Volume 2 The Battle of the Yellow Turban Chapter 59 The vanguard is gone

On the second day, just as Ling Yan was holding the Moon Slashing Knife in his hand to cultivate his internal qi, a soldier suddenly came to report: "General Yan, General Yuan sent someone to send a secret letter. ”

Ling Yan collected his internal qi and hurriedly said, "Give it to me!" ”

The soldier handed the letter to Ling Yan, Ling Yan opened the letter and looked at it, only to see that the letter said: General Yan has formed an alliance with me, and now I am attacking Jizhou with three lines of soldiers and horses, but General Yan leads a strong team to attack Han Fu. The two-phase attack will win!

When Ling Yan saw this, he was overjoyed, and said to the soldier: "You go and tell the messenger quickly, and I will start the army immediately!" ”

"Yes!"

"Oh! By the way, you go and tell General You, and ask him to inform General Wenwu and go to the council hall immediately! Ling Yan added.

"Yes!" The soldier said yes and ran out.

Ling Yan hurriedly put away the letter, he wanted to cultivate for a while, but he was always thinking about the battle with Han Fu and the "reward" after defeating Han Fu, so he couldn't calm down anymore no matter what, so he simply gave up and hurriedly walked out of the room.

When he came to the conference hall, he saw that the civil and military generals were already standing in two rows, Ling Yan hurriedly walked to his place and sat down, and said to the generals: "Everyone, General Yuan has sent someone to send a letter, let us immediately raise troops to attack Han Fu!" ”

Everyone clasped their fists and said, "I wish to listen to General Yan's drive!" ”

"Good!" Ling Yan was very happy, "After the deed is completed, all the generals will be rewarded!" ”

All the generals were beaming.

Ling Yan began to give combat orders.

"General Wang Wei, General Zhang Hu!"

Wang Wei and Zhang Hu stood up at the same time: "The last general!" ”

Ling Yan ordered: "The two generals will lead five thousand cavalry, as the vanguard, and march first!" ”

"Yes!" The two retreated with their fists clenched.

"General Lu Gong!"

Lu Gong came out in response: "The end will be!" ”

Ling Yan said: "General Lu escorts the grain and grass first, don't lose anything!" ”

"Yes!" Lu Gong also retreated.

"General Kuailiang, General Youheng!"

"In!"

"General Bai Kuai and General You joined the army for the march, and they will go with me on the march!" Ling Yan ordered.

"Yes!"

"General Prince's Law!"

Wang Zifa arched his hand: "In!" ”

Ling Yan ordered: "General Wang will lead three thousand infantry as the broken queen!" ”

"Yes!"

"General Sun Shao!"

"In!"

Ling Yan smiled: "General Sun is still stationed in the Great Victory City to cut off my worries!" ”

"The last general will do everything he can to protect the city with all his might!"

"Good!" Ling Yanda was very happy, and looked around at the remaining generals, "The rest of the generals, obey General Sun's orders and defend the city together!" ”

"Yes!" Several generals replied in unison.

After assigning all the generals, Ling Yan ordered 15,000 soldiers and horses from the city and left the city in a mighty way.

On the march, Kuai Liang looked at the Moon Slashing Knife on Ling Yan's waist and asked, "General Yan, is this your weapon?" ”

Ling Yan smiled: "Yes, if you don't have a weapon in your hand, you really don't look like a general." ”

Kuai Liang smiled: "Yes, but the knife that the general is equipped with seems to be a little short...... If the general wishes, I will give him the sword I have attached. With that, Kuai Liang was about to untie the long sword at his waist.

Ling Yan hurriedly smiled and said, "No need, thank you General Kuai, I'll just use mine." ”

Kuai Liang said: "The knife that the general is equipped with, although it is combined, but the enemy generals all use long weapons, but the general uses short knives, which seems to be difficult to resist the enemy...... My sword, though it doesn't fit in my hand, is sharp. ”

You Heng, who was on the side, said with a smile: "Zi Rou's sword is certainly sharp, but the sword that General Yan is equipped with is not inferior. ”

Kuai Liang looked at the knife on Ling Yan's waist and said curiously, "Is it really so powerful?" ”

Ling Yan smiled: "General Kuai, don't worry, my moon slashing knife will definitely be able to defeat those spears and spears of the enemy." ”

"Oh?" Kuai Liang didn't seem to believe it.

"Moon Slasher?" You Heng also felt novel, "Good name, good name!" ”

"Ha, I made it myself, it sounds good!" Ling Yan was a little proud.

"Hmm-" Kuai Liang said with a smile, "The enemy army is like the moon in the sky, and this knife is the knife that cuts the moon in the sky, does the general have any intention for this?" ”

"Haha, yes, yes, that's what it means!" Ling Yan laughed.

"In this battle, with this Moon Slashing Knife, we will definitely win a big victory!" You Heng also smiled.

"Haha......"

Along the way, the three of them talked and laughed, and there was no tension at all when they were about to meet the enemy, not at all like they were going to fight, but like they had returned triumphantly.

However, not only Ling Yan and the three of them, but the entire army had high morale.

After a day and a night's rest, the march resumed the next day.

After a few miles, a scout came to report: "The vanguard General Wang Wei found the enemy camp and did not dare to attack rashly." ”

Kuai Liang said to Ling Yan: "The enemy knows that we are sending troops, so we must be prepared. ”

"Hmm." Ling Yan nodded, and ordered the probe to say, "Inform General Wang Wei that you must be careful in case the enemy ambushes you." ”

"Yes!" The scouts rode away.

"General Yan, let's speed up the march too." Thou hast said.

"Okay."

After traveling for a few more miles, the probe reported again: "General Wang Wei and General Zhang Hu defeated the enemy, and the enemy abandoned the village and fled." ”

Kuai Liang was taken aback, and hurriedly said to Ling Yan: "General Yan, this is probably the enemy's plan to lure the enemy!" ”

Ling Yan also felt strange: the enemy knew that I was going to attack, and it must be heavily defended, but it was so easy to be defeated by the vanguard, it was very wrong!

"Quickly report to Wang Wei and General Zhang Hu, don't go deep alone, stay put!" Ling Yan hurriedly ordered the probe soldiers.

"Yes!"

Ling Yan ordered the adjutant general beside him: "Speed up the march!" ”

After marching for another two or three miles, the scouts rushed to bring a bad news: "General Wang Wei and General Zhang Hu were attacked by ambushes, and our army was killed and wounded!" General Zhang Hu was killed by enemy generals, and General Wang Wei was trapped in the enemy and could not escape! ”

"What!" Ling Yan was shocked.

"General Yan! Let's hurry up and rescue General Wang! Kuai Liang said urgently.

"Good...... Good! ”

Ling Yan hurriedly led the troops forward, and at this time, there was no longer the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere of yesterday in the army.

After marching for a few more miles, when he reached a valley, Ling Yan saw that the ground in front of him was full of dead corpses of soldiers, most of them were soldiers from Ling Yan's side.

As soon as Ling Yan raised his head, he saw that not far ahead, thousands of enemy soldiers were waiting solemnly, and the leader immediately raised his spear to block the way.

"General Yan, be careful, this place is not good for me!" Kuai Liang reminded Ling Yandao in a whisper.

Ling Yan had already been angered by the corpses all over the ground, and pointed at the general on the opposite side and said sharply, "Who are you!" How dare you stand in my way! ”

The general laughed "haha": "I am the general Cheng Jian under General Han!" The enemy who advanced first has been killed by me, but I didn't expect another batch to come! Sure enough, I fell into what Zhengnan said! Ha ha! ”

Ling Yan gritted his teeth: "You killed all these people?" ”

That would be another burst of laughter: "Not bad! I killed them all! ”
