Chapter Ninety-Three: Overwhelming

Chen Xiu collected his troops and returned to the city, helping Zhou Tai to dismount, and when Han Xuan followed, Zhou Tai only had one breath left.

"The last general has the honor to follow the king to fight for a lifetime, and there are no regrets! I implore the king to send the last general back to his hometown for burial. After Zhou Tai finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes.

"Youping! Yohei! Han Xuan lay on Zhou Tai's corpse and cried bitterly.

"Your Majesty, I am equivalent to Wei Jiang Zhu Ling's corpse to find this book." Several sergeants hurriedly came to report to Han Xuan.

Han Xuan picked up the book and looked at it, and there were four big characters written on the cover of the book, "Jin Kui Yao". Han Xuan was taken aback, it turned out that this Zhu Ling got this book "Jin Kui" from somewhere, which was one of the four strange books of the Taigong Art of War, but the one in front of him was a manuscript.

Han Xuan put away the book and rewarded the sergeants. No wonder Zhu Ling has not tasted defeat before, just because he is familiar with this book, the Nine Palaces and Seven Killing Formations are also contained in this book. Now Han Xuan, the Taigong Art of War, has obtained three parts, and only one "Yin Fu" has not been obtained.

After Han Xuan returned to the city, he spent the night reading "Jin Kui" in detail, and felt more and more that this book was exquisite. Han Xuan remembered what Huang Wudie's grandfather Su Lie said in his suicide note, and after reading the four military books, he had a supreme opportunity, and he couldn't help but be full of expectations for the rest of the book.

The next day, Han Xuanren carried Zhou Tai's coffin and continued to lead the army forward.

The so-called mourning soldiers will win, when Han Xuan's army arrived in Xiaopei, although the defender was Hu Zhen, the general of Wei Zhengdong, he had 10,000 elite soldiers to defend the city. Han Xuan's army stormed Peicheng for two days and one night, Peicheng was broken, and Hu Zhen committed suicide in defeat.

The entire Peiguo Department surrendered when they heard the wind, and Han Xuan ordered Zhuge Jin and Tang Shi to defend the city and lead a large army to attack Jiujiang. Man Pet sent Wu Qiu Jian and Wang Chang to lead the army to rescue, but they were repelled by Han Xuan.

Han Xuan's army entered the Jiujiang territory, and Jiujiang Taishou Huanjie heard that his son Huan Jia had been killed by Han Xuanjun, and led the army to take revenge. Unexpectedly, halfway through the march, Huanjie suddenly suffered a myocardial infarction, and the deputy general Deng Yang took over the Huanjie troops.

Zhuge Dan heard that Jiujiang was now guarded by his old friend Deng Yang, so he came to recommend himself to Han Xuan to persuade Deng Yang to surrender. Han Xuan agreed, and Liuzan, Wang Zuo and others suspected that Zhuge Dan would never return, but Han Xuan thought that Zhuge Dan was already suspected by Wei and could not go back.

Sure enough, two days later, Zhuge Dan brought Deng Yang back. When Deng Yang saw Han Xuan, he immediately bowed and said, "The last general heard that the king led the army here side by side, and he specially led his troops to surrender. ”

"Good! General Deng, if you come to surrender sincerely, I should show you for your merits. Han Xuan looked at this Deng Yang and felt that he was relatively frivolous and didn't believe him very much.

Deng Yang hurriedly nodded and said: "The king of the side by side has been invincible all the way, and he has broken the veteran Zhu Ling, and his reputation is far and wide." How dare the last general fight against the army of the king side by side? Jiujiang City has been taken over by the last general, please enter the city side by side. ”

Han Xuanbing occupied Jiujiang bloodlessly, and then ordered the servants to transport Zhou Tai's coffin to Xia Cai for burial.

Man Chong heard that Han Xuan had occupied Jiujiang, and personally led a large army to attack. Han Xuan scattered his forces in Huaiyin, Xiapi, Pengcheng, Pei and other places to prevent the Wei army from attacking him from the north, and Han Xuan only had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses and 5,000 troops in Jiujiang.

Emperor Cao Rui of Wei heard that Han Xuan had occupied several counties one after another, and urgently sent Xiahou Shang to lead troops to rescue him. Man Favor led the army first, and when he arrived at Jiujiang City, Man Favor ordered the sergeants to step up the construction of siege equipment, just waiting for Xiahou Shang's army to arrive, and the two armies joined forces to attack the city.

Han Xuan expected that Man Chong wanted to wait for reinforcements to come and surround him, so he summoned Liuzan, Wang Zuo and other generals to discuss taking advantage of the fact that Man Chong was not firmly established to sneak attack Manzhong's army and burn the siege equipment.

However, it was said that when Man Chong was inspecting the battalions, the northeast wind suddenly rose, and Man Chong ordered his generals: "The wind is very strong tonight, and the enemy will definitely come to burn the barracks, so you should be prepared." ”

All the armies of the Wei army were vigilant, and in the middle of the night, Liuzan, Wang Zuo and others burned the military camp with more than a dozen new Han soldiers and horses.

Suddenly, there was a loud shout in all directions, and the generals led by the full favor to suddenly kill the troops, and Liuzan and the others were defeated and fled.

Liuzan and Wang Zuo were defeated and retreated, and Lu Kai, the chief secretary of the army, suggested to Han Xuan that he should abandon Jiujiang before Xiahou Shang's army arrived, gather troops and horses to fight again.

Han Xuan said: "Our army only needs to hold on to this city, and the military horses of General Pingbei will be killed in Jiujiang in a few days, and at that time, the internal and external attacks will definitely be able to break the Wei army." ”

Han Xuan could not hold out in Jiujiang, while Chen Wu led the army to break through Lu'an first and behead Wang Ling. Then attacking Hefei, Chen Wuda's army stormed the city gate with new artillery, and Zhang Ying, the defender of Hefei, was hit by artillery fire and died on the spot. Wen Qin led the remaining defenders in the city to resist to the death, and Chen Wu ordered Zhang Liao's son Zhang Hu to lead a death squad to the city.

After taking Hefei, Chen Wu led the army to kill Ben Shouchun, and Shouchun guarded Han Zong, who knew that he couldn't resist it, so he sent someone to ask Chen Wu to surrender.

Chen Wu scolded Han Zongdao: "You betrayed the country, led the people to invade the border many times, and killed and plundered the people. The fame of your father Han Dang was destroyed by your hands. ”

Chen Wu immediately ordered the whole army to attack the city, and under the strong attack of artillery, the city of Shouchun was broken. Han Zong was killed by the rebels, and Chen Wu beheaded Han Zong.

Chen Wu learned that Han Xuan was besieged in Jiujiang by Xiahou Shang and Man Chong led the army, and urgently ordered Gan Ning to lead the army to the rescue, while Chen Wu personally led the army to rob Xiahou Shang's grain route.

Chen Wu Tanma found out in advance that the military rations of Xiahou Shang's army were transported from Ruyin, so he went straight to Ruyin to kill. Unexpectedly, Xu Huang personally escorted the grain and grass to come, Xu Huang saw Chen Wu leading the army coming, and urgently ordered the sergeant to protect the grain cart and immediately rush forward to fight.

"Chen Wu! As the commander of the first army, you actually came to rob the grain in person, so bold! Xu Huang raised the stone axe and shouted.

Chen Wulema put away his halberd and stood up, and smiled at Xu Huang and said: "In the past, there was only one person left of the five good generals of the Wei State, and now there is only one person left, and he actually personally escorted the military rations, is there no general available in the Wei State!" ”

"Don't talk about it, look at the axe!" Xu Huang picked up the big axe and slashed straight at Chen Wu.

Chen Wu returned to his horse and left, and greeted each other with halberds, and the two generals fought for more than ten times, each in good spirits.

Chen Wu Bawang's marksmanship was wide open, and a move was used across all directions, and Xu Huang took a few steps back with his men and horses.

Chen Wu said with a smile: "Xu Gongming, you are now old, not my opponent!" Dismount and surrender. ”

Xu Huang hurriedly turned his horse away, but Chen Wu only burned grain and left, not chasing. Xu Huang led the ambush soldiers to wait behind the mountain for a long time, and he couldn't wait for Chen Wu, so he had to stand up and sigh: "The enemy has such good generals, and my Great Wei is in danger!" ”

Xu Huang also sent his son Xu Zhen to transport grain, but was repelled by Chen Wu and Zhu Huan. Xiahou Shang learned that the grain road had been cut off, and he was anxious to discuss with Manchu Pet, leaving Manchu Pet here to besiege the city, and he personally led the army to fight back against Chen Wu.

Who knew that on the road, he happened to meet Gan Ning, who rushed to rescue Jiujiang, and after a chaotic battle, Gan Ning killed Xiahou Xuan, the son of Xiahou Shang. However, Xiahou Shang had many soldiers, Xiahou Shang avenged his son, personally led the cavalry to charge, the morale of the Wei army was greatly boosted, Gan Ning was outnumbered, suffered several wounds, and was cut off by Xiahou Shang An arm. Ganning fled to the river and sat under a tree and died.

Han Xuan saw the Wei army in the city, and expected that it must be Xiahou Shang and Man Chong who divided their troops and left. So he encouraged the whole army defending the city and said: "General Pingbei led his troops to join us, and all the soldiers went out of the city with me to meet the general!" ”

Han Xuan ordered Deng Yang to lead Jiujiang to surrender to the front, Chen Xiu to lead a thousand white-robed cavalry to the left wing, and Han Xuanzi led the army to advance in the Nine Palaces and Seven Killing Formations in the rear. Han Xuan asked people to close the city gate, and the army advanced towards the Manchu army, and if the Jiujiang troops in front dared to retreat, there was only a dead end.

So Han Xuan's entire army was indomitable, and he ordered Wuqiu Jian to lead 5,000 cavalry to attack Chen Xiu's white-robed army on the flank, and Jiao Yi led the army to block the Jiujiang soldiers, and Manzhong led his troops to attack Han Xuan's main formation.

Han Xuan was not surprised when he saw the army of favors coming towards him, and laughed: "Stupid! Full of favors, full of favors, maybe I can't fight you in terms of strategy, and you are still far behind in terms of formation! Let's let you see my improved Nine Palaces Seven Killing Array! ”
