Chapter 158
Yingzhou, Wohu Mountain.
Originally, Zhao Xun started from the place, but later because of the invasion of the Yan army, Zhao Xun had already moved the people there to Miyun County for resettlement, and the original village was empty. Now it is occupied by a team of more than 1,000 people.
"Lord Captain, our supplies are getting less and less now, and if we continue like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue!" In the hall, the five people sat in their seats, looking tired, and a big man in tattered leather armor said bitterly to the middle-aged man on the first seat.
The middle-aged man at the head was thirty-four or five years old, with a tired face, and was dressed in tattered armor, which was covered with knife marks and sword marks, and between the traces was covered with some dark red sediment, which was the blood left after the battle, which was left behind after it had not been cleaned. He frowned, but did not speak.
"Zhang Yan, then you say, what should we do? When you go out, you will be chased by the Yan army, and if you don't go out, you can only starve. What else can we do other than send a small group of men to buy a small amount of food? One said bitterly.
"It's good that there's a cottage here, otherwise it would have been worse."
The middle-aged man at the head slowly spoke: "The situation is critical, but we can't sit still, I have asked people to buy food while paying attention to the grain transportation team of the Yan Army." After occupying Yingzhou, the army of the Yan Dynasty scavenged grain and grass everywhere to reserve for the winter, as long as we intercepted some of them, it was enough to meet the immediate needs. I'm not worried about food, I'm worried about clothing. It's getting colder, and I think it won't be long before it snows. Without winter clothes, I'm afraid that we, the 1,300 soldiers, will really run out of the army. ”
Speaking of clothes, the other four were also silent, yes, winter is coming, and it is difficult for the soldiers in simple cloth clothes and leather armor to survive the whole winter. Once it snows, the cold weather will completely freeze these more than 1,000 soldiers, and they will be wiped out without the help of the Yan army.
At this time, one person said: "Lord Captain, have you heard about the Yanzhou Mansion?" ”
The lieutenant's eyebrows moved, and he said, "Are you saying that the Yan Dynasty army in Yanzhou Mansion has been defeated by a Huolin army led by Zhao Xun?" Didn't we hear from those merchants about this? They are powerful, but they just don't come to Yingzhou, and if they help, it is not impossible to recover Yingzhou. ”
The man who spoke said with a wry smile: "Lord Captain, the Huolin Army is not a government army, let alone a guard army, it is just a battalion soldier, but now Yanzhou Mansion is already the world of the Huolin Army, do you know what this means?" Want them to help? ...... result."
The lieutenant frowned, and said for a while: "What Zhao Xun did was all a move that should be killed, but it is more important than anything else to defeat the Yan Ya army and save hundreds of thousands of people in Yanzhou Mansion from being bullied by the Yan Ya people." Even if he wants to dominate Yingzhou, then he must be willing to come. Alas...... There were tens of thousands of soldiers in Yingzhou, and in the end, there were less than 5,000 people who could resist. ”
"My lord, why don't we contact the Fire Lin Army? This is not far from Miyun County, as long as you turn over the mountains on the northeast side, but more than a hundred miles away, you will enter the boundary of Yanzhou Mansion, although the army can not march, but the contact is still possible. If the Huolin Army sends troops from Lexian, we can assist from the flanks and defeat the Yan Army in the north of Yingzhou in one fell swoop. ”
"This ......"
"Report ...... My lord, thirty miles to the southwest, we saw the army of the Yan Dynasty looting grain and grass. A sentry walked in and said.
The lieutenant immediately asked, "How many are there?" ”
"There are less than 1,000 people in the army, and more than 100 taels of grain trucks, all of which are scavenging grain and grass from the surrounding villages and towns."
"Gather the manpower and do his vote, as long as their food is intercepted, we will no longer suffer here." The lieutenant said.
A moment later, 1,000 soldiers descended from Crouching Tiger Mountain, leaving only 300 wounded soldiers behind.
Thirty miles southwest of Wohu Mountain, a group of seven or eight hundred soldiers escorted more than 100 carts to Le'an County, where Zhao Xun once lived in villages and towns under the jurisdiction of Le'an County.
"Wu Han, you said that the leader of the Huolin Army lived in your town in the past?" The general led by the Yan army glanced at the Han people around him and asked disdainfully.
Wu Han, the former leader of the township in Xinyan Town, now takes refuge in the Yan Army. Said flatteringly: "That's true, in the past, a young man, by virtue of the opportunity to suppress bandits, pulled up hundreds of villagers, and later took Su Yun, the soldier and horse envoy of Yanzhou Mansion, and went to Yanzhou Mansion." I didn't expect that in less than a year, it would be ......"
"Hmph...... It's just a battalion of soldiers, sooner or later, screw off his head! ”
Wu Han hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, yes, then Zhao Xun is the opponent of the Yan Army." ”
"Slow down! This time, we will completely wipe out the remnants of the 1,000 Yan Army! The general commanded.
An hour and a half later, the soldiers of Wohu Mountain finally caught up with the team of the Yan Yan army escorting grain and grass.
"Is this the team?" The lieutenant asked about the horses that had been watching.
"It's them, but it's a little strange that they don't move fast, as if they are deliberately moving slowly. ”
"Deliberately slowing down, is there anything weird? Forget it, if there is no food, the whole army will have to starve to death, where can there be anything else. Pass the order down and get ready to attack! Kill these marrow mongrels for me. By the way, the war horses want to stay, and there are more than 1,000 of us, only more than 100, which is really scarce. ”
"Kill!"
More than 1,000 soldiers surrounded and killed the seven or eight hundred Yan troops from the northeast side. These soldiers are also foot soldiers, only about a hundred cavalry, which is also the reason why the captain led people to intercept and kill, if there are seven or eight hundred cavalry, the more than 1,000 exiled soldiers under his command cannot cope at all.
Seeing the attack of the Yan army, the general of the Yan army drew his scimitar and shouted: "Form a formation, stick to the grain!" ”
"Kill, kill them all!" When the captain saw the seven or eight hundred troops besieging the city, he smiled and shouted loudly.
More than a thousand Yan troops finally approached the car, all smiling, and the seven or eight hundred Yan troops in front of them could no longer stop their impact in their eyes.
A cold light appeared in the eyes of the generals of the Yan Army, and he shouted sharply: "Attack!" ”
Under the surprised gaze of Yan Jun, seven or eight hundred Yan soldiers bowed their heads in unison, and on the more than 100 carriages behind them, three or four hundred people poured out at the same time, all with sharp longbows in their hands, and each cart also carried a giant crossbow.
"Damn! It's a trap, it's over! The lieutenant's eyes were lost for a moment, and he muttered to himself.
"Xiuxiu......" A rain of arrows rose into the air, shooting directly at the Yan army in front of him.
The Yan army, which had no shield, suddenly fell into a large area, and the screams, wails, and angry scolding resounded, and more than 100 Yan troops fell under the rain of arrows from the longbowmen of the Yan army at once.
Sincere!
With a muffled thud, the lieutenant felt a jolt in his right arm, and a sharp arrow actually pierced through his guard, revealing a bloody arrow from behind him.
The young guard looked at the lieutenant and before he could say anything, he was killed by a series of arrows. The lieutenant suddenly came to his senses, and only then did he remember that he was the commander of the Yan army.
The continuous screams came from behind the captain, and the Yan army, who lacked shield protection, fell to the ground wailing in the baptism of arrow rain, some people were shot through the throat and died, some people were shot through the chest and dying, and some people were shot through the thighs, bleeding and wailing......
The cars of the Yan army were lined up in two rows, taking turns shooting a rain of arrows, and the rain of arrows came one after another, and the Yan army fell to the ground one after another, and in a short cup of tea, half of the soldiers were killed or wounded
The lieutenant shouted bitterly: "Retreat! Remove! ”
The remaining 500 Yan troops retreated rapidly, trying to break away from the arrows of the Yan army.
"Want to run? Kill me! The general of the Martial Army roared. The 700 Hundred Yan Army was like a tiger and a wolf, killing the Yan army that quickly retreated. Only then did the archers of the Yan army stop shooting, only the crossbow arrows continued to be fired at the Yan army in the distance.
"My lord, you retreat with the brothers who are intact, and I will leave cover." A man with two arrows stuck in his body said to the captain.
Looking at the arrow on the other party's chest, knowing that Yiyanjun's current situation could not be cured at all, the captain held back his anger and remorse, and said: "Liu Wen, I, Zhang Wei, owe you a life, and I will definitely avenge you in the future!" ”
Liu Wen shouted sharply: "Injured brothers, stay with me, don't let the Yan army underestimate my Yan army." ”
Suddenly, nearly 200 people stopped, holding weapons, gathered around Liu Wen's side, and looked indifferently at the killing army.
"Kill ......"
Two hundred men fought to the death, but under the strong attack of the Yan army, in the end, no one survived.
"My lord, three hundred people have run!"
"Forget it, I'm afraid these 300 people have entered the mountain, and only 300 people can't turn over the big waves. This group of Yan troops was finally swept away. ”
After getting the news of the departure of the Yan Army, Zhang Wei asked the soldiers to stop and rest, looking at the remaining soldiers of less than three hundred people, Zhang Wei hammered on the trees around him with one fist, his fists were bloody, but Zhang Wei didn't care at all.
"The Evil Army will take revenge in the future. Brethren, I have harmed you! Saying that, Zhang Wei, a bold man, shed tears of remorse. In fact, before the attack, he had already realized that something was wrong, but he was so focused on food that he ignored it.
"My lord, let's go back to Crouching Tiger Mountain first, and then let's make a plan."
Zhang Wei returned to Wohu Mountain with three hundred defeated soldiers dejectedly.
