Yacheng.
Like Ding County, it is a city located deep in the mountains. In the hands of Liaodong generals, its city could only be regarded as unsatisfactory.
After the Meng Yuan people took over, they immediately repaired the city. The current city is strong and tall. It is extremely difficult to attack this county head-on.
There were three Han commanders guarding the city, but now only one Han commander named Li Chun was left.
In the city.
In Li Chun's mansion, inside the main room. Li Chun stood up, his face changed drastically and said, "What did you say? Wu Nian actually defeated Wanhu Jinhuan Mountain in Bohu Valley. Come straight to Yacheng?"
Li Chun is thirty-two years old this year. He is not a general, but a master among the people. In the arena, he is quite famous. He also thought he was extremely brave, but after hearing the news, he still took a breath and was deeply shocked.
This is the Meng Yuan Wanhu General, a peerless general.
Theoretically speaking, a Mongolian and Yuan household commander with ten thousand soldiers and horses can defeat 100,000 soldiers of Liaodong generals.
Of course only in field battles.
He was actually defeated by Wu Nian?
Wu Nian, the general who assisted the Han Dynasty in Beishan Fort, was really a formidable opponent. And now this terrifying opponent is coming to attack Yacheng?
Wu Nian was out of food and his eyes were glowing green.
This is a hungry wild wolf, and its combat power has increased dramatically.
I only have the strength of a thousand captains, how can I defend the city?
Li Chun couldn't help but feel afraid when he thought of this.
It's really a powerful enemy.
There is fear for one's life.
In front of Li Chun stood a bent-over Meng Yuan warrior. He is a personal soldier of Jin Ruiyun. He first glanced at Li Chun contemptuously and thought to himself, the Han captain really has no courage.
Let them defend the city, just so-so.
Although it is contemptuous, it is something that should be conveyed. The Meng Yuan warriors still wanted to convey something. He nodded and said, "Yes. But don't worry, sir. Our families have gathered seven or eight hundred cavalry to support us. Most of them are our Mongolian warriors. Unless Wu Nian has one If we have tens of thousands of soldiers, we will never be able to capture Ya City."
When he talked about the Meng Yuan soldiers, he held his head high and was full of pride.
Although he was defeated by Wu Nian many times, this time even Jin Huanshan was defeated. But the pride of the Mongolian people as a fighting nation will not collapse easily.
"That's great. In this way, Yacheng is as solid as a rock." Li Chun was overjoyed and nodded heavily.
This defense of the city is still different from fighting in the field.
He has more than a thousand soldiers and horses, plus seven or eight hundred cavalry, there are nearly two thousand people. There are hundreds of Mongolian and Yuan soldiers among them. Can they still defend a city?
I wouldn't believe it even if I beat him to death.
"Come here. Send the order immediately. Go to the city to transport the defense materials. Also tell the county magistrate to be ready to call in the best."
"Cheer up, everyone. What we have to face is Wu Nian from Beishan Fort."
"Liaodong tiger."
Li Chun took a deep breath and then gave an order loudly.
"Yes." Li Chun's soldiers guarding the door responded loudly, and immediately went down to deliver the order. Immediately, the entire Ya City was alarmed.
The soldiers guarding the city began to carry the supplies for the city defense, and four teams quickly took over the city gate. Regardless of the people's shock, they closed the city gate rudely.
People inside and outside the city are not allowed to enter or leave.
Soon after, Li Chun put on his armor and left the mansion. He got on his horse, led dozens of soldiers, and galloped towards the east wall.
After turning over and dismounting, he held the handle of the knife at his waist and climbed up the city wall at a fast pace. He said loudly to the soldiers guarding the city: "Brothers, Wu Nian is right to call him the Tiger of Liaodong. But I, Li Chun, am not unworthy of him. If he dares to come to my city, I will let him have his teeth broken."
"In addition, there are seven to eight hundred Mongolian soldiers who will rush over immediately to support us. We will defend the city together. When General Pu comes back, everyone will be rewarded."
"Brothers, the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune is right before your eyes. Take courage, pull out your steel sword, and go for it yourself."
The Han soldiers in the city have been training for nearly a year. There was some momentum. After hearing Li Chun's words, he immediately became energetic and responded loudly.
"yes."
"Okay. Very good." Li Chun laughed loudly, then pressed the handle of the knife and inspected the city wall. After finishing the work, he turned back and told the soldiers beside him: "If you want people to work hard, you have to eat them well. Slaughter all the live pigs we have stored immediately. Reward the soldiers and boost their morale."
"Yes." The soldier responded, immediately turned the horse's head and rode off.
"Wu Nian. Come on. I, Li Chun, want to meet you in Yacheng." Li Chun was full of confidence, put his hands on his hips, and sneered.
Immediately, he got on his horse and returned to the mansion aggressively with his soldiers.
............
evening.
Under the guidance of his guide, Wu Nian stayed in an unknown valley and ordered the Huotou Army to bury pots and make rice. Because there was no tent, everyone sat on the ground.
Wu Nian took advantage of this time to take a bath and change into a set of clean clothes. Cleaned the armor and put it on.
Then he led a group of soldiers and patrolled the valley with a steel knife in his left hand.
There were cries of women and children, and there were also wails of wounded soldiers, but most of them were strong soldiers with resolute faces, as if they were made of steel.
Seeing Wu Nian patrolling the valley, both soldiers and civilians stood up and bowed to Wu Nian. Wu Young nodded lightly in response.
After touring the valley, Wu Nian came and sat down in front of the steaming iron pot. Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng had been waiting for a long time.
Inside the iron pot is a hodgepodge of dried meat, flatbread, and wild vegetables cooked together, with a little salt added. It's smelling delicious.
Zhang Sheng picked up the bowl, picked up the spoon, and filled a bowl for Wu Nian first.
Wu Nian nodded and reached out to take it, but instead of eating or drinking immediately, he put it down and waited for it to cool down.
"Calculate the time. Yacheng should have been fooled. After eating this meal and resting for a while, we will set off immediately. Let the soldiers go to bed immediately after eating."
"In addition, I thought about it. We can divide it into two teams. The civilians and wounded soldiers can rest more and wait until midnight before taking action."
"Especially the wounded soldiers. Resting a little longer may save their lives."
Wu Nian said seriously.
It's a bit dangerous to leave people here. But Wu Nian felt that the Meng Yuan households who had been beaten by him should be very cautious.
It shouldn't be a big deal.
"yes."
Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng naturally had no objection and nodded in unison. Immediately, the two of them also scooped up the hodgepodge and ate and drank with Wu Nian.
After filling my stomach, it was getting dark. I rested for about half an hour. Wu Nian led Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng, together with the uninjured elite soldiers and militiamen, carrying ladders, and marched along the wide road for about three miles, then turned into the Yunshan Trail, abandoned Yacheng, and rushed straight to Chongxian County. And go.
You think I want to attack here, but actually I want to attack here.
This is called surprise.
