Novoland: Eagle Flag Chapter 3: Shangyang blood four

The big account of the coalition army.

"Xiu Country Tiance Army Chief Governor, General Gang Wuweigang."

The senior general who was over fifty years old got up and saluted his surroundings, his beard was all white, and his eyes were still like knives.

"The commander of the Chun State Wind and Tiger Cavalry Army, General Cheng Kuicheng."

The burly general covered in iron armor stood up, like a black tower, his strong chest muscles seemed to be able to break through the breastplate.

"General Chen Guo Huguo leads Jintan City Chengyin, General Fei Anfei."

Chen Guoming dragged Fei An, dressed in fish scales and fine armor, and dragged his dark green luxurious cloak to his feet, and slowly got up

"This is General Yu Dianyu, the commander of the Tang Dynasty Martial Palace, General Xi Yanxi."

The general in the second seat stood up. He wore a black robe and a white belt, like an idle scholar, with only a formidable ancient sword buckled on his belt.

"Chu Weiguo, Bai Yi." After introducing the famous generals of various countries, Bai Yi, who was wearing a white shirt, mentioned himself lightly.

Before this battle, many famous generals here have only heard of Bai Yi's name, but they have never seen this famous "Marquis of Wuyang", "General Yudianyue", "General Dragon" and "Dragon General" in person. "The No. 1 General in East 6". Under so many names, Bai Yi himself has always lived in seclusion. Although he has a huge salary from the royal family "General Yudianyue", he doesn't even go to court to see the emperor during the New Year. It is even more difficult for ordinary people to see him. However, for ten years, not only did the royal family never intend to take back the title, but also no one in the military circles of the entire East China questioned Bai Yi's status as the "No. 1 general in the East China".

Bai Yi didn't take part in many battles in his life, but the results of each battle reversed the situation in East Six.

Looking at the handsome and fair middle-aged man in front of him now, it is difficult for famous generals from all over the world to connect the man in front of him with the legendary Bai Yi. Bai Yi gave people the feeling of being absolutely quiet, so quiet that he was a little old.

"Everyone, except General Xi, who came late, it has been more than five days. Now that you are familiar with it, there is no need to be more polite. The safety of the country is the responsibility of the warrior. Whether you can defeat the rebels and rebels depends on the joint efforts of the generals. !" Bai Yi got up and lifted the Gebu cloth on the wall of the military tent, revealing the huge general map of Shangyang Pass. The length, width, and thickness of the city wall, the number of battlements, and the configuration of the organs are accurate to the inch, which can cover the entire terrain of Shangyang Pass.

"What are the generals' plans?"

The tent immediately became quiet. Before Xi Yan arrived at Shangyang Pass. The armies of the princes who arrived at the beginning began to confront Ying Wuyi, and it has been no less than 20 days now, but the repeated battles have been in vain, not to mention the siege of the city, and even the field battle has not taken any advantage. Li Guo's strong soldiers have already killed the courage of the coalition forces.

Cheng Kui was born in the army, relying on his bravery on the battlefield. Seeing that the people around him were silent, he couldn't help but patted the armrest of the seat: "Don't make any plans! Now we have 100,000 people against 35,000 people, and we have a huge advantage in terms of military strength. Three against one , The hard attack has also been taken down! General Bai made a plan, and Cheng Kui is willing to lead 3,000 infantry to serve as death squads, capture Ying Wuyi, Che Lixiao, and put down the bad breath of our Chun country!"

Chun Guofeng Tiger Cavalry is a rare offensive cavalry, strong in offense and defense, but after all, it is slower than Li Guo Lei Cavalry. Ying Wuyi seemed to have spotted Chunguo's weakness, so when he broke through with Lei Qi the day before yesterday, he chose Cheng Kui's line of defense, and took advantage of the dark night before dawn to break through like lightning. Half of the Fenghu cavalry had never mounted their horses, and the Li army had already burned and killed a round and broke through like flying. After being blocked by Xi Yan halfway, Ying Wuyi withdrew to Shangyang Pass, and the old horse chose the Chun country's defense line as usual. The dejected Cheng Kui was ordering the sergeants to repair the defense line. The Lei cavalry army had already returned from the back of the formation in a mighty manner, and there was another violent storm and non-stop burning and killing. The Thunder Cavalry turned their horses on the Wind Tiger Cavalry, and Shi Shiran returned to the city. Once in and out, as if hunting rabbits in his own hunting ground, Cheng Kui couldn't sleep, wishing he could kill Ying Wuyi, the defiant traitor, with one bite.

Famous generals from all over the world looked sad, and when they heard these heroic words, they looked at each other, dumbfounded. After a while of silence, Xi Yan laughed softly.

"General Xi, do you have anything to say?" Cheng Kui became angry.

"No," Xi Yan shook his head with a serious expression, "I just think that General Cheng, the death squad, must not lead the team in person. The pride of Kyushu belongs to General Cheng alone. Without ambition, there is no way to continue."

Xi Yan's flattery is beyond words, just to tease him, but Cheng Kui is rude, he can't hear it, but he feels embarrassed in his heart. In the Wind Tiger Cavalry Army, his status is far inferior to "Ugly Tiger" Hua Ye, and his reputation cannot be compared with Bai Yi Xiyan. At first I heard Xi Yan laughing, thinking that Xi Yan was conceited and despised him, but now he floated up into the blue sky for a moment, and hurriedly bowed his hands and bowed his hands: "General Xi has given the award, and General Xi has given the award, it's just Cheng's superficial opinion, please correct me, generals. "

"Shangyangguan city wall is nine feet six feet high, one foot four feet thick, and double-layered inside and outside. The urn is equipped with fire holes and irrigation mechanisms. All the gates are exposed to bows and arrows, and there are no dead spots at all." Bai Yi said lightly, "Three thousand people have not rushed to the gate of the city, they have already become arrows."

"Even if I lose 3,000 people, I will add another 5,000 pawns. As long as I take down one city gate, I don't believe Ying Wuyi can hold on!"

"How does General Cheng plan to ascend the city?" Bai Yi glanced at Cheng Kui.

"Ladder." Cheng Kui was puzzled. Of course, the most practical equipment for climbing the city is the ladder.

"General Cheng," Gang Wuwei shook his head, "Nine feet and six feet, where is such a tall tree in the world? Who can make such a tall ladder?"

Cheng Kui stared wide-eyed and was stunned for a long time before he remembered the unattainable city wall of Shangyang Pass.

"Could it be that... the tree can't grow up to nine feet or six feet high?" Cheng Kui took off his helmet and scratched his head, "Didn't it mean that Yuren's tree can grow twenty or thirty feet long?"

"That's the sacred tree of the Yu clan," Gang Wuwei shook his head, "Could it be that General Cheng wants to chop up someone else's sacred tree to make a ladder?"

"When Shangyangguan was rebuilt, there was a controversy about its height. In the end, the craftsmen chose the tallest cedar in the dense forest of Jinhe River and wanted to build the tallest ladder in the world. Up and down, no matter how long the ladder is, it will be soft, and it will break before reaching the top of the city. So Shangyang Pass was finally built to nine feet and six feet," Bai Yi narrated quietly, without the slightest emotion.

Cheng Kui sat back in the chair dejectedly, and the solid wooden chair creaked under the weight of his burly and heavy body.

"Then fire attack?" Gang Wuwei said, "I remember that Emperor Gao used fire to attack Yangguan in the **** battle. Now that autumn is crisp and the firewood is flammable, it is the right time for fire attack."

"If it was still seven hundred years ago, attacking with fire would be an excellent strategy, but," Fei An, who had been silent for a long time, said coldly, "but today's Shangyang Pass is not the same as it was back then. , it can be said that there is almost no wood, it is a real stone city!"

"Water attack? Dig Jianshui and pour the river into Shangyang Pass. Even if the water is not strong enough to force Ying Wuyi out, but the city is flooded, the food is moldy, and the soldiers are exhausted. Ying Wuyi will definitely find it difficult to hold on."

Bai Yi shook his head slowly: "On the way here, I measured the water level of the Jianhe River, and it was ten feet lower than the terrain of Shangyang Pass. I'm afraid that these were all in the mind of the person who designed them. A peerless talent."

"Where was the water level of the Jianhe River seven hundred years ago?" Xi Yan asked suddenly.

"It just reached the foot of Shangyang Pass, and not a drop of water can get in!"

"It's really peerless." Xi Yan sighed quietly.

"Since the terrain is high, why not let him have no water available?" A clear male voice came from a distance outside the tent, followed by steady footsteps.

Xi Yan suddenly raised his eyebrows and laughed: "We are finally here."

He got up and opened the tent door himself, and stood down respectfully: "Yueyi night party, three arrows capture soul, could it be Gu Yueyi?"

The purple-clothed general who strode into the account was startled, and immediately took a look at Xi Yan: "Moyu Feitian, Excalibur Dingyue, could it be General Yu?"

The two bowed to each other and laughed together.

As well-known generals of the East 6th, Xi Yan and Gu Yueyi, who was younger than him, did not know each other, but when they first met, they bowed and smiled, but the two seemed like friends for many years. What Gu Yueyi was talking about was Xi Yan's name and weapon, but what Xi Yan was talking about was the "Yueyi Three Arrows" battle where Gu Yueyi became famous.

Gu Yueyi became famous at the age of nineteen. Before he became famous, he was just a cavalry archer in the Izumo Cavalry Army of Northern Shanxi, and his monthly salary was only one and a half gold baht. In the Izumo Cavalry Army, there are a full 3,000 cavalry and archers. At the junction of Jinbei Kingdom and Xiu Kingdom, there is a huge lake called Yeze. Yeze was desolate, with complex terrain, and the military forces of both countries could not reach it, so it became a place where thieves had been entrenched for many years. Gu Yueyi's Izumo Cavalry Army guarded Zhenlian Town, 20 miles north of Yeze, to prevent Yeze's thieves from going north to harass them.

However, no one thought that after decades of operation, Yeze's thieves would actually form a mighty army of thousands of people. Under the ambition of the bandit Li Changgen, he forcibly went north, intending to occupy Bogen City, the only important food town in northern Shanxi. And Zhenlian Town is the closest road to Bogen City. There are only fifty cavalry in Zhenlian Town. The leading cavalry general panicked, abandoned the residents, and led his own soldiers to ask for help from Bogen City, and ordered the remaining soldiers to guard it.

That night, Yeze thieves approached Zhenlian Town in a dense manner. The men and women in the town sat and cried, and the women handed over their children to their husbands with scissors on them. A man flees with a child, and a woman can save herself from being humiliated as long as she stabs her chest. This is the only way left, everyone knows that dozens of cavalry can't defend the town, and Li Changgen, the bandit of Yeze, is a fanatic who likes to cut off the **** of raped women to cook.

The unknown Gu Yueyi rode out of the city alone, wearing white clothes reflecting the moon, only carrying a horn bow. The mighty Yeze army stopped in front of this arrogant cavalry archer at a loss. Li Changgen was alarmed and stepped forward to watch from behind the formation. At this time, Gu Yueyi was still 400 paces away from him, Gu Yueyi suddenly led the horse, as if he didn't see the five thousand thieves, he went straight to attack Li Changgen. There was a heavy rain of arrows in Yeze's bandit formation, Gu Yueyi fired an arrow at 300 paces, and it missed, and then fired another arrow at 200 paces, but it still missed.

When he was only one hundred and fifty steps away from Li Changgen, the war horse had already been shot dead by an arrow, and Gu Yue was shot by an arrow each on the shoulder, arm, and leg. Li Changgen was furious, he rode out to take off Gu Yueyi's head himself. At this time, Gu Yueyi couldn't stand anymore, he sat on the ground, slowly drew his longbow, and pointed it at Li Chu, the white feathers flashed under the moon, and the arrows roared like a dragon's chant.

The last feathered arrow shattered the forehead iron on Li Changgen's battle helmet, piercing through the center of his brow. In this situation, if the remaining dozens of Izumo cavalry were burned by the fire, they would desperately **** them out of Zhenlian Town and attack the thieves. Five thousand thieves collapsed.

"You actually only carry three arrows?" When Gu Yueyi met Jinhou Lei Qianye, Lei Qianye looked at the young man coldly.

"The subordinates don't think they have the chance to shoot the fourth arrow."

"Then you have the heart to die?"

"The subordinate guards Zhenlian Town, even if you die, you can't watch the thieves run rampant."

Lei Qianye smiled coldly, pointed to the cavalry general who went to Bogen City to ask for help, and said, "Arrogance! Are you the one guarding Zhenlian Town? It's your general! Since there are military orders saying that you want to If you stick to it and wait for help, you should die in your duty, and if you think you are good at archery, you can disobey the military order?"

The cavalry general heaved a sigh of relief and kowtowed silently.

Lei Qianye ordered Gu Yueyi to be given one hundred gold baht on the spot, but his knee was cut off, and he was expelled from the Izumo Cavalry Army forever, and he was no longer allowed to serve in Jinbei. All the ministers in the court could not bear it, but the punishment for violating military orders was just like this, and no one dared to disobey the emperor for this little cavalry archer. Gu Yueyi didn't defend herself either, she turned around and left with the executioner.

"If you want to hate me, it's okay," Lei Qianye suddenly said from behind him, "Your fault is that you are flying too high, forgetting that even though you are talented, you are just a pawn. Who dares to use a heart that is as high as the sky Pawn?"

"Who is willing to be a **** forever?" Gu Yueyi's roar echoed in the hall.

Amidst Gu Yueyi's roar, Lei Qianye burst out laughing. He drew his sword and stepped forward, beheaded the cavalry general with one sword, and kicked his body aside. Lei Qianye strode back to his seat and threw down the military order he had already written, and smiled coldly at Gu Yueyi. It was written in the military order that Gu Yueyi would be promoted to partial general immediately, lead 800 out-of-cloud cavalry troops, and be given armor and swords.

In just three years, Gu Yueyi has already mastered the entire Izumo cavalry army, and he can be called the number one general in northern Shanxi.

Gu Yueyi was young and had little qualifications, so he sat at the bottom. Xi Yan also returned to his seat.

"No water available?" Xi Yan smiled at the bottom, "General Gu wants to cut off the water channel of the army?"

"Yes, since Shangyang Pass is higher than the surrounding area, it must not be a place where flowing water gathers. We only need to cut off its water source, and we are not afraid of leaving the city to fight to the death."

"This plan won't work," Fei An said with a stern expression, "I've checked the surroundings, and no river has entered Shangyang Pass. The water supply in the pass is probably because two mountain springs are pressed into the ground, and wells are dug in the pass. To get water, but it is difficult to find the exit of the mountain spring.”

"It doesn't work in the east, nor in the west. Does General Fei have any clever plans?" Cheng Kui couldn't help standing up. Cheng Kui didn't like Fei An's stern demeanor and his reticence in talking and laughing. At this time, he repeatedly vetoed it, which greatly dissatisfied Cheng Kui who was seeking to fight.

"The art of corpse poison, have you ever heard of it?"

"Corpse poison?"

"We have fought several times, and there are enough corpses. Those corpses that have been dead for more than ten days are pulled out of the soil and thrown into Shangyang Pass with catapults. If the corpse poison spreads, especially if it enters the well, within a month, Shangyang Pass will become a dead city."

Fei An finished speaking calmly, then suddenly raised his head, looked around, and saw Cheng Kui, Gang Wuwei, and Gu Yueyi all had surprised expressions, while Bai Yi turned his back to everyone, and smiled lightly , the tent went quiet for a while.

"This can't be done, this can't be done," Cheng Kui thought for a long time, shaking his head with his big hand, "The ground is full of rotting corpses, we won the Shangyang Pass, but we can't get in."

"Does General Cheng think that Ying Wuyi would be so stupid?" Fei An said disdainfully, "As long as a group of soldiers are poisoned, Ying Wuyi will rush to break out of the siege, and this is a good opportunity to intercept and kill them!"

"The army of the emperor's loyal king uses such insidious tactics, I'm afraid it will harm your majesty's political virtue." Gang Wuwei shook his head.

"Old General Gang," Fei An sneered, "I have heard that Old General Gang went into battle at the age of fourteen, and killed countless dead souls under the knife. What's the difference between killing with a knife and killing with poison? Your Majesty has been coercing Ying Wuyi for many years, If we can really poison Ying Wuyi to death, His Majesty will not be happy, so why would he care about political virtues?"

"But when a soldier dies, he dies. How can we excavate the bones and disturb the souls of the dead?"

"The dead are all dead, what do you mean the souls of the dead are restless? Old General Gang doesn't care about the lives of the living, but cares about the safety of the dead?"

Gang Wuwei was speechless.

"I suddenly remembered that when General Fei besieged Wuhe City back then, he wiped out his opponents without a single soldier. Could it be this clever strategy?" Xi Yan suddenly laughed.

"Not bad. A month later, there were corpses all over the city, and thousands of catties of sulfur and lime were used to detoxify."

Xi Yan laughed loudly: "Okay. Everyone has their own opinions, but in the end, General Bai will make a decision."

After Xi Yan's voice fell, Bai Yi turned around slowly, clenched his fist with his right hand firmly on the case: "Since it is up to Bai Yi to make the decision, then General Fei does not need to discuss it again, attacking the city with corpse poison is not a military law. "

"What is the way of military law?" Fei An suppressed his anger and asked.

"Do nothing!"

Fei An suddenly felt cold. When Bai Yi said that, he slowly raised his eyes to look at him. The eyes of the two met, and Fei An clearly felt his sharp eyes being pushed back. Bai Yi didn't have a murderous look or dignity, but that kind of quiet pressure was irresistible. This calm old general suddenly changed when he raised his eyes.

Everyone was quiet for a while, and Bai Yi said: "Since there is no good plan yet, everyone should disperse today. It is not a day for Li Guo to threaten the emperor, and it is not a day for us to revive the emperor."

The famous generals of the various countries did not say much, and they got up to leave. Xi Yanluo was at the end, and stopped for a while when leaving the account, chuckled without looking back: "If I think right, you already have a plan to break the city."

"Only within ten days."

"What a Bai Yi, still the arrogance of the past," Xi Yan laughed and left the tent, Gu Yueyi had already invited him to serve tea at the Jinbei camp.

The scribe in Tsing Yi opened the curtain on the side and walked into the military tent without making a sound.

"Have you finished your work yet?"

"Three thousand catties of chamaejasma, one thousand catties of aconitum, and three thousand catties of euphorbia have been boiled, and a total of one thousand and fifty catties of rough medicine have been obtained. I have already sent fifty confidant soldiers out, and I just wait The general sent orders."

Bai Yi nodded slightly: "Yes, you can wait for my order at any time. Also, you have been watching for so long, what do you think of the generals of various countries?"

The scribe pondered for a moment: "Cheng Kui, a martial artist, was able to become a general of the Wind Tiger Cavalry Army because he borrowed the brilliance of the ugly tiger Hua Ye. , and nothing to be afraid of. On the contrary, Fei An not only has insight into the situation, but also is full of tricks, which can be called unscrupulous. If he is an enemy of our army, he may be a strong opponent."

Bai Yi smiled lightly: "It's only half right, Fei An is too sharp, I'm afraid it's not a good thing. Haven't you heard the saying that a long edge is easy to break? A thin-bladed knife is sharp, but it is the easiest to cut . Say the remaining two."

"Gu Yueyi in the north of Jin has a restrained edge and looks like a general, but it will take time. As for General Tang Xi..." the scribe hesitated.

"Say it straight."

"The subordinates know that General Xi is an old friend of the great general, but General Xi...is not a famous general."

Bai Yi smiled quietly: "It's just like a lazy son of a family, isn't it?"

"General, excuse me for your ignorance and lies." The scribe bowed and bowed down.

Bai Yi shook his head: "Zihou, I know that you are good at matching people, but there are always some people in the world who are beyond your expectations. Xi Yan is not someone who can be recognized by eyes. .If one day you lead the army alone against Xiyan, don’t hesitate to retreat. You may not be able to surpass this person in your life...and my most difficult enemy!"

"Enemy?" The scribe was shocked, "Isn't Xi Yan a friend of the general?"

Bai Yi was silent for a long time, and sighed leisurely: "It's because he was my best friend back then, and I know his character too well. Today's Xiyan, even if he is not my enemy, is no longer my enemy." Friends!"
