Chapter 605, Tears of Heroes 9

You must kill Li Yan. [Full text reading. 】

Therefore, Sun Kewang ordered the whole army to attack Nanzheng.

When Li Yan heard Sun Kewang rushing murderously, he didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly led his army to the city, preparing to fight.

Li Yan knew that the pressure was very high, and it was best to frustrate Sun Kewang's sharpness in this battle, so he sent a deputy general to set up an ambush twenty miles outside the city, brought five hundred crossbowmen, and ambushed him in a high place.

This lieutenant general came to the ambush site with five hundred crossbowmen, set up a formation, and just after the ambush, Sun Kewang's forward men and horses arrived.

This is 5,000 cavalry, led by the generals who are arrogant and invincible, and when they enter the S journey, the Qin army suddenly appeared, arrows rained down, and came to the Great Western Army S.

The general was hit in the thigh by S and was slightly injured, and when he understood and knew that he had been ambushed, he hurriedly drank and made the horse retreat, at this time more than 200 cavalry had been hit by arrows and killed more than 100 people.

The purpose of the Qin army had been achieved, and under the leadership of the adjutant general, it withdrew.

Li Yan waited until these horses and horses withdrew, immediately closed the city gate, and put all the things guarding the city on the head of the city.

Sun Kewang was extremely angry, and led his men and horses to the city, but he did not make any reservations and immediately attacked the city. Li Yan personally led the Qin army and resisted vigorously.

The two sides fought extremely fiercely, because Li Yan was well prepared, the morale of the Qin army was high, and Sun Kewang oversaw the army for half a day, until dusk, and there was no progress. I had to collect my troops and set up a large camp.

At night, Li Yan secretly led a thousand men and horses out of the city to attack Sun Kewang, unlike usual, this army mostly brought gongs and drums, and all of them were cavalry.

Li Yan led the men and horses to the outside of Sun Kewang's camp, far away from Wuli Road, stopped and looked at Sun Kewang's camp in the distance, at this time the camp was brightly lit, Li Yan did not move, and waited quietly.

After a watch, the lights in Sun Kewang's camp gradually thinned out, and finally it was almost completely invisible, only some fires remained, which were lit by the night patrol soldiers, and it was close to the day of the watch at this time.

Sun Kewang jumped out of the big tent with his clothes on, and ordered the whole camp to be on guard and prepare to fight, he understood very well that Li Yan was also very treacherous with his soldiers, and it was likely to steal the camp at night, fortunately, he had already made arrangements, and the camp was firmly entrenched, even if the Qin army killed him, he would not be able to attack the camp for a while and a half.

Under his order, all the horses moved, and the Great Western Army ran out of the camp tent, lined up outside, with the bow wound, the sword unsheathed, and was on full alert.

But at this time, the Qin army disappeared, and even the sound of gongs and drums no longer sounded.

Sun Kewang was very puzzled, and hurriedly sent someone to investigate, and after a short time, Tanma came back to report, saying that there was silence around the camp, and there was no shadow of the Qin army.

Hearing this, Sun Kewang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it must have been arranged by himself, and the Qin army saw that there was no gap, so he retreated in disgrace, so he ordered to leave some men and horses on duty at night, and the rest of the sergeants returned to the tent to rest.

And the army yawned, and they all went back to their tents, stripped off and fell asleep.

Li Yan watched from a distance, saw that the lights of Sun Kewang's camp had been extinguished again, and after waiting for a while, he felt that the soldiers of the Great West Army were almost asleep, and he ordered the charge again.

So the drums, gongs, horses' hooves, and shouts sounded again, earth-shattering.

In this way, the Great Western Army woke up from its sleep again, and Sun Kewang once again ordered the men and horses to prepare and prepare for the fight.

But when the soldiers of the Great Western Army put on their armor, took up their weapons, got out of the big tent, formed their formation, and waited for the battle, the earth-shattering shouts of killing disappeared again.

Sun Kewang sent people to investigate again, and got the report that it was the same as last time, and there was no shadow of the enemy around. And Sun Kewang was afraid of the ambush and did not dare to send men and horses out of the camp.

So this night, Sun Kewang was awakened three times in a row, but each time there was no shadow of the Qin army, a false alarm, he and his soldiers did not sleep all night, all exhausted. The next day there was no energy to storm the city.

Li Yan stood at the head of the city, looking at Sun Kewang's camp in the distance, and smiled secretly in his heart, and the Qin troops around him were also dancing one by one, talking about the events of last night.

A deputy general asked Li Yan: "Childe, your move can be very bad." During the day, people attack the city, and at night they don't let people sleep, and if it continues like this, the iron man will have to survive. ”

Li Yan smiled: "Hasn't Sun Kewang ever read?" Didn't he know that there was such a plan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? In that case, let's go and mess with him again tonight. ”

At night, Li Yan did not go out, and sent a deputy general to take two thousand men and horses out of the city, continuing the trick of the previous day.

No matter how stupid Sun Kewang was, he understood at this time that this was Li Yan's trick, which was to make his men and horses tired and tired, and they couldn't fight.

On the third day, Sun Kewang gave the order to retreat ten miles, a little farther away from Nanzheng City.

Li Yan got the report, saying that Sun Kewang retreated ten miles and re-camped, he couldn't help laughing, his purpose was not only to make Sun Kewang retreat, but more importantly, his attacks in the past few nights had exhausted the Great Western Army, and he was unable to attack the city during the day, which won time for the Qin army.

In the past few days, Li Yan strengthened the city defense, trained the people's army, and manufactured weapons, and he was in full swing, and Nanzheng City was strengthened again.

Sun Kewang did not attack until the fourth day, and this time, Sun Kewang fought hard, and the anger he had held for a few days was vented in one go, and his men and horses were also extremely fierce, attacking desperately, and the casualties of both armies were very heavy.

Li Yan commanded the battle on the city tower, braving the rain of arrows and arrows, not retreating, he only had six or seven thousand Qin troops in his hands, but in the past few days, he has trained a group of civilian troops, which can also come in handy, and Li Yan told the people in the city that this time the Great Western Army is coming to vent their anger, once they enter Nanzheng, they will inevitably slaughter the city, and no one in the city can live.

When the people heard this, they were all indignant and vowed to live and die with Nan Zhengcheng. Therefore, the whole city swore to die, and the people also worked hard, men went to the city, women rescued the wounded, and truly all the people were soldiers.

In front of the soldiers and civilians of Nanzheng, who were united in their efforts and strictly defended, Sun Kewang attacked for three days in a row, losing 2,000 men and horses, but he was unable to break through the city pass. His men and horses were firmly held back under the city of Nanzheng. Immobile.
