The fierce cold wind was blocked by the Qinling Mountains and Bashan. After being interrupted twice in a row, even the strongest cold wind was already weak by the time it reached Sichuan and Shu. It blew softly over the treetops, causing a gust of wind.
Array of pines.
The weather was gloomy, but there was no rain.
"Only a thousand people? Hmm..." Yan Yan squatted on a big rock, like a ferocious beast checking his own territory, "Let these people pass! Avoid the main road and hide them all!"
In the land of Sichuan and Sichuan, there are mountains everywhere. The army goes up and down between the valleys and mountain ridges. The best road is naturally the wider official road, but there are also some winding paths hidden under the bushes and grass in the surrounding mountains.
It's so close that you can't see it at all.
Yan Yan led his soldiers and ran into Ma Heng's soldiers head-on, but the Sichuan-Sichuan scouts who were more familiar with the terrain discovered Ma Heng's troops in advance. In comparison, the Ma Heng scouts who were not used to the Sichuan-Sichuan area obviously had a narrow scope of investigation.
After a small circle, Yan Yan and others were not found hiding. Seeing Ma Heng and his entourage disappear at the corner of the mountain road, Yan Yan laughed twice and greeted, "Be careful with your actions, let's go!"
I want to treat you to a nice drink!"
…………………………
The city wall of Hanchang is not high and is a bit old. It was built during the reign of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty. The city wall with patches of moss here and there gives a solemn look under the dull sky.
Feeling, the vicissitudes of history are fully revealed.
Around the city wall, soldiers from Sichuan and Shu stood with weapons in hand. From time to time, civilians carried sticks to transport materials from the city to the city wall. Apart from this, there were no people in the rest of the place, even some people outside the city.
The farmland that was reclaimed from the mountains was also empty. All the original rice straw and some grass and trees that could be harvested were harvested, and those that could not be harvested into the city were burned, leaving some black ash in the bare fields.
Because the climate in Sichuan and Sichuan is relatively mild, after the crops are harvested, farmers in Sichuan and Sichuan usually plant fruits and vegetables that take less time to grow. However, those that have not grown yet are harvested in these two days.
Into the soil.
Wheat fields, villages, and roads, starting from Hanchang County as the center, extend along the water veins, and by about thirty miles to the east, they have entered the mountains and fields. Shitouling is the farthest Zhuangzi from Hanchang County.
, the traces of crops have basically stopped here. In order to guard the mountain pass here, intercept bandits and refugees, supervise and manage the population, etc., Hanchang County has a small small town here.
A team of soldiers, a total of more than fifty people, was arranged in the military camp.
It was approaching noon. Dub, who was in charge of defense, ended his inspection around the military stronghold and returned to the military stronghold with two guards. One of his main responsibilities was to assign sentries on nearby hills, and the other was to patrol the official roads to prevent
Some refugees or thieves or something, but now there is one more thing...
Three quarters past noon is a good time to kill and behead people.
As the vanguard, Ma Heng's two commanders, with two hundred soldiers, appeared at the bend of the mountain road in Shitou Ridge...
When the warning gong rang, the soldiers led by Ma Heng from the two villages were already trotting down the mountain road and heading towards the military camp.
Ma Heng, who came alone to lead the army, marched lightly and approached the edge of Hanchang. After a night's rest, he launched a surprise attack in the early morning of the next day.
Most of Ma Heng's troops were not new soldiers. When Zhang Lu was still in Hanzhong, he was already receiving pay and food. After being recruited by General Zhengxi and eliminating some weak soldiers, another period of time passed.
Although their training is not as good as that of elite soldiers who have fought hundreds of battles, at least they have no problem in following orders and prohibitions. Therefore, after giving the order, they flocked to them.
Wei Yan was at the forefront of these two hundred people.
When he was supervising the delivery of grain and grass some time ago, Wei Yan felt that he was just like the humid weather in Sichuan and Sichuan, and his whole body was almost moldy. When he learned that Ma Heng was going to lead the troops alone, he took the initiative to find Ma Heng.
, expressed his willingness to accompany him. Ma Heng felt that he was also from Jingxiang, so he agreed to take Wei Yan with him as a vanguard.
Battles in the cold weapon era were often brutal and rough. As for exquisite coordination, it belonged to high-end elite soldiers who had been trained for a long time. For most ordinary soldiers, the instructions were often two, charge forward and fight.
move back.
While running, with rapid breathing, crackling footsteps and slightly chaotic shouts, Wei Yan held up a long knife and felt the blood buzzing in his blood vessels, as if there was a surge of blood.
Infinite power is constantly growing...
On the observation deck of the military village in Shitouling, a Sichuan and Sichuan soldier was beating the gong in fear. His hands and feet were stiff, making people wonder if the small hammer that struck the gong would fly out at the next moment...
The other two people on the observation deck opened their bows and mounted their arrows. They were supposed to wait until Wei Yan and others were within range before shooting. However, due to nervousness, they shot out crookedly before Wei Yan could get closer.
, plunged to the ground.
Wei Yan laughed loudly when he saw this, causing the soldiers around him to laugh together.
Some Sichuan and Shu soldiers who were patrolling outside had not had time to rush back to the military camp. Wei Yan and others were already approaching quickly. Seeing that they could not run away, the Sichuan and Shu soldiers who were at the back howled and turned around, closing their eyes.
While screaming, he waved the sword randomly.
Wei Yan was so happy that he seemed to think that killing such a soldier would stain his own sword. He didn't even bother to kill him. With the momentum of his forward thrust, he kicked him away and hit the ground with a thud.
On the wall, passed out.
"Don't stand in my way!"
Without any pause in his footsteps, Wei Yan rushed into the village with his soldiers. In the blink of an eye, as the front of the soldiers spread, the blood gradually spread. The soldiers of Sichuan and Shu resisted vigorously in front of the army village. Yu Wei Yan and others collided with each other in front of the village.
Together, swords and spears were flying in the air, bringing up puff after puff of blood.
Wei Yan rushed to the front, holding a long knife in both hands, slashing all the way. It seemed that the more he killed, the more excited Wei Yan was. He thought of the sound of ha, ha, ha from time to time. He didn't know whether he was laughing strangely or exhaling.
Voice.
Several Sichuan and Shu soldiers stood behind the gate of the military village and thrust out from the gap in the wall with their spears. Wei Yan rushed forward and cut the protruding spear into two sections with a knife, and then slashed it at the gate of the village with a sharp knife.
Go up, with a loud bang, the village gate was cut in half!
Wei Yan swung his knife and chopped again, until the half-hand-thick village door was made of paper. A huge gap was cut out amid the flying wood chips, revealing the wooden bolt used to latch the door.
"Get the hell out of the way!"
Wei Yan shouted loudly, and the long knife came down from above like lightning, striking the wooden bolt of the door, immediately cutting it into two sections! The soldiers following Wei Yan cheered in unison, and knocked open the gate of the village.
, then they rushed towards the military stronghold together!
"Damn it! Listen up, you bastards! Take the guard's head..."
While shouting, Wei Yan chopped down the resisting Sichuan and Shu soldiers to the ground, and sprayed blood on him, just like a tiger in the mountains breaking into the sheepfold, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, and carrying the
A killing frenzy.
"...Leave it to me! Don't steal it from anyone!"
…………………………
The mountain becomes more secluded when birds sing.
Birds preparing to return to the forest at dusk were hovering over the woods on the opposite mountain, chirping non-stop, as if they were missing the sunset and refused to rest.
For two consecutive days, everything was peaceful and peaceful, surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers. Liu Dan couldn't help but feel a sense of poetry. He looked at the distant mountains with his hands behind his back, thinking that if he were to conquer Shuzhong, he would definitely write a poem.
Only then can you highlight your ability to be both civil and military.
After a cool breeze blew, Liu Dan also felt a little chilly, so he gave up his poetry and went back to his tent to rest, preparing to accept the surrender of Hanchang County tomorrow.
As an outstanding middle-aged man who grew up under the red flag of the Han Dynasty and determined to be a successor to the feudalism of the Han Dynasty since childhood, Liu Dan naturally believed that people should have integrity and integrity and do what they say, otherwise they would be like animals.
?So Liu Dan felt that people in Hanchang County should not go back on their word, otherwise they would have the face to stand in the world? But what Liu Dan didn't expect was that since they were originally prepared to be shameless, how could there be such a thing?
Sense of shame?
Yan Yan didn't feel ashamed at all. It wasn't him who agreed to it anyway. What's more, soldiers are cunning and do whatever they can. Can they win the battle if they have a sense of shame?
Yan Yan did not prepare for a night attack, because to be honest, not everyone in Sichuan and Sichuan can see at night, so the best time is at dusk.
The sun sets slowly, and the smoke slowly rises from the cottage.
The soldiers led by Yan Yan also gradually moved down the hilltop opposite the mountain stronghold. Several Sichuan and Shu soldiers reached the blind spot of the mountain stronghold and took out kerosene and bows and arrows. A soldier nestled in the leeward and began to beat the fire sickle.
…
Several rockets passed over the mountain village and plunged into the stacks of grain and grass piled high in the back camp of the mountain village. Then several more rockets were fired in succession. Although not every rocket may be accurate, but there are more of them, there will always be a chance.
One or two of them plunged into the hay pile, and a moment later thick smoke rose up along with the raging fire.
"Dang-dang-dang-dang..." The alarm gong was struck.
"The water has escaped! The water has escaped!" the grassroots soldiers and sergeants shouted loudly, instructing the soldiers to quickly fetch water and put out the fire.
Just when Liu Dan's army was panicking because of the fire in the rear camp, Yan Yan rushed towards him with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other!
The cottage had just been breached once, and Liu Dan had no intention of living here for a long time, so he just repaired it and forgot about it. There were originally two sentry towers at the front door of the cottage, and one of them collapsed and was not repaired.
Taking a new one also gave Yan Yan and others an opportunity to take advantage of.
When Liu Dan's soldiers on the sentry tower noticed a group of menacing people on the mountain road, they not only ran wildly along the mountain road, but some people even climbed up the rocks on their hands and feet. When they were half surrounded, they quickly sounded the gong to warn, but
Unexpectedly, the sound was completely buried in the noise of the fire fighting in the rear camp, and it did not attract the attention of many people.
Yan Yan roared and sped up his advance. The Sichuan and Shu soldiers who were accustomed to climbing up mountain roads quickly approached the mountain stronghold as if they were running on flat ground.
It was indeed discovered too late. Before the soldiers in Liu Dan's village could react, Yan Yan had already rushed under the mountain village with his men. Some of the agile Sichuan and Shu soldiers even threw nooses on the side wall of the mountain village.
After starting to climb, the other part took a big awl and smashed into the original gap that had been hastily blocked. After a few times, the nailed wooden planks were broken, exposing each gap.
Those who followed Yan Yan in the charge were all the elite sword and shield wielders of the Yan family. Several of the elite Yan family lowered their center of gravity and hid their bodies behind the shields. Facing the swords and spears slashed at the gap, they did not show any signs of attack.
Don't be afraid, two or three people put the shield in one place, press all the focus of the body on the shield, drink a lot, and push forward together, only hear Ding Ding Dang, Zhuo Zhuo 哚, I don’t know how many for a while, I don’t know how many there are.
The weapon struck the shield.
In an infantry battle formation, if they fight in formation, ten veteran pawns can easily defeat fifty new recruits, and for elite warriors, they can also fight against five times the number of veteran pawns without any difficulty. Therefore, when
After Yan Yan led the Yan family's elite swordsmen and shieldmen into the gap in the village, and Liu Dan's soldiers in the village were full of countermeasures and had no frontline command, as the Yan family's swordsmen and shieldmen were flying with sword light, in the blink of an eye they were gone.
Do you know how many soldiers of Liu Dan were chopped to the ground?
Several sword and shield players, with Yan Yan as the center, lowered their center of gravity, lowered their heads to meet him, raised the shield with their left hand to lift the swords and slashed at the various weapons that were thrown at them, and then stepped forward with the long swords in their hands to stab or chop the swordsmen in front of him.
Between the chest and abdomen of the soldier, the sharp long knife was withdrawn when blood came, and then he pressed forward and moved forward again!
The sword light and blood light reflected the sunset, orange, bright red, dark red, purple red, one after another, full of strange beauty. In the blink of an eye, dozens of Liu Dan's men disappeared in the continuous rolling forward rain of sword light and blood.
, was swallowed up, and every roll of the sword meant that Yan Yan's troops took a step forward!
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Liu Dan's men roared loudly, "Your Majesty, give the order quickly! Give the order!"
"What order?" Liu Dan's eyes did not have much focus. "What order?"
There were continuous screams, and Liu Dan, who was in the middle of the mountain village, was at a loss. Should he put out the fire or face the enemy, or should he put out the fire and face the enemy partly? The poetic and picturesque mood in his daily life had long been accompanied by rolling beads of sweat.
All in all, at this moment, there were still several thoughts swirling in Liu Dan's mind. Where did the fire in the back camp come from? How did the enemy troops in front come from?
