Chapter 664: Wind and Snow (16)
Yan Qi saw that the bloodstained, wolf-like Aziz appeared in front of him, and listened to his narration with a trilling voice that he was attacked by the Eastern Army outside Tongwan City, and the whole army had been broken up and collapsed, and when there were countless casualties, Yan Qi's face was almost green at this moment.
Looking at Aziz with a flurry of words, Yan Qi couldn't understand how Aziz with nearly 10,000 elite soldiers and strong generals was attacked by Yan Peng, who was about the same as his strength, but the elite Cheng DΓΉ was far from being comparable to Yan Peng, and he was powerless to fight back. What Aziz said about the Eastern Army and countless reinforcements hidden outside, it is tantamount to a fart, how many troops the Eastern Army has in Hetao, that has long been heard clearly, Gao Yuan is not a god, it is impossible to conjure more soldiers and horses.
Although the soldiers and horses of Tongwan City will not cause much trouble to themselves, they will inevitably contain part of their own forces, which will weaken their own strength to attack the vanguard city, and add countless difficulties for no reason.
Layers of wrinkles were stacked on his face, and the corners of Yan Qi's mouth pulled out an arc, as if he was angry, and as if he was laughing, he bent down and helped Aziz up.
Just when Aziz breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and thought that he had passed this level, Yan Qi's left hand let go of Aziz, and he easily pulled out the bloodstained scimitar from his waist, and stabbed him into his lower abdomen without the slightest fireworks.
Letting go of the handle, Yan Qi took a step back and looked at Aziz coldly, "Lose your teacher and humiliate the country, damn it." β
Almost half of the scimitar was inserted into Aziz's lower abdomen, and the two guards who came in with Aziz saw the handle on Aziz's lower abdomen, but before they could react, Murong Kun beside Yan Qi had already drawn out the scimitar, the knife flashed, and the two guards also fell in a pool of blood at the same time.
"Shut up all those who had come back with Aziz, and ordered all those in the military tent who knew about it to shut up. Dare to leak a word, kill Wuhe! Yan Qi's face was full of anger.
"The sentry horse immediately found out whether Yan Peng of Tongwan City is marching towards Pioneer City, how many people and horses, and take that route!"
"Immediately send a military order to Mo Yanlu, within two days, he will take down the capital for me, and then march to Tongwan City, if Yan Peng dares to come to the Pioneer City, he will immediately attack Tongwan City for me. No matter the cost, not afraid of death and injury. β
A series of military orders were issued, Yan Qi let out a long breath, it seemed that all the strength of his whole body was drained at once, and he sat weakly on the big chair, which was covered with thick fur, but he still felt a chill coming.
"General, is it Helan Yan's cavalry that attacked Aziz?" Murong Kun walked in front of the big case and said in a low voice.
"No way. That cavalry was so far away from the city of Tongwan, and on this road we had laid so many sentries that we could not find them for a while. But if they want to attack us, there are only a few paths they can take, how can they approach Aziz without a word. This battle must be because Aziz underestimated the enemy and neglected it. Therefore, it is taken advantage of by the enemy. With the defeat of Aziz, Helan Yan may really join forces with Yan Peng and approach our army. With more than 4,000 cavalry and nearly 10,000 foot soldiers in Tongwan City, they do already have the strength to threaten us. β
"What are we going to do now?"
"Wait for the news first, wait until we find out the movements of Helan Yan and Yan Peng's army, and then decide on the next move, but now, we must immediately launch an attack on the vanguard city, let Xiang Zheng take his five thousand foot soldiers as the vanguard to attack the city, and Ususotan will be in battle. Fight a dozen first, find out the weaknesses of this vanguard city, Xiang Zheng is an expert in this area, Ususotan is just a battle, don't interfere with Xiang Zheng's command. β
"Okay, I'll give the order right away." Murong Kun turned around and walked out of the big tent.
Under the vanguard city, in the snowflake dance, the Donghu army suddenly launched an impact on the city wall, 5,000 foot soldiers attacked, 5,000 cavalry marched, wave after wave like a wave of chaos, carrying the ladder, hitting the wood, pushing the Meng Chong car, surging towards the vanguard city, on the city wall, Xu Yuan sneered Zhuo Li, defending the city, he personally guarded the front of the Donghu people's impact, and Ni Huazong and Tao Jiawang were in charge of the other two directions, as for the direction near the Liao River, the enemy could not arrange heavy troops, so only one regimental army guarded.
As the generals of the Central Plains, they are naturally extremely familiar with the attack and defense of the city, and they don't care about this kind of tentative attack at all, the only thing they need to pay attention to is not to expose their weaknesses in front of the other party, but are there many weaknesses in the vanguard city? Xu Yuan sneered in his heart, a small Dubanzhai has not been won by the Donghu people now, let alone a pioneer city that is many times larger than Dubanzhai.
Strictly speaking, Dubozhai is only a small castle, but the pioneer city is a solid city.
He even only sent a messenger to inform the governor of the city, Gao Yuan, that there was no need to trouble the governor for such an attack.
As the enemy drew closer, an officer drew his sword and fell heavily on the city.
"Shoot the arrows!"
In the city, arrows were like flying locusts, and the black pressure covered the sky and enveloped the attacking crowd.
In the city, Gao Yuan and Ning Xin sat opposite each other, in front of them, there was a black and white chess table, and the earth-shattering shouts outside came clearly, and Gao Yuan seemed to be a little distracted.
Seeing the position of the son who fell from Gao Yuan, the corners of Ning Xin's mouth hooked up a shallow smile, "Dudu, this son has fallen, you are powerless to return to the sky." β
When Gao Yuan looked at it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, when the word himself fell, he actually blocked one eye of one of his already precarious dragons, as long as Ning Xin had one more son, his big dragon would die no longer dead.
Waving his sleeves and messing up the chess pieces on the shelf, Gao Yuan shook his head, "Originally, the chess art stinks, and he is still looking for his own death, no play, no play." β
Ning Xin smiled slightly, took down the delicate small copper kettle from the charcoal stove beside her, turned around and took a large tray on the table next to her, inside was a complete set of delicate tea utensils, Ning Xin skillfully began to make tea, boiling water rushed into the teapot, and bursts of fragrance immediately came to her nose.
Looking at Ning Xin's delicate porcelain-like little hands flying up and down, Gao Yuan's eyes couldn't help but be attracted to the past, to be honest, he really had never seen a woman as proficient in tea ceremony as Ning Xin, Mrs. Ye Jing'er had been in trouble since she was a child, although she learned some of these things later, but she was far from being skilled, not to mention He Lanyan, this was a female man on horseback, holding a water ladle and drinking water, but such a small and delicate porcelain in her hands, if she was not careful, I was afraid that she would crush it.
Looking at Ning Xin's movements, Gao Yuan's slightly chaotic heart slowly calmed down.
Ning Xin placed a row of four small cups filled with turquoise tea in front of Gao Yuan in turn, and stared at Gao Yuan, "Du Du's heart seems to be a little chaotic, has something to do with this war?" Now it's just a stalemate stage, far from a time when it's far from winning or losing, how can the governor be so uneasy? β
"It's not this one that's going on outside!" Gao Yuan shook his head, "I'm uneasy, and I can't find any reason for it for a while, I always feel that something big is going to happen, but I can't feel it, this feeling is very bad." β
"Intuition?" Ning Xin smiled and said, "Such a big battle, feel it intuitively, it's not big, right?" β
Gao Yuan smiled and twisted a small teacup with two fingers, "This war has been planned in advance to every detail, but the war is never carried out according to your plan, any small change may lead to a big change in the entire battle situation, I don't know if you have heard a horseshoe story?" β
Ning Xin shook her head.
"Before a battle, a soldier forgot to repair the horseshoe for their general's horse, and as a result, the horse lost its front hooves on the battlefield because of the damage to the horseshoes, and the general fell off the horse, and the general died, and the war was lost, which seemed to be a small thing, but in the end it led to the defeat of the whole war." Gao Yuan is simple and authentic.
Ning Xin raised her eyebrows, "The current war is not the same as before, although I haven't heard your story, I also know that the current war is far from irreversible because of the sudden death of a leading general." When the general died, there were adjutant generals, and when the adjutant general died, there were more generals who came up in order. β
"I know, I'm just making an analogy." Gao Yuan laughed, "Forget it, maybe I care too much about the outcome of this battle, so I think too much, and I look at it." He raised the teacup to drink, but Ning Xin raised his hand to stop him, "Dudu, you took the wrong cup, drink this tea, you have to start from the first cup here, and drink it in turn to taste the taste of this tea." β
Gao Yuan froze there for a while, and only after a while did he shake his head, put down the cup in his hand, picked up the first one again, and said embarrassedly: "Speaking of these, I really don't know anything, you can teach me more in the future, so as not to show my cowardice in front of outsiders in the future." β
Ning Xin smiled and lowered her head, but did not speak, showing timidity in front of outsiders, meaning that she was not an outsider?
Gao Yuan didn't notice Ning Xin's strange appearance, and while drinking tea, he was still thinking carefully in his mind about this battle, where there might be an accident.
On the east bank of the Liao River, more than 80 miles away from Dubanzhai and more than 50 miles away from the Liao River, on the undulating hills and snowfields, countless soldiers are struggling to wave their shovels and dig out holes that can hide themselves.
After half a night's journey, the snow field regained its calm, and from a distance, it looked like no different from the rest of the world, and the countless murderous motives contained in it were hidden by the flying snow.
In the other direction, the overwhelming cavalry was galloping on the snowfield, and the banner of the Eastern Army was hunting in the wind and snow. (To be continued......)
