The thief led Chen Jie into a battle with Cao Cao. All his energy was focused on Cao Cao's spear. Unexpectedly, a cold arrow came flying and pierced his left arm. His marksmanship suddenly slowed down. Cao Cao twisted his spear and pierced the enemy with a puff. He lifted up his chest and knocked over several thieves who came to rescue him. Looking at the wound on his chest, it turned out that the front and back were clear.
Cao Cao turned around and saw that the side gate of the Song Army's camp was open, and Liu Yanqing, Han Shizhong and other generals led the Imperial Army soldiers and horses to fight out.
Liu Yanqing was holding an iron-backed bow. It was obvious that he had fired the arrow just now.
Cao Cao said happily: "General, you are good at archery!"
Liu Yanqing sighed: "You were clearly aiming at his throat, so why did you only hit his arm? That's fine. You're lucky if you didn't hit your arm."
Han Shizhong laughed and said: "Brother Wu, it can be seen that the master loves you very much. His archery skills are famously called the divine arrows of chance. He shoots the bow and lands wherever he wants. Because he is afraid of people laughing, he refuses easily. I will make an exception for you when it comes to practicing the bow."
Cao Cao only thought that Han Shizhong was making fun of him, so he laughed and said: "How can this happen? I think the general's arms are long and powerful, and his eyes are shining. These are all signs of a sharpshooter."
At this time, the enemy's "Black-faced Wolf" Bai Ren and "Heart-Eating Jackal" Zhang Yi came with thousands of soldiers and horses. Han Shizhong saw the two thieves looking murderous, pointed at Bai Ren and said: "General, shoot this black-faced man." The one with the big knife!"
Liu Yanqing picked up an eagle-feather arrow, opened the bow like the moon, calmly and calmly, and took a slight aim. When he let go, the arrow was like a shooting star. "Heart-swallowing jackal" Zhang Yi was hit by the arrow in the face, fell off his horse with his head raised to the sky, and threw out three or four iron rods in his hand. Zhang Yuan, knocking over several thieves.
Liu Yanqing sighed and said, "Oh, the black-faced boy didn't deserve to die, and the one who fell down didn't deserve to live."
Cao Cao was stunned, then forced a smile and said: "Do you, the Western Army, all like to joke so much? The general clearly wants to shoot the stickman."
Han Shizhong laughed so much that he fell down, pointed at Bo Ren and said, "General, shoot him a few more arrows. If you don't believe me, you will miss him."
Liu Yanqing nodded, and shot seven sharp arrows in one breath. The minions close to Bai Ren fell off their horses one after another, and seven of them were knocked over in a row. Only Bai Ren was unscathed.
Liu Yanqing shook his hand and said with a wry smile: "Do you think he is lucky?"
Cao Cao was stunned. When the last two arrows were shot, Bo Ren had already rushed within five feet. How could he miss?
He was about to draw his gun and fight, but unexpectedly, Bo Ren yelled and turned back on his horse. He watched the veteran opposite him shoot eight arrows in a row, and there was no one within three to five feet of him. With such amazing arrow skills, how could he? Not timid? He just thought that the other party shot him like this on purpose so that he could capture him alive, so he turned around and left.
At this time, Gu Cen led the troops to attack from the side. Liu Yanqing murmured: "I don't believe you, you have no chance!" He drew the bow fully and shot an arrow with all his strength. Unexpectedly, he was too strong and the tail feather of the arrow broke. Two or three long arrows drew a graceful arc and suddenly penetrated the left side of Bo Ren's neck.
Bai Ren was running away, but he didn't expect an arrow to fly out from an unattended direction and shot through his neck. He froze and murmured: "What a magic arrow!" He fell off his horse and died.
Cao Cao was also stunned, and then he became convinced that it was not Liu Yanqing's arrow that was accurate, but that he had no luck with his arrow just now.
Gu Cen and Han Fan were also stunned. The five generals from Wancheng came out together. Before they even touched the Song army's camp, they had already killed three of them. Especially the arrow that shot Bai Ren, it was a skill that had never been heard of in their life. Who would have heard of it? Crossing the arrow and taking a turn?
On the battlefield, this kind of weird archery technique was even more terrifying than the Ten Palaces of Yama. The second general couldn't help but lose courage. At the same time, he thought: As I said earlier, Liu Zhibo's ability has failed, how can we win over the officers and soldiers? ?
The two reined in their horses and shouted: "Go back to the city, go back to the city!" They turned around and ran away. The thieves under his command were in a commotion. Some followed them back to the city, while others were still rushing in. They were suddenly scattered.
After all, Liu Yanqing is a strong general, with good vision and decisiveness. He immediately shouted: "If God doesn't take it, he will take the blame. We will capture Wancheng tonight only! All my sons, follow me to kill the thieves!"
The old man dismounted his horse and took the lead in pursuit. Cao Cao and other generals behind him roared in unison to protect the veteran. The ten thousand courageous Imperial Guards couldn't help but shout, and they just rushed forward.
At that time, the bright moon was in the sky, illuminating the plain and the land was silvery white. Tong Guan and other generals were startled. They stood on the wall of the village and stared blankly at Liu Yanqing leading the 10,000 forbidden troops, killing the traitors to pieces. The veteran Liu Yanqing's white beard was flying. , took the lead in breaking out of the formation, and immediately drew their bows and fired. The thieves fell to the ground casually, and the forbidden soldiers behind them killed the enemies like chopping melons and vegetables. Tong Guan was so shocked that he kept rubbing his eyes - could these forbidden soldiers be possessed by evil spirits? Why is it so fierce?
The other soldiers and horse supervisors were also confused: Why are there so many enemy soldiers? How could so many enemy soldiers be defeated? When did the Western Army chase them out? who are we? What are we here for?
After all, Tong Guan was still worthy of being a commander. He suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Well done, Old Liu! I have told him a long time ago that when our army comes from far away, the thieves will definitely go out of the city to attack at night. We just took advantage of this to set up an ambush and were defeated." Enemy soldiers, take advantage of the situation to seize the city! However, although my commander-in-chief is clever in his planning, it is only thanks to the courage of Lao Liu and other generals to use their lives that they can truly achieve success. Come on, give the order to all the troops, rectify the troops and horses, and send troops to attack the city!"
What city should we attack? The thieves were defeated and retreated to the city. They were fighting to get into the city. The people inside were trying hard to close the door. The people outside were crying and squeezing in. They were squeezed to death and trampled to death. Han Shizhong rushed forward and stepped on his horse. He jumped out like a big bird and landed on the heads of the thieves. He rushed into the city with small steps on their heads. He spread out his sword skills and killed corpses everywhere in the doorway.
Seeing Han Shizhong's bravery, Cao Cao was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he quickly shouted: "Brothers Lu and Sun, hurry up and take over."
When Lu Junyi and Sun An heard this, they rode their horses straight into the crowd. Behind them, Zhu Jing, Yan Qing and others also fought hard to seize the city gate. Han Shizhong, covered in blood, shouted: "Quickly, quickly bring my horse and fight to the other side." City Gate, don’t let him go!”
By the time Tong Guan's army arrived, it was already getting brighter. Han Shizhong had already fought his way out of the south gate and chased Han Fan for more than ten miles. He killed the thieves in formation and returned Han Fan.
The remaining bandits in the city were less than 300 who followed Gu Cen to escape, suffering more than 5,000 casualties, and more than 10,000 surrendered. More than 10,000 prisoners of the vanguard camp who surrendered to the bandits also returned to the Song army.
Tong Guan was so busy that he ordered his military scribes to write down numerous notices to calm the people, and posted them all over the city. He also sent his cronies, Marquis Yu, to lead his soldiers, and extorted wealthy and middle-class families all over the city on the charge of collaborating with thieves. He also took advantage of the situation to count and take over The wealth seized by the thieves and the grain and grass they had hoarded made their mouths watery.
It wasn't until the afternoon that he had time to summon the generals and ask them about yesterday's battle. Naturally, Cao Cao would not say that he went to pay homage to his old friend. He only said that he "felt uneasy and informed the general that Liu Yanqing ordered everyone to take turns to scout out, and they were being attacked by thieves." , taking advantage of the power of the prime minister, he defeated the enemy in one fell swoop and took advantage of the situation to capture Wancheng."
Liu Yanqing heard the news and said with a smile: "We, Old Liu, also obeyed the commander's order early and knew that the enemy was going to attack at night, so we sent you to wait for the sentry. If the commander had not predicted the enemy plane first, he would have been prepared. It’s so easy for me to defeat the insurmountable enemy.”
Tong Guan laughed loudly and called everyone's merits to be recorded in the book, and they would be rewarded together when they returned to Beijing.
The six soldiers and horses saw that the left wing of the army had repeatedly made meritorious deeds, and could not help but be secretly jealous. Han Tianlin, the governor of Tangzhou, and Wang Yi, the governor of Dengzhou, came out at the same time to ask for orders to attack Fancheng.
Tong Guandao said: "Soldiers are fierce weapons. We must not underestimate the enemy. Fancheng is difficult to attack. I will command the entire army."
Then he led the entire army to reorganize for three days, leaving Songzhou Governor Zhou Xin to lead his own troops and more than 10,000 people from the original pioneer battalion to guard Wancheng, and personally led the army to Fancheng.
But he said that he had received Gu Cen's reward for asking Marshal Duan Er of Peking University. He learned that he had lost two battles in a row, lost Wancheng, and only 300 troops from 30,000 troops had returned. He was so angry that he screamed and almost breathed fire. He personally carried the army across the Han River and stationed there. Fancheng wants to compete with Tong Guan and let the world see whether he is a handsome man with eggs who is extravagant and generous, or a handsome man without eggs who is domineering.
After waiting for several days, Tong Guan's army arrived at the city in a mighty manner, set up camp ten miles away, and sent someone to shoot a letter of war, arranging for a decisive battle below the city in the morning of the next day.
The decisive battle between the two armies. Before the confrontation, the generals of both sides came out to answer each other's questions and explain their reasons clearly. This is an ancient ritual. This was the link when Zhuge Kongming cursed the old man Wang Lang to death.
Zuo Mou, the military advisor, racked his brains for this, and he came up with some rhetoric, and asked Duan Er to memorize it and apply it. Duan Er took a look and found that he didn't know eight of the ten words, and he could only read two more. He knew half of them, and suddenly became furious and tore him into pieces. He claimed that "Mr. Duan Er is a genius and has an unparalleled eloquence. Back in Duan Jiabao, there was a saying that 'the third mother can be judged by her fists, and the second man can be judged by his mouth'. Do you still need to rely on it?" Did you cheat?"
On May 24, the two armies took up positions at the foot of Fan City. Tong Guan rode out and shouted loudly: "Wang Qingzhe is a Bianliang rogue. He has been unfaithful and unfilial since he was a child. He is unkind and unjust. He commits crimes before dispatching them. He doesn't think about it." After repenting, he even gathered a crowd to rebel, attacked the city, plundered the land, and tortured the people. This is an unforgivable crime. Now the emperor is furious and orders my commander to send out troops to attack, vowing to capture this person and set an example to the nine tribes. The emperor is merciful. , remember that you are all citizens of the Song Dynasty. Since he conspired to rebel, you have been deceived or coerced. If the soldiers of today come, if you have not lost your conscience and abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, all your previous sins will be forgiven. This is the great favor of the Holy One. You Wait and think about it carefully.”
Duan Er didn't pay attention to a word he said. After finally waiting for him to finish, he pulled himself together and came out of the battle and shouted: "Hey! Old thief Tong Guan, you, an eggless eunuch, are actually handsome. You are really our marshal." It’s a disgrace to the industry. We handsome men, from ancient times to the present, have all had eggs. We have big eggs, and the eggs are as big as bamboo shoots, so we can be handsome. But you don’t have eggs. How dare you shamelessly wander into the handsome world and think you are handsome? You If this guy refuses to accept it, leave the two armies here, you and I, take off our clothes and pants, and compete to see who is bigger and who is smaller. If you beat me, I will persuade the king of my family to abdicate the throne in favor of someone more worthy. Do you dare?"
Duan Er's words made him shout with all his strength, and the Huaixi army laughed wildly. Even the Song army couldn't help laughing. They were afraid of beheading, so they could only endure it. Many soldiers looked down at the ground and were shaking all over. , extremely hard work.
Han Shizhong murmured: "If this thief says it, I will be a commander sooner or later."
There are different teachings: the egg is exaggerated before the second formation of Duan, and the length of the axis is ridiculously cut off. Shizhong was shocked and said, if this is the case, it will be my turn sooner or later.
