340 consequences of underestimating the enemy
Yan Kuan sat on the horse with sharp eyes, the spear was against Mandan Dan's chest, and there was a sudden silence around him, and even the sound of the wind could be heard.
No one expected that the person who didn't even dare to fight at the beginning would knock down the weapon in the hand of a fierce military general and be kicked off the horse.
After the Lingnan soldiers reacted, they felt extremely embarrassed, and they didn't know who shouted, "They are cheating, we want to seek justice for the generals and kill them."
"Kill them!"
"Kill—"
Those who don't talk about martial arts only win, and the Lingnan generals who can't afford to lose pick up the weapons in their hands one after another and attack Yan Kuan's side.
If it was just the defeat of the two generals in the battle, Yan Kuan would not have asked for Mang'erdan's life, but in the face of the Lingnan Army being so unreasonable, he would not have taken it so seriously.
Before the Lingnan soldiers raised their weapons to attack him, Yan Kuan's spear against Mang'erdan's chest gently sent it forward in his frightened eyes.
Blood gushed out and stained the iron armor red, and when the spear was drawn, blood splattered.
Mandan puffed out his eyes, and blood spilled out of his mouth, down the corners of his mouth and down to his cheeks, falling to the ground, seeping into the dirt.
Yan Wan looked at Mangdan with pity and said, "Don't blame me, blame only the generals you lead, someone wants to take your place."
While you are defeated, incite the soldiers to attack us, I can't let you go, you as a general, go back. ”
Although Mangerdan is a reckless general, but he is not a fool, knowing that he is going to die at this time, Yan Kuan is useless even if he sow discord, and understands that what he said is true.
He looked with difficulty at the general he had brought, and saw the one rushing to the front, and when the long-faced lieutenant met his gaze, his pupils shrank tightly, and his expression was flustered, and there was something he didn't understand.
Mandan opened his mouth to the lieutenant who had always flattered him, and finally opened his eyes and swallowed his last breath, ending up with a dead end.
"It's hard to guard against villains," Yan Kuan sighed.
Riding a horse, he gave an order and led the people to withdraw to the city gate.
After the two sides widened the distance, the archers on the city wall, who had long been on guard, fired ten thousand arrows in unison, like a rain of swords, and the enemy arrows who chased under the city fell one after another.
Frightened, the leading lieutenant shouted and retreated.
He just wanted to use this method to get rid of the general Mangerdan who was in front of him, and he was so good that he could ascend, but he didn't want to really lose his life here.
An Chuxia Qing Lingling looked at the Lingnan generals who were looking for death below, and there were four or five hundred people who died under the first wave of archers.
The enemy troops who withdrew from the range of the archers were just relieved, but another wave of arrows fell from the city walls.
They didn't expect that there were bows and arrows with such a long range in the Nanning army, and if they shot so far, the power of the arrows was not weak at all, and they could even penetrate people's bodies.
The crossbow arrows that An Chuxia made people can fire continuously, and in this wave, only a small half of the 3,000 or so soldiers brought by Mangedan escaped.
Not to mention that Korla and the military division sent Mangerdan to provoke, but just to test to see if the Nanning army had the courage to go out of the city to fight.
How angry he was when he learned that Mangerdan was killed because of his lieutenant's careful thinking.
Anyway, because of the victory in the first battle, the morale of Nanning City rose sharply, and the people rejoiced when they found out.
Yan Kuan retreated to the city, and An Chuxia had already led people to stand under the city tower to greet him.
Yan Kuan, who was riding on the horse, immediately got down, knelt down on one leg, and clenched his fists with both hands, "The little one is fortunate not to be dishonored and defeat the enemy leader." ”
An Chuxia stepped forward to help Yan Kuan, "Show the enemy to be weak, turn defeat into victory, be brave and strategic, you have done a good job." ”
Yan Kuan was praised like this, he was a big man, and the roots of his ears were slightly red, but his voice was mellow and loud, "Thank you for complimenting!" ”
Several other generals also stepped forward and patted Yan Kuan's shoulder, "Good boy, even we were deceived at the beginning, thinking that you were cowardly, and you didn't dare to fight, and almost pulled off the old man's beard by yourself." ”
"Hahaha! I didn't expect you to fight back, just to drain the opponent's strength. ”
"The afterlife is terrible, the afterlife is terrifying!" Another general sighed.
Yan Qianhu, who bought the beard, squeezed to his son's side, straightened his broad chest, and held his head high with honor.
But everyone just glanced at him, no one paid attention to him, Yan Qianhu, who was a little funny, puffed out his cheeks, and looked at his son with some grievances.
An Chuxia and Mu Tan who came over, watching more and more soldiers surround them, the two slowly withdrew and walked towards the camp.
"I don't know what happened to Lanyue and my brother who went to Lingnan."
Mu Tan heard the worry in An Chuxia's tone, so he comforted him warmly: "In the army that went to attack Lingnan this time, you have all arranged the personnel at the top and bottom.
There are fierce generals in attack, Xiao Shizi in defense, a flexible person, and Yun Qianshu from the strategist family you arranged.
There are also your own secret guards arranged by Lanyue's side, as well as the people brought by Ling Yun.
Regardless of the final outcome of the battle, they will have no problem coming out of the way, and you don't have to worry too much. ”
Ann Chuxia was comforted.
Because there are not only these people who are protecting Lanyue, but also the dragon guards who Mu Tan doesn't know and secretly follows Lanyue's side to protect.
There should be no problem in ensuring that Lanyue's life is safe and sound.
Although An Chuxia was a little worried and worried about her brother and niece, Nanning City was now under siege, and there were too many things to prepare in the army, so she could only let go.
I returned to the barracks and continued to think about how to solve the Lingnan Army outside the city and solve the difficulties of Nanning City.
She sent people from the tunnel dug out by Jiang Zhirou, wanting to contact Zuo Wang and Han Moran outside, as well as Xue Dagui, who took 5,000 soldiers to support the ambush.
Several attempts to get out of the dry well were almost discovered by Lingnan soldiers who were expanding their patrols.
I can't get in touch now, and I don't know how they fought in ambush.
Zuo Wang, who was worried about An Chuxia, and after meeting with the people led by Xue Dagui, he sent the Lingnan army back to Korla to rescue, and there were not many soldiers left to return to Lingnan Kingdom.
They had now taken a mountain path and come to a valley not far from Nanning City to rest.
The materials were secretly transported back by Zuo Wang with the hand card order given by An Chuxia, to a town that was not close, and in the shop he opened.
Xue Dagui is also an experienced general, he led people to nest in the ravine, waiting for an opportunity.
can cooperate with Nanning City to send troops, cooperate with it inside and outside, and assist the main army inside to defeat the enemy army, hoping that this can solve the dilemma of Nanning City.
He also once sent someone to contact An Chuxia through the tunnel and inform them of his thoughts, but he was also almost discovered by the soldiers of the Lingnan Army's expanded patrol.
Yan Kuan can also be regarded as a small battle to become famous.
Rewards and punishments are clearly an iron law in the army, and Yan Kuan made the first contribution, and An Chuxia appointed him as the head of a thousand households leading the recruits.
It just so happened that the recruits he trained would be under his command in the future, so that there was no division between the soldiers under the other generals, and they did not have much opinion.
