Chapter 197 Fierce Battle
Yang Tong looked at the pioneer banner in the distance under the city, and frowned slightly.
He was very aware of the deep contradiction between his father Yang Yong and Captain Xia Zhuo, so he didn't believe Xia Zhuo in his heart, and he didn't believe that Xia Zhuo would kindly send someone to save him.
The arrival of Xia Qian's three people has been beyond his expectations, and now reinforcements have arrived!
Next to Yang Tong, Xia Qian stared at it carefully, and suddenly said: "It's Xia Yi!"
As a five-rank martial arts powerhouse, Xia Qian's eyesight is much sharper than that of the Eagle Falcon. Just one glance, you can see clearly. Xia Sheng and Xia Yun are the same.
The three of them looked at each other, and Xia Sheng couldn't help but say, "Why is Xia Yi here?"
Although there was a reconciliation between the three of them and Xia Yi, the impression formed by the preconceived impression at first glance has not dissipated until now.
Xia Sheng has no opinions on Xia Yi, although he still has opinions, but at least he will never say anything good when they meet.
He didn't expect Xia Yi to arrive as reinforcements a few hours after them.
"Isn't it good to have reinforcements?" Xia Yun asked rhetorically.
Xia Qian opened his mouth and said: "Our current situation, it is naturally excellent to have reinforcements, but I don't know how many men and horses Xia Yi has brought over,"
"Do the three generals know who came to help?" Yang Tong spoke.
"Yufujun, the last three will know each other." Xia Qian saluted slightly, and said: "The person under the vanguard banner is the military candidate under the command of Sima Li Xun on the right under the captain's account, Xia Yi.
"Oh" Yang Tong nodded, but said: "So, in the opinion of the three generals, is there a chance to join forces with the reinforcements inside and outside the city to defeat the barbarians outside the city?"
"This"
Xia Qian and the three couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this.
The city of Danger was in danger, and the county guard did not want to break through the siege and escape, but wanted to break the enemy army with the inside and outside, this kind of thinking made the three of them a little dumbfounded for a while.
Xia Qian pondered for a moment before he said, "It's not impossible to defeat the barbarians. It's just that I don't know how many soldiers and horses Xia Yi brought over,"
"If Xia Yi has 3,000 soldiers and horses, we will be sure to cooperate with him inside and outside, attack from both sides, and break this barbarian army. However, if the troops are insufficient, the proposal of the prince may not be feasible. Xia Sheng said bluntly.
Xia Qian glanced at Xia Sheng and didn't speak.
He didn't agree with what Xia Sheng said.
The enemy army has a team of 10,000 people, and there are at least three people who are strong in the sixth grade. If Xia Zhuo's subordinate Li urged Guo Yan to lead his troops to come, this would be true. But only Xia Yi's words. Xia Qian shook his head secretly.
For ordinary soldiers, the lethality of a high-level martial arts powerhouse is too great. Not to mention whether Xia Yi brought 3,000 soldiers and horses, he led 10,000 soldiers, if there was no equal level of martial arts powerhouse in charge, he would not be able to defeat this barbarian army of 10,000 soldiers under the city!
Speaking of which, there is no solution to defeat the barbarians under the city, so Xia Qian did not open his mouth to remind him.
But where did he think of Yang Tong's next sentence, which made Xia Qian and the three of them embarrassed.
"Could it be that Xia Yi is the top master of the Seven Grades of Martial Arts?" Yang Tong said: "In the barbarian army of 10,000 people, 10,000 cavalry commanders and 5,000 captains are about six strong people, unless there are seven strong people in the reinforcements, they can defeat one enemy and three people, otherwise it is difficult to defeat the barbarian soldiers.
"Uh," Xia Sheng smashed his mouth, his face turned slightly red, and he hurriedly turned his face away.
Xia Qian frowned - since you Yang Tong knows it, is that the previous sentence a joke? Deliberately want to make Xia Qian and the three of them make a fool of themselves?
Kind-hearted to come to the rescue, that's how it is treated?
For a while, Xia Qian and the three of them were very unhappy.
Xia Yun bowed slightly: "Fujun, the three of us are going to arrange military affairs, so I won't bother here, farewell!"
With that, the three of them turned around and left.
"Xia Manzi's command is full of such arrogant and rude people!" Seeing the three of them walking away, Yang Tong flicked his sleeves and sneered.
The county lieutenant on the side secretly slandered - if it weren't for your Yang Fujun being rude first, how could this be? I am secretly worried that the current fate is pinned on the three Xia Qian and the reinforcements outside the city, and if I offend them at this time, is it because I am full of food?
He couldn't understand that even if there was a big contradiction between Yang Yong and Xia Zhuo, the captain of the army, Yang Tong would not be able to stop his life at this time, right?
For a while, there was a lot of resentment towards this stubborn prince.
Yang Tong doesn't want to live anymore, he still wants to live as the county governor!
Xia Qian and the three of them walked into the distance, and Xia Sheng said: "This Yang Tong is even more annoying than Xia Yi!"
"Don't worry about it." Xia Qian said: "It's just anger." There is a gap between Yang Yong and Xia Xiaowei, and Yang Tong is a rigid character, so it is reasonable to look at me unpleasantly. We just have to do our own thing, how Yang Tong is, don't care about it. '
After a pause, he said: "Xia Yi's coming to help is a great thing for us. Originally, if there were no reinforcements, we could only see the opportunity and fill it with our lives, so that we could break out. It's so much easier now. You two pay more attention to the movement outside the city, and if there is any change, we will kill them immediately!
"Okay." Xia Sheng simply nodded.
Xia Yun said: "Our task is to pick up Yang Tong, but Yang Tong is too stubborn, I am afraid that he will not break through with us."
"Heh, I can't help him then." Xia Qian's eyes flashed: "I see that except for Yang Tong, I am afraid that there are few people in this city who are willing to live and die with the city. Yang Tong wants to be rigid and observant, but no one will respond to him. When the time comes, just knock out and take it out of the city.
"That's how it should be!" Xia Sheng smiled: "Leave this matter to me."
Xia Qian couldn't help grinning: "Don't kill people all at once!"
"Don't worry."
Under the city, the barbarian barracks are two miles away.
Xia Yi took two hundred men and horses under his command, and still carefully inspected the situation of the barbarian camp two miles away. Of course, there must be no less vigilance.
Two miles away, it's too close.
A martial artist above the first rank and above can inflict effective damage at this distance with a strong bow alone.
Therefore, Xia Yi and others also need to guard against the barbarian soldiers firing arrows.
Once you find out that something is wrong, you will immediately have to flee away.
Unexpectedly, two quarters later, the scouts scattered by the barbarians returned one after another, and there was no movement in the camp.
"Almost all the scouts sent out by the barbarians have returned." Xia Yi said: "All the soldiers cheer up and get ready!"
"Whoa!"
If the barbarian scouts see through the truth and the suspicious soldiers' plans are shattered, I am afraid that soldiers and horses will come out of the camp immediately. If there is still no movement, it means that the barbarian scouts have not seen the details of the plan, and when the time comes, Xia Yi will follow his previous plan.
For another half a moment, there was still no movement in the camp, and Xia Yi smiled.
Then he beckoned to Cheng Ying beside him.
Barbarian barracks, big tents of the Chinese army.
"So, there are traces of the Han army brigade twenty miles away?!"
"Exactly, General! The Han army came with smoke and dust, and it was estimated that there were at least 5,000 soldiers and horses!
"At least?"
Captain Wan pondered slightly: "At least five thousand, um."
Just as the commander of the ten thousand cavalry was thinking, a barbarian soldier under his command came to report: "Report, general, the forward general of the Han army is fighting outside the camp!"
"Oh?!"
Hearing this, the commander of the ten thousand cavalry couldn't help but be stunned: "Fighting?!"
Then he raised his eyebrows and shouted: "With only two hundred horsemen, I dare to fight outside my camp, and I don't take the general in my eyes!"
After a pause, he asked cautiously: "Can you see the appearance of that Han general, virtual and real?"
"Report to the general, look at the appearance, just a young man who has not yet been crowned! It's not Xia Zhuo or his generals!"
"Not crowned yet?" Wan Cavalry Commander smiled: "This Han cub doesn't take me seriously!" Generals, you say, what should I do?!
"Kill him!"
A barbarian general got up abruptly and rubbed the axe blade in his palm: "General, let the last general go, take his head, and present it to his subordinates!"
"Good! Anouk, if you kill the vanguard of the Han generals, I will take your first credit!'
"General Xie!
The brute Anouk laughed loudly and walked out of the tent.
But within a moment, a soldier came to report: "Report, general, it's not good, General Anouk can't fight in a three-way battle, and he was beheaded by the Han general!"
"Huh?!" Captain Wanqi's eyes widened: "Shame me! Anouk is such a waste? Left and right, who is willing to kill the Han general and be ashamed of Anouk!"
"The last will go!"
Another general, with his sword in hand, got up violently and walked out of the Chinese army's tent.
After another moment, the soldiers came to report: "General Zhiluo and General Han were not in battle and were beheaded!"
"What?!"
Commander Wan couldn't help but stand up: "Zhiluo Luo is a five-rank martial arts powerhouse, Wuhe was beheaded, could it be that Han will be a six-rank master?"
The generals in the tent all looked at each other.
"All the generals, come with me out of the camp to see! I want to see what kind of man this boy is!" Wan Cavalry Commander walked down the hall in a few steps, opened the tent door, and the generals behind him, Jing Cong, rode out of the camp and came to the open space outside the camp.
At this time, Xia Yi immediately stabbed horizontally, and there were two headless corpses under his feet, drenched in blood and bleak.
"Who is the Han general, dare to report his name!"
Ten thousand horsemen rode out of the battle, pointed at Xia Yi with a whip, and drank coldly.
"I am the commander of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty, and Xia Yi of Hedong is also!" Xia Yi shouted: "Who is Ernai!"
"Humph!" Wan Qi Chang snorted: "I am the brother of the Western Xianbei Lord's Rilu deduction!" Er District Commander, dare to kill my favorite general, today I will kill you, I hate the snow!"
When Xia Yi heard this, his brows couldn't help jumping, but he laughed and said, "If you want to kill me, you will die here!"
Then he rode slowly, raised his sword, and shouted loudly: "Hedong Xia Yi is here, do the barbarians dare to fight!" ?"
"Hedong Xia Yi is here, do the barbarians dare to fight!"
"Hedong Xia Yi is here, do the barbarians dare to stand?!"
Three loud shouts, but the audience was silent.
Rilu Baming watched all the generals under his command bow their heads, and couldn't help but turn pale.
At the moment, he was angry in his heart, stretched out his hand and led them one by one, and between the true qi, he sucked the spear on the shoulder of the guard next to him into his palm, looked up to the sky and groaned loudly, and rode out with a bang.
"Well done!
Xia Yi laughed, and before the words fell, the sun was already in front of him.
The war knife was raised, the edge was exposed, and I saw a bend of Qiu Hong flashing in an instant, and there was a bang, which shook the brains of the surrounding soldiers!
I saw that the two horses in the field suddenly staggered, a knife and a spear crossed, under the feet of the two horses, there was a radius of 20 zhang, the whole was shocked by the huge force to collapse down more than a foot, the dust spread out on all sides, mighty, immediately, the field was hazy.
Two black shadows with two sharp edges come and go, the sonorous sound is endless, in the splashing of firelight, the true qi is swinging out, setting off a circle of substantial ripples in the air, like a hurricane, flying sand and stones, sweeping in all directions!
The two of them fought for a moment in the field, and each of them was secretly vigilant.
For Xia Yi, this Rilu is really a good opponent. Its combat power is one point stronger than the barbarian general who folded in Xia Yi's hands last night!
Fortunately, Xia Yi broke through last night, and his combat effectiveness reached a new level. Otherwise, with the ability of last night, I am afraid that it will be difficult to ensure that it is undefeated.
This master is fighting, and the fight is only a line.
Rilu Baming is only one point stronger than last night's brute general, but if the two are hostile, excluding some uncontrollable factors, last night's brute general will definitely not be Rilu Baming's opponent.
And Rilu Baming is even more frightened.
This opponent seems to be young and tender, and his body martial arts are clearly only in the realm of five grades, but his combat skills are mellow and flawless, and he can't find any flaws at all. In the midst of the confrontation, the true qi coming from the sword was extremely pure and vigorous, and the strength was also surprising, and for a while, he almost thought that his opponent was a six-rank martial artist who had been immersed in martial arts for decades!
It's incredible!
"Rilu Baming, today I will kill you, with your head to show your military exploits!" Xia Yi roared again and again, shouting incessantly: "In the coming day, I will lead the troops back to the Western Regions, and then send your people to see you together, and cut off your Xianbei roots in the west!"
"The Han cub is rampant!" Between the shaking of the spear, the sun law drew the appearance of the wolf roaring the moon, and the murderous aura was surging like a tide: "Eat me a spear!"
The two fought, roaring endlessly, kicking up sand and dust, which can be described as earth-shattering!
It is the city of Danger, which is miles away. The upper defenders were also attracted to attention
A group of soldiers stood at the head of the city, looking at the battle from afar, and they were all dumbfounded.
Yang Tong's eyes lit up, but he muttered to himself: "I didn't expect that there are so many talents under the command of Xia Manzi who are so bold and so martial arts."
The lieutenant of the county heard it clearly, swallowed his saliva, and said: "Fu Jun, the general of the reinforcement vanguard is courageous, the martial arts are profound, and the ability of the enemy barbarian soldiers is ten thousand cavalry commanders. If he can kill the 10,000 cavalry commanders, the barbarians under the city will inevitably be in turmoil, and we just wave our troops out of the city, attack them on both sides, take advantage of the situation to destroy the barbarians under the city in one fell swoop, and solve the danger!
The county lieutenant said this, but in fact, he wanted to take the opportunity to break through and escape from here.
The Imperial Dynasty has ordered the abandonment of the Western Regions, and it does not matter whether the crisis is resolved or not. For today's plan, retreat is the most important thing. Anyway, it was an imperial order, and the retreat was legal and reasonable, so why should it be held in this lonely city?
Of course, he didn't dare to say these words in front of Yang Tong.
Having worked together for many years, he understands Yang Tong's rigid temperament. Yang Tong is the county guard and is his direct boss. He was born in the Hongnong Yang family, and his father was the protector of the Western Regions, and he was the governor of a county, so he didn't dare to offend Yang Tong.
I just want to go out of the city and break through first, and then I can escape by the way. After all, in his opinion, the reinforcements sent by Captain Shuji would never be able to fight hard with the barbarians under the general environment of the emperor's abandonment of the Western Regions. As long as Yang Tong goes out of the city, he will not be stubborn at that time!
"It makes sense,"
When Yang Tong heard this, he couldn't help but nod slowly: "Let's go and inform the three generals of Xia Qian, see the opportunity, if the barbarians will be beheaded, it will be time to wave the army out of the city and defeat the barbarians!"
"Whoa!"
The county lieutenant couldn't help but smile and hurriedly turned around and left.
After the county lieutenant left, Yang Tong said to a middle-aged scribe beside him: "Time is urgent, and immediately go to inform the Han people in the city and let them get ready." Once the barbarians are defeated and the crisis is solved, they quickly organize the evacuation of the danger! ”
"Yes, Fujun!"
The momentum of the fighting generals in the east of the city was huge, and the sound shook for ten miles, making the barbarians on the north and south faintly aware that their offensive gradually slowed down, and the two five thousand commanders had already planned to stop the siege.
On the south side of the city, Xia Sheng swung out a knife, and his true qi turned into a sharp blade, cutting a cloud ladder from it, and several barbarians who were struggling to climb up the cloud ladder were also cut into two pieces.
On the outside of the city wall, there is a slight flickering of light, every time it flickers, for the barbarians besieging the city, it is a life and death torment!
This is the biggest defensive feature of the Imperial Dynasty's city, the martial array!
Martial formation, as the name suggests, is a formation that extends from advanced martial arts means. The emperor built the city, every time the military division was dispatched, when the city wall was built, the formation pattern was engraved on it, and the formation pattern communicated with the heaven and earth, and the light of Haoyang was used as the energy source, which had all kinds of incredible effects!
The most common is the Gravity Array!
In the event of a war, the city guards or the county commanders and county guards will open the military formation. If the enemy wants to attack the city, the military array is activated, such as the gravity array, every other breath, it can trigger a change in gravity, this change is not fixed, or the previous excitation is three times the gravity, and the latter is five times.
As a result, the walls were almost a barrier to the besiegers
For example, under this southern city, there is a five-thousand-year-old six-rank martial arts master, but he doesn't dare to go first at will. In the case of no change in gravity, it is very likely that a sixth-rank martial arts master will fold in the hands of a fifth-rank or even a fourth-rank martial artist!
The gravity array on the city wall, its range of influence is within the range of ten zhang on the outside side of the city wall, and there is no interference with the defenders on the city, so the soldiers who are besieging the city are the elite, and in the case of being affected by the military array, in the face of the defenders, they can only take their lives to fill in, and attack the head of the city with the advantage of troops, and occupy the general trend in order to break the city.
This is also the reason why in the face of a team of 10,000 people and three six-rank martial arts masters, the city of Weisu has not yet been breached. Otherwise, if there is no military array, the barbarian soldiers will take the lead with the six-grade masters, and the city will only be broken.
Xia Sheng listened to the rumbling roar faintly coming from the east of the city, and his heart turned sharply, and he didn't forget to make all kinds of provocative actions to the five thousand barbarians under the city. If those five thousand elders dare to climb the city first, it is impossible to say that Xia Sheng will attack the strong with weakness, and kill this thief with the help of the momentum of the martial array!
Under the city, in the face of Xia Sheng's provocation, the five thousand elders almost vomited blood in anger, and the thunderous jump was not enough to describe his current anger.
But the movement from the east of the city made him even more restless in his heart.
He had already learned of the arrival of reinforcements from the Han army.
Although he has strong confidence in the law of ten thousand horsemen, the Han army is treacherous and has many masters, which is really difficult to get along.
Forcibly suppressing the restlessness in his heart, the five thousand chiefs hurriedly summoned his servants and said, "Go to the east of the city immediately and see what happened!" If there's an emergency, report it immediately!
Then he said to the left and right: "Order to stop the siege of the city, press it for the time being, and wait for the news to come from the east of the city, and then do the district!"
At the same time, the five thousand commanders of the barbarian army besieging the north of the city also made the same decision.
