At the end of the morning meal, when the late autumn sunshine shines on the earth and shines brightly on the world.
In Chenliu County and Chendu, the war is starting.
As the current capital of the Han Dynasty, the area of Chendu has expanded a lot.
The original city served as Liu Xie's palace residence. Later, three more cities were built to the east, south, and southeast of the palace, and city walls were built around it.
Originally, after Yan Kuang entered the city, he should have sealed the four gates immediately, so that he could catch turtles in the jar.
But how could he have expected that there would be a foreign invasion at this moment?
All the manpower was used to surround Liu Xie's palace, resulting in insufficient defensive power at the four outer gates, and they were killed by Huangmen soldiers who moved in from more than 600 miles away.
Wang Xing found that the reinforcements had arrived, and he cheered up and said: "I knew the general would not give up on us. The reinforcements are coming. Soldiers, kill!"
"kill!"
Those who were sent to respond internally were all alert men, and their morale immediately soared. They brandished their knives and fought with the enemy.
"It doesn't matter."
Wei Huang asked: "Don't we have any other reinforcements?"
At least in this era, everyone is equal with bows and arrows. Even if you are Lu Bu, you will die if you are shot, so if you are not wearing heavy armor, you will probably suffer heavy losses if you force a breakthrough.
"Beep beep beep beep!"
For a time, there was chaos and chaos. You squeezed me and I squeezed you. Everyone was in a mess.
Soon, like bulldozers, they bulldozed Cao Jun's troops on the south street and attacked on the north street. They were already less than 200 meters away from them.
Fortunately, because of the construction of a new city, the previous moat was filled in, and a new canal was dug from the sewer water in the north of the city to go around the outer city. Otherwise, no one knows how many people would have fallen into the moat and become floating corpses.
After hearing the scout's words, Zhou Tai's expression changed. He had already thought of the enemy where he was thinking. The enemy general was indeed extraordinary and was the first to resolve the crisis step by step.
The door bolt of the palace gate was broken in the chaos. After Yan Kuang's Diannong army fled into the palace in panic, everyone was afraid that the Huangmen soldiers would come in, and no one dared to close the palace gate.
The servants summoned by the palace guards from the Suzaku Gate, the remaining palace guards, and Yan Kuang's soldiers and horses all gathered together in force. Seven or eight thousand people were arranging in an exciting formation.
Wang Xing was covered in blood, and his back and left arm were each wounded. The blood stained his bun and made his hair that had been let down become knotted.
Not far away, Geng Ji, Wei Huang, Ji Miao, Jimu and others suddenly became anxious. Ji Miao even stepped forward and said: "General, since you are already here, why bother leaving again?"
General.
You will never give up on your brothers and sisters!
"On the left, A team will go to A team, and another team will go to the right to help up the injured brothers and take away the bodies of the dead brothers. B team will go to the two villages to form a circle to protect them. Bing and D team squadrons
Go up and use your bows and crossbows to defend yourself, Wu Ziqu to guard you, and Ji Ziqu to deal with the enemy's wounded soldiers."
"General."
In fact, Shen Chen knew from the beginning that this plan was too difficult to implement. No matter how he thought about it, he knew that as long as Cao Jun was not stupid, their reinforcements would definitely arrive first.
If the scouts hadn't seized the high-rise buildings on the street outside the palace gate and noticed the abnormal situation behind the palace wall, I'm afraid they would have fired arrows like a hail of arrows once they attacked head-on.
Shen Tao shook his head: "You don't understand. General Zuo sent us here just to compete with Cao Hong. If we can arrive first, they will be defeated. But we didn't expect them to come so fast and seize the palace gate. It's difficult now."
Fight in, but Cao Jun’s reinforcements are already on their way, if they don’t leave, the entire army will be wiped out!”
I have to say that Yan Kuang was worthy of being the general of Cao Cao's only regular army deployed near Chendu. His judgment was still very correct. If the offensive was not defended in time, Shen Tao could rush into the palace and kidnap the emperor.
Wang Xing was also helped to stand in front of Shen Tao by the soldiers.
The painful thing is that too many brothers have died, and the faces that were once familiar have turned into corpses.
I am glad and happy because the reinforcements have arrived.
Shen Tao kept giving orders, and the Huangmen soldiers who had gathered in formation immediately dispersed. On the left and right, two teams with a total of 100 people rushed towards the Wang Xing soldiers in the field. In addition, two more people from the village protected them to prevent the enemy. Raid.
The streets are littered with corpses.
However, he forgot that his slaves had little fighting ability in the first place. They relied almost entirely on Wang Xing and others to enter the palace. They were blocked outside the palace gate for three or four days, which seriously delayed the attack speed and caused Yan Kuang to leave and return.
Ji Miao and Ji Mu suddenly became sad and cried bitterly while holding Ji Ben's body.
"My father died in vain!"
"Welcome the emperor and serve the high officials. Go straight to Chendu to help the country. Fight Cao Cao's thieves and save the people! You will freeze to death without demolishing the house, and starve to death without looting!"
Yan Kuang saw that many people were not even killed in fighting with the enemy, but were trampled to death by their own people, pushed, trampled, and crowded. The Qinglong Gate was blocked.
The people behind didn't know what was going on, but they still rushed forward, causing people in the streets and alleys to fall on their backs and make a mess.
Thinking of this, Shen Tao waved her hand and said: "Withdraw!"
Immediately afterwards, everyone carried the corpses, helped people, and quickly cleaned up the battlefield. At the same time, the Huangmen soldiers on the left and right followed the previous orders and controlled the alleys and the streets outside Qinglongmen.
Zhou Tai heard what Shen Tao said and suggested: "General, although the enemy ambushed the archers, they are ambushing the northeast corner and guarding the east palace gate. We can attack from the southeast corner palace gate or the south gate. "
However, a large number of Cao Jun's defeated soldiers blocked their progress. When they approached, a large number of Cao Jun's soldiers rushed into the palace, and Yan Kuang also escaped from the north gate.
"Thank you, General."
Yan Kuang looked to the south from a distance. The situation in the south was no longer optimistic. Huangmen had fewer soldiers, but they were more elite and had small hand crossbows, which were particularly useful in street fighting.
When Huangmen soldiers passed through the middle of the cross street, thousands of people came out of the houses on the south side of West Street.
But Yan Kuang couldn't care about this at this time. His first priority now was to preserve his strength and then assemble his troops to fight the enemy.
"Hahahahaha."
There were only over a hundred remaining soldiers who were still standing. Shen Chen originally had four to five hundred soldiers stationed in Chendu and surrounding counties. This time, in order to cooperate with Yoshimoto and others, they mobilized in full force, and almost the entire army was wiped out. .
While they were cleaning the battlefield and rescuing the wounded soldiers, the Qinglong Gate was already in a commotion.
Seeing this situation, Shen Tao knew that they could no longer enter the palace gate. They were able to defeat the opponent at a very small cost. First of all, the mobility of the iron feet, coupled with the mid-range shooting advantage of the hand crossbow, while the enemy had the long-range advantage of the bow and arrow.
"Yan Kuang is not simple."
"withdraw!"
Shen Tao raised her head and looked at the palace door.
Shen Tao laughed loudly, raised her arms and shouted: "Welcome the emperor and serve as ministers. Go straight to Chendu and help the country. Fight Cao Cao's thieves and save the people! You will freeze to death without demolishing the house, and starve to death without looting!"
Sharp whistles resounded through the sky, and a large number of Cao soldiers fled in panic, retreating through the east gate of the palace.
"Report."
Suddenly the people in front were stunned.
But Gibbon and the others were too confident, thinking that once Yan Kuang left, Chendu would be empty and the remaining guards would not be able to stop them.
At this time, several scouts came to report: "There is an archer ambushed in the northeast corner."
Therefore, Shen Tao, the commander-in-chief of the Huangmen soldiers, seems to only lead 3,000 men, but his status is comparable to that of a Zhonglang general, while the six Qujunhous are basically skipping Army Sima and belong to the rank of captain.
Shen Tao replied seriously: "We are the only ones on this road. I hope everyone can understand that General Zuo and Cao Hong are facing each other on the front line. Our troops are far less than the other side. It is not easy to send a supporting army. Now Cao Hong is everywhere. We are rushing towards Chendu, if we don't retreat immediately, we will be surrounded on all sides."
The Qinglong Gate is half-covered and you can vaguely see the chaos inside. If you go in at this time, you might still have a chance to defeat the enemy.
Yan Kuang was silent for only three breaths, then waved his right hand upward fiercely and said: "Blow the whistle and retreat into the palace!"
Wang Xing said with difficulty: "He is incompetent and has not completed his task."
Although Huangmen soldiers fought two battles in the middle, the Battle of Langling and the Battle of Daoting, they crossed more than 600 miles from Langling to Chendu in just five days, but Zhao Yan couldn't help it. Here's a plan, they just changed people and horses all the way, so there was really no other way.
"General, it's a trap."
Zhoutai was also a member of the Huangmen soldiers, and was promoted to Bingzi Ququ Junjun for his military exploits.
Shen Tao sighed, turned her head and gave an order, and the soldiers suddenly turned around and walked south along the street.
The soldiers in the rear were retreating steadily. The soldiers did not gather into formation, so they were definitely no match for the closely coordinated Huangmen soldiers.
The Chendu Palace was not very big, less than one mile from the north to the south. Infantry archers were deployed at both corners for defense, basically covering the entire palace wall and the Qinglong Gate. They also defended half of the palace wall on the north and south sides. It was very Difficult to break in.
Wang Xing let out a long breath and gradually retreated behind the crowd with his remaining 100-odd soldiers.
Otherwise, if we remain in a state of chaotic street fighting, no matter how many people there are, it will only have the opposite effect.
At this time, another scout came and reported: "The enemy has also set up archers in the northwest corner."
As a result, before they could figure out the situation, when Baba led his men and horses to the West Street at the south gate of the palace, they suddenly saw a large number of soldiers wearing orange Han army uniforms that were completely different from the black military uniforms of the Wei army at the intersection of West Street and Central Street.
Although he is a Qu Junhou with a military rank of 600 shi, there is an unwritten rule in the Nanyang Army, that is, the soldiers who come from Huang Menzu and serve in other armies are at least the commander of the village, which is commonly known as the Hundred-Man General. .
These people are all slaves gathered by major aristocratic families, and they will fall in whatever direction the wind blows. When Yan Kuang entered the city, many aristocratic families gathered people to help him.
Geng Ji also looked at Jin Yi's body and sighed: "It's a pity that the imperial doctor and the Jin family have been loyal for hundreds of years. At that time, Marquis Jin was "famous for his loyalty and filial piety, and he was a servant for seven generations", but now he cannot be loyal to the emperor of the Han Dynasty. .”
"Let's go!"
Shen Tao waved his hand: "General Zuo has long persuaded Gibbon, telling him that this plan has a narrow chance of death. Gibbon refused to listen, so he had no choice but to let you cooperate. But even so, the general feels that there is less than a 30% chance of winning, and I don't blame you. "
At this time, the plan completely failed. Wang Xing looked at the tragic battlefield and showed a sad smile mixed with pain and joy.
Shen Tao sighed, shook his head and said, "Cao Cao placed him in Chendu, which shows that this guy is by no means an easy person."
Especially at the Suzaku Gate at the south gate of the palace and the Qinglong Gate at the east gate, countless people were lying on the ground, with blood flowing all over the floor.
After he killed the last enemy, he staggered a step and glanced around. There were no enemies around. The ground was full of corpses. The streets were empty. Many soldiers were killed and hacked to death, but more were injured. There were wounded soldiers from Cao's army as well as theirs.
Three thousand Huangmen soldiers roared angrily.
This demonic slogan that once resounded through Xudu once again echoed in the ears of all the officials in the city, reminding them of the scene more than ten years ago.
It was the same then.
The soldiers of Huangmen came to Xudu three times, and as if they were in an uninhabited land, they beat the generals of Xudu into a state of panic, and in the end they almost entered the city and took away the emperor.
