Chapter 30: Sending troops to the rescue
"Li Zhengfang, a certain family has been waiting for a long time!"
With a long roar, a figure came out from the front, and then in all directions, countless figures slowly surrounded him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Yan was startled, pulled the reins and froze, and looked carefully.
The man rode a tall black horse, with a slender body, clad in strong armor, and a tiger-headed golden spear in his hand.
"Whoever comes, dare to report their names!" Seeing that his momentum was extraordinary, Li Yan didn't dare to be careless and asked.
The man's horse was fast, but it was a matter of time for Li Yan to be shallow, and he stopped from the high speed with a flick of the horse's head, and said steadily:
"A certain Wuwei Zhang Xiu, who was ordered by General Zuo to come to take your life!"
Northland Gun King Zhang Xiu!
Li Yan felt bitter in his heart, Zhang Xiu's reputation was not obvious at this moment, but Zhang Xiu was waiting here, and the enemy troops around him were faintly encircled, which also showed that Huangfu Song's previous shows of weakness were all for this moment.
Zhang Xiu probed Li Yan a few times, knowing that his martial arts must be extraordinary, but he was not afraid at the moment, and shouted:
"It's useless to talk more, Rong will meet you!"
After speaking, he stepped forward and took the spear directly to Li Yan's heart, and with his movements, the soldiers who surrounded him accelerated their pace, and fought with the Wancheng army under the leadership of Huangfu Song, who had finished cleaning up the mess in the village!
"Crackling."
Li Yan and Zhang Xiu both use spears, but Zhang Xiu's spearmanship is the master of the great master, and he is Tong Yuan's big disciple.
"Kill a Wancheng soldier and reward a hundred, and capture and kill Li Yan's official to the third order!"
Huangfu Song lost a lot of money to wait for today's opportunity, how could he let Li Yan go, and promised to boost morale with a heavy reward at the moment.
"Haha, Li Zhengfang, you are not good at martial arts, but your head is valuable, so you will receive the reward from a certain family!" Unlike Li Yan, who fought hard, Zhang Xiu seemed much more relaxed, and a tiger-headed golden gun galloped vertically and horizontally, and he could take Li Yan's life without counting!
Li Yan sweated like rain, gritted his teeth and persevered, looking back at the Wancheng army that had no one to command, he had suffered heavy casualties, and knew that if he was entangled with Zhang Xiu again, the whole army would be annihilated.
Zhang Xiu was bluffed by him, and immediately became furious, the spear was picked, and it was directly pierced in Li Yan's back, and his wrist was used to directly pick Li Yan under the horse, but Li Yan directly stretched out his hand and pulled out the head of the spear, and then returned to the halberd non-stop, shouting:
"Sweep!"
The main general returned, and the Wancheng army breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly broke out, launching the second-level combat method of the halberd soldiers.
However, more than 3,000 halberders were misplaced, and the halberds were as dense as a forest of dogs' teeth, and then in Li Yan's roar, he brandished his spear and instantly killed the surrounding Huangfu army into a big hole!
"Withdraw to Wancheng!"
Finally opened the encirclement, how dare Li Yan take a moment longer, and immediately led the remaining soldiers to retreat towards Wancheng. As for Liao Xiong Lecheng and the 3,000 halberds accompanying him, it can only be regarded as self-inflicted, no wonder!
"Give me chase!" Seeing that Li Yan was about to escape, Zhang Xiu was furious and ordered his troops and horses to continue the pursuit, but was stopped by Huangfu Song.
"This is a good time to take advantage of the victory and pursuit, why did the Lord stop me?" Zhang Xiu frowned, looked at Huangfu and asked in a cold voice.
"Then Li Zhengfang is familiar with military affairs, and if he chases down and loses his formation at this moment, he may take advantage of it. Today, most of the living forces have been annihilated in one fell swoop, and the victory has been decided, so there is no need to rush for a while. ”
Zhang Xiu was silent when she heard this, but she was a little disappreciative in her heart, I'm afraid it's not the old thing, you're tired, right? But after all, Huangfu Song was the main general, and Zhang Xiu did not dare to disobey the military order, so he swept the spear and retreated.
Hum. Zhang Xiu's disrespect to Huangfu Song can't be seen, but he is now committed to the thief, so naturally he is not as close as Zhang Xiu and Li Guo of the Xiliang team. If it weren't for the emperor...
The two parted unhappily, but the halberdiers who really won a big battle cared about this, and happily cleaned up the battlefield and calculated their exploits.
After a night of fierce fighting, the sky was bright in the blink of an eye.
....
In Wancheng, the doctor was bandaging Li Yan's wounds, Zhang Xiu's gun was fast, although it was poked in the back, but it left a big mouth, Li Yan only felt that the left half of his body was a little numb, and when he moved his arm, his whole body was like a needle prick, and he couldn't use his strength anymore.
Li Yan was silent, and his face was pale as he recalled Huangfu Song's initial actions. This old traitor fought the idea of showing weakness and ambushing, but he was cautious and unmoved, and he could have won the victory if he dragged it on, but he didn't want Liao Xiong and the two to be greedy and impatient, and went out of the city without permission, not to mention the damage to himself, and also pulled most of the elite soldiers to accompany the funeral, it was himself... Alas. Sighing silently, Li Yan called the document and dictated it to record, writing down all the events of last night, without saying a word, nor shirking his responsibility for lax care.
After the secret letter was written, Li Yan ordered his subordinates to send it to Shangyong for help, but at present, he could only go out and defend the city hard.
Three days later, Li Yanxin had not yet reached Shangyong, but the 5,000 cavalry of Liu Rui's team who came to support had a fight with Huangfu Song's troops under the city.
Fortunately, Li Yan saw that the opportunity was wrong, opened the city gate and ordered the soldiers in the city to rescue, and the reinforcements of the 5,000 cavalry were afraid that they would be wiped out before they reached the city.
Liu Rui himself was robbed into the city by his loyal men, and he smiled bitterly when he met Li Yan, who was also seriously injured.
"That embroidery doesn't know where it is sacred, it makes such a good martial art." Liu Rui, a newly wounded soldier, recalled the shot that was almost stabbed off the horse, and he remembered the style of that shot.
Li Yan comforted a few words and said:
"In the past few days, I have also asked around, only to know that he is the nephew of Zhang Ji of Dong Zhuo's old department, with extraordinary martial arts and superb marksmanship. This time, Huangfu Song was the pioneer, and he volunteered to follow, but he didn't want to really hurt us. The current situation is difficult. ”
"The plan now is to stick to it. I hope that the lord can send Xingba to help, and with the ability of Xingba, he will definitely make that embroidery can't eat and go around! ”
"Haha, Ziyu's words are true!"
.......
Huangfu Song also knew that if it dragged on, it would attract reinforcements from Shangyong, and he launched a strong attack every day, but he didn't have to bring siege weapons in the first place, and the walls of Wancheng were re-strengthened, so although it was miserable, Wancheng was defended for a while. In this way, Huangfu Song can only come to Chang'an, anyway, he has designed an ambush before, and he has made great contributions, but he is not afraid of provoking criticism within Chang'an.
Both sides insisted on anxiously waiting for reinforcements, and after all, it was Wancheng's secret letter that reached Shangyong first.
In Shangyong City, Lin Li read Li Yanxin's letter word by word with a black face, and was furious.
Liao Xiong was happy to admit that he saw Li Yan alone and stayed to help, but he didn't want to cause a big defeat because of these two people, almost damaging Li Yan and losing Wancheng himself.
But after all, he had already died under Emperor Fu Song, and Lin Li had nowhere to vent his anger, so he immediately called the official of the law to ask for countermeasures.
After the New Year, Fa Zheng was already nineteen years old, but to be honest, after all, there was not much time under Lin Li's tent, and there was no big change from when he first met. It's just that with the training of civil officials, he seems to be a little more mature and stable.
Lin Li handed the secret letter to the two of them to read and asked:
"Zhengfang is seriously injured, and there is no one in Wancheng to defend it, do you two have a good plan?"
In the end of the 93 intelligence, Fa Zheng replied:
"Lord, although Li Zhengfang was injured, there are still nearly 10,000 soldiers in Wancheng, although most of them are not high, but they are more than enough to defend the city. It's just that you need to worry about Chang'an sending another army to help. Moreover, in the right opinion, Captain Liu, who had gone before, was bound to engage the Huangfu army when he arrived in Wancheng, I'm afraid..."
Fa Zheng didn't finish his words, but Lin Li knew what he meant. With Liu Rui's attribute state at this time, it is impossible to be Zhang Xiu's opponent, but I just hope that Li Yan can go out of the city to rescue him, so that he can escape with his life without hindrance, and the parts are all there.
"This embroidery!" Lin Li puffed up the board, he really only had Gan Ning under his command to defeat Zhang Xiu, but Gan Ning's navy did not complete the work, and Lin Li was worried about the invasion of Jiangxia and Liu Biao, so he didn't dare to ask Gan Ning to act rashly.
So what can I do?
The lord fell silent, and the civil officials and officials were also determined to meditate on countermeasures.
And at this time, the civil official spoke.
"Lord, the current plan is to make Xingba attack as the best policy."
Lin Li frowned and explained:
"I know that Xingba can save Wancheng. But Liu Biao is on the side, and I can't help but guard against it. If Xingba attacks, if Liu Biaoshui's army attacks and disturbs, I am afraid it will not be appropriate. ”
But Fa Zheng's eyes lit up, and he said:
"If the lord is worried about Liu Biao, he is really worried!"
Lin Liqi said:
"How does filial piety know?"
Fa Zheng rolled up his sleeves and said in a long voice:
"Table, sit and talk about Ker. Liu Biao is suspicious of human nature, better than sitting and talking, determined to be self-controlled, and has no ambition of the Quartet, he is actually a thief of self-defense, and it is appropriate to be the back picture. At present, Liu Biao occupies the three counties of Xiangyang, Jiangling, and Jiangxia, but he will not try to be mediocre, and he will definitely counterattack the empty city of Xinye to increase his strength. ”
Lin Li was taken aback, he seemed to be a little familiar with Fa Zheng's words.
Yes, the evaluation of Liu Biao by later generations is about the same. Although he was one of the eight horses, he also had grace and power in the early days, and he had a good way to lure, so that thousands of miles were cleared and the people were satisfied. He also started a school, loved the people and raised soldiers, and calmly protected himself, but his life stopped at calmly protecting himself and never took the initiative to attack.
Lin Li was overjoyed, since Liu Biao was not enterprising, wouldn't it be a waste of talent to put Gan Ning in Fangling Port for defense?
At that moment, Lin Li sent someone to order Gan Ning, ordering him to lead 7,000 spearmen and rush to Wancheng to rescue!
