Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

In the first year of Jianxing in the Han Dynasty, on the fourth day of March in the first year of Taihe in the Wei Dynasty, in Pishi County, Hedong County, later in Hejin City, Shanxi Province.

Today is a cloudy day with no sun, the sky is vast and white, and the warm spring breeze with the fragrance of wild flowers is slowly wafting across the plain.

Banners were flying outside the city of Pishi County, and groups of Han soldiers stood in formation, standing in the green grass, overlooking the city.

The city is not high, less than two feet, the city wall is old and mottled, the upper wall is covered with creepers, some places are stained with black blood, and even the walls are cracked.

There are still some weapons and equipment scattered under the city wall. Every time when the city is attacked and evacuated, Pound can only take away the corpses of the soldiers who died in battle. The weapons and equipment and flags of the Han army can only be thrown in place and cannot be recovered.

On the bank of the Fenshui River in Gengxiang, south of the Pi family, there is also a Cao camp. Zhu Ling did not put all his troops in the city of the Pi family, but set up a camp outside the city, forming the corners of each other.

It is not wise to defend an isolated city. The enemy will surround the city, and the morale of the army will be weakened in the long run, and the food and grass will be exhausted one day, so the best way is to form a camp outside.

This is often the case in ancient wars. Even when there are many troops, there may be more than one camp, and multiple camps may be placed outside the city for support and mediation.

In fact, Xu Huang did the same thing. He originally planned to use the three cities of Puban, Jiecheng, and Yucheng as his horns, but Deng Ai sent a surprise attack and burned down the city of Yucheng. As a result, he had to stay in Puban City and became a lone army. .

Therefore, the current situation is very unfavorable for Xu Huang.

However, the situation on Zhu Ling's side was slightly better at the beginning. Although there were more enemies than his own, he relied on the camp and the city to tenaciously defend Pound's offensive, and Pi's county town remained unmoved.

But today is different.

After noon, Pang De began to storm Cao Ying's camp in Gengxiang. With a chaotic sound like houses collapsing and walls collapsing, Cao Jun's camp gate yelled "The camp is broken!".

In an instant, the world seemed to be completely silent, and in an instant, the sound of horseshoes coming from the wind and rain could be heard in the distance.

After that, Cao Ying was in chaos, and the Han army stormed into Cao Jun's camp. Swords and guns intersected, and there were constant cries, screams, wailing, and the sound of weapons handing over.

A large number of Han troops began to pour into Cao Ying. At the beginning, Cao Jun came in groups to intercept them. They were cut down one after another and killed a few small leaders, leaving behind dozens of corpses. After realizing how powerful they were, they turned their heads and went deep into the camp. run.

The generals in Cao's camp shouted and wanted to regroup, but the Han army's momentum became stronger. They rushed into the camp and hacked and killed a large number of Cao soldiers who were caught off guard, and suddenly collapsed.

Zhu Ling, who was far away on the city wall, looked anxiously at the bank of Fenshui, which was in chaos outside the city, but also watched the Han army forming a formation outside the city, not daring to move.

At the forefront of the Han army's ranks, there were still many cloud towers, rushing chariots, and catapults. Just now the gate of Caoying's village outside the city was smashed down by catapults.These days, he himself has been reluctant to hold on to the city, and it is obviously difficult to rescue the army outside the city.

The battle continued until it was dark. When the night fell, some of the soldiers of the Cao army who were scattered wanted to run back to Pi's city. The sun was setting, and the sky and the earth were gray. Zhu Ling saw the cavalry behind them when the night was dark. .

He had no choice but to order not to open the city gate, and watched hundreds of Cao soldiers outside the city flee like ducks, and then the Han soldiers continued to chase and kill Cao Jun outside the city.

At this time, Zhu Ling had already lost an arm, and the number of Cao's troops in the city was only about [-], and the morale of the army began to slacken.

The Han army used catapults and cloud towers to attack the city day and night, and their morale had dropped to the bottom.

Zhu Ling knew that if he continued to hold on, it would be a dead end, because the Pi family was too small, and the enemy had a lot of siege equipment. If they stormed the city, the Pi family would be on the verge of collapse, especially the opponent's catapults were so powerful that even the gates outside the city were destroyed. Smash.

If we continue on, when Pound breaks through the city, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out.So on the night of the eighth day of March, Zhu Ling decided to put all his eggs in one basket and chose to lead the soldiers from the East Gate to retreat to Linfen.

Because Linfen is the only way from east to Bingzhou, if you want to keep Bingzhou, you must ensure that Linfen is not lost, so Zhu Ling's choice is correct.

As night fell, a crescent moon in the night sky was hidden behind dark clouds, and the cool moonlight came out from the edge of the clouds, illuminating a small piece of blue-white sky, and even the edge of the dark clouds was stained with a touch of hoarfrost.

The land was in darkness, except for the firelight above the city gate, there were dark and hazy shadows everywhere.

Standing on the west gate tower, Zhu Ling took a final look at the direction of the Han army camp in the distance. There were dozens of scarecrows tied up on the tower, wearing the color of Wei army uniforms. Looks like a soldier on guard.

The only weird thing is that they don't move.

"go!"

With a wave of Zhu Ling's hand, hundreds of soldiers behind him quietly descended from the gate tower and gathered in the east city.

Soon the gate of the east city opened quietly, and groups of Cao Jun soldiers came out slowly. They pushed their chariots and horses, and carried supplies all the way to the east under the moonlight.

But it didn't take long for the Han army camp outside the west city gate to wake up from the dead silence. Heads popped out from behind, bows were drawn and knives unsheathed, and everywhere there was the sound of clattering iron armor leaves, anxious and angry urging sounds, and neat shouts.

The Han army surrounded Pi's family, so naturally it was impossible not to set up guard posts on the periphery.Although Cao Jun's actions were extremely concealed, they were still noticed by the scouts of the Han army, and they quickly ran back on their horses. When they were far away, they whistled to report the situation to the Han army in the camp, telling them that Cao Jun was about to escape.

Pound ran out of his general's camp while putting on his clothes. He put on his armor and asked his lieutenants Jiang Yuan and Ren Shendao: "What's going on? Why is there suddenly the sound of war drums and horns from the whole army? It's Cao Jun Did you call?"

Ren Shen brought Pang De's horse and sword, while Jiang Yuan had just returned from the front battalion and reported to him: "General, the scouts found that Cao Jun was about to flee at night from Pi's east gate, and the general sent out a war drum warning."

"well done."

Pang De turned on his horse, raised the sword in his hand and said, "Let Liu He and Deng Tong stay in the camp, and the rest follow me. Don't run away Zhu Ling!"

"only!"

Jiang Yuanren responded, and mounted his horses one after another in pursuit.

Thousands of Han troops dispatched with light clothes, quickly bypassed Pi's city, and pursued all the way to the east.

But Cao Jun was well prepared. They knew that it would take at least two quarters of an hour from being discovered by the Han army to when the enemy came out of the camp to pursue them, so after leaving the city, they trotted all the way east to Jiting.

Jiting is the later Jishan County, Shanxi Province. From Pishi to Jiting, there is a small hilly mountain range extending from north to south, which is the junction of Hubei Expressway and Jingkun Expressway in later generations.

The Han army hurriedly chased them all the way. Because they traveled lightly, they were much faster than the Cao army who had to carry a lot of supplies. When the cock crowed, they could already see the continuous fire ahead.

Cao Jun seemed to think that he had thrown off the Han army, so he lit a torch to illuminate the way forward, but now it has become a beacon for the Han army to attack.

Seeing this, Pang De was overjoyed, and shouted: "Kill it!"

He wanted to make the soldiers not need to form an array, but to charge straight away, building up their momentum.

Since Cao Jun fled with a large group of people and luggage, and lined up end to end, once they were raided by the rear, they would be in an extremely disadvantageous situation.

Therefore, Pound felt that as long as the soldiers charged, the opponent's rear army would collapse, thus defeating Zhu Ling without any effort.

But Ren Shen also came from a famous family. His ancestors were Ren Shang, the guardian of the Western Regions. He had some knowledge and said to Pound: "General, Zhu Ling is said to be quite brave and good at fighting. Since he chose to abandon the city and escape, he is unlikely to be defenseless. The last general I thought he must have ambushes."

"Oh?"

Pang De is a person who listens to persuasion. After hearing Ren Shen's words, he calmed down, looked forward and said, "Cao Jun is running all the way ahead, but it doesn't look like an ambush."

Ren Shen pointed to the dark mountains and forests in front of him and said, "Look, general, if I were Zhu Ling, I wouldn't dare to light a torch today. He lit the torch just to lure us over there. You can lay an ambush."

"rational."

Pound thought it made sense, so he asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"

Ren Shen thought for a while and said: "The last general thought that the general could lead a group of troops to the east for a mile, and then send a group of soldiers and horses to kill and rush there first. When the enemy's ambushes are all gone, it is just right to raid their rear. Even if there is no ambush, the front and rear With a pincer attack, Cao Jun will be defeated!"

"it is good!"

Pang De was overjoyed, and after a while he said: "I am the chief general, how can I leave the brigade lightly? Where is Ren Shen?"

"The end is here."

"Let you lead 3000 people and go around."

"only!"

Ren Shen was very happy, this is an opportunity to make meritorious service.

The current ginseng ordered Qi soldiers and horses to detour.

Pang De gave an order, and the soldiers of the Han army howled like wild wolves, and killed Cao Jun in the distance.

The distance between the two sides was originally several miles, but soon Cao Jun discovered the movement behind, and there was a commotion all of a sudden, and various voices echoed in the night.

At this moment, Zhu Ling was crouching on the right side of the road, and more than 800 people beside him were silently hiding in the forest. Because there was no order, they did not dare to move rashly. arrival.

He knew he couldn't run very far.

Pi's Cao army is small in number, and their food and supplies are also small. If they continue to be surrounded by the Han army, although there are wells in the city, they will not be short of water, but after three months they will be in an embarrassing situation without food.

Therefore, Zhu Ling knew that if he wanted to evacuate safely to the rear, he had to repel the Han army who was chasing him in the future, so as to restore the situation.

There was no sound in the forest, and countless figures of Hu Hu la La could be seen appearing behind him in the distance. A lieutenant beside Zhu Ling said in a low voice: "General, the enemy is coming soon, are you planning to attack?"

Zhu Ling glanced at him and said, "Just wait for the order."

"only."

The lieutenant did not speak.

After a while, the Han army in the brigade swarmed and shouted, rushing towards Cao Jun in front.

The sound of footsteps and shouts of killing shook the wilderness one after another. Cao Jun in the forest held his breath. They watched a large number of Han troops running past them, and the nearest one was not even ten feet away from Cao Jun.

Many Cao Jun couldn't help but clenched the ring-shoudao in their hands. They didn't want to rush to kill, but they were afraid that if they were discovered by the Han army, they would immediately violently kill people.

However, Zhu Ling never gave the order to attack, and he remained silent until the battle between the Han army and the Cao army in front of him had begun.

Just when the ambushing Cao Jun was at a loss, a dozen cavalrymen rushed over with the second Han army. Their number was at least 2000. The leader seemed to be a general, shouting and ordering the soldiers to charge forward. .

A flash of killing intent flashed in Zhu Ling's eyes, and he jumped out of the forest. The cavalry in the front bumped into Zhu Ling. He pulled the reins and swung the steel knife. In a flash of cold light, the people around heard a thunderclap in the air. Then, the cavalry's war horse turned its head to the side and neighed halfway, then fell to the ground-the horse's face had collapsed into a deep pit right in the middle.

The cavalryman was also agile, and he was able to stand still when his horse fell down. Zhu Ling raised his sword to block the falling hammer—his head and face immediately looked like overripe berries.

"kill!"

It wasn't until this time that there was a shocking cry of killing in the forest.

"There is an ambush!"

"Get out!"

"Back first!"

Cao Jun's ambush caught the Han army off guard, and this group of Han troops was dispersed in an instant.

There were many people in the dark night, and it was not known how many soldiers Cao Jun had ambushed, causing the Han army in the middle to panic, unable to take care of both ends, and there was chaos for a while.

Pang De was actually in the rear army at this time. His number was much larger than Cao's army, and the soldiers had no formation when they were chasing, so they commanded from the rear.

Seeing that there was a problem with the Chinese army at this moment, there was indeed an ambush as Ren Can expected, so he immediately shouted: "End the formation, form the formation!"

The soldiers of the Han army behind him quickly approached him.

The battlefield is now in chaos. The Cao army's rear troops are fighting with the Han army's front army. The Han army's central army is ambushed by Cao Jun's ambushes. There are shouts of killing and fighting sounds everywhere.

Soon Pang De organized an offensive, but the central army had already been dispersed, and Zhu Ling began to surround his front army with his main rear army, so that the situation of the Han army took a turn for the worse, which was very dangerous.

Seeing this situation, Pang De roared and rode his horse into the battlefield. Zhu Ling had already found a horse at this time, and when he saw a general behind him leading thousands of Han soldiers charging towards him, he roared likewise when the critical moment came. He led the soldiers to rush forward.

The two sides quickly fought together, and Pound hacked and killed several Cao soldiers with a knife in his hand. The moon was as cold as water, and his white horse was extremely conspicuous under the moonlight, causing the surrounding Cao soldiers to rush up one after another, and there were even hidden arrows shot at him from time to time.

"what!"

During the chaotic battle, Pound was shot in the left arm. He simply bit the arrow shaft with his mouth and pulled it out, and then continued to fight.

Seeing that the general was so brave, the surrounding Han soldiers' morale was greatly increased, and they hacked and killed one after another.

Seeing that the already good situation had changed with Pound's joining the battlefield, Zhu Ling was furious and shouted, and hundreds of Cao troops around him followed him and charged Pound.

Pound also had some personal guards around him, but the disintegration of the front army and the central army led to the shortage of troops in his rear army. Most of the soldiers were fighting the enemy. As a result, there were only more than 100 personal guards around him to protect him. downwind.

But Pang De was not afraid, he raised his sword and slashed and killed a Cao Jun who was about to attack him, then he turned his horse and roared and charged forward.

Zhu Ling met him very quickly, and Zhu Ling knew that he had met his opponent in the first round of the fight.

Although the enemy general was wounded in his left arm and was bleeding profusely, he was extremely brave, and his sword skills were strong and fierce, and his force might be superior to him.

Zhu Ling didn't dare to be negligent, and swung the steel saber in his hand left and right, colliding with Pang De's broadsword continuously, fighting for more than ten rounds, in the midst of a fierce battle, suddenly there was a shocking cry of killing behind him.

The soldiers of the Han army that Ren Shen detoured suddenly appeared behind the forest and attacked Cao Jun's right flank again. Cao Jun was defeated instantly, and Ren Shen sent hundreds of people to set fire to the unguarded grain and grass in the rear.

Originally, Zhu Ling was concentrating on the decisive battle with Pound, but when the food and supplies behind him were on fire, he suddenly heard someone yelling "fire" like ghosts and wolves, and he was shocked. He looked back and was shocked .

I only saw that the Cao army behind him had been crushed by the Han army, the baggage cart was burning with raging flames, and the entire Cao army collapsed and was irretrievable.

"Shh!"

At this moment, Pang De's broadsword attacked again, Zhu Ling resisted hastily, but he didn't prevent the enemy from sinking the sword vigorously, and knocked the steel knife in his hand out.

In an instant, Zhu Ling felt a cold light flash in front of his eyes, a pain in his neck, and he lost consciousness.

"Big man wins!"

Pang De beheaded Zhu Ling with a single blow, looked around, and shouted angrily when he saw that the victory had been decided.

"Big man wins!"

The surrounding Han soldiers also shouted.

Cao Jun soldiers surrendered, those who fled fled, and those who were killed were killed. For a while, the whole wilderness was filled with the sound of the big man's victory!
