Although Liao Hua is young, he is already an old world.
He was even a refugee in his early years.
Liao Hua's mood was quite complicated when it came to the Han Dynasty.
In the camp outside Shunyang City, Liao Hua sat in the central army's tent.
A bonfire was lit in the central army's tent, and the flames were leaping, bringing warmth and light.
For some reason, Liao Hua suddenly remembered that he escorted his mother to Guanzhong during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and also witnessed the sunset in Jingzhou, from Jingnan to Jingbei, from Nanxiang to Lantian, traveling through mountains and rivers, and now he is marching again.
Along the way, a lot of things seemed to have happened, but it seemed like it was just yesterday.
In the first year of Zhongping, when Zhang Jiao raised his arms and shouted "The sky is dead", Liao Hua from Nanjun of Jingzhou was fleeing to Xiangyang with his sick mother on his back. He originally thought that everything would improve after arriving in Xiangyang, after all, Xiangyang has soldiers and food.
Some people, not to mention that he and his mother are the people of the Han Dynasty. When they encounter danger, it is reasonable to seek help from the court and local governments.
However, in reason, it is often unexpected in the end.
Liao Hua was only fifteen years old at that time.
He first touched the decline of the Han Dynasty in the tide of refugees.
He saw the chiefs of local counties and townships in Jingzhou abandon the city and flee, and also saw the closed gates of the Fortress along the way.
He saw a woman betrayed him for a pancake and witnessed two families swapping children.
He had no intention of condemning the common men and women who betrayed themselves for food, but he just felt that things should not be like this, and that the great man should not be like this...
Outside the closed Xiangyang city gate, Liao Hua's three views collapsed, and the big man in his original heart showed an ugly posture.
The ideal was crushed by cruel reality for the first time, and his belief in the great man was abandoned on the road to escape.
After arriving in Guanzhong, a ceremony was held in Qinglong Temple, and the four words "seeking truth and seeking justice" became the new spiritual support in Liao Hua's heart. His desk no longer had "Lu Xiahou's Talk", but was spread out.
"Spring and Autumn" of.
In the first year of Taixing, the jokes made by Emperor Liu Xie at the Taimiao Ceremony were spread to Guanzhong, but Liao Hua couldn't laugh after hearing this. He witnessed the corruption of Shandong in the Han Dynasty, but he did not feel happy, but felt sad.
The gentry who once led the trend of the Han Dynasty and the enterprising children of the gentry, have now become one political performance after another, just like the Nuo dance in the Taimiao.
In the fifth year of Taixing, when Fei Qiang Chang'an issued a new government order, officially exploring the tentacles of management into the countryside, the three troop chariots in the fields led by inspection began to take shape. More strict accounting review began to be carried out.
Amid the wailing sounds of the children of the gentry, Liao Hua felt that he smelled some fresh fragrance in the rotten and smelly air of the Han Dynasty.
Now, it has been ten years since Taixing. Liao Hua's letter to Fei Qian has not written any loyalty, filial piety and righteousness for a long time, but lists the training of soldiers, the consumption of food and grass, and the amount of armor. He has been placed in his long-term for a long time.
There is also a martial arts lecture hall newspaper on the table.
During the Battle of Jingzhou, he became the leader of the side army, a little nervous and excited, but more cautious.
Danshui's victory was not enough to make Liao Hua expand himself. He also didn't feel proud of Niu Jin's surrender. After all, under the cavalry, the generals who achieved great military achievements were not just one or two...
"The captain thinks there is a fraud?"
The military academy in the next head asked.
Liao Hua nodded slightly.
Shunyang is not a very important node, at least not a point that will affect the entire Jingzhou battle situation, so for Cao's army, it is not very meaningful to defend. So from this perspective, Niu Jin is not a sure death situation, he is still okay
Retreat, but the price is a bit expensive...
"Can it be that Cao Jun discovered our actions and knew that he could not escape?"
Another military academy asked.
On the past two days, Liao Hua was sieging the city in a scrupulous manner, but actually sent a team to detour to the south of Shunyang. If you have the chance, you will launch a raid. If you don’t have the chance, you will do some small moves on the road, dig traps and intercept messengers, etc.
It can also cause panic within Shunyang.
Liao Hua still nodded slightly.
This is also possible, but the impact is not great.
Several military academies spoke in turn, expressing their opinions, Liao Hua listened and then made a decision.
...
...
It's late at night.
The northern suburbs of Shunyang.
Liao Hua lurked in the thatch, followed the river bank, rode a raft made and took advantage of the night to slash down.
A military academy expressed his willingness to come for Liao Hua, but Liao Hua felt that only by going to Shunyang to detect can he obtain the most real information. Anyone's retelling and conveying may cause mistakes, and once a certain mistake is not noticed,
It may lead to the failure of the entire battle.
The fishy smell of Danshui River mixed with night fog seemed to penetrate into the gaps in the iron armor.
In order to facilitate movement, Liao Hua and his soldiers did not wear thick armor, but only wore the simplest two-crotch armor. In this way, although the protection power was reduced, the relative flexibility was enhanced.
Dan water gurgled down, and the simple raft did not cause any alarm from Cao's army.
On the one hand, Cao's army is now busy building a temporary urn in the city. The sound of dinging dang is much louder than that of the water flow. On the other hand, Liao Hua has been attacking from the land for the past few days and has not used Danshui at all.
Some movements were taken, so the Cao army defenders in Shunyang gradually became less vigilant about movements on the waterway.
Liao Hua and others soon found a suitable landing place, then pushed the raft to the shore, and approached the flank of Shunyang City under the cover of night.
The Cao army soldiers on the city wall held torches and patrolled and moved back and forth, but their eyes were often attracted by the city, and they looked at the city more than they observed the movements outside the city.
Liao Hua was also a little strange at first, but when he and his people gradually approached the Shunyang City Wall, he heard all kinds of tiny sounds coming from the city, and they were amplified in the night...
"What sound?" Liao Hua asked, "It's not like it's around the door, but more like it's inside the city..."
The sound of knocking, friction, and collision is like a giant beast grinding its teeth in the dark.
However, what Niu Jin does in the city still needs further investigation.
Liao Hua gestured toward the gesture, and the scouts immediately followed the shadow and leaned towards the city wall...
These scouts are veterans and very smart.
They quickly took advantage of the cover of the war wrecks outside the city a few days ago, slid across the muddy ditch like a water snake, touched the foot of the city wall, entered the blind spot of Cao Jun's vision, and pressed his ears to Shunyang
at the foot of the city.
"There is a sound of wheels...what is this pulling?" A scout lowered his voice, "It fell down...is it a brick or a stone? Then the empty car left?"
"This was not transported from the city gate, but from somewhere in the city..." another scout added.
In the evening, Niu Jin claimed that he would need time to clean the door hole. Now, not only has it been cleaned up, but he has also transported stones and bricks, and perhaps wood, etc. from other places...
The older scout raised his head, looked at the shaking fire on the city wall, and silently estimated it in his heart, and then whispered: "The city is very dynamic... It just so happened to cover up the wall with a grab hook and take a look... The Cao army team patrols over
... Wait and don't move... OK, it's now!"
The grapple hook was thrown onto the wall and stuck on the battlements.
The sound of metal collision that should have been very crisp was overshadowed by the sound of transporting and dumping materials in the city.
The scout flexibly pulled the rope and climbed up at the corner of the city wall like a gecko.
Not far away, Liao Huamao was watching quietly in the shadow, and his abdomen of dealing with Niu Jin's fraudulent surrender gradually became clearer...
...
...
The next day, Mao hour.
The cavalry camp moved violently, and soldiers followed the queue and marched out of the camp and rushed straight to Shunyang City!
After receiving the news, Niu Jin was shocked. While scolding Liao Hua for being unethical, he rushed to let someone climb the city to prepare for Liao Hua's siege.
But Niu Jin did not expect that Liao Hua's forward stopped outside the range of the crossbow when he rushed halfway!
"What is this...what is this for?"
Niu Jin's eyes widened.
Everyone on the head of Shunyang City, including Niu Jin, watched helplessly as the cavalry army outside the range began to complete the team, and then carried the rushing car and the ladder again and retreated...
『This...this...this...
Niu Jin felt that a bucket of paste seemed to be stuffed into his head.
The sun gradually rose, and the Cao army soldiers who were waiting nervously on the city wall were sweating.
Niu Jin didn't know what Liao Hua was going to do, and he didn't dare to order the soldiers to withdraw, nor did he do any other moves. Just when he was hesitating, he heard that there was a sudden golden drum in the formation of the Cavalry in the distance, and the Cavalry soldiers
He pushed the ladder again to rush down the city with murderous intent!
『Prepare! Prepare…』
Niu Jin subconsciously shouted, but he didn't know what he wanted to prepare for. Seeing the cavalry roaring, he stopped outside the range of the crossbow machine halfway...
"Little brother Liao Hua! The last one!" Niu Jin understood this time, "How dare you play with me?"
Niu Jin punched the mercenary.
This is not a serious siege!
If it is said that Liao Hua is not trustworthy, Liao Hua didn't really fight.
But if you just let it go, what if you don’t know if Liao Hua will directly attack the city wall next time?!
"Damn it, damn it!"
Niu Jin felt that his head capacity was not enough.
Arranged soldiers on guard on the top of the city to guard against Liao Hua, which was indeed possible to prevent Liao Hua from suddenly siegeing the city, but there were not enough people to build the urn city in the city!
Moreover, these soldiers guarding the city were standing on the top of the north city, all under Liao Hua's eyes. If they just retreated openly, even a fool knew that there must be something wrong...
Moreover, Niu Jin was not sure whether he would induce the cavalry army to take advantage of the situation to attack the city after he withdrew these soldiers!
what to do?
Niu Jin gritted his teeth, and then thought of a way to tear down the east and west walls. Oh, a way to tear down the south and north gates. "Come on! Send an order! Let the soldiers from the south gate come to the city to help build the urn city!"
As long as the urn city is built and the firewood is laid, all the efforts will be worth it at that time!
The urn city, build the urn city!
Niu Jin was like a gambling ghost sitting at a gambling table, betting everything on his face, "A man died and his eggs were facing the sky, and he would never die for thousands of years!"
Liao Hua bluffed his voice at the north gate of Shunyang for a day, and slowly withdrew his troops back in the evening. He also gave Niu Jin an ultimatum that he would open the city gate tomorrow at the time of Mao, otherwise he would deliberately deceive the cavalry, and he would have a crime.
wait!
After hearing what the soldiers of the Cavalry Army said, Niu Jin didn't know what Liao Hua was thinking...
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥Book⊥⊥⊥First⊥!
But no matter what, now that things have come to this point, Niu Jin can only wait for the next day's "opening".
Anyway, it's already T+1...
...
...
When the morning sun rose again, the atmosphere inside and outside Shunyang City suddenly became tense.
Niu Jin stood nervously on the Shunyang City Wall with heavy dark circles, watching the soldiers in the cavalry camp in the distance, slowly flowing out.
I don’t know if it was Niu Jin’s personal feeling or if the Cavalry Army was really slow this time. The sun had risen to the treetops, and half of the time had passed, and Liao Hua slowly arrived in front of the formation.
"I haven't opened the door yet, when will I wait?"
Liao Hua made people shout at the city wall.
Niu Jin felt that his palms were covered with sweat, mixed with mud, dust and blood, making him unable to help but rub them on the battlements, but it was obvious that it was useless, because the battlements were the same.
The dirty and dirty.
『Open... open the city gate!』
Niu Jin seemed a little hoarse when he heard his voice, but he quickly cheered himself up or cheered up the soldiers around him.
"Be ready! As soon as that boss enters the city, we will do it!"
The soldiers around responded sparsely.
Niu Jin thought he was a fake surrender, but not everyone under his command thought so.
But Niu Jin didn't care. All his attention was on Liao Hua. "Come in, come in soon... the door is open, so empty inside... Come in quickly...
But for some reason, the cavalry army today seemed to be particularly slow. Even the vanguard army that was about to line up into the city had been in full swing for most of the day. As the vanguard army was about to line up and prepare to enter the city.
When the guards beside Niu Jin suddenly screamed, "No! It seems that the south gate is running out of water!"
"What?!" Niu Jin was stunned and turned around suddenly, but saw thick smoke rolling in the south of the city, and a familiar and terrifying shout of killing came from a vague sound!
Niu Jin's blood solidified instantly!
...
...
The cavalry scout Zhang led the lead, bit the ring-headed sword and climbed up the last section of the city wall.
He was also wearing only two crotch armors, and there were soil and water stains stains on his robe when he passed through Danshui and the trenches.
Behind Zhang Gusu, there were about a hundred elite soldiers, following the five-clawed hooked rope ants!
Logically speaking, as long as the Cao army at the South Gate is a little more careful, the Zhang team will lead them to face major casualties. However, Niu Jin transferred most of the soldiers in the South Gate to the north gate to prepare to ambush Liao Hua, and the other
Even the Cao army soldiers who were still at the South Gate were busy all night last night. Now they are basically tired and have no intention of on duty...
Two or three Cao army soldiers seemed to hear something, and they forced themselves to rush into the corner tower, just as they came out when a cold light suddenly appeared, and the blood-sprayed heads flew in the air, falling into the moat under the city.
"Kill in!" Team Zhang kicked open the door of the corner tower with a kick, rushed in first, and chopped the Cao army soldiers who were resting on the ground.
『Armor change!』
With a low shout, the cavalry soldiers quickly put on Cao Jun's clothes.
"Set a fire! Send a signal to the captain!"
Several Hussar soldiers immediately kicked the bonfire in the corner tower and took out the burning wooden strips and lit fires everywhere.
"It's time to go! It's time to go!"
Some Hussar soldiers dressed up as Cao's army and began to shout loudly, pretending to put out the fire, but in fact they were staring at other Cao's movements around them.
A team of Cao's army patrolling the city heard the cry of water and rushed from the horse road with people, but was caught off guard by the Hussars ambushed on the top of the city!
The scout Zhang of the cavalry led the soldiers of Cao's army while slashing and yelling in a Nanyang accent: "The north gate is broken! The cavalry has entered the city! Everyone, escape!"
The terrified shout suddenly expanded and spread like a flame on the corner tower.
...
...
When Niu Jin finally realized the timing, the chaos caused by the South Gate had affected the soldiers' queues in the north.
On the one hand, Niu Jin wanted to stop the defeated troops in the South Gate from turmoil in the North Gate, and on the other hand, he had to guard against the cavalry in the north to prevent him from breaking through the newly built simple urn city. Both ends were in a hurry and could not take care of both ends!
The cavalry outside the city shot in a lot of rockets, igniting some preset firewood from Niu Jin, causing the array of Cao's soldiers who were trying to ambush Liao Hua to collapse.
"Master! Escape!"
The guard screamed, his face full of panic and fear.
When all the efforts of one side are expected by the enemy, it feels like an insect trapped in a spider web, struggling dyingly but meaningless.
Niu Jin's guards are like this, and ordinary Cao's soldiers are even more so!
Retreat?
Again, retreat again?
Niu Jin was also in a panic. Just as he was hesitating, suddenly, Cao's soldiers shouted in panic at the south gate, "Cabin Army! Cavalry Army is here again! We are surrounded! Surrounded
Now!』
The troops sent by Liao Hua to detour to try to disrupt the enemy's rear. When they saw the fire in Shunyang, they made great fuss and set off flags, making noises between the mountains and forests, which made the soldiers of the Cao army even more frightened.
"Master! If we don't leave, we will be surrounded!" The guard said anxiously, "We can still go to Ximen!"
Niu Jin couldn't help but look down at the sword in his hand.
That was the sword that Cao Cao personally gave to Niu Jin when he was serving as the captain.
"No!" Niu Jin pushed away the guard, "You go, go! The lord has been kind to me! If you escape again today, how can you see your lord again in the future?!"
This man who has not read many books and does not know any classics, has no intelligent mind or decent strategy, but at this moment, this time, he did not choose to escape, but shouted wildly and rushed towards him.
After the city of Wucheng, he rushed towards the fire scene that was lit by the city gate!
Niu Jin ran away, retreated, and was timid. But this time, he chose to rush forward to death!
Laughing wildly, fighting in the fire.
Roaring and fighting in the sea of blood.
His hair, skin, and armor were bursting in the fire, but he was still waving his sword in the doorway!
"Lord! I will be loyal to you!"
...
...
Liao Hua looked at the black smoke floating on the top of the city and was speechless.
『Report! The enemy's corpse cleared out from the door hole...』 Liao Hua's personal guard presented a general seal that was almost half-complex, and 『I also found this...』
Liao Hua reached out to take it, and seemed to be able to feel the blood and the heat of fire in the bronze seal. The words on the bronze seal had been burned by the fire and were a little blurred and difficult to distinguish.
Liao Hua lifted up his cloak, wiped it for a long time, and suddenly threw it into the Dan Water.
"Let him go with the water, it's cleaner than burying him in a chasm."
Liao Hua threw his cloak and said, "Send the order to complete the battlefield and inform the people of peace!"
