Chapter 32 The siege of Youxian County is lifted
As soon as Liu Qi said this, he saw Huang Zhong sigh and said slowly: "If you want to kill, you can kill, why do you need to ask?" I, Huang Zhong, shot you with an arrow yesterday, and I know that I will die, so why should you humiliate me again? However, I hope that the general will be generous and spare the soldiers under my command, although they have shot many soldiers in your city, they are only following orders. ”
Liu Qi stepped forward with a smile, untied Huang Zhong, and then said softly: "Old General Huang, do you think that I Liu Qi looks like such a small-bellied person?" The general is a good general of the country, although he is nearly fifty years old, but the martyr is in his twilight years, and his heart is strong, when he can compare with the veteran of the Warring States Period, but it is a pity that Lian Po is suspicious of King Zhao Xiaocheng, resulting in unpaid ambitions, but the general is different, if the general does not give up, he is willing to submit to me, and he will be able to let the general show his genius and assist the country and the people. Doesn't the general want your hometown of Nanyang and even the entire Han family to end the war and live a peaceful life as early as I did with the people of Jingxiang? Doesn't the general want to support Sheji, leave a name in history, and seal his wife and son? ”
But seeing that Huang Zhong was stunned when he heard this, he fell to the ground, and said with tears: "Can the general be so tolerant, and the general has to have the people of the world in mind, and dare to obey his orders?" Alas, to tell the truth, after Zhong was captured, General Huo and Mr. Huang also persuaded each other, how could Naizhong accidentally injured the general yesterday, so he spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, I didn't expect the general to be able to tolerate the last general, the general's virtue is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea, and loyalty should serve as a death force to repay the general's great kindness. ”
Liu Qi hurriedly helped Huang Zhong up, and said with a smile: "General Huang's willingness to return to obedience is really a blessing for me in Jingzhou and a blessing for the Han family." ”
After a short pause, Liu Qi announced the appointment of Huang Zhong as the captain of the archery, responsible for the training of all archers.
Next, Liu Qi ordered Huo Jun to lead an army of 5,000 to defend the imperial city, and then ordered Wei Yan, Liu Shi and Huang Zhong to lead their soldiers to suddenly go out of the city at night, and be sure to break Liu Du and Zhao Fan's two armies and completely lift the siege of Yuxian.
The three of them immediately took the order and left, each prepared not to mention it.
Time flies quickly, in a blink of an eye, it is Jin Wuxi falling, Jade Rabbit Dongsheng, Liu Qi personally sent Wei Yan, Liu Shi and Huang Zhong to the city gate, for them to march, only to see the three generals are all gearing up, and the morale of the soldiers under his command is even higher, especially Huang Zhong and the Tuifeng battalion under his command, they are even more energetic, to show their real combat power to everyone, so as to save the future because they are soldiers and be despised by the brothers of his battalion.
In this battle, Wei Yan was responsible for attacking Liu Du's Lingling army, Huang Zhong was responsible for attacking Zhao Fan's Guiyang army, and Liu Shi was responsible for cutting off the connection between the two armies, so that they could not care for each other. Just waiting for Liu Qi to give an order, the three armies set off separately.
At this time, Liu Du and Zhao Fan were completely ignorant of this qiē, they still attacked the city according to the original plan during the day, and did not notice the abnormal changes in the north of the city at all.
After the dinner in the evening, the commanders of the two large battalions still arranged their inspections as usual, and then returned to their respective camps to rest. And because they knew that Liu Qi had been trapped in the city, and the defenders had suffered heavy damage, and even Liu Qi was wounded by an arrow yesterday, coupled with the fact that they had strong troops, they didn't expect that Yuxian would dare to rob the camp at night, so they all relaxed their guard.
At that time, it was already the end of October, although the winter in Changsha was not as cold as in the north, but at night it was still bitterly cold, making it difficult for those soldiers patrolling the camp to persevere.
At this moment, in the Guiyang Zhaofan military camp in the right sentry barracks, an arrow flew silently from a distance and hit the throat of the soldier on duty, who didn't even snort, and died on top of the watchtower.
Then another feathered arrow flew and shot out all the lanterns above the watchtower, and the whole camp became even darker.
Immediately after, an army was seen quietly approaching the camp under the leadership of a gray-bearded veteran.
That veteran is naturally Liu Qi's newly acquired brave general Huang Zhong, he led 5,000 soldiers to the camp gate, gently moved the antlers and other things outside the camp gate, and when the army entered the camp gate, he made people raise fire, shouted, and led the army to kill it.
The soldiers in charge of patrolling the camp were still drinking together, and when they suddenly heard the shouts of killing, their faces could not help but change greatly, and they hurriedly blew the horn in their hands, and spread their legs and rushed in the direction of the Chinese army, shouting loudly: "Enemy attack." ”
But before they could run two steps, they were already shot dead by the archers behind them, and they fell to the ground with unwilling eyes.
Huang Zhong took the lead, leading all the soldiers to kill directly in the direction of the Chinese army, and at the same time ordered Huang Can and several other military marquis to lead the soldiers under his command to set fire everywhere to increase the chaos of the camp.
Although he is a veteran, Huang Zhong took the lead, the god is majestic, leading the elite under his command, along the way to meet the gods and kill the gods, meet the Buddha and kill the Buddha, and kill all the soldiers who tried to block, for those who are far away, they greet with bows and arrows, and it didn't take long for them to kill a "blood road" and come to the front of the Chinese army tent.
Without the slightest hesitation, Huang Zhong entered the big tent of the Chinese army, danced his sword in a ball, and shouted: "Nanyang Huang Hansheng is here, and those who descend will not die." ”
As Huang Zhong broke into the tent of the Chinese army, the elite soldiers under his command also poured in, but these generals of his were well-trained after all, only half of them went in, and the other half stayed outside the tent, so as not to be set on fire by the enemy soldiers outside and cause unnecessary casualties.
Originally, Huang Zhong thought that the battle in the big tent would be very fierce, but the battle only lasted less than half an hour before it ended, and the remaining soldiers threw down their weapons and surrendered, until this time Huang Zhong did not know that Zhao Fan had already broken into the camp by himself, dressed up as an ordinary soldier, and escaped from the back door of the big tent under the protection of his own soldiers.
Huang Zhong couldn't help but be slightly disappointed, he was going to capture Zhao Fan alive in this battle, force him to surrender to the main general Liu Qi, and take the opportunity to occupy the entire Guiyang County, but he didn't expect that Zhao Fan to slip away so fast.
However, at this point, there was no way, Huang Zhong immediately ordered the soldiers who surrendered to surrender their former robes, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to gather the surrendered troops and count the spoils.
In this battle, Huang Zhong gathered more than 3,000 soldiers, countless weapons, grain and grass, in addition, he also killed more than 1,000 enemy soldiers, and the remaining more than 10,000 people either fled back to Guiyang with Zhao Fan, or fled to various places, which can be said to be a big victory.
"I only hate Zhao Fan's thief for escaping too fast, so I can't do all the work." On the one hand, Huang Zhong sent people to clean up the battlefield and appease the surrendered troops, and on the other hand, he sent people to inquire about Wei Yan's situation in the left camp.
Because although he and Wei Yan have known each other these days, they mainly attack and defend the city, and they have not seen Wei Yan's generals, so I don't know if Wei Yan is sure of this battle.
Within a moment, Huang Zhong got the news, Wei Yan led the cavalry to Liu Du's back camp gate, and broke in without even encountering the antlers, Wei Yan, like him, was also the first soldier, and soon defeated the other party, and the opponent's main general Liu Du was able to escape under the death battle of the deputy general Xing Daorong, but the Xing Daorong was killed by Wei Yan on the spot.
(In fact, Xing Daorong is a fictional Romance of the Three Kingdoms, even if Zhao Fan and Liu Du themselves were unknown whether they were Lingling Taishou and Guiyang Taishou at that time, but because of the lack of historical information, the right to remember them as a symbol, I hope that all book friends will not spray Ah.) )
Huang Zhong was silent for a moment after hearing the news, only then did he know that the generals under Liu Qi's account were indeed full of talents, and Wei Yan looked so young, but he didn't expect that he was also a person who was used to fighting, not only easily broke the enemy army, but even the other party beheaded one of the other party's generals, and it seemed that this credit was even greater than his own.
However, Huang Zhong was not jealous, but sincerely admired Wei Yan's talent, and admired Liu Qi even more for being able to tap such an excellent talent.
As for the pro-soldier general Liu Shi, who looked like an ordinary general, Huang Zhong originally thought that he was just seeking a high position by virtue of his relationship with Liu Qi, but today the other party's appearance also shocked him.
In this battle, Liu's team was like an iron and bronze wall, firmly blocking the impact of nearly 10,000 troops from both sides, so that they had no possibility of meeting at all, and in the end they could only flee in despair, or chose to surrender.
In fact, where does Huang Zhong know? Liu Shi was originally just an ordinary soldier, but in the nearly half a year that he followed Liu Qi, under the influence of famous generals such as Liu Qi, Wei Yan, Pei Qian, Yu Ban, and Xu Shu, he has gone through such a long time of training, and gradually has the potential of an excellent general. It is precisely because he is Liu Qi's personal soldier that Liu Shi never dares to slack off in the slightest, because he believes that as the main general's personal soldier, he must be the most elite guard battalion.
So these days, Liu Shi is very humble to ask the generals to teach the method of military training, especially the magical training method learned from Liu Qi, which makes this army as stable as Mount Tai, even if it encounters a sudden attack, he can ensure that these soldiers can quickly dress up and line up before counting a hundred numbers, such an efficiency is difficult to achieve even those famous generals today.
"Hehe, General Huang, this time we have really gained a lot, thousands of soldiers, countless grains, grass, weapons, and armor, and it has relieved the siege of my county for more than a month, which is really happy. Let's go and report to the general. And Brother Liu Shi, hehe, after seeing your leaders today, I really ended what is called 'immovable as a mountain' in the Art of War, hehe, this is to say, this sneak attack on the enemy camp, brother, you should be the first to blame. ”
Wei Yan pulled Huang Zhong and Liu Shi, laughed, and then ordered the soldiers to transport the grain and grass equipment, and escorted the troops into the city.
At this time, Wei Yan, Huang Zhong and Liu Shi all saw that Liu Qi was personally at the gate of the city to greet him, his face was full of smiles, although his face was pale because of excessive blood loss, but the whole person looked radiant, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart, and they all sprouted a pride of "the one who is a confidant dies".
Xiangyang, Zhennan General's Military Division's Mansion.
Cai Mao heard that Liu Qi led the army to occupy Youxian County, and couldn't help but sneer, and said to his son Cai Ling: "Waste is waste, Liu Qi, this kid is whimsical, there are not many troops, but he still dares to divide the troops, and he is still alone, directly occupying the strategic place of Youxian, this is simply looking for death, hehe, Changsha's Du Raid is not incompetent, even the old man tried his best to recruit without success, and Huang Zhong is brave, this time Liu Qi's waste does not die there is a good thing, This kind of kid who has no strategic mind is still trying in vain to pacify Jingnan. If he can pacify Jingnan, my Cai Mao's name will be written backwards. ”
At this moment, Cai Mao suddenly received a letter from Zhang Yun, and couldn't help laughing: "It must be the news of the defeat of that waste, maybe it is the news that he died in battle, hehe, everyone is waiting to celebrate with the crown." ”
But after only reading a few words, his face turned pale, and he patted the case hatefully and said, "How is this possible? How could this waste hold the lonely city of Yuxian County? Zhang Xian has transferred an army of seventy or eighty thousand! It's a big joke that so many troops can't capture a county, and Zhang Yun, a stupid person, the assassin sent out was actually subdued by Liu Qi, a waste, could it be that his head was squeezed flat by the crack in the door? I will immediately write to Zhang Yun and ask him to continue to send assassins to assassinate the waste Liu Qi, no matter what the cost, I will not let him succeed. ”
After Cai Mao finished speaking, he immediately wrote a letter and ordered his henchman to send it to Jiangling in the starry night.
