In the middle of March of the fourth year of the Han Dynasty, Henan Yin, Aocang City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The clouds in the sky are very thick, and the deep sky is like a layer of milky white cloud, and the dazzling sunlight penetrates the clouds and gives its powerful power to this bloody land without reservation.

The wind on the ground was fierce, and the brave warriors, inspired by the drums of war and guided by the battle flags, held high their sharp weapons, stepped on the bones and blood of their robes, and marched forward one after another, shouting fiercely, their passionate and fearless shouts soaring into the sky, shaking the heavens and the earth.

On the upper floor of Aocang City, the huge yellow "Yuan" character Daxu danced wildly in the wind, it was like a fierce beast trapped in a cage, with teeth and claws, roaring and roaring, and its tragic and low roar made the whole city tremble.

A thick smell of blood filled the sky above Aocang City, and with the earth-shattering sound of war drums, shouts, and the roar of arrows tearing through the air, Aocang City gradually fell into the abyss of death.

The defenders did not give up, and in the face of the Northern Frontier Army, which was several times their size, they still fought bloodily. The black walls beneath their feet resembled a wounded giant, a scarred giant howling and struggling, pouring down all his weapons, arrows, logs, rolling stones, knives, spears, and shields, trying to save his life.

The siege army was like a tide, setting off one storm after another, and the waves crashed into the city wall, stirring up blood flowers all over the sky, and the huge roar was deafening.

Ao Cangcheng crumbled, gritting its teeth and holding on, letting the blood flow all over its body.

The soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army besieged the city on all sides and attacked frantically.

Koji's lieutenant commanded his men and horses to attack the northern city, but after a day of fierce fighting, little success. The adjutant general was furious, and shouted at several captains and military commanders: "Attack the city overnight, give me the ...... to attack the city overnight"

Night fell silently, and piles of flames rose into the air, illuminating the city up and down.

Koji Yoshiki came to the battlefield in person.

After listening to the deployment of the adjutant general, he shook his hand and said: "There are only more than 1,000 defenders in Aocang City, if it weren't for the strong city and the help of the people in the city, it would be difficult for them to defend until now. It's right to keep fighting, but you can't fight like that. ”

"Our casualties are not large." The adjutant general thought that Lu Yi was going to order the army to withdraw, so he hurriedly persuaded, "General, the two generals Zhang Fei and Yu Yu will arrive tomorrow." As soon as the follow-up army arrives, Aocang City will be ready to go down, and we will fight in vain today's battle. Now the defenders of Aocang City have suffered heavy losses, and as long as we attack a little harder, we can definitely take the city tonight. ”

Koji Yi smiled, glanced at him, and said lightly: "I said that you can take Aocang City within two days, there is no need to be in such a hurry." When we arrive in Xingyang, we still have more difficult battles to fight. ”

"How can we give credit to others after a hard day's work?" The adjutant general's face sank, and he was quite dissatisfied, "You give me two more hours, and I will personally lead someone to kill him." ”

Koji Yi waved the horsewhip in his hand, shook his head, and said, "Okay, since you must fight, then let's fight." ”

"Order all the troops to quietly rush to the north city to assemble at night, attack with all their might, and be sure to take Aocang City in the early hours of the morning." Koji Yi turned his head to look at the lieutenant general, and said with a smile, "During the day, we attacked at the same time, which greatly consumed and paralyzed the enemy. In the evening, we changed the siege method, and let some troops make a feint attack in the eastern, southern, and western cities, while the main army of 6,000 took the opportunity to attack the north gate, and tried to surprise the enemy and go down with a drum. ”

"General, let my men attack first." The deputy general excitedly pointed to the big banner on the city tower and said, "Within an hour, watch me cut down that big flag." ”

………………

When Liyi was fighting and Aocang, Wang Wei led his army to cross the Yellow River and joined forces with Yu Ban under Chenggao City.

Chenggao City is only fifteen miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass. Tiger Prison Pass is the only pass in the east of Luoyang, the Tiger Prison is lost, Luoyang is not in danger to defend, so if the Tiger Prison Lieutenant does not have Luoyang's order, he will never dare to leave the Tiger Prison half a step, so Chenggao City can only count on Luoyang and Xingyang reinforcements.

"Koyi's army is attacking Aocang, and it is about to come to Xingyang. The defenders of Xingyang were unable to protect themselves and could not come to support. Wang Wei pointed to the mountains in the west and said with a slight smile, "Luoyang is more than two hundred miles away from Chenggao City, and Yuan Shao is beyond his reach, so it is too late for a while." Even if he sent reinforcements, he could only rush to the tiger to firmly guard the pass. ”

"Tian Kai led an army of 3,000 to Huxiao Ridge, five miles west of the city, to block the enemy's reinforcements." Yu Ban lightly planned his war horse and walked side by side with Wang Wei, with a leisurely smile on his face, "We have enough time to attack Cheng Gao." ”

"Two generals, please stop, this place is about two hundred steps away from the city, and you can't go any further." Yu Ban's personal guard cavalry suddenly hit his horse forward and raised his hand to stop it.

Yu Ban and Wang Wei looked at each other and smiled, and each stopped his horse.

Wang Wei raised his eyes to look at the city tower in the distance, where the drums shook the sky and the flags were flying, and waved his whip indifferently and said, "Go fifty steps further and see if there are any ballistas on the city tower." ”

The personal guard cavalry team who followed behind Wang Wei was startled, hurriedly kicked the horse's belly, urged the horse to the front, and said solemnly: "Please stop the two generals immediately, and don't enter again." ”

After speaking, he waved at the guards behind Yu Ban and Wang Wei, and motioned for them to ride their horses to surround the two generals.

"Forget it, don't embarrass them." Yu Ban smiled and shook his hand, "Since Yuan Shao has gathered a large army in the area of Zhongmu and Chenliu and is preparing to enter the Central Plains, Henan's defensive strength is naturally insufficient. With our armies gathered in Hanoi, Yuan Shao could only move the focus of defense north to the south bank of the Yellow River, and stationed heavy troops on the line of Chenggao and Ao Cang, so that they could cooperate with Guotu in Hanoi from the flank to hold the three cities of Ha Duong, Wen Xian and Pinggao, and at the same time prevent us from suddenly crossing the river to the south to attack Henan, so ......"

He pointed to the big city in front of him and said lightly: "This city is not only equipped with heavy troops, but also has ballistas. You still don't try, lest you die before you can go on the expedition, leaving you with endless regrets. ”

Wang Wei laughed and said, "If I am killed by a few stray arrows under the city, it will be a joke in Hebei." ”

"General Yide ordered us to take Chenggao within two days, and then threaten Tiger Prison with one force, and one army to join him in Xingyang." Yu Ban's long history urged him to step forward and asked in a low voice, "General, how do you see this battle now?" ”

"The garrison in the city is no more than 2,000 people, and although they have ballistas and strong bows, the gap between them and our strength is too great to be worried. As long as the attack is right, it can be taken within two days. Yu Ban was confident, and his tone seemed very relaxed.

Then he frowned, looked up at the sky in the north, and said with a worried face: "I'm not worried about the Henan battlefield now, but about Hanoi." Hanoi's generals Tai Shi Ci and Sima Ju only left in Pingao with 10,000 horses, while Guo Tu had an army of 30,000. If Luoyang does not come to support Henan, but goes to support Hanoi, assembles a large army to quickly capture Pinggao and Huaicheng, and cuts off our retreat, the matter will be serious. ”

"The intention of the imperial court to order us to attack Henan is very vague, and there is no explanation yet." When Wang Wei heard Yu Ban's concern, he also nodded again and again with the same feeling, "Could it be that the lord has another purpose?" ”

Yu Ban's expression was solemn, and he looked at the enemy troops waiting on the city tower in front of him, and was silent.

After a while, Yu Ban suddenly pulled the horse's head and shouted, "Go...... Prepare for the siege ......"

Wang Wei shook his head, put aside all his thoughts, followed after Yu Ban, raised his horsewhip high, and said loudly: "Order all departments to attack the city immediately...... Siege ......"

Suddenly, the drums of war thundered, the wind surged, and the war was about to break out.

………………

Guanxi, Shaancheng, Chun Yuqiong hurriedly rushed to the city tower.

At the Maojin ferry on the other side, nearly 100 warships of the Northern Xinjiang Army and Navy were docking. On the surface of the Yellow River, more than a dozen building boats that can carry more than 1,000 people are slowly heading towards the ferry.

Standing on the city tower, Chun Yuqiong could clearly see that the first class of the building boat was full of teams of heavily armed soldiers from the Northern Frontier.

"Brother Zhong Jian, the Northern Frontier Army is about to attack." Hongnong Taishou Zhang Ji said very nervously.

Since the defeat of Li Dao and Guo Yan, Zhang Ji took the army and his nephew Zhang Xiu to take refuge with Yuan Shao, and was appointed by Yuan Shao as the Taishou of Hongnong.

It's just that Zhang Ji, as a veteran general of the Xiliang Army, has a somewhat embarrassing position under Yuan Shao. That is to say, Chun Yuqiong is easier to fool, Zhang Jizai took the advice of his nephew Zhang Xiu, and tried his best to envelop Chun Yuqiong, and take care of the relationship between each other well, otherwise Zhang Ji's life will be even more sad.

"In the direction of Fenglingdu, Taolin Fortress and Hongnong City, the warships of the Northern Xinjiang Army have appeared." Chun Yuqiong looked at the turbulent river with her eyes, and asked thoughtfully, "You say, where is Yue Fei's main attack direction this time?" ”

"Maybe it's Fenglingdu, maybe it's Hongnong City, maybe it's Shaanxi City." Zhang Ji smiled bitterly, "The current situation is confusing, the Northern Xinjiang Army will fight Hanoi for a while, Henan for a while, and now they want to fight Kansai again, who knows what their goal is?" Is it Kansai or Kanchu? Or ......"

He looked at Chun Yuqiong and asked in disbelief, "They want to fight Luoyang?" ”

"The Hu people in Northern Xinjiang rebelled, and Hebei was too busy to take care of itself, how could the Northern Xinjiang Army have the ability to attack Luoyang?" Chun Yuqiong showed a hint of ridicule on her face, "I think Yue Fei is bluffing again this time, and he is happy to be poor." Leave him alone. ”

"Leave him alone?" Zhang Ji shook his hand in surprise and said, "Brother Zhong Jian, although the Northern Frontier Army in Hedong has been bluffing every time in the past two years, the scale has never been so large. I think we should be careful and ask for help from Luoyang as soon as possible. ”

Chun Yuqiong said disappreciatively: "Whatever you want." You just say that Shaancheng has been lost, and Fu Zhi will not give you a single soldier. You saw Guo Tu's matter, what was the result? Hanoi was almost lost, but did he give him reinforcements? ”

Zhang Ji sighed and scolded in a low voice: "You defend the city, I will go to ask for reinforcements." If he doesn't give it, I'll go to Brother Benchu and sue him. (To be continued.) )
