The Shuhan Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 18 The New Town Changes Owners
Xincheng changed hands
The night is about to replace the day, and Qiuyan Ridge is gradually darkening; the only thing that has not changed is that Qiuyan Ridge is still receiving the continuous gushing blood, as if it wants to replace the green scenery in spring with a bright red one. new clothes.

At the most intense part of the battle, "Qin Lantian, don't panic, Zhuge Qiao is coming." At this time, Zhuge Qiao rushed into the encirclement. When he saw Qin Shan just now, he was frightened. At this time, Qin Shan had no extra color, face There was a layer of blood all over his face, and he didn't know if it was someone else who exposed it to him or his own.

Since Xu Huang's large army had not yet surrounded, Zhuge Qiao easily led his troops to break out from the western front, where the enemy was weakest. Zhuge Qiao took a remnant soldier in his hand and started again without stopping He knew that another soldier of Cao Jun had come, "Don't stop! Everyone, retreat quickly, our army will meet us in front." Zhuge Qiao shouted at the remnant soldier, already boosting morale.

Unknowingly, it seems that I have been running for a long time, only to find that the stars have covered the entire starry sky, and now the moon is particularly curved at the beginning of the month, like the groove on the back of the dagger of the "Spike" army. "Stop! There's movement ahead"'Shhhhhh,,,

Hearing this voice, Qin Shan immediately approached Zhuge Qiao and whispered, "Tun Chief, this is the signal for our Spike's Fang to ambush."

"That's fine, Yeheifenggao kills the night, let them know how strong our Langya's true ability is, you stay and command, and you can't let Cao Jun go any further." Although Zhuge Qiao was very surprised that Langya came, but Still very gratified, because the task he gave to Langya was to recharge his batteries.

Zhuge Qiao had just left for a quarter of an hour before Cao Jun followed. They still didn't know the danger was coming, they only knew how to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. Being ambushed, he glanced sideways at the direction Zhuge Qiao was going away, knowing that he could no longer catch up. "The whole army retreats," the general shouted loudly.

Langya saw that the meat in his mouth was about to fly away, and retreated unwillingly; but their purpose was not to kill the enemy but to stop the enemy. Now that Cao Jun has retreated, they still have to stay where they are.

And Zhuge Qiao saw that the torches behind him were still the first, but he still hurriedly evacuated to the direction of their army with most of them. "The five good generals really deserve their reputation. Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough to withdraw in time. Otherwise, most of the [-] troops here would be handed over here." Thinking about Zhuge Qiao, he felt a little lucky. This battle also told him that the wisdom and strategy of the ancients was not It was as simple as he thought.

After another quarter of an hour of rapid marching, they finally met Fu Qian and Chen Qi, "What are you doing here, why don't you retreat quickly?" Zhuge Qiao hurriedly asked when they came over.

"General, we are waiting here. If you don't come back, we plan to go back and look for you." Chen Qi finally felt a little relaxed when he saw Zhuge Qiao and his party return.

"How many casualties"

"When I went to block the front of Cao's army, I was the first to fight against their third team. We took advantage of the terrain advantage and had the upper hand at the beginning, but after Cao's soldiers recovered, I realized that our soldiers I was not Cao Jun's opponent at all, so I had to retreat to the mountain to help and use our understanding of the terrain to create an advantage, but it didn't take long for Cao Jun's front vanguard second team to come, and we were completely in a passive situation. Fortunately, at this time Chen Qi led the troops to arrive, and we broke out of the siege together. After that, we fought and left, and we were familiar with the terrain. After a short time, we got rid of Cao Jun and came here; now we have more than 700 people who are active here." Fu He explained it quickly.

"Xu Huang's army is really brave. Fortunately, we have spikes, otherwise we know how far we will be chased; but we still can't stay here, and we can rest if we continue to catch up with the large army," Zhuge Qiao said comfortingly.

Another rapid march, at this time perhaps Zhuge Qiao really understood the pain of the rapid march, the endless retreat, fortunately he was a special soldier in the previous life, otherwise no one in the 21st century could bear it.

It didn't take long before I encountered the first group of about 500 people withdrawing from the main force, plus more than 700 of my own remnant soldiers and 4000 people from Chen Qi and the others; now I still have about [-] or [-] people, and I agreed to ambush them. war!As a result, he lost one-third of his troops and fled the battlefield in embarrassment.

"Everyone rest on the spot now, and go to the new city at dawn"

Under the new city; Liu Feng came to the city of Xincheng a day ago. He thought that things would develop as he imagined, but the reality is that when Liu Feng was just preparing to attack the city, a human head was thrown from the tower , threw it straight at Liu Feng, and smashed it straight in front of Liu Feng's horse, but Liu Feng didn't dare to look directly at him. He didn't expect that Shen Yi would be so ruthless, and use the heads of the generals to destroy morale;

"Liu Feng, I have already surrendered to Cao Pi. I will definitely avenge you for killing my elder brother. Xu Huang has led tens of thousands of people to attack Shangyong; this is the key to your opening the city, but it is a pity that he only has his head here now. up"

Liu Feng knew that the matter had been exposed, Xincheng must be ready to wait for his attack, Liu Feng wanted to retreat to avoid the edge, suddenly a flash of inspiration: "When I left, Zhuge Qiao specially sent someone to give me Mengda's head, I still don't understand Now I understand what he meant, it turned out that he was worried that his situation would be very dangerous if Nei Ying was found out, and if he used Meng Da's head to frighten the enemy, it might lead to an unexpected ending."

"You may be familiar with something that Shenyi showed you." Liu Feng put Meng Da's head into the gun and raised it.

Shen Yi was really frightened when she saw it, "Meng Da has already surrendered and even went to meet Cao Pi, why is the head in Liu Feng's hands now? Could something have happened in Jingzhou."

Liu Feng saw that Shenyi was out of order, so he continued to exaggerate and shouted, "Three days ago, Wei Yan, the prefect of Hanzhong, quietly led [-] troops from Hanzhong to ambush Xu Huang's army at Qiuyanling. Now Xu Huang has retreated. We killed Meng Da in the First World War. If you knew what to do and surrendered, I would have saved you from death. If we waited for the army of Wei Taishou to come, you would be imprisoned by the nine clans."

At this moment, Shenyi panicked; if there was no where is Meng Da's head, he would not have believed that Wei Yan had quietly dispatched troops from Hanzhong, but where is Meng Da's head, and Meng Da is in Jingzhou, so he must not be easily recruited and killed.In fact, not only Shenyi panicked, but his generals were even more panicked, "If Xu Huang has really been repelled, and Wei Yan has come to Xincheng, then Xincheng must not be able to withstand the attacks of tens of thousands of people. The reason why you betrayed the King of Hanzhong is that Cao Jun from Jingzhou is about to come, but now it is not Cao Jun from Jingzhou, but Wei Yan from Hanzhong.”

"Let's submit to the prefect, at least we can save our lives," said a general next to Shen Yi

"Prefect Meng Da is dead, let's stop resisting, lest we end up like Meng Da," another general persuaded

"Think about when Shenyi gives you half a stick of incense. If you don't open the city gate after half a stick of incense, we will attack the city." Liu Feng shouted loudly under the city; It is impossible for these [-] soldiers to capture the new city, at most it is just a show.

Both parties were anxiously waiting, "If Liu Feng is defrauding us, Wei Yan didn't come at all," Shen Yi said anxiously.

"Impossible, could it be that Liu Feng can defeat Xu Huang and kill Meng Da?" a general said suspiciously
"How about we wait and open the door when Wei Yan arrives so as not to be tricked by Liu Feng?" Shen Yi said wittily

The general didn't respond, so he agreed.

After half a stick of incense; "General Liu, we are willing to surrender, but we have to wait until Wei Taishou comes to me before we open the city gate." Shen Yi said in a very sincere voice
"This is your last chance. If Prefect Wei arrives, your life will be over. Whether you will be allowed or not is a word." Liu Feng continued to respond with a threatening voice without leaving any room.

After seeing Liu Feng's attitude, Chenglou was very afraid that he would really attack the city, otherwise they would have no way out.

When the city tower is still tangled;
The city has already begun to move. "The front team retreats the Chinese army, the Chinese army presses up, and carries the ladder to attack the city, and the Chinese army moves forward to cover with bows and arrows." Liu Feng started to move with a few orders of five thousand; if it is normal, Xincheng There is definitely no problem in guarding the city, but now everyone in the guard is in danger and dare not use all his strength.

The siege troops arrived at the moat in a blink of an eye, and began to take ladders to prepare to cross the river; at this moment, the situation on the battlefield suddenly reversed, and a general who was inspecting the instrument on the tower took him hostage, and Liu Feng also discovered this situation
"Drums to retreat"

"General Liu, I am originally from Jingzhou. At that time, Shenyi threatened me with my family, so I obeyed him. I was forced to do this traitorous thing. Now I am willing to return to the King of Hanzhong and Kaicheng." shouted the general.

Seeing that Shenyi was in his hands, the soldiers guarding the city knew that the battle had been lost, so they opened the city gate and lowered the suspension bridge.

"Liu Qian, you lead the sergeants of the headquarters to accept the new city." Afraid of fraud, Liu Feng ordered a troop to investigate.

Not long after, I saw that Liu Qian was already standing on the tower of Xincheng, and controlled a group of generals; in fact, the guards on the city had already given up their resistance when they saw that Shenyi was being held hostage; but no matter what, Xincheng is now under the control of Liu Feng up.

Seeing that Liu Qian was already standing on the tower, Liu Feng led his army into the city with confidence.
