Volume 6 The Heroes Compete Chapter 21 To Each His Own Thing

"Dangdangdang" The stormy sound of the police gong sounded from the tall city wall of Yiwu, and the continuous ear-blasting noise suddenly tightened the heartstrings of all the soldiers defending the city.

"Ten miles due north! Suspected cavalry! On the towering watchtower, an officer in charge of the lookout leaned down and shouted hoarsely downward.

The Wuwu is as high as seven zhang, compared to Luoyang, Chang'an and other heroic cities in the world, there are also more than that, the city wall rises four zhang high watchtower again, there is the appearance of towering into the clouds. At this height, an experienced scout was indeed capable of perceiving visions from miles or even tens of miles away from the endless Guanzhong Plain.

In the thunder of the footsteps, a group of Xiliang sergeants rushed up along the road like a tide, and they did not have the panic and fear of rushing to the battle, but they were all excited and overflowing, and their mouths let out a sky-shattering "ho ho" scream. The courage of the Xiliang army is good at fighting, and it is indeed worthy of its name.

"Silence! What's the mess? With a loud shout of no anger and self-righteousness, the dense soldiers like ants suddenly flashed out of a passageway, revealing a great future with a cloak on his shoulder.

His long, slender face was as calm as a knife, and his shining eyes swept over the city, and all the soldiers were stunned.

"What is the hostile situation?" The general snorted heavily: "I didn't expect that my Zhangji Town had been guarding Yiwu for less than two months, and a thief army with a short eye would come to attack...... It's so deceitful! ”

"General!" A young general hurried over and shouted: "The enemy army is still ten miles north of the city, and from the watchtower, you can only see dust and sand covering the sky, and the details are still unknown!" ”

The general is Zhang Ji, who has a high reputation in the Xiliang Army under Dong Zhuo, and his status is only below Li Dao and Guo Yan.

"Ridiculous!" He looked at the young general, couldn't help but sink his face, and reprimanded: "Zhang Xiu, you are in charge of the scout, why does the enemy army not see the scout report until ten miles outside the city?" Even if you are the general's own nephew, you will be punished for a great crime of negligence and dereliction of duty! ”

A wry smile appeared on Zhang Xiu's delicate face. He walked a few more steps to Zhang Ji's side before he lowered his voice and said, "Uncle, the enemy army is coming from the north, and it must be a large number of cavalry, and none of the scouts sent by my nephew to the north have returned to the city so far...... Don't you understand it today? ”

"What?" Zhang Ji's majestic and straight body suddenly shook violently, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes: "You mean, this group of enemy troops is ......?"

"You can't go wrong!" Zhang Xiu turned around, looked at the north side by side with Zhang Ji, and said lightly: "Only they will be familiar with the tactics of our army and the laws of the distribution of scouts....... if my nephew is correct." The scouts sent out are already more than lucky! ”

"What do they want to do?" Zhang Ji pressed his hands against the female wall, and his white knuckles fully exposed the anger in his heart: "Do you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge so soon?" ”

"That's to be expected!" Zhang Xiu shook his head gloomily: "Dong Gong has been defeated repeatedly, and he was forced to huddle in the area of Chang'an, which has become an obstacle for them to go south....... but I didn't expect this day to come so soon!" ”

"Humph! A bunch of villains! Zhang Ji roared angrily: "Ben Jiang wants to see if they can take Hewu from Ben General!" ”

"Uncle, don't worry!" Zhang Xiu smiled confidently: "The enemy army is in a hurry, and it must lack siege equipment, and my Yiwu city is high and deep, and the armor in the city is complete. There are even 15,000 sons and daughters who are good at fighting, if there is no more than four times the strength, the enemy army can only return with a feather! ”

"Look at this momentum, 30,000 people is a lot!" He pointed to the approaching dust in the distance. Said lightly: "Your method of viewing the formation is far better than that of your nephew, I don't know if this is the case?" ”

"Well said!" Zhang Ji's eyes flashed brightly, and he shouted categorically: "Pass my general order, 10,000 soldiers will immediately defend the city." The 5,000 cavalry gates were on standby, and when the enemy's offensive was slightly defeated, the general would personally lead the troops......"

"General. Big things are not good! A general rushed up to the city panting like an ox and shouted in a panic: "A warning message came from the south of the city, and a large number of enemy troops appeared in the south, but I saw that the heads were like a tide, the spears were like a forest, and I don't know how many soldiers and horses!" ”

"It can't be!" Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu were like lightning strikes at the same time.

In the dust, a huge cavalry army appeared from the boundless black shadows, the neighing of the war horses was mixed with rude nonsense, and the knights in the front row gradually revealed their true faces, but most of them were bearded riders with long hair and scattered shoulders or shaved half of their scalps, all with fierce faces and fierce eyes, like ghosts stepping out of the netherworld.

"Drink!" As one of the cavalrymen raised his head and let out a long roar, the whole cavalry gradually slowed down and gradually converged from the chaotic marching formation into a relatively neat phalanx.

Suddenly, the cavalry who had spoken before let out a violent roar again, and tens of thousands of cavalrymen were stationed on their horses, and none of them made a half-word noise. Only the war horse snorted and spewed out a faint white mist.

The sound of hooves sounded from the passage between the battle formations, and the two horsemen paced slowly.

"Is this the Dock? A small city of projectiles is so tall! The knight on the left in civil attire stared at the towering city in the distance, and suddenly smiled dumbly: "Dong Zhongying is indeed old...... is so old that he is already greedy for life and afraid of death! ”

The majestic-looking general on the right just said a faint "En", but he was expressionless.

"General Pang, please use your troops!" The civil official looked a little excited: "Xia Guan was fortunate to participate in the Luoyang War with General Han that day, but he was unknown at that time, and he was very helpless. This time is different from the past, if our Xiliang Army can conquer this dock, it will be a heavy blow to the Dong thief who plotted rebellion and rebellion, and he can be rehabilitated in one fell swoop! ”

"With soldiers?" General Pang's face finally moved, revealing a strange look, he turned his head sideways, and said in surprise: "Isn't this general already using soldiers?" ”

"What did the general say?" The civil official almost fell off his horse, and he said with a sluggish expression: "Shouldn't the general arrange his troops and prepare siege equipment?" ”

"Do our troops have siege engines?" The look of surprise on General Pang's face was even stronger: "Mr. Yan Zhong, you and I came together, in addition to the 20,000 cavalry in our army, have you ever seen a siege machine?" ”

"It's really not ......." Yan Zhong almost scratched his head, he smiled bitterly: "When General Ma Yunluo attacked Luoyang that day, he also drove straight into Luoyang, but hundreds of siege equipment were hidden in the various dock walls around Luoyang in advance.......

"It's a pity! There are no dock walls near the dock! General Na Pang said slowly: "So, this plan doesn't work!" ”

"So, how does the general plan to act?" Yan Zhong finally came to his senses, and he spread his hands and said, "The subordinate officials are good at political affairs, but they don't know anything about using soldiers. Please also ask the general for advice! ”

General Na Pang smiled slightly: "If Mr. is the defender of this city, what will happen if he sees the enemy soldiers approaching the city?" ”

"Hold on to help, of course!" That Yan Zhong said without hesitation: "The enemy is strong and I am weak, and rushing to battle is the next strategy!" ”

"Not bad! It's too risky to play, and it's even more short! A flash of fierceness flashed in General Pang's eyes: "But blindly defending will only mess up the morale of the army, so they will definitely ask for help......."

As soon as the words fell, a thick black smoke from above the dock soared into the sky, and an officer not far away shouted: "Wolf smoke! ”

General Pang slowly turned his face, stared at Yan Zhong with a stunned expression and smiled, "Now, we just need to wait for ......."

He suddenly shook his hand. A thick and dark iron spear magically appeared in his hand, and the low trilling sound of the "buzzing" of the spear tip seemed to echo in his ears endlessly.

"I heard that Li Dao and Guo Yan are both masters in the world, I don't know which person's blood will be drunk first with this spear?" With the spear in hand, General Pang's whole person suddenly looked like a sharp sword shining out of the sheath, exuding a monstrous killing intent: "If you can wait until Lu Fengxian?" Ha ha! That's one of life's great joys! ”

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" There was a sudden confusion in the front army, and all the troops got out of the way.

"100,000 urgent military information, report to General Pound!" A horseman flew half-crouched on his horse.

Pound's pupils suddenly shrunk....... he could clearly see that the scout cavalry was on his shoulder. A black arrow feather trembled.

"What's going on?" Seeing the distorted and painful look on the cavalryman's face, Pang De and Yan Zhong had a bad premonition in their hearts at the same time.

"The subordinates and other five people patrolled the surroundings of Yiwu, and accidentally encountered an ambush ......" The cavalryman pressed one hand on his shoulder and shouted wildly: "The south of Yiwu has been surrounded by an unidentified army. At least tens of thousands! ”

Pang De and Yan Zhong changed color at the same time.

At the south gate of Yiwu, the soldiers of the Dong Army were looking at the scene in the distance with numb scalps. Even though they were battle-hardened soldiers, they were stunned by the strange scene in front of them.

In the vast field, one huge phalanx after another of foot riders was rapidly arranged. The sheer size of tens of thousands of troops did not frighten Dong Jun. The key lies in their composition.......

"Look, those cavalry on the enemy's right flank, those people are definitely Qiang!

"That's not right! The phalanx on the side of the cavalry was...... Han Army? ”

"Who are those who wear light armor without helmets? It's very similar to the soldiers under General Lu Bu! ”

"Your grandma's. That's a plate shield barbarian! Lao Tzu has fought with them before! ”

A Dong Jun general looked at the phalanx in the middle of the phalanx in amazement, those soldiers were all dressed in black armor regardless of their foot, and a huge horn with a hideous curve was erected on each side of the solid and heavy helmet, which was daunting and unheard of.

"Oh my God! How did these centaurs get together? Who did Dong Gong offend? He screamed almost in a ** tone.

"Quick! Faster! As the high-speed train galloped through the formation, he yelled at the fortifiers who were sweating profusely and were assembling trebuchets: "The military advisor has an order!" Those who can't complete the task within the specified time will be expelled from the military and go home with their children! ”

"Iron! You're too ruthless! The disgraced Zhang Xian grabbed the reins of the high-speed railway, and shouted indignantly: "Not to mention the forced march overnight, even our speed in front of us is far beyond the level of training, so it is still slow?" You've let the people who didn't let us live in the camp! ”

"Cut! If you have the ability, you can keep this to the lord! The high-speed rail smacked hard: "Don't say I didn't remind you....... I heard that the lord has arrived in Chang'an!" ”

Looking at the high-speed train that was gone, Zhang Xian stayed for a long time, and suddenly kicked an officer next to him in the buttocks, and he shouted wildly: "Boys, you have done my best!" Whoever dares to disgrace me in front of the lord will never spare you! ”

"Not bad!" Looking at the group of trebuchets that were rising a little bit, Cheng Yu nodded: "I really didn't expect that although Xiao Ma Jun is far away in the Bohai Sea, the apprentice Zhang Xian taught by this sect can actually stand alone!" ”

"Hey, hey!" Some of the generals behind him smiled proudly: "Of course, the Bohai Navy is only a branch of our Eagle's Nest Army!" ”

"Strategist!" Su Fei came on foot and gave a salute: "Our army rangers have successively cleared the twelve scouts of the Dong Army and the Xiliang Army, and only one of the Xiliang Army scouts has slipped through the net!" ”

He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The last general is worried that it will cause the Xiliang army to divide troops to attack, which will affect our army's siege plan!" ”

"It's okay!" Cheng Yu said lightly: "Whether it is the Dong army or the Xiliang army, they are both enemies and not friends, although the main bus has been stayed, try not to fight with the Xiliang army head-on, but ....... if they take the initiative to provoke themselves, then this army division would like to expand the results!" ”

One general was overjoyed and said: "The military advisor is wise! The lord once taught us the tactics of restraining cavalry on the plains, did you test the long-range strike ability of our army's trebuchets? ”

"You kid wants to ask for your own hardship, don't bother us!" The high-speed rail turned over and dismounted, glaring and said, "Don't you know?" The future housewife is from the Xiliang Army! ”

He saluted Cheng Yu and said, "Strategist, the trebuchet can be used in a moment!" The scouts have also returned, and the Xiliang army is still in formation north of Yiwu, but there is no sign of attacking or dividing the troops! ”

"He hits him, I hit mine!" Cheng Yu's face was unwavering: "As long as we can attract Chang'an to come to our aid, it will be a great achievement for our army...... Of course, being able to capture Haowu is the icing on the cake! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen! At this moment, the lord is in Chang'an, watching every move of our Eagle's Nest Army! His face turned cold, and he turned to the generals and shouted in a deep voice: "For my Eagle's Nest Army, I will fight for it...... Prepare for war! ”

"Yes!" (To be continued.) )
