Chapter 107: When I Wake Up
Under Cai Chengpo, Zhang Xun led the men and horses to just halfway, and met the defeated soldiers on the road, and after hearing the situation, he hurriedly turned the horse's head and went to Shouchun. New pen "Δ" fun pavilion ㄟ.
Guan Yu cleaned up the city, and when he heard that Xiahoudun had not yet gone down, he rushed to support with 20,000 horses. Han Xian escaped from Guanzhong and came to join Yuan Shu, who was named a partial general and a general of Ping'a. Han Xian is a scheming person, and he still has a set of ways to defend the city. Xiahoudun blew up the city gate, but the city gate hole was sealed by a big stone, Xiahoudun was so angry that he jumped like thunder, waved his army to attack, and the Han army once attacked the city, and was tried to kill the city by Han Xian.
Guan Yu came, the two discussed, Guan Yu said: "It is impossible for Han Xian to seal all the city gates, and there must be a way to retreat." Tomorrow, the army will be well fed, and the morale of the soldiers in the city will be weak. ”
Guan Yu divided the men and horses, surrounded Ping'a on three sides, and the stone-throwing cart swung away, smashing the boulder towards the city. Han Xian was clumsy and commanded his men and horses to hide. Guan Yu saw that he couldn't make a contribution, so he threw the gunpowder packets on the city, and dozens of gunpowder bags lit the fuses and flew to the city, with a huge shock wave that made the soldiers have nowhere to hide. After the gunpowder exploded, it ignited everything that could catch fire on the city, and the fire began to burn. The untouched soldiers could not bear the scorching heat and took refuge, but they forgot that there were still stones flying, and they were killed and wounded.
The siege engine slowly moved under the city walls, and the soldiers stood on it, shooting indiscriminately at the city with their bows and arrows. The soldiers of Yuan finally could not stand the frenzied attacks of the Han army and began to disperse. The siege vehicle, the ladder began to move forward, set up on the head of the city, the soldiers went up to the head of the city, and began to fight frantically with the surrounding Yuan army.
Xiahoudun heard that Guan Yu's soldiers had climbed to the top of the city, and the ruthlessness of the one-eyed general came, and it was a matter of face, Xiahoudun personally led people to the city wall, and the guards couldn't stop it, so they had to try their best to protect it. Xiahou was ruthless, the morale of the whole army soared, and the soldiers screamed, regardless of life and death, climbing to the city. Xiahoudun was the first to jump on the city, unfolded his sword, and began to harvest the lives of Yuan's soldiers. When Han Xian heard that Xiahou was going to the city, he came to stop him. When Xiahoudun saw Han Xian, the evil spirit in his heart finally found a place. The big sword Huo Huo, killing dozens of soldiers in a row, came to Han Xian, and the guards around him blocked left and right to provide Xiahoudun with security in the rear. Han Xian's force value is not worth mentioning compared with Xiahoudun's, and when he blocked Xiahoudun's knife, he was shocked and spit blood. Han Xian shrank behind his guards and shouted loudly to command the battle.
Xiahoudun saw that Han Xian had made a turtle with a shrunken head, and secretly thought about how to kill Han Xian, and saw that big stones abound on the head of the city, so he had a plan, bent down and picked up a big stone, lifted it with all his might, and smashed it towards Han Xian. Han Xian always paid attention to Xiahoudun's movements, and when he saw his bravery, he couldn't help but lose his color and hurriedly ran to the rear. With the sound of the wind, the stones smashed four or five Han Xian's personal guards, and rolled and chased after Han Xian. Han Xian turned his head to observe the big stone, didn't pay attention to his feet, was mixed by a deep pit, fluttered and fell on the head of the city, the big stone swayed and rolled towards the deep pit, and was pressing on Han Xian's pair of calves. Han Xian wailed, and his legs were smashed into the city meatloaf. Xiahoudun commanded the men and horses to kill the scattered soldiers, and came to Han Xian with a knife, Han Xian had fainted in pain at this moment, and Xiahoudun took a knife in his hand and cut off Han Xian's head.
There was no one to defend the city, so Xiahoudun divided his men and horses to move the stones from the city gate hole, and the army entered the city. Pinga falls.
Zhang Fei and Xu Huang have also captured Dangtu, Yicheng and Yinling, and the four-way army has surrounded Shouchun.
The five-way reinforcements sent by Yuan Shu, except for Zhang Xun, who saw the opportunity quickly and was able to be saved, after the other four roads entered the city, they were either killed or surrendered, and General Yang, Liu Xun and others led the remnants of the army to defeat and flee back to Shouchun. Yuan Shu was stunned when he saw that the Han army had captured five cities in a few days, and he didn't know if his subordinates were too incompetent, or the Han army was too strong. Yuan Shu stared at General Yang, Liu Xun and others with an inquiring gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Tell me everything, why?" Did you hold on to the fortified city for so many days? ”
General Yang knelt on the ground, trembling all over his body and said: "Your Majesty, if it is not for the ministers not to do their best, it is really the Han army that is brave and well-armed. ”
"What about bravery? What about Finesse? When Tucheng is three zhang high, the city wall is all bluestone as the base, and the rammed earth is built, is it so unbeaten? It is clear that you are cowardly and do not do your best. Yuan Shu said irritable as he walked.
Liu Xun knocked his head like a stick, and said to Yuan Shu: "Your Majesty, the Han army has a thing, an unknown hall. After igniting, it was thrown into the city, and suddenly there was a loud noise, and the head of the city was blown out of a deep pit of half a zhang, and all the soldiers who were affected were either killed or injured. The ministers were terrified when they saw it at the head of the city, and the soldiers couldn't stand such sharp weapons, so they all ran down the city one after another, unable to restrain it. "Yes, this Liu Xun snorted and cried, and he said it very poignantly.
Lei Bo hung a triangular scarf, hung his arm and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen's right arm was injured by a stone that collapsed after the explosion of the Han army's sharp weapon. ”
Yuan Shu couldn't help but believe it, what the generals said was well-founded, Yuan Shu sat on the dragon chair with his buttocks, and said tremblingly: "When did the Han army have such sharp weapons? ”
Everyone shook their heads.
Yan Xiang said: "Your Majesty, the top priority is to find a way to stick to the city. ”
"Can you hold it?" Yuan Shu seemed to be talking to himself, "The Shouchun City Wall is no better than the Dangtu City Wall." When Tu can't hold on for three days, what can Shouchun do? ”
Yuan Xiang rolled his eyes and said: "Why don't you drive the young and strong in the city, think it is the guide, and when you fight with the Han army, the army will be pressed and it will be broken." ”
"No", Yan Xiang was shocked, "Your Majesty, in this way, the foundation of Shouchun will be gone." ”
Yuan Shu secretly praised Yuan Xiang, or his family was reliable, and he tried his best to give himself ideas. Didn't you claim to be strict in military discipline, love the people like sons, and commit no crimes wherever you go? Okay, let the young people in the city fight, and see how you can do it? Yuan Shu said loudly: "Order all the armies to attack the Han army according to the method Yuan Xiang said, so that they must not get half a step close to the city wall." ”
Yan Xiang had to say it again, Yuan Shu waved his sleeves, and went to eat, drink and have fun again.
Guan Yu and the other four led an army of 80,000, surrounded Shouchun on all sides, and began to set up camp. Before the camp was set up, the scouts reported that the gate of Shouchun City was wide open, and countless young men in the city were armed with swords and guns, and they were killed without armor. Guan Yu was very surprised, this Yuan Shu was too despicable, he actually used such a tactic. How will this battle be fought? Guan Yu's mind was spinning, as the commander of the Fourth Route Army, he had to come up with an idea as soon as possible. Guan Yu stood on the high slope, and when he saw the sergeant Yuan behind Qingzhuang forcing him with a spear, he instantly thought of an idea.
Guan Yu called over the heralds and ordered them to ride fast horses and pass on their orders.
The selected place to camp was only about ten miles away from Shouchun, and the time was extremely hurried for the Han army. Guan Yu ordered the soldiers to set up a formation, and the pikemen were in front. Suddenly, the spear of Rulin stabbed obliquely into the air, which made people shudder.
The young men were forced behind them to walk slowly, which won time for Guan Yu and them. Look at the appearance of the young men who are about seven or eight hundred steps away from the formation, Guan Yu ordered the bed crossbow to hang the gunpowder bag, and after igniting the fuse, it shot obliquely into the air, and the iron arrow was exhausted, and it was inserted into the ground, dozens of gunpowder bags exploded, raising dust all over the sky, and tens of thousands of young people were scared stupid, and they didn't know what to do?
As the gunpowder exploded, Zhang Fei, Xiahoudun, and Xu Huang each led 5,000 cavalry to bypass Qingzhuang and enter the Yuan army. The Yuan army was forced to engage in battle, and Guan Yu asked the soldiers to shout together: "Young and strong in the city, flee from the battlefield." The young men who came to their senses began to flee in all directions.
Each team of young men followed 30,000 Yuan troops, how could they resist the impact of 15,000 iron cavalry, Guan Yu saw that Qingzhuang had fled, and he also led the cavalry to kill him. The 30,000 Yuan army only hated his parents for having two legs, and scattered in all directions.
Seeing that Yuan's army had dispersed, Guan Yu and the others went around the city and killed the rest of the gates. A big battle carefully prepared by Yuan Shu disappeared.
Yuan Shu heard that he had lost seventy or eighty thousand soldiers (or many of them took the opportunity to escape), and hurriedly asked Yuan Yin and Yuan Xiang to gather the Imperial Forest Army to protect himself and his family to escape to Chengde. Chen Lan and Lei Bo heard that they were also busy with the remnants of the soldiers.
When Guan Yu heard that Yuan Shu abandoned the city and fled, he ordered Xiahoudun and Zhang Fei to lead the cavalry to pursue, and he and Xu Huang were busy entering the city to settle the people.
Yuan Shu was used to being pampered, and after running less than fifty miles, he was already out of breath and sore all over. Ordering the army to rest, Yuan Yin said: "The smoke and dust in the rear are rising, it must be chasing soldiers, the emperor should leave quickly." ”
Yuan Shu hurriedly stepped on his free horse and galloped in embarrassment, with Chen Lan and Lei Bo blocking the pursuers behind. Xiahoudun and Zhang Fei killed Chen Lan and Lei Bo like chopping melons and vegetables, and continued to chase without stopping.
Yuan Shu really couldn't run, his throat was smoking, he was trembling, and said to Yuan Xiao: "Is there honey water?" ”
Yuan Xiang's head is big, when is it, he still needs honey water, and he can't help but feel no cold to this hollowed out uncle, and said in a vicious voice: "There is some horse urine, but there is not a drop of honey." ”
Yuan Shu blew up his lungs, am I still your uncle? Lao Tzu is still the emperor now, you actually treat me like this? His thin fingers trembled and pointed at Yuan Xiang, speechless.
Yuan Xiao said to Yuan Shu: "What are you going to do?" ”
Yuan Shu only felt a sweetness in his throat, opened his mouth and spurted out a stream of blood, and fell to the ground. Yuan Yin slashed at Yuan Xiang's neck with a knife and scolded loudly: "Capricious, really a villain." ”
Yuan Yin killed Yuan Xiao, hurriedly helped Yuan Shu up, rubbed a few handfuls on his chest, Yuan Shu slowly woke up, and whispered to Yuan Yin: "Yin'er, why is it dark in front of you?" ”
Yuan Yin is busy, the signs are not good, is this uncle of his own family going to die? The smoke and dust rose again, and when the royal forest army saw Yuan Shu's appearance, they had already dispersed, and Yuan Yin was sad in his heart. No matter how he persuaded him, this clan uncle seemed to be a ghost, and he listened to Yuan Xiang's rhetoric, and he had to be called the emperor, but now it is less than a month, and he has fallen into such a situation. Looking at the helpless Yuan Shu, Yuan Yin said loudly: "Uncle clan, today you and I have really become alone. ”
Yuan Shu suddenly said loudly: "Nonsense, didn't you see that there were all my soldiers and horses all around? Come on, go and stop the pursuit of the Han army. ”
Yuan Yin saw that Yuan Shu had become so energetic, and he was angry with his teeth and claws, knowing that the limit of Yuan Shu had arrived, this was just a return to the light, the corners of his mouth twitched, pulled out the long sword on his waist, and killed himself. Yuan Shuwu didn't know it, and was still talking nonsense. Xiahoudun and Zhang Fei watched Yuan Shu's performance as if watching a monkey show.
Yuan Shu spoke, and his head suddenly cleared, "Yin'er, Yin'er, where have you been?" Touching Yuan Yin's body with both hands, the thick smell of blood hit his mouth and nose, Yuan Shu suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, laughed a few times, his voice paused, and there was no movement.
