Chapter 196 Xia Houyuan: Impossible, absolutely impossible
hide!
Can't hide!
In just a moment, the coldness rising behind him covered his whole body in an instant.
At this moment, Ji Ling felt as if his scalp was about to explode.
He tried to twist his body, even if he was hit by a shot, as long as it was not fatal, he would be able to distance himself, and then the left and right guards would come up.
The thoughts in my mind became extremely clear at this moment.
It's just that everything is just an idea.
Seeing that Ji Ling no longer wanted to fight, Zhao Yun's expression suddenly turned cold, and he shook the silver gentian spear in his hand forward.
The gun body was like a long snake cutting through the air, and it went straight towards Ji Ling's back and heart.
The tip of the spear made contact with the armor.
The thrust was quite powerful. As the gun was pulled forward, Ji Ling's armor was already torn.
Even if Ji Ling was defeated, he couldn't be defeated like this.
After seeing that it was Xia Houyuan, Chen Deng thought for a moment and then took the initiative to approach him.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Even if Xi Yu's men successfully carried out a night attack, killing an enemy at night is so simple.
This thing sounds so unbelievable!
Xia Houyuan couldn't believe it, while Chen Deng beside him looked down at the city under the moonlight.
Zhao Yun was a little helpless.
The army under the city turned out to be under Xi Yu's command.
The defenders of Xiapi City were somewhat nervous.
I'm afraid they will be able to capture even more soldiers, not even ten thousand.
This made Huang Zhong somewhat confused.
Everyone quickly began to look at the city approaching.
But now, the fire burning in the distance made it very clear to them.
Food and grass are related to the livelihood of an army, and there is no room for sloppiness.
Thinking about this kind of thing, you will know how difficult it is.
Chen Deng next to him naturally understood it very well. Chen Deng couldn't help but feel a little more solemn about Xi Yu.
Zhao Yun shook his head and looked towards the top of the city wall. The distance was a bit far, and because the moon was covered, it was difficult to see clearly what was happening on the city wall.
I don't know how much time passed, and when both of them were silent, suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance outside Xiapi City.
At this moment, an army suddenly appeared outside the city, and Xia Houyuan instinctively thought it was an enemy army coming to attack.
On the city wall, Chen Deng and Xia Houyuan were staring at the firelight on the hillside in the distance.
All that was left was the flames still burning behind the camp.
After about an hour, the fire in the distance gradually extinguished.
He leaned outside the battlements.
Chen Deng spoke first.
The fire in the distance is still burning.
This guy, didn't he agree to go through the east gate? Why did he walk to the south gate so smoothly?
It seems that he is scolding the other party for not living up to expectations.
There seems to be a large army outside the city, and it is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
At the same time, not far outside the city.
This night attack not only killed Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling, but also captured eight thousand soldiers and horses in the opponent's camp along with the Suwei camp.
Afterwards, after seeing the fire extinguished, he waited for Zhao Yun and others to return.
After falling on top of the south city, Huang Zhong raised his eyes and saw Chen Deng standing behind the battlements and looking down the city.
At this moment, Huang Zhong, who had just arrived from the side, had already clearly seen Zhao Yun's attire below the city.
Now that they have recaptured Ji Ling's army, the burning food and grass will naturally become their spoils of war.
Xia Houyuan's mood was a little complicated.
The opportunity was fleeting, and Zhao Yun couldn't care less.
How could someone come to attack the city at this time!
He had already been there once before during the night raid, and now it was an all-too-familiar thing.
Anyway, since Zhao Yun was not waiting for his return, Huang Zhong asked his men to continue watching at the east gate.
"I don't know either!"
With just one glance, Xia Houyuan had already realized what was going on.
I don't know if it was because of the fire in the distance just now, but the crescent moon that was originally hanging in the sky was now hidden behind the clouds.
"This time our army has a great victory in the night attack. Now we have our leader Ji Ling and captured eight thousand soldiers. They are at the gate of the city. Please give the guard general the order to open the door as soon as possible!"
However, although the army under the city stopped, they showed no intention of retreating.
The sudden sound brought Xia Houyuan and Chen Deng back to their senses instantly.
After a while, the camp began to become quiet.
However, when he thought that Xi Yu had done this, it was difficult for him to feel happy.
The two of them naturally believed in Xi Yu very much. After seeing the color of fire flashing on the sky, the two of them didn't look much more, turned around and returned to the building.
Dian Wei finally got out of his way and chased after him, but when he saw Ji Ling hanging on the tip of Zhao Yun's spear, he felt a little unhappy.
He moved forward, and at this moment, the clouds covering the crescent moon moved away.
On the other hand, there is already some distance between Xi Fengyi and his fellow Cao clan members.
This kind of movement is the sound that can be reflected by at least thousands of people.
Above the pitch-black sky, firelight illuminated half of the sky.
Xia Houyuan's face turned dark.
Since it's Xiapi City, that's right. The moonlight just happened to appear at this time.
It's really a little too fast.
What did that man say just now? During their night attack, they actually killed Ji Ling and captured eight thousand soldiers.
"When evil comes, don't be in a daze, hurry up and get someone to put out the fire!"
On the one hand, compared with his previous night attack, in this way, he does not appear to be particularly useless in front of the opponent.
At this moment, the weapon in Ji Ling's hand had quietly fallen to the ground, and a trace of blood spread from the corner of his mouth.
At this time, as Ji Ling took the lead, some soldiers in the entire military camp who were still resisting at first gave up their resistance.
Dian Wei buzzed at the side, and Zhao Yun nodded.
Do you really think that Ji Ling is a fool?
If Ji Ling was really a fool, why did he lead his army to a complete defeat during the night attack the day before?
At this moment, he hid behind the battlements, as if he was afraid of some stray arrows flying up from below.
Almost subconsciously, Xia Houyuan asked the people on the city wall to extinguish the torches.
It was actually far away for the fire to appear, and it only took about an hour now.
The detective horse sent by Zhao Yun had already returned to Zhao Yun's side.
The two of them subconsciously looked into the distance, as the sky had not yet lit up.
These people didn't look like they were attacking the city.
"Congratulations General!"
Fortunately, the distance was not yet close and it was night again, so the sharp arrows piercing the sky did not cause any damage to the group of people led by Zhao Yun.
At the same time, the generals under Ji Ling's command in the entire camp seemed to have noticed this scene.
The rumored Xi Fengyi is indeed no ordinary person!
Being able to do things that are difficult for ordinary people to do so easily is naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people.
It's just that Dian Wei didn't expect that the opponent would be taken down by Zhao Yun so quickly.
"According to the order, the troops will be under martial law to prevent the enemy from attacking the city!"
After hurriedly putting on his armor, Xia Houyuan immediately rushed towards the direction of Xiapi City Wall.
Just by looking at his figure and hearing Zhao Yun's voice, Huang Zhong already concluded that the man in the city was Zhao Yun.
How could such a place be easily attacked or even set off a fire?
Then he gave the order.
Guo Jia looked at the sky and chuckled.
When Huang Zhong saw the fire rising outside Xiapi City before, he knew that Zhao Yun and others had succeeded in their night attack.
"Zilong, didn't I tell you to leave him to me?"
When they reached the Xiapi city wall, without any hesitation, Xia Houyuan led his subordinates up the city wall.
If he read correctly in that direction, it was probably where Ji Ling's army was stationed.
If there was such a movement, it would be only Zhao Yun and others who returned to the army.
He hurriedly led a group of soldiers straight to the southern city wall.
However, I never thought that Ji Ling would try to distance herself from him even though she was injured.
"Yun Dao also wants to keep him, but I think he seems to be trying to escape!"
However, at this moment, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed towards us from the direction of Dongcheng.
And when Zhao Yun and Dian Wei attacked Ji Ling's army at night, they were far away from Xiapi City.
After Huang Zhong heard Zhao Yun's voice, he immediately understood.
What's more, they captured 8,000 soldiers in one battle.
The sky became a little darker.
He obviously led a night attack last night, so why is there such a huge difference between the two?
"Let the people in the city know that I am the subordinate of Taiwei Xi, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong!"
"Let someone check and see who is lying on the ground below?"
This matter is somewhat difficult for Xia Houyuan to accept.
…
At this moment, Xia Houyuan was standing on the city wall, his mind a little confused.
At this moment, everywhere in the distance below Xiapi City are densely packed with human figures.
What Xia Houyuan thought, Chen Deng beside him didn't really care.
It made him wait for a while.
Xia Houyuan immediately noticed a warning sign. He did not expect that the men and horses sent by Xi Yu to attack at night would return at this time.
Even in the direction of Xiapi City, you can almost see it clearly.
"What's going on?"
Something is obviously wrong with this!
Zhao Yun frowned and didn't even think about what was going on.
However, who would have thought that at this moment, the torches on the city wall suddenly went out one by one.
After hearing Zhao Yun's call, Dian Wei reacted and quickly led his men forward to put out the fire.
He complained to Zhao Yun that Ji Ling was going to fight today. His skills were pretty good, and he could at least give him some pleasure.
The surroundings suddenly became a little brighter.
…
The leader is Huang Zhong.
Even before Zhao Yun and others got close, dozens of air-piercing sounds suddenly resounded in the air around them.
Until just now, Xia Houyuan suddenly ordered the soldiers in the city to gather under martial law to prepare for an attack on the city.
"General, we went to the wrong city gate. The one ahead is Xiapi South Gate!"
The movement caused by the horse's hooves was none other than Zhao Yun and his party who had just returned from attacking the camp.
In any case, the fire at Ji Lingjun's camp far away is a good thing for the whole of Xiapi.
"General, if my guess is correct, the place where the fire is burning must be where the food and fodder of Ji Ling's army is!"
Liang Cao, as a general in the army, naturally thought of attacking the enemy's grain and grass location during the previous night attack.
The horses' hooves vibrated, and some tremors were felt on the entire Xiapi city wall.
If it weren't for the darkness of the night, there would have been another roaring incident in Camp Ji Ling.
Before Huang Zhong could speak, Xia Houyuan and Chen Deng, who also heard the voice, widened their eyes at the same time.
Although it was difficult to see clearly under the cover of night, not far from the city, there was a continuous darkness, which made people somewhat nervous.
It is not difficult for him to stop the opponent without hurting him.
Xia Houyuan was a little anxious, but Chen Deng beside him didn't say much.
Huang Zhong then realized something was wrong.
At the same time, under the city wall.
Dian Wei shouted beside Zhao Yun.
Then, Ji Ling in front let out a cry of pain!
The tip of the spear penetrated Ji Ling's body. Zhao Yun did not hesitate at all. He suddenly exerted force with his right arm, and the huge force directly pulled Ji Ling's body into the air from the horse.
He naturally understood what the other party meant.
He and Dian Wei immediately hurriedly led the people back towards Xiapi City.
After hearing what Zhao Yun said, Dian Wei turned his head and spat at Ji Ling, who was already dead and could no longer die.
Tan Ma responded.
However, when Zhao Yun brought his people back, he should have taken the direction of the east gate as agreed, so why did he end up at the south gate?
As Chen Deng spoke, the corners of Xia Houyuan's mouth beside him couldn't help but twitch.
Xia Houyuan suddenly understood after hearing this.
He could only ask his soldiers to stop first, and then he found some detective horses to investigate.
After capturing Ji Ling's army, Zhao Yun arrived without further delay and saved some food and grass.
Under the city wall, a white-robed general was holding a silver gun and looking up at the city wall.
Could it be true?
I guess Huang Zhong is waiting for them on the city wall.
Logically speaking, Ji Ling's army was damaged, and as the defender of Xuzhou, he should be extremely happy.
He glanced at the fire in the distance and already had some guesses.
You know, for every general, the location of the army's food and grass is a top priority.
Xi Yu's night attack strategy has been somewhat successful.
In Chen Deng's view, it was a good thing that Ji Ling's army was injured, so Naxi Fengyi's ability was somewhat recognized by them.
Chen Deng spoke.
It's just that this thing is so easy.
"It seems that tonight's night attack has been successful!"
Chen Deng next to him had the same idea.
At the same time in Xiapi City, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jiazheng were looking up at the sky on a high building.
Chen Deng next to him naturally understood this skill.
Ji Ling's intention to retreat became more obvious.
The reason why he had not killed him before was because Dian Wei shouted just now, but he never thought that it was because of Dian Wei's shout.
They have just arrived, why are there suddenly arrows shooting down from the top of the city wall?
Xia Houyuan was naturally not happy that he was no longer a fellow traveler.
As the shouts became louder and louder, more and more generals laid down their weapons in the entire camp.
Only then did Zhao Yun realize that he had gone astray when he led his people back.
Xia Houyuan naturally saw this movement.
When Xia Houyuan climbed onto the city wall, Chen Deng, who was on top of the city wall, immediately noticed someone coming.
Following the explosion of fireworks, a flash of fire soon appeared on the sky.
Immediately after, someone started to open his mouth and shout.
If he had kept his hand, the opponent would most likely break free, and then the situation in the camp would be difficult to control.
Xi Zhi beside him nodded.
At this time, when he saw torches burning on the city wall from a distance, Zhao Yun instinctively thought that he and others had not gone wrong.
However, his subordinates informed him that Xi Fengyi was still in the city, and the opponent had not even left Xiapi City, so the night attack was already known to be successful.
However, the sudden appearance of sharp arrows still made Zhao Yun and others sound alarm.
Chen Deng glanced at Xia Houyuan subconsciously, but Xia Houyuan couldn't help but shake his head.
Just by listening to the sound, I knew that there were many war horses going out in the distance.
But whether it's Nancheng or Dongcheng, Xiapi City is in front of you.
The opponent did not choose to attack the city, so Xia Houyuan was naturally not in a hurry. If he could find out the opponent's identity, it would not be too late.
"The south gate, the east gate, aren't they both Xiapi?"
The defenders stationed at the forage must be the elite of the camp, and their strength may even be several times that of other places.
"General, the army below seems to have stopped!"
Zhao Yun shouted towards the city.
Zhao Yun rode forward and approached Xiapi City alone.
He still didn't know that he had led people to the wrong city gate, but when he saw that it was indeed Xiapi City in front of him, he was still a little confused.
When he shook his head, his eyes did not look towards the city at all.
At this time, Xia Houyuan and Chen Deng were both frowning on Xiapi City.
Xia Houyuan didn't want to believe it, and even couldn't believe it.
Neither of them thought that the army that attacked at night had returned, but that there might be enemy troops taking advantage of this time to attack Xiapi City.
However, on the way back, due to the darkness, when Zhao Yun and Dian Wei led the people back, they unknowingly walked to the south gate of Xiapi.
I just waited and waited, but I still didn't see any returning troops from the front of Dongcheng.
However, when I thought about the fire that was burning far away, and Xi Yu had mentioned the attack tonight, I thought that Xi Fengyi was the cause of this commotion.
"The general is dead, the general is dead!"
At the same time, on the city wall.
Someone made a sound towards Xia Houyuan.
According to the original plan, Huang Zhong would meet them at the east gate of Xiapi.
At this time, Xia Houyuan was woken up by his subordinates. When he was far away and the fire was soaring into the sky, he was a little unresponsive.
Chen Deng began to think about how to deal with the next relationship with Xi Yu.
Even though the firelight outside Xiapi City was a little far away, it could still be seen against the sky.
"This is Zilong below. Didn't you agree with me that you would have gone to the east gate when you returned to the army? Why are you running to the south gate now?"
Huang Zhong opened his mouth and his tone was a bit teasing.
After hearing Huang Zhong's voice, Zhao Yun, who was under the city, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He thought something had happened in the city just now, but now he felt a lot more relieved when he heard Huang Zhong's voice.
"Brother Han Sheng, when I just returned to the army, the moonlight was dim, and the clouds looked in the wrong direction for a while!"
