Rebirth of Lu Bu, the tyrant of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 382, ​​Yuan Shao attacked Shanggu
Yuan Shao led an army, with Wen Chou as his general, to attack Shanggu in Youzhou.

But it was blocked by Shanggu Pass, and the army was unable to advance for a while.

In the big tent, Yuan Shao said with a serious expression, "Right now we have gathered an army of [-] and are heading straight for Youzhou. I don't know what strategy the military advisers have to defeat the enemy. If we can break through the Shanggu Pass, we will be rewarded."

When it came to strategies, everyone became silent and lowered their heads, pretending to be thinking.

At this time, a smile flashed across the corner of Xu You's mouth, and he said loudly: "I watched the stars last night. Tomorrow night, the sky will be dark and there will be no stars in the sky. We can send a pair of soldiers to climb to the top of the city, quietly open the city gate, and lay in ambush." A large number of soldiers are going down at Shanggu Pass, and when the city gate is wide open, they should take advantage of the momentum and rush out, and Shanggu Pass can be breached.”

Yuan Shao nodded lightly, showing a thoughtful look.

In the middle of the night on the second day, as Xu You said, it was pitch black without a single star.

Yuan Shao asked Wen Chou to lead 100 soldiers to ambush the city, and Zhang Yun led [-] men to sneak into the city in the dark.

When the time comes, I will raise the fire as a signal, and I will lead the crowd to charge forward."

Zhang He bowed and said, "I will not disgrace my mission."

"The rest of the people prepare their torches and rockets and fight together. There will be chaos. Don't hurt your brothers."

In a few moments, Zhang He led a hundred soldiers, bowed left and right, slowly climbed up the city wall, and climbed up to Shanggu Pass silently.

He bent over and walked lightly behind several guards, and slapped his right hand fiercely.

The soldier passed out, and the other noticed something strange, and just turned around, Zhang He slightly lowered his right hand, leaving a bloodstain on the soldier's neck.

Immediately afterwards, a hundred soldiers climbed up to the pass, cleared the guards on Shanggu Pass one by one, and replaced them with their own men.

The other person did not disgrace his mission, climbed up from the other side, quickly wiped out the guards, and joined Zhang He. The two looked at each other and ran towards the gate with their soldiers.

Looking around at Shangguguan, there are hundreds of soldiers patrolling, and there are thousands of tents not far away, and it is estimated that tens of thousands of troops are entrenched here.

Zhang Yun made a show, and said softly, "Go and open the city gate, let the army enter the city, and I will leave the rear."

More than a hundred people walked quickly to the door.

There were more than a dozen people guarding the door, and when they saw Yuan Shao running, they shouted loudly, "Who are you?"

Without saying a word, Zhang He jumped up, and with the silver spear in his hand, he swept down, killing several people instantly.

Just as the remaining few people were about to attack, Zhang Yun had already stabbed out with a long spear, and more than a dozen people were killed one after another.

Zhang He strode over and wanted to open the gate, but unexpectedly, the gate was tens of feet high and very thick, so it was difficult for one person to open it easily.

Zhang He tried his best to open the door slowly.

At this time, the soldiers in Cao Cao's camp heard the noise outside and rushed out of the camp with weapons in hand.

Seeing the signal, Yuan Shao ordered an army of [-] troops to head straight for Shanggu Pass under the leadership of Wen Chou.

For a while, the scene was chaotic, with the sound of fighting and screams.

Yuan Shao held up the torch, stood on a high place, and shouted loudly, "The army has been defeated, put down your weapons, and those who surrender will not be killed."

Seeing the torches of the Jizhou army everywhere, the soldiers knew that fighting was a dead end, so they had to put down their weapons and surrender.

After counting the battlefield, there are countless soldiers and over ten thousand surrendered. These soldiers have nowhere to go, and they will die when they go back, so they had to join Yuan Shaojun.

Wen Chou occupied Shanggu Pass, cut off the army flag on the city, replaced it with Yuan Zijun flag, and ordered Yuan Shao and others to enter the pass.

Inside the big tent, Yuan Shao raised his wine glass and said with some joy: "We should respect Xu You first for this first glass of wine. If it weren't for his good strategy, we would not have taken down Shanggu Pass so easily."

"That's right, Brother General is right, Mr. Xu You actually knows astronomy and geography, it's really admirable," said another person.

Yuan Shao took a sip of the wine lightly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't speak.

Xu You said, "Shanggu is located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. It is a low-lying terrain. There are highlands on both sides. My lord can order archers to lie in ambush on both sides. You go out and lead them to the pass.
At that time, ten thousand arrows will be fired, and the enemy army will suffer heavy casualties, and then they will open the city gates and rush out, and this battle will be victorious."

Yuan Shao nodded, and ordered Zhang He to lead [-] troops to lie in ambush on both sides of the highland in Shanggu County.

Someone in Cao Cao's army yelled, "Who robbed me last night to go to Guguan, dare to come out and confront me head-on, and kill [-] rounds."

"Marching and fighting depends not only on force, but also on strategy. Last night I outwitted you at Shanggu Pass.

Today, I will come to fetch your Shanggu County. If you are sensible, get off your horse and surrender, and open the door to let me in.

Otherwise, I will order an army of [-] to attack the city, and after entering the city, nothing will be left," Yuan Shao said.

Although Yuan Shao only had more than 8 visitors, in order to strengthen his momentum, he naturally claimed to have an army of [-].

"Hmph, good tone, don't tell me I, Xiahoudun, am afraid that you will fail, so I will let the horse come here if I have the guts." Xiahoudun said fiercely.

Following Yuan Shao's order, one hundred thousand troops went straight to Shanggu County

Xiahoudun fought against the ten generals with one manpower, killing all directions, beheading the two generals Yuan Shao, seeing the army coming, abandoning everyone and rushing back to the pass.

Seeing that Xiahoudun had run away, everyone rushed up and chased after him.

All I could see were shouts of killing.

Yuan Shao's face darkened, and he shouted badly, but it was too late.

All I could hear was the sound of swishing through the sky.

The bow and arrow arrived in an instant, and screams and screams arose everywhere.

In just a moment, thousands of soldiers had already been defeated.

Seeing that the army was in an ambush, Yuan Shao hurriedly called for gold to withdraw his troops, intending to retreat from Shanggu Pass.

At this time, Xiahou Dun led thousands of light cavalry to charge out again, followed by tens of thousands of long halberd soldiers, shouting and killing soared into the sky.

Yuan Shaojun suffered heavy casualties just now, and now he received the signal to retreat, whoever dared to fight, just retreated one after another, but it was cheaper for Xia Houdun, killing more than a thousand and surrendering nearly ten thousand.

The next day, at noon, Yuan Shao was reading the art of war in his camp when Wen Chou strode in wearing armor and said with a big laugh, "It's spectacular, it's really spectacular."

Yuan Shao put down his book of war and said puzzledly, "What a spectacle."

"My lord, you will know when you go out and have a look."

Yuan Shao followed Wen Chou out of the camp and went to a higher place, only to hear the sound of roaring and galloping from a distance.

Looking around, countless waters of the Yellow River are rolling in, roaring ferociously, like a giant yellow dragon sweeping away from Shanggu County.

Yuan Shao smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Sure enough, there are so many people and so much strength. It took only one day to build such a dam. The action is quite fast."

Wen Chou said with joy on his face: "It's Mr. Xu You who predicts things like a god. The water of the Yellow River is indeed much more powerful than the [-] troops."

"For this big victory, I must remember that you may have made the first contribution. Quickly assemble the army, go all out, take advantage of the victory and pursue the pursuit, and go straight to Shanggu County!"

"promise".

After a while, inside the camp, all the generals sat facing each other, Yuan Shao said: "Now that our army has breached the gap in the Yellow River, the water of the Yellow River is rushing down, this upper valley will definitely not be preserved.

All the generals will fight out together with me, take advantage of the momentum to take Shanggu County, and kill Cao Cao alone."

"Now Shanggu County is flooded with water,

Xiahoudun will definitely send all his soldiers to support Shanggu,
Guanxia will definitely be empty of troops, we should take advantage of this time to take down Guanxia in one fell swoop and go straight to Shanggu County," Xu You said.

Everyone was surprised, the military division was really clever,

Yuan Shao nodded.

"I don't know how the lord intends to arrange it. We will obey the lord's orders."

"Look at it, although the pass is the strongest pass, as long as its troops are empty, the defense will naturally be weak, and we have already occupied the Shanggu Pass.

General Wen Chou will lead an army of [-] to attack its east gate.

The few remaining generals led the army straight to the main gate. Xiahou's army lost Shanggu Pass, and their morale was weak.

As long as we attack aggressively, we will be able to destroy the last trace of morale of the enemy army, and if morale looses, the soldiers will disperse.

However, he said that the water of the rolling Yellow River came rushing in like the roar of a yellow dragon. The defenders at Shangguguan only heard the sound of rumbling in the distance, but they didn't know why.

After a while, all the soldiers were dumbfounded, and before they could understand what was going on, the rolling water of the Yellow River had already swept in with an unrivaled power of human beings.

Only a loud "bang" was heard, and the city gate of Shangguguan was extremely strong on weekdays.

At this moment, it turned into countless pieces of wood and was swept away by the water of the Yellow River.

In an instant, there were screams everywhere, and countless soldiers were sucked into the Yellow River. As soon as Xiahoudun and others rushed out of the camp, they saw huge waves of hundreds of feet coming. run everywhere.

For a time, tens of thousands of soldiers, like refugees fleeing in distress, rushed to the high ground like throwing off their armor.

Xia Houba led nearly ten thousand remnant soldiers to the high ground, looked at the rushing Yellow River and the countless corpses of soldiers in the water, felt extremely excited and lucky in his heart, and thought: If I move slower, I will definitely be like them Death to the Yellow River ah.

He stopped for a while, and just took a deep breath, suddenly there was a loud shout in the jungle, and ambushes were all around him, and he was almost scared out of his wits immediately, and quickly hid in the crowd.

Xia Houba yelled that it was not good, and hurriedly led his soldiers to prepare to meet the enemy, but these soldiers escaped from the tiger's mouth just now and recovered a life, they were all terrified and retreated again and again.

Wen Chou was on the right, and Zhang He was on the left, each standing on one side, surrounded the nearly ten thousand remnant soldiers, "I'm going to arrest you if you don't put your hands up, are you still waiting for Grandpa to make a move?"

Xiahouba was Xiahouyuan's eldest son, quite talented, he looked around and saw that there were only a few thousand soldiers, so he calmed down a little.

Send left and right, dispatch troops and generals to kill Zhang He.

How could Wen Chou be a vegetarian? Seeing that the army was coming to kill him, he gave an order, and densely packed long arrows "swish" out, and only heard a scream, and the soldiers walking in front fell down one after another. .

Xia Houba yelled: "Who is this person? Hiding in the grass and shooting cold arrows, what kind of hero is he? Come out and fight me for several rounds if you have the courage."

Wen Chou was originally a quick-tempered person. Hearing Xia Houba's provocation, how could he hide? He jumped out of the grass with a long knife in his hand.

"Grandpa, Wen Chou is here, could it be that he is afraid of you?"

Xia Houba sized him up, then nodded secretly, "Sure enough, he is a hero."

He also went up to meet him with a big knife in his hand, and the two fought, Xia Houba was defeated and retreated again and again.

When he was young, the other general led hundreds of soldiers and quickly surrounded him.

Zhang Yun yelled that it was not good, Wen Chou's face was furious, "You dog thief, you actually backtracked, seeing that you couldn't beat me, so you wanted to use this trick."

Xia Houba looked left and right, and shouted: "Presumptuous, whoever asked you to come, back down."

Those soldiers saw that Xiahouba was angry and did not dare to disobey, and just about to retreat, Xiahouen walked out, laughing and said: "Haha, you are not allowed to retreat, the way to be an army lies in strategy, since you know that our army is powerful If you dare to come out to play singles, don’t you come out to die, since you are here, then you don’t have to go, it’s a great achievement to catch you back.”

"Xiahouen, I am a general in the army with you, how can you make an order arbitrarily?"

"Hmph, don't forget, before you came, General Xiahou said that everything is up to me," Xiahouen said.

Xiahou Bakong has a lifetime of ability, but he is always suppressed by this useless Xiahouen, and resentment has long been born in his heart.

With a roar, Wen Chou jumped forward and pointed at Xia Houen.

The army came to besiege Wen Chou. Zhang Yun showed anxiety and immediately ordered the archers to shoot arrows on both sides, and the rest of the infantry rushed out with him.

Wen Chou took a step back, abandoning Xia Houen and came to meet Zhang He.

Wen Chou held a three-foot-long knife and poured out his blood. Even though Cao Jun had [-] soldiers, he couldn't help him. Countless people were killed. In addition, Zhang Ying joined him, and Xiahouen's army retreated again and again.

Seeing that there was Wen Chou in the front, Zhang Yun came chasing him, and the rushing water of the Yellow River was behind, I was very anxious.

Wen Chou roared: "The descendant will not be killed, and the descendant will not be killed."

Nearly ten thousand soldiers, having nowhere to go, dropped their weapons one after another and knelt down on the ground. Seeing that he could save his life, Xia Houen also knelt down immediately.

Zhang Yun nodded with joy, "Which of you is the chief general?"

Xia Houen's face was full of flattery, and he mistakenly thought that Zhang Yun would treat the general preferentially, so he rushed out, "I, I, I am the general."

Wen Chou glanced at him, feeling annoyed in his heart. It was this person who sent people to surround him just now. He kicked that person in the chest, slashed down with the long knife in his hand, and his head rolled out.

Zhang He didn't know, "How did you kill him?"

"What's the use of keeping such a treacherous person?"

Zhang He sighed, didn't say anything, and immediately went to count the other soldiers.

Xia Houba knew that he was defeated and there was no way out, his heart was getting colder and colder, he raised his head and looked at the clouds drifting by in the sky, with a desolate face, he took the long knife in his hand and put it on his neck, about to kill himself.

Wen Chou shot over with a long arrow and knocked down his sword, "What is the hero doing?"

"Haha, hero? Thank you for your praise. What's the use of keeping a defeated general? It's better to die and know."

"In the vast world, where is the Lord, I am the lord of the corporals, and I am eager for talents. Heroes are also rare heroes in this world. Why don't you vote for him, and you have to commit suicide."

"I am here, and I have been oppressed by Xiahouen everywhere, and I have long been unwilling to reconcile, but I have not met the Ming Lord."

Wen Chou supported Xia Houba, and said in a bold tone: "My name is Wen Chou, don't worry, I naturally like talents, and I will definitely be important to you."

"Oh, you are the number one fierce general under General Yuan Shao's command, General Wen Chou, no wonder you are so powerful!".

The two hit it off immediately, and immediately led Xia Houba to meet Yuan Shao.

Seeing Xiahouba's surrender, all the soldiers saw that there were countless defectors at once, so they organized the soldiers and went to Guanxia to join Yuan Shao.
