Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 150 Asking for Help from Zhongshan Village

After Niu Jin observed the battle situation in Tunzhong, he found that all the Han troops in Zhongshan Tunzhong fled in all directions. Only the central army had hundreds of people assembled, not many.

Therefore, Niu Jin led his soldiers, intending to contain the Han army formation and disperse the Han army that was gathering.

After the soldiers of the Chinese army woke up, they were very flustered, showing all kinds of expressions, some were wearing armor, some were assembled barefoot, some were holding weapons...

Before leaving the tent, Li Xu wanted to defeat the Wei army and take back the gate of the village, but seeing the scattered Han soldiers, he couldn't hold back his voice at all, and the Chinese army was no longer as elite as before.

Therefore, Li Xu changed his mind in an instant, and escaped for his life.Although he abandoned the stronghold and fled, he has a very good relationship with Wei Yan, maybe he will spare his life, if he stays in this stronghold, he will surely die.

Li Xu thought about this, but he didn't care too much. He led the Chinese army in a panic and rushed along a narrow passage to the east of the camp, hoping to escape from the camp.

But when approaching the east gate, suddenly Niu Jin led Wei soldiers to block in front of the east gate.

Li Xu saw Wei soldiers blocking the way to survive, and shouted: "Brothers, go out and seek a way to survive."

After the Han soldiers behind him heard the sound, their desire to survive was instantly aroused. They followed Li Xu and rushed towards the Wei soldiers who blocked their way of life.

The moment the two armies came into contact, the soldiers of both sides crossed each other, the armor shattered, the sword tore the body, and the warm blood dripped onto the wet soil.

Li Xu's bravery was also shown at the critical moment. One of them held a knife and charged forward. Two soldiers of the Wei army raised their spears to stab him.

One inch is long and one inch is strong, and one inch is short and one inch is dangerous!

With a loud shout, Li Xu stepped forward, dodged for a while, stabbed with his spear, and finally stepped sideways to the side of the Wei army soldier, slashed with the long knife in his hand, and slashed away from the Wei army soldier's shoulder obliquely, his arm echoing the sound And it broke, blood spattered, and the soldiers of the Wei army screamed.

Li Xu then strangled the soldier's neck and pushed him forward, pushing him towards another Wei soldier.The soldier of the Wei army couldn't dodge in time, and just about to push away the corpse of his fellow robe, but he felt a chill in his chest, and he couldn't exert his strength no matter what.

The soldier of the Wei army looked down and saw that Li Xu was holding a long knife and stabbing obliquely from the side of the corpse.The long knife pierced through his chest, piercing him completely, and the warm blood was gushing out, covering Li Xu's body with blood.

"mighty!"

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Han army cheered loudly.

"Forward, break through the enemy formation!"

Li Xu grabbed Wei Zu's spear with his right hand, raised the knife with his left hand, and roared hoarsely.

Only by breaking through the Wei army formation blocking their way in front of them can they have a chance of survival.But the Wei army in front of him is firmly rooted in the ground like a rock, no matter how Li Xu and other Han troops attack, the army will not waver.

When Niu Jin was about to join the army, Zhang He, who had just arrived at the east gate, hurriedly stopped him and said, "General Niu will let them live for the time being, and let them make peace with Wei Yan."

Niu Jin was taken aback when he heard the sound, but he regained his comprehension instantly and said with a grin, "No! General Zhang is wise."

Zhang He stroked his beard and smiled. The Han army wanted to escape at this time. If he was forced to stay, it would arouse his heart to break the boat.

One is easy to display the next strategy; the other is that it can make its soldiers lose their fighting spirit because of their success in survival.

For a while, Zhongshantun fell into a stalemate under Zhang Ying's signal, and stopped pressing too much, waiting for Wei Yan to come to help.

Since he was appointed as the prefect of Hanzhong in the 24th year of Jian'an (219), Wei Yan hoped day and night that he would have a chance to show his talents, but things backfired.It was not until the Northern Expedition in the sixth year of Jianxing (228), nearly ten years later, that Wei Yan was able to lead the army in battle.

That's why during this Northern Expedition, Wei Yan did his best, for fear of disappointing the kindness of the late emperor's promotion, he fought hard and did not dare to neglect.Forced to surrender to Nan'an County and repelled Xu Miao, governor of Liangzhou, only then did he feel a little more at ease.

At night, Wei Yan was sleeping peacefully in the camp. His personal guards entered the account and reported that Li Xu's personal guards, Li Lian, asked to see him.

Wei Yan lay on the couch, turned over, closed his eyes and thought that it was late at night, why did Li Xu send someone to see him, could it be that there has been a change in Zhongshan Village!
Wei Yan opened his eyes suddenly, his spirits instantly refreshed, he lifted the felt blanket, rubbed his face again, and shouted loudly: "Order the whole army to be on alert, and order Huang Xi to gather two thousand people, ready to go at any time."

After a pause, Wei Yan continued: "Order Li Lian to pay."

Li Lian hurried into the tent, fell to the ground and wept to report.

"Report to General, the Wei army attacked Zhongshan Village at night, and the soldiers in the village fled. General Li ordered the villain to come to ask for help. I hope the general will send reinforcements quickly."

"What? The Wei army attacked Zhongshantun at night." Wei Yan opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Wei Yan stood up suddenly, stared wide-eyed, and looked at Li Lian who was lying on the ground. He saw that his fiery red military uniform was soaked in mud and water, and was scratched by thorns and branches. Many holes were torn open, and the clothes were covered with mud. .

Wei Yan couldn't help pacing up and down, frowning in thought, Liangzhou Inspector Xu Miao had only four thousand soldiers, and he was a defeated army, how could he dare to attack Zhongshantun with two thousand people at night.

As for Li Lian's identity, Wei Yan has no doubts, Li Lian usually follows Li Xu, and he has seen it many times.

Wei Yan immediately took off the armor hanging on the rack, and while putting it on, he asked, "Do you know the number of Wei soldiers who attacked Zhongshantun at night?"

Having said this, Li Lian bowed his head in shame, and said: "General, the night attack is chaotic. I really don't know the exact number of enemy troops, but judging by the multi-faceted siege, there are no less than a thousand troops. If you look at the general, you can ask my general for help." , my general is fighting to the death."

Sitting on the couch, wearing combat boots, Wei Yan said consolingly, "Wei Jun is cunning, and he was just unprepared for a while. Besides, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, so don't mind. I know Lieutenant Li's hard work and your hard work."

After a pause, Wei Yan got up and stomped his feet involuntarily, put on his pocket guard, combed his protective collar, and asked again: "However, do you know which Wei general came to attack Zhongshan Tun at night?"

Li Lian raised his head and said, "General, it is very strange to attack Wei soldiers at night. I thought they were not soldiers from Liangzhou. The enemy soldiers were well-armored, brave in combat, and well-disciplined. Moreover, there were no Qiang people in the army."

Wei Yan wore a sword around his waist, took off the long lance, and held it in his hand. After hearing the sound, he stopped and said to himself in a low voice: "It must be a soldier from Liangzhou, could it be a soldier from Guanzhong who came to help. They fought fiercely in the Longshan area, why did reinforcements come to Liangzhou at this critical moment?"

"It's so strange!"

But Wei Yan didn't have time to think about it, and said slowly: "I know, you have worked hard to send the letter, and you can rest in Dazhai."

After finishing speaking, Wei Yan raised the curtain and came out, summoned all the generals, and said in a deep voice: "Wei army attacked Zhongshantun at night, Huang Xi followed me to ask for help, you wait in the village, be careful."

"promise!"

Wei Yan took the horse drawn by his personal guards, got on the horse, took the long spear, and led two thousand Han troops to rescue Zhongshantun.
