Chapter 651: All Pit Killing
The Xuzhou army and the Cao army fought fiercely in the area of Mount Tai, and in Luoyang City, Liu Wei also urgently discussed the battle in Xuzhou with Xu Shu and Pang Tongzheng.
"Cao's army did not hold Zhushui, obviously to lead the Xuzhou army to Youlai Mountain, and then annihilate it in the valley." Pointing to the map in front of Liu Bian, Pang Tong looked up at Liu Biao and said to him: "Within ten days, Mi Zhu will be defeated!" ”
Also looking at the map, Xu Shu also continued: "The purpose of Cao's army is to lead the Xuzhou army to rescue, Mi Zhu is in a hurry, 20,000 Xuzhou troops, and the sexual command is worrying." ”
Listening to the analysis of the two, Liu Wei nodded and asked them, "Have the weapons and armor been sent to Lu Bu's army?" ”
"It's been delivered!" Liu Wei asked about the armor, Pang Tong nodded, and said to him: "Lu Bu's army only needs to defend Xiaopei to trap the camp's combat strength, although Cao's army has many horses, it is not easy to attack the city, Guo Jiaying will not lead the army to attack the city." ”
In Xiaopei City, hundreds of miles away from Luoyang, Lu Bu stood on the side of the street in the city with his hands on his waist, watching the soldiers push carts full of weapons and armor past in front of him, and said to Chen Gong who was standing next to him: "What Gongtai said is really not bad, the king of Luoyang really sent so many weapons and armor. ”
"The Cao army defeated the Xuzhou army, and it would only advance to Xuzhou, but it was impossible to turn to attack Xiaopei." Chen Gong smiled slightly, and said to Lu Bu: "When our army is ready, Wen Houke will lead the army to Xuzhou, and only call it Liu Bei to defend the city." In order to meet the Cao army, Liu Bei must personally conquer, and then Wen Hou will attack from behind, and he will be able to capture Xuzhou in one fell swoop! ”
"Good!" Pressing the hilt of the sword on his waist, Lu Bu nodded, stretched out his hand and patted Chen Gong lightly on the back of the back, and said to him: "There is a public platform, why not worry about Xuzhou?" ”
At this time, the Xuzhou army, under the leadership of Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, chased Li Dian all the way and came to Youlai Mountain.
Although the mountains are not very steep, the road is very difficult.
Li Dian, who led them here, had already led his troops and didn't know where to run.
While chasing along the mountain road, Mi Fang said to Mi Zhu: "The mountains and rivers here are high and the water is evil, why don't our troops turn back to the mountains and make a plan?" ”
Looking up at the peaks on both sides, Mi Zhu's brows furrowed, but he didn't restrain the war horse, but said to Mi Fang: "Seeing that you are about to go out of the mountains, if you turn back at this time, how many wronged roads will you take......
"General, look!" Just as Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were talking, a personal soldier who was following Mi Zhu raised his hand and pointed to the front and shouted.
At this time, the army had already bypassed a mountain beam, and it was already possible to see the scenery beyond the mountain from a distance.
What appeared in Mi Zhu and Mi Fang's field of vision was Cao Jun, who couldn't see the end at all.
Cao's army had already made arrangements here, and when they came, they would meet the attack.
"Not good!" Seeing Cao Jun, Mi Zhu shouted in a low voice, and immediately ordered the army behind him: "Retreat slowly, don't go out of the valley to fight a decisive battle with Cao Jun." ”
Waiting outside the valley was the main force of the Cao army led by Xiahou Yuan.
Seeing the Xuzhou army appear in the valley from a distance, Xiahou Yuan smiled coldly, raised the big knife in his hand, pointed forward, and shouted: "Infantry charge!" ”
In mountain warfare, the cavalry could not be used at all, and even the archers, the arrows they shot would be greatly reduced due to the influence of trees and hillsides.
Xiahou Yuan gave an order, and the tidal wave of Cao army infantry, armed with shields and short spears, shouted and poured towards the valley.
Seeing that the Cao army had launched an attack, Mi Zhu drew his long sword and shouted to the Xuzhou army in the valley: "Soldiers, meet the enemy!" ”
As soon as Mi Zhu's shout fell, before the Xuzhou army had time to line up in formation, a gong sounded on both sides of the valley, and countless Cao Cao troops lurking on the mountain jumped out, one by one with bows and arrows, aiming at the Xuzhou army in the valley.
"Shoot the arrows!" After jumping out, Le Jin, who led this Cao army, did not make any delay, waved his hand, and immediately gave the order to release the arrow.
Countless arrows flew like raindrops from the side towards the Xuzhou army in the valley, and the unsuspecting Xuzhou army was immediately shot over under the attack of the arrows.
Cao Jun on the hillside set up feather arrows on the bowstring and kept casting them down the mountain.
At first, the arrows fired by the Cao army still flew out in pieces, but later, due to the different speeds of the soldiers' arrows, the feather arrows were endless, and it was really like a rain curtain formed by arrows falling on the slopes on both sides.
Countless Xuzhou troops fell in the arrows, and more Xuzhou troops blocked their shields at their sides, covering the arrows flying from the side.
"Kill!" The Cao army, which had already rushed into the valley, let out a shout in unison and pounced on the Xuzhou army.
"Meet the enemy!" There was an ambush of the Cao army on both sides, and Mi Zhu already knew the plan of the Cao army, but at this time, it was impossible for him to immediately order the army to retreat.
At present, the morale of the army is at its lowest, if it retreats, not only will it not be able to withdraw from the valley, but the chaotic army will be chased and killed by Cao's army like a group of pigs.
The heavy infantry of the Cao army poured into the valley and pounced on the Xuzhou army.
The Xuzhou army, although it was strong enough to support its morale to meet the enemy, the soldiers had already found that the enemy army had already been ambushed, and their courage was half cowardly at first.
Cao Jun, who rushed into the valley, held a shield in his hand, and slammed into the Xuzhou army.
The Xuzhou army at the front also held a shield and withstood the strong impact of Cao's army.
Groups of people fell to the ground in the collision, and some were unlucky enough to be trampled on by other people's feet before they could get up.
There were also some people who, before they even had time to get up, were pierced in the spine by the short spears of the enemy.
Of course, not all of the people who fell to the ground did not get up, and some of them, after falling, turned over and jumped up, yelling, and fighting back against the enemy.
The short spear flew over, shouting and killing, and in the valley, which was not wide, blood splashed for a while, and the stumps flew in all directions.
The two sides were crowded together, both desperately rushing forward, just when the heavy infantry of the Cao army was pushing the Xuzhou army, while slowly advancing, and the Xuzhou army were slashing each other, the Cao army, which had been ambushed earlier on the hillside, also dropped the longbow, lifted the shield and short spear, and rushed down with a shout.
The Cao army, which rushed down from the hillside, did not stop the Xuzhou army, but rushed straight to the rear of the Xuzhou army, obviously to completely annihilate this army in this mountain nest.
The Cao army, which rushed down from the hillside, hit the tail of the Xuzhou army fiercely.
The Xuzhou army, which was already ready for defense, struggled to resist the onslaught of the Cao army.
With a spear in hand, Le Jin rushed towards the Xuzhou army.
The spear in Le Jin's hand flipped and danced, and every time he swung a shot, a Xuzhou soldier would be knocked to the ground by him.
Cao Jun, who followed him, saw the bravery of his killing, and also shouted, and stepped forward.
The number of Cao troops killed from behind the Xuzhou army was not very large, but they took the opportunity by surprise, and the Cao army that charged head-on caused a strong psychological pressure on the Xuzhou army when it advanced, and it was precisely because of this that under the hard work of the Cao army at both ends, the defense line of the Xuzhou army was like a spring, and it was tightly pressed.
"Get out of the way!" was squeezed in the middle of the army, and seeing that the battle situation had no chance to turn around, Mi Zhu waved the long sword in his hand and shouted.
Just as he let out this shout, an arrow flew from a distance, and with a "poof" it pierced his shoulder.
With an arrow in the shoulder blade, Mi Zhu's body was shocked, and he was about to turn over and fall off the horse. Mi Fang on the side hurriedly grabbed him.
Grabbed Mi Zhu to avoid the bad luck of him falling off the war horse, and Mi Fang kicked Mi Zhu fiercely in the back crotch of the war horse.
The war horse was in pain, neighed, and rushed towards the rear army with Mi Zhu.
Immediately following behind Mi Zhu, he quickly retreated backwards, and Mi Fang shouted loudly while retreating: "The enemy army in the rear is weak, follow General Ben to kill him." ”
Under the fierce attack of the Cao army, the Xuzhou army, which had long lost much morale, heard Mi Fang's shout, and immediately turned around and pressed towards the Cao army led by Le Jin.
The number of people is already small, although the morale of the Xuzhou army is on the verge of collapse, but one or two hundred thousand people charge at the same time, but it is not something that the thousands of men and horses under the command of Le Jin can easily bear.
It's just that in an instant, the Cao army led by Le Jin was torn out by the Xuzhou army, Mi Fang protected Mi Zhu, and rushed out of the battlefield quickly, regardless of the Xuzhou army soldiers behind him, under the cover of more than a dozen cavalry, rushed straight in the direction they entered the valley.
The main general has withdrawn, and the morale of the Xuzhou army has suddenly fallen to the bottom.
Many Xuzhou troops who were approached by Cao's army dropped their weapons one after another, and knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands; There were also some Xuzhou troops who rushed out of the encirclement, jumped up the hillside, and disappeared into the dense mountain forest.
The battle lasted less than an hour, and Cao's army was completely victorious.
Riding a war horse, walking in the valley full of corpses of the two armies, looking at the corpses everywhere and those Xuzhou soldiers who were kneeling on the ground with their heads held and had been controlled by the Cao army, Xiahou Yuan raised the big knife, pointed at the kneeling Xuzhou army with the tip of the knife, and said to the soldiers behind him: "Dig a pit and bury all these people alive!" ”
"No!" The soldiers responded and arranged for the soldiers of the Cao army to dig a pit.
The Xuzhou army soldiers who heard Xiahou Yuan's words suddenly let out a terrible howl, and many people cried, begging Xiahou Yuan not to kill them.
But where would Xiahou Yuan listen to their explanation, shook the reins, and rode forward.
Lejin, who had previously blocked the rear road of the Xuzhou army, heard that Xiahou Yuan ordered all the soldiers to be buried alive, and hurriedly looked for Xiahou Yuan everywhere.
As soon as he found Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin strode up, arched his fists towards Xiahou Yuan who was riding a war horse, looked up at him and said: "General Xiahou, those soldiers have already put down their weapons, if they are all killed......"
"General Le!" Before Le Jin finished speaking, Xiahou Yuan frowned and said to him, "Could it be that you have forgotten Father Cao?" ”
