Chapter 353: Battlefield Ghosts
As soon as Bai Bi died, Liu Yong immediately carried out a brutal blow to the forces of Bai Bi in the city, it was not difficult to deal with these people, there were Zhao Yun, Ling Tong, Kou Feng, Chen Zhi, and Bai Maojun, the four gates were closed and could not escape, and soon these people were killed one by one, and the heads were hung at the head of the city like Bai Pi and others, and they were displayed for three days.
Hundreds of human heads hung on the city, and everyone was frightened, even Liu Yong himself was frightened, and he had many nightmares.
The city was cleared, and Zhao Yunling led a few people to replace the defense at the head of the city, Liu Yong temporarily relieved himself and returned to the mansion to rest a little to relieve his tense nerves. But just after dawn on the second day, a sergeant came to report that the barbarians were besieging the city.
Liu Yong hurriedly put on the top of the city, between which a large number of people were densely packed outside the city, and there were barbarians in different costumes everywhere, all over the mountains, and all kinds of flags depicting various animals and birds were everywhere, seeing such a scene, even if Liu Yong was used to seeing the battlefield, he also felt that his scalp was numb and his head ached.
"Put away the city, prepare more defensive things, and it is best to prepare some flammable things such as fire oil, and report immediately if there is a situation!" After observing for a while, Liu Yong said to Ling Tong, who was in charge of defense.
When he turned around, he saw Kou Feng and hurriedly asked, "Have you ever guarded the tunnel in that Bai Pi house?" ”
Kou Feng immediately replied: "It has been blocked with boulders and the like, and people have been arranged to defend at all times!" ”
Liu Yong nodded, the most important thing now is to delay time and wait for Gan Ning's reinforcements to arrive.
Liu Yong was obviously too relieved to himself, and before noon, the barbarians began to attack the city in a big way, and they had the momentum of breaking the city in one fell swoop. At this time, Chen Zhi suddenly came to Liu Yong.
"You want to go out of town and attack?" Liu Yong deeply felt the danger of Chen Zhi's plan, this was simply a journey to death with no return, Liu Yong was very reluctant to let the white-haired army that he had built up with great difficulty fall like this, and frowned.
However, Chen Zhi's face was as expressionless as ever, and it was really difficult to see where his strong self-confidence came from on his mask-like face to restrain such a large force.
seemed to have guessed Liu Yong's thoughts, Chen Zhi's face changed slightly, and he had a trace of imperceptible worry, but he really didn't retreat: "Lord, you have put so much effort and capital into the white-haired army, it's time for us to contribute to the lord." Five hundred white-haired troops, to take away three hundred, leaving two hundred to guard the lord. In addition, the minister still has a matter to report to the lord, before leaving Nanchang, Mr. Ziyang was worried about the lord's comfort, and had let him secretly lead another 500 white-haired troops, these 500 people have been secretly following, and have not shown up, this is not completely uncertain! ”
Liu Yong's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Is this true? ”
Chen Zhi knelt on the ground: "The minister didn't dare to deceive the lord, and Mr. Yang instructed him not to tell the lord until the moment of crisis, so he has not reported it according to the truth, and he hopes that the lord will atone for his sins!" ”
Liu Yong deliberately lowered his face and said, "Okay, you Uncle Chen, you have been hiding from me for so long, come back to see how I clean you up?" ”
Chen Zhi heard that Liu Yong did not mean to blame, and immediately left.
"Give it to Lao Tzu or come back, without Lao Tzu's order, no one can give your life!" Liu Yong shouted loudly behind him. Hearing the voice, Chen Zhi's figure paused, and once again moved away from the mansion that was walking towards Baibi.
The area around the small Shiyang City was full of barbarians who kept shouting, and from time to time they aimed their bows and arrows at the head of the city to shoot. The defenders of the city on all sides were in full array, closely defending the attack of the barbarians, the archers kept shooting their swords, the infantry threw down boulders, and the terrible screams and earth-shattering shouts of killing continued to sound, and fierce battles were fought everywhere.
In the grass under a hillside outside the city, a head was slowly revealed, which was not obvious under the cover of the barren grass, and the barbarians guarding two feet away were paying attention to the siege battle not far away, and no one paid attention here.
The head retracted, and when it showed up again, it was like a dragon out of the water, extremely fast, and rushed straight towards one of the brutes. Before the brute could turn back, a steel knife with a slight curve had slashed through his neck, and a head fell to the ground at once, and his eyes were wide open.
The brute who heard the movement next to him looked back, and immediately another scimitar silently slashed through their necks.
Dealt with these five or six brute soldiers, one of them made a gesture to the back, and immediately many people quickly drilled out of the hole, in groups of two, one in front of the arc knife, one in the back of the crossbow to make a shooting posture, on the side. They have officially just broken the mechanism in the Baibi tunnel, and the white-haired army that quietly left the city.
There are a few sparse trees and half-man-high barren grass on the side of the city wall, and as long as no one comes to inspect it, no one will find out even if there are three or five hundred people hidden. Chen Zhi also secretly praised Bai Bi for being very good at choosing a position.
Seeing that all the people were there, Chen Zhi waved his hand and made a gesture, and everyone left in one direction.
Under a big tree two miles away from the city wall, several barbarians with beautiful bird feathers on their heads were discussing something, and dozens of barbarians were guarding and patrolling ten zhang away with bows and spears.
"Whoosh!" A short arrow flew and immediately shot through the throat of one of the brute, and the others were about to look, when immediately there was a sound of breaking the air again, and more short arrows flew in, and they all seemed to have eyes, and each found a target, and suddenly dozens of barbarians were killed in an instant. When the barbarians noticed the abnormality under the big tree, they saw that it was not their usual subordinates, but a team of black-clothed men and horses who appeared out of nowhere, all armed with bows and crossbows, aimed at them.
"Kill!" Chen received a brief order, and arrows as many as the barbarians flew in, taking their lives.
Confirm death, clean up the battlefield, retrieve the arrows, and quietly depart, disappearing like a ghost, as if it had never appeared, leaving only corpses all over the ground.
"Why haven't the people of the Giant Bear Clan, Thunderbird Clan, and Condor Clan arrived yet?" In a barbarian-style marching tent, Zong Shuai Zhang Jie asked his subordinates with an unkind face.
A brute soldier kneeling on the ground replied tremblingly: "My subordinates don't know, I'll go and investigate immediately!" ”
However, before he could withdraw from the big tent, a barbarian leader rushed in in a hurry, and Zhang Jie was furious: "Break into the big tent at will without reporting, do you want to find death?" ”
The man's face turned pale, and he immediately knelt on the ground, and said with his forehead on the ground: "Zong Shuai atoned for his sins, the situation is really urgent. ”
Zhang Jie suddenly had an ominous premonition, and slightly restrained his anger and asked: "What is the urgent military situation, if you can't say anything important, then take your people and wait to be sacrificed to the sky!" ”
"Yes...... It was the patriarchs and elders of the Giant Bear Clan, the Thunderbird Clan, the Condor Clan, and the Tianjiao Clan who were all killed! The more the leader spoke, the quieter it became, until at last it was as if it were coming from a crack in the ground, inaudible!
