In response to Zhang Fei's words, Sima Yi always maintained that half-smiling expression, nodded lightly, and said: "Thank you for your hard work, General Three. Let's go back and have a rest first! We'll just fight again tomorrow!" After saying that, Sima Yi directly
He just turned his horse's head and rushed towards the military camp behind, which made Zhang Fei feel a little at a loss.
At the same time, Wenpin, who was watching the Chu army slowly retreat outside the city, breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed: "In the past, when my lord talked about the world's masters, he would always mention Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei's account.
I have always disagreed with it when I mentioned it in my mouth! Now that I have seen how powerful Zhang Fei is, I know that what my lord said is true! Zhang Fei is not inferior even to Old General Huang! These boys can learn from Zhang Fei
It can be said that Fei's men are extremely lucky to have survived!"
Gao Shun just nodded silently. When Le Wei and Gao Xiu almost died at the hands of Zhang Fei just outside the city, Gao Shun still had the same dead face, but Wenpin watched carefully until Le Wei and Gao Xiu
After Xiu fled into the city gate, Gao Shun's clenched fists were released. Gao Shun was obviously not the type to reveal his feelings easily. Of course, Wenpin didn't intend to tell the truth, he just felt it was funny in his heart.
Gao Shun didn't realize that Wenpin had seen through his thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "The enemy has retreated today, but we can't take it lightly on the city! General Guo! I'll leave the city guard to you tonight!"
"Here!" Guo Huai's skills are much worse than those of the others. Guo Huai himself is also self-aware, so he just left the city to challenge, and Guo Huai did not follow him out. Apart from Guo Huai, there are others who stayed on the top of the city.
After Deng Ai heard Gao Shun's order, Guo Huai immediately cupped his fists and shouted, then began to take over from Gao Shun to direct the soldiers to deploy their defenses.
After giving instructions, Gao Shun turned around and went down. Looking at Gao Shun's back, Wenpin shook his head and said to Deng Ai: "Shizai! You can stay to help Boji tonight!"
After that, Wenpin followed Gao Shun down to the top of the city. Wenpin was also worried about the injuries of Hao Zhao and others.
When the two of them got off the city, it happened that the six generals of Le Wei also dismounted with the help of the soldiers. Judging from the appearance of everyone, I am afraid that Le Wei and Wang Shuang were seriously injured, and most of the others were injured.
It was a skin injury. As for Xu Yi, she was already lying next to the city wall and fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing Gao Shun and Wenpin coming, all the generals hurried forward and saluted the two with clasped fists. Wang Shuang said with a look of shame: "General Gao! General Wen! The last general is incompetent and lost this battle.
The morale of the army has been ruined! Please punish me, general!" To be honest, Wang Shuang didn't expect to be able to defeat Zhang Fei, but he didn't expect that all the generals working together would not be Zhang Fei's opponent. If they were defeated, then
However, the morale of the defenders plummeted, which would have a great impact on future battles to defend the city.
Gao Shun just waved his hand and didn't care, but Wenpin behind him smiled and reassured: "You guys just entered the city and didn't realize that Zhang Fei was also injured! The Chu army outside the city is retreating now.
! It’s all because of you that we managed to survive this day!” As he said that, Wenpin also felt a little bit sad. After all, the tens of thousands of troops outside the city are not just decorations, and with such fierce generals as Zhang Fei,
Whether Changyuan can be defended or not is a matter of two minds.
Hearing Wenpin's words, the generals were not very surprised. Le Wei and Dian Man looked at each other, and Dian Man sighed and said: "Zhang Fei is really awesome! Today's battle is about to happen."
, In fact, we lost! In fact, if Zhang Fei was willing to wait for a while and a half, until Lao Xu's gun lost its effectiveness, he would easily defeat us! But he chose our strongest moment to attack! This time, we,
I am really convinced that I have lost!”
Noriman's words also caused others to fall silent. Apparently they all had the same idea. Looking at their looks, you can tell that these proud men of heaven have suffered a big blow! Seeing everyone like this, Wenpin also
Not knowing how to comfort him, Gao Shun suddenly said: "There are only two ways to win or lose in a war! You can't give up until the last moment!"
Two simple sentences, but they were so decisive that everyone couldn't help but feel shocked. Everyone raised their heads and looked at Gao Shun. Gao Shun still maintained his indifferent expression at this moment, but looking at Gao Shun's expression
, but everyone could not help but feel calm in their hearts, and the blow they had just received had disappeared!
"Okay! Okay!" Wenpin also felt inferior to Gao Shun's timing, but when he saw that all the generals were cheered up by Gao Shun's two words, Wenpin was also very happy, and immediately told everyone
Said: "Everyone has worked hard, go back and rest first! Remember to ask the doctor to check your injuries! Don't be brave!"
After sending all the generals away, Wenpin breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and said to Gao Shun with a smile: "General Gao! Anyway, another day has passed today! Wait for two more days, and the lord's reinforcements will arrive.
We can arrive! By then we will be able to defeat the Chu army and relieve the siege of Changyuan!" News had been sent from the west before that Luo Yang's army has arrived in Chenliu territory, and it only takes two days to reach Changyuan.
Gao Shun didn't have much happy expression on his face. He just glanced thoughtfully in the direction outside the city and said in a deep voice: "I'm a little worried about tonight!" Gao Shun said this very concisely, but his meaning was so obvious.
However, they are obviously worried that the Chu army will come back tonight to attack at night!
"Haha! Don't worry, General Gao!" Wenpin understood what Gao Shun meant, and immediately shook his head and said, "I dare not say anything about others. With Bo Ji and Shi Zai here, there should be no need to worry at the top of the city!"
"I hope so!" Gao Shun thought about it carefully. Guo Huai and Deng Ai are indeed stable people. Although they are still a little worried, there is only so much they can do now! Even if they are together with Wenpin
He walked towards the city, but before leaving, Gao Shun couldn't help but turn around and look outside the city.
It was almost dusk when the battle ended, so by the time the defense line on the city was ready, it was already dark. Guo Huai looked at the complete defense line on the city and he breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head.
He said to Deng Ai who was beside him: "Shizai! It's enough as long as I'm here. You can go downstairs and take a rest first!"
Deng Ai shook his head and said: "No! Brother Boji! I'm fine! But you, the injuries on your body haven't been completely healed yet, so you should go and rest! I'll guard you and make sure everything is fine!" What Deng Ai was referring to was,
But it was the injury Guo Huai suffered in the last battle of Lihu. Although nothing was visible on the surface at the time, it was later discovered that several bones in Guo Huai's body were broken. Fortunately, Guo Huai could endure it and kept carrying him.
Wounded combat.
Guo Huai couldn't help but smile hoarsely and said: "You are a general. How can a general not rest before the soldiers rest first?" In the previous battle at Lihu, although Hao Zhao and others helped to exonerate him, Guo Huai, as the chief general, was guilty of dereliction of duty.
That's for sure. The military laws of the Western Qin Army are strict, and Wenpin also removed Guo Huai's military rank in accordance with the military laws. Seriously, Guo Huai is just a small soldier now! It's just that the enemy is facing a big enemy, and Guo Huai is talented, so he let him
He was just fulfilling his duties as a general.
Deng Ai shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "If that's the case, then I, the general, ordered you to rest. Do you have to obey the order?"
Deng Ai's joking statement could only make Guo Huai reluctantly agree. After taking one last look around to make sure there were no loopholes, he gave a final explanation to Deng Ai: "It's almost time. The more it is at this time,
, it is the best time for the enemy to make a sneak attack. You have to be careful and call me if anything happens!" After the explanation, Guo Huai could only go down from the city. Not to mention, Guo Huai is really good now.
A little tired.
After sending Guo Huai away, Deng Ai took over from Guo Huai and began to guard the city. In fact, there was no need to worry too much about guarding the city. After all, nearly half of the people stationed at the city were elite men trapped in the camp. These
The soldiers trapped in the camp have even guarded Hangu Pass for so many years. There is no problem in guarding the Changyuan City for a night or two! But even so, Deng Ai did not take it lightly because of this. On the contrary, he became more and more cautious.
Don’t dare to make any mistakes!
In the blink of an eye, nearly an hour passed, and more than half of the midnight hour passed. Deng Ai raised his head and looked at the night sky. He didn't know why tonight, not even a single star could be seen in the sky, and the moon was also covered in darkness all night.
Dark clouds covered the city. Although many torches were lit on top of the city, the effect of the light outside the city was limited.
"General! It's getting late. I don't think the enemy will come for a sneak attack. General, you can go and rest first! Just have your subordinates waiting here!" Seeing Deng Ai looking up at the sky, a lieutenant next to him misunderstood Deng Ai.
With Ai's thoughts in mind, he immediately came to persuade Deng Ai to rest.
Deng Ai did not turn around to scold the deputy general. He just waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. The stakes here are very important and cannot be taken lightly! Send the order and let the soldiers take turns! There will be a hard battle tomorrow, so don't waste all your energy.
All gone!" After saying that, Deng Ai walked straight to the female wall and continued to look outside the city. The deputy general was so bored that he could only retreat and carry out Deng Ai's military orders.
"Shizai!" A shout rang out, and Deng Ai turned around to see that Guo Huai, who had just gone down to rest, came up to the top of the city again and hurried towards this side.
Seeing Guo Huai coming up, Deng Ai frowned and rushed to meet him and said, "Brother Bo Ji, didn't I ask you to go down and rest first? Why did you come up again?"
"I've already rested!" Guo Huai smiled and said nonchalantly: "Isn't this the time for you to go down and have a rest? You go down, I will take your place!"
