Chapter 395 Miaocai should enter Linhuai first, and Cheng Tai led the troops to Chengde

It is said that Xiahou Yuan led his troops to the north gate of Linhuai City, and was shocked when he saw the flags fluttering on the city, and the swords and guns flashing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Didn't you say that there were only a few thousand people in the city? Why so many people?

He turned around and asked, "How many people are there in Linhuai County?" ”

Xiahou and Cema stepped forward and replied, "Father, it seems that there are about five or six thousand soldiers and horses in the city. It is said to be a team of the Han Dynasty, and the average such establishment is more than 6,000 people. ”

Xiahouwei added: "The establishment of the Han army is very regular, they call such an establishment a regiment, and the establishment of a regiment corresponds to the cavalry, which is called the British cavalry regiment; Corresponding to the infantry, it is called the Infantry Regiment. The defenders in Linhuai City are a Xiongbu regiment, and the head of the regiment is called Cheng Tai, who is the son of Cheng Yin, the general of Xiliang. ”

While they were discussing, some of the soldiers in the city began to move, heading towards Ben to the east.

Xiahou Yuan's face changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Could it be that Lu Meng deliberately attacked me?" I led troops to attack this city, but did he send troops to attack this city? ”

Xiahou then sent people to investigate.

After a short time, the inquirer came back and reported: "The general's guess is right! It was Lu Xun, the general of Eastern Wu, who came to attack the city with more than 10,000 people! ”

Xiahou Yuan was furious and scolded repeatedly: "Wuxia Ameng dares to deceive me!" How dare Wuxia Amon deceive me! ”

Xiahou He hurriedly comforted on the side: "Father, I haven't known who killed the deer yet!" Our army has 20,000 soldiers, and it is not very difficult to capture this city! ”

Xiahou Miaocai looked at his son, let out a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "For today's plan, that's the only way!" ”

After speaking, he sent Xiahou Wei to command the troops, set up ladders, push heavy hammers, and began to attack the city.

Who knows how far the heavy battering ram has not advanced, and then it falls into a trap, unable to pull up or push.

Seeing this, Xiahou Yuan secretly admired, the Han army in the city was really shrewd, and he actually came up with this method to stop our army from attacking the city, it was not easy to see this Cheng Tai!

Watching the siege ram advance like a snail, Xiahou Yuan was in a hurry and arranged for the spearmen to use spears to explore the ground along the way, and the battering ram then advanced.

Such a toss has greatly limited the speed of their progress.

Because they had all put their minds on dealing with these traps, they never noticed that they were within range of the enemy, and none of them fired arrows to warn, let alone shoot arrows to kill themselves.

On the other side of Linhuai City, Lu Xun's troops were fiercely resisted.

The arrows and crossbow javelins in Linhuai City covered up Lu Xun's soldiers and horses as if they didn't want money, and every time the arrows and javelins swooped down, hundreds of people would fall screaming.

Cheng Tai looked at the enemy soldiers who were getting closer and closer below, a smug smile appeared on his face, and he suddenly gave an order: "Burn the crossbow, bring a bow and arrow, and prepare to retreat; The enemy has entered the minefield, point mines! ”

"No!" The soldiers said yes and turned to get ready.

Cheng Tai asked again: "Is there any news of the two generals?" Has the enemy army in the North City already invaded? ”

"Back to the general, the two generals should succeed over there, there is a fire by the river, they should have succeeded! The enemy forces in the northern city have almost reached the bottom of the city! "Eagle Yang scouted the horse and reported to him the information he had just received.

"So good! Prepare to retreat from the South Gate and retreat in the direction of Chengde! Cheng Tai commanded.

"No!" The soldier next to him agreed.

At this time, thousands of soldiers under Lu Xun's command had already entered the minefield arranged by Cheng Tai in advance. Before they could get out of the minefield, they heard several sounds of "bang, bang, bang......", and then looked at where the Wu soldiers who were operating in the minefield had seen such a large destruction, and those who were bombed, those who were not bombed, those who were dead and those who were not dead, were all mixed together.

Lu Xun, who was standing behind the overseer, saw this, and his heart trembled, my mother! What kind of thing is this! With such great lethality, my thousands of soldiers were killed and injured in an instant!

He hastened to stop the advance of the soldiers.

I don't know how many explosives Cheng Tai buried in the ground, blowing up the Wu soldiers within a radius of forty or fifty zhang to pieces, and the bloody scene is comparable to Shura hell!

Since Lu Xun led the troops, he had never seen such a tragic situation.

His eyes were black, and he was about to fall off his horse, but fortunately, there was a general Zhou Jun on the side, who stepped forward on his horse, held him up, and shouted repeatedly: "General, general!" ”

A spirit, Lu Xun woke up from his sadness, glanced at the thousands of dead soldiers, sighed, and sighed: "Hey! It was my recklessness that caused these thousands of soldiers to die! ”

The deputy general You Tu stepped forward and comforted: "General, Xiahou Yuan is leading troops to attack at the north gate, or don't want to be a child, let's take Linhuai first!" ”

What kind of person is Lu Xun! Hearing this, he straightened his face, drew his sword, and shouted: "Sons, rush!" Avenge the death of our brothers! ”

After speaking, he rushed forward.

However, at this time, Xiahou Yuan was in a good mood.

Along the way, except for the battering ram that sank into the ground, the soldiers who climbed the ladder climbed the city wall smoothly.

It turned out that the city was erected by straw men with wooden sticks tied to their sides. The glittering was nothing more than a piece of copper hanging from a stick.

Without much effort, the soldiers easily entered the county seat of Linhuai and opened the city gate from the inside.

Xiahou Yuan, accompanied by his sons Xiahou He, Xiahou Wei, Xiahou Rong and deputy generals Wang Ji, Zhang Wen, Zhang Shao, Xing Yong, Xing You, and others, led all the 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command into Linhuai City, leaving only more than 100 soldiers to rectify the few siege rams.

Seeing that the city was empty, Xiahou Yuan felt that something was wrong, and suddenly thought that Lu Xun was attacking the city at the east gate, and hurriedly asked Xiahou Wei and his deputy generals Wang Ji and Wang Zhong to lead 5,000 troops to the east gate.

Xiahou Yuan didn't want the city he had just occupied to be shared by Lu Xun!

Xiahou Wei left with the soldiers, but Xiahou Yuan heard the report from behind him, and Xiahou Hui came with his troops.

What the? Xiahou Hui brought troops over? Didn't he let him guard the ship, what did he do? Isn't something happening?

Xiahou Yuan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly took Xiahou and the others to greet him.

Sure enough, Xiahou Hui's helmet was crooked, and he looked embarrassed.

"Hui'er, what the hell is going on? You're so embarrassed! Xiahou Yuan asked eagerly.

"Father, our unit was attacked by General Lu Meng, and all the ships on the shore were burned." Xiahou Hui said eagerly, turning around and pointing into the distance.

Only then did Xiahou Yuan look in the direction of his ship, and sure enough, he saw a puff of white smoke drifting in the air.

The old general's beard trembled, and he was furious: "Bold Lu Ziming, dare to bully me!" ”

After speaking, he told the generals to take care of the city gate, and then rode his horse straight to the east gate.

He wanted to meet Lu Xun and ask why he broke the contract!

It's a pity that what he didn't figure out was that it was Lu Meng who negotiated with him, not Lu Xun! In addition, Lu Xun had just lost thousands of soldiers and horses, and at this time, Zhao Zhai, the general of Lu Xun's escort ship, caught up!

Lu Xun was even more furious when he heard this, and he really added fuel to the fire: "Xiahou Miaocai, don't you want to deceive people too much!" This time, we must take Linhuai down first, and then find Xiahou Miao to settle this account! ”

After speaking, he took You Tu, Zhou Jun and others to rush up.

But I heard a voice from the top of the city tower: "Lu Boyan, don't come closer, otherwise this bow and arrow has no eyes and hurts the harmony!" ”

Lu Xun still looked at it, but saw that a general in the city was waving his hand towards himself and others, and the anger in his heart became even more unbearable, pointing at the person and asking, "Who are you?" ”

"A certain is Xiahou Miaocai's son Xiahou Wei Xiahou Jiquan is also! Don't wait for your efforts to be in vain! Saying goes; 'Stealing chickens doesn't make rice. "You have a good idea, my father led the troops to attract the Han army, and you took the opportunity to seize this Linhuai county!" But I don't want to, the Han army set up a scene here and blew up thousands of your soldiers with gunpowder! And our soldiers occupied this city bloodlessly! Xiahou Wei said to Lu Xun proudly.

Lu Xun calmed down his emotions, put the sword back, and said in a loud voice: "Xiahou Jiquan, I don't know if your father is in the city?" ”

As soon as his words fell, he heard an old voice in the city like a bell: "Old man Xiahou Miao has just arrived here!" I don't know what Lu Boyan is looking for? ”

Lu Xun raised his voice and said: "Dare to ask why the old general sent troops to burn my warships, kill my soldiers, and break the covenant?" ”

"Vertical Zi'an dares to confuse right and wrong, black and white upside down? Obviously, you and others abandoned the covenant and ignored it, and first caused the soldiers and horses to burn our warships, and almost killed my son! Now that the wicked dare to sue first, don't you really want me to fail? Xiahou Yuan wanted to ask Lu Xun why he brought troops here, but he didn't expect Lu Xun to ask for guilt as soon as he came up.

His old man has been a person who only takes advantage of him all his life and does not suffer losses, but now that he has suffered a secret loss, how can he be easily forgiven?

When Lu Xun heard it, what? Shall we abandon the covenant first?

He was cautious, so he looked back at Zhao Zhai.

Zhao Zhai whispered: "General, I'm afraid it's their resignation." That's what the soldiers they sent said. ”

Hearing this, Lu Xun should regard Xiahou Yuan's pushing like this as an excuse to occupy Linhuai.

He pointed at Xiahou Yuan with a horsewhip and scolded sharply: "Xiahou Miaocai, you old horseman listen up!" If you let Linhuai out, it's fine! If not, his army will break through the city! ”

After speaking, he took the soldiers and horses and headed towards Tuzhong.

Someone wants to ask, where are the more than 2,000 people in Cheng Tai's department?

It turned out that after detonating the explosives, Cheng Tai led his soldiers out of the west gate and headed for Chengde.

This step was a ploy that Jia Xu handed over to Guan Suo, the protector of Yangzhou.

He wanted to make the Sun Cao family have a grudge, especially the Xiahou family and the Eastern Wu family, and then Xiahou said that the Xiahou Ba brothers would definitely go to assist his father Xiahou Yuan.

In this way, the Xiahou family returned to the court and returned to the court. Cao Wei's side will lose a large part of its strength, and it can also put the land of Xuzhou under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty; And from then on, the two families of Sun Cao lost contact, and the imperial court could be broken individually, and the trend of unification was not becoming a reality!

Cheng Tai entered Chengde with his soldiers.

Wang Yi and Long Jia were already waiting in the city with their soldiers.

The two connected Cheng Tai to the city and asked Cheng Tai about his next plan.

Cheng Taiyan said: "The governor (their title for the protector of the capital, here refers to Guan Suo) has an explanation, and we will wait in this city for the time being." It is believed that soon, Tu Zhong's strong cavalry general Deng Qiang will withdraw to Chengde. ”

Wang Yi asked puzzledly: "General, why did you give up the two cities to them for nothing?" ”

Cheng Tai smiled slightly and said, "What do you mean by giving hands?" Just two empty cities, you can replace their internal strife, wouldn't it save tens of thousands of troops of our army? ”
