Volume 2 The Battle of the Yellow Turban Chapter 230 Re-enlistment
Updated: 2012-12-28
This meeting was held for a short time, and it was basically Ling Yan announcing the attack order and assigning the respective tasks of the personnel.
Ling Yan said to the generals: "This time, General Zuo led his troops to attack Jiyin City first, and the certainty of breaking the city will be even greater!" We can't lag behind, I have decided to lead the army to attack Jiyin City immediately! If the city is broken quickly, it will directly attack Dingtao City! ”
All the generals under the ranks, each with different expressions on their faces, You Heng stood up and said, "General Yan, is it inappropriate to attack the city in such a hurry?" ”
Zhang Yi also said: "Yes...... General Kuai and they have not yet come, if we attack Jiyin City and Dingtao City immediately at this time, it seems a bit hasty...... Our soldiers and horses don't know if they can hold it. ”
Ling Yan smiled: "You don't have to worry, I have also thought about this problem, but General Zuo has dispelled all my doubts, originally I also thought about adjusting it first, waiting for General Kuai and them to enter the city, and then discuss the matter of entering the army, but now things have changed, Sun Xia has fled, so now I can't come according to the plan." The best way is to send troops as soon as possible, and capture Sun Xia again when he has not fully informed the enemy of the news of our army, so as to make up for our losses! ”
Hearing Ling Yan say this, Guo Yan, who was standing at the end, looked very embarrassed and guilty, stood up and hugged his fists and said, "General Yan...... Right...... I'm sorry, it's the last general who has not fulfilled his responsibility to defend the city, and the blame for General Sun's escape is on me...... Please...... Please punish the general for the last general......"
Ling Yan said with a smile: "General Guo, it's okay, I don't blame you, this matter has little to do with you, since he can escape from prison, he will naturally have a way to get out of the city, even if the general is staring at the city, it is estimated that you can't stop Sun Xia if he wants to leave...... Hehe...... "In order to ease Guo Yan's mentality, Ling Yan made a joke in the end.
Guo Yan's face regained a little calm, and after thanking Ling Yan, he suddenly showed a resolute look, and asked, "General Yan!" The last general deeply felt the grace of the general's forgiveness, and was willing to lead his troops to attack Jiyin City, break through the city, and make meritorious contributions! If...... If you can't break through the city, then you will be willing to die on the battlefield to repay the general's kindness! ”
Ling Yan looked at Guo Yan's expression as if he was about to die, and felt that Guo Yan was very funny, so he couldn't help but laugh a few times: "Haha, General Guo, it's not so serious, this time there is no need for General Guo to enter the army, this opportunity will be there in the future, leave it for next time!" This time, I will lead the army to meet General Zuo, General Guo, and you will guard the city with General Zhang Yi and General Zhang Min. ”
Guo Yan looked at Ling Yan very gratefully: "Yes!" The last general will definitely defend the city to the death! Never fail to live up to the general's trust! ”
Ling Yan couldn't help but laugh and looked at Zhang Yi and Zhang Min: "Please ask the two generals to guard this city, one is to wait for General Kuai and the others, and the other is to prevent the enemy army in Dingtao City from sending troops to attack this city." ”
Zhang Yi and Zhang Min clasped their fists and said, "Yes!" Please rest assured, the general will do his best to protect the city! ”
Ling Yan nodded with satisfaction: "Very good...... The rest of the generals will go out of the city with me and kill Jiyin City!" Grain and grass also went with him. ”
The generals clasped their fists and agreed.
After the meeting ended, Ling Yan asked the generals to prepare first, but Zhang Min did not leave.
Ling Yan asked, "General Zhang, is there anything else?" ”
Zhang Min said with some hesitation: "General Yan, this siege, I don't know if you can attack it?" ”
Ling Yan didn't understand what Zhang Min meant, and smiled: "I don't know, it should be able to, right?" What, does General Zhang have any concerns? ”
Zhang Min swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "The last general thinks ...... I thought that the general would send General Zuo alone, and let all his guards escort him, I am afraid that ...... I'm afraid ......"
Zhang Min said two "fears", but he didn't say what the "fears" were, Ling Yan smiled: "General Zhang can say anything he wants, don't worry about anything." ”
Zhang Min seemed to have gained some courage, and hesitated: "The last general will not dare to slander...... If what the last general said was wrong, then if these words fell into the ears of General Zuo, he would never spare the last general's ......."
Ling Yan smiled and beckoned to Zhang Min: "General Zhang, then you come to my ear and say, no matter what you say, I will never tell others." ”
Zhang Min took two steps forward, but he didn't get in front of Ling Yan, maybe the dogma of humility made him dare not do that, but he still leaned over, got as close to Ling Yan as possible, and whispered, "General Yan...... The last general thinks ...... If General Zuo got up...... Dissenting, the general is afraid...... There's nothing you can do, right? ”
Ling Yan smiled: "General Zhang, this is what you are worried about?" ”
Seeing that Ling Yan didn't pay attention to it, Zhang Min couldn't help but feel a little strange, and nodded in a daze.
Ling Yan said with a smile: "I have also thought about General Zhang's concerns, but I am sure that I let General Zuo go out of the city first." ”
Zhang Min was a little puzzled and said, "Why is General Yan so sure?" ”
Ling Yan smiled, there are some things, Zhang Min is not involved, so he doesn't know, but Ling Yan doesn't plan to tell Zhang Min those touching past events when he is about to leave the city, so he said: "General Zhang, don't worry, I have my own plans for this matter, I have observed General Zuo for a long time, after a few things, I trust him more and more, although I can't reach complete trust now, but I will never doubt that he will defect in battle, I also believe that if he has different intentions, There is no need to wait until now to betray me, after his internal qi recovers, if he wants to kill me, there are opportunities everywhere, and if he wants to kill me, it will be easy, I will never be able to live. ”
Ling Yan said so much, just to let Zhang Min dispel his concerns, but looking at Zhang Min's expression, he still seemed to be very hesitant, and looked at Ling Yan with a confused face.
Ling Yan smiled: "General Zhang, after the attack on Jiyin City and Dingtao City, I will have the opportunity to tell you those things again, after you hear it, you may have a different opinion of General Zuo." ”
Zhang Min nodded stunned: "Uh...... It's ......"
Ling Yan asked Zhang Min to go back and prepare first, and then he also prepared his equipment.
In fact, he didn't need to prepare anything, the focus was only to check whether the strange stone on the moon slasher was strong, and whether the pistol had enough bullets.
Ling Yan flicked the strange stone at the tip of the Moon Slashing Knife with his hand, and the strange stone seemed to have grown on the back of the knife, motionless; Ling Yan took out the pistol again, unloaded the magazine and looked at it: there were not many bullets left in it, so Ling Yan took out the box of bullets in reserve and filled the bullets on the magazine.
After Ling Yan finished doing this, he then put on soft armor and outer armor - these two life-saving clothes, Ling Yan was not used to wearing them when he first came to the Three Kingdoms, but after the experience accumulated from many battlefield baptisms, he still felt that although this armor was bulky to wear, it was still safer to wear, and there was a greater hope of survival.
After everything was ready, Ling Yan ordered the soldiers to eat a full meal.
After eating, Ling Yan led an army of five thousand to go straight out of the city and go straight to Jiyin City. There are only more than 3,000 people left in the city, and some of them are Yellow Turban generals.
Ling Yan did not divide the front army and the rear army this time, Lu Gong, You Heng, Wen Ping, Yang Feng and others all marched with him, because Colonel Zuo broke through first, Ling Yan was very confident in him, so he had no precautions on the way, and he just wanted to go to Jiyin City quickly.
There were no incidents along the way, and Ling Yan urged the army to speed up the march from time to time.
After marching for a few hours, but there was no return from the scouts ahead, Ling Yan felt a little uneasy in his heart - in fact, even he didn't know where this uneasiness came from, it stands to reason that Colonel Zuo was the vanguard, and he led his own guards, so he naturally wouldn't send a soldier back to report to him, and with Colonel Zuo's character, he wouldn't think of sending someone to report the situation, these thoughts were normal.
Although these are all reasonable to think about, Ling Yan may have been used to sending scouts to investigate the enemy situation in front of him, so no one reciprocated this time, so he was a little uneasy.
So, for the sake of safety, Ling Yan sent a few fast horse scouts to explore the road first-those fast horses were also given to those scouts.
After sending out the scouts, Ling Yan felt a little relieved.
You Heng saw Ling Yan's thoughts, and said in a low voice, "Brother Xian, do you still have doubts about this trip?" ”
Ling Yan had to nod: "Hmm...... Perhaps, but ...... Come to think of it, maybe there's nothing to worry about. ”
Wen Ping picked up the words: "General Yan, if the last general takes the first step to investigate the situation, the general will follow, so that the front and back can echo each other." ”
Ling Yan originally felt that this was unnecessary, but after thinking about it, although Colonel Zuo was powerful, no one knew how many of the generals of the Yellow Turban Army were more powerful than Colonel Zuo, so Colonel Zuo might not be 100% victorious, and this treasure may not be completely bet on Colonel Zuo.
Thinking so, Ling Yan decided to let Wen Ping take the lead with a thousand light horsemen just in case.
There was nothing unusual on the way to the march, and the scouts sent by Wenpin reported that there was no enemy ambush along the way; And the scouts sent by Ling Yan also said that everything was normal.
At midnight, the former army detectives reported: "General Wen has arrived one mile outside Jiyin City, and there are no soldiers and horses guarding the city. ”
Ling Yan became suspicious, and hurriedly discussed with You Heng: "Brother You, this is ...... What's going on? ”
You Heng also frowned: "Perhaps...... Is it General Zuo who has broken through Jiyin City? ”
Lu Gong was puzzled: "If this is the case, then it will be too easy to break the city!" ”
You Heng also nodded: "What General Lu said makes sense, maybe there is fraud in this!" ”
As soon as You Heng said this, Ling Yan also became alert: "Could it be ...... The left school has already been defeated? ”
You Heng shook his head: "Perhaps...... This thief has rebelled against the enemy, and is waiting for us to ......."
Ling Yan still didn't believe that Colonel Zuo would lie to him: "No, no, General Zuo will definitely not do this!" After saying that, he replied to the scouts: "Go and inform General Wen quickly, don't act rashly, I'll be there soon!" ”
The scouts took the order and left, and Ling Yan hurriedly ordered to speed up the march.
After a short time, another probe returned: there were no ambushes outside Jiyin City, and the gate of Jiyin City was also wide open, as if there was no one guarding it.
Ling Yan was taken aback, while You Heng said to Ling Yan in surprise: "Brother Xian, there is fraud in this!" Opening the city gates is not normal, and we must not fall for the enemy's plan! ”
At this time, Ling Yan thought of the "Kong Ming Kongkong City Plan to Break Sima Yi" in the story of the Three Kingdoms, although this is a fictional plot of the Three Kingdoms, it may not appear in historical facts, and it may be a strategy used by other generals, but it does not mean that the Yellow Turban Army here will not use this strategy!
As soon as Ling Yan thought of this, he immediately became nervous, and hurriedly ordered the scouts: "Report to General Wen, let him be sure to look outside the city, and don't enter the city rashly!" ”
The scouts hurried away.
Originally, Ling Yan was already very nervous now, but the situation of another probe returning from a short time made him even more nervous: Wen Ping had already led his troops into Jiyin City!
Wen Ping sent a scout to report back to Ling Yan when he decided to enter the city, so that scout didn't know what happened after Wen Ping entered the city.
When Ling Yan heard this, he was so frightened that he was covered in a cold sweat, and he didn't have time to return anything to the scouts, so he hurriedly ordered the army to advance at full speed, and to march to Jiyin City within half an hour!
The soldiers and horses marched at full speed, Ling Yan was anxious, and he was also worried about Wen Ping's safety, so he didn't say anything along the way, just wanted to come to Jiyin City as soon as possible.
When he could vaguely see the figure of Jiyin City in the darkness in the distance, Ling Yan was a little relieved: Jiyin City was still pitch black, and he could not hear any sound of fighting, nor could he see any corpses of soldiers in front of him.
However, at this time, You Heng's expression was even more solemn, he frowned, and said to Ling Yan: "Brother Xian, there is still no movement in the city, this is definitely not normal, we must be careful!" ”
Ling Yan nodded, his eyes were fixed on Jiyin City, although he agreed with You Heng's reminder, but he still inevitably had some doubts in his heart: If it was really an ambush set up by the Yellow Turban Army, then where is Wen Ping now? Wen Ping led more than 1,000 soldiers, it is impossible to wipe out the whole army in such a short period of time, and if Wen Ping really fell into the Yellow Turban Army's strategy, in terms of Wen Ping's martial arts, it is impossible to obey immediately, even if there is no trace of fighting on the road, then at least there will be some movement in the city, and it will never be so calm!
Ling Yan calculated that from the time the scout reported Wen Ping to lead the army into the city to the present, he came to the outside of Jiyin City, and the distance between him would not be more than an hour, and he had already ordered to hurry up, and it was estimated that this time should only be half an hour - half an hour, even if the enemy army opened the city gate to "catch turtles in the urn", it would be impossible to "catch" it so cleanly and quickly! Unless......
As soon as he thought of "unless", Ling Yan felt a little uncomfortable, what he thought of was that unless the other party was a person with a deep martial arts and internal qi, it would be possible to subdue Wen Ping instantly! Wouldn't it be worse if that were the case!
But this thought was just a flash of thought, Ling Yan thought about it, this situation was unlikely, because Colonel Zuo had said that there were no powerful people in the defenders of Jiyin City, and this city was also located in the middle of nowhere, so there shouldn't be any Yellow Turban masters here, right?
However, since the last scout who reported Wen Ping to lead the army into the city came, no scout has come to report the military situation again, which also made Ling Yan very suspicious!
The more he thought about it, the more confused his brain became, and at this time, Lu Gong made a more practical suggestion: "General Yan, no matter what, let's march quickly!" Maybe General Wen is already in trouble! ”
Ling Yan was urged by Lu Gong to recover his train of thought and hurriedly said, "Okay! Accelerate your march! ”
The soldiers and horses were getting closer and closer to Jiyin City, and Ling Yan's nerves were getting tighter and tighter.
By the time the soldiers and horses came to Jiyin City not far away, Ling Yan's nervousness had already reached the highest point - the gate of Jiyin City was still wide open! And it's dark in the city!
Ling Yan hurriedly lowered his voice and ordered the soldiers: "Get ready for battle!" As he spoke, his hand did not touch the handle of the moon-slashing knife on his waist, but he held the pistol behind him with his backhand - in a critical moment, the pistol was indeed much better than the moon-slashing knife.
With Ling Yan's order, the sergeants were all ready to meet the enemy from time to time.
But Ling Yan still didn't see any movement around him, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he left Yang Feng behind him to hold down his position, and led Lu Gong and You Heng to the city first, shouting at the city: "General Zuo? General Wen? ”
Ling Yan's approach, although even he knew that it was extremely unfavorable to him, he really couldn't bear it. He planned to shout first, and if there was no answer from the city, he would lead his army into the city, and he would not be ambushed or not!
But Ling Yan's shout was immediately answered, but not in response, but at the head of the city, dozens of torches suddenly appeared, and at the same time, dozens of soldiers appeared on the head of the city.
Ling Yan was taken aback by this sudden light, he didn't have time to think about anything else, he raised his hand and pointed his pistol at the center of the city - he felt that all the main generals, if they appeared at the head of the city, almost without exception, would stand in the middle position.
But this time, Ling Yan miscalculated - he was only halfway through the calculation, that is, he counted that the generals would appear, but he did not appear in the city.
Just when Ling Yan's nerves were tense to the point of tension, the pitch-black gate that was originally open suddenly lit up, and Wen Ping jumped out of the city gate.
Ling Yan was taken aback again, and hurriedly moved the pistol towards Wen Ping, who came out again. This action was a subconscious instinctive reaction, and after he saw clearly that it was Wen Ping on the other side, he was stunned for a moment, and the pistol was put down.
Wen Ping came to Ling Yan and said happily: "General Yan, you are here!" ”
Ling Yan snorted in a daze, and then hurriedly asked, "General Wen, what's going on?" ”
Wen Ping hurriedly said: "General Yan, when I led the army here, I saw that the city was empty, and the city gate was wide open, and I was very suspicious, thinking that this must be a trap for the enemy. ”
Ling Yan nodded, completely agreeing with Wen Ping's opinion, because he came here just now, and when he saw such a situation, he also decided that there were ghosts in it.
"I wanted to ask the general to make a decision when he arrived, and the scouts also rewarded me, telling me to stay where I am and not to act rashly," Wen Ping continued, "but after I stopped at the city for a while, I saw that there was no movement in the city, and I didn't think it was a fraud, so I was impatient, so I decided not to wait for the general to arrive, and went directly into the city." ”
Speaking of this, Wen Ping's face showed a look of self-reproach - no matter what, he also violated Ling Yan's military order, which is why he had this look.
At this time, You Heng answered without pain: "General Wen, after General Yan heard that you entered the city alone, he was anxious, for fear that something would happen to you, General Wen, so he marched at full speed and rushed here." ”
