Chapter 27: The Fortified City Falls
Fang Linghu saw that the Feizhou army had captured the Navy Division's camp, laughed, and said to Situ Zhan: "Mr. Situ, I didn't expect to capture the Navy Division's camp so quickly, some people say that the Ruizhou Army is brave and good at fighting, but I think it's just that." ”
Situ Zhan chuckled lightly and said, "Envoy, you can't underestimate the Ruizhou army, now you should order the soldiers who are still on the road to march quickly, rush here as soon as possible, and capture the city of Yukou." ”
In the Taishou Mansion of Yukou City, Ning Weijin said angrily to everyone: "There are 20,000 people in the camp of the water division! It was captured by Fang Linghu so easily? What a shame! ”
Ji Lisheng, the general of the water division, lowered his head and said: "Taishou, the last general didn't expect the Feizhou army to come to attack the water division camp, they came too suddenly, we were defenseless, and we were caught off guard." ”
"Unprepared? Alibi! Ji Lisheng, you are the chief general of the sailor division of my Ruizhou army, and now the sailor battalion is lost in your hands, and 20,000 soldiers have been lost, I see what face you have to meet the envoy! I really want to slash you right now. The more Ning Weijin spoke, the more angry she became.
"Please Taishou allocate 3,000 soldiers and horses to the last general, and the last general will go out of the city to take back the camp of the water division!" Ji Lisheng said.
Qu Yanming said: "General Ji, you can't go, the Yuzhou army also has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and if you bring 3,000 people over, you can't recapture the camp of the water division at all." ”
Ning Weijin said: "Captain Qu, what do you say we should do now?" ”
"You should immediately send someone to ride a fast horse to Ruizhou City, and ask the envoy to send troops to come and reinforce it. Also, the Feizhou army is about to attack the city, and we must be ready to defend the city. Qu Yanming said.
Yu Shengwei couldn't help but be taken aback when he learned that the Feizhou Army had captured the Sailor Battalion, and said to everyone: "How could Fang Linghu suddenly come to attack the Ruizhou Territory? This must be someone who is sowing discord in this. ”
Chang Zhangye said: "Envoy, no matter what, we must send reinforcements to Yukou City as soon as possible. ”
Yu Moyuan stood up and said, "Father, the child is willing to take 70,000 soldiers and horses to rush to Yukou City. ”
Yu Shengwei nodded and said, "Okay, Moyuan, you quickly make preparations and set off as soon as possible." ”
"No!"
Fang Linghu led an army of 100,000 to besiege the city, and he ordered the elite soldiers in the army to storm the city, but they were repelled by the defenders of the city, losing 2,000 soldiers in vain.
Fang Linghu said to Situ Zhan: "Mr. Situ, if you storm this city, I'm afraid you won't be able to attack it in a short time." ”
Situ Zhan said: "What I am most worried about now is the reinforcements sent by Yu Shengwei, we must destroy this reinforcement first, and then attack the city." ”
"How can you destroy the reinforcements sent by Yu Shengwei?"
Situ Zhan's face became a little hideous, he pointed to the Qique Valley on the marching map and said: "Two years ago, the Ruizhou army set up an ambush in the Qique Valley, breaking Xing Youfang's 50,000 sailors, and Xing Youfang was almost wiped out. Now we have set up an ambush there, and when the Ruizhou army enters the canyon, we will destroy them. ”
"What if the Ruizhou Army doesn't go to the Bird Valley?" Fang Linghu was a little puzzled.
"The Bird Valley is the only way to come to the city, and they will definitely march from this canyon." Situ Zhan said in an affirmative tone.
Fang Linghu said to the Zhongyang general Zhan Suowei: "General Zhan, you quickly take 50,000 soldiers and horses to ambush on both sides of the Yuque Valley, prepare more feather arrows and stones, and I will order you to kill the Ruizhou army there, leaving no one behind!" ”
"The last general obeys!" Zhan Suowei clenched his fists and said.
Yu Moyuan led the army to the valley mouth of the Northern Dynasty in the Bird Valley and ordered the march to be stopped.
"Big brother, why did you stop?" Huangfu Sui asked.
Yu Moyuan said: "Second brother, this is the Que Valley, the valley road is long and narrow, I am worried that Fang Linghu will set up ambushes on the slopes on both sides. ”
"What if there are ambushes? We have 70,000 soldiers and horses, are we still afraid that he will not succeed? Huangfu Sui said.
"Second brother, if we enter the valley, we will lose very badly if we don't take advantage of the land!"
Zhongsun Yun said, "Young Master Yu, can we bypass the Bird Valley and rush to the City of the Mouth from somewhere else. ”
Zuoqiu Hu smiled: "I'm afraid that Gongzi Zhongsun hasn't seen the marching map, right?" From here, we have to walk six or seven hundred miles more mountain roads, and those mountain roads are not suitable for the army to walk, so we can't go around. ”
"If you can't enter, and you can't go around, then according to Mr., what should we do?" Zhongsun Yunxu asked.
Zuoqiu Hu thought for a while, and said to the generals: "You need to send a general to lead an army of 10,000 into the valley first, and lure the ambush out, which of you dares to go?" ”
"I'll go!" Huangfu Sui said first.
Shangguan Huang said, "I'd better go." ”
"The last general is willing to go." Bian Xianyi said.
Yu Moyuan said: "Don't fight, Shangguan Huang, you take 10,000 horses first, and after leading out the ambush soldiers, fight with them first, and I will lead the army to arrive later." ”
"No!"
Zhan Suowei stood among the weeds on the hillside, and when he saw the Ruizhou army entering the valley, he ordered loudly: "Release the arrows!" ”
The dense feathered arrows were shot down, and the Ruizhou army hurriedly raised their shields to cover it, but many soldiers were still killed by arrows.
Subsequently, Zhan Sowei led the ambush soldiers to kill, and the two armies fought fiercely in the narrow valley road.
Huangfu Sui said: "Big brother, there is a sound of fighting inside, we should also pass." ”
Yu Moyuan nodded and ordered: "Huangfu Sui led the long sword soldiers to the front, and the whole army will follow me into the valley!" ”
There were fewer and fewer soldiers around Shangguan Huang, and they couldn't resist the rush of the ambush soldiers at all. At this time, Yu Moyuan led the army to kill.
For a time, the shouts of soldiers, the collision of weapons, and the neighing of war horses resounded through the valley.
Zhan Suowei knew that the Ruizhou army had more troops than himself, and he wanted to capture the thief and capture the king first, so he shot at Yu Moyuan with a bow and arrow, and Yu Moyuan hurriedly turned sideways to avoid the feather arrow.
Zhan Suowei swung his knife and slashed at Yu Moyuan, Yu Moyuan raised his spear to meet him, and stabbed Zhan Suowei's left shoulder in a few combinations. Zhan Suowei's personal soldiers protected him, and one of them said: "General Zhan, the battle situation is not good for us, let's withdraw!" ”
"Okay, withdraw!" Zhan Suowei ordered.
The Feizhou army retreated while fighting, withdrew from the Bird Valley, and returned to the camp.
Zhan Suowei came to the big tent of the Chinese army and knelt down.
Fang Linghu saw that Zhan Suowei was covered in blood, and asked, "General Zhan, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhan Suowei replied: "Envoy, the last general led the army to fight with the Ruizhou army in the Bird Valley, there were many of them, and the last general was defeated. ”
"You get up first." Fang Linghu said coldly.
Situ Zhan said: "Fang Envoy Jun, it seems that Yu Shengwei has sent a lot of reinforcements, we must immediately attack the city, and take the city before the reinforcements arrive." Otherwise, we will be caught between the inside and the outside and suffer a great defeat. ”
Fang Linghu said to Zhan Suowei: "General Zhan, I ordered you to lead troops to attack the city, this time we must capture it, if we are defeated, we will have to withdraw to Feizhou." ”
Zhan Suowei said: "The last general will bring more soldiers to attack the south gate, if it can't be attacked, the last general will never come back alive." ”
"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news in this Chinese army tent!"
Zhan Suowei came to the front of the city, ordered the soldiers to help him take off his armor, and said loudly: "Soldiers, success or failure in this battle, if you can capture the city, after entering the city, you will share the money and wealth in the city with you, rush with me!" ”
The Yuzhou army braved the rain of arrows and rushed to the city wall, set up a ladder, and climbed up. Qu Yanming hurriedly ordered the soldiers to throw down the rolling wooden stones. When Zhan Suowei was about to go up to the city, he saw Qu Yanming who was fighting, he secretly took out the meteor hammer and hit Qu Yanming's helmet with a hammer, Qu Yanming's eyes went black and he fainted.
Zhan Suowei jumped hard and climbed to the top of the city. He swung his knife and slashed left and right, no one could stop him, and more and more Yuzhou troops climbed up to the top of the city, but the defenders couldn't resist it, and ran away with Qu Yanming.
The defenders carried Qu Yanming into the Taishou Mansion, and Ning Weijin was shocked and asked, "Captain Qu, what's wrong?" ”
A soldier replied: "Yu Taishou, Captain Qu was knocked unconscious by the meteor hammer, and the south gate was breached. ”
At this time, Ji Lisheng ran in in a panic and said, "It's too guarded, it's not good, the Feizhou army has attacked the city." ”
Ning Weijin shouted loudly: "Soldiers, don't panic, close the door of the mansion first!" ”
Fang Linghu was looking through the war book in the big tent, and a personal soldier came in and said, "Envoy, General Zhan has already invaded the city, and Ning Weijin is surrounded in the Taishou Mansion." ”
"Good!" Fang Linghu stood up, "General Zhan really didn't disappoint me, I'll go into the city." ”
Fang Linghu and Situ Zhan led the army into the city and came to the gate of the Taishou Mansion, Zhan Suowei said: "Envoy, Ning Weijin and Ji Lisheng are all in the mansion. ”
"How many soldiers are there?" Fang Linghu asked.
"A thousand at most." Zhan Suowei replied.
"Then let's kill it, remember, Ning Weijin I want to live."
"The Admiral remembers."
The Yuzhou military smashed the door of the mansion and rushed into the mansion. Ning Weijin led hundreds of soldiers to fight to the death with the Xuzhou army, but they were outnumbered and could not resist the attack of the Xuzhou army at all.
Ning Weijin was exhausted and was captured by the Yuzhou soldiers, and Ji Lisheng was injured in the fight and was also tied up. When Qu Yanming woke up, he found that he was tied up strongly.
The three of them were all brought in front of Fang Linghu, Ning Weijin stared at Fang Linghu with both eyes, and scolded sharply: "Fang Linghu, you don't go to crusade against Ling Ju, but come to attack my Ruizhou territory, what a despicable villain, shameless!" ”
"Shut up! Do you know what Yu Shengwei has done? He actually went to the Son of Heaven and said that I had the intention of rebellion, which is really hateful. The reason why I led the troops here is because I can't swallow this breath! Fang Linghu said.
