84_84334As soon as the woman thought of this, she heard Zhao Ang say to the silver-armored man, "Why did Duke Chu say this? The last general really didn't dare to be, thinking that Liu Feng was already suspicious, and suspected General Hao for no reason, and later took advantage of General Hao's absence to wantonly eliminate dissidents and want to concentrate military power, even if the last general did not defect to Duke Chu, Xiao'er may not be able to escape this disaster. ”

At this time, Zhao Ang and Yin Feng already knew that although Hao Zhao was imprisoned, he still insisted on refusing to surrender, but they did not complain about Liu Qi, because they saw that Liu Qi had committed no crime against the people after the army entered the city, and Liu Qi personally ordered the soldiers to provide relief to the lonely and helpless people, and they had already had a good impression of Liu Qi, and since they had chosen to betray Liu Bei, they had no choice but to defect to Liu Qi.

Zhao Ang looked at the surprised gaze of his wife in front of him looking at Liu Qi, and hurriedly said embarrassedly: "I almost forgot to introduce it, this is Chu Gong, you have heard a lot about Chu Gong, so you don't need to introduce it again, right?" ”

Seeing his wife saluting Liu Qi, Zhao Ang pointed to his wife and said to Liu Qi: "This one is the wife of the last general, surnamed Wang, with a different name. ”

Liu Qi came from later generations, and naturally knew that this woman was a rare woman in the history of the Three Kingdoms who could endure humiliation and burden, strong and wise, and couldn't help but be in awe, and saluted: "I have admired my sister-in-law's name for a long time, and today I saw that it was really worth the trip, and the two virtuous nephews unfortunately died, Qi was deeply sorry, so he named them the Marquis of Guan Nei to commemorate it." ”

Zhao Ang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly prepared to thank him, but saw Wang Yi excuse himself and said: "Thank you Chu Gong for your kindness, but my Han has no such precedent, and the dog has no merit, how can he get this reward?" I also asked the Duke of Chu to take back the order, but our husband and wife did not dare to accept it. ”

Liu Qi couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "My sister-in-law has extraordinary knowledge, which is difficult for ordinary men to reach, which is really admirable." I wonder if my sister-in-law has any other requirements? As long as Lone can do it. Will try to be satisfied. ”

Wang thought for a moment, and then said: "The concubine heard that there is an army of ladies under the command of Duke Chu, and all the generals in the army are women. The concubine hopes to join the women's army and conquer the world for the Duke of Chu. One day in the future, I will personally kill the thief Liangshuang and avenge my son. ”

When Liu Qi heard this, he couldn't help but happily promise, appointing Wang Yi as the former army Sima of the Women's Army, and appointing Zhao Ang as the general of Hulie, the head of the Wu clan, and Pingxianghou, and allowed Zhao Ang's daughter Zhao Yue to be sent to Jingzhou College to study.

From the moment he broke through the city, Liu Qi had already ordered Ma Chao and Huang Zhong to lead the army to continue to chase and defeat the fleeing Liu Feng. They were required to keep a distance of less than 200 paces from Liu Feng, and to follow Liu Feng's army to attack the city he was about to enter.

Although Ma Chao and Huang Zhong's 110,000 troops are not as elite as Liu Qi's personal soldiers, they are also rare elite soldiers in the world, Ma Chao's cavalry and Qiang soldiers win with speed, and Huang Zhong's army is dominated by endurance, so this road is urgent, and there is no discomfort on both sides, but it is a little difficult to catch up with Liu Feng's army.

Although the army under Liu Feng's command is also considered elite, because Liu Feng wantonly eliminated dissidents in Wushi City, the army's morale has been lost. Moreover, Ma Chao and Qiang soldiers had a total of 50,000 iron cavalry chasing after them, plus there were 80,000 fierce infantry behind them, which made them feel as if they had a sharp sword hanging from their necks. There will be danger to life at any time, so where will these soldiers have the courage to fight? They all ran around like a swarm.

"Open the gates." Liu Feng's army was defeated and fled all the way, and ran wildly for more than 250 miles in two days and nights, and miraculously came to Linjing City.

But the guards at the head of the city actually asked, "Who called the door?" ”

Liu Feng couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, pointed to the guards on the head of the city and said, "Wang He, don't you even know your grandmother's son?" ”

Wang He heard Liu Feng's voice. glanced at Liu Feng fixedly, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "It turned out to be the eldest prince." Aren't you guarding the U clan? How did you get here? ”

After that, Wang He hurriedly opened the door.

Liu Feng saw that the city gate was wide open, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Immediately rode into the city gate, and immediately saw Ma Chao's 50,000 cavalry coming to the city in black.

At this time, nearly half of the sergeants of the army were crowded under the city gate, and they were rushing desperately towards the city gate like headless flies.

Liu Feng was already panicked, and shouted: "The enemy army is coming, quickly close the city gate." ”

Wang He also saw the powerful enemy army, and his face turned green with fright, and he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to close the city gate and pull up the drawbridge.

However, there were too many soldiers congested at the city gate, and it was impossible to close the city gate for a while, while Ma Chao's cavalry was eyeing from behind, and it seemed that they were about to come to the drawbridge.

"Arrows, arrows." At this time, Liu Feng couldn't take care of it so much, and hurriedly ordered.

"But there are our soldiers down there." Deputy General Su Shen couldn't help but hesitate and said.

"Didn't you see that the enemy army was driving the siege? If you waited for the soldiers under the city to come in, Ma Chao's army would have already entered the city, hmph, you lost Linjing, can you afford to be offended? My father asked me to keep the town stable, and all officials under 3,000 stone have the right to be killed, do you want to disobey the order? Liu Bao's color was pale, and he shouted at Su Shen.

Su Shen's face turned pale, and he had no choice but to accept Liu Feng's order and order the sergeant to release the arrows.

Seeing that the arrows were like flying locusts, the soldiers of the Qin army under the city all looked at their brothers in disbelief and let go of the arrows, and many soldiers died unwillingly, these dead soldiers were all wide-eyed, I don't know why they ran more than 200 miles with the main general, why they actually arrived in the city, but were ordered to be shot to death by the main general?

One by one, they all died without a blink!

Due to the effect of bows and arrows on the city, the soldiers were no longer congested, and the front of the city gate was filled with corpses, and it was empty.

The gates of the city had been closed, but the soldiers at the head of the city did not feel safe, but all had a sad feeling.

Most of them are elite soldiers in a hundred battles, have experienced many tough battles, and have experienced many life and death, but this kind of thing of their own people shooting arrows on their own people rarely occurs, although they also know that if they don't release arrows, the enemy army will definitely follow into the city, but this still can't make them relieved, they would rather fight to the death with the enemy army, and they are definitely not willing to do it to their brothers.

The soldiers at the head of the city are like this, and the soldiers under the city are even more heartbroken, they ran more than 200 miles with Liu Feng, but they didn't expect to suffer such an ending, which made their blood cold in an instant, and they understood that it was meaningless to follow such a general.

So these soldiers retreated one after another, and then threw down their weapons and surrendered to Ma Chao.

Ma Chao ordered people to settle these soldiers, but he led the army to the drawbridge and shouted: "Listen to the enemy army at the head of the city, you are now in a desperate situation, don't resist anymore, otherwise, what awaits you will be only a dead end, surrender quickly, but spare you from dying, otherwise, once the city is broken, you will regret it." ”

But he saw Liu Feng on the head of the city shouting loudly: "Ma Chao, you don't want to demagogue people here, the people on my city are the most loyal and brave soldiers, they would rather die than surrender, you want Linjing City, it's not impossible, if you have the ability, you can attack the city." Aren't you invincible? Why don't you show me how powerful you are? ”

Ma Chao has also fought a lot of battles with Liu Qi over the years, and he has seen a lot, so he naturally heard the radical plan in Liu Feng's words, if he had followed his past temper, he would have led the army to attack the city regardless of a qiē, but now he has the trust of the Duke of Chu and has been appointed as the assassin of Liangzhou, knowing that one of his orders is related to the great cause of the Duke of Chu, so he does not dare to have the slightest carelessness in his heart, no matter how Liu Feng shouts, he is never fooled.

About half an hour later, an army of 80,000 under Huang Zhong arrived and immediately organized soldiers to cut down trees and make siege equipment. At the same time, he ordered people to pile up mountains of earth and shoot upwards into the city.

Ma Chao's army of 50,000 continued to surround the city to prevent the enemy from sneaking out of the city.

Liu Feng could see clearly from the top of the city, but there was no other way except to prepare the equipment to defend the city day and night. During this period, he organized more than ten waves of people to go out of the city, ready to ask Chang'an for help, but no one was able to break out alive, which made the soldiers in the city even more worried.

Three days later, thousands of craftsmen in the army made hundreds of ladders, dozens of rushing cars, and more than 20 stone-throwing vehicles, the army from the west, south, and north of the project, leaving only the east gate not to fight, this is the most popular and extremely clever siege method, called the siege of three missing one, because to leave a way for the other party to live, which will make the opponent's resistance not so tenacious, if it is surrounded by four sides, it is easy to lead the enemy army to fight to the death in a desperate situation, will bring unnecessary losses to the besieging party.

Although with the absolute superiority of Liu Qi's army now, it can also wipe out the army in the city, but first, because it did not let his own side suffer unnecessary losses, and second, Liu Qi intended to leave Liu Feng's life, and other uses, so this time he adopted the tactics of encircling three and missing one.

Because Liu Qi's army occupies an absolute advantage in terms of strength, coupled with the role of encircling three and missing one, and because Liu Feng ordered to shoot his own army under the city before, the soldiers did not have to die at all, but it was only two hours of effort, Huang Zhong's siege army climbed to the top of the city and launched a fierce battle with Liu Feng's defenders.

"Retreat!" Seeing Huang Zhong's siege army besieging and killing his soldiers like a tiger descending from the mountain, Liu Feng had realized that he was no longer able to hold stability this time, and if he waited any longer, he was afraid that he would only have to die, so he had no choice but to order a retreat, leading 20,000 remnants to escape from the East City Gate and garrison Zhiqi County, Xinping County.
