The fifty-first episode Xue Rengui intercepted and killed Xiahou
It turned out that Wei Rui just made a circle ten miles away, bypassing the slope controlled by Cao Jun, and then ran to the main road again, not heading towards Lantian at all.
Xiahou Yuan watched the enemies converge, and he was also a little at a loss.
Hao Zhao came over from the side at this time and said to Xiahou Yuan: "General, since the enemy forces have converged, our army might as well withdraw its troops!" ”
Xiahou Yuan asked, "Why did you withdraw your troops?" ”
Hao Zhao said: "The enemy army does not have many horses, and there is a large amount of food, so it can be stationed on the spot. Our army has more than 30,000 war horses, and consumes a lot of grain and grass every day. Because the enemy army was in front, it was impossible to graze and mow the grass, and there was no horse grass available for three or five days. ”
"It's just that if I withdraw the army here, I am unwilling!" Xiahou Yuan said hatefully.
Hao Zhao said: "General, Gao Changgong led 3,000 people here, and Lantian must have less than 2,000. The general could gallop to Lantian and cut off its grain routes, forcing Zhang Yi to transport grain from Hanzhong. ”
After hearing this, Xiahou Yuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded: "Pull out the camp, we will attack Lantian." ”
Xiahou Yuan retreated to Chang'an with a large army, and after walking more than ten miles, he immediately rushed to Lantian. Xiahou Yuan is known as the Shenxing General, and this method of combat is his favorite.
Xiahou Yuan didn't think about concealing his whereabouts at all, he was very sure that his march speed was the fastest. Setting out in the morning, he arrived outside Lantian City before evening, and then immediately attacked with his army.
Wei Rui, Zhuge Liang, and Gao Changgong immediately laughed when they heard the scout say that Xiahou Yuan had gone to Lantian.
"Xiahou Yuan has the courage and no strategy, and he has already been tricked." Gao Changgong said: "He would never have thought that Lantian was a trap designed for him. ”
Zhuge Liang said: "I don't think Xiahou Yuan can get along with the strategy of attacking Lantian. ”
Wei Rui said with a smile: "Xiahou Yuan really can't think of it. You must know that when the deduction was made at that time, this trick was used by Kong Ming, Xiahou Yuan's fiery temper could not be used in such a conservative offensive method, with his temper, he would have led the army to attack us a long time ago. ”
Gao Changgong looked at the two curiously, he knew that this strategy was designed by the two of them, but he didn't know the design process.
"There must be talented people in Xiahou Yuan's army, and they are very similar to Kong Ming's thoughts." Wei Rui said.
"According to the lord, this is conservative thinking, and you must ensure that you are invincible." Zhuge Liang said: "The Lantian grain road is the most critical, and only conservative people will want to take it back now, if Pang Shiyuan was here, he would have sent people to attack Shangxian and even Wuguan a long time ago." ”
"That's true."
Gao Changgong couldn't understand what they said, and he didn't have time to play hide and seek with them here, "Two, I'm going to chase Xiahou Yuan." ”
"General Gao, go slowly!"
The two sent Gao Changgong away, and then looked at each other and smiled, it is enough to have a confidant in life!
Gao Changgong followed Xiahou Yuan to Lantian and watched Xiahou Yuan attack the city without making any moves, but hiding in it.
At the head of Lantian City, Wei Yan commanded his soldiers to easily repel Xiahou Yuan's offensive. He had arrived in Lantian three days earlier, and this was part of the plan.
Xiahou Yuan attacked for an hour and didn't capture Lantian, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. The next morning, he wanted to continue the siege.
But at this time, the scouts came to report that they had found the enemy cavalry ten miles away.
Xiahou Yuan only realized at this time that this might be a trap for the enemy, "Pull out the camp, let's retreat!" ”
However, after a cup of tea, a scout came to report: "The enemy army is five miles away!" ”
When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he immediately shouted: "Give up the supplies, let's evacuate lightly!" ”
As soon as Xiahou Yuan's side gave the order, the city gate of Lantian was opened, and Wei Yan took the remaining 1,000 cavalry out of the city and rushed directly into Xiahou Yuan's camp. Xiahou Yuan's camp was retreating, and it was directly disrupted by Wei Yan.
"Follow me and stop the enemy!" Hao Zhao rushed over with his headquarters to meet Wei Yan.
With Hao Zhao's blocking, Xiahou Yuan had time to gather his army and withdraw outward. Although it is a bit unkind to leave Hao Zhao behind, Xiahou Yuan is responsible for the entire Guanzhong, so he can only sacrifice Hao Zhao.
But before he walked out, he ran into a cavalry head-on, and a general at the head was majestic. Branding a huge Xue Zi flag, it is Xue Rengui.
Xue Rengui had been hiding in Juxian County with the newly formed 20,000 cavalry. Juxian County is the location of the Qin and Han Shanglin Yuan, and was once the garrison of the Yulin Army. However, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was moved to Luoyang due to war and Kyoto, and it was abandoned.
However, there are still roads from the Shanglinyuan period, and there are roads leading to Lantian during the Shanglinyuan period, and part of Lantian County was once the scope of Shanglinyuan.
Wei Rui informed Xue Rengui of the news of Xiahou Yuan's trip to Lantian as early as yesterday, and Xue Rengui immediately marched to Lantian and met Gao Changgong halfway, Xue Rengui divided the cavalry 10,000 to him for command, and then the two of them were stationed twenty miles away.
The next morning, Xue Rengui led the cavalry to approach Xiahou Yuan, wanting to hit Xiahou Yuan by surprise. As a result, he didn't expect Xiahou Yuan to get up quite early, and he escaped from the camp before he arrived.
But Xue Rengui still didn't change his idea of attacking, and directly rushed over with the cavalry. His subordinates are either Qiang or very elite foot soldiers, and after a few months of achievement, they are already very elite.
When the two armies gathered fifty paces, Xue Rengui shouted: "Kill!" ”
The two armies began to charge with all their might, colliding fiercely into each other. Xue Rengui picked out two enemy soldiers in a row and killed Xiahou Yuan directly.
Xiahou Yuan saw that he could not get rid of the enemy army, so he could only command his soldiers to fight with Xue Rengui. When he saw Xue Rengui rushing towards him, he immediately led people to rush over, as long as Xue Rengui was killed, the enemy army would retreat.
The two main generals both have such thoughts, and neither of them is cowardly, they are right.
"Kill!" Xiahou Yuan shouted and rushed towards Xue Rengui.
"Kill!" Xue Rengui also hedged with a gun.
Xue Rengui's horse was a sweaty BMW seized from Dunhuang, and it was the world's first-class BMW, and at ten steps, Xue Rengui suddenly clamped the horse's belly, and the sweaty BMW suddenly accelerated, and rushed directly to Xiahou Yuan's body.
Xiahou Yuan didn't expect Xue Rengui's horse to be able to accelerate, so he was stunned, Xue Rengui's gun had already pierced his eyes, and he didn't react at all.
The sweaty BMW rushed past him, Xue Rengui's spear also pierced through his body, and Xiahou Yuan's body flew up with it, falling to the ground along with Xue Rengui's broken spear.
"Xiahou Yuan is dead! You still don't surrender? ”
