The thunderbolts above the city couldn't stop throwing boulders the size of millstones into the more than 40,000 Jingzhou troops led by Cai Mao, because they lit torches. It was like a bright light in the night, giving the thunderbolt in the city a big target.

Within a distance of 150 to 250 steps from Fancheng, the Jingzhou army was scattered, so that the angle of the thunderbolt cart on the city did not need to be precisely adjusted, as long as within this range, the boulder thrown would inevitably cause huge casualties to the Jingzhou army.

"Poisonous boom

The boulder was still being thrown out, smashing heavily into the Jingzhou military formation. A boulder the size of a millstone smashed into the Jingzhou sergeant, who was trying to dodge left and right, but how did he know that there were robes next to him, and he couldn't dodge at all, so he had to raise his leather shield. The leather shield is like papier-mâché. After being hit by a boulder the size of a grinding disc, the whole thing was shattered, and then the arm of the Jingzhou sergeant was crushed, and then it was directly slammed into his chest.

With a loud bang, the boulder finally came into contact with the ground, and the Jingzhou sergeant between the boulder and the ground had turned into a puddle of flesh. Not only him, but even the robes around him were not spared, becoming the ghost under the boulder. After the boulder comes into contact with the ground, the edges and corners of the boulder are worn away due to inertia, and the boulder still rolls forward.

Unprepared, the Jingzhou sergeant was crushed by the rolling boulders and finally turned into pulp. This scene is being born everywhere on the battlefield

Many Jingzhou soldiers had already shouted at this time: "We attacked Nanyang, offended the wrath of heaven, and a boulder fell from the sky, this is the punishment of heaven for us." At the same time, these Jingzhou soldiers knelt down and worshipped, hoping that God could calm their anger. But how could their worship stop the boulder? Seeing that worship was fruitless, many Jingzhou soldiers said: "The fat cavalry general and Nanyang have the blessing of heaven, we attack Nanyang, and the enemy of the fat cavalry general is to offend the wrath of heaven, go quickly!" Only by escaping from Nanyang can there be life! ”

Cai Mao, who was in command of the Chinese army, was shocked when he saw that the army was rashly hit by this blow that fell from the sky. He also heard rumors in the army, and scolded loudly: "What offends the wrath of heaven, this is the enemy's trebuchet!" "But no matter how Cai Mao calls, it will be in vain in the chaos of the army.

At this time, Cai Mao's younger brother Cai Zhong came to Cai Mao. grabbed Cai Mao and said, "Brother." Go away, we have offended the wrath of heaven. A boulder fell from the sky to punish us, and this Nanyang still has to fight. Let's go! As he spoke, he pulled Cai Mao and walked back.

Cai Mao saw that his straw bale brother actually believed this ghost and god's words, and his heart was suddenly furious. raised his hand and slapped Cai Zhong in the face and scolded: "Guy who has no interest, what a boulder fell from the sky." This is the enemy's trebuchet. ”

Cai Zhong ignored the pain on his face, continued to hold Cai Mao and said, "Brother, whether it's a trebuchet or a boulder falling from the sky, let's go quickly, if it's too late, we will be hit by a boulder." We are all bones. After speaking, he couldn't help but pull Cai Mao back hard.

This time, Cai Mao did not resist, but let Cai Zhong pull him away, but fortunately, he did not forget to order: "Mingjin withdraws his troops!" Fall back! ”

"Dangdang,"

The sound of gold in the Jingzhou army couldn't help but hear, and the panicked Jingzhou soldiers finally found their way, and they didn't think about it, they discarded all the weapons and leather shields in their hands, and fled backwards as if they were dead.

The sound of Mingjin came out, and it was faintly heard above Fancheng, and the adjutant general immediately reported to Huang Xu: "General. The enemy has retreated! ”

Huang Xu nodded. He ordered loudly: "If the thunderbolt chariot shoots two more rounds, you will immediately gather two thousand soldiers and go out of the city to pursue the enemy, but you can only chase ten miles, and after ten miles, you can't chase any more in any case, and even if you have won after ten miles, you will have no success!" ”

The adjutant general heard it and replied loudly: "No! Then he turned and ordered his troops out of the city to chase after him.

After the adjutant general left, Huang Xu ordered loudly: "The rest of the people, don't relax, and strictly prevent the enemy from counterattacking and attacking the city." ”

When everyone heard this, they responded in unison: "No."

An hour later, the adjutant general led two thousand soldiers back to the city, each of whom held at least four or five weapons or leather shields, flags and other items, which were obviously items left behind by the Jingzhou army.

It was followed by hundreds of Jingzhou troops, who should have surrendered to the army.

The adjutant general led the army back to the city, and immediately reported to Huang Xuyu: "The general is clever, the last general led the army to pursue, and led the army back to the city before chasing a forest ten miles away, but the last general still left scouts. Later, the scout came to report that after the last general led the army away, an army walked out of the woods and turned to the south, it was the Jingzhou army ambush, and the banner was Wen Cheng, the general who had just attacked the city. ”

After listening to this, the generals next to him all looked at Huang Xu with admiring eyes. Huang Xu didn't think so, just smiled and said to them: "The soldiers have been tired from the battle all night, and they all go back to rest, just leave the necessary people to defend the city, Cai Mao's army will not come again today." ”

The generals were convinced by Huang Xu, a young general, at this time, and thought that he had obtained this high position by relying on the shadow of his father Huang Zhong, but he was a person who did not learn and did not know how to do it. How do you know that you have great talents, and you can't be underestimated. The generals respectfully withdrew. Huang Xu led his soldiers back to the county office.

On the way, Huang Xu saw the captain of the pro-soldier several times, and he stopped talking. Then he smiled and said: "You are the captain of the general's personal guard, and the general on the battlefield is going to hand over his life to you for protection, so you might as well say it bluntly." When the captain of the guard heard this, he said, "The general wants to ask why the general learned that the army of Wenpin was ambushed in the woods ten miles outside the city, and strictly ordered the pursuing army not to cross ten miles. ”

At this time, the two had already entered the county office, and Huang Xu laughed and said: "I will be in Fancheng for a long time, and the geography outside the city has long been explored. The Jingzhou Army is almost in the hands of Cai Mao, Cai Mao is jealous of talents, and all talented people will not be tolerated by Cai Mao. Wenpin's martial arts are also higher than the generals. Cai Mao is not as good as that. In addition, the lord once sent the list of Jingzhou's contextual martial arts abilities and personalities to the general, and the general knew that this Wen was left in the Jingzhou army by Liu Biao's favor. ”

After a pause, Huang Xu continued: "After defeating Wen Cheng before, Cai Mao will not be used again, and Cai Mao's army was defeated by our army's thunderbolt car. ”

When the captain of the guard heard this, he praised: "The general is brilliant and scheming, and the general admires it." ”

Huang Xu smiled and said, "It's also that I've been with Xiaozhi for a long time before, listen."

After listening to Huang Xu's words, the captain of the guard remembered that he and Fa Zheng were good friends, and Fa Zheng could become the strategist that Zhang Xiu valued, so he was naturally talented. Huang Xu was so powerful just by following Fa Zheng a little, which can be seen.

Let's say that Cai Mao returned to the camp set up on the bank of the Han River, his face was gloomy, and he saw Wen Ping on the side. Snorted coldly and said, "Zhongye sent troops without the approval of the general, what crime should he be guilty of?" ”

Wen Ping heard this, and the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, Huo Ran got up again, pointed at Cai Mao and scolded: "Hire to send troops without authorization." It was also a great defeat for the general. I was afraid that the army would be pursued by Huang Xu, so I sent troops to ambush in the woods, saved your life and said that Cheng had insulted Yu Hire, if it weren't for the state pastor's grace to Hire, Hi would have left a long time ago, hum! After speaking, he snorted angrily and flicked his sleeves and left.

Wen Ping angrily flicked his sleeves and left, Cai Mao and it can be said that he has torn his face, Cai Mao was already in a bad mood after the defeat, and now he was contradicted by Wen Ping's words, so he had to thunder in the tent, scolding everyone to a bloody head, and finally shouted: "The morale of the army is not high, and today I will rest in the camp." The matter of attacking Fancheng will be taken care of later, and let it go. Everyone could disperse when they heard this, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and the taste of being scolded was naturally not good.

And the truth is just as Huang Xu expected. Cai Mao did not lead a large army to attack that day, Huang Xu sent people to spread the news of the Jingzhou army's attack on Fancheng to Wancheng, but soon after the messenger netted away, there were people in the north who came with the news that Di County had been breached, and these people fled to Fancheng for temporary refuge in fear, and Huang Xu immediately arranged manpower to settle the people. He revised the letter again to inform Zhang Liao of Wancheng about the matter.

Di County was breached, and the Nanyang portal was opened. Ji Ling blocked the people from entering and exiting, but some clever people outside Deng County saw that something was wrong, but some of the older local people in Nanyang recognized that the soldiers on the head of Deng County belonged to Yuan Shujun. These people lived under the rule of Zhang Xiu for several years, abundant food and clothing, life was much better than before, and usually heard the words of foreign merchants that the people of Hebei and the Central Plains were hungry and poor, so they cherished the hard-won life even more, so they were very supportive of Zhang Xiu. Now that the county has been breached, the people know that war is near. They all avoided Wancheng in the north and Fancheng in the south, and at the same time brought the news of the change of ownership of Di County to the two cities.

It was almost dusk, and in the palace of Wancheng Taishou, Zhang Liao, Zhong Xuan, Zhuge Jin, Gan Ning, and Yang Feng were impressively listed.

I only heard Zhang Liao say first: "Liao has sent scouts, and the news from the people can basically be confirmed, it is Yuan Shu's army that has captured Deng County." ”

Zhong Lian heard it and said, "I didn't expect Yuan Shu to really attack when the lord was marching west." ”

Zhuge Jin frowned and said: "I'm afraid it's not just Yuan Shu who did it this time, Liu Biao must also be involved, I'm afraid that now Liu Biao's army has attacked Fancheng." ”

Zhang Liao listened, nodded and said, "Not bad." If Liu Biao hadn't been involved in this matter, Yuan Shu's army would not have been able to cross Yiyang, Xinye and other places to capture Deng County. However, for T婪 City, Liao is not worried. Although the defenders of the city of T婪 are small. But there is a son here, which is enough to ensure that Fancheng is not lost. Moreover, the lord arranged a lot of thunderbolts in Fancheng, and if Zi promoted the command properly, it was difficult to guarantee that the Jingzhou army would not lose its troops. ”

Zhuge Huang heard this, and then said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It turns out that the lord has been prepared in Fancheng, but he has been careful. ”

Zhang Liao frowned and said, "That being said. However, if Yuan Shu's army cannot be defeated as soon as possible, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be lost under the long-term siege of Wancheng. According to the news from the scouts, there are about 40,000 Yuan Shu's army in Di County, and the leader of the troops is the general Ji Ling. And the pontoon bridge erected by Ji Ling on top of the water was not demolished, but was strictly guarded, but was afraid that Yuan Shu and reinforcements would come. That's it. Yuan Shu's army is no longer a few, and my Nanyang army can fight, all in Wancheng, only 10,000 infantry cavalry troops, and 10,000 Xingba's naval army, but the naval army has not been trained for a long time, I am afraid that only the Jinfan battalion can defeat the Jingzhou naval army. ”

Zhuge Jin smiled slightly: "Although there are only 30,000 troops, it is not difficult to break the Yuan Shu army. ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, he looked at Zhuge Jin in surprise and asked, "Ziyu has a good plan to break the enemy?" Zhong Chai also smiled with a smile in his eyes: "General, come here with your ears." ”

Zhang Liao knew that these literati liked these Taoisms, and he had also seen Jia Xu and Fa Zheng discuss with Zhang Xiu many times, so he smiled and leaned his ear over. Zhuge Jin whispered in Zhang Liao's ear, and Gan Ning, who was next to him, saw Zhang Liao laughing more and more, and looked at Zhong Xuan, smiling helplessly.

After Zhuge finished speaking, Zhang Liao didn't smile and asked, "Is Ziyu's strategy really feasible?" ”

Zhuge Jin said: "I dare to guarantee the head of the item." ”

Zhang Liao nodded and said, "Okay." Everything is according to Ziyu's plan. ”

Zhuge nodded and said: "This morning, Ji Ling's army broke through that county, and did not immediately attack Wancheng, I am sure that Ji Ling will march overnight tonight, and if he wants to trap Deng County, he will attack Wancheng at night, and Ji Ling will eat one, which will be a big loss." ”

Gan Ning heard it and asked, "What does Mr. think?" ”

Zhuge Jin said: "Ji Ling marched overnight, he must be tired, General Zhang personally guarded at the head of the city tonight, according to the city will repel Ji Ling, Ji Ling will retreat when he sees that the sneak attack is not successful." Our army first ambushed the army outside the city, when Ji Ling went to the village. Suddenly killed, hit him by surprise, and destroyed the big stopper, Ji Ling saw that the village could not succeed, and he would temporarily withdraw the army and wait for reinforcements, so that he could give Ji Ling a dismount first, so that he could suffer a loss, as for how much this loss can make Shao Ling suffer, it depends on the performance of the generals. ”

When Gan Ning heard this, he asked for battle first: "General Zhang." Rather lead an army to ambush outside the city and raid Ji Ling. ”

Zhang Liao heard this, nodded and said, "Xingba is brave, but he can take this position." It's not early in the day. Xingba immediately went to lead 5,000 cavalry out of the city, ambushed in the woods west of the city, and saw that Ji Ling attacked the city and retreated. When the Lisper is slack, he can attack. ”

After a pause, Zhang Liao shouted again: "Yang Feng." You also led 5,000 cavalry out of the city, and when you saw Ji Ling's army attacking the city, you immediately attacked. ”

Gan Ning and Yang Feng heard it, and responded at the same time: "No"

Zhuge next to him listened to it and praised: "General Zhang's plan is brilliant, and General Yang raided Ji Ling." The inside and the outside should be combined, Ji Ling can be forced to retreat, and this army can also be used as a cover for General Gan, Ji Ling must be unprepared, and General Gan can make great contributions. ”

There are only 2 days left for the double monthly pass, and today 3 is more explosive, asking for a monthly pass, I hope everyone has a vote... Bow and thank you!!
