Chapter 312: Burning the Liangzhou Army
Only by defeating the Yanshi can we continue to conquer Hedong. And almost all the soldiers and horses in Hedong are here, as long as they are exterminated, the rest of the war will be easy, and the Liangzhou army will be like a bamboo, and it will go straight to Huanglong.
Zhang Ji thought about it, and issued orders again and again, ordering the surrounding soldiers to blow the horn tightly and urge the army to speed up the offensive. At this time, Li Qi, who was at the foot of the city, saw the tragic battle situation, and originally wanted to send his soldiers back to persuade Zhang Ji to collect the army. Who knew that Zhang Ji was completely determined, and his determination to fight the first battle was to step up the urging of the offensive.
Li Xun gritted his teeth, so he had to continue to order the surrounding Liangzhou soldiers to speed up the attack. The Liangzhou soldiers, who were urging again and again, seemed to have been forced to lose their minds and launched a fierce attack for their lives.
And in the drama that commanded the battle situation, seeing that the time had come, his sharp eyes narrowed, and he made people blow the horn of retreat. After hearing the sound of the horn, a group of soldiers did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the surrounding Hedong soldiers to retreat, and then rushed down from the stairs of the urn city to the gate of Yanshi City, and quickly entered Yanshi City, leaving only Xu Huang and Zhou Cang two soldiers and horses behind.
Most of the Liangzhou soldiers and Xu Huang and Zhou Cang, who stayed behind, fought with Xu Huang and Zhou Cang, and several Liangzhou soldiers hurriedly opened the gate of the urn city and let the Liangzhou army enter.
"The four generals and General Zhou don't want to fight, hurry back to the city! We're going to put away the drawbridge!! ”
Xu Huang and Zhou Cangzheng led the army to fight, and after hearing the hurried sound of Xi Long, they immediately did not dare to hesitate, and led the army to run across the suspension bridge, and along the way, they knocked down the moat of many Liangzhou soldiers who came to attack.
Buzz~! Syllable!
The drawbridge on the moat just retracted, at this time Li Qi happened to lead the army to rush in, and immediately occupied the urn city, Yanshi City was in front of him, Li Xun unconsciously gasped for a few breaths of hot air, just when he was about to let the rushing car come and break through the gate of Yanshi.
Suddenly, a tooth keeper exclaimed with fear, and immediately scared Li into a cold sweat.
"General Lee! This urn city is covered with hay and other flammable materials, if so!! ”
As soon as the words of the Yamen general fell, the Hedong army surrounding the head of Yanshi City suddenly poured out barrels of fire oil, and the head of the Liangzhou army was suddenly frightened.
"Shoot !!!"
It's just one word, but it's terrifying, like falling into eighteen layers of hell.
Countless bowstrings rushed, and one by one the flaming rockets seemed to set the whole earth on fire. The rockets surged down, the Liangzhou army that was splashed with fire oil, coupled with the surrounding flammables, in an instant, the entire urn city turned into a monstrous sea of fire, the sea of fire was violent and violent, and the flames of the Dao Dao burst out, like a fire snake that was scurrying, swept through everything present, and countless Liangzhou soldiers became a burning man with a burning body, roaring miserably while fleeing everywhere. Li Xuan's face was bloodless, his eyes were bulging, and he looked at the terrifying sea of fire in front of him, as if his soul had been robbed. When he saw the pained faces of countless Liangzhou soldiers, he could no longer hold back the fear in his heart, led the remnants of the army behind, and evacuated like crazy.
On the other side, Zhang Ji saw Zhang Tian in the flame in the urn city opposite, and he knew that something was wrong, and his whole body seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he was so shocked that he was going crazy.
Li Xuan led the remnants of the soldiers, lost his armor, and fled frantically in a messy formation, and after the disgraced Li Qi saw Zhang Ji, he didn't have time to speak, so he was like a machine without electricity, and stopped in amazement.
His eyes were hollow, and he looked straight behind him, in the direction of their camp.
Zhang Ji seemed to think of something, his whole body trembled violently, and he looked in the direction of the camp behind him with Li Qi's gaze. I saw that in his camp, at this time, there were bursts of black smoke, and the raging fire roamed the entire camp.
"Wen Bufan!! Wen Bufan!! Treacherous villain!! Treacherous villain!! I'm going to kill you!! I'm going to kill you!! Belch!!!
Zhang Ji's chest was hot, as if he had been hit by a big buffalo, and a mouthful of hot blood spurted out on the spot, and then as soon as his eyes were closed, he fell under the horse. Li Ru hurriedly went to help, no longer had the slightest will to fight, and hurriedly ordered the remnants of the army to retreat and fled directly back to Luoyang.
Two hours later, under Yanshi City, the sea of fire faded, and all around was a burning black mess. The remaining corpses can no longer be seen clearly as before.
"It's a pity, it's a pity. It seems that the high man had left before this battle. Otherwise, General Gao and General Pei would definitely not have succeeded so easily. ”
At the head of Yanshi City, the pupils in Xi Long's sharp eyes shrank suddenly. Originally, he wanted to win back a game in Jia Xu's hands today, but when Xi Long saw the defeat of the Liangzhou army, he knew that Jia Xu must not be in the battle.
Although Wen Han attaches great importance to this Jia Xu, and even has a trace of fear, it does not mean that he has to retreat in front of him and dare not use any more tricks.
Wen Han knew that the talent of Xi Long was by no means inferior to Jia Xu, and he was defeated by Jia Xu at the beginning, all because he didn't know the existence of this person.
And after Xi Long learned of Jia Xu's existence, he must have been sure of his plans again, and when he ordered Gao Shun and Pei Yuanshao to sneak attack the Liangzhou camp, he also told a lot, thought about many possible things, and made a countermeasure to explain to Gao Shun.
However, it is said that Dong Zhuo is powerful, and he has obtained Lu Bu, who is unparalleled in martial arts, as well as a group of his soldiers, and after absorbing the 60,000 troops in Bingzhou, he can be said to be full of talents, and the number of troops has reached more than 300,000. Later, it occupied most of the counties and counties of the state with lightning speed. It has 12 counties in Liangzhou, 4 counties in Sili, and 4 counties in Bingzhou, a total of 20 counties!
Just when everyone in the world thought that no one could stop its edge, suddenly a jaw-dropping news came out. Dong Zhuo sent a 50,000-strong Liangzhou army led by Zhang Ji to conquer Hedong, and was defeated by Hedong Taishou Wenhan in Hedong Yanshi, and the defeated army in Liangzhou that came back is said to be less than 20,000, and there are 30,000 Liangzhou people who died in Yanshi City!
This big defeat, for Dong Zhuo, who now seems to be sitting on the top of heaven, is undoubtedly in front of the eyes of the world, he slapped him the big face, and this slap can be described as loud and painful.
Dong Zhuo, who was furious, temporarily let go of the idea of hacking Zhang Ji, Li Xuan, Guo Yan and others to death under Li Ru's best persuasion. Of course, capital crimes can be avoided and living crimes cannot be escaped, Zhang Ji, Li Xuan, and Guo Yan were demoted by Dong Zhuo three times in a row, and each received 30 military sticks, and took away two years of Yulu to set an example.
And what is surprising is that instead of being punished in the slightest, the military Sima Jia Xu who accompanied the army was visited by Li Ru for several days, and Li Ru had found some clues from Guo Yan's mouth, and felt that this Jia Xu was not as simple as it seemed. But Jia Xu's reaction was strange, he refused to see Li Ru, the biggest celebrity next to Dong Zhuo, on the grounds of recuperation.
Just when Li Ru was almost focusing on Jia Xu, suddenly the news from Bingzhou made him have to put his mind to the past again.
The White Wave Thief Army, which had been wiped out by Wen Han, suddenly rekindled in Shangdang County, gathering 100,000 troops. And united with the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu and Yu Fuluo to collude to capture Taiyuan County, intending to get involved in the annexation of the state. The capital of Luoyang was shaken, Dong Zhuo panicked, and hurriedly found Li Ru to discuss, under Li Ru's suggestion, Dong Zhuo sent his son-in-law and general Niu Fu to lead 70,000 Liangzhou troops to pacify the white wave thieves.
The white wave thieves were powerful, and Dong Zhuo lost 30,000 soldiers and horses, and after learning that Hedong was a hard bone to gnaw, he was weak for a while. Under the persuasion of Li Ru to first exclude foreign worries and then to the internal troubles in the town, he temporarily put down Hedong and devoted all his energy to pacifying and merging the state.
It is said that after Dong Zhuo abandoned the young emperor of the Han Dynasty and established King Chen as the new emperor, he took the post of prime minister of the country, and then excluded dissidents. Shang Shu Ding Guan and Yue Cavalry Captain Wu Fu openly opposed him, and they all ended up dead without a burial. Later, Dong Zhuo was even more lawless, and actually ordered Li Ru to poison Emperor Shaodi of Han and Empress Dowager He to deter Emperor Xian of Han and the ministers of the court.
Dong Zhuo is using the deaths of the Young Emperor and the Empress Dowager He to send a message, no matter how noble and extraordinary your identity is, if you dare to go against me Dong Zhongying, then you will only die!
Since then, Dong Zhuo has entered the palace every night and committed adultery
The palace maid, staying overnight in the dragon bed, doing all kinds of evil, entering and exiting places, often with guards, anyone who sees displeasure, kills it.
One night, in the old house of Caofu.
Xiahoudun was sullen, and found that after the wine in his hand was drunk, he smashed it very unfortunately, and Cao Cao, who had just walked to the hall, was almost hit by Xiahoudun's wine bottle.
"Yuan Rang, who offended you and made you sulk here?"
"Hmph, no one offended me, I was blind. I thought that there was finally a hero in the clan, but he was a greedy and afraid of death, and he would only flatter with evil!! ”
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, knowing that the villain who Xiahou was referring to and flattering was himself. At this time, Dong Zhuo was notorious, and his degree of presumptuousness and lack of monarchs and ministers was even better than the era when the eunuch's relatives gathered power. But he didn't do anything about it, and stayed in Luoyang, under it. Xiahoudun of the rectum must not like this, so he sulked here.
"Huh. Counting the days, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Chun and others should send Xun You back to Chenliu. And Yuan Shao had already made a move before, and Bufan also defeated Zhang Ji's army in Hedong.
It's time for me to make a move. Otherwise, it would really slow down the two of them. ”
Xiahoudun listened to Cao Cao's words, and suddenly his eyes widened, and his originally languishing expression was covered by Dao Dao essence. And when he saw Cao Cao holding a treasure knife in his hand, and saw that the scabbard of this treasure knife was made of pure gold, he knew that it was worth a lot.
"Aman! Are you going to go back to Chenliu to gather troops and horses to eradicate Dong Gou? Hey, what is this knife? ”
"Silence. Come, take out this scabbard and take a look. ”
Xiahoudun took the treasure knife thrown by Cao Cao, and after pulling out the treasure knife, seven dazzling colored lights flashed, Xiahoudun couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when he saw this knife, there were seven huge gems on this blade, each gem was different in color, and crystal clear. Xiahoudun grabbed the hand of the treasure knife, and he didn't feel a little tighter, this knife can buy at least three cities!
But Cao Cao was not attracted by the colorful light of this knife at all, he turned to look at the full moon in the sky, and his expression was solemn.
