Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 438
In the city of Hangzhou, there are nearly 8 soldiers and horses.

Although Shibao was defeated for a while, he was rescued by Cao Cao in time. Only five or six thousand soldiers were actually killed or fled. Today there are still soldiers.

On March 22, Tong Guan led the troops out of the stronghold, intending to cross the river and attack the city.

Seeing the actions of the officers and soldiers in the city, they hurriedly opened the North Gate. Marshal Beixuan "Tiger Saber" Si Xingfang, with a slap in the face, brought two flying generals, and led three thousand troops to fight out, blocking the Jiangzhang Bridge. Officers and soldiers rushed over, arrows rained from the city up and down the city, and they stopped him on the other side.

Seeing that he was anxious and sad, Tong Guan called back the soldiers and horses, and went out of the battle and shouted: "The heavenly soldiers have arrived, why don't you come down early? If you are willing to surrender before the battle, this commander will make the decision. I will pardon your previous crimes and allow you to perform your crimes and meritorious service in the army."

Seeing his golden helmet and armor, Si Xingfang guessed that he must be Tong Guan. He looked up to the sky and smiled, and shouted loudly: "Grandpa must surrender. It's just that grandpa has always loved cleanliness, so why would he join forces with a sycophant? Let's take it." The traitors Zhu Xi, Cai Jing, and Yang Jian, as well as your own head, were all brought here by the Zhao official family, and grandpa dismounted and surrendered."

Hearing this, Tong Guan was furious, pointing and said: "Fraud against the rebels, dare to humiliate the minister! Whoever comes with me to take the other's head, I will give you a lot of rewards."

The general, Wang Fen, wants to grab the lead, pats his horse and dances his spear, rushes to the bridge, and shouts: "Wu that thief general, I am Song general Wang Fen! Do you dare to fight to the death with me or not?"

Wang Tin conquered Wang Qing from Tong Guan, and made many meritorious deeds. He was appointed as the observation envoy of Wuzhou and commanded the infantry.

Si Xingfang had also heard of this man's bravery, and was about to step forward to compete with him, when a flying general next to him shouted: "How can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife! Bei Shuai, please be the last general, and wait for me, Wang Ji, to kill him." !" After saying that, he danced with the pair of copper sabers, and took the king directly.

This bridge is seven to eight feet wide, and it is a good battlefield for a general. His two horses cross each other, each full of anger, and they fight together.

Wang Ji is from Jinling. When he was in the village, he was under the same teacher as Ma Lin. Ma Lin played the iron flute so well that he was called "Iron Flute Fairy". Wang Ji also played the tambourine and was called "Iron Drum Fairy".

Afterwards, each of them became successful in their arts and traveled the rivers and lakes. They had different experiences. Ma Lin, Ou Peng, Jiang Jing, and Tao Zongwang went to Huangmen Mountain to fall grass, and Wang Ji joined the Mingjiao. Later, he went to Huangmen Mountain to invite his brothers. Joined the gang, but it was a pity that Ma Lin had gone with Cao Cao at that time, leaving Xiao Su in the barren hills.

Wang Ji's two copper knives swung around like jade flakes floating in the wind, or like snow falling into qionghua. Tong Guan was dazzled by the sight, and exclaimed in surprise, "This thief general is really amazing!"

Liu Yanqing next to him looked around, how could his presbyopic eyes see clearly?Randomly comforted: "Don't be alarmed, commander. If that guy really overwhelms Wang Ting, he will fall into the dust with just one arrow." Tong Guan felt at ease after hearing this.

Wang Ting and Wang Ji rattled each other seven or eight moves, and shouted: "What you have learned is all fancy tricks in the Jianghu, how dare you fight against my general?"

He raised a gun in his hand, like a thunderbolt, passed through the shadow of his two knives, and sank into his throat at once, he exhaled "Hey", and picked it out two feet away.

There is a poem, Shan Zan Wang gave this gun:
It's too late to see the gun go like lightning, but it's too late to attack like lightning.

The first fight in the city of Hangzhou, when the iron drum never revived.

When Si Xingfang saw that Wang Ji had been killed, he was furious in his heart, and shouted: "The enemy generals must not go away, and save their lives to pay homage to my brother Wang Ji."

Wang Ting said proudly: "One comes, one dies, two comes, one dies." He pointed his gun at him.

Although Si Xingfang's saber is slightly inferior to Shi Bao, it is also famous in the south of the Yangtze River. Wang Ti is already a famous athlete among the generals of the Song Dynasty.

Tong Guan said unhappily: "Wang Tingsu boasted of his bravery. He just killed that thief general, and he was quick to do so. Now why can't he take this man down for a long time?"

Liu Guangshi, who was behind his father, heard this, and hurriedly said: "I will report to the commander, the brave general Wang De under the young general's command, nicknamed 'Yasha', has unstoppable courage. Please allow him to go into battle and help General Wang."

Tong Guan said with a smile: "Let him try it, if he is really brave, why should I promote him?"

Liu Guangshi was overjoyed and hurriedly pushed Wang De out of the battle. Wang De cheered up and fought out with a big axe. When Huang Ai, the "stone lion" in the southern army saw it, he woke up and said, "Didn't the soldiers who were defeated before say that one of the Song soldiers used a big axe?" Killed Wu value?Could it be this person?Just to avenge him.

It turns out that the "Iron Lion" Wu Zhi killed by Wang De before was the brother of Huang Aiyi and Jin Lan, and the two are collectively called "Iron and Stone Twin Lions".

Immediately shouted: "Two and one? Come and fight with me!" Swinging the iron rod in his hand, he smashed his horse and stopped Wang De.

Wang De's methods were more ruthless than Wang Tie's. They only fought once, raised their hands and dropped their axe, and cut Huang Ai under the horse. Without stopping, they went straight to Si Xingfang.

Si Xingfang saw his methods, how dare he fight two with one?Throwing a flaw, the horse ran away, Wang Zhi and Wang De rushed across the bridge, shot and axed, killing blood waves, and the southern soldiers howled and ran away.

Tong Guan was overjoyed when he saw this, he pointed his horsewhip, and the soldiers and horses under his command rushed to cross the bridge first. Desperately grab the city gate.

At this time Fang Tianding rushed over, was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly ordered to close the city, Si Xingfang panicked: "Your lords are still outside."

Fang Tianding said angrily: "Hangzhou is important? Their lives are important? Close the door!" As he spoke, he snatched the small soldier's big axe, cut the rope with one axe, and the gate crashed down, smashing several southern soldiers underground into a pulp.

As soon as Wang Ting and Wang De rushed forward, their faces were splashed with minced meat, and their hairs stood on end in fright: It will be a little later, and the two of them will melt into the mud.

It turns out that the city of Hangzhou was built by King Qian in the past, and there are three gates: the outer gate is a gate, weighing more than a thousand catties, the middle is two iron leaf gates, and the innermost is a row of gates .

Of the 3000 people who followed Si Xingfang to the battle, only seven or eight hundred escaped back, and the rest fell outside the gate and were slaughtered by Tong Guan's army. many.

Not long after, all the southern soldiers outside the city were killed. Tong Guan saw that the iron gates had been released and it was difficult to enter for a while, so he ordered Wang De to lead troops to attack, and Wang Zhi led troops to march along the canal to attack Gen. At the mountain gate, generals Yang Keshi, Zhao Ming, and Xin Xingzong led troops to detour to the east of the city to attack Qingchun Gate, Qingtai Gate, and Wangjiang Gate.

He was also afraid that the southern army would abandon the city and flee south, so he ordered Liu Zhen to lead the Jingyuan soldiers of his headquarters to occupy Fengshan and cut off his way to escape to the south.

His own family took the rest of the soldiers and horses, and occupied the north bank of the canal, watching Wang De and Wang Zhi attack the city.

So far, Hangzhou has been surrounded by Tong Guan on all sides.

The city of Hangzhou had already been arranged: Marshal Nanli guards the south city, Marshal Dongqing guards the east city, Marshal Xirui guards the west city, and Marshal Beixuan guards the north city.Now that Si Xingfang was ineffective in fighting and was almost robbed of the city gate, Fang Tianding and Fang Qifo personally commanded the defense to the north, leaving him to regret and cry alone.

Outside the city, Yang Keshi, Zhao Ming, and Xin Xingzong led Huanqing soldiers and Xihe soldiers to attack the east city. They went around to the east of the city and saw that there were many people outside the moat and along the large land along the river. people.

It turns out that Hangzhou has been prosperous for many years, and the city is limited after all. The Nanshan West Hubei Canal, only the east is open and open, where people can live and work in peace and contentment.

He divided the three families, Yang Keshi and Zhao Ming went to fight Qingtai and Wangjiang, Xin Xingzong led the Xihe soldiers to fight Qingchunmen, and when the two led the troops to go far, Xin Xingzong was not in a hurry to attack the city and called his men The big and small generals said to them: "Our army was defeated a few days ago, and now the morale of the boys has not recovered. How can we fight? I think the people here are rich, and since Hangzhou has been occupied by rebels, these people are rebels. What I mean by this general is to wipe out all the villages outside his city first, let the sons and daughters get a bet, and then go to attack the city, wouldn't it be more powerful?"

Those generals were all overjoyed when they heard the words, and they all said: "The general's words couldn't be better. I think I will eat sand and suffer in the northwest, and fight bloody battles with the Xixia people every year. He enjoys peace here, and he dares to follow the thief. If you don’t teach him a lesson, all the people in the world will learn from him.”

Xin Xingzong raised his head and laughed loudly: "That's right! When you lead your troops to teach these rebels a lesson, remember that all property will be divided into three points, and Marshal Tong and I will get one point. One point is taken, and the remaining one point belongs to the sons, and if the sons hide and refuse to accept it, they will show it to the public."

The generals laughed so hard that their mouths were full of toothache, and they all swear: "The general loves the lord so much, who dares to hide it, he is really not a son of man, and the generals will peel his skin with their own hands."

Xin Xingzong looked at the defenders on the city wall again, rolled his eyes, and said: "You don't have to go all, Xin Jia, Xin Chou, Xin You, and Xin Ding are four, and they will be killed by thousands of people. Like this, like this."

The four he pointed out were all generals of his Xin family, who had followed his father for many years, and are now serving as the head of the army, Marquis of Yu and other positions in the army.

When the four heard the words, they immediately showed disappointment, but they didn't dare to disobey the order, and each led the others.

The rest of the generals also led their own troops and scattered away. In a short while, the village was full of flames, crying, screaming, begging for mercy, and wild laughter. Xin Xingzong laughed heartily as if hearing fairy music.

Li Tianrun was guarding the east wall, and he personally sat at the Qingtai Gate in the middle. The guard of the Qingchun Gate was Chao Zhong, the "beheaded gentleman". He was looking at the chaos outside the city with a sullen face while leaning on a ghost-headed sword.

The little leader under his command said angrily: "General Chao Fei, look at these officers and soldiers, they are more ruthless than our rebels! When we entered Hangzhou in the past, the killings were never so tragic. And that general Song is so arrogant and unprepared, we wait How about going out and killing him?"

Chao Zhong followed his directions, and sure enough, Xin Xingzong got off his horse and was sitting under a big tree, surrounded by only a dozen guards.

His heart moved, and he slowly shook his head and said: "No way! Just now the eldest prince sent people to pass on the news to each sect. Didn't you hear it? Marshal Si has suffered a defeat. If anyone dares to go out of the city to fight again, he will be killed without mercy."

Hearing this, the little leader couldn't help sighing, watching the officers and soldiers outside the city commit violence, he stomped his feet in hatred.

Suddenly someone behind him said in a deep voice: "Your family's young leader's general order has never been passed on to me. Brother Chao, you guard the city by yourself, and open the door to let my brother Liangshan fight. At least you are venting your anger for the people of Hangzhou."

Chao Zhong turned his head, but saw Cao Cao staring at the miserable scene outside the city, his face sinking like water, and his tone was irrefutable: "I won't make things difficult for you, and I will explain to the young leader later that he is my brother. This face must be given to me." I."

Chao Zhong took a breath, nodded and said, "The officers and soldiers are powerful, brothers, be careful!"

It turned out that Cao Cao had been inspecting the city defense with Fang Tianding in the daytime, and at night he had been thinking hard alone, how to defeat him quickly without showing his face, and how to preserve the strength of Mingjiao as much as possible.

Today when I heard that the officers and soldiers were attacking the city, I immediately ordered the troops to wait for the opportunity. Unexpectedly, when I saw Xin Xingzong's troops looting, my heart moved, and I thought to myself: I came to help under the banner of Liangshan, but I must not lose the prestige of Liangshan. This group of western soldiers is lawless. , just borrow him first to gain prestige, and then lose Hangzhou later, so it won't hurt our face!
Immediately he called a group of brothers and whispered: "He has many soldiers and horses. When you go out to fight, you must not fall in love with the battle and fall into a tight siege. It's just like this, and then like this..."

After the arrangement was completed, Chao Zhong sent people to open the city gate and put down the suspension bridge. Five generals galloped out with dozens of cavalry and more than a hundred bow cavalry.

Which five will?Tang Bin, General Tang, Shi Jin, Shi Dalang, Chen Da and Yang Chun, Fan Rui and Fan Demon King.

Xin Xingzong saw a young cavalry rushing towards him, instead of being surprised, he was overjoyed. He got up on his horse, pointed at him and laughed loudly: "The traitor, I have plotted against you! Yeah? It's you!"

But he saw the faces of Tang Bin and Shi Jin clearly, Shi Jin killed his second brother, Tang Bin stabbed him with a spear, his wound and heart ached, he gritted his teeth and said: "Take you, you will be chopped into pieces."

Before the words were finished, a guard next to him took out his horn and blew it. Immediately, he went all around the house, hundreds of people shouted and rushed out.

Xin Xingzong was surprised when he saw it—he had ambushed 1000 people, thinking that if the enemy general saw that he was alone and took the risk to kill him, he would surprise him with ambushes, and maybe he could take the opportunity to seize the city. The soldiers who came out were no more than four to five hundred, and only Xin Jia and Xin Chou appeared among the four generals.

But I don't know that people don't suffer from few people, but only from unevenness. All other robes are plundered, but these 1000 people stay as ambush soldiers. How can they be willing in their hearts?The four generals negotiated secretly, and all of them fought at Beimenguan. The bandit soldiers would be frightened, how could they dare to go out lightly?It's better for everyone to take turns to plunder once, and it's not in vain to travel thousands of miles to come to Jiangnan to fight.

In the end, the Xin family's military management was fairly strict, and at least half of them were left behind.

Among Xihe's soldiers, there were also cavalry, but it was inconvenient to ambush, and they all went to plunder, but here were all infantry. Tang Bin shouted from a distance and shot arrows. Two 30 people.

For this burst of arrows, the ambush soldiers moved a bit slowly, and before they could line up, Shi Jin and Tang Bin charged in side by side, and the three pointed knives and steel spears danced together, killing everyone immediately.

The two generals of the Xin family were in a hurry, and came to fight with their horses. Yang Chun and Chen Da bravely stepped forward, and after a short battle, they beheaded the two of them by their horses.

If Xin Xingzong was uninjured, he could still struggle for a while with the fishtail ax handed down in his family. At this moment, his shoulders are wrapped so high that his armor has never been worn, so what else is there to think about?He turned his head and fled, and the guards around him even blew their horns wildly, calling for most of them to come to help.

Fortunately, even though those soldiers from the west were thrown into disorder, they all fought with all their strength when they saw that the general was in danger, and the road was not very wide.

Xin Xingzong turned his head to look, feeling a little more at ease, now there is a large army of Tongguan outside the city, he expected that these rebels would not dare to go after him, let alone those soldiers and horses who were scattered to plunder, when they heard the sound of the horn, they returned separately. When there were too many people gathered, he could not directly kill him, so he avenged blood for himself and the second child.

Just as he was triumphant, his eyes suddenly narrowed, but he saw an oolong rising from the chaos army, and a blue-faced and long-toothed general sat firmly on the dragon's back, holding a hammer in his right hand, and immediately pulled his hair with his left hand. Just fly straight over in mid-air.

At this scene, Xin Xingzong was so frightened that he cried out: "Ah, what kind of demon method is this!"

In mid-air, Fan Rui yelled in pain: "Ah, what's wrong with it, what are you doing by pulling my hair!"

In a blink of an eye, it was already at the top of his head. With tears in his eyes, Fan Rui held back the pain and threw out the copper hammer, knocking Xin Xingzong off his horse. He hastily withdrew his magical powers, drew out the sword of the Hunshi Demon King, and put it on Xin Xingzong's neck: "Tell them all to stop, Otherwise, I will cut off your donkey's head first!"

Seeing this scene in the distance, Shi Jin and Tang Bin couldn't help exclaiming: "Brother Fan is so diligent in Taoism!"

They had never participated in the battle of Fusang, so they didn't know that this "must general" god general happened to eat the three gods of the White Tiger, Soaring Snake, and Suzaku that have been passed down by the Abe family for many years. .

This is exactly: the demon king of the world is the master of Taoism, let me fly in the formation.Feiteng land wins the enemy general, and Fan Ruinan enjoys a great reputation.
