Farmer of Shu Han Chapter 1201

Chapter 1201 Broken City

Looking at Wen Shi, who just came back from the Chinese Army, with a worried expression on his face, Wang Han, the guard of the engineering battalion, couldn't help but feel a little strange:

"General Wen was summoned by General Hussars, but what orders do you have?"

Wen Shi heard the words, said Wei Yan's order again, and then sighed:

"Although I have never personally led an army to fight against thieves, I have seen a lot of things in the army over the years."

"In my opinion, General Hussars may be a little too anxious this time."

"If it was replaced by the Central Guard, I am afraid that the soldiers would not let the soldiers attack the city so disregarding casualties for the sake of a city."

When Wang Han heard what Wen Shi said, he quickly made a gesture, looked left and right, and then pulled him to the less crowded place:

"General Wen, General Hussars is the commander-in-chief of the army. Even if we are seconded, we must be restrained by him."

"Talking about the coach behind his back is a serious crime if he really wants to be held accountable. Therefore, it is better for General Wen not to say such things in the army."

Wenshi nodded:

"Thank you, General Wang, for reminding me. Actually, how could I not know? It's just General Hussars... Sigh! Besides, this is where our engineering battalion is, so I can't help but mention a few words."

Seeing Wen Shi like this, Wang Han couldn't help asking:

"What does Hussar General want our engineering battalion to do?"

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Gaodu City not far away.

The outskirts of Gaodu City have long been smashed to pieces by stone cannons.

He turned around again, subconsciously said casually:

"You don't want us to destroy those things on the mountain, do you?"

Unexpectedly, Wenshi smiled wryly:

"That's right, General Hussars wants our engineering battalion to help destroy all the fortresses on the mountain..."

"Huh?" Wang Han immediately widened his eyes when he heard the words, opened his mouth and let out a huff, and stood there in a daze.

After a long while, he realized that Wen Shi was not joking, so he couldn't help but raised his voice and shouted:

"Dream? If the engineering battalion is so powerful, what else do you need?"

Wang Han is the same family as Wang Ping.

In the early years, Wang Ping was protected by the Central Capital, and returned to his hometown in fine clothes, which attracted many fellow villagers out.

The young Wang Han joined the army at that time.

Probably because he was still young, so the Central Guard kept him by his side for several years.

Over the years, Wang Han has stayed in Wudang Camp, Personal Guard Camp, and even Dark Night Camp.

It can be said that, like Wang Ping, his honor and disgrace are tied to Zhongdu Hu.

Now the Central Guard sent him to the engineering battalion as a guard. To put it bluntly, he was asked to take good care of the technicians in the battalion.

So when he heard Wei Yan's request at this time, Wang Han naturally wanted to jump.

"Shh! Keep it quiet..."

This time it is Wenshi's turn to remind Wang Han:

"If General Hussars didn't bring it up, I would have wanted to scold someone. After explaining for a long time, General Hussars knew that this idea would not work."

Thinking of this, Wen Shi almost scolded someone for being illiterate.

After all, who but the illiterate would make such a request?

"No! The current military situation is urgent, and General Hussars is not a good friend."

Wang Han is careful, and when he heard this, he couldn't hold back:

"What if he brings up this matter again later and insists on asking us to try it?"

In fact, it's not impossible to give it a try if the weekdays are changed.

But that was under the condition of safety guarantees. Given the current situation, Wang Han did not dare to let the engineering battalion follow him to take risks down the mountain.

The Central Guard sent him here, but he specifically reminded himself that he should pay attention to keeping the engineering battalion well.

Having followed Zhongduhu for so many years, Wang Han also realized in his heart:

In the engineering battalion, someone may have some unknown secrets related to the army.

If not, why is the Engineering Battalion directly under the Central Capital Protectorate?

Instead of devolving to various armies?

Thinking of this, Wang Han raised his vigilance again:

"I heard that Sima Yi, the leader of the thieves, has brought reinforcements over, not far from here."

"Anyway, the task of our engineering battalion has been completed, and the rest of the fighting before the battle is not our director."

"So it's useless to stay here, General Wen, why don't you use the excuse of supervising the manufacturing of equipment, and take the master craftsmen in the battalion to retreat to the rear for safety."

Wen Shi was taken aback, he just complained, but he didn't expect Wang Han to make such an arrangement:

"how about you?"

Wang Han shook his head:

"General Hussars is not easy to talk to. You just rejected his request. If the engineering battalion retreats all at once, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain."

"You take the people to go first. If the Hussar General doesn't respond, you can ask the Hussar General in a few days and ask me to go to help. I think there will be no problem."

Wang Han, as the guard, has 1,500 soldiers.

Not too many, at least during the siege, 1,500 people, not even the number of two batches.

Basically, it will not play a role in turning things around.

But if you want to say less, it is not too little.

The elite soldiers specially dispatched by the Zhongdu Protectorate can at least protect the core personnel of the engineering battalion most of the time.

Wenshi nodded in response, without too much entanglement.

He knew that in this kind of matter, he had better listen to the arrangements of professionals.

It was as if Wang Han had never interfered with how he shot.

"Then when do we act?"

"Tomorrow, you just came back from there, and now you go back, it seems a bit too deliberate."

Actually, Wang Han wanted to bring up this matter again in a few days, but things before the battle changed rapidly.

Add a hussar general who doesn't have a good relationship with the Central Guard.

This matter, of course, should be done early.

As the direct descendant of Zhongduhu, but now under the command of General Zuo Hussars, Wang Han dared not have the slightest intention of entrusting him.

The two discussed some details and perfected the plan, and then went to prepare separately.

The next day, Wen Shi took courage and went to see Wei Yan again.

Unexpectedly, when Wei Yan heard this, he agreed without any doubt at all.

After all, the siege has entered the final juncture, and it is really necessary to step up the production of equipment.

And there is another more important reason, that is Zhang Bao from Hedong sent a fast horse to send a message:

Zhi Guanxing appeared Wei thief.

Wei Yan quickly made a judgment:

This is the Wei thief who wants to contain Hedong and prevent him from sending reinforcements from Hedong to support him.

But in Wei Yan's view, the thief Wei is just superfluous.

Because the reinforcements he wants to mobilize are not from Hedong, but from Shangdang!

It was just behind the news that Wei Yan felt the urgency of time even more.

Obviously, Wei thief has already started to act.

轵The Wei thief on the other side of Guanxing made a movement.

Coupled with the report from the scouts yesterday, it was said that a new Wei thief was discovered at Tianjingguan in Taihang Xing.

All this shows that Sima Yi probably wants to use offense as defense to force the big man to retreat.

Sima Yi, who fled from Guanzhong to Luoyang, has been very quiet in recent years.

He dared to go to war at this time, the biggest reason may be:

Someone Feng left Chang'an for Wuguan, and the pressure in Luoyang dropped sharply, so Sima Yi dared to act like this.

Having figured this out, Wei Yan immediately became a little more irritable and angry:

"Feng Yong did it on purpose at all. He can't see me leading the army and making meritorious deeds. He is no different from a mouse!"

He looked towards the last hill of Gaodu City, his face was extremely livid.

If reinforcements from the thieves at Tianjing Pass arrive, then my hard work these days will be in vain.

But the soldiers were already exhausted due to the hasty attack on the city.

In addition, because of the heavy casualties during the attack on the mountain, morale has become low, and a rest is urgently needed.

Wei Yan looked in the direction of the engineering battalion, and his gaze became a little flickering.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came, interrupting Wei Yan's train of thought.

"What is it?"

Before Wei Chang opened his mouth, he heard Wei Yan's sudden question, he was slightly taken aback, and quickly replied:

"General, Shangdang's reinforcements are here!"

"finally come?"

Wei Yan, who turned his back to Wei Chang in deep thought, turned around hastily when he heard this:

"Where are they now?"

I thought that the Shangdang reinforcements would arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the earliest.

Unexpectedly, it was a day earlier.

The military situation is on fire, and one more day can probably turn the tide of the battle!

Wei Yan only felt that the dullness of these days had been swept away.

Probably seeing the doubts in Wei Yan's heart, Wei Chang explained:

"Shangdang's reinforcements were urgently summoned by the general, and they did not dare to neglect. They traveled at double speed yesterday and this morning, so it was only a day early."

"Okay, okay!" Wei Yan was overjoyed and couldn't wait to order, "Let them gather immediately, eat something, take a rest, and attack the city today!"

"Huh?" Wei Chang was stunned when he heard Wei Yan's words.

"Ah what? Why don't you go soon?!"

Wei Yan couldn't help shouting when he saw his appearance.

Wei Chang's lips moved, and he wanted to turn around and leave, but in the end he reminded him:

"General, the soldiers have come from afar and are exhausted, why not..."

Before Wei Chang finished speaking, the anger that Wei Yan had been suppressing all these days suddenly flared up.

He kicked Wei Chang violently and knocked him to the ground.

I saw Wei Yan pointing at Wei Chang and cursing:

"I have led troops for decades, don't I know this, and I need you to remind me?"

Besides, the soldiers of Shangdang were brought out by themselves. Is there anyone in this world who understands them better than me?

The soldiers are really tired after coming from afar.

But the bandit army has been fighting continuously these days, and they will only get more tired.

Wei Chang didn't dare to say anything more, he got up from the ground silently, didn't even dare to pat the dirt on his body, and went to the rear.

At Tianjing Pass, fifty miles away from Gaodu City, Sima Shi was standing on the highest point of the pass city, looking to the north, as if listening to the sound of killing coming from Gaodu City.

Footsteps came from behind, Niu Jin walked behind Sima Shi, with a slightly anxious look on his face:

"General, according to reports from the spies, the city of Gaodu is about to be destroyed. The general led the troops here for more than a day, why did they stop moving forward?"

Master Sima did not look back at him, but said calmly:

"The soldiers have traveled so far and are overworked. Naturally, they need to take a good rest first to recover their strength."

Niu Jin heard the words, with an incredulous look on his face, he stretched out his finger to the north:

"But…"

"No but." Sima Shi also stretched out his hand, pointing in the same direction as Niu Jin, "What we are going to face is Wei Yan, one of the leaders of the western thieves."

"Wei Yan is a rare fierce general among the Western thieves, and he is also a veteran, only under Feng thief."

"Therefore, before finding out the battle situation in Gaodu City, don't rush into it lightly."

Niu Jin heard the words, opened his mouth, wanted to speak, but didn't know where to start.

Because what General Sima said was not wrong.

But he always felt that something was not right.

But since the coach has made a decision, he is naturally not good at commenting.

In the end, I just choked out a sentence:

"Then general, why don't I lead someone to check the situation myself?"

Master Sima finally turned his head and glanced at Niu Jin expressionlessly:

"General Niu, your duty now is to restrain the soldiers below and arrange for them to have a good rest so that they can cope with the fierce battle in the near future, instead of taking personal risks."

Niu Jin saw Master Sima's appearance, and seemed to have realized something, so he went down to arrange soldiers under the pretext, and retreated reluctantly.

After Niu Jin left, Sima Shi looked towards the north again, silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After an unknown amount of time, a personal guard walked over lightly and said in a low voice:

"My lord, the scout is back."

"Oh?" Sima Shi's expression changed, and he turned around quickly, "Hurry up and get someone over here."

"No need to salute, let me tell you how the situation is going?"

The chief scout saluted halfway through, and stopped immediately after hearing the words, and replied:

"General, the western thieves are in a hurry to attack the city. Although Gaodu City has not completely fallen now, it is only in the blink of an eye."

"Following the general's orders, the villain sent people down the mountain and ventured to the side of the bandit army to investigate the enemy's situation."

"After losing nearly ten players, I found out that the bandits' reinforcements seem to have arrived..."

"Okay!" Master Sima yelled and clapped his fists, "It's finally here!"

Seeing the astonishment of the chief scout and the guards, Master Sima did not explain, but said to the chief scout:

"I will credit the lost brothers in your hands, and I will double the compensation after the war."

The chief scout, who was still a little ashamed at first, didn't react for a while when he heard this.

He originally thought that the disappearance of his brothers might reveal the military situation.

Unexpectedly, the general not only did not pursue the case, but instead made a credit.

Sima waved his hand, telling the guards and scout chiefs to retreat.

Then when he turned to look north, his face that had been expressionless all day finally showed a smile:

"Wei Yan, Wei Yan, you have finally fallen into the scheme of the adults..."

After murmuring this sentence, he snorted again with a sneer:

"The mere Gaodu City has not been captured until now, and it seems that you are nothing more than that."

Although he didn't hear Sima Shi's sarcasm towards him, Wei Yan was already like a gambler with red eyes at this time.

I saw him wearing armor, standing in front of the soldiers of the Han army who had just rushed to rescue from Shangdang, and shouted loudly:

"The thieves are exhausted, you are a newcomer, if you don't break the thieves now, when will you wait?"

"Today, I will personally lead you to attack the city. If the city is not broken, I swear not to retreat. I would rather die halfway up the mountain!"

Wei Yanshan raised soldiers, and these soldiers were basically brought out by him himself.

At this time, when they heard that the coach personally led them to attack the city, the crowd couldn't help being excited, shouting "Break the thief! Break the thief! Break the thief!"

"Follow me!"

As the drums sounded, the Han army once again charged towards the last high ground in Gaodu City.

The defenders who did not wait for reinforcements could no longer hold on this time.

The flag of the Wei army on the highest point of Gaodu City was finally burned.

Wei Yan deeply hated the Wei army for not surrendering, which caused the death of many soldiers.

In extreme anger, he wanted to order that the captured defenders, regardless of their disabilities, be killed.

Fortunately, Wei Chang knelt down and begged bitterly, Wen Shi and Wang Han, who learned about the matter, also rushed to persuade those prisoners that they escaped with their lives.
