Chapter 71: The Battle of Wancheng (8)
Tyumen was rearing his rear, sheltering the defeated soldiers and resisting the attacks of the pursuers in the city, when he suddenly saw a rocket flying from the city wall, streaking across the night sky like a meteor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Tyuming knew that something was wrong, and urged the troops to retreat quickly.
As if a little spark flew into an oil drum, a pillar of fire suddenly burst out of the city, dyeing almost the entire sky red, Zhu Jun's army was a little farther away, only slightly affected, but Tyumen's rear team was all caught in the circle of fire.
Lu Jun, the commander of Jiujiang, saw that there were waves of fire rolling in front and back, left and right, and wept and said: "This life is over, and I can't go home to see my Lin'er again." He said to Qiu Ming: "Zecheng, what accident will happen to me today, please take care of Xun'er for the sake of marriage......
Wuling Taishou Cao Yin shouted: "Don't talk about this now, the situation is critical, let's hurry up and break through, if we can escape one by one." ”
Qiu Ming said: "Don't mess with your own position, there are a lot of chasing soldiers in the city, we are now the rear team of the whole army, if you run away indiscriminately, it will only break down the front team and cause a big rout." ”
Cao Yin said: "The fire is so big, our little people will be burned to ashes in a while." I don't care, if you don't withdraw, I'll flee first. ”
Qiu Ming's eyes glared: "Zhonglang ordered me to lead the rear team, who dares to disturb my army's heart?" Stop him for me. Wei Yan smiled, and the spear shot out, and the tip of the spear was on Cao Yin's neck. Cao Yin's face turned pale, but he finally didn't dare to escape first.
Qiu Ming thought for a while and said: "In the past few days, there have been light cavalry reconnaissance of Wancheng's movements, but I have never found any major movements in the yellow turbans, and there are not many things that want to come to the city to start fires. Moreover, the fire is so fierce that it will not last, so we will form a formation and let the soldiers dig up the earth to extinguish the fire. ”
Sure enough, the fire came and went as quickly as it came, and it did not cause any serious casualties to them in Tyumen. Sun Xia saw that the formation of the official army was not chaotic, and was about to use the strategy again, when he suddenly had to report that the two attack battalion teams were defeated and returned. Tyumen got this gap and slowly retreated to his own position, so the two sides withdrew their own troops.
As soon as he returned to the camp to count, Jiang Xia soldiers broke a lot of men and horses, and Qin Jie, Cao Yin, and Lu Jun were each burned, but the Yellow Turban cavalry was even more damaged, and there were many war horses left at the scene, and Sun Jian also subdued Cheng Puhan as the second general, which was even more unexpected.
Zhu Jun sighed and was arranging their own rest, Qiu Ming, who had already returned to the tent and was injured, hurriedly came to say: "Now that the morale of the Yellow Turban has been discharged, you can take the night to attack the city again, and take advantage of its unpreparedness to destroy Wancheng." ”
Zhu Jun was overjoyed, and then ordered the troops to fight again, ordering Sun Jian to attack the south gate, Liu Bei Qiuming to attack the north gate, and Zhu Jun to lead the troops to attack the west gate, leaving only the east gate and the thief to go, so as to succeed in one fell swoop.
However, it was said that Sun Xia extinguished the fire and closed the door to clean up the defeated soldiers, and he was busy for half a night, and he called the head of the Du family to reproach him: "The incident is not secret tonight, and it is all because you did not take care of Zhao Ci properly." Now that Zhu Jun has eaten this plan, how can he be willing to give up, if he attacks the city, your whole family's life will not be guaranteed. For today's plan, the only way to do this is to work together to protect Wancheng,"
Old man Du was trembling, so he had to agree to send thousands of servants, 100 mules and horses, and a number of swords and bows to help defend the city. Sun Xia was overjoyed and patted his back and said: "When I win the world, you will be from the dragon's work, I heard that the monarch and daughter are very beautiful, and I should be the queen of him one day." Old man Du only shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Sun Xia immediately arranged for the servants of the Du family to go to the city to defend, replace the Yellow Turban defenders who had worked all night, and prepare to fight to the death with the official army the next day. Everything was arranged, Sun Xia had time to visit the injured Sun Zhong, and asked about the attack on the camp, Sun Zhong scolded Sun Jian for joining the enemy, Sun Xia comforted him for a while, and went to sleep with a lot of heart
Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Sun Jian led the army to the south gate of Wancheng and discussed with Cheng Pu Handang: "You two have been in the city for a long time, do you have a way to break the door?" ”
Cheng Pu thought for a while and said: "Yesterday, in order to facilitate the cavalry to go out of the city, the big stones blocking the north and south gates were removed, and I don't know if they are added back now." ”
Han Dang said excitedly: "There is a section of flat terrain under the outer wall of the south gate, and the moat is not deep, so it is just right to take a cloud ladder to attack the city. ”
Sun Jian immediately decided: "Good, we now have the handle in Qiuming's hands, although he doesn't know why he didn't report it, but we still have to be careful and make more achievements in order to prevent changes." In this battle, we must move forward with all our strength and make meritorious contributions to the city. The generals agreed.
The soldiers were fast, the first light had just appeared on the edge of the sky, and the ladder of the Danyang soldiers had already leaned against the city wall, Sun Jian took the ancient ingot knife in his mouth, and was the first to climb the steps. It just so happened that this section of the city wall was newly replaced by the Du family, and more than 20 people were killed by Sun Jian in a hurry, and the rest immediately fled, and no one dared to step forward to confront Sun Jian.
By the time Zhao Hong received the alarm and rushed to the southern city, more than half of the Danyang soldiers had already boarded the city wall and were looking for a way down the city to open the city gate. Zhao Hong was furious, and the flying horse suddenly took Sun Jian, but Sun Jian flew over the city to seize the lance, and stabbed Hong off the horse with a lance, but rode the horse back and forth to kill the thief. After a while, the Danyang soldiers opened the city gate, and Cheng Puhan and Zumao Sun Ce entered the city together, and the Yellow Turban was defeated.
But it was said that Sun Xia and Sun Zhong heard that there was a change in the south gate, and was about to bring troops to rescue, but when he encountered a defeated soldier who fled on the way, Sun Zhong sighed: "This city is no longer defensible, I will wait to kill the city first and then make reason." Sun Xia said: "The south gate has been broken, the west gate is facing the official army camp, although the east gate is far away, but it is very easy to be ambushed by the enemy, we might as well break through from the north gate." Sun Zhong thought so, so he led the remnants of the army straight to the north gate.
Qiu Ming and Liu Bei led the army to the north gate, and were discussing, when they suddenly heard the sound of killing in the south, Liu Bei exclaimed: "Sun Wentai has begun to attack the city, what should we do?" Qiu Ming said: "Don't worry, the Danyang soldiers have always been elite, and it is normal for the army to carry a ladder or something, no matter how urgent we are, we still have to arrange for the small army to immediately make ladders and other things." ”
Zhang Fei said in a sullen voice: "I'm afraid that I will be late in the city, and the credit will be robbed by Sun Jian." ”
Qiu Ming said with a smile: "I have heard that Yide is majestic for a long time, it is better to call twice in front of the city gate, if you can call the city gate open, it should be the first credit." ”
Liu Bei frowned and said, "My third brother is rude, then Cheng Xiu wants to tease him." Zhang Fei jumped and said: "Just call it, I'm afraid you won't make it?" Immediately the prancing horse came under the drawbridge with his spear raised, and he called for the gate to be opened.
Before he could speak, he saw the city gate open and the drawbridge down, and Qiu Ming was shocked: "Could it be that this sunspot has really practiced the lion's roar skill?" Or silent? ”
was taken aback, and suddenly heard Zhang Fei roar: "Sun Zhong dog thief, seeing that your third master has not dismounted and surrendered, where do you want to flee?" ”
When Sun Zhong saw Zhang Fei, he secretly complained in his heart, but the situation was critical at this time, and he was bound to not be able to retreat back to the city. When he was in distress, Sun Xia shouted: "Today we will flee for our lives first, and we will meet again in Xi'e Jingshan", after speaking, he took off his Confucian robe and blended into the yellow scarf group, and soon disappeared.
When Sun Zhong saw that he left first, he had no intention of fighting, so he only fled to the empty place, but was shot off the horse by Liu Bei with an arrow, and the horsemen behind him couldn't stop it, trampling Sun Zhong into a ball of flesh.
Liu Bei was overjoyed when he saw that Sun Zhong was dead, and he had no intention of chasing and suppressing the remnants of the enemy, so he gathered his troops and slowly entered the city.
