CHAPTER XXII. The Recapture of the City of Heruhr

The surroundings of the city of Heluer are beautiful places. The verdant mountains surround the city of Horur like a group of beauties around it. From the southwest corner of the city, there is an open area of view that is not obstructed by the mountains, and from there you can see the rushing waters of the Narara River rushing north in July. Listening to the sound of the river tumbling in your ears, this spectacular sight is exciting.

Unfortunately, the city of Horol is now shrouded in the clouds of war, and no one is in the mood to enjoy the scenery. In particular, Azmi, the general of Yaki who stayed here, had received a report two days ago that there were signs of bandit activity in the vicinity, and his first thought was that the other party was intent on attacking his own grain transport troops and threatening the supply lines of Lord Evjie. For this reason, he increased the number of troops escorting food, but he still couldn't help but worry in his heart, after all, the number of this thief army is unknown, who knows if these escort forces are enough?

His fears were unfortunately hit, and the grain convoy sent out yesterday was indeed besieged by the enemy! According to the accounts of the soldiers who managed to escape and report the news, the number of opponents should be between 500 and 1,000. Azmi felt that this was more reliable, because the troops he had sent to escort the food were also 300 men, and the enemy would not know who would lose and who would win without this number.

If the other side really has a large number of men, it is natural that they should do their best to quickly resolve the battle and then withdraw. If there are less than 1,000 people, it means that this is the unit that the thief army has planted here to be responsible for raiding logistics and transportation. Since the scale of the other party is not large, the grain transport team will not be completely wiped out for a while, and he must send rescue troops as soon as possible. To this end, Azmi sent 2,000 men to relieve the siege - since it was to be lifted. It is necessary to resolve the battle as quickly as possible to prevent future troubles. But Azmi wasn't stupid. While sending reinforcements, he strengthened the defense of the city of Horur. In case the enemy moved away from the mountains and prepared for a sneak attack on the city of Helu.

After making this arrangement, Azmi still lay down in armor and clothes on the head of the city that night, ready to deal with emergencies. In fact, just as Azmi expected, the thieves did use a strategy to divert the tiger from the mountain, and in the middle of the night, the soldiers on duty found that about a thousand thieves were sneaking towards the city.

Azmi, who was woken up from his sleep, showed a smug smile on the corner of his mouth: the thief army is really cunning enough, the attack on the grain convoy is just a pretense, and the real purpose is actually the city of Horur, and the appetite is really not small. But you didn't expect that this time I would be calculated. The soldiers were ordered not to make noise. Wait for the enemy army to climb the city halfway before starting, first catch them off guard, and then send troops out of the city to attack, and attack up and down so that they have no return.

Seeing the enemy forces under the city getting closer and closer, Azmi tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, and a sense of imminent victory enveloped his body. At this moment, a noise was heard behind him, and Azmi turned around and rebuked softly, "Quiet! Don't scare away the thieves! ”

At this time, the noise became louder and louder, and someone shouted, "My lord! The thieves have entered the city! Fast! Come on?????? Oh! ”

Azmi's head is buzzing! The army of thieves has entered the city? How is this possible! They haven't touched the city yet. Just when his mind was in a state of confusion. I saw that the official residence in the city was already on fire, and the fire gradually grew larger, and then there were fires in several other places. Azmi suddenly realized that there was an army of thieves lurking in the city. Now they're setting fire to the chaos and preparing to create chaos!

Just as Azmi was mobilizing his forces to exterminate the thieves within, the Dilcis army outside the city began to attack.

Azmi's guess was half right, and there were indeed Dilus troops lurking in the city. But it's just one person. This person was a secret agent arranged by Wei Song, and he had only one job in his life. That's guarding a door and opening it at the last minute!

Back in the first time, Everje wanted to dig tunnels to enter the city of Horur. Li Tianhao discovered that the foundation of the city was made of earth, which was easier to excavate than other parts of the mountain. So he sent men to dig tunnels, ready to go out of the city at any moment to attack Everger's troops. When Li Tianhao learned of the news of Ulysses' invasion of the Dils Mountains, Wei Song ordered people to rebuild it and dig a secret passage to the outside of the city of Helu. All those who knew about it were taken out of the city, and only the hidden spy knew where the exit to the secret passage was, and how to open the hidden door.

Tonight, the spy received an order to open the secret door, and it was the undefeated mercenary Xenas and his hundred mercenaries who entered the city. They set fire to the chaos and slaughtered the weakest defenders of the Yaki Army.

With his mercenaries in his hands, the greatsword in his hand swung by Xenas kept chopping the stubborn Yaqui soldiers in front of him into pieces. He deliberately used such a cruel move in order to create fear among the Yaki Army. Now Yajijun doesn't know that he only has a hundred people, and the psychology of chaos and fear is his greatest assistant, and he must use it to the extreme. However, Xenas knew very well that the closer he got to the gates, the heavier the garrison. So Xenas's goal was not there, but only to create the illusion of rushing straight to the gates. Sure enough, Azmi did not know the number of enemies, so he sent heavy troops to defend the city gate just in case. And all this was clearly seen by Xenas, who had strong night vision, and his goal was the commander of the enemy army from the beginning, and at this moment Azmi's subordinates were either at the head of the city to resist the siege troops of the Dils army, or at the gate to prevent Xenas from opening the city gate, and the forces around him became extremely empty, and Senas was waiting for this moment. The opportunity was fleeting, and Xenas did not dare to slack off and lead his men all the way through.

There was no doubt about Xenas's prowess, and the poor Yaqui defenders had the misfortune to see Xenas fighting with all their might tonight - there was no way back for Xenas in this battle, so he worked very hard.

Realizing that the other party's target was not the city gate but his own Azmi, he couldn't help but retreat again and again to move closer to the soldiers at the head of the city, the other party's martial arts he really saw it, even if there were three of them, they were not this person's opponents! At this moment, his value lies in commanding the whole army to thwart the enemy's conspiracy, and if he dies at this moment, the situation will not be able to be cleaned up.

Xenas didn't give him this chance, and with a heavy slash, he swung the four soldiers in front of him into eight pieces, and the scattered arms and overflowing organs made the other Yaki soldiers shudder, and Xenas roared angrily as he sprinted forward: "If you don't want to die, dodge!" I want the head of the main general! ”

The fierce and vicious momentum of Xenas completely overwhelmed the fighting spirit of these soldiers, and the Yaki soldiers who stood in front of him retreated one after another, and even jumped down the stairway of the upper city before they had time to retreat. Xenas was merciless, and cut the soldiers who retreated a little slower into minced meat one by one, and the remaining survivors could no longer care about it, even if the city was high, there was still a chance of survival if they jumped, and they could only become pieces of meat if they stayed here!

Azmi gritted his teeth and swung the knife in his hand towards Xenas, and now the only thing he could protect himself was his own martial arts and courage. Xenas didn't dodge, and with a single swing of his giant sword, Azmi's knife was completely blown away!

No! The knife also has two arms of its own! That was the last thought that crossed Azmi's mind, and then his body and head were separated. Xenas picked up his head and shouted, "Your Lord is dead!" Hurry up and lay down your arms and surrender! There are also those who dare to resist! ”

The sound was like a numbing pill, causing all the Yagi Army who heard it to stop their movements. Although not all of the sub-unit soldiers surrendered, a significant number of them lost their will to fight. Taking advantage of this opening, the Dilc army under the city climbed to the top of the city and captured the city gate with Xenas. With the entry of a large number of Diers, the fighting spirit of the Yaki army completely collapsed, and finally all abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

After daybreak, when the Yaqui army found out that there were only more than 1,000 people in the Dils army who had conquered the city, they couldn't help but regret it, but it was too late. After disarming the men, Xenas opened the south gate and drove them all out. More than 2,000 Yaki troops had to go to Kuba City, on the way they met 2,000 Yaki troops who had gone to relieve the siege, and their mission also failed, when they arrived, the 300 food guards were half dead and wounded, and the other side had burned most of the food and withdrew. Although there were now 4,000 people in total, half of them had no weapons or armor, and there was no food, so it was impossible to capture the city again. (To be continued......)
