Small Landlords of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 154 189. Wei Yan kills the general!

In Langye County, Qingzhou, Wei Yan landed three days earlier than Huang Zu. This time Wei Yan led [-] cavalry and [-] marines, and the food, grass and ordnance could only last for half a month.

If you can't take Langye County as soon as possible, let alone killing the enemy and doing meritorious service, the [-] army will even have problems eating.

In a face-to-face fight, Wei Yan didn't think that he could take down Langye County with [-] soldiers and horses. This time, Wei Yan only had five levels of confidence in the night attack on Langye County.

After nightfall, Wei Yan led [-] cavalry and headed straight for Langye County. Five thousand marines were responsible for escorting the grain and grass.

Sneak attack depends on speed. Now the horses of Wang Hao's cavalry are all horses bred in his own space. The horses raised in pastures are better than those outside, whether it is endurance, sprint ability, or gravity.

The heavy cavalry took off their armor and walked, and they approached Langya County for thirty miles in the early morning. After traveling on foot for most of the night, Wei Yan asked the soldiers to rest in the small woods outside the city.

The dew was heavy at night, and the soldiers could only rely on dry food to fill their stomachs. They were exhausted all night without sleep. After the soldiers stopped, they lay staggered on the ground, and many of them could doze off by leaning on the stones.

Lieutenant general: "General, the soldiers are too sleepy to go to battle, but it is only two hours before dawn, maybe I missed tonight..."

Wei Yan: "Think of a way to let the soldiers sleep for a while, and we must attack before dawn. Although we landed early, we stopped on the beach for too long.

With the speed of the battleship, General Huang Zu probably has already landed in Beihai County, we don't want the first contribution, we just want to take down Langye County, cut off Xuzhou and Qingzhou..."

Partial general: "The general has far-sightedness. My lord hates Sun Quan deeply. If Langye County is captured, Sun Quan will not be able to evacuate to Qingzhou. Once General Gao Shun goes north..."

This is Wei Yan's thinking. He has been under Wang Hao's command for a while, and many veterans have more than twice as many military exploits than him. Just relying on a first merit alone will not get Wang Hao's attention to him, and Sun Quan is the key.

Xiahou Lian is Xiahou Dun's family brother, who is stationed in Langye County, and Xiahou Dun's two sons, Xiahouchong and Xiahoumao, are responsible for defending Qingzhou from Sun Quan's north, and honestly act as guard dogs for Cao Wei.

Xia Houlian never dreamed that Wei Yan would land in Langya through the coastline and launch a night attack on Langya County.

Wei Yan also spent a lot of money this time, asking the Marine Corps to collect local materials and deliver prepared food. Wang Hao had ordered that no drinking be allowed during the march, but Wei Yan allowed [-] cavalry to feast on wine and meat.

The sleepy soldiers were stimulated by alcohol, and they all collapsed in less than half an hour. If Xia Houlian found out at this time that there were [-] cavalrymen thirty miles outside the city, lying drunk in the wilderness, the cavalrymen in Wei Yan's hands might be killed. completely annihilated.

Wei Yan: "Is this really okay?"

Lieutenant general: "If it's okay, you can try it, the general. The subordinates think it's perfect."

I don’t know how Vice-General Wei Yan came up with this method of making chili water from ginger. Before dawn, the [-] soldiers drank the chili water, and it was still stipulated that no one should have half a bowl of chili water. No matter how sleepy, no one could fall asleep.

Ginger soup can drive away the cold. The question is, what to do with so many peppers? I sweat all over early in the morning and feel uncomfortable from the heat. Who can sleep.

"Brother, I heard that Uncle Cao Hong evacuated from Qingzhou, and he is the son of Cao Zhi who came here this time. What do you think of the son of Cao Zhi?"

The Xiahouchong brothers led the guards out of the city on horseback. As the descendants of the Xiahou family, riding and archery is no problem. Although his martial arts skills are average, Xiahouchong likes hunting very much.

There is a small forest outside the city of Langye County. During the past few years stationed in Langye County, the three uncles and nephews of Xiahou Lian almost hunted down the prey in this forest.

Xia Houmao: "Why is the forest so quiet today?"

Xia Houchong: "It can't be that the prey knew that we were going out of the city to hunt, so they hid in the depths in advance."

Xia Houmao: "No, the atmosphere is a bit weird, it's safer to let the guards go in to investigate."

Xia Houchong didn't take it seriously, and rushed to the depths of the jungle, but he didn't know that the god of death was waiting for him.

Wei Yan's army has already set out, the lieutenant-general is in charge of the central army, Wei Yan is the first to charge in front of the formation, when he hears that Tan Ma has returned to the south gate of Langye County, he flew out a dozen or so horses early in the morning, heading for the depths of the jungle in the distance.

"God helped me. I ordered the army to turn around and go around the east gate to the south gate. Let the deputy general lead the Chinese army to the east gate."

After Wei Yan finished speaking, he galloped towards the south gate like a gust of wind.

Xia Houmao: "Not good, someone is coming towards the south gate..."

The grove is not far from Langye County. Wei Yanqu's troops are mighty and thousands of cavalry are galloping towards them. The sound of horse hooves can be heard several miles away.

Xia Houchong: "Go back to the city quickly, don't let the enemy rush into the city!"

The two brothers saw the dust flying from a distance, and there were only a hundred or so people with them. The dust in the distance in the sky was preliminarily estimated to have thousands of cavalry. Xia Houchong and Xia Houmao were also stupid. Where did these cavalry come from? ?

Fortunately, the Xiahouchong brothers discovered it early, and the enemy army was still some distance away from them. The Xiahouchong brothers rode their horses and returned to the south gate.

As long as they return to the city, their world is theirs. The enemy army only has a few thousand soldiers and horses. Although there are few soldiers and horses in the city, they can resist the city and defend it. have to retreat.

Seeing Brother Xiahou returning to the city, Wei Yan was anxious like ants on a hot pot, but he couldn't do anything, there was still a distance from the south gate, and the other party was about to enter the city.

"Look, general, they've stopped!"

Wei Yan originally thought that the surprise attack had failed, because he was discovered by the opponent in advance, and it was impossible to make a surprise attack, so he could only attack with siege equipment, otherwise he would die when the enemy reinforcements arrived.

Who knew that Brother Xia Houchong actually stopped at the city gate, and hundreds of guards ran out of the city, apparently wanting to fight Wei Yan.

Xia Houmao: "Third brother, isn't this too risky, in case uncle punishes you..."

Xia Houchong: "Brother, don't worry, with you on the sidelines and hundreds of crossbowmen, even if I don't underestimate the opponent, I will be able to retreat calmly!"

When Xia Houchong returned to the gate of the city, he didn't immediately enter the city to organize defense, but wanted to fight the enemy.

Xia Houmao: "Come and use your name!"

Wei Yan: "Under Da Sima's command, so is Wei Yan!"

Xia Houchong: "An unknown person dares to attack our Langye County. This general will come to meet you for a while!"

When Xia Houchong heard that it was a general under Wang Hao's command, he thought it would be Zhao Yun or a strong general like Huang Zhong, but he had no impression of Wei Yan at all, and he didn't take Wei Yan seriously at all.

Wei Yan rushed out of the vanguard army with his horse, Xia Houchong slapped the horse's butt with a long knife, and met Wei Yan who was coming on the fast horse.

A bay red horse was still galloping, and before the horse's headless body landed, Wei Yan was already approaching the gate of the city.

"Third brother..."

Xia Houchong was also dazzled by anger, seeing Xia Houchong beheaded by Wei Yan, the first time he didn't put down the city gate, but chose to rush out to fight Wei Yan.

Wei Yan saw Xia Houmao rushing out and hit Wei Yan's arms. Wei Yan was afraid that Xiahoumao would be frightened, so he ran back to the city and did not fight.

Now that Xia Houmao rushed out, Wei Yan was sure to kill Xiahoumao, and even approached the city gate, occupying the side door for the army to rush in.

"Heaven has a way, you don't go, hell has no way, you create your own, die..."

Wei Yan waved his broadsword, a stream of blood shot into the sky, Xia Houchong brothers were in Wei Yan's hands, they couldn't walk a round at all, even the south gate was taken by Wei Yan.
