Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 663 Chapter

July is commonly known as July and a half, Taoism is called the Ghost Festival, and Buddhism is called the Yulan Basin Festival.

According to old legends, on this day the gate of hell is opened in the underground palace, and countless dead souls return to the world. Those who have owners go home to enjoy sacrifices, while those who have no owners cry and wander around, looking for food.

However, on the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the first year of Jingkang, at least in the Taiyuan area, those souls who have escaped from the ghost gate will be greatly surprised:
I waited once a year, finally came back, and was about to enjoy some sacrificial cigarettes, why are there so many wild ghosts competing for food?How is this world so noisy?How come there are so many fierce fighting spirits?It's a good Hungry Ghost Festival, why is it so scrolling?

How do you feel?It turned out that on this day, the two places separated by forty or fifty miles were busy in full swing——

One is under the city of Taiyuan.

The Xixia army has been besieging the city for more than days, and countless soldiers and civilians died on the city wall.

Fortunately, the two veteran generals, Lao Zhong and Xiao Zhong, led the troops into the city successively, and the morale of the people never collapsed, and they were willing to give up their lives to deal with the enemy.

On the day of Zhongyuan, I don't know if the Jurchen and Dangxiang people just sent troops to attack on all sides because of this festival--

The remaining three sides are all focused on containment, only the south of the city is the main attack. The earth mountain is almost as high as the city, and the famous Poxi army of Xixia is stationed on it. Difficult to lift.

The Poxi army is the trump card of the Western Xia army, and it is a bit more expensive than the iron kite. There are only a few hundred people in total, and they all lead camels to fight. .

The stones fired by this cannon are the size of a fist, and they are fired quickly and quickly. Even if you are hit by a stepping armor, you will suffer internal injuries and vomit blood. People in the Song Dynasty described it as "the vertical stone is like a fist, and the lungs are cracked internally", which shows its power. .

There are also many crossbowmen who aim their crossbow arrows carefully, and shoot at any defenders who show their heads with strong crossbows.

After several rounds like this, the "Bang Gongzi" was dispatched to attack the city again.

Those who bumped into the son were from the Xixia army, and they were all captured Han people. The strong and brave ones were selected as the front army, and they were the first to attack in every battle.Most of the bumping sons used today are the Song Army who surrendered on the Yongxing Army Road.

The city river outside the city wall had already been filled up at this time, and those bumping sons rushed down the city with the ladder carts, shook the ladder and climbed until they climbed to the top of the city, and then the defending Song army jumped up. He gritted his teeth and killed fiercely in the city.

It turned out that after Xixia built the earth mountain, the Taiyuan defenders were completely at a disadvantage. They could not take advantage of the condescension as before. They could only fight the enemy on the wall with their flesh and blood, and they could only be entangled in one place, and the earth mountain was whirlwind. Cannons and crossbows are hard to show off.

After a bloody battle, relying on a few brave generals in the city, Zhuang Gongzi dropped three or four hundred corpses in a hurry and retreated, but the whirlwind cannon hit stones again, scaring the defenders to flee in a hurry.

In recent days, this scene seems to have become the norm.

Li Qianshun was quite satisfied with this. Although he was still unable to break through the city, with this method of attack, the casualties of the defenders rose in a straight line. He had a superior force, and he was confident that it would take a few more days for him to break through the city.

Unfortunately, time never waits for anyone.Every time I count "a few more days", the deadline has secretly arrived.

I just feel sorry for Li Qianshun, he can't predict what will happen tomorrow, and he has never been clairvoyant. He thinks he is invincible, and he only cares about attacking the city, and he doesn't even bother to send scouts twenty miles away. According to Gongsun Sheng's request, a new altar has been built!
Ladies and gentlemen, this altar is not an ordinary building, it has a standard——

It is to find the position of Tai Sui, make good use of loess, and build three floors. The lower floor is three feet wide, the middle floor is two feet eight, and the upper floor is two feet four. The three floors are each one foot three inches high.

At the four corners of the platform, there are four new porcelain bowls, each containing a newly folded branch; five large tanks are placed under the altar, all of which are filled with clean water, and a branch of willow floats on the surface of the water. It is the character of the thunderbolt.

On the three-story platform, there is an incense table in the center, an incense burner on it, and two candlesticks on both sides. You can only see the mist of incense smoke and faint candlelight. Card five.

That's all for the arrangement, Mr. Gongsun calculated it with his fingers, and it was noon, so he put on a gossip-shaped fairy robe with a purple ribbon, held a bronze sword with a pine pattern, and loosened his hair. It is "Flying Dragon Brings Rain Gang", also known as "Zuoshui Calls Thunder Gang", who came to the stage from the ground.

Go up to the platform, turn left nine times, recite the "Calling the Dragon and Bringing Rain Mantra" nine times, burn nine pieces of yellow paper, and recite the "Praying Rain Mantra" again, with a loud voice, reaching the secret of heaven——

"Taiyuan Hao mastered thunder and fire essence, gathered yin and gathered yang to guard Leicheng. Uncle Yan ascended to the courtyard of the continent, and the wind and electricity created ghosts. Floating all the Taihua ordered his guests, God has ordered to act quickly. Harvesting the sun and raining instantly, driving away The dragon strikes the lightning and leaves Xuanhong. I am in a hurry to act under the incantation. It is better than the Jade Emperor ordering the king's name. Anyone who dares to refuse is not a light crime. Haste is like a law."

After reciting, hit the token with the sword one by one, the sound is clanging, but after hearing a sound, black winds rise up all around, roaring in the mountains, forests, grass, leaves and trees, dancing chaotically.

Hearing two more sounds, the sunny day was covered by dark clouds, and the air-conditioning suddenly came out. Cao Cao was waiting to stand down from the stage, and his skin was covered with goose bumps.

After hearing three sounds, the lightning flashed like a dragon and the thunder shook like a drum, the silver snakes shuttled among the dark clouds above, and the wild beasts in the mountains and forests all around fled far away as if they were facing a big enemy.

Listen to four more sounds, it's amazing!First, there were only a few raindrops falling, and after blinking a few times, there was a crash, and it seemed that the Milky Way was overturned. The heavy rain fell from the sky, and it was difficult to see people ten feet away.

Cao Cao exclaimed: "Mr. Gongsun's technique is unexpectedly so amazing! Brother Qiao Daoqing is the most used to making water, and he may not have the same skills as him. He is really an authentic Taoist and extraordinary."

At present, the water of the Fen River can be seen rising with the naked eye, like a raging monster dragon, blocked by the embankment, unable to vent its anger. The river is poured into Taiyuan.

Lao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and shouted loudly: "God help me! It's the right time to destroy the Xixia army!"

Seeing a big wave go away first, when the water slowed down a little, Lao Cao first pulled up a bamboo raft and threw it into the water.

Seeing this, Zhang Liang, a barbarian from Guiyi, shouted: "Master, let me control the boat!" First, he jumped onto the raft, held on to the raft with a pole, and Lao Cao drew a knife in his hand. , jumped onto the bamboo raft, Hu Sanniang, Shi Qian, and Jiao Ting jumped up at the same time, Zhang Liang released the pole, and the raft went along with the water.

Seeing that Lao Cao took the lead, who would dare to lag behind?They all braved the rain and went straight away on the bamboo raft.

There are points to teach:
Flying water falls from the sky, and flood waves arise from the ground.Wood and bamboo are rafts and waves are horses, and soldiers ride on waves.

Ghosts cry and gods cry, the wind is mad and the sun is dark.Yue shakes the mountains and collapses into turbidity and flows out of anger, and dragons and dragons fly away and black clouds ride.

The roots of the trees rose, and the boulders rose flat.The banner rolls with the murderous aura of the waves, and the ups and downs of the soldiers are all over the city.

Dang Xiang opened his mouth in shock, but Jurchen wept silently.Ren Erqiang is the most brave in the world, and all of them can be turned into a pot of soup!

However, those soldiers and horses who attacked the city originally took shelter from the rain. Unexpectedly, disasters fell from the sky. When they heard the earth-shattering noise, they couldn't help but radiate fear from the cracks in their bones. One by one, they went out of their tents tremblingly to see, but they saw a The flood rushed from the south to the north, and the waves rose several feet high on the flat ground, forcing them to come over like a silver wall. They were all frightened and stared at the water without blinking, and their souls did not know where they had drifted.

As soon as the big wave rushed over, the earth mountain that took many days to pile up collapsed in an instant, and came rushing in with a crash. Not to mention people, even war horses and camels were swept away by the waves, and they all turned into dust.

This big wave rushed over the city with a bang, spreading on both sides, and the city gate that Xixia had been unable to attack for a long time also burst open.

When the people in the city saw the water rushing in, they were all terrified. They climbed walls, houses, trees and beams, trying to escape.

But pity the old, weak and obese people in the city, so they had to go up to the stage to avoid them. When the water came, the tables and tables floated up in a blink of an eye, the houses collapsed, and they all turned into fish in the water, causing countless casualties.

On the altar in the distance, Gongsun Sheng showed a compassionate expression, and tapped his sword on the fifth token, and the clouds cleared and the rain stopped in an instant, and the sky was still clear and clear.

The water lost its stamina, and the city was wide open again, spreading in all directions, and then stopped after a while. At this time, the water depth on the flat ground was only four or five feet, but anyone taller than Lao Cao would not be easily drowned.

The city walls of Taiyuan were protecting each other, and when the water rushed in, many people died. The soldiers and generals outside the city were empty and without shelter, how could it be good?

More than horses, at least half of them were drowned on the spot, and the rest were struggling in the muddy water on their chests.

At this time, countless bamboo rafts and wooden rafts roared in, and everyone on the rafts shouted in unison, charged around with their pennies in their hands, stabbed with spears and knives, and these soldiers and horses in the water, whether they were Bubazi, iron kites, or Poxi Jun, Zhuangzi, how can there be any power to fight back?It is not so easy to kill chickens.

The generals in the Xixia army were all ashamed, knowing that the situation was difficult to deal with, they all took care of their own lives and waded through the water to escape.

In this massacre, those who were swept away, drowned, and even hacked to death, at least more than people gave their lives to the city of Taiyuan.

In Taiyuan City, a group of soldiers and generals, even the fleeing civilians, gathered on the city wall. They were stunned to see soldiers and horses coming from nowhere, and Shura's killing spree like he was born.

Some also guessed the reason. For example, when Lin Chong patted Hu Yanzhuo, the two were full of ecstasy and laughed loudly: "Brother, what a trick! How did you create such a big flood! This battle was thought to be protracted, but in a short while , the victory and defeat have been divided."

On the other side, Mr. Xiaozhong pulled his elder brother and exclaimed: "In the past, when I read about Guan Yunchang's flooding of the Seventh Army, I still couldn't imagine the scene at that time. Today, I realize the power of heaven and earth, how cruel it is."

The old man had been sick and fought for many days, and now he was so thin that only a handful of bones remained. Hearing what his brother said, he turned his head to look at the miserable situation in the city, and sighed: "This plan is too cruel and poisonous! Today's water, The drowned civilians may not be less than the dead enemy troops."

Zhang Xiaochun, the magistrate of Taiyuan, squeezed over from the side. He was a civil official, but his face was flushed with excitement. Hearing this, he quickly shook his head: "Ah, what the old Prime Minister said is ridiculous! This poisonous plan to flood the seven armies, although It harmed my city, but it also destroyed the whole country of Xixia! Moreover, the water comes and goes quickly, and there are many houses in the city. Although casualties are inevitable, most people must survive."

Mr. Xiaozhong also nodded and said: "That's right! Brother, Xixia wants to complete its merits in one battle, and has launched a military force that will destroy the country. Now, in this battle, he will stop nine times out of ten. We will take advantage of the situation to cover up and destroy the country." How difficult is it to die?"

The old man didn't say a word, he just shook his head and sighed.

Han Cunbao and other generals didn't care much. They were beaten by Xixia in the city for many days, and they were already full of anger.

After another half an hour, the water level dropped again, and the ground accumulated water, but it was no more than the height of the calf.

Wanyan Wushu and other generals of the Kingdom of Jin, because they are located in a high place in the north of the city, although they were affected, they did not suffer much loss.

Wushu originally had more than soldiers and horses, but when Lou Shi arrived, he brought more than soldiers, and both sides had more than soldiers, of which nearly were from the Jurchen clan.

More than people from the Kingdom of Jin were killed in this battle, and there are still people who follow Wanyan Wushu to rescue his father-in-law.

Lao Cao killed the soldiers of Xixia and the soldiers of Song Dynasty to pieces, but he surrounded Li Ganshun, the Lord of Xia, on a mound.

Around Li Ganshun, there were only one or two thousand people, and they fought fiercely on the mound. All the soldiers and generals here from Lao Cao jumped off the raft, besieged and killed them from all sides.

The two sides were fighting lively, and the golden soldiers came out from the side. Lao Cao was surprised when he saw that there were a large number of him and the formation was in order. He shouted: "Shi Bao, Yao Xing, block him for me!"

Shi Bao and Yao Xing were covered in blood. Hearing the words, they responded in unison. They raised their arms and called out, each leading more than a thousand people to stop them.

When the two armies met, they saw Wanyan Wushu's horse coming head-on, Jiao Ting recognized him as the Prince of Jin, he was overjoyed, he jumped forward and wanted to cut off his horse's feet.

Jin Wushu let out a loud roar, knocked his big axe, and split Jiao Ting's swords, the horse jumped forward, Jiao Ting's movement was limited in the muddy ground, his reaction was a little slow, the horse hit his chest flat, He didn't say a word at the moment, he flew upside down three to four feet, and landed in the muddy water, lifeless.

Seeing Jiao Ting being knocked into the air by a horse from a distance, Lao Cao felt a pain in his heart, and shouted: "Hua Rong, San Niang, you two will lead the army for me, and you must capture Lord Xia alive! Shi Qian will follow me to rescue Jiao Ting!"

Seeing Jiao Ting flying out in front, Shi Bao was also startled, and said to himself: This man is my brother's confidant, if he is broken, my brother will be sad, if I don't kill this golden general to take revenge, how can I face him?

With a loud roar, he jumped up and slashed at Wushu with his sword. Wushu saw that he was coming so fast, he didn't dare to underestimate him, so he quickly swung his ax to parry.

Shi Bao had few opponents with this saber. Wu Shu also practiced hard with Pu Feng after he became enemies with Cao Cao.

Unexpectedly, Yao Xing suddenly rushed out from the side, dancing with his two knives into a ball of brilliance, he rushed straight in front of the Wushu horse, and chopped off the horse's feet with a backhand.

Wu Shu quickly parted the ax to block it, but Yao Xing's two knives were not comparable to Jiao Ting's, but seeing the blade's edge folded, he let the big ax lightly and deftly, and the horse's hoof was removed with one blow.

The poor horse lost its front foot, crashed to the ground, knocked Wushu off the saddle, rolled into the muddy water, and shouted anxiously: "You are a hero, don't take advantage of it...ah!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly let out a long scream, but it was Shi Bao who chopped off his left leg at the knee!
