For Wei Yan, merit seems to be his greatest pursuit in his life, so when he knew that Le Jin retreated, he immediately chased and bit him.
Wei Yan felt that Le Jin's head would be a very good cornerstone for him to reach the peak.
In the mountains, Wei Yan looked at his military academy and said, "Say it again, you can't fight. If you can kill, you can't kill, you can't force it... Have you ever seen a tiger or leopard? They never do things that take risks... The head level is very good, but if you are injured, you will have to save your life! Do you remember it?"
For the current medical conditions of the great man, even if Fei Qiang's army is equipped with some healing ointments and disinfected alcohol, it is impossible to completely avoid the inflammation of the wound. Especially under such complex conditions, if the wound cannot be thoroughly cleaned and the wound ulceration is a disaster for most people.
Wei Yan said, scanning everyone. Although he spoke very seriously and seriously, he did not see any fear in his eyes, only a look of excitement.
Wei Yan nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand, "Each team set out one after another according to the number!"
Wei Yan broke up the entire army without any division, following Le Jin and Zhao Yan's remaining soldiers like wolves. In this way, Wei Yan only needs to lead the core troops to organize, coordinate, arrange, and count military achievements when necessary.
Wei Yan was relatively relaxed, and Le Jin and Zhao Yan were in trouble.
Senior generals of the Cao army like Le Jin and Zhao Yan can still receive good care even if they are injured.
But ordinary Cao's soldiers could only be constantly injured, left behind, and then died during Wei Yan's pursuit.
During this process, it was not without Cao's soldiers trying to struggle to death, but unfortunately, the resistance of Cao's soldiers was ineffective most of the time without an effective organization...
It’s like meeting a group of wolves in the mountains, who can defend against the front and behind the back. If you pay attention to the flank, you will be attacked by the other side.
More importantly, after the Cao army was defeated, morale collapsed. Most people thought that as long as they could run past the guys around them, why bother turning back in one fell swoop? It would be better to take advantage of the other party's siege and kill other people.
Therefore, in this mountain forest, Wei Yan and the others had already regarded Cao's soldiers as prey. The prey was running, and they only needed to attack carefully to avoid the damage caused by the prey's dying struggle.
Taihang Mountain is equal. In the mountains, everyone has two legs. Even the four legs of animals can walk faster.
The defeated generals of Cao's army were moving forward, and everyone was depressed and there was no decent queue.
『Swish swish...』
A few sharp sounds of breaking through the air, and then several Cao army soldiers fell to the ground screaming.
Cao's military academy was mixed in the queue. When he heard the screams, he even turned around for a while and directly shrank his head and walked forward.
In order not to attract attention, Cao Jun Military Academy even changed into the robes of ordinary soldiers, holding a sword crookedly, and walking forward like a stick.
After several attacks, these Cao army military academies have also summarized a simple rule. If they stand up and command soldiers when they are attacked, they will often become the target of the next attack.
He already had several colleagues who died in such a situation. Instead, he did nothing, and the cunning Hussar soldiers could not tell which middle-level non-commissioned officer was a garrison.
...
...
Zhao Yan found Le Jin.
"It won't work if this continues."
Zhao Yan was injured by an arrow, but not a close-range arrow, but a stray arrow shot from the top of the city, so his injury was lighter than Le Jin.
Le Jin was injured in his leg. Normally, he should be lying down to recuperate. But in the current Taihang Mountains, where can heal Le Jin?
『…』Le Jin was silent.
On the one hand, it is the current situation, and everyone knows it is very difficult. On the other hand, Le Jin has not had a good rest after being injured. Now he is exhausted and doesn't even want to say more.
"Give me your armor and my flag..." Zhao Yan said slowly, "I'll camp here to block them..."
Le Jin suddenly looked up and stared at Zhao Yan.
『According to my estimate, I can block them here for at least three days...』 Zhao Yan pointed to the surrounding terrain, 『Look, there is a flat mountain over there, and the top of the mountain just can cover the road here... I asked some people to go up the mountain, and some people are at the foot of the mountain to form a horn to block the pursuers behind... If the pursuers want to cross here, they either have to take a detour or have to attack...』
Zhao Yan stretched out three fingers, "Three days... I can only guarantee three days at most... After three days, even if they want to chase... As long as General Le, you cover up the traces, it will be difficult for them to chase..."
Le Jin frowned, "...why?"
If you escape, there is still a glimmer of hope. If you stay, you will basically die.
Zhao Yan sat next to Le Jin and looked up at the sky.
The ridge blocked the view and could only see the dark and gloomy sky.
『In my hometown, there are not so many mountains...』 Zhao Yan smiled, his voice was light, 『There are fields around him... Now at this time, there should be many farmers preparing for spring plowing... But if the country cannot be stable, how can the people farm with peace of mind? In the past, Dong thief slaughtered Yang City in February, carrying his head back to Luo, saying that the attack on the thief was a big catch, and the people of Heluo were encouraged by the encouragement... Haha... The martial man governed the country like this... Later, I heard that the lord welcomed the emperor, managed water conservancy in Yingchuan, and opened up land and farming, and I knew what I should do...』
Le Jin was silent.
"I haven't been to Guanzhong. I don't know how good Guanzhong is. I just know that when the people of Xiliang killed Yingchuan, they didn't hold back at all! Now, what do you say is that Liang Yongyu Ji is a family? Then when the people of Yangcheng were killed and those innocent people lied to be thieves, did you ever think that they were all family members?!"
Zhao Yan's voice was very flat, as if anger had condensed into ink marks and was imprinted in his heart.
"The cavalry is very strong, indeed, but he wants to change the laws of his ancestors, which is a sin! I don't know that the rules set by the ancestors are a bit outdated, but they should be changed slowly and should not be overturned like the cavalry! This is a great evil! On the surface, it seems like a great evil of good deeds!"
"Human greed is endless. I give you a canoe today, and I want one liter tomorrow. I get another liter every day. I want one stone. If I don't want it, I won't be happy. Even if I get one liter earlier, I will forget all the graces of one liter earlier! The cavalry gave kindness to the ignorant people, which encouraged the greed of these people! Dong Zhe used the Xiliang soldiers to ask for money, food, and pay, what if they were gone? Now the cavalry is in Guanzhong to raise soldiers, but what if they expand to the world? Will all the income of the Han Dynasty be used to raise soldiers? What about the people? When these soldiers are in a difficult situation, it will be difficult for Yangcheng to reappear!"
"Is the pre-Qin Emperor powerful, or the current cavalry? Is the founding Emperor of the Han Dynasty powerful, or the current cavalry? When Emperor Gaozu reunified the world, did he know that every county in the world had problems? Even if it was a strong Qin Dynasty, how could the differences between different places be discussed? Emperor Gaozu was very talented and made up the world with Huang Lao, and the counties and counties in various places were safe."
"Imagine that the people of Yuzhou do not know what Jizhou is trying to do, so is it okay to use Yuzhou to govern Jizhou? What's more, the world is so great? It's so wrong to try to rule the world with the Guanzhong law."
"In trouble now, Yan Yi's scholars cherish his mediocre martial arts and cannot defeat strong enemies..." Zhao Yan turned his head and looked at Le Jin, "In the future, he wants to fight Xiliang and conquer all directions. General Le is much more important than me... Therefore, this time, let me take the lead!"
Le Jin took a breath, and he had to admit that he was in trouble.
It's nothing to defeat a war.
Since Cao Cao started his army, he has not won every battle. He has been forced into desperate situations many times, but he can still stand up again. Therefore, Le Jin also believes that even if Cao Cao is defeated this time, he can still make a comeback.
But this is a bigger and more profound strategic matter, and Le Jin is not qualified to say anything. For him, of course, he hopes that he can continue to fight when Cao Cao makes a comeback, rather than die in a frustrated manner on the unknown mountain road in the Taihang Mountains. He can accept the temporary setback, but he cannot accept the final conclusion, indicating that Le Jin is a waste.
He also wanted to set up an ambush to kill Wei Yan who was following behind, but his injuries were not allowed, and his supplies were also not allowed.
Le Jin looked at Zhao Yan and asked again, "Why?"
Zhao Yan looked up at the sky, "This weather... General Le, if you don't make a decision... it's possible that you and I can't get out... Rather than doing this, it's better to protect one... You keep half of your remaining troops and then leave the wounded..."
Zhao Yan took out a jade ring from his arms, rubbed it in his hand, and handed it to Le Jin, "My home is in Anlefang, West Street, Yangzicheng... If something happens, my little family still hopes that the general will take care of him..."
Le Jin stood up and bowed deeply to Zhao Yan solemnly.
Zhao Yan did not avoid Le Jin's gift, but just smiled, and handed the jade ring in his hand forward.
...
...
A few birds of different lengths sounded in the mountains and forests.
Wei Yan listened for a while and said in surprise: "Cao Army will not leave?"
Old Ma next to Wei Yan said, "These thieves want to fight to the death with us?"
Wei Yan pondered for a moment, "It is possible that if you are too impatient, you will always jump into the wall... Go ahead and take a look..."
In the mountain road, some wood and stones were temporarily piled up to form a simple horse-rejecting wall. Some Cao's soldiers were behind the horse-rejecting wall and stared at Wei Yan's direction.
On the top of the hill on one side of the mountain road, a battle flag with the word "Le" fluttered in the wind.
The battle flag was slightly broken and covered with some blood.
Under the battle flag, several armored guards were patrolling around.
Wei Yanyin was behind a big stone, revealing half of his head, observing and marching, and gently tickled, "I really chose a good place..."
Wei Yan could see that these Cao army soldiers were abandoned.
But now the problem is that you either fight or go around, but no matter which one you choose, it will take time, and what the other party needs most is time.
"It's just a little bit." Wei Yan sighed, "If all the morale of Cao's army is consumed in two days, then even if they want to lose the car and protect the coach, they will not be able to find a suitable person..."
"What should I do, Lord?" Lao Ma asked.
Wei Yan laughed twice, "Do you still need to ask? Of course, you can hit me, otherwise why are we chasing us all the way?"
Lao Ma said: "I saw someone piled up stones on the top of the mountain... These guys seemed to be trying their best. If they were really hit, there would definitely be a lot of damage."
Wei Yan retreated from behind the stone and smiled, "I know what this place is called?"
Old horse shook his head.
'It's called Killing Tongling!' Wei Yan pointed to the Cao army, 'It's a pity that the pigs are put on it, so it's not a pity if they don't kill them?"
『Ah?』 Lao Ma looked at Wei Yan with admiration, 『All the Lord knows what the hill here is called?』
Wei Yan smiled and said nothing.
How could he know what this nameless hill is called?
But starting today, this place is called Killingling.
Because Wei Yan wants to kill pigs here.
Although it seemed that these Cao troops were ready to fight to the death, Wei Yan did not take these Cao troops into consideration at all...
So Wei Yan suffered a loss.
Wei Yan wanted to attack the sneak attack that night, but Zhao Yan had expected that Wei Yan would play this trick. He deliberately hung some iron pieces and small mechanisms for warnings on the hillside. Although it could not cause any direct damage to the soldiers attacked by Wei Yan, it exposed the location of these Wei Yan soldiers.
『Bang!』
The stone was pushed down from the top of the mountain and rolled down the hillside.
"Find a cover to lie down!"
A veteran shouted.
At this time, experience determines everything.
A slightly higher stone or tree stump can help you, and running around may send yourself under the stone, or you may fall into the mountain stream through the air.
A few screams sounded, and Wei Yan's face turned ashen.
The night attack failed.
The next day, Wei Yan could only attack steadily and attack head-on.
On the top of the Wuming Mountain, Zhao Yan looked at Wei Yan's array.
"This is to attack the east and west..." Zhao Yan turned his head and said, "These people in front of him are not moving for a long time, so there must be a fraud! Send a few people to the back mountain to stare..."
Zhao Yan's original plan was to ambush Wei Yan first, but he did not expect that Wei Yan's scout was more keen than he thought, so he had to give up the plan to fall rocks in the middle of the mountain road and could only confront Wei Yan head-on.
Ambush can't be set up so simply.
Anyone who sees the opponent's soldiers will think of ambushing and will investigate in advance.
Therefore, if you want to successfully ambush, you need to lure the enemy, or even send someone to pretend to be defeated and lure Wei Yan over.
But Zhao Yan's current soldiers could not seduce the enemy and could not do this.
The morale is insufficient and most of the wounded soldiers are in danger. If you retreat, you may be defeated. So you can only set up a formation and force Wei Yan to attack. Although Zhao Yan also cracked Wei Yan's night attack, this is not a great thing, because as long as you have some military experience, you will know that you should be on guard.
And the test has just begun now...
Wei Yan stared at the mountain and looked at Zhao Yan's figure. Wei Yan didn't know Le Jin, so he thought Zhao Yan was Le Jin. After all, it was impossible to hang his name high three feet above his head like in a game.
The sneak attack failed last night, and Wei Yan's subordinates lost five people.
This made Wei Yan really serious.
Speak east and attack west.
That's right, Wei Yan just beats the west, but his hits the east and the west are not really just a simple hit to the east and the west.
The noise of the back mountain sounded, and then the sound of rolling stones falling.
Wei Yan's mouth raised a little.
Come on, let's smash it hard!
The rolling stones at night are not easy to hide because they are invisible, but the rolling stones at daytime are not that scary.
Although the terrain of the "Killing Tongling" that Zhao Yan chose is indeed good, it was not carefully selected after all, and it can only be said to be relatively good, so it left Wei Yan with a flaw that can attack.
The power of falling rocks is indeed very great. Whether you are caught or touched, you will either be killed or injured.
But what if it was neither encountered nor encountered?
The stones thrown from the top of the mountain have various edges and angles, and the center of gravity is not consistent. This makes it possible for the stone to escape from the hand, and the stones to fly by themselves, and the landing point cannot be accurately controlled.
At the same time, when the stone falls, it will roll and bounce. If it hides in the recess of the stone or behind a thick tree stump, unless it happens to fall into the groove, then the experienced and elite soldiers under Wei Yan can most of them avoid the embrace of death.
If you really get hit, you will have bad luck, just like you hide in the shell crater and then get hit by the second shell when you were bombarded in later generations.
Then the most important question is that Zhao Yan's "cannonballs" are not infinite. Although the top of the mountain is rugged and a large piece is full of stones, it is not so easy to pick out the stones from under your feet and then smash them down.
Although Zhao Yan quickly discovered Wei Yan's "Speaking East and West", he actually planned to consume the stones accumulated by Zhao Yan and then ordered his subordinates to save some use, but no matter how much they save, they would use up the light. When the sky got darker, the stones accumulated for a long time were used up...
Wei Yan shouted loudly, assaulted from both sides and rushed straight to the top of the mountain.
After losing the powerful killing weapon of Rolling Stone Ring Wood, these remaining soldiers under Zhao Yan were no match for the elite soldiers under Wei Yan. Even if Zhao Yan personally took the sword to fight on the front line, it would be useless.
Although Le Jin left some elite troops to Zhao Yan, most of the other Cao army soldiers were wounded and could not resist the majestic soldiers like wolves and tigers.
Chapter completed!
