Baidi City is a barrier before Wuxia and Kuiguan, after Yiling and Zigui. If Baidi City is captured, the 20,000 soldiers and horses protruding from the front will never come back. Although Baidi City
It is just a small city, but it is an important road connecting Jingzhou and Yizhou. After passing here is Kuiguan, after passing Kuiguan, Yizhou has no danger to defend, and can only rely on the city to deal with opponents.
Guan Yu gently placed the tea cup on the table with a solemn expression. Guan Ping grabbed the clothes on the man's chest: "What happened? When did you lose it? Why are you reporting it now?"
It turned out that Ling Tong had Zhang Yi as his guide, and he mobilized elite soldiers and generals from the navy and infantry, and obtained 5,000 soldiers and horses. They all disguised themselves as common people and walked around Yiling into the endless mountains. Zhang Yi had no idea about this.
The area was extremely familiar. Several times, Ling Tong thought there was no way out, but when he got closer, things turned out to be dark. The group spent the night at dawn, dodging Guan Yu's troops and sentry posts, and quietly headed toward Kui Guan.
According to Hua Xiong's plan, his goal is actually Kuiguan. Although Kuiguan is not a Xiongguan, it is the biggest barrier in front of him. If Kuiguan is captured, the soldiers outside will lose contact with Jiangzhou.
.At the same time, Guan Yu's army can be trapped in Yizhou. After Kui Pass, there is the Shuzhong Basin. Although it is mountainous, it is relatively flat, so it is beneficial to fight.
When they arrived at Kuiguan City, they didn't expect that the defense had increased. There were more than 5,000 troops stationed at Kuiguan. If the civilians and common people were included, there would be at least 20,000. Zhang Yi tried to enter the pass as a local citizen to inquire, but was told that there was no such thing.
Jiangzhou's Yamen ordered that no one be allowed in or out, which completely failed Ling Tong's plan to sneak into Kuiguan.
Looking at the tight defense of Kuiguan and the numerous soldiers on the city wall, Zhang Yi turned to Ling Tong and said: "General Ling, this place is not easy to fight. Even if we defeat it, if Guan Yu leads his army to attack, we may not be able to defeat him."
We can’t defend it! I think it’s better to attack Baidi City. The defense there is weak and it’s not far from Kui Pass. It’s not too late to capture Baidi City and then attack Kui Pass once the army arrives!”
Ling Tong nodded after hearing this. Last time, three thousand soldiers and horses were lost because of his recklessness. To this day, he still remembers the appearance of those lying on the ground. After hearing what Zhang Yi said, Ling Tong said: "Okay! That's Bai Di."
City, take Baidi City, and immediately send a signal to let our troops enter the city before Guan Yu’s army comes from Linjiang!”
Hundreds of years from now, in the Tang Dynasty, the poet Li Bai once wrote this poem: Chao Ci Bai Emperor among the colorful clouds, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are returned in one day, the apes on both sides of the bank can't stop crying, the light boat has passed the ten thousand mountains. Although it is said that Bai Emperor City
It was not a thousand miles away from Gangneung, which is now Nanjun, but it was not close either. If you were driving a boat from top to bottom, it would be very light and easy. But now that you are heading west, everything is going in reverse.
After receiving the news from Ling Tong, Hua Xiong immediately ordered the army to attack. While attacking, he shouted loudly: Baidi City has been captured, and you have no way out. Although these soldiers did not know what happened to Baidi City, the defenders
The generals in the city knew that Baidi City was at their rear. If the rear was not protected, how could the people in front concentrate on fighting?
The first was Jianping, which was closest to Baidi City. The defender left his soldiers and the city behind and ran away with his family's jewelry. Then came Zigui. It was not only the defender who escaped from Zigui, but also the wealthy households in the city. But they knew that Long
According to Fei's policy, in order to preserve their property as much as possible, it is better to run away. The people of Jianping and Zigui opened their city gates and waited for Long's army.
When the general who stayed in Yiling saw that Long's army was starting to attack, they immediately asked Zigui and Jianping for help. What they waited and waited for was the news that the building was deserted. The general cursed these two shameless and shameless fools. However,
My situation is serious, how should I solve it? After a long ideological struggle, I finally decided to follow the example of Jianping and Zigui.
The battle ahead was fierce from the beginning. What Yiling was holding on to was not the city wall. The two sides fought just to compete for a valley entrance. Liu Beijun was completely unable to resist the powerful bow and arrow attacks of the Dragon Army and could only hide behind big trees or rocks.
.But when the dragon army rushed forward, gravel and other things used to defend the city rolled down the hillside.
They attacked several times in a row. Perhaps Liu Bei's army had run out of reserves. When they rushed up for the eighth time, they encountered much less resistance. With the cooperation of the archers, the infantry were on both wings and the cavalry was in the middle. The dragon army killed them.
After entering the valley entrance, the captain saw that the situation was not good, so he turned around and ran inside, hoping that the defender could send him more reinforcements.
When the captain rushed into the big tent, the tent was already empty, and even the guards standing guard outside the door were gone. The captain was furious, kicked several tables, and shouted
, wielding the long sword and slashing back and forth. After a long time, he stood up from the ground mockingly and smiled helplessly. The generals had all run away, why did he work so hard for.
When he returned to the front line again, he raised his hands and shouted: "Stop! Stop! We surrender!"
The attack on Yiling took some time, but the attack on Zigui and Jianping was smooth sailing. The people of Zigui had already opened the city gate and were waiting by the road. The people of Jianping caught the escaped general and sent him to him personally.
In Hua Xiong's army, the saying "the good way has many help, the bad way has little help" is completely appropriate here. These places are closest to Jingzhou. It is clear at a glance what kind of life the people in Jingzhou live. Who doesn't want to live a good life, since there is a chance?
Should strive for it.
Guan Yu, Guan Ping and his son listened quietly to the escaped soldier's general explanation of what had happened. Both of them were silent for a long time. Guan Ping let out a long breath: "Fortunately, Kuiguan and Wuxia are still in our hands, father!
I'll go to Kui Pass now and make sure to keep Long Fei's troops out of Kui Pass."
Guan Yu still didn't speak, and Guan Ping shouted again. Guan Yu then slowly stood up: "Long Fei's soldiers and horses are extremely brave. They can't stop them with just those few soldiers and horses. Send my military order to mobilize all the soldiers in Jiangzhou."
Horse and head to Kuiguan, where I will fight Long Fei to the death!"
Suddenly, the storm surged in Kuiguan, and the troops inside and outside the pass began to gather. At first, Hua Xiong didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until the scouts reported that Guan Yu was coming in person, and the number of troops in Kuiguan increased to 50,000. Only then did Hua Xiong and others realize that Guan Yu was going to attack.
Decisive battle. Just outside Kui Pass, Hua Xiong set up camp and immediately reported to Long Fei.
"Okay! Very good!" After receiving Hua Xiong's battle report, Long Fei said several good things in succession. According to Xu Shu's information, Liu Bei's military structure has changed a lot because of Taishi Ci's death in battle. Now Zhuge Liang
There was only one general left, Wei Yan, and Liu Bei's subordinates, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei's children, and even those generals who surrendered, such as Yan Yan and Liu Zhen, were all very close to Liu Bei.
It was vaguely understood that Liu Bei wanted to make a comeback.
Guan Yu, who is stationed in Jiangzhou, can be said to be the largest force in Liu Bei's hands. Almost all of these soldiers are surrendered soldiers from Shu, and they were gathered by Guan Yu and completely out of Zhuge Liang's control. If Guan Yu can be defeated, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang will be on the same level again.
This balanced relationship is of great benefit to the attack on Yizhou.
"Order Hua Xiong to monitor closely, we must completely annihilate Guan Yu in this battle!" Long Fei shouted: "The target is Baidi City, move forward quickly!"
Guan Yu stood on the wall of the pass and looked at the dark crowd below the pass. Suddenly he remembered that his beloved long beard was chopped off by Zhou Tai outside Nanjun City. He was startled unconsciously and reached out to touch it. Fortunately,
Still there. Just this moment, there were a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead. Guan Ping didn't know when he appeared next to Guan Yu.
"Father!" Guan Ping said: "The scouts reported that Long Fei has led the army to Baidi City, with no less than 100,000 soldiers and horses! All our soldiers and horses add up to only 50,000! This battle..."
"My son, don't be afraid!" Guan Yu looked ahead. The dragon army in Guanxia was cooking. The aroma floated up with the wind and entered their nostrils. Many soldiers swallowed unconsciously. Guan Yu was no exception:
"I have written to your uncle explaining what is going on here. Your uncle will definitely find a way to increase the number of troops! It is not easy for us to get Yizhou, how can we give up like this!"
"I'm worried..."
"What are you worried about?" Guan Yu turned to look at Guan Ping: "You and I are both military generals. We should obey orders and do our own things well. Your uncle trusted me to hand over this Jiangzhou to me, so you must not lose it in my hands.
, As for other things, don’t interfere, your uncle is here, you and I will never have to worry!"
Long Fei also stood on the wall of Baidi City and looked at Kui Pass in the distance. The lights were bright and particularly dazzling. The big battle flag with the word "Guan" was flying in the wind. This pass did not have the majesty of Hulao Pass, nor did it have the heights of Tongguan and Hangu.
Guan's domineering attitude. It was like a calm middle-aged man standing there, neither humble nor overbearing, steady and down-to-earth. Long Fei understood that behind the Guan wall were thousands of troops. Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, there would be a fight.
, this is what he doesn’t want to see, but he has to see it.
"If we persuade him to surrender, do you think Guan Yu will surrender?" Long Fei looked ahead. Next to him was Xu Shu.
Xu Shu did not answer directly, but smiled lightly and said: "My lord, you are kind to a woman again? My lord seems to have forgotten Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, Yuan Shao, and Lu Bu!"
"Hahaha!" Long Fei smiled helplessly: "Yuan Zhi is scolding me, right? Hey! I wonder how many people will die in the battle tomorrow?"
"As the saying goes, one general can make thousands of bones dry up. My lord, if you want to achieve great things, you should understand this truth!" Xu Shu replied.
The sky gradually dimmed, and a bright star appeared in the southwest sky. Long Fei naturally knew that this was Venus, and he could only be seen in the sky on clear evenings in summer. The ancients called this the Taibai Star, Taibai Star.
The appearance of Venus is called a good omen. Although Long Fei didn't know whether it was good or bad, the meaning was good. Just when Long Fei looked back, a meteor suddenly flashed past Venus and fell into the western sky.
Looking in the direction of the falling meteor, it happened to be the tower of Kuiguan.
