Chapter 49: Fu Xuan's counterattack

"What a Xun Ji, he really deserves to be the son of Xun You. If the city gate is not recaptured, Cao Zhen does not need to return to the whole army, but only return to the army all the way, and my generation will die without a place to be buried. Tell me how many of you should do it? Fu Xuan said as he put the family heirloom sword behind his back and turned over on his horse.

"What should I do, recapture the city and kill Xun Xun. Although Xun Ji's skills are good, he would never have imagined that we have controlled the entire Yecheng, we have no worries, and the chance of chaos in the city is very small. All we have to do now is get the gates back. While Li Sheng was reorganizing the army, he also jumped on the war horse.

Zhan Hong said on the side: "He only has 5,000 people, half of them are Tuntian soldiers, the combat power is not too strong, plus the strong attack on the capital, with small offenses, the army's morale must be unstable, Xun Ji's family is in Yecheng at this time, has been controlled, we can use it." ”

Fu Xuan nodded: "Okay!" The big husband has made great achievements and is in danger! The prime minister has worked hard for several years, His Majesty has supported the whole country, two generals, and several generals have personally participated in this battle, carefully planned, and cannot be ruined by our carelessness, and cannot be mistaken by you and me! We immediately divide our forces! Lead, our army immediately dispatched to take over Yecheng in an all-round way, and those who dare to go to the street will be killed! Li Wei, you are in charge of the eastern, southern, and northern city gates, from now on, without my orders, even if someone enters and exits under the banner of Lord Shangshuling, I will stop it! Guan Suo, you and I and Shang Shuling went to the West Gate to control the situation. Li Sheng, you go to arrest Xun Ji's family, and come to the West Gate to meet us immediately! ”

Fu Xuan Fu Lanshi was originally a shrewd and capable person, both civil and military, and he had been with Kong Ming for a long time, as if he was another leader of the new generation of Ji Han, and he was thinking carefully. Deal with things decisively, in the blink of an eye, one by one, one by one, the hierarchy is clear, and it is not disturbed by sudden events at all. The four young generals took orders one after another and rode away. The Hubu battalion quickly assembled and besieged the Wei army at the West Gate.

Shang Shu ordered Wei Qi to rush to Xicheng in person, and he drank Ling Xun Ji to answer with him. angrily reprimanded: "The child is unreasonable! You steal away from the front line and attack the capital, this is a felony of rebellion, you surrender immediately, otherwise, you will be killed immediately! ”

Xun Ji faced Wei Qi, did not back down, and shouted: "Wei Qi." You are in Yecheng, doing things in the middle, but you are cut off from the front-line military rations, what is your intention! I have come to capture you on the orders of the general, and I know the elephant. Immediately tie up your hands and send the rations to the front, and then I will protect you in front of the general, and I can still save your life. If you veto, when the general arrives, you will have no place to die! ”

Wei Qi laughed angrily: "You are also a famous minister, do you still have a father and son in your eyes?" Shangshutai is directly under the command of His Majesty, even if he is a general, as long as he does not participate in Shangshutai, he will be under Shangshutai, not to mention that you are a small general in the army! Around. Xun Ji rebelled, you wait to take him down, I forgive you for the crime of besieging the city, if you veto, you will be guilty of the same crime as Xun Ji, and punish the nine clans! ”

Behind Wei Qi, all the Han soldiers shouted in unison: "Zhulian Nine Clans!" The sound was like thunder, which only made the men and horses led by Xun Ji panic for a while.

Fu Xuan and Guan Suo next to them looked at Wei Qi's eyes full of shock and admiration. Obviously, he turned against Cao Wei. But it can still be said so righteously and strictly that it is a rebellion by others, this calm and calm insulting kung fu. It's just the pinnacle of perfection.

His words were enough to make the opponent's 2,000 soldiers and horses lose their combat effectiveness!

Xun Ji was about to refute, but he was suddenly stunned, only to see the array behind Wei Qi, a group of sergeants escorted a large group of people, led by an old woman, with white hair, who was Xun Yu's wife, Xun Jidi's mother.

"Mother!" Xun Ji couldn't help screaming, his eyes red.

Wei Qi said: "Xun Ji, you can be arrested, and you can also keep your family safe, if you insist on rebellion, then, according to the law of Great Wei, your whole family will be killed by you!" ”

Xun Ji had already lost his demeanor as a strategist, and scolded: "Wei Qi, you are a well-dressed beast!" You are clearly a Wei minister, but you are actually a Wei thief, cut off the food on the front line, catch the family of the sergeant, I will not kill you, and I will not be a man! ”

Wei Qi sneered: "You don't want your family to die?" ”

Xun Ji held the long sword in his hand, trembling all over, his face was full of pain, how to say a sentence to his mouth.

Wei Qi shouted: "I count to three, if you don't put down the sword in your hand, your mother's life will be lost in your hands." One-two-"

Xun Ji was sweating profusely, on the one hand, loyalty, on the other hand, filial piety, how did he make this choice?

At this time, a sudden change occurred, and the captured old lady Xun suddenly stood up and shouted: "My son, the eldest husband does things, don't be tired of your family, my mother believes that what you do is right, even if the whole family dies for this, my family has no regrets or complaints!" ”

This greatly surprised everyone, Mrs. Xun actually saw her son "rebel", and supported it instead of dissuading her, which is really different from ordinary old people. Wei Qi couldn't help but look at her strangely. Probably thinking that it was his duty to let the old man in his hand shout such words, the soldier who grabbed her raised his fist and threw it at the old woman. Wei Qian frowned: "Stop." Madam, what is the reason why your son rebelled, and you did not dissuade it, but instigated it? Do you want to be unfaithful too? Do you want to make Gongda (Xun Yu's character) the one who has no descendants? ”

"Phew! Traitor, you say that the people of Yecheng are all blind, can't you see your treacherous schemes? Even if you control Yecheng for a while, what can you do? Although my husband is dead, my son is still alive, and it is easy to get rid of a traitor like you! Son, don't think about your mother, your mother will go first and go to see your father! After that, he gritted his teeth, and a stream of black blood gushed out, and he actually committed suicide by gritting his teeth.

Xun Ji cried: "Mother! ”

Wei Qi saw that the matter had come to this point, and there was no place to maneuver, only to fight hard. He sighed secretly and waved his hand: "Kill them all!" The Xun family is full of rebellion, and the crime is unforgivable. The armies in front listened, who is willing to surrender, kill Xun Wan, be exempted from capital crimes, and be promoted to three levels! ”

Fu Xuan waved his hand, and the soldiers of the Hubu battalion rushed forward and fought with the Wei army. Xun Ji cried and scolded while commanding with tears. Although there were a few wavering people in the Tuntian soldiers, Xun Ji thought in advance that there might be unstable military morale when attacking the capital, and all the departments sent the supervising army, who had the intention of wavering, and the steel knife was cut down first.

Wei Qi killed the Xun family, the purpose was to force Xun Ji's mood to waver. Unable to command, so that the Han army could capture the city gates. This plan really played a certain role, at the beginning Xun Xun was worried about his family, and when his family died, he was greatly injured, inexplicably angry, and his mind was shaken, and he did not guard against the Han army quietly approaching and attacked fiercely. The Ji Han Tiger Foot Camp was personally trained by Kong Ming. The combat power is still above the flying army, which has always been known as a strong force, and it is the only unit that Ji Han can compare with the white-eared elite soldiers. At this time, he was transferred to Yecheng in order to prevent Cao Wei at a critical time and ensure that the army came. They were all shaped like geese, with well-founded advances and retreats, steel knives flashed, and heads were rolling, and the Wei army suffered heavy casualties for a while. Abandon three lines of defense in a row.

But Xun Ji is not an ordinary person after all, he calmed down in an instant, waved the command flag, and the defeated Wei army retreated, relying on the positions built with residential houses since entering the city to attack and defend with the Han army. Xun Ji brought two thousand soldiers of his own. There were 3,000 Tuntian soldiers, and he consciously put them outside, and at the same time strictly ordered them not to retreat for half a step, which was used to consume Ji Han's military strength. At the same time, his own soldiers held various important points, and supported those tuntian soldiers with bows and arrows. Due to the small place, the military force can not be deployed, and the Wei army can attack in the city and under the city, although the Han army is more numerous, but it can not form an advantage in the local battlefield, even if it is a strong combat power with less attack can win, but that takes time. After all, even if the Wei army in front of them was wood, it would take a while to cut them down. Although the Han army continued to advance, the pace of progress was not ideal.

Fu Xuan glanced at Li Sheng, and then at Guan Suo. The two of them were also nervously looking at the battlefield.

"Xun Ji is going to delay time, he is waiting for the Wei army to come." Fu Xuan said.

"Not bad. As long as Xun Xun is killed, the Wei army will disperse without a fight, but if we can't kill him, we will take the current progress. If you want to break through the Wei army's military formation, I am afraid that it will take at least ten hours. Who knows when the Wei army in the back will arrive. It's too dangerous. Li Sheng furrowed his good-looking eyebrows.

"How about I go kill him?" Fu Xuan continued.

"Do you think it's a ring? No matter how good your family heirloom sword is, you can't hurt him if you can't get close. ”

"Not bad. Then I'll find a way to get close to him and kill him! The two of you step up your offense and do whatever it takes to get his attention. On the one hand, the city walls on both sides were attacked in the middle, and on the other hand, the houses were torn down to open a passage so that our army could deploy its forces. And I'm going to find a way to kill him! ”

The battle became more and more tragic, and the strategy of opening the passage was discovered by Xun Ji, and he organized dozens of hard bows and arrows to shoot at the Han army in the demolition area, and the Han army was caught off guard and died under the arrows. The Di Han army, which rushed towards the Wei army from the city wall, was strongly blocked by the Wei army, and the corpses of soldiers on both sides were soon piled up at the head of the city, and the people who shed blood could not stand. Both sides were red-eyed and desperate. The tide of the battle turned in favor of Ji Han, but time was also losing bit by bit.

The Wei army's positions were getting smaller and smaller, and their counterattacks were becoming more and more powerful. Many of Xun Xun's own soldiers were his generals, and when their family members were killed, their only thought was revenge. Even if they can't compare with the elite of the Hubu battalion, they fought hard, disemboweled, broke their stomachs, broke their hands, and broke their legs, they still had to crawl and roll, and they used the only weapons in their hands, even tearing with their hands, biting with their teeth, and tripping with their legs, but they also wanted to kill the Han army, or give their partners the opportunity to kill the Han army.

"Kill! Kill them! ”

"Come on, bunnies!"

The soldiers on both sides had blood-red eyes, and the weapons they held high slashed, split, stabbed, and shot at each other, as if possessed by a demon god, not knowing that they would die, not knowing that they would be in pain, and the only action was to rush forward and kill forward. Without reason, without ideas, since you can't live, drag your opponent to hell together.

The entire west gate of Yecheng was completely stained red with blood. The smell of blood filled the entire city. The advance of the Han army continued, and even the death of the Wei army could not completely stop them.

The sky was getting dark, Xun Ji looked at the high firewood piles piled up on the street in front of him, gritted his teeth, and said decisively: "Ignite the fire!" ”

The fire was lit, and the fire could block the attack of the Han army within an hour or two, but this was not the most important thing, the main thing was that the fire could report to Cao Zhen, and the fire at night could be seen hundreds of miles away, and the reinforcements on the way could speed up to come to the rescue, as long as they guaranteed that the city gate was not closed when the reinforcements arrived, even if all their people were killed, the victory also belonged to the Great Wei Land!

The sky-high flames ignited. Half of the sky was red, and Xun Ji's delicate and gloomy Baipang was red. His eyes shone with a frenzy that was brighter than the firelight, and in the light of the fire, he fluttered like a god. The Wei army, under his command, roared like a madman.

The frontal position of the Han army had broken through to the city gate less than 200 paces, but it was stopped by fire. In this day and age, fire is the most terrible. No one can break through its power. They were red-eyed, but they had no choice but to stir up the huge timber with their weapons, hoping to open a way, but for a while, where could they do it.

At this moment, in the western sky, a long group of soldiers rushed over with torches. It looks like it's in the night. Like a fiery dragon, it's a team of tens of thousands!

Xun Ji almost held his breath for a while, and then he shouted: "Reinforcements! Our reinforcements have arrived! ”

The morale of the Wei army at the head of the city was shocked, and they raised their weapons and shouted. The Han army also found out, and they launched a final desperate assault on the Wei army's position. This time, Guan Suo and Li Sheng personally brandished their weapons into battle, and they charged first, and the Wei army immediately centered on them. Cutting two fronts, they were like two quick knives, rushing up from both sides of the city wall, cutting through the Wei army's ground camp, and rushing in the direction of the city tower, while the Han army under the city also found a way to bypass the fire wall and attack the Wei army.

Xun Ji yelled: "Support, our reinforcements are coming." We won right away! Open the gates and let our reinforcements into the city! ”

Guan Suo at the head of the city seemed to be really anxious, he threw down the big knife, drew his bow and arrows, and by the light of the fire, eighty steps away, Xiang Xun was three arrows in a row. The three arrows shot at the ground like lightning, flashing through the night sky. Straight to Xun Zhi. Xun's pro-soldiers had already taken precautions. They threw themselves forward with shields in their hands, and there was a loud noise. One of the shields suddenly shattered, and the soldiers behind him were also pierced by the sharp arrows, and their bodies were carried up by the huge potential energy of the sharp arrows, and they fell to the ground. But the people next to him didn't even look at it, so they continued to hug Xun Ji and protect Xun Ji tightly. The soldiers in front of him rushed towards Guan Suo, and Guan Suo had to abandon his bow and retreat.

It's too late!

At this time, no one could kill Xun Ji and block the reinforcements outside the city. Only in the blink of an eye, the reinforcements under the city were already shouting loudly, pouring into the city like flowing water, they quickly took over the exhausted Wei army's position, blocking the Han army from the outside, they quickly rushed to the city, put the huge crossbow machine under the high city tower, pointed in all directions, they moved quickly, moved like the wind, only the elite of long-term training could have their strength.

An iron-clad warrior came up to Xun Xun, and a slightly large helmet covered most of his face, making him look a little hideous. In the firelight, his shadow flickered and flickered, and the cold air was overwhelming.

"Your Excellency, you've done a great job!" He bowed and said in a deep voice.

Xun Ji felt relieved at this time, and before he knew it, his whole body was soaked with cold sweat. The powerful attack of the Han army almost made it impossible for him to support. Fortunately, the reinforcements arrived in time, and he could finally let go of the burden on his shoulders and cry bitterly.

He said in an almost pitched voice: "I don't know which general led the team this time, but is Xu Yi here?" ”

The man raised his head slightly, and under the light, his eyes flashed with coldness: "Xu Yi didn't come, but the adults can go." ”

"Go, where are you going?"

"Adults can be reunited with their families!"

"You, you're Ji Han's man!" Xun Ji only felt like falling into an ice cave, he instantly understood, the "reinforcements" in front of him were actually pretended by the Han army, they saw that they could not defeat themselves in the front, and actually led another army out of the city, detoured to the west gate, played more torches, pretended to be a large army to help, they were in Yecheng, among the arsenals, there were a lot of military uniforms, and naturally there were also military uniforms of the Chinese army, which were effortless. Because his family members were all dead, his mind was in turmoil, and he was forced to be in an emergency situation by Li Sheng and the two generals, he didn't think that the reinforcements might be fake! Now they have everything under their control!

For the nine points of the mountain, it fell short! Pity himself for taking the West City Gate, he used the same strategy to calculate himself!

Hate! It's not that they are incompetent, but that the enemy is terrible!

Fighting against such a group of enemies who are as brave as tigers, as cunning as foxes, and as fierce as wolves, can Great Wei still win?

Could it really be the Great Wei of Heaven Annihilation?

Xun Ji straightened his waist and made himself stand like a hero.

"Can I know your name?"

"Ji Han Fu Xuan!" The general had barely finished his sentence when a lightning bolt swept over the west gate of Yecheng. A sword! The earth-shattering sword that slashed Loulan reappeared in the world, but it was the minister who slashed at Cao Wei. Fu Xuan's sword slashed through an indescribably poignant trajectory and landed on Xun Xuan's neck. Xun Ji flew into the air with a human head.

At the same time, the Han army, pretending to be reinforcements, also rushed towards the exhausted and scarred Wei army beside them, and the sword flashed, blood splattered, and screamed again and again. The giant crossbows at the head of the city also roared, retreating to the Wei army that had given up their positions to repair them.

It was a premeditated raid, a one-sided massacre. The defenseless Wei army fell to the ground one after another, dying in the hands of the "robe" beside him.

In just over a moment, there was not a single living Wei army in the city. Guan Suo rushed over with a long knife, in order to attract Xun Ji's attention, he launched the "last" charge of "don't want your life", a bit of a fake came true, and he really had a few injuries on his body. He looked at the level of Xun Xun who was killed by Fu Xuan, and looked up to the sky and shouted: "You actually didn't leave it for me to kill!" ”

Fu Xuan didn't smile: "Now is not the time to joke, Xun Ji's fire will definitely attract Cao Zhen's attention, and it will bring back the main force of the Wei army, things have changed." Originally, we planned to reveal our identities after Cao Wei was completely out of food to undermine their morale. But now it is exposed, before Ji Han's main force arrives in Yecheng, our pressure will be unimaginably great. Immediately clean up the battlefield and deploy to defend the city, tomorrow we will face a defense battle that is a hundred times more tragic than today! Let's do our best! ”
