Zhong Yao thought about it again and again, thinking of the crisis situation between North Korea and China, and the seemingly endless rebels along the way, and thought to himself: The chaos in Xijing can no longer withstand such a military disaster. What he saw and heard in the Liangren military camp
, we also know that what Jia Wenhe said is true. If the disaster can be resolved through negotiation, it will not be a bad thing. If Situ is allowed to assist the government, the world will not know when it will be stable.
So he asked Jia Xu about his promise to negotiate peace: "I will make it clear to the court, but during this period, can you stop the Liang people from advancing?"
Jia Xu pointed to his chest, shook his head and said to Zhong Yao: "Brother Yuanchang, don't be surprised. There is no leader in the army, and there is no order of pardon. How can I convince the generals?" Seeing that Zhong Yao still wanted to argue, Jia Xu directly said
Said: "Besides, I asked Yuan Chang, how sure is Yuan Chang of deposing Wang Yun?"
Zhong Yao was speechless. His words were controlled by Jia Xu. In the end, he could only agree with Jia Xu's point of view and discuss peace as soon as possible. Once the time changed, even if the future was unclear, the Liang people would attack Xijing forcefully.
After the discussion, Jia Xu returned the seals and ribbons and scepters of Zhong Yao and Jin Xiang, and gave them horses and pass tokens. The two finally looked at Jia Xu for a moment, and soon galloped towards the night.
Gone to the West.
And at this time, on the twenty-seventh day of the seventh lunar month, when all the attention of the Chang'an court was on the east side of Gaoling, Wang Fang, who was originally stationed in Chongquan, led his 7,000 cavalry and suddenly crossed
The Jingshui River marched westward on the north bank, rushing for 150 miles at night, and then headed south again, crossing two tributaries of the Jingshui River in succession.
The location for crossing the river was carefully chosen. There was a forest on the north bank of the crossing, which was convenient for concealing their whereabouts. Moreover, they had traveled many times and were very familiar with Jingshui. They did not need a boat when crossing the water, and just stepped directly from the shallowest point. The water was too deep.
It was as deep as their knees. Moreover, there was only a yellow and white city between the tributaries that had long been abandoned, so no one could stop them. And when they crossed the second tributary, it was lunch time. Perhaps due to the lack of troops, Lu Bu
The patrol range of the Jingshui River is very large, so generally there are scouting activities on the south bank of Jingshui River only at a few times of the day.
The king was able to successfully cross to the south bank and marched for nearly two hundred miles all night. The soldiers were tired, so he ordered the army to rest in the woods for half an hour, put on underwear that was not wet, and eat again.
Bring a little dry food. They marched with about 6,000 cavalry and brought about seven days of supplies for a surprise attack on this day, so after a short rest, the king continued southward.
However, after walking about five miles further north, they still ran into a small group of Gaoling scouts. They were all unarmored light cavalry. They were obviously here to detect the scale of the incoming Liang people. After discovering the scouts, Wang Fang asked his brother-in-law Chi Gong to lead them.
Ten horses went to chase. Under the scorching sun, the two groups of horses shuttled back and forth between the woods and the deserted fields. One of the scouts' horse hoof was injured, so he had to change to someone else's horse, leaving an injured horse behind.
Enemy. Apart from this, Wang Fang has not gained anything.
In the evening, the king arrived at the planned location, which was to the west of Gaoling City. Now that he knew that his traces had been discovered by Lu Bu, he ordered people to light countless bonfires to intimidate the enemy. Under the roaring bonfires, they began to set up camp, planning to
Wait here for friendly forces on the remaining three sides.
Lu Bu stood on the city wall, looking at the continuous fire on the ground to the west, with a very ugly face. Zhang Liao, who was accompanying him, analyzed and said: "General, when attacking a city, you usually surround three and one is missing, in the hope that the defender will abandon the city. But now the enemy's army
To actually go to the west first, I'm afraid this is a plan to gather together and annihilate our army without letting a single living person go!"
"I know." Lu Bu also saw it. He gritted his teeth and said, "Those cold dogs have several times more troops than me. They must think that I am weak and can be bullied. How can they take me seriously?" But he revealed another one.
With a proud smile, but hatred brewing in it, he said to Zhang Liao: "Now there is only one enemy on one side. It is the time for our army to go out of the city and fight first. If the cold dogs are beaten to pain, the city can be defended."<
/p>
"It's just that the scouts didn't find out the number of thieves. Now it's hard to see how many there are at night. It might not be good to attack rashly!"
Lu Bu shook his head and said: "If the rebel army is really large, there is no need to expel the scouts. Wenyuan, use your courage to kill. Don't forget, I have also set up an ambush outside the city, and there are trapped troops to help.
Are you afraid that you won't be able to defeat the cold dog who has not yet established the camp? The enemy is at a loss and we are at ease. It's the right time! I'll order the troops, you go and light the beacon, and let Gao Shun and I kill the camp immediately!"
The reason why Lu Bu had the confidence to seize the camp was because, as he said, he ordered Gao Shun to lead three thousand cavalry to hide in the mountains and forests south of the city for a surprise attack. It was the perfect time to use it at this time.<
/p>
Wang Fang really didn't expect Lu Bu to be so courageous. He thought that everything he did along the way was in accordance with the military arrangements, and there were no omissions. He also thought that Li Jue's troops were coming soon, so he didn't care about defense and openly attacked Gaoling five miles west of Gaoling City.
He set up camp everywhere. But after half an hour, he saw something strange in Gaoling City. The city on the plateau was lit up with red and yellow fire, and was wrapped in a layer of dense white smoke, like thousands of cattails in a beacon.
Rising in the air.
Then there was a faint thumping sound, which Wang Fang was very familiar with, and he quickly realized: it was the sound of attacking drums. He quickly called out: "Arm up the army! Fight!" At this time, he realized that he had made another mistake
He made a mistake and arranged for his soldiers to help set up camp, but he was not with him for a while. He had to shout to himself while gathering the sergeants around him, and finally found the soldiers, but it was too late. The gate of Gaoling was already wide open, and the guard
The people of the city filed out of the city gate and rushed towards the camp.
At this time, Wang Fang had just managed to gather more than a thousand people. He temporarily handed over these troops to his brother Wang Kuang, letting them rely on half of the camp to resist, while he continued to organize the army. Wang Fang thought, as long as Wang Kuang
Kuang can resist. If you give him some time to continue to organize his army, he will be able to fight back all these dogs back to the city!
Wang Kuang had seen a lot of these situations. When he was suppressing the rebellion in Longban, he didn't know how many Qiang people camped at night, but this time it was Lu Bu. He took more than a thousand people to the easternmost deer horn and let the new soldiers
They walked to the front first, and the veterans got on their horses and waited a hundred paces behind the camp gate.
The leader at the front was Wei Xubu. He saw that although there was chaos in the rear of the Liang camp, and the antlers were hurriedly tied, and there were gaps in many places, the soldiers in front were still in good order, so he immediately ordered to go over and launch a round.
.
When the cavalry in the forefront were about to approach the antlers, they suddenly grabbed the reins of their horses, led the cavalry behind them to the left and right, and fired arrows at Liang Ren behind the antlers. There was no trace of the arrows in the night, and they could only be heard.
There were bursts of arrows piercing armor, and many people groaned, and then fell to the ground without any warning. It was like a nightmare attack at night, and no one could resist it.
The Liang people immediately fought back with bows and arrows, but they were slower after all. Wei Xu's front team fired two rounds, then turned their horses and retreated quickly to the rear. The Liang people only had time to shoot one round, and many of them missed.
Only some of the people who retreated slowly were hit by flying arrows and their horses fell to the ground, but no one could clearly see their miserable appearance.
The cavalry who were waiting for the merger were organized again, and more cavalry arrived later. Lu Bu also arrived on a red rabbit. He held a long spear in his hand and scolded Wei Xu: "What are you waiting for? Just kill him.
"Although Wei Xu knew that he was used to this and was not really angry, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart. He reluctantly smiled and said: "With the general here, how dare I steal the limelight?"
Lu Bu didn't take it seriously, but he was so excited about the upcoming fight. When a horn sounded, he was wearing iron armor and rolled down to the Liang people like a big boulder in the air. The Liang people in the front saw a group of nearly two feet high.
The black shadow pressed over, and everyone immediately realized that this must be Lu Bu!
They were well prepared for this, and took the initiative to open a passage, allowing the vanguard to fly in, while the cavalry behind them pulled ropes to trip their horses, and took turns firing their bows and crossbows, stabbing with long spears. Only about a hundred cavalry followed.
The rest of the rear troops were blocked by them from outside the camp. Wang Kuang led the veterans to wait in the rear formation. What they were waiting for was this moment. They drove their horses forward and entangled with Lu Bu and the others. This was a common tactic used by Liang people to defend the camp.
Let some of them rush in first, and then divide and strangle them to shock people's hearts. Xu Rong also relied on this to retreat safely when he formed an array on the Wanshui River.
However, it was Lu Bu who came at this time. He took the lead and swept the spear pole over. The rider in front was caught off guard and forcefully took the blow with his left arm. Although it was protected by armor and did not bleed, he felt that he could not use the strength. The knife in his hand
He also fell to the ground, and it was obvious that his bones were broken. The Liang people on the side were all amazed, but Lu Bu stopped there.
Dozens of knights came around, surrounding Lu Bu. The five knights in front took turns to attack, and the knights behind waited for opportunities to fire arrows. Lu Bu couldn't move at all. Even though his horsepower was far greater than the other knights, he could only move cautiously, left and right.
Of course, many of the hundreds of cavalry who followed him into the battle were also injured.
Wang Kuang was overjoyed when he saw this, and taunted him: "Even a dog dares to attack Nai Gong's camp, even if he doesn't know his own strength. I will kill you here today!"
Lu Bu sneered a few times. Although he could not enter, Liang Ren's repeated cold arrows could not break through the Mingguang Armor. There were five thousand soldiers behind him, how could the thousands in front of him be enough? But Wang Fang kept pulling back the soldiers.
From time to time, small teams joined the formation, and the two armies were in a stalemate for a while. As the Liang army was reorganized, some Liang cavalry actually rushed out from the gaps in the camp. This was all due to the lack of elites and experience under Lu Bu's command.
As a result, Lu Bu, who was surrounded, was still fighting hard, but most of the people behind him were a little unstable.
Fortunately, he still has Gao Shun, a rare soldier.
After Wang Fang finished reorganizing his army, he was extremely happy to see that his troops were engaged in a hard battle. He said to his eldest son Wang Wen: "I think our army's contribution to winning Lu Bu in this battle is the first!" After that, he rode up and led the entire army to attack.
. But at this time, a horn sound like a night owl suddenly came from the south, and they suddenly discovered that there was also a cavalry attack from the south, with horse hooves like thunder, galloping for about a quarter of an hour. The king was attacked on both sides, and temporarily changed position on the left wing.
It’s already too late.
Gao Shunshu's thirty riders were in front, roaring loudly, and rushed into the Liang Cavalry formation like wolves, and the knights behind him quickly followed up on flying horses.
After Gao Shun joined the battlefield, he defeated the Liang people's flanks with one blow, and the battle tilted towards Lu Bu. The Liang people around him fled to the north, but Lu Bu took advantage of the victory and pursued him, killing a dozen or so Liang cavalry who surrounded him.
He killed eight people, and then joined forces with Gao Shun. Under the combined attack of the two armies, they drove Wang Fang fifteen miles northward and captured nearly a thousand people.
Lu Bu originally planned to chase all the way to Jingshui and annihilate all of Wang Fang's tribe. But at this time, the beacon fire was lit again on the top of Gaoling's city. This time, yellow and white smoke was used. It was not a response as before, but a sign of distress in the city.
.Lu Bu slowed down, struggled internally, and chose to bring all the troops back to the city.
Not long after he returned to the city, he heard a noise in the east of the city. Looking east, he saw that a large army had arrived. They were stationed five miles east of the plateau. A large number of people were planning camps on the plain, and some people were busy moving people around.
There are people carrying baggage, some are clearing the forest land, and some are mobilizing troops in front to prevent the attack on the camp in the city.
Just as King Lu Bu was fighting in the west of the city, Li Jue's 30,000 Eastern Army also arrived.
