Chapter 1373: Swallowing the Sky

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Yan Kingdom took Jicheng as its capital.

The water and grass here in Jicheng are abundant, so it is named after thistle, and now it has become a huge battlefield in the entire Jicheng City.

On the west side of the battlefield are Budugen's troops, and on the east side of the battlefield are the men and horses of Kebineng. The two troops are like two big clamps of crabs, holding Jicheng firmly in the center.

Because they did not receive any resistance, the Xianbei people's troops were scattered, as if they didn't care about Yuan Xihui's surprise attack in Jicheng at all

Yuan Xi gritted his teeth, he really didn't dare to send someone out to sneak attack.

Although the Xianbei Group Army was relatively loose in its attack formation for the entire Jicheng, Yuan Xi, who was stationed in Jicheng, still did not dare to go out of the city to meet the attack easily. After all, after the repeated battles between Youzhou and Jizhou, the consumption of war horses is too great, so that now the number of war horses has decreased sharply, and even Yuan Xi, the Jicheng of Youzhou's assassin history, can't get together many war horses, and only rely on two legs to fight with the Xianbei brigade, for Yuan Xi, there is no such courage.

Yan Rou led a team of Xianbei under the city.

Yan Rou originally inherited Liu Yu's kindness, but Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zhan, Yan Roujue did not have enough strength to avenge Gongsun Zhan, so he turned to seek the power of the Wuhuan people he was familiar with, and the Wuhuan people this time, they also followed Xianbei Kirby to march together, Yan Rou naturally had no good choice, so he could only come with him.

It's just that Yan Rou found that there were actually different factions among the Xianbei people

This may also be an opportunity.

However, let's get past the current hurdle first

Yan Rou flew up, quickly climbed the ladder, and then on the side of his body, let the spear stabbed by a city defender, and slashed it off the city wall with a knife.

Seeing that Yan Rou had already climbed the city wall, the Xianbei people under the city suddenly let out a fanatical shout, braving the arrows and rolling stones of the Jicheng defenders like a tide, eagerly climbing the ladder, trying to climb over the city wall as quickly as possible, just like knowing that the other party's husband was no longer home with his neighbor Lao Wang

More Xianbei soldiers climbed over the city wall, tearing apart one defender after another, and gradually occupying a long section of the defensive side of the wall.

Yan Rou brandished his battle knife, and after determining the safety of a defensive surface, he did not immediately break through along the city wall, because he knew that this was just a temporary back and forth, and it was not equivalent to directly capturing Jicheng. He also lived and studied here back then, so he naturally knew that Jicheng was not so easy to capture

As for the excited Xianbei soldiers who came with Yan Rou, anyway, today's achievement in ascending the city is indispensable, as for the rest, hehe, it doesn't matter if they live or die

Up and down the city wall, the corpses of soldiers on both sides were lying in various postures, horizontal and vertical, and could be seen everywhere, even the top of the city wall of about three zhang was almost filled with corpses. The ground was covered with a thick layer of blood, and the fluttering snowflakes tried to cover the chaotic colors with their bodies, but they were soon stained red by more blood sprayed everywhere

The soldiers on both sides were like a bunch of madmen who had lost their minds, they were covered in blood, their eyes were wide open, they roared madly, they waved their bloody weapons in their hands, and they rushed up again and again, and died, and they rushed up again, and they died again.

Zhang Nan was like an angry bison at this time, his facial muscles were unusually distorted by hatred, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with scorching flames, this was his hometown, no matter what the reason, he would not allow the Xianbei people to touch here.

"Kill" Zhang Nan waved his knife and roared, fighting fiercely at the forefront of the battlefield, blocking the impact of the Xianbei soldiers.

Jiao Touch, with his reinforced soldiers, rushed up the city wall from the gallop.

"Formation, formation, formation" Jiao Touch shouted loudly as he commanded his soldiers to quickly counterattack towards the area that had already been captured by the Xianbei soldiers.

In front of the arrayed guards, the chaotic Xianbei soldiers were like a tide on the rocks, although they pushed some small stones, but they could not shake the solid reef, and could only leave some blood-colored sprays behind, and retreated

"Woohoo"

With the defeat of this wave of Xianbei people, the city finally sounded the horn of collecting troops, and the low sound of bull horns spread throughout the four fields, and it seemed that they were also tired to tell that the siege of this day had come to an end.

The guards on the city wall killed the last Xianbei soldier, and then raised their blades in unison, shouting loudly, venting their heartfelt happiness that at least for this day, they survived again.

Han Yan panted and walked into the hall of the palace in Jicheng, and said loudly: "Envoy, we have guarded it, we have guarded it, Xianbei has withdrawn."

Yuan Xi exhaled slightly, put down the pen in his hand, and moved his fingers, which were already a little stiff. The pen and ink had already frozen, and there were not a few words written on the paper on the table, Yuan Xi put on this gesture, just to show that he could also talk and laugh freely between the soldiers like his father.

"How about the damage" Yuan Xi motioned for Han Yan to sit down and asked.

"Captain Zhang is counting, and it will be reported soon." Han Yan arched his hand and said, "It is the blessing of Youzhou to make Jun lift weights lightly and calmly."

Yuan Xi waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is not a matter of severe cold weather, and the food and clothing of the soldiers at the head of the city still need to be bothered by Zi Peiduo."

Han Yan nodded and said, "This is the position of a subordinate official, please rest assured." ”

Not long after, Zhang Nan also came over, with a bloody stain.

"How about the loss today" Yuan Xi didn't mind the dirt on Zhang Nan's body, but stepped forward to greet him personally, and then took Zhang Nan's arm and asked softly.

Zhang Nan was a little moved when he saw that Yuan Xi did not dislike his bloodstains, but when he thought of today's tragedy, he couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "Back to the envoy, Yan Gongcao lost nearly 100 sons and daughters in battle, and more than 20 people were seriously injured, I'm afraid I can't survive."

Yuan Xi was silent for a long time before letting out a long sigh.

"Over the past few days, we have lost more than 700 people. In addition, the West Gate and the East Gate suffered the most losses, and I saw the Xianbei people and horses seem to be moving south," Zhang Nan frowned and said with some uneasiness.

Han Yan's face changed greatly, and he shouted loudly: "What does Xianbei want to do, it is to cross Jicheng and go south."

Zhang Nan hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "Could it be that General Yuan has come to help."

Unlike Ji County, after Yuan Xi came to Jicheng, he was busy with the industry left by Gongsun Zhan, so the Xianbei people easily obtained a large number of materials in the rest of the surrounding counties and townships, and these materials naturally ensured that although under the severe cold, the Xianbei people could still sleep in the wild without fear, and Jicheng could only be hard to defend.

Yuan Xi was happy at first, and then quickly turned worried, and said: "If it is really reinforcements, I am afraid that the Xianbei people have long been preparing to retreat, and now it seems that it is more like going south to plunder the surroundings."

Zhang Nan lowered his head and did not speak.

"It's okay" Yuan Xi smiled reluctantly and said, "The reinforcements are expected to be almost coming, and we are still relying on the two of us to work together to tide over the difficulties."

Han Yan and Zhang Nan hurriedly surrendered, and then retreated.

Out of the lobby, Zhang Nan arched his hand towards Han Yan, and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Han Yan and said, "How is Captain Jiao?"

Jiao Touch was not injured, but his hometown was located in Liangxiang in the south of Jicheng, where the city was small and the defense was weak, of course, it was not necessarily immediately captured by the Xianbei people, but it was inevitable that he would encounter some disasters

Zhang Nan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Han Yan was silent for a moment, patted Zhang Nan's arm, and sighed. They don't have too many choices, do they?

"Jicheng is a bait, and this bait must be hung on the hook before the prey comes," Kebineng said with a little slurred as he gnawed on a leg of lamb while waving his greasy hand.

Fu Luohan said with some dissatisfaction: "There are not many defenders in Jicheng, and the brave generals under my command who can be captured a long time ago have already boarded the city twice, but the follow-up troops are not enough I said Youxian King, isn't this a waste of our sons?"

Kebi Neng glanced at Yan Rou, who was munching down below, laughed and pointed at Yan Rou, and shouted: "How can I treat the warriors badly, and then take some wine and meat to pick two beautiful Han women and send them to the tent for the warriors."

Fu Luo Han's face changed, and he turned his head to glare at Yan Rou.

Yan Rou pretended not to know, and immediately stroked her chest and saluted: "Thank you to the right virtuous king"

Suddenly, a group of middle and high-level Xianbei people all congratulated Yan Rou one after another, and the laughter and noise continued for a while.

Fu Luohan made a straight face, picked up the wine bowl and drank a few sips, and barely turned his face around.

"Hahaha" Kebineng laughed, squinted his eyes, and glanced at Fu Luohan slightly, quite disdainful in his heart. Money and women are all pulled into their tents, and they need to be rewarded when they should be rewarded, otherwise no matter how many lowly warriors there are, they will all be centrifugal

"Look at this kind of weather, the snow will get heavier and heavier" Fu Luo Han temporarily counted Yan Rou in the small notebook, and said to Kebineng, "If this goes down like this again, be careful to drag it out and get trouble."

"Don't worry" Kebi can smile, but there is a hint of murder in his eyes, "The prey will take the bait, do you know what to do when the wolves on the grassland hunt bison?"

Kebi can hold the meat and bones of the leg of mutton in the air and draw a circle, and said: "The bison will form a circle, the horns are facing outward, at this time it is like this Jicheng in front of you, it is not impossible to fight down, but it will consume a lot so you have to keep turning in circles, and then wait for the herd to move, as long as the herd moves, there will definitely be flaws."

Fu Luohan still didn't believe in Kebineng's words, and said, "How can you be sure that reinforcements will come, if they don't come, or if they don't come here, they will make a detour behind us?"

Kebineng threw the sheep bone in his hand to the mastiff lying on the side, stroked the mastiff's head twice, and said: "There is the son of the Han general in the city, so the Han people will definitely send troops to rescue."

"The Han people are very cunning," Fu Luo Han shook his head and said, "I heard that the Han general has several sons, and there is only one son here, and the Han people should also know that if they come to help, they are likely to be attacked by us, so how can they be sent here obediently according to your ideas, if it is me, anyway, it is snowing now, and it is cold in the wild, so you just need to keep it tightly, so that even if we finally defeat Jicheng, we may not have time to fight other places."

Kebi Neng waved his hand and said: "The Han people are different, they attach great importance to their heirs, so they must come back, don't worry, even if you can only take Jicheng in the end, the things collected in the surrounding area during this time are enough for us to spend the winter comfortably, isn't it that the things and women in your tent can't fit it."

"Hahaha" Fu Luo Han raised his head and laughed, "Who would dislike the lack of wealth and women, it must not be a man, I mean, if the Han reinforcements don't come, we can also divide more teams to go out and go to the surrounding areas to find other villages and towns"

Kebineng pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "It can't be dispersed, these sons and daughters must be kept, in case the reinforcements of the Han people come, and our sons and daughters are all outside, it will not be a matter of goods at that time."

Fu Luo Han frowned, glanced at Ke Bineng, and frowned very unpleasantly. He was looking at the face of the coalition army, so he came over to discuss it with Kebineng, and the result was good, Kebineng didn't agree with this, and he couldn't do that, and he didn't give face at all, which made Fu Luohan's face hang.

Kebineng glanced at Fu Luohan, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, after defeating Jicheng, all the items harvested in the city, let you pick one percent first."

"Two percent" Fu Luo Han stretched out two fingers and immediately said categorically.

Kebineng shook his head and said: "No, let you take it all, what to do with the rest of the sons can only be half at most"

"Hmm" Fu Luo Han pondered for a moment, and finally agreed, and this is the only way to laugh, "Okay, one and a half is one and a half"

Because Jicheng has not been breached after all, it is impossible for the wine banquet to be completely drunk, which means that after Kebi can send Fu Luohan away, he said to his guard's henchman: "It's not right to send it to the woman who is called something, what is that person called, cured meat"

"Haha" The guard couldn't hold back, haha laughed, "It's not cured meat, it's that Yan Rou hasn't sent it yet, I said king, just give two of them, and give the two good boys that blessing?"

Kebi turned his face, slapped the back of the guard's head with a "snap", and said, "Damn, if you want to send it, what is there to chirp crookedly"

"It's not the king, I mean, it means that the kid is a Wuhuan man," the guard quickly explained.

"I know he's a Wuhuan man, but what's wrong with the Wuhuan people, you can beat him" Kebi can kick the guard's ass, "Get out, don't listen to Lao Tzu, be careful that Lao Tzu picks your skin, when the time comes, your sister doesn't need to remember when she cries, we are the ones who want to do big things, don't be fucking petty, like anyone"

When the guard saw that Kebineng had made up his mind, he answered, turned around and went out.

Kebineng crossed his waist, glanced at Jicheng in the distance, and then at Fu Luohan's camp on the other side, smiled coldly, and then looked up at the sky, and after being silent for a long time, he sent out a puff of white smoke towards the sky, watching the white smoke gradually mix with scattered snowflakes and gradually dissipate.

Kebi can be huge, with a stiff beard, and he stands with his waist crossed and opens his mouth to the sky, making people feel like a gluttonous squatting on the ground, revealing a bloody mouth ready to swallow the sky
