Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 25 Xicheng Saves People
Shao Ji, Wang Zhong and many brothers were attracted by the distant situation and stood up to watch.

This place is more than a mile away from the west of the city. It is the place where they camped. It is located on the periphery, and the west side, which has been calm for dozens of days, suddenly becomes lively.

The screams of killing are getting louder and louder, and from a distance, you can still see the blue smoke rising into the sky.

Everyone was excited, and they were curious to discuss what happened.

Shi Congyun watched for a while, kicked Wang Zhong next to him, and then drove everyone away: "Don't look blindly, go and feed the horses with armor, maybe something will happen later."

"It's their business to siege the city. It's enough for us to fight with our lives. We can't let us run away from the city and stab the Northern Han people to death!" Wang Zhong complained.

"Fuck you, you're the one who talks a lot. If your mouth doesn't have anything to say one day, you'll be on the wall right away!" Shi Congyun scolded back.

Everyone laughed loudly, and quickly executed it with neat hands and feet, and went to put on armor and feed the horses.

Shi Congyun also put on thick armor with the help of Shao Ji, also put on armor for his horse, and fed him with grass and water.

As the saying goes, be prepared. The advantage of the cavalry lies in their mobility. They can reinforce the battlefield at any time and seize the opportunity. Now Ximen seems to be fighting, maybe they need reinforcements.

The screams of killing in the west continued for a long time, about half an hour passed.

The battle in front of them sounded fierce, but the army camped in front of them was silent.

Shi Congyun understood the situation. These troops were the army of Jiedushi, and they seemed to be the Waiya army under the command of Jiedushi Wang Yanchao in the river.

As for camaraderie?If it doesn't exist, it's more likely that the friendly forces are in trouble and move like a mountain.

At noon, a soldier covered in blood rushed into the camp. He kept kowtowing and crying when he saw anyone. He didn't know what he was shouting, but the people around him were indifferent and indifferent.

Shi Congyun vaguely heard words like "help." and "help".

Let Shao Ji bring people for questioning.

When the man saw him, he was like grabbing a life-saving straw, kowtow desperately, and kept saying, "General Gaoyi! General Shenwu! Please go to Ximen to save the brothers!

There are so many thieves and soldiers, my general is trapped in Ximen!
Ask the general to save them! "

Shi Congyun immediately understood, and sure enough something happened, he even helped him up, and then hurriedly gathered a group of people to go to the west gate.

Everyone had already finished preparing for the battle. At this time, an order was given, and they followed and galloped towards Ximen.

As he walked, Shi Congyun thought about the situation in the west.

He will not blindly rescue, if the situation is too bad, he will not let his brother die in vain.

Soon, everyone arrived at the west gate of Taiyuan City, located on the bank of the Fen River.

Thick smoke billowed in the distance, and the huge wooden city gate was burning fiercely. It was probably made of some flammable material. The battle was huge, and the smoke and dust came from there. middle.

There were more Northern Han soldiers surrounding them, and the area within twenty steps outside the city gate was densely packed.

It is hard to see how many people are inside, but there are only two to three hundred people outside the door, because the door opening is narrow, no matter how many people there are, it is difficult to spread out.

Shi Congyun was hundreds of steps away from the city gate. From a distance, he couldn't understand the situation. Zhou Jun was surrounded in the city cave?How did they get in?Get out of town?In short, he was stunned and puzzled for a while, but it was too late to think about those.

"Can it be saved?" Shi Congyun adjusted his breathing and directly asked Wang Zhong and Shao Ji beside him.

"Yes! There are many people in the Northern Han Dynasty, but the door is too small. They surrounded the people inside, and now they have their backs to us, and it is not a big problem to rush over to save people." Wang Zhong quickly made a judgment.

Shi Congyun then stopped his horse and said: "Brothers, we are also the Paoze brothers of the banned army in front, and we can't see death without help.

After a while, we will rush over to break them up from behind, open a gap, don't fight, and leave after saving people! "

Everyone promises.

Shi Congyun was not in a hurry to go up, and made some detailed tactical arrangements.

Along the way, he can also call himself half a veteran.

He ordered Shao Ji to lead 150 heavy cavalry to charge the Northern Han army on the west side, and Wang Zhong led light cavalry to cover the east, and let the people inside retreat after tearing the opening.

After explaining the tactics and letting all the soldiers know, the three hundred cavalry divided into two groups and ran towards the west gate.

When they were about a hundred paces away, the Northern Han soldiers had already noticed their arrival, and they were also discovered by the surrounding troops.

When Zhou Jun, who was surrounded, saw his own people, his morale soared, and he fought back, desperately hacking from left to right.

Commanded by Shi Congyun in the middle, Wang Zhong led more than a hundred light cavalry around to the right flank, fired bows and crossbows, and shot down several Northern Han soldiers on the right flank. front.

At the moment of the battle, the horses neighed, the soldiers wailed, and the northern Han soldiers in the west were directly stabbed to death, knocking them into large pieces, and the Zhou army inside was fighting desperately, and the enemy was attacked on both sides. gap.

The besieged Zhou Jun quickly took the opportunity to rush out.

Afterwards, he did not retreat. Instead, he stabilized the formation again, and attacked with Shao Ji's left-wing cavalry, and cooperated with the right-wing Wang Zhong's light cavalry to attack the Northern Han army from left and right.

Hundreds of Northern Han soldiers who came out of the city were slaughtered, and they crowded into the door.

But the doorway was too narrow, and dozens of people were shot and killed by Wang Zhong's light cavalry in the doorway.

Shi Congyun watched from more than 50 steps away, and felt that this group of friendly troops was unusual. They were able to fight to the death when they were surrounded, and they were disciplined after they broke through.

This small-scale battle lasted for more than half an hour. The soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty were caught off guard by their sudden siege relief force, and they left dozens of corpses and returned to the city.

The besieged Zhou soldiers also died a lot.

Shi Congyun also ordered the entire army to retreat, not to go deep.

After retreating to a mile away from the city gate, everyone put down their vigilance and breathed a sigh of relief.

Many Zhou Jun soldiers who survived the disaster were slumped on the ground, and some people stepped forward to thank them.

At this time, the flow of people separated, and a darker-skinned man with a tiger's back and a burly waist came out of the crowd, covered in blood, with half an arrow stuck in his arm.

"Many thanks to this general for rescuing my brothers and everyone, thank you here!" As he said that, he was about to kneel.

Shi Congyun quickly dismounted to support him: "Everyone is in the army, and the general doesn't have to do this."

The man looked about 27 or [-] years old, with a square face and strong Kong Wu. He stopped kneeling after being supported. After all, he still had injuries on his body. "Dare to ask the name of the little general. Zhao will report his great favor today!"

Shi Congyun replied: "Xia Shi Congyun is the capital of Longjie's army. You don't have to be polite, the general, and quickly deal with the serious injuries with the brothers."

The big man was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "It turned out to be General Shi's followers, no wonder they are so brave! That certain will retire first, and thank you later!"

Shi Congyun handed over, and the black-faced man was supported by the surrounding soldiers to find the doctor.

After these days, Shi Congyun also gradually understood that his father's name in the Zhou army was known to almost everyone. Just like everyone knew that Zhang Yuanhui was the number one general in the Northern Han Dynasty, almost all the soldiers of the Zhou army also knew that Shi Yanchao was Zhou. The first general of the army.

He had never thought of this kind of reputation before, because his father was at home, and he was very ordinary to him, his aunt, his wife, and the waiters, and he didn't have the prestige of Zhou Jun's number one general.

It wasn't until he had been in the army for a long time that he knew that his father had such a great reputation!

Just like the black-faced general who was rescued just now, he actually knew Shi Yanchao's name.

Shi Congyun was quite proud, and he realized with hindsight that being "like your father" was such a compliment to him. He used to think that Xiang Xun was just polite to him by saying this.

Thinking about it now, saying "you are brave" and "you are as fierce as Zhou Jun's number one general" are completely two concepts.

On the day of the incident, their battalion also began to take care of the wounded. Shi Congyun thought it was over.

But in the evening, the sun was setting in the west, and everyone had just finished eating. When Shi Congyun was preparing to arrange a night patrol, someone came in and told him that the black-faced general during the day was waiting outside the camp and said to thank him.
