Wu Ju suddenly realized, and then thought of the 1,000 defenders who were ordered to go out of the city before dawn to Qingting to cross the river, and asked: "General Cai, you are so ruthless, you actually let your subordinates go to death?" ”

"What can I do?" Cai Yang sighed in a low voice, and said with a gloomy expression, "The iron cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army has crossed the Yellow River, and it will soon rush to the front line of the Jishui River to outflank it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info I can only let them go to death, and delay the speed of the northern Xinjiang iron cavalry to encircle Linyi, otherwise my 3,000 people will not be able to escape. ”

"How many moments can a thousand people be able to stop the iron cavalry of the Northern Frontier?" Wu Ju was extremely sad and angry, and scolded loudly.

"Isn't there still you?" Cai Yang bowed and said to Wu Ju, "Whether you can let 3,000 people escape the pursuit of the Northern Xinjiang Army depends on your ability." ”

Cai Yang flew on the horse, gave another salute, and hit the horse as if flying away.

………………

The golden morning sun shines on the vast fields, and the thin mist exudes a strong earthy smell, and the fresh breeze with a hint of coolness gently blows, which makes people feel refreshed.

Tens of thousands of iron cavalry troops were bathed in the warm sunlight and marched slowly.

Li Yi stood on the high slope of the horse, greedily took a few breaths of air, and let his long hair flutter in the wind.

Zhai Yu looked at the endless plain and the high and blue sky, and his heart was extremely shocked.

Central Plains, this is the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty!

In the fields, early farmers in twos and threes held farm tools in their hands, and looked at the roaring army of iron cavalry in horror.

"There is a war, and there is another war......"

"This is the Northern Frontier Iron Horse. Look at the battle flag, it is Li Yi's army in Hebei. ”

"Why are these people all disheveled? Is it a Hu person? ”

"Li Yi's subordinates are all Hu people, of course they are Hu people."

"The Hu people have entered the Central Plains, and the Hu people have entered the Central Plains......"

I don't know who shouted, and the farmer in the field suddenly screamed like a frightened rabbit, and fled in all directions.

The terrible and frightened cry came into Li Yi's ears with the wind.

Li Yi's heart twitched violently, and his eyes were full of helpless pain and sorrow.

Maybe one day, I will be accused of rebellion, and therefore infamous for generations, so that I will be stinking for thousands of years.

Yanzhou East County, Linyi City.

After Zhang Yanbing took Chiping without blood, he ordered Zhuge Liang to stay in Chiping temporarily, dispatched the people to immediately unload the grain and grass from the ship, and transported it to the front line with the army.

At this moment, the three armies of Yuwen Chengdu, Mu Shun and Wei Yan have been assembled under the city of Linyi. After Zhang Yan and Guan Hai arrived, more than 50,000 troops surrounded Linyi City.

Zhang Yan, Yuwen Chengdu, and Mu Shun stood under the city, their faces were ugly.

After Cai Yang withdrew from Chiping, he stationed in Linyi in time and held on to the city, which made the Northern Army's plan to encircle and annihilate him in the field failed. Although the Northern Frontier Army obtained Chiping and bought time for the unloading of grain and grass, the attack on Linyi may slow down the pace of the Northern Frontier Army's advance, so that the cities of Dongping have enough time to strengthen the defensive strength of the city.

Mu Shun believes that this situation is all caused by Zhang Yan's improper command and temporary change of strategy. If he had followed the original plan and crossed the Lizi River overnight to surround Linyi, the rebels who had withdrawn from Chiping in the middle of the night might have been wiped out.

However, considering that no one could accurately predict the time of Cai Yang's retreat, he could not blame Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan was very dissatisfied with Yuwen Chengdu. According to the calculation of time, if Yuwen Chengdu was not greedy to pursue and kill the 1,000 rebels who retreated to Qingting, he would definitely be able to surround the city before Cai Yang reached Linyi.

Yuwen Chengdu has been a personal guard general by the lord's side for nearly ten years, this time the lord led more than 70,000 Hu troops to the south, and there was a lack of generals, so he left the lord's side and commanded a Hu cavalry corps alone, but he was still directly controlled by the lord, Zhang Yan was not good to put on his face even if he was dissatisfied, so he could only sigh secretly.

Yuwen Chengdu, like Mu Shun, thinks that Zhang Yan is too self-righteous. What are you changing the plan made by the lord himself? Well, this complicates things.

At the same time, Yuwen Chengdu was also annoyed with Mu Shun. After the rebels fled from Chiping, you then led the army in pursuit, and you didn't catch up in just forty miles, is it because you are not in good command or your soldiers are not elite enough?

At this time, he forgot about the fact that Mu Shun's soldiers marched continuously for a day and a night. Mu Shun's soldiers were exhausted, and they were unable to kill the enemy if they had the intention to chase the enemy, and Mu Shun was worried that Yuwen Chengdu's iron cavalry had not yet arrived in Linyi, so he did not dare to chase too fast, and as a result, he chased the enemy into Linyi City instead.

The three of them were not happy, and no one spoke.

Several generals came in and asked for instructions a few times, asking if they would attack the city immediately. Zhang Yan just shook his head and didn't give the order for a long time.

"Has the lord arrived at Qingting?" Zhang Yan asked Yuwen Chengdu.

"It's here. The Lord prepared to cross the river and attack the valley city. Yuwen Chengdu handed Li Yi's letter to Zhang Yan and conveyed Li Yi's order, "The lord orders you to send grain, grass and river-crossing equipment to Qingting tonight. ”

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Does the lord know that we have surrounded the rebels in Linyi?" ”

"I don't know yet." Yuwen Chengdu said, "I have sent someone to report to the lord urgently. ”

The scouts rushed to the scene and reported: "The rebels are crossing the river at Linshanting, twenty miles ahead. ”

Zhang Yan, Yuwen Chengdu, and Mu Shun looked at each other, and they all bent down to look at the map spread on the ground.

"It's an empty city." Yuwen Chengdu whipped to the ground and scolded, "Order all the iron horsemen to kill Linshan Pavilion immediately, and ...... quickly"

The sound of the horn rose to the sky, the colorful banners flew all over the sky, and the iron horsemen turned their horses' heads and galloped towards the great plain to the south.

Suddenly, a huge roar shook the earth, and the smoke and dust that covered the sky swept through Linyi City.

Zhang Yan let out a long breath, sat on the ground tiredly, and slowly closed her eyes. He is really grateful to Cai Yang now, if it weren't for Cai Yang's trick to hide the world, he would definitely have to bear all the responsibility for delaying the speed of advancement.

"Order, immediately besiege the city, besiege the city." Mu Shun excitedly waved his horsewhip again and again, and ordered loudly.

"Report to the lord, the army will cross the Jishui River tonight and advance to Dongping Kingdom."

Yanzhou East County, Dong'e City.

Yang Bo, the military commander, roared wildly, let the spear stabbed by the enemy, and the combat knife in his hand was inserted into the enemy's lower abdomen like lightning, and the shield in his left hand of "Kill ......" smashed into the enemy's head and face almost at the same time.

The screams rushed straight into Yang Bo's ears, suddenly stimulating the beastly nature in his body.

"Get out of ......" Yang Bo roared again, concentrating the strength of his whole body and crashing into it.

The corpse of the enemy flew out of the city wall in the air, and the scarlet blood spurted out with the war knife that Yang Bo drew out, and immediately splashed the dumb head and face.

Yang Bo cursed viciously, stretched out his tongue and licked the blood splashed on the side of his mouth, turned back to his tun chief Huang Xiaohu and yelled: "Xiaohu, take someone to cut the sling, put down the suspension bridge, quick, fast, ......"

Tun Chang Huang Xiaohu's spear flashed, like a spiritual snake spitting out a letter, killing two people in a row in a blink of an eye, and said loudly: "Brothers, follow me, kill to the city tower, kill to the city tower......"

The enemy frantically counterattacked, intending to kill the Northern Xinjiang Army that was the first to rush up the city wall, but this Northern Xinjiang Army was too powerful, one person was as fierce as a tiger, completely ignoring life and death, two people could defend themselves with their backs, three people could attack in formation, and four people could block the invincible and move forward bravely.

Three spears roared and killed.

Yang Bo's war knife was stationed, and the shield in his hand was fully out, and with a "dang" sound, the spear stabbed the shield fiercely, and the huge impact force made Yang Bo's tiger mouth crack, and his body involuntarily retreated rapidly.

The soldiers behind Yang Bo roared angrily, and their short bodies carried Yang Bo's body. The soldiers on the left and right sides of Yang Bo each raised their swords, and roared and chopped down with lightning speed, and the two spears broke at the waist.

The enemy, who had lost his weapon, quickly retreated, but two bloody spears suddenly shot out from behind Yang Bo's shield, like whistling arrows, piercing through the enemy's corpse in an instant.

The remaining enemy was about to raise his spear and stab again, Yang Bo in front of him suddenly squatted down, and the soldier who was holding Yang Bo just now suddenly straightened his body, and the short crossbow raised in his hand let out a piercing roar in an instant.

The close enemy could not hide, and was shot upside down by three crossbow arrows.

"Kill ......" Yang Bo jumped up, and the two soldiers who were covering on his side slashed down at the same time, and the body that flew upside down was suddenly cut into a blur of flesh and blood, and the long stone steps were planted in the air, "Brothers, kill down, open the city gate, open the city gate......"

………………

Guan Yu came with a team of personal guards Pegasus, and Sun Guan hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Won Dong'a so quickly?" Guan Yu looked at Da Xu, who was dancing in the wind on the city tower, smiled, and the horse whip in his hand struck Sun Guan on his helmet a few times, "Xiahou Yuan ran away?" ”

"General Zhao Yun has led the iron cavalry to chase down." Sun Guan arched his hand and said, "Xiahou Yuan moved very fast, and it is estimated that he has fled a hundred miles away along the Lizi River. ”

Guan Yu asked in surprise, "So accurate?" ”

"We caught the Dong'e County Order, and he said that Xiahou Yuan evacuated Dong'e last night." Sun Guan sneered, "No matter how fast this kid runs, he is not as fast as our iron horseman." ”

"Order Zilong to immediately stop the pursuit, rest on the spot, and wait to join the army." Guan Yu whipped at the herald behind him and said loudly, "Tell Sima Yi that the grain and grass should not be transported to Dong'a, and will be transported directly from Cangting to Fancheng." ”

"Ordered Li Zhong to immediately lead the follow-up army, protect the grain and grass, and rush to Fancheng day and night."

More than a dozen heralds responded and galloped away.

Guan Yu yawned, sat on the horse and stretched comfortably, and said, "It's been two days and one night, and the soldiers are very tired, so I ordered them to rest for four hours immediately, eat and sleep." ”

"Is the general going into the city to rest?" Sun Guan asked.

"That's it here." Guan Yu turned over and dismounted, pointing to the green grass, "I'll sleep first, I can't hold it anymore." Remember to bring me something to eat. (To be continued.) )
