Chapter 27 The real person of Chifu is in the right place
It was said that he would rest until dawn, but Sun Jian made a huge mistake, that is, dawn came sooner than he thought!
The clouds on the rainy night gave Sun Wentai an illusion, making him think that there was still a long time before dawn, enough for his troops to get a sufficient rest. But in fact, it was almost midnight when he reached the small town of Luju, and then set off again.
When we raid again, time has already slipped away in the exhilarating victory, and the sunrise in summer is the earliest in the year.
On the other side, the sun is eternal, and the clouds that gradually stop raining cannot block all the light. So soon, as the sun rises behind the clouds, the originally dark battlefield immediately begins to become a little blurry, and then
Become clear.
But at the same time, Sun Wentai's troops were really tired. Although the ground was wet and the camp was messy, many soldiers became extremely sleepy as soon as they sat down. Some of them even died suddenly in their sleep when they had been fighting with bare swords without any harm.
This also caused Sun Jian's generals to panic for a moment.
Logically speaking, this is exactly what Lu Bu said before, the best time to lead two or three thousand people to stand out and turn defeat into victory.
However, there will always be problems on the battlefield. In the military camp below the city, which has become a quagmire, Sun Jianjun can put the entire army into danger because of the misjudgment of the commander. However, on the city, things are even more straightforward and leave people speechless - there is internal strife between Cai Mao and Liu Pan.
.
It may be an exaggeration to say that it is internal strife, but considering the current situation and the serious consequences that may occur, it would be deceiving to say that it is not internal strife.
Needless to say, there is no need to elaborate on the deep-seated conflicts between Cai Mao and Liu Pan. No one can avoid the regional conflicts between the local big families and the cronies of foreign rulers these days... Gongsun Xun has just established a governance model with Hebei as the focus, so he pulls the lever for match selection.
Zi and Lu Fan were fighting against each other, not just because of his merits and qualifications; as for Yuan Shao's defeat, it was partly directly attributed to this issue; then Liu Biao, a party boss who was born in Shanyang, Yanzhou, came to Jianghan
Although everyone would be closely united in order to survive in the first place, how could everyone down from Liu Biao really be as close as one family after leaving Liu Biao?
What's more, Liu Biao has been in Jingzhou for four years, and the period of mutual tolerance for the country has long passed.
It goes without saying that the direct conflict between the two people seems to go without saying... In the troubled times, the military power was the first. Cai Mao initially served as the prefect of Jiangxia, and later gave it to Huang Zu to serve as the prefect of Nanjun where Xiangyang is located. Gongsun Xun set up the post of military advisor.
Many places followed suit, so Cai Degui was worshiped by Liu Biao as the military advisor, and he was actually the military director of Jingzhou and Liu Biao's second deputy. However, others were afraid of Cai Mao, but Liu Pan was not. He was Liu Biao's nephew.
He is Liu Jingsheng's true confidant in the army, otherwise he would not have been allowed to lead the army at the beginning of this battle. Such a person is probably the only person in the Jingzhou army who can compete with Cai Mao and Huang Zu, who divided Jiangxia.
.
As for today's trigger, I have to blame Lu Bu... This fellow suggested that Cai Mao close the city gates, expel the defeated troops and flee around the city. The logic was right, but Liu Pan, Huang Zhong and others fled back in embarrassment.
He was also refused entry, so he could only go all the way from the East City to the West City in embarrassment, and then he called the West Gate guard whom he knew, and then opened the city gate and led his followers into the city!
It's hard to say who is right and who is wrong... Cai Mao is of course righteous. He is not afraid of this matter being mentioned in the history books. He may even be said to have strict laws. But Liu Pan almost lost his life outside the city. As a direct victim, should he have to do it?
Did he praise Cai Mao for his strict laws?!
For a while, the two of them were noisy and noisy, but they both had subordinates and followers. Who would want to do that?
The generals below were also divided into two. The people on the city disliked the defeat and incompetence of the people below the city. The people below the city angrily sat on the city and enjoyed the city. Not only did they refuse to save them, but they refused to accept the battle... In the end, Lu Bu persuaded and persuaded with all his heart.
After persuading the sun to come out, the two sides finally realized that there was still an eyeing Sun Jian outside the city. For the sake of Sun Laohu and Lu Laohu, they did not fight each other. Instead, one occupied the East City and the South City, and the other occupied the West City and the North City.
, each went on defense.
But in this way, Lu Bu's attack plan was completely in vain... After the defeat, half of the energetic soldiers and horses in the city were taken away by the two Jingzhou bosses, for fear of leaving one more for the other side, all of them were at the top of the city.
The station was stable, and all that was left idle in the city was a bunch of broken troops, all covered in blood, covered in mud, and without even armor. How could there be a fresh and recuperated army suddenly handed over to Lu Bu to lead?
What about protruding?
"Marquis Wen, what can we do now?" Cai Mao waited for Liu Pan to leave for a long time before he remembered the attack, and he couldn't help but say a little bit. "Liu Pan is so hateful. He was in vain after losing the camp and wasting the opportunity to fight!"
Lu Bu was already speechless, cursing secretly in his heart, and even regretted not hiding his eight hundred cavalry in the city. But now he was alone here, what else could he do?
"Don't worry, Lord Cai. It doesn't matter." Lu Bu kept smiling, but he turned to the east of the city where the former Jingzhou Army camp was captured by Sun Jian's army, and gave casual instructions. "As of now, although our army can no longer
We went out of the city to counterattack, but you can see that Sun Jian's soldiers are all exhausted to the extreme. Although they have won a great victory, what can they do now?"
"That's right." Under the sunlight that shone slightly through the gaps in the clouds after the rain, Cai Mao squinted his eyes and looked down at the city. He completely lost the aggressive posture that he had shown when he wanted to fight with Liu Pan in the early morning. The Confucian General's style was fully displayed, but he suddenly frowned.
Eyebrow. "But, what if the other party takes advantage of the victory and attacks the city by force?"
"Then there is no need to organize fresh troops to attack." Lu Bu also looked at the city with squinted eyes. "Just take advantage of the situation and counterattack on the city wall to deal with this beast!"
It turned out that the long delay on the city wall allowed Sun Wentai's troops to survive the weakest period. They relied on the capture, the sunshine after the rain, the excitement after the victory, and of course the necessary food.
, drink water, get enough sleep, and finally get back on my feet.
Looking from the top of the city, what made Lu Bu and Cai Mao a little incomprehensible but also angry was that someone was clearly organizing and instigating a death squad... These men in plain clothes were looking through the armor and weapons during the seizure.
, and then they all put on their armor and changed their swords! At the same time, there were a large number of soldiers looking through bows, crossbows, arrows and other items and distributing them together.
It was obvious that they wanted to continue fighting, and if they were to fight at this time, what else could they do except try to climb the city? But if they tried to climb the city, they would inevitably underestimate Cai Hao and others.
Of course, this is the only confidence Cai Mao and others have after their defeat... Last night's miserable defeat was due to the morale of the army being depressed, heavy casualties, and organizational chaos. It also strategically cut off the possibility of Liu Biao intervening in the Nanyang Battle. Only
After fortifying the city, it is easy to show off one's courage. Deng County has been the ancient city of Mian, Jiuda City, and the gateway to Xiangyang. The city walls may not be tall, but they are quite strong. In addition, after all, they survived the most chaotic night. At this time, Sun Jian still wanted to
It would be infuriating to push one's limits too far.
"Let Liu Pan defend the north side. There may be an attack direction there." Cai Mao saw Sun Jian's army under the city gradually regaining momentum, organizing the camp, equipping armor and swords, and directly found ropes, grappling hooks, and even some ladders.
However, he no longer doubted Sun Jianjun's intention to attack, but he was still angry. "Ask him again, if he hadn't left so many military supplies, how could Sun Wentai have the courage to attack the city again?"
The last sentence is a conflict of emotions. In such a defeat, no one can find anyone, how can Liu Pan be allowed to destroy military resources?
However, before the ordered officer could leave in embarrassment, an officer came from the north city first to deliver the order for Liu Pan. It was said that General Liu was worried that Military Advisor Cai had never been in a large formation, so he specially reminded him.
He asked Military Advisor Cai to carefully defend and listen to Marquis Lu Wen's advice, so as not to be defeated in one blow and delay the overall situation. Cai Mao was immediately furious!
The enemy was in front of him, and the whole army had just been defeated. The two of them were still fighting among themselves. Lu Bu watched with cold eyes and couldn't help but feel half angry and half funny... But he thought about what he had betrayed to Jia Xu, and also thought about that day.
Those bad things in Dong Zhuo's camp, as well as the matter of hiding the cavalry early today, are not easy to laugh at.
In the morning, as the sun first appeared, the fighting suddenly started again!
After the great victory, Sun Jian's troops were so morale-stricken and fearless of death that they actually tried to climb the city directly from the junction of the east and north of the city... I don't know if he noticed the distinct defensive sequence on the city tower.
. But it doesn’t matter. After all, the people on the city are trying to defend themselves after a big defeat, so they can’t help but prepare themselves immediately.
First, there was a rain of arrows to suppress the troops. Thousands of Sun Jian's troops rushed to the East City regardless of the serious exchange ratio. The people below the North City concentrated rain of arrows on the city in an attempt to suppress the troops on the city. The troops on the city did not dare to neglect and immediately
They tried to fight back, but the safe space on the city wall was limited, so they showed a slight weakness.
Amidst the flying arrows, ditches, ropes, and simple ladders were laid out near the northeast corner of Deng County.
There is no such thing as calmness in war. Although in theory, ditches and ropes can be cut with a single blow of the sword, and long ladders can be pushed open with all their strength... In fact, carrying a captured shield and wrapping a captured armor
Most of those who dared to die in Sun Jian's army just fell off the city wall without fighting, and it was difficult to get up again... But on the other side, under long-range suppression, sometimes the Jingzhou army may not be able to successfully deal with it so easily when they are in a hurry.
these things.
Especially the hook rope, compared with the ladder that looks more stable, it is actually more difficult to handle, because once the hook rope hooks the brick joint on the city head, the rope is tight, and it may not be cut just right. If you want to handle it perfectly
, someone needs to take the initiative to stick their head out from the top of the city wall and apply force properly from the outside of the city wall to cut the suspension rope.
But this is too dangerous!
Of course, from the perspective of the siege party, they are still more willing to climb the ladder, because while climbing the ladder, they can hold up a shield to protect their heads, and in the process of climbing up the city with a rope, they will inevitably become a target for the side defenders... Psychological
Factors need to be considered.
Because the simple and extremely brutal siege battle broke out so suddenly, life was completely consumable in this process, but it was difficult to show the value of the consumable... A large number of Sun Jian's soldiers were killed and injured, and a few of the defenders were also killed.
The soldiers died from the suppression of arrows under the city. Some even took advantage of the chaos to climb up the city, but quickly fell down under the siege... In the final analysis, it is still the same sentence, the people on the city are defeated troops, and they lack the momentum in their bones.
It's good to have a scattered structure, but with Sun Jian's army's current siege conditions, it would be ridiculous to try to siege the city by force.
The battle did not go beyond expectations. Lu Bu intervened in the command and did not take part in it himself out of boredom. He just watched the battle side by side with Cai Hao on the east gate tower... After watching for a long time, he became more and more bored.
"There is no point in attacking the city like this. It is just a waste of soldiers' lives." Lu Bu sighed. "Sun Wentai is probably just too greedy and wants to test the morale of the city. If there is no result, I think this will be the end of it."
"Wen Hou Rennian!" Cai Mao agreed sincerely. "There is no reason for Sun Wentai to continue attacking."
But... So...but, at this moment, suddenly there was a burst of cheers from the city, and then within sight of Lu Bu and Cai Mao, there was actually a majestic general wearing armor and a red cap, leading the way among the crowd.
A team of capable soldiers rushed to the city!
Lu Bu and Cai Mao looked at each other in shock, neither of them could believe their eyes... Although they had never met Sun Jian directly, Sun Wentai's reputation as a red gauze man had spread all over the world since he conquered the Yangzhou rebellion!
Under this current situation, Sun Jian actually wants to climb the city himself?
"The whole army is concentrated there and must be stopped!"
In disbelief, Cai Hao almost felt chills all over his body, and then he gave the order with all his strength.
After all, the opponent is a recognized world-famous general, the Jiangdong Tiger who has been rampant in Yangzhou since before the Yellow Turban Rebellion. During the crusade against the Yellow Turban, he was even praised as being unstoppable, and General Wei would praise him for his bravery and bravery.
Later, when he was fighting against Dong, he pushed forward hard and was not discouraged by defeat. As a result, he fought repeatedly and advanced alone with Cao Liu. Now he has occupied the hinterland of the Central Plains like a tiger, and he is equal to Cao Liu in the world.
hero!
Who dares to despise such a person?
Even if someone dares to look down upon him, it will not be the turn of a group of defeated generals in this city!
Not only was Cai Mao's east city dispatching troops and generals to stop him, but the north city was also vibrating and making strict arrangements... In other words, Sun Wentai alone immediately changed the battlefield pattern and atmosphere!
Different from Cai Mao's nervousness, Lu Bu squinted his eyes and stared at the man in red turban. He saw that the man really came directly to the scene under the cover of arrows and amid the cheers of the morale-boosted soldiers behind him.
Under the city, and began to climb up by hanging rope, but suddenly turned back:
"Commander Cai!"
"Marquis Wen, please speak!" Cai Mao, sweating profusely, replied quickly.
"My bow is damp, do you have any stiff bows in your bodyguard?!" Lu Bu asked sternly, his previous casual attitude no longer present.
Cai Mao thought of the various achievements of the people before him, and without hesitation, he directly grabbed a bow from a trusted guard behind him and handed it to the opponent, and then offered it with arrows.
Lu Bu didn't say anything, he just bent his bow and nocked an arrow. After taking aim for a moment, he immediately retracted his bow and walked quickly along the city wall. At the same time, the man in red robe was also trying his best to climb up the rope.
When he was a full 1,780 steps away from the opponent, Lu Bu suddenly stopped, then raised his bow and aimed at the red-banded general.
"Can Marquis Wen hit the target at such a distance?" Cai Hao knew he shouldn't ask at this time, but he still couldn't hold back. "And the suspension rope keeps shaking like this. Isn't this something you can do with your archery skills?"
"Shut up!" Lu Bu stood sideways behind a battlement, shielded by a large shield, and waited with his bow drawn, simply and swiftly.
Cai Mao immediately shut up, but as Lu Bu said nothing, he also woke up... The rope was shaking for no reason, and with this distance, although he didn't dare to hit the target, he waited until the opponent climbed to the highest point to climb the city and tried to gain a foothold.
At this time, it is an excellent sniping moment.
The people in red hats climbed higher and higher, and the crossbowmen below the city fired their arrows more and more urgently, almost to the point where the people on the top of the city couldn't lift their heads. The troops who hurriedly came to support from the city wall rarely suffered heavy casualties... and
At the same time, behind the battlements and shields hidden by Lu Bu and Cai Mao, they held their breath even more.
Finally, as a burst of cheers shook the city and outside, the men in red robes grabbed the battlements and tried to leap up the city wall.
But at this moment, two arrows flew from the east and north like meteors, hitting the red head general's left and right cheeks accurately! The latter immediately lost strength and fell directly from the top of the city, heavily.
Fell to the ground.
The cheers from below the city suddenly stopped and were replaced by cheers from the top of the city.
Unlike Cai Mao beside him who was staring at the soldiers under the city who were trying hard to cover the bodies of the people rescuing the red-headed man, out of instinct as a shooter, Lu Bu couldn't help but look to the north first. They were nearly three hundred steps apart. He and the man beside Liu Pan
The lieutenant, Huang Zhong, faced each other from a distance, and then each drew back his bow!
Looking back, the city was really panicked for a moment. The general was hit by two arrows in the cheek at the same time and fell off the city. He was almost certain to die... However, whether it was Lu Bu or Cai Mao, including Liu Pan and Huang who were at the north wall,
Zhongque all felt that something was wrong, and then became frightened.
It turns out that the reaction of Sun Jianjun's troops was too simple... If Sun Wentai had died, they would have been shaken by this time. However, at this time, only the troops were in panic, and more people were just shouting and cursing under the city, and even worse.
, as a disheveled general stepped forward with a sword, Sun Jian's army under the city actually continued to suppress it remotely, while many soldiers who had gritted their teeth before simply continued to try to climb the city!
"Sun Jian is shameless!" Cai Mao suddenly woke up, but couldn't help but yelled. "He actually let people wear his red turban to deceive us. How can he be qualified to be called a famous general in the world?!"
"Is this the time to think about this?" Lu Bu finally lost his composure and became furious. "Sun Wentai has always ignored life and death and marched forward in the face of battle. Is this false? Otherwise, why would we come up and believe what we just said?
Who is he?! At this time, the other side was victorious. After a great victory, when he was trying to attack the city, he asked people to pretend that he was climbing the city, so he himself must be advancing! Where is he?"
Cai Mao was half stunned, half panicked: "Where is he?!"
Before they finished speaking, there was a sudden noise in the city. Cai and Lu turned around and saw that the city was in chaos. The west side of the city, which was supposed to be the safest, was on fire!
"Sun Wentai is in the city?" Cai Mao was stunned.
"Sun Jian of Wu Commandery is here!" As if replying to Cai Mao, an unforgettable sound suddenly sounded out from the noise in the city and west of the city, just like "Kill Lu Bu" last night!
"Sun Jian is here!" The main force of Sun Jian's army below the city also shouted in response.
Immediately, countless Sun Jian's soldiers and horses turned like a tide outside the city, shouting and cheering vigorously, while struggling to circle from the north to the west of the city, preparing to enter the city! But everyone on the city was already at a loss, and there was no way to deal with it.
"Liu Pan mistaken me!" Cai Mao on the city wall was flustered for a long time. Although he still didn't know how to respond, he finally figured out Sun Jian's tactics. This must be Sun Jian personally leading his troops to follow Liu Pan in the night disguised as a defeated army.
In the city, and then stay here.
But even if he understood clearly, he still didn't know how to deal with it... Of course, when the battle situation reached this point, the morale of his own soldiers was completely lost, and the morale of the other side was greatly boosted. Even the gods could not save him, so I couldn't blame him.
On the other side, seeing the chaos in the city, the Jingzhou troops on the city were at a loss. Lu Bu wanted to go directly to the city to get his Luma and escape alone, but he suddenly realized that the more powerful Sun Wentai became, the more likely he would be to escape.
Instead, he had to rely more on Cai Mao, so he had no choice but to go to the city again.
"Cai Jun, how is your water quality?" As soon as Lu Bufu arrived at the city, Cai Mao came to his senses and complained about Liu Pan, but he simply asked coldly.
"What do you mean?" Cai Hao was still flustered.
"Sun Wentai is a superior player in this battle. Nothing can be done. The strength of one person among thousands of armies is ridiculous... But with my bravery, it is still feasible to ensure that you escape from the south gate." Lu Bu remained unhurried. "Only
There is Mianshui River between Dudeng County and Xiangyang. If the pursuers are close, we will inevitably have to wade through the water!"
"I'm a local, and I'm accustomed to water!" Cai Hao woke up and quickly stepped forward to hold the opponent's arm. "If I can escape this time, I will never let Brother Lu down!"
"Let's go!" Lu Bu sighed, dragged Cai Hao and went down to the city. Cai Hao's personal guards around him were no longer at a loss, but followed him one after another.
However, in this way, the county seat of Deng County fell faster.
In the afternoon, Sun Wentai won a complete victory. He occupied all of Deng County, north of Mianshui River, and west of Feishui River. However, the army was too exhausted to pursue and capture after the war, expand the victory, and let the city
The four generals fled one after another, but Jiang Qin, wearing a red headband and pretending to be Sun Jian, climbed the city, but died unexpectedly, which made Sun Wentai even more resentful!
————I am a Siberian tiger and I cannot beat the dividing line between South China tigers in South China————
"He was sent to Wuguan with the seal of the Nanyang Governor...Liu Biao was polite, but he was worried about his reputation as a man and not very trustworthy. When Sun Jian invaded the Central Plains, Jianghan was like a tiger, so he drove his army forward for use. After arriving in Deng County for a few days, not long after,
Sun Jian took advantage of the rain to cross the Feishui River and defeated the troops in the city. He pretended to be a rout and entered the city at noon. At noon, the city was in chaos and Deng County was also in mourning. When Bu was alone, he rescued Cai Maoqian and escaped from the south city to pursue the troops.
In a hurry, Mao lost his horse and was hit by an arrow, and blood flowed like a drop of blood. The name of the horse he was riding was Lu. It was also a famous horse given to him by Xi Xun. It was indeed majestic, so he took the Mao across the horse and rode away with Lu. They reached Mianshui River.
, the pursuers used Bu to kill Jiang Qin, a famous general under Jian's command, but they continued to pursue him, and they were equipped with bows and crossbows. Bu had no choice but to jump on his horse and walk into the water, but he couldn't get out. Bu was in great distress, so he passed out with a turtle, put him in the water, and dragged him
But on the way, Lu Shenjun, carrying one person and dragging another person, was able to cross the river." - "Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty". Wang Can
