Under the city of Weizhou County, Yan Guogong led the army to attack the city for two consecutive days. However, the people of the Northern Desert in the city could not hold out, and the high walls of Weizhou County were thick, so they allowed Yan Guogong to continue to attack in the past two days, although they climbed the city wall several times, but in the end they still fell short, and finally they could not open the city gate.
For two days, the attack continued. Not only were the soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty sleepy and lacking horses, but because of the forcible siege of the city, the soldiers suffered extremely serious losses. In just two days, more than 7,000 soldiers were wounded, and nearly 4,000 were completely unable to participate in the battle.
Looking at this early morning, Yan Guogong once again forced the soldiers to ride the long ladder to prepare to kick the city, and a veteran general said beside him: "Guogong, it can't go on like this, the soldiers are too tired, and because they have been attacking, the battle damage is too great." If we continue like this, I'm afraid that we will end up with no food! โ
"What nonsense! If we don't take the county seat as soon as possible, we will have no place to stay, so should we let the Northern Desert rangers harass us wantonly in the wilderness? Also, it is said that the grain and grass should have arrived in the camp for a long time, why has it not been seen today, but someone has been sent back to the imperial capital to urge? "How could Yan Guogong not know that if he continued like this, he would fall into passivity. But the matter has come to this point, in addition to taking Weizhou County as soon as possible and using it as a place to stay, if you retreat at this time, I am afraid that the Northern Desert people in the city will rush out. At that time, I'm afraid that my side won't even have the power to fight back!
In addition, the supply of food and grass to replenish the army has not been delivered for so long, and the soldiers can only have one meal in the morning and evening every day to satisfy their hunger. The gruel and rice grains of each meal can be counted, and there is also the loss of weapons, if it goes on like this, don't wait for the Northern Desert to attack, it won't take a few days to break up by yourself!
"I've sent someone back to the imperial capital to urge, but there is no news yet!" When the general returned, he withdrew without a word.
The Western Qin army led by Yan Guogong once again forcibly erected ladders and pushed siege vehicles and other objects. Despite the fatigue and injuries that could not be attacked for several days, he once again forcibly attacked the county seat of Weizhou.
On the city wall more than ten zhang high, it was drenched everywhere by fire oil, and after a fire, no one could get close to it. The ladder that had just been erected was burned black in an instant. There is also a thunder stone rolling wood, the Northern Desert is well prepared this time, and the Northern Desert people, who should be good at riding battles, actually defended the city so tightly.
Thick smoke billowed up, and there was a shout of killing inside and outside Weizhou County. The commanders of the two armies stood in the rear, constantly issuing various orders, changing their ways and means at any time, one desperately attacking the city, and the other trying their best to defend.
The soldiers were also getting carried away and slashing the enemy, and no one had time to think about it at this moment. I only know that either you die or I die, and no one dares to have half of the unbearable heart, but whenever you encounter an enemy, you will die to the death.
"Click-Boom-Click-Rumble!!"
In the already chaotic battlefield, the soldiers of the Western Qin and Northern Deserts had already killed the red eyes. The sky-high blood and the killing intent of the sun swept the Weizhou County up and down, inside and out, and was soaked in blood.
A flash of thunder rolled, showing this cruel and merciless place, at this moment, this cruel act that was even more ferocious than the beast. After the thunder, the rain poured down, and the already extremely bloody offensive and defensive battle looked even more desolate under the pouring rain.
"It's raining, okay, God help me! At this time, the people of the Northern Desert in the county of Weizhou County could not take advantage of the fire to hinder our army from kicking the city, and they would increase the siege of the city for their own country, so they must take advantage of the time to attack it in one fell swoop! Yan Guogong saw it
The rain kept falling, and it was getting more and more intense and intense. I was very excited, several military orders were passed down, and the Western Qin soldiers in front of me worked harder.
"Click-boom-" There was a constant thunderclap, and the heavens and the earth trembled.
At this moment of thunder, between the back room of the Western Qin army. There was a remnant army rushing all the way, the remnant army was no more than three or five hundred people, all of them in tattered armor, and their faces were sad and panicked.
When Yan Guogong, who was leading the army to attack the city, saw the general who came with the army, he felt a sense of ominousness all over his body for a moment. "Zhou Yao! Why are you here? Shocked by the people in front of him, Yan Guogong thought of something in an instant. But in order to confirm what he was thinking and worrying about, Yan Guogong still suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, pointed at Zhou Yao and asked.
"The last general is incompetent, Guogong quickly retreat from the army, we have all been tricked, and there are no more than 10,000 Northern Desert rangers chasing after us in the rear. From the direction of Chizhou, there is also a Northern Desert scattered cavalry team to surround our army, from the very beginning, we have fallen into the trap of the Northern Desert! Zhou Yao was full of battle wounds, and he insisted on rushing here just to inform Yan Guogong.
If you forcibly retreat at this moment, I am afraid that the defenders in the city will take advantage of the situation to kill, and the two Northern Desert armies in the rear will surround you......
This sudden change made all the Western Qin generals present stupid on the spot. I was tricked, and from the very beginning, I was led by the nose by the people of the Northern Desert, and the victory was like a bamboo, but it was all the ear food scattered by the Northern Desert, leading everyone to such a situation step by step!
Although Yan Guogong also hesitated, he was ignored by several big victories in a row. Now Yan Guogong will tens of thousands of people because of his carelessness, as for the place where he will die, Yan Guogong is anxious and angry, regretful and sad.
"Poof-ahem-ahem-"
"Yan Guogong! Guogong ...... The country is worry-free, we still have a chance, and there must be a way to retreat safely! Seeing that Yan Guogong spurted out a mouthful of blood, the generals were even more panicked, and in order to stabilize the army's morale, they could only deceive themselves and comfort Yan Guogong first. Otherwise, once Yan Guogong collapsed on the spot, he was afraid that these tens of thousands of Western Qin soldiers and their old guys would be even more of a lifeless situation!
A group of people hurriedly helped Yan Guogong to relieve his breath, and then saw Yan Guogong struggling to stand up. Shaking to the side of the military case, and then looked around, Yan Guo said fairly: "Zhou Yao, Lu Sizhong, Jiang Ze, the three of you led 20,000 people, immediately withdrew from the siege battle, and retreated all the way to Pingzhou."
Du Qing, you and your father-in-law are here to drag the Northern Desert people in the city, and you also divide your troops to block the Northern Desert rangers who are coming from the direction of Baiguan. You and I are destined to not be able to leave alive, and I am afraid that even the body cannot be shrouded in horse leather. Du Qing, you, are you afraid that you are willing to die even though your country's public is going to die? โ
"The last general is not afraid, and he is willing to fight for a ray of life for the brothers with the Duke of the Kingdom!" Du Qing's eyes were full of tears, but he didn't have the slightest intention of cursing and resenting Lutan in his heart, but he felt ashamed of the Western Qin Emperor and the ancestors of the four generations of his ancestors.
When the matter was in a hurry, it was enough to allow other people to stir and pull, watching Zhou Yao and others voluntarily stay to resist the enemy. Feeling that there was nothing to delay, Yan Guo was indignant and angrily reprimanded a few people, only then did he stop these veterans from rushing to their deaths.
"Listen, bring those 20,000 people back to Pingzhou as much as you can. I, Luthane, have experienced hundreds of battles in my life, and although I have been defeated, I have never been in such a desperate situation. Today is my fault, and the sin is not with you. However, I have made irreparable mistakes, but I want to do my best to protect these soldiers for Western Qin, so as to seek successors.
Don't delay any longer, count the uninjured or lightly injured as soon as possible, and leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the tripartite encirclement is formed, there will be no life. When I tell Your Majesty, Yan Guogong Lutan, I am ashamed of my grace and my colleagues. I'm even more sorry, this loyal and brave soul who died unjustly under the county town of Weizhou!
Let's go, let's go!! โ
After Yan Guo's official words, his eyes overflowed with blood and tears. I want him to defend the land and defend the country all his life, and he has experienced more than 100 battles and killed nearly 10,000 enemies. But because he didn't accept the old and was unwilling, he asked for orders to fight and pacify Weizhou, but who would have thought that there would be such a desperate situation today.
Zai Yan Guogong drew his long sword and forced the three veterans to rush to Pingzhou with nearly 20,000 remnants of Western Qin. He took more than 8,000 people and divided them into two groups with Du Qingbing. Du Qing still attacked the city with 5,000, but only made a feint, and retreated when approaching the city wall. No matter how long you wait to bluff the city, even if it is, try your best to buy time for the 20,000 Western Qin soldiers.
And Yan Guogong himself was carrying less than 3,000 light horses. Going straight to the direction of Baiguan, preparing to intercept and kill the Northern Desert Army that was rushing to the county town halfway, it can be hindered for a while, and it can be regarded as a little bit of strength for those retreating soldiers!
Lu Yan led less than 3,000 men to Jujube Bend. Seeing that the jungle on both sides was luxuriant, and there happened to be a low cliff falling beside the road, I had a plan for a while, if I could ambush here. Although it is still difficult to escape defeat in the end, at least in the end, the enemy of Baiguan can be severely damaged, which can be regarded as a small return to the Holy Grace and a little relief from the guilt!
โฆโฆ
The county seat of Weizhou, seven days after the defeat of the city. A horse galloped straight into the Western Qin Imperial Capital, and when he arrived at the gate of the palace, the messengers on the horse couldn't take a breath, so they got off the horse and galloped all the way to the outside of the Antian Palace.
"Newspaper-newspaper! Weizhou Urgent Military Newspaper! โ
The messenger held the battle report with both hands and knelt in front of the jade steps of the Antian Palace. After handing the battle report in his hand to the attendant who came down, he was too tired because of the gallop all the way. As soon as his eyes flickered, he fell backwards!
"Send this sergeant to the ashram and let him recuperate!" While reading the military newspaper, the Western Qin Emperor instructed the guards on duty outside the palace.
But before the fainted herald soldier was carried out of the Antian Palace, he saw the Western Qin Emperor Ling Qian jumping up from the dragon chair under the mixture of shock and anger.
"This ......"
For a while, Ling Qian's face seemed to be dyed with a layer of frost, and his eyes were sometimes angry and angry, and sometimes sad and painful.
The ministers in the hall looked at the Western Qin Emperor in front of the dragon chair, and they all guessed. The sound of discussion unconsciously swirled around the Antian Palace, which also made the ministers who originally thought it was a good news to have a wisp of unease in their hearts.
Especially Ling Xuanyi, after carefully observing Ling Qian's complexion, he was looking at the military report that fell on the dragon case. For a while, I had a rough answer in my heart, and I couldn't help but feel deeply sorry, and I was even more worried about the situation of the people in Weizhou.
"Your Majesty doesn't know, I don't know the military report sent back by Yan Guogong, but the military situation has changed?" Zuo Xiang plucked up his courage and looked at Ling Qian's miserable face and asked. But in fact, Zuo Xiang already had some guesses in his heart, but as Zuo Xiang, he had to ask at this time.
Emperor Ling Qian of Western Qin heard Zuo Xiang's inquiry, but he was still in shock, and he didn't know how to reply. It was even more difficult to accept such a result for a while, Yan Guogong, that was also a meritorious old man, but he ended up like this, how could he not make Ling Qian's heart sad.
The ministers looked at Ling Qian speechless for a while, and naturally they didn't know how to deal with it.
In the end, it was Ling Xuanyi, who had the courage to calm his face. Walking up the jade steps step by step, after Gao Jinlong's case, he picked up the letter that fell on the case and looked at it.
"The Duke of Yan was defeated, and after designing to severely damage the Northern Desert Army at Zaoziwan, fifteen miles below the city of Weizhou County, he finally fought to the death alone and died with all his strength!"
