Chapter 395 Nanyang changed hands
South of the Han River is a blessed land, and north of the Han River is another country. Jingzhou has been divided for I don't know how many years, and now the four forces are wandering in Jingzhou, the Northern Expedition plan has been completed, and Xun Gang is now going to turn these four forces into three!
Nanyang was originally the richest place in Jingzhou, and this law has changed since Xun Gang came to Jingzhou. Since Xun Gang's soldiers took Xiangyang without blood, Cao Ren has been in charge of guarding the north of Nanyang. To be honest, Xun Gang regretted this arrangement, if he had been holding the power, then he wouldn't have to waste time attacking Wancheng.
But this is also helpless, if he deprived Cao Ren of military power at that time, it would inevitably arouse Cao Cao's suspicion, then there would be no such argument today.
Xun Gang's preparations before the war were very sufficient, and before Cao Ren had time to react, he quickly occupied the villages near Nanyang, and ordered the soldiers not to be taken captive, so as to buy people's hearts, and then cut off the communication arteries between Nanyang and Wancheng to besiege Nanyang, trying to use this method to force the city defenders to surrender.
Xun Gang's move was faster than Hitler's blitzkrieg, and he quickly arrived at the city of Nanyang in just one day, and Niu Jin, who was defending the city, could not react. However, Niu Jin was short-tempered, and when he heard that Xun Gang was besieging the city, he immediately brought 3,000 men and horses to give Xun Gang a good look.
Niu Jin had a short temper in the past, so no one dared to stop him, so he let him lead his troops out of the city. I never thought that Niu Jin had just rushed out of the north gate, and a female general flew in front of him, although the form was charming, but the majesty of riding on the horse was undiminished, Niu Jin was furious, and only said that Xun Gang despised himself in the army, and he was going to fight to the death with the female general when he raised his gun.
"Whoever is coming, report your name!"
Lu Lingqi rode out of the station, originally planning to meet the enemy general, but did not think that the man rushed up without saying a word, Lu Lingqi felt that he had been insulted, and he was extremely angry, and he came out with a halberd in his hand, and he was entangled with Niu Jin.
"Women are at home with their husbands and children, and the battlefield is not the place for you!"
Niu Jin shouted, the spear was like a meteor and quickly walked towards Lu Lingqi's door, without the slightest stay, Lu Lingqi was unhurried, and after quickly dodging the frontal attack sideways, he hit him with a backhand, and his actions were charming and moving, as if he was not here to fight, but to walk the catwalk.
Niu Jin didn't expect this woman to be outstanding, although he was stunned for a moment, but he also quickly counterattacked. The two of you have gone back and forth for more than a dozen rounds, but the three thousand soldiers brought out by Niu Jin looked confused, didn't they come out to fight?
After all, Lu Lingqi is a woman, and she has not exercised her hands for a long time, and her arm strength is not the same as before, and she gradually exhausted after more than 30 years. Niu Jin was infinitely powerful, and immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue, Lu Lingqi had no choice but to retreat, Niu Jin shouted, and led three thousand soldiers and horses to rush forward, intending to break out of the encirclement.
Xun Gang's army did not flinch in the slightest, and the infantry held shields and spears to block the enemy head-on; Even though Niu Jin's soldiers were in high spirits, it was difficult for them to break out of this iron-clad encirclement for a while.
Niu Jin galloped on his horse, like a wolf into the flock of sheep very brave, for a while blood splashed, wailing, Niu Jin roared, frightened Xun Gang soldiers all the fear, lost their minds for a while, and was killed by Niu Jin soldiers.
"Whoosh!"
Niu Jin was proud, and suddenly heard a loud noise, like the sound of a bow and arrow; Niu Jin heard it clearly, and his backhand was a shot, which happened to open the wolf's tooth arrow.
"Shameless people, they only dare to hide in the shadows and sneak attack!"
He shouted violently, and then galloped away into the distance, and the soldiers hurriedly stopped him, but he was only trampled by Niu Jin's horse, and did not dare to step forward for a while. Niu Jin heard the sound of horses' hooves, and expected that there must be a general here, and he jumped out, wanting to take his life.
"Thief, where to go!"
"Ding!"
In close combat, Niu Jin was stunned, it was no one else in front of him, it was Xun Zhan, who was only eight years old. Niu Jin never expected that it would be a child who made a bow to plot against himself, and he also took such a trick, which was difficult for anyone to accept.
Taking advantage of Niu Jin's distraction, Xun Zhan fought back, holding a spear and connecting seven stars, Niu Jin couldn't dodge, and was almost poked in seven holes, but his shoulder was bleeding and he was already injured.
"Where's the bastard?"
Niu Jin hadn't been able to escape from the shock that his opponent was a child, especially when he saw the heavy bow behind Xun Zhan's horse, he couldn't close his mouth in surprise. He had just suspected that it was Lu Bu who had made an arrow to plot the plan, but now he was completely convinced that it was this kid who would be able to shoot two stone bows and pierce Yang in a hundred steps!
"Whoa! Fall back! ”
Niu Jin didn't expect that Xun Gang's army was full of talents, and even an eight-year-old child could scare himself, so he had no choice but to retreat. Seeing this, Lu Lingqi was about to pursue, but at some point, a big hand was placed on her shoulder, and she said softly: "Don't chase, that person will come back!" ”
Niu Jin rushed to the city, only to see the walls towering, the tall buildings, the city gate closed, immediately called the people in the city to open the door, but did not expect but ushered in a burst of arrows.
"Bastard, what are you doing?"
After finishing speaking, a person came out of the city wall, looked at Niu Jin with a smile and said: "General Niu, Nanyang is already a lonely city, General Cao Ren's reinforcements have not been available for a long time, and it is only a matter of time before it falls!" Xun Hou is the orthodox King of Wei, we are already planning to surrender, and General Niu will also surrender with us! ”
"Fuck you! Xun Gang plotted to kill the King of Wei and set up Cao Chong's son, which was a great crime! If you don't know how to advance or retreat, how can you be reasonable, see me kill you, a dog thief! ”
Niu Jin was furious, and he wanted to shoot the man with a bow and arrow, but the man only said that Niu Jin's archery skills were outstanding, and he hurriedly ordered the soldier's room to expel Niu Jin; Niu Jin had no choice but to retreat, but there were strong enemies outside and traitors inside, where did he go?
"The whole army obeys the order and breaks through to the north!"
Xun Gang's subordinates are capable of many people, this time Lu Bu, Ma Chao, Zhang Liao and other famous generals are here, he Niu Jin knows that these three people are powerful, so he naturally does not dare to break through at other gates, only the woman at the north gate can bully herself, so she can only try to break through from here.
The North Gate Army had already reorganized its formation, and Lu Lingqi saw that Niu Jin had really returned, and sneered: "Why are you back again?" ”
Naturally he couldn't bear to ridicule Niu Jin like this, but thinking that the situation was critical at the moment, he couldn't help but say anything, and directly led the army to charge, trying to open a hole to break through. Lu Lingqi naturally wouldn't give him a chance, but seeing the arrival of those thousands of soldiers and horses, he quickly gathered the garrison forces into a square array, making it difficult for them to escape.
The defense of the Fangyuan Formation is first-class, and it is also a good choice if you besiege the enemy in the middle; Niu Jin saw that he could not evacuate the whole army, so he wanted to commit suicide and martyrdom, but was stopped by his soldiers.
"General, it's not a pity for me to die, but the general needs to go to Wancheng to report the news! The general has a horse, and we will stab it with a spear, and the horse will jump out of the siege when it is frightened! ”
Niu Jin didn't want to listen, but he had to go to Wancheng to report the news, so he could only reluctantly agree; Although the soldiers knew that they were going to die, they still stimulated the horses as they said, and the horses were frightened, and they leaped out of the inner formation.
Niu Jin, who rushed into the formation, was unstoppable, but he also knew that he would be captured after a long time, so he could only regret escaping from the encirclement and went to Wancheng to join Cao Ren.
Lu Lingqi wanted to besiege and kill the cadre, but she didn't expect Xun Gang on the side to wave his big hand and say: "Those who descend will not die!" ”
Those people thought that they would definitely die, but when they heard this, they put down their weapons and surrendered without a fight, after all, there were still their wives and parents in Nanyang City, and they had nothing else to ask for if they could survive. Only a few diehards were unwilling to surrender and were surrounded and killed by Xungang's soldiers.
The guards in Nanyang City also put down the city gate, although Xun Gang hated the two-faced and three-sworded people, but in order to calm the people's hearts, he let everyone still have official positions, and guarded Nanyang with Guo Huai. Although the person who surrendered was dissatisfied, he was afraid of Xun Gang's majesty and did not dare to speak out.
In just half a month, Nanyang successfully changed hands with almost no blood.
