Chapter 177: Xiangyang Cannon
Within a radius of 100 miles, Wei Xuan's 300,000 troops and Yuan Shao's nearly 400,000 horses were gathered, and it was actually difficult to break through each one, and the action must be both rapid and hidden, and Wei Xuan was almost ready to use the Qiankun bag to smuggle his troops away.

At this time, Guo Jia offered advice: "The subordinates will rob Yuan Shao's camp tonight under the banner of the lord, Yuan Shao will not be able to hold out, and the lord can take advantage of the time to lead the army to sneak to Tangyin." ”
Wei Xuan took Guo Jia's suggestion, leaving Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Le Jin, and Gao Shun to assist Guo Jia in feinting to attack Yuan Shao's camp, and he himself led 50,000 iron horsemen, with people and horses, and rushed to Tangyin at night.
It was only a hundred miles from Yanyang to Tangyin, and the cavalry galloped with all their might, and they could arrive in two hours. However, after walking for more than an hour, Wei Xuan suddenly restrained the team.
Lu Bu said strangely: "The soldiers are fast, why is the lord hesitant?"
Wei Xuan said in a deep voice: "Ju Yi also has some means, and he actually set up an ambush here. ”
It turned out that because it was a night march, Wei Xuan did not hesitate to expend source power along the way and opened his divine sense, so he knew that there were many life breaths on both sides of the road ahead, and there were two of them, and the breath was very strong, almost comparable to Dian Wei and Lu Bu. Ju Yi attacked Tang Yin, and what he asked for was also the word "fast". He can think of reinforcements to guard against the rotation in advance, and he can be regarded as a general.
Lu Bu still didn't believe it, and said: "If there is an ambush, the birds and birds will definitely be alarmed, and the lord will be suspicious." ”
Wei Xuan didn't explain, took a torch, and threw it as hard as he could on the right side of the road. I only heard a "boom", and a large flame suddenly rose from the place where the torch fell. Of course, a small torch does not have such power, but in fact, Wei Xuan secretly used fire-based high-level magic to create a sea of fire.
In the skyrocketing firelight, hundreds of ambush soldiers screamed and rolled on the ground, and finally turned into piles of ashes. Wei Xuan's team originally only lit a few dozen torches, but now under the light of the sea of fire, it was exposed. However, at the same time, there are also those ambush soldiers.
The ambush soldiers knew that they couldn't hide their tracks, so they had to kill them from both sides of the road, led by three people, one with a red face and a long beard, one with a leopard head and ringed eyes, and one with big ears, which were the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang. It turned out that Ju Yi disliked Liu Bei's weaving mat and peddlers, and was unwilling to share the credit with him, so he asked him to set up an ambush here and take on the task of helping.
When Wei Xuan saw Liu Bei holding a double-strand sword and riding on a horse with a deliberate attitude, he felt that his head was green, and he wanted to laugh but tried his best to endure it, and his expression was a little weird.
Liu Bei was horrified by him, and couldn't help asking, "Who are you, why are you laughing?"
At this time, Liu Bei had not yet married Ganmei, Mi Zhen, Wu Jie and others, and Wei Xuan couldn't tell him that he had slept with his three wives, so he had to cough dryly and said: "Gu is the Duke of Chu Wei Xuan, who came to ask you for the crime of confessing to the emperor by the edict of the Son of Heaven! If you see the opportunity, you should come down early, and you can avoid death!"
Liu Bei said loudly: "After a certain book of King Jing of Zhongshan, how can you pretend to say it!"
Wei Xuan laughed and said: "That Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, was extravagant, and gave birth to more than 100 children, and children and grandchildren, and grandchildren, I don't know how many." If you admit it, who will argue between truth and falsehood?"
Liu Bei saw that his little trick was seen through by Wei Xuan, he was a little annoyed, and shouted: "Wei Xuan is holding the emperor hostage and plotting against him, who will capture him!"
Guan Yu rode forward and said in a loud voice: "Guard thief, look at the knife!"
Lu Bu danced Fang Tian's halberd, stopped Guan Yu, and shouted: "Hugh is going to be rampant, Lu Bu is here!"
The two horses intersected, the two fought in one place, the knives came and went, and more than 30 were evenly matched.
Zhang Fei saw it in the formation, a spear of eight snakes, and shouted: "Second brother, so-and-so is here to help you!"
Lu Bu shook his spirits, fought against Guan and Zhang Erjun, and was inseparable.
Wei Xuan didn't have any leisure to see the three heroes fighting Lu Bu, so he raised his horse whip and said sharply: "We are here to relieve the siege of Tangyin, how can we fight here!
The cavalry of the Chu army shouted, and rode forward together. Liu Bei's subordinates were mostly foot soldiers, and they couldn't resist it, and they were in chaos. Although Guan and Zhang were brave, they were also outnumbered, so they had to commit suicide and flee in the wilderness. Liu Bei didn't have the ability of the two of them, so he was captured alive by Lu Busheng and made a prisoner.
Wei Xuan was going to behead Liu Bei, but he knew that Liu, Guan, and Zhang were righteous, and if they killed Liu Bei at this time, Guan and Zhang would definitely go crazy to avenge Liu Bei. Although Wei Xuan was not afraid, after all, he couldn't prevent it, and he didn't want these two people to destroy the peaceful situation he had built up with great difficulty, so he had to order Liu Bei to be detained in the army and continue to march towards Tangyin.
After walking for another half an hour, the sound of "dong dong" war drums came from the front, but it was Ju Yi who led the army to attack Tangyin City overnight. Although Tangyin is only a small county town, Xu Huang is cautious and has arranged the city defense for many days, attacking and defending, and the battle is very stalemate. Of course, Ju Yi's troops are twice as strong as Xu Huang's, as long as he is willing to fill it with his life, the destruction of Tangyin City is only a matter of time or time.
It's a pity that Ju Yi never imagined that Wei Xuan's reinforcements would come so quickly. It stands to reason that if Wei Xuan sent reinforcements, it would be impossible for Yuan Shao not to know, and it would be impossible not to send troops to intercept them. However, Yuan Shao saw that the Chu army was attacking his large camp, and he was holding on with all his might, where could he still care about intercepting reinforcements.
Wei Xuan knew that this rescue relied on surprise and unpreparedness, and he launched a charge two miles away from Ju Yi's rear army, and the Chu army's iron cavalry gave full play to the advantage of riding and shooting, and while riding a horse and galloping, he threw the arrows like a torrential rain.
In Tangyin City, Xu Huang saw the chaos of Juyi's army and horses, and knew that the reinforcements had arrived, so he also opened the city to kill. Ju Yi's army was attacked by the enemy on his back and was killed and scattered in all directions. Wei Xuan pursued and killed all the way until Neihuang stopped, and killed more than 40 Yuan generals below Cao Ren, and won a complete victory.
......
At dawn the next day, Wei Xuan, Guo Jia, and Xu Huang each collected their troops and returned to the camp, and suddenly there was a report from the Malay: "Yuan Shao has another 200,000 horses to arrive in Neihuang!"
Yuan Shao was defeated twice, and he collected the remnants of the army and gained another 150,000 troops, plus the left wing army of Zhang He and Gao Lan, there were still 550,000 troops. And Yuan Shao also learned a lesson, no longer divided the troops, and set up a company camp between Neihuang and Fanyang, and advanced step by step, to find a decisive battle against Weixuan.
Don't look at Wei Xuan, who has already entered the Black Iron God Fetal Realm, but if he really has to face the strangulation of so many people and horses, he can't resist it either. If Yuan Shao really gathered superior forces to fight with him hard, it would be really difficult to deal with, unless he used the art of earth practice and directly assassinated Yuan Shao.
At this time, 50,000 soldiers and horses also arrived in Xiangyang. The 200,000 Chu troops stationed in Jianyang, whether they feinted to attack Fanyang or rescued Tangyin, fought hard all night, and they were all tired, but the arrival of this new force relieved Wei Xuan's urgent need. Wei Xuan immediately ordered the 50,000 men to be responsible for the guard and defense, and the rest of the people went back to the camp to rest.
Wei Xuan also returned to his big tent.
But I saw that Du Su'e presented a letter and said: "Lang Jun, Mrs. has a letter." ”
Wei Xuan opened the letter and saw that there was a pattern sandwiched inside, and three words were written on it: "Xiangyang cannon." ”
