Outside Beihai City, Liu Yi was worrying about attacking Beihai. Suddenly he heard that Cheng Xi had been defeated. He was shocked and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to attack the city urgently.
Gongsun Yang advised: "Beihai City is strong. It was besieged by Yellow Turban thieves back then. Kong Rong and other successive governors have repaired it many times. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Generals should not act on their own initiative."
Liu Yi said angrily: "Why do you care about personal grudges? Now that Cheng Xi is defeated, if we don't break the city when Zhou Yu comes, and the Wu army takes Beihai, not only will our previous efforts be wasted, but we will also be restricted in taking Qingzhou."
Gongsun Yang said: "Even if Zhou Yu captures Beihai, Wu's army is also aiming at Xuzhou. If we go north to join the lord, what's the harm in giving up the south of the river to Soochow?"
Liu Yi sneered and said: "The military advisor has traveled to the Central Plains for many years, but you still don't know that the people in the Central Plains are deceitful and untrustworthy? Especially the people in Jiangdong are all very different, and they are even less trustworthy. If you really regard Zhou Yu as an ally, I am afraid that not only will you not be able to make contributions, but you will also die abroad."
Gongsun Yang was shocked and said: "Zhou Yu is a famous person today and has great abilities. How can he not keep his word?"
Liu Yi said: "Although Zhou Yu is a famous scholar, he is also the commander-in-chief of Jiangdong. Now the world is in turmoil, everyone has his own master. As the saying goes, soldiers are not tired of deceit. If it is for the benefit of Jiangdong, how can he care about the friendship between the two families?"
Gongsun Yang also saw many intrigues among the princes, and sighed: "The general's words are reasonable, but if we attack Beihai, we may lose our troops. If Zhou Yu turns against him and comes to seize it, how should we deal with it?"
Liu Yi snorted coldly in his heart. This Gongsun Yang was called a military advisor, but he was timid and cautious in his actions and lacked judgment. If it weren't for Gongsun's face, he would have been sent back to Liaodong.
At this time, he wanted to attack the city with all his strength, and he needed Gongsun Yang to mobilize the rear support. He just patiently explained: "Cheng Xi's army is defeated, and Tian Yu is already alone. If he waits for the Wu army to reach Beihai, they will only be trapped in the city. I expect that they will have to retreat." I mean, we will leave within a day or two, and this is the time for us to make some achievements."
Gongsun Yang suddenly came to his senses and said with great joy: "General, I think that if we can capture Beihai without any bloodshed before Zhou Yu arrives, our army will take the initiative in Qingzhou."
"Of course!" Liu Yi ordered all battalions to be ready to fight at any time, and sent many scouts to monitor the movements of Beihai. Once Cao Jun showed signs of retreat, he would immediately launch troops to pursue and kill Tian Yu. Tian Yu must not be allowed to retreat unscathed.
He also knew that Gongsun Yang was so frightened by Zhou Yu's name that he was so timid. In fact, in a real confrontation, as long as the troops were used properly, it was nothing more than that.
On that day, the Liaodong Army stormed Beihai and found that Cao Jun's defense was far less compact than the previous few days. Several times the vanguard army almost boarded the city. Liu Yi was secretly happy when he saw this. Cao Jun's army was mentally disturbed and would surely retreat as long as more pressure was exerted.
Early the next morning, Liu Yi was eating in the camp. The entire army was about to launch a fierce attack in half an hour. Suddenly, drums sounded loudly outside the camp gate, and it was Tian Yu who came to challenge him.
Liu Yi was startled. He put on his horse and came to the camp gate. As expected, he saw Tian Yu arriving in person. He said in a deep voice: "Tian Yu takes the initiative to fight. He must be advancing before retreating. I am afraid that the defenders in the city are already retreating, so they will pursue them immediately." .”
After hearing the order, the generals on the left and right immediately divided their troops into three gates and marched straight towards Beihai from a distance.
Tian Yu was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Liu Yi, the dog thief, do you dare to fight to the death with me?"
Liu Yi Hengdao sneered: "Tian Yu, your little tricks are only used to deceive unsuspecting people. How can you deceive me? I will do it to you today!"
When Tian Yu saw Cao's army outflanking him, he finally couldn't hold it any longer. He shouted loudly and clapped his horse, then came out to kill the general. The two had not decided the winner before, but Liu Yi had always been dissatisfied and wanted to kill Tian Yu in front of the formation to gain a reputation for his great power.
The two men clashed in front of the formation, and they fought hard to separate each other. They barely managed to reach more than 20 points. Tian Yu was obviously absent-minded, and his moves gradually became chaotic. He flicked his gun and turned the horse away.
"Tian Yuxiu, let's go!" Liu Yi roared. He was sure to win this time and immediately mobilized his army to charge forward.
Tian Yu was defeated and Cao's army was in chaos. They abandoned their troops and fled back. When they were about to reach the bottom of the city, they saw that the Liaodong Army was already attacking the city. Ladders were set up at the north gate, hooks and ropes were thrown from east to west, and the fighting was fierce.
Tian Yu rode his horse around the city through the east gate. Seeing this, the defenders in the city suddenly opened the south gate and fled one after another following Tian Yu.
Liu Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that the southern city gate was wide open. He didn't care to chase Tian Yu and led his troops into the city first. The most important thing was to capture Beihai City.
Pursuing Tian Yu along the way, only a thousand fine cavalry followed, and the rest of the army was far away. The dull sound of horse hoofs sounded in the city gate, and the Liaodong Army entered the city first.
Liu Yi urged his horse to whip up the whip, and rode into the city. He saw that the defenders had already fled, and there were only a few of them. He was about to rush to the government office, when he suddenly heard the sudden sound of drums above his head, and his heart sank.
Before he could react, the front army suddenly screamed and screamed. The front cavalry suddenly fell down as soon as they crossed the street. It turned out that a horse trap had been dug in the street, and both men and horses fell into it. There was a chaos between men and horses. .
"Retreat, leave quickly!"
Liu Yi didn't expect that there was an ambush in the city. He roared and hurriedly reined in his horse and turned back. The cavalry in front had already huddled together, and people were shouting that their horses were neighing. It was a mess.
"Hahaha, Liu Yi, the thief, you fell into my father's scheme, today is the day you die!"
Tian Pengzu was hiding in the city gate tower and had been waiting for a long time. When he saw that the Liaodong Army not only rushed into the city, Liu Yi also arrived in person. He waved his arms excitedly and roared: "Fire the arrows, let the arrows go -"
The ambushes on the city and rooftops were all out, and the crossbowmen fired arrows together. Arrows rained down on the city, covering all the ground in an instant.
The Liaodong Army was crowded in front and behind, unable to advance or retreat. At this time, arrows rained down, and there was nowhere to hide. Most of them fell to the ground after being hit by arrows. Only a few hurriedly hid in the city gate road, trampling on each other, causing countless casualties.
Liu Yi yelled anxiously and was hit by several arrows. Just as he was about to reach the city gate, he saw the wood and rocks on the city smashing down together, and a waist-thick wooden stake fell on his head. He struggled to push it away. The shock made his blood surge, and his eyes Risk the stars.
At this time, most of the guards around him were shot off their horses. Liu Yi endured the pain and beat the horses to seize the city gate. He saw the soldiers huddled together and yelled at the rear troops to go out, but he heard screams outside the city.
It turned out that Tian Yu had already led his troops back, blocked the city gate, and shot the Liaodong Army who was about to withdraw with random arrows, so that there was no conflict at all.
In the midst of the chaos, countless firewood suddenly fell on the city, mixed with the smell of sulfur and kerosene. Liu Yi was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he could no longer care about commanding the soldiers, so he forced his horse to charge forward.
But at the same time, firewood was thrown down at the gate of the outer city, fire arrows and torches fell from the sky, raging fires were ignited at the gate of the inner and outer city, and the war horses were frightened and neighed.
At the same time, the soldiers who had no time to escape caught fire and squeezed into the city gate. The flames were soon introduced. The Liaodong Army was burned to the point of screaming, and the smell of burnt flesh was pungent and unpleasant.
Liu Yi roared low and stabbed the horse's butt with the handle of his gun. The horse felt pain and ran wildly, rushing out from the thick smoke and flames.
The men and horses crossed the wall of fire, but Liu Yi's face changed drastically and his scalp went numb. He saw Cao's army standing densely along the moat in front, with bows and arrows aimed at the city gate. The arrows were like thousands of stars, gathering towards him.
