The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 167
The shore, which was still full of fighting sounds, slowly fell silent. It seemed that with the coming of darkness, the people who had been fighting had let go of their killing thoughts and returned to calm.

On the opposite bank of the river, Li Chuang, the leader of the grain army, looked at Jia Yan who was questioning a messenger, and heard his question.

"You can see clearly whether there are still soldiers guarding the head of Yangping City."

"Reporting to my lord, the little one can see clearly that there are soldiers guarding the top of Yangping City. In order to prevent misreading, the little one pretended to be a refugee and approached. Although he was driven away by the guarding soldiers, the situation on the city wall But you can see clearly." The soldier who sent the order reported.

Jia Yan nodded, but did not continue to ask questions.Then a gleam of joy appeared on his face.

Seeing his appearance, Li Chuang opened his mouth and asked, "Have you discovered anything, sir? Why are you so happy?"

Jia Yan smiled and said to Li Chuang, "General, Yangping will be captured in a short time."

"Oh, sir, what do you mean by that?" Li Chuang asked.

Jia Yan touched the three strands of beard on his chin, and said unhurriedly: "General, the Yangping garrison still has the strength to leave armor in the city, which means that the Yangping garrison still has strength at this time. Increase the intensity of the attack by the river, when the riverside defenders can't stand the pressure, they will definitely ask for help from the city."

"At that time, there will only be two situations. One is that Yangping's defenders will be exhausted. At that time, we only need to send a few teams to cross the river from the upper bank of the river, and then we can easily capture Yangping. The defenders will be confronted by the enemy front and back, they cannot advance, they cannot retreat, and they will definitely be defeated."

"En." Li Chuang nodded thoughtfully, and asked, "Then what about the second situation?"

"The second situation is that these defenders withdraw from the river and retreat to Yangping. However, as long as our army crosses the river, we can surround them to death even if we are besieging the city with the number of troops. Naturally, we don't need to be there, but Yangping will not be broken." Jia Yan explained. road.

Li Chuang didn't say anything more?He felt that the matter was not as simple as what Jia Yan said, because what Jia Yan said just now was almost nonsense and was of no use at all, because the premise of the success of the matter was that the Yangping defenders would cooperate as Jia Yan imagined.

However, based on the effect of the previous siege, he felt that Jia Yan was not such an idiot who only knew to talk nonsense, so he felt that Jia Yan hadn't exhausted what he had just said.

Although Li Chuang thought about it in his heart, he didn't pay much attention to it.Anyway, the one who most wants to capture Yangping is not himself but Jia Yan, he will not play any tricks on this kind of thing.

Li Chuang waved his hand and ordered to the left and right: "Move some more people up and increase the attack."

As the left and right left to pass orders, the surrounding atmosphere became quiet again.

Jia Yan looked towards the battlefield, and saw that the densely packed soldiers of the grain army, with a piece of coarse cloth on their heads, were continuously descending from the river bank into the river on rafts, and then slowly replaced the dead comrades in front of them, advancing little by little. .Forward and successive.

On the opposite side, the Yangping garrison was also standing on the other side of the river, constantly blocking the attack of the Liang army.At this time, the entire river was already full of various corpses, including those from the Liang army and those from the Yangping garrison.

Although the river is constantly flowing, corpses will be washed downstream by the river water every moment, but corpses will fall into the river from the boat and the bank every moment.

Blood flowed out from the corpse, dyeing a river red with the corpse as the center.

With the increase in the number of troops attacking by the Liang Army, there has been a vacancy in the defense line of the Yangping defenders by the river. After so long of offensive and defensive battles, finally there are soldiers of the Liang Army who can slowly gain a firm foothold by the river.

However, before Liang Jun could be happy, he saw one person leading a small team of more than a dozen people riding horses back and forth on the river bank.

Liang Jun was beaten back into the river again.

Jia Yan pointed to the general on the horse and asked the people beside him, "Who is this man? He is so fierce?"

A general appeared next to him and said, "This man's surname is Guo. I only heard the Yangping garrison call him General Guo. He should be the leading generals in the Yangping garrison."

Jia Yan followed the voice, and saw that the person talking to him was a general who led the army across the river a few days ago.

Jia Yan nodded, and then said to Li Chuang: "General, this man is a fierce general. If we let him fight like this, it will be difficult for us to attack the shore, so we must get rid of him first." Lose."

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and looked at Li Chuang.

Li Chuang nodded, and said to the generals beside him, "Who are you going to take it down?"

After he finished speaking, the left and right generals looked at me and I looked at you, but neither said a word.

They could also see clearly that the enemy surnamed Guo was charging just now, they tried to put themselves in that position, wondering if they could do that.

"What? On weekdays, I have no place to show my martial arts all day long. Now that the opportunity has come, why don't you dare to go forward?"

Seeing all the soldiers behind him shrinking their heads and pretending to be quails, Li Chuang's face was a little ugly, and he said angrily.

Although they have no idea in their hearts, they will never admit it on their faces.A military commander stepped forward, cupped his hands at Li Chuang and said:
"General, if we fight fairly on flat ground, our subordinates will not be afraid of him, but it only takes three moves and two moves to take him down, but now this man is on the bank of the river. After I attack the river, my energy will be exhausted. Most of the time, if this person is taking advantage of the situation, it will be a bit difficult to deal with."

Hearing what the soldier said, the corners of Jia Yan's mouth twitched. Although it took a lot of energy to cross the river, the man said before that he could take it down with only two moves and three moves. It's gold.

But he just thought about it, he was a little unpopular in the first place, and if he continued to sneer at him, increase the morale of the enemy army, and destroy his prestige, it would definitely make everyone look bad.

However, he did not speak, but someone spoke.

After the general finished speaking, after a strange silence, another person came out. This person was a young general, only in his 20s.

The man took a step forward and laughed loudly: "You group of people, you can talk, but when you meet a general, you shrink your head and tail, and shirk it. How difficult is it to take his head, wait for me to go and take his head."

After this man said, the faces of all the generals were not very good-looking, especially the general who just stood up to speak, an angry look flashed across his face. Compared with other people, this man said this, it was like hitting him The face, and it was the kind that spit out after the beating.
