Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty: Simon Falls
Cui Ju sent 18 envoys to summon Shen DeTuek Yuan and Cui Kewen to lead troops back to the rescue. The Jingxiang area and thousands of miles west of Chenzhou were the foundation of Cui Ju. Once it was taken down by the South China Navy, the food and grass of the army ahead would be cut off, and then they would be out of control.
Shen De, who received the order to withdraw the troops, sighed, "I didn't expect them to come so quickly!"
Cui Keyuan also shook his head, "I never expected that the South China Sea Army had made peace with the Wei army! Good means, good means!"
But Cui Keyuan was unwilling to give up. After all, the smell of human flesh being cooked could already be smelled in Luoyang City. He and Shen De both concluded that Luoyang would not last for a few days.
So all the envoys were put under house arrest. Cui Keyuan wanted to force him to go to Luoyang and then return to Xiangyang. He wanted to return to the court with a victorious army.
Cui Kewen received the order to withdraw the troops, but it was already in a difficult situation. The army was separated by the Wei army. If he led his troops to retreat, Yu Yaoshan and the others would really be trapped by Wang Tiezhu to death.
It would be perfect for Yu Yaoshan to describe it as dangerous and burying eggs at this time. The flooding of Wei army was full of anticipation, but there was no drop of rain. Tang Sixin also taught Wei army to shout at the foot of the mountain, "Wait for another ten days and there will be no rain. You have been deceived!"
"I dare to lead troops to fight if I don't understand the weather. Haha, wait until I die of thirst!"
Yu Yaoshan heard that it was smoke from seven orifices, but he had no choice but to lead people to rush to kill, and he would definitely be blocked by Wang Tiezhu. He was afraid of Wang Tiezhu when he was waiting for reinforcements.
Yu Ping suggested that four groups of people break through after nightfall. No matter how powerful Wang Tiezhu is, he can only kill all the generals. Dead horses can only be treated as live horses. Yu Yaoshan divided 10,000 people into four teams and chose to break through when the ugly ones.
When the four teams rushed down the mountain, they found that there were ditches crisscrossing more than one foot deep and two feet wide. The ditches were not deep, but the horses were inconvenient to travel and people could not continue to run.
At this time, countless torches were lit on the opposite side, and the Wei army's crossbow had already been called over, and Yu Yaoshan's men were shot and fell to the ground.
After the first round of arrows of the Wei army were released, Yu Yaoshan waved his axe and said, "If you don't rush over, you won't be able to go back! You have to step on your own body to me!"
There were many people in Yu Yao Mountain. After he was inspired, he rushed towards the direction of the camp where Huang Chongdao was located.
Wang Tiezhu had already determined the location of Yu Yao Mountain under the guidance of Tang Sixin, and rushed towards Yu Yao Mountain with two hammers.
It was too late for Yu Yaoshan to run away at this time, so he had to face Wang Tiezhu head-on and have a gamble.
The Cui army soldier who was frightened when he saw Wang Tiezhu's double hammers. When he saw the commander Yu Yaoshan rushing up with his two axes, he immediately became energetic and rushed over in a swarm.
The torch flashed around the bonfire, with many figures, Wang Tiezhu dancing around, and in a moment all the personal soldiers of Yu Yaoshan were overturned.
Yu Yaoshan roared and swung the axe, but was blocked by Wang Tiezhu's left hammer. Yu Yaoshan knew something was wrong and quickly bent down. Wang Tiezhu's right hammer rushed over from his head, and a strong wind blew out Yu Yaoshan's cold sweat.
Yu Yaoshan pushed hard with both hands, Wang Tiezhu used his left hand, and Yu Yaoshan pulled back the axe and was about to run.
Wang Tiezhu threw a copper hammer with his right hand and knocked down the axe on Yu Yaoshan's left hand and laughed, "You stay! I haven't met anyone who can last two rounds under my hands for a long time! I think you are also a talented person, why don't you stay and hang out with me!"
Yu Yaoshan didn't dare to answer, so he clamped the horse's back and activated it with force, but he still wanted to escape.
Wang Tiezhu shouted "Drop off the horse!" The copper hammer in his left hand responded and hit the right leg of the war horse under Yu Yaoshan's crotch.
The war horse neighed with a shrill long and slashed through the entire night sky, and Yu Yaoshan also fell down, and he turned over and raised it.
With the remaining axe, he stood up.
"General Yu, go quickly!" A cavalry next to him grabbed Yu Yaoshan, jumped off his horse and rushed towards Wang Tiezhu with a spear.
Yu Yao Mountain got on the horse and ran away. Wang Tiezhu grabbed the gun from behind and raised it directly to rescue the cavalryman from Yu Yao Mountain, throwing the cavalry into the air.
Wang Tiezhu continued to chase Yu Yaoshan with a spear. From time to time, he rushed up to rescue Yu Yaoshan, but Wang Tiezhu was all over the ground.
Seeing that he was about to catch up with Yu Yaoshan, Wang Tiezhu fell to the ground by arrows. Wang Tiezhu pointed his spear to the ground and jumped off the horse to prepare to find another war horse to continue chasing.
Yu Yaoshan didn't care what happened later, but just waved his whip and urged the war horse. After rushing two miles, he actually saw his original camp. Huang Chongdao and Li Yuan had already brought the troops out on the camp.
Wang Tiezhu looked around and found that he had chased him for dozens of miles. He was either wounded soldiers or dead bodies around him, but he was all Yu Yaoshan's subordinates. He could no longer catch up with Yu Yaoshan, so Wang Tiezhu had to pick up a long sword and take a spear and walk back.
Huang Chongdao took Yu Yaoshan back and beat his chest and stamped his feet. "I regret not being unreasonable and did not give any advice! I have lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, what are the faces to go back to see Mr. Cui!"
Yu Yaoshan was depressed, "Military Huang doesn't have to blame himself. This defeat was my desire to win. I misbelieve the rumors and went back to see Mr. Cui. I should take the blame and have nothing to do with the military advisor!"
Huang Chongdao took out seven military orders from his arms, "The situation in the southeast has suddenly changed. The second is whether to accept the crime. Now the imperial court is employed, so withdraw the troops as soon as possible!"
When Yu Yaoshan heard about the withdrawal of his troops, he became energetic and continued to tangle with Wang Tiezhu here, for fear that the remaining troops in his hands would be lost here.
Wang Tiezhu walked four miles back, and the sound of horse hooves was heard. Wang Tiezhu put away his long sword and spear and hid behind a big tree.
The one who ran over was Yu Ping who broke through, followed by more than 2,000 soldiers and horses. Most of them only had a Park knife in their hands, and some even lost their weapons.
Wang Tiezhu wanted to wait for the more than 2,000 people to run over before leaving, but was discovered by Yu Ping, who was rushing to the front.
More than two thousand people fought one, and he was killed. Yu Ping thought and shouted, "The enemy general is under the soapcorn tree, surround him, don't let him run away, kill him, and we will get a lot of rewards after we go back!"
Cui Jun was already quite clear in rewards and punishments. When he heard that there was a heavy reward, he rushed forward with a knife.
Seeing that Wang Tiezhu could not hide it anymore, he waved his knife and spear out, slashing with one hand and sweeping with the gun.
After a while, nearly a hundred people were knocked over by Yu Ping's subordinates. Wang Tiezhu used a knife instead of using a blade, but with a thick back of a knife. One knife often broke the other's bones.
In the melee battle, Wang Tiezhu could not be injured at all. Yu Ping threw out the spear in his hand, and the other soldiers also threw out the swords and guns in his hand. Wang Tiezhu tweaked the spear and jumped onto the branches of the soapcorn tree.
Before everyone could come to their senses, Wang Tiezhu threw a long sword from the tree and hit Yu Ping.
Yu Ping screamed and fell off his horse, hurried to rescue him, Wang Tiezhu jumped out of the tree, grabbed the horse, and fled eastward.
When Yu Ping was carried back to the camp, he was already dying. All the soldiers cried. There were too many people who died under Wang Tiezhu.
This place was busy saving people and withdrawing troops. Tang Sixin from the Wei army had not seen Wang Tiezhu for a long time, and personally led the people westward to search for Wang Tiezhu.
After a while, when you met Wang Tiezhu, Tang Sixin cursed, "Idiot! As the commander of the first army, you actually left your army with greedy for merits and advance recklessly! If you die, our Great Wei will be over!"
Wang Tiezhu smiles
The local responded, "Don't worry, military advisor, I just killed an enemy general with another knife, but it's a pity that their chief general ran away! Next time I will bring more brothers out to chase them! Military advisor, let's calm down!"
Tang Sixin shook his head, "Go back to the camp! It's going to rain! When the rain comes, we can defeat the enemy and return to Luoyang!"
The two of them did not know that the enemy who intercepted them would retreat, so they continued to go to the high ground to stand firmly for five days after returning to the camp.
It really rained heavily in the past five days, and a mountain torrent broke out. The battlefield with Cui Jun became a country. Tang Sixin couldn't help but sigh, "Man can be bullied, but heaven can't be bullied!"
When the flood receded, the Wei army marched through the mud and walked to the vicinity of Cui Jun's camp and found that Cui Jun had long disappeared.
Cui Jun’s camp was indeed flooded, and the mud rushed to the earthen stove where he cooked. Wang Tiezhu was overjoyed, "The military advisor will indeed call the wind and rain. Now the enemy has all fed the fish!"
Tang Sixin waved his hand, "No, no, no, the enemy will have run away long ago! If he was drowned, there would not be even a body in this camp! By the way, I ordered all the battalions to not touch any things in this camp that are flooded! In order to avoid getting infected with evil things and getting sick!"
Someone in the Wei army began to pick up the utensils in the camp. Tang Sixin hurriedly stopped "When the water comes, all the dirty things pass here. After the water fades, insects, snakes and other poisons come again. You can throw away the things you picked up! Anyone who picks up has to boil water, wash their hands and take a bath!"
Wang Tiezhu felt that Tang Sixin was too cautious. "Military Tang is here to do his job again! Isn't it enough to wash the things you picked up by brothers?"
Tang Sixin scolded very seriously, "Marson Wang, this is a major event that concerns the life and death of the entire army. If you get infected with plague, one person will get sick. At that time, it will be useless if you are born with divine power! Liang's army suffered a loss decades ago!"
Wang Tiezhu was still quite afraid of this thin old man. Before becoming the military advisor of the Wei army, the old man was a wandering doctor. Because he cured Wang Tiezhu of dysentery and saved Wang Tiezhu's subordinates, he was relied on him as his confidant.
Yu Yaoshan and his party escaped from death and took the remnants to Wuchang. Cui Ju was still urging Shen De and Cui Keyuan to urge him. Shen De urged Cui Keyuan to obey the order first, but Cui Keyuan had no choice but to withdraw his troops and prepare to retreat south.
At this critical moment, the west gate of Luoyang City was broken. It was not Shen De's army that broke through the west gate, but Tuyuhun's army.
The breakthrough of Ximen was an accident because Tuyuhun's army did not enter through the main gate, but crawled into a dog hole.
This dog hole is in an abandoned house next to the west gate. The wild dogs outside the city smelled the smell of meat in the city and digged the soil desperately from a badger cave outside the city.
No one paid attention to the actions of the beasts when both sides were fighting, but Murong Yuanzhong suddenly wanted to eat dog meat. In order to please him, several guards came to hunt wild dogs, so they found this dog hole on the edge of the city.
When hundreds of soldiers from Tuyuhun entered the city from the dog cave, the Wei army was replacing defenses at the Ximen guarding the city. This time, they could not withstand Tuyuhun's attack and Ximen fell.
Zhao Wei, who learned that Ximen was lost, personally led people to block the gap, but unfortunately, Zhao Wei died directly in battle and the defeated soldiers returned Zhu Yaoshi. Zhu Yaoshi took three pills in a row and waved his sword to lead people to Ximen.
At this time, Song Huafu knelt down and stopped Zhu Yaoshi, "Your Majesty, you can't take risks. If you make any mistakes, it will be all over! There are still generals and soldiers in this city!"
Zhu Yaoshi shouted, "Zhao Wei is dead! Where can I have generals? Even if I die in battle, I will not wait here to be insulted by the enemy!"
"Your Majesty, General Lingyun and her 300 guards are still in Liuyun Pavilion! Just wait for Your Majesty's edict!"
