Chapter 1281: White Horse Volunteers Arrive
At the top of the city of Wei County, Geng Wu looked at the densely packed Wei soldiers under the city, but his heart did not waver at all. He had already seen that the Wei army seemed to have many soldiers, but in fact the real number of warriors was only about 40,000. Now Wen Chou The city was also attacked from three sides, with only ten thousand people in each direction. There were ten thousand soldiers in the city alone, plus five thousand defenders, which amounted to fifteen thousand elites.
In addition, he has been guarding Wei County for several years, repairing the city walls almost every year, and constantly strengthening the defense. There is also sufficient food and grass in the city to support the soldiers and civilians in the city for half a year. Geng Wu believes that it is impossible for the Wei army to survive in a single city. It took more than half a year to conquer the city, and it was impossible for our own reinforcements to wait for the first half of the year to arrive.
What's more, General Pingbei's White Horse Yi Cong has already arrived and is hiding outside the city. He believes that he will attack the Wei army at the right time. With his surprise attack, it will be the ultimate victory for the soldiers of his army in the city. Good encouragement.
The troops in the city were well-prepared, and reinforcements from outside the city could support them at any time. Geng Wu believed that he would be able to kill the tens of thousands of Wei troops under the Wei County city wall.
After seeing the Wei army's troop deployment, Geng Wu had already ordered three captains to guard one wall each, leaving 5,000 soldiers behind. The remaining 10,000 troops deployed 3,000 soldiers on each of the three walls in the east, north, and south. , half of the soldiers were on guard, and the remaining 1,000 people were placed on the west wall. Geng Wu himself stood on the east wall, quietly waiting for the Wei army to attack.
The war started with the roaring drums of the Wei army's central army...
In the woods twenty miles west of Wei County, Zhao Yun had already stood up. After hurriedly eating the dry food handed over by his soldiers, he sat quietly under a tree, waiting for the news from the scouts.
At this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves outside the woods, and then a scout was heard hurriedly running into the woods and came to him to report: "General, the war in Wei County has begun, and we are in the city. More than ten miles to the northwest, we found the scout cavalry sent by the Wei army, a total of twenty people, but they were all wiped out by us. "
It is only twenty miles from here to Wei County, and the cavalry only takes half an hour. The battle in Wei County has just begun. If his cavalry leaves too early, the Wei army's defense will be at its strictest, so Zhao Yun did not Prepared to set off so early, after hearing the scout's report, he nodded gently and said: "Continue to observe, if there is any abnormality, report it at any time!"
An hour later, the scout reported again that the Wei army had completed filling in the moat, filled in several siege channels, and began to prepare for the attack.
When Zhao Yun heard this, his eyes opened, and a flash of confusion burst out in his eyes. He stood up and said, "Give me the order to prepare the soldiers. We will set off in half an hour to attack the Wei army in the north of the city!"
As his order was passed down, more than 10,000 white horse soldiers in the woods stood up one after another. Everyone silently put on their armor neatly, fastened the saddles of their horses, and then put on their weapons. He took them out and checked them carefully, and after confirming that they were correct, he placed them in the most convenient place for him. starter
Then, a group of soldiers, led by their respective corps commanders, picked up their horses and walked towards the open space outside the woods. As all the soldiers were lined up, Zhao Yun also turned over and jumped on his horse. He shook the reins of the horse with his left hand, held his spear in his left hand, and slowly walked to the front of the team. After carefully looking at the team, Holding the gun in his right hand, he pointed towards Wei County in the northeast and shouted loudly: "Let's go!"
Under his leadership, more than ten thousand white-horse righteous followers slowly picked up their horse speed and ran towards the battlefield twenty miles away.
For more than twenty miles, for the cavalry, it would take half an hour if they were fast, but Zhao Yun did not urge the army to move all the way, but marched at a normal speed to save horse power. When they arrived five miles northwest of Wei County, they ordered the army to change their horses, and then gave the order to gallop towards Wei County.
When more than 10,000 white horse soldiers arrived hundreds of steps away from the north city of Wei County, it happened to be the first round of Zhang Nannan's army attacking Wei County. Thousands of Wei soldiers gathered up and down the city wall to fight with the Tang army defenders inside the city. The battle broke into a group, and at this time Zhang Nan only had five thousand infantry by his side.
Zhang Nan, who was watching the battle, suddenly noticed a large amount of dust rising from the field to the west. When he looked carefully to the west, he was shocked: "Damn it, why did the cavalry of the Tang Army appear here? Isn't the cavalry of the Zhao State here?" Contain them? Also, are all the scouts dead? "
The generals around Zhang Nan were so shocked that their eyes almost fell to the ground. Facing the sudden arrival of more than 10,000 Tang Army cavalry, there were only 5,000 infantry and thousands of civilians on his side. Everyone was suddenly shocked. shocked.
Fortunately, Zhang Nan reacted quickly enough and shouted loudly: "Quick, quick, quick... Form an array, with the sword and shield soldiers in front, the spearmen in the middle, and the archers in the back. Hurry... hurry up if you don't want to die..."
As he said that, he pulled over another soldier and said, "Quickly, ask General Wen for help. Tell him that Zhao Yun's Baima Yi is here. Please send someone to support him quickly!"
The soldier's face turned pale with fright at this time. He was shaken twice by Zhang Nan before he realized what was happening. He led a few cavalrymen, whipped their horses fiercely, and ran towards Wen Chou's Chinese army to the east. .
For the cavalry, a distance of several hundred steps was reached in an instant. At this time, only half of Zhang Nannan's soldiers barely formed a circular formation, and nearly half of the soldiers were huddled together in panic.
When Zhao Yun saw this, he shouted: "The white horse is a righteous follower, follow me and charge into the battle!"
"The white horse obeys the righteousness, the place of righteousness, there is death but no life, kill..."
…
The rumbling hoofbeats of more than 10,000 cavalrymen in the field covered up the killing cries on the battlefield. Under the leadership of Zhao Yun, the white horse Yi Cong bypassed the already arrayed Wei army and headed towards the other side where the array had not yet been completed. The Wei soldiers killed him.
For a moment, like a red-hot sharp knife inserted into the solidified lard, he rushed into the Wei army in an instant.
The leader, Zhao Yun, danced his spear and flew, killing the Wei soldiers who stood in front of him and sending them fleeing. Behind Zhao Yun were more than 10,000 white-horse Yiyi soldiers. They followed closely and rushed directly towards the Wei soldiers. . In a matter of seconds, those Wei soldiers who didn't have time were killed and their bodies were scattered everywhere.

Soon, nearly half of the 5,000 soldiers around Zhang Nan were lost. However, the casualties of these soldiers were not without benefits. At least they bought time for the more than 2,000 soldiers around Zhang Nan to form an array, waiting for Zhao Yun to lead the white horse Yi Cong general. After all these soldiers were killed, the more than two thousand soldiers around Zhang Nan had formed a tight circular formation, huddled together like a hedgehog.
Zhao Yun glanced at the more than 2,000 Wei soldiers beside Zhang Nan, and did not directly lead his troops to fight. Instead, he turned his horse's head and killed those Wei soldiers who were attacking the city.
