Chapter Twenty-Eight: Military Situation Section 2 The Destruction of Huaijing City
When Wei Rui received the military report, he was in a hurry, he only cared about supervising the shipbuilding, but he didn't expect the defense problem of Wang Huaijing's construction of the city, so he urgently ordered the military supervisor Pan Linghu to lead 10,000 people to Huaijing City.

"Where is Wei Ling?" he asked the soldier beside him a little anxiously.
"Returning to the general, General Wei led the brave soldiers to the north of Hefei City to reconnoiter the enemy. ”
"Alas...... He wasn't in the camp at such an urgent moment......" Wei Rui stomped his foot.
"General, the last general is willing to go and relieve the siege. Li Zhong asked for help on the side.
"General Pan has led his army to go, and at this moment I have no choice but to defend it. Wei Rui's heart was extremely painful, and at this time he could only look up to the sky and sigh.
When Pan Linghu arrived, Huaijing City in front of the weir was already in a sea of fire, and Wang Huaijing and the hundreds of soldiers fought to the death until the last moment, and the whole army was annihilated.
Pan Linghu looked at the sea of fire, his heart was already painful and angry, after the Northern Wei soldiers who burned Huaijing City set fire to Huaijing City, they were still blocked out of the weir, Pan Linghu rode back and forth, only to find that there were still soldiers on the top of the weir who were resisting stubbornly, he was happy in his heart, and ordered his subordinates to shoot arrows at the front of the Northern Wei Dynasty under the cover of the shield hand.
The defenders on the top of the weir let out a burst of cheers when they saw Pan Linghu's army arrive in time. After half an hour, more than half of the Northern Wei soldiers had to retreat.
Pan Linghu climbed down the rough earth ladder to the top of the weir, and on the top of the weir were the remnants of the army led by Wang Huaijing and the brave soldiers led by Fan Jun.
"General Wei, how did you know that this place is critical?" Pan Linghu was surprised and delighted.
Fan Jun's face was full of sadness at this moment: "General Pan, Wang Huaijing's big man died in battle, Wei Ling was still too late, and he couldn't save Lord Wang." ”
"General Wei's order is to defend the weir to the death, and if this weir does not fall, the beam will not lose. Pan Linghu was also sad in his heart, but he knew that the enemy was at present, and he couldn't shake the army's heart.
Fan Jun tightened his belt and touched the quiver behind him, there were not many feather arrows left in the quiver, and he was a simple night walk a few days ago, and he didn't bring any weapons to take advantage of, and now they have less than 10,000 people to face Xiao Baoyin's tens of thousands of horses, so the fate of the Liang army can be imagined.
Pan Linghu turned his head and saw Fan Jun reaching out to touch the quiver behind him, and hurriedly untied the quiver behind him and handed it to him: "General Wei, mine is for you." ”
Fan Jun was taken aback, and he hurriedly excused himself: "General Pan, you gave it to me, if the enemy attacks......"
"Oh, General Wei, your archery skills are derived from the true biography of General Wei, which I can't compare, if the enemy really wants to storm the weir, I, Pan Linghu, want to see your otherworldly archery skills with my own eyes. Pan Linghu naturally understands that this General Wei in front of him, his archery skills can be said to be on par with Wei Rui, during this period of time with the army, he practiced archery every day, and now there is only his master Wei Rui who can be compared with him in this army.
Fan Jun gratefully took the quiver and carried it behind him, at this time the wolf smoke in Huaijing City had not completely dissipated, and the Wei army, which had retreated because of Wang Huaijing's stubborn resistance, was resting at this time, waiting for General Xiao Baoyin's order to attack again.
Xiao Baoyin put his hand on the pergola, squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the high weir, this weir is extremely strange, why Liang Jun wants to build such a high weir, he is also confused at this time, but today's battle, burning down the city that has just been built, is also his own great achievement. At this time, he was a little hesitant in his heart, should he just retreat? Even if he retreated, it could be regarded as his own meritorious return.
He looked at the Northern Wei soldiers around him, and dispelled the idea just now, after his second brother Xiao Baojuan, the Marquis of Dongdu, was killed by Xiao Yan, he fled to the Northern Wei Dynasty alone, and his brothers who stayed in Daliang were finally eliminated by Xiao Yan one by one, and even Xiao Baorong, who was only fifteen years old, had just been married for less than half a year, and was finally killed by Xiao Yan...... Whenever he thought of these things, Xiao Baoyin hated to immediately enter the palace of Daliang and scrape Xiao Yan alive one by one.
He looked at the big weir in front of him, as long as he attacked one inch forward, he would be one inch closer to Xiao Yan, and his chances of slashing the enemy would be greater. Thinking of this, he waved the long knife in his hand and shouted: "Kill the past, kill all the Liang army, and leave no one behind!"
After the Northern Wei Dynasty rode like the wind to the bottom of the weir, Pan Linghu ordered the archers to shoot thousands of arrows when the enemy's cavalry was close to the shooting range, Xiao Baoyin did not expect that at this time there was a sudden increase in troops above the weir, and he did not expect that there were a number of marksmen, the sharpshooter arrows were not missing, he stretched out his long knife to push away the feather arrows, but the Wei soldiers around him were successively shot from the horse and fell off the horse, he was shocked, there are such magical archery people, there is only Wei Rui in the beam, could it be that Wei Rui personally came to guard the weir? He suddenly had a big mess in his heart, and he didn't know how to command his subordinates for a while, he looked up, the weir was extremely high, and he rushed over with his horse, but he couldn't climb above the weir, just when he didn't know how to advance or retreat, a herald rushed over from behind, and rushed to his front: "General Pan, Du Taishou told you not to continue to fight, we don't know where this weir comes from, please retreat, save your strength as well." ”
"Ah!" Xiao Baoyin shouted angrily, at this time his eyes were full of war horses that had no soldiers and could only run around in the open space, so he had to lead his men to slowly retreat to Hefei City.
Pan Linghu watched Xiao Baoyin's army slowly retreat, leaving dozens of ownerless war horses neighing on the battlefield, he thought of Wang Huaijing, who was fighting and died, and saw this situation, his heart was sad. Now the battle of Daliang is too aggrieved, blindly defending, blindly retreating, dozens of cities in the north, large and small, all fell into the hands of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the emperor Xiao Yan, who got the throne through Zen, only knows that he recites scriptures in Tongtai Temple every day, and builds temples all over the country with the power of the treasury, completely ignoring the life and death of the soldiers who are fighting in the north, I really don't know where his Buddha nature came from.
"Chabu, you take people down and bring those ownerless war horses. Fan Jun, beside him, was softly ordering his men to clean up the battlefield.
"I'm not going!" Chabu's face was blue at this time, he followed Fan Jun to see the scene of the two sides fighting each other again and again, no matter which side won and which side lost, he would be sad in his heart, at this time the Liang army that fell to the ground in Huaijing City made him feel sad in his heart, and the ownerless war horse left by Xiao Baoyin's army that had just collapsed made him even more uncomfortable, those soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty were his relatives, clansmen, how could he withstand all this.
Fan Jun pulled him down the weir, seeing that he was still puffing up, knowing that his situation was the most embarrassing at this time, he regretted it a little at this time, and saved him from the battlefield.
Fan Jun looked at the sky full of black clouds, and after Liangyi, he reached out and grabbed a war horse that was about to run away from his side, and sent the reins of the horse to Chabu's hand: "Get on the horse." ”
Chabu took the reins and didn't understand why Fan Jun wanted him to get on the horse, but he had always listened to Fan Jun's words and turned over on the horse.
Fan Jun looked at his majestic beard and smiled at him: "You go, go to your people." ”
When Chabu heard this, he was suddenly stunned: "But I haven't repaid you for saving your life." ”
Fan Jun shook his head, his handsome face was more heavy and sad: "You don't owe me anything, and you don't need to repay me anything." Since we left today, you and I have been enemies on the battlefield, and we will fight to the death when we meet. ”
"But I, Chabu, am a man of his word, who repays kindness and revenge. Chabu was a little anxious, he wanted to get off the horse, but was stopped by Fan Jun.
"I can't bear to watch you suffer every day...... I've never been a fan of war, Chab, and I hope that one day, our two countries will be on good terms, and you and I will be able to get back together...... Eat meat in large pieces, drink wine in large bowls......" Fan Jun couldn't go on, his eyes were full of tears, and when he turned his head, he couldn't help but shed tears.
"Good...... Good brother, I promise you!" Chabu was bold by nature, and naturally refused to let his tears flow.
"Let's go!" Fan Jun said in a low voice with his back to him.
"Fan Jun, if there is a chance in the future, we will still be brothers!" Chabu said loudly.
Fan Jun didn't turn around, nor did he answer, he didn't know how to answer this Qab, the war between the two countries is far from over, when they can still gather in the capital is still unknown, how can fate be brothers again?
Pan Linghu was furious when he saw Chabu gone, and he got down from the weir and angrily reprimanded Fan Jun: "General Wei, what crime should you be guilty of releasing prisoners of war without permission? Don't you know that it was dealt with by military law?"
"General Pan, please tie me up in front of General Wei, I am willing to accept any punishment. Fan Jun is no longer afraid of anything at this time, he has already died twice, and it doesn't matter if he has one more time.
"Someone, tie him up!" Pan Linghu ordered.
