Farmer of Shu Han

The so-called Little General Wei is Wei Chang who is guarding Gaodu City.

Gaodu City is related to the retreat of the army led by Wei Yan. At this time, when Wei Yan heard an urgent letter from his son Wei Chang, Wei Yan's heart skipped a beat.

He didn't care about the presence of so many people, so he snatched the letter from the guard's hand directly.

I couldn't wait to dismantle half of it, and reacted again, and ordered:

"Temporarily rest, standby!"

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly walked to a place where no one was there, took out the letter, and glanced at it at first glance. Even though Wei Yan had seen strong winds and waves, his hands still couldn't help shaking!

"impossible!"

Before Wei Yan could read the contents of the letter, he became furious: "Absolutely impossible!"

He kneaded the letter into a ball tightly and squeezed it tightly, the veins on the back of his hand popped.

Heavy breathing, huffing and wheezing, like a cow panting.

The original maroon face turned white at first, then blue, and then turned blood red.

"Traitor!"

Wei Yan finally squeezed out these two words between his teeth.

There are not many words in the letter, but almost every word hit Wei Yan's heart:

"The thieves are powerful, the last general has few soldiers, and the city cannot be defended. I have prepared to retreat to Gaoping Pass according to the general's order."

My order?

Is this what Laozi's order means!

How many days have you been guarding this?

few days!

waste!

Wei Yan gritted his teeth and tore the letter to pieces.

"I've been with this old man for so many years, but I can't even defend such a dangerous place as Gaoducheng, what use are you for!"

Once Gaodu City is lost, Gaoping Pass is the last retreat.

But if you can't even defend Gaodu City, can Gaoping Pass be able to defend it?

Thinking of this, Wei Yan couldn't help laughing angrily. At the end of the laugh, his voice was like a night owl:

"Hahaha……"

The guards were terrified when they saw Junhou suddenly going crazy over there.

Not sure what happened.

The captain of the personal guard who was pushed past boldly asked:

"Your Majesty?"

After Wei Yan laughed, he made two hoo hoo, his expression was a little blank, and he could only hear him order:

"Order, let the soldiers return."

"Retired?"

When Wang Han and Wen Shi got the news, they couldn't believe their ears immediately.

Actually retreated at a critical moment?

Wang Han, who was always paying attention to the battlefield, swiped his fingers across the palm of his hand, feeling that the palm of his hand was still wet with sweat.

Seeing that the engineering battalion was about to be forced to enter the field, he was prepared to forcibly disobey in case something got out of hand, but he didn't expect to suddenly retreat from the front?

Could this be...God help me?

"what happened?"

"I don't know. After General Zuo Hussar ordered the troops to retreat, he sent someone to invite the two generals to discuss matters."

"Proceedings?"

Hearing this word, Wang Han and Wen Shi's hearts suddenly lifted again.

Could it be that I was thinking wrong, and the left hussar general forced the engineering battalion to go into battle now?

But……

That's not right either.

Wen Shi has always been involved in matters concerning the engineering camp.

It was never said that even Wang Han, the captain of the guard, had to go there.

Thinking in this way, the two of them came to the handsome camp with some doubts and some uneasiness.

After entering the commander's camp, it was discovered that all the generals and schools of the army seemed to have been called over.

"Is everyone here?"

After hearing this voice, Wang Han looked up subconsciously.

But seeing the person sitting behind Shuai's case, it was Wei Yan who was right.

It's just that the voice is no longer as loud and full of energy as usual.

Instead, there was an exhausted smell in the hoarseness.

I don't know if it's Wang Han's illusion, but he feels that Wei Yan's expression is a little gray at this time, he has no energy, and even his body has collapsed?

"Your Majesty, everything is here."

Wei Yan nodded and stood up.

Wang Han couldn't help but glanced again.

It was unmistakable, at this time Wei Yan no longer had the aggressive aura of the past.

This has never been seen in Wei Yan.

"I called you here because there is something I want to tell you."

Wei Yan didn't delay too much, and said straight to the point:

"I am highly trusted by the emperor, and I am the governor of the two important places of Hedong and Shangdang. I want to lead the princes to show their strengths and make some achievements."

"I didn't expect the thief to be cunning and vicious. He didn't dare to confront me head-on, but he used tricks to take Shangdang away."

Speaking of this, Wei Yanchang let out a long breath, glanced at the crowd, opened his mouth, and stopped talking.

But in the end he said with some difficulty:

"This is my carelessness, and I have failed His Majesty's trust..."

Saying this sentence with difficulty, Wei Yan felt as if he had lost half his life.

He deliberately did not look at the people below, and hurriedly continued:

"So in order to save the Shangdang war, I led the army back to the division. I originally wanted to take advantage of the thieves' unstable foothold and regain Shangdang."

"However, the thieves have been prepared for a long time. We have been fighting hard for several days. Seeing that the broken city is in sight, no one expects to defend..."

Hearing this, the crowd finally broke into a commotion.

Gaodu City lost?

"General, if Gaodu falls, the army's retreat will be in danger!"

Someone couldn't help but said.

Wei Yanchang sighed: "Why don't I know? That's why I called you here."

"My original intention was to capture the eldest son. In this way, I can enter to threaten Huguan, and retreat to hold the city and wait for reinforcements."

"Who would have thought that Gaoducheng would fall at this time..." Wei Yan couldn't help becoming a little annoyed, "It can be said that God is not helping me!"

The generals are silent.

Take the eldest son and defend the city.

Probably the left hussar general has such confidence.

In the past few months, the army first attacked Gaodu, and then returned to attack the eldest son.

Casualties were not insignificant.

Even the most elite soldiers can't stand such a toss.

If it weren't for the soldiers below, many of them were brought out by the general for many years.

I'm afraid that people's hearts have been floating for a long time, and they have the idea of ​​​​retiring.

"Then what is the general's plan now?"

"The eldest son can't stay for a long time. I decided to divide the army into two parts. One part will go to Gaoping Pass first and join Wei Chang."

"The remaining one will be led by me personally as the queen."

Wang Han and Wen Shi looked at each other involuntarily, both of them were surprised.

They didn't expect that Wei Yan, who wanted to capture the eldest son at all costs, would retreat so decisively.

And many people in the tent had faint joy hidden on their faces.

"General, now that the soldiers are tired and war-weary, it might not be a good idea to retreat to Gaoping Pass to rest."

Seeing the reactions of everyone in the tent, Wei Yan didn't say anything on the surface, but a sense of sadness welled up in his heart.

Not to mention that the soldiers below are war-weary, I am afraid that even the generals have the intention of retreating.

In this battle, it is difficult to reverse the situation.

Wei Yan thought to himself, and ordered a few casual orders to keep a few confidantes behind.

For the rest, let them go back to reorganize the army and withdraw at any time.

After the others withdrew, the few left behind looked around, and one of them stood up:

"Your Majesty, with only our small number of troops, if the thief really comes out of the city from the eldest son to chase after him, I'm afraid..."

"Afraid of what? I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

Wei Yan seemed to have anticipated their reaction, and said, "Even if the thief catches up, I will be the first one to rush up."

"Your Majesty?!"

Several people were startled, all of them felt ominous.

Wei Yan turned around and sat down after returning to Shuai's case. His face seemed to have grown old in an instant, and he said slowly:

"The Shangdang was lost. I first failed the trust of the emperor, and then made the soldiers exhausted and died innocently."

"This time I will take the initiative to cut off the rear, so that the remaining soldiers can reach Gaoping Pass safely. This is the last thing I will do for them."

Having said this, Wei Yan raised his head and said to them:

"You are all old brothers who have followed me for many years, and the people under my command are also my most trusted soldiers."

"You guys go back and tell them that after this break, there will be bad luck, and I won't force them."

"If they are willing to stay, that would be the best. If they are concerned about the family members, they can return to Gaoping Pass first."

Several confidantes were shocked immediately, and quickly expressed their loyalty:

"How did Junhou say this? Since Junhou said that we are old brothers and the last general is waiting for others, how can he abandon Junhou? He must swear to follow the general to the death."

When entering the army, one should be mentally prepared to die in battle.

Charge into the battle, climb first to capture the flag, and cover after the break... There will always be a day.

But this time, in private, he was fighting with the prince, and in public, he was fighting for the country.

What are you afraid of?

"Okay!"

Wei Yan showed a little relief on his face, "Since that's the case, why should we be afraid of thieves if we are all in one mind?"

Wei Yan can be regarded as a veteran in the army at any rate, Wei Chang's letter is like a basin of cold water, completely waking him up who was on the verge of losing his mind.

Wei Yan, who had regained his composure, began to arrange for the retreat in an orderly manner.

Sun Li, Guo Xun and others, who had been waiting for the Han army to attack the city, hurried to the city to wait and see after realizing that the offensive on the other side had stopped suddenly.

When Sun Li saw the movements of the Han army, his heart tightened involuntarily:

"Not good! Wei Yan is about to retreat!"

"Could it be that the bandit army was exhausted, and Wei Yan knew that he couldn't attack the eldest son, so he retreated?"

Although Guo Xun followed Wei Yan in the army for a long time, he never led the army in battle.

At this time, we can see signs of Wei Yan's retreat, but no more information:

"Shall we go after it?"

When Sun Li heard the words, he pondered for a moment:

"I see that the bandits retreated in an orderly manner, busy but not chaotic. It was not because they retreated in a panic, there must be an army after the end."

"However, if we just watch the thief retreat like this, I'm afraid it will hurt the morale of the army again."

The rumor of being as fearful of Shu as a tiger had been spread in Guanzhong for many years in the early years.

Now that it was finally a chance to win the round, it was impossible for Sun Li to show fear at this time.

I only heard him say:

"Mr. Guo, keep the city and wait for my leader to test it out in person."

When Guo Xun heard that Sun Li was going to lead the army in person, he couldn't help reminding:

"Wei Yan is a fierce general among the thieves. Although he was defeated this time, he should not be underestimated. General Sun still has to be careful."

Sun Li nodded:

"Thank you sir for reminding me, I will be careful."

After saying that, Sun Li went down from the top of the city, ordered all the soldiers and horses to rush out of the city.

"Your Majesty, the bandits are chasing you out of the city!"

"Well, I see it."

Wei Yan's army reined in their horses and stood by the moat.

In front of him is the passage that many soldiers have filled up with their lives in the past few days.

Behind him, there are three thousand elite Han troops standing in formation.

After Sun Li led the army out of the city, he didn't dare to step forward easily.

While letting the Wei army line up in the city, with the infantry in the middle, he specially let Qianqi surround the two wings.

Then send someone forward to ask who is blocking the way.

When he found out that Wei Yan was personally leading the army, Sun Li broke out in a cold sweat, and then sent someone to say:

"Wei Junhou, is this planning to retreat? Didn't you say that you want to swear to destroy the eldest son city?"

Wei Yan sneered and asked someone to answer:

"I still lead the army here, why do you want to retreat?"

After Sun Li confirmed that Wei Yan personally led the army, he saw the strict formation of the Han army on the other side of the moat, and his heart suddenly became suspicious.

Wei Yan is the leader of the bandit army, and he will lead the army on the opposite side. Isn't he going to retreat?

After thinking about it left and right, he couldn't understand it, so he didn't dare to send troops forward easily.

Guo Xun, who was on the top of the city, could see clearly that most of the Han army had withdrawn except for the troops left in the formation.

Seeing that Sun Li was still standing still, he quickly sent someone to inform Sun Li:

"General Sun, most of the bandit army has traveled far!"

When Sun Li heard about it, he couldn't hold back immediately, and began to mobilize his soldiers and horses, pressing them over.

Seeing this, Wei Yan laughed:

"Thief, I won't be able to attack the city for war, but I didn't expect you to come to my door now!"

"Come on, let me see how capable you are!"

"Prepare!"

The crossbowmen of the Han army tensed their bowstrings with a "wow".

Wei Jun began to run forward in small steps.

"put!"

"Puff!"

The rain of arrows shot by a thousand or so crossbowmen was naturally not dense enough.

Some of Wei Jun's front pawns fell down, but most of them continued to charge forward.

At the same time, because Guo Xun sent timely information on the formation of the Han army at the top of the city, Sun Li quickly surrounded the cavalry on both wings.

Wei Yan raised his binoculars and saw Wei Jun's intentions.

He sneered, handed the binoculars to the guard beside him, and ordered:

"destroyed."

The personal guard trembled slightly when he heard the words, but he didn't say much, he just replied "Here".

If you fall into death, you can't get rid of it, and the heavy weapons in the army must be destroyed.

This is the rule in the Han army.

Telescopes are heavyweights.

This is Junhou, he already has the intention of fighting to the death!

"Play it again!"

The second wave of arrow rain is less than the first wave.

The third wave...

At the fourth wave, there were no arrows, only arrow feathers.

The whistle sounded again.

The crossbowmen retreated into the battle, put down their crossbows, and picked up their weapons.

At this time, there was already a shout of killing in front of him.

Wei Yan raised his long knife and clamped the horse's belly, his eyes were burning with fighting intent:

"Come on, thief!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Follow!"

"kill!"

The two armies collided fiercely under the eldest son city.

Encouraged by the general to go into battle, the morale of the Han army was extremely high, and the Wei army rushed forward, the formation was a little messy, and some of them were shot to death by arrows earlier.

Facing the charge of the Han army, the front of the Wei army was suddenly dispersed.

"The thief is dead!"

Wei Yan brandished a big knife and stirred into the formation, where the blade passed, blood lines floated up!
