Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1551 Sound North Strikes South

  For the darkness, perhaps the fear engraved in the genes, or the melatonin secretion of the pituitary gland, most human beings are more cautious than during the day, and they dare not rush into the thick and qualitative night at will.

The torches left on the ground struggled a few times, and soon succumbed to the double attack of the piercing night wind and the icy ground. They flinched from the flames, and some simply whimpered, turned into a plume of black smoke, and disappeared. .

  Deng Xian retreated back within the protection range of his own bow and arrow without saying a word, and he took a breath of relief. Deng Xian has no fear in dealing with the scorpions. No matter how many smugglers there are, after killing a few people and setting a few fires, it is extremely rare for the smugglers to still be able to resist fighting. Most of the smugglers will run away , so basically there is no pressure, but the arrows and crossbows shooting out of the darkness let Deng Xian understand that under the city of Yufu, there are not only the people, but also the soldiers of Zhengxi!

  Only the pawns of Zhengxi have such a sharp weapon configuration!

   It's not that our army is incompetent, but that the enemy army is too strong...

   So, what now?

  Deng Xian looked up at the Yufu city wall, and at Meng Da on the city wall.

  On the city wall, Meng Da was a little hesitant, terrified, and had no time to pay attention to Deng Xian's raised face.

  The soldiers and horses who conquered the West actually came to Yufu? Why is there no news? How did it come about? Where did it come from? What are you doing here? Has An Han already fallen? What about Kawanaka? Could it be that Liu Bei and Liu Xuande can't stop Zhengxi?

All kinds of questions that burst out suddenly were like thunderbolts one after another, exploding in Meng Da's mind, making Meng Da feel that the whole world was shaking a little, and he could only support the battlements of the city wall, In order to keep your body shape from collapsing.

   "Boom!"

  In the night, suddenly there was a flash of fire!

  A tri-color flag proudly raised his head in the flames. Under the flag, Wei Yan raised his saber and shouted loudly: "Seize the city!"

"Oh! Oh! Grab the city! Grab the city!" There seemed to be countless people roaring, mixed with weapons slapping each other, and the sound of hitting the ground sounded together, like a raging wave, crashing against Yufu's city wall Going up, let Yufu go up to Meng Da, down to ordinary soldiers, all of them could not help but shrink back slightly, their faces turning pale.

Deng Xian at the bottom of the city was even more unbearable. After being shot to death by a bunch of random arrows, he saw such a formation again. He almost cried in fright, and rushed back with a cry, "Zhengxi is going to attack the city! West is about to attack the city! Where is the rope! Quick! Throw the rope down! Quickly pull me up!"

   "Let the arrows! Let the arrows!" Meng Da shouted loudly, "Archers, let the arrows!"

Yufu County has not been considered a big county for a long time, so there were not many soldiers and horses stationed in the city. Before Liu Qi Kuai Qi and others were there, it was somewhat better. Now there is only Meng Da here, so naturally courage is accompanied by him. The reduction in the number of soldiers has declined a lot.

  Although such things as robbing the city in the middle of the night are a bit absurd to talk about seriously, what is even more absurd is that even Zhengxi's troops have appeared here without knowing it. What else can Zhengxi not do?

   Arrows fell like chaotic rain.

  Wei Yan and the others were basically within an arrow's reach, coupled with the strong night wind, most of the arrows were blown crooked when they reached the end, and fell to the ground weakly, naturally without any damage.

Wei Yan laughed loudly. Under the light of the torches and under the three-color flag, he raised his saber high and pointed at Meng Da on his head. Although Wei Yan didn't recognize Meng Da, judging by the guards and the flag, Somehow guessed that this was Yu Fu's guard, and he shouted loudly: "That man! Do you dare to fight?!"

   Nima is a man! Nima's family is all husbands! Meng Da's face was pale and green in anger, and he didn't want to scold Wei Yan, so he just raised his hand and ordered, "Shoot! Shoot with all your strength!"

  Yufu archers rushed to the battlements and lobbed in Wei Yan's direction with all their strength.

  Wei Yan laughed a few times, then curled his lips and ordered in a low voice: "It's taken, it's all taken, and I'm going to change places..."

  The torch in the dark night was extinguished again.

   This is the first moment of Yin Shi, and it is also the darkest time before dawn. After the torches were extinguished, all the soldiers on Yufu City lost their target, shot a few arrows in a daze, and stopped at the same time.

  Deng Xianzheng was halfway up the climb, hanging in mid-air, unable to get up or down, not knowing whether he should continue to go up, or go down to do some reconnaissance...

  Meng Da turned his head, as if he had only discovered Deng Xian and other soldiers at this time, he was furious: "Gua Wazi! Get down! Get down! Show me what Zheng Xi is doing!"

Deng Xian was helpless, slipped down the city wall again, then picked up the shield he dropped before, put it in front of himself, greeted him, gathered some people, and slowly crossed the suspension bridge again, towards the place where the fire was extinguished touch it.

   "Be careful!" Deng Xian rolled his eyeballs nervously, looking around, cursing inwardly, not only Meng Da, but also which team should have outflanked. I don't know if that team was also disabled or frightened. Anyway, there has been no movement and no one to see. As a result, the pressure is all on Deng Xian.

   "Ah!"

In the midst of the black lights, I don't know who stepped on what, or was shot by a cold arrow, and fell to the ground with a bang, Deng Xian was so frightened that he trembled, and then he realized that it was only the one who fell, and the lingering In the cold wind, there was no sound that frightened him.

so far so good…

   "Be on guard...be careful..." Deng Xian bowed his back and moved forward in small steps. If one looks forward from behind, Deng Xian's posture at this moment looks like a lame duck.

   "Aw! Aww!"

  Suddenly, several Yufu soldiers fell down with a scream. Immediately afterwards, a few more people fell down, and the entire formation suddenly became a little chaotic again.

   "Damn it! It's caltrops! There are caltrops on the ground!"

   "Watch out where you step!"

   "Don't step on the caltrops!"

  Suddenly in the queue, the soldiers of Yufu shouted loudly.

  Deng Xian was about to issue an order for the soldiers to use their blades to strike the ground to clean up the caltrops, but suddenly they heard some frightening sounds in the night wind...

   "Boom, boom boom..."

Although there was no light from the fire, but in the dark night screaming again and again, the extremely noisy soldiers of the fish and soldiers erected a huge target invisibly, and suddenly attracted a group of arrows and crossbows from the darkness, whistling, mixed In the night wind, a sudden attack came!

   "Get down!" Deng Xian quickly lay down on the ground, and once again covered his head with a shield, "Stop yelling! Damn it, shut up! Stop arguing!"

Arrows came from the darkness along with the sound. Although many of them missed, some of them hit the Yufu soldiers, and a blood mist was stirred up, making the scene even more chaotic. Even though Deng Xian issued the correct order, but still couldn't control the scene immediately.

  One after another, the Yufu soldiers who stood stupidly fell down one after another, the dead ones naturally kept silent, and the not dead ones hummed silently, adding a bit of misery in the dark night.

  In the darkness in the distance, it seems that calm has been restored again, as if those frightening and life-threatening arrows and crossbows have never appeared before.

Deng Xian snorted, and lay still on his stomach. After narrowly escaping two rounds of arrow raids, Deng Xian also lost the courage to move forward after two rounds of narrow escapes. He looked at the sky, and seemed a little It’s gray and black, it’s a light color, let’s count the ball, wait, wait until the sky is brighter, anyway, now I can’t say anything, even if the old uncle is here, it won’t work...

Meng Da on the Yufu city wall was also very helpless. He turned his head and looked, feeling that the sky would be bright. Since he did not see Zhengxi troops approaching the city, he would guard the city wall and wait for the dawn. Anyway, it would take less than an hour Already...

  At this moment, Wei Yan and his men are rushing to Yuanshiwan outside Yufu City, beside the Han River.

The elite soldiers of Zhengxi also silently followed behind Wei Yan and rushed forward. Although their feet were wrapped in a layer of sackcloth, the sound of footsteps could not be completely eliminated during the rapid movement, and occasionally the armor collided with each other. It formed a low but tense track, which sounded heavily when the dawn was approaching.

"Aha..." Du Hu followed Wei Yan and said in a low voice. His voice was full of excitement and pride. After all, at the beginning, there was also the contribution of others. Although it was just holding a torch, It's also a credit, isn't it, "General Wei, it's amazing! This battle can be fought like this! If General Zhengxi knows about this, I will probably admire the general..."

Wei Yan laughed in a low voice, shook his head, saying that it was not his own initiative, but he was still a little proud: "Haha, this method is something I learned from the battle examples in the martial arts hall, so it cannot be regarded as mine... Yu Fu I don't think they dare to chase these **** out..."

   "That's because the general fought well..." Du Hu emphasized again, and then said, "...Are we going to burn the ship now?"

  Wei Yan shook his head and said, "It can't be burned. Are you going to climb the mountain again?"

   "Ah?" Du Hu was stunned for a moment, then immediately took two steps down, hurriedly speeding up to catch up, and said, "If we don't burn the boat, it's impossible...we..."

  Wei Yan smiled and said, "You guessed right! Let's go back by boat!"

   "Huh? But, most of my people can't sail a boat!" Duhu said eagerly.

   Wei Yan was also taken aback for a moment, and then continued to move forward, "No? Then we can only learn quickly...follow us, what we do, what you do..."

   "How can I learn it in such a short time!" Du Hu shouted.

"As soon as the day breaks, our troops will no longer be able to cover us!" Wei Yan continued to move forward without stopping, "Our soldiers' rations are almost exhausted, if we go back on the mountain road, we will starve to death on the way ! Riding a boat is the only way to survive! It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to sail a boat, just learn! Take your life to learn! If you want to survive, learn quickly!”

   "It's not...that..." Du Hu wanted to say something, but found that he didn't know what to say for a while, so he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and followed Wei Yan.

  In Wei Yan's original plan, he did not intend to attack Yufu City. His initial target was the ships in Yuanshiwan. As long as he captured these ships, the threat to Nanchong and Langzhong would naturally be lifted.

At the same time, even though most of the soldiers who conquered the west can be called the elite of this era, they are still mortal bodies, and they still have to eat, drink, and scatter. If they don’t go back by boat, even if their physical strength and food are exhausted, Wei Yan has the ability to reach the sky, so he may not be able to bring his soldiers back alive!

Hanzhong, of course, has a section of the Hanshui River. The Jingxiang caravan can also take a boat to Shangyong. In addition, Wei Yan himself came to Hanzhong with the Jingxiang people. Naturally, some of his men know how to maneuver the boat. People, just like what Wei Yan said, at this moment, they have to take their lives to learn. Those who learn naturally have their lives, but those who can't learn...

   Yuanshiwan water village.

  After Liu Qi and Kuai Qi left, there was only one military marquis belonging to Jingxiang left here, with four or five hundred people stationed here. And because these naval forces have always been under the jurisdiction of Liu Qi's side, the connection with Yufu's side is not close, and there is no relationship between upper and lower levels.

  Therefore, even though some noises from Yufu's side were heard in the Yuanshiwan water village, the gates in the water village were still closed, and there was no intention of sending soldiers out to support Yufu County.

  As the sound of the fish fell silent, the only commotion in the Yuanshiwan water village also fell silent.

  Looking at it like this, it’s probably a leak? No matter, let's talk at dawn. The military marquis who stayed in the water village thought so, seeing that there was nothing going on around, he gave an order to put the soldiers on alert, and staggered back to sleep.

  When the sky is approaching, it is often the most difficult time for the human body. On the two sentry towers facing out from the water village, the soldiers on duty fought desperately with their drooping eyelids, losing and winning at times. Of course, when they lost more and more, their heads grew more get heavy...

  Wei Yan's soldiers rushed out of the darkness and approached the wall of the water village.

  The burning torches on the sentry tower revealed the silhouettes of several soldiers on duty.

   The soldiers on duty on the sentry tower were shaking, and when they noticed that some figures in the field of vision were also shaking, their nerves were blown in the cold wind in the middle of the night, and they couldn't reflect it for a while!

  More than 20 Zhengxi crossbowmen were divided into two teams, and they rushed forward without saying a word, took aim, and shot!

Although these strong crossbowmen are not as accurate as Ling Jie's elite scouts, they have the ability of accurate long-range shooting, but the lack of quality is made up for by quantity. There are more than ten crossbow bolts on each sentry tower. Under the care, even if some shooters shot crookedly, others still shot. Suddenly, sawdust flew across the sentry tower of the water village, and blood rushed!

   "Open the gate of the village!" Wei Yan yelled, and ordered people to bury the only remaining gunpowder at the gate of the water village, "Don't love to fight! Grab the boat! Grab the boat! Let's go home!"

   "Boom!"

  The door of the water village was blasted open a gap, large and small pieces of wood and sawdust collapsed and flew amidst the flames and smoke.

Wei Yan rushed in along the gap with his soldiers, and headed straight for the place where the boat was parked. Several soldiers from the water village who were not fully awake came out of the tent, and were cut by Wei Yan with two knives. went back.

   "Cut the cable!" Wei Yan commanded, "Don't love to fight! Get on the boat after setting off the fire! King of the King, let your people follow suit!"

Fortunately, although the people were in a hurry and somewhat chaotic, the soldiers left behind in the water village were even more disorderly. They all rushed onto the boat and began to ram and burn other boats. When the people barely pushed the boat away from the shore, they regrouped and chased after them.

  When people are struggling to survive, their unleashed potential cannot be underestimated. Superficial paddling skills do not pursue speed or skill, but only require uniformity. Although many of them are holding wooden paddles for the first time, many of them quickly learned how to use them in the face of death. . Just like those landlubbers who were thrown in the water, they either quickly learned the dog planing style, or...

  As for those people who couldn't master the unified steps and turned around in a panic, some of them bumped into one place while paddling, then fell into the water, and were quickly washed away by the current.

  Du Hu held on tightly to the side of the boat, not daring to stand up, seeing that his men lost almost half in a blink of an eye, crying in pain, with tears streaming down his face.

"Let's go! Go home!" Wei Yan stood firmly at the stern of the boat, not paying attention to the slight ups and downs of the hull, and glanced at Duhu, "Why are you crying! Marching and fighting, the one who hangs his head on his belt! No If you risk your life to grab it, wouldn’t it be possible that wealth like the sky will fall in front of you! Compete with the gods for riches and honor, lose to the sky, and win the descendants of Yin! It’s as simple as that, there’s nothing to cry about!”

"We won! A big victory!" Wei Yan shouted loudly, "General Zhengxi will definitely be rewarded a lot! Seek benevolence and benevolence, what is there to regret! Come! Say hello to the dead brothers! The soul is back! Come home with me!"

   "The soul is back! Come home with me!"

  Zhengxi soldiers shouted loudly.

   "The soul is back! Come home with me!"

  Du Hu stretched his neck, his veins were exposed, and together with other concubines, he followed Zhengxi's soldiers and shouted towards the sky.

  The Han River is surging, rolling eastward...
