Ji Han Liu Zhang
Chapter 434 Don’t Shoot
"happy."
In the wilderness, with the cold wind blowing, Qiang Hu leader Qu Shuai, who was hiding in the darkness, burned his weapon. He saw the second group of Shu soldiers who wanted to touch the city wall and pick up the arrows scattered in front of the city wall being shot like hedgehogs. In addition, the wailing of the Shu soldiers was endless. He clapped his hands happily.
Soon, Shao Ge saw a boiling and noisy sound coming from the Shu army on the top of Lueyang City. The figures on the top of the city were mixed and chaotic. The second batch of Shu troops who had let go of the city wall were pulled back to the top of the city.
Seeing that things were developing as Yan Xing said, Shao Ge turned around and looked at Yan Xing with such respect and enthusiasm. He said in a submissive tone: "General Yan's wisdom is comparable to that of Zhang Zifang, the Marquis of Liu in the early Han Dynasty."
The Qiang and Hu people in Liangzhou lived together with the Han people. Over time, they learned the Han classics and knew the history of the Han Dynasty. As the leader of the group, Shao Ge was the best among them. Therefore, when he praised Yan Xing, he quoted Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Liu, to express his respect for Yan Xing's wisdom.
Hearing Shao Ge's boasting, Yan Xing kept a calm expression, but he was happy in his heart. After all, few people don't like to hear good words. And the reason why Yan Xing deliberately put on a calm expression was to show that he was steady.
"General Yan, even if the Shu army is attacked by us again, they will learn from their mistakes and will not send soldiers out to pick up arrows. Should we go back now?"
It was already late at night. After waiting here for two waves of Shu troops, Shao Ge felt that his contribution was enough and that the Shu army would not dare to take any more actions. It was time for them to go back and have a good sleep to relax their tired bodies.
"Do not."
Shao Ge was stunned when he heard this. He had never expected that Yan Xing rejected his proposal. He looked at Yan Xing with a puzzled look on his face.
After Yan Xing denied it, he said confidently, "What the commander said does make sense, but it just so happens that the Shu army also thinks so."
As Shao Ge looked increasingly puzzled, Yan Xing spoke calmly, "After two setbacks, we will think that the Shu army dare not make any more moves. The Shu army will also think so, that we will stop while we are ahead, and that we will think that the Shu army dare not go again, and then the Shu army will send a third batch of people out of the city."
Like a chef making lasagna, Yan Xing analyzed it layer by layer. Finally, he thought that there was a possibility that the Shu army would send out troops for a third time, and planned to wait for another wave.
Shao Ge was a little confused when he heard Yan Xing's words. After thinking for a while, his eyes became brighter and brighter. He clapped his hands and praised: "After listening to General Yan's words, I finally know what wisdom and strategy are."
If it weren't for his identity as the leader of the Qiang and Hu tribe, and the fact that Yan Xing might not accept him as his disciple, Shao Ge would have felt an urge to kneel down on the ground, worship Yan Xing as his teacher, and learn his strategies.
At the moment, Shao Ge was indeed expressing his admiration for Yan Xing's wisdom.
"Sound the horn but don't withdraw the troops." Once again, Yan Xing summoned the flag officer and issued the same order as before.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of the horn was sounded, but the archers under Yan Xing's command stayed where they were, waiting for the third wave of Shu troops to leave the city.
"Bang, bang, bang." Shao Ge held his breath and focused his eyes and energy on the top of Lueyang City. It was so quiet at that moment that he seemed to hear his own heartbeat.
Although he agreed with Yan Xing's analysis, Shao Ge was still not sure whether there would be a third wave of Shu troops. He was looking forward to the appearance of the third wave of Shu troops and his attention was focused to the extreme.
Like Shao Ge, Yan Xing also set his sights on the city wall of Lueyang. Although he was full of confidence in what he said to Shao Ge just now, he was still somewhat nervous in his heart, unsure whether the third wave of Shu troops would really appear.
"The Shu army's commander Gan Ning is a smart man. He will most likely send out a third wave of Shu troops."
Yan Xing gave himself some reassurance. From a psychological perspective, he believed that Gan Ning had sent out the second wave of Shu troops, which showed that Gan Ning was a smart man.
If Gan Ning was a smart man, he would have thought that he would definitely leave this time, so Gan Ning would send out a third wave of Shu soldiers to pick up arrows. Time passed by minute by minute, and Yan Xing and Shao Ge stared at the top of Lueyang City. As they waited, baskets after baskets carrying Shu soldiers began to descend from the top of Lueyang City.
Shao Ge opened his eyes wide, his pupils were round to the extreme, and he dared not blink. He couldn't believe it. Just as Yan Xing said, the Shu army in Lueyang City sent out the third wave of troops.
"Shu..." After a moment, Shao Ge pointed at the Shu soldiers descending from the top of Lueyang City with the idea of sharing his joy and wanted to say something to Yan Xing, but he quickly reacted and shut his mouth.
The Shu army on the top of Lueyang City has just descended from the top of the city. If he speaks out at this time, the Shu army may be on guard and will not continue to descend.
They needed to wait until the Shu army leaving the city was stuck in the middle of the city wall, unable to go up or down, so that they could inflict the greatest damage to the Shu army.
As it was, Shao Ge kept his mouth shut, waiting for the Shu army to land midway over the city wall and fall into the death trap they had woven.
The Shu army moved quickly. Soon, the third wave of Shu troops leaving the city landed mid-air above the Lueyang city wall.
"Shoot, shoot hard." Yan Xing seized the opportunity and issued an attack order when the Shu army was stuck in mid-air against the wall of Lueyang.
What followed was a repeated scene: the Shu soldiers hanging in the middle of the city wall let out screams, and the Shu soldiers on the top of the city wall panicked and tried frantically to pull their comrades back to the top of the city wall.
Not long after, when the movement on the top of Lueyang City stopped, Shao Ge spoke up, but this time, he no longer asked to return to the camp, but planned to stay: "General Yan, should we stay and wait a little longer to see if the Shu army will send a fourth wave of troops out of the city."
Yan Xing nodded. Although he shot and killed three waves of Shu troops leaving the city, the credit was enough for him, but he still wanted to get more credit. He planned to wait and see if there was a fourth wave of Shu troops leaving the city.
Although Yan Xing thought that there was little hope for the fourth wave of Shu troops to leave the city, after all, three times the limit would prevail. Gan Ning, the Shu general in Lueyang City, had suffered three losses, so he would not stumble four times in the same place.
However, the development of things went against Yan Xing's idea. After waiting for a while, he saw the fourth wave of Shu troops leaving the city with a look of surprise.
Yan Xing waved his hand, ordering his archers to shoot arrows, and then a wave of scenes from before were replicated.
Then after waiting for a while, the fifth wave of Shu troops began to leave the city. This time Yan Xing was no longer surprised, but looked suspicious. However, although he had doubts in his heart, he still ordered his archers to shoot.
It was another wave of reenactments of the previous scenes.
When the sixth wave of Shu troops left the city, Yan Xing's archers drew their bows and shot arrows without waiting for orders. However, the delayed order from Yan Xing was not to shoot, but to say, "Stop shooting, stop shooting."
After stopping his archers from shooting arrows, Yan Xing took a bow, put an arrow on it, wrapped the arrowhead with a cloth strip, poured tung oil on it, lit it, and shot it towards the Shu army halfway over the city wall.
Yan Xing, who was skilled in archery and horse riding, hit the Shu soldier hanging in the air above the city wall with one strike. Then, the 'Shu soldier' was ignited by the rocket and his whole body was ablaze in an instant.
The human-shaped flames of the 'Shu Army' burning were imprinted in Yan Xing's eyes, causing him to be stunned.
I fell into the trap. (End of this chapter)
