Chapter 178: The City of Warriors
Wu Li gradually woke up and found himself lying in a richly decorated room. The dark fragrance in the room floats, refreshing people's hearts. Several beautiful women dressed in Rongbu whispered and laughed while gently medicating Wu Li's wounds, the movements were very gentle, as if they were afraid of hurting Wu Li. As soon as the woman who took the medicine saw that Wu Li was awake, she immediately leaned down and asked, "General, are you awake, are you hungry?" I'll get you some porridge right away. Lang Zhong said, you can only eat porridge now, and it will be fine in a few days."
After finishing speaking, the woman turned around to serve porridge, looking at the woman's slender waist, Wu Li felt that she must be in a dream. He was still fighting in his sleep, and the wolf rode towards him one after another, his sword broke, and his horse died. He was covered in blood, and the guards fell in front of him one by one, and when a scimitar slashed down on the head, Wu Li closed his eyes and used his last strength to meet him with the half of the spear in his hand, and then he didn't know what to do.
The fragrant rice porridge caused a thunderclap in Wu Li's abdomen, and a spoonful of rice porridge was sent to Wu Li's mouth, and the woman pouted with cherries and blew out the heat, and the fragrance of the woman's body and the aroma of rice porridge rushed into Wu Li's nose together. Beautiful, so beautiful. Wu Li felt that there was no more beautiful woman than this woman.
The woman put away the empty porridge bowl and carefully wiped the corners of Wu Li's mouth.
"General, you're tired, you can sleep again, Lang Zhong said that you need to rest."
"How long have I been asleep, where is this, what is your name?"
"You have slept for three whole days, this is Dingyuan City, my name is Hailan, and I was sent by the Great Khan to serve the general."
Wu Li knew that he was not in a dream, he had become a general of the defeated army and a prisoner of the Rong Army. Although this place does not look like a prison cell, and he does not look like a prisoner in brocade clothes, these appearances cannot change the fact that he was defeated and captured. Thinking of this, Wu Li couldn't help but bow his head and sigh, and the scene of the fierce battle resurfaced in front of him. Thinking of the voices and smiles of those soldiers, Wu Li couldn't stop crying. As soon as Hailan saw Wu Li so sad, she gently took Wu Li into her arms and comforted Wu Li in a whisper, but Wu Li let out a sad voice, hugged Hailan to death, and chattered about her grievances, Hailan just listened and comforted, and gradually Wu Li fell asleep in Hailan's arms.
Mullen called Hailan out of the room, Hailan told Wu Li's performance, Mullen touched his beard and said, "It seems that this Wu Li should belong to us, don't be in a hurry to slowly influence him." This person's will is not very strong, as long as the kung fu is done, he will become the first general of the Yan Kingdom to take refuge in us. This significance is really too great, no matter what method you use, you must make Wu Li obedient, and if you do this, I will reward you well. If you want to marry Wu Li, you can too. ”
After Hailan retreated, Mu Lun walked out of the city guard mansion and looked at the full moon golden wolf flag fluttering everywhere, and his mood was unbearable. In the battle before Dingyuan City, the 100,000 Dragon Guards were all wiped out, and now there is no Yan army on the grassland that can compete with the Sky Wolf Cavalry. There are no more than 30,000 people in the north of the town, and the people will not exceed 100,000, and now the various tribes scattered on the grassland have come to join them, and in just a few days, the number of Sky Wolf Riders has expanded to 500,000 people. The men of the various tribes of the steppe have grown up on horseback since childhood, and they all have a hard bow and a scimitar. The difficult environment has created their strong character, and with a little training they are an invincible warrior.
Now Sumeduo has led 400,000 troops to besiege the northern city, and Bayintu has led 100,000 people to the west to prepare to conquer the city of Anxi. The city of Anxi is a bridge between Dayan and Manggul, where gold is everywhere and wealth flows everywhere like a river. Taking Anxi City can cut off the connection between Manggul and Dayan, and you can also communicate with Manggul's trade routes, which can provide a steady stream of wealth support for the strength of the Sirius Khanate, which is equivalent to putting a thick vein on the young heart of the Sirius Khanate, and its significance is self-evident.
Zhenbei City has now become a lonely city, Su Meiduo only used 200,000 troops to enclose Zhenbei City, and the remaining 200,000 troops swept across the Beilun River Plain under the leadership of Jebeli, cutting off the trade route from Dayan to Manggul in one fell swoop. The Great Yan Army was blocked in Yanmen Pass.
Mu Lun recalled the powerful Beijung Khanate five hundred years ago, and that territory only included the entire Pingrong steppe, but now. Five hundred years later, the descendants of Khubil had taken all the land belonging to Beijung in their hands, and with them the vast land of the Far East. This achievement has surpassed that of Beirong and Dongrong, and the descendants of Hubil have returned to this ancestral birthplace with glory and become the masters of the entire grassland once again. Now, as long as Zhenbei City and Anxi City are in the bag, the foundation of the Heavenly Wolf Khanate will be as stable as a wolf mountain.
The more Mu Lun thought about it, the happier he became, turned over his horse and ran towards Ning Yuan City, he wanted to prepare for the most solemn founding ceremony of the Heavenly Wolf Khanate.
Now the clouds in the north of the town are bleak, 200,000 wolf riders besiege the north of the city like an iron bucket, and the wolf riders are still increasing, and all the departments of the grassland have sent young men to join the army of the great Khan of Sumeduo. In just a few days, the army besieging Zhenbei City increased to 400,000 people, so that not to mention people, even a fly could not fly out of Zhenbei City.
General Wu Li didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and Zhenbei City had no choice but to take charge of the handsome seal with the head of the Dragon Guard Army, this long history was none other than Sikong Fu's brother-in-law Shao Bingqian. It is not uncommon for literati to command the army, but Shao Bingqian is still competent in managing clerical logistics, and letting him command the battle is like forcing Miss Qianjin to climb a tree. But the biggest official in Zhenbei City is Shao Bingqian, and if he can't catch the ducks on the shelves, he has to be hard-headed. Fortunately, the north of the town was high and deep, and all kinds of defensive facilities were available, and the Sky Wolf Rider never launched another attack after launching a tentative attack and suffering heavy losses.
Sumeduo felt that it was too wasteful for an army of 400,000 to besiege the city, so he sent another 100,000 to Jebeli, and then ordered Hua Deng to lead an army of 100,000 to Anxi City to support Bayintu. In this way, the 300,000 troops of Jebeli defeated the Yan army and the Suzhou army, which were going north out of Yanmen Pass and were preparing to relieve the siege of Zhenbei City, and the generals retreated into Yanmen Pass, not daring to take a step forward. Now that the strategic location of Wolf Mountain has been lost, Dayan's largest source of war horses has fallen into the hands of the Heavenly Wolf Khanate, and the prototype of the strong rise of the Heavenly Wolf Khanate has been formed.
When the news reached Fengtian, the capital of the Great Yan Emperor, Emperor Su Zheng spurted out a mouthful of old blood and passed out. The ministers were panicked, but the people of the capital never gathered in front of the Suzaku Gate as they did last time, and they avoided the Suzaku Gate no matter what they did, and they didn't even want to look at the Imperial City. The people in Fengtian City and near Jingzhao moved to Sizhou one after another, leaving only some old people who were reluctant to leave their hometowns to stay in their hometowns.
Fengtianfu Yin has written a letter to ask for instructions for this, but no one pays attention to him, Fengtianfu Yin sighed and let it go.
After the imperial doctors rescued Emperor Su Zheng, he finally came to his senses, he took Long Xingrong's hand and said, "Where is the heavenly gift?" ”
"Northwest rogues are prevalent, killing people and overstepping goods, attacking various state capitals, and Niu Tianci is leading the army to suppress bandits. However, the Liukou are scattered all over the northwest, coming and going like the wind, and it is extremely difficult to clear them at one time, Niu Tianci has repeatedly played in the hope of recruiting troops in the northwest and completely exterminating the Liukou, and now the war is in full swing and the army cannot be transferred back. ”
"My father regretted it very much, it was better to leave the heavenly gift in the Far East, at least Rong Yu would not be arrogant to this point. Who else is there now? ”
"Father, it is better to order Wang Meng to lead the army to attack the Heavenly Wolf City, or it may be possible to solve the danger of the northern city of Zhenbei."
"It's difficult, now that the general trend of the capture has been achieved, the army is strong, and the Heavenly Wolf City must be heavily guarded by heavy troops where it is based. Although the Flying Tiger Army is brave, it is difficult to support it alone, and it is difficult to achieve without the cooperation of several aspects, and it will only increase casualties. Liaodong is the land of Longxing, there can be no loss, Wang Meng can't move. ”
"Father, now General Gao Lang is confronting the Jiangnan Coalition Army, and he can't go north, and there are no more generals available in the court."
"There's one more person available."
"Father is talking about the Duke of Qin?"
"Alas, now I can't take care of so much, let's use Qin Guogong."
"But there are no soldiers to send, otherwise I will assign Ling Wuwu's Northern Army to my uncle."
"No, no. Let him go to Suzhou and recruit soldiers on his own. ”
There were no lions arrayed, no stage to worship the generals, Long Xingrong rushed to the Qin State Mansion alone to hand over the holy decree to Yan Chengyu. After waiting for twenty-five years, Yan Chengyu, who had gray hair, finally put on his robe again and set out on horseback. Yan Chengyu only left Fengtian with five hundred generals and personal guards, and on the day of the expedition, Fengtian City was empty of ten thousand people, and the people gathered ten miles outside Fengtian Gate to send each other, the golden dragon battle flag fluttered in the wind, and the Yanzi handsome flag hunted and hunted, but Yan Chengyu had no iron-blooded hero behind him.
The people looked at the distant Great Yan Army God and knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, this Great Yan has become like this, Emperor Su Zheng has not forgotten to suppress Yan Chengyu, there is not a single soldier, is it because Yan Chengyu wants to resist the enemy alone? Yan Chengyu didn't understand, but he still put on his battle robe and walked onto the battlefield without hesitation, who can always compare with the so-called loyal and brave.
Yan Chengyu walked all the way, and a group of white-bearded veterans joined his queue, and when Yan Chengyu came to Jizhou, there were already more than 20,000 veterans behind him. Although the lion is old, the majestic wind is still there, Jizhou Thorn Shi Gou Xiangfei led 10,000 soldiers to wait on the side of the road, and Zhang Deyi's 50,000 Zhenbei troops lined up and waited. Zhang Deyi, you, immediately salute and ask for reconstruction.
"Zhang Deyi, the commander of the Zhenbei Army of the Flying Tiger Legion, led his department to meet Yan Shuai, and our department requested to be rebuilt."
"Zhenbei Army, return to construction!"
"Jizhou Thorn Shi Gou Xiangfei visited Yan Shuai, and the soldiers of Jizhou Prefecture Cangshan Prefecture requested to be rebuilt."
"Rebuilt."
This scene was playing out again in Suzhou, when the two thousand students of the Yanmen Branch lined up in a neat line to join Yan Chengyu, Yan Chengyu's army had 100,000 people. And on the road from the northwest to Suzhou, 100,000 northwest iron horsemen are quickly marching towards Yanmen Pass. Liaodong, Liaozhou, and Dayanbian Prefecture all had troops of varying numbers rushing towards Yanmen Pass.
Zhenbei City has been besieged for almost two months, the grain and grass in the city have been exhausted, and the soldiers and civilians in the city are starving and struggling to support, they don't know any news from the outside, they only know that they must not let Rong Lu enter the city, even if there is only one person left in the city, Rong Lu can not be allowed to enter the city. The iron gates of the four city gates have been molten iron and cast on the city gate holes, and Shao Bingqian only said one sentence when he lectured the military and civilians in the city: "I will be born as a Great Yan person, and die as a Great Yan soul." ”
Wu Li had already changed into the clothes of the Rong Department and went to the front of Zhenbei City every day, shouting that the soldiers and civilians of the whole city should go out of the city and surrender, but no one in the whole city answered him. For several days, Wu Li knelt in front of the city gate and begged and cried, hoping that the soldiers and civilians in the northern part of the city would surrender. Su Meiduo has already set the highest conditions, if the soldiers and civilians in Zhenbei City surrender, the people will go wherever they want and will not be blocked, and they will pay the passage fee. If the soldiers are willing to stay, they will be promoted to three levels on the spot, and they will become a part of their own, and their power and treatment will be equal to that of the Golden Wolf Department.
But the answer to Su Meiduo was still the crossbow of the siege crossbow that was fired extremely quickly, and the soldiers in the north of the town had people who suddenly fell every day, but no matter how they fell, their hands holding on to their weapons never let go. The wolf riders set up a cauldron around the north of the town, boiling the beef and mutton, and the aroma continued to waft into the north of the town, which was a huge temptation for the soldiers and civilians who were suffering from hunger, but the answer was that the wolf rode still crossbow guns and thunderbolts.
Another month later, when Shao Bingqian stood at the head of Zhenbei City with a long knife supporting his weak body, his already thin body was only skinny and bone-covered, and it could no longer support the weight of the armor. He could only stand there in a civilian uniform, and he no longer had the strength to draw his bow and arrows. Lying behind him were the corpses of 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Zhenbei City, most of whom had starved to death.
Shao Bingqian stood on the city gate with his body propped up, looking at Wu Li who was mourning and crying under the city, and looking at the army of wolf cavalry gathered around him, he wanted to look up to the sky and howl, but he didn't have the strength.
"Brother Tianci, Bingqian doesn't have your ability, but Shao Bingqian understands righteousness and knows how to repay the country with death. Brother God, you won't look down on me, can we, we can be the best brothers, right? ”
Shao Bingqian opened his mouth and smiled silently at Su Meiduo, and he shouted with all his last strength: "Dayan! No !! ”
There was silence outside the city, and Su Meiduo looked at Shao Bingqian, who was still standing at the head of the city, and tears slipped down her beautiful face. The 200,000 Heavenly Wolf Riders raised their hands in front of them and prayed in a low voice, praying for these 100,000 opponents. The white clouds in the sky are rolling, the pine waves on the top of the wolf mountain are roaring, Zhenbei City has not been conquered by the enemy since the day it was built, and now he is still standing proudly in front of the enemy. He would not have been conquered before, and he would not have been in the future, because from now on, the city is guarded by 100,000 loyal souls.
"Order, close the four gates of the north city of Zhenbei, and leave this proud city to them and leave it to Dayan, this is the glory they deserve. The Great Khan named this place the City of Warriors, and in the future, the warriors of our Celestial Wolf Khanate will be like them, loyal and fearless. The whole army salutes the warriors. Karalongtai! ”
"Karalongtai! Karalongtai!! Karalongtai !! ”
Yan Chengyu, who was stained with blood, finally broke through Jebeli's interception and led his army to kill Zhenbei City. When the army was ten miles away from the north of the town, the horn sounded in front. The 200,000 Heavenly Wolf Riders were lined up in a dense formation, and the black pressure was not in sight. Jebeli, who lost half of his troops, led the remnants to merge into the Heavenly Wolf Army, and now there are only 100,000 of Jebeli's 300,000 troops left, and those 100,000 people have fallen on the grassland, and Yan Chengyu's army, which has not fallen 300,000, has also lost more than half.
"Is that veteran Yan Shuai? Sure enough, it was a male lion, but unfortunately it was already old. ”
Su Meiduo said softly, with infinite regret in his eyes. After this battle of life and death, this twenty-year-old girl has grown into a qualified leader, she no longer has the shyness and childishness that a girl should have, and the bearing of a king envelops her whole body.
Yan Chengyu looked at the celestial wolf army in front of him, and then looked at the blood-stained soldiers behind him, he knew that he couldn't take a step forward no matter what.
It took only ten days from Yan Chengyu came to Yanmen Pass to break through Jebeli's desperate blockade, which cannot but be said to be very fast, so fast that even Yan Chengyu did not make careful arrangements, so he led the army out of Yanmen Pass and fought hard with Jebeli. There were less than 300,000 troops when they left the customs, and now there are less than 100,000 people left, whether to consume these hundreds of thousands of people here, or to return to Yanmen Pass to plan for the future, Yan Chengyu's heart is extremely conflicted.
"On the other side is Yan Shuai, in Xia Wuli. Yan Shuai, Zhenbei City is still Dayan's, all the soldiers and civilians in the city were martyred, no one surrendered, they all starved to death~~~~~. Yan Shuai, Wu Li failed to stick to the duty of the Great Yan soldiers, and Wu Li coveted wealth and surrendered to the Heavenly Wolf Khanate. But what Wu Li said was true, the Great Khan of Sumeduo had issued an order, and Zhenbei City was renamed the City of Warriors, leaving it to those soldiers and civilians and to Dayan. Yan Shuai don't fight anymore, go back. ”
Yan Chengyu took out his clairvoyance, he saw the golden dragon flag still fluttering at the head of Zhenbei City, and saw the long history that stood at the head of Zhenbei City, which he didn't know, Yan Chengyu silently put away his clairvoyance.
"The rear army becomes the front army, the army is withdrawn from Yanmen Pass, and the commander is in the formation! The whole army turned! ”
More than 100,000 Yan troops silently turned around and retreated, Yan Chengyu immediately blocked in front of the hundreds of thousands of heavenly wolf army, and Su Meiduo never gave the order to attack.
"I take back what I just said, although Yan Shuai is old, he is still heroic, and the whole army pays tribute to Yan Shuai."
Hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Wolf Riders drew their scimitars and stood in front of them, saluting Yan Chengyu. Yan Chengyu silently watched the army of hundreds of thousands of heavenly wolves, as motionless as a statue.
"Yan Shuai, this great khan admires your prestige, and we will stop here today. Seeing each other on the battlefield in the future is a life-and-death duel, Yan Shuai please go back and send Yan Shuai. ”
"Send Yan Shuai!"
Hundreds of thousands of heavenly wolf riders shouted in unison, and Yan Chengyu turned around and left slowly. (To be continued.) )
