Chapter 414 sent troops to meet the fierce enemy Zhongquan, and set up ambushes to attack Cheng Xi

Over the years, although Xiahou Ba has not accepted the gift of the Son of Han Tianzi, his martial arts have not been left behind. From time to time, he would go to the Academy of Literature www.biquge.info and Martial Arts in the name of Zhang Bao to listen to the explanation of the battle formation of the Academy of Literature, or go to the military field to compete with those students in martial arts.

Especially in the military exercise field of the Martial Arts Academy, he can be regarded as an eye-opener. Those long and short weapon moves attracted him deeply. Especially Zhao Hammer, a pair of sledgehammers of more than fifty catties are like light feathers in the hands of this veteran who is more than half a hundred years old, and what is even more amazing is that the hammer can be hooked with chains and used as a hidden weapon.

This guy was immediately attracted by Zhao Hammer's hammer technique. In the future, he inquired about Zhao Hammer's teaching time, came to class every day, and actually practiced Zhao Hammer's flying hammer method proficiently.

In order to use this flying hammer, he specially walked a pair of small hammers of about 20 catties, which were always hung on his waist when he went out to fight, called the meteor hammer.

In addition, he also learned a set of dragon flash marksmanship from Chen Gun, a total of 16 styles. This set of marksmanship is a set of marksmanship for generals at or above the level of battalion commander, but according to the level and degree of application, some have learned eight of them, some have learned six styles, and some have learned ten styles, and only generals at the regimental training level can learn all of them. And he stole all of them.

He also gained a further understanding of the enemy's battle through his studies in the Academy of Letters. And in the process of continuous study, he further realized that the strength of the Han Dynasty did not depend on luck, but on the law. In the name of the Bungain, it is called a system. This system made the officials of the Han Dynasty wholeheartedly serve the public, so that the generals of the Han Dynasty could have abilities that other princes did not have.

This is also one of the main reasons why he was willing to persuade his old father to return to the Han Dynasty in the future.

It is precisely because of his studies in the Academy of Civil and Military Affairs in recent years that he has changed from a reckless man to a wise and brave general.

Looking at the military order in his hand, he looked at his cavalry general Li Xue and asked: "Li Shencai, could it be that Sima Zhongda's soldiers and horses did not all go out to fight?" ”

Li Xue, Zhang Bao introduced him to his staff officer, and he was also his classmate and friend when he was studying at the Wenwu Academy. I still know him well, not an impulsive person.

Li Xue nodded and said: "General, this time Sima Zhongda sent General Cheng Xi to lead 20,000 troops as a vanguard to attack my Xiapi!" The last general thought that he could attack it with surprise troops first, and then retreat to Xiapi before it was too late! ”

Xiahou Ba looked at the other generals, and said to Li Xue: "Is there any movement in the direction of Pengcheng?" ”

"Not yet!" Li Xue replied.

"Hey!" Xiahou Ba sighed and shook his head silently.

The ranger general Zhuo An hurriedly asked, "Could it be that General Fei is worried about the failure of Sima Zhongda's army?" ”

Xiahou Ba shook his head again and said in a low voice: "There is no news from Pengcheng, I'm afraid that my brothers are blocking Dong Dudu's troops!" They are all blindly confident, and they are content with the world. I hope Zhou Biyun can persuade the governor to overwhelm the opinions of my brothers! ”

It seems that Xiahou Ba still really knows his brothers.

Pengcheng, in the capital protection house.

Dong Yuan took a battle report, fell to the ground with a "snap", and shouted angrily: "Waste! Eater! Before the enemy arrived, how could he easily pour his troops out of the city? ”

Zhou Wei, Fang Ye, He Pan, and Pang Hui looked at each other.

Stunned to see Dong Yuan angry for a while, Zhou Wei picked up the battle report from the ground, looked at it carefully, and handed it to Pang Hui, who was in charge.

And Fang Ye and He Fan turned a blind eye, and their eyes seemed to be dazed.

After reading it, Pang Hui quickly got up and said to Dong Yuan: "Dudu, this is just an opportunity to subdue the Xiahou family!" ”

Well, Lao Tzu himself wants to take this opportunity to weaken Xiahou's lineage. You're so nice. It's great to have subordinates like you. Catch up with Ming'er, I have to get you to my side from Zhou Wei's division!

Dong Yuan was happy in his heart, but his face didn't show it at all, he still had a tense face, and said, "Even? How to deter Xiahou from the first line? Tell me about it? ”

"Zhang Wen and Zhang Shaonai are Xiahou He's senior brothers, and all their subordinates are veterans of Xiahou's family. At this point, both were defeated. Why didn't the governor blame him for his inability to command the army? Pang Hui said with a smile.

I really didn't see that this kid has a big and rough daddy Pound? What's the matter, he has such a smart head? Could it be because Pound didn't read, and he couldn't get an education for nearly ten years?

Dong Yuan sneered in his heart, but he had to follow him and say, "Not bad! It makes sense, and you can also take advantage of the situation to bring that team into your own hands! I'll write this down for you first! ”

Pang Hui hurriedly saluted and said, "How dare you take credit for your meager strength?" ”

After the agreement, Dong Yuan summoned the two great jockeys and the eight generals in the hall of the Duhufu, attributed the defeat of the Zhang brothers to recklessness, and even called them the talents who rushed into battle.

When Xiahou He and the others saw that Dong Yuan was like this, they thought that this governor was still very good for the Xiahou family. One by one, they all said that they must be severely punished.

Dong Yuan laughed and said, "General Xiahou, no matter what, the Zhang brothers are all your people, how can they be held responsible?" However, for the sake of our soldiers, a certain regiment was sent to practice again, and the two were punished as deputy generals, and their salaries were reduced to one rank! ”

Xiahou and others, they just can't talk about their suffering now.

So, there was a scene where Pang Hui took his clansman Pang Yuan to the post.

Next, Dong Yuan mentioned that Sima Yi would attack Xiapi in the near future. Xiahou He was still reluctant to go out immediately, and once again admonished: "The enemy army did not send troops to attack Xiapi at this time, wouldn't our army empty the back city if it acted recklessly?" ”

Dong Yuan didn't understand why Xiahou He was unwilling to send troops to rescue Xiahou Ba? It turned out that the Xiahou family was divided into two small factions, one was Xiahou Heng and Xiahou Ba, and the other was Xiahou Cheng, Xiahou He, Xiahou Rong and others.

Although both sides are very amicable on the surface, in fact, they are intriguing and competing for wealth for a day or two. Later, Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Heng returned to the Han Dynasty for their sister, and this kind of struggle was gone. Because there is no conflict of interest. However, after Xiahou Yuan surrendered, this conflict of interest was manifested.

Dong Yuan didn't understand these inside stories, but he knew that the troops in Xiahou Ba's hands were still subordinate to him, not like Xiahou and his soldiers, who did not listen to themselves and were controlled by Xiahou He and Xiahou Rong's brothers.

Although he did not immediately reject Xiahou He's suggestion, he said euphemistically: "What the general said has a certain amount of truth. However, our army must send troops to rescue before Xiapi is broken. ”

This is equivalent to agreeing to Xiahou He's suggestion, but he denies Xiahou He's unspoken meaning. He clearly told Xiahou He that even if he left the empty city, he would save Pi.

Because the interests of everyone in the family have become the driving force for each to compete for succession. It was normal in those days, just like the emperor's sons fought for the throne and became enemies of their brothers, seeing each other with swords and guns, and finally the scene of Shura splashed with blood on the spot, which was unbearable.

It was precisely knowing these stakes that Xiahou Ba expected the story behind this matter. In order to alleviate the hardships of defending the city in the future, he still agreed to Li Xue's suggestion, and fought to the death with Sima Yi's vanguard Cheng Xi thirty miles outside Xiapi City.

In the investigation report of Yingyang Tanma, Xiahouba mastered Cheng Xi's march route, and sent two male infantry regiments to make pockets one step in advance, led by Zhuo An and Li Xue; He led two mobile battalions of cavalry out of the city to meet the enemy; The Xiongbu regiment of Pang Yuan, Zhang Wen, and Zhang Shao stayed in Xiapi.

Poor Cheng Xi's army of 20,000 came towards Xia Pi in a mighty way.

Suddenly, the scout horse sent out came back to report: "Report, general, there is enemy cavalry in front." ”

What, enemy cavalry? It doesn't matter, Lao Tzu is a pikeman again!

"Pikemen!" He shouted, "Array! ”

Lancers are a formidable weapon against cavalry charges.

The pikemen lined up and waited for the Xiahou Ba cavalry to come.

However, he didn't expect that the cavalry did not come, but ushered in a rain of arrows.

Those pikemen, with their thin armor, were like targets nailed to the ground, pierced through the chest by those arrows. The spears were no longer able to block the arrows, and they could only watch as the arrows plunged into their chests, slowly feeling their lives slipping away.

"Sword and shield soldiers! Sword and shield soldiers!" Cheng Xi blocked those arrows while calling out to the sword and shield soldiers: "Quickly form a defensive formation to protect the pikemen!" ”

Damn, protect a fart! Spearmen, almost all of them have become hedgehogs! Even if you don't die, you can't live!

However, the sword and shield soldiers quickly formed a protective circle surrounded by shields, and surrounded the generals, archers, and spearmen.

The sound of horses' hooves in the distance grew closer and closer as the arrows decreased.

There was a shout of killing on both sides, Cheng Xige blocked the last arrow, and when he looked around, he saw that no less than 10,000 soldiers and horses rushed out on both sides.

Finished! Surrounded by people.

His first feeling was that he was surrounded. After all, if the ambush just now, if he hadn't been surrounded, he could still escape with the rest of the soldiers and horses; However, this time, even surrounded by an ambush, I am afraid that the losses will be heavy.

The sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer also shook his heart.

Looking at his somewhat panicked subordinates, Cheng Xi shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't panic, they don't have as many people as us, rush with me!" ”

After speaking, he rushed towards the way he came.

His five trilogy Ren Xian, Kong Yi, Ling Hu Shao, Cheng He, and Guo Yuan followed closely and followed.

Standing in the way was the second regiment led by Zhuo An, Yang Kanbu.

Zhuo An, the general who was promoted by the sword and shield soldiers in the Jiugong Army when Emperor Liu Qian raised troops in Liaodong, can also be regarded as an old qualification; It's just that he was young at that time, only seventeen or eighteen, and now he is a veteran of nearly fifty, but he is still in good spirit, brave and not weak. For so many years, it has always been a shield in his left hand and a seven-foot long knife in his right hand.

Seeing several generals of the Wei army rushing towards him, he rode his horse to meet him, and slashed at the general with a big axe at the head.

Cheng Xi hurriedly blocked with a big axe.

The two horses pedal wrongly, and the two turned their horses and fought together.

Ren Xian, Kong Yi, Ling Hushao, Cheng He, and Guo Yuan were surrounded by Yang Kan, the regimental training general of the Second Regiment, Gao Liang, the deputy general of the regiment, and Gao Zhen, the regimental staff general, with several commanders.

All of a sudden, there was chaos.

Although Cheng Xi is brave, he does have a strong intention to fight, and he has no heart to fight; Although Zhuo An is old, he also does his best, the sword and shield are combined, and he is also offensive and defensive.

At this time, Cheng Xike muttered.

After all, the lineup behind him was chaotic, and his soldiers and horses were being flanked, or they were caught on three sides. Especially the attack of those cavalry from the direction of Xiapi, it is too profitable! took the opportunity of the charge to rush into the hinterland of his own soldiers and horses.

He was in a hurry, and shouted loudly at Ren Xian and the others: "Ren Xian, you don't want to fight, just escape!" ”

Ren Xian and the others abandoned Yang Kai and the others and moved closer to Cheng Xi.

Zhuo An is old after all, and he is not as good as before. He watched Cheng Xi and others rushing past in front of him, anxious in his heart, but helpless, he took Yang Kan and others to chase and kill for a while, and when he saw that they were running away, he returned to the battlefield.

Xiahou Ba and others collected the Wei soldiers on the battlefield, cleaned up the battlefield, and returned to Xiapi.

This battle can be regarded as a big victory. In one battle, more than 3,000 pikemen were killed, more than 5,000 infantry were killed, and more than 5,000 were captured. The losses were mainly the 2nd Regiment of Zhuo'an's Division, with 1,300 soldiers lost and more than 3,000 wounded; The regiment led by Li Xue lost no more than three or five hundred people; And the cavalry led by Xiahou Ba was also unkilled.

Cheng Xi and the others fled in embarrassment, and when they arrived in a secluded place, they saw that there were no pursuers, so they almost commanded their troops. After a check, he didn't draw his sword and kill himself. It turned out that there were two fewer of the five generals under his command (Ling Hu Shao and Cheng He were missing), and there were only 3,000 soldiers and horses.
