Chapter 22: The Three Cities of Lianke

Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now it is stepping forward from the beginning.

The red sun is in the sky, the time is still early, and the time has not yet passed. Dong Zhuo led Li Ru and Wei Qi to ascend the city tower in Meiyang County. Overlooking the rolling mountains under the bright spring sun, overlooking the battlefield where the smoke of gunfire has not dispersed. The mountains are like the sea, and the sun is like blood.

Hua Xiong, Xu Rong and others are leading troops to search for the remnants of the enemy troops in the city.

The people of the city had long been hiding, for fear of flying into trouble and being implicated and killed. In this era of war, the lives of ordinary people are as fragile as mayflies.

"You take a few people, go and get Hua Xiong and Xu Rong and Xu Huang back!"

Seeing that the situation in the city gradually settled down, Dong Zhuo looked back and instructed a personal soldier behind him.

"喏~"

The chief of the soldiers replied, and then took a few men and went away.

"Wen Zheng, you go to appease the people in the city later, don't cause panic."

"Subordinates obey!"

"Bo Ji, you immediately write a battle report on my behalf and pass it on to General Huangfu Song. Let's just say that our army has captured Meiyang City, and let him directly lead the army to Meiyang to join us. ”

"Under the command!"

…………

"Lord~"

"My lord! If it weren't for the last general's war horse with the stirrup this time, the last general's life would have been handed over to the Beigong Boyu. ”

Before you see him, you hear his voice first.

From a long distance, Dong Zhuo saw Hua Xiong's big man riding a tall horse, roaring and galloping.

"Lord~" Hua Xiong ran over excitedly, and the deafening voice roared, "Most of the city has been controlled by us, and only the north city still has more than a thousand people who are still surviving!" ”

Compared with Hua Xiong, Xu Rong and Xu Huang were much more gentle, and they only saluted Dong Zhuo and said, "Lord!" Then he stood aside.

"Congratulations! In less than half an hour, our army captured a city and killed 5,000 enemies. Li Ru waited for Dong Zhuo and Huaxiong Xu Rong to see each other, and congratulated the two.

"General Hua is even more brave, killing the thief leader Beigong Boyu is really a great achievement! Congratulations to General Hua below. ”

"The military advisor is polite." Hua Xiong hugged his fists and bowed to Li Ru for a week.

"Okay, it's not too early yet, it's still early, and it's still early to celebrate." Dong Zhuo interrupted everyone's compliments.

Seeing this, everyone quickly stopped greeting and stood aside, waiting for Dong Zhuo's dispatch.

Dong Zhuo looked at Xu Rong and Xu Huang, and ordered: "Gongsheng, Gongming,

To the south of Meiyang, sixty miles away is Wugong County. According to the scouts, there were 3,000 defenders in the city.

Order the two of you to immediately lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to attack the martial arts. Before sunset, martial arts must be captured.

After the city was broken, Liugong Sheng led his troops and horses to defend the city and pacify the people. After repairing overnight, the Komeito office immediately returned. ”

"The last general commands~"

"The last general commands~"

Xu Rong and Xu Huang hugged their fists to lead their lives.

Dong Zhuo ordered Huaxiong again: "Xuanba, Yixian County is located more than 100 miles west of Meiyang, and there are about 2,000 defenders in the city. Your galley battalion is all cavalry, coming and going like the wind. I order you to lead your troops and horses to set off immediately and take Yixian before sunset. ”

When Hua Xiong heard that there was another battle, he was very excited, and shouted happily: "The last general will take the order!" The heart of the lord is square, and the last general will lead a thousand soldiers and horses, and he can break the city in half an hour. ”

As soon as Dong Zhuo heard that this arrogant brute was so praised, he immediately said with a serious face: "Xuanba must not be careless. There are accidents in everything, and don't capsize in the gutter. ”

"Yes, yes...... The general will be careful, he will be careful. Please rest assured! Seeing that Dong Zhuo was so serious, Hua Xiong hurriedly put a smile on his face and agreed.

"My lord, General Hua's Swift Wind Battalion is all cavalry, and you let General Hua lead the cavalry to attack the city, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate.

In case the enemy army held the city tightly and did not fight, General Hua was afraid that he would be helpless. ”

At this time, the chief bookkeeper Wei Qi opened his mouth and raised a very important question.

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Oh, yes! I have never heard of a cavalry siege, it is unprecedented.

Dong Zhuo's face was a little ugly, and the so-called wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts.

Before, I just thought that Huaxiong's subordinates were all cavalry, and they were fast, and they could reach Yixian in a short time. But I forgot the question of how to attack the city with cavalry when the enemy army could not hold it.

"The lord doesn't have to worry, there is a plan in the downside, which can help General Hua capture the city." Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo was so troubled, and immediately spoke.

Dong Zhuo heard Li Ru's words, turned his head to look at Li Ru and said, "That is the case, Wenzheng, you will go to Yixian with Xuanba and help him capture Yixian."

After capturing Yixian, he led the army to garrison on the spot to pacify the people in the city. A certain family will then lead a large army to Yixian. ”

"Under the command." Li Ru hurriedly responded.

After thinking about it, Dong Zhuo ordered again, "By the way, a certain general order: order all soldiers not to disturb the people, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" ”

"We will strictly obey the order~" Seeing Dong Zhuo so serious, everyone hurriedly bowed and responded.

"Let's all go."

"喏~"

…………

Three hours later, Wugong County was in sight.

"Gongming, there are 3,000 defenders in Wugong City, and our army only has 6,000 soldiers and horses. Although the strong attack is possible, the loss is too great, and it is better to outwit. I don't know what the best way to do it? ”

Looking at the martial arts city rising on the horizon, Xu Rong couldn't help but sigh and asked Xu Huangdao.

When Xu Huang heard this, he said without thinking: "The art of war cloud, ten will surround it, five will attack it, and multiple will divide it." We have twice as many troops as the enemy, and we should divide the enemy's forces. ”

"That being the case, I led my troops and horses to call for battle at the north gate of Wugong City to lure the enemy out. Then, Gongming led your troops and horses to attack the city from the east gate and occupy Wugong in one fell swoop. Xu Rong directly proposed a combat plan.

When Xu Huang heard this, he looked up to the sky and smiled, and said, "Hahaha! Brother Gongsheng and the younger brother coincide! ”

After the two agreed on the siege time, they each led their headquarters to act.

Xu Rong led the 3,000 troops of his headquarters and slowly came to the east gate, and lined up beyond the range of the defenders' bows and arrows on the city tower. picked a few loud soldiers and ruffians, and ordered them to shout and curse at the defenders of the city.

The guard in the city was a tall Qiang man, and when he heard the Han army under the city, he was angry, and immediately led two thousand troops out of the city to fight. However, in only one round, he was stabbed to death by Xu Rong under the horse.

At the same time, Xu Huang, who was ambushed at the east gate, took the opportunity to take Wugong City.

…………

Yi County, East Gate.

Li Ru and Hua Xiong crossed the suspension bridge and entered the city gate of Yixian County, followed by three thousand iron horsemen.

Previously, Li Ru sent several scouts who were familiar with the Qiang people in Xiliang's hometown, and ordered them to pretend to be Beigong Boyu's subordinates, and rush to Yixian County to give orders in the name of Beigong Boyu.

Claiming that Meiyang was surrounded by 30,000 Han troops, Beigong Boyu was trapped in the city, and summoned Yixian and Wugong defenders to come to the rescue.

When the county guard saw the scout who came to the order, he had a Qiang Huyin and did not suspect him. Left more than 100 people to defend the city, and he led the rest of the men and horses to Meiyang to support. Halfway through, Huaxiong was ambushed, and 2,000 rebels were killed and wounded.

Then Hua Xiong and Li Ru swept their troops at great speed and occupied Yixian without much effort before sunset.
