Chapter 720: All things are intertwined
Woo –
The horizontal army formation stretched for fifteen miles, accompanied by the desolate horn, advancing towards the city wall in front, on the not tall city wall, the soldiers ran and shouted, one shield after another was erected, and the wood and rolling stones were also moved out, and several Cao army generals looked at the big banner of the words "Lu" and "Xu" in the military formation, and their hearts were complicated. Half a month after the Jizhou East Route Army went south, the 120,000 soldiers and horses of the Beidi West Route Army in the Baibo Valley were partially supplied by Hedong County, and went all the way south to advance towards the Yucheng of Sili, compared to the battle situation in the east, the West Route Army was much easier, and arrived at the city wall at this time, ready to attack the city, as long as the Yucheng could go down the mountain, attack Shaanxi County on the north bank of the Yellow River, and then cross the river into Yanzhou.
However, the guards in the city are a little special, so that the arriving Western Route Army did not immediately attack, while manufacturing siege equipment, while sending 20,000 Xiliang troops to the north gate of Yucheng to blockade, Lu Bu on horseback looked at the city wall attentively, for a moment, nodded to his daughter, wearing a red feather crown, wearing a delicate beast head armor Lu Lingqi rushed out of front of the formation with a crescent halberd prancing horse, looking at the Cao army general standing at the head of the city.
"...... uncle, don't come unharmed!"
"It's actually Lingqi ....." Zhang Liao stood behind the battlement, his eyes stayed on the female general over there, his memory still stayed in the day of Xuzhou, many years have passed, and now he is a majestic female general.
"Uncle Wenyuan, it's going to be a war, and Lingqi doesn't want to fight you." The curly-haired red rabbit circled under the city wall, the cloak rolled with the move, and the woman's voice came to the city wall on horseback, "My father is in the Chinese army, if my uncle is nostalgic, he might as well go down the city wall and enter the camp to see the previous one, only the old man will tell me." ”
On the city wall, Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, Wei Xu and others also rushed over, "It's really Lingqi, look at the action of holding the halberd, this look and a word, it really has a bit of the style of Wenhou back then." ”
"Do you want to fight Lingqi? I can't do it. This is Cheng Lian's voice.
"If you don't fight, will you abandon the city? How did the prime minister explain it? Wei Xu was not moved by hearing the word Wen Hou, and waved his hand: "Don't forget, we are now under Prime Minister Cao Cheng, the original Wen Hou has died in Xuzhou, and now he is just a vicious dog grinning under the command of others!" ”
Zhang Liao frowned and glanced at him, raised his hand, Wei Yue wanted to refute, but when he saw the gesture, he glared at Wei Xu fiercely, and turned his head to the side. Here, Zhang Liao gritted his teeth and drank lightly: "General Wei is right, we are already Cao generals, so we should be loyal and observant, but...... Insulting the old master, he is not worthy of being in the same column as Liao, come on! Take him down—"
The surrounding soldiers rushed over, and Wei Xu subconsciously drew his sword: "Zhang Liao!" What are you doing! The blade was only halfway out of the sheath when he was kicked to the ground by Cheng Lian next to him, and three soldiers rushed up to flail him, struggling and screaming, "You want to rebel!" "Believe in Ren ...... in vain" and other words.
"I, Zhang Liao, naturally have to be worthy of the prime minister's trust!"
In a sonorous and powerful voice, Zhang Liao waved his hand and asked the soldiers to take Wei Xu down and lock him up, and then looked at the remaining three generals Wei Yue, Cheng Lian, and Song Xian, and arched his hand: "The old master is in front of him, but the prime minister also has the kindness to take me in and trust us, this battle!" Look at the three generals and do their best. ”
The three generals looked at each other and sighed.
Zhang Liao put down his hand, walked to the wall and looked at Lu Lingqi below, and his voice sounded: "Lingqi, go back and prepare for war, let my uncle see if you can be a good general over the years...... by the way, inform Wen Hou that the two armies are opposed, and it is inconvenient for Liao to see him." ”
"When the time comes, Lingqi will not show mercy!" Under the city, Lu Lingqi replied with her hand, and the crescent halberd flickered: "Then let's start a war, and I'll talk to my uncle when I get to the city later." With that, he galloped back into the array.
Then, the sky outside the city resounded with the sound of war drums one after another, and 150,000 soldiers and horses slowly approached. The wind blew through the city, and thousands of Cao soldiers defending the city watched the dense military formation move forward, and every time the opposite side came over, the shadow of death of the battle was slowly shrouded, and the body couldn't help trembling slightly in this process, because no one knew if they would survive the next siege battle.
Not long after, news came from the city, Zhang Liao thought it was just a military situation in a corner, just glanced at it, and his expression froze, Cheng Lian and Song Xian came up, and saw that his expression showed unprecedented seriousness: "What's the matter?" ”
Dingge's eyes finally moved, he handed the information to the two, Song Xian's eyes widened, and he raised his face suddenly: "The prime minister is seriously ill?" Cheng Lian next to him laughed: "It's okay now, when he dies, the favor is over, this battle doesn't have to be fought, just return to Wenhou, what do you think?" ”
The sound of war drums outside the city and Cheng Lian's hearty laughter seemed to have become everything around him.
"........ let's do it until the last minute." A hoarse and low voice squeezed out of Zhang Liao's throat, and waved his hand a little tiredly: "Go back to your respective armies...... The prime minister is on a day, and Liao will keep him for a day. Then he turned to the castle tower and sat down quietly.
Outside, the sound was buzzing and noisy, and the sky was pouring down with a rain of arrows.
On June 21, the 70,000 Cao army that crossed the Yellow River retreated in a bizarre rout in only a few days, and the generals in the army, Xu Huang, Le Jin, Li Dian and others formed a corner with Wei County, Yin'an, and Yecheng to intercept the defensive line of the soldiers and horses in the north going south, and at the same time, all parts of Jizhou also organized resistance forces one after another, moved the people outside the city, and destroyed the grain in the fields, so as to delay the speed of Gongsun stopping the south, but only delayed, the tense situation, and the sudden defeat of Cao Cao, made the battlefield that had concentrated the attention of the people of the world become confused.
The orange sunset fell on the top of the mountain, and on the walls of Yecheng, there were mobilized soldiers coming and going, and the civilians in the city who were recruited helped carry the equipment to defend the city. Xu Huang walked through with his hands behind his back, occasionally looking at the wilderness outside the city, and now he couldn't see the shadow of the North Subway hoof, but it should be soon.
"The last will hold this place until the lord waves his army north again."
……
Above Taihang, 30,000 black mountain foot soldiers walked down the mountains and mountains, and Yu Poison stood on the mossy rocks with a long knife, looking at the vast land outside the mountain and the towering fortified city.
In the wind, a demon-like voice gently floated out of his mouth, with a smile on his face: "Meet ..... Yecheng again." ”
……
Time turned over June, at the beginning of July after Yanzhou a team quietly returned to Xudu, when the news of Cao Cao's illness gradually spread, the north of Gongsun Zhi arrived in Yecheng fifty miles, the night was covered with stars, in the military tent, his eyes swept over the dense city on the map, and then called Li Ke, who was standing at the mouth of the curtain.
“…… The war has changed, the previous plan has been overturned, and the fast horse has sent a message to Zhu Gongdao, so that all the lines in Xu Duli can almost be moved, and the other ....." He took out a cat-shaped jade and threw it over: "It's the same with tanuki. ”
At the same time, the former eldest prince, escorted by Yu Ban and hundreds of soldiers, stepped into the boundary of Yuzhou.
