Chapter 343: Caught off guard

The strength of the You Yan coalition army left in Pingxiang seems to be a lot, there are 70,000 or 80,000 people, but in fact, there are not many who really have combat effectiveness.

Of these 70,000 or 80,000 people, there were 20,000 wounded soldiers and 30,000 or 40,000 reserve troops.

The reserve army is a number of recruits who have not been on the battlefield and have no combat experience, and their role is to be assigned to each corps to fill the vacancies left by casualties.

The only ones that really have combat effectiveness are the two corps left by the You Yan coalition army to garrison, but the total is only 20,000 people, and it is even more difficult to resist the attack of the first and second legions with only this little force.

Three days later, when the First Army and the Second Army suddenly appeared in Pingxiang's field of vision, the Yan Army and the You Army inside were dumbfounded, and the soldiers hurriedly reported to Wang Zhongyu, the chief general stationed in Pingxiang.

Wang Zhong is a general of You State, he doesn't have much real talent, but his qualifications are deep enough, and Chu Chen, the commander of You Army, doesn't like him very much. Hearing that the brigade of cash countries outside the town, Wang Zhong was also startled, his face was pale, and he stumbled out of the sleeping tent and went to check with the soldiers who reported the news.

When he went up to the earthen wall on the periphery of Pingxiang, he raised his eyes to look outside, and his frightened soul did not possess his body.

Outside the earthen wall, the Jin army is advancing to Pingxiang step by step with a neat battle formation, roughly calculated, the strength of the Jin army is at least more than 100,000 people, the battle array is open, overwhelming, the pennant is displayed, the guns are like a forest, the whole formation is like an incomparably huge black carpet, quickly pressing head-on.

After being stunned for a while, Wang Zhong came back to his senses and called a partial general in a panic. He whispered to him, "You...... When I went to the camp of the Huwei army in the Red Country, I said that the Jin Army was coming to attack Pingxiang, and I asked the Huwei Army of the Red Country to send reinforcements immediately!"

The general nodded again and again, and just as he was about to leave, he put his foot back and asked, "General." What if the Tiger Army doesn't reinforce it?"

"No reinforcements?" Wang Zhong's eyebrows erected, his voice changed, and he shouted in a shrieked voice: "If the Huwei army doesn't come to reinforce them, they will wait to collect the corpses of thousands of Chiguo people in Pingxiang!"

The general's face changed, and he hurriedly intervened to answer yes, then turned around and got off the earthen wall, and rode a fast horse straight to the Huwei army camp to rescue.

The You Yan coalition army would send someone to ask for help from his own army, Li Wei was not surprised by this at all, he smiled secretly in his heart. The Jin army's degree was really fast enough, and it only took three days to rush to Pingxiang.

He did not turn the other party away, and let people bring the partial generals sent by Wang Zhong into the account.

Due to the menacing Jin army, the large number of troops, and the critical situation in Pingxiang, after the meeting, the general had no extra nonsense, and said urgently: "General Li." The big thing is not good, the main force of the Jin army sneaked up on Pingxiang. Pingxiang is now in danger, and the general of my family sent the last general to ask General Nan to send troops to rescue!"

Li Wei sneered in his heart, but he still had a serious expression on his face, and said: "It's really not a coincidence, these days are just in time for my Hu Weijun to close the camp and practice, and now the drill is not over." Unable to reinforce Pingxiang. ”

"What?" the general wondered if his ears had heard it wrong, and he didn't go to the rescue of Pingxiang just for the sake of practice? Which one is more important?

The general subconsciously took a step forward and said hurriedly: "General Li, you can practice at any time." But there is only one Pingxiang, if it is captured by the Jin army, the losses are incalculable, and it will even affect ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Wei had waved his hand impatiently and interrupted: "No need to say any more, no one in our army can leave the camp until the end of our army's drill." ”

"That'...... How long will your army still have to train?"

"Two days to go!"

"Huh?" "Two days?" I am afraid that I will not be able to resist even two hours, let alone two days.

"General Li, you ...... You can't die without help!"

Li Wei said: "It's not that we can't save you when you die, but that our army has another mission! Okay, you don't need to say more, hurry back and get back to your life!" He was expressionless when he spoke, but his fists were clenched tightly, and Li Wei did his best to suppress the resentment in his heart.

At this time, the partial general also saw that what kind of drill was completely Li Wei's excuse, and he didn't want to rescue himself at all.

The partial general turned his heart sideways, let go of his heart, and said loudly: "In the last tense, my general has explained, if your army does not come to the rescue, then the people of Pingxiang Town will all become the martyrs of our army!"

These words touched Li Wei's bottom line, and the You Yan coalition army not only quietly slaughtered the people of their own country, but now they are even more unscrupulous, and they even threaten themselves with the lives of the people in front of themselves.

His eyes were round, his eyes were shining, his gaze was decent, and he said in a cruel voice: "What did you say?

Seeing Li Wei's terrifying appearance at this time, the general suddenly realized that what he had just said was too much, and under Li Wei's fierce eyes, the general instinctively took two steps back, and then turned around and wanted to leave, but how could Li Wei tolerate him leaving?

The latter suddenly drew his sword, rushed to the back of the partial general with only one arrow step, and then stabbed the opponent's heart with a vicious sword.

The general was shocked, and while dodging, he subconsciously raised his arm, and at the same time explained: "General Li, don't ...... mistakenly"

Before he finished speaking, Li Wei's stabbing sword suddenly swept to the side, and the general couldn't dodge, and was slashed by the sword on the armor of the neck.

Fortunately, with the protection of hard armor, the partial general finally resisted this deadly killing move.

However, Li Wei's sword was extremely powerful, although he failed to kill the general, but knocked it to the ground, the general was trying to get up, and the surrounding guards had rushed up, and the blades fell together, with a series of crisp sounds, the general was instantly cut into several sections, and died tragically in the tent of the Chinese army.

Li Wei still didn't understand his hatred, and shouted outside the tent: "Come on, drag the corpse out of the house for me to feed the dogs!"

The general went to the Huwei army camp to ask for help, but the rescuers did not arrive, but put their lives on the line.

On the other side, the You Yan coalition army in Pingxiang has already exchanged hands with the Jin army.

In order to resist the enemy army, Wang Zhong also pulled the reserve soldiers to the battlefield, even if their combat effectiveness was not strong, at least they could support the scene and strengthen their momentum.

Before the defense of the You Yan coalition army on the earthen wall was laid out, the attack of the Jin army arrived, and the first to come was the arrow array of the Jin army, and the black and pressing carving feathers fell from the sky, dense as raindrops.

Seeing such a large area of arrows for the first time, many of the recruits of the reserve were stunned and stupid, standing straight on the earthen wall, forgetting to dodge, forgetting to block, and being nailed into hedgehogs alive.

After a round of arrows, there was almost no place to settle on the earthen wall, and the ground was full of arrows, and hundreds of soldiers and soldiers of You Yan and You Yan were submerged under the sea of arrows.

This is just the beginning, just after one round of arrows, followed by the second and third rounds......

The Jin army's arrow array was continuous, like a storm, even if the soldiers of You Yan and the two armies raised their shields, from time to time someone was pierced through the body by stray arrows, screaming and falling off the earthen wall.

Under an attack of this intensity, even the Underworld Warrior could hardly parry.

Wang Zhong didn't dare to continue to stay on the earthen wall, so he hid under the wall early, raised his head, and remotely commanded the soldiers on the earthen wall below.

Moreover, the city defense of Pingxiang is too poor, there is no city wall, only a one-zhang high earthen wall, and there is not even a stack of arrows on it, people want to block the arrow array, they can only use shields, but the earthen wall is narrow, there is not enough space to lay out a complete shield array, people hold shields, it is to block the top and expose the bottom, block the bottom and expose the top, the two sergeants standing on the earthen wall have become the live target of the Jin army, the sound of arrows and screams one after another, connected into a piece.

Soon, the soldiers of You Yan and the two armies jumped off the earthen wall one after another and fled in the direction of the town center.

Seeing this, Wang Zhong was in a hurry, raised his sword, cut several deserters, and shouted: "Go back!

At this time, the commander of the You Army Corps ran to Wang Zhong and said in a trembling voice: "General, the city wall of Pingxiang is short and narrow, and our army can't hold it at all.

Wang Zhong also wanted to withdraw, but people could run, and those baggage hoarded in Pingxiang could run? If he threw away these baggage, grain, and grass, he would not be able to save even ten heads.

He grabbed the armor of the corps commander and shouted: "You can't withdraw! The Huwei army of the Red Kingdom will rush over to reinforce immediately, even if you die on the battlefield, you have to resist the Jin army for me!" (To be continued......
