Chapter 413: The Beginning of the War (6)

Yuan Chang's eyes kept scanning the mighty general in front of him, and after looking at it for a long time, he asked curiously: "This general, I don't know what is the so-called matter of visiting late at night?"

"Yuan Taishou, little Duan Tian, I have come to meet each other!"

Duan Tian knelt down on one knee towards Yuan Chang straight, and then said sincerely.

"General Duan, please get up, I don't know why General Duan wants to take refuge in Yu?" Yuan Chang showed a look of surprise on his face, and then took two steps forward to pull Duan Tian up from the ground, and asked puzzledly.

Duan Tian's face showed anger, as if he had been wronged by some great grievance.

"During the day, Yuan Taishou's fierce generals severely frustrated the prestige of the thief, and after the single Jing went back, he was ashamed in his heart, but he couldn't help Yuan Taishou and sprinkled this evil spirit on our soldiers. Xiao's heart was dissatisfied with the evil thief's approach, so he specially contacted many soldiers in the army to serve Yuan Taishou together. Yuan Taishou is strong and strong, but he is the long-awaited master in his heart, and he hopes that Yuan Taishou will not be disgusted!"

"General Duan came to vote, it's really a blessing for our army!"

When Yuan Chang heard this, the smile on his face became even bigger, holding Duan Tian's hand and "touching" it non-stop, Guo Jia and others on the side saw this, and their hearts were cold, Yuan Chang's acting was too fake.

"Thank you Yuan Taishou for taking in the little one!"

Duan Tian looked excited, knelt down again, and then said in a condensed voice: "Yuan Taishou, before the little one came out, he had already discussed with the brothers who were going to take refuge in Yuan Taishou, tonight, at the right time, take the fire as the number! The little one lit a fire outside the city three times, and the city knew that we were ready, so he would secretly open the city gate." Then take the opportunity to capture Rongcheng, Yuan Taishou, I don't know what you think?"

"Brilliant plan. What a brilliant idea!"

Yuan Chang stroked his palms and laughed, patted Duan Tian's shoulder, then looked around at Guo Jia and the others, and said loudly: "I have General Duan, why don't you worry about taking the land of Youzhou?

Brother Duan joined our army. What a blessing for our army!"

"Celebrate, don't get drunk and don't return!"

The night is sultry, and the moon is dusty. The darkness of the night seemed to tell that tonight would be another night full of killing. When the time was approaching, Yuan Chang led five thousand soldiers selected from the army, under the leadership of Duan Tian. Approaching Rongcheng. When it is close to Rongcheng 100 meters. Duan Tian lit the torch in his hand, and then covered it, and after repeating this three times, Rong Chengnei also responded. The lights flickered three times, and it was clear that the inner city should have been prepared.

"Yuan Taishou, the brothers in the city are ready to take Rongcheng. Tonight!"

Duan Tian suppressed the excitement in his heart and said excitedly to Yuan Chang beside him. It's just that. Under the shroud of night, Duan Tian's excitement seemed to have something different.

"Good!"

Yuan Chang snorted and appreciated: "General Duan has done a very good job in this matter, if you take Rongcheng, you should take the first credit, and after you take Rongcheng, I will reward you." ”

"Thank you Yuan Taishou!"

After comforting Duan Tian, Yuan Chang led the army to slowly approach Rongcheng. And the soldiers stationed in Rongcheng tonight seem to be really as Duan Tian said, they are already in a group with him, and they will not guard against the arrival of Yuan Chang's army at all.

As he got closer and closer to the gate of Rongcheng, the excitement on Duan Tian's face became more and more intense, as if he was expecting to become the master of Rongcheng after taking Rongcheng. However, was Duan Tian really excited about this? Perhaps, only Duan Tian knew in his own heart what he was excited about.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Duan Tian walked outside the city gate and knocked rhythmically. At the same time, a rhythmic tapping sound sounded in the city gate, and after repeating this three times, Duan Tian retreated, and the city gate also moved.

"Squeak!"

The city gate slowly opened, from a slight gap, to gradually evolve to allow one person to pass through, two people to pass, and finally, half of the city gate has been opened.

"Yuan Taishou, hurry, before the soldiers of Shan Jing can react, we will quickly enter the city. ”

Duan Tian was excited to rush towards the city gate, however, before Duan Tian could get close to the city gate, Duan Tian suddenly found that a short halberd was on his neck, and the sudden occurrence made Duan Tian a little dazed.

"Yuan Taishou, what does this mean?"

Duan Tian looked at Yuan Chang with a puzzled expression, if anyone paid attention to it, they would find that a trace of cold sweat unconsciously flowed down Duan Tian's forehead.

"Humph!"

Yuan Chang snorted coldly, looked at Duan Tian with disdain, and said indifferently: "General Duan, are you Ben Taishou a three-year-old child? Such a simple trick to lure the enemy is trying to deceive Yu Ben Taishou? To tell you the truth, from the time you left Congrong City, Ben Taishou knew that you surrendered by fraud. ”

Duan Tian seemed to know that his plan had been discovered, and he could no longer hide it, so he no longer concealed it.

"That's right, Ben will indeed surrender. It's just that what makes Ben Jiang can't figure out is, Yuan Taishou, how did you know that Ben Jiang came to deceive him? If Ben Jiang really came to surrender, wouldn't Yuan Taishou do this, wouldn't it be chilling, and even missed a rare opportunity?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, the military advisor has long guessed that you will have this plan. Therefore, at nightfall, Ben Taishou had already sent spies to observe outside the city, and you left Rongcheng so easily, if you really wanted to surrender to Ben Taishou, how could you be so careless and undisguised? Obviously, you are just here to deceive and surrender. ”

"Yuan Taishou is really good, there are brave and fierce generals under his command, as well as unparalleled military advisors, and he is convinced by a certain defeat. However, since Yuan Taishou has already come here, don't go back!"

Duan Tian said quickly, and suddenly shouted towards the city: "The plan has been revealed, do it quickly!"

"Boom!"

As Duan Tian's words fell, the gate of Rongcheng burst open, and behind the city gate, the black army made people stunned. Obviously, Shan Jing had already been prepared, and once Yuan Chang entered the city, he was afraid that he would be besieged to death by countless enemy troops. Even the current situation is not optimistic, there are 20,000 troops in ambush inside the city gate? Not only are there only a few thousand men and horses in Rongcheng, how can there be 20,000 troops? Of course. These 20,000 troops were the reinforcements sent by Gongsun Zhan. It is precisely because of these 20,000 reinforcements that there will be a plan to surrender by deception.

When Duan Tian finished shouting, the soldiers in Rong Cheng pounced fiercely. Yuan Chang was not given a chance to react at all. Yuan Chang's 5,000 men and horses were facing the city gate at this time, and they couldn't react at all.

It's just that Yuan Chang will be afraid?

"General Duan, for your fierceness and fearlessness, Ben Taishou admires you very much. However, there is one thing that I have to tell you, even in this situation. Ben Taishou was not afraid. You haven't seen the elite strength of Bohai County, and you haven't had a chance to see it. Kill!"

Yuan Chang shouted, and Dian Wei's right hand pulled violently. Duan Tian's good head flew up. At the same time, the five thousand soldiers behind Yuan Chang also drew their weapons, revealing their hideousness.

These 5,000 soldiers are all the elite of Yuan Chang's army, and 3,000 are Dongping iron cavalry. Although the Dongping Iron Cavalry is a cavalry. However. Their infantry combat strength is also not weak, and all this is naturally due to Han Sui's training. In order to make the Dongping Iron Cavalry an invincible spear in Yuan Chang's hands, Han Sui can be said to have worked hard and made great efforts to train the Dongping Iron Cavalry to the current level. And today, it is time to test the strength of Dongping Iron Cavalry.

The other 2,000 soldiers were other elites selected from the army, all of whom were strong men. The only drawback is that none of these soldiers have experienced the tempering of war.

"Changshan Zhao Zilong is here. Who fights with a certain one!"

"Chen Liudian Hongfei is here, who will fight with me!"

"Take Rongcheng. Tonight!"

"Sons, the time has come to make meritorious contributions, kill with General Ben!"

When Yuan Chang's order was given, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei both showed their hideousness and rushed forward in the lead. Hearing the encouragement of Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, the five thousand soldiers behind him also shouted and rushed forward. Even if the other party had 20,000 horses, they were not afraid.

"Kill!"

"Invade my territory, and leave no one behind!"

The soldiers of Gongsun Chan in the city also shouted and rushed up, and the soldiers on both sides launched a fierce battle in the narrow area at the city gate.

The spear in Zhao Yun's hand shot out again and again, and the enemy soldiers were like raindrops falling, but after a few breaths, Zhao Yun's feet were already full of enemy corpses; Under Dian Wei's murderous killing, the soldiers of Shan Jing showed fear, and most of the soldiers would rather rush to fight Zhao Yun than face Dian Wei, a devil-like killer.

"Ahhh

Dian Wei was really crazy enough, and when he saw that there was almost no enemy in front of him, he immediately roared angrily, brandishing his halberd and rushing into the crowd. Under the influence of Dian Wei, the soldiers who followed behind Dian Wei also doubled their courage and rushed forward without fear of death. Zhao Yun on the other side saw that Dian Wei had such a huge advantage, and he was not to be outdone, and the spear in his hand was brandished even more fiercely, and more and more enemy troops died under Zhao Yun's hands. And the enemy army seemed to know Zhao Yun's strength, and they all began to retreat in fear.

Yuan Chang's army was only three or four meters away from the city gate, and before the time for a stick of incense to be burned, it had already advanced a distance of one meter. At this rate, Yuan Chang's men and horses would soon be able to occupy the city gates. Once Yuan Chang's men and horses were allowed to enter the city, how could the soldiers of Shan Jing have no advantage in the city wall, and how could they stop Yuan Chang's offensive?

"General Shan, our army is retreating day by day, if we continue like this, Rongcheng will soon be lost, what should we do now?"

Beside Shan Jing, there stood a middle-aged man with a solemn face. This person is Zou Dan, the Taishou of Yuyang County under the command of Gongsun Zhan, and this time he led an army of 20,000 to support Rongcheng.

After listening to Zou Dan's words, Shan Jing also had a bitter face.

How could he have thought that Yuan Chang's soldiers would be so strong, especially the two fierce generals Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, who were even more indescribably strong. Under the leadership of Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, their own soldiers couldn't resist at all. Originally, Shan Jing wanted to lure Yuan Chang into the city by deception, and then use the army to pile Yuan Chang to death. However, who knew that Yuan Chang already knew about Duan Tian's plan to surrender and did not enter the city. Although Yuan Chang saw through the strategy, Shan Jing still had hope. Now Yuan Chang only led 5,000 men and horses, and he had 20,000 horses, and before Yuan Chang's army arrived, Yuan Chang and these 5,000 men and horses were wiped out. Without the big boss of Yuan Chang, the soldiers of Bohai County have no leader, what combat power can they have? Of course. The idea of Shan Jing is very beautiful, but the reality is very skinny. The facts that are happening in front of us make Shan Jing hopeless.

Shan Jing gritted his teeth and suddenly shouted: "Kill Yuan Chang, the official will be promoted to the fifth level, and the reward will be ten thousand taels!" The official is promoted to the third level, and the reward is 1,000 taels! If you kill an enemy, the official will be promoted to the next level. Bounty a tael!"

The situation is already very serious, and Shan has to make heavy profits to tempt.

Sure enough, money deceives people, and they hear the rewards of the Shan Sutra. The 20,000 soldiers were like chickens. The soldiers who were still retreating were also screaming at this moment, roaring and rushing out again. There is no hope of killing Yuan Chang and the generals, but it is always possible to kill small soldiers, and one is worth one or two gold, which is also an extremely high reward.

Yuan Chang's brows suddenly furrowed!

Originally. You already have a huge advantage, as long as it takes another quarter of an hour or so. You can take the city gate and occupy Rongcheng. However, who knew that Shan Jing would have invested so much money to boost the enemy's already declining morale again. The 5,000 soldiers led by Yuan Chang this time are all elite, and even if there is a temptation of heavy rewards, the combat effectiveness will not change much. Therefore, Yuan Chang did not waste his energy shouting at all. However, even the elite is a little difficult in the face of a group of outlaws who want money and don't want their lives. At least, in just a few breaths, many of Yuan Chang's soldiers had already fallen. If this continued, even if he could take Rongcheng, these five thousand soldiers would suffer heavy losses, which was not the result Yuan Chang wanted.

"Zilong, can you shoot Shan Jing?"

Yuan Chang shouted at Zhao Yun not far away, with Zhao Yun's archery technique, he might be able to do it.

"Lord, standing in the back alone, and guarded by heavy guards, I'm afraid I can't shoot it!" Zhao Yun observed for a moment and shook his head helplessly.

"Is there no way?"

Yuan Chang frowned and muttered in a low voice.

"The lord is worry-free, and see that his subordinates will take the head of the single scripture!"

Zhao Yun turned around and comforted Yuan Chang, and then the spear in his hand waved violently again, Zhao Yun at this moment was really in a state of battle, just now, it was just a warm-up!

"Hong Fei, dare to compete with me to see who enters the city first!"

"Why don't you dare!"

Dian Wei raised his halberd and roared in response. In the face of challenges, Dian Wei has never been afraid!

"Drink!"

"Kill!"

Zhao Yun and Dian Wei glanced at each other and shouted angrily at the same time. Subsequently, Dan saw the two fiercely waving the blades in their hands, and the soldiers fell at the feet of the two from time to time. And the figures of the two gradually approached the city gate. Under the strong offensive of Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, no one could resist it at all.

Yuan Chang saw the actions of Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, and immediately knew that Zhao Yun saw that he couldn't shoot Shan Jing remotely, so he wanted to enter the encirclement and take off the head of Shan Jing. Regarding the safety of Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, Yuan Chang was not too worried. At least, in the history known to Yuan Chang, there were no strong generals under Gongsun Zhan. In addition to Bai Ma Yicong's ability to amaze people, Gongsun Chan really doesn't seem to have any combat power that can be used.

"What's going on?"

Shan Jing and Zou Dan, who were watching the battle in the rear, suddenly saw the soldiers in a certain range of their side constantly falling and retreating, and immediately exclaimed.

"General, the two generals on the other side are brave and invincible, our army is invincible, and the two of them are approaching the city gate. ”

"What?"

Shan Jing and Zou Dan exclaimed at the same time, and hurriedly turned over and got on the horse, and when they saw the fierce actions of Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, their faces suddenly changed greatly.

"Damn!"

After scolding in a low voice, he discussed with Zou Dan beside him: "These two people are so strong, I am afraid that they are rare generals in the world who are ten thousand enemies, and I don't want Yuan Chang to have such a strong general, but there is no one in the hateful army who can match them." Zou Taishou, what do you think should be the best?"

Zou Dan also frowned, Zou Dan had followed Gongsun Zhan to conquer the northern alien races for many years, and had also seen the fierce combat power of the northern alien races. However, he had never seen such peerless generals as Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, and he didn't know how to deal with them at all. If there is Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong here, only a hundred people are needed, and the two of them can be consumed to death. However, Gongsun Zhan's army had to guard against Yuan Shao's 150,000 army, and Bai Ma Yicong had always been in a state of readiness and did not support the battlefield here at all.

I thought about it. Zou Dan said: "General Shan, no matter how fierce the enemy is, there are only two of them. We have 20,000 horses under our command. As long as the soldiers are attentive, no matter how strong the enemy is, they can be cut down by the horse. ”

"What Zou Taishou said is very true!"

After listening to Zou Dan's words, his tense mood was much more relaxed. Looking at the soldiers in front of him, Shan Jing shouted: "Sons, there are only two of them, and if you can't kill ten people, you will be a hundred, and you can't kill a hundred people." There are thousands of people. Do you all think that you are cowards and do not have the courage to fight? What are you still hesitating about, show your courage and fight!"

Shan Jing's shouting seemed to have an effect, and the soldiers, who had been demoralized again, roared and rushed forward again. In the face of great temptation. Death doesn't seem to be terrible anymore. And the enemy army is so fierce and fearless of death. Naturally, it also brought great obstacles to Zhao Yun and Dian Wei.

"Damn!"

Under such a ferocious attack of the enemy, Dian Wei was caught off guard, and was actually cut by an enemy soldier, and a little blood flowed out of the wound. Dian Wei suddenly roared angrily, for Dian Wei, this little injury is simply a sign of shame, how can Dian Wei not be angry?

"Die to me!"

When Dian Wei was injured, Dian Wei seemed to fall into a state of madness. The twin halberds in their hands wielded more ferocity, but the enemy soldiers who were touched by the halberds. None of them were able to stand up. Either they were seriously injured, or they were killed on the spot. Unexpectedly, the angry Dian Wei was able to exert a stronger combat power than usual. However, Dian Wei's combat effectiveness in such a state has increased, but his defense has been neglected, and his arm has been cut by the opponent's weapon from time to time, and it is also thanks to the armor that Dian Wei is wearing. Otherwise, maybe Dian Wei's vital parts were attacked.

Zhao Yun on the side saw Dian Wei's situation, and he didn't care about continuing to attack, but approached Dian Wei to cover Dian Wei's attack. With Zhao Yun's defense, Dian Wei's injuries stopped increasing. Even if the injuries are not very serious, if the number of wounds continues to increase, I don't know how much blood will be lost. At that time, Dian Wei may faint due to excessive blood loss, and at that time, Dian Wei may become the target of the other party's slaughter.

However, after Dian Wei's crazy attack and Zhao Yun's defense, he didn't expect the speed of the two to move faster. Dian Wei was unexpectedly angry, but he unexpectedly united Zhao Yun together. In the future, the two often fought in such a state, and were nicknamed the "Condor Heroes" on the battlefield by the generals under Yuan Chang's command.

"What's going on, getting closer and closer to the city gates?"

Shan Jing and Zou Dan saw that Zhao Yun and Dian Wei were advancing faster and faster, and their faces suddenly became even more ugly. Originally, Shan Jing and Zou Dan thought that under serious injuries, there would not be much problem in blocking Zhao Yun and Dian Wei's offensive. Who would have thought that such a move would make Zhao Yun and Dian Wei's offensive more ferocious.

"General Shan, if you continue to do this, I'm afraid the city gate will not be able to hold it. When the time comes, Yuan Chang's army will pour into the city, and it will be even more difficult for us to resist. If we lose Rongcheng, you and I will not be able to substitute for the Lord!"

Zou Dan looked at Shan Jing with an anxious look on his face.

Originally, Zou Dan led an army of 20,000 to Rongcheng this time, just to hold Rongcheng. As long as Yuan Chang's army is not allowed to enter the Youzhou realm, when the battle between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao on the other side is decided, Gongsun Chan can lead the army to the battlefield here to support. If it weren't for the idea of deception, they might still be sleeping comfortably in the bed at this moment, as long as they hold Rongcheng steadily, how can they be as worried as now, Rongcheng may be lost at any time.

Shan Jing naturally heard the meaning of complaining in Zou Dan's words, and Shan Jing also scolded in his heart, and Zou Dan also agreed to his plan at that time. Now that the plan has failed, he blames himself. Thinking so in my heart, I didn't say it, and now is a critical time, and it is useless to blame anyone. If they lose Rongcheng, both of them will have a hard time. What we have to do now is to block the offensive of Zhao Yun and Dian Wei and hold Rongcheng without losing!

"Zou Taishou, when it is critical now, you and I can't take care of too much. Ordinary soldiers are afraid that they will not be able to resist the two of them at all, so you and I will send our own soldiers under our command and mobilize archers from the city at the same time, so that there will be a chance to turn around. ”

After listening to Shan Jing's opinion, Zou Dan thought about it and agreed.

The two of their personal soldiers are all good in the army, and their combat power is stronger than that of ordinary soldiers, and now it seems that they can only send their personal soldiers, and they can't care about being distressed.

Sure enough, with the addition of Shan Jing and Zou Dan's personal soldiers, the offensive of Zhao Yun and Dian Wei was indeed delayed, and the speed of advance was much slower.

"Haha, it really works! When the archers in the city arrive, these two people will definitely die without a place to be buried!"

Seeing this, Shan Jing immediately laughed proudly. However, before Shan Jing was proud, the subsequent situation made Shan Jing and Zou Dan's faces change again. (To be continued......)
