Chapter Eighty-Three: A Delaying Tactic
Yuanhang stood outside the east gate, looked up at the Yizhou City Tower, turned around and instructed the Qin Dynasty, and said: "General Qin, this time I will go to Han County, and Yizhou will be handed over to you, remember not to relax." ”
Qin Chao clenched his fists and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the last general is in the city." ”
Yuanhang nodded, walked over and whispered, "If I can't come back, please General Qin send Lord Siwei and my family out of Yizhou." ”
"My lord......" Qin Chao took a step back, his eyes were red, and he looked at the voyage.
Yuanhang waved his hand, turned around and used all his strength, and shouted, "Get on the horse and go." ”
Turned over on the back of the sunspot, and pulled the reins hard without looking back, the sunspot hissed, let go of the four hooves, and galloped forward with the voyage. The crowd whipped their horses and followed the voyage closely.
"Kuroko, slow down, you don't need to run with your life now." After running out for a while, Yuanhang looked back and saw that the team behind him had disappeared. It was pitch black all around, and I suddenly felt goosebumps all over my body.
The horses walked slowly for a while, and they caught up with them. Ah Jin said on the horse: "Sir, you slow down, how can our horses catch up with the dark clouds and tread the snow." ”
Yuanhang laughed and said, "I'll try how fast Kuroko can run first, if you really want to meet the enemy, you have to rely on it to save your life." ”
Li Moti immediately came to join Yuanhang and said, "My lord, I don't know how Han Jun is now, we can't delay, we still have to hurry." ”
Yuanhang hummed, and once again whipped his horse away.
After a night of rapid travel, when the first rays of sunlight shone through the leaves on Yuanhang, Yuanhang stood up with the tree.
"My lord, how is your health? Can you still make the way? Li Mo walked over and helped Yuanhang and asked.
Yuanhang grinned, nodded reluctantly, and said, "The pain in the inner thigh is unbearable, and the butt is numb, how far is it?" ”
"It's coming, it's going to be there before noon." Limo replied.
Yuanhang gritted his teeth and said, "Let everyone eat some dry food, and set off in a quarter of an hour." ”
Getting on the horse again, Yuanhang didn't dare to gallop again, and walked slowly with his legs apart. Although Li Mo was in a hurry, seeing the uncomfortable appearance of the voyage, it was not easy to continue urging, and a team of people could only move forward slowly.
It wasn't until after noon that Yuanhang led the team to the city of Hanjun. Hanjun Castle originally belonged to the boundary of Xiaoliang Guzhou, so the west gate facing the direction of Yizhou was the strongest, and the city wall was connected with the cliffs on both sides. Coming from Yizhou, you can only enter Hanjun City through the West Gate, which is built to defend against the coming soldiers of the Great Liang. Similarly, the girder city gate is the strongest facing the girder direction.
Yuanhang and the others came to the city, and they came forward to call the door. The soldiers defending the city recognized Limo and opened the west gate and lowered them into the city.
"Where is General Sun?" Li Mo dragged a partial general and asked loudly.
"It should be at the East Gate." The one was dragged over by Li Mo and almost fell.
Ignoring the pain, he rode through the city to the east gate, dismounted and limped up to the east gate. The castle tower was in shambles, the soldiers were lying on the ground resting, and a team of people kept transporting corpses downstairs. Yuanhang saw that Sun Ke was holding a big knife, resting on the pillar of the city tower, and several generals sitting around him also looked tired.
"Ye Zhizhou is here." Someone recognized the voyage and stood up and shouted.
The generals who were sitting around Sun Ke also looked over, and they didn't know each other when they saw it, it should be the generals who came with Situ Hao. Sun Ke opened his eyes and saw Yuanhang happily standing up and walking over, and said, "My lord is here, and I have worked hard all the way. ”
Yuanhang nodded to him and looked down at the city. There were corpses on the ground in front of the city gate, and there were probably thousands of corpses. It can be seen that the fighting is fierce.
"My lord, how is Lord Siwei?" Sun Ke followed and asked behind Yuanhang.
"It's okay, I've asked Lang Zhong to see it." Yuanhang didn't look back, stared at the city and asked, "What's the situation here?" ”
Sun Ke took a step forward, leaned on the battlement, and said, "After retreating to Hanjun at the end of yesterday, I lined up to engage the enemy once. The enemy's offensive was very urgent, and the last general did not dare to fight too much and retreated to Hanjun City. The enemy began to attack the city at noon yesterday, and had attacked it three times by last night. ”
Yuanhang looked at the city wall and said, "I'm afraid this city can't hold it." ”
Sun Ke also sighed and said: "Yes, my lord, the last general also knows that this city cannot be defended for a long time, but now he can't get out." If our army retreats to Yizhou, the enemy will surely pursue and kill them, and there will be no city at that time, so we will not let anyone slaughter them. ”
Yuanhang nodded, looked at the enemy camp in the distance, and asked, "When was the last time the enemy attacked the city?" ”
"Midnight." Sun Ke replied.
Yuanhang asked again: "How many troops do we have now?" ”
Sun Ke lowered his head and said: "Gu Yu was attacked, and he fought several times in Han County, and our army lost at least 50,000, and now there should be 150,000 troops in the city." ”
Yuanhang frowned and asked, "Can't so many people fight a decisive battle with the enemy?" ”
"My lord, Xiao Liang knows that Lord Si Wei is injured, and he continues to send troops here, I am afraid that there are no less than 200,000 in the enemy camp at present, and it seems that he wants to kill us in Han County in one fell swoop." Sun Ke slapped his palm on the wall buttress and said angrily.
"Who is the enemy leading the troops?" Yuanhang thought for a moment and asked.
"It's Guzhou guarding Feng Qianshan." Sun Ke replied.
"What's this person's personality?" Yuanhang asked lightly.
"I have had several contacts with this person before, he is far-sighted, familiar with military books, and he is a good general, but this person is a little suspicious." Sun Ke told everything he knew.
Yuanhang smiled and said, "That's the best, if he doesn't be suspicious, we're really trapped here." ”
Sun Ke looked at Yuanhang suspiciously, not understanding what Yuanhang said.
"General Sun, immediately send someone to make thistle." Yuanhang had a plan in mind and decided to take a risk and try it.
"This ...... My lord, what is thistle? Sun Ke was stunned for a moment and muttered.
Yuanhang patted his head and said, "It's like Y-shaped nails crossed together, with four pointed ones, and no matter how you throw them on the ground, one side will go up." The voyage gestured to Sun Ke.
"My lord, I have ordered someone to quickly build arrows, I'm afraid it will ......," Sun Ke said hesitantly.
"Stop making arrows, it's too late." Yuanhang interrupted Sun Ke and said.
Sun Ke nodded as if he didn't understand, turned around and called a general to order.
"The more the merrier, I'll have to use it tomorrow." Yuanhang said again.
"General, the enemy army is about to attack the city." A general shouted pointing to the opposite side.
Yuanhang hurriedly looked, and sure enough, the enemy camp opened the door, and the soldiers poured out like ants. After setting up the formation, he moved towards Hanjun City.
"Prepare to meet the enemy." Sun Ke shouted, held the big knife in his hand, and said to Yuanhang: "Your Excellency, go down to the city first, the danger here will not protect your lordship." ”
Yuanhang grabbed Sun Ke's arm and asked, "Didn't the enemy come to persuade him to surrender?" ”
"What?" Sun Ke stared at Yuanhang and asked, "What do you mean, my lord?" ”
"I mean, what will happen to them if we surrender?" Yuanhang ignored Sun Ke's somewhat angry expression and continued to ask.
Sun Ke shouted angrily: "The last general has always respected important people, but I didn't expect that adults have such a heart. Although the last general is not talented, he has the heart to be with the city. Adults, please feel free to do so. After saying that, he shook off the hand of the voyage and went alone.
Yuanhang looked at Sun Ke's back and said secretly: It's really as my uncle said, there is no courage and no strategy. hurriedly called out to Sun Ke, chased after him and said, "My lord, listen to me." ”
"I don't have time to listen to you say more, if it weren't for the fact that you established Baoyi Prefecture, I would have killed you with one sword." Sun Ke glared at Yuanhang and said angrily.
Yuanhang was helpless, and made a color to Wuying, Wuying and Ah Jin flashed in front of Sun Ke, and a short sword was on Sun Ke's neck.
The soldiers on the castle tower were preparing for battle, but suddenly found that the Lord was being coerced. Several generals drew their swords, and soldiers raised their spears and surrounded them. The dark spirits who had followed the voyage up the castle tower also drew their weapons and stood on guard beside him.
"Bold, do you want to rebel?" Although Sun Ke was controlled, he still questioned the voyage loudly.
"Ah, what's going on? Quickly let go of General Sun. "I haven't figured out what's going on yet. Puzzled, he looked at the voyage.
"General Limo, bring up the talisman that Lord Si Lieutenant handed over to me." Yuanhang looked at Sun Ke coldly and said.
Li Mo unwrapped the package at any time, took out the talisman and handed it to Yuanhang, and said, "My lord, why is this?" ”
Yuanhang didn't answer him, raised the talisman and said to Sun Ke: "Lord Siwei handed over the talisman to me, but you, as a general, did not listen to the order, but said that I rebelled." Then he looked at the generals and said, "Do you want to disobey the orders too?" ”
The generals looked at the talisman in Yuanhang's hand, looked at each other, put down their weapons, and said, "The last general does not dare, I am willing to listen to the dispatch of the lord." ”
When the soldiers saw that the general had laid down their arms, they threw their spears on the ground and said in unison, "I would like to hear from your lordship." ”
Sun Ke glared angrily and shouted, "Ye Yuanhang, you villain." How can my country be destroyed in your hands......"
The voyage made a color, and Ah Jin slapped Sun Ke on the back of the neck, and Sun Ke suddenly fainted.
"Carry General Sun into the city tower and take care of it." The voyage commanded the shadowless road. Then he said to the people, "Take up arms and prepare to resist the enemy." ”
The generals didn't know what to do, why did they stun General Sun since they rejected the enemy? Just obey the order, quickly pick up the weapon and return to their respective posts.
Looking down from afar, the enemy army has reached a distance of about 200 meters under the city, and a war horse came out of it, and a general immediately held a large sword in his hand, and immediately raised his head in front of the city and shouted: "I am Li Heyuan, the pioneer of Xiaoliang, who dares to fight?" ”
Yuanhang was stunned for a moment, asked a general beside him, and said, "What is he going to do, is it a single one?" ”
The general replied, "Come and challenge, if you want the city to be a foreign soldier, if you don't fight, they will attack the city." ”
Yuanhang poked his head out and shouted: "General Li, I am Ye Yuanhang, the governor of Yizhou, I just took over here, I want to return to Xiaoliang, I don't know what official the third prince can give me?" ”
Yuanhang's voice really made the noses of all the generals above the city tower crooked, and two of them were so angry that they could hardly help but draw their swords and cut Yuanhang. Li Mo also gasped angrily, staring at the voyage.
The general under the city didn't expect the city to say this, and he wanted to call the other party not to wave his army to attack the city after the formation, but now he didn't know what to do.
Yuanhang smiled and shouted to the below: "It seems that General Li can't be the master, please go back and tell General Feng and ask him to come to talk." ”
Li and Yuan Lema circled around twice in place, hesitated for a long time before returning to the formation to report to Feng Qianshan.
