After resting for two days in Beizhen, Zhao Yun led the army to march towards Yicheng again. As long as Yicheng was captured, it would mean cutting off the connection between Changli County and Fan Yang, and completely capturing Changli County! Although the victory was from a distance
There is still a certain distance to the entire Youzhou, but at least it's a good start, right? When thinking of this, a calm person like Zhao Yun couldn't help but get a little excited, and couldn't help but speed up the march, and unexpectedly in one day
He rushed to the outside of Yicheng City.
With the experience of the first two times, Zhao Yun also ordered the sword-fighting cavalry to surround the other three gates of Yicheng this time. After Song Xian left with his troops and horses, Zhao Yun waved his hand, but it was to attack the people who were already prepared.
The Goguryeo army issued an order. In today's battle, Zhao Yun does not expect that the defenders will open the city and surrender like in the previous two battles. The Western Qin cavalry is not suitable for attacking the city, so today's protagonists are these prisoners!
After the previous two battles, those Goguryeo seemed to have become accustomed to this kind of fighting. Anyway, they came from Goguryeo to fight. Now they are still fighting, but they are loyal to different masters. In order to return home as soon as possible, they
He had no other ideas and wanted to defeat his current master's enemies as soon as possible. So after hearing Zhao Yun's order, these Goguryeo soldiers immediately screamed and rushed towards Uicheng ahead!
"General Zhao! After this battle is over, we can march straight in and capture Fan Yang!" Beside Zhao Yun, Fazheng said to Zhao Yun with a smile: "Without the obstruction of Changli County, we can completely attack from Liaoxi County and Youbeiping County.
Pass through the middle! As for Yuyang County, I heard Gongsun Gong say that after the Wuhuan people were wiped out by Gongsun Zan a few years ago, Gongsun Zan didn’t have many troops in Yuyang! We can capture it without any effort.
Yuyang! Once Yuyang is defeated, it will be easy to capture Fanyang!"
It is not without reason that Fa Zheng is so confident. In recent years, in order to deal with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan will send a large number of troops each time he recruits to Jizhou and Qingzhou to fight. It is not that there are no troops left in Youzhou, but most of them
They are all concentrated in Changli County to defend Liaodong, or they stay in Fanyang, the capital of Youzhou, while the troops in other counties are pitifully few. As long as the Western Qin Army breaks through the blockade of Changli County, the only thing to be careful about next is
Fan Yang!
Zhao Yun also laughed when he heard this and said: "Xiaozhi, if we can successfully capture Youzhou this time, you will be indispensable!" Although Zhao Yun was the one who formulated the route, Fazheng proposed a strategy of using these prisoners to attack the city.
, is the main reason to ensure that the strength of the Western Qin Army is intact. After more than three years of training, Fazheng is obviously much more mature than three years ago. Zhao Yun can also see that after returning to Chang'an after this mission,
Fazheng will definitely be reused by the Lord, and maybe he can become a core strategist on the level of Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia!
Zhao Yun and Fazheng were chatting easily here, and Wei Yan beside him was smiling at first, but when he glanced at the battlefield in front of him, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and shouted in a deep voice: "Zilong! Something is wrong!"
"Huh?" Hearing Wei Yan's shouts, Zhao Yun and Fazheng both turned their heads and looked forward. They saw the 50,000 Goguryeo people in front, led by the Yan soldiers captured from Heishan and Beizhen.
He was rushing towards Yicheng. This was no problem, but what caught the attention of Zhao Yun and others was that there was not even a single figure visible on the top of Yicheng at this moment! Zhao Yun frowned, this
Where are all the defenders of Yicheng? Did they abandon the city and run away? Impossible! If they abandoned the city and fled, then there was no reaction from Song Xian's side! Moreover, according to the previous intelligence, this Yicheng
The guard general, Li Yu, the governor of Changli County, has won the trust of Gongsun Zan and is very loyal to Gongsun Zan. This person will never abandon Yicheng and run for his life without fighting a battle!
"Could it be that..." Fazheng also squinted his eyes and looked at the top of Yicheng in the distance. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he turned to look at Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, and said uncertainly: "Is there a scam?"
"Send the order!" Hearing the last two words of Fazheng, Zhao Yun also shuddered. The previous capture of Liaodong, Lianke Heishan, and Beizhen went so smoothly that Zhao Yun and others couldn't help but feel a little elated, and even
He didn't take the Yan army seriously. But the strange situation now made Zhao Yun suddenly remember that this Gongsun Zan was one of the princes of Guandong who had been fighting with his lord for many years! How could the Yan army under him be ordinary characters? Immediately
Zhao Yun immediately shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Let the army in front speed up the attack! Attack the city head quickly! And send someone to notify Song Xian, asking them to be careful! Don't fall into the enemy's ambush!"
Now that we have reached this point, it is impossible for Zhao Yun to order the troops to withdraw. Fortunately, the people who went to attack the city this time are all prisoners, and the majority of them are Goguryeo. Even if they are killed or injured in the trap, Zhao Yun and others will not be too embarrassed.
It's very distressing. Song Xian's side needs to be more careful, but Song Xian is leading the fastest cavalry. Even if he falls into the trap, I believe Song Xian is capable of breaking out. After the herald goes down, Zhao Yunsan
Everyone stared at Yicheng in front of them with their eyes wide open, and at the same time they became nervous, for fear of missing any subtle changes.
However, it seems that the worries of Zhao Yun and others were unnecessary. After hearing the intensive sound of war drums from behind, the Goguryeo people also accelerated their attack speed, and soon rushed under the wall of Yi City. Just like Gongsun Gong before.
The information given is the same. Although Uicheng is the capital of Changli County, the city defense facilities of Uicheng are no different from those of an ordinary small county. The city wall is only about five or six feet long! The Goguryeo people will simply
He set up a ladder on the city wall and soon began to climb up the city wall, but still not a single person was seen on the top of the city wall.
"Squeak!" Just when Zhao Yun and others thought that they were overly worried, a squeaking sound suddenly sounded. Although the sound was not very loud, it made their hearts ache when it fell on the ears of Zhao Yun and others.
Trembling. Everyone raised their heads and looked at Yicheng, and saw that the gate of Yicheng in front of them, which was originally tightly closed, was actually opened at this moment!
"Kill -!" A loud shout sounded, and then, a flash of white flashed through the gate of Yicheng, but a white wave rushed out from the gate of Yicheng.
, crashed directly into the middle of the Goguryeo army that was already surrounding the city wall outside the city!
"This is the White Horse Yi Cong!" Zhao Yun and the other three stared with wide eyes at the cavalry rushing out from Yi City. They were all wearing silver armor and sitting on white horses. Although three years have passed, this look still remains.
For Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, they are very familiar with it. It is Gongsun Zan's ace army - Baima Yicong!
"Damn it! There really is a ghost!" Wei Yan shouted, punched his thigh hard, picked up the bipolar knife in his hand, and was about to rush over.
"Wait a minute!" Zhao Yun quickly grabbed Wei Yan and shouted: "Wen Chang! Don't be impulsive! The enemy is now mixed with the Goguryeo people. If we kill like this, we will be tripped by those Goguryeo people! Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
etc!"
Zhao Yun was right. The Goguryeo people in front were rushed by the sudden appearance of Baima Yicong and fell into complete chaos. At the same time, a large number of archers suddenly appeared on the originally quiet city top, heading towards the city wall.
The Goguryeo people below were shooting arrows. However, the Baima Yicong did not continue to charge forward. He just charged back and forth in the area around the city wall. In this way, the Goguryeo people behind him unintentionally became the barrier between the Western Qin Army and Baima Yicong.
Shield! If the Western Qin army wants to attack Baima Yicong, it must first pass through these Goguryeo people.
It was not that Zhao Yun had never thought of killing these obstructive Goguryeo people, but after calming down, Zhao Yun immediately gave up the idea. These Goguryeo and Yan army prisoners were already emotionally unstable. If the Western Qin army treated them
If the killing ban is launched, these prisoners may immediately turn around and join forces with Baima Yicong! At that time, it will be a fatal blow to the Western Qin Army!
"Tsk! Something's wrong!" Zhao Yun was already anxious in his heart, but on the surface he still kept calm, staring at the battlefield in front of him, and suddenly said: "According to the intelligence, there are not only three or four thousand defenders in Yicheng.
People? Look at this number, it’s much more than this number! What’s going on?”
After hearing this, Wei Yan and Fazheng looked around quickly. Sure enough, they saw that there were more than a thousand archers on the top of the city, and there were nearly five or six thousand white-horse Yi Cong rushing out from the city gate at this moment.
People! And soldiers and horses are still pouring out of the city. Apparently there are more white-horse followers than this! This is obviously inconsistent with the intelligence they had before! Could it be that Gongsun Gong lied? This idea just came to mind,
He was immediately thrown away by Zhao Yun and the others. Gongsun Gong simply didn't have the guts to lie to them!
Since Gongsun Gong was not lying, it meant that the situation in Yicheng had changed. But what the change was, Zhao Yun and others could not figure it out. Zhao Yun turned around and shouted to the messenger: "Quick! Send the order! Steady.
Hold your position! Keep attacking!"
Zhao Yun's order made the herald stunned. In this situation, the best way is to withdraw the troops, right? Why did Zhao Yun still order the army to attack? However, after Zhao Yun gave the order, Wei Yan and Fazheng did not propose it.
Any opinion obviously agrees with Zhao Yun's judgment. The herald will naturally not be confused and question the general's order at this time. He should give a shout and go down to issue Zhao Yun's order. Soon, there was a rhythm.
The sound of war drums sounded, conveying Zhao Yun's orders with a special rhythm, urging the army in front to continue the attack!
