32. Counterattack

Yan Xu only stayed in Qiongzhou for a few days, and after the army was repaired, he continued to march south. After capturing Qiongzhou in the south and Yan Luo in the north, Yan Luo crossed the Moon Gorge again, Wei no longer had the possibility of turning defeat into victory, he didn't want to waste any more time, he wanted to fight quickly, and try his best to recover Wei so as to make time to prepare for going to Shifang.

All the way south, the momentum was like a bamboo, just when Yan Xu thought that there was no suspense in this battle, the war was blocked in Yucheng. Yucheng is not the capital of Wei, but it is the strongest city of Wei, Yan Luo's soldiers and horses have swept through the northern part of Wei, as long as Yan Xu takes Yucheng again, the capital is isolated and helpless, and it is bound to take the initiative to sue for peace. But this small Yucheng made Yan Xu's 50,000 soldiers and horses unable to attack for a long time.

The city wall of Yucheng is nearly two zhang higher than other cities, and the city wall is also extremely strong, the ladder used by the Jin army to attack the city is not used at all, and the big chong car has also damaged dozens of cars, but Yucheng still holds on. While attacking and defending, it was a tug-of-war for nearly a month in the blink of an eye. Yan Xu's face became more and more heavy, he really didn't expect this small Yucheng to hold on for so long.

During this period, news came from the Ming Flame Division that after learning of Zi Shuo's rebellion, he was extremely angry and ordered Tong Mo to personally arrest Zi Shuo, but Zi Shuo disappeared like morning mist and disappeared. While the Ming Yan Division stepped up to arrest Zishuo, he rushed to make the Bliss Pill day and night. Now, after that anger, his health is getting worse and worse, and he can't get out of bed for several days, and he even detains King Rui in the palace, and he doesn't even let letters in.

At the second watch of this night, his subordinates reported that the north gate of Yucheng had just killed a cavalry of 200 people, as if he wanted to escort someone out of the city, Yan Xu ordered a siege, and never allowed a pawn or a horse to escape. After another moment, there were generals who came to report one after another, and a small group of men and horses from each city gate came out from time to time, and when the Jin army rushed to kill, they hurriedly retreated.

Yan Xu sneered, the scout had reported that the prince of Wei was in Yucheng, and after nearly a month of siege, it seemed that the people in the city were no longer willing to wait for death.

He got up and motioned for Xiyue to put on armor for him, Xiyue carefully buttoned the heart guard for him, and asked, "You want to go and see it yourself?" โ€

Yan Xu responded, "I can't let the prince escape, if I can capture the prince of Wei alive, and the Wei army will not surrender until the Wei army, since the Wei army wants to give a big gift, how can I not accept it well?" "The battle of Yucheng has dragged on for too long, and he has begun to get impatient.

Xiyue was unwilling to wait for him in the tent, and after dressing him up, she also hung the long sword on her waist and followed him out of the big tent. In the days in the army, Xiyue was wearing the clothes of a general, although her shoulders looked a little thinner, but except for Yun Wei, other soldiers thought that she was a soldier who served Yan Xu closely.

Yan Xu looked up at the sky, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the dark clouds were thick, it was really a good day to sneak attack and escape

"Report! The south gate opened, and a team of 100 people went out of the city. โ€

"Report! At the east gate, ten chariots rushed with a troop of cavalry, about two hundred people. โ€

There were constantly soldiers coming to report, and the gates of each city were opened from time to time, and a small team was released to break through, and these small teams that broke through were often either killed by the Jin soldiers, or rushed to kill for a while and then fled back to the city in a hurry. Yan Xu knew that Wei was just disrupting his line of sight, so that the Jin army would be distracted, and the real rear was still to come.

Sure enough, another hour passed, and the two city gates of one south and one north were opened, and this time it was no longer a small team of people and horses, but the elite of the Wei army in Jin Ge's iron armor.

Yan Xu sat firmly on the horse, watched the two armies face each other, and commanded left and right in a deep voice, "Let people pay attention to the east and west, don't let Prince Wei come to transfer the tiger from the mountain and mix out of Yucheng." โ€

Yan Xu was not mistaken, tonight the Wei State made a big move, and it was really to confuse the Jin army. The scout came to report that just a moment ago, Prince Wei had quietly escaped from the West Gate under the escort of the dead. Yan Xu asked about the situation carefully, and when he heard that the prince of Wei was still wearing an apricot yellow crown when he left the city, he couldn't help sneering and rode his horse towards the east gate.

When I arrived at the east gate, sure enough, a small group of elites was breaking through. Yan Xu had long expected that the one in Ximen who was wearing the prince's costume was a fake prince, and the real prince should be mixing in this small group of people. The people who protected the prince to break through were extraordinary, and they were by no means ordinary soldiers, Yan Xu waved his hand, and dozens of cloud guards behind him surrounded him at a gallop, fighting with those guards.

The two sides were fighting in the middle of a fight, and a thunderclap suddenly exploded in the air, and a white light flashed in the sky, and then it rained heavily. It seems that the Wei people have calculated the bad weather tonight and deliberately chose to raid tonight. The bean-sized raindrops hit his face and slid down his cheeks, Yan Xu half-squinted, although in the rain, his eyes were as sharp as a beast, staring closely at the group of Wei people who rushed left and right, and soon found the clue.

The man's clothes were the same as the rest of the guards, but he shrank in horror, his hands clutched in the bridles, and he was protected by three or four people beside him, obviously a man who did not understand martial arts. Yan Xu rode his horse and rushed out like an arrow. Xiyue wanted to follow, but Yunzhu stopped her and told her that she didn't have to worry, Yunwen asked them to protect him, and Xiyue had to stop and watch in place.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and it hurt my face, and after a while, I could barely see anything from beyond three feet. Xiyue waited anxiously for a long time, with a vague bad premonition in her heart, she gritted her teeth, and ran in the direction of Yan Xu despite Yunzhu's obstruction of riding the horse.

But it was said that Yan Xu was originally staring closely at the Wei man who didn't know martial arts, but every time he was about to capture that person, he was lucky to dodge, seeing that the guards around the person were entangled by Yun Wei, and he was left alone. Yan Xu was greatly annoyed, if Prince Wei escaped, Yucheng would inevitably hold on even more. He didn't care much, and rode after him.

The two horses one after the other, running farther and farther, the prince of Wei panicked, actually drove the horse to the river, under the pouring rain, the river swelled, the river beach was full of potholes, his horse fell down after a stumble, he fluttered and fell into the puddle, wolf bรจi got up and wanted to run to the river.

Yan Xu's horse had already run closer, and he leaned down from his horse and grabbed Prince Wei's vest. When his hand was about to touch Prince Wei, Prince Wei, who was stumbling, suddenly turned around, the silver light flashed, Yan Xu secretly said that it was not good, but unfortunately it was a step too late, a sharp sword had penetrated his armor, he only felt a pain in his left shoulder, and the person fell off the horse.

The horse was frightened, raised its front hooves and neighed twice, and then ran. Yan Xu endured the severe pain, and stood up from the mud with difficulty, and the "Prince Wei" who was dodging on horseback was walking towards him with his sword, and in the pouring rain, the lone wolf-like eyes showed a fierce light, and the sword in his hand stabbed out of the rain and took him to the throat.

"It's you!"

"It's me!"

Yan Xu was taken aback, he recognized the light of his eyes, as early as when he was in the fighting beast ring, he was deeply impressed by those lone wolf-like fierce eyes, at that time he only thought that he was an ordinary flame envoy, but he didn't expect this little flame envoy to make one after another actions that he didn't expect.

The heavy rain washed over the bodies of the two, and the blood on Yan Xu's shoulders fell into the mud mixed with the rain, and he couldn't tell whether it was blood or rain. An Yi's face was half hidden in the rain, his eyes were firmly fixed on Yan Xu, the sword in his hand was getting faster and faster, and every move was mercilessly attacking his left side of his body.

Yan Xu knew that he was careless this time, but it was useless to regret it at this time, he tried his best to resist, hoping to delay time and wait for Yun Wei to come to the rescue, but the blood on his shoulder was flowing more and more, he gradually felt strained, and the sword in his hand became heavier and heavier. After a few more moves, he was forced deep into the river beach by An Yi, and the river overflowed the calves of the two. An Yi flew up with a kick and hit Yan Xu in the chest, and Yan Xu was kicked into the water with his back on his back.

The cold river instantly covered his head and face, and he struggled to get up, but the wound on his shoulder tore at him like a tooth, and he stumbled and fell again.

An comfortable sword stabbed out from a mist, for the first time in his life, Yan Xu felt fear and despair, but more was unwilling, his grand ambition had not yet had time to be displayed, he was unwilling to die like this, he opened his eyes wide, watching the white light splash and stab at himself......

Between the lightning and flint, a petite figure jumped up from the horse's back, and before the person landed, the sword in his hand had stabbed towards An Yi. An Yi had no choice but to return to the sword to resist, he was only a little bit close to Yan Xu's life just now, but at this moment, Yan Xu was washed away by the river.

An Yi was annoyed and angry, and his attack was even more fierce, but when he saw the person who attacked him, he couldn't help but be surprised, and forcibly moved the tip of the sword away by half a minute, "Yezi, it's me!" โ€

He thought she would stop, but she didn't, she didn't even pause for a moment, her sword mixed with the cold, stabbing at him one move after another.

"Leaf, stop! If Yan Xu doesn't die today, it will be you who will die in the future! โ€

An Yi didn't want to hurt her, so she shouted while hiding, but she didn't mean to stop at all, her face was unusually pale under the rain, but she was full of stubbornness, and attacked him regardless of it.

An Yi's heart swelled with unspeakable anger, and with the strength of his palm, a sword shook Xiyue's sword and stabbed towards her face. I didn't think that Xiyue didn't dodge or dodge at all, and went up towards the sword. An Yi was shocked, and took a step back with his sword, "Are you crazy......"

Before the words fell, three extremely thin silver lights flew out of her wrists, and it was too late for An Yi to dodge, and she watched as the three hidden arrows did not enter her chest. He poured into the water, the water splashed, he watched her from the water and ran towards the river without a single breath, his heart was sad, the sleeve arrow was given to her by him tactfully, so that she could save herself in an emergency, but he did not expect that in an emergency, she would use it against herself.
