Chapter 124: The Bloody Battle of Bishui Pass (3)

The god of night quietly lifted the curtain, and a pale yellow moon quietly climbed into the air, and the moonlight spread on the water and shone with a silver light, and no one could have imagined that just a short time ago this place was once a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In order not to affect the next battle, the corpses left by a big battle during the day have been burned to ashes by the defenders in the Bishui Pass, and the blood stains left behind have also been cleaned.

The alliance army also returned to the sour jujube camp and began to sleep, for some people today is just to follow the army in front of the Bishui Pass, but for others today means a fierce battle of life and death.

The sour jujube camp is stationed with all the troops of the alliance army, the camp tent is gone one after another, it has long been out of the territory of the sour jujube, riding a horse from the camp to the Chinese army tent to take a stick of incense, even if it is such a huge camp, after nightfall is also quiet, even the footsteps of the patrol soldiers on the fallen leaves and dead branches are very clear.

But at this time, the lights in the big tent of the Chinese army were still bright, and the top commanders of all the soldiers and horses were still gathered here at this time and did not sleep.

"Yuan Alliance Lord, can we discuss the method of quickly attacking the city now?"

Without waiting for others to speak, Yuan Shu said to Yuan Shao in a weird manner.

Yuan Shao knew better than anyone how to deal with his younger brother, and said to the people seated: "I am on the battlefield, there are many people, I am afraid that the secrets will be leaked, so I temporarily ordered the Ming Jin guards to return to the camp to discuss again, please forgive me." ”

Everyone waved their hands and said they didn't dare.

Yuan Shao continued: "At this time, there are only us in the account, and Yuan Mou outside the account also ordered his cronies to guard, it is absolutely safe to discuss here, and there will be no possibility of leaking the content of our discussions. ”

After speaking, Yuan Shao bowed deeply to everyone.

The crowd was again greeted with polite remarks.

Cao Cao stood up at this time and said to Yuan Shao: "The leader of the alliance, in fact, you can consider attacking the city at night, our army's strength is dozens of times that of the defenders in Bishui Pass, as long as our army takes out 100,000 soldiers and horses, Dong Zhuo's thief army has to devote all its strength to defense, and the number of 100,000 soldiers and horses in our army is not only two or three, 800,000 soldiers and horses take turns to fight, and the defenders of Bishui Pass fight day and night, even if the enemy army is an iron body, it will not be able to support it, in the face of absolute strength, why use tactics?" ”

"Huh." Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "The purpose of the strategy is to avoid the casualties of our soldiers, the sword has no eyes when marching and fighting, and although the continuous battle can be won quickly, it still does not reduce the risk of casualties of our soldiers and soldiers, Meng De's words are still not suitable for the current situation." ”

Cao Cao frowned slightly, and didn't say anything more, in fact, Dong Zhuo's setting up soldiers and horses in Bishui Pass was just to delay time, Cao Cao would not think that Dong Zhuo would be so naΓ―ve, thinking that with a Bishui Pass, he could refuse an army of 800,000 outside the pass, so Dong Zhuo's purpose could only rely on Bishui Pass to delay time, and he used this time to gather more soldiers and horses to fight against the coalition army of the Eighteenth Route Princes.

But Cao Cao didn't say this idea, and this moment was just beginning to be discussed, and it was not the time for Cao Cao to argue with reason.

In fact, the best way for a battle at this moment is to fight a quick battle as Cao Cao said, use his absolute strength to quickly crush the opponent, and then march quickly to the Tiger Prison Pass to fight Dong Zhuo.

But it's a pity that the 800,000 troops are not commanded by Cao Cao alone, and the princes of the Eighteenth Route have eighteen interests to discuss, and Cao Cao felt a little doubtful for the first time that this crusade against Dong Zhuo could be won.

Pressing the wave in his heart, Cao Cao sat down calmly.

"I think there is something merit in Mende's approach." Gongsun Zhan spoke quickly, stood up and said to Yuan Shao, "But there is no need for a large army to fight in danger. ”

"Oh?" When everyone heard the words that they didn't need a large army to fight, they suddenly became interested, and Yuan Shao also signaled, "General Gongsun, please speak." ”

Gongsun Zhan said proudly: "In the battle of the day, I think that the defenders of Bishui Pass have almost reached the limit, if you can sneak into the camp in the pass tonight, open the city gate, and capture Bishui Pass, wouldn't it be like digging for something?" ”

Yuan Shao touched his beard and thought, and said: "This plan is also feasible, but the Bishui Pass is made by the mountains, and whose army is sure that it can sneak into the pass and steal the camp?" ”

Yuan Shao's sentence hit the point, the probability of success of the camp at this time is indeed very large, but after all, Bishui Pass is also an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack level, and the enemy soldiers are not young novices, and the night defense camp will inevitably set up sentry posts on the pass, and if you want to enter the pass, you can only climb the mountains on both sides of Bishui Pass, but don't say soldiers, even many generals in the army can't do it.

Just when everyone thought that this plan was going to end without a problem, someone stood up at once, and it turned out to be two.

Looking at Tao Qian beside him in surprise, Sun Jian made a humble move, and Tao Qian also smiled kindly at Sun Jian, and said to Yuan Shao and everyone: "I have 3,000 Danyang elite soldiers, and if I select 300 of them, I will be able to succeed." ”

Yuan Shao applauded: "Danyang's elite soldiers are world-famous, since Tao Lao is willing to send his most elite soldiers, great things can be done!" ”

After speaking, Yuan Shao looked at Sun Jian again and asked, "I don't know what Wuhenghou has to do." ”

Sun Jian pretended to be modest, and replied: "Naturally, there is no sergeant under Sun's account that is comparable to the elite soldiers of Danyang, and it is not enough to say that he has more than enough strength to go over the mountains and steal the camp, but Wentai does have a way to make my army headquarters appear in the rear of Bishui Pass." ”

Immediately, Sun Jian told everyone present about his plan in detail.

"Hahahaha!" Yuan Shao said happily, "With such an elite soldier stealing the camp of Tao Lao to open the city gate for us, and Sun Taishou blocking the way for the thief army to retreat, tonight's battle will definitely make the whole army in the city die without a place to be buried!" ”

The princes present also laughed, and Liu Bei restrained a little in his laughter, looking at Gongsun Zhan, his childhood friend, the corners of his mouth were a little bitter.

"Bo Jue, Bo Jue, you have ruined Yuan Shao's good deeds, and you will inevitably recruit this scourge in the future, so how can Brother Wei help you?"

Cao Cao's eyes also flashed a hint of his own thoughts.

"Tao Qian has no strong generals, but he has the world's first-class elite soldiers, Danyang soldiers? Well, I Cao Cao wrote it down. ”

Although Cao Cao's plan was not adopted, this strategy of stealing the camp was also an extension of the idea he proposed, so of course he had no opinion, and immediately said that he would personally lead his subordinates to ambush not far from Bishui Pass, and rush into the pass as soon as the city gate opened.

The rest of the princes also said that they would send their most elite soldiers to attack the Bishui Pass together.

The princes of the Eighteenth Road gathered together in a harmonious atmosphere at this time, but they hid their calculations in their hearts, and no one said anything.

Outside the big tent, the lights were bright, and Yuan Shao's personal guards stood expressionlessly around the big tent with their blades in hand, and even the patrolling team was not allowed to approach here.

Soon, the princes in the tent had finished their deliberations, and they left their tents and returned to their tents to select the men who would move for the night, and orders kept coming from the tents, and one sergeant after another was quietly awakened from their sleep.

The night was deep, and looking from the wall of Bishui Pass, the sour jujube camp in the distance was still sleeping peacefully, but in fact it was an undercurrent, but the defenders on Bishui Pass were of course unaware of this.

The moonlight gradually brightened and gradually dimmed, moving from east to west, and a team wearing black night clothes quietly walked quietly among the steep and steep mountains next to Bishui Pass, and the defenders on the city wall were still leaning on the pillars outside the city tower at this time, looking out of the city wall with sleep, not noticing that there was an army not far from his side that slowly touched the pass, nor did he sense that death was getting closer and closer to him.

"Commander, what's next?"

The army that had secretly camped had quietly entered the Bishui Pass from the foot of the mountain, and a man stepped forward to ask the leader of the operation.

"Take the brethren to the city wall to settle the defenders, and open the gates," said the commander, speaking to a few of the men in the procession, and then to the rest, "let's go get some horses and set fire to the gates to cause chaos." ”

"Yes!" The crowd answered softly together.

"Do it!"

With the commander's order, everyone pulled out the shiny steel knife from the black cloth they carried, which was naturally not a knife that ordinary sergeants could distribute, even in Tao Qian's Danyang army, only the most elite group could use it.

This group of people acted in two parts, only to see a few black shadows flashing on the wall of Bishui Pass, taking advantage of the fact that the defenders on the city wall were not paying attention, they immediately cleared a clearing near the city tower, and the ordinary soldier who had been leaning on the pillar before, not serious but not slack, of course, was also quietly touched on the neck, and left this world without making a sound.

The gate of the water gate under the city tower suddenly opened, and the loud sound immediately alarmed the sergeants who were still on duty at this time, and everyone's first reaction was to look in the direction of the city gate, but found that a raging fire had been burned on the city tower at this time.

Only then did the defenders in other parts of the city wall react and hurriedly shouted: "Enemy attack!" Then he rushed to the city gate, trying to close the gate again while the enemy army outside the gate did not attack.

But at this time, there was chaos in the gate.

"Enemy attack!"

"Someone steals the camp!"

Another wave of Danyang elites in the city saw the fire in the city tower, and the action of the teammates in Xindao was successful, and they immediately rode their horses, holding a knife in one hand and a torch in the other, and set fires everywhere in the passThese Danyang soldiers can set a large number of tents on fire as long as they run on horseback with torches in hand.

The sergeant's quiet night was shattered at this moment, and countless defenders of the pass ran out of the tents in a panic, most of them were disheveled and even in the place where the fire was so strong that they didn't even have time to pick up their weapons, and when they arrived quickly, their lives were taken away in a flash of the sword, and the rest of the people saw that they didn't care a lot, and they all shouted frantically and fled towards a place where there were no enemy troops and fire.

"What's going on?" Hua Xiong was woken up by the noise outside the house, "Did you bomb the camp?" ”

"It shouldn't be!" Hua Xiong instantly denied his own idea, most of the bombing camps took place during the march, and the sergeants did not encounter the enemy at any time, so they were also worried when they rested at night, and some of the sergeants were in a nightmare, thinking that they heard the sound of the assembly and immediately got up and dressed to prepare for the assembly, and the other sergeants also got up anxiously when they saw him get up, because all the sergeants were in a state of mental stress, and the people in the other tents also got up one after hearing it, and when the whole army was assembled in the school field, they found out that this was a farce, this is the bombing of the camp," But now that the battle has begun, and the soldiers have been tired all day, there should be no bombing of the camp! ”

"Something must have happened!"

Hua Xiong vaguely realized that the situation was wrong and wanted to get up to see what was going on.

"Ahh As soon as Hua Xiong exerted his strength, the pain of muscle tearing immediately came from his right shoulder, and blood immediately oozed out of the bandage that had been wrapped by the doctor.

"Ahh Help me! ”

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

"The coalition forces are in, everyone run!"

When Hua Xiong heard this, he suddenly felt anxious, exhaled deeply, put on armor for himself with the severe pain on his shoulder, and rushed out of the door with his own saber in hand.

"!"

Hua Xiong looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but scold, the Bishui Pass in front of him was already on fire everywhere, from the city tower to the large army camp, there was chaos everywhere, his army was fleeing here at this time, but there was not a single enemy army at all.

Hua Xiong, who immediately judged that it was just a small group of troops who came to steal the camp, was angry, and immediately returned to his residence to take out Chitu, and rushed towards the crowded place.

"Don't mess around!"

"Pick up your weapons and prepare for battle!"

"Don't mess around!"

Hua Xiong galloped quickly from camp to camp, holding his sword high and shouting loudly, but everyone only cared about holding their heads and running around, and no one heard Hua Xiong's words at all.

At this time, there was a more noisy shout of the soldiers not far away, Hua Xiong hurriedly slapped his horse and rushed over, only to see a black-clothed man riding a Xiliang war horse in the flames, who was holding a steel knife to chase the soldiers fleeing in front of him like chasing animals.

"Take your life!"

Hua Xiong roared angrily, urging the red rabbit to run towards the man, the pain in his shoulder was even more intense, and Hua Xiong could even feel the blood flowing down his shoulder through the bandage.

The elite soldiers of Danyang not far away were comfortably chasing the defenders of Bishui Pass at this time, enjoying this sense of hunting like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, but saw a man in armor in front of him riding a horse rushing towards him.

"Hey, let me catch a big fish."

This Danyang soldier is very confident in his martial arts, originally, any person in the Danyang soldier is enough to be a low-level general with martial arts alone, not to mention that he is still one of the best, from the style of the armor that Hua Xiong is wearing at this time, it can be seen that his status in the army is not low, and at this time he is only holding a long sword that is not suitable for horse warfare.

Seeing the man in black coming straight towards him, Hua Xiong's eyes showed a cold color, and Chitu's speed increased suddenly, and the long sword in his hand was raised high, as if it had turned into a big knife and slashed towards the man.

The two horses were wrong, Hua Xiong swung his sword, and suddenly slashed out in the frightened eyes of the Danyang elite soldiers, and actually slashed the long sword into his chest and then split him off the horse, lying on the ground and dying no longer dead.

Although the Danyang elite soldiers were killed, the wound on Hua Xiong's shoulder was also completely torn open, and blood kept pouring out of the new wound, even if he was wearing thick armor, it seeped out, flowing all the way from the shoulder armor, dripping on the ground, but Hua Xiong still didn't care, he shouted again to the panicked crowd around him: "Hua Xiong is here, stop for me." ”

This time, someone finally stopped, recognized Hua Xiong's appearance, and shouted: "General Hua Xiong! ”

As soon as the man shouted, the people around him who knew him well also looked at Hua Xiong.

"It's really General Huaxiong!"

"Look, General Huaxiong is here, and we are saved."

"General, everyone said that the enemy army was attacking, is it true?"

A voice came from the crowd and asked Hua Xiong.

Hua Xiong himself still didn't know the situation, so he could only say to the dozens of people around him in a deep voice: "Everyone take your weapons first, and I'll show you what's going on." ”

Hua Xiong's prestige in the army was still very high, and everyone immediately obeyed his words, found weapons and held them in their hands, formed a simple formation, and began to rush towards the rest of the places that were still in chaos.

Hua Xiong led these people around the pass, collecting subordinates along the way, and soon gathered a team of hundreds of people, all on foot and horse, complete with armor and weapons, and it looked decent.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and Hua Xiong immediately ordered to stop advancing.

Looking intently, he saw that a large number of teams in the firelight were also coming towards this side, Hua Xiong slightly estimated that the number was about the same as these people on his side, and his heart settled down slightly.

The figure gradually progressed, and Hua Xiong looked at it again that it was Li Su!

"Wei Gong, I'm here!"

Hua Xiong shouted at Li Su, and Li Su also saw Hua Xiong and immediately rushed to him with the army.

"Bosheng? You didn't recuperate in the house, how did you get out? ”

Li Su was overjoyed and anxious when he saw Hua Xiong, and said unhappily as he looked at the blood flowing from Hua Xiong's shoulder.

Hua Xiong pointed around with a wry smile: "What are you talking about recuperating at this time, what happened?" ”

"It's not too serious," Li Su said, "it's just that dozens of coalition forces have touched in and are making trouble everywhere." ”

"I was just woken up by the noise in the gate, and hundreds of sergeants from the cavalry battalion gathered on the street, and I took them to get war horses and weapons to look for you, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

Listening to Li Su's words, Hua Xiong couldn't help but frown deeply.

Seeing Hua Xiong's appearance, Li Su hurriedly said: "I can handle this little thing, you go back and rest quickly, and after a while, I will go to you after I have cleared the enemy army in the city." ”

After saying that, Li Su was about to take the hundreds of cavalry behind him to the city gate, and Hua Xiong hurriedly grabbed Li Su.

"You don't have to go, these dozens of enemy troops won't come in vain, this water pass...... I'm afraid I can't hold it. ”

As if in order to confirm Hua Xiong's words, an overwhelming sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded at the city gate, and a figure in a red robe rushed into the city gate and shouted: "I am Cao Cao Cao Mengde, the Bishui Pass has been broken, and those who descend will not die!" ”

Immediately, the many cavalry behind him also shouted in unison: "Those who surrender will not die!" ”

"Those who descend will not die!"
