Chapter 137: Capturing Li Dian (Asking for Subscription)
In just one day, Qin Feng's bag was sent to Gan Ning by a fast horse, and Gan Ning was stationed in Ye County, an important town on the border between Nanyang and Yingchuan.
"Just give Cao Jun a dismount!"
After reading Qin Feng's secret letter, Gan Ning burned it, and then ordered: "Come here, order all the troops and horses to assemble quickly!" ”
The 5,000 Jingzhou soldiers under him were not counted in the Flame Army sequence, if they were to be counted, Qin Feng's men and horses would be close to 30,000, but these 30,000 men and horses could not be concentrated in one place, and there were still many passes and cities that needed to be garrisoned.
Not long after Xiahoudun led the vanguard of the army to cross the border, the front scouts flew to report: "General Qiqi, I waited to investigate near Ye County, and found that the city gate was closed, and there were only a few guards on the city wall. ”
"Oh?" When Xiahou heard this, he was stunned for a moment, he immediately thought of something, "It's not good, the Flame Army of Ye County has already run away, they are playing tricks, blocking our army with an empty city to delay time, pass on the order, and the whole army will speed up the march!" ”
"Yes!"
After the speed of the march accelerated, Xiahoudun and his men and horses quickly arrived outside the city of Yexian County, and sent people to shout and strictly order the defenders on the city wall to surrender.
Xiahoudun immediately sent people in to investigate, and as he guessed, there were no other defenders in Yexian City, except for a few old soldiers dressed like Huazi, and the common people hid at home and did not come out.
"You say, how long has it been since the defenders of the city left?" Xiahoudun pointed at an old soldier with a horsewhip and asked.
"If you go back to the general, you will leave for less than two hours!" The old man replied truthfully.
"Geometry with soldiers?"
"Three thousand!"
Xiahoudun immediately ordered: "Leave a thousand men and horses here to meet the prime minister's army, and the rest of the men and horses will go with a certain person to pursue the Flame Army!" ”
How can Li Dian do this when he hears this? The army has only been marching for two hours, and you still have to pursue the enemy, what if you are ambushed?
"General, no, my vanguard army is far away from the prime minister's army, it's not too late to wait for the prime minister's army to arrive, the flame army is in the Nanyang realm, they can't run!"
Where is Xiahoudun willing to listen, when he was besieged by the Flame Army led by Liu Beijun and Qin Feng, he was angry, and he was as aggrieved as he wanted.
Now that there is a chance for revenge, where is he willing to let it go, he immediately said: "If you don't want to go, stay in Ye County, leave 5,000 men and horses, and I will take 5,000 men and horses to pursue the Flame Army!" ”
"No, General, the Flame Army abandoned the city and left, obviously with bad intentions, please think twice!" Li Dian persuaded bitterly.
"This matter has been decided, you don't need to say more!" After Xiahoudun finished speaking, he picked up 5,000 men and horses and chased them in the direction of Wancheng.
"Hey!" Li Dian sighed, with a sad face, and could only watch Xiahoudun leave with the people.
A junior colonel next to him asked, "General, do you want to report this matter to the prime minister?" ”
Li Dian thought about it and vetoed this suggestion, "It's not appropriate, if General Xiahou goes to catch up with the Flame Army and wins a big victory, I will report this matter to the Prime Minister, and then General Xiahou doesn't regard me as a thorn in the flesh?" I not only offended General Xiahou, but also left a bad impression on the prime minister of making a small report behind his back, and he is not a person on the left and right! ”
After hearing this, Xiao Xiao Hao Zhao thought it was true, and learned another trick, and he couldn't help but ask: "Then we can only stay in Yexian and wait for the news of General Xiahou?" ”
Li Dian thought for a while, and said to the little colonel: "In this way, give you a thousand men and horses, and you will lead your troops to follow General Xiahou for twenty or thirty miles, if General Xiahou catches up with the enemy army and wins, if General Xiahou is ambushed or defeated, you will lead the army to ask for help in time!" ”
"Humble command!" Hao Zhao agreed, and immediately ordered a thousand soldiers and horses to follow Xiahoudun's five thousand soldiers and horses twenty miles away.
As soon as Hao Zhao led the troops away, Li Dian ordered the remaining 4,000 soldiers and horses to enter Yecheng.
However, two hours later, it was getting late, Li Dian ordered the soldiers in the city to make a fire to make food, and the soldiers were tired after a long march, and they were already tired, and they fell asleep not long after dinner.
I don't know how long later, a large number of footsteps and shouts of killing were heard outside the barracks, and Cao Jun, who was sleeping like a dead pig in the barracks, was rushed into the barracks by the Flame Army hidden in the city before he woke up from his sleep.
For a while, the soldiers of the Cao Army, who had no time to put on armor and take weapons, were rushed into the camp and barracks by the soldiers of the Flame Army and slashed and slashed until the blood flowed like a river.
The soldiers of the Cao Army, who were frightened by the sudden attack, were in a mess, and there were screams and shouts of killing everywhere, and the disheveled soldiers of the Cao Army fled in all directions one by one, but they were quickly cut down to the ground by the Flame Army who caught up.
Li Dian yelled and rushed out of the barracks, "Take my weapons!" ”
Several pro-soldiers quickly got their spears on the ground, and Li Dian took the weapons and shouted: "All the soldiers will go out with me!" ”
At this moment, almost all the Cao troops in the barracks were in chaos, most of them were disheveled, not to mention the armor, the weapons were not in their hands, and there were very few answers.
"Kill—" Li Dian roared and rushed towards a group of flame troops, killing several people in a row.
This quickly attracted the attention of a general, who rushed over with a big knife and shouted: "Su Fei is here, where will the thief go!" ”
Li Dian was furious, and killed Su Fei with a spear in his hand, "Nameless, dare to be presumptuous in front of Li Dian, suffer death!" ”
"Dangdangdang······" I saw that Su Fei and Li Dian were inseparable.
After fighting more than a dozen moves, Li Dian regretted a little, now most of the soldiers are in a situation of being slaughtered, if he can't kill Su Fei in time, I'm afraid that he will also be dragged away here, and immediately forced Su Fei back with a few consecutive deadly plays, hacked a Jingzhou soldier to death and threw it at Su Fei, and then quickly rushed to the outside of the barracks.
Su Fei was blocked by the corpse, furious, and pushed the corpse away, and when he wanted to chase and kill Li Dian, he was already blocked by the Cao army's rebels, so he had to fight hard to kill the Cao army's rebels.
"Surrender and don't kill, surrender and don't kill!" As Su Fei shouted, the Jingzhou army under him also shouted that they would surrender and not kill, and the soldiers of the Cao army surrendered on their knees without thinking about it.
When he led his troops to clear and force down the Cao army in the barracks and chased them to the east city gate, Li Dian was leading hundreds of Cao army soldiers to fight fiercely with the Jingzhou army guarding the city gate.
It turned out that after the Cao army fell asleep, the Jingzhou army hiding in the city dispersed and assaulted, part of the Cao army attacked the four city gates, and part followed Su Fei to attack the military camp, and the defenders of the four city gates were not many, and they were quickly captured, and Li Dian rushed here with more than 200 people and immediately fought with the Jingzhou army here, but fortunately, Su Fei came in time with his troops.
