Chapter 517: An Encounter Under Nightfall

"No... Wrong... Checkmate! That's not the Shu army!! Li San, who had sharp eyes, suddenly exclaimed.

Wei Song was stunned for a moment, and looked up again, only to see a small village in front of him where the fire flickered, and there was a military fence around the village.

If you look closely, there are many military flags established in the middle of the small village, but they are not the black and reckless military flags of the Shu army, and the cyan banner with the words "Tongzhou" written on them.

"Haha! It's Xiaojiagou! Let's go to Xiaojiagou! Stationed in front of the village is the Tongzhou army! ”

Wei Song shouted loudly, and his voice was a little hoarse under the great sorrow and joy.

Li San was also delighted: "General! Let's hurry up and enter Xiaojiagou! ”

Wei Song didn't dare to think about it, and as soon as he raised his hand, he led his men to the village in the ravine, and at this time, the Shu army that followed closely behind was still three or four hundred steps away.

Wei Song led his subordinates and pushed dozens of material wooden carts to the ravine frantically, and the rumbling war drums sounded in the ravine village, and suddenly the fire flowed, and countless figures climbed to the wall.

Wei Song asked Li San to ride a war horse to the front of the village first, Li San didn't dare to get too close, only dared to stop outside the range of the bow and arrow, and shouted: "Lord Ji is here?" ”

After a while, someone on the wall replied: "It's Li San??" ”

It was the same state master Ji Yan who spoke, and Li San was overjoyed when he heard this, and shouted: "Master Ji! It's me Li San! My general Wei Song defected to Tongzhou and came, hurry up and let me go in! ”

Ji Yan on the wall of the wall did not immediately open the gate of the wall, but was silent for a while and then asked in a loud voice: "Have you brought that batch of Shu-made armaments?" ”

Li San replied: "All the supplies have been brought!" He turned around and pointed to the back and said hurriedly: "My lord, let us in quickly, the Shu army will catch up, and the supplies will be snatched back by them if it is too late!" ”

Ji Yan looked up when he heard this, and sure enough, he saw that Wei Song and the others were chasing behind him, and he no longer hesitated, and quickly opened the gate of the village with a wave of the officers and soldiers of the Tongzhou Army.

Seeing this, Li San turned around and shouted to Wei Song, who was waiting for the news: "General! Master Ji has opened the door of the village, hurry up and get in! ”

Wei Song was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to desperately drill into the Tongzhou Army Village.

Wei Song and others had just entered the gate of the wall, and the Shu army also happened to kill, Ji Yan hurriedly ordered the soldiers to quickly close the gate again, and then everyone was ready to meet the attack of the Shu army.

The Shu army chased to the front of the village, and saw that there was a military village in front of them, and the figures in the village were obviously quite a few people, so they stopped hundreds of steps away.

After a while, a general came out of the Shu army and shouted at the wall: "I am Yuan Liu, the cavalry captain of Shu Zhongting, where are the soldiers stationed in front?" ”

Ji Yan raised his eyes and saw that there were thousands of torches in the Shu army's array, and the number was about three or four thousand, and this group of Shu troops wanted to quickly catch up with Wei Song and others, and they did not carry bed crossbows, trebuchets and other siege equipment.

Ji Yan had a number in his heart, so he replied loudly: "This official is the head of the same state, Ji Yan, and he is stationed here on the orders of my family counselor. ”

After a pause, Ji Yan said again: "This is already the territory of my same state, why did the Shu army come here?" Do you want to invade my territory? ”

Yuan Liu's face turned cold, and he tugged on the reins of the horse to appease the somewhat restless war horse under his crotch, and shouted coldly: "Lord Ji misunderstood, Yuan Liu was ordered to chase down the traitor Wei Song and his subordinates, and he did not offend Lord Ji. ”

Although Shuzhong and the Tongzhou government have always been at odds, since the Qinzhou War, Yang Yi ordered the soldiers of the Shu army not to easily create friction, so Yuan Liu had to say it at this time.

Who knew that when Ji Yan heard this, he smiled and said: "That's the case, Ji Yan hasn't seen any rebel fugitives, General Yuan should please go back!" ”

Yuan Da was furious: "I obviously saw Wei Song and the others fleeing into your village, didn't Lord Ji open his eyes and tell nonsense?" ”

Ji Yan snorted coldly: "I said I didn't see it, I didn't see it, besides, isn't it possible that your master is the emperor?" Whoever is a traitor is a traitor? ”

"You..!" Yuan Liu is just a martial artist, and he is the opponent of a literati like Ji Yan in words, and he doesn't know how to answer for a while.

"Master Ji, Yuan Liu will ask you a word, do you pay or not, don't make trouble, when the time comes, you and I will not be able to deal with each other when we go back!" Yuan Liu gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"Ji Yan was ordered to be stationed here, and his duty is to guard the territory and defend the territory, if Lord Yuan is interested, please go back."

Ji Yan is not afraid at all, he has more than 5,000 people under his command, and he is guarding the village, how can he be afraid of the more than 3,000 lightly armed soldiers of Yuan Liu.

Yuan Liu's face was cold, and he didn't understand that Ji Yan was determined to protect Wei Song and the others, and he didn't say much at the moment, and dragged the reins of the horse back into the military formation, and at the same time said loudly: "Array!" Prepare to attack! ”

Ji Yan sneered, and almost at the same time ordered: "Beat the snare drum!" Get ready to meet the enemy! ”

The well-trained Shu army quickly lined up in formation, and as the rumbling war drums gradually became urgent, the Shu army launched an attack on the Tongzhou military camp.

"Kill !!!"

The deafening shouts of killing resounded through the valley, and thousands of torches lit by the two armies illuminated the entire Xiaojiagou.

The Shu army pursued Wei Song this time, all lightly armed, not to mention heavy equipment such as crossbow carts, and even shields were extremely limited.

Therefore, the attack of the Shu army, which had always been in the dark eye, did not go well.

In the first wave of attack, when the Shu army had just stepped into a distance of more than 100 steps from the Tongzhou military camp, bows and arrows were fired on the wall of the Tongzhou military wall, and the unconcealed Shu army had to retreat, and at the same time dropped more than ten corpses.

In the second wave of attack, Yuan Liu ordered the soldiers to extinguish the torches and disperse the assault, but when they finally attacked the wall, the Tongzhou army on the wall threw countless stones and sassalwood after Ji Yan's order, and the Shu army, which lacked climbing equipment, could not even climb the wall.

Yuan Liu had to order the Shu army to retreat again.

"Hahaha!" Seeing that the invincible Shu army that fought all over the world couldn't even touch the gate under his hands, Ji Yan was in a good mood, and couldn't help but point to his subordinates beside him: "The world-famous Shu army is nothing more than that!" ”

"Your Excellency is mighty!"

"The adult is a famous general in the world, and the Shu army is just a wallpaper in front of the adult."

The subordinates came down together, and Ji Yan laughed happily, caressing his beard under his chin in the evening breeze, as if he was confident.

And on the side of the Shu army, Yuan Liu scolded his mother directly, when did the Shu army suffer such a?

I only heard Na Ji Yan smile and said: "General Yuan, please go back, if you lose all the soldiers under your command, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the King of Shu will have to die of anger." ”

Yuan Liu was furious, and immediately prepared to order another attack on the village, but the deputy general who was calm next to him said: "The general is still angry, although the words of Ji Yan are hateful, but what he said is not unreasonable, if we lose all the people here, I am afraid that we will not be able to deal with it when we go back..."

Yuan Liu said angrily: "Damn it! Could it be that Wei Song was taken away by this Ji Yan? So many of our supplies are still in his hands! ”

The adjutant general thought for a while and said: "General don't worry, we don't have siege equipment at this time, and it is really difficult to attack the walled gate, and I see that Ji Yan is waiting for it here, and there are a lot of defending equipment, so it is obviously prepared, and it is really not wise to attack at this time."

The last general thinks that we should withdraw for the time being, and then come with enough siege equipment, how can this small camp stop us? ”

Yuan Liuqi whirred, but he also knew that what the deputy general said was not unreasonable, although this Xiaojiagou did belong to the territory of Tongzhou, but in the past, there was no Tongzhou army stationed here, and Ji Yan coincidentally stationed here when he was chasing Wei Song, obviously premeditated, if he forcibly attacked at this time, he would definitely suffer a big loss.

Yuan Liu took a deep breath, calmed the anger in his chest, glanced coldly at the Tongzhou military camp, and finally almost squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Collect the troops!" ”

Immediately, the Shu army methodically gathered its formation, and then slowly retreated towards the mountain road from which it came, and finally disappeared into the mountain forest.
