Chapter 700: Repeating the Old Trick
Leng Bao led the Yizhou army in Langzhong, and hurried over the mountain road, and the more he advanced the army, he found that there were more and more things discarded on the ground.
A general picked up a bone and found that it was covered with tooth marks, but there was no trace of flesh.
Seeing this, Leng Bud said: "In this way, the thief army is really extremely short of food, and even such a hard bone will not be spared. ”
After driving for another distance, a scout leader suddenly came to report: "General Qiyu, I waited to count the stoves left by the Chinese army, and found that the number of these stoves is not enough for a thousand soldiers and horses to cook." ”
"It can be seen that there are either a large number of deserters in the Guanzhong army, or there is indeed no food to boil."
As a scout, he can judge the enemy's movements through clues, so he is an excellent scout, and this person can be appointed as the leader of the scout by Leng Bao, which is obviously not an ordinary person.
Leng Bao was even happier when she heard this, and continued to urge the soldiers and horses to march forward.
The army drove forward for five miles, and another scout came to report: "General, many cauldrons discarded by the Guanzhong army were found on the road. ”
Leng Bao secretly thought: "The Guanzhong Army must have run out of grain and grass, so they threw away the cauldron used for cooking rice to reduce the load." ”
Thinking of this, he suddenly said to the generals with some sighs: "The Guanzhong army was starved to this extent, and it didn't rob the local people, it seems that the rumors that the Guanzhong army treats civilians favorably are true." ”
Leng Bao asked himself, if he fell to such a point, it would definitely not be like Xu Huang, who would rather the soldiers be disheartened and flee in all directions, rather than plundering the people.
"No matter what, Xu Gongming is a respectable opponent, I will let him die like a hero!"
Leng Bud stared into the distance, with a complicated look in his eyes.
The Yizhou army continued to drive forward, turned a mountain road, and suddenly saw a group of Guan sergeants with rags and disheveled clothes, lying on the ground without the slightest defense.
Leng Bao was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly let people blow the horn of war, and led the troops forward to cover and kill.
Those Guan sergeants, who were lying on the ground half-dead, suddenly saw the Yizhou army rushing towards them, and immediately panicked and dispersed.
When Leng Bao led the troops to rush over, the Guanzhong army had already escaped.
He looked at the scene in front of him in amazement, and said with some admiration: "Even if Guan Zhongjun is hungry like this, he still escapes so quickly, and he really deserves to be the elite of the world." ”
Listening to Leng Bao's slightly ridiculous words, the generals of Yizhou couldn't help laughing.
"Chase, you must capture Xu Huang alive!"
Leng Bud was obviously in a good mood, and after making a joke, he chased forward.
The escaped sergeant Guan was still running fast at first, but as time passed, they all became a little weak, and they were getting closer and closer to the Yizhou pursuers behind them.
The Yizhou army brandished their weapons with hideous faces, and they all chased forward bravely, wanting to gain battle merits.
Seeing that he had caught up with Sergeant Guan, he suddenly heard a cannon sound, and saw flags full of banners erected in the mountains and forests on both sides, and Sergeant Guan was densely packed and killed from the mountain.
"Capture the cold bud alive!"
"Capture the cold bud alive!"
After the cannon fired, the shouts of killing around were deafening.
Those Guanzhong troops who had fled forward also turned around and killed them one after another, fiercely pounced on the Yizhou army.
It was only at this time that the Yizhou army knew that he and the others had been ambushed, and Leng Bao's face changed greatly, and he shouted loudly: "Retreat, retreat, retreat quickly!" ”
"The thief will leave!"
A thunderous sound sounded, and I saw Xu Huang with hundreds of soldiers and horses, roaring directly towards Leng Bao.
Due to the narrow road, Leng Bud had no way to turn the horse's head and run away, so he could only watch Xu Huang rush towards him.
"Protect the general, protect the general!"
Leng Bao's personal soldiers looked at the brave Xu Huang, and they were all shocked, shouting and surrounding Leng Bao.
"Death to those who stand in my way!"
Regarding the death of Jiang Wu and the defeat of the Guanzhong army, Xu Huang's heart was full of anger.
At this time, he killed people mercilessly, but whenever anyone stood in front of him, they were split in half by Xu Huang.
After Xu Huang, the Guanzhong army saw that the main general was so brave and morale was even better, and killing the Yizhou army was completely like watching watermelons and chopping vegetables.
On the other hand, the Yizhou army, after the ambush, immediately chaotic, you pushed me to flee to the back, and the formation became chaotic.
Leng Bao wanted to escape on horseback several times, but was blocked by the chaotic Yizhou army, and there was no way to escape in a hurry.
"General, dismount quickly, I'll carry you away!"
The commander of the pro-soldiers looked at Xu Huang, who was getting closer and closer, and saw that Leng Bao was riding a war horse but it was difficult to escape, and immediately shouted loudly.
Leng Bao also knew that the matter was urgent, and without the slightest hesitation, he quickly turned over and dismounted, and fled forward with the commander of his own soldiers.
How could Xu Huang watch Leng Bud escape?
He was furious, and the big axe in his hand flew up and down, setting off a bloody storm.
The Yizhou army was killed in a chill, and many people couldn't help but squeeze to the side as soon as they saw Xu Huang, and on the crowded path, they miraculously gave way to a small road.
Xu Huang was overjoyed when he saw this, and no longer paid attention to the Yizhou army hiding on both sides, and chased Leng Bao on horseback, while shouting: "Those who descend will not be killed!" Those who descend will not be killed! ”
The Guanzhong army also shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed!" ”
Many Yizhou troops, who were terrified in their hearts, immediately dropped their weapons and surrendered on their knees.
However, he said that the injury on Leng Bao's thigh had not yet healed, and when he fled for his life, he could only let the commander of the pro-soldiers carry him, and his speed could not be fast at all.
Xu Huang chased forward, and it didn't take long for him to get close to Leng Bao.
Seeing this, Leng Bud said to the commander of the pro-soldiers: "Quickly let me down, you flee back to the city alone, and you must burn all the grain and grass in the city!" ”
The commander of the pro-soldiers shook his head stubbornly and said, "I am the general's own soldiers, how can I leave the general and escape alone?" ”
Leng Bao saw that Xu Huang was getting closer and closer, and he was in a hurry, and shouted: "None of us can escape if we go on like this, today's defeat and the loss of Langzhong are a foregone conclusion, I am ashamed of the lord and General Zhang Ren." ”
"However, the grain and grass in Langzhong City are piled up, and the Guanzhong army must not be allowed to retake it. When you return to the city, you will burn all the grain and grass in the city, and then you will fight or flee. ”
"Do you see what I mean?"
The person who can serve as the commander of Leng Bao's personal army will naturally not be stupid.
Feeling the expectation in his own coach's heart, the commander of the personal army immediately put Leng Bud down ruthlessly, saluted him, and then turned away with tears in his eyes.
Xu Huang swept like a gust of wind.
He looked at Leng Bud, who was standing tall with a weapon in his hand, but suddenly reined in the war horse.
"Stomp, stomp!"
The dense footsteps remembered, and the sergeant Guan who followed closely behind Xu Huang scattered to surround Leng Bao.
Xu Huang pointed at Leng Bud with a big axe and shouted: "Today, you can't escape, are you willing to surrender?" ”
Leng Bao looked up to the sky and laughed, and then shouted: "If the husband dies, he will die, how can he turn his back on the master and surrender to the thief army?" ”
Thinking of Jiang Wu's death and thinking of those Guan sergeants who died in battle, Xu Huang's eyes flashed with a fierce color, and he shouted: "Since this is the case, borrow your head and use it!" ”
"Drive!"
The war horse suddenly jumped up, and Xu Huang killed Leng Bud with the momentum of Wan Jun.
Leng Bud struggled to attack, but the spear in his hand was cut in half, and then blood stained the earth.
Xu Huang returned his hand with an axe again, a huge head rose to the sky, and Leng Bao still stared at him even if he died in battle, and there was no fear on his face.
"The general is mighty!"
"The general is mighty!"
"The general is mighty!"
The nearby sergeant Guan couldn't help cheering when he saw his boss kill the enemy general with one move, and his voice echoed endlessly in the mountains and forests.
Xu Huang, who killed Leng Bao, suddenly calmed down.
From an objective point of view, Leng Bao can be regarded as a respectable person, with an unyielding temperament.
But on the other side, Xu Huang had a reason to kill Leng Bao.
If you don't kill Leng Bao, there is no way to explain to the dead Jiang Wu, there is no way to explain to Chen Xu and Zhao Yun, and there is no way to explain to the Guan sergeant who died in battle.
Therefore, Leng Bao, who participated in the killing of Jiangwu and the battle of breaking through the Guanzhong Army, must die!
Sighing slightly, Xu Huang stepped forward and grabbed Leng Bao's head and lifted it up, and the blood dripped on the ground drop by drop, staining the withered yellow leaves.
The shouts of killing became smaller and smaller, and the Yizhou army, which originally wanted to escape, saw that the commander was killed, and they were even more panicked in their hearts, and they knelt down and surrendered.
Yan Pu commanded Sergeant Guan to escort the prisoners and clean up the battlefield, but Xu Huang set his eyes in the direction of Langzhong City in the distance.
However, it was said that Leng Bao's personal soldiers led all the way to the city, and on the way, nearly 2,000 defeated soldiers were gathered, and they gradually came to the city of Langzhong.
"Open the gates, open the gates!"
The guards in the city looked at the Yizhou soldiers who were defeated and full of panic below, and their faces immediately changed greatly, and they asked, "What happened?" ”
During this time, the two sides opened the city gate one after another and seized the city, which has made the Langzhong defenders full of vigilance.
Therefore, even if they saw that the people below were wearing the armor of the Yizhou army, the guards in the city were still cautious and did not dare to open the city gate easily.
The commander of Leng Bao's own soldiers shouted impatiently: "Xu Huang's lack of food is fake, and it is true to earn us to go out of the city, now General Leng Bao doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, he only escaped back These soldiers, you quickly open the city gate and let us in!" ”
The face of the city guard changed again, and he asked, "Who are you, and how can you confirm your identity!" ”
The commander touched the blood on his face, pulled his hair back, and asked, "Does the general recognize me now?" ”
As the commander of Leng Bao's personal soldiers, he has always been inseparable from Leng Bao, and most of the generals in the city know him.
The city guards saw his face clearly, and they were still a little uneasy in their hearts, and successively let people identify several Yizhou generals, and then ordered the city gate to be opened.
At this time, there was already a lot of dust in the distance, and Xu Huang came with Sergeant Guan and rushed to kill him.
The banner was unfurled, and on the flagpole at the front, there was Leng Bao's bloody human head. The blood that flowed from the top of the human head stained the flagpole red.
Coming to the bottom of the city wall, Xu Huang shouted loudly: "You wait for the lord to wait for Leng Bao has been ambushed, if you don't open the city and surrender, when the city is broken, the chickens and dogs will not be left!" ”
"On the day the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs!"
Xu Huang's own soldiers took the lead in chanting, and a solemn atmosphere spread throughout half of the city.
"On the day the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs!"
All the Guanzhong troops waved their weapons and shouted loudly, and the sound resounded through the heavens and the earth.
The city guard suddenly heard the shouts of the city, and almost frightened the city to surrender, he is not a man of integrity, and he is also afraid of death.
In the case of knowing that he can't hold the city, surrendering to save his life can be regarded as a way out.
But after the fear, the defenders in the city thought again: "The military law of the Guanzhong army is strict, even if the city is breached, it will not kill innocents." It has not been said in the past that there were no chickens and dogs left on the day the city was broken, but in the end, they did not kill people and prisoners indiscriminately. ”
"If I really can't resist, it's not too late for me to surrender. In this way, not only will you leave some good name, but you will also save your life, so why not? ”
Thinking of this, the guards in the city immediately held their heads high and shouted with a righteous face: "I swear to live and die with Lang, the thieves will want to seize the city, just come to attack it, and Hugh will fight under the city!" ”
Leng Bao's personal commander heard the impassioned words of the defender in the city, and immediately treated him with admiration, and said: "The general has a noble temperament and is not afraid of strong enemies, and he is really a model for my generation." ”
was praised by others, and the city guards were immediately a little fluttering, and then straightened their chests, and looked at Xu Huang under the city with some provocation.
Seeing this, Xu Huang thought that this person was really high-spirited, and sighed: "There are so many heroes in the land of Bashu, I am afraid that it will be extremely difficult for the lord to seize the land of Yizhou in the future." ”
Leng Bao's personal commander remembered the words of the commander, thinking about going to burn the grain and grass, so he said to the Langzhong guard: "Before I came back, the general repeatedly told me that after returning to the city, I must burn all the grain and grass first. ”
"In this way, even if our army has no way to hold Langzhong, the thief army will not want to seize grain and grass. The general first defended the city here, and I personally led a team of men and horses to burn the grain and grass. ”
The Langzhong guard was shocked when he heard this, and shouted: "The grain and grass are burned, what are I waiting to eat!" ”
The commander of the pro-soldiers said: "The general is high-spirited and bright, not afraid of life and death, even if he dies on the battlefield, what does it matter?" ”
Lang Zhongshou said this, his face turned pale, and when he felt that he had lifted a stone and hit himself in the foot, the commander of the pro-army had already taken the soldiers and horses and walked in the direction of hoarding grain and grass in the city.
"Poof!"
However, as soon as the commander of his own army stepped down the wall, a sharp blade passed through his body, killing him.
The man drew his sword and shouted, "Take the gates!" ”
With his shout, I saw more than 300 people suddenly turn against the water, directly brandishing weapons to kill the city gate, and quickly open the city gate.
Xu Huang saw the city gate wide open, immediately waved the weapon in his hand, and rushed to the city first.
"Kill!"
The sound of shouting and killing rose again, and the city gate of Langzhong, which was wide open, was occupied by the Guanzhong army without any suspense.
The reason why the city was so easily broken was that Xu Huang repeated his old tricks, and on the way to escape from the Yizhou army, he asked Sergeant Guan to change his clothes and armor and mix among them, and follow them into the city.
(Let's talk about future updates, it's the Chinese New Year, and I need to prepare too.) There is definitely no way to code words when I go back to my hometown for the New Year, so I can only save the manuscript now. I don't want to be a 2,000 party anymore, so from today until the end of the New Year, I will change the 4,000-word chapter every day, and I will break out on the first day of the new year. )
