Chapter Seventy-Five: Conquering Xianbei Again
The territory of Xianbei Wuyecheng in the east is not small, from the east and north of Xuansu County, all of which are his territory, connecting Goguryeo in the south, Haoqian in the east, and Fuyu in the north.
In the northeast of Xuanfu County, about 300 miles, there is a mountain, which is called Whip Mountain. I want to say that this mountain was used by Erlang God with a whip, and it was split into two from the middle, forming a canyon in the middle, and the mountains on both sides were high and steep, straight up and down, and it was impossible to climb at all.
There is a city in the west of the whip mountain, the name is the whip mountain city, this city is built against the whip mountain, the eastern leader of Xianbei lives here, there are more than 20,000 young and strong Xianbei in the city, and the arch guards this city.
At the beginning of March, when it was time, the south of the whip mountain city! A force of about 10,000 people quietly arrived.
The leaders who led this team were none other than the two Karasuma chiefs under Guan Yu; Liu Dachang, Wu Ji.
Due to the downsizing of the troops, Guan Yu's Karasuma soldiers were reduced to 50,000, and each commander had only 5,000 men and horses.
Even so, no one wants to be the commander of the Tuntian army, because once he becomes the commander of the Tuntian army, if he wants to fight in the future, the hope is really slim.
Luo Fei and Lu Wei were unlucky, and when they drew lots, they drew the 'go' sign and became the commanders of the Tuntian Karasuma Army, staying in R&F City and not participating in this operation.
At night in early March, when it was still very cold in the north, Liu Dachang tightened the cotton coat on his body and said to Wu Ji:
"We don't need to attack tonight, we just need to block the fleeing Xianbei army, everyone rest in place and wait for General Guan to break the city!"
Wu Ji stood on the ground with the spear in his hand, took a few hot breaths at his cold hands, and said, "Brother Liu, you lead people to ambush, and I will lead the scouts to take a look at the surrounding environment!" ”
The two acted separately and blocked the water around the south gate of Whip Mountain City.
The same is true of the West Gate, Cai Jun and Luo Lu led about 10,000 soldiers and horses to ambush the west of Whip Mountain City and besiege Xianbei who escaped from the West Gate.
According to the battle plan formulated by Liu Kun last year, if you can kill Wu Yecheng, it is better to kill it directly. If the sneak attack on Wu Yecheng fails, you will have to eat slowly and eat the humble territory, which is time-consuming and laborious.
Guan Yu returned from the Eastern Xianbei expedition last year in vain, and he really had a fire in his heart, and this year, in order to avenge this, he specially asked the eldest brother for something to blow up the door!
And set off a few days in advance, all the way day and night, far away from the Xianbei tribe in the east, and quietly came to the city of Whip Mountain.
The emperor lived up to his wishes, and the march was smooth all the way, until the soldiers approached the city of Whip Mountain, and Wu Yecheng did not know that the catastrophe was coming.
Qiu Liju originally canonized four chieftains for the Eastern Xianbei, namely; Miga, Queji, Suli, Huaitou.
Que Ji, Su Li, and Huaitou are relatively old, and they died one after another a few years ago, and the forces of Eastern Xianbei slowly fell into the hands of Miga, who became the de facto leader of Eastern Xianbei.
Wu Yecheng is Mika's brother, about 40 years old this year, although Mika lived longer than the other chiefs for a while, after all, he was dying, and his manpower was not enough to meet the mandate of heaven, and he died the year before last.
Xianbei inherited the customs of the Donghu period, and the elder brother died with the younger brother, and Wu Yecheng became the lord of Xianbei in the east.
Outside the city of Whip Mountain, Guan Yu led 5,000 elites, Wen Chou led 10,000 new troops, and six 10,000 commanders led 30,000 Xianbei troops, which were listed at the north gate!
Guan Yu ordered: "Wang Hui! ”
Wang Hui is taciturn, but quite strategic, and was promoted by Guan Yu to the captain of the pro-soldiers, and has always been Guan Yu's right-hand man.
"The subordinates are here!"
Guan Yu waved the tungsten alloy broadsword glowing red, pointed to the city gate and said, "Lead ten personal soldiers and quietly go to the city gate to plant explosives!" ”
Wang Hui went as promised, and Guan Yu ordered the other 10,000 captains: "Luo Jia! Liu Bao! ”
Luo Jia and Liu Bao took a step forward and said, "The end will be!" ”
"Order the two of you to enter the city at the latest, and be responsible for occupying the city gate and the city wall!"
Luo Jiayingnuo returned to the headquarters.
"Wu Lu, Zhang Zhi, Lu Wei, "
The three of them took a step forward and said, "The end will be!" ”
"After ordering the three of you to enter the city, follow General Wen Chou, go straight to the Xianbei military camp, and exterminate or surrender the Xianbei soldiers in the military camp!"
The three of them returned to the team after making a promise!
"Sun Sanhu!"
The last captain urged him to take a step forward and replied, "The end will be there!" ”
"Lead your troops to kill Ben Dongwangfu with me and capture Wu Yecheng alive!"
Sun Sanhu retreated as promised!
After a while, a loud 'boom' sound came from the city gate, and through the instantaneous light generated by the explosion, it could be seen that the north of the city was gone.
Guan Yu stroked his long beard in his hand, waved his knife at the city gate, and yelled: "Kill!" ”
More than 40,000 people and horses are like the galloping Yellow River, unstoppable, heading straight for Whip Mountain City!
Wu Yecheng's recent life has been very comfortable, he was afraid of the fierce Youzhou army last year, so as soon as Guan Yu's army came, he immediately led his troops to escape.
accidentally attacked a small force sent by Guan Yu, and he discovered the weakness of Guan Yu's army, that is, he was unfamiliar with the terrain and the troops were too scattered.
Wu Yeping gradually grew bolder, and after fighting with Guan Yujun a few times, he realized the essence of guerrilla warfare.
Xianbei athletes come and go like the wind on the grassland, fight if they fight, run if they can't fight, only Qiu Liju, a fool, will fight hard with the Youzhou army.
With such an advantage, what can Liu Kun do to me? The Youzhou Army is nothing more than that!
Wu Yecheng's literary level is limited, and he can't summarize the eight-character mantra of 'the enemy advances, I retreat, and the enemy retreats, I advance', if it weren't for this, he would be the grandmaster of guerrilla warfare.
The Han girl who paid tribute to her subordinates yesterday was really delicious, and Wu Yecheng, who was in her forties, turned out to be a 'wolf seven times a night', and she didn't fall asleep until she was ugly.
Wu Yecheng in his sleep was in Xianbei Mountain, wearing the robe of the Xianbei king, and was being elected as the king by all the Xianbei people, when suddenly there was a thunder in the sky, which scared Wu Yecheng awake.
Wu Yeping, who was palpitating, sat up, smiled bitterly, and muttered, "It's just a dream!" ”
Just as he was about to fall asleep again, his soldiers shouted outside the door: "Report to the king of the east, there is a loud noise at the north gate, very suspicious!" Subordinates have sent people to investigate! ”
Loud noise! Wu Yeping's mind seemed to flash something, and it seemed that there was nothing, and there was a deep uneasiness in his heart!
Something is definitely happening! Wu Yecheng said to the chief of the guard: "Prepare the horse, let's go and have a look!" ”
Then Wu Yecheng got dressed and got up, and just came to the door of the East Palace, the ground under his feet began to shake, and a bright light in the north went straight to the East Palace!
When fighting with Guan Yu's army last year, Wu Yecheng saw such a light and hurriedly shouted: "Withdraw!" It's the Youzhou Army! Remove! ”
After speaking, he turned on his horse and fled south!
As he approached the South City Gate, the uneasiness in Wu Yecheng's heart not only did not subside, but became more intense.
Speculation in my heart; Could it be that there is an ambush outside the city gates?
Immediately said to the pro-soldiers: "Gather the defenders of the south city gate and stop the pursuing troops behind!" ”
Then, he led more than a dozen cronies to escort him and went east!
The defenders of the south gate of Whip Mountain City, but more than 1,000 people, although they were not the opponents of Guan Yu and others, they also played a role in blocking for a while, allowing Wu Yecheng to get out smoothly.
More than an hour later, the battle in the city ended, and 20,000 Xianbei troops were killed, 3,000 were killed, and 17,000 were captured!
The next day, the Xianbei Mansion of Whip Mountain City!
Guan Yu and Wen Chou sat on the main seat, and the ten captains were lined up on both sides, the atmosphere in the hall was very depressing, and Guan Yu said coldly: "Is Wu Yecheng's whereabouts clear?" ”
Liu Dachang and Wu Ji stepped forward and replied: "General Bing, none of the Xianbei troops who escaped from the south gate have missed the net, according to Wu Yecheng's guards, they are in the city to facilitate their separation, and Wu Yecheng led more than ten personal soldiers to the east!" ”
"Have you ever sent someone to look for it on the mountain to the east?"
Sun Sanhu took a step forward and said: "General Bing, I sent people to look for it on the Whip Mountain in the early morning, and found more than ten war horses at the top of the Whip Mountain, one of which is Wu Yecheng's BMW Lion Skull!"
Then I searched carefully in the vicinity and found a hole that bent downward, and only one person could bend down to enter, and there was no bottom! The subordinates suspect that Wu Yecheng has escaped from here, and has sent people to search for him, but he has not yet reported back! ”
Guan Yu got up and said: "In this case, the three tigers will go with me to have a look, and the rest of the people will perform their duties, collect the Xianbei people in the city as soon as possible, and hand them over to them after General Dian Wei's command arrives!" ”
Everyone responded in unison: "Wow! ”
Guan Yu and the others, along the entrance of the cave above the whip mountain, descended tactfully, and when they came out, it was already noon.
The exit is at the foot of Whip Mountain, because Whip Mountain is steep and cannot go up and down, Guan Yu did not arrange for soldiers to surround it, but he didn't expect that there was a secret passage.
A hundred secrets are negligent, resulting in a failure.
