Chapter 319 Black Whirlwind Breaks the Horse and Blocks the River(1/2)
Chapter 319 The black whirlwind breaks the horse and blocks the river
On September 24th, Cao Cao personally led the army and fought out from the Taiyue Mountains, like a tiger emerging from its cage. In one day, it attacked Pingyao and Qixian cities, shaking the middle of Shanxi Province.
Cao Cao asked the Qi County garrison to examine him carefully. He learned that Tian Hu led an army of 100,000 men and was about to besiege Taiyuan. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Since he has not gone to Taiyuan, he will be defeated by me."
At that moment, he summoned all the generals and said: "Soldiers need to be quick. Don't wait until Tian Hu knows that our army has arrived - tomorrow the army will march directly to Taigu County, and then go north to block Tian Hu's return. We just have to prevent him from escaping by the Fen River.
We need to send another partial force to the northwest to attack Qingyuan County. Which brother are you waiting for willing to go?"
When all the generals heard this, they all scrambled to be the first. Li Kui was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and shouted: "Don't fight. How many achievements have you made by following your brother in the south and north? Niu Gao and I are the only ones here. This achievement can't be achieved."
It has to be both of us."
Niu Gao helped: "Yes, we and I will lead the army and attack this bird city to dedicate it to my brother."
Cao Cao hesitated slightly after hearing this, and thought to himself: These two are a bit reckless, and they don't know the way. If they can't succeed in time, they will miss my important mission.
At this time, Niu Wenzhong saw his worries and stood up in a hurry and said attentively: "Brother, are you worried that the two brothers do not know geography? If so, you might as well let Yu Yulin be a deputy general. He is a ghost here and he can help you."
, it must be foolproof.”
This was what Cao Cao wanted. After hearing this, Cao Cao nodded repeatedly and said happily: "Brother Wenzhong's plan solves my worries! That's all, I asked Brother Yu to go with him." He immediately ordered three thousand people and handed them over to the three commanders.
.
The next day, both armies came out. As expected, "General Xiong Wei" Yu Yulin was familiar with the road. He walked on the road for a while, then led Li Kui and Niu Gao into the forest and took a shortcut. There were dense trees in the forest and the road
But he was quite good at it. When the sun set at dusk, he had already reached the territory of Qingyuan. He could only hear the sound of rumbling water, like bursts of muffled thunder. Li Kui exclaimed: "What a loud sound of water, it must be the sound of water."
What kind of bird is Fenshui?"
Why did Cao Cao rush to attack this city? It is precisely because the Fen River flows from north to south, passes through Taiyuan to Qingyuan, and then flows south again. You must know that the Fen River is the largest water system in Shanxi, and its flow is quite turbulent.
With the first control in hand, Tian Hu can escape from the water and directly meet Tian Bao, but then there will inevitably be side problems.
Li Kui looked out of the forest and saw that there was indeed a huge stream of water. Although it was not as majestic as the Yangtze River, nor as turbulent as the Yellow River, it still had its own extraordinary atmosphere as the white waves rushed out and rushed bravely through the high and low mountains and forests.
But what surprised him even more than the water was that there was a long team by the water, slowly heading north along the Fen River. If he looked closely, he saw many fierce generals, escorting tens of thousands of men and women.
They marched in series with long ropes. If anyone walked slower, they would be beaten hard with guns and whips. If anyone resisted, they would be killed immediately. As the team marched, the people's cries shook the ground.
When Li Kui saw it, he was furious and said: "Ah, I have heard my mother talk about it since I was a child, but now I have really seen it. It turns out that Liao dogs are like birds when they beat grass and grains."
Niu Gao also got angry and said, "Has the Liao dog invaded? Just ask me to use my mace to make a profit."
Yu Yulin was shocked when he heard this. He immediately stopped the team and rushed to the front to take a look. When he saw the unfamiliar uniforms of the generals, he couldn't laugh or cry. He quickly explained: "Two eldest brothers, wait a minute. We are still three hundred miles away from Yanmen Pass. Where can we go?"
The Liao dogs here? These are all Tian Hu’s subordinates."
Li Kui asked curiously: "But he is a bird monster. Although Tian Hu rebels, he is usually a Han. What is the use of arresting these common people now?"
Niu Gao guessed: "Is it because Taiyuan is difficult to defeat, so he captured these people and rushed to the city to use them to consume the strength of the defenders?"
When Li Kui heard this, his strange eyes widened, and he screamed strangely: "This Tian Hu behaves like this, so vicious. If I don't chop off his bird's head, I won't be sorry for these two bird axes!"
He was about to rush out to fight, but was grabbed by Yu Yulin: "Brother Tieniu, we only have three thousand people. He can only see six or seven thousand people. There must be more in front and behind. If we are defeated and lose our lives, it won’t matter, but wouldn’t it be bad if we miss my brother’s big event?”
Niu Gao took the opportunity and joked: "Brother Yu's words are true. Brother Tieniu is also reckless. At this time, we can't just rely on our strength. We must use a strategy to show that our brothers are both civil and military."
Li Kui frowned and said: "Logically speaking, you and I can both write good poems, so we can be said to be both civilized and martial arts experts. However, when it comes to strategy, I am still inferior. Do you have any clever ideas now?"
Niu Gao said proudly: "I have followed Brother Wu to fight many times, but I have gained nothing. Now the only thing I fear is that I am outnumbered. If I am outnumbered, what else can I fear?"
Li Kui laughed after hearing this and said, "What a clever plan! We are outnumbered and they are the ones to be afraid of!"
The two of them sang in harmony, and Yu Yulin was dumbfounded. What a clever plan? Brother Niu arranged for me to come with great difficulty. He thought that I could make some contributions and establish myself under Wu Mengde's command, but he didn't ask me to die.
He couldn't help but cough, and asked Dong Dong: "Two elder brothers, please forgive the younger brother for being stupid. I can't wait for these three thousand people. How can we become the enemy of the few?"
Niu Gao said with a lively voice: "I don't blame you for not knowing. After all, not everyone has the talents of me and Brother Tieniu. Otherwise, how could Immortal Bao only accept the two of me as his apprentices? Listen to me, I will be equally divided. For the third team, they fought like this, shouted like this, and supported like this..."
He told the whole story about his plan, and Yu Yulin became more and more shocked as he listened - it sounded like a decent plan! I just thought to myself, Wu Mengde's men are really hiding dragons and crouching tigers, these two reckless men can actually come up with this. Waiting for the plan, if it is another powerful one, why can't you fly into the sky and escape?
Let us also say that these Jinzhong bandit troops outside were all under the command of the puppet commander Zhang Xiong. They were under the command of General Tian Hu and plundered the nearby people to build dams and mountains in order to force the Fen River to flow back into Taiyuan.
His army set out early and was unaware of Tian Hu's defeat. It worked diligently to capture the people in the city and was about to take them to the Gaobu area they had been optimistic about earlier to start construction.
The large group of people were walking when suddenly a big black man rushed out of the path in the forest nearby. This big man didn't care about the cool autumn. He had already stripped naked from top to bottom, only wearing a pair of armor to cover his heart, and a steel needle, which was better than an iron broom's cheeks. Bearded, holding a huge ax in each hand, he shouted: "How dare the bandits under Tian Hu bully the people? Brothers of the scout team, follow me!"
While roaring, he ran away wildly. Behind him, more than a hundred elite soldiers shot out from the forest, shouting in unison: "Brothers of the scout team, kill the thieves and save the people."
While he was talking, Li Kui rushed forward and slashed horizontally and vertically with two big axes, causing a bloody storm.
There were several thieves in Jinzhong, including Yajiang and others. Seeing that Li Kui didn't have many people, he immediately ordered his troops to surround him.
Li Kui was overjoyed when he saw it. He grinned and said, "Good men, good men, they should fight like this. Whoever escapes first will lose his asshole." He shouted and rolled up his axes in his hands.
In the strong wind, the leader of the queue was cut off, and more than a hundred Song troops behind him followed him closely to fight, rushing left and right, killing several groups of thieves in an instant.
One of the thieves, the commander named Xiang Zhong, received word from his subordinates and hurriedly led dozens of soldiers to fly over. When they saw Li Kui killing the thieves like he was chopping melons and vegetables, how could he be allowed to be so unbridled? He immediately became furious.
He shouted: "You black guy, please stop being so crazy. Do you recognize General Xiang Zhong?"
After saying this, he grabbed the horse's belly, and the war horse Herod rushed forward. Xiang Zhong straightened his back on the horse, holding the snake spear and getting ready to go.
When fighting a horse on foot, what matters is dodging, maneuvering, and using skill to overcome clumsiness. Li Kui has rich experience in this area, so he is naturally not afraid of him. However, at this time, Niu Gao's previous warning rang in his ears: "Brother Tieniu, the key to this battle is
As for you, you are the first one to go up and fight, and you must show off your power and strike fear into the hearts of others. Only then will this plan succeed."
That’s it! Let’s see Tieniu show his majesty!
Li Kui set his heart straight, stood firmly on the ground with his feet, slightly bent his legs, arched his waist, and his eight-foot-long body was like an old bear standing upright, neither hiding nor giving way, his eyes were tight.
Staring closely at the incoming general, an evil spirit was rising all over his body.
Xiang Zhong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that he didn't dodge. He thought where did this stuff come from? Even if you are an iron-made King Kong, you can't even think of stopping the galloping horse! When he saw it approaching, he gave a sharp shout and used the strength of the galloping horse.
, suddenly thrust out the snake spear in his hand.
What a black whirlwind! Seeing him stabbing with the snake spear, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, his left leg suddenly took half a step away, and the ax in his left hand was raised, but with a loud bang, his snake spear had already been knocked away, and his right leg was bent.
, the big ax in his right hand walked with him, rolled it down, and with a puff, cut off half of the horse's left front leg!
At this time, if he gave way, the horse would fall down, and the enemy would be knocked unconscious if not dead. However, Li Kui was determined to "show his majesty", and Mu Ran let out a tiger roar, stamped his feet fiercely, and twisted his waist.
Turning the wrists - he was originally in a half-crouched position beside the horse, with half of his body under the horse's belly. This time he stretched his legs and twisted his waist. He raised his strength from the ground, flipped the two axes, and lifted them wildly from the bottom up.
When he came up, the horse followed his axe, but saw a burst of blood. The galloping horse was split into three pieces in the air, and the hot horse blood exploded in all directions.
His move was so wonderful that if he were even half a step slower, his body would be carried by the horse's hind legs, and injuries would be inevitable. If he had less strength or a smaller axe, it would be impossible to cut a war horse into three pieces.
cut.
The ax in his left hand struck from the base of the front leg and struck out from the horse's back. The ax in his right hand struck from the edge of the hind leg and struck out from the buttocks. The body of the horse in the middle was lifted half a foot high by his huge force, and a man sitting on it was intact.
The unharmed Xiang Zhong was dumbfounded, as if he were a fool.
Plop!
The horse's body fell to the ground, and Xiang Zhong sat blankly on the saddle, looking at Li Kui, his body trembling as if he had seen a ghost.
Even with Li Kui's strange strength, he felt that all the energy in his body was gone when he used this axe. Fortunately, at this time, the enemy soldiers and generals were all shocked and stared at him blankly.
Li Kui took a few quick breaths, then calmed his breathing a little, then swung the ax lightly, and with a click, he cut off Xiang Zhong's head.
From the beginning to the end, Xiang Zhong showed no intention of resisting, dodging or struggling. He was just like a lamb under the claws of a tiger, just waiting to die.
Li Kui's ax killed not only a horse, but also the soul of Xiang Zhong and the courage of more than a thousand enemy troops around him.
Li Kui beheaded Xiang Zhong. He felt his arms were bulging and sore. He had to resist the urge to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Xiang Zhong. He looked across with a pair of fierce eyes. Wherever he glanced, the thieves fell to their knees.
At this time, the palace commander Zhang Xiong was in front, and the other commander-in-chief Xu Yue was behind. They each heard the report. They heard that a group of Song army scouts came out and killed Xiang Zhong. More than a thousand people surrendered. They were all shocked, regardless of the bindings.
The common people each led the troops in front and behind, and killed the coming troops from both sides.
Li Kui saw the troops and horses approaching from behind and behind him, his arms were tired and unable to move, and he couldn't help but groan secretly. At this time, Yu Yulin's horse came out of the forest, followed by nearly two thousand people, and shouted in unison: "The vanguard army has arrived.
The Chinese army brigade will arrive shortly!"
Li Kui took the opportunity to shout: "Those who surrender will be spared the death penalty and throw away their weapons. Those who refuse to surrender will suffer the consequences of my grandpa's ten thousand axes!" Those soldiers and people who surrendered all fled to the river to hide. When Zhang Xiong saw his troops
After the battle, Jiangjun remained obedient, and he couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
However, there was no hesitation at this time. He and Xu Yue were fighting from both sides. In the middle, Yu Yulin gritted his teeth and fought to the death with his gun. Zhang Xiong shouted: "General Xiong Wei, you actually surrendered to the dog court. You are a traitor. I will kill you."
Kill him."
Yu Yulin replied: "My master, General Wu Jiedu, has come with 80,000 soldiers and horses to kill you. You are already a ghost waiting to die. Why are you so boastful?"
After that, he raised his gun to fight Zhang Xiong. He was one of the four mighty generals under Iron Dragonfly. Although he was no match for masters like Lu Junyi and Du Bo, he was not timid at all against Zhang Xiong. The two guns went back and forth.
, but it is also true that he has met his opponent.
After fighting for a while, the Song army was gradually losing ground due to the small number of people. Li Kui was anxious. Looking back, the surrendering troops were secretly winking at each other. Obviously, if the battle situation was unfavorable, they would raise their knives and sneak into the battle group.
There was a surrender.
Li Kui secretly complained: Although I made a powerful killing, it seems that I killed a little too early. The enemy's troops did not see my powerful force. Should I kill another powerful person?
At this moment, there was a loud shout in the forest, and the trees were shaking one after another. It seemed that there were thousands of troops and horses inside, but more than a thousand people inside were heard shouting in unison: "Brothers, vanguard, don't panic, the main force of the Chinese army has arrived.
.”
The bandits in Jinzhong were shocked when they heard this. Zhang Xiong shouted: "The army of officers and soldiers has arrived, I'll leave as soon as possible!" He waved his gun and swung Yu Yulin's sword away, then rode away on horseback.
