080 Defending the City (4)

Qin Luo was the first time he had close contact with King Yel, and he had heard that Yel Khan was a calm and loyal man. Three years ago, when he looked at it from afar at the Horse Racing Festival, Qin Luo felt that Yelezaron was not a simple character.

This time, Qin Luo was ordered to visit the Great Khan King, and saw that Yelezaron was about forty years old, burly, with a few strands of beard on his face, sitting upright on the main seat, not angry and arrogant. According to etiquette, Qin Luo put his right hand on his left shoulder and bowed his head to salute. Hearing the deep voice of the Great Khan of Yel above his head, the Great Khan said, "Excuse me, envoys, please take a seat." ”

When Qin Luo peeked at the Great Khan King, Yelezaron was also observing him. Qin Luo's skin is much whiter than that of ordinary Xiangqiang people, and at first glance he is a person raised in a southern water town. He is gentle, humble and polite, and no matter how you look at it, you don't think that such a person will betray the country for glory.

King Yele asked curiously, "I heard that Mr. Qin is from the Chu State. ”

"Yes." Qin Luo calmly admitted, "I was originally a captured slave of the Chu State, but fortunately I was appreciated by the Khan, and I stayed by his side to be a strategist." ”

"If the Khan can take a fancy to you, Mr. Qin must be very resourceful." King Yele said, "In this negotiation, my youngest daughter is also full of praise for Mr. Qin. ”

"The Great Khan has a good reputation." Qin Luo said modestly.

"This time, I will hand over my Chishui elite to you, and I hope you can live up to your trust and take them to Qingyun and defeat the Black Rock Division."

Qin Luo hurriedly said: "In the next literati, I don't dare to take on this heavy responsibility. I only hope that General Lise of your department and the soldiers of the Shuangchi Army will work together to save Qingyun from fire and water. ”

"Mr. Qin...... Can't do martial arts? "It's also strange that the Great Khan of Yel is a little bit of a self-defense skill in the steppe. It was really surprising that a powerless person like Qin Luo, who had not been killed, could still speak in front of the Khan.

Qin Luo smiled self-deprecatingly: "Yes, I can only read in the next place, and it is useless." ”

"How could Mr. Qin be useless." "In that case," said Yelzaron, "I will ask General Lisse to send a few more guards to Mr. There are no eyes on the battlefield, so be careful, sir. ”

"Thank you, King Great Khan." Qin Luo nodded in thanks.

"After the war, there are still many things that need Mr. Qin's help." King Yel said, "When the time comes, I will let my second daughter go to Qingyun to send her sister off, and she will talk to her husband in detail." ”

Before the war began, the Great Khan of Yel began to worry about dividing up the spoils. Qin Luo naturally wouldn't break Ye Lezaron's thoughts, so he admitted: "I will definitely try my best to cooperate with Miss Ye Le's second lady." ”

Outside Danyang City, the black pressure in the distance was full of enemy troops. They walked neatly with ladders, catapults and crossbows, and rushed towards the city of Danyang. The soldiers of Tuoba Yan and Qingyun stood on the high city wall, staring solemnly into the distance.

"There are very few cavalry on the other side, mostly infantry, about 50,000 people." A soldier said.

"It seems that they did not put all 100,000 troops into the battlefield." Tuoba said to General Kutulu, "This is a temptation. ”

"Yes." General Kutulu thought so, too.

"Come on." Tuoba Yan drew his scimitar, "I'll let you go and never return." ”

Seeing that the opposing team was approaching, General Kutulu ordered in a loud voice: "All archers listen to my orders and take arrows!" ”

The archers stepped forward, took out their arrows, drew their bows, and aimed them in the sky.

General Kutulu watched the other party approach, approach, and approach, and finally waved his hand and shouted, "Release the arrow!" ”

In an instant, ten thousand arrows were fired. An overwhelming rain of arrows shot at the opponent's formation, and soon, the enemy who rushed to the front row was hit by arrows, and the people in the back row continued to raise their thick shields and advanced forward in the rain of arrows.

"Steady, steady." The enemy's generals are also commanding, "Raise your shield to defend and advance slowly!" ”

The second wave of arrows came as scheduled, but unfortunately the opponent was prepared, and the second attack did not cause major casualties to the opponent. General Kutulu watched as the other party was about to carry the ladder to the bottom of the city. So he hurriedly commanded: "Throw stones, prepare." ”

"Oh no, their catapults and crossbows are coming." Tuoba Yan looked into the distance and said anxiously to General Kutulu.

"Defense, defense!" General Kutulu shouted, "Everyone squat. ”

Sure enough, the opponent's strong crossbow broke through the sky and shot towards Danyang City. Then there was a huge stone, which lit a fire and threw it at the tower. Tuoba Yan didn't expect Heiyan to be so powerful now, not only did he have elite Black Panther cavalry, but even the siege equipment was a lot more advanced. However, on the Xiangqiang grassland, there is only a tall city in Danyang City. The Black Rock Department spent a lot of money to do this, either to attack Danyang, or to attack Nanchu.

"Black Rock is really well prepared for this battle." Tuoba Yan said indignantly, "Father Khan really underestimated Black Rock and underestimated Mozang Dag's ambitions. ”

"Khan, it's too dangerous here." General Kutulu ran over and said, "You are the Khan of Xiang Qiang, please enter the Golden Palace first, and leave it to the last general here." ”

"No, I'm not going to leave the castle." Tuoba Yan resolutely refused, "I want to be with my soldiers. ”

"Khan!" General Kutulu was speechless in a hurry, and he didn't know how to persuade such a stubborn person.

"General Kutulu, don't worry, I will protect myself." Tuoba Yan said, "I can't do anything to abandon my own soldiers, don't persuade me anymore." ”

General Kutulu had no choice but to accept his fate, he knew that Tuoba Yan's martial arts were good, but he was still not at ease, and let a few Qingyun Iron Guards protect the safety of the Khan.

The war continues......

The enemy finally advanced under the walls and erected a high ladder under the walls. One Black Rock soldier after another, holding a shield in one hand, began to climb the ladder. Tuoba yelled at the Qingyun soldiers: "Stop them, throw stones down." ”

"Shoot the arrows!" General Kutulu was also loudly ordering the archers to shoot arrows at the enemy in the distance.

"Khan, they're starting to bang on the gates." A soldier came over to report.

"What about Alam and Abutai?" Tuoba Yan immediately said, "Let them hurry down and hold the city gate." ”

"Yes!" The creep took the order and left.

Mixed with the shouts of people and the sound of "knocking" on the door, the Danyang City Tower at this moment is full of all kinds of noisy sounds. Qingyun's soldiers, with all their might, overturned the ladder that the enemy had set up, risked their lives, poked their heads out, and threw stones downward.

And the soldiers of Black Rock also climbed upwards one after another. Their commander encouraged: "Whoever is the first to ascend Danyang City will be rewarded with a hundred taels." ”

After hearing this, the soldiers of Heiyan were even more like crazy and rushed towards the city tower of Danyang. There were also people who desperately rammed the chariots, hoping to break through the city gates.

After receiving the Khan's orders, Alam and Abutai immediately came down, commanded the soldiers, and blocked the city gates. They moved everything they could get in the way of the door within their field of vision. On both sides of the gate, one side attacked, the other side defended, and the intensity of the battle was comparable to the battle of guards above the castle tower.

"General." Black Rock's cavalry rode to the rear and reported, "Qingyun's defense is too strict, we can't attack it." ”

"General." Another cavalryman ran over, "The gate can't be opened, ask for reinforcements." ”

The general looked at the city tower in the distance, and remembered what the Great Khan of Mozang had said, this battle was just a test, and he must not kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.

Thinking of this, the general immediately waved his hand and ordered the whole army, "Collect the troops!" ”

Black Rock's army, like a tidal wave, retreated all at once. Seeing this, the soldiers on the tower raised their weapons excitedly and cheered: "They retreated, they retreated." ”

"Khan, they withdrew their troops." General Kutulu also said excitedly.

Tuoba breathed a long sigh of relief, but now was not the time to really relax. Black Rock's attack was obviously just a temptation. But I didn't expect that even the temptation almost made them attack the city tower, if Mozang Dag came with the Black Panther cavalry, wouldn't Qingyun be in danger?

"General Kutulu, send people to guard the tower, don't relax your guard." Tuoba Yan instructed, "Gather all the generals, and be sure to go to the Golden Palace at night to discuss the military situation." ”
