Chapter 12: Black Clouds Crush the City
Everything happened under the city tower too suddenly, even Yang Wei didn't expect these people to suddenly attack, although he didn't see the scene of Li Xian being killed, but Li Xian rashly went down to the city, and the situation was probably not good at this time.
"Sound the trumpet, gather the troops!" didn't have time to think about it, Yang Wei hurriedly took people down to the city, Li Xian couldn't have an accident, not only because of his duties, but more importantly, once Li Xian had an accident, a battle between Li Dao and Ye Zhao was inevitable.
Yang Wei's reaction was not unpleasant, but Rao was so, when he rushed to the city, Li Xian was already strewn through the streets, and the war horse that had lost its owner was surrounding the headless corpse at a loss.
"The thief is bold!" Yang Wei was furious when he saw this, picked up the Santing machete in his hand and turned over on his horse, and rushed straight to Wei Yan.
Seeing that someone was killing again, Wei Yan hurriedly ordered someone to release an arrow to inform Guan Yu, and with a loud roar, the big knife in his hand slashed at Yang Wei in a strange arc.
"Bell~"
The two slashed together, bursting into a spark, Wei Yan's body shook, almost shook off the horse's back, Yang Wei was also numb in his arms, and looked at this young general with some surprise, at a young age, his arm strength is not weak!
immediately shook his spirits and fought with Wei Yan.
Wei Yan's sword technique is passed down from his family, which is quite exquisite, and he is not weak in the army, but he is younger after all, his martial arts have not yet been completed, and he lacks experience in battlefield fighting.
And Yang Wei, although his background is not high, but today's status, are all killed by a knife, experienced, a knife and a style may not be the most subtle, but it is definitely the most applicable, for a while, the two will meet a good talent, chess opponents, and it is difficult to kill.
However, Wei Yan was too young after all, not as old and spicy as Yang Wei, and after fifty years in one, he gradually fell into disadvantage, and as the two fought, more and more Xiliang troops rushed to this side.
Wei Yan couldn't help but be anxious when he saw this, this was a hurry, the tricks were even more messy, and Yang Wei sold a flaw, which led to the middle door wide open, seeing Yang Wei fall with a knife, he couldn't help but be horrified, and hurriedly pulled the reins of the horse, sat down and stood up, Yang Wei originally slashed at his knife, fell on the horse, and killed the war horse, Wei Yan took the opportunity to roll off the horse, but lost the war horse, and it was more difficult to be hostile to Yang Wei.
Seeing that Wei Yan was forced to be embarrassed by Yang Wei, behind him, the sound of hurried hooves sounded, Yang Wei and Wei Yan in the field didn't even know what was going on, one person and one horse, they had already entered strongly, and the sword light was together, Wei Yan and Yang Wei trembled their arms at the same time, and the big knife in their hands was almost shaken away.
"Sigh Rule~"
With a piercing neighing sound of horses, the incoming war horse suddenly stood up, and at the same time, a green dragon glaive sword was raised high and fell towards Yang Wei.
Yang Wei was horrified in his heart, and hurriedly raised his knife to greet him.
"Bang~"
There was another loud bang, Yang Wei's scalp was numb, he felt a buzzing in his head, and his hands holding the knife could barely lift up, and at this time, Guan Yu's third knife began to fall, Yang Wei watched the blade of the Green Dragon Glaive Knife continue to become clear in his sight, and he let out a roar unwillingly.
"Poof~"
The helmet was split, and Yang Wei was almost cut into two pieces by Guan Yu with a knife, and to death, You Zi looked at the front unwillingly.
Wei Yan watched in a daze as Guan Yu slammed the knife to the ground, on the bluestone ground, there was a trace of spider web-like cracks, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time, from Guan Yu's appearance to killing the enemy general, but the three knives added up to only one breath of time, and the enemy general who almost killed himself was in Guan Yu's hands, but he couldn't even survive the three, so he was directly killed.
The surrounding Xiliang soldiers were horrified when they saw that the two main generals were all beheaded, and the soldiers and horses brought by Guan Yu did not enter the city until this time, rushing towards those Xiliang troops like a torrent.
The courage has been lost, the morale has been discharged, and the two main generals have been beheaded, how dare the remaining Xiliang army dare to fight again, flee in a swarm, or ask to surrender, Guan Yu did not make another move after killing Yang Wei, and calmly commanded the soldiers to quickly occupy the high ground and collect the prisoners, as for the fleeing enemy army did not pursue, the purpose of their trip was to capture this Longxi.
"Shogun Kamui!" Wei Yan took a deep breath and bowed to Guan Yu with admiration.
This gift is extremely sincere, not only because of Guan Yu's ability, but also because Guan Yu saved his life, if it wasn't for Guan Yu's first knife to swing the two people's knives away, even if Guan Yu beheaded Yang Wei, Yang Wei's knife could not kill Wei Yan, it could still seriously injure him.
"Clean up the enemy, collect the thieves, and send someone to inform the lord!" Guan Yu nodded indifferently, handed over the Qinglong Glaive Knife to Zhou Cang beside him, and looked around.
"Whoa!" Wei Yan had relieved himself at this moment, heard the words and bowed down to receive the order, ordered the men and horses to ride the war horse of Li Xian to the city, there are 3,000 garrisons in Longxi, it is impossible to rush all of them, and there are still many troops gathering in this direction, although the city is broken now, the enemy army in the city needs to be cleaned up as soon as possible.
However, with the death of Li Xian and Yang Wei, these Xiliang army, which had been raised by Li Xian and only knew how to oppress the people, did not have much will to fight at all, and after spending half a day, the resistance of Longxi had been extinguished, although occasionally there were sporadic sounds of fighting from the city, but the overall situation had been decided, and some resistance was powerless to reverse the situation.
And when the news of the fall of Longxi reached Ye Zhao's side, it was already the next day.
……
"Lord, Yun Chang has broken through Longxi, our army needs to break through Tianshui as soon as possible, echoing Yun Chang from afar, before we can take this Longyou land in one go!" Xu Rong was overjoyed when he heard the report, and said to Ye Zhao.
"This Wei Yan is a talent!" Ye Zhao nodded, Guan Yu's ability, Ye Zhao knew it, but Wei Yan, who was just seventeen or eighteen years old, had an absolutely remarkable performance in this battle.
"It's just that this person is quite rebellious!" Ji Ling shook his head and said.
"Capable people, it doesn't hurt to be rebellious, if you are rebellious because of it, you will abandon it, that is a pity, now the world is in chaos, what is the most precious? City? Population? No, the city can be captured, the population can be recruited, and it can be born by itself, in this troubled world, the most precious thing is such as your group of talents, who is not arrogant? If you can do things, I can accept it, but if it is only because of its rebelliousness, I will abandon the talent. Ye Zhao said with a smile.
"It's just that this person is rebellious, except for the lord, I'm afraid that others will be difficult to control." Xu Rong shook his head, he was a little unhappy with Wei Yan's performance in stealing the limelight that day, there is no one in this tent, how to fight, don't they know, they want you to be a little fart boy to show off?
Confucianism emphasizes humility and moderation, and Wei Yan's performance is obviously contrary to the inherent concept in everyone's hearts, and it is no wonder that these people reject Wei Yan.
"So send him to Yun Chang and find someone more arrogant to suppress him." Ye Zhao said with a smile.
Wei Yan is very arrogant, but Guan Yu is obviously more arrogant than Wei Yan, and the most important thing is that Guan Yu fought in the south and the north, and he has reputation and meritorious service as his confidence, so it is natural to be proud, and Wei Yan is a little lacking in confidence, so he is reckless, and he is assigned to Guan Yu's command, and he also hopes to use Guan Yu's arrogance to suppress Wei Yan.
"Order: Ding Li and Fang Yue, you can attack Tianshui, how about the generals go with me to watch the battle? See how powerful our army's new weapons are on the battlefield! Ye Zhao got up and smiled.
"Whoa!" When the generals heard this, they got up one after another, and the various improved weapons of the Shengong Battalion had already been powerful when they fought against the Southern Barbarians before, but after three years, the Shengong Battalion had also made a lot of things one after another, so they took this opportunity to take a look.
Ding Li and Fang Yue led an army of 10,000 people, already stationed near Wudu, just waiting for Ye Zhao's order, they immediately launched an attack on Tianshui, this time the two of them were full of strength, ready for a big battle, it was when Ye Zhao's order arrived, the two got up overnight and rushed to Tianshui.
……
Hu Feng, like Li Xian, is also Li Dai's nephew, but the relationship is farther away than Li Xian, Li Dao is suspicious, and it is difficult to trust the generals under his command, so the two main cities in the rear of Longyou are in charge of his own nephews.
Hu Feng is different from Li Xian, he still has some skills, Tianshui has been thriving since he took office, but he has not been as miserable as Longxi.
In the early morning, the sky was just bright, the thin morning light was gradually dispersed by the morning sun, Hu Feng had just woken up from his sleep, and saw a personal guard rushing in hurriedly, bowing down and saying: "General, the big thing is not good!" ”
"Nonsense, Lao Tzu is very good!" Hu Feng rubbed his head and scolded, hearing this unfortunate remark early in the morning made him feel bad.
"It's not...... It's not the general, it's outside the city! ”
"What's wrong outside the city, don't panic, the sky is falling, and Lao Tzu is staring at it!" Hu Feng took the handkerchief handed by the concubine and began to wash.
"In the north of the city, a large number of Shu troops have appeared, and they are moving towards our city!" The guard took a deep breath and bowed.
"How could the Shu army be here?" Hu Feng sneered and shook his head, then kicked over the copper basin the next moment, threw the handkerchief on the maid's face, and quickly put on the armor: "Don't say it early, quickly, gather the soldiers to go to the city!" ”
"Whoa!" The guards agreed, and ran out quickly, Hu Feng put on his clothes and armor, took his weapons and hurried to the north gate with the help of several generals.
Ding Li and Fang Yue did not march in a hurry to avoid being discovered, carrying all kinds of new siege equipment, slowly and firmly towards Tianshui, this time, they were not to steal the city, but to defeat the enemy army in a dignified manner, so that until Hu Feng arrived at the city tower, the Shu army was still a long distance away from Tianshui.
"Why is the Shu army here?" Hu Feng looked at the marching speed of the Shu army, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this day in the water city, there are more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, just defend the city, it is still no problem, but there are some doubts about the sudden appearance of the Shu army here, and hurriedly let people take advantage of the fact that the enemy army has not yet besieged the city, go out of the city to Longxi to report, let Li Xian lead the army to help, no matter what, retreat the enemy first.
