Chapter 22: Soldiers approach the city and force Kyoto (land)
The man came up to see Guan Sheng, and Guan Sheng asked, "Who are you, and why do you want to see me?"
The man said: "Please retreat and talk to the general again."
Guan Sheng laughed and said: "A general among millions of soldiers, if he doesn't have a single virtue and a single heart, how can he use his troops like a finger? Everyone in my tent, no matter how big or small, is a confidential person. There is no distinction between internal and external. You
I have something to say, but it’s okay to say it.”
After hearing this, the man said: "This is the young general Fan Rui. The day before yesterday, he and the imperial court commanded troops to garrison in Zhongmou City. Whoever wanted to fall into the treacherous plot and lost the military plane was not allowed to return to the capital to see him. Yesterday, we heard that the general came to garrison.
It was really a great joy. In the evening battle, Lin Chong and Liu Quantian were waiting to capture the general. They had already moved forward and retreated their troops in a hurry, all because they were afraid of hurting and attacking. This man has always wanted to unify the world and seize the imperial power. Although his subordinates
All the thieves have worked together, but the last few days of investigation have only been supported by Lin Chong and Liu Quantian. If these right and left arms are cut off, the rest of the people will submit. If the general listens to me, tomorrow and night, light bows will be short.
Arrow, ride a fast horse, go straight into the bandit camp from a small road, and capture Lin Chong and Liu Quantian alive. At that time, I will have two brothers in the camp to support me. My two brothers will be of the same mind as me, and we will set off a fire when the time comes.
Come, the internal and external cooperation will definitely succeed, we will capture Shi Jin and others alive and take them away from the capital, the general will definitely achieve great achievements, and we can also redeem our heavy crimes with the young general."
After Fan Rui said this, Guan Sheng was overjoyed. Please come into the tent and serve wine. Fan Rui began to tell Shi Jin and others what was true and false. Guan Sheng raised his beard and drank, clapped his knees and sighed without mentioning anything.
When Fan Rui retreated, Hao Siwen came out from behind and said: "General, I have sent people to keep a close eye on this guy, but it is best to be careful in his strategy, so as not to fall into their 'bitter flesh trick'."
"Well, I can take care of things like this." Guan Sheng said this, paused, as if he suddenly understood something, and said: "They are still worried about Zhongmou City."
"General, do you mean to capture Zhongmou City first?" Hao Siwen asked.
Guan Sheng said: "That's right, take Zhongmou City first, let Fan Rui go, you go with him for a while, then do it tonight, be careful, if this guy shows his weakness, shoot him without mercy!"
"Yes!" Hao Siwen accepted the order with his hands clasped in fists. The siege plan was set at midnight. He would pretend to attack from the west gate to attract troops, and then break through from the south gate. After receiving the order, Hao Siwen immediately went down to clean up and prepare his troops.
At the third watch of the night, Hao Siwen brought ten thousand troops and notified Fan Rui at short notice, asking him to follow the army and march directly to Zhongmou. Fan Rui immediately left without saying a word. This level of energy was beyond Hao Siwen's expectation.
Just as the two men quietly walked to the foot of Zhongmu City with their soldiers and horses, they were only three hundred strides away from the city. Under the moonlight, they could vaguely see the defenders shaking back and forth on the top of the city. Hao Siwen reined in the soldiers and horses.
He ordered his men to quietly pull out the sword from its sheath, and put the sharp arrow on the bowstring. Everything fell into place silently. Soon, with the sound of armor rubbing against each other, they were close to a distance of two hundred strides.
This is the edge of the arrow's attack range.
The defenders on the top of the city seemed to have seen the shining silver armor below the city, and became alert, and the soldiers and horses began to run quickly on the top of the city. Hao Siwen took two steps closer, and he and Fan Rui ambush in a chaotic area.
Among the withered grass. Hao Siwen's generals dispersed with two thousand soldiers and horses, trying to look as powerful as possible and killed them towards the west gate. Hearing the defenders shouting to kill, the torches on the city were getting brighter and louder.
Dense.
Hao Siwen's general led a group of troops and pretended to attack the west gate. The Green Forest Army there began to stir up chaos, and the fighting became tense and fanatical. Hao Siwen lurked, and after half a stick of incense,
Hearing the noise of the fighting over there getting louder and louder, the Green Forest Army must have deployed their troops. This is the opportunity! Hao Siwen waved the weapon in his hand and led Fan Rui and other main troops to attack the south gate.
, in front were the hob soldiers holding shields, followed closely behind by the main force of soldiers and horses, who were covering the strong men carrying the city cone, and they were coming quickly towards the city gate.
At this moment, the south gate suddenly opened, and the officers and soldiers who had rushed to the city came face to face. This unexpected change of situation caught Hao Siwen off guard. He had no time to think about what happened, but
The Green Forest Army who rushed out of the city gate had proven not only their courage, but also their toughness.
The leader raised a flag, but it was Wang Qing's flag. It turned out that after receiving the emergency letter sent by Zhang Shun overnight, Wang Qing, who got the news, immediately led his men to garrison. It happened that Wang Qing quietly entered the city
Not long after that, we encountered this fight.
Not only the south gate, but also the west gate also came out with officers and soldiers. Hao Siwen heard it right just now. The fighting there was really fierce. However, it was not an siege, but a fierce encounter. Those bluffing
The officers and soldiers were quickly overwhelmed. The green forest troops who came out from the west gate dispersed the officers and soldiers and circled to Hao Siwen's flank. With such a killing on both sides, Hao Siwen soon couldn't withstand it. With the combined efforts of Fan Rui, he took the
The remnants of the defeated soldiers were able to escape. Guan Sheng saw that he had failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice. He felt depressed, but there was nothing he could do.
The news that Wang Qing had come to garrison had reached Shi Jin's ears. Shi Jin and others were extremely happy in the camp and had done a great service for Wang Qing.
The next day, Shi Jin raised his troops and came to fight. Guan Sheng and Fan Rui discussed: "We suffered a defeat last night. Today we need to win the morale first!"
Fan Rui nodded in agreement, borrowed some clothes and armor, mounted his horse and arrived in front of the formation.
When Shi Jin saw Fan Rui appearing on the opposite side, he was furious. He pointed at Fan Rui and cursed: "I, Lu Lin, have never wronged you, so why did you leave privately at night?"
Fan Rui scolded him: "What a big deal this ignorant bandit can do!"
Shi Jin was angry and was about to go to kill him personally, but Zhu Biao rushed out from behind and said, "I will clean up the house for this kind of stuff." After that, he ran straight to Fan Rui.
The two horses met, and each of them showed their skills. After less than ten rounds of fighting, Fan Rui raised his sword and knocked Zhu Biao's spear from his hand and off the horse. He then stretched out his ape arm and easily captured Zhu Biao's horse.
Seeing this, Guan Sheng felt happy and thought: To steal the camp tonight will definitely happen! Guan Sheng was so happy that he pointed the tip of his whip and ordered the three armies, big and small, to cover up and kill them.
But Fan Rui shouted loudly: "Don't chase and kill him. Wu Yong has always been clever. If he just kills him, the thieves may have a plan." After Guan Sheng heard this, he also felt that it was reasonable, not to mention that there was a better plan at night, and he was not there.
This time the victory was defeated. Immediately, they hurriedly retreated their troops, and both sides returned to their own strongholds. They went to the Chinese army's tent, bought wine and drank with each other, and Guan Sheng was overjoyed. He immediately sent a message to the general to praise him, and Hao Siwen responded from both sides. He cited five
Tens of thousands of horse troops, with light bows and short arrows, asked Fan Rui to lead the way. They got up at the second watch of the night, and around the third watch, they went straight to Shi Jinzhai. The drums sounded as trumpets, and the inside and outside responded together. They marched together. The moonlight was as bright as day at night, and the officers and soldiers were all dressed in armor.
It's over, the horses are picking up luan bells, the men are wearing soft clothes and fighting, the soldiers are coming at a high speed and riding the horses together. Fan Rui leads the way with his horse, and everyone follows closely behind.
After turning around the mountain path and walking for about half a watch, I bumped into forty or fifty young soldiers in front of me. They asked tentatively in a low voice: "Isn't this General Fan Rui here?"
Fan Rui quickly stopped and said: "Don't talk nonsense! Follow my horse!" Fan Rui rode his horse ahead, Guan Sheng rode behind. Then he turned around the foot of a mountain and saw Fan Rui pointing the tip of his sword, and there was a sword in the distance.
A red light.
Guan Sheng also reined in his horse and asked in a low voice: "There is a red light, where is it?"
Fan Rui said: "That's Jiuwenlong's central army."
"Oh." Guan Sheng nodded, showed a slight smile, and immediately ordered the troops to mobilize. As they approached the red light place, they suddenly heard a burst of war drums ringing in the camp, and all the troops followed Guan Sheng.
Sha Ben came forward. When he looked under the red light, there was no one there. Not only was there no one beating the drum anymore, but Fan Rui, who was by his side just now, was also missing. Guan Sheng was shocked, knowing that he had been tricked, and hurriedly returned to his horse.
But he heard the sound of drums and gongs on the mountains on all sides. Guan Sheng panicked and chose the road, but the Green Forest Army was killed. The Green Forest Army broke into pieces and escaped individually. The Green Forest Army was divided into several troops, each of which was a heavy-armored cavalry. They were like a deep sea.
They pierced back and forth like a school of fish, often fighting with Guan Sheng and then leaving without any obstruction. Guan Sheng was a little dizzy from being killed by this group of people. When he quickly returned to his horse, there were only a hundred or so cavalry left by his side.
Follow.
Guan Sheng waved his sword and led the remaining soldiers out of the mountain mouth. At this time, he heard the sound of a cannon from the woods behind his head. Fishing fish came out from all directions, dragged Guan Sheng off the saddle, grabbed the sword and horse, took off his clothes and armor, and went forward.
After pushing back, he captured and threw him into the stronghold. Talking about Lin Chong, Liu Quantian led an army of horses to intercept Hao Siwen. Under the moonlight, the three horses met and the fight lasted for twenty or thirty rounds. Hao Siwen was not strong enough.
Jia, got back on his horse and left. A female general named Sanniang Qinghu Sanniang ran out from behind. He threw out a red brocade rope with his flying hand, wrapped it around Hao Siwen's arm and dragged him off the horse. At this time, the infantry rushed forward and seized the
He was caught with weapons, tied up with five flowers, and thrown into the stronghold.
Here Luan Tingyu and Sun Li led a troop of horses to capture Xuanzan, but they met each other on the road.
Luan Tingyu was furious, and jumped on his horse and brandished his spear to attack Xuanzan. The two horses crossed each other, and they were about to fight for a while. Sun Li turned his head and came over.
, came up and captured him. In addition, there was another group of soldiers and horses, led by Putian Li Ying, who led the large and small armies to kill Benguan Shengzhai and came to the stronghold. They first rescued Zhang Heng, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, and the captured
The green forest soldiers and others took away all the food, grass and horses, and then went to recruit the defeated officers and soldiers everywhere.
Shi Jin led the crowd back to Zhongmou City. At this time, it was getting brighter in the east. They sat separately in the Zhongyi Hall. They had already checked Guan Sheng and praised him. Hao Siwen escorted them up separately. Shi Jin saw him and walked down to the hall. He retired due to illness.
Soldier, I personally untied him and asked Guan Sheng to sit on a high chair at the head. Shi Jin said: "The two armies are fighting, and I have offended the power of the tiger. I hope to beg for forgiveness!" At this time, Fan Rui also came forward to abdicate his crime and said:
"Xiao Ke has received the general's order and must obey it. General Wanwang will forgive the crime of falsehood!"
