Du Xun also killed from the mountain, and a beautiful siege and annihilation battle came to an end, annihilating 11,000 enemy troops, collecting and surrendering more than 5,000 Cao soldiers, and 3 or 400 horses. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Du Xi immediately sent someone to clean up the battlefield, and also searched for a talisman from Song Xian's corpse and handed it to Xing Daorong: "The enemy is newly defeated, you can bring a team to surrender troops, so you can open the city gate and take the opportunity to capture the city!" ”

Du Xi whispered a few words to Xing Daorong, and arranged their own affairs.

Since the battle just now, Xing Daorong naturally believed in Du Xian, immediately received the order, ordered 5,000 men and horses, and led hundreds of old and weak Cao troops to go straight to Wufang City.

Under the coercion of Xing Daorong, the old and weak soldiers of Cao Jun were naturally ordered to open the city gate, and because a large number of people were taken away by Song Xian, there was not much left in the city, and Xing Daorong successfully controlled the whole city. But dozens of Cao troops took advantage of the chaos to open the east gate and fled to Canyang.

Xing Daorong occupied Wu's house with his front foot, and Du Xi immediately led the men and horses behind him and the troops into the city.

Arranged for his reliable lieutenants to defend the city, and Xing Daorong once again led a team of men and horses out of the city overnight, following the fleeing Cao army.

At the head of the city of Canyang, the defenders are closely guarding, I heard that the people of Jingzhou have come to attack recently, and Hou Cheng, the defender of Canyang, did not dare to be careless, patrolling day and night, and did not dare to appear in the pool. I heard that Prime Minister Cao Cao had sent the general Li Tong to lead people to help, as long as he held on until Li Tong arrived, and there was a large team of men and horses to defend the city, he was naturally not afraid.

The night was silent, even the birds fell asleep, and only the cries of the night owls did not sound.

Suddenly, there was the sound of rapid footsteps outside the city, and someone was coming towards the city gate.

"Who's coming? Stop now, or you won't be killed! The lieutenant of the defenders immediately shouted loudly.

"General, please report to General Hou Cheng, we are the defenders of Wu Fang, and there is General Song's token here. The Jingzhou army attacked the city overnight, with countless casualties in the city, and it was in danger, please send the general to support quickly, it will be too late! The visitor replied immediately, constantly dressed roughly, and obviously ran in a hurry.

"Walk closer and let someone check it out!" The lieutenant didn't dare to be careless, but it was pitch black outside the city, and he couldn't see clearly.

The man in charge immediately approached the side of the drawbridge, and the lieutenant opened a gap in the gate, but did not lower the drawbridge, and went out alone to look at the drawbridge for a while. The sergeant on the opposite side was covered in mud and blood, and there were injuries on his body, apparently left by the fight when he left the city, and the lieutenant believed most of it.

And these are the sergeants who were originally from Yuzhou carefully selected by Du Xian, and immediately sent out to carry out a new plan after the successful capture of the city by Xingdaorong. This continuous plan was originally a strategy set by Du Xian after learning about the defenders of the two cities and the reality of the two cities.

"You wait, I'll go and report to the general, please make a decision!" The lieutenant agreed, and immediately dodged into the city gate.

After a while, Hou Cheng, who was neatly draped, appeared on the city wall, wiped it ugly again, and let Du Wei open the city gate and let a few people in.

After carefully inquiring about the process, checking the token, and without any doubts, he immediately ordered five thousand people to gallop to Wu Fang.

Hou Cheng was anxious to help Wu Fang, but he couldn't help but because he was afraid of being questioned. In addition, he and Song Xian are both the original Lu Bu's generals, and they have not been allowed to be reused, and no one cares about them in the Cao army, which is full of generals, and they are also criticized and looked down upon by many people because of this matter. This is also the reason why he hurriedly sent troops, if it was someone else, he could completely refuse on the excuse that he did not know the truth and was not suitable to send troops in the middle of the night, and let him resign himself to fate.

Along the way, Hou Cheng remembered the experience of the first half of his life, and he couldn't help but be a little bleak, and he was even more fast, hoping to save Song Xian's life in time.

At the head of Wufang City, Du ordered the sergeant to change into Cao Jun's uniform and stand with his hands tied.

Hou Cheng rushed to find that there was no war at all, and he felt a little strange, so he prepared to go back to his horse and leave. Suddenly, an army shouted from behind: "Lingling Punishment Dao Rong is here, Song Xian is dead, and Hou Cheng still doesn't get off his horse and surrender?" ”

Hou Cheng immediately knew that he was fooled, so he allowed himself to break through the siege and left, and suddenly saw the rain of arrows at the head of the city, and immediately killed and wounded, and the city gate was opened, and Du Xiantong led thousands of men and horses out of the city to fight, and the two armies were attacked, and the battle was lost.

was shot and killed by the two soldiers and horses, and the horses had already suffered 1,000 casualties, and the remaining men and horses were also injured countless people, and their morale plummeted, and they could not fight at all. Hou Cheng was also brave, and he still killed dozens of Jingzhou troops under such unfavorable circumstances. Xing Daorong stared at Hou Cheng and continued to besiege and kill, so that the sergeants beside Hou Cheng continued to decrease, and under several charges, Hou Cheng not only did not break through, but was surrounded even more powerfully, and his men and horses were also cut into several sections, and they were completely tortured and killed.

Hou Cheng met the punishment of Daorong, and he fought for dozens of rounds, but he couldn't win, but he gradually fell into a disadvantage, and he was about to be beheaded.

Du Xun suddenly rushed in and shouted, "Stop! ”

Xing Daorong naturally put away the knife and retreated, which immediately made Hou Cheng immediately feel like he was in the aftermath of the catastrophe, and temporarily saved his life.

With Du Raid's shout, his sergeants also immediately retreated, but the encirclement formed did not change at all, if Du Raid gave the order, they could immediately raise their swords to kill the enemy.

Du Cheng said: "General Hou Cheng, you are also a long-time battle-hardened, you should be able to see that you are already in a catastrophe tonight." I learned that since you surrendered to Cao Cao, you have been unreused, obscure, and almost unknown to the world, and most people think that you were secretly disposed of by Cao Cao. ”

Du Xi said what Hou Cheng was thinking, making Hou Cheng silent for a while.

Du Xun continued: "Although Cao Cao has some talents, he is also holding the emperor hostage with the help of his power and gaining power, how can he remember my lord Liu Yong." In this case, why didn't General Hou turn back to the shore, lower my lord, and build a meritorious career?

My lord is eloquent and strategic, and only talents are used, I believe the general has already heard of it, right? With the two of us being able to be entrusted with heavy use, I believe that the general will be able to show his skills under the command of the lord! General Hou and think about it yourself. ”

Hou Cheng hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for this general's love, Cheng Ye knows a little about General Liu's actions, and he is indeed the master." It's just that Cheng has already betrayed Lu Bu once, and if he votes for Jingzhou again, I'm afraid that General Liu may not be able to use Cheng, and he will be infamous again......"

Hou Cheng was extremely frustrated, which made everyone present sigh.

Du Xun laughed and said: "General Hou is too worried, my lord is different from others, as long as he is dedicated to the main, he will naturally not suspect it, whether it is a mountain bandit, a peddler or a pawn, or after the door, it can be used, it depends on what you do." There are many generals under my lord's command, have you ever heard of a prejudice against anyone? ”

"Is it really as the general said?" Hou Cheng was tempted, as a general, who didn't want to make contributions, but he could only follow Lu Bu at the beginning, and had to betray him in the end.

Du Raid saw Hou Chengyi's move, and immediately said: "What I Du Raid said is definitely my lord's usual style of doing things, if it is, it can't be used by the lord, and the raid will definitely guarantee that the general's life is worry-free!" ”

Hou Cheng bowed his head and was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said: "If it is really as the general said, Hou Cheng is willing to sacrifice the city and surrender!" After the general occupied the city, Rong Cheng took his family to Xiangyang to meet General Liu Yong. ”

Du Xi was overjoyed: "There is no problem in this matter!" Of course, Du Zheng also understood that Hou Cheng was afraid that in the coming day, Canyang would be broken by Cao's army again, and his family would be slaughtered.

Seeing that Du attacked and responded, Hou Cheng immediately dismounted and knelt empty-handed, and at the same time ordered all the remaining sergeants to surrender.

Halfway through a big battle, Xing Daorong couldn't help but be a little unhappy if he couldn't kill Hou Cheng, but Hou Cheng was able to fight him for dozens of rounds, and he was not weak, and the unhappy thoughts were immediately thrown out of the clouds, and Hou Cheng said: "Haha, your martial arts are good, you have to learn more in the future!" ”

Hou Cheng was also depressed: Did you meet a martial idiot?

Since Hou Cheng had surrendered, Du Xi and Xing Daorong immediately collected their own troops, and selected a group of young and single people from among the surrendered troops, and together with Hou Cheng, they went to Canyang to receive the city, and the rest of the surrendered troops were temporarily collected in Wufang City.

Hou Cheng personally came forward, and many of them were the old troops when Hou Cheng surrendered, so naturally there were not many obstacles, and under the guidance of Hou Cheng, he killed a group of men and lieutenants who were close to Cao Cao, and the entire Canyang immediately stabilized.
