Chapter 176 Attacking Liang Mao and making meritorious contributions, guarding Huainan Yuan Shu is a strong soldier

The above book mentioned that Liang Mao killed Meng Guang and broke through the Yingshui Ferry, and the Yingshang guards Meng Kang and Meng Zong were shocked, and first sent someone to send a letter to Shouchun City, and then led the troops and horses to kill them.

Liang Mao had just set up the camp when a soldier suddenly reported: "Lord Sima, there are thousands of enemy troops in the direction of Yingshang!"

"Looks like someone from the guards here has escaped! Biography of Zhang Sima, Li Sima, and Wang Sima. "Liang Mao sent people to send three Sima.

After a while, the three Sima arrived.

Liang Mao said: "Yingshang soldiers and horses came to the rescue, and our camp was just formed, and we couldn't withstand their impact. Therefore, a certain wants to go out of the camp to fight! What kind of do you have? ”

"But please give the order from Sima!" The three of them replied together.

Seeing that the servants readily agreed, Liang Mao sighed in his heart: Liu Xuande's subordinates are all elite soldiers! Hua Xiong is just a subordinate general under his command, and he is so brave when he sends three soldiers and horses casually, and it is really extraordinary.

But he heard him say: "Zhang Sima led the army and horses of the headquarters to meet the enemy, and Li Sima and Wang Sima each led the army and horses of the headquarters to the mountain col in front, and then rushed to kill from both wings when they fought with the enemy." We are attacking in three directions, and the enemy army is in chaos, but it can be broken! ”

"Whoa!" The three of them agreed, and each gathered his troops and horses.

After a short time, the three of them will lead troops to meet Liang Mao.

Liang Mao climbed the watchtower, looked at the enemy army that was rushing, and then got off the tower and led the troops and horses out of the village.

Swinging the army, Meng Kang saw a sentry in front of him, with thousands of horses, blocking the way.

More than 100 zhang apart, Meng Kang stopped the army, rode his horse, came to the front of the two armies, and shouted loudly: "Ah! Who is on the other side, and why is it violating my border? ”

Liang Mao smiled coldly, slowly walked out of the formation, and replied loudly: "Meng Kang, do you know something?" ”

"It turned out to be Lord Zuo Shu Peng Liang Mao." Meng Kang knew Liang Mao. After all, as a cavalry captain, he can also be regarded as a general under the command of the former general Yuan Shu. What's more, now that Yuan Shu is the emperor, they are all generals.

"You lead troops to attack so-and-so?" Liang Mao asked angrily.

In fact, Meng Kang and Meng Zong already knew that Yan Xiang and Liang Mao had escaped from Huainan. Seeing that Liang Mao was still pretending to be sympathetic, Meng Zong angrily reprimanded: "Liang Mao, a person who betrays his country, how dare he live as an adult?!" Where is my brother Meng Guang? ”

Liang Mao laughed and said, "Meng Guang?!" He has fallen into the river, and you can go into the water to find him! ”

The soldiers behind him burst into laughter.

Meng Zong was furious and swung his sword to take Liang Mao.

Seeing Meng Zong rushing forward, Liang Mao took the lead, leading his troops and horses to rush up with shouts.

Meng Kang also waved his army to kill.

The two armies fought together, Liang Mao held a knife against Meng Zong, and Zhang Sima and Meng Kang met.

The mountain cols on both sides suddenly rang out in the sky, and two more soldiers and horses were killed, which were the subordinates of Li and Wang Ersima. As soon as they entered the battlefield, they disrupted the formation of Meng Kang and Meng Zong's subordinates. Meng Kang's subordinate soldiers were in chaos all of a sudden, and the crying father who was killed shouted his mother and fled in all directions.

Seeing that the enemy army was strong, Meng Kang and Meng Zong hurriedly abandoned their opponents, turned their horses and fled.

How could Liang Mao let them go?

He led the three Sima to chase and kill closely, and drove out the Meng brothers for more than 30 miles.

After some rushing and killing, Meng Kang and Meng Zong finally escaped from the encirclement, fled back to Yingshang, and gathered the soldiers who fled back, but only five or six hundred. In this battle, they lost more than sixty percent of their soldiers.

"Big brother, the third brother must have been killed by Liang Mao! This revenge must be avenged! Meng Zong said sadly.

Meng Kang muttered, "Revenge? I'm afraid it's hard for you and me to protect ourselves! Two thousand elite soldiers, only five or six hundred remained, in one battle. The enemy army will come to the city in a few days, so why will you and I defend the city? ”

"There are more than 2,000 Yellow Turban soldiers in the southwest, and the leader He Puppet is friendly with the third brother. Why didn't the eldest brother send someone to beg for help? Meng Zong reminded.

"What a puppet? You don't say anything, but you have forgotten! Thou hast come and please! Meng Kang was overjoyed when he heard this.

Meng Zong hurried away.

At the same time, Liang Mao had already cleaned up the battlefield, gathered the soldiers, counted the casualties, returned to the battalion, and housed the wounded.

Soon, Hua Xiong took Hao Yin and Pei An to lead an army of more than 10,000 people to cross Yingshui and successfully landed.

Liang Mao reported the past results to Hua Xiong, and said: "A hundred miles away is the first city in the Huainan realm-Yingshang. The defenders are the remnants of the brothers Meng Kang and Meng Zong, but there are only a few hundred people! ”

"Very good!" Hua Xiong then sent a letter to Liu Bei as soon as possible.

Yan Xiang also offered a plan to Huaxiong: "General, although Yingshang is the county seat, it is indeed the closest city in Huainan to Yingshui. When the quick attack, the base has been made! ”

Hua Xiong nodded and said, "What Cheng Yi said is extremely true. ”

Liang Mao took the opportunity to ask Hua Xiong for battle: "The last general is willing to lead troops to capture Yingshang!" ”

"The Yingshang city wall is tall and sturdy, if you want to attack it, you may have to do it!" Yan Xiang knew a lot about Yingshang City, and said with concern in his heart, "There are more than 2,000 Yellow Turban thieves here, and the leader is called a puppet. It is rumored that this thief has a good relationship with Meng Guang, the third young man of the Meng family, so that he can survive here for a long time. This time, Meng Guang died at the ferry, and Meng Kang and Meng Zong were defeated in the wild, how could they give up? I thought they would ask for help! ”

Hearing this, Hua Xiong was shocked, after all, nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses guarding a small city with strong walls was far stronger than five or six hundred people, and it could not be calculated according to multiples at all.

He hurriedly asked Yan Xiang: "Is there a way to become righteous?" ”

Yan Xiang said: "As a Yellow Turban, He Puppet naturally has the viciousness of a Yellow Turban thief. If our army does not come to the city for the time being, and let them live in the city, there will be evil in three or five days! When the time comes, the odds of victory in the siege are very high! ”

Liang Maoyan said: "According to what Chengyi said, our army will rest here for three days. During this period, a certain faction entered the city, spread false rumors, and falsely claimed that the Yellow Turban thieves persecuted the people and created chaos in the city. When chaos broke out, so-and-so drove troops to attack the city. ”

"You just send people into the city to spread rumors, and when chaos happens, a certain person will lead troops and horses to attack the city!" Hua Xiong said.

"No!" Liang Mao agreed and went down to prepare.

Without further ado, it remains to be said in the book.

Meng Zong invited He Puppet and led the Yellow Turban soldiers into the city.

The Yellow Turban soldiers were barbaric and unruly, and they were invited by the government to enter the city and privately enter the people's houses and oppress the people's daughters.

For a time, the people of Yingshang took refuge one after another, and they didn't dare to go out during the day, so they hid the woman in the house and locked the courtyard door.

Meng Kang had the heart to reprimand He Puppet, and thought that he still needed He Puppet's help, so he endured it.

Seeing Meng Kang and Meng Zong's respectful and respectful appearances to him, He Puppet enjoyed it very much, and was even more fearless, openly molesting the maids and mother-in-law of Mengfu.

The people in the city were miserable one by one, and they dared not speak out in anger.

Two days later, there was a rumor that the Yellow Turban Army broke into people's houses and oppressed people's girls. The government was occupied by the Yellow Turbans.

The people were terrified and did not know what to do, and they hid in their houses in fear.

Seeing that the effect was achieved, he went out of the city overnight and reported to Huaxiong.

After receiving the news, Huaxiong was overjoyed, and took advantage of the night to gather troops and come to the outside of Yingshang City.

"General, the person on duty tonight is our army, and he will shake the torch three times. He is responsible for opening the city gates, and as soon as the city gates are opened, our army can occupy Yingshang in an instant! Xizuo reported to Huaxiong.

"Very good!" Hua Xiong then made a secret code.

I saw that after learning three cat meows, a torch appeared in the city and shook it three times in a row.

"Lord, he's here!" Huaxiong's side said carefully.

Then, the gate of Yingshang was beaten in the dark.

Hua Xiong was overjoyed, took the lead, and rushed into the city with soldiers and horses.

Pei An and his people quickly took control of the three city gates on Yingshang, and under the guidance of Xi Zuo, all the city gate guards were captured.

Meng Kang and Meng Zong, who were in their sleep, were awakened by the soldiers who broke into the mansion, hurriedly put on their helmets and armor, hurriedly lifted their weapons, and rushed out of the mansion, just in time for Hua Xiong, who rushed over.

Huaxiong jumped on his horse and raised his sword, and actually cut Meng Kang.

Meng Kang raised his gun in a hurry to meet him, but he was slashed by Hua Xiong in the middle of the big gun, and was vigorously chopped off the horse by Hua Xiong. Before he could get up, the soldiers who rushed up behind him raised their swords and killed him.

Seeing that the eldest brother was killed, Meng Zong waved his sword, slashed the soldier, and came to fight Huaxiong again.

Hua Xiong leaned over his broadsword, and took advantage of the misstep of the two horses to hit him in the back with the back handle of the sword. Meng Zong was injured by this sudden attack!

"Wow!" With a bang, a mouthful of blood spurted out of Meng Zong's mouth, and it actually stained the neck of the war horse red.

Hua Xiong turned his horse back, waved his knife and took the head of Meng Zongxiang, and with a "click", he cut it down.

In a few faces, Hua Xiong killed the Meng brothers, frightening the Meng soldiers who were fighting on the field.

"The thief has been executed, when will you wait if you don't surrender?" He carried Meng Zong's head and shouted loudly.

There were only a few hundred survivors under Meng Kang's command, and half of them died after this fight. Now there are only more than 300 soldiers left who have lost their weapons and bowed down to surrender.

Killing the Meng brothers, Hua Xiong led his troops and horses straight to the county office, and blocked all the yellow scarves of He Puppet's department entrenched in the county office.

"What puppet, don't you want to change your ways, and you still want to rebel?" Liang Mao rebuked loudly.

He Puppet said disdainfully: "You are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but in the end, it is not that you are cheating, and the villain is powerful?" It's better to walk through the woods and rob the rich and help the poor! ”

Seeing that he refused to surrender, Hua Xiong sent his soldiers and horses to rush in.

The disparity in troops, the victory and defeat are obvious.

killed He Puppet, and Hua Xiong was able to do his best.

However, it was said that at this time, a messenger sent by Meng Kang had already rushed to Shouchun to report the battle situation to the general Zhang Xunyu.

Zhang Xun learned that the war was not good, so he hurried to the palace and reported to Yuan Shuyuan, the emperor of the Zhong family: "Liu Bei of Xuzhou dares to defy His Majesty's Tianwei and send troops to stand up for the little emperor!" ”

"Is there such a thing?!" Emperor Yuan Shu's dream had just begun, where did he think that the princes would have such a reaction.

"Your Majesty should send reinforcements from Yuzhou soldiers and horses to repel Liu Bei's soldiers and horses!" Zhang Xun said.

Yuan Shu nodded and said: "You quickly go to Yuzhou to recruit troops and horses, and you must block Liu Bei from crossing the river!" ”

At this moment, a person walked in from outside the palace and said loudly: "Lord, not only to make people block Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, but also to beware of Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Cao Cao in Yanzhou!" ”

Yuan Shu and Zhang Xun raised their eyes to watch, it was him......
