Chapter 166: Shen Yu lost three counties in one night
The post house Xu Zhi found was not big, it was originally used by Shen Yu to entertain officials and merchants from all over the world, because the city has now been controlled by the captain's people, the number of people coming and going has suddenly decreased, and the boss has no choice, so he took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and earn some extra money for himself.
Hearing that Xu Zhi was actually from the capital Luoyang, the boss naturally seemed extremely enthusiastic, and without waiting for inquiry, he had already told the truth about the changes here.
Xu Zhi was shocked.
"Are we going to go to the other three counties to find Shen Yu Taishou?" The coachman asked.
Xu Zhi shook his head again and again.
"Such a change, I'm afraid that even King Chitose of Jin didn't expect it, so we can only wait and see what happens to Shen Yu's guy next."
must have been an official for many years, and Xu Zhi's calculations are still much smarter than those of the coachman.
However, there was still one thing that he did not calculate, that is, on the night of the same day, Shangyong City was suddenly besieged by heavy troops.
Outside Shangyong City:
The county guards of the other three counties each led their men and horses to station at the gate on one side, and Shen Yu and Wang Si led the men and horses of Wu County to block the city gate in the direction of Luoyang.
Looking at the people who had surrounded the entire city, Shen Yu felt that there was hope for the recapture of Shangyong City this time.
Under the light of the torches, Shen Yu and Wang Si came to the bottom of the city wall with several shield bearers.
The light of the fires on the city wall was like a group of ghost fires floating in the air in the dark night, reflecting the faces of the soldiers at every battlement into a miserable earthy yellow.
The tension before the war rippled in the city and under the city, and it was quite suffocating.
Suddenly, a feathered arrow flew up in the air, piercing the dark sky with a long whistle, and suddenly left a fiery red arc above the heads of the two, and landed in front of Wang Si's war horse.
A small flaming fireball on the arrow was still making its final struggle on the ground.
"I'm afraid there will be an ambush, and the two generals will retreat quickly." A guard with a shield stood in front of Wang Si and Shen Yu.
As the feather arrows landed, countless archers suddenly appeared on the city, and the dense feather arrows were aimed at Wang Si, Shen Yu and others.
A heavily armored warrior leaned out from the battlement with a long sword in his hand, looking at Wang Si and the others.
"Shen Yu Taishou, do you want to retake this Shangyong City?"
"Who are you, dare to speak to General Ben like this, and quickly call your general Che Lieutenant to come and talk back." Shen Yu shouted.
There was a contemptuous sneer on the samurai's face.
"General Shen Yu is a step late, and I will not be in the city for General Che Wei."
"Do you dare to know that your general Shenyu led people to recapture Shangyong and fled ahead of time, leaving you here to die?" Shen Yu said.
"General Shen Yu is wrong, the person who sent him to death tonight is not a villain, but your former mediocrity." The warrior looked extremely disdainful, "My general Che Wei has long expected that General Shen Yu will mobilize the other three counties to besiege him, and he has sent Chen soldiers outside the three counties before your men and horses arrived. The four cities are about to fall, do the two generals still have to fight the trapped beasts here? ”
As soon as these words came out, Shen Yu and Wang Si were shocked.
"Don't be gullible in what you say, General Shen Yu is only in charge of attacking the city." The shield-wielding guard turned back to Shen Yu and said.
Shen Yu hesitated.
Wang Si became even more anxious.
"If the four cities are lost, we will have no place to stand."
"Shoot the arrows!" The samurai of the castle gave the order.
In an instant, the feathered arrows were like locusts.
Several shield-bearers hurriedly blocked in front of Wang Si and Shen Yu's horses.
The sound of the feather arrow landing on the shield was crisp and loud, as if someone had lit a wooden fire, and the sound of "crackling" pierced Wang Si's ear drums.
"The two generals quickly retreat." A shield-bearer shouted.
Enraged, Wang Si turned his horse's head around his horse, took off his hardwood bow from his back, and turned around to shoot a feathered arrow at the warrior at the head of the city.
The feathered arrow pierced through a dense rain of arrows from the opposite direction, striking one of the samurai's arms.
At the same time, an arrow that had dodged the shield also hit the back of Wang Si's bow-holding hand.
The three-edged armor-piercing arrow pierced through the palm of his hand, shaking the feathers of the arrow's tail, as if to show Wang Si's joy after his success.
Wang Si shook and threw away the hardwood bow.
Fortunately, Shen Yu was quite calm, and at the critical moment, he whipped Wang Si's war horse crotch, and the horse took Wang Si and galloped back to his formation.
Wang Si didn't care about the pain, swung his sword and cut off the shaft of the arrow, took a piece of coarse cloth handed over by a soldier, and hastily bandaged it.
"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time, so follow me back to Wujun as soon as possible, just in case."
As the herald's horses swept through the middle of the procession, all the centaurs immediately turned around and headed in the direction of Wushire.
In the distance, Wang Si heard the shouts of killing from below the head of Wujun City.
"Che Lieutenant, this guy really sent someone to fetch my Wu County." Wang Si shouted, "Pass on my command, you can only rush forward and kill, not make Wujun lose." ”
The flags waved, and the drums of war were like rolling thunder close to the ground, as if they were shouting to every soldier to death.
Although none of Wang Si's horses have experienced the real battlefield, after such a long time of training, their combat power should not be underestimated.
Wang Si stuck his injured hand diagonally under the animal belt around his waist, and brandished his long sword with one hand to rush towards the enemy formation.
Ling Zhan, who was guarding the city, was overjoyed when he saw Wang Si's men and horses returning, and immediately commanded his men and horses to open the city gate and rush out.
There were not many people sent by the captain, and now they were faced with the situation of being attacked on their backs, and after desperately resisting for a while, they began to quickly evacuate.
The battle didn't last long, and Wang Si had already returned to Taishou Mansion when it was getting dark.
"Report." A samurai who hadn't had time to change his armor ran in from outside and reported to Wang Si, who was applying medicine, "According to the spies' report, the Che Lieutenant really sent three teams of men and horses to attack the other three counties of Shangyong. ”
"Che Lieutenant, this guy is really amazing!" Ling Zhan said.
Wang Si sneered.
"If it weren't for General Ling Zhan asking me to help Shen Yu recapture Shangyong City first, how could this result be?"
"The last general is just anxious to clear up the troubles." Ling Zhan argued, thought about it, and suddenly smiled again, "The four counties of Shenyu have all been acquired by the captain, this guy has nowhere to go, and he must bring the remnants of the army to my Wu County." At that time, if we start a war with that Dong Qi, won't we have another chance of winning. ”
Wang Si also felt that Ling Zhan's words were reasonable, but he still had some concerns.
"I'm afraid that Shenyu will have no place to stand, and I will go to Wujun in the future."
"Don't worry, young general, as long as you and I firmly control Shen Yu's family, the last general will dare to guarantee that this guy will not dare to make the slightest move."
Wang Si let out a long breath.
"So far, that's the only way to go."
As soon as the wound was bandaged, the little girl who was in charge of taking care of Wei Qing'er suddenly ran over.
"Miss Qing'er was anxious when she heard that General Wang was injured, and she asked the slave maid to come and inquire about the general's injury."
Wang Si's face immediately showed a smile of relief.
