Volume 2 The Rise of Jingzhou Chapter 486 - Nanyang Death Battle
"Break through Wancheng, occupy Nanyang, and take Jingzhou, just today!"
With Na Tian Chou's words, this Xiahou Xuan finally made up his mind and directly issued a few last orders to Na Wancheng.
"Soldiers, lift up your weapons! Look at the city in front of you! Lift up your weapons"
Xiahoudun, the general of the Cao army, who covered one of his eyes and even half of his face with brocade from Xichuan, sat on his war horse with a spear in his hand at this time.
Showing off his martial arts and showing off his might, he has the style of an ancient famous general.
If you just look at the appearance, it is really quite similar to the ancient name.
And behind him, it is not only tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horses gathered from the Central Plains and even Luoyang and other places that followed him.
There are even a lot of generals of the Cao army who followed Xiahoudun back from Hebei, some of them are generals from Hebei, and some are veterans of this Cao army!
Such as his current deputy Zhang He, another deputy general Gao Ran, and veteran Wang Tu and others.
At this time, Xiahou was showing off his martial arts, and the generals and many soldiers and horses behind him were even more morale-like, and they had been waiting for a long time at this time, and the excitement in their hearts was already beyond words.
Just waiting for Xiahoudun's last angry shout, they will not hesitate to rush towards each other....
And Xiahoudun naturally understood this, and at this time, he directly raised the spear in his hand, and then immediately ordered to start attacking.
"All the soldiers listen to the order, break Wancheng today, this will..."
"General Xiahou is slow!
Just when Xiahoudun was about to give the last order, just as he was about to personally take all the soldiers and horses to break through Wancheng directly, a voice came from behind him again, interrupting his orders and words.
"General Xiahou, what are you going to do!" At this time, Tian Chou came from behind with a somewhat gloomy face, and looked at Xiahoudun, who was about to do it, even more helpless.
He was convinced, and he had only heard that this guy had no courage but no ability to lead troops.
It's not so clear between them, but now that I know it, this is not some groundless rumor, it's true!
And Tian Chou's face was a little ugly, this Xiahou Dun looked at Tian Chou who came to stop him, his face was also very ugly, and he didn't even understand what this Tian Chou meant.
"Zitai, what do you mean, wasn't it Zitai that you told the general, now that we have reached this point, then we have to fight to the end?
Entering Ben General, he will directly lead his troops to conquer Wancheng and completely open the way for the upcoming Mengde.
Zitai, don't say more, this battlefield is dangerous, you can push it away for the time being, lest this knife and gun have no eyes, and the stray arrows will ruthlessly hurt your life! ”
After Xiahoudun finished speaking, he even directly ordered people to take this Tian Chou away... No, it's to protect him from leaving!
At this moment, Tian Chou had nothing to say, and the violently undulating chest could only prove that he was still alive, not even how long he could live.
When everyone was about to "escort" him away, this Tian Chou not only did not obey the order, but even stepped forward again and pressed the arm that Xiahou was about to raise high.
"Please also ask General Xiahou to wait a little, of course this Wancheng is going to attack, but it is not such a way to play!
We have been driving straight into morale, but the soldiers have also been running around for a long time, and even many of them have been fighting for many years, and their bodies and spirits have long been exhausted.
The reason why Tian Chou stopped the general today was to tell the general that this battle was not such a way to fight, and we would be able to go down to Wancheng without using swords..."
"Hahaha..."What Tian Chou didn't expect was that this Xiahou didn't want to ask in surprise after hearing Tian Chou's words.
On the contrary, he laughed directly, and even couldn't help coughing with laughter.
"What do you mean by this..."
"Hey... Zitai, you really do everything, it's just..."That Xiahou couldn't help but sigh again at this time, and looked at Na Tian Chou for a long time before continuing to talk to him.
"It's just that this time Zitai is probably going to be disappointed.
Zitai, you don't know, the guard of Wancheng is not someone else, it is the famous general of Jingzhou.
In recent years, although this Wenpin has not been as famous as the Kuai Yue Kuailiang brothers, as well as Cai Mao and Huang Zu and others, he is also one of the few famous generals in Jingzhou.
And this person has a rigorous personality, with that... In the words of His Majesty, this clerk is a man who does not eat oil and salt!
In fact, Ben Jiang is not only going to fight and rush, before Ben Jiang came here, the vanguard general Li Dian had already attacked this Nanyang County Zhiwan City several times.
Even we didn't attack directly, we had tried many ways before..."
When Xiahoudun spoke, he could be described as practicing and sighing, and that appearance was really helpless and sad.
But this time, before he finished his own words, Xiahoudun had already been interrupted by Na Tian Chou with a direct chuckle.
It was a little similar to the previous Xiahoudun approach, which made Xiahoudun can't help but wonder if this guy is taking revenge on himself.
It's still the intentional kind.
"I will understand what Yuan means to you, but Yuan Rang.... You're really wrong! Tian Chou shook his head directly at Na Xiahoudun at this time, and then whispered to him.
"Yuan you don't have to worry so much about this war, although the old man has not heard of the name of Wen Ping, but the old man knows that this Wen Ping can appear here.
And if you do this, then this person must be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
Whether it's because of Liu Bei or because of Liu Qi, in short, since he appeared here at such a time, then he must be a difficult person to deal with!
But... Just because he's a hard guy doesn't mean that others are just as bad. ”
"Huh?" That Xiahoudun couldn't help frowning when he listened to Tian Chou's words, he seemed to understand, and he didn't seem to understand.
Especially he understood it at first, but with Na Tian Chou's words, he became more and more incomprehensible.
Finally, looking at Tian Chou and frowning, he was really a little helpless before asking.
"Can Zitai explain what you mean? Sincere... I didn't understand! ”
Hey..... That's it, let's see for yourself. That Tian Chou also seemed to be helpless, and directly yelled at the rear after a sigh, "Come on, bring that person up!" ”
With a loud shout from Tian Chou, a very restrained young man was brought to Xiahou Dun by several Cao soldiers who were originally responsible for protecting Tian Chou.
The cowering appearance seemed to make Xiahoudun very unhappy.
Xiahoudun, as the general of the Cao army, not to mention anything else, at least he is a person who is really brave and likes heroes.
He is Cao Mengde's confidant, and even to the point that as long as it is the person he proposes to name, as long as it is the person he recommends, then he will definitely be trusted and reused by Cao Mengde.
This also made many people have some thoughts about Xiahoudun, and wanted to let Cao Mengde see himself through Xiahoudun.
But unfortunately, although this Xiahoudun is not very good at leading troops to fight, this pair of eyes that look at people is really good.
It seems that this Tian Chou naturally can enter his eyes, but to this guy in front of him.
Even if Xiahoudun knew that he was not here to seek officials, he still saw his countless problems at a glance.
is this kind of person, if he were usually a person who would have been blasted out.
Of course, at this time, he will not be the slightest bit kind to this guy.
"Who is this?"
"Nanyang Wenhou!" Tian Chou pointed directly at that guy and pointed out his identity, "In his own words, he is the son of the cousin of Wen Ping, the guard of Wancheng!" ”
When Tian Chou said this, his face was also flat, although there was no change in his expression, but this face made Xiahou Dun, who was already quite familiar with him, understand.
This guy doesn't like this guy who doesn't look like a hero!
Of course, after hearing Tian Chou's words, this Xiahoudun saw Wen Hou beside Tian Chou again, but he immediately became very kind.
If nothing else, on that face, there is still the ferocious look that he wanted to eat this guy alive before.
It's as if the two of them are best friends who haven't seen each other for years....
But even so, Wen Hou was still trembling, for fear that if a cold eye floated over him, he would be dragged down and beheaded.
Looking at Wen Hou who was cowering, this Xiahou Dun's brows couldn't help but frown tightly, and then looked at this Wen Hou, and then looked at Tian Chou who was beside Wen Hou with a flat face.
Soon he understood what Tian Chou was thinking.
"Wen Hou.... Are you trying to persuade him to surrender? ”
Although Xiahoudun's ability is lacking in some aspects, after all, he has followed Cao Mengde to fight all year round, although he is not very good at fighting, but he is also good in other aspects.
Otherwise, just like Cao Hong, if he can't do anything but make money, even if he has the grace to save his life, no matter how much Cao Mengde wants to pull him, he can't pull him.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that this Xiahoudun also knows some things better.
Besides, this kind of thing of using the enemy's people to persuade the enemy to surrender is not a very uncommon thing.
"Yuan Rang...."Tian Chou looked at Xia Houdun with a helpless face at this time, "Of course the old man understands your thoughts and choices."
But please don't forget that this Nanyang is no longer the Nanyang of the past.
For so many years, the old man heard that Liu Xuande and Cao Gong's soldiers and horses were fighting back and forth in the land of Nanyang, and they were torn up for so many years.
Even though this Nanyang has been stable for all these years, it has long been erosive before.
Don't you know that?
The people of Nanyang want to live, and they have had enough of this perennial war.
The people of Nanyang are like this, isn't this the case of Nanyang's family?
That Wen Ping is a person who wants to defend to the death, but Yuan makes you not forget that this Wen Ping is not alone.
The Wen family originally wanted to be loyal to Cao Gong, but now they have seen this scene and seen Cao Gong's army of soldiers and horses.
Naturally, this is unbearable.
Why don't I take advantage of this? ”
Tian Chou's ability is beyond doubt, and he knows very well that although the soldiers and horses under Xiahou Dun's command are strong at this time, although their morale is high.
But the physical and mental exhaustion of the soldiers is also irresistible and cannot be ignored.
In this case, it would be great if it could be completed in one fell swoop.
But once the two sides reach an impasse, then this matter is really difficult to do.
Stopping now will indeed affect some morale, but compared to the stalemate between the two sides, this sudden turn of events is completely different.
Therefore, Tian Chou did not hesitate to interrupt Xiahou Dun's words and orders.
At the same time, in Tian Chou's words, this Xiahou Dun also understood, and then couldn't help but nod slowly.
"Hmm." Xiahoudun looked at Na Tian Chou and didn't say anything in the end, and then glanced at Gao Lan, the deputy general beside him, and asked him to pacify the soldiers and horses, but he never let them go back to the camp directly.
After waiting for the best of these things, Xiahoudun came directly to Na Wen Houda, and snorted coldly at Na Wen Hou with a fierce face....
"Since Zitai has said so.
Then today Ben will give you a chance, if you can't let Na Wen Ping open the gate of Wancheng today, Ben will personally break open the gate of Wancheng!
You can think about the rest for yourself! ”
Xiahoudun's words made that Wenhou even more shocked, and he quickly bowed down again and again, and then rushed towards Wancheng under the gaze of Xiahoudun and Tian Chou....
At this moment, Wen Hou's heart was full of trepidation and excitement.
The reason for the panic was because he knew that although this Xiahoudun had a good personality, he also did what he said.
It's even murderous!
The most ferocious and undisciplined soldiers and horses in Cao Mengde's hands were his Xiahoudun of the same age.
Therefore, he would never suspect that Xiahoudun was just scaring himself.
But......
"Uncle... Uncle! Under the city of Wancheng, Wen Hou's voice was full of crying and roared towards Wen Ping, "Uncle, open the city gate quickly, my nephew is Wen Hou..."
"I know who you are, just say something!"
Wen Ping stood on the city wall with his sword, looking at his nephew Wen Hou below without a smile, let alone opening the door to put it in.
"Uncle, the head of the family has an order..."
"I am the Lieutenant of Nanyang under the command of Jingzhou Thorn Shi, and the General of Hengye Zhonglang under the command of General Zhennan, what does the head of the family have to do with me!"
Wen Ping's sudden yell directly made Wen Hou freeze there, his face embarrassed.
"Uncle..."
"On the battlefield, there is no uncle, only Jingzhou general Wenpin!"
"Uncle.."
"Stand down!" At this time, Xiahoudun's voice came out from behind Wen Hou, and Xiahou Dun, who had been paying attention to the situation in Wancheng, already knew at this time that Wen Ping could not be shaken by reason.
"Wen Ping was promoted by Liu Biao to the end of the micro, and it was Liu Biao who single-handedly sent him to his current position, except for Liu Biao and Liu Qi and Liu Cong's orders, he will not obey anyone.
Even if you wait for the order of the court to come up now, it will not help either.... These people are the real generals. ”
Xiahoudun is not a famous general, but he understands Wen Ping's intentions, just because he and Wen Ping are the same kind of person, and if he wants him to surrender, he can only be ordered by Jingzhou Mu or Jingzhou Assassin Shi.
But now he doesn't have either!
"Gao Yan!"
"The last general!"
"Siege!"
With Xiahoudun's roar, the sound of drums sounded directly, and the army rushed towards Wancheng frantically, and the huge Wancheng fell into chaos again...
"Yuan Rang!" Tian Chou still wanted to persuade again, "At this time, we need to quickly take Wancheng and even the entire Nanyang, so that we can bulldoze Jingzhou before Liu Bei."
Fighting to the death is not the best strategy! ”
"Xiahoudun knows that fighting to the death is the next strategy, but now this strategy is the most suitable method!" With a wave of his hand, Xiahoudun continued to order the army to attack without the slightest intention of stopping.
"You...."
"Kill!" Gao Ran had already dismounted, and rushed towards the city wall with a spear in his hand and a daredevil, and Wen Ping also directly drew his sword and ordered at the same time.
For a while, the rain of arrows flew down, and Wen Dai, the son of Wen Ping, rushed forward in person, as the first batch of soldiers to defend the city, ready to fight with Gao Ran at any time.
There is also a close friend Wen Xiu, who has been hired by Wen since he was a child, and eats and sleeps with Wen Dai...
"Defend the city today, if you don't win, you will die!" Wen Dai looked at Gao Ran and the others who rushed over, and then tore off a strand of cloth from the hem and tied the Huanshou knife directly to the palm of his hand.
Then he looked at his best friend beside him, Wen Xiu, who was also a very favored kid by his father Wen Ping, and showed a smile.
"When I was a child, I always felt that my father was better to you, an outsider, than to me, my own son, and he was often harsh on you, have you blamed me all these years?"
"Don't talk about this during the big war." Wen Xiu and Wen Ping have nothing to do with each other in blood, but now in the face of Cao Cao's army rushing to kill, his calmness and bloodiness are more like Wen Ping.
Looking at this guy who was trained by his father, Wen Dai couldn't help but sneer.
"The most annoying thing is that you are waiting for people, get out of the way!" A sneak attack directly caused Wen Xiu a pain in his waist, and then Wen Xiu felt that he was being dragged to the rear.
At this time, Wen Dai looked at Gao Ran, who was about to rush to the head of the city under the rain of arrows, and laughed.
"Wen Xiu, if your brother dies, you have to give the old man a pension! I've allowed you to be his son..."
After that, Wen Dai rushed directly to Gao Ran in front of him, he knew that he was not Gao Ran, a world-famous brave opponent, but he was not a timid person who would sit back and watch the enemy succeed in his brother.
In the battle of Wancheng, hundreds of people were killed and thousands wounded on both sides in one day.
Wen Dai, the only son of Wen Ping, was stabbed to death by Gao Lanbu, and was seriously injured and repelled before he died.
The general Wen Ping personally shot his nephew Wen Hou, took Wen Dai's blood and smeared it on his body, and wanted to live and die with Wancheng.
"The lord asked me to garrison Wancheng when he was dying, and if Wancheng was broken, Wen was killed!
The land of Jingzhou cannot be half an inch with people. ”
