Chapter 10: Another Night Attack
"The military advisor is so treacherous! But I like it, so I'll go. ”
Wei Yan was originally a bold master, and his military and dangerous moves were his favorite, which was caused by a person's character, and he became energetic when he heard this.
Yan Jing hurriedly stopped: "In the big battle last night, General Wei made a big effort, so I'll go this time." ”
Yuan Xi waved his hand and said: "General Yan is also responsible for staying in Neihuang, you are familiar with it here, Wen Chang is a newcomer, and he is from Nanjun, and he can't stay in this town to live in those big families." ”
Yan Jing is right when he thinks about it, the big families of Hebei support Yuan Shao, but these people are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they can really bully people, especially outsiders.
After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "That's okay, the last general will stay, but those soldiers should be careful that they defect." ”
Xu Shu said with a smile: "Don't worry, those people have already been counted, most of them were originally Hebei soldiers, and they followed Zhang He and Gao Ran to surrender to Cao Mengde." ”
Yan Jing was surprised by the efficiency of Yuan Xi's subordinates, and was relieved, besides, the soldiers of this era are generally very obedient, and whoever surrenders will do it.
This is the characteristic of this era, in fact, it is no wonder that the people who were originally all Han people were not with anyone, and it was just a matter of eating in a different place.
And after the surrender, the families of the soldiers are generally not liquidated, and whoever is so idle to find so many people to liquidate, if they want to find the general's family.
"Lord, how about we take the cavalry with General Hua to Anyang?"
Wei Yan went to light up the soldiers and horses and straighten out the training, and Xu Shu said to Yuan Xi with a smile.
Yuan Xi laughed when he heard this: "Yuan Zhi's idea is good, this time it won't stop me from going into battle, right?" ”
"Don't stop it, but you have to say it first, we must listen to the command of General Hua when we are in battle, and we are not allowed to exceed our authority, otherwise we will lead the army law by ourselves, and we will not be allowed to participate in the war in the future."
Xu Shu took him into an army, Yuan Xi rolled his eyes helplessly and said: "Don't worry, the military advisor is self-aware, the Anyang defenders are strong, we are going to make trouble, I understand this." ”
On the same day, Huang repaired, and the next day Wei Yan set off first, before leaving, Xu Shu grabbed him and shouted in a low voice: "Wen Chang remember, don't really fight, these soldiers are best brought back to Youzhou, our lord has few people, these are veterans who have been on the battlefield, don't lose." ”
Wei Yan was speechless by Xu Shu again, and secretly poked and poked in the belly, how could these strategists be so black.
However, he listened to this advice, how will Youzhou develop in the future, Yuan Xi didn't hide it from him, so he patted his chest and reassured him and left with his head held high.
When they were far away, Hua Mulan also waited for the two of them with a whole army, and with an order, they said goodbye to Yan Jing and went straight to Anyang.
Anyang City also sent scouts at this time, and those soldiers who fled did not come to Anyang until last night to report the news, and some people simply hid in the mountains, took off their robes and stopped fighting.
After receiving the news, Anyang Shou General Li Dian sent someone to Yecheng overnight to deliver the letter, and he sent a probe to investigate the news from Neihuang's side.
The deserters couldn't tell who attacked the camp at all, and even how many people said several versions, only knowing that one general with a ghost mask had no arrows, and Niu Gai was beheaded by another general.
This surprised Li Dian, although Niu Gai is not a general, he is also a famous general, at least with Gong Du Liu Pi.
In history, he and Zhang Liao put down the rebellion, and also made meritorious contributions, and the name of Niu Gai in this battle is listed alongside Zhang He in the history books, and he exists as Zhang Liao's deputy general.
Therefore, Niu Gai is not an unknown person, but he was beheaded by Wei Yan, although it was a bit of luck in the chaotic army, but it also showed that Wei Yan was brave.
In addition, Li Dian listened to the explanation, it seems that Wei Yan is not the main general in this battle, but the one who wears a mask, and no one knows who it is.
Li Dian, who has always been cautious, sent twelve teams to scout horses in a row, and only seventeen people returned to Anyang in the evening, which made Li Dian even more frightened.
The normal team of horse scouts is five people, and forty-three people have not returned, except for those who may not be able to come back, I am afraid that there will be no fewer killed.
Yuan Xi did not chase these horses, but on his own march, he cleared all the discoveries he found, and ignored them at all in the distance.
He was in a hurry, and at this time he had arrived twenty miles outside Anyang City, resting in a hidden place, preparing to go to Anyang City at night to find trouble.
"Childe, the slave family has selected thirty people who are good at shooting, and they will lurk under the city tonight, and the rest of the people will disturb the enemy and let them show their figures, does Childe plan to lurk or disturb the enemy in the rear?"
Hua Mulan came in quietly and asked, with a peerless face without a mask, even Xu Shu didn't dare to look at it a second time.
Yuan Xi smiled and stretched out his hand to hold her hand and said, "Naturally, they all listen to their mothers, and they listen to their wives for their husbands." ”
Hua Mulan broke away from his hand in disgust, turned his back to his back and said, "Childe has been learning archery with me for so long, although it is still a little hot, but it is not bad, then follow me to lurk, and the follow-up will be handed over to the military advisor." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and left, for fear of being left behind and rubbed with oil.
After she went out, Xu Shu asked puzzledly: "The lord is talking nonsense, what is a wife, isn't this a beautiful woman?" ”
Yuan Xi then remembered that the title of wife only started in the Tang Dynasty, and before that, it referred to older women, and as for her husband, it actually started at that time.
It's not right that the husband on the Internet refers specifically to the eunuch, just look at the Water Margin and understand, it's just that the eunuch is indeed called the husband.
Yuan Xi's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly explained with a smile: "The young couple is an old companion, and Xi calls her wife in the hope that the white head will come to an end. ”
When Xu Shu heard this, he was greatly praised for his interesting title, but even more praised him for his good life, a Zhen family was originally the best in the world, and there was another one, who had this good life.
Just after that night, Yuan Xi followed Mulan, accompanied by thirty people, all with strong bows, dismounted and walked near the city, and secretly lurked under the city wall.
On the fourth watch, the earth shook slightly, and soon alarmed the night watchmen in the city, who stood up one by one, leaned out half of their bodies to look into the distance.
Whoosh ......
The terrible screams were extremely loud in the night, and when they landed, the city was in chaos, and the shouts continued, and more people showed their bodies.
Hua Mulan gave an order, Yuan Xi and thirty strong men followed her to shoot, and when the people in the city began to organize archers and prepare to shoot them, Xu Shu led the men and horses to the front.
"Shoot! Suppress the head of the city to protect the lord's retreat. ”
A sneak attack battle seemed to be anticlimactic, but the damage to Cao Jun was great, not how many people died, but the people's hearts were fluctuating, and Li Dian had to be forced to send people out of the city to find them.
