Chapter 231: The Battle of Martial Arts 15

Chen Gong guessed well, Xu Rong was indeed suspicious, Dong Zhuo had never relaxed on the intelligence collection of the Yizhou Army, so the generals of the Xiliang Army were familiar with the names and appearances of the generals under Liu Zhang, although there were always soldiers and horses entering the city of Yixian in the past few days, but there were twenty or thirty thousand reinforcements before and after, and I didn't see a general who commanded the army. Moreover, Xu Rong also figured out the grain and grass situation in Yixian County from Dong Min, and at the same time knew from Dong Min that the Yizhou Army attacked Yixian County lightly, and did not carry any materials at all, and the reinforcements did not carry much baggage supplies. Besides, if the place is changed, Xu Rongjuan will not send reinforcements into Yixian in a grand manner, he will choose the army to bypass Yixian and secretly ambush on the way to Wugong, so that he can take advantage of the enemy's eagerness to return to the martial arts, so that the other party mistakenly thinks that his troops are insufficient and there is hope of breaking through, so he rashly leads the army back to the martial arts, and finally falls into his own ambush......

All of this made Xu Rong suspicious, and he was even ready to fight and lead the army back to martial arts.

At this time, the pro-soldiers reported that the Yizhou Army actually had reinforcements. It didn't take long for the soldiers to report again, and Zhang Fei, the general of Yizhou, called for war outside the city, specifying that Xu Rong should be allowed to fight.

Of course, Xu Rong, the name of the deputy commander of the Fourth Field Corps of the Yizhou Army, also knew that Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, and when he and Lu Bu were ordered to block the enemy, they killed a person named Liu Bei......

Xu Rong naturally would not fight easily, he led a few personal soldiers to the city wall, and sure enough, he saw that the general under the city was eight feet long, with a leopard's head and eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's whiskers, and a spear in his hand, and asked Xu Rong's elders with a spurt.

At the time of the ambush battle, the sky was gray, and Xu Rong and Zhang Fei were not masked, but based on comprehensive intelligence, he still judged that this person was indeed Zhang Fei. Looking at the 3,000 people brought by Zhang Fei, all of them were tired, and at a glance, he knew that they had just experienced the hardships of a long march, and he couldn't help but put a question mark on his previous suspicions.

"It seems that Wei Yan is indeed sending troops to support Yixian!" Xu Rong secretly wondered.

Under the city, Zhang Fei, who was scolding Zhenghuan, saw that he would go to the city, and he had been eager to swallow Xu Rong alive for several years, but he didn't know Xu Rong's true face in Lushan, but when he saw the other party's bright clothes and armor, he was very pompous, and he decided that he was Xu Rong, and couldn't help scolding: "Xu Rong, your grandfather of the Zhang family is here, and he can't come down to die?" ”

Xu Rong suppressed his anger and said, "Who are you, dare to offend my realm?" Hurry back, General Ben won't behead you, a nobody! ”

"Hmph, your grandfather of the Zhang family is the deputy commander of the Fourth Field Corps under Liu Cheqi, and the commander of the Seventh Infantry Division, Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide...... Back then, you were despicable and shameless, killing my eldest brother, and today it happens that the national enemy and family hatred are counted together, in the past few years, when I pay tribute to my eldest brother, there is always a lack of your neck as a sacrifice, so that I and my second brother deeply regret, Xu Rong, come down quickly and die, I want to use your head to sacrifice my eldest brother's heroic soul......"

"Soldiers are not tired of cheating, only blame your three brothers for being stupid and throwing themselves into the net...... General Ben could kill your eldest brother back then, but couldn't he kill you? Today, General Ben doesn't care about you in general, go quickly, and the next time we meet, I will not spare you! ”

"Guts rat generation, your grandfather of the Zhang family is a good man here, since you are so powerful, if you don't come to take it, when will you stay?"

"Your eldest brother and second brother are ten times more capable than you, and this general can kill your eldest brother and abolish your second brother, why be afraid of you? Go, go......" Saying that, Xu Rong ignored Zhang Fei's angry scolding, went down to the city and left, not hearing the silence!

Zhang Fei scolded under the city for a long time, and when he saw that the defenders couldn't bear it, he set up a bed crossbow, and had to lead the army back to Yixian in a stupid manner.

Dong Zhuo endured the armistice for two days, and in these two days, he rushed to produce many siege equipment such as wells and crashes, and at the same time took out a lot of money, and promised the title of high-ranking official, and even ordered people to arrest all the women over the age of 14 in the martial arts city for the soldiers to humiliate. In order to protect his wife, daughter and mother, the men in the martial arts city resisted desperately, and thousands of people were killed by the brutal slaughter, and the new and old hatreds made the two sides form an endless blood feud, and finally, soon after, the people in the city rose up under the instigation of Liu Zhang, and the martial arts changed hands in one day, and Dong Zhuo also lost the last hope and defeated Liu Zhang.

But this is all for later, and now, by not choosing his hand, Dong Zhuo has finally reawakened the beast army of the Xiliang Army. Today, he led almost the camp out, except for leaving more than 10,000 light and serious wounded to watch their homes, the 110,000 army came to Liu Zhang's camp with great momentum.

With the big victory two days ago, the morale of the Yizhou army was greatly boosted, and everyone had already sharpened their knives, just waiting to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.

Gao Shun stood on the earthen wall with a calm face, but his heart was not stable, the last big victory had its accident, if it wasn't for Dong Zhuo's carelessness and lack of fire, the ending might have been very different. The last defeat extinguished Dong Zhuo's arrogance, he didn't fall into madness when he calmed down, he chose to stand still for two whole days, what he was doing Gao Shun didn't find out clearly, but it is conceivable that it must be a wound licking in the dark, preparing for revenge, and always paying attention to the camp under his feet, ready to pounce and bite back at any time.

"There are fifty-four wells, each of which is more than three zhang high, and there are three crashes, which is not easy to do!" Li Yan said with some heaviness.

Zhou Cang on the side also said: "No wonder the spies reported that Dong Zhuo was logging a lot, it turned out to be like this!" ”

Li Yan said again: "General Gao, the enemy has a collision, and I am afraid that our army's walled gate will not be able to stop it, is it not to block the walled gate, so that the soldiers can concentrate on guarding against the enemy's ant attack?" ”

Gao Shun looked at the earthen wall that was already four zhang thick, nodded and said, "Okay, quickly kill people to block the gate of the village!" ”

In the past two days, Liu Zhang also did not relax at all, Dong Zhuo did not come to attack, just gave him time to strengthen the fortifications, in two days, although the wall did not increase an inch high, but he ordered people to use logs to build a four-foot-high fence on all the reserved space, so that the soldiers can effectively avoid the enemy's arrows as long as they squat, and do not need to rely on the protection of sword and shield hands as in the past, or need to move behind the high fence. At the same time, he also ordered people to dig trenches along the wall to extract soil, and the soil taken out was used to thicken the earthen wall and enhance its defense against collision cars.

Gao Shun said: "The enemy army is about to attack the city, you quickly return to your respective positions, and tell the soldiers that either defeat the enemy army and win honor, or become the soul of the enemy under the sword!" For the sake of the lord, for the future of the Han Dynasty, and for the sake of the family in the rear, everyone will give me the strength to feed and beat the enemy! ”

"Yes, General!" Li Yan, Zhou Cang, and Wu Ming gave a salute and left.

Dong Zhuo looked at the tall wells in his phalanx, and couldn't help but nodded, with these wells condescending blows, he would definitely be able to break through the Yizhou army's defenses in one fell swoop today, thus reversing the serious situation he was facing.

"Drums, strike!" Dong Zhuo snorted.

Li Ru obeyed the order and signaled to beat the drum.

"Tom...... Tong...... Tom ......" The Xiliang army immediately sounded a burst of passionate drums.

The Xiliang army, who had been satisfied with many innocent women, screamed and stared at the enemy camp with piercing red eyes.

In front was a large array of about 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers, who carried a large number of ladders, sacks full of dirt, and all three crash cars, and in the rear were a long-range strike force composed of trebuchets and wells, and the number of cavalry on the left and right guards was sharply reduced, to only 5,000 cavalry each.
