In the twenty-ninth round, Xu Gongming lightly defeated the enemy general Tian Yuanhao, and skillfully captured the city
A few days ago, Guan Yu and Xu Huang came to Wei County, where they had set up camp and sat in the Chinese military tent to discuss the military situation. Xu Huang, Guan Yu, Gao Shun, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, and Zhang Liao were all present. Unlike the historically calm and comfortable ones, it was the first time that they had commanded such a major battle, and everyone was a little excited and nervous, yes, like all new commanders, even the most famous ones were not exempt from the vulgar.
But they can calm down more quickly than anyone else, and get into command. After discussing for a long time, there is still no good way to deal with this fortified city. In fact, it's not that the attack can't be attacked, but the price paid is too great, it's not worth it, don't forget that Guan Yu's army is also shouldering the task of blocking the enemy's reinforcements, if the consumption in the siege war is too large, then it will not be able to reconcile to complete Li Xin's set goal, once the Yellow Turban Army of Dongjun successfully goes north and joins with Guangzong's Zhang Jiao, Li Xin's plan will be a complete failure, for Li Xin, who has mobilized almost all the troops, he will lose the possibility of competing with the family, all Wei counties must be broken, and at the same time, there can be no excessive casualties, All the people decided to test it before they made a plan.
In the early morning of the next day, Guan Yu was under the city to fight the enemy and scold the array, a cannon rang out in the city, and five thousand troops lined up under the city, led by three enemy generals, Li Le, Han Xian, and Hu Cai, all three of whom were generals under Yang Feng, and guarded Wei County with Yang Feng. The confrontation between the two armies, as usual, is an innocuous scolding, which is nothing more than telling the other side to surrender obediently, so that a life can be spared. Naturally, words are not speculative, and swords face each other. However, this time Guan Yu did not rush to the battlefield, but gave the opportunity to Xu Huang.
Xu Huang urged the horse to come to the front of the formation, and fought against Han Xian's horse, and the two of them reported that they had finished their names, and they were urging their mounts to fight in one place. Xu Huang made a big axe, and Han Xian used a big gun. At the beginning, Xu Huang was horse to steal the limelight, and made the first move, a force split Huashan, to split Han Xian in half, Han Xian made a fire to burn the sky outward, Xu Gongming took advantage of the situation and cut down along the barrel of the gun, Han Xian hurriedly dodged outward, so as not to cut off his hand, but at this time the empty door in the chest was exposed, for Xu Huang, this was a good opportunity, so he drew a big axe and stabbed Han Xian's front heart with the tip of the axe, Han Xian couldn't dodge when he saw it, so he had to draw out the saber with his left hand, and knocked it outward hard, and the tip of the axe was dodged, But the axe blade opened a blood groove on Han Xian's shoulder, making Han Xian's painful sweat rain, and the gun in his right hand was about to be unable to hold it, at this time, the two horses were getting closer and closer, only to see Xu Huang pull the axe, now the axe tail, and use the triangular pyramid of the axe tail to pierce Han Xian's throat directly, Han Xian wanted to hide, but the blood on his shoulder flowed, making him feel weak, and he saw that the triangular pyramid was getting closer and closer to him, but he couldn't use any strength, and with a plop, the dead body fell off the horse.
The soldiers hurriedly came to snatch the corpse, and Xu Huang did not return to his own position, but pointed with an axe, "The one who is not afraid of death has come to fight with me!" Seeing Xu Huang's strong martial arts, he didn't dare to fight, so he retreated to the city. Guan Yu did not rashly attack the city, but collected his troops and returned to the camp.
In the evening, everyone was discussing in the tent, and suddenly a soldier came to report, saying that there was a messenger in the city who brought a letter to the general, and Guan Yu said, "Bring him up." I saw a small school walk into the tent.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? ”
"Back to the general, there is a letter to the general." After speaking, he took out a letter from his bosom.
After reading the letter, Guan Yu circulated the letter to everyone, "Oh, so Li Le and Hu Cai, the two generals want to abandon the darkness and turn to the light?" ”
"As the lord said, my general has this intention, tomorrow evening, they will bring the personal guards, come to the camp to surrender, and at the same time help the lord enter the city at night."
"Is that true?"
"If there is even the slightest falsehood, I am willing to kill myself on the spot."
Guan Yu watched for a long time and found no flaws, so he wrote a reply letter and promised Li Le and Hu Cai's surrender. After sending the messenger away, everyone discussed how to deal with it, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu glanced at each other, and then Tian Feng said: "There must be fraud in it!" See that the general can be counted. ”
"Why? Obviously, the actions of the person who came just now were extremely real, and there was no trace of falsehood. ”
"Yes, it's because of this, that's why it's a fraud. Although the situation in the city is unknown, one thing is certain, that is, it has never reached the point of irreconcilable contradictions, and at the same time, the troops and generals who have experienced the wind and rain all the way since Yang Fengcong raised his troops are defended by Yang Feng, and there is no good reason for them to surrender. Even if they really have the will to surrender, then why are there only the Pro-Guards, and not all the armies under their control. Judging from the battlefield that day, for Li Le and Hu Cai, at least nearly 5,000 troops under their command were very loyal to them. There are less than 15,000 troops in the city, and if you surrender sincerely, then there are so many men and horses, it is enough to cooperate with the outside world, so why do you have to go out of the city first? Therefore, Li Le and Hu Cai are deceitful. ”
"So how? Please make it clear to the military advisor. ”
So, so, so, so...... The plan is over, and everyone goes to prepare.
The next day, at dusk, Guan Yu led everyone to wait for Li Le and Hu Cai to come down in the big tent early, and everyone wore armor inside, just in case, even Tian Feng and Fu Zhu were wearing soft armor. Not long after, the sergeant came to report, saying that Li Le and Hu Cai had led 1,000 troops to surrender. Guan Yu instructed the sergeant to welcome the two of them into the tent, and specially told Gao Shun: "According to the instructions of the military advisor, you lead the 'trapped camp', but if the sergeant from the city of Wei County, no matter how many, none of them will be released back, and all of them will be placed under house arrest!" At the same time, it is useful to peel off the military uniform, and the action must be fast, and it must be completed before the enemy army in the city finds out. ”
However, it was said that Li Le and Hu Cai each hid a sharp blade by their side, led a thousand soldiers, led sheep and wine, and went to the front of the army. Seeing that he was not prepared, he was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that he had a plan. When he entered the tent, he saw Guan Yu and everyone sitting in the tent. The second general hurriedly knelt down and said: "The day before yesterday, I saw the general Tianwei, and the kid wanted to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, so he specially led a thousand soldiers under his command to vote, and hoped that the general would not give up." ”
Guan Yu scolded secretly in his heart, hum, coy, I see what you have done, and smirked: "It is not easy for the second general to defend the city, and it is a great achievement to bring the army to invest today, so you should drink this cup first." ”
After the second general finished drinking, Guan Yu said again: "This general has a secret matter to discuss with the second general, and the idlers retreat." Then he drove out all the soldiers he had brought out of the tent. Guan Yu threw the cup, and the knife and axe hand who had been in ambush earlier behind the tent came out in response. The two were caught off guard and were immediately captured.
Guan Yu shouted: "Why did you two conspire and want to take the life of General Ben? ”
The two of them were quibbling, and Tian Feng ordered to search the two of them left and right, and sure enough, they each found a poisoned blade. The two of them were speechless and begged for mercy. But for such a person, it is naturally a decapitation.
The rest was done according to the plan, Gao Shun opened the city gate by fraud, urgently urged the "trapped camp" to enter the city, and immediately punished the soldiers defending the city. Caused three bonfires at the head of the city, Guan Yu saw it in the distance, leading the army straight as in the city, the defenders of Wei County didn't even know what was going on, they were all captured in their sleep, and Yang Feng was alone because he was restless, and he never rested, seeing that the general trend had gone, irretrievable, so he abandoned the city and looked at Guangzong to throw. Starry night and go back to report the news.
Guan Yu was almost bloodless, and he won the Wei County City, and the Wei County soldiers all surrendered. Guan Yu's troops suddenly numbered more than 60,000 people, but for the completion of the task, there was still no guarantee of success, because it must have been a bitter battle with the reinforcements from Dongjun.
