Chapter 188: The Battle of Retreat
Zhang Xiu saw Chen Yan, naturally it was the same surprise, I saw that his already fair face became even fairer because of the bitter fight against Yan Xing, at this time, when he saw Chen Yan, he immediately became rosy, and shouted: "Brother Lord, go quickly!" The guy here is Yan Xing! ”
When Chen Yan heard Yan Xing's name, his heart brightened, and he finally knew why this Xiliang cavalry was so difficult to fight, it turned out that Yan Xing was personally in charge, which showed that this fierce man really deserved his reputation.
Everyone joined forces in one place, and they were unified by Chen Yan. Chen Yan gave an order, and the three armies withdrew in the direction of Chang'an. After all, at this time, all the brothers in Dingyuan Stone City were rescued, although it was said that the siege of Dingyuan Stone City was not resolved, but at least there was no loss of generals, and it was worth it.
Chen Yan took the lead, looking back as he ran, only to see smoke and dust billowing behind him, which showed that Yan Xing did not give up on Chen Yan easily.
Wang Yue rode his horse and followed Chen Yan to the side, and said coldly: "If your troops are not so weak, you will slaughter Yan Xing just now." ”
Chen Yan rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Don't say anything earlier, what kind of afterthought do you put now, you can't kill Yan Xing, it has something to do with my weak army!" ”
Wang Yue said: "You have these troops, even Yan Xing's subordinates can't bear it, I think I haven't had time to kill Yan Xing, and you have already been wiped out." ”
Chen Yan sighed and said: "Xiliang's group of beasts are strong and strong, we are not their opponents on the plain after all, don't you say?" ”
Wang Yue nodded and didn't speak, which showed that what Chen Yan said was an ironclad fact.
After a while, Chen Yan finally struggled to run out of the plain east of Dingyuan Shicheng, Chen Yan turned his head to look back, only to see that the tail of his team had begun to scatter, and it could be seen that Yan Xing's cavalry had caught up with Chen Yan's troops and began to slaughter.
I saw that the enemy army behind Chen Yan was all in black clothes and black armor, holding high the banners of the words "Han", "Xiliang" and "Yan", showing off their might, and they were very majestic, Chen Yan was angry in his heart, but he was powerless and helpless, Chen Yan gritted his teeth, and he couldn't wait to turn around and go back and fight with them.
Xu Huang could see Chen Yan's anger, and persuaded repeatedly: "That's it, lord, this Xiliang cavalry is too sharp, let's avoid it for the time being, sooner or later there will be time for revenge." ”
Chen Yan saw that Xu Huang was quite reasonable, so he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, I want to see how long this group of beasts can be majestic." ”
Thinking of this, Chen Yan suppressed his anger and continued to run with the team, and it didn't take long for Chang'an to be close at hand.
But this Chang'an arrived in a blink of an eye, but Yan Xing was still following him, biting Chen Yan's army like a mad dog. Chen Yan reviewed frequently, the more he looked at it, the more anxious he became, how could Chen Yan dare to make the soldiers of Chang'an open the city gate?
This breakthrough battle gradually turned into a big rout, and Chen Yan, as the commander of the first army, felt even more inexplicably uncomfortable. After all, since Chen Yan's debut, although he has not tasted defeat, he has really not suffered such a large-scale defeat. Now that he encountered this situation, Chen Yan's heart jumped straight up, and he was indescribably nervous.
Seeing that he was about to approach Chang'an City, Chen Yan raised his eyes and looked over, and suddenly saw a few familiar big things on the Chang'an city wall.
"What's that?" Chen Yan frowned, very puzzled.
At this moment, suddenly a crisp shout from the city tower said: "Catapult, release!" ”
Hearing only a few "whirring" sounds, the big thing on the tower of the city gate suddenly projected a boulder and attacked the Xiliang cavalry behind Chen Yan's army!
This catapult is condescending, and its range and power are exponentially increased. The boulder thrown by the catapult made a beautiful curve in the sky like a meteor, and then smashed into the enemy camp.
The boulder fell, and dozens of cavalrymen immediately turned into pulp! For a while, Yan Xing's army was in chaos, as if it had fallen into hell in an instant.
Chen Yan was overjoyed in his heart, and when he looked back, he saw that Yan Xing's army had suffered the impact of dozens of boulders, and there were at least more than 100 casualties......
Yan Xing was still wielding a spear in front at this time, but he didn't expect to suddenly encounter such a change. Where had he seen a catapult, he saw huge stones flying down from the tower of Chang'an City, like a meteor shower......
Yan Xing's heart was shocked, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Withdraw the troops!" Withdraw your troops! ”
It's a pity that although the withdrawal of the army was too late at this time, the casualties had already been caused, and Yan Xing's good situation came to naught in an instant.
Yan Xing was furious and shouted loudly: "Chen Yan! Good for you! I want you to pay for it with blood! ”
Chen Yanze, Huang Zhong, Xu Huang and others watched the Xiliang cavalry gradually retreat, and they were indescribably happy in their hearts.
Looking back, I saw that above the tower of Chang'an City, Guo Jia was wearing a green shirt, standing on a catapult in the center, holding a pergola in his hand, looking at Yan Marching in the distance, and showing a confident smile.
The wind blew Guo Jia's dark sideburns, flying wantonly, indescribably good-looking......
Chen Yan could naturally see it, and shouted loudly: "Fengxiao, do a good job!" ”
Guo Jiabao smiled and did not reply. Because Guo Jia has no internal strength, and his voice is not loud, even if he says Chen Yan, he can't hear it. Besides, on this windy day, if Guo Jia shouts hard, I'm afraid he will cough again......
……
Chen Yan and his entourage were scattered and defeated generals, but they also arrived in Chang'an safely. As soon as he entered Chang'an, Chen Yan saw a small yellow gate (official name, usually a eunuch, responsible for delivering messages to the emperor) standing at the city gate, and said to Chen Yan in a feminine voice: "Present the Yu, Zhao Yu Lin Zhonglang will enter Chen Yan into the pilgrimage." ”
Chen Yan frowned, and thought: "This little emperor has quite an idea, I just lost the battle, and he came to let me accept criticism, alas, oops, what a headache." ”
It's a pity that although the emperor is young, he can't help but listen, Chen Yan had no choice but to place the military horses first, then change his clothes, and rush towards the palace in the dust.
The little emperor was pacing in front of Weiyang Palace at this time, and when he saw Chen Yan at this time, he stepped forward quickly and trotted with the Manchu ministers to follow.
The little emperor smiled slightly and said, "Brother Daoist, are you back?" I heard that I lost the battle, but I was injured? ”
Chen Yan really had a lot of injuries on his body at this time, but they were all flesh wounds, Chen Yan hurriedly shook his head and knelt down and said: "Thank you, Lord Longen, thanks to the majesty and protection of the Holy Lord, the last general was not injured." ”
The little emperor was even more happy when he heard this, and said: "This is very good, but now that Xiliang is rebellious, can the Taoist brother have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" ”
Chen Yan was shocked when he heard this, and said in his heart: "I also said that this emperor is young, but I didn't expect this little guy to have quite an idea, and he wants to discuss national affairs with me!" ”
