Chapter 354: General Wei Yan
The glow of the sky pierced the white of the sky, and the golden auspicious clouds lingered, as if to welcome the red sun that had just emerged from the mountain. The flowers and trees of Hesse also showed a piece of oily light at this time, blooming with their own wonderful posture. But at this moment, they all looked a little overshadowed, because the glowing armor and weapons, the passionate war drums and the shouts of the soldiers had covered them all up, and they were moving.
As the main general, Wang Xu rode his horse and stood in front of the Chinese army, his bright eyes quietly watching the fierce battle ahead. The thin lips were tightly closed, adding a touch of coldness to his knife-like face, revealing his inner fortitude and determination.
And the head of the lower Jun City is fiercely contested at the moment. Guan Hai personally supervised the formation under the city, wandering between the various departments, roaring and urging the soldiers to launch a continuous charge to the city. The iron barbs inlaid at the top of the ladder were stuck on the edge of the city wall, making it difficult for the soldiers at the head of the city to overturn the ladder, and they could only use weapons to pry nervously.
But the soldiers in the charge will not give you too much time, the soldiers in the front row put the wooden shield on their heads with their left hands, and the bronze head knife on their backs with their right hands was held back, and they gently held the edge of the ladder and quickly climbed up. Trained to climb to the top of the city, they jumped up the walls and entered hand-to-hand combat. Of course, the premise is that they can dodge the opponent's fierce first round of slashes.
In battle, whether the soldiers are elite or not, you can know at a glance. Seeing that the Jingnan soldiers were landing the city so quickly, the young Wei Yan was also frowning, and seeing that his soldiers were exhausted during their actions, their morale was quite low, and the strength of the counterattack was not enough, so they were already anxious. It didn't take long for him to shout violently, and he personally rushed to the front line to block and boost morale, and the unique full-body armor and broadsword were particularly eye-catching.
However, he was seen from afar. The corners of Wang Xu's mouth slowly pulled out an arc. My heart was filled with a faint joy. Although I haven't seen his appearance, from his unique dress and bravery, I can already know that the other party is Wei Yan, and he had to go into battle in person so early, which is enough to show that the situation of the other party's soldiers is not optimistic. In this way, the outcome of this battle can already be determined.
"The second part is out!" Without any hesitation, Wang Xu waved his hand and issued a new order.
"No!"
After answering the call in unison. The flag warrior who was not far from Wang Xu's side did not slack off, and immediately waved it according to a unique trajectory. The soldiers who were always ready did not slack off, and under the leadership of Jun Sima, another thousand men rushed out fiercely, with shield soldiers in front, lined up in a loose array. Dodging the rain of arrows at the head of the city, he quickly approached the city walls.
As the minutes passed, the battle for the head of the city became more and more fierce, but the siege soldiers still had the upper hand, although the morale and body were much higher than the other party, but after all, the number was too small. Of course, Wang Xu also knew that it was impossible to take down Xia Jun with the 3,000 people in his hands. The assault is just to increase the pressure. Just wait for the troops on the left and right flanks to appear. Then the loss of the next Jun is inevitable.
He turned his head to look at the sun, which was already hanging in the sky, faintly emitting heat. Wang Xu couldn't help frowning, chattering to himself: "It's time to arrive!" β
As he was talking, there was a sudden sound from the west of Xiajun City, "Knock knock!" The war drums roared, and after a while, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the momentum far exceeded this side.
In an instant, the pot exploded above the head of Xiajun City, and the soldiers panicked, not knowing why someone suddenly killed in Xicheng. Wei Yan, who was gritting his teeth and fighting, also trembled, retreated suddenly, and hurriedly rushed to the west.
I didn't take a few steps, but I met the soldiers who rushed to give the order, and when I saw the main general Wei Yan, I immediately said urgently: "General Wei, Xicheng suddenly killed thousands of soldiers and horses and launched a fierce charge against me. You Sima is leading everyone to resist, but the troops are too small, and he asks General Wei for reinforcements! β
"Shhh...... Thousands? Wei Yan suddenly gasped, he had a total of five thousand light cavalry in his hands, and now he was used as an infantry to defend the city, he was already extremely tired, how could he still have the ability to face a strong enemy.
Just when he was hesitating, there was an earth-shattering shout of killing in the east of the city again, and the momentum was no longer compromising than the soldiers and horses in the west of the city. In an instant, the tight string in Wei Yan's heart snapped off. I finally understood that what the silver-armored general outside the door did last night must be a tired soldier's technique.
Knowing that in the middle of the plan, Xia Jun could no longer be forced, Wei Yan was really decisive enough, his eyes narrowed, and he quickly ordered: "Inform You Sima and organize the soldiers to retreat!" β
"No!" The soldier replied hurriedly, and immediately ran back in a panic.
Seeing this, Wei Yan turned his head at this time, glanced fiercely at the Jingnan soldiers outside the city, stomped his feet violently, and organized the soldiers to start fighting and retreating.
"General, the enemy has withdrawn! The enemy forces are withdrawn! β
The movement at the head of the city, the generals and soldiers on standby under the city also quickly saw it, and they all made surprise calls. Only Wang Xu shook his head helplessly, and said secretly: "Good Wei Yan, if you are really a general, if you are two quarters of an hour late, you will be captured alive today." β
However, at this moment, the shape of shΓ¬ did not allow Wang Xu to think too much, a moment later, seeing that the city gate was opened by his own soldiers, Guan Hai led the soldiers who were still under the city to swarm in, and immediately did not hesitate, the fire dragon raised and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order!" Charge! β
Before the words fell, the people were already the first to ride their horses and rush out, galloping towards the enemy city. In the end, he shouted: "Capture the enemy's main general Wei Yan alive, and reward 20,000 yuan!" β
As soon as he said this, the soldiers in the charge suddenly lifted their spirits, and they all roared wildly: "Capture Wei Yan alive!" β
"Capture Wei Yan alive!"
The Blue Dragon Knight, who was originally resting in the back, saw this great victory, and couldn't take a break, and under the leadership of Zhao Yun, he avoided the foot soldiers in front of him, made a detour from both wings, and rushed to the north. In that case, it was obvious that they wanted to intercept the enemy troops retreating from the northern city.
At the same time, Zhang Liao, Xu Sheng, Han Meng, Wang Fei and others, who were far away on the two wings, were not slow, seeing the enemy retreating from the northern city, they immediately led the soldiers who had not yet participated in the siege, turned to the north, and chased all the way.
After a while, the generals met outside the northern city and slashed along the road. It's just that Wei Yan personally led his troops to break off, and the retreat of the troops was also very orderly, which greatly hindered the speed of everyone's pursuit. Although the Blue Dragon Knight led by Zhao Yun was fast, he was already very tired, and in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, he didn't dare to rush too fast, so he could only follow the army.
In the midst of the chaotic battle, Zhang Liao once met with Wei Yan and didn't say a word. Ask for a gun. It was already going straight away, which made Wang Xu, who had glimpsed it from afar, feel tight, and he was really afraid of accidents. Of course, the possibility of Zhang Liao's accident is relatively small, and Wei Yan is relatively large, but Wang Xu now has the idea of subduing Wei Yan, and it is not cost-effective to let him die here in vain.
But Wei Yan really didn't disappoint. Fought with Zhang Liao for more than 20 moves, regardless of victory or defeat. It was only as the army approached, seeing that all the generals were approaching him, and seeing that the shape was not good, he took advantage of a gap and hurriedly retreated. Run away.
After chasing more than ten miles, seeing that the soldiers were exhausted, and the enemy army had not been completely defeated, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Wang Xu ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and slowly retreat to Xiajun. At the same time, he sent a sentry to inform Song Qian, who was still circling the bend in the north, and asked him to quickly lead the 10,000 sailors back to Baqiu, if it was not necessary. You must not leave the city. And prepare a lot of rolling stones, sandalwood, hot oil, bows and arrows, and so on. Fortifications are reinforced in case of accidents......
After returning to the city. Because of the victory in the first battle, the momentum of Liu Biao's army was suppressed, and Wang Xu was also in a good mood. Immediately ordered to add food to all the soldiers, and those who have meritorious service will be counted in the merit book, and they will be rewarded after the war, and the merits of the dead will also be rewarded to their families.
Subsequently, he took the generals to concentrate on the doctors to treat the wounded soldiers, visit the soldiers, assign the next duty rotation, and quickly pass the horse to the rear, so that Huan Su and Yang Feng could quickly transport a batch of logistics materials first. After being busy for a while, I finally got free time and returned to the county government.
"Hahahaha! It's a really good fight. As soon as he entered the conference hall, Wang Fei was already laughing heroically.
"Yes! It's always so exciting to fight with the lord. Xu Huang also replied with emotion.
Hearing this, Wang Xu smiled slightly and shook his head: "Eh! Don't say that, this time it's all filial piety, and it has nothing to do with me. β
"Without the wise decision of the lord, this battle would not be so easy!" Han Meng immediately took over and said.
"Huh!" Knowing that the generals were still excited at the moment, Wang Xu didn't argue with them much, turned his head to look at Zhang Liao, who was silent with a smile, and said with a smile: "Wen Yuan, how do you feel about fighting with Wei Yan today?" β
With these words, the generals quickly calmed down and looked at Zhang Liao one after another.
"Very strong!" Zhang Liao was silent for a long time, but slowly spit out two words.
"Oh?" Hearing this, the generals' brows were all furrowed. Zhang Liao's martial arts, everyone is very clear, and everyone knows what Cheng dΓΉ has been. If you can say two strong words from his mouth, it means that this person is indeed extraordinary.
Although Wang Xu also knew it in his heart, he hadn't seen it in person after all, he only knew it from books before, how could he believe it. So I couldn't help but ask: "Then what is this Cheng dΓΉ so strong, more than 20 moves, there should be some opinions!" Don't worry about anything else, you can just say it. β
"Hmm!" Nodding, Zhang Liao hesitated and looked at the generals in the hall, and then said slowly: "Actually, the last general is not sure now. In today's battle, the last general fought with Wei Yan for a total of twenty-nine moves, and the first ten moves were tentative attacks, with no results, I just felt that he was not an ordinary person. The real key thing was the last three moves, his momentum at that time skyrocketed instantly, which surprised the last general, but if he stopped there, it would definitely not be the last general's opponent. But you can feel that he didn't give it his all. β
"How many layers did you play at that time?" Wang Xu said curiously.
"It should be...... Seven floors! Zhang Liao hesitated.
These people have already understood a little, judging from Zhang Liao's statement, this general's words on martial arts alone are definitely above half of the people present, and they were a little silent for a while.
Wang Xu smiled slightly, and continued disappreciatively: "Hehe, this Wei Yan does seem to be a rare fierce general, and judging from the situation that he retreated in time today and can be organized in an orderly manner, he should also be a rare general." It seems that you have to try to submit, otherwise it is a pity to follow Liu Biao. β
These words instantly made all the generals smile and eased the atmosphere. Dian Wei even released a bold statement on the spot. "Lord, let me block him next time, with the assistance of the generals, it shouldn't be difficult to capture him alive, there are so many fierce generals present, I'm afraid he can run."
"Hahaha!" Dian Wei's honest voice immediately amused everyone.
Although he knew that there were few opportunities like that, Wang Xu still smiled in order to ease the atmosphere: "Okay, then next time you go to block him, and then everyone will rush up, even if it is Lu Bu, I am afraid that he will have to be caught!" β
Instead, Dian Wei scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Lord, if Lu Bu wants to run, I may not be able to stop it alone, so I have to let Zilong go with me." β
These words made everyone even happier and laughed more than once. "Hahahaha!"
Wang Xu shook his head with a smile, and didn't say anything more, but looked at Zhao Yundao: "Zilong, how many war horses have been captured in this battle?" When Wei Yan retreated, there was no time for too many soldiers to get on the horses, and when he retreated, I saw that many people were galloping on foot, and there should be a lot of horses! β
Zhao Yun, who was originally smiling, heard Wang Xu's inquiry, quickly turned his head and replied: "There are quite a few, there are about two thousand horses in the city, and with the seizures on the way to the pursuit, there are probably less than three thousand horses." β
"Hehe, this is a big catch!" Wang Xu was overjoyed and continued: "Then you immediately send someone to escort the horses back, don't stay on the front line, it's very unsafe." β
"No!" Zhao Yun smiled and surrendered.
"Hmm!" Wang Xu smiled and nodded, knowing that Zhao Yun would do it well, so he didn't tell him more, and said instead: "Okay, I was busy all night last night, and you should be hungry too, let's go!" Let's go to have a meal together and have some wine, which is considered a celebration. But let's say it first, no one can get drunk, and it's just this meal, and you can't drink without permission! β
As soon as these words came out, all the generals laughed, obviously waiting for them for a long time. Glancing at each other, he replied with a smile: "No! (To be continued, if you want to know what happens, please log on to http://www.biquge.info.)
