Chapter 184 The Battle of Banquan (Part 5)
The red smoke lit up the dark night sky.
Yang Zhai City shouted to kill the heavens, and 300 thin Silver Lake assassins, under the leadership of Tongyu, permeated all corners of the city like fine sand. Countless generals of the Huang clan who were still asleep didn't understand what was going on, and they were beheaded in a different place, simply neat.
By the time the Huang garrison realized that they had been invaded, the Yan assassins had already infiltrated all the key points in the city, and the Huang stone spearmen who rushed out with their weapons in their sleepy eyes were quickly thrown into disarray because they did not have enough command personnel.
In the chaos, the gate of Yangzhai City suddenly opened, and several Yan assassins waved their torches vigorously to signal outward, and after a while, the neatly arranged Shannan infantry rushed in.
These Shannan infantry are the troops after Lin Yuan unified the female warriors of the Pangeng tribe, the spearmen of the Luohe tribe and the hunter patrols of many small tribes after the unification of the various tribes in the mountains.
Right now, this force is Lin Yuan's most elite armed force, and Lin Yuan has high hopes for them, and in fact, this force has indeed not disappointed Lin Yuan.
I saw that under the leadership of Jiu Yao, the elite infantry in Shannan lined up in a neat column and quickly attacked from the city gate, encountering almost no resistance along the way.
The place where the battle was fiercest was in the northeast corner of Yangzhai City, where there was a slope on which a huge wooden hall was built, which was previously used by Lin Yuan for meetings and administration, and now used by the people of the Huang clan as the official residence of the city lord.
Lin Yuan had already joined Jiu Yao at this time, and he led the elite troops of Shannan behind him to quickly move forward, their goal was to take down the city lord, as long as they could kill the city lord, the remaining Huang soldiers would soon surrender.
Along the way, those stubborn Huang soldiers quickly routed and fled under the sharp bronze weapons of the Shannan infantry, they had never seen such a sharp and powerful weapon, and they did not expect to kill such an enemy in the middle of the night, so soon, Lin Yuan advanced to the direction of the Northeast Hall.
I saw that at this time, there was a crowd of people around the main hall, and it seemed that the city lord had gathered all the soldiers of the Huang clan and were ready to fight to the death.
Lin Yuan squinted slightly, he could clearly see the city lord standing on the high platform, wearing an off-white linen shirt, holding a huge stone spear in his hand, with a resolute face that looked at death as if he were at home.
This face made Lin Yuan's heart sink, yes, he had seen this person!
This person's name is Xingtian! It was the general he met when he was chasing wild horses in the Sabah tribe and accidentally broke into the Huang camp.
Lin Yuan was very impressed with him, because he was the only one who had seen through his disguise, and that person had the command and foresight of obviously more than half of the primitives.
This person's ability must be very outstanding, otherwise he would not have been sent by Changyi Xiaoer to guard Yangzhai City.
Lin Yuan nodded slightly, and ordered the Shannan infantry to start attacking, and the infantry quickly unfolded, forming a semi-circular formation, surrounding the main hall, and then the encirclement gradually began to shrink.
Lin Yuan frowned, observing the Xingtian on the top of the mountain, between which this person was not afraid of danger, and the people under the calm commander kept shouting something over and over again, as if to stabilize the confidence of the personnel.
This man knows how to fight......
Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart, how good it would be if such a talent could be used by me......
The battle to the death not far away has begun.
With a roar of Xingtian people and horses, dozens of flying spears shot down from the main hall on the top of the mountain, and the Shannan infantry on the Yan tribe's side also began to launch at the same time, accompanied by the sound of flying spears falling to the ground, some of the Yan infantry fell, but Lin Yuan was not very worried, because he saw that many fallen people were still struggling, most of the Shannan infantry were wearing bronze soft armor, and the lethality of the stone spear was limited, at least his own people would not be fatal by one blow.
That's enough, for primitive people who often swear to fight to the death, not dying immediately is the greatest encouragement.
I saw the tide-like Shannan soldiers, shouting the slogan of the charge, rushing up the hillside in one go, and connecting with the defenders of the Huang Clan.
If the bronze is mainly outstanding in the long distance is the solid defensive performance, then the close hand-to-hand combat is the time for the bronze to exert its terrible combat effectiveness, the sharp bronze is far stronger than the stone tool, and more light, which makes the soldiers of the Yan tribe can attack more easily, and the setting can be one enemy two, enemy three.
Lin Yuan nodded silently, seeing the Huang Clan's troops fall one by one, victory seemed to be in sight.
However, Xingtian did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and Lin Yuan found that he was wielding a stone spear and went into battle in person, as if he was ready to defend to the death.
This man is indeed loyal!
Lin Yuan's heart moved, and he hurriedly ordered: Don't kill the leader! To live!
His order was quickly passed on......
Hopefully...... Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart.
After a while, the shouting and killing in the distance gradually stopped, and Lin Yuan, surrounded by many guards, walked towards the main hall on the hillside.
Along the way, blood was everywhere, and there were already soldiers with quick hands and eyes, moving the corpses of the Huang clan away from the road, making way for Lin Yuan.
On the top of the mountain, a group of Yan Shannan soldiers were guarding a person, and more than a dozen spears were tightly pressed against Xingtian's chest.
At this time, Xingtian still had a fierce and vicious expression, without the slightest fear, and when he saw Lin Yuan coming, he was taken aback at first, and then carefully looked at Lin Yuan's outfit and the attitudes of the people around him, and seemed to understand Lin Yuan's identity.
"Haha...... It's really a narrow road...... I didn't expect you to be the leader of the Yan clan? It's really you! I knew that Lao Tzu should have killed you with a spear back then, and used it to get rid of future troubles! ”
Lin Yuan smiled slightly, but he was not angry, and said calmly:
"Xingtian, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's just this goodbye, but your and my identities have been changed in an instant, and now you are a prisoner, I am the master, it's really interesting......
"Less nonsense! Kill as you want! Don't talk about that! ”
Lin Yuan paused, and then said:
"Okay, I think you are also a refreshing person, then I'll tell you the truth, I think you are a general, so it's really a pity to kill you, right now my Yan clan is pacifying the mountains and tribes, and there are bronze weapons to help, the future of the world, it must be our Yan clan! But I lack generals who are familiar with the north, if you will......"
"Don't talk nonsense! Lao Tzu will never betray the Huang family! “
Xingtian speaks categorically!
Lin Yuan frowned, and just wanted to say something, when he suddenly saw a crowd of people not far away, Tongyu rushed quickly with a bunch of people, he noticed that Tongyu was followed by a little boy, and in an instant, he had an idea.
Lin Yuan smiled slightly, clasped his hands to his chest, and said:
"Good! Yes, I'm not wrong, I appreciate your loyalty...... However, I would like to remind you that the Huang clan you are loyal to is no longer the Huang clan of the past...... I heard that when Changyi captured Xuanyuan in the northwest, you were not involved in that battle...... Right, I know that in your heart, you still have scruples about the old master......"
Lin Yuan said that, waved his hand, Tongyu walked to Lin Yuan's side with the little boy, Lin Yuan touched the little boy's head with a slight smile, turned his head and said to Xingtian:
"But...... In this world, the leader of the Huang clan is not only Changyi, I know you want to say Xuanyuan, no, in addition to Xuanyuan, there is also him! Hustle! ”
Lin Yuan patted the little boy on the shoulder and brought him to the front.
Xing Tian frowned, looked at Xuan's face, and after a while, finally muttered:
"Shao Hao's little master...... You! You're actually ...... Still alive?? At the end, Xingtian was actually a little choked.
Lin Yuan said calmly:
"Xingtian, I believe you must have been deceived by Changyi's lies, after Changyi killed his father and usurped power, there was chaos in the clan, I know that some of your old patriarchs are not very satisfied with Changyi's style, so he secretly sent Shaohao out of the Huang clan and wanted to take refuge in Guanzhong, and Changyi has always been worried that his brother will oppose him one day, so he searched everywhere for Shaohao's whereabouts, so Shaohao had to change his name to Xuanhuan, wandered all the way, and finally met me in Guanzhong."
Lin Yuan paused, he saw Xingtian's hands trembling slightly, and then continued:
"Xingtian, I know you have your own judgment, think about it, how many bad things Changyi has done over the years? In order to achieve his own goals, he burned and looted everywhere, expelled relatives, and killed innocents, you should know very well in your heart, even if you Huang unify the Central Plains, when you have no use value, Changyi will definitely find a way to get rid of you...... Such a person is not suitable for governing the world, what you need is to assist another Ming Jun...... Shao Hao! ”
Before Lin Yuan's words were finished, he heard a bang, and the heavy stone spear in Xingtian's hand fell to the ground, and then he knelt down slightly, facing Shao Hao, and shouted:
"Shao Hao and Young Master! I am willing to die of old age, and I swear to follow you! ”
