Chapter 544, Wei Yan broke through
Now Shouchun is surrounded by clusters in the east, west, north and south, which can be described as an iron wall.
LΓΌ Zhuo sat in Beishan and blocked the river, if the Jingzhou soldiers wanted to leave by waterway, they had to cross the river in Beishan by boat, but now, Beishan was in the hands of LΓΌ Zhuo, and the warships on the river were also burned.
Next, the situation became more and more bad for the Jingzhou soldiers, Lu Zhuo was not in a hurry to attack the city immediately, he had the patience of time, he could afford to drag it out, but Kuai Liang and these people definitely couldn't afford it.
After a long time, the people's hearts in the city will inevitably fluctuate, the morale of the army will be unstable, and the grain and grass will be increasingly consumed, and there will be no way to continue, and the people's hearts will be chaotic.
Seeing that Lu Zhuo was delayed in attacking the city, Kuai Liang became more and more restless, and his morale became increasingly low, many people complained in private, and the people in the city were also anxious.
Wei Yan took the initiative to ask for help, because the previous attack on Beishan was repeatedly frustrated, Wei Yan felt both unwilling and guilty, so although this task was arduous, he took it seriously.
Kuai's conscience was very relieved, and repeatedly advised, "Wen Chang, you have to be more careful." β
"Don't worry, it's okay!" Wei Yan puffed out his chest and said proudly: "It's not that Wei Yan is boasting, I want to go out of the city, Xuzhou doesn't look at the crowd, it will definitely not stop me." β
"Good!" Kuai Liang nodded repeatedly.
Wei Yan decided to go out of the city from the east gate, after nightfall, just after the second watch, suddenly the east gate opened, and a team of Jingzhou soldiers rushed out of the city, the number was not much, about a few hundred people, out of the city gate was less than a few hundred steps away, suddenly Zhang Liao's camp in the distance gongs and drums rang out in unison, and there was a heaven-shattering shout, "Someone wants to break through, stop them." β
The Xuzhou soldiers cheered and surged up like a tide, they moved quickly, like a tiger wolf out of the cage, violent, murderous, Wei Yan didn't expect the Xuzhou soldiers at the east gate to be so vigilant, I have to say that Zhang Liao has a good way to govern the army, and he has not relaxed at all.
It didn't take long for Wei Yan and these people to be surrounded, Wei Yan wore the costume of an ordinary soldier, even if Zhang Liao came, he didn't find Wei Yan, Zhang Cheng and Liu Bao, the two lieutenants of the Jingzhou soldiers, took the lead in breaking through in front, and Zhang Liao's attention was focused on them.
In less than three or five rounds, Zhang Liao split Zhang Cheng under the horse, and the Jingzhou soldiers who broke through the siege also suffered a lot of casualties, Wei Yan was mixed in the crowd, still silent, but he was already prepared, the hand holding the knife was green and tendony, at first glance he was just an ordinary cavalryman, and those Jingzhou soldiers were desperately hugging Wei Yan's side.
You can't blame Zhang Liao for being careless, whether the enemy breaks through at night, or whether the two armies are fighting, whoever changes will also focus on the enemy's main general, Wei Yan wears an ordinary dress, mixed in the crowd, not conspicuous, not dewy, not conspicuous at all.
How could Zhang Liao guess that Wei Yan was mixed in? As soon as Liu Bao was killed, suddenly Wei Yan urged the horse to rush over, Wei Yan was ready to attack, Zhang Liao was caught off guard, and after a little stunned, Wei Yan had rushed to the front, and the slasher was a knife.
Zhang Liao hurriedly raised the big knife, with a loud bang, the blade almost flew out of his hand, Wei Yan was unforgiving, and the attack was quite fierce several times, forcing Zhang Liao to retreat again and again, taking advantage of this opportunity, Wei Yan went straight forward to kill the past, and he broke out of the encirclement with a bloody way.
The reason why he hid in the crowd and pretended to be an ordinary cavalryman was not that Wei Yan was afraid of Zhang Liao, but just a trick, Wei Yan had always been resourceful and never disdained to act impulsively.
Seeing Wei Yan fight out of the encirclement, Zhang Liao beat his chest and choked his wrists, very remorseful, Wei Yan urged the horse all the way to fly, not only one day to Xiangyang, the situation here is also quite bad, Jiangdong troops are like broken bamboos, even down several cities, Kuai Yue is also worried about this, after seeing Wei Yan, knowing the battle situation of Shouchun, Kuai Yue sighed helplessly, "Wen Chang, you came just in time, go back and tell my brother, let him quickly lead the troops to break through, Shouchun we don't want it, Huainan doesn't want it." β
Kuai Yue is completely different from Kuai Liang, he is very bold and good at winning by surprise, while Kuai Liang is more stubborn and rigid, the great Huainan said don't want it, Kuai Liang has never thought so.
Wei Yan saw that Kuai Yue was so resolute and there were indeed no reinforcements to send, Wei Yan shook his head, and had no choice but to return to Shouchun.
If you want to enter the city, it is not so easy, Wei Yan does not plan to enter the city, so he simply secretly shot an arrow into the city outside the city, and a letter was hidden on the shaft of the arrow, and he told Kuai Liang the meaning of Kuai Yue in his heart.
After Kuai Liang read the letter, he was stunned for a long time, he was really reluctant to give up Shouchun so easily.
Just like a thrifty housekeeper, even if the things at home are worn out, they are reluctant to throw them away.
After thinking about it for a long time, Kuai Liang had no choice but to gather Huang Zhong and the others together to discuss together, Huang Zhong was not as stubborn as him, and nodded busily and said, "Military Division, since there are no reinforcements to send, we won't be able to take care of this Shouchun sooner or later, it's better to take advantage of the fact that the soldiers have not mutinied, break through quickly, and beware of changes later!" β
The longer it drags on, the more morale will be shaken, and there is no point in seeing that there is not much grain and grass left, and it will continue to dry up.
Kuai Liang sighed: "Is it just to give Shouchun to them so plainly?" β
Huang Zhong twisted his silver hair in his hand, and his tiger eyes suddenly lit up, "I have a plan, I don't know what the military advisor wants." β
"Hansheng, if you have something to say, just talk about it." Kuai Liang hurriedly asked.
Huang Zhongdao "As the so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, except for the north gate, we can open any city gate, if the Xuzhou soldiers enter the city immediately, we will take the opportunity to go out of the city." β
Kuai Liang was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "Why is this?" I hope the old general will solve his doubts. β
Huang Zhong explained, "Now they are eager to rush into the city immediately, if we open the south gate, if Zhang Liao immediately enters the city, just imagine, the troops outside the south gate, there must be not much left, and the Xuzhou soldiers of the other three city gates, in such a short period of time, can not arrive in time, we concentrate our forces to sink and break through from the east gate, it is not easy." β
Kuai Liang seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and asked, "What if Zhang Liao doesn't bring troops into the city?" β
Huang Zhong smiled, "Then close the city gate immediately, and then open the other city gates." β
Huang Zhong's method is to test the reaction of Zhang Liao and others outside these city gates one by one, once the city gates are opened, maybe someone will make meritorious contributions and will immediately lead troops into the city, which is a God-given opportunity for Huang Zhong to break through.
"Okay, that's a great plan, so get ready so quickly!" Kuai Liang immediately nodded in agreement.
Huang Zhong left a small number of Jingzhou soldiers on the city wall, gathered most of the people together, all of them were on standby in the city, and then, let people open the south gate, Zhang Liao has always been cautious, seeing the south gate open, Zhang Liao was unmoved, there was no reaction at all, he knew that there must be a conspiracy here.
With a bang, seeing that Zhang Liao didn't take the bait, the south gate was immediately closed again.
Before Zhang Liao could send someone to remind the others, the east gate opened again.
