Chapter 87: Motivation

In Ruyin City, the defenders of the city saw that the dust was flying in the south, and the enemy's banners were crooked, and it seemed that the elite of their own attack had defeated the enemy army, so everyone was happy and cheered.

Previously, knowing that the enemy who came to invade Ruyin had a strength of 100,000, and it was led by a brave and warlike "one-legged bronze man", the defenders of Ruyin couldn't help but feel worried, how could they have today's morale.

The one-legged bronze man was in the hanging gourd, not only resisted the onslaught of more than 100,000 officers and soldiers, but also defeated the official army.

The enemy army claimed to be 100,000, but was defeated by his own 800 cavalry, such a hearty victory, it was really exciting, everyone was full of confidence in holding Ruyin City, many people wanted to go out of the city to help the battle, but the main general had forbidden to do so beforehand.

Eight hundred elites assaulted the enemy formation, and it was done, and no one needed to add fire; Defeated, no matter how many soldiers go out, it is useless.

Therefore, it is only necessary to keep the south gate drawbridge flat, and wait for the elite to come back, regardless of victory or defeat, to enter the city in time, if the pursuers follow very closely, the door must not be opened.

In the dusty wilderness to the south, a cavalry suddenly approached, and the defenders of Ruyin saw the return of the elite of the attack, and were waiting to open the city gate, but when the cavalry approached, they looked carefully, and found that the other party was not their own people at all:

Before Li Chengshan attacked, he agreed with the remaining generals that if the mounts of the people who came did not have strips of cloth wrapped around their necks, they were not them.

Since it is an enemy army, then it is necessary to be prepared for defense, at the south gate of the city, many soldiers struggle to pull ropes, to raise the drawbridge outside the city gate, to avoid the incoming enemy directly attack the city gate.

The north side of Ruyin is Yingshui, the other three sides are land, there is a trench dug outside the city, and the river water is used as a moat, and if the enemy army wants to enter the city, it must first pass through the drawbridge outside the gate.

Although the south gate has been closed, it is always bad to let the enemy cross the trench through the drawbridge, not to mention that in order to let the returning elite enter the city, the inside of the south gate is not blocked, and once the city gate is destroyed by thunder, it can only be blocked by flesh and blood.

However, when the drawbridge was only halfway up, the enemy cavalry had already rushed, and they threw their iron claws to grab the drawbridge, and then drove their horses backwards, and pulled the drawbridge by force, and some people jumped off their horses, threw iron claws to hook the drawbridge, and then climbed the drawbridge along the ropes on the iron claws.

Dressed in heavy armor, the soldiers used their axes to cut the iron cables attached to the two ends of the drawbridge, which were the junction between the ropes and the drawbridge, despite the arrows from the city.

At the same time, some cavalry shook the thunder like a meteor hammer and threw it through the trench towards the city gate.

In the sound of explosions one after another, the city gate was riddled with holes, and the iron cables at both ends of the drawbridge were also cut, and when the drawbridge fell with a bang, the attacking cavalry rushed across the bridge to the city gate.

The soldiers in the city tried to block the gate by pushing the Saimen knife cart, but they were blown up by the thunderbolts thrown by the enemy horses, and the defenders also threw thunderbolts to fight back, and the attacking and defending sides then began hand-to-hand combat at the city gate.

The battle was soon decided, and the siege cavalry crushed the defenders who had hastily blocked the gate with more than half of the casualties.

The follow-up cavalry shouted and rushed into the city, and the defenders who were rushing towards the city gate in the streets were knocked down by the galloping horses, and the hastily organized defense line soon collapsed, and the shouts in the city rang out, and more and more cavalry rushed into the city.

The defenders of the city knew that the general situation had gone, and some people fled to the north of the city, trying to escape from the city before the enemy soldiers took control of Ruyin, and escaped Yingshui, while others threw down their weapons and stood in place silently waiting to surrender.

On the outskirts of the south of the city, the elite army of Li Chengshan's department was annihilated, and in the middle army, Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen looked back at the barbarians who were still fleeing, pressed his temple, and signaled Tian Liuhu, the leader of the 'volunteers', to approach:

"Go, bring someone to catch up, and persuade them well, don't run away, if you run again, you will delay dinner at night."

"Uh... Yes, the grass people take the order! ”

Tian Liuhu replied that he still doesn't have a half-official position, so he still claims to be a "grass people", and the performance of those barbarians who fled is too embarrassing, and he is embarrassed to say that he and the volunteers also came out of Dabie Mountain.

It's not that Yuwenwen doesn't promote his own people, Tian Liuhu and other leaders of the slave catching team don't want to be constrained too much, so they have been serving Yuwenwen in the form of "volunteers".

Seeing that the flag had changed at the head of Ruyin City, Yuwen Wen breathed a sigh of relief and said to Han Baohu, the head of the march on the side: "Xinyigong, Qinghe Gong has gone down to Ruyin, next, it's up to Xinyigong." ”

"Marshal, please rest assured, Han Mou will definitely turn the Ying and Vortex area upside down!"

Han Baohu replied, he traveled thousands of miles to Huaixi, saw Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen again, listened to his dispatch, and attacked the two Huai.

The other party's means are very good, quickly go down to Hezhou Ruyin, and then gather a group of rabble, so arrogantly set up a formation to surround Yingzhou Ruyin, lead the enemy to attack with a soldier, and then break the enemy in one fell swoop.

On the day he arrived in Ruyin, he took the city, and with such rapid progress, Han Baohu admired Yuwenwen a lot and was full of confidence in his own next battle.

In this operation, the division of labor was clear, the barbarians were responsible for the "true color performance", as the soldiers to attract the elite of the Ruyin defenders to attack, and Yang Su, who was the duke of Qinghe County, was responsible for the counter-charge and quickly took Ruyin as the head of the march.

If the enemy army does not take the bait, then besiege the city, and now that Ruyin has fallen, it is the turn of Han Baohu, the commander of the march, to lead his troops and horses to attack and harass all places, so that the enemy's nearby states and counties will not be at peace.

Han Baohu led the troops away, Yuwen Wen looked at the direction where the other party left, his eyes did not move, Zhang Dingfa, who was accompanying the guard, saw this and approached, and said in a low voice: "King, that person should have no malicious intentions." ”

"Well, what do you think?"

"My lord, I think this person has heard of the king's prestige, and now that he can see it with his own eyes, he will take a few glances from time to time."

Hearing this, Yuwen Wen looked at Zhang Dingfa, smiled and tapped the other party with his hand: "You, it's too blunt." ”

Zhang Ding laughed without saying a word, and followed Yuwen Wen to ride his horse forward, preparing to enter the city with the army.

Yuwen Wen is now appointed by the Son of Heaven as the Marshal of the Southeast Road March, and all the troops and horses under his command are marching for the Southeast Road, and Yang Su, who has made meritorious contributions, was appointed by the Son of Heaven as the head of the march, and Han Baohu, the head of the march, led the troops to help, all of which were under the command of Yu Wenwen.

The rest of the soldiers and horses were appointed by Yu Wenwen to the post of marching chief and below.

And when Yuwenwen met Han Baohu, who had come all the way to Huaixi, he found that among his relatives, there was a young man staring at him from time to time.

In this regard, Yu Wenwen's first reaction was that this person was his enemy, and he was mixed with Han Baohu's relatives and intended to wait for an opportunity to assassinate, so he was thinking about whether to strike first.

But after many observations, Yu Wenwen found that this young man who was not a few years younger than him did not seem to have malicious intent, and now that Zhang Dingfa said the same, it should be that he thought too much.

Yu Wenwen pondered while riding a horse, he thought that this good-looking and dignified young man had another motive for his behavior.

Perhaps, it is a woman who dresses up as a man, and she is interested in the famous King of Xiyang, and she doesn't have to say it!
