Outside Pingyuan City, Xue Jiajun and Yan Army lined up outside the city. As the commanders of the two armies, Luo Shou, Wen Yanbo, Xue Wanshu and Xue Wanche also stood in front of the formation on war horses, looking at Pingyuan City in the distance.
.
She turned around and glanced at the army behind her. Although it was called the coalition army, the Xue Jiajun and the Yan army were still clearly arranged in two square formations. Xue Wanshu narrowed her eyes. She turned around and said to Luo Shou: "General Luo, we are in the plain now.
We have been outside the city for three days. Dou Jiande has made it clear that he does not plan to leave the city to fight. Doesn’t General Luo still plan to attack the city?"
Three days ago, the coalition forces of the two armies arrived at Pingyuan City. Originally, Xue Wanshu planned to attack Pingyuan City immediately. However, Luo Shou put forward an opinion. In order to reduce casualties, it was best to lure Dou Jiande out of the city to fight. At first, Xue Wanshu
He was also worried that his troops were too small. In order to reduce losses, he agreed to Luo Shou's suggestion. However, a few days passed. No matter how he was tempted, Dou Jiande refused to go out of the city to fight. Xue Wanshu couldn't help it when she saw it. After all, they
Although it was an allied force, its record was too ugly. In front of the other two armies, it would not be justified. So Xue Wanshu began to propose a direct forcible attack on Pingyuan City. But what surprised Xue Wanshu was that for his proposal, Luo Shou and Wen Yanbo
However, they tried every means to evade the responsibility, but refused to send troops. This also made Xue Wanshu doubtful.
Xue Wanshu had already made up her mind today. She could not delay it any longer. That’s why she questioned Luo Shou so directly. When Xue Wanshu asked him this question, Luo Shou also looked embarrassed. He hesitated but could not explain a reason.
Wen Yanbo, who was standing next to him, saw it and said with a smile: "General Xue Er, this Pingyuan City is well defended. If we attack forcefully, I'm afraid we will lose a lot of soldiers and horses. In my opinion, we can't attack forcefully."
.It’s better not to attack by force.”
Seeing Luo Shou's appearance and then looking at Wen Yanbo, Xue Wanshu could almost conclude that Luo Shou and Wen Yanbo must be hiding something from her. Immediately, Xue Wanshu shouted in a deep voice: "Master Wen's words are wrong. Could it be?
Just because the enemy's city is well defended, why should we give up attacking the plain? From this point of view, doesn't it mean that all the cities in the world are impenetrable? Our goal is to defeat the traitor Dou Jiande. Naturally, we must go all out. And
How can we be timid because of this? Could it be that the soldiers and horses of His Highness King Yan are also so timid and afraid of getting into trouble?"
Xue Wanshu deliberately brought the conversation to Luo Yi. The purpose was to test Luo Shou and Wen Yanbo. After Xue Wanshu finished speaking, Wen Yanbo's expression immediately changed. Then the smile on his face slowly dropped.
He said in a deep voice: "Please be careful, General Xue Er. King Yan has experienced hundreds of battles. In every battle, he has taken the lead. How can he be said to be timid and fearful of trouble? How can he be blamed on King Yan? What I am doing is nothing more than out of reason.
Considering the Xue family army, since General Xue doesn’t appreciate it, I won’t be sentimental anymore. General Xue wants to attack the city. Please do as you please.”
A flash of light flashed across Xue Wanshu's eyes. She carefully observed Wen Yanbo's expression. It seemed that he was really angry because of what he just said. Then Xue Wanshu laughed again. She clasped her fists at Wen Yanbo and said, "Why are you so angry, Mr. Wen?
The boy just said something in a hurry. Before the boy came to join the alliance, my father also told him to listen to the opinions of his seniors. This time in the attack on Pingyuan City, the boy was only a deputy. He could really play a role.
The decisive factor depends on King Yan’s cavalry."
"Hmph." Hearing Xue Wanshu's flattery, Wen Yanbo's face looked much better. He snorted coldly. Then he raised his head and glanced at Pingyuan City in front. He hummed: "Since Dou Jiande refuses to leave the city, then we Delaying time here will be of no use. Okay, let's follow General Xue Er's method and attack this city by force."
Although the commander-in-chief of the Yan army here is Luo Shou, Xue Wanshu knows that the one who can really make the decision is Wen Yanbo. Since Wen Yanbo said so, there is no problem. Xue Wanshu was overjoyed immediately. He shouted to Xue Wanche, who was beside him: "Fourth brother, pass on the order. The whole army is ready to attack."
Xue Wanche didn't understand those things. If it weren't for Xue Wanshu's previous explanation, he would have led the Xue family army to Pingyuan City. Now that Xue Wanshu was so cold, Xue Wanche was very happy. He immediately shouted behind him. "Boys, follow me up." After saying that, Xue Wanche took the lead and rushed out with his halberd in hand.
Seeing Xue Wanche rushing so forward, Xue Wanshu was too late even if she wanted to shout. She could only turn around, clasped her fists at Wen Yanbo and said, "Master Wen, the Xue family's army is insufficient. Please ask Mr. Wen to send the Yan army to help."
Wen Yanbo squinted his eyes and smiled and said: "General Xue, please rest assured. Since you and I are both coalition forces, we naturally have to join forces to fight against the enemy. General, please send troops." The last words were spoken by Wen Yanbo to Luo Shou beside him. Anyway, Luo Shou is also the apparent commander-in-chief of the Yan army.
After hearing Wen Yanbo's words, Luo Shou, who had been silent before, woke up as if from a dream. He immediately nodded repeatedly, then pulled out the sword from his waist. With a wave of the sword, he carried his soldiers and horses towards Rushing forward, Xue Wanshu was relieved when she saw Luo Shou leading the Yan army to fight. However, seeing Xue Wanche rushing at the front, Xue Wanshu was still not at ease. Then she turned to Wen Yanbo and said: "Sir Wen, I leave the responsibility of commanding the rear to you, sir. I'll go take care of my brother."
Hearing Xue Wanshu's words, a light flashed in Wen Yanbo's eyes. Then he returned to his smiling look. He gently stroked his beard and said to Xue Wanshu: "General Xue Si is so brave. There should be no such thing. What’s the problem? But it’s best for the Second General to go and take care of it. Second General, please rest assured. I will be responsible for the rear command.”
Xue Wanshu did not notice Wen Yanbo's abnormality at that moment. However, Xue Wanshu knew something about Wen Yanbo's ability. Besides, Wen Yanbo was just a scholar with no power. Even if he followed her on the battlefield, It was useless. Xue Wanshu nodded vigorously, then directly raised the halberd and chased forward on horseback. When Xue Wanshu left, only Wen Yanbo and hundreds of soldiers were left behind the battlefield. Wen Yanbo Seeing Xue Wanshu's back getting further and further away, her eyes opened slightly. Another light flowed from her eyes. Then, Wen Yanbo raised his hand behind him and made a strange gesture.
Let's say that Xue Wanche took the lead. He rushed to the front. He was the first to rush to the gate of Pingyuan City. Looking at the high suspension bridge and the Xia Army soldiers on the city top, Xue Wanche gave a cold shout. He held the painted halberd in his hand. With a direct wave, the whole person jumped up from the horse. He jumped as high as the suspension bridge that had just been hoisted. Then, the halberd in Xue Wanche's hand stabbed fiercely. The crescent shovel on the halberd It happened to be chopped on the suspension bridge. The blade was deeply embedded in the wooden rafts of the suspension bridge. When Xue Wanche's body fell down, with the help of the painted halberd, Xue Wanche was actually hung directly on the suspension bridge.
Naturally, the Xia army on the top of the city would not let Xue Wanche act recklessly in front of the city gate. Soon, arrows were flying towards Xue Wanche like rain. But facing the rain of arrows, Xue Wanche's whole body was stunned. Like a monkey, he lay directly at the bottom of the suspension bridge, using the suspension bridge to block the arrows. But in this way, Xue Wanche couldn't show his head, because the arrows were constantly attacking him.
Seeing this scene, Xue Wanshu behind him was also anxious. He rushed to the front on horseback. While rushing back, he shouted: "Charge up. Rush up. Where are the archers? Archers. Hurry. Quickly suppress the people at the top of the city. Archer."
As Xue Wanshu shouted angrily, the archers of the Xue family army also quickly stepped forward, bent their bows and nocked arrows, and shot towards the top of the city. Although the Xue family army was the weakest among the coalition forces, compared with the zero on the city top, The Xia army was scattered, but there were still many more. The number of archers alone far exceeded the Xia army. This suppression immediately forced the Xia army's archers on the top of the city to be unable to move forward.
With the suppression of Xue Jiajun's archers, the number of arrows fired at Xue Wanche was also reduced. Xue Wanche also took this opportunity to use his hands and feet to climb up from the bottom of the suspension bridge. He stood firmly on the suspension bridge and raised his head. Glancing at the top of the city, Xue Wanche smiled coldly. He quickly waved the painted halberd in his hand to the left and right. Immediately, the iron chains holding the suspension bridge were cut off by Xue Wanche's painted halberd. The suspension bridge was also lifted from the ground in an instant. It fell down in mid-air and made a loud noise.
Xue Wanche, who cut off the suspension bridge, always stood on the suspension bridge. After the suspension bridge was settled, Xue Wanche even raised his arms and shouted: "My sons, kill on the top of the city and capture Dou Jiande alive." With Xue Wanche's shout, Xue Jiajun and Yan Jun both They shouted in unison. The two armies launched an attack on Pingyuan City's wall at the same time.
Seeing that Xue Wanche was safe and sound, Xue Wanshu was relieved. She turned around and shouted to Luo Shou next to her: "General Luo, without further ado, I also ask the general to order the Yan army soldiers to be transported up the ladder and prepare to storm the city." head."
"Ah. Oh." On this battlefield, Luo Shou seemed a little absent-minded. He didn't even understand what Xue Wanshu just said. It took him a long time to react. He immediately nodded to Xue Wanshu and said: "Yes. Ji. Yes Ji. I want to attack the city. Attack the city."
Although the reaction to Luo Shou was a bit strange, but now that it was at this point, Xue Wanshu didn't have much time to think about other issues. She glanced at Luo Shou and then directed the Xue family army beside her to attack the Pingyuan City wall.
