Chapter 1,298: Changyi City Falls

Huangfu Chaobo's wait did not last long, that is, the day after the decision was made, when Huangfu Chaobo and Guo Jia were having lunch, they saw Shi A rushing in from outside, and soon he He ran to Huangfu Chaobo, saluted, and then said eagerly: "Your Majesty, General Xu Rong is reporting urgently!" ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

Huangfu Chaobo was startled and asked quickly: "Speak!"

"Early this morning, General Xu Rong received an urgent request for help from someone sent from Changyi City. General Meng Gang reported that the Qi army captured Changyi City early this morning. Although the army resisted desperately, it could not withstand the fierce force of the Qi army. Attack, and finally having no choice, General Meng Gang led his troops to escort Shanyang Prefect and his party to retreat to Jiyin, and at the same time sent an urgent message to General Xu Rong, asking him to send someone to respond. "

"Pap..."

"There are 25,000 troops in Changyi City. It has only been five or six days since the war started. The Qi army can break through the city so quickly. What do Meng Gang and Pangshan people do for food?" Huangfu Chaobo asked himself. His chopsticks fell to the ground without even noticing, he stood up and said angrily;

Shi Anana said: "According to the news sent back by General Meng, it should be that the Qi army should cooperate with the outside to open the city gate, and then..."

"Wow..."

The dining table in front of Huangfu Chaobo was overturned to the ground in his rage. "Did he take Gu's order to heart? After Handan City was destroyed, Gu repeatedly emphasized the need to defend strictly to prevent the Qi army from cooperating with others to steal the city. As a result, another big city was lost in less than two days. This is The county town, no, it was the original state town of Yanzhou, and it was lost just like that. "

"Your Majesty, please calm down. This is not the time to investigate the matter of the lost city." At this point, Guo Jia stood up and asked Shi A: "Has General Xu Rong sent someone to meet General Meng's troops now?"

"Back to Mr. Guo, after General Xu received the news from General Meng for help, he ordered Mu Shun and General Sun Guan to defend the city. He personally led 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry to Changyi to join General Meng's troops." Shi A replied;

"In other words, there are only 5,000 soldiers and 10,000 defenders in Dingtao City now?"

"good!"

"Your Majesty, the current plan is that General Xu Rong will lead the army to meet General Meng and his party. The defense in Dingtao City is somewhat weak, so please ask the King to lead the army to move to Dingtao immediately to strengthen its defense."

Huangfu Chaobo heard this and said with some hesitation: "It's just from Hebei..."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Judging from the time, General Hua Xiong's troops should have entered Hanoi. At the latest, the day after tomorrow, they will be able to enter Wei County to join General Zhao Yun. Hongnong's five thousand cavalry also entered yesterday. In Yecheng, I believe that General Zhao Yun and Zijing are already preparing to attack the Wei army. "

"Okay, pass the order. The army will set off in an hour and arrive at Dingtao City after dark today." Huangfu Chaobo also knew that the matter was urgent and quickly ordered;

After handing over Chen Liu's defense to Min Chun and Chen Jing, Huangfu Chaobo led 20,000 guardsmen toward Dingtao City, two hundred miles away.

The horses equipped by the Guards were all good horses that could travel more than two hundred miles a day. The army marched all the way and finally arrived outside Dingtao City after dark. At this time, the gates of Dingtao City were already closed. After Xu Rong led troops to the rescue this morning, Mu Shun and Sun Guan followed Xu Rong's arrangements, closed the city gates, boarded the city with troops, and put themselves on emergency alert.

Twenty thousand cavalry came from the west, making an ear-shattering sound. The huge fire dragon stopped two miles away from the city wall. The defenders on the top of the city were also nervous when they saw this situation. As early as the cavalry was a few miles away from Dingtao when outside,

The defenders at the top of the city had already discovered it. The general who defended the city ordered the army to stand ready, and at the same time sent people to report to the deputy general Mu Shun in the city.

Seeing the fire dragon outside the city stop, the soldiers at the top of the city calmed down a little. Soon several torches came out, and a few soldiers escorted a general who approached two hundred steps outside the city wall. After stopping, the general shouted loudly: "Who is on duty in the city? I am General Wuwei." , Huating Hou Dianwei, the guard king has come to Dingtao, please inform Prefect Wang Xiu and General Mu Shun to open the city to welcome him!"

"Wow..."

There was an uproar at the top of the city. If anyone in the Tang army had the most prestige, it was none other than General Wuwei Dian Wei. It could be said that he was the number one in the Tang army, and his military force was unrivaled. When the soldiers at the head of the city heard that Dian Wei was here, they all stretched their necks and looked down the city. starter

The guard general of Xicheng was a commanding officer. Hearing this, he quickly raised his head and said: "The last general is Chen Ran, the leading commanding officer of Dingtao City. The sky is too dark. General, please come closer and wait for the last general to confirm carefully." !”

Dian Wei was not afraid and asked the soldiers around him to stop where they were. He took a torch himself, held the torch in one hand and his halberd in the other, and walked more than a hundred steps toward the city wall until he entered. When he reached the bow and arrow coverage of the city, he stopped, put the torch in front of him, and said towards the city: "Do you see clearly? It's a certain family!"

Chen Ran looked down and saw that Dian Wei was indeed there, and quickly replied: "General Dian, please wait a moment. The last general has sent people to ask for General Mu and Prefect Wang. They should arrive soon. Please wait a moment, General." "

Dian Wei didn't rush him and stood there motionless, but his eyes were observing the city top to see if there was any unusual movement. Although there was news at noon that Tao City was not lost, there is still a possibility that something strange happened in the afternoon and the city was lost inexplicably. Therefore, before confirmation, Dian Wei would rather put himself in danger. , and cannot let his king suffer the slightest harm.

A quarter of an hour later, Dianwei heard the sound of horse hoofbeats in the city. Not long after, he saw a group of people coming up the city. The leader was Wang Xiu, the prefect of Jiyin. Next to him was Mu, the deputy general of Qianniu Army. Shunhe Jiyin Duwei Sun Guan.

After a few people went up to the city, Wang Xiu looked down the city and saw that it was indeed Dian Wei himself. He quickly said: "Marquis Huating, you are polite. I, Wang Xiu, the prefect of Jiyin, may I ask where the king is now?"

Dian Wei bowed his hands in salute to the large group of soldiers and horses behind him and said, "Master Wang, the king is right behind me. Please open the city gate as soon as possible to welcome the king!"

Seeing this, Mu Shun quickly ordered: "Quickly, open the city gate and welcome the king into the city!"

Wang Xiu and others quickly left the city and walked towards the city gate. They had to go outside the city to meet Huangfu Chaobo. Dian Wei was the commander of Huangfu Chaobo's guards and the king's absolute confidant. Dian Wei appeared. Being here means that the king has indeed arrived, and they all know that before Xu Rong left the city, he had sent someone to deliver a memorial to the king who was already in Chenliu. Calculated by time, the Guards should It just so happened that we arrived at this moment.
