PS: Chapter 2, I'm embarrassed to ask for a monthly pass.

……

Zhixiao feels that he is prosperous today.

Wei's salt boat successfully reached the river outside Wen County, and approached the river bank in the dim light of the evening, when the fishing boat had already returned, and it was expected that it would not be discovered, but Zhao's sentinels still found them at the first time. The boat patrolling the river lit a thick smoke of artemisia to inform the shore that there was an anomaly, and Zhi had the boatman sink the patrol boat, and then accelerated the landing.

They directly let the boat rush onto the wide river beach - the Zhi clan did not have no battle in the water, they and the Wei clan were the vanguard of the attack on the Qin state, where in addition to the pontoon bridge, there were also boats directly landed in the west of the river, although no matter which time, there was no Qin Mugong's "rafting battle" spectacular.

Therefore, the Zhishi Hexi soldiers were very skillful in disembarking to fight against the Zhao army who rushed in, Wen County was as his younger brother Zhiyao guessed that it was extremely empty, all the soldiers who came were old pawns and small soldiers, and the resistance was not formed, and the sparse crossbow machines could not withstand the hundreds of dense bows and arrows of the Zhi clan, relying on the advantage of long-range firepower, they quickly rushed to the river bank, and advanced step by step.

Although the Zhao army was at a disadvantage, they were not defeated, and they kept trying to inflict damage on the Zhi army, until they found that there were no more port buildings to use as cover nearby, so they accelerated their pace and ran back to the city.

As the drawbridge was raised, Zhixiao knew that he had won the victory of the landing, and the subsequent ships were arriving, and the first division was going to try to attack this city with empty defenses, which was the main town of the Zhao clan, and it would be of great significance if it could be captured.

However, after starting the attack, Zhixiao felt that even though it was empty, Wen County's resistance was still fierce, not inferior to Jinyang and the eldest son.

Zhao's crossbow machines were more able to inflict damage on attackers when defending the city, and the biggest threat to them was the three trebuchets placed on each wall, and the rubble and masonry were constantly thrown, killing and injuring several people if they were not careful, so that Zhixiao did not dare to approach within two hundred steps. He looked at this city full of fangs and claws, and was at a loss, although the momentum was huge, but Wen County could be described as impregnable, and the doctors and ladies in it were actually worried for half the night.

The Wenxian city wall in the dark is like a towering mountain range, and if you want to break through, you must pay the price of blood, and if you storm a corner, Zhixiao is expected to lose a thousand people, maybe more, which is of course not feasible.

So Zhixiao was not in a hurry, he let some people stay by the river, and others went around the city to find weak points, such as the Water Gate. After finding it, the main direction of attack was shifted to the water gate to the south: this was the only way for the small boats in the city to go to the port and to the great river.

The city probably did not expect that there would be an enemy attacking the Zhao clan's main city, although many people were recruited to go to the city, but it was a little chaotic, not at all like a well-organized defense.

Zhixiao believes that with his luck tonight, he may really be able to break through the fragile water gate in front of him, enter the city, and see the true face of the Zhao family's beauty......

However, just as he asked the soldiers to set up a posture, and was about to use their shields to block the rubble thrown by the women, children, old and weak at the head of the city, and to open the water gate, he heard a burst of exclamations from behind the battle!

The wind blew wildly from the east, making the wind and sand blind, and Zhixiao thought that this was the cause of the chaos, but the wind soon stopped, but the sound did not stop, and some people kept subconsciously turning back.

He also turned around, wanting to reprimand and take military discipline seriously.

However, I saw that far, far away, maybe ten miles, maybe twenty miles away, there were one fire dragon after another.

A large army, and no matter how optimistic Ren Zhixiao is, he doesn't believe that it is an army sent by the Qi people after defeating the Zhao family. This army lit the torches of the night march, and stretched out across the plain like a serpentine, as if to make the dark sky burn!

It looks like, like a huge burning bird......

And closely, the identity of that army has been revealed......

"Woo......"

The sound of a low horn suddenly came from hundreds of paces away, and with the help of the torches of his own side and the head of the city, Zhixiao saw the fierce iron-hoofed beast striding out of the night, the head of the horse was densely packed, and on the horse's shoulders were knights in the saddle, they were either holding spears, or wielding light bows, or wielding ring-headed iron blades.

Three neat rows of cavalry, all dressed in fine leather armor and small hats. It's not just a team of scouts, it's an army. They are horse bits, people are silent, close to within two hundred steps before revealing their whereabouts, quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit, once started, they will move forward!

Three-two-one, with three short horns, the cavalry quickened and began to charge in this direction......

And the earth began to tremble......

Zhixiao felt it, the high city wall in front of him, and the whole world he knew, trembled, trembled to his heart, trembled to his liver, and trembled in his heart.

He has no achievements to catch up with his younger brother, and let his father boast of his heroism once, because he has heard of the terrible cavalry of the Zhao family. There are only two or three thousand people under his command, and he can't afford to stop Zhao from riding at all! It only takes a thousand cavalry to come and trample on it, and the soldiers will be defeated! When the time comes, under the attack of the Zhao army and the guards in the city, I am afraid that the whole army will be annihilated.

Run, run!

A voice in his heart said to him.

Zhixiao involuntarily snatched the whip of the emperor and whipped the horses fiercely, driving them to escape from death!

"Retreat, retreat, go to the river, get on the boat and leave!"

……

The horses galloped on all fours, the knight bowed down, the spear in his hand was flattened, the bow and arrow were drawn into a half-moon, and the ring-headed sword was pointed diagonally downward, ready for the baptism of blood.

There was no need for Zhixiao to give an order, the Zhibing who had already formed a queue began to disintegrate and collapse automatically, and the cavalry of the Zhao clan roared into the sky, and when the sound of horses' hooves resounded through the sky and overshadowed the cheers on the city, and overshadowed the golden drums of the Zhao army's march in the distance, the fear in the hearts of these Zhijun all exploded.

But there were also some people who didn't react at all, their legs and feet didn't obey the call, as if they were filled with lead, they couldn't lift up, they stood in front of the wall in a daze, and they could only use their bodies to meet the violent impact.

The cavalry swept like thunder, and the next moment, the horse collided with the man, knocked out of the gap, and in just an instant, the corpses were all over the ground, the wounded soldiers and the horses that had fallen were desperately struggling and neighing, and where the collision was concentrated, the soldiers were like fragile glass, smashed to pieces by the fierce iron hammer!

Those who reacted slowly became substitutes, and the rest began to frantically jump over the ravine, cross the small river that flowed out of the water gate of Wenxian County, and fled to the big river under the leadership of Zhixiao.

The men behind him shouted and neighed but never went away, but gradually approached, and Zhixiao knew that his soldiers were constantly being harvested by the cavalry that rushed like a tide, and they only took advantage of the night, and fled towards the harbor where the ships were moored.

After fighting for half the night, it is about the third watch now, although the night ship is very dangerous, but it is better than becoming a ghost under the hoof!

Looking back at the rout, Zhixiao sighed secretly, and his mood was extremely low, he originally came to Wen County with longing, but he met the Zhao army who came back to help. He was satisfied that he could bring a thousand people on board the ship this time, and he was afraid that there would be a situation where the Jin army killed each other in order to fight for boarding the ship during the Battle of Yi......

Before I knew it, it was raining lightly in the sky again, and the raindrops were getting heavier and heavier, and gradually turned into hail the size of a little thumb! One after another, it looks like the sky is full of snowflakes.

This is the usual weather in June and July, but Zhixiao and his defeated soldiers have suffered a lot, of course, the ground has become slippery and difficult to walk, and it will also increase the speed of the pursuit of the rear pursuers, at least there is no need to worry about the cavalry.

A glimmer of hope ignited in Zhixiao's heart.

However, after waiting for half a moment, Zhixiao, who arrived at the riverside port, was dumbfounded, and they didn't even have a chance to kill each other and get on the boat, because the ship moored in the port of Wenxian County had disappeared without a trace!

The more than 100 people who stayed behind were embarrassed, and the captain came over with a sad face to complain: "Gentleman, Lu Xingfang of the Wei clan just came by boat, and he said that the Zhao army was crossing the river in the east and wanted to cut off his generation so as to cover the gentleman's siege of the city, so he couldn't help but say that he drove our remaining soldiers off the boat and went downstream with the fleet!" ”

……

"In the past, I went back, the willows are still around, and now I think about it, the rain and snow are falling...... It's really timely. Feeling the coolness of Xiaoice's hail on his back, Zhao Wuxian refused the robe, and he wanted to dress up like the soldiers to inspire them to speed up their pace, instead of running away under the trees in a hurry. The 20,000 army is behind, and the cavalry will go in advance to repel those who touch the Zhao family's scales, if Yu Xi can't even break up with two or three thousand people with a thousand cavalry, he can raise his head to see him, so Zhao Wuxian is not worried at all, but this group of troops, if they catch a cold in the wild, it will not be good.

He asked the herald to go and shout loudly: "Wen County is ahead!" Waiting for us are the Kunfu brothers, the eaves sheltered from the wind and rain, the sweet and sour slurry water, and the warm and dry bedding! "And the woman on the bed!" It was Tian Ben who roared, and many people laughed, and then burst into tears.

"Home!" Although many people's homes are not in Wen County, but arriving here, it is equivalent to the end of a four-month journey, the men from all over the territory of the Zhao clan have sour eyes for a while, when they leave, the wheat seedlings are green, and when they come back, the corn is almost ripe, and they also have the luxury of never fighting, so they live a good life.

"That's right, we're home."

Mr. Dongpo of later generations said that this place of peace of mind is my hometown, and the person who can let him, who has experienced the past and present lives and has a scarred heart, is in the city, quietly waiting for him to return.

He's finally home again!
