Chapter 177 - Inside and outside, outwit Zitong.
Let's say that after Wei Yan got the talisman, he went straight to his camp.
When the master saw that Wei Yan was back, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Marshal, how is the matter of garrisoning Zitong?" ”
Wei Yan sighed and said, "It's done at this time!" It's a pity that Zhao Tuo's old thief still doesn't dare to trust me fully, and he sent Zhao Guangyi to go with him. ”
"That's a pity! But it's a great opportunity for us!" After listening to the book, he said with some regret.
"Hmmm! I'm going to draft the paperwork right now and find someone to deliver it to the defenders in the city. This is also good for Liu Xiu to prepare! ”
After that, Wei Yandang drafted the documents, wrote everything in the documents, and then asked his cronies to send them to the city in person.
Liu Xiu was also overjoyed after receiving Wei Yanxin. It turned out that Wei Yan told all the things about the Qin army in the letter, explained the pros and cons, and planned to cooperate with Liu Xiuli and take Zitong.
After Liu Xiu learned about it, he drafted a document for Ma Yuan, who was stationed in Brazil. Then he wrote back to Wei Yan and agreed on a date to do it.
…………
A few days later.
I saw that the civil war drums of the Qin army shook the sky, and the sound of shouting and killing soared into the sky. The Qin army launched another attack on Lixian.
Liu Xiu, who was standing on the city wall and commanding the battle, looked at the Qin army that was like a tide coming, and even ordered the Han army to resist the enemy with all his might.
Just as the vanguard of the Qin army rushed under the city wall, a group of soldiers armed with crossbow arrows suddenly appeared in the Qin army. The crossbows held by that group of Qin soldiers were extraordinary. And all of them stood outside the range of the Han army's bows and arrows.
Liu Xiu looked fixedly, then nodded, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that what Wei Yan said is true!" Be careful!"
Then I just listened to "Whoosh! With a bang, I saw dozens of feather arrows shooting towards the iron tree of the city wall at high speed.
Immediately, there was only a "poof", and several iron trees on the city wall were blocked. After the Qin army repeated this several times, the iron trees on the city wall were all blocked.
Immediately, Zhao Tuo gave an order, and the Qin army began to climb the wall.
And Liu Xiu looked at Qin Jun's new crossbow so well, and couldn't help but shrink his pupils. Hurriedly ordered to transport all the gold juice, rolling stones and other defending utensils in the city to the city tower, and make every effort to stop the attack of the Qin army.
…………
Just when the Qin army was attacking Lixian with all its might, the Han army had already occupied Zitong with both inside and outside! Zhao Guangyi, who was sent by Zhao Tuo to monitor Wei Yan, was also like a lost dog at this moment, taking advantage of the chaos and desertion.
"Hahaha! Marshal Wei, I have admired the name for a long time! "After the horse aid entered the city, he even gave up.
Wei Yan sighed and said: "General Ma, don't be embarrassed, I should have surrendered to Qin as a traitor, where can I still be called a marshal?" ”
"Alas! Marshal Wei's words are wrong, and the reason why Marshal Wei surrendered to the Qin army was out of helplessness. If it weren't for you, Marshal Wei, we wouldn't have been able to take Zitong at all. Maybe even Hanshou will be lost!
Marshal Wei can rest assured, this time our army can take Zitong, Marshal Wei should be the first credit! When the time comes, the young master will definitely take credit for you! And for you to rehabilitate this infamy! Ma Yuan said solemnly.
"Alas! The reputation is good, but the deceased is difficult to be reborn! Pity Chen Gong is loyal ......", thinking of Chen Gong, Wei Yan was once again clearly grief-stricken.
"Marshal Wei, let him come over in the past! Next, what we can do may be to take off the head of Zhao Tuo's old thief and sacrifice the life of Gongtai! ”
Ma Yuan naturally heard that Chen Gongning was unyielding to death, so he was killed headlong. I also admired Chen Gong's loyalty in my heart.
After all, Chen Gong, as a civil official, can achieve the spirit of a military general who sees death as home, which is really rare.
"Marshal Wei, now the young master's side is afraid that it has entered a bitter battle. Although General Feng had already led troops to support, he was still not at ease. So I'm going to support the young master! I wonder what the marshal thinks? ”
"Hmmm! What General Ma said is reasonable! I have a plan, but I don't know if it's feasible! ”
"Marshal Wei, but it doesn't hurt to say it! Listen to someone! ”
"Good! Now there are more than 50,000 troops with you. It is better to leave 10,000 horses and garrison Zitong.
Now, although Zhao Guangyi has escaped from the city, I guess he will definitely go to the Qin army camp first and tell Zhao Tuo about the loss of Zitong.
You and I each have 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers are divided into two routes. You go to support Marshal Liu, and I will go to the Sword Pavilion to open the city gate!" If you can take the Sword Pavilion, then you can drive the Qin army out of Brazil in one fell swoop! Wei Yandang even said his plan.
"Good! Just according to the words of Marshal Wei! Ma Yuan listened to it and immediately responded to the case.
The two of them said that after leaving 10,000 horses to guard Zitong, they divided their troops into two routes, one to the Sword Pavilion, and the other to the north to support Lixian.
…………
However, it was said that Zhao Guangyi, who fled from Zitong City, led the few hundred remaining remnants of his soldiers to flee for more than 40 miles in a row, until the sky was getting dark, and then he went to Yipo Village to rest.
"! Wei Yan, this dog thief, really dares to rebel! This revenge is not a gentleman! Sooner or later, take his dog's head! Zhao Guangyi, supported by the deputy general, sat down against a big tree, and then scolded Wei Yan.
When the adjutant general on the side heard this, he said: "The general must not be angry, the most important thing now is to tell the king the news, otherwise, I am afraid that we will suffer from the enemy!" ”
Zhao Guangyi took a sip of water, and his anger disappeared temporarily.
"Hmmm! You're right! This matter must be reported to my brother as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm afraid that this Han army will beat the stick! ”
Zhao Guangyi's words had just fallen, but he saw a scout rushing forward.
"Report! General, a large number of cavalry have been found in front of you, and they are approaching the village! ”
"What?! Could it be the cavalry of the Han army? Can you see what kind of banner is being played? Zhao Guangyi listened to the words of the scout, and immediately looked up to the sky and cried bitterly.
"General, because it's too dark, the little one can't see the banner clearly......" The scout immediately cowered.
"It's over! Heaven will die for me! When Zhao Guangyi heard this, even if he felt that nine times out of ten he was the pursuer of the Han army, he immediately looked up to the sky and complained.
Seeing this, the adjutant general on the side immediately bowed his hand and said, "Don't worry, general!" It is not yet certain whether the cavalry in front is the soldiers and horses of the Han army.
If the Han army pursues the soldiers, the little one will take the remaining brothers to block it and cover the general's withdrawal! ”
Only then did Zhao Guangyi stop his voice, hold the adjutant general's hand tightly and said: "Don't worry, general, if the general dies in battle, Guangyi will take care of the future affairs of the family for you!" ”
"Good! It is enough to have a general! ”
After saying that, the adjutant general immediately got up and ordered his troops, went to the village to ambush, and waited for the cavalry in front to arrive.
After a while, I saw a large group of people and horses carrying torches into the village at the entrance of the village.
The lieutenant general saw that there were many people, and immediately ordered the soldiers below to draw their bows and wait for the enemy to approach before engaging them.
Just when the men and horses of the front brigade were only about 100 steps away from the soldiers, the adjutant general finally saw the word "Gongsun" on the military flag, and the cavalry was all white horses under the crotch.
The deputy general knew at a glance that the person who came was Gongsun Zhan's white horse servant. When even Ling jumped out of the wall with the soldiers, he stepped forward to recognize each other.
