Mi Han

Chapter 226
When Man Chong heard that there were many enemy troops outside the city, an unbelievable and frightening thought began to surface in his mind.

Man Chong stepped forward and stared at the kneeling soldier and asked, "Where did the enemy come from?"

Man Chong's tone was full of anxiety, but there was still a glimmer of hope.

as long as
But to Man Chong's disappointment, the kneeling soldier replied in a panic: "There are many enemy boats on the upper reaches of the Han River!"

When the soldier's words fell into Man Chong's ears, his figure could no longer maintain his stability, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

A large number of enemy troops swim downstream from the upper reaches of the Han River, and it is very clear what this means.

Cao Ren led an army of nearly [-] against the current, and when he entered the Han River to control those Han River villages, he would definitely divide his troops to garrison the rear.

Under such circumstances, how could there be a large number of enemy troops swimming downstream?

Moreover, the most important thing is that a large number of enemy troops should have encountered Cao Ren's army when they swam down.

But now there is no news of Cao Ren's army, but a large number of enemy troops have appeared on the Han River outside Wudang County. None of these signs indicate one thing:

Cao Ren's army has encountered an accident!
Although I don't know what kind of accidents Cao Ren's army has encountered, but at least it was a big defeat, otherwise how could Mi Yang's army be so rampant!
It's even possible.
Thinking about it carefully and fearing it, Man Chong didn't dare to think deeply.

Man Chong's body kept retreating, and finally leaned against the sword rest beside him.

Looking at the saber on the sword stand, Man Chong's frightened face showed firmness.

Now the whereabouts of the tens of thousands of troops are unknown, Cao Ren and other Wei generals are still alive and dead, and the only one who can rely on him is himself.

Man Chong has experienced many storms in his life, so at this time he can still keep himself calm.

Man Chong immediately sat back at the desk, and then quickly started writing at the desk.

Due to time constraints, Man Chong couldn't take care of writing too many words, so he simply wrote two sentences:
"The life and death of the chariot general is unknown, Wudang is in danger, please help!"

With these two simple sentences, Man Chong wrote several silk scriptures in succession.

Then he summoned a dozen scouts and handed over the letter of appeal he wrote to them.

Man Chong asked them one by one with a solemn face to send these letters for help to the places where they asked for help as soon as possible.

These ten or so scouts were all the elite left over from the Battle of Fancheng. After receiving Man Chong's request for help, they did not say much. After bowing to Man Chong, they left the hall of the county mansion.

After completing this matter, Man Chong lifted the saber on the sword stand, and led all the guards towards the gate of Wudang County.

Deng Ai and Feng Xi stood on a boat, looking at Wudang County, which was already close at hand, with joyful smiles on their faces.

Apart from the joyful smile on Feng Xi's face, there was also intense excitement.

Feng Xi is from Nanjun, Jingzhou. He joined Liu Bei when Liu Bei was stationed in Jingzhou.

Since joining Liu Bei's army, he has been highly regarded by Liu Bei because of his talent in Yunwen Yunwu.

Later, when Liu Bei entered Shu, he also followed Liu Bei, and he has been staying in Yizhou since then.

Feng Xi had heard of the prestige of Mi Yang's public security battle before.

Because of this, when he received Liu Bei's secret order to assist Mi Yang, Feng Xi did not underestimate or dissatisfy Mi Yang because of his own qualifications.

Since leading the army outside the west city, he has been faithfully carrying out Mi Yang's orders.

Among the tasks Mi Yang assigned to the generals before, Mi Yang gave Feng Xi a very important task out of trust in Liu Bei's vision in view of Liu Bei's history of letting Feng Xi serve as the former governor.

That is to let Feng Xi lead an army of six thousand and hide in the forest next to the Hanshui Water Village.

Once Cao Ren's army crossed the water village, Feng Xi could immediately lead the army out, get rid of the Wei troops left by Cao Ren who were stationed in the water village, and then block the retreat of Cao Ren's army.

In this way, even if some Wei soldiers escaped by chance, they would fall into Feng Xi's ambush when they retreated all the way.

And this move can also prevent the Wei army in Wudang County from investigating the news of Cao Ren's army.

From the point that Man Chong could not get news of Cao Ren's army, Feng Xi undoubtedly completed the task assigned to him by Mi Yang very satisfactorily.

After Mi Yang saw that the destruction of Cao Ren's army had become a fact, he immediately sent someone to send a letter to Feng Xi, ordering him to lead the army to swim down and surround Wudang County.

After Feng Xi got the military order from Mi Yang, he didn't dare to neglect at all, and hurriedly led the army to board the boat and swim downstream.

But at the same time, he felt even more in awe of Mi Yang in his heart.

In troubled times, it is easy for famous generals with outstanding military exploits to establish great prestige.

Since Mi Yang was able to issue the order for him to lead the army to swim down, it must have almost taken care of Cao Ren's army.

Besides, even though it was downstream, Feng Xi could still vaguely see the crimson world when he ascended the height.

This made Feng Xi's mind naturally emerge, the scene of Cao Ren's army howling in the sea of ​​flames.

This made Feng Xi's heart excited, and at the same time, his awe of Mi Yang became stronger.

Before the Public Security War, Mi Yang was boasted so miraculously, that was just heard.

Even though Feng Xi believed in Mi Yang's record after hearing it, the feeling in his heart was definitely not as deep as what he saw so far.

But Cao Ren is now the No. 1 general against Wei, and now he is in crisis under Mi Yang's layout. That sense of excitement and pride is huge for Feng Xi.

Even Feng Xi now has an idea quietly emerging in his mind.

Compared with the undisguised excitement on Feng Xi's face, Deng Ai's face looked calmer.

It's not that his personality is deeper than Feng Xi's, it's just that it's no surprise to Deng Ai.

Although Deng Ai did not follow Mi Yang to participate in the Public Security War, he had seen it. Mi Yang used his prestige outside Xiakou to scare the Wu army into chaos.

Moreover, since Deng Ai followed Mi Yang, Mi Yang's performance has been different from others. Compared with Feng Xi, Deng Ai is more psychologically prepared.

It's just that the sense of pride in Deng Ai's heart is not lower than that of Feng Xi.

Only by doing so can I be worthy of being my lord.

Deng Aigao raised his head high and looked towards Wudang County below. His eyes were full of determination to win Wudang County below.

When the six thousand Han troops gradually approached Wudang County by boat, Feng Xi immediately commanded the army under his command to go ashore immediately and surrounded Wudang County in groups.

Wudang County is built along the Han River, so Feng Xi only needs to lead the army to surround the other three gates of Wudang County.

After [-] Han troops surrounded Wudang County, some Han army scouts captured several Wei soldiers outside Wudang City, and found a letter of plea for help from them.

After Feng Xi heard the news, his thick eyebrows were frowned, and he found Deng Ai to discuss the next arrangement with him.

Deng Ai was appointed by Mi Yang as Feng Xi's lieutenant because of his seniority.

Although Deng Ai's qualifications are not high, he is quite resourceful. Letting him serve as Feng Xi's deputy general can have the effect of checking for gaps and making up for gaps.

After Deng Ai heard the news, there was no worry on his face.

Wudang was built on the Han River, and their army flowed down the Han River. Such a move must not be able to hide the Wei army on the Wudang city wall.

And as long as Wei Jun detects the appearance of their army, the general of Wei Jun in the city will know about it very quickly.

Under such circumstances, as long as the general Wei Jun in Wudang City reacts quickly, his first reaction will of course be to ask for help.

After all, it takes time for the army to besiege the city. During this time, it is not surprising that the general Wei Jun in Wudang City sent some messengers from the city.

Mi Yang had already expected this, so he said in the military order to Feng Xi: "besiege the city as soon as possible before the bandit army comes to help."

Mi Yang's main concern was the reinforcements of the Wei army stationed in other counties in Nanyang.

If the news was known in advance to the Wei army stationed in other counties, then the Wei army in Yin County and other counties closest to Wudang could reach Wudang County in about half a day under the rapid march.

Once the reinforcements of the Wei army enter Wudang County, the city defense in Wudang County will be strengthened, which will not be conducive to the subsequent Han army attacking the city.

Because he knew what Mi Yang meant, Deng Ai said to Feng Xiyan:
"Xiu Yuan doesn't need to worry. Now Wudang County has been surrounded by our regiments. Even if the bandit troops stationed in various places get the news, it will not affect the overall situation."

Deng Ai still had a little judgment in his heart.

It is even possible that once the news of Mi Yang's defeat of Cao Ren is completely spread, it is not certain whether the Wei army in other counties in Nanyang will dare to come to die!

After Deng Ai said this, a look of relief appeared on Feng Xi's face.

He was a little too impatient just now.

Or because Mi Yang's prestige in his heart is too deep now, he is worried that Mi Yang will be disappointed if he can't complete the task assigned by Mi Yang.

Then Feng Xi immediately ordered the Han army on three sides besieging the city to start building tents on the spot.

The task Mi Yang gave Feng Xi was to surround Wudang County, and he did not let him take Wudang County with his army.

The siege battle is not easy, not to mention that according to the previous information, Wudang County, as a bridgehead to defend against him, is quite solidly built, and it is not so easy to attack.

So after Feng Xi surrounded Wudang County, he began to build a military camp.

In this way, on the one hand, Wudang County can be further surrounded with the help of the military camp, and on the other hand, after Mi Yang's follow-up army arrives, they can move in immediately.

It is not without reason that Feng Xi was trusted by Liu Bei. Under his supervision, the outline of the general camp was finally completed before it was completely dark.

Although there are still many areas to be improved in the barracks, the general outline is enough to ensure that the Han army has a place to stay, and it can also prevent the Wei army in the city from breaking out.

After the sky darkened, Feng Xi did not go to rest.

He personally led his personal guards to inspect the camps, inspected the antler facilities in various military camps, and repeatedly instructed the Han troops in the military camps to beware of the Wei troops in Wudang City attacking the camps.

Being calm and steady is one of Feng Xi's great strengths that Liu Bei loves so much.

Man Chong, standing high on the city wall, came to the city wall of Wudang County at sunset.

When he saw that thousands of Han troops arrived outside the city, they did not rush to attack the city immediately, but began to build military camps outside the city one after another, his worries became deeper and deeper.

After thousands of Han troops arrived outside the city, Man Chong hoped that the Han troops would attack the city.

Although the sudden appearance of thousands of Han troops shocked the Wei army in the city, morale declined.

But relying on their own prestige in the city, the Wei army in the city would not be powerless if they defended the city alone.

Second, if he can repel the attack of the Han army while defending the city, it will boost his morale.

But to Man Chong's surprise, the Han army, which had just won a big victory, was not in a hurry to attack the city.

They just built a military camp outside the city for a long time. Man Chong knew what the Han army was waiting for outside the city, and what they were waiting for was the arrival of Mi Yang.

Sure enough, as Man Chong expected, not long after the sky outside the city darkened, a fiery dragon suddenly appeared on the pitch-black Han River.

It was the arrival of most of the rear of the Han army.

The fire dragon on the Han River seems to be composed of countless warships, and under the guidance of the light of the torches, they quickly came towards Wudang County.

The light of tens of thousands of torches may not be able to illuminate this dark world.

But it is enough to reflect the pitch-black Han River like the gleaming Milky Way in the sky.

And on the Milky Way-like Han River, more and more Han warships began to appear in Man Chong's sight.

After seeing the long fire dragon appear, bursts of cheers erupted in the Han army barracks outside Wudang City.

Because the thousands of Han troops outside Wudang City realized that the general who had just led them to a proud victory had arrived.

In the silent night, the enthusiastic cheers of thousands of Han troops startled countless birds in the mountains and forests, and also severely damaged the morale of the Wei troops in Wudang City.

Perhaps most of the Wei army in the city was not as accurate as Man Chong in judging that Cao Ren's army had encountered an accident.

But Mi Yang's prestige was already high, and he suddenly saw countless enemy troops appearing outside the city, which made the hearts of every Wei army in the city feel as if they had fallen into a quagmire.

The swamp was so deep that they couldn't breathe.

When Deng Ai in the barracks saw that most of the soldiers and horses led by Mi Yang had arrived, he hurried out of the army tent, and then led his personal guards to the port.

Because of the lighting of many torches and good command, the warships of the Han army began to dock in an orderly manner after arriving at the port of Wudang County.

But the tens of thousands of Han troops did not disembark rashly.

After all, it is late at night, and most of the tens of thousands of Han troops have night blindness.

Therefore, out of experience, Zhang Nan and other generals did not rush to order the army to land immediately.

After Deng Ai came to the port, he boarded the ship with the flag of Mi Yang, but after boarding the ship, Deng Ai found that Mi Yang was not on board.

After questioning, Deng Aicai learned from Ding Feng that Mi Yang ordered them to swim down first to cooperate with Feng Xi's encirclement of Wudang.

As for Mi Yang, he stayed in the west city for the time being, dealing with the aftermath of the war just now.

And Mi Yang also specifically asked the generals to follow Feng Xi's orders during his absence after arriving in Wudang County.

After telling Deng Ai these things, Ding Feng finally said with pride:

"The general will arrive early tomorrow morning at the latest."

"Shi Zai, do you think our army can break through the city again?"

The victory of today's battle made all the generals have great confidence in their hearts, but this kind of confidence made Deng Ai frown.

It's just that if you have too much self-confidence, you will become a proud soldier.

　For the smoothness of the plot, the orders arranged by Mi Yang in the previous chapter have been modified, so hereby explain.
