Chapter 932: Give Liu Bei another surprise
Hu Che'er galloped away and passed down the order.
Ma Tie breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Wen Chou proudly.
Wen Chou didn't care, and patted Ma Tie on the shoulder: "I'm just guessing, little brother, don't mind." β
"How dare you." Ma Tie didn't dare to be too pretentious, and he was busy and said politely.
Su Zhe stood up, strode out of the city tower, looked at the south of the city, and sneered: "Liu Bei, your plan can be revealed this time, it seems that the sky is going to destroy you, don't blame any of you." β
Along the front line of the city, 10,000 Wei army foot soldiers, under the leadership of Zhang Ren, were ready to fight.
At the west gate, Wen Chou also arrived, and 10,000 cavalry were crowding the streets, waiting for the city gate to open and rush out.
Yongcheng, which seems to be weak in defense, hides a surging killing machine.
On the Weishui, more than 50,000 Han army foot riders are stepping on the ice and marching all the way to the east.
Although Liu Bei was sitting on a war horse and didn't move much, a layer of cold sweat soaked out of his forehead, and his eyes were always on the ice under his feet.
Although the Weishui had frozen, Liu Bei didn't know how thick the ice was, and he was always afraid that if the ice broke accidentally, he would fall into the ice hole.
The 50,000 Han troops behind him were all cautious, and they were all worried when they took a step.
Even the cavalrymen did not even dare to ride their horses, so they could only dismount and lead their mounts cautiously, fearing that the weight would be too great and crush the ice.
Before I knew it, it was getting dark, and it was almost dusk.
Liu Bei felt a chill on his face, and when he looked up, he saw that snowflakes had fallen in the sky.
The second snow after the beginning of winter came unexpectedly.
"This snow came at such a timely time, God help me." Liu Bei's face swept up with a hint of pride, and he secretly applauded.
He stepped on the ice to cross Longshan this time, in order to sneak attack Yongcheng, and naturally he was eager for all the factors that could cover his whereabouts.
At the moment, the snow is full of wind and snow, which must have blocked the view, and the Wei army in Yongcheng is even more difficult to detect their approach.
In this way, he and his Han army were able to kill the city of Yongcheng unconsciously and capture the city by surprise.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a horse galloped in front of him, it was Pound.
Looking at Pang De, who had no scruples and was rushing closer, Liu Bei couldn't help frowning, for fear that he would shatter the ice and hurt himself to fall down.
Pang Dele stepped forward and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, we have walked out of Longshan, and Yongcheng is in front of us." β
Liu Bei's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly raised his head and swept around, only to find that the peaks and cliffs on both sides of the strait had disappeared at some point, and the terrain on all sides had been open.
"How far is it?" Liu Bei asked excitedly.
"No more than two miles." Pound replied.
"Can the enemy be prepared, how many soldiers and horses are there at the head of the city?" Liu Bei asked again.
"According to the scout's reconnaissance and inquiry, the enemy army should be defenseless, and the enemy's defense at the head of the city is quite empty, at most a thousand soldiers and horses." Pound's excited voice trembled a little.
A thousand soldiers!
Liu Bei's eyes were bright, and he laughed wildly: "God bless my big man, Yang Yishan's strategy is really wonderful!" The order went down, and the whole army immediately landed on the shore, gave me a boost, took Yongcheng, and cut off the return of the Su thief! β
When the order was passed down, the Han soldiers, who had been pinching their sweat and marching the ice, suddenly burst into flames and their fighting spirit was greatly boosted.
Fifty thousand horses scrambled out of the ice, and as soon as they stepped ashore, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
50,000 heads, under the leadership of Liu Bei, finally dared to let go of their hands and feet, rode their horses and galloped, under the guidance of the scouts, under the cover of wind and snow, in the direction of Yongcheng, galloping away.
In less than half an hour, 50,000 Han troops killed Yongcheng.
Liu Bei stared into the distance, passed through the increasingly rapid wind and snow, and vaguely saw a city in front of him.
He could even vaguely see that there were only scattered soldiers walking back and forth at the head of the city, and the whole army was not alert.
God help me!
Liu Bei only had these four words left in his mind, excitedly pulled out his double-strand sword, pointed forward, and shouted: "The soldiers of the Han Dynasty, the time has come for revenge, recapture Yongcheng for me, and kill all Wei dogs!" β
"Kill all the Wei dogsβ"
"Kill all the Wei dogsβ"
Thousands of Han soldiers and soldiers dressed in snow let out an unprecedented roar of excitement, like hungry beasts, eager to tear apart the prey that was close at hand.
Zhang Fei took the lead, holding the Zhangba snake spear in his hand, and led tens of thousands of infantry troops to rush forward.
Pound also jumped out of his horse and followed closely with five thousand cavalry.
The Han army dispatched on all fronts, stepped on the snow, spread across the vast snowy fields, and rushed towards Yongcheng.
At the head of the city, it was the turn of the soldiers on duty to perform.
They pretended to be panicked and screamed, scurrying like headless flies, and the sound of gongs and warnings rang out in the city.
The panic of the Wei army further fueled the arrogance of the Han army, making him think that the Wei army was defenseless and rushed even more violently.
100 stepsββ
Fifty Steps β
Twenty steps β
In the blink of an eye, the enemy army spread to the city of Yongcheng.
Zhang Fei gave an order, and hundreds of flying hooks were thrown into the city, hooking the battlements.
"Give Lao Tzu to climb the city, whoever is the first to climb Yongcheng will be rewarded!" Zhang Fei brandished the snake spear and roared hoarsely
Inspired by the heavy reward, the Han soldiers were like tigers and wolves, regardless of the wind and snow, holding on to the ropes, and scrambling to climb towards the city.
And the more than 5,000 cavalry gathered in the direction of the city gate, just waiting for the Wei army gate to be opened, and then rushed into the city in one go, washed Yongcheng with blood, and killed the Wei army without leaving a single piece of armor.
Su Zhe sat in the city tower, listening to the tsunami-like killing sound of the Han army outside the city, watching the countless Han troops on the snow field sweeping in, there was no trace of jealousy on the heroic face, only a sneer.
A sneer like watching a clown perform.
"Your Majesty, it's almost okay, wait for the Han army to climb up to the city." Xu Chu beside him reminded.
Su Zhe drank the last glass of wine, waved his hand and shouted: "Beat the drums, it's time to make the Han army tremble!" β
The order is here!
Tom Tom Tom β
The drums of war shook the sky, overshadowing the killing sound of the Han army and sounding the horn of the Wei army's counterattack.
Under the city wall, Zhang Ren's eyes were instantly filled with bloodshots, picked up the war knife, and shouted excitedly: "The opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions has come again, brothers, follow me to the city!" β
He strode up the staircase and rushed out of the wall.
The 10,000 Wei soldiers hiding under the base of the wall suddenly boiled with blood, and swarmed towards the city wall from various slopes.
A moment later, with the earth-shattering sound of killing, countless Wei troops appeared along the originally empty line of the city in an instant, like divine soldiers descending from the sky.
This scene stunned the Han army that was besieging the city.
"What's going on, why did so many Wei dogs suddenly pop up, didn't they say they were unprepared?" Zhang Fei exclaimed.
The Han soldiers who were attacking the city were all stunned and surprised, and they were not attacking for a while, nor were they attacking, and they froze on the city wall.
Zhang Ren raised his sword and shouted: "Crossbowmen, shoot the enemy, cut their ropes, fly stones and wood, and smash me to death!" β
Whoosh!
The sharp arrows came out of the string and shot wildly towards the Han army, and the Han army fell to the ground in response, and the screams suddenly rose.
Immediately afterwards, a piece of flying stones and simmer wood smashed down, smashing the enemy army who was climbing the city to pieces.
Because the Han army came from a light army, it wanted to attack the city easily, and did not carry defensive weapons such as shields, so there was no way to resist the blows of the Wei army, and in the blink of an eye, there were countless casualties.
Then, rows of knives rushed up, and the ring knives in their hands ruthlessly slashed down, cutting off the iron cables of the flying hooks.
The soldiers of the Han army attached to the ants on the city wall fell hundreds and hundreds, and in the blink of an eye, they fell into pieces and bones, and fell into pulp.
Blood splattered and stained the walls, turning the vast expanse of snow crimson.
"Go, Ma Tie, it's time to prove your loyalty to me." Su Zhe glanced at Ma Tie beside him.
Without hesitation, Ma Tie strode out and appeared on the city wall.
With a flick of the silver spear in his hand, he pierced the chest of a soldier who had just climbed to the battlement, and fell from the city with a scream.
As soon as the blood-stained silver spear was raised, Ma Tie shouted: "Soldiers of the Han army, I am Ma Tie, don't die for Liu Bei anymore, don't quickly lay down your arms and surrender to the emperor of Great Wei!" β
Ma Tie's appearance shocked the Han army, which was being frustrated, and the army's morale was immediately hit hard.
They originally thought that Ma Tie had been poisoned by the Wei army, but they never expected that Ma Tie was not only alive, but also surrendered to Wei.
Zhang Fei under the city, looking at Ma Tie at the head of the city, his eyes instantly stared at Dou Da, he was stunned and changed color, and he thought he had seen a ghost.
