A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 470: The Battle of Xishan in Dongxing City, the Dongchuang Incident in the Station

October 31st

Since Dongxing City was built on a dike on Chao Lake, the first thing the Han army faced was the moat formed by the water from Chao Lake.

And if you want to attack Dongxing City, you must first capture Dongguan City and Xiguan City on both sides.

After discussion, Longxiang General Dong Yun, the commander-in-chief of the Han Army's East Route Army, decided to order all armies to cross the water with pontoon bridges and deploy troops on the embankment to attack the two cities of Dongguan and Xiguan first.

He personally commanded an army to guard the front of Dongxing City, guarding against the defenders in Dongxing City to support the two cities.

However, the east and west cities were in high and dangerous places, and although the Han army tried their best, they still could not conquer them.

So it has been postponed until now.

November 11

Sun Liang, who was in Jianye, saw that Wuchang and Jiangling had no worries and that the Han army was only a small force and looked like a general army, so he finally decided to send reinforcements to support Dongxing City.

Immediately ordered the champion general Ding Feng to lead 20,000 troops to support Dongxing day and night.

November 20
Ding Feng's tribe is only more than 20 miles away from Dongxing City.

Suddenly received a military order from Zhuge Ke in Dongxing City. The mountain to the west of Dongxing City is very important and can interact with Dongxing City. Now the Han army must have learned that the reinforcements of Wu Army have arrived and sent people to capture this mountain.

Whoever occupies this mountain will have an advantage in the battle of Dongxing City.

Therefore, Zhuge Ke ordered him not to come to Dongxing City and led his men to the west of the mountain to attack the side of the Han army.

Ding received the order and turned to the west that night.

November 21

Ding Fengsheng discussed the matter:

"Now the troops are moving slowly, and the Han soldiers are only twenty miles away from Xishan. If the Han soldiers are allowed to occupy favorable terrain, it will be difficult for our army to compete with them in Dongxing, so I decided to attack quickly."

So he ordered all troops and horses to stay away from the road, and Ding Feng personally led 3,000 of his men to rush forward quickly.

At the right time, the north wind was blowing, so Ding Feng sailed and sailed for two days to reach Dongguan, and then occupied Xutang.

But even so quickly, the Han army still occupied it in advance.

It happened to be snowing all over the sky and the temperature dropped sharply. Wu Jun came from the south wearing thin clothes.

General Ding Fengpi thought that he could no longer seize the opportunity, so he retreated temporarily, returned to his army in cotton clothes, and attacked the mountain with his army.

Ding Feng didn't think so, but said happily:

"There was a sudden heavy snowfall, and our army was unprepared. The Han soldiers must also be unprepared. They must be huddled in the military tents and less than alert. It is the right time for a surprise attack.

Send the order and let the brothers start running, and they will feel less cold when they run.

This battle is very important for the victory or defeat of Dongxing City. If they win, they will be granted a title and a title. "

So the soldiers were asked to take off their armor, discard their spears and halberds, wear only helmets, hold knives and shields, wear only single clothes, and climb up the mountain lightly.

The Han army stationed in Xishan was the partial general Guan Lun, the great-grandson of Zhongyi Guan Yu. He was known to be brave and had a garrison of ten thousand people.

However, the weather suddenly dropped and the snow drifted heavily, which made it even worse when stationed on the mountain.

The weather was good when we set off, with clear skies. In just one day, Guan Lun was not prepared for such drastic changes.

Seeing that many soldiers died of frostbite, fortunately, after being reminded by the Army Sima, the army brought alcohol, so Guan Lun had to lift the ban on alcohol, but he was not allowed to drink too much.

However, the soldiers below finally saw the life-saving straw, and they drank fiercely. The temperature increased, but the alcohol intensity soon came up, and many people fell drunk.

Not only that, many generals also took chances and hid in their tents to drink heavily, completely relaxing their security vigilance.

Probably in their eyes, no one could launch an attack in such a freezing environment.

Soon, Ding Feng, who was steaming all over, led his troops and appeared in front of the Han army guard post.

However, the sentry had just been drinking, and his reaction was very slow. He did not react until he heard the drumming and shouting of Ding Feng's men, and shouted to his comrades who were shrinking at the base of the wall below to close the gate of the village.

But it was too late, Ding Feng had already entered the camp.

In just an hour, Xishan was captured by Ding Feng, who beheaded more than 6,000 people and captured 2,000 people. The Han general Guan Lun was beheaded.

Xishan fell into the hands of Wu State, and formed a situation of flanking the Han army camp below Dongxing City.

Now if Dong Yun wants to attack Dongxing, he has to guard against sneak attacks from Xishan. If he wants to attack Xishan, he has to guard against Dongxing leaving the city, which is very uncomfortable.

Zhuge Zhan and Li Yan, who attacked Dongguan and Xiguan, did not achieve any results and still defended the city.

The failure of the Eastern Route Army was a foregone conclusion.

November 23

Yuzhou, Runan County, Xincai.

After finding out the battle report of Dongxing, Quan Li, the master of the Sima secret agent hall who foresaw the defeat of the East Route Army, was leading his men and his son Quan Gui slowly into a private post on the official road with their horses.

In today's world, in addition to the organized inns set up by the imperial court, there are also private inns opened by some businessmen, but there are backgrounds behind them.

The purpose of his trip was to return to Jiangling and explain the specific battle report of Dongxing to Master Sima face to face. After all, there were some things that were not suitable for the people below to know.

"Strong man, do you want to rest?"

A shopkeeper in his thirties came out from behind the counter and said to the leader Quan Li with a smile.

"No, give our horses good fodder and some food. Once the horses have rested, we will leave."

Quan Li said while handing a handful of street signs to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took the street sign and handed Quan Li and others to the waiter, asking him to take their seats. He then arranged for the groom to feed their horses, then walked behind the counter and copied the personal information on the street sign.

The shopkeeper quickly transcribed the basic information into the official information form in just a moment.

"Thank you for your cooperation, warrior. What would you like to eat?"

The shopkeeper handed the street sign to Quan Gui next to Quan Li very respectfully and smiled.

"Anything you want! As long as you're full."

Quan Li looked around the surroundings warily and said casually.

"Okay, the ones in the back are ready to be served, for seven people."

The shopkeeper turned around and shouted, and a voice of agreement came from the back kitchen. He was full of energy and sounded like a strong man.

Quan Gui casually joked: "The shopkeeper's cook eats well." The shopkeeper laughed and said: "This road is an important traffic thoroughfare, business is good, haha."

At this time, Quan Li on the side intervened:
"Li Gui, I dropped a very important object on the road. You must go back and look for it along the road. You must find it.

By the way, I drew a picture for you, follow the instructions on the picture. "

Quan Gui was stunned, knowing that he was being ordered, and respectfully said: "I understand."

Then he went out, picked up a horse that had not eaten fodder, turned over, and headed towards the way he came.

After Quan Gui left, the food and wine were served on the table. The men on the side were about to use their chopsticks, but Quan Li suddenly lifted the table.

The huge sound echoed throughout the entire inn.

"boom!"

This is the sound of the inn closing.

The three merchants who were leaning against the door of the inn immediately drew their swords and guarded the door.

The entire inn seemed to come alive. The guests sitting around took out weapons from various hidden places and surrounded Quan Li and others.

The door to the second floor was also opened, and dozens of crossbowmen were looking down from a high position, aiming their crossbows at Quan Li.

Quan Li's five men were nervous as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

Only Quan Li looked at everything around him silently.

"Bah bang bang! Not bad, he is from the Dark Guard and the Quan clan. He is very vigilant, right Quan Li."

The shopkeeper clapped his hands, walked through the crowd, and stood not far from Quan Li.

Quan Li said calmly:
"At any inn, the guests were all in their twenties and thirties, and all of them were strong men. From where they were sitting, they were faintly surrounded by us. The cook in the back kitchen was not fat, but strong.

All the guest rooms on the second floor were tightly closed. What was strange was that after such a long time, no one came out to eat. This was very unusual for a transportation hub.

When so many coincidences are put together, it is no longer a coincidence. Right, Captain of the Guard. "

"Oh? How are you sure I am the guard captain? I haven't seen him before."

The person who came was none other than Black Yao, the chief of the secret intelligence guard.

Quan Li sighed and looked at Obsidian, gave a salute and said:

"Quan Li, deputy intelligence chief of Huai County, Hanoi County, Sizhou, has met the chief of the guard."

Obsidian smiled and waved his hand: "You and I are not colleagues, we are strangers to each other. I can't bear your bow. It will shorten my life."

Quan Li was silent for a long time and said slowly:

"Chief Guard, this is a helpless move. Do you think I still have a chance?"

Obsidian sneered:
"Then why didn't you give the twenty-three dead colleagues a chance? Abandoning the organization, assassinating colleagues, leaking secrets, just saying the same thing would be enough for you to die a hundred times.

You are also an old man of the secret guard. Just surrender and capture him. There is no chance of resistance. If you surrender, I might consider letting the person who just left go.

He is your heir. "

Quan Li suddenly looked at him hatefully and roared:
"Do I want this? I am a descendant of the Quan clan, and I have such a bright future among the secret guards. Why have I ended up in this situation? Why?

At first I firmly believed that the secret guard would send someone to rescue me, but for half a year, six months and ten days, I didn't see anything, not even a glimmer of hope, only endless pain, from childhood to adulthood. I've had enough.

No, I couldn't die there, I wanted to live, so I surrendered, but I didn't do anything harmful to the Bai family.

It's just that I no longer work for the Bai family. Do all the children of the family have to work for the Bai family? As a descendant of the Quan family, I have the right to live, but I cannot die.

Let me go, I promise to disappear immediately and never go back to my Lord. I just disappear from the world. My leaving will also be a great harm to my Lord. It will be good for both of us, how about it? "

Obsidian looked at him with pity:
"You know this is impossible. If you tell me who is behind the scenes, I can let you meet the captain of the guard. You may even hope to meet King Bai or Duke Bai. You know, what an honor this is."

"No, I can't say, I am a sinner, I can't see them, I will stain them, stain the family, I am a sinner, a sinner..."

Quan Li seemed to have his psychological defense completely broken and wanted to draw his sword and kill himself.

"Stop him!" Obsidian shouted immediately.

Four crossbow arrows pinned its limbs to the ground with precision.

Hei Yao was about to step forward, but was blocked by the five people around Quan Li, but Hei Yao killed two of them with two swords, and the rest were also eliminated by his men.

When he walked in front of Quan Li, he was bleeding to death from all his orifices. He died from biting the poison sac in his mouth.

Seeing the extremely miserable death of Quan Li in front of him, Hei Yao didn't pay attention. He looked at the captured person and asked indifferently:

"do you know?"

The man was trembling. Hei Yao knew that the clue was broken. It seemed that Quan Li was the only one who knew the mastermind behind the scenes, but his son might know something.

While he was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

Obsidian motioned to his men to open the door. A man in black ignored the blood in the room and walked up to Obsidian:
"Guard Captain, run away!"

Obsidian sighed:
"As expected of a descendant of the Quan family, he is so elite even without being trained in the family."

Then he looked at the Yuzhou Guard Chief on the side and said ruthlessly:

"The ambush was revealed, and a key figure escaped. You, the Yuzhou Guard, have been a little comfortable these years. Find a time, make a good handover, and go to the Executive Yuan to receive the punishment. The position of Yuzhou Guard Chief should be filled by someone who is qualified. Bar."

The Yuzhou Guard Chief bowed lonely and agreed.

After looking up, Obsidian's figure had disappeared. Then he changed his humble demeanor along the way and roared at the secret guards surrounding him:
"What are you waiting for? Clear the place and wait for the government to come? It seems that you, the Runan Guard, have been too comfortable in these years. For such an important operation, your guard commander does not even come in person.

Let him come to the state tomorrow to collect his punishment. It's over. "

After saying that, he angrily left with the state guards, leaving only the deputy intelligence chief of Runan and dozens of secret guards, weeping and cleaning up the mess at the inn.

An hour later, a fat rich businessman came here with a few servants, took the key, opened the inn, and said excitedly:

"I got such a crucial position, the sky has eyes."

Opening the door and looking at the brand new furnishings inside, I felt very excited again:

"Hey, there's no need for me to buy new items. It's so clean. It's time for me to get rich. I really have a talent for business. Maybe I can join Bai's company. The next one who will be as rich as the country is me. Haha."

Immediately, people were arranged to take over the inn, put up a new sign, and reopen it.
