Chapter 341 The Green Dragon Knife reappears, Guan is here, and Gongming is dead!
The letter was written by Guan Yu to Yang Yi.
Why Yang Yi?
Because he had done Guan Yu's skills, it was Guan Yu who recommended him to Liu Bei, and he was a person that Guan Yu could trust.
As for it, why give it to him?
This is what Guan Yu wants to make sure of... His son Guan Lin's plan went smoothly.
can't let Chengdu have no movement, in case it is discovered by Cao Wei's eyeliner, it will be sideways.
In addition, Guan Yu didn't know if the eldest brother or the third brother would do anything out of the ordinary after hearing this information, and he had to balance the relationship between the two.
And we can't let Chengdu have no movement, and we can't let the eldest brother and third brother really lead troops to Jingzhou!
Therefore, he asked Yang Yi to tell them at the end, that is, before the eldest brother and third brother left for Jingzhou.
Of course, these... The messenger didn't know, and Yang Yi could only guess.
But in the end, he learned a fact:
- First, the second general is safe!
- Second, it's a conspiracy!
Thinking of this, Yang Yi couldn't help but sigh in her heart:
- "Has this conspiracy deceived even your own people?"
- "God bless the great man, God bless Jingzhou!"
…
…
Twenty miles southeast of Xiangyang, the military village of Pang Dejun.
Hunting in the yin wind, the yellow sand rolled up the broken banners shot by the crossbow arrows, and in the long sand, stones, tents, countless Wei soldiers who were shot to death showed a miserable appearance.
At this moment, under the illumination of the cold beam of light in the morning, the faces of these Wei soldiers turned pale one by one... One by one, it was cold.
Blood poured out from their bodies, from where the bolts touched their skin.
Thirty-five thousand heads, all over this dilapidated military village, let people pick, these heads, just take out some, it is a great achievement.
And the crossbow bolts that were everywhere.
In the past, the straw boats borrowed arrows, and 100,000 bows and arrows could shoot through all the straw men on the twenty boats, but now these are millions of crossbow arrows, enough to cover the entire camp and every place.
This is an indiscriminate blow, and there is no way to avoid it.
Lu Yan and Liao Hua also rushed here, and Hou Yin was also... As the commander of the Nanyang soldiers, he would never miss such a big battle.
It's just that 40,000 crossbows were released from a distance, and 40,000 crossbows and arrows were fired together, but I just felt that the sky was covered... As if the sky was covered, the state of the enemy army and the number of enemies killed were just guesses and numbers.
But it wasn't until these million crossbows were shot down and the 40,000 crossbowmen approached that they discovered and realized that when these million crossbows fell from the sky, when they were indiscriminately covered by the crossbows that covered the sky and the sun, how desperate were these Wei troops?
"If I am in Nanyang and still take this Nanyang army, I am afraid that I will not be able to kill so many people in my life!"
Hou Yin said with emotion.
Lu Yan was young, and he was speechless in shock when he saw this scene.
It's Liao Hua, since he followed Guan Lin, he has made a lot of meritorious contributions, although he has shot enough enemies this time, but this meritorious service inevitably makes him feel that he is used to it...
Although I longed to make meritorious contributions, I was numb when the real military exploits were in front of me!
This is the "numbness" after following the right person!
He sighed: "This is a great achievement, and every soldier under our command is honored!" ”
"You can't say that." Hou Yin seemed to read a little deep meaning from Liao Hua's words "and honor", and he sighed: "This credit is not only ours? ”
This...
Hou Yin's words made Liao Hua and Lu Yan quickly turn their eyes over.
"What does General Hou mean?"
"Yunqi Gongzi This is a big situation, since the second general was poisoned by the arrow, this bureau has begun..."
Hou Yin solemnly analyzed: "This bureau includes the forging of 40,000 crossbows, including the training and secret transportation of 40,000 soldiers, including the fraudulent death of General Guan, including letting the Wei army slack off step by step, we just completed this final blow, if all the credit is taken on our heads, it would be a big mistake!" ”
Liao Hua and Lu Yan understood at once...
Hou Yin means to give up a meritorious service! Write the name of every meritorious person in this battle report that writes meritorious deeds!
This is the big picture!
On the contrary, Liao Hua felt that his pattern was small, and he was worried about this great merit and wanted to take the credit for himself.
Liao Hua immediately ordered: "Immediately order someone to check the results of the battle, be fast, the merits here, remember some of us, but also remember Huang Lao and Mr. Liu of the Shuishui Villa, remember those craftsmen who rushed to make crossbows day and night, remember Fu Shiren and Mi Fang of Gong'an County, remember them sparing no effort to provide crossbow materials, and also remember Zhuge Yuanxun, remember the soldiers of the Guanjia army, and remember the fourth son, remember the second general... In every link in between, everyone has a great contribution! ”
Speaking of which...
Liao Hua only felt a stirring in his chest, it turned out that sharing his exploits was so happy!
"Ahem..."
Coughing lightly, Liao Hua continued to order: "Immediately pick up the crossbow arrows, collect the enemy's armor and weapons, and then set fire here!" According to the orders of the Yunqi Gongzi, half of the soldiers shouted in the direction of Fancheng across the Han River! ”
Liao Hua's shouting in the direction of Fancheng is the last step of the planned 40,000-strong army, and it is a deterrent!
After listening to Liao Hua's instructions, Lu Yan reminded: "General Liao, now... Shouldn't we go to the side of Xiangyang City first? Fu Shiren and General Mi Fang seem to have begun to attack the city! ”
"No support." Liao Hua waved his hand, "First of all, the prince of Yunqi did not arrange for us to attack the city, besides, General Hou Yin is right, no matter where it is, all the credit, all the benefits are all for themselves, this is the way to take trouble, we will clean up the battlefield here, and go to the Hanshui to shout later, do our own thing, if Mi Fang and General Fu Shiren need our support, we will go again, if we don't need it, this credit, I shouldn't wait to rob it!" ”
After Hou Yin's reminder, Liao Hua suddenly seemed to know what "behaving in the world" is?
What is "sophistication"?
The rivers and lakes have never only been fighting and killing, but also being sophisticated in human feelings-
It is precisely in the original Shu Han camp that the most lacking is "sophistication"!
It's only half an hour...
Lu Yan rushed to Hanshui with 20,000 soldiers of the Lu family's army, and on the west side of them was Xiangyang City, which was in the midst of war.
"Ready..."
Lu Yan commanded, and immediately the 20,000 Lu family troops took a deep breath.
"Shout—"
As Lu Yan's voice came out, the 20,000 Lu family soldiers shouted in unison.
"Rat Cao Ren, come here-"
"Rat Cao Ren, come here-"
"Rat Cao Ren, come here-"
Three times in a row, one higher than the other, one louder than the other, until the final sound shook the rubble, the sound was like a bell, and the sound reached the sky!
Then again, Cao Ren? Does he dare to come?
…
…
In Jiangling City, Guan Lin in the big tent of the Guanjia Army was in a daze with the map, when suddenly a gust of wind blew, and it was Lu Xun who opened the curtain and strode in.
"All the best." Lu Xun looked quite surprised, "General Liao Hua is taking General Hou Yin to clean up the battlefield, and my son is leading his troops to the direction of Hanshui towards Nafancheng, according to what you commanded by Yunqi, roar loudly!" Xiangyang City is besieging the city, the battle is particularly fierce, General Guan's side has also completed the order, and led 20,000 soldiers of the Guan family army to rush to Fancheng! ”
Hearing this, Guan Lin asked, "Did the news that my father took the Guan family army to Fancheng send someone to spread it?" ”
Lu Xun replied directly: "According to what you said, it's all scattered." ”
Hearing this, Guan Lin nodded.
As a matter of fact, the situation on the entire Xiangfan battlefield is now very clear.
First, all 35,000 soldiers of Pang De's army were shot and killed by the Qin crossbow array, which was a huge deterrent to the Cao army in the entire Xiangfan battlefield.
The second is the attack on Xiangyang City.
Although Xiangyang City is a military fortress, it is difficult to attack.
But now it's a surprise attack, and the enemy army has relaxed its vigilance, and a large number of defenders have been sent back to their hometowns to visit relatives, and Xu Huang is not here!
It's almost the best time to do it.
Of course, Guan Lin still has confidence in his eldest brother Fu Shiren and second brother Mi Fang.
Even if he took 10,000 steps back and said that he had no confidence in them, Guan Lin was still full of confidence in the "Eight Bull Crossbow" and the "Thunderbolt Ten Bull Crossbow".
This was the first time that such heavy ordnance had been used on the battlefield against Cao Wei.
And the first time, it is often the most powerful, and it is also when the enemy army is ignorant of these and defenseless.
In fact, when the battle has reached this point, there are very few places where Guan Lin can be deployed from the strategic level, and now it depends on the ability of these generals to make decisions and deploy on the battlefield.
Thinking of this, Guan Lin said lightly: "Actually, now Cao Ren, Pang De, and Xu Huang are all trapped in Fancheng, as long as they don't rush to the aid of Xiangyang City, Xiangyang City will definitely be captured!" ”
"Not necessarily..."Lu Xun questioned, "Siege warfare is not easy to fight, so most siege battles are in the form of siege, compared to the grain and grass and reserves of both sides, if you really want to forcibly attack the city, the command of the general is very important, but the Mi Fang and Fu Shiren deployed by Yunqi, at least I am in Dongwu... I've never heard of their impressive achievements! ”
Lu Xun's words were tactful enough.
The implication is, are these two goods okay?
It's just that Lu Xun's words made Guan Lin laugh when he succeeded, and he sighed: "The achievements are all deceptive, and the most real thing is the interests of Ming Huanghuang, and it is a prominent feat——"
In Guan Lin's experience world, if you don't talk about remuneration, you only talk about dedication, and those who can fight are all "idealists"!
So the question is, can the ideal be eaten as a meal?
Hehe, what can be eaten as a meal is still Chiguoguo's wealth and real merit, status, and respect!
Guan Lin doesn't know how to command troops, but he understands human nature, Marloes's demand theory, and Mi Fang and Fu Shiren, what they want-
…
…
The blood-colored sun filled the sky, staining this bloody battlefield even more and more.
"Kill—"
"Rush up—"
"Break the city first—"
Under the cover of the "Thunderbolt Ten Ox Crossbows", under the command of the enemy's unmanned co-ordination and command, when the Eight Ox Crossbows were deeply inserted into the city wall to form a natural ladder.
The soldiers had already ascended the tower.
For a while, the entire city tower was filled with shouts of killing, and both the attackers and the defenders were red-eyed.
It was because Mi Fang's troops landed in the city first, and the crossbow arrows of Fu Shiren's "Thunderbolt Ten Ox Crossbow" had weakened a little... However, the enemy's crossbows, logs, and boulders did not weaken.
Mi Fang shouted hoarsely: "Go to the city first, go to the city first-"
"Whoever ascends first, regardless of life or death, will be rewarded with a thousand gold-"
On the one hand, there must be brave men under the heavy reward.
On the one hand, it is resolute and persistent...
The battle is particularly fierce...
At this moment, Fu Shiren, who was commanding in front of the Eight Bull Crossbow Formation and the Thunderbolt Ten Bull Crossbow Array, looked anxiously at this offensive and defensive battle, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
- "It is worthy of being the first fortress connecting the north and the south, even if it is smashed like this, even if the soldiers use the eight-bull crossbow arrows to easily climb the city tower first, but the enemy army is still holding on and resisting!"
Oh, yes...
As Fu Shiren thought, the offensive of Mi Fang's army was surging, but the defenders' defense was also resolute, I have to say that Cao Cao's widowhood order made these soldiers have to fight to the death to a certain extent, because if they are captured, if they are deserters, then the daughter-in-law is someone else's!
Fight to the death, at least... There is still hope to live, and there is hope to hold the city.
"Grandma's..."
Mi Fang has already exploded, this is the seventh time that his soldiers have climbed the city tower, and it is also the seventh time that he has been forced back.
It is hard to imagine that such a situation would have been in the absence of the enemy general;
It's hard to imagine, if it weren't for the surprise attack, if it wasn't for the fact that Xu Huang was still there, if it wasn't for the Pang Dejun camp being completely shot by the crossbow array, if it wasn't for Fan Cheng not daring to come to help, Mi Fang felt... Even if there are ten of them and ten Fu Shiren, this city can't be captured!
It's no wonder that Guan Yu never thought of taking Xiangyang first and then attacking Fancheng...
The city defense of Xiangyang is still too strong, as long as these defenders want to, it is not a problem at all to delay until the arrival of support.
"Attack... Attack it, occupy the tower, occupy the tower! ”
Mi Fang shouted hoarsely.
Fu Shiren, who was the coordinator of the rear, couldn't sit still any longer, and with a "whoosh" he pulled out his saber: "Brothers, follow me to attack the city, fame and fortune will be in this dynasty——"
As he spoke, Fu Shiren took his subordinates, like a new torrent, launching a new impact towards Xiangyang City.
Siege battles are often the most tragic, especially against the besieging side!
And at this moment, Xiangyang City Tower...
"Hold on!"
"Hold on..."
"You can't take a step back..."
"On top, on top..."
Xu Huang's lieutenant was desperately commanding, in order to give the soldiers hope in their hearts, he kept shouting to cheer for the soldiers, "The Wei army will never give up on comrades, hold on, Fancheng's support will arrive soon, General Xu Huang will not give up on us, General Tianren will not give up on us, hold on, you must hold on!" ”
Just like this vice general's desperate shout...
Xu Huang has always been strict in military discipline and loves soldiers like sons, and his subordinates believe in him and are willing to work hard for him.
Everyone has a thought in their hearts, that is, General Xu Huang will definitely come back... And then flip this precarious situation in one fell swoop.
There is also Cao Ren, that is the "Heavenly General" in Cao Ying, when Niu Jin was surrounded, Cao Ren had already broken through the siege, and once again broke into it to rescue Niu Jin, killing the Eastern Wu soldiers to lose their armor, how could such a "Heavenly General" give up on them?
Although the Jingzhou army has dropped countless new ordnance and used extremely powerful siege methods, but... There is hope for the entire Xiangyang defenders, and I hope that as long as this thing exists, the morale will not collapse, and the battle line will not collapse!
Looking down from the Nine Heavens...
Green and black are blending, colliding, the flames of war are burning, and countless people are roaring with heart-rending rage.
The halberd collided with the sword, the short knife and the shield armor were staggered, and the sparks that were so bright that they collided violently under this sky, and when the sparks were extinguished... Countless soldiers fell, never to be able to stand again.
But whether it's the attacker or the defender... There will always be soldiers who come up one after another, and the battle situation of this bayonet is becoming more and more tragic!
Fu Shiren had already rushed to the position where Mi Fang commanded the siege.
"There are 40,000 soldiers arranged by the third brother nearby, do you want them to support?" Fu Shiren shouted at Mi Fang.
Mi Fang instinctively shook his head, he couldn't care so much, he raised his voice: "Support a caterpillar, if they come?" So is this Xiangyang City still our three brothers? ”
This...
Fu Shiren was stunned when he heard this.
At this moment, Mi Fang puffed up his chest, and he stared at Fu Shiren deeply, "Big brother is here, then there is no need for me to command and dispatch..."
Speaking of this, Mi Fang raised the big knife: "Brothers, all look good, I, Mi Fang, will rush to the front, this time if there is one who is cut down first when I climb the city tower, it is my Mi Fang... Those who want to live in a big house and hug a few mothers-in-law, they all follow Lao Tzu and fight-"
With Mi Fang's voice, as Mi Fang took the lead, countless soldiers were infected, and the morale that was originally low because of the holding off jumped to the top in an instant.
"Lai Scraper..."
Mi Fang roared and boarded the eight-bull crossbow bolt directly, and an arrow slashed past his ear, although it missed, it made his ears buzz.
Mi Fang's footsteps paused, he took a deep breath, gathered his dantian, and roared loudly: "Little forced drops, there is a bar hanging in the egg... Ninen Niang! ”
Suddenly, listening to it, this Xuzhou scolding words also became inexplicably energetic!
For a moment, it was even more infiltrating than Shanxi dialect-
…
…
Fancheng Tower, Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Pang De, Zhao Yan... They gathered at the head of the city and looked at Xiangyang City across the Jingjiang River.
Before, Pound, who was full of fighting spirit, was like a wilted cucumber at the moment, just staring at him, but the strength on his body seemed to be drained.
Zhao Yan held his chin and looked at the attack and defense of Xiangyang City, and couldn't help but fall into deep worry.
Xu Huang couldn't stop hanging his head and stomping his feet...
He bowed his hand to Cao Ren for the seventeenth time, "Celestial General, you are the Celestial General in Cao's camp, now Xiangyang City is in danger, tens of thousands of soldiers are facing the enemy's throwing stones and crossbow arrows... Still struggling to hold on, I'm waiting... Shall I just watch? ”
It was precisely when Xu Huang said this.
Far away, on the other side of the Jing River
"Rat Cao Ren, come here—"
The passionate shouts of tens of thousands of soldiers in unison came again, which made Cao Ren's eyebrows, who were already worried, even more solemn.
This is already the Guan Lin made clear...
He lay in ambush on the periphery, waiting for him Cao Ren to go out of the city and fall into a trap.
In fact... If it is placed in normal times, with Cao Ren's reputation as a "heavenly general", with his temperament, even if he knows that there is an ambush, he will definitely save it.
But now... 35,000 soldiers and horses were wiped out almost in an hour, and no one survived!
The number of deaths, the time of death, made Cao Ren unable to forget this side to guess, in the end... In the end, what method did the Jingzhou army and Guan Lin use?
It's not that he doesn't want to save it, but he doesn't dare to save it!
- The soldiers in Fancheng... It's not one more life than Pound's soldiers outside the city!
"Celestial General..."Xu Huang knelt directly on the ground with a "snap", his head slammed on the floor, and he seemed to have been greatly wronged.
You must know that the last time he was so wronged, it was in Bashu, or after his own soldiers climbed the city tower first, Cao Cao suddenly ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops!
That battle killed countless of his brothers.
And this time... This time...
Xu Huang was already in tears, and blood came out of his forehead: "General Zixiao, you just need to give me five thousand horses, I... I'll go to Xiangyang alone... I went alone to save it, and the brothers over there had been on watch all morning, and they... They're waiting for me, waiting for our help! ”
Because of Xu Huang's words, Zhao Yan's mood was also a little relaxed, and he proposed: "It's better to give General Xu 5,000 horses, no Xiangyang... Fancheng can be completely exposed to Jingzhou's soldiers, and the Xiangfan battlefield is difficult to hold anymore. Da Wei can't afford to lose it! ”
It was also because of Zhao Yan's words that Cao Ren exhaled deeply, hesitating again and again, he still planned to take the risk of falling into this trap.
"Order 5,000 cavalry to General Gongming and go to the rescue of Xiangyang!"
Following Cao Ren's words, Xu Huang immediately led his troops out of the city...
But the gate of the city was opened, and five thousand horsemen poured out.
"Newspaper—newspaper—"
A scout quickly rushed to report to Cao Ren: "Outside Fancheng... Jingzhou soldiers were found outside Fancheng, led by... Yes..."
"Who is it?" Cao Ren asked urgently.
"It's Guan Yu—"
With the words of waiting, Cao Ren subconsciously didn't react, but as the words "Guan Yu" poured into his head, he subconsciously stumbled on his legs.
He exclaimed..."Guan Yu... Guan Yu is not dead? Guan Yu is deceiving me? ”
Zhao Yan hurriedly reacted, "In this way, isn't that General Gongming..."
Without waiting for Zhao Yan to finish speaking, Cao Ren roared loudly: "Mingjin, Mingjin... Immediately let Xu Huang and the five thousand horsemen come back..."
At that moment, a soldier defending the city pointed to the bottom of the tower.
"Look, General..."
Following his voice, Cao Ren looked under the city tower, but saw that under the sun, the blood-red red rabbit horse, the turquoise green dragon knife, and the green robe and green hat... The man in fluttering clothes, he and Guan Jiajun were appearing under the city tower, and they were colliding head-on with Xu Huang.
This man... But it's not Guan Yu, who else can there be?
I only heard that Guan Yu Le Ma downstairs in the city stopped at this moment, and the Qinglong Dao pointed at Xu Huang in front of him.
The sonorous and powerful sound like a bell, and the sound was thick and deep.
"Guan is here, Gongming suffers death-"
…
