No. 240 Yang Xin
Tatecheng, Tai Shici and Xu Huang have been in the city for a few days, except for the first day when Yuan Tan sent troops to fight, the rest are all hung up without fighting cards and cannot be held.
It's not that Yuan Tan doesn't want to compete with Tai Shici and the others, but there are no generals under him who dare to fight.
On the first day, the general who went out of the city to fight was named He Mao, and when Le'an was defeated, Yuan Shao was worried that Tatecheng would be sent to assist Yuan Tan.
At the same time, there was another general named Wang Mo.
Because He Mao had never seen Tai Shici and didn't know the depths, he took the initiative to ask for help.
Although He Mao was not a general under Yuan Shao, he had good ability, and if it weren't for this, Yuan Shao would not have been able to send him to assist Yuan Tan.
And Yuan Tan also wanted to attack Taishi Ci when he was tired, and if he could win the last game by luck, it would be of great benefit to the improvement of morale.
Who knew that the two armies clashed, and Tai Shici didn't use Tai Shici to make a move, only Xu Huang went out to fight and beheaded He Mao with two axes.
It's really neat.
In Yuan Tan's thoughts, even if he didn't win the first battle, he could force Tai Shici back, but who would have thought that this was the result.
The generals in the city looked at Xu Huang, whose axe blade was dripping blood, and Tai Shici, who looked arrogant and majestic, and they were all frightened.
From then on, no matter how Yuan Tan urged him, no one dared to ask for an order to fight.
Yuan Tan had no choice but to order the city gate to be closed and not out.
Tai Shici and Xu Huang also set up camp outside the city and attacked for several days.
Although Yuan Tan didn't dare to go out of the city, there were many soldiers and horses in the city after all, and it was not a loss to defend the city.
However, as time passed, although the city walls were not attacked, it was only a matter of time.
Tai Shici and Xu Huang are both masters of using soldiers, and although the two of them have been attacking the city for days, they also have hidden mysteries.
Sometimes they feint on one side and attack on three sides, sometimes they attack on all sides, sometimes they attack at night, and sometimes they use tired tactics.
When Tai Shi Ci rose, he would also ride his horse beyond the range of the bows and arrows of the defenders in the city, shoot the defenders with a strong bow, or shoot down Yuan Tan Shuaiqi, in short, use various means to hit the morale of the Yuan army, making it tired and miserable.
Because of this, whether it was Tai Shici or Xu Huang, they all saw a little timidity on the faces of the defenders, indicating that the morale of the Yuan army at this time was gradually declining.
Morale is a very magical thing, you can't see it, you can't touch it, but you can really feel it.
At this time, Tai Shi Ci was riding on a war horse, carrying a treasure carving bow and holding an iron spear in his hand, watching the army in front of him attack the city.
At this time, it was noon, and the army had already attacked in turn throughout the morning, although there were many casualties, but the Yuan army defending the city suffered even greater casualties.
Tai Shi Ci looked at the crumbling city wall, and said to Xu Huang beside him: "According to this scene, within three days, the city will be broken!" ”
Xu Huang was holding a big axe, majestic, looking at the smooth offensive ahead, he nodded and replied: "What Ziyi said is good, the morale of the Yuan army is low, and it will be difficult to hold it for a long time!" ”
Tai Shi Ci looked at Yuan Tan, who was commanding the city on the city wall, suddenly remembered something, and said to Xu Huang: "Calculate the time, Yuan Shao's reinforcements are expected to be on the way, the two of us are careless, we have a long night, we need to break through the city before the reinforcements arrive, otherwise what faces do the two of us have to see the lord?" ”
When Koji Yi gave the order, he deliberately emphasized that the two of them must capture Tateshi, otherwise military law will be involved.
Xu Huang replied: "I also have this intention, if the two of us lead the troops separately, attack day and night, and strive to break the city as soon as possible." ”
Tai Shici was overjoyed after hearing this, and replied: "Gongming's words are very good, so Gongming will go to rest first, how about I come to attack the city during the day, and hand it over to Gongming at night?" ”
After hearing this, Xu Huang replied: "Good! ”
After that, he gave up his hands with Tai Shici, and then returned to the camp to rest.
Tai Shi Ci looked at Yuan Tan on the city wall, smiled slightly, took off the treasure bow on his back, and then galloped towards the city wall, and when he was close to the front of the arrow, he drew an arrow in his hand, and did not aim, and aimed at Yuan Tan is arrow.
Yuan Tan was frightened when he saw Tai Shi Ci coming with a bow to kill, and hurriedly bent down and squatted down.
"Boom!" With a crisp sound, Tai Shi Ci shot an arrow on the flagpole behind Yuan Tan, if Yuan Tan hadn't squatted down in advance, an arrow would have been shot at his throat.
Yuan Tan was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head, he covered his head with his hands and shouted loudly: "Rapid archery, rapid archery!" ”
After speaking, under the cover of his own soldiers holding shields, he bent down and ran down the city wall, leaving only the helpless eyes of the generals.
Tai Shi Ci finished shooting an arrow, which attracted the soldiers to applaud, only to see Tai Shi Ci put the bow on his back, and then raised his spear and shouted: "The one who breaks the city and climbs first, the reward is 100 gold; Whoever captures Yuan Tan alive, I will ask the lord for credit for him, and he will be promoted to three levels in a row! ”
When his soldiers saw Tai Shi Ci's promise, they were all overjoyed, and they shouted and climbed towards the cloud ladder, and for a while, Yuan Jun in the city suddenly felt the pressure doubled.
……
Yan Liang and Chun Yuqiong led 30,000 troops to aid Tatecheng, and the two traveled all the way to the south day and night, not daring to delay for a moment.
As Yuan Shao said, the matter of Tatecheng is small, and the matter of Yuan Tan is big, if his eldest son has three long and two short, the blow to Yuan Shao's reputation will be very huge.
Because they came all the way in Jizhou, so the two did not need to be too cautious, the speed of the march was very fast, at this time they had reached Yangxin, and after Yangxin was the county of Yanci, and then they entered the boundary of Qingzhou, and the city was not far away.
Seeing that it was getting late, Chun Yuqiong said to Yan Liang: "General Yan, it's getting late, the soldiers are already tired after a day of travel, why don't you find a flat place to rest for a night?" ”
Yangxin is in the yang of the letter water, and there are many rivers in the county, so there is a saying that "the county is in the middle of the river".
Yan Liang looked at the sky and glanced back at the soldiers, and saw that they were sweating and panting, and nodded in agreement: "It's not far from Tatecheng now, so it's good to rest for the night." ”
Seeing that Yan Liang agreed, Chun Yuqiong immediately ordered the soldiers to set up camp in an open and flat area by the river.
The march began before dawn, and at this time there were already people and horses, and as soon as Yan Liang gave the order, some soldiers sat on the ground.
Yan Liang also jumped off his horse and sat on the boulder next to him to rest, and ordered the deputy general to command the soldiers to set up camp, and set up some soldiers to fetch water for cooking by the river.
Chun Yuqiong was already smoking in her throat, jumped off her horse and threw the reins to the soldiers, and strode to the shore to drink water in her hand.
After drinking happily, Chun Yuqiong said to herself while washing her face with water: "Everyone says that there is a lot of water, why is the river so shallow?" ”
I suddenly thought that it was spring, which might be related to the lack of rain, and I didn't think about it.
The camp was quickly set up, the rice was cooked, Chun Yuqiong walked into Yan Liang's tent with a pot of wine in his hand, and said with a smile: "After marching for days, I am tired, I have a pot of good wine here, and I have come to drink with the general to relieve fatigue and sleepiness!" ”
Yan Liang saw that Chun Yuqiong wanted to drink, and immediately said angrily: "Presumptuous, now that it is the time of the march, you dare to drink, do you want to ignore my military law?" ”
Chun Yuqiong heard Yan Liang's reprimand, and was slightly annoyed, but she didn't dare to attack because she was wrong, so she had to flatter: "The general's lesson is that I don't drink this and abandon the wine outside the camp." ”
After saying that, he only promised to leave, but he was secretly angry in his heart and Yan Liang didn't know how to lift up.
Chun Yuqiong is Yuan Shao's old friend, and he is an old man in the army, and he is very trusted by Yuan Shao, so Yan Liang is inconvenient to say more, and after he leaves, he said angrily: "If you are so greedy, you will make a mistake sooner or later!" ”
