Shi Xun rushed all the way back to the Liao Tunnel, and only halfway through, he received a messenger sent by Guo Huai and learned two pieces of news: first, the main force of the Liaodong Army had retreated from the Liao Tunnel City and was about to return to Xiangping; Second, the back road has been opened.

It turned out that Dian Wei broke Liu Xu on the shore near Chrysanthemum Island that day, and at the same time, Wei Xun and others also led the sailors back and attacked the troop carriers in Liaodong from the southwest. Dian Wei didn't look good, our side was extremely tired, and the sharpness was gradually lost, and the enemy was "put to death and reborn", which had to be counterattacked by them, and their own side had to collapse instantly!

So he called his subordinates, stopped the pursuit, and turned back to the fort to garrison. The Liaodong soldiers over there had already rearranged their formation, the same as before, except that the shore was relatively flat, and they were no longer crowded with each other as before, and they could not be used. When a dozen arrows were shot first, then spears, swords and shields entered like a wall. Some of Dian Wei's subordinates who rushed too fast were immediately shot by stray arrows or slashed by spears and bayonets, and immediately fell to the ground.

Although these people were brave and healthy, after all, after a long journey, before they could catch their breath, they were forced to fight for their lives, and by this time their strength had already been exhausted, and they did not even have the strength to turn around and run. Dozens of people lay directly on the ground, allowing the enemy soldiers to kill, and the rest stumbled sideways and scattered, and finally fled into the trench with Dian Wei, only less than a hundred people with his subordinates as the core.

Liu Kai had previously set up a deer fort outside the fort, but he only blocked the road in the east-west direction, and there were no defensive facilities in the coastal direction, and this fort was not very large, and it only allowed dozens of people, only standing wood and soil, and the defense was quite weak. Dian Wei guarded it. In fact, it is not much stronger than the Plains Formation. Plus one into the trench. Seventy percent of the soldiers immediately lay down with all their strength, and they had swords and shields in their hands, and they held fewer bows and arrows, which could not be defended at all!

Dian Weishang shouted and cheered himself, and said that when our ark ships defeated the enemy ships and launched arrows from the sea, the enemy would be scattered. However, those who are exhausted are surrounded by reinforcements. Still powerless to hold the weapon, not to mention the victory at sea is not divided, and it is not urgent, if you wait for the ships of the guard to come to help, I am afraid that the people in the trench will all become powder.

There were several veterans struggling to raise their knives and lined up in the middle of the trench, and beckoned to the two companions who were carrying Dian Wei: "You still have the strength, but you can protect the lord and escape, and after we are together, we will die and the enemy soldiers will not be allowed to hurt the lord without any hair!" Dian Wei said angrily: "If you die, you will die, and you will not be perfect!" "Roll down from the wooden shield. Immediately, the pillar slowly stood up against the wall. The two parts were still to be mixed, and Dian Wei smiled bitterly: "Qing is equal to me following Cao Gong." At this point, I have been weakened and incapable of being the forerunner. We have to die together today, and we have no regrets! Kill me immediately, and not be humiliated by the enemy! ”

The subordinates were all weeping, but seeing the enemy formation getting closer and closer, they had to raise their swords and face Dian Wei. One of them shouted, "I will lead the way!" "With a backhand stab, he slit his throat and died.

Dian Wei was also gloomy, so he stretched out his hand: "Although I am powerless to kill the enemy, am I powerless to kill myself?" And take the knife. One of the tribesmen picked up the knife that his former companion had made himself, handed it to Dian Wei, who held the knife in his hand, put it on his shoulder, and said with a wry smile: "We will die together, and we will fight together in the next life." Just as he was about to slash his neck, he suddenly heard a dumb voice shouting: "Lord, slow down! ”

It was also a pawn ministry, and since he entered the fort, he immediately lay down and never got up again. But at this moment, he told Sù Dianwei: "If the earth shakes, it seems that a hundred horsemen are galloping." Dian Wei was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What direction is it?" The man listened for a moment and replied, "West." Dian Weiyi frowned: "Could it be that you are coming from Youzhou to help?" ”

At this moment, Liu Xu's subordinates had also lined up their formations and approached the fort, and several of the Dian Wei subordinates failed to escape into the fort and were all killed. Although the enemy in front of him was embarrassed to fight again, Liu Xu was also frightened by the opponent's desperate charge, and he didn't dare to hold it up, so he still restrained his subordinates, walked forward slowly, and couldn't fight in chaos - who knew that the enemy didn't have a new force to hide behind?

He was more familiar with the situation of the fort, which had small gates in front of and behind the fort, and no entrances and exits to the southeast coast and the northwest hills. So he slowly moved his formation, turned to the southwest, and wanted to drive a sword and shield soldier to cover himself with a shield, and enter the temptation first. But at this moment, I suddenly felt the earth shake, and then the sound of horses' hooves came from behind. Liu Xu turned his head to look, and saw that the sky was covered with smoke and dust, and I don't know how many knights with armor were galloping on their horses, and they were about to rush to, and in an instant, a round of feather arrows was shot.

In fact, the two sides were still quite far apart, and the range of the bow was relatively close, so it could not hurt people immediately. But Rao was like this, and Liu Xu was also shocked, and said in his heart that since I had forced the enemy soldiers into the fort, I should hurry up and flee for my life, why bother to entangle with them again? Now that the enemy has arrived, how can it be good? Instinctively, he flicked his horse's head, bypassed his own array, and galloped in a northeast direction.

The Liaodong soldiers were waiting to obey the command and march towards the moan, hearing the sound of horses' hooves behind them, they were already frightened, and suddenly saw the main general from the side of the formation, whipping the horse and fleeing, and immediately shouted and collapsed again. Immediately, a cavalryman's earth-shattering roar sounded behind him: "Abandon your weapons and kneel on the ground, but you can't kill!" Seventy percent of them instinctively did so on the spot.

The knights were as swift as the wind, and in an instant they had arrived in front of the moat, some of them scattered to chase the defeated soldiers, and some of them gathered their troops and surrendered them. One of them, the ironclad general, came out in line and rushed to the bottom of the wall to restrain his mount, and the horse neighed, and the man stood up. Hearing this, the general shouted: "Xiahou Yuan, the Eastern Protector of the Expedition, is also, who is in the trench?" ”

Xiahou Yuan was entrusted by Cao Cao to conquer the eastern army, so that Cong Shixun to conquer Liaodong, after receiving the order, he hurriedly went north with a hundred cavalry troops, and when he arrived in Linyu, it happened that Jun also received the news that the transportation road was cut off. It was Jun who complained to Xiahou Yuan, saying that there were less than 1,000 native soldiers in Linyu City, and the equipment was not yet complete, but how to deal with the road ahead? It's better to use General Xiahou's order to temporarily recruit troops.

Xiahou Yuan vetoed Shi Jun's mention and said that when you recruit troops, how long will it take? "It's to make the king and others starving!" He said that I would go with these 100 subordinates and move when the opportunity came.

Xiahou Miaocai Xiang is known for his fast march, and most of the horses he rode under his command were Xianbei good horses obtained by Xun from Wei, and they were purchased cheaply after a long day of friendship, and they were all divine horses. So he didn't stop, all the way east, and when he saw the fort on the road, he gathered all the soldiers in the fort, and then followed up - "The road is extinct, what is the purpose of guarding the fort?" "I was going to go to the last place in the west first, and then gather troops and horses, and go to the outpost, but when I inquired, I said that the boat division had just broken through the waves and went east not long ago—

The six big ships of Wei Xun sailed back from Liaodong, and they first arrived near this fort, and when they saw that the Cao family flag was still floating on the fort, they sent people to land to inquire about the news, and heard that the front fort had been occupied by the enemy, so they set sail from the west.

Xiahou Yuanxin said that if the Ark Division had engaged the enemy ships, the enemy would not be prepared for the land route, and would take the opportunity to rush and kill them, or he might be able to make meritorious contributions. On the one hand, more than 60 people in the garrison abandoned the trench to follow up-as for the foot soldiers who were gathered on the road, and they were still running far behind--At the same time, more than a dozen subordinates were tied to branches behind the horse's tail to raise dust to be suspicious soldiers, and he led his troops to move forward.

In fact, Liu Xu collected the defeated troops, there were still more than 1,000, Dian Wei was trapped in the fort less than 100, and they were unable to fight again, and the cavalry under Xiahou Yuan was only 100 people. It's a pity that Liu Xu saw the smoke and dust behind him, and he didn't know how many cavalry the enemy rushed in, so he was afraid for a while, and he actually abandoned the army and fled.

And at this time, the battle on the sea finally ended. Let's say that Youzhou Fang Erzhou rushed into the enemy formation, and destroyed three ships in a short period of time, and the rest of the Liaodong troop transports were all frightened and fled one after another. But the direction in which they could escape was also limited—the north was the coast, and the three ships to the north ran aground one after another, and from a distance they saw that the shore was still fighting, and the guards and sailors were all hiding in the ships, not daring to show their heads; In the west, three ships from Youzhou fled first, and several ships from Liaodong followed suit, but the owners of the three ships saw this situation, and became bold and bold, and turned the rudder to fight, even if they sank an enemy ship; There were also those who hurriedly turned to the east, but Wei Xun had not yet fled far, and soon came back around the general, and also broke an enemy; Only seven or eight boats that fled to the south survived, and after drifting for several days, they finally found a sea route and escaped back to Liaodong safely.

The war ended, and Xiahou Yuan ordered Dian Wei to rest here, gather the soldiers, search and kill the stragglers, bury the corpses, and open the way, while he led his troops to continue eastward. Before leaving, he summoned Wei Xun over and asked about the cause and effect, but Wei Xun did not dare to tell the truth, so he had to meet the wind at sea and occasionally miss the enemy ship. Xiahou Yuan glared at him and shouted: "For your fault, the route is cut off by the enemy-you can know that those who lose the way in the army should also be punished with death!" "Your sin is like losing your way on a land march and delaying the military period, and you will also be beheaded to correct military justice!

Wei Xun fell to the ground in fright, kowtowed repeatedly, and bled his head so much that he was oozing blood. Xiahou Yuan restrained his anger slightly, and snorted coldly: "For you and other non-sergeants, otherwise I will kill them!" I expect the enemy boat to flee, and I dare not come again, so you can sail to Youzhou at speed, carrying grain and grass to help the army, and I may be able to excuse you in front of the envoy. ”

Transporting grain by sea is, of course, more convenient and faster than by land. It's just that Xun was worried about the Liaodong Navy before, so he didn't dare to do this - now that the Liaodong Navy is newly broken, Xiahou Yuan estimates that he will not dare to come again in a short time, so his ships are just used to transport grain. Besides, the transportation route has been cut off for several days, and I am afraid that there is not much food in the army, and even if we know the danger of shipping, we have to take a risk.

Wei Xun thanked him for his kindness and hurriedly boarded the ship to the west without mentioning it. It is said that Xiahou Yuan led his troops to continue eastward, and soon marched to the next fort that was still controlled by Cao Bing. Sergeant Hozhong greeted the escort and tied up a person: "This is Liu Xu, the chief of Liaodong Pingguo, who cut off my road before, and is also a thief." He was broken by the general, fled for his life, and was captured by my patrol. ”

Xiahou Yuan pursed his lips: "What are you leaving him to do?" Kill the report! (To be continued......)
