Chapter 272 The small wharf is a high-level cadre, and Luoyang City Sima is deployed

As mentioned in the above book, Su Ze learned that Hao Zhao had dedicated the city, and decisively retreated to the riverbank ferry south of Keiguan with the soldiers and horses in the house.

This riverside ferry is not easy to say.

In today's words, it's like a watchtower. There are only two gates, one leading to the river and one to the people.

The city tower is more than ten zhang high, and the city wall is about three feet thick. The tower is divided into three floors, the first floor is a corridor for travelers, but enters; The side of the city tower is controlled by a heavy gate, which is difficult to overcome even with a battering ram; The second layer has more than a dozen cat's eyes, which are good battlements for archers to shoot; The third layer is the pass, which can accommodate more than 2,000 people to carry out fortifications.

This level is actually no worse than Keiguan, and it is better at defense, which can be described as a dangerous pass that cannot be opened!

The port can only accommodate 5,000 people, and all boarding points can only be boarded from the pier. Therefore, the ferry became the only place to cross the river.

Su Ze came to the outside of the dock, directly ordered the soldiers and horses to camp outside the gate, leaving the deputy general to guard, and then entered the fortress of the dock.

Two hours later, the deputy general who went to transfer troops broke out of Kei Pass with nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses and came to the outside of the dock.

Looking at the soldiers and horses rushing in a hurry, Su Ze sighed and said to himself: "I really didn't expect that Hao Bodao had only a thousand people, and he would destroy nearly 10,000 of my soldiers and horses!" ”

The guard of the dock garrison was surnamed Li and his name was Yuan. This person has a lot to do with Su Ze, and even the guards of this dock garrison also relied on Su Ze's help.

He said to Su Ze: "General, Hao Bodao has to be recommended by Sima Yi to have this position. Now that he has lost his pass, why not write to the prime minister and explain the reason? ”

"So-and-so has already sent someone! It's just that if Gao Gan and the others attack the dock, we should be careful! Su looked worriedly in the direction of Keiguan.

Su Ze's fears soon became a reality.

The next day, a troop appeared in his field of vision.

The person at the head is not someone else, it is the Marquis of Jinyang, the chief general of this army, Gao Gan Gao Yuanbo.

"I really can't underestimate Su Ze!" Gao Gan pointed to the military camp outside the small city, and said to Guo Yuan and the others, "The camp and the fortress echo from end to end, if we send troops to attack, we will inevitably be attacked by them!" ”

Guo Yuan looked at the camp in front of him and said, "My lord, it seems that there will not be more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the camp outside the city. Our army has more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, which is enough to divide the troops. ”

Gao Gan nodded with a smile and said: "The battle between me and us should be broken with superior forces!" How can the troops in the mere fortress shake the hearts of our army? Guo Yuan, take the lead, the two of you lead 5,000 troops and horses to line up in a good position in case Su Ze sends troops. The rest of the generals will follow me against the camp! ”

"No!" The people will be commanded.

Su Ze never expected that Gao Gan would be able to launch an attack as soon as he came up.

It turned out that Gao Gan himself really did not have the certainty of winning this battle.

These are all instructions given by Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang had long expected that Su Ze would retreat to the dock fortress and Chen soldiers would be outside, so he explained to Hou Cheng and told Gao Gan.

In this way, Gao Gan dared to wave his troops to attack.

Su Ze got the letter early.

Standing at the top of the rampart, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Someone, beat the drum and give the order!" He commanded hurriedly.

Yes, that's all he can do now......

The rapid sound of the drums of "Knock ......" alarmed the general in the camp.

The general hurriedly straightened his armor, lifted his blade, mounted his horse, and came to the outside of the camp.

Looking at the black oppression, he gasped, and then said to the soldiers behind him: "The enemy has been chased and killed, are you ready?" It's time for us to make a difference! The drums responded to the ramparts to let the general know that we had begun to fight. Let the enemy wait for us to flank us! ”

"Flank! Attacks! The soldiers howled.

The morale of the soldiers is often attracted by the hope of victory.

The general really captured the hearts of these soldiers and succeeded in inspiring the war.

With his command, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses pounced on the high-ranking soldiers and horses killed on the opposite side like hornets out of the nest.

"General, the enemy is out of camp!" Xia Zhao said to Gao Gan.

"Sure enough, as Lord Zhuge said, the enemy troops in the camp will definitely pour out of the nest and pounce on us like mad dogs!" Looking up at the rushing enemy troops, Gao Gan laughed, "Xia Zhao, Deng Sheng, you two each lead five thousand horse infantry towards the enemy's flank, so that they can also taste the taste of defending and attacking." ”

"No!" Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng took the order and left.

Gao Gan commanded again: "Wang Mo, are the archers ready?!" ”

"Back to the lord, the archers are on standby."

"Good!"

The soldiers who rushed over never expected that they would be greeted by a rain of arrows and locusts......

In an instant, hundreds of soldiers fell to the ground......

The morale that had just been built up gradually eroded under this round of arrows......

"Ah...... Ah......h The crumbling military spirit is like a precarious broken bridge.

At this moment, there were bursts of shouts of killing from their wings.

"Kill! Kill...... Don't let a person go! ”

"Surround them, don't let a single person go!"

……

Then, a group of horses and soldiers appeared in their field of vision.

The charging soldiers came to a complete halt.

They were reckless.

The leader of the general shouted: "Rush! Kill it! As long as we join General Su, we will win! ”

However, his voice was soon drowned out by the cacophony of panicked soldiers.

"Don't listen to them, run! There is no one behind to intercept, run back! Someone started screaming.

"Yes! Come on...... It's too late to run! ”

……

The panicked soldiers began to scurry around like headless flies, trampling on each other......

Looking at the chaotic situation of the other party, Gao Gan calmly ordered: "It's time!" Charge! ”

"Kill!" Wang Mo led the soldiers to rush out.

……

The more than 10,000 soldiers that Su Ze left in the camp outside were defeated by Gao Gan in this way.

The leading general also died in the chaos.

Su Ze, who was on the city rampart, looked at the neat phalanx below, and knew in his heart that he had completely failed this battle. Whether it will be able to hold the fortress is still unknown.

There are still a few days of food left in the ramparts!

But once the food runs out, it's time for defeat!

Thinking of this, he Su made what he thought was the wisest decision.

"Quickly drive the boat to Luoyang and ask for help from the Metropolitan Governor!" He ordered one of the guards beside him.

"No!" The guard said yes and turned to leave.

At the same time, the senior cadres gathered a large group of soldiers and horses, and Chen was outside the fortress.

Guo Yuan came to Gao Gan and said, "Didn't Lord Zhuge say that after defeating the soldiers and horses outside the city, you should quickly cut off the boats walking on the water? What does the lord think?! ”

Gao Gan looked at the river and said excitedly: "Su Ze will definitely not stick to this, and will definitely send someone to Luoyang for help!" Lord Zhuge is really a god! Well, you quickly send men into the river and intercept all ships! ”

"No!" Guo Yuan agreed and was just about to leave.

Suddenly, a soldier hurriedly ran over: "Lord Qi, a small boat on the river galloped out and went straight to Luoyang!" ”

"Okay! Su Ze is really extraordinary! Gao Gan actually laughed.

Guo Yuan asked puzzledly: "Su Ze sent an envoy to Luoyang, didn't he send a letter to Cao Ren?" Why does the lord ......?"

"Thou knowest one and thou shalt not know the other!" Gao Gan held the saddle bridge in his hand, turned his head to him and said, "Lord Zhuge still has an explanation, if someone has already broken through, let it go." He has his own arrangement! All we have to do is stop the back one! ”

Without waiting for Guo Yuan to think clearly, Gao Gan turned his head and instructed the two of them: "You and others lead the troops and horses of the headquarters, mobilize catapults, and attack in the southeast and northeast directions!" ”

……

Press them and don't say it, and then say that the messenger arrived in Luoyang.

Knowing that Keiguan was lost, Cao Ren sat down on the chair in vain, and muttered: "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it......"

Sima Yi was also frightened, and worried that Zhuge Liang would make a move on Luoyang, so he hurriedly persuaded him: "Governor, governor." Keiguan has been lost, and it is a foregone conclusion that Gao Gan will attack the river! I'll be ready for it! ”

After a long time, Cao Ren slapped the table suddenly, pointed at Sima Yi, and asked sharply: "Sima Zhongda, are you guilty?" ”

"Calm your anger!" Sima Yi hurriedly confessed, and then said, "My subordinates have a good relationship with the governor. ”

"Tell me about it."

"The subordinates recommended Hao Zhao Hao Bodao, because because of this, he has the ability to defend the city. However, this person is unkind, it is really a different feeling, and his subordinates really don't know! I hope the governor will forgive your sins! ”

"Humph!" Cao Ren snorted coldly and turned his back on his face.

Seeing Cao Ren like this, Sima Yi's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "My subordinates know that they are guilty of a lot of crimes, but now that the enemy army is approaching the city, I hope that the governor can give his subordinates a chance to make meritorious contributions!" ”

"The high-ranking soldiers will cross the river in a few days! At that time, Luoyang will face enemies on three fronts. Do you have a solution? If you can solve this situation, you will be forgiven! It seems that Cao Ren really didn't want to punish Sima Yi.

Sima Yi hurriedly said: "Once the high-level soldiers and horses cross the river, it won't be terrible if they really drive the troops to Luoyang!" If the troops are driven directly to the pond, it will cut off the retreat of our army! Please also ask the governor to make arrangements as soon as possible. ”

"Attack Michi?" Hearing this, Cao Ren walked to the table, spread out the map, and looked at it.

After a long time, he asked, "How is the strength of the senior cadres?" ”

"Thirty or fifty thousand!"

"Thirty or fifty thousand?! But the high-ranking cadres are all their troops? ”

"Not bad! I heard that his family members also seem to have arrived in Xuzhou. The eight generals under him all went out with the army. "Sima Yi's intelligence work is very well done.

"In that case, the important town of Michi can't afford to lose!" Cao Ren thought for a moment, and then said to Sima Yi, "I don't worry about others guarding it!" Are you willing? ”
