Chapter 167: Xu Huang slashes four generals
Longxi County, Di Dao.
At this time, although it has entered autumn, but the so-called "autumn tiger", the weather is still very hot, the official road is on both sides of a large wheat field, the winter wheat in the field is lush, the west wind blows, the green wheat seedlings are undulating, a fragrance mixed with the heat hits the nose, making people smell the heart refreshed.
At this time, the city of Di Dao was besieged by tens of thousands of troops, and the continuous camps were densely packed, dotted around Di Dao layer after layer. The city of Didao is more than seven feet high, and after many bloody attacks and defenses, the city wall has long been mottled with blood, and many stumps and broken arms that have not been cleaned up are shocking.
Longxi County has eleven counties, the total population is only 200,000, Di Dao as the seat of Longxi, the population is only 60,000 or 70,000, in addition to 10,000 Qiang people every year out of Qiang Road to plunder, they have never seen such a battle, facing the dense military camps outside the city, as well as the daily deafening shouts of killing, as well as the iron cavalry that makes the houses tremble, a person is panicked, restless.
In the face of Lu Bu's tens of thousands of tiger and wolf divisions, most of the clans in Di Dao thought that it was a matter of time before the city was broken, because of the germination of this idea, so many of Di Dao's scholars refused to help Liang Xi defend the city, so as not to anger the siege of the city and the state army, if they climbed the city tower to assist Liang Xi in defense, it would not be possible to provoke Lu Bu to carry out a retaliatory massacre after breaking the city, which was not in their interests at all.
After losing the support of the Di Daohao clan, the morale of the Longxi army defending the city dropped sharply, which could not but make Liang Xi worried.
Last year, Liang Xi came to Longxi with his subordinates to take office, at that time he was only tens of thousands of horses, after a year of recruitment, the army was expanded to 20,000, but before he could sit in the position of Longxi Taishou, this Lu Bu led a large army to come.
Of course, he couldn't let his hard work for more than a year be in vain, so he took the initiative to meet the enemy's wrong strategy, leading 30,000 elite soldiers in Longxi and 10,000 county soldiers to fight with Lu Bu's army in the territory of Barrier County, and lost several games in a row under the condition of Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang, not only losing seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses, but also killing several henchmen.
In desperation, Liang Xi could only change his strategy and set up defenses in dangerous places along the way to block the advance speed of Lu Bu's army, but the trapping camp led by Gao Shun was an elite division, and Xu Huang and Zhang Liao were also fierce generals who could fight well, and their combat effectiveness was not the same as that of the Qiang soldiers who came to attack.
Within half a month, Lu Bu's army successively broke through Angu, Longxian, and Shouyang counties, facing the powerful offensive of the Bingzhou army, and the invincible momentum of the rainbow, along the way step by step, killing Liang Xi's Longxi army was defeated and retreated, and 5,000 men and horses were lost on the way to retreat into Didao.
After Liang Xi retreated into Di Dao with the remnants of the defeated army, Xu Huang led an army of 30,000 to besiege Di Dao in one go, set up camp around the city, and made a posture of strong attack.
It was at this time that Liang Xi asked his henchmen to take fifty horsemen to break through to Wuwei to ask Ma Teng for help, but it has been ten days now, and there is still no movement of the rescuers, and Erdi Dao has been completely isolated from the outside world, and he can only see migratory birds flying overhead from the south every day.
What made the defenders in the city even more desperate was that Jiang Xu, the general of Hanyang, who had just defected to Lu Bu, and Yang Hu, who had joined the army, led 10,000 Hanyang troops to assist in the siege of the city.
"It seems that Ma Teng is planning to give up Longxi, and there is no need to defend this Di Dao."
Liang Xi frowned, pressed one hand on the saber at his waist, and covered his forehead with the other hand to look down at the city.
I saw that almost all the barracks in the state were scattered, tens of thousands of troops were lined up in armor and waiting for orders, and even the cavalry were all put on their horses, looking at the formation, it seemed that they were about to launch a strong attack.
"Ma Teng, as the assassin of Liangzhou, actually turned a cold eye to the life and death of Longxi, we must impeach him"
The angry words of the staff suddenly sounded behind him, which made Liang Xi change color for a moment: "Liang Xing and I have always disobeyed Ma Teng's orders, he wishes I would die early, and it is also my expectation that he will not send troops to help."
The staff member immediately gave up his hand and suggested: "Lord, since Ma Teng doesn't care about us, and Di Dao can't hold it, we should find a way out as soon as possible."
Liang Xing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you have any good suggestions?" ”
The staff member's eyes immediately flashed with resentment, and he said fiercely: "My lord, since those scholars are not far away to help us defend the city, we simply slaughter these wealthy clans without stopping anything, rob their property and take refuge in Dangqiang, and look for a chance to take revenge in the future."
Liang Xi's eyes flickered, he gently twisted the mustache on his upper lip, and said in a low voice: "Don't leave one, since you can't get something, you can't leave a trace for Lu Bu."
The staff member had already made a promise, and immediately led thousands of people down the tower.
Liang Xi looked at the departing subordinates, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."
And the state camp.
Xu Huang put on his helmet and armor, held a plate axe, and roared loudly: "Soldiers, we have surrounded Di Dao for more than ten days, and the enemy's morale has fallen to a low point, and now the three armies are listening to my orders and attacking."
"Kill!"
With Xu Huang's order, nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses composed of tens of thousands of Bingzhou troops and 10,000 Hanyang troops began to flock to Didao City from all directions, they either carried cloud ladders, or shields, or pushed siege cones, or armed with swords and guns, and launched a fierce attack on Didao City with crazy shouts.
Lu Bu's majestic body stood on the hill, looking at Xu Huang who was commanding Ruoding in the chaos with awe-struck eyes, and there was a burst of joy in his heart, this time Lu Bu made Xu Huang the main general of the siege, just to see if Xu Huang was as powerful as Cao Cao said, if it was really as Cao Cao said, there would be another general under his account.
In the midst of the chaos, Xu Huang abandoned his horse and walked, rushed to the front of all the sergeants with a board axe, crossed the moat with agility, and personally carried the ladder to climb towards the head of Di Dao City.
Thousands of arrows were fired on the head of the city, the rolling stones and trees kept smashing down, the morale under the city wall was like a rainbow offensive like a tide, Xu Huang took the lead, the big axe in his hand danced and rotated, wrapped the body up and down the body and sealed it impermeably, and the oncoming arrow rain was hit in pieces, and fell to the ground one after another.
The tide-like Bingzhou army was like an ant colony, surging towards Di Dao, with a posture of vowing to devour meat and bone, and Xu Huang flashed and moved towards an anteater in the ant colony, and the locust-like arrows couldn't help him at all.
But after a moment's effort, Xu Huang was the first to rush to the city of Didao, and after putting the ladder on the city wall, Xu Huang strode to the chain that pulled the drawbridge, and after a few axes went down, the chain broke in response, and the drawbridge pulled by the chain also collapsed.
When the drawbridge falls, it means that the siege cone has the hope of hitting the city gate.
Sure enough, escorted by hundreds of shield soldiers, the siege cone quickly drove to the foot of Didao City.
"Knock on the door"
Seeing the siege cone approaching, Xu Huang raised the big axe in his hand and immediately shouted orders.
"Roar!"
With Xu Huang's order, the siege guards began to push the giant tree to hit the city gate.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang Dang"
Under the continuous impact of the Bingzhou army, the east gate of Di Dao City was finally overwhelmed, and with a crisp sound, it opened widely.
Xu Huang was overjoyed, immediately turned over on the horse, and entered Di Dao City, Xu Huang didn't care whether the soldiers behind him followed or not, single-handedly killed the west gate, the two enemy tooth gate generals saw Xu Huang rampage in the chaos of the army, invincible, and roared angrily at the moment, urging the horse to fight Xu Huang.
Xu Huang saw the two enemy generals who were rushing wildly, and immediately slapped the horse and axe, and went up, the three horses were staggered, Xu Huang scolded angrily, and the tooth gate on the left will be slashed down with a thunderous momentum, and the tooth gate general was shocked, and immediately used a gun to meet and resist.
only heard a "snap", and the barrel of the tooth goalkeeper's gun was broken in response, and Xu Huang's big axe was still unspent, and the tooth goalkeeper was split into two pieces with an axe. At the same time, another tooth goalkeeper's big knife rushed to Xu Huang's waist, Xu Huang unhurriedly lay his body flat on the horse's back, and then pulled out the saber on his waist with lightning speed, and cut off the head of the tooth goalkeeper with a knife, only to see a flash of cold light, and a bloody head rolled to the ground.
The Bingzhou army that had just poured in saw that its own general easily killed two enemy generals, and their morale was suddenly shocked, and they all killed the enemy army with the momentum of a tiger descending the mountain.
In the chaos of the army, Xu Huang saw that a partial general of the enemy army was fighting on foot, the spear in his hand was messing around, and he instantly picked up and killed several soldiers on his side, Xu Huang was furious, and immediately rushed to the horse, where the axe arrived, an axe would cut the partial general in half, an enemy lieutenant intercepted and killed, and within a few hours, Xu Huang was cut under the horse with an axe, and after a while, Xu Huang led the army to the West Gate, and hit the retreating Longxi army head-on, Xu Huang shook his spirit, and Pegasus came to fight several enemy generals.
