Chapter 197: The Famous General is amazed
As soon as these words came out, Huangfu Song's face changed immediately, and Li Yan and other generals also changed their expressions.
"Su Cheqi, when the spirit and morale of our army are still there, you don't attack, now the soldiers have been standing empty for a few hours, and the spirit and fighting spirit have been depressed, but you want to attack the city, are you kidding?"
Huangfu Song immediately objected.
Su Zhe turned his head to look at Huangfu Song, and asked rhetorically, "General Huangfu, do you think I seem to be joking?" ”
Huangfu Song was stunned, looked at Su Zhe with wide eyes, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Li Yan and other generals, although they also felt that Su Zhe's order was quite inappropriate, but seeing that Huangfu Song was choked back, they naturally didn't dare to say anything.
At that moment, the generals had no choice but to take orders and carry them out separately.
Knock knock~~
The sound of war drums shook the sky and resounded through the clouds.
The silent fighting spirit of the Soviet soldiers was finally awakened by the sound of drums, and all the officers and men cheered up and began to advance towards the enemy city.
Large and small military formations approached the enemy city, expecting to be attacked by a dense range of arrows, but to the surprise, there was not a single sharp arrow on the city.
The Soviet soldiers were both happy and suspicious, and they couldn't control a lot, so they took this opportunity to build a trench bridge, smoothly crossed the moat, and hundreds of ladders were erected on the city wall.
Li Yan Ganning gave an order, and thousands of soldiers, inspired by the sound of war drums, began to climb bravely along the ladder towards the city.
Something even more surprising happened to them.
On the top of the city, there was no drop of a sassal tree, no flying stone was thrown, and the defenders of Jingzhou seemed to have become dead, and there was no resistance at all.
The officers and men of the Soviet army almost effortlessly climbed to the top of the city without blood, and planted the general flag with the word "Su" high at the head of Xiangyang City.
When the soldiers climbed to the top of the city, they were surprised to find that the north gate had already been empty, but they had planted many flags and bluffed.
"What's going on? Liu Biao's house actually abandoned the city and fled, and retreated without a fight? Why is that? ”
Li Yan and Gan Ning, the two generals standing at the head of the city, glanced at each other, and the two looked back at the direction of Su Zhe outside the city, their faces full of surprise and puzzlement.
Outside the city.
The city gate was opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and the Soviet soldiers calmly poured into Xiangyang City without bloodshed.
Huangfu Song stood on the suspension bridge, looking at the north gate of Xiangyang that was opened, and the whole person fell into amazement, as if he couldn't believe the facts in front of him.
Xiangyang City went down without a fight.
"Old General Yizhen, why don't you enter the city?" Su Zhe's voice sounded behind him.
Huangfu Song woke up suddenly, looked back, but saw Su Zhe riding a horse slowly, his face was relaxed and idle, as if the capture of Xiangyang was in his expectation, and he was not half surprised at all.
"Su car ride, this ...... What the hell is going on? Huangfu Song asked with a look of surprise.
Su Zhe smiled faintly: "Didn't I say it, now is a good time to attack the city, look, I said it." ”
Huangfu Song was anxious, and hurriedly said: "I said Su Che ride, don't sell Guanzi, what kind of trick did you use?" ”
The appetite was enough, and Su Zhe didn't need to play tricks anymore, so he arranged how he arranged Wei Yan, pretending to be a fugitive from Jingzhou, mixed in among the thousands of soldiers who left the camp, calmly mixed into Xiangyang City, and cooperated with Hu Che'er outside the city, taking advantage of the fact that the enemy's main force was attracted to the north gate, and attacked the east gate together.
The truth was revealed, and the doubts in Huangfu Song's eyes were gone, and he suddenly realized.
"Could it be that the fundamental purpose of letting go of those reorganized soldiers that day was not to win people's hearts, but to create an opportunity for Wei Yan to blend into Xiangyang City?" Huangfu Song asked with a surprised expression.
Su Zhe nodded slightly, and sighed: "The human heart is this thing, ethereal, compared with the real soldiers and horses, I would rather have soldiers and horses, if it is not a last resort, how can I be willing to give thousands of hard-earned soldiers and horses to Liu Biao, how can there be such a cheap thing in this world." ”
Huangfu Song completely woke up, he shouldn't have said anything, he only looked at Su Zhe with amazed eyes, and his heart was amazed.
After a while, Huangfu Song gave him a thumbs up and sighed: "Su Cheqi, you really opened the old man's eyes again, you are worthy of being the first of the nine wonders evaluated by the Military Divisions League, and it is really worthy of the name." ”
Su Zhe smiled and laughed at himself: "What is the head of the Nine Wonders, it's just a false name, there are countless wise and resourceful people in the world, and many people haven't shown their heads yet, I don't dare to be the word 'head'." ”
Although he is humble, he is full of an innate self-confidence in his gestures.
"This Wolong, it's really extraordinary, the queen can choose him from a poor family to rely on, it's really discerning, it's just that this person's wisdom is too treacherous, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse in the future......"
Huangfu Song secretly pondered, looked at Su Zhe's eyes, and became complicated, with both admiration and a little imperceptible jealousy.
Su Zhe said happily: "The city gate has been broken, I expect that Liu Biao will roll up and get out of the way and flee to Jiangling, let's not be idle, hurry up and join the army to chase south, it is best to catch up and destroy Liu Biao, no matter how bad it is, we must hit him as hard as possible." ”
Huangfu Song's thoughts came back, and he was full of pride, and with a big gun in his hand, he said proudly: "Su Cheqi is reasonable, Liu Biao dares not to respect the Son of Heaven, and if he is not killed, he will be frightened, and he can show the prestige of the imperial court." ”
After that, Huangfu Song jumped on his horse with a gun and entered the city.
Su Zhe smiled, and slowly rode into the city, climbed the north gate, stood on the head of the city, and looked down on Xiangyang City.
The city was full of gunsmoke, dust and fog, and the sound of killing shattered the heavens and the earth, and his infantry and cavalry were slaughtering bloodily, chasing the defeated enemy.
Xiangyang City, the state of Jingzhou, the famous city in the world, and the important town that controls Jianghan, was finally stepped on by him.
Recalling that half a year ago, he was just a humble man with no name and despised, and he was forced to bow to Liu Biao, Cai Mao, Huang Zu, and Cai Mao.
And now, he killed these people who despised him one by one until they were defeated, killed until they fled into the wilderness, and even their lair Xiangyang was forced to give up.
Kick those who once despised you to the ground, what could be more painful in this world.
"Liu Biao's frustration has just begun, and the good show is still to come......" Su Zhe raised a sarcastic sneer on his face.
Behind him, the big flag with the word "Su" fluttered dazzlingly in the scenery.
……
In the south of Xiangyang City, Liu Biao and his thousands of defeated soldiers were protecting a group of family members and fleeing south all the way.
From Xiangyang to Jiangling, a distance of nearly six or seven hundred miles, Liu Biao didn't even have the courage to stop and rest, and ran wildly all night and night.
In this battle, he was completely frightened by Su Zhe, and he just wanted to flee to Jiangling as soon as possible.
Two days later, when the sun is on the slope of Changban.
After escaping for several days, everyone was exhausted, and Liu Biao was also exhausted, so he had to order to stop running and rest temporarily.
Liu Biao sat under the tree and poured a large bag of wine in a row, and his rough breath barely calmed down.
"I, Liu Jingsheng, the pastor of a state and a member of the Han family, I didn't expect that I would fall to such a state, it's really sad......"
Liu Biao looked in the direction of the north, sighed with emotion, and had a depressed expression.
The civil and military soldiers on the left and right all sighed one by one, and their mood was gloomy.
At this time, Kuai Liang said: "Don't be too sad, although Xiangyang has fallen, but most of Jingzhou is still in our hands, as long as we can retreat to Jiangling smoothly, after recovering in time, we will raise troops to the north to recover Xiangyang, and it is not without a chance to destroy the Su thieves." ”
"Yes, my lord, now that the Jingnan rebellion has been quelled, we have no worries, we can concentrate on dealing with the Su thief in the future, I believe that in less than half a year, we will be able to kill back to Xiangyang." Kuai Yue also followed and comforted.
Liu Biao's mood only improved a little, then he cheered up and stood up, "You are right, it's just that you lost a Xiangyang City, there are Jiangling in this mansion, there is also Xiakou, and the four counties of Jingnan will come back sooner or later to take revenge on the thief." ”
At that moment, Liu Biao turned over and got on his horse and told the soldiers to continue their journey.
A group of remnants of the defeated army once again embarked on the road to flee south, walking for less than an hour, the front has reached the end of the Nagasaka slope, a river appeared in front of them, and there was a wooden bridge over the water.
Liu Biao seemed to see hope, pointed to the wooden bridge from afar, and said happily: "You are all in good spirits, and if you cross the river and tear down the wooden bridge, you can block the pursuit of the Su thieves, and we will have peace of mind." ”
Everyone was in high spirits, cheered up, and ran towards the wooden bridge desperately.
Climb over a small mound and see the river and the bridge in front of you.
Everyone gasped.
Liu Biao changed color, the Kuai brothers changed color, and Wen Ping's expression also changed.
On the other side of the wooden bridge ahead, 5,000 soldiers and horses lined up at the head of the bridge, blocking their way south.
"The Su thief actually laid an ambush here! This...... This...... It's a thing, and I'm ......."
Liu Biao was shocked in the blink of an eye, and he screamed angrily in the sky.
The remnants of the defeated soldiers behind him were even more frightened, and in the blink of an eye, they became a pot of porridge.
There is Su Zhe's army chasing behind, and there are ambushes blocking the road in front, they are equivalent to being blocked on the bank of the river, and the destruction of the whole army is almost a foregone conclusion, so it is strange not to be afraid.
At this time, Kuai Yue was the first to calm down and comforted: "Don't panic, my lord, this place is three or four hundred miles away from Xiangyang, even if the thief has the ability to reach the sky, how can he unknowingly ambush all the soldiers and horses here." ”
"That'...... So where did this team of soldiers come from? Liu Biao's mood calmed down slightly.
Kuai Yue pondered for a moment, and then said: "I received news in advance that Cai Mao has led the Changsha soldiers to the north to help, maybe this army is Cai Mao's department." ”
"Really?" Liu Biao saw hope in his eyes, but he didn't dare to be sure.
Kuai Yue said confidently: "I guess that most of this army must be Cai Mao's department, and the lord will wait here for a while, and I will confirm it myself." ”
After that, Kuai Yue took a few horsemen and horses and went straight to the wooden bridge.
Liu Biao could only stay in place, anxiously waiting for the news of Kuai Yue.
A quarter of an hour later, Kuai Yue returned, followed by a half-white veteran.
The veteran rode up to the mound, turned over and dismounted, and bowed: "The last general, Huang Zhong, meet the lord." ”
