Chapter 708: Merit and Fault

"Knock knock! Knock knock! ”

The roaring war drums resounded through the wilderness outside Wuyin County, and the soldiers of the two armies lined up against each other, shouting and killing and cheering for the earth, like the roar of the gods, wanting to shake the world.

In the open area between the two armies, the two horsemen fought fiercely, it was Wu Lan and Zang Ba.

As for Li Yan's so-called battle with Wei Xu, it didn't happen at all, so Wei Xu probably also communicated with Zang Ba and knew that he was defeated by Li Yan, so he didn't call for a battle at all, and with Li Yan's temperament, he was not idle and panicked, how could he have nothing to do, anyway, this little thing has no impact on the whole plan.

But he was fine, but Wu Lan, who was fighting fiercely in the field, was very troublesome.

At this time, the two sides had been fighting for more than forty times, Wu Lan was more and more invincible, and the danger was full of dangers, and his mind was full of thoughts, hoping to get out quickly and lead Zang Ba to the predetermined position.

Before the war, Li Yan had already told him that he only needed to lead Zang Ba to an open area close to his own formation, saying that all arrangements had been made there.

"Whew!"

Wu Lan's shoulder armor shattered, and was cut by the tip of Zang Ba's spear, and the strength shook the piece of armor away.

Zang Ba's spirit was shocked, knowing that he was almost unable to parry, his hands became more and more fierce, and the surging energy in the shadow of the gun, just looking at it from a distance was enough to make people's hearts beat.

"Wu Lan, you have some skills, it's better to lower me, you can avoid death!"

"Humph!" Wu Lan snorted coldly, didn't have the spirit to speak, and tried her best to parry.

But the more he fought in his heart, the colder he became, because no matter how hard he tried, it was difficult for him to get rid of Zang Ba, let alone lead to that designated position. Li Yan, who was in the middle of the formation in the distance, was completely unmoved, but he couldn't see what the two were fighting. Pretending to whisper to the herald beside him. It seems to be doing tactical deployment.

"Bell!" Another bang. It wasn't the weapons that attacked, but Wu Lan's heart shield was broken, but fortunately, he blocked it with his weapon and removed part of his strength, otherwise even a good heart guard wouldn't be able to block the blow just now, it must be a heart-piercing cold.

But perhaps it was God's mercy, and his luck was not bad, this thorn. Zang Ba was first blocked by it, and then hit the heart guard, not to mention the deformation of the move, but also received a great backlash, unnaturally slowed down, and the war horse also took a few steps sideways.

On the contrary, Wu Lan's war horse couldn't help but retreat in the opposite direction because of that force, and in an instant, a gap appeared between the two.

At this time, Wu Lan still had the strength to fight back. Hurriedly took advantage of the situation to run wildly, and Zang Ba reacted. The backhand shot swept across, but after all, it was a beat slower, the tip of the spear cut through the armor on Wu Lan's back, and saw the flesh and blood that was cut inside rolled up, the end was terrifying, but the person rushed away.

Wu Lan had many scars on his body, coupled with exhaustion, he was already a little drowsy at the moment, but the will to survive still supported him to urge the horse to gallop, and his eyes were only staring at the position pointed out by Li Yan, for him, this was also the last chance.

Zang Ba was willing to give up, pulled out his horse and chased after him, only a few meters behind, even if he only chased one more meter, the sharp blade in his hand was enough to kill Wu Lan.

The shape of this moment can be called a thousand shots.

"It's here!"

Wu Lan's face showed a look of light, as he managed to run to the predetermined position.

Zang Ba doesn't know this, he is just thinking about making meritorious contributions now, after all, he is only one step away from success at this time.

Suddenly, Li Yan burst out with an earth-shattering roar: "Pull! ”

Before almost everyone could react, six ropes suddenly bounced up from under the soil, stretching straight.

One of the six ropes was now in the hands of the sergeants of the formation, and they were running wildly, holding on to the ropes.

At the other end of the rope, the six corners of a large net were connected, and between the lightning and flint, the large net suddenly exploded from the soil, setting off grass clippings, and caught Zang Ba, who was galloping wildly, and even people and horses. In the high-speed sprint, he was suddenly caught in such a net, how could he be lucky, almost when Zang Ba did not react, the people and horses took off together, and fiercely smashed to the ground, setting off dust, that scene was really quite spectacular.

"Take down Zang Ba!"

Li Yanke had no intention of appreciating it, and opened his mouth with a cold face.

The cavalry that had been prepared here did not need to be ordered, they had already galloped away, and after a few moments, they surrounded Zang Ba and put away the weapons that had fallen into the distance.

At this time, Zang Ba was already confused, his mouth was spurting blood, and he couldn't move at all, this was because he was strong and strong, otherwise just now, the bones and tendons were light, and the power of being suddenly caught under high speed and flying out and smashing on the ground was not very different.

This is also the countermeasure that Li Yan thought of, at the same time as he gave an order to Wu Lan the night before, he had already sent someone to make a thick huge net overnight, and took advantage of the night to arrange it outside Wuyin City.

Because the top of the giant net is covered with a thin layer of soil and weeds, so there is no clue, and then use a rope to connect the giant net, directly to the position of the side, and also bury it under the soil layer first, of course, Li Yan has calculated in advance that his army will roughly march to what position to line up, so this plan will be successful.

Just arrived outside the city this morning, when Zang Ba was coming out of the city with soldiers and horses to line up, he had already asked dozens of soldiers to hold the ropes hidden in the ground, until Wu Lan ran above the giant net, Zang Ba chased the giant net, and the soldiers struggled to pull, so that Zang Ba was of course a man and horse, and staged a trapeze tragedy!

Although this small trick is not a great wisdom, the idea is quite whimsical and unexpected. So far, I have never seen anyone use it, who would have thought that in front of the two armies, when the generals were fighting alone, this kind of thing would happen, but although it was despicable, the effect was really good.

The scene just now was long, but in fact, it was only between lightning and flint, and when Wei Xu of the enemy formation reacted, Zang Ba was already wrapped in a huge net and quickly pulled back into the formation.

Wei Xu was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "All the soldiers are killed!" Save General Zang! ”

Li Yan captured the opponent's main general at this moment, how could he still be soft, and immediately raised his gun and shouted: "All the generals will follow this general to break the enemy!" ”

Thundered!

The iron cavalry of the two armies were like two waves, one large and one small, surging together fiercely.

I have to say that although Li Yan is a little selfish, he really has the ability, not only did he kill Wei Xu as soon as possible, but the cavalry of each department charged according to his previous deployment, which also produced miraculous results, obviously he had seen the weaknesses of the opponent's array yesterday and today, and had already made arrangements and was confident.

Wei Xu intersected with him several times, and felt that he was invincible, so he used the cover of the sergeant to avoid the battle with him, and led the soldiers to fight.

Li Yan did not pursue, calmly slaughtered into the enemy formation, and from time to time issued one order after another, and the flag officer behind him waved the banner to instruct how to attack.

At this time, Li Yan's outstanding military talent was reflected, and soon after the fierce battle, the elite cavalry led by Wei Xu had suffered heavy casualties, and the main general was captured and his morale was low, and he was about to be defeated.

Zang Ba's scene just now made Wei Xu a little flustered, and he was obviously invincible at the moment, so he didn't think much about it, but reflexively ordered: "Withdraw!" Remove! ”

"Withdraw?" Li Yan was stunned, but then laughed "haha"!

He understood that the battle had been won outright.

Just kidding, dare to withdraw from this situation now? The two armies are fighting, and the crossbowmen at the head of the city can't play a suppressive role at all, so Wei Xu retreats with his soldiers, wouldn't he directly introduce the enemy army into the city, where will the time to close the city gate?

At this time, Wei Xu's only choice was two roads, one, he left all his soldiers behind, ran back to the city, closed the city gates, and let these elite horsemen outside the city be hanged.

Another is to break through to the death, strive to rush out, and then get rid of the entanglement, go around the other city gates to enter the city, at that time there are crossbowmen at the head of the city to suppress and save Ying, before you can get out of danger, but this method is very dangerous, especially when Wei Xu himself cannot resist the opponent's generals, it is even more difficult.

It's a pity that Wei Xu was in a mess, and out of instinct, he chose the wrong method.

If you don't choose so, there is still a glimmer of life here, even if he dies or is captured, then Wuyin City will not be lost for the time being, although the main general and deputy general have been killed, and it is inevitable that Wuyin City will be broken, but the soldiers in the city can also reduce losses as much as possible under the organization of other officers, whether they are waiting for help, or organizing a retreat, they will not be defeated so badly after all.

Half a day later, the city of Wuyin was broken, Cao's army suffered 1,000 casualties, nearly 3,000 prisoners, and the rest fled, only Wei Xu fled from the north gate with dozens of personal soldiers.

In terms of results, Li Yan's performance this time is not bad, but it's just the process......

Wu Lan was also relieved to see the victory of the army, but she didn't say a word to Li Yan again, and didn't want to talk to him at all unless she had to report it.

Of course, Li Yan will not be bored with himself, and he is doing his own thing, and the good news is also the first to come out......

"Capture the enemy general Zang Ba, kill a thousand enemies, capture more than 3,000, and the rest escape?"

Wang Xu, who was far away on the road, looked at the battle report in his hand and felt a little surprised, he was defeated for a while yesterday, why did he win Wuyin so quickly? Cao Jun is not a clay man, he is slaughtered by others!

As the little colonel who gave the order reported the causes and consequences one by one, Wang Xu knew about it.

It's just that he glanced at Guo Jia and Chen Deng, but they were all quite speechless, and after waving away the herald colonel, he couldn't help but sigh: "This Li Yan, I really don't know what to say!" ”

Guo Jia and Chen Deng sighed, and shook their heads with a wry smile, because of their identity, they did not make a statement.

They are all people who understand, and after learning about the cause and effect, of course, they can see what is in it instantly, but Li Yan is a little selfish, but he is also doing things wholeheartedly, and he doesn't mean to pit anyone, he just cherishes his own life, and now he has won the battle again, can he still blame it.

"That's it!"

After a long time, Wang Xu also sighed slightly: "This battle is a big victory after all, and his people have not violated military discipline, and they have no fault!" ”

Having said that, Guo Jia and Chen Deng, who are familiar with him, understand that Wang Xu is a little uncomfortable in his heart, if it is a weekday, he must be a great achievement on the spot, but now there is only one meritorious person, which is enough to see his intentions.
