At night, the red firelight illuminated the night sky of Guandu.

A raging fire enveloped the Guandu camp. So far, the fire has been burning for half an hour, but instead of abating, the fire has become more and more vigorous, and the flames have risen higher and higher, so that dozens of miles are illuminated by the light of the fire. The flames rose, the smoke rolled, and the flames endured.

Half an hour ago, when Shi Ah escorted Ren Jun and Ren Xian's father and son to Li Li, the knife fell in his hand, and as the two heads fell on the gate, the battle of the camp was over. After the Xiliang army withdrew from the camp, the east and west gates were completely blocked, and in the deafening roaring explosion, the fire engulfed the Guandu camp.

A terrible scream danced with the raging sea of fire. In fact, at the moment when the Xiliang army withdrew from the camp, the Guandu defenders had not yet been completely annihilated, but this was no longer important. The victory and defeat have been divided, their fate has been sealed, and being buried in the sea of fire is their only destination.

On the bank of the Yellow River, Li Li stood for a long time holding his deceased red face, refusing to board the boat. Until the entire Guandu camp was engulfed in flames, when the east was exposed, Li Zhi and Shi A forcibly put Li Li and Zhen Mi in his arms on the canopy boat, and then commanded the army to retreat in two ways, 8,000 iron cavalry led by Huang Zhong to withdraw from Luoyang by land, and the remaining 7,000 foot soldiers withdrew by boat and went upstream. Go to Luoyang by water.

When carrying Li Li on the boat, Li Zhi deliberately put Zhen Mi's body on another boat. and ordered the ship to go first, thus separating Li Li and Zhen Mi. lest he indulge in it and cannot extricate himself.

In the cabin, Li Li lay on his back on the soft couch with a sluggish expression, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling of the cabin, motionless and silent. At this time, there was no joy, no anger, no sorrow or pain on his face, and there was no trace of emotion fluctuations, as if his soul was out of his body, lying still on his back, like a pool of stagnant water, without waves. There are no ripples.

Time does not depend on human will, it passes quietly. A ray of morning glow pierced the sky, and a new day began.

An hour later, the fleet sailed to the north shore, far away from Cao's army stationed in Zhongmou County, and detoured to the waters under the jurisdiction of Hanoi County, but did not stop, and still traced the river.

"Your Majesty, please." Li Zhi walked lightly to the couch and said respectfully.

Li Li, who was lying on the couch, rolled his eyes. Then he sat up slowly, waved his hand and motioned for Li Zhi to withdraw from breakfast, and said in a low voice: "Wine." ”

Li Zhi's voice changed when he heard this, and he tried to dissuade him, but he didn't say it after all. Then he beckoned his soldiers to bring a jar of wine, bowed down and handed it to Li Li.

"Gududu" drank wildly, and Li Zhi's eyelids jumped. Several times I wanted to step forward to stop it, but I was afraid of angering Li Li. had to stand motionless in front of the couch, watching Li Li pour a jar of wine in one go.

"How's the battle going?" Li Li who put down the wine jar. Shen Sheng asked. Without the drunkenness and drunkenness that Li Zhi imagined, Li Li became more and more sober, and instead of sleeping with his head up, he asked about the battle of the camp robbery that had just ended. This made Li Zhi very surprised, and he vaguely felt that Li Li had come out of his grief, but this was just his guess, and he couldn't be sure.

"Your Majesty, in this battle, our army killed more than 4,000 people, and the enemy general Ren Jun had 10,000 soldiers and horses, including Ren Jun, and the whole army was annihilated. In addition, more than 100,000 stones, grains, grass, and ordnance and baggage in the Guandu camp were all burned, and the entire camp was reduced to ashes. It's just that?????? According to General Huang Zhong's report, Cao Xiu, who was stationed at the West Gate, led more than 100 personal soldiers to rush out of the West Gate, narrowly escaped the pursuit of General Huang Zhong, and finally fled to Zhongmu City with more than a dozen personal soldiers. ”

Listening to Li Zhi's report, Li Li stared at the rolling river through the lattice window with an expressionless face, and after Li Zhi finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand and said softly: "What about Kong Ming's second tip?" Show me. ”

Li Zhi couldn't keep up with Li Li's train of thought, but his movements were not slow, and he immediately took out the bag from his belt and offered it with both hands. Li Li didn't say anything, Gu Zi opened the bag and looked through it, but saw that there were only a few words on the cloth: "Cross the river in distress, and if you succeed, you will attack in four ways." ”

At a glance, Li Li casually handed over the cloth strip to Li Zhi, and then got up to stay, but when he was about to get up, his body shook, if it wasn't for Li Zhi's quick eyes to support him in time, he almost fell head-on. Obviously, the jar of wine that Li Li had just drunk worked. How could he be too sad at the moment, his heart was concerned, he was obviously drunk and lightheaded, but he didn't have a trace of sleepiness, and he still managed to handle military affairs.

Staggered out of the cabin, Li Li sat down on the deck, and ordered in a deep voice: "Immediately send the order, order Youzhou Xu Rong and Tian Yu to send troops to the Bohai Sea, Xu Tu slowly advances, and attack Jizhou; ordered Zhang Yan and Xu Huang of Montenegro to lead the troops to attack, waiting for an opportunity to attack and harass, and attack the two counties of Changshan and Zhongshan; ordered Hanoi Guo Jia to send troops to Wei County to coerce Yecheng; Ordered Xuzhou Guo Yan to lead 50,000 troops to the east and attack Taishan County in Yanzhou, Chen Dengwei joined the army and went out with the army. This is what Kong Ming called a four-way attack. ”

After a pause, Li Li continued: "Order Zhou Yu to lead the army north, order him to serve as the governor of the capital, control the soldiers and horses of Sili, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou, intercept and kill Cao Ren's army, and be sure to annihilate it in one fell swoop; After exterminating Cao Ren, he immediately led his army eastward and marched side by side with Guo Yan's army to capture Yanzhou. Ordered Li Ru of Luoyang to be promoted to Lu Yi as the deputy governor of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and led the Flying Bear Battalion, the Tiger Camp and the Xiandeng Battalion to the south of Yingchuan, intercepted and killed Cao Ren, and then went south through Runan, bypassing Nanyang County and directly inserting into Xinye. instructed Lu Yi to keep in touch with Kong Ming along the way, and the soldiers and horses of the two roads worked together to fight together, striving to annihilate the Northern Expedition led by Pang Tong in one fell swoop.

At the same time, Lü Meng, who ordered the Tun army to lead the Jiangzhou Battalion Water Division to the south of the Yangtze River, escorted the Eagle Guard led by Yan Xing and Hu Che'er to the southwest mountain, and obeyed Yan Xing's dispatch in a qiē operation. Ordered Gan Ning to lead the Jinfan Battalion and the Guangling Naval Division to wait for an opportunity to cross the river to deter Jiangdong, and make sure that they did not dare to cross the river to support Liu Biao. That's it, I'm tired, and if there is nothing important, there is no need to report it. After giving so many military orders in one breath, I saw Li Li grab the door of the cabin and stand up, wave his hand to retreat Li Zhi, and close the door. Fell into a deep sleep on the couch.

***********************

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and the beacon-filled Yangzhai City was already devastated. The four gate towers are dilapidated and crumbling. However, the walls of the city were badly damaged. There were seven emergencies in two days, but the city did not fall, and it was still in the hands of the defenders led by Sima Yi, Chang Lin, Ji Ling, Guan Yu and others.

After two days and two nights of fierce fighting, Cao Ren's army, which was attacking the city on all sides, finally stopped rushing and fighting, and successively withdrew 40,000 soldiers who attacked the west gate and the south gate, concentrated their forces, and mainly attacked the north gate and the east gate.

As Cao Ren's army shrank its strength, the defensive pressure of Yang Zhai City was suddenly greatly reduced, and the defensive troops and horses were adjusted in a targeted manner. The young men mobilized by Chang Lin were transferred to the west gate and the south gate to garrison, and the few remaining defenders who were replaced were gathered together and sent to the east gate and north gate to resist the continuous siege of Cao's army.

After a series of fierce battles, most of the original 25,000 defenders in Yangzhai City had suffered casualties, and now only 9,000 soldiers were left to defend the city. Moreover, among the defenders of less than 10,000 people, about forty percent of the soldiers were wounded and defended the city, and there were less than 5,000 able-bodied soldiers who were really capable of fighting a battle. In just two days, the defenders who occupied the advantage of the city paid as many as 20,000 casualties, and the battle of Yangzhai City was fierce. This is evident from this.

The defending side still suffered heavy casualties, and the loss of the besieging side's troops can be imagined. Not to mention that Cao Ren's army, which attacked the north gate, east gate and south gate at the same time, paid twice as many casualties as the defenders, and the Xu Shu army that attacked the west gate alone suffered heavy casualties. Suffer heavy casualties in battle.

Two days ago, at the third watch, Wei Yan led the army to break open the west gate and rushed into the city gate like a tiger descending from a mountain. As a result, he was shot and killed by 500 crossbowmen who were ambushed in the caves on both sides of the road. When the arrows in the corridor were fired in unison, the four crossbow arrows went straight to Wei Yan and shot at the moment. Wei Yan, who had never been in his eyes but was bold and careful, heard that his voice changed, and he did not hesitate to stretch out his arms and pull the two personal soldiers who were following him in front of him. Using the body of his own soldier as a meat shield, he blocked four crossbow arrows and dozens of random arrows for him. At the same time as the crossbow arrow pierced the body of his own soldier, Wei Yan leaned over, jumped off the horse, plunged into the pile of dead people covered with the road, grabbed two corpses and put them on his body as cover, thus narrowly avoiding the catastrophe and saving his life.

Even so, Wei Yan still did not completely dodge the shooting of the random arrows, and was shot with two arrows in his left arm and one in his right leg. Fortunately, the arrows that hit him were all ordinary arrows, and they were protected by armor, and the wounds were not deep, except for the inconvenience of movement, the injuries were not serious. It is worth mentioning that when he was dodging the shot with a bow and crossbow, he only cared about his life, and threw away his war knife without thinking about it, he didn't care about his own face at all, and he didn't have the style of a general, and he really lost face, which surprised the Jingzhou soldiers who saw this scene and felt deeply disdainful.

But no matter what, Wei Yan relied on his adaptability far beyond ordinary people, and with the help of the cover of the corpse, he finally survived. However, his own soldiers and the nearly 1,000 soldiers who followed him into the Yongdao did not have such good skills as him, and they were killed by arrows one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the corridor was full of corpses again, blocking the city gate again, so that the army of Xu Shu, who then led the army, could not enter the door, so that they could only move away from the corpses and continue to lead the army to storm the corridor. After being attacked and killed by hidden arrows twice, Xu Shu and Wei Yan, who had escaped by chance, learned a lesson, and when they attacked Yongdao again, they ordered the giant shield soldiers to step forward, and the pikemen followed closely behind, directly attacking Yongdao. In this way, the crossbowmen hidden in the caves on both sides of the tunnel completely lost the advantage of ambush, the arrow holes in the wall were blocked, and the spears were inserted into the crossbow arrow holes, so that the crossbowmen could no longer have the courage to release arrows at will, and paid a lot of casualties.

Lei Bo, who was ordered to garrison the West Gate, knew that his men could not stop the Jingzhou army from entering the city, but he still led more than 300 defenders under his tent to rush downstairs and fight to the death with Xu Shu's army. Even if it is a mantis arm blocking the car, it will never flinch, this is the blood and perseverance of a man.
