Chapter 90: The Fire of the Ancient City, the Source of Chaos
On the city of Runan, a general wearing a silver helmet with iron soap, a fish-scale shutter armor, and a plain blue battle robe climbed on a high place to watch the raging fire of the ancient city. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Behind him stood two groups of men, five on the left, the first of whom was eight feet tall, wearing a elytra helmet, a shuttered armor, and a plain robe, no more than thirty years old, with a mustache on his mouth. If Liu Qian is here, he must recognize it. Who? Knife Sun Jian, Sun Wentai. There were four people standing behind him, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Zu Mao, and Zhou Tai.
Sun Jian said in the back: "General, that should be the ancient city of Pengtuo's land of grain hoarding!" Presumably, it was General Pingnan who sent troops to support us, and they burned their food and salaries first by detouring there! ”
The person who led this is Zhu Jun and Zhu Gongwei.
What Wentai said is extremely true. Without grain and grass, it seems that Peng Tuo does not have a few days of gas. Zhaoyu, ordered the three military academies to assemble in the military field. Zhu Jun decisively ordered at this time.
Besides, in the camp of Pengtuo, in the atrium tent. Peng Tuo stood behind the handsome case, his face was full of anger, and he slapped the table case in a rage: "What did Peng Quan do?" A fire ignited in the place where grain was hoarded, but it was child's play?! ”
He hadn't thought it was a sneak attack.
Instead, someone among the three people who came to take refuge in him said: "Dashuai, it can't be that the Pingnan army made a detour to attack the ancient city, right?!" Either way, we're going to send someone to help. "The person who spoke was looking big.
General Guan Hai said on the side: "If the enemy attacks the ancient city and burns the grain this time, the generals sent by the Pingnan Army will definitely be good." Otherwise, with Peng Quan's martial arts, three or five ordinary people are not opponents. ”
Peng Tuo waved his hand and said, "Taichu, you immediately set up five thousand elite soldiers and hurried to the ancient city." Let's see what's going on? ”
Liu Pi received the order and turned around and went out.
Seeing Liu Pi go out, Yu Poison stood up and said: "Peng Dashuai, I have seen a fierce general in the southern army of Naping, who fought with Sanying for dozens of rounds without winning or losing, and he is very brave!" He reported his name and surname Zhang Mingfei Yide, and he was armed with a Zhangba snake spear gun, and he was a general in the army. If he goes to the ancient city, Ling Di is afraid that there will be more than one luck. However, once our army loses food and grass, the morale of the army is bound to be in turmoil. There is no food and grass in the army, and within three days, even if the enemy does not come to attack us, our soldiers will also mutiny. ”
"Yes! Commander, why don't we retreat now! Rushed to Wancheng and the god envoy Zhang Dashuai rounded. Guan Hai said on the side.
"I'm afraid it's too late for us to retreat now. Then Zhu Jun should be gathering troops now. If our army does not move, as long as he retreats, he will definitely go out of the city and attack him. Peng Tuo said analytically.
At this moment, a scout horse ran in from outside: "Report to the marshal, yesterday afternoon the enemy captured Yecheng, and the general of our army, Guan Luo, was killed, and the soldiers under his command surrendered either dead, and none of them escaped." The fire of the ancient city was set by the enemy. General Peng Quan was engaged with the enemy in the city, and General Liu Pi's reinforcements were hurrying to the rescue. ”
"Let's find out and report again."
This scout horse led the order. A scout horse ran in: "Report to the commander, the assembly drum sounded in Runan City." ”
"Revisit." Peng Tuo waved his hand and said, "In the current situation, our army must take Runan within three days." Otherwise, our army will be defeated. In that case, we might as well be ...... like this."
Yu Poison, Guan Hai and the others nodded when they heard this.
Guan Hai went down and ordered the 30,000 Yellow Turban Army and began to pack up the camp tent items, apparently to be transferred. However, after the more than 30,000 soldiers brought by Yu Poison and the three of them, they simply packed up the camp tent and headed west, which should be towards Wancheng......
The changes in the Yellow Turban Camp naturally attracted the attention of Zhu Jun and others in Runan City.
The 70,000 troops in Runan City had been assembled, and Zhu Jun did not immediately arrange the battle plan, but waited. To wait for a suitable time, he wants to wipe out these Yellow Turban Army.
The scouts he sent and the scouts of Pengtu brought the news back almost simultaneously. He didn't know much more than Peng Tuo. However, he believes that the burning of Peng's grain and grass is irreparable. Therefore, he was waiting for Peng Tuo's troops to mutiny, so he sent a number of scouts to observe the changes in Peng Tuo's camp.
At this time, the Malay newspaper reported that the camp of Pengtuo was packing up the camp tent.
Zhu Jun immediately took Sun Jian, Zhang Chao and others to the top of the city tower, and by the faint light before dawn, he saw a dark crowd in the Pengtuo camp in the distance.
Slowly, the crowd in the interior of the camp was divided into three parts, one part began to set off to the west, some part began to set off to the east, and some were still busy.
What are they doing here? Do they know that all the grain and grass have been burned? There was no food available, and the troops were sent to move or retreat? Or is there something else going on? The army heading west won't be the one that went before it went to reinforce it!
"Wentai, you immediately order 20,000 horses and go to pursue this Yellow Turban army heading west. Be sure to support the Nanping army in the ancient city. Zhu Jun immediately instructed Sun Jian.
Sun Jian took Cheng Pu and the four of them and went down to light up the people. went out of the city to pursue Yu Poison and others.
They didn't say anything, but Liu Pi hurriedly rushed to the direction of the ancient city with 5,000 soldiers.
Outside the ancient city, the road leading to Runan is lined with lush bushes. Tie Jia and Fan Jian led two battalions of soldiers to hide in these bushes, enduring mosquito bites, and some soldiers had all bags on their thighs. However, after several months of war and the edification of the military discipline of the Pingnan Army, the willpower of these soldiers is no longer comparable to that of those Yellow Turban soldiers, and they all gritted their teeth and persevered. I just secretly swore in my heart that I must teach those reinforced Yellow Turban Army a good lesson later.
More than thirty miles away, Liu Pi took an hour to take the five thousand soldiers under his command into the ambush circle of Tie Jia and Fan Jian.
That Xu Chu had already lined up with three new battalion soldiers waiting for him there! As soon as he saw them enter the ambush circle, Xu Chu didn't answer, and waved his big knife and beat the drums. Xu Chu, Tie Jia and Fan Jian were killed at the same time.
The Yellow Turban Army was in chaos, and many soldiers scattered for their lives. Liu Pi was even more panicked in his heart. The enemy has set a trap and is waiting for them to come and drill, it seems that Peng Quan is more than lucky this time! He mingled with the soldiers and wanted to command a counterattack. However, the Yellow Turban soldiers are a rabble, where can anyone listen to his command! Even though he killed several soldiers in a row, he did not stop the soldiers from escaping.
That Xu Chu had already seen Liu Pi clash left and right in the chaotic army, and killed several Yellow Turban soldiers with several knives, rushed behind Liu Pi, waved a big knife, and with a "snap", he slapped Liu Pi off the horse. Several soldiers poured out from behind him and tied Liu Bi, he put the knife on Liu Bi's neck, and said with a smile: "Quickly order, those who surrender will not be killed!" Otherwise, Lao Tzu will kill you! ”
Where was there room for refutation at this time, Liu Pi shouted loudly: "Brothers, surrender!" ”
The volunteers on the side also shouted: "The head of the thief is ambushed, surrender and don't kill!" ”
It's just that now the Yellow Turban soldiers are either fleeing or dying, and there are only forty percent left. When they saw that Liu Bi was captured alive, the already small fighting spirit was gone, and the soldiers next to the road still took advantage of this opportunity to escape into the bushes.
Xu Chu and the others didn't let anyone chase them, but just looked at the people at the scene with fierce eyes. Seeing that the surrounded Yellow Turban soldiers threw down their weapons one by one and surrendered, Xu Chu instructed Fan Jian to escort a group of captives to the ancient city, leaving people to clean up the battlefield.
The whole battle ended without more than a stick of incense.
Back in the ancient city, Xu Chu asked people to escort Liu Pi over for questioning. After some inquiry, he knew that Peng Tuo didn't seem to know anything about the situation here.
Knowing that the grain and grass were all robbed by Xu Chu and others, Liu Bi knew that in this battle, Peng Tuo and other Yellow Turban troops were afraid that they would be more than lucky. saw that Xu Chu didn't seem to have any intention of killing him. The kid suddenly knelt on the ground: "Thank you for the general's grace of not killing, and I am willing to surrender to sincerity, and serve the dogs and horses for the general's attack on the Pengtuo camp outside Runan." ”
Xu Chu looked at Liu Pi, saw his sincere face, knew that he really wanted to surrender, and said: "Yingchuan Zhao Hong has already surrendered to our army before, if you surrender to our army this time, I hope you can do what you just said." Now go outside and organize your soldiers and go to the camp for the vanguard. You said that you were invincible, so you fled back to deliver the letter. Our army then arrived"
"The last will obey." Liu Bi immediately nodded in agreement.
Xu Chu asked someone to loosen his bonds.
Liu Pi took back the broadsword and horses, beckoned the remnants of the remaining more than 3,000 people, and explained the precautions a little. So they went back the way they came.
Xu Chu did not delay time, and immediately ordered the people in his department. After Liu Pi took people away, he took more than 5,000 people to Runan.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and Yu Poison, Zhang Baiqi and Li Damu rushed with more than 30,000 people unhurriedly, and happened to have a meeting with Liu Bi.
Listening to Liu Bi's explanation according to Xu Chu's explanation, Yu Poison looked at the appearance of these soldiers again, and was a little suspicious in his heart. To say that this kid is not only stubborn, but also has a bad heart, but also has a lot. After several temptations, he was even more convinced that Liu Pi's words were false. Having made up his mind in his heart, he squeezed the curved head crutch in his hand.
However, Liu Pi originally had a ghost in his heart, and when he saw this dry monkey again, he asked this and that. He saw the monkey's suspicions, and he also had an extra heart, and clenched the big knife in his hand.
Yu Xuan suddenly said: "General Liu, you dare to surrender the Han army and come back to deceive me?" ”
"Haha!" Liu Pi's face changed slightly, and he immediately returned to his original state, laughed to cover up the past, and pointed at Yu Poison: "Mr. is originally a person from outside the party, and this time he came to help me." Sir is still here, how can he surrender to the enemy? ”
"I'm afraid that the general will be captured by the enemy, and I am afraid that he will suffer from the punishment of the rod, so he will take refuge in the enemy, right?" Yu Poison squinted at Liu Bi.
The corners of Liu Bi's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart that this puppet was so difficult to deal with, and he had to find a way to kill him. He thought to himself, and said: "The enemy army is chasing behind, why don't you go back with my husband, and how about my husband help me win back for a while?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Xu Chu's team behind him came out not far away.
At this time, Yu Poison also paid attention to Xu Chu's team. Liu Pi turned his horse to Yu Poison's side, pointed at Xu Chu with his hand, and said, "Sir, this person is very powerful!" Why don't you and I fight together? ”
A contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of Yu Poison's mouth, and he turned his face away and ignored Liu Bi at all. It seemed as if Liu Bi's words had not been heard to him at all.
This turn of face gave Liu Bi a chance. Liu Pi raised the knife slightly. It seems that he is going to shoot the horse to fight, who knows that he is actually ......
What exactly does Liu Bi want to do? Are the 5,000 soldiers under Xu Chu's command better than the nearly 30,000 soldiers of others? In what form did this battle end? This is a melee, a battle that is more chaotic than Li Yunlong's Zaozhuang County War, please continue to look down.
