Chapter 246: Hong County
Wei Liu'er was shocked and shouted: "Brothers, if you fight, if you don't fight, there will be no way to live." He didn't dare to take his edge directly, and urged the horse to order everyone to kill the flank of the Liu Var army, wanting to fight his way out of the encirclement and kill a bloody road. There was a thud. The soldiers on the opposite side had stopped, and the black-armored soldiers in the front row held shields and stuck them on the ground, and in an instant they had formed a copper wall and iron wall, but there was a little flash of light behind the copper wall, which was a little cold light emitted from spears, machetes, and feather arrows.
Some of the thieves stopped, their legs were weak, and some of them didn't know the stakes, so they still rushed forward without waiting for their lives, and before they got to the front, there was a loud sound, and the feather arrows came over. Overwhelmed, a group of bandits who rushed to the forefront fell impressively. Under the sun, blood blooms like flowers, and in the battle, life is as humble as mustard. The blood mist was blurred, and the thieves were panicked, but they had not lost their minds. Frightened, he fled to the side, and the black-armored soldiers on the opposite side also stopped, their shields poked into the ground, and they were ready to fight, ruthless. More blood gushed out, more bandits fell, but the phalanx of the Liufa army stood still, nearly a thousand bandits attacked, and the Sui army could not move a single cent. Wei Liu'er was already red-eyed, and he worked hard in an instant. He had already rushed in all directions, but all sides were as hard as mountain rocks, and nearly a thousand bandits had lost most of them. Wei Liu'er felt like a trapped beast in a cage, there were cold shields, cold bows and arrows, and cold spears everywhere, he was full of blood, but no one was against him.
"Follow me." Wei Liu'er gritted his teeth and urged the horse, rushing towards the direction of Hongchengdi, whether he could survive the last fight here. The horses spurred up. Very fast, Wei Liu'er crouched down, braving the rain of arrows, and saw that he was about to reach the officers and soldiers opposite. There was another snort, and a little cold light flashed from the iron wall. Wei Liu'er only felt cold in several places on his body at the same time. The hot stuff flowed out, and it hurt in an instant. There was a scream behind him, I don't know how many arrows he had been hit, and how many of his men had died, but he finally arrived in front of the black-armored soldier! The horse neighed, jumped over with long arrows, and jumped over with inertia, and behind the iron wall, more than a dozen spears pierced out, hitting Wei Liu'er's body, holding him alive in the air, and blood burst out and sprayed on the shield!
Wei Liu'er was covered in blood, the person was stiff in the air, and he looked at the past with difficulty, only then did he see that there were countless spears and short knives waiting behind the shield, but he no longer felt cold and frightened at this moment. The spear was withdrawn, Wei Liu'er fell to the dust like a dead dog, rolled down on the ground, looked up at the sky, and felt that the sun turned blood-red, and it was dark in an instant, Wei Liu'er's last thought was, his grandmother's, which one was Liu Fa, Lao Tzu didn't see him until he died!
After the black-armored soldiers disposed of this bandit, they immediately disappeared and did not go to Hongcheng, now is not the time.
Since Dali conquered Yangfu, he took the equipment and granaries of the Cao family, and now it is well-equipped, which is not inferior to any soldiers and horses in the southwest. Cao Ming, the commander of Hongcheng County, also sent troops to engage in battle when the bandits came, but after discovering this, he retreated to the city and closed his door. The bandits are surrounded on three sides, and Hongcheng is impenetrable, but fortunately, Hongcheng faces the river on the other side, after all, the bandits can't enclose the Yangtze River, and they don't have the strength to choke the Yangtze River, which makes Cao Ming not in a hurry to escape, if there is only this bandit, he may not be afraid, but he knows that the bandits have such power, not by virtue of the majesty of Dali, and this is also the reason, so he has to find a way to take out Hongcheng. But even if you run for your life, you have to do it quietly, thinking of this, Cao Ming sighed and told his cronies to hurry up and prepare. There is a beacon volcano dozens of miles east of Hongcheng, with continuous mountains and undulating hills in the middle. Feng Volcano is the highest mountain in Hongcheng, and it has always been the commanding heights of the enemy. Bandits are rampant, Cao Ming is retreating to Hongcheng, and the role of early warning here has long been weakened, and it can even be said that there are few people.
At the top of the mountain, both of them raised their eyes and looked into the direction of Hongcheng. "General, won't I send troops yet?"
Lu Xuan stood beside Xiao Buyi and asked in a deep voice. Liu Fa stood on the beacon volcano and muttered for a long time before saying, "The time has not yet come. This beacon volcano is the commanding heights near here, and it is quite convenient to observe the movement of the enemy army, this bandit did not send troops to occupy it, but just attacked Hongcheng vigorously, and it seems that he is also brave and unscrupulous! With our strength, it is not difficult to repel the bandits besieging Hongcheng, but the difficulty is that we may not be able to take Hongcheng! The siege of more than 10,000 bandits is impossible to attack, and we are only thousands of cavalry, and it is even more difficult to attack the city. ”
Lu Xuan nodded, then fell silent again, and after a while, he raised his head again, as if he thought of something: "What the general said is good, but if you wait like this, when is the opportunity?" Why don't we pretend to be officers and soldiers, follow the method of outwitting Xiangyin City, deceive the gate of Xiangyin City, merge inside and outside, and then rush in? ”
Liu Fan smiled and shook his head: "What is the matter, how can it be any more?" It was a risky move to take Xiangyin City at the beginning, but it was also a last resort, we were the first to destroy the king of Louluo, and with Cao Kang, the anti-bone boy, we could take Xiangyin, but now the situation is somewhat different. First of all, Cao Ming was wary of us, and secondly, after we captured Xiangyin, Cao Ming, who had already sent local county officials to lobby Hongcheng, was unsuccessful. Hmph, the people of the Cao family have always hated us, and they only said that they would be loyal to the Cao family, and almost cut off the hands of those who were going to lobby. ”
"This guy doesn't know what to do, when we attack Hongcheng County, the first thing is to cut him!" The corners of Lu Xuan's mouth grinned, and he said viciously.
Liu Fa laughed: "If we can get General Lu to make a move, Cao Ming also has a good face." Hearing Liu Fa's words, Lu Xuan was immediately a little impressed, although he was also brave, but if he was compared with Qing Yunfei and them, it was still much worse. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, for a while, the two of them didn't look like they were about to go on an expedition, but just went to Hongcheng as guests.
Liu Fa kept looking into the distance, suddenly his eyes flashed, he looked down the mountain, ran up the mountain out of breath, and said loudly: "General, there is news from Hongcheng. ”
Lu Xuan suddenly realized, "General, it turns out that you have already sent someone to ambush in Hongcheng?" ”
Liu Fa laughed, "Of course, in fact, not only Hongcheng, the place we want to take in the southwest, has already paved the way, just waiting for us to go to meet it." ”
Stretched out his hand to take the letter handed by Han Ju, Liu Fa just glanced at it, handed it to Lu Xuan, and said with a smile: "Now the time has finally come, the county guard Cao Ming is ready to flee for his life, if he goes, Hongcheng is in our hands!" ”
