Chapter 649: The Lonely City (I)
In the feudal era of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in this era of cold weapons, siege warfare like Fu Lin, after the siege of the city during the day, regardless of whether the besieging party beat the city or not, at night, the attacking and defending sides will stop the attack very tacitly, and wait until the next day later, and then attack the city.
However, the performance of Fu Lin's soldiers and horses today, they are naturally going to attack Luoyang at night, Fu Lin's men and horses are prepared, but they have suffered the defenders in the city, Xiahou Yuan and most of the men and horses have already gone down the city.
Although Xiahou Yuan and his men had just gotten off the city, Fu Lin and his movements were still too fast. At this time, Fu Lin's men and horses had already begun to attack the city.
Tart tart tart!
Grunt! Grunt!
I saw that Xiahou Yuan's lieutenant general, the deputy general who was left by Xiahou Yuan to defend the city, he was very panicked, and ran down the city with a bump and came to Xiahou Yuan's approach.
I saw that the adjutant general crawled and said to Xiahou Yuan: "General, General Xiahou, you ...... Oh no. ’
Because the lieutenant was very nervous, he spoke a little incoherently, but it is certain that he did not mean to.
However, the adjutant general said General Xiahou, you are not good, in this feudal era, in this era of strict hierarchy, it is fatal.
So, listening to Xiahou Yuan, he was very angry and angry and scolded: "Presumptuous, you are not good, come on, the deputy general dares to be disrespectful to me, and I will pull him down and cut him down." ”
My God, the adjutant general thought in his heart, how difficult it is for me, I just came to send a letter to the general, why do you want to kill me, didn't I just say the wrong thing?
However, if he complained, the deputy general didn't dare to say it to Xiahou Yuan in person, but if he didn't say it, he didn't want to die like this.
So, the adjutant general gritted his teeth and held back for a long time before he cried and shouted: "General Xiahou, it is the enemy who has begun to attack the city again, and the last general has come to invite the general to defend the city, General Xiahou, go back and take a look!" ”
Xiahou Yuan is a famous general of Wei in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, so we have to introduce it to some extent, Xiahou Yuan (born in an unknown year, died in 219 AD), the word Miaocai, Pei Guoqian (that is, Bozhou, Anhui in later generations) people, a famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, good at thousands of miles of raids, the official to the general of the west, Feng Bochang Tinghou.
In the early days, with Cao Cao's expedition, the battle of Guandu supervised Cao Cao's transportation of grain and grass, and supervised the generals to put down the rebellions of Changyi, Xu He, Lei Xu, and Shang Yao. Later, he led the army to Liangzhou, chased Ma Chao, broke Han Sui, destroyed Song Jian, swept Qiang, Di, and Hubu Guanright. After Zhang Lu surrendered to Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan stayed in Hanzhong, refused to fight with Liu Bei for more than a year, and was attacked by Liu Bei's general Huang Zhong in Dingjun Mountain, and died in battle.
Xiahou Yuan was the servant of the Western Han Dynasty, Xiahou Ying, and his wife was Cao Cao's wife. Cao Cao was implicated in a case in his hometown, and Xiahou Yuan took it on his behalf. Later, Cao Cao tried to rescue him, so that he could avoid disaster. At that time, Yan and Henan were in turmoil, and Xiahou Yuan abandoned his young son because of hunger and lack to feed his dead brother and orphan daughter.
In December of the sixth year of Zhongping (189 AD), Cao Cao raised troops in Chenliu, and Xiahou Yuan followed Cao Cao with the position of Sima of other departments and the captain of the cavalry.
In September of the sixth year of Jian'an (201 AD), Yuan Shao sent Liu Bei to attack Runan, Chang Feng rebelled as Liu Bei, Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Liao surrounded Chang Feng in the East China Sea, and after a few months, the food ran out, so they prepared to withdraw the army. Zhang Liao admonished Chang Feng to surrender, and he hesitated to counterattack, but he could say that he would surrender, so he sent Chang Feng to surrender, and he surrendered with Zhang Liao to meet Cao Cao.
In August of the eleventh year of Jian'an (206 AD), Chang Feng rebelled again, Cao Cao sent Yu Ban to attack, but did not relent, and then sent Xiahou Yuan and Yu Ban to attack Chang Feng together, and captured more than ten of its strongholds. After Xiahou Yuan returned to the army, he was honored as a military captain.
At that time, the army often surprised the enemy because of Xiahou Yuan's use of soldiers, and there was a saying that "Xiahou Yuan, the captain of the military academy, can travel 500 miles in three days and go thousands of miles in six days".
In the first month of the seventeenth year of Jian'an (212 AD), Cao Cao returned to Yecheng, and served as the general of Xiahou Yuanxing's army, and the governor Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao were stationed in Chang'an, and defeated Liu Xiong (also known as Liu Xiongming), a thief from Nanshan who gathered thousands of people to make trouble at the Wuguan crossing, and surrendered his troops, and Liu Xiong fled to Hanzhong.
Ma Chao annexed all the people of Longyou, Zhang Lu also sent the general Yang Ang to help Ma Chao, a total of more than 10,000 people, besieged Liangzhou Assassin Shi Wei Kang in Jicheng, Wei Kang held on for eight months, Wei Kang sent Yan Wen to Xiahou Yuan for help, for Ma Chao to gain, Yan Wen refused to surrender, and was killed by Ma Chao.
Before Xiahou Yuan's reinforcements arrived, Wei Kang had surrendered to Ma Chao and was killed by him. When Xiahou Yuan advanced to more than 200 miles away from Jicheng, Ma Chao led his troops to attack, and Xiahou Yuan's army was not in a good battle. It also coincided with the rebellion of Yang Wan in response to Ma Chao, and the army was stationed in Xingguo, and Xiahou Yuan withdrew his troops.
In the twenty-third year of Jian'an (218 AD), Liu Bei marched to Yangping Pass, Xiahou Yuan led Zhang He, Xu Huang and others to reject it, and Xu Huang broke Chen Shi and Zhang He stationed in Guangshi, Liu Bei attacked but did not overcome, and the two sides held each other until the second year.
In the first month of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219 AD), Liu Bei crossed the water from Yangping and stationed in Dingjun Mountain, and Xiahou Yuan led the army to fight. Liu Bei led more than 10,000 elite people, divided into ten night attacks on Zhang He, Zhang He led his personal guards to fight back, Liu Bei could not be defeated, Xiahou Yuan sent Zhang He to garrison the eastern part of the antlers, and led the elite to garrison the southern part of the antlers, Liu Bei then attacked Zhang He with all his might, Zhang He was defeated, Xiahou Yuan then divided half of the army to save Zhang He, so Liu Bei adopted the strategy of burning the horns in the Zouma Valley, and when Xiahou Yuan went to fight the fire and repair the antlers, he sent the captured general Huang Zhong to condescendingly raid the Yuan army, and Xiahou Yuan was killed in battle. Shameful.
Xiahou Yuan fought bravely, and had the same fierce personality as his brother Xiahou Yuan, but he neglected to use stratagem. Cao Cao also often admonished him: "When there is cowardice, you must not be brave." will be based on courage and wisdom; But knowing that Ren Yong is an enemy", but in the end he died in battle. Cao Cao sighed after learning of Xiahou Yuan's death: "Xiahou Yuan was not a person who knew how to use soldiers, and the army called him 'General Baidi', as a commander, he should not fight in person, let alone repair the antlers!"
In July of the fourth year of Zhengshi (243 AD), Cao Fang enshrined Xiahou Yuan and other deceased ministers in the temple of Taizu Cao Caozong.
In the history of Xiahou Yuan, his role in Cao Cao was actually no less than that of Cao Cao's advisers, but his death in Dingjun Mountain was also one of the other reasons why Cao Cao failed to unify the world.
Let's get back to the point, so as soon as Xiahou Yuan heard the adjutant general say that the enemy had begun to attack the city again, Xiahou Yuan did not panic at all, and he did not dare to make a mistake at all.
When Xiahou Yuan returned to the city tower with his men and horses, he saw that Fu Lin's soldiers and horses were about to attack the city wall.
Thanks to Xiahou Yuan's usual strict management of the army, otherwise, Fu Lin would not have needed any strategy, and he could directly capture Luoyang.
In this way, a tragic night battle began again, the city and the city were raining arrows, Xiahou Yuan not only personally commanded the soldiers and horses to fight, he was also dressed in armor, and he rushed to kill in front, with Xiahou Yuan's personal command, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were greatly boosted.
However, Fu Lin's soldiers and horses were not given for nothing, not to mention that the commander of the Tiger Wing Army, who was also Fu Lin's confidant, was Xu Huang, one of Cao Cao's five good generals in the previous life.
In this way, the night's bitter battle has just begun, let's make a long story short, the night's battle, at dawn, was also carried out in a white-hot state, although Xiahou Yuan's side did not let Fu Lin's soldiers and horses attack the city.
However, the Cao army also suffered heavy losses, but Fu Lin's men and horses also killed 1,000 enemies and lost 800 themselves, if Fu Lin hadn't explained to Xu Huang, they must minimize casualties.
