078 Dark Passage

In mid-September, Gao Fei, the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai who was sweeping through the counties of Zhongshan Kingdom, learned from the remnants of Wuji County that Wuji County had been captured by the Han army and fell into the hands of the Han army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the same day, in order to prevent changes, Gao Fei sent messengers to gather the other line of soldiers and horses that were separated, and the two lines of soldiers and horses merged into one road, and continued to sweep through Zhongshan Country all the way, while sending people to inform Zhang Bao and mobilize troops to block the way back to the south of the Han army to prevent it from escaping.

In the Yanai of Chengcheng County, Xiaqu, Zhang Bao pointed his index finger to the three people, "Mao Yang, Liang Song, Shi Han (tao), the three of you immediately ordered 20,000 soldiers and horses to go north to Wuji, and blocked the Han army from fleeing south." ”

"Yes, General Digong," the three of them replied, and immediately turned to leave.

"Wait," Zhang Bao twisted his eyebrows and suddenly stopped the three of them.

"General Digong, I don't know what else to order?" Among the three, Liang Song in the center asked.

Zhang Bao said slowly, "If you can eat the Han army in Wuji County, you will eat it for Lao Tzu; If you can't eat it, you will wait for Lao Tzu to fly south, and then attack Wuji with superior forces. ”

"Yes," the three of them immediately showed a hint of brightness in their eyes, thinking that Gao Fei, as the number one general under Zhang Bao, was brave in battle, and deeply trusted Zhang Bao. Now, Gao Fei has lost the Wuji County he just captured, and if the three of them capture Wuji County again and defeat the Han army, wouldn't it mean that the three of them are better than Gao Fei, and at that time, the person favored by General Digong will not be Gao Fei.

In a few days, Zhang Fei and others in Wuji County welcomed the diners sent by the Zhen family, and after greeting the diners, Zhang Fei learned that Zhen Yi, the head of the Zhen family, did not escape from the secret passage of the Zhen family, and secretly hid in Jiumen County, a neighboring county, to temporarily settle down.

In the back garden of Wuji Zhen's Mansion, Zhang Fei and Yu Ban stood in front of the rockery with a team of soldiers. Looking at the dark and secluded hole, Zhang Fei turned his head sideways and said, "I'll just say, being besieged by the Yellow Turban Army in Wuji, how can you disappear out of thin air and escape to Jiumen County, which is dozens of miles away, I dare to love that there is another mystery in this back garden." ”

Yu Jian Shou echoed, and couldn't help but sigh, "This Zhen family master is not unprepared, he has already dug a passage to the outside of the city. As he spoke, Yu Ban took a few steps forward, stretched out his broad palm and touched the rockery wall, "Look at this trace, this passage, it should be excavated for several months." ”

"Wen Ze," on one side, Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows, "According to what you say, this passage is the beginning of the Yellow Turban Riot, and Zhen Yi dug it up." ”

"Hmm," Yu Ban twisted the rockery's chiseled earth and stones.

"Coming," Zhang Fei's voice fell, and a rush of footsteps came out of the passage, followed by the dark passage illuminated by a few pine oil torches.

Not long after, Xiao Hu, who was wearing a battle robe, appeared at the mouth of the passage, "My lord, this passage leads to the branch of Taihang Mountain in the west near the Hutuo River, and it will be not far from Jiumen County after crossing the Hutuo River. ”

"The branch of Taihang Mountain, the Hutuo River,, this is dozens of miles away!" Zhang Fei's eyes widened, he couldn't believe that Zhen Yi was so ruthless, digging dozens of miles as soon as he dug up, wasn't he afraid that the tunnel would be discovered by others and give him an urn to catch turtles.

"Report," At this time, there was a shout from outside Zhen's mansion, and a scout hurriedly ran into the back garden while shouting, Zhang Fei and Yu Ban heard the footsteps and looked back.

"What's wrong," Zhang Fei asked aloud.

"Lord Duwei, my subordinates have found that a large number of Yellow Turbans are crossing the Hutuo River in the north, and the troops will be able to come to the city at sunset today."

"Beidu, could it be that Zhang Bao sent troops north, if this is the case, when Gao Fei, who swept through the Zhongshan Kingdom, led his troops south, it would be 40,000 soldiers and horses," At the moment, Zhang Fei and Yu Ban glanced at each other, and a bad mood grew in their hearts.

"Wuji County is not a fortified city, the city wall is only two feet. If the Yellow Turban makes up his mind to take Wuji, with a battle loss of ten to one or even twenty to one, then the first one who can't hold it will be our department. However, "Yu Ban turned around and comforted Zhang Feidao, "With the momentum of the Yellow Turban Onslaught, as long as our army survives the first five days of the onslaught, when the Yellow Turban is dissipated, our department can wait for Lord Zhonglang to lead troops to the north to reinforce and attack Zhang Bao in front and back." ”

"Therefore, the top priority is to hold on to Wuji, and then cooperate with Lord Zhonglang to implement the strategy of flanking before and after."

Then, Zhang Fei said solemnly, "Wen Ze, in terms of offense, defense, and field warfare, I am not as good as you; But in terms of fighting generals and charging into battle, you are not as good as me, now, the heavy responsibility of defending the city will be handed over to you, I will act as a sharp knife in your hand, I will fight wherever you point, and I will never disobey you. ”

Immediately, Yu Ban was not polite, and directly took over the command, "My lord, please let the officers and men in the army demolish the uninhabited houses in the city in case of emergency; He also ordered people to collect huge stones and transport them to the city gate tower, waiting for the next battle.

"Okay, no problem," Zhang Fei said with a grin.

On the same day, Zhang Fei was driven out of Wuji City by Yu Ban and went to Guangzong to mobilize 800 people under his command to help in the Wuji War.

For the matter of mobilizing 800 people to set foot on the white camp, Yu Ban has carefully considered, and now Guangzong is in a stalemate, and the two sides are waiting for an inexplicable opportunity. And the 800 White Battalion had no decisive impact on the overall war, and it was also a dispensable role in the hands of Huangfu Song; And if the 800 White Battalion is transferred to the extreme, it is because the forbidden hands can act as a surprise soldier at a critical moment and turn the situation around.

The next day, Mao Yang, Liang Song, and Shi Han took turns to lead troops to attack Wuji. However, under the forbidden defense, the three did not have any upper hand, but were pressed and beaten by the Han army and blocked under the city.

After a long attack, the loss rate of soldiers and horses under their command was amazing, and more than 800 people were killed in each battle, which made the three of them stop attacking for a while, and the three of them discussed it, and consciously attacked and injured 1,000 enemies, and lost 800 themselves. Therefore, the three of them repeated the strategy of flying high, divided their soldiers and horses into six divisions, and took turns to test the attack.

Not to mention, although Yu Ban strictly instructed his soldiers, there were still a few soldiers who were distracted and rushed to the city by the Yellow Turban soldiers. Simply, Yu Ban let the 100 ironclad guards waiting on the side take action to kill the Yellow Turban soldiers who rushed to the city.

After the four city gates of Wuji County, Yu Ban let people block the gates with boulders, piled up several layers to ensure that the Yellow Turbans could not enter the city gates, and then sent 300 iron guards at the south gate and 500 Beidou Battalion soldiers to guard, one is to let 800 people act as city gate guards, and the other is to act as a reserve to defend the city, taking turns to deal with the attack of the Yellow Turbans.

On the third day of the Yellow Turban siege, Zhang Fei, who had returned from Guangzong, led 800 troops to hide in a col not far from Wuji County, and sent more than ten scouts to inquire about the news during the day, and the rest all hid in the col.

On the fourth day, outside the city, seeing that it could not be attacked for a long time, the three Yellow Turban generals immediately gathered in one place. Among the three of them, Liang Song's face was full of pain, and a trace of retreat rose in his heart, "Mao Yang, Shi Han, do you want to continue to attack?" ”

"Fight, damn it, Lao Tzu's side has lost nearly 2,000 people, and Lao Tzu can't swallow this breath if he doesn't fight."

Liang Song looked at Shi Han's eyes with a fierce light, and knew in his heart that he had been beaten out of anger. But if you continue to fight, even if you can capture Wuji City, I'm afraid there won't be much left of your own side of the army.

At that moment, Liang Song threw the decision to Mao Yang, if he fights, then he will fight together, "Mao Yang, what do you say." ”

"This," Mao Yang hesitated, the light in his eyes flickered, and after thinking about it, he asked rhetorically, "Liang Song, what do you say." ”

"Hey," Liang Song's eyes widened, and when he saw the two of them looking at him in unison, he couldn't just say retreat at the moment, so he could only say euphemistically, "In the past three days, the three of us have lost more than 2,000 soldiers and horses each, right!" ”

The two nodded slowly, and Liang Song continued when he saw this, "After three consecutive days of siege, we have tested that there are nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses in Wuji City, as for whether the Han army has reinforcements, let's not talk about it first. In the past three days, our three sides have lost 6,000 soldiers and horses in the siege of the city, and the defenders on the head of the city have estimated that the battle losses are only five or six hundred. In the end, even if the city is captured, the three of our brother's men may die. ”

Suddenly, Shi Han said hesitantly, "Then according to what you mean, wait for Gao Fei to go south and attack Wuji City together." ”

Liang Song's jaw headed, "That's what I mean." But if you insist on attacking Wuji County, I Liang Song will accompany you, and it will be a big deal to be punished by the general of the Digong together. ”

The two of them looked at Liang Song gratefully, which made Liang Song feel proud for a while, he was sure of the characters of the two, and he was not sure.

Mao Yang thought for a moment and said, "Suspend the attack, after a few days of strong attacks, the brothers under his command are a little unbearable." ”

Shi Han glanced sideways at Mao Yang, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then suspend the attack, and when we converge and fly high, I want to use the head of the Han general guarding the city as a urinal." ”
