Chapter 204: Hetao Emergency
"Uh~~ That's not right!" Before Jia Xu finished speaking, he suddenly changed his words, "Lord, although this siege bamboo ladder is extremely powerful, it has a fatal weakness. ”
Ma Yue was shocked when he heard this, and said in a condensed voice: "What weakness? ”
Jia Xu was not in a hurry, and slowly said something, Ma Yue's face changed greatly when he heard it, and he lost his voice: "If it is as Wenhe said, it is almost hopeless to capture Lintao." ”
Jia Xu said: "However, there may not be such a sharp weapon in Lintao City. ”
……
The Tiger Prison is closed.
Lu Bu fought in front of the pass for five consecutive days, the eighteenth Kwantung coalition army was closed and no one dared to respond, the young general Zhao Yun asked for battle several times, but was stopped by Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Fei wanted to go out of the camp several times to fight and was also stopped by Liu Bei! Liu Bei thought to himself that even the fierce generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou under Yuan Shao died under Lu Bu's halberd, how could Lu Bu's strength be underestimated?
Liu Bei is not like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao's fierce generals are like clouds, and his ministers are like rain, but Liu Bei only has two generals in front of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and Yuan Shao's death of two generals is nothing, but if Liu Bei breaks Zhang Fei, it will be a broken muscle, so unless it is a last resort, Liu Bei will certainly not let Zhang Fei take risks.
This did not change until the sixth day.
On the sixth day after the Eighteenth Route Kwantung Coalition Army entered the Tiger Prison Pass, Ma Yuebu escorted Xu Chu from Youzhou to the Tiger Prison Pass.
As soon as Xu Chu arrived at the barracks, he heard that there were people fighting in front of the pass, and when he walked up to the gate, he saw that it was Lu Bu in Bingzhou, but there was silence in the camp of the 18th Kwantung Alliance, and no one dared to go out of the camp to fight, Xu Chu couldn't help but be furious, carrying a wolf's tooth hammer and stepping on a Dawan BMW to fight Lu Bu.
Ma Teng and Guo Tu tried desperately to block it, but they couldn't stop it after all.
Xu Chu slapped his horse out of the battle, raised the wolf's tooth hammer with one hand and pointed at Lu Bu, and shouted: "Lu Bu'er, do you know so?" ”
"Huh?"
Lu Bu was galloping back and forth on his horse, and suddenly saw that the Kwantung Army camp was open, and a tower-like military general had already galloped out of the horse. But that was more than a year ago, and the two fought each other in that battle.
After that, Ma Yue's sentence suddenly threw a cold arrow, and Lu Bu was caught off guard by the plot and almost died at the hands of Xu Chu.
"Is that you?" Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice, "Xu Chu! ”
For that battle, Lu Bu can be said to remember it vividly, and of course he will not forget Xu Chu.
Xu Chu waved the wolf's tooth hammer in his hand majestically, and shouted: "Last time in Bisondu, you were lucky to escape with a surname, and this time you will be splashed with blood on the spot." ”
As soon as Xu Chu's words came out, the Kwantung soldiers who were huddled in the camp to watch the battle suddenly lifted their spirits!
I thought that Lu Bulian beheaded Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other sixteen generals in the Kwantung region, and they were already unparalleled fierce generals in the world, but I didn't expect that there were even more fierce generals in the coalition army, looking at this posture, the two seemed to have fought once before, and it was Xu Chu who had the upper hand, but I didn't know if it was true or not?
Yuan Shao, Cao Ying, and other eighteen-way Kwantung warlords who had just boarded the gate changed color one after another, and they all looked around and asked, "Who is this?" ”
Someone who knew Xu Chu replied in a low voice: "This person is Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang, the fierce generals under the command of Liangzhou Thorn Shi, Guan Neihou, and Ma Yue, the commander of the horses. ”
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others suddenly showed jealousy when they heard this, but Cao Ying and Liu Bei were shocked.
The warlords of the eighteen towns had their own concerns, and suddenly heard a loud shout in front of the pass, and when they looked up urgently, they saw Lu Bu turning sideways to Fang Tian to draw the halberd, pointing at Xu Chu and scolding: "Xu Chu, horseman!" Hugh is to be ashamed of his words. Last time, if it weren't for the horse butcher who sent someone to release a secret arrow to plot against the general, you would have been dead for a long time. ”
"Less blowing atmosphere!" Xu Chu shouted, "Do you dare to fight with a certain person for another three hundred rounds?" ”
Lu Bu laughed angrily, and said in a long voice: "Although the horse is released, this general said that if you can't behead you under the horse, you will definitely kill yourself to thank the world!" ”
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The two of them shouted at the same time and galloped forward.
Suddenly, the two horses intersected, and Lu Bu let out a long roar, and slashed out with all his strength! Fang Tian's halberd, which was more than three zhang long, drew a dazzling cold light in the air, like a galloping dragon, slashing sideways with a tragic killing aura, Xu Chu's eyes were wide with anger, his expression was hideous, and his strong arm muscles rose in an instant, and in the thunderous shout, the heavy wolf's tooth hammer had already met it without any tricks.
"Boom!"
Fang Tian's painting halberd and the wolf's tooth hammer struck each other fiercely, and in the sound of gold and iron resounding in the sky, Lu Bu and Xu Chu were crooked at the same time and almost fell off the horse's back, and the two hurriedly dragged their weapons backwards and staggered past, and the two of them were still evenly matched in the first round! But in fact, it was Lu Bu who had the upper hand, and if Xu Chu hadn't used the help of the stirrups, he was afraid that he would have been swept off the horse by Lu Bu.
Xu Chu hurriedly turned around, only to feel that his arms were sore, tired, and he couldn't lift the wolf's tooth hammer above his head in a short period of time, but he was shocked in his heart, but he refused to admit defeat and give in, and smiled at Lu Bu: "How? Grandpa's hammer doesn't taste good, right? Hey, hey, hey~~"
"I'm afraid it's even more unbearable than so-and-so, right? Hum! ”
Lu Bu also felt his arms tingling and his heart was shocked, but he could barely lift Fang Tian's halberd.
When the tiger prison was closed, Dong Zhuo was shocked, looked around and said: "This person is so good at martial arts, he is not under Feng Xian!" But I don't know who the subordinates are? ”
Zhang Liao, who had just been promoted to the rank of general of Huben Zhonglang, stepped forward and replied: "Lord, this person is Xu Chu, the general of the Ma Yue Division, who has fought with General Fengxian in Yeniudu, and there is no difference between victory and defeat within Shihe, which can be called a strong opponent of the general!" ”
"Horse butcher general Xu Chu?" Dong Zhuo's face changed, a trace of inexplicable worry suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he muttered, "The horse butcher is in Liangzhou today, and I don't know how the war is going in Liangzhou?" ”
……
Liangzhou, Lintao.
The Qiang soldiers are like a hard stone sculpture, standing firmly on the enemy tower, in the wilderness within the sight of Dian Ling, the black and oppressive enemy army is like dense ants, gathering into a vast ocean, towards Lintao City slowly, but without delay.
"Roar~"
"Roar~"
"Roar~"
Heaven and earth were filled with loud and uniform trumpet sounds, and the soldiers of the Ma Yuejun who were lined up in a phalanx raised their heads and let out a terrible howl every time they took a step forward.
Hey! What's that?
Dian Ling's eyes shrank suddenly, staring at the two moving "high platforms" in front of Ma Yue's military formation, although the distance was far apart, but with years of experience, Dian Ling could still roughly estimate that the two "high platforms" that were slowly squirming forward were about ten zhang wide and five zhang high, which was comparable to the height of the city wall of Lintao City!
The Qiang soldiers guarding the city wall had also discovered these two high platforms, and the Qiang soldiers who had never seen this ghost thing were shocked and had already screamed one after another.
"What the hell is that?"
"It's almost as tall as the city walls!"
"It's moving, oh my God! The is moving! ”
Dian Ling ignored the panicked exclamations of the Qiang soldiers, and hurriedly climbed the lookout tower in the corner of the enemy tower, standing on the lookout tower just to overlook the entire battlefield, and the whole picture of the two "high platforms" moving forward was also seen at a glance! But after seeing the whole picture of the two high platforms, Dian Ling's heart became more and more solemn.
"General~~" A colonel who followed Dian Ling to the lookout tower had already exclaimed, "Those are two siege ladders!" The enemy can rush up the tower directly along the gentle slope behind, oh my God, this thing is terrible! To move such a huge siege ladder, how many people do you have to pull together? ”
"Stupid!" Dian Ling scolded impatiently, "Do you see someone pulling? ”
"Uh~~"
The little school was speechless, and then suddenly realized that no one pulled the two siege ladders in front of them, and no one pushed them behind, as if they were moving, which looked particularly weird! Suddenly, an extremely frightened thought crossed the little school's mind, and he said in a voice: "Could it be~~ Could it be that the enemy can drive away ghosts and gods to help?" ”
"!" Dian Ling scolded, "How can the horse butcher be able to ask the ghosts and gods to help?" Go, and lead someone to carry the four big creatures left by the lord before he left. ”
The little colonel was puzzled: "Ah, what do you want those four big guys to do?" ”
Dian Ling roared angrily: "Don't go yet!" ”
The little school was startled and went downstairs in a hurry.
……
Before the Tiger Prison Pass.
Xu Chu was riding and galloping lifelessly, the iron armor on his body had been picked to pieces, the scarf on his head had fallen somewhere, and even the wolf's tooth hammer in his hand had disappeared, fortunately he was not injured, but Xu Chu was not happy, because Lu Bu was chasing after him like a maggot with bones.
Whether it is strength or martial arts, Xu Chu is slightly inferior to Lu Bu, although with the help of stirrups, but for masters of Xu Chu and Lu Bu, the impact of the existence of stirrups is extremely limited, and Xu Chu barely supported until fifty rounds before he was exhausted and gradually fell behind.
After persisting for more than ten rounds, Xu Chu was finally defeated and fled.
Xu Chu's Dawan Liangju is already one of the best BMWs in a million, but compared to Lu Bu's red rabbit horse, it is still slightly inferior, and as a result, Lu Bu caught up several times, fortunately, Xu Chu has the help of stirrups, and he finally avoided the disaster of killing by hiding in the stirrups a few times! But the price is that the armor, weapons, and scarves were all picked up by Lu Bu.
Now Xu Chu has no armor and is unarmed, if he is caught up by Lu Bu again, even if Xu Chu knows horses and rides superbly, he will not be able to escape the fate of being cut in two! But the only thing to be thankful for is that at this time, Xu Chu had fled to the camp of the Kwantung Coalition Army.
When Lu Bu was riding his horse to chase after him, he suddenly saw the gate of the coalition camp wide open, and three fast horses galloped out of the gate.
"Lu Bu Xiao'er, Guan Yu is here!"
"Three family slaves, Yanren Zhang Feilai!"
"Zhao Yun is here!"
Lu Bu's heart froze, just after a vicious fight with Xu Chu, the moves were all hard fighting, Xu Chu was exhausted, but Lu Bu was also physically exhausted, at this time, seeing the coalition army suddenly killed three generals in the gate, especially the white-robed young general on the left made Lu Bu even more frightened, just by the arrow yesterday, Lu Bu knew that this person's martial arts were not weak.
Lu Bu knew that he was invincible, so he hurriedly turned back and went to the Tiger Prison. Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei took advantage of the situation to wave their troops to cover up and kill, and Dong Zhuo was afraid that Lu Bu would lose, so he also urgently ordered Zhang Liao to lead 8,000 Liangzhou iron cavalry to fly out of the pass to respond.
It's night, Dong Zhuo's big tent.
Dong Zhuo said to Li Ru with a worried face: "Although Wu'er Fengxian is brave and unparalleled, it is difficult to defeat six hands with two fists, if the Kwantung coalition army rushes up, it will inevitably suffer, I don't know what good strategy Wen Xiu has to retreat from the enemy?" ”
Li Ru said: "The lord doesn't have to worry, Confucianism has a strategy to retreat from the enemy." ”
"Oh?" Dong Zhuo said happily, "I would like to hear it." ”
Li Ru said: "The lord can order the two generals Lu Bu and Zhang Liao to lead a military horse out of the customs overnight, set up camp on the left and right sides of the Kwantung Army camp, and then pile up the soil mountain in the camp, build a high oar on the soil mountain, and guard the high oar with a good shooter, and keep releasing arrows into the Kwantung coalition army camp all night and night. ”
Dong Zhuo pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but say: "Wonderful, this discussion is very wonderful, just follow what Wen Xiu said, and arrange it quickly." ”
Li Ru laughed twice, clenched his fists and said, "Confucianism takes orders." ”
……
Liangzhou, Lintao.
The heavy sword raised by Dian Ling slashed down fiercely, and at the same time shouted bitterly: "Pull! ”
"Roar~~"
More than 100 Qiang soldiers with naked upper bodies and muscular blocks roared at the same time, clutching the rope chain wrapped in their hands fiercely, and more than 100 people exerted force at the same time, gathering into a strong force in an instant, and pulled a crossbar with a foot of one person hugging thick and more than ten zhang long to the ground.
At the other end of the beam were two thick cables, and at the end of the ropes was a large basket woven of wattle wood, and a stone the size of a millstone was prominently contained in the blue! When more than 100 people pulled the proximal end of the beam at the same time and pulled the far end upright at a faster speed, they pulled the basket at the end of the cable and the stones in the basket to the sky.
Finally, the cable arced around the far end of the beam, and finally threw the stones in the basket to the ground, and the huge stones with a huge whistling sound tumbled forward from the air, and flew for dozens of feet before falling from the sky.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the stones falling from the sky had already smashed down in front of Ma Yuejun's formation, and they were only a stone's throw away from the "high platform" that was slowly moving forward.
"Whoa~~"
Seeing the power of the stone thrower, the Qiang soldiers on the upper floor of Lintao City howled one after another, and their morale was greatly boosted for a while! In the hoarse cheers of the Qiang soldiers, it was mixed with the angry scolding of Dian Lingji: "Stupid, throw it far enough, change the smaller stones, reload, hurry up~~"
In Ma Yuejun's formation, Ma Yue's brows tightened for a moment.
I was really afraid of anything, I really didn't expect Jia Wenhe to be a word, and the damn Dong Zhuo really placed a stone thrower in Lintao City! Looking back, Ma Yue found that a trace of despair had floated in Jia Xu's eyes, but Ma Yue was unwilling to give up, gritted his teeth, and shouted: "Order, the siege ladder speed up ~~ attack!" ”
"Woo woo~~"
Ma Yue gave an order, and the desolate and distant horn suddenly became agitated, and when he heard this agitated horn, the roar of the soldiers of the three armies suddenly became urgent, and the phalanx that was moving forward unhurriedly immediately increased its speed, and the two siege ladders that were slowly squirming forward at the forefront also suddenly increased their speed!
At the head of Lintao City, Dian Ling was taken aback by Ma Yuejun's sudden acceleration, and hurriedly changed the military order: "Immediately change to a bigger stone, four stone throwers throw at the same time, hurry up~~"
The shirtless Qiang soldiers quickly replaced the larger stones, and nearly six hundred strong and sturdy Qiang soldiers were divided into four teams to wait for the battle, and when the heavy sword held high by Dian Ling slashed down, he roared at the same time, and pulled the rope in his hand with his own weight, and pulled down the proximal end of the trebuching crossbar.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
Four loud noises followed, followed by a screech of boulders piercing the sky, and four larger boulders had been thrown into the air and smashed viciously down towards the high platform approaching outside the city.
"Boom!"
With two loud bangs, the first two boulders to fall fell into the air and failed to hit the target.
"Stupid, throw it off, immediately adjust the direction and reload the stones!"
"Kara!"
"Kara!"
Immediately followed by two piercing cracks, and then the two boulders that fell down accurately hit the target, and the ladder that was smashed was smashed into "skin and flesh" in an instant, and the ladder that was tightly wrapped by the bamboo fence sounded the endless wails of the soldiers, as long as the boulder hit the target, it was difficult for the soldiers crowded at the bottom of the ladder to avoid the doom.
Because the target of the siege ladder is so big, if it weren't for the lack of experience of the Qiang soldiers, all four boulders would have easily hit the target.
"Good! Well done! Dian Ling couldn't help but yelled excitedly, "Continue to fill the stones, smash Ben Shuai, smash hard!" ”
Outside Lintao City, the corners of Ma Yue's mouth suddenly swept a twitch.
"Huhu~~"
The endless scream once again streaked through the sky, and four larger boulders fell from the sky, this time, three boulders hit the same siege ladder that had just been "bulleted", and when the last boulder fell, the towering ladder finally burst from the middle, and finally turned into a pile of broken bamboo and rotten fences.
Hundreds of elite soldiers of Bingzhou struggled out of the broken bamboo fence, but at this time, a dense rain of arrows poured down from the city tower, lacking armor to protect themselves, and without the protection of the hoplite giant shield, these elite soldiers of Bingzhou fell down with screams, and finally only dozens of people escaped to their own formation.
The other ladder didn't last long, and collapsed after being hit by five boulders.
"Whew~~"
Ma Yue looked up to the sky and breathed a long sigh of relief, Ma Yue, who had never tasted such a tragic failure, suddenly felt a trace of unspeakable bitterness.
"Newspaper~~"
At this moment, a long and terrible howl suddenly sounded in the back, and Ma Yue's heart sank, and he looked back in surprise to see a fast horse galloping from a distance.
"Hetao Emergency!"
"Hetao?"
"Hetao!"
Ma Yue and Jia Xu looked back, and the two exchanged glances, and they both saw a trace of shock in each other's eyes. At present, Xianbei in the central part has been completely disabled, and Dong Zhuo's army has been pinned down in Luoyang by the Eighteenth Route Kwantung Coalition Army, what other forces are worth mentioning around the Hetao?
Moreover, Gao Shun, who stayed in Hetao, commanded the troops in a good way and experienced a hundred battles, and there were 20,000 troops under his command for his rebuttal, so could he still be in danger?
In less than a moment, the fast horse had already rushed to Ma Yue, and said quickly: "Lord, Hetao is urgent!" ”
Ma Yue's face was as gloomy as dark night, and a cold sentence burst out of his throat: "Where is the paperwork?" ”
Quickly Ma hurriedly took out a book from his arms, solemnly handed it to Ma Yue, Ma Yue snatched the red silk that was hurriedly unwrapped, and then unfolded the book in a hurry, and hurriedly read it at a glance and ten lines, and his already extremely gloomy face suddenly became more gloomy, and on this hot June day, the soldiers around him felt the slightest coldness.
"My lord~~" Jia Xu took a breath and asked in a condensed voice, "What did General Gao Shun say?" ”
Ma Yuehuo put away the book and said quickly: "Order, collect the troops and return to the camp!" ”
