Liu Xuewu casually gave Jizhou to his second brother Liu Mao, recalled Zhang Liao's army to Bingzhou to rest and preside over the merger for himself, and he personally led 20,000 newly trained Iron Leopard Army to rescue Hanyang. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Dunhuang county leads six counties: Dunhuang, Ming'an, Xiaogu, Yuanquan, Guangzhi, Longle.

On the other hand, Xiao Liu Zhang fought smoothly, and within a month, he connected the three county towns of Yuanquan, Guangzhi and Longle in Dunhuang County, Xiliang, and is now attacking Xiaogu. Xiaogu is known for its topography like a hill surrounding the valley, and the county seat of Xiaogu is built by relying on the edge of the surrounding small hills, small but solid.

If Liu Xuewu came here and saw Xiaogu County, he would definitely open his mouth and scold, isn't this a Middle Eastern-style castle? It turned out that this place used to be the capital of a small country in the Western Regions, and later Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened up the Western Regions, and this small country was defeated and fled to the Middle East, but the castle it built is still there, and it is also used as the county seat of the valley.

Most of Xiao Liu Zhang's army was infantry, and it was not down for several months from the last attack on Hanzhong, and the general under his command Gan Ning strengthened the siege training of the troops afterwards. Properly proficient carpentry troops, although it is the first time to attack such a strange city, but presumably

The methods of attacking all cities are similar, so his subordinates first surrounded Xiaogu City, and then set up camp in an orderly manner to prepare for the next day's attack.

In the face of the 100,000 army under the city, the defenders of Xiaogu City were trembling, originally Xiaogu City was not an important place, but because of the abundance of mink on the small hills, it attracted Xiao Liu Zhang's attack. At this time, there were only less than 2,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people in the city, and they were basically old soldiers who were preparing to retire and retire, but the guards were also hard

, is Dong Zhuo's uncle Dong crocodile, originally the Dong family was also a strong party, but in the case of successive generations of losers, it gradually declined, and later there was a Empress Dowager Dong, and the Dong family improved. And Dong Crocodile is a former loser, the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong, and Dong Zhuo's distant cousin, only because he caused a lot of trouble to the family several times, so his father was also the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Dong

Sent to Xiliang to serve in the army. Thirty years have passed, and Dong Crocodile, who has been eating and drinking, has finally climbed to the position of a thousand generals. It's a pity that he is too old, so Dong Zhuo arranged for him to go to one side to recuperate and enjoy happiness, he chose Xiaogu, just because he likes the beautiful scenery of Xiaogu Castle, and takes his family to take root here. Now surrounded by Xiao Liu Zhang's 100,000 army, Dong Crocodile sees hope, thinking about his life's inaction,

When he was young and ignorant, he caused many troubles to the Dong family, and now that he is a year old, he has the opportunity to be surrounded by an army of 100,000, he wants to take advantage of this to make a name for himself, not to seek life and death, but to leave a name for eternity.

Perhaps in his opinion, as long as he guards Xiaogu City, he can be regarded as the only contribution he has made to the Dong family in this life.

In fact, no matter how dangerous the terrain is, 2,000 old, weak, sick and disabled against 100,000 well-trained elite soldiers, it feels fantastical to think about it. But Dong Crocodile did it, and did it recklessly.

Dong Crocodile was too familiar with Xiaogu, he knew that there was a Heishui River on the small hill to the west of the city, and the flow of this river was not water, but something that the locals called black oil, which was ignited and ignited, and he meant that he wanted to lead the Heishui River to teach the enemy on the opposite side a lesson.

Early the next morning, Xiao Liu Zhang, with the general Gan Ning, ordered the troops to assemble and prepare to attack the city. At the same time, Dong Crocodile on the hill west of Xiaogu City did order people to dig the Heishui River and the moat overnight, so that the Heishui River could be poured into the moat of the city. Because the castle is a Middle Eastern-style castle, there are two moats in front of the castle, the moat in front is extremely wide and almost seven or eight zhang, and the minimum width of the moat inside is five or six zhang.

Although Xiao Liu Zhang and Gan Ning were very curious about the black river, they only regarded it as something highly poisonous and asked their soldiers to rush over the first moat with a ladder. Seeing that his subordinates had rushed through the first moat without danger, Xiao Liu Zhang hurriedly urged Gan Ning to send people to continue the attack. And Dong Crocodile, who saw this scene in Xiaogu City, laughed.

When half of Xiao Liu Zhang's 100,000 troops crossed the first moat, Dong Crocodile ordered the rocket to be released. Well, the two black oil moats were originally connected to each other, and once they were ignited, there were pieces of fire everywhere, during which fifty or sixty thousand soldiers were trapped in the sea of fire. The inexhaustible black oil was mixed with a highly toxic stench of smoke, and many soldiers were choked and poisoned to death by the smoke instead of being burned to death by the fire.

Of course, as an experienced Dong crocodile, he covered his face with wet towels and watched the enemies on the opposite side die in front of him. Even Dong Crocodile, who was accustomed to seeing battlefield battles, was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he even vomited bitterness, but his heart was at ease and had no regrets about things.

Xiao Liu Zhang, who didn't rush in, looked at the tragic situation in front of him, and was stunned all of a sudden, watching Gan Ning and the fifty or sixty thousand soldiers who had been personally trained by himself bury in the sea of fire, he couldn't do anything, and the tears wet the clothes and armor on his body from tears. Maybe even God couldn't stand it anymore, and the originally clear sky suddenly thundered and thundered, and it began to pour down.

The surviving soldiers looked at the raindrops of beans and were extremely happy, thinking that they were saved, but the heavy rain brought nothing more than accelerating the poisonous smoke coming out, and could not extinguish the burning fire. Coupled with the direction of the wind, Xiao Liu Zhang's 100,000 army was indeed only 20,000 or 30,000 alive when it escaped to safety. More than half of them choked on poisonous smoke and became poisoned.

Of course, Xiao Liu Zhang was forcibly pulled away by the guards and was not affected by the poisonous smoke, but a generation of famous generals Gan Ning accidentally died in the sea of fire, and the souls of more than 60,000 heroic soldiers returned to the west together.

The name of Dong Crocodile's poisonous father became famous all over the world, burning 100,000 Yizhou troops, forcing the originally imposing little Liu Zhang to retreat to Hanzhong overnight, and the general Gan Ning was killed in battle. Most of the princes in the world were ready to move when they heard this, which made the world even more chaotic.

As for what is black oil? Presumably everyone has almost guessed that jet black can ignite fire, flammable, and water cannot extinguish it, which is nothing more than open-pit oil.

The defeat of Xiao Liu Zhang's 100,000 army, Liu Xuewu couldn't help but sigh when he heard it, and said: "This kid is still too young, it's a pity that the 100,000 soldiers and Gan Ning." ”

When Liu Yan learned of the defeat, he didn't think so, so he should give his youngest son a little sharpening and hit his arrogant heart, which is also a good thing. However, he was also afraid that his youngest son would fall from now on, so he arranged a family affair for Xiao Liu Zhang to find him a wife to comfort his wounded heart.

Dong Zhuo, who was far away in Chang'an, was overjoyed when he learned the news of the battle, and ordered a feast for three days to have fun with the generals and ministers. And ordered his uncle, who had met several times when he was a child, to be the county of Dunhuang Taishou Xiaogu, and gave him a thousand taels of gold and ten beauties. and sent people to urge Lu Bu and Li Ru to settle the war as soon as possible, so that the soldiers could rest and recuperate

Prepare for a counterattack on the Central Plains.

The plan is beautiful, the war is brutal. At this moment, Lu Bu and Li Ru are very headaches. Recently, after Liu Xuewu came to the aid of Hanyang Wuxian, he brought a lot of heavy weapons made by the state, which made the defense of the city very easy, and at the same time, they suffered heavy losses every time they attacked the city.

What drizzle ballistas and siege ballistae were all used to defend the city, and for the Lu Bu army that attacked head-on, it was nothing more than the same target, which was shot through by the arrows above.

The only consolation now is that Xiao Liu Zhang has been defeated, and they have no worries. But Dong Zhuo's urging made them helpless. The so-called military Li Ruke's strategy is no less, what digging tunnels, fire attack, flooding, ladders, arrow towers, and well fences have been used again, but there is no way to take this Wuxian County, and now there is nothing to do, so what to attack the city, in the face of the drizzling arrows, how many soldiers' lives are not enough to fill it.

And Liu Xuewu in the city was planning a counterattack and wanted to fight a field battle with Lu Bu and others. Because now there are more than 20,000 black iron demon horsemen in Wuxian County who are useless, and before there was no one to resist Lu Bu and could only refuse to defend the city, now he came in person, and Liu Xuewu's confidence for the martial arts he has improved over the years.
