Northern Dynasties

Chapter 414 Killing the Old Enemy
Outside Yubi City, after a day of fighting, all the armies returned to their camps, and the curtains that the defenders had set up on various parts of the city wall were also rolled back into the city.

In the big tent, the generals took turns to report the results of today's battle carefully, but the so-called results of the battle were so lacking, they even brought out a few feet of curtains that had been burned by the defenders.

Gao Huan, the king of Bohai sitting at the top, heard these unnutritious and unsatisfactory performances. There was no obvious expression of joy or anger on his face. Ze said in a deep voice: "In ancient times, there has never been an isolated city that can be defended for a long time. It has been more than a month since the siege of the city. The black otter dare not send a single soldier to the east to help. It shows that the western thieves are weak.

The former wanted to encircle this area and lure the western thieves to fight, so all the schemes have not been used deeply, and I am afraid that they will lose this bait.But now the western thieves are showing their timidity, and they need to attack the city and then cross the river to destroy it.How is the mere small town of Yubi compared to the old city of Ye?Back then, when the power was not as good as it is now, I could pull out Yecheng, let alone this mere city! "

All the people present are veterans of the army, and they naturally understand that whether a city can hold its ground has nothing to do with its size, and the geographical advantages of Yubi City are far from comparable to that of Ye City, but Gao Wang did not pursue the generals who fought Unfavorable, but to boost morale, they all cheered up quickly, saying that when they continue to fight in the future, they will definitely order their troops to work harder.

After all the generals withdrew, Gao Huan suddenly thumped the case and shouted angrily: "When the city is destroyed, the city will be destroyed! Fenshui is not red, and this hatred cannot be eliminated!"

He had high hopes for this battle, and in his prediction, even if he couldn't solve the West Thief once and for all, he would have to break into Guanzhong and greatly dampen the West Thief's vitality.But he didn't expect that after several years of gaining momentum, this time he went south but was blocked by this Jade City for more than a month and could not make an inch. His heart was full of hatred for Wei Xiaokuan and the soldiers and civilians in Yubi City.

However, there was more than one headache that caused him that night. Not long after, Zhao Yanshen, a subordinate officer who accompanied the army in charge of the secret military aircraft, hurriedly entered the account, and handed a letter to Gao Huan's desk with a serious expression.

After Gao Huan took the letter and browsed it for a while, his face suddenly changed, and he asked in a surprised voice: "Didn't you say that the Buluoji thief is in the cities of Koufen Prefecture? Why is Jinyang City also being invaded? Even Jinyang Palace... "

Zhao Yanshen naturally has no way of answering these questions. All he knows is the situation reported by Jinyang staying behind, and based on his own judgment, he said: "From what I see, the most important thing to pay attention to right now is not the immigrant thieves, but Jinyang. Zhucheng has been disturbed, and it is necessary to quickly return to help to maintain the stability of the public, so as to prevent the situation from turning worse..."

After Gao Huan heard this, he frowned again. He knew that Zhao Yanshen was really admonishing him to change his thinking and attitude. Before that, he was all focused on attacking Yubi City, and all other things were left behind.They didn't even care about the fact that Lishi Huzhong made a comeback so quickly and invaded Fenzhou, and the Jinyang chaos was no different from a wake-up call, and they should stop and consider carefully.

Although he was aware of it rationally, Gao Huan subconsciously avoided thinking about it, and said bitterly: "These two disciples have been fighting for a long time, and they are still so careless and vigilant! The teacher is outside, and I must ask the front of the table, why did the rogues easily succeed?"

Although these words were reprimanding She Diqian and Gao Yue, the two left behind, they still referred to Jinyang's troubles as rogues, obviously because they didn't want to give up the war here and return to the teacher in despair.

Zhao Yanshen understood that if he continued to persuade, it would have no effect, so he added: "But Jinyang's troops are barely defending themselves, and the attack is even more insufficient. If no reinforcements are made to remedy the situation, the bandits will continue to spread their poison!"

Gao Huan didn't dare to neglect the safety of Jinyang. After pondering for a while, he asked again: "Who knows how many people have passed through this letter? Those who know the matter will be detained for now, and they are not allowed to spread the matter without authorization." .”

Now that the war is not going smoothly and people's hearts are fluctuating, if he knows that Jinyang has been harassed by bandits, Gao Huan knows without thinking that the generals will definitely take the opportunity to persuade him to return to Jinyang, so that this war will end anticlimactic.This was something he would never allow to happen, Dang even decided to hide the matter for the time being.

Then he opened his mouth and ordered: "Hurry up and let Liu Fengsheng, the general of the left guard, come in."

Not long after, Liu Feng, who stayed on his own, hurried to the big tent of the Chinese army. Gao Huan signaled him to take a seat quickly after a brief greeting, and then Gao Huan passed the letter from Jinyang to Liu Feng.

After reading it, Liu Feng's face also changed abruptly, and he immediately avoided the table and said: "What do you want to tell the king, I will go immediately!"

Seeing Liu Feng's statement, Gao Huan also nodded in satisfaction.Of course Jinyang City needs to be rescued, but if you choose other generals to go there, such as those generals from the six towns, each has many relatives and friends in the army, it is absolutely difficult to keep secrets.

At the same time, in order to ensure that the morale of the army does not waver, he can't directly send too many troops to leave the front line and return to the reinforcements. Then the generals who lead the troops to the rescue must have outstanding military talents, not mediocre people who can only rely on numbers.

Among the generals under the tent several times, only Liu Feng perfectly met these two conditions, so Gao Huan immediately ordered Liu Feng to be brought in.Seeing that Liu Feng also understood his thoughts and intentions at this time, he said in a deep voice: "The army is in this situation. If you know that Jinyang is in danger, the army will be unstable, retreat hastily, and the army will be even worse. We must advance Elite soldiers and famous generals will settle the situation, and the family affairs will be paid to the general.”

When Liu Feng heard this, he was even more excited. He dropped his head to the ground repeatedly and said loudly: "Your Majesty trusts you so much, and I will repay you with death!"

Gao Huan was more assured of Liu Feng's character and ability.Without further ado, in order to deceive others, he ordered Liu Feng to lead some of his men and horses, and he allocated a group of Bafu personal guards totaling 3000 horses. Jinyang City.

Liu Feng was entrusted by Gao Wang, so he dared not neglect. He led the team to travel day and night without stopping all the way. In the evening of the next day, he had already traveled more than half of the distance, and arrived at Wenhu Lake in Fenzhou after crossing a distance of five or six hundred miles. side.

Wenhu Lake is a lake with a radius of more than [-] miles on the west bank of Fenshui River. After running for a day and night, even Liu Feng's men and horses are all elite, they are already exhausted and need to rest and eat.

Liu Feng's general even suggested that he should go to the nearby Lingzhou City to rest for the night, and visit home by the way.A few days ago, the news of Jihu's invasion of Liubi City had already been sent to the Yubi camp, and the officials of Lingzhou City were placed in this environment, so Liu Feng's generals were also very worried about their family's safety.

But Liu Feng shook his head and refused after thinking about it. Gao Wang trusted him so much, and Jinyang's crisis has not yet been resolved.

If you don't go to Lingzhou City, there are not many places nearby that can supply 3000 troops. Liu Feng can only order the soldiers to endure hunger and thirst for a while, and continue northward around the west bank of Wenhu Lake. There is also a soldier in the northwest of Wenhu Lake. The city is called Zhucheng, and its scale is large enough to accommodate a large group of people to rest.

Not long after, the outline of the city of Zhucheng was vaguely visible, but the scouts sent by Liu Feng to send the message in advance rode back in a panic and reported that the city of Zhucheng seemed to have fallen. As far as the army is concerned, the size of the camp is at least tens of thousands.

Liu Feng couldn't help gasping after hearing this, and he rode his horse in to inspect it himself.

This group of people is obviously not the army of the middle country, but it appeared in this environment. It may be the bandit army who invaded Jinyang, or the Jihu who attacked Liubi City, but no matter which one it is, it is absolutely nothing. Good situation.

But in addition to being shocked, Liu Feng also noticed that it was not too long before this group of troops should arrive, and the city wall of Zhucheng was still obviously damaged, which should be the traces left by the battle that had not been repaired in time.

As for the camps outside the city, it is even more obvious. Even the fences and camp walls have not been set up yet, so many camps are directly exposed, and people and horses in the camp can be directly seen walking around.

At this time, the enemy in the camp also found Liu Feng and his party, and all the people stationed in the camp went to the city one after another, while hundreds of knights rushed out of the city, intending to expel Liu Feng and his party.But when they rushed out and had an unobstructed view, they also saw thousands of cavalry coming from behind besides Liu Feng's scouts, and immediately retreated back in a hurry.

Liu Feng saw that the reaction of these people was not like a well-trained elite force, but like a group of mobs who took advantage of the situation and gathered together, so he ordered his troops to form a battle formation, and while rushing to the opposite side, he separated into two The road scouts searched to the north and west, hoping to search for the local troops and strongholds in the area.

He took the lead in attacking the chaotic camp in the north of Zhucheng City. As the team charged, the already panicked camp suddenly became more chaotic, and many soldiers fled to Wenhu in the rear in a panic.

Seeing that the enemy was so panic-stricken, the cavalrymen of the Eastern Wei Dynasty who had rushed into the camp were immediately overjoyed, and charged even more recklessly.

Liu Feng felt that something was wrong, and felt that the opponent's performance seemed too unbearable. Zhucheng also had a considerable number of defenders and city defenses. If the fighting power of the bandit army is so low, how can they capture this city?
He hadn't made up his mind here, and there was a sudden chaos of many people turning their backs on their backs in the camp ahead. It turned out that the camps that had been set up were just to hide people's eyes and ears. Uncle had a layer of curtains, but underneath was a trap that was half a foot deep, and the enemy troops who had withdrawn from the camp were not They really fled to the lake, but boarded a floating row of boats made up of many boats, and then formed a battle formation with a strong bow to shoot those cavalry who rushed into the camp because they underestimated the enemy.

Liu Feng was ordered to return to aid Jinyang, but he encountered an ambush in Zhucheng before he even touched the edge of Jinyang City. Seeing that nearly half of the soldiers were trapped in the bandit camp, Dang Li led the troops in and planned to retreat .

However, just as he rushed over here, the enemy cavalry who had fled back to the city reappeared, especially the fifty heavy cavalry with man and horse armor, which seemed like a heavy spear, smashing through his troops, while the light cavalry behind them were like a gust of wind. Looting, Liu Feng and his troops rushed straight ahead and pressed them into the camp.

Up to now, Liu Feng still hasn't lost his composure, he drew a knife in his hand and slashed several enemies approaching him one after another, and grabbed a horse spear and pointed to the sky, signaling the panicked troops to come closer to him.

However, this move also exposed his position. Seeing that he was the commander-in-chief, the enemy troops on the left and right rode their horses to charge towards him. The subordinates were unable to defend him, especially Liu Feng's rear buttocks were rubbed by the spear, and he jumped out of the camp in pain. middle.

But under the control of Liu Feng's exquisite riding skills, the war horse narrowly avoided the traps in the camp, but the war horse had already rushed to the vicinity of the lake and shallows, and the cold lake water even soaked Liu Feng's ankles.

"Kill, kill..."

Liu Feng, who was originally calm, seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit at this moment, and he left all the horses aside, beating the horse desperately and shouting desperately, wanting to get out of the lake and return to the land.

However, he had just returned the war horse to the shore, and before he had time to put his feet on the ground, there was a strong wind blowing in front of him, and the thick spear directly pierced his chest, and the huge force directly overturned his body and then smashed him down heavily In the mud of the river beach.

Li Tai shook the blood on the spearhead, looked at the place where the enemy general fell and smiled contemptuously, then turned to kill other enemy soldiers, not knowing how free and easy he was now, and how embarrassed he would be later.
