After Xie Dongli sent the queen and her party back to Beizhuang on the mountain, he sent 500 people to garrison them, half for protection and half for surveillance.

Of course, the queen can't care so much at this time, she only hopes that the more people stationed in Beizhuang as possible, for fear that the crazy woman with the big cake face who kidnapped her out of the palace will come again and rob her again.

This time, Qing'er and Xiaofuzi followed the queen mother inseparably.

Xie Dongli also assured that there were his people stationed in Beizhuang, and it would be absolutely impossible for outsiders to come in.

After settling down on the queen's side, Xie Dongli took his guards, including the little ones dressed in sleeves, to Daxing City.

At this time, it was evening, and the remnant sun was like blood, sprinkling the last rays of sunset on the sunset mountain, illuminating the blood red in the middle of the mountain.

Yingsleeve rode a horse, followed closely by Xie Dongli, and came to the open space not far in front of Daxing City.

The dense tents I saw yesterday have been put away.

On the flat ground, rows of sergeants stood in a very layered manner.

The squatting sergeant at the front held a rattan shield to protect himself.

Behind these sergeants stood archers wearing heart-protective armor and armed crossbows.

Behind the archers, rows of siege engines and catapults.

At the rear, there was the most elite and fierce cavalry in the right army of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom.

Each cavalryman was dressed in heavy armor and held a spear, and even the horses they rode were covered with iron armor.

Such cavalry, of course, is not a light cavalry that runs on the plains and is mobile and flexible, but a heavy weapon that can withstand the enemy's arrow rain and kill all the opponent's living forces when attacking the city!

They don't need to run fast. You just need to press in with all your strength and push into the city unstoppably.

This part of the sergeants in front of the city gate is not all the sergeants who came from the Eastern Yuan Kingdom this time.

And two-thirds of them. It was arranged on the left and right sides by Xie Donglian, monitoring Yongye City, where the Northern Qi State was also stationed with a large army, and monitoring the direction of the Southern Zheng State all the way, in case they were attacked by the other two countries when they attacked the city.

And Xie Dongli is most worried about the mountain path behind Xizhao Mountain.

……

Ah Shun took seven or eight scouts and followed a subordinate of the Hong family to the foot of the mountain behind the Xizhao Mountain.

It took a lot of effort on their part. I came to the secret entrance of the cave.

Even though it's winter, there are still many evergreens on Mt. Sunset, and thick leaves fall on the ground. It's rotten, piled up like a trap, and if you walk up it, you'll get stuck in a pile of leaves.

"Official. This is the entrance. "The descendants of the Hong family came to the mouth of the cave. Just as he was about to push away the vines at the entrance of the cave and enter, he suddenly studied, changed his mind again, turned sideways and avoided to the side, and let Ah Shun and them go in first.

Ah Shun threw a torch into it and lit it up.

Everyone looked at it and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so Ah Shuncai smiled at the subordinates led by the Hong family and said, "Little brother." Or do you go in first, how do we know the way? ”

The Hong family actually refused. just laughed and said, "What did the official say?" There's only one way to get in, so where do you need to find it? ”

The scouts who came with him were all veteran oils, and when they saw the sneaky eyes of the Hong family, they felt that there was a problem.

An older scout laughed twice, grabbed the shoulders of the Hong family, and said, "We haven't been in again, how do we know how many roads there are?" What if there is an extra one? You better go in first! As he spoke, he pushed the man inside.

The people of the Hong family let out a miserable scream, "Don't ......! ”

Soon his voice was gone.

Ah Shun and the scouts looked at each other, and hurriedly shouted inside: "Little brother? Little brother? ”

There was no sound coming from inside, and the torches that had been thrown out earlier had been extinguished, and there was silence inside, as if the people of the Hong family had disappeared out of thin air.

"What should I do?" Ah Shun knew that there must be a problem inside, but as for what the problem was, he couldn't think of it for the time being.

"Ge Laozi, is it that the Hong family and the Wu family have communicated and want to set a trap to harm Lao Tzu?!" One of the scouts shook the knife in his hand and sneered, "Let's have a big game!" As he spoke, he instructed everyone to collect the fallen leaves and branches.

In winter, these things are most abundant on the sunset mountain.

Everyone soon piled up a thick pile of damp leaves and branches at the mouth of the cave.

One of the scouts took out a fire breaker, lit it in the wind, and threw it at the leaves and branches at the entrance of the cave, then took off his shirt and fanned the burning pile of leaves and branches.

Everyone understood this, and they all took off their coats and fanned the fire, and the damp leaves and branches were not burning sufficiently, and the smoke was very strong.

They fanned themselves with their coats, and the smoke drifted straight into the cave.

At this moment, a strong wind blew, and the wind fueled the fire, and the smoke became more intense, and it poured into the mouth of the cave.

It wasn't long before they heard the sound of thrashing footsteps and the uncontrollable coughing of someone inside the cave.

"him! There really is an ambush! These scouts and Ah Shun were annoyed, "The Hong family doesn't want to live anymore, right?" ”

They all think that it must be the Hong family and the Wu family who set up a trick against them, but they are not entirely correct.

"Burn me!" Ah Shun fanned the fire while asking a scout to go back and report to Xie Dongli.

Here, when the leaves were about to burn and the sky was getting dark, they covered their faces with wet cloths and rushed in while the black smoke had not yet cleared.

After this round of black smoke "smoke attack", the people in ambush at the mouth of the cave seem to have run out.

They had a fire burning in their hands, and they saw a man lying not far from the mouth of the cave.

When I got closer, I realized that it was the Hong family who led the way for them just now!

The man had a crossbow bolt stuck in his chest, and it was evident that he had been killed by the ambush men inside as soon as he entered.

"It seems that this road is not only known to the Hong family." Ah Shun said solemnly, "Everyone be careful! As he spoke, he extinguished the fire in his hand, and it was so dark in front of everyone that he couldn't see his fingers.

Several people walked hand in hand against the wall of the cave.

Inside, as the Hong family said before, there is only one road.

Gradually. The further you go inside, the darker it becomes.

Tick! Tick!

Nothing but the rhythmic sound of water droplets falling down in the cavern.

These scouts and Ah Shun are all kung fu people. The footsteps are so light that ordinary people can't hear anyone walking in the cave.

After about a meal, bright spots gradually appeared in front of me.

As you know, there's going to be a hole ahead.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

At this moment, countless arrows suddenly shot from the light in front of them!

The people on Ah Shun's side were caught off guard, and almost everyone was shot with an arrow!

Ah Shun was hit by an arrow in the arm, and the two people next to him were both shot in the chest. Immediately cut off his breath.

The first few people didn't know where the arrow was, and they also fell to the ground with a scream.

Ah Shun immediately turned around and ran back.

When they came, there were seven or eight scouts with Ah Shun.

But when I went back. Only Ah Shun and the other scout with an arrow in the back shoulder are still alive!

……

"Lord Marshal! Marshal! ”

Xie Dongli sat in the makeshift camp set up in a hidden place opposite Daxing City, and watched coldly as Ah Shun and another scout knelt down in front of him.

"What's going on?" Xie Donglian's heart sank, and his gaze shifted from the arrow on Ah Shun's arm to the arrow on the shoulder of the other scout. Understand the road behind the mountain. I probably can't go.

"Lord Marshal! We've been ambushed! The cave has always been guarded! There was a large army on the other side of the cave, and it was raining like archery, and only two of the nine of us came back alive! Ah Shun knelt on the ground and said through gritted teeth.

"Ambush?!" Xie Dongli snorted coldly, "It seems that the Hong family is even bolder than I thought!" - Someone! He snorted.

"In!" The two lieutenants immediately walked in from outside the tent.

"You, take the battalion all the way to the mouth of the cave to defend it! Show me a good look. Kill one when you come out! Xie Dong ordered in an orderly manner, "You." I went back to the villa and reported to the queen mother and the deputy head of Qing, saying that the Hong family and the Wu family colluded to set up an ambush in Xizhao Mountain and killed our seven scouts. The Hong family is the life-saving benefactor of the queen, you go and ask the queen how we should deal with the Hong family. ”

Xie Dongli's narrow eyes flashed with a fine light.

The two lieutenant generals glanced at each other, very angry in their hearts, and asked Xie Dongli with their fists: "Lord Marshal, no matter how much the Hong family has a life-saving grace for the queen mother, it can't offset the fact that they colluded with the Wu family to try to harm our army!" - Everyone who is a traitor will be punished, so why do you need the permission of the queen?! ”

They were very worried that the queen would look at the Hong family for the sake of saving her life, and the big thing would be turned into a small thing, and the small thing would be turned into a small thing.

But the scouts in the army died because of the Hong family, and this revenge cannot be avenged, it is better to cut it first and then play it!

Xie Dongli smiled, stretched out his finger and shook it: "Don't think like this, the two deputy generals, the queen mother, is the queen mother of our Dongyuan country, she must think about the Dongyuan country and kill her relatives in righteousness!" ”

The two lieutenants were skeptical, but they still took the order.

One led the team to block the entrance to the cave.

The other person returned to the villa and, according to Xie Dongli's instructions, said that there was an urgent military situation to report to the queen and deputy governor Qing.

Queen Qi Xueyun and Qing'er were very surprised when they heard the rumor, Qing'er didn't want to take care of the affairs of the army, but Queen Qi Xueyun was very interested, she nodded, "Let him in." ”

After the lieutenant general came in, he immediately repeated what Ah Shun and the others had just said.

When Queen Qi Xueyun heard this, she was overjoyed.

She is worried that she can't find a justifiable reason to execute the entire Hong family!

I didn't expect Xie Dongli to give her such a good step......

"Bold! The Hong family dared to conspire with the Wu family to kill my soldiers of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom! Even though they saved the palace, the palace can't just care about personal feelings and ignore the country's righteousness! Queen Qi Xueyun was "furious" and commanded sharply: "Qing'er! You immediately take a hundred sergeants to the Hong family, and behead the Hong family from top to bottom, leaving no one behind! If you run out of one, this palace is the only one you ask! ”

The lieutenant general was very surprised, and praised the queen mother for "righteous annihilation of relatives", which is the blessing of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom......

Qing'er's heart was also a stone that fell to the ground.

Ever since the queen ordered him to "leave no one behind", he has been racking his brains to figure out how to get rid of the Hong family quietly, and even came up with a trick to pretend to be a horse thief to destroy the door, which feels inappropriate.

It just so happened that Xie Dongli gave them such a big favor. If you don't make good use of it, I'm sorry that he Qing'er has been in the palace for so many years!

Qing'er came to Hongjia Village with more than 100 of his own murderous spirits, rushed into the Hongjia mansion, and commanded in a stack: "Close the door!" ”

……

This one night. It is destined to be an unquiet night in Hongjia Village.

Not far ahead, the soldiers of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom and the Wu family who occupied Daxing City and their generals were fighting bloodily.

In Hongjia Village, the men of ordinary families have already gone to the army of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom to join the army to help kill the enemy.

Only the richest man in the village, Mr. Hong's family, did not have a man to join the army.

But even this family failed to "stay out of the matter", they were discovered by the queen that they collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and killed the scouts in the army.

On this night, there was a killing in the Hong family's mansion. All were beheaded.

Master Hong and Miss Hong San's dream of being a wealthy family died before it began.

……

"Shoot the arrows!" On the upper floor of Daxing City, the Wu family sent an order.

Like a rain of arrows from locusts, they rushed towards the dense Eastern Yuan soldiers under the city.

But the sergeant at the front of the line held a half-height rattan shield. Cover yourself tightly, and few people are injured by arrows.

After a round of arrows, the attack on Daxingcheng's side finally slowed down.

Their bows and arrows are running out.

Xie Dongli only began to fight back.

"Archer prepare!" Xie Dongli personally came to the front of the battle, holding a longbow. Take the lead in shooting at the towers of Daxing City!

The large bow in his hand is much stiffer than a regular bow. And the arrow was wrapped in an oilcloth, and the flame burned on the oilcloth, and when an arrow was shot, the flames on the arrow drew a bright line of fire in the night sky, like lightning, and flew towards the tower of Daxing City!

One by one, the battlements on the tower were on fire, and the sergeants hiding in the battlements were all on fire and rushed out of the battlements. Throw yourself down the city and fall high. Fell under the city walls.

"Shoot the arrows!" The archers on Xie Dongli's side used crossbow arrows.

A burst of fire shot down, more lethal than the feather arrows on the side of Daxing City, and quickly wiped out the archers on the tower of Daxing City.

"Siege engines! Catapults! Above! Another round of flags fluttered, and the archers retreated, giving cover to the siege engines and catapults.

Siege engines, which could only be pushed together by hundreds of people, creaked out from behind.

There were several siege vehicles on the ground, and there was a catapult next to each one as a cover, coupled with the crossbowmen shooting from close range, they soon pressed the generals of the Wu family on the upper floor of Daxing City to the point that they couldn't raise their heads, and they were shot by the archers here as soon as they appeared.

One arrow at a time, the arrow does not miss!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Large stones were thrown onto the roof of the city tower of Daxing City by catapults, knocking out one gap after another.

The siege carts were pushed to the city gates by the sergeants and civilians.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The sound of a huge tree hitting the city gate was like a prelude to the coming of death, and the people behind the city gate were terrified, and they held spears at the city gates, but they could not stop the other party's siege footsteps.

"Pour hot water! Pour hot water for Lao Tzu! "The general of the Wu family on the upper floor of Daxing City finally resorted to the last resort, pouring hot water down from the castle tower, trying to scald the soldiers and civilians pushing the siege engine.

It is true that some people are burned, but in the cold winter wax moon, everyone wears a lot, and the burned place is not the key, but after being wet with water, the taste of slowly freezing on the body is really uncomfortable, and the speed of everyone's siege slowly decreases.

Xie Dongli held the longbow, quietly stared at the Daxing City Tower not far away, raised his head and estimated the height of the city wall, turned around and ordered: "Long Fei Ying, follow me to fight!" ”

"Marshal! Never! ”

"Marshal! You can't go! ”

Tang Qian and several generals were in a hurry, and hurriedly tried to stop Xie Dongxi, "Lord Marshal, you can strategize here, you don't have to take the lead!" Let the last general go! ”

Xie Dongli knew that this was the first time he had led the troops, and in addition to using stratagems, he also had to show force, otherwise these soldiers and ruffians would not really obey him.

"You act according to the original plan, I will take the Long Fei battalion to the city tower first and open the city gate, so as to avoid the maximum casualties." Xie Dongli commanded in a deep voice, "Everyone is in place!" If there is a violation, military law will deal with it! ”

He put forward all the military laws, and of course these people did not dare to entangle anymore and got out of the way.

The Long Fei Battalion is the most elite battalion in the Right Army of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, and the people in it are all strong in kung fu, and they are one enemy and one hundred. Climbing high and off-road is not a problem.

It's just that the number of people is not large, only about eighty people.

Yingsleeve made a decision from the first sentence Xie Dongli said. She quietly returned to the camp. Putting on a pair of Xuantie armor on his body, wearing an iron helmet on his head that covered half of his face, he came to stand still among the sergeants of the Longfei Battalion summoned by Xie Dongli.

Xie Dongli turned his eyes and saw Yingsleeve.

He gave her a fixed look and said, "Follow me." ”

This sentence was said to all the soldiers of the Longfei Battalion, and it was also said to Yingsleeve alone.

Yingsleeve nodded slightly, and his eyes were full of indomitable firmness and courage.

"Catapult ready! Archers ready! Tang Qian took his heavy armored cavalry. Also began to prepare for the charge.

Piles of fires lit on the tower of Daxing City, and the flames soared to the sky, illuminating the situation on this side of the city gate as if it were daylight.

Daxing under the city. A group of black-clothed men suddenly appeared, stepping on the city wall, waving their swords in one hand to block the rain of arrows, and climbing the gray bricks of the city wall with the other. Walking on flat ground. Soon flew up to the tower of Daxing City!

It was the storming Dragon Flying Battalion.

The cloak on Xie Dongli's body was waved in the wind, and he was the first to attack the Daxing City Tower.

He leaned forward, and swung the long knife in his hand, like a god of death harvesting life, slashing the five witch family generals in the opposite row on the top of the city tower!

Yingsleeve jumped up the wall behind him, twisted his body slightly, dodged a feathered arrow from the opposite side, and slashed back diagonally. Cut Xie Donglian's side into two pieces of the Wu family who had fallen down and stood up to attack him.

Xie Dongli stretched out his hand and pulled her behind him. Briefly, "Protect my back." ”

He knew that at this time, it was impossible to let Yingsleeve leave, so he used this method to make Yingsleeve accept his protection.

Yingsleeve nodded, and stood back to back with Xie Dongli all the time, blocking all attacks from behind for him.

The night wind gradually became fierce, and the fire reflected the blood-red eyes of everyone.

"Brothers! Our people have already gone up to the castle! ”

"Surrender! We've got in! ”

The sergeants of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom under the city began to shout loudly.

The Wu family in the city will be frightened when they hear it, and the people who were driven by them to defend the city are unwilling, and they kill one after another, at this time, the timid ones turned around and ran, and the bold ones directly took the weapons, and fought with these Wu family generals in the city!

Xie Dongli led the Long Fei battalion to attack the city tower, and soon commanded people to rush down to the inner city, slashing and killing all the soldiers defending the city, and opening the city gate at the same time!

First the left gate, then the right gate, and finally the middle gate.

When the three city gates were opened, the siege vehicle commander of the Eastern Yuan soldiers drove in and crushed the Wu family defending the city to death.

The generals of the Wu family who were not crushed to death had to face the slashing of the heavily armored cavalry who entered the city at this time!

Xie Dongli stood on the wall of Daxing City with a long knife in his hand, firmly controlling the situation.

More and more soldiers from the Eastern Yuan Kingdom rushed to the castle tower, and soon occupied all the key passes.

Yingsleeve has always stood in the closest place to him, never abandoning.

Seeing that the city had been captured, Xie Dongli looked back at Yingsleeve, and Yingsleeve also looked back at him.

The two didn't speak, but they only felt that they had the same heart when they looked at each other, and they didn't need to say much.

On the tower of Yongye City of the Northern Qi Kingdom, which is far away from Daxing City, there are also countless soldiers in armor with swords and arrows, closely watching the situation on the opposite side.

Few people know that Xia Fan, the Governor of the Northern Qi Jinyi Guard, with a few henchmen, mixed with the soldiers of the Northern Qi State, also came to Yongye City to watch the battle.

He didn't want to come, but his "niece" Xia Yanxiang heard that Xie Dongli personally led the troops to attack the city in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, and he was very interested, so he tried every means to persuade Xia Fan to come with him personally.

At this time, she was wearing a Xuanjia, standing on the stool next to Xia Fan, climbing high and looking into the distance, holding a column-like telescope in her hand, looking at the situation on this side of Daxing City almost greedily.

Others can't see it as clearly as she does.

Under the telescope, everything in the distance is pulled close, as if it were close at hand.

She saw with her own eyes the heroic posture of Xie Dongli leading the troops to capture the city, and she was dazzled.

Everything in heaven and earth faded before her eyes, leaving only his black clothes and iron armor, and he struck a blow to the world!
