Chapter 596 Come and hit me
Some of the defeated soldiers were shot and killed on the spot, while others were injured and fell there wailing.
Liu Yin seemed oblivious to this and shouted sternly: "Hurry around and go to the back of the city. Someone will be there to help you. If you wait for the thieves to come, you will be trapped in death! Don't make a mistake!"
The defeated soldiers in front of the camp looked at each other in confusion. In front of the closed entrance of the camp, under the threat of strong bows and crossbows, some people finally moved and began to disperse to both sides.
Someone came running from behind. Unable to stop their pace, they passed the warning position and saw another hail of arrows on the wall of the village.
The crossbowman on the wall of the stronghold was there for the first time, but the second time there were fewer psychological barriers.
The defeated soldiers finally gave up.
Although the threat of the defeated army was eliminated, Liu Yin was still sweating faintly on his forehead. He raised his eyes and looked into the distance. There were more and more defeated troops behind him, and there was no complete organization.
This made him very worried, which showed that Ma Su had indeed been defeated.
Moreover, the Cao thieves obviously did not intend to capture the soldiers. They simply drove the defeated troops deliberately along the way in an attempt to attack their own camp.
Ma Su was among the defeated soldiers, with his hair disheveled and barefoot. He saw from a distance that the gates of the street pavilion were closed, and a crossbow was drawn on the wall. A look of shame appeared on his face. He covered his face with his sleeves and lowered his head as he followed. The defeated soldiers continued to run towards the back of the camp.
Liu Yin stood on the wall of the wall, watching the defeated soldiers below gradually divide into two groups and go around the two sides of the wall. His face did not look relaxed at all, but gradually turned livid.
His eyes fell to the south from time to time.
Sure enough, when the sentry cavalry of Cao thief finally appeared in the west, the sentry who went to the south to reconnoiter the news also came back with news: Cao thief appeared in the direction of Qingshui County, Guangwei in the south and was running towards the street pavilion.
Liu Yin nodded, expressionless: "I understand."
He looked to the west again and saw countless dark shadows looming out from behind the mountain in the distance. He smiled bitterly and said, "This cooperation is really close!"
If only facing Zhang He, Liu Yin would not be afraid even if there were twice as many people as him.
After all, it’s not like he has done nothing while stationed at the street pavilion these days.
The key point is that the street pavilion was originally mainly used to prevent Cao thieves from the south, rather than from the rear.
Now that the unexpected Cao thieves are coming from the west, how can there be any reason for the expected Cao thieves from the south to stay still?
The worst case scenario has finally occurred.
The Cao thieves from the south obviously came through the Weishui River Valley. It is even possible that they had agreed on a date with Zhang He, or that after Lueyang was defeated, Lueyang and Qingshui had already established contact.
They did not go to support Shanggui. They would rather risk the loss of Shanggui and come to the street pavilion to attack them.
The thieves on both sides surrounded them. There were not nearly ten thousand, but at least seven or eight thousand people. How long can I hold these two thousand men?
Thinking of this, Liu Yin let out a long sigh, "The enemy can cooperate and move, but my general is at odds with me. How can we be invincible? Yin's only choice is to die to serve the country."
The first chance of survival is to see whether Jieting and Longguan of the Han Dynasty are lost first, or whether General Wu first breaks through Shanggui and Linwei of Cao Cao.
If Jieting and Longguan are lost first, then Cao's army of thieves can continuously enter Longyou from Guanlong Avenue, and the Han Dynasty will have no choice but to retreat to Qishan.
In this battle, not only were the 20,000 men and horses in Jieting and Longguan wiped out, but even Zhao Guang, who was far away in Anding, had no way to retreat.
If Shanggui and Linwei were defeated first, not only would the Cao thieves who besieged Jieting be annihilated, but Longyou would also be completely returned to the control of the Han. From then on, the Han would have a huge advantage over Guanzhong.
Those who win Guanzhong will win the world and revive the Han Dynasty. This is no lie.
However, the horses and men…
Liu Yin gritted his teeth, veins popped up on the back of his hands, and finally couldn't help but draw his sword again and slashed into the walled city. If this person were in front of him, he would have wanted to split him into two pieces!
“General, there is a street pavilion thirty miles ahead.”
The closer we get to the street pavilion, the more Cao Jun sentries running back and forth.
He couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. He came up to Long this time, defeated Lueyang, defeated Ma Su, and drove the Shu captives to the street pavilion like driving sheep and dolphins. It was really easy.
These Shu soldiers looked extremely weak. If the loss of Longyou was due to too few soldiers and horses, then how could such a key point as Longguan be lost?
How can the Shu captives be burned in such a dangerous situation? It's really unbelievable.
Pang Hui is the son of a hero like Pound. Everyone says he has the courage of his father, but he didn't expect it to be so useless. What a pity!
"Returning to the general, the street pavilion was heavily guarded. We wanted to get closer to observe, but we were driven out of the city by Shu captives. The defeated army wanted to enter the camp, but was shot by the guard in the camp. It seems that we were well prepared."
When Zhang He heard this, his expression became a little serious, "Is there such a thing?"
Judging from the confessions of the captured Shu captains and marquises, Jieting does not have many troops now. Judging from the previous two situations, as soon as the army arrives, the Jieting guard will leave the city and surrender. That is the most natural thing. matter.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually has a statue of a city guard?
With this thought in mind, he ordered the entire army to speed up their pace.
After arriving at the place, before it got dark, Zhang He took his troops and went to the outskirts of the Han army camp to watch in person.
After seeing the camp and its surroundings clearly, Zhang He took a deep breath and blurted out, "If the general of Lueyang can be half as capable as the general of Jieting, how can we be so relaxed?"
But I saw a lot of people on the camp, and the guards were well-organized.
On the outside of the village wall, there is a five-foot-high small barrier. There is a cold light between the small barrier and the wall. It is obvious that someone is standing behind it.
In front of the other side of the city, there are quite a few deer antlers standing.
In front of Juma Deer Antler, there is a trench...
In front of the trench, there was nothing except a pile of corpses. Within a few hundred steps, everything was clean.
There was no grass, no wood, not even a slightly larger stone.
The more Zhang He watched, the more horrified he became. He felt that he really had a toothache. Even the loose soil and stones that filled the trench had been shoveled away. This was an incredible thing.
“Who is this guard?”
I am afraid that half of my own manpower will be used up just to fill the trenches, push back the red deer antlers, and then destroy this small city.
Even so, we can only get to the bottom of the village wall before we can officially start attacking the camp.
Looking at the hedgehog-like camp in front of him, Zhang He gave up the idea of taking advantage of it on the spot.
The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, so he immediately sent someone to the front of the stronghold to shout: "May I ask which general is in the stronghold?"
A head popped up from the wall of the village and shouted back, "General Han Pi, Liu Yin of Shu County!"
Seeing this, Zhang He sent someone to pass the message.
"General Liu, now that the king's army has arrived, you can lead the weak troops to guard the street pavilion. I see that the camp is well laid out and I think you must be a rare general."
“Why is that fake Shu ignorant of people and makes you surrender to the position of general? I, the Emperor of Wei, are very thirsty for talents. If you are willing to join Wei, I will protect you and make you a marquis and a general!”
Liu Yin in the village replied very cheerfully, "Just wait!"
When Zhang He heard this, he felt happy and thought that he finally didn't have to attack the city.
After a while, I saw the small gate lowered, and a group of Han troops came out, dragging the corpses of the defeated soldiers away in front of Zhang He, which made his eyelids jump.
After the war, no one would make it difficult for the auxiliary soldiers to clean up the corpses, but what the street guard did was obviously intentional.
I saw Liu Yin saying again on the wall of the village, "I am guarding this street pavilion for the Han Dynasty. I would rather kill the defeated army, but am I afraid of killing the rebel army? If you have the ability, come and attack me!"
Zhang He's face stiffened.
