Chapter Twelve Dark Clouds Overcome the City
Everything happened under the city tower too suddenly. Even Yang Wei didn't expect these people to attack suddenly. Although he didn't see the scene of Li Xian being killed, Li Xian came down to the city rashly, and the situation might be bad at this time.
"Call the call, gather troops!" Before she could think too much, Yang Wei hurriedly brought people down the city. Li Xian could not have any accident, not only because of his duties, but more importantly, once Li Xian had an accident, it was inevitable that a battle between Li Jue and Ye Zhao would be inevitable. Now, Guanzhong, which is already chaotic, would be completely chaotic if Ye Zhao kicked it again.
Yang Wei's reaction was unpleasant, but even so, when he arrived at the city, Li Xian was already lying on the street, and the war horse that lost his master was surrounded by the headless corpse, at a loss.
"Bold!" Yang Wei was furious when he saw this. He picked up the Santing machete in his hand and turned over the horse and rushed straight to Wei Yan. Before the person arrived, the blade had already brought a fierce murderous aura to attack Wei Yan.
Seeing that someone was coming again, Wei Yan quickly ordered someone to fire an arrow to notify Guan Yu. He roared and cut a strange arc in his hand to slash Yang Wei.
"Clang~"
The two of them slashed each other with big swords, and sparks burst out. Wei Yan's body shook and almost shook from the horse's back. Yang Wei's arms were also numb, and he looked at the young general in surprise. At such a young age, his arm strength was not weak!
Immediately cheered up and fought with Wei Yan.
Wei Yan's sword skills are quite exquisite in his own history. They are not weak in the army, but they are still a little younger, their martial arts are not yet perfect, and they lack experience in fighting on the battlefield.
Although Yang Wei is not from a high background, his status today is achieved by killing one sword at a time. He is experienced and may not be the most exquisite one, but it is definitely the most suitable one. For a moment, the two will meet good talents and fight against each other.
However, Wei Yan was too young after all, not as experienced as Yang Wei. After fifty in one, he gradually fell into a disadvantage. Moreover, as the two fought, more and more Western Liang troops rushed towards him.
Wei Yan couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw this. His moves became even more messy. Yang Wei sold a flaw, which caused the middle gate to open. Seeing Yang Wei's sword falling down, he couldn't help but be shocked. He quickly pulled the reins and sat down on the war horse and stood up. Yang Wei's sword that had originally slashed at him fell on the horse and killed the war horse with one knife. Wei Yan took the opportunity to roll down from the horse's back, but lost the war horse and it was even more difficult to confront Yang Wei.
Seeing Wei Yan being forced into a mess by Yang Wei, behind him, a rapid sound of hooves sounded. Yang Wei and Wei Yan didn't even know what happened in the field. They were all riding and they had already entered with force. With the sword light, Wei Yan and Yang Wei trembled at the same time, and the big sword in their hands was almost shocked.
"Xilulu~"
Amid the harsh neighing of a horse, the war horse suddenly stood up, and at the same time, a green dragon crescent sword was raised high and fell towards Yang Wei.
Yang Wei was shocked and hurriedly raised his sword to greet him.
"Bang~"
Another loud noise, Yang Wei's scalp numb, and he felt a buzzing sound in his mind, and his hands holding the knife could hardly lift up. At this time, Guan Yu's third knife began to fall. Yang Wei watched the blade of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword constantly becoming clear in his sight, and let out a roar unwillingly.
"Puff~"
The helmet split, and Yang Wei was almost cut into two pieces by Guan Yu. Until he died, he looked ahead unwillingly.
Wei Yan stared at Guan Yu and paused his sword to the ground. A spider-web-like crack appeared on the bluestone ground. It was difficult for a long time to calm down. From Guan Yu's appearance to killing the enemy general, the three swords, but only one breath, almost killed the enemy general whom he almost killed was in Guan Yu's hands, but he could not even survive the three-combination, and was killed directly, flowing through the flowing clouds and water, as if eating was as simple as eating.
The soldiers around Xiliang were shocked to see that the two masters were killed. The soldiers brought by Guan Yu did not enter the city until this time, and rushed towards the Xiliang army like a torrent.
His courage was lost and his morale was drained. In addition, the two main generals were killed by the formation. The remaining Xiliang army did not dare to fight again. They flee in a swarm or surrender. After killing Yang Wei, Guan Yu did not take any action. He commanded the soldiers to quickly occupy the high ground and conquered the prisoners. As for the fleeing enemy troops, they did not pursue them. Their purpose of this trip was to capture Longxi.
"General's divine power!" Wei Yan took a deep breath and bowed to Guan Yu with admiration.
This courtesy was extremely sincere, not only because of Guan Yu's ability, but also because Guan Yu saved his life. If Guan Yu had not swept away the two of them before, even if Guan Yu killed Yang Wei, even if Yang Wei's sword could not kill Wei Yan, he would have seriously injured him.
"Cleaning out the enemy, surrender the bandits, and sending someone to notify the lord!" Guan Yu nodded indifferently, handed over the Qinglong Yanyue Sword to Zhou Cang beside him, and looked around and said.
"Here!" Wei Yan had already recovered at this moment. Hearing this, he bowed to take the order, ordered his men and horses and rode Li Xian's war horses into the city. There were three thousand garrison troops in Longxi, and it was impossible for them to come. There were still many troops gathering here. Although the city was broken, the enemy troops in the city still needed to be cleaned up as soon as possible.
However, with Li Xian and Yang Wei's death in battle, the Xiliang army, who had been rebuked by Li Xian, had no intention of fighting at all. After spending half a day, Longxi's resistance had been extinguished. Although occasionally there could be sporadic sounds of fighting from the city, the overall situation was settled, and some resistance was unable to reverse the situation.
It was the second day when the news of the capture of Longxi reached Ye Zhao.
...
"Lord, Yun Chang has already captured Longxi. Our army needs to attack Tianshui as soon as possible and echo Yun Changyao before we can take down this Longyou land in one go!" Xu Rong was overjoyed after hearing the news and bowed to Ye Zhao.
"This Wei Yan is a talent!" Ye Zhao nodded. Ye Zhao knew Guan Yu's ability, but Wei Yan, who was just seventeen or eighteen years old, performed absolutely remarkable in this battle.
"It's just that this person is quite unruly!" Ji Ling shook his head and said.
"It's okay for those who are capable to be more unruly. If you abandon it because of it, that's a pity. Now in this world, what's the most precious? City? Population? None of them. Cities can be captured, population can be recruited, and you can live by yourself. In this chaotic world, the most precious thing is like these talents. Who is not arrogant? I can accept it if you can do things and be more unruly, but if you abandon the talents just because of their unruly." Ye Zhao said with a smile.
"It's just that this person is unruly. Except for his lord, it's probably difficult for others to control." Xu Rong shook his head, feeling a little displeased with Wei Yan's performance of stealing the limelight that day. It's not that there is no one in this tent. How to fight, don't they know that they want you, a little brat, to show off?
Confucianism emphasizes modesty and moderation, and Wei Yan's performance is obviously contrary to the inherent ideas in everyone's mind. No wonder these people reject Wei Yan.
"So send him to Chang Yun and find a more proud person to suppress him." Ye Zhao said with a smile.
Wei Yan was very proud, but Guan Yu was obviously more arrogant than Wei Yan. The most important thing was that Guan Yu fought south and north, with reputation and merit as the basis, so he was arrogant for granted. Wei Yan was a little lacking in confidence, so he was unyielding. He assigned Wei Yan to Guan Yu's command, and also hoped to use Guan Yu's arrogance to suppress Wei Yan.
"Then the command Ding Li and Fang Yue, you can attack Tianshui. All the generals will follow me to watch the battle? See how powerful our army's new weapons are on the battlefield!" Ye Zhao stood up and smiled.
"Here!" After hearing this, the generals stood up one after another. The various improved weapons of the Shengong Camp had already shown their power when they fought against the Southern Barbarians. However, after three years, the Shengong Camp also made a lot of things one after another, and just took this opportunity to take a look.
Ding Li and Fang Yue led an army of 10,000, were already stationed near Wudu. When Ye Zhaoling arrived, they immediately launched an attack on Tianshui. This time, the two of them put all their strength into preparing for a big battle. So when Ye Zhaoling arrived, the two stood up overnight and rushed to Tianshui.
...
Like Li Xian, Hu Feng was also Li Jue's nephew, but his relationship was farther away than Li Xian. Li Jue was suspicious and could not trust his generals. Therefore, the two main cities in Longyou area in the rear were all controlled by his own nephew.
Hu Feng is different from Li Xian, and he is still capable. Since he took office, Tianshui has not been prosperous, but he has not been as chaotic as Longxi.
In the early morning, the sky was just dawn, and the thin morning light was gradually dispelled by the rising sun. Hu Feng had just woken up from his sleep when he saw a personal guard rushing in and bowing, "General, something is not good!"
"Nonsense, I'm very good!" Hu Feng rubbed his head and cursed. He felt bad when he heard these unlucky remarks early in the morning.
"No...not the general, outside the city!"
"What's wrong outside the city? Don't panic. The sky is falling, and I'm still watching!" Hu Feng, too, started washing the towel handed over by his concubine.
"In the north of the city, a large number of Shu troops appeared, moving towards our city!" The guard took a deep breath and bowed.
"How could the Shu army be here?" Hu Feng sneered and shook his head, then kicked the copper basin up the next moment, threw his hand into the maid's face, and quickly put on his armor: "Don't you say it earlier, hurry up, summon the soldiers to the city!"
"Here!" The guard agreed and ran out quickly. With the help of several generals, Hu Feng put on his clothes and armor, took the weapons and hurried towards the north gate.
Ding Li and Fang Yue did not march quickly to avoid being discovered. They carried all kinds of new siege equipment and came slowly and firmly towards Tianshui. This time, they were not to steal the city, but to defeat the enemy in a dignified manner. So until Hu Feng arrived at the city tower, the Shu army was still a long way from Tianshui.
