In fact, Nan Yan was one of the important ministers who opposed Shao Fang and Feng Guo to join forces to fight against the two powerful states of Sichuan and Zhen. But now, his attitude has made a 180-degree turn. Any general with blood will listen.
Everyone will be filled with indignation after what the two armies of Chuanchuan and Zhen have done, and Nanyan is no exception.
This is the root of the disaster that Zhenjun planted in the first place, and now it has slowly begun to ferment...
The Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces remaining in Pingxiang seemed to have a large number of troops, as many as 70,000 to 80,000 people, but in fact, there were not many of them with real combat effectiveness.
Among these 70,000 to 80,000 people, there are 20,000 wounded soldiers and 30,000 to 40,000 reserve troops. The reserve troops are recruits who have never been on the battlefield and have no combat experience. Their role is to distribute them among the various corps.
In the corps, there are veterans to lead them, and they gradually become mature after fighting a few battles, but now there is no one to lead them, so many new recruits are gathered together
, unable to exert even a few percent of its combat power.
The only ones with real combat effectiveness are the two regiments left behind by the Sichuan-Zhen Allied Army, but their total number is only 20,000. It would be even harder to withstand the attacks of the Pingyuan Army and the Sanshui Army with just this amount of troops.
.
Three days later, when Pingyuan Army and Sanshui Army suddenly appeared in Pingxiang's field of vision, the Sichuan Army and Zhenjun inside were dumbfounded. The soldiers quickly reported to Wang Zhong, the general stationed in Pingxiang. Wang Zhong was the general of Zhenguo.
He didn't have much real talent, he just had enough qualifications. Nie Ze, the coach of the Zhen Army, didn't like him very much either.
When he heard that a large group of troops from the Feng Kingdom had been discovered outside the town, Wang Zhong was also startled. His face was ashen, and he stumbled out of his tent. The soldiers who followed the news went to check. When he climbed up the earthen wall outside Pingxiang, he raised his eyes and looked outside.
When I saw it, I was so frightened that I lost my mind.
Outside the earthen wall, the Feng Army marched toward Pingxiang step by step in a neat battle formation. A rough calculation showed that the Feng Army had at least more than 100,000 troops. The battle formation was spread out, overwhelming, with banners fluttering and spears and halberds like a forest.
The formation is like an extremely huge black carpet, quickly pressing forward.
After being stunned for a while, Wang Zhong came to his senses, hurriedly called a general, and said to him urgently: "You... quickly, go to the Huben Army camp in Mo State, and tell the Feng Army to come.
We are attacking Pingxiang, please ask the Huben Army of Mo State to send troops to reinforce immediately!"
The general nodded repeatedly, and just as he was about to leave, he put his feet back again and asked, "General, what if the Huben Army doesn't reinforce us?"
"No reinforcements?" Wang Zhong's eyebrows stood up, his voice changed, and he screamed: "If the Tiger and Ben troops don't come to reinforce, they will be waiting to collect the corpses of thousands of Mo people in Pingxiang!"
The general's expression changed, and he hurriedly stepped in and said yes, then turned around and got off the earth wall, riding a fast horse straight to the Huben Army camp for rescue.
Nan Yan was not surprised at all that the Sichuan-Zhen Allied Army would send people to ask for help from their own army. He secretly laughed in his heart. The Feng Army was really fast. It only took three days to reach Pingxiang. He did not reject the opponent.
Outside the door, people were asked to bring the generals sent by Wang Zhong into the tent.
Due to the ferocious force of the Feng Army and the large number of troops, the situation in Pingxiang was critical. After the meeting, the general did not have any unnecessary nonsense and said urgently: "General Nan, something bad is going on. The main force of the Feng Army attacked Pingxiang. Pingxiang is in danger now. My general
Send the last general here to ask General Nan to send troops to rescue!"
Nan Yan sneered in his heart, but still had a serious expression on his face, and said: "What a coincidence, our Huben Army has been closed for training in the past few days. The training is not over yet, so we cannot reinforce Pingxiang."
"What?" The general suspected that his ears had heard it wrong, and he didn't go to rescue Pingxiang just for practice? Which one is more important? The general subconsciously took a step forward and said urgently: "General Nan, practice
It can be done at any time, but there is only one Pingxiang. If it is captured by the Feng Army, the loss will be immeasurable, and it may even affect..."
Before he could finish his words, Nan Yan waved his hand and interrupted impatiently: "No need to say any more, no one in our army can leave the camp until the end of our military training."
"Then...how long will your army continue to train?"
"Two more days."
"Ah?" Two days? I'm afraid our side won't be able to withstand it for even two hours, let alone two days. "General Nan, you... you can't just ignore it!"
Nan Yan said: "This is not to ignore death, but our army has another mission! Okay, you don't need to say more, go back and recover as soon as possible!" His face was expressionless when he spoke, but his fists were clenched tightly.
, Nan Yan tried her best to suppress the resentment in her heart.
At this time, the general also saw that what he was doing was an excuse for Nan Yan, who did not want to rescue his own side at all. The general suddenly changed his mind, risked his life, and said loudly: "In the future, my general will have a
Tell me, if your army does not come to the rescue, then all the people in Pingxiang Township will become the victims of our army!"
These words touched the bottom line of Nanyan. Not only did the Sichuan and Zhen coalition quietly massacre the people of their own country, but now they were even more unscrupulous and even threatened themselves with the lives of the people in front of him. His eyes were wide open, his eyes were shining, and he stared
The general said ferociously: "What did you say? Say it again!"
Seeing Nan Yan's terrifying appearance at this time, Pian Jiang suddenly realized that what he just said was too much. Under Nan Yan's fierce eyes, Pian Jiang instinctively took two steps back, then turned around and wanted to leave, but
How could Nan Yan tolerate him leaving? The latter suddenly drew his sword, rushed to the back of the general in one stride, and then stabbed the opponent's heart with a vicious sword strike.
The general was shocked and turned pale. He dodged and put on his spiritual armor. At the same time, he explained: "General Nan, don't make a mistake..." Before he could finish his words, Nan Yan's sword stabbed into the air and suddenly moved sideways.
Sweeping, the general couldn't dodge, and was hit in the neck by the sword.
Fortunately, his spiritual armor was covered in time, and Nan Yan's sword was not spiritualized, so he finally resisted this fatal killing move. However, Nan Yan's sword was extremely powerful. Although he failed to kill the general, he still managed to resist it.
But he knocked him to the ground. Just as General Pian was about to get up, the surrounding guards rushed forward, and their blades fell. Their swords had already been spiritualized. With a series of crisp sounds, General Pian was instantly beheaded.
They were divided into several sections and died tragically in the Chinese army tent.
Nan Yan still couldn't understand his hatred and shouted outside the tent: "Come here, take the body out and feed it to the dogs!"
The general went to the Huben Army camp to ask for reinforcements, but the reinforcements were not received, and his own life was put at risk.
On the other side, the Sichuan-Zhen coalition forces in Pingxiang have already fought against the Feng army.
In order to resist the enemy, Wang Zhong also brought reserve soldiers to the battlefield. Even if their fighting ability was not strong, they could at least support the scene and build up their momentum.
Before the defenses of the Sichuan and Zhen coalition forces were set up on the earthen wall, the Feng Army's attack arrived. The first thing that came was the Feng Army's arrow array, and the black eagle feathers fell from the sky, as dense as raindrops.
Seeing such a large area of arrow array for the first time, many reserve recruits were stunned and frightened. They stood upright on the earth wall, forgetting to avoid or block, and were nailed into hedgehogs.
After a round of arrow formation, there was almost no place to stay on the earth wall. The ground was filled with arrows. Hundreds of soldiers from Sichuan and Zhen were submerged under the sea of arrows.
This is just the beginning. One round of arrow formation has just passed, followed by the second round, and the third round... The arrow formations of the Feng Army are continuous, like a sudden storm. Even if the soldiers of the Sichuan and Zhen armies hold up their shields, they still fire from time to time.
Someone was stabbed through the body by a stray arrow and fell off the earth wall screaming.
Under such an intense attack, even spiritual cultivators would find it difficult to resist.
Wang Zhong did not dare to stay on the earth wall any longer, so he hid under the wall early, raised his head, and remotely commanded the soldiers on the earth wall from below.
The general is greedy for life and afraid of death, so how can the soldiers below risk their lives to fight? Moreover, the city defense in Pingxiang is too poor. There is no city wall, only a ten-foot-high earth wall, and there is not even an arrow stack built on it. People want to block the arrow array, so they can only use shields.
, but the earthen wall is narrow, and there is not enough space to set up a complete shield formation. People hold the shields to block the top and expose the bottom, and to block the bottom and expose the top. The two soldiers standing on the earthen wall became the life of the wind army.
The sound of arrows hitting the target and screams came and went one after another.
Soon, the soldiers of the Sichuan and Zhen armies jumped off the earthen wall and fled towards the center of the town.
When Wang Zhong saw this, he became very anxious. He raised his sword, slashed several deserters, and shouted: "Go back! Go back and defend the city!"
At this time, the commander of the Zhenjun Corps ran up to Wang Zhong and said in a trembling voice: "General, the city wall in Pingxiang is short and narrow, and our army cannot defend it at all. General, while our brothers are not seriously injured, we should withdraw as soon as possible."
Bar!"
Withdraw? Wang Zhong also wants to withdraw, but if people can escape, can the baggage stored in Pingxiang escape? If he loses the baggage, food and grass, he will not be able to save even ten heads.
He grabbed the commander of the regiment by his armor and shouted: "We can't retreat! Mo's Tiger Army will come over soon for reinforcements. Even if you die on the battlefield, you still have to hold back the Feng Army!"
Wang Zhong himself did not dare to go to the top of the city to command the battle, but he tried his best to let his soldiers go up. He was the commander-in-chief, and if he did not give the order to retreat, the Zhen army really did not dare to retreat.
The regiment commander had no choice but to lead his soldiers to climb the earth wall again.
Under Feng Jun's arrow array, Zhen Jun didn't even have a chance to fire back. A group of them stepped forward and were shot dead. The entire earth wall was almost covered with Zhen Jun's corpses.
Even though they knew that carrying on would lead to death, people could only grit their teeth and hold on. However, when the soldiers of the Feng Army rushed forward, the Zhen Army could no longer withstand it.
I saw Shangguan Yuanrang leading the horse and rushing to the wooden door of the earth wall. The three-pointed two-edged sword slashed down fiercely. There was a crisp sound, and the wooden fences shattered in response. Shangguan Yuanrang spurred his horse and rushed directly into the town.
.
Seeing the enemy general coming in, the remaining Zhen army swarmed up and tried to pull Shangguan Yuanrang off his horse, but they fell faster as they climbed up. Shangguan Yuanrang released the spirit chaos and wind ruthlessly.
Their bodies were scratched, and groups of Zhen soldiers were turned into pieces of meat.
The commander of the Zhenjun Corps bravely stepped forward to meet him, but before he and Shangguan Yuanrang could complete a round, the latter was killed with a single blow.
The Zhen army has always been brave and fought without fear of death. However, seeing such a brave Shangguan Yuanrang, people still felt fear in their hearts and involuntarily retreated.
Shangguan Yuanrang looked around at the enemy troops, brandished his sword and shouted: "I am Shangguan Yuanrang, the general of the Feng Kingdom. If you want to survive, surrender quickly!"
