Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 302

The sun has not risen in the east, and the sky is getting white.

A group of Huaixi thieves who yelled "eat soup cakes" ignited their last frenzy and charged at the bewildered Jinzhong army.

There were also many Huaixi men who had just woken up from their sleep when they could hear all the veterans shouting excitedly outside: "Kill the Jin thieves, kill the Jin thieves, kill all the Jin thieves and eat soup cakes!"

The head still doesn't understand what's going on, the body has been summoned by the local accent and the soup cake, subconsciously raises the weapon, and follows the flow of people to kill the general.

In Xijing City, although the Jinzhong army was larger in number, they couldn't hold back the opponent's ruthless attack first. Every stronghold and garrison was rushed by the Huaixi army, and it was in chaos in an instant.

Many Jinzhong soldiers were sleepy, and they were overwhelmed by the crowd before they even raised their swords and guns—just like a swarm of locusts covering the sky and sweeping through the lush crops, leaving nothing but mess.

The two armies fought in the city upside down. After all, the Huaixi army had been stationed for a long time and was familiar with the terrain, so they gradually divided into several teams and attacked the Jinzhong army's garrison respectively.

Cao Cao also divided the officers and soldiers into several groups, one for assisting, and the other temporarily serving as the law enforcement team. Anyone who took the opportunity to attack merchants and others would be sent to Huaixi without any points, and would be killed without mercy.

But it is said that Niu Wenzhong, the general of the Jinzhong Army, was sleeping soundly with his arms around the oiran lady in Xijing. Suddenly he heard the sound of killing all over the city, and he was startled.

I saw the Huaixi army pouring into the courtyard where he lived. While fighting the Huaixi bandits, his soldiers shouted in disorder: "It's terrible, all the gangsters in Huaixi have rebelled."

Huaixi group of thieves shouted and cursed after hearing this: "You are the anti-thief, I wait for the hero of Huaixi, and I am ordered to kill the thieves..."

Niu Wenzhong's mind was buzzing, and he didn't know who turned against whom for a while, but fortunately, his instinct was still there, he quickly pulled out his sword, rushed forward and killed several enemies in a row, and managed to hold the courtyard without losing it. As soon as the smell was strong, my mind gradually became clear: Forget it, it must be Duan Wu, who was so frightened that he opened the city gate and surrendered to the Song army. Didn't this cowardly bird hurt me.

Just when he was complaining about suffering, he suddenly saw that his subordinate Xiong Weiyu Yulin put on his helmet and put on his armor. He brought a side general Sang Ying and led hundreds of people to kill him.

Yu Yulin rode his horse into the enemy group and stabbed wildly with his spear. The Huaixi army had no generals to resist, and they all fell to the ground.

After killing the Huaixi army, Yu Yulin hurriedly shouted: "Brother Niu, this city can't be defended anymore, follow me and kill it."

Niu Wenzhong regained his composure, quickly found his three-pointed double-edged sword, mounted his horse, gathered his own soldiers along the road, and followed Yu Yulin to fight out from the east gate.

The rest of the generals, Cao Hong, Shi Xun, and He Ren, also saw that there was nothing to be done, and each led their men to flee for their lives outside the city...

This battle started in the early morning and lasted until the end of the day. The streets of the city were covered with streams of blood, and many important streets were piled up with corpses. The people in the city closed their doors and closed their houses, hiding under their beds and shivering. I dare not step out half a step.

Cao Cao sent people to count the casualties. The Huaixi Army had 5000 people, more than 30,000 people died in battle, and countless wounded; Injured, the rest rushed out of the city and fled for their lives.

As for the officers and soldiers, there were only two or three hundred casualties.

Cao Cao occupied the mansion. On the one hand, he ordered people to post safety notices everywhere, and invited the doctor to take care of the wounded soldiers. On the other hand, he ordered Tong Guan to report victory. More than a thousand people were sent to the barracks.

Du Yu and Yuan Lang are happy to repay their merits: Zhu Jing's ax splits Cao Hong, Liu Yuan picks Shi Xun, and the Teng brothers capture "Iron Dragonfly" Niu Wenzhong, Xiong Weiyu Yulin, and Sang Ying, but it is Yuan Lang and his team kill.

He Ren, the general of the thief, led more than a thousand people to rush from left to right, and rushed out of the east gate in a panic. Just in time, Tong Guan led an army towards Xijing.

Unexpectedly, although Tong Guan had many troops, they were killed earlier in the morning. The morale of the army was at the bottom. There were tens of thousands of troops. Seeing Heren's "incomparably fierce" attack, he was about to blow up the camp on the spot.

At the critical moment, Liu Yanqing, a veteran of the western army, let out a roar, and led only seven or eight brave men, risking their lives to charge into the enemy group, and with a slash from flying horse, Herren fell off his horse.

The old general's heroic appearance remained the same as before, he jumped off his horse and cut off his head, then immediately stood up, held Heren's head high, and shouted loudly: "Your generals are dead, if you don't surrender, there will be no place for burial." Terrified, they all knelt down and begged to surrender.

Tong Guan was still in shock, and in a fit of rage, he immediately took down a few vanguard generals, each with batons, and stayed in his post to serve him. He also praised Liu Yanqing's bravery. When the army entered Xijing, the sun had already set to the west .

Cao Cao hosted a banquet in the government office earlier, and invited Tong Guan and others to celebrate. Tong Guan took the main seat, held Cao Cao's hand, and sat beside him. The rest of the generals and schools took their seats according to their positions.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Tong Guan's mood gradually improved. He got up, looked around, and talked loudly: "Xijing has a high wall and is protected by Yishui and Dahe River. It has been a fortified city since ancient times. Not to mention the art of war. Surround them, and the combined forces of the bandits and soldiers are still stronger than mine. In such a situation, even famous generals from ancient times may have to hesitate at the gate of the city!"

Speaking of this, his expression became more complacent, and his voice became louder and louder: "However, the old man and the generals, under the order of the king, came all day and night with their tired teachers, fought fiercely for five days, and conquered the famous city. This is a rare martial art in the ages! All generals, congratulations to Da Song, congratulations to His Majesty, and congratulations to us!"

Cao Cao toasted with all the generals, shouting for victory. While drinking, he secretly admired him: Over the past thousand years, the level of fighting has not changed much, but the ability to be an official has changed rapidly.Listening to the words of the privy Tong, how brilliant——

The fortified city that is difficult to conquer through the ages, the situation where the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, the enemy army is waiting for work, Tong Dashuai led his tired troops, "Fierce battle for five days, conquering the famous city". Where is the emperor Lao Tzu who is two or three hundred miles away?
Back then, Shi Changshi and his like did not have such a level.

When the wine was half full, all the generals of the Song army stood up one after another and toasted each other, not to mention that each of them might not know a basket of big characters, but when they spoke, they spit lotus flowers out of their mouths, praising Tong Guan's martial arts, with flattering expressions, and words It's so shameless that it makes people feel sick and want to vomit, but Tong Guan is like enjoying fairy music, and his face is full of joy when he hears it.

Although those generals were incompetent, their eyes were very clever. Seeing Tong Guan pulling Cao Cao to sit with him, they knew that Lao Cao was about to become famous, so after toasting Tong Guan, they all offered wine to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao refused, but drank more than ten cups, and the alcohol gradually rose. He squinted his eyes and felt that everyone in the room could catch his eyes: all the pigs who drank had red hair, donkey ears with red ears, and fake smiles. , Staggering and toasting each other, knocking over countless dishes on the way, roasting chicken and marinated meat, stepping on it like mud, urns overturning bottles, wine flowing all over the floor.

In this situation, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing strangely, and his fists gradually began to itch. He knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly pretended to vomit, got up and left in a hurry.

After leaving the hall, Cao Cao's mood gradually calmed down when the summer night breeze blew, but suddenly he thought of soup cakes, his expression changed, and he rode to the camp where the Huaixi army was gathered, only to see a hundred and ten fire-headed troops busily busy— ——The one who kneads the dough, cuts the pie, cooks the noodle, cuts the meat... sweating profusely, but also in an orderly manner.

Lu Junyi and Sun An led hundreds of people to maintain order, while Xu Guanzhong and Xiao Jiasui helped the Huotou army face each other, shouting constantly: "Don't worry, don't panic, this is my military general who asked Marshal Tong for grace. Enough is enough, meat is enough, and you are told to wait until everyone eats it, and everyone is full."

Although those Huaixi soldiers all looked a little anxious, they never fought for it. They all lined up in a long line honestly, but at the end of the line stood a familiar face.

Duan Gou'er stood at the end of the line, yelling, "My dog's eyes can recognize people the most. That General Wu, I absolutely can't see him well. He really cares about us poor guys. He said people If there are enough people, there must be enough, the brothers are all lined up, don't embarrass Huaixi's father, I will be the last to eat, if there is not enough, you all come to eat me."

Those who got the face were all happy, in groups of three or four, or squatting by the wall, or sitting under the tree, and there were those good-for-nothing scoundrels who deliberately stood at the edge of the line, pouting. Blowing the fragrant hot air into the crowd caused a lot of scolding.

Many of those men were wounded, and even the blood from the wounds hadn't completely stopped, but each of them was holding a big bowl, eating and chewing, as if they didn't feel the pain of the wound at all, and their faces were full of contented smiles .

Cao Cao looked up at the gradually rising moon, held back the sudden burst of tears, and calmed down his emotions. Then he pretended to be nothing, laughed three times, and walked to Xiao Jiasui's side, helping him with the soup cake , and shouted loudly: "My surname Wu patted my chest and said, there are enough cakes, and the meat is three or two, but has anyone ever withheld it? If there is, the heroes in Huaixi just tell Wu, and Wu will pick it himself. Take other people's heads to make soup!"

When everyone saw Cao Cao, no matter whether they ate or not, whether they were injured or not, they all cheered: "Enough is enough, enough is enough, don't say three taels, four taels are more than enough. General Wu is a good man, as far as words are concerned." There is also a letter."

This is exactly: a prince's bottle of wine is ten thousand, and Li Shu's muddy pulp bowl is half a coin.All the nobles' cups are false, and the grass people smile when they are drunk.
