Chapter 414 Killing the old enemy

Chapter 414 Killing the old enemy

Outside Yubi City, after a day of fighting, the armies returned to their camps, and the curtains placed by the city's defenders on various parts of the city wall were also rolled back into the city.

In the big tent, the generals each took turns to come forward and carefully report the results of today's victory, but the so-called victory results were really lackluster. They even used fire to burn a few feet of curtains of the defenders and took them out to talk about it.

When King Gao Huan of Bohai, who was sitting at the top, heard these unnutritious and unpleasant reports, there was no obvious expression of joy or anger on his face. He only laughed softly after the generals finished playing, and said in his mouth: Then he said in a deep voice: "There has never been an isolated city in ancient times that could be defended for a long time. It has been more than a month since we attacked the city. Black Otter did not dare to send a single soldier to the east to come to our aid. This shows that the Western thieves are timid.

The former wanted to surround this area and lure the Western thieves to fight, so they did not use their strategies in depth for fear of losing this bait. But now the Western thieves are showing their cowardice, so they need to capture the city and then cross the river to defeat it. It's just a small Yubi city, how is Yecheng compared to the old one? The power in those days was not what it is now, I can take out the city of Ye, let alone this city! "

Everyone present was a veteran of the military, and they naturally understood that whether a city could be defended had little to do with its size. The geographical advantages of Yubi City were far beyond those of Ye City back then. However, King Gao did not pursue the generals to fight. Unfortunately, this was used to boost morale, and they all cheered up quickly, saying that they would order their troops to work harder when the battle continued in the future.

After all the generals had withdrawn, Gao Huan suddenly beat the table and roared: "When the city is destroyed, no chickens or dogs will be left in this city! If the Fen River is not red, it will be difficult to eliminate this hatred!"

He had high hopes for this battle. In his expectation, even if he could not defeat the Western Bandits once and for all, he would still have to break into Guanzhong and greatly weaken the Western Bandits' vitality. But he didn't expect that he had been building momentum for several years, but this time he was blocked by Yubi City for more than a month and couldn't advance. He was filled with hatred for Wei Xiaokuan and the soldiers and civilians in Yubi City.

However, there was more than one headache for him that night. Not long after, Zhao Yanshen, the subordinate officer in charge of the secret military aircraft, hurriedly entered the account and handed a newspaper to Gao Huan's desk with a serious expression.

After Gao Huan took the letter and browsed it briefly, his expression suddenly changed and he asked in shock: "Didn't you say that Bu Luoji thieves were in the cities of Koufenzhou? How come Jinyang City was also invaded? Even Jinyang Palace... "

Zhao Yanshen naturally had no way of answering these questions. All he knew was the situation reported by those staying in Jinyang, and based on his own judgment, he said: "From what I can see, the most important thing to pay attention to right now is not the incoming bandits, but Jinyang." The cities are in panic, and they need to quickly respond to the situation to stabilize the situation and prevent the situation from turning worse..."

Gao Huan frowned again after hearing this. He knew that Zhao Yanshen was really admonishing him to change his thinking and attitude. Before, he had only focused on the attack on Yubi City, and had forgotten all other things. Even the Lishi Huzhong made a comeback so quickly and entered Koufenzhou without paying any attention to it. The chaos in Jinyang was nothing more than a wake-up call, and they should stop and consider it carefully.

Although he had some sense of it rationally, Gao Huan subconsciously avoided thinking about it and said bitterly: "These two disciples have been in battle for a long time, but they are still so careless and unwary! If it weren't for me, I would When the teacher is outside, he must ask me why I let the inbound bandits succeed so easily."

Although these words reprimanded She Di Qian and Gao Yue for staying behind, they still called the troublemakers in Jinyang rogue bandits. Obviously they did not want to give up the war here and returned to the army in despair.

Zhao Yanshen understood that if he continued to advise, there would be no effect, so he added: "But today Jinyang's military strength is barely able to defend itself, and it is even more insufficient to attack. If reinforcements are not provided, I am afraid that the bandits will continue to spread their poison!"

Gao Huan did not dare to neglect the safety of Jinyang. After hesitating for a while, he asked again: "Who knows how many people this message has handled? The governor will arrest him for the time being and will not let the matter spread without authorization. ”

Now that the war was not going smoothly and people's hearts were in doubt, if he knew that Jinyang was being harassed by bandits, Gao Huan didn't have to think about it and knew that the generals would take the opportunity to persuade him to return to Jinyang, making this war end in an anticlimactic manner. This was a situation he would never allow to happen, so he decided to hide the matter for the time being.

Then he opened his mouth and gave instructions: "Hurry to the left guard general Liu Fengsheng and come in."

Not long after, Liu Feng, who was left to camp on his own, hurried to the Chinese army's tent. After a brief greeting, Gao Huan motioned him to sit down quickly. Then Gao Huan passed the message from Jinyang to Liu Feng at his seat.

After reading this, Liu Feng's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately avoided the table to pay homage and said, "What do you want me to do, Your Majesty? I will leave immediately!"

Seeing Liu Feng making this statement, Gao Huan also nodded with satisfaction. Of course Jinyang City needs to be rescued, but if other generals are chosen to go there, such as those from the six towns, each of them has many relatives and friends in the army, it will be difficult to keep the secret.

At the same time, in order to ensure that the morale of the army does not waver, he cannot directly send too many troops away from the front line to return reinforcements. In this case, the generals who lead the troops to return reinforcements need to have outstanding military talents, rather than just relying on mediocrity in numbers.

After several generals under his command, only Liu Feng perfectly met these two conditions, so Gao Huan immediately ordered Liu Feng to be introduced. At this time, seeing that Liu Feng also understood his thoughts and intentions, he said in a deep voice: "The army is here. If it knows that Jinyang is in danger, the army will be unstable, retreat hastily, and the army's situation will be worse. We must advance The elite soldiers and generals will settle the situation, and the whole family will be left to the generals."

When Liu Feng heard this, he became even more excited. He repeatedly bowed his head to the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty trusts me so much, and I will repay you with death!"

Gao Huan was relatively reassured about Liu Feng's character and abilities. Without further ado, in order to deceive others, he immediately ordered Liu Feng to lead some of his troops, and he also allocated a group of Bafu personal guards totaling 3,000 troops. They left the camp at night in the name of supervising the transportation of grain and grass, and immediately marched northward. Aid Jinyang City.

Liu Feng was entrusted by King Gao, so he did not dare to neglect. He led his troops day and night without stopping all the way. By the evening of the next day, he had traveled more than half of the distance and arrived at Wenhunan in Fenzhou after crossing a distance of five to six hundred miles. side.

Wenhu is a lake with a radius of more than a hundred miles on the west bank of Fen River. After a day and night of running, even Liu Feng's men and horses were all elite. At this time, they were already exhausted and needed to rest and eat.

Liu Feng's generals immediately suggested that they go to nearby Lingzhou City to rest for a night and return home for a visit. The news that Jihu invaded Liubi City a few days ago has already been passed to the Yubi Camp. The overseas Chinese in Lingzhou City are in this situation, so Liu Feng's generals are also very worried about the safety of their families.

But after thinking about it for a while, Liu Feng shook his head and flatly refused. King Gao trusted him so much. Now that the crisis in Jinyang has not been resolved, if he returns to his home just for convenience, he will really betray this trust.

Without going to Lingzhou City, there were not many places nearby that could supply three thousand troops. Liu Feng could only order his soldiers to endure their hunger and thirst for the time being and continue northward around the west bank of Wenhu Lake. There was another one in the northwest of Wenhu Lake. The military city was called Zhucheng, and it was large enough to accommodate a large group of troops to rest.

Not long after, the outline of the city of Zhucheng was vaguely visible, but the scouts sent by Liu Feng to deliver the message in advance rode back in a panic to report that Zhucheng seemed to have been lost. There was no flag announcement at the top of the city, and there were still a large number of troops stationed in the north of the city. Judging from the military force, the size of the camp is at least tens of thousands.

After hearing this, Liu Feng couldn't help but take a breath, and he personally rode his horse forward to inspect. What he saw was just as the scout had reported, and he suddenly felt uneasy.

This group of troops is obviously not the army of the country, but it actually appears in this situation. It may be the bandit army that invaded Jinyang, or it may be Jihu who attacked Liubi City, but no matter what it is, it is absolutely nothing. Good situation.

But while being frightened, Liu Feng also noticed that it was not too long before this group of troops arrived. The walls of Zucheng were still obviously damaged, probably due to traces left by the battle that had not been repaired in time.

As for the camps outside the city, it is even more obvious. Even the fences and walls have not been set up yet. Many camps are directly exposed, and people and horses can be directly seen moving around the camp.

At this time, the enemy in the camp also discovered Liu Feng and his party, and all the people stationed in the camp rushed to the city, while hundreds of knights rushed out of the city, hoping to expel Liu Feng and his party. But when they rushed out and had an unobstructed view, they saw that in addition to Liu Feng's team of scouts, there were thousands of cavalry coming from the rear, and they immediately retreated in a hurry.

Liu Feng saw that the reaction of these people was not like well-trained elite troops, but like a mob that had risen up to take advantage of the situation, so he ordered his troops to form a battle formation, and while charging towards the opposite side, he divided into two groups. The road scouts searched to the north and west, hoping to search for domestic troops and strongholds in the area.

The first place he launched the offensive was the chaotic camp located in the north of Zhucheng City. As the team launched the charge, the already panicked camp suddenly became more chaotic, and many soldiers even fled to Wenhu Lake in the rear in a panic.

Seeing that the enemy was so panicked, the Eastern Wei cavalry who had already rushed into the camp were overjoyed and charged even more wantonly.

Liu Feng felt that something was wrong, and felt that the other party's performance seemed to be too unbearable. Zhicheng also had a considerable number of defenders and city defenses. If the thieves' combat effectiveness was so low, how could they capture the city?

Before he could make up his mind, a chaos of many people suddenly appeared in the camp ahead. It turned out that the tents set up were just to hide people's eyes and ears. Under the uncle's layer of curtains, there was a trap half a foot deep, and the enemy troops who had withdrawn from the camp were not They really fled into the lake, but boarded a floating boat formation made up of many boats. Then they formed a battle formation and used their strong bows to shoot down the cavalry who rushed into the camp because they underestimated the enemy.

Liu Feng was ordered to return to Jinyang to aid, but he was ambushed in Zhucheng before he even reached the edge of Jinyang City. Seeing that nearly half of his troops were trapped in the bandit camp, he immediately led his troops to the front and planned to withdraw. .

However, he had just rushed over here when the enemy cavalry who had fled back to the city appeared again, especially the fifty heavy cavalry with manned horses and armor, which seemed like a heavy spear, cutting off his men and horses in the middle, while the light cavalry behind them were like a strong wind. Plundering, Liu Feng and his troops who were rushing forward were pushed straight into the camp.

Until now, Liu Feng still had not lost his composure. He drew his knife in his hand and chopped down several enemies approaching him one after another. He also grabbed a horse-stem and pointed his finger to the sky, signaling the panicked tribesmen to come closer to him.

However, this move also exposed his position. Seeing that he was the general, the nearby enemy troops rushed towards him on horseback. His subordinates were unable to defend him. Especially Liu Feng's mount was hit in the rear by a sharp edge, causing him to jump to the camp in pain. middle.

However, under the control of Liu Feng's exquisite riding skills, the war horse narrowly avoided the traps in the camp. However, the war horse also rushed near the shallows of the lake, and the cold lake water even soaked Liu Feng's ankles.

"Kill, kill out..."

Liu Feng, who was still calm at first, seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. He abandoned the horses and horses and beat the horses desperately, shouting hysterically, trying to get out of the lake and return to the land.

However, he had just brought his horse back to the shore. Before he could even put his feet on the ground, a strong wind hit him. The thick wind directly passed through his chest. The huge force directly overturned his body and then knocked him down heavily. In the mud of the river beach.

Li Tai shook the blood from his spear, looked at the position where the enemy general fell, and smiled scornfully, then turned to kill other enemy soldiers, not knowing how carefree he was now and how embarrassed he would be later.
