Chapter 101 The Festival of Fortitude, Guan Yu becomes apprentice to Lu Zhi
If Ren Yi met any one of Zhang Fei, Taishi Ci and Tian Yuzhong, he might have a slight chance of success.
But unfortunately, Ren Yi met Guan Yu!
I have always looked down upon scholars like Ren Gao, but Ren Gao is still a villain who is unjust and unjust for profit, and bullies others with power. He also has the past crime of abandoning the city and fleeing.
It was Guan Yu's kindness to give Ren Na a happy life.
Although the four cavalry groups, except Zhang Fei and Tian Yu, Guan Yu and Tai Shi Ci were commanding cavalry for the first time, Guan Yu often reviewed the "Dog Tao" and had his own understanding of the usage of cavalry.
Taishi Ci himself was proficient in bow and horse, and he came from a family of famous officials in Donglai. He had also been studying military skills since he was a child.
Even if there is a lack of experience, personal bravery can make up for it.
Then there is Zheng Ping's tactical plan: if he fails to succeed in one attack, he immediately flees. He uses the mobility of the cavalry and the skill of mounted archery to kill the Yellow Turban thieves with bows and arrows as much as possible to demoralize their troops.
Although the Yellow Turbans were fierce, they did not cooperate and mostly fought on their own. Secondly, there was no strong general to boost morale. Xu He listened to Ren Wei and deliberately regarded the Yellow Turbans on the periphery as abandoned sons.
As a result, this group of yellow turban thieves, the most elite and skilled in fighting among the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, gradually showed signs of defeat under the encirclement of four cavalry groups led by Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Taishi Ci, and Tian Yu.
Xu He, who was in the inner courtyard, saw that the offensive of the four groups of officers and soldiers was getting more and more fierce, and he gradually lost his composure.
"This guy Ren Yi, why hasn't he come back yet?"
"Could it be that Ren Yi is really on the same side as Liu Bei and just deliberately slowed down our military morale?"
Thinking of this possibility, Xu He stood up suddenly, holding the spear in his hand tightly, his eyes instantly as cold as ice.
"Report! Commander Qu, the officers and soldiers have already reached the outer courtyard." The men looked panic-stricken.
But Xu He's face showed a fierce look, and he shouted coldly: "Why are you panicking? The cavalry can't be used in this inner courtyard. The advantage lies with us!"
Xu He dared to treat the surrounding Yellow Turbans as abandoned children, not because he just ignored everything when his head got hot.
Ren Yi is a very wealthy and cautious person.
For fear of being retaliated by thieves, the architectural layout of the inner courtyard has always been built in a style that makes it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
"Bring Ren Hao's wife and children here." Xu He gave the order coldly, not panicking about the officers and soldiers who were fighting in the outer courtyard.
Not long after.
Ren Yi's wife and children were taken to the inner hall.
Looking at Ren Yi's charming wife, Xu He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, but he was not as lustful as Sima Afraid.
Xu He's cold and ferocious gaze prevented Ren Ya's wife and children from even the slightest thought of resistance.
"Although I, Qushuai, have occupied Ren Yi's manor, he has always taken care of you mother and son. However, Ren Yi did not care about me, Qushuai's kindness, and actually betrayed me, Qushuai."
"I wanted to kill you mother and son with one knife, but I am always kind and will not bully the old, weak, women and children."
"If you can tell me the location of the tunnel leading to the outside of the manor, I will never be in trouble again."
Ren Yi's beloved wife trembled: "Qu Shuai, I don't know the true location of the manor."
"It seems that you are planning to be buried with me. It's good that you can have a charming beauty by your side before you die, so you won't be lonely on this road to hell."
"Wait, I know!" Ren Gao's son, Ren Gu, saw that Xu He was even more murderous and said quickly.
Xu He's eyes suddenly lit up.
Originally I just wanted to defraud Ren Na's wife and children, but I didn't expect that it was really true.
After determining the location of the tunnel, Xu He immediately tightened his defense line. While resisting the attack of Guan Yu's four generals, he sent people into the tunnel to explore the tunnel's exit.
This cautious style made Ren Na's wife and children feel a chill in their hearts.
Especially Ren Yi's son couldn't help but look pale at this moment.
"Commander Qu, the officers and soldiers are preparing rockets!"
Upon hearing the news, Xu He's expression changed drastically.
"Rockets? They're going to burn down the village!"
Ren Ai's inner courtyard is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, but no matter how easy it is to defend and difficult to attack, it is still just a manor, not a city wall or a fort.
The order given to Guan Yu's four generals was to destroy Xu He who was entrenched in Ren's Manor at all costs.
No surrender accepted!
The Yellow Turban rebels who resisted for ten days would rebel even if they surrendered.
Rather than doing this, it would be better to do it once and for all.
Rockets need to wrap the arrowhead with oilcloth, and the production is more cumbersome than ordinary arrows. The range and penetration power of rockets are also not as good as ordinary arrows due to the oilcloth, so they are not widely used.
It will only be used when preparing a fire plan.
When Zheng Ping came to attack Ren's Manor this time, he expected that Xu He would resist, so he specially equipped each of his cavalrymen with a rocket.
There was no persuasion to surrender, no hesitation.
Nearly two thousand branches fell towards the inner courtyard like meteors.
It is the dry season of autumn and winter, and the fire in the inner courtyard gradually spreads from the starry sky at the beginning, and the thick smoke billows, becoming a prairie fire.
The four generals of Guan Yu were guarding the exit. As long as there were yellow turban thieves who came out, they would all be shot one by one!
In the inner courtyard.
Xu He dragged Ren Yi's son angrily: "Where is the authentic one? Do you dare to lie to me?"
Ren Yi's son was also confused.
Since Ren Yao betrayed Xu He, it means that Ren Yao was with the officers and soldiers outside. Why did the officers and soldiers burn down the village?
There is nothing authentic about it, it is just a trick played by Ren Yi's son to show off his cleverness and want to capture Xu He alive.
"Hahaha!"
"I see!"
Xu He figured out the reason.
"What kind of stupid father there is, there is also what kind of stupid son."
"Ren Yi, a self-righteous fool, wants to take Ben Qushuai's head as credit for his military exploits. And you, a kid, lied about being authentic and wanted to capture me alive."
"But I don't know that in Liu Bei's eyes, you father and son are nothing!"
Finished.
Xu He shot Ren Yao's wife and children twice in a row.
Then he lit up the yellow turban bandits he could gather around him and broke out.
The fire at this moment is not that big, and there is still a chance to break through.
Although Xu He knew that there must be officers and soldiers blocking the exit, if he didn't break through, he would really be burned to death in the inner courtyard.
"Follow me to charge and kill!"
Xu He stayed in Qingzhou for seven or eight years, and he did not die even when Zhang Jiao died.
This ferocious heart is far beyond ordinary people.
"The turtle finally came out!"
Zhang Fei carried the snake spear and looked contemptuously at the exit of the inner courtyard.
"Kill the enemy right now!"
"Raise the bow!"
Swish swish swish.
Sharp arrows shot at the Yellow Turban bandits mercilessly.
Although the thieves and soldiers are brave, the officers and soldiers are not weak either.
Qingzhou already had many soldiers and weapons, but it was only because Jiao He was not good at fighting that the Yellow Turbans were allowed to go wild.
Now that Liu Bei has become the governor of Qingzhou, he has taken advantage of weapons to the extreme!
There is a rain of arrows in front of you, and fire and smoke behind you. Even if you put down your weapon, you will inevitably be killed by sharp arrows.
The Yellow Turban bandits suddenly fell into despair.
But Guan Yu's four generals did not give up the attack because of this.
Liu Bei is kind enough!
Liu Bei gave these yellow scarf soldiers ten days to surrender.
But since the Yellow Turban bandits chose to resist, they would have to face life and death on the battlefield.
"Xu He is here, who dares to fight me?"
