Sixty-one people were running through the pear forest, and Yang Anxuan's heart was ups and downs. This ambush of the Wei army in Xiayi was a big gamble, and if you were not careful, you might lose everything.
Originally, Yang Anxuan planned to lead 200 athletes in disguise to Shouyang to assist in the defense. Shouyang city was fortified and deep, and there were more than 2,000 defenders in the city. As long as he could hold on for more than a month, reinforcements from all over would arrive by then, and the Wei army would naturally be defeated.
Unexpectedly, Hua Lian was greedy and feared death and surrendered the city, which forced Yang Anxuan to continue eastward to Xiayi City.
After arriving at Xiayi City, they received strong support from the county magistrate He Qian. After Yang Anxuan and others analyzed the strength of the Wei army, they decided to risk a battle.
Yang Anxuan analyzed: "Changsun Fei crossed the river with 20,000 troops and captured the cities of Yingyang. He divided 6,000 troops and attacked Xuchang with 14,000 troops. The casualties in Xuchang City were about 1,000."
"Immediately afterwards, our army set up an ambush at Zhoutun. The number of casualties and light cavalry was about 1,500, and about 700 or 800 wounded soldiers were left. This way, when the Wei army moved to Fugou, the number of soldiers was less than 11,000."
Hu Fan added: "Changsun Feisheng was afraid that our army would take advantage of the opportunity to recapture Yingyang after returning to Xuchang, so he asked his general to lead nearly half of the army back to support Changshe to garrison. In this way, the Wei army would only have 6,000 men."
"Yes, after the Wei army takes Shouyang, they will definitely leave some troops to garrison. I estimate that the Wei army who came to Xiayi will only be about five thousand." Yang Anxuan said decisively.
He Qian smiled and said: "If the Wei army is less than five thousand, they can completely defend the city and wait for reinforcements."
Yang Anxuan said: "Shouyang has been captured. Only Pengcheng can rescue Xiayi. Qingzhou has insufficient troops. Liu Governor is afraid that he is powerless. The only way out is to save himself." Chinese website
Several people agreed to let He Qian pretend to surrender, and Hua Lian entered the city to persuade him to surrender, which was what everyone wanted.
When Yu Fei was wandering around, he visited Xiayi. He suffered from abdominal pain and diarrhea due to eating pears and mutton together. He rested for two days before recovering. When he remembered this, he told the story.
He Qian laughed and said: "General Yu doesn't know something. Mutton is warm in nature and pear meat is cold in nature. The two are incompatible with each other. It is not advisable to eat too much at the same time, otherwise it will cause diarrhea and abdominal pain (not sure whether it is true or not, the writing is set)."
Yang Anxuan's eyes lit up and he said: "In this case, when the Wei army arrives, Magistrate He might as well send a large number of crisp pears and reward the army with mutton."
Everyone praised it.
When the Wei army arrived, He Qian went out to meet him and saw that the total number of the Wei army was indeed only five or six thousand, and he felt a lot more at ease.
According to the plan, they offered crisp pears and rewarded the army with mutton. As expected, the Wei army did not check, and nearly half of them suffered from diarrhea and abdominal pain.
He Qian took the initiative to plead guilty when he came to the military camp. Changsun Fei learned from the military doctor that the problem was not serious and thought it was due to gluttony among the soldiers, so he followed He Qian to Zhujiazhuang.
Yang Anxuan used smoke to trap Changsun Fei and others in Zhujiazhuang. He stopped asking about the battle situation and left them to Meng Longfu and Hu Fan.
Seeing dust billowing from a distance, Yang Anxuan and his men hid in the forest. After half a stick of incense, the Wei army from the brigade ran across the path and headed towards Zhujiazhuang.
Zhujiazhuang is only more than ten miles away from Xiayi City. If the weather is fine, the thick smoke billowing in the direction of Zhujiazhuang will definitely alert the Wei army in Xiayi City.
Yang Anxuan saw that the number of Wei troops running past was about a thousand. The Wei troops were transferred away as expected, so there were only about three thousand Wei troops in Xiayi City.
Most of these three thousand people suffered from abdominal pain and diarrhea, and their combat strength was greatly weakened. Yang Anxuan stood up, looked at Pao Yi who stood up next to him, and laughed loudly: "This is the time when a man makes great contributions."
At the top of Xiayi City, Dahajian looked worriedly at the billowing black smoke in the southeast, feeling as if his heart was on fire.
The thick smoke started from the direction of Zhujiazhuang. There is no need to ask whether Lu Xianggong was attacked. But until now, no one has come back to report. Could it be that they can't even report a breakout? Where did this group of enemy troops come from? They clearly sent reconnaissance cavalry to sweep them. After exploring a radius of twenty miles, no trace of the enemy was found.
There are only about 200 residents in Zhujiazhuang. Even if the elderly and children are gathered together, there are only more than a thousand people. Mr. Lu Xiang has brought more than a thousand horses, how can he be trapped by them.
Puzzling for a hundred times, Dahajian did not dare to neglect, and urgently dispatched a thousand people from the city and camp to Zhujiazhuang for rescue. Changsun Fei is a close official of the emperor. If he makes a mistake, most of his people will be sent to the north as slaves.
remaining soldiers
Most of them suffered from diarrhea and abdominal pain, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. There were less than 300 Wei troops who could mount the city to defend.
Dahajian ordered the city gates to be closed and the people in the city were not allowed to enter or exit. Only the west gate was left open to respond to the garrison at any time.
At this time, Yang Anxuan appeared in the southeast with his people. Dahajian saw a group of people in Wei army uniforms running towards them from a distance, and quickly asked someone to call them to come closer and answer.
Dahajian was anxious about the news about Chang Sun Fei. He saw that there were only fifty or sixty people coming, so he was a little careless.
When Yang Anxuan and others approached, covered in blood, Dahajian realized something was wrong. Although these people were wearing Wei army leather armor, their faces and the posture under their helmets were clearly wrong.
"Stop, who are you?" Dahajian asked loudly, pulling out the scimitar from his waist.
At this time, they were only ten steps away. Yang Anxuan's vision was seen through, and he drew his sword and rushed towards Dahajian.
The personal guards beside Dahajian protected him behind him. Yang Anxuan knew that he had to fight quickly, otherwise when the Wei army surrounded him, the lives of his own people would be difficult to save.
The steel knife in his hand flashed, cutting off the steel knife in Wei Jun's hand. While his opponent was stunned, the steel knife penetrated through the armor and spurted out blood.
The men behind him were all like wolves and tigers. They relied on the sharp swords in their hands to knock down more than a dozen Wei soldiers in a matter of seconds.
There was no longer any obstacle in front of Yang Anxuan. He walked in front of Dahajian and raised his knife to chop off Dahajian's head.
Dahajian's mind was taken away and he had no fighting spirit. He swayed back and shouted loudly: "Come quickly and capture this group of thieves."
How could Yang Anxuan let him escape? He tapped his toes on the ground, jumped up, and stabbed Dahajian in the back of the heart with a knife.
Dahajian heard the strong wind behind him and hurriedly dodged to the left. The steel knife blew a string of sparks on the armor, and Dahajian was so frightened that he left his body.
A Wei soldier beside him pointed his gun at Yang Anxuan, and Dahajian hurriedly ran forward.
Yang Anxuan had no intention of entangling him. He swayed to the right and stuck the gun in the space on his left rib. Yang Anxuan stretched out his left hand to grab the gun barrel and bent it hard. The gun was arched high.
When he let go, the gun rebounded. The Wei Jun couldn't stand, staggered and fell backwards, hit Dahajian's back, and knocked Dahajian diagonally into the battlement.
Before Dahajian could stand up straight, Yang Anxuan had already stepped forward, raised his knife and pierced Dahajian's back of the heart, then drew the knife and chopped off his head.
Holding Dahajian's head in his hands, Yang Anxuan shouted loudly: "Gong Lu Xiang is dead, the Jin army has arrived, and the Wei army has been defeated."
The soldiers beside him shouted, "The Wei people have been defeated, and Changsun Fei is dead."
When the Wei army saw Daha Jian's head, their momentum was weakened, and they were driven away by Yang Anxuan and others and fled in confusion.
Xiayi County Lieutenant Li Shen arrived with hundreds of soldiers. Yang Anxuan shouted: "Du Tinghou and Guangwei General Yang Anxuan came with their troops, but they didn't help me to kill the enemy."
Li Shen was stunned for a moment, then his face became happy and he promised loudly: "I obey my orders. Brothers, kill Suonu."
With the help of the soldiers in the city, Yang Anxuan was like a tiger with added power, killing the Wei army corpses everywhere.
Immediately, under the leadership of Li Shen, Yang Anxuan led his army towards the Wei camp in the city. The Wei soldiers in the camp were weak from diarrhea and were killed like melons and vegetables.
Dahajian ordered the three city gates to be closed. Yang Anxuan sent people to guard the west gate and catch turtles in the urns. Only a hundred Wei troops escaped.
The sound of killings in the city was loud, and the smell of blood filled the air. The people were frightened and restless. They hid in their homes and listened to the noise outside. Some people lay behind the doors and looked out through the cracks.
The Wei army had been cleared, Yang Anxuan ordered the city gates to be closed, and asked Li Shen to lead people to sound gongs to summon the elders in the city to gather in front of the county government office, announcing that reinforcements from the court had arrived.
Yang Anxuan ordered people to cut off the heads of Wei soldiers and pile them in front of the county government office. More than a thousand heads were piled six high in the capital.
People began to gather in the square in front of the county government office. They looked at the crowds of people in horror or excitement, whispering to each other to find out the news. There were different opinions and people were uneasy.
Less than half an hour later, Li Shen stood on the steps and shouted loudly: "Dear fellow villagers, General Yang Anxuan of Dutinghou and Guangwei has come with his army and has killed all the Wei troops in the city. I would like to ask General Yang to speak to you."
Yang Anxuan stepped forward with a sword in hand, glanced at everyone, and shouted: "
The fool was Yang Anxuan, who had rescued Luoyang twice. This time he led his army to rescue Xiayi, but all the Wei troops in the city had been killed. "
There was a buzz of buzzing comments, and Yang Anxuan waited for a moment before continuing to shout: "Everyone, I came to rescue Xiayi this time. The accompanying troops are insufficient. The main force is still fighting fiercely with the Wei army in the Zhujiazhuang area. The outcome is unpredictable. "
"What? We don't know the outcome yet. If the Wei army wins and returns, we will not be alive."
"Let's quickly go to Zhujiazhuang to return reinforcements and kill these Hulu."
"Amitabha, Buddha bless you and take refuge from disasters."
"There are thousands of Wei troops outside the city. We killed their people in the city. If we attack the city, will our lives be saved?"
"Escape for your life quickly. You might still survive if you escape from the city."...
Yang Anxuan shouted loudly, the sound was like thunder, and everyone was shocked into silence.
I heard Yang Anxuan shout in a cold voice: "The Hu people are ferocious. When they learn that the Wei army in the city has been killed, they will definitely take revenge. The only way to save lives is to work together to kill the Wei army outside the city. If you are a man, take up arms." Follow Yu out of the city to kill the enemy."
After saying that, Yang Anxuan drew his knife and struck at Jingguan beside him. The heads suddenly scattered and blood sprayed everywhere.
Li Shen then drew his sword and shouted: "Kill Suonu and protect your family."
The soldiers waved their weapons and shouted, and the square was filled with shouts. The crowd was aroused by the shouts, and the shouts became louder and louder, spreading in all directions.
Asking the soldiers to distribute the captured swords, guns, and leather armor to the people, Yang Anxuan continued to shout: "The Wei army came all the way east, robbed countless treasures, and hid them in the camp. After killing the Wei army, the treasures were left to your disposal. After the war, I will report to the emperor. I’m here to take credit for you brave warriors.”
There was chaos in the Wei camp outside the city. The Wei soldiers who fled back brought back news that Dahajian had been killed and that Jin troops appeared in the city.
Changsun Fei, Dai Mang, Dahajian and other generals were not there, and the remaining small leaders were unable to command the entire army. Everyone quarreled. Some said they would go to Zhujiazhuang to join the army, some said they would take back Xiayi City first, and some said they would go to Zhujiazhuang to join the army. He said that he would stick to the camp and wait for Duke Lu Xiang to return.
At the time of Shen Zheng, the west gate of Xiayi City opened, and Yang Anxuan led more than 2,000 people out of the city and headed towards the Wei camp.
