Da Wei Chun

Chapter 533 Betrayal and Betrayal
The four thousand armored cavalry collapsed, and the life and death of the leading general were unknown...

Such bad news, like a huge boulder weighed on his heart, made Changyi's chest feel heavy and oppressed.

After pondering for a long time, he hissed: "Yuanming, take my order to find Fuluo, and ask him to send two battalions of armored cavalry, and one cavalry as scouts to explore westward. The other battalion gathers up the routs along the way... Remember, Jin ordered the soldiers to keep silent and keep secret, so as not to disturb the morale of the army..."

"promise!"

Pei Sui responded solemnly, and was about to go downstairs to give Fu Luo an order, when another urgent call came from a distance.

Just like before, the two turned their heads suddenly, and saw several horses galloping from the rear camp.

Still the same as before, the riders were all Hu and Han, and they should be the defeated army after meeting Li Chengzhi.But this time there are twenty or thirty riders, and they are holding a "cheng" flag first to last?
Sung Kyung Joon is not dead?
Chang Yizhi felt a little better: "Come up..."

Between the orders to the left and right, dozens of riders rushed to the bottom of the watchtower, Cheng Jingjun was an example.

But it seemed that he was injured, and he couldn't even stand still.The soldiers downstairs quickly carried him up to the watchtower, took a closer look, and Pei Sui was shocked: as if he had been buried in a coal kiln and smoked, Cheng Jingjun was black from head to toe.

The fish-scale armor on his body, which was originally as bright as a mirror, now seemed to be covered with a layer of dust, and its color faded.

What's even more frightening is that there are several fish-eye-sized, shining beads embedded in it, which seem to be cast from fine steel.

Looking up, Cheng Jingjun's left face is already bloody and bloody, and it is more swollen and fuller than the breasts of the women who acted as soldiers in the Jiankang Palace...

The pain should be unbearable, and Cheng Jingjun's voice was trembling: "The last general... deserves death, please punish him!"

Chang Yizhi didn't ask him to excuse him, but squatted down in front of Cheng Jingjun, and looked at him carefully for a while.

Looking at the wound on Cheng Jingjun's face, he stretched out his hand and scratched hard on the nail leaf.But the beads are embedded so tightly that it is impossible to pick them out with only fingers.Chang Yizhi pulled out the short blade under his waist, and finally pried out one.

It should be caused by the impact, the beads have been slightly deformed, but the hand is still round, and it has not been damaged by the impact.

Looking at Jing Jun's steel armor again, although it didn't penetrate directly, both armor leaves were hit with a small hole.

Pei Sui took a sharp breath: If it weren't for the two layers of nail leaves, this bead would have penetrated into Cheng Jingjun's belly long ago.This place is where the organs are, no matter which part is injured by this bead, Cheng Jingjun will not be killed.

"The steel ball and the wound on your face must be caused by Tianlei?"

"County son (Pei Sui noble title county son)...Ming Jian..."

Cheng Jingjun gritted his teeth tightly, and tried hard to recall the scene at that time: "When the last general led his cavalry to the Wei army camp, it was already dawn and his eyes could see.

At that time, the last general thought that Wei Jun would close the gate of the village and shoot all arrows.Or you can ride against you, but when you get closer to the village, you see a cannon array..."

Changyi's suspicious voice interrupted: "What does the cannon look like?"

"When it was not launched, it was only six or seven feet high, and its shape was like a cannon cart many times smaller: square and square, shaped like a door, with a beam (lever) on the top, and wheels under its feet...

Therefore, I will guess at the end that it should be a cannon car.But for some reason, there is no need for horses to pull it, and only seven or eight soldiers under each cart are in charge..."

Chang Yizhi and Pei Sui looked at each other and had the same thought in their hearts: It really is Lei!

Fu Luo and Yuan Li both talked about it yesterday, saying that the Wei army's cannon carriages are very easy to handle, and only a large stone is attached to the tail, which can save cattle and horses.And the range is extremely far, up to a hundred steps away...

"At the end of the time, the general thought that the cannon carriage was inconvenient to handle. After it threw a round, the cavalry had already rushed into the formation. Moreover, the cannon carriage is so small and the formation is so sparse, it will not cause too many casualties. Therefore, the final order will be issued. , except for the cavalry that peeped at the enemy, the rest of the people followed me into the battle...

But at fifty or sixty paces away, when he heard a whistle in the enemy's formation, the final general only felt the golden sun (sun) rushing towards his eyes, and then fell unconscious...

According to the words of the personal guard next to me afterwards: At that time, an object was thrown by the enemy's artillery vehicle, and it exploded right in front of my eyes.Just like thunder and lightning, it is fleeting, and then the last general seems to be hit by a hammer, and he falls on his back.

Fortunately, the last general had all the armor and only suffered a few minor injuries.But the mount was like a water sac that had been pierced with more than a dozen guns, and immediately blood flowed like a column, spurting wildly...

Those who were struck by lightning were like this, and those who were lucky enough to not be injured also fell to the ground because of the shock of the horse, or were carried away by the shock of the horse... and in just a few breaths, our cavalry formation was completely defeated...

Wei Shuai should have expected this season a long time ago, and gave a battalion of tiger cavalry to the left and right of the artillery formation, and waited for me to cover up and kill them after the formation collapsed.In a hurry, there are not one out of ten survivors of our army in this battle..."

One out of ten?

It was just a face-to-face meeting, and he was so completely defeated?
The flesh on Pei Sui's face kept twitching, Chang Yizhi was quite calm, but his face was gloomy.

"This defeat is not due to the war, what is your fault?"

He comforted in a gentle voice, and patted Cheng Jingjun's shoulder again, "If you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings. Rest well, and after your injury recovers, it will not be too late to take revenge with this old man..."

Just this one sentence brought tears to Cheng Jingjun's eyes, wishing to repay Changyi's trust and gratitude.

He kowtowed heavily: "The kindness of the county marquis will never be forgotten!"

Chang Yizhi smiled slightly and waved his hands: "Go down!"

Ziyou took Cheng Jingjun's arms and went downstairs, and as soon as he left the cloud car, Pei Sui couldn't wait to ask: "So, how should we fight this battle?"

"It's over, what's the use of panic?"

Chang Yizhi exhaled slowly, his eyes were firm and focused, "You only wonder about the benefits of this thing, so you are worried. But why can't you calm down and think about how to restrain this thing?"

Even the armor leaf of the heavy armor with two layers of fish scales is almost penetrated, how can it be overcome?

"Think about Jing Jun's words: even though this thing is miraculous, it still cannot escape common sense. It does not come with wings, but needs to be thrown by a cannon cart to cast far... Therefore, the Wei army is marching like the wind, waiting to catch up tonight As far as Siyin is concerned, it is necessary to set up artillery carts before launching...so at least today there is no danger, and the whole army can use all means to attack the city..."

Pei Sui said anxiously: "That's the case, what about tomorrow?"

No matter how small Qianyuan City is, the height of the city is nearly three feet.Moreover, Li Shao holds an army of tens of thousands, not to mention one day, even ten days and a half months, I am afraid that he will not be able to attack...

"Tomorrow? Hehe... Li Shao can retreat overnight, why can't I, Changyi, retreat? If the attack fails until nightfall, the whole army will retreat to the south bank and dig the river again..."

Chang Yizhi suddenly sneered, "I don't believe that Li Chengzhi's thunder can even blow up the Qianhe River, which is tens of feet long, and dry it up?"

Pei Sui breathed a sigh of relief.

The matter has come to this point, and if we only count on it for now, we can only settle for the next best thing.

At least after returning to the south bank, the coalition forces can advance and attack, retreat and defend.When Li Chengzhi suddenly heard that the Southern Army and Hu Qi were raging in Guanzhong, it would not be too late to see how he responded.

If Li Chengzhi responded properly and the Yuan and Wei courts responded in a timely manner, it doesn't matter if they didn't plan for Guanzhong, and if they want to ask the emperor (Xiao Yan) for details, they won't blame them.

Just like what Changyi said to comfort Cheng Jingjun: With such a sharp weapon, even if you lose, it is not a fault of the battle.

Now Lan Ziyun has led tens of thousands of partial troops to the east, even though the counties and counties in Guanzhong have strong cities to defend, but it should be safe for tens of thousands of troops to conquer one or two.Then grab a few Wubao, family villages, etc., and plunder some people and livestock, which can be regarded as an explanation to the court and the emperor.

If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter if you don't grab the dingkou, the cattle and the horses.Even if there were [-] to [-] casualties, the emperor would never blame him given his trust in the county magistrate (Chang Yizhi).

I'm afraid that Changyi's heart will be arrogant and arrogant, and he will go his own way, vowing to compete with the unknown and unknown Li Chengzhi.

I also saw a ghost, such a person who appeared out of nowhere, like a star descending from heaven, suddenly heard in the world?

Just as he was feeling emotional, he heard Changyi's order: "Order Yuanli, and call the people to dig the soil and fill the river as soon as possible... If my Chinese army crashes and the Yunlou can't get close to the city by noon, don't blame the old man for asking his crimes." !"

"promise!"

The soldiers left on horseback, Pei Sui looked at Liyuan County dozens of feet away, secretly suspicious.

I don't know what this Yuan Li thinks, she is clearly under the care of others, but she doesn't have the slightest self-knowledge, and she still thinks that she is the arrogant and domineering King of Jiyin?

The magistrate is not targeting you, who is targeting?
……

This time the war started in a hurry, where did the civilian husband come from?
They were all soldiers from several counties in the south of the Qinling Mountains, such as Qianyuan and Chencang. After the incident, Yuan Li recruited strong soldiers from several counties.

Yuan Li didn't care anymore, she just had a gloomy face, and kept ordering her subordinates to drive the peasants to dig and fill the river.

It is overcast and watery, and the moat is already extremely wide.After Li Shao led the army to come, fearing that the soldiers would be idle and cause trouble, he ordered each battalion to dig the river in turn, and dug the river ditch nearly ten feet deep and four feet wide.Afterwards, it was filled with water from the Si River.

Therefore, even if Qianyin is an empty city, it will take time for Yuanli's more than ten thousand civilian husbands to fill it up.What's more, there are tens of thousands of strong soldiers stationed in the city?

The soldiers on the city are densely packed, like ants digging their nests, and people's heads can be seen everywhere.

The river is four feet wide, and it is five or six feet away from the city, so the total is only ten feet or so.Furthermore, it is located at a high place, so it is extremely beneficial for soldiers to shoot arrows.Therefore, the civilian husband was still tens of feet away from the river, and the densely packed arrows came like rain.

Yuan Li is already a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, it seems that more than [-] people have died and injured, and whether the city of Siyin County is destroyed or not has nothing to do with him.

But Yu Zhong couldn't be indifferent, so he was well prepared.At least Minfu, who was in charge of filling the river, had a wooden shield in his hand.

The radius is about two feet, and the shield is about two inches thick.When the peasants approached the city with soil baskets on their backs, they would put them on top of their heads.

At the beginning, it was extremely effective. Sixty-seven out of ten arrows shot directly from the top of the city would be blocked by the wooden shield, and only a few of them would penetrate the wooden shield, or pass through the gap between the civilians, and hit the chest, abdomen or limbs.

However, there were not many casualties, and no widespread panic was caused.Under the intimidation of the law enforcement team, the civilian husband was still running back and forth.

After he filled the soil a few times, the defenders on the city switched to armor-piercing heavy arrows, changing from direct shooting to throwing.

If this kind of arrow is thrown, it can penetrate even a thinner iron helmet, let alone a wooden board?
As a result, the number of casualties gradually increased, the wailing in the city grew louder, more and more dead bodies were blocked on the way, and even many peasants would pretend to be hit by arrows in the middle of transporting soil, screaming and killing their heads. Fell down, then pulled a dead body over him.

After fighting for half his life, he is old enough to fight, how can he not see this trick?
Yu Zhong immediately ordered the law-supervising team to order some civilians to carry the corpse instead of carrying the soil. Five or six people formed a group. Three people held up the shield to protect the front, and three carried the corpse to protect the roof, and threw it into the moat.

The civilian husband was very surprised: Although the arrow can shoot through the wooden shield, it can't shoot through the dead body?

For a while, the speed of filling the river was much faster.And the civilian husband who lay down under the corpse and pretended to be dead naturally did not dare to hide anymore.

But there were fewer and fewer corpses, and within a moment or two, the speed obviously slowed down.

Yuan Li slammed her fist heavily on the saddle, her face full of anger: "This old thief Chang Yizhi is clearly trying to embarrass you: knowing that this city is difficult to break, and knowing that Li Chengzhi will definitely come to Qianyin as promised , the army had no choice but to retreat temporarily. Why did he ask me to attack the city with all our strength and cause more casualties?"

"It's up to man, what if it breaks? So it's a test, and we have to try. We can't let tens of thousands of troops stand in front of the city and do nothing, right?"

Yu Zhong's face was stern and his eyes were serious, "Furthermore, if Changyi doesn't attack the city, Li Chengzhi must suspect that this is a strategy of attacking east and west or doubting soldiers. He sees that since Qin Yin is safe, if he doesn't return to help, he will rush to the city. In the east, isn't it dangerous for Changyi to send his partial teachers to the various counties?"

Not to mention it's okay, when mentioning being handsome, Yuan Li's eyes are full of anger.

"Yu Sixian, you and I brazenly raised our troops just to help the Dao Yi and the Murong Hu thieves grab some Dingkou, cattle and horses? Even so, it's not as straightforward as when you and I raised our troops to join Nanliang. Yuan Huai ran from east to west, from north to south, and put all his energy and thought into gathering hundreds of thousands of coalition troops here?"

Yu Zhong was speechless, and sighed sadly: "The situation is taking a turn for the worse, even if we change you and me for Changyi, what can we do? We can only avoid the edge temporarily, and take it slowly..."

Picture your aunt, pretend I don't see Chang Yizhi's plan?

He can retreat to the south bank of the river tonight, and he can retreat to Chencang tomorrow night.If Li Chengzhi presses on every step of the way, do you think he will not retreat again and again, retreating into the Qinling Mountains, or even retreating into Hanzhong?
At that time, you and I will have no soldiers and no land, so we can only throw ourselves into the beam alone.

If you are lucky, you can still be an idle guest, and spend the rest of your life.If you are unlucky, you may be given a glass of poisoned wine one day.

Could it be that I, Yuan Li, rebelled because I thought my life was long?
Insufficient uprights and conspiracy...

"Wang Changyi is praised by the southerners as a famous general in the world, as if he is rare in the sky and unparalleled in the earth? It's just like that..."

Yuan Li cursed and went downstairs.

Yu Zhong asked anxiously, "Where are you going?"

"Where else can I go? Naturally, I would call some strong archers and take the ladder to shoot at the city guards... If you don't suppress them for a while, I'm afraid the river will not be filled even at night..."

Yu Zhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that as long as Yuan Li didn't become angry from embarrassment, he would go to confront Changyi.

After making up her mind, Yuan Li shouted angrily again: "Take my magic arm and bow!"

The relatives understood it, and quickly handed Yuan Li's big bow and a pot of arrows.

Yuan Li peeped out and saw that there were blunt arrows in the pot, and the arrow shafts were all wrapped with silk with words written all over them, she felt a little more at ease.

So what if you rebel and rebel?
Better than dying...
