Chapter 40 Achievement of the prestige of the erector

The Wei army camp on the other side of Pujindu

Three watches

"Let's go!" Qin Lang waved his hand in a low voice and said, and the Wei soldiers secretly walked out of the camp and quietly walked towards Pujin Pass along the pontoon bridge on the ferry.

It seems that the sky is helping the Wei army, this night the dark clouds cover the moon, the surroundings are as dark as ink, and the sound of the flowing water of the Yellow River drowns out the footsteps of the Wei army. However, this also brought a lot of difficulties to the Wei army, they could not see the road, they could only grope in the darkness like blind people, and they did not dare to raise their feet, so they could only hunch their bodies close to the ground, and slowly move forward little by little.

Qin Lang and Yang Fu, with the support of several cronies, slowly moved closer to the pass with their soldiers. Seeing that he had come to a place a hundred steps away from Pujin Pass, Qin Lang stopped, suppressed his violent heartbeat, and looked up at Pujin Pass carefully. At this moment, Pujin Pass is like a sleepy giant beast, and there are several dim lanterns hanging on the city tower, as if the tired eyes of the giant beast look listless. Qin Lang saw that his precautions were sparse, and he was secretly happy in his heart, after all, they were two yellow-mouthed children, lacking experience, and he couldn't imagine that the Wei army would sneak attack at night, and he was probably sleeping at the moment.

"Huh?" Several soldiers let out a low exclamation.

"What's the matter, report the situation quickly!" Qin Lang was startled and asked in a low voice.

After a moment of fumbling, the soldier replied softly, "No general, we just came across a pile of haystacks." ”

Qin Lang said angrily in a low voice: "Don't make a fuss! Be careful to disturb the enemy army, I will cut off your head! ”

Although he didn't understand how there could be haystacks here, Qin Lang still gave the order to attack, "Rush up for me!" ”

The soldiers in the front row got up and began to charge, "Ring, ring, ring!" Bell bell bell! Almost at the same time, there was a burst of noise from the soldiers who rushed ahead.

It turned out that they had come across a series of horse bells, which were the same ones that were connected between the piles of haystacks!

The sound of the bell was so loud in the silence of the night that it woke up the drowsy beast, and it let out an earth-shattering roar like a lion awakened!

Qin Lang's heart jumped to his throat, he raised his head, and was horrified to find that Pujin, which had just been quiet, was closed, and suddenly the lights were bright, the drums shook the sky, and the soldiers of the Shu army who were ambushed on the city tower jumped up, shouted in unison, and began to shoot a dense network of arrows to the sound of the bell.

This catastrophe that fell from the sky happened in an instant, it came so suddenly, so suddenly, so unexpectedly, that Qin Lang didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and was stunned in place. It wasn't until there were bursts of screams from the Wei soldiers around him that Qin Lang realized that he had been tricked. There were thousands more corpses in an instant, but this was not the end of the disaster, on the contrary, the real disaster had just begun.

I saw a group of Shu archers quickly appearing at the head of the city, holding torches, lighting arrows, and quickly shooting dense rockets towards the predetermined position. The rocket accurately shot onto the haystack, igniting a raging fire, instantly illuminating the open area under the city pass, and now the Wei army had nothing to hide, completely exposed to the range of the Shu army's field of vision! Many Wei troops were also hit by rockets, and they were strung around, exposing more Wei troops' positions, and the Wei army was in chaos in an instant.

Qin Lang saw that he could not succeed in tackling the fortifications, and if he dragged it out any longer, he was afraid that the whole army would be annihilated, so he had to grit his teeth and order the withdrawal of the army. But as soon as he turned around, he saw that the Shu army in the city tower set up a projectile again, and frantically looked at the Wei army in the formation and threw a bunch of pots and jars, and the strange thing is that many Wei troops were hit and were just wet.

Qin Lang grabbed a handful and sniffed it, and said in shock: "It's not good, it's tung oil!" "Qin Lang is really going to cry now, the Shu army is clearly going to burn them.

Sure enough, after a while, the Shu army began to throw fireballs again, mixed with dense rockets and repeaters. Pujin Guan instantly became a human purgatory, with thick smoke billowing and flames rising. The Wei army was on fire one by one, like coals of fire, rolling all over the ground, and just wanted to stand up and was pierced into a hedgehog by the dense rain of arrows. Heart-rending screams resounded across the riverbank, shaking for miles.

Qin Lang stood in place dumbfounded, muttering to himself: "It's over, it's over, it's all over......" suddenly drew his sword across his neck, and cried: "I didn't expect to achieve the prestige of these two boys today!" I lost my teacher and humiliated the country, what face do I have to see Your Majesty again, I can only die to thank the world! Yang Fu on the side hurriedly grabbed it and shouted: "The general must not!" Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and if the general kills himself, the morale of the army will be in turmoil, and I am afraid that the whole army will be annihilated! Come on, escort the general away! Qin Lang hung his head and retreated with the support of his own soldiers.

The Shu army on the tower of the city cheered when they saw the defeat of the Wei army, and Huo Yi was also ecstatic to look at his masterpiece. Seeing that the Wei army was about to flee the battlefield, he suddenly drew his sword and shouted: "Order, the cavalry will go out of the city with me, and never let the Wei army cross the river!" ”

Huang Chong on the side was shocked and said: "The art of war is cloudy, don't chase after the poor, besides, the prime minister has repeatedly told us to hold on, we have won a big victory and repelled the enemy army, is it too dangerous to rush out of the city?" ”

Huo Yi said confidently: "At this time and that time, the prime minister ordered us to hold on, but we didn't expect that our army could turn against the guest and defeat the Wei army. The Wei army has been defeated at this moment, and at this time, the pursuit will definitely be able to win a complete victory. Besides, there are many Wei soldiers, if they are allowed to escape across the river, it will not be long before they will regain their strength and come back again. Only by taking advantage of this opportunity to completely defeat and destroy the enemy army in one fell swoop can we bring real victory! ”

Huang Chong also nodded when he heard this, Huo Yi left Huang Chong to lead 7,000 soldiers to continue to defend the city, and he personally led 3,000 cavalry, wrapped in wet cloth, carrying bows and crossbow rockets to rush out of the city, and the Wei army was shot and killed, driving the Wei army all the way to the river, Huo Yi set fire to the pontoon bridge, and the Wei army was forced to fall into the Yellow River one by one. Huo Yi led the army to calmly shoot the Wei army on the shore, most of the Wei army were northerners, unfamiliar with the water, and there were arrows and crossbows to interfere, and they were buried at the bottom of the river. Qin Lang and Yang Fu held the saddle and swam across the river, embarrassed.

In this battle, the Wei army was almost completely wiped out, except for the three or four thousand rear army that was frightened and hurriedly crossed the river and retreated. Qin Lang and Yang Fu's personal soldiers were all killed in the battle, and they were only spared. Qin Lang was afraid that the Shu army would take advantage of the victory to chase and kill across the river, so he hurriedly withdrew his camp and fled. The Shu army killed more than 10,000 Wei soldiers and captured more than 20,000 prisoners. Huo Yi left a few prisoners to strengthen the city defenses, and the rest were all escorted to Luoyang Zhuge Liang to replenish the troops. Zhuge Liang was overjoyed, praised in his own letter, and named Huo Yi as the Marquis of Duting and the general of Zhenwei, Huang Chong as the Marquis of Guannei and the general of the Auxiliary State, and the rest of the meritorious soldiers were rewarded one by one. The second will finally get his wish, so, show his ambitions!

Here, Li Yan, who was hurrying slowly, finally led the reinforcements to arrive, and when he saw that the Wei army was actually defeated and retreated, he couldn't help laughing, and at the same time he was amazed by Huo Yi and Huang Chong, the two young heroes. After resting for a few days, Li Yan took a few high-ranking generals of the Wei army and took prisoners all the way back to Chang'an with great fanfare. Li Yan trumpeted the victory of the Shu army along the way, and showed off the strength of the tiger army, so that they all wore iron armor, and the iron cavalry of 5,000 was ten heavy formations, and the sun was shining brightly, and the army and the people were terrified. As a result, the Yongliang region in the northwest has settled down, and there is nowhere to dare to have riots.
