Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 246 Uneasy Feelings

Wen Pin rode his horse in the night under the stars, and the galloping fighting spirit in his chest almost set him on fire.Naturally, this was not only because of Ji Ling's army in front, but also because he never thought that a little Quhou himself would be so highly valued by the emperor of the Han Dynasty today!
Behind him, in addition to his five hundred soldiers, there are also three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry who are skilled in bows and horses!

These three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry were the elite recruited by His Majesty from Li Meng and Fan Chou when he conquered Hedong.

Wenpin still clearly remembered the shock and ecstasy when he was appointed by His Majesty to rescue the forward of Xuanyuan Mountain.But before he could react from this surprise, the graceful and graceful young majesty patted himself on the shoulder with his approachable smile, and said cordially, as if chatting homely:
"Zhongye, you are a good general, and my vision is never wrong. You bring these three thousand cavalry with you, and I believe that with your ability, you will surely make them docile."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Wen Pin knelt on his knees, not knowing what to say for a moment.

But the young emperor seemed to have seen through his own heart, and he was full of flair again... Wen Pin really didn't know how to describe the emperor's smile at that time, it was weird and evil, leaning over his ear with the charm that made people fall into it Bian whispered: "Although you are from Jingzhou, you have heard the words of 'Yuntai General' spread in Chang'an, right?"

Wenpin naturally learned of the rumors of Chang'an's "Yuntai General". In fact, this kind of talk about celestial magic, ghosts and gods is the most popular among the bottom ranks of the army.Literati and bureaucrats have their own "Yuedan Commentary" which is well-known in Kyushu, but as soon as the rumors of the Yuntai general in His Majesty Chang'an's dream spread, it immediately became the "Yuedan Commentary" in the hearts of warriors.

And because the 'Yuntai General' does not know how many people and who they are, it becomes more and more mysterious and makes the warriors yearn for it.

And at that moment, His Majesty talked about this matter to himself... Thinking of this, Wen Pin still felt that his heart would probably jump out of his chest.

Wenpin came from a poor family and spent more than ten years in the army before reaching the position of Quhou.When Jingzhou suffered from those sect thieves, what he respected the most was Liu Biao who killed all the sect thieves in a snow feast.But then, Wenpin also noticed that Liu Biao had a deep-rooted concern for the military and the unreasonable superiority of the scholar-officials.

Compared with other scholar-bureaucrats, Liu Biao is undoubtedly a good leader.At least, in comparison, he values ​​himself very much.But after meeting His Majesty today, Wenpin's expectation of Liu Biao has been shaken a little.

After all, the person who rescued his parents and fellow villagers was not the Jingzhou shepherd whom he begged so hard for, but the current emperor!And that emperor's expectation of him is not just as simple as valuing him - Wenpin is not a fool, he naturally understands the trust of His Majesty in entrusting the Xiliang iron cavalry under his personal control to him!
Therefore, he vowed that no matter what, he would win this rescue battle gracefully and live up to His Majesty's kindness.

When they finally arrived three miles away from Xuanyuan Mountain, Wen Pin ordered the soldiers to slow down their marching speed, and sent a large number of scouts to investigate the situation of Xuanyuan Mountain.Soon, the scouts came back one by one with the heads of the enemy sentries, and informed Wenpin that the situation in Xuanyuan Mountain was urgent.

"Boss, let's go to battle!" A personal guard stepped forward impatiently, and said to Wenpin mysteriously: "My subordinates have already inquired clearly that there must be rewards if the Han army fails to win, you see Those knife-pen scribes who came after us are not here to monitor us, but to count our military exploits!"

Wenpin was stunned, no wonder those Xiliang cavalry who came along didn't complain at all along the way, but all of them looked like wolves.With this foundation in place, Wenpin didn't have to worry about convincing the soldiers at all, he just needed to win the battle with peace of mind.

"Don't worry, the army is resting here, take me up to have a look." Wen Pin pointed at the order, and then disappeared into the night.

The closer he got to Xuanyuan Mountain, the more dignified Wenpin's face became.The deafening and brutal shouts of killing followed the night wind into Wenpin's ears, so that even if he couldn't see the battle situation in Xuanyuan Mountain, he could tell what kind of deadly battle was going on there.

And when the dots of lights in the sky came into Wenpin's eyes, he couldn't help but change his face and said: "Ji Ling is dispatched by the whole army, and he will fight with General Xu to the death!"

As the Marquis of Qu in Jingzhou, Wenpin also fought against Ji Ling.Although Ji Ling's soldiers were not as brave and fearless as Sun Jian's soldiers, his soldiers were equipped with the best equipment.Of course, the armament of the Han army is not bad.According to Wenpin's preliminary estimate, Ji Ling is not as good as the Han army in terms of geographical advantage and military spirit, so it would be good if he could get three to one battle losses.

That is to say, in theory, Ji Ling can use 3 people in exchange for the complete annihilation of Xuanyuan Mountain's defenders.Of course, the battlefield is never a theoretical conversion.But in any case, judging from Ji Ling's crazy offensive, he has no way to retreat and is desperate to fight!

As a result, when Wenpin vaguely saw a wall of dead bodies piled up on the hillside of Xuanyuan Mountain, and tens of thousands of arrows were densely planted all over the mountain, it made Wenpin such an old army feel a little dizzy for a while.Seeing this, the guards beside him immediately turned pale, and stopped talking about taking the initiative to attack.

However, after looking at it for a while, Wen Pin's face softened a little when he saw that Ji Lingjun seemed crazy but was still unable to break through the Han army's defense line.After seeing the lights like a fire dragon again, he smiled even more.

"General, you won't really let our more than 3000 people attack Ji Ling's army directly?" The situation of those deserters.This shows that Ji Ling's army has gone completely crazy!
When a sane person fights a madman, he always feels guilty.After all, 800 years later, it is not illegal for a mentally ill to kill someone. These Ji Ling troops who have been driven mad are no weaker than a mentally ill at this time.

"It's not 500 people going to attack Ji Ling's camp, but only 3000 people." Wen Pin said this half sentence, and the second half sentence was not finished until he returned to the self-army team: "The situation is like this. If you go with me, Wenpin, His Majesty will definitely not treat you badly. I will also give you the credit for beheading an enemy soldier for the remaining 500 people. It is up to you to decide how to choose."

Soon, the troops were divided into two groups.As Wenpin expected, the three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry chose to charge with him, while his five hundred soldiers chose to withdraw.After all, they didn't know whether they belonged to His Majesty's army, nor did they know the credibility of the Han Dynasty.Therefore, Wenpin does not blame them.

"Come on, go on!"

Ji Ling, who was full of beard and hair, held a big knife at this time, beheading no less than dozens of people with his own hands.But he didn't get half of it, instead he was tearful and extremely angry.Because what he beheaded were those self-armies who fled from the mountain: "If you can't retreat, rush up to me, we have no way out!"

But even with General Ji Ling personally supervising the battle, the battle situation is still not optimistic.Since some soldiers fell ill due to drinking the dead river water, the soldiers only wished to eat hard-to-swallow dry millet every day.The lack of water in the body made everyone in the army appear in a state of malaise.Before the general offensive was launched today, the soldiers had already begun to flee secretly.

The more severe blow was psychological than the physical thirst.Xuanyuan's inability to attack for a long time has become the army's heart disease.Including Ji Ling, they were all overwhelmed with anxiety.The confusion and panic of the commander inevitably spread to all the sergeants, and the current camp is already a mess.

The subsequent hasty and life-and-death general attack made rumors such as 'the frontline army has been defeated', 'Wancheng has fallen', and 'the Han army is coming soon' circulated in the camp these days. Definite evidence.And then Ji Ling's fierce, ruthless and frenzied massacre of the self army became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Each soldier was restless, with a mixture of pessimism and despair on their faces.On the verge of collapse, signs of chaos have begun to appear.

If this continues, Ji Ling knows that he can hold the army for about half an hour at most.If Xuanyuan Mountain hadn't been breached at that time, the army would have collapsed without the arrival of the Han army.

At this time, when Ji Ling beheaded another self-armed soldier who had begun to dare to attack the law enforcement team, he suddenly felt something, and thought of one thing-at this time, why did the scouts sent out still not respond? did not return.I remember that when Xu Rong destroyed his first attack, he felt the same uneasy feeling.

As soon as his thoughts moved, just as Ji Ling was about to ask about You Tan, he suddenly turned his head to the back.At that moment, he was shocked to see that countless torches seemed to set the night sky on fire!Then, Wei Ling's uncluttered horse's hooves knocked on the ground, making him feel the ground trembling and moaning even when he was on the mount...

"General Han Zhennan and Jingzhou Muzhangxia are hired by the emperor to fight against the rebels!"
