Chapter 599: The Battle of Destroying Cao (61)
Rattle...
The Anemo Pterodactyl turned its head and flew towards Xu Huang.
Clang!
Xu Huang pulled out the saber at his waist and fought with the Fengshen Pterodactyl. The sword strikes on the dragon's claw, pulling out sparks, just like the sparks pulled out by the handover of weapons.
Xu Huang was extremely surprised.
No wonder the Aeolian Pterodactyl is indestructible, originally made of such hard claws.
But he didn't know that the most powerful thing about the Anemo pterosaur was not its claws, but its pointed beak. The pointed beak is more than two meters long, harder than iron, and truly indestructible.
Ordinary stones are not able to resist its attacks.
And the body of the wind god pterodactyl is full of thick armor, and the sword is difficult to use.
Xu Huang struggled for a while, embarrassed.
Burst!
Suddenly, the sharp beak of the Fengshen pterosaur pecked into Xu Huang's back and stabbed it in one fell swoop.
The soft armor on Xu Huang's body couldn't resist it.
The sharp mouth went deep into the flesh and bones, and he grinned hoarsely in pain.
While Xu Huang was slackening, the Wind God Pterodactyl stretched out its claws to grab him, and when it was mentioned in mid-air, he raised the sky and roared a few times: "Quack quack..." ”
The sound was extremely harsh, attracting the attention of the enemy.
Everyone saw that Xu Huang was caught by the Fengshen Pterodactyl, and as long as he used a little force, Xu Huang's life would be at stake.
"General..." The soldiers of the Cao army were all shouting eagerly.
Xu Huang's pinched bones crackled, the saber in his hand had fallen, and his face was full of pain.
"Ahh Xu Huang screamed.
Bang!
With a fierce effort, the wind god pterosaur pinched Xu Huang to death, and then fell heavily on the street.
His body was deformed, and he looked terrifying.
"General..." Several generals loyal to Xu Huang pounced and knelt in front of Xu Huang.
The rest of the soldiers also stopped fighting.
They all knelt down towards Xu Huang.
Ma Tie and Ma Xiu wanted to take advantage of the situation to march, but Yuan Xi stopped: "Don't worry. We have the stakes in our hands to persuade them. Or you can win without a fight. ”
"Yes."
Ma Tie and Ma Xiu retreated to the back.
Yuan Xi rode forward and said: "Cao Jun soldiers, the victory or defeat has been decided, and there is no need to do useless struggles. Your parents, wives and children are still waiting for you at home, and they want to see you return safely. If you are stubborn and continue to fight, you are likely to die here. How sad will they be? Lay down your arms and surrender, I promise not to hurt you. ”
.........
No one paid attention to Yuan Xi.
Several generals kneeling in front of Xu Huang were still crying.
"Brothers, Yuan Xi killed the general and took revenge on me!" Suddenly, one of the future stood up with a look of indignation.
"Kill..." All the soldiers followed him and rushed towards Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xishi didn't expect that the enemy would fight for his life like this.
The battle that you know you will lose will be fought to the end.
It can also be seen that Xu Huang has managed the army well, and Yuan Xi mourns and feels sorry for him in his heart. If Xu Huang is willing to submit, he is a general who can fight well.
"Fengshen Pterodactyl, kill it, don't let any of it go." The enemy was getting closer and closer, and Yuan Xi suddenly shouted.
Rattle...
The Anemo Pterodactyl swooped over and rushed into the ranks of the enemy army.
Ma Tie and Ma Xiu also drew their swords and roared: "Brothers, kill it!" ”
"Kill..." All the soldiers followed behind the Aeolian Pterodactyl and quickly covered the kill.
The battle was fierce.
Thousands of Cao troops were killed.
Ma Tie and Ma Xiu's troops were also not one out of ten.
At the end of the battle, only a few hundred Yuan soldiers were still alive, and all of them were wounded.
Fortunately, Jia Xu broke through the city, and Ma Chao led the army in and took control of the situation. Otherwise, Yuan Jun may not be able to win.
"Lord, Xu Huang's troops are trapped in the east of the city, and they can't escape." Ma Chao walked over.
"Hmm. Let's end the battle quickly. ”
"Yes."
Yuan Xi walked down the street for a while, walked up to Xu Huang, and asked people to put away his body and prepare it for burial.
Among the generals under Cao Cao, there are not many that can make Yuan Xi admire. Xu Huang is one of them. In his early years, he was a general under the command of Yang Feng, a white wave thief, and protected Emperor Han Xian on the way to Luoyang after Emperor Han Xian fled Chang'an. Later, he took refuge in Cao Cao.
In history, he performed military exploits and was named a good general of the five sons by Cao Cao.
Hundreds of battles large and small, rarely defeated.
It's a pity that he is loyal to Cao and can't be used by Yuan Xi.
Night.
The war is over.
Xiangyang City returned to Yuan Xi's hands.
"What about the casualties of the various armies?" Yuan Xi asked.
"Back to the lord, there are many casualties. Of the 10,000 soldiers under his command, almost all of them were killed. General Ma Chao and Jia Xu attacked the city, and there were also more than 2,000 casualties. The judge said.
"I didn't expect this Xu Huang to have some real skills. No wonder he can compete with Lu Xun for so long. Yuan Xi was a little afraid. If it weren't for the news sent by Jiangling City's fine work, Xiangyang City would definitely be occupied by Xu Huang. Trial, as well as Ma Tie and Ma Xiu, will also die without a place to be buried.
"Report..."
A soldier came in from outside the hall: "My lord, General Ma Dai sent a letter." Gangneung Fortress has been recaptured. ”
"Okay."
Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Tell Ma Dai that he is good to guard the city." In addition, I will recruit Yang Ren, a general, to Xiangyang, and I will meet him. ”
"No." The soldier left.
Jia Xu said: "The war went more smoothly than we thought. Originally, I wanted Sun Quan to order Lu Xun to attack from the southwest and flank Xu Huang with us. Unexpectedly, in this battle alone, Xu Huang was defeated. ”
Yuan Xi said: "This is the will of heaven. ”
"I don't know what the lord is going to do with Yang Ren?" Jia Xu asked.
"Disposition?" Yuan Xi said: "He has made meritorious contributions, and he should be rewarded." ”
The minister disagreed. Yang Ren is capricious and the most fickle. It should not be included in the army, let alone reused. Jia Xu said.
"So what do you say? I can't kill him, can I? ”
At this time, the judge said: "The lord does not have to kill him, but he cannot be reused." He can be sent to Yecheng and arranged by Mr. Fu. You can be transferred to any county lieutenant in Youzhou. ”
"If such an ungrateful thing is spread out, it will not be laughed at? Just Yang Ren, even if he was given power, he didn't have the courage to rebel.... ”
Yuan Xi has always reused the generals. In the past, Yu Ban, Lejin, and Li Dian were all demoted generals. Now it's not alone. Although Yang Ren has no talent, his surrender is related to Xu Huang, and sooner or later he will be known by the world. Yuan Xi's disposition will also affect the future battle situation. If Yang is abandoned, or someone is sent to kill him, I am afraid that no one will dare to surrender.
"Don't be soft-hearted..." Jia Xu still wants to persuade again.
Yuan Xi waved his hand and said, "Sir, needless to say, Yang Ren is just a small person, and he can't afford to make any waves." Just give him a former deputy general and block the mouth of the world, isn't it good? ”
"Ugh...."
Jia Xu was so smart that he knew Yuan Xi's intentions and no longer advised. But he is really not optimistic about Yang Ren, he is really a villain, and sooner or later he will rebel.
The position of the former deputy general of the army, whether it is big or small, is really at a critical moment, and it also has an impact on the battle situation.
