Chapter 678: Urgency on both sides
Hearing that the beacon tower of the Great Wall was ignited, Pan Feng hurriedly ran out to take a look.
Sure enough, you can see that black smoke is rushing into the sky, and the trend is coming from Jiuyuan.
They instantly thought that the judgment was wrong, the Xianbei people seemed to be preparing to attack Yunzhong on the surface, but they actually wanted to fight Jiuyuan, and they were overly nervous in the clouds, causing Jiuyuan to neglect to defend.
Pan Feng hurriedly said: "Come on, gather the whole army, leave 10,000 people to defend in the clouds, and the rest will follow me to support Jiuyuan, Zhang Cheng, you will guard the clouds." ”
"Yes!"
The lieutenant general named Zhang Cheng felt a lot of pressure.
But the guards of Hetao were insufficient, so he had to be like Zhu Wei, drive ducks to the shelves, and lead the remaining 10,000 people to guard in the clouds in case of accidents.
Pan Feng gathered the army, did not stop, and hurried to the direction of Jiuyuan.
The distance between the two places is not very far, and if you rush to the army, you can reach Jiuyuan in about a day.
They set out in the afternoon, and after walking for a long time, it was night, and they walked for a while in the dark, and they couldn't hold it anymore, so they stopped to rest.
"Xianbei people must have thought that I would go to save Jiuyuan."
After Pan Feng calmed down, he began to make various conjectures and judgments, and after a while, he said: "Send more scouts out, I want to know if there is an ambush ahead." ”
Dozens of scouts, sent out in the army.
After resting for a night, just after dawn, Pan Feng ordered to set off again.
After walking for about an hour, those scouts came back to report that there was indeed an ambush of Xianbei people on the passage that was about to reach Jiuyuan.
Pan Feng pounced on those enemies who were in ambush, fought with them, eliminated the people, and then killed them to save Jiuyuan.
——
North of the clouds.
When Tuoba Lixiong got the news, he said that Pan Feng was going to save Jiuyuan, so their opportunity came, and the next morning, they directly attacked the Great Wall Gate Cave in the north of Yunzhong.
Because Tuoba Lixiong had been dormant nearby, as soon as he came out, the beacon tower outside the city had not time to light the beacon, and the soldiers guarding the beacon tower were killed.
They fought all the way to the outside of the Great Wall, blasted open the city gates with artillery, and slaughtered into Yunzhong County, and only at this time did they alarm the entire defending army.
When Zhang Cheng got the news, his heart was half cold.
The Xianbei people not only used Jiuyuan as a cover to force Pan Feng to divide his troops and leave, but also prepared in the clouds.
As soon as Pan Feng left, they attacked Yunzhong.
"The whole army gathers, retreats to the clouds, and prepares to counterattack."
Zhang Cheng eagerly shouted: "Bring all the artillery up!" ”
Rumble!
The sound of artillery fire, as well as gunfire, rang out inside and outside Yunzhong County.
The shells continued to bombard out, and the Xianbei people who attacked were quickly suppressed and had no way to continue the attack.
Zhang Cheng's command ability is much better than Zhu Wei's.
Deal with the impact and attack of Tuoba Lixiong, but also deal with it freely, suppress Tuoba Lixiong's strong attack, although there are not many defenders, but there are firearms, still able to fight, can continue to defend.
"Someone, go and tell General Pan that there is also an attack in the clouds!"
While organizing a counterattack, Zhang Cheng passed down the order, and shouted: "Mortar, strike the enemy's firearms first......"
Various arrangements for command and dispatch appeared on the castle tower.
The city gate was also quickly blocked to prevent Tuoba Lixiong from violently breaking the city, and the cannonballs on the city tower fell on the Xianbei people from a long distance and exploded.
Tuoba Lixiong's offensive was fierce and numerous.
But as soon as he arrived outside the city of Yunzhong County, he wondered, the main general Pan Feng was gone, how could this deputy general's ability not be much worse than the main general.
He took advantage of the impact of momentum and morale, and was quickly blocked by Zhang Cheng, and was about to let the soldiers bombard him with artillery, but their artillery was knocked out by mortar one after another.
The ammunition exploded, and it killed a lot of its own soldiers.
The muskets they used had a much less effective range than machine guns and rifles.
The offensive was suppressed more and more seriously, and after entering the Great Wall, there was no breakthrough, which made Tuoba Lixiong feel helpless, but thinking of their plan, he could only continue to attack and stalemate with Zhang Cheng.
Even if he can't break through on his side, Tuoba Liwei's side can still do it.
——
Tuoba Liwei launched another strong attack on Jiuyuan County.
Zhu Wei's ability was not enough, he really couldn't hold the city, even if the city gate was blocked, and they had more powerful firearms, they were still broken and had to retreat to the Yellow River.
Pan Feng had just solved those ambushes and was about to rescue Zhu Wei, but when he got the news, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Zhu Wei, that waste, can't defend the city, you can go home and farm.
"Hurry up and save Jiuyuan!"
Pan Feng shouted helplessly.
However, before they could kill them, they got the latest news that Yunzhong was also attacked, but fortunately, Zhang Cheng was able to hold Yunzhong, and the attack of the Xianbei people failed to achieve much results.
"Ignore the clouds for now, and continue to save Zhu Wei."
Pan Feng decided to save the weakest party.
However, at this time, he was a little confused, too anxious, and walked into Tuoba Liwei's second ambush, and was defeated and retreated, making it difficult to advance.
It's hard to move forward, and now it's even more difficult to save Zhu Wei.
went back to save Yunzhong, and felt that Yunzhong didn't need to be saved, Zhang Cheng could hold it.
I was in a dilemma for a while, and I didn't know which side to go.
After thinking about it for a while, Pan Feng decided to change direction and said, "Prepare the raft, let's cross the Yellow River first, and rescue Zhu Wei from the rear, don't face Tuoba Lixiong." ”
His judgment is quite correct.
All those firearms were left in the clouds for Zhang Cheng's defense, and they only took more than thirty rifles with them.
This amount is not enough to compete with Tuoba Lixiong.
In other words, other generals are here, and they can also bring more than 30 rifles and tens of thousands of troops to destroy Tuoba Liwei, but Pan Feng thinks that he does not have this ability.
He still had a certain amount of self-knowledge, changed the method of rescue, crossed the river and crossed the river again, and finally came to Zhu Wei's army.
"General!"
Zhu Wei almost knelt in front of Pan Feng.
Finally waiting for support.
Before Pan Feng could say anything, the war drums outside were beaten, and Tuoba Liwei attacked again, chasing and beating fiercely.
"Defend the whole army!"
Pan Feng shouted: "The artillery is ready, the machine gunner is ready to the trench!" ”
His scheduling is much better than Zhu Wei's.
After the order was passed down, the whole army prepared for a counteroffensive.
When Tuoba Liwei was attacking, he got the news from Yunzhong, and Tuoba Lixiong successfully hit the city of Yunzhong County, but unfortunately the defender had some ability and could not break through.
"Send a message to Mr. Sima."
Tuoba Liwei and they opened up the situation in the northern part of the Hetao, and then they needed Sima Yi, who had a better strategy, to supervise the battle in order to expand the results of the victory.
None of them will continue to break through.
It's just that, seeing the battle situation in front of him, the dispatch of Zhu Wei's army is better than the previous one, Tuoba Li frowned slightly and said: "Could it be that Pan Feng has already joined Zhu Wei by crossing the river?" ”
This kind of defense is not something that Zhu Wei can do.
Then the situation in Jiuyuan may also change, and it really has to wait for Sima Yi to arrive.
