Chapter 25 Confrontation between the Two Armies Section 2 Xiaoxian

One night three days later, Wei Rui took Li Zhong's brave soldiers with him, and Fan Jun quietly rushed to Xiaoxian City, Li Zhong rushed back to the camp two days ago to report to Wei Rui, there were more than 2,000 people in the garrison of Xiaoxian City, the city gate was closed on weekdays, rarely went out, and did not see the grain and grass of the Wei army transported out when he went to investigate. www.biquge.info Wei Rui judged that the grain and grass of the Northern Wei army must still be in Xiaoxian City at this time, and he was relieved and decided to go to investigate it himself. Li Zhong knows his temperament, and he can't stop it.

He hadn't ridden for a long time, and he was a little tired from riding on a horse tonight, he didn't say anything, and Fan Jun, who had been following him closely, had already seen the beads of sweat on his forehead, so he quietly ordered the soldiers to stop.

"General, there are only two miles left in front of Xiaoxian City, don't go forward for the time being, enemy scouts will sometimes suddenly go out of the city, if you face the encounter, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to us. Fan Jun said softly.

"Well, take a break. Wei Rui knew that Fan Jun felt sorry for himself, but he didn't break it, he just shook Fan Jun's palm tightly when he got off the horse to show his gratitude.

Fan Jun just silently handed the water bag to him, and after Wei Rui drank the water, he carefully observed the outside of Xiaoxian City, and he ordered Fan Jun to draw the terrain he was looking at at any time for later use. At this moment, Li Zhong saw that the south gate of Xiaoxian City was wide open, and a team of about hundreds of people rushed out of the city, and he hurriedly reported the matter to Wei Rui.

Wei Rui was overjoyed, and he quickly made a decision and ordered everyone to enter a state of combat readiness. Li Zhong was a little puzzled, but hundreds of people went out of the city, why the general was overjoyed.

"Li Zhong, do you know that there are more than 2,000 people in Xiaoxian City, and they hold on behind closed doors, which is enough to protect themselves, and they will not leave the city without permission for no reason, and those who can boldly leave must be brave people, if they can defeat it, their city will be destroyed. Wei Rui narrowed his eyes, looked at the Northern Wei soldiers who were quietly leaving the city under the hazy moonlight, and said in a low voice.

"Yes...... General, we have less than four hundred people. Li Zhong was worried about the soldiers on his side at this time, and they couldn't resist the impact of the Northern Wei cavalry at all.

"There are not many soldiers, four hundred people are enough. Wei Rui said.

"But general, if you encounter danger, I Li Zhong will not be able to escape the blame for his death. Li Zhong was thinking of Wei Rui's safety at this time, this Pingbei general can't have the slightest mistake, if there is a slight mistake, then his own sin will be great.

"You dare to disobey?" Wei Rui said with a cold face.

"I, Li Zhong, am here to protect the general, I don't care if I fight or not, anyway, for me Li Zhong, the general must return to the barracks intact. Li Zhong has a big account in his heart, in his heart, Wei Rui will always come first, and nothing else is as important as him.

Wei Rui lit up the scepter in his hand: "The court gave me this scepter, not to use it as my ornament, the military law set by Wei Rui is not allowed to be disobeyed by anyone." ”

Li Zhong hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The general is angry, and the last general will obey the order." ”

Wei Rui waved the scepter in his hand: "Order the soldiers, quickly cover the past!"

Li Zhong led these hundreds of people, rushed to the front of the Northern Wei soldiers at a very fast speed, the hundreds of Northern Wei cavalry who had just left the city, did not expect to encounter the enemy soldiers at this time, they resisted to the death in a hurry, and the Liang army at this time, has been as strong as a tiger, coupled with Li Zhong's daily training method is proper, at this time into the enemy's army, such as the momentum of breaking bamboo, the Wei army can not resist at all, one of the generals urgently ordered everyone to retreat into the city, the defenders above the city wall saw the chaos under the city, and could not tell whether it was the enemy or me, and when they were hesitating whether to open the door, the Wei soldiers under the city were already scolding, and the army defending the city had no choice but to put down the drawbridge and let the soldiers who went out of the city return to the city。

Just when the gate of Xiaoxian City was slightly opened, Fan Jun beside Wei Rui suddenly jumped up, quickly ran to the city gate, and inserted the knife in his hand between the two city gates, the Wei soldiers guarding the city were shocked, and stabbed with a spear, Fan Jun's body was blocked on the city gate, and he secretly complained in his heart, at this time it was impossible to avoid the enemy's knife and gun, seeing that the spear was about to stab his body, at this time only heard the sound of a bow and feather, a feather arrow flew over, Wei soldiers fell to the ground in response, and another Wei soldier continued to stab Fan Jun with a spear, only to see several feather arrows break through the air, and all the Wei soldiers around Fan Jun were shot to the ground。

Fan Jun looked back, Wei Rui was carrying an arrow bag, while stepping on the bridge, while shooting Wei soldiers, Fan Jun recalled this situation many years later, no wonder the Northern Wei generals heard Wei Rui's name, that is, called him "Wei Hu". At this time, Wei Rui, like a heavenly general, stood majestically outside the city gate, and after he saw Fan Jun desperately pushing open the city gate, he shouted loudly: "I am Liang Wei Rui, the Northern Wei thief who defends the city, don't surrender quickly!"

The officers and soldiers defending the city heard that it was Wei Rui's name, they were already frightened, they didn't know how many Liang soldiers were behind them, the city was in chaos, Li Zhong led his soldiers, rushed to the city wall, and killed all the officers and soldiers defending the city, and the remaining hundreds of Wei soldiers, seeing that the general trend had gone, had to abandon their weapons and surrender.

The sky is not yet completely bright, Xiaoxian City has reached the hands of Daliang, Wei Rui stood in front of the grain and grass camp tent of the Northern Wei Dynasty, these grain and grass can make his army worry about food and clothing within a month, remembering the scene last night, he still pinched a handful of cold sweat in his hand, if he said that he was completely sure in his heart, he didn't believe it, but for some reason, when Fan Jun stood beside him, there was a sense of peace and calm in his heart, after last night's battle, he was even more convinced that this child was an extraordinary product, and he would become a great weapon in the future.

"General, General Sima Huluo of the Right Army is coming with his troops. Fan Jun galloped over and reported after dismounting.

"Jun'er, ordered him to count the amount of grain and grass and send someone to the army. Wei Rui pointed to the mountains of grain and forage behind him.

"Yes, General. Fan Jun was just about to turn around and leave, but Wei Rui stopped him again, "Order him to go back to Shaoyang to replace Lord Zhao Cao, and ask Lord Zhao to come to see me." ”

"Yes. ”

"Report! General Wei, there is an urgent military situation report. At this moment, the vanguard scout in front of him galloped over.

"Come on. Wei Rui's heart sank.

"Yang Lingyin, the general of Wei, has led reinforcements to within fifty miles. "The scout knew that the speed of this Northern Wei cavalry was extremely fast, and if he didn't come over in time to report it, he was afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable.

"It's so fast, how many people did Hu Luo bring. Wei Rui hurriedly turned his head and asked Li Zhong.

"About 10,000 people. After hearing this, Li Zhong was also worried in his heart, the men and horses brought by Hu Sima could not confront the enemy army at all.

"How many soldiers did Yang Lingyin bring here?"

"I couldn't get close to observe it, but there were about 50,000 or 60,000 of them. The scout said hurriedly.

"General, there are too many enemies, should we withdraw from Xiaoxian first?" Li Zhong beside Wei Rui was a little anxious, how could such a large number of enemy troops, a mere 10,000 people, resist, not to mention that Yang Lingyin was menacing, extremely arrogant, and his strength was invisibly stronger than his own.

"The thief Wei has already arrived under the city, how can our army come to the rescue? The enemy army has attacked the city, how can we ask for reinforcements? And if I ask for reinforcements, the enemy also asks for support, so what is the difference between it and the Shu State reinforcing the White Emperor City back then? 'Shi Ke is in and not in the crowd', this has been the case since ancient times, and we should respond to this battle. Wei Ruijian raised his eyebrows and said loudly.

"But the general ......" Before Li Zhong finished speaking, Wei Rui interrupted him, "No need to say any more, prepare a car and arrows for me." ”

"The last general is willing to fight with the general, and after winning the battle, he will go to Lord Zhao to restore his life, can the general allow it?" Fan Jun bowed and asked.

"Okay, Ling'er is with me today, even if we die in battle, it will not be in vain for our father and son. Wei Rui was overjoyed when he heard this, with Fan Jun by his side, the odds of winning were a few percent more.

"The general will win a big victory. Fan Jun raised his head and said.

"Okay, come with me. Wei Rui stepped into the car, took the bow and arrow in his hand, and motioned for the Liang army to fight. Li Zhong had no choice but to lead the soldiers to follow and go out of the city gate.

"Ling'er, look, this famous Northern Wei general Yang Lingyin led tens of thousands of people, how to repel them?" Wei Rui looked at the dust rolling up not far away, the enemy army was getting closer and closer.

"Our army can send two thousand-man squads to outflank the rear of the Northern Wei reinforcements on the left and right, and send four thousand-man squads to divide the Wei army, and General Li Zhong's brave soldiers are divided into four teams to quickly break the divided Wei army individually. Fan Jun looked at the Wei army who rushed over in a row, and thought for a long time before speaking.

"Good strategy. Wei Rui laughed and said: "With your help, the Wei thief will break it." ”
