Chapter 778: Fierce Battle in Merge Prefecture (Part II)

After Pei Yuanshao and Hu Che'er glanced at each other, they immediately gave up their hands to receive their orders. Xu Shu wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he did not refute Gao Shun's plan. So that night, Gao Shun first asked Pei Yuanshao to lead 3,000 fast horses to the outpost, Pei Yuanshao rode his horse, led the army to move quickly, and quickly entered the Cao army camp, but saw that there were no horses around. Pei Yuanshao was shocked, knowing that he had taken it seriously, so he immediately turned around and shouted.

"Not good! If you are in a plan, be careful of ambushing everywhere and retreat quickly!!! ”

As soon as Pei Yuanshao's voice fell, the surrounding Cao army saw that the northwest soldiers had arrived, so they immediately put up the cannon. Ambushes came out on all sides, and Pei Yuanshao was heavily deployed to surround him. Pei Yuanshao killed desperately, led the soldiers and horses to break through one after another, and was killed back by the Cao army. In all directions, there were endless Cao soldiers, most of Pei Yuanshao's soldiers and horses were killed immediately, and Pei Yuanshao was killed by Cao soldiers in many places.

At this moment, Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er, who noticed that Pei Yuanshao had been ambushed, hurriedly led the army to rescue, Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er fought bravely into the tide of Cao soldiers, Pei Yuanshao's pressure was suddenly greatly reduced, Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er saw Pei Yuanshao one after another, and shouted that he should withdraw quickly. Pei Yuanshao's eyes widened, gritted his teeth, and fought desperately to find a bloody path.

Xiahou Yuan came from another way, recognized Pei Yuanshao's figure, and immediately put his bow on the arrow, aiming at Pei Yuanshao's back, a bowstring sound rang out, and the arrow flew out. Pei Yuanshao heard the strings moving, turned his head to look, and saw a huge black giant wolf rushing towards him with its teeth and claws, and by the time he reacted, his chest had been pierced by an arrow. Pei Yuanshao screamed miserably and immediately fell off his horse. When a group of soldiers of the civil army rushed desperately to rescue, Pei Yuanshao was already dead. When Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er saw that Pei Yuanshao was shot and killed by Xiahou Yuan, they suddenly became furious and bravely went to Xiahou Yuan to kill, and the two soldiers fought until dawn. Gao Shun saw that his army had not returned for a long time, and he knew what he was planning, so he hurriedly led the soldiers and horses in the city to come to the rescue. Gao Shun arrived and ordered the withdrawal of the army, Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er killed all night, they were all tired, and they were busy ordering the soldiers to retreat. Xiahou Yuan also accepted it when he saw it, and ordered the soldiers not to chase after him.

Gao Shun led the army to retreat to Taiyuan City, and when he saw Pei Yuanshao's body, he screamed miserably, and tears flowed like a fountain. Pei Yuanshao and Gao Shun are not only comrades, but also friends of life and death in private. At this time, Pei Yuanshao lost his life because of his wrong choice, how could he not be sad and not guilty!

Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er also had tears in their eyes, most of the soldiers in the city were trained by Pei Yuanshao, and at this time Pei Yuanshao lost his life, and the terrible crying could be said to be non-stop.

Xu Shu watched silently from the sidelines, sighing in his heart, this tragedy could have been prevented. But for many reasons, it eventually happened. Xu Shu left with a little loneliness, Gao Shun cried all night in front of Pei Yuanshao's corpse, and it was useless for the generals to persuade him.

In tonight's battle, Gao Shun not only lost nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses, but Pei Yuanshao, a confidant under Wen Han, also lost his life. The city of Taiyuan was silent in a state of sorrow.

The next day, Xiahou Yuan took advantage of a big victory and a great victory in morale, divided his troops day and night, and came to Taiyuan City to fight. Gao Shun, Zhang Xiu, Hu Che'er and other generals were angry and wanted to fight. But Xu Shu tried his best to admonish and shouted.

"At present, our army has suffered a new defeat, and General Pei has unfortunately died. The soldiers were traumatized and demoralized. All the generals have a grudge in their hearts, and if they go out to meet the enemy at this time, they will definitely be defeated! ”

When Hu Che'er heard this, his face was full of bruises, he was full of anger, and shouted loudly.

"General Pei was shot and killed by that Xiahou Miaocai, such a sea of blood and hatred, how can there be no reason not to repay it! Even if it is broken bones, I will take revenge!! ”

Zhang Xiu, who is usually calm, is also a little calm, and echoed on the side.

"General Pei died a tragic death in a thief's treacherous scheme, this revenge will not be avenged, how can he and I have the face to go back to the east of the river to see the lord!"

Xu Shu saw that Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er had lost their minds, and they all had the tendency to go berserk, so he had to look at Gao Shun, hoping that he would stay calm and stop him. Gao Shun is the commander of the state, if even he loses his mind, it will be difficult to protect the state!

Gao Shun and Pei Yuanshao have the deepest relationship, and they are the most angry and hateful, but Gao Shun can hold back his anger at this time. Gao Shun gritted his teeth and shouted almost out of his mouth.

"No order from me! No one shall fight! Violators will be killed! ”

When Xu Shu heard this, his heart was settled, and he exhaled a long breath. Gao Shun handled things calmly, stern the soldiers and horses, only paid attention to the guards, and fought by the Cao army, and did not go out to greet him.

Xiahou Yuan saw that the soldiers and horses had been shouting and drinking for many days and were useless, so he quickly came to Xun Yu to discuss. Xun You's face was a little admiring, and he said to Xiahou Yuan.

"This Gao Boyi is resentful but not dry, and he really has a handsome demeanor!"

"Humph! It's a pity that this person didn't come to fight, otherwise with the morale of the other army's soldiers and horses at this time, he would definitely be able to kill him without leaving a piece of armor! At the moment, the other army can't hold out, can the military division have a strategy to deal with it? ”

"General Xiahou doesn't have to be impatient. Gao Boyi is not an ordinary person, and he is complemented by Xu Yuanzhi, who has been frustrated before, and will be ashamed and brave in the future. General Xiahou confronted the enemy and slowly encroached on it, so that it could be done. According to what you can see, it is better to order the three armies to build a dirt mountain around the city, and then secretly dig a tunnel to enter. ”

When Xiahou Yuan heard this, his face froze, and he bowed his head heavily. Xiahou Yuan then ordered the army to bulldoze and build a dirt mountain, and the earth mountain was created, and then secretly ordered a fine general to lead 300 strong men to dig tunnels at night. However, he said that since the previous defeat, Xu Shu was afraid that Cao Jun would make another strategy, and he would personally go to the city every night to inspect the military horses. That night on the Tumen Pavilion, I saw that there were no lights outside the city, and the earth and mountains covered the sight. Xu Shu suddenly smiled and said to the soldiers on the left and right.

"Then Xiahou Miaocai, he will lead troops to enter through the tunnel!"

The soldiers on the left and right didn't believe it, and Xu Shu summoned a group of elite soldiers

The stone struck the floodgate, the door was closed, and three hundred strong men died in the soil. Wen Jun then excavated, and saw that there were many corpses, which was as Xu Shu expected. Later, Gao Shun learned about this matter, Gao Shun first heard that Cao Jun wanted to dig a tunnel and entered, first shocked, and then heard that Xu Shu had already found out, and immediately overjoyed.

At this time, Gao Shun already understood why Xi Long praised this person so much, and said that if he wanted to solve the crisis of merging the state, he must rely on Xu Yuanzhi's wisdom! Gao Shun then summoned Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er to find Xu Shu in person to apologize for not listening to his advice before. In fact, Xu Shu didn't take it to heart, but felt guilty that he couldn't stop Gao Shun, so that Pei Yuanshao was shot by Xiahou Yuan.

Immediately, Gao Shun and others promised Xu Shu that they would obey his words in the future, and hoped that Xu Shu would solve the difficulty of merging the state.

Xu Shu bowed slightly, and said to Gao Shun and other generals.

"Rest easy, everybody. At present, Cao's army is short of grain and grass, and according to my expectations, he will send people to Jizhou to transfer grain and grass as soon as possible. As long as this grain and grass does not arrive for a day, Cao's army will not dare to raise troops to attack the city. Now we will defend the city first and wait for the opportunity. ”

The so-called danger is not chaotic, in order to turn the tide. Xu Shu was very calm, Gao Shun, Zhang Xiu and others listened to it, and they also stopped their panic a little, listened to Xu Shu's words, and ordered all soldiers to guard the city tightly.

In other words, Xun You's authentic plan was discovered by Xu Shu, and after Xiahou Yuan learned about it, he came to find Xun You and ask for a plan.

"Xu Yuanzhi is a person with extraordinary wisdom, and he should not be taken lightly and rashly. General Xiahou might as well wait a little longer. When the grain and grass are brought to the south of the trial, the army can be waved to storm Taiyuan City! ”

Xiahou Yuan listened to what he said, and he also complied. So the two armies reached a stalemate for the time being.

A few days later, the wind and sand outside Taiyuan City suddenly made a big blow, and the vastness of the wind and sand covered the world and the world, and it was difficult to see the surrounding things clearly with the naked eye. Xu Shu looked at the wind and sand in the city, with a bright smile on his face, and hurriedly came to find Gao Shun and asked about the wind and sand.

Seeing that Xu Shu was so happy, Gao Shun's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly replied.

"This wind and sand is caused by the climate and topography of the state. At this time of year, the wind and sand together must cover the heavens and the earth. The people of the county did not dare to leave the city easily, otherwise they would get lost! If a foreigner strays into this wind and sand, and falls into any dangerous place, he will surely die!! ”

"Hahaha!! Okay, good!! ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he laughed loudly, and after saying a few good words, he asked again.

"General Gao, is there a law for this wind and sand?"

Gao Shun has been guarding the state all the year round, how could he not know that he should be the first to answer the road at the moment.

"This wind and sand will probably start in the morning and blow until the first shift of the night."

"Hahaha!! Okay, good!! ”

Xu Shu laughed again after hearing this, Gao Shun didn't know what to do, and immediately asked Xu Shu why he was laughing. Xu Shu then handed over the strategy, and taught so and so. Gao Shun was overjoyed when he heard this, and he also laughed.

"Hahahaha!!! If according to the strategy of the military advisor, the 50,000 Cao troops will definitely die without a place to be buried!! ”

Xu Shu didn't know what kind of miracle he offered, which made Gao Shun ecstatic. Gao Shun followed Xu Shu's plan, summoned all the generals, each gave orders, and each general was surprised and delighted when he heard the plan, and each took the order and left.

The arrangements of the civil army were all set, and the wind and sand had just blown the next day, and the wind was not too strong, but it was difficult to see clearly within 100 meters. In Taiyuan City, two soldiers and horses wearing grass clothes to protect against wind and sand secretly rushed out of Taiyuan City, and under this wind and sand, Wangcao military camp slowly advanced.

Fortunately, these soldiers and horses are familiar with the terrain, and they slowly groped in the wind and sand, and they did not miss the direction.

At noon, the wind and sand became bigger and bigger, and the Cao army scouts who were guarding outside the camp rushed back to the camp to avoid the wind and sand. At this time, Cao Jun did not expect that there would be two armies of soldiers and horses secretly advancing in the direction of his camp.

Gradually, at night, the sky was dark, and the wind and sand became more violent. The soldiers in Cao's village all went back to their tents to hide from the wind and sand, and only a few hundred soldiers were still guarding the camp.

It's the first shift in the night. The wind and sand have just stopped. Suddenly, at some point, two armies of soldiers and horses had rushed into the camp, and soon the camp was full of fires. I saw that the soldiers of the civilian army around him were piling up straw sticks everywhere and setting up a raging fire.

Suddenly, the fire spread rapidly, and the soldiers of the Cao army in the tents hurriedly escaped, and before they could be decided, they were hacked to death by the soldiers of the Wen army who had been guarding outside for a long time.

Cao's army was in chaos, and the flames soared into the sky. Gao Shun led a group of 800 well-armored elite soldiers to rush and kill in the Cao camp, and whenever he encountered the tide of Cao soldiers, it was like a vicious tiger meeting a group of lambs, and he pounced wildly. Some of the soldiers of the Cao Army who knew this army and horses shouted with endless fear on their faces.

"Trapped!! It's the devil's soldiers and horses who drink countless blood!! ”

Gao Shun's tiger eyes were cold, and he led the army to kill in one place, and shouted loudly.

"Thunderstorm !!"

"Thunder! Thunder!! Thunderstorm !! ”

The 800 soldiers of the trapped camp shouted in unison, like turning into 800 galloping thunderbolts, and rushed into the tide of Cao soldiers, killing countless Cao soldiers and screaming fiercely. Gao Shun, the leader, was flying on a horse, and he was meeting the panicked Chun Yudao. Gao Shun mentioned the long lance and shouted, the horse flew like thunder, and the long lance soared, right in the throat of the guide. Before Chun Yudao even came back to his senses, he felt a sharp pain in his throat. Then the body gradually lost control, and the energy passed at an extremely terrifying speed.
