Back to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 242: Scream

As night fell, Chen Lang boarded the Gaogang on the shore of the Weishui River and looked across the river. He saw a big city next to the sparkling Weishui River, lit by lights, and a lonely one. That is Tianshui, the important town south of Weishui River, also known as Qinzhou. Standing behind Chen Lang, Zhang Liao said, "Qinzhou City has ample reserves and a lot of defensive forces. I am afraid it will be difficult to break! In the end, the general will think that Qinzhou should be abandoned, and Didao should be attacked, and then he will break Xiliang! As soon as the cool breaks, Dong Zhuo's army will surely come back in a hurry!"

Chen Lang thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Wen Yuan is right!" Then he smiled and said, "But we are going to make the enemy troops in Qinzhou panic and think that we are about to launch a fierce attack!" Zhang Liao's eyes lit up and praised. Said: "This is the time when the sound is going to hit the west!" Chen Lang carefully ordered Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao clasped his fist and promised and hurried away.

In the middle of the night, the rapid sirens suddenly broke the quiet night of Tianshui. The awakened soldiers and civilians heard the harsh sound of gongs echoing in the night sky, and only felt frightened!

Li Que hurriedly jumped off his concubine's beautiful body, ignoring his pants, put on his armor robe and rushed out of the bedroom! I ran into a general who was hurriedly entering, and asked in a hurry; "What's the matter?"

The general hurriedly said: "I just received a report that the Ying Yang army on the opposite side raided a sentry on our riverside! The specific situation is not known yet!"

Li Que was very anxious and exclaimed; "It has been calm all the time. Why did the Ying Yang army suddenly come to attack?" Then he said to the generals; "Assemble all the soldiers and horses and prepare to fight!" The generals led away. The noise inside and outside Tianshui City immediately rose, and teams of soldiers and horses were mobilizing in a hurry.

Li Que hurriedly recruited a witch and asked her to ask the gods.

Soon after, a military report came, saying that a small eagle and Yang army had captured a guard on the shore, but was repelled by the patrol that was sent for reinforcements, and the battle was over. Soon after, all the ministries will report back, saying that the enemy army that had attacked has been repelled. Li Que said joyfully: "This is the result of God's blessing!" Then he rewarded the witch again. The ministries were very upset at this scene, but they were helpless and dared not say anything.

Early the next morning, there was a thunderous sound of war drums across Weishui, and the soldiers and civilians of Tianshui couldn't help but lift their hearts.

Li Que hurriedly rushed to the North City Gate and looked towards the opposite side, only to see the shadows and flags on the opposite shore, as if more than a hundred thousand troops had been assembled! The sound of war drums was shaking, and there were bursts of shouts! Li Que's expression changed, and he said in disbelief, "Isn't the Yingyang army constrained by the Xianbei? How can such a large army be mobilized to attack?"

"Look, general!" General Zhang Long hurriedly pointed to the other side and shouted.

Li Que looked in the direction of Zhang Long's fingers, and he saw nearly a thousand eagles crossing over in a raft. Li Que frowned and said, "The enemy has attacked!"

Ying Yangjun drove the boat to the middle of the river, and Dong Zhuojun, who was guarding the shore, immediately fired an arrow! Arrow rain leaped to the surface of the river and fell, either falling into the water or being blocked by the opponent's shield! Immediately afterwards, the Yingyang Army's bow and crossbow fired back, and the powerful arrows flew ashore with howling, but most of them were blocked by the opponent's shield!

Tang Lan, who was in charge of guarding the river bank, saw the enemy continue to approach, and in a hurry, she hurriedly ordered the catapult to launch. I saw dozens of hundreds of catapults making huge noises, and hundreds of boulders roared over the surface of the river. They fell into the water and caused countless soaring water jets. Several boat rafts were hit by the boulders and fell apart in an instant. The river water scattered, and the Yingyang officers and soldiers on it fell into the water and swam back to their bank.

The officers and soldiers of Dong Zhuo's army cheered when they saw the slings playing their skills. The eagle on the river may have been photographed by the great power of the catapult. He dared not move forward and hurried back! An offensive by the Ying Yang army has failed!

Li Que saw that Ying Yang's offensive had been repelled, he laughed; "It's really a bunch of stupid things, this kind of attack has a shit!"

In the next ten days or so, the Yingyang Army continued to attack, but every time they attacked, they could not even climb to the south bank of the Weishui River and they were repelled by Dong Zhuojun’s crossbows and catapults. After ten days, Yingyang Army Thousands of people were lost, but no progress was made. Dong Zhuojun was very nervous when facing the attack of the Yingyang Army, but after successfully defending for ten days, Dong Zhuojun’s officers and soldiers were no longer nervous. Many officers and soldiers would still speak witty words when the Yingyang Army came to attack. ! The atmosphere on the battlefield was not tense at all, it seemed very relaxed.

However, as a general, Li Que faintly felt something was wrong. That night, Li Que was upset and unable to sleep, so he ordered Tang Lan and Zhang Long, two of his most trusted ministers, to be recruited.

Li Que frowned and said, "The enemy's attacks in the past ten days are really not like the style of the Ying Yang army should be!"

Tang Lan nodded and said: "The end general also feels the same! Ying Yang's attacks have always been fierce and unusual, but this time their attacks are too, too weak!"

Zhang Long glanced at Tang Lan, and said in an angry manner: "I don't think it's so strange! Not all of them are eagle-eyed!"

Li Que lowered his head thinking, and suddenly asked, "Do you think this is Chen Lang's trick?"

Tang Lan and Zhang Long glanced at each other, and Zhang Long asked inexplicably: "If this is a strategy to attack the west, then where is this west? Isn't it our Tianshui?"

Li Que pondered for a moment, and suddenly his expression changed, and he shouted, "Di Dao!" Tang Lan and Zhang Long were taken aback. Zhang Long said in disbelief, "This, it's impossible!"

Li Que was very disturbed and said anxiously; "Hurry up and send someone to Didao to investigate the situation!" The two hurriedly agreed.

At this moment, a blood-stained officer suddenly rushed in from outside the door, and knelt down in front of Li Que with a thump, shouting: "General, it's not good!" Li Que was taken aback and recognized immediately. Ren, asked anxiously; "Aren't you the guard officer beside Duan Yan? Why did you come to me? What happened?"

The officer said with a lingering fear: "The Eagle and Yang army raided us, and we were defeated!"

Li Que only felt a thunder from the sun! Then he shouted furiously: "Duan Yan has 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands. How can he say that he is defeated? What does he eat? I told Duan Yan to be tightly guarded and not slack. Does he take my words as wind in his ears? ?"

The officer hurriedly said: "No, no, no! General Duan Yan did not dare to slacken off and set up a lot of guards. However, the enemy came in disguised as soldiers and horses of a general. Our army was not suspected of fraud, and they entered the barracks. As a result, They suddenly attacked! At this time, the enemy brigade that had been ambushing outside also suddenly launched, and the enemy forces from inside and outside joined forces to attack. Although our army resisted desperately, they were defeated in the end!"

Li Que's face was green and white, and he was speechless for a while. Thinking of one thing, he quickly asked: "The fifty thousand army will not be annihilated? Where is his Duan Yan now?"

The officer hurriedly said: "Although our army has suffered heavy losses, the entire army has not been wiped out. General Duan Yan has led the remnants to retreat to Jincheng. General Duan Wei asked me to come and ask the general to rush to support, otherwise I am afraid that Jincheng will also Can't keep it!"

Li Que cursed angrily: "Duan Yan still has the face to come to me for help? I can't wait to tear down his bones!" The officer was terrified and dared not say anything.

Zhang Long leaned into Li Que's ear and whispered: "General, Jincheng is the last barrier in Xiliang. If it is broken by Yingyang Army, Yingyang Army will be able to drive straight to sweep Xiliang, and the consequences will be disastrous!"

Li Que frowned and said to Zhang Long, "I will give you 20,000 horses. You immediately get up to help Jincheng, and you must help Duan Yan to keep Jincheng!" Zhang Long held his fist and promised, and then hurried down with the officer.

Li Queqing couldn't help cursing: "Cunning Eagle Yangjun!"

The news of Di Dao's fall was spread in Tianshui City, and the originally relaxed atmosphere became tense. At this time Dong Zhuojun realized with horror that Ying Yangjun was still the same!

It is said that Zhang Lang led the officer with 20,000 soldiers and horses to leave Tianshui to help Jincheng. An emergency report came halfway, Ying Yang army was surrounding Jincheng and attacked, the situation can be said to be precarious. The officer hurriedly said to Zhang Long; "General, the military situation is urgent, please speed up!" Zhang Longchong's subordinates roared: "Don't worry about the formation, go forward at full speed!" The 20,000 Dong Zhuo cavalry ran at full speed, smoke and dust, formation. It's gone! At this moment, Zhang Long and the others have only one thought, that is, to get to Jincheng as soon as possible!

The army was on the way, and the next morning, 20,000 cavalry rushed to a place just over a hundred miles away from Jincheng. This place is different from the Tianshui side. There are no high mountains and ridges, only a few low hills. Looking at it, the green grass is endless, mixed with thick woods. There is already some scenery outside the grassland!

Twenty thousand soldiers and horses drove the road for a day and a night. Zhang Long looked far away, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and muttered, "It's finally here! I hope Jincheng is intact!"

At this moment, a long horn suddenly came! Everyone was shocked, and an officer exclaimed in shock: "This, this is the horn of the Yingyang Army!" As if responding to his words, the sound of the drums rang out loud! At the same time, with flags surging from all directions, tens of thousands of eagles and soldiers appeared and surrounded Zhang Long's 20,000 soldiers and horses! Zhang Long was shocked and exclaimed: "No! There is an ambush!"

At this moment, Ying Yang's army sent a dense rain of arrows and fell into Dong Zhuo's army. Dong Zhuo's soldiers turned on their backs, and many officers and soldiers fell with arrows!

Zhang Long hurriedly led the troops to break through the original road, but slammed into the body of three thousand warriors with great swords! I saw that the iron armor was as indestructible as a wall, the blades were flying through the sky, and the exhausted Dong Zhuojun, who had been on the road for a day and a night, couldn't break through the defense line of the sword warrior. As a result of the reckless charge, only a corpse piled up!
