Chapter Ninety-Nine: Wancheng Asks for Help!
Two days later, in the early morning, Ye Qing came to the barracks after breakfast and inspected the situation here with Lu Kang.
In the past two days, Xu Sheng and He Qi can be said to have completely adapted, and they are each leading a team of people and are training under the guidance of Zhou Cang. These 100,000 old pawns were originally a little casual, but after the last incident, they completely changed their appearance.
"Now this is the momentum that an old pawn should have!" Ye Qing looked satisfied.
Next to him, Lu Kang also agreed, and said: "In the past, Kang didn't have the energy to manage, but now that the lord is here, there are a few fierce generals leading him, so naturally there is no problem." ”
The two looked at the neat team in front of them, training in teams, different from each other. However, Xu Sheng and He Qi are a generation of generals, and they naturally have their own set of training methods for leading troops, so they are competing with each other.
"Anhui City is in an emergency, Anhui City is in an emergency"
At this moment, a hoarse roar suddenly came from outside the barracks, attracting the attention of Ye Qing and Lu Kang. The two turned to look, and suddenly saw a horse rushing into the camp quickly, and the soldiers guarding did not stop him, because he was covered in blood.
Hiss!
As soon as the man entered the camp, the horse screamed and fell to the ground, and the soldier was thrown off. Ye Qing's eyes were quick, and he dodged and picked up the soldier, and put the soldier on the ground safely.
The man was covered in blood, with an arrow feather stuck in his chest, and his breath was very weak, apparently badly wounded. And Ye Qing did not hesitate, fed a pill, and then, with a click, broke this arrow feather and pulled it out.
Belch!
The soldier who had fainted suddenly came to his senses, and his pale face was a little anxious. He hurriedly shouted: "Anhui City is in an emergency, Sun Ce led the army to raid Anhui City, and begged Taishou to send troops to rescue"
After the man finished speaking, he fainted, but the wound had healed and was not life-threatening. After Ye Qing ordered the soldiers next to him to take him down to rest, his brows were deeply locked, and he was holding a bloody bamboo slip in his hand.
"Lord, Anhui is in a hurry" Lu Kang looked at the content of the bamboo slip, and his face suddenly changed.
He said: "This is the handwriting of the Wancheng County Order, I have a deep relationship with the Wancheng County Order Qiao Gong, and at this moment I should have been raided by Sun Ce, so I had to ask for help." ”
Ye Qing nodded slightly and said, "I know that the matter is urgent, but, how many people did Sun Ce bring, is Zhou Yu also there, or is this their conspiracy, the purpose is to lure you and me to send troops and finally want to attack Lujiang City?" ”
"It's possible!"
Lu Kang did not panic, but was very calm, and said: "Lord, although Zhou Yu is young, his ability is not low, and there must be a conspiracy in it, but Wancheng must not be lost, otherwise the door of Lujiang will be opened." ”
Ye Qing naturally understood this situation, so he knew that this rescue was a must, otherwise there would be a big hole in the defense of the entire Lujiang County. Previously, he also wanted to send Xu Sheng to Wancheng to station, but unfortunately, now Sun Ce was one step faster, and he actually raided Wancheng like this, which was really a bit fast.
"In this way, I will lead three thousand cavalry to support first, and then make a decision depending on the situation!" Ye Qing made a decision directly.
Lu Kang didn't object, after all, saving soldiers is like fighting fires, and cavalry is naturally the most suitable. Moreover, he knew that the 100,000-strong army could not move, and he had to guard against possible conspiracies, and the entire Lujiang River could not be lost.
"He Qi, Xu Sheng!"
Ye Qing drank, looked at the two people with solemn expressions, and ordered: "You two stay, and the 100,000 army also stays in Lujiang, be sure to ensure the safety here!" ”
"The city is here!"
He Qi and Xu Sheng looked solemn and replied very simply, this is to hand over the entire Lujiang defense to them. Such a trust is not something that ordinary people can do, but Ye Qing trusts it so much, it is fake not to be moved.
Lu Kang didn't say much, he just needed to deal with his own affairs and pacify the entire city. There is also the confinement of the city gates, ready for a big battle at any time, the only thing to do is to pacify the people in the city, which only he can do.
Ye Qing didn't say much, and led Zhou Cang and other three thousand cavalry to set off, surging out of the city, quickly rolling up smoke and dust and disappearing here. Then, the massive gates of the city quickly closed, and then the soldiers patrolled the city walls.
This situation attracted the attention of a group of people hiding nearby, who were hiding in the distant woods. Ye Qing's guess and worry in his heart was right, at this moment, there was an army lurking here, peeking at Lujiang City.
"It's a pity"
In the woods, a handsome and dashing young man was looking in the direction of the city and regretted. He also didn't expect that Lujiang didn't send other soldiers to the rescue, and only a force of 3,000 cavalry existed, which was a little surprising.
"Governor, where did the cavalry come from in Lujiang?" One of the generals asked, a little strange.
The handsome young man, frowning, said: "Obviously, there is something strange in it, and I don't know what happened to Lu Kang, seeing that cavalry must be elite, it can't be formed recently." ”
These people were guessing where the cavalry came from, but they couldn't remember where it came from. Then, the handsome young man took one last look at the city and felt a little sorry.
Next to him, the general asked, "Governor, are we still attacking the city?" ”
The young man shook his head and said indifferently: "This city can't be taken down in the short term, besides, we only have 10,000 elites, and there are 100,000 troops in the city, not counting those recruits who have been recruited recently." ”
"Withdraw!"
This young man was very simple, and when he saw that there was no chance, he withdrew directly. Then, the 10,000-strong army left silently, fortunately Ye Qing did not lead other troops out, otherwise he didn't know if he was really attacked.
At this moment, Ye Qingzheng led three thousand cavalry on a rapid march and rushed towards the direction of Anhui City. He was a little anxious in his heart, thinking about whether Anhui City had been captured, and if so, how he should deal with it.
Originally, Ye Qing rarely thought about this, but at the moment, if there was no strategist around, he had to think about it himself. He felt that it was necessary for him to learn and grow, otherwise he would always rely on others, and one day there would be no one around him.
So, if you don't learn now, when will you wait?
Bang!
The city of Anhui, now filled with gunsmoke, has become a battlefield, a bloody slaughterhouse.
Outside the city, the army was continuous, and the black pressure could not be seen, as if a black cloud was pressing down on the city. This is Sun Ce's army, which is preparing to attack the city at the moment, and all kinds of equipment are ready, just one order is missing.
In fact, the siege of the city had already begun last night, but Zhou Yu wanted to use this to lure out the army of Lujiang to see if there was a chance to break through the county town of Lujiang in one fell swoop. But unfortunately, their strategy could not succeed, and the 10,000 army that came to Fang Cai was the army led by Zhou Yu.
"Lord, give the order to attack!"
In the main formation, a veteran looked anxious, obviously a little impatient. On the side, the other generals all looked eager to try, and they all wanted to attack quickly.
Sun Ce looked at the new and old generals in front of him, these veterans were all loyal ministers left behind after his father's death, and he felt a little emotional at the moment, fortunately with these family backgrounds, otherwise it would be difficult for him to rise.
"I don't know what happened to Gong Jin at the moment, did he succeed?" Sun Ce muttered, obviously thinking about whether it would be successful or not.
"Siege!"
The horns and drums shook the sky, which finally made the entire Anhui City nervous again. Last night, Wancheng was suddenly attacked, but fortunately, it has been heavily defended recently, so it was not taken down in one fell swoop.
And now, with the horn together, the war is finally about to start again. At this time, on the city wall, there is a veteran who is sitting in the town, his hair is flying, and there is a killing atmosphere in the air.
This is the order of Wancheng County, and he is the first soldier at this moment, and he has been fighting since last night until now. He frowned, looking at the dense army under the city wall, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, this time he was going to be in trouble.
Alas!
The county commander sighed slightly and muttered: "Hopefully, the old brother in Lujiang Lu will come to the rescue, but it may also be a trap, and I don't know if my call for help will be worse?" ”
This old man is actually the head of the Qiao family in Wancheng, the Qiao family is a big family in Wancheng, and his influence is also very large, and at this moment, Qiao Gong, who is the county commander, naturally doesn't want Wancheng to be captured.
Sun Ce, the little overlord, has wolf ambitions, and if he captures it, maybe the family will be finished. At present, only by fighting to the death can there be a glimmer of life, this is the old man's thoughts.
Bang!
There was a shock, the army in front moved, countless engineering equipment approached the city wall, and the tragic siege battle began. Qiao Lao drew his sword and shouted: "Sun Ce is ambitious and ruthless, if he is attacked, all the villagers and elders will definitely be robbed, and your lives, property and women will be deprived." ”
"Roll the oil, prepare, kill me hard!"
"Kill!"
His words worked, and immediately aroused the anger of countless soldiers, and they all fought desperately. They don't want their relatives to be deprived of their property, or even their own women to be robbed, this is a hatred, ignited by this county order.
"How can it be!"
At this moment, Sun Ce's one was angry and shouted: "Give me the siege, kill those who don't surrender!" ”
Thundered!
The war machine was in motion, a huge meat grinder was formed, and the entire city wall was plunged into a bloody slaughter. Although the county commander was old, he still took the lead and killed blood, which was admired by countless soldiers.
"Father, daughter is here to help you!"
Suddenly, a coquettish cry came, and the frightened old county commander shuddered for a while, and his face changed greatly. He suddenly turned around, and saw two fiery red figures rushing towards him, one with a flaming finch armor and a flying phoenix spear in his hand, quickly coming to the city wall.
"Nonsense!"
The old county commander shouted angrily, wanting to scold the two of them to go down, but unfortunately, instead of obeying, these two graceful fiery red figures entered the city wall, and the guns died, and the blood was red, reflecting the fiery red finch armor, which was so eye-catching and moving.
"Who is that?"
At this moment, Sun Ce's eyes widened in the array, and he finally saw clearly that there were two fiery red shadows on the city wall. Moreover, these two figures were very skilled, killing a lot of soldiers, and killing all the soldiers who rushed forward.
