There was an interception in front and a chasing soldier in the back, Yang Yanzhao could only urge the horse forward and fight to the death: "Sons, rush over with me!" ”

The spear in his hand rolled up a ball of silver light, flew up and down, and there were more than 20 battles, and the killed Cao Shen retreated, and the Han army behind him swarmed like a tide, rushing through a bloody road.

Turning his head to look behind him, there were still four or five thousand soldiers in the encirclement, Yang Yanzhao did not rush to leave, but loudly urged the soldiers to go first and cut off by himself.

"Soldiers, go quickly, Ben will be broken!"

Yang Liulang, who was stained with blood, roared angrily, urged his horse forward, and rushed forward against one of the Wei generals who rushed over, and the two weapons stabbed at each other at the same time.

With a "poof", the spear in Yang Yanzhao's hand pierced the opponent's throat, and the opponent's horse lance hung down about a foot away from Yang Yanzhao's chest.

With Yang Yanzhao's bloody battle to the death, the encirclement of Cao's army could not be closed, and a steady stream of Han troops escaped from the gap and fled in the direction of Shouchun.

In the midst of the chaos, Dian Wei charged on foot with a pair of large iron halberds, and was invincible everywhere he went.

"Eat me with a halberd!"

Seeing that he was only a few dozen zhang away from Yang Liulang, Dian Wei roared angrily, jumped forward with an arrow, and threw a forty-pound iron halberd towards Yang Liulang.

"Ding-dong...... Dian Wei's special attribute 'Evil Come' is activated, with +3 Force, 99 Base Force, +1 Twin Iron Halberd, and the current Strength has risen to 103! ”

"Ding-dong...... Dian Wei's special attribute 'Halberd Throwing' is activated, Force +7, and the current Force is up to 110! ”

I saw this black iron casting. The big iron halberd with a dark light was wrapped in the wind, and it roared towards Yang Liulang like a cannonball.

"That's a lot of strength!"

Yang Liulang watched six ways and listened to all directions. Suddenly, the wind whistled, and a huge weapon swept towards the top of the head like a hurricane. I didn't have time to think about it, so I hurriedly waved my gun to block.

It's just that Dian Wei's blow came too quickly, and Yang Liulang had just reacted, and the lightning-like iron halberd had already slashed through his chest, tearing through the armor, and the torn flesh and blood on his chest were blurred.

The halberd blade on the other side cut deep into the neck of the war horse, and even the people and horses fell to the ground, and before they could get up, a large number of heavily armored soldiers with swords and guns had already surrounded them. Shouted in unison, "Surrender or die!" ”

"The big husband can be killed, but not humiliated!"

Yang Liulang struggled to get up from the ground, brandishing a twisted spear to fight with Cao Jun, forcing Cao Jun to retreat one after another.

"Get on your knees and be bound!"

With a roar, Dian Wei rushed into the crowd like a whirlwind, and the iron halberd in his hand suddenly hooked Yang Liulang's spear, dragged it into his arms suddenly, stretched out his foot and stumbled on the ground, and threw Yang Liulang to the ground when he landed. stepped out with his left foot and stomped on Yang Liulang's back fiercely. Drink the order left and right: "Come on, I'm tied up!" ”

Although Yang Liulang was captured by mistake, the Han army of Gongwei Fuli fled by at least six or seven thousand, and fled all the way south. Shi Jin and Cao Shen chased after him. In the middle of the way, they encountered the rescue of 5,000 cavalry led by Ma Dai, and after a scuffle, they each withdrew their troops.

I heard that Yang Yanzhao was captured. Ma Dai retreated into Shouchun to defend the army, and on the other hand, he sent a messenger to report to Xue Rengui stationed in Ruyin. Inform him of the bad news that Fu Li was lost and Yang Yanzhao was captured. Ask him to make up his mind quickly. If Shouchun was lost again, Cao Cao's army would be able to march under the city of Hefei, which was only a hundred miles away from the mouth of the Xu, and the situation would deteriorate when it was united with Cai Mao and Huang Zu.

The battle of Fuli came to an end, and Cao Cao led more than 100,000 troops to flock across the border.

Dian Wei escorted Yang Liulang to see Cao Cao, and ordered him to kneel: "When you see my Emperor of Great Wei, why don't you kneel quickly?" ”

Yang Liulang held his head high and reprimanded angrily: "A traitor and a traitor, and dare to call himself the emperor? Sooner or later, he will be captured by my Eastern Han Dynasty army, beheaded all over the house, and his bones will be scattered! ”

Cao Cao was furious: "What a guy who doesn't know the times, where is the knife and axeman?" Push me out and cut it, and pay tribute to Xiahou Yuan's spirit in the sky! ”

"No!"

Outside the tent, four or five majestic and high-spirited big men agreed, poured into the handsome tent, and were about to drag Yang Liulang out to sacrifice the flag.

"Wait!"

At the critical moment, Fan Zeng stood up to stop Cao Cao's decision.

Cao Cao's anger did not subside: "Why did Fan Qing intercede for this Han general, could it be that he had an old relationship with him?" ”

Fan Zeng stroked his beard, shook his head and smiled: "No, no, no, Weichen and the Yang family are neither old acquaintances nor old friends, and they have nothing to do with each other." The reason why the minister prevented His Majesty from killing Yang Yanzhao was that I heard that their Yang family was full of loyalty to Liu Wei. Most of Yang Ye's eight sons died in Yanmen, and only Liulang Yanzhao and Qilang Yanji are left, and Yang Yanzhao's cousin Yang Zaixing died in Changbanpo even more tragically. His Majesty can use Yang Yanzhao to force Yang Ye to defect, or he can put forward conditions to Liu Wei to let him ransom people, so that Liu Wei will not be a person inside and out! ”

Yang Yanzhao scolded: "You traitors and traitors will be ruined sooner or later!" The husband can be killed but not humiliated, please kill me quickly! ”

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, and finally agreed to Fan Zeng's proposal, and sent a partial general to lead five hundred cavalry to escort Yang Liulang back to his hometown and Yecheng to be imprisoned, and slowly bargain with Liu with him. If Liu Wei agrees to his conditions, he will give him an inch; If Liu Wei does not agree, he will be infamous for ignoring loyalty.

After the county seat of Fuli was captured, the Han army's defense line collapsed, and it was a smooth road to Shouchun in the south, and Cao Cao personally led the main army to Shouchun.

Ordered Cao Wenzhao, Han Baohu, Sima Cuo, Shi Jin and others to divide their troops to attack and plunder the counties, and within three days, they connected more than ten counties such as Xiaqi County, Shansang, Jiaoxian, Longkang, Hongxian, and Yicheng, and the forward approached Xia Cai, and there were only 80 miles left from Shouchun.

The north wind hunted, the sky was gloomy, the wind swept in, the withered grass in the wilderness flew with the whirlwind, and it could not land for a long time, and the heaven and earth were full of slaughter.

In Ruyin County, after Xue Rengui received Ma Dai's letter for help, he couldn't sit still.

At present, Cao Ren and Sima Yi are leading 50,000 soldiers and horses to target Runan, as long as they give up Ruyin to the east to defend Shouchun, Cao Ren is bound to drive straight into the city of Runan.

Runan is the new Yuzhou county seat set up by the imperial court in recent years, under the jurisdiction of Nanyang, Runan, Lujiang, Huainan four counties, and Runan and Nanyang are large population counties, after Yuzhou Thorn Shi Xie An for many years of continuous development, Runan has recovered the heyday of seven or eight tenths, the population size of the Pingyu City exceeds 100,000.

If Runan is taken by Cao Cao, its strategic significance is not under Shouchun, first, it can greatly increase the population under Cao Wei's rule, and second, it can greatly boost the morale of Cao Wei's army.

The decisive battle of Cao Wei, the Wei army attacked, the Han army defended, from east to west, from Qingzhou to Jingzhou, stretching for two thousand miles, there were nine important military towns, namely Licheng, Linzi, Pengcheng, Peixian, Xiapi, Shouchun, Hefei, Runan, Wancheng.

So far, Cao Wei's offensive has lasted for more than two months, and although he has plundered countless land, most of the counties he has captured are inconsequential counties, which have not had much impact on the overall situation.

Among the nine major towns, Wei Yan and Wang Meng jointly guarded the gate of Qingzhou; Qin Qiong and Xu Da inflicted heavy losses on the Wei army in Peixian and Pengcheng, and shot Xiahoudun to give Cao Wei a head drink. If Runan is lost, this will be the first time that Cao Wei has captured an important Han town, and a great victory in the real sense is enough to boost the morale of the army.

"Runan must not be lost!"

Xue Rengui slammed his fist on the table, but the hateful thing was that there were only 35,000 soldiers and horses left under his command, and in the face of Cao Wei's main force marching like a tide, he was really lacking in skills.

For Xue Rengui, Runan can't be lost. But Shouchun is not only the governance of Huainan, but also the gateway to defend Jinling, which cannot be lost. Once Shouchun is lost, Cao Wei can drive south, and the army will be in the important town of Hefei, and there will only be 100 miles left from the mouth of the water, and when the time comes, he will meet the Cai and Huang rebels, and he can almost point his sword at Jinling, which is a responsibility that Xue Rengui cannot bear.

"When will help arrive?" Xue Rengui had a gloomy face and asked the staff under the tent.

The staff replied: "Back to the general's words, in the early morning, a messenger came from Wancheng to report: although it was attacked by Yang Su and Yu Ban, but Yue Dudu won a small victory in Bowangpo a few days ago, and had sent Lu Meng, Yue Yun and Huo Jun to bring 40,000 troops to Runan for reinforcements, and it is expected that they will arrive at Runan City in about five days. ”

Xue Rengui breathed a sigh of relief, clenched his fists and said: "Okay, Yue Pengju really lives up to me, and at this critical juncture, he can still send 40,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce, which is enough righteousness!" ”

"Who will the Lord be?" Lu Junyi, who was next to him, heard the staff put Lu Meng in front and asked suspiciously.

The staff arched his hand and replied: "If you return to General Lu, it is said that it is Lu Meng!" ”

"Lu Meng?" Lu Junyi and Ma Zhong glanced at each other, not quite understanding why Yue Fei chose Lu Meng as the main general, instead of his son Yue Yun?

Xue Rengui stroked his beard and muttered: "Since Yue Pengju chose Lu Meng, it proves that he has something worthy of Yue Dudu's attention, so let's not be suspicious." As long as Yue Yun's reinforcements arrive in Runan, we will abandon Ruyin and march towards the starry night of Shouchun. Defend this Huainan core and wait for Kong Ming's reinforcements to arrive, it is the day of the counterattack! ”

After making a decision, Xue Rengui immediately sent an arrow to the scouts: "Hurry up and rush to Shouchun, order Ma Dai to defend Shouchun to the death, even if you fight to the last man, you must not give up your position!" The city is in the people, and the city is dead! ”

"No!"

The messenger agreed, received the order and urged the horse out of the city, and galloped away in the direction of Ben Shouchun.

Yue Fei's reinforcements were on the way, which made Xue Li breathe a sigh of relief, and he paused and asked his staff again: "What is the current situation on Wuguan Huo's side?" ”

The staff replied: "Huangfu Song led Ding Yanping and Deng Yu to attack Wuguan, and fought with General Huo Quji outside Wuguan City. General Ran Min beheaded thirteen generals of the Western Han Dynasty, and Fan Lihua, Joan of Arc and other female generals marched in three ways, broke the emperor Fu Song, and has now broken through Shangluo Pass, leaving only 400 miles away from Chang'an. ”

Xue Rengui shook his head and sighed: "It seems that Huo Quji is expected to break through Chang'an and win a great success." At this time, it is not good to force him to divide his troops to rescue, so let's grit our teeth and wait for Zhuge Kongming's reinforcements to land in Hefei! (To be continued.) )
