Royal road

Chapter 244 surprise attack

Fukouxing is located between Shenfu Mountain and Fushan Mountain. It is a narrow and long valley formed by the meandering of Fuyang River.Therefore, the terrain of this Xing is gentler than other Xings. Wei Wu once set up grain roads here.Going out of Xingdong from this point can help Zhao and Wei, and it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

At this moment, there are soldiers in Xingdao, and they are still a cavalry rushing forward.Four thousand horses almost filled the river valley, and the riverside was cold and slippery in winter. The horses could not run too fast, and they had to dismount and climb when they came to dangerous places.It has been two days of fast horse driving, and both people and horses have reached the point of exhaustion.But even so, this team still has no stagnation, like a silent pack of wolves, with awe-inspiring murderous intent.

"General, Fuguchi Pass is ahead."

Yiyan narrowed his eyes and looked forward.The not tall city gate stood tall in the twilight, looking a little hazy.

"Go to the pass, set up camp and rest." He ordered.

They traveled nearly [-] miles in three days, which is an unimaginable number for any army.There are not enough horses in the Tiger Wolf Battalion now, and it is impossible for one person to ride with two. The rapid march for several days, even these durable Hun horses, are a bit difficult.Not to mention horse riders.

A night's rest is imperative.Waiting until the early morning of tomorrow will be the time to make a large-scale march.

Hearing the order, the soldiers immediately cheered up.The drills of the Tiger Wolf Battalion are more rigorous than those of the other two battalions. These cavalrymen all claim to be the best of the best.But even so, the long journey almost exhausted their physical strength.If it weren't for the strict military discipline, and the commander ate and walked with them, he really couldn't resist.

With a goal in mind, the last section of the road was walked quickly, and it didn't take long to arrive at the city.Naturally, the guards here are also from Bingzhou. They have already received the military order and prepared their tents and food.Fukou Xing is much more spacious than other Xing roads, and thousands of soldiers and horses can barely settle down in camp.

Yiyan jumped off the horse, took out a handful of beans with salt, and fed it to the horse.Even a good Wusun horse, galloping for more than [-] miles for two consecutive days, is exhausted every day.Snorting, it slapped its master coquettishly, and chewed up the snacks.

Gently stroking the mane on the horse's back, Yiyan walked back to the tent to make arrangements for the siege of the city tomorrow.Seeing Yiyan's appearance, several generals deeply admired him.Hurry for five hundred miles, how can General Yi maintain such energy?Could it be that he is really invincible, but the incarnation of God of War?Only Wang Long, who had been by Yiyan's side all the time, was a little bit worried.It's frighteningly cold at his house, how could it be like this on weekdays?But on this point, Wang Long would not talk nonsense.

The cavalry attacked the city by attacking its unpreparedness.Now that they have taken the lead, they really don't need to make any arrangements.In a short time, this pre-war meeting will come to an end.Taking advantage of Yiyan leaving the tent, Wang Long leaned over and asked in a low voice: "General, is there anything you need to remember about tomorrow's battle?"

Yiyan looked over coldly: "Kill all the bandits, don't hurt the common people."

... What kind of advice is this?Which war is not like this?However, before he could ask again, Yiyan had already turned around, returned to his mount, and lay down on the ground with his clothes closed.The armor was cold and heavy in the winter night, but he had no intention of removing it, so he just closed his eyes.

Looking at the coach's appearance that strangers should not enter, Wang Long scratched his head.Forget it, as long as they come back with a big victory, they will get better after all, right?Arranged to be on duty at night, 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, but the voice was hysterical and sent chills down the spine.But Shi Le didn't care a bit.Which team is looking for fun again?After fighting for so long, he didn't mind letting the soldiers relax and enjoy the "fruits of battle".

It has been five days since I entered Yecheng, so logically, I should leave as soon as possible.But not to mention the soldiers below, even Ji Sang couldn't help being dazzled by this majestic city.The Wei Palace in the old days was so gorgeous that it was beyond imagination. Sima Teng didn't have time to remove the belongings in the palace. The value of the hanging silk curtains in the palace is unknown.This is the city of Ye that was looted once by Duan's Xianbei. Who can imagine how magnificent it was back then?

If you have such a city, you will not live this life in vain!Not to mention Ji Sang, even Shi Le had such thoughts in his heart.It's just that he knows that his family's foundation is insufficient, and it is far from being able to occupy Yecheng.After looting the property in the city, pat your ass and retreat, that is the best way.

It's a pity that there aren't enough families in the city, it would be fun if we could kill more people.On that typical barbarian face, there was a look of cruelty.Shi Le didn't like those high-ranking dignitaries, those people would never treat foreigners like them as human beings.Back then, he was captured by Sima Teng like a cow and horse, and bought into Yanzhou. If his master, Shi Huan, didn't value him, he might have been buried in a foreign land.

After all, he is also the son of the handsome guy from the tribe, but because he is a Jie, he has to endure such humiliation?Shi Le didn't think so.Just looking at Sima Teng's extremely useless appearance, he knew that it was time for someone else to sit in this world.But the benefactor, Ji Sang, seems to be missing something?Maybe after leaving Yecheng, he should advise the commander-in-chief and defect to the Han Kingdom?Liu Yuan has now occupied Hedong, and his momentum is really not small.Voting for him may be more promising than playing the false emperor Sima Ying's banner.

The continuous screaming stopped abruptly, Shi Le raised his eyebrows, he had stayed in this city long enough, it was time to leave.

"General Shi!" A soldier rushed into the courtyard suddenly, his face scorched, "There are enemies attacking Ye City!"

"What?" Shi Le was startled, "Is it Youzhou soldiers?"

"No! The calls from Fukouxing are all Qingqi!"

Too bad, it turned out to be Bingzhou soldiers!Shi Le said sharply: "Hurry up and send troops to find the general. It's time to withdraw!"

He had also heard about the strength of Bingzhou soldiers and horses. The Xiongnu had defeated Shangdang before, and it seemed that the commander died.But how could this group of people come so fast? !

But Shi Le couldn't help thinking about it.Four thousand cavalry rushed in like an undercurrent.Just because the looting army was distracted, how could those bandit soldiers stop the armored cavalry?The gate of the city was breached immediately, the cavalry rushed into the city, and street fighting started!

It stands to reason that street fighting is always more beneficial to the defensive side.But this group of rogues were totally unprepared, and the burning, killing and looting exhausted their morale and energy.Like a broken man, the Tiger Wolf Battalion broke through the outer line of defense and charged towards the handsome tent parked near the palace.

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

After all, Yecheng is a big city, with roads extending in all directions and more than one city gate.The enemy's army is small, so it is not suitable to divide the army, so it must be assembled in one place.If they were divided into several teams and fled in all directions, the enemy may not be able to distinguish which one is the Chinese army.

Ji Sang just climbed off the woman, drank too much alcohol, his sanity is a little unclear, how can he tell these things?Under the command of Shi Le, the Chinese army began to break through to the south gate.Because they were herdsmen, there were quite a few cavalry soldiers in this group of rogues, so they escaped quickly without their treasures and luggage.However, I don't know if the other party had premeditated it, or the blind cat bumped into the dead mouse, and unexpectedly ran into the guards at the gate of the city!

"Get out!" Shi Le pulled out his saber fiercely and shouted loudly.

They just killed Sima Teng and looted Yecheng, how could they lose here?As long as he rushed out of the city and returned to the camp, wouldn't he still be unstoppable?

However, before their horse team approached the city gate, the rain of arrows hit their heads and faces!

Oops!It's not a bow, it's a crossbow!Why do these cavalry still have crossbows?Although the treasury of Yecheng was looted and everyone in his confidantes was equipped with armor, the horses had no armor!Immediately, several horses neighed and stumbled, throwing off the riders on their backs!

"General, let's change the city gate!" A confidant shouted loudly.

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

There were only 50 guards, and it is likely that defenses were set up at every gate.If they change places, it will only delay more time and cause them to be overtaken by the pursuers.The best way now is to break out of the siege in one fell swoop by relying on the prestige of the number of people!

With Shi Le's order, the soldiers equipped with wooden shields immediately increased their horse speed, and rushed to the front to resist the rain of arrows.After all, there were more than 800 riders, and they rushed to the gate of the city in just a moment, and met the defenders hand-to-hand.This group of people is very good at archery and amazingly good at swordsmanship. They even set up a simple antler tripwire at the door to stop them.

How could Shi Le just admit defeat like this and personally lead his henchmen to kill them.This is simply the most difficult battle he has endured since he started his army.Only 50 people abruptly blocked their way of escape.What if the main force of the enemy army comes?Shi Le's hair exploded in an instant, and the knife danced like a flywheel, blood scattered everywhere, and his eyes were red.

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

Oops.Shi Le turned his head and saw Ji Sang fell from his horse.This shouting also attracted the attention of the defenders, and the defenders surrounding the vanguard retreated, wanting to kill the bandit chieftain in one fell swoop.

That's Ji Sang!It was the benefactor who promoted him, turned him from a horse thief into a general who led the army, and gave him a name and a life!However, the hesitation was only for a moment, Shi Le slammed the horse's belly hard, and rushed out of the encirclement like an arrow flying from the string!

"General!" The confidants around him also rushed out, their faces pale, "The general is still in the formation!"

"Lead the troops back and rescue them!" Shi Le said sharply.

However, they did not find the camp outside the city.As if it had been plowed once more, the camp had been washed away by the cavalry, and those weak-willed refugees fled in all directions, and even the rebels under their command were routed badly.

They lost.Big defeat!

Shi Le instantly recognized the situation.This is not an enemy that the rogues can deal with, let alone kill them when they are plundering and enjoying themselves.

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

A confidant struggled and said: "But the general is still in the city..."

Shi Le's deep tiger eyes showed a cold murderous 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 blind guys, he looked at the incomparably tall tower of Ye City with hatred, waved his horsewhip, followed behind the rout soldiers, and fled out.
