Chapter 23: Reinforcements Arrive (1)

Ashina Yan and Yelu Lone Wolf, two Hu talents, watched Hu pawns shouting and rushing into the city to fight, and rushed out with a smile. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Brother Ashina, it seems that the second set of step-by-step plans can be activated."

Ashina Yan was silent, secretly counting the Hu pawns who entered the city to participate in the battle, and it had been an hour since the Yan army had been fighting, and the tiger army had entered the city for more than 20,000.

He looked at the bright morning star in the sky and said, "It's dawn, we should go too." ā€

The fire, which had been burning for most of the night, gradually became smaller, and the oil and hay that had been used to start the fire were thrown outside the city by the soldiers who captured the tiger. The houses next to the east gate were emitting green smoke, and the breeze was blowing and drifting towards the sky.

In ancient times, wooden houses were most afraid of fire, and a fire that spread unrestrainedly could really burn down the entire city.

On the one hand, Zhao Zheng sent people to lure Hu pawns to fight street battles in the southern city, and on the other hand, he drew people from the forbidden city to demolish houses. It is impossible to extinguish the fire like this, but it is not difficult to stop the fire.

After completing the firebreak, the panicked people did not rest, and ran back to the forbidden city with black ashes, patting their chests and glad that the Hu pawn was not killed. They didn't know that this was not the "benevolence" or negligence of the Hu people, but the time that Zhao Zheng and Ji Chong had bought with their lives and blood.

At first, Huo Da Zhao was barely retreating in order to hold Hu Ren, and he circled backwards while fighting with Hu Ren. Relying on this familiarity with the streets of Wuyang, thousands of defenders divided the 20,000 Hu people, but before they could wait for the herald to cover the Hu people, they shouted to implement the second plan.

Liang Ji led a team of crossbowmen to hurriedly shoot the heralds, but Shudu was not so good as his peers, and sent a team of 100 scouts to give orders.

The scimitars of the steppe were sharp, and the warriors were brave, but unfortunately the tall bodies in the narrow alleys became their fatal shortcomings.

Forbidden City Avenue and Junya Street are more than 50 meters wide, and it goes without saying that the Tiger Capture Army exerts its combat power in this kind of street, but those alleys that are less than two meters wide can block all the ways out of the Tiger Capture Sergeant with only one Mo Dao hand.

In a few rounds, the five-foot-long Mo knife could pierce the chest of the Tiger Capture Sergeant, and those low eaves restrained their nimble but tall bodies, because the scimitar was not good at stabbing, and could only slash left and right, and hit the wall with a wave of his hand.

Listening to the battle damage reported by his subordinates, he actually injured 2,000 soldiers in just one hour. It's all to blame for the narrow streets of the Xia people, and they are aggrieved to death.

"Urigi, take the warriors down the alley, it's not the battlefield of the steppe children. We should follow Ashinayan's strategy step by step, block the major streets, and block the Yan army. ā€

"General, the warriors are too scattered, and the last general can only contact a few hundreds."

Urigi's words washed away the smile on Uriji's face, and he grabbed Urigi's collar and said loudly: "Didn't you order to stop the pursuit just now, why are you still so scattered?" ā€

"The Yan army is too cunning, as soon as we retreat, they will catch up, and the warriors are angry that they are chasing and turn around and counterattack, but the Yan army runs away and scatters, so ......"

"Bastard! Blowing the antlers to summon them all back, this is the trick of the Yan army, divide and annihilate them. Their ancestors created such a strange thing as the art of war, and we can't afford not to guard against it. ā€

Mi Lie also had to use his brain to think about strategy, street fighting was too restrictive to the Tiger Army, and if it continued, it would be annihilated by the Yan Army sooner or later.

However, he forgot who ordered the pursuit into the city at the beginning, and the recklessness in the hurry at that time not only destroyed Ashinayan's strategy of waiting for work at ease, but he also took the lead in chasing and following the Yan army into the narrow alley, and when he met the fork, he ordered the division of troops to pursue, and even asked for help from outside the city to mobilize heavy troops into the city.

"Toot ~~"

The long sound of antlers wafted throughout Wuyang City, and the Tiger Capture Army in the fierce battle immediately withdrew from the battlefield and gathered in the Gullie.

Ji Chong, who was in the middle of the fight, was stunned when he heard the sound of the antlers, drew his knife and rushed to the side of a bloody man and asked, "The Hu people have withdrawn, do you want to catch up." ā€

Zhao Zheng looked at the white sky in the east, and then looked at the fire that had withered in the distance, and sighed: "It's useless, all the means that can be used have been used, and the rest is all pointing to God." ā€

The successive injuries poured a scoop of water on the Hu people, and the Conservative Army could no longer use the light enemy of the Hu people to lure the enemy into dividing and encircling and annihilating them.

As soon as Milie's mind turned around, he couldn't stop at all, and the soldiers who captured the tiger started from Dongmenfang, and the group marched inward step by step.

The Baomin soldiers who were lying in ambush everywhere listened to the messy steps of the Hu people, and had to withdraw in hatred. And because of the fire, the houses a few hundred meters along the street were not allowed to hide, and the Hu people easily emptied the eastern city.

"Ben Shuai originally thought that after the construction of the Xingdu, there would be a big city in the grassland, but coming here made me see the power of the Xia people.

It would be difficult for us to build such a magnificent city in another hundred years, and the dense houses are so scattered that even if some of them are burned, they will not diminish its magnificence. ā€

He smiled disdainfully: "No matter how majestic and magnificent it is, it is not for the grassland children to occupy it, those cowardly Xia people only dare to hide in that small forbidden city under the iron horses of the grassland warriors, all this is our spoils of war." ā€

"The things that have been robbed will eventually be taken away, so we rob the Xia people of the city-building technology and let their craftsmen call us knowledge, these are the treasures that others can't snatch."

Yelu lone wolf told a great truth, and Shudu listened and nodded frequently. The weak Xia people relied on their wisdom to block the brave steppe warriors for thousands of years, if the grassland could also have these skills, would they not have to live in the water and grass everywhere, endure the cold wind and flying snow to survive.

"Decree that after breaking the forbidden city, it is not allowed to slaughter the city, behead the scholars and nobles, and take away the craftsmen and women."

"No."

He gave Jerod a blank look.

Another 30,000 troops marched in, and Wuyang City was trampled by 50,000 Hu people for a while, and Shudu rode on horses and was surrounded by guards and slowly came to the forbidden city wall.

Zhao Zheng looked at him proudly with a conscience in his hand, and the two thousand people army also supported each other and looked at the fierce tiger army.

"Good man, you are Zhao Zheng, the chief general of the Yan Army?"

"It's me, you're the barbarian."

Several generals of the Tiger Capture Army were about to rush over, but they were stopped by Shudu with a smile.

"Barbarians? But I, a barbarian, am talking to you in the city of your Xia people, and your life and death are still in my thoughts, is there anything wrong with barbarians? ā€

"Hahaha"

The Tiger Snatchers laughed.

Zhao Zheng also smiled and said: "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't think that you can be majestic in my Chinese land for the rest of your life."

Today I am defeated, but although my brothers and I are defeated, it is a pity that I will die, and I will no longer be able to take my brothers to the territory of your Donghu and admire the waist of the orchid from the throne of Hindu. ā€

"Yes, I will definitely bring my king appreciation to your head, and see how unashamed the generals of the Southern Dynasty are in Zhuxia."

Shudu slowly pulled out the knife, and Zhao Zheng also slowly raised his question.

"General Zhao is slow, it's not too late to die after listening to the next word."

Yelu Lone Wolf immediately stepped forward and said: "The general led 8,000 soldiers to block my 100,000 army, and now he has brought 2,000 remnants to die generously, and I am full of admiration.

But I thought that the general was so unwise, King Yan was mediocre, and the Yan army was incompetent, so why bother you to work for it.

What's more, I heard that when you were defending the city, the nobles in the city were plotting to sacrifice the city, and it was not worth the general's life for such a court.

Moreover, the general ordered the people to enter the forbidden city without authorization, and also demolished the Taimiao of Yan Guo, even if our army let you live, King Yan will punish you with death.

In the face of such an unkind and unrighteous court, why not switch to our Northern Dynasty, and my Wang Ruizhi will reuse the general. ā€

Saying that, Yelu lone wolf dismounted and saluted, and said, "The general should think twice." ā€

Shudu laughed and said: "What Yelu boy said is right, if you are willing to surrender to the marshal and protect your lordship." ā€

At the moment of death, a way of life suddenly opened, and the soldiers and soldiers of the people looked at Zhao Zheng one after another, expecting what favorable decision he could make.

Yelu looked at everyone's expectant gaze, and said: "As long as the general surrenders with his subordinates, I promise not to hurt a single soldier in the city, and we can also leave those old and weak women and children with the people of Wuyang." ā€

"Wow"

Not only the soldiers and soldiers of the people, but also the people who were watching on the forbidden city wall were also surprised, and a few of them shouted on the city wall at the moment: "General Zhao, you have been loyal to the Yan Kingdom, surrender." ā€

"Let's go!"

"Let's go!"

……

Under the desire for life, they decisively abandoned the dignity of Zhao Zheng and the dignity of the people of Yan State, and persuaded the warriors who fought for their blood to surrender.

Ashina Yan smiled and looked at the people on the city wall, the people of Zhuxia are so interesting, maybe he can be their king in the future.

"I'd rather be a Xia ghost than a Hu slave."

"Zhao Zheng is grateful to the commander of Shudu and the general for their kindness, and please be careful when cutting off my head later, don't cut it crooked, it's ugly."

The lone wolf was stunned, and cut off his head and didn't cut it crookedly. This man is not used, but must be slain. He bowed and turned to leave.

Shudu also smiled and prepared to give an order.

"Zhao Zheng will not surrender, slaughter the city!"

Ashina Yan walked out with a smile and said loudly to the people on the city wall: "Zhao Zheng will not surrender, and the city will be slaughtered for three days after the city is broken, and the chickens and dogs will not be left." ā€

"Ah, Zhao Zheng, you come down, I don't want to die."

"Why don't you surrender?"

"Don't surrender if you want to kill us?"

The people are crazy, and they can figure out the discord with their toes, but they don't care about it and do their best to scold Zhao Zheng in the most vicious language.

"You're a wicked man."

Zhao Zheng said to Ashina Yan.

"But I'm worse than you."

The conscience gripped and slid towards Zhao Zheng's neck, and Ji Chong behind him hurriedly split it and scolded: "For the sake of these fools, you don't want the reputation of our brothers." ā€

Once Zhao Zheng committed suicide, he fell into the pretext that defending the city was not conducive to committing suicide, and then the imprisoned nobles would stand up and slander, and the people were afraid that there would be no second time if they had a pit for Zhao Zheng. Ji Chong raised his knife and was about to rush forward to kill, but he paused slightly, and whispered: "I dug a secret passage in the north of the city, and you will fight out with all your strength while you are in chaos, and don't come back after you go out." ā€

"Brothers, fight with them."

The soldiers of the Baomin Army didn't care about any way to live, and at the moment when Zhao Zheng wiped his neck, he gritted his teeth and clenched the knife, and at this time, the tiger who wanted to go crazy rushed over. Zhao Zheng was still stunned to digest the news, and suddenly felt that someone was dragging him back. But it was Jing Ke who was wearing ordinary soldier armor, and his face was covered with blood and wrapped around him and rushed to the north of the city to kill.

"It's a pity that I'm obsessed."

Yelu lone wolf squinted at Ashina Yan, holding a poisonous plan, even if Zhao Zheng killed Wuyang's people, they would not praise this brave general who fought for them. Because they lack the courage in their hearts, and Zhao Zheng does not.

The most feared thing in this world is not that everyone is right and you are wrong, but that everyone is wrong and you are the only one. But you are still wrong, and you must wash away the "mistakes" with your life.

"There is an old saying in Zhuxia: If a dog that bites doesn't bark, Ashina Yan is a wolf who doesn't bark."

When Yelu lone wolf was immersed in Ashinayan's wisdom, a scout rode a horse to arrive.

"Report, a cavalry army of about tens of thousands suddenly appeared outside the city, and my camp has been surrounded."

"Oops, we're a turtle in an urn."
