Chapter 392: The General Fights
readx;
In 191 AD, in the second year of the early Han Dynasty, at the beginning of February, a tens of thousands of iron horsemen were tens of thousands outside the south city of Yong'an County, lined up in a neat queue, and when approaching the outside of the grove, the speed slowly slowed down.

"General, the small forest in front is calm, and the enemy army is hundreds of miles away in Pingfu County, so it is impossible to ambush here." Seeing Guo Yan standing outside the grove with a solemn expression, a big man dressed as a deputy general stepped forward and said to Guo Yan.
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." Guo Yan glanced at the deputy general, he didn't have the arrogant appearance in front of Niu Fu and Li Dao at all, as a general, Guo Yan is not a parallel import, let alone so reckless and unreasonable in the eyes of outsiders.
It's clumsy! It's also a cover-up!
Guo Yan knows his position in the Xiliang Army very well, if he is as stable as Mount Tai, no one can compare to Guo Yan, because Guo Yan is highly valued by Dong Zhuo, and he is Dong Zhuo's indispensable right and left hand, and Li Wei and Niu Fu think that they are Dong Zhuo's arms, but they are always on guard by Dong Zhuo, and even Guo Yan is Dong Zhuo's best eyeliner to monitor the two.
Therefore, Guo Yan is not worried that he will be dissatisfied with anyone, but Guo Yan does not dare to act too smart, because Guo Yan understands what kind of person Dong Zhuo is, if he is arrogant and stupid, it doesn't matter, but if he is too shrewd, he may die quickly!
"Report, General Guo, the tanma has been checked, and there is no movement in the grove ahead!" A captain riding a fast horse came to a short distance from Guo Yan, dismounted and knelt down to Guo Yan.
"Yes!" Guo Yan nodded, and then glanced at the grove from a distance, his face was a little unsightly, so many years of career as a general, Guo Yan's intuition has been as sensitive as a demon, I don't know why, after leaving the army this time, Guo Yan always felt a little frightened, but if I thought about it carefully, I couldn't imagine what would happen.
In any case, Yong'an is still in Dong Zhuo's hands, and the defense line has not been lost, which means that it is impossible for the Tianci Army to enter the hinterland of Sanfu, but the question is, where does this feeling come from? Could it be that there are rebels in the Xiliang army? Or is it that Guo Yan is suspicious?
Since the Tianci Army's westward expedition, there have been many mentally unstable generals in the Xiliang Army, which not only includes the Sanfu Xiliang Army, but also the local troops in Xiliang.
You must know that the slogan of Xiliang Iron Riding back then was, invincible in the world!
"Let's go, let the brothers pay attention, even if there are no enemy troops, don't relax." couldn't think of anything, so Guo Yan had no choice but to put aside his doubts, nodded to the deputy general and said aloud.
Guo Yan didn't see it, when the deputy general heard Guo Yan's words, a coldness flashed in his eyes, as if he was laughing at Guo Yan, but Guo Yan didn't see it, because the deputy general lowered his head!
"No, General!" The adjutant general's voice was very deep, and after glancing at Guo Yan, he immediately beat his horse and left, as for whether he warned the soldiers and horses of the Xiliang Army, only God knows.
Watching the deputy general leave, Guo Yan's mood became even more confused, but the military order has been issued, and Guo Yan cannot change it at all, unless Guo Yan has direct evidence that there is no enemy in front of him, otherwise, how to convince the public? The army mutinied, which was something that no general wanted to see.
Slowly advancing, the soldiers' faces were tired, with a hint of arrogance, with a hint of greed, looking at the distant county town outside the woods, and they were even a little impatient, because in that county town, there was everything they wanted.
Women, Money Kills!!
Yes, before entering Yong'an, Guo Yan had already ordered that the soldiers could enter the city without military discipline for a day! It is equivalent to saying that this order will indirectly kill the lives of tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of people, but Guo Yan doesn't care, because what Guo Yan wants is the heart of the army and the support of the soldiers!
Where there are soldiers, there is everything!
Of course, Guo Yan didn't think about supporting the army and being self-reliant, because Guo Yan knew very well that he was not that material, but he could control the heart of the soldiers, isn't this a bad thing? No matter what time it is, at least you can protect yourself.
But how can the soldiers' hearts be controlled? Then it depends on what the soldiers want, a general who can give the soldiers everything, is supported by all the soldiers, in this era, what the soldiers can't want is status, money, women, status, Guo Yan can't give it, if it's really about identity, Guo Yan himself is still a captain, since he can't give status, then give money and women.
Of course, it is impossible for Guo Yan to pay out of his own pocket, this is to rely on forcible robbery, but there are many ways to talk about this robbery, and it is impossible to do it brutally, otherwise, Guo Yan doesn't even know how to die, so why did Guo Yan choose Yong'an?
You know, although Yong'an is Dong Zhuo's territory, but the problem is that Yong'an is adjacent to Pingfu County, if today's army is besieging Pingfu City, and he also knows that Niu Fu is leading the army to come, in this case, can't he send troops south to seize Yong'an? And as long as there is this principle, whether Yongan is still in Dong Zhuo's hands or not, then everything will be fine.
wants to loot, wants to slaughter the city, the reason is very simple, Yong'an has mixed into the annihilation, the annihilation of the heaven-given army, in order to "clean up" these annihilators, Guo Yan has to be ruthless and wantonly clean, because Guo Yan is Dong Zhuo's general, Dong Zhuo's henchman, everything has to be for Dong Zhuo's great cause, these untouchables, if they die, they will die.
500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters
Getting closer and closer, the atmosphere is getting more and more solidified, and even the clouds in the world are becoming black, as if indicating something, Guo Yan rode a horse and walked at the forefront of the army, looking at the sky from time to time, touching the handle of the knife from time to time, and feeling nervous and unable to breathe.
I don't know why, Guo Yan always feels that something is going to happen!
Two hundred meters, one hundred meters, eighty meters, sixty meters
Quiet, eerily quiet, without a little movement, Guo Yan could even see from a distance, the Tanma in Xiliang military uniforms, greeting the large army along the road on the pipeline, seeing this, Guo Yan exhaled, at least these Tanma are not lazy, it can be regarded as a comfort.
Fifty meters, twenty meters, into the grove!
The area of the grove along the road is about six or seven hundred meters, and the lush trees stand on both sides of the pipe, blocking the only light, and it looks very dark, a little farther away, you can't even see each other's faces, it's very dark, very damp and cold!
Fifty meters, one hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters, two hundred meters deep!
Nearly 4,000 people entered the official road of the grove, and some Xiliang soldiers even left the large army to pee on the side of the road, which was ridiculous military discipline.
Wrong!! Suddenly, Guo Yan stopped his horse with a pale face and looked around! Quiet, too quiet, quiet to a strange degree, many years of war career, Guo Yan knows very well that a forest with a large area is impossible for this to happen.
At least you should have a bird call, right?
At least you should have a worm, right?
Even if you don't have these two things, there must be some rumors!
"Whirring" wind is coming, but there is a little heat, Guo Yan, who felt the heat, suddenly frowned a little puzzled, at this time it is the spring of February, although the weather has gradually begun to heat up, but in the northwest, it is still extremely cold, but in such a cold place, how can there be hot air?
Could it be that there is a giant python?
No kidding, pythons are cold-blooded, and they don't necessarily come out yet!
"There are enemy !!" Drinking, crazy drinking, Guo Yan suddenly came back to his senses, in this kind of weather, the only one who can exhale hot air is the army, and the number of this army is no less than 3,000 people, 3,000 people are ambushed in this grove, if you get closer, the hot breath will gather together and move with the wind!
"Sonorous sonor!!" Although the military discipline is sloppy, the military quality of the Xiliang Army still exists, just after Guo Yan drank loudly, he suddenly remembered the sound of countless weapons colliding, and stood in a good position one by one, but for some reason, they all looked at the Quartet a little puzzled!
No, nothing!
No enemy troops, no one!
"Let the tanma go around the woods!" Fang Cai Guo Yan shouted loudly, not only reminding the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, but also reminding the enemy troops who may be ambushed, in order to lure the snake out of the hole!
Obviously, Guo Yan's wish has been disappointed, no matter what the quality of the army, when it hears this shout, it will at least have an instinctive reaction, even if it is an enemy army, but Guo Yan stretched out his ears and didn't hear any movement!
At this time, the chirping of birds and all kinds of insects were heard by Guo Yan, very clearly, as if they were not far away.
Seeing such a situation, Guo Yan's suspicions became even heavier, but not long after, Tanma reported to Guo Yan, no, nothing was found, and there was no one in the woods except for insects and birds!
Hearing this answer, Guo Yan was a little puzzled, could it be that he was really suspicious? Guo Yan, who has always been stubborn, was a little shaken, since there was no ambush in the woods, where did the unstable mood come from? Is it too tired to cause it?
"Damn, I must have been squeezed dry by those three stinky girls last night, so I want to be shocked." Secretly scolded, Guo Yan's expression was a little ugly, under the gaze of hundreds of soldiers beside Guo Yan, Guo Yan was very unnatural, after all, a general without courage could not subdue the arrogant Xiliang soldiers.
"Keep going!" With a wave of his hand, Guo Yan pulled the reins of the horse and continued to move forward, Guo Yan, who was on the horse, muttered secretly in his heart: "Grandma, tonight, Lao Tzu must find face in Yong'an, this is a big shame." ā
============= "Huh, it's dangerous, I didn't expect this Guo Yan to be not a fuel-efficient lamp, thanks to the general who set up the ambush at the exit, if it is located at the entrance" The young general was in a cold sweat, looking at the scene of the continuous patrol of the horses hundreds of meters away, his heart trembled a little, it was dangerous, it was dangerous!
The strength of the 3,000 Tianci army, this is not to be said, but the question is, the Xiliang army has 10,000, or cavalry! This is fatal, if there is no adequate preparation, the three thousand heavenly army will easily be crushed, and there will be no scum left after being eaten.
"How can someone who can become Dong Zhuo's confidant not have any ability?" Zhang Jaw's expression has not changed, there is no trace of pride, it seems that the young Zhang Jaw has understood the truth that as a general, joy and anger are not good.
Of course, there is still a long way to go before Mount Tai collapses in front of the damned ability, but who is called Zhang Jaw or a young general? The realm of Mount Tai, maybe it won't be long before you can reach it with open jaws!
Zhang Jaw is a famous general, a super star that Liu Tai values very much!
"General, what are we going to do?" After seeing the Xiliang Army continue to advance, the young regiment commander asked loudly, the young regiment commander at this time no longer dared to despise the Xiliang Army, at least, he did not dare to underestimate Guo Yan, in case Guo Yan found some clues again
"Do what you have to do! As planned! Zhang Jaw glanced at the young regiment leader with a little dissatisfaction, although the young regiment leader is very young, but Zhang Jaw is also very young, such a fuss, the lack of a stable regiment leader, a little disappointed Zhang Jaw.
"Yes, General!" Feeling the meaning of the eyes of the open jaw, the young regiment commander was a little ashamed, and the young regiment commander still clearly remembered that all the time, the eyes of the open jaw were appreciated, although they were about the same age, they could be valued by the generals, which was the glory of all soldiers and officers at all levels.
Three hundred meters, four hundred meters, five hundred meters
It turned out that the Xiliang Army, who was still a little vigilant, gradually loosened up after not finding anything, even Guo Yan, who was originally cautious, began to smile stupidly on the horse, as if thinking about something, since he had already lost face once, Guo Yan naturally would not be a soldier anymore.
Five hundred and fifty meters, six hundred meters!
Guo Yan has entered the range of the crossbow arrow troops, and most of the Tianci soldiers began to get excited, because at this time, Guo Yan standing on the pipeline in front of them is one of the famous generals of the Xiliang Army, if he can kill Guo Yan, it will be a lot of credit.
Of course, in the absence of any order, the heavenly sergeant with good military discipline will never dare to act without authorization, this is a taboo thing, and he will be executed at will!
Six hundred and fifty meters! There is only a hundred meters left at the end of the woods!!!
"Kill!!!! Suddenly, a monstrous shout sounded from the woods, this sound came from the open jaw, a little hoarse, a little excited, a little uncontrollable!
Open jaw, after all, it's still a young man! "Woooo Countless crossbow arrows were bent and wound, and there was less than five seconds in between, only to see pieces of arrow rain ingesting the Xiliang army like black clouds, and suddenly, blood-colored red flowers bloomed like roses in midsummer.
"Tear, flutter, whew"
"Ahh!!!h
The tearing sound of the arrow piercing into the muscles, the screams of the Xiliang soldiers were mixed together, and I saw that the Xiliang soldiers who were close to the two roads were full of small crossbow arrows, and they fell one after another without looking at each other, and in just an instant, hundreds of people fell in a pool of blood!!
"Meet the !!!" Seeing this situation, Guo Yan suddenly burst into tears, and he couldn't have imagined that when Guo Yan was relaxing, this situation actually happened, although there are not many soldiers who have lost so far, but you must know that the crossbow arrows of the Tianci Army are fired in bursts!!!
"Woooo The sound of breaking the air sounded wave after wave, nearly two minutes of covering shooting, each soldier had a crossbow, twenty arrows, three thousand people, that is, sixty thousand arrows!
However, there were less than 10,000 Xiliang soldiers present!
The losses were heavy, extremely heavy, and before Guo Yan had time to counterattack, the soldiers in front of him fell one by one, dead and wounded, and the wails shook the heavens and the earth.
"Ah!!!h With a roar, Guo Yan is crazy, completely crazy, no, there has never been such a loss, who is Guo Yan? That is one of the three top generals of the Xiliang Army, in such a small place, in just a few minutes, so many people have been lost, what face does Guo Yan have to meet Dong Zhuo, and what face does he have in front of Li Dao and others?
The crazy Guo Yan no longer had any scruples at all, and led the Xiliang army into the grove under the rain of arrows, and everything he saw, whether it was a soldier or a general, was cut and killed mercilessly.
In a short instant.
The number of Tianci soldiers dying at the hands of Guo Yan rose sharply, and even one of the regimental commanders was killed in battle.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Jaw, who was in the rear commanding the overall situation, couldn't help but shrink his pupils, a fierce general! A well-deserved warrior, he couldn't help it, Zhang Jaw held the war knife, and slowly walked towards Guo Yan, although it was said that there were officers blocking Zhang Jaw, but Zhang Jaw ignored it at all, step by step, towards Guo Yan, and the momentum became stronger and stronger!
The collision of the strong makes people crazy!
I felt it, and Guo Yan, who was surrounded by the Tianci army, also felt it, because there were fewer and fewer Xiliang soldiers next to him, as if there was an executioner who was constantly slaughtering, and the speed of the slaughter was very fast, comparable to Guo Yan, and even slightly surpassed!
"Who !! Thou?" Not only did he feel it, but Guo Yan also saw it, and he saw it very clearly, a young general walking towards him looked less than thirty years old, with a white face and no beard, holding a sharp war knife in his hand, and the war knife exuded a cold light!
There are no polearms! The young general in front of Guo Yan is so bold? You must know that although Guo Yan is currently holding a big knife in his hand, this is because Guo Yan has no time to take long-handled weapons, but the generals of the Tianci Army are different, and the Tianci Army occupies a dominant position, so it is completely easy to take weapons.
One inch long and one inch strong!
"I am the general of the ambush army under the tent of the God King, Zhang Jaw and Zhang Junyi!" It's very simple, without the slightest concealment of self-introduction, I saw Zhang Jaw who entered the Xiliang Sergeant Group, and then between the horizontal and vertical slashes, one by one the population flew up, and no one could resist the footsteps of Zhang Jaw.
Strong, too strong!
"Bastard, today Grandpa will let you know what a real warrior is!" Seeing Zhang Jaw so recklessly killing and injuring the soldiers of Xiliang, and the name he reported was a general, Guo Yan couldn't help but blush, because, until now, Guo Yan is just a school captain!
