A day ago, Xu Rong led his army out of Yuyuan Pass, made a surprise attack, and captured Yangcheng, the west gate of Yuzhou, in one fell swoop. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After taking Yangcheng, Xu Rong's troops did not stop, and sent Li Meng to lead a thousand elite cavalry, doubling the road, along Yingshui, straight to Yangzhai, where the county was located.

Li Meng's strange soldiers, taking advantage of the opportunity of the battle just won and the morale was high, marched all the way, and in less than half a day, they led the elite cavalry, quickly approached the city of Yangzhai, and began to prepare to attack the garrison outside the city.

At this time, Kong Ling in Yangzhai City was sitting in the hall to deal with military and political affairs, because of the recent rise of military affairs, military affairs are cumbersome, Kong Ling is an elderly person after all, after reading a dense official document on the bamboo slips, he already felt his eyes sore, and the officials who had performed in the hall had retreated, so Kong Ling simply put down the bamboo slips in his hand, closed his eyes, and wanted to take a nap.

When Kong Ling was half-asleep and his consciousness was blurred, suddenly there were noisy voices and chaotic footsteps outside the hall, this sudden sound frightened the confused Kong Ling, his arm against the bookcase struggled, and he swept down the inkstone, brush and a bunch of bamboo books next to him, and even his wide clothes were blackened by ink, which was particularly dazzling.

Kong Ling, who was originally woken up by the noisy sound, was in a bad mood, but now when she saw that her official uniform was stained with ink, her heart was even more angry, and she wanted to loudly scold outsiders.

But before Kong Ling could speak, the voices of outsiders had already sounded loudly.

"Envoy, urgent military situation, a brigade of Xiliang soldiers and horses was found outside the city!"

"What?"

Kong Ling didn't react for a while, thinking that he had slept deeply, and he had heard the wrong thing, and the person who came was his own driver, so Kong Ling hurriedly asked him to enter the hall and say it again.

"A large number of enemy horsemen were found outside the city, banners were all over the field, and dust was rolling, so that the king, the Xiliang soldiers had already killed the city!"

"Huh?"

When Kong Ling heard this, he suddenly got up, he hurriedly stood up, pointed to his other driver, and wanted to give an order, but he was nervous for a while, his throat seemed to be plugged, and he couldn't speak, when he raised his hand, the ink stained on the coat of the official robe was still dripping, but at this time, Kong Ling's face was already pale, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to these anymore.

Don't drive to see that Kong Ling was speechless, his face was ugly, and after he hurriedly came to his senses, he immediately went to find a sputum bowl and helped Kong Ling pat his back, before he spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm in his throat, Kong Ling immediately drank a few more sips of water, and then took a long breath.

"How about the six battalions of soldiers and horses outside the city?"

Kong Ling, who came back to his senses, hurriedly asked the soldiers and horses stationed outside Yangzhai City, these days, Kong Ling, the assassin of Yuzhou, also announced that he had joined the allied army of the Kwantung Dong, so in addition to letting the state soldiers step up recruitment, he also exercised the power of commanding the army of the assassin history, and recruited the county soldiers from other counties to come to Yangzhai to converge.

Under the rule of Yuzhou, there are six counties of Yingchuan, Runan, Liang, Chen, Lu, and Peiguo, and there are six or seven thousand soldiers and horses sent between the counties, and there are two or three thousand less, and the city of Yangzhai cannot accommodate so many soldiers and horses for a while, so Kong Ling let the soldiers from each county Cao Pengshi, each camp outside Yangzhai City, and the county soldiers from the six counties set up six camps according to the county, and the state soldiers in Kong Ling's own command were stationed in the city.

At this time, Kong Ling asked about the soldiers and horses of the six battalions outside the city, and was naturally afraid that the soldiers and horses outside the city would be directly defeated, and the Xiliang soldiers who came from the east would be able to attack the city directly.

Don't drive and answer:

"The cavalry of the Xiliang soldiers is very fierce, its vanguard took advantage of the unpreparedness of the soldiers and horses outside my city, and successively broke through the two camps of our army, fortunately, the soldiers of Chen Guojun County used more strong crossbows to resist the enemy, and forced the enemy cavalry to step on the camp back, and now the six battalions of soldiers and horses outside the city have gathered the defeated soldiers, exchanged voices, and are confronting and fighting with the Xiliang cavalry, and the situation outside the city is barely stable!"

Chen Guo's Chen Wang Liu Pet has martial arts, good at using bows and crossbows, known as able to shoot ten shots and ten hits, the Yellow Turban Incident in the first year of Zhongping, many officials in Chen Guo abandoned the city and fled, at that time Liu Pet had thousands of strong crossbows, so he recruited soldiers in the territory, stationed in Duting, guarding Chen Guo, and the people in the county center who had ghosts knew that he was powerful, no one dared to respond to the Taiping Road uprising, and Chen Guo relied on his strength to be preserved. Moreover, his minister Luo Jun is also a good minister who manages the people's government, and there is an endless stream of people who have fled to Chen State, and the number has reached hundreds of thousands.

This time to ask Dong, Chen Wang Liu Chong also responded to the Kwantung Prefecture, he called himself the general of the Fu Han Dynasty, while leading the troops stationed in Yangxia in the north of Chen State, in response to Chen Liu's allied army soldiers and horses, while sending Chen Guojun County soldiers to Yangzhai and Kong Ling convergence, Chen Guo's soldiers used more bows and crossbows, very elite, this time it was by them to repel the Xiliang cavalry that stepped on the camp.

"It's good to settle down, it's good!"

Kong Ling breathed a sigh of relief, what he said just now really startled him, and almost gave him the illusion that the Xiliang soldiers were about to attack the city, and now that the situation outside the city has barely stabilized, the Xiliang soldiers should not dare to attack Yangzhai City for the time being.

Don't drive and glance at Kong Ling, seeing that he has relieved his breath, knowing that the military situation is urgent and cannot be ignored for a moment, he hurriedly said:

"Envoy, although the situation outside the city is a little calmer now, it is only the forward of the Xiliang soldiers and horses who are repelled, and they are still fighting against each other at the moment, I am afraid that a large number of Xiliang soldiers will come soon, and we still have to plan early at this time!"

"Yes, yes!"

Hearing his words, Kong Ling, who had come to his senses, suddenly nodded again, and hurriedly said:

"Quickly, gather all the soldiers and horses in the city, close the gates on all sides, carry the equipment of the city guard, and go up to the city to defend it, and send people out of the city to tell the soldiers and horses outside the city, let them hold the camp, and do not abandon the camp outside the city. Well, also, gather all the officials in the palace and go to the hall together to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy! ”

After receiving the order, he answered the promise and hurriedly trotted out of the lobby to give the order. After a while, the officials in the city, such as Zhizhong, Gong Cao, and Cao Pengshi, hurriedly gathered in the hall one after another, and everyone knew that the Xiliang soldiers and horsemen were coming to the city, and they began to discuss the plan to retreat from the enemy.

Some people think that above the battle array, morale is the most important, and now the soldiers and horses outside the city have been attacked by the advance of the Xiliang soldiers, and the morale is greatly declining, at this time, the soldiers and horses in the city should be sent out to converge with the soldiers and horses outside the city, and the forward of the Xiliang soldiers will be repelled first, and then they can hold the city and defend against the attack of the main force of the Xiliang soldiers.

And some believe that the soldiers and horses outside the city have been broken by the Xiliang soldiers two camps, it is the time of demoralization, how can they still take the risk of sending troops, go to the field and the fierce Xiliang soldiers to fight, once they lose in the battle array, the retreating troops are afraid that even Yangzhai City can not be defended, so it is most appropriate to strengthen the soldiers and horses at the head of the city and strictly defend it.

In the past, when Kong Linggao sat in the hall and discussed political affairs and commented on characters with many officials, he was like a river of mouths and talked eloquently, and he also liked the officials to express their opinions, and he was good at listening to them, but today, seeing many officials arguing about the countermeasures to retreat from the enemy, Kong Ling, who was originally frightened, felt that his chest was dull and his headache was splitting.

In the end, it was a soldier Cao Shi who proposed that the current enemy situation outside the city was unclear after all, and it was not clear what the next plan of the Xiliang soldiers was, and it was uncertain whether they would fight or defend, so it was better to send someone to the city first, not only to boost the morale of the city head, but also to observe the situation of the soldiers and horses outside the city with their own eyes, and then everyone could make another calculation.

This is a compromise and safe way, listening to the gossip and arguing in the hall and listening to the upset Kong Ling's eyes lit up, and he said yes again, and immediately asked him to drive the car to prepare for the trip, and then he himself would personally go out and take many officials to the city to inspect the situation outside the city.

Don't drive the car that hurriedly went to prepare for the trip, and then Kong Ling was surrounded by a group of officials, and got into the exclusive car of the assassin history, accompanied by many traveling honor guards and horses, stirred up a lot of noise on the street, and hurried to the direction where the city wall was.

For a while, the people on the streets of Yangzhai City all paid attention to the frame of the assassin in a hurry, and they were talking about what was going on, coupled with the closed city gate and the mobilization of soldiers and horses, and the shouting and killing outside the city, many people soon smelled a trace of danger, and the pedestrians on the street were also in a hurry, hurrying home, and all kinds of gossip spread, and the hearts of the people in the city suddenly fell into panic.

Kong Ling himself naturally didn't know these things, and at this time he himself was also anxious, panting and standing at the head of Yangzhai's city, not caring that his official robe had been wet with sweat on his back.

His eyes followed the direction of the fingers of the accompanying officials, and saw that the original six camps outside the city were now only four, and the other two camps were emitting black smoke at the moment, and there was still a little fire in the camp, and the short fighting outside the city had stopped, and the dead bodies had fallen to the ground in the open space where the two sides had fought, and the wounded war horses were lying on the ground and wailing, just like the yellow spring in the world.

The soldiers and horses outside the city near the city wall who were guarding the camp were all mobilized at this time, gathered at the camp gate and fence, the swords were unsheathed, the bows and crossbows were wound, and they made the appearance of strict defense, but in the camp, the rout of the other two battalions that poured in has not yet been completely stabilized, like a frightened bird, there is a momentum of collapse at the touch of a button.

In the distance, a lot of Xiliang cavalry is roaring and riding horses back and forth, showing off their might in the direction of the city head and the camp outside the city, making all kinds of provocative moves, their horses are hanging a lot of human heads, from a distance, it looks like a small head Jingguan is moving, and there are more Qianghu cavalry who are stained with blood, are riding their horses madly, throwing arrows at the camp outside the city while throwing arrows from afar, while shouting all kinds of foul language in nonsense.

And farther away, among the dense trees, there are birds hovering in surprise, the enemy's flag looms, it seems that there is a large force of soldiers and horses ambushing it, and there are bursts of smoke and dust on the official road from the east, which is the situation of thousands of troops and horses are rushing forward.

Kong Ling and the Peng officials around him were all shocked when they saw this momentum outside the city, they were either famous men who were not good at military affairs, or natives of the Central Plains Prefecture, although they had also seen the situation of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but how could the chaotic Yellow Turban soldiers compare with these blood-drinking, fierce and abnormal Qinhu cavalry of the border county, for a while, the people at the head of the city also beat rapidly with the sound of horses' hooves outside the city.

Kong Ling was a little older, hurried to the city, already had sore hands and feet, at this time he was frightened, his legs were weak, and he almost fell to the ground.

Seeing that the Xiliang soldiers were so fierce, there was no one among the officials who dared to open the city gate to fight, and they all looked at each other and did not dare to speak out. Although Kong Ling was also frightened, he was a state assassin, and he was worried about the deterioration of the war outside the city, but he couldn't show it in front of everyone, so he could only stop at the head of the city in the name of inspecting the defense of the city wall, so that the soldiers at the head of the city could pay close attention to the movements of the Xiliang soldiers outside the city, and as soon as there was a disturbance, he would immediately report it to himself.

There were several skirmishes outside the city one after another, and when the sun went down in the evening, there were already many people among the accompanying officials who were so hungry that their chests were close to their backs because they were running back and forth, but the worried Kong Ling had not yet eaten half a bit of rice and water from the afternoon to the evening.

After the last rays of the sun were swallowed up by the night, the horn of the retreat of the Xiliang soldiers finally came from outside the city, and many officials at the head of the city were happy and ran over to congratulate Kong Ling, and the soldiers and horses outside the city finally dared to send scouts at this time to spy on whether the Xiliang soldiers really retreated.

As soon as the Xiliang soldiers retreated, the news outside the city and inside the city became smooth again, and the scouts sent by the soldiers and horses outside the city soon transmitted the information about the retreat of the Xiliang soldiers to the city, Kong Ling was still in the city at this time, in the light of the torches at the head of the city, he was holding his weak body, looking at the retreat direction of the Xiliang soldiers, and secretly prayed not to let these fierce gods and evil men kill here again.

So when he heard the information from the scouts outside the city, he was so shocked that he cried out:

"What, with such a big momentum outside the city, these Xiliang soldiers only have a thousand cavalry?"

Kong Ling shouted, but none of the officials and military officials around him dared to make a sound, and everyone lowered their heads in shame. Looking at the dead city, Kong Ling only felt that his headache was suddenly attacking again, and his whole head was about to crack.

He was annoyed and frightened at the moment, annoyed that there were only 1,000 Xiliang soldiers, and he was scared of his tens of thousands of troops inside and outside the city, and the people of the entire Yangzhai City were also worried and panicked.

Thinking of this, Kong Ling's chest rose and fell violently, and he was blown by the evening breeze with a little smell of blood, his eyes were dark, his throat burst out, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out directly, and the whole person immediately fell backwards.

"Envoy, envoy, go and get a doctor!"

Many officials and soldiers surrounded one after another, shouting and screaming, and the city was suddenly in chaos.

···

A few days later, Kong Ling was stunned by the Xiliang soldiers at the head of the city, and the news that he had fallen into a critical coma when he was rescued back to Fuzhong spread far and wide, and soon spread to the camps of the two sides of the confrontation.

When Dong Zhuo, who lived in Biguiyuan in Luoyang and was directing the relocation of the capital, received this piece of information, he laughed loudly, these governors and county officials in Kanto were really useless embroidered pillows, and before the war began, they were already half scared to death. At the same time, he also quickly ordered that the enemy in front of Yuzhou was no longer a concern, and only needed the imperial court to appoint another assassin, and Yuzhou would return to his control, and he asked Xu Rong to lead his troops to move to Chenggao, and instead guard against the allied soldiers and horses gathered in Yanzhou Sujuo.

At the same time, from Changsha all the way north, even killed Jingzhou assassin Wang Rui, Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi Jiangdong Tiger Sun Wentai, but also led the morale is strong, unstoppable Jiangdong Qu, Huaisi elite soldiers, Jing Chu Rui in Luyang and Yuan Shu to join the division, Yuan Shu for this powerful heavenly arm to help the general, naturally overjoyed, immediately promised, show Sun Jian as the general of the captivity, Yuzhou assassin history.

Therefore, just a few days after Yan Xing left Yangcheng with Xu Rong's troops, Sun Jian led his army to show off his might and drove into Yangzhai.

A bloody storm will unfold in the land of Yuzhou.
