Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 275

With Fancheng in hand, there is naturally no need for too many soldiers and horses left behind in Wancheng.

Tong Guan then ordered a confidant, Marquis Yu, to lead 3000 people to guard, and transferred Zhou Xin, the former governor of Songzhou, and more than Song troops rescued earlier, to Fancheng.

On June , the Song army gathered more than people, crossed the Han River in mighty force, and stormed Xiangyang.

The thieves guarding the city knew that the army had been defeated, and they were panic-stricken. There were sneakers every night, and the guards couldn't catch them all.

On the morning of the fourth day, Han Shizhong personally held the sword and shield, first climbed and broke the city, and pulled it out in one fell swoop.

Of the rebel soldiers in Xiangyang City, more than died in battle, and more than surrendered.

Xiangyang, the city of Hunan in the South Pole and Guanluo in the north, is the throat of Chu and Shu. It has been contested by military strategists since ancient times. When Xiangyang is located, Nanfeng, Jingnan, and Yun'an are all under the leadership of the Song army. Time, the group of thieves was shocked.

Wang Qing never expected that Duan Er, a strong soldier, would lose Xiangfan so quickly. He could only hate to point his finger at the sky, and scolded Duan Er. Qing sent troops to rescue them, but was robbed by Wang Qing, and the husband and wife fought violently. Wang Qing's fighting power dropped a lot because of his indulgence in drinking and sex.

Later, it was "Mr. Jinjian" Li Zhu who offered advice and mobilized two armies to jointly attack Xiangyang. All the way started from Fangzhou, and the governor Du Po (phonetics) led troops to fight from west to east; all the way started from Jingnan Li Huai, the nephew of Li Zhu and envoy of Xuanfu, led the seven generals and raised Jingnan soldiers to fight from south to north, vowing to recapture Xiangyang.

He also sent a flying horse to send a message to Duan Wu, urging him to break through Xijing quickly and threaten Bianliang.

On Tong Guan's side, of course, he didn't know the Huaixi Army's plans, so after a few days of rest, he dispatched Dengzhou Metropolitan Wang Yi as the vanguard, and led 50,000 people as the Chinese army to attack Fangzhou, hoping to destroy the enemy's lair in one fell swoop.

In his opinion, the king should be captured first when the thief is captured, and as long as Wang Qing, the chief culprit, is captured, other states and counties will naturally decide.

Fangzhou is the ancient Fangling. During the Three Kingdoms period, Meng Da occupied the three prefectures of Shangyong, that is, this place.

It borders Hanzhong in the west and Xiangfan in the east, and is surrounded by Qinling Mountains, Wudang Mountains, Bashan Mountains, and Wushan Mountains on all sides.

Although the water route was relatively smooth, Tong Guan did not have a navy at first, and it was inconvenient to cross from the lower reaches to the upper reaches, so he still traveled by land.

This road is inlaid between the Wanshan Mountain and the Han River, with towering mountains on one side and wide clear water on the other, but the road itself is very narrow. Less than two days after the Song army set off, it collided with the Du Po army who came along this road. one is right.

After a chaotic battle between the two armies, Du Po, the thief general, used a snake spear with a length of eight feet, and his horses were invincible. All the way to kill.

It's a pity that the mountain road is narrow and there is no place to hide. Before the Chinese army's formation was launched, it was crushed by the defeated former army.

In this battle, the Song army lost 6000 people. Tong Guan left dead bodies all over the mountains and fields, and hurriedly retreated to Xiangyang to rectify the city defenses until the bandits came to fight.

In fact, in terms of Xiangyang's superior shape, it is really rare in the world, and it is naturally a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The mighty Han River turns a big bend around Xiangyang. The north, east, and south sides of the city are surrounded by the Han River, and the west is surrounded by mountains. In the shape of an arrow, the tip of the arrow points to Xiangyang.

Therefore, there are only two land roads leading to Xiangyang, which can be regarded as the two sides of the arrow: one is between Wanshan and Hanshui, the land of the left-linked Shangyong, and the other is between Xianshan and Hanshui, leading to Jingxiang In the past, Sun Jian, the fierce tiger from the east of the Yangtze River attacked Xiangyang, and was killed by Huang Zu's random arrows under Mount Xian.

But Du Po, after killing the Song army, did not fight out from the small road between the mountains and rivers as Tong Guan thought.Instead, he led his troops across Wanshan Mountain, passed through Longzhong, bypassed Xianshan Mountain, joined Li Huaijun who had been killed from Jingnan, and set up a company camp on the open tidal flats in the southeast of the city.

After the two armies and horses in Huaixi joined forces, their morale was greatly boosted. Tong Guan wanted to rob the camp at night, but the bandits were heavily defended and had to return without success.

The next day, the rebel soldiers came out of the camp and formed a formation at the foot of the city. Several generals showed off their might in front of the formation, galloping back and forth, saying that only the children would go out of the city for a decisive battle.

Tong Guan saw it from the top of the city, and said with a sneer, "a bunch of stupid thieves, the art of war says: ten are to surround them; looking at the number now, it is only five or sixty thousand, not as many as my commander. Besides, my commander has a strong city to defend against." By the way, he is brave and brave, what can he do to me?"

Wang Ting frowned at the side and said: "The Prime Minister's words, although very kind, but we are here to suppress the bandits, if we stay here for a long time with the bandits, and the rest of the bandits attack the city and plunder everywhere, will there be no objection from the court?"

Tong Guan's expression darkened when he heard this, and he said, "If you say that, you must have a good strategy."

Wang Ting thought for a while, and said: "In the opinion of the last general, we still have to meet him for a few battles, wait for an opportunity, and wipe out this group of thieves, then the Huaixi thieves will hardly have the strength to support them again."

Tong Guan nodded and said: "In that case, you can lead the people from the headquarters to meet him for a while."

Hearing this, Wang Ting smiled wryly, then stretched out his fingers and said, "Please look, Privy Councilor, the two thieve generals, Piaoyu and Fengtai, who were defeated in Fancheng, were among them. Help."

Tong Guan said: "It's not just these two, the one who killed Wang Yi with the snake spear is also a brave general...Wu Zhi, your lieutenants are all very good at fighting, and they can stand up for Wang Yi."

Wang Ting was overjoyed, clasped his fists and said, "If I get the help of General Wu, I will have no worries."

Lao Cao replied with a smile: "They all contribute to the country, and there is no distinction between them."

At present, several people put on their clothes, led a thousand troops, opened the gate of the city, and formed a formation below the city.

When the thief general Du Po saw the Song army coming out of the city, he rode his horse to the front of the formation and shouted: "I am the governor of the king of Chu, 'Sai Zhang Fei' Du Po, if there are any brave soldiers in the Song army, come and fight!"

Cao Cao looked at this man, black helmet, black armor, black horse, bearded face, snake spear in hand, gasped, and told everyone: "This man is really extraordinary, we must deal with it carefully."

Lu Junyi laughed and said: "My little brother wants him to be extraordinary, otherwise what's the fun in killing him?"

Immediately, he patted his horse and rushed out, shouting: "Do you recognize Lu Junyi, the jade unicorn?"

Du Po had actually heard of his name before, and said with a sneer, "You are a rich man. You think you spend money to make people brag about your fame. How do you know how to fight? Since you don't want to be rich, but you come here to die, you will be fulfilled." Let's go!"

Lu Junyi was furious when he heard this, he raised two spears and spears at the same time, and immediately killed them in one place.

These two people fought brilliantly, the two of them—

One is a jade unicorn born with auspicious beasts, and a white horse with a steel spear and armor shining in silver; it is as fast as a gust of wind and slow as a willow, scattered like stars and dense like scales.

One is Sai Zhang Fei, a fierce general in the world, with a black armored snake spear and a gray face;

One has a peerless and shocking skill, and the wind of the gun is like a crane; there is no opponent in the rivers and lakes, and no one can stand on the battlefield of lore.

One is that warriors sharpen their knives with a high murderous spirit, and their bones are as hard as gold and iron; but they are born proud with boldness, and they are even more arrogant if they don't believe in princes.

These two, a hero who has been in the army, and a hero who lives in the grass, have fought for ten or twenty times, and they both see that the other party is by no means ordinary, and the more they fight, the more they fight. There were more than a hundred thousand people in the city, and all of them stared straight and widened their mouths, just staring blankly.

After another ten or twenty rounds of fighting, a general among the thieves became angry. This man was nine feet long and short, with a red face and a scorched yellow beard. He had a curly black horse under his crotch. Armor, holding a piece of water-smelted steel in each hand, the left hand weighs fifteen catties, and the right hand weighs sixteen catties. Wow, he shouted: "This jade unicorn is a luxury! I just don't believe that Song Jun has extravagances besides him." , if there is any, come out and fight with you Master Yuan!"

While speaking, he slapped his crotch and dismounted the horse, and the horse rushed onto the battlefield like a cloud of black smoke.

There are different teachings: don't praise Hebei, Shandong and Han, you must see Jiangnan, Huai and Youxiong.Yuan Duzhen fought bravely, and Mr. Jin Jianzhan Hanfeng.
