Chapter 7 General

A soldier urgently reported: "General, the enemy has led 2 troops to the direction of Yancheng." Sun Mingfu, the deputy general beside him, pointed to the map and said, "General, the enemy has a large number of troops. It's not a small test!" I saw a man of eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing silver armor, tall and straight, vigorous, handsome, with a neat bun on his head, this person was Lin Zixian, the general of the guards.

Lin Zixian looked calm, and said: "Notify the people at Xiaguan, divide the troops into two groups, one goes to support Yancheng, and the other lays an ambush behind Yancheng to prevent them from fleeing towards Bincheng.

At noon, with the scorching sun in the sky, the enemy army was already approaching the city. Seeing that there were not many defensive soldiers on the outer wall of the city, and seeing the panicked soldiers running around on the city wall, seemingly unprepared, the enemy commander was heartbroken. He was overjoyed and elated, thinking that the city was unprepared, so he ordered his soldiers to attack the city with all their strength, and within an hour, they easily captured the city, and when they entered the city, there was no sign of a single citizen. They all ran away without a trace, and a soldier from the enemy army came to report: "General, the gates of every house in the city are closed, and I haven't seen any livestock or valuables in the city." There was a puff of thick smoke, and the enemy commander suddenly shouted: "It's no good, we have been tricked, and retreat quickly." After hearing the order, the soldiers who attacked the city hurried towards the gate of the city. Halfway through, the gate of the city was suddenly closed, and the soldiers who had escaped from the city fell into a big pit without going far. There were many pointed wooden thorns buried in the pit, and there were screams and wails all at once. Countless, the soldiers in the city were not much better. Arrows flew from all directions like rain, and fell on the fleeing soldiers. At this time, the general Sun Yan and the soldiers who guarded the city appeared, and they killed most of them. The enemy soldiers, everyone's morale was very high, and they deliberately let go of the enemy general. The general left the soldiers under him and fled out of the city first, and a few soldiers also escaped. They were fleeing towards the direction of Bincheng. Halfway there, he was intercepted and killed by the people who had ambushed in advance, and almost all the soldiers around him were killed. Seeing this scene, the enemy commander ignored his soldiers and did not turn around to help them. Here at Koushan, I stopped, only to see a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old standing in front of me, full of vigor and majesty, it was Lin Zixian, who was riding a horse of Han blood, holding a spear in his hand, blocking his attack Go out, and shouted: "Stop, take your life!" After finishing speaking, he picked up the long spear in his hand, stabbed it directly, hit the vital point, and subdued the enemy's commander in two moves. All the soldiers present clapped and applauded. The general is mighty, and this battle is also a complete victory.

The border invader this time is the Nandian Kingdom.Nandian Kingdom was originally a small border country in the south. In recent years, its national strength has increased, so it has repeatedly invaded, causing the people on the border to suffer untold hardships.This time, because of the support of Asda in the west, the two countries joined forces to attack. Under the leadership of General Nan of Zhen Guogong, the soldiers of Dagan Kingdom were well-trained and their morale was high. They didn't take advantage of any of the crimes they made each time, nor did they break through a single city.The border of Nandian Kingdom is mainly guarded by Lin Zixian's troops, while the border of Asda Kingdom in the west is guarded by his father Zhen Guogong himself. Facing repeated provocations and attacks from these two small countries for more than a year, they repelled the enemy several times. military.

This time the enemy army even sent 5 elite soldiers to pretend to attack Xiyuan City today. Xiyuan City is a fortress that must be contested by military strategists. They chose to detour from the mountains and forests on the west side and throw 2 elite soldiers to attack the relatively weak Yancheng. , Xiyuan City became an isolated city, isolated and unfathomable, and could easily be breached. At that time, Asda invaded from the west and attacked from left and right. He sent his elite troops to guard here in advance, and set traps inside and outside the city, waiting for the enemy to invade.This time the enemy army was defeated, Asda would not dare to send troops. The morale of the Nandian soldiers was greatly reduced, while our army's morale was greatly increased, and they were even more invincible. Nandian sent envoys to negotiate peace, and the two countries ceased fighting.

This battle was a great victory, and the whole country celebrated with joy. Liu Shiyue also arrived in Qizhou under the escort of Wu Ziyi. After arriving in Qizhou, Liu Shiyue temporarily stayed at her uncle's house. Go to Qizhou to see her lady.After Wu Ziyi said goodbye, he returned to the barracks.Liu Shiyue had heard a lot about Lin Zixian's legendary deeds of leading troops to fight, and she admired him very much. She also hoped that one day she would be able to go to the battlefield to witness his demeanor with her own eyes.

After days of fighting, everyone was already exhausted. Now that we are taking a break, we can rectify our troops and recuperate. Lin Zixian is relieved, and it is time to let go of the tight string. Although he has been on the battlefield for a long time, he must not be careless in every battle and must be cautious. Treat, the night is coming, the banquet to reward the soldiers has begun, the soldiers have freshened up, at this moment, everyone looks refreshed, many soldiers are wounded, there are no eyesight on the battlefield, and it is a good thing to survive It's not easy, and it's lucky to be injured a little bit, anyway, there is still life.Now that there is a truce, they are naturally very happy.

At the celebration dinner, Lin Zixian summed up the battle, praised some outstanding generals and soldiers, and told the thrilling stories of the battle with the soldiers. Everyone sat around, singing and laughing.There are happy smiles on the dark and rough faces, and hearty laughter from time to time. All the young people, in order to protect their families and the country, endured the pain of separation from their relatives, and came to the battlefield. The smiling faces will disappear in which war in the future, but at the moment they are happy, drinking wine, eating meat, and singing.But the pain in their hearts may not be healed for a long time. Some of the companions who fought side by side did not survive. Those who can still participate in the banquet here today are lucky people. They waited for the day of victory.Their persistence also brought about a compromise from the enemy country. Not long after, the enemy country sent a letter of surrender, willing to rebuild the relationship between the two countries and stop the war.

After a few days, an imperial decree came, proclaiming that General Lin Zixian of Chuwei, who had outstanding military exploits and meritorious service in killing the enemy, returned to the palace to receive a reward.
