Chapter 683 If you have the ability, come and cut off my head
A Wei general next to Wen Ping heard this, and was embarrassed: "General, we came lightly and did not carry torches, if it is dark today, if you want to arrest Guan Yu, I am afraid that we will have to wait until dawn." ”
The Wei State came from Jiangxia, and except for carrying weapons, it only brought ten days of food, and there was nothing else.
To fight at night, you must use torches, it is easy to make torches, it is easy to say simple, it is simple to say, take a wooden stick with a fork on it, put flammable pine dry firewood in it, tie it with a strip of cloth, pour some fire oil, so that the torch will be very resistant to burning.
Although it is simple to make torches, it is very difficult for the Wei army today, wooden sticks, dry firewood is fine, even if the black light is blind, you can also grope some in the forest, but this fire oil, cloth Wei Jun can't take it out.
Although you don't need a strip of oil cloth to make a torch, this kind of torch is not resistant to burning, and it will burn out in ten or twenty minutes, unlike a torch with cloth strips and oil, which can be burned for an hour or two.
If Guan Yu was to be attacked with such a simple torch, the Wei army was afraid that most of the manpower would need to be put into the work of making torches in order to maintain the lighting needed for the attack.
Wen Ping listened to the general's words, thought for a while and said, "In this way, leave two thousand soldiers and horses here to watch the defenders of Xiangyang, and you take the others to take Fancheng down." There must be these tools in Fancheng, and there are even other weapons such as bows and arrows, and when they are ready, they will immediately lead their troops to Atou Mountain to capture Guan Yu. ”
Now that the plan has deviated, Guan Yu fled to Atou Mountain, and now it is dark, the defenders of Xiangyang City have also made some preparations because of Guan Yu's help, and they have selected more than 1,000 reliable soldiers from the surrendered troops, and now it is a little difficult to take Xiangyang.
Therefore, Wen Pin can only choose to capture Guan Yu and capture Guan Yu first, so that Guan Yu can be used to force the Han army in the city to surrender.
As for Fancheng, Guan Yu took all the soldiers and horses in Fancheng away, and there must be no soldiers and horses in Fancheng now, so Wen Ping planned to send people to take Fancheng to obtain supplies.
General Wei's eyes lit up, and he said to Wen Ping: "General, your injury is not light, just go to Fancheng with me, and you will stay in Fancheng to rest later." Guan Yu has more than 200 horses left, and I will definitely be able to take him down before tomorrow. ”
"Wait!" Wen Ping saw that there were many more soldiers at the head of Xiangyang City, and knew that it was the guards who chose the soldiers to come and defend the city, so he got up with the support of the soldiers, looked at the head of Xiangyang City and shouted: "Brothers at the head of the city, I think you all know who I am, right?" I know that you were forced to surrender to Shu out of desperation, you are Wei people, how can you be a prisoner of Shu?
Now that I have led my troops to the city, why don't you take up arms, kill the Shu people around you and let us into the city? As long as Xiangyang is taken, Liu Chan's army will undoubtedly be defeated without food, and you will be able to go home again. ”
The guards at the head of the city heard this, and hurriedly looked at the Wei soldiers around them, these people were all selected, their ancestral homes were around Fancheng, and the surrounding areas of Fancheng had long been taken down by Liu Chan and included in the rule of the Han Dynasty, so these Wei troops could be used, because if you rebel, your family would definitely be affected.
Fortunately, most of these Wei soldiers did not react, only a few people looked at their companions around them, and when they saw that their companions did not react, they also suppressed those careful thoughts in their hearts.
The guard general was worried that someone had bad intentions, so he said: "Brothers, don't listen to Wen Ping's nonsense, this world is a big man, and Wei is just committing chaos.
Brothers, ask yourself, "What have I done to you during this time?" Have you ever missed three meals a day? What if you help Wenpin capture Xiangyang? Your Majesty has already captured Nanyang, is there still a shortage of grain and grass? When the time comes, when he comes back with his army, how can you get good fruit to eat?
For example, it has been in turmoil for so many years today, after Your Majesty takes Nanyang, you can march into Luoyang and destroy Wei in one fell swoop, if you still want to fight, rebel, my Wang Zhi's head is stretched here, you can cut it off! ”
Wang Zhi said, stretching his neck in front of a Wei army soldier who was looking around and had rebellious thoughts just now.
The soldier was startled, retreated again and again, waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, general, I won't rebel, and I don't want to fight anymore, but if anyone wants to attack Xiangyang, I'll fuck it!" ”
Wang Zhi retracted his neck, looked at Wen Ping under the city and shouted: "Wen Ping, I advise you not to waste your thoughts, if you want to die or not be afraid of death, just continue to stay in Jingzhou, and wait for Your Majesty to lead the troops back, you will feel good." ”
The first general said to Wen Ping: "General, I am afraid that those soldiers are all selected by the Shu army, and the soldiers who are from the vicinity of Fancheng do not dare to rebel easily." ”
"That's it!" Wen Ping sighed and said: "Go back to Fancheng first, and prepare to capture Guan Yu, as long as you take Guan Yu, you can say anything." ”
In the river outside Xiangyang City, many warships were stopped, and while the blood was slight, Wen Ping left two thousand soldiers and horses, and took the others to Fancheng on the north bank.
There were no soldiers and horses on Fancheng's side, Wen Ping specially ordered someone to bring two ladders over, the soldiers climbed the ladders, and he had no one to stop them, but after a while, the city gate opened, and the soldiers and horses entered Fancheng.
There are a lot of materials hoarded in the city, which were hoarded when Zhou Tai led the troops to defend the city, the grain and grass, the weapons are very sufficient, and there is no shortage of torches, because I was worried that the Han army would attack the city day and night, so the city prepared a lot of torches, these torches have been made, as long as they are dipped in some fire oil, they can be used.
After taking the guy's affairs, Wen Ping ordered the deputy general to take the men and horses and kill Atou Mountain.
Atou Mountain was originally a defense line of Xiangyang City, relying on the mountain to build a checkpoint and fortress. Guan Yu led more than 200 people to escape to Atou Mountain, ordering soldiers to guard the checkpoint along the way, and finally Guan Yu came to the fortress on the top of the mountain with a dozen personal soldiers.
"Boil some hot water!" There were also living utensils in the fortress, and a personal soldier who knew a little about trauma ordered the soldiers to boil a pot of boiling water and came to Guan Yu's side: "General, let me see your injuries!" ”
Guan Yu sat on the bed with a pale face, and let his soldiers take off their armor.
The armor was taken off, and the coat was removed, only to see that Guan Yu's left shoulder socket had a wound the size of a copper coin, and the blood around the wound had scabbed, but blood was still oozing from time to time in the middle.
The soldiers waited for the water to boil, cleaned Guan Yu's wound with hot water, and put the gold sore medicine they carried with him for Guan Yu, and continued to find it in the package, and after a while, he frowned and said, "It's a disaster, Ma Boiling was lost during the battle." ”
Ma boiling powder is an anesthetic created by Hua Tuo, generally traumatic injuries require surgery, or suturing the wound, or taking arrows to cut the flesh, it will be painful, and the pain will not be conducive to the operation. After eating Hua Tuo's hemp boiling powder, the person will be lethargic and lose his sense of pain, so that the operation can be performed.
Originally, Hua Tuo's medical skills were lost in history, but now although Hua Tuo has died of illness, his medical skills have been handed down, especially Ma Boiling San, which has been widely used in the army. Even many soldiers have some knowledge of the treatment of external injuries.
Guan Yu took a look at his wound, this wound can't be dressed with medicine alone, it has to be stitched up, so this pro-soldier must want to stitch up the wound for himself. Thinking of this, Guan Yu waved his hand and said, "If the hemp is boiling, throw it away, just stitch it up!" ”
