"What's going on? How did Wuwei Pass fall!"
Lin Zhenyuan emotionally shook the soldier who escaped from Wuweiguan in front of him.
The soldier who escaped did not dare to look into Lin Zhenyuan's eyes, lowered his head and said: "Last night at midnight, a group of Khitan people wearing the clothes of our Wuwei Guards escorted grain and grass supplies into the customs. It was dark at night. I waited for a while. Cha, that’s why I fell into the trap of a Khitan dog thief.”
"More than 3,000 brothers swore to defend the pass to the death. However, under the internal and external attacks of the Khitan dog thieves and the Huns' thieves, Wuwei Pass fell. Except for me who escaped to report the news, the other brothers all died for the country!" the soldier finished. Then he burst into tears sadly.
After hearing this, Lin Zhenyuan stumbled and fell to the ground. Those people in Wuwei Gate were all Lin Zhenyuan's brothers and close friends, but overnight, these people died for their country!
Sad sad sad!
It hurts!
Hate hate hate!
These three emotions were intertwined, making Lin Zhenyuan's eyes glow red, like an evil ghost that chooses people to devour.
The soldiers behind Lin Zhenyuan rushed forward and helped the major general up.
Lin Zhenyuan looked at the thirty-one people left on his side, and said sadly: "We are the only ones left in the Mighty Guard!"
Just after Lin Zhengyu finished saying this, before Lin Zhengyu had time to think about how the Khitans obtained the armor of the Wuwei Guards, the enemy attack signal sounded again from the gate of Pingyang City.
The defenders of Pingyang City were hurriedly responding to the attack. When the Khitan and Xiongnu forces attacked the city, Zhouyi's scouts spread the news of the fall of Wuweiguan to Pingliang County and Hepingjiang County.
Just by learning that the Xiongnu and Khitan were once again allied, Zhouyi deduced that Wuwei Pass was about to fall. The senior leaders of the two cities in Pingliang County and Pingjiang County all admired Zhou Yi's insight into the subtleties.
After predicting in advance that Wuwei Pass was about to fall, everyone in Pingjiang County now had unconditional trust in Zhou Yi.
At this moment, Zhou Yi is like Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the eyes of everyone in Pingjiang County. He is as wise as a demon and can strategize and win a victory thousands of miles away.
Although Pingjiang County does not have Zhou Yi in charge at the moment, they are full of confidence in defending the city. Because they have in their hands the tips and tricks left by Master Zhou Yi.
Everyone believed that as soon as Zhou Yi's clever plan came out, those Xiongnu and Khitan thieves would be wiped out like Cao Cao's million-strong army in Chibi.
Although he had great confidence in Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi himself had little confidence in himself.
Although he usually prefers to play a series of strategy games such as "Mount and Blade", "Warcraft", and "Red Alert", but after all, it is just talk on paper.
But now it is a real war mode, and no matter what, human lives must be fought and fought.
What Zhou Yi commanded was no longer a character made of numerical codes, but a living life. Zhouyi had to be cautious about this.
After Wuwei Pass fell, 10,000 Xiongnu soldiers came to Pingyang City in the afternoon to provoke and knock the pass.
Facing the Huns' attack, Zhang Biao was not afraid at all, because they had agreed at the beginning that after the Huns captured Wuwei Pass, they would come to Pingyang City to provoke them again. When the time comes, he will lead his army to fight out. The Xiongnu will leave thousands of corpses behind, and let Zhang Biao go back to pay the tribute.
Zhang Biao, who was so happy about his success, thought that the Huns would keep their promise, so he led an army of 200,000 people out of the city to meet the enemy.
Regarding this situation, Lin Zhenyuan also advised Zhang Biao many times not to go out of the city to meet the enemy.
Zhang Biao responded by saying, "The defeated general An dares to speak out bravely."
Less than ten miles after leaving Pingyang City, the Huns not only failed to leave thousands of troops behind as required.
Instead, they launched an attack on Weiwuwei from the east, north and west with a superior force of 300,000 troops.
Under the leadership of Zhang Biao in the past three years, the Weiwei Guards have lost much combat power.
One can imagine that the situation of the battle was naturally one-sided.
However, Zhang Biao was not good at command, but he was good at escaping.
In the end, he led 20,000 remaining soldiers and escaped from being surrounded on three sides and returned to Pingyang City.
However, this time the Xiongnu and Khitan coalition forces came well prepared. They even built ladders, chariots, watchtowers and other equipment for siege.
In addition, the battle outside the city had already killed the remaining Wuwei guards to pieces.
The Xiongnu and Khitan coalition forces first launched a wave of watchtowers, then a wave of ladders, and then a wave of charging chariots.
Even if the remaining 20,000 soldiers were commanded by Lin Zhenyuan to defend the city in the later period, it was still difficult to turn the tide.
The Xiongnu and Khitan forces rushed down like this, and it took only two days to break through Pingyang City.
Of course, the biggest credit goes to Zhang Biao, this idiot. Zhang Biao can't control the overall situation and likes to give blind orders. Even Lin Zhenyuan, a professional next to him, doesn't know how to make good use of it.
Seeing that the city was about to be breached, Lin Zhenyuan immediately ordered thirty soldiers under his command to douse the city's granaries with kerosene, and a raging fire directly burned hundreds of thousands of loads of grain to ashes.
After doing all this, Lin Zhenyuan immediately led his men and fled towards the west gate.
When he left the west gate, Lin Zhenyuan found that Zhang Biao was escaping faster than himself. He had already opened the west gate and fled some distance away.
"Major General, that Zhang Biao escaped to Pingliang County. I heard that Li Feiyu from Pingliang County recognized the traitor Yan Song as his adoptive father. If we go to Pingliang County, we will probably be harmed by Li Feiyu! How about we go directly to Pingjiang? Go to the county!" Zhu Mingyi persuaded.
Deng Ponu, who was standing next to him, also agreed: "Yes, the magistrate of Pingjiang County dared to offer a sacrificial poem to General Lin three years ago when many officials were afraid to avoid him. I think he will take us in now!" "
Lin Zhenyuan, who was galloping on his horse, thought for a while and finally made a decision: "No, the Huns and Khitan dog thieves are coming this time. They will definitely send troops to chase us. How can I bring this danger to Pingjiang County!"
Just like what Lin Zhenyuan said, the Khitan and Huns coalition forces saw someone escaping from the west gate and sent a team to chase them in the rear.
"Since the magistrate of Pingliang County is the adopted son of the dog thief Yan Song, let's lead the enemy to Pingliang County!"
After making up his mind, Lin Zhenyuan took his remaining 31 soldiers and rode towards Pingliang County.
The Xiongnu, Khitan and other coalition forces were like a pack of wolves, biting Lin Zhenyuan and the others very tightly.
In addition, there are many people on the other side, so you can change teams to catch them in a relay.
But Lin Zhenyuan and the others couldn't. Just as Lin Zhenyuan and the others were about to take a rest, another group of cavalry attacked them again.
After running for a day and night, when Lin Zhenyuan and the others arrived outside Pingliang County, only half of Lin Zhenyuan's more than 30 soldiers were left, and everyone was injured without exception.
Lin Zhenyuan found that more than ten people led by Zhang Biao were shouting at the foot of Pingliang County, hoping that the city's defenders would open the gate.
"I am General Zhang Biao of the Mighty Guard, and I am also Prime Minister Yan's favorite general. I would like to ask Mr. Li to come to my rescue. Zhang Biao will definitely repay you for today's kindness in the future!"
After a while on the tower, another response came: "How dare you downstairs impersonate me, General Zhang Biao."
"I, General Zhang Biao, sit in Pingyang City and am so powerful that the Xiongnu dare not go south to herd horses, and the Khitans dare not bend their bows and complain. How dare you, a defeated general, come here to pretend to be our wise and powerful General Zhang Biao."
Zhang Biao was both happy and sad at the moment. He was happy that Young Master Li had such a high opinion of him, but he was worried that he didn't know how to prove his identity as Zhang Biao.
At this time, Zhang Biao saw Lin Zhenyuan retreating with more than ten remaining soldiers, and he immediately had an idea in his mind.
"I am really General Zhang Biao! If Lin Zhenyuan beside me had not been incompetent and lost the martial arts pass, I would not have been caught off guard by the Xiongnu and Khitan coalition forces!"
