Chapter 424: Anyi Prepares for War
"Pass my order, inform all the people in the city to dig a deep ditch within a thousand meters of Anyi City, and at the same time notify Wei Zhongdao, the head of the Wei family, and ask him to send private soldiers in the clan to prepare arrows, logs, and boulders to defend the city!"
"Subordinates take orders!"
With Guan Yu's command order, the soldier seemed to have found the backbone of the main heart at once, and he did not panic, and after receiving the order, he bowed to Guan Yu again, and then immediately turned around and rode back to Anyi City.
"Duke Wen, Duke Zuo, Duke Tong, right now Anyi is about to face a strong enemy, and the war is approaching, so it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time. I also hope that Duke Wen, Duke Zuo, and Duke Tong will return to Anyi with me. β
After the horse trainer, Zuo Ci, and Tong Yuan glanced at each other, they all agreed with their chins. Tong Yuan even spoke.
"Hedong is a rare paradise in the current troubled times, and Lu Fengxian attacked Hedong for no reason, which was really lawless and reckless. If Yun Chang needs the old man, just speak. Although the old man is old, he still has the power to go into battle to kill the enemy! β
"Tong Gong, what he said is very true. This is a rare paradise, and Lu Fengxian is not afraid of being punished by heaven if he is a soldier for no reason. Although the old man is a Taoist priest of three sects and nine ranks, he is also willing to use a little force to help Yun Chang repel Lu Fengxian! β
Zuo Ci, who was a fairy wind bone, was angry, and his eyes were terrifying. And when the horse trainer saw that the two old friends were speaking to help, how could they fall behind, he also opened his mouth.
"Since Tong Gong and Zuo Gong have already spoken Mingzhi. It seems that I can't stay out of the old man, Yun Chang don't worry, with me and the other old man here, Zhang Liao's troops and horses, you don't have to worry, concentrate on fighting the enemy with Lu Fengxian. β
The horse tamers, Zuo Ci, and Tong Yuan were all willing to contribute, which made Guan Yu's pressure suddenly drop sharply, except for Zuo Ci, the horse tamers and Tong Yuan all had battlefield experience, and the two of them commanded the defense of the city, so it should be no big problem. And the three of them, their martial arts are extraordinary, even if Zhang Liao is brave, it is impossible to defeat the three of them.
After several people agreed, the horse trainer, Zuo Ci, and Tong Yuan asked Guan Yu to take Diao Chan and Cai Yan to leave first, and after they packed up, they rushed back to Anyi City.
After a while, Guan Yu and the groom rode in front of the carriage together, and Diao Chan and Cai Yan sat in the back carriage of the horse. The groom flicked his whip, and the two horses neighed in unison, and galloped through the mountain path.
Inside the carriage carriage. Diao Chan's beautiful face had a worried and gloomy look, and her white fingers were rubbed red. Cai Yan also knew the story between her, Guan Yu and Lu Bu, and knew that the kind-hearted Diao Chan would definitely feel guilty because of Lu Bu's crimes, so he persuaded softly.
"Sister Hoy, don't blame yourself. Although the second brother is not good at showing it, his affection for you is so deep that I and others can see it really. You are his beloved, and the second brother is a husband who stands up to the sky, how can he allow others to take away his beloved. And from the moment you decide to follow your second brother, you are our indispensable family. Saburo once said that family is an existence that people can give their lives to protect. This sentence is also the creed of the entire Hedong, from the civil and military generals to the ordinary people.
Moreover, the second brother is an extraordinary fierce general in the world, and he will definitely be able to protect Anyi and repel strong enemies. And Sister Hoy, don't do anything stupid. Although I am a woman's house, I am sure that if you return to Lu Bu in order to stop this war. At that time, whether it is the second brother or San Lang, he will definitely do not hesitate to devote all his forces to fight to the death with Lu Bu, unless he can save you, he will not die!! β
Diao Chan's starry and moon-like eyes rippled again and again, just now she did have the idea of sacrificing herself and returning to Lu Bu to end this war, but when Cai Yan said this, the emotion in her heart made her tears well, and at the same time, she was also moved by a strong sense of belonging, this land seemed to have become her home.
"I want to stay, I want to stay by Brother Guan's side, I want to stay in this family."
Diao Chan shouted in her heart, and at the same time, the beauty tears fell gently, Diao Chan grabbed her clothes tightly with both hands, biting her cherry mouth, and did not let herself cry. Looking at such a beautiful face, with a sad look, even Cai Yan, a woman, felt sad. Cai Yan was like a big sister, hugging Diao Chan into her arms, gently patting her delicate body, and comforting her softly.
At this time, Guan Yu, who was in front of the carriage, didn't know that his lover was crying. At this time, his face was solemn and full of resolute fighting spirit, and he made an oath in his heart that he would rather die than let Lu Bu's soldiers and horses step into Anyi City for half a step!
Half an hour later, the carriage returned to the city of Anyi. Zhou Long and Wei Zhongdao had been waiting anxiously for a long time, and when they saw Guan Yu getting off the carriage, both of them looked stunned, and they rushed towards Guan Yu one after another.
"Big brother, don't worry, the head of the Wei family. Everything has me. Have you already begun to carry out what I sent someone back to command? β
Before Zhou Long opened his mouth, Guan Yu first spoke sharply. Zhou Long and Wei Zhongdao saw that Guan Yu's expression was determined, and there was a situation where the landslide was in front of him and his color remained unchanged, thinking that he must have the confidence to repel Lu Bu. In this way, Zhou Long and Wei Zhongdao also calmed down a little. Zhou Long said first.
"Just now, eldest brother, I have ordered the five thousand soldiers in the city to start digging deep trenches outside the city. At the same time, he also informed the people in the city of the news of Lu Bu's soldiers and told them to prepare. However, many of the people among the second brother flocked to the county hall, and they all said that they were willing to contribute to the defense of the city. Second brother, what do you think? β
"At present, the 16,000 cavalry army of Lu Bu and Zhang Liao is rushing to Anyi, and the time is pressing. However, the enemy did not know when they would be killed, and these civilians were powerless, and they were afraid that they would be slaughtered if they encountered the enemy. In this way, the eldest brother arranged for them to dig this deep ditch within 500 meters, and our soldiers dug it 500 meters away. In this way, even if the enemy army arrives, the soldiers in front can buy the people time to flee into the city. β
"Okay, I see. I'll go back and make arrangements. β
Zhou Long nodded, and then turned around and returned to Anyi City. After Zhou Long left, Wei Zhongdao also opened his mouth.
"Second general, I have divided the family soldiers into two groups, one group to build arrows, and the other group to collect boulders and logs in the surrounding mountains and forests. In addition, I don't know where else the second general needs the help of the Wei family? The definition of the Wei family is undeniable! β
"The Wei clan is righteous. The enemy army has a huge number of troops, and there are the courage of Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, and I hope that the Wei patriarch can lend 1,000 Wei Jingwei and 2,000 elite soldiers for use. β
Although the Wei family had 120,000 private soldiers, these private soldiers could not be compared with the soldiers who fought on the march, and the main role of these private soldiers was only to protect a family. Therefore, its combat power cannot be compared with real soldiers at all, and if it really goes to the battlefield, it is afraid that an army of 3,000 people will be able to kill most of the private soldiers.
Of course, among the private soldiers of the Wei family, there are also elite teams, such as the Wei Jingwei, the soldiers in it are all the heirs of Wei Qing's henchmen, and the martial arts and tactics have been passed down from generation to generation, and they have a strong sense of belonging to the Wei family, and regard the honor of the Wei family as my life. And if you draw all the chiefs from the private soldiers, you can also raise 2,000 elite soldiers.
Of course, Guan Yu wants this, if the Wei family has four pillars to support, it will almost take the two pillars of the Wei family. However, Wei Zhongdao did not hesitate, and accepted it on the spot.
"The Wei family is deeply favored by the Wen champion, and it is the responsibility of the Wei family to protect Anyi. I will go back and make arrangements, and before tomorrow, I will hand over Wei's Jingwei and 2,000 elite soldiers to the hands of the second general. β
"I don't thank you, the Wei family's dedication to Anyi will never be in vain. When the third brother returns, I will report it one by one. β
Wei Zhongdao listened, smiled faintly and bowed to Guan Yu, and then left. Guan Yu returned to the carriage, escorted Cai Yan and Diao Chan back to the house, and then rushed out of the city alone and commanded the soldiers to dig a deep ditch.
The news of LΓΌ Bu's invasion of Hedong soon spread throughout Anyi City, and the people in the city were more indignant than fearful. Almost all of them were doing what they could, either helping the soldiers outside the city to dig deep ditches, or collecting boulders and logs in the mountains and forests around Anyi, or rushing to the Wei family to build arrows with the Wei family's family members and private soldiers.
And Wen Han has a cautious personality, he will take precautions for everything, Anyi is the governor of Hedong County, how can he not take precautions in advance. In fact, in Anyi City, there are many arrows, boulders, and logs needed to defend the city. However, Guan Yu didn't know if it would be a protracted battle this time, or if Lu Bu would unite with other princes to attack. Therefore, the more things needed to defend the city, the more stable Anyi will be.
Two days later, outside the city of Anyi, every 100 meters apart, there was a deep ditch, and the defenders and people of Anyi dug day and night, and the range of this deep ditch was about 800 meters.
At this time, Guan Yu was commanding the soldiers, while Zhou Long was commanding the people of Anyi. The deep ditches are like dragons lurking, and the soldiers and people are in the deep ditches, digging movements are consistent and neat, and every time they shovel down a piece of soil, they will shout in unison.
Suddenly, a scout with bloody armor, no helmet, and a disgraced mantle rode his horse at a gallop, and before he could reach it, he fell from his horse and shouted loudly.
"It's coming!! Lu Bu is here!! β
Guan Yu, who was commanding, saw that the scout was covered in blood, he knew that the big thing was not good, and listened to his shout, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly ordered the soldiers on the left and right to retreat three hundred meters, and then divided into two groups of people, one group stayed behind, and the other group protected the people of Anyi to go back to the city.
After Guan Yu gave the order in a hurry, all the soldiers immediately moved, and he led a few soldiers to run to the scout.
"Where have Lu Bu's soldiers and horses gone!?"
"Bing.. Two generals... Army, only in one mile... Outside... Our team... When he encountered Lu Bu's army, he set up... Evacuate at the moment, who knows that Lu Bu has it, and shoots arrows again and again, our team.. The soldiers were all shot dead. I was big.. Under the desperate protection of the family, he was able to escape.. Return. β
The scout was the fastest runner just now, and his teammates did not hesitate to use their bodies to block arrows for him in order to escape. However, what kind of character Lu Bu is, his archery skills are unique in the world, and he has the ability to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps. There was a red rabbit BMW when he sat down, and he shot almost all the soldiers from a distance. Later, he was considered fateful, and under the protection of his comrades, he narrowed the distance between him and Lu Bu, but it was still the same, and he was still shot in the helmet and chest by Lu Bu with an arrow, and finally escaped back with a hard breath to report the information.
Now that he has completed his mission, as soon as his nerves are relaxed, his mind quickly departs from his body, and he eventually dies. Guan Yu had a cold face, and asked the soldiers around him to carry away the body of this martyr, and then led the people back into the deep ditch.
Dada
Not long after Guan Yu left, not far away, he saw a martial artist wearing a three-pronged purple and gold crown, wearing a beast-faced head swallowing chain armor, sitting on a red and fiery horse, holding Fang Tian's halberd, running at a thunderous speed. Its terrifying and terrifying momentum is enough to shake the earth and retreat from the ghosts and gods.
The momentum of one person is enough to make all the soldiers left behind unable to stop being cold. And the people who retreated, when they saw Lu Bu's might, they were so frightened that they were about to break their courage, and they fled even faster, rushing to the city gate. The group of soldiers who maintained order on the side could not shake the chaos, and the situation was chaotic.
Guan Yu ordered the remaining soldiers to retreat two hundred meters, and then shouted loudly, the sound was like a bell, and Weihe shook the ground.
"Zhou Cang!! Take my weapon!! β
Zhou Cang, who was staying at the head of the city, heard Guan Yu's loud shout, his face tightened, and he hurriedly pulled out his scud legs and went straight to the city. At this time, Lu Bu saw from afar that a red-faced man wearing a parrot green robe and a dragon's head armor suddenly became hideous, and spewed out of his mouth word by word.
