Chapter 224: Recapture Shangcai City

After singing a high voice of Fei Nuo to receive the order, Haidu bowed again, and then wanted to retire. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But just as Haidu got up and was about to leave, Brother Kuanche, the king of Wei who was sitting on the Taishi's chair, looked at Haidu with a resolute face, but couldn't help but say: "Haidu, don't worry, if this king can live this time, I will take care of your father, elders, wives and children in your family." ”

"Minister, King Xie!" Before leaving, Haidu heard Brother Kuanche's words, no matter whether Brother Kuan Che was sincere or false, he was still full of emotion and saluted Brother Kuanche, and then strode away and left.

……

In the middle of the night, when everything on the earth was shrouded in night, at the northeast second gate of Shangcai City, the only remaining soldiers of Shangcai City also gathered at the second gate, preparing to break through.

When the heavy city gate was slowly opened, the thousands of officers and soldiers in the city who were preparing to break through before would have thought that they would think about the Red Turban Army who was trapped and died in Shangcai City ten months ago, and they could only use this to make a way out.

"There are no more than 10,000 Red Turban soldiers outside the city, and with such troops, if I break through on both sides, he can only attack me with cavalry under his tent for a while. There are only more than 1,000 cavalry under the Red Turban Thief's tent, and if they divide their troops to attack, they will have no spare strength to take care of them, Your Highness, their goal is very small, and they will definitely be able to escape. ”

Thinking like this, when the city gate was completely opened, the three thousand soldiers in the city also broke through from the second gate in the northeast one after another.

"Oh no, no, the Tartars have broken through, the Tartars have broken through!" When 3,000 officers and soldiers, holding torches high, broke through from the northeast gate of Shangcai City, according to Zhang Shihua's order, more than 1,000 soldiers stationed on both sides couldn't help but be on the alert like this.

But fortunately, although Zhang Shihua was besieging the city, because of the problem of troops, Zhang Shihua put all the main troops under his command in the south, garrisoning 2,000 people at the north gate and only 1,000 people at the east gate. As for the West Gate, there are no troops stationed there, because the west is the Nanyang boundary, and if the officers and soldiers dare to go there, it is no different from looking for death.

Of course, let's not talk about this at this time, just talk about Haidu at this time. When Haidu led more than 2,000 foot soldiers under his command to break through the siege and leave the city, because the Red Turban Army did not have many troops stationed at the north gate, so under the cover of the night, the possibility of Haidu and their escape was indeed not small.

However, when Haidu was finally able to escape, he did not rush to break through, after all, his real purpose this time was to cover Brother Wang Kuanche, not for himself.

Besides, Haidu also understands that all the soldiers under his command are foot soldiers, even if he can get lucky enough to break through the first line of defense with these people, how can he still not escape when the Red Turban Army reacts and sends his cavalry to pursue him.

Therefore, this time Haidu came with the heart of death, and he must attract enough attention for His Royal Highness King Wei this time.

And the words are divided into two ends, it is said that when he was entangled with the defenders of the north gate in Haidu, in Zhang Shihua's Chinese army tent, the cavalry who ordered the order also informed Zhang Shihua of the breakthrough of the officers and soldiers in the city at the first time.

……

"Your Excellency, this time the Tartars broke through in two ways, and it is very likely that they will really follow General Han's breakthrough strategy. Therefore, my lord, the last general is willing to lead his cavalry to the east gate to intercept the attack, and then go to the north gate after the east gate is settled, and he will definitely not let one of the Tartars in the city escape. ”

After knowing the news of the breakthrough of the officers and soldiers in the city, Guo Yu, who came in a hurry, couldn't help but ask Zhang Shihua for his life at the first time.

However, after Zhang Shihua heard Guo Yu's words, he was slightly silent for a moment before waving his hand to Guo Yu and said: "This is not in a hurry, the top priority of our army is the large amount of grain and grass that the Tartars have hoarded in Shangcai City. Therefore, Ah Yu, you lead the cavalry into the city first, and after making sure that the food and grass in the city are okay, I will talk about other things. ”

"General, what about the thousands of Tartars who broke through?" Seeing that Zhang Shihua did not give a detailed order in this regard, Guo Yu, who had always wanted to capture King Wei alive to show his fame, couldn't help but ask Zhang Shihua like this.

However, hearing such a question from Guo Yu, Zhang Shihua waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "You don't need to care about this matter, the Tartars broke through at night, but just to escape." The army has no fighting spirit, and I am afraid that they will not be able to turn the sky upside down, and the grain and grass hoarded in Shangcai City is the most important thing for our army. ”

"As for the so-called Tartar prince, even if he is captured alive, it is just a waste of food, so you don't have to say anything about chasing and suppressing thieves, if you force the Tartars to a dead end, we will have to suffer a lot of losses."

"Alright, let's go down!" Speaking of this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but wave his hand and said to Guo Yu like this.

And when Guo Yu heard Zhang Shihua's words, his face naturally looked very unwilling. After all, it was a prince, and if that guy said that Yuanmeng Tianzi was a real dragon, then this King of Rausch Ziwei was at least a dragon.

If such a person can be captured alive, this must be the greatest credit, what a reputation. But there is no way, Zhang Shihua is their lord, and his long-term obedience has made Guo Yu and them dare not have the slightest idea of disobeying Zhang Shihua's orders.

So after hearing Zhang Shihua's order, Guo Yu and the others were unwilling in their hearts. But they still shouted the order at the first time and led the army to carry out the task assigned to them by Zhang Shihua.

And after Zhang Shihua watched all the generals under his tent go down, he couldn't help but secretly think in his heart, "This group of guys, don't I know that capturing King Nawei alive will make our army's reputation soar?" But you guys don't want to think about it, if we arrest that Wei King, what can we get other than a false name? ”

"The only estimate that can be obtained is the hatred of the Yuanmeng court. People and horses are famous for being afraid of pigs, and even he Zhu Chongba knows that he wants to 'build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become king', I made such a big news for myself at this time, isn't it unpleasant to find? ”

"Besides, is it easy to find a pig opponent like this? If you kill King Wei and take him away, then won't we lift a stone and shoot ourselves in the foot? If I Zhang Shihua does something like this, then I will really be an idiot. ”

Thinking like this in his heart, he glanced at Shangcai Cheng outside the tent who was about to fall into his pocket, and Zhang Shihua's face couldn't help but show a smile.

……

"General, no, we've been entangled with the Red Turban Army here for another half an hour, why haven't the reinforcements of the Red Turban Army come to intercept and kill us?" The Han general Ma Lei, who volunteered to follow Haidu's side, after entangled with the Red Turban Army for half an hour at the north gate with the heart of death, saw that the cavalry under Zhang Shihua's command did not come to attack them, he felt that something was wrong, so he couldn't help but ask Haidu beside him.

When Haidu heard Ma Lei's question, he frowned and glanced at the east gate, but he couldn't help but say in an uncertain tone: "Could it be that the Red Turban Army has gone to the east gate." ”

"General, if that's the case, should we continue to entangle with the Red Turban Army here, or should we go directly?" After all, survival is the instinct of all living things, although Ma Lei has a mortal heart, and he is not afraid of death. But then again, who wants to die if they can live.

So under the influence of the survival instinct in his heart, Ma Lei looked at Haidu, who was frowning and thinking, and couldn't help asking.

However, when Haidu heard Ma Lei's words, he shook his head and said: "Now Your Highness, they must have left the city, but in such a short time, Your Highness, the possibility that they will be found outside the city is still too great, let's delay for a quarter of an hour." ”

"Yes, the last general obeys!" Hearing Haidu's words, Ma Lei also happily agreed.

"Anyway, this Red Turban Army doesn't know what's wrong, at the beginning they fought desperately with them, but just now they put on the appearance of sticking to the camp one by one, so it's nothing to stay for a quarter of an hour." Thinking like this in his heart, Ma Lei also conveyed Haidu's order.

Although it is said that after such an order was conveyed, a large number of deserters suddenly appeared on the side of the officers and soldiers because of the lack of fighting spirit. But who cares about this now.

……

Time passed slowly, and after almost two quarters of an hour, after ensuring that nearly 400,000 stone grains and grass in the city were safe and sound, Guo Yu finally received Zhang Shihua's attack. However, it is a pity that due to time reasons, the officers and soldiers of the two gates in the northeast have already disappeared into the night.

Therefore, Guo Yu, who led the cavalry under his command belatedly, did not have the slightest gain at all.

But at this moment, Guo Yu did not have the slightest disappointment in his heart. For when he had seen the mountain of military rations in the city not long ago, he had no dissatisfaction at all. After all, in such a chaotic world, it is clear that there is nothing more precious than food.

"Look, general, are we still pursuing?" After seeing that there was only a mess left outside the North City Gate, but there was not even a shadow of an enemy, Guo Yu's deputy Guo Yang couldn't help but ask.

When Guo Yu heard the words of the deputy general, he turned around and glanced back at the soldiers behind him who were full of joy of victory, but did not have much fighting will, and couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile and said: "The general is right, you are just a Tartar prince, and it is a waste of food to catch it." ”

"Besides, marching and galloping in the middle of the night is an extremely dangerous thing, anyway, we have won the war, and there is really no need to take such an unnecessary risk, let's collect the troops and go back to the city."

"The last general obeys!" Hearing Guo Yu's words, even Guo Yang's face couldn't help but show a cheerful expression. Obviously, after the victory, his spirit became extremely relaxed, and he was no longer willing to entangle with those Tartar deserters in the middle of the night.

However, what Guo Yu and Zhang Shihua didn't expect was that everything that happened tonight was actually witnessed by another person, who took advantage of Zhang Shihua and their overnight entry into Shangcai City to guard against emptiness, and quietly led the cavalry under his command to touch the dark clouds more than ten miles away from Zhang Shihua's camp.

I have to say that some people really have unlimited potential at certain moments. For example, when he held the heart of death and came north to respond. This guy miraculously bypassed the sentries and night guards laid by Zhang Shihua in the night, and unknowingly took his soldiers to a dense forest only more than ten miles away from Zhang Shihua's camp.

Although such a miracle caused Dark Cloud, a thousand horsemen, to be lost nearly 300 people before they could fight, at least they were not discovered.

Of course, these things will not be mentioned for the time being, just at this time. Just when the dark clouds were restless, extremely anxiously waiting for the news of the scouts, the few capable scouts he sent out finally brought some useful information.

"General...... General, the investigation is clear, the shouting and killing just now, according to the villain's observation, is...... It was sent out by the Shangcai defenders when they broke through at night, and now that the war is over, those Nanyang red turban thieves have also occupied Shangcai City. ”

"The shouting and killing sound from the breakthrough, has His Royal Highness the King of Wei successfully broken through?" After hearing the scout's words, the dark clouds naturally subconsciously asked the scout the question he was most concerned about.

But this guy didn't want to think about it, this scout he sent out, he didn't even dare to approach the battlefield, where could he know such a problem. Therefore, after hearing such a question as the dark clouds, the scout could only shake his head and say, "The villain doesn't know." ”

Seeing this, the dark clouds could only sigh and wave their hands to let the scout retreat.

"General, do you think we should go to Shangcai City to answer now?" Just as the scout retreated, Wuyun's confidant lieutenant couldn't help but ask at Wuyun like this.

And hearing such brainless words, the dark cloud, who was already in a bad mood, couldn't help but slap it, and pointed at the face of the deputy general and scolded: "You idiot, didn't you hear that the red turban thief has taken Shangcai City." At this time, I still go to answer and look for death! ”

"General, what should we do then, or shall we go back?" After being slapped in the mouth, the deputy general couldn't help but say such a brainless sentence again.

"Smack!" As soon as the lieutenant's words fell, there was another crisp sound. Needless to say, this thing has been hit in the mouth again.

"Idiot, labor and management have received military orders, and they have not done anything, and they will go back and wait for military justice! Besides, at this time, they have already withdrawn, go back, go back to find death! ”

"My lord, what should we do?" The deputy general, who had been slapped twice in the mouth and his face was swollen, couldn't help but ask Wuyun with a sad face.

When Wuyun heard this, he didn't slap his lieutenant's mouth, but said after a moment of slight silence: "Let's run to the northeast first, that is the route for us to withdraw our troops, and there are few red turban thieves, let's save our lives first, and the rest is easy to say." ”

After saying this, the dark cloud also waved his hand to let the idiot lieutenant give the order. "Hey, Buddha bless me with dark clouds." After his subordinates went down, Wuyun looked up at the bright starry sky, and he couldn't help but think of it in his heart.
