Chapter 48: Under siege
When Liu Heng woke up, it was almost evening, and a family member came to report: "Miss Zhao and the owner of Huangzhai ask to meet!"
Liu Heng asked urgently, "When did they come?"
He replied, "It's been two hours. ”
Liu Heng repented with his hand and said, "I was greedy for wine and made a mistake!" hurriedly kissed and pleased.
Huang Zhao and the others walked in quickly, looking solemn.
Liu Heng apologized, blaming himself for being greedy for alcohol and making things happen, and made the two of them wait for a long time.
Huang Xian comforted Liu Heng a few words, and then told Liu Heng about his strategic plan: "The Tuoba Department lost Liujiabao and fell into our ambush again this morning, and they will not be reconciled and will soon take revenge; although Tuoba Lao'er has suffered a loss, his strength is obviously superior, and in his bones, they will still look down on us." When he led his troops to kill and his foothold was not stable, we "waited for work" and went to steal camps and rob villages at night, but there was still a great chance of victory. There are many small enemies in the city, and we must not be able to support it for too long, and we must disturb the morale of the Hu soldiers, so that we can get away with the retreat, we can use the strategy of "encircling Wei to save Zhao", and ask the old hero of Zhao to send troops to attack the rear of Tuoba Xiong, the enemy's army will be chaotic, and we will wait for the opportunity to counterattack, and we can win a big victory; there is also a strategy, which is to contact the Han forces in Wancheng, attack the Tuoba department, and relieve the siege of Liujiabao; finally, if all the plans fail, we can only abandon the city and retreat to Camel Ridge, or defect to the old hero Zhao in Jinji Ridge. ”
Liu Heng listened to Huang Xian's analysis of the enemy's strategy, his expression was focused, he nodded frequently, and finally praised: "Good strategy, good strategy!" After a while, he pondered slightly, and then said: "The other strategies are very good, but it is too dangerous to attack the enemy camp at night." We have won two surprise battles, and the old thief must be on guard and must think long-term. ”
Zhao Wanming said: "Second Master Liu, our thoughts are for reference only, and besides, we are here to bid you farewell." We plan to rush to Jinjiling as soon as possible, so that my father can send men and horses to attack and harass the Tuoba Department, contain the Hu soldiers, and relieve the pressure of Liujiabao's defense of the city!"
"Miss Zhao......" Liu Heng was about to send dozens of people to escort Huang and Zhao, but before he could say anything, he heard a rush of running sounds, and a burger's panicked ran in, panting and shouting: "Report! The big thing is not good, Hu Bing has surrounded Liujiabao!"
The three of them were taken aback, and Liu Heng said: "I didn't expect that Hu Bing's counterattack this time would be faster than last time! It seems that the two of you have to live in Liujiabao temporarily, and then send you on the road after I retreat from the enemy!"
Huang Zhao saw that he couldn't leave Liujiabao, so he volunteered and was willing to help Liu Erye stick to the city.
Liu Heng was overjoyed and led the two to the top of the city to inspect the enemy.
The walls of the city were filled with piles of wood and masonry, all of which had been temporarily removed from the houses. The castle was armed with bows and arrows, and steel knives at the waists, and waited for battle.
Liu Yan was leading several leaders to supervise the battle on the city wall, and suddenly saw Liu Huang and Zhao climbing the city wall, so they approached to give a salute.
The people outside the city shouted that the horses neighed, the sound of iron hooves shook the heavens and the earth, and the Hu cavalry came from the north like a tide, and they could not see the edge at a glance, and soon surrounded the four gates.
Liu Heng saw that the Tuoba cavalry was so powerful, and he couldn't help but get nervous in his heart: there were only 1,000 people in Liujiabao who could fight, and they were scattered on the city wall, how could they resist so many Hu soldiers.
Huang Xian looked at the appearance of the Hu soldiers under the city prancing on their horses and whipping for a lifetime, how similar it was to the siege of Huangjiabao by the Hu soldiers a few months ago, thinking of the tragic death of his second brother, and the tragic situation of his parents and wives who did not see anyone alive or dead, he was suddenly furious, and said to Liu Heng with red eyes: "Lord Liubao, the Hu soldiers are vigorous, if you don't frustrate their spirit first, I am afraid that it will not be good for us to defend the city!"
Liu Heng heard Huang Xian talk about his strategy of retreating from the enemy, knew his plan, and said: "I'm afraid that the enemy soldiers have already taken precautions!"
Huang Xian said: "The enemy soldiers were newly defeated this morning, and suddenly gathered heavy troops to attack, they must be extremely tired, if you don't seize this fleeting opportunity to hit the arrogance of Hu Bing, I am afraid that there will be no chance in the future." Huang is not talented, please ask the castle lord to select a hundred people who dare to die, and I am willing to lead them to attack the enemy camp at night. If you can't win, you're willing to be punished!"
Lord Liu Bao was silent in thought, in a dilemma.
"Lord Liubao, the Lord of Huangzhai is right, the enemy is outnumbered, in the long run, it is difficult for Liujiabao to defend itself, it is better to take a risk, or to reverse the situation; if the Lord of Huangzhai does not go out, I am willing to lead people to storm the camp of the Hu soldiers!" Liu Yan volunteered and looked excited.
Huang Xian said: "I have clashed with Hu Bing many times, I know their combat characteristics, it is most suitable for me to steal the camp, General Liu Yan can be my follow-up, if they are prepared, when they are in danger, they can come to help me get out of trouble." Huang Xian tried his best to insist on stealing camps and robbing villages, on the one hand, he believed that he was invincible, and on the other hand, he also wanted to make miraculous achievements and establish prestige.
Hu's troops are large, and robbing the camp is a very dangerous errand, Liu Yan is not sure in his heart, and when he sees Huang Xian's insistence, he will no longer fight.
Liu Heng also knew very well in his heart that he couldn't hold it anyway by just defending it, and there was a huge difference in the number of enemies and me, and only by winning by surprise could it be possible to retreat from the enemy. He admired Huang Xian's deep righteousness and courage from the bottom of his heart, and said: "Master Huangzhai, then I have to work hard for you." I'll personally put you in the city!"
After Tuoba Xiong led his troops to besiege the city, he was not in a hurry to attack, but set up a fence, set up camp, and recuperate. After nightfall, Hu Ying was quiet and silent.
At the third watch, the north gate of Liujiabao slowly opened, and Huang Xian led a selected 100 death squad, tied up the horses, quietly went out of the city, and went straight to the camp of the Chinese army.
Approaching the enemy camp, Huang Xian asked people to move the fence and cut the camp fence, shouted, and rode into the camp. I saw the lights of the Chinese army flickering, and on the throne behind the handsome case, there was a faint figure shaking. Huang Xian was overjoyed, thinking that it was Tuoba Xiong, urging the horse to enter the tent, his legs knocked into the tiger, and his small belly hit the iron beam, and the war horse jumped forward with a long waist. Huang Xian and his horse rose in the air, and stabbed the person on the seat with a spear. Who knew that the spear stabbed the person in the seat, and the spear head entered without any effort.
Huang Xian was shocked, knowing that it was a dummy: he was fooled. said that it was too late and that was fast, from the stabbing of the dummy to knowing the plan, all this happened when the horse jumped in the air, he was about to beckon everyone to retreat, the war horse had fallen from the sky, the front hooves had just stepped on the ground, only to hear a click, the ground fell, Huang Xian and the horse fell into the trap of the horse together.
The trap was more than a zhang deep, and the war horse fell into the pit, and the horse's legs couldn't withstand the impact of his and Huang Xian's weight, so he lay down in the trap with a pop.
Seeing Huang Xian fall into the pit, he gave a hula, and dozens of Hu soldiers poured in from behind the big tent. They shouted, holding hook and rope locks, and stepped forward to capture Huang Xian.
Huang Xian fell into the pit but was not injured, how could a deep pit trap him be able to trap him. Huang Xian clenched the steel gun with both hands, grabbed the ground with the gun, and used his waist and legs to exert force, and with a vertical upward movement, his whole body jumped out of the ground more than five feet.
