Chapter 42: Don't Heroes Ask About Their Origins?
"Stepping on Cao Ying - take my life!"
"Stepping on Cao Ying - take my life!"
……………………
In the earth-shattering shout, Liu Beijun began to attack, first the archers came out of the battle, with the method of throwing in the air, shooting frantically behind the fence, and then the soldiers rushed up, like deer antlers, pulled out wooden thorns, and filled the trench with dirt, gravel, and straw!
After crossing the three trenches, hundreds of shirtless men poured out, twenty of them in groups, carrying logs three or four feet thick, and slammed into the fence violently, making a loud rumbling noise!
According to reason, in the face of Liu Beijun's attack, Cao Jun should have fought back frantically, but the reality is that there is no figure behind the wooden fence, and no arrow is shot, which makes Liu Beijun progress smoothly and makes the soldiers uneasy!
As the saying goes: If you don't say it sincerely, there must be ghosts, and if something goes wrong, it will be a demon, and the defense line set up by 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang', how can no one stick to it, the reason why there is no resistance, I am afraid is to lure them deeper, and then annihilate them with poison?
Behind the long wooden fence, what exactly is hidden, the trap pit, the fire bull array, and the thistle...... Or are they well-armed and ready iron cavalry?
Thinking of the possible ambushes behind the wooden fence, the attacking soldiers were timid, some jumped up and down, refusing to take a step forward, and some bowed their heads and turned around and fled......
"Those who advance live, those who retreat die--kill!"
"Boom! --Boom! Boom! ”
………………
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were furious, swung their swords and slashed the retreating soldiers, and cut off dozens of heads in a row, finally controlling the team!
In order to re-boost morale, Liu Bei turned over and dismounted, threw away the cloak on his body, and personally beat the drums to cheer, Xu Shu, Sun Qian, and Jian Yong also led people to shout and cheer, urging the soldiers to continue the attack!
After some twists and turns, Liu Beijun continued to attack, because the people's hearts were unstable, the formation was panicked, the soldiers crowded each other, some fell into the trenches, some were trampled under their feet, and after paying hundreds of casualties, they finally 'broke through' a line of defense!
Then they were surprised to find that the back of the wooden fence was empty, there was no ambush, only some empty tents and scarecrows, Xiao Yi and hundreds of personal soldiers had already retreated to the second line of defense!
"Search around, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find the traces of Cao Jun, and you will be angry with the three generals of your family!"
"Third General Qiyu, there is something here, it should be left by Cao Jun!"
Zhang Fei led the people to rush the fastest, I wanted to have a bloody battle, but I didn't expect to be teased again, and I was depressed as I can imagine, so I searched around frantically, and I really found something!
A three-foot-wide and five-foot-long white plank, inserted at the back of the defensive line, wrapped in green bark on the back, apparently freshly made, with an ink pen drawing on the front of a figure:
A man with big ears squatted on the ground selling straw sandals, a strong man with a long beard with a few bags of beans in front of him, and a stunned guy with a sharp knife in one hand and a pig's head in the other......
The three of them stood in the middle of the city, making a loud shouting and soliciting guests, and in front of them was a clay pot full of five-baht copper coins, which seemed to be prosperous!
Although I didn't write any words, I clearly told everyone that Liu, Guan, and Zhang were the old brothers: one sells straw shoes, one sells mung beans, and one sells pork!
"Damn ghost-faced Xiao Lang, dare to insult my brother like this--whoa!"
After seeing the painting, Zhang Fei jumped like thunder, waved the snake spear in his hand, smashed the white plank, and stepped on it a few times!
It is said that heroes don't care about their origins, but how many people can see through the clouds and don't care about their origins?
I don't see the emperors and generals of the past dynasties, and the first thing after becoming famous is not to marry a wife and concubine, nor to delicacies from the mountains and seas, but to whitewash yourself and get a noble background!
After Goujian, the king of Yue, defeated Wu and sat on the throne of the overlord, he thought that he was born in the Southern Barbarians and was not enough to deter the countries of the Central Plains, so he revised his family tree, made up stories, and insisted that he was a descendant of Dayu!
Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was even more powerful, his ancestors were poor for eight generations, and he couldn't find a celebrity, so he made up a mythical story, saying that he was the product of a one-night stand between a man and a dragon......
"Gaozu Benji": "When Liu Yuan tasted Daze, the dream and the god met, when the thunder and lightning were obscure, the prince looked at it, and saw the dragon on it. has a body, and then gave birth to a high ancestor! ”
Among the princes from all walks of life, Liu Biao and Liu Zhang are relatives of the Han family, and there is a certificate of genealogy of the clan, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao IV, three dukes, protégés and former officials all over the world, and the rest such as Sun Quan, Ma Teng, Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Du are also famous families, generations of princes!
Cao Cao, who was born poorly, is also the son of an official eunuch, his father Cao Song was a lieutenant, one of the three princes of the Han family, and his grandfather Cao Teng was a regular servant, a great Changqiu, and a marquis of Feiting!
The three brothers in Taoyuan, one sells mung beans and the other sells pork, all of them are small traders from the poor family, Liu Bei is known as the clan of the Han family, but there is no reliable evidence, what people know is: Liu Bei's family is poor, weaving mats and selling shoes for a living, and his father Liu Hong is not a scholar!
It is precisely because of his poor background that Liu Bei regards himself as an imperial uncle all day long, desperately advocating his bloodline, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also hate the scholars, and hate others to talk about things with their background, Xiao Yi's painting is poking at their weaknesses!
"The soldiers will follow me to pursue, and they must set foot on the Cao camp - kill it!"
Being teased twice in a row, Zhang Fei lost his mind a little, and without waiting for the order of his eldest brother and military advisor, he led thousands of people in his headquarters to chase and kill with shouts!
Wei Yan and Huo Jun saw the situation, and each led a team of men and horses to follow, they had just defected not long ago, and they were eager to establish their prestige and improve their status, so they were naturally eager to fight!
At the same time, Liu Bei and Xu Shu also climbed over the wooden fence with the team, although Xiao Yi was deceived again, but they finally won a line of defense, and they were one step closer to Jiangling!
While reorganizing the ranks and recovering the strength of the soldiers, they climbed to a high place and looked at the second line of defense of the Cao army, so that they could know it in their hearts, but they were taken aback:
I saw the Nagasaka slope - both sides are towering, the middle is low-lying, the grass and trees are luxuriant, the leaves are innumerable, and it is autumn in September, the earth is a golden color, there are dry branches and leaves everywhere, and there is a northwest wind today......
"Send someone to tell the three generals - quickly withdraw the troops and be careful of fire attacks!"
"No!"
With such a terrain and environment, even a military idiot like Liu Bei could see that it was a Jedi of fire attack, so he hurriedly sent rangers and ordered Zhang Fei and others to retreat, but unfortunately it was too late!
"It's on fire! --It's on fire! --Everyone, hurry up and run for your life! ”
……………………
On the high slopes on both sides of the Nagasaka Slope, countless torches were suddenly thrown, igniting the dry grass and trees, fallen leaves, and with the help of the northwest wind, it quickly formed a prairie fire, and for a time thick smoke billowed and flames soared into the sky, and countless fire snakes flew around......
The pursuing soldiers were unlucky, and instantly fell into the sea of fire, with nowhere to hide or escape, and many people were swept by the flames, rolling on the ground, and the ghosts cried wolves, and the state was unbearable!
"The whole army quickly retreated, looked for sparse places to hide, prepared water and medicine, and rescued the soldiers who escaped!"
In the face of the raging flames, Xu Shu had no choice but to do his best to obey the fate of heaven, Liu Bei scratched his ears and cheeks, worried about several chasing generals, especially his third brother!
"Big brother...... Lord...... Whining! ”
Fortunately, Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, and Huo Jun ran back, and they pursued halfway through, and when they saw the lush vegetation in Changban Slope, they had a premonition that something was not good, and they hurriedly turned their horses' heads and retreated, and finally escaped from the flame pursuit!
The three of them escaped, but their image was miserable, Zhang Fei's hair and beard were all burnt, just like a freshly burned pig's head, Wei Yan and Huo Jun were also scorched, and a lot of blisters were burned, but fortunately, the three of them were only slightly burned, and there was no danger to their lives!
Their men were miserable, tens of thousands of people rushed in, only 12 out of 10 escaped, and the rest were engulfed in flames, and the screams were heartbreaking, and the hearts and intestines of those who listened were broken!
The fire burned all night, and then slowly extinguished at dawn, and the lush vegetation of Nagasaka Slope turned completely charred black - the smoke curled and drifted in the wind!
Among the thick ashes, mixed with a large number of corpses, most of them were burned to charcoal, and the strong men who were originally seven or eight feet were less than three feet away from the barbecue, grinning and twisting their limbs, like hell on earth!
"Our army's attack has been frustrated, and the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, or should we go back to the camp for the time being to repair and attack again the next day?"
"Xiao Yi is scheming, there must be other ambushes, let's think long-term, we can't be reckless and send to death!"
…………………………
A fight, a fire attack, and a day and a night of running, the soldiers were not only demoralized, but also physically exhausted, so the generals suggested that the whole army should retreat and repair it, recuperate and attack again!
Liu Bei was also depressed, thinking that he could no longer attack, and before he officially fought with Cao Jun, the men and horses suffered heavy losses, and there were still a few lines of defense behind him, and how many traps were set, which was really terrifying!
