Chapter 30: Yan Xiao is hit by an arrow
Yu Moyuan and You Zhisheng fought for more than 100 rounds, but they still didn't win or lose. Shangguan looked at it and said to Huangfu Sui: "This thief's marksmanship is also very good, and it is not easy for the prince to win against him." ”
Huangfu Sui saw that Yu Moyuan had not yet won, and he was very anxious, he picked up the iron bow, mounted the feather arrow, and wanted to shoot You Zhisheng. Shangguan Huang pulled the bow over and said, "You can't let go of the cold arrow!" Hidden arrows hurt people, and victory is not martial. ”
"So what to do?" Huangfu Sui roared.
Shangguan Huang said, "Wait and see." ”
When Yu You's second general fought to the one hundred and eighty rounds, the mounts of both were a little weak, and You Zhisheng said: "Yu Moyuan, let's get off the horse and fight again!" ”
"Good!" Yu Mo dismounted as he spoke.
The second general fought under the horse for dozens of rounds, You Zhisheng was out of breath, and his marksmanship was a little messy; Yu Moyuan also sweated.
Yu Moyuan stabbed You Zhisheng in the throat with a spear, and You Zhisheng grabbed the spear. Yu Moyuan abandoned the spear, pulled out his saber sharply, and stabbed You Zhisheng in the left chest.
"You win, I lose... After speaking, You Zhisheng fell to the ground and died.
"Childe is mighty! Childe is mighty! The Ruizhou army shouted in unison.
Huangfu Sui stepped forward and said, "Big brother, you are really the number one brave general in Ruizhou!" I'll cut off the head of this thief now and send it to Ling Ju'er. ”
"Second brother, you can't, you take someone to carry You Zhisheng's body outside Ling Ju's camp, go now." Yu Moyuan said.
"Big brother, I'll do it."
Ling Ju saw You Zhisheng's corpse, sat down on the ground, and cried loudly, crying while saying: "General You, you have been following me for nearly twenty years, you fought bravely, and you are the first fierce general in our army, why did you die today?" You're my Tiger General! ”
Situ Zhan saw that Ling Ju had been crying bitterly, and persuaded him: "General, don't cry anymore, so as not to hurt your body." ”
The generals also followed and persuaded him, and helped Ling Ju up.
Ling Ju wiped away his tears and ordered: "Prepare a coffin and bury General You." ”
"No!"
Ling Ju gritted his teeth and pulled out his sword, and shouted: "The generals listen to the order, this time General Ben personally led his troops to attack the camp of the Ruizhou Army to avenge General You." ”
"General, you can't risk arrows to attack the enemy camp, in case there is a mistake, who will lead the 100,000 army." Situ Zhan said.
Ling Ju glared at Situ Zhan and ordered: "Soldiers, rush with me and break through the camp of the Ruizhou Army!" ”
When the soldiers heard this, they rushed over with Ling Ju. Situ Zhan sighed and shook his head helplessly.
The soldiers of the Ling army used the big shield to form a battle formation and approached the camp of the Ruizhou army, and Ling Yi led the soldiers to follow closely behind the shield soldiers.
Seeing that the soldiers of the Ling army were approaching, Yu Mo gave an order to the crossbowmen: "Release the arrows!" ”
The soldiers of the Ling army quickly rushed to the camp wall, and the soldiers on both sides stabbed back and forth with spears through the camp wall, and for a time the sound of killing shook the sky and blood flowed like a river.
The Fenwei general Tao Shanliang rushed to the gate of the camp with his elite soldiers, and slammed the camp gate with a striking wood, and Shangguan Huang led the troops to block the camp gate with chariots and stones.
When the sun set, the soldiers of the Ling army still did not attack the camp, and Ling Ji could only order a temporary retreat.
Yu Moyuan looked at the soldiers who had died in battle inside and outside the camp wall, and couldn't help but say, "This battle is really tragic!" ”
Zuoqiu said: "Childe, this has just begun, and the fierce battle is still behind." ”
In the next 20 days, Ling Ju led the army to attack the camp of the Ruizhou army many times, but he did not capture it, and the Ruizhou army attacked Ling's camp at night, and it was also repulsed. The two sides were at loggerheads, with heavy casualties.
Zong Yanxiao learned of the battle in Ruizhou and said to Cen Liangzhi: "Envoy, Ling Ji and the Ruizhou army are inseparable, and now is a good time for us to send troops to attack Yinghui City. ”
Cen Liangzhi asked his brother Cen Liangting: "What does my brother think?" ”
Cen Liangting shook his head and said, "I don't think so." In the battle of Qianmiancheng, our Zhanzhou army also lost 20,000 soldiers, and now we are also short of troops. Although Ling Ju is not in Yinghui City, he left the elite soldiers to defend the city, if we go to attack the city, we will only lose our troops and generals, and we will not be able to capture Yinghui City at all. ”
"This time Ling will definitely divide the victory or defeat with the Ruizhou army, if the eight counties of Ruizhou are captured by Ling, then we are afraid that Zhanzhou will not be able to keep it, it is better to do the army of Zhanzhou, kill Yinghui City, capture the lair of the old thief of Ling, and get rid of this powerful minister for the Son of Heaven." Zong Yanxiao said.
Cen Liangting laughed loudly and said, "Gongzi Zong, you persuaded Jun to send troops, do you want to relieve the siege for your senior brother Yu Moyuan?" ”
"I have this intention, and I am more important for the sake of the envoy and for the sake of Zhanzhou!"
Cen Liangzhi thought for a while and said, "Yan Xiao, you lead an army of 60,000 to attack Yinghui City, it is best to capture it, and if the battle is unfavorable, you will retreat." ”
"The last general obeys!"
When Tai Shi Sheng, the general of the chariot cavalry, heard that Zong Yanxiao was leading the army to kill, he hurriedly summoned everyone to discuss the war.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the general is fighting outside, he will definitely not send reinforcements back, and the defense of this capital can only rely on ourselves." Tai Shisheng said.
Yin Rong has been promoted to general because of his previous meritorious service in assassinating Yu Shengwei.
Yin Ling said: "General Taishi, the last general is willing to lead his troops out of the city to meet the battle and repel Zong Yanxiao. ”
"The boy is willing to go with General Yin!" Tai Shijun said.
Tai Shisheng shook his head and said, "We only have 30,000 people, so it's better to hold on to the city." ”
"Father, the child only needs to bring 10,000 people, and he will definitely be able to break the Zhanzhou army." Tai Shijun said.
"Hugh will speak wildly! You've never been in battle, so how do you know how dangerous the battlefield is? Leading troops to fight is not child's play, one general is incompetent, and thousands of troops will be exhausted. Tai Shisheng was a little angry.
Seeing this, Yin Rong knew that Tai Shisheng was determined to stick to it, so he stopped talking.
On the first watch, Tai Shijun found Yin Rong and said, "General Yin, although my father is unwilling to transfer troops to us, I have thought of another way, I can gather 20,000 people and go out of the city to face the battle." ”
"What's the solution?"
"The total number of Tuntian soldiers outside the city is almost 20,000, and it can come in handy at this time."
Yin Rong shook his head and said, "Those Tuntian soldiers have been in battle for a long time, and most of them are old and young, I'm afraid they are not the opponents of the Zhanzhou army." ”
"It's come to this, and there's no other way but this, I'll leave the city now."
"Okay, I'll go with you, Childe."
Zong Yanxiao led an army of 60,000 all the way, but he didn't see a single soldier of the Ling army, but he had some doubts in his heart. When he was only fifty miles away from Yinghui City, he saw Tai Shijun coming with a team of men and horses.
Zong Yanxiao asked loudly, "The thief will report his name?" ”
Tai Shi Jun sneered and said, "Listen, the thief will listen, grandpa is Tai Shi Jun, come over if you are not afraid of death." ”
"Tai Shijun? Nameless rats, the tone is not small! Zong Yanxiao said contemptuously.
Tai Shi Jun listened, furious, waved his spear and went straight to Zong Yanxiao, Zong Yanxiao raised his spear to face the battle, the two generals fought for thirty rounds, Tai Shi Jun was defeated, led the army to flee, Zong Yanxiao chased closely.
Zong Yanxiao chased to the bottom of an earthen mountain, and suddenly heard a burst of drums, he looked up and saw Yin Rong standing on the earthen mountain, surrounded by soldiers with bows and arrows.
Yin Rong laughed loudly: "Zong Yanxiao, do you know who I am? My name is Yin Rong, and I am your killer enemy, but it is useless to tell you, you can't kill me at all! With that, he gave the order to release the arrows.
Dense feathered arrows shot down from a high place, and the shield soldiers of the Zhanzhou army ran in front of Zong Yanxiao and raised their shields to protect him.
At this time, Tai Shijun led the army back, he took his bow and arrow, aimed at Zong Yanxiao, and shot an arrow and hit Zong Yanxiao's right shoulder.
Zong Yanxiao pulled out his feather arrow and shouted loudly: "Don't panic, kill me with me!" ”
The two armies were scuffled together, the Zhanzhou army slowly gained the upper hand, suddenly, Tai Shisheng led the army to rush over, the Zhanzhou army could not resist, the formation began to be confused, Zong Yanxiao saw this, he could only order a retreat, he personally led a thousand cavalry to break off, blocking the pursuers.
The medical officer accompanying the army looked at Zong Yanxiao's wound and said, "General, the wound is relatively deep, lead the army to retreat to Zhanzhou." ”
Zong Yanxiao said: "We can't withdraw, it was just a small defeat just now, our army is still more than Tai Shisheng's defenders, and we can continue to attack the city tomorrow." ”
