Chapter 188: The Great Battle in the City
Liu Bei had bad intentions for Yizhou from the beginning, and the soldiers and horses had already been arranged. This time, the secret of the soldiers and horses brought was hidden somewhere in Chengdu. In order to hide people's eyes, Xu Shu designed to disperse these soldiers and horses, and then concentrated, successfully evading the spies in Yizhou.
"Father, Liu Bei had soldiers and horses to attack Chengdu so quickly, as well as a sneak attack on the city gate, and finally revealed his wolf ambitions." Liu Xun heard the news and immediately came to Liu Zhang and said. "At this moment, troops should be sent to intercept and kill immediately!"
"Good, good! My son immediately led the soldiers and horses to intercept him. Liu Zhang realized that something was wrong and asked Liu Xun to lead the troops.
Liu Xun took the order to go, and when he left, he ordered the soldiers of the state capital to be defended and not to be attacked by Liu Bei's soldiers and horses.
On the other side, Wei Yan and Liao Li finally converged.
"Gongyuan, are you fast? As soon as I arrive, you will open the gates. It saves a lot of time. Wei Yan wiped the big knife in his hand, and under his feet was the guard of the West City Gate who had been killed by him before.
Liao Li said flatteringly: "I've been with the lord and General Wei for so long, and I've learned something in the next place. If it weren't for General Wei's speed and attracting the attention of the guards, he wouldn't have been able to make a surprise attack. General Wei is the first credit. ”
Wei Yan was very useful to Liao Li's flattery, kicked away the dead man on the ground, and said: "Gongyuan, wait until Liu Zhang is taken, we can't waste time, lest other soldiers and horses in Chengdu City surround us, it will not be good." ”
"Yes, General Wei is really far-sighted." Liao Li's sycophants are still constant. "It is estimated that these wastes of the Yizhou Army will have no courage when they see General Wei's banner, and they will be killed by General Wei without leaving a piece of armor."
Wei Yan led a part of the soldiers and horses to guard the West City Gate, he was worried that if he failed, the West City Gate would also be a back road. But Wei Yan really thought too much. Liu Bei is now desperate, if he fails, in Yizhou, where is his way to live.
"General Wei, this west city gate will be handed over to you. Even if you don't want to fight for your life, you will keep this place! Wait here for the good news of General Wei. Liao Li took the initiative to take over the responsibility of guarding the city gate.
Wei Yan agreed to this suggestion and immediately entered the city with the remaining soldiers and horses.
Chengdu City was in turmoil, and Wei Yan opened a killing ring at the West City Gate, which soon spread throughout Chengdu City.
And all the forces in Yizhou were shocked, they never expected Liu Bei to adopt such an extreme way. Extremes are extremes, but all forces think that Liu Bei should have a good reason. If you don't have a good reason to do it to Liu Zhang, let alone Chengdu, the whole of Yizhou will not recognize him.
Liu Bei and Xu Shu had long expected this, and they had previously ordered Wei Yan to act in the name of avenging Liu Feng. This has also reached the ears of all forces. Liu Bei's son Liu Feng was killed by Liu Zhang's son.
Now the big guy finally understands why Liu Bei did it. It is rumored that Liu Bei has lost his ability as a man, and finally accepted an adopted son who is angry, and is waiting for the old age to be sent to the end, and now Liu Zhang's son has killed Liu Feng, what do you let Liu Bei do?
Let Liu Zhang hand over the murderer and avenge Liu Feng? No kidding, this is Yizhou, Liu Zhang is Yizhou Mu, even if his son kills Liu Bei's parents, on the bright side, Liu Bei is helpless.
To avenge his son, Liu Bei played under this banner and let it go.
Some people began to sympathize with Liu Bei, thinking that Liu Bei was so old, he lost his son at this time, and the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, who can accept this kind of pain? Some people even think that it is uncertain whether Liu Bei will die because of this.
Zhang Song received Fa Zheng's notice early, but his reaction was not so excited. Previously discussed with Fa Zheng to help Liu Bei take Yizhou, and at the same time secretly borrowed Liu Bei's hand to eliminate some disobedient people, with such an idea, Zhang Song closed the door of the house and did not go out for half a step.
This approach is not exclusive to Zhang Song alone, but also to other people who are watching the changes. Among them, there are also people who are very optimistic about Liu Bei, waiting for Liu Bei to occupy Chengdu before making plans.
Liu Zhang also has die-hard loyalists, such as Huang Quan and Wang Ti, who have long expressed Liu Bei's wolf ambitions in public, and when they heard that Wei Yan brought soldiers and horses into Chengdu, they took their own families and guards without saying a word, and came out with weapons to fight.
What Huang Quan hates most is a hypocrite like Liu Bei, and he regrets that Liu Zhang does not listen to his good words.
"Lord, lord, why don't you listen to my golden and jade words, Liu Bei is clearly a white-eyed wolf. Thankfully, it's not too late. Huang Quan was very happy in his heart.
Huang Quan, Wang Lei and others were scattered all over Chengdu, but they all marched towards Liu Zhang's state governor's mansion. At a junction, Huang Quan and Wang Lei converged with the family nursing home.
"Lord Huang, you're here." Wang Lei said to Huang Quan.
Huang Quan didn't have too much politeness with Wang Lei, and asked directly: "Lord Wang, you can see Liu Bei's thieves and his minions along the way. ”
"Along the way, I haven't seen Liu Bei and his minions, so I guess I'm rushing here." Wang Lei said.
Huang Quan said, "Did the other adults rush to the state pastor?" ”
After hearing about this, he brought his family with him, and did not see any movement of other adults. But it doesn't take long for other adults to come. Wang Lei said.
"Okay, Lord Wang, please take your family to the direction of the West Gate, if you meet other adults, join them and block Liu Bei's minions Wei Yan. Liu Bei has few soldiers, we have 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, block Wei Yan for a while, don't let him kill the state pastor's mansion. As soon as most of the soldiers and horses arrived, Liu Bei would be dead. Huang Quan said.
Regarding this matter, Wang Lei did not have any objection at all, and said directly: "Since this is the case, I will go down to block Wei Yan's house." Lord Huang, please hurry to the lord as soon as possible. I am worried that Liu Bei's thieves have other conspiracies. ”
"Good!" Huang Quan bowed his hand and rushed to the state governor's mansion with his subordinates.
Before Wang Lei and Huang Quan left, a large number of soldiers and horses led by Wei Yan appeared not far from them.
"Wei Yan!" Wang Lei and Huang Quan screamed.
"It turned out to be two old things! Brothers, rush forward, these two old guys are Liu Zhang's minions, kill them! Wei Yan said bloodthirstily.
"Kill!" Wei Yan's soldiers rushed towards Wang Lei and Huang Quan one by one.
Liu Bei's reason for moving the army was to avenge Liu Feng, but to be honest, this reason really couldn't arouse the morale of Liu Bei's army. Liu Bei and Xu Shu know this well. There is no morale, and the battle is really a bit hanging, in case the Yizhou army in Chengdu resists fiercely, this Liu Beijun will disperse in a hurry.
In order to ensure the morale of the soldiers, Liu Bei signaled Wei Yan to say in front of the soldiers that after the matter was completed, he would allow the soldiers to plunder. Chengdu City is so prosperous, the people in the city are very rich, not to mention those families who live in high-rise buildings, taking advantage of the chaos and looting, it is enough for an ordinary soldier to live the rest of his life beautifully.
When a soldier eats food, isn't the picture just about food and clothing? If you can get a large sum of money, it will be better. Who the hell wants to pin his head to his waist, and live today without knowing what will happen tomorrow.
As soon as Liu Bei's order was issued, his troops aroused high combat effectiveness and morale. However, Liu Bei would not say that he gave the order, if something happened, it would naturally be borne by Wei Yan, the leading figure. How could Uncle Liu, who is incomparable in benevolence and righteousness, allow the soldiers below to loot, it is complete nonsense. However, in the chaos of war, some soldiers who have no culture can do something out of the ordinary. Uncle Liu Huang will definitely punish them severely. But hasn't it happened yet? No hurry!
Xu Shu was very helpless about this. Doing extraordinary things at extraordinary times, Xu Shu knew that Liu Bei's order could maximize the morale of the soldiers, and after taking Yizhou, he would come to rectify military discipline. And Xu Shu didn't understand one thing, the root cause of the problem of military discipline is here in Liu Bei, and only when Liu Bei changes can the rectification of military discipline be realized.
The soldiers led by Wei Yan pounced on Wang Lei and Huang Quan like hungry wolves, these soldiers had experienced a lot of battles, and they could see at a glance that these people in front of them were some family members and nurses and the like, and if they fought alone, they might even threaten them. But as soon as they swarmed up, the combat effectiveness of these family members and the nursing home was probably only five.
Indeed, as soon as Wang Lei and Huang Quan brought people into contact with Liu Beijun, they were killed, and even Wang Lei and Huang Quan didn't expect Liu Beijun to be so strong, they seemed to have underestimated Liu Bei before. Not only did they underestimate Liu Bei, they also overestimated themselves. took the family and the courtyard out to fight with Liu Bei, a veteran of the battlefield, Wang Lei and Huang Quan were too bold.
"How so?" Huang Quan couldn't believe his eyes, why things were different from what he thought.
Wang Lei immediately said, "Lord Huang, let's withdraw immediately!" Don't stay here for long! Otherwise, the whole army will be wiped out! ”
Huang Quan really wants to scold Wang Ti, is it too late to say withdraw now? Wei Yan's soldiers and horses have already been killed, if they retreat before this, it will be okay, but if they retreat now, it will become a rout. Huang Quan knows some things on the battlefield, and the biggest casualties are often the flight after the rout.
What's more, Huang Quan took a look at his body and Wang Lei's weak body, which was able to block several attacks from those jackals, tigers and leopards on the opposite side. The Jiading Nursing Home of the two was no match for Wei Yan's soldiers, and the Jiading Nursing Home that killed the two of them frequently retreated. Such a situation made Huang Quan and Wang tired. I can't say that they all have to explain it here today.
"Wei Yan dog thief! You, Grandpa Liu Xun, are here! At the critical moment, as the son of Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang, Liu Xun took 5,000 soldiers and horses to kill directly.
What a savior! Liu Xun's arrival made Wang Lei and Huang Quan seem to have a new life. What they were thinking about just now was waiting for the large army in Chengdu City
Liu Xun also saw Huang Quan and Wang Lei, and was in awe of these two adults in his heart. From the time he mobilized 5,000 soldiers and horses from the Chengdu Soldiers and Horses Battalion to rush to the west gate, he did not encounter any officials who spontaneously came out with their families and guards along the way, and more of them closed their homes. Wang Lei and Huang Quan can take the initiative so much, doesn't it prove their loyalty to Liu Zhang? To be loyal to Liu Zhang is to be loyal to Liu Xun. Liu Xun definitely wants to ensure the safety of these two old guys.
The Yizhou army in Chengdu is elite, and their combat effectiveness is not much worse than the soldiers and horses brought by Wei Yan. As soon as the two came into contact, they collided with fierce sparks.
"Two adults, please stand back! Let me come and meet Wei Yan! Liu Xun brandished his spear and killed Wei Yan.
Wang Lei and Huang Quan felt appreciation for Liu Xun's behavior, and saw that only such a brave and fearless eldest son Liu Xun could lead them to defeat Liu Bei. Huang Quan and Wang Lei made a decision in their hearts, and after they cleaned up Liu Bei, they would recommend Liu Xun as the heir of Yanzhou Mu. In the hearts of these two people, Liu Xun will definitely be able to defeat Wei Yan.
At the same time, Liu Xun also thinks so.
A lot of times in life is a slap in the face. Wei Yan stabbed at Liu Xun, who rushed over. The speed of the knife was extremely fast, and Liu Xun was too late to dodge, so he directly used the spear to block. In this block, Wei Yan's huge strength made Liu Xun know a word, which he couldn't measure. If it weren't for Liu Xun's ability at hand, it would have been possible for the tiger's mouth to collapse on the spot.
"How powerful do you think? So that's all there is to it? Tell you, Ben hasn't done it yet! "Wei Yan is about to come to the second blow when he uses the big knife.
"Damn!" Liu Xun kept dodging and was beaten by Wei Yan.
The strength is not as good as Wei Yan, and Liu Xun has no effect even if he can say it with his mouth.
Huang Quan looked at Liu Xun who was beaten very embarrassed in a daze, he saw Liu Xun's demeanor just now but he was extremely heroic, how can it be like the rhythm of being counter-killed now.
Wang Lei didn't follow Huang Quan in a daze, he said to Huang Quan: "Lord Huang, the eldest prince is in danger now, let's go and support him now." ”
When Huang Quan heard this, he complained in his heart: Just the two of us, still go to support? Isn't it sent to death!?
But Huang Quan's mind turned, and he arched his hand and said: "What Lord Wang said is very true, but Wei Yan's fight is very strong, Lord Wang immediately led troops to support the eldest prince, and went down to find reinforcements for Lord Wang and the eldest prince, and retired for the time being." ”
After finishing speaking, regardless of Wang Lei's reaction, Huang Quan left directly. As soon as he left, the family nursing home also followed.
Wang Ti was so gloomy that it was frightening, and this time he finally saw Huang Quan's personality, greedy for life and afraid of death.
"Huang Gongheng is nothing more than that! Brave people! After Wang Lei scolded, he rushed up with his own family.
Compared with Huang Quan, Wang Lei is indeed loyal to Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang's son is in danger, and Wang Lei will definitely go to support regardless of his own safety.
A sword in Wang Lei's hand slashed around, looking chaotic, but each sword could slash or kill a soldier of Liu Bei, and it was hidden deeply.
After some hard work, Wang Ti killed Wei Yan and Liu Xun, and stabbed a sword at Wei Yan's head.
Wei Yan was focused on the battle with Liu Xun, and was thinking about killing Liu Xun with a big move next, Wei Yan knew that Liu Xun was Liu Zhang's son, and killing him would hit Liu Zhang's morale hard. But he really didn't expect that an old man could rush to his side without knowing it.
"I'm gone!" Wei Yan cursed a foul word, and withdrew his big knife to block Wang Lei's stabbing that he was determined to win.
The blow was not successful, Wang Lei did not rush forward, and directly pulled Liu Xun to retreat. Wang Ti is a bit of a means, but he is a little old, and his physical strength can't keep up.
"Eldest son, are you okay?" Wang Ti was panting, the blow just now was already the limit of Wang Ti, and it would be impossible to fight again.
Liu Xun said very gratefully: "Thank you, Lord Wang, Lord Wang is deeply hidden." ”
Wei Yan was about to kill Liu Xun just now, but he was disturbed by an old guy, and his face was lost.
"Old man! You're dead! Wei Yan's whole body burst out with a murderous aura.
"Oh no, this guy is going to get serious." Liu Xun was in a cold sweat.
Liu Xun had no way to help Wei Yan just now, but now that Wei Yan has made up his mind to break out, Liu Xun really doesn't know if he can beat it.
"Eldest son, you go back to the squad first!" Wang Lei said impassionedly: "The old man is here to resist one or two. ”
Liu Xun was simply moved, Wang Ti saved his life just now, and now he asked him to withdraw first, this is a great loyal minister.
At this time, there was a shout of killing at the other end of the street.
"Could it be that the rescuers are coming?" Wang Lei and Liu Xun were overjoyed.
"General Wei, Fu Shiren is here!" Reality slapped Wang Lei and Liu Xun in the face, not their rescuers, but Liu Bei's people.
Wei Yan was so happy that he shouted: "You are dead, hurry up and arrest you, I can spare you from death!" ”
"Withdraw!" Wang Lei and Liu Xun said in unison.
At this moment, if Wang Lei and Liu Xun don't retreat, their fate will only be failure. For Wei Yan's promise to spare them from dying, Wang Lei and Liu Xun would not believe it. Liu Bei is such a hypocritical person, Wei Yan is Liu Bei's righteous brother, things gather people in groups, and his integrity is really worrying.
Wang Lei and Liu Xun didn't care about anything else, and left with the soldiers and horses, and the remaining troops who were fighting with Wei Yan's soldiers and horses could only be abandoned.
"Want to go!? It's not that easy! Wei Yan would not let them go, and chased them over with elite soldiers.
"General Wei, poor Kou Mo chase!" Fu Shiren rushed behind Wei Yan and hurriedly shouted.
Wei Yan stopped and said dissatisfiedly: "Fu Shiren, you actually dare to order me? ”
"Oh, no, no, General, you misunderstood. It was the Lord who asked me to deliver orders to you. Fu Shiren immediately took out a strip of cloth and handed it to Wei Yan.
After Wei Yan saw it, he already understood in his heart, and said, "Since it was ordered by the eldest brother, then the general is to blame you." Now let's do what Big Brother says. ”
