Chapter 4 The troops are approaching the city
"Woo, woo, woo..."
Along with a long sound of horns sounded outside Anyi City, the atmosphere in the capital of the Wei Kingdom immediately became extremely solemn.
Driven by this atmosphere, the numerous Wei soldiers in the city were in high spirits without the need for orders from the lieutenant general.
"Dong, dong, dong..."
At this moment, the rumbling sound of war drums sounded in Anyi City, announcing that a war was about to come to this city.
Along the steps of the city wall, groups of Wei troops wearing hard-wearing armor climbed to the top of the Anyi city and stood on their positions.
As for the archers who were the main force in long-range attacks, they had already lined up behind the female wall of the city wall.
"Archers prepare."
A loud command sounded at the top of the city, and the archers who received the order took out arrows from the quivers behind them.
Draw a bow, set an arrow...
The instincts developed through countless trainings have made these Wei army archers extremely familiar with the strong bows in their hands.
After a smooth movement, feathered arrows appeared on the bowstring.
At this moment, the scorching sun hanging high in the sky fell on the earth, and the sharp arrow clusters emitted a faint cold light.
These sharp arrow clusters were aimed at none other than the army of Wei soldiers wearing the same color armor outside the city at this moment.
Just when the situation on the top of the city was tense and a war was likely to break out at any moment, a burst of rapid footsteps appeared on the stairs.
The next moment, a man wearing the armor of a Wei general appeared at the top of the city, leading his lieutenants and a dozen soldiers.
He used his fastest speed to pass through a famous Wei soldier, and finally arrived behind the city wall of Anyi.
Looking out of the city with a somewhat solemn gaze, and taking in the scene in front of him, the Wei general's expression became particularly ugly.
Following the line of sight of this Wei general, we can see that Anyi is now heavily surrounded by Wei Wei and his army.
Outside the city wall of Anyi, red phalanxes stood quietly one after another. They were like mountains, giving huge oppression to the Wei soldiers on the city wall.
In the center of this red ocean composed of Wei military formations, a red flag showed its style in the wind.
Under the flag, Gongshu Cuo, the commander-in-chief of the army, stood on the chariot, looking at the Anyi City standing quietly in front of him while mobilizing the army in an orderly manner.
"The stone car is ready..."
"Bed crossbow ready..."
"The soldiers come forward..."
…
When orders were conveyed to the ears of every soldier in the phalanx, this war machine was executing every order extremely efficiently.
After a moment, the action of this war machine suddenly came to a standstill, as if everything just happened did not exist.
At this moment, a depressing atmosphere gradually spread on the battlefield.
This atmosphere tortured every soldier inside and outside the city, and it tightened the heartstrings in everyone's heart.
Perhaps, only when the order to attack is given, the soldiers on both sides of the war can be freed from this depression.
"Huhuhu..."
Heavy breathing sounded from the mouths of the soldiers on the city wall. At this moment, they could even feel the beating frequency of their own hearts very clearly.
Their eyes were fixed on the soldiers wearing the same color as him outside the city, quietly waiting for the moment when the war order was issued.
But just when the Wei soldier thought that the enemy's siege was about to begin, the Wei army's formation outside the city suddenly gave way to a path.
"Drive, drive, drive..."
"Xu..."
After a few breaths, a chariot came out of the Wei army's phalanx, and finally came to the eyes of these Wei army soldiers.
"General, I am the eldest son."
His eyes swept over the chariot, and after recognizing the figure in red armor, the deputy general on top of the city immediately looked at the general beside him with some surprise.
The deputy general recognized the identity of the figure. How could the general of the Wei army, who was the defender of Anyi, not recognize it?
When Wei Wei's figure appeared in front of them, the Wei general's left hand tightly clenched the long sword at his waist.
As for the expressions on the faces of the pair of Wei generals on the city wall, Wei Wei, who came under the city wall at this moment, naturally saw it very clearly.
After gently passing his gaze across the pair of generals and taking in the sights of the surrounding Wei army archers one by one, Wei?'s brows showed a bit of solemnity.
"Soldiers, I am here today."
When Wei Wei directly and clearly stated his identity, the Wei soldiers on the city wall were only in an uproar.
They did not expect that the young master Wei Wei, whom they had once loyal to, would stand in front of them so majesticly at this moment.
Wei Xi did not pay attention to the horror in the hearts of the Wei soldiers on the city wall, and then turned his eyes to the tens of thousands of soldiers behind him.
"Not only did I come today, I also brought tens of thousands of powerful soldiers."
"Soldiers, I ask you to ask yourselves, can you really stop the tens of thousands of soldiers under my command? Or are you wasting your lives in this meaningless war?"
Wei Wei's repeated questions and the tens of thousands of soldiers waiting in formation outside the city made the tens of thousands of soldiers guarding the city wall more or less hesitant.
They were originally asked to fight against their former comrades, but these Wei soldiers were somewhat reluctant.
What's more, judging from the huge military strength outside the city, this is destined to be an extremely brutal war.
Can they win this war? Can they survive this war?
Wei? The problem just now turned into a nightmare, always lingering in the minds of these Wei soldiers.
Standing under the city wall and looking at the expressions of these Wei soldiers, Wei Wei knew that his words just had an effect.
And what he has to do now is to add the last handful of firewood to the flame that is about to burn.
I saw Wei?'s right hand slowly climbing up to his waist. After a crisp sword sound, a long sword with a faint cold light appeared in his hand.
"Soldiers, I hereby swear that no one else will be punished now or in the future except Wei Huan, the chief culprit of this rebellion."
"If you break your promise..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei? He clenched his long sword and slashed forward. He heard a crisp sound of wood breaking, and the crossbar in front of the chariot was broken into two pieces on the spot.
Seeing this scene happening outside the city wall, the Wei soldiers who were on duty at the city wall immediately felt a little moved in their hearts.
If these soldiers were still hesitant just now, then most of them had already made plans to surrender.
Although these Wei soldiers did not express their attitude, their secret movements quickly blew over the city wall like a breeze.
Feeling this undercurrent surging under his command, General Wei, who also heard Wei?'s oath, naturally felt a little entangled in his heart.
Just when the left hand of the Wei general on the city wall was tightening, the deputy general quietly took half a step forward.
"General, I think it is best to surrender as soon as possible at the moment."
The deputy general's words were like the straw that broke the camel's back, directly making the Wei general make up his mind.
"call……"
A breath of turbid air was slowly exhaled from his chest. The Wei general's right hand slowly released, and his whole body relaxed completely at this moment.
After calming down a little, I saw the general's face became solemn, "Open the city gate and welcome you."
"Here."
A moment later, when the city gate slowly opened with a sound of wood squeezing, Wei?, who was standing on the carriage, finally showed a smile on his face.
"All officers and men of the army, listen to my orders..."
"Enter the city!"
