Chapter 465: Xianbei Reinforcements
There have already been meteor horses reported to Linzi, Xu Sheng and Ding Fengyi are still unfinished, and Taishi enjoys the newborn calves, and they have asked for orders to fight.
Zhou Yu said: "Qingzhou to the west is the territory of Mount Tai, the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, we only have the land of Qingzhou, even if the enemy is defeated, we can't go deep alone." If Xiahoudun defends against the danger, the two armies will face off again, and next year the Wei army can recruit men and horses from Hebei, and we will suffer from the enemy on our backs. ”
Tai Shici nodded and said: "What the Governor said is extremely true, now that General Liu has arrived in Hefei, I am afraid that the hearts of the people in the army are undecided. Cao thief ordered Xiahou to take Qingzhou, and wanted to fight Huainan again after the trouble, and could not fight. If you can lure the enemy deeper, break Xiahoudun, and then go south to meet General Liu, it is a long-term strategy. ”
Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Ziyi and I coincide, General Liu still needs time to stabilize the army's heart, I am about to deal with Xiahoudun first, slowly defeated, so that he is unable to fight again, and then go south to join General Liu, Cao thief will break his courage." ”
Xu Sheng hurriedly said: "The Wei army is coming violently, and there is no danger to defend when crossing the Zihe River, so you must guard against it." ”
"I have my own arrangements!" Zhou Yu smiled slightly.
Then he arranged a strategy, so that Xu Sheng and Ding Feng each led an army to meet the enemy, Tai Shi Xiang refused to hold the river bank, and Tai Shi Ci was left to discuss the enemy's strategy.
Ding sent his troops to the west bank and ordered the soldiers to prepare their boats, and soon saw a group of cavalry galloping towards them, and the horses' hooves trampled on the snow, and it was foggy, as if it was snowing heavily.
In the blink of an eye, the Wei army approached, the cavalry all had a rough appearance, a wide forehead and a nose, and a fur hat to protect the neck.
Ding Feng immediately asked sharply, "Are you the rescuer invited by the Cao thief?" ”
Seeing that Ding Feng was short, Yuwen Horseshoe Crab became more and more disdainful, shook the blade in his hand, and hummed: "Dongwu Xiaoer, can you afford my axe?" ”
His weapon is a two-edged mountain axe, similar in shape to a horseshoe crab, with a blade at the front end, a spear head sticking out in the middle, and an iron nail is made around it, which can be cut and pierced, weighing sixty catties, and he once won the title of Xianbei warrior with this weapon.
"Fish and turtle gangsters, dare to shout here, suffer death!" Ding Feng smiled coldly and urged the horse to shoot out.
Yuwen horseshoe crab stepped forward and slashed at Ding Feng, two rows of spikes made a sharp sound of breaking the wind, Ding Feng didn't dare to fight hard, collected the gun to avoid it, and stabbed it with his backhand.
Yuwen horseshoe crab relied on his height and strength, turned the big axe, and actually used it as a shield, and in the loud noise, a spark appeared on the axe.
The two horses staggered, Yuwen horseshoe crab circle horse chased, Ding Feng danced the spear to fight with it, but four or five together, he was shocked by the big axe and his arms were numb, he sat unsteadily on the horse, couldn't parry, and turned the horse away.
"Hahaha, it's really Jiangdong rats, it's vulnerable, chase!" Yuwen laughed and chased after him with an axe.
The Xianbei army roared with joy, shouting and urging the horses to wave their swords to cover up, which was their common wolf tactic on the grassland.
Ding Feng rushed to the shore, and when he saw that the soldiers were in confusion, Yuwen Horseshoe Crab was in a hurry, and he didn't dare to dismount, so he urged the horse to flee upstream.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Jun jumped off the river bank and boarded the boat, waving their weapons together, and the boat rushed out on the ice, and the scene was chaotic.
The Xianbei army was overjoyed, chased to the shore, did not stop, and jumped down the river one after another, whistling and preparing to chase and kill.
Boom Boom –
The next moment, I saw a screaming and neighing sound on the river, the war horses could not stand on the ice, they slipped and fell, people turned over on their backs, people and horses were huddled together, and countless casualties were killed.
Yuwen Horseshoe Crab was staring at Ding Feng chasing after him, when he heard the person behind him shouting horse neighing, looking back, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he roared angrily: "A group of fools, can horses cross the river like this?" ”
They live in Mobei all the year round, the river freezes in winter, the narrow road is sprinkled with mud and sand when crossing the ice, and the horse's feet are wrapped in linen animal skins in the wide place to prevent slipping, how can they rush into it like this?
Seeing that the Wu soldiers on the other side were already releasing arrows, Yuwen Horseshoe Crab had no choice but to abandon Ding Feng and come back to command the men and horses, but in the blink of an eye, four or five hundred cavalry fell on the ice and could not struggle.
The soldiers who rushed to the river were already dizzy, some broke their heads on the spot, their brains burst, and they were killed and injured by a burst of arrows by the Wu army.
Yuwen Horseshoe Crab was so angry that his eyes were red, and he ordered the soldiers to carry sand and pave the road on the ice, but at this time the Wu army had already retreated, leaving only the wounded soldiers all over the ground.
The Xianbei army crossed the river and continued to pursue, until the city of Linzi, scolding and shouting for battle, obviously they had won, but they lost their men and horses, and there was nowhere to vent their anger, and they ordered the soldiers to insult together.
The Wu army was humiliated, Xu Sheng went out of the city to fight again, and more than ten times were defeated by Yuwen horseshoe crabs, and returned to the city in embarrassment.
In the afternoon, Xiahoudun led the troops to arrive, and heard that although hundreds of people were lost, Ding Feng and Xu Sheng were not Yuwen horseshoe crabs' opponents, so they couldn't help but be overjoyed and rewarded Yuwen horseshoe crabs.
Seeing that Linzi City was wrapped in ice, as if wearing a layer of extremely thick armor, it was difficult to attack the city for a while, so he ordered his men and horses to retreat to the river bank and camp to discuss countermeasures.
The generals celebrated in the tent, and Xiahoudun asked: "Zhou Yu watered the city, it is difficult to attack it urgently, what are your good plans?" ”
Zhong Jinyan said: "Ice and snow melt when it encounters fire, you can order people to prepare more firewood, grass and trees, and pile them under the city tomorrow, which can not only melt the ice, but also smoke the Wu army, so that its morale is low." ”
Yuwen laughed and said: "This method is good, we are hunting in the mountains, if there are wild beasts hiding in the nest, we will use smoke to force them out, Zhou Yu will not escape this time." ”
"In this way, even if you can't burn Wu Jun, you have to roast them." Xiahoudun was overjoyed, so he divided his troops to cut down trees around overnight.
Early the next morning, the Wei army surrounded the city of Linzi, and the soldiers carried trees, piled them up under the city, and set them on fire with oil and firewood.
The fire was raging, and black smoke rose into the sky, surrounding the entire city, and soon the ice melted, and the river spread to all sides, and the Wei army had to retreat.
The fire burned for most of the day, and Xiahoudun stared at the smoke with one eye in the distance, unable to see the situation in the city clearly, but was startled by the mirror image in front of him.
It turned out that although the ice on the city wall melted, the water spread all around, and in this season when the water turned into ice, the ground soon froze again, and it was impossible to attack the city at all, so I had to order the soldiers to prepare sand and pave the road.
Tossed overnight, the Wei army was exhausted, and went to bed early at night, and in the second half of the night, suddenly the drums of the left camp shook the sky, and it was the Wu army that attacked the camp, busy and hurried to meet the battle.
Xiahoudun personally rushed to the left camp, saw that it was Ding Feng's sneak attack, stepped forward to fight with him, just a few battles, but saw a fire burning in the northwest direction of the right camp.
At this time, it was almost dawn, the northwest wind was tight, and it spread in a blink of an eye, forming a sea of fire, the whole camp was on fire, and the flames went straight to the sky, reflecting the red sky, not much smaller than the fire of the day.
"Xiahoudun, this fire is back to you!" Ding Feng laughed and led his troops to retreat.
Xiahoudun couldn't help but think of the situation when the battle of Bowang was played by Liu Qi, and said angrily: "Jiangdong rats, they will only sneak attack, but it's a pity that they are not Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, and they swear to avenge this!" ”
