130 The Great War of Survival
The early winter wind blows like a steel knife on the earth, causing everything to wither.
Especially at night, the faces of people who can blow are painful.
However, the two groups of people up and down the city pass had no intention of feeling this biting cold wind, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the siege order to be issued.
As long as that order is given, I don't know how many people will bury their bones here.
Time passed, and finally someone arrived.
Gao Shun came to the front line with thousands of advance soldiers, they were panting, red-faced, sweating profusely, and they didn't stop much along the way.
"Wen Hou!"
Lu Bu turned his head to look at Gao Shun, then turned his horse's head and leaned over, "We want to attack the city." β
The simple three words are to inform Gao Shun and let him prepare.
Gao Shun of facial paralysis has always been a cold-spoken character, even when he was training to fall into the camp, he didn't say a few words, if he was stupid and couldn't keep up, he would be greeted with fists and feet.
In his words, we are stupid to be reasonable, and we like to do it.
But doing things, he has never disappointed Lu Bu, "Wen Hou rest assured, when he saw the first batch of Xiao Guan's defeated troops, the last general guessed that the city might be attacked, so he ordered the soldiers to bring ladders and rushing cars, but the building cars and thunderbolt cars are too clumsy, even if they arrive, it will be tomorrow." β
When it comes to siege, of course, the building car and the thunderbolt are the strongest.
But Lu Bu didn't want to wait for a moment, who knows what Lin Mo and Lu Lingqi in the city would be like every time he waited.
There were rushes and ladders, which was enough!
The foot soldiers rushed to the city of Xiaoguan one after another, whether it was their breathless state, or the dark night when they couldn't see their fingers, it was not conducive to the siege of the city.
Even, Chen Gong came to persuade him several times, but he didn't listen to a word, and only replied to Chen Gong from beginning to end, "I promised that they would protect them well." β
Lu Lingqi didn't say anything, when he chased Lin Mo from Jiujiang to this Xiao Pass in the past, he told the other party that as long as he lived, he would not let him be harmed.
Now, it's time to make good on that promise.
He kept looking behind him, expecting the rush car and the ladder to arrive faster, and every moment of waiting here was a torment for Lu Bu.
Those scenes that were once with his daughter and son-in-law kept coming to mind, like a mountain and a tsunami.
However, when the thought of both of them trapped in the city pass, those good things will be shattered, just like his heart, which can no longer be pieced together.
"Cao Cao is not right."
Suddenly, Gao Shun was stunned by a sudden sentence, "What did Wen Hou say?" β
"I said, what Cao Cao said is not right."
Lu Bu looked at Xiao Guan coldly, "Today's siege has nothing to do with the number of soldiers, even if I am alone, I will not leave them!" β
Gao Shun still didn't understand what Lu Bu was talking about, but he didn't ask any more.
Because, at this time, Lu Bu reminded him of a sentence he once read: Although tens of millions of people are gone.
When Gao Shun was in a trance, Lu Bu added another sentence, "Peping, if you are the one who is deeply trapped in Xiao Pass today, I will do the same." β
Gao Shun was stunned and looked at Lu Bu blankly.
Such a Wen Hou is full of personality charm and radiance, which makes Gao Shun awe-inspired.
When he wanted to say something, Zhang Xiu suddenly shouted, "It's here!" β
In the distance, soldiers carrying ladders and pushing rushing carts appeared.
That would be fine, at least for the brothers who came first to rest for a while.
Chen Gong ran over again and said earnestly: "Wen Hou, even if you want to attack, wait until after dawn and let the soldiers rest before you do it." β
Lu Bu just glanced at him, obviously losing patience to explain.
On the side, Gao Shun directly stepped forward and made a move, "The last general is willing to be the first!" β
The first to ascend is the first to ascend to the top of the city when it is broken.
In this era when it was common to use ladders to attack cities, those who wanted to be the first to climb were killed, so they were called the first to climb the dead, which was the same as the death squad.
"Pepin, watch out for yourself."
Lu Bu, who had long been accustomed to life and death on the battlefield, did not dwell too much.
After Gao Shun nodded, he rode his horse to the crowd of foot soldiers and shouted: "Those who go to the head of the city first, a reward of ten thousand gold, if you are not afraid of death, follow me!" β
On the open grass, the footmen who were lying on their backs sat up, but no one immediately answered.
When they reacted to the golden reward, someone jumped up and shouted, "I'll go!" β
"Damn, the lord will also go, this battle will be the first, and the lord's wife and children will no longer have to worry about eating and drinking!"
"I'll go too!"
In a short time, seven or eight thousand people were gathered.
However, you can't attack right away.
Because these seven or eight thousand people are not all from the same part, they need to be choreographed, which will take some time.
No matter how anxious Lu Bu was, he also understood this truth, so he could only wait quietly.
About an hour later, with the assistance of the lieutenant, the lieutenant and the military commander, all these people were arranged.
Lu Bu came to the front of the pass with a halberd, and behind him was a full 8,000 Xiandeng dead soldiers led by Gao Shun.
They carried ladders, shields, bows and arrows.
Even Gao Shun dismounted, drew his sword and stood in front of the first dead man, he was ready to take the lead.
In the past, this was all Wei Yue's doing, but unfortunately that guy is still lying in bed now.
On the city pass, Cao Jun had already carried rolling stones, sasswood, and arrows, and the gold juice was also disgusted by the people who boiled and smoked it.
Under everyone's attention, Lu Bu slowly raised his right hand.
Everyone knows that when that hand falls, it will be the beginning of the great war.
And once such a battle starts, it will not stop fighting.
Even Cao Cao held his breath and stared at Lu Bu's right hand.
"Master Yue, father!"
When the battle was about to break out, two voices came from the rear.
Everyone turned their heads to look and saw two horses galloping towards them.
It's Lin Mo, and Lu Lingqi.
Lu Bu's eyes were as silent as stagnant water, and after seeing the appearance of the person clearly, the whole person was stunned.
Is it really Yoon-moon and Ling-a?
"Wen Hou, it's them, it's them, they're back!" You don't have to attack the city, Chen Gong laughed happily.
This reminder finally woke up the distracted Lu Bu, and he flew off his horse and ran towards the comer.
After the three of them met, Lu Bu directly hugged his daughter and son-in-law, "Yunwen Ling'er, it's great that you're okay!" β
This strongman locked the man, almost strangled Lin Mo to death on the spot, and hurriedly slapped his arm, "Master Yue, be lighter!" β
"What the hell is going on, did Cao Cao let you go!" Obviously, he hadn't seen him for a day, but Lu Bu had the illusion of reuniting after a long absence, or even being like a world away, and his nose was sour unconsciously.
Zhang Xiu, Gao Shun, Zang Ba, Chen Gong, Jia Xu and others also surrounded one after another.
"Yunwen, where have you gone, how did you appear from behind?"
"We're all ready to storm the city and save you!"
"Tell me what's going on!"
Everyone was gossiping, so that Lin Mo couldn't even interject.
Until Lu Bu waved his hand and said sharply: "Be quiet, Yunwen you say!" β
Lin Mo and Lu Lingqi glanced at each other, and slowly told what happened during the day from beginning to end, and the eyes of everyone who listened were full of brilliance.
admired Lin Mo's quick response, sought safety in the most dangerous places, and was even more shocked that Zhao Yunxiao Guan showed his might and fought against Dian Wei.
If it weren't for Lin Mo's mouth, all of this would sound more like a storytelling, and the people who listened to it would have their blood gushing and their blood boiling.
"Heaven bless." Jia Xu couldn't help but sigh.
"Where's Zilong?" Zhang Xiu cares about his junior brother.
"After returning to Pengcheng, I fainted, and let the military doctor see it, I was tired." Lin Mo sighed.
That's right, in the encirclement of 5,000 people, he first slashed and killed, then fought with Xu Chu, Le Jin, Xiahou Yuan, and Xu Huang, and finally retreated.
This doesn't matter, but he has fought with Dian Wei, the number one fierce general under Cao Jun, for dozens of rounds, this ordinary person has long been tired to death, and he can still insist on returning to Pengcheng.
This feat, I'm afraid it won't lose to Wen Hou.
"You're all right, that's enough."
Lu Bu held the hands of his daughter and son-in-law, "Don't worry, my father promised you that he would slaughter Dian Venus with his own hands." β
Then, he turned his head to look at Xiao Guan and said in a deep voice: "Or, it's better to hit the day than to hit the day, and kill it tonight." β
Everyone didn't doubt that Lu Bu really dared to do this, and they all looked at Lin Mo.
Everyone knows that he Lin Yunwen is back, and the person who dominates the battle is him.
"That's it, Lord Yue, the soldiers are sleepy and tired, and at this night, if you forcibly attack the city, you will barely break the city, and you will have countless casualties, and you can't do it."
Lin Mo took two steps forward, looked at Xiao Guan from a distance, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Five days, five days at most, after five days, I will let Xiao Guan and insert the Lu character Daxu!" β
"Good !!"
Lu Bu let out a loud shout.
Obviously he is just a weak strategist, but standing in front of this group of generals, he looks extremely thin.
However, his words seemed to make everyone see Cao Cao's hasty escape, and see the embarrassment of Cao's army in a rout.
If he can do it, he can rely on his three words, Lin Yunwen.
Lu Bu raised his right hand again, but he shouted: "Class teacher! β
The soldiers also rejoiced, and when Lin Mo came back, they seemed to have confidence.
To fight, or not to fight, there is enough confidence.
A group of people rushed to the city of Xiaoguan, and a few hours later, they withdrew again.
This kind of thing should seem very demoralizing, but the soldiers are not tired all the way, this is the heart of the army, this is the morale of the army.
Even Cao Cao, who was on Xiao Guan, breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.
He, too, didn't want to fight.
At least not yet.
It didn't take long for me to relax, and I felt a huge pressure fall on my heart.
I really didn't expect that in just two years, Lin Mo had grown to such a point, and if he wanted to take advantage of morale, I was afraid it was unlikely.
This battle in Xuzhou is not easy to fight.
"Do you really have a way, or do you just want to persuade Wen Hou back first?"
Along the way, Lu Bu was chattering with his daughter and son-in-law, and also listened to the details before and after, so that the sky was white, and it was almost Pengcheng, so Jia Xu had the opportunity to talk to Lin Mo.
"What, does Mr. Jia think I'm bluffing?" Lin Mo asked rhetorically with a smile.
"Cao Cao personally led his troops to attack Xiaoguan, which must be to open the way for the rear army, and I think it won't be long before most of his men and horses will arrive in Xuzhou."
Jia Xu, who was riding a horse, twisted his long beard and frowned: "Your poetry meeting was originally intended to block his linkage with the family and cut off his logistical supplies, but Xiao Guan's great victory made those people see hope again, and they will definitely stand up one after another."
The loss of Xiao Guan not only opened up the grain route of Cao Jun, but also gave Cao Cao the confidence to besiege Xuzhou for a long time. β
"Indeed, whether it is for us or Cao Cao, Xiao Guan is too important."
Lin Mo looked at Jia Xu and said contemplatively: "That's why I want to recapture Xiao Pass within five days, and in five days, his people won't be able to catch up with Xiao Pass." β
Jia Xu nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "It's true that I can't catch up in five days, but I don't quite understand why it's five days, and I won't tell you anything, I don't have any way to deal with Xiao Guan at present." β
Jia Xu has always been the character of you who don't ask me not to say it, even if you ask, I have to think about whether I can say it and to what extent.
But now, in front of Lin Mo, he chose to say everything he thought.
In addition to the fact that there is no need to hide clumsiness in front of smart people, there is also a trace of guilt.
Since he arrived in Lu Ying, Lin Mo has treated him as his own, but just now, he had the idea of running away, and when they met again, he couldn't wipe his face in his heart.
"You must give me some time to prepare, and give the soldiers some time to rest." Lin Mo smiled.
In fact, the five days were to prepare for myself, but I was also forced to be helpless.
Just won Xiao Pass, Cao Cao at this time is more vigilant than ever, because there may still be residual forces in the city, and for the night patrol situation, there must be dense sentinels.
Lin Mo had walked through that passage, and there was still some distance from the city gate, so in order to open this secret passage quickly, he chose a mansion closer to the hill to the west.
Naturally, it is necessary to design it well, even if the elite is like a camp, if they can't rush to the city gate and be found on the way, it will be difficult to escape the result of the total annihilation.
Moreover, if the other party calculates this way, it will kill a lot of people.
As an army that had already folded in Xiaoguan for a while, if there was another big rout, when the Cao army's large army arrived, he would definitely attack Pengcheng without hesitation.
So this battle can be said to be a matter of survival.
Based on this, Lin Mo needs time to make deployments, at least to make the plan of the sneak attack in the dark tunnel as safe as possible.
But five days should be almost enough.
Jia Xu was still bowing his head and pondering, but he finally found nothing, and he didn't know how Lin Mo was going to play.
"Gan Xingba?" Suddenly, Jia Xu asked.
Lin Mo was a little surprised, when he laid out Gan Ning, he hadn't arrived in Guangling yet, and he also knew that he was really an old yin.
"How did you find out about this?"
"It's not hard to guess."
Jia Xu laughed dryly, "No one knows the name of the Jinfan thief, after eating forty military sticks, he was thrown into idleness, but I think he has great respect for you, which is not like the temperament of the Jinfan thief." β
I see, the observation is quite subtle.
Lin Mo only pursed his lips, not denying or admitting it.
I think Jia Xu said directly: "I know by looking at your expression, I should have guessed wrong." β
Lin Mo just smiled and said nothing, it was already great to be able to guess Gan Xingba's bitter plan, Xiao Guan's tunnel was not strictly speaking, it was just Lin Mo's layout in advance, and it was normal for him not to guess.
After the LΓΌ army withdrew, the Cao army was relieved, and from the beginning of the attack on Xiao Pass, their tension was highly tense until the LΓΌ army retreated, and they all seemed to be unable to raise their strength.
Xu Chu's scolding on the side has no effect, and at this time, they will miss the elite of a hundred battles who died in Anfeng.
The reason why the elite is called the elite is not only their combat power, but also their will to fight.
Not to mention them, even Cao Cao couldn't sleep.
Just when he was a little sleepy and wanted to close his eyes, suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, Cao Cao suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, and said that it was Lu Bu who went and returned, but Xiahou Yuan just said:
"Sikong, when the soldiers were searching for an abandoned mansion, they found a secret passage, and the last general sent someone to check that it led to the western hill!"
