Chapter 22: The Battle of Amahara Castle Part I
The thick clouds in the sky were rolling, and the fire bolts that pierced through the sky were dense like rain.
Seeing the two armies tug-of-war back and forth in the position, the battle situation seemed inextricable for a while.
Yu Wenshuo, the general stationed in Fancheng, stood on top of the tower, fully armed and solemn.
At this time, a figure climbed the city tower and bowed his hand to him: "General Hexi has got his wish." If you do another miracle here, you will definitely be able to impress the adults with the festival. ”
"Mr. Chu is here, hurry up and excuse me. Yu Wenshuo said, "Fortunately, Mr. gave me guidance, and my father was willing to let me lead the troops to fight." ”
"Lord Guy is just thoughtful, not a servant. The other party replied respectfully. However, I saw that this figure was yellow and thin, with high cheeks, and a blue birthmark on the left corner of the eyebrow.
"Sir, there is no need to be too modest. According to what you see, will our army be able to win this battle?"
"Longyou's soldiers have enough food, why is the little general worried?"
"That's what I want. Yu Wenshuo suddenly became proud, and his voice was full of bohemian meaning. "If Mr. had come ten years earlier, I'm afraid the monsters on Heta Mountain would have been pacified. ”
"Now it's not too late to make a contribution. Chu Xin replied with a smile.
"Not bad. If this battle is won, I will definitely play my father and promote Mr. Li's first merit. ”
"I'm afraid I can't wait to be rewarded. ”
"What?" Yu Wenshuo's expression suddenly froze, and he still didn't understand what he meant.
However, at this time, Chu Xin coldly pulled out the dagger hidden in his sleeve and stabbed into the opponent's neck unexpectedly.
Fortunately, Yu Wenshuo was slightly aware of this, and hurriedly reached out to grasp the tip of the knife that pierced into the skin, and the blood flowed down the blood groove on both sides of the dagger.
"Sir, is this crazy?"
"I'm not crazy, it's just that you're stupid. ”
Yu Wenshuo suddenly came to his senses and said in shock: "Could it be that you have already taken refuge in Taichen Kingdom?"
"It's a pity you found out too late. Chu Xin said this, sinister smile at him.
At the same time, Wei Jiqian, who had been lurking here for a long time, revealed his figure under the dougong, pulled out the soft sword at his waist with his free hand, and flew out with his feet on the red pillar, swinging the knife from Yu Wenshuo's back.
I saw that he suddenly slashed with a quick sword, causing blood to gush from the other party's cut throat.
In the end, Yu Wenshuo covered the completely severed carotid artery, and after a few steps, he fell to the ground and died.
Immediately afterwards, the castle tower changed banners, and the soldiers guarding the city actually killed each other.
Later, Wei Jiqian leaned his left arm against the red pillar, stopped there and looked at Dugu Ye's soldiers and horses, and suddenly said: "If Ling Zun is still here, he will be deeply gratified." ”
Chu Xin, on the other hand, stared at the five-petal red plum blossom banner fluttering on the city tower, and replied indifferently: "Yes, if he is still here." ”
It turned out that this Chu Xin's real name was Zhang Fengyi, and he was the son of Murong Hao's old department Zhang Xianfeng.
When the Murong Mansion was destroyed, the Zhang family was also implicated, and the three clans were exiled.
However, the official who escorted Zhang Fengyi was brutally killed on the way, and his whereabouts have not been known since.
According to Zhang Fengyi's own account, at that time, he was lucky to be rescued by a hermit as a young man, and followed the other party in the valley to study the six rice and three strategies and the way of shutting down.
Later, he changed his name and surname, and took refuge under Yu Wenshuo's door.
Zhang Fengyi has been secretly gathering old people loyal to Murong Mansion in Tianyuan City, and has repeatedly revealed the military situation to the Heavenly Wolf King of Heita Mountain, silently waiting for the opportunity to subvert the Yuwen clan like a dormant poisonous snake.
Until one day, Wei Jiqian, who had come all the way from Rinzhou, met with the Heavenly Wolf King Upaqi, and he learned of this person......
"I have summoned you today to fight against demons. Yu Wentao sat in the Yongtai Palace, facing the clan elders on both sides of the row and said: "In just more than ten days, the eight mansions of Longyou have lost three of them. ”
During the banquet, a veteran wearing a red silk brushed his white beard, and suddenly said: "This Tianyuan City is impregnable, and no matter how many heavenly wolves attack, there is no need to be afraid. ”
This person's name is Yuwen Yutao, and he is the cousin of the current head of the family, Yuwen Tao.
However, the side bloodline he led also has a status in Longyou.
"The monsters of Hetashan don't need to be mindful. One of the emaciated clan elders said, "What really worries me is that now that the Heaven Sealing Barrier Cave has opened, how many monsters from the Taichen Kingdom have poured in?"
This person's name is Yuwenyou, and he is a well-known wise man in the clan.
"In the past, during the Eclipse War, Dugu Hong led his troops to capture Longyou Dao, didn't our Yuwen clan cut off their bloodline?" Yuwen Yutao replied: "Right now, it's just two hairy boys who have not dried up to send them to death, what's so terrible?"
"My lord, that's not what I said. Yu Wenyou continued: "It is said that the left general of the Taichen Kingdom fought very well with the seven generals, and he fought in many places and won great victories one after another.
"Besides, the scouts on the front line have not returned for a long time, and I am afraid that the city will be lost. ”
In this case, the old man is willing to help. Yuwen Yutao immediately drew his sword and stood up, and ordered people to prepare horses. "I want to see if that bullshit General Left has three heads and six arms?"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the sound of stepping on the horse was urgent, and the dust was flying on the galloping road, which made everyone look sideways.
A young scout immediately dismounted, galloped forward like a fly, knelt on the ground and said, "Chu Xin led the people to rebel, and the city of Fancheng has been lost. ”
"What?" Yuwen Yutao roared angrily, "I said before that this son has a suspicious origin and cannot be reused, but no one believes it. It's good now, we're all going to die here. ”
After hearing this, Yu Wentao's expression changed suddenly, but he sat there silently.
And the elders of the clan are talking about this, or panicking, or shaking their heads.
As for the scout, after bringing the news, he immediately fainted due to exhaustion.
His lips were chapped and white, and white bones were faintly visible on his shoulders scratched by youkai.
Behind him were six black-feathered arrows, all piercing the blood-red iron armor.
Yuwen Miaoji hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and ordered the soldiers to carry him for treatment.
At this time, a thin clan elder mistakenly thought that the gate of Tianyuan Castle had been broken because of the back of his ear.
Therefore, his eyes widened in horror, and he opened his toothless mouth and cried, "What? Big brother has died in battle? Then we will not have a way to live!"
This man is over seventy years old and frail, and he is the only surviving brother of Yu Wentao.
I saw that his crumpled body was always lying down, and he was too thin to support the loose robe, and he looked like an old ape with his head shrunk inside.
After hearing this, Yuwen Miaoji leaned over slightly, leaned into his ear, and patiently explained: "Sixth uncle, your old man heard it wrong, Tianyuan City and my grandfather are still there." ”
Yuwen Yutao sat there with his waist straight, his face still angry, and said, "Family Master, now that Fancheng has been broken, Tianyuan City is about to be in an emergency, what should I do?"
"Naturally, we are fighting against the enemy. Yu Wentao said in a deep voice: "Ji'er, put on armor for me." ”
However, when she stepped forward with her armor, Yu Wentao whispered to her: "Ji'er, from now on, you will abscond in the starry night and seek refuge in the Northern Underworld."
"I will dispatch the elite Xiliang guards from the Flame Legion to protect you on the way.
"When the fighting is settled, you will come back with them. ”
"Grandpa, I can't go. Yuwen Miaoji burst into tears when she heard this, and took his arm and begged: "The clansmen are all here to defend Tianyuan City, how can I leave you behind?"
"Ji'er is not afraid of death, so you let me stay. ”
"Bastard, you have a more important mission on you. Yuwen Tao suddenly glared at her angrily, and said: "The army of Taichen Kingdom is menacing, and this battle is bound to be more auspicious.
"Even if we all die here, as long as you hold the Fire Demon Book in your hand, you will be able to unite the scattered forces of the Dividing Clan, and use this to revive my Yuwen clan.
"It's a big deal, don't you understand?
"If you still insist on going your own way, you decide to break your oath and mission.
"Then, I can only go to the underground palace to kowtow to the ancestors, and then apologize with death. ”
"Grandpa, don't do this, just follow the instructions. Then she began to cry, slowly knelt down at him, and replied, "May Hanyu God protect you, and wish you good luck in martial arts." ”
After six days and nights, most of Amahara Castle became devastated.
Flames burst out from the rubble, jumping in the wind.
On the scorched earth filled with green smoke, the corpses piled high like a hill.
At this moment, I saw that Yu Wentao's forehead was bleeding, and he suddenly pushed the spear in his hand forward, straight through the body of the four heavenly wolves, and burned them to ashes.
After that, the wolf with the red sun totem tattooed on his forehead came out of the pack, causing the wolf on the left and right to make way for him to obediently.
The leader of the Black Tower Mountain looked at each other viciously, and there was a raging anger in his eyes.
"Upaqi, I didn't expect you to become the leader of the Celestial Wolf Clan. Yu Wentao said coldly, "It's just that you have forgotten how Udaru died in my hands?"
"How could you forget?" Upache paused and replied, "Back then, you personally led the Flame Legion to encircle and suppress Mount Blacktower, and fought the former Great Leader, my uncle Udaru, for dozens of rounds.
"And your eldest son, Yuwen Jianxiong, is secretly attacking, piercing its sternum with a spear.
"Eventually, my uncle passed on the position of leader to me, and he died of hatred. ”
"Now that you know how it ends, you shouldn't follow in its footsteps. ”
"Temperance makes adults too self-righteous. It is not yet known who will kill the deer. Upache grabbed the burden on his back with his mouth, and shook his head at the other party, saying, "You and I are old friends, and we always have to bring some souvenirs when we meet." Come and see if that's what you like?"
At this moment, a human head wearing a red curtain rolled out of the baggage cloth.
Yu Wentao glanced there, and then clenched the spear in his hand.
Even though the old face was almost rotten, he recognized the other person's identity. This is exactly his cousin, Yuwen Yutao's head.
"A few days ago, he planned to break through to the south of the city, but after the defeat, he was captured alive by my men. ”
"You shouldn't have killed him. ”
"In order to compete for the position of the head of the family, this guy has been fighting with you openly and secretly for decades. Upache smiled and said, "It's really rare that you still want him to live!"
"The internal strife of the Yuwen clan has never needed anyone to intervene. ”
Yu Wentao suddenly stepped forward, and the pitch-black spear in his hand fell from the top of its head.
Upache suddenly flashed behind him with a nimble movement, causing the tip of the missing spear to smash into a deep ravine on the ground.
"Spring and autumn are easy, but you look older and stronger. Upache continued to say to him, "However, the Celestial Wolf Clan has endured humiliation and secretly lived in Hetashan for so many years in order to one day raze Tenhara City to the ground.
"Now I will cut off your head to comfort the souls of the departed in heaven. ”
