Chapter 95: The Battle of Gangneung (4)

After fighting for several hours, Jinxiang City was crumbling, but each time it was defended by the Yellow Turban Army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Guan Yu Zhang Fei went to the city several times, but was forced down by countless bright knives and guns, Liu Bei saw that it was getting late, so he Ming Jin withdrew his troops, packed up his strength, and waited for tomorrow to fight again.

In the evening, Guan Yu said: "Lord, do you want to attack the city at night?" ”

Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Forget it, looking at today's situation, then Li Dayan is afraid that he has already taken precautions." A night raid is not advisable. I'll think about it tomorrow. ”

Guan Yu thought about it and felt that it was too. And he withdrew.

Late at night, Liu Bei had no sleep, put on his clothes and went out of the tent, strolling in the camp, only to see the night breeze blowing, the sky full of stars, and he couldn't help but miss his relatives in Zhuo County, although he had his uncle Yu Lou Sang to take care of him, after all, he was not by his side, and he hoped that the yellow scarf would not go to Zhuo County. I thought of Luo Yeke and his young daughter who were still in the mountains of Ba County, and he was also the father of two children. When the yellow scarf is calm and he is stable, he takes the children to his side, teaches them to read and learn calligraphy, takes them to play, and spoils them forever...... In this life, it can be regarded as enjoyable, Liu Bei's heart is infinitely warm.

Suddenly, there was a scream from the front camp, and then there was a loud fight. Liu Bei was shocked, hurriedly entered the account, put his sword on the armor, and when he came out to see it again, he saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and others there, and when he saw Liu Bei out of the account, he followed the guard. Liu Bei listened to the shouts and shouts of the front camp, frowned, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Fei said proudly: "I don't mean that Li Dayan, this thief, led the thief army out to steal the camp, what a big dog!" Seeing that our army was heavily guarded and had no chance to take advantage of it, he retreated again. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, this Li Dayan should be renamed Li Daring, I don't know if he is an ignorant and fearless or naturally bold, and he dares to come to steal the camp? He hasn't attacked the city yet, but he's better to come first.

After the riot calmed down, Liu Bei asked and learned that two patrolling guards had died in his house, and Li Daring left dozens of corpses and led the people to disperse.

It turned out that in front of Liu Bei's camp, there were blazing fires, if someone came to steal the camp, there must be nowhere to hide, Li Dayan saw that he couldn't get close, so he launched a rocket into the camp, which was discovered by the patrolling soldiers, and then the two sides counterattacked. Seeing that the sneak attack had almost become a strong attack, Li Da retreated, and the officers and men in the battalion did not know the depth of the enemy, so they did not pursue him.

In the early morning of the second day, after the soldiers finished eating, Liu Bei persuaded Huang Guang to surrender under the city: "Brothers in the city! The army of officers and soldiers has arrived, and Gangneung has fallen, not to mention the small town of Jinxiang? Stop resisting and hit the stone with an egg! Think about your parents, wives and children, is it worth dying in vain in this small city! If the officers and soldiers are lowered, everyone will enjoy the wealth together! ”

The Yellow Turban Army on the city wall didn't say a word, and Li Dayan shouted angrily: "Shoot me!" Then he saw a rain of arrows whistling down.

Huang Guang was startled, turned the horse's head, and said angrily: "Li Dayan, you don't fucking surrender, don't regret it then!" ”

Li Dayan laughed and said: "Lao Tzu will not regret his death, you thief who betrays the master, get out!" ”

Huang Guang was so angry that his chest kept rising and falling, and Liu Bei saw that the surrender was fruitless, so he waved his hand, and the soldiers pushed countless catapults out. Placed in front of the formation. Yesterday I was a little anxious, but today I changed my play. So Liu Bei asked people to continue to build catapults, and then let the catapults be launched to Jinxiang City. Liu Bei thought, don't send a single soldier, first smash your turtle shell, and then see where you are going to escape.

As soon as Liu Bei gave the order, he saw countless stone bullets in the air shooting towards Jinxiang City. However, in these years, catapults are easy to break, not to mention, and the accuracy is still very poor. In this round of launches, only one-fifth of Ruomo hit the city wall and became an effective attack, and the others were either off or close.

However, the effect of this catapult is truly amazing. smashed on the city wall, a big hole was smashed, some unlucky eggs were hit, and it immediately became a meat pie, and they swallowed before they had time to shout. This power undoubtedly greatly undermined the confidence of the Yellow Turban Army in the city.

Li Dayan stopped shouting, and probably went down to the city to hide from the stone bomb. Liu Bei put a desk in front of the battle, and leisurely put his hands together, letting the soldiers play on their own.

So more than 10,000 people and horses remained motionless and watched the stone bullets flying. Then the robes were exhausted, and they were replaced by another group of men under the command of the officers.

The catapult smashed all morning, the city wall did not collapse, but smashed the ground under the city wall everywhere There are pits, Liu Bei was dumbfounded, in this way, if he attacked, the stones all over the ground would be his own obstacles.

The matter has come to this, so what else is there to say, Liu Bei bit his eyes, continue to smash it, it's a big deal to bury this city wall with stones.

Strange cries from above the walls could be heard earlier, but now there was no sound at all, accompanied by a thud, a cloud of dust splattered everywhere. In the afternoon, the dwarf city walls of Tsuxiang could no longer bear it, and after being hit by a large stone, it triggered a chain reaction and the entire section collapsed.

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he saw this, waved his sword, and said, "Siege!" ”

The Han army poured in like a tidal wave.

Li Dayan resisted day by day, but could not turn the situation back. He knew that the general trend had gone, so he said to his cronies: "You can take advantage of the chaos to get out of the city and go to Nanyang." ”

The cronies said: "Isn't the general leaving!" ”

Li Dayan laughed miserably: "Go, can you go?" When you arrive in Nanyang, you don't want to fight with the official army? The world is so big, where can I go? ”

scolded away his cronies, Li Dayan retreated into the house, scolded the thief a few times, and then committed suicide by raising fire. Liu Bei was leading the crowd to chase and kill, and suddenly saw the thick smoke billowing in the city, and couldn't help but be shocked, and said: "Go and explore, don't burn the treasury!" ”

After a while, a small school came to report, saying that the thief leader Li Dayan committed suicide by setting fire at home. Liu Bei was speechless for a while. When the thieves saw that the leader was dead, they stopped resisting one by one.

There is also a group of people and horses, out of the north gate, all the way to Xiangyang.

Liu Bei was still sentimental for the Yellow Turban before, and when he saw the money and food stored in Jinxiang, he couldn't help but be angry. Yellow scarves are not produced, and all they get is plundered. This is so much money and food, but I don't know how many good families have harmed the Han Dynasty and how many families have been ruined.

Jinxiang was established, and Liu Bei sent several generals to various places, so Huarong, Dangyang and other places were recovered one by one. In a few days, except for Xiangyang, the entire territory of Nanjun was controlled by Liu Bei.

At this time, a yellow scarf in Xiangyang, Tunjun Atou Mountain, and Xiangyang City are horns of each other. There is also a natural danger of Hanshui, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Liu Bei thought about it and decided to give up attacking Xiangyang City, rest the army and enter Jiangxia, and then pacify several southern counties. In the end, the combined forces took Nanyang. Anyway, according to the information obtained so far, Nanyang can still hold on.

However, it was said that Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun each led an army and marched into Yingchuan, wanting to solve the urgency of the Beijing division. Unexpectedly, the Yellow Turban thieves were in full swing, and Zhu Jun was defeated by Bo Cai, Peng Tuo and others. Zhu Jun thought about it, he had few soldiers, but he was afraid that he was not the opponent of the Yellow Turban, since the moth thief was powerful, it was better to join forces with Huangfu Yizhen. So together with Sun Jian, he led the troops straight to Changshe.

Huangfu Songbing is based on the Changshe and Zhu Junbing. was discussing the strategy, and suddenly heard that Bao Bocai, Peng Tuo and others led a large army to come and surrounded the Chang Society.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun went out of the camp to watch the battle, only to see the yellow scarves outside the city all over the mountains, with countless flags, and they couldn't see the edge. couldn't help sighing: "The thief is like this, the invincible edge is also sharp!" So he closed his door and did not fight.

Sun Jian saw that the morale of his army was declining, so he persuaded: "General, if you keep closing your door without fighting, the morale of the army will be lost." So in the middle of the day, all the people led their generals to fight under the city, and they were killed and wounded by each other.

Huangfu Song and others went out of the city to fight, fought for a while, and retreated into the city when they saw that the situation was not good. After a long time, the morale of the Han army was restored. Morale is really a strange thing. The main purpose of the first army is to show that they are not afraid of death, and most of the children in the army will not have anything to fear. If the lord of an army is weak and retreats, the people in the army will be in turmoil.

Huangfu Song fought every day, but secretly wrote a letter of aid, and ordered the armor soldiers to be sent to Beijing without mentioning it.

However, Lu Zhi was in Jizhou, and Zhang Jiao was defeated and retreated, shrinking his troops and retreating to the fortress.

The main force of the Han army is already here, the three major battlefields of Jingzhou, Yingchuan and Jizhou. As for the yellow turbans in Youzhou, Dongjun and other places, the imperial court is powerless, but fortunately, the Son of Heaven has issued an edict for the county guards to recruit troops to resist on their own, otherwise the situation will be even more chaotic.

Zheng Xuan was in Donglai, and Liu Bei had a letter to ask Zheng Xuan to avoid trouble in Lousang, or to his own army. However, Zheng Xuan refused. As a result, the Donglai yellow scarf rose up, and he couldn't leave if he wanted to. Fortunately, the Yellow Turban Thief was afraid of Zheng Xuan's reputation and knew that he had no oil and water to fish, so he did not come to harass him.

Liu Bei's soldiers entered Jiangxia, and the army was invincible everywhere, and he surrendered countless people along the way. As soon as Jiangxia was set and the court was played, there was a messenger who reported that Zhang Man beheaded Nanyang Taishou Chu Gong and broke through Wancheng.

Liu Bei's head slammed, and he wrote to Wancheng before, instructing and instructing, just wait for help, and don't go out of the city to fight with the Yellow Turban. Why is this the case?

But it turned out that Chu Gong saw Liu Bei's recovery of Nanjun and the soldiers entered Jiangxia, and everywhere he went, triumphant songs were played, so his eyes were red and his heart was hot, and he moved his mind. I thought that even if there were many Yellow Turban thieves, they were nothing more than that. If it weren't vulnerable, then why did Liu Bei and Liu Xuande win so many battles?

People are always conceited, always thinking that they are not weaker than others. This is the case with Chu Gong. He is an old minister over the years, and how can he sit still when he sees Liu Bei, a young man who has repeatedly made military exploits. Although you can defend Wancheng behind closed doors, it is your own responsibility to defend the land, and there is something to say. If you recruit warriors out of the city, defeat the Yellow Turban thieves, and make special contributions, you can't say that you will be rewarded for your merits in the future, and you can also get a Hou Ye to do it.

Thinking of the wonderful, Chu Gong didn't want to wait any longer. Regardless of the persuasion left and right, he insisted on going his own way, insisting on going out of the city to fight the Yellow Turbans. Zhang Mancheng led more than 100,000 people, and the siege of the city was exhausted. So he was defeated for a while, and then lured Chu Gong to chase after him. Then when Chu Gong was getting farther away from Wancheng, it was impossible to escape, so with an order, the Yellow Turban thieves surrounded Chu Gong.

Zhang Man beheaded Chu Gong in a formation, and all the elites of the Han army were killed.

Liu Bei got retribution, and couldn't help but be furious, and scolded: "If you die, you will die, harm the elite of my Han army, and harm the people of Wancheng!" It's more than innocent! ”
