Chapter 62: Zhang Fei's Army is defeated
Hao Pu knew that Ma Chao was unmatched, he was not his opponent, and this small city could not resist Ma Chao's attack at all. Just when Hao Pu was at a loss, Deng Xuan came to meet Hao Pu before.
Deng Xuanzhi persuaded him: "Hao Zi heard that there are loyal and righteous things in the world, and he also wants to do it, but he doesn't know the time. Cao Wei waved his army to attack Qingzhou, Han Xuan divided his troops to save Ying, Lu Zijing died, Lingling fell into chaos, how could Zitai resist the main army of Shu with a city? The soldiers of Shu are elite, and people are deadly. The lord of Shu sent troops, one after another. This son is too desperate to be saved. Like a fish in the hooves of a cow, hoping to rely on the Jianghan, it is also clear that it cannot be trusted. If the son is too sure to be able to keep the lonely city with the heart of a soldier, he can still delay the night and wait for those who return, but also. Now the horse is overcalculated, and to attack this, has not moved the sun, and the city will be broken, after the city is broken, what is the benefit of dying, and the hundred-year-old mother, Dai Bai is punished, is it not painful? This family is not allowed to ask outside, and it is said that the aid can be relied upon, so as for this ear. You can see it, it is a blessing and a curse. β
"I would like to surrender the city to save the lives of my mother and the sergeant in the city. I implore Genyuki to convey it on my behalf. Hao Pu said hurriedly.
Hao Pu was terrified in his heart, and he was really ready to surrender. Deng Xuanzhi went out of the city first to report to Ma Chao, saying that Hao Pu would arrive in a while. Ma Chao ordered four partial generals in advance, each of whom selected 100 people, and when Hao Pu left the city, he immediately rushed in and guarded the city gate.
Soon, Hao Pu personally led the army out of the city, and Ma Chao greeted him. At this time, Ma Chao's soldiers suddenly broke into the city. Hao Pu was very puzzled, but saw Ma Chao laughing and said: "Hao Zitai, you are also in my family's Jia military master's plan!" β
Ma Chao's generals quickly took control of the city gates, and a day later, Chen Wu sent Mi Fang to lead the army to the city first. Mi Fang saw the "Han" banner planted all over the city, his expression was a little dazed, and when he saw a heroic general in a white robe and silver armor on the city, he realized that Lingling had fallen into the hands of Liu Dujun.
Mi Fang hurriedly asked people to report the news to Chen Wu, and Chen Wu sighed when he heard it: "It's still a step too late!" Liu Du's army must be the main force here, so as to take Lingling so quickly, order Jiang Qin and Fu Shiren to quickly lead the army to meet, and our army is ready to storm Lingling! β
Chen Wu under the city was gathering a large army, and more and more Chu soldiers gathered over, but Ma Chao in the city did not panic at all. Hao Pu exclaimed: "General Chen Wu has already led the army to the rescue!" Ma Chao, Deng Xuanzhi, and you deceived me. Now Chen Wu led a large army to attack the city, and Lingling only had 8,000 soldiers and horses, how to deserve it? β
Ma Chao sneered: "Gutless rats! Hugh asked Chen Wu how many soldiers and horses, and we only need to hold on to this city, just wait for His Majesty's army to capture Nanjun. β
Chen Wu only taught Mi Fang and Fu Shiren to lead an army to attack the south gate, and he and Zhang Fei led the main force to storm the east gate. A tug-of-war ensued, with crossbow arrows and trebuchets fired at each other, obscuring the sky.
As the besieging party, Chen Wu's army naturally suffered heavy losses, but Zhang Fei felt that the enemy's resistance was not so strong, and it was only a matter of time before Lingling City was captured.
Chen Wu also noticed this, and he asked Zhang Fei to discuss: "Yide, Liu Du is known as an army of 170,000, and now he is in Lingling, it is impossible not to send heavy troops to guard it. Looking at this battle now, Ma Chao seems to be just trying to delay time, could it be that the main force of the enemy army is not here? β
"Lu Su died of illness, and Lingling had no one to preside over the overall situation. According to common sense, Liu Du must lead the army to attack Lingling first......" Zhang Fei touched his chin and said, but soon his eyes widened in shock at the same time as Chen Wu.
It didn't take long for Tanma to come in a hurry: "Liu Du led the army to suddenly appear in Nanjun, and the guard Zhuge Jin was defeated. Now that Liu Du has captured Nanjun, LΓΌ Meng and Lu Xun have strengthened their defense in Xiangyang to deal with the attack of Liu Du's army! β
"What! Ma Chao is really a suspicious soldier here. Chen Wu sighed, he should have thought that Liu Du did not play his cards according to common sense, and instead of attacking Changsha near after taking Lingling, he went around to attack Nanjun.
Liu Du adopted Jia Xu's strategy, causing Chen Wu to pounce on Lingling, and only took Nanjun at a relatively small cost. Now that Liu Du of Jingzhou has regained control of the three counties of Nanjun, Wuling, and Lingling, the situation has gradually become unfavorable to the Chu State.
Chen Wu immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and Mi Fang and Fu Shiren were commanding the soldiers to storm the south gate, and they almost attacked the south gate. At this time, he heard the sound of gold, so he had to lead the army back.
The two came to the camp, scolding and scolding along the way, Fu Shiren saw Chen Wu arching his hand, and then asked: "The two of us are supervising the siege of the city, and we are about to capture the south gate, why did the general Mingjin withdraw the troops, so that the soldiers of our army were killed and wounded in vain?" β
"If it weren't for me and the general attacking the east gate and dragging Ma Chao, how would you and the two have a chance to attack the city wall?" Zhang Fei hates unrighteous people the most, although he has cleared up the relationship with Liu Bei, but thinking that Mi Fang and Fu Shiren killed Guan Yu, he has always been contemptuous and hateful towards the two.
Fu Shiren was resentful when he heard this, but he didn't dare to fight with Zhang Fei, so he had to pull Mi Fang and encourage Mi Fang to argue with Zhang Fei with himself.
Seeing this, Chen Wu shouted loudly: "This general Ming Jin is not here because Liu Du's army is not here, and now Nanjun has been captured by Liu Du's army, so I should lead the army to discuss with Lu Meng and Lu Xun on the strategy of retreating from the enemy." If you want to attack the city, you will attack it yourself, and you will have to hurry! β
Mi Fang and Fu Shiren were afraid of Chen Wu's bravery, so they had to withdraw their troops according to the order. Chen Wu led the army straight to the north, and met Du Raid in Changsha, and the army continued to set off after a short rest, galloping to aid Lu Xun, who was holding Jiangling City.
As Chen Wu's vanguard general, Zhang Fei led the cavalry to the forefront, and when he passed through a valley, he saw a flock of birds flying up on the mountain. The bird rises, and the fuge also. Zhang Fei knew the art of war well, and immediately ordered the cavalry galloping in front of him to stop at this time.
It's just that it was too late, and I saw a dense rain of arrows on the mountain, and the forward cavalry led by Zhang Fei was submerged in an instant. The enemy waited for work and killed Zhang Fei by surprise, and Zhang Fei's troops suffered heavy losses.
After Zhang Fei's whole army withdrew from the enemy's range, he saw a military horse rushing down from the mountain, and the leading general raised his gun and shouted: "Zhang Fei! I am Jingzhou Wenpin, do you dare to fight with me? β
"How do you know a nobody? Come to life~" Zhang Fei sat down on the war horse as soon as he urged him, and rushed towards Wen Ping with a snake spear.
None of the sergeants beside Wen Ping could stop Zhang Fei who was charging forward, and countless souls were added to the spear of the Zhangba snake at this time. Zhang Fei slanted out a spear and took Wen Ping's forehead, and Wen Ping struggled to pull it away.
The two fought Shihe, Wenpin was defeated, and they fought and fell. Zhang Fei pursued bravely, but was stopped by a thick military formation, and at this time, the cavalry behind Zhang Fei also killed the enemy infantry to come to support.
The two armies fought fiercely, Wen Ping led the army to retreat, and Zhang Fei pursued. However, he saw a large number of Shu troops ambushed behind the mountain, and the number far exceeded that of Zhang Fei's troops. Wen Ping retreated into the military formation, but seeing that Zhang Fei was not afraid of the army in front of him, he led the army straight over, vowing to take the head of Wen Ping among the ten thousand troops.
At this time, a group of white-horse cavalry was killed in the array, followed by black and white, variegated horses. War horses are scarce in the south, and it is even more difficult to find white war horses. Liu Du had to form such a mixed cavalry to their leading general, Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun took the lead at this time, and the gentian bright silver spear in his hand was like a dragon swimming into the sea, leading the white horse to defeat the cavalry led by Zhang Fei to retreat again and again. Zhang Fei rushed to Zhao Yun under the cover of more than a dozen personal guard cavalry and fought with Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun was not afraid of him, and shook out the Seven Probe Snake Disc Gun with a pair of guns, and hit Zhang Fei so powerlessly that he could not fight back. Zhang Fei was furious when he saw this, and he didn't want such a fierce general in the Shu army.
Zhang Feixin joined Han Xuan's command, just when the state of Chu was built, and he was in a hurry to make meritorious contributions. I saw Zhang Fei's cold eyebrows upside down, stirring and rolling the Zhangba Snake Spear, and stabbing it directly into Zhao Yun's heart.
The speed of this spear was as fast as lightning and thunder, and I don't know how many enemy generals died under Zhang Fei's spear. However, the next moment, he saw Zhao Yun avoid the spearhead and grab Zhang Fei's spear shaft. The two competed with each other for the Zhangba snake spear in Zhang Fei's hand, and in the end, Zhang Fei's strength was superior.
However, as soon as Zhang Fei snatched the Zhangba snake spear, the spear in Zhao Yun's hand had already stabbed again, and Zhang Fei was anxious to pull out his portable sword to resist. Seeing this, Zhao Yun pulled out the Qingyu sword he carried with him, and slashed directly at the saber in Zhang Fei's hand, and after a few blows, Zhang Fei's saber was cut in two.
Zhang Fei was shocked, but he didn't expect that the Qingyu Sword that his former friend Chen Zhi snatched from Cao Cao's million-strong army actually fell into Zhao Yun's hands again. Zhang Fei abandoned the broken sword and fought with Zhao Yun with a spear in both hands. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun was a master of both guns and swords, and after fifteen fights, Zhang Fei saw that it was difficult to win, so he stabbed forward with a spear and turned the horse's head and left.
Zhang Fei fled in defeat, but Zhao Yun didn't chase after him, but just let him leave. Chen Wugang set up a large camp on the border of Nanjun, but when he saw Zhang Fei kneeling in the tent and pleading guilty, Zhang Fei was ashamed: "General Chen, the last general is defeated, please punish the general!" β
Zhang Fei told Chen Wu about the before and after of this encounter, and Chen Wu did not blame him, but personally helped him up and said: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, why does General Zhang need to be like this?" Ben will fight in person! β
