Xun Di's shield had been shattered, and the war knife in his hand had been curled. He roared at the rushing enemy, smashed the enemy's head with the back of his thick knife, and then grabbed the enemy's halberd with his hand, and shouted: "Up, up, kill ......."
The guards were guarding Xun Di's left and right, slashing with knives and axes, advancing step by step, and they were overwhelming.
Xun Di's halberd danced and killed three people in a row. The ferocious enemy slashed through the air and severed the hilt of the halberd.
Xun Di was quick with his eyes, holding the halberd head in one hand and the half-halberd handle in the other, and hit it headlong at an unbelievable speed. The enemy was caught off guard and was knocked upside down by him.
The halberd head in Xun Di's hand was thrust into the enemy's lower abdomen. Blood spurted, and Xun Di was splashed in the face. Before Xun Di could reach out to wipe it, a whistling spear had already burst into the air.
Xun Di couldn't hide, opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood foam, and smashed the head of the gun with a punch. The spear burst open, and the momentum of the spear continued unabated, piercing straight through the guards on Xun Di's side. Before he died, the guard grabbed the spear and let out a long howl. Xun Di's heartstrings trembled, the tiger roared, his body flew into the air, and kicked the big man with the gun.
The big man screamed, retreated again and again, and fell at the feet of his military horse. Sima Sima of the Xiliang Army was stunned, and shouted angrily: "Kill, kill him, that's the captain of the Northern Frontier Army, kill him for me......"
The crossbow arrows roared, the figures flew, and the Xiliang soldiers roared loudly and rushed up.
Xun Di was not afraid, and in the exclamation of the guards, he grabbed a Xiliang sergeant, held him tightly in front of him, and blocked several sharp arrows. The arrow stopped, Xun Di roared, and smashed the desperate Xiliang sergeant at the enemy who rushed up.
The long knife roared, and Xun Di roared like a bloodthirsty beast. In the midst of the shouting, human heads flew and blood flowed, severed limbs and stumps flew in the air, and the tragic shouts tore through the dead silence of the night in an instant.
The knife was broken, the fist hit, and an angry face was suddenly smashed, the round eyes burst out, and the huge body flew into the air. Xun Di kicked up again and kicked the fierce enemy out of the city.
The soldier of the Xiliang Army shouted and scolded angrily, facing Xun Di is thunderous knife, and roared in his mouth: "Lao Tzu has chopped you ......"
Xun Di retreated sharply, and instantly collided with two people in a row. A Xiliang sergeant roared and struck sideways. Xun Di flew over, grabbed the enemy's war knife with his right hand, grabbed the enemy's leather armor with his left hand, roared, and raised the enemy in the air.
The sword of the army Sima carried the sound of wind and thunder, and slashed again. Under the knife, blood splattered, and the screams were heartbreaking.
Xun Di roared again, left the dead body, and the war knife in his right hand slashed through the air like lightning, and said sharply: "Take your life ......"
The military Sima of the Western Liang Army was shocked, and burst out with a heaven-shattering roar. As soon as the roar began, the skull rose into the air, shooting out into the darkness with a puff of blood.
"Kill the tower, kill the tower......" Xun Di kicked the headless corpse away, and shouted wildly, "Kill ......"
Zhang Yu took a song of soldiers to run at high speed in the dark night.
Zhang Jie took a group of soldiers and horses to the West City Gate at a rapid pace.
The suspension bridge on the west city gate fell with a bang, and the city gate slowly opened in the cheers of the soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army.
Xun Di was covered in blood, stationed on the spot with a knife, and stood majestically by the city gate. After the fierce battle, the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang sat in a pool of blood in twos and threes, wheezing violently, exhausted one by one.
Zhang Jie rushed into the city gate with a horse and shouted at Xun Di: "General Xun, where is the headquarters killed?" ”
"Kill the barracks and protect the grain and grass." Xun Di waved his hand and shouted, "Hurry, be fast, prevent the Xiliang Army from setting fire to the grain." ”
"Go, go, brothers, follow me to the enemy camp......" Zhang Jie shouted wildly, and roared towards the city with his soldiers.
Zhang Yu appeared in front of Gao Shun, out of breath, and couldn't stand steadily.
"Quick, take someone to kill the government directly, kill whatever you see, and leave no one behind." Xun Di gritted his teeth and said, "Kill me clean." ”
Zhang Yu didn't say a word, waved his hand behind him, and continued to run away.
Xun Di immediately ordered Hua Kang to lead people to guard the city gate, and he and Wang Zhe followed Zhang Yu with hundreds of soldiers and killed all the way to the city.
………………
Zhou Xiang, the defender of the Xiliang Army in Shaanxi, never expected that the Northern Xinjiang Army would conquer the city in a few hours. He thought he would have no problem keeping it for two days.
Two days later, Niu Fu got the news and led the army back to help, and the Northern Frontier Army was about to retreat without a fight. So he was very relieved, and he didn't even make preparations for burning grain and grass after the city was broken.
When Zhang Jie captured the barracks, Zhou Xiang was on the north city gate. When he heard that the city had been breached, and the grain and grass had been robbed by the Northern Frontier Army, he was dumbfounded.
Now that the city is lost, the grain and grass are gone, even if he kills it, it will be a capital crime to see Niu Fu. As for escaping back to Chang'an, he didn't even think about it. What kind of person Dong Zhuo is, he knows better than anyone else.
Zhou Xiang used to be the Sima of the Northern Army, and after He Jin's death, he was promoted by Dong Zhuo and became the Sima of other departments, and then for more than three years, he never got any promotion.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't get promoted, Dong Zhuo is very mean to the officers of the Northern Army, he has never been promoted, and he is not the only one who complains. But what he couldn't bear was that he was repeatedly ostracized by Xiliang officers in the army. If he hadn't given Niu Fu a few heavy gifts, he wouldn't even be able to keep this other Sima.
There is no master here, there is a place to stay here, and Lao Tzu is gone.
Zhou Xiang did not hesitate, immediately ordered the opening of the north city gate and surrendered.
………………
It was not Zhou Xiang who was responsible for the army's food and grass, but Niu Fu's long history. When this Changshi was anxious and frightened in the palace, Zhang Yu brought people in. The Northern Xinjiang army killed people when they saw them. Surrender? Surrender also kills. So the long history lost his head very reluctantly.
Zhang Fei, Xun Di, Zhong Xuan and others gathered in the city.
The corpses in the palace had been cleaned, and the night sky was filled with the smell of blood and the scorched wood of pine oil torches.
Zhang Fei and the generals talked and laughed.
Pan Zhang was caught in the crowd, his face pale, although the army had successfully captured the city, the blood and death on the battlefield still shocked and frightened him. This was the first time he had participated in a large-scale battle since he joined the Northern Frontier Army. It's one thing to talk about war on paper, but it's quite another thing to actually start a war.
Zhong Xiang took Zhou Xiang to meet Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei didn't embarrass him, comforted him a few words, and asked him to temporarily take the men and horses to Dayang City on the other side of the river.
The Northern Frontier Army was very lucky this time. The army left behind by the Xiliang army in Shaancheng originally had 5,000 people, but 1,000 men and horses sent grain and grass to Mianchi, and 1,000 men and horses went to Tong to transport grain and grass, so there were only 3,000 people left in the city.
It stands to reason that it is more than enough for the Xiliang army to leave 3,000 people to defend the city. However, the Northern Frontier Army made full use of the advantage of attacking the city at night and induced the Northern Army defending the city to divide troops to garrison the city gate, but the Western Liang Army was in the middle of the plan, and the Northern Frontier Army seized the loophole in the defense and lost the city.
Zhang Fei discussed with Zhong Xuan, and then organized the people to enter the city and transport the captured grain and grass to Hedong.
Shaancheng was the only way for the Western Liang army to withdraw to the western part of Guanxi, and after the Northern Xinjiang Army captured Shaancheng, Niu Fu's army was immediately surrounded by the Northern Xinjiang Army in the area of Mianchi. At this time, the Xiliang army had no food and grass, and was surrounded by the Northern Xinjiang Army, which was a dead end.
Zhang Fei and the others were very excited, and gathered around the map to discuss the encirclement and annihilation of the Northern Army.
"General, the news of our capture of Shaanxi City will reach the Niu Auxiliary Army by tonight at the latest." Shi Lei saw Zhang Fei walking to the side of the case, and said with a smile, "After Niu Fu gets the news, he will retreat quickly tomorrow, and he will be able to attack Shaanxi City with all his strength the day after tomorrow." As long as we stick to Shaanxi City and block the Xiliang army under the city, Niu Fu and the Xiliang army will be finished. ”
"Really?" Zhang Fei looked down at the map, then at Xun Di, and asked, "Ji Fu, what do you think?" ”
"If we want to wait until Yue Fei and Huang Zhong's army arrives in Shaancheng, we will have to hold on for at least three to five days." Xun Di said with a stern expression, "In order to make every effort to open up the way to retreat, Niu Fu will definitely send heavy troops to defend Michi to block Yue Fei and Huang Zhong's army. In this way, our 5,000 men and horses will have to face the crazy attack of at least 50,000 Xiliang troops alone. We have sufficient grain and grass, and Hedong can still support us in time, so it is definitely not a problem to hold on to Shaancheng for more than five days. ”
"The Xiliang army has nearly 60,000 troops. The grain and grass brought by the army could only last for three or four days at most. Three or four days later, the Xiliang army ran out of food and grass, the morale of the army was weakened, and the morale was low, and it was bound to be defeated. It's just ......" Xun Di pointed to the pond on the map and said worriedly, "Yue Fei and Huang Zhong only have more than 20,000 people, if Niu Fu and 10,000 people defend the pond, their losses in breaking through the city will be very amazing." If the losses of the Northern Xinjiang Army are too great, even if they can rush to Shaanxi City to encircle and annihilate the Xiliang Army, they will not be able to completely annihilate it, and at most they will only severely damage the Xiliang Army. ”
"Three to five days?" Shi Lei frowned and said, "If Niu Fu attacked Shaanxi City with an army of 50,000, the loss of our 5,000 men would be very staggering. ”
"Even if we completely annihilate the Xiliang army in this battle, we will lose more than half, and the army will not be able to fight again." Xun Di said, "Dong Zhuo is angry, if we send troops to Kansai again at all costs, we can only retreat to Hangu Pass, and the situation in Kansai and Kanto will become very tense." ”
Zhang Fei nodded appreciatively and said, "Ji Fu's words are reasonable. Yue Fei took into account the lack of our troops, so he had no intention of fighting a decisive battle with the Xiliang army under the city of Shaancheng. ”
He looked up at everyone, suddenly smiled, and said, "What does Yue Fei mean...... The army immediately withdrew from Shaancheng and went up to the mountains again. ”
Thinking of Yue Fei's explanation before leaving, Zhang Fei also had to admit that the little white-faced brain was really good, and after casually discussing it with Xun Gongda, he came up with such a good plan that made people stunning.
Zhang Fei is very helpless, if he goes head-to-head, even if two little white faces go together, he will never be his opponent, but if he really wants to use strategy, I'm afraid that ten of them will be tied together, and they won't be able to fight the little white face. (To be continued.) )
