Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 199
"Why didn't you open the city gate for so long!?" The city gate opened, and Liu Xun rushed in with anger, picked up Jun Cheng by the collar, and roared at him.

"General, this matter is what Zi Yang said, and it has nothing to do with me!" Jun Cheng felt a little wronged, he didn't say this matter, in fact, they haven't made up their mind yet.

"Zi Yang?" Liu Xun turned his head, looked at the young staff, frowned and said, "Why is that so?"

"If you don't open the city gate, the city is here, and the general can live. If you open the city gate, the general will die, and the city will be lost!" The young aide looked at Liu Xun and smiled, "How do you think the general will choose?"

Liu Xun looked at the young general, took a deep breath, turned his gaze to Jun Cheng again, and roared: "You are the Jun Cheng here, you should be the one to make the decision, why do you shirk!?"

Jun Cheng opened his mouth, feeling at a loss for a while, why he still blamed himself.

"General, although the bandit army retreated, our army suffered heavy casualties in this battle. In my opinion, we should strengthen the city defense at this time to prevent the bandit army from attacking." An aide advised.

Liu Xun left Juncheng behind, frowned and looked into the distance. Night had already fallen. Under the dim moonlight, the surrounding area of ​​Shu County was mainly concentrated in the eastward direction. Under the moonlight, it was difficult to distinguish the undisposed corpses. The strong stench made people recall the tragedy of the daytime battle.

For the Lujiang soldiers, it was indeed a bit tragic.

Farther away, you can see the camps erected by the enemy army, and the dots of flames become more eye-catching under the night. If it is usual, Liu Xun will probably send troops to make a surprise attack, but after today's defeat, Liu Xun now However, it is difficult to have any similar thoughts.

Wei Yan has brought him a great psychological shadow today, and the only thing he can think of now is to strengthen the city wall and strengthen the defense.

In Wei Yan's camp, Wei Yan immediately counted the battle damage after returning to the camp. The soldiers he took out had no casualties. On the contrary, Pei Yuanshao lost dozens of soldiers when he intercepted Liu Xun. More.

Pei Yuanshao looked at Wei Yan with some anxiety. This was not the first time he was on a real battlefield. In fact, Pei Yuanshao thought the result was pretty good. After all, when he was on Taipingdao before, it might not be possible to lead tens of thousands of people to fight with hundreds of people. Today's record, now leading thousands of people to intercept the enemy, killing countless enemies, but only losing dozens of people himself, in Pei Yuanshao's view, this is a big victory.

It's just that Wei Yan's gaze was a little dangerous, which made Pei Yuanshao a little breathless, especially because he had a stronger record, fighting more with less, and there were no casualties. , the gap is a bit big.

"General Wei..." After not seeing Wei Yan's scolding for a long time, when Pei Yuanshao looked up, he saw that Wei Yan had already gone to the fire to warm himself up. After hesitating for a while, Pei Yuanshao stepped forward and said, "The general is willing to be punished, so please punish him."

"Today's battle is finally won." Wei Yan threw a wooden branch into the fire, thought for a while and said, "I believe you have tried your best, but you may not be suitable to be my lieutenant general."

On weekdays, Wei Yan actually looked down on the generals under Lu Bu, except for Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, who were they?
But to be honest, these generals are not low in terms of combat skills, especially in terms of cavalry. Compared with them, Pei Yuanshao's ability...not to mention being a lieutenant general, as a military marquis, Wei Yan felt that there was no one in southern Chu. , can only stuff him in.

Pei Yuanshao looked up in astonishment.

"My lord will arrive tomorrow, so you should return to my lord's command." Wei Yan looked at Pei Yuanshao and said.

Wei Yan didn't punish him, which is supposed to be a happy thing, but looking at Wei Yan's appearance that he didn't even want to talk to himself, and thinking about his posture like a god of war today, Pei Yuanshao felt a little unspeakably depressed.

Wei Yue and Zhou Cang scolded him before, but he didn't take it seriously. Wei Yan didn't scold him this time, but it made him feel ashamed. He didn't know why, but he just felt ashamed. Human feelings, especially worried about what to do after seeing Chu Nan tomorrow?
"It's night, you are in charge of the night watch." Seeing that he was not leaving, Wei Yan stood up and said.

"Go, general." Pei Yuanshao hurriedly said, he wanted to restore some of his image, but Wei Yan ignored him, and after a simple explanation, he turned around and went to rest. Although he fought vigorously today, after the battle, he Indeed a little tired.

There was nothing to say all night, Liu Xun didn't come out of the city to attack, Wei Yan didn't intend to attack at night, and the two sides passed a fairly peaceful night in peace.

In the early morning of the next day, with the rising sun, Chu Nan had already brought a large army into the territory of Lujiang. They were said to be the main force, but in fact they only had [-] more troops than Wei Yan. Lu Bu left him [-] troops, but Hefei, Shouchun and other places There must be soldiers and horses stationed, Huang Zhong was also sent out, and there are really not many soldiers and horses he can bring.

"My lord, the last general is incompetent." Pei Yuanshao knelt beside Chu Nan, weeping.

After all, it is a shameful thing to be returned, and I may not be reused in the future.

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in military affairs. If you lack ability, you can make up for it with diligence. I remember General Wei Yue said that you work hard in training." Chu Nan motioned Pei Yuanshao to get up: "One failure is nothing, continue to work hard and strive for the next one." For the first time, the text chief will be impressed."

"Yes, thank you, my lord." Pei Yuanshao recovered from his hesitation and lost heart, and bowed to Chu Nan.

"My lord, in the battle yesterday, Liu Xun may not dare to go out of the city to fight. The last general asks for orders and leads the army to attack the city today." Wei Yan looked at Chu Nan and said.

"A strong attack?" Chu Nan was a little repelled when he heard the words. A strong attack means that casualties are inevitable. It is unwise to waste such a small amount of property on a siege. He looked at Wei Yan and said, "Mr. Wen, our soldiers and horses There are not many at all, the losses from a strong attack will be huge, and it may not be able to break the city, it is not the work of a wise man, is there any other way to break the city?"

"This..." Wei Yan heard this, frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "My lord, I think that Liu Xun has a flamboyant and rebellious personality, but his ability is mediocre."

"In yesterday's battle, I'm afraid he would not dare to leave the city to fight no matter what, tsk..." Chu Nan sighed, this character is indeed a shortcoming, but it is equivalent to having used it yesterday, and was almost beaten to death by Wei Yan. With yesterday's lesson, No matter how flamboyant his temper is today, he probably wouldn't dare to go out of the city to fight.

"My lord, I don't know if these monster ants under your command can help in the battle?" Wei Yan suddenly looked at the two pets on Chu Nan's shoulders. In the battle of Shouchun, the monster ants made a great contribution, hiding a large amount of food and grass in the ground, and the army entered the city Afterwards, the ants quickly sent the grain back to the ground, which not only relieved Shouchun's grain and grass problem, but also became a good omen under Chu Nan's secret propaganda.

With these worm troops, Wei Yanjue's siege was much easier.

"How do you want to use it?" Chu Nan waved his hand, and the monster ant got his order, spread its wings, and flew straight to Wei Yan's head.

"Can we take away its food and grass like in Shouchun?" Wei Yanyan wanted to pluck the demon ant from its head, but the demon ant refused to do it, and in the end he could only let it lie on top of his head.

"After all, there is still consumption. I can't afford the food and grass to feed tens of thousands of people now!" Chu Nan was a little speechless. Although it was simple to break the city in Shouchun, it cost a lot of food and grass to appease the people. Although Shu County is not as good as Shou There are many people in spring, but if every county plays like this, the supply of food and grass will definitely be astronomical, and if this kind of trick is played too much, it will not work.

"Then the general wants to use this ant army to attack the city!" Wei Yan looked at Chu Nan and asked, "Can I have a try?"

This Chu Nan has never been used before, looked at Wei Yan and said, "That's good!"

Anyway, there is nothing to lose, and it is really time to try other possibilities for my own Zerg warfare.

"The last general will do it!" Wei Yan was overjoyed when he saw Chu Nan let go, and asked the demon ants to gather as many of their clan as possible to stand by, while he brought soldiers and horses to fight outside the city of Shu County.

Liu Xun heard Wei Yan yelling and yelling, but he pretended not to hear it. Looking back now, even if Wei Yan didn't lure him out yesterday, he fought hard in the city, and he was probably the loser. The reason why he lured him out , but to hit harder.

He was already feared in the first battle yesterday, and he will not go out of the city to fight today no matter what.

As for Wei Yan's humiliating words, Liu Xun pretended not to hear them.

On the city tower, Juncheng couldn't stand listening anymore, he began to admire Liu Xun a little bit, when he was arrogant, he was arrogant, but when he had to endure, he was able to bear it.

It is impossible to go out of the city to fight. Jun Cheng used a few words to make a fool of himself, trying to make the other party look ugly, but the formation is together, although it is not self-contained, but his words can not be invaded, obviously the opponent is stronger than him. He is much smarter, which makes Juncheng a little depressed.

"Zi Yang, why don't you use methods to teach him to look good?" Seeing that he couldn't embarrass the other party, Jun Cheng looked at the young staff. Although the other party did not major in Confucianism, his aura of arrogance was extremely high, far above him. Hope He can shoot.

The young staff member played with a mechanism lock, his eyes fell on the army formation led by Wei Yanji, and after thinking for a moment, he frowned and said: "The other party doesn't seem to expect the general to fight."

"So what?" Jun Cheng looked at the young staff member puzzled.

"On the battlefield, since you have made a move, you must ask for something. Now you don't expect the general to fight, and you don't have the intention of attacking the city. Why did you come?" The young staff asked with a smile.

"I don't know." Jun Cheng was a little puzzled and said, "Why are you here?"

"It's not a siege, nor is there any intention of fighting. Judging from it, the only thing we want is to consume our army's energy, and there may be a night attack tonight!" The young staff laughed.

"So that's it, I'm going to tell the general!" Jun Cheng was stunned, and immediately went to show his merits to Liu Xun. The young staff didn't care, but just looked in the direction of the other party's camp, subconsciously counting something, and frowned slightly.

"Night attack?" After hearing the news, Liu Xun frowned and looked outside the city, then looked suspiciously at Jun Cheng: "Is this true?"

"Nai Ziyang speculates." Jun Cheng said helplessly.

"So that's how it is." Liu Xun nodded and said, "Since I know he is going to attack at night, I will make him look good tonight!"
