Chapter 667: Great Unification (8)
Zhang Fan, one of the families in Jianye City, was married to a concubine from the countryside when he just turned 20 last month.
It's just that it didn't take long for Jianye City to enter a state of strict alert, and all the strong men were sent out to serve as servant soldiers.
Zhang Fan is tall and big, and he has learned the exercises and has the strength of the innate beginner level, so he began to emerge after being recruited into the servant camp.
In just one month, Zhang Fan became the deputy commander of the first battalion, and his officers and men numbered more than 1,300.
Zhang Fan was also quite proud of this, of course, sometimes he also thought that it would be better if these subordinates were not all old and weak but regular soldiers.
Zhang Fan is full of hope for the future, but it's a pity that ...... The army of the Han regent from the Yangtze River has arrived!
The huge army made Zhang Fan almost stop breathing after standing on the city wall, and although the sudden heavy rain made Zhang Fan and others breathe a sigh of relief, the ensuing siege battle still stimulated Zhang Fan to be in a state of nightmare all night.
"Am I going to die?"
At night, at three o'clock in the morning, Zhang Fan hid in the attic and sat around the fire with a group of men to dispel the cold.
Outside, the rain is still falling, and there is no sign of stopping.
At the city wall ten meters away, the corpses that had been piled up a while ago had already been cleaned up, and the blood stains and breath had been washed away by the torrential rain.
"Ding. ”
Zhang Fan's trembling body suddenly stopped, and then he stood up and pulled out the steel knife that already had many gaps and said, "Get up, those gang of people who killed a thousand knives are coming to attack at night again." ”
"Oh my God, they've attacked seven or eight times since the sun went down until now, don't they need to rest?" a veteran wailed, clutching his hungry stomach and gritting his teeth.
"They have a lot more troops than we do, and they can take turns attacking us. Zhang Fan gasped and said: "Fortunately, the rainstorm has not stopped, God is helping us, brothers, keep this night, they will definitely lack physical strength tomorrow." ”
At the end, Zhang Fan took the lead in touching the city wall, and sure enough, he saw the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army who had just sneaked up, so the two sides started a big battle on the city wall again.
The rain is now at this point, don't bow and arrow crossbow machines, even those large stone throwing machines, which are no longer usable, and the two sides have really become more primitive and backward hand-to-hand combat than the barbarians.
"Kill!"
Zhang Fan cut off the arm of a Royal Forest soldier wearing chain mail with a single sword, and then he kicked out a kick that shook the surrounding air and rain, knocking away more than a dozen Royal Forest soldiers.
However, this was only the beginning, although Zhang Fan offset a lot of pressure, but the attacking soldiers continued to climb the city wall, and soon formed an advantage in numbers.
In addition, the combat effectiveness of the Royal Forest Army was stronger than Zhang Fan's old and weak, and in just a few minutes, Zhang Fan and the others were so suppressed that they could only retreat to the attic.
"Has the distress signal been sent?"
"It was sent out, and there were more than 50 signals sent out at the same time, and almost the entire city of Jianye City was being attacked. The veteran beside Zhang Fan wiped his cold sweat and said.
"Damn, I hope we don't have any rival generals here. ”
At this point, Zhang Fan's eyelids suddenly jumped, and he saw a strong and majestic body like an ox appear on the city wall.
"Shhh...... It's Yan Liang, the great general of the Han Dynasty!"
Seeing that person, Zhang Fan secretly said badly, and then had to raise his knife to meet Yan Liang, who was killed.
Yan Liang waved the Pu knife, and killed Zhang Fan with a swing, and then swung another knife, and the interior of the attic was suddenly filled with Yan Liang's vigorous blade, and when Yan Liang snorted coldly and turned away, the attic was full of the remains of Jianye soldiers.
Touch!
The attic, which had sheltered from the rain, collapsed and fell from the city wall, sending out a lot of smoke and dust in the rain.
"Whew, whew. “
After Yan Liang did all this, he turned to look behind him, where the smoke and rain were misty, the sound of horses' hooves and panting was clear to his ears!
Rumble!
The jujube red war horse, led by a peerless general, crashed into the Royal Forest Army that had been lined up on the city wall, and swung out its sword qi, as if mowing grass, knocking away pieces of officers and soldiers.
Yan Liang was furious, raised his Pu knife and issued the ultimate move against the attacker with all his strength, and suddenly the city wall where the two sides collided exploded, forming a gap more than half a meter long!
Bang la blah.
After the gravel fell, Yan Liang took a few steps back, his hands holding the Pu knife trembled, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with blood.
And Guan Yu, the general who attacked Guan Yu, just rode back a few steps back, his color remained unchanged, and he was not panting.
"Do it again, and you will have nowhere to run. Guan Yu looked at Yan Liang and said: "Your force is not weak, but it's a pity that you pay too much attention to strength, and I am too slow in speed!"
"You!"
Yan Liang was so angry that he coughed up blood, but he had to admit that he couldn't beat Guan Yu, a monster.
Fortunately, there was the sound of gongs and drums for the withdrawal of troops at this time, and Yan Liang hurriedly retreated.
Guan Yu only dismounted at this time, and glanced at the city wall where Yan Liang was standing quite meaningfully.
"Is there really a hidden assassin there? Hehe, if I had just wanted to keep Yan Liang at any cost, I'm afraid I would have been attacked. ”
Guan Yu whispered and turned to leave.
Lin Tian had to admire, Guan Yu's battle instinct was really terrifying, even the invisible Dark Templar could detect it from such a distance.
"How unwise it is to attack the city so many times in a row. In Jianye City, Xu Shu shook his head and said.
"No, I think the other party guessed Guo Jia's plan, but he was unwilling to withdraw like this. Pang Tong squinted his eyes and said, "I see, after this night passes, the regent of Dahan will withdraw his troops." ”
"Retirement?"
"Just retreat?"
"A rainstorm, a million army has fallen short?" Pang Tong beside him, several staff members were also surprised and muttered.
"The regent of the Han Dynasty withdrew like this, and his face ......"
"Then the regent is not a person who wants to save face!" Pang Tong sneered: "For the support of the family, even a hundred years of disasters can be accepted with emotion, what is impossible for him to withdraw now? If my guess is correct, his current old and weak army is estimated to have begun to withdraw." ”
"Oh?"
A group of staff members heard the words and gave orders to go out, and after waiting for a long time, a military general finally walked in.
"The last general, Zhu Ran, has already detected the movement of the Han army, and their rear army has indeed been emptied, and now the front army is also regrouping and retreating. ”
"Do you have any food and grass equipment left?" asked Pang Tong.
"As far as I can see, there are armor and weapons in many tents, and in terms of grain and grass, most of them are also left in several large warehouses. ”
"Hehe, it's really going to retire. Pang Tong touched his chin and said: "He is also a decisive person, knowing that this is unfavorable, he is ready to wait for the next opportunity, to be honest, if he goes back to Jingzhou or even Yuzhou, and leads a million troops to come again, we Jiangdong, is there still a Guo Jia?"
"Master Pang Tongjun, what are you going to do?" Liu Bei got up and asked.
"Attack, leave the regent Lin Tian behind!" Pang Tong waved his hands fiercely: "It must be so, otherwise I will still have no life in Jiangdong!"
"This ......" A group of staff members were surprised, but they also had to admit Pang Tong's point of view.
Yes, Jiangdong is too far behind the power of the regent Lin Tian, and the regent Wu Shuangquan is even more terrifying because he is proficient in the art of economics, and Guanzhong and Puyang under his governance are rich in the world!
Even if they defeated Lin Tian's million-strong army this time, what was the point? If Lin Tian was still there, there would be no civil strife in Guanzhong, and if there would be no chaos in Guanzhong, Jiangdong would definitely not be alive at all!
"The Sima clan is extremely ambitious, and they ......"
"They can afford to wait!" Xun Leng who knew the Sima family snorted coldly and said: "Sima Yi is a genius, he is better at forbearance, unless the regent Lin Tian returns to heaven or is dizzy, he will definitely not jump out." ”
"So, our chances of winning are to take the regent Lin Tian?"
"Mobilize the strongest generals such as us and shoot together...... Take them down!"
"Good~!"
Jianye City suddenly opened the city gate, and then, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took the lead in leading the iron cavalry to kill out, and behind them, Dian Wei, Xu Zhu, Cao Ren Cao Zhang and other fierce generals also led the tiger and leopard cavalry to follow closely.
"Charge the whole army!"
"Kill!"
The tigers and leopard riders braved the torrential rain to enter the camp of the Royal Foresters, and the passage was unexpectedly easy.
Guan Yu killed a few cavalrymen who were blocking, and frowned slightly: "It's not good, depending on the situation, the regent Lin Tian has already fled in advance." ”
"Second brother, you can't let you escape there!" Zhang Fei said in surprise: "Hurry up and pursue." ”
"That's all it can be. Guan Yu was a little worried about being ambushed, but as long as there was this way of life in front of him, for the sake of the king of the eldest brother Liu Bei, he had to grit his teeth and rush forward, only hoping that the ancestors of the Great Han Dynasty could bless them so that they could capture the regent Lin Tian.
"The front camp was broken, although there were not many elites, and the rain reduced their physical strength, but it could also be seen that the attacking general was extremely strong. ”
Jia Xu sat on a boat, eating pastries and watching the battle on the riverbank under the service of several servants.
"Strategist, the front line is urgent. ”
"Let's go. Jia Xu said.
"The iron cavalry led by General Ma Chao broke through the Shanyue army that came to help, and captured the commander of this army, Zhong Limu. ”
"Zhong Limu?" Jia Xu touched his short beard and said: "I remember that this person can be called a first-class famous general in Jiangdong, and his force may be inferior, but in terms of commander, he is better than a first-class general." ”
"Yes, the army he led was extremely tenacious, but it was a pity that he met my Han Iron Cavalry, and General Ma Chao was extremely brave and led his troops through the opponent's formation, so he was defeated. ”
"Very good, so that there is no more variables in this battle of Jiangdong. Jia Xu waved his sleeves: "Please take action and lay the chance for victory." ”
On the battlefield......
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other fierce generals rushed all the way to kill, and unconsciously stayed away from Jianye City, and after killing and destroying one army after another, Guan Yu noticed that something was wrong.
"If there is no major rout, how can this be, could it be that every unit of the Royal Forest Army can be restrained?"
"Second brother, whatever, he can't retreat now, keep killing, I don't believe I can't find it. ”
"Whew. Guan Yu gathered his strength in his eyes, saw through the rain curtain wall, and saw the building boat by the river.
Those building boats swayed under the torrential rain, and many of them were still stranded on the shore, but it cannot be denied that they are still a way of life, and the transfer army may not be able to do it in such weather, but it is not impossible to let a team of elites cross the river.
"Don't cross the river. Guan Yu whispered silently, holding the Glaive Knife and continuing to kill forward.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried horses' hooves sounded all around, and seeing the momentum of the shaking rain, Guan Yu knew that the strong enemy had arrived.
"Huang Zhong is here, the traitor is not ready to surrender quickly!" The veteran Huang Zhong rode an ironclad horse, holding a Pu knife to kill, and he was surrounded by Zhang Liao, Cao Xing's five hundred iron cavalry, and Gao Shun's own eight hundred trapped camps.
Coupled with the more than 5,000 Hebei heavy cavalry brought by the general Zhang He and Gao Lan, they surrounded the army that attacked this time and collided together.
"Death to the traitor!"
The two sides roared battle cries almost simultaneously, and then fought together.
Outside Jianye City, there was a team of defeated soldiers at this time.
Led by Zhong Limu, a famous general in Jiangdong, he coughed blood, and brought more than 200 soldiers and horses to Jianye City to knock on the door.
"It's General Zhong Limu. Jiang Dongbing recognized this prestigious general, and whispered one after another, and the Zhongli family in the city hurriedly opened the door, but was stopped by the military advisor Xu Shu.
Xu Shu went up to the city wall and asked a few questions, which made people open the city gate.
Zhong Limu poured into the city with more than 200 people, and just arrived in the city recess, when suddenly there was a bang, the city gate closed, and a group of spearmen stood up on the city wall.
"Why is this?" Zhong Limu was slightly stunned and shouted, but his eyes showed appreciation and relief.
"The general has worked hard. Xu Shu clenched his fists, and then looked at one of the more than two hundred people: "In addition, Your Royal Highness the Regent, you are too bold." ”
"Hehe, are you the famous military master Xu Shu?" Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders slightly and raised his head: "If you are not bold, how can you enter this Jianye?"
