Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 472 Captain Wei Yan
Late the next night.

Shu county city head.

Wei Yan, who finally got the official status, seemed to be in good spirits. He patrolled the city with his head held high and his chest up for a day.

Tidying up his pockets again, he touched the armor that Zhou Hui had given him lovingly. Wei Yan was just about to step down from the top of the wall, but suddenly he let out a cry of surprise, and immediately pointed to the outside of the wall and shouted, "What do you think is that?"

The line of sight of the guards behind him immediately followed his fingertips, which was in the direction of the west of the city.

The huge waves that rolled up yesterday have calmed down today, and the huge waves happened more in the north of the city, and the camp to the west of Sun Cejun had been quiet during the day, but at this moment, it seemed that a small stone was suddenly thrown into it, which shocked everyone. There were layers of ripples.

The ripples expanded immediately, like another wave, and within a short while, the flames shot up into the sky, people shouted and neighed, and it became a mess.

"What's going on?" The soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay: "It seems like two trilogy are fighting?"

Wei Yan also saw this, and immediately his heart skipped a beat, a bad thought arose, and he exclaimed, "Oh, could it be?"

He grabbed his pocket and hurried up on the top of the city, pacing and staring at the direction to the west. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Quickly capture the county government and military camp, and report it to the county king and Wangzhou Mu!"

The soldier agreed, turned around and left, stopped in two steps, touched his head and asked, "Captain, what are you talking about?"

Wei Yan glared at the soldier: "Can't you see this? The military camp in the west of the city is suspected of fighting, and who is fighting with them? Now in the entire Shucheng, and even Lujiang, who can dare to fight? Sun thief fighting?"

"What does the captain mean?" The soldiers on the side exclaimed in surprise: "Captain Wang failed to break through, and wants to return to the city?"

"It's not impossible." Wei Yan said: "Anyway, let's inform the county lord and Wang Zhoumu first, and then make a fuss about it."

"Here!"

The turmoil in the west of the city soon expanded into a turmoil. With the help of the soaring flames in their camp, Wei Yan saw an army horse in the distance, holding a big banner, galloping here and there under the leadership of a general and school like a tiger descending the mountain. Through the heavy siege, go straight to the city to kill.

After a short period of panic, Sun Cejun also organized hundreds of cavalry to follow and chase.

The night was pitch black, and even though there were torches shining on the top of the city, they couldn't see three feet outside the city.The water of the moat was flowing quietly, and the army and horses fought and walked, rushing to the river.A chaotic sound spread into the city, and it was a group of people shouting: "Quickly put down the suspension bridge! Open the city gate."

For a city with a moat, the importance of the drawbridge is even greater than that of the city gate. When it is time for war, there are strict regulations that no matter what the situation is, it is forbidden to lower the drawbridge without the order of the general.

At this time, the soldiers guarding the city were at a loss, and those who had quick brains, like Wei Yan and his soldiers, thought that this army horse might be the cavalry brought by Wang Xiong to break through, and it might even be possible. There is also Huang Zhong's trilogy that retreated from Linhu, and the banner that was erected at the front of the Pujun horse seemed to prove that this deduction was correct.

The flag with the word "king" on it was bloodstained and torn, and it faintly told the puppet, that in this short day, this trilogy has gone through countless cruel fights.

Both the suspension bridge and the city gate have agencies, but they are open at the top of the city. It's just that the two dubs guarding the agency want to let the friendly troops enter the city, but they don't have the power to do so, and they are even more afraid of being involved, so they don't know what to do.He only heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw Wei Yan leading the men striding forward.

"Captain?" Du Bo was overjoyed to see the backbone coming, he stepped forward and said, "Do you want to let them in?"

Wei Yan waved his hand, stepped forward and pressed the crenel of the city wall, ordered the left and right to light up the torches, and immediately looked down.

He vaguely saw that there were about 500 soldiers and horses coming. As far as they could see, they seemed to be wearing the black armor of the Heavenly Army. The armor was covered with blood. Two people sit on one horse.Looking at their faces again, they are also covered with blood stains, and they can't see clearly, only pairs of eyes, full of exhaustion and anticipation when they see hope.

Could it really be the King and Bear Department?
Just as he was thinking to himself like this, when he heard the voices of people in the city again, it was a group of people shouting loudly: "We are the Heavenly Army under the command of General Tiangong, quickly open the city gate!"

While speaking, the shouts of killing also sounded from behind, as if the enemy cavalry who were chasing them were biting hard, and they were about to rush to the city.

Wei Yan was still uneasy, and raised his voice and shouted: "Wang Xiong is Captain, please come out and answer."

"The lieutenant was shot by the thief leader Sun when he broke through the siege this afternoon. He is now seriously injured. Hurry up and open the city gate and get medical treatment!"

Hearing Wei Yan mentioning Wang Xiong, the people in the city became more and more excited, and shouted in confusion: "If something happens to the captain, can you bear it?"

Wei Yan was startled when he heard the words, Wang Xiong was injured?
The soldiers behind him were also taken aback, and persuaded them: "Captain, it seems true, these people are all wearing the armor of the Xuzhou Army, and the banner of Captain Wang is also here. The thief shouting for killing might come after him for a while, why don't we put down the drawbridge first and open the city gate?"

"That's right, if Wang Zhoumu watched this group of Xuzhou people being massacred by the Sun Bandit, wouldn't Wang Zhoumu have a hard time explaining it?"

"I have sent someone to ask the county lord for instructions. If the county lord does not give orders, the suspension bridge must not be released!" Wei Yan went down the city and shouted: "The two armies are against each other. How can you open the city gate suddenly after hearing your word? Anyone I know? Please come forward and answer."

Hearing this, the soldiers and horses in the city fell silent for a moment, and soon after, they parted ways, and someone shouted: "General Huang is here!"

Then, one will gallop up from behind.Siwuqi lit a torch, illuminating his face, although he was far away, the light was not bright, and he couldn't see clearly, but he looked like he was not young, and he was vaguely a veteran.

The general had a horse with a long spear, a bow and a bag, and then shouted: "Is Tao County Captain, I'm Huang Zhong!"

Huang Zhong?

Wei Yan has heard of this name before. It is said that when Xuzhou attacked Beihai last year, this person was the first to ascend every battle, and he was very brave. Before that, he showed his prowess in Hefei and Linhu. He didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly replied:
"My next Wei Yan is Tao Xianwei's deputy."

"General Huang, didn't Wang Zhoumu ask Xiaowei Wang and you to go out of the city to rescue Long Shu? Why did Zhou Zhe fail?"

"Lieutenant Wei didn't know something. The thief was cunning and flooded the army. We were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. Only a few hundred remained after thousands of riders."

The general shouted loudly: "How can these soldiers break through the siege? We have to go back to the city. The captain will open the city gate quickly."

As he said that, the general looked back, and pointed his spear backwards: "The army of sun thieves is coming as soon as they see it. If you don't open the door, these hundreds of people will not be able to keep them! These are all the elite tigers under the general's command!"

Wei Yan watched intently, it was too far away to see Huang Zhong clearly, and even if he saw clearly, he had never seen Huang Zhong before, so he seemed a little hesitant for a while.

At this time, the general's voice became more and more urgent: "What is the captain still dawdling about? We people managed to get out of the siege of the sun thief, and now we are at the bottom of the city, but you refuse to open the door. Could it be that you want to watch us die?" Is it before the battle?"

Some people shouted from the side: "These Jiangdong guys are uneasy and kind, and they are trying to harm our Xuzhou son!"

Hearing this, Wei Yan's face turned ugly, but he still insisted: "General Huang also knows the military law, and he dare not open the city gates against the orders of the county monarch and the state shepherd!"

"You guy"

Hearing this, the general seemed to be very angry, and wanted to curse, but held back, and just gritted his teeth and said: "If that's the case, let's invite the general and the county monarch."

Pulling the horses, he ran to the place where the rear battle was fought, but before he could get close, a cold arrow shot, hit his chest, yelled, and fell off the horse.The defeated army gave a cry and rushed forward to snatch him back.Hundreds of people shouted at the same time: "General Huang has also been shot!"

The top of the city was also panicked, and several uncles looked at each other, one of them said in a low voice to Wei Yan: "Captain, this Huang Zhong is said to be Wang Zhoumu's favorite general. Open the city gate?"

Wei Yan was silent when he heard the words, and secretly clenched his fists.

Even if Huang Zhong and Wang Xiong really died in the city, Wei Yan was strictly abiding by the military law and was not at fault. Zhou Hui would not blame him, but what about Wang Zheng?
If he gets angry with him because of this, and even causes the two forces in the city to fight, then can Shu County still be able to hold on?
Even though Wang Zheng only has more than a thousand soldiers and horses left in the city, Wei Yan knows the goods. He can see that these people are all veterans of many battles and are very brave. It will also hurt your spirits, right?

Taking ten thousand steps back, Wang Zheng held back for the time being and forbearance, if he waited until his other soldiers gathered before launching an attack, asking Wei Yan to pay his life for his love, so what?

With mixed emotions and many worries, Wei Yan began to hesitate.

At this moment, the shouts of killing suddenly burst out!

Wei Yan looked up, but saw another group of soldiers and horses appeared not far from the city. It was Sun Ce's cavalry brigade. Many of the defeated soldiers who called the city in front rolled off their horses and knelt down to beg.Some bowed their heads and cried out of despair.Many people held up the bodies of the two generals and shouted wildly, Huang Zhong and Wang Xiong both closed their eyes tightly, with arrows stuck in their chests, they didn't move, they didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

The defeated soldiers shouted in unison: "We have sold this life to General Tiangong since we started the army. It is not a pity to be surrounded by the enemy today! But General Huang is a pillar of our Xuzhou, in the name of bravery. , everyone in the world knows, how could he just die under the city?"

"I beg the captain to open the city gate!"

Wei Yan said silently for a moment: "The pursuers are too close to you, if the city gate is opened, then the bandits will take the opportunity to seize the city, what should we do?"

Some of the defeated soldiers immediately raised their heads and shouted: "Captain, please don't worry about letting General Huang enter the city. We will fight and stop Sun Thief's pursuit from behind. Even if they all die in battle, they will never call Sun Thief Half a step past the moat! Is this feasible?"

Hearing these words, Wei Yan's expression was still calm, but the uncles behind him all expressed their emotions, they all said that Huang Zhong really deserved his reputation, he won the hearts of people so much, the soldiers would rather die than send him into the city , couldn't help but persuaded from the side: "How can such a hero be here, Captain, we have to save this person."

"Yes, yes, such characters must be Wang Zhoumu's confidantes, they must be saved."

Wei Yan still shook his head, and said: "The city gate must never be opened, but for the sake of your loyalty, I can make people put down the hanging basket and take General Huang to the city."

"If you don't open the city gate, can you put a drawbridge?"

Wei Yan refused again, and there was an uproar in the city: "If the suspension bridge is not released, how can we cross the river?"

"Swim over here."

"General Huang is seriously wounded. How can he see the water? Please also lower the suspension bridge, and pull up the hanging basket, hanging in the air. The army of sun thieves is coming soon, and there must be archers among them. The arrows are like locusts. If they hit the rope, they will fall What do we do when we get down?"

"Captain Wei, no matter what, please open the city gate."

The soldiers and the uncles beside him also persuaded: "Captain Wei, what they said is also reasonable. Although the army of sun thieves is approaching, there will still be no danger for a while after hundreds of people are blocking it. Yes, obey them!"

Some people couldn't help but said: "Don't forget Captain Wei, if Wangzhou Mu hadn't appointed you as a general to go out to fight in the city, how could you have made great achievements, and how could you have the glory you have today? If you let his love fall in front of you now, wouldn't it be Forget. Hey."

Although he hadn't finished speaking, everyone knew what he hadn't said. Wei Yan was furious, his eyes raised and his eyebrows raised. Just as he was about to explode, he saw footsteps behind him.

But a person rushed over in a hurry, Wei Yan recognized at a glance that it was Wang Zheng Tianzhu camp's sentry horse, and his expression brightened immediately.

The man rushed to Wei Yan's side, and without saluting, he leaned forward and whispered in a low voice. After a few words, Wei Yan's expression had regained his composure, and he immediately looked at the crowd, waved his hand and said, "Send the order, pull up the suspension bridge, and open the city gate! "

"Here!"

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, amidst a piercing sound of friction, the suspension bridge was slowly lowered.

Seeing this, the defeated soldiers outside the city were all overjoyed, and amidst cheers, they rushed towards the city quickly.

Moon and night.

Wei Yan looked down condescendingly.

He watched silently as the suspension bridge had just been lowered, and the defeated soldiers were already chasing after him, rushing towards the city gate in a swarm, and covered a considerable distance in an instant.

He quietly looked at the faces of the defeated soldiers under the flickering light of the fire. Apart from expressions of surprise and nervousness, there was also cautious suspicion.

He quietly watched Huang Zhong being lifted up by the defeated pawn in the front, and he couldn't wait for the city gate to be fully opened, so he turned sideways and squeezed in.The defeated pawns at the back spontaneously widened the distance between each other, forming a fan-shaped formation, and a hundred hands clenched their weapons at the same time.Some guns were thrown on the road, it doesn't matter, there are short knives and long swords at the waist.

Wei Yan suddenly chuckled, and immediately said: "Open the city gate wider."

At the same time, there was a clamor from below: "Let's open the city gate a little more!"

The rusty iron chain swayed constantly, and amidst a harsh friction sound, the gate was fully pulled up.

At this moment, Shu Cheng's door opened wide.

And most of those defeated soldiers have squeezed into the city.

The next moment, the sudden change!

However, those defeated soldiers suddenly threw Huang Zhong, who was holding high, directly on the ground. Immediately, dozens of people made a concerted effort, piercing the guards inside the city gate with their spears and swords, and slashing at the sky blocking the front. on the army.

Amidst the screams of killing, blood spattered and flying with broken arms.

The Dubo who had answered earlier in the defeated pawn went forward even more recklessly, and took the lead in shouting: "The city gate is broken, under the order of the major general, those who surrender will not be killed!"

Dozens of people clamored together: "The city gate is broken! Those who surrender will not be killed!"

In the distance, the sound of hooves was like thunder, but the chasing Sun Ce army suddenly accelerated, urging their horses to fight for the first, and they also rushed here to kill. Everyone also shouted loudly: "The city gate is broken! Those who surrender will not be killed." !"

All of a sudden, the shouts of the enemy soldiers inside and outside the city gate were all over the place, and the momentum was earth-shattering.

The guards on the top of the city were all horrified, and some even exclaimed: "No, it's a trick, quickly pull up the suspension bridge and close the city gate!"

"Slow!" At this time, Wei Yan said indifferently: "Since the door is open, don't rush to close it."

"Open the city gate wider."
