Chapter 24: The Burning of Wuhuan
"Three days, three whole days!"
Liu Yuan listened to the 'wolf smoke rising' in his ears and looked up at the dim and chaotic moonlight in the sky, and said in his heart, the moon was dark and the wind was high.
The siege that lasted for three days caused most of Liu Yuan's 4,000 soldiers to be killed and wounded, and now there are less than 2,000. And the Wuhuan army abandoned the advantage of cavalry, with a short attack and a long attack, about 10,000 people have lost more than 10,000 people in three days, accounting for a quarter of the entire army, and the king of the cliff is so anxious that he is like thunder!
Zhang Ju also suffered from the disaster of the pond fish, and was imprisoned by the king of the cliff without explanation, and only his bad idea would cause such a big loss.
Liu Yuan looked at the increasingly strong and fierce expressions of the soldiers under his command, and a sadness surged in his heart, this was all exchanged for his surname. They have grown, but they have lost so much.
At this time, Guo Jia came.
"Lord, everything is ready, you can begin."
"Good!"
"Dian Wei!"
"In!"
"I order you to lead five hundred men and hide them in the city, and when the Wuhuan army enters the city, they will set fire to me, and immediately after the deed is completed, go out of the north gate and join me."
"Whoa!"
Liu Yuan took all the remaining soldiers on patrol for the last time, and when he saw that the streets and houses were covered with hay and oil, he finally nodded with satisfaction, and divided his hands, and the 1,500 soldiers under his command suddenly divided into two groups, and at the same time drew their weapons and attacked each other.
Suddenly, the sound of shouting and killing, screaming, and the sound of blades colliding came from afar.
"Huh?!" When the King heard the voice, his first thought was, 'Bomb the camp!' ’。 But after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly sent someone to investigate, and called all the leaders under his command over.
After a while, the generals under his command gathered in the main tent, and they all listened to the shouting and killing sounds in Panxi City not far away, all of which were inexplicable.
"My lord, what's going on? Could it be that the adults sent someone to attack Liu Yuan? ”
One of them asked.
King Qiao shook his head, denied this person's words, and said, "When I saw that the soldiers were tired, I extinguished the heart of the night attack and did not send anyone. But I also thought it was strange, so I called you and the others to discuss. ”
"Is it a bombing of the camp?" Another general guessed: "Our army is attacking fiercely these days, and I am afraid that it has frightened the defenders in the city. ”
"Not bad!"
"Liu Yuan has few soldiers, and they are all county soldiers with no combat effectiveness. Our army has lost tens of thousands, and I am afraid that they will suffer all the casualties. It doesn't make sense if there is no infighting. ”
"On the other hand, Liu Yuan was in charge of Yuyang at the beginning, and there must be people in the army who were not convinced, but now the losses are too heavy, and there must be two hearts, and Liu Yuan is going to defend again, so naturally there will be infighting."
"That's the case," the King finally smiled.
"Siege!"
"Siege!"
"Lord, here!"
"Good! Get out of the north gate for me! ”
The soldiers put away their blades, and Liu Yuan took the lead, looking at the north gate and rushing towards it
"Bang!"
"The door is open! The gates are open! ”
"Rush! Capture Liu Yuan alive! ”
In order to annihilate Liu Yuan with one blow, King Qiao personally led an army of 30,000 and rushed into Panxi along the city gate that was opened by his subordinates.
From afar, seeing the Yuyang army rushing out of the north gate, I couldn't help but feel anxious, hurriedly beating the horse and urging, and the mouth kept shouting!
At this moment, he suddenly heard a cannon sound, and the king of the cliff couldn't help but be stunned, and a bad feeling surged in his heart.
As soon as the cannon sounded, the 5,000 cavalry troops of Xu Huang's army, who were not far from the Wuhuan camp, launched a charge, and wiped out the thousands of panicked people who were left in the Wuhuan camp at a very fast speed, and burned the Wuhuan camp with a fire. Then he hurried to the north gate desperately.
At the same time, Dian Wei roared: "Set fire!" ”
Then I saw countless rockets flying in the air, and then all the houses were on fire.
The face of the King of Cliffs has changed drastically! The 30,000 troops under his command are in chaos!
The oiled hay burned very quickly, but in just a few breaths, it spread throughout the county. A raging fire rose into the sky, besieging the 30,000 army of the Cliff King!
"Withdraw! Evacuate me! ”
The king turned his horse's head and tried to withdraw from the south gate, but he saw that the camp outside the city was already burning, and the flames were soaring to the sky.
"Ahh Burn me! Help me! ”
"Ahh
"Help!"
The army of the Cliff King trampled on each other, and in order to fight for a way to survive, they even opened up each other's killing rings, and a thick bloody aura suddenly spread from the flames.
"My lord, rush out! Rush out of the North Gate! ”
"The south gate is too far away, the camp has been robbed, it's dangerous!"
Listening to the frequent persuasion of his own soldiers, King Qiao could no longer allow to think, gritted his teeth, and said, "Rush out with me!" ”
"Liu Yuan! Liu Yuan! Listening to the screams and calls for help of the soldiers under his command, King Qiao gritted his teeth, hating to immediately catch Liu Yuan and cut him with a thousand knives! With a single sword, he cut off the corner of his already burning cloak, and the whip flicked even more sharply.
Whether the soldier is dead or alive is now irrelevant, it is important to escape the surname. As long as you stay alive, you can go back and lick the king's toes, and you can have a chance to rise, if you die like this, then everything will really be in vain.
But King Qiao knew in his heart that it was impossible for Liu Yuan to let him escape easily. The camp outside the south gate was attacked and fell into a sea of fire, which must have been arranged by Liu Yuan. He knew that it would be safest to go to the south gate, but the fire was too urgent, so he could only go to the north gate.
This is the road that Liu Yuan arranged for him. But he had to go on.
Liu Yuan looked at Panxi City outside the city, and sighed for no reason.
"What is the lord sighing about?"
Guo Jia asked.
"You listen to the screams that resounded through the clouds, hey, it's still so arrogant during the day, tens of thousands of people who were still alive and kicking around before were burned to ashes, and the fate of the creation is amazing." Liu Yuan sighed.
"What's the matter with the creation of fate?" Guo Jia smiled: "Fate is in the hands of the lord!" ”
"Hahaha" Liu Yuan laughed: "What Feng Xiao said is reasonable!" ”
"Fengxiao, how many people do you say King Qiao can bring out?" Liu Yuan said.
"At most, there are only a few thousand people, hehe, I'm afraid General Xu Huang will be able to annihilate them! There is no need for Yan Liang and Huang Chang. Guo Jia said: "But I think, after all, the king of the cliff is a hero, this ability to escape, I'm afraid"
"So be careful! This time I will capture this old boy alive. ”
King Qiao escaped from Panxi desolately, most of his hair and beard were burned, his face was black, his gorgeous and rough robe had now become a beggar's outfit, and even the BMW that sat down was burned into a bald donkey.
Looking at the five thousand subordinates behind him who were embarrassed and miserable, the king of the cliff looked up to the sky and roared sadly.
"Let's go! All the way north, let's go back to the grassland! ”
The subordinates were all in good spirits, followed the king of the cliff, and galloped away with horses.
Thirty miles all the way, there was no movement, which made the king strange, but also a sense of security surged in his heart, and when he was about to laugh out loud, he suddenly saw a figure riding a mount on the road in the distance, standing there quietly, like a ghost rider from hell!
King Qiao's heart was 'groaning', and his face suddenly fell.
"Lord Cliff, don't come unharmed, hahaha"
Liu Yuan's familiar and terrifying voice came, and at the same time, countless neat footsteps came from the pitch-black fingers, stepping on the heart of the Cliff King one after another. Closer, closer, countless soldiers are like a wall, already surrounding them!
"Hahaha"
The mournful laughter of the King of Crags was heard far away.
"Liu Yuan, Lao Tzu is convinced!" The tears of the cliff king's laughter flowed out: "I have an absolute advantage, I was first killed by you countless generals, and then you blocked it with a low wall for three days, with countless casualties, and finally you were a fire, which burned my efforts over the years, I don't accept it!" If you don't accept it, you can't do it! ”
"Surrender, King of the Cliffs. If you surrender, I will spare your life! Liu Yuan said calmly.
"Hahaha, Liu Yuan, are you joking? Are you despising the Wuhuan warriors?! King Qiao pulled out the treasure knife on his waist with a 'chok' sound, and shouted: "If you have the ability, come and take my head, don't talk about those useless things!" ”
"Your Excellency is right, fight with them!"
All the Wuhuan people drew their scimitars, their eyes shining with determination.
Liu Yuan frowned and said, "Fengxiao, these people's hearts are determined to live and die, but they are mourning soldiers, not good!" ”
"It's okay, don't worry, Jia has a plan."
A few words from King Qiao aroused the will of the corporal to die, but his heart was raised high, and the hand holding the scimitar trembled, for fear that Liu Yuan would attack, and there would really be no hope of escaping at that time.
At this moment, he saw Liu Yuan let go of the crack, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
Even an old fox like the King of Cliffs is like this, how can the soldiers under his command still have his mental tenacity? People who don't want to live? All the Wuhuan people breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, and the resolute look in their eyes immediately disappeared.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Liu Yuan drank clearly, and remembered countless 'boom' sounds, and then the 'buzzing' sound was like locusts flying, overwhelmingly looking at the Wuhuan people's heads.
The King of Cliffs was really desperate at this time.
I didn't expect that the will to die was disintegrated by Liu Yuan's small action, and I didn't expect Liu Yuan to be so good at grabbing fighters!
"Ahh
"Ahh
Countless Wuhuan people were shot and fell!
"Surrender!" Liu Yuan snorted: "King Qiao, give you three breaths of time, if you don't surrender again, there will be no forgiveness for killing!" ”
"He's xx, Lao Tzu is fighting with you!" The king roared wildly, raised the scimitar in his hand, pulled the reins, and rushed over with the few thousand people left behind him.
"Dian Wei, take him!" Liu Yuan glanced at the king with teeth and claws disdainfully, and said, "Fengxiao, let's start." ”
I only heard the sound of a cannon, and there was a sound of horses' hooves behind the Wuhuan people that shook the earth, Xu Huang, kill!
Yan Liang rode on the yellow husper, pointed the spear in his hand, and drank: "The spearman stepped forward, the first row, stab!" The spearmen on both wings of the Wuhuan cavalry held spears in one piece, like a glittering wall, and looked at the Wuhuan people to pounce.
"Ahhh
"Second row, thorns!"
Huang Chang led the crossbowmen to stand by.
Liu Yuan quietly looked at the one-sided slaughter, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, and Guo Jia said: "These are all excellent slaves, it's a pity to die like this!" ”
"Haha, don't worry, lord." Guo Jia laughed and said: "The Wuhuan people robbed Yuyang, why can't we rob them?" ”
"You mean" Liu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he laughed along.
Xu Huang led the cavalry, like a sharp sword, and cut thousands of Wuhuan cavalry in half with a whoosh. With a round of axes in his hand, several people and horses were cut off by their waists, and their deaths were extremely miserable. The Wuhuan people who met him were like plague gods, and they just wanted to get out of the range of his big axe.
"Brothers, kill me! Victory is at hand! Kill! Xu Huang howled.
The five thousand Yuyang cavalry also knew that this was the last battle, and they all took out their strength to eat milk, chasing the panicked Wuhuan people, with a strange laugh in their mouths, as if the Wuhuan people were innocent and Yuyang was the invader.
At this moment, Dian Wei hung his head and returned to Liu Yuan's side covered in blood, saying, "Young Master, my old man didn't hold the King of Cliffs. He touched the back of his head in annoyance: "This guy is like a loach, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye." ”
Liu Yuan and Guo Jia glanced at each other, and shouted at the same time: "King Qiao has been awarded the head, and the rest will not be killed!" ”
