Volume 1 Hundred Battles Yellow Sand Wears Gold Armor Chapter 9 The Fall of Longxi City

Wang Junlin never lacked decisiveness and courage, the bow and arrow in his hand shot three arrows in a row, shot three people to death, rushed into the crowd, a bloody battle, Wang Junlin killed seven Qiang soldiers, and finally rushed out, but his war horse was cut on one leg, and after rushing out more than 100 meters with him, the war horse screamed and fell to the ground.

Wang Junlin flew down before the war horse fell to the ground, rolled on the ground just to avoid a rain of arrows, and without saying a word, got up and rushed into the dense forest next to him, and more than 20 Qiang soldiers followed closely and chased in.

One of the leading Qiang soldiers was extremely fast, and he was walking on the ground in the mountains and forests, and the distance between him and Wang Junlin was constantly pulling, but Wang Junlin suddenly turned around and shot an arrow in the middle of running, and the Qiang man hurriedly dodged, but Wang Junlin had already calculated the amount of advance, so the Qiang soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, and the Qiang soldiers behind were startled, and the speed instinct slowed down a little.

Drilling into the bushes in front of him, Wang Junlin suddenly disappeared, these Qiang soldiers saw this, their hearts were vigilant, and they slowed down, but at this moment, Wang Junlin suddenly appeared from behind a big tree, and with a whoosh, one of the Qiang soldiers in front was shot to death.

Naturally, the Qiang people will not chase and shoot, but Wang Junlin is always able to dodge at critical moments.

Jungle warfare is King's Landing's forte, and King's Landing even has the title of King of the Jungle in the mercenary world in later generations. Therefore, once he entered the mountains and forests, he was like a fish in water, from a prey to a hunter, he was a hunter, and the Qiang warriors who pursued him naturally became the prey.

The deeper you go into the mountains and forests, the more lush the trees become, and after Wang Junlin deliberately lured these twenty or so Qiang warriors into the depths, they disappeared. The more than 20 Qiang warriors scattered to search for Wang Junlin's traces.

They would never have imagined how terrible the Sui soldier they were chasing and killing after entering this mountain forest......

A Qiang warrior who fell behind was trekking between the trees with one foot deep and one foot shallow, cursing something in Qiang words in his mouth. When he passed an old tree, without warning, a palm from behind the tree suddenly stretched out a hand, and covered his jaw and mouth, and before he could struggle, the sharp short knife had already cut his throat.

Wang Junlin gently dragged the corpse silently behind the tree and hid it, his expression always indifferent and calm in the process.

A famous Qiang warrior disappeared quietly in the mountains and forests, and when the still alive Qiang warriors began to be alert, they were powerless to stop the pace of death.

As a special forces soldier in later generations, a mercenary who is mixed in various dangerous missions in the world, in fact, what he is best at is lurking, sneak attacking, assassination, and probing. Wang Junlin is especially adept at lurking and assassination, these two skills have made him a haunting ghost, constantly creating fear with blood.

These Qiang warriors were empty of force and bravery, but when they could not even see the shadow of the enemy, the sharp bows and arrows and machetes in their hands became useless, and most importantly, they had lost the possibility of escaping - they went too deep into the forest.

In the end, only five Qiang warriors remained, and they gathered together, fearful, calling out the names of their companions in vain and cursing their vile enemies.

This strange way of fighting has completely lost their courage, and all that remains is fear and despair. The instinct of survival made them flee desperately in the direction of the mountain.

Suddenly, a bush next to him burst into the middle figures, and the figures staggered, and one of them clutched his throat and fell to the ground.

When the other four people heard this, they turned around, and saw only their companions whose throats had been slit and their hands and feet were unconsciously twitching, and the frightened and fierce eyes of the four men roamed around, but they could not find any trace of the enemy.

One of the pale fellows, as if choked by the throat by a demon, finally broke down with reason, and suddenly shouted wildly, turned around and ran. But before he could take two steps, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and there was an extra feather arrow on his neck that had been shot through the front.

The other three people finally found the trace of Wang Junlin because of this feather arrow, and rushed forward with a knife with a shout, this time Wang Junlin did not leave the lurking again, but also greeted him with a cold look with a knife.

The reason why he wanted to play lurking, ambushing, and assassination just now was not that Wang Junlin liked this, but that there were many people on the other side, and he was killing head-on, and he was not completely sure that he would not be injured, and now there were only three people left, just practicing knives.

After a dozen breaths, the last three Qiang warriors also died, while Wang Junlin was intact.

It's just that this jungle chase lasted for two or three hours, and his physical strength was too much.

The Qiang Gedao Department is in the nearby mountains, there may be a large number of pursuers at any time, Wang Junlin did not dare to stay in the mountains for long, a little rest and ran towards Longxi City at full speed, in his opinion, the safest place is where Longxi County is located.

However, when he had crossed the last hill and looked ahead, he was astonished, his face changed greatly, and he quickly crawled to the ground and hid himself in the grass.

This place is less than five miles away from Longxi City, and on the official road leading to Longxi City at the foot of the mountain, there is a convoy that is almost exactly the same as the one he was in before. To be precise, the people are still the forty-two people, but the soldiers accompanying the grain and grass are no longer Liu Gang and his party.

Seventeen soldiers, dressed in Liu Gang's military uniforms and armor, carried their weapons, and carried the relevant documents that Liu Gang carried. And what made Wang Junlin feel the most chilling was that the seventeen people who pretended to be Liu Gang and his party were not Qiang, nor Tuyuhun or Turkic, but pure Han Chinese. Apparently these are seventeen traitors. What Wang Junlin didn't know was that these seventeen people were seventeen Han believers of the Nestorian Sect in Yongzhou, and of course they were also seventeen dead soldiers.

And just two miles behind this convoy, there were 1,000 Qiang cavalry following very carefully, and then there were 6,000 or 7,000 Qiang soldiers who did not ride horses.

"At this time, it is almost dark, and they want to take advantage of the poor vision at night to open the gate of Longxi City? However, there are 5,000 defenders in Longxi City, with excellent armor and weapons, and they occupy advantageous positions, I heard Liu Gang say that Longxi Taishou and the guards are all powerful people, even if the city gate is opened, the Qiang people do not highlight their combat strength, can they get a good deal and occupy Longxi City? Wang Junlin was a little puzzled in his heart.

But what Wang Junlin didn't know was that on the other side of Longxi City, that is, in the north, there was another cavalry of 1,000 people escorting Dugu Moyu, the governor of Yongzhou, to Longxi City, only the 200 people in the front of this cavalry were Han, and the rest were Turks, and after this 1,000 people, another 2,000 Turkic cavalry quietly followed two miles away.

……

……

In the third year of Renshou, on the tenth day of the eighth month, the Qiang Gedao Department pretended to be the Sui army's grain transportation team and opened the southwest gate of Longxi. At the same time, at the North City Gate, the Turkic cavalry pretended to be the personal soldiers of Dugu Moyu, the governor of Yongzhou, on the grounds that Dugu Moyu had a sudden illness and returned for treatment, and Zhang Chengju, the head guard of Longxi City, saw with his own eyes that a personal soldier helped Dugu Moyu out of the carriage, so as to open the city gate and easily let the Turkic cavalry enter the city.

Wang Junlin stood on the top of the hill five miles away from Longxi City, looking at the fire that suddenly ignited in Longxi City from near the north and south gates, and there was a faint sound of killing coming from the wind, and the vicious battle in the city lasted for half the night before it gradually calmed down. He saw with his own eyes more than 6,000 Qiang infantry entering the city. He knew that Longxi City had fallen into the hands of the enemy.

At the same time, the Great Sui Metropolitan Governor Yujuluo commanded 100,000 troops, and the vanguard had reached Tianshui County.

Wang Junlin did not leave Longxi immediately, after thinking deeply, he thought that this was an opportunity for him to change his fate, and he believed that no one knew the process of the fall of Longxi City before him. Of course, there is some information that needs to be further investigated.

Lurking near Longxi City, it took a day for Wang Junlin to manage to capture two Gedao scouts and a Turkic scout. The torture method of later generations was not at all something that these three foreign scouts could bear, and Wang Junlin easily learned the truth about the fall of Longxi City from their mouths.

Then, Wang Junlin rode south on a war horse stolen from the Turkic scouts and headed for Tianshui County.

……

……

Since the founding of the country, the Great Sui monarchs and ministers have planned to incorporate the Hexi Corridor into the territory, open up the Western Regions, and restore the glorious territory of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so for how to attack the Tuyuhun people who occupied the three counties of Wuwei, Zhangye, and Xiping, and then how to counter the inevitable intervention of troops from the Western Turks, and take the opportunity to recover Dunhuang County, etc., a series of plans and programs, up to the three provinces and six departments of the imperial court, down to the governors of the northwest prefectures and counties, the history of the assassins, the Taishou and the Cheqi Mansion, have not been less researched, discussed and prepared for this matter. For example, the unimpeded official road from Kyoto Daheungjo to Jincheng County, the grain, grass and military materials hoarded in the prefectures, counties, counties, and forts along the way, and so on.

Therefore, when Tuyuhun's army came to attack Jincheng County, the troops of other counties in Yongzhou rushed to the front line according to the plan as soon as possible, and the 100,000 troops of the imperial court could also be dispatched so quickly.

Of course, while the Great Sui monarchs and ministers calculated Tuyuhun and the Western Turks, the other party was also not idle, compared with the wealth of the Sui Dynasty, the Tuyuhun and the Western Turks lived a much poorer life. Therefore, the desire of Tuyuhun and the Western Turks to seize Yongzhou in the Great Sui Dynasty was much stronger than that of the Sui Dynasty's monarchs and ministers planning the Hexi Corridor.

Originally, the various contradictions within the Western Turks, as well as between the Western Turks and the Tuyuhun people, were also very deep, and the Sui Dynasty secretly sent people to make trouble, so the internal disputes of the Western Turks never stopped, and the war with the Tuyuhun people also came every few months. In this case, how can you still have the ability to send troops to the Great Sui.

But this situation gradually changed until three years ago, when a mysterious sect called Nestorianism began to spread rapidly in the Western Regions and even throughout the Northwest. As a result of this change, the Western Turks, Tuyuhun and Qiang secretly united and took the initiative to attack Yongzhou.

Judging from the current situation, under the secret control and guidance of this mysterious sect, the plan of the three clans is going smoothly - for the Great Sui, Longxi County has fallen into the hands of the enemy, because the back road has been cut off, the grain and grass have been cut off, the morale is sluggish, and Jincheng County is in danger.
