Chapter 28: Poison Jia Xu
Early the next morning, Li Dao led the army to the party.
Compared with the defeat a few days ago, the Xiliang army at this time did recover some morale by resting flexibly.
"Liu Wei, today you will see how I broke your trench." Li Wei stood in front of the formation, and immediately pointed to the head of the city, Liu Wei and the others and spoke.
"Then it's up to you." Liu Wei replied at the head of the city, although he said so, but Liu Wei did not dare to despise it.
The Xiliang army has not attacked the city for three days, and now it must be prepared to come at this time, otherwise Li Dao would not be so confident.
"Hansheng, if there is a change outside the city, you will remember to lead the army later." Liu Wei looked at Huang Zhong on the side and ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Huang Zhong immediately received the order.
After a while, I saw the Xiliang army, led by shield soldiers in the formation, covering in front, and there were soldiers pushing grain trucks behind them.
"What are they going to do? Before the two armies faced off, they actually sent out the grain carts. At the head of the city, Zhu Jun was a little puzzled by the intentions of the Xiliang Army.
Liu Wei was also puzzled for a while, and his eyes kept staring at the Xiliang sergeant below.
"Your Majesty, look at the armor on these cart sergeants, the armor on their bodies is much thicker than that of ordinary sergeants, and many of our arrows have been shot at the grain carts."
At this time, Xun You looked at the Xiliang sergeant below, and the Xiliang sergeant was getting closer and closer to the trench.
Liu Wei also noticed at this time, not only that, but when the grain cart approached, he realized that the grain cart was not empty.
There was dirt at the bottom of the grain cart, and although there was a lot of dirt in a grain cart, there were many of them, and besides, the trench was only the width of a man.
"They're going to fill in the trenches." Liu Wei also understood the thoughts of those Xiliang troops at this time.
The Xiliang army continued to advance, although some people fell down with arrows, but soon some people went up.
Looking at the soldiers who were getting closer and closer, Li Wei couldn't help laughing.
These grain trucks have all been specially processed, Liu Wei, you just have to wait.
"I always have a bad premonition." In the city, Liu Wei felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"Hansheng, you immediately bring someone to pick them up and ask them to hurry back." Liu Wei immediately ordered.
It doesn't matter if the ditch is filled, it's the soldiers who hide in the trenches.
As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, the shield soldiers who were originally in front had already made way and began to retreat.
The grain cart was not far from the trench, and was directly pushed forward by the soldiers.
"Not good, Your Majesty, look at Li Dao's archers." Xun You shouted at this time.
When Liu Wei looked up, he saw that Li Wei's archers had all ignited fire on the arrows.
Liu Wei finally understood Li Wei's intentions, if these grain trucks could not accurately hit the trenches, then such rockets were fatal.
The trench was shot outside the city, just to shorten the range with the Xiliang army, but the same trench was also within the range of the Xiliang army.
The soldier hid in the trench to hide from the arrows, but now that there was a grain cart, once it was ignited, it was difficult for the soldier to escape.
Sure enough, the grain carts heading towards the trench were shot by the fiery arrows, and a fire burst into flames.
The grain cart was ignited by the fire, and with inertia, it went directly to the trench.
In an instant, the trench where the soldiers were hidden had become a sea of fire.
"What a ploy." Liu Wei was also angry when he saw it in the city.
It was not only to level the trenches, but also to burn all the soldiers who were hiding there with fire.
Leaving the trench is equivalent to exposing yourself to the eyes of the Xiliang army, but there is no way to be burned to death.
When Huang Zhong led the army to respond, the original trench had been burned into a sea of fire by the burning grain trucks.
"Haha, Wenhe's plan, it's really wonderful, so, see how you hide." Li Dao in the distance immediately smiled.
"It's a vicious scheme, and it hits with one hit." At this time, on the city tower, Xun You couldn't help but say when he saw it.
"Your Majesty, half of the 3,000 soldiers hiding in the trench have not been able to escape."
"I know, after the war, I will be buried with memorial care." Liu Wei said with an ugly face.
He thought that Li Dao Guo Yan would have a way to deal with the trench, but he didn't expect that it would be so vicious.
"After the fire is extinguished, the Xiliang army will definitely attack the city, Han Sheng, you lead 20,000 troops out of the city to meet the battle, and avenge our dead soldiers." Liu Wei looked at the Xiliang army outside the city and said hatefully.
When the two armies fought, casualties were inevitable, but Liu Wei was still very angry, after all, the dead were all his own soldiers.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will kill and retreat the enemy army." Huang Zhong immediately received the order.
After the fire was extinguished, the city gate was opened, and Huang Zhong took the lead and led the army to rush towards the Xiliang army.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself too much, it is inevitable that the two armies will fight." Lu Zhi saw Liu Wei staring at the outside of the city without saying a word, so he opened his mouth to persuade.
"Don't worry, I know the measure, I'm thinking about who in the Xiliang Army came up with this plan, if you encounter it in the future, you must be prepared, and you can't repeat the mistakes of the past." Liu Wei listened to Lu Zhi's words and spoke.
"Now that Li Ru is dead, who else in the Xiliang army can have such a plan." Zhu Jun frowned and said, obviously he couldn't think of who it was for a while.
"Gongda, what do you think?" Liu Wei asked while observing the battle outside the city.
"There is a very good possibility of this person, it is said that this person is low-key, and he is outwitted above Li Ru in the Xiliang army." Xun You thought about it and said with some uncertainty.
"Who is it?" After hearing this, Liu Yan also asked curiously.
"Jia Xu." Xun You looked at Liu Wei and replied.
"Jia Xu." Liu Wei finally remembered what he had overlooked.
I couldn't help but curse myself, how could I even forget him.
Jia Xu messed up Chang'an, it was really a misery, and the people were not happy.
Moreover, the plan dedicated to Guan Jiaxu's life has basically not failed, chaos in Chang'an, destruction of lives, and chaos in the world.
In the battle of Wancheng, Cao Cao was defeated, not only Dian Wei died, but even Cao Ang died there.
Jia Xu is full of scheming, and he has lived for a long time, and in the end it can be said that he is enjoying his old age.
"It's no wonder he's it." Liu Wei couldn't help but sigh in the end.
"Your Majesty, the Xiliang army is numerous, and General Huang is in a bitter battle." At this time, the killing outside the city was also fierce.
"Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, the two of you and the two armies, each with 5,000 troops and horses, will charge and kill from the left and right flanks."
After Liu Wei finished speaking, he came to the place where the drums were beating.
"Let me come, I will personally cheer for the Han soldiers." Liu Wei took the drum hammer and beat the drum himself.
In his current state, it is unrealistic to want to go into battle to kill the enemy, but it is still possible to beat the drum and cheer.
The soldiers outside the city saw that Liu Wei was beating the drum in person, and their morale suddenly soared.
The two armies fought until noon, when they retreated.
In today's battle, Liu Wei also understood that although he had modern knowledge, he could only create an advantage for himself in the early stage.
When the trench was laid, it made the Xiliang army suffer heavy casualties and pay a lot of price.
But today, Jia Xu not only destroyed the trench with a fire attack on grain trucks, but also killed and injured more than half of the soldiers.
If it weren't for Huang Zhong leading his troops to fight and stopping the offensive of the Xiliang army, I am afraid that the morale of his side would have plummeted.
"Your Majesty, there's news from Wang Yue's side." At night, when Liu Wei was discussing the battle with Xun You, someone suddenly opened his mouth to report.
"Gongda, it seems that the news you want is already available." After Liu Wei listened, he hurriedly let people in, and then looked at Xun Yu and said.
Soon a man came in from outside, "See Your Majesty." ”
"Hurry up, please, no need to be polite." Liu Wei motioned for the man to get up, "I wonder what news Wang Shi came from this time?" ”
After listening to Liu Wei's words, the man took out a piece of paper from his arms, "Your Majesty, please take a look, this is what Lord Wang asked me to give to Your Majesty." ”
Liu Wei took it over, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
Then he handed the note to Xun Yu on the side,
"Gongda, the big thing can be done, once the Xiliang army is defeated, it will be time for us to conquer Dong Zhuo." After Liu Wei handed it over, he said with a smile.
Xun You also smiled and nodded after seeing it, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, in this way, the Xiliang army will be defeated." ”
Liu Wei nodded, and then asked Huang Zhong to come over.
