Chapter 772: Holding Wu Yi hostage
In the Sword Pavilion, Wu Yi and Zhang Song stood on the city wall, looking in the direction of the Guanzhong military camp.
Even if the two of them couldn't see the situation over there because they were too far apart, they watched the battle closely.
Wu Yi frowned, and said to Zhang Song: "Is it too hasty for General Zhang to lead the army out of the city?" ”
It can be seen that Wu Yi was quite annoyed by Zhang Ren's actions.
The Sword Pavilion is now impregnably defended, but Zhang Ren wants to go out of the city without authorization, and if he doesn't catch anything, the Yizhou army will suffer an extremely tragic blow.
Because Zhang Song and Wu Yi were very close, Zhang Ren took it for granted that Zhang Song would inform Wu Yi of the reason why he left the city.
But he didn't want Zhang Song to have a ghost in his heart, so not only did he not explain to Zhang Ren, but he added fuel and vinegar to say how Zhang Ren was arrogant and how he insisted on going his own way and wanted to get out of the city.
It is precisely because of this that Wu Yi has a lot of resentment towards Zhang Ren.
Zhang Song was about to say something more, when he suddenly saw the northern flames rushing to the sky, even if it was far away, he could faintly hear the sound of shouting and killing.
"Oops, this must be General Zhang's ambush!"
When Wu Yi saw this, his heart immediately sank, and he cried out loudly.
Zhang Song also stumbled and said: "Zhang Ren doesn't listen to people, he is arrogant, and even if he is ambushed, he will bring about his own destruction." ”
"However, the Sword Pavilion must not be lost, so I will lead the soldiers and horses to guard the city gate."
Zhang Song was so active, he naturally wanted to wait for the arrival of the Guanzhong Army to open the gate of the Sword Pavilion.
However, Wu Yi waved his hand and said: "Although General Zhang Ren is ambushed, the Sword Pavilion is still impregnable, Ziqiao doesn't have to lose an inch, he just needs to hold on to the city as usual." ”
After finishing speaking, Wu Yi commanded his soldiers in an orderly manner, and asked them to be in their places, ready to resist the attack of the Guanzhong army at any time.
Zhang Song's eyes flashed slightly, and he said secretly: "It seems that Wu Yi is not easy to fool." ”
Although he asked Wu Yi for some people, these people were not his cronies after all, and it was probably not easy to lead them to abandon the city and surrender.
His brows furrowed slightly, Zhang Song was thinking about how to welcome the Guanzhong army into the city, and he saw a fire dragon from far and near.
Wu Yi held a spear, his face became extremely solemn, and he shouted sharply: "The Guanzhong army is here, and the armies are guarding the city!" ”
"Kill!"
The sound of shouting and killing came from far and near, and the first member of the general was holding a big axe, and his instrument was magnificent, and he was majestic under the light of the fire.
"Xu Huang, Xu Huang is here!"
When the defenders in the city saw that nightmarish figure, many people couldn't help but exclaim.
Xu Huang's record in Yizhou is really appalling, and his prestige is even more shocking to the land of Bashu, and many Yizhou soldiers have heard of Xu Huang's deeds.
So when they saw that figure holding a big axe, even if there was the natural danger of the Sword Pavilion city wall, everyone's faces were still a little pale.
When Wu Yi saw everyone's performance, he immediately shouted: "Why is Xu Huang worrying? If he really had great ability, it would be impossible for the Sword Pavilion to stand for so long! ”
"If Xu Huang dares to attack the city in person, I will definitely behead him and avenge those dead robes!"
When the Yizhou soldiers heard Wu Yi's sonorous words, their faces looked much better.
No matter how powerful Xu Huang is, he is just a person after all, and it is impossible for him to fly over the wall of the Sword Pavilion and directly enter the city.
"Knock knock!"
The rhythmic sound of war drums echoed in the dark night, and the drums smashed into the hearts of Yizhou soldiers like heavy hammers.
It's getting closer, and the rushing Guanzhong army is getting closer and closer.
At a position two arrows away from the city wall, Xu Huang suddenly raised the big axe in his hand, and the Guanzhong military order was forbidden, and they stopped moving forward.
"Stop!"
Xu Huang roared, the sound of war drums also stopped, and the outside of the city suddenly became quiet.
Placing his eyes on the city wall, his gaze swept over the faces of Zhang Song and Wu Yi successively.
Today's Xu Huang's beard has become very long, and although he is in the prime of life, his face has also carved some traces of time.
This kind of trace, instead of making him look vicissitudes, adds a kind of momentum to it that is not angry but mighty.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Huang shouted loudly: "Zhang Ren and Deng Xian were surrounded, and they must have been captured now." ”
"I have heard it: those who know the times are Junjie, Liu Zhang is not the master, why didn't General Wu surrender the city?"
"With the general's thirst for talent, as long as General Wu is willing to surrender the city, fame and fortune are at your fingertips!"
Xu Huang knew that for a person from a family like Wu Yi, it was definitely better to tempt with interests than others, as long as he could give enough benefits, it was not impossible for Wu Yi to defect.
However, he underestimated Wu Yi's integrity after all.
Although Wu Yi also thought about it, surrendering Chen Xu is definitely better than staying under Liu Zhang, after all, Wu Yi can still see which person is the master.
But there is another saying: Rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.
Wu Yi was quite important under Liu Zhang, and although the Wu family was an outsider, it was now a well-known family in Yizhou.
As long as Liu Zhang lives, the Wu family can stand tall for a day.
If he opens the city and surrenders, not to mention what the people of the world will think of Wu Yi, in the new regime of Guanzhong, the Wu family will not necessarily be more brilliant than under Liu Zhang.
What's more, Wu Yi's sister is still the wife of Liu Zhang's brother, and the Wu family has an in-law relationship with Liu Zhang.
Now that Wu Yi's brother-in-law has not died, it is impossible for him to surrender to Liu Bei easily when the army is overwhelmed like in history.
It was precisely because of various considerations that Wu Yi could not surrender at this time.
Wu Yi's eyes were round, and he pointed at Xu Huang with the tip of his gun, and drank: "The thief will not be noisy, and if he wants to take the Sword Pavilion, he will attack directly, how can I, Wu Yi, be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" ”
Xu Huang heard Wu Yi's words and shook his head slightly.
He looked at Zhang Song on the city wall, his brows furrowed slightly, and he secretly thought: "Ziqiao said in his letter that he would try to help me take the Sword Pavilion as much as possible." ”
"It can be seen that Ziqiao is not completely sure that he can help me break through the city."
"Either way, it's only right to test the attack first."
With a plan in his heart, Xu Huang immediately issued an order to attack the city, and when Sergeant Guan heard this, he immediately rushed to the city gate with neat steps.
"This time, the Guanzhong Army is preparing to storm the Sword Pavilion."
Looking at the posture of the Guanzhong Army, Wu Yi couldn't help but take a deep breath and kept boosting morale.
Zhang Song's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly said to Wu Yi: "General, I'll go to other places to inspect." ”
Wu Yi did not doubt him, and said: "Ziqiao is at will." ”
Zhang Song then led more than 30 cronies to run to another broken city wall.
"For today's plan, I can only take risks."
Ignoring the earth-shattering shouts of killing, a trace of madness suddenly flashed in Zhang Song's eyes.
The Sword Pavilion had been blocking the Guanzhong Army for too long, but as an internal response and in a high position, he had not been able to help Chen Xu break through the city.
If it drags on like this, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be underestimated by the Chinese martial arts.
In fact, Zhang Song had not thought of surrendering the city before, but Zhang Ren had been sending his henchmen to guard various critical positions.
Zhang Ren and Deng Xian are by no means easy people, and it is absolutely extremely difficult to have them in the Sword Pavilion to dedicate the city.
Zhang Song has no real power in his hands, and he can only use thirty or fifty henchmen, and it is a fool's dream to break the city with the inside and outside.
If you are not careful, you will be killed.
It was precisely for this reason that Zhang Song had been dormant until he had taken Zhang Ren and Deng Xian out of the Sword Pavilion before he was ready to act.
"Only Wu Yi is left in the city, if he can be subdued, the Sword Pavilion will be destroyed!"
Zhang Song led thirty people to a position, and since the Guanzhong army did not attack the city from here, the Yizhou soldiers also evacuated.
Zhang Song's eyes rolled, and he suddenly shouted to Wu Yi in horror: "General Wu, come here!" ”
Wu Yi, who was commanding the soldiers to defend the city, heard Zhang Song's frightened voice, and couldn't help but be shocked, and strode towards Zhang Song alone.
Zhang Song glanced at his henchmen, and everyone was satisfied, and moved their bodies quietly.
"Why did Ziqiao exclaim?"
Wu Yi walked too fast, and the soldiers behind him were still behind, and they didn't follow closely.
Moreover, Wu Yi's own soldiers were also defenseless at this time, because on the city wall, there was basically no threat.
Zhang Song still had a frightened look on his face, beckoned to Wu Yi, and said, "The general will come over and take a look, and he will see the difference." ”
Wu Yi was suspicious in his heart, strode in front of Zhang Song, looked down at the position Zhang Song pointed, but didn't see anything wrong at all.
He was about to speak, when he suddenly felt a chill in his neck, and several large knives were already on his neck.
"Unload his weapons and tie his hands!"
Seeing this, Zhang Song hurriedly shouted, and the rest of his henchmen also obeyed Zhang Song's order, first unloading Wu Yi's weapon, and then binding his hands.
"You, what do you want?"
Wu Yi, who was defenseless, was suddenly held hostage by Zhang Song's henchmen, and was immediately shocked and angry, and couldn't help shouting.
"Put down the general!"
It was only at this time that the soldiers who were far behind reacted and drew their weapons and rushed over.
"I don't want your general to die, stop all!"
Zhang Song pulled out the sword in his waist and placed it on Wu Yi's neck, lightly marking a bloody mark.
Seeing this, the soldiers were shocked and immediately stood in place, not daring to walk any further.
Feeling the chill on his neck, Wu Yi's heart couldn't help sinking, and he didn't dare to move, but just said, "What does Ziqiao mean?" ”
Zhang Song said: "Good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose their masters." ”
"Liu Zhang is based on the land of Bashu and does not want to forge ahead, and the talents in the territory are like carp crossing the river but do not know how to carry and reuse, such characters will be captured by others sooner or later in troubled times."
"I have loved the general for a long time, since the general praises the general as a hero in the world, why don't you surrender the city with me?"
Even when he was persuading, the sword in Zhang Song's hand was still on Wu Yi's neck, and the cold glint in his eyes flashed.
Wu Yi had no doubt that if he insisted on not surrendering, Zhang Song would definitely kill him mercilessly.
