Chapter 466: Yu Wenchun's sorrow
"What do you mean?" Liang Shiyan asked with some hesitation.
Wei Xiaokuan said slowly: "I don't know if Lord Liang has heard such a story about hunters hunting. Hunters with strong physical strength do not rush to catch their prey when they find it, but if they leave behind him, they will chase after him without giving the prey any respite, until the prey is physically and mentally exhausted, and when the hunter is panicked, the hunter will burst out and kill with one blow. ”
Speaking of this, Wei Xiaokuan was silent, and Liang Shiyan raised his eyebrows and said: "What do you mean that adults are the prey now, and Xing Xing is the hunter?" ”
"I can't think of any other reason to be happy to do this." Wei Xiaokuan shook his head and sighed, as if the cold wind was too strong, and his voice sounded a little distorted and ethereal.
Liang Shiyan was silent for a moment and then asked, "If it is really as you said, how will the adults deal with it?" ”
"Try to keep the formation and speed up the retreat. Since we want to be a hunter, then we will satisfy him and be a suitable prey. After speaking, Wei Xiaokuan raised the horsewhip and whipped it on the horse's buttocks fiercely, the war horse was in pain, and rushed forward with a long neigh.
Although Wei Xiaokuan's words were a little clueless, Liang Shiyan knew his intentions. Now they can only play the role of good prey to attract joy and confidence to chase after them, and only in this way can they do their best to attract the attention of the enemy and allow Yu Wenyong to retreat safely.
"Extinguish the small half of the torches and speed up!" Understanding Wei Xiaokuan's intentions, Liang Shiyan no longer hesitated, and after giving a deep command to the heralds around him, he rode his horse and whipped towards Wei Xiaokuan.
……
Ten miles west of Pingyang City, happily standing quietly on a hillside with a relatively wide field of vision, looking into the west. There, there were dots of fire faintly coming, and judging by their number, I am afraid that there are no less than 40,000.
"Wei Xiaokuan, are you going to let Yuwen Yong escape from that road?" Standing happily with his hands in his hands, he let the cold wind blow the hunting sound of the cloak behind him, but his body was still as tall as a pine, and he did not move.
To despise an opponent is to be negligent to one's own life, and to be merciful to one's enemy is to be cruel to oneself. This is the experience that Happy has summed up over the past ten years from birth to death, so even if he annihilated Yuwenyong's 60,000 troops in World War I, Happy was not carried away by the victory.
Gao Yanzong's experience has only passed recently, how can he get carried away with his happiness? For Wei Xiaokuan, a veteran with great achievements, he has paid enough attention to it from beginning to end.
If it was just speculation at the beginning, then now he can almost be sure that Zhou Diyu Wenyong has definitely had an accident, maybe he is seriously ill, or he may have died. However, I am happy to think that the former is more credible, if it is the latter, Wei Xiaokuan only needs to order the army to break through with all its might, there is no need to flee by different routes and confuse the enemy like now.
If Yuwen Yong was still intact, the Zhou army would not be as passive as it is now, and he would be crushed by the Qi army.
"General, the Zhou army has discovered General Xiao's whereabouts, and now he has quickened his pace! They seemed to be flustered, the torches were constantly extinguishing, and the formation looked a little scattered. ”
Just when he was happily thinking about Wei Xiaokuan's true intentions and the direction in which Yu Wenyong might escape, there was a sudden sound of Sasha's footsteps behind him, but it was Yang Lihua in military uniform. Now that she is on the battlefield, Yang Lihua's title of happiness is no longer as intimate as usual, and the expression on her face is also very serious and respectful.
"Oh?" Xing Xing raised his eyebrows, and said to himself while thinking: "If Zhou Jun is afraid, it is not impossible for them to speed up and escape. However, Wei Xiaokuan is a veteran of a hundred battles, and he will never flee in fear, I am afraid that there is fraud in this! ”
"If one person holds two torches, 20,000 people looks like 40,000. If 40,000 people carry only 20,000 torches, it looks like only 20,000. Fiction is real, reality is virtual. He shook his head happily, and then said, "Let Xiao Maha slow down, increase his vigilance, and send more scouts to investigate the surrounding situation!" ”
"Yes!"
After Yang Lihua left, she happily set her sights on Pingyang City again. Although the joy and eyesight are amazing, under the dark night sky, you can only see the outline of Binh Duong City clearly. With the departure of the Zhou army, Pingyang City became more and more depressed and empty, like a beast quietly dormant.
Half an hour has passed, and according to the time, Qin Qiong should have arrived at the foot of Pingyang City. It's just that Pingyang City is still quiet, is my worry really unnecessary?
Happy muttered to himself in his heart, his eyes staring at the direction of Pingyang City without blinking.
Gao Xing did not have clear news that there were ambushes hidden in Pingyang City, but he never believed that Wei Xiaokuan withdrew so calmly, and the Zhou army would never be reconciled. The arrangement of Qin Qiong, he also arranged it out of vigilance against Wei Xiaokuan, and he was taking precautions before it happened, and there was no big mistake in being careful.
At this moment, Pingyang City suddenly burst into flames, shouting something to shake the sky, this huge movement not only attracted the attention of joy, but also the 20,000 soldiers who were resting in the valley on the leeward side also looked sideways and quickly became alert.
"All the cavalry come with me!"
When Pingyang City suddenly caught fire, his happy heart sank, his body suddenly rose like a big bird, and the hillside slid towards the hillside, and the words did not fall, just a few flashes, and the happy body fell on the back of the sweaty BMW.
"Drive!"
Before he could sit down, he rode his horse and galloped towards Pingyang. At this time, about 5,000 cavalry in the valley also reacted, and all of them turned over their horses as fast as they could, rushing towards Pingyang.
……
Northwest of Northern Qi, West Fenzhou, Assassin Shifuzhong.
"King, it's been four days, but there is still no news from the Holy One, could it be that the rumors are true?"
It was Xin Shao, the Duke of Liangcheng, who was middle-aged, and although his appearance was ordinary, his body was very strong, and his thick arms showed his extraordinary strength.
On the first seat of the Council of the Assassin's Mansion sat a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a gorgeous tight-fitting beard suit, his body was slightly fat, and his eyes were slightly darker than ordinary people, looking a little more murderous. In the dim light, his face was cloudy, and the gloomy aura on his body made the air a little depressed.
This person is Chen Wangyu Wenchun, the current head of Xifenzhou. A few days ago, Yu Yi and Yuwen captured Xifen Prefecture like a bamboo, and then led the army south, and the military and political affairs of Xifenzhou were handed over to Chen Wang Yu Wenchun.
Although Chen Wangyu Wenchun is far from Qi Wangyu Wenxian, Zhao Wangyu Wenzhao has a high status and is a lot less intelligent, but he is serious and sticks to one side, especially since he is a Xianbei tribesman, he is powerful, quite heroic, and can also convince the army.
"Didn't the messengers who sent out come back?" Yuwen Chun frowned and asked with a worried face.
Duke Xin Shao of Liangcheng shook his head and said: "From the day before yesterday to the present, we have sent five groups of spies, but none of them have returned so far, I am afraid that they have been poisoned by the enemy." ”
Hearing this, Yu Wenchun's face couldn't help but look ugly again, and he poured a big sip of tea, and he gasped and asked, "How is the situation in the city?" ”
Xin Shao shook his head and said: "Since yesterday, rumors have spread in the city, saying that my Great Zhou was defeated by Gao Changgong, the king of Sui of Qi State, and was seriously injured, and now I have led the remnants of the army to retreat to Xunzhou. The last general sent people to arrest many people who spread rumors, but the trend of rumors still cannot be stopped. Today, the hearts of the people in the city are fluctuating, and the soldiers are also a little panicked, if this goes on for a long time, I am afraid that things will be very bad. ”
Yu Wenchun rubbed his head gently, and his face wrinkled into a bitter gourd. The so-called groundless wind may not be without reason, although the rumors are not credible, but the information contained in them makes Yu Wenchun feel very heavy. I don't dare to say anything else, but in the battle of Jinyang, the Zhou army will definitely be defeated, and the losses are not few, otherwise Xifenzhou would not have lost contact with Yuwenyong for so long.
"General Xin, the summons to the soldiers in the city to be vigilant, this king always feels that something big will happen in the next few days, it is better to be careful!" Yu Wenchun thought for a long time, and then said solemnly.
Xin Shao agreed, and was about to say something, when there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the house, and then he saw a soldier break into the door in a panic, crawled to the feet of Yu Wenchun, and said incoherently: "Oh no, the king, it's not good!" The enemy is attacking the city, there are so many enemies! ”
"What did you say?" Yu Wenchun got up suddenly, and his face changed greatly. At this moment, there was a muffled sound of "bang", the earth trembled slightly, Yu Wenchun's body shook, and he fell suddenly on the seat.
"The king, the enemy who came from nowhere, suddenly appeared outside the city, and without saying a word, began to attack the city, catching the brothers by surprise!" The soldier was much calmer at this time, and spoke much more fluently and clearly.
"Bang bang!"
As the dull cross talk continued to sound, there was a faint sound of shouting and killing outside the house, and Yu Wenchun didn't need to ask anymore to know what was going on. Ignoring the questioning of the soldier, Yu Wenchun greeted Xin Shao, grabbed the sword on the table and rushed out of the house.
"Woohoo!"
"Be careful, King!"
As soon as Yu Wenchun climbed the city wall, there was a sharp sound of breaking the air in his ears, and he reflexively retracted his head, just in time to avoid a sharp arrow shot at his forehead.
Looking at the arrow that had carved a deep mark on the masonry of the city wall, and was close at hand, Yu Wenchun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back. Open guns are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, if it weren't for the intuition he has cultivated on the battlefield for many years, I am afraid that he would have died just now.
Then the fire at the head of the city, Yu Wenchun looked from afar, and saw that there were twenty or thirty thousand soldiers dressed in red outside the city, and who was coming if it wasn't the Qi army. Looking at its handsome flag, it was a big "Fu" word.
Could it be Fu Fu?
Yu Wenchun guessed. As early as the Eastern Expedition, Yu Wenyong had investigated the more famous generals in the Qi army, and Fu Fu was among them. It's just that for some reason, he actually betrayed the Lord of Qi, and since then he has been lost in the sea and has not been heard from since. Now as soon as Yuwen Chunfu saw the general surnamed Fu, he unconsciously remembered Fu Fu in his heart.
Rain of locusts and arrows.
The catapults of the Qi army under the city continued to roar angrily, and the skull-sized stones slammed into the city wall with huge force, smashing on the bodies of the Zhou soldiers, causing a terrible scream.
