Although Chen Cang is dangerous, he can't stop the flying pigeons; Although the pass is strong, it can't cover the sky.
The carrier pigeon flew over the mountains and mountains with the news that Chang'an and Tongguan had been breached, landed in the Han army camp, and then presented it to Xu Huang and Guan Yu by the scouts, and immediately summoned the troops under their command to gather in the commander's tent to discuss countermeasures.
In the handsome tent, Guan Yu and Xu Huang sat down on the left and right, and Gan Ning was treated as a partial seat because he was an old qualified minister of the dragon.
Other civil and military generals, including Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, Fu Youde, Zhang Xian, Yang Youji, Yan Chengfang, Guan Ping, Guan Ling, Xu Ning, Fu Wei, Wang Ping, and other military generals, as well as Fa Zheng and Xu Shu, were all separated on both sides.
Although Xu Huang's qualifications are older, Guan Yu led a corps of 50,000 people to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it can be said that it was Guan Yu's choice that caused Liu Bei to fall into a predicament, which caused the Sun-Liu alliance to collapse, and only then did Liu Bianjian destroy Sun Ce and quickly occupy the entire Jingzhou, so Liu Biao took Guan Yu a special look.
In addition, Guan Yu's knife split the bear and the sea, and he rode Hanzhong alone to pass five passes and cut six generals, which shocked Huaxia; confronted Lü Bu head-on in Jiangling, which directly led to the total annihilation of Lü Bu's army, and ambushed the troops in Maicheng to capture Zhu Yuanzhang alive, with great achievements, so he was named a "former general" by Liu Wei; The status is only below Li Jing, Yue Fei, Wu Qi, and Qin Qiong, and even one level higher than Xue Rengui, Xu Huang, Wei Yan, and Ma Chao, the four town generals, so he sits in the position of the main general.
After the generals gathered, Guan Yu said loudly: "I just received a flying pigeon message from Chang'an, Zhong Xiancheng surrendered, Ding Yanping of Tongguan was captured alive by Zhao Zilongsheng, Deng Yuxianguan surrendered, but was killed by a cold arrow, Xie Yingdeng is nowhere to be found.
Now that Chang'an and Tongguan have all belonged to our army, and Zhu Di, a traitor, is still sticking to Chencang, how do you think we should use our troops?"
"Fight" Gan Ning slapped his thigh violently, and made a simple and rude decision, "The other legions have already entered Chang'an, and we are leading an army of 200,000, but we have been blocked by Zhu Di's son of a bitch in Chencang for more than half a year, is it unbearable to cook on the third watch tomorrow, attack the city on the fifth watch, and take Chencang at all costs."
Zhang Fei clenched his fists and agreed: "Gan Xingba said very much, Zhang Yide, a Yanren from me, is willing to take the lead and take the lead in attacking the city in the rain of arrows and rolling stones."
The generals were passionate, Yan Chengfang, Guan Ling, Xu Ning and others clenched their fists and asked for battle: "Please give the order of the two generals to attack the city, and the last general is willing to be strong and persistent, take the lead, and say anything tomorrow to break through Chen Cang, so as not to be laughed at by other corps."
"Hehe, generals, please be calm and don't be impatient" Fa stroked the goatee under his chin with his hand, and smiled and signaled the generals not to be excited, "Since Chang'an and Tongguan have been broken, only Zhu Di, the lone army, is at the end of the road, and it is estimated that it will abandon the pass before early tomorrow morning."
Our army doesn't have to waste a single soldier, and it can take Chen Cang without blood."
Because of the cold weather, Xu Shu put his hands together, put them in front of his lower abdomen, and said solemnly: "I agree with Fa Xiaozhi's judgment, without Chang'an as a backing, the food in Chencang Pass is limited, Zhu Di has no need to stick to it, there are only two roads in front of him, either surrender or escape" Guan Yu was sitting precariously, stroking his three-foot hair, and said in a deep voice: "If Zhu Di wants to flee for his life, where will he flee to, the two military advisors will analyze it, and Xu Gongming and I will make countermeasures tomorrow morning." ” Fa Zheng pointed to the west: "First, like Shi Dakai, go through the grassland to the Western Regions to join Xiang Yu." ” Zhu Di's current situation is different from Shi Dakai's, Shi Dakai did not pursue soldiers at that time, and it was summer, so he was able to cross the mountains and mountains in the west of Yizhou and go to Daxia.
And now it is different from then, all the counties in Yongliang have been taken by our army, the counties along the way are guarded by soldiers, and there are 200,000 troops of our side outside the pass, Zhu Di wants to repeat the scene of Shi Dakai, it is simply difficult to climb to the sky" As soon as Fazheng's voice fell, Xu Shu immediately made an analysis.
Xu Huang, who had never spoken, interjected: "Xu Yuanzhi's analysis is reasonable, Zhu Di wants to escape from Yongliang and go to Daxia to join Xiang Yu, it is almost impossible.
But there is still this possibility when there is no way out, and a force must be sent to intercept it. ” Fa Zheng continued: "The second direction of Zhu Di's escape may be to go to Bingzhou to defect to Cao Cao, compared to going to Daxia to defect to Xiang Yu, this possibility is the greatest, and cavalry must be dispatched to quickly bypass Chencang Pass to intercept in the area of Duyang and Qixian, and strive to completely annihilate Zhu Di's corps." ” Xu Shu bowed his head and said: "What Fa Xiaozhi said is extremely true, Zhu Di is the most likely to defect to Cao Cao, and the distance is short, it is difficult to intercept, and the troops must be dispatched in advance." ” Guan Yu's eyes swept to Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, you take Zhang Xian and Xu Ning, select 20,000 cavalry, immediately leave Chencang and march north, make a detour to Duyang and Qi County to fortify, and cut off Zhu Di's direction of escape to Qi County." ” Zhang Liao took a step forward and gave his hand: "The prince and the prince are in charge, rest assured, the last general will definitely march towards Duyang non-stop, and will never let Zhu Di escape from Yongzhou." ” And the speed of the noble, Zhang Liao did not waste time, took Zhang Xian and Xu Ning out of the tent, selected 30,000 cavalry, and galloped away in the northwest direction.
After Zhang Liao led the cavalry away, Guan Yu summoned Fu Youde out of the ranks and instructed: "General Fu Youde can take Yan Chengfang and Wang Pinger to select 30,000 elite soldiers to set up an ambush in the direction of Yulu to the west, so as to prevent Zhu Di from fleeing to the Western Regions and going to Daxia to defect to Xiang Yu." ” "Obey the orders of the prince and the marquis, as long as Zhu Di dares to go to Yumoose, the last general will definitely not let go of a single soldier" Fu Youde gave up his orders, and took Yan Chengfang and Wang Ping to select 20,000 elite soldiers to leave the camp and march westward, preparing to set up an ambush in Yulu to intercept Zhu Di's escape route.
After the deployment of troops, Guan Yu said to Xu Huang again: "Tonight, I will wait for the pillow and send more scouts to spy on him, as long as Zhu Di abandons the pass and leaves, we will chase after him, and we must not let Zhu Di, a boiled duck, fly away."
Xu Huang arched his hand and said: "What Brother Guan said is extremely true, if Zhu Di abandons the city and flees, you and I will divide the troops into two ways, chase them on the left and right, and never let go of a single soldier." ” In winter, the nights are long and the days are short, and the sky quickly gets dark.
At the third watch, the scouts who quietly touched the spying under the city wall of Chencang returned to the camp panting and reported to Guan Yu: "Qiyu Junhou, there are footsteps and horses' hooves in Chencang Pass, although there are no torches and horns, but it can still be judged that nine times out of ten the defenders abandoned the city and fled."
Guan Yu Huo Ran got up, his height of more than nine feet looked burly and majestic under the shadow of the lamp, and shouted: "Carry a knife and prepare a horse for me, and the whole army is ready to break the city and pursue."
"Kill, take Chen Cang, capture Zhu Di alive" With Guan Yu's order, 150,000 Han troops poured out, under the leadership of Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Zhang Fei, Gan Ning and other generals, carrying the tide of cloud ladders to the foot of the city wall of Chencang Pass, leaving only Fa Zheng and Xu Shu to lead 20,000 weaker soldiers to guard the wall.
Under the cover of night, the torches all over the mountains flickered like stars, and the 150,000 Han troops were densely packed, like a flood that broke the embankment and swept under the city of Chencang Pass.
The dense rain of arrows and rolling stones and trees on the city walls disappeared without a trace, and except for the banners that were hunted by the cold wind, only a hundred and ten scarecrows remained motionless on the city walls.
After being shot by an arrow with flames under the castle wall, it quickly burst into flames, and the illuminated castle wall was as bright as day.
The sound of "bang" came and went, a ladder as high as six or seven zhang leaned against the city wall of Chencang, Zhang Fei carried a snake spear in one hand, and climbed the ladder with one hand, and climbed the city wall one step ahead of Gan Ning.
"Hoohoo" Zhang Fei strode to the front of the city tower, and slashed at the iron rope tied to the suspension bridge, and sparks splashed everywhere.
After a slam of slamming, the iron cable broke and the drawbridge fell with a bang.
Gan Ning had already led his troops down the stairs and opened the city gate from the inside to welcome the army into the pass, and the 150,000 Eastern Han army under the leadership of Guan Yu and Xu Huang crossed the suspension bridge like a long dragon and entered the Chencang Pass.
After entering the customs, he didn't care about staying, and quickly went out of the city from the east gate, followed the pace of Zhu Di's army, and chased after him to the north.
After leaving Chencang Pass, Guan Yu, Xu Huang, and Zhang Fei were divided into three routes, Xu Huang took Gan Ning and Fu Wei to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to pursue on the left road, Zhang Fei and Yang Youji led 50,000 horses to pursue on the right road, and Guan Yu took his son Guan Ling and Guan Ping to raise 50,000 troops to pursue in the middle road, chasing all over the mountains and fields, and tightly biting the tail of the enemy.
"Those who capture Zhu Di alive will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold, promoted to the third level, and given 100 acres of fertile land" "Kill, Hugh is going to let Zhu Di go" The 50,000 remnants of the defeated soldiers were panicked like lost dogs, and under the leadership of Zhu Di, they fled to the northeast to Duyang County, preparing to go to Bingzhou to join Cao Cao according to Du Ruhui's suggestion.
All the remnants of the defeated soldiers understood that Zhu Di had gone, and there were countless people who took the opportunity to escape or surrender on the spot, and after Zhu Di fled more than 50 miles north, there were only more than 20,000 people left of the 50,000 soldiers and horses.
Guan Yu urged the rouge blood under his crotch, took the lead with the Qinglong Yanyue knife in his hand, and Guan Ling and Guan Ping led five thousand iron horsemen to chase after him, and when he arrived at Wuzhangyuan, he had already caught up with the rear of Zhu Di's army, and he slashed and slashed with knives, and the heads of the people who killed him were rolling, and blood flowed all over the ground.
Among the thousands of troops, a female general wears a white jade crown with wings on her head, wears a bright silver lotus leaf armor, a white Dawan war horse under her crotch, and holds a willow leaf Emei knife.
"That female general seems to be Guan Yu's daughter Guan Yinping, and she is also the fiancée of Liu Yu, the king of Lujiang, General Gao Siji went to capture her alive and forced Guan Yu to retreat" The horsewhip in Zhu Di's hand pointed at the female general, and ordered Gao Siji next to him to go out and arrest people.
"The Last General Commands" Gao Siji agreed, turned the horse's head, separated the retreating soldiers, and urged the horse to dance the gun and go straight to Guan Yinping. t1706231537:
