"Poof—"

Red blood spurted out of Peng Tang's neck, and I saw that his face was full of disbelief, holding his neck and staggering back two steps, but in the end he fell to the ground due to excessive blood loss.

This scene stunned the Qin soldiers who accompanied Peng Tang.

The cavalry under General Hu Yu attacked General Peng Tang?!

However, before these Qin soldiers could react, they saw Cao Chun raise his arms and shout: "Kill in!" ”

Hearing this, the Qin soldiers who followed Peng Tang out of the city reacted that the other party was not the cavalry under General Hu Yu at all, the other party was the Wei army!

After realizing this, these Qin soldiers shouted loudly as they ran towards the city: "Close the city gate!" Close the gates! These are Wei Jun! They're going to raid the city......"

But as soon as he said this, five hundred Fangcheng cavalry had already rushed behind them, only to see a few Fangcheng cavalry casually lifting Changge, and easily piercing the backs of these Qin soldiers.

What the?

Is it the cavalry of the Wei army?

The Qin guards inside the city gate were shocked and hurriedly pushed the city gate, trying to close the city gate.

However, how could Meng Hu and Cao Chun allow them to do that, only to see the two of them pointing to the city gate in unison, and shouted in a deep voice: "Kill in!" ”

Under the orders of the two, the dozen or so Fangcheng cavalry who rushed to the forefront simply did not reduce the speed of the war horse sprint, and rushed straight to the two city gates that were slowly closing, and at the end of the time they were about to hit the city gate, they saw these dozen Fangcheng cavalry pull the reins of their horses violently, causing the war horses to crash horizontally into the city gate.

There was a loud bang, and the slowly closing gate was knocked open again.

It can be clearly seen along the crack of the city gate, and there are several Qin soldiers behind the city gate holding the door bolt to try to close and fix the city gate, but the collision with the door just now caused several of these Qin soldiers to be knocked to the ground, and the huge door bolt that they lifted together also fell to the ground.

"Quick! Close the gates! ”

Faintly, the voice of a certain Qin army general was heard from inside the city gate.

And outside the city gate, the cavalry of Zhufang City did not weaken the strength of hitting the city gate with the help of horsepower, and under the continuous impact of dozens of Fangcheng cavalry, the Qin soldiers behind the city gate finally couldn't support it, so that in the end, with a loud bang, the two city gates were finally knocked open by the Fangcheng cavalry.

"Knocked open the gates!"

"Kill it!"

"Wow——!"

Seeing that the city gate was wide open, five hundred Fangcheng cavalry cheered, and under the leadership of Meng Hu and Cao Chun, they rushed in.

On the other hand, the Qin soldiers near the city gate were as earth-colored as their faces.

"Quick, hurry up and warn the city, the cavalry of the Wei army has entered the city!"

"Yes, yes......"

Under the anxious urging of the Qin general, the two Qin soldiers ran to the city wall and told Tong Ze on the city wall about the Wei army's entry into the city.

I saw that the Qin soldiers on the city wall also looked at each other: Isn't it General Hu Yu's cavalry?! Is it the Fangcheng cavalry?!

Panicking, they immediately sent a warning to the city, only to hear the clanging sound of pounding cymbals on the wall a moment later.

Unfortunately, even though the city wall sent out a warning message, the Qin soldiers in the city still couldn't stop the attack of the Fangcheng cavalry, and they were pitiful for those who went out of the house to check the situation because they heard the warning sound, and before they could figure out what was going on, they saw a cavalry galloping towards him......

However, this warning also attracted the attention of those Qin soldiers in the Qin camp outside the city, and many Qin soldiers flocked to the outside of the camp to look at Wancheng, which was only a stone's throw away from them.

"What's going on? Why is there a sound of fighting in Wancheng? ”

"I don't know, Wancheng seems to have been attacked."

"Attack? Who? Wei Jun? How could they bypass General Bai Qi's army and sneak attack the rear? ”

"Could it be that General Bai Qi has been defeated by the Wei army?"

"How could it be ......?"

Countless Qin pawns looked at each other, puzzled.

And at this moment, suddenly a soldier exclaimed: "Quiet! Be quiet! It's like there's something in the distance......"

Hearing this, the Qin soldiers gradually quieted down, and they listened attentively, and they could vaguely hear the sound of the earth trembling in the distance.

As if the earth were trembling, an army gradually appeared in the distance, an army led by cavalry, followed by countless foot soldiers, who were roaring and shouting, and rushing towards this direction.

Seeing this, several Qin pawns who reacted quickly shouted at the top of their voices: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! ”

Enemy attack?

Wei Jun?

Is it really the Wei army that attacked my Wancheng?

Why haven't I received any warnings?

The Qin soldiers panicked, although several Qin generals immediately stood up to command the array, but unfortunately the time was still too hasty, and before these Qin soldiers finished arranging, the cavalry in the distance had already been killed in front of them.

"I am the number one fierce general in Fang City, Hua Hu is also!"

A young cavalry general shouted loudly, brandishing Changge as a leading soldier into the array of the Qin army.

I saw him dancing with Changge in his hand, leading a team of cavalry to rush left and right in the array of the Qin army, and in an instant, the already unstable formation of the Qin army was shattered.

At this time, Wei general Tang Zhi had just led three thousand foot soldiers to rush here, and saw that Hua Hu and the cavalry under his command had already messed up the formation of the Qin army, and even Hua Hu himself was killing in the hinterland of the Qin army's formation.

After a compliment, he also waved his arms and shouted loudly: "My Yecheng soldiers, Hugh is going to be compared to Fang Cheng's robes, kill them!" ”

"Oh-"

The three thousand Yecheng soldiers shouted with high morale, and under the leadership of Tang Zhi, they rushed to the military camp outside Wancheng City.

Because the Qin army responded to the battle in a hurry, it was said that at least half of the Qin army guards in the military camp outside the city did not know what was going on at the moment, how could this stop the offensive of the three thousand Yecheng troops under Tang Zhi's command?

In an instant, the camp gate was broken by the Wei army, and the cavalry led by Hua Hu and Cai Cheng rushed into the camp as if they were entering the sea, and immediately launched a surprise attack in all directions.

Pity the many Qin soldiers in the camp, until the Fangcheng cavalry killed in front of them, they still didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly raised their weapons to try to meet the battle, but they were soon killed by many Wei soldiers because they were outnumbered.

After killing through the entire camp, Hua Hu did not stop, and immediately ordered: "Pass the order, hand it over to the Yecheng soldiers here, let's go and support Menghu's guy!" ”

"Whoa!"

Under Hua Hu's order, the cavalry of 1,500 square cities left the Qin camp outside the city and went straight to Wancheng, given that the area around the south gate of Wancheng was still under the control of the cavalry under Menghu's command at this moment, the cavalry led by Hua Hu and Cai Cheng rushed into the city effortlessly.

Seeing that there were countless more Fangcheng cavalry killed in the city, the Qin soldiers on the southern city wall were completely desperate.

They originally encouraged each other, tried to cheer up their spirits to recapture the city gate, and then trapped Meng Hu and Cao Chun's 500 cavalry in the city, but they did not expect that in just a moment, at least 1,000 Wei cavalry entered the city, and then saw that the camp outside the city was already burning with fire, and they finally despaired.

But because of the iron law of the Qin army that deserters must be punished, these desperate Qin soldiers still bravely killed those Wei cavalry with weapons, maybe in their opinion, since they will die horizontally and vertically, it is better to simply pull a Wei pawn on their backs.

I have to say that the death charge of these Qin soldiers in desperation also caused some casualties to the Fangcheng cavalry, but on the whole, it was not enough to reverse the victory or defeat of this surprise attack, and after about half an hour, several fires were ignited in Wancheng City.

As Meng Zhong judged, because Wancheng is in the center of Wanfang, Sima Cuo and Bai Qi really built the front-line granary in Wancheng in order to facilitate the transportation of grain and grass, and piled up the grain and grass transported here from Wuguan, or from Bashu and through Chu State, in the granary of Wancheng, but now, this countless grain and grass was burned by the Wei army.

Seeing the countless grains gradually turning into char in the sea of fire, many Fangcheng cavalry had a little regret on their faces.

After all, there is never too much grain and grass, not to mention that Yeyi has sheltered more than 100,000 Chu people, and there is still a big food gap, so you have to borrow grain from neighboring cities such as Xu County and Yuncheng, if you can grab this batch of grain and grass from the Qin army, it will naturally greatly alleviate Yeyi's embarrassment of lack of food.

However, they also knew that such a large amount of Qin army rations would inevitably not be transported away in a short period of time, and it was better to burn them down than to be recaptured by the Qin army.

Speaking of which, there were some clever Fangcheng cavalrymen who took the opportunity to grab some grain and put it in the backpack of the war horse, after all, this is also considered a trophy, and it is a lot of harvest to go back to the rice shop in Yeyi and sell it.

"Hooray!"

Suddenly, a Fangcheng cavalryman looked at the raging fire in front of him, raised his arms and shouted.

His voice seemed to ignite the enthusiasm of the rest of the Fangcheng cavalry at once, so that the surrounding Fangcheng cavalry raised their arms and shouted, shouting long live.

Don't think that these pawns can't understand the situation, at least they also know that if the Qin army loses this batch of grain and grass, it will inevitably fall into the embarrassing situation of lack of food again, doesn't this mean that his Wei army will eventually achieve the final victory?

And for the smooth sneak attack on Wancheng, Meng Hu, Hua Hu, Tang Zhi and others were also very excited, and after some discussion, they didn't bother to chase after the small Qin army that fled from the battlefield, and returned to Yangguan along the same road with the mentality of a victor.

Of course, although there is no need to rush back, considering that Yangguan is still waiting for their news, Menghu, Huahu, and Tang Zhi did not forget to send a few cavalry to take the lead and report to Yangguan the good news that they have successfully attacked Wancheng.

Probably because of the relationship between joy and excitement, the few Fangcheng cavalry sent out only took one day to send the good news to Yangguan without stopping.

After learning the good news, Meng Zhong and Zhai Zhang were both overjoyed.

Because according to Meng Zhong's strategy, only the initial sneak attack on Wancheng may have a mistake, and then directly affect the entire situation, but God bless the Wei State, Bai Qi was unprepared for Wancheng after all, so that they were able to sneak attack successfully.

Later, in the discussion with Meng Zhong, Zhai Zhang said to Meng Zhong: "The Qin army has lost this batch of grain and grass in Wancheng, and it is not only Bai Qi who has been affected, but also Sima Cuo, who is mostly resisting the storm kite in the north at this time, you might as well send someone to inform the storm kite, so that he can have a rough idea in his heart." After finishing his business, the old man did not forget to tease Meng Zhong: "So, did you write this letter or did the old man write it?" Or, do you write another one in the name of the old man? ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "Naturally, it was written by Da Sima......"

Zhai Zhang laughed when he heard this.

Don't think that he doesn't mind Meng Zhong writing a letter to Storm Kite in his name, it's just that Zhai Zhang, who is in a good mood, doesn't bother to bother with juniors like Meng Zhong, after all, Meng Zhong didn't do it for himself, but also for the interests of the Wei State.

Otherwise, with Zhai Zhang's stubbornness, he would never be so easy to speak.

A moment later, Zhai Zhang wrote a letter and sent people east to bypass Yingshan on the north side, and then to the west to the hands of the storm kite in the Rushui area.

In the evening of the same day, the defeated soldiers of Wancheng fled to Bai Qi's army.

At that time, Bai Qi was comparing the map of this area and formulating a strategy for attacking Yangguan, but he saw the general Tong Yang walking in with a serious face, and said with a fist: "Bai Shuai, Wancheng was attacked by the Wei army. ”

"......" Bai Qi didn't react for a while, looked up at Tong Yang, and then, frowning slightly, his eyes slowly widened, and his face gradually showed a shocked expression, only to see him raise his voice and ask in surprise: "What did you just say?" Wancheng? Wancheng was attacked by the Wei army? ”

"Yes." Tong Yang lowered his head and explained: "Only now did the soldiers of Wancheng defect to our camp and told a hundred generals at the gate of the camp about the sneak attack on Wancheng. Thanks to the hundred generals, they also knew that it was powerful, and they didn't dare to make a noise, so they immediately reported to the last general......"

"How is this possible?"

Bai Qi's face was full of shock, and he shook his head again and again: "These days, our army is always paying attention to Yangguan, once there is any wind and grass in Yangguan, the soldiers who monitor Yangguan will report it immediately, you say, how can the Wei army attack Wancheng behind our army under your noses?" ”

"Could it be reinforcements from the Wei State?" Tong Yang was skeptical.

Bai Qi shook his head: "Whether it is the Wei army in Yangguan or the reinforcements of the Wei State, if they want to go to Wancheng, they have to pass through our army, but our army has not received any news of the Wei army's dispatch from beginning to end...... Speaking of this, he turned his head and asked Tong Yangdao: "What about the soldiers who came to report the news?" ”

Tong Yang hugged his fists and said, "I knew that Bai Shuai would ask them personally, so I brought a few of them here, and they are waiting outside the house at the moment." ”

Bai Qi nodded and said, "Call them in!" ”

A moment later, four or five defeated soldiers from Wancheng walked into Bai Qi's barracks and called Bai Qi a general with a fist - it can be judged from this title that the Qin soldiers stationed in Wancheng were actually soldiers under Sima Cuo's command.

Bai Qi glanced up and down at these Qin soldiers a few times, and saw that their armor was covered with blood, and it was not because they were fleeing from the battle, so he slowed down his attitude a little, and asked in a deep voice: "Wancheng was attacked by the Wei army, was it the Wei army?" …… Tell me what happened 1510, and don't hide anything! ”

"Whoa." The Qin pawn at the head hugged his fists, and then slowly told him about the sneak attack on Wancheng.

In the process of telling, this person did not forget to mention a few important points, for example, there were cavalry in the enemy army that attacked Wancheng, and these cavalry attacked Wancheng in the name of Hu Yu, and there was also a self-proclaimed Huahu, the first fierce general of Fangcheng, and so on.

Hearing this, Tong Yang, who was on the side, couldn't help but interject: "There are cavalry, and that Huahu is there, this is obviously the Fangcheng Wei army under Meng Zhong......"

I have to say that the cavalry is now about to become the logo of the Fangcheng army, after all, there is no cavalry in the entire Wei country, only the Fangcheng Wei army has cavalry, not to mention that Hua Hu also revealed his identity.

You must know that on the side of the Bai Qi army, in addition to Meng Zhong, the Fangcheng Wei army belongs to Menghu, Huahu, and Mu Wu The most recognizable, after all, these three people were in the battle of Yique, and they had fled to Wuguan with tens of thousands of Qin troops under Bai Qi.

『…… Using the banner of Hu Yu's cavalry, did Wancheng relax his vigilance?"

Thinking of this, Bai Qi asked the soldiers, "What about General Peng Tang?" ”

I saw that the defeated soldiers looked at each other, or someone whispered: "At that time, the Wei army pretended to be the cavalry under the command of General Hu Yu with 500 cavalry, and General Peng Tang did not notice it for a while, and was killed by those cavalry when he went out of the city to inquire about the intention......"

Bai Qi frowned when he heard this.

Peng Tang, the dignified general stationed in Wancheng, was actually killed at the beginning, no wonder those Wei troops were killed in the city like a bamboo, and almost never encountered any decent resistance.

"Despicable Wei Jun!"

At this time, Sima Jin, who was already a white guard, couldn't help but spit out.

Bai Qi and Tong Yang looked at Sima Jin, but they didn't say anything.

Although the two also regretted that Peng Tang was killed, after all, Peng Tang was also a general who fought quite bravely, but they didn't expect that death was so worthless.

『…… I'm in trouble.'

Rubbing the corners of his forehead, Bai Qi felt a headache.

In fact, he had predicted in advance that after Meng Zhong completely annihilated the cavalry of his subordinate general Hu Yu, there would inevitably be some big action in the next few days, but the Fangcheng Wei army attacked Wancheng, but even Bai Qi did not expect it.

You must know that according to these defeated soldiers of Wancheng, the Wei army that attacked Wancheng had thousands of cavalry and thousands of foot soldiers - of course, Bai Qi knew that these defeated soldiers would definitely exaggerate the number of some Wei troops, but even if Bai Qi compressed the estimate of this Wei army to 3,000 people, this would not be reasonable.

That's a full 3,000 people, how can these 3,000 people sneak under the nose of his Bai Qijun and sneak attack Wancheng behind his Bai Qijun? Are all the generals in his army blind?

Suddenly, Bai Qi thought of the report of the previous day, on that day, a soldier reported that Yangguan sent about 3,000 foot soldiers to reinforce Yingshan on the north side for no reason, and on the same day, Yangguan sent dozens of cavalry with a size of about 20 people.

At that time, Bai Qi didn't care much about it, but now that he thinks about it carefully, isn't it this Wei army that attacked Wancheng?

The question is, how did this Wei army sneak up on Wancheng without the knowledge of his Bai Qi army?

"North...... North ......"

Standing up, Bai Qi paced back and forth in the barracks with his hands behind his back, and then turned around and pointed to a guard and said: "Send someone to search the north immediately, I am thinking, among the mountains on the north side, there must be a canyon leading to Wancheng...... Send someone to investigate, and report it to me immediately after verification! ”

"Whoa!"

After a while, after Tong Yang and the others retreated, Bai Qi lay on his back on the straw couch in the house.

At this moment, he is actually full of anger in his heart, but he also understands the truth that the wood has become a boat, the grain and grass in Wancheng have been burned by the Wei army, even if he is angry, what is the use?

Instead of being angry pointlessly, think about how to redeem the disadvantage.

Involuntarily, Bai Qi touched the arrow wound on his left shoulder, and immediately laughed under Sima Jin's incomprehensible gaze, but this laughter was filled with too many emotions, including anger and helplessness.

『…… According to what I know about Meng Zhong, I'm afraid the next situation will be the exchange of offense and defense...... How could he easily spare our army, which was short of food?'

Thinking secretly in his heart, at this moment, his mind couldn't help but think of the day on the north side of Yique Mountain, when Meng Zhong led the defeated Wei army to launch a counterattack against the Qin army under his command.

Seeing the timing and suddenly countering, in Bai Qi's opinion, this is that Meng Zhong's forte.

This is like the current situation, he should have been thinking about how to attack Yangguan, but as soon as Wancheng happened, the offensive and defensive positions were immediately exchanged, and at the moment, he had to guard against Meng Zhong taking the opportunity to enter the army......

Why did you fall into the pit again?

『……』

Bai Qi rubbed the corners of his forehead in anguish.
