The autumn wind is bleak, and Yucheng, which has been carnivaling for half a month, has finally returned to calm, and with the approach of the wolf rider attack, all parts of Cizhou are making final preparations in a tense and orderly manner.

Gaoyang Pass, built in the Tang Dynasty, especially to block the Khitan wolf to ride south, but Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures were lost, Xiongguan was also occupied by the Khitan, Gaoyang Pass south is an endless plain, a little south is Baozhou under the rule of Lixian, over Lixian and then to the south is Xingzhou Cizhou area.

At night, the sky is full of stars and the fields are vast.

On the wilderness of Gaoyang Guannan, a dense sound of horses' hooves came, a fire dragon jumped into sight, and under the bright firelight, a capable and silent team marched south.

The autumn wind is calling, the yellow sand is rolling, and the stars are dim at this moment!

The wasteland is lonely, and the horse is neighing! Thousands of wolves rode on their waists, wore scimitars and shoulders and hung strong bows, roaring across the barren land, the first one, short but stout enough, and the ruthless man was the famous warrior of the Khitan Nanjing Xijin Mansion, and it was Kurui, the helper of Wuliji's invitation to go south. He was originally a member of the Xi tribe, but after the Khitan people joined the north, he joined the Khitan.

"Whew!"

In the silent wilderness, with a wolf howl from Kurui, thousands of wolf riders also joined in groups.

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

A loud but suffocating sound resounded throughout the wilderness.

The sky had passed the darkest of nights, and began to turn white, with a whistling of Curry!

"Chirp!"

More than 1,000 Khitan wolves poured into the wilderness like a tide, and the frenzied subway hooves mercilessly knocked on the earth, making a frenzied sound, and even the earth was trembling slightly!

Lixian County, Baozhou, facing each other in Yingzhou Gaoyang Pass of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, is the place where the Hedong Army and the Khitan wolf cavalry have repeatedly clashed, in recent years, the Khitan civil strife, the Baozhou Hedong Army under the leadership of Guo Wei, is becoming stronger and stronger, as the bridgehead of the north to resist the wolf ride, the Lixian County Order is also long-sleeved and good at dancing, a few years down, Lixian gradually has a turnaround, and the Xi people of the Rong people who come and go sell fur livestock here. The local merchants in Lixian County traded silk and thick salt, iron and other goods.

In the early morning, Lixian opened the city gate as usual, to welcome the people of all ethnic groups in the grassland from the north, to trade here, the strength of the Hedong army, the wolf cavalry did not dare to directly attack its front on weekdays.

At this moment, the sound of galloping horses' hooves suddenly sounded outside Lixian, and the wolf rode out of the wilderness like a ghost, all holding scimitars, and the sharp blades reflected the rising sun, shaking dazzlingly cold.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The Hedong Army stationed in Lixian County spotted the wolf rider for the first time, and immediately beat the drum to warn, and the dull drum sound resounded throughout the land.

"Whew! Shout! ”

The wolf's feathered arrows flew over with the sound of horses' hooves, and the Hedong sergeant who was warning on the city wall was shot to death on the city wall, and the drumming stopped abruptly.

"The wolf is coming! The wolf is coming! ”

The villagers in Lixian County reacted that after a few years of peaceful life, they almost forgot that there was still a wolf riding to rob them, and they heard that the wolf riding was coming. In an instant, the entire Lixian County exploded, and the panicked villagers rushed to flee for their lives, but they didn't know where to go.

"Whew!"

The shouts of the Khitan wolf riders sounded again, and thousands of wolf riders swarmed from the city gate.

"Close the gates! Light the beacon fire! "The Hedong Army stationed in Lixian County is well-trained, closed the city gates, lit beacon fires, and prepared to engage in battle, as the bridgehead of the northern front, the garrisons are all elite old sergeants, although there are only two sergeants, but they are not afraid.

"Boom!"

The wolves came like a tidal wave, their hideous faces were clearly visible, and arrows rained down on the city.

"Woohoo!"

Raindrops of arrows also landed on the city, and as soon as they saw it, the Hedong army at the head of the city lost several men. The wolf rider was not easy either, and the arrows that flew down from the city also made a dozen wolf riders fall from their horses.

But the arrows at the head of the city could not stop the charge of the wolf horse, a few years of tranquility made Lixian no longer pay attention to defense, the slightly simple city gate, under the violent collision of the wolf horse, did not wait for the head of the Hedong army to go to block the city gate.

With a bang, the city gate of Lixian was knocked open by a wolf rider. The head of the Hedong army rushed to the crown in anger, waved the long knife, and said sharply: "Brothers, kill the wolf horse!" ”

The Hedong Army, which responded violently, brandished weapons, followed the capital, and killed the surging wolf riders together, this tragic battle ended in half an hour, and the Hedong Army stationed in Lixian County was finally drowned in the rolling wolf cavalry.

And the plundering has just begun, the wolf riding the raging iron hooves into Lixian County, which will also become a bloody barren land, they began to kill and loot brutally, and the unarmed villagers and merchants fell in a pool of blood with a wail.

Ku Rui's expression was gloomy, he stood on the tower of Lixian County with his hands solemn, looked south, and the corners of his mouth were evilly mentioned, the goal of his trip was not Lixian, but Liujiabao in Cizhou. Lixian City is on fire everywhere, shouting and screaming and crying, and the whole city is under the hooves of wolves riding subways**, they wander around the city like beasts in search of prey, and loot everything that can be done.

……

It's the day, Lixian County.

The city has been broken, the villagers are not, the corpses in the whole Lixian city are all over the field and the blood is flowing, nearly 10,000 Lixian villagers were washed and plundered in one day, stepping on the ruins on the steps, the Hedong army made Guo Wei surrounded by a group of generals, the face was gloomy and climbed the head of the ruined Lixian city, the eyes were red and looked at the city, the beacon fire was not extinguished, a ruin.

The war of aggression is so cruel and bloody, especially the peoples on the grassland, the people are fierce and ignorant, but they advocate force the most, in their concept strength determines everything, the strong is king, and there is endless killing and plunder.

At this moment, the wolf rider had already fled away, leaving this mess behind, Guo Wei shouted angrily, pulled out the long knife cang, slashed into the broken city wall, and said fiercely: "The Khitan wolf ride, the rest will be wiped out!" ”

A man behind Guo Wei, his face was also gloomy, and a pair of sword eyebrows were also shaken by such a scene, this person was Guo Wei's adopted son Chai Rong, but after hearing what Guo Wei said, his sharp eyes flashed a hint of color, Guo Wei is now a soldier with authority, and has been suspicious of the Han Emperor, although the Hedong Army is brave and good at fighting, and the wolf ride is difficult to break its sharpness, but without the permission of the Han Emperor, how dare Guo Wei use the sword soldiers, only afraid of another god.

……

It was night, Baozhou, Hedong Army.

The night was deep, the atmosphere in the big tent was condensed into ice, Guo Wei returned from Lixian, he sat in the tent with a gloomy face, Guo Yunmin Chai Rong sat under the hall with a solemn expression, and the torch in the tent "beeped" continued to sound in the quiet tent!

After a long time, Guo Yunmin sighed and said in a faint voice: "Envoy, this time to fight with the wolf horse, it is better to report to Longcheng, besides, the place we are guarding in Baozhou is not disturbed by the wolf horse, so why worry about Cizhou." ”

Guo Wei's eyes were cold, and he was silent, and the atmosphere in the tent was even more depressing.

As Guo Yunmin said, although Cizhou belongs to the Han Dynasty, it has long been independent, and the Hedong Army has less negotiations with Cizhou, and Cizhou will not see how much the Hedong Army is welcomed.

Chai Ronghu opened his mouth and said: "Cizhou, which is also my territory of the Later Han Dynasty, how can I indulge the wolf riding and plundering, but I have to get His Majesty's permission before sending troops!" But then it took ten days. ”

"Ten days?" Guo Wei frowned, and said in a deep voice: "I can't wait, ten days is enough for wolves to ride back and forth to Cizhou!" ”

With the sentinel report, the wolf cavalry is now south, two days later can knock on Cizhou City, if Cizhou is vulnerable, another looting, it will be staged in Cizhou, Chai Rong thought carefully, but the time is too late, although Guo Wei also heard that Cizhou is a place, in the hands of the new city lord Liu Feng has been greatly improved, but this time the wolf cavalry of Cizhou went south, not only the Lion City Wuliji, the elite five thousand wolf horses of Nanjing Xijin Mansion have passed through Lixian County.

"Four days!" Guo Wei stood up with both hands on the table, "In four days, no matter whether Longcheng can give a reply or not, the Hedong Army will definitely go south, and if this wolf rides, it will not be able to return to the grassland in this life!" The categorical tone does not allow the two of them to question it.

"Yes!" The two clasped their fists and said, "I'll do it later!" ”
