Chapter 59: Luojing (3)

When the Fen River flowed to Zhaocheng, it suddenly turned westward, so at this time, the location of Zhaocheng became the southeast bank of Fenshui, and our army was on the northeast bank of Fenshui.

Looking at the city on the other side of the river, which is still quite majestic, it is estimated that there are more than 5,000 defenders inside, and it is not difficult to defeat it, the key is how to fight beautifully. At this time, the defenders at the head of the city had also seen our troops on the other side, and they looked somewhat frightened, perhaps because of the impact of our army's feat on them last night.

At this time, Feng Xian couldn't help but ask me: "Brother Xian, how do you think this battle should be fought?" ”

I shook my head and said, "In this battle, we will not attack the city, but fight a field battle." ”

"Fighting in the field?" Feng Xian was puzzled, and then asked: "How to play?" ”

I said, "If I'm not mistaken, enemy reinforcements are coming." ”

Feng Xian couldn't help but ponder for a moment, and then suddenly said: "I understand, the reason why Brother Xian sent dry food to those enemy soldiers last night was so that they could rush back alive to report the news, right?" ”

I smiled and said, "Brother is smart, it's not enough to let them go, we have to let them be used by us; Fighting a field battle is more advantageous to our army than a siege war, and the only thing we have to do now is to send a force to ambush in the ravine to the south, and when the enemy's reinforcements arrive, we will kill him and turn him on his back. ”

Feng Xian couldn't help but nod and said, "Well, the virtuous brother is a good plan; Li Su, I order you to lead a thousand soldiers to lay an ambush in the col ahead, and when the enemy's reinforcements arrive, they will be killed immediately. ”

"No." Li Su was ordered to take people away.

At this time, the scout suddenly came to report: "Qi Qi Lord, there is a group of soldiers and horses coming north in the direction of Yangcheng, about thousands of people. ”

Feng Xian said: "I know, let's explore again." ”

"No." The scout took the order and left.

I smiled and said: "It seems that the enemy's movements are the same as I thought, and the reinforcements from Yang County should only be the first wave, and after they are annihilated, there will definitely be a second wave; Fortunately, let's come to a siege to send reinforcements, the first wave of reinforcements will let them come, and our army will be responsible for defeating them, and when the second wave of reinforcements comes, let the brothers in ambush come out. ”

Feng Xian nodded and said, "Pass my military order, let Li Su and the others stand still, and let the enemy army come." ”

"No." A herald took the order.

I lowered the corners of my mouth again and said, "Let the brothers all prepare for the next big battle, and we must fight this battle quickly." ”

Yang County is only more than 30 miles away from Zhaocheng, and the enemy army appeared in the sight of our army in just one hour. At this time, the enemy troops on the other side also made some timely moves, and it seemed that they wanted to attack our army on both sides. This scene is exactly what I wanted, I am afraid that the enemy army on the other side will not dare to go out of the city to meet the battle, so that we will not have a chance to capture the city.

At this time, Feng Xian said: "Brother Xian, give you 1,000 cavalry, the enemy soldiers on the west bank will be handed over to you, and I will be responsible for the east bank." ”

I said, "No problem, by the way, let's see which of our brothers can defeat our enemy first." ”

Feng Xian smiled: "Haha, okay, that's what my brother has this intention." ”

Subsequently, I led 1,000 cavalry to meet the enemy army on the west bank, Zhang Xiao followed me into battle, and Wei Xu and Chen Wei followed Feng Xian. As soon as I looked at my face, I heard the enemy generals scolding and scolding: "Ge Laozi, just such a small number of people are here, and it is not enough to even stuff the gaps between your teeth." ”

Listening to this person's accent, it looks like that he is from Sichuan, and it is estimated that he is also a general who has not been recorded in history. As I galloped, I casually raised purple lightning in my hand, trying to shoot him with an arrow. However, a murderous aura suddenly shot out from my side. I couldn't help but turn my head to look, only to see that Zhang Xiao pulled out a short gun from behind and threw it out. But in a breath, only a scream was heard in front of him, and the enemy was shot in the throat and thrown headlong from the horse. Immediately, the enemy army panicked.

I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows and said, "Yo, did you shoot quite accurately?" ”

Zhang Xiao lowered the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "It's okay." ”

Then, I shot an arrow, put away the purple lightning, and then drew the halberd from my back, and struck the enemy line. Needless to say, my martial arts are self-explanatory, no one can be my one-trick enemy, and all those who were swept by my halberd flew up and knocked the people next to me into the sky. I saw 500 cavalrymen in a formation of arrows, and as I "shot" the enemy formation in one breath.

Then the enemy army was attacked by our army in front and back, and the phalanx of thousands of people was in chaos for a while, and we were surrounded and killed one after another by our 1,500 people, crying dad and mother, but in a few rounds they had to abandon their armor and flee. Except for a small number of people who crossed the river and escaped, more than 4,000 people were killed and captured, and the battle was also a great victory.

At this time, Feng Xian had also penetrated the enemy formation, controlled the city gate, and was not far from capturing the city. Immediately, I asked Zhang Xiao to lead 500 cavalry across the river to aid Fengxian, and strive to capture the city in the shortest possible time.

After Zhang Xiao's 500 cavalry joined the fight, the speed of the war was significantly faster. But I saw that Zhang Xiao's marksmanship was also very good, and one move and one style were like the power of a thousand jun, like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves. All those who were struck by the spear in his hand broke their bones and died instantly. This marksmanship is domineering, and because of its gun name, it is called overlord marksmanship.

Half an hour later, my side finished cleaning up the battlefield. Then my men asked me what to do with the captives. This problem is not simple, all of them are released, and each person is given a little dry food and asked them to go back to report the news. I have no interest in co-opting these prisoners, for I cannot guarantee that they will be able to abide by the discipline of our army, as they are the ones who only know how to raid houses and rob houses all day long in the midst of the turmoil.

Subsequently, I led 1,000 infantry to cross the Fen River to the east bank to help in the battle. Not to mention that our army conquered two cities in a row, which greatly boosted the morale of the sergeants and dealt a big blow to the morale of the enemy.

Not long after, Pingyang City also sent reinforcements, but after encountering the prisoners we released on the way, as soon as they heard that Zhaocheng had fallen, they withdrew the reinforcements again. This made Li Su a little puzzled, he was ambushed in the mountain col for most of the day, and he didn't fight a single battle, what kind of ambush is this. In fact, fighting a war is like this, if you win the war, you will fight, and if you can't win, you will withdraw.

There were many women and children in the city, most of them were family members of the white wave soldiers, and a small number of women were taken captive by them from other places. As usual, we don't interfere with their daily routines. At this moment, many of the captured Baibo troops were about to surrender and did not want to fight anymore, so Feng Xian ordered people to settle them, divide the arable land for them, and live and work.

However, he said that at this time, in addition to the previous 10,000 officers and soldiers, Dong Zhuo's command recruited 20,000 or 30,000 people. These people are all elite people in Yong and Liang, and many of them are Qiang people. In the course of the battle with the White Polish Army in the past few days, the battle line has been advancing northward. Taking into account the offensive of the Bingzhou army in the north, Guo Da, the leader of the Baibo army, had to shrink the defensive line and lead all the people to retreat to the Baibo Valley. However, there is a valley in the northeast of Linfen and on the east bank of Fenshui, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and tens of thousands of Baibo troops are stuck in it, which is really difficult to break.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo sent troops and horses to guard the surrounding cities, and while continuing to recruit warriors, he besieged the Baibo army, intending to trap them in the valley.

Later, Feng Xian and Dong Zhuo converged. I have to say that this product is indeed quite fat, but it looks just fat, not as fat as described in the history books. Perhaps, it was because he later took control of the power and became comfortable in life, so he gained weight.

After meeting, Feng Xian couldn't help but arch his hand and said: "Subordinate Lu Bu, please meet Dong Zhoumu." ”

saw Dong Zhuo smile and said: "Haha, I have long heard of Fengxian's prestige, but now when I see it, it is really extraordinary; It's a privilege for the old man to have your service! ”

Feng Xian said: "Dong Zhou has won the award. ”

Immediately, Dong Zhuo looked at me on the side, and couldn't help but look at it and said: "The old man heard that Feng Xian has a righteous brother, who has the power of a tiger and a handsome appearance, and is called a god general; Hmm, I think it's this little brother, right? ”

I smiled slightly and said, "Dong Zhou Mu has good eyesight, and he is Shao Ran below." ”

Dong Zhuo couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha, okay, the old man has the help of the two of you, so why worry about big things." ”

I couldn't help but look moved, but asked: "I don't know what the "big event" in Dong Zhoumu's mouth means? ”

Dong Zhuo replied: "Naturally, it refers to the extermination of this chaotic bandit." ”

I couldn't help but wonder, "Is there nothing else you think about just exterminating the bandits?" ”

Dong Zhuo was puzzled: "Just destroy the bandits, quell the rebellion, and fulfill the entrustment of the Son of Heaven, what else do you have to think?" ”

I couldn't help but say, "Oh, it's nothing, it's a misunderstanding." ”

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but smile and said, "Hehe, little brother, don't you think the old man has any different intentions, right?" I don't dare to think about this kind of sin of killing my head. ”

I immediately laughed dumbly, this Dong Zhuo doesn't seem to be quite the same as what is said in the history books. Could it be that what Dong Zhuo did recorded in the history books is just a second-track statement after the fact? In that case, why did Feng Xian turn against him? Hmm, it seems to be very problematic here.
