Chapter 1,212: Who is afraid of whom in a life-threatening competition?
Wei Yan had no time to hesitate.
Everyone saw the fire arrow in the distance and knew what the fire arrow represented.
They don't have time to deal with the Shanyue people here. Even if...even if they hate each other, the most important thing they should do now is to climb the mountain as soon as possible and break the city from the rear of Poyang City...
But now the biggest question arises—perhaps more than one.
The first is Liu Feng... Wei Yan himself really feels that even if Liu Feng is really left behind, the other party will not easily kill Liu Feng.
If the opponent kills Liu Feng for no reason, it will not cause trouble for himself, but will become a reason to encourage the army to fight the enemy bravely.
In addition... Wei Yan felt that the other party had listened to his words to some extent. As long as the other party did not kill Liu Feng and destroyed the city later, they would have a chance to surrender——
But... in the final analysis, Liu Feng is a general on Wei Yan's side. When attacking a city, what is important is to fight to the end. The difference between having generals and not having generals is sometimes the key to success or failure.
The other thing is the performance of the Shanyue people themselves.
Although the combat ability of the Shanyue people on the frontal battlefield cannot be said to be outstanding, compared with Wei Yan and others of the regular army, there is always a gap of one to two levels.
But the problem is that the other party also knows this.
After being defeated in a head-on confrontation, the other party simply gave up on their plan to fight head-on - just because their goals changed.
Fei Zhan's sense of smell was very keen... He noticed that Wei Yan and the soldiers around Wei Yan suddenly became uncontrollably agitated——
Plus…
"Boss Fei! Just now...just now a fire arrow appeared in the sky. It seemed to be shot from the front battlefield. Could this be..."
Lao Lin reached Fei Zhan from the side of the forest with a vigorous figure. As soon as he got close, he informed the other party of what he had discovered.
"It seems right, this should be a signal for the enemy to fight... Wei Yan is so anxious, it should be that General He is already fighting with the opponent... at least... at least he will not be able to escape in a short time."
In fact, at this point, Fei Zhan and others' inferences were all based on guesswork. They didn't know what the time of the other party's signal release meant. Based on subjective inference, Fei Zhan only thought that He Qi might really be entangled by the other party.
Got——
"Then...then we really have to put all our wealth here and fight against this Wei Yan?"
Lao Lin swallowed... When he heard that He Qi couldn't escape, he became a little anxious.
After all... After all, they are Shanyue people, and they have been friends for so many years. They are as close as clan members, and it is really unacceptable for Lao Lin to make them fight for their lives.
Nowadays, many of the young people they have on hand are all men who were brought together by Lao Lin. The relationship between these people and Lao Lin is even closer than the relationship with Fei Zhan...
Fei Zhan was a little silent.
"Boss! Wei Yan and the others are about to advance!"
Just when there was silence, an exclamation came from his companions. Fei Zhan ignored the entanglement in his heart and immediately asked everyone to follow Wei Yan's footsteps.
"They...are they not going to take care of Liu Feng?"
Lao Lin was a little surprised. He knew that Wei Yan and others were anxious, but he didn't expect that the other party could even abandon Liu Feng, Liu Bei's son——
"We can't tolerate any further hesitation, so we treat it as sacrificing our lives for your husband. Even if all of us in Shanyue are here today, we can't let Wei Yan and the others pass by!"
Fei Zhan... thought of the kind of trust Yi Xiaotian had when he explained to them before.
It is rare for a person to meet a noble person in his life, let alone the one who gives them new life when they are in the most difficult time.
Once he heard that Fei Zhan had moved out of Yi Xiaotian, Lao Lin had nothing to worry about.
"Yes, Boss Fei, you are right. We are working hard for our husband. Even if He Qi and the others don't come... we must still..."
call out--
An extremely precise arrow suddenly flew in from outside the forest. Fei Zhan had quick hands and quick eyes. He turned around and took out the Tibetan knife from his waist and intercepted the arrow. Old Lin was startled. The sound of the arrow breaking through the wind was heard just now.
The back of his head was gone. Sure enough, there was no room for carelessness now.
"It's useless to talk more. Old Lin... led people to entangle them and delay them as much as possible, at least... at least until He Qi defeated Pang Tong and others on the frontal battlefield!"
"good!"
Lao Lin nodded in agreement and quickly blew a regular sound from his flute. In the woods on both sides of the road, the people in Shanyue who received the signal immediately began to move.
Fei Zhan, on the other hand, picked up Liu Feng, who was still tied up, from the side, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the dense forest regardless of the frightened look in his eyes.
He wanted to find Peng Hu... Of course he knew that if the other party was ruthless, they would not be able to stop the other party, so... he had a less mature idea...
——
Wei Yan was holding his breath all the time. For this reason, he gave up on Liu Feng and just pushed forward silently and with anger.
He must complete the task assigned to him by Pang Tong, and for this he is willing to do whatever it takes.
So it can be seen that after the negotiation broke down, the army advanced extremely quickly.
The top of the mountain, which had been invisible until just now, is now very close.
On the cliffs that follow, even the Shanyue people might not dare to follow their footsteps, right?
A fairly dense rain of arrows was still pouring down, and from time to time someone in the army was killed by arrows. However, compared to the previous first round of attacks, the harassment of the Shanyue people was now a little more tiring.
After all, the numbers are there. After the first round of head-on confrontation, the number of Shanyue people has been greatly reduced. In addition, the army is advancing extremely fast at this moment. They only dare to harass from the side. The Shanyue people who are unable to charge into the formation can only
The remaining option is long-range sniping.
Seeing that... the Shanyue people's obstruction will be ineffective, and Wei Yan and others will also reach their destination:
"Get ready to wrap yourself in cowhide! I will be the first to go down the mountain, and the others behind me will follow!"
"yes!"
Wei Yan's order had long been engraved on everyone's hearts, and the soldiers' answers were firm.
Now that we have reached this point, no one will choose to back down.
But how could Fei Zhan and Peng Hu let them get what they wanted?
The first thing that felt strange was not Wei Yan's eyes, but...
Sniff--
"What does this smell like?"
Wei Yan, who was walking at the front, suddenly smelled a burnt smell in the air.
A pungent feeling surged into his brain, making Wei Yan, who had already felt like he had a chance to win, suddenly become vigilant.
Then the soldiers behind him also started muttering...
Everyone seemed to smell the smell, but because they rarely thought of the possibility, no one immediately realized what happened.
until--
"General! In front! Look in front! That's..."
Front?
Wei Yan just turned his head, but someone immediately asked him to turn back and look ahead...
Subconsciously, Wei Yan turned around, thinking that another enemy had appeared.
But the next moment, when his expression was illuminated by the faint warm yellow light, he also realized the seriousness of the problem.
This group of Shanyue people...in order to stop them, they actually set fire to the mountain.
