In the rain and fog, the Hanchang defenders who came from the streets on all sides were unable to resist Wei Yan's advance. Only then did Lingbao appear in the middle of the street, rushing towards him, but what he saw was what was left of the west gate.
The remaining soldiers had lost the courage to resist, and either staggered away, or scurried away with their heads in their hands. They just shouted: "The thieves are powerful! The thieves are powerful!"
Noisy sounds came from outside the city, and strong men kept rushing in from the city gate, holding knives and fighting along the straight road towards the city gate tower, while the defenders on the west city gate had to step back.
After retreating, people screamed and fell from the city wall from time to time. With a muffled thud, they fell into the muddy water, dyeing the area near the city gate a dark red.
Those advancing and retreating, pushing each other on the street, became a mess and became more and more out of formation.
Lingbao couldn't help but shouted loudly, trying to stabilize the morale of the army and rearrange the queue, so as to hope to drive out the "thieves" who came in. Lingbao knew that at this moment, there must be no chaos, otherwise it would lead to riots among the people in the city.
When the time comes when every household begins to flee from home like a frightened bird, these troops of our own will be like a drop in the bucket and will be directly overwhelmed by the frantic trend!
"I have always been friendly with Wang Du! You belong to that leader! How dare you attack Hanchang!" Lingbao commanded the soldiers to rejoin the group and shouted loudly, "If I retreat immediately, I can forgive you.
If you persist in your stubbornness, you and other nine tribes will be killed!"
Lingbao actually expected to be able to retreat with a few words, but he just took the opportunity of the conversation to reorganize the defeated soldiers, but he did not expect that Wei Yan on the opposite side was actually making the same plan.
Even though Wei Yan was extremely brave, he was still made of flesh and blood after all. Running all the way, intercepting, slashing and chasing the defenders at the city gate, coupled with the rainy and foggy weather, the physical exertion was extremely huge. At this moment, he was also
I had to take advantage of this rare opportunity to adjust my breathing and regain my strength.
The elite soldiers behind Wei Yan were all panting at this time, exhaling long breaths in the rain and fog, sweat and rain mixed together. Some people even appeared to be a little weak, and even the originally calm swords became weak.
Some trembled.
Lingbao thought that his words had an effect, so he felt somewhat proud, "...If you kneel down and surrender, I won't go into details for the sake of the king! If not, I will definitely take your lives!"
Wei Yan still stood in the street without saying a word, blocking Lingbao's way.
In order to ensure that they would not be discovered in advance by Hanchang's defenders, Wei Yan did not send all the large troops to follow them at once, so now they are still catching up in small groups, and it will still take a certain amount of time for the large troops to arrive here.
.
On the west wall of Hanchang City, although the defenders saw Lingbao coming to help, they resisted vigorously. However, in terms of personal combat power, even though Wei Yan and other soldiers who conquered the west consumed a lot of physical strength, they were still dead in terms of experience and skills.
The defenders were tightly pinned down, and there was not much room for movement on the city wall. Even though there were more soldiers, they could not form an encirclement. In addition, the weather was rainy and foggy, and they could not even fire their bows, so they were gradually surrounded by Wei Yan.
His men had the upper hand, and screams rang out one after another.
Lingbao couldn't hold it any longer. Seeing more and more people coming from outside the city gate, he also felt that something was wrong. It didn't look like a pure rebellion, so he didn't bother to completely organize the array, so he
He took out a long spear, raised his arms and shouted: "Kill him! Take back the city gate!"
At this moment, Wei Yan had also recovered some strength, and he went through all kinds of hardships over the mountains and ridges, and finally got out of the mountains. The taste of this made Wei Yan not want to try it again even if he had a heart as strong as iron!
Therefore, seeing Lingbao coming forward, Wei Yan also shouted in a deep voice: "Kill! Kill them all! Hanchang will belong to us from now on!"
The soldiers on both sides shouted in unison and collided head-on. Some people were injured and fell down, but the others did not look at them. They just continued to wave their swords and guns fiercely with red eyes, roaring loudly and slashing at one place.
The sound of the blade cutting into bone and flesh is like a butcher on the chopping board waving the machete quickly to chop the bones.
In such an environment, a human life is worse than a dog!
Spears stabbed randomly, knives and guns were either interlaced or colliding in the air. The two sides fighting in one place turned the rain in the sky into blood in an instant. Those who fell had already fallen, and those who had not yet fallen had fallen.
He was also wounded all over, and he just wanted to have someone to support him before he died.
Lingbao had already rushed to the front of the formation, shouting to boost morale while trying to break out of Wei Yan's army formation. Lingbao had also served as a general in Sichuan for many years. How could he not know that Hanchang had a strong influence on Brazil County?
The importance of it? Therefore, after seeing Wei Yan's soldiers being so brave and not taking a step back even if they were injured, I felt a little uneasy in my heart. People would never be like this!
Could it be...
Impossible, impossible!
Why did the soldiers from Zhengxi appear here?!
While Lingbao was denying all this in his mind, he pushed forward with all his strength with his soldiers, putting pressure on Wei Yan's array, trying to seize the west gate again, and then press Wei Yan and others out of the city gate, so as to save Hanchang!
"Children in front! Spread left and right!"
Wei Yan's deep voice sounded in the array, seeming to have a unique metallic dull resonance.
The array split to the left and right, revealing a row of heavily armored men. The leader was naturally Wei Yan. Wei Yan made a false slash with the long-handled Mo Dao in his hand, and the long and sharp blade flashed through the air like a bolt of lightning.
, shook off the blood and rain stained on the blade, and a dull voice came out from behind the mask: "You guys, die!"
Before, Wei Yan was hidden in the military formation and did not show up. He was wearing heavy armor with the help of the soldiers. On the one hand, the number of such full-body heavy armor was limited, and Xu Shu did not have many in his hands. On the other hand, Shandao
It was difficult to walk, so Wei Yan only brought thirty sets, and had to share the load among many people. The yellow dirt road outside the city was difficult to walk even if he wore armor. Now that he entered the city, the ground was mostly stone slabs, so he stayed behind.
When the soldiers brought this batch of heavy armor up, Wei Yan naturally led his men to put them on. If nothing else, wearing heavy armor makes you extremely courageous...
In such a limited street battle, as long as the heavy armored infantry still has strength, it is almost invincible. Only the heavy armored infantry can kill others. As for the opponent's counterattack, if there is no heavy weapon to beat them
, I'm really sorry, most of them are invalid.
"Who are you!" Even though Lingbao was reluctant in her heart, she realized that there was a huge error in her previous judgment.
Amidst the clanging footsteps, Wei Yan led his soldiers in heavy armor and began to push forward, "This is Wei Yan, Wei Wenchang, who is under the command of General Zhengxi!"
"Zheng Xi! It's over! It's over! They are Zheng Xi!" The Hanchang defenders suddenly panicked and their morale plummeted. After all, dealing with traitors and dealing with regular troops are two completely different concepts.
Even though they had never encountered such iron lumps on the battlefield before, the Hanchang defenders instinctively sensed that they were not easy to deal with. Facing the shining blades of Wei Yan and others, they immediately lost the courage to resist and stepped forward step by step.
He retreated, not daring to fight Wei Yan and the others.
Wei Yan remained silent, and chopped down a Hanchang soldier in front of him who was still hesitating to retreat. Under the sharp sword, the Hanchang defenders seemed to have been immediately torn apart by their heads and feet.
The same, neatly divided into two sections and fell to the ground.
The defenders of Hanchang made an outcry and immediately huddled to both sides, trying to avoid the sharp attack of Wei Yan and others.
Lingbao saw that the momentum was not right, so he could not retreat, because he knew that if he took a step back, the whole army would be immediately defeated, so he could only shout and grit his teeth and kill towards Wei Yan, even though he could not kill him.
Wei Yan attacked and killed, but also hoped to delay the resistance for a while, so that soldiers from other places could come to resist together.
In the drizzle, a leather boot stepped down, and the water on the stone slab rose into the sky!
Lingbao's face was distorted, and water droplets flew off the armor on his head. With the momentum of forward movement, he twisted his waist and breathed out his arms, and sent the spear straight. The head of the spear trembled slightly, breaking through the rain and fog, and drawing a transparent trajectory in the air.
Heading towards Wei Yan's throat!
Although the heavy armor has extremely strong defensive power, it also brings about a decrease in flexibility. Many bending and sideways movements cannot be performed. Wei Yan looked through the mask and stared at the rapidly enlarging gun head with slightly squinted eyes.
He did not dodge or dodge, but instead took up the Mo Dao with both hands, swept it diagonally upwards, and struck the handle of Lingbao's spear.
"Crack!"
Even though the handle of the spear was wrapped with hemp rope and painted with thick paint, it still could not withstand the sharpness of the Mo Dao. It was cut into two sections. The broken spear head was unable to follow up and lost its accuracy. It was hit crookedly.
Wei Yan, then bounced up and landed on the ground.
Wei Yan took advantage of Lingbao's astonishment and before he could take a step back, he made a mistake with his hands and struck out with his backhand!
In the light of the sword, Lingbao's originally twisted face suddenly stopped, and then gradually relaxed, "What a good sword...what's the name of the sword..."
"Huh?" Wei Yan didn't expect Lingbao to ask such a question, but a name popped up in his mind, "Pojun! This sword is called Pojun!"
"Well..." Lingbao fell to the sky. A huge hole appeared between his chest and abdomen, including the armor and flesh, and blood and internal organs spurted out! Lingbao seemed to be relieved, but also felt that he died in such a name.
The lower part of the knife on his head felt unjust, or he felt that he lost to Wei Yan just because of the weapon. He muttered and died, "Good knife..."
"Hmph! Of course it's a good knife!" Wei Yan raised the knife and did not look at the dead Lingbao. Instead, he stared at the Mo Dao in his hand with a hint of eagerness, and then gave a slight shock to knock away the blood on the knife.
"Come with me! Seize the city gate! County government!"
From now on, this sword is called Pojun!
From now on, Hanchang belongs to Zhengxi!
…………………………
Xiliang, Jincheng.
"Cough cough... cough cough cough..."
Li Ru was wrapped in fur, huddled in the fur, coughing continuously, as if he would break if he couldn't catch up at any moment. He stopped after a while, then slowly took out a piece of cloth and wiped it.
Wipe the saliva from the corners of your mouth and beard.
"Your illness..." Han Sui didn't even look back. He could still live with such a cough anyway. He had only seen someone like Li Ru, "...it's not a serious illness..."
Li Ru chuckled and said hoarsely: "Don't worry, I won't die for a while... What, have you figured it out?" He was willing to complain about hunger, start eating, and asked to capture the Ma family and his subordinates who participated in the robbery, massacre and burning of Han Mansion.
Qiang people, this is undoubtedly a manifestation of Han Sui regaining his sense in grief.
"..." Han Sui looked at the mess in front of him in silence.
This was once the famous Han Mansion in Jincheng, where Han Sui made his fortune. Han Sui was very familiar with every plant, tree, tile and brick here. Han Sui still remembered that the lintel at the entrance of the house was the lintel of Han Sui's house before.
When Sui was granted the title of Marquis, it was specially built on the bank, but now, there is only a bare, black, burnt, carbonized pillar...
"...Haha, if you rob it, you will rob it..." Han Sui's eyes were slightly watery. When he first arrived here, he was so sad that he fainted several times. However, after facing it for a long time, his sadness gradually calmed down and his emotions rose.
Feeling hatred, "...why are you still burning...still..."
"Do you know why Xiliang has not been able to achieve great things in these years?" Li Ru asked, standing next to Han Sui.
Han Sui lowered his head and said, "Why?"
"Over the years, the generals of Xiliang have simply made no progress..." Li Ru glanced at Han Sui slightly, then turned back to the front, looking at the remains of Han's mansion, and said, "Burn and kill, you can think of using
The only way to establish authority...it was like this when I was General Bian..."
It was Han Sui who had many families with Mie Bian Zhang.
Han Sui and Bian Zhang were old friends. When the Qiang Beigong Boyu rebelled, they took Bian Yun, who was the governor of Liangzhou at the time, and Han Yue, who was in Liangzhou, as hostages. This pair of brothers and sisters were also considered to be Westerners in the process.
The Liang people suffered from the harsh government, so they eventually became participants from hostages and joined the ranks of the rebellion.
But later, perhaps due to differences of opinion or a change in mentality during the expansion of power, Han Sui and Bian Zhang gradually had conflicts, so that Han Sui finally took action...
"Haha...you mean tit for tat?" Han Sui smiled, but the scar on his face was dancing in the smile, looking extremely ferocious, "Isn't it Dong Zhongying?"
Li Ru nodded and said: "That's true, so Dong Zhongying was defeated in the end... His reputation was ruined, his family was ruined, even his eighty-year-old mother and eight-year-old daughter were killed by swords and axes! The corpses of the three Yi tribes
If you are exposed to the wild, you will not be allowed to take it back!”
To say that Dong Zhuo's body was buried on the spot where water rushed in is simply fart!
It wasn't the disciples of the Yuan family who did something wrong at that time.
When Dong Zhuo killed Yuan Wei, none of the disciples of the Yuan family dared to fart. Then when Dong Zhuo died, he buried it in front of everyone, and then secretly asked people to dig it out, pretending to be abandoned by heaven and earth.
Waiting for words, in order to express his break with Dong Zhuo and his loyalty to the Yuan family...
A group of dogs.
Han Sui was stunned. Hearing this, he turned to look at Li Ru, but saw that Li Ru looked calm. He was stunned for a while and then said slowly: "Zhengxi... is it really worth it?"
"Shanxi will produce generals, and Shandong will produce prime ministers..." Li Ru did not directly answer Han Sui's question, "...but whether it is a general or a prime minister, together they are handsome...
