Chapter 693
Now is different from the past, with the investment of Bai Xuan and Jin Guang, Liu Lan naturally studied with the two of them how to eat Gongsun Du and the entire Xiangping City in one bite, but what he didn't think about was that a new situation would appear when they all reached the final stage.
In fact, it was not too serious, that is, the siege of Yangyi's rout was quite tightly defended, and after Guan Yu and others arrived, they organized several charges and were blocked by the enemy by taking advantage of the night, so he had to order a siege without attacking, and then launch a general attack after dawn.
After receiving the news from Guan Yu, the sky was already bright, and the eastern sky was slowly blooming with brilliant red glow, Liu Lan looked at the magnificent scene above the sky, and listened to the sound of hooves, one after another, and Bai Xuan and Jin Guang set off to Guan Yu with 20,000 Xiangping troops in such a continuous hoof.
At the same time, on a barren mountain ridge between Xiangping and Xinchang that is no more than a hundred zhang high and only two miles in radius, Yangyi also admires the rising sun like Liu Lan, but he is on the nameless mountain ridge and does not have the leisure and elegance of Liu Lan to appreciate the beautiful scenery, his heart is heavy and even painful, and the red glow is gorgeous, but he doesn't know if he will see him again tomorrow.
The suppressed emotions spread from top to bottom, and the soldiers hung their heads, like defeated roosters, and their breath was sorrowful, but how could he not be like this, shaking his head lightly, and then sighing at the rising sun.
Death was getting closer and closer to him, and they were stationed there aimlessly, without reinforcements, and without food or grass.
The troops set out with only five days, no, three days of rations to be exact, for which he even slaughtered his horses, and the mountains and rivers were exhausted. Even if Liu Lan didn't give the order to attack, they would be trapped and starved to death!
"Long history. Let's eat something. "After a fierce battle all night, the soldiers were starving, eating horse meat and dry food, and a soldier who looked like a military horse brought over the last remaining piece of horse meat. It was not that all the war horses were slaughtered, but Yangyi's mount, which he personally ordered, although the war horses were precious. But at this moment, he wanted the soldiers to eat better, not just dry food.
"You can eat." Yang Yi politely declined. How could he still be in the mood to eat when the battle was defeated, in fact, he also thought about surrendering, but after following Gongsun for so many years, the decision to surrender was better than Bai Xuan. But he couldn't go down easily.
He also thought about sending someone to break through and ask for help. But how many reinforcements can Xiangping send? Will Gongsun Du save him?
Yang Yi kept asking himself in his head, wanting to get an answer, but he couldn't get an answer, which made him still have the appetite to eat. But Jun Sima was very persistent, and he kept holding horse meat on the side, and did not give up, Changshi is now too haggard, and the whole person has aged a lot overnight. Although it didn't turn white overnight, the gray hair also ran out overnight. Now how can he still have the heroism of yesterday, completely like a little old man who has experienced vicissitudes, leaning forward, looking at his back, Jun Sima was inexplicably pained, sighed in his heart, and said: "Changshi, eat a little bit, everyone is still waiting for you to lead the breakthrough." ”
Breaking through, how can it be so simple! Yang Yi's mind was already in a mess, there was no way at all, could he only die on the battlefield, thinking of this, he screamed and instead stretched out his hand to take the horse meat from the hands of Jun Sima, how can it be better than a starving ghost when he is full, ah woo and bite a big mouthful of horse meat, swallow dates, and eat it clean in a few bites. Looking at Changshi's 'reinvigoration', Jun Sima finally showed a long-lost smile: "Changshi, now that the Xinchang army has besieged us on this nameless mountain, but has given up the attack, why don't we send scouts back to Xinchang to ask for help from the county guard, if we can hold out here for a long time, as long as the reinforcements arrive, maybe we will be able to turn defeat into victory." ”
Reinforcements, reinforcements sent by Gongsun Du?
Is it possible?
Suddenly, Yang Yi couldn't help but shudder, cold sweat flowed from his forehead, and his heart was pounding, he seemed to understand all of a sudden the reason why Liu Lan's troops suddenly gave up the attack, it wouldn't be that they were waiting for him to ask Gongsun Du for help, so that he could fight the rescuers sent by Gongsun County to rescue them.
As soon as such a thought appeared, Yang Yi's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, scared, worried, and even afraid, the more he thought about it, the more likely it became: he sighed and said: "Unintentionally inserted willows, unintentionally inserted willows, we led troops up the mountain, it is likely to send a wrong signal to the enemy, so that Liu Lan mistakenly thought that we were holding on and waiting for help, otherwise how could the Xinchang army suddenly stop attacking, if this is the case, we are now sending people to ask for help, isn't it in Liu Lan's arms?" ”
"What Changshi means ......" Jun Sima's heart fluttered to his throat, if it was really as Changshi guessed, wouldn't the enemy army use them as bait and catch the bait. As soon as he thought of this, and in connection with last night's battle, Jun Sima, who had lingering palpitations for Liu Lan and was even inexplicably afraid, felt more and more that the long history guessed that nine times out of ten might happen, and once the reinforcements who came to rescue them were ambushed by the Xinchang army, with the current military strength of the Xinchang army, it would definitely be wiped out.
There was silence for a while, and finally Yang Yi sighed and said, "Now we only have two ways to go, either break through or surrender!" ”
But Yang Yi didn't want to choose these two paths.
~~~~~
When Yang Yi was thinking about the third way, after half an hour of hurrying, Liu Lan finally arrived at this nameless mountain, and once again solemnly introduced Bai Xuan and Jin Guang to everyone, they were very polite, but except for Guan Yu, there was a little embarrassment, and finally Zhang Fei broke the siege, grinned, and said haha: "Yun Chang is this kind of character, he is the same for everyone, his face is cold and his heart is hot, don't mind." ”
Then Liu Lan, who borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, completely rounded the field, although Guan Yu has changed a lot more than he knows, but the things in his bones will not change, although the Spring and Autumn Period has not seen it, but his coldness is really not because the two of them easily defect and do not have much good feelings, just like Zhang Fei said, the face is cold and the heart is hot, especially to strangers, think about Guan Yu when he first came, no matter who he had a relationship with, is it not the lukewarm appearance he is now, and in the end, even Xu Huang came to take the exam and said that there is no him with me, With him and me, you can imagine how bad the relationship between the two was at that time.
Fortunately, Xu Huang was still called Xu Atai at that time, otherwise he must suspect that the two of them were born to restrain each other, and the enemies in the previous life really separated the two, so that the relationship between the two would have no room for turnaround, but it was the persistence at that time that made the two people who had the most stiff relationship at the beginning, and the two people who had to do everything contradict, finally intersect.
I have to say that creation makes people.
Although they didn't reveal Guan Yu's scars in person, Bai Xuan and Jin Guang also smiled when they saw everyone's expressions, and it seemed that they had all eaten Guan Yu's red face, so they were relieved, otherwise the cold nose and cold face might not be left.
After this episode, the group finally began to observe the situation of the enemy in the mountains. (To be continued......)
