Chapter 152: The Battle of Wancheng (4)

"Second brother, what's wrong with your beard?" Zhang Fei has always been very arrogant, and when he saw his second brother Guan Yu, he didn't rush to see the order of the eldest brother Liu Bei, and was curious about the new image of the second brother. It's just that Zhang Fei didn't know that his unintentional question poked Guan Yu's sore spot.

And Guan Yu knows a lot about the temperament of the third brother, and knows that he doesn't want to sarcastically ask this. But the more this is the case, the more Guan Yu has nowhere to go, so he can only say casually: "It's too long to get in the way." Yide, hurry up and take a look at the eldest brother's order. ”

"Oh." Zhang Fei replied and didn't ask Guan Yu about the beard again, but after he finished reading the order, his brows couldn't help frowning. It's not that he doesn't want to go to Wancheng to help his brother, but before Guan Yu came to Jiangling, he had already assigned the task to the generals, and now the generals are acting separately, and when he leaves at this time, it is difficult to guarantee that the second brother who took over will not deny the countermeasures he discussed with the generals at the beginning.

Zhang Fei has no opinion on Guan Yu, the second brother, but this does not mean that he is willing to be denied his efforts. Seeing that Zhang Fei frowned and didn't speak, Guan Yu couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Third brother, what's wrong?" Are you worried about Gangneung? ”

"The second brother misunderstood." Hearing this, Zhang Fei hurriedly explained: "The second brother's ability is far above the younger brother, and the second brother will take over the defense of Jiangling, and the younger brother has no opinion. It's just that the second brother doesn't know, long before you arrived in Jiangling, our army found out that there were Han army scouts in Wuxian County, so the younger brother made some deployments......"

Hearing Zhang Fei's words, Guan Yu knew in his heart, and immediately assured: "Third brother, don't worry, second brother promises not to change your previous deployment as much as possible." ”

When Zhang Fei heard Guan Yu's words, he knew that his previous arrangement was useless. Although the generals were not subject to the military orders outside, but for the sake of this trivial matter, it was really a bit of a fuss, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said to Guan Yu: "Second brother, follow me into the city first, and the younger brother will order someone to gather the generals and explain that they will obey you in the future." ”

After a handover, Zhang Fei rushed to Wancheng with 5,000 men and horses, and all the affairs of Jiangling were now handed over to Guan Yu. And Guan Yu also kept his promise after Zhang Fei left, and did not point fingers at Zhang Fei's previous arrangement, but only changed the tasks of a small number of people.

Mi Zhu was left in Jiangling by Guan Yu and was in charge of Jiangling's logistics support, which is not difficult for Mi Zhu, or it is handy for Mi Zhu, who was born in a big business. Compared with Ma Yan, who is ignorant and always wants to behave, Mi Zhu, who guards himself, is more popular with Guan Yu.

Guan Yu is very conceited, and he doesn't like people around him to point fingers at him, but at the same time, he does have conceited capital, he has been in the army for many years, and there are countless large and small battles.

After Guan Yu's rearrangement, Jingnan's defense was indeed tighter than Zhang Fei's previous arrangement, but Jingnan also became Guan Yu's hall. In Jingnan at the moment, Guan Yu is the largest, no one can control it, if nothing goes wrong, Guan Yu is naturally proud, but once something goes wrong, it is very likely that Guan Yu will never recover. But no matter what happens in the future, the current Guan Yu will defend Jingnan well.

……

Wancheng

Seeing that his soldiers and horses were defeated again, Liu Bei couldn't sit still and asked Zhuge Liang: "Military Division, this is the ninth time that we have lost the siege, when will the chance of victory you mentioned before appear?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand when he heard this, and the old god replied: "Don't worry, the lord is not in a hurry, Wancheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if you want to rely on external forces to break through the huge losses, the only way to outwit is the best policy." ”

"Will the plan be released?" Liu Bei couldn't wait to snatch the eye-catching goose feather fan and throw it on the ground and kick it a few times, but he had a request for someone right now, so he could only ask patiently.

"If Liang is good, there should be a good chance to break the city tonight." Zhuge Liang replied with a determined look.

At the same time, the people in the Wancheng County Guard's Mansion were arguing, and the matter of dispute was whether the defenders in the city were going to go out of the city to fight at this time. Defending the city can't be blindly defended, the reason why Hao Zhao has some scruples is that he is worried that going out of the city at this time will fall into Liu Beijun's calculations. As for Hao Zhao's worries, Li Ru also understood, but he had the Tianyan Intelligence Organization, but he was more supportive of Wei Yan's opinions at this time.

Liu Beijun's Guan Yu is no longer outside Wancheng, at this time besieging Wancheng on three sides of the west of the Guan Yu Department is likely to be just Zhuge Liang's old cloth suspicious array, before Liu Beijun's several sieges, Guan Yu under the banner of Guan Yu is just thunder and rain, there is no attack on the west of Wancheng at all, if you go out of the city at this time to defeat the Guan Yu Department in the west of the city, it will have a great effect on boosting the morale of the army in the city.

Li Ru knew that Guan Yu was not outside the city now, and Zhang Fei, who replaced Guan Yu here, was still on his way. At this time, if you don't take advantage of the opportunity that there are no fierce generals in Liu Bei's army, when Zhang Fei arrives, it will be difficult for Wei Yan to make achievements.

Hao Zhao and Li Ru are both aware of their identities in Wancheng at this time, and no one wants to tear their faces for this matter and make an unpleasant fuss, and what Li Ru said is indeed reasonable, Hao Zhao finally chose to agree, but at the same time, he was also worried that this was a flaw deliberately exposed by Liu Beijun outside the city, so while agreeing to Wei Yan to lead the troops out of the city, he and Gao Shun also went to the east and south of the city respectively to prevent accidents. As for the west of the city, it was naturally handed over to Li Ru to be responsible, and Hu Che'er accompanied him to protect Li Ru's safety, Hao Zhao was not very worried.

Night fell, and until the second watch, Wei Yan, who was ready to go, led 3,000 elite soldiers to quietly half-open the city gate and leave Wancheng. Not long after Wei Yan left the city, the door of a house in Wancheng also quietly opened, and dozens of black shadows came out and quietly approached the west city gate.

Li Ru, as a supporter of Wei Yan's battle, was standing at the head of the city at this time and watching the outside of the city, but the night shrouded people's eyes were limited, and Li Ru saw nothing except black. As for whether Wei Yan's trip can be successful, Li Ru is full of confidence. The soldiers and horses did not move, the grain and grass went first, and with accurate and timely information in hand, Li Ru did not believe that he would miscalculate, and Wei Yan's trip would definitely be successful.

"Strategist, take a rest, Liu Beijun outside the city is far away from us, even if there is any movement, we can't hear it here." Hu Che'er stepped forward and persuaded softly.

Listening to Hu Che'er's words, Li Ru couldn't help but smile lightly, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll be lazy and work hard General Hu." ”

"Whatever the military advisor says, the military advisor is a literati and naturally has to work hard, and my old Hu is a rough man, so he should naturally work. Don't worry, when General Wei returns victorious, I will wake up the military advisor. Hu Che'er said with a smile.

Li Ru smiled when he heard this, and he was no longer polite, he didn't go down to the city, but just took a break in the small tent that people built in the corner of the city. Hu Che'er replaced Li Ru to inspect the city, beware of Liu Beijun attacking the city at night.

Nearly an hour passed unconsciously, and Hu Che'er suddenly saw a group of figures running towards this side outside the city, and hurriedly shouted a warning, beckoning the defenders of the city to wake up and prepare for battle.

"General Hu, what's wrong?" Li Ru, who was woken up, rubbed his eyes and got out of the small tent and asked Hu Che'er.

"Military advisor, there are a group of people from outside the city, it seems that they are soldiers who went out of the city with Wei Wenchang before." Hu Che'er's expression was a little ugly, and he whispered to Li Ru.

"What?" Li Ru was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly walked to the battlements to look down, under the imprint of the torches, those soldiers had crooked armor and bloodstains, as if they had just broken through.

"Who are you?" Li Ru asked out loud.

"Military division, we are subordinates of General Wei, tonight the second watch went out of the city with the general to attack the camp, I don't want to be ambushed, now General Wei is still holding on, and I also ask the military division to send reinforcements quickly." The people in the city who looked like a small school shouted to Li Ru.

"Strategist, I'll go." When Hu Che'er heard this, he immediately asked for his life.

"Don't be busy, beware of deception." Li Ru shook his head slightly to stop. Stopping Hu Che'er, Li Ru asked Chengxia again: "You and others claim to be General Wei's subordinates, what proof do you have?" ”

"There is a belt card with us as proof." Hearing this, the small school under the city hurriedly replied.

After inspecting the waist card that the colonel put into the hanging basket, Li Ru nodded slightly, it was indeed the waist card of the Han Army, engraved with the name of this person on one side and the name and place of origin of this person on the other.

"General Hu, please also lead the troops out of the city and go to pick up General Wei back to the city." Li Ru didn't care about thinking about why Wei Yan was ambushed now, and opened his mouth to order Hu Che'er. If you have any questions, Da Kai will wait for Wei Yan to come back and ask in detail, if he loses a soldier because of the delay in the rescue, it will be more than worth the loss.

Hu Che'er agreed, and immediately went down to the city to order 3,000 men and horses to prepare to leave the city, and Li Ru also ordered someone to quickly inform Hao Zhao and Gao Shun of this matter, and asked him to be vigilant.

The city gate slowly opened, Hu Che'er rushed out of the city gate first, and saw that there were defeated soldiers waiting near the city gate, Hu Che'er stopped and asked, "Do you still have the strength to lead the way for me?" ”

"General, we can still fight." The junior colonel who had previously answered Li Ru immediately replied.

"Okay, what's your name?" Hu Che'er praised it, thinking in his heart that after this battle, he would definitely promote the small school in front of him.

"There is General Lao who asked, the villain's surname is Liu, and the single name is sealed."

"Liu Feng? Why does this name sound familiar? Hu Che'er was wondering when he heard this, and suddenly heard a burst of urgent shouts from the city, "Be careful!" Come on! There are assassins! ”

Hu Che'er was shocked, and subconsciously raised his head to look at the city, and at this moment, Hu Che'er suddenly had an alarm, and dodged a shot stabbed by his side side, followed by Liu Feng, who had a respectful attitude before, at this time, his eyebrows were angry, and he was about to attack himself again.

"Who are you?" Hu Che'er asked angrily while dodging Liu Feng's attack.

Liu Feng smiled when he heard this: "What a stupid person, I haven't guessed who your grandfather is until this time?" ”

"The shaft is so daring!" Hu Che'er was furious, and immediately swung his knife at Liu Feng, and Liu Feng raised his gun to meet him. The head of the city was in a mess, and the city gate was also in a mess, Li Ru at the head of the city was assassinated, and when he was about to see Hu Che'er leave, someone suddenly came out of the shadows and went straight to Li Ru. Although Li Ru has also practiced swordsmanship for a while, he usually exercises and exercises his body for a few moments, and if he really wants to fight on the battlefield, it is not much different from looking for death.

Li Ru was well aware of his martial arts, so when the assassin appeared, he did not hesitate, but quickly dodged. But he didn't want the assassin to act extremely fast, and almost in the blink of an eye, he had rushed in front of Li Ru. Li Ru had no choice but to sacrifice his life, but what he didn't expect was that the sword that stabbed out actually reached the assassin's hand in the blink of an eye, and stabbed into his chest instead.

The Assassin did not linger at the scene after the first blow, and in the face of the Han soldiers rushing towards him, the Assassin did not like to fight, relying on his swiftness, quickly left the battlefield, and disappeared into the night.

With the assassination of Li Ru, Hu Che'er was entangled by Liu Feng, and the west of the city was leaderless for a while, but fortunately, when the Han army was training in peacetime, there was a quick response to how the rest of the army should respond after the assassination of the main general. After a short period of chaos, the west of the city gradually returned to calm, stabilized its position under the command of the deputy general, and squeezed Liu Beijun, who occupied the city gate, out of the city little by little.

Seeing that the city gate that was deceived was possible to be recaptured by the Han army, Liu Feng couldn't help but be anxious, and at this moment, a black shadow quickly approached Hu Che'er, although Hu Che'er didn't know that the person who came was the person who had just assassinated Li Ru, but out of the consciousness of the martial artist, Hu Che'er knew that this person was not good.

The three thousand soldiers who went out of the city with Hu Che'er had not left the city before because Hu Che'er stopped talking to Liu Feng, and most of them had not left the city yet, and at the same time that Liu Feng started to entangle Hu Che'er, the two hundred people who came to the city with Liu Feng also took the opportunity to separate Hu Che'er from his subordinates, and the narrow city gate hole was crowded with people, limited by the terrain, although the number of Han troops under the city was more than ten times that of Liu Beijun, but only the dozens of people in the city gate cave really fought with Liu Beijun, and the two hundred people under Liu Feng also relied on this geographical advantage to make the city gate unable to close.

The addition of the man in black made Hu Che'er suddenly feel more pressured, and Liu Feng also deliberately made Hu Che'er distracted at this time, pointing in the direction of the south of the city and smiling: "Hu Che'er, my army has arrived, I think it's better for you to get off the horse and surrender as soon as possible." ”

Hu Che'er subconsciously peeked to the south, and sure enough, as Liu Feng said, a large group of people and horses were rushing towards him, and he couldn't help but panic, and the black-clothed man who was fighting with Hu Che'er immediately took the opportunity to stab Hu Che'er in the right shoulder when he saw this. Hu Che'er was in pain, and he couldn't hold the knife in his hand, so Liu Feng took the opportunity to replenish the gun and stabbed Hu Che'er in the ribs.

To say that this Liu Feng is also a brave man, he couldn't help but be overjoyed after a successful blow, and even took advantage of the situation to pick Hu Che'er off the horse, and the colonel who was waiting for him stepped forward to tie up the seriously injured Hu Che'er rope.

"Deng Zhan, you have a great merit in assassinating Li Ru, let me have this little merit in capturing Hu Che'er." Liu Feng said to the man in black with a smile.

The man in black, known as Deng Zhan, did not answer, just nodded slightly, and then left alone. Seeing this, Liu Feng shook his head and said, "It's really a piece of wood, so people can't find a chance to make friends with him." After saying this, Liu Feng once again raised his gun and rushed into the city gate hole, seeing that reinforcements were coming, at this time, if the Han army closed the city gate, he would have to regret hitting the wall and die.

"The public is lying, and he is also favored." Xiang Pet, who led the reinforcements to arrive, shouted to the pet and led people to rush into the city gate cave first. But when Xiang Pet entered it, he immediately regretted it, this city gate hole was really narrow, and he couldn't open it at all. The soldiers of the Han army did not retreat from the battle, holding swords and guns to greet them as if they were dead, and there was no need to worry about falling short here, they would always hit something, and the same was true of Liu Beijun's situation.

"Huge violation, why did you come in too?" Liu Feng saw Xiang Pet coming over, and couldn't help but ask in wonder.

"I'm not worried about you."

"I thank you for your concern, now that we're both trapped here, what do you say?" Liu Feng asked angrily.

"I'll quit and organize the cavalry to break through the Han army's blockade, but before that, you may have to hold on a little longer." Xiang Pet thought about it and said to Liu Feng.

Liu Feng knew what Xiang Zhong wanted to do, he planned to use the impact of the cavalry to directly disperse the Han army's formation, but before his cavalry attacked, the number of people he left in the city gate cave must be reduced by half, otherwise it would directly affect the charge of his own cavalry.

"Then you'd better hurry, I won't be able to hold out for long." Liu Feng shouted at the pet.

"Don't worry, I promise I won't let you die in vain."

"Grandma, Lao Tzu is not dead yet, you want to go to the grave and wait for Lao Tzu to die." Liu Feng said angrily when he heard this.

Xiang Zhong did not have a verbal dispute with Liu Feng, squeezed through the crowd and retreated outside the city, selected three hundred cavalry among the generals, and retreated to a distance of nearly 100 meters outside the city, and then personally led the team to attack the city gate. At the same time, Liu Feng was about to be forced out of the city gate by the Han army.

The cavalry led by Xiang Pet rushed over when Liu Feng was about to hang up, but saving Liu Feng did not mean that the city gate would be broken, the city gate was crowded with people, and it was difficult to even turn around, although the cavalry had a strong impact, it was not a tank after all, even if it was a tank, if it really encountered an insurmountable obstacle, it could only be bypassed.

The narrow city gate cave frustrated Xiang Pet's idea, not only did he not take the opportunity to seize the city gate, but because of Liu Feng's previous evacuation, the city gate hole was occupied by the Han army. The only thing that made Liu Feng feel that there was still hope was that the Han army couldn't close the city gate for a while.

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Inside and outside the city gate hole in the west of Wancheng, it is crowded with people at this time, the city is the Han army, and the outside of the city is Liu Beijun, no matter which side, there is no way to open the stalemate in front of them, although Liu Feng and Xiang Pet have the heart to break the city, but they are powerless, and they can't think of a good plan, and the Han army has lost the two leaders of Li Ru and Hu Che'er, and the dragons can only temporarily protect the city gate without a leader, but they can't fight back forcefully.

And this situation lasted until Hao Zhao led people to come and get better. Liu Feng originally planned to personally lead people to attack the city gate cave again, but fortunately he called Xiang Pet to stop him. It was also Xiang Pet's stop that made Liu Feng escape by luck.

The Han army that was originally guarding the city gate cave was retreating in an orderly manner, Liu Feng immediately ordered someone to follow, but it was the crossbowmen who had been waiting for the city gate cave to greet these Liu Beijun, and the arrows were like flying locusts when they gave an order, and as the Han army crossbowmen moved forward step by step, no one dared to show up at this time, and the west gate of Wancheng, which had been opened for a long time, was finally slowly closed.
