Northern Dynasties

Chapter 484 Who is the enemy general?
"Die!"

With a loud shout, the scalper pulling the cart was stabbed to death by Xue Guyan. Immediately, Xue Guyan's arm, which was thicker than ordinary people's calves, slammed the horse onto the carriage, followed by a loud bang. There was a loud noise, sawdust splashed, and the wide compartment several inches thick was smashed to pieces by this spear, and even the frame of the carriage was shaken and cracked!

The power of the brave general's blow was so fierce that the soldiers who rode their horses and followed in front cheered loudly, but before they could applaud a few times, they were immediately attracted by the scene on the cart: "This cart is full of silk. Bo! There are hundreds of horses in a car..."

Seeing this scene, all the soldiers under Xue Guyan's command widened their eyes, and the soldiers of the Western Army in front of the car formation also retreated one after another, leaving all the frontmost carts on the spot.And when the other knights followed suit and dismantled the carriages, they saw that these carts were full of silk without exception, and there were thousands of horses in sight alone.

Although these soldiers are brave, it doesn't mean they don't eat fireworks, especially when they are engaged in high-risk jobs, and their desires are much stronger than ordinary people.

Seeing so many silks scattered in front of the eyes, and the soldiers of the Western Army huddled in the chariots with no fighting spirit, some people couldn't help but get off their horses and rushed to the side of the chariot to pick up those silks.

"Leave in line, don't act without authorization!"

Xue Guyan, as a well-known general in the middle school, a mere few thousand pieces of silk and silk goods will not make him lose all his sanity. Subconsciously, he thought that this must be the enemy's trick to lure the enemy, and a warning sign suddenly appeared in his heart, so he reined in immediately. Rushing out of here and shouting orders.

Although there were some soldiers who were ordered to leave quickly, most of the soldiers still couldn't bear to give up their money. Seeing that some people dismounted as an example to pick them up, the others also followed suit and looted. , waist entwined, there was no order for a while, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

"shoot!"

The drums of the Western Army who had been shrunk to the rear suddenly burst into loud drums, and at the same time a military order was issued from the boat in the river. Hundreds of oil-soaked rockets shot straight at the place where the silk was looted. Some soldiers of the Eastern Army were shot directly. Shooting on the spot, the other ones who didn't get hit by the arrows didn't have a good end. The silk wrapped around the body was already flammable, and when a spark splashed up, it was immediately engulfed by the blazing flames.

Just now there were two or three hundred people who left the army to loot the silk, almost all of them were engulfed by the flames at this moment, and the only way to save themselves was of course to rush to the nearby valley water.

This time, it really took money to smash people!

Seeing that the enemy's formation was in chaos, Li Tai naturally wanted to make the thousands of silk flowers worthwhile. Dang even led his fine cavalry to rush out of the chariot formation, and went straight to kill the remaining enemy cavalry on the left near the battlefield. go.

Li Tai was deeply impressed by Xue Guyan's bravery in destroying a car. Although these vans were indeed rebuilt temporarily, it is amazing that they were able to do this.

Therefore, after rushing out of the car formation, he took the lead and rushed straight to this brave general with a spear.

And Xue Guyan saw hundreds of soldiers buried in the sea of ​​flames and rivers in an instant, and he was feeling extremely annoyed. When he saw Li Tai rushing towards him, he also straightened up and rode his horse to sprint towards Li Tai past.

Clang!
After a sharp lance collided, the two sides passed by each other. Li Tai only felt that the lance in his hand was trembling between his hands as if electrified, and he almost couldn't hold it.

But right now he has no time to marvel, because there is another enemy pawn stabbing in front of him, he swung his remaining strength with both arms, and swept the oncoming pawn off the horse, but he was unable to make up for the blow, so he could only Take advantage of the remaining momentum to rush out of the enemy's formation.

Xue Guyan also didn't feel very well after the head-to-head encounter with Li Tai. The horse he used was bigger and heavier than ordinary ones, so it was more difficult to unload the force. Just now, the force of the blow went straight from the arm to the waist The sinking made him run straight in a fit of anger, and then he had a hard fight with Gao Le who was following him, his arms became more sore, and finally Ma Qian missed and fell down.

"The thief will take his life!"

Seeing this scene with their own eyes, the two cavalry pawns stabbed at Xue Guyan with their spears from left and right. Feng Xia rushed out with a low body, and took advantage of the intersection of the wrong body to kill an enemy soldier under the horse.

But not all the soldiers of the Eastern Army were as skilled in martial arts as he was. After a charge, nearly a hundred soldiers of the Eastern Army who had lost their vigor first were hacked and killed.

Not long after they fought each other, nearly half of the thousands of elite soldiers brought by Xue Guyan were lost, and the others who had not yet been involved in the battle circle were already showing signs of fright and fled.

Although Xue Guyan rushed out of the enemy's formation with a knife all the way, but after seeing this scene, he couldn't help but change his face in shock. It is really unimaginable that the enemy general he despised at the beginning would kill so many of his troops in such a short period of time. pawn.

"Who is the thief general? He uses troops so skillfully, he shouldn't be an unknown person!"

He rode his horse around to the south bank of Gushui, and after forming a team with the subordinates who gathered here to meet him, he went back to the front of the car formation again, and shouted questions to Li Tai's troops who were also lined up beside the car formation.

Li Tai has never been very fond of playing sympathy with his enemies, and he ignored Xue Guyan's questioning, but pointed his horse in his hand at him and sneered, "Don't leave, thief! If you don't kill him within ten minutes Get off now, it's your fate!"

Xue Guyan was even more ashamed and annoyed when he heard this, and he yelled in anger, but now the enemy is outnumbered and the morale of each other is very different, it is useless to fight again, so after throwing a few insults, he decides on his own The horse turned and fled eastward.

Li Tai was full of self-confidence at the moment, and planned to add another feat of killing the enemy's general in the field, so he led his cavalry to continue to follow and pursue.But after chasing for several miles, when he saw the smoke and dust rising in front of him, he tactfully stopped and turned back.

After Xue Guyan gathered reinforcements on his way, he was still brooding over the humiliation he had suffered before, and he fought back based on the principle of not staying overnight for revenge. What he saw was that the enemy generals and cavalry troops retreated again. Inside the car formation, and continued to move forward slowly, as if treating the car formation as a mobile camp.

Because of the previous lessons, Xue Guyan did not dare to rashly attack the enemy's chariots again. If he threw out cartloads of money and silk again, he might repeat the same mistakes.

But the humiliation he suffered before was hard to swallow, and he couldn't just sit and watch the enemy army arrive at the Golden Gran Cang City, so Xue Guyan ordered his troops to shout and invite battle along the chariot formation, and at the same time ordered his troops to stand in front of him. Dig ditches along the river ahead to destroy the road ahead of the chariot battalion, in order to force the cavalry troops out of the chariot formation.

But as soon as his troops started digging at the selected location along the river, boats and boats sailing in the river approached, and a rain of arrows washed the ground, shooting and scaring those troops away, leaving behind a dozen corpses There is no gain.

"My lord, the reason why the thieves ventured out of Guancheng is to rescue the danger of Jingu City. Right now, vehicles, boats and boats are responding to each other, and there is no way to stop and kill them. It is better to attack Jingu City with all its strength first, forcing it to panic and panic. If you come to rescue, you can immediately intercept and kill them, making them fall inside and out!"

Seeing that Xue Guyan was a little frowning, a general stepped forward to plan.

Xue Guyan frowned slightly after hearing this plan, but then frowned and said angrily: "Could it be that the well-defined Jingu City is easier to conquer than this simple car array?"

Of course, this car array is not stronger than Jingu City, but it is even more difficult when it comes to it. It is completely contrary to the clean and neat encirclement that Xue Guyan envisioned before. Echoing, it will be more difficult to fight again.

So after thinking twice, Xue Guyan still decided to conquer Jingu City first, at least to get the supplies in the city and allow the troops to rest and face the enemy in a more vigorous state.

So Xue Guyan left hundreds of Qingqi to monitor the movement of this group of people along the way, and he personally led the main force back to the camp outside Jingu City, and began to attack Jingu City.

In Jingu City, although he was trapped here and had no communication with the outside world, Han Xiong also noticed the abnormal behavior of the enemy army today, so he announced to the people under his command: "The bandit camp has frequent people and horses coming in and out today, and they are very irritable. Li Kaifu of Guancheng led troops to rescue, and the thieves can't stop them. They may attack the city to harass the reinforcements, and we must hold on to the city until the reinforcements arrive, and attack the powerful enemies inside and outside!"

The soldiers in the city nodded in agreement, and under the command of Han Xiong, they carried out a series of preparations such as repairing the city defense.And when the armored formation outside the city was launched to attack the city, because of Han Xiong's prophecy in advance, the defenders did not panic too much, but organized defense in an orderly manner.

Due to the setback in the battle with Li Tai's men and horses, and in order to prevent more variables, Xue Guyan invested a large number of troops at the beginning of the siege, launching a joint attack on foot and horse from various places such as the river beach and embankment, and he himself put on armor to go into battle , rushed to the embankment and fought with the defenders.

Although various preparations had been made, the enemy's offensive was more violent than Han Xiong expected. Not long after the two sides fought, a section of the river embankment was lost. .

At this critical moment, Han Xiong personally put on the armor knife that Li Tai had given him before, and several elites under his command stood firm on the stone bridge, and defeated the enemy's attacks several times in a row, and then barely pushed the battle line back to the river embankment.But judging from the enemy's offensive of such intensity, if the reinforcements can't arrive tomorrow, the city may not be able to defend.

In the evening, Xue Guyan returned to the camp a little tired, and told his soldiers: "Tonight, cook and eat in the camp early, sleep after eating, and attack again in the night, we must take Cangcheng back as soon as possible!"

After thinking for a while, he looked at the soldiers and said in a deep voice: "Bring a bucket of wine, just one bucket, no more! If I get tired and get drunk, I will kill you!"
