Chapter 242: Hu Riding Down Yingchuan (2)
Whew! Woo! The Qianghu cavalry outside the city screamed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It has been more than two hours since the Qiang Hu soldiers crossed the Yingshui to attack Yangzhai City, and the westerly sun shone on Yangzhai City, and there were bloodstains, arrows and corpses everywhere.
Yingchuan Taishou Li Min stood on the city tower, looking at the Hu soldiers who attacked the city again with an iron face.
This time, thanks to someone secretly reporting the news, Li Min arranged for the soldiers to dig a trap outside the city early, drove wooden stakes, set up a horse rejection, and arranged 2,000 elites at the Yingshui bridgehead, thinking that they could stop Hu Cai, but the reality was cruel.
The fierce Hu cavalry could not rush through the narrow stone bridge, but made a detour to the wide and shallow part of Yingshui, wading directly through the water, and attacking in a roundabout way, so that the 2,000 elites arranged by Li Min at the head of the bridge were almost completely annihilated.
Li Min sent 1,500 soldiers out of the city to rescue him, but Sima who led the team was killed by the fierce enemy general, and the soldiers who lost their command were once again scattered by the Qianghu soldiers, wantonly slashed and killed, and the army was defeated!
At this time, those Qianghu soldiers were screaming, riding to drive away the routed soldiers under Li Min, and some crying people, rushing towards the city gate.
On the city gate, Li Min clenched the long sword at his waist and gritted his teeth, he was just a scribe, how could he know how to lead the troops, and the generals appointed by his subordinates were all heroes who he made friends with on weekdays, but he didn't expect it to be so unbearable on the battlefield.
He originally gathered 6,000 soldiers and horses in Yangzhai, but the wrong tactics of refueling led to heavy losses, and now there are less than 2,500 soldiers and horses in the city, of which 1,500 are still guarding the south of the city, and the murderous Qiang Hu cavalry, there are not less than 13,400, especially the fierce Hu soldier leader, almost all of his generals were killed by him.
Looking at the Qianghu soldiers who were clamoring to approach, driving his soldiers and the people near Yang Zhai, uprooting the wooden stakes one by one, and approaching step by step, he didn't know what to do for a while!
Open the city gate and let the soldiers and people in front of him enter the city, the Hu cavalry will inevitably rush straight in, what kind of tragedy Yang Zhai should be at that time, he can't imagine!
But if you don't open the city gates, will you let your soldiers and those people die miserably? He saw the frustration and hesitation of the soldiers on the tower.
"Envoy, what should we do now?" Beside Li Min, his friend Zhang An asked loudly.
Li Min clenched his long sword and hissed, "Open the city gate, rush out, and fight them to the death!" ”
Zhang An said loudly: "Okay! Kill all these brutal thieves! ”
……
In the west of Yangzhai City, in a fort dock a few miles away, Gao Shun stood motionless on the gatehouse of the fort, looking at the Hu cavalry galloping in the distance, the tragic battle situation, clenching the spear, his arm trembling slightly.
"Gao Sima! Hurry up. Tang Xiang beside him paused and said: "In the future, the city of Zhai will be broken, and the people of the city will suffer." ”
Gao Shun was silent, after the news of the shadow came the day before yesterday, he took Tang Wan, Su Wan and the Tang family to this fort dock in order to facilitate protection, and warned Li Min, but he didn't expect Li Min to transfer 8,000 people to guard Yangzhai and Mi County in two lines of defense, and he was still so vulnerable. Such combat effectiveness was beyond his expectations.
Seeing Gao Shun's silence, Tang Xiang couldn't help but be furious, and shouted, "What is the use of Wen Yuan leaving you here?" Why don't you save when you die! ”
Gao Shun was silent for a moment and said, "The duty of a certain is to protect the master mother and the Tang family, and there is no room for negligence. ”
"The Tang family doesn't need to be protected!" Tang Xiang reprimanded angrily.
Gao Shun was not angry, and said: "We have already issued a warning in advance, Li Min's 6,000 soldiers can't hold a 1,000 Hu cavalry attack, I didn't expect it." There are only 800 people under a certain command, and they can't protect the people of the city. ”
"In the name of Wenyuan, I order you to attack quickly!" Tang Xiang drank.
Gao Shun ignored him, and Tang Xiang left with a flick of his sleeves: "I personally went out of the fort to save him." ”
At this moment, Tang Wan, who was dressed in men's clothes, accompanied by Su Wu and a few orchids, carried a long sword in her hand and walked up to the gatehouse of the fort.
Looking at the tragic battle situation in the distance, Tang Wan couldn't help but look anxious, looked at Gao Shun, gritted her teeth and said, "Brother Gao, can you beat those thieves in the camp?" ”
Gao Shun bowed to Tang Wan sideways, nodded, and did not speak.
Tang Wan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Gao Shun had confidence in victory, and said: "Since you can beat it, please ask Brother Gao to take the trap camp to kill and destroy those thieves, otherwise they will attack the city, and I don't know how many people and women will ......."
Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "The duty of the last general is to protect the master mother and the Tang family, and the safety of the master mother and the Tang family is more important than everything!" Although the trapping camp is not afraid of Hu Qi, but the maneuver is not as good as Hu Qi, lest Hu Qi not fight with me, make a detour to attack the fort dock, and trap the master mother in danger, then it will be difficult to represent the main bus under the last Jiuquan! ”
"The concubine thanked Brother Gao for his loyalty," Tang Wan bowed down to Gao Shun and said seriously: "But the concubine only knows that the husband has always loved the people, if he encounters such a situation, he will inevitably sacrifice himself to kill the thief, the concubine is a member of the Zhang family, how can he weaken the reputation of the husband, Brother Gao is worried that the thief will attack the fort and endanger the life of the concubine, so the concubine will attack with Brother Gao, but it can ensure safety." ”
Gao Shun's body was shocked, and he lost his voice: "How can this work?" ”
Tang Wan said firmly: "Since you have the power to kill thieves, if you don't save you when you see death, the concubine will be shameless and be a member of the Zhang family." Please let Brother Gao abandon his scruples and kill the thief! ”
Gao Shun looked at Tang Wan's firm expression, took a deep breath, bowed down and said, "The master mother has the style of the lord, so she will fight!" ”
Tang Wan couldn't help but show joy on her face: "The concubine has also learned martial arts, which is enough to protect herself." ”
Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "The master mother is in the array, but there are only a thousand horses, and the last general can protect the safety of the master mother." It's just that now Hu Qi has not entered the city, if they can't be defeated, they will inevitably flee, scourge the township, and it will be difficult for us to pursue, therefore, we must wait for Hu Cai to attack the city and lose maneuver, before we can destroy it! ”
"If you enter the city, won't it be a great evil?" Tang Xiang couldn't help frowning.
Tang Wan said categorically: "Just according to what Brother Gao said!" Only by destroying the thieves can we avoid a greater disaster. ”
At this moment, Gao Shun saw from a distance that the north gate of Yangzhai seemed to be wide open, and the soldiers in the city rushed out, and the battlefield over there suddenly became fierce, and he couldn't help but change color, and turned his head and ordered: "Trap the camp!" Get ready to strike! ”
"Yes!" The trap camp in the fort was already lined up, together with four hundred archers, and the order was commanded in unison.
……
The sun set westward, and outside the Yangguan Pass more than ten miles west of Yangzhai City, Zhang Liao took Dian Wei and the Tiger Battalion to the east.
It was not easy for Zhang Liao to evade the Yangcheng garrison and come here, he couldn't swagger out of Xuanyuan Pass, firstly, it was easy to fall into the bitter battle with more than 6,000 soldiers and horses in Yangcheng and it was difficult to get out, and secondly, he was afraid of attracting Dong Zhuo's attention when he sent troops at this time.
Therefore, they could only sneak out of Xuanyuan Pass, but the area between Xuanyuan Pass and Yangcheng was full of the eyes and ears of Yingchuan soldiers, and a large-scale march was impossible.
It was Guo Jia who made a suggestion, regardless of whether they received the news of Hu Zhen's southward journey, they first took the Tiger Battalion to sneak out of Xuanyuan Pass at night, followed the safe route discovered by the scouts, and entered the mountains in Yingchuan to hide.
After the scouts heard the news that Hu Qi had gone south to Yingchuan, they set out directly from the mountains in Yingchuan and easily evaded the thousands of garrisons in Yangcheng.
However, from Xuanyuan Pass to Yangzhai City, it is one hundred and fifty or sixty miles, Zhang Liao and they received the news of Huaxiong's southward movement on the second day they arrived in the mountains, and even if they hurried to Yangzhai City, the mountain roads along the way were rugged and not easy to travel, and they did not approach Yangzhai until dusk.
