691, Pear Blossom Qishuai attacked the city, and Lu Fang broke through the siege for help
Seeing this, Guo Kan's face couldn't help but change, Yang Lin's bravery greatly exceeded his expectations, he didn't expect to besiege him for so long, and he didn't take him down; And now Lu Qian led 5,000 soldiers and horses in Ruyin City to come to the rescue again. The appearance of such a new force directly tore a hole in Guo Kan's encirclement.
Lu Qian led the army to fight hard, joined the other four Taibao, and finally rescued Yang Lin.
Guo Kan looked at Yang Lin who was far away, and shook his head very regretfully, "It's a pity to let Yang Lin'er escape today!" ”
At this time, Jiang Jiang and Yang Yanqi also rushed over, dismounted one after another, hugged their fists and pleaded guilty: "It's the last general who is incompetent and failed to leave Yang Lin behind, please supervise the crime!" ”
Guo Kan waved his hand, "This matter is not your business, Yang Lin's old man does have some ability!" However, after this battle, Yang Lin's troops were greatly damaged, and I am afraid that he could only lie dormant, and Zhu Wen was broken, and Yang Lin could not support it for too long. Besides, General Fan Lihua has already begun to attack the city at this moment, right? Our army is also quite hard in this battle, so we will rest for a few hours for the time being. ”
Since Xie An saw through Yang Lin's wishful thinking, he immediately began to arrange an ambush, and at the same time, Guo Kan also realized that this was a good opportunity, and immediately sent someone to inform Fan Lihua's army in the west of Ruyin City, asking her to wait until dawn to raid Ruyin West City.
After Yang Lin led his troops to retreat to Ruyin City in a panic, the inspection army lost most of the 10,000 soldiers and horses, and only less than 4,000 people returned to the city, and Yang Lin was even more tired and almost out of strength. Yang Lin was already dead, and Lu Qian had already invited a medical officer to treat him, and then let Yang Lin rest for a while.
After Lu Qian settled everything, suddenly a soldier defending the city hurriedly ran over, and shouted in a panic: "Report, report to the county guard, Xicheng, there are a large number of enemy troops attacking, please make a decision!" ”
When Lu Qian heard this, his face changed, and he hurriedly walked out, and immediately sent an order to let the soldiers who had just been brought out of the city climb the city wall again to defend against the enemy's attack; And Yang Lin and the other defeated soldiers and horses rested temporarily. At the same time, he asked people to inform the four Taibao and go to Xicheng to defend together, but Yang Lin himself was tired and out of strength, so he did not tell him the news of the enemy's siege, and let him rest first for the time being.
As soon as Lu Qian came to the city wall, he found that the enemy's attack had begun, and the general who was the leader was Fan Lihua, and at the same time, Fan Lihua's younger brother Fan Zhe, holding a pair of sledgehammers, was frantically smashing the city gate.
"Drop! Detected Fan Lihua's skill Qi Shuai triggered, force +1, intelligence +2, command +3, the current Fan Lihua force increased to 96, intelligence increased to 92, and command increased to "
"Quick, block me, go and don't let the enemy attack!"
Lu Qian realized the urgency of the matter, if Fan Lihua broke through Ruyin, it wouldn't be long before Guo Kan's army could follow closely and attack, and in this way, Ruyin would be lost. If Ruyin is lost, then the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in this city will have no way out, and then Guo Kan and Fan Lihua will be able to drive straight into Xu Du and directly threaten Xu Du.
After a while, Lu Fang and the other four Taibao also hurried over, and Lu Qian asked them to disperse separately and lead the soldiers to defend against Fan Lihua's attack. At this time, Lu Fang arched his hand to Lu Qian and said: "County guard, now that my father-in-law is injured, the matter in the city depends on the decision of the county guard." Originally, General Zhu Wen was in Xiyang and General Wen was in Quhe, so they could be horns for each other. Now that Ruyin City is in danger, General Zhu has fled, and General Wenpin is still in Quhe, why not send someone to ask for help? ”
When Lu Qian heard this, he sighed and replied very annoyedly: "If it wasn't for your reminder, I almost forgot!" It's just that I don't know who to send to break through to deliver the message now? ”
Lu Fang arched his hand and said: "If the county guard believes in Lu Fang, the last general is willing to break through and go to ask for help!" ”
Lu Qian looked at Lu Fang with some concern, "General Lu just came back from a night of fighting and hasn't rested yet, how can Lu bear to put you in danger again?" What's more, General Lu's physical strength is inevitably exhausted, if there is any mistake at that time, how can I explain to General Yang! ”
"There is no one else but me! Otherwise, we will all die here; In that case, let me try my luck! ”
Lu Fang's organization was very clear, his tone was categorical, Lu Qian nodded, and said earnestly: "General Lu, now that the enemy army at the West Gate is attacking urgently, this gate must not be passed; At the south gate, Guo Kan's army is still there, and it is not safe, so it is better to take the north gate and make a detour to find General Wenpin's support. ”
When Lu Fang arrived at the north gate, he opened the city gate, he rode his horse and galloped wildly, and ran out directly, and the north gate was only a few dozen soldiers of the Iron Blood Army, and when they saw someone coming out, they hurriedly got up and wanted to intercept it. But they couldn't stop Lu Fang, so they heard someone shouting: "General Fan has an order, no one is allowed to escape from Ruyin City for help, hurry, hurry up and stop him!" ”
When Lu Fang heard this, he was overjoyed, and with a wave of his spear, he picked up all the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army who intercepted in front of him, and after a while, he rushed out of the defense of these soldiers, like a tiger that had escaped its shackles, and ran into the distance.
After Lu Fang fled, not long after, he saw a horse slowly coming to the north gate outside the city, and those soldiers guarding outside the city saw the people hurriedly came to salute and said: "I've seen Zhang join the army!" ”
Naturally, this person is Zhang Wu, since he married Fu Shanxiang, he spent a few months of honeymoon with his wife in Xiapi, and recently because of the war again, he returned to Ran Min's side again.
Seeing that many soldiers fell to the ground groaning in pain, looking like a mess, he hurriedly asked, "Is there an enemy general who has broken through?" ”
Those soldiers looked at each other, but they didn't dare to hide it, so they had to kneel down together, and reported the truth: "Please join the army and spare your life!" The person who came was extremely brave, I couldn't wait to stop him, so I let him escape, and I hope to join the army to forgive my sins! ”
Zhang Wu smiled, waved his hand to get them up, and then turned the horse's head and said, "You are not his opponent, and it is normal." Now that you've escaped, forget it! ”
Fan Lihua's siege lasted only a little more than an hour, and the defense of Lu Qian and others was indeed difficult to capture urgently.
Looking at Fan Lihua giving the order to withdraw the army, Lu Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief, at this time the sky was already bright, looking at the Fan Lihua army that had retreated neatly outside the city, Lu Qian's brows were tightly furrowed, he knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
After Yang Lin fell asleep, he suddenly had a nightmare that woke him up all of a sudden, he sat up and immediately shouted loudly, at this time a servant came to greet him, Yang Lin hurriedly said: "Quick, let Lu Fang and Xue Liang come, I have something to explain!" ”
The servant looked at Yang Lin a little embarrassed at this time, and didn't know how to answer for a while. Yang Lin didn't have such good patience, and shouted loudly: "Tell me quickly, what's going on?" ”
