Chapter 66

Go down to Junbei Gate.

Li Ji wore an iron armor and climbed up the steps to the tower, looking up at the dark horizon ahead, as if he wanted to find something from the endless darkness.

Cheng Yaojin was wearing heavy armor and holding a Xuanhua axe, guarding Li Ji's side every step of the way. His vigilant eyes searched around at any time for fear of mistakes.

In Xiajun City, the melee on the long street was coming to an end. The [-] officers and troops sent by the county magistrate to suppress the water bandits had basically been killed, and most of the undead fled into the streets and alleys. The door has completely fallen into Li Ji's control.

With the sound of hurried footsteps, Gan Ning stepped up the tower and said to Li Ji, "Master, the enemy army has been repelled, and our army has completely controlled the city gate!"

"it is good!"

Li Ji nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Immediately demolish the houses on both sides of the long street, pile the planks and dry firewood on the street, and prepare more fire starters, ready to set fire."

Gan Ning reminded: "Military division, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to set fire on the street. If the fire gets out of control, it may spread to the whole city?"

"At the moment, I can't take care of this much anymore. Everything is focused on the great cause of the lord."

A trace of coldness flashed across Li Ji's eyes, and he said in a condensed voice, "Our goal in this trip is to seize the city of Linxiang County before the Jiangdong soldiers. We don't have any extra troops to garrison the city, we just have to be prepared."

Gan Ning sighed and stopped trying to persuade him.

Li Ji said to Gan Ning, "General Gan Ning, hurry up and get ready."

"As ordered."

Gan Ning agreed and took the order to leave.

Yuzhang County, within Jianchang City.

Wei Yan walked back and forth in the hall restlessly, Zhang Wu, who had just surrendered, led his troops to pursue Tai Shici, but he never returned, an ominous premonition struck.

"Report..."

The young general at the city gate led a messenger and hurried in. The messenger bowed and knelt down and said, "Report, general, the prefect ordered you to send troops to rescue Changsha immediately, there must be no mistake!"

"Rescue Changsha County?"

Wei Yanchi murmured before exclaiming loudly: "What happened to Changsha County?"

The messenger replied: "Two days ago, the Jiangdong Army under the leadership of Sun Ce's brother-in-law Xiang Ba had already breached Chaling County, and they are now heading for Linxiang."

"What? It's a trick!"

Wei Yan immediately shouted an order: "Come here! Hurry up and call the left and right school captains to discuss matters."

The soldiers at the gate hurriedly led away, and within a short while, another soldier shouted loudly: "Report to the general, a large group of soldiers and horses from Yuzhang County suddenly appeared outside the west gate, and they have already blocked the return to Changsha County. road."

Wei Yanjing was overwhelmed, he had calculated thousands of times, never thought that he would also fall into the trick of the thief.

Good idea!You actually took the bait from Jianchang City, Tai Shici, you are cruel.

Wei Yan hurriedly boarded the tower and waited and saw that outside the west gate of Jianchang, there was a sea of ​​people, including 4000 soldiers and horses, who were setting up camp as if nothing had happened.

The two captains on the left and right also rushed up to the city tower. When they heard about the changes in Changsha, they all looked shocked and said: "General, there are not enough soldiers and horses in Changsha County, so we can't fight the bandits outside the city. We have to break out quickly."

"Ok!"

Wei Yan nodded in response, and then said: "The bandits set up camp during the day, and will be exhausted at night. Tonight, they will look for opportunities to attack and defeat Tai Shici in one fell swoop, and then return to aid Changsha County."

"Both of you, hurry down and get ready. Tell the brothers below to just wear weapons and armor. Anyone who delays the pace of the army will be executed on the spot."

The two replied loudly: "No!"

At night, outside the west gate of Jianchang, there is Taishi Ci's camp.

In the dim night and the dim moonlight, two flaming suet torches were inserted obliquely on the shaft gate, casting a faint light of fire, illuminating the scene within ten steps of the shaft gate.

Two soldiers wearing iron armor and holding spears stood upright inside the shaft gate like javelins. Farther away, a group of patrol soldiers walked slowly by stepping on neat steps. The sound of heavy footsteps shattered the silent night.

In the depths of the camp, under the protection of heavy tents, Tai Shici's large tent of the Chinese army can be faintly seen. In the big tent, there are bright lights and shadows, and two groups of heavily armored soldiers are standing with spears.

Under the dark night, a large group of people was quietly approaching the barracks.

Holding a long knife in his hand, Wei Yan rode his horse and marched at the front of the team. Behind Wei Yan were a full 4000 Changsha soldiers.

Under the silent night sky, the clash of weapons and iron armor, as well as the muffled sound of horseshoes trampling on the ground could be heard faintly, but unfortunately, the defenders in the barracks didn't seem to hear these subtle movements at all.

The soldiers of the Taishi Ci Army who were immersed in sleep did not realize that the danger had come.

"on!"

Seeing that the enemy camp was approaching, Wei Yan suddenly let out a low cry, and at the same time drew the long knife in his hand forward.

Already, hundreds of elites rushed out from behind Wei Yan, quickly approached the shaft gate, quickly moved away the sharp antlers blocking the shaft gate, and smashed open the weak shaft gate with a heavy hammer, more The soldiers pulled down the fences on both sides of the gate with iron claws and lasso.

The way to charge has been completely cleared!
"kill!"

Wei Yanchang let out a howl, and then drew his long saber forward, and 4000 soldiers rushed through the open gate like a tide, and entered Taishici's camp.

Wei Yanzong rode forward to take Taishici's Chinese army camp, suddenly Taishici's Chinese army camp was close in front of him, Wei Yanchang slashed out with his knife, and there was a hissing sound, and the linen tent burst open.

However, to Wei Yan's surprise, the big tent was empty without a single ghost!
Wei Yan took a deep breath and looked around again, but saw that there was no one in the surrounding tents, and even the two teams of soldiers guarding outside the Chinese army's tent were nothing more than straw men in iron armor.

"General, we've been tricked!"

A small school hurriedly rode close to Wei Yan, and said in a loud voice, "This is an empty camp!"

"Ok?"

Wei Yan's expression turned pale, and he gasped, "Empty...Empty Camp!?"

"General, hurry up and break through."

The little principal said anxiously: "Taishi Cijun left an empty camp, there must be other tricks, we can't stay here for long."

"Ah."

Wei Yan nodded and said, "Send the order quickly, the whole army will break through and march westward!"

"Kill kill kill..."

Before Wei Yan finished speaking, deafening shouts of killing suddenly sounded outside the barracks.

Wei Yan raised his head in shock, and saw that the surroundings of the camp suddenly lit up with flames, and countless torches sprang up from the darkness.

The next moment, endless rockets shot up from all directions and shot down towards the camp everywhere...

Amidst the screams one after another, soldiers of the Wei Yan army continued to fall down wailing.

The continuous rockets ignited the fine cloth tents in the camp and the wood, hay and other sundries piled up in the camp. In less than a moment, the entire barracks began to burn.

In the raging fire, the soldiers of Wei Yanjun were running around like headless chickens, and some people were constantly being swallowed by the flames and thick smoke!

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

Wei Yan drew the long knife out of his hand and rode out of the camp first. Facing such a desperate situation, he no longer cared about his reputation. The most important thing now was to run for his own life!

He didn't want to die here in a daze, and he didn't want to be the meritorious service that Tai Shici would boast to others in the future.

"Go away, fuck off!"

Dozens of cavalry soldiers surrounded Wei Yan, and kept beheading the soldiers of Yuzhang County who were blocking Wei Yan's way.

The chaotic camp made it impossible for Wei Yan to organize an orderly retreat. Many soldiers died tragically while trampling on each other, and many soldiers blindly climbed over the fence trying to escape, but fell into it like dumplings. In the trench, he was nailed to death by sharp antlers.

Only a few soldiers followed Wei Yan and rushed out of the gate by chance, but their good luck didn't stop there.

"Tai Shici is here! Where is Wei Yan going?"

When Wei Yan was riding his horse to flee for his life, there was a thunderous roar in front of him. Wei Yan hurriedly reined in his horse and looked up, only to see that the mountains and plains ahead were full of flames. In the flames, a large group of ferocious elite soldiers had firmly blocked the way. , In front of the group of elite soldiers, a general stood on his horse.

But seeing this general wearing a fiery red armor and holding a pair of halberds, he was staring at Wei Yan scorchingly.

Wei Yan's eyes shrank instantly, he tightened the long knife in his hand, and said in a concentrated voice: "Tai Shici?"

"Roar……"

Tai Shici looked up to the sky and howled, raised the cold iron halberds in his hands high, and said sharply, "It's unlucky for you to run into someone, prepare to die, kill..."

"Everyone is going to be rampant!"

Wei Yan grimaced, rode his horse to meet each other, and immediately the two horses crossed, Wei Yan's long saber had already slashed heavily with Tai Shici's cold iron halberds, but there was a muffled pop.

Wei Yan felt a sudden lightness in his hand, and when he looked down in shock, half of the blade of the long knife in his hand had been cut off.

"Roar……"

Taishi Ci reined in his horse and turned his head, his one-eyed eyes became even more murderous.

Seeing that the weapon was damaged, Wei Yan couldn't help feeling a little guilty. He didn't dare to fight anymore, so he hurriedly rode his horse and fled to the left.

"Where is the man going, Han should be here!"

When Wei Yan was fleeing for his life, he suddenly heard horses neighing and people boiling in front of him, and a military general Angzang flashed out from the light of the fire, and behind him there were [-] elite soldiers lined up, barely blocking Wei Yan's way.

Wei Yan was even more frightened, and rode his horse back to the path on the right. After running for less than half a mile, he saw the flames rising again.

Another majestic general flashed out from the path on the left, and shouted loudly: "Don't let the thieves go, Zhou Tai is here!"

Wei Yan was so frightened that he looked back, and saw that Tai Shici was approaching in a murderous manner. Behind Tai Shici, Han Dang commanded five hundred elite soldiers to surround him in a half-moon shape, encircling Wei Yan and a dozen cavalry regiments. .

"General, let's go, I will protect the general to break through."

The personal soldiers stepped forward decisively, resisting Tai Shici and others with their flesh and blood.

Wei Yan's eyes flashed with blood, like a vicious lone wolf, taking advantage of the chaotic battle, he raised his long knife and broke out to the west.

It's just a pity that none of the 4000 soldiers and horses who followed Wei Yan to conquer Yuzhang County ran out. Wei Yan wanted to cry but had no tears, so he could only beat his horse and hurry to Linxiang County.
