Although Liu Bei had a good idea and was quite effective the next day, the progress of the siege stopped at this point for the next five days. Although the Black Mountain Army had a large number of people, the casualties during the siege were too great. After a few days, they were damaged.
Thousands of people gathered together, and bloody arrowheads and rotten stumps were picked up from time to time in the military tent. Hissing wails and weak moans filled the ears of everyone. Even though Liu Bei's camp and Heishan camp were two miles apart, they could not
Peace of mind.
The drums in front of Jinyang City are still pounding. The drum skins have been replaced three times, and the drum beaters have been replaced by four shifts. Even so, the drum beaters are still exhausted mentally and physically. After a few days, they all look pale and cannot eat well.
, after walking a few steps, I felt like the world was spinning and I fell to the ground.
It's just that the Han army couldn't support it, and the Hu people on Jinyang City couldn't support it even more. The Han army could rotate under the city, but the Hu army, which was far smaller than the Han army, couldn't rest. In the past two days, Huyan Bu'an had previously
He was still able to resist the enemy, but after two days he felt completely confused and had no idea where he was. He only felt that his eyes were swollen and his head was dizzy, and he would fall over at any time. He could only take a brief nap when the Han army was changing shifts.<
/p>
Fortunately, a householder set up a large cauldron, poured cow's milk and goat's milk into the cauldron, and added antlers, astragalus, wolfberry and other medicinal materials, and continued to boil buttermilk day and night for the Hu people to drink. After drinking the buttermilk, the Huns
The defenders' blood surged up, their bodies were hot, and they regained their energy. The Han army continued to attack, but they were held by the defenders for another three days.
Of course, this can only temporarily suspend the current situation of the Hu people. Both sides know very well that as time goes by, the Han army will be able to break the city and defeat it sooner or later. However, now that the Xiongnu army has returned to help, the most lacking thing for the Han army is time. If they cannot break through quickly
The city was surrounded by Xiongnu, and the Han army was in danger of being wiped out.
So they made more efforts to attack the city. When the day attack failed, the Han army tried to attack at night. Gao Shuncheng Lian took advantage of the night to climb the city and once captured the gate tower. Huyan Yuledu poured cold oil down the ladder and burned the ladder.
Surrounding the gate tower, Liu Bei hurriedly let a dozen grain carts piled with grass and soaked in cold water before stopping under the gate tower. The Han troops jumped off the gate tower during the night attack, and were lucky enough to survive.
The ladder failed many times, and the Han army made more rams and carts in an attempt to break down the city gate. However, the Jinyang City Gate was made of iron, and the door latch weighed 800 kilograms. No matter how the rams rammed the gate, the huge three-foot-long iron gate remained
Standing still is just a waste of human and financial resources of the Han army.
In addition, there are other techniques to break the city, such as water and earth attacks, but they are all time-consuming and laborious. The time to break the city is several months, which is not advisable for Liu Bei. Liu Bei even did not hesitate to let Guan Yu capture a man on the city.
The Huns captured the prisoners and asked him how Xu Budan managed to break the city. The answer was that a hundred thousand troops surrounded him from all sides.
After being captured and beheaded, Jinyang City immediately surrendered.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others looked at each other, speechless.
Soon the siege time came to the seventh day, and Liu Bei had to painfully admit the fact: he could not capture Jinyang City before the main force of the Xiongnu arrived. Although he ordered the drums to be beaten in front of the city as usual, in private he
We had to discuss with Lu Bu, Yu Du Bairao and others on how to withdraw the troops.
"If we fight for another three days, we will be able to capture the city. How can we make people willing to withdraw now?" Lu Bu said angrily, slashing the ground with his sword.
"Now that the troops are withdrawing, how can we get the Jinyang wealth that Liu Xiaowei mentioned before the battle?" Yu Du remained silent, while Bai Quan frowned and asked frankly. The Black Mountain Army had no intention of participating in this battle, but the second commander was
Motivated by the wealth, they had just joined forces to encircle. Now the Montenegrin army suffered many casualties and got nothing except the cattle and sheep donated by Liu Bei. This made the two of them extremely unwilling.
Liu Bei first answered Bai Rao and said: "A man is true to his words. Although Liu Bei is not a man, he also knows that people cannot trust others without trust. You two have never met Liu Bei, but you are willing to fight with me in bloody battles. Liu Bei is extremely grateful. I would like to reward you two.
It's a matter of duty, but now that I'm leading my army out, the food, grass and baggage are a matter of life and death for my comrades, so I can't act rashly at this time. After this battle is over, after two months, I will reward you with thousands of gold."
After saying that, Liu Bei cut out the blood from his finger, took off a piece of iron from his armor, and wrote in his bloody hand: "In the fifth year of Zhongping, Liu Xuande of Zhuo County gave away a thousand pieces of gold to his colleague in Heishan." Then he handed it to Bai Rao, who returned the favor.
There was something to say. But Yu Feng stood sideways and said nothing, and Zhang Fei glared at Liu Bei from behind. He felt awe-struck, so he stopped his hand and said to Liu Bei: "I am also aware of Liu Bei's loyalty. Since
If Captain Liu says this, then we are willing to wait for Captain Liu for two months."
After saying that, he and Yu Du got up and left. After leaving the Han army's tent, the Han army flags were traveling further and further away. Bai Rao finally asked Yu Du: "Why didn't you say a word in the army just now?"
Yu Du looked gloomy and said to Bai Rao: "Just two hours ago, the handsome messenger sneaked into my tent."
Bai Rao was shocked. They went to Taiyuan to plunder. Although they were doing it privately, each branch of the Black Mountain Bandits always went their own way. If the imperial army had not pressed down on the border, the Black Mountain Bandits would have been destroyed. Even as a leader, Zhang Yan would not easily treat his subordinates.
Ordered. The meaning behind Zhang Yan’s letter at this time is really intriguing.
Before Bai Rao could continue to ask, Yu Du told Zhang Yan's letter in full: "The commander-in-chief said that the Xiongnu Chanyu Xubu is willing to donate ten thousand gold to our army. He hopes that our army will contact the barbarians in the city, defect in front of the battle, and defeat the Han army."
Surround them all and kill them all. After this is done, the Xiongnu will leave our army behind to build the city."
"..." Bai Rao was silent for a moment, then asked Yu Du: "What are you going to do?"
"Now that the official army is preparing to withdraw from the siege, it may be difficult to contact the barbarians in the city. If you want to make a counterattack, you must adjust the timing and location. In my opinion, it is better to wait for the Han army to advance in front, and we will follow behind to wait for the Han army.
When the army was crossing the bridge across Jinshui River, our army suddenly rose up..."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Rao punched Yu Du hard on the face. Yu Du was unprepared and took the punch forcefully. Bai Rao could become the commander of Heishan Qu, and his strength was naturally extraordinary. With one punch, Yu
Du was dizzy and dizzy, and it took him a long time to react. A chill flowed from the front of his nose, and nosebleeds dripped into the dust along his beard. When he covered his nose, he realized that even one of his front teeth was loose.
Bai Rao had already restrained his anger at this time and said to Du Zhengse: "Liu Xiaowei does everything personally and is considerate to the soldiers. He is a rare good official. He is never arrogant or contemptuous when discussing with us. Brother Guan Zhang
Brother and the soldiers share the joys and sorrows, and we are willing to brave the rain and charge forward during the war. Although we are rebelling and self-reliant, we cannot know right from wrong. It is enough not to attack Jinyang, but to ask for more money. How can we do a sneak attack from behind?
What a villain!"
Yu Du really didn't expect that Bai Rao would think like this. He was ashamed and angry in his heart. He covered his mouth and asked: "It is not my intention to attack the officers and soldiers from behind, but the commander's intention! What you said may be
Reply in front of the commander-in-chief?"
Speaking of Zhang Yan, Bai Rao was a little less courageous, but for some reason he felt a surge of spirit to support him and said: "What are you afraid of? If a man dies, he will die, and he must be upright! Since the commander-in-chief wants us and the officials
When the army fights, I can respond in vain. We can shoot the book at Liu Bei's army now, allow him to prepare for a day, and we will fight with him tomorrow in the wilderness of Jinyang!"
It was really an eye-opener for Yu Du, but he knew that he could not convince Bai Rao. He hesitated for a moment and could only lament: "If this is the case, then let's do it!"
Liu Bei was also eye-opening when he received the archery letter. He read the letter again and again, and couldn't help but sigh to his two sworn brothers: "Brother Bai is really a righteous man! I was blind, thinking that I would be better than a poisonous one if I had a city. Now, now
Only then did I realize that Brother Bai is so upright and frightening!"
He immediately wrote a reply: "I have heard that among the ancient sages, none could be more virtuous than Shun. Shun was a benevolent and righteous man. What is benevolence and righteousness? Universal love is called benevolence, and doing what is appropriate is righteousness. Brother, treat me with benevolence and righteousness. Brother, treat me with benevolence and righteousness.
Although the virtues are poor and the conduct is shallow, how can we meet each other with swords and swords? Now that all the armies are trapped, why should we force ourselves to fight and make mistakes? However, it is not the brother's high righteousness. Nine thousand soldiers are encircled in the Zhao Valley. I want to retaliate, and my brother should do it.
Take shelter in Longshan."
After shooting the reply into the Heishan camp, Liu Bei immediately summoned the entire army and said solemnly: "The situation is critical. Now that Heishan has broken up, our army has no hope of escaping eastward. We can only go west to Longshan and build a camp to trap it. Fortunately, the main force of the Xiongnu is going north and must be separated."
Only when our troops confront me can we encircle Zishi again. Although Zishi is a small city, Yang Hui is not a weak general. As long as he holds on for half a month, Ting Jian will be able to personally lead the coalition forces and defeat the Hulu! At this time of crisis and embarrassment, there is still hope.
Please help me!"
He hastily set up a monument for the Han soldiers who died here, and the whole army immediately set off. All the heavy equipment and equipment that were difficult to carry were thrown away. Each person carried enough dry food for ten days, and the remaining food and grass were thrown in.
One battalion is for use by the Montenegrin Army.
When we arrived in front of Longshan Mountain, the Luliang Mountains seemed to be rising up from the ground, and from the clouds where the destination was unknown, a ridge flew like a colorful train, with four streams running between each other and jumping between the rocks, popping out dazzling silver beads.
Surrounded by silver beads, the top of the mountain is like a broad crown, and the road to the top is vaguely visible, which is Longshan.
The Dongping Army marched across Qingxu, and everyone was equipped with a horse. However, Longshan was so steep that it was difficult for the horses to travel with them. Horses were men's companions and dreams, but now they were reluctant to kill them for food, so they had to temporarily release them. Following Liu Bei's
This horse was Zi Yunfei given to him by Zhang Shiping and had been with him for seven years. Liu Bei took off the saddle and stroked the satin-like mane of his beloved horse. He couldn't help but sigh and said: "My horse, without me today, can you become famous?"
Ji?"
Zi Yunfei was freed for a moment, freed from the reins. He couldn't help but neigh with excitement, shaking his hair back and forth. He was about to turn around and gallop, but stopped and returned. He stroked Liu Bei's iron armor with his horse's head and whimpered softly.
As the sun set, the other Han soldiers were all sentimental when they saw this. They each squatted among the rocks and said goodbye to their beloved horses. Suddenly, I don’t know who sang the folk song of Youyan, but everyone shared the same emotions and sang together.
Tao:
"The trees on the top of the mountains are tall and the leaves fall away in the wind.
After traveling thousands of miles, why should we return to our old place!"
The grass under Longshan is green, and the horses gallop like the sun rising above the clouds.
