Chapter 83 Prepare to defend the city
After Wen Han said this, he looked at Gao Shun for a long time. After a long time, Gao Shun said.
"Wen Sima, are you going to fight with this Qiang Hu man at the last minute?"
Gao Shun thought that Wen Han made up his mind to fight to the death and defend Linhe City.
"No, General Gao, you are wrong. Everyone's life is unique and unparalleled in the world. I cherish my own life, and I cherish the life under his command. I'm afraid that I can't stand the arrival of the rescuers of Lord Assassin, and Linhe City will be broken. At that time, we want to withdraw our troops, but we are afraid because the people in the city are still there. If the people are allowed to leave now, we can feel at ease if we withdraw.
Moreover, the Qianghu people were attacked by me just now, and my black wind rode a fire in the Qianghu people's camp, and now the Qianghu people must be still cleaning up the mess. While it's dark, it's time to cover the people's departure. There are still three or four hours before dawn. By tomorrow morning, these 36,000 people should also leave.
Gao Shun listened carefully. After Wen Han finished speaking, Shi Li agreed.
"Wen Sima is right, and I'll order it!"
"Good! I will also call for cooperation. In addition, you suggest that the people try to lighten their belongings and leave with some gold and silver treasures. If some excessively heavy belongings are difficult to carry, they will stay. After all, property is outside the body, and life is still the most important. What's more, before the moment of life and death, we will not abandon the city easily. If this time, it is not necessarily impossible for us to wait for the rescuers sent by Ding Chishi to come and repel this Qiang Hu people.
Listening to Wen Han's arrangement, Gao Shun admired his ability in his heart. After Wen Han's instructions were completed, Gao ordered his subordinates and began to order the people to pack up from door to door. Guan Yu and Xu Huang were also called by Wen Han and asked him to lead his own soldiers to assist Gao Shun.
At the beginning, many people did not want to leave. However, Gao Shun guarded Linhe County for many days, and his people were close to the people and were deeply loved by the people of Linhe. Gao Shun patiently said the reason. Later, Wen Han also came to persuade him. When those people heard that Wen Han was the champion of Xiudu, they were immediately relieved and their resistance was much less. They tidied up one after another, and the family went to the gate of Linhe South.
The soldiers of Wenhan Army and Gao Shun Army carried luggage for the people and maintained order all the way to the gate. Most of the people left in the direction of neighboring counties such as Xiudu or Hudao. There are many cities in these two counties, which is enough to accommodate 36,000 people.
Wenhan's army and Gao Shun's army were busy all night, and because Gao Shun's army had been defending the city for a few days, there were many people in Qianghu, and the offensive was extremely strong, and Gao Shun's army was physically and mentally exhausted. At that last hour, he couldn't stand it. Wen Han insisted on letting Gao Shun take his men to rest. Gao Shun couldn't refuse. He also saw that his soldiers were so tired that they were going to fall asleep while standing. He also took Wen Han's kindness and led the soldiers down to rest.
"Champion. I heard from the Xiudu man that you are a god sent by the world, and you can kill the Qianghu people with one finger. You should protect this riverside city. In addition, Lao Weng's family lives in ten households in the four lanes in the south of the city. There are also two old cows and five chickens at home. These poultry old men have been raised for a long time and are reluctant to eat them. Just give it to the champion. You have to behave well and don't disappoint the old man's heart.
The last one who left was a white-haired, over-year-old man. His hands full of wrinkles like chicken bones, grabbed Wen Han's palm tightly, and said slowly. There is a lot of reluctance in a pair of turbid old eyes. Wen Han nodded and smiled at the old man.
When the old man saw Wen Han laughing, he also smiled, with his mouth wide open, only five or six teeth, but he smiled very brightly.
"I'm leaving home. Where is the home from the mountains and rivers? The girl from 30 years ago, where is Yiren?
The old man left with a faltering pace, humming the ballad. Wen Han listened quietly in the back, watching the old man's back disappear before stepping away.
The sky is not yet bright, the sky is full of dark clouds, dark one after another, and there are bursts of thunder from time to time. It seems that there will be a storm.
"I hope that the people on the river can catch up with the arrival of the destination before the storm comes."
Wen Han looked up high in a low voice. After that, the people of Wen Han's army rested in many empty rooms in the city. Among them, Wen Han was strict with his sergeants who could not move a needle in the room and could only go to bed to rest.
At this time, on the other side. In the Qianghu camp, Keba Wuyan woke up very early. He was full of hatred and couldn't sleep all night. He really wanted to break through the gate of Linhe, slaughter the Han people, and catch the red-faced man who killed his own brother yesterday. According to the information he obtained, his other brother, Ke Ba Wujiang, was also killed by a red-faced man, which should be the same identity as the man yesterday. And this red-faced man is also the general under the command of the Han general Wen Han. I guess the soldiers and horses that sneaked yesterday were Wen Han's military horses.
That is to say, Wen Han is in this river city. Thinking of this, Keba Wuyan couldn't suppress the infinite murderous intention in his heart. He originally had three younger brothers and an only son. The youngest brother is now staying in the territory of Qianghu. The other two brothers were killed by the red-faced general of Wen Han's army, and the only child was shot by Wen Han. It can be said that Keba Wuyan and Wen Hanjun have an irrecontwined relationship.
"Recontify the people. Half an hour later, start to attack the city!"
Ke Ba Wuyan ordered coldly, and all Qiang knew that his hatred was higher than the sky. How dare he dawd to daw a trace of it? He immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare. Half an hour later, 20,000 Qiang Hu iron riders, 4,000 gold knives and warriors, and 6,000 knife and axes, a total of 30,000 people were ready to go. Originally, Keba Wuyan had 33,000 soldiers and horses. Yesterday, Jingwen Han's army attacked, killing more than 2,000 people and injuring about 1,000. However, for the large army of Keba Wuyan, the number of casualties is not as painful as the heart.
"Exiting all the dogs near the river!"
Keba Wuyan pulled out the golden knife around his waist and rode in the front of the army, Ling Ran shouted.
"Exiting all the dogs near the river!"
"Exiting all the dogs near the river!"
Suddenly, a wave of angry waves shook the mountains and the seas in unison, and the momentum of 30,000 Qiang Hu people was really amazing. Ke Ba Wuyan was very satisfied with the momentum of his troops. He pulled the reins and took the lead. After that, 30,000 Qianghu troops followed neatly, all of whom were grinding their fists, and they had no intention to kill.
After a while, the Han army, who was waiting in Linhe City, saw Ke Ba Wuyan's army rushing quickly in ten miles, and quickly notified Gao Shun and Wen Han, the two generals. Wen Han suddenly woke up with a hunch. As soon as he stood up, he was reported by the soldier, and immediately walked out with the soldier.
After Wen Han came to the gate, he saw Gao Shun. Xu Huang and Guan Yu spent half a column of incense time to sort out the soldiers and horses, and they also came. He quickly ordered his men under his command to stand in a good position, and some soldiers brought countless arrows and big stones. Others are boiling water in a large pot.
Wen Han is familiar with ancient history and has a clear understanding of the talents of every general of the Three Kingdoms. Among them, in the field of defending the city, Xu Huang can be said to be one of the best among Wei generals. He once guarded Fenyin and suppressed the east of the river, which made Ma Chao and Han Sui out of reach. He also guarded Jiangling with Cao Ren after the Red Cliff War, which made Zhou Yu retreat.
The most famous, Xu Huang's Fancheng encirclement. At that time, Guan Yu led the army to attack. Yu Ban and Pang De are the main and deputy generals of Fancheng. The seven armies were flooded by Guan Yu, and the whole army was destroyed. After that, Guan Yu advanced all the way to Yancheng. At that time, Cao Cao sent Xu Huang to guard, and Xu Huang built a long chasm, indicating that he would cut off the back road of the Shu army.
The Shu army was afraid of being besieged, and the burning camp retreated. Xu Huang's army entered Yancheng, and the battalions on both sides gradually approached the besieged Shu army. Xu Huang's camp was only three feet away from the siege of Guan Yu. The main force of Guan Yu's army was stationed in the head, and there were four other tombs. Xu Huang gradually took the advantage, took defense as the attack, and used the east to attack the west tactics, and threatened to attack the head, but he unexpectedly raided the four tombs.
Guan Yu was afraid that the four tombs would be lost. He led five thousand riders to fight and was defeated by Xu Huang. Xu Huang took advantage of the victory and rushed into the siege of the Shu army. The Shu army was defeated, and many of them threw themselves into the water and died. Guan Yu, who originally occupied a good situation, had to drink hatred and retreat. As a guard, Xu Huang can still change from passive to active. Use soldiers like gods, and the defense and attack are exchanged. He was called better than Sun Wu and Rong Tho by Cao Cao. Cao Cao personally went out of the camp to welcome Xu Huang.
Of course, now that Xu Huang and Guan Yu are under the command of Wen Han, the siege of Fancheng in history will not reappear. And today's Xu Huang's ability is not half as good as that at that time. Xu Huang is still young and needs to be polished on the battlefield. However, Wen Han is confident and will not bury Xu Huang's talents. The command power of defending the city this time was given to Xu Huang, which made Xu Huang feel flattered by his trust in Wen Han.
"Public. I have made it clear to Gao Shun, and all the 2,500 people under his command are under your command. Today, it depends on your performance.
"Although Xu Gongming is not talented, he will never live up to the high expectations of Lord Sima!"
Xu Huang knelt down on one knee and took the order with his fists. The Qianghu army has gradually approached, and the deafening shouts made the whole Linhe City shake.
Xu Huang's face was resolute. He took a step and squinted at the platoon of Qianghu troops for a long time. I quickly thought about the timing of the first round of archery. Soon he decided that Qianghu's army was still three miles away. He waved his hand and shouted.
"Zhang Gong!"
In the city, there were 2,200 black wind riders, 2,200 infantry, and 2,500 people under Gao Shun's command, a total of 7,500 people. At the same time, they picked up the big bow.
Qianghu troops are getting closer and closer, and there are still two miles away.
"The arrow!"
Qianghu's troops are only one miles away, and the Han army in the city has seen its ferocious face.
"Aim!"
Xu Huang's heart is beating and his eyes are narrowing. Qianghu people have not yet reached the best distance, and the first round of archery is particularly important. If they can block their momentum, Qianghu people will vent their spirit first and their morale will be greatly reduced.
It's close, it's close. There are still 200 meters, 100 meters.
When the Qianghu people and horses were only half a miles away, all the Han soldiers in the city were sweating and extremely nervous. This is too close.
"C shoot!"
Finally, Xu Huang's order was issued. After waiting for a long time, the 7,500 Han army immediately shot arrows. Countless arrows, like raindrops, are covered with arrows. Suddenly, there was a sad scream from the city, and many Qiang Husts who rushed forward were shot down. Ke Ba Wuyan is eager to attack the city and has not yet lined up. Usually, he will not make this low-level mistake and let the cavalry be the vanguard of the siege. This is really a mess. Many Qianghu people who fell down had no time to get on the horse. The frightened horses fled everywhere and knocked over many Qianghu soldiers.
