Chapter 165: Asking for help
North Sea.
The sky gradually darkened, and it was another day, and the Yellow Turban Army still did not conquer the small Beihai City, the four walls were dyed red, and countless corpses were piled up under the city walls.
Guan Hai stood up, clenched his fists, and glared at the city tower angrily, he never thought that with his 50,000 army, he had attacked for two days and one night in a row, and he actually did not capture Beihai City.
"It's all useless rubbish! It's all a group rice bucket! Guan Hai scolded angrily.
Cheng Jun accompanied the smiling face and said: "Qu Shuai, let's withdraw first, the brothers have been attacking for so long, they are all tired, and if they continue to fight, they will only kill and injure more people, and the city will still not be able to be defeated." ”
"Do you just give up?" Guan Hai turned his head to look at Cheng Jun, with a hint of poison in his eyes.
Cheng Jun was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "No, Qu Shuai, according to the information sent back by the rear spies, Zhu Ling's vanguard army has stopped advancing, they are not approaching us, according to the distance, it is about half a day's journey from us, that is, they don't want to fight us, in this case, we can rest first, wait until dawn tomorrow, and start the siege." ”
Guan Hai was slightly surprised, "Did they stop advancing?" What about Yuan Tan's back-road army? ”
Cheng Jun said: "It seems that he is still in Gaotang and has not set off." ”
"Ha Luha, it seems that they must be afraid of our large number of people and do not want to compete with us, so they will not move, so it is okay to let the brothers withdraw and rest for the night, early tomorrow morning. The siege is unfolding. Guan Hai smirked.
"No!" The army is ordered. Go to the front. Ordered the horn to be sounded for the withdrawal of troops.
"Woo——!"
"Woo——!"
The Yellow Turban Army, which was powerless to attack the city, heard the sound of the horn and thought that there was a problem with the ears, but Guan Hai gave a death order, not to break through the North Sea, not to withdraw the army, what happened now?
Tai Shi Ci wiped the blood on his face and looked at the bottom of the body in surprise.
"Qu Shuai has an order, the whole army withdraws!" Several groups of fast horses galloped over. Shouted loudly.
"It's really a withdrawal, thank goodness!"
"Brothers, go back quickly, I'm tired, I'm going back to sleep in the dark!"
The Yellow Turban Army, which was like a sea of people, retreated like a surging tide, and in a moment's effort, only a withered Beihai City was left, and a dead body without an owner.
"Whew!"
The soldiers who had been fighting for two days and one night suddenly shouted and hugged each other excitedly, they were too tired. If you say, the Yellow Turban Army is attacking for an hour or two. They're definitely going to collapse.
After the excitement, many soldiers fell to the ground, ignoring the flesh on the ground, or empty stomachs, and fell asleep, they were too tired.
Tai Shi Ci calmly glanced around, ordered some soldiers with better physical strength to deal with some dead bodies on the city tower and strengthen the damaged city tower, he himself walked down the city tower in a bloody robe and ran to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Ziyi, I heard that Guan Hai has withdrawn his troops." Kong Rong sat on the seat sickly, and saw Tai Shici showing a smile.
Tai Shi Ci nodded, "Although they have withdrawn, they will still call tomorrow, and we just have one more night of rest." ”
"I don't know if Ziyi has any clever plan to retreat from the enemy." Kong Rong asked expectantly.
Tai Shi Ci smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Our brothers are less than 5,000 people left, most of them are already tired, or they are seriously injured, and they can't fight them back at all, we can only say that they retreated voluntarily, but they retreated, Yuan Tan's army is coming again, even if we can repel Guan Hai, can we stop Yuan Tan?" ”
This sentence came to Kong Rong's heart, what he was most worried about was not the Yellow Turban army in front of him, but Yuan Tan, who was targeting him in the rear, even if he repelled Guan Hai, but Yuan Tan's army was still there, and the crisis in his Beihai could not be resolved.
"Could it be that tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Beihai were destroyed in this way?" Kong Rong looked at Tai Shici unwillingly.
Tai Shi Ci bowed his head and was silent, with these forces in Beihai, he was not sure to repel Guan Hai and deter Yuan Tan at all, what he was doing now was to do all his best to resolve the current predicament in Beihai, as for whether he could succeed, it would depend on the will of God.
A trace of loss flashed in Kong Rong's eyes, and after a while, Kong Rong said faintly: "Perhaps, there is someone who can solve the current crisis in Beihai." ”
"Who is it?" Tai Shi Ci asked.
Kong Rong took out a letter from a pile of documents on the case, handed it to Tai Shici, and said: "Not long ago, he secretly sent me a letter, wanting to unite with me and deal with Cao Cao, but unfortunately, before I could figure it out, Cao Ren, Guan Hai, and Yuan Tan were killed one after another. ”
Tai Shici took the letter in surprise and read it carefully, "If he really sent troops, then the crisis in Beihai will definitely be resolved, but isn't it rumored outside that he is attacking in Xiliang?" ”
Kong Rong waved his hand, "He is surprisingly particular about using troops, and Cao Cao defeated Xuzhou and became a hegemon in the hinterland of the Central Plains, he definitely doesn't want to see it, so it is still possible to unite some people to send troops and cause trouble to Cao Cao." ”
"So where would he be now?" Tai Shi Ci asked.
Kong Rong stroked his beard, squinted his eyes and said: "Connecting into a line to deal with Cao Cao, then an indispensable link is Chen Liu, since he sent troops, he will definitely run to Chen Liu, join forces with Zhang Miao, and attack Yanzhou." ”
Tai Shi Ci said: "But will he be willing to help us?" You must know that Lu Dao is facing so many enemies now, and he has to deal with Cao Cao, how can he draw troops to help us. ”
Kong Rong sighed, "At this point, I can only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and if I beg him, there should still be some hope, but." ”
"Just what? The Minister of State said it clearly. Tai Shi Ci said.
Kong Rong pointed outside and said, "There are 50,000 Yellow Turban thieves, surround my Beihai group, it is too difficult to break through to contact him, our scouts are too poor to get out at all." ”
Tai Shi Ci thought about it, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, Tai Shi Ci opened his eyes and said: "Prime Minister of State, if not." I rode out of the city with a dozen. Go to Chenliu, Yanzhou and other places to listen to the news. As soon as I knew the traces of his army, I went to him and begged him to send troops to save Beihai. ”
Kong Rong's eyes lit up, with Tai Shici's ability, it was impossible to kill and retreat the Yellow Turban Army, but it was more than enough to break through.
"But the city defense of Beihai can't do without you, if you are not there, the Yellow Turban Army will only need half a day's work to break through Beihai." Kong Rong shook his head.
Tai Shi Ci said: "If you can't break through." Trapped here, it's still a dead end! I also asked the Minister of State and my brothers to say that I, Tai Shici, will definitely move to the rescuers, give me a day and a night, and I will definitely be able to return with the rescuers. ”
Kong Rong sighed and said, "So far, it can only be like this, but I'm worried that you are not there, and this city will not be able to hold it." ”
Tai Shi Ci said: "So the minister of state should tell the soldiers that I, Tai Shi Ci, will definitely be able to move to the rescue." After a day and a night, I'll be back! ”
Kong Rong heard this. His body was shocked, he didn't suspect that Tai Shi Ci was going to escape, Tai Shi Ci worked hard to help him, and this courage alone was admirable.
Tai Shi Ci's words can greatly boost the morale of the soldiers, and it is also possible to hold it for a day and a night in combination with Tai Shi Ci's city defense array, provided that the morale of the soldiers cannot be hit.
"Ziyi, then everything is up to you." Kong Rong raised his wine glass and looked at Tai Shici.
"I will live up to the high expectations of the Minister of State and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Beihai, and return with reinforcements, even if the reinforcements do not come, my Tai Shici will come back and fight side by side with my brothers." Tai Shi Ci said loudly.
Kong Rong nodded with satisfaction.
Don't care about resting, Tai Shi Ci immediately selected fifteen soldiers with good physical strength in the army, with sixteen good horses, under the gaze of Kong Rong and others, the city gate opened, and Tai Shi Ci and his party went out of the city.
"Prime Minister, in one day's time, I will return!" Tai Shi Ci turned around and hugged his fist towards Kong Rong.
"Ziyi, take care!" Kong Rong returned the gift.
"Drive!" Tai Shici and the others gradually disappeared into the night.
Guan Hai surrounded the Beihai regiments, and set up ambushes and scouts everywhere to prevent Kong Rong and others from escaping or contacting the outside world, but after two consecutive days and one night of fierce fighting, the Yellow Turban soldiers were very tired, and the scouts and patrols still had the strength to patrol, and besides, they were not professional soldiers.
Tai Shi Ci and his party rushed out, the Yellow Turban soldiers heard the sound of "da-da" horses' hooves, some leaned against a secluded place and were reluctant to move, and a few soldiers rushed over, wanting to block Tai Shi Ci from rushing out.
"Kill!" Tai Shi Ci roared angrily.
First, the number of Yellow Turban soldiers who rushed out to block was small, second, they were very tired, and third, Tai Shici and others were on horseback, and the Yellow Turban soldiers were all on two legs, how could they block the impact of Tai Shici and others.
After a bloody battle, Tai Shici and others escaped smoothly and went straight to the direction of Yanzhou.
This matter soon spread to Guan Hai's handsome tent, Guan Hai was sleeping soundly, and when he heard the report, it was said that someone had broken through, and he was so angry that Guan Hai shouted wow.
"Kill all the scout chiefs and patrol chiefs who are patrolling tonight to show my example!" Guan Hai said angrily.
"No!" The general who came to report walked out of the tent tremblingly.
"Tomorrow, we must capture Beihai!" Guan Hai gritted his teeth and looked at Beihai City, his eyes breathing fire.
As soon as the picture turned, dozens of banners with the word "Yuan" roared in the wind.
The staggered camp tents were arranged, and the murderous soldiers patrolled everywhere, and the Yuan army commander was in the tent.
Yuan Tan sat proudly on the throne, this time the dream of annexing Beihai and winning Qingzhou will finally come true, only by truly annexing the entire territory of Qingzhou, will he be the governor of the capital, and his weight in Yuan Shao's heart will be greatly increased.
Xin Ping sat on the side seat and said with a smile: "Childe, Zhu Ling's vanguard army has stopped advancing, we are now holding our troops and letting the Yellow Turban Thief and Kong Rong fight to the death, and at that time, we can take Beihai without much effort." ”
"Mr. is really my son, the strategy I made, there was not a single mistake, this time, I took Beihai at the lowest cost, eliminated Kong Rong and the Yellow Turban Thief, my father will definitely not underestimate me again." Yuan Tan said.
Xin Ping listened to Yuan Tan's words, and was very useful, and said with a smile: "Childe don't worry too much, you are the eldest son of Yuan Gong, and in the future, Yuan Gong's foundation will inevitably be inherited by you, Gongzi." ”
Yuan Tan smiled bitterly, "I hope so." (To be continued......)
