Chapter 63: The Death of the Fragrance and the Jade
In the middle of the night, Xu You led a large group of people dressed as domestic slaves to attack the city gate, thanks to Dian Wei's battle-hardened, the city gate would not be lost for a while. When the two sides fought fiercely, more domestic slave guests joined the battle, and the person was Zhou Xiong, who had been whipped by Zhang Fei. Originally, the defenders were at a disadvantage, but with the addition of Zhou Xiong, the proportion of the number of people was instantly increased, and the battle became no suspense.
It was too late for Dian Wei to hear the news, the Cao army had already entered the city, and the soldiers of the two armies were fighting everywhere, so he did not hesitate to step forward to kill the enemy. slashed for a while, killing nearly 100 Cao Jun soldiers, Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang killed at the same time, and the three of them fought evenly together.
The defenders are only more than 20,000 people, and they have to be divided into four city walls in the southeast, northwest and west to defend, and the Cao army of nearly 30,000 plus Xu You, Zhou Xiong's slave guests, is almost more than 37,000 people, and what is even worse is that these more than 30,000 people all rushed in from the west gate, and the disparity in strength can be imagined, no matter how well-trained the defenders are, they are also killed and retreated.
Dian Wei himself is not afraid of death, but there are two well-known housemothers in the state capital, that is, Xie Chengbin's wife who has not yet passed the door, and it can be regarded as Xie Chengbin's wife, and no one will be able to run away if he continues to consume it like this. Having made up his mind, Dian Wei made a few moves to force back Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang, and ran towards the state capital by himself. Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang wanted to chase after them, but they were stopped by Dian Wei's cronies, and they couldn't rush over for a while.
Dian Wei came to the state capital and told everyone that they couldn't stand it, so let's run. Dian Wei has never lied, this is recognized, everyone does not suspect him, and he fled through the back door before he had time to bring anything with his luggage. As soon as the back door opened, Xu You was already waiting outside the door, and the guards outside the door were all dead.
Xu You's face was full of evil greed, and he threatened that as long as Ganmei was alone, Dian Wei would not allow it. The conditions could not be negotiated, Xu Yu gave an order, the house slaves and the guests swarmed up, Dian Wei asked his cronies to escort the others to go first, and he was alone at the door to fight. Although Dian Wei is fierce, he does not have the magic skill of protecting the body, nor does he have the incorruptible body of King Kong, he is made of meat, and he will also be injured.
Everyone ran from the back door to the front door, only to see many soldiers killed by Cao Jun and retreated, and the two sides were fighting at the door, this time everyone could not fly.
At this moment, the earth began to tremble, very slightly, an earthquake? Accompanied by the earthquake came a rumbling sound, getting louder and louder, this sound overshadowed the killing shouts in the city, and it turned out to be the east gate of the Dongping Tomb of the Xie Army.
These iron horses are different from the previous iron horses, the previous iron horses are a simplified version, the armor of the war horse can only protect the front half of the war horse, and the knight only has a helmet and vest armor, and the current iron horse looks like an iron horse hunching an iron man, at first glance it looks like a knight in the West!
The horse's paw on the horse's hooves stepped on the stone bricks on the street and made a burst of "click" sound, loud and crisp, and thousands of war horses ran into a loud rumbling sound, as if there was a stone rain in the sky! The momentum is very loud and astounding!
When the soldiers of the Cao army saw that the iron cavalry of the Xie army swept like a turbulent tsunami, they all turned around and ran away, and the slow runner was hit by the iron cavalry and died tragically under the hooves of the iron cavalry.
Dian Wei had nearly ten wounds on his body, bleeding nonstop, and the double halberd had long been deformed, still guarding the back door inch by inch, and the door was stacked with layers of corpses more than a meter high.
Xu You knew that the Qingzhou Iron Cavalry was powerful, and if the Iron Cavalry arrived later, it would be a failure, and he was angry and let the house slaves and guests rush in, but the house slaves and the guests were frightened by Dian Wei's bravery, and no one was willing to make a head bird, and the two sides were at a stalemate.
At this time, Xiahou Yuan arrived with his troops and ordered to kill Dian Wei, and Cao's army swarmed up! Dian Wei suddenly threw the double halberd, and the two Cao soldiers fell down in response, and took out ten small halberds from their arms, and threw the enemy with the halberd, and those who threw them fell silently.
Cao Jun followed one after another, Dian Wei grabbed two corpses and used them as weapons, the corpses weighing more than 100 catties were as light as a feather in Dian Wei's hands, swept left and right, and those who were close were all smashed away, and the rest did not dare to approach.
Xiahou Yuan was furious, and was about to take it upon himself when the iron cavalry of the Xie army arrived, and the two sides fought for a while, and the Cao army was defeated by the iron cavalry, and retreated in defeat.
Zhang Fei led his troops to chase the enemy, Xie Chengbin hurriedly jumped off the horse, walked to Dian Wei's side and helped Dian Wei to ask for warmth, for fear that Dian Wei would be ill. Dian Wei's face was full of guilt, and he lost several cities in a row, wanting to apologize for his crimes with death. Xie Chengbin didn't allow it, so he was comforted.
Suddenly, someone came to report, the front door could not resist Cao Jun, everyone dispersed, and the whereabouts of Gao and Ganmei were unknown. Xie Chengbin was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly led his cronies into the state capital, and finally found the bodies of Gao and Gan Mei among the many dead bodies in the corridor near the backyard.
The whole Dongping Mausoleum is in chaos, the defenders in the city are fighting separately, due to the disparity in the proportion of the two armies, the defenders are broken by the Cao army one by one, the Cao army has not had time to cheer, the Xie army iron cavalry is like a flood of the river, and the Cao army is defeated and left.
Cao's army finally withdrew its troops, like a black tide exiting Dongpingling, and fled to Dong'e in the west. At this point, less than 5,000 remnants of Cao's army were left and fled from Dong'e.
The hall of Dongpingling has been dressed up as a mourning hall, and the coffins in the mourning hall have not yet been closed, and there are Gan Mei and Gao lying in the coffins, and Xie Chengbin is standing next to him. Although Xie Chengbin was angry about their deaths, he felt more guilt and regret, after all, the two armies were fighting, and casualties were inevitable, Xie Chengbin still understood this truth, but he didn't expect them to leave at such a young age.
If it weren't for Xie Chengbin's appearance, then Gan Mei would have married Liu Bei, and the Gao family might have bought it for Zhou Xiong or as a slave or as a wife and concubine, anyway, they would have lived longer, but now they can't even put the tablet in the hero list. (Only those who have contributed to the country are eligible to put the spirit card here for future generations to worship, and Xie Chengbin doesn't want to make an exception because of personal matters.) )
In other words, in this era of war and chaos, rather than living so hard, death is not a relief, I hope they will rest in peace.
Just when Xie Chengbin was thinking about it, a horse suddenly came to report, saying that Xuzhou Lu Bu sent someone to send a letter for help, and handed the bamboo scroll to Xie Chengbin. Xie Chengbin opened it and saw a few sparse lines on it.
Yuan Cao's 60,000 troops pressed the border, and he hoped that the public soldiers would rescue him, and he was grateful.
Since Dong'e and Dongpingling were both fighting with the city gates opened, and the battle was sudden and short, the losses of the troops of the two main cities were not too severe. After Xie Chengbin healed Dian Wei, Liu Quan and Gao Lan, he led the cavalry south.
Since Lu Bu came to Xuzhou, there have been no days of stability, because Yuan Shu sent Ji Ling to visit the door in three days. If that's the case, forget it, the problem is that Cao Cao also sent Cao Ren over to join in the fun, and from time to time sneaked up on Lu Bu's axle load team, making Lu Bu angry but helpless. Ji Ling was unable to pursue several big victories because of Cao Ren, who was eyeing him, which made Lu Bu feel very helpless and helpless.
Chen Gong thought that this would not be a long-term solution, so he proposed to Lu Bu to secretly ask Xie Chengbin for help first, and then withdraw his troops. Let's see if Cao Ren and Ji Ling can fight because of the competition for territory, even if it doesn't work, Xie Chengbin will help, Xie Chengbin is strong and strong, as long as Xie Chengbin arrives, he will not worry about Cao Yuan not retreating and even defeat Cao Yuan, although this move is risky, it is very safe.
Lu Bu was a little dissatisfied when he heard the withdrawal of troops, but after remembering Xie Chengbin's advice, he still adopted Chen Gong's strategy, retreated to Xiapi and held out, waiting for Xie Chengbin's reinforcements to arrive.
The capital of Xuzhou was originally in Pengcheng, but because Yuan Shu had made Pengcheng full of holes when he attacked Liu Bei before, Chen Gongjian temporarily moved to Xiapi in the case of a shortage of food. Xiapi south is close to Surabaya, Yishui and Wushui come north to surround the city and meet Surabaya, it is the 6th thoroughfare of the Central Plains water, it not only occupies the advantage of water transportation, but also has the convenience of irrigation, fishing and hunting, the soil is fertile, the products are abundant, the people are prosperous, the commerce and trade are prosperous, it is the place where the soldiers of the past dynasties compete.
As soon as Lu Bu withdrew, Cao Ren and Ji Ling really fought, but after two days of fighting, they combined their troops to chase Lu Bu and surrounded Xiapi City, and the Lu army was all panicked.
Chen Dengben was the captain of the agricultural school under Tao Qian's account, and Tao Qian made friends with Liu Bei after Tao Qian gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei. Lu Bu snatched Liu Bei's Xuzhou name is not right, which makes Chen Deng very disgusted, nominally he switched to Lu Bu, but in fact he always hopes that Liu Bei will come back, but who knows that Liu Bei will never return.
When Chen Deng saw Yuan Cao besieging the city, he knew that the opportunity was rare, but because he had no military power at hand, and he did not hire any domestic slaves or guests, it was difficult for the classic Qiao woman to cook without rice. Just when Chen Deng was worried, Yuan Shu's meticulous work came to Chen Deng (Chen Deng was a celebrity) and persuaded Chen Deng to switch to Yuan Shu's account, and the two hit it off, and Chen Deng decided to take the risk to persuade Lu Bu's subordinates to rebel.
This night, Chen Deng came to Hao Meng's residence and brought a lot of money as a meeting gift. Since Lu Bu ordered that the people should not be scraped, Hao Meng hadn't seen so much money for a long time, so he was very polite to invite Chen Deng to sit down.
At this time, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Wei Xu and others came to Hao Meng to discuss city defense matters, and it happened that Cao Xing, who was training sergeants, came back, and Cao Xing saw that the people who came were acquaintances, so he came to report by the way. When he came to the door and was about to knock on the door, he heard a sentence from the lobby, "Now that Lu Bu is gone, why should the general be buried with him?" ”
This scared Cao Xing so much that he didn't know whether to knock on the door, just when Cao Xuan hesitated, Hao Meng's voice came from inside. "Mr. Chen, this matter is very important, please let me think about it."
