Text Chapter 641 Soldiers besiege Gaoyuan City
Fu Zhu had the same idea, but cautiously he still persuaded, "Commander, Lord Guo and the Six Legions are not very far away from us, I think it is better to wait for a few hours and wait for them to come and counterattack together." ”
The reason why he said this was because he knew that there was a capable person like Sima Yi in the other party, and he was afraid that this time it was someone else's trick to lure the enemy, if this was the case, if it was not good, he would fall into the trap again, and then there would really be no way to explain to Zhang Chao.
Zhang He also knew the concerns of the frustrated professor, and after thinking about it, he agreed, "Okay, no matter what, you can still wait for a few hours, but I think it is still necessary to let the soldiers be ready to attack at any time, once we wait for Lord Guo and the Sixth Army to arrive, we will cooperate with them to counterattack." ”
"Okay." This time, there was no hindrance in the slightest, and perhaps he thought so too.
The painless attack of several hours passed quickly, and the sound of shouting and killing finally came from under the high ground, and then pieces of black-clothed iron horses appeared in sight, playing the banner of the Six Legions of the Celestial Empire.
"Look, it's the Sixth Legion coming, soldiers, rush." Zhang He had already put on his armor, and what he was waiting for was at this time, seeing the reinforcements, after immediately shouting, hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Fourth Army rushed down from the top of the mountain one by one like fierce tigers.
It was the Sixth Legion that came from afar, and the leader was dressed in an orange cloak, holding an iron halberd in his hand, and straddled a horse with his feet, like a god of death rushing out of hell, it was the commander of the Sixth Legion, Dian Wei.
The original legion commander Xu Rong was killed by Zhang Xiu, and Dian Wei was shortaged, and then he has been leading the Sixth Army to conquer the south, and his footsteps have passed Yongzhou, Xiliang and other places. This time he led the army to be replaced by Ma Chao, just in time for the battle with Cao Cao, so he came to Gunzhou with Guo Jia, and now he has appeared in Qingzhou again.
The reinforcements of the Celestial Empire appeared, and the four legions on the high ground began to cooperate with the counterattack, and the morale rose sharply for a while, and the Wei soldiers who were the enemy were suddenly weak in anger and had a feeling of irresistibility.
Fortunately, the main general Han Meng had already thought about this possibility, so he had already made arrangements, and seeing that the enemy appeared in advance, he retreated to Gaoyuan City with the main force of 150,000 people.
"Where to run!" Seeing so many enemies from afar, when Dian Wei was shouting happily, he suddenly saw that they wanted to leave, where they were willing to follow, and immediately chased after them with 50,000 vanguard cavalry, as if he was afraid that the enemy would run away, his speed was extremely fast, and he was really bitten by him into the rear army of the Wei army.
Most of these Wei troops were made up of new soldiers. Since joining the war, although I have also fought, it has always been a good fight, and it is fought around others, where is the time when I am chased and beaten by others? For this reason, when seeing the defeat of the army, even the reaction of many soldiers was not so timely, and it was reasonable to be caught up by Dian Wei.
The follow-up troops were bitten by the cavalry of the Sixth Legion, and Han Meng, as the main general, suddenly had a sense of hatred for iron and steel, seeing that if he did not make a decision, it would affect the main army, and he had just entered Gaoyuan City, and he gave an order painfully, that is, to close the city gate, and not to care about his own soldiers who could not enter the city after him.
Han Meng's action made a rare nearly 50,000 army blocked outside, and when these soldiers found that the city gate was closed, the pursuers behind them and even the soldiers showed panicked expressions on their faces.
"Hurry up and open the city gate and let Lao Tzu in..."
"You can't see who we are, hurry up and open the gates..."
"Open the gates, or we'll die, hurry."
Under the city gate, countless Wei troops were breathing, looking at the cavalry of the Celestial Empire getting closer and closer behind them, and at this moment they had a feeling of stepping into the realm of death.
On the tower of Gaoyuan City, there were also many soldiers watching the scenes happening outside, and even many of them had a look of struggle in their eyes. Are these people their comrades-in-arms before? But now, seeing that they were abandoned, some of them were soft-hearted, and they also looked at the main general Han Meng, as if hoping that he could help.
It's just that this is destined to be an idea, Han Meng, who was standing there, didn't have the slightest emotion on his face, obviously he had prepared for the worst for everything that happened in front of him, that is, to abandon these people, in order to be able to guard Gaoyuan City for one more day, in order to give the second son more time to escape, he was forced to do all this.
After shouting for a while, the soldiers felt that the city gate could not be opened, so they had to turn back tremblingly, and look all their hopes to the 50,000 cavalry of Dian Wei who had arrived behind them.
"Commander, they were abandoned by the Wei army." When looking at the tens of thousands of Wei troops crowded in the distance, a division commander of the Sixth Army came to Dian Wei to report.
"Oh? Abandoned? This Wei country really has no conscience. But fortunately, I met the kind General Ben and I, so that if the order continues, as long as they surrender, one will die alive, and on the contrary, those who resist will die. Dian Wei sneered, he was lamenting the cold-bloodedness of the commander of the Wei State, but this was not a bad thing for him.
Someone went to deliver the order, and when the Wei army under the city knew that they could have a way to survive if they surrendered, they all threw down their weapons. They are outcasts, and it is impossible to think that they have any loyalty to them.
Nearly 50,000 Wei troops surrendered like this, and even they cooperated to stand in a row, and Dian Wei walked in front of them one by one on horseback like a reviewing general. "Very good, you are all smart people, and you are also very knowledgeable about the times, now you have been abandoned, but fortunately I have met our Celestial Empire army, I now promise you that if you want, you can continue to serve in the army, and if you make military achievements, you will get the same treatment as other soldiers; If you don't want to join the army, you can also get a piece of land that you can live on, but then you need to rely on your hardworking hands to create your own life. Well, with that said, it's up to you to choose where to go. ”
Dian Wei had never found that he still had such eloquence, and he could even say influential words, obviously he himself was very satisfied, and he also believed that once Emperor Zhang Chao heard about this, he would also praise himself in his heart.
The 50,000 captives quickly made a choice, but what Dian Wei didn't expect was that most of them chose to join the army.
Originally, I thought that most of these were recruits who had not undergone any training, and they should be afraid after experiencing life and death, and they should choose to be ordinary people without any danger. I didn't expect so many people to ask to enlist in the army.
Unable to figure it out, Dian Wei saw a Wei soldier who had just signed up for the army walking in front of him, so he stopped and asked, "What's your name?" Why did you choose to join the military? ”
"General Huiyu, my name is Sun Ma, and the reason why I chose to join the army is to fight the Wei army and take revenge. Thinking that we came out of our hometown to join them is equivalent to putting our lives in their hands, but they abandoned us at a critical time, and this breath is really unbearable. As he spoke, the soldier had a look of hatred in his eyes.
"Okay." Hearing this, Dian Wei finally knew the reason, but he was very happy in his heart. Like this, soldiers who have died once, they have infinite hatred for the Wei State in their bones, once such a person joins the army and fights with the Wei army, it must be invincible.
Although they don't have any experience in warfare, and even their individual soldier quality is not good, they do have a lot of enthusiasm, and once they are trained, they will definitely be the army of tigers and wolves.
After Dian Wei figured out this truth, he immediately said to one of his division commanders: "Go, call all the soldiers who have such thoughts to our Sixth Army Corps, and I will train them well when I have time in the future." ”
"Ahh General, they are all new soldiers, I don't know how to fight hard, will they hold us back? The division commander asked with a puzzled expression.
"If you want to go, you can go, we lost soldiers when we were in Xiliang, and now the legion has not been completely replenished, it seems that there are still nearly 30,000 soldiers, so it is left to these people." Dian Wei did not care about waving his hand, he was the commander of the corps, the staffing was not uniform, and he had the right to use the captured prisoners for his own use in wartime, which had long been recorded in the military regulations, even if others knew about it, they couldn't say anything.
Dian Wei gave the order, and the others naturally didn't want to say something, so they compiled these newly captured soldiers into the book.
Under the city, Dian Wei had just solved the problem of nearly 50,000 captive soldiers, and behind him, Guo Jia, Li Ru, the commander of the Sixth Army Corps, Zhang He, the commander of the Fourth Army Corps, and Fu Zhu, the military division, rushed over.
After Dian Wei turned around and saluted the people behind him one by one, he told him what had just happened here, and at the same time he also said that he had received about 30,000 captives.
In this regard, Guo Jia and others really have no objection. Let's not say that Dian Wei's approach is in line with the legal system and military regulations, that is, the Sixth Army has been fighting in Xiliang for so long, and now the army is insufficient, so what about supplementing it, with this person as the emperor's chief of guard, few people dare to take care of his affairs.
After listening to Dian Wei finish the matter, Guo Jia nodded, stepped forward and said: "Okay, now it seems that at least 100,000 people are surrounded in Gaoyuan City, but there should be no Cao Pi here, presumably he must have fled first, but it doesn't matter, I have a plan, they can't get out of Qingzhou." Let's settle the matter at hand now. Captain Zhang, Captain Dian, please seal the four gates of Gaoyuan now, firmly surround this place, and not allow anyone to escape. ”
