Chapter 704 The situation is worrying
Seeing this, the Goguryeo people were shocked. The crossbowmen raised their crossbows and pointed them at Taishi Ci, while Tie Yongnan stood up in a mess with the support of his subordinates. Tie Yongnan pushed away the subordinates who were supporting him, pointed at Taishi Ci and shouted hysterically: "Taishi Ci, you are looking for death!"
Taishi Ci smiled coldly, slowly pulled out a pair of iron maces from her waist, and said sarcastically: "The Goguli people are all cowards! Take the arrows! No one dares to fight me alone!" The Goguli people who could understand Chinese were immediately angry when they heard this and scolded them. Even two Goguli strong generals rushed out and rushed directly to Taishi Ci. Taishi Ci immediately stood still, watching the two enemy generals rushing up!
In a blink of an eye, two enemy generals rushed to the front of them and howled in unison. One waved a long sword, the other waved a spear, and one left and one right attacked Taishici! Taishici suddenly raised a pair of iron maces, and the two loud noises were like a sound. Taishici held the weapons that the two attacked by the opponent at the same time.
Two Gogurye's mighty generals rushed over Taishi Ci, then turned their horses and rushed towards Taishi Ci again. This time, the Gogurye's mighty general who held a spear on the left was faster. When they rushed to Taishi Ci first, they shouted and thrust the gun straight into Taishi Ci's chest! Taishi Ci opened his eyes, quickly raised the iron mace in his left hand, and instantly swung the spear that the other party stabbed. At the same time, he pulled the iron mace with his right hand and swept across! Before everyone could react, he could only hear a loud bang, and the head of the Gogurye's wits exploded and his brains flew around!
Another Goguryeo general was shocked and rushed to Taishi Ci, and hurriedly slashed at Taishi Ci. Taishi Ci came first, and the iron mace in his hand stabbed the Goguryeo general's chest like lightning. He heard a scream. The Goguryeo general suddenly flipped back and fell off his horse, and his head made a terrifying sound! Then he saw him lying on the ground, and his head was folded into a terrifying angle, and he didn't move at all!
The officers and soldiers of Gogurye were frightened and looked at the man who killed two of them in one fell swoop with fear but remained calm. Tie Yongnan was frightened and angry, and wanted to send someone to kill Taishi Ci. However, he knew very well that no one in the entire Goguryee army, including himself, could fight him. Send a general to fight one by one, but it would only increase the losses in vain! At this point, Tie Yongnan had a fierce thought in his heart, and he felt that although no one could fight you, he would definitely take your life today! Tie Yongnan raised his right hand and shouted, "Come on the crossbow!" The crossbowmen raised their bows and crossbows and aimed them at Taishi Ci! Seeing this scene, Tai Shi Ci sighed secretly. He was a little unwilling to accept that he had died in the hands of a lowly barbarian like the Goguryee.
"Huh? It's bad! It's a big fire!" Someone suddenly shouted. At this time, the officers and soldiers of Goguryeo suddenly realized that there was already a turbulent scene of flames in the east. Before everyone noticed it, all the streets and alleys in the east were burning! That's what happened?! The officers and soldiers of Goguryeo were in agitation, especially those officers and soldiers on the east, who were afraid of being swept in by the rapidly spreading flames, so they rushed towards the west.
Seeing that the enemy was in chaos, Taishici immediately realized that the opportunity had come, and shouted loudly to urge the war horses to rush straight to the east into the enemy's bush! The enemy suddenly saw Taishici rushing in, and was caught off guard and they were all in a hurry! Many crossbowmen subconsciously shot arrows, but did not shoot Taishici, but shot many of their own people down. The scene was in chaos! Taishici came out of the Goguli army in one fell swoop and ran into the streets and alleys that were full of fire! The war horses were neighing continuously, and Taishici only felt that their eyebrows and robe were about to burn!
Finally, Taishici passed through the rolling streets of flames and couldn't help but hold the war horses. At this time, there were waves of roars and howlings of Gogurye people from behind, but no one dared to cross the fire barrier and chase after them.
Taishici was about to ride a horse out of the city. Suddenly dozens or hundreds of people ran up ahead. Taishici thought it was the enemy, so he immediately stepped on an iron mace to prepare for battle. At this moment, a surprise shout came from the front: "General, you have finally broken through the siege! That's great!" Taishici looked closely and saw that all the Han people came, either yamen runners or the people. He immediately felt moved and asked, "Did you put this fire?" The middle-aged man in the lead nodded and said ashamed: "Xiaguan and others are limited in strength, and they think they can't impulse the enemy's team, so they had to set this fire to rescue the general! Fortunately, it was successful!"
Taishici looked grateful and said, "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go!" Then he led these people and yamen run out of the east gate and headed straight to the mountains to the east.
The fire quickly spread in the city, and the Goguryeo people could not stand, so they had to hurriedly withdraw from the city from the west gate. Tie Yongnan sat on the horse's back, looking at the burning fire in front of him, feeling very upset, and felt anger in his chest and unable to vent. He turned his head and scolded Defang, the military advisor next to him, and said, "What a bullshit plan you have come up with! It has caused our army to suffer a lot of losses, but nothing has been gained!" Defang was very uneasy and timid.
Tie Yongnan glanced at the city in front of him, and felt that instead of wasting time here, it was better to concentrate his strength to attack Donglai. His troops had an absolute advantage and attacked Donglai wholeheartedly, without worrying about not breaking Donglai, so don't play these useless conspiracies and tricks anymore! As soon as he thought of this, he immediately ordered the army to return to Donglai.
The sight turned to Linji. The army of the two sides had been confronting each other for a while. Although the war had never started, the atmosphere was very solemn. The air in this world seemed to have solidified.
That night, Cao Pi was discussing the current situation with Sima Yi. At this moment, Xiahou Dun suddenly ran in and said, "Prime Minister, the scout just came to report that Linji's enemy troops were quietly crossing the river east!" Cao Pi's expression moved, and immediately looked at Sima Yi and said excitedly: "They finally can't calm down! Maybe the Goguli people have already captured Donglai!" Sima Yi said, "Prime Minister, we can act!" Cao Pi nodded, and immediately sent an order. The three armies gathered and prepared to attack.
The Cao army camp, which had been silent for many days, suddenly became noisy and busy. The commands were made, and the troops quickly gathered with different banners. In the middle of the night that day, the army was ready for a full-scale attack. Cao Pi was wearing a majestic armor and came to the army and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, the opportunity to defeat the army in one fell swoop has finally come! The enemy is already fleeing eastward, and I will lead you to purge them in one fell swoop!" The morale of the Cao army officers and soldiers was greatly boosted and shouted, and the originally quiet night seemed to have been overturned!
"Strike!" With Cao Pi's order, hundreds of thousands of Cao troops rushed out to Linji. The army rushed to the city of Linji and then launched a fierce attack. To all Cao's army expected that they did not face any resistance. The siege troops quickly climbed onto the city and opened the city gate. Sima Yi said to Cao Pi: "The enemy's army is cunning, you must be careful! General Pang De should lead the vanguard into the city first, and the troops that attacked the city first should guard the city gate to prevent accidents!" Cao Pi immediately sent an order. Pang De led 30,000 cavalry under his command and rushed in.
Cao Pi was waiting anxiously outside the city. Soon after, the messenger came to report: "Report to the Prime Minister, General Pang De has successfully occupied the key points in the city and has not encountered any enemy troops!" Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi. Sima Yi thought, "It seems that the enemy has withdrawn long ago!" Then he asked the messenger who came to report the news: "How about the floating bridge in the city?" Linji, unlike other cities, there is no wall on one side of the river, but there is a floating bridge connecting the two sides of the Jishui River. The messenger clasped his fists and said: "The floating bridge is still there, General Pang De has sent people to guard both sides of the floating bridge!"
Cao Pi couldn't help but feel happy, but then he showed a confused expression and said, "Since the enemy has retreated, why don't he destroy the floating bridge? Is there any fraud in it?"
Sima Yi said: "The Prime Minister is right. But it is also possible that our army's actions quickly disrupted the enemy's plan so that they did not have time to destroy the floating bridge." Cao Pi was a little confused and asked: "Then should we do this? Should we pursue or not?" Sima Yi thought: "The enemy's hurried back east, and there must be changes in Donglai. At this time, our army should take advantage of the situation to pursue. Even if we cannot wipe out them completely, we must completely defeat them. However, Lu Bu's army has always been cunning,
Jia Xu was even more sinister and treacherous, but he had to prevent them from taking the opportunity to set up an ambush!" He paused and clasped his fists at Cao Pi and said, "Prime Minister. As the saying goes, you must not lose the opportunity and never come again. Now the fighter jets must be chased! But you must also beware of the traps that the enemy may set! My subordinates thought that the army could be divided into two parts and divided into two north and south routes to march east at the same time! If there is really an accident, the two armies echo each other from afar, and the enemy's trap may be lost!"
Cao Pi nodded and immediately issued an order, ordering Pang De to lead 30,000 vanguards to cross the Jishui River first, and at the same time, he ordered other troops to follow him across the Jishui River.
When the Cao army received the order, they immediately followed the order. First, Pang De led his 30,000 elite troops across the Ji River from the floating bridge, and went forward five miles from the east bank, and lined up for alert based on the favorable terrain. Then the main forces of the Cao army crossed the Ji River one after another in order. The next morning, all the Cao army troops crossed the Ji River.
Then the Cao army was divided into two units. Cao Pi himself led the southern army to march on the southern line into Linzi, while the general Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan led the northern army to march on the northern line into Linzi. The two armies meandered forward like two blue dragons on the land of Qingzhou, with great momentum.
