Chapter Twenty-Four: The Runaway Cloud Breaker Army
The sky was gradually dawning, and a few remnant stars were embedded in the pale blue sky, and a piece of fish belly white appeared on the eastern horizon. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe earth is hazy, like a layer of silver-white light veil.
Patches of morning glow all rushed to the horizon, as if soaked in blood, showing a faint red.
Qiu Laohu gasped and stood on the wall covered in blood, his right hand covering his left shoulder, his left hand had been cut off during the battle, and hot blood gushed out from the severed arm and sprinkled on his body. His whole body was covered with wounds large and small, and the loss of blood made him feel strongly dizzy, and he could only lean against the city wall to forcibly support his body.
"Akiba, we're meeting again." Xiao Xintian, accompanied by several Tuyuhun soldiers, stood in front of Qiu Laohu, looked at his old opponent in front of him with complicated eyes, and continued: "You didn't expect that the way we met would be like this! ā
Qiu Laohu raised his head, he only felt that his head seemed to be a thousand pounds, and a double image appeared in front of him, understanding that this was due to excessive bleeding. He looked in the direction of Xiao Xintian with confused eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he opened his mouth and moved a few times, and spoke softly, but because of extreme weakness, he couldn't say a word.
Xiao Xintian watched Qiu Laohu slowly close his eyes, signaled his subordinates to probe the other party's snort, and found that he was still alive, so he asked Qiu Laohu to be taken down and locked up, and he was standing on the wall of Shancheng, looking at the city he had built, his heart was full of joy.
"Bang!" The rat punched the solid ground, bleeding from the knuckles of his fingers and still unaware of it, and said hatefully: "Damn! ā
After walking for most of the night, and then surprisingly meeting with Baiqi, Baiqi left part of his troops to protect the safety of the people of Shancheng, and then took the Cloud Breaking Army, the Liangzhou defenders and the young soldiers of Shancheng to quickly support Shancheng. When it was almost dawn, they came to a place five miles away from Shancheng, and at this time, the Tuyuhun army had already captured Shancheng. They ended up being a step too late.
White stretched out his palm and patted the mouse on the shoulder, was silent for a moment, and then said to the mouse: "Bear with me, I am outnumbered!" ā
The mouse nodded with red eyes, indicating that he understood White's words, and then his eyes fell on Shancheng in the distance, patiently waiting for the night to come. Now that the number of people on his side is three or four times less than that of Tuyuhun's, and the other party occupies the city and has a favorable geographical position, even if the Cloud Breaking Army is good at raiding and beheading operations, it will not be able to easily enter Shancheng. Now that the time and place are not on my side, then I can only wait slowly, and when it is evening, I will have a chance!
Everyone found a relatively hidden place, Bai Qi ordered people to take out the special dry food, and distributed it to the original soldiers of Shancheng who followed to eat, and sent people to take turns to monitor the situation in Shancheng, and the others had a good rest and waited for the arrival of night.
In late spring and early summer, the morning is still a little cool, and by noon, the sun has begun to bask on this high field. The sunlight scorched everything in the field, and although Bai Qi and the others who were hiding outside had put on their coats, they could still feel the burning heat of their body skin as if they had been burned by fire.
At noon, the sun was shining, and on the city wall of Shancheng, dozens of soldiers wearing the uniforms of the defenders of Shancheng were tied by Tuyuhun soldiers with ropes thick with their fingers and hung from above. These Tuyuhun soldiers looked at the dying defenders of Shancheng who were hanging from the city wall, pointed their fingers at them, and kept talking loudly in their mouths, with a look of satisfaction and pleasure on their faces.
The scout, who had quietly approached the vicinity of Shancheng, looked at this infuriating scene, looked at the enemies whose faces had been distorted on the city wall, clenched their hands and gritted their teeth, and slowly retreated, informing Bai Qi and the others of the situation, who were studying with everyone about the plan to infiltrate Shancheng at night.
Everyone was silent for a while, and many people's faces were red with anger, and their pinched hands made a crisp "pop" bone sound.
"Master Hou, I'm going to rescue those brothers!" The mouse suddenly stood up and said to White.
White raised his head and looked at the sky, on the clear blue sky, the scorching sun was in the sky, the sky was cloudless, and the wind blowing over carried the smell of pork being burned. Looking into the distance towards Shancheng, you can see dozens of black spots on the city wall exposed to the scorching sun. Bai Qi knew that it was the defenders of Shancheng who had been hung down by the Tuyuhun soldiers - the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, a group of soldiers guarding the west of the Tang Dynasty, who were being insulted by the enemy in an extremely obscene way!
"Are all those soldiers still alive?" White turned to the scout who had returned.
"Bruised all over his body, his clothes have been stained black by coagulated blood, he is dying, and he doesn't have much strength......" The scout thought for a moment, and recounted the picture he saw when he approached despite the danger, and when he said the back, his voice became smaller and smaller: "Brother Liu, they can't live anymore......"
The rat sat on the ground with a sluggish expression, then looked up to the sky and roared angrily, and then suddenly his eyes turned back, and the whole person fell backwards.
The black man sitting near him immediately held the mouse, looked at the latter's closed eyes, pinched the mouse's human center, and then raised his head to look at Bai Qi and said, "Master Hou, the mouse is probably angry and fainted!" ā
Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, ordered someone to carry the mouse down to rest, and then sat down again, looked in the direction of Shancheng for a long time and did not speak, suddenly a fist hit the black ground, gasped, looked at the people around, and said fiercely: "Enter the city tonight, kill those who see it, and leave no enemy alive!" ā
"Yes, Master Hou!" Everyone present immediately stood up and answered with white chess.
There is always a victory and a defeat in a war, so people live and people die. White has always believed that those who die in battle for their honor should be respected by everyone after death, including the enemy, and this is a basic rule that should be followed on the battlefield for thousands of years. Today, the soldiers of Tuyuhun do not know whether it is due to habit, or in order to vent their inner dissatisfaction, they trampled on the dignity of the defenders of Shancheng, who are also soldiers, then in Baiqi's view, this is an unforgivable sin!
It's a sin, and someone has to pay for it!
Even the heavens seemed to be tired of the tragic scene of dozens of people being hung alive on the city wall, and in the afternoon, a large dark cloud suddenly appeared, covering the sub-field, and the sky and the earth suddenly darkened. A strong wind blew, and then not long after, a heavy rain suddenly fell.
White looked up at the heavy rain, and behind him was an army of more than two thousand people.
The rain was getting heavier and the sky was getting darker and darker, and the raid on Shancheng was no longer needed until night, which also meant that it was possible for White to rescue more of the Shancheng defenders who had been captured by Tuyuhun.
"Let's go!" White puts a helmet on his face, revealing only a pair of eyes as bright as the moon.
More than 300 soldiers of the Cloud Breaking Army carried tools on their backs, like wild wolves moving in the heavy rain, aimed at their prey, and disappeared into the pouring rain in an instant.
