Chapter 57: Xiao Yan's encirclement and reinforcements
"Lord, the morale of the enemy army in Yingzhou is low now. It was the critical moment for us to launch a counteroffensive. Wang Mao suddenly became enthusiastic.
"No, I hope I can lure Xiao Baojuan's army to attack." Xiao Yan said.
"Why? Lord. Isn't this a delay in the fighter? Wang Mao was puzzled.
"My purpose is to consume Xiao Baojuan's elite. Once his elite was wiped out. The history of thorns everywhere will inevitably fall to the wind. If so, if he didn't defeat his elite, even if he hit Jiankang City, it would be meaningless. Xiao Yan said with a smile.
At the same time, Xiao Baojuan had already sent Wu Ziyang to lead an army of 130,000 to support Yingzhou. Along the way, the battleship shuttled through the Yangtze River, waving flags to cover the sun.
Wu Ziyang said proudly: "Accelerate forward." We will definitely be able to kill Xiao Yan. Our chance to pay homage has arrived. ”
"The Qi army is mighty, the Qi army is mighty......" the soldiers shouted.
Wu Ziyang is Xiao Baojuan's confidant, he has always been strong and proficient in the art of war.
Xiao Yan heard that Wu Ziyang had come to support Yingzhou.
said to the strategist Fan Yun: "Wu Ziyang, I know, this person is both humanistic and martial, and he is scheming. It's really hard to deal with. How can we defeat the enemy? ”
Xiao Yingxuan said: "Lord, if you send troops down the river now, the opportunity to attack Wuchang has been lost." We can contact Wei and ask Wei to help us capture Jiankang City. ”
"Brother Yingxuan, are you thinking too simply? If Wei is allowed to go south, they are afraid that they will take advantage of the fire to rob. Do you think they're coming, will they leave? Xiao Yan asked.
"Brother Shuda, it may not be possible. Anyway, our purpose is to crusade against Xiao Baojuan. Xiao Yingxuan suggested.
"If we use the power of Wei to seize Jiankang City, we may lose the Jiangshan Sheji of Great Qi." Xiao Yan said worriedly.
"Lost? Lord, the state of Wei is nothing but an external force. Wait until Xiao Baojuan is wiped out. Let's expel the Wei people again. Didn't General Chen Qingzhi defeat the Wei people? ”
Besides, Wu Ziyang, after he arrived in Jiankang City, said to the soldiers: "Let's march into Wukou now and cut off the retreat of Xiao Yan's rebels." ”
The Qi army began to occupy Wukou.
Wang Mao said to Xiao Yan: "My lord." We're at a disadvantage now. The enemy has captured Wukou. ”
"Don't panic. Wu Ziyang has neglected Jiahu. As long as the lake is conquered. We can eliminate Wu Ziyang. Wu Ziyang is more than brave and not resourceful. Xiao Yan said calmly.
Late at night, Wang Mao's sailors attacked Jiahu Lake.
While still asleep, the Qi army was hacked to death on the ship by Wang Mao's soldiers.
The river suddenly swelled, and Wang Mao led the Yongzhou sailors to beat the drums to fight.
The Yongzhou army's cry shook the sky and killed the Qi army.
The soldiers of the Qi army jumped into the river one after another to flee for their lives.
Waves were stirred up on the surface of the river.
The Yongzhou soldiers did not stop attacking at all, and continued to cut and kill the Qi soldiers. Qi Jun is corpse was thrown into the river.
The river soon turned red.
Wu Ziyang was still asleep, heard the noise outside, and asked his subordinates: "Is it a soldier fighting?" ”
"It's not." Said the subordinate.
"Is that a mutiny from a friendly army?" Wu Ziyang asked.
"Master, no. It was Wang Mao who was killed by the rebels. The men cried.
"Wang Mao actually attacked Jiahu and killed here?" Wu Ziyang suddenly felt five thunderbolts.
He thought to himself: It seems that today, I am going to sacrifice my life for the country.
He shouted, "Xiao Yan, you despicable villain. You actually attacked me. ”
Wu Ziyang picked up his weapon and hurriedly met the battle, and was cut down on the deck by the Yongzhou soldiers.
Wang Mao cut off Wu Ziyang's head and shouted, "We have won." ”
The Yongzhou army shouted: "Victory......"
Suddenly it was dawning outside.
Floating on the surface of the river was the body of Qi Jun.
Xiao Yan heard that Wang Mao had annihilated Wu Ziyang's 130,000 army in one day, and said to the strategist Fan Yun: "I didn't expect it. Wang Mao was so brave. actually annihilated Wu Ziyang's 130,000 army in one day. It seems that conquering Jiankang is just around the corner. ”
"Yes, sir. You have Wang Mao, you are like a tiger with wings. Fan Yun said.
As the saying goes: good things come in pairs.
At this moment, Xiao Yan's housekeeper also walked in.
"Why are you here? Could it be that something happened to Xiangyang? Xiao Yan asked.
"My lord. No. On the Xiangyang side, Mrs. gave birth. The butler said.
"Really? Is it a boy or a girl? Xiao Yan asked.
He thought to himself: If it's a boy. My Xiao family will have a future.
"Sir, it's a boy. White, chubby, brat. The butler laughed.
"Congratulations to the lord, happy to have a noble son." The generals roared.
Xiao Yan thought to himself: Although I have a son, Xiao Zhengde is my righteous son. Now I have a son. But I can't do him any wrong!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan began to frown.
He thought to himself: Xiao Zhengde, if he is allowed to return to his family. Am I too inauthentic? And, what would he think?
"My lord. Now it is necessary to continue to surround Yingzhou. In fact, Yingzhou's grain and grass have been exhausted. However, the lord can convince people with virtue. Let Xue Yuansi and Cheng Mao surrender. As a result, other states and counties will look down on the wind. Fan Yun said with a smile.
"Brilliant plan. Immediately sent people to persuade Yingzhou to surrender. As long as you surrender, you can not blame the past. The people of Yingzhou can live and work in peace and contentment. The Yingzhou Army will not be discriminated against. Xiao Yan said with a smile.
Let's talk about Xiao Baojuan, the faint monarch of Qi State.
Xiao Baojuan heard that Wu Ziyang was actually killed by Wang Mao, and the 130,000 army was actually annihilated by Xiao Yan in one day, and his face turned pale with fright.
He thought to himself: Is Xiao Yan the reincarnation of Han Xin and Bai Qi? How strong is it?
"Who else can resist Xiao Yan now?" Xiao Baojuan asked.
"Your Majesty, Chen Bozhi can. He's a veteran. You must be able to resist Xiao Yan. The eunuch Xiao Fangzi said.
"I've heard of this man. is also a fierce general. Let him defend against Xiao Yan. Xiao Baojuan said angrily.
Chen Bozhi was appointed by Xiao Baojuan as the assassin of Yuzhou to defend against Xiao Yan's rebels in Jiangzhou.
Chen Bozhi sent his henchman Su Longzhi to support Yingzhou.
However, Su Longzhi was arrested by Xue Yuansi as soon as he entered Yingzhou.
"Misunderstanding. General Xue Yuansi. I am a subordinate of Lord Chen Bozhi. Why do you want to arrest me? Su Longzhi felt very wronged.
"We have taken refuge in Xiao Yan's assassination history. Now, I'm going to hand you over to Xiao Yan. Xue Yuansi scolded.
"You're rebels." Su Longzhi scolded.
The gates of Yingzhou opened.
Xiao Yan said to Xue Yuansi and Cheng Mao: "You can surrender." It is really the luck of our Qi people. I hope you can join me in the crusade against Xiao Baojuan, the faint monarch. Kuang Fu Qi country's Jiangshan Sheji. ”
"Definitely. History of Xiao Thorn. We've also been hoping to crusade against Xiao Baojuan. But he was foolish and faithful to him. Cheng Mao said.
Xiao Yan ordered: "Now most of the more than 100,000 people in Yingzhou City have died in the war. I prepared many coffins. Hopefully they can be buried in the ground. ”
The people shouted: "Long live Xiao Tingshi......"
