Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-Seven God Soldiers descended from heaven, Meng De was dumbfounded
"kill"
Amidst the roaring that shook the sky, five thousand tigers and wolves rushed down the mountain like a tide.
Despite the hardships of overcoming mountains and ridges.
Despite a narrow escape, the journey has been difficult.
Although the physical strength of the soldiers has been exhausted.
But now, all the hard work and exhaustion have vanished. The five thousand originally exhausted tigers and wolves, now seem to have been given a shot of chicken blood, exploding all their life potential.
Forgetting fatigue and death, every soldier who charged wildly with his sword had only one belief left in his mind:
Take Yinping for Lord Yan Liang!
Amidst the killing sound like landslides and earth shattering, five thousand soldiers poured down from all over the mountains and plains. Not long after, like divine soldiers descending from the sky, they appeared at the south gate of Yinping City, which was built against mountains and rivers.
Although Yinping City is a strategic location, because Hanzhong has been occupied by Cao Cao, Cao Cao's army is also garrisoned at Baishui Pass to the south. Moreover, further south, there are still Cao Cao's 70,000 to 80,000 troops supporting the Jiameng Pass line.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, Yinping, which is at a critical point, is actually far away from the flames of war and is not threatened by the enemy at all.
Therefore, there are only two generals, Yang Huai and Gao Pei, and less than a thousand soldiers and horses stationed in Yinping City.
At this time, night was approaching, and the city gate garrison had just been rotated. The five hundred soldiers on duty had returned to the camp to rest. The newly replaced soldiers on duty gathered together in twos and threes, chatting and dozing off.
Dozing off, there were less than two hundred defenders on the south gate line.
At the top of the city, Yang Huai and Gao Pei had finished handing over, and Yang Huai, who was changing shifts, was planning to chat with Gao Pei for a few words and then go down to the city to rest.
"Brother Yang, tell me why we are in trouble. Back then, under Liu Zhang, we commanded 10,000 soldiers and horses and garrisoned the important town of Baishui. Now we have surrendered to Cao Gong, but we were reduced to only 2,000 soldiers and horses.
Sent to garrison in a place like Yinping where there is no battle at all, there is no chance of even getting some credit."
Gao Pei saw that there was no one around him and couldn't help but complain to Yang Huai.
Yang Huai also sighed: "I heard that Zhang Ren and others who surrendered to Yan Liang were all reused by Yan Liang. If so, why did you and I surrender to Yan Liang at Baishui Pass, and why are we reduced to idle positions like this today?"
Gao Pei frowned: "Brother, you can't say that. Yan Liang is just a traitor to the Yuan family. Even if he is temporarily in power now, he will be defeated sooner or later. If you and I surrender Yan Liang, wouldn't it be degrading?
.”
Although Gao Pei complained that Cao Cao did not reuse him, he was very firm in his refusal to surrender.
Yang Huai couldn't say anything else, so he could only shake his head and sigh.
"Brother Yang, Prime Minister Cao's powerful strategy is to attack the south this time. Yan Liang will definitely not be able to defend it and will be driven out of Yizhou. Yizhou will be pacified by then. As Shu people, you and I will definitely be reused by Prime Minister Cao.
"What we have to do now is to endure the time." Gao Pei cheered Yang Huai up.
"I hope so, but judging from past results, Prime Minister Cao is no match for Yan Liang." Yang Huai seemed not very confident.
"Yan Liang's victory was due to luck rather than strength. Now the Prime Minister has led the elite troops from Guanlong and has all the fierce generals under his command. As long as the Prime Minister is serious about it, I believe that Yan Liang will not be his opponent." Gao Pei was full of confidence in Cao Cao.
Just as he finished speaking, a soldier suddenly shouted: "General, look, there seems to be soldiers and horses charging towards you outside the city!"
Soldiers and horses are coming!?
"What nonsense are you talking about? Yinping is thousands of miles away from Jiameng, how can there be soldiers and horses coming to kill?" Gao Pei thought that the soldiers were dazzled and scolded him with disdain.
Yang Huai felt suspicious and subconsciously turned his gaze outside the city.
Suddenly, Yang Huai's face suddenly changed, with such a horrified expression, as if he had seen the most incredible thing in the world.
"Yan...Yan...Yan Jun!" Yang Huai was so shocked that he stuttered.
Gao Pei turned his head to look disapprovingly. In an instant, his careless expression was swallowed up by endless fear.
But from the south, dust and mist were rising, and countless soldiers and horses were rushing toward them like a tidal wave.
In the dust and mist, Yan Jun's flag was flying proudly.
Yan Liang! It’s really Yan Jun!
"How is this possible? How could Yan Jun appear here? Could it be that they have wings?" Gao Pei exclaimed in horror.
As resourceful as Gao Pei, he naturally could not have imagined that Yan Jun would sneak into Yinping, cross 700 miles of uninhabited trails, and come to sneak attack the empty Yinping City.
"Don't worry so much, close the city gate quickly and prepare to meet the enemy." Gao Huai reacted first and shouted loudly.
The defenders at the top of the city were so frightened by the sudden appearance of Yan Jun that they became a mess.
Yang Huai and his two men could only scold these frightened soldiers, close the city gate, pull up the drawbridge, and send Pegasus to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the other three gates, and all of them came to the south gate for reinforcements.
But, it's too late.
Outside the city, Ma Dai and Deng Ai, without mounts, were running wildly on foot.
Behind him, five thousand "ragged" Yan Jun soldiers rushed toward him like hungry beasts.
In the blink of an eye, Yan Jun had rushed to the city.
At this time, the suspension bridge has been closed, the city gate has been closed, and the two hundred defenders are hurriedly firing arrows, but they can't resist Yan Jun's momentum.
Yan Jun rushed to the city, each with a bag of sand wrapped in his clothes. They rushed to the city and threw the bags of soil under the city wall. In a short time, several hills were piled up, reaching the city wall.
Yinping City is not very high.
"Brothers, go to the city and kill all of Cao's army, leaving no one behind." The young man Deng Ai waved his silver spear and climbed up the mountain first.
Cao Jun on the top of the city fired arrows in a hurry, trying to block Yan Jun who was climbing up.
Like an angry little tiger, Deng Ai flew up and up, his silver gun danced like spears in the sky, blocking the incoming arrows with a clanging sound, and in a moment he had climbed to the top of the city.
At the battlement, two Cao soldiers slashed at Deng Ai's waist with their swords.
Deng Ai shouted loudly, and with a flick of his silver spear, it pierced out like lightning, attacking on both sides.
But two screams were heard, blood was flying, and the two Cao soldiers had been stabbed to the ground.
Deng Ai jumped on his horse, shouted loudly, and stepped onto the top of Yinping City.
Deng Ai, who had reached the top of the city, rushed left and right with his silver spear, which was unstoppable and forced the surrounding Cao soldiers to retreat in all directions, not daring to move forward.
Not far away, Gao Pei saw that the city was breached, and he was so anxious that he killed him with his sword.
When Gao Pei pushed away his timid men and rushed forward, he was shocked to find that in front of him was a teenage boy. As if he was in an uninhabited place, he forced his soldiers so that they did not dare to approach.
Gao Pei's heart felt like he was being humiliated.
"Yellow-haired kid, you dare to show off your madness in front of me, let's see if I don't chop you into pieces!" The angry Gao Pei shouted loudly, dodged and rode towards Deng Ai.
Deng Ai saw the enemy slashing at him with a fierce attack, but he was not afraid at all. With a tremble of his ape arm, the silver spear came out from under his ribs like lightning.
Clang
Amid the roar of metal, Deng Ai's gun tip hit Gao Pei squarely on the back of the knife.
Under this blow, Gao Pei felt his arm shake, and a violent force struck him. The sword he had exerted all his strength was knocked back alive.
This guy is so young, but the strength of his gun is so impressive.
Gao Pei was shocked and shouted: "I, Gao Pei, will not kill nameless ghosts with my sword. Boy, tell me your name."
"I am Deng Ai, the adopted son of Grand Sima Yan Liang, Cao Ying's dog general, please bring him here." Deng Ai shouted proudly and stabbed Gao Pei straight in the face with his silver spear.
But I saw that silver spear, dancing in the sky, with pear blossoms, heading towards Gao Pei like a violent storm, and in a few moves, Gao Pei was unable to cope.
"It's unbelievable that Yan Liang's adopted son is so powerful..." The stunned Gao Pei didn't even have time to be shocked. He could only use all his strength to barely deal with the urgent attack of the young man in front of him.
Deng Ai's marksmanship was taught by a famous master like Wen Chou. How could a mere Gao Pei be his opponent?
After ten moves, Deng Ai suddenly made a sudden move, and the silver spear spiraled out, piercing through the layers of knife shadows, and went straight to Gao Pei's face.
But after hearing a scream, the sharp spear point pierced into Gao Pei's left eye like lightning. Gao Pei's body shook a few times before he fell to the ground dead.
Deng Ai's sword hit Gao Pei, and the morale of Yan's army was greatly boosted. The soldiers who followed rushed up the hill like a tide.
And the frightened Cao soldiers, seeing their general being killed, were so frightened that they fled in all directions.
On the other side of the city wall, Yang Huai saw Gao Pei being beheaded from a distance. He was so shocked that he lost all will to fight and immediately wanted to run away.
At this moment, a figure flashed in front of him, and a Yan Jun jumped from the mountain to the top of the city and stood in front of him. The person who came was none other than Ma Dai.
At this time, Yang Huai had no intention of fighting. The escape route in front of him was blocked. He rolled his eyes and immediately threw away the sword in his hand. He said with a smile: "General Ma, the last general Yang Huai is willing to return to Jiangyan Da Sima.
General Ma, please show mercy."
"I just thought of surrendering now, it's too late, go to hell!" Ma Dai, who hated Cao Cao so much, was so jealous that he sneered and slashed down with the long knife in his hand.
"No" screamed, Yang Huai's head flew to the ground.
The enemy general was awarded the head, and the morale of the army was shattered. Five thousand Yan troops rushed into Yinping City regardless of their own safety, killing all the remaining enemies.
Before the last ray of the setting sun disappeared, the bloody flag with the word "Yan" was already flying high in the sky above Yinping City.
…
To the north of Jiameng Pass is the main camp of Cao Ying.
In the Chinese army's tent, Cao Cao was holding the piece of information from Brazil County in his hand, with a rare expression of pride on his face.
A few days ago, the 10,000-strong partial army commanded by Xu Huang had a small victory over Li Yan in the Danqu area, killing 800 enemies. Li Yan, who was unfavorable in the confrontation, was forced to retreat to Dangshi.
At this time, Xu Huang has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Brazil County. As long as he defeats Dangshi again, he can drive straight in, take Jiangzhou, and cut off the connection between Jingyi and Jingzhou.
"Xu Gongming is indeed both wise and brave. He did not let me down." Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled, feeling quite proud.
"Brazil is unfavorable. Yan Liang will have to send enemies from Jiamengguan to reinforce. It will be the time for our army to attack the key point on a large scale." Guo Jia said with a faint smile.
Cao Cao laughed, and the generals in the tent also laughed, and the atmosphere was relaxed and high-spirited.
At this moment, the curtain was raised, Liu Ye stood up in a hurry, and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, something bad happened. Yinping City was attacked by Yan Jun."
"What!" Cao Cao's expression of relief and pride suddenly collapsed.
