Chapter 359: Dian Wei captures Gao Shun
Lu Bu, who was watching the battle from a distance, didn't expect Gao Shun to turn a temptation into a direct attack. It seemed that Jun was weaker than expected, but since Gao Shun had already climbed the city wall, Lu Bu could not continue to stay where he was, and he immediately ordered more than 10,000 people who were originally building a camp to gather and go to the battlefield one after another to prepare to take the city in one fell swoop.
Under the city wall, Gao Shun's subordinates, who had originally climbed towards the city wall, suddenly lost contact with Gao Shun, and they also desperately organized people to hook the two ladders back to the wall battlements. Basically, four or five held on to the ladder, and then the others desperately climbed up.
Gao Shun also felt that the atmosphere was wrong after Dian Wei led the people to overturn the two cloud ladders in a row, and the defenders who were originally fighting with him quietly dispersed, and the space became larger, but soon the surroundings were replaced by elite heavy infantry that were as heavily armed as the trapped camp, and these heavy infantry were all horizontal swords. Gao Shun has been polishing on the battlefield all year round, and at a glance, he knows that the defenders' weapons are very sharp. These defenders besieging themselves are definitely not simple, maybe they are all Wei Yun's personal guards.
Sure enough, as soon as the two sides fought, Gao Shun felt it???????????????? It's not good, more than 100 warriors on their side are completely at a disadvantage under the enemy's encirclement, which shouldn't be, because this is the most elite soldier under his command, and under his own leadership, he has been in Jiangxia, in Runan, in Lu, and in Yanzhou. Although they were knocked down by the defenders when they climbed the wall before, most of them managed to climb the wall, and if they were able to gather so many people soon, the enemy should have collapsed.
Now there is only one possibility of this situation, and that is that the defenders have deliberately left room for themselves. Since the enemy had left some strength, Gao Shun did not dare to continue to fight and rush, he took a look at the battlefield and decided to lead people to rush towards the city, because as long as a gap was opened, other companions who came up from the cloud ladder could quickly gather in this direction. It is more beneficial to expand the battlefield with a continuous stream of follow-up troops!
Gao Shun was right, because in fact, at this moment, the two sides on the entire city wall at both ends were evenly matched, and even the attacker had an advantage, but as long as he held on until Lu Bu rushed to his side, his manpower advantage would be reflected. And if you just break through a gap, you will disrupt the deployment of the defenders.
But soon Dian Wei and his subordinates told Gao Shun with cruel facts that he was thinking too much, because Dian Wei and his two hundred people were waiting for Gao Shun here, so they were very physically strong, and their individual combat strength was also beyond that of the soldiers in the camp. The training of the two sides is very different, and the tactics of the two sides are completely different. The infantry under the command of Dian Wei, who is the strongest in the Wei Xuan army, is also second to none, and they are guarding around Wei Xuan on weekdays, and they are naturally very desperate when they get the opportunity today.
Clanging, poof, poof...... Gao Shun struggled to cut down a defender, but found a commotion behind him, and when Gao Shun turned around, he saw a strong man wielding a double iron halberd and firing the bow left and right, and the target turned out to be himself. Gao Shun had to interrupt the pace of continuing to charge towards the city, and turned around to kill Dian Wei. Gao Heshun knew that his people were limited, and he had to open the passage between the ladder and the city wall as soon as possible.
And as soon as he turned around, the defenders who had been retreating step by step immediately pressed the people around Gao Shun to retreat, and the encirclement became smaller and smaller.
】
Gao Shun tightened the big knife in his hand, he knew that the person in front of him was difficult to deal with, and he must do his best to kill this person as soon as possible, even if he could not join the other companions on the city wall, he must recapture the opening of the cloud ladder as soon as possible.
When, Gao Shun's big knife slashed towards Dian Wei vigorously, Dian Wei pouted, and the big iron halberd in his left hand was lifted from the bottom to the top, seemingly swinging away Gao Shun's attack very casually, and then with a big stride with his right foot, the big iron halberd in his right hand smashed over. Gao Shun was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly withdrew his big knife to block, but it was just the trace of Dian Wei's fall, although Gao Shun blocked it, but Dian Wei was very strong, and together with the big knife and Dian Wei's big iron halberd, he still smashed it towards Gao Shun. Gao Shun had to pull back, and at this time, a soldier in the camp struggled to block Gao Shun. At the same time, the big iron halberd in Dian Wei's left hand swept the person down with a sweep.
Dian Wei grinned and looked at Gao Shun, but his steps stepped forward without hurrying, and then the twin iron halberds waved left and right, swinging away several trapped camp soldiers who wanted to come to stop them.
Gao Shun took two steps back, adjusted his body, and slashed at Dian Wei again. This time, Dian Wei's double iron halberd clamped Gao Shun's big knife together, and went back, and then ???????????????? As soon as he was sent outside, Gao Shun stumbled and almost fell. Dian Wei followed closely with two steps, the double iron halberd waved left and right, and the person kicked sideways on Gao Shun's waist.
Although Gao Shun's force is also good, but Dian Wei has been planning for a long time, this time the foot is also accurate, a foot down, followed by people to Gao Shun, the double iron halberd swings away two soldiers who tried to come to help, the left foot on Gao Shun's body, the right hand iron halberd directly knocked Gao Shun's big knife, and then bent down and threw away the right hand iron halberd directly lifted Gao Shun from the ground.
Dian Wei then spun around and shouted: "Dian Wei is here, those who descend will not be killed!" ”
Dian Wei's sound shook like thunder, although the battle on the city wall was fierce, but the small battlefield around him was so loud, and the remaining soldiers in the camp suddenly followed the sound and found that the person who called himself Dian Wei was carrying his own general Gao Shun in his hand. And Dian Wei's own soldiers screamed and slashed, and the encirclement continued to shrink.
Wei Yun, who was paying close attention to the battle situation here in the distance, was overjoyed when he saw this, waved his hand behind him and said to the herald: "All reserves immediately go to the city wall and take down the enemy!" ”
There were more than 2,000 Wei Yun and more than 1,000 infantry and more than 1,000 archers in the city. After receiving the order, they got up from the ground and climbed up the slope to the city wall.
Objectively speaking, Gao Shun's tactics are almost successful, because his trapping camp is already occupying more than half of the Chen city wall, as long as the ladder continues to climb up, the defenders will be pushed into the city, once the city wall is occupied, nearly 10,000 people enter the city, and then 10,000 people brought by Lu Bu, 20,000 people are pressed on one city wall, unless the enemy transfers all the people from the other three gates, otherwise it will definitely not be able to stop. But at this moment, the east and west gates are also engaged in a diversion attack. Therefore, Wei Yun had no way to send reinforcements from other places.
But he didn't expect that victory was just around the corner, Dian Wei decisively cut off the connection between the two ladders and the city wall, even then there was still a chance, as long as Lu Bu arrived and set up the ladders, there would be a chance to counter-encircle.
But Dian Wei didn't give him a chance, or he had already calculated every step. The advantage of Gao Shun's army on the city wall was also conspired with Wei Yun, the purpose was to attract Gao Shun to come in person, and the characteristic of Gao Shun's trapping camp was to charge into battle under the leadership of Gao Shun. Gao Shun wanted to give the enemy a heavy blow in the stalemate between the two sides!
Gao Shun didn't expect that he was facing Dian Wei, and his trapping camp needed to face two thousand heavy infantry of the Xuanqin Guard. After Wei Yun gave the order, the entire city wall was like a huge force pushing Gao Shun's soldiers back!
To be precise, it was these recuperated heavy infantry who finally seized the opportunity to start a counterattack. On the one hand, panting and climbing the city wall and immediately throwing themselves into battle, on the other hand, there are more numerous and energetic heavy infantry, and the gap between the equipment and weapons of the two sides is also very large.
Just before Gao Shun could fully understand how he had gotten to pawn Weidang, there was an uproar on the city wall, as his men were retreating like a tide, overlapping with their companions who were desperately climbing up, trampling on each other, rolling down the ladder, and falling off the wall.
The attack is difficult to move an inch, every inch of land must be fought, and when retreating, it is a storm and clouds, and the tide is like a roar, and they all retreat under the city wall,???????????????? This is not over, the three thousand divine arm archers on the city wall no longer have any scruples at this time, and they have thrown them towards the city, and for a while arrows rained down, and those infantry without iron armor fell to the ground and wailed.
All this happened so fast that Lu Bu had just approached three hundred steps outside the city gate on his red rabbit horse when he saw Gao Shun's attacking soldiers retreat and retreat frantically.
Lu Bu knew that this time the temptation was over, and it felt normal to think about it, Wei Yun was the son of the Wei family after all, and it was impossible to let Gao Shun attack the city so easily. But soon he found out that something was wrong, because Gao Shun did not come back, and it seemed that not many people from Gao Shun's trapped camp had returned, and the screams under the city walls continued, and it was obvious that he had encountered a rain of arrows and arrows from the enemy.
Fortunately, there are no cavalry in Jiwu City, otherwise at this time, open the city gate and release the cavalry to pursue together, then there may not be much left of the 10,000 people under Gao Shun's command.
Fifty paces, one hundred paces, one hundred and fifty paces, two hundred paces, the retreating infantry did not escape from the range of the enemy's bow until they were two hundred paces away.
Lu Bu had seen this kind of divine arm bow in the Wei Xuan army, but he didn't expect that the Jiwu defenders were actually equipped with so much.
When most of the people retreated, Lu Bu asked people to count the casualties paid for this temptation of more than 2,000, most of which were shot through from behind by bows and arrows when retreating.
Of course, this is not the most important thing, when the battle stopped, Lu Bu saw the scene he was most unwilling to see, Dian Wei stood at the gate of the city and shouted to the city: "Lu Bu, Lu Bu, three family slaves!" ”
Lu Bu had long been accustomed to being scolded on the battlefield, but he heard this person's voice, and when he looked closely, it was really an acquaintance, and next to this old acquaintance stood a general under his command, Gao Shun!
Green doesn't frown, Dian Wei is the captain of Wei Xuan's personal guard, what is Dian Wei, so where is Wei Xuanhui? As for Zhao Yun, then there are more than 6,000 light cavalry and 2,000 heavy cavalry under his command, if he and Zhang Liao converge, then his infantry really can't withstand the impact of so many cavalry in the field.
And Gao Shun was captured again, which was really a disadvantage for his teacher, and it was a heavy blow to his own morale!
