Soldiers come to the world

Not long after the fifteen stallions were swapped out of the warehouse, Feng Yi followed Liu Zheng out of the barracks with a few of his confidantes, and rode straight to the northwest.

Feng Yi secretly wondered, what is Liu Jing looking for at this time?

There is also this young man in front of him, although he does not ride a horse, he runs like flying, and his speed can be compared with that of a war horse. Hearing Cao Yun say that this man is the most powerful scout in Jiang Xia's army, it seems that his reputation is indeed well-deserved.

"Liu Junhou, where are we going?" After walking more than ten miles, Feng Yi finally couldn't help asking.

Liu Zheng didn't ask him any questions. He jumped up onto a big tree, looked around for a moment, pointed to the west, and said, "It's right in front!"

The crowd walked westward for a few miles, and a hidden path appeared in front of them. At this moment, with a whistle, dozens of sentries blocked their way, surrounded them, pointed their crossbows at them, and led The head of the village shouted: "Who are you?"

Liu Zheng stepped forward to salute, took out a command arrow, and said with a smile, "It's me! I'm looking for General Wei!" 1

Jiang Xia's army knew him from top to bottom, and he still had command arrows. The sentinel collected the crossbow arrows and led them to the depths of the woods. Soon, a group of people saw that the path was densely packed with resting soldiers.

Not far away, there was a small tent in an open space. Everyone came to the small tent. The sentry went in to report, and came out quickly: "General Wei invites you to go in."

Feng Yi entered the small tent. The light in the small tent was dim. There was a table in the middle with a map spread out. A burly general was carefully checking the map. Feng Yi knew that the person in front of him was Wei Yan, Liu Jing's general. He stepped forward and bowed to salute: "See General Wei!"

Wei Yan looked up at him, with a smile on his face, stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "We are all from Yiyang!"

The two people's accents are exactly the same, which made Feng Yi feel like a fellow countryman in a foreign country. He also smiled and said, "I'm from Huangqiao Township."

"I know, you and Cao Yun are fellow villagers, and I'm from Muar, you know! It's just east of Huangqiao."

"I know! When I was young, I used to go to Sheri. There was a towering tree there, known as the tree king. It was next to the blacksmith shop. I still remember it very clearly."

Wei Yan chuckled, "The tree king is near my house. At that time, I often fought with the boys from Huangqiao. We are about the same age. Maybe we fought when we were young!"

"Probably!"

The two laughed together, and the relationship immediately became intimate. Wei Yan then pulled him to the table, and tapped the map on the table with his index finger like a radish, "This is Yicheng County, General Feng, I Under the order of the prefect, take Yicheng County tonight."

'Yicheng County! Feng Yi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The families of most of the officers and men of the navy are in Yicheng County. Once a war starts in Yicheng County, Zhang Yun will probably send reinforcements immediately!"

"I know this, and the prefect knows even more. That's why the prefect asked General Feng for help."

"I?"

Feng Yi was startled, his thoughts changed, and he suddenly understood.

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Yicheng County, like Chaisang County, is not the center of the county. There are only two city gates, the East Gate and the West Gate. The East Gate is close to the Hanshui River and is the main gate of Yicheng County.

The West City Gate is an auxiliary gate, connecting with Xiangyang in the north by land. At the same time, the naval camp and Yicheng County are mainly connected through the West City Gate, and the distance is not far, only ten miles away.

There are about 800 defenders in Yicheng County, mainly guarding the two city gates. During the day, the news of the battle between the Jiangxia Army and the Jingzhou Army has spread to Yicheng County, making the atmosphere in Yicheng County tense.

The defense of Yicheng County was in charge of a general, and Cai Yi also rushed to Yicheng County when it was getting dark. He planned to stay in Yicheng County for one night and set off for Xiangyang tomorrow morning.

The night was dark, and it was the beginning of spring at this time. The spring was chilly, and the night wind still carried a chill, which made the defenders on the top of the city shiver. Get warmer too."

"I was dreamed of, and I told you to wrap up in the quilt and go to the city. It's strange if you don't sleep."

"It's good to sleep too! What's going on now?"

"What's the matter? Don't you know that the navy has started a war?"

"It's none of my business to start a war. If you have the ability, give me more money."

Several soldiers were bickering on the top of the city. At this time, there was a sound in the distance, and everyone stopped, looking outside the city. After a while, a Jingzhou army appeared outside the city. There were about a thousand people, and the leader was one of them. The general is none other than Sima Feng Yi.

"Soldiers in the city, listen up. I am Feng Yi, Sima of the other department. I am here to support the defense of the county under the order of Captain Zhang. Open the city gate quickly!"

The head of the station on duty knew Feng Yi, and quickly shouted: "General Feng, wait a moment, I will send someone to report to General Ma immediately!"

Some soldiers rushed to the city tower and rushed to report to Yajiang. The Yajiang who was in charge of guarding Yicheng County was named Ma Zan. He was Zhang Yun’s confidant. Sleeping in the tower, he had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by soldiers.

"General Ma, report something!"

"What's the matter?" Ma Zan asked viciously, he hadn't slept well in the past few days, and he fell asleep and was woken up so easily, which made him very annoyed.

"An army came from the navy, saying it was to reinforce the defense of the county."

Ma Zan sat up suddenly, "Who leads the troops?"

"It's Feng Sima, who brought about a thousand people."

"What is he?"

Ma Zan frowned, he knew that Feng Yi and Chen Shuo were both Cangwu prefect Wu Ju's people, not Zhang Yun's confidantes, Zhang Yun would not usually send him here, but Yang should be sent here first, More importantly, Feng Yi is the Sima of another department, and he is just a general, half a level lower than him. Does the captain want to let himself obey Feng Yi?

Although he was a little dissatisfied and doubtful, he still put on his shoes and walked quickly to the city gate. He looked at the city gate, and it was indeed Feng Yi, followed by more than a thousand soldiers, and asked loudly: "General Feng!" , is there a school captain ordering the arrow?"

Feng Yi took out a Command Arrow, which was imitated by Jiang Xia's Army, and it was exactly the same as the real Command Arrow, and the addition of troops only required the Command Arrow. If it was to change defense, not only the Command Arrow, but also the Soldier Talisman was needed, and only Zhang Yun and Ma Zan knew which Soldier Talisman it was. If there is no such thing, it is difficult to imitate, so increasing troops is much simpler.

A basket was put down in the city, Feng Yi ordered the soldiers to put the arrows into the basket, and the basket was pulled up. In fact, Ma Zan did not suspect that Feng Yi was cheating. He just didn't want Feng Yi to enter the city and become his boss, so he found various reasons. Delayed, but Feng Yi's command arrow was completely correct, and he had no excuses.

Ma Zan laughed dryly and said, "Don't blame General Feng, because I heard that there will be battles on the river in the afternoon, so we should be stricter, it's just a routine."

Feng Yi also smiled and said: "It's okay, the captain was worried that Jiang Xia's army would attack Yicheng County, so he ordered me to increase the defense. Yang Sima was supposed to come over, but he was injured in the afternoon, so Deputy Captain Chen suggested to let I will assist in the defense, General Ma will still be in charge of the defense, and I will only come forward when Jiang Xia's army is attacking the city."

Only then did Ma Zan suddenly understand that it was Chen Shuo who suggested it, no wonder!However, Feng Yi didn't care about the defense, so he finally felt relieved, and ordered the left and right to say: "Kaicheng!"

The hanging money creaked down, and the city gate slowly opened. Although Yicheng County's battle position is important, the strategic fulcrum is the navy, not the county seat, so the county seat is a bit crude, without an urn city, and you can directly enter the county seat through the city gate.

Feng Yi watched the city gate open, and ordered in a low voice, "Enter the city!"

He urged the horses and led the soldiers into the county town slowly. Ma Zan had already left the city and greeted him at the gate of the city. Although he did not welcome Feng Yi's arrival in his heart, he still pretended to be polite on the surface and cupped his hands He smiled and said, "Feng Sima has worked hard!"

Unexpectedly, Feng Yi suddenly turned his face and ordered: "Get arrested!"

Several sergeants around him rushed forward, pushed Mazen to the ground, and put a long knife on his neck. This change was so sudden that everyone was caught off guard. The sudden change made everyone stunned. , Ma Zan was pushed to the ground and shouted: "Feng Yi, what is my crime? Arrest me for peace!"

"You understand it yourself!"

Feng Yi raised another command arrow and shouted at the defenders above and below the city: "Ma Zan, the defender of Yicheng, colluded with Cao Jun in an attempt to betray the Jingzhou Army. The captain has an order to kill without mercy!"

"You fart!"

As soon as Ma Zan uttered a word, the sharp sword slashed down fiercely, and with a scream, Ma Zan's head rolled a foot away, and blood spurted out from his neck. There was no sound, everyone was stunned, did Ma Zan just get slaughtered like this?

Feng Yi immediately ordered, "I will take over the defense of the city, and all soldiers return to the barracks!"

He also secretly ordered his subordinates to arrest Ma Zan's [-] confidants, and none of them were allowed to let go. Soon, Wei Yan led the remaining two thousand people into the city, took over the east gate, and controlled Yicheng County like iron. Like a barrel, no one escaped.

At this time, they got an unexpected harvest. Several soldiers pushed Cai Yi up, who was tied up in a big way, and reported to Wei Yan: "General Wei, this man wanted to escape from the city, but he was caught by his brothers. Son of Cai Mao."

Wei Yan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "Mr. Cai, what a great gift your father sent you!"

Cai Yi poohed bitterly, turned his head away, he was extremely annoyed, he knew that he would not spend the night in Yicheng County.

Feng Yi stepped forward quickly and said with a smile: "General Wei, Yicheng County is completely under control."

"it is good!"

Wei Yan nodded, then it was time to take the next step, and he immediately ordered, "Light the beacon fire for help!"

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

The Jingzhou navy camp was very quiet. At this time, the first watch had passed and most of the soldiers had fallen asleep, but Zhang Yun couldn't rest. Jiang Xia's warship was still staring at the water village on the river. will attack.

All kinds of worries weighed on Zhang Yun's heart like a heavy weight, making him restless. He has urgently written a letter for help and ordered people to rush to Xiangyang overnight.

Zhang Yun was fidgeting, walked out of the big tent from time to time, looked towards the direction of the Yangtze River, and estimated the movements of Jiang Xia's army in his heart. Yicheng County Beacon!"

As soon as Zhang Yun turned his head, he saw a beacon burning in Yicheng County in the distance. This was calling for help when he was in danger. Zhang Yun was taken aback. Is Yicheng County in danger?Why didn't Ma Zan send anyone?

Zhang Yun was in a state of confusion, most of the families of the officers and men of the navy were in Yicheng County, if Yicheng County fell, the blow to the morale of the army would be unimaginable, he paced back and forth anxiously.

At this moment, several sentries came running with a wounded soldier. The wounded soldier held up the Jade Leopard Soldier Talisman, knelt on the ground and panted, "Report to the captain, 3000 Jiangxia troops are besieging Yicheng County. General Ma and Cai The young master is desperately guarding, almost unable to support, General Ma begged the school lieutenant for immediate support."

Zhang Yun took half of the Jade Leopard Soldier Talisman, which was the one he gave to Ma Zan, and he asked anxiously, "Why is Mr. Cai in Yicheng County?"

"Mr. Cai was only resting for one night. He was on his way tomorrow morning. Unexpectedly, he was surrounded in the county town. He also begged the captain for support."

Speaking of this, the soldier took out another dagger, "This is the son who asked me to give it to the captain."

Zhang Yun knew this dagger, and it was indeed Cai Yi's personal dagger. Cai Yi was the eldest son of Cai Mao, the next generation head of the Cai family, and his status was extraordinary.

Zhang Yun didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately ordered: "Hurry up and gather five thousand troops!"

At this moment, Chen Shuo limped over and asked, "Captain, is something wrong in Yicheng County?"

Zhang Yun nodded, and said irritably: "Ma Zan sent someone to report that three thousand Jiangxia are besieging Yicheng County, and Mr. Cai is also in the county."

Chen Shuo turned pale with shock, "Lieutenant, if Yicheng County is lost, and Jiang Xia's troops come to cry and cry, the morale of the army will collapse immediately, and they must not be lost. Why not lead the army to rescue?"

Zhang Yun saw that he was injured on his leg and couldn't ride a horse, and his head looked seriously injured, so he shook his head, "You can't march in a hurry, I'd better go to the rescue myself! You are in charge of guarding the barracks."

Chen Shuo immediately agreed, "This subordinate obeys the order!"

A quarter of an hour later, five thousand troops were ready to line up. Zhang Yun also rode on his horse, holding a spear and wearing armor and helmet. He stared murderously at Yicheng County ten miles away. At this time, a general rushed to report: "Qi Captain, the army has assembled!"

"Attack!"

Zhang Yun gave an evil order, urged the horse to go, and led five thousand troops to rush to Yicheng County.

Chen Shuo watched them walk away, and a sneer appeared on his face. According to Liu Jing's plan, he would lead the troops to Yicheng County, and then pretended to be ambushed halfway, and then asked Zhang Yun for help. It couldn't be better to lead the soldiers.

Chen Shuo waited for Zhang Yun's army to disappear a mile away, then his expression changed, and he ordered coldly, "Pass in my order, all officers above the village chief will come to the central army tent to discuss the defense plan."

He then whispered to his confidant general: "After the officers are in the account, you can lead a thousand brothers to surround the Chinese army's account, and no one is allowed to escape."

"Follow the order!"

Chen Shuo smiled triumphantly, he gave this great gift, Liu Jing should thank him well no matter what.
