Chapter 22: The Siege of the Messenger
There is a saying in China, called: "A big boat overturns in a small river ditch."
And now this sentence is just right embodied in Xun Yu's body.
On wit, experience, and vision, Xun Yu is higher than Yuan Shang, and I don't know how many grades it is, but it happened by chance, and today he let this little baby play.
The first is that Yuan Shang rode lightly to attack Xu Du, which made Xun Yu unguardable, the second is that he expected to know Yuan Shao very well, and made a preconceived low-level mistake for a while, the third is that the situation is urgent and he has never thought about it, and the fourth is that Yuan Shao himself Xun Yu has not yet taken it into his eyes, how could he think that Yuan Shao's son would have such courage?
The final result was that Yuan Shang actually used a small bluff to put Xun Yu, a famous man in the world.
This may be the so-called time of the day.
Therefore, Xun Yu is depressed now.
After writing a letter not to let Cao Cao retreat, Xun Yu immediately prepared several sentry horses, so that they would live separately from the four gates, and he himself climbed the city tower to watch, and ordered them to find an opportunity to rush out of the enemy camp and deliver the letter.
The problem is that when he went to the city gate, Xun Yu's heart was half cold.
Thousands of iron horsemen surrounded the city tower tightly, not attacking or retreating, but staying in place, scouts galloping back and forth, closely inspecting every suspicious place in the city of Xudu
The enemy is trying to seal all the information that comes in and out of the city.
After watching it for a long time, he listened to the attendant officer on the side and said hesitantly: "Xun Lingjun, Yuan Jun guards the four gates and sends scouts back and forth, it seems that this letter is not so easy to send out." ”
"If you can't send it, you have to send it!"
Seeing that although the iron cavalry below was fine, there were no siege equipment, Xun Yu already knew in his heart that the Yuan army had no intention of attacking the city, but just wanted to use his mouth to summon Cao Cao back to the army!
This hateful boy of the Yuan family
"Command the four gates, open the city at the same time, and the iron cavalry in the city will cover the messenger out of the city." After thinking about it for a long time, Xun Yu made a decisive decision in his heart.
"No!"
*****************
Under the city of Xudu.
"The third prince of Qiyu, the gate of Xudu is open! And it's all open! ”
Yuan Shang, who had been watching from afar, listened to the report, and the corners of his mouth provoked a subtle smile, and he wanted to fish in troubled waters? Hehe, it's not that easy!
"The herald Zhang Jaw, Gao Ran and all the soldiers under his command must stop all the people and horses who go out of the city, and not let go of one, especially the messenger who is tightly wrapped by the other party, and kill them on the spot at all costs, it doesn't matter if they are killed by knives or arrows, as long as they die thoroughly!"
"No!"
In a short time, the soldiers and horses of the four gates of Xu Du have already swarmed out, although the number is not large, but there is no intention of fighting, all of them have the will to break through.
Chen Bing's Yuan soldiers outside the four gates of Xudu had already prepared, and when they saw that Cao's army was preparing to break through, they immediately swarmed up and blocked their way.
"Kill!"
With the sound of shouting and killing, I saw Gao Ran taking the lead and leading the Yuan army behind him to rush up wildly.
The elite of the Cao army are all stationed in Guandu, and the soldiers guarding Xu Du are all weak, how can they resist the five thousand iron cavalry of the Yuan army?
The Cao army and the iron cavalry of the Yuan army at the city gate on all sides were just a face, and they were defeated by the impact, which was just the opposite of the combat power of the battle of Guandu.
The commander of the Cao army in the south of the city is named Wang Shuo, who is the captain of Xu Du's tun cavalry, and seeing that his soldiers and horses can't even catch Yuan Jun's face, he suddenly panicked, and shouted loudly: "Retreat, retreat, retreat quickly!" ”
Before the words fell, he saw that a Hebei fierce general had already rushed to his face, and a copper long knife fell on his head, heading straight for Wang Shuo's head.
"Go down to Lao Tzu!" With an earth-shattering roar, Wang Shuo just felt that his eyes were red, and before he had time to hum, he was cut off the horse, and his body "fluttered" twice on the ground, and then he didn't move. …,
"Phew!" Gao Ran slashed Wang Shuo with a knife, and then spat at fiercely, with a disdainful face, and said unsatisfied: "I can't catch a knife!" It's really useless! ”
Seeing that the commander was killed by Gao Ran, the remnants of the Cao army had no intention of fighting, and they were not even in the mood to clash with the right talents, so they turned their horses' heads upside down and ran desperately to the city.
How could Yuan Jun have already had a military order, but anyone who went out of the city would be killed, leaving no one alive, since these people had already left the city, they had already signed a letter of surrender on the life and death book of the king of Hades, how could they run?
A massacre with almost no suspense began in many cities, and then came to an end quickly.
The Cao army that broke through the four gates was slaughtered by Zhang Jaw and Gao Lan, and no one was left.
On the city gate, Xun Yu looked at his face was pale, and his fists couldn't help but clench tightly.
Looking at this situation, the letter that the lord does not need to return to the army for reinforcements is afraid that it will not be delivered!
It's a pity that Xu Du doesn't have any elite soldiers available at the moment, otherwise, how can he let the people with open jaws and high views be so rampant here?
"Organize the men and horses, and rush to kill again!" Xun Yu half-squinted his eyes and slowly said to the attendants beside him.
"Still rushing?" The attendant officer was a little entangled when he heard this, the soldiers and horses of the Yuan army were so strong, and the Cao army defending the city was all weak brigades, plus there were no unscrupulous generals in the city, the whole Xu Du couldn't pick out a general who was the opponent of Zhang Jaw and Gao Lan, and then rushed, wouldn't it be in vain to die?
How could Xun Yu have made up his mind, the attendant officer was helpless, but he had to obey the order.
Not to mention that Xun Yu was anxious in Xu Ducheng, just to say that he opened his jaw, and after Gao Ran killed the Cao army that came from the conflict, he immediately came back to Yuan Shang to return to his life.
"The two generals are so skilled, they deserve to be the pillar of my Hebei, and they cleaned up the Cao army so quickly?" Yuan Shang looked at the second general with a smile on his face, his face was full of joy.
"Hey, the third son is too praised, why don't you worry about trivial things!" Gao Ran grinned and said: "The elite of the Cao army is all in Guandu, and there are weak divisions here, if even they can't deal with them, how can the two of us take on the position of general?" ”
Compared with Gao Ran's excitement, Zhang Jaw looked calm: "Third prince, although this battle slaughtered the Cao army, we can't be careless, the last general expects that there will definitely be military horses in the city who want to break through, and they must be cautious." ”
Yuan Shang nodded when he heard this, although Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran were tied, but only from the perspective of this mentality of being prepared for danger in times of peace, Zhang Jaw was faintly higher than Gao Ran.
Gao Ran had a straightforward temperament, and he didn't care, and asked, "Childe, how long do we have to surround in this Xu Capital?" ”
Yuan Shang smiled slightly and stretched out two fingers: "Two days!" As long as we hold on for two days, Cao Jun will begin to pull out, and when the time comes, no letter will pass, and there will be no power to return to the sky! ”
Gao Ran laughed when he heard this, and slammed the war knife in his hand into the ground, and said boldly: "Okay, two days will be two days, the third prince can rest assured, in the next two days, I will sit in shifts with Zhang Jaw, surround the four gates, let him Xu Du Shou want to break the sky, and don't want to let him out of a birdman!" ”
