"The big-eared thief is here again! Not again! Get up! Hurry up! Crossbowmen, prepare! Spearmen, get ready! Don't sleep, get up, get up! ”

On the same night that the main force of Xuzhou broke the reinforcements of Yuan Shu's army in Lujiang, it also happened to be in the dead of night at the time of the third watch, under the corpses of Quyang City, another team of Liu Beijun touched the edge of the moat of Quyang City, and suddenly it was beating gongs and drums, shouting and shouting, only to startle the Xuzhou soldiers who were sleeping in armor on Quyang City in a panic, and the Xuzhou soldiers who were sleeping in the city tower also quickly got up, rushed out with bloodshot eyes with weapons, and flew to their posts to guard the city, similar shouting and screaming, It also reverberated on the Quyang city wall again.

What made the Xuzhou soldiers angry was that when their team was just arranged in place, the team of Liu Beijun soldiers who beat gongs and drums ran quickly with their tails between their legs, and the city wall was empty, and they couldn't even see a ghost shadow. The shameless thief who took the shit luck, if he has the ability, he will come to a dignified battle again, and what kind of heroes and heroes are calculated with tired soldiers? ”

Zang Ba's anger is not without reason, and our Uncle Liu Huang's luck on the Quyang battlefield this time is really ridiculously good! After our Uncle Liu Huang crossed the Huai to the south, he took over the task of storming Quyang from Yuan Sangong, considering that most of his subordinates were newly incorporated rabble, and he knew that his main opponent was the Fengyu Army led by Xu Sheng and the Langya Army led by Zang Ba, the two main forces of Xuzhou, originally even Uncle Liu Huang himself did not have much hope of victory, but just made up his mind to honestly be cannon fodder for Xiao Yuan Sangong, to prove that he had the courage to fight a decisive battle with the Xuzhou army, and then find a way to cheat the grain and soldiers and deceive the territory from the hands of Yuan Sangong- This is also the real purpose of our Uncle Liu Huang to rescue Xiao Yuan Sangong with all his might.

What no one expected was that Uncle Liu Huang, who had always been ridiculously lucky, won the jackpot again this time, and won the five million jackpot twice in one go! When Liu Beijun arrived at Quyang City, just in time for Zang Ba to be ordered to give up the containment of the Qiao Rui army, and led the army back to Quyang City, Uncle Liu Huang stubbornly let Zhang Fei lead the army to intercept, Zang Ba, who had never fought with Zhang Fei, did not know whether he was alive or dead, and hated Zhang Sanye for stabbing to death the old feud of his righteous brother Sun Kang, and impulsively went out to fight with Zhang Fei, the result can also be imagined, after more than 20 rounds of fighting, Zang Ba was stabbed in the left shoulder by Zhang Fei with a spear and almost died, and the defeat returned to the main formation, the morale of the Langya soldiers was greatly frustrated, and Zhang Fei took advantage of the situation to wave the army to cover up. Huainan old cockroach Qiao Rui also led the army from the Yin Tomb to kill, and the two armies joined forces to attack Zang Ba's army before and after, and Zang Ba's army was suddenly in a hurry.

The situation has reached this point, originally with the combat effectiveness of the Langya soldiers in Zang Ba's team, even if they were attacked by Zhang Fei and Qiao Rui back and forth, even if they could not turn defeat into victory, they would not suffer a big loss, and at the same time, after receiving the news that Zang Ba's army was tight, Lu Su also decisively dispatched another trump card Fengyu Army in Xuzhou, led by Xu Sheng to rush to the battlefield reinforcements ten miles away. And although Uncle Liu Huang sent Guan Yu to lead the army to intercept the Wind Feather Army, he would definitely not be able to parry the overwhelming and endless powerful crossbow arrows of the Wind Feather Army! But at this moment, Uncle Liu's second prize came - the sky that had been clear for a long time was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and in the blink of an eye, lightning and thunder roared, and a violent storm immediately fell on the battlefield!

It's good to have a rainstorm, the wind feather army who relies on a strong crossbow to eat is suddenly dumbfounded, the beast tendon bowstring of the hard crossbow in their hands becomes soft when it encounters water, and they lose their elasticity and can't release the arrows, no matter how many cheap wind feather arrows in their hands can't shoot out, it's useless, the number one human arrow target Guan Erye of the Three Kingdoms took the opportunity to rush and fight, and led the army to rush into the position of the wind feather army in hand-to-hand combat, so that the wind feather army naturally can't think of not suffering losses, a vicious battle in the rain down, the wind feather army lost more than 400 people, and the Xuzhou infantry covering the wind feather army also lost more than 500 people, Forced to retreat to Quyang City to avoid the rain.

Drinking cold water and stuffing his teeth encountered such an unfortunate thing, of course, the Xuzhou army up and down is demoralized, and more than 4,000 new cannon fodder in Zang Ba's team also appeared in a large number of mutinies, which further shook the military heart and morale of Zang Ba's team - but this is also Zang Ba's own suffering, Zang Ba's Langya soldiers Taishan thief's surname is difficult to move, discipline is lax, Tao Ying because of Zang Ba's identity and status is inconvenient to punish Langya soldiers too much, these Langya soldiers bully the surrendered cannon fodder soldiers are naturally unscrupulous, in the case of unfavorable war, the cannon fodder recruits who are usually abused by the Langya soldiers naturally have different intentions.

Under his own suffering, the wounded Zang Ba was forced to be helpless, did not dare to wait for the rain to stop the reinforcements to come to the rescue, led the army to retreat to the north gate of Quyang in a roundabout way, Qiao Rui and Zhang Fei took the opportunity to chase and kill, Zang Ba's army suffered heavy casualties, and the more than 4,000 cannon fodder soldiers who had been recruited by Tu before were either killed in battle or scattered and fled, and more were returned to the warm and broad arms of Xiao Yuan Sangong on the spot, almost lost, all relying on the Langya veterans to fight to the death, so that Zang Ba escaped back to Quyang City, and did not let the injured Zang Ba fall into the hands of the Yuan-Liu coalition army.

Relying on unbelievable good luck, he defeated the Fengyu Army and Langya Soldiers, the main forces of the two major war soldiers in Xuzhou, and Uncle Liu Huang, who had never dared to dream of really being able to take Quyang City, was also like a 180 injections of strengthening, and began to question whether he was destined to return, while doing his best to attack Quyang City for Xiao Yuan Sangong; Qiao Rui, the most powerful general of Yuan Shujun's northern front, also knew that the fighter plane was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not only did not have to preserve his strength, but also did everything possible to give advice to Uncle Liu Huang, and assisted Uncle Liu Huang to attack Quyang at any cost. Ignoring the resolute opposition of the lord Bo Yanxiang, he sent the general Lei Bo to lead an army of 15,000 to escort a large number of military reinforcements to Quyang, striving to take the opportunity to recapture the important town of Quyang, and turn the main force of Xuzhou, which went south to attack Hefei, into a lone army.

In this way, in the face of the Liu Yuan coalition army, whose strength has skyrocketed to more than 50,000 people, the more than 10,000 Xuzhou troops in Quyang City will naturally fight more hard, and the field troops out of the city are not as good as the Liu Yuan coalition army, and the fighting generals can not fight the Liu Yuan coalition army, so they can only passively defend behind closed doors. On the first day of the siege battle, the first day of the siege battle filled the moat of Quyang with earth and stones and soldiers' corpses, and then the siege weapons such as ladder trucks, crash cars, and thunderbolt vehicles took turns to go into battle, and once and again at the expense of human lives, the frenzied attack on the city wall of Quyang, in just three days of siege battle, Uncle Liu Huang threw down the corpses of more than 8,000 cannon fodder soldiers under Quyang City, and the Xuzhou army that was passively guarded also suffered more than 2,000 casualties. Among them, nearly half of them are the main soldiers of Xuzhou.

At the same time, Uncle Liu Huang also listened to Qiao Rui's two suggestions to attack the city, the first is to dig tunnels to attack the city according to the characteristics of the thick soil in Quyang, although this hand was cracked by Lu Su with the trick of digging deep trenches in the city, Qiao Rui but for the shortcomings of the Xuzhou army, and put forward a more vicious plan to fatigue the army, so that Uncle Liu Huang sent hundreds of people to the city every half an hour at night to beat gongs and drums, shouting and pretending to attack the city, so as to exhaust the mental and physical strength of the Xuzhou soldiers, and this trick Lu Su and Zang Ba and others have no way- In case of a sudden truth in the middle of the ten holidays, the Xuzhou soldiers in Quyang City will not be able to cry.

So there is no way, Lu Su, Zang Ba, Cao surnamed and Xu Sheng and others can only divide the army into two teams, and rotate to guard the city wall at night, Uncle Liu Huang rushes to meet the battle every time he comes to disturb him, and he can be woken up ** times in one night, and the team on duty at night is basically exhausted, and his mental and physical strength are extremely weak, and at the same time, he has to go to the city to reinforce at a critical moment during the day, it can be said that he can't sleep and close his eyes, morale has further declined, and his physical strength and combat effectiveness have also been greatly reduced, Lu Su and Zang Ba and others are anxious about this, But there is nothing to be done.

After the poor Xuzhou soldiers were tossed eight times like this, the sky finally brightened, but before the Xuzhou soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, Uncle Liu's siege army appeared under the city of Quyang again, or at the same time appeared outside the three gates of the east and west of Quyang, the poor Xuzhou soldiers did not even have the opportunity to rotate down the city to rest, so they could only quickly ring the alarm gong and call on their companions in the city to go to the city to fight.

After another moment, the tragic siege battle began again, Liu Beijun's soldiers who couldn't even eat enough in Runan continued to serve as vanguard cannon fodder, and stepped forward for Uncle Liu's illusory promises, carrying and pushing all kinds of siege weapons and shouting, while Yuan Shujun under Qiao Rui and Lei Bo mainly served as auxiliary tasks, using things such as Yiyun, long shields and earthen bags to build temporary fortifications on the side of the moat, and hiding behind the fortifications to suppress the defenders on the city with bows and arrows.

Like the first three days, the battle on the fourth day entered the white-hot from the beginning, tens of thousands of Liu Beijun cannon fodder in thousands of people, wave after wave of turns to impact the city wall of Quyang, once the weak point of the city defense was found, immediately put into heavy troops, arrows in the sky came and went like locusts, the ground was like thunder, hundreds of flying ladders and more than a dozen large ladder cars were set on the head of the city, Liu Beijun's infantry stepped on the ladder and stormed up, the fighting crowd has been melee on the city, from time to time there are soldiers on both sides falling from the height of the city wall, falling down heavily, Falling into the dense pile of corpses under the city wall, layer upon layer of barriers, splashing blood stained the Quyang city wall with a large area of terrible dark red, which was shocking.

In the face of Uncle Liu's repeated fierce attacks at such a costless life, not only the Xuzhou army in a passive state had to pay a huge price to defend the city, but the generals under the command of Xiao Yuan Sangong, who were Uncle Liu's allies, couldn't help but be moved, and secretly admired Uncle Liu's organization and agitation ability, Qiao Rui couldn't help but remind Uncle Liu Huang in a low voice: "Xuande Gong, if you continue to attack so strongly, will the casualties of your army be too great, which is not conducive to our next war?" Our enemy is not only the Xuzhou thief army in Quyang City, the real main force of the Xuzhou thief army is still two hundred miles south of us, and may return to Quyang at any time. ”

Uncle Liu Huang's face was solemn, and he sighed for a while, and said bitterly: "General Qiao, it's not that you don't have compassion for the soldiers, and you also feel sorry for these sacrificed Runan soldiers, but we don't have time, as the general said, Tao Ying's main force to destroy the thieves is two hundred miles to the south, as long as Tao Ying destroys the thieves, the main infantry can kill back to Quyang City in three days at most, and Tao Ying's hypocrite army can easily kill Quyang City in one day as long as they are willing." If we do not seize the time and seize this opportunity, it will be even more difficult to fight the battle in the future. ”

Qiao Rui was silent, and he was silent for a long time before he sighed: "People say that Xuande Gong is noble and righteous, and now it can be seen, Fang is well-known, and my lord Yuan Gong can get the help of Xuande Gong, which is really the blessing of my lord, the blessing of our army, and the blessing of Huainan." ”

"The general has won the award, but he really doesn't dare to be prepared." Uncle Liu Huang was modest, but he was secretly pondering in his heart, "If Tao Ying's thief returns to the Quyang battlefield, Yinling and Shouchun in time, where should I go?" If you go to Yinling, you can hope to be directly in charge of Yinling City, and you can get Yuan Shu's troops and grain and grass to supplement you when you return to Shouchun, each with its own strengths, and it is really difficult to choose ....... ”

"No, you can't go to the Yin Tomb! After Tao Ying's thief returned to Quyang, Yinling is a lonely city, if I go to Yinling, although there is hope to be in charge of a city, but once Tao Ying's thief first attacks Yinling and then Shouchun, Yuan Shupifu will never send a soldier to save me! can only go back to Shouchun, first get some troops and grain and grass supplies from Yuan Shu's hands, and then you can act at the opportunity, Shouchun can hold on, and if you can't hold it, you can pull Yuan Shu to retreat to Lujiang County by taking the road of Anfeng, while retreating to the hinterland of Huainan, while slowly swallow............ing Yuan Shu's team and territory. ”

…………………………

"In order to make Yuan Shu trust him more, and also give him more money and food support and a foothold, the big-eared thief is taking the corpse pile, and he will definitely pile up a mountain of corpses under Quyang City that can go to the city?"

At the same time, outside Hefei City, in the main military camp of Xuzhou, after listening to Tao's evaluation of Uncle Liu Huang, who was far less scheming than his father's brother, Chen Ying was inevitably puzzled, and couldn't help but ask again: "Lord, please forgive me for being rude, is my lord's analysis of the Quyang war too exaggerated?" Big-eared thieves have always been deceitful, how can they be willing to squander the army like this? Isn't he afraid that the army will be finished, and Yuan Shupifu will ignore him even more? ”

"It's not an exaggeration at all." Tao Ying shook his head and said with a sneer: "If you want to take it, you must give it first, this big-eared thief plays more beautifully than anyone else, and he has more experience than anyone else." In the Battle of Jieqiao that year, if the big-eared thief didn't sacrifice his life to rescue Gongsun Zhan, how could Gongsun Zhan let him serve as a fugitive from the court as the minister of the plains, and give him 300 elite cavalry and more than 1,000 infantry as the capital to turn over? In the later Battle of Xuzhou, if the big-eared thief was not the first to break through the Cao thief to block and reinforce Pengcheng, how could my father give him so many soldiers and horses, grain and grass, and baggage? If the big-eared thief hadn't killed Guan Hai and saved Beihai, how could Kong Rong take the risk of offending Xuzhou and take him in, and also give money and food for him to make a comeback in Beihai? ”

Speaking of this, Tao Ying, who had a dry mouth, took a sip of the teacup, and added: "It's the same this time, I can be sure that even if the big-eared thief knows that there is little hope of defeating Quyang, he will attack Quyang at any cost and spare his life, so that Yuan Shu can see his exploitable value, so that Yuan Shu will hand over more money and food to the big-eared thief in order to use the big-eared thief to resist our army, and the big-eared thief will also use Yuan Shu's trust and dependence on him like in Xuzhou, while buying the hearts of the army and the people in Huainan, while fishing in troubled waters, Gradually annex Yuan Shu's team and territory! ”

Chen Ying nodded as if he didn't understand, and after a little calculation, Chen Ying smiled and said: "But I'm afraid the big-eared thief won't have much chance this time, now although the main force of our army failed to take Hefei City, it also hit Yuan Shu's Lujiang reinforcements, and it is difficult for Lujiang and Liyang to send reinforcements again in a short period of time, and the main force of our army can quickly return to Quyang and fight to the death with the big-eared thief!" ”

"Yuan Fang (not funny, it is indeed Chen Ying's words), it seems that you really need to learn from your brother Yuan Long and your father Han Yu Public School." Tao Ying shook his head again, and said with a wry smile: "The purpose of the big-eared thief coming to Huainan is to fish in troubled waters, how can he take all the capital and gamble on it?" I can be sure that after receiving the news that the main force of our army returned to the division, the big-eared thief was a symbol of the surname to resist it, and even the symbol of the surname was not resisted, under the pretext that the army suffered heavy casualties under Quyang City, and directly retreated to Shouchun or Yinling, and then used our army's threat to Yuan Shu to fish in troubled waters, so our main force returned to Quyang, and it was impossible to seize the opportunity to fight with the big-eared thief. ”

After saying this, Tao Ying frowned again, and calculated: "I'm afraid that the big-eared thief will not retreat to Yinling, and it is impossible for Yuan Shupifu's southern line reinforcements to come again for the time being, Zijing As long as they can insist that the main force of our army return to Quyang, Yinling will become a lonely city, if the big-eared thief goes to Yinling, our army will first storm Yinling, with Yuan Shupifu's selfish surname, it is absolutely impossible to send a single reinforcement to the big-eared thief, and it is impossible not to see this with the big-eared thief's deceitful and slippery." Shouchun! Only by retreating to Shouchun can the big-eared thief not have to worry about being abandoned by Yuan Shu, and he can also get more opportunities to fish in troubled waters. ”

After listening to Tao Ying's reasonable and detailed analysis, Chen Ying nodded silently in agreement, and said: "If it is really as the lord expected, it seems that after the main force of our army returns to the division, the battle of Shouchun is still relatively difficult to fight. ”

"Whether the siege of Shouchun is difficult or not is only a small question." Tao Ying pinched his chin and said in a deep voice: "What I'm more worried about is that if Yuan Shupifu gives up Shouchun and takes the big-eared thief to retreat to the hinterland of the Lujiang River on the road of Anfeng, then the consequences will be more serious." With the ability of a big-eared thief, it is logical to enter the hinterland of the Lujiang River with the army, isn't it equivalent to a bird in the sky and a fish in the sea? If you let the big-eared thief cross the Yangtze River again....... ”

Shen Yin came here, imagining the dangerous consequences of Uncle Liu Huang crossing the river, Tao Ying subconsciously shivered - Tao Ying didn't want to kill Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, and indirectly cultivated a Jiangdong Uncle Liu Huang with his own hands!

At this time, Chen Ying opened his mouth and said very distressedly: "If there is any way to let the big-eared thief stay in Quyang and fight with us, or let the big-eared thief lead his troops south and take the initiative to fight the main force of our army, it would be better." ”

"How can there be such a good thing?" Tao Ying was very contemptuous of Chen Ying's naivety, and said with a sneer: "The big-eared thief is not an idiot, how can he be such a stupid ......, heh?" ”

Speaking of this, Tao Ying paused suddenly, and his eyes in his triangular eyes also rolled violently, Chen Ying over there was the first time to go out with the army as Tao Ying's lord, and he didn't know much about Tao Ying's surname habits, and Tao Ying was angry at his stupid words, and hurriedly apologized: "The lord blames it, he is talking stupid things, and the big-eared thief is ......." ”

"Don't talk!" Deputy Director Tao interrupted Chen Ying's apology with a wave of his hand, and the eyeballs in his triangular eyes turned even more violently, and after twenty or thirty turns, Deputy Director Tao suddenly waved his hand again, and said very excitedly: "Why did I drill the tip of the horn?" It is impossible for a big-eared thief to be stupid, but Yuan Shupifu can be stupid! And if he uses a big-eared thief to do stupid things, Yuan Shupifu will not care about the consequences! ”

"Lord, what are you talking about, why don't you understand?" Chen Ying asked cautiously.

"You'll get it soon." Deputy Director Tao smiled very happily and said, "I remember that Hou Cheng sent someone to report to me, saying that he had captured Liu Xun's eldest son Liu Wei on the battlefield, and ordered him to bring this Liu Wei immediately." Yuan Fang, you cooperate with me to play a scene, and let Yuan Shupifu force the big-eared thief to fight our main force! ”

(To be continued)
