Chapter 500 The two armies will meet and fight to the death

Wei Yan, who was sitting on the stone barrier, took a piece of cloth stained with herbs from the hand of his personal guard and tied it to the wound on his arm.

And at this moment, on the ground in front of Wei Yan, there was just a blood cloth with blood scabs that had been replaced.

Not only Wei Yan was in front of him, but even in front of the thousands of soldiers gathered around him, there were also freshly replaced wounded cloths.

In that battle some time ago, in order to successfully break out of the encirclement, Wei Yan and his headquarters soldiers and horses can be described as fearless of death.

The deadly style of play successfully allowed Wei Yan to lead his troops to break out of the encirclement, but it also succeeded in almost all of Wei Yan's soldiers being injured.

Of course, most of the soldiers who could continue to follow Wei Yan were not seriously injured, they were basically skin injuries, and there would be no problem in treating them with the herbs they carried.

As for those who were seriously injured, they had already stayed outside the south gate of Nanzheng City.

And this part of the people accounted for more than half of the soldiers and horses of Wei Yan's headquarters, which shows how fierce the battle was.

But fortunately, the final result was good, which was the only comfort in Wei Yan's heart at the moment.

After re-binding the herb-stained cloth, Wei Yan stretched out his arm slightly, and found that his injuries were no longer serious.

At least it won't affect him to go into battle and kill the enemy.

Thinking of this, Wei Yan picked up the long sword that was placed aside, and quickly came to Zhou Tai's side.

Zhou Taiben was inspecting the injuries of several soldiers, and he came from a good family, and he also learned some simple medical skills in his youth.

But Zhou Tai, who squatted on the ground to inspect the injury, soon found that a shadow appeared above his head, thinking that there was a strong man, blocking the sunlight above his head.

Zhou Tai looked up and found that it was Wei Yan.

Zhou Tai also found that at this moment, Wei Yanzheng was looking at him with blazing eyes.

Zhoutai, who knew why Wei Yan was so good, didn't want to deal with Wei Yan very much.

Something similar happened yesterday and even the day before yesterday.

But Wei Yan saw that Zhou Tai ignored him, his eyes narrowed, and he directly pulled away the soldier that Zhou Tai was healing, and then squatted directly opposite Zhou Tai, just staring at Zhou Tai.

In this way, the eagerness in Wei Yan's eyes, Zhou Tai can no longer dodge.

Zhou Tai couldn't help but sigh and asked, "General Zhenbei, why is this?" ”

Why?

"Why do you knowingly ask?"

Wei Yan's voice was a little hoarse, but it was conclusive.

After saying this, Wei Yan saw that Zhou Tai did not mean to answer, so Wei Yan went straight to the future to clarify his intentions:

"The time has come to unlock the tips given by the general."

This is Wei Yan's intention.

However, after listening to Wei Yan's intentions, Zhou Tai categorically vetoed: "There are still a few days before the half-moon period, and it is not time to open the general's bag." ”

Zhou Tai's veto made Wei Yan angry.

He stood up and pointed down, "You get up and take a look." ”

At Wei Yan's request, Zhou Tai really stood up.

Nearly half a month ago, in order not to let the Wei army see his true whereabouts, Wei Yan pretended to lead his troops towards Yangping Pass after breaking through the siege.

Later, after successfully throwing off the Wei army's troops, Wei Yan led his troops to quickly turn back, and quietly detoured to Dingjun Mountain through some hidden areas.

All this is not difficult for Wei Yan, who is familiar with the terrain of Nanzheng.

Therefore, the place where Zhou Tai and Wei Yan are located at the moment is on Dingjun Mountain.

Dingjun Mountain is located in the south of Nanzheng, and it is the highest mountain in Nanzheng, looking down from Dingjun Mountain, it is easy to see some of the moves of the Wei army.

For example, at present, on the north bank of the Han River, there are a large number of Wei troops, and they are building embankments in the Han River.

Most importantly, from the perspective of Wei Yan and Zhou Tai, it is not difficult to see that the embankment built by the Wei army has been largely completed.

It was after seeing this that Wei Yan became anxious.

"Don't you know what that means?"

Wei Yan's deep voice was faintly impatient.

Wei Yan can also see the Zhoutai, and the Zhoutai, who has been taught by Mi Yang, naturally knows what it means that the Wei army's embankment is about to be repaired.

It means that in a period of time at most, maybe a few days, the surging Han water below will be pouring towards Nanzheng City.

How could this not make Wei Yan feel impatient.

Of course, the impatience in Zhou Tai's heart was no lower than that in Wei Yan's heart, but he still shook his head and said:

"No matter what the situation below is, as long as the time is not a moment, I will not open the general's bag."

Seeing that Zhou Tai was so stubborn, Wei Yan couldn't help but be angry, and his voice couldn't help but be louder under the anger.

"Do you still expect reinforcements from Yizhou?

It's been a year, it's been a whole year, and the imperial court has given us half of Liangzhou's support!

The only thing we have left is ourselves. ”

When Wei Yan said this, there was a lot of dissatisfaction in his tone.

This level of dissatisfaction is not only in his heart, but also in the hearts of many soldiers in Liangzhou, but only Wei Yan dares to say it directly.

The situation in Liangzhou has become so critical now, is it because the soldiers in Liangzhou are not effective enough to die? Or is it unfavorable for the general to command?

If it were for these two reasons, Liangzhou would have been lost a long time ago, and the reason for the current precarious situation was that Liangzhou did not receive any support.

It's not that Wei Yan doesn't know that the imperial court has the difficulties of the imperial court, but if it takes a few months, Wei Yan can still make himself understand.

But a whole year has passed, Liangzhou's blood is about to run dry, and the imperial court's reinforcements are still far away, how can Wei Yan, who has an impatient temperament, understand?

Perhaps Wei Yan was still dissatisfied with becoming Mi Yang's subordinate at first, but with many joint battles, Wei Yan's mentality also changed unconsciously.

He was a courtier of the Han Dynasty, but he was also a general of Liangzhou and had a strong sense of the countryside.

Wei Yan's roar attracted the attention of the surrounding soldiers, but after listening to Wei Yan's words, their faces also became gloomy.

It could be seen from their faces that they agreed with Wei Yan's words.

Even if Mi Yang has been speaking for the court in the past, this can't match the truth after all.

Wei Yan thought that his words could also resonate with Zhou Tai, so that he would not be so stubborn, but Zhou Tai did resonate, but he still craned his neck and resolutely refused to hand over the bag in his arms.

Zhou Tai knew why he was appointed by Mi Yang as Wei Yan's deputy general, and why Mi Yang would hand over the tips to him, in order to prevent such a situation?

In this case, he must not live up to Mi Yang's trust.

Zhou Tai's posture made Wei Yan more and more angry, thinking of the breakthrough battle some time ago, if it wasn't for his sworn protection, how could Zhou Tai be safe and sound, and almost all of his subordinates were injured, but Zhou Tai was not injured at all?

Unexpectedly, Zhou Tai didn't miss any kindness.

Wei Yan, who was in a hurry, was a little careless, and he stepped forward to snatch the bag in Zhou Tai's arms.

Maybe this kind of thing will make Mi Yang extremely dissatisfied in the future, but as long as he can save Mi Yang and Liangzhou without delaying the opportunity, Wei Yan is willing to take this responsibility.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Tai had already expected Wei Yan's move, and he hurriedly jumped a few steps away and shouted: "General Zhenbei intends to violate the order of the general. ”

When Zhou Tai's words were shouted, the thousands of Han soldiers who were originally resting around suddenly stood up.

They are Wei Yan's headquarters soldiers and horses, but after Mi Yang reformed the military system, the generals and colonels in Wei Yan's headquarters are also Mi Yang's descendants.

And they know the identity of Zhou Tai, named as a deputy general, but he is actually a supervisor!

Wei Yan saw that thousands of soldiers stood up directly regardless of their injuries, and there was a faint tendency to surround him, which made Wei Yan feel at a loss.

He's a general who wants to save us!

Wei Yan, who was helpless and angry, could not dare to disobey Mi Yang's order, and in the end, he could only draw the long sword at his waist, slash at the stone barrier in front of him, and said with hatred in his mouth:

"I'm about to fight to the death, but the general won't allow it!"

After reading these straightforward words, Wei Yan threw away the long sword in his hand and sat on the stone barrier angrily with his eyes closed.

Zhou Tai saw that Wei Yan had finally stopped, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that he doesn't know how many more days he can hold down Wei Yan, if he doesn't see reinforcements when the half-month time limit is up, I'm afraid that without Wei Yan speaking, the remaining thousands of soldiers will be noisy.

Because of what Wei Yan said just now, how could it not be the voice of these thousands of soldiers, and even his own heart?

A few more days passed like this, and just one day before the half-moon deadline, Zhou Tai felt that the eyes of thousands of soldiers were almost wrong, and a news from the depths of the dense forest alarmed these thousands of soldiers.

Wei Yan was certainly not one to wait, and during the time he waited, Wei Yan had sent his guards to explore the dense forest.

His personal guards had crossed Dingjun Mountain with him, and they had a certain understanding of the terrain of Dingjun Mountain, which could help them to detect the traces of reinforcements in the dense forest, if there were any.

Why add an if?

Because Wei Yan had already sent his personal guards, but in recent days, there has been no news coming.

But today is different.

Several guards stumbled out of the dense forest and came to Wei Yan and Zhou Tai.

And those guards came with them, as well as Wei Yan and Fu Yan, who Zhou Tai hadn't seen for a long time.

is in the same interest group, and the relationship between Wei Yan, Zhou Tai and Fu Yan is like a fellow countryman.

At the moment, when almost everyone gave up hope, the villager who had not seen him for a long time suddenly reunited from the mountains and forests, and the appearance of this fellow heralded an extremely important event, how could this not make Zhou Tai and Wei Yan ecstatic?

Wei Yan rushed directly to Fu Yan in three steps and two steps, grabbed his arm and asked:

"Are reinforcements arriving?

How many soldiers and horses came? ”

Fu Yan, who had just trekked to Dingjun Mountain, was already exhausted, and suddenly he was violently shaken by Wei Yan, which made him almost faint.

But when he saw Wei Yan and Zhou Tai, his heart was also filled with excitement.

This excitement made him forget about his physical discomfort.

It's just that he didn't answer Wei Yan's question directly, he just smiled and motioned Wei Yan and Zhou Tai to look into the dense forest behind him.

When Wei Yan and Zhou Tai looked into the dense forest behind them, they saw an unforgettable scene in their lives.

I saw a soldier whose body was covered with dirt and thorns gradually emerged from the dense forest, and although the soldier looked embarrassed, his eyes were bright, like stars shining in the starry sky.

More importantly, as time passed, the entire mountain forest was gradually filled with Han troops who appeared one after another.

The red tassels on the hood of the Han army are so dazzling in the dark mountains and forests!

Finally, a familiar figure appeared in the army - Deng Ai!

After Deng Ai saw Wei Yan and Zhou Tai, he hurriedly ran forward and hugged the two tightly.

He finally came home.

After a long journey of more than a month, reinforcements from Yizhou finally came to Dingjun Mountain according to Miyang's plan!

When his thoughts turned from the violent surprise, Wei Yan immediately asked Zhou Tai to open Mi Yang's bag.

Although Deng Ai and Fu Yan didn't know why Wei Yan and Zhou Tai appeared on Dingjun Mountain, after hearing that Mi Yang had a good preparation, they were still very curious and focused on Zhou Tai's body.

And at this moment, Zhou Tai finally took out the bag given by Mi Yang from his arms and took out the creed in it.

When Mi Yang's note was displayed in the eyes of several Liangzhou generals, I saw only one sentence written on it:

"Grab the embankment and flood the Wei camp!"

After such a simple sentence fell into the eyes of several Liangzhou generals, it caused several Liangzhou generals to laugh together.

He really deserves to be a general.

This is like what a general did!

Since the general has an order, how can his subordinates not obey the reason?

Feeling that a historic moment was about to take place, Wei Yan couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and once again drew the long sword at his waist and slashed the stone barrier under his feet:

"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! ”

This sentence is much shorter than the one shouted a few days ago, but it also proves that Wei Yan's mood at this moment is different.

At that time, the ministers were about to fight to the death, and the general did not allow it, but today it is the general who teaches the ministers how to fight to the death, what a pleasant thing for Wei Yan, who has long been full of fighting spirit?

And the thousands of soldiers of Zhou Tai and Wei Yan's headquarters saw Wei Yan's "relapse", and they knew the reason, they couldn't help laughing and pulling out their blades to chop the stones around them, and shouted in their mouths:

"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! ”

Deng Ai, Fu Yi and tens of thousands of reinforcements who had just arrived didn't know the reason, but they were infected by their emotions, and they also subconsciously pulled out the blades on their waists, or knocked on the stones on the side, or knocked on the trunks of trees on the side, and shouted in their mouths: "Fight to the death!" Fight to the death! ”

In the rainy season, there used to be a lot of rain in Hanzhong, so the tens of thousands of Han soldiers on Dingjun Mountain had a lot of mud on their blades, and the soil covered the blades, as if the sharp edges of the blades were covered.

But at this moment, with the continuous knocking of tens of thousands of Han troops, tens of thousands of sharp blades were gradually washed with lead, revealing their edge!

And with the sound of tens of thousands of shouts, it seems that there is some kind of force in the dark, the dark clouds in the sky are constantly gathering, and bursts of thunder are also sounding in the world.

Later historical records recorded:

In July of the fourth year of Han Zhangwu, the two armies successfully met at Dingjun Mountain.

In July of the fourth year of Han Zhangwu, outside the Dingjun Mountain, between the nine heavens and the earth, there was thunder!

On the second day, tens of thousands of Han troops rushed towards the embankment built by the Wei army.

Some readers suggested that I don't want to wait, so I'll send out the first chapter I just finished first.

Chapter 2 won't be too slow, around 10 o'clock.
