Chapter 180: Capture of Jinyang
Hedong County.
Seeing that Gao Shun's trapping camp has stabilized its position on the city wall, as long as the trapping camp can withstand the counterattack of the defenders, and then Zhang He's Hebei cavalry can block the counterattack of the Liangzhou iron cavalry in the city, the fall of Anyi City will be like a certainty, and it will no longer be avoidable.
When Lu Buzheng was excited, the general Cheng Lian leaned over and whispered, "General, it's better for Mingjin to withdraw the troops." ”
"What did you say?" Lu Bu turned his head and stared at Cheng Lian like a wolf, and said in a deep voice, "At this time, Mingjin withdrew his troops? ”
"That's right, Mingjin is reluctant." Cheng Lian met Lu Bu's fierce eyes, and said fearlessly, "If Anyi City is captured like this, the great credit will fall on Gao Shun's trapped camp, and the court and the heroes of the world only know that it is Gao Shun who broke the city, and they will not know that the general is the commander of the coalition army." ”
"Oh?"
Lu Bu frowned and fell into deep thought.
Seeing that Lu Bu seemed to be intent on moving, Cheng Lian persuaded again: "From the point of view of the last general, the defenders of Anyi have become the end of a strong crossbow, and if the Gao Shunzhi camp is withdrawn today, when General Ming personally leads the elite troops of his headquarters to attack the city, he will definitely be able to achieve great success in one fell swoop!" In this way, the court and the heroes of the world will remember the prestige of the general. ”
"What General Cheng Lian said is extremely true." The general Song Xian also echoed, "This time, the Sixth Route Coalition Army attacked Dong Zhuo together, and the generals under the command of the general were the widest, and the casualties were the most heavy in the three days since the attack on Anyi, but in the end, Gao Shun let this kid pick up ready-made, isn't it too cheap for him?" ”
General Zhang Liao frowned lightly, he wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
"Hmm~~" Lu Bu nodded again and again, "If it weren't for Cheng Lian's reminder, General Ben almost missed a big event, come and give an order~~ Today, it is too late to fight again, Mingjin withdraws his troops!" ”
"Dangdang~~"
In less than a moment, the rear of the coalition army sounded the sound of Qingyue's Mingjin, Gao Shun who was fighting to the death on the head of the city, and Zhang Hehuoran, who was eager to try, turned around, his eyes showed disbelief, at this time Mingjin withdrew his troops~~ It's really puzzling, could it be that there are enemy reinforcements outside the city?
"All the soldiers obey the order, the rear team changes to the front team, and withdraws!"
At the head of Anyi City, Gao Shun immediately ordered a retreat, and it is an iron law in the army to advance when he hears the drum and retreat when he hears the gold, how can the veterans who are trapped in the camp not know? Gao Shun gave an order, and the veterans who were fighting to the death on the city tower quickly changed into a retreat formation, and more than a dozen hoplites who had just climbed the city wall rushed forward and quickly connected more than a dozen large shields into a shield wall to cover the retreat of the light infantry.
In less than a moment, the agile light infantry had already slid down the ladder to the bottom of the city, and more than a dozen hoplites once again formed a shield wall and pushed forward, which could block the stingers of dozens of enemy spears, and finally approached Gao Shun, who was fighting to the death, and shouted in unison: "General, the brothers have all withdrawn, you can also go down, and this place will be handed over to us!" ”
"For the sake of the general, there is no reason to withdraw first!" Gao Shun struggled to force back the two enemy colonels, turned around and shouted, "You go first, this general will break back!" ”
More than a dozen hoplites hurriedly said: "General~~"
Gao Shun shouted: "The military order is like a mountain! ”
"Don't let Gao Shun go!"
"Kill them~~"
"Kill!"
At this time, Yang Fengjun was able to kill, and Xiao General Xu Huang hurriedly climbed the city tower with a sharp axe in his hand, and shouted to the sky: "Gao Shun Pifu, leave ~~"
"Hugh is leaving, Gao Shun."
The defenders responded violently, and the momentum shook the sky.
The dozen or so hoplites standing at the head of the city exchanged glances, and suddenly rushed forward silently, rushing past Gao Shun with a roar, facing the surging enemy troops on the city tower, and a hoplite turned around and howled bitterly: "General~~ The camp can be without us, but it can't be without you, general!" ”
"Hu San, Hu Si!" Gao Shun shouted loudly, "Come back, you dare to disobey the military order~~"
Hu San and Hu Si turned around and smiled at Gao Shun, and said with a long roar: "General, every year during the Qingming Festival, don't forget to pour a few leftover glasses of water and wine in front of the brothers' spirits, we went, hahaha~~"
"Back~~"
"Bulge~~"
Gao Shun's return only shouted half a sentence, the sharp axe in Xu Huang's hand had already split the giant shield in Hu San's hand in half, and after the sharp axe split the giant shield, he was still in a state of castration and actually cut Hu San hiding behind the shield into two pieces, almost at the same time, the shield wall of Hu Si and more than a dozen hoplites was also broken by the enemy, and countless sharp spears stabbed at them in an instant.
But Hu San and Hu Si did not die in vain after all, they exchanged their lives for Gao Shun's chance to escape! If there were no Hu San and them sacrificing their lives, Gao Shun would definitely not be spared.
"General~Army~~"
Hu Si, who finally fell to the ground, gave Gao Shun a desolate smile, and died immediately.
"Hu Si~~"
Gao Shun's always calm face suddenly floated a trace of gloom, and his sturdy and slender body flipped back in the air and slid down the ladder to the city wall, and the hoplites who had been waiting under the city wall immediately cracked a crack in the tight shield wall and protected Gao Shun into it.
"Let's go, go back!"
Gao Shun roared, and a trace of crystal wetness suddenly appeared in the corner of his eyes, there is a way that men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place.
"Boom~~"
The closed gate of Anyi City suddenly opened, the horses were neighing, and the black-pressed Liangzhou Iron Cavalry surged out through the hole in the open city gate, sweeping towards the trapped camp like a tide, and almost at the same time, rows of archers stood on the city wall again, and poured a dense rain of arrows mercilessly into the sky above the trapped camp.
But even in such a passive situation, the trapped camp still maintained enough composure and calmness, the rigorous formation did not have the slightest confusion, and the dense rain of arrows like locusts was once again blocked by the thick shield wall, and it still could not cause much damage to the soldiers trapped in the camp.
"Brothers who are trapped in the camp, please rest assured to retreat, and these Liangzhou native dogs will be handed over to us to deal with."
When the surging Liangzhou cavalry was about to rush behind the camp, a thunderous shout suddenly sounded, Gao Shun turned around when he heard the sound, only to see another black cavalry fighting out of the air, and the first member of the general was majestic and majestic, with an iron helmet on his head, wearing iron armor, and holding an eight-point steel gun.
……
Jinyang, Thorn Mansion.
Ding Yuan is pretending to sleep in the bedroom, as Ding Yuan grows older, he has become more and more unable to cope with one wife and six concubines, last night and Gangna's sixth concubine was greedy for a night, and the next day he felt back pain, heavy head, and poor spirits, alas, it seems that he will have to abstain from sex in the future.
"My lord, it's not good, it's terrible~~"
When Ding Yuan was upset, he suddenly saw the little man under the door hurriedly break in.
"Huh?" Ding Yuan was furious and said, "Who let you in?" ”
The little servant knelt on the ground and shouted with a crying voice: "My lord, it's terrible, Dong Zhuo's thieves have entered the city." ”
"What!?" Ding Yuan was startled, and sat up with a bow, but then sat back on the table in a dejected manner, and scolded, "Nonsense, it's just nonsense, right now, Hetao, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, Hanoi and Sili and other six-way coalition forces are crusading against the traitor Dong Zhuo in Hedong, Dong Zhuo's old thief has no time to take care of himself, how can he dare to divide his troops to attack Jinyang?" ”
The little official said in a delicious voice: "Cocoa, but this is true." ”
"Still talking nonsense!" Ding Yuan became more and more angry and said, "Do you really think that this official will not dare to kill you?" ”
The little official was silent, looking at Ding Yuan for a while, he suddenly got up and ran away, the little official just fled, Ding Yuan's personal captain hurriedly broke in again, and said in a loud voice: "My lord, Dong Zhuo's thieves have entered Jinyang City, most of the defenders in the city have surrendered, and the rest have dispersed in a hurry." ”
"Huh?" Ding Yuan gasped, and then he believed it, "Really~~ This is true?" ”
"My lord, run for your life." The captain of the pro-soldier said hurriedly, "It's too late." ”
"This, this~~ How is this possible?" Ding Yuan was dying, and he still couldn't believe it, "How did Dong Zhuo's thieves kill Jinyang?" Why didn't our army's scouting horses and fine work detect any movement, and how did that idiot Lu Bu do it, and let the thieves enter the state without trying to stop it? ”
The captain of the pro-soldier hurriedly said: "I don't know exactly what is going on, but I heard that Dong Zhuo's old thief came from Wangwushan, so General Lu Bu doesn't know at all, our army's exploration horses and fine work are also mostly distributed on the east side of the river, and there is no defense on Wangwushan's side." ”
"What? It turned over from Wangwu Mountain! Ding Yuan said in a speech, "But Jinyang City is strong, how can it be easily captured?" ”
"Annihilation! Some thieves and soldiers entered the city and stole the gates. The captain of the pro-soldier said hurriedly, "Oh, my lord, don't ask, it's too late, hurry up and run for your life." ”
"Let's wait for a while, wait for the official to clean up the softness, and then flee with his family."
"My lord, when is this going to be cleaned up?"
"That being the case, Rong Benguan will bring Xinna's beloved concubine~~"
"Kill, kill, kill~~"
Ding Yuan's voice fell, and an earth-shattering shouting and killing sound suddenly sounded outside the mansion, and then there were rapid horse hooves and chaotic footsteps to break into the assassin's mansion, and rushed straight into the backyard, Ding Yuan and the captain of the personal soldiers only heard a few weapon collisions and several screams outside, and then the bedroom door was kicked open with a heavy kick, and a group of wolf-like Liangzhou soldiers had already broken in with steel knives in their hands and murderously.
The captain of the pro-soldier sighed and said quickly: "The adults quickly escape through the back door, and the villains will come to block them." ”
"Want to go? There are no doors. One of the generals in the Liangzhou soldiers snorted, waved his hand, and said sharply, "Slaughter these two guys, arrest all the women in the mansion, and then give the money and property to Lao Tzu to be optimistic, the lord has already said, whoever grabs it first will belong to him, and this mansion is now Lao Tzu Huaxiong's." ”
"Yes."
The Liangzhou soldiers behind Hua Xiong had already pounced like a tiger wolf, and the captain of the pro-soldier Kankan had been divided into pieces with a knife, Ding Yuan's front foot had just escaped from the back door, and a sharp knife tip had suddenly emerged from his chest, Ding Yuan's eyes suddenly became sluggish, and he turned around, only to see a Liangzhou soldier smiling and slashing down at his neck~~
The next moment, Ding Yuan felt himself flying, and the whole world began to flip upside down, and then soon, the boundless darkness completely swallowed him.
At the beginning of April in the third year of Zhongping (187), Dong Zhuo adopted the strategy of the military advisor Li Ru, and used the main army to stick to Anyi to confuse the attention of the coalition army, and then personally led 20,000 elite soldiers to cross Wangwu Mountain and attack Jinyang successfully.
……
The day Dong Zhuo captured Jinyang and Ding Yuan died in the chaos was also the day when Gao Shun almost captured Anyi!
……
Outside the city of Anyi, the camp of the coalition army.
Gao Shun entered the big tent of Lu Bu's Chinese army, and saw that Zhang He was also in the tent, Gao Shun bowed without saying a word, and said solemnly: "Gao Shun~~ Thank you for the general's help." ”
Zhang He hurriedly stepped forward to support Gao Shun, and said sincerely: "You and I are fighting for the coalition and the same goal, so it is natural to reach out to help, why do you need to do this?" ”
"This worship is for all the surviving soldiers of the trapped camp, if it weren't for the general's help, our army would be in danger~~" Gao Shun insisted on bowing, then got up, turned to Lu Bu and asked solemnly, "There is something unknown in the last general, please ask the general not to hesitate." ”
Lu Bu was worried, he didn't dare to face Gao Shun's scorching eyes, and said to him: "It's getting late today, and the general must be tired and tired. ”
"No, the last general must ask about the innocence, otherwise I won't know the taste of food and I won't be able to sleep well! The souls of the dead in the city of Anyi are even more difficult to see! Gao Shun's tone was like iron, and he asked in a condensed voice, "Dare to ask the general, today's battle is obviously about to break the city, but I don't know why Mingjin withdrew his troops?" ”
"This~~"
Lu Bu glanced at Cheng Lian, who also looked worried, and was speechless for a while.
Gao Shun's expression gradually became clear, and he said in a deep voice: "There is neither the enemy army coming to help, nor has there been any change, it is the time to capture the flag in one go, why do you want to withdraw the troops in Mingjin?" ”
Zhang He's expression suddenly became cold, and he also had the same confusion in his heart, it was clear that the city was about to be broken during the day, I don't know why Lu Bu ordered to collect the troops? Not to mention the loss of the opportunity to break the city, it is also regrettable that the trapped camp suffered unnecessary casualties during the retreat.
Seeing that Lu Bu was speechless, Cheng Lian had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "This~~ It's too late to fight, and it's not suitable to fight again, so the general ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, so that the soldiers can raise enough physical strength and spirit, and wait for Ming to fight to the death with the thief army." ”
"锵~~"
In the harsh sound of metal grinding, Gao Shun slowly pulled out his sword, took a step closer to Cheng Lian, and asked in a condensed voice: "So, it was General Lu Bu who persuaded General Lu Bu to order Mingjin to withdraw his troops, yes or no?" ”
"You~~" Cheng Lian was stunned and took two steps back, "What do you want to do?" ”
Zhang He hurriedly stepped forward to stop Gao Shun and persuaded: "General Gao Shun, don't be impulsive." ”
"Cheng Lian!" Gao Shun stared at Cheng Lian coldly, and said in a condensed voice, "Today, this blood debt, there will always be a day to recover from you." ”
"Presumptuous!" Lu Bu slapped the case and said sharply, "Gao Shun, what are you trying to do?" How dare you dance your sword in front of this general? It just doesn't make sense! If you don't know what to do, then don't blame General Ben for being unkind! ”
"Humph!"
Gao Shun snorted and walked away.
Zhang He hurriedly chased out of the gate, caught up with Gao Shun and said: "General Gao Shun and stay." ”
Gao Shun stopped and turned around, and saw that Zhang He was busy clasping his fists and saying, "What does the general have to say?" ”
Zhang He turned his head and glanced in the direction of Lu Bu's big tent, and said in a low voice: "Lu Bu is narrow-minded, and he doesn't want the general to achieve great achievements, so he ordered Ming Jin, such villains are not enough to plan big things, even if the coalition army can break through Anyi, sooner or later it will be killed by Lu Bu, I intend to lead the army back to Ye, so I am here to resign, I don't know what the general's plans are?" ”
Gao Shun said: "What General Zhang He said is extremely true, Lu Bu is a villain, insufficient and seeking great things, and then staying here will increase unnecessary casualties, it is better to lead the army back to Caisangjin, meet with General Zhoucang, and then return to Hetao, but it is a pity that the mission of the main bus is not completed, but the last general cannot be completed, alas~~"
……
Liangzhou, by the Jingshui River.
Ma Yue, Ma Teng, and Jia Xu were standing on a small hillside by the river under the escort of hundreds of elite soldiers, looking at the Xu Rong camp on the other side of the river, but they saw that the enemy camp was waving flags and was heavily guarded, and the horses and scouts were all over the inside and outside of the barracks.
Jia Xu stroked his willow whiskers and muttered: "Xu Rong's back to the river bay camping can be said to be unique and the essence of the art of war, so that the left and right wings and the back are river beaches, there is no need to worry about the sudden attack of our army's iron cavalry, if our army chooses to attack, the only way to break through from the front." ”
Ma Teng's expression also showed a bit of solemnity, and he said in a deep voice: "On the front, Xu Rong also dug trenches that are chaotic and of different depths, and our army's cavalry is useless at all!" If the foot guards carry dirt to fill these trenches, they will be killed by Xu Rongjun's archers~~ It's really tricky. ”
Ma Yue's expression was gloomy, and he looked at Xu Rong's camp on the other side of the river and was silent for a long time.
Suddenly, Ma Yue recalled the time when he was in Nanyang and Yingchuan, when although he had few soldiers and few generals, he always won by surprise and defeated one invincible enemy after another.
Ma Yue never thought that he would be able to defeat so many heroes and famous generals, but he was helpless in the face of unknown people like Xu Rong in Liangzhou! But after a change of thought, Ma Yue was relieved, when he was in Nanyang and in Doubtful Sichuan, why didn't he Ma Yue rely on unknown people? Who would have taken him seriously in the first place? That's why he can pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and use the enemy's paralysis and carelessness to create one miracle after another.
But now the situation is different, now Ma Yue is already famous, who else doesn't know the name of the horse butcher in the world, and who doesn't know? Moreover, the generals always grow up in the continuous killing and conquest, the famous generals are not famous generals at the beginning, and the heroes are not the heroes from the beginning, only after experiencing countless trials and countless bloody battles, the famous generals will become famous generals, and the heroes will become real heroes.
Cao Ying and Liu Bei were defeated by Ma Yue at the beginning, because Cao Ying and Liu Bei were only newcomers to the battlefield at that time.
Ma Yue has no way to take Xu Rong in Liangzhou, because the current Xu Rong has experienced a hundred battles, has grown up in countless bloody battles and tempering, and all the flaws that may be taken advantage of by the enemy have been eliminated by Xu Rong, and he has lost the soil for risk, and Ma Yue's best "winning in danger" has no use.
Taking a deep breath of cold air, Ma Yue said in a deep voice: "It is absolutely impossible to capture Liangzhou, let's go back to Hetao." ”
Jia Xu arched his hand and said: "The lord is Mingjian." ”
Ma Teng sighed: "So far, it can only be like this. ”
……
The Loop.
At the foot of Yin Mountain, the Xianbei coalition army camp, Kebineng big tent.
Kebi Neng's general Wu Li suddenly disagreed: "Bu Dugen's troops are not more than the king, why let him be the commander of the coalition army?" I want to say, this commander should be the king. ”
The generals said one after another: "That is, in terms of military exploits and martial arts, who else in this prairie is comparable to our king, although Bu Dugen is the heir of the Xianbei royal court, but this was already a few years ago, and the throne of Da Xianbei should now be held by the most brave and warlike warriors." ”
Kebineng Huo Ran raised his hand, and all the generals were silent.
Kebineng's majestic gaze swept over the faces of the generals one by one, and said in a condensed voice: "It's just enough to say these words in front of this king, if anyone dares to say a word outside, don't blame this king for being polite!" ”
"King!" Wu Li suddenly refused, "Why is this?" ”
"Why?" Kebineng glared at Wu Litu coldly, and shouted, "Think about it with your pig brain, is this coalition commander really worth fighting for?" Do you really think that this king can't compete with the waste of Budugen? No, you're all wrong, in fact, this king never thought of being the commander of this coalition at all. ”
"Huh?" Wu Li suddenly said in a lost voice, "King, you don't want to be the commander of the coalition forces?" ”
Kebineng smiled sadly: "Soon, you will know why this king does not want to be the commander of this coalition army!" ”
……
Outside the city of Anyi, the camp of the coalition army.
Zhang Liao hurriedly went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army, and when he was still dozens of steps away from the big tent of Lu Bu, Zhang Liao heard bursts of sheng singing and faint silver voices, Zhang Liao's thick eyebrows frowned for a moment, and a trace of worry flashed in the tiger's eyes, and the right hand that originally stretched out to lift the tent curtain was retracted.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Liao gritted his teeth and opened the tent curtain and broke straight into Lu Bu's Chinese army tent.
Lu Bu was also full of silver smiles, rubbing his hands wantonly on the two singers, and the big tent was filled with a silver-soaked atmosphere.
Lu Bu was teased by the two female Jiao'e, and when he was about to get into the main topic, he didn't want the curtain to be suddenly opened and ruin the good thing, so he couldn't help but be annoyed: "Wen Yuan, didn't General Ben arrange for you to go on a night patrol?" You don't go to patrol the camp at night, what are you doing in the general's camp? ”
Zhang Liao knelt down on one knee and said in a condensed voice: "General, something has happened." ”
Lu Bu frowned and said displeasedly: "What's the matter?" ”
Zhang Liao hurriedly said: "I just visited the Malay report, three days ago Dong Zhuo led the army to attack Jinyang, Jinyang has fallen, most of the defenders have surrendered, and Lord Assassin Shi has died in the chaos. ”
"What is the history of stabbing and not stabbing history, isn't it just a dead person, if you die, you will die, what is there to make a fuss about~~uh~~" Lu Bu was halfway through speaking, and suddenly stood up with a gasp, and the two enchanting women hanging on Lu Bu were also thrown away from afar, Lu Bu said in a speech, "What~~ What?" What did you just say!? ”
"Lord Assassin Shi is dead, Jinyang has fallen, and the foundation of our army is extinct!" Zhang Liao said in a deep voice, "It's pointless to continue to besiege Anyi, why don't you return to Jinyang immediately and fight to the death with Dong Zhuo's old thief?" ”
(To be continued)
