Let's talk about Wu Cao, since the annexation of Cuihe City, recruit talents in the inner region, compulsory recruitment of militia, all those below the age of ancient are included in the army, and settle in Cuihe City, the rear granary is endless, this city has been impregnable, Wu Cao heard the Malay report, many forces in the outer region will fight together.
Wu Cao quickly ordered the generals to take advantage of this rare opportunity, poured out of the nest, led the army to attack the surrounding cities, and took it for themselves like a devastating and decaying state, and the heroes now have no time to take care of Wu Cao, and they must first settle inside because of the melee in Cangyun City.
Ji Yan heard that the reinforcements were coming, he was overjoyed, so that his subordinates were ready for battle, and wrote a letter that was secretly sent to the hands of the heroes, the meaning of the letter was, please be calm and not impatient, set up camp in the dense forest twenty miles west of Cangyun City, and attack Zhao Wu in the next night.
You received the order, in the dense forest under the village, the southwest of the hand of the heroes of the river, sitting on the city of twenty-five seats, under the command of the elite generals a total of about 500,000 people, sent 100,000 troops to accompany reinforcements, because of its huge momentum, the heroes regard it as a command, obey its orders.
Yijiang gathered to discuss the enemy's plan, the enemy did not know that the reinforcements had arrived, if it was taken by surprise, the enemy would not be expected, so the chaos would inevitably collapse, and the siege could be solved.
Xu Quan ordered his sergeants to light a fire on the spot and rest less, to wait for work, because he and the unification of the same stream, many forces are respectful and far away, Shen Yue secretly said, "The ambition of the group has a ghost, and you are the target of the public, and you need to walk on thin ice in the future." ”
When dusk is approaching, the sergeants under the command of Zhao Wu besieged the city for several days without seeing reinforcements, it is inevitable to take it lightly, see the sunset, then Mingjin collected the troops and returned to the camp for rectification, the two sergeants lit a fire to cook, for a time it was silent, only the biting cold wind whistled in the ears, the sergeants under the command of Ji Yanming were full of food and waiting for the battle tonight, so that the military minister Sun Xuan under his command bore the brunt, and when the reinforcements arrived, they would lead the army out of the city to fight back.
Besides, Sun Xuan, originally a military minister under the command of Cang Rang, his strength can be called the three armies of the Yongguan, make good use of the long knife, the name of the knife is different, it is the weapon held by the Wucheng under the command of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times, and now it has fallen into his hands, so far there are more than 1,000 souls under the knife, and the strength cannot be underestimated, and Wu You's son Wu Xie is on par.
The night is approaching, the sergeants of the enemy camp have been asleep, Xu Quan Wu has ordered the sergeants under his command to be well fed and lightly dressed, and quietly marched to the south of Cangyun City five miles to ambush, Yijiang has ordered his sixty elite soldiers to be divided into ten columns, and ambush on ten sides to secretly surround the enemy.
When the enemy camp camp, Zhao Wu saw the good news continuously, although the enemy city is solid, but only need to attack every day and night, not more than three months to wait for its food and grass is not enough, when the army is discouraged, you can pour out of the nest and kill into the city, the palace can capture Ji Yan alive, sweep the southwest, Zhao Wu is happy, gather people to drink every day.
It just so happened that during today's banquet, a Wenchen admonished and said, "Although Ji Yan is already a caged bird, if he unites the two regions in the southwest to fight against us......"
Zhao Wu was half-drunk, his face was red, and he replied with a smile: "Don't you hear that the northern army is good at fighting, and the eastern army is good at scheming? ”
Wen Chen saw that his mouth was like a river, knowing that he was drunk, no longer speaking, only meaning and sighing, Zhao Wu saw it, knew that he was out of shape, afraid that the generals would laugh, and said vaguely, "I will order the sergeants to be more vigilant tomorrow, if the enemy reinforcements arrive, I will be a prophet." ”
Zhao Wu drank until he was drunk, and he staggered out to relieve his emergency, but he saw that the sergeant in the camp was like the color of the earth, and his eyes were all in one place, Zhao Wu looked and saw that there were seven crows on the wooden village in the camp, standing side by side, screaming in unison, this was a sign of great evil, Zhao Wu was afraid that the army's heart was shaken, and he quickly ordered the sergeant to drive it away.
As everyone knows, according to the order of Yijiang, Xu Quan is the forerunner, Wu You and several monarchs bear the brunt, leading 200,000 troops, and have quietly lurked everywhere, Zhao Wuben took advantage of the siege of the city, but unexpectedly was surrounded by enemy reinforcements today.
Cangyun City is located in the plain terrain, looking at a horse Pingchuan, Zhao Wu's subordinates to explore the horse to see the vision within a radius of 100 miles, return to Zhao Wu, Zhao Wu and read tonight's bad omen, I want to collect the troops back to the city, and I am afraid that if there is no strange image and miss the opportunity, hesitated, a military general into the admonition said, "Don't worry, the lord of Cangyun City most of the soldiers are physically and mentally exhausted, if the lord is afraid of the enemy reinforcements, I will lead the army to break the city tomorrow." ”
Zhao Wuranzhi, speaking of Xu Quan, saw that the elite soldiers under his command had secretly surrounded the enemy camp, and the enemy knew nothing about it, knowing that this was an opportunity to take advantage of, he ordered the sergeants to prepare and wait for Ji Yan's signal.
Ji Yan ordered more than 100 soldiers to hold torches to climb the city tower, light hay and firewood, Xu Quan saw the light smoke rising, and quickly ordered the elite soldiers under his command to beat the drum, for a time the drum sounded loudly, it can be called piercing the clouds and cracking stones, Zhao Wu heard the drums in the enemy camp, and was shocked, and quickly let people go out of the camp to visit.
Those who came out of the camp saw the enemy army surging from all directions like a tide, and the four gates of Cangyun City were opened, and the soldiers in the city poured out of the nest, killing the camp like a hungry eagle and a hungry tiger.
Xu Quan ordered his infantry soldiers not to enter the enemy camp, but only raised their shields to meet the enemy ten zhang outside the enemy camp, so that the fire archers fired at the enemy camp, and the enemy camp turned into a sea of fire in an instant, and the scorched corpses and wreckage could be seen everywhere.
Besides, Ji Yan, seeing the arrival of reinforcements, quickly ordered the army to open the city gate, and all the soldiers went out to meet the enemy, Zhao Wu suffered from the enemy on his back, and saw that the camp was on fire, and he was embattled, so he had to order his military ministers to flee.
Xu Quan saw the enemy in the chaos of the army, knowing that the victory was in his hands, that is, he took the lead in the horse and fell into battle, and caught a glimpse of Zhao Wu in the enemy camp, he was dressed in a golden red robe, which was very eye-catching, Xu Quan saw that he was accompanied by several generals to escort him to escape, that is, he called the holy shadow, and took his gun and rode away.
Xu Quan's crotch under the fog white horse as fast as thunder, all the way galloping in the chaos of the army from the straight Zhao Wu, Zhao Wu saw the enemy's black armor ink robe, shocked, quickly ordered a general to resist the enemy, who expected the two sides to disparity in strength, the enemy general did not avoid Xu Quan's head-on stab, by his bark in the door fell from the horse and died.
Zhao Wu saw that there were ten phantoms lingering around the enemy, and the terrifying aftermath made all the generals under his command resist the enemy, so far, there are more than 520 souls under the shimmering shadow spear, and its strength is not what it used to be, how can it be matched by ordinary people?
Xu Quan ordered the Holy Shadow to fight the enemy side by side, and the military ministers under Zhao Wu were either killed or wounded, and there were only five people who protected him to escape, and the cultivation was as many as 100 enemies, and Xu Quan was outnumbered single-handedly, but he had the help of the Holy Shadow, and each Holy Shadow was equal to Xu Quan, and the situation was diametrically opposite.
Xu Quan cooperated with the holy shadow like a broken bamboo, and killed several generals one after another, Zhao Wu saw that he fled in a hurry, Xu Quan also chased after him with a gun and a horse, and his crotch mist-like treasure horse traveled thousands of miles a day, how could it be compared with ordinary horses? Before Zhao Wu escaped a few zhang, he was caught up by Xu Quan.
The Shadow Spear stabbed directly at its vital point, Zhao Wu couldn't dodge, and the blood flowed like a pour of blood in an instant, but the blood splashed was not from Zhao Wu's body, but from Xu Quan's body.
A ride suddenly, only to see the person who came nine feet long, tiger body ape arms, red eyes and silver hair, the name is Chiji, is a descendant of Chi You, holding an axe, the name of the axe is said to be sad, originally held by the military ministers under the command of Chi You in ancient times, and then fell into his hands, so far the soul of the dead under the axe has reached more than 1,000, Chi Ji saw that his lord Zhao Wu was chased and killed by Xu Quan, and the chaotic army killed the bloody road from it, and took the head of Xu Quan with an axe and a horse.
Xu Quan was caught off guard and had to quickly make the Holy Shadow resist the enemy, who expected that Chiji only swung an axe, like destroying all the Holy Shadows, Xu Quan turned over and fell off his horse, embarrassed, and because the Holy Shadow was wiped out in one breath, his vitality was greatly injured, and he vomited blood and convulsed.
General Zhao Wu's generals helped Chi Ji, and when he saw that Xu Quan was unconscious, although he had palpitations, he also looked back and smiled and said, "Xu Quan's rat generation! I have such a tiger general, and I will take your head the next day!"
Chen Jin followed, but saw Xu Quan faint from the horse, turned the horse's head back to save his master, so far, Chen Jin has six hundred and one souls under the evil dove short axe in his palm, and his ability is to make his main beast, only to see Chen Jin in danger, the hair on his body has grown rapidly visible to the naked eye, the fangs in his mouth are exposed, his eyes are red, and in just a breath, Chen Jin is already a beast body and human face.
The enemy saw a man who looked like a man and a beast and a beast suddenly appeared, his face was fierce and vicious, holding a short axe, and it was chilling in an instant, only to see that the beast body and man face into the chaotic army from it as if entering a no-man's land, accompanied by the fiery red, like a wild beast rushing left and right, those who resisted were all killed, although they were seriously injured, they were also brave and abnormal.
Chen Jin killed the enemy, looked back and helped Xu Quan on the horse, although Xu Quan was injured internally, his consciousness was still there, holding the bridle tightly, Chen Jin led the horse with an axe, and escorted Xu Quan back to the friendly formation.
Ji Yan saw that the enemy had collapsed, looked north and fled, knew the reason of the poor Kou Mo chasing, chased the Ming Jin to collect the troops, and welcomed all the heroes into the city in the future, and the soldiers under his command were all camped outside the city.
Xu Quan only heard crying, shouting and scolding one after another in a half-dream, and felt a sharp pain in his whole body like a cone piercing bones, Shen Yue saw that he wanted to die in the wounded barracks, and quickly ordered the army to take water, and wrote a talisman by himself, soaked the talisman in the water, and then lifted Xu Quan up, let him drink the talisman water, and sure enough, within half a salary, Xu Quan's flesh injury had healed.
Besides, Chen Jin, worthy of being a loyal and courageous man, went deep into the enemy formation to rescue his master, although he was seriously injured, it was not a big problem, this matter was known to everyone in less than three days, and the heroes were stunned when they heard it, and Yijiang sighed and said, "I thought it was ...... Xu Quan was originally a thief, but now his ambition is tantamount to the thunder of the clay kettle, he will be murderous, domineering, but he didn't expect that there were such loyal people under his command. ”
A strategist's name is Bai Da, and he smiled when he heard it, "If Xu Quan is thirsty for killing, he is tantamount to a bandit in the mountains, and if he is flying and domineering, he is no different from an ordinary man. ”
Although Bai Da is not resourceful, but he has the ability to discern talents, in the past, he was confident, and prophesied that "Cang Rang, the city lord of Cangyun City, is a general generation, with no ambition and no strategy, and occupies the place where the soldiers must fight, and he will die in Huangquan in March." ”
At that time, Cangyun City was solid as gold, the soldiers were full of food, how could Cang Rang Tiger die on one side? Therefore, when everyone heard Bai Da's words, they all sneered at it, sneering, but unexpectedly, three months later, Cang Rang actually died at the hands of Xu Quan, from now on, Yijiang will include Bai Da in the think tank, high-ranking officials are generous, not to let him give advice, only to make him discern.
