Chapter 226 Withdrawal of Xun Wenruo

"Wei Yan, I will never die with you!"

Xun Wenruo still has a bit of the elegance of a literati at this time. His whole body exudes a Lingqi atmosphere, and his face is ferocious. The nails of his clenched hands have been stabbed into the meat, and drops of blood dripping down his fingers.

Who is Xu Chu? He is Cao Cao's favorite general, but like Dian Wei, who died in the war, he is deeply trusted by Cao Cao. He is one of the best generals under Cao Cao's command. His status is not even below him. Now he is actually killed by a Wei Yan who has never heard of. Zang Ba is dead, but even Xu Chu is dead. He is Even the great credit can't be offset.

What's more, although Xu Chu is stubborn, he is obedient to him and has never been disrespectful. This time, he was sent to Xiangyang by Cao Cao to protect him, and he died because he sent troops to fight privately. No matter how it is, it is all his responsibility.

Originally, with his position under Cao Cao Cao's command, there was nothing to transfer troops without permission because of the special circumstances, but two generals were killed in the battle one after another, and one was Cao Cao's personal guard. Even he could not bear this responsibility. More importantly, he did not win the war. Since the beginning until now, he has been There was no credit for the death of the two generals.

The unauthorized transfer of troops is originally a big crime, coupled with the loss of soldiers, this crime may also involve the Xun family. The Xun family is the Central Plains family. How can they not offend people over the years? At ordinary times, these people naturally dare not come out and say anything, but now if Xunwen commits such a big crime, how can these people Let go of this opportunity to attack the Xun clan.

"Quick! Hurry up and rush to Thornyang, and order the rear army to prepare the siege equipment immediately. Xun Wenruo's cold voice revealed a deep worry.

He did not know Wei Yan's situation at this time, but he knew Xu Chu's ability. Even if Wei Yan wanted to kill Xu Chu, he would have to pay a great price. At this time, it was the best opportunity to attack the thorn Yang. The army's grain and grass had been burned. If he did not take this opportunity to take the thorn Yang, then wait for Wei Yan to react. If you come here, there will be no more chance.

Fight to the death to take down the thorn Yang and kill Wei Yan. Although it is nothing, it can also offset part of the blame, so Xun Wen will not let go of any opportunity.

"Military division, the Thorn Yang has arrived." A young general pointed to the dark thorn Yangcheng not far away with a slightly happy face.

"Have the siege equipment ever been ready?" Xun Wenruo's plain white Confucian clothes were already full of earth and blood at this time, and several people looked embarrassed.

"It is reported to the military division that all the weights in the battalion have been burned, and only dozens of simple ladders carried by the army." The young general looked at Xun Wenruo carefully as he spoke.

"Hmm. Pass the order and attack the city immediately!" Xun Wenruo had expected that he was not to blame for waving his hand in the army. At this time, it was already late at night when the whole Thornyang City was silent, with no life at all. It looked like an empty city without any sound outside. At this time, Xun Wenruo only prayed that Wei Yan was not so vigilant, and ordered the soldiers to be on guard when he returned from serious injury.

"No." The young general was relieved and hurriedly left.

Not long after, Xun Wenruo's order had been conveyed. Hundreds of soldiers rushed to the dark Thornyang City with cloud ladders. Under Xun Wenruo's anxious eyes, these soldiers quickly rushed to the bottom of Thornyang City, and the towering ladders had reached the wall of Thornyang City.

"Kill!"

Just as these soldiers put the ladder on the wall, the sound of shouting and killing instantly remembered, deaf and loud. With the loud shouts on the wall, nearly a thousand torches were lit up in an instant, illuminating the whole thorny city.

"Haha, Xun Wenruo, you have been tricked." A loud voice sounded, and Wei Yan'ang, dressed in armor above the city, stood and looked down at the city. He didn't look hurt at all.

After Wei Yan shouted and waved his big hand, in an instant, hundreds of arrows galloped down the city. The soldiers who were climbing up the ladder were killed by sudden arrows, and most of them were killed and injured as soon as the arrow rain came down.

"What!" Xun Wenruo's face turned pale and then turned pale. Wei Yanyuan is much more difficult to deal with than he thought.

"How can you appear in Jingzhou like this?" Xun Wenruo looked bitter. He had met so many talents in a few days when he came to Jingzhou. Wei Yan was definitely a rare general in front of him.

"It seems that it is impossible to take down the thornyang today." Xun Wenruo's face kept changing. For a moment, he didn't know whether Wei Yan really had any damage. If Wei Yan was damaged, even if it cost some soldiers, he would kill Wei Yan. This is not only to exoneate the Xun clan, but also to make Jingzhou lose a general.

"In the military division, Fancheng was attacked by the Flying Tiger Army." While Xun Wenruo was hesitating, a soldier ran over quickly.

"What?" Xun Wenruo was stunned on the spot. Today, everything seemed to have been arranged, and all his calculations were calculated by the generals of Jingzhou.

Taking a deep breath, Xun Wenruo sighed, "Withdrawal."

The sound of gold sounded and the Cao soldiers who had rushed up retreated like a tide. Soon, Xun Wenruo's army had assembled and rushed to Fancheng. Xun Wenruo on the horse's back seems to be several years old at this time. It looks like a withered, which is simply different from the previous vigor.

Just as Xun Wenruo's army disappeared outside the Thornyang City, Wei Yan on the tower suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood. After explaining a strict alert, he fell into a coma.

After killing Xu Chu, Wei Yan was also seriously injured. After returning to the city to simply clean up the wounds, he heard the news that Xun Wenruo's army came and changed into new armor. Wei Yan immediately came to the wall and insisted on deceiving Wei Yan away.

However, Wu Xiong outside Fancheng saved Wei Yan's life by mistake. At this time, Wu Xiong was commanding a thousand flying tiger army to shout outside Fancheng. The shouting went straight through the sky and really softened the legs of the hundreds of soldiers left by Fan Cheng.

Just when Xun Wenruo's army left Fancheng, Wu Xiong also received an order from Pang Tong to secretly lead a thousand flying tiger army outside Fancheng. He knew that he suddenly appeared outside Fancheng in the middle of the night.

As soon as the Flying Tiger Army appeared, it shocked the defenders in Fancheng. The deputy general who stayed to guard Fancheng was still the deputy general who followed Man Chong for a long time and was very clear about the defensive strategy of Man Chong. Therefore, even if Xun Wen was in Fancheng, he did not relax at all.

After seeing a thousand Flying Tiger Army ready to go, the deputy general immediately ordered the soldiers in the city to gather under the gate. While guarding against traitors in the city, he sent someone to pass on the news of the Flying Tiger Army's attack on Fancheng to Xun Wenruo.

In this way, the two sides have been holding each other, and the Flying Tiger Army outside the gate shouts to kill every once in a while, and the defenders in the city dare not relax. Seeing that the Vice General of the Flying Tiger Army did not move in the city, he did not dare to order the soldiers to leave the city, but he prayed that Xun Wenruo would come earlier.

"General, they're coming." A flying tiger guard came to Wu Xiong and bowed.

"Oh, how far is it?" Wu Xiong asked.

"There are less than five miles left." The Flying Tiger Soldiers said.

"Well, let me know and leave immediately." With that, Wu Xiong had patted the horses under him and turned around and left. Soon, a thousand flying tigers left Fancheng under the leadership of Wu Xiong.

The deputy general on the tower was also relieved to see the Flying Tiger Army leave. At the same time, he also received the news that Xun Wenruo had arrived. He ordered the soldiers to be on alert while preparing to welcome Xun Wenruo into the city.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Xun Wenruo rushed outside Fancheng with thousands of exhausted soldiers and horses. In one night, Xun Wenruo not only did not say anything, but also lost Xu Chu and a thousand soldiers and horses. Nearly 500 soldiers and horses are still stranded out and have not returned to the camp. Xun Wenruo can be said to have suffered heavy losses this time.

Although Xun Wenruo, who rushed back to Fancheng, knew that it was the strategy of the Flying Tiger Army, he did not order the army to pursue. At this time, Fancheng had no available generals. Once he chased, he might suffer heavy losses.

....................................................................

A few hours later, Pang Tong from Wancheng received the news from the two counties of Thornyang, and he also looked at Wei Yan with new eyes. The more she looked at Wei Yan, the more she liked it, and she was even more happy to treat Wei Yan as a student**.

"How's the military division?" Gan Ning, who was beside him, hurriedly asked.

"Ha ha, General Gan, please have a look." With that, Pang Tong handed over the bamboo slips in his hand to Gan Ning.

After taking the bamboo slip and looking at it carefully, Gan Ning sighed, "The master's vision is really extraordinary. Just seeing him, I know that Wei Yan is a talent. At the beginning, Wei Yan was just a small city gate general. He happened to meet the master. The master almost did not hesitate to give him 800 people directly and let him stay. Guarding the city, I didn't expect that Wei Yan would really do it.

"In less than two months now, Wei Yan killed Xu Chu, the general under Cao Cao's command, which is really amazing."

"Ha ha, the lord can only be really unpredictable, but the lord must be an extraordinary person." Pang Tong was also full of sighs when he thought of what Liu Qi said when he recruited him.

After Liu Qi recruited him, he did not say anything and directly asked him to lead Gan Ning to take back Wancheng. This courage alone is not what ordinary people can have.

"Military division, General Wei is seriously injured at this time. Do you want to send him back to Xiangyang or invite Mr. Hua Tuo to Wancheng? If you leave the root of the disease, it will be troublesome." Gan Ning was a little worried about Wei Yan's injury.

"Ha ha, at this time, you can inform the lord to see how the lord makes a decision. As for the spine Yang, let's give it to Wu Xiong for the time being. Anyway, if Xun Wen folds Xu Chu and Zang Ba, he will not attack Wancheng again at this time." Pang Tong shook his head.

"Don't worry, I'll order someone to quickly inform the lord about this matter." Gan Ning said excitedly. As soon as he came to Wancheng, he sent good news to Xiangyang twice in a row. The excitement in his heart can be imagined.

"Well, Xun Wenruo suffered a loss in Wancheng this time. You send someone to Xudu to see how Cao Cao dealt with Xun Wenruo." Pang Tong told Gan Ning.
