Chapter 124: Breakout

Rao is horse under the seat is very fast, back and forth, half of the night has already passed.

Through the sky-high firelight, Xi Yan saw that Feng Yi had set up dozens of ladders outside the city, and catapults were constantly throwing large pieces of burning heavy objects into the city. Many of the Great Zhao soldiers were shot down by the arrows of the defenders on the city wall as they climbed the ladder, and the pungent smell of blood and burning materials stretched for miles.

"Isn't this a siege!?" Xi Yanzi immediately saw this bloody and murderous scene, casually grabbed a soldier and asked, "Didn't Huan Guohou's military order ask you to besiege but not attack?" Why is it now besieging the city? ”

"Little ones don't know."

Xi Yan also knew that ordinary soldiers would not know the reason, so he rode his horse straight to the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, and asked General Shooting Shengwei, who was responsible for coordinating Feng Yi's war: "General Zhao, why are the two divisions of Shooting Shengwei and Xiong Quwei attacking the city?" According to the pre-war plan, the two guard sergeants should besiege but not attack! ”

Zhao Ying, the general of the Shooting Guard, had already seen the messenger sent back by Xi Yan, and at this moment, he was not surprised to see him lead the army to retreat, but he just took out a token and said: "General Xi, as early as after you led the army to pull out, the general order of the Hou Ye came from Jincheng!" Hou Ye ordered me to wait and take Feng Yicheng in the shortest possible time! ”

"Capture Feng Yi?" Xi Yan almost suspected that he had misheard, "How strong Feng Yicheng is, Huan Guohou and General Zhao should know that with only more than 100,000 horses in the two guards, how can Feng Yicheng be taken?" ”

"Master Hou said that if he can take it, he can take it!" Zhao Ying first roared angrily, and then said, "Don't panic, do you know that this token was brought by General Jin Wuwei, and the Hou Ye knew that it was difficult to attack the city, so he sent Jin Wuwei to support!" ”

"In this way, isn't the Golden City completely empty?"

Faced with Xi Yan's questioning, Zhao Ying just replied: "Master Hou, he must have his own arrangements!" ”

Xi Yan was a little angry, I don't know when, my brother has such a high prestige in the army, for the decision he made, all the soldiers did not hesitate to implement it, as long as it was Huan Guohou said, the army all regarded it as a golden rule, and in the army in the northwest has faintly formed a situation of "only knowing the Marquis of Xi, not knowing the emperor".

"Then in the face of the main force of the Northern Qin army, how is General Zhao going to deal with the enemy?"

"Don't worry!" Unexpectedly, Zhao Ying was extremely arrogant, "There are still mountains and beams to the west of Feng Yicheng, and it is not so easy for the Northern Qin people to come." Moreover, the two guards of Xiao and Leopard had already driven to the north to contain them, and the general did not believe that the people of Northern Qin could get by! ”

"The main force of Northern Qin is what the scouts have seen with their own eyes! If the general does not retreat at this time, the loss will be ...... Who will bear it!? ”

Zhao Ying's tone was still very stubborn: "Once the military order of the Hou Ye is issued, there is no reason to change it." Moreover, if the troops are collected at this time, the city will inevitably counterattack, General Xi ...... You're still younger, and we old men who have been fighting for many years know better than you know how to fight. ”

"General Zhao, do you have to be so stubborn? Or in your eyes, the lives of the soldiers are not fatal? Xi Yan stared at Zhao Ying with burning eyes, "The general is outside, the king's order is not subject to it, and the same is true for Huan Guohou's military order at this moment, as a general of the unified army, is it so careless to give birth to your fate?" ”

"You're too lenient," Zhao Ying glanced at Xi Yan with extreme contempt, "Huan Guohou said, 'As long as there is a war, which side will not shed thousands of miles of blood?'" Don't say that you will be sent to death, as long as you can achieve your final intention, even if the whole army is wiped out, you have to give me a happy meal! 'You are also Hou Ye's own brother, why don't you have Hou Ye's courage? ”

In the face of Zhao Ying's arrogance, Xi Yan did not persuade him again after all, he knew that Zhao Ying was extremely stubborn, and the things he believed in could never be changed by others, although there was anger in his heart, Xi Yan still turned around and walked out of the tent and returned to the hussars he led.

"General Zuo!" Xi Yan summoned General Zuo, who had been in the army, and ordered, "The main force of Northern Qin that has just been detected is a large group of men, and the mountain beam in the west has delayed their marching speed, so immediately reorganize the army and be ready to meet the enemy at any time!" ”

"The last general obeys!"

The siege continued, and the firelight reflected half of the walls.

Tonight is much more tragic than when attacking Jincheng, some logs fell from time to time on the head of the city, smashing down the siege soldiers of Da Zhao, a soldier before falling, desperately hugged the Northern Qin defenders on the head of the city, and the two were smashed to the ground by the log rolling stones together, their own flesh and blood mixed together, regardless of each other.

At this moment, the sound of the siege suddenly became quieter, and an agitated voice of the rear army floated from afar: "All the troops listen to the order!" Stop the siege. The general gave the order, and the rear army retreated first. ”

For some reason, Zhao Ying finally ordered the withdrawal of the troops.

Xi Yan was relieved to hear that Zhao Ying was finally willing to withdraw his troops.

At this time, a group of scouts covered in blood came to report, "General." Our army has been surrounded by the enemy's main force, and the Xiao cavalry guard and the leopard cavalry guard have not had time to transfer back from the north, and Feng Yi has been trapped to death! ”

Hearing the battle report, Zhao Ying's face suddenly turned like frost and snow, but after all, as the commander of the first army, his tone was still calm: "Order the whole army to break through to Jincheng." ”

Xi Yan looked at the still dark sky, took the lead in getting on his horse, and raised his voice to the 50,000 cavalry behind him: "All the troops obey the order!" The enemy has been attacking our Dazhao for many days, and now wants to annihilate our army in one fell swoop. The army charged with me with their spears, and stood out from the encirclement! ”

Xi Yan knew that it was not yet dawn at this time, and it was the best time to break through. As soon as the morning dawns, the army under his command will become the enemy's primary target, and at that time, it will be difficult to fly even if he has wings.

At this time, the 50,000 horses led by Xi Yan had become the vanguard of the breakthrough, and behind them was an army of more than 100,000. Almost all the hopes were pinned on the cavalry led by Xi Yan.

Xi Yan knew that he was carrying the sustenance of tens of thousands of people, as well as the safety of Da Zhao Jiangshan, and the fluttering figure that suddenly appeared in his heart, so that he.

With a cold spear, Sa Luzi charged towards the weak point of the enemy's defense. Seeing that the commander took the lead, the soldiers also put their lives behind and rushed towards the enemy with a thunderous momentum.

In hand-to-hand combat, Xi Yan stabbed an enemy soldier with a spear in hand. The tip of the spear pierced into his body, and Xi Yan felt that the soldier's ribs could be easily broken like dead branches. Then, the silver spear swept and dismounted the enemy who was about to attack him. Before the fallen soldier could utter a wail, he was immediately trampled into a pool of flesh by the hooves of his horse.

In the distance, dense arrows broke through the air, and Xi Yan continued to advance while pulling out his saber to block. In the past, the sword was danced for the sake of style, but now the sword is swung again, but it is for the sake of fighting.

The white tassels on the gun have long been stained red by blood, and every time Xi Yan shoots, one of the enemy soldiers will turn into a ghost under the gun.

At this time, the still alive Da Zhao cavalry finally killed the cavalry of the enemy's forward, and in the eyes of the soldiers of the alliance of the Western Regions, the Da Zhao cavalry was like a bloody hell god and demon.

Without the protection of the cavalry, the infantry and archers who could not form a formation could only be reduced to lambs and wantonly slaughtered by the Great Zhao Iron Cavalry.

The encirclement was finally torn open a gap, and the Great Zhao army, which was waiting for the day, quickly broke through the encirclement to the gap, and escaped and left.
