Although Chen Ren said that he wanted to start the siege camp to attack Hangu pass the next day, by the next day, the siege camp was unable to start the attack. The reason was very simple. It took time for the siege camp to assemble the vessels, at least one day.
On this day, Chen Ren stayed in his camp completely, and never came out for a day. His excuse was that his injury was not healed and he needed to rest. However, all the generals know that Chen Ren made this low-level mistake to himself. I'm sorry to come out to meet you.
After a whole day's beating and beating, until the morning of the third day, a series of archery towers, a set of stone throwing machines, countless ladders, and two rush cars are neatly placed in front of the camp. Chen Ren, who had been hiding for a day and a night, finally came out of his big tent. He patted Xu Sheng and Chen Wu on the shoulder with admiration and said, "today depends on your performance."
Speaking of these siege equipment, when they set up the siege camp, Xu Sheng and Chen Wu were very troubled. They were both generals who could only fight. How could they know how to attack a city. But at that time, Chen Ren was already hiding at home and enjoying his leisure. No matter how flattered Xu Sheng and Chen Wu, Chen Ren did not kill them at all.
When Zhao's two men opened the silk cloth, they had to pay attention to one of the two men who had designed it. Huang Yueying, Chen Ren's first wife, originally designed them. Huang Yueying's heart was not as hard as Chen Ren's. seeing that Xu Sheng and Chen Wu were really pitiful, she handed these designed instruments to them through Zhao Yun.
They were overjoyed when they saw the detailed design drawings. They quickly gathered all the craftsmen of the eastern Wu Dynasty and began to make these siege equipment according to the design drawings. According to the suggestion of Zhou Yu and others, these instruments are designed to be disassembled and convenient for shipment. This is the first time that the siege battalion has participated in a large-scale siege. Both Xu Sheng and Chen Wu were nervous. Chen Ren's clapping made them relaxed a lot.
With the Jiangdong new army barracks spread out the sound of the horn, Hangu pass city also began to stir up. After a while, Lu Bu arrived at the head of the city with the generals of the Bingzhou army and the Xiliang army. Looking from a distance, he saw the new Jiangdong army marching towards Hangu pass with huge siege equipment.
Yang Feng looked at the huge siege equipment and said to Lv Bu in a daze: "Wenhou! Don't let them attack like this! Although the walls of Hangu pass are high and thick, they are not iron walls. If they are so passive, they will be broken by the other party sooner or later. " It seems that in order to verify Yang Feng's words, he heard a few loud noises, and the dozen or so stone throwing machines began to throw stones at the city head of Hanguguan.
Huge stones in the air across an arc, and finally hit the city wall heavily, the people on the head of the city immediately felt the strong vibration of the wall under their feet. All the generals were pale. No one thought that these siege equipment had such great power. Moreover, it was only one kind. There were the archery tower as high as the city head, and the countless cloud ladders carried by the enemy. With these instruments, the advantage of the city wall would no longer exist.
"Hou Wen! The only way to keep Hangu pass is to lead troops to defeat the enemy's siege equipment immediately Gao Shun also gave advice to Lv Bu.
Even his senior general said so. Lu Bu was moved. Just as he was about to issue an order to attack, fan Hou, who had been standing at the head of the city and looking at Jiang Dong army, suddenly said to Lv Bu, "Wen Hou! Can't attack! Look! The other side has sent all the troops to defend it! "
On hearing this, Lu Bu and others all quickly stepped to the edge of the city and looked at the slowly moving Jiangdong army. Sure enough, the armies that defeated Lv Bu's army two days ago all appeared. After a whole day's rest, although the number of troops of the other side was much smaller than that of two days ago, they had recovered their spirits and their morale had risen to the peak. At the front of the army, Chen Ren led a group of generals, who were heading for Hangu pass.
Seeing this scene, Hou Cheng, who came back from his injury yesterday, turned pale with fear and said to Lv Bu, "Wen Hou! Can't fight! With the current morale of the army, I'm afraid that if we go out, we will only die! "
Lv Bu also began to hesitate. If Hou Cheng had said so two days ago, Lv Bu tie would have dragged him down and killed him in anger, and then he would take the army to attack. However, after the defeat two days ago, Lu Bu had no confidence to defeat Chen Ren and the Jiangdong army led by Chen Ren. Lu Bu, who lost his confidence, had no courage as the God of war in Bingzhou.
Song Xian, one of the eight great generals, came forward and said, "Wen Hou! Only now, we have to abandon the Hangu pass and retreat into the pass! "
"Bold!" Hearing Song Xian's words, Yang Feng looked at Song Xian with a murderous look on his face. He pulled out his sword and looked at Song Xian fiercely. He said, "you dare to disturb the morale of the army. What should you do?"
Song Xian was not afraid of Yang Feng. Bingzhou army and Xiliang army were full of contradictions. Yang Feng was just a young general of Xiliang army, and there was no backstage in Xiliang army. Song Xian turned his mouth and looked at Yang Feng with disdain: "what I said is totally out of consideration for Wen Hou! In the two-day battle, all the officers and men have completely lost their fighting spirit. If they go out of the pass to fight with Jiangdong army, they will surely lose! When all the troops are gone, what kind of Garrison should we return? ""Damn it!" Song Xian's words were full of contempt for Yang Feng, so Yang Feng couldn't help but get angry. He held up his sword and was about to cut it against Song Xian. Song Xian was not afraid at all. He pulled out his sword and held Yang Feng's sword. At the side of Song Xian, all the remaining five eight generals pulled out their swords and pointed to Yang Feng. Xu Huang, who was behind Yang Feng, immediately raised his axe and faced the generals. Fan Hou on one side was at a loss. He didn't understand why he said it well. Suddenly, he saw each other.
Gao Shun on the other side showed a puzzled expression on his face. Although Gao Shun supported Yang Feng's opinion and went out of the pass to destroy the siege equipment, this was the only way to keep Hangu pass. But now Yang Feng's sword is referring to his colleagues. From a reasonable point of view, Gao Shun should be on the side of Song Xian.
Looking at both sides of the opposition, Gao Shun bit his teeth and pulled out his broadsword. However, he is standing behind Song Xian. Yu Qing Yu Li, he can't stand by Yang Feng now. Although he was a little disappointed, Yang Feng did not flinch. He yelled at the generals of Bingzhou: "this Hangu pass was entrusted to us by the prime minister to defend. How can we send it out so easily! If you do this, you will cooperate with the enemy! The prime minister will not let you go! "
Song Xian sneered and said, "cooperate with the enemy? Knowing that it's a dead end to go out to meet the enemy, we still have to insist on sending out the army to death. I'm afraid it's not us, but you who are cooperating with the enemy. "
It has to be said that Song Xian's ability to beat a rake is really high. Yang Feng was told by him that his mouth was wide open, and there was no way to explain it. Yang Feng did know that there was only a dead end for the troops who left the pass. However, Yang Feng was not willing to fail and insisted on staying here. Speaking of it, Yang Feng's method is indeed unwise.
"All right Lu Bu frowned and drank violently. He said to both sides of the opposition: "don't you withdraw the weapon for me! In the face of a great enemy, our own people are fighting like this! "
Lv Bu was very prestigious both in the Bingzhou army and in the Xiliang army. Now Lv Bu is so angry that people on both sides dare not listen to Lv Bu and put away their weapons one after another, but both sides still glare at each other.
Lu Bu took a gloomy look at the Jiangdong army outside the pass, turned his head to Gao Shun and said, "pass on my order! All troops, retreat With the last two words, Lu Bu's eyes were filled with reluctance and helplessness. Lu Bu had too many things to consider. Now, there are less than 80000 soldiers left in the Bingzhou army, which is already the whole family of Lv Bu. The Xiliang army is different. Even if the 100000 Xiliang army sent by Dong min to Lv Bu is gone, Dong min still has the Xiliang army stationed in Bingzhou and Liangzhou. Without the army, Lu Bu was determined to be a general under Dong min's account. Therefore, it is impossible for Lv Bu to put all the Bingzhou troops together here. As long as Lv Bu still has soldiers in his hand, even if he escapes to Chang'an, Dong min does not dare to take him for questioning.
"Hou Wen! No way Yang Feng's face changed greatly when he heard Lv Bu's general's order. He did not care to stare at each other with Song Xian and others, and hastened to persuade him. However, Lu Bu directly stopped Yang Feng from speaking and said, "I have decided! Don't say much! Order the city to be covered with flags, and the army will withdraw immediately. The Jiangdong army will not be informed of our retreat! "
Now that Lv Bu had made up his mind, Gao Shun, who had always been loyal to Lv Bu, did not speak much. Although he was unwilling in his heart, Gao Shun's temperament doomed him not to dissuade Lv Bu. Even if Lv Bu chose the wrong way, he would follow Lv Bu to the road of death. Gao Shun should hold his fist and go to fulfill Lv Bu's general orders without saying anything.
Seeing that Gao Shun, who supported him, also left, Yang Feng knew that it was useless to say anything. He could not help but feel disappointed and said to Lv Bu, "Wen Hou! When Chang'an arrives, he will tell the prime minister completely what happened today. "
After listening to Yang Feng's words, Lu Bu's eyes suddenly flashed with cold light, and he was closely staring at Yang Feng. The six eight strong generals around him were all holding their swords and staring at Yang Feng. At the command of Lv Bu, he would chop Yang Feng into meat.
However, Yang Feng could not help but feel a void in his heart when he was so glared at by Lu Bu. He wanted to slap himself in the face. He thought that he was still too young to be rational for a moment. He said such a angry remark. It's too late to regret now.
