Chapter 105: Murder and Arson
It is still more than 20 miles away from Hanoi City, there is a hill, no name and no surname, and the locals call it Tubao. When you enter Hanoi City, you pass under Tubao Mountain. Above the earthen bag, the forest is dense, and all kinds of birds walk through the forest. Another point of this mountain is the side near the pipeline, because of the construction of the pipeline, a gap about two feet high has been shoveled.
Standing above the gap, see everything on the official road clearly. Definitely a great place to set up an ambush. At this moment, the 3,000 men and horses led by Li Hui were resting in the dense forest on the mountain.
Lu Kuang looked at Hanoi City in the distance and asked Li Hui: "General, this place is too close to Hanoi, in case of a fight, the reinforcements from Hanoi City will arrive very widely, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to escape!" ”
Li Hui spit out the grassroots in his mouth: "Don't worry, I've already calculated, this place is twenty miles away from Hanoi City, from them found that something is wrong, if it is cavalry, it will take half an hour, if it is infantry, it will take an hour, there is half an hour, we can do a lot of things, besides, we will not fight with them, we can rest assured." ”
Lu Kuang was still a little worried. Li Hui asked, "Are all the things I asked you to prepare?" ”
Lu Kuang nodded. Li Hui said: "Very good, we will act according to the plan in a while, and I promise that it will not take half an hour to end the battle." ”
The scout quickly came to Li Hui's side and said in a low voice: "Two generals, they have already come, it is estimated that they will enter our ambush circle in half an hour!" ”
Li Hui stood up with a snort and said to Lu Kuang: "Start preparing, remember, don't rush down and fight with them until you have to!" ”
All went into combat positions. Li Hui saw Zhang Liao coming on horseback. He was followed by hundreds of soldiers. When he arrived at the foot of Tubao Mountain, Zhang Liao stopped his troops and raised his eyes to watch. The lush earthen bag made Zhang Liao a little worried, along the way, only this section of the road was the most dangerous, and he had received the news that Yuan Shao sent Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to lead the troops into Hanoi, if you want to ambush, this should be the best place.
Zhang Liao paused for a while, and a person ran from behind, his whole body was as black as charcoal, with two eyes as big as copper bells, and two halberds in his hand, and shouted at Zhang Liao: "Why don't you leave again, it's like this every time, as soon as you get here, you stop, either send troops to search the mountains, or look left and right, every time it's fine, do you think the food arrives too fast?" ”
Zhang Liao pointed to the dirt bag and said: "General Dian, you see that this mountain is steep, the trees are dense, there are no birds in the forest, there must be someone in ambush, it's better to see!" ”
Dian Wei said angrily: "It's only twenty miles from Hanoi here, the one who doesn't want to die is ambushed here, go quickly!" Dian Wei gently stabbed Zhang Liao's war horse on the ass with the tip of his halberd. The war horse was frightened, and in the laughter of Dian Wei, galloped away.
The soldiers did not know what was going on, and when they saw that the Lord was leaving, they could only follow. trotted to chase Zhang Liao. Dian Wei waved his hand back and shouted, "Let's go, enter Hanoi before dark, and we can rest!" ”
Li Hui counted carefully, a total of twenty two big cars, each car was very heavy, when the last car entered the ambush circle, Li Hui waved his hand, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang at the same time raised the knife and fell, they wasted the strength of the big stones carried up the mountain, one after another rolled down the mountain.
These stones are all made of large nets made of vines and fastened to the top of the mountain. Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang cut down the vines and continued their strength for a long time, forcing these stones to be like a race, you chase me and roll downwind. The stones were all very large, each weighing hundreds of pounds, and it took 3,000 people a day to carry them up the mountain.
Under the action of gravity, the boulder rolls faster and faster. The soldiers at the foot of the mountain felt the earth tremble at first, and then large rocks fell overhead. There were too many stones, and there was no time to dodge, and some of them smashed heavily on the grain cart, and the grain cart was smashed to pieces in an instant.
Some hit the soldier directly, and in an instant, the soldier's flesh and blood were blurred, like a piece of tissue paper, pasted on the ground. The first person to find out that something was wrong was Xu Chu, so he picked up the big knife, blocked left and right, and knocked down the stones that smashed him on both sides. Dian Wei's luck was a little worse, and when it saw the boulder flying towards him, it was too late to dodge, and the double halberd moved forward, and it collided with a boulder.
Even if Dian Wei crossed forward again, and hundreds of catties of boulders fell down, his arm would still be numb, and his internal organs would be like turning over the river and the sea.
Zhang Liao, who ran to the front, turned around and found that something was wrong and wanted to come to the rescue, but this stone rain was too powerful and didn't give him time at all. Zhang Liao commanded hundreds of escaped soldiers and began to move towards the mountain.
The stone rain had just passed, and the arrows in the sky completely extinguished the joy that these soldiers had just lifted. The soldiers thought they were lucky enough to escape the stone rain, which was a vast place, and they were sure when they fled. But the arrows covered as much as a black cloud overhead, and they were not given a chance at all.
Some of the clever ones find some food bags or hide under the car, and the stupid ones can only wait for death. Among them, Dian Wei is the kind of stupid person, because of the concussion, a mouthful of blood just spit out, the rain of arrows arrived, and he struggled to pick up the double halberd to block, but there were too many, blocking the top, not taking care of the bottom, blocking the bottom and not taking care of the top. After being shot into a hedgehog by an arrow, his eyes widened and he did not blink.
The arrow was fired three times, and the fourth round turned into a rocket. I don't know why, even if the rocket didn't hit anything, even if it fell to the ground, it was a muffled sound, and the flames that rushed into the sky ignited all the combustible things around it.
Li Hui shouted: "Lu Kuang, why did you kid get so much?" Will you need it next time? What a loser! ”
Lu Kuang only cared about releasing the arrows, and didn't hear Li Hui's words at all. By the time Zhang Liao rushed up the mountain, the raging fire had already burned the entire mountain. As soon as Li Hui saw that he was done, he whistled, and the brigade began to retreat. Zhang Xiu looked at Zhang Liao's team getting closer and closer, and said with a smile: "Come on!" Let you taste the trap! ”
Zhang Liao looked at the fire under the mountain, gritted his steel teeth, and rushed forward regardless of some. Suddenly, he felt the war horse fall down, and immediately slapped the saddle and jumped high. He ran away by himself, but the war horse fell into the pit, and the sharp wooden stick more than a foot long directly fixed the beloved war horse in the pit.
Zhang Liao's surroundings were full of shouts and screams, and it seemed that there were many pitfalls. I couldn't figure out the situation for a while, so I had to retreat down the mountain. Gather the remnants of the army, their own team, and the losses are not large. Cao Cao's grain convoy was completely killed and wounded, and Xu Chu and dozens of soldiers escaped. The general Dian Wei was killed in battle, and even his body was burned beyond recognition.
Lu Bu led the cavalry to arrive, and when he saw everything in front of him, he gritted his teeth with hatred and shouted loudly: "Yuan Shao, this revenge will not be avenged, and I, Lu Bu, will not be a man!" ”
