Chapter 202
Wen Dadao versus She Hua Rong
A group of soldiers hesitated slightly - they instinctively felt that these people came with bad intentions, but the king Li Cheng had been in charge of Daming Mansion for more than ten years and had great prestige. How could the mere soldiers dare to gamble with his life?
After this hesitation, Cao Cao and others had already arrived in front of the door. A member of the army stepped forward and blocked him: "Wait a minute, you still have to wait for the waist card..." Halfway through, the sword flashed, and Cao Cao's Heavenly Sword He took out the sheath and chopped off their heads with one sword.
Xu Guanzhong and others all gave up and left Li Cheng alone. They all used their weapons and killed all the soldiers in an instant, leaving corpses all over the field.
Lu Fang and Guo Sheng jumped off their horses, pushed open the other half of the door, waved to the flying cavalry, then got on their horses and followed Cao Cao to kill inside. The flying cavalry behind them rolled into the city like a torrent.
Cao Cao said loudly: "Guan Zhong leads the way, first to the Remaining Division, and then to the Prefect's Mansion."
The left-behind department was the yamen where Liang Zhongshu worked. He was in charge of the army and the people, and his power was overwhelming. The prefect's office was the territory of the prefect Wang, who was regarded as the second most powerful figure in the city.
Xu Guanzhong took the lead and led these 1,500 flying horses through the streets and alleys, alarming the people on the streets. They all fled to both sides in a daze, saying in shock: "How can the army gallop in the city? Are the Liao people attacking?"
When the people at the city gate saw that many officers and soldiers had been killed, they hurriedly said: "It's terrible, the thieves must have entered the city. Report it to the officials quickly."
There are also those who are brave enough to see the corpse of a general on the ground in the distance. The armor is unusual. When he gets closer, he sees that it is the famous Li Tianwang. He was hit by an arrow in the head and trampled by a horse. He is already dead. It's thorough.
He was so frightened that he fell to the ground and exclaimed: "King Li Tian will eat the thief and kill him!"
When everyone heard this and knew it was a big disaster, they immediately screamed. Some people hurried back home and closed their doors. Others had important people to worry about and ran to inform the protectors. In general, there was a big chaos and they quickly rushed to the city. Spread the word.
But it was said that Cao Cao and others fought all the way to the left-behind department, only to see the gate open, and the servants inside were running around. Lu Fang leaped forward on his horse, knocked down a gentleman who looked like Yu Hou with a halberd, and shouted: "Where is Liang Zhongshu? ?”
The Marquis of Yu quickly raised his hand and pointed: "Just now, a spy horse came to report that unknown soldiers and horses had killed the army and entered the city. Mr. Zhongshu rushed to the military camp in a hurry."
When Cao Cao heard this, he frowned and made a decisive decision: "I'm not going to the prefect's mansion. I'm going to the military camp first!"
Xu Guanzhong said: "The military camp is in the west of the city. There are only a few thousand people stationed there. There are four military camps, all located ten or twenty miles outside the city."
He immediately rushed to the west of the city. At this time, someone reported to the prefect's mansion. The prefect was a weak scholar. He was so frightened that he didn't know where the troops were. He was also afraid that people would come to behead him, so he simply brought a few close men with him. They all changed into plain clothes and fled out of the house to hide in danger.
But Liang Zhongshu was Cai Jing's son-in-law. He relied on his father-in-law's power to stay in Daming Mansion in Beijing. This time the imperial court's expedition to Liangshan was originally a two-pronged expedition from the north to the south. It was Cai Jing who signaled to Gao Qiu that Daming Mansion also send 5,000 troops. Tian is the third way, which means to help the son-in-law make meritorious deeds.
In terms of his own talents, although he is not very capable, he is still alert and aware of opportunities.
Li Cheng sent someone to report the previous time, claiming that thousands of bandits from Liangshan were invading. He said something like "the grassroots bandits in Shuibo don't know whether to live or die. They stayed behind and sat high in the mansion to see if we could kill the enemy and return the favor." Liang Zhongshu felt that Li Cheng somewhat underestimated the enemy, so he specially sent a trusted general to lead an army of 500 horses directly under him to assist, and told Li Cheng to be careful.
Then he ordered the four gate guards to strictly check the entrance and exit, and sent people to patrol around the city to prevent a small group of Liangshan bandits from sneaking into the city and causing trouble.
Fortunately, with this arrangement, when Cao Cao and others entered the city, there happened to be a scout horse not far away, and they rushed to report. Liang Zhongshu was shocked and decisively fled to the west camp of the city - another military capital in Beijing.
Wen Da, the supervisor of "Da Dao", was in charge of this camp.
The left-behind prime minister rushed to the military camp in panic. Wen Da hurriedly came to pick him up. After hearing his explanation, he couldn't help frowning and said: "Mr. En, if it weren't for Wen's entrustment, the hay bandits in Liangshan had to hide in the water. How dare you
Are you going to fight against my soldiers and horses? Li Cheng's ability is well known to Enxiang. He has an army of five thousand and a tiger general like Suo Chao. Even an army of tens of thousands of thieves can be defeated with one blow. How can he defeat it?
Something went wrong?”
Liang Zhongshu was furious when he heard this and cursed: "How brave! All the generals are as arrogant as you, so they raise those grass bandits to run rampant! Liang's cronies saw with their own eyes that one or two thousand of his horse troops killed the troops and rushed in.
, Could it be that I came here specifically to deceive you?"
Wen Da did not dare to argue with his superiors, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "The favor must be correct... Well, the general thought - it must be the group of grass bandits who sent a partial force, accidentally hit and bypassed the flying army."
Huyu came in. Prime Minister En sat high in the camp, and then ordered his troops to go to battle. When all the heads of the hay bandits were cut off, they were hung on the top of the city to calm the people."
Liang Zhongshu finally stopped his anger and told him: "Only victory is allowed, no defeat is allowed!"
Hearing Danonuo's repeated words, he immediately ordered the military academies to prepare, leaving 500 people to guard the barracks, while the rest went out to fight.
As soon as the camp gate opened and they walked less than half a mile, they met Cao Cao and others rushing towards them. Wen Da was shocked and said: "Mother, are there really grass bandits coming to invade? Why are they all wearing my military uniforms?"
Then he shouted loudly, raised his sword and pointed at it: "Hey! Who are you? How dare you run around in the city? Who is leading the army?"
Cao Cao ignored him and whispered: "Shoot him!"
When Hua Rong heard this, he raised his hand and fired an arrow. Hearing this, Da was startled and swung his sword to block the arrow.
When Shi Wengong saw this, he also drew his iron bow and shot an arrow. Hearing Da's sword, he blocked the way and blocked it again. He shouted in shock: "You are seeking death!"
Hua Rong shouted: "Solley!" There were more than a thousand archers behind him. Those in front fired directly, and those behind the team fired in the air. Hearing Da was shocked, his sword danced wildly, covering the air from the wind and rain, but the general behind him was
Disaster struck, a wave of arrows could not kill more than a hundred people.
Wen Da shouted: "Retreat, retreat!"
All the troops retreated into the camp in a chaotic manner, and many were shot dead on the way. Wen Da stood in the back, wielding his sword alone. Before Cao Cao and others could rush in, he also retreated into the camp and closed the door tightly.
Cao Cao immediately rode outside the camp and frowned and said: "Looking at how he wields his sword, he is a brave general. Brother Lu Fang, please go to the city gate quickly and pick up the infantry from behind." Lu Fang heard this and patted his horse.
Wen Da was defeated and retreated into the camp. He counted his troops and lost more than two hundred people.
Liang Zhongshu had just sat down and had not taken a sip of tea when he learned that Wen Da had been defeated. He was furious and came out and cursed: "Wen Da Dao, you and Li Cheng often boasted that they were brave enough to be unstoppable by ten thousand men. What happened now?"
?One can let the bandits enter the city, and the other can't even get out of the camp gate. Is this how brave you are?"
Wen Da blushed and defended: "Enxiang was really caught off guard, and the opponent was an elite soldier who could ride and shoot, so he suffered a loss. Don't worry about Enxiang. His riding bow can't reach far. Don't I have one here?"
Are you a good archer?"
Immediately, he ordered a thousand archers to climb up the wall of the stronghold and shoot back the enemy. The rest of the army lined up at the gate and selected a few brave generals to take the lead. They agreed that as soon as the enemy's formation collapsed, they would open the door and charge and defeat them in one go.
After the arrangements were made, he angrily took a big bow and shouted: "Those guys shot me two arrows. Wouldn't it be rude if I didn't return them to him?"
Liang Zhongshu stood aside, seeing Wenda's arrangements in order, suppressing his anger and watching the results.
Hua Rong outside said with a sneer: "This guy has suffered this loss. He will definitely use the towering wall of the village to shoot at me. But I, the flying knight brothers, are we afraid of him?" Then the order was sent, and the Qianwu flying knights were all called first.
Move back, dismount and change your bow.
This group of flying cavalry all carry two bows with them, one is a shorter horn bow for riding and shooting, and the other is a long mulberry wood bow for walking and shooting.
After the officers and soldiers were coaxed onto the wall, the flying cavalry also stood in two rows. The generals of both sides gave orders at the same time. Both sides bent their bows and set arrows, and shot towards each other with all their strength.
But when the bowstrings vibrated and arrows flew, the officers and soldiers on the wall fell instantly. Hua Rong's flying cavalry only hit less than one-third of the arrows as many as those on the opposite side, and most of them were injured.
When Wen Da saw it, he was dumbfounded: "Damn it, I'm superior to him, and my manpower is about the same. How come I can't shoot him?"
Little did he know that Hua Rong's flying cavalry were all carefully selected people who were good at riding and shooting, and Fang Yun joined him. He was strict in selecting people, taught archery skills carefully, and even the bows and arrows used by the army were all Cao Cao's
No expense was spared in the work, and the one purchased was of high quality. In terms of range alone, it was at least ten steps farther than the archers of the officers and soldiers.
Moreover, the archers are all lightly armored, but this group of flying cavalry are wearing the armor of Li Cheng's cavalry in order to deceive others. Their attack power and defensive power are both better than those of the other side. How can Wen Da and An be invincible?
After only a few rounds of shooting, Wen Da's archers were already broken in half. Which of the remaining archers dared to take the lead? They all huddled behind the parapet to avoid arrows.
When Wen Da saw the anger rising, he suddenly stood up, drew the bow in his hand like a full moon, and shot an arrow at Shi Wengong.
When Hua Rong saw it, he shouted: "How dare you fire a cold arrow? Let's recognize the Huarong Divine Arrow!" He shot an arrow with all his strength. The arrow was fast and powerful. Wen Da hurriedly swung his bow to hit it. There was a click, and the back of the bow suddenly fell into pieces.
.
Shi Wengong, with a gentle move of his hand, caught Wen Da's arrow and reflected it back on his own bow.
Wen Da broke his bow while eating Huarong. He was very discouraged. Seeing the enemy arrows coming again, he quickly jumped under the wall. However, he heard a crack and all the soldiers exclaimed in unison. Wen Da stretched out his hand and touched the red tassel on his helmet.
Shooting down, his face turned pale immediately.
There are different teachings: I have always praised the glory of flowers with my divine arrows, and I am also fond of Wen Gong's outstanding shooting skills. The flying cavalry under his command are all tiger warriors, and the generals in the stronghold are like chickens and insects.
Sorry, brothers, I wrote too slowly. I only got one chapter this morning, and I will add it later.
Chapter completed!
