Chapter 163: Breaking Cao Ren and Accepting Li Jin
This night, the Chang'an army, who had the backbone of the main heart, slept very peacefully.
In the early morning of the next day, the three armies had breakfast, Huang Xuzi led the troops to beat the horses and rushed out, five thousand archers under the blessing of his powerful bow god characteristics, the attack range was extremely far and the strength was long, attacking to Hangu Pass, not equal to the ban on the order to attack, countless arrows have been shot at Hangu Pass in batches, but the distance is just right, so that Yu Ban does not even have the ability to fight back.
Since Lin Li had made up his mind to finish the battle, the arrows and materials were naturally to be used, and he saw that the arrows continued, and in only an hour's work, the wall was like a hedgehog, and the arrows accumulated more and more, spreading rapidly like the vines of the Black Forest, as if they were going to drown the city wall with arrows.
Cao Ren was not in Guanzhong, and his own fortified city characteristics (the durability of the city and the loss of soldiers were halved) naturally no longer took effect, and the previously hard as iron city walls became much more fragile, and under the blows of arrows wave after wave, the durability of Hangu Pass slowly decreased, and Cao Jun's casualties increased.
Closed, Yu Ban held a big shield against the rain of arrows and forcibly probed for a while, seeing that there was no other movement in the Chang'an Army Village, and only thousands of archers were bare under the gate, and they were disturbed by the rain of arrows, so they couldn't help but relax and said with a smile:
"Although the archers of the thief army are advantageous, they want to capture Hangu Pass by such means, which is really like a fool's dream. In the end, it is the village and the wilderness, not to mention how many arrows he has to squander wantonly, even if our army relaxes and kills them together, it is not something that he can resist with thousands of people. ”
Yu Ban suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed a flying arrow, and asked casually in the eyes of worship left and right,
"How's General Xiahou recovering?"
The general replied:
"General Hui, with the care of Doctor Hua, General Xiahou recovered very quickly, and now he has woken up, and the last general has sent someone to ask, at most he will recuperate for another three or five days, and he will be able to fight again."
Yu Ban was overjoyed when he heard this, and relaxed a little, and when he saw the clusters of arrows beside him, he couldn't help but be happy, and ordered:
"These arrows are of good quality, since the thieves sent them, let's just accept them, pass the order, put on armor and shields, and collect all these arrows for military use."
Cao Jun's quality is on the high side, and after a while, thousands of people and horses rushed to the pass, all of them were dressed like iron buckets, and occasionally arrows pierced through the gaps in the big shields, which only made the people in the iron bucket tremble slightly, and they could not be hurt in the slightest.
Under the gate, Huang Xu, who was single-mindedly commanding, had sharp eyes like an eagle, and he saw everything in his eyes, and when he saw the crowd moving, he smiled secretly in his heart and shouted:
"Arrows on the oil, fire arrows, release!"
Archer B-level tactics, fire arrows, launch!
In siege battles, the levels are different from the cities, and the levels without extra buildings are difficult to ignite by rockets. But when the 5,000 rockets hit the wall in an instant, the clusters of black wood arrows became the best combustion-supporting materials at this time, and the fire burst out, and the Hangu Pass was suddenly in flames, and the thousands of soldiers who came to collect the materials were shrouded in the fire, and the fire became more and more vigorous, and the high temperature scorched the iron armor hot, and suddenly wailed. They tried to pull their legs and run away, but they all faltered, and some of them had less strength, and they were in a hurry, and they slipped and fell to the ground, making a sizzling sound, and white smoke was billowing.
The huge Hangu Pass became purgatory in an instant, and it was not easy to send people to extinguish the flames after the ban, and thousands of ironclad troops had become overheated iron plate barbecue, charred as charcoal.
In the chaos, the remaining 8,000 people of the Chang'an army have quietly left the village and killed Xinfeng Port.
This small port does not have strong walls and high-rise buildings as barriers, how can it withstand the excited Zhang Xiu, Xu Huang, Lu Lingqi and others. A few flashes of red light flashed, and the nirvana of each department was like a scythe for cutting wheat, taking away countless lives. Cao Ren and Li Jin, who was wounded, tried their best to command and resist, but more than 3,000 soldiers and horses were thrown into the stove like withered grass in an instant, and there was no trace after licking the tongue of fire. Cao Ren sighed helplessly, and hurriedly led one hundred and ten remnants of soldiers into the big river in a small boat to give up Xinfeng Port.
The Yellow River is as quiet as a sleeping dragon, and on the surface of the river, the gray-headed and embarrassed Cao Ren has palpitations on his face, and he gasps:
"I heard that there are many strong martial arts generals in Chang'an, and I didn't care about it at first, but today I lost the battle, so I realized that what Miao Cai said was true, and even far underestimated the strength of the thief."
In a panic, Li Jin's shoulder wound collapsed, and at this time, he covered his shoulder with faint blood, and sighed:
"I have been in the Central Plains for many years, and I have only heard the names of Zhang Xiu and Xiliang Pang De in the North, and I never thought that the rest of the young generals were young, and they were not much worse than the two of them."
He suddenly thought of a person, and wondered:
"That little woman who makes a halberd, the halberd method is exquisite, and she has a bit of the shadow of the dove tiger in the past, I am afraid that she has obtained the true inheritance of Lu Bu, but I don't know who it is."
The two looked at each other, and were feeling melancholy and helpless, when the paddling soldier suddenly exclaimed:
"General, no, the enemy is chasing after you!"
Cao Ren looked up blankly, looked at Xinfeng Port, and saw that many people and horses were taking the boat (ge) into the river one by one, and the movement was extremely fast, but in a moment, thousands of men and horses were all ready, under the command of the first two generals, like arrows from the string, rushing towards this side.
It's thousands of well-trained sailors!
Cao Ren was dumbfounded, and hurriedly urged the oarsmen to say:
"Hurry up! Mengjin Port is ahead, as long as you set foot on the land of Luoyang, you will have your own soldiers and horses to respond! ”
The soldier was in a hurry, his men quickened their movements, but the way of rowing was so easy to be proficient, the more urgent his movements, the slower the speed of the boat, Cao Ren was furious, and when he stood up, he was about to draw his sword and cut him, but he was not water-sensitive, and as soon as he stood up, his body shook, and after a few tremors, he sat down again.
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun stood proudly on the bow of the boat, two red cloaks were blown up to the sky by the wind, and the two of them were deflated for months, but on the surface of this river, they were like dragons entering the sea, but they also had full momentum. On the contrary, Zhang Xiu Pang De's face was bitter, and when he encountered the waves, his face turned pale, and he hugged the bow of the boat from time to time and vomited, and he didn't even have the strength to mock each other.
Cai and Zhang have been on the river for most of their lives, eating the rice bowl of water warfare, since they have rich experience in boating, one by one, with the blessing of propulsion characteristics, the speed is a few points faster than ordinary building boats, and it is not a problem to deal with a few landlubbers.
The Chang'an army arrived first, and in less than half an hour, Cao Ren and his party were surrounded in the middle, Cao Ren reluctantly stood up, drew his sword and looked angrily, and was about to fight to the death. Cai Mao laughed, raised his hand and wanted to use the naval tactics to knock several of them into the water.
Lin Li raised his hand to stop it and said with a smile:
"Why should Zixiao be strong, if we wanted to take your life, we would have already released arrows to attack and surround you, but I just didn't want the good general to succumb to death, and I would have lost my prestige in vain. If you don't put down your sword and catch it, do you have to tie me up with a rope and send you to wait for the head and Apu? ”
Cao Ren scolded angrily:
"Who are you? How dare you despise me, a certain has been in the army for ten years, how can he be greedy for life and afraid of death, if he wants to kill, he must listen to him, and he will never surrender to a thief. ”
Lin Li laughed and said:
"Zixiao is trapped by me now, and I don't know that our army is full of talents and countless good generals? I didn't capture you to persuade you to surrender, it's just that I have an old relationship with Cao Gong, and I don't want to hurt his love general. ”
Cao Ren rolled his eyes and shouted:
"I don't want to hurt me, I don't persuade me to surrender, and I don't want to let Kai pass quickly. As for this kindness, I will keep it in mind, and when I see my lord, I will intercede for you, and I will meet again on the battlefield next time, and I will wait for you. ”
Lin Li didn't know that Cao Ren's face was also thick as the city wall, so he rolled his eyes and waved his hand:
"Take it, take it!"
The generals behind him couldn't hold it back, hugged him, kicked Cao Ren down with his feet, and tied him like a zongzi in the blink of an eye, only more than 100 people were left on the water, and even the blisters didn't turn out, Cao Ren was still waiting to scold, Xu Huang pulled a rag and stuffed it into his mouth, and suddenly there was no sound, and he was taken aside by the guards.
On the side, Li Jin was hit by the pond fish, the same bundle was strong, he had a wound on the shoulder, at this time he was treated roughly, the injury was aggravated, the blood flowed like no money, he was in severe pain, but his face remained unchanged at all.
Zhang Xiu fought with him, knew that his martial arts were extraordinary, and praised:
"What a good man!"
He attached his ear canal,
"Lord, this person is highly skilled, and he can be included in the account and reused in the future."
Lin Li didn't know Li Jin, but he knew Zhang Xiu's temperament, so his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he walked in front of him quietly, and said softly:
"Cao Mengde is suspicious and jealous, he can accept generals but can't be relieved of his own army, I will let you go, Cao Ren is his brother, he is fine, but you don't have a little foundation, even if he doesn't kill you, I am afraid it will be difficult to get ahead in the future, why waste your skills?"
Li Jin's face was stunned, and he was about to speak, when Zhang Xiu on the side cut the rope on his body with a sword, pointed to himself, and said:
"As for my father-in-law, he is notoriously benevolent, and he appreciates capable people. A certain and Jia Xu were both enemies of him, but now Wen He is a military advisor, and a certain is also an official Pingbei general, if you are willing to surrender, with your marksmanship, even if it is far inferior to me, I don't worry about being able to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and he is famous all over the world! ”
Li Jin clenched his fists, knelt down on one knee, and said sincerely:
"Lin Gong is broad-minded, willing to warn with good words, and admires him. There is no advantage in entering the body, there is no retribution, but I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses and help the lord. ”
Lin Li helped him up and said with a smile:
"I have the help of the general, fortunately."
Li Jin stood up, glanced at Zhang Xiu and said:
"As for General Zhang, the last time it was the defeat of the soldiers and horses, I don't want to entangle with you, so I let you make a move and a half, and when you have the opportunity in the future, you will come again to ask for advice!"
Zhang Xiu patted him on the shoulder and laughed:
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."
……
The chaos on the river surface quickly ended, Lin Li looked to the east, called Cai and Zhang, and asked softly:
"From here to Mengjin Port, go at full speed, how long can you get there."
Cai Mao had a difficult face, and bluntly said that he didn't know the location of Mengjin Port, so Li Jin dipped his hand in the river water and compared it with him.
Cai Zhang and the others discussed it and said:
"My lord, if you travel lightly, you can arrive tonight."
Lin Li was overjoyed when he heard this, and ordered:
"In this way, our army pointed directly at Mengjin Port, and the three armies used dry food on the ship, and tonight our army broke Cao Cao, and the whole army was rewarded with gold and silver, and it was fun to cook sheep and slaughter cattle!"
