After killing Zhang Baiqi and defeating and surrendering the rebel soldiers, Lu Yan led the army towards the Yi clan.
Arriving far away from Yishi City, Lu Yan took out his telescope and started to observe the situation from a relatively far distance in order not to alert others.
Through the telescope, Lu Yan saw the tragic scene under the city wall at a glance. The corpses were piled up almost half as high as the city wall, and the entire city wall had been stained dark red with blood!
Looking from a distance, the rebels had begun to gradually suppress the defenders on the city wall. Lu Yan estimated that if he had arrived just a few days later, Yishi County would have been lost.
The tragic situation of the Yi clan's siege made Lu Yan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He never expected that a small Yi clan could fight so brutally.
After observing again, Lu Yan found that at least half of the rebels had climbed onto the city wall, and the people below the city were also unprepared for what was behind them.
This was a good opportunity for a surprise attack, so Lu Yan no longer hesitated and immediately ordered Huang Zhong to lead the Huns cavalry to raid the enemy's center, and then ordered Zhang Xiu to lead the Xiliang cavalry to sneak attack the rebel army from the rear.
, the wear and tear was too great, and the physical strength has not been recovered yet, so I can only rest in the rear.
The cavalry attacked from both sides of the army. Lu Yan immediately led all the remaining infantry and followed the cavalry to launch a surprise attack on the rebels.
At the gate of Yishi City, Fan Xian and Wei Gu were completely ready to fight. They had even come to the front line in person to direct the siege.
Seeing that the city was about to be destroyed, Fan Xianweigu even had a smile of victory on his face...
Unexpectedly, there was suddenly a loud sound of horse hooves and shouts of death coming from behind!
"Boom!!!"
"kill!!!"
"Kill the traitor!!"
Fan Xianwei turned around fiercely, staring at the dust rising in the distance!
At this time, a scout came galloping on horseback, "General! General, run! Zhang Bai is riding dead, and the whereabouts of senior officials are unknown! Lu Yan's army is coming to kill him!"
"What?!!!"
"Even Zhang Baiqi is dead? The whereabouts of senior officials are also unknown?!"
After Wei Gu heard the bad news, he suddenly felt dizzy and was about to get off his horse.
Fortunately, Fan Xian, who was standing next to him, had quick eyesight and quick hands. He stretched out his hand to pull Wei Gu and said: "Brother Wei, now is not the time to faint. We must run away quickly!"
"Ah!" Wei Gu suddenly woke up when he heard this. He nodded hurriedly and said: "Run! Run!"
Zhang Baiqi died in battle, and the whereabouts of senior officials are unknown... Under the premise that 30,000 Cao troops led by Lu Yan came to help, even if Wei Gufan took the Yi clan first, it would probably be meaningless.
There is no time to reorganize the city's defenses.
Fan Xianweigu and others knew that the situation was over, so they made a decisive decision, abandoned the soldiers who were attacking the city, and fled towards the southwest with only their personal guards.
On the other side, the rebel soldiers who were desperately attacking the city were originally just a mob, and it was only with the stimulation brought by money that they burst out with unprecedented potential and determination.
At this moment, they were suddenly attacked, and the momentum and morale of this group of soldiers suddenly plummeted... In addition, the commander ran away again, and they quickly fell into chaos. They were attacked by Zhang Xiu's cavalry and Lu Yan's cavalry.
The infantry was killed in one charge and the army was completely routed.
Several rebel leaders followed Fan Xianweigu and fled toward the southwest, but their horses were not as fast as the Huns' horses, and their riding skills were also much worse than those of the Huns...
Before the leaders of this group of rebels ran three to five miles away, they were quickly overtaken by the Huns cavalry led by Huang Zhong and Hu Chuquan!
...
When the sky just turned dark, Huang Zhong and Hu Chuquan, who were covered in blood, each carried three or five heads back to the camp set up outside the city.
Du Ji, who had been sticking to Yishi City, now brought someone with him to the camp, preparing to meet Lu Yan.
Lu Yan was inspecting the battle damage and seizures in the Chinese army's tent. Suddenly the curtain of the tent was opened, and Huang Zhong and Hu Chuquan walked in carrying heads.
As soon as the two of them came in, an extremely strong smell of blood penetrated Lu Yan's nose, causing him to frown unconsciously...
At this time, Du Ji and a handsome-looking young man dressed as a scribe also walked in together.
"Oh!"
As soon as he entered the tent, Du Ji saw Huang Zhong and Hu Chuquan carrying human heads.
In addition, these two people were disheveled, with dark red blood stains on their hair and bodies. They looked like evil ghosts crawling out of hell. Du Ji was immediately startled and he let out an "ah!"
When Lu Yan saw Du Ji coming, he immediately said to Huang Zhong and Hu Chuquan: "Take these dead heads and bury them, and you won't mind eating when you carry them in your hands..."
Hu Chuquan said with a silly smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. We used to make human heads into wine glasses for drinking!"
Du Ji's face turned green when he heard this, and he suddenly shouted in his heart: "He is indeed a barbarian! He is really worse than a beast!"
Lu Yan's face also darkened, and he narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Whose head are you using to make a wine glass to drink from?"
Huchuquan was agitated by Lu Yan's bone-chilling voice, and hurriedly explained: "The human heads made into wine glasses come from the Xianbei people. General Hussar, please don't misunderstand!"
"Are they really from Xianbei and not Han?" Lu Yan's lips curled up slightly, but his whole temperament looked even colder.
"We, the Southern Xiongnu, have always submitted to the Han court. How could we treat our brothers like this?"
"Haha, I hope you didn't..." After Lu Yan sneered, he finally turned his head to look at Du Ji and returned to his normal smile, saying: "Hedong County can persist until now, and Bohou deserves the most credit! I came here.
I have already written to Duke Cao, and I believe that the imperial court will give you the recognition and reward you deserve."
Taking advantage of Lu Yan's distraction, Huang Zhong and Hu Chuquan threw the dead head outside the tent.
Du Ji distanced himself from Huang Zhong and Hu Chuquan, then raised his hands to Lu Yan and said, "Thank you Lu Qiaoqi for your support!"
"You deserve this."
"But Xiaguan was able to hold on to the final front this time, thanks to the help of the people around him!" Du Ji said, pointing to the young man beside him.
Lu Yan had actually noticed the person next to Du Ji a long time ago, but Du Ji didn't introduce him, and it was not easy for Lu Yan to ask directly.
When the man saw Du Ji mentioning himself to Lu Yan, he immediately took a step forward, bowed and said, "Sinner Jia Kui, pay your respects to General Hussar!"
Jia Kui?!
When Lu Yan heard this person's name, he was a little surprised and asked: "But Jia Kui, Jia Liangdao, the magistrate of Jiang County?"
"It's Xiaguan!" Jia Kui didn't expect that Lu Yan knew about him. He was a little surprised, but he still said calmly: "I never thought that General Hussar also knew about Xiaguan..."
"Haha! I have also heard about Guo Yuan's deeds when he forced you to surrender... You are loyal and courageous, and you are both civil and military. You are very good!"
"Jia is ashamed to deserve Lu Qiaoqi's praise!"
