even hear the noise of Liu Beijun's hasty escape, but Dong Zhuojun encountered another trouble, Liu Beijun in order to escape for his life, sprinkled with horse nails on the relatively narrow road, Dong Zhuojun's soldiers cherished their horses, did not dare to run and charge, had to cut down branches, sweep the road and then move forward, and the speed was forced to slow down.
"Wenhou, what do you see in the woods in front of you?" Finally cleaned the Zama nails, a sharp-eyed Dong Zhuojun soldier suddenly pointed to the woods in front of him and shouted, Lu Bu took out the binoculars given by his father-in-law to take a closer look, when the moon was bright, Lu Bu saw that Liu Beijun's flag was faintly exposed in the woods, and he couldn't help but be frightened, and hurriedly ordered the scouts to go into the forest to investigate, who knew that after a long time of exploration, there was an ambush in the forest, only some flags were planted in the forest, but the time for Dong Zhuojun to chase was delayed for most of the hour, Lu Bu was furious, and then ordered to chase with all his might.
"Wenhou, there is a dense forest ahead." Chased out more than ten miles, and some soldiers reported, Lu Bu had no choice, so he had to let the soldiers into the forest to investigate, who knew that it was a false flag, and there was no half of the ambush soldiers, when Dong Zhuojun chased again, Liu Beijun laid down suspicious soldiers in the critical place, and so repeatedly, forcing Dong Zhuojun to investigate clearly before he dared to advance, and the distance from Liu Beijun became farther and farther, making Lu Bu angry like thunder, and directly ordered: "Don't care about any woods and dangerous places, just chase me!" Dong Zhuojun's cavalry also held back his anger, and suddenly agreed, no matter what suspicious soldiers were in front of him at the moment, they just chased after him.
All the way to the slack, seeing that when he was about to catch up with Liu Beijun, the impatient Lu Bujun ignored the road and suddenly killed an army, directly copied the middle and rear teams of Lu Bu's troops, although Liu Bei's soldiers were not many, but they fought at the junction of the squadron and the rear team of Lu Bu's troops, and the tool used was Zhuge Lianba, Lu Bu had no choice but to give up the Liu Beijun rear team that was close at hand, and turned his head to rescue the rear team, who knew that those Liu Beijun fought and retreated, and after shooting the crossbow, he hurled into the woods and disappeared in the dense foliage, And Dong Zhuojun was not only killed by a crossbow shot by one or two hundred people, but also the distance between him and Liu Beijun was also widened.
……
"Hahahaha!" The sky was faint, Zhang Fei, who was in front of Liu Beijun's team, looked up to the sky and smiled, and praised Zhuge Liang repeatedly: "Xiao Zhuge , you are really amazing, several small troops harassed along the way, so that the three surnamed slaves were helpless, a team of cavalry chased us, and did not catch up from the ugly time to dawn, it is really a waste, and when I return to Xuzhou, I will definitely praise you in front of my eldest brother." ”
Hearing Zhang Fei's praise, Zhuge Liang, who was hiding in the ranks of the White Ear Army, showed a look of pride on his face, although the battle of Jizhou did not capture an inch of land, it dealt a severe blow to Dong Zhuojun's morale, annihilated tens of thousands of Dong Zhuojun's elite troops, and completely broke the invincible myth that Dong Zhuojun had established again, and this kind of credit was enough for Zhuge Liang to rise to the position he hoped for.
"We will arrive at Liyang soon, and then send a few small troops to take turns to harass the three slaves, use up the crossbows, delay their speed, and drag the three slaves' subordinates to help the elite soldiers into tired soldiers, and the morale will be exhausted, and our army will be able to reach the Yellow River safely, as long as we cross the Yellow River and burn the boats, the three slaves will no longer have a way to take our army." Zhuge Liang was thinking in his heart, when a cannon suddenly rang out in front of him, and a team of cavalry came out, led by a general with a square face and a slight beard, it was Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan. Zhang Liao laughed loudly, "Zhang Fei'er, do you remember me Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan?" ”
This time, Zhuge Liang was dumbfounded, how did Zhang Liao's troops get around to the front of his own army? Zhang Liao's long smile answered Zhuge Liang's question, "Jia Junshi really expected things like a god, and guessed that you would use suspicious soldiers to confuse Wen Hou, which not only made it difficult for Wen Hou to catch up with you, but also affected your escape speed. ”
Zhuge Liang suddenly realized that the Lu Bu chasing army sent by Jia Xu was just confusing his suspicious soldiers, and deliberately let himself pay attention to Lu Bujun, not only slowing down the retreat of his own army, but also ignoring the enemy who came by detour.
