Chapter 192: Fighting on a Snowy Night

The next day, the sky was filled with snowflakes, and 3,000 sergeants, led by Ding Feng, Yu Shao, and Fu Wei, set out from Yuzhou and landed by boat.

On Yuzhou Mountain, facing the wind and snow, Mi Fang, Huo Jun and others watched the three generals leave.

Mi Fang looked sad and said: "Xiahou Yuan and Yu Ban are both generals, and they are well versed in the art of war. And those three generals are only in their twenties, and they should obey the order. If you act recklessly, I am afraid that this trip will be lost. ”

Huo Jun stroked the hilt of the sword with his hand and said with a smile: "In terms of the ability of generals, how can they be compared with seniority." In the past when Emperor Xiaowu was in power, Li Guang went through three dynasties and had profound qualifications, but he was not as good as Wei and Huo in terms of using soldiers. Today's battle is not an ordinary battle, and our army should advance to Yuzhou with surprise. In the year when the three of them were aggressive, it was appropriate to drive their troops forward. ”

Huo Jun knew a lot about the brave military strategy of the three of them, and he trusted them, otherwise he wouldn't dare to use these three generals.

Ding Feng was born from a humble background and did not know how to read officials, but he had military talent, fought bravely, and often took the lead; Yu Shao was born in the Sun family, he was familiar with the war, commanded thousands of soldiers and horses at the age of eighteen, had a steady temperament, and could supervise the army; Fu Wei was born in a strong family, and he had to be under Liu Bei's account, and he was brave in battle, so he could use it.

Seeing that Huo Jun's thoughts persisted, Mi Fang couldn't say anything. After all, as Huo Jun said, fighting really doesn't depend on age, so you can't rely on victory or defeat.

The weather was cold, Mi Fang rubbed his hands and said: "Fang has already let his villagers go ashore from Zhongmiao's intentions, and the people of Qianqu County will go to Yuzhou, and there will be more than 2,000 households. ”

Huo Jun went north from Jingkou to Yuzhou, of course, it was impossible to save only Chang Feng and tens of thousands of men and women under his subordinates, otherwise this trip would be too much of a loss. He was ready to take advantage of Cao Cao's expedition to Wuhuan and was unable to look south, and moved more of the people along the coast of Xuzhou to Jiangdong, and the people of Quxian County, with more than 2,000 households, were just appetizers, and the big ones were still behind.

As he spoke, Mi Fang weighed his words and asked, "I heard that Zhong Miao wants to order people to go north along the coast and find a sea route to Liaodong, but is this the case?" ”

"That's true. Could it be that Brother Fang has a suitable candidate, or does he have a sea route? Huo Jun asked.

Shaking his head, Mi Fang showed a mercenary smile and said: "Fang was in business in the old days, and had many dealings with Donglai, Langya, and Beihai merchants. If Zhong Miao is at ease, it is better to let someone manage the Liaodong Sea Road, horses, furs, ginseng, and everything Zhong Miao wants, Fang can be obtained for you. ”

Furthermore, Mi Fang said in a low voice: "And the three Han maids are a must, docile and well-behaved, white and beautiful, and the Qingxu clan often buys them with money." If Zhong Miao is interested, Fang can also get a few names for you. ”

Licking his lips, Huo Jun was interested, and the three Korean maidservants trained them, didn't they raise a Korean girl group by themselves.

However, Huo Jun also saw Mi Fang's thoughts, and wanted to use the Liaodong Sea Route for his own benefit, and his behavior was said to be big for personal gain, and if it was small, he would bring some special products back to Jiangzuo.

Of course, for Mi Fang's behavior, Huo Jun had no intention of stopping it, and had the intention of taking advantage of it. After this trip to the north, someone must be responsible for the Liaodong Sea Road, and Mi Fang can only ensure the quality and quantity of the horses, as he tosses.

"Ahem~"

Huo Jun coughed a few times, put his arm around Mi Fang's shoulder, and said, "The Liaodong Sea Road is handed over to Brother Zifang, Jun thinks it is very feasible. But travel should be focused on major events, through the Liaodong Sea Road, war horses first. If you want to build a horse farm in the Qianshan District of Jiangbei, you can't lack the things in the middle, such as a person who is good at understanding horse nature, and can cure horse diseases. And the stallion must not be gelding, and the mare must be a strong horse. ”

Mi Fang's eyes lit up, she understood what Huo Jun meant, and said with a smile: "Please rest assured that Zhong Miao will not be short of good horses, and Zhong Miao will be satisfied." ”

"Zifang wants to manage this Liaodong Sea Road, but I don't know what he wants?" Huo Jun asked.

Mi Fang smiled and said, "Liaodong Sea Road, Donglai Maritime Merchants know everything. Fang spent some money and found a few veterans to go to sea. ”

Huo Jun pondered for a while and said: "Although the Liaodong Sea Road is known to the merchants of Donglai, few people in my Jiangzuo know about it. Lao Zifang drew a sea chart to find out the Liaodong waterway so that he could go to sea next time. ”

"Well said!"

Mi Fang responded with a smile and said, "Fang will go north along the way to mark the island, and if there is a coastal city, inform Zhong Miao and move his people south." ”

……

At the same time, generals Ding Feng, Fu Wei, and Yu Shao led their troops into Shiliang Water in small boats, but because of the large number of people and the lack of boats, they had to let a large army forcibly march on the shore, and put their armor, weapons, and a small number of troops on the boats to consign them, and rotate the tired soldiers on the shore.

It is about 200 miles from Qu County to Tanguo City, and Ding Feng and others, with the help of boat consignment, traveled more than 200 miles lightly in two days and one night, and traveled rapidly.

Inside the tent, the wooden pile was ignited by the fire, releasing a hot air to dispel the chill inside the tent.

"General, Changfeng has all the grain to ask Sikong to surrender, should I accept it?" Guangling Taishou Xu Xi asked.

Xu Xi, Cao Cao's old department. In the past, Zhang Miao rebelled, Yanzhou was in turmoil, Cao Cao's return army was successful in quelling the rebellion, Xu Xi and Mao Hui were afraid of Cao Cao, and led their troops to flee to Zang Ba's tent. Liu Bei was ordered by Cao Cao to ask Zang Ba to present the heads of the two. But Zang Ba thought that he could dominate one side, and the first thing was to keep righteousness, how could he do such an unrighteous thing and refuse Cao Cao's request.

Although Cao Cao was unhappy in his heart, he saw that Zang Ba had the intention to protect Xu and Mao, so he appointed them as Taishou out of consideration. Xu Xi received the command of Guangling County, stationed troops to shoot Yang, and now on the order of Xiahou Yuan, he went north to besiege Changyi.

Taking a sip of warm wine, Yu Ban said: "Xu Taishou doesn't know the order of the Air Force, and those who surround and surrender will not be pardoned, we should obey the law and carry out the order, how can we violate the festival?" ”

In order to reduce the number of enemy strongholders, Cao Cao issued military orders. Whoever goes out of the city and surrenders after the siege will behead the enemy, and as for whether to slaughter the city, it depends on the strength of the resistance.

Of course, Cao Cao will also be flexible, such as Xu Huangzhi to Yiyang and Cao Renzhi to Huguan, depending on the situation, not blindly killing. If Yu Ban wanted Chang Xuan to survive and pleaded with Cao Cao, Chang Feng could basically survive.

Xu Xi hesitated a little and said: "Chang Feng has an old relationship with the general, and he really wants to survive by surrendering the general without surrendering to Xiahou to supervise the army." It's better to report to Sikong now, and let Sikong decide to take Chang Xuan's life. ”

Yu Ban is a native of Taishan County, not only has a long time with Chang Xuan, but actually has a good relationship with the Taishan generals.

Yu Ban's face was displeased, he put the wine bottle on the table, and said: "Chang Feng has rebelled repeatedly, and every time he conquers, he will be angry. Jinchang secretly communicated with Liu Bei, moved the city to rebel, has touched the taboo, how dare you think about personal feelings, and forgive it. And today's enemy, I am afraid that tomorrow Changfeng will be restored to Liu Bei, and I should not dare to pardon him. ”

After a pause, Yu Ban said in a deep voice: "Inform the Xiahou Overseers, and tomorrow when Changfeng surrenders, behead him, drive his troops into the city, and completely quell the rebellion." ”

"No!"

The night was deep, the snow was falling in the sky, the weather was cold, and the Cao military camp was very quiet.

On the Shiliang River, on dozens of small boats, Jiangdong sergeants lurked in the boats with swords and uniforms.

"Captain, the enemy camp is in front, can you attack?" The sergeant asked.

Ding Feng stood on the bow of the ship and ordered: "Bring the boat close to the shore and attack the Xiahou Yuan camp." ”

"What about Yu Ban and Xu Xi's second battalion?" The sergeant asked.

Ding Feng squinted his eyes and said: "According to the investigation of the public scouts, the forbidden military camp is strictly organized, and the sergeants are well-guarded, so it may be difficult to break it." broke through the second battalion of Xiahou Yuan and Xu Xi, and retreated in the forbidden department. ”

Yu Ban camped in the west of the city, and Xiahou Yuan and Xu Xi were in the north and south of the city respectively. Today, Yu Shao and Fu Wei gave all the boats to Ding Feng, so that Ding Feng could come down the river and appear in the northeast direction of Xiahou Yuan. Fu Wei approached Xu Xi's military camp from the southeast, only waiting for Ding Feng to take the lead in attacking.

As he spoke, the boat gradually approached, and the elite soldiers on the boat were already eager to try. Their thousand-person people are the elite selected by Huo Jun from among the ten thousand, and the armor and weapons are given priority, and they are practiced all year round, and they are very brave and elite.

When the boat docked, Ding Feng shook the snowflakes on his body, held a torch, jumped to a high place, and shouted loudly: "The general has been waiting for me for a long time, and today is the time for us to serve the general." ”

Then, Ding Feng tore off the armor on his body and shouted hysterically: "The eldest husband is making meritorious service and gaining wealth today!" ”

After speaking, Ding Feng was shirtless, revealing his strong muscles and bones, and there were many sword wounds on his body, he roared, held a sword and shield, jumped into the cold and piercing river, and took the lead in charging.

"Kill!"

With the role of Ding Feng charging into battle naked, the thousands of elite brave men under his command dare to work hard. Jumping into the water and feeling the icy cold water, everyone is in good spirits. Many brave men also followed Ding Feng's example, stripped off their armor, went naked, and braved the cold to kill.

In order to prevent Chang Feng from coming out of the city, the Xiahou Yuan military camp deliberately laid a strong fortification on the front of the barracks, and the garrison on the back of the camp was indescribably strict.

When Ding Feng rushed to a distance of several hundred paces, the sergeant who was on the night vigil noticed that he was beating the snare drum that symbolized the night attack. I wanted to draw my bow and shoot arrows, but I found that it was too cold, and my hands were frozen, making it difficult to draw the bow. And the sergeants who attacked took off their shirts like crazy and killed them naked, which is unimaginable.

When the sergeants in the battalion heard the news and got up at night, Ding Feng had already led thousands of elite people to the barracks. The horses were removed by the sergeants, the fence wall was overturned by everyone, and thousands of foot soldiers rushed into the gate of Cao's camp with a roar.

Ding Feng used his shield to block the spear of Cao Jun's attack, and then entered, poked the ring knife in his hand, only to hear a muffled sound of 'poof', the sharp blade cut through Cao Jun's uniform, cut into the waist and abdomen, and the hot blood instantly burst out, sprinkled on the ground, staining red snow.

"Kill!"

Drawing the knife out, the tendons and flesh on Ding Feng's body were reflected red under the orange bonfire, and under such a cold snow, Ding Feng was so fierce that sweat overflowed. During the panting, a large amount of white breath from the mouth and nose is exhaled.

Running along the road between the tents, the Koto sergeant was bare-armed, holding a sword and a shield. The Cao soldiers, who got up in a hurry, encountered them either dead or dead, and the entire Cao army camp began to cry and run.

"Light the fire, burn the camp!"

The rear of the barracks often hoarded fodder, baggage and other sundries, and now the Jiangdong soldiers have entered the camp and have been eyeing the forage field. After finishing Sergeant Cao Jun guarding the forage field, the Jiangdong soldier threw the torch in his hand into the haystack, and the flames instantly engulfed the forage.

The forage was ignited, and the fire, with the help of the wind, began to spread and devour the tents and beams, and in an instant, the smoke and flames rose into the sky, and they were clearly visible for miles away.

Such a warm voice resounded in the camp, which immediately woke Xiahou Yuan from his dream.

Listen to the earth-shattering shouts of slaughter, and the thunderous sound of golden drums. A strong sense of crisis struck his heart suddenly, and Xiahou Yuan secretly said that something was wrong in his heart, and he quickly took the armor and put it on his body.

"Overseer, Overseer!"

The guards broke into the big tent in panic and shouted: "Our army has been attacked by night, and it has entered the camp from the empty place in the north of our army, and the outer sergeants cannot stop it at all, and now they have killed around the Chinese army. ”

"What?"

Xiahou Yuan's face changed greatly, he took the ring head knife and strode out of the camp. The moment he walked out of the tent, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but shiver because of the cold weather outside the tent.

Under Xiahou Yuan's watch, the noise in the camp poured into his ears like the tide, and the shouts and wails were heard very clearly. As far as the eye could see, the camp was already in chaos, and the north was already in flames, where the sergeants of both sides were fighting and fighting.

Seeing such a situation, Xiahou Yuan was puzzled in his heart, Chang Feng was in the city, if he attacked the camp, shouldn't he attack from the front? Who will be the enemy from the north? Could it be that some of the generals of Mount Tai rebelled in order to respond to Hechang, but it was impossible for him to have no news, and this army was like an enemy from heaven.

Not only was Xiahou Yuan puzzled, in fact, the people in the entire military camp were in a daze, and when everyone was in a deep dream, a group of shirtless men suddenly appeared in the night and broke into the camp from the back of the camp, shouting and slashing and killing with knives, and everyone was stunned. In a hurry, the camp was completely unable to resist.

"Overseer, what should I do if there is chaos in the camp today and the enemy attacks?" The attendant asked anxiously.

As soon as the words fell, the sound of fighting in the camp was already approaching.

"Where is Xiahou Yuan? Why don't you die soon? ”

A loud shout suddenly sounded from the night, and then a fierce general with a sword and shield in his hand led dozens of soldiers under him to appear in front of Xiahou Yuan. I saw that the leader had a hideous face, and his naked upper body had already been splashed with thick blood, like a Tai Sui god in the world in the looming firelight.

Seeing such a brave man, Xiahou Yuan, who had just woken up, was completely sobered up by fright, and when he saw that there were no available people on the left and right, he didn't dare to resist at all, so he took his attendants on the left and right, and fled to the forbidden camp by night.

Ding Feng slaughtered around the Chinese army, wanting to find Xiahou Yuan's figure, even cut several people, but searched everywhere but found no trace of Xiahou Yuan. In a fit of anger, he cut off the 'Xiahou' banner with a knife, and the flagpole creaked and fell to the ground with a bang.

In addition to Ding Feng's troops entering Xiahou Yuan's camp, Fu Wei led his headquarters to successfully rush into Xu Xi's military camp.

After Xu Xi learned that Chang Feng had surrendered, he felt slack in his heart. When he returned to the camp from the forbidden area, he did not tell the soldiers to be vigilant as usual. After Fu Wei led his troops like Ding Feng to enter the barracks from a weak point, it quickly caused a rout of the sergeants.

In the snowy night, Sergeant Cao Jun woke up from his sleep, was cut by Fu Wei's subordinates to cry his father and call his mother, and fled in all directions, almost without any resistance.

In his sleep, Xu Xi was woken up by the trilogy, hurriedly changed into armor, and went out of the tent with a spear. As soon as he came out of the camp, his face suddenly changed, and Sergeant Jiang Zuo had already killed the Chinese army.

Xu Xi and his subordinates fled in a hurry, and they also wanted to flee to the forbidden camp, but when they left the camp, they ran into Yu Shao's department, which failed to attack the forbidden camp. Xu Xi and his subordinates have few people, how can they be able to defeat the Jiangdong soldiers, and there is nowhere to escape if they want to. After several battles, Xu Xi's head was cut off by the sergeant, and his subordinates were either dead or surrendered.

Xiahou Yuan, Yu Ban, and Xu Xi were all broken except for the Yu Ban Department.

In fact, Yu Ban's camp also suffered Yu Shao's night attack, but because Yu Ban's army was well-governed, the camp was heavily guarded. Yu Shao was found out outside the forbidden camp, and Yu Shao saw that he had no way to start, so he returned to help Fu Wei's department.

At this time, Yu Ban was inspecting the camp, the whole camp was brightly lit, and the soldiers were on alert in an orderly manner. Yu Ban didn't know if there were ambushes in the night, and he didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only collect the defeated army of Xiahou Yuan and Xu Xi.

and Xiahou Yuan fled into the camp, and Yu Ban hurried over and asked, "Does the Overseer know who the enemy is?" ”

It's a pity that Xiahou Yuan didn't know who the enemy was, so he shook his head blankly and said: "The enemy is naked, fighting bravely, and he is not an ordinary person. But Yuan thought about it left and right, but he didn't know who the enemy was? ”

Hearing this, Yu Ban couldn't help but feel depressed. The battle came to this point, Xiahou Yuan actually told him that he didn't know who the enemy was, and he didn't know what to say.

Xiahou Yuan also seemed to know his outrageousness, and guessed: "I heard that the accent of the enemy general seems to be a Jianghuai person, could it be a Jianghuai thief who is friendly with Chang Xuan?" ”

Yu Ban frowned slightly, and said: "How dare the Jianghuai thieves make trouble recklessly, and the enemy from this department is very brave and elite, not ordinary soldiers. ”

"But what about Huo Junhu?" The lieutenant asked tentatively.

Hearing Huo Jun's name, Xiahou Yuan jumped to his feet and said in denial: "Huo Juntun's soldiers are in the East China Sea, if he goes north to the East China Sea, he will definitely be discovered by our sergeants, how can it be him?" ”

"That is Wu Dun, Yin Li, Sun Guan and others, who are good friends with Chang Xuan, and now seeing that Chang Xuan is trapped, he was also bewitched by Liu Bei and sent troops to rescue him." The adjutant general said again.

Yu Ban groaned a little and said: "The generals of Mount Tai have long been submissive, although they are not as good as us now, but they can also be used, not those who repeatedly colluded with Liu Bei." ”

After a pause, Yu Ban sighed and said, "If the generals of Mount Tai are good, I am afraid that they will be the generals of Huo Jun's account." ”

Xiahou Yuan lowered his head, he was defeated in an attack today, if he couldn't take Chang Xuan, he really wouldn't have the face to see Cao Cao.

"What is it like now?" Xiahou Yuan asked.

Yu Ban paced for a while, and said: "Now the two departments have been defeated, and only the forbidden headquarters can fight." The strength of the enemy army is unknown, so after dawn, he burned the camp and left, and ordered someone to probe the details of the enemy army. ”

"Good!" Xiahou Yuan said: "I wrote to Zang Langya and asked him to support our army. ”

There is one more chapter in the evening
