On the south bank of the Wei River, Li Jue's military camp.
Originally, they thought they could intercept and kill Guo Si during the raid, and then successfully capture his men and become the overlord of Guanzhong. Unexpectedly, they failed from the beginning. Now that the two sides are facing each other on the Weishui River, food and grass have become a big headache. .
For the raid, there was not much food and grass brought out. The Guanlong gentry hated the Xiliang people very much, and they were unwilling to provide food to support them, so they could only rob and conscript them, which led to the growing hatred between the gentry and the Xiliang people. The deeper.
If he wants to gain a foothold in Guanzhong after annexing Guo Si, these nobles cannot be offended too much, and the methods of collecting food cannot be too tough, so the food and grass in his army are already stretched.
Can't wait any longer.
Li Jue decided to cross the Wei River to attack the camp tonight and must annihilate Guo Si.
It's almost three o'clock.
When Duan Xuan and Jia Xu were preparing to leave, someone from Li Jue's side came to deliver an order, asking him to go to the Chinese army's tent to discuss matters.
At this critical moment, Li Jue called him over, and Duan Xuan was frightened. Could it be that Li Jue found out? He hurriedly ran to Jia Xu and asked him to find a solution.
Jia Xu said: "I'm afraid that Li Jue is short of food and will attack Guo Si's camp at night. We can't delay it any longer."
"What about our plan?"
"constant!"
"constant?"
"Well, you go to discuss the matter first and see what the outcome is. I will immediately send someone to inform General Wei Yan to let him act according to the situation. At the same time, I will find a way to let Guo Si know about Li Jue's attack on the camp."
"You mean to let them both suffer first?"
Jia Xu nodded.
After Duan Xuan got ready, he took hundreds of personal guards to the tent of Li Jue's Chinese army.
As expected by Jia Xu, Li Jue was going to attack the camp; in order not to attract the attention of Guo Si on the opposite side, Li Jue asked Duan Xuan to lead his troops to stay on the south bank. The camp was filled with braziers and flags planted to make it suspicious, and he personally led 20,000 people. Cross the river from the upper reaches of the Wei River.
Duan Xuan nodded in agreement.
Li Jue led his men and horses, wrapped in armor and holding medals in their hands, to exit the camp from behind and headed upstream on the Wei River. Duan Xuan led his troops to garrison Li Jue's Chinese army tent as a suspect. After Li Jue left, Duan Xuan tied the secret letter to an arrow, drew his bow and shot towards Guo Si's military camp.
Guo Bang was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by his subordinates. He was very unhappy and wanted to scold him, but was blocked by a secret letter in his hands.
After reading the secret message, Guo Bang woke up in shock.
He screamed angrily: "Yeah - Li Jue wants to attack my camp at night again, okay! I'll let you come and go without any return tonight, um... where does this letter come from?"
The general said: "Shoot from the other side."
"Huh? On the other side?" Guo Si was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "He, Li Jue's men, didn't know he was rebelling, and he still had the idea to attack our camp at night, huh! He's done with it this time!"
Immediately, he ordered his troops to retreat, leaving an empty camp, waiting for Li Jue to fall into his trap.
In about an hour, all of Li Jue's men and horses crossed the Wei River and headed towards Guo Si's military camp. In order to ensure the success of this sneak attack, Li Jue led his men and horses secretly to about ten miles away from Guo Si's military camp at night.
This distance can ensure that the war horse can fully gallop and exert its maximum combat power.
"kill--!"
Li Jue roared angrily, clamped the horse's belly, held the reins with one hand, and held the long knife with the other. He lowered his body to maintain maximum charging speed, and galloped towards Guo Si's military camp.
The sound of horse hooves roared like thunder on the ground, resounding through the night sky.
Guo Bang, who was far behind, heard the sound of horse hooves and gritted his teeth in hatred: "Ah - you little Li Jue kid really came to attack the camp. I will make sure you never come back tonight!"
For a war horse, a distance of ten miles can be reached in an instant.
After breaking through Guo Si's military camp, Li Jue took the lead and charged towards Guo Si's Chinese army tent. His eyes glowed red with excitement, and the overlord in his heart swelled with pride.
His soldiers followed him into the military camp, only to find it was an empty camp.
After Li Jue rushed into the tent, he broke into a cold sweat.
Then, he keenly felt that the ground began to shake. This was the shock of a large number of cavalry charging, and he actually fell into the trap.
He immediately rushed out of the military tent and mounted his horse. He turned around and saw that Guo Si's men and horses were surrounding him from all directions. Guo Si rushed in at the lead and laughed: "Little Li Jue, you will die here tonight!"
Then he ordered: "Fire the arrow!"
Suddenly, there was a thunderous sound, and in the night, the gleaming arrows crossed a perfect parabola and shot towards Li Jue's army.
Suddenly, the sound of a sharp sword penetrating through flesh was heard, followed by a large scream.
Li Jue was surprised and asked: "How can you see through my plan?"
Guo Bang laughed: "The rebellion under my command has not yet been resolved, and you dare to interfere in my affairs. Your life is at risk tonight!"
"Ah——!" Li Jue shouted angrily, "Duan Xuan mistaken me!"
"kill--!"
Guo Si won the power and showed no mercy. He slapped his horse and ordered the whole army to kill him. In order to prevent Li Jue from having a chance to escape, soldiers and horses surrounded him from three directions, leaving only the Wei River in the south. This time, Li Jue had absolutely nowhere to escape.
Li Jue didn't want to die here. The fantasy in his heart had not yet been realized. At the same time, he also understood that Guo Bang was a person who was afraid of death. He had a chance to survive only if he didn't die.
He raised his sword, led the cavalry, and killed Guo Si without hesitation, roaring with a ferocious face: "Guo Si, my son, I will die with you!"
Facing Li Jue's fight with a trapped beast, Guo Bang was not afraid of him.
The two have been at odds for many years. In Guo Si's words, he understands Li Jue like a farmer understands dung. How could he not know that Li Jue is desperately trying to survive?
Huangbaicheng is behind him. As long as Li Jue breaks through the siege, he can return to Huangbaicheng. Once he reaches Huangbaicheng, Guo Bin will have nothing to do with him; no, Li Jue killed his wife, daughter and beloved son, and he will never let Li Jue. Jue returns alive.
"kill!"
Guo Si patted his horse and raised his sword to kill Li Jue.
Under the leadership of the two generals, the cavalry from both sides launched a confrontation. The rumbling vibrations caused the stones on the ground to bounce up and prevent them from landing safely.
…
At this time, Wei Yan led his army to ten miles away from the south bank of the Wei River to wait for news. From such a distance, Wei Yan could still hear the cavalry fighting and screams on the north bank of the Wei River.
"General!" Tan Ma reported, "Li Jue and Guo Si are engaged in a decisive battle on the north bank of the Weishui River. The military advisor has given an order: Duan Xuan will lead his army across the river from the lower reaches, and the general will lead his army across the river from the upstream. When the decisive battle is over, they will be flanked."
Wei Yan nodded: "I understand."
Unexpectedly, the attack on Guanzhong would go so smoothly. Wei Yan admired Zhang Xiu's layout. After capturing the Guanzhong Plain, their territory would expand several times. By then, they would have more than a few thousand soldiers and horses, and he would Be able to become an independent general.
Wei Yan became excited and looked towards the north bank of the Weishui River. He saw the illustrious military exploits.
He slowly raised his long knife and shouted sternly: "Let's go!"
Clamping the horse's belly, he held the reins and headed upstream on the Wei River. The cool breeze blowing in front of him made him feel happy and comfortable.
Gan Ning and Ji Ling haven't come yet.
Under Jia Xu's plan, Li Jue and Guo Bang started killing each other. This was his chance to kill them all in one fell swoop.
He had already seen Gan Ning's strength. He was very strong in both water and land combat. He was his strong comrade and opponent.
But the first achievement in entering Guanzhong was none other than him.
Wei Yan felt a hot flush all over his body and galloped towards the Wei River.
