Chapter 707: Xiahou's Army Defeated
Xiahou Yuan didn't know that Xiayi City was also in danger at this time.
After Gan Ning and Wen Ping received Zhang Fei's order, they marched in the starry night and rushed to Xiayi, and after a short rest, they suddenly attacked Xiayi.
Li Dian was stubbornly guarding Suiyang, and his eyes were drawn to the west of Liang by Tai Shici, where would he pay attention to Xiayi. And Cao Jun in Xiayi never expected that he, who had always been safe and sound, would suddenly be exposed to the eyes of the Han army. So I had to rush to the battle.
Raising soldiers for a thousand days, used for a while, the Xuzhou army was in Xuzhou, and was trained by Guan Yu and others to be angry, and now on the battlefield, they are screaming one by one, fighting bravely. I just want to behead a few more levels and fight for fame and wealth for myself.
Han Cheng Qin system, the most important military merits, and with the leadership of the two tigers Gan Ning and Wenpin, the Xuzhou army was unstoppable. Because of the suddenness of the incident, before the Xiayi defenders could react, they were attacked by the Han army. As a result, the Han army could not catch up when it went to the city.
The defenders of Xiayi also knew that if the Han army was not driven down the city, the city would have to change its surname to Liu. When you think about it on your toes, you won't end up well. So he did his best to drive the Han army down.
The Han army finally attacked it, and saw that as long as it was held, there was hope for breaking the city. Money and fame are beckoning to you, so how can you not stick to this?
Both sides were red-eyed, eager to let the other die immediately. One by one, they roared angrily, and they couldn't wait to stab the blades in their hands into each other's bodies.
At this time, it was night, after the Han army attacked the city, the people outside the city were not idle, while sending arrows like rain, supporting the robes of the city, and on the other hand, under the command of Shangguan, attacked the four gates, and rockets were shot into the city one by one, telling the soldiers and civilians in the city that the enemy was coming!
The Cao army in the city had to fight against the Han army again, and they had to divide their energy to pacify the commotion in the city. Under the fierce attack of the Han army, it finally gradually fell out.
As soon as the Han army saw that Cao's army was shaken, they cheered: "Cao's army is defeated!" Cao's army is defeated! ”
In the dark night, the sound moved the sky, and the whole city was shocked. The army in the city heard the thunder of the Han army at the head of the city, and was terrified in their hearts, and the secret road city was broken, and it was useless to stay here, and General Xiahou was already on the way, so it was better to go to the general and turn elsewhere together.
At that moment, the plan was decided, so he gathered his troops and horses and fled out of the city in a swarm. Gan Ning and others killed and dispersed Cao Jun, opened the city gate, and entered the city, but they saw hidden movement on the other side, which made people arrest and question, and then they knew that Cao Jun in the city fled in a hurry. Where Gan Ning was willing to let go, he asked Wen Ping to guard the next town, but he led people to chase after him.
General Cao was leading his troops to flee eastward, and inadvertently looked behind him, only to see a fire dragon chasing after him in the dark night. I couldn't help but cry out secretly in my heart. So he hastened his horse and rode eastward.
Here, Xiahou Yuan was on the water, urging the soldiers to move forward in the boat, and saw that they were about to reach the ground in Xiayi, and suddenly saw a bright fire in front of him, as if an army was coming. Xiahou Hou laughed: "Reinforcements are coming!" I'm worry-free too! ”
So he turned around and shouted to the first shore: "Yide does not need to be send-off, my army has come, you should retreat quickly!" ”
Zhang Fei listened to it on the shore and laughed non-stop. Xiahou Yuan was suspicious in his heart, why did Zhang Fei laugh? Just as he was about to ask, suddenly a panicked voice came from the front: "But General Xiahou?" ”
Xiahou Yuan said: "Who are you?" ”
When that voice heard Xiahou Yuan speak, he couldn't help but cry and said, "General, humble Wu Zhou." The good general learned that the Han army had broken through Xiayi at night, and now it was chasing after him, Xiayi was no longer safe, and the general retreated quickly. ”
When Xiahou Yuan heard this, his chest suddenly felt heavy. When I looked at the flaming dragon again, my heart was full of worry instead of happiness. At the critical moment, Xiahou Yuan's mind turned, and he ordered: "Wu Zhou, you go to the left bank to form a formation to resist the enemy, and protect me ashore." ”
At this critical juncture, he could only abandon the ship and go ashore and fight to the death with the Han army. Zhang Fei on the left was not there, and his own troops came. Should be able to hold out until their fleet is safely docked.
When the time comes, if you fight hard, you won't be able to kill the general.
Wu Zhou listened and did as ordered. When Zhang Fei saw the fire dragon, he knew that it was his army. But he never expected that in front of his pursuers, there was an organized Cao army. With this new force, Xiahou Yuan will be like a tiger with wings. Zhang Feiying frowned, what are the secret Dao Xingba and Zhongye doing, and they actually let the Xiayi army escape here?
So Zhang Fei didn't leave his hand anymore, and when he saw that Xiahou Yuan wanted to escape, he ordered: "Release the arrow!" ”
At the sound of the order, countless archers poured out from the shore, and they rained down on the ships in the river. Such a target that is obviously difficult to move is the best for the archer. It is used to brush up on combat exploits, and it is very comfortable.
In the middle of the river, the sound of arrows hitting kept coming, and the Cao soldiers who were hit by the arrows screamed and fell down. There were also brave men who, under the cover of others, took bows and arrows and fired them at the shore.
Soon, the ship was docked. At the moment of life and death, Cao Jun broke out with unprecedented speed. The troops arranged by Zhang Fei on the left bank, seeing that most of Cao's army were approaching, only hid in the dark to carry out long-range attacks and harassment. Melee combat was not chosen.
When Gan Ning then arrived, joined forces with Zhang Feibing, and then attacked Xiahou Yuan. But only a broken Cao army was left here. In the dark night, Xiahou Yuan went far away.
Although he failed to keep Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Fei felt quite a pity. But the attack broke through Xiayi and intercepted a Cao army. The losses on his side can almost be ignored, so it is worth the trip.
As for the escape of the defenders of Xiayi City, Zhang Fei also asked Gan Ning, this is an accident that cannot be controlled. So Zhang Fei asked Gan Ning to go back and guard the city with Wen Ping first. Wait for him to turn around and solve Pei County, and then make a plan.
Zhang Fei grabbed Xiahou Yuan's boat, went down the water, and by the time the sky was bright, he had already arrived outside Peixian County. Zhang Fei ordered someone to surrender: "Xiahou Yuan fled in the middle of the night, and has been defeated by our army!" Pei County is already an empty city, so why don't you descend quickly? ”
Even Xiahou Yuan ran away from the Han army, and the Cao army in the city couldn't sit still. There are only a few hundred men and horses in the city, how can they hold it? In that case, there is no need to risk the lives of the brothers to do meaningless things.
So under the leadership of the captain who defended the city, Peixian surrendered Kaicheng.
Xiahou Yuan ran out for hundreds of miles in one go, and then stopped, and at dawn, he began to gather the remnants. He didn't run to Suiyang. Looking at the place, it was near Dangshan.
After thinking about it, Xiahou Yuan wrote a few letters and asked them to fly to Chen, Liang and other places. Inform yourself of the defeat of the army and the loss of Xiaopei, and then let the generals see the opportunity to act.
Then, Xiahou Yuan thought that since this was the case, he went south to Jingzhou and helped Zixiao seize Jingzhou first.
