Farmer of Shu Han

Looking at Wen Shi, who just came back from the Chinese army, with a worried expression on his face, Wang Han, the guard of the engineering battalion, couldn't help but feel a little strange:

"General Wen was summoned by General Hussars, but what orders do you have?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Shi repeated Wei Yan's orders, and then heaved a long sigh:

"Although I have never personally led an army to fight against thieves, I have seen a lot of things in the army over the years."

"In my opinion, General Hussars may be a little too anxious this time."

"If it was changed to the Central Guard, I am afraid that the soldiers would not let the soldiers attack the city so disregarding casualties for the sake of a city."

When Wang Han heard Wen Shi's words, he quickly made a gesture, looked around, and then pulled him to the young people's place:

"General Wen, General Hussars is the commander-in-chief of the army. Even if we are seconded, we must be restrained by him."

"Talking about the coach behind his back is a serious crime if he really wants to be held accountable. Therefore, it is better for General Wen not to say such things in the army."

Literally nodded:

"Thank you, General Wang, for reminding me. Actually, why don't I know? It's just General Hussars... Alas! Besides, this is where our engineering battalion is located, so I couldn't help but mention a few words."

Seeing Wen Shi like this, Wang Han couldn't help asking:

"What does Hussar General want our engineering battalion to do?"

As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Gaodu City not far away.

The outskirts of Gaodu City had long been smashed to pieces by stone cannons.

He turned around again, subconsciously said casually:

"You don't want us to destroy those things on the mountain, do you?"

Unexpectedly, Wenshi smiled wryly:

"That's right, General Hussars wants our engineering battalion to help destroy all the fortresses on the mountain..."

"Huh?" Wang Han immediately widened his eyes when he heard the words, opened his mouth and let out a huff, and stood there in a daze.

After a while, he realized that Wen Shi wasn't joking, so he couldn't help but raised his voice and shouted:

"Dream? If the engineering battalion is so powerful, what else do you need?"

Wang Han is of the same clan as Wang Ping.

In his early years, Wang Ping was protected by Zhongdu's eyes, and he returned to his hometown in fine clothes, which drew many fellow villagers out.

The young Wang Han joined the army at that time.

Probably because he was still young, so the Central Guard kept him by his side for several years.

Over the years, Wang Han has stayed in Wudang Camp, Personal Guard Camp, and even Dark Night Camp.

It can be said that, like Wang Ping, his honor and disgrace are tied to Zhongdu Hu.

Now the Central Guard sent him to the engineering battalion as a guard. To put it bluntly, he was asked to take good care of the technicians in the battalion.

So when he heard Wei Yan's request at this time, Wang Han naturally wanted to jump.

"Hush! Be quiet..."

This time it's Wenshi's turn to remind Wang Han:

"If General Hussars didn't bring it up, I would have wanted to scold someone at that time. After explaining for a long time, General Hussars knew that this idea would not work."

Thinking of this, Wen Shi almost scolded someone for being illiterate.

After all, who but the illiterate would make such a request?

"No! The current military situation is urgent, and General Hussars is not a good friend."

Wang Han is careful, and when he heard this, he couldn't help himself:

"What if he brings up this matter again later and insists on letting us try?"

In fact, it is not impossible to give it a try if it is changed to a weekday.

But that was under the condition of safety guarantee. With the current situation, Wang Han did not dare to let the engineering battalion follow him to take risks down the mountain.

The Central Guard sent him here, but he specifically reminded him that he should pay attention to protecting the engineering battalion.

After following Zhongduhu for so many years, Wang Han also realized in his heart:

In the engineering battalion, someone may hold some unknown secrets related to the army.

If not, why is the Engineering Battalion directly under the Central Capital Protectorate?

Instead of delegating to each army?

Thinking of this, Wang Han raised his vigilance again:

"I heard that Sima Yi, the leader of the thieves, has brought reinforcements over, not far from here."

"Anyway, the task of our engineering battalion has been completed, and the rest of the fighting before the battle is not our director."

"Therefore, it is useless to stay here. General Wen, why don't you use the pretext of supervising the manufacturing of equipment and take the master craftsmen in the battalion to retreat to the rear for safety."

Wen Shi was taken aback, he just complained, but he didn't expect Wang Han to make such an arrangement:

"how about you?"

Wang Han shook his head:

"General Hussars is not easy to talk to. You just rejected his request. If the engineering battalion retreats all at once, I'm afraid it will be hard to explain."

"You take the people and leave first. If the Hussar General doesn't respond, you can ask the Hussar General in a few days and ask me to go to help. I think there will be no problem."

Wang Han, as the guard, has 1,500 soldiers.

Not much to say, at least during the siege, there were 1,500 people, not even the number of the two batches.

Basically, it will not play a role in turning things around.

But if it is less, it is not less.

Most of the time, this elite army specially dispatched by the Central Capital Protectorate can at least protect the core personnel of the engineering battalion.

Wen Shi nodded in response, without too much entanglement.

He knew that in this kind of matter, he had better listen to the arrangements of professionals.

It's as if Wang Han never interfered with how he shot.

"Then when do we act?"

"Tomorrow, you just came back from there, and now you go back, it seems a bit too deliberate."

In fact, Wang Han wanted to bring up this matter again in a few days, but things before the battle changed rapidly.

Plus a hussar general who didn't have a good relationship with the Central Guard.

This matter, of course, should be done early.

As the direct descendant of Zhongduhu, but now under the command of the Zuo Hussar General, Wang Han dared not have the slightest intention of entrusting him with his superiors.

The two discussed some details and perfected the plan, and then went to prepare separately.

The next day, Wen Shi took courage and went to see Wei Yan again.

Unexpectedly, when Wei Yan heard this, he agreed without any doubt at all.

After all, the siege has entered the final juncture, and it is really necessary to step up the production of equipment.

And there is a more important reason, that is, Zhang Bao from Hedong sent a fast horse to send a message:

Wei thieves appeared on Zheguanxing.

Wei Yan quickly made a judgment:

This is Wei's thief who wants to contain Hedong and prevent him from sending reinforcements from Hedong to support him.

However, in Wei Yan's view, the thief Wei is just unnecessary.

Because the reinforcements he wants to mobilize are not from Hedong, but from Shangdang!

It's just behind the news that Wei Yan felt the urgency of time even more.

Obviously, Wei thief has already started to act.

The thief Wei on the other side of Zhe Guanxing made a movement.

Coupled with the report from the scouts yesterday, it was said that a new Wei thief had been discovered at Tianjingguan in Taihang Xing.

All this shows that Sima Yi probably wants to use offense as defense to force the big man to retreat.

Sima Yi, who fled from Guanzhong to Luoyang, has been very quiet for the past few years.

The biggest reason why he dared to go to war at this time may be:

Someone Feng left Chang'an for Wuguan, and the pressure in Luoyang dropped sharply, so Sima Yi dared to act like this.

Having figured this out, Wei Yan immediately became a little more irritable and angry:

"That guy Feng Yong did it on purpose. He can't see me leading the army and making meritorious deeds. He is no different from a mouse!"

He looked towards the last hill in Gaodu City with an extremely livid face.

If reinforcements from the thieves from Tianjing Pass arrive, then my efforts these days will be in vain.

However, the soldiers were already exhausted because of their hasty attack on the city.

In addition, because of the heavy casualties during the attack on the mountain, morale has become low, and a rest is urgently needed.

Wei Yan looked in the direction of the engineering battalion, and his eyes became a little flickering.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came, interrupting Wei Yan's train of thought.

"What is it?"

Wei Chang hadn't opened his mouth yet, when he heard Wei Yan's sudden question, he was slightly taken aback, and quickly replied:

"General, Shangdang's reinforcements are here!"

"finally come?"

Wei Yan, who turned his back to Wei Chang in deep thought, turned around hastily when he heard this:

"Where are they now?"

I thought that Shangdang's reinforcements would arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the earliest.

Unexpectedly, it was a day early.

The military situation is like fire, and one more day can probably turn the tide of the battle!

Wei Yan only felt that the dullness of these days had been swept away.

Probably seeing the doubts in Wei Yan's heart, Wei Chang explained:

"Shangdang's reinforcements were urgently summoned by the general, and they did not dare to neglect. They traveled at double speed yesterday and this morning, so it was only a day early."

"Okay, okay!" Wei Yan was overjoyed and couldn't wait to order, "Let them gather immediately, eat something, rest, and attack the city today!"

"Ah?" Wei Chang was taken aback when he heard Wei Yan's words.

"Ah what? Why don't you go soon?!"

Seeing his appearance, Wei Yan couldn't help shouting.

Wei Chang's lips moved, and he wanted to turn around and leave, but in the end he reminded him:

"General, the soldiers have come from afar and are exhausted, why not..."

Before Wei Chang could finish his words, the anger that Wei Yan had been suppressing all these days suddenly flared up.

He kicked Wei Chang violently and knocked him to the ground.

Wei Yan pointed at Wei Chang and cursed:

"I have led soldiers for decades, don't you know this, and I need you to remind me?"

Besides, the officers and men of the Shangdang were brought out by myself. Is there anyone in this world who understands them better than me?

The soldiers came all the way, really tired.

But the thieves have been fighting continuously these days, and they will only get more tired.

Wei Chang didn't dare to say another word, he got up from the ground silently, didn't even dare to pat the dirt on his body, and went to the rear.

At Tianjing Pass, fifty miles away from Gaodu City, Sima Shi was standing on the highest point of the pass, looking to the north, as if he was listening to the shouts of killing coming from Gaodu City.

Footsteps came from behind, Niu Jin walked behind Master Sima, with a slightly anxious look on his face:

"General, according to the reports from the spies, the city of Gaodu is about to be destroyed. The general led the troops here for more than a day, why did he not move forward?"

Master Sima didn't look back at him, but said calmly:

"The soldiers have traveled so far and are overworked. Naturally, they need to take a good rest first to recover their strength."

Hearing this, Niu Jin had an incredulous expression on his face, and stretched out his finger to the north:

"But……"

"No but." Sima Shi also stretched out his hand, pointing in the same direction as Niu Jin, "What we are going to face is Wei Yan, one of the leaders of the western thieves."

"Wei Yan is a rare fierce general among the western thieves, and he is also a veteran, only under Feng thieves."

"Therefore, before finding out the battle situation in Gaodu City, don't rush into it lightly."

Hearing this, Niu Jin opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but he didn't know where to start.

Because what General Sima said was not wrong.

But he always felt that something was not right.

But since the coach has made a decision, he is naturally not good at commenting.

In the end, I just choked out a sentence:

"Then general, how about I personally lead someone to check the situation?"

Sima Shi finally turned his head and glanced at Niu Jin expressionlessly:

"General Niu, your duty now is to restrain the soldiers below and arrange for them to have a good rest so that they can cope with the fierce battle in the near future, instead of taking personal risks."

Seeing Master Sima's appearance, Niu Jin seemed to realize something, so he excused himself to go down to arrange for the soldiers, and then hesitantly withdrew.

After Niu Jin left, Master Sima looked towards the north again, silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

I don't know how long it took, a personal guard walked over lightly and said in a low voice:

"My lord, the scout is back."

"Oh?" Master Sima's expression changed, and he quickly turned around, "Hurry up and get someone over here."

"No need to salute, tell me how the situation is?"

Halfway through the salute, the chief scout stopped immediately after hearing the words, and replied:

"General, the western thieves are in a hurry to attack the city. Although Gaodu City has not completely fallen, it will only happen overnight."

"Following the general's orders, the villain sent people down the mountain and ventured to the side of the bandit army to investigate the enemy's situation."

"After losing nearly ten masters, I found out that the bandits' reinforcements seem to have arrived..."

"Okay!" Master Sima yelled and clapped his fists, "It's finally here!"

Seeing the astonishment of the chief scout and the guards, Master Sima did not explain, but said to the chief scout:

"I will credit the lost brothers in your hand, and I will double the compensation after the war."

The chief scout, who was still a little ashamed at first, didn't react for a while when he heard this.

He thought that the disappearance of his brothers might reveal the military situation.

Unexpectedly, instead of pursuing the case, the general made a credit for it.

Sima waved his hand, telling the guards and scout chiefs to retreat.

Then when he turned to look north, his face, which had been expressionless all day, finally showed a smile:

"Wei Yan, Wei Yan, after all, you have fallen into your lord's scheme..."

After muttering this sentence, he snorted again with a sneer:

"The mere Gaodu City has not been captured until now, and it seems that you are nothing more than that."

Although he didn't hear Sima Shi's sarcasm towards him, Wei Yan was already like a gambler with red eyes at this time.

I saw him wearing armor, standing in front of the soldiers of the Han army who had just rushed to rescue from Shangdang, and shouted loudly:

"The thieves are exhausted, you wait for the rookie, if you don't break the thieves now, when will you wait?"

"Today, I will personally lead you and others to attack the city. If the city is not broken, I swear not to retreat. I would rather die halfway up the mountain!"

Wei Yanshan raised soldiers, and most of these soldiers were brought out by him himself.

At this time, when the coach personally led them to attack the city, the crowd couldn't help being excited, shouting "Breathe the thief! Break the thief! Break the thief!"

"Follow me!"

With the sound of war drums, the Han army once again charged towards the last highland in Gaodu City.

The defenders who did not wait for reinforcements could no longer hold on this time.

The flag of the Wei Army at the highest point in Gaodu City was finally burned down.

Wei Yan deeply hated the Wei army for not surrendering, which caused the death of many soldiers.

Extremely angry, he wanted to order the captured defenders, regardless of their disabilities, to be killed.

Fortunately, Wei Chang knelt down and begged bitterly, and Wen Shi and Wang Han, who learned about the matter, also rushed to persuade those prisoners that they escaped with their lives.
