Chapter Eighty-Eight: Killing

The compelling cold light exploded here in an instant, and before those doubtful Humeng soldiers could react, the scimitar unsheathed in Yan Wuji's hand had already taken the lives of more than a dozen people, in their eyes, Yan Wuji was like a ghost, scurrying back and forth in the camp, and every time he appeared, the blade in his hand would mercilessly wipe the neck of a Humeng soldier.

The eight guards behind Yan Wuji also joined the battle with the Humeng scimitar in their hands at this time, this group of guards responsible for defending the baggage battalion is not strong, and the will to fight is also very weak, perhaps because they have not been in the rear for a long time without contact with the battle, at the beginning of Yan Wuji's terrifying killing under the deterrence, these Humeng soldiers dared to hold a knife and go forward desperately, only a few people, and the rest of them fled to the outside of the camp in unison.

A Humeng man hurriedly ran out of the tent, his eyes were still a little sleepy, and he was scolding and scolding very fiercely, wearing the same Humeng military uniform as Yan Wuji.

Apparently he is the centurion in charge of this place.

But what he never dreamed of was that there was a corpse of soldiers lying on the ground in front of him, each with only one wound on the neck, but it was this wound that took their lives.

The centurion was startled at first, and then wanted to turn around and hide back in the tent, but before he could turn around, Yan Wuji, who had already locked on to him when he appeared, gently slashed his neck with the scimitar in his hand.

The unbelievable Humon centurion slowly fell into the tent behind him, and with a "bang", two weak and brief screams were startled.

Yan Wuji frowned slightly, opened the door curtain and walked in, only to see two Yan women snuggling in the corner shivering, the same haggard face, the same naked, maybe they were the reason why they were favored by this centurion, and they obviously suffered a lot less torture.

"Can you still run? If you can, find a piece of clothing to put on, and get out of here immediately! ”

The two Yan women in the tent were originally startled by the dead centurion, who had been tortured by this guy in the past few days, but when they saw him in front of their eyes, they didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and another Humeng man wearing the same military uniform as the centurion broke in again.

The two of them thought that this person had come in to kill them, but the next moment, this Humeng man opened his mouth to speak a proficient Yan dialect, and the two of them who were in doubt couldn't believe their ears for a while, but the person had already turned around and walked out, so they panicked and tore off a few rags to wrap their bodies, and fled in a hurry.

Yan Wuji came out of the big tent, and the battle outside was nearing the end, except for the dead and incapacitated Hu Mengbing who fell to the ground and wailed, there was no one standing anymore.

When the eight pro-soldiers saw Yan Wuji come out, they consciously moved closer to him, Yan Wuji glanced at them, only one of them had some skin trauma on his arm, and all the others were almost unharmed.

"Mr. Qian, what about the people of Yan Kingdom in those big tents?" I don't know who asked, and at the same time, the two women in the tent also walked out with a panicked face, and then approached the place where Yan Wuji and the others were a little cautious.

Yan Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, "Both, we have important things to do, we can't walk with you, and I want to protect your safety, please forgive me." ”

Then he waved his hand at his subordinates and took the lead in running towards the stable behind the camp, the reason why Yan Wuji decided to do something to these Humeng guards was not because he wanted to rescue those dying Yan women, but because he wanted to take the horse.

With horses, they will be faster and reinforcements will come faster.

Nine people rode Humeng's war horses and rushed all the way out of the camp, with a raging sea of fire behind them.

Yan Wuji looked back, there was a little unbearable in his eyes, and he was gradually swallowed up by the sea of fire, in addition to the Humeng baggage and Humeng soldiers in this baggage camp, there were also those dead or dying Yan women, who may have been happily cooking and washing their newlywed daughters-in-law at home a few days ago, or they may be waiting in the boudoir, looking forward to the future of their own red clothes and a sedan chair to marry their sweetheart's yellow flower girl.

But now, they were about to be engulfed by the raging fire behind them, and those who still had the strength to flee had fled when the fire was kindling, and those who had no strength could only wait for the flames to gradually consume her.

Yan Wuji didn't know what they would have at this moment of their dying, whether it was despair or relief, Yan Wuji didn't have time to stay on this issue for too long, so he felt that it should be relief, rather than waiting for death in his last life, or being rescued by the later Hu Mengbing and continuing to humiliate, it was better to burn all the fire and burn all the filth.

I also asked myself in my heart, why do you make decisions about life and death for others? But now it doesn't matter so much to him.

"Drive!" With a whip on the horse's buttocks, Yan Wuji finally glanced back at the Humeng camp that was getting farther and farther away, where the lives of hundreds of Yan people were left behind, as well as a warm heart.

Although the war is still burning on the edge of the Yan Kingdom, the defense system of the entire Dingzhou has been operating, Liangcheng as the state seat of Dingzhou, there are two inner and outer city walls, the outer city wall is relatively short, only half a head taller than adults, there are no soldiers stationed on it, and there is no equipment to defend the city, and the role is more like a moat of a city.

Although there is a moat built around the city when it is built, it is basically used as an ornament, because Liangzhou is located in the northwest, the water source is not abundant, and the people's daily water is not yet satisfied, how can there be excess water poured into the moat, and the amount required is not enough for a few wells.

But because the geographical location of Liangcheng is very important, so later the imperial court built a low city wall outside the moat, and the role of this city wall is to prevent the enemy from launching a rapid charge on the inner city wall, if the enemy wants to attack the inner city wall, you need to first climb over the outer city wall more than one person high, and this time, is standing on the inner city wall, the best sniper time for the condescending Yan Kingdom longbowmen.

Moreover, there is a moat between the outer and inner walls, although it is dry and waterless, but there is a gap between it and the ground, which can also bring great trouble to the enemy's actions, and those war horses and large siege equipment can only be deterred by the complicated defensive arrangements of this cool city.

Because of the martial law of the whole city, the gate of the bustling city in the past has been tightly closed at this time, and groups of heavily armed Yan soldiers are on the city wall, looking out of the city from time to time.

But beyond the city walls, the busy streets and the cries of hawkers are still the main theme of this city that wakes up to the morning light.

Dingzhou Governor's Mansion

Yan Zhiyun, the governor of Dingzhou, is waking up from the joy of last night, last night the political envoy of Liangcheng didn't know where to get a few Loulan women, and the ecstatic figure and seductive eyes made him still have endless aftertastes.

Reaching out and touching the smoothness around him, Yan Zhiyun sighed with some regret, if he didn't know that the guy from the Duhu Mansion was going to come over to discuss the city defense with him, he would be reluctant to come out of the gentle countryside at this moment.

Although the highest military governor of Dingzhou is Yan Hu, who is in the Guanguan, but the affairs of politics and public affairs are under the control of the governor of a state, and as the highest administrator of a state, although he cannot mobilize the Northwest Army under Yan Hu, as a local auxiliary defense army, it is under the control of the capital protectorate.

The garrison of Liangcheng was divided into two parts, the main force was the 20,000 trapped troops under the command of the Northwest Army Corps, which was responsible for guarding the city wall and resisting the invasion of foreign enemies, and the patrol battalion was responsible for security and defense.

The military system of Yan is divided into group armies and local armies,

The group army is mainly responsible for foreign warfare or fighting against invading enemy forces, while the local army is an army recruited by the governors of each state, but the imperial court has made a clear rule on the number of local patrol battalions, a state capital can have a strength of 3,000 patrol battalions, and other counties can only have a strength of 1,000 to 1,005.
