Chapter 503: The smoke rises and the reinforcements arrive
For the Han soldiers at the head of the city, the smoke was the arrival of reinforcements, and for them, reinforcements were naturally the hope of victory. Or, with your own reinforcements, do you still need to be afraid of the Liangzhou army?
Therefore, Wen Ping continued to shout, "Brothers, our reinforcements are coming, kill me, the victory is ours!" ”
Ma Dai looked at it and frowned, he knew that today was the end of the day. This party has clearly guarded against Wei Yan, but this Wei Yan still has a way, which is really not to be underestimated.
Ma Dai was helpless and shouted to the soldiers, "The whole army retreats!" ”
The morale of the other party is high, even if their own soldiers come up, but when they see the smoke in the distance, their morale has dropped. This is definitely not what Ma Dai wants to see, so he made a quick decision and withdrew directly with his people.
Wen Ping didn't chase after him, after all, he also knew that it was useless, so let's clean up the city, and then think about what happened next-
When the smoke rose, Ma Chao also found out, but it was not he who discovered it first, but Guo Jia, he just inadvertently turned his head and found out about the situation.
"Lord, look, it seems that today's war ......"
As soon as Ma Chao heard Guo Jia's words, he looked back, and he immediately understood, it seems that today is really timeless. God doesn't give himself a chance, although he doesn't expect to break the city today, but this is too, too little to give himself face. This Wei Yan is obvious. He didn't let him deliver the message, but he used another method. Notified the clerk of the head of Lingyang City.
Guo Jia smiled bitterly at his lord, "Lord." It seems that this Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang are indeed not easy to deal with, and we have to be cautious and cautious in the confrontation between our army and others! ”
When Ma Chao heard this, he couldn't help nodding, and Guo Jia said again at this time: "Lord, this Bozhan general has already led the troops down, and the morale of my sergeants is not good, so it is better to retire early!" ”——
Ma Chao was helpless. He could only command the soldiers: "Mingjin, collect the troops!" ”
"No!"
Not only Ma Chao, but even the generals and many Liangzhou soldiers and soldiers saw the smoke behind them, although they were not close, but it was not difficult to think of anything. If you can't even think of this, then don't mix up in the Liangzhou army. Ma Dai came back with his troops, Ma Chao greeted him, and everyone retreated.
Seeing Ma Chao retreating, the head of Lingyang City erupted in cheers. "The enemy has withdrawn!"
"Liangzhou dog has retreated!"
……
Wen Ping clenched his right fist and slammed the battlement of the city wall, saying in his heart that he was finally gone, otherwise. I don't know how many casualties I will have yet, but the news of this reinforcement came quite timely, fortunately-
Ma Chao took everyone back to the camp. As a result, Cui An and Fei Yi of the camp saw that their lord had returned with his people, and they also thought of the smoke before. Obviously, because the other side knew that their reinforcements were coming. Under the situation of high morale of the Han army, he naturally did not get any bargains.
And they entered the tent and sat down. Ma Dai said angrily: "Lord, if it weren't for that Wei Yan lighting up the smoke and raising the morale of the guards at the head of the city, our army would not have been repulsed so quickly!" ”
Ma Chao smiled when he heard this, "Bozhan, don't complain." The situation on the battlefield is inherently changeable and ever-changing, and this is not an uncommon thing, something that cannot happen. So what I mean is that today's defeat of our army in three battles is not a bad thing, at least let me and everyone understand that even if it was a little advantageous before, it is likely to be fleeting, and this can be regarded as our army's 'eating a trench and growing a wisdom'! ”
At this time, everyone said in unison: "We will obey the words of the lord!" ”——
Ma Chao nodded at everyone, to be honest, this is what he didn't expect before. However, although I didn't expect this, it didn't bring much harm to my side after all, which is good. And it can be said that you have learned some lessons, which is not bad.
Later, someone said, since Wei Yan notified the Wenren of Lingyang City, does that mean that his people are going to take other actions? Ma Chao smiled, "If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move." I want to see what Wei Yan wants. In fact, what I'm thinking about now is Wen Ping, what kind of thoughts does he have at this moment, what do you think? ”
In the eyes of everyone, this Wen Ping already knew that their reinforcements had arrived, so under normal circumstances, he should have taken some measures, after all, he couldn't let the reinforcements come in vain. But judging from the current situation, what will he do, at most he will talk to their guards, and it will be over, does he really dare to break the kettle and fight hard with his own side?
It's not that his own people look down on him, at least judging from the current situation, they haven't reached the point where the mountain is exhausted-
Wei Yan had already ordered his soldiers to cut down tree branches, but although the soldiers didn't understand why his general was like this, the military order could not be violated, so they all went.
In fact, Wei Yan just wanted to prepare enough things to ignite the fire, if he had wolf dung or something, then it would be better to light the wolf smoke directly than anything else. But it's a pity that there is none, after all, Wei Yan is marching and fighting, he really didn't prepare wolf dung and these things, but he took local materials, and there was only a breeze today. It didn't rain on a sunny day, so there was no problem with ignition. After pouring oil, as long as there are enough branches. So are you still worried that there is no fire?
When the branches were almost ready, the soldiers came to report: "Report to the general, our army has prepared all the branches, and ask the general to order!" ”
Wei Yan nodded, and then said, "Okay, order everyone to pile up the branches, it's almost ...... Can! ”
When the soldiers heard this, this general lit a fire, this height. The branches were going to be half-piled up in the end, and they were going to have to pour oil—
The soldiers did not dare to slack off, and went down to give orders. After seeing the soldier leave, Wei Yan felt that he had to go out to have a look, so he personally went out of the big tent. Although the place where the fire was ignited was far away from the big camp, Wei Yan was still not at ease. Even if there is only a breeze today, if people want to be able to control water and fire, there will not be so many disasters. It's a flood again, and it's a water walk.
When Wei Yan came out of the big tent and then out of the big camp, he didn't go far when he saw his soldiers piling up branches. Looks like we're almost done.
When Wei Yan approached, the soldier gave Wei Yan a salute, "General! ”
Wei Yan nodded. said to the soldiers, "Today, the Liangzhou army is blocking my passage. But it didn't bother me. Let you light the fire in order to inform the Wenpin generals in Zero Yang City. Tell him we're here! ”
At this time, a soldier was busy patting his ass, "The general's brilliant idea will definitely surprise the Liangzhou army that is still attacking at this time!" ”
Knowing that the soldier was deliberately sneaking himself, but Wei Yan still liked to listen to this, he nodded again and again-
To say that there are a few people who don't like to listen to good words, especially Wei Yan now, who is not so old, just in his twenties, so it is true, in the praise of the other party, although it is not impossible to find the north, but it is indeed very proud. The heart said, it has to be himself, if he tries another person, he may not have such a good idea of his own! This own lord let himself lead the troops, so that's right, the others, okay? Hehe......
Not to mention that Wei Yan was complacent here, just to say that after the soldiers had already piled up the branches, they poured oil on them, and then everyone retreated, and finally threw the torches in their hands directly to the pile of branches.
At this time, Wei Yan looked at the burning pile of branches, he smiled slightly, and said in his heart, burn, burn, in this way, even if the distance is farther, Wen Ping will notice it. After all, Wen Ping is not an ordinary general, not to mention so much and such a big smoke, even if there is a trace of wrong, the other party can definitely see it, and can also know what is going on here. If it is said that Wei Yan may not necessarily have so much confidence in others, but for Wen Ping, then he does have-
The soldier next to him said to Wei Yan with a smile: "General, it's done at this time!" Compared to General Wen seeing such thick smoke, he will definitely know about the situation on our side! ”
Wei Yan nodded with a smile, "That's a good point, but you wait until these branches are burned, and it's not too late for you to put out the fire, it's better to let it burn for a while!" ”
"No!"
"Okay, you guys look at it a little more, it's incomparably good to control the fire, there must be no mistakes!"
"No! And rest assured general! ”
"Good! If there is anything, go to the big tent to report, I'll go back first! ”
"Congratulations to the General!" The soldiers shouted.
If you want to say that Wei Yan, he is indeed not the leisure to watch the fire here. He was mainly thinking about Ma Chao's Liangzhou Army, so he went back to the big tent first-
"It's all good for me, it's incomparably controllable! Don't let the general go, you will be slack, you know no! ”
"No!"
This can be regarded as "there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is the overlord", as soon as Wei Yan left, he walked away, of course, he was the biggest official position of the small leader, so he was instructed by his own general before, and at this time he could also have a good time and instruct others. But the soldiers still have to eat this set, after all, the general has left, so you can only listen to the leader, otherwise, do you want to do the opposite?
Wei Yan didn't hear anything, but even if he did, he would just laugh. At this time he went back to the camp and returned to his big tent. He really didn't like to watch the fire there, and at that hour, it was better to go back to the big tent by himself to be quiet.
It's not that Wei Yan prefers to be quiet, the main thing is that this is in a quiet place, which is indeed more able to make him think about the problem clearly, which is very important-
He knew that he had released such a thick smoke, and of course Wen Ping knew everything. He may not know who brought the troops to Lingyang, but he must know that his own reinforcements have arrived. As for why he used this method to inform him, it was not difficult for him to think of it, after all, Wen Ping was more or less a capable person, and if someone else said it, it might not work, but he hired Wen Zhongye, Wei Yan knew that there was indeed no problem.
If it weren't for that, he wouldn't be enough for his lord to value him so much. This Lingyang is definitely an important county for your side, and this Lingyang City is even more important to your side, so there is no need to say more.
But at this time, although Wei Yan knew that he had notified Wen Ping, and he also knew the situation on his side, how did he do it, this was a problem.
So at this time, Wei Yan couldn't help but say to himself: "What should I do?" The Liangzhou Army is not easy to deal with, this Ma Mengqi is a figure in the world, this ......"——
After thinking about it for a while, Wei Yan felt that his current method could only be to take one step at a time, and the other party didn't move, did he want to see how he was? He felt that this thing was really, not impossible, but very possible.
But think about it, what else do you want to see them? How do they look at themselves? It would be interesting if both sides were to stand still. But what will happen to him?
Still, Wei Yan wouldn't think that Wen Ping was going to break the net, but maybe if he took action, it would be time for him and the Liangzhou Army to act! (To be continued......)
