Volume 4 Enthronement Chapter 105 Heroic Twilight

What was that black phantasm just now? Shi Yong was slightly surprised to see that a figure had quickly retreated from in front of him, Shi Yong didn't even see the other party's appearance clearly, and Adou shrank into the crowd again. \UC eBook() updates super fast/

"Who is that? How did you get here? Shi Yong's mind flashed, and then suddenly felt cold in his throat, Shi Yong subconsciously reached out and wanted to touch his neck, only to feel that it was sticky on it, Shi Yong looked down at his hand, only to see that these slimy things turned out to be blood.

In the next moment, the pain came from his throat, and then Shi Yong felt that his breathing suddenly became difficult, and Shi Yong took a deep breath, but it only brought a stinging pain in his throat.

"It's over!" Shi Yong felt the power in his body gradually disappear, and then Shi Yong fell off the horse violently.

"It turns out that there are really people who can take the rank of general from the army, like probing for things......" The look in Shi Yong's eyes gradually disappeared with this thought.

"Dashuai, what's wrong with you?"

"Dashuai!"

As soon as Shi Yong fell, the surrounding guards surrounded him, and at this time, everyone appeared, at Shi Yong's throat, there was a fatal injury, which had penetrated Shi Yong's throat.

Everyone was surprised by Shi Yong's corpse, and just now Shi Yong led everyone to charge forward, but the next moment Shi Yong died so inexplicably, and everyone didn't even know how Shi Yong died.

"Dashuai is dead!" I don't know who spoke first, but on the battlefield where the shouting of killing shook the sky, this shout did not attract too many people's attention. Shi Yong's handsome banner is still erected there, and if the handsome flag does not fall, the cavalry will continue to charge forward.

The man in the middle of the fight quickly retreated. Ten thousand armies take the enemy's commander rank from it. Many special conditions need to be met. to be able to do it. Even if it's Adou's martial arts. Nor will it be easy to take such a risk.

If the enemy is the main leader, Zhuge Liang will definitely stay at the end, and will give Adou such a chance to get close. But Shi Yong led the troops to rush forward without knowing whether he was alive or dead.

In the midst of chaos. There is a battle going on at the front. There are also Zhuge crossbows that are constantly suppressed. In this chaotic battlefield, Adou did not attract the attention of the people. The speed of the Karen light cavalry is still very fast. Although it is not said that walking thousands of miles a day is walking 600 miles a day, there is still no problem. When the horses are sprinting up at full speed. Sitting on a horse, the knight is considered to be a fighter. There was also no time to react.

It's better than Guan Yu back then. At that time, Guan Yu shot in chaos. Killed Yan Liang before Yan Liang could react. If it was in normal times, Guan Yu would rush over after reporting his name. It will inevitably become the target of everyone, and everyone will pay attention to Guan Yu. It became impossible for Guan Yu to kill Yan Liang in seconds.

Now Adou is the same, Dou suddenly chose the place of raid after seeing Shi Yongshuaiqi moving forward. chaotically on the battlefield. As long as Adou is not visible, he will not become the target of public criticism. Attract the attention of the cavalry. That's why he was able to sneak to Shi Yong's side easily.

Moreover, in history, the commanders of ethnic minorities were killed in front of the two armies many times. This is especially true when this minority is still nomadic. The death rate is even higher in the manager's field.

Nomads fought mainly on the move, so it was impossible to protect their commanders in a stable formation like the infantry.

The cavalry's special combat methods make it possible in many cases that there are still a bunch of soldiers under him, and the commander dies first. During the Warring States Period, Li Mu, Qin Mengtian, Zhou Yafu of the Han Dynasty, and Li Guang all had records of killing the Xiongnu commanders. Later, when the Northern Wei Dynasty fought against the Turks and Rouran, he also killed its commander on the battlefield, and then the first emperor of the Manchu Dynasty, Nurhachi, was killed by artillery on the battlefield.

At this time, although the human commander Shi Yong was killed by Adou's sudden attack, there were still many people, and the news of Shi Yong's death had not yet spread, so people were still fighting bravely and kept attacking the positions of the Shu army.

It was clearly unwise to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the vine armor soldiers. The agility of the rattan armor soldiers is three points stronger than that of ordinary infantry, and they are invulnerable to swords and spears all over their bodies, so as long as they have the stamina to fight, they will take advantage of their invincibility.

At this time, several teams of people have gone around the flank of the Shu army and began to raid the Shu army on the flank, but all the Shu troops are rattan armor soldiers, so they don't have to worry about the damage of arrows, so the formation of the Shu army has been kept relatively dense, even if the Qian cavalry attacks the flank, it cannot carry out a fatal blow to the Shu army. The vine armor soldiers still resisted the attack of the Qiang.

"Shoot the arrows!" The Zhuge Repeater in the middle was powerful again, but what people didn't expect was that this time the target of the Zhuge Repeater turned out to be the crowd that was fighting, and it was indiscriminate shooting.

A strong crossbow will indeed cause typhoid fever to the cavalry, but according to human experience, once it enters the range of the bow and arrow, the battle will be dominated by the cavalry, and once the two sides are short handled, whether it is the bow and arrow of the Qiang people or the crossbow arrow of the Han people, because it will be easy to accidentally injure their own people, there is no way to wield it. What's more, in a battle like this, the formation of the Han people is more dense, and when the arrows fall, the Han people will be injured more, so since the hand-to-hand combat with the Han people, people have no defense against bows and arrows falling.

However, this time, the opponent of the person is the rattan armor soldier, the rattan armor can avoid arrows, even if the crossbow arrow comes down, nailed to the rattan armor, it cannot cause the slightest damage to the soldier. Zhuge repeater's seemingly indiscriminate shooting is actually only able to cause typhoid fever to people.

Although the lack of high bridge saddle and bilateral horse pedal assistance, the power of the cavalry in the Three Kingdoms period was far less than that of later generations, but the cavalry still has a certain advantage over the infantry, but the advantage is not as obvious as later, not to mention the large number of soldiers, the battle until now, the formation of the Shu army in the front hand-to-hand combat has been a little chaotic. And this round of arrow rain fell just in time, and the Qian army, which was originally in hand-to-hand combat, suddenly fell a large piece, and the pressure of the Shu army decreased sharply, and the formation was stabilized again.

Seeing that the arrows hit the rattan armor and were bounced away, it was only then that he understood why the Han army dared to shoot indiscriminately, and the rattan armor soldiers of the Han army were not afraid of the arrows falling at all, and only people were injured.

After a round of suppression by Zhuge Lian's crossbow, the Shu army that was fighting on the front line got a little respite, and took advantage of this respite to readjust the formation.

……

The place where the Shu army and people fought was only more than 100 miles away from Chang'an City, and the Shu army and people combined also had an army of 80,000, and a battle of this scale was immediately detected by Kebineng's scouts, and at the same time reported to Kebineng who was 100 miles away.

Outside Chang'an, the Hu army is in a joint camp.

Bu Dugen walked into the Chinese army tent of Kebineng quickly, and at this time, Liu Bao and Fu Luohan had already arrived.

Kebi was very unhappy to see this

glanced at it, and then said: "The spies I sent out have just investigated a hundred miles away, and the people and the Han are fighting, and now the war is scorching, and the outcome is still unpredictable. ”

"Aren't the Han armies all in Chang'an City, how can they appear more than a hundred miles west of Chang'an, could it be that the reinforcements of the Han people are coming?" Fu Luo Han asked.

Bu Dugen next to him nodded: "What the eldest brother said is right, I want to come with Han reinforcements!" Unexpectedly, these Han people had already arrived at a place a hundred miles away from Chang'an City before they were revealed. ”

Fu Luo Han said: "I think these Han people should have come out of the Meridian Valley or the Slope Valley in order to bypass those people and appear so close to Chang'an. ”

"That's what the big brother said." Bu Dugen looked at Ke Bineng with some schadenfreude, and then said: "I remember that a few days ago, someone swore that the Han people would never go out of the Meridian Valley!" Ay...... One general is incapable of killing the three armies! ”

The nature in the root words of the step is Kebi Neng. Since the annihilation of the entire army of Fuluo Han, the strength of Xianbei in the west has been greatly reduced, and Xianbei Kebineng in the central part has become friendly with Liu Bao again, and it is natural to become the commander of the Hu people's coalition army. Now that he has been brought to this opportunity to ridicule Ke Bineng by Budugen, Budugen will naturally not let it go.

"Humph!" Kebi snorted coldly. Kebi naturally heard that the "incompetent" general that Bu Dugen said was himself. But this time, it was indeed a mistake in Kebineng's judgment, and Kebi Neng had to swallow this breath.

Western Xianbei and Xianbei have always been at odds, and everyone present knew that Fu Luohan was afraid that the two would quarrel again if there was a discord, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and changed the topic and said: "Two Shan Yu, the Han people are less than a hundred miles away from here, should we send troops immediately?" ”

"Sending troops? Why send troops? There are 100,000 people on the other side of Shi, and they won't be able to defeat even a few Han people, so they don't need us to support them at all! Liu Bao said in a deep voice.

Hu: It's a feud with the Qianren, so Liu Bao can't wait for everyone to die, so naturally he doesn't want to send people to support them.

"What King Zuo Xian said is that people are not capable of fighting on their own, so there is no need for us to support them! Otherwise, they will think that we look down on these warriors......" Budugen also interjected.

Ke Neng shook his head slightly: "I think it's better to send some soldiers over." ”

"Kebineng, what do you mean? Are you going to support those people? Have you forgotten that a few days ago, people used us Xianbei people as two-legged sheep? You're still not one of our Xianbei people! When Budugen heard that Kebineng was going to send troops, he was immediately furious.

A few days ago, Shi Yong noticed that the Xianbei people were gradually hostile to people, so he immediately led his troops to attack Tianshui, avoiding the Xianbei and Huns outside Chang'an City.

"Of course I'm a Xianbei person!" Kebineng's eyes flashed with murder, and he said: "I only said that I was sending troops, not to support people!" ”

"Kebineng, what do you mean ......?"

"Those people eat my people, how can this revenge not be avenged! However, before Shi Yong, they had 100,000 horses, which was not easy to deal with, and now Shi Yong came back from Tianshui, and encountered the Han people's resistance, even if he could win, the loss would be not small, and now the people are weak, just take this opportunity to eliminate the Qianren! Kebineng said.

Hearing that Ke Bi could say that he wanted to eliminate the Qianren, Liu Bao was the first to stand up: "Shan Yu said it well, this battle, our Huns have decided!" ”

On the other side, Budugen and Fu Luohan glanced at each other. The place where the Qiang people live is close to the western Xianbei, so the elimination of the Qiang people is also a good thing for the western Xianbei, so Bu Dugen and Fu Luohan exchanged glances and agreed to send troops together to eliminate the Xianbei.

"Shan Yu, just like this, we have less 100,000 people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to capture Chang'an City. Now that we have besieged Chang'an City for so long, there is not much grain and grass in Chang'an City, and I am afraid that it will not last long. ”

"Unwilling? What if you are not reconciled! Ke Bineng snorted coldly: "Do you think Cao burned Xiao Guan and let us enter Yongzhou, so that there is any kindness?" Cao couldn't beat Liu Bei by himself, so he burned Xiao Guan and let us come over, wanting us to fight with Liu Bei to lose both ways, Cao Hao sat and reaped the benefits of the fisherman! However, Liu Bei is not stupid, he is not willing to fight with us to shrink into Chang'an City, hoping to return to the grassland by himself when we are finished. Liu Bei should have been waiting, waiting for the reinforcements from Shu to come over, so that we can retreat in the face of difficulties! ”

"Hmph, the Han people are more cunning than the other! But we just gave up Chang'an City? At that time, Chang'an City was the capital of the Han Dynasty, and it was extremely rich, and there were countless gold and silver mountains in it! ”

"Haven't you had enough? For such a long time, the entire Yongzhou has been looted by us, and many places have been looted, although we failed to take Chang'an City this time, it is enough for us to return to the grassland for four or five years. Kebineng said very calmly.

"Shan Yu still want to go back?" Liu Bao said a little unwillingly: "We can turn Yongzhou into our grassland, kill all the Han people, and move all our people over." ”

"Grassland? How much grass is there in Yongzhou? Can the grasslands of Yongzhou compare to our prairies? ”

"Shan Yu, Yongzhou is fertile for thousands of miles, and the horses that feed us with those grains in the field can run faster.

"Fertile Chisato? Guanzhong is fertile and has a lot of food, but where does this food come from? Did it fall from the sky? Those are all planted by the Han people, we have killed all the Han people, who will farm the land, will we let our warriors get off the horse and farm the land? Will they plant? Even if they were given seeds, would they be able to plant them? Kebineng said coldly.

"Uh......" Liu Bao was suddenly speechless by Kebi Neng. After a long time, Liu Bao then asked tentatively: "Then leave some Han people, as our slaves, to help us farm the land." ”

"There are so many fields in Yongzhou, how many people do you have to leave? Without seven or eight hundred thousand people, can we plant so much land? If there are more Han Chinese left than our people, or about the same number as our people, do you think we can rule so many Han people? ”

"This ......" Liu Bao was speechless again.

"Alright, that's it, let's destroy the clansmen first! We'll leave right away, and I've heard that people have also robbed a lot of things. After the destruction of the Qianren, let's grab it again, and then go back to the grassland, the Han infantry can't catch up with us. This mess in Yongzhou, let Liu Bei and Cao fight for themselves! ”

……

On the same day, Kebineng, Budugen and Liu Bao marched westward with their armies.

……

Inside Chang'an City.

Zhang Fei quickly ran in from outside, and when he saw Pang Tong, he immediately said, "Shiyuan."

The Hu people have withdrawn! ”

"The Hu people are going west?" Pang Tong hurriedly asked.

"It's going west."

Pang Tong gently shook the feather fan in his hand: "If what I expected is good, it should be that Kong Ming has already led reinforcements." ”

"Really?" Zhang Fei had a hint of joy on his face: "Since this is the case, I will immediately lead the army out and pursue the Hu people!" ”

"Hehehe...... The three generals should not be impatient. Pang Tong hurriedly stopped Zhang Fei: "Three generals, those Hu people are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, can you catch up with them?" Let's tell Your Majesty the good news, and I'm sure Your Majesty's illness will get better. ”

Liu Bei has been sick in bed for a long time

However, as the sky gradually warmed up, Liu Bei's body gradually improved, but there was still no time for recovery.

Liu Bei is already in his sixties, and few people feel that this great monarch, who has been self-made for 40 years, may not last long.

When Zhang and Pang Tong came in, Guan Yu was sitting next to Liu Bei's bed, talking to Liu Bei.

"Big brother, good news!" Zhang Fei raised his voice loudly, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Three, what's the good news?" Guan Yu asked.

"The second brother is also here! It's really good news, the Hu people have withdrawn. ”

"The Hu people have withdrawn?" Guan Yu thought for a moment, a smile appeared on his face, and then said: "Presumably, it was the reinforcements from Shuzhong who came to force the Hu people to retreat." ”

But Liu Bei's face did not have the slightest smile, but a trace of guilt rose on Liu Bei's face, and Zhang Fei next to him saw that Liu Bei was still bitter, and said: "What's wrong with the eldest brother, are you not happy to hear it?" ”

"Ahem...... Rejoice, rejoice! Liu Bei coughed lightly, nodded with a smile, and then said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "The two virtuous brothers are a little tired, let me rest and rest." ”

Guan Yu immediately got up: "Big brother, don't be too tired, you should rest more." After speaking, Guan Yu pulled the somewhat reluctant Zhang Fei and walked out. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has also retired." Pang Tong waved at Liu Bei, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"Shi Yuan, you wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

Pang Tong hurriedly turned around, walked to Liu Bei's front and said, "Your Majesty, please command." ”

"Hey......" Liu Bei sighed, and after a long time, a sentence popped out of his mouth: "Shiyuan, I really regret it!" ”

"Your Majesty!"

"Shiyuan, don't interrupt me, you let me finish." Liu Bei took a few breaths, and then said: "I am incompetent, the Hu army is overwhelmed, but they only cower in the city, not daring to fight. Have pity on the people of Yongzhou...... These are my big people! ”

Liu Bei said this, and sighed: "Shiyuan, in fact, if I dare to fight to the death with the Hu people, maybe the people of Yongzhou will not suffer such a catastrophe...... But I don't dare, I really don't dare...... I am over sixty years old, and I am dying, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, I have turned to the world, and I have suffered repeated defeats, and I have not had a place to settle down for half my life. Until you met Kong Mingyu, you have two rivers in ten years, and now you occupy the land of Longxing in Guanzhong...... I have today, it is really hard-won, I really don't want to lose it in vain, but I, the people of Yongzhou...... Hey, it's all my fault, it's all my fault! ”

Listening to Liu Bei in the east and west, it seemed incoherent, but Pang Tong deeply understood what Liu Bei said.

Liu Bei Rong has been a horse for half his life, but before he met Zhuge Liang, he was still wandering around, without a little territory, and now in just ten years, Liu Bei has owned Guanzhong and Bashu, and at least one of the three parts of the world is occupied, but at this time, Cao let Hu people enter Xiao Pass.

With Liu Bei's strength, if he does his best, he can fight a battle, at least he can fight with the Hu people to lose both, in that case, the Hu people will suffer and will inevitably retreat, and most of the people in Yongzhou can be saved. But Liu Bei did not do this at that time.

Liu Bei didn't want to bury all his family here, and he didn't want to be profited by Cao Zhen, who was eyeing him on the customs clearance, so when the clan came, Liu Bei chose to retreat into Chang'an City, and then declared to the outside world that Hu Ren was powerful and he was not an opponent, so he could only be trapped in Chang'an City.

Liu Bei also understood that it was impossible for the Hu people not to leave Yongzhou for a long time, and the purpose of the Hu people coming was just to rob the property, so Liu Bei had been thinking in his heart that if the Hu people had robbed enough, they would return to the grassland by themselves. Although Liu Bei could only get a ruined Yongzhou, Liu Bei's troops were not lost, and he still had the capital to dominate the world.

Liu Bei's plan is very good, but there is another point, Liu Bei is a relative of the Han family, and the blood of the Han people still flows in his bones. Giving up the people of Yongzhou, Liu Bei still couldn't pass his own level in his heart.

Since he withdrew into Chang'an, every time Liu Bei sleeps, as long as he closes his eyes, he will think of the Yongzhou people who died under the knife of the Hu people, and think that these people were indirectly killed by himself. After the doctor investigated, he only said that Liu Bei was in a hurry, but he didn't know that Liu Bei's real cause was heart disease.

The so-called heart disease still requires heart medicine, Hu Ren left, Liu Bei did not let go of the burden in his heart, but felt even more guilty. At this time, Liu Bei urgently needed someone to confide in to express the emotions in his heart. So Liu Bei chose Pang Tong.

Liu Bei chose Pang Tong for another reason, that is, Liu Bei believed that Pang Tong would be able to find a good reason to excuse himself and help him shirk his responsibility, what Liu Bei needed was a kind of self-comfort and hypnosis, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and others couldn't do this.

Pang Tong is a smart man, as soon as he heard Liu Bei say this, he understood Liu Bei's intentions after a little thought, Liu Bei hoped that he could explain him and find a reason for him, so that Liu Bei's conscience could pass.

Pang Tong's heart suddenly rose a trace of helplessness and sympathy, he couldn't imagine that Liu Bei's generation of heroes had reached such a point that they needed this method of quenching their thirst to obtain consolation on their conscience, is this still the indomitable Liu Bei back then?

At this time, Pang Tong suddenly realized that Liu Bei was really old! Maybe it's time for this emperor's position to be given to the young Adou......

Liu Bei is old, and the gluttonous worm suddenly shows that he is also old. Two years ago, gluttonous insects often stayed up late, and it was normal to go to bed after five o'clock in the morning, but now it doesn't work, two consecutive all-nighters, the body is unbearable, and the years are urging people to get old...... It seems that the current gluttony is still more suitable for a regular life, and in the future, I will not be forced to the point where I can't do it, and I won't carry it all night anymore. By the way, ask for a few monthly passes.
