Chapter 176: The Fall of Dingyuan
When Su Meiduo's brigade was still a hundred miles away from Dingyuan City, he set up a large camp, set up a golden tent, and the whole army dismounted to rest. The nearby Rongbu tribe drove their cattle and sheep to the camp to meet the Great Khan. Su Meiduo's camp suddenly became lively, and Wu Li's army had to camp on the spot to monitor every move of the Rong army from afar, and the scouts were sent out like meteors, and the news sent back was very consistent. More than 60,000 people in the Rong tribe are celebrating with several nearby tribes, drinking and eating meat. Except for the men and horses guarding the camp, the wolf rode all the rest unfastened their iron armor and unsaddled their horses, and it seemed that they were not going to leave today.
Wu Li was a little relieved after hearing this, but he still ordered the scouts to continue to investigate, and then transferred the iron wall convoy from Zhenbei City just in case. After everything was ready, Wu Li breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to his subordinates: "Rong captives are strong in cavalry and shooting, and this is on the grassland, so we can't be too careful." You work hard, you won't drink too much meat and wine, and tonight you have to cheer up to make sure that nothing goes wrong. ”
The generals nodded and praised the general's old scheming, and the general was at peace in the grassland.
Gao Zan stood on the wall of Dingyuan City and looked at the gradually closing city gate and the iron gate that was lowered, and his heart was finally settled. He turned around to look at Wu Hong, who was following him, and couldn't help laughing.
"Hey, hey, Lao Wu, you often walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, and you, a perennial goose hunter, also have times when geese peck wow, let me see if the wound is healed."
"Don't look, scare you again."
A month ago, when Wu Hong went out hunting alone, he was surrounded by a pack of wolves, as the saying goes, the evil tiger can't stand the wolves, even if Wu Hong's martial arts are strong, he can't stand the attack of hundreds of wolves. Fortunately, Gao Zan saw that Wu Hong hadn't come back for a long time and brought people out to look for him, so he saved Wu Hong's life, otherwise Wu Hong would have been buried in the wolf's belly. Wu Hong saved his life, but the left half of his face was torn off a large piece of flesh by the wolf, and he almost blinded his left eye.
"Old Wu, our brothers are friends of life and death. Your old Wu followed me to this grassland to endure hardships without saying a word, and our family will never forget this friendship. When I return to the capital in the future, our family will definitely get you a big official, and it is best to give you a knighthood or something. When the time comes, don't say that you are half-pulled and your face is injured, or your whole face is injured, and our family will also get you a big girl who is like a flower and jade to be your wife, and this matter will be handed over to our family. ”
Wu Hong smiled and didn't speak. Usually, there are at least 20,000 dragon guards in Dingyuan City, but the Dragon Guards were transferred away by General Wu Li ten days ago, and now there are only 5,000 flower arm troops guarding this Dingyuan City. Five thousand people are enough in normal times, but thousands of miles away is Ningyuan City, which is now the territory of the Heavenly Wolf Khanate, which must have become a border city, and the army of the Great Khan of the Heavenly Wolf Khanate has to pass through here and return to Ningyuan, how can this not make people worry.
With the relocation of the people of Ningyuan, there are not many people left in this Dingyuan City, who is not willing to live a peaceful life, this Dingyuan has become a border city, the people are panicked, and they have found their own way out, some of them moved to Zhenyuan, and some went to Anxi City, but most of them went to the four states under the rule of Niu Tianci. In this way, the city of Dingyuan seems empty, and it cannot be compared with the previous prosperity. Wu Hong urged Gao Zan to go back to his house to rest and come back for himself in the second half of the night. Gao Zan was not polite, and led the guards down the city with great effort. Wu Hong looked at Gao Zan who walked away and said secretly in his heart: "I'm sorry Brother Gao, I'm sorry brothers." ”
In the middle of the night, a dark shadow came to Wu Hong's side, and Wu Hong nodded. The black shadow raised a torch and shook it three times outside the city, and suddenly a torch swung in the darkness outside the city, and the black shadow turned his head and said to Wu Hong: "It's here, open the city gate quickly." ”
The light of the torch shone on the man's face, as if it were Ullit. Wu Hong nodded silently, beckoned dozens of people, turned the roulette, the iron gate creaked and slowly rose, and dozens of people in the city gate took the opportunity to drill through the iron gate and ran to the city gate, unloaded the heavy three door latches, and pushed the gate open.
The sound was very harsh at night, and it alarmed the Flower Arm Army on the city walls elsewhere.
"Who, who's opening the gates. Oh no, it's the wolf riding fast and ringing the bell, uh. ”
The shouting Flower Arm Army was shot in the throat by a wolf tooth arrow and fell to the ground, and Bayintu and Wharton outside the city each led 20,000 Heavenly Wolf Horsemen into the city to fight the Flower Arm Army. Don't look at the usual performance of the Flower Arm Army, but in the face of the Sky Wolf Rider who entered the city, none of them flinched. Their combat strength is not good, and their cooperation is not tacit, but they are often desperate to rush up and fight with the wolf riders, and that posture is like a madman. The wolf rider quickly cleared the city wall, and the other three gates were opened one after another, and the wolf rider guarding outside the city lit torches and entered the city. The Flower Arm Army fought and retreated, relying on the familiar terrain and the Sky Wolf Cavalry to fight street battles.
These soldiers of the Flower Arm Army were originally recruited by Gao Zan to recruit people from the rivers and lakes, and most of them were bandits and killers, and they couldn't fight against each other, and this kind of street fighting just gave full play to their strengths. But after all, there are too few flower-armed soldiers, even if they can be ten with one, it is not enough for the wolf to ride and chop. After clearing the recalcitrant Flower Arm Army from street to street, the Celestial Wolf gradually approached the castle guard. There are also Gao Zan and his five hundred guards who are still stubbornly resisting.
There was an armory in the castle guard's mansion, and piles of thunderbolts were thrown out, and the exploding wolf riders flipped on their backs, unable to get even half a step closer. In the face of heavy casualties, Bayintu was very angry, he did not bring an artillery team this time, and the hand-thrown thunderbolts could not blow up the gates and high walls of the city guard. Bayintu had no choice but to send someone to find Ulit.
At this time, Ulit was leading a team of wolf riders to search for the remnants of the Flower Arm Army from house to house, because most of the people in Dingyuan City had moved away, and there were not many courtyards with residents, and as soon as Ulit saw the house with the little wolf's head painted on the door, it was protected, so the speed was much slower, and it was far away from the city guard's mansion.
When Ulit came to Bayintu, Bayintu asked him, "Uncle Ulit, this city is really easy to defend and difficult to attack, and I am afraid of detonating the armory, what can you do?" ”
"Let Tokhthu go, he must have a way. Come here. ”
A man who was missing half of his face came to Bayintu, and Bayintu couldn't help but be startled when he saw that terrible face.
"Bayintu Khan, in the lower heavenly wolf, the son of the wolf, the wolf head is taken off the beard, may I ask what the Khan called me?"
"Totohu, you are the first to capture Dingyuan this time, but this city can't be attacked, what can you do or not."
"Yes, when I sneak in and kill that Gao Zan, the others will be fine."
"Okay, handle this well, Ben Khan will ask the Great Khan for credit for you."
Totohu didn't speak, turned around and disappeared after a few vertical jumps, and Bayintu could only see his tongue.
"This man is too powerful, Uncle Ullett, is this Tohtahu reliable?"
"Absolutely reliable, this was arranged by the wolf lord himself, and he has been in one-way contact with me since I arrived in the Far East. His face was bitten by a wolf when he sent this information. If he wasn't one of us, how could he kill Gao Zan in person, you must know that the relationship between the two of them is the same as that of brothers, don't worry, it's no problem. ”
In the castle guard's mansion, Gao Zan, who was seriously wounded, leaned back in his chair and moaned from time to time, just now when he was directing the battle, he was shot in the left chest by an arrow from an archer, and he almost passed through the heart. Even like this, Gao Zan's injuries were very serious, and coupled with excessive blood loss, Gao Zan had reached a state of delirium. At this time, Wu Hong appeared in front of Gao Zan, and Gao Zan grabbed Wu Hong.
"Lao Wu, you are still alive, alas, why are you still coming back, let's go."
"No, if I don't come back, my master has ordered me to carry out a very important task, starting now, so I must come back. Brother Gao, I want to borrow something from you, which is your head. ”
"Old Wu, are you crazy, isn't your master Your Majesty?"
"It's not."
"Are you a spy of the Rong Division!"
Gao Zan stared at Wu Hong with angry eyes, and grabbed the long knife that was placed aside with one hand. Wu Hong grabbed his hand, and a token appeared in front of Gao Zan's eyes.
"Cold Front Order! I know you're Leng Feng's person, but haven't you already taken refuge in Snow Wolf Guard and your majesty? ”
"See clearly that this is the Leng Feng Panlong Order, of course it is not my master's. This is a special token given to me by my master, and I am asked to perform a task that is extremely important to Dayan and the people. If I want the wolf cubs to trust me, I must use your head. I'm sorry, bro. ”
"Who is your master?"
Wu Hong was silent for a long time, and whispered in Gao Zan's ear: "Niu Tianci." ”
"Hahaha, cough cough. I get it, I get it. Brother, you are good, it will be up to you to lose the land of the Extermination Department in the future, anyway, I can't even gasp for breath, so it's better for you to give me a good time. By the way, remember to burn paper money for me every year on this day in the future, it will cost a lot, and you know that I like money, cough cough cough. Brother Wu, I am a eunuch in this life, and in the next life, we will be real brothers. Come on, give me a good time. ”
Wu Hong nodded vigorously at Gao Zan with tears in his eyes, and slashed it with a wave of his hand.
The thunderbolts thrown from the castle guard became less and less, until they waited for a long time and did not see a single one thrown out. Bayintu was about to give the order to attack, but the gate of the castle guard was opened from the inside. With a hula sound, all bows and arrows pointed at the gate, and Wu Hong walked out of the door with a highly praised head.
"Bayintu Khan, Tokhtohu has completed the task, there is no one alive in the city guard's mansion, the armory is well preserved, please accept it."
"Karalongtai! Victory, long live the Great Khan! ”
The wolf riders cheered excitedly, and Bayintu turned over and dismounted to Totuhu.
"You are the greatest warrior of my Rong tribe and the proudest son of the Sirius God, please accept my ultimate high respect."
Bayintu folded his hands in front of his chest and bent down deeply at Tokhtahu, and all the wolf riders bowed to Tokhofhu.
Totohu looked at these wolf riders and said secretly in his heart: "Lord, from this moment on, the wolf extermination plan has been launched. (To be continued.) )
