Chapter 1103 lingering
After Zhang left for a while, he rushed up with a telegram with a smile.
"Captain Gao, Chief Xun's telegram!"
"So fast?" Gao Shun took the telegram in surprise, read it once, and looked at Zhang Ji with some confusion.
"Staff General Zhang thinks this method is feasible? Isn't Xiahou Yuan so brainless, right?"
"Since it is Chief Xun's plan, I think I can give it a try!"
"Okay...let the departments prepare!"
Seeing that the first time the earth was poured out was very successful, Xiahou Yuan immediately began to organize the second people to siege the city and collapse the earth.
The second time, there was no arrow shot at the top of the city. Instead, more rope ladders were placed down. These rope ladders were hanging to the ground. It looked so tempting that Xiahou Yuan wanted to take risks.
"I didn't expect Gao Shun to be so kind as a woman, and let the soldiers get into the people and prepare to steal the city!"
"promise!"
The third time, Xiahou Yuan asked 500 elite soldiers to mix into the people's team. After the previous two times of pouring soil, the gullies that were not deep in the west of Hangu Pass had been filled. Therefore, these people also began to pour soil under the city walls, preparing to build a road to attack the city with soil.
At this moment, the five hundred elite troops of Xiahou Yuan's tribe pulled out the weapons hidden in the soil and began to climb the rope ladder to grab the city.
"Shoot the arrow!"
The archer guarding the pass, who had been preparing for a long time, immediately leaned out and looked at the climbing sergeant with an arrow. Then countless woods and rolling stones were smashed down, smashing the sergeant to death on the spot.
"Escape quickly!!"
When the people saw that the fight was really started, they were still at the gates and turned around and ran away. Xiahou Yuan saw that the soldiers who were robbing the city could not get up, and was anxious. He turned over and shouted, "Siege the city!! Siege the city for me!"
What? Are you not prepared for siege equipment?
What kind of siege equipment are needed! Aren’t those rope ladders there? Get it to me!
But as soon as Xiahou Yuan's army was moving, they knew what it meant to be self-disturbing. The fleeing people looked at the Xiahou Yuan's army that rushed up and fled in fear. Xiahou Yuan didn't want to kill these people who might be useful now. As a result, the entire army was almost in chaos by these people.
Bang!
Suddenly, a loud bang came, and the huge suspension bridge of Hangu Pass was suddenly put down. The city gate had already opened. Gao Shun took the lead and waved his halberd and shouted, "Protect the people and kill the enemy!"
Then countless explosive packs of smoke were flying out of the city. These explosive packs were naturally transported from Hanoi and launched with the ejection in Hangu Pass. It was so far away. Each of them was three hundred steps away, covering the Xiahou Yuan army so tightly.
Zhang Ji stood on the wall, looked at the little black and red mushroom clouds under the city, and smiled and said, "Chief Xun is really a god!"
"Master, why did Chief Xun calculate that as long as we throw out a large number of rope ladders, Xiahou Yuan will definitely come and grab the pass at the risk of being disrupted by the people?" Sima Fu, who was sent to Hangu Pass and became a disciple of Zhang Ji, asked in confusion.
"Because Chief of Staff Xun has a very good understanding of Xiahou Yuan's character.
In the telegram, he said that Xiahou Yuan was called General Baidi in the army. He was a general without rules and was not a talented general. As long as he used small profits to lure him, he would be deceived!"
Zhang Ji was right. Xiahou Yuan’s biggest problem was that he was unclear about his positioning. In history, he would be killed because he brought a small group of soldiers out of the camp to repair the antlers, and Huang Zhong caught the opportunity.
You said that you, the military leader, need to do something like repairing fortifications in the future?
Zhang Ji looked at Gao Shun's victory step by step, and Xiahou Yuan began to be defeated, and said with a smile, "If Commander Gao goes well today, he might be able to kill him!"
Zhang thought very well, but Gao Shun was not Huang Zhong after all. He had the ability to command troops, but his ability to fight generals was weaker. He took advantage of the chaos of Xiahou Yuan's army and took the opportunity to recruit Xiahou Yuan's defeated soldiers.
Many of Xiahou Yuan's army were from Sili. They had no chance before, but now they have the opportunity to surrender and live and reunite with their families. Many of them surrender with the flow.
When Xiahou Yuan returned to his camp and counted his troops, he found that more than 10,000 people were killed and captured by Gao Shun, and most of the people were forced to return to the gate by Gao Shun.
Just as Xiahou Yuan was screaming in anger, bad news came from behind.
Xu Huang led his army out of Tongguan and exploded Shan County with explosives. At this time, Shan County had already been taken down.
Shan County has also become the first city to be captured twice by gunpowder since the birth of this planet!
I think in a few days, Xu Huang will lead his troops to continue to advance eastward and squeeze Xiahou Yuan's space.
Xiahou Yuan knew that he would be very likely to be annihilated at the Hangu Pass again, so he simply abandoned all the people, gathered soldiers and food, and prepared to defend Xin'an to the death.
Not to mention Xiahou Yuan's persistence, Liu Yao is facing a choice on the other side of Yangzhou Yuzhang County.
When it comes to the Han princes who were doing the worst, Liu Yao was unwilling to do so!
Among the Han princes today, whether it is Liu Bei, Liu Biao or Liu Zhang, they roughly occupy a territory of a state. Even if there is a rebellion from Hanzhong in Yizhou and a rebellion from Jingzhou in Jingnan, Liu Biao and Liu Zhang still have the upper hand in strength.
Liu Yao was different. Since entering Yangzhou, he was first bullied by Yuan Shu. He thought Sun Ce was the one he could win over, but when he turned around, Sun Ce started to snatch Yangzhou with his horse and spear, and even drove him from Wujun to the south, and even robbed and killed the envoy sent to Peixian Alliance, forcing him to stand on the side of Hebei.
You should know that from his heart, he still hopes to stand with his brother Cao Cao, his good brother.
It’s all because of Sun Ce!
At this time, Liu Yao was left with only one Kuaiji County, and he survived with the help of Wang Lang, the governor of Kuaiji County.
Wang Lang, the name later generations are remembered by the world for his strange way of death written by Lao Luo. At this time, he was not Wang Situ, but Wang Junguan in his prime.
Wang Lang followed Yang Ci. After Yang Ci died, he abandoned his official position and mourned him. Later, he was summoned by Tao Qian and appointed him as Maocai. He was also represented by Tao Qian as the prefect of Kuaiji until now.
Wang Lang is just a scholar who manages scriptures. He has the virtues of doing things, such as the talent of managing the army and dismounting the horse and governing the people...
It is actually quite good to cure without doing anything.
But as the saying goes, there are three kilograms of nails in the rotten ship, and Wang Lang is not without talents. The most outstanding one is Yu Fan, who was Gongcao at this time.
Yu Fan, whose courtesy name is Zhongxiang, was the son of Yu Xin, the prefect of Rinan. This person is straightforward and can kill enemies with a spear while getting off the horse. He can tell books and manage classics. He can be said to be both civil and military.
In the Kuaiji County Magistrate's Office, Liu Yao and Wang Lang sat in high positions, and Yan Baihu and others sat in succession. Everyone looked at the man talking in the middle.
"The general's military order has been finished. Please ask the envoy Liu to rise up quickly!" After the man finished speaking, he raised the telegram over his head.
Liu Yao glanced at the left and right and said, "We need to discuss this matter, the special envoy can take a break!"
