Chapter 189: Xiahou Attacks Jingzhou (I)
The sound was like an evil from ancient times, and it frightened all the surrounding Shu soldiers. said that it was too late and that it was fast, Dian Wei suddenly flew up, his momentum soared, and the evil was terrifying, and Wang Huaxiong killed him. Hua Xiong seemed to see Dian Wei's side, as if there was a black dragon and a white elephant, as if there was a tendency to destroy the world.
Hua Xiong's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly gathered momentum, and his whole body was pressed into the hand of the knife, and when he saw Dian Wei approaching, he suddenly slashed it with a knife. Suddenly, Dian Wei's two iron halberds had already been split. There was a loud sound like the sky cracking, and the wind and dust rushed to the sky, only to see Hua Xiong and his people and horses retreating out of the wind and dust. Suddenly, Dian Wei also came out of the wind and dust and killed Huaxiong. Hua Xiong only felt that the internal organs of his body seemed to be shattered, and a stream of blood and qi surged from his abdomen to his throat. Seeing that Dian Wei was about to be killed, a mouthful of blood squirted at Dian Wei. Dian Wei's halberd was opened, and blood splashed all over his face. And at this moment, Hua Xiong had already reined in his horse and retreated into the formation, commanding the soldiers and horses to rush and kill. Dian Wei was killed, and the morale of the Wei soldiers was greatly shocked. Cao Cao led his troops back to kill.
At this time, on a nearby hillside not far away, Ma Liang saw that the battle situation was like this, sighed, and the soldiers of the speed education beat their drums and ordered the withdrawal of their troops. The trumpets sounded together. Hua Xiong immediately led his troops to withdraw, and after more than a thousand sword and shield hands were left behind, Dian Wei's blood and qi had already dispersed, but it was not strong at the moment. Hua Xiong returned to the Wei army Dazhai, ordered a cavalry to set fire everywhere, and then led his army to attack Cao Ren with Pan Ping's army. Cao Ren's army could not resist and was defeated and scattered. The fire gradually spread in the Wei army's Dazhai. Soon, Dian Wei broke through the defense line of the Huaxiong army, and most of the Wei soldiers rushed to kill. Hua Xiong and Pan Ping didn't dare to entangle too much, and immediately withdrew their troops and left. Cao Cao led his troops to the camp and quickly taught the soldiers to extinguish the fire. This was the end of the night's fighting. When the Wei army extinguished the fire, it was already a normal time. Last night, the Shu army was attacked by this sneak attack, and the Wei army suffered more than 20,000 casualties. The Shu army lost less than 2,000 casualties. Cao Cao's thunder was furious, and the soldiers and horses were quickly rested. Cao Ren sent him to deploy and go to guard everywhere to prepare for the Shu army to rob the village again.
Let's say that Huaxiong returned to the city with a great victory, and Ma Liang and Fa Zheng were waiting at the city gate early. When Hua Xiong saw the two, he hurriedly dismounted and smiled at Ma Liang.
"Haha. Ji Chang's plan is wonderful, and he should be the first to take the lead, but it's a pity that he couldn't take the opportunity to kill the old thief last night!! ”
It turned out that robbing the village last night was Ma Liang's plan. Ma Liang listened, but he was also humble and gave up.
"The general praised falsely, and this great victory was all thanks to the desperate efforts of the soldiers. Liang just moves his mouth, how dare he take credit! ”
When Hua Xiong heard this, he laughed and admired Ma Liang even more. At that moment, he ordered the army to return to the city to rest, and then discussed with Ma Liang, Fa Zheng and others in the county government in the city. Hua Xiong sat in the high hall of the hall, everyone sat down, Hua Xiong's face was overjoyed, and he said in a deep voice.
"Last night's battle, the old thief was terrified, why not take advantage of the situation to pursue, wait for the sergeant to rest, and then rob the village at the beginning of tonight!!"
When Fa Zheng heard this, he hurriedly attended and shook his head.
"No, Cao Cao is a man who knows the art of war. The reason why the previous plan was successful was because it was unprepared, and Cao Cao's army traveled long distances, and his army was all tired. At present, Cao Cao will definitely set up secret posts around the camp, and if he does it rashly, he is afraid that he will lose more and win less. ”
When Hua Xiong heard this, he frowned, and then asked Fa Zheng.
"Then according to the opinion of filial piety, what should be done!?"
Fa Zheng's expression froze, his mind was spinning, and he groaned for a while, and then he said slowly.
"The old thief Cao divided his army before, one killed Xiangyang, and the other attacked Jingzhou. Now, although our army rushed to help Xiangyang in time, we didn't know what the situation of the battle in Jingzhou was, and we sent people to explore it first, just in case. ”
Hua Xiong listened, but he couldn't be so dignified, and laughed.
"Filial piety doesn't have to worry too much. Jingzhou is guarded by Pan Gong, and now Pan Gong's injuries must have healed. Pan Gong is the unparalleled general of my Shu State, and he also has Jingzhou's 'Erkuai' to advise him, so with those young people in Wei State, what are you afraid of!? ”
When Fa Zheng heard this, his face was calm, and he shook his head.
"Having said that, under the command of the old thief, there is no shortage of people who are strong and powerful, and they must not be careless to underestimate the enemy. It's good to be cautious. ”
As soon as Fa Zheng's voice fell, Ma Liang also echoed. Hua Xiong heard that the two of them were so cautious and didn't dare to be careless, so he ordered several soldiers to go to Jingzhou to explore in three ways.
Let's say that there was no movement in the two troops and horses inside and outside the city of Xiangyang City, and after three days. Cao Cao ordered the soldiers to beat the drums and assemble the subordinates to discuss the strategy of breaking the city. Cao Ren and Man Chong glanced at each other, and then attended Bingzhi's previous plan to discuss with Man Chong.
"According to a certain opinion, why didn't the king make the army approach Xiangyang and make a siege. As a result, Huaxiong's army was trapped in Xiangyang, Jingzhou had no troops to rescue, even though Pan Wushuang was guarding, but he was fighting alone, how could he resist Yuan's 50,000 army!! ”
Cao Cao listened to the plan, and his eyes as fine as if he could swallow the sky lit up suddenly, and then he cast a look at Guo Jia. Guo Jia smiled silently, Cao Cao comprehended, and according to Cao Ren's plan, he ordered the village to be pulled out on the same day, and set up a camp outside Xiangyang City. The armies received the order and rose up. Dian Wei first led an army to Xiangyang City to prevent the Huaxiong army from attacking. After a while, Dian Wei led the army to arrive first, and the 60,000 army set up a formation five or six miles away from Xiangyang City, and the Wei soldiers of all departments were waiting for them. Seeing this, the Shu soldiers in the city hurriedly told Hua Xiong, who heard that his face changed greatly, so he summoned Fa Zheng and Ma Liang to go to the city together. When Huaxiong and others arrived, most of Cao Cao's men had arrived, and he actually set up a camp ten miles away from Xiangyang City. Hua Xiong was furious and shouted.
"Old thief Cao is really too deceitful!! Dare to oppose the customer!! Look at me and take the order, kill it and retreat!! ”
After Hua Xiong finished drinking, he wanted to order troops to go down to the city. Ma Liang hurriedly dissuaded and opened his mouth to say.
"The general is slow, the other army has already been prepared, and the army will be prepared outside the city, if the general rashly attacks, I am afraid that it will not be easy to take it!"
When Hua Xiong heard this, his face sank, and he shouted coldly.
"If not, why don't you let the other army set up a fortress under my city!?"
Ma Liang heard this, sighed, and said to Hua Xiong.
"There are many Wei soldiers, and they are all ready to do it at the moment
g Yangrui, our army can only defend the city, and must not act rashly. Otherwise, Xiangyang is in danger. ”
Hua Xiong listened, although he was extremely impatient, but there was nothing he could do. A few days later, the Wei army camp was set up, surrounding the four gates of Xiangyang, heavily wrapped. Cao Cao saw that the moat of Xiangyang was very wide and the water was deep, and it was difficult to approach the city, so he ordered the soldiers to carry soil to fill the moat, and mixed it with earthen cloth bags and firewood and grass to make a ladder stool on the edge of the city. Another cloud ladder was erected, and Cao Cao personally led the generals to look at the city day and night. When the Shu soldiers saw that the Wei soldiers were preparing for a long-term battle, they were all shocked. One day, Hua Xiong heard that Cao Cao led his generals to climb the ladder outside the city to peep, and he was furious and rushed to the school field in the city, wanting to organize the army to fight. Ma Liang and Fa Zheng seemed to have expected it, and when Hua Xiong just arrived at the school, the two of them were already waiting there. Hua Xiong saw the two of them, his face was dark, and he shouted angrily.
"Don't stop me. If it goes on like this, it is undoubtedly sitting still!! Pan Gong took over the task and handed it over to me, if Xiangyang is lost, how can I have the face to see Pan Gong!? ”
Hearing this, Fa Zheng shook his head and smiled, and said to Hua Xiong.
"Cao Lao Thief is the best at attacking the heart in his life, if the general comes out, he will be in his arms!!"
When Hua Xiong heard this, his eyes narrowed, he was not an ignorant person, how could he not know such a truth, but the anger in his heart was difficult to swallow, not to mention that Hua Xiong also had his own reason, and shouted at the moment.
"At the moment, the Wei army is only trapped and not attacked, if we wait to be here for a few months, if Jingzhou is negligent, what if so!?"
It turned out that although Hua Xiong said that he was not worried about Jingzhou before, he was actually extremely worried in his heart. After all, Jingzhou's troops are empty, Pan Feng is fighting alone, if there is the slightest change, Jingzhou is in danger.
When Fa Zheng heard this, he sighed, his face couldn't help but show a little worry, and said in a deep voice.
"The current plan is to hope that Pan Gong can turn the tide. And our responsibility is to protect Xiangyang and ensure that it is not lost. ”
Fa Zheng said, Ma Liang is also from a background to persuade each other. When Hua Xiong heard this, he had no choice but to suppress the restlessness in his heart and wait and see what happened.
Cao Cao's more than 180,000 soldiers and horses surrounded Xiangyang City, and Xiangyang seemed to have become a lonely city. However, it was said that in Hanshou City, Jingzhou, Pan Feng's injuries had healed, and he had already heard that the soldiers at the front pass had come to report, and Xiahoudun led the army to attack. Pan Feng hurriedly transferred back the soldiers and horses at various passes, and gathered more than 8,000 elite soldiers in Hanshou City.
On the same day, another scout came to report that Xiahoudun's 50,000 soldiers and horses had arrived dozens of miles away from Hanshou City. When Pan Feng heard this, he quickly sought out Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang brothers to discuss. The two looked at each other and smiled, Kuai Liang smiled lovely, confident, and said in a condensed voice.
"Pan Gong doesn't have to worry too much, Liang has already calculated."
At the moment, Kuailiang's plan is so and so. Pan Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, and praised him repeatedly. It turned out that the Erkuai brothers, since they learned that Xiahoudun led the army to kill Jingzhou, discussed the strategy for days and spent a lot of thought, and this plan can be described as seamless. Pan Feng followed the plan, led an army to intercept the Xiahou Grain Road, and ordered the two brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang to divide their troops into two ways to set fire to the mountain. The generals of the three routes each led 2,000 soldiers and horses.
However, it was said that Xiahoudun led the army to Jingzhou, and Jia Xu taught him not to be careless about the enemy, and to explore the road. Xiahoudun has repeatedly made mistakes because of his impatience, and since Li Dian's death, his temperament has changed greatly, and now his heart is more meticulous than before. Xiahoudun then followed Jia Xu's words and ordered the army to scout along the road. Suddenly, there was a team of scouts, rushing back and forth to report.
"Newspaper!! There are two ways of Shu soldiers to cut off the small roads near and far, and all the places where they cut wood are set on fire. I don't know where the soldiers are. ”
When Xiahoudun heard this, his face changed, and when he was puzzled, he reported that there was a soldier and horse, looking at the grain road and leaving, as if he wanted to rob the grain. Xiahoudun's face sank, and he asked Jia Xu for advice. Jia Xu's eyes shimmered, and he said to Xiahou.
"Food is the lifeblood of the army, and there must be no mistakes. Pan Wushuang retreated to Jingzhou to recuperate due to injuries before, presumably at this time, the injury had healed. If he came to rob the grain, he would be in danger. The general can send a fierce general to guard. ”
When Xiahou heard this, he bowed his head heavily, and then looked back at the generals and asked.
"Who dares to go?"
When the generals heard Pan Feng's name, they were all afraid. It can be known that not long ago, Pan Feng killed Li Dian and seriously injured Le Jin, and his notoriety was prestigious. Seeing that all the generals were afraid, Xiahoudun was furious in his heart and shouted.
"You don't want to go, why don't you teach me to go in person!?"
As soon as Xiahoudun's words fell, he saw a fierce general wearing a tiger's head gold armor, holding a seven-foot tiger's head knife, looking like a tiger's head, and full of terrifying tiger might, and shouted.
"What is Pan Wushuang afraid of, a certain wish to !!"
Xiahou looked at it and saw that it was Xu Chu, he was overjoyed, and laughed.
"If Zhongkang goes, he will be able to keep it safe!!"
When Xu Chu heard this, his face was proud, and a little pride swelled in his tiger eyes. Seeing Xu Chu like this, Jia Xu's heart trembled, and he hurriedly ordered.
"The name of the tiger marquis is shocking to the world, and few people in the world are the opponents of the tiger marquis. But that Pan Wushuang is really not an idle person, and the name of the unequaled general is by no means a false name. The tiger marquis must not be careless. ”
