Sanma Mountain stretches northward, and the steeper it goes northward. But there were almost no Shu soldiers stationed here, only the wandering scouts ran away. Shi Yan took a horse and led a group of men and horses to climb up the ridge along several roads, and he sighed suddenly. Shi Yan's body is very tall and burly, and there are few people who are bigger than him; but his body is heavy, and it is very laborious to walk the mountain in heavy armor. The sweat on his body soaked the lining, and he felt that the top of his head was so hot as to smoke. The armor that Brother Shao smashed out is strong and strong, but there are many uncomfortable places, such as the helmet is completely airtight.
The soldiers were still climbing on the hillside with their horses, but not all came up. Shi Yan could only stand and wait for a while. He was attracted by the sight of Kuizhou at first glance.
Kuizhou seems to be at your feet, this important town, Shi Yan is already looking forward to taking it alone!
Standing at a high place to see a city is completely different from standing outside the gate and looking up at the towering city head. At this time, Kuizhou seemed to be just a field, and the neighborhoods inside were divided into fields, flat and low.
Shi Yan looked sideways and saw that the large Shu army on the southern hillside was defeated, defeated like a mountain, surging westward like a crowd. Shi Yan looked contemptuous, and snorted coldly: "Unbearable!"
A group of generals came to him, and followed him looking down at the scenes on the left and right.
Shi Yan looked up at the sky, the sky was clear, so Kuizhou in the distance was clear at a glance. He bent down, grabbed a handful of sand on the ground, rubbed the sweat from the palm of his hand, took off a full-body iron gun from the moment, and pointed to Kuizhou remotely: "Take this city down with me! "
Immediately led the army down the mountain, and a large group of heavy riders gathered in the bushes under the mountain. At this time, the defeated soldiers of the Shu army were rushing towards the city gate. Shi Yan felt that it was time to go. He turned on his horse and ordered the whole army to dispatch. He immediately rushed out with the lead.
A large number of cavalry rushed out of the bush and their horses were jogging happily. The sound of the wind whizzed in his ears, and the target was ahead. Shi Yan was inexplicably excited at such times.
...But at this time, Wang Zhaoyuan led a rout to the city, and the city gate was closed. Countless people crowded outside the moat, yelling, yelling to open the door. Wang Zhaoyuan rode outside the door and shouted: "Gao Yanlian! Gao Yanlian!"
At this moment, a big man on the tower stood by the female wall and said loudly: "Jianjun Wang will take a step and wait a while at Naihe Bridge. We will talk about it when Ben is about to arrive. There is nothing to say now, you look back. !"
Wang Zhaoyuan had long known that Zhou Jun was chasing him. When he looked back, he saw a wave of Zhou Jun horsemen and soldiers rushing forward like wolves and tigers. Wang Zhaoyuan became more anxious: "Open the door, I will defend the city with Gao Jieshuai."
The horse soldiers of Zhou Jun immediately succumbed to the defeated army of Wang Zhaoyuan's blockbuster. Countless men and horses were driven over, and the city gate became more crowded. Wang Zhaoyuan widened his eyes and his tone was almost sad: "Gao Jieshuai, you and I are both ministers of the Great Shu, today you saved my life, Wang Mou is unforgettable!"
"Jiangling Mansion (Jingnan) opened the door and took the opportunity to seize the city gate. I opened the city now, and the result is obvious." Gao Yanjian shouted, "No one can save you, and Kuizhou can't hold it! Jianjun Wang, if you still remember the emperor’s kindness and a bit of blood, let’s fight the last battle under the city!"
"The surname is high, you are cruel...fuck!" Wang Zhaoyuan was scolding, an arrow flew over his head, he looked up, and saw Gao Yanjian squeezing a bow and shooting an arrow again. There was nothing to say at the moment, so quickly pat the horse away from the city wall.
... Shi Yan yelled to catch up with the fleeing Shu soldiers, and the prepared iron spear shot forward with the speed of the horse, and immediately passed through the back of a soldier, straight through the vest. He once again took an iron gun from his back and chased it up, but he didn't break the battle, because there were rout soldiers who lost their helmets and armor, making him feel that it was a waste of weapons to chase down these people.
A group of people waved the flag in the distance, and one of them shouted: "Brave warriors of Da Zhou, our chief general Wang Zhaoyuan admitted that he was defeated. If he wants to surrender to your army, please be merciful to the soldiers of Da Zhou..."
Just then a horse-riding messenger came from behind, carrying three small red flags, and the messenger shouted: "General Guo of the Chinese army, general, the surrender of the Shu army is free from killing, and it is strictly forbidden to kill prisoners!"
The surrounding Shu soldiers heard the yelling of the messenger and knelt to surrender, and suddenly their weapons were dropped. Shi Yan rushed to the city with a horse soldier, arrows on the wall like rain. He wandered around the gate, only to see the suspension bridge hoisted and the gate closed. The iron cavalry fought back with bows and arrows by the moat, rushing but couldn't make any further progress. Warhorses were shot to death continuously, Shi Yan patted the horses and turned around, shouting: "Go!"
Shi Yan turned his head and looked at the city wall, only to feel very upset, as if he had hit the wall with a punch. The flat and fragile city seen on the mountain seemed like a city that could be trampled into **** by iron hoofs at any time, but at this time it became an insurmountable iron wall.
"There is no siege equipment, only wait for the army to come to the city, and discuss the long-term plan!" Shi Yan's general persuaded.
Not long after, I saw Yang Biao, covered in blood, riding a horseman and riding to the city. That Yang Biao had a fierce horse face. At this time, he was covered with blood, and he was even more fierce and evil like a killer star; not to mention the fear of the soldiers who lay down on both sides to beg for mercy, even Zhou Jun himself was afraid to see him. meaning.
Yang Biao looked up at the city wall, then turned to look directly at Shi Yan, and gave a cold "hum".
Shi Yan annoyed: "Guo Du’s trick, I’m just following orders. The guards won’t open the city gates, what can I do!"
While talking, Guo Shao might see that the front was over, so he took his soldiers and ran over on horseback. Guo Shao came over and asked: "Where is Wang Zhaoyuan?"
Shi Yan's general then remembered that someone had said that he would surrender just now and went to the army to find the chief general of the Shu army. Seeing that the two generals were there, Guo Shao raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes, and said: "Take people to drive the soldiers away from prison. What are you standing there? It doesn't matter if you haven't taken Kuizhou temporarily. The main force of Kuizhou has already been defeated. Thousands of people can't hold it anymore."
……
Kuizhou has only three thousand troops left, and the perimeter of the city wall is ten miles. It is not enough to stand alone on the wall to defend the city. As long as the Zhou army builds the siege equipment and surrounds it with a strong attack, it will not be able to defend it; no matter how strong the city is, it must be defended by soldiers.
Originally, the Kuizhou stronghold still had more than 20,000 troops after the defeat of Wuxia in the division of troops and the defeat in the water battle. It is not that the Kingdom of Shu did not pay attention to this fortress... But today Wang Zhaoyuan placed the main force outside the city for a long time. When the time is running out, I lost a clean sweep. This time there is absolutely no way.
Gao Yanjian left the city and sighed: "I can't hold Qinchuan, and now I have lost the door to the east of Dashu. Even if the monarch does not kill me, how can I meet the people of Shu?"
In the battle of Qin and Feng, Zhao Jizha, who controlled the military power and was responsible for the unification of the Qin and Feng two states of the Shu army, fled back to Chengdu in embarrassment, causing the Shu army to be in a chaotic battle. Gao Yanjian was ordered to lead the reinforcements to rush from Chengdu, but seeing the chaos ahead and knowing that there is no cure, he led the troops to retreat to Baoqingniling. That's why he said he could not keep the soil in Qinchuan.
At this moment, seeing that the general situation is gone, he drew his sword and wanted to commit suicide. The general was shocked, hugged and rescued.
The general persuaded: "Wang Zhaoyuan's servant is to blame for this battle. He is your majesty's confidant, and he is in charge of the king's military power. The blame lies with him. Why should the general seek death for him?" Everyone rushed." General Gao had long advised him not to go out of the city, but he would not listen, and now he has broken the soldiers clean and dragged us down..."
Gao Yanjian shook his head and said, "What's the use of saying these now? If you don't have a soldier, Kuizhou will be lost. If Kuizhou is lost, the east gate of Shudi will open. Who can bear this heavy responsibility? I am not Wang Zhaoyuan. , Lost such an important place and still have a face to live."
The generals were silent, and some people lamented: "The heroes of General Gao died so awkwardly, so we regret for you... It's better to go to a decisive battle, everyone will follow General Gao and go through the fire!"
"It's useless, Wang Zhaoyuan can't stop so many people for a long time. Our people are going to die." Gao Yanjian said, "The big thing is not good. Why don't you take my head and send it to the Zhou army camp for advice. Stay alive."
Gao Yanjian smiled bitterly: "Anyway, I can't live. Li Jingwei of Jingnan is the general of Nanping State who wrote to us last time. He resisted Zhou Jun because of his strong support. When Jiangling Mansion was broken, I was killed in order to emulate you. You guys live well and don’t have to go to death for nothing; I go one step ahead. Instead of being humiliated by the enemy, I’d rather die in the hands of my brothers."
People around me are all sad.
Suddenly an officer said: "It's not useless. Zhou Jun entered Shu and recruited and surrendered all the way. The Shu people made the world laugh! Today, I am waiting to follow General Gao and fight to the death in order to honor our Shu people. The courage!" He said in deep thought: "The general situation of the Shu country is gone. I will die and the people will live. If we don't resist at all, it might make the Zhou court feel that the Shu people are easy to bully, and they can bully at will in the future! Everyone, I After waiting for many years to eat the grease of the common people, to raise the soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while, the time has come to serve the country with death!"
After hearing this, everyone agreed, and some people said loudly: "Our Shu army hasn’t known the beacon smoke for many years. Some people’s armors are rusty. The combat power is not good, but the integrity is still there! Don’t be looked down upon by the world. , Brothers rise!"
"Xiongqi! Xiongqi..." The countless soldiers around shouted in response.
Gao Yanjian was moved and laughed tightly on the hilt of the sword and said: "Since Wu, I have been waiting for this day to come. The Shroud of Horse is killed in battle. Today, I can finally do what I want."
The staff member who just said: "There is no power to bind the chicken, only a pen. I am willing to write a war note to the Zhou army for General Gao. I will take the war note to the Zhou army camp to declare war. Wok."
Gao Yanjian made a decisive decision: "Order the defenders of the cities to go to the Chinese army to discuss matters. In the afternoon, they will gather people and go out of the city from the east gate to fight Zhou Jun!"
"De Ling!" The generals clasped their fists.
The staff immediately swiped on the gongan in the castle tower, and a passionate article was formed into a chapter.
