Chapter 200: Lu Meng steals the city
Zhang Xiu's army was attacked from head to end, and the army's morale was unstable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info In particular, the soldiers who were lagging behind at the end of the formation were originally recruited from the Yuan Shu Department, and they traveled thousands of miles from Shouchun to Guanzhong, exhausted, and the soldiers at the end of the formation collapsed instantly, and the soldiers in the middle didn't know what happened at the end of the formation, so they instinctively followed and fled.
Yang Fu organized soldiers to rush forward and kill, beheading more than 1,000 people, and their morale was high.
Lu Meng heard the shouting and killing sound from the front, he did not say the joy of the enemy's ambush, this battle is very important, he knows very well that Lu Bu is not Sun Ce, Sun Ce can reorganize the army and fight again, once Lu Bu is defeated, there is no chance to reorganize the army and fight again.
Lü Meng chose a high mound to look down on the chaotic battlefield, Zhang Xiu's soldiers were overwhelming, and there were scattered deserters within a radius of seven or eight miles, Zhang Xiu's general flag was more than ten miles away, and Lü Meng was too late to rescue him.
Lu Meng carefully observed the enemy army, and saw that the two enemy armies in front and behind were very brave, and there were a thousand people in front and behind: "This should be Zhang Ji's main force, right?" ”
Lu Meng said to himself: "Xinfeng County, it is quite good to have 2,000 troops, it should be out of the city." ”
"Supporting General Zhang Xiu now may not be able to reverse the defeat, and it is only more than forty miles to Xinfeng County." Lu Meng repeatedly thought about whether to rescue Zhang Xiu or seize the opportunity to attack Xinfeng.
"Everyone threw away all the dry food, armor, clothes, tents, pennants, etc.! Only weapons and rattan cards remained. Lu Meng suddenly ordered and decided to take the risk of blocking it.
One by one, the soldiers took off all the armor of Lu Bujun's logo, leaving only thin linen clothes, shivering in the wind.
"Brothers. As long as we take the city, the whole army will be rewarded with three hangings, and the first person will be rewarded with hardware, and the general! Lu Meng crossed the sea and said, he didn't expect that he was poor and white, and he couldn't afford to pay for this huge coin.
"Rush!" Some of these soldiers, who had been with Lü Meng for a long time, were the first to go straight ahead.
"Stop, I ran the wrong one." Lu Meng shouted: "Let's not enter Duling, take the road to Xinfeng." ”
Lu Meng said as he started running first, he didn't have gold to pay the soldiers who boarded first, and he didn't have to spend gold when he ran into the city first.
"It's so cold!" Some of the soldiers couldn't stand the cold and complained.
"It's not cold when you run." After the soldier running by next to him finished speaking, he brought a gust of wind and chased forward.
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the hometowns of these soldiers are all thousands of miles away, and they can't escape home if they want to escape, and they will be caught by Lu Bu's army in the south, and they will run hard with Lu Meng to get the bounty.
"If you want to live, rush forward!" Zhang Xiu rushed forward to the enemy, while shouting orders to the soldiers, among which the soldiers borrowed from Huang Zhong were all veterans of a hundred battles, well-equipped, and extremely disciplined, and followed Zhang Xiu to rush forward to kill.
The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, Zhang is also a civilian official in the final analysis, and the battle array charge is not as brave as Zhang Xiu, and relying on the large number of people cannot kill all the hundreds of soldiers led by Zhang Xiu who have not yet broken up.
Killing until the full moon was in the sky, Zhang Xiu led the soldiers to break out of the encirclement, and there were only more than 300 soldiers around him. From 4,000 to 300, most of the soldiers fled, and Zhang Xiu still couldn't accept the heavy blow.
Looking at the full moon in the sky, thinking about Lu Bu's repeated explanations before leaving, Zhang Xiu waved his gun and wanted to commit suicide.
A veteran soldier quickly grabbed Zhang Xiu's gun: "Why should the general blame himself? Even if the general dies, he will not be able to reverse the defeat, so it is better to gather the rout along the way, and then fight the thief general, capture Xinfeng, and make up for the merits. ”
Zhang Xiu listened to the advice of the veteran, and while collecting the defeated soldiers, he sent people to Lantian Huang Zhong for help.
It is said that Lu Meng ran forward desperately with his soldiers, and Lu Meng ran more than forty miles in only half an hour, and when he arrived at the foot of Xinfeng City, he couldn't wait to lie on the ground and kick his breath. He carried a gold-backed tiger head knife of more than 30 catties, and there were only a few soldiers who followed Lu Meng, all of whom were bowing and crawling to the ground, kicking like an ox.
Lu Meng waited for a small meeting on the side of the road, and forty or fifty people arrived one after another.
Lu Meng didn't wait for the big army, and took the lead in running to the city gate in a panic. There were only ten guards at the city gate, and when they saw a group of soldiers who had lost their armor and ran in a panic, they scolded from afar: "What people? ”
"Close the gates, the enemy is coming." Lu Meng yelled in panic.
"Useless stuff." The city gate guard scolded Lu Meng and the others, turned around and stood at the city gate hole, ignoring Lu Meng and the others who were close to him.
"Hey, there's an enemy army coming." Lu Meng was stunned by the city guard's approach.
"Don't grind, go inside and line up the formation!" The soldiers defending the city only thought that Lü Meng and others were the private soldiers of the family who had returned from defeat, and Zhang Ji had explained when he left that once a soldier was defeated and retreated, he would not let them run away, and let them line up at the city gate to defend the city.
Lu Meng and the others were led into the city gate by a city gate soldier: "Line up a battle formation here, General Hu will come back immediately, if anyone wants to run again, there will be no mercy!" ”
The soldier said viciously to Lu Meng and the others.
One after another, Lu Meng's troops were pulled by the city gate guards to line up, and Lu Meng and other soldiers were enough in number and rested, so they suddenly brought people to kill them. Lu Meng didn't dare to wait long, he had to control the four city gates as soon as possible, otherwise he would not be able to stop the enemy army from coming back.
Under the surprised gaze of the guards guarding the city, Lu Meng suddenly came out of the city and killed all ten people. Lü Meng quickly sent people to kill all the soldiers of the other three gates.
Before Hu Zun led the private soldiers back, he held Xinfeng in his hand, and Lu Meng immediately ordered: "Go and find General Zhang Xiu's location, and immediately go to Lantian to find General Huang, and ask him to send troops to help in the starry night." ”
Another hour passed, looking at Hu Zun who was surrounded by hundreds of people in the distance, Lu Meng's face flashed with fanaticism, and he ambushed the soldiers on both sides of the city gate, waiting for Hu Zun's head to be taken to ask for merit and reward.
Hu Zun watched the city gate open, several guards in Xinfeng garrison costumes were at the city gate hole, there was no embankment at all, he didn't expect someone to control Xinfeng County one step ahead of him. After Hu Zun was defeated, he rushed back to the county seat non-stop.
Lu Meng's soldier entered the city unconsciously, and even the families in the city thought that it was a private soldier of another family who had retreated from defeat, and no one suspected it at all.
Everything was expected by Zhang Ji, Hu Zun stepped into the city gate, and his heart was relaxed, and he commanded the Lu Meng soldiers who were at the city gate and said, "You, you, you...... And you, quickly lead the soldiers to line up, and divide the troops to defend the gates, so as not to let the thieves desert here. ”
"Whoa." According to Hu Zun's orders, several soldiers stepped forward to stop the private soldiers beside Hu Zun and took them to the array.
Hu Zun took a few steps forward, and suddenly paused to look at the guards who stopped the defeated soldiers at the city gate: "What are your names?" Who are you, and what are your chiefs? Why haven't I seen you? ”
There are only so many soldiers in Xinfeng County, and they have basically met Hu Zun, and suddenly a few unfamiliar faces aroused Hu Zun's suspicion.
"We are ......" Who knows what the name of the chief of Xinfeng County is, and the guards can't say why for a long time.
"Kill!" Lu Meng saw that he was exposed at the last moment, and he didn't wait for Hu Zun to enter the city and enter the ambush circle, and his troops came out.
"Thief! You thieves want to rebel? Hu Zun didn't know why there were ambushes in the city.
"Lu Meng, under the command of the auxiliary general, is here, and the thief general will not surrender!" Lu Meng shouted loudly and raised his knife to kill.
"How is that possible? No way! Aren't you a young general next to Zhang Xiu? Why did you come to me? Hu Zun looked at Lu Meng in disbelief and asked.
"General Zhang Xiu has already seen through the tricks of Er and others, he is just leading the army to delay Er and other thieves, so that someone can steal the city!" Lu Meng laughed and talked nonsense.
"Let's go together!" Lu Meng commanded the soldiers to rush forward together.
The private soldiers brought back by Hu Zun were already stopped in the distance by the fake guards sent by Lu Meng, and the private soldiers were like frightened birds, seeing that there was a sudden change in the city, and a thief army was killed, everyone rushed to retreat. Hu Zun faced Lü Meng and countless soldiers alone, Hu Zun's martial arts were not as good as Lü Meng, and he was killed by Lü Meng and was overwhelmed.
Hu Zun's habitual horse lance was picked off by Zhang Xiu, and the soldier's general-purpose spear in his hand was very unskilled, and he had to resist Lu Meng's attack, and he also had to resist the weapons of countless soldiers who surrounded him in all directions, and after more than ten rounds, he was covered in blood like a pillar, and his whole body was covered with countless wounds.
The wound affected Hu Zun's movements, and he was even more unable to resist Lu Meng's attack, and Lu Meng attacked with all his strength, forcing Hu Zun to resist with all his strength.
A small soldier nearby took advantage of Hu Zun's resistance to Lu Meng, pounced on Hu Zun from behind, moved his restraint away, and cut his throat alive in Hu Zun's screams. When he was dying, Hu Zunfa slammed into the city wall and killed the soldiers on his back on the spot.
Poor future Cao Wei's General Wei gave people a meritorious service when he first debuted.
Lu Meng left Hu Zun's head alone, in his eyes, Hu Zun was not worth much compared to small soldiers, not even the most unpopular general, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to close the city gate. After the county ordered Zhang Ji to defeat Zhang Xiu, he would definitely come back, and after Lu Meng had to resist Zhang Ji's counterattack, Xinfeng could be regarded as really taking it.
Zhang Ji had been operating in Xinfeng for a long time, and the forces in the city were dependent, and Lü Meng did not dare to guarantee that his 1,000 defenders could hold Xinfeng under the internal and external attacks, so he sent people to Lantian in advance to find Huang Zhong for help.
Zhang is collecting Zhang Xiu's defeated troops in Duling, this wave of enemy troops is well-equipped, Zhang only needs to equip these equipment to his own soldiers, and he is more than 1,000 elite infantry. Nonsense, this is the equipment that Lu Bu pulled out from the soldiers in Jingzhou, can it not be sophisticated, there are only so many in the entire Lu Bu army. Lantian and Xinfeng were related to Lu Bu's command of Chang'an, and Lu Bu specially sent the most elite troops to Zhang Xiu. There were only seven or eight thousand pairs of such equipment in Lu Bu's army, so that Zhang Xiu lost more than 1,000 in the first battle.
"Report, Xinfeng is lost!"
Zhang heard that if he was struck by lightning, his base camp was lost.
"How many enemy troops are there? How did you get lost, you tell me in detail. Zhang Ji's psychological quality is very strong, suppressed his panic, and asked.
"My subordinates don't know, when General Hu Zun led me back to the city, the enemy would come out of the city, and General Hu Zun was killed on the spot."
"Hu Yidao died in battle?" Zhang was in pain.
"The county order is not to ask for a woman's posture, lose a city, and then recapture it." Yang Fu looked down on Zhang Ji very much and cried.
