Royal Road

Chapter 244: Surprise attack

Fukouxing is located between Shenmiao Mountain and Fushan Mountain. It is a long and narrow river valley formed by the meandering Fuyang River. Therefore, the terrain of this temple is gentler than that of the other several temples, and Wei Wu once set up a grain road here. From this, Xingdong came out to aid Zhao and Wei. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

At this moment, there are soldiers in the Xingdao, and they are still a cavalry rushing forward. Four thousand horses are about to fill the river valley. The riverside is cold and slippery in winter. Horses cannot run too fast. They must dismount and climb when they reach dangerous places. It has been almost two days, whether it is a man or a horse, it has reached the point of exhaustion. But even so, this team still did not have any stagnation, like a silent pack of wolves, murderously awe-inspiring.

"General, the front is Fukouguan."

Yi Yan squinted his eyes and looked forward. The not-so-large city gate stood in the twilight, looking a little hazy.

"Walk to lockdown, camp and rest." He ordered.

It took nearly five hundred miles in three days, which is an unimaginable number for any army. Tiger Wolf Camp is not enough horses now, and can't do two horses for one person. Days of rushing marches, even these durable Xiongnu horses are a little strenuous. Not to mention the immediate knight.

One night’s rest is imperative. Wait until the early morning of tomorrow, when it is time to march into the army.

Upon hearing the order, the soldiers immediately cheered up. The training of the Tiger Wolf Camp is more stringent than the other two battalions, and these cavalry all pride themselves on being the elite of the elite. But even so, the long journey almost drained their stamina. If it weren't for strict military discipline, and the coach went with them, it would be really hard to resist.

With the goal, the last part of the road traveled quickly, and soon came to the city. The guards here are naturally also the troops of the state. They have already received the military order to prepare the camp and eat. Fukouxing is much more spacious than other tunnels, and thousands of soldiers and horses can barely settle down in camps.

Yi Yan jumped off the horse, took out a handful of salted beans, and fed them to Ai Ju. Even Wusun Liangma, who had been racing for more than a hundred miles for two days in a row, would be exhausted day by day. With a snort, it arched its master like a coquettish, and ate up the snack.

Gently stroking the mane on the horse's back, Yi Yan walked back to the tent and arranged for the siege tomorrow. When several generals saw Yi Yan's appearance, they all felt admiration deeply. Five hundred miles in a hurry, how can General Yi maintain such energy? Could it be that he is truly invincible, but the incarnation of the **** of war? Only Wang Long, who had been following Yiyan, muttered in his heart. The fact that his family is cold is terrifying, how can it be like this on weekdays? However, Wang Long wouldn't talk nonsense about this.

The cavalry attacked the city, relying on its unpreparedness. Now that they have taken the lead, they really don't need to make any layout. With little effort, this pre-war small meeting ended. Wang Long leaned in while Yi Yan was out of the account, and asked in a low voice, "General, what do I need to remember about the battle of tomorrow?"

Yi Yan looked over coldly: "Kill all the thieves and bandits, don't hurt the people."

...What kind of advice is this? Which war was not the case? However, without waiting for him to ask again, Yi Yan had already turned around and returned to his mount, lying on the ground with his clothes. The armor was cold and heavy in the winter night, but he didn't plan to remove the armor, so he closed his eyes.

Seeing the coach look like a stranger would not enter, Wang Long scratched his head. Well, as long as you return with a big victory, you will always get better, right? A sentry night was arranged, and Wang Long also returned to his camp, and soon fell asleep.

In the distance, a woman's screams were heard. I don't know what happened, the sound was hysterical and chilled. But Shi Le didn't care much. Which team of Erlang is having fun again, right? After fighting for so long, he doesn't mind letting the soldiers relax and enjoy the "success".

It has been five days since I entered Yecheng. According to the truth, I should leave as soon as possible. But don't say the soldiers below, even Ji Sang couldn't help being dazzled by this male city. The old Wei Palace was so gorgeous that it was beyond imagination. Sima Teng hadn't had time to remove the belongings from the palace at all. The curtains hanging in the palace alone did not know the value. This is still Yecheng that was ransacked by Duan's Xianbei once. Who can imagine how magnificent it looked back then?

If you have such a city, you will not live your life in vain! Not to mention Ji Sang, even Shi Le had this idea in his mind. It's just that he knows that his own foundation is insufficient, and he is far from occupying Yecheng. The best way is to ransack the property in the city and retreat.

It's a pity that there are not enough families in the city. If you can kill more people, it will be great. There was a cruel look on the typical face of a nonsense. Shi Le didn't like those high-ranking officials and nobles. Those people would never treat foreign races like them as adults. Back then, he was like a cow and a horse, held by Sima Teng and bought in Yanzhou. If it weren't for the master, Shi Huan, he might have been buried in his hometown.

How can I say that he is also the son of Xiaoshuai of the tribe, just because he is a Jie, he has to endure such humiliation? Shi Le didn't think so. Just by looking at Sima Teng's wretched look, he knew that he should change his seat in this world. But the benefactor Ji Sang, what seems to be missing? Maybe he is out of Yecheng, should he give advice to the marshal and go to Han? Liu Yuan has now occupied Hedong, and his momentum is really not small. To vote for him may be more promising than under the banner of the pseudo-imperial Sima Ying.

The constant screaming stopped abruptly, and Shi Le raised his eyebrows. He had been in this city long enough, and it was time to leave.

"General Shi!" A soldier suddenly rushed into the courtyard with a scorched expression, "An enemy has attacked Yecheng!"

"What?" Shi Le was shocked, "Is it Youzhou Soldier?"

"No! The people who came from Fukouxing were all Qingqi!"

Oops, it's the Union State Soldier! Shi Le said sternly: "Hurry up and call for the general. It's time to withdraw troops!"

He also heard that Bingzhou's soldiers and horses were so powerful. Before the Xiongnu had defeated the party, it seemed that the coach had died. But how can this group of people come so fast? !

But Shi Leduo thought about it. Four thousand cavalry rushed like an undercurrent. Because of the looting army, how can those bandits stop the armored cavalry? The city gate was breached immediately, and the cavalry rushed into the city and started street fighting!

It stands to reason that street fighting is always more advantageous to defend one side. But this group of rogues was completely unprepared, burning, killing, looting and looting even consumed morale and energy. Like a ruin, the Tiger Wolf Camp broke through the outer line of defense and killed the handsome tent parked near the palace.

"General! Can't stop it!" Shi Le rode on the horse and shouted to Ji Sang, "It's better to divide the troops and rush out of the city!"

Yecheng is a big city after all, with roads extending in all directions and more than one city gate. There are few enemy troops, so it is not advisable to divide the troops, and must assemble in one place. If they were divided into several teams, scattered and fleeing, the enemy might not be able to tell which one was the Chinese army.

Ji Sang had just climbed down from a woman. He had drunk too much, and his sanity was a little unclear. How could he tell these things? Under the command of Shi Le, the Chinese army began to break through the south gate. Because they were born as herdsmen, there were quite a few horse soldiers in this group of gangsters. At this moment, they had given up their treasures and everything, and escaped quickly. However, I don't know if the other party had planned for a long time, or the blind cat ran into the dead mouse and unexpectedly encountered the guard at the gate of the city!

"Kill out!" Shi Le drew his saber fiercely and shouted loudly.

They just killed Sima Teng and ransacked Yecheng. How could they lose here? As long as you rush out of the city and return to the camp, isn't it still unstoppable?

However, their horse team hadn't gotten close to the city gate, and the arrow rain hit them!

bad! This is not a bow, it is a crossbow! How come these cavalrymen still carry crossbows? Although the Yecheng treasury was ransacked and the confidants were equipped with armor, the horses were not armored! Suddenly, several horses smashed their feet and threw the knight on their backs!

"General, let's change to another city gate!" You confidant shouted loudly.

Shi Le gritted his teeth: "Chong! Don't stop!"

There are only fifty guards, and it is likely that a defense is set up at each gate. If you change places, it will only delay more time, causing them to be caught up by the chasing soldiers. The best way now is to use the power of the number of people to break out of the siege in one fell swoop!

With Shi Le's order, the soldiers equipped with wooden shields immediately increased the speed of their horses and rushed forward to resist the arrow rain. After all, there were more than eight hundred horses, but just after a while, they rushed to the gate of the city to meet with the defenders. This group of people has great archery skills and amazing sword skills, and there is a simple antler tripline at the door, trying to stop them.

Shi Le would just admit defeat, and personally led his confidant to kill. This is simply the hardest battle he has ever faced since he rose up. With only fifty people, they abruptly blocked their escape. What if the main enemy force comes? Shi Le's hair exploded, and the sword danced like a flywheel, blood was scattered, and his eyes were red.

At this moment, an exclamation came from the rear: "General!"

Oops. Shi Le looked back and saw that Ji Sang fell off the horse. This shout also attracted the attention of the defenders. The defenders surrounding the forward actually retreated, wanting to kill the thief chieftain in one fell swoop.

That's Ji Sang! It is to promote him and turn him from a horse thief into a leading general, a benefactor who will give him a name! However, the hesitation was only a moment, Shi Le slammed his horse belly hard, like an arrow from the string, rushing out of the encirclement!

"General!" The confidant around him also rushed out, his face pale, "The general is still in the formation!"

"Lead the troops back and save again!" Shi Le said sharply.

However, they did not find the big camp outside the city. It was as if it had been plowed once, and the camp had been overwhelmed by cavalry. Those originally weak-willed refugees fled in all directions, and even the rebels under his command were defeated.

They lost. Defeated!

Shi Le recognized the situation instantly. This is not an enemy that the rogues can solve, let alone killed them while they were taking captives and enjoying themselves.

"Withdraw! Leave Yecheng and gather the tribes again!" Shi Le made a decisive decision and gave the order.

A confidant entangled: "But the general is still in the city..."

Shi Lena's deep tiger eyes revealed a cold killing intent: "The general was killed by the Jin army. Let's regroup and avenge the general!"

These words immediately silenced the people around him. Shi Le didn't care about these unopened guys, staring bitterly at the huge tower of Yecheng, waved his horse whip, followed behind the defeated soldier, and fled.
