Chapter 25 Stationed in Xingyang
Tai Shici didn't react after charging the wrong horse, and then turned his head Hua Xiong had already abandoned his soldiers and horses to flee, which made him stunned for a moment, and hurriedly slapped his horse to chase after him, and at the same time ordered Wuhuan to ride and strangle the Liangzhou soldiers under the city.

How fast is the speed of the war horse, but when Tai Shi Ci was stunned, Hua Xiong had already run dozens of steps, and if he wanted to catch up, even if he opened his bow to shoot, he might not be able to hit accurately in the dark night, and immediately drove the lance towards those Liangzhou soldiers who had no six gods and no masters...... The Liangzhou soldiers who fought fiercely all night had no intention of fighting in the face of the main general's rout, not to mention that they were shocked by Tai Shici's bravery, and they put down their weapons and surrendered.
However, in a moment, more than thirty captives knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and Tai Shici was not interested in killing more, so he ordered Wuhuan to take away their weapons and take care of them.
After a fight, the Wuhuan cavalry on his side also suffered heavy casualties, and more than a dozen Wuhuan soldiers were chopped off their horses in the fight with Hua Xiong, and now there are only 100 riders left to swim with bows.
By now, the battle in the field has come to an end, and the sound of fighting in the distance is much quieter, but Tai Shici doesn't know how many people in their robes are still destined to see the red sun rising tomorrow morning.
Seeing that the crisis under the city was resolved, Tai Shici raised his lance and shouted to the city: "Listen to the people above, I am under the command of General Du Liaoyan, are you the Han soldiers of the imperial court or Dong Zhongying's Xiliang soldiers!" ”
Is there a difference between the people of the court and Dong Zhuo's people?
"We are the Han army of the imperial court!"
"Since it is the Han army, when my general leads the army here, you don't have to resist stubbornly, and open the city to welcome the general." Tai Shi Ci saw that the county soldiers in the city were not all inclined to Dong Zhuo, so his tone was a little gentler, and he said loudly: "The general will not harm you and others." ”
As soon as Tai Shici's voice fell, the county commander was about to nod, but he saw several Liangzhou soldiers flashing up with knives next to him, first shouting at the county order, and then the first person pointed at Tai Shici and shouted: "Don't open the city!" You are all rebels, and tomorrow there will be soldiers and horses from the court to quell the rebellion, see how long you can be majestic! ”
Tai Shi Ci was stunned, there were still Dong Zhuo's men and horses in the city? However, depending on the situation, the number of people is not large, but it is very tricky to hold the county order hostage. He did not argue with the Liangzhou soldiers in the city, and immediately beat his horse and left, beckoning Hu Cai to cross the battlefield to find the whereabouts of Sun Qing and Su Fuyan.
The Liangzhou soldiers in the city are Song Chao, a native of Liangzhou under Hua Xiong, who followed his command to fight in the south and north as early as when Dong Zhuo was the captain of the Western Regions. In this battle, his tun was left in the city to take care of the horses, but he didn't expect Huaxiong to be defeated, and now he is the only one left in the city.
Tai Shici didn't care about him, and it didn't matter if the Liangzhou soldiers opened the city or not at the moment. He had a hundred and ten horsemen in his hand, and even if he opened the city, he couldn't even suppress the county soldiers in the city...... Wait until tomorrow, General Yan will come with a large army, and when he can't open the city, he won't forget it.
The top priority was to find Sun Qing and Su Fuyan, and then send someone to send a message to Yanbei, who was camped more than ten miles away, so that the army could enter the city before Xu Rong came.
At this moment, the brigade north of Xingyang marched with fire, swept through Xingyang City and rushed westward, seeing that the fire was an army of nearly 10,000 people.
On the other side, when Tai Shici shouted under the city, Zhao Yun had already led two thousand headquarters to the place where they were camping, and only the corpses of Wuhuan and Qianghu people were scattered all over the ground with torches, and the battle was extremely tragic.
Immediately after, the scattered soldiers and horses found the lone Wuhuan soldiers, and only then did they know that a melee had broken out in the east of Xingyang City that lasted for nearly an hour, and Zhao Yun spread out the soldiers and horses to search for the enemy's scattered robes and his own, and ran towards Xingyang City.
Not long after, Tai Shi Ci's scattered troops found Sun Qing, and Zhao Yun found Su Fuyan, gathered each other's soldiers and horses in the east of Xingyang City, and sent a scout horse to meet Yanbei and send a message to inform the situation on the side of Lu Yi, who was guarding the main road.
As long as Xu Rong's soldiers and horses can't react, Xingyang City will be able to plant the Yanzi flag.
Xu Rong couldn't reflect it, his soldiers and horses were still twenty-five miles away from Xingyang, and when Huaxiong ran back, it would be too late.
The soldiers and horses in the distance under the city gathered more and more, and first the Kwantung soldiers in the north of the city raised fire and marched towards the west of the city, although they didn't care about the city, Song Chao in the city knew that it was the soldiers and horses of the Kwantung coalition army, and it was even very likely that it was the subordinate of the Duliao general Yanbei.
No matter what they wanted to do when they swept through the city, Song Chao's heart couldn't help but sink more and more.
I'm afraid this Xingyang City can't be saved.
Yanbei was late when it was getting dark, and if it weren't for the cavalry sent by Zhao Yun telling him that there were only a few hundred county soldiers in Xingyang City, he would have come even more slowly. His headquarters is the most elite soldiers and horses, and the armor and armor are also the most complete, and the march is ...... Naturally more tired too.
Yan Bei heard Tai Shici say that there were still Liangzhou soldiers in the city, which made him feel very surprised, and he waved his whip and laughed that he wanted to meet the Liangzhou soldiers in the city who dared to hold the county order hostage and defend the city, and said with a smile: "Very bold!" ”
This is a joke for him, there are only hundreds of Liangzhou soldiers in the city at best, why dare to block his way into the city?
Surrounded by Tai Shi Ci Zhao Yun and others, Yanbei rode his horse to the city, squinting his eyes and looking at the city, no more than a hundred steps apart, with the light of the sky and torches, he could see the figure of the Liangzhou soldiers holding the county order hostage in the city, he asked the city: "That is, I saw Yan's army, why not descend early?" ”
"Are you Yanbei?" Song Chao in the city called Yanbei by his name, and shouted to Yanbei with a sneer: "General Du Liaoyan, you are deeply favored by Dong Gong's promotion, and I am not as high as you, so why rebel?" ”
Yan Bei's eyes narrowed even tighter, staring at Song Chao in the city.
"Yan's official position is subject to His Majesty, how can Dong Gong say that he is kind?" Yan Bei laughed softly, and then said to the city: "Dong Gong has gone against the grain, deposed the emperor with military might, and occupied the court, and our righteous army will crusade against Dong Gong and return to power, so that the world will be peaceful." If you understand things, don't say much about the opening of the city and the surrender; If you are unwilling to surrender, I respect your courage, and Yan will never send troops to chase and kill you when you escape from the West Gate. ”
The Liangzhou soldiers in the city were in a commotion with each other, but Song Chao was unmoved, and after drinking his subordinates, he held the battlements and shouted: "Now there are no eunuchs, and there are no relatives, Dong Gong Sha Tai court officials appointed stagnate people, and changed the court for decades to accumulate evils in the court, Dong Gong is wrong, you rebellious ministers and thieves want to crusade against the court!" ”
The words of the Liangzhou soldiers in the city are reasonable, Yanbei knows that he can't refute them.
Did Dong Zhuo do something wrong? In fact, Yanbei didn't think Dong Zhuo had done anything wrong. hunt down and kill some disobedient or even right people, and release soldiers and horses to disturb the people...... Is only Dong Zhuo going to do these things? Kanto is also a bird-like.
Yan Bei nodded slowly, and asked him in a calm tone: "What is your name as that Liangzhou soldier in the city?" ”
"A certain Song Chao, a general under the command of Captain Hua."
Yan Bei nodded slowly again, turned his head and said softly: "Ziyi, shoot him." ”
"Huh?" Where could Tai Shi Ci think that Yan Bei would actually kill this person, not only him, but Gao Ran Zhao Yun was repeatedly chewing on what this Liangzhou soldier said, but at this time, Yan Bei's order was so abrupt, Tai Shi Ci couldn't help asking: "General, general?" ”
Yan Bei turned his head expressionlessly and glanced at Tai Shici, did not continue to ask, but shouted to the city in his loudest voice: "Listen to the county soldiers in the city, I am Yan Bei, the general of Duliao, who came to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and now ordered you to kill the Liangzhou soldiers in the city and surrender the city!" Otherwise, after half an hour, the city will be stormed, and the chickens and dogs will not be left! ”
After finishing speaking, Yan Bei ignored the shouts of the city head and the eyes of the generals behind him, and walked towards his army formation with an expressionless face.
Yanbei's cold-blooded ruthlessness is terrifying.
Sitting in the midst of the heavy military formation, Yan Bei looked at the three generals under his command and sighed, his expression finally had a little warmth, and asked, "Do you think this person should not be killed." ”
He asked, but what he said was very affirmative.
"I don't think I should be killed, he's a loyal man. But is this battle still fought? Yan Bei asked the three of them, his heart was not comfortable, and even his unprovoked irritability made him want to kick over the case and scatter the book, "If we don't enter Xingyang City, we will have to fight with Xu Rong's brigade in three hours at most...... If he doesn't die, we will die a lot of people. ”
Tai Shici sighed, arched his hand and whispered: "The subordinates know their mistakes. ”
"You're right, no one is wrong, even Dong Zhuo in Luoyang is not wrong." Yan Bei shook his head, looked at the three generals standing in front of him, and suddenly laughed, "Ah Xiu, Ziyi, Zilong, the hearts of the three of you, in Yan's opinion, are like those heroes and heroes in ancient times, with you always being vigilant by your side, Yan can see what kind of person he is!" ”
The chaotic situation in the world makes it difficult to distinguish what is right and what is wrong. It may even be that things in the world are not simply right and wrong. Some things seem right in this way, but they are clearly wrong when viewed in reverse.
"Dong Zhuo and the Kwantung princes are not good people, and they are more evil...... Take the lighter of the two. ”
Yanbei seemed to be comforting the three people in front of him, and he seemed to be comforting himself.
Defeat Dong Zhuo, the world should be able to be cleared, right? Yan Bei asked himself, but at this time, the faces of the Kwantung princes flashed in his mind, but he felt that the answer to the question seemed to be not as optimistic as he imagined.
Xingyang City is not as peaceful as in Yanbei's camp, with Yanbei's sentence that if the Liangzhou army in the city is not killed within half an hour, Yanbei's subordinates will storm the city and the chickens and dogs will not be left, and the city will sound the sound of fighting and killing the moment he just left after he beat his horse.
Several Liangzhou soldiers at the head of the city were killed by the ruthless county soldiers in the blink of an eye, and then groups of Xingyang soldiers rushed to the stables and markets, killing all the Liangzhou soldiers led by Song Chao.
However, in a moment, the east gate of Xingyang City was opened, and the county order knelt on the ground to offer Song Chao's head.
When passing by Song Chao's corpse, Yanbei lowered his head and glanced at it, and said to his subordinates: "Bury him thickly, and the corpses of those Liangzhou people, gather them all...... They are all Han Chinese. ”
