The reason why Yan Yan showed such an expression was the thousands of Xiliang troops in front of him. Although their general Li Xian had died under Yan Yan's sword, Yan Yan could see from the faces of these Xiliang troops.
There was no expression of panic or fear, as if Yan Yan had just killed an unrelated person!
"There's something weird!" Yan Yan immediately felt the difference between this Xiliang army and the general army! Obviously, the soldiers of this army have almost no emotions and don't care about the life or death of their generals! And such an army is also the most terrifying.
Yes, because they are basically not affected by external emotions and can exert their full combat effectiveness at any time and anywhere! But don’t think it is easy to do this, and I don’t know how Dong Zhuo trained such a person.
With an army, no wonder the Xiliang army can dominate the world!
"Retreat!" After a moment of silence, an officer of the Xiliang Army who looked like a leader raised his hands and shouted loudly, even as he commanded the Xiliang Army to retreat one after another.
Nearly five hundred steps away. But when they retreated, there was no confusion in their formation. Especially the rows of soldiers closest to Yan Yan were facing Yan Yan and retreating backwards!
The opponent just retreated, but Yan Yan did not dare to pursue the victory! Because he knew that Li Xian's death had no impact on the Xiliang army at all. The opponent temporarily retreated because there was no command from the general and they could not proceed.
It’s just the next plan! If Yan Yan rushes to pursue him at this time, he will only end up with a disastrous defeat!
"Let's go back!" Seeing the Xiliang army retreating five hundred steps, Yan Yan sighed softly, pulled the reins, and shouted to the soldiers and horses behind him: "Clean up, let's retreat to the city.
!" Just by looking at the actions of the Xiliang Army, Yan Yan can be sure that the defenders in Xingyang City are definitely no match for these Xiliang Army! Why not retreat to the city for the time being! Those soldiers naturally obeyed Yan Yan and sent them
Several people collected the body of Li Xian, the Xiliang army general who had just been killed by Yan Yan, and followed Yan Yan back to the city.
After reaching the top of the city, Wang Xian, Ling Bao and a group of garrison soldiers gathered around. Wang Xian smiled and said to Yan Yan: "General Yan! It's really amazing! With you here! We in Xingyang must be
It's foolproof!" Just after Wang Xian finished speaking, all the soldiers around him echoed his words and expressed their agreement.
Yan Yan didn't think so in his heart, but now he was surrounded by garrison soldiers. The morale that Yan Yan had just managed to improve through that battle had just been raised. If Yan Yan had revealed the problem, I'm afraid it would be the opposite.
It affects the morale of the army. Therefore, Yan Yan could only feel helpless in response to Wang Xian's words, but his face was full of smiles.
Yan Yan's smile was nothing in the eyes of others, but when Lingbao saw it, he felt less comfortable. In his opinion, Yan Yan's smile seemed like he was showing off his achievements.
, especially when Lingbao remembered how timid he had been when he tried to dissuade Yan Yan, he felt even worse. When Lingbao was standing by, he snorted coldly: "In that case, why not take advantage of the victory to pursue it and completely defeat the enemy!
"
Lingbao's words were like pouring a bucket of cold water on everyone's heads. Everyone around him suddenly looked at each other. Everyone could hear that Lingbao's words contained a strong sourness.
I'm afraid that Lingbao is dissatisfied with Yan Yan. These soldiers are just small people. No matter how they dare to get involved in these things, they all quietly dispersed and went to do their own things. Wang Xian also had a look on his face at the moment.
Staring at Lingbao dissatisfied, he hummed: "Lingbao! What do you mean by this!"
Wang Xian has a straight temper. Although he was dissatisfied with Yan Yan becoming his boss before, he couldn't stand Ling Bao. Now that he heard that Ling Bao was making trouble unreasonably, Wang Xian immediately started to get angry. Look at him.
Like that, if Lingbao couldn't give a reasonable explanation, he might have to draw his sword! And after Lingbao just said those words, he immediately regretted it, but now there are so many subordinates watching on the city.
He couldn't lose face, so why should he gain a foothold in the army in the future? Faced with Wang Xian's question, Lingbao could only bite the bullet and hum: "It's meaningless! I just think that since General Yan has already defeated the enemy general
To kill, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue and wipe out all the Xiliang troops outside the city. If we just return to the city like this, isn't this a waste of opportunity?"
At this time, even Yan Yan, who had always been calm, became angry. He snorted coldly and shouted in a low voice: "Lingbao! Don't talk nonsense! Things on this battlefield are not what you said.
Easy? Although the enemy general is dead, the enemy's morale has not dispersed and their formation has not been disordered. If we attack rashly, we will only encounter a fierce counterattack by the enemy! We are stationed in Xingyang under the order of the lord. The stakes are so important, how can we have the slightest chance?
accident?"
If Yan Yan had said these words at the beginning, maybe Lingbao would still be afraid, but after Yan Yan killed the enemy general of the Xiliang army just now, Lingbao couldn't help but feel the fear of the Xiliang army outside the city.
It has been reduced a lot. From Lingbao's point of view now, the Xiliang army is just some showmanship. It looks very powerful, but in fact it is simply vulnerable! Therefore, Lingbao does not believe Yan Yan's explanation at all.
He also shouted: "Yan Yan! Don't try to scare me! You are not the only one in this army who knows how to fight! Who has ever heard that his general was beheaded, and the morale of the army will not be affected? Let me see! You just don't have it.
That courage is just a matter of timidity! But you have to make so many excuses for no reason!"
"You!" Yan Yan was about to be driven crazy by Lingbao, and Wang Xian, who was beside him, was also furious. He simply put his hand on the handle of the single sword at his waist, strode forward, and was about to fight with Lingbao.
Bao Bao used the knife! Thanks to Yan Yan's calm temperament, he quickly suppressed his anger, stopped Wang Xian with one hand, and shouted in a deep voice: "Ling Bao! What on earth do you want to do?"
Lingbao was also riding a tiger now. Seeing the sarcasm in the eyes of Yan Yan and Wang Xian, as well as the whispers of the soldiers around him, Lingbao couldn't help it anymore and shouted directly: "I don't want to do anything! I just want to prove it to you.
Look, what you Yan Yan can do, I, Lingbao, can do the same! And I can do it better than you!" After saying that, Lingbao directly raised his spear and ran down.
At the top of the city, he gathered his more than a hundred soldiers and horses, opened the city gate and rushed out.
Seeing that Lingbao didn't say anything and just left the city, Yan Yan was shocked. Wang Xian on the side stopped Yan Yan in turn this time and sneered: "General Yan
! Let him go! When he suffers, he will know the gap between him and you! Humph! It is best to let this kid die outside the city! Never come back!"
"This." Yan Yan was obviously hesitant. After all, the situation is urgent now. With more strength, there will be more hope for them to defend Xingyang City! Yan Yan is not very confident about defending Xingyang this time.
It was possible that he would live up to his lord's expectations. However, he looked back at Lingbao who had just rushed out of the city and thought the other way around. The hearts of Lingbao and the two of them were not on the same line.
If this guy is in the city, he might be a disaster sooner or later! Anyway, Lingbao doesn't bring many troops, so it won't hurt the defenders at all, so let him go!
Besides, after Lingbao rushed out of the city gate with his troops and horses, he felt a little uneasy. But when he looked up, the ground not far ahead was still stained with the blood of Li Xian, who had just been killed by Yan Yan with a knife. Lingbao
He couldn't help but feel a little more confident in his heart. Immediately, Lingbao raised his spear and shouted to the subordinates behind him: "Everyone, follow me and charge! I have driven away the enemy, and everyone will be heavily rewarded!"
"Kill!" In any case, Lingbao is their immediate superior after all. The superior has orders, how dare these soldiers disobey orders? Immediately, under the leadership of Lingbao, these more than a hundred soldiers began to attack.
Not far ahead, the "frightened" enemies rushed over and in a blink of an eye, they were in front of the Xiliang army's formation.
But seeing Lingbao's soldiers and horses approaching, the Xiliang army seemed to be really afraid of Lingbao, and they retreated hundreds of steps. Seeing this, Lingbao couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Come on, these Xiliang troops were really frightened by Yan Yan just now! God help me! Yan Yan worked so hard to kill the enemy general, but the result is for me to enjoy! Immediately, Lingbao
He even put down all his baggage, rushed to the front, and charged towards the Xiliang troops. The excited Lingbao did not realize that those Xiliang troops, who in his eyes were already on the verge of collapse, even if they retreated
At that time, there was no chaos in the military formation. The eyes of every Xiliang Army soldier were full of fighting spirit and murderous intent!
Lingbao didn't notice, but Yan Yan, who was watching the battle on the top of the city, did. Seeing this, Yan Yan finally couldn't help but sigh. But Wang Xian, who had been with Yan Yan for a hundred years, mistakenly thought that
Yan Yan regretted not attacking in time just now. He only saw thousands of Xiliang troops choosing to retreat when facing the attack of more than a hundred people from Lingbao, so he had the same idea as Lingbao.
Glancing at Yan Yan, Wang Xian couldn't help but persuade him: "General Yan! It doesn't matter! The main credit for this battle is yours! If you hadn't killed the enemy general, how could Lingbao have picked up such a one?
Great opportunity!”
Hearing what Wang Xian said, Yan Yan knew that Wang Xian had misunderstood him, and immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly: "General Wang! You are wrong! This time, I'm afraid Lingbao is doomed! Look at those things
When the Liang army retreated, there was no confusion in the formation. Rather than fleeing out of fear, it was clearly to lure the enemy deeper and to lure Lingbao further away from the attack point at the top of the city! In this way, they
When launching an attack, you don’t have to worry about the archers on the top of the city!”
