Chapter 322: The Families of the Xiliang Army
Wei Yan killed Hu Zhen within five rounds, which immediately shocked Guo Yan, because even he could not kill Hu Zhen within five rounds, which was enough to prove that this Wei Yan's martial arts were even higher than him!
"This, how is this possible? Why does any unknown general in Pei Qing's army have such martial arts? Could it be that all the masters of the world are under his command? ”
Guo Yan's face was full of disbelief, gritting his teeth, his face was full of hideousness, hating why the sky was so unfair, and gathered all the fierce generals in the world under Pei Qing's command.
And at this moment, only an earth-shattering shouting and killing sound was heard, and Wei Yan had already taken the lead and led his soldiers to kill him.
When Hu Zhen had just died in Guo Yan's army, and their morale was falling, and now Wei Yan led the crowd to kill them again, which caused their morale to drop again, and the soldiers had no will to resist at all, and they were watching around, ready to flee at any time.
It didn't take long for Wei Yan to lead the crowd to rush to the front, Guo Yan hurriedly ordered the soldiers in the front row to come forward to resist, although these soldiers were extremely unwilling, but now Guo Yan's order is here, they don't dare to disobey, plus Guo Yan said, the other party only has 5,000 people, but there are tens of thousands of people on their side, are they still afraid of them?
When these soldiers heard this, they naturally had no choice but to step forward, hoping to block the opponent's offensive.
However, what he didn't expect was that the opponent's edge was so strong, Wei Yan personally charged forward, holding a sharp blade in his hand, and killed dozens of Xiliang Army soldiers in just a moment, it was simply a matter of being the one who was in charge, and no one could stop it at all.
And behind Wei Yan, his soldiers were also like wolves, and they launched a one-sided slaughter against the soldiers of the Xiliang Army.
Although there are many people on the other side, they are not afraid at all, but are even more excited, in their opinion, this group of rabble without combat power is simply lambs to be slaughtered, no matter how many lambs there are, can they be the opponents of the wolves?
In fact, where is the rabble of the Xiliang Army? When it was dominating the world, this army made the world's heroes look sideways, and the elite of the Xiliang Army was famous all over the world.
But at this time and at that time, the current Xiliang Army has suffered repeated defeats, and the morale of the army has long been much worse than before, so although it is still the original people, its combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, and they are unwilling to fight and dare not fight when the war comes, especially when they see Wei Yan extremely brave, first picking on Hu Zhen, and then killing dozens of people in a row, which makes them all frightened, where do they dare to resist? shouted and fled in all directions, although Guo Yan was fierce, where could he restrain him? I saw that the soldiers fled one after another, killing each other, trampling and trampling on thousands of deaths.
As the so-called defeat is like a mountain, Guo Yan, who saw this scene, had no choice but to order the retreat, and it was Guo Yan who led the remnants of the army to defeat the general, and retreated miserably towards the nearest county seat, Zuli City.
Guo Yan originally thought that Wei Yan would stop the pursuit if he was victorious, because the art of war was cloudy, and the poor Kou Mo chased, but he didn't expect the other party to chase after him, which caused the soldiers under Guo Yan's command to be more and more scattered, and when Guo Yan arrived at Zuli City, the number of soldiers was counted, and there were less than 5,000 soldiers left in the whole army.
Nearly half of the troops were reduced in just one battle, which made it really difficult for Guo Yan to accept, because it meant that his army was not superior in numbers, even Wei Yan couldn't resist it, let alone Pei Qing's army?
And the most helpless thing is that Guo Yan never thought that he would enter Zuli City, so he didn't bring enough military food at all, even if he opened the treasury, all the surplus food in the city would not be able to withstand seven days, and once the seven days passed, because there was no food, even if Wei Yan did not attack, this army would completely collapse.
In the face of this situation, Guo Yan had only one choice, that is, robbery, so he ordered his soldiers to break into the people's homes and forcibly rob the grain, all the surplus grain in the people's homes, no matter how much, will be snatched away, and all those who resist will be killed, and the soldiers will inevitably do some murder and arson in the process of looting the food, and the things that harm the women, for a while, the whole county is like a hell on earth, and the people are in dire straits, the clouds are gloomy, and the sorrow is all over the wilderness, which is unbearable.
On the day Guo Yan entered the city, Wei Yan had already led the army to surround Zuli City, under Zuli City, Wei Yan scolded every day, asking Guo Yan to go out of the city and surrender, stop doing useless struggles, even if it was a struggle, it was useless, and at the same time denounced Guo Yan's wanton robbery of the people, asking Guo Yan not to add more sins, and the result of this could only further aggravate his crimes.
However, Guo Yan turned a deaf ear to Wei Yan's scolding, in his opinion, these thousands of people are his capital to save his life, in order to ensure that these thousands of people have enough food, even if it is to grab food, there is nothing wrong with it, he can't let these thousands of people under his command starve to death for the sake of the so-called reputation.
What's more, Guo Yan himself is a brutal person, even in normal times, he has not violated the people, not to mention that now he is endangering his own life, so he naturally will not take these into account.
Fortunately, in the past few days, Wei Yan has not launched any attacks except for shouting and scolding under the city every day, which makes Guo Yan still a little relieved, no matter what, now he can hold on to it day by day, once the opportunity is right, he will lead the army to break through, in this case, it is natural to avoid fighting if he can avoid fighting.
However, to Guo Yan's disappointment, he had secretly observed at the head of the city that the soldiers of the Han army under the city did not slack off in the slightest in terms of guarding, and their formation was very strict, and there was no sign of laxity, which made Guo Yan unable to find any opportunity to break through.
However, there was one thing that made him feel lucky, after many inquiries, he learned that Pei Qing only ordered Wei Yan to send troops to attack Wuwei, but he himself never led the army to fight, and he didn't even come from Chang'an at all.
Guo Yan gradually relieved after hearing the news, he knew that Wei Yan did not have much grain and grass, as long as he could hold on, he might not be able to hold on until Wei Yan ran out of food and retreated, as long as Wei Yan retreated, even if his martial might was saved, at least in a short period of time, it would be impossible for Pei Qing to attack again.
But what is unexpected is that after only five or six days of work, even a chaotic sound came from a distance, Guo Yan looked into the distance at the head of the city, only to see that there was a sky full of smoke and dust, as if a team of people were coming.
Guo Yan suddenly became nervous in his heart, and he hurriedly ordered the whole army to fight, because the enemy army came to reinforce the army, and he was not so easy to deal with this time.
After a while, even Wei Yan shouted loudly under the city: "Guo Yan, don't die and struggle, you open your eyes now and see, who are the people under the city?" These are your families in Guzang City, and they are now rushing to the front line, and they are eagerly waiting for you to surrender, because as long as you surrender, you will be reunited. ”
