A panting messenger rushed to General Wu Yuan as if he was rolling and crawling, and reported to him the recent battle situation of the fall of the West City Gate.
At this time, Wu Yuan had taken the initiative to lose his aura as the supreme commander of Suxian County, and fought hard in the streets like a soldier holding a sharp blade.
At this moment, the shiny armor on his body was covered with blood, and there were many gaps in the sharp blade in his hand. He looked very tired.
This is no wonder, because so far, he has killed more than a hundred Qi soldiers. Even the generals of the Qi army, two generals with the level of two thousand generals have been killed by him, which can be said to be outstanding military exploits.
"when!"
The sharp blade in Wu Yuan's hand stabbed heavily on the pavement paved with blue bricks under his feet. He stared at the messenger with wide eyes. With the blood-soaked look on his body at this moment, it was really frightening.
"What did you say? The west city gate fell?"
"Yes...yes."
Hearing this, Wu Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
At first, he had some suspicion that this was Tian Dan's trick, but after thinking about it carefully, he rejected this guess.
Because at present, the Qi army had already entered the city and was fighting with the Chu army in Suxian County in the streets and alleys. Therefore, Tian Dan did not need to capture another city gate.
Instead of dividing the troops to seize the city gate, it is better to concentrate the troops to deal with the Chu army that is still resisting in the city. I think this is the most normal judgment, right?
Thinking of this, Wu Yuan's expression changed slightly.
If it’s not Tian Dan, then it’s... Wei Gongzi Run!
Turning his head and looking in the direction of the west city gate, Wu Yuan squinted his eyes, his mood was extremely complicated.
Because of the current melee in Su County, it is unclear whether the Qi army sneaked into the Chu army or the Chu army ambushed the Qi army. In short, the two armies were fighting each other in extreme chaos.
But it is undeniable that neither Tian Dan nor Wu Yuan can boast that they have controlled the situation so far.
In other words, Wu Yuan still had the possibility of repelling the Qi army and desperately defending the county.
But the problem is, if the Wei army under Wei Gongzi Run also takes part in this melee, then Wu Yuan has almost no chance of winning.
Mr. Wei Run... Hahaha, what a good Mr. Wei Run... It turns out that this person had already expected that Tian Dan would attack my Su County at night, and he had been planning to seize food from the tiger's mouth from the very beginning...
Thinking of this, Wu Yuan couldn't help but feel tired.
He believed that Tian Dan would probably have a similar mood after hearing about this: when the Qi army and the Chu army were fighting to the death in Suxian, the Wei army actually came arrogantly to enjoy the victory.
...The situation is over.
Wu Yuan let out a long breath, and the sharp blade in his hand seemed to hang weakly on the ground.
Seeing this, a soldier beside him asked worriedly and uneasily: "General, are you... not in the way?"
Wu Yuan shook his head, and then turned to the soldiers around him who had followed him for many years.
These personal soldiers originally followed him to resist the Chu State General Xiang Mo who invaded the land of Wu and Yue. Later, after Wu Yuan surrendered to Xiang Mo, these people still chose to follow him, so they were promoted to personal soldiers.
After a moment of silence, Wu Yuan said in a deep voice: "Wu Pan, you go find Wu Kang, and then... together with Yu Ji, who is at the east city gate, go to Fuli Fortress. Xiang Mo will arrange for you to wait in the future.
"
After hearing this, the soldier named Wu Pan and the other soldiers all changed their expressions.
"General, then you..." Wu Pan said tightly.
I saw Wu Yuan casually touching the bricks and stones under his feet with the tip of his sharp sword, and said lightly: "I am ready to return this life to Xiang Mo."
The implication is that he still has no intention of evacuating and is prepared to hold on to the city until the last moment.
"General..." Wu Pan's expression changed drastically when he heard this.
I saw a hint of struggle in his eyes, and then he gritted his teeth and whispered: "General, with all due respect, there is no need for the general to die for the Chu Kingdom!"
Hearing this, Wu Yuan laughed dumbly and curled his lips and said, "Am I doing it for the Chu State?" After that, he patted Wu Pan on the shoulder and whispered to him: "Xiang Mo is a rare person from the Chu State.
Those who would be prejudiced against us, the people of Wuyue, what is commendable is that they
He is still an outstanding commander. Although he is a little pedantic, he is not a bad person. If you go to him, he will take care of you." At this point, he saw Wu Pan's lips move slightly, and he seemed to want to say something more.
What, so he urged without refutation: "Go quickly!"
However, after Wu Pan gritted his teeth, he stubbornly said: "It only takes one person to transfer General Wu Kang. Please allow me to follow the general until the last moment!"
After saying that, he turned around and shouted to the youngest among the soldiers: "Naiyu, you go find General Wu Kang."
"Me? Why me?" The young soldier named Niyu said angrily, as if he had been humiliated in some way.
"Stop talking nonsense." Wu Pan said angrily: "Don't you still have an old lady?"
Niyu was immediately speechless. After a while, his face turned red and he said, "Even if...even so, I am willing to follow the general to death!"
As he spoke, he looked at Wu Yuan expectantly.
But Wu Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: "You are too young, boy, this is not the place where you should die."
When Niyu heard this, his face was filled with disappointment, but he did not dare to refute Wu Yuan, and left with complicated emotions.
Seeing the way he turned back three times as he left, Wu Yuan burst into laughter. Then, he turned to look at Wu Pan and other soldiers he had known for many years.
At this moment, the communication between men did not require words at all. With just one look, the soldiers already understood Wu Yuan's thoughts.
Continue to attack the Qi army!
Thinking of this, Wu Yuan, his soldiers, and the Chu soldiers nearby once again went to the most chaotic battlefield.
It has to be said that Wu Yuan was indeed a very calm and wise general. Even at this time, he still wanted to cause discord between the Qi army and the Wei army. Knowing that Su County could not be saved, he deliberately let the Wei army not attack and continued to attack.
The Qi army clearly wanted to use Suxian to cause the Qi army to be dissatisfied with the Wei army.
No, Wu Yuan's side was still full of fighting spirit, but the Chu soldiers in other positions, when they saw that the Wei army had entered the city through the west gate, they immediately understood that their defeat was irreversible.
Of course, during this period, there were several bloody generals of the Chu army who led their soldiers to attack the Wei army. Unfortunately, the infantry of the Wei army were not the embroidered pillows of the Qi army's infantry who only relied on sophisticated weapons and equipment, such as the Shang Shui army.
,where
The armor worn by the sergeants of the Afraid Army was the armor of the Junshui Battalion of Wei State two years ago, and the weapons in their hands were also worn out equipment. However, the powerful combat effectiveness unleashed by the Shangshui Army sergeants was still the same as that of the Qi State infantry.
Unrivaled.
Especially in an environment with narrow terrain such as street fighting, the Wei infantry, which is extremely powerful individually, can actually control the entire street with one or two hundred troops. This combat effectiveness is enough to put the Qi infantry to shame.
It has to be said that although it was not the intention of the Qi soldiers, the addition of the Wei army did accelerate the defeat of the Chu army in Suxian County, causing the Chu soldiers in the city to retreat steadily.
During this period, Gan Mao, the former general of the Donglai Army of the Qi State, was also a pawn of the Shang Shui Army. He and his group fought hard to attack the city guard in the city.
At this moment, Gan Mao couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Because as a Qi man and a general of the Donglai Army, Gan Mao was extremely angry when the Wei Army took advantage of the Qi Army and the Chu Army to steal the victory while the Qi Army was fighting with the Chu Army.
But the problem was that the Shang Shui sergeants who were in the same group as his new companion kept urging him.
"Bang!"
A solid iron shield knocked away a Chu soldier who was trying to stab Gan Mao to death.
Immediately, the big face of the soldier Yang Wu came close to Gan Mao and asked suspiciously: "I said Lao Gan, are you really the general of the Qi army?...You are actually distracted on the battlefield?"
Gan Mao had a wry smile on his face.
The reason why he was distracted was not because he was struggling with his current position: whether he was a general of the Qi army or a soldier of the Wei merchant navy.
However, he still expressed his gratitude to Yangwu.
Unlike other Wei soldiers who looked at him with cold eyes, the team he was in made him feel warm.
At least, these are companions and comrades worthy of entrusting their backs to each other.
For the time being... let's fight as a soldier of Shangshui... for the time being.
After calming down secretly, Gan Mao asked: "Commander, what is the mission of our army?"
Wu Zhang Jiao Meng glanced at Gan Mao doubtfully, and then replied: "Put the royal flag of His Royal Highness King Su on the high building of the city guard's mansion!"
"clear!"
Gan Mao nodded, then took a deep breath, holding a shield in one hand and a sharp blade in the other, fighting at the front of the team with his soldier Yang Wu, creating a passage to the city guard's house for the following friendly troops.
I wonder how Tian Shuai, Zhongsun Sheng and the others felt after learning about the arrival of the Wei army...
After cutting down a Chu soldier with one sword, Gan Mao muttered to himself.
It is undeniable that Gan Mao's guess was absolutely correct. When he learned that the Wei army had also entered the city, Wu Yuan was still dragging Qi general Zhongsun Sheng back. He was first shocked and then furious.
It's a pity that his attitude was not enough to affect the momentum of the Wei army's attack on the city.
Especially when the Wei army shouted the slogan "Those who surrender will not be killed", the soldiers in the city had almost no surrender when faced with the Qi army on the east route led by Tian Dan, but at this moment, they all surrendered to the Wei army.
After learning about this, Tian Dan might think deeply about whether the many killings he caused in Chu State had more benefits or more harm.
By the time around the Chou period, the Wei army had already taken over most of the city in the west and east of the city.
In fact, the Wei soldiers and generals also felt puzzled: the Suxian Chu army, which was clearly resisting tenaciously in front of the Qi army, had almost minimal resistance to the Wei army.
No, the Wei army successfully took over most of the city, but the Qi army still had not gotten rid of the entanglement of the small Chu army in the city.
"...Your Highness, do you want to help a bunch of Qi troops?" Zongwei Chief Wei Jiao asked Zhao Hongrun after learning about this.
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help laughing: Help Qi Jun at this time? Will Qi Jun appreciate it?
"No need, our army will just clean up the mess."
"Yes!" Wei Jiao nodded, and then he asked: "Your Highness, just now Lu Zhan, the general of three thousand soldiers of the Shang Navy, sent someone to inquire. He said that a Chu army in Suxian County escaped from the east gate. Do you want to
Send troops to chase?"
Zhao Hongrun thought for a while and said: "No need, it's just a defeated army. Tell Lu Zhan and others to guard their positions. After daybreak, there may be some conflicts between our army and the Qi army. Tell them to prepare in advance."
"yes!"
Zhao Hongrun would never have thought that because he despised the defeated army, two young men who would later become generals of the Chu Kingdom escaped by chance.
One is called Yu Ji and the other is called Minyu. (To be continued.)
