Chapter 156: Attack on Handan
"Newspaper~"
A long and mournful howl sounded in the direction of the front, and then the sound of horses' hooves shattered the wilderness, Zhang Bao frowned, raised his arms, and the mighty army immediately stopped. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I saw a fast horse galloping forward, and the knight planted a pennant diagonally behind his shoulder, hunting in the wind.
"Report~~Handan Urgent Report~~"
Zhang Bao's heart sank when he saw that the messenger's expression was urgent, and he stopped the horse and shouted: "Speak!" ”
The messenger instinctively reined in the reins of his horse, and when he saw clearly that the person blocking the road was Zhang Bao, he rolled the saddle and dismounted in a panic, and said in a sad voice: "Lord, the vanguard of our army fought with the Xiliang soldiers, and was defeated and retreated!" ”
"Huh!?"
A sharp edge flashed in Zhang Bao's eyes, and he said sharply: "Where is Cheng Yuanzhi now?" Where are the enemy troops? ”
"Qi Qi Lord, the enemy army is encamped fifty miles away from Handan, and General Cheng leads a thousand iron cavalry to surround the enemy's rear, just waiting to flank the enemy army before and after the lord!"
"Where is Dian Wei~" Zhang Bao Huoran turned his head, his eyes were cold, and he shouted.
"The last general!"
Wearing an iron armor, the bearded man Dian Wei, riding on a sturdy war horse, responded sharply!
"The whole army is moving faster!"
"No!"
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
In the Xiliang army stationed on the hillside, Ma Teng's cold eyes stared at the map on the case, and he said in a deep voice without raising his head: "Although our army has defeated the enemy's vanguard, I am afraid that the thief's first Zhang Bao brigade will arrive later, I intend to attack Handan City as a base first, what does Lord Yang think?" ”
Yang Fu, who was kneeling on the ground, frowned slightly, opened his eyes after a long period of silence, shot out a fine light, and said in a deep voice: "What the general said is good. The Yellow Turban army confronted the general in Youzhou, there should not be many soldiers and horses in Handan, do not hesitate, our army should immediately set off to capture Handan before the enemy reacts! ”
"Okay~ Since Lord Yang also agrees to capture Handan, then let's leave immediately!"
Ma Teng stood up and said sharply: "Where is Pound?" ”
"The last general!"
A huge military general dodged in from outside the tent and responded sharply with his fists clenched.
"Quickly prepare the troops and horses and capture Handan!"
"No!"
"Where is Zhang Heng?"
"The last general!"
"Raise a thousand soldiers and horses to visit the main force of the enemy army along the road, and once you find it, come and report it immediately!"
"No!"
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
"Phew~"
Cheng Yuanzhi gently restrled the war horse under his crotch, and followed the galloping Yellow Turban Iron Cavalry behind him, and stopped his horse in an instant, and the indifferent cavalry was silent, forming a sea of guns and halberds.
"General Qiyu, the enemy army has all pulled out of the camp and headed west!"
"Huh?"
Cheng Yuanzhi, who was riding on a horse, suddenly condensed his eyes, turned his head to look at Gao Shun, and said in a deep voice: "I have sent a herald to summon the lord, the enemy army is encamped on the mountain, and we lead the iron cavalry to attack the lord on both sides around the enemy's rear. Why is the enemy heading west? ”
Gao Shun's resolute face changed in an instant, his eyes sparkled, and he said in a condensed voice: "I expect the enemy army to take Handan and think it is fortified!" ”
"What?"
Cheng Yuanzhi's face changed, and he said in surprise: "Handan is the central artery between our army and General Guo, once Handan is occupied by the enemy, it can immediately cut off the connection between Huguan and our army!" ”
"Not bad!"
Gao Shun glanced westward, a cold flame ignited in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "General, we should immediately go to Handan to rescue." After sending heralds to summon General Guoguan and the lord respectively, they learned! There is also a quick dispatch to summon Handan to defend strictly! ”
"In the words of Pepin."
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
The night is dark, but the city of Handan is bright and crowded.
The Handan guards, who were ordered to defend strictly, did not dare to slack off, and sent 24 patrols to patrol along the city wall non-stop, lest the Xiliang army steal the city at night.
While stepping up patrols, the Handan guards also organized the people to become an independent army overnight to enrich the defense of Handan City. Although this is not advisable, there are too few soldiers and horses in the city, and it is good to fill the number of people.
Under the escort of more than a dozen personal soldiers, the guard general proudly ascended to the city gate, and the guard colonel had already stepped forward and said loudly: "The villain sees the general." ”
"Hmm~~"
The guard nodded and asked, "Is there any movement outside the city?" ”
"Back to the general, there is no movement."
"Well, be on guard, but if there's a stir, I'll report it immediately."
"Yes."
"Hmm!"
The city gate junior colonel's voice fell, and the Handan guard suddenly frowned, and said in a condensed voice: "What sound?" ”
The colonel and the soldiers looked around blankly, and they didn't hear any unusual noises at all.
The guard's eyes were sharp, he spread his hands and said in a deep voice: "Bow here!" ”
The guards held the bow in their hands, and drew a thumb-thick wolf's tooth arrow from the quiver in the hands of the soldiers, and turned his head to the little colonel beside him and said: "You take a torch and throw it hard in front of the city gate, as far as you can." ”
"Yes."
The little colonel of the city gate did not dare to slack off, hurriedly pulled out a burning mutton fat torch from the city wall, rounded his arm and threw it forward, and suddenly, the burning torch rolled forward and flew out, drawing a bright and dazzling trajectory in the air, the guard's eyes narrowed slightly, and by the light of the fire, he saw that there were many black figures moving in the open space outside the city.
The guard exhaled, and the three-stone iron-tired bow was suddenly full, and there was a trembling sound, and the wolf's tooth arrows stored on the string had already shot out like lightning.
"Uh~"
Almost as soon as the defenders let go, a terrible scream sounded in the darkness in front of the city.
"Good archery!"
The colonel and his own soldiers at the city gate applauded, and the guards were inevitably proud in their hearts, and when they were about to shoot the second arrow, a cold murderous aura suddenly struck from under the night sky, locking him firmly.
"Huh~"
The next moment, a terrible sound of breaking the air sounded from the endless darkness in front of him, and when the guard's face changed drastically and he was about to dodge, a thumb-thick wolf's tooth arrow had already pierced his left chest, and the strong force on the arrow branch carried the guard's body backwards and slammed into the city gate beam.
"Tuk!"
The sharp wolf's tooth arrow pierced the guard's left shoulder and plunged deep into the gate beam.
"General!"
"General!"
"General!"
The colonel and the soldiers guarding the gate shouted loudly, and when they looked closely, they saw a thumb-thick wolf's tooth arrow piercing through the guard's left shoulder, nailing him to the gate beam. The guard's dark eyes were cold, and half of his body was numb, and it was difficult to move a bit.
"Huh~~"
There was another sound of breaking the air, and another thumb-thick wolf's tooth arrow swept into the air, this time the guard was no longer powerless to dodge, he could only watch the cold light flashing in front of him, and then felt a cold throat, and when he slowly lowered his head, a wolf's tooth arrow feather was trembling slightly in the evening breeze.
The city gate guards have always been excellent in archery, but they didn't expect to die under the enemy's arrows tonight!
There was a faint hint of self-deprecation in the guard's eyes, and he immediately tilted his head and died of anger. (To be continued.) )
