Chapter 415 besieged Pi Sima, and guarded the city Guo Xiahou in blood

However, he said that he escaped from the encirclement of Xiahou Ba, Cheng Xi found that Ling Hu Shao and Cheng He were missing, and he felt sad in his heart, and felt that he had only one percent of the 20,000 troops left, and he was ashamed for a while, and he wanted to draw his sword and kill himself.

Fortunately, Ren Xian's eyes were quick and stopped him: "General, don't be like this!" Maybe they escaped somewhere else! Guo Yuan and Kong Yi also persuaded them on the side.

Cheng Xi kept his grief and indignation and led everyone to move forward slowly.

It seems that God has mercy, so of course Hu Shao and Cheng He escaped, and even brought more than 3,000 soldiers and horses.

They hid on the side of a hill, and when they saw Cheng Xi and the others from afar, they were overjoyed for a while, and they came out of the darkness one after another, and went towards the main general Cheng Xi.

At first glance, Cheng was overjoyed and led everyone to rush over.

The five generals all rushed out of the encirclement, Cheng Xi felt a little comforted in his heart, and tightly held the hands of Ling Hushao and Cheng He and said: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" ”

Guo Yuan and the others also asked, "Why did you two run in front of us?" ”

Cheng He replied: "When the general took you to fight with the general of the Han army, the two of us were surrounded by several generals of the Han army. I really didn't expect that the goalkeeper of the central part of the Han Army would fight alone with the two of us, without falling behind at all, which is really amazing. If it weren't for a few guards beside us, I'm afraid that the two of us would have really been captured by the goalkeepers of the people's teeth. ”

Cheng Xi asked, "But the person who planted the flag behind him?" ”

Cheng He and Ling Hu Shao both nodded and replied, "Yes, especially the one with three flags behind it!" ”

"I once remembered that Sima Dudu said that the Han army was organized into a battalion, a battalion into a battalion, a battalion into a regiment, and then a division and brigade. The general of the battalion is called the commander, and his dress is similar to that of the general of our army, but there are three command flags behind him; His lieutenant will be the deputy commander, and two flags will be planted behind his back. The generals below the Han military camp have all been trained in firearms, and their martial arts are not worse than those of our generals! It's no wonder that you two are drawn! "Cheng Xi is still a battle-hardened general in the end, and he knows more than them by hearsay.

A few people chilled for a moment, and then led the defeated soldiers in the direction of Rencheng.

Xiahou Ba sent a regiment of Wang Qiang's troops to clean up the battlefield, and then led his troops back to the city.

Back in the city, Xiahou Ba arranged for Yang Kan to settle the wounded and temporarily put the captured Wei troops into prison. After that, he returned to the mansion with Li Xue and Zhuo An to discuss the future.

Li Xue, the cavalry general, asked: "General, the Wei army was defeated in this battle, and Sima Zhongda will definitely not give up." If he personally leads the army to come, he will be in danger! ”

When Xiahou Ba heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he said: "Yes, a certain person quickly sent a messenger to Xuzhou to report to the governor. ”

Zhuo Anjin said: "There is a fast horse named 'Junli', which can make my son Zhuo Lan go to Xuzhou to meet the governor with a letter. ”

"That's great!" Xiahou was overjoyed. You must know that Jun Li is a good horse in a million, and a god horse who travels thousands of miles a day!

Xiahou Ba then wrote a letter and handed it to Zhuo An.

Besides, Sima Yi was furious when he saw Cheng Xi returning from the defeated army.

Cheng Xi and the others who were kneeling below trembled one by one, and they touched their heads to the ground, and they didn't dare to make any more noise.

"Cheng Xi, when you asked for the order to go on the expedition, the old man repeatedly told him not to be careless, our army just can't tolerate the slightest mistake to bring about the blow of failure! Are you convicted of sin? Sima Yi slapped the stunned wood and asked sharply.

Cheng Xi said in a low voice: "The last general will be guilty!" Due to carelessness at a certain time, our army fell into the enemy's ambush, which directly led to this defeat. The last will be punished! ”

Sima Yi turned his head to Xun Xu, the supervising army, and asked in a deep voice: "Xun supervising the army, how should I deal with it according to the law?" ”

Xun Xu, the third son of Xun Yu. The official worships the general and protects the army in the general. has been controlled by Sima Yi for a long time, and has a good relationship with Sima Yi in private. On this expedition, he recommended himself to be a prisoner.

"Kill according to the law!" Xun Xu said with a serious face.

A general who had already been friends with Cheng Xi next to him stepped forward to intercede for Cheng Xi: "Governor, keep people under the knife!" It is not good to kill the general before the battle, it is better to let him wear the guilt and make meritorious service! ”

Sima Yi looked at everyone and said: "If the army has no order, it will be chaotic, and if the country cannot do it, it will fall." There is no military law to enforce the march and war, so how can the three armies serve their orders? ”

General Zhenwu Sun Li stepped forward and said, "Governor, General Cheng is indeed cautious in this battle, but he is not slack in military discipline. Therefore, the punishment can be judged at the discretion, dare to ask Xun Jianjun, can there be such an example? ”

Sun Li's question is well documented. In the past, Xiahou Dun led troops to fight Guan Yu, but he was also defeated because of lack of caution. It was Xun Xu's father, Xun Yu, who was not slack in military discipline and sentenced him to punishment as appropriate.

Xun Shu was stunned for a moment, came to his senses, and then walked to Sima Yi's side, attached to his ear and whispered: "Governor, according to the law, you should be killed." However, what the generals said is also true, and today is the time to employ people, if you cut the generals before the battle, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the generals! ”

Sima Yi's face didn't move, and said: "Since all the generals have interceded for you, the death penalty can be avoided, and it is unforgivable to be punished!" Come on, drag them out, and beat them with twenty sticks each! ”

Cheng Xi and the others are also tough guys, and they said: "Thank you for the grace of the governor not to kill!" "There was not a single one who begged for mercy.

Cheng Xi and others went down to be punished, and did not mention it for the time being, but said that Sima Yi and others continued to discuss the matter of conquest of Xiapi.

Xun Shu said: "Our army's 150,000 troops have entered Xuzhou and captured Rencheng and Changlu counties. There are only 20,000 soldiers and horses guarding it, and the governor should lead heavy troops to attack it! Otherwise, Dong Zibo, the son of the Dong splitting valve, would definitely lead the troops of Xuzhou to help. When the time comes, it will be difficult to capture Pi again! ”

"Gongqi (Xun Xuzi), what he said is extremely true!" Sima Yi nodded, Xun Xu's words obviously said that his heart went up, and then said, "That Dong Zibo is said to be a leader among the second-generation generals of the Han Army, and he is quite tactful. He was ordered to take the post of Xuzhou Protector, obviously because the Emperor of Han wanted to buy the sons of Xiahou Miaocai for his use. ”

As he spoke, he paused, no longer speaking, but looked at Xun Xu.

Xun Shu nodded knowingly, and then said: "Isn't it true that the relationship between Xiahou Boquan, Xiahou Zhongquan and Xiahou Miaocai's other sons is not very harmonious?" ”

"Not bad. Xuzhou was originally the world of Xiahou Cheng, Xiahou Wei, Xiahou Rong, Xiahou and the four. When Xiahou Heng, Xiahou Ba and the Han army arrived, they had competitors. Especially Xiahou Hui, who was once useless, turned over again and relied on. Sima Yi seems to know Xiahou Yuan's sons very well.

In fact, among Xiahou Yuan's sons, Xiahou Heng and Xiahou Ba have already purchased family businesses in the Han Dynasty in the past two years, and they do not want to get a piece of the pie in Xuzhou. Instead, their younger brother, Xiahou Hui, is the sixth son of Xiahou Yuan. Just want to compete for a piece of the pie.

Later, when Dong Yuan took office, he exiled Xiahou Heng, Xiahou Ba, and Xiahou Hui, in fact, to ease the relationship between their brothers.

After Sima Yi and others discussed, they decided to raise troops to attack Xiapi.

Sima Yi led an army of 100,000 to Xiapi.

In Xiapi City, Xiahou Ba, the general of the Jincai Cavalry, looked coldly at the eagles and horses galloping outside the city, and his heart was tightly entangled.

Li Xue hurriedly rushed to the city tower with the letter, and shouted when he was far away: "General, it's not good!" Sima Yi raised an army of 100,000 and went straight to my lower Pi. ”

Xiahou Ba seemed to have expected it, and said: "It's time to close the city gate!" ”

After speaking, he walked towards Li Xue, took the letter, looked at it, and said to Li Xue in a low voice: "Immediately order to go down, if you are not the people in the city, go out of the city immediately." Merchants from afar, all to the post station to stay. Once the enemy arrives, no one is allowed to leave the city! ”

"No!" Li Xue agreed, turned around and left with the guards.

In the evening, Sima Yi's army poured down like a tide.

Sima Yi didn't give Xiahouba much time to prepare, and as soon as he came up, he besieged the city.

He asked the general Cheng Xi to lead five or six thousand soldiers and horses from his headquarters to the east side and make a feint; The Zhenwu general Sun Li led more than 20,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters to the west gate of Pi, drove the building car and rushed the car to start attacking the city; made Pingyu Zhonglang lead Li Xu to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters to attack the south gate; So that Fengyi Zhonglang led Li Ji to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters to attack the north gate.

For a while, arrows flew in the city, and rolling logs and stones fell one after another.

The roars, shouts of killing, and screams are intertwined into the evening song under the night of Picheng at this time.

Because of the dark twilight of the night, both sides of the battle could not see the enemy in the distance. Those archers threw one after another, and it didn't matter if there was anyone or not, whether the enemy was there or not, just shoot indiscriminately.

When Xiahou Ba arrived at the city, he found this situation, hurriedly stopped it, and ordered to go down: "Soak the rolling wood in oil, roll it down the city wall, and set it on fire quickly." ”

But I saw that the rolling wood fell into Cao's army, and then I saw rockets shooting indiscriminately, and they actually set the rolling wood on fire.

It turned out that only the soldiers in the city were under the light of the torches, and all of them were exposed in the eyes of Cao Jun, and many soldiers were hit by arrows. As soon as the rolling wood was ignited, it was like a fire, which immediately illuminated the surroundings, and the Wei troops under the city fell into the eyes of the Han army in the city.

Under the light of the rolling wood fire, the shooting efficiency of the Han army in the city can be displayed, and a rain of arrows poured in, and many of the Cao soldiers who were about to attack the city were hit by arrows.

However, Sima Yi chose this time precisely because of the darkness of the sky, which had a great advantage over the cover of the Wei army. However, he didn't expect Xiahou Ba to be so tenacious, where is the Xiahou Zhongquan in his memory?

In the siege battle, both sides were glued together.

Taking advantage of the night, many soldiers of the Wei army rushed to the wall of the Han army, and the two sides fought to the death on the city wall. Blood continued to flow from the dead and undead soldiers, down the walls and into the moat, gradually dyeing the river red, but the night was too dark for anyone to see.

Xiahou Ba couldn't count how many times he repelled the enemy's attacks, but he knew that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him. From time to time, he sent people to the west gate and the south gate to check the battle situation, he knew that in the battle of the four gates, only the east gate did not move, but he did not dare to transfer Pang Yuan's team over. Because there are also enemy troops feint at the east gate.

The battle of Ximen was the most severe, and the regiment led by Li Xue had already reduced the combat strength of two battalions; And the soldiers of the three cavalry battalions on his side, with their brave battles, also lost more than a thousand people; The battle at the South Gate, though just as fierce, seemed to have suffered minimal losses.

Once again, the enemy's attack was thwarted. It is not known how much interval there will be in the next attack.

He looked up at Xuzhou and Xiaopei in the distance, thinking about reinforcements?

Governor, do you really have to wait until our army is exhausted before your reinforcements arrive? Big brother, if you don't come again, the second brother will have to explain here! The third brother, the fifth brother, and the seventh brother, in your hearts, is the second brother really inferior to those family wealth?
