Chapter 340: Defeating Yan Xing
Fortunately, Han Sui did not directly tell these soldiers that they would return to Guzang, otherwise these soldiers would have mood swings, and someone might have fled in the middle of the night. After all, their families are still in Jincheng, and they are also worried about the safety of their families.
However, Han Sui didn't know that it was the delay of this night that made him lose the opportunity to control Wuwei forever, because Wei Yan did not stop after his victory and immediately led his army to Guzang. Although he also knew that this was an excellent opportunity to occupy Jincheng, Wei Yan knew even more that occupying Guzang and controlling Wuwei was his biggest goal of this trip. As long as he firmly controlled Wuwei, Jincheng would sooner or later belong to his side.
The soldiers under Wei Yan's command had just won a big victory and their morale was in high spirits. In addition, the soldiers under him had dried food and bacon prepared by Pei Qing for them, which was easy to carry and could quickly replenish their physical strength, so they could set off immediately without feeling tired.
Because he was advancing at full speed and because the war horses were given sufficient rest during the ambush, Wei Yan's army marched very quickly and arrived at the city of Guzang in just one day.
It was the time to dusk, because Wei Yan and the others were wearing armor picked up from Han Sui's killing soldiers, and they were beaten by Han Sui's generals. In addition, it was at night that they could not see clearly. The Yan surname, who was stationed in Guzang City, thought it was his own. He only asked about the name and purpose of the commander under the city, but was easily fooled by Wei Yan. After all, a few people in this team surrendered to Wei Yan, so Wei Yan could naturally easily learn the name of Han Sui's generals. As for the purpose, it was actually very simple. Wei Yan only said that Han Sui was worried that Guzang City's defense was weak and he was uneasy, so he transferred them into the city to coordinate the defense.
Yan Xing ordered the city gate to be opened without any doubt.
It’s not that Yan Xing had no brains, but that he could not have thought that Wei Yan would arrive at the city in such a short time, because he would never have thought that Wei Yan would set up an ambush two hundred miles away from Guzang City to defeat Han Sui, and immediately led his army back to Guzang City.
So when the city gate opened and the defenseless Yan was suddenly attacked by the opponent, he still looked confused.
One was planning for a long time, and the other was unprepared. How could Yan Xing defend it in this situation? In an instant, the soldiers of the Han army went down the mountain like tigers, slaughtering the Xiliang soldiers caught off guard. By the time Yan Xing reacted, four or five hundred people had already fallen into a pool of blood.
Originally, if it was a large army to fight, four or five hundred people would not be anything, but now there are only a few people in Yan Zhan’s army? This is equivalent to Yan Xing’s army directly losing 10% of it, and it also caused the soldiers of the entire army to panic, with a chaos in the formation and no way to defend the enemy.
Yan Xing was furious after seeing this scene. Only then did he realize that he had fallen into the trap. It was obvious that the enemy was wearing his own outfit, sneaking into the city under his own banner, and launching a sudden siege.
However, Yan Xing did not think that he would definitely fail. Although the opponent caught him off guard, his main force still existed. In this case, he was not without the power to compete.
Therefore, Yan Xing restrained his soldiers with his prestige in the army, assembled his team, and prepared to launch a counterattack against Wei Yan.
Facts proved that Yan Xing still had a certain prestige in the army. Soon after, he had organized a team of hundreds of people and led the team to launch a counterattack towards Wei Yan.
Yan Xing relied on his courage. Even Ma Chao almost died under his command. Isn’t a small Wei Yan easy to defeat?
In fact, Yan Xing had heard of Wei Yan's courage for a long time, but in his opinion, Wei Yan's courage was only at the level of an ordinary second-rate general, even Ma Chao was inferior, let alone compared to himself. He hated that he was escorting food and grass during the last encounter between Han Sui and Wei Yan, and was not in the army at all. Otherwise, with his courage, he would be able to capture and kill Wei Yan on the spot, thus turning the tide and rewriting the situation.
Now that Wei Yan is in front of him, Yan Xing is not only not panic, but is also a little excited. In his opinion, if Wei Yan can be captured and killed in this battle and rewrite the situation, he will definitely be famous all over the world from now on!
"Wei Yan, I really didn't expect that you, a 2,000-stone official, would pretend to be our general and make a fraud to make a profit in the city. Are you shy? Yan Xing, Jincheng, is here, junior, come here."
While scolding Wei Yan, Yan Xing rode his horse and spear forward, trying to capture and kill Wei Yan, making him famous all over the world.
At this time, naturally, the generals around Wei Yan came to stop him. Duan Tong first stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Yan Xing, if you want to deal with General Wei, you are not qualified. Let's go and use two moves with me Duan first."
Yan Xing looked at Duan Tong and snorted coldly: "The thief who is carrying the lord dares to be arrogant in front of me? Well, today I will kill you, the thief, first to punish those who are in power in the world, and then kill Wei Yan's son!"
After saying that, Yan Xingzong stepped forward and danced his gun and took Duan Tong straight.
Duan Tong was not outdone, and he also fought with a gun. However, Yan Xing almost killed Ma Chao after all. Although it was because of the underage Ma Chao's achievements in his carelessness, he would not have been able to achieve such a result without two brushes. Therefore, after only a few rounds of battle between the two sides, Duan Tong was already in danger and was in a difficult situation. Not to mention the power of fighting back, he would not even have the ability to fight back.
"Hmph, now I know that I, Yan Xing, are you so powerful? But it's too late for you to regret it. Little thief, die!" Yan Xing grinned, holding a spear in his hand, and stabbed Duan Tong's lower abdomen directly.
Yan Xing's shot was as fast as thunder, which made people unstoppable. Duan Tong knew it was powerful, but he couldn't avoid it at all. He had to close his eyes and wait for death and sighed silently: "I really didn't expect that Duan Tong would die here. I still thought of making contributions to the present and glorious things like my grandfather Ji Minggong, who was so successful that he was a bit delusional."
However, just when Duan Tong thought he was going to die, he could hear a fierce sound of metal and iron clashing in his ears. This sound vibrated his eardrums and almost made him deaf.
Duan Tong quickly opened his eyes, but saw Wei Yan standing proudly not far beside him, fighting with Yan Xing.
