356 The defeat of frustration

Although Yuan Tan's retreat was unjust, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, as the most loyal courtiers under Yuan Shao's account in the past, could not be unkind.

They knew that Yi Jing must not be lost, so they tried all kinds of ways to strengthen the city defenses, ready to meet the stormy attack of Lu Bu's army at any time.

However, after waiting for several days, Lu Bu's army outside the city was besieged but not attacked. In the Lu Bu military village outside the city, the cooking smoke is lit regularly every day, and sometimes after sunset, the bonfire will be lit under the big tent of the Lu Bu Chinese army outside the north gate, and the laughter of singing and dancing can be heard in the distance.

Tian Feng was puzzled, but Lu Bu's army came to the city but did not attack the city, and ran to the enemy outside the city to hold a party. Lu Bu, what is this going to do?

"Could it be that Lu Bu has to rely on the grain stored in the capital city? No way...... If that were the case, LΓΌ Bu should have besieged the city on all sides, but he only set up a large camp in the south of the city. The south gate leading directly to the hinterland of Youzhou was not prepared. In this way, the grain and grass from Youzhou can be continuously replenished into the city, and it will be impossible to force Yijing to a situation where there is no food available for a while. Tian Feng was puzzled. Frustrated and thoughtful, he patted his brain, "The big thing is not good, I waited for Guo Fengxiao's tricks." ”

"What's the plan?" Tian Feng asked in surprise.

"As I expected, Lu Bu is not outside Yijing City at all, and the big tent and handsome flag of the Chinese army are fake by Guo Fengxiao at all, they are fake!"

"That?" Tian Feng was stunned for a moment, and immediately ordered to kill out of the city.

The Yuan soldiers, who had been holding back in Yijing City for half a month, poured out of the city and killed directly at Lu Bu's camp. rushed into the gate of the village and took a look, as expected...... The endless tents were empty, and there were only a handful of 1,000 church guards stationed in the entire village. On weekdays, these guards buried thousands of stoves in the camp, pretending to be a big army to confuse Tian Feng and Frustration. Now he found that he was recognized by Tian Feng and Fu Zhi, and the moment the two of them left the city, they fled on horseback.

Looking at it every day, staring at it every day but letting the enemy slip away silently in front of him, Tian Feng was angry, "Lu Bu, where can he run." ”

"Where else can I go, I must take most of the people to bypass Yi Jing and attack elsewhere. No...... "Frustrated eyes, "Lu Bu is very likely to kill Yuyang and chase after Gongzi." ”

Tian Feng stomped his foot. Don't...... Yuan Tan left him and Fu Zhu and retreated to Youzhou Prefecture to govern Yuyang alone, and compared to Yijing, Yuyang's city defense was weak, and it didn't even have a decent moat, so it was easier to attack. It was for this reason that Lu Buding bypassed Yi Jing and turned to attack Yuyang. At the same time, once Yuyang is captured, it is equivalent to defeating Yuan Tan, as the main owner of Youzhou, Yuan Tan lost all the games.

"Guo Fengxiao! Guo Fengxiao, as expected, is worthy of the name of a ghost, and this trick is vicious. So...... Childe is in danger! Tian Feng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "No! We have to come back as soon as possible, otherwise Childe will be defeated. ”

Fu Zhu also knew that Yuan Tan must not be the opponent of Lu Bu and Guo Jia, so according to Tian Feng's words, Mao Sui recommended himself to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to help Yuyang, and left Tian Feng and another 10,000 soldiers and horses to continue to garrison Yijing.

The arrangements were properly made, and he went straight to Yuyang all the way, and on the way, because he was worried about Yuan Tan's safety, he urged his subordinates to travel day and night, and travel hundreds of miles a day. After marching for three days in a row, they reached Fanyang, and a mountain stood on the side of the official road. The top of the mountain resembles a ripe peach, so it gets the elegant name Peach Mountain, and because it looks like a woman**, it is commonly known as Nipple Mountain.

It is the spring season, and the various vegetation on the mountain blooms unscrupulously with its most wonderful fragrance.

In the hurry, he enjoyed the natural breath on his face, and sighed at how magnificent the rivers and mountains were. If there was no war, maybe he and Tian Feng would have set up a table of tea and talk for a while in the midst of the greenery and the flowers. Of course, if possible, he also wants to ask Luan Yi to talk about the past and the present...... What a joy it would be.

I heard that Luan Yi's game skills are not good, so it may be a good choice to play chess with Luan Yi. In the past, in the big game of chess in the world, he was defeated again and again, and he was able to win Luan Yi in the chess game, so as to earn back some face.

Thinking of this, he laughed at himself. But as soon as the smile crossed the corner of his mouth, he heard the sound of a few shrubs trembling from the peach mountain, and if he didn't listen carefully, he said that it was the wild beast that touched the forest, and it was not difficult to find that there was more than one shrub making a sound.

As we all know, wild animals such as tigers, black bears, and leopards in the mountains are mostly solitary travelers and do not hunt in groups. The only ones who like to travel in groups are wolves. Wolves are mostly active at night, and in order not to alarm their prey, they walk lightly and lightly, and they will never make such a loud noise. Therefore, it is impossible to hide in Momoyama from beasts, but people.

Frustrated to figure it out in the lightning, he shouted, "It's not good, there's an ambush!" Fight the enemy! ”

But his reaction was still a step too late, and he only heard a piercing gong sound, and a group of men and horses came out of the mountain. The leader wears a three-pronged purple and gold crown, a Xichuan red brocade and a hundred flowers robe, a beast-faced head-swallowing chain armor, and a delicate lion belt around the waist; With a bow and arrows with him, holding a halberd, he sat down and neighed the red rabbit horse--who was not Lu Bu!

"Uh...... How could Lu Bu be here! Frustrated, his face turned white. After thinking about it for a while, it became clear that after Lu Bu left Yijing, he did not go to Yuyang to chase Yuan Tan at all, but expected that Tian Feng and Fu Zhi would divide their troops to help him when they saw him leave. As a result, an ambush was set up halfway, and the superior forces were used to specifically intercept the reinforcements led by Fu Zhi.

"This plan is obviously from Guo Jia's handiwork again!" Frustrated, he looked up to the sky and sighed, "Guo Fengxiao is one step higher." I was so frustrated that I was defeated......"

As Fu Zhu said, Lu Bu's troops were originally several times his, and now he is waiting for work at ease, preparing for the enemy's unpreparedness, and with a fierce general like Lu Bu commanding the army, the war was doomed to the final outcome from the beginning.

Lu Buqin led the army to rush down from the mountain, Hao Meng rushed to the left, and Cao Xing rushed to the right; Cheng Lian and Wei Xu divided their troops into two roads and detoured from the back mountains on the east and west sides, and quickly completed the encirclement of the Fu Zhi army. With only one round of charge, the panicked Yuan army was scattered.

The war soon entered garbage time, and the morale of the desperate Yuan army plummeted, and they took the initiative to surrender.

Fu Zhu himself was captured alive by Lu Busheng. At the end of the battle, LΓΌ Bu led the army to a turn of direction, returned to the territory of Yijing, and set up camp in the south of the city.

At the same time, the 40,000 troops of the middle road of the church commanded by Luan Yi also arrived at the foot of Yijing City and set up camp in the north of the city. The two armies echoed north and south and surrounded Yijing City.

Tian Feng, who was guarding the city pass, saw Lu Bu leave and came back, and also sacrificed the flag of the frustrated man, and immediately guessed what happened to the frustrated man, and his heart suddenly cooled half.

Yuan Tan in Youzhou had less than 40,000 soldiers and horses, and Yuan Tan first led an army of 20,000 to flee to Yuyang. Later, Tian Feng was frustrated and gave Guo Jia's plan and went north to rescue Yuyang, but was intercepted by Lu Bu halfway and lost another 10,000 troops. Now there are less than 10,000 people left, but they are facing the siege of the 80,000-strong army of the church, and the form is not only not optimistic, it is simply on the verge of extinction. Luan Yi could rely on the superiority in strength to wantonly ravage the Yuan army guards stationed in Yijing City.

As Tian Feng thought, Luan Yi adopted a steady and steady approach in the process of attacking Yi Jing. He first had a large canal dug outside the city of Yijing to divert the water from the moat of Yijing to other places. Tian Feng stood at the head of the city and watched the church guards under the city talk and laugh every day under the escort of shield soldiers, but he did not dare to go out of the city to obstruct due to the serious shortage of troops. The moat watched as the water in the moat became less and less, and finally dried up.

Then he watched Lu Bu's Bingzhou Iron Cavalry begin to fill sandbags into the ditch more than three feet deep one after another. It took two full days for the moat ditch to be completely filled, and the outside of Yijing City became flat.

Surprisingly, Luan Yi stopped his actions at this time, and sent hundreds of Yuan soldiers in the church to various places outside the city, holding a loudspeaker and shouting outside the bow and arrow: "Surrender and don't kill", and detailed the preferential policies after defecting to the church, as well as all aspects of the superior life of the people in the diocese, and persuaded the Yuan soldiers in the city to surrender as soon as possible.

Admittedly, the Church's conditions for the expulsion of the descendant are tempting. After hearing the words of the old robe, many Yuan soldiers were itchy and wanted to go out of the city to surrender, but they were insightful by Tian Feng in advance. beheaded dozens of people in a row, and finally stopped the illusion of people with different thoughts.

After several days of persuasion without any effect, Luan Yi lost patience and decisively ordered the siege of the city.

To Tian Feng's surprise, after the three drums outside the city were completed, the church army did not swarm in unison. Just sent out to talk about thousands of armor soldiers, escorting more than a dozen carriages to the city gate.

These armorers were all dressed in heavy armor and held large shields more than seven feet long, and the tall horses responsible for pulling the carts also used iron armor to protect their vital points, and some of the exposed places were protected by thick cowhides, which can be said to be armed to the teeth.

Yuan Jun at the head of the city failed to cause any substantial damage to them after several rounds of projectiles, and watched the church guards pull the carriage under the city gate, and unhurriedly took off the reins of the war horse, piled more than a dozen carts at the entrance of the city, and calmly retreated.

At the time of the retreat, the guards held a peculiar wooden roller, shaped like a small spinning wheel, and retreated on one side and released the thread outwards on the other, until they returned to the church army 200 paces away.

At this moment, a shout came from among the church troops, "Ignite the fire!" The torch waved and ignited the thin line released by the wooden wheel, and the thin line instantly burst into flames, like a fire spirit that had found its prey, and jumped along the line.

Although Tian Feng didn't know what Luan Yi had loaded in the car under the city, he couldn't guess that it was definitely not a good thing without thinking about it. Scream "Not good! Hide to the side! ”

When the Yuan soldiers heard this, they ran away and quickly dodged away from the section of the city wall directly above the city gate. It was with Tian Feng's early warning that they were able to save their lives.

After a few breaths, the flames leapt under the city gates, igniting the cart full of earthen explosives. I heard a loud bang......
