Chapter 416 Counterattack on Jiguan, Shu dispatches troops!
Jiguan guard Nangong Niu was brutally killed by Lu Bu's formation, and all his soldiers were wiped out by Pang De's army. This time there was an ambush in the valley, and the Zhao-Ma coalition returned with a great victory!
Seeing that Lu Bu ordered Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to lead more than 5,000 people to clean up the battlefield in the valley, while he, Pang De, Gao Huaide, and Ma Yuan took the head of Nangong Niu and returned to Shangdang first.
The army successfully returned to Shangdang. Lu Fengxian carried Nangong Niu's head, which was still bleeding, and walked straight to Wei Xu's tent. He threw the head directly into the center of the tent, and then looked at Wei Xu with a half-smile.
"Thanks to General Wei Xu's letter, our army was able to kill Nangong Niu Nasi. General Wei should be the first to take advantage of this battle!"
Wei Xu looked at the round head of Nangong Niu on the ground, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He was frightened by this bloody and violent scene, but when he heard Lu Bu said that he had made the first contribution, he was ready to be promoted and rewarded.
This made Wei Xu's originally anxious heart suddenly clear. He immediately stood up from his seat, walked up to Lu Bu in the center of the tent, and bowed respectfully: "It's just a small achievement, nothing worth mentioning. This is nothing."
Being able to kill Nangong Niu in battle is mainly due to General Fengxian's extraordinary bravery."
Lu Brown laughed loudly and narrowed his eyes as he looked at Wei Xu in front of him. What he thought in his mind was that this guy was smooth in dealing with things. He was able to prosper at Nangong Changwan's place, and he could survive here and accept rewards. It was true.
He has some skills!
"In this case, the next task of attacking Jiguan will be left to you. I order you to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to capture Jiguan before tomorrow evening.
Lest you make a mistake, I will let Gao Huaide, Shi Shouxin, and Cao Xing serve under you. Then generals Pang De and Ma Yuan will lead their armies to support you from the rear. You can attack the city boldly with confidence.
Can."
Wei Xu was shocked, Lu Bu actually gave him the important task of leading the army to attack the pass. Now that Nangong Niu is dead, there is no leader in Jiguan. Once he leads his army to the pass, it won't take long to directly capture the pass and then station troops in the pass.
, in this way, we can restrain the Sili rebel army from going northward and entering Bingzhou.
"Thank you, General Lu, for your kindness. Wei Xuding has fulfilled his mission!"
Lu Bu smiled knowingly, then took out a military talisman from his arms and handed it to Wei Xu. Wei Xu took the military talisman respectfully, with a trace of desire and hope in his eyes.
After Wei Xu received the military talisman, he held his head high and bowed to Lu Bu. Then he went to the military camp to recruit 10,000 elite soldiers, and then took several lieutenants with him to march to Jiguan!
As mentioned above, we know that Nangong Niu, the guard of Jiguan, died. Now Wei Xu personally led the army south to attack Jiguan, and under the orders of Nangong Niu, no more than a thousand soldiers were left behind at Jiguan.
This made it so that when Wei Xu led his army to the city, all the soldiers inside Jiguan were leaderless and were forced to open the city to surrender. Wei Xubing led the army to successfully capture Jiguan, the southern gate of Bingzhou without any bloodshed!
Later, Pound, Lu Bu, and Ma Yuan led their armies to Jiguan. The first thing they did after entering the pass was to strengthen the city defense. Everyone worked together to improve the city defense construction of Jiguan several times or even more than 100% in a short period of time.
.
At the same time, a week after the fall of Jiguan, Nangong Changwan, the guard at Xiaomengjin in Sili territory, received the news and immediately became furious and cursed Nangong Niu for his incompetence!
"Send an order for Nangong Niu to come to see me. It's been too long since I've beaten this guy. He's itchy? When Dong Gong is convicted, how can I bear the blame for him?"
Cheng Lian, a trusted general under Nangong Chang Wan Ming, led more than a hundred soldiers to the vicinity of Jiguan to bring Nangong Niu and the others back. Cheng Lian ran without stopping, but within a few days he came back with a sad face to report to Nangong Chang Wan!
"Nangong...General Nangong Niu is dead."
This news was like thunder on the ground, instantly exploding in Nangong Changwan's head. How could his brother Nangong Niu, who had grown up together with him, die just because he said he was dead? This is impossible, he wants to see a person alive, and a corpse when he dies!
"The last general led him to Jiguan, only to see a shriveled and skinny head hanging on the city gate. When we took a closer look, we found that the head belonged to General Nangong Niu."
Cheng Lian gingerly told Nangong Changwan everything he saw and heard. After he finished speaking, he saw that Nangong Changwan's eyes were bloodshot, his eyes were wide open with anger, his teeth were gritted, and his fists were clenched!
"Do you know which force is commanding Jiguan now? Send me an order to recruit 30,000 elite soldiers, plus 10,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry, to follow me north to Bingzhou, retake Jiguan, and avenge my brother Nangong Niu!"
"The general only knows that there is a big flag with the word 'horse' flying in the wind on the door. I don't know which force dares to be so bold and has no idea what is good or bad."
Cheng Lian saw Nangong Changwan's furious look. He was afraid that he would be harmed by the angry Nangong Changwan, so he bowed and saluted very wisely and then slowly retreated, went to the military camp to count 30,000 elite soldiers, and then
Lead the soldiers to prepare for the expedition!
Afterwards, Nangong Changwan wore battle armor, held a long halberd, and rode a peerless horse. He raised his hand and 40,000 elite soldiers responded. Their morale was good, their military morale was ready, and they were ready to go to war!
…
Let’s put aside the battle situation on the Bingzhou side for a moment, and then turn our perspective to Liu Bang’s side in Bashu.
After Liu Bang led his army to defeat Fu Jian's army last time, Fu Jian died of serious injuries and was succeeded by his nephew Fu Jian!
After Fu Jian succeeded to the throne, he began to recuperate and recuperate, quietly shrinking his sphere of influence and streamlining the number of troops. Internally, he rectified the officialdom and strengthened the security control of his jurisdiction. Externally, he united with the Menghuo and Di people to trade and trade for mutual benefit...
Let's talk about Liu Bang. After he led his army to victory, he went north and returned to Chengdu. He originally wanted to stay with his beloved wife Lu Fei, but he never expected that the story about Dong Zhuo from the Sili people would spread to Bashu and Chengdu.
The royal family member Liu Yan knew about it!
Liu Yan was furious, but he said that he raised his skinny arm, pointed in the direction of Sili to the east, and cursed that Dong was a thief who had harmed the country and the people and deserved to be cut into pieces with a thousand knives.
Not long after, news came from the outside world that the coalition of princes led by Cao Cao had gathered to besiege the Dong thief and save the emperor!
The gathering of the coalition forces was in line with Liu Yan's wishes, but he said that Liu Yan summoned Liu Bang and his generals to discuss how to lead the army to assist the coalition of princes in fighting.
Everyone discussed for about half a day, and finally decided to order Liu Bang to lead the army out of Shu and attack the Dong thief's rear area, so as to share part of the pressure for the coalition forces to capture Hulao Pass!
As for the specific allocation of generals, it is all handled by Liu Bang himself. Even if he has to transfer the generals from Liu Zhang, it is still feasible!
"Pass my order and all the generals will be summoned to my tent for discussion. This expedition to the east is of great importance to us, so we must not act carelessly."
The majestic Liu Bang's eyes were shining with majesty. His eyes were looking at the mountains on the horizon, and his heart was full of pride. At this moment, he was ready to go out to conquer the rebels. He was just waiting for the right time.
When the right location, people and people are combined into one, it will be the day when the army leaves Shu!
