Chapter 107: Please enter the urn, Sima abandons the city

suffered three days of arrow rain in a row, and almost no one dared to go out in the entire Xiapi City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 The soldiers on the upper floor of the castle held up all kinds of improvised shields, including tabletops, bed boards, and some of them had torn down the gates of their homes. Fortunately, Liu An didn't shoot a wave of rockets, otherwise it is estimated that the entire city would have burned.

And this Sima father and son, Sima Yi can be described as an old treacherous and cunning who hid in the most solid city tower and spent these three days safely. And his eldest son Sima Shi was not so lucky, because he couldn't dodge, he was shot in the back by a stray arrow. The wound was not fatal, but he was unconscious due to the toxin attack on the arrowhead. This can be said to be adding insult to the situation in Peicheng, originally Sima Yi was preparing to sit in Xuzhou City, but unexpectedly Cao Shuang's army was defeated, Cao Pi was furious, and Xiahou Nan, the son of Xiahou Chun, was appointed as a temporary governor to command the war in Xuzhou. This shows that Cao Pi does not trust Sima Yi and his son, and in history, Sima and his son waited until Cao Pi died before they began to make their careers, and it is conceivable that Sima and his son are actually dispensable roles in Cao Pi's eyes.

Of course, this also shows the patience of Sima Yi's father and son, so he had no choice but to transfer the defense of Xuzhou City to Xiahou Nan, and he came with 5,000 cronies to defend Xiapi with his two sons. But he was lucky to meet Liu An, and now in the face of Liu An's rogue tactics, even if he Sima Yi has great ability, he can't start.

"Why didn't my father, the governor of Xiahou, send troops to help, did he sit and watch us stay in Xiapi like this and wait for death?" Sima Zhao shouted unwillingly.

"Don't be impatient, it's better to ask for others than for yourself. Now the plan can only be a dangerous move. Sima Yi looked at Sima Shi, who had been lying in a coma on the bed for two days and hadn't woken up, shook his head and said with a sigh.

That night, a cavalry of more than 1,000 people took advantage of the night to go south from the south gate of Xiapei, and the news reached the ears of Liu Yang, Liu An and Zhao Yun. ā€

It turned out that Liu An only fired arrows in the past few days, and did not initiate any siege, just forced Sima Yi's father and son to escape, and then took Xia Pei without a single soldier. It's a pity that in the past few days, Sima Yi has figured out their details. For Liu Yang and Liu An, the two sons of Liu Xuewu, in Sima Yi's eyes, they are nothing more than synonymous with stunned young and ruined sons. Since the other party wants to force himself, it is better to push the boat with the flow and make a plan, and he doesn't mind teaching his son for Liu Xuewu.

Although Liu An is a little insidious, he is a half-grown boy who has just turned sixteen, and his thinking about things is too simple. If Liu Xuewu is here, at least the rockets will be launched in unison, and then take advantage of the situation to attack, and he can take Xia Pei in less than three days. It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, no matter how you say it, they are children who have never seen blood, and it is good to be able to do this.

However, because of this carelessness, it caused an irreparable consequence.

As soon as the sun came out the next day, Liu Yang and Liu An began to gather soldiers and horses to attack the city. Just as Liu An expected, there was no resistance at all, and the army could be said to have driven straight in. But when he walked to the central street of Xia Peicheng and found that no one was seen, Zhao Yun hurriedly shouted and took precautions. Unfortunately, it was too late, and all sorts of arrows were fired from the hidden places on the rooftops, and then the soldiers who had been ambushed in the morning emerged from them. There were shouts of killing everywhere, and Sima Yi set a fire in the four corners of the city, and the billowing smoke raised the atmosphere of the scene to the highest level. Where had Liu Yang and Liu An seen such a scene, they were immediately at a loss, and the soldiers scattered one after another. At this time, only Zhao Yun took five hundred personal soldiers to protect the safety of the two of them, and fought desperately.

After a day and a night of fighting, I waited until I reorganized the people who had escaped, and found that there were less than 40,000 people left in the army of 100,000. Even Liu Yang, Liu An, Zhao Yun and other major generals were all injured, if Liu Xuewu hadn't received the news and rushed to save the battle with the army in advance, he might have been defeated.

When Sima Yi saw that the enemy's reinforcements arrived, he immediately made a decision, set fire to the city, and fled to Xuzhou City with thousands of remnants. After the news came out, although Sima Yi's father and son lost Xiapi, they were still honorable despite defeat. He was rearranged by Xiahou Nan to garrison Pengcheng, and set aside 30,000 horses for him to command. This is undoubtedly a send-off in the snow for Sima Yi and his son, and it rains in time.

But just two days before they were happy, Liu Xuewu's army once again came to the city. This time there were more than 100,000 horses, and it turned out that Liu Xuewu saw that his two sons were disgraced, so he was angry. Merge the two armies and personally command the attack on Pengcheng. If Xiapi is the gateway to Xuzhou, then Pengcheng is the window of Xuzhou. As long as Pengcheng is taken, the remaining Xuzhou will have no support, and it will directly cut off the channels between Xuzhou and the outside world.

30,000 fresh troops, plus 6,000 remnants and the original 8,000 defenders of Pengcheng, can barely be regarded as a small 50,000 horses. However, the merger of the two armies on Liu Xuewu's side added up to 150,000 or 60,000 soldiers. casually swung outside Pengcheng and directly surrounded Pengcheng like an iron bucket, and then Liu Xuewu's next move scared Sima Yi and his son on the city tower enough.

I saw thousands of crossbow beds pushed out of Liu Xuewu's army, and mounted huge arrowheads tied with explosives packs. Liu Xuewu looked at his two grizzled sons with a serious face, and then said with a smile to the four little children standing next to him: "I'll take care of it for you, how to fight this battle, don't learn from your two stupid brothers." Listen to my command to fire the arrows. ā€

As a father and son, the means of attacking the city can be described as exactly the same. Moreover, Liu Xuewu is even more defeated than his son Liu An, thousands of explosives are packed with arrows, and 100,000 rockets are only aimed at the city tower. Without any fancy, the city tower made of loess and wood was directly blown down. Then the banner waved and danced in the wind, "Kill." ā€

The 100,000-strong army advanced in an organized and disciplined manner, and an unstoppable posture directly crushed the opponent. This method was clean and neat, which made Liu Xuewu's sons stunned. And Sima Yi's father and son in the city knew what was going to happen next as early as when they saw the crossbow bed launched. hurriedly ran down the city tower with his cronies, and then the loud noise kept coming, and the scene of the city tower being blown up appeared in front of him. The fire was blazing, and billowing smoke rose into the sky. At this moment, Sima Yi's mind was full of escaping. What resistance, who doesn't want to resist, if you want, I hope you will not be an enemy of Liu Xuewu for the rest of your life.

Mentally devastated, Sima Yi's blood attack heart was no longer conscious at this moment, and he fainted. Seeing Liu Xuewu's army rushing into the city, there was no way, Sima Zhao could only flee from the dark passage of the city lord's mansion with his father Sima Yi on his back.

The tens of thousands of Cao troops who were trapped in the city and abandoned, under the bloody suppression of Liu Xuewu, suffered heavy casualties, and half of them threw away their blades, squatted down and surrendered.

Liu Xuewu smiled, looked at the sky, and said casually with a smile: "Sima Yi is nothing more than that." ā€
