Shangyong, Xicheng.
As the sun set in the west, the sound of war drums and shouts of killing that had been ringing all day finally subsided. The piles of corpses outside the city were too horrific to behold.
Blood was gurgling in the moat, and internal organs, broken arms and limbs, headless corpses, and rolling human heads were floating on the water.
There were more than a hundred soldiers on each side, without any weapons, collecting the corpses of their respective soldiers.
Many corpses cannot be identified and can only be identified by the leather armor on their bodies.
As for the broken arms and limbs and human heads, whoever is closest to them collects them.
The corpses of Shu soldiers were piled up in piles, like hills. The bodies of the Han army were much less. When attacking and defending the city, the disparity in casualties between soldiers on both sides was already huge, not to mention that the Han army had so many powerful weapons.
In the commander's tent outside the city, the coach Zhang Ren and the military captain Huang Quan sat opposite each other, their faces gloomy, and neither of them spoke.
Since the army entered Shangyong, they have been attacking for five consecutive days and paid a heavy price. They felt that the Han army's defense equipment was almost exhausted, and they should take the west city in one go today. But unexpectedly, the Han army had another powerful weapon, the invincible thunder, which caught them off guard.
This kind of weapon was so overbearing that they directly lost more than a thousand soldiers, and the death was extremely miserable, which caused huge psychological pressure on every soldier. From now on, whenever they see that kind of ceramic jar, or hear that A loud thunder-like sound will make you frightened and have no fighting spirit.
There are only three cities in Shangyong, and the west city is not very tall and strong, but they have lost more than 10,000 troops and horses and still have not broken through.
How easy is it to win Shangyong?
They were full of confidence when they came, but at this time, both Zhang Ren and Huang Quan felt very helpless and powerless.
"Report to the general, General Yan Yan wants to see you!" At this time, a soldier entered the commander's tent to report.
"Let him in!"
"No!"
After the soldiers left, Yan Yan opened the curtain and entered the commander's tent.
"See General Zhang, Huang joins the army!" Yan Yan bowed his hands to the two of them.
"General Yan, no courtesy!" Yan Yan is a veteran general in Shu. Pang Xi has been stationed in Bajun since then and is also very prestigious among the Shu army. Therefore, Zhang Ren and Huang Quan also bowed their hands to Yan Yan as a courtesy. treat each other.
"General Zhang, Huang Canjun, this battle can't go on like this!" Yan Yan looked very angry, "If we go on like this, even if we lose all our troops, we won't be able to break through the West City, let alone Shangyong. Got it!"
"General Yan, please calm down. Huang Canjun and I feel bad too!" Zhang Ren had no choice but to explain patiently to Yan Yan's anger, "We paid a lot for attacking the city from the front, and the equipment used to defend the city was probably also consumed. It's almost done, but I never thought that the Han army would have such a powerful weapon as the invincible sky thunder. Today's siege failed and so many soldiers were lost. It's all my fault!"
"I don't know if General Yan came to command the army with a plan to defeat the enemy, or just to accuse the two of us!" Huang Quan was obviously dissatisfied with Yan Yan's attitude. In terms of official positions, Yan Yan was just the governor of Ba County, while Huang Quan was As for the relationship between the two parties at this time, Huang Quan was a lieutenant in the army and Yan Yan was just a general. The only thing Yan Yan relied on was his seniority in Shu.
"How dare I accuse you two?" Yan Yan bowed his hands to Huang Quan and Zhang Ren again, "There is a trail in the mountains on the right side of the West City. You can go directly to Shangyong by going around it. The general thought that we should send a team of soldiers and horses to capture it first along the trail. Shangyong, then attack Fengling, and finally attack Xicheng from both sides."
"Can we only send up to 5,000 troops to take a detour? But there are also 10,000 Han troops in Shangyong City. Let alone siege the city, the 5,000 troops and horses will be sandwiched between Xicheng and Shangyong. I'm afraid it will soon be over. Killed by the opponent!" Zhang Ren shook his head and said.
He and Huang Quan had already thought of the method Yan Yan mentioned, but after thinking about it repeatedly, they felt that there was almost no chance of winning, so they gave up.
"General Yan, General Zhang and I have discussed your method and feel that it is not feasible!" Huang Quan also said.
"What can we do with ten thousand soldiers and horses? There is no leader for a group of dragons, so why should we be afraid?" Yan Yan said disapprovingly after hearing what Zhang Ren and Huang Quan said.
"Leaderless?" Zhang Ren frowned and suddenly felt enlightened, "Old General Yan is right! The Han army in Shangyong has many soldiers and horses, but there are no generals. Why didn't we think of this earlier? "
"That's right!" Huang Quan also suddenly realized.
There are 20,000 Han troops in Shangyong, but there is only one general, Guo Huai.
"General Zhang, HuangArmy, the last general is willing to lead five thousand soldiers and horses, bypass the trail and attack Shangyong! "Yan Yan immediately asked for orders.
"Old General, this mountain road is difficult to navigate"
"Huang Canjun, I have been in the army for half my life and have fought countless battles. What does this mountain road mean?" Yan Yan interrupted Huang Quan's words, "Now that I am over fifty years old, the days of galloping on the battlefield are getting fewer and fewer day by day. I I have been favored by my old master, please let me serve the King of Shu again!"
Huang Quan thinks that the suitable candidate should be Wu Lan or Lei Tong. Although Yan Yan is a fierce general in Shu, he is old after all. But he didn't expect Yan Yan's attitude to be so resolute, so he looked at Zhang Ren, meaning to let Zhang Ren make a decision.
"I admire the old general's loyalty to the King of Shu very much, but"
"General Zhang, I am only over fifty years old, how can I be old! Lian Po is seventy years old, but he can still lead an army to fight! Huang Zhong of Jingzhou is also over fifty years old, but he defeated Zhang Fei, fought Guan Yu, and killed Xia Houyuan, Now he is known as the number one general in Jingzhou, why don¡¯t you ask General Zhang to do it for you!" Yan Yan said and knelt down.
"Old General, please get up quickly, I promise!" Zhang Ren hurriedly helped Yan Yan up with both hands, "Now I order General Yan Yan to lead five thousand soldiers and horses, bypass the Xicheng Trail, and raid Shangyong!"
"Promise!" Yan Yan immediately became full of fighting spirit and became much more energetic.
After leaving the camp, he immediately ordered all five thousand soldiers and horses in his headquarters, and then buried the pot to make rice.
After eating the war meal, it was already dark. Taking advantage of the darkness, Yan Yan led his army to set off.
Although the Xicheng Trail is rugged and difficult to navigate, for Yan Yan of Bajun, it is nothing because it is much flatter than the Shu Trail.
Therefore, the Shu army's movement was not slow. At dawn, they had already bypassed Xicheng and arrived in a valley.
Yan Yan asked the soldiers to stop and repair on the spot.
After marching all night, everyone felt very tired. As soon as they sat down, their bones seemed to fall apart and their limbs felt sleepy and weak.
Yan Yan also felt that her eyelids were a little heavy and wanted to take a nap.
"Kill!" But at this moment, a burst of shouts of killing came from all directions.
Yan Yan was shocked and jumped up.
"Where did the enemy troops come from?"
Soon, countless Han troops came out of the valley and surrounded them. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
