Chapter 414: All or Nothing
Outside Beihai City, Liu Yi was worried about the attack on Beihai, when he suddenly heard that Cheng Xi was defeated, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to attack the city urgently.
Gongsun Yang persuaded: "The city of Beihai is strong, it was besieged by the Yellow Turban thieves back then, Kong Rong and other successive Taishou repaired it many times, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the general must not be rash. β
Liu Yi said angrily: "How can you care about personal grievances? Now that Cheng Xi's army is defeated, if he doesn't break the city when Zhou Yu comes first, and Beihai is taken by the Wu army, if I don't give up all my previous achievements, I will also be controlled everywhere when I take Qingzhou. β
Gongsun Yang said: "Even if Zhou Yu takes Beihai, Wu Jun is also aiming at Xuzhou, I will go north to join the main guild, and what does it matter if the south of the river is given to Eastern Wu?" β
Liu Yi sneered: "The military advisor has been in the Central Plains for many years, and he still doesn't know that the Central Plains people are treacherous and untrustworthy? Especially the people in Jiangdong are all heads and rats, and they are even more untrustworthy. If you really regard Zhou Yu as an ally, I am afraid that not only will you not be able to make meritorious achievements, but you will also die in a foreign country. β
Gongsun Yang was shocked: "Zhou Yu is a celebrity today, with a large number of instruments, how can he be untrustworthy? β
Liu Yi said: "Although Zhou Yu is a celebrity, he is also the commander of Jiangdong, if he is disturbed today, each is his master, as the so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating, if it is for the interests of Jiangdong, where does he care about the friendship between the two families?" β
Gongsun Yang also saw the deceit between many princes, and sighed: "The general is reasonable, but if he attacks Beihai, he is afraid of losing his troops, if Zhou Yu turns his eyes on it, how should he deal with it?" β
Liu Yi snorted coldly in his heart, this Gongsun Yang is called a military advisor, but he is timid and cautious, and he is indecisive, if it weren't for the face of the Gongsun family, he would have been sent back to Liaodong long ago.
At this time, he wanted to attack the city with all his might, and he also needed Gongsun Yang to dispatch the rear support, so he patiently explained: "Cheng Xi's army was defeated, Tian Yu was already alone, if he waited for the Wu army to Beihai, he could only be trapped in the city, I expected that he had the intention of retreating, and he would leave within a day or two, this is the time for us to make contributions." β
Gongsun Yang suddenly woke up and said with great joy: "General Gao Jian, if we take Beihai without blood before Zhou Yu arrives, our army will take the initiative in Qingzhou." β
"Yes!" Liu Yi ordered all battalions to be ready to fight at any time, and sent scouts to monitor the movements in Beihai, once Cao's army showed signs of retreat, they would immediately raise troops to chase and kill, and Tian Yu must not be allowed to retreat.
He also knew that Gongsun Yang was intimidated by Zhou Yu's name, so he was so timid, but in fact, the real confrontation, as long as the soldiers were used properly, it was nothing more than that.
On the same day, the Liaodong army stormed Beihai, and sure enough, it was found that the garrison of the Cao army was far less compact than in the previous days, and the vanguard army almost climbed to the top of the city several times.
Early the next morning, Liu Yi was eating in the camp, and the whole army would launch a fierce attack after half an hour, when suddenly the drums outside the camp gate were loud, and it was Tian Yu who took the initiative to come to fight.
Liu Yi was taken aback, put on his horse and came to the outside of the camp gate, and sure enough, when he saw Tian Yu in person, he said in a deep voice: "Tian Yu took the initiative to fight, and he must advance as a retreat, I am afraid that the defenders in the city are already retreating, so they will be chased and killed immediately." β
When the left and right generals heard the order, they immediately divided their troops into three gates and went straight to the North Sea from a distance.
Tian Yu was furious and shouted: "Liu Yi dog thief, dare to fight me to the death?" β
Liu Yi sneered: "Tian Yu, your little skill of carving insects is only suitable for deceiving the unscrupulous, how can you hide it from the general?" Today it will be done for you! β
Tian Yu saw that Cao Jun was outflanked backwards, and finally couldn't hold it back, and shouted and slapped the horse to kill the general, the two had not won or lost before, Liu Yi had always been unconvinced, and wanted to kill Tian Yu before the battle, with a strong reputation.
The two clashed in front of the battle, killing inseparably, barely fighting to more than 20 times, Tian Yu was obviously absent-minded, his moves were gradually chaotic, and he flickered a shot and left.
"Tian Yuxiu go!" Liu Yi roared, this time it was inevitable, and he immediately mobilized the army to rush forward to kill.
Tian Yu was defeated, Cao's army was in chaos, and he abandoned his armor and fled back, and he was about to go to the city, but he saw that the Liaodong army was already attacking the city, and the north gate set up a cloud ladder, throwing hooks and ropes from east to west, and the battle was fierce.
Tian Yu beat his horse and went around the city from the east gate, and the defenders in the city saw it, suddenly opened the south gate, and fled with Tian Yu.
Liu Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the southern city gate open, and he couldn't care about chasing Tian Yu, so he led his men and horses into the city first, and it was most important to occupy Beihai City.
Chasing Tian Yu along the way, only a thousand fine horsemen followed, and the rest of the army had already been thrown away, and the dull sound of horses' hooves sounded in the city gate hole, and the Liaodong army rushed into the city first.
Liu Yi urged the horse to whip up, and the horse entered the city, seeing that the defenders had already fled, and the number was small, and he was about to rush to the palace, when he suddenly heard the sudden sound of the drum overhead, and his heart couldn't help but sink.
Before he could react, the front army suddenly screamed and exclaimed, only to see that the front cavalry had just crossed the street, and then fell violently.
"Withdraw, go!"
Liu Yi didn't expect that there was an ambush in the city, so he hurriedly reined in his horse and turned back with a roar, and the cavalry in front was already crowded, and people shouted that the horses were neighing. Mess.
"Hahaha, Liu Yi dog thief, my father's plan in Ruzhong, today is your death!"
Tian Pengzu hid in the city gate tower, had been waiting for a long time, and saw that the Liaodong Army not only rushed into the city, but Liu Yi also came in person, waved his arms excitedly, and roared: "Release the arrowsβ"
The ambushes on the city and the rooftops were exhausted, and the crossbowmen fired arrows together, and the arrows rained down on the city, covering all the ground in an instant.
The Liaodong army is crowded before and after, can not advance or retreat, at this time the arrow rain falls, there is nowhere to avoid it, most of the people fall to the ground with arrows, only a few people hide in the city gate road, trample on each other, and there are countless casualties.
Liu Yi roared anxiously, he was hit by several arrows, and was just about to reach the gate of the city, but he saw the wood and stones on the city smashed down together, and a waist-thick wooden stake fell on the top of his head, and he struggled to push it away, shaking his blood and blood surged, and his eyes were full of stars.
At this time, most of the guards around him were shot off their horses, Liu Yi endured the pain, beat the horse and snatched into the city gate, saw the soldiers huddled together, and loudly scolded the rear army to go out, but heard screams outside the city.
It turned out that Tian Yu had already led his troops back, led the troops to block the gate of the city, and shot the Liaodong army that was about to withdraw with arrows, and there was no conflict at all.
When he was in chaos, suddenly countless firewood and grass fell on the city to report on his work, mixed with the smell of sulfur and fire oil, Liu Yi was so frightened that his face was colorless, and he could no longer care about commanding the soldiers, and forcibly urged the horse to rush.
But at the same time, firewood and grass were also thrown at the outer city gates, and fire arrows and torches fell from the sky, and a raging fire was ignited at the inner and outer city gates, and the war horses were frightened and neighed.
At the same time, the soldiers who had no time to dodge caught fire and squeezed into the city gate, and soon the flames were introduced, and the Liaodong army was burned so badly that the smell of burnt skin and flesh was pungent and unpleasant.
Liu Yi let out a low roar and slammed the butt of his gun into the horse's hips, and the mount was in pain, and he ran wildly, rushing out of the smoke and flames.
The men and horses crossed the wall of fire, but Liu Yi's face changed greatly, his scalp was numb, and he saw Cao Jun standing densely along the moat in front of him, aiming at the city gate with a bow and arrows, and the arrows were like ten thousand points of stars, gathering towards him.
