Chapter 634: Doing Great Things (Second Update)
When the sun set, Lian Po, surrounded by many guards, slowly rode his horse into Dingxi City.
It is worth mentioning that since the city gate was blocked, it took almost half an hour to clean the city gate and open a road into the city.
As soon as Lian Po entered the city, he saw Zhao Kuo.
"I've seen the General!" Zhao Kuo's voice still sounded full of energy.
Lian Po grabbed the horse and glanced at Zhao Kuo condescendingly.
Even under the dim firelight, you may see how embarrassed Zhao Kuo is.
The arm armor on his left shoulder had long since disappeared, and blood could still be seen seeping out under the wound bandaged with white cloth, and his face was covered with blood stains, even if there was still a distance of two or three meters between them, Lian Po could smell the strong smell of blood coming from Zhao Kuo's body.
When Lian Po looked at Zhao Kuo again, there was a little more appreciation in his eyes.
Lian Po jumped off the horse and said to Zhao Kuo: "What about the casualties? β
Zhao Kuo was slightly stunned, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face: "General Hui, there were originally 13,000 troops defending the city, and now there are still 3,400 people who can fight!" β
As soon as this number burst out, it immediately shocked several Zhao generals behind Lian Po.
For the defenders of the city, this is definitely an extremely high battle loss rate, and it is a miracle that the city can be held under the siege of an enemy ten times its size.
Lian Po's face showed a solemn look, the appreciation in his eyes was a little more, and even his voice became a lot softer when he spoke.
"Zhao Kuo, you did a good job. After this battle, I will write to Handan and personally make contributions to you! β
Once the Huns took Dingxi City, then the Lian Po army, which was dominated by infantry, lost such an important fulcrum, and the difficulty of winning would inevitably increase.
Maybe the old general used to hate the name Zhao Kuo during the Battle of Changping five years ago, but after so many years, now Lian Po looks at Zhao Kuo in front of him, and there is only one veteran on the battlefield in his eyes who appreciates and respects the new generation of generals.
To the surprise of the Huns, the army of Zhao did not attack immediately after arriving in Dingxi City, but set up a large camp outside the city, and it seemed that it was going to start a confrontation with the Huns for a long time.
In response to this, Dulonci Shan specially convened a meeting.
"The people of Zhao are unwilling to fight, obviously because they are afraid of us! Da Danyu, we should attack immediately and take the heads of these Zhao people as the white bone wine cup at the celebration banquet! β
The meeting was filled with this kind of clamour, and the people of the steppe never lacked blood and desire to fight.
But there are also people who are more old-fashioned and serious: "The people of Zhao have a full 150,000 army, and the number is 50,000 more than ours, if they attack head-on, they are likely to suffer a big loss!" β
"There are more people in the Yue Clan than us, but we have defeated the Yue Clan in the same way!"
"You little idiot, the people of the Yue clan are just a group of fools who have no brains like you, but the people of Zhao Guo once defeated Hughley Shan Yu back then!"
"You old idiot, I see that you were scared of being beaten by Zhao Guoren with Hugh Li Shan Yu back then, so now I see that Zhao Guoren is also so scared that I want to run away with my tail between my legs!"
The meeting eventually turned into a farce of scolding and fighting that gave Du Longqi a headache, and finally broke up.
Du Longqi Shan Yu did not withdraw his troops in the end, after all, his goal at the beginning was to conquer Dingxi City first and then defeat the Zhao reinforcements, since the Zhao reinforcements arrived in advance, it was not impossible to defeat the Zhao reinforcements first and then conquer Dingxi City.
In general, the Huns were somewhat impatient.
It is not only Du Longqi Shan Yu and those big and small kings who are impatient, but also Xianshan and Tu Xian.
On the evening of the fourth day when Lian Po led the army of Zhao to Dingxi City, Xianshan and Tu Xian gathered together.
"Do you think we're going to succeed in doing this?" Xianshan looked clearly a little lacking in confidence.
The next moment, Xian Shan felt Tu Xian's very obvious look of contempt.
This kind of look made Xianshan feel a little annoyed in his heart, and at the same time there was a faint sense of shame, so he couldn't help but open his mouth to explain to himself: "You must know that my mother-in-law and children are in this big camp, if they lose, they will be worse than dead." β
Tu Xian sneered and said, "Although my mother-in-law and children are not in this camp, if I lose, they will also be worse than dead." β
Xianshan whispered angrily, "But I still think we're looking for death, you know? β
"Nonsense!" Tu Xian also said in a low voice: "We have made a very careful plan in advance, and this time it will definitely succeed." β
"Fart!" Xianshan snorted and ruthlessly exposed: "Your so-called well-thought-out plan was simply come up with by patting your ass when you were playing with the Yue's woman in the tent!" β
Tu Xian glanced at Xianshan disdainfully: "What do you know, I'm taking the opportunity to get information!" Also, you're jealous of me, because your mother-in-law is here, so you don't dare to play with those Yueshi women! β
Xian snorted and said, "Stand here for me, wait for my signal!" β
Tu Xian stopped and watched Xianshan gradually move forward.
Xianshan walked to a large tent.
"What about my father?" Xianshan asked the two Aries Tribal guards at the door of the tent.
"The king is inside, he has already slept, he has ordered in advance, no one is to disturb him!"
Xianshan frowned, wanting to say something, when he suddenly heard a few gentle moans of women from the tent, and then his face changed slightly, revealing an expression of disgust, and said, "My father is playing with women again?" β
The guard spread his hands and made a helpless expression.
Xianshan suddenly laughed, gently waved his right hand hanging on his waist three times, and said, "That's good, but it saves a lot of hands and feet." β
"Whoosh!" As soon as Xianshan's words fell, two arrows suddenly shot out of the darkness, hitting the eyebrows of the two guards with unmistakable accuracy, piercing their brains, so that they fell directly backwards and fell to the ground before they even had time to scream, and died instantly.
A few drops of warm blood squirted onto Xianshan's face, and the fishiness made people feel very uncomfortable.
Xianshan suddenly smiled, slowly pulled out the long sword in his hand, lifted the curtain in front of him, and walked into the big tent in front of him.
The moans of women and the gasps of men filled the entire tent, and Xianshan took a few steps forward to the couch behind the screen, and sure enough, he saw the bodies of a man and three women entangled together.
Needless to say, the male is naturally the father of Xianshan, the Aries King, while the woman is a few female slaves given by Du Longqi Shan Yu.
The appearance of Xianshan provoked a burst of exclamations from the woman, and the Aries King turned his head in surprise and stood up.
"Xianshan, what's going on?"
Xian Shan smiled slightly, ignoring the anger of the Aries King: "Father, please give me your white jade horn." β
The White Jade Horn is a token of the Aries King, and only those who possess this horn can mobilize the thousands of warriors under the command of the Aries King.
The Aries King narrowed his eyes, and his gaze flashed from the unsheathed weapon in Xianshan's hand: "Xianshan, I didn't expect that I still misjudged you. β
"Nope." Xianshan shook his head and said very seriously: "Father, I am correcting your mistakes, otherwise the entire Aries tribe will be wiped out because of your stupid mistake." β
The Aries King laughed and said, "Xianshan, Xianshan, you are always so naΓ―ve, do you really think that such a surprise attack can threaten your father?" Tu Xian, come out for me! β
Tu Xian's figure slowly emerged from the shadows.
The Aries King saw Tu Xian, and then smiled even more happily: "Xianshan, I am really disappointed, I thought you had lost your way, but I didn't expect that you had no intention of repenting at all, but wanted to use such means to seize your father's military power, which is really disappointing." β
"In that case, then it seems that there is no need for me to continue to waste time on you, Tu Xian, do it!"
The voice of the Aries King was very decisive and full of murderous intent.
Xian Shan glanced at the Aries King in front of him with a strange expression: "Father, do you want Tu Xian to kill me?" β
The Aries King snorted and said, "Is it only allowed for you, a rebel, to assassinate your father, and not for my father to clean up the door?" Tu Xian, what are you still hesitating about, do it quickly! β
The Aries King's voice was already a little impatient.
Xianshan sighed softly, and looked at his father with a look of pity in his eyes: "Father, you were gullible to others back then, so you were defeated under Du Longqi Shan Yu, but I didn't expect that even now, you have not learned your lesson at all." Tu Xian, do it. β
The Aries King suddenly had a warning in his heart, and when he turned his head, he found that a huge fist was constantly enlarging in front of him.
"Bang!" Tu Xian's fist hit the Aries King in the cheek, and this punch was extremely powerful, directly knocking the Aries King unconscious with one punch, and two blood streams flowed in his nostrils.
Xian Shan shook his head, looked at the few screaming and huddled up in a ball of Yue Clan female slaves and said, "Who of you knows where his Aries horn is placed? Say it, and I will spare you from dying. β
A moment later, Xian Shan and Tu Xian walked out of the big tent side by side, Xian Shan with a smile on his face and a small white jade horn in his hand.
Tu Xian glanced at Xianshan: "I originally thought you would kill him." β
Xianshan shrugged his shoulders: "There is no need for that, because after tonight, whether we succeed or not, he will not be able to continue to be the king of Aries." β
"Okay. What else do we need now? β
"It needs a fire, the kind that can burn down the whole camp."
A moment later, the flames began to ignite from the camp of the Aries tribe.
