No matter how Long Fei challenged him, Xia Houyuan just stayed behind closed doors. Although he launched two night attacks, they had little effect due to Xia Houyuan's tight defense. The days passed and it was already the morning of the third day. Long Fei stared at the map.
The word Yiyang is a bit frustrating.
"I have an idea, General, would you like to hear it?" Meng Shuo appeared beside Long Fei at some point.
Long Fei nodded: "You can say anything you want. We are not a one-word court here. As long as it is a good strategy, we can explain it clearly."
Meng Shuo said: "The so-called soldiers are deceitful. Since Xia Houyuan is not willing to fight with us, there is no need for us to fight him here. The general can leave some troops in Yiyang and secretly lead the army to Lushan.
, This will not only give Cao Cao a surprise attack, but also defeat Xia Houyuan's plan to drag us here!"
Everyone looked at Meng Shuo with admiration. He was indeed a disciple of the Meng family. Although this strategy was a bit simple, it was still a method. Guo Jia smiled slightly: "What Meng Shuo said is true, my lord, you should give it a try!"
Li Ru said quickly: "No, Xia Houyuan wants to drag us here. How can we not have sentries? Xia Houyuan will know immediately when our army moves. How can we resist Xia Houyuan's sudden attack? Yiyang City is small and broken. If it is defeated,
Wancheng is in danger!"
Jia Xu said: "After Meng Shuo said this, I have a plan to ensure that Xia Houyuan never comes back!"
The stalemate with Long Fei lasted four days. The situation on the Lushan side was reported. After receiving Xiahouyuan's letter, Cao Cao immediately mobilized heavy troops to launch a fierce attack on Lushan. However, the Lushan guards Wenpin and Huaxiong calmly responded to the battle, with one person outside and one person inside.
The situation was so strong that it was difficult to break through for a while. Cao Cao asked Xia Houyuan to delay for a few more days, and he was going to test the secret weapon he had just obtained in Mount Lu.
"Report...! General, there are changes in Yiyang!"
"speak!"
"The Yiyang defenders are packing up and want to retreat!"
"Oh!" Xia Houyuan naturally understood what Long Fei wanted to do. He would never let Long Fei reinforce Lu Shan, but when he thought about it, he smiled: "Let's explore again!"
The Yiyang army quietly drove out of the city gate under the cover of night. Without torches, they groped on the ground little by little with only the moonlight. The war horses wrapped their hooves with cotton cloth, and the cavalry tried to keep the horses as quiet as possible. Xia Houyuan was lying on the hillside not far away.
He could see clearly. Groups of soldiers and horses, and tanks one after another, were in order, without any confusion. Xia Houyuan nodded secretly, Long Fei's soldiers and horses were indeed elite, and if they really fought, his men might not be able to win.
.
Watching Long Fei's soldiers and horses leave the city, but there are no fewer flags on the city. Xia Houyuan waved, and the soldiers behind him hurried over. Xia Houyuan whispered a few words, and the man turned around and disappeared into the darkness. The moon set in the west,
The sun had not yet come out, and the earth was shrouded in darkness. Suddenly, fire burst into the sky in the woods to the east, and the bright torches instantly ignited the entire woods.
Xia Houyuan shouted: "Kill...! Capture Yiyang!"
Cao Jun shouted and rushed towards Yiyang. The defenders on the city responded in a hurry and could not withstand Cao Jun's sudden attack. Soon the east gate was declared to be lost, and Cao Jun swarmed in. The resistance in the city was extremely light, and even the basic defense was
It was difficult for them to survive, and they occupied Yiyang without much effort. Xia Houyuan took a deep breath and looked at the dilapidated city. There were ruins everywhere, and thatch for building houses was piled randomly on both sides. Xia Houyuan actually had something in his heart.
A little excited, after taking Yiyang, the next step is to go straight to Wancheng.
"Report...!" The urgent call made Xiahou Yuan's heart suddenly tighten, and a sense of danger spread throughout his body. The messenger rushed to Xia Houyuan in a panic, knelt down and saluted: "General, suddenly appeared outside the city.
A large number of Long Fei troops have surrounded Yiyang!"
Xia Houyuan gritted his teeth. It turned out that he had fallen into Long Fei's trick of stealing a dragon and turning it into a phoenix. Long Fei was suffering from the fact that he could not fight with him outside, so he deliberately abandoned Yiyang and lured himself to seize it. He took the opportunity to surround himself in Yiyang City and forced himself to fight.
Xia Houyuan's eyes widened and he took a deep breath: "Everyone, come to the city!"
"Wha...!" A sharp arrow shot up into the sky, dragging its black tail straight into the sky in the early morning darkness.
Long Fei rode on his horse and shouted to Huang Zhong: "Brother Huang, it's up to you now! Fire the arrow!"
Huang Zhong took off his Yangyouji bow from behind, stretched out his hand to try it, and picked up an arrow with cotton wrapped around it. Someone hurriedly lit the arrow with a torch in his hand. Huang Zhong used his left arm to support his right.
He pulled his arm back hard, and the bow made a creaking sound. He slightly raised the arrow to form a forty-five-degree angle with the ground, aiming at the left corner of the roof of Yiyang City. He released his right hand slightly, and the bowstring made a sound.
With a soft sound, the flaming arrow flew high into the air, drawing a graceful arc in the air and heading straight for the city tower.
"Boom!" A huge sound shook the surroundings, and the ground was shaking continuously. The huge explosion first flew away the soldiers near the tower, and a huge fireball with black smoke surrounded the entire tower, swallowing the entire tower in an instant. Then.
Smoke and dust flew everywhere, sawdust flew everywhere, the tower was torn apart, sawdust flew in all directions like knives, and many soldiers were hit and lay on the ground wailing.
As soon as Xia Houyuan entered the city, he was pushed down from the city by the incoming air wave. He spun around in the air several times and hit a low wall heavily. Mud, sawdust, and green bricks fell from the sky.
Xia Houyuan had no choice but to huddle in the corner with his head in his hands. Explosions occurred one after another. The soldiers' wailing and panic spread rapidly like an infectious disease. No matter how the officers stopped, they could not stop it.
"General, what should I do? Long Fei knows magic!" Two personal guards dug Xia Houyuan out of the rubble. Xia Houyuan's nose and face were bruised and swollen from the smash, and he was covered with dust. He did not have the demeanor of a Confucian general at all. He was a little stupid, and he didn't do it yet.
I understood what was going on, and where did such a huge sound and terrifying power come from. There was a buzzing in the ears. The collapsed soldiers were running around screaming.
"General! General!" The guard shook Xia Houyuan vigorously, hoping that he would wake up.
Although it was only a few minutes, it felt as long as a year. When all the sounds stopped and the dust settled, Xia Houyuan was helped up from the ground, his ears were still buzzing. He looked at Yi Yi who had turned into ruins.
Yang, Xia Houyuan's mouth opened wide: "Didn't they come in?"
After counting his losses, Xia Houyuan almost cried. In just a moment, more than 600 people died, 5,000 were injured, and more than 200 people disappeared without a trace. The rest of the people stood there with trembling legs.
He was in a daze and completely incapable of fighting anymore.
"My lord has said it! I will give you a stick of incense to think about it. Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who want to survive must come out quickly. After this time, we will fight in and leave no one behind!" A huge voice shouted outside the city.
, the people inside could hear it clearly.
Long Fei's soldiers had never seen such a war. Such a loud noise and powerful destructive power were unheard of. Everyone sighed in their hearts. Fortunately, this belonged to their own people. If it were the enemy, they would be really hard to resist. Long Fei
Fei took a long breath and shook his head slightly: "Wen He! You are doing evil. A perfectly good city is about to be reduced to the ground just because of your words! Look, I don't know how many soldiers died because of you.
die!"
Jia Xu was helpless. Originally he only suggested burning Yiyang, but Long Fei also used new weapons on a whim. They naturally understood what new weapons were, and these were gunpowder made by Long Fei himself. Talun and Wang Wei went to buy them outside the Great Wall.
After buying six carts of saltpeter, Qingfeng and Qingyu brothers and sisters who were forcibly snatched away by Long Fei refined the saltpeter. As soon as he had time, Long Fei got into his so-called laboratory, and he didn't know how much he had produced over the years.
Gunpowder. But the power of this gunpowder is indeed powerful.
Some people had already come out of the city. They were all disgraced, and the look on their faces told that they had collapsed. These people would never go to the battlefield. Xia Houyuan was the last one to be carried out. One of his legs was hit by a beam.
Unable to walk. Long Fei chuckled: "Long time no see, General Xiahou?"
Xia Houyuan stared at Long Fei coldly: "Humph, the defeated general, you have to kill or behead him as you please!"
"I'm not willing to kill you. Maybe Cao Cao will give you something in exchange for keeping you! That's a big deal!"
"You!" Xia Houyuan was completely speechless. There was no advantage in dealing with a shameless gangster like Long Fei.
Xu Chu walked past each of Cao's soldiers and checked them one by one. Dian Wei was a little helpless: "I said big man, Cao Hong is no longer here. If you want to avenge him, hurry up and ask the boss to send troops to Lushan. Cao Cao is over there. Cao Hong must be there."
!”
However, Long Fei has delayed sending troops. According to his statement, it is only six days away from the ten-day deadline. Let the army rest first. Everyone is completely speechless. They have to rest when the war is about to begin. What kind of logic is this.
However, no matter who is the master, everyone is helpless. After staying in Yiyang for another two days, Xu Chu really couldn't bear it anymore, so he went to Long Fei: "General, you use your troops like the wind. How can you stay here for a long time? What if there is someone in Lushan?"
Lost, Wancheng is in danger! It’s better to reinforce Lushan as soon as possible!”
Long Fei saw that Xu Chu didn't answer his question and said, "How about I give you a task?"
"General, please speak!"
Long Fei picked up a bamboo slip and handed it to Xu Chu: "I have sent people to check. This time, Cao Hong did not send troops with Cao Cao, but was left to guard Dongjun. I want you and Chen Dao to go with a dozen people.
Dongjun, if you have the opportunity to come back with Cao Hong's head, would you be willing?"
Xu Chu's eyes widened and he nodded solemnly: "Thank you, General!" He turned around and was about to go out.
Long Fei hurriedly stopped him: "Remember, don't force yourself. How many people go and how many come back. If one person is missing, there is no need to come back!"
"Promise!" Xu Chu naturally understood the meaning of Long Fei's words. Xu Chu's heart warmed and he hurriedly turned his head.
