Chapter 226: Besieged
Zhijiang is about six miles away from Yunwu City, is a medium river about five or six zhang wide, he originates from the Liupanshui vein, by the convergence of countless streams, meandering and flowing for hundreds of miles, in Zhiyang into the Huangshui.
From Yunwu to the east across the Zhijiang River, there are two official roads, corresponding to two bridges, two or three miles apart, when Yan Xing led 10,000 troops across the Zhijiang River, the two bridges will also be deserted.
Half an hour later, dozens of heads suddenly emerged from the river, quietly approached the river bank under the cover of the fog, and then climbed up silently, and quietly touched the back of several Han Suijun of the palace, and the steel knife was wiped on the neck, and the scouts were immediately put to the ground, and they didn't even have time to scream.
At the same time, ghostly heads also quietly emerged around the riverbank, and there were about a dozen people in each place, who were as skilled as water ghosts, and climbed ashore in the blink of an eye, and quietly stretched out the blades in their hands to those soldiers who had not wiped.
After half a pillar of incense, after making sure that the remnants of the surrounding enemy had been cleared, those who came out of the water quickly gathered together, and the first person was Gan Ning, who was ambushed in the Zhijiang River this time in order to demolish the Zhijiang Bridge and cut off the retreat of Han Sui's army back to Yunwu, because there was a trap set by Wei Yan in front of him, which was tailor-made for Yan Xing.
"Tear down the bridge!" Gan Ning ordered loudly.
Two hundred Jinfan soldiers and Baling soldiers divided into two roads and ran towards the two bridges, Gan Ning carried a big knife in his hand and watched the soldiers begin to dismantle the bridges.
After a while, Gan Ning looked at the two bridges that had been demolished, and with a big move, he led two hundred soldiers to hide in the dark.
On the bank of the Huangshui River west of Zhiyang County, Yan Xing led 10,000 Han Sui troops to march rapidly on the official road, and at this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the east. Seeing countless soldiers fleeing, Yan Xing was stunned and shouted, "What happened? ”
"General cavalry, there's an army from the south!"
Yan Xing was taken aback, could it be that there was an ambush for the state army here? At that moment, I put up the curtain and looked to the east, only to see the dust rising. An army was galloping forward, and in a moment it rushed to the front, headed by the general Huang Husa under the crotch, holding a dragon pattern sword, it was Zhou Tai, the general under Lu Bu's tent.
"Haha, Wen Chang asked me to patrol the mountain, I don't want to bump into you here, I deserve to build this great work!" Zhou Tai spat at the mouthful and pointed at He Jing and scolded. It turned out that he regarded He Jing as Yan Xing.
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Tai raised his knife and rode his horse, rushing to He Jing's eyes like a gust of wind, He Jing couldn't parry, only to see Zhou Tai with the knife in his hand, and slashed at He Jing, just at this moment, Yan Xing next to He Jing waved his gun. One shot picked off Zhou Tai's coiled knife.
Zhou Tai only felt that the center of gravity of the knife in his hand was offset, and the knife fell in his hand. The head of the war horse under He Jing's crotch was slashed and flying, and the war horse died tragically on the spot, overturning He Jing to the ground and rolling out more than a foot away.
He Jing's face turned pale in shock, and he looked at Zhou Tai blankly.
was ruined by others, Zhou Tai pointed at Yan Xing with a knife and scolded: "Where did the little white face come from." Dare to stop me from winning great achievements, this place is narrow, can you go to the plains with me to fight? ”
The spear in Yan Xing's hand pulled three spear flowers, moved forward with one hand, pointed at Zhou Tai and sneered: "I'm afraid you won't make it!" ”
Although I know that this little white face is a master of using a gun. But Zhou Tai was not afraid at all, and sneered: "The carving insect skill also dares to show off here!" ”
After the ridicule, Zhou Tai took the reins in his hand, Le Ma returned to his own formation, and led 5,000 people to slowly withdraw from the official road, setting up a position on a vast plain.
Yan Xing snorted coldly, slapped the horse's buttocks, and the horse was about to rush away.
He Jing hurriedly got up, grabbed Yan Xing's reins, and admonished: "General, beware of deception!" ”
Yan Xing grinned: "General He is too worried, this enemy general is a bit stupid, he can actually admit the main general wrong, can he still ambush us with his brain?" If there was really an ambush, he wouldn't have appeared in front of us in front of us just now, wouldn't this be an extra move? And he just said that he was here to patrol the mountains."
"General, Anzhi is not a plan?" He Jing still admonished bitterly.
Yan Xing was slightly displeased: "If you are worried that it is a trap, since you can leave two thousand people in the palace, I will lead eight thousand people to meet the battle, that's all!" After Yan Xing finished speaking, he immediately flew his war horse and led the eight thousand Han Sui army to kill the official road.
He Jing stomped his feet and hurriedly led the remaining two thousand people to follow.
On the bank of the Huangshui River, in an open land with a radius of more than ten miles, the two sides set up a formation, waving flags, and the drums of war were like thunder.
Under the banner, Yan Xing stared at the Bingzhou army two miles away, with a sneer on his face, although the Bingzhou army had bright armor and high morale, it was indeed an elite division, but he didn't dare to agree with the brains of this leading general.
After the drums of war fell, and the state army opened the flag, the previous member of the Han general came out on horseback, eight feet tall, black armor without helmets, holding a bright and dangling sword, majestic, he shouted: "I am Jiujiang Zhou Tai is also, who dares to fight with me?" ”
Without waiting for his generals to ask for help, Yan Xing rushed out with a column of war horses, and went straight to Zhou Tai with an iron spear in his hand: "The enemy general is crazy, Jincheng Yan Xing is here!" ”
Zhou Tai laughed: "Yellow-mouthed son, eat me with a knife!" ”
The two horses are close to each other, Yan Xing and Zhou Tai don't talk to each other, urging the horses to fight, knives and guns are exchanging, murderous, both of them belong to the upper echelons of martial arts, their strength is equal, and they soon fought together.
After more than 20 rounds of fierce fighting, Zhou Tai Xu shook a shot, turned his horse and left, and called the enemy army powerful.
Where is Yan Xing willing to give up, roared, and chased closely, the soldiers in the Han Sui army saw that the enemy general had been defeated, and the eight thousand Han Sui soldiers shouted, brandishing swords and guns to cover up and kill, He Jing couldn't stop him on the side, so he could only do it there in a hurry.
The main general of the Bingzhou army was defeated, and it was difficult to resist the morale of Han Sui's army, which made the Bingzhou army have no intention of fighting, turned around and fled, and the defeat was like a mountain for a while.
He Jing, who was watching the battle from behind, looked at it more and more wrongly, only to see that the army of Bingzhou was neat and the position was stable, although the main general was defeated, but it would affect morale at most, and it would not be so defeated before the battle.
He could see clearly that many soldiers of the Bingzhou Army simply turned around and fled for no reason, and went to defeat and retreat in an orderly manner, defeated but not chaotic, but He Jing found out too late, and it was too late.
"Bell, bell, bell" A few piercing bangs sounded, and smoke and dust rose from all sides.
Yan Xing suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly shouted: "Don't pursue, Mingjin withdraws his troops!" ”
There were a few more bangs, and the soldiers of the pursuing Han Sui army withdrew one after another, and at this moment, a scout cavalry rushed behind him, and reported nervously: "General Qiqi, there is a merger army in the east, about 5,000 people!" ”
Yan Xing was taken aback, and before he could react, scouts kept coming from all directions.
"General Qiyu, there is a Bingzhou army in the north, about 5,000 people!"
"General Qiyu, there is a state army on the south bank of Huangshui, about 4,000 people!"
And the state army appeared from all directions and actually surrounded them! “
At this time, Zhou Tai led the army and stopped fleeing, and Zhou Tai stopped his war horse and shouted: "Array, kill back!" ”
The well-trained troops of the state quickly stopped fleeing, they fled in an orderly manner, and there was no confusion, and under the command of the captains of the various departments, they quickly assembled the whole team.
Zhou Tai raised his head and stared at Yan Xing, who was no longer chasing in the distance, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a sneer, and shouted loudly: "Yan Xing, do you understand until now?" It's a pity it's late, do you really think I don't know you? ”
Zhou Tai's task is to lure Yan Xing into the encirclement and contain him, this is Wei Yan's strategy, Yan Xing is a good martial artist, but he is proud by nature, and will never admit defeat easily, he was defeated by Wei Yan repeatedly, and desperately needs a victory to wash away his humiliation, and Zhou Tai happened to play the defeated army that was repelled by Yan Xing, it turned out that Wei Yan's strategy worked, when Yan Xing realized that Zhou Tai was deliberately defeated, he had fallen into the encirclement of the state army, in order to capture this tiger general, Wei Yan really put a lot of effort.
"General, General Wei Yan is here," shouted one of the guards, pointing to the north.
Zhou Tai turned around, only to see an army of 5,000 people slowly coming to this side, waving the flag, the black oppressive army could not be seen at a glance, Zhou Tai immediately urged the horse to meet him, the first person, as if it was Wei Yan, the commander of the middle route army.
Lu Bu let Wei Yan serve as the main general this time, just to see if Wei Yan is as brave and resourceful as Huang Zhong said, if this is the case, then there will be a team of soldiers and horses attacking Wudu in the future commanded by Wei Yan, if not, Wei Yan only has the life of serving as a deputy general, but according to the last few battles, Wei Yan is indeed a qualified commander.
"Wen Chang, I have successfully dragged down Yan Xing's army, and I fought with him just now, but seriously, this Yan Xing's force is really not weak, if it was in its heyday, I might not be his opponent, but at this time he is still young, I can clean him up after one hundred and fifty rounds!" Zhou Tai urged him to step forward immediately and immediately report the battle situation to Wei Yan, after all, Wei Yan was the main general, and some things still needed to be decided by him personally.
Wei Yan grinned: "General Youping has worked hard and successfully trapped Yan Xing, and he will ask the lord for credit for Youping!" ”
Wei Yan was very happy in his heart, he always had a pimple in his heart, because Huang Zhong, Zhou Tai, Xu Huang, and Gan Ning, who took refuge with him, had all made great achievements, especially Xu Huang and Gan Ning, the two of them had commanded the army alone many times, but they did not have it once, this time he was able to serve as the chief general of the Middle Route Army, all of which Huang Zhong and himself had won, if Yan Xing was captured alive this time, it would definitely make Lu Bu and Jia Xu look at each other differently, and there would be more opportunities to make meritorious contributions at that time, and it would not be in vain that he had fought on the battlefield for so many years.
Thinking of this, Wei Yan looked up at the Bingzhou army that had gradually shrunk the encirclement, and immediately issued an order: "The three armies listen to my order and start besieging Han Sui's army!" ”
When he found himself in a heavy siege, Yan Xing and He Jing joined forces, under He Jing's suggestion, he immediately led the army to retreat to Yunwu County, Yunwu as the first county of Jincheng County, the city is high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it can hold on for two days, Han Sui will inevitably send reinforcements, however, things are not as simple as he thought.
