Chapter 136: Trojan Horse Slaughter (I)
In order to defend Zhuo County, Liu Yi's general Wang San unfortunately fell, and his wife Wang also died because of premature birth.
At this time, Yao Lie's army was about to reach Zhuo County.
"General, enemy reinforcements are coming!"
In Zhang Chun's camp, a deputy general ran into Zhang Chun's big tent.
Hearing that enemy reinforcements were coming, Zhang Chun was a little panicked.
"How many? Who is leading the troops? Zhang Chun asked anxiously.
Hearing this, the adjutant general who reported the news hurriedly replied, "There are more than 10,000 people, and the enemy general leading the army seems to be the one named Yao Lie!" ”
The reason why that person thought that the leader was Yao Lie was because Yao Lie's scorpion flag was too unique and eye-catching.
As soon as he heard that it would be Yao Lie, Zhang Chun couldn't help but say to himself, "It's him!" ”
In fact, Zhang Chun didn't know Yao Lie, nor did he know the power of the poisonous scorpion, but in his letter to Zhang Chun, Gongsun Chan had specifically mentioned that Liu Yi's team was powerful.
Now seeing that Gongsun Zhan's mouth can compete with Bai Ma Yicong's poisonous scorpion is coming, Zhang Chun can't help but retreat.
"Tell the soldiers, immediately sort out the accompanying equipment, we have to take advantage of the reinforcements before they react, and go to the rest of the counties to get a bargain first!"
"Yes!"
Seeing that his lieutenant general had already walked out of the big tent to arrange the retreat, Zhang Chun sat alone in the big tent. took out the letter that Gongsun Chan had given him before, Zhang Chun said to himself helplessly, "Brother Bogui, there is only so much that a brother can do, and you can ask for more blessings for the rest!" ”
After speaking, Zhang Chun threw the letter into the brazier in the tent, and as soon as the letter met the red charcoal, a spark suddenly burst out.
It is said that Cheng Yu was under the compulsory escort of a group of soldiers, and at this time he also arrived in Guangyang, and after meeting with Li Blacksmith and others in Guangyang, the soldiers under Wang San were released from the "house arrest" of Cheng Yu.
At this time, Cheng Yu and others had not received the news that Wang San had died, and without the restrictions of the soldiers, Cheng Yu began to contact the county officials in Guangyang and the local armed forces, and persuaded them to send troops to Zhuo County to support Wang San.
In the evening of the same day, Yao Lie's army finally arrived outside the city of Zhuoxian, and when the soldiers defending the city saw the familiar scorpion flag, many people couldn't help but feel depressed in their hearts and began to sit on the ground and cry.
"Quack~squeak~"
The large iron gate was cast, and under the joint push of the soldiers guarding the door, made an uncomfortable sound.
As soon as the city gate opened, I saw the only remaining deputy general under Wang San, crying and crawling towards Yao Lie.
At this time, Yao Lie, who was in front of the army, saw that it was not Wang San who came out to greet him, and his heart suddenly began to feel uneasy, and he hurriedly dismounted and went to greet the deputy general.
"General! You're back! General Wang, he is righteous! The lieutenant knelt in front of Yao Lie and cried hoarsely.
"What? General Wang has fallen? Yao Lie asked in disbelief.
The deputy general cried and nodded when he heard this, Yao Lie saw this, the momentary grief and the many days of hard work, Yao Lie only felt that his scalp was numb, and his body was a little soft, but fortunately, several soldiers who followed closely behind him supported him, which did not let Yao Lie fall.
"Quick! Take me to see General Wang! ”
At this time, the bodies of Wang San and Wang had been carefully disposed of by the subordinates, and their children were also taken away by the wet nurse and fed in the side room.
When Yao Lie saw the bodies of Wang San and his wife, two lines of tiger tears fell.
"Brother, it's all my fault that I'm late to come back!"
Yao Lie knelt beside Wang San, looked at the corpse of his former brother, and smashed the green brick on the ground with his fist with extreme self-blame, the green brick was smashed out of cracks, and Yao Lie's fist was also full of blood.
"Generals, generals, people can't be resurrected after death, and the general's day is mourning!" Seeing this, the people around him hurriedly grabbed Yao Lie and comforted him.
After Yao Lie was pulled by everyone, he stood up and asked Wang San's lieutenant general with murderous aura, "Where is the enemy now?" ”
The deputy general was a little frightened when he saw Yao Lie's appearance, and hurriedly replied, "Seeing that the general has come back to help, the enemy has already pulled out the village and retreated!" ”
Hearing this, I saw Yao Lie's tiger eyes narrowing slightly.
"Immediately gather the soldiers to follow me out of the city to chase the enemy!"
At this time, Yao Lie had lost his mind a little because of Wang San's death.
The adjutant generals who came with them, such as the military Sima and the lieutenant, fell to their knees when they heard Yao Lie's words.
"The enemy is overwhelming, I hope the general will think twice, don't fall for the enemy's tricks!" Among these people, a lieutenant who was deeply trusted by Yao Lie knelt down and dissuaded.
When the other lieutenants heard this, they also shouted in unison: "I hope the general thinks twice!" ”
Seeing that everyone was blocking him, Yao Lie stood on the spot, and after thinking for a long time with a gloomy face, he sighed and let out a long breath of turbidity.
"You, tell me about the current hostility in the county!" Yao Lie pointed to the dejected appearance of Wang San's lieutenant.
When the deputy general heard this, he informed Yao Lie of the hostile situation in the remaining counties in Zhuo County.
When he heard that the remaining counties were also being surrounded by a small number of enemy troops, Yao Lie endured the grief in his heart and began to dispatch troops to support the counties of Beixincheng.
When Wang San and his wife died in the afternoon of the same day, Liu Yi had already led the army to attack and kill outside the city again.
This time is different from the past, Liu Yi's mount became a three-meter-high and five-meter-long wooden war horse, the wooden war horse was pulled by a cart pulled by eight horses, Liu Yi sat cross-legged on the special saddle on the back of the wooden war horse, looking majestic, as if the gods descended to look down on everyone.
When Gongsun Zan and the others in the city saw Liu Yi's wooden war horse, they were shocked!
"What kind of mount is that under Liu Yi?" Gongsun Chan pointed to the army under the city, Liu Yi's mount, which was twice as tall as others, and asked in surprise.
Hearing this, Guan Jing and the others hurriedly looked over, and after a closer look, they found the carriage under the wooden horse.
"General, according to my opinion, it should be Liu Yi's war horse made of wood!" Guan Jing replied respectfully.
"Hmph~ Liu Yi's guy can really fix the scene!" Gongsun Chan sneered when he heard this.
Guan Jing and the others around him also took the opportunity to ridicule Liu Yi when they heard this.
The siege lasted for about an hour, and the final result ended in defeat for Liu Yi's side.
Seeing that Liu Yi's army began to retreat, Gongsun Zhan, as usual, did not send troops out of the city to pursue.
Just as Gongsun Chan turned around and was about to walk down the tower, he suddenly heard the loud laughter of the soldiers behind him, "Look! Look! The Trojan is falling! ”
When Gongsun Zan and the others heard this, they also turned around curiously and looked outside the city, only to see that in the center of Liu Yi's retreating army, the war horse pulled by the carriage suddenly turned evil, and Liu Yi on it almost didn't fall.
Seeing this, Gongsun Zan in the city raised his palms and laughed.
"Hahaha~ This is self-inflicted!"
Hearing this, the people around him also burst into laughter.
Seeing that Liu Yi was helped by the soldiers around him, and after getting off the Trojan horse, he abandoned the Trojan horse and left, Tian Kai, who was next to Gongsun Zhan, smiled and said to Gongsun Zhan, "General, it seems that Liu Yi doesn't want that Trojan horse, this."
As soon as the enemy army withdraws, why don't we go out of the city and take it? ”
Hearing this, Gongsun Chan shook his head and said, "It's just a useless thing, maybe it's Liu Yi's kid who is tricking us out of the city!" Let's wait until the enemy army is far away! ”
After speaking, Gongsun Chan turned around and walked towards the city in a good mood. When Tian Kai heard this, he called a soldier beside him over.
"Keep an eye on the enemy's movements, and notify me as soon as the enemy army is far away!"
"Yes!"
It seems that only Tian Kai is more interested in Liu Yi's Trojan horse in public.
In the evening, seeing that Liu Yi and others had withdrawn to the camp, Tian Kai ordered dozens of his men to go out of the city and come to the cart pulling the wooden horse.
When everyone arrived, they found out the reason for the tilt of the carriage, and saw that the wooden wheel on one side of the carriage was stuck in the gap between the two boulders and could not move.
"Damn, these horses are pretty good!" A soldier with a long appearance patted the war horse in front of the carriage and scolded with a smile.
What everyone didn't know was that these war horses were originally selected by Liu Yi and Zhang Fei and others among the few remaining war horses.
The long-looking soldier stepped forward to look at the jammed wheels, and then ordered the rest of the soldiers to start pushing the wheels out hard.
After everyone wasted all their efforts, the wheels were finally pushed out.
"Whew~ I didn't expect this to be so heavy!" One soldier let out a sigh of relief and grumbled.
By the time the people had brought the wooden horses into the city, it was already dark. Gongsun Chan and the others had already heard the news and came to the city gate.
Under the orders of Gongsun Zhan, the people pulled the wooden horse to an open place not far from the city gate.
At this time, the wooden horse was full of torches, and under the light of the fire, Gongsun Chan and others finally saw the true face of this behemoth.
I saw that the outside of the Trojan horse was wrapped in a layer of animal fur, and the two cobblestones that had been carefully polished and placed on the horse's eyes made the whole Trojan horse look lifelike.
The soldiers looked at the wooden horse in front of them and were amazed, and even Gongsun Chan couldn't help but praise when he saw it: "I didn't expect this Liu Yi not only to set up a formation twice, but also to be a carpenter!" ”
After hearing Gongsun Zhan's half-sarcastic and half-praising words, Guan Jing on the side stepped forward and asked, "General, what should I do with this Trojan horse?" ”
Hearing this, Gongsun Chan glanced at the Trojan horse a few more times, and then said nonchalantly, "It's less!" This stuff doesn't do much to us! ”
As soon as he heard Gongsun Chan say that he was going to burn the Trojan horse, Tian Kai on the side stepped forward to dissuade him, "General, this Trojan horse is so well built, wouldn't it be a pity to have less, I think it's better to stay, so that not only can it be a thing to admire, but also show the great achievements of the general to the people."
Hearing this, Gongsun Zhan looked at Tian Kai and said with a smile: "Then it's up to you!" After saying that, Gongsun Zhan, who was not interested in the Trojan horse, turned around and left.
After Gongsun Zhan left, Tian Kai saw that it was getting late, so he ordered someone to pull the wooden horse to an open space under the city tower, and planned to pull it to the center of the city during the day tomorrow for the people to watch.
Outside the endless city, Liu Yi's big tent was brightly lit at this time.
"Zhicai, how's the situation outside?" Seeing Xi Zhicai hurrying from outside the tent, Liu Yi got up and asked.
"Lord, the horse has entered the city!" Xi Zhicai said respectfully.
Liu Yi showed a smile full of chill when he heard this, and after shouting "yes", he turned his head to Guan Yu.
"Yun Chang, you go down and prepare immediately!"
