Lao Cao's arrow was intended to kill people and establish his authority, so he aimed it right between Liu Min's eyebrows.
Unexpectedly, Sun An was so brave that he slashed with both swords, killing people like mowing grass. One of Liu Min's soldiers was chopped into pieces by him. The body parts flew out, and a drop of blood was thrown far away. By chance, it splashed into Liu Min's body. Sensitive left eye. Liu Min instinctively shrank his head, only to hear the sound of wind above his head, and all the soldiers around him screamed in surprise. He subconsciously touched up and saw that the red tassel on top had been shot away by an arrow.
Cao Cao secretly screamed in shame, but his expression was majestic and serious. He drew another arrow and put it on the string. Without firing, he shouted: "Hey! Wu has never hurt anyone with cold arrows in his life. I just reminded you of the arrow. Dismount and surrender, otherwise this arrow will hit you in the heart."
Liu Min was shocked and quickly covered her heart tightly.
Sun An had killed twenty or thirty people in an instant. Hearing Cao Cao's words, he pointed his sword at Liu Min and roared: "Surrender!"
Geng Gong also picked and killed more than ten people. He also pointed his gun and shouted: "Surrender!"
Poor Liu Zhibo, he looked around blankly. The army had already fled away, and the more than 200 soldiers around him were miserable and panicked. Although there were only three of them here, Cao Cao was more powerful than the last. Looking north, he saw that the general who killed Zhang Shou had already Bringing a large army to fight, he couldn't help but sigh: "Who would have expected that I, Liu Zhibo, would be surrounded by Gaixia not long after I first came out of the village. Now I am surrounded by enemies on all sides. It is not a crime of war to kill me today..."
Cao Cao said angrily: "With this material of yours, are you worthy of being compared with Zhuge Liang and King Chu?" The crosshair moved slightly, and the arrow shot out, hitting Liu Min's left shoulder, and shot him off his horse with one arrow.
The thieves were shocked when they saw it, and they all prostrated and asked to surrender. Liu Min stood up tremblingly, covered his shoulders and cursed: "I haven't said I won't surrender, how can you hurt me with an arrow?"
Cao Cao sneered and said, "I'm afraid you might say, 'Today I'm going to die and I'm willing to fight for you all,' so I have to strike first."
It turns out that in the past, the overlord was defeated in Gaixia, and there were only twenty-eight cavalry left under his command. King Xiang could not escape, so he said to his cavalry: "It has been eight years since I raised the army, and I have fought more than seventy battles. Those who were in charge were defeated, and those who attacked were defeated. Without being defeated, he conquered the world. However, the soldiers are now trapped here. The reason for my death in this world is not the crime of war. I will definitely die today. I am willing to fight quickly for you, and I will win three times. I will break the siege and kill you for you. General, cut the flag so that all the kings will know that Heaven is destroying me. This is not a crime of war."
After the overlord said these words, he divided his troops and fought quickly. The conflict was invincible. He killed the generals and captured the flag, showing the style of an unparalleled general.
But where does Liu Min have such ability? He said that it was not the crime of war to kill me, but he just whitewashed his words, but he was shot in vain. He couldn't help but be dumbfounded and regretful.
It can be seen that pretending to be cool and being struck by lightning is the same in ancient and modern times.
Not long after, Han Shizhong and others led thousands of people to kill them. After questioning the prisoners carefully, they found out that they were captured by Liu Min, the leader of the thieves. They were all overjoyed. Xu Guanzhong laughed and said: "Brother Wu, use three cavalry to drive away more than ten thousand people." , and captured his general. I have read all the history books and never seen such achievements."
Cao Cao waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is due to the bravery of the two wise brothers Sun and Geng - it is also due to the might of Tong Shuai!"
Xu Guanzhong heard his voice suddenly rising and turned to look. Sure enough, Tong Guan led hundreds of iron cavalry and came at lightning speed.
Tong Guan only heard the second half of the sentence and said with a smile: "How can you trust me with the power of a tiger? Who is the general who was hit by the arrow?"
Cao Cao said: "Reporting to the Prime Minister, this thief is Liu Min, the Huaixi thief's fake hussar general. He is named Zhiyonghou. He is the chief general of the Wancheng thief army. The thief's nickname is 'Zhi Bo'. If it weren't for the Prime Minister's great power and great fortune, How can we capture such a big thief in one fell swoop?”
Tong Guan was overjoyed when he heard this: "It turns out that he is a famous leader among the thieves! In that case, don't harm his life. Let the military doctors treat him, put him in a prison car, and escort him to Tokyo to report his victory."
Not long after, all armies arrived, and an army secretary counted the casualties and reported the results: In this battle, the Song army suffered more than 400 casualties, mostly injured by bows and arrows, and killed more than 2,000 thieves and captured them. More than 4,000, there were also Song generals Sun An, a member of Banze, a thief general, and Han Shizhong, a thief general Zhang Shou. Wu Zhi, Sun An, and Geng Gong captured Liu Min, the enemy's puppet hussar general, and Geng Gong captured them. Duan Pengju, the rebel general who was formerly the supervisor of the military and horse capital of Suizhou, was a member of the rebel general.
Tong Guan was overjoyed after hearing this, summoned all the generals, and said proudly: "I was ordered to conquer Wang Qing. I entrusted the Holy Spirit to Hongfu, and our generals worked together to send vanguards to deceive the enemy. As expected, Liu Min, the enemy chieftain in Wancheng, was lured out. , this thief was named a General of Hussars and a Marquis of Wisdom and Courage by the false king. He has a noble status and extraordinary abilities. We defeated tens of thousands of them in one fell swoop, killed and wounded countless thief soldiers, and captured the enemy chieftain Liu Min alive. This can be said to be a victory in the first battle!"
His words set the tone, and when the generals heard the words, they cheered in unison.
Tong Guan smiled and said: "Although I had the final say in planning this battle, Liu Yanqing led the army well, and generals such as Wu Zhi, Sun An, Geng Gong, and Han Shizhong fought bravely to kill the enemy. Their contribution is not small. And record them one by one in the book. After the victory, they will be reported to the emperor and rewarded. Alas, it is a pity that Duan Dujian has been destroyed, and Chen Zhu also does not know whether he is alive or dead. It is really regrettable."
The close advisors and princes around him shouted in confusion: "Duan Dujian served the country, and he deserves to die."
Someone winked, and several soldiers understood and left with murderous intent.
Cao Cao looked at it and nodded secretly: It seems that Duan Dujian has not been around for a long time, but in this way, he can at least gain a reputation for loyalty and will not implicate his family. It can be regarded as a worthy death.
He knew that Tong Guan was willing to cover up for Duan Pengju, and it was not out of good intentions. First, he wanted to cover up the failure of the vanguard and the loss of troops, and secondly, he had recommended and elected these eight governors, and they would look bad on him if they surrendered to traitors.
Just listen to Tong Guan say again: "The bandit army in Wancheng has defeated the general, and there will definitely be chaos. At this good opportunity, it is time to use our troops quickly to break this strong city."
All the generals agreed in unison, and Tong Guan ordered his subordinate Chang Shi to lead 500 troops and escort Liu Min back to Bianjing to report the victory. The rest of the army immediately set off and marched for most of the day. By dusk, Wancheng was in sight, and the army arrived Set up camp ten miles outside the city.
But it was said that Liu Min was captured and his tens of thousands of troops were defeated. Half of them were scattered along the road. Only six or seven thousand people returned to Wancheng. Two generals, Gu Cen and Han Fan, were left in Wancheng. They led 10,000 troops to hold on. They broke through last night. Arriving at the vanguard camp of the Song Army, deputy general Chen Jie led 2,000 troops and escorted 16,000 Song prisoners back to the city.
Calculated in this way, the three generals guarding the city were Gu Cen, Han Fan, and Chen Jie, with more than 18,000 soldiers and horses, and 16,000 prisoners.
When these three learned that Liu Min had been captured and saw Tong Guan's army marching outside the city, they couldn't help but be frightened. They discussed: "Liu Zhibo's ability has failed. How can we defend this city? If we wait, If the officers and soldiers come in, they will all be destroyed. How can our good lives be ruined here? Why not retreat to Marshal Duan and make further calculations."
When Liu Min went to Wancheng before, the Huaixi rebels became very powerful. A group of strong men who had robbed their houses in Niutou Mountain came to surrender. The first two among them were the "Black-faced Wolf" Bai Ren and the "Heart-Eating Jackal" Zhang Yi. Before he could ask for a reward, officers and soldiers arrived.
The two men thought to themselves: I arrived late and have no way to advance. Now these three generals are frightened. Isn't this a good opportunity for me? The so-called wealth and wealth are sought in danger.
He immediately found Generals Gu, Han and Chen and offered his advice: "Three generals, the officers and soldiers are coming from far away. I and I are willing to lead a force to rob the camp. I think the officers and soldiers have just achieved a great victory and must be tired and relaxed. We will definitely succeed." , defending Wancheng in this way, the skills of the three generals are also displayed in front of the King of Chu!"
When the three of them thought about it, they seemed to be right: Liu Zhibo is gone, and if he goes to Duan Er's subordinates, he will no longer have the right to be independent. If Wancheng is defended, wouldn't the three of us be on our own, how free and happy?
Chen Jie was the most courageous and immediately said: "I think this plan of brothers Bai and Zhang is feasible. Let's do it this way. I will rob the camp with you tonight."
Gu Cen and Han Fan looked at each other and thought that the three of us were of equal rank. If Chen Jie had achieved this great feat, wouldn't he have climbed above me?
He immediately shouted: "Forget it, good brothers live and die together. How can we bear to sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor while watching you three fight? Why don't we all go together? Success or failure depends on this."
After the five men finished speaking, they ordered 15,000 soldiers to have a hearty meal. They stayed up until late at night, and then one of them gave him a bowl of Zhuangxing wine to drink, then opened the city gate and quietly attacked the Song army's camp.
There are different teachings: Liu Zhibo pretended to be brave and hit the arrow, and Privy Tong made a successful conclusion. Meng De looked at the bright moon with nostalgia, and the thieves and bandits met the enemy at night.
