Han Dang responded to the order and jumped on his horse and ran down the hill. He was accustomed to using a strong bow, but he was not with him at this time. He placed it with the attendants and soldiers at the foot of the hill. Without stopping, he ran past the soldiers and shouted: "Bow and arrow"
!”
The soldiers hurriedly took it out, and he bent down and took it away. Like a gust of wind, he rushed to the front of the formation.
All Sun Ce's soldiers recognized him and gave way to him one after another.
At this time, the Tianzhu battalion that followed Wei Yan's charge had completely dispersed, and was divided into two fronts on the left and right, which were closely following Sun Ce's army. They were avoiding the rain of arrows while constantly making side attacks, while Han Dang himself led a team of elites under his command.
Head straight in.
Sun Ce and others on the Western Mountain watched as he rode straight into the Heavenly Army's camp, carrying a quiver on each side. He opened his bow and shot left and right while the horse was running wildly, as if he didn't have to aim at all.
The call to fall off the horse actually immediately forcibly cut off the enemy's indomitable momentum, and he immediately felt refreshed.
Sun Ce's eyes also showed admiration, and he said with a smile: "What a Han Yigong, what a Liaoxi Tiger Soldier!"
In the blink of an eye, Han Dang's quiver was empty. He stopped his horse briefly, took another bunch of feather arrows from the saddle pocket, quickly inserted it into the quiver, turned around and was about to continue charging, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a burst of arrows behind him.
It was chilly, and alarm bells rang in my heart.
Someone is riding a war horse approaching at high speed...
Without thinking, without turning his head or turning around, he drew the bow with his backhand and shot out an arrow. With a loud "swish" sound, another dull "crack" sound followed, but it was the opponent who manipulated the arrow.
With one slash of the knife, the feather arrow was broken into two halves.
"Who is coming!"
Following a question, Han Dang reached out to the spear wrapped on the saddle.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a black war horse rushed in front of him!
Han Dang's whole body trembled, but he had no time to retreat. He could only watch as a blade of light split through the air, and the air flow aroused seemed to have cut his cheek.
This was the opponent's second sword strike. Han Dang had not yet drawn out his spear, and before he could even see his shadow clearly, the light of the sword had already reached him. At the critical moment of life and death, Han Dang had no choice but to turn his head and dodge, and at the same time, he unsheathed his sword and forced a parry.
The two knives cut each other in the air, and the waist knife seemed extremely fragile under the strength of the opponent's knife, and it collapsed into pieces in the blink of an eye.
The third knife followed closely, and the long knife that was slightly deflected by the waist knife only shook in the air, and then fell down again!
Han Dang rolled off his horse at the critical moment and narrowly avoided the attack, but his war horse could not escape. He heard a shrill neighing sound and blood spurted out from the middle of the saddle, which was broken into two pieces.
There was even a bloody mark on the back of the war horse, but after the opponent's knife cut off the saddle, it penetrated deeper into the horse's body!
At this time, several soldiers finally rushed over, and seven or eight spears were fired at the same time. Finally, they blocked another sword flash from the enemy. Taking advantage of this effort, Han Dang finally drew out his spear and also took advantage of the opportunity.
Huo Guang finally saw clearly the enemy general who had almost killed him...
This man has a face as heavy as a jujube and eyes as bright as stars. Who is he if he is not Wei Yan?
What a thief!
Han Dang shouted loudly and stabbed with a fierce spear. Wei Yan snorted coldly and handed out the long knife. The two of them pressed down the swords with all their strength. When the swords met, they made a loud "clang" sound, as if the two weapons were about to hit each other.
Like breaking.
The next moment, the two of them passed each other with their horses.
Wei Yandou turned to fight, looked down at his opponent, and suddenly asked: "Who are you? You can actually block me with three swords without dying."
Hearing this, Han Dang's eyes were so angry that he wanted to spit fire. This guy's tone was too arrogant. He couldn't help but shouted angrily: "If I hadn't just been empty-handed, how could I have allowed you to be so arrogant?"
"If you are brave, you can remove the soldiers behind you and fight me alone. Do you dare?"
After the fight just now, Wei Yan actually knew that he had taken advantage of something unexpected, but even so, there was no result. Han Dang also saw that he was wearing a battle armor, was bigger in stature, and had a majestic appearance. He knew that this must be Sun Cejun.
The brave general thought in his mind: "Wangzhou Mu ordered me to rush into the formation and kill the general, but he did not specify which general he wanted to kill. This man seems to be a general, and it would be appropriate to take his head. However, this guy has some abilities, but he is not very good.
Kill..."
Thinking of this, Wei Yandeng was hesitant. When Han Dang saw that he didn't say a word, he snorted coldly and said: "If you don't have the courage, I won't make it difficult for you. As long as you are willing to dismount and surrender, I will protect your glory and wealth. My general has been a famous family for generations.
He is a descendant of General Sun Jian, the Marquis of Wucheng. Isn't it better to be under his command than to be a thief?"
"How can someone from a famous family be considered a water thief?"
Hearing this, Wei Yan smiled casually and shook his head secretly.
The other party obviously thought that he was Wang Zheng's subordinate, but his real master now was the Zhou family of Lujiang. At that time, his status was far higher than that of the Sun family of Wu County, but he didn't bother to explain. He just asked: "How are you going to fight alone?"
?”
"what ever."
Wei Yan's eyes wandered for a moment, and after thinking for a while he said: "We have just fought in close combat. I see that your archery skills seem to be good, how about a competition with arrows?"
Hearing this, Han Dang felt slightly disappointed. He had just been at a disadvantage because he didn't have the weapon in hand. Naturally, he was very unconvinced. He wanted to use the spear in his hand to regain the situation, but he didn't expect Wei Yan to propose a contest.
Arrow, it’s just that I had already said something big, so I couldn’t change my words to avoid showing weakness, so I nodded.
Although the two of them were talking, they were both on guard. At this time, dozens of soldiers from the Tianzhu camp and Han Dang's soldiers rushed over from everywhere and gathered behind the two of them. Wei Yan waved his hands and said: "Brothers, please retreat.
Later, let’s see how I kill this beast.”
Then he said to Han Dang: "You also ask your soldiers to retreat back."
Han Dang nodded, thought for a while, and handed the spear in his hand to the soldiers beside him. When he turned around, he saw that Wei Yan had picked up the reins.
Suddenly, as if he heard something, Wei Yan suddenly stopped what he was doing and listened intently. At the same time, he pointed his finger in the direction of Shu Cheng and asked, "What's this noise?"
Han Dang was startled when he heard the words, and his eyes followed his fingertips. At this time, the singing in Shuxian City was coming to an end, and the sound of horns had completely stopped. Only the rumble of drums still rushed into the sky like muffled thunder.
He said: 'This is not your master beating drums to cheer...'
Before he finished speaking, there was suddenly a loud sound of horse hooves in his ears!
But while he was turning his head, Wei Yan swung his sword and charged forward with his horse again.
At this time, there was no obstacle between the two. There were two groups of Sun Ce soldiers separated by them. However, one person and one horse were like lightning. They drove away four or five Sun Ce soldiers one after another before they could even breathe. The next moment, the long sword struck out.
He came out of the corpse with a bloody glow and was cut in front of Han Dang.
"you..."
Unprepared, Han Dang was caught off guard. He didn't even have his sword this time, so he had to wave the horn bow in his hand to block. Then he felt his hand loosen, but the cold sword light cut him off without mercy.
Bow, the strength contained in this knife even continued to chop the loose bowstring after cutting off the bow body!
The two horses were so close that they passed by each other. Wei Yan turned his horse around like lightning, turned around without stopping, held the sword in both hands and pushed it out with all his strength, and slashed with the long sword again, like a thunderous punishment from heaven.
There was a bang, and the blade instantly struck Han Dang in the chest.
Han Dang felt a sharp pain. The opponent's long-awaited full-force sword not only cut through his fine helmet, but even the heart-protecting iron mirror under the soft armor shattered like a bell, and even more powerfully.
The powerful blow came, causing him to vomit blood, and his whole body flew up in response.
None of this is dead?
Realizing that his sword did not really cut into Han Dang's vitals, Wei Yan was about to ride his horse forward to pursue him, but saw a large number of enemy troops on the opposite side already rushing toward the position where Han Dang landed, knowing that the good opportunity had been lost.
, screamed in secret that it was a pity, no longer wanted to fight, reined in his horse, drew his sword, drew his bow, and shot several arrows, all of which hit him. One of the arrows even hit Han Dang who fell to the ground, and then laughed wildly,
The military flag was fluttering, and the heavenly army hastily retreated from the formation.
His series of movements were extremely swift. It was not until he exited the formation and galloped into the city that Sun Ce's soldiers came back to their senses and stared dumbfounded at the seriously wounded Han Dang, who was staggering up from the ground.
, vomiting blood from mouth to mouth, looking disgraced, staggering around.
Others on the city wall could not see this scene clearly, but Wang Zheng had a clear view. He threw down his drumsticks, looked very excited, and laughed loudly: "What a Wei Yan! He is both wise and brave, he is a true tiger general!"
The defenders at the top of the city stamped their feet and waved their weapons, shouting in unison: "Tiger General Wei Yan!"
At this time, dozens of graceful singers were loosely lined up on the high Shuxian city, some standing and playing the pipes, some sitting and playing the strings, some playing the pipa, or beating the sandalwood board, Zhou Hui, Tao Ze
, Wang Xiong and others were separated on both sides, waving their flags, and the three armies cheered. Their morale was boiling to the extreme, and it was even stronger than the scorching sunshine in June.
Xishan on the other side.
Sun Ce saw that Han Dang had suffered losses and Wei Yan retreated to the city. He understood that the defeat in the first battle had become a fact. His hatred for Wang Zheng and his murderous intention became stronger. However, the more he became more and more serious, he stretched his sword eyebrows, looked around, and smiled.
Yan just said calmly: "I was careless for a while, but the Yellow Turban bandits luckily won for a while, hey."
...
Wei Yan came back victorious, the look of arrogance on his face getting thicker.
At this time, Wang Zheng had ordered people to remove the singers and asked the guards to bring good wine. Wei Yan, who was waiting, rushed to the tower and invited everyone to meet and drink to celebrate.
When all the civil and military officials recalled what they had just seen, they were all excited. Even some timid scholars who were timid after hearing about the war seemed to have disappeared. Instead, they became heroic and ambitious, and they all went forward to toast Wei Yan and congratulate him.
.
Everyone was having a drink on the top of the city tower, and they drank in a row, as if they didn't pay attention to the tens of thousands of Sun Ce's troops below the city. The morale of the three defenders was getting higher and higher.
Zhou Hui, who originally thought that Wei Yan had made his own decisions, had long since disappeared and became more comfortable. After all, Wei Yan was his general, and today the two armies won their first victory in front of the formation, which could be regarded as fighting for him.
He had such a big face that he was so honored. From the moment Wei Yan stepped onto the city wall again, he held his hand affectionately and never let go, and he kept praising him without any words.
When Wei Yan was feeling a little impatient, he saw Wang Zheng walking over. His expression suddenly changed, and he lowered his voice and reminded: "Young Master, Wang Zhoumu is here."
When Zhou Hui turned around, Wang Zheng had already brought the wine and came forward. The first person to praise was Zhou Hui: "It is said that good birds choose trees to roost. The county king has a brave man like Neng Wen Chang to serve, so it can be seen that he is also wise and magnificent."
.”
These words made Zhou Hui deep in his heart. He had already forgotten that Wei Yan was originally recruited by his father, so he just laughed out loud and called Wang Zheng too much.
At this time, Wei Yan took the initiative and asked: "Zhou Mu once fought with Zhang Fei in front of the formation. I wonder who wins compared with this man?"
Wang Zheng smiled when he heard this, waved his hand and said: "There will be brave generals, and wise generals. When it comes to the bravery of an ordinary man, Zhang Fei is not weak in writing, but when it comes to both wisdom and bravery, they may not be the same."
Having said this, Wang Zheng paused and said with emotion: "Wen Chang and Zhang Yide are both fierce tigers in the world. If it weren't for their different positions, I would really want to be friends with this person. If Wen Chang meets this person someday, he should
We will cherish each other."
Wang Zheng's words avoid the truth and are nothing more than a bunch of empty talk that both of them are heroes. However, Wei Yan, a city like him, still heard the implication, which meant that in terms of martial arts alone, he still couldn't compare to Zhang Fei.
I couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
Just as he was about to say something else, Wang Zheng didn't give him a chance. He asked the guards to bring the wine, poured it full, and handed it to Tao Ze who was standing aside. He said with a smile: "We just fought against Youlao County Lieutenant and carried the drum. Let's work together."
Let’s work together to strengthen our military’s morale and boost our morale so that we can win the first battle today. Please drink up.”
Hearing this, Tao Zedeng was greatly moved. How could Wang Zheng, the youngest prince in the world, with more than a million soldiers and civilians under his command, be so highly regarded by him? In his excitement, he even forgot to say any humble words.
Okay, drink it up immediately.
Wang Zheng patted Tao Ze on the shoulder as a sign of intimacy, then looked sideways at Wei Yan and smiled happily: "Chang Wen, I heard that you are from the Central Plains?"
Wei Yan nodded and said, "I am the pastor of Zhouzhou, and I am from Nanyang County."
"Nanyang? What a wonderful place! There are outstanding people." Wang Zheng turned to Wang Xiong beside him and asked: "Wang Xiong, did you know that Nanyang County has a nickname?"
Wang Xiong had never read any books, so he didn't know. Zhou Hui's eyes flickered on the side, but he smiled and said: "Did Zhou Mu say "Imperial Township" or "Southern Capital"?"
"The Lord of Zhou County has learned a lot and remembers that I am talking about the Imperial Township."
Wang Zheng nodded and said with emotion: "Since Guangwu returned to the Han Dynasty, Nanyang County has been respected as the imperial hometown and the largest county in the world. There have been many famous ministers and generals. I have heard that I helped Guangwu establish himself.
Among the twenty-eight generals of Ding's Yuntai, eleven are from your hometown."
As he spoke, he raised his thumbs and praised: "My ancestors came from this place, a place of hundreds of battles, the hometown of generals. No wonder Wen Chang is so brave!"
Who doesn’t like to hear other people praise their hometown? Especially when it comes from the mouth of a noble person like Wang Zheng.
Even though he felt that he shouldn't be too close to Wang Zheng in front of Zhou Hui, Wei Yan couldn't help but look sultry and coughed dryly and said: "The reputation of Zhou Hui is so great that Yan cannot live up to it."
"You can afford it."
Wang Zheng turned his head and looked at Zhou Hui, sighed and said: "A general like Wen Chang has turned his heart to Lord Zhou. Haha, to be honest, I am extremely envious of you."
