Chapter 659: Snowstorm and Cold Blade (11)

Xu Yuan was also trying to narrow the gap. He immediately went to find dozens of loud-voiced Hun soldiers from Huidong who were talking nonsense. They stood in a row on the city wall and started shouting at the top of their lungs. , with you all the way! When he shouted this, everyone above and below the city immediately looked at him. One-on-one combat has long been a thing of the past in the history of the Central Plains. No commander would do such a thing, but in the history of Donghu's wars, there are many such examples. Yes, the warriors of the two tribes competed in a duel before the war to boost their own morale, but it was extremely rare for the commander of one army to challenge the commander of the other team like this.

The eyes of all the Donghu soldiers who followed Yan Qi out to watch the formation all fell on Yan Qi.

Murong Kun was furious, "It's too much to bully others. General, please allow me to go out and kill this lofty and powerful man."

Yan Qi's expression remained unchanged, "General Murong, do you know whose hand my right hand was injured in? It's Gao Yuan. This man's personal strength is unparalleled in the world. When I was in my prime, I still wasn't. His opponent's right hand was injured by him, and he will never be able to hold a sword again. You are not his opponent. Any one of us here who agrees to go out to challenge him is just to let him gain some medals for bravery. "

Murong Kun changed his face slightly. Yan Qi in his heyday was not Gao Yuan's opponent. He knew that he was not as good as Yan Qi at that time, and it would be useless to go up. It didn't matter if he lost, but in the eyes of everyone, it would hurt his morale too much. .

"But if you avoid fighting, wouldn't it kill your morale even more?" Murong Kun said honestly.

Yan Qi smiled slightly, "That's what they had in mind. They wanted to give me a blow!" He stepped forward on horseback and stepped directly into the range of the crossbow. Murong Kun stretched out his hand to stop him, but he couldn't. Half of it, but he retreated back. He could not fight, and his morale was inevitably affected. At this time, Yan Qi was using actions to show that he was not afraid of his opponent in order to restore the damaged morale, but he could not stop it.

Yan Qizong immediately stepped forward, crossed the range of the crossbow, and entered the range of the arm-opening crossbow. Murong Kun could clearly see the shimmering arrow above the city head, and felt a wave of coldness in his vest. Cold sweat breaks out from the buttocks, this is a bit more shameless and lofty, Donghu Army will be defeated before the attack, and the commander will be captured first.

On top of the city, Xu Yuan's heart pounded, "Commander, with just one order, thousands of arrows will be fired on the city, and Yan Qike will be stunned. This is the commander-in-chief of the Donghu people."

Staring at Yan Qi, Gao Yuan slowly shook his head, "As expected, he is the number one general of Donghu. He is extremely brave. He knows that I will not kill him like this. Xu Yuan, now we are fighting between two countries, and we have killed a Yan Qi." So what? Donghu will appoint a new coach soon. Moreover, we are the first to challenge, but we are behind to kill the opponent with thousands of arrows. This hurts our morale, but it inspires the enemy's desire to fight to the death. , this is a loss-making business, I will never do it. "

"What a pity!" Xu Yuan murmured.

Gao Yuan smiled slightly and took a step forward.

"General Yan Qi, come forward, do you want to accept my challenge?"

At this time, the distance between the two people was already audible. Yan Qi raised his head and laughed: "General Gao is brave. The two of us have already competed in personal bravery. Yan Qi is willing to lose, so naturally he does not dare to take advantage of himself." disgrace."

"In this case, General Yan Qi has admitted defeat, so we might as well surrender. I will definitely not lose to a courageous warrior like General Yan Qi." Gao Yuan said loudly.

Yan Qi laughed and said, "A man's bravery is as strong as that of an ordinary man. General Gao, today you and I meet again on the battlefield, but the comparison is between a thousand enemies and ten thousand enemies. Yan Qi still needs to learn a lot more. Gao Gao." The general's personal bravery will be more than enough to serve as an army commander in Donghu."

"In his life, Gao Mou has fought hundreds of battles against the Donghu. He has never been victorious in a hundred battles and has never been defeated. The Donghu people who fell under my sword are unknown to Fanfan. General Yan Qi, you will be next, but you go back. Gao Mou will wait and see. General As for your performance, don't let me down!" Gao Yuan waved his hand as if to catch a fly.

A look of anger flashed across Yan Qi's face, and he nodded, "I will come to fight in three days!"

"Gao is waiting!"

Yan Qi turned his horse and left without saying a word. Looking at the man's generous back, Xu Yuan murmured again: "What a pity."

"It's not a pity!" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "At least, our morale is high now, but the Donghu people are a little depressed. After all, this is a country that advocates bravery. As the coach, Yan Qi admitted in public that he is not my opponent. The soldiers are still somewhat Depressing."

Xu Yuan looked back at the top of the city. The faces of the East Conquering soldiers were shining brightly, and he could clearly feel the fighting spirit. "The governor is right, I am shallow."

"Yan Qi is a good opponent, Rongrong is not surprised." Ning Xin whispered: "It is indeed inappropriate to kill him today. When you were in Liaoxi City, if you had killed him with one knife, you would have lost a strong enemy today."

"I was just a small soldier back then. If I killed someone with Yan Qi's status, do you think I would still be alive?" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"This battle was fought not only with the bravery of both sides, but also with the logistics of both sides. We have been preparing for this battle for a full year. Donghu is weak in Hetao, but it hastily launched the war. Yan Qiming knew this , then hurriedly chose to start fighting in the coldest month of winter. He knew very well that once spring started, their logistics would be difficult to keep up with the consumption of the army, and he knew even better that if it continued, it would be more and more disadvantageous for them. I am here The longer the time goes, the deeper the foundation becomes. When my tentacles completely reach the east coast, they will be beaten passively. "

Ning Xin nodded and said: "Speaking of foresight, I'm afraid there are too few people in this world who can compare with you. When you were surrounded by enemies on all sides and it was extremely difficult, you actually thought of running the Loop and sent Xu Yuan. Now you The Loop has become powerful, forcing Donghu to respond hastily. In terms of general trends, we have won three points. "

Gao Yuan smiled and said: "The remaining seven points are for this battle. As long as Yan Qi is defeated, the power of the Eastern Expeditionary Army in Hetao will no longer be shaken. At that time, Thorpe will probably come to sue for peace. . Fifty thousand cavalry, which is already less than half of Donghu's strength. Without these fifty thousand cavalry, what Thorpe wants is to secure his throne rather than expand outward. "

"I will work hard. As long as this battle is won, I can guarantee that there will never be peace in Donghu. How can those Donghu ministers and ministers who have been deprived of their power let go of this person to overthrow Thorpe and regain control of the country? A chance to regain power." Ning Xin smiled.

"Of course, in this battle, the opponent will fight for his life, and I have made the most difficult preparations. Otherwise, I would not come here in person. I don't want my reputation of winning every battle against Donghu to fall into my hands. Here!" Gao Yuan laughed.

In Tongwan City, Yan Pengzhuo stood on the city wall and looked at the Donghu camp in the distance. He looked back at Luo Weiran and said: "Donghu is here with us. There are about 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry. In addition, we have sent a group of about 5,000 infantry." Thousands of cavalrymen monitored and contained the Dayan City defenders. Calculated in this way, they surrendered 30,000 cavalry and more than 10,000 infantry in Pioneer City, while Pioneer City only had more than 10,000 defenders. The governor threw out the cavalry commanded by He Lan. This It's hard to fight in Pioneer City. If we want to reduce the burden on Pioneer City, we need to take the initiative. Commander Luo, are you ready?"

Luo Weiran nodded and said: "The Donghu people set up such a formation just to prevent us from going to support the Pioneer City and to contain us. They are not strong in fighting spirit. They have three thousand cavalry, but we have almost none. They also calculated We don't dare to attack, we only dare to defend the city. Hehe, with this idea, they will lose most of them. But don't worry, commander, I will give them a good look when the Pioneer City fights. "

"So, your previous preparations have been completed?" A smile appeared on Yan Peng's face.

"Yes, our department has been working on this for these days. Everything is ready. All we need is the east wind." Luo Weiran nodded.

"Okay, great!" Yan Peng clapped his hands and laughed, "The First Army came earlier than us and was stronger than us. Xu Yuan always felt that he had overwhelmed me. When the soldiers of the First Army saw me, the Second Army My brothers also feel that they are superior to us, but this time, I want them to see the majesty of my second army and fight this battle well. When I see Xu Yuan again, it will be my turn to laugh at him. "

"As you wish!" Luo Weiran said.

"On the east coast, only Dubo Village is left, I'm afraid it won't last long." Looking at Luo Weiran's eyes looking towards the east, knowing Luo Weiran's thoughts, Yan Peng said sadly: "General Chen Bin is your friend, I'm afraid this time , it’s hard for him to survive.”

"Chen Bin is a man who has died several times. He is not afraid of death, and I also believe in his ability. It is not easy for the Donghu people to capture Dubo Village." Luo Weiran said firmly: "I believe in him , will definitely hold on until the final moment of victory.”

"I hope so, Chen Bin, a brave general."

In Dubo Village, Chen Bin gasped and threw the blood-stained sword on the ground. He had just repelled a wave of enemy attacks. Dead bodies were everywhere on the city and below. As the commander-in-chief, Chen Bin also had to mention Da Dao personally went into battle.

After resting for a while, Chen Bin stood up again, "Brothers, throw down the bodies of Dong Hu Manzi and don't let them defile our city wall. Pull up all the ones that can be pulled up with nails and repair them. Then repair it.”

In Dubo Village, following Chen Bin's shouts, the tired soldiers immediately became active again. They cleaned the city head, repaired their weapons, and brought in baskets of snow to pat the damaged areas of the city head. The enemy's attack will not stop for long. There is still some time before dark today, and I think the opponent will launch another attack.

Chen Bin patted a ball of snow tightly with a shovel and looked up at the huge siege ramp that was approaching the city wall step by step. The worry on his face was obvious. P
