Chapter 208 The first appearance (2)
"Stop the door! The most important thing now is to defend the city, not a battle of will. You must never let the Nanzhao troops step into the Xuexue Pass. This is the purpose of our guarding the border. Wait for reinforcements!"
The young general looked at him in disbelief and asked, "Is it too late for reinforcements?" They only had 80,000 defenders, and the Nanzhao army surrounding them and the troops of King Li of Lingzhou who were surrounded by them had at least more than 300,000 troops. Murong Shen was silent for a moment and said firmly: "It's too late, as long as we can defend the Xuexue Pass. Therefore, don't make unnecessary battles."
Unwillingly glanced at the Nanzhao people shouting under the city, and the young general gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, general."
"General!" The message soldiers hurriedly came, "General, come forward to report to the General of Yongzhou, Lord Wu Chengliang, led 20,000 troops to reinforce. As soon as he crossed the Yunlan River, he was ambushed and Lord Wu died!"
Everyone present couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Murong Shen felt a dizzy sound in front of him. He quickly stabilized and said, "How could it be? Why is King Li so fast?!"
"Report! General, the prefect of Yongzhou opened the city last night and surrendered King Li. This morning, the King Li's army broke through Qingyuan City, and the vanguard was afraid that it would reach outside Yonglin City this evening." The generals were in their hearts. Originally, there were not many defenders in Yongzhou. As the highest official in Yongzhou, the prefect of Yongzhou actually surrendered King Li. No wonder King Li's army was so powerful that it was unstoppable along the way. So soon, let alone thinking that it could be delayed for ten days, I was afraid that it would be surrounded by Thunder Snow Pass. Thinking of this, everyone was filled with coldness. Murong Shen laughed in anger, "Okay! What a prefect of Yongzhou! Who would like to defend Yonglin City?"
Several young generals shot out at the same time, "General, my subordinates are willing to go!"
Murong Shen looked at the young man with a solemn expression in front of him, nodded and said, "Okay, Yunting, Xia Shu, I will give you 20,000 troops to guard Yonglin. Do you understand?"
"Yes, general." The two young men responded in unison, and turned around and went out after receiving the military order. No one asked how to defend Yonglin for 20,000 people and how long it would take. Looking at the backs of the two young men going out, Murong Shen glanced at the generals present and said, "We are the same, guarding the Snow Pass. Do you understand?"
"Yes! General."
The Yonglin small town, which was once quiet, is now in a state of solemnity, with shops on both sides of the street closed, and half a pedestrian was missing on the street. Compared to the dullness and depression of Shuxue Shuo Shuo, the city under Yonglin was already filled with swords and blood. Under the city wall, the siege soldiers who set up ladders tried their best to climb up the city wall, but were forced down with stones and bows and arrows by the people on the city tower. The people in front fell down, and naturally someone behind them were repaired one after another. The soldiers on the city tower were also shot down by the gods below from time to time, and they fell to the city without recognizing. At this time, no one went back to care about these things, and everyone could only fight wildly. Everyone forgot that they were also from the Great Chu people, and they were once comrades. On one side, only you die, and I live.
"How is it? I'll go first?" On the city wall, two young generals looked solemn.
"I'll first!" Drawing out the sword, the young general turned around and left.
The person who was left behind looked at the far away snorted helplessly, turned around and drew his sword and slashed down a person who was shooting the soldier who wanted to climb up the city tower.
The city gate was opened, and the young general rushed out with a team of people, rushed into the enemy's formation and stormed and slashed the pressure on the city wall. The young general took the lead and slashed countless people along the way. Soon a burly middle-aged man blocked his way. The middle-aged man held a big knife and swept away the people around him, mocking: "Is there no one under Murong Shen? He actually sent a young man who was still young and unfilthy to stop me from the general's way! Those who knew the truth immediately opened Yonglin City for me, and I will spare you!" The young general sneered with a sword eyebrows, "Young master's subordinates do not accept the nameless ghost. Where did the traitors come from to report to me, I will leave you a whole body!"
"This general is the vanguard of the Western Army personally appointed by His Highness Li, Sun Wei!"
The young general rolled his eyes, "It turned out to be the rebel Mo Jingli, Sun Wei... I haven't heard of it, so I'll die obediently!" The sword in his hand was fast and cruel, and he ruthlessly slashed at the man who claimed to be the vanguard of the Western Army. The man who was even more surprised was in a hurry and finally died in the hands of the young boy he looked down upon. The young general spat disdainfully, "I dare to show off his power in front of me?" The vanguard was killed, and the siege army suddenly had a chaos in the formation. The general who was guarding the city took the opportunity to fight out. Soon, the army that siege the city retreated in a hurry.
"Xia Shu, how about it?" Back to the city, looking at the enemy's retreat, looking at the embarrassing appearance of the enemy's retreat, and just showed his depressed young general who had just shown his depressedness in the past few days was illegal. The young man named Xia Shu looked into the distance and frowned and said, "This should be just the vanguard of the opponent's way forward. Although he killed them, but when the real elite came..." The young general couldn't help but frown. The joy of victory just now gradually dissipated. Not to mention more than 100,000 troops, even more than 100,000 pigs could trample them to death. It would be difficult for 20,000 people to defend the city, let alone go out to meet the enemy. Yonglin City is no better than Thunder Snow Pass. If they can't stand, the army of King Li might bypass Yonglin first. Although it is a little troublesome, it is not impossible. Once the Thunder Snow Pass is taken, their lonely city with only 20,000 people is simply the thing in his pocket.
"Don't worry about him, I'll call him back like a master when I come! I, Yun Ting, are not a greedy person who is afraid of death!" the young general snorted.
Xia Shu gradually smiled, "I said it well. I will say it first, it's my turn to the next game."
Perhaps it was because the pioneers who were leading the way were defeated and the soldiers behind came slowly than they thought. It was not until the next morning that they heard the sound of war drums outside the city. Xia Shu and Yun Ting stood on the city tower and looked down, and Yun Ting couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Mo Jingli has brought out all the soldiers in Lingzhou?" Yonglin City was not wide in front, but at a glance the shaking of the flags made people feel a little unwilling to estimate the number. Xia Shu whispered: "When I was in the capital before, I heard that King Li was a fool, but now it seems not entirely." Seeing that King Li's army and horse formations under the city were rigorous and neat, it was actually very lusty. It didn't look like an army that could be brought out by a fool. Yun Ting curled his lips and said, "Either he has a master under his command, or he pretended to be crazy and stupid. Can a fool raise an army to rebel? That's a madman."
Several people from the other party slapped out, and one of the middle-aged men, who was obviously not a military general, shouted to the upstairs: "Listen, the guard above, immediately open the city gate and let us go."
Yun Ting curled his lips, "Who are you? You can just let it go?"
The middle-aged man said, "I am the prefect of Yongzhou. Yongzhou has already surrendered to His Highness King Li. You should open the city gate immediately and invite His Highness King Li to enter the city!" Hearing this, Yun Ting couldn't help but curse, "Who do you think you are? It turns out that this traitor. If you have a way in heaven, you should find a place to hide and dare to show off when you become a traitor." He pulled out the bow and arrow behind the soldiers beside him, and shot at the prefect of Yongzhou without hesitation.
