Chapter 283: The sneak attack failed
Standing on the slope, looking into the distance.
Dense crowds of people rushed to Chongzhou City not far away in the face of the rain of arrows.
Like a choppy tide, wave after wave.
At this moment, the walls of Chongzhou City have been damaged in many places by boulders, and compared with the soldiers under the city, there are many fewer soldiers at the head of the city.
The soldiers defending the city were shooting arrows and throwing stones to stop the besiegers.
There was only the slightest hint of fear.
Such scenes made Liu Xi can't help but recall the situation when Hanur, the king of the Xiongnu Khan, led the eight tribes of the grassland to gather under Yangqu City with an army of 200,000.
At that time, the soldiers under Liu Xi's command were also like this.
Suddenly, Liu Xi remembered Luo Shan, who died in the city, the proud man, and he was a little depressed in his heart, so he sighed lightly.
Hearing Liu Xi's sigh, Ma Xiu, who was originally thinking about the state city surrounded by the army, couldn't help but feel nervous, and immediately turned his head and forgot to come over.
Without explanation, Liu Xi pointed to the black gold-edged banner of the rebels swaggering in the wind, "Who is he today?" ”
Under the banner of Xu, there was a person with a horizontal sword, his bronze armor flashing with a faint cold light, staring intently at the surrounded Chongzhou City in front of him.
But judging from the momentum, this person must have been on the battlefield several times, otherwise he would not have such refinement and murderous aura on his body.
Seeing Liu Xi mention this person, Ma Xiu's red and swollen peach blossom eyes were full of resentment, "He is Dong Ge, the deputy commander of the 'Angry Hammer'." ”
Hearing Ma Xiu's words, Liu Xi remembered that when Dugu Qiufeng pretended to be kind to report the news, he mentioned that it was this Dong Ge who rebelled and killed Zhengshuai, so that Tuoba Ao could cooperate with the outside and take the imperial city of Shu in one fell swoop.
It's no wonder that when Ma Xiu mentions him, he has a kind of desire to eat alive.
This time, it is understandable, Dong Gela's defection helped Tuoba Ao, and Dong Ge himself is also the general of the "Angry Hammer", with a good ability to lead troops, so it is reasonable to be the commander of this siege army at the moment.
"Those are the 'Hammers'?"
Liu Xi's eyes swept over a group of cronies beside Dong Gela, all of whom were tall and tall, and the armor on their bodies was not like ordinary people's wrapping around their bodies, only shoulder pads, chest pads and a hem, their strong arms were exposed, they were holding curved knives in their hands, and a huge hammer made of stainless steel was pinned to their waists.
It looks very explosive and destructive.
Ma Xiu's fists clenched on the side, "They are not worthy, 'Angry Hammer' is only loyal to the Emperor of Dashu, where are the people who commit rebellion qualified to be called 'Angry Hammer'!" ”
Although Ma Xiu said so, it is also a fact that these people are 'angry hammers'.
It is as famous as Li Tang's 'water cold', the Xiongnu's 'chasing the sun', and Liu Han's 'Yulin'.
In this way, Liu Xi, the elite of the four countries, can be regarded as having seen them all.
Judging from the momentum alone, only the 'Angry Hammer' is better.
The siege lasted until the sun was hidden, perhaps because he could not take it for a long time, Dong Ge ordered the defenders, and immediately the soldiers who attacked the city were like the ebbing tide of the sea, and all of them retreated to the camp in the blink of an eye.
Leaving behind the ground with broken arrows, corpses, and the defenders of the city who breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.
When the lives of such people were like grass and mustard, there was no one to care about the people who died in battle, and in the afterglow of the blood-red sun, several brave wild birds flew over howling and pecked at the corpses.
"Today, you have to quietly enter Chongzhou City, gather troops and horses, and when there is turmoil outside the city, you will immediately go out of the city to attack."
Liu Xi, who had been silent for a long time, said this, Ma Xiu's face showed joy, and he replied without thinking, "I don't have much trouble entering Chongzhou City, as long as I enter the city and see my father, I can gather soldiers to take advantage of the chaos to severely damage these rebels, so as to solve the danger of Chongzhou." ”
Assassinated Dong Gela, the rebels were in chaos, and then sent troops, how could Ma Xiu not have the confidence to break the enemy?
After saying this, Ma Xiu slapped his head suddenly, "No, Yusheng, you also said before, there are masters in this enemy camp, if you go, it will be very dangerous." ”
Ma Xiu hadn't forgotten the terrifying scene he encountered in the wild forest a few days ago, so after rejoicing, he couldn't help but worry about Liu Xi.
Liu Xi waved his hand, "You are the prince of Shu, so only you are the most suitable to enter the city, if the plan changes, Xiao Wu and I will immediately retreat, and when the time comes, you will take the signs outside the city as a signal, if there is no chaos in the rebel camp, you must not send troops." ”
Indeed, among several people, only he Ma Xiu can mobilize the soldiers in Chongzhou City.
opened his mouth, but Ma Xiu, who was full of gratitude in his heart, didn't know what to say, so he could only say softly, "I will act according to the plan, Yusheng, you be careful." ”
After saying this, Ma Xiu took a deep look at Xiao Wu, among this group, only Xiao Wuhui and Liu Xi would attack the enemy camp at night, and only these two would break into the Longtan tiger's den for him.
Later, Ma Xiu turned his horse's head and walked towards the southwest corner of Chongzhou City, where there was a dense forest, and he wanted to come there to know that there was a secret place to enter the city.
"It's dangerous for you to do that."
Looking at the camp not far away, Ming Miao's slender fingers brushed the long strand of hair fluttering in the wind on his cheek, and said softly.
Obviously, in his eyes, he did not agree with Liu Xi's approach.
Liu Xi, who was full of contemplation, raised his face when he heard this, and looked at the white clouds rolling in the blue sky, "Brother Zibai, people live in the world, there are always some things that you know are more than worth the losses, but you still have to do it without hesitation, even if it is broken bones." ”
After that, Liu Xi leaned on the back of 'Lanyue' with his head in his hands, and the 'Lanyue' horse seemed to know that he didn't want to see the rebel camp anymore, so he wagged his tail, ate the tender green weeds, and carried Liu Xi to the depths of the forest.
Xiao Wu followed with his legs between the horse's belly.
Ming Miao retracted his gaze at Liu Xi for a long time, and then carefully wiped the spotless body again.
As if he hadn't heard the conversation of the crowd, he still closed his eyes tightly, folded his hands, and recited the scriptures softly, not knowing whether he was praying for the previous soldiers to be overtaken or for the people who were about to die during the night attack.
While waiting, the night came as scheduled, as if the ink dissolved in the water, and soon the whole world became silent, only the insects and ants frightened by the murderous aura began to chirp uncontrollably during the day.
"Da Da Da ......"
The sound of horses' hooves crushed lightly in the dust, and in the night, Liu Xi stopped 'Lanyue' three miles outside the rebel camp, jumped down from the horse, and patted his black mane, "Go, go out to play and play, and wait for me in the dense forest southwest of Chongzhou City in two hours." ”
'Lanyue' shaved the horse's hooves, and then snorted with the black horse beside Xiao Wu, and led the black horse to the side naturally and leisurely.
"Xiao Wu, you are here to answer me. "
Hearing this, Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment, but still nodded obediently, he may already be a supreme existence elsewhere in the sect master's cultivation, but there is a hidden dragon and crouching tiger in the enemy camp ahead, it is better to let Liu Xi go alone, which can also make him less distracted.
After Xiao Wu nodded, Liu Xi tore off the corner of his clothes and covered his face, and then strode forward, taking advantage of the night, quietly approaching the camp.
Because he was afraid that he would disturb the opponent's master by using cultivation, Liu Xi relied on his feet to walk from beginning to end, and after years of practicing the 'Dragon and Snake Nine Changes', his skills have also become extremely flexible.
At the gate of the camp, perhaps because of the attack and battle in the past few days, the guards looked a little sleepy, although they stood there with spears in hand, they were sleepy-eyed and secretly napping.
In this way, Liu Xi entered the camp very easily.
The charcoal fire in the copper basin set up at the entrance of the camp swayed and jumped, and one of the soldiers cried out, and when he fixed his eyes, he found that there were no idlers, so he smiled and continued to doze off amid the disgruntled whispers of his companions.
Liu Xi doesn't care about these things behind him, although this camp is stationed with soldiers from different state cities, but once he comes, he is also well-arranged, obviously this Dong Ge is a general who governs the army.
This made Liu Xi's heart a little more pressured.
Chongzhou City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the soldiers are all tired, so except for the guards who patrol back and forth in the camp, the rest of the camp tents are snoring.
In the middle of the camp, Liu Xi finally saw the middle tent guarded by two 'angry mallets', and the lights in the tent had not been extinguished at this time, and a figure was faintly visible from outside the tent sitting in front of the desk.
Coach Tongra seems to be thinking about arranging for tomorrow's siege.
That's him!
The light flashed in his eyes, Liu Xi took out the dagger that had not been used for a long time from his calf, bowed like a leopard, walked in the wind, like a wild horse, rushed forward, turned into a cleaver with his left hand, and hit the neck of one guard hard, and the dagger in his right hand was plunged straight into the throat of another guard.
In a few breaths, the two 'Furious Mallet' guards were eliminated.
At this time, Dong Ge in the tent stood up, although Liu Xi did not use cultivation, but in such a quiet night, any slightest movement would have the risk of being noticed.
What's more, Dong Ge is a battle-hardened person, and his vigilance has long been higher than ordinary people.
You have to do it quickly!
Without thinking too much, Liu Xi rushed into the camp tent with an arrow step, and Dong Ge, who was about to come out to check the situation, hurriedly took more than ten steps back, and pulled out the long sword on the table.
On the table, the candle flame danced wildly due to Liu Xi's sudden intrusion, reflecting the cold light of the long sword.
Dong Ge, who was wide-eyed, said a sentence sharply, it was the words of Shu, although Liu Xi had not heard it, he could probably guess who he was.
Since the rebel commander was in front of him, Liu Xi did not hide it, and when all the cultivators broke out, the dagger with the sound of the dragon's groan, turned into a silver practice and headed towards Dong Gela.
It's bound to hit with one blow and get away quickly.
On the other side, Dong Gela's face was shocked, he was a person who practiced martial arts, but it was only a fighting skill, and now seeing Liu Xi's terrifying momentum exuding an endless river like a river, he immediately took a few steps back.
Later, he made a move that surprised Liu Xi.
I saw Dong Ge take out a square bronze mirror from his sleeve, and read a few words that were difficult to understand, and later, under a burst of light, Dong Ge disappeared.
It's just gone out of thin air!
Shocked, Liu Xi's move was difficult to retract, and the powerful murderous aura broke through the handsome tent, and in the dust, it pierced several barracks in a row.
Suddenly screams rang out.
The chaotic footsteps began to spread, and the most important thing was that several powerful breaths were also approaching quickly, judging from the breath, the cultivation was hard to be from the Yuan Shen to the Cave Heaven.
Without allowing much thought, Liu Xi immediately rushed towards the outside of the camp, and when he escaped, he couldn't help but glance back, only to see that Dong Ge was already a few miles away, and at the back of the camp, two cave masters had already arrived to protect him.
Liu Xi didn't understand the reason for this, but he didn't have time to think about it, his body turned into Changhong, and he headed towards Chongzhou City.
Naturally, when escaping, it was inevitable to kick over some braziers, and the rebel camp was immediately ablaze.
"The child is too arrogant!"
Behind him, about seven or eight people chased after him.
If a single person chases him, Liu Xi is not afraid at all, but his two fists are difficult to defeat his four hands, so how can he fight now, he can only flee with his feet in the wind.
Not far away, Xiao Wu's green steel sword was already out of its sheath, and was about to catch up with it, but Liu Xi hurriedly waved his hand to stop him, "Don't fight, leave with me!" ”
The strangeness of the enemy camp has also been found in Chongzhou City, and there are many people on the city.
Liu Xi originally thought that he would not enter Chongzhou City, so as not to introduce the masters behind him into the city and cause unnecessary trouble, but Liu Xi changed his attention in a moment.
The master who pursued him was a figure who could not destroy the world, but these days, he allowed the soldiers to be killed and wounded, but he did not help Dong Ge to attack the city.
Obviously, Chongzhou City has something that they are afraid of.
When Liu Xi was thinking about it, an old man in a white robe appeared in front of him in Chongzhou City, with a white beard and an indifferent expression, and stood quietly at the head of the city.
Quiet as a virgin.
Somewhat out of place with the soldiers who were busy with the garrison.
"You've forgotten the rules!"
A light snort, but it sounded in Liu Xi's ears like thunder, which was the reason why he understood the jealousy of the rebel masters.
Because this old man's cultivation has already entered the realm of breaking the void!
