Chapter 421: Soldiers

The best thing a brute soldier is at running between the mountains, after Liu Yi gave the order to speed up the march, the marching speed increased a bit, and the road in two days could be completed in one day, allowing Liu Yi to see the strength of the physical fitness of the barbarians.

Liu Yi found that this Nanzhong is really a treasure land, not only has a large number of untapped resources, but also a good source of soldiers, from this barbarian army that has not been trained much, it can be seen that if this is a serious training for a year or two, with the attributes of the military camp and school field, why not train a strong soldier?

Ma Tan's face was a little pale, such a long and rapid march, Liu Yi was physically strong, not too tired, but for Ma Tan, even if the military camp at night had the attribute of rejuvenating energy, it was still a little unbearable.

"Come and sit in the car for a while, I'll ride a horse, don't be reckless." Liu Yi looked at Ma Yan's somewhat dry lips and shook his head, telling him not to be reckless.

Although I didn't say half a sentence of bitterness along the way, I spent all my energy on resisting fatigue, and how to make suggestions.

"Thank you, Tinghou!" After Ma Jian hesitated for a moment, he thanked Liu Yi, Liu Yi got off the carriage and rode a war horse, he is now good at riding, at least he can still do it in a hurry.

Summoned the guide: "How many days are there until Jianning?" ”

"At today's speed, we will be able to reach Wei County tomorrow." Wei County is located in the south of Zhuti, which is considered to be the border between the two counties, but there are more than 300 miles of mountains in the middle, and there is no other human gathering place except for the barbarians living in the mountains.

"How many days does it take to go to Dianchi Lake?" Liu Yi frowned when he heard this.

"It is two hundred miles from Weixian to Dianchi, and the road is much better, and it can be reached in three days by marching in three days!" The guide bowed.

"Husband is going to take Dianchi Lake directly?" Lu Lingqi saw that Liu Yi had changed horses and rode horses, rode a horse to his side, and looked at Liu Yi.

Liu Yi nodded and said: "This time I came, it is to quell the rebellion, we have great righteousness, if we attack city by city, this rapid march will lose its meaning, Dianchi Lake, the rest of the counties do not dare to move, a move is the crime of rebellion." ”

"If you can catch that Yonghong and punish the crime, it can be deterred." Lu Lingqi smiled.

"I don't want him to be caught." Liu Yi shook his head and expressed his opinion: "Although it is a little unkind, but the current matter in Nanzhong, to be solved, killing people is inevitable, that Yonghong is alive, can gather those people together to deal with it, but if it is killed at once, the others will inevitably shrink back, but it will be more difficult to deal with, the method of Zhuti County is okay to use once, but if it is used again, it will not be good, the Zhuti barbarians have kindness and righteousness, and can control some, the barbarians in the other four counties are not so easy to control, once it is chaotic, it is really chaotic." ”

To put it simply, Liu Yi came this time to kill people, and he wanted to kill a lot, he needed a legitimate reason to kill, so he didn't want Yonghong to die so quickly, at least he had to pull the people away, so that the enemy and me would change from the original vague state to a state of clear opposites.

"Report~" A scout Pegasus came to Liu Yi's side, and he didn't get off the horse, this is Liu Yi's rule, and handed a bamboo slip in his hand to Liu Yi and said: "Jianning urgent!" ”

Ma Yan, who had already entered the carriage to rest, poked his head out of the carriage and looked at Liu Yi.

Liu Yi stretched out his hand to take the bamboo slip and unfold it, this time the bamboo slip did not have much content, but it was very unpleasant.

"Pavilion Marquis?" Ma Jian called softly.

Liu Yi shook his head and handed the bamboo slip to Ma Yan.

What is recorded on the bamboo slip is the whole process of Yonghong forcing Zhengang to rebel and killing him, if you want to say that you are filled with righteous indignation, it is not, after all, he and Zhengang have nothing to do with him, it is not his business, how sad it is, it is a little contrived, but there is indeed a little uncomfortable in his heart, after all, Zhengang is reluctant to die in this matter, it can be seen that this is a very principled person, Liu Yi will not be this kind of person, but he does admire this kind of person in his heart.

"In this way, that Yonghong has already begun to plan a rebellion." Ma Tan looked at Liu Yi and said in a deep voice.

"Hmm." Liu Yi nodded, this was obvious.

Ma Jian thought for a while and said, "Although it is not very good, this matter is beneficial to us, and it can be used as a reason." ”

"That's true." Liu Yi nodded, glanced at Ma Jian and said, "It's just that you are a little too cold-blooded." ”

The corners of Ma Yan's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he got back into the car, what does this have to do with being cold-blooded?

……

After killing Zhengang, Yonghong knew that there was no way out, so he forcibly ordered people to recruit private soldiers from various families, and at the same time sent people to contact Zhu Bao, Gao Ding and Yongchang Taishou Wang, hoping that the three families could use troops together, not to mention eliminating Liu Bei, but at least they should also separate themselves from Nanzhong, and at the same time send envoys to Cao Wei and Dongwu in the hope of obtaining the support of these two families.

After Liu Yi's soldiers and horses passed through Wei County, it was naturally difficult to hide their whereabouts, and someone hurried to inform Yonghong, but the county seat along the way was as Liu Yi expected, and he did not dare to stop Liu Yi's soldiers and horses rashly.

On the nineteenth day of the first month, Yonghong received the news that Liu Yi's soldiers and horses had invaded the border, and hurriedly sent people to transfer the soldiers and horses back from all over the country.

On the third day after receiving the news, Liu Yi's soldiers and horses had already come to the city, and in Jianning City, Yonghong only temporarily cobbled together some family private soldiers, Jianning's soldiers and horses were scattered in various places to suppress the barbarians, and would not be concentrated in the county town, even if Yonghong persuaded the families, he only gathered 6,000 men and horses, and he did not dare to go out of the city to fight without knowing Liu Yi's reality.

"The head of the family can rest assured, that Liu Yi came from afar, and he traveled all the way, the soldiers must be tired, they are already unable to attack the city, and they will definitely not attack the city today, we only need to defend the city for a few days, and wait for reinforcements from all over the country to arrive, and the enemy will be attacked inside and outside, and the enemy army will break itself." The staff said firmly.

Lu Yuan on the side was also a little nervous, looking at the army that appeared in sight in the smoke and dust in the distance, he was a little apprehensive, but after listening to the analysis of the staff, he also felt reasonable, and his heart was a lot more relaxed at the moment, no matter what, Liu Yi's name was still a little deterrent.

Yonghong nodded, his eyes looked at the smoke and dust in the distance, Liu Yi's army had gradually become clear in his sight, and the shock of the five thousand troops was not too great.

The staff was also a little puzzled, Liu Yi brought this person and ran to attack the city, is it unlikely?

"This must be Liu Yi's vanguard!" Lu Yuan said in a deep voice, he knew that Liu Yi transferred Qianwei's soldiers and horses, but how many people were transferred over there, Lu Yuan didn't know, but it was definitely more than that.

Yonghong nodded, he was also more inclined to this possibility, and said to a general at the moment: "Guard the city, if the enemy army comes to fight, don't pay attention to him." ”

Anyway, before the arrival of reinforcements, Yonghong was not ready to send troops, Liu Yi was a good fighter after all, no matter what his style of use of troops was, but it was a fact that people had never lost a war.

"Whoa!" The general nodded in agreement.

Yonghong no longer paid attention to that army, in his opinion, it is unlikely that the other party will attack the city today, he has to hurry back to the city, to persuade those people to give him some more private soldiers in the house, now this person in the city always feels that it is not very practical, at least ten thousand people.

……

Compared with Zhu Ti, the city of Dianchi is much stronger, at least there are bricks and tiles, unlike Zhu Ti is just an earthen city, Liu Yi came to the city under the escort of Wei Yue and Chen Ergou to observe carefully.

"Tinghou, do you want to fight?" Wei Yue looked at Liu Yi.

"Naturally, we have to fight." Liu Yi nodded: "The longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us, you see the defenders on the city wall, the defense is not too tight, obviously they don't think we will attack the city immediately, we will do the opposite, catch him off guard, you take people to camp, paralyze the enemy army, pull the parts of those siege equipment I brought, and assemble them immediately!" ”

Now Dianchi Lake should be the weakest time, if you rest and then fight, then the meaning of your own rapid march is gone, although the Dianchi city wall is thicker than Zhu, but that is only relatively speaking, the wall is more than two zhang high (Han Yizhang is 2.23 meters), compared with the city in the Central Plains, even a county town can not be compared, which naturally reduces the difficulty of attacking the city, plus the soldiers and horses they brought this time are well-equipped brute soldiers, with siege equipment, while the defenders are in a relaxed mood, it is easiest to break through the city.

Wei Yue and Chen Ergou took the order and left.

The defenders saw that they began to set up camp here, and they really relaxed, but in fact, Liu Yi ordered people to quickly assemble the ladders and the city trucks, and at dusk, when the city defenders had begun to prepare for the change of guards, the ladders and city vehicles began to slowly move towards the city wall, and at the same time, the heavily armed barbarians also began to move towards the city wall with their shields.

"Not good, enemy attack!"

The guard was loyal to the reaction at this time, and hurriedly ordered the trumpeter to blow the horn, and the soldiers who had been waiting for the change of guard were standing behind the female wall in a hurry at this moment, and began to prepare to meet the enemy, but it was difficult to adjust the loose state for a while.

The ladder was built on the top of the city, hooking the female wall, and it couldn't be pushed away at all, and the sparse arrows fell, and even if they hit people, most of them were bounced off by armor, and more were blocked by shields.

By the time the soldiers and horses from the rest of the cities were transferred, Liu Yi's barbarians had already stepped on the ladder and charged towards the city wall.

"Roar~"

The brute let out a furious roar, stepped on the female wall, jumped high, and the shield in his hand took advantage of this downward inertia to smash down at the defenders in front of him, directly bursting the opponent's brain.

Most of the defenders around are private soldiers recruited from the major wealthy families, they have not experienced a run-in, they are not subordinate to each other, and they have never been on the battlefield, how have they seen such a scene, they did not think of joining forces to kill the enemy, but they were intimidated by the power of the other party, and began to scatter and flee for their lives, and more barbarians took the opportunity to kill them......
