Chapter 268 Entering the empty city was attacked by fire, driving out the enemy soldiers and encountering the people
The book said that Zhuge Liang saw through Guo Jiakong's plan and offered Liu Qian a plan to attack the city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Liu Qian then adopted his strategy, so that the general Lei Xu led 5,000 troops to attack Ruyin.
Cao Cao led the army to leave, and he also had to pursue. Liu Qian arranged again: "Zhongkang and Ziman, you two take all the remaining cavalry to chase after the fleeing Cao Cao!" Interceptors are unforgiving! ”
Liu Qian didn't expect that his words would directly cause Xu Chu and Dian Wei to kill tens of thousands of people, including those civilians who were driven by Cao Cao's soldiers to block their pursuit. It is also because of this incident that Liu Qian set up a monument to the sky in the area of Qian County, and worshiped the people who died in vain to win the hearts of the people.
Xu Chu and Dian Wei received the order, and then ordered 20,000 cavalry to bypass Ruyin and pursue Cao Cao.
Besides, Guo Jia sat alone on the tower of Ruyin City, and Yu Ban and Cao Ang stood behind him. The 500 elite soldiers have been placed in various ignition points, waiting for the Sichuan army to enter the city.
Liu Qian, Zhuge Liang, Chen Gong, Lei Bo, Xue Ji, Han Yue, Yuan Huan and others led a group of soldiers and horses to line up and set up troops, and the sea of people stretched for several miles. But hearing a burst of drums, Lei Xu rushed towards the east gate of Ruyin with five thousand elite soldiers.
More than 20 people pushed the battering ram and slammed it on the city gate, dozens of times in a row, and with a "bang", the city gate was knocked open. Lei Xu rushed in with a group of soldiers.
Guo Jia on the city tower disappeared at this dusty moment. Even Yu Ban and Cao Ang, who were guarding him, disappeared from the city tower.
In the ear chakra, I heard the sound of the jack gate being lowered - "squeak, squeak, squeak......" and "clang". The eastern gate fell a jack gate.
Zhuge Liang immediately shouted: "Oops! Not good! still fell for Guo Fengxiao's tricks. Quick, the army is besieging the city. ”
Liu Qian saw Zhuge Liang shouting in a hurry, and hurriedly asked Lei Bo to outflank the south gate with his troops and horses, and Xue Ji to lead his troops to the north gate. And he made the soldiers push the battering ram and struck the jack gate.
At this moment, another change occurred in the city. Lei Xu rushed to the front of the yamen with his soldiers, and found that the street was empty, so he chased west. A soldier came to report: "Report to the general, the way is blocked by firewood and grass blades in front!"
Lei Xu then led his troops to come, and sure enough, a large number of firewood, grass and blades and other flammable materials were piled up in front. He was just about to clear the sergeant when he heard a "whoosh" sound from the ear chakra, and when he looked back, he saw hundreds of rockets shooting at them.
It's broken, it's a trick! Lei Xu secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and shouted in his mouth: "Retreat!" Throw down the firewood and back off! ”
It's a pity it's late! The wood was full of tung oil, and it burned when it caught fire. The soldiers who were holding firewood were all burned by the fire, and they all lay on the ground and rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the fire on their bodies. That is, these Sichuan soldiers encountered a fire and knew how to save themselves! These things were taken as common knowledge by Liu Qian, and they were taught in every division. Unlike other people's armies, they fled in all directions after being attacked by fire, not knowing how to save themselves.
Rao is like this, and many people have been hit by rockets and died. Lei Xu shouted an order, and made the sword and shield soldiers move closer to the direction of the arrows with the rockets against them.
The soldiers who set the fire saw that the soldiers with swords and shields began to move closer to them, and instead of retreating, they waited until they entered the alleys of the houses and fired rockets into the houses.
Tung oil, sulfur and other materials exploded one after another, killing many of the soldiers who came up.
Looking at the explosions that kept happening in all directions, and the continuous gas of many houses, Lei Xu was in a hurry, and several times the soldiers charged up, but they were all forced back by the explosion.
It is also thanks to the fact that these soldiers are well-trained on weekdays, and they are not as flustered as other soldiers when they encounter this incident. One by one, they were guarded by sword and shield soldiers, and the cavalry and pikemen were protected in the middle, forming a circular defensive formation to resist the rockets flying in the air. Lei Xu and the other cavalry kept blocking the flying arrows.
For a while, it was very passive, and there was a sound of crashing from the east, which was the sound of the battering ram hitting the jack gate! Lei Xu shouted: "Brothers, hold on! Our army is outside, what can hundreds of people do to me? Our reinforcements are right outside!"
It's a pity that at this time, the fire in the city was raging, and half of the sky was already red.
When the two troops of Lei Bo and Han Yue arrived at the south and north gates, they found that these two gates were also blocked by the jack gate. And they led their armies to the west gate, but the gates of the west gate were wide open.
The two armies met, and Lei Bo rode his horse to Han Yue and asked, "Uncle Han, the city is full of fires, presumably Guo Fengxiao has escaped!" My brother is in the city, and I don't know what the situation is now, and I want to enter the city! ”
"Virtuous nephew, you take your soldiers into the city to put out the fire! A certain leader chases after him! Han Yue knew that Lei Bo was eager to save his brother, so he made Lei Bo enter the city and led his troops to chase west.
It turned out that when Guo Jia saw Lei Xu entering the city, he knew that his plan had been accomplished, so he asked Cao Ang and Yu Ban to go out of the city with more than ten cavalry. Five hundred dead men were left behind to set fire to the city.
Han Yue led 20,000 soldiers to chase closely behind, but unfortunately the speed of the infantry could not catch up with the cavalry after all, and there was no trace of Guo Jia and the others at all. Instead, he found the people who were following Cao Cao's army.
This group of people exceeded 100,000 people, and the darkness was overwhelming. There were also thousands of Cao soldiers in prison around them, so they had to follow behind the army to defend the army against the pursuers.
After receiving the report from Tanmalai, Han Yue suddenly became angry, and then led the army to speed up the pursuit.
The army had not gone on for more than three or five miles, but they saw the oppressive people coming toward them. Seeing this, General Li Mu hurriedly said to Han Yue: "General, they actually drove the people over to attack our army's camp!" ”
Han Yue looked at the tide of people not far away, his face was very solemn, and he waved the axe in his hand and shouted: "The pikemen are in front of the formation; The sword and shield soldiers hang their swords and shields in the formation, and take the bow and stand by! The generals were not allowed to fight, but were on standby. The pikemen are ready to shout and inform them: Ruyin has been taken, just wait for them to go home! If you still move forward, the bow and arrow have no eyes, and you will not be forgiven for shooting! ”
When the soldiers heard this, they quickly formed a large defensive formation.
The pikemen in front of them shouted one after another: "Fellows, don't come forward! Ruyin City has been captured by our army, you can go home. If you don't listen, if you still move forward, the bow and arrow have no eyes, and you can't be forgiven for shooting! ”
Unfortunately, those people were forced to die if they did not go forward; Seeing that Han Yue and the others were just shouting, they thought that they didn't dare to release arrows. These people are ignorant, and those vicious fellows are only a few thousand people, and if they had swarmed them, they would have been torn down long ago! Where else will they be threatened? Now it's good, Han Yue gave them a way to live, but they didn't appreciate it!
They were still pressing towards Han Yue and their formation with blind steps.
The pikemen took a step back. Seeing that he was pressed by this people's tide, a cavalry rushed out from the right side of the team and rushed towards the rear of the people's tide, directly slashing at the Cao Cao soldiers who were driving the people.
The people who did not know why were terrified and ran from place to place, and many died under the trampling of their horses. The people who were still advancing just now ran towards the hill on the left like a swarm, and their desire to survive was quite strong.
Han Yue took the opportunity to make the soldiers reorganize the formation and press it in an all-round way.
The people led by the cavalry were none other than Xu Chu and Dian Wei. Due to the detour, he arrived here later than Han Yue, and it seems that he encountered some obstacles on the way.
Xu Chu and the others didn't say hello to Han Yue, and directly led the troops to the back of the people's tide to run over. Where did less than 5,000 soldiers dare to face 20,000 fierce and vicious cavalry, and at this time, there is still a trace of the arrogant appearance just now, and they all throw away their armor and burrow into the refugees.
Xu Chu and Dian Wei did not delay here, and rode their horses and whips to chase straight in the direction of Cao Cao's army retreating.
Even so, more than 10,000 people died under the hooves of their horses. But who can say how many lives will be destroyed under their spears next?
Cao Cao, who was retreating in front, had already learned that there were enemy soldiers chasing after him, and he ambushed the army in several places, but he did not receive any results, just because the enemy cavalry was too fast, and he had already passed the ambush circle without waiting for a reaction. Although they delayed their pursuit, they still did not completely repel the cavalry.
Cao Cao's general Zheng Hun came to ask for an order: "Prime Minister, a certain general is willing to lead 10,000 troops to block the enemy's cavalry." ”
"You only need to hold back the enemy for an hour! After an hour, you can retreat into Wuping City! Cao Cao said to Zheng Hun.
Zheng Hun took the order and left.
Xu Chu and Dian Wei saw that Cao Cao actually made the army stop them, and they did not stop, and drove the troops to cover up and kill.
In the face of the enemy cavalry, Zheng Hun had already set up antlers behind the army to cover the cavalry's sight. This plan was very vicious, and it did cause a lot of casualties to the first charge of this cavalry.
Xu Chu and Dian Wei led a group of cavalry to charge over, but found that a row of antlers in front of them was approaching the horse's legs. But listen to the two shouting in unison, "Jump the barrier!" He lifted the reins of the horse, sat down, and jumped over the antlers.
Many of the cavalry behind were not so lucky, and hundreds of them were wounded by the antlers. Several knights fell from their horses and broke their neck bones......
Seeing this, Xu Chu and the others were furious, and cut off the antlers one by one, and then turned their horses back to Zheng Hun's infantry to cover and kill.
Without the antlers' plot, Zheng Hun can now be regarded as completely losing his reliance. In the face of the revenge of Xu Chu and Dian Wei, where are the more than 10,000 soldiers under him who are the opponents of others? Don't say that Xu Chu and Dian Wei are the knights on the horse, and the spears are like the sickles of death, constantly harvesting the lives of the soldiers under his command......
Now everyone is no longer charging, they are all condescending to pick thorns, surround them, and gather together. There are constantly soldiers on the periphery being killed, they are like cats and rats in front of them, they want to escape but can't escape, they are played with by cats in applause, and let death continue to do so with their own will......
