Chapter XVIII: The Battle of Xiongguan 7
After a night of heavy rain, the summer heat had been swept away, and the refreshing wind blew through the cracks in the forest, and the wind was filled with the smell of leaves and earth. In the blue sky, there were a few unknown birds flapping their wings, flicking east and west.
In such good weather, the atmosphere in front of Xiongguan was tense and solemn, and it was already a situation that was about to erupt.
Wu Dingfang drove his horse forward, and Xue Zhaoyu kicked forward a few steps before standing still.
Wu Dingfang looked at the neatly lined Yunguo army not far away, squinting his eyes. He had to admire Wang Yanchang's decisiveness, last night Xiongguan was in chaos, the army's morale was weakened, and there were many poisons among the soldiers, and if he continued to hold on, he could only wait for his strength to be exhausted, and the best way was to use the soldiers' edge to fight against the water.
Wang Yanchang on the opposite side also rode a majestic war horse and stood at the front of the team, and today he not only had to dispatch the whole army, but also personally annihilated the enemy. He is confident that if he can't win all of them, he will definitely win or lose. He lifted the sword at his waist and looked at the white figure not far away.
Almost at the same time, Wu Dingfang and Wang Yanchang drew their swords respectively, the tip of the sword pointed at the enemy opposite, and the dantian was angry, and almost at the same time shouted "Attack!" ”
For a time, the soldiers shouted and killed, and the iron hooves of the war horses slammed into the ground, and the sound was like thunder.
Southern Tang Dynasty, outside Wanzhou City
Ye Honglie, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was wearing gold armor, a jade belt around his waist, and a sword inlaid with gold and jade on the left side, behind him was Ye Dong, the king of Ningjun, Ye Qi, the king of Anjun, and then to the back was Xie An, the left minister, and the right minister Gu Wenzheng.
"Qi'er, the hundred officials sent you to the outskirts of the city, not for anything else, just because you have a long way to go, you must not take it lightly, act according to your second brother's plan, you have been brave and capable since you were a child, dare to act, this time leading the army is not child's play, you must not be impulsive." Ye Honglie slowly opened his mouth to admonish, and also untied the sword at his waist and handed it over. The two sons behind him frowned when they heard Ye Nan.
In fact, after Ye Nan's letter reached the Southern Tang Dynasty, the whole country of the Southern Tang Dynasty had already started to mobilize troops, adjust food and salaries until today, and in just a few days, the Southern Tang Dynasty was prepared for war with incredible efficiency.
"The son will not be dishonored." However, the nineteen-year-old Ye Qi clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, and his majestic voice still carried the childishness of a young man. Ye Qi looks similar to Ye Nan, and his figure is similar to Ye Nan, the biggest difference between him and Ye Nan is his temperament, and the killing aura of a military general is very different from Ye Nan's scholarly anger.
After that, Ye Dong and Ye Qi's civil and military officials also stepped forward to say goodbye, and Yin Yin advised, and there was no need to say more.
Outside the three-sided city, the yellow sand is all over the sky
The trilateral city is located at the junction of the Northern Jin Dynasty, Zheng Wei and Chu State, so it is also named. Because this city was fought over many times by soldiers, it finally became a lonely city standing in the yellow sand, and there were few people. But today, the city is full of people and is very lively. These are the elite of the Chu State mixed with the soldiers of the Northern Jin Dynasty, although there are many people and mouths, they do not disturb each other, and they can be regarded as orderly.
Xu Yuan had already seen the outline of the three-sided city from a distance, and he had led the soldiers of the Cloud Country to gallop for six days, except for a break halfway, and had been traveling all the time, and it was indeed appropriate to say that people were sleepy and lacking at this time.
Xu Yuan has already thought about it, after the three-sided city is a large plain of Chu, which can be unimpeded, since the Chu army has not been mobilized for so many days, it is difficult to have a large number of troops to block, even if there is a small number of Chu troops, it is absolutely difficult to become a climate, and at that time, the troops will be directed at the Chu capital, and the Wuding side will be in a dilemma.
"The three sides of the city in front of the army will be reorganized for half a day, and then march with all their might." Xu Yuan ordered. He is still white-clothed and lightly-armed, elegant and chic, and has his own graceful bearing.
"General, there is an enemy ahead" Before the words fell, the soldiers in front came to report in a panic.
"Approximately?" Xu Yuan is not nervous, there will definitely be no large number of soldiers here, scattered soldiers, and they will collapse at the first touch, so there is no need to worry.
"The subordinates don't know, but it's a large team of people who stir up the dust." The subordinate said in fear.
"What?" Xu Yuan was shocked.
"Report, general, our scouts have come to report that the enemy army has about 50,000 troops, and they have completed the formation in the trilateral city." A sergeant came in a panic.
The military book that Xu Yuan often held in his hand landed. Yes, now the grass snake gray line in his mind is connected, yes, the enemy did not mobilize the soldiers because the mobilization has been completed, and the enemy has been waiting here for a long time.
"Yunguo, in danger," Xu Yuan muttered.
