Chapter 4 Section 62 Raid

Arrows rained down......

The soldiers fled in panic, hoping to run out of the range of bows and arrows, but helplessly, they heard that Liu Bei had defeated Yuan Shao, who was Yan Liang and Wen Chou, strengthened the defense of Yecheng, and mobilized all the soldiers who could fight on the city wall. Out of fear, the Yecheng soldiers did their best to rain arrows, and the arrows covered the sky and the sun like locusts.

"Don't run", Dian Wei shouted hoarsely, but unfortunately, most of these soldiers were newly surrendered Yuan soldiers and did not have the consciousness to prohibit it.

"Running away will only make the bow and arrow shoot in the back, and the left and right will be a death, then, let me fight and die." Dian Wei muttered to himself, and beside him, the few remaining Qingzhou soldiers shielded the arrows for him, and echoed in a low voice: "Die with a sword." ”

Dian Wei thought like a wheel in his mind, "What to do, well, the lord said, when difficulties come, don't turn around and run away." Sometimes, facing difficulties is the best solution, and facing difficulties is ......"

Dian Wei's eyes swept over the rain of arrows, swept over the city gate, the city gate, Dian Wei pointed to the city gate hole, and shouted: "Brothers, rush over, rush." ”

In order to pretend to be Yuan Jun, the soldiers and carry shields to defend themselves, Yuan Sergeant did not have armor, only tied an iron piece or wooden board on his chest to protect himself, only a few Qingzhou soldiers such as Dian Wei wore Qilin soft armor in their clothes, at this moment, the arrow feathers were pouring down, and the soldiers could only use their bodies to cover Dian Wei, and in a moment, the casualties increased sharply.

After Dian Wei gave the order to attack, he danced his hand axe like a windmill and ran towards the city gate cave first. Although the Qingzhou soldiers were surprised, however, the habits they had developed over the years made them involuntarily follow the commander and kill towards the city gate.

Survive in the dead, the city gate hole of Yecheng happens to be a typical Chinese-style city gate hole, the top wall of the city gate cave does not have a skylight like Guangrao City, you can attack the enemy under the door hole, and now, the enemy army only has one trick left: throw the lit firewood and grass to the city gate, and smoke the soldiers in the city gate hole.

Dian Wei picked up his axe and slashed at the city gates. The tall city gate was devastated by the first strong man of the Three Kingdoms, and sawdust flew sideways and trembled. In the cave of the city gate, Dian Wei's angry roar echoed, and on the city wall, all the generals of the Yuan army changed color.

"There are not many enemy troops left, open the city gates, and send cavalry to storm these remnants." A military general suggested.

"No, the enemy's follow-up troops are not far away, what if we entangle with that fierce man for too long, and the enemy's follow-up troops are approaching, and we don't have time to close the city gate?" Gao Gan shook his head and vetoed.

"Let this big man keep slashing, and the city gate is not protected, what should I do?" Yuan Shao's subordinate cavalry governor (cavalry commander) Zhao Rong asked urgently.

A voice came from the bottom up, interjecting as he walked: "Block the hole in the city gate with wood and stones, let the big man cut it down, and the city gate must not be opened." ”

The generals turned their heads to investigate, only to see Guo Tu accompanying Yuan Shao to the city tower, suggesting as he walked.

Previously, after receiving the news that Liu Bei attacked Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and knowing that Liu Bei had asked about the defense of Yecheng, Yuan Shao strengthened the guard of Yecheng and sent all the strategists to patrol the city in turn, and the generals stayed on the city wall and did not undress their armor.

Upon learning of Liu Bei's pretending to attack the city, Guo Tu hurriedly beckoned Yuan Shao to climb the city wall to inspect the enemy.

"Zhengnan (trial matching) saw through Liu Bei's trick to make money in the city, and made a great achievement." Yuan Shao praised, then walked to the gap in the city wall, leaned over to inspect the enemy situation outside the city.

In the distance, in the smoke and dust, the figure of Liu Bei's light cavalry was faintly visible, and the corpses were lying everywhere by the city wall, and the seriously wounded soldiers were moaning and wailing in a pool of blood. 700 Yuan troops and 100 Qingzhou soldiers mixed in, 20 followed Dian Wei and rushed into the city gate, and the rest of the people all lay down outside the city, and only a handful escaped from the range of bows and arrows.

Dian Wei was still slashing at the city gates, which shook slightly as his axe rose and fell.

"Do what Guo Tu said, hurry up and block the city gate with wood and stones, the city of Yecheng is tall, and the army of Qingzhou is only 50,000, if he wants to attack the city, let them come." Order, greet the people, all go to the city. Yuan Shao hurriedly ordered.

The generals responded in unison: "No." ”

The Qingzhou soldiers roared in, Yecheng was full of people, and Yuan Shaojun searched for Qingzhuang from house to house and drove them to the city to guard.

"Not good." Huang Zhong was shocked when he saw the scene at the city gate, took out his bow and arrows with his hand, and ordered sharply: "The bow and crossbow suppress the shot." ”

Although the Qingzhou soldiers had a long range of bows and arrows, the soldiers on the city wall were condescending, making up for the gap in range, and both sides were within the range of each other's bows and arrows.

Huang Zhong beckoned a few soldiers, covered him with shields, selected the best arrow from the quiver, quietly urged the horse to approach the city wall, aimed at Yuan Shao, who was shaking at the head of the city, and shot an arrow, and the strings rang down.

There was a panic on the city wall, and the intensity of the shooting was suddenly weakened, and Huang Zhong shouted at the city gate: "General Dian, you can't do anything, retreat quickly." ”

Dian Wei replied unwillingly: "No, 800 soldiers died because of me, and I have to cut down the city gate today." ”

In the blink of an eye, the reinforced Minzhuang landed in the city, the rain of arrows on the city wall became more and more dense, and the casualties of Huang Zhong's soldiers became more and more large. Seeing that there was nothing to do, Huang Zhong sighed and said, "Quickly report back to the lord, brothers, hold on for a while and wait for the lord's order." ”

The sky gradually darkened, Liu Bei received a report, and Pegasus came: "Careless, careless, I underestimated the heroes of the world." Pretending to be an enemy soldier and being deceived to earn a city originally only appeared in Chinese novels, how could there ever be in history? I just took what the novel said seriously, damn it, damn it. Details, details, people's every move has a lot of habits marked by the region, do not pay attention to the details, send people to pretend to earn the city, there are really no heroes in the world? ”

Liu Bei jumped out of his horse and shouted: "Stop shooting, where was Yuan Gong in the first place?" I am Qingzhou Mu Liu Bei, I want to talk to him? ”

Huang Zhong turned his horse close to Liu Bei's side and reported in a low voice: "Yuan Gong was injured at the beginning, just now, I injured him with an arrow, and now, he may not be in the city." ”

Liu Bei asked in a low voice: "Are you sure you shot him, where is the injury?" Dead or not? ”

Huang Zhong replied affirmatively: "I have confidence in my archery skills, and I definitely hurt him." It's just that the twilight is blank, and I can't see where the specific injury is? ”

On the tower of the city, a vicious voice floated down: "Liu Bei boy, you are in Qingzhou, I am in Jizhou, why did you cross the border?" ”

Liu Bei replied in a loud voice: "This is not Yuan Gong's original voice, who is the speaker?" ”

There was silence on the tower, and the rain of arrows gradually fell down. Liu Bei shouted again: "Yuan Gong was originally in the Bohai Sea, and now he has also crossed the border to Yecheng, Wei County?" Now, what's the use of saying these things? There is a man in charge of the city, and you and I will negotiate a temporary truce, otherwise, my brigade will arrive and attack the city overnight. ”

On the city tower, a gentle voice sounded: "How does Xuande Gong plan to suspend his troops?" ”

Liu Bei responded: "Who in the city speaks and may be the master?" ”

In the city, the voice replied: "I am a Ji Feng Fu Tu, does Xuande Gong think that I can be the master?" ”

Liu Bei nodded, Feng Ji is Yuan Shao's chief strategist, and he can be regarded as a person who can call the shots: "Yan Liang and Wen Chou are the generals under Yuan Gong Benchu, and they have made a lot of contributions to Benchu Gong's expedition to the south and the north. Now that I have died, I can't bear to throw their corpses into the wilderness, and I am willing to return the corpses of the two in exchange for a truce on your side, and after I take in the wounded soldiers under the city and recruit back our besieger generals, I will make an appointment to fight again. ”

On the city tower, the vicious voice interjected again: "Liu Bei, do you want to exchange two dead corpses for a living general?" ”

Liu Bei really had this plan, but he didn't want the other party to see through it.

"Who's in the city interjecting?" Liu Bei asked sharply.

"Wei County's trial is due south."

"Judging Zhengnan, didn't you die? Are you willing to leave your body in the wilderness when you die? I Liu Bei can't bear to let my subordinates lie under the city and die, measure Yuan Benchu with my own heart, and hope that the two sides will cease fighting and treat the wounded, doesn't Yuan Benchu think so? Doesn't the public of this department mind that the generals who have made great contributions to themselves will have no bones left after his death? If this is the case, I Liu Bei has nothing to say, then continue to fight again. ”

The city seemed to be whispering, and Liu Bei continued to pressur: "Generals in the city, I'm ready to attack." You have to remember to save your life, Yuan Benchu didn't care about your abandonment of the wilderness, and I have no obligation to bury you, on the day the city is broken, the jade will be burned. ”

The uproar in the city became louder and louder, and Liu Bei continued to fan the flames: "Listen to the people in the city, Yuan Benchu doesn't even care about the life and death of his generals, how can he take care of you." As pointed out by our soldiers, you pay attention to dodge, you are dead, but you are dead in vain. ”

In the city, Feng Ji angrily scolded: "Enough, Liu Xuande, our army has stopped firing for a long time, and we should not quickly treat your wounded soldiers." ”

Liu Bei's face sank like water, and he whispered to Huang Zhong: "Let a few soldiers remove their weapons, only bring shields for self-defense, take my warrant, and beckon Dian Wei to come back. ”

Raising his head, Liu Bei shouted at the city again: "By the way, I will inform you that our army has taken Guangping, and Liyi has been killed." However, before Liyi died, Yuan Tan was chasing and killing this hero, and in view of this, I will not exchange his corpse. ”

Feng Ji shouted in a panic: "Where is Yuan Gongzi?" Our army is willing to exchange and quickly hand over Yuan Gongzi to us. ”

Liu Bei said slowly: "Yecheng has become a lonely city, what are you anxious about, wait until I finish treating the wounded soldiers." ”

After a while, a few small soldiers pulled Dian Wei, who was covered in sweat, back to Liu Bei, Liu Bei jumped off the horse, stepped forward, took Dian Wei's hand, looked at him with concern, and said, "I will hardly see you Le Tao today." After speaking, he carefully looked at the blood stains on Dian Wei's body, and asked one after another: "Where is the injury?" Did it hurt anywhere? ”

Dian Wei's majestic body fell to his knees, opened his voice, and howled: "Lord, I am not doing my job well, 800 soldiers died because of me, please punish me." ”

Liu Bei pulled Dian Wei up and said ashamedly: "Is this your mistake?" It's all because I didn't plan well, and 800 soldiers died because of me, and I was prepared. Come to people, quickly take them to see a military doctor, find out the names of the dead people, whether they are Qingzhou people or not, they will be rewarded with the law of rewards and punishments for military achievements, and the descendants will be shaded. ”

Liu Bei was in a hurry, Feng Ji was in the city, and asked loudly: "Xuande Gong, all your people have been taken away, please quickly send the corpses of Yuan Gongzi and Yan Liang and Wen Chou." ”

Liu Bei sneered loudly and said, "When did I promise to return Yuan Gongzi?" Someone came and sent the bodies of the two generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou. ”

The judge was angry and said loudly: "Liu Bei, you have the name of trustworthiness. We believe you, you even played with us afterwards, what a villain. ”

Liu Bei muttered in a low voice: "Idiot, mentioning Yuan Tan's matter is just to guarantee that he will not attack our personnel who are treating wounded soldiers under the city, how could I ever promise to return Yuan Tan?" Besides, our army divided its troops to attack, and it was Zhang He's business to attack Yuan Tan, and whether Yuan Tan was alive or dead, I don't know yet. Ignoring them, we returned to camp. ”

Allowing Yuan Shao's generals and strategists to abuse at the head of the city, Liu Beijun camped swaggering under the city.

In Chang'an City, it was summer, Dong Zhuo was obese, and he couldn't stand the heat in Chang'an, so he decided to go to Yixian County to escape the summer. Drinking until half-drunk, hundreds of Qianghu soldiers from the north came to report, Dong Zhuo was drinking wine happily, and he was very happy to see the appetizers. The guards cut off the tongues, cut off the hands and feet, and chiseled off the eyes, and then cooked them in a large wok, as a side dish.

At that time, these soldiers were not completely dead, and they had been wailing in pain until they were cooked, and the screams shook the capital of Chang'an. The officials in the audience were so frightened that their souls were not possessed, or they trembled, and Dong Zhuo talked and laughed freely.

Dong Zhuo's atrocities aroused the unanimous indignation of the ministers, and Situ Wang Yun usually bent his mind and told Dong Zhuo more about everything before he carried it out, and Dong Zhuo was not suspicious of him. However, it was he who sought to get rid of Dong Zhuo the most. Seeing that at this moment, all the generals around Dong Zhuo were transferred, and it was when he was the weakest that he decided to attack Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo knew that he was cruel and didn't trust anyone, so he always took Lu Bu with him to prevent others from assassinating, and after coming and going, the handsome Lu Bu and the concubine beside Dong Zhuo began to cheat. It's a pity that Lu Bu is a guy with muscles and no brains, and a few days later, his affair with Dong Zhuoji's concubine has become known to everyone in Chang'an. According to the history of the Later Han Dynasty, there were people who wrote the word "Lu" on the cloth, walked on the street market with the cloth, and sang "Buah" to implicitly express their contempt for Lü Bu's adultery.

After Dong Zhuo learned of this news, he was very angry, and immediately threw the cloth with a halberd, fortunately, Lu Bu had a clear eye, dodged the past, and then asked Dong Zhuo for guilt, Dong Zhuo angrily killed the adulterous concubine (that is, the later generations called Diao Chan), originally planned to dispose of Lu Bu, but there was no one around, and he still needed this quick knife to suppress dissidents, so he had to forgive Lu Bu.

The beloved adulteress was killed, and from then on, Lu Bu began to hate Dong Zhuo. Wang Yun and Lu Bu are both from Bingzhou, and after learning that Dong Zhuo threw a halberd to kill Lu Bu, he knew that the time had come to separate Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, so he fed Lu Bu with jewelry, and gradually corresponded with Lu Bu and became friends. In Chang'an City, the serial plan began to be staged.

At the same time, on the west side of Luoyang, Gucheng, on the night when Liu Bei entered Yecheng, Zhou Yu led 500 warriors to attack the enemy's camp at night, taking the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and rush to Luoyang.

Zhou Yu's raid is famous in the Three Kingdoms, in the real Chibi War, it was he who led 30,000 soldiers to raid Cao Cao who was on the march, forcing Cao's army of 800,000 to collapse, 30,000 against 800,000, which is the record of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign raid kings, and only Zhang Liao's raid Xiaoyaojin is comparable to it. Zhang Liao's surprise attack, although the ratio of troops was even more disparity, however, Zhang Liao only terrorized the enemy at night, and Zhou Yu was completely defeated by 800,000 troops. This total number of enemy troops stunned all military masters.

The night attack was a model for all night raids, and a few days ago, Gucheng had been beating golden drums and blowing military trumpets every night, disturbing the enemy and annoying them.

During the day on the third day, a Liangzhou general pointed out the mystery: "There are only 2,000 soldiers in the city, that is, how many people can they bring out of the city to attack at night?" We have 40,000 horses, and even if we stretch our necks and let him kill them, we will be tired to death, and when they enter the camp, it will not be too late for us to get up and surround them. Why are you so nervous? ”

Everyone suddenly realized that night, the soldiers in the city repeatedly harassed them, and the Liangzhou soldiers also slept soundly.

As soon as the sky was bright, Zhou Yu took five hundred strong men with fire, swaggered into the Liangzhou camp, set fire everywhere, created chaos, took the opportunity to seize the horse, and went straight to Luoyang.
