Cangzhou beacon fire

Chapter 38
To the south of the Sanyuan Camp, Zhong Yao and Wang Le led the remaining 4000 Yue troops galloping towards the Sanyuan Camp. What surprised Zhong Yao and Wang Le was that Xiao Yuhang and his servant Xiao Qi also insisted To go out with the army.

Despite Zhong Yao's persuasion last night, Xiao Yuhang still persisted.In desperation, Zhong Yao equipped them with good horses, and appointed Xiang Zheng and several golden feather riders to carefully protect Xiao Yuhang and Xiao Qi. After all, they are the great benefactors of Yue Jun.

Zhong Yao looked at Xiao Yuhang who was sitting steadily on the horse behind him, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Xiao is not bad at equestrian skills."

Xiao Yuhang smiled slightly, and replied: "Riding is a skill that Qiren has learned since he was a child. Xiao has seldom practiced it since he lost his eyesight."

Zhong Yao knew that Xiao Yuhang's words were true. His father Zhong Lin mentioned that everyone in Qi is a cavalry soldier. Once a battle starts, the old and young, women and children can fight on horseback. This is also the reason why Qi has been able to dominate the mainland for many years.

"General Wang, you lead [-] cavalry and rush to the east of the Sanyuan camp to prevent Yan Yu from asking for help from Baishui City. We don't have much time, and within half an hour, Li Ao will definitely find something strange in the camp. "Zhong Yao looked at Wang Le behind and roared loudly.

"Yes! You, you, come with me, hurry up!" Wang Le received the order and dispatched a troop to the east at a very high speed.

"The whole army speeds up, take the Sanyuan camp as soon as possible!" Zhong Yao's order came out, and all the Yue troops sped up and ran wildly, and at the same time, the shouts of killing sounded immediately.

In the camp, Yan Yu looked at the approaching Yue Jun in panic, and shouted: "Bang the drum! Tell Leo to retreat! Hurry up!"

But the sound of the drum did not move for a long time. He looked back angrily, and saw that the place where the snare drum was originally placed in the center of the camp was empty. Only then did he remember that the drum band had been brought by Leo to attack the city.

"Send scouts! Go to Baishui City for help, hurry up!"

However, as soon as the three horses left the east gate of the camp, they were shot down by a wave of arrows.

The flag bearer of the watchtower also waved the blue flag at this time, indicating that the east gate has been blocked by the Yue army.

A lieutenant ran over anxiously, and said in a panic, "General Yan, it's the Golden Feather Cavalry who are here. Our camp has only 2000 troops, and we can't stop them. We're behind, and you retreat from the west gate!"

Yan Yu's eyes were filled with anger, and he slapped the officer severely: "Retreat? I, Yan Yu, will not be a fleeing general! At worst, I will die!"

"General Yan, the overall situation is the most important thing. If you have any accidents, the Sanyuan Army will really be without a leader!" The lieutenant begged bitterly.

"Don't talk nonsense! I, Yan, can't afford to lose this man! Order, stick to it! As long as Li Ao returns to the army, they can be wiped out in one fell swoop!" Yan Yu drew out his sword, stepped on his horse, and said sharply.

The three yuan and two thousand defenders have already set up a posture at the camp gate. Looking at the dust and smoke billowing in front of them, the soldiers of Sanyuan are all nervous. Yan Yu has to admire the strategy of the Yue army, as if there is an inner ghost in his army, and every step is blocked. Yue Jun has made a plan, and now he has abandoned the city to seize the camp. Yan Yu has always felt very familiar with this continuous strategy, but at this time he has no time to think about it. Although Yue Jun has a better strategy, he still has absolute confidence As long as these thousands of troops are held back, once Li Ao's army returns to help, they will only have a dead end.

"Golden Feather Cavalry? I, Yan Yu, want to see how powerful it is!" Yan Yu thought of Qi Sheng, the majestic Sanyuan Zuo General who was defeated by the Golden Feather Cavalry, and his stubbornness suddenly rose.

Confidence is a good thing, but confidence that exceeds one's ability can only bring about destruction.

The [-] Sanyuan defenders were as fragile as thin paper in front of the gold and iron horses ridden by Jin Yu. Zhong Yao took the lead, leaped and charged, and several Sanyuan soldiers died tragically in front of the horses. Many Sanyuan soldiers became ghosts under the sword.

With only one charge, the Sanyuan Army was defeated.

In the camp, Yan Yu's original confident expression disappeared instantly, and what he got in exchange was a face of horror and disbelief, which was no less powerful than the Thirteenth Cavalry Battalion of Luo Kingdom.

The deputy general of Sanyuan rushed to Yan Yu again: "General, if you don't leave, it will be too late!"

Yan Yu withdrew his frightened expression, and said resolutely: "The big deal is death, I will never leave!"

The lieutenant was nervous and at a loss. In the end, there was nothing he could do. He yelled at the guards around Yan Yu: "What are you doing standing there! Take the general and go!"

The guards already had the idea of ​​letting Yan Yu evacuate, but being yelled at by the lieutenant general was reassuring, and the guard on the left snatched Yan Yu's horse rope.

"What are you doing! Let me go! I, Yan Yu, will not be a fugitive!" However, all the guards didn't care what Yan Yu said at this time, and surrounded Yan Yu to escape to the west gate.

The battle of attacking the camp took less than half an hour, and Zhong Yao was on the rise. At this time, Wang Le came to report: "Young General, Yan Yu has escaped!"

"This old man can't run away, Xiang Zheng takes your first battalion and chases after me!"

At this moment, Xiao Yuhang came to Zhong Yao's back and reminded: "Young General Zhong, I'm afraid you forgot the agreement with Xiao?"

Zhong Yao was alerted by Xiao Yuhang's reminder, and turned back with a little apology, "I'm so sorry." Then he said to Lan Tian and Xiang Zheng: "Don't chase after me, come back to me."

"Zhong Yao lost his composure, don't blame Mr. Xiao." Zhong Yao respectfully cupped his fists towards Xiao Yuhang in apology.Xiao Yuhang approached Zhong Yao last night and made his own request, that is, once the plan is completed, let Yan Yu go, Zhong Yao readily agreed.

Xiao Yuhang didn't mean to blame, and said: "It's normal to rise up before the battle. The major general doesn't need to apologize to Xiao. Right now, we should deal with the food, grass and luggage first. Li Ao will turn back immediately when he finds an empty city."

When Zhong Yao and Xiao Yuhang left, Wang Le, who had been silent at the side, sighed, and Xiang Zheng came over curiously.

"Brother Wang, why do you do this? Isn't it just that you have caught fewer people?"

Wang Le looked at Xiang Zheng, thinking that this child is really simple, and said: "That is the highest general of Sanyuan, I don't know why the young general let him go like this."

Xiang Zheng looked at the direction where Yan Yu was escaping in the distance, and said with a sly smile: "Brother Yao promised that person last night, the plan was successful, and Yan Yu will not be arrested. This is a secret agreement, and most people don't know about it."

Upon hearing Xiang Zheng's words, Wang Lemao suddenly realized, yes!The other generals don't know either.

Immediately, he greeted a lieutenant general and said in a low voice: "You immediately send three hundred elite cavalry to pursue Yan Yu, and don't let Major General Zhong know."

The lieutenant nodded and turned to leave.

Not long after, the granaries, barracks, and stables in the Sanyuan camp were all set ablaze by the Yue army, billowing thick smoke rose slowly, and even the flag of the Marshal in the center of the camp was chopped down by Xiang Zheng.

Xiao Yuhang faced the west, which was the direction of Yan Yu's escape, and said with a little disappointment: "Yan Yu, Yan Yu, after all these years, you still haven't made any progress."

Just as the generals set fire to all the three-yuan food and grass, the blue sky outside the camp flew from the east of the camp.

"Brother Yao! It's not good! Leo's army is coming back to help!"

Zhong Yao couldn't help being taken aback by Lan Tian's words, why is this Li Ao's army so fast?
But at this moment, he had no time to think about it. He said to Wang Le, Xiang Zheng and other generals: "The whole army, withdraw from the south gate. If they are stopped in the camp, they will really be a turtle in the urn!"

Outside the east side of the camp, Li Ao led an army of [-] madly towards the Sanyuan camp. As the general of Sanyuan, Yan Yu was also the most favored subject of the king. If anything happened to him, all the generals would be afraid buried.

Looking at the black smoke rising repeatedly from his camp, Li Ao's face was already distorted with anger, and he yelled ferociously: "Yue Jun! You played my Li Ao so badly, this time I must let you There is no place to die! The army speeds up for me!"

On the other side, Yan Yu and the guards were running for their lives. The guards surrounded Yan Yu in a semicircle, and sharp arrows came from behind them. From time to time, one or two guards fell from the horse.

For the [-]-year-old army behind him, the one in front of him is the highest commander of the Sanyuan army. Once he is caught, his military merit will be multiplied several times. This is a great temptation.

Despite being protected by the guards, there was still an arrow that slipped through the net. A sharp arrow passed through the guards and nailed Yan Yu's left back shoulder heavily, causing blood to protrude immediately.

Yan Yu had a painful expression on his face, but he still gritted his teeth and endured without making any screams.

Just as the Yue army was getting closer and closer, dust and smoke billowed from the north, accompanied by the sound of Taotao's horseshoes.

"Reinforcement! General! It's our reinforcement!" The guard first saw the three-character flag of the northern army, and reminded Yan Yu as if seeing the dawn.

Enduring the severe pain in his shoulder, Yan Yu said, "Send a signal to the reinforcements."

There are about [-] Sanyuan reinforcements in the north, and the leader has a broad face and strong body, showing arrogance. He holds a long spear with a silver handle in his hand. It is Zhu Rao, who is known as the White Electric Dragon Spear.

And the two people beside him, the one on the left is Pang Baichuan, and the one on the right is Pang Jiu who has just been transferred to the new army.

At this time, Zhu Rao also noticed that there was a group of Yue troops chasing his own troops in front of him. He looked back at Pang Baichuan and said, "The staff slows down, let's clean up the Yue troops first."

Pang Baichuan nodded, and drove his horse out of the ranks of Zhu Rao's troops, and then Zhu Rao shouted sharply: "See if the Yue army is there, kill them all!"

As soon as an order was issued, a group of three-yuan cavalry responded in unison, and the shouts of killing immediately shook the sky.

　No one is watching... Should I stop...
