Chapter 231: Fan Xu Surrenders to Han
The moon is bright and the wind is clear.
Song Tai's camp seemed very silent, and these soldiers who had come from afar seemed to be asleep, and even the torches planted in front of the camp gate were burning weakly.
Fan Xu led his troops out of Qingzhou City.
The five hundred ironclad soldiers in front of them came to the front of Song Tai's camp first.
"The major general has an order, I only need to rush and kill a few back and forth inside, not to fall in love, and to buy some time for the follow-up men and horses before the enemy has time to react." A samurai commanded.
Everyone nodded.
As the first shout sounded, the roar of the war horse shattered the silence in an instant.
The ironclad army rushed into the camp of the Song Tai people.
Song Tai's men and horses were really defenseless, and they were in a mess for a while.
By the time they realized that someone had come to rob the camp, Fan Xu's ironclad army had already launched a second charge.
War horses covered in iron armor were on a rampage, not to mention the soldiers who were killed, but there were dozens of people who were trampled to death by horses.
However, Song Tai must have been a brave general who had experienced countless battles, and it didn't take long for a defensive team to be organized, countless triphorses and ropes were raised, and soldiers armed with hooks and sickles also swarmed from both sides.
The third charge of the ironclad army lost dozens of horses, and the soldiers on the horses were killed or wounded, and the screams were endless.
Nevertheless, they did buy time for the follow-up men led by Fan Xu.
Fan Xu's brigade arrived and quickly launched an all-round attack on Song Tai's camp.
Song Tai's men and horses rushed to the battle, appearing extremely passive.
However, things suddenly took a turn for the worse.
A warrior who had stayed in Qingzhou City ran to Fan Xu's horse with scars all over his body.
"Back to the major general, Qingzhou City has fallen to the enemy."
Fan Xu, who was commanding the onslaught of men and horses, was shocked when he heard this.
"Song Tai's men and horses are all here, who will take my city?"
"The people and horses are from the capital, the leader is Hao Yi, and the leader of the siege is Xu Yan." The warrior replied, "I only care about bringing people to attack Song Tai's men and horses, but I didn't expect Hao Yi and others to come to the city, and take advantage of the emptiness of our city to march into the army. ”
Fan Xu didn't expect Sima Yan to send someone in person.
"Sima Yan is really cunning, I'll be fooled." Fan Xu stomped his feet and said.
Although victory was in sight, he had to give up.
"Pass on my general order, and the people and horses will return quickly to rescue Qingzhou City."
The soldiers, who had already overthrown most of Song Tai's battalion, were also surprised to hear such an order.
As the herald repeated it again and again, everyone finally knew what was going on and began to retreat.
After a period of doubt, Song Tai immediately organized people to chase after him.
By the time Fan Xu led the men and horses back to the edge of Qingzhou City, the men and horses at the head of the city had already been replaced by Hao Yi and Xu Yan's people.
Hao Yi leaned over the city and looked at Fan Xu with a dirty face.
"General Fan Xu is unharmed, my Jin King Chitose has long expected that his father was killed, and his son will rebel, and at the same time he wants General Song Tai to lead the troops to punish him, he wants this official to come secretly with General Xu Yan. Now that your Qingzhou has been occupied by me, if General Fan Xu is willing to dismount and confess, this official will let your family go. Hao Yi said.
Fan Xu was furious and took off the hardwood bow behind him.
Hao Yi didn't wait for Fan Xu's feather arrow to shoot, and suddenly waved his hand, and several soldiers held steel knives and escorted the two women to stand beside Hao Yi.
Fan Xu was shocked.
The two women were his mother and sister.
"Does General Fan Xu want to see the two die in the city with his own eyes?" Hao Yi laughed.
Fan Xu shook on the horse's back.
Xu Yan, who was standing beside Hao Yi, became a little impatient, pointed at Fan Xu and shouted, "You thief, have you ever known your general Xu Yan?" ”
Fan Xu tried to force himself to calm down.
"Pifu, using the human mother as a threat, such a villain's behavior, if the former Tiger Marquis Xu Chu is still here, wouldn't he have to die in shame in the city?"
"It turned out that the descendant of the dignified Tiger Marquis was originally in charge of such villain behavior?" A warrior who followed Fan Xu wasted no time in shouting.
Xu Yan's face changed color instantly.
"Why did General Ben come from this villainous act? This is all done by Lord Hao Yi. When General Ben goes down to the city and captures you, I want you to have nothing to say. Xu Yan said that he turned his head and was about to go down to the city.
"General Xu can't." Hao Yi shouted, "Song Tai's men and horses will soon chase after him, and then I will wait for the two sides to attack, Fan Xu can be captured, why should General Xu be in a hurry?" ”
"Fan Xu despises my father and son, and this general will behead them with his own hands." Where is Xu Yan willing to listen.
Not long after, Xu Yan had already led his hundred personal soldiers to rush out of the city gate.
"When the last general goes to fight this guy, the young general can take the opportunity to attack the city." The warrior beside Fan Xu said.
Everyone underestimated Xu Yan's combat power.
The samurai's war horse approached Xu Yan, and the two long knives staggered in the air, and the samurai exclaimed, and the long knives were knocked down, and then the sword flashed, and the samurai's body was cut off.
Fan Xu was shocked and was about to step forward.
At this time, the men and horses led by Song Tai arrived and attacked Fan Xu's men and horses from behind.
Xu Yan brandished a long knife and rushed over.
Hao Yi commanded the men and horses in the city to then kill.
Although Fan Xu tried his best to rush and kill, he was attacked by the enemy on his back, and Xu Yan was brave and invincible, and blood and flesh flew everywhere he passed, and people and horses slammed to the ground.
Several guards around Fan Xu were all killed by Xu Yan.
"The major general must not fight again." A samurai desperately protected Fan Xu to escape,
Fortunately, there were still several warriors following Fan Xu's side and working together to block Xu Yan.
Fan Xu looked back and saw his mother and sister shivering in the cold wind at the head of the city, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
After retreating more than 20 miles in defeat, everyone stopped their footsteps.
Fan Xu knelt in the direction of Qingzhou City and cried bitterly.
"Major General, don't be so sad." A samurai dissuaded, "The last general thinks that Hao Yi, Song Tai and others have just occupied Qingzhou City, and in order to buy people's hearts, they will never do anything to the old lady and young lady." We just need to find a place to live for the time being, and then reorganize our men and horses to take the city. ”
Fan Xu wiped away a handful of tears.
"Do you know, my sister has a strong temperament, if Song Tai enters the city and mentions the past marriage, my sister will definitely die and be determined. If my sister dies, how can my mother live alone? ”
The crowd immediately lost their voices.
After a long time, Fan Xu stood up and glanced back at the scattered soldiers behind him.
"Hao Yi and Song Tai are together, we have no hope of revenge, what other tricks do the generals have to teach me?"
The crowd bowed their heads and remained silent.
I don't know who it is, but he suddenly let out a long sigh timidly, and whispered, "The young general is suspicious, the last general thinks that at this time, we have no way out, it is better to temporarily join Shu Han, and in the future, with the help of the power of the queen there will be a chance for revenge." ”
"That makes sense." Another voice sounded, "The people who look at the world, the only one who can compete with Sima Yan's family is the queen of Shu Han." And I heard that this person is brave and resourceful, he has just occupied the mediocrity, defeated Jiang Chongda and Hao Yi, if the major general wants revenge, this person can't help. ”
Fan Xu lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and a few words popped out between his teeth: "According to the words of the generals." ”
