Chapter 52: Fucheng
No one knows what method Jia Xu used to make Ma Xiang spend so much effort just to come to Zitong, now the situation in Shuzhong is chaotic, Ma Xiang led more than 10,000 people to storm Fucheng, and Zhao Yi went south, as far as Guanghan County, and went all the way to Shu County and Qianwei County. There are now less than 600 defenders left in Fucheng, since the head of Xuan Jian was hung up by Ma Xiang, there is no fighting spirit in Fucheng, just waiting for Ma Xiang's next round of attack, Fucheng will change hands.
Gao Shun led the three thousand camps to Fucheng in a hurry, and saw people running to Zitong from a distance, Gao Shun asked, knowing that Fucheng was in danger, and he counted Chen Guo in his heart, and said to Chen Guo: "Chen Guo, a certain first led a thousand people to Fucheng, and you escorted the baggage and replied to the lord, and told the lord of the situation in Fucheng." After Gao Shun finished speaking, he immediately took a thousand fronts, leaving the baggage and light body to move forward quickly, and Chen Guo led the rear army to follow closely. Gao Shun marched rapidly, and saw Fucheng from a distance, a dangerous place in Shuzhong where the pass and the city were integrated. I saw thick smoke billowing in Fucheng, and the north gate facing Gao Shun Road was wide open, and many people rushed to flee out. Gao Shun looked at it, suffered, it must be that Fucheng was breached, Fucheng is dangerous, the city wall is towering into the clouds, a mountain and a cliff, when he came, Jia Xu secretly said to Gao Shun, hoping that Gao Shun can occupy Fucheng. Gao Shun is a man, but he has a certain understanding of things and knows Jia Xu's intentions, which is to occupy more land for Chen Lin, at least in exchange for a lot of benefits for Hanzhong. At the same time, Gao Shun is a martial artist, and war and military exploits are things that Gao Shun infinitely desires. At this time, seeing that Fucheng was about to be lost, he was extremely unwilling, Gao Shun speared, and shouted: "Trapped in the camp, there is no retreat, rush into the north gate, guard according to the gate, the rear army is coming from time to time, dare to retreat, kill, one person retreats and one is punished." "Gao Shun is extremely strict with the military discipline of the trapped camp, which is also one of the reasons why the trapped camp is invincible, Gao Shun ordered, a thousand trapped camps without hesitation to rush into Fucheng, all the fleeing people must not be stopped, otherwise they will be crushed to death and trampled to death, without the slightest hesitation.
1,000 people just entered the inner side of the city gate, then divided 200 people to run up the city wall, draw the bow and stand by, the remaining 800 people quickly moved everything in the field of vision, simply forming an obstacle, 800 people will be strictly guarded by this, to protect the city gate is not lost, as long as Chen Houjun catches up, Gao Shun is confident that he will deal with the horse in the city, and he will not easily let go of Fucheng. Because Gao Shun blocked the north gate, many people who wanted to get out of the city couldn't get out of the city, and they gathered together a few feet away from Gao Shun's army array. The last fat man who seemed to have some status stood up and said to Gao Shun: "This general, I want to go out of the city, I don't know ......" Before the words were finished, Gao Shun held a spear in his hand, and the camp roared angrily: "Kill." The loud and cold sound of iron weapons colliding frightened the gathered Baixin into confusion and ran, and in the blink of an eye, there was not a single one left, and they all ran back to the city. Gao Shun's eyes seemed to be blank, but they were so cold, and suddenly dozens of people rushed and fled on the streets of the city, looking like they were dressed as sergeants. Seeing nearly a thousand people waiting in the city gate, silent but murderous, I couldn't help but be startled, thinking that it was a thief who ran in front of him. When I looked at it again, I saw that it was the appearance of the Han army, and I couldn't help but feel excited, and I was about to swagger forward, but I was really chased enough.
Dozens of people led by one person were about to come over, and the colonel in the camp shouted: "Stop, those who enter again will be killed." There was only the sound of the small colonel in the empty city gate, but there was a sound of killing in the distance, and the dozens of people were stunned for a moment, and the leader was furious: "A certain is the guard of Fucheng, the county order is dead, the thief army enters the city, quickly give way." Gao Shun looked at it coldly, only to see that the man's fat head and brain, Gao Shun was disdainful in his heart, this is a military general? Without saying a word, just pointing the gun, the little colonel saw Gao Shun's order, turned around and shouted: "Those who escape from the battle should be killed according to the law, and those who come will take a step back, and the bow and arrow will wait." With that, the small flag in his hand was together, and the archers on the city wall immediately drew their bows and arrows.
The man on the other side was angry and shocked, only to realize that he didn't even know this group, so he asked, "Where are the people on the other side?" "Hanzhong Lieutenant Gao Shun has fallen into the camp, and you will stay with us to resist the thieves, and then retreat, and there will be no mercy." Gao Shun is not in the oil and salt in short, whatever you say, just don't let these routs out of the city, Gao Shun can't look down on deserters the most, let alone deserters in the camp, even if you hesitate, you will be severely punished. After talking nonsense with the retreating Fucheng guards for a while, the city roared out an army of about 1,000 or so, and the guards were not allowed to leave the city. ”
Gao Shun hurriedly looked at it, and sure enough, there were about 1,000 people who came, the armor was not complete, and the advance was also chaotic, but Gao Shun never despised any enemy, and hurriedly shouted: "Steady, guard." The front row of the 800-trap camp sank, and the spear was pressed, but the back rows took bows and arrows. At this time, the guard couldn't stand it, shouted loudly, and rushed to the trapped camp, and dared to kill the court officials in his heart. But he was wrong, he encountered Gao Shun's trapped camp, and he didn't need Gao Shun's order at all, he entered the range of bows and arrows, and immediately shot them, dozens of people instantly shot into arrows, and he didn't believe that he would die in the hands of the Han army.
The anti-thief team of 1,000 people obviously didn't expect to break through the city gate, and there were nearly 1,000 people waiting here, and the general thought that this Gao Shun was also the defeated defender of Fucheng, and hurriedly ordered an attack, which is a great merit, a thousand heads. Looking at the anti-thieves who dared to rush up in chaos, the camp still didn't make a sound, and was so calm that it was weird, and the anti-thieves who originally rushed up with loud coaxing became more and more panicked the closer they ran, and they were inexplicably panicked. By the time they found out why it was too late, hundreds of arrows fell from the sky, and many people only saw a flash of light, and then a heavy object smashed on their faces, and they fell backwards in pain, and there was no other feeling.
The anti-thief general was behind the formation, and when he saw this posture, he was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, and as soon as the general retreated, the remaining 700 or so people were also flustered, and once again ran back in a chaotic manner, and disappeared in an instant. There was no joy that should be felt in victory, watching the anti-thief run away, no one in the camp said a word, and he didn't move, only the voice of the colonel's order sounded.
After the daredevil's anti-thief general ran to the corner, he was relieved to see that Gao Shun did not catch up, and hurriedly asked people to gather the people, only less than six hundred remained, obviously there were a lot of escapes in the middle, the general pondered with a dark face, and said to the people around him: "Go back and report it, just say that you have encountered an ambush by the Han army, and the entire north gate is over, and ask for quick reinforcements." After speaking, he muttered: "Damn, I thought it was a credit to take a city gate, and I knew to follow them to rob the girls." At this time, the place where the street away from this general is already hell on earth, this street where the scholars are concentrated, at this time, countless anti-thieves are laughing and smashing the door, and the slightest resistance is to chop into pulp, and countless women are carried away, in exchange for the anti-thieves haha* laugh. Suddenly, a scream was particularly conspicuous: "There is still a Han army at the north gate, densely packed." ”
Many of the robbing thieves were stunned, and then one of them shouted: "Liu Xiaozi is scared stupid, a thousand people can't take a broken city gate, and less than a hundred people who escaped from the defenders of Fucheng were surrounded and killed by His Majesty's design at the south gate, who is bluffing." "It seems that the general who attacked the north gate is surnamed Liu, and the messenger saw that everyone didn't believe it, so he was in a hurry, and suddenly turned around and ran to the county government, and went directly to His Majesty, that is, Ma Xiang, the person called the Son of Heaven.
Ma Xiang was not as brainless as those generals, and after hearing the letter, he hurriedly ordered the whole city to stop looting, and immediately rushed to the north gate. Ma Xiang didn't plan to settle down in Fucheng, so he ordered the plunder, and Ma Xiang's purpose was Zitong. A thin figure behind Ma Xiang hurriedly followed Ma Xiang, but he didn't notice a yin evil emanating from his little eyes. Ma Xiang gave an order, and in an instant, there were 8,000 people gathered in the place where General Liu was defeated and retreated, and many generals were laughing at General Liu's failure, so angry that General Liu's face was flushed, and he was about to fight. Ma Xiang appeared, and everyone obediently gave way and asked General Liu: "What's the matter?" General Liu: "There is a Han army at the north gate, the number is not clear, and 400 people were injured in an ambush." ”
The little eyes behind Ma Xiang flashed, and he muttered something to Ma Xiang's ear, and Ma Xiang scolded General Liu: "The defenders of Fucheng are all dead, and the north gate is at most some family members of the scholar clan, look at you like that." General Liu looked at the little eyes behind Ma Xiang resentfully, but the little eyes didn't see it. So a scumbag-faced general led 1,500 men and horses to rush to the north gate, and the horses walked back without looking at each other, and the other generals also dispersed and continued to rob. The general of Hu Slag took this errand, full of dissatisfaction, he was originally smashing the door of the Shi clan, how good, now he is going to attack the north gate, Liu Xiaozi deliberately, Hu Slag thought.
Now Fucheng County has become Ma Xiang's temporary palace, Ma Xiang designed to besiege and kill most of the defenders of Fucheng, and after entering Fucheng, he trusted the little eyes, and took them with him wherever he went. At this time, the little eyes smiled and said to Ma Xiang: "Your Majesty, when you get to Zitong and invite our prime minister, Your Majesty can become the real Majesty." Ma Xiang was also overjoyed when he heard it. Suddenly, there was another urgent report, the slag general was defeated, and there were less than 1,000 of the 1,500 people left, and Ma Xiang stood up in shock.
It turned out that at this time, Gao Shun once again repelled the Hu Slag generals, and the Hu Slag generals and Liu generals both underestimated Gao Shun, and these halfway generals didn't understand why there was such a powerful Han army in Fucheng at this time. Looking at the slag generals who slowly disappeared from view, Gao Shun hurriedly called Chen Guo and ordered: "Chen Guo, leave five hundred people to guard the city gate, and the rest of the horses enter the city, a group of five hundred people, but when they see the thief army, they will be killed, and they are not allowed to attack the south gate, only kill the enemy in the city." Without waiting for Chen Guo to take a breath, he hurriedly led hundreds of people into the city to chase the slag general. The big scumbag looked back, saw Gao Shun chasing after him, ran more happily, and led Gao Shun to the street, wanting to meet where the thieves blocked Gao Shun.
By the time Ma Xiang walked out of the county government again, there was already chaos in Fucheng.
