Chapter 312: The Battle of Cangcheng
Cheng Zhijie also admired Yuwen Chengdu a little, did not go up to take his life, shook his head slightly and returned to his military formation. Cheng Zhijie and others did not retreat to the city, but lined up by the moat and waited for the enemy troops to rush through.www.biquge.info
Sima Dekan burst into a roar of anger and ordered the army to rush upward; It is necessary to capture Cheng Zhijie and other lives. As soon as they approached the wall, the city rained down the charging soldiers.
"Drums! Give me a rush, I want to take Cangcheng in one fell swoop. Sima Dekan asked people to rescue Yuwen Chengdu, and at the same time passed the order for the whole army to assault.
Feathered arrows flew down, and the charging army was badly damaged; Some of them rushed over by luck, and they were quickly killed by Cheng Zhijie and others.
The drums of war rumbled, and the 30,000 army filled them up in waves, and they all turned into corpses.
Yuwen Chengdu coughed up two mouthfuls of blood and said: "Sima Dekan, you can stop!" Do you want to fill it in with all your men? ”
Sima Dekan came to his senses at this time, and when he saw the thick corpse lying under the city wall, he shook his spirit; Hurry up and order the troops to be collected.
Cheng Zhijie saw that the enemy was retreating, and did not chase after him, and led people back to Cangcheng. Sima Dekan returned to the barracks to check the losses, and this time alone there were more than 6,000 casualties.
Yuwen Chengdu said to Sima Dekan: "The army of the Great Demon Kingdom is different from others, their soldiers are fierce, well-equipped, and experienced in a hundred battles, we have no chance to retreat!" ”
Sima Dekan sighed and said, "General, will we have a way to survive when we go back?" Li Mi has cut off our way back; We are cut off from food and grass, and there is no way back. ”
Yuwen Chengdu was silently speechless: "Then you are ready for the enemy to rob the camp!" Cheng Zhijie is not the kind of lord who sticks to the city, he will definitely come to rob the camp. ”
Sima Dekan's eyes lit up and said, "Okay! If he dares to come, I will let him walk around without eating! As he spoke, he quickly prepared the soldiers.
That night, an army sneaked out of the city and went straight to Sima Dekan's barracks; They sneaked in and killed the guards at the camp gate; The first general, who was two feet tall, carried a big axe like a wheel, clicked open the gate and broke in first.
"The general is not good, the camp is empty, we have a plan!"
"Retreat!" Lan Tian looked at the plan, yelled, and ran away with people. Sima De, who was ambushed in the camp, had a pale face, why was the enemy discovered before he had completely entered the ambush circle?
Sima Dejiao scolded: "Waste! Then he led the army out and pursued only after him.
Lan Tian Bi didn't engage in the battle and ran backwards, although he was on foot, not at all slower than the cavalry.
Sima Dejiao was in hot pursuit, and when he was about to reach the city, the fleeing enemy suddenly stood still and turned back. Sima Dejiao was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think much about it, and rushed forward.
"Buzz!" The vibration of a bowstring, a rapid sound of "popping", accompanied by a miserable howl. Sima Dejie exclaimed in surprise and strangled the war horse, and just when he was in shock, Liang Shitai, Dongfang Yumei, and Cheng Zhijie had already copied the bread from both sides and back; and the blue sky in front of them surrounded them.
Sima Deji's face suddenly turned extremely pale, and he set up an ambush to ambush the enemy, but he didn't expect the enemy to give him a counter-ambush, but instead surrounded them.
"Get out!" Sima Dejie roared, and ran backwards with the army, and it was Cheng Zhijie who intercepted and killed him in the back. Seeing the enemy rushing up; Cheng Zhijie laughed, and then rushed forward first.
"Boom!" The two armies collided fiercely, and Sima Dejie now knew that Cheng Zhijie was terrible. This guy is a humanoid beast, and where the big axe passes, a group of people are turned on their backs; No soldier can be him for a moment.
"Siege! Round him up! Sima Dejiao saw Cheng Zhijie rushing towards him, and he screamed in fright. A group of partial generals under his command also praised the courage of the chickens, and surrounded Cheng Zhijie with knives and guns.
Lao Cheng was not afraid, with a round of the big axe in his hand, there was a chaotic sound of chattering, and a piece of knives and guns flew wildly; Then the axe flashed again, and some heads fell to the ground, and some dead bodies fell; The rest of the people scattered and fled.
Lao Cheng quickly killed Sima Dejiao's purchase. Sima Dejiao saw that the souls were all rising, he knew that he could no longer dodge, and he stabbed when he was distracted by the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand.
Cheng Zhijie hung up with the big axe in his hand, and then seized the opportunity to cut his head, Sima Dejie was taken aback and hurriedly took the shelf back. As a result, within three or four rounds, he was tricked by Lao Cheng into opening Fang Tian's halberd, and then cut off his head with an axe.
Lao Cheng stood up with the big axe, caught Sima Deji's head, and shouted: "Your general has been ambushed, if you don't surrender, when will you wait!" ”
"If you don't surrender, when will you wait!" "If you don't surrender, when will you wait!" The tidal wave shouted and shook the entire battlefield. The morale of the soldiers of the Great Demon Kingdom was greatly boosted, while the troops of Yu Wenhua and were flickering.
"Dangchang!" Finally, some people threw down their knives and guns, and everyone else fell to their knees and begged as if they were infected. Yuwen Chengdu, who was at the end of the team, looked at it and sighed. Pull the horse away.
Cheng Zhijie ordered the troops to stop fighting and start capturing prisoners. Dongfang Yumei pursed her lips and said, "What does Brother Cheng want these soft eggs for?" What to do if you surrender the enemy again when you get to the battlefield? ”
Lao Cheng laughed and said: "Yumei, our command is too short of manpower, especially the Han people are scarce. They were also peasants before, but they couldn't join the army of my Great Demon Kingdom, and sending them to Liaodong or Dongying could also help stability. ”
"I see you like a human trafficker, scavenging everywhere."
Cheng Zhijie laughed: "The population is still too small, the more I need now, the better!" Let's go, let's defend Cangcheng, just wait to see how Yu culture and how it will fall. ”
Yu Wenhua was rewarded by the rout, knowing that Cangcheng was defeated and Sima Dejiao was killed, Yuwen Chengdu led less than 5,000 people to flee back, and he was so frightened that his soul was scattered. When he came out of Jiangdu, he had an army of 100,000 troops, and the Yu culture and spirit at that time were high.
Unexpectedly, just out of the river is not far away, the soldiers complained and defected, and to Xuzhou and his subordinates rebelled, although they were quickly quelled, but it also made him lose a lot of strength, after this battle there were losses of more than 20,000 people, and his men were only left with 50,000 troops; It's only half of the original, and it's not as good as the enemy on the other side.
Yu Wenhua and reconvened all his subordinates to discuss what to do next? Everyone, you and I can't say a word that can be implemented. Seeing that Yu Wenhuaji's face was getting darker and darker, Yu Wenzhihe hurriedly said: "Big brother, the only way to do this is to attack the enemy army and break through the Yongji Canal. ”
Yu Wenhua sighed and said, "I don't know what you said? But what if the enemy is as strong as that? ”
Yuwen Zhiji said: "Big brother, although the enemy is outnumbered, they are composed of the Four-Nation Alliance. We can divide and divide them, and break them one by one. Yu Wenhua's eyes lit up and said: "How to break them one by one, you talk about it first." ”
Yu Wenzhi said with a smile: "Let's look at the enemy's four-way army first, the strongest is the 30,000 people under Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang; They came to intercept us because we wanted to seize Guanzhong. Now it's impossible for us to go to Guanzhong; We can send a man who can speak well to Chang'an, and ask him to tell Li Yuan that we will not take Guanzhong, and hope that Li Yuan can withdraw his troops. ”
Yu Wenhua and Wen Yan nodded and said, "The third brother is reasonable, but who should we send?" Yuwen Zhiji smiled and said, "Big brother, isn't there a ready-made candidate?" The second brother has always disdained to be with our brothers, and he talks nonsense every day to disturb the morale of the army. We can't kill him, and we can't keep him; It just so happens that he and Li Yuan are very good, and it is most suitable to be this messenger. ”
Yu Wenhua slapped the table excitedly and said, "Okay! Let the taxi go to Guanzhong. How can there be three? What to do? ”
Yuwen Zhiji said: "The remaining Li Mi has 20,000 horses, and Dou Jiande has 20,000 horses; Cheng Zhijie of the Great Demon Kingdom has 10,000 horses. On the surface, the strength of the Great Demon Kingdom is the weakest. But in fact, this is not the case, this great demon country is strong and well-equipped. This 10,000 people is no worse than the 20,000 people in the other two countries, and if you count the ability of the generals, it is even stronger. ”
Yu Wenhua thought that they would destroy 30,000 of their own 10,000 people, and Cheng Zhijie even abolished his son, and nodded in agreement.
Yuwen Zhiji said with a smile: "Although this Cheng Zhijie is brave, he has a disadvantage, that is, he is greedy for money and lustful. It is rumored that the merchant under the rule of this person has a very high status, and I heard that many of these are supported by him, competing with the people for profits and taking the wealth of the people. And this guy has a lot of beauties in the harem, and it is said that some of them are still robbed of other people's wives.
Why did such a guy only bring 10,000 people? It must be to show his heart to Li Mi and Dou Jiande, as long as he is good, he will not be on the throne. For this guy, we can give more beauties and treasures, and he must be happy to watch. ”
Yu Wenhua couldn't help nodding and said, "How much do you think we can send?" Yuwen Zhiji smiled: "Of course, the more the merrier, but we can't be too cheap for him." These treasures are divided into one percent, and those Jiangnan palace maids are not afraid to send more; Thinking that he should be satisfied with such a dirt bun. ”
Yu Wenhua nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to you to handle this; What about the rest of Li Mi and Dou Jiande? ”
Yuwen Zhiji said: "These two guys buy people's hearts everywhere and have great ambitions; Their eyes must be staring at the jade seal and the royal family personnel in your hand, and they want to narrow the emperor to order the princes. To deal with these two people, you have to find a way to provoke contradictions between them and make them kill each other; In the end, it can be captured in one fell swoop. ”
