On the sixth day when the Xianbei people besieged Jicheng, Tian Feng rushed to Yan Liang's camp. Together with Yan Liang, he led the soldiers, crossed the Juma River, marched north, and entered the old Yan territory.
On the eighth day, Wen Chou and another army gathered together, and the two armies set up camp in Zhuo County.
"Has Jicheng been captured now?" When Tian Feng saw Wen Chou, he even skipped greetings and asked directly.
Seeing Wen Chou shaking his head, Tian Feng let out a long breath, and immediately got out of the carriage with the help of his attendants, staggering and sitting on a stone beside him.
The attendant knelt on the ground and held Tian Feng's legs and feet.
"As we get older, our legs and feet are no longer good... The two generals are laughing at each other..." Tian Feng said feebly, feeling that neither of his legs were his own.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou looked at each other and said, "Mr. Tian is too polite."
"Have you received any distress documents from Jicheng?" Tian Feng took a few breaths, waved to Yan Liangwen Chou, motioning for the two of them to come closer, and then asked softly.
"Mr. Tian, I just received a letter asking for help from Jicheng yesterday..." Wen Chou took out a roll of scarf from the leather bag at his waist, handed it to Tian Feng, and said with some worry, "Jicheng is in extremely difficult circumstances now.
, I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold on for long…”
"Xianbei and Wuhuan join forces, their strength is extraordinary..." Yan Liang also frowned and said, "Based on this, Jicheng has been besieged for eight days. If there is a slight mistake..."
Tian Feng flicked the request for help scarf in his hand, smiled, and said: "Xianyi's handwriting is quite elegant..."
Wen Chou became a little anxious and said: "Mr. Tian, please don't make fun of me. It's already this time and you don't have to talk about whether you have character or character!"
Tian Feng laughed, patted his thigh and said: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious... Think about it, if the situation is critical, do you have time to use words and sentences and carve the words carefully?"
Yan Liang tilted his head, rolled his eyes, and felt a little stunned.
"Come here! Send this letter asking for help to the general!" Tian Feng greeted, and then said, "General, let the general feel at ease. Jicheng is not in danger for the time being..."
Wen Chou was still a little confused and said: "This... Mr. Tian, can you explain it in detail?"
"What's there in Jicheng?" Tian Feng didn't dislike Wen Chou's slowness and explained, "Except for the second young master, there are just some ordinary people with wealth. And where can't these people with wealth be obtained? Why?
Are you coming to besiege Ji City?"
"Because of the second young master?" Wen Chou subconsciously asked.
Tian Feng laughed and said, "What do the Xianbei people want from the Second Young Master? The Xianbei people are in the desert, and what they lack most is salt and iron. How much can Jicheng have?"
"Yuyang!" Yan Liang said in a deep voice.
Tian Feng glanced at Yan Liang approvingly, nodded and said: "Yuyang is the origin of salt and iron. The Xianbei people besieged Jicheng. They are just using it as bait to lure us into the bait. On the one hand, they can attack the reinforcements, and on the other hand, they can divide their troops and capture them easily."
Yuyang, seize salt and iron!"
Since the Qin Dynasty, Yuyang County has become an area fought over by farmers and nomads. The simple reason is that here in Yuyang, there are grasslands, mountains, forests, salt fields, and minerals. Although these minerals are not big.
Mine, but during the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was enough.
Tian Feng concluded that the Xianbei people were using the strategy of attacking Jicheng on the surface, but actually trying to mobilize the troops in Yuyang, and then raid Yuyang to plunder the salt and iron resources in Yuyang.
After all, salt and iron are the most scarce on the grassland. If the Xianbei people obtain a large amount of salt and iron, then the Xianbei people will invisibly increase their strength, and Yuyang, which has suffered major damage, will inevitably decline.
Under this circumstance, it will be even more difficult to defend the Xianbei people again next year. If this continues, it won't be long before Youzhou will be completely lost to the Xianbei people.
"Plundering Yuyang is far more cost-effective than forcibly capturing Jicheng..." Tian Feng stroked his beard and signaled that the attendants no longer needed to move the blood in his legs and feet for him. He shook his legs twice and felt that the soreness and numbness had passed.
Then he stood up and said, "Kebi Neng from Xianbei is very ambitious, and he must have considered this, so this time..."
Tian Feng has dealt with Ke Bineng and knows Ke Bineng's character. It is precisely because Ke Bineng has great ambitions that he will not be satisfied with just looting here in Jicheng. He wants something more.
Many, and even prepare to occupy Youzhou and then lay the foundation for its further strength.
"Xianbei had a good idea. He attracted us to Jicheng and then captured Yuyang. Even if we reacted, we would not be able to catch up. We could only watch the Xianbei people looting..." Tian Feng narrowed his eyes.
He looked at it and said, "In this way, when the next spring comes, the Xianbei people, who will probably obtain a large amount of salt and iron, will unite with the Wuhuan people and send troops from the east and west sides of Youzhou at the same time.
It will definitely be impossible to recover... At that time, we can only retreat to Jizhou and give up Youzhou..."
"If this is the case, Yuyang's current garrison is less than five thousand..." Yan Liang frowned and said, "I'm afraid they can't resist the Xianbei invasion! But...here in Jicheng..."
"Jicheng naturally needs to be saved..." Tian Feng smiled, nodded and said, "The two generals are here, and someone has a plan, so why not..."
…………………………
The setting sun was like blood, the sky gradually darkened, and all the light seemed to be the color of blood.
Like an ant on a hot pot, Tian Chou anxiously stood on the city gate tower of Yuyang with a few guards. He looked at the retreating guards on the city wall, his brows furrowed and he was helpless.
The shouts of killing all around were deafening, but Tian Chou seemed to have turned a deaf ear. He stood silently like a clay sculpture, as if he had lost his soul, motionless looking at the bloody fighting scenes above and below the city, occasionally turning his head to look.
Looking to the south, I looked at the horizon, but I saw nothing these days, only the noisy Xianbei people surrounding the city.
Tian Chou had sent out three batches of troops to ask for reinforcements, but none of them could successfully break out. They were all tightly entangled by the Xianbei people who were always on guard, and eventually died on the way to ask for help.
Yuyang originally didn't have many war horses, but after sending out three batches of reinforcements, it meant that all hope was lost...
Maybe the first time, or the second time, you make a desperate move to charge all the horses in one direction, maybe the third time you change the direction of asking for help, maybe...
However, these assumptions are completely meaningless.
Marshal Su Li personally led the reserve soldiers to climb up the city wall, preparing to make the final blow and completely defeat the Han army's tenacious defense on the west wall of Yuyang. The Xianbei people used their numerical advantage to concentrate their superior forces and continued to attack without sleep.
Aiming at a point in the defensive line of the Han army, we carried out a focused attack and finally successfully tore a hole in the Yuyang City's defensive line. Now this gap has turned into a huge gap. What we need to do now is to open up a hole in the defensive line of Yuyang City.
Another blow struck the gap, completely defeating the Han army's entire defense, and the plan to occupy Yuyang City was gradually turning into reality.
Su Li roared loudly, and led a hundred of the most powerful Xianbei warriors, like wild beasts out of their cages, to fiercely attack the Han army guards on Yuyang City. The Han army soldiers lined up on the city wall more than two feet wide.
On the ground, they reluctantly formed a defensive formation, resisting the attacks of the Xianbei people and never taking a step back. The two sides were intertwined, and every time they advanced or retreated, it meant that an unknown number of both sides would fall.
Soldier's body.
Su Li climbed over the city wall, roared, and rushed into the array with his battle ax, instantly smashing the Han army's garrison array to pieces!
Xianbei was immediately inspired, and all cheered. They roared, shouted, and rushed towards the Han soldiers guarding the city like crazy, pushing the Han army's line back continuously.
"Your Majesty!" the guard standing next to Tian Chou said eagerly, "Retreat! If we don't retreat, it may be too late!"
Tian Chou closed his eyes in pain. He knew that Yuyang City was about to fall...
The overall defense of Yuyang City is about to collapse due to the loss of the west city wall. Then the west city gate will inevitably be breached, and then the whole city will fall into the hands of the Xianbei people.
Yuyang City is about to be destroyed...
…………………………
Wen Chou led three thousand cavalry and arrived at the southern suburbs of Yuyang before sunset.
Under the shining of the setting sun, Yuyang City was ablaze with blood, fierce sounds of fighting, low horn horns, mixed with the rushing drums of the defenders, and the noisy shouts of both sides, all gathered together to form a huge
The roar was like two wild beasts biting and fighting each other fiercely before nightfall, with fur flying and flesh and blood splashing everywhere.
Wen Chou vaguely saw that the flag representing the Han army was still flying over Yuyang City, and he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he lived up to the hopes of generals Yuan Shao and Tian Feng. When Yuyang City was at its most critical, he gathered almost all the troops.
All the cavalry that could be taken away were brought here in order to reach the foot of Yuyang City without the Xianbei people noticing.
Wen Chou frowned and observed the battlefield in the distance, his long hair scattered on his shoulders flying in the dusk wind from time to time.
Except for some formal occasions, Wen Chou didn't like to wear a douche. This seemed to be somewhat similar to the Hu people. It seemed that he was born not to like it. Therefore, even if Yan Liang persuaded him, he didn't like to wear it. Although the douche may have a certain effect.
It had a protective effect, but Wen Chou felt uncomfortable and inconvenient. He would rather wear his hair disheveled than wear a hood.
Wen Chou waved his hand, and several middle-level non-commissioned officers, army chiefs, and other officers gathered together and came forward.
"Look!" Wen Chou pointed with his hand and said, "The Xianbei people have gone crazy! Normally, according to the weather, this time should be the time for repairs, but have you seen the huge bonfire lit over there? This shows that Xianbei
If the people are not prepared to retreat, they will continue to attack Yuyang City all night long! This group of mad dogs must be very tired after attacking Yuyang day and night! Although we have come all the way, it is also very hard, but compared to attacking in the wild
For the Xianbei people who cannot rest in the city, we actually take advantage!"
"So, I am going to launch a surprise attack from the side and rear of the Xianbei people. The center will be the front, which I will personally lead. I will mainly split and destroy the Xianbei people's formation. You will lead the two wings respectively..." Wen Chou ordered two military princes.
, continued, "You two are mainly just holding multiple flags, driving forward to keep the Xianbei people who destroyed the array from stopping! It's going to be dark, and the Xianbei people don't know what we are.
How many people are there? These Xianbei people who are left behind must be replaced by tired soldiers who have already served the city. If we want them to run away in fear, we can push them over in one go and directly attack the opponent's base.
Formation!"
"Do you all know what you are doing?" Wen Chou looked around and saw that no one raised any objections, so he waved his hand and said, "Go down and prepare, organize the queue, and prepare to attack!"
Immediately, the middle-level military academy dispersed and entered the queue. The orderly soldiers were running around in the dim dusk, and the queue began to take shape little by little.
"Hmph..." Until now, no scouts from Xianbei have come. Wen Chou looked at the firelight above the head of the west city of Yuyang, "Does this mean he thought he had captured Yuyang, so he didn't send any scouts? Hum, hum,
No matter what, just die!"
Wen Chou raised his long sword high, and then slashed it down. He exerted force on his legs and the horse was in pain. He let out a long neigh and galloped out first. The guards and others on the side quickly followed, and soon the cavalry of the brigade also followed.
After Wen Chou died, he went to Xianbei outside Yuyang City to kill.
We are getting closer and closer to Yuyang City.
Wen Chou could see the swaying figures above and below the city, the fire and blood between the swords and guns; he could hear the shouts and screams on the battlefield, the collision of swords and guns, the horns of horns below the city, and the sound of war drums on the city.
; He could smell the smell of blood floating in the air, the burnt smell after burning, these senses of sight, hearing and smell, as well as the tragedy and pain that permeated the battlefield, the stimulating Wen Chou's adrenaline surged, and he raised his sword high
He raised his head and roared: "Kill these Xianbei dogs!"
The thundering sound of horse hooves became clearer and louder, and finally turned into a continuous roar, covering up the sounds of fighting on the city top.
The Xianbei people were panic-stricken. Even the horses under their crotches were pacing uneasily, neighing lowly. Where did this cavalry come from?
Su Li suddenly dropped his opponent from the garrison, took a few steps back and lay down on the bloody battlement, looking in the direction where the sound of horse hooves came from, only to see Wen Chou's cavalry divided into three parts and sweeping in from the horizon!
Su Li's expression changed drastically, and he roared at the top of his lungs: "Blow the trumpet! Arrange defense! The enemy attacks, attacks..."
However, everything was too late. If Suli was no longer above the city, he might be able to organize a defense in time. However, Xianbei's main attention was all on the west gate, and they were already preparing to queue into the city. How could they expect that there would be a sudden attack from behind?
Such a group of Han cavalry?
Wen Chou waved his long knife and shouted: "God bless the man! Kill him!"
The cavalry that followed also echoed: "Kill!"
The sound of killing suddenly sounded, shaking the whole Yuyang. More Han people heard the shouts outside the city. They also used all their strength to echo together with tears in their eyes. They followed behind and shouted: "Kill."
!Kill!Kill!”
Amidst the thunderous shouts of killing, Wen Chou's cavalry roared, roared, and roared all the way like a flood that broke a dike. With the wind and thunder all over the sky, they rushed into the Xianbei city with thunderous momentum and destroyed everything.
