Chapter 769: The Little General in the White Robe

No matter how strong the wind is, the snow that falls on the ground will not swell like a tidal wave. And the snow layer on the wasteland outside the city seems to be really moving, and there are only two possibilities. Either an avalanche or ...... It's fake.

How could there be an avalanche outside Wei County?

So, the surging snow tide is fake.

Countless soldiers, dressed in white robes, not only covered their bodies, but even their heads and faces. In such a bitter cold weather, a soldier in a white robe moved forward on his knees. The people at the front even kept crawling forward on the snow. The night was thick and the sky was overcast, so there was no need to lie down a hundred paces outside the city, but the sky suddenly cleared, so that these soldiers had to be cautious.

The city wall of Wei County is not very tall and strong, this city was built more than 100 years ago, it has fallen into disrepair, and many of the battlements on the city wall have been destroyed. In the turbulent years of the last years of the Great Sui Dynasty, the defenders of Wei County strengthened the city defense, but only built a few arrow towers on the city wall, and piled up the missing battlements of the city wall with mud.

The city wall barely exceeds one zhang, compared to the eastern capital Luoyang City, it is like the ratio of mountains and soil bags, after Yan Yunjun defeated Wei County, Wei Yong sent people to splash water on the city wall with millet straw, and froze a layer on the city wall, which can not only increase the height of the city wall, but also prevent the feather arrows of the enemy army.

This Wei Yong is a southern general, and he has more experience in defending the city than attacking.

When the straw is frozen in water, it looks like hard rammed earth. Although there are many elements of deception, it is not a good thing to use to defend the city. Because of the straw, the feather arrows could get stuck when they were shot on them, and the soldiers could easily pull out the feather arrows for their own use, and even if the enemy used rockets, it was impossible to ignite the frozen millet straw.

The defenders walked back and forth on the city walls, and from time to time they took a breath of hot air to warm their almost frozen hands. The leather armor on their bodies was frozen hard like iron sheets, and they clicked as they walked. Standing on a high place, even if the leather armor is a thick cotton coat, it can't block the wind and cold.

From time to time, the patrolling soldiers glanced out of the city, but it was impossible to see the changes outside the city.

And the white-robed soldiers who were lying on the ground outside the city and crawling forward, the more they got to the city, the more careful they became. In the end, it took half an hour to move slowly over the distance of one hundred and ten paces.

A white-robed young man led by him slowly stood up against the wall under the city, and then made a gesture. The soldiers near him immediately conveyed the order to the people around him with gestures, and soon, the white-robed soldiers who were densely packed under the city wall were all ready. They untied the rope from their waists, and at one end of the rope was a five-clawed iron hook.

The other soldiers took the torches they had with them, and when they heard a trumpet sound, they lit the torches wrapped in oilcloth in their hands and threw them up the city wall with all their might. In an instant, thousands of torches were thrown up, like a waterfall of flames, magnificent and dazzling.

It's just that this waterfall flows from the bottom up.

As the torches rose into the air, the white-robed soldiers under the city walls immediately stirred the ropes in their hands. With a clattering sound, hundreds of ropes were thrown up the city walls.

"Enemy attack!"

Shrill shouts rang out from the walls, and soon the sound of defensive trumpets and gongs rang out, hurried and terrible.

The five-clawed iron hook hooked the frozen millet straw at the highest point above the city wall, and the soldiers below pulled it hard a few times to stabilize the iron claw, and under the loud order of the white-robed general, hundreds of white-robed soldiers began to fight to climb the city. If it weren't for the frozen millet straw on the top layer of the city wall, it would have been extremely difficult for Iron Claw to hit and catch on the bare city wall!

Obviously, the besieging side was extremely observant. It can also be seen from this that the enemy who came to attack tonight has been preparing for a long time. And this heavy snowfall just gave them a chance.

But it was precisely because of that layer of millet straw that many white-robed soldiers fell from mid-air because the iron claws were not firmly hooked. But soon, another rope was thrown up.

The white-robed general who commanded the soldiers to climb up was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his face was resolute and arrogant. A pair of sword eyebrows, and the lips are slightly thin and cool. Seeing that some of his men had already landed in the city, the young general also took off the rope from his body and threw it on. He held the knife in his mouth and climbed up with both hands on the rope. The movement was like a spirit ape, and it didn't take long for him to climb up the city wall, which was more than a foot high.

At this time, the one hundred and ten white-robed soldiers who climbed the city wall first were already fighting with the Yanyun army defending the city.

Caught off guard, and there weren't many defenders on the walls!

The black-armored Yanyun army and the white-robed enemy army fought on the city wall, and the blood splashed on the frozen city wall immediately burst into a hot steam.

The shouts of killing grew louder and louder, tearing apart the silence of the night.

The white-robed young general leaped with all his might, and glanced at the city wall as he climbed it. Seeing the Yan Yunjun of the brigade running up from the horse road to the city wall, he took the horizontal knife from his mouth and pointed in that direction: "Kill it!" Suppress the Yanyun thief. The brothers in the back are watching us, come with me! ”

This young general is like a cheetah, his movements are fast and ruthless, and no one in front of him can stop him, the knife in his hand splashes a bloody path, and he kills people all the way to the direction of the road. Dozens of soldiers followed him closely, protecting his rear and flanks.

Soon, the young general rushed to the crossing.

Seeing that the Yan Yun army in the city was rushing up the horse road to support, a strong killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he ordered his own soldiers to block the crossing, and he stood at the front of the queue.

Two miles outside the city of Wei County.

A Xia Junlang general looked at the outline of the city wall faintly visible in the distance, and couldn't help but say with some worry: "When the young general first came to the battlefield, did he send more reinforcements to respond?" ”

The silver-armored general sitting on a stone was a middle-aged man with a square face, a beard, rough eyebrows, and cold eyes. He was covered in a thin layer of snow and had obviously been sitting here for a long time.

"Not necessarily"

He said two words lightly, but he was extremely firm.

……

……

The white-robed young general slashed the Yanyun Army soldiers in front of him to death with one sword, and then removed half of the skull of the second soldier who pounced on him with one sword. Blood poured out like a waterfall, splashing the young general's body. The white robe was stained with blood, like a plum tree blooming in the snow.

Wiping the slightly hot blood on his face, the young general's eyes became even more cold and arrogant.

The knife in his hand was like lightning in the night sky, and each knife was faster than the other. The surging Yan Yun Army, which rushed up like a tide, was blocked by dozens of white robes, and the corpses rolling down the road also hindered the forward steps of the follow-up soldiers. But Yan Yunjun still struggled forward to kill, stepping on the corpses of his comrades and trying to kill the white-robed soldiers who stopped in front.

Because there had been no fighting for nearly a month, there were not many defenders on the city walls. Most of the soldiers were resting in the large camp in the city, and when they heard the sound of the trumpet, they hurried to the city wall, but by the time they reached the bottom of the city wall, many of the enemy had already climbed up. In a short period of time, the enemy took control of this section of the wall.

The walls of Wei County were too low, and the enemy came too abruptly.

No one thought that the enemy would attack in such weather. Dressed in a white robe, he quietly went to the city wall under the cover of heavy snow. The millet straw, which was originally frozen to defend against the enemy's feathered arrows, became a tool for the enemy to climb the city wall.

On this section of the city wall, hundreds of Yanyun soldiers on duty could not hold the battle line at all, although they struggled to cut the rope and kill the enemies who climbed up, but there were still more and more enemies who climbed up the city wall. When the enemy outnumbered the defenders, the walls were actually declared lost.

Outside the city, dense white-robed soldiers were still climbing towards the city wall. When a large number of soldiers attacked, the following teams began to lift the ladder up and set it up.

About 300 soldiers of the Yanyun Army who defended the city only held out for half an hour before all of them died. No one surrendered, no one lived.

After the Xia army that attacked the city wall increased in strength, the white-robed young general began to attack the city with people. The two torrents, one black and one white, collided fiercely on the horse road, but because the Xia army was attacking from top to bottom and occupying a favorable position, soon, the situation became more and more unfavorable to the Yan Yun army, and the soldiers could not withstand the pressure and began to be forced back by the Xia army step by step.

The white-robed young general rushed to the front from beginning to end.

With a pop, the horizontal knife in his hand, which had already collapsed into countless gaps, was stuck in the skull of the Yanyun Army soldier in front of him and pulled out. The young general kicked over the corpse of the enemy, and without looking back, shouted two words loudly: "Knife come!" ”

One of the soldiers who followed him had nine knives tied behind his back, and quickly pulled out one of them and handed it to the young general.

"When I use up these nine swords, I will slaughter the enemy!"

These are the words he said before he went to the city.

At this time, Wei Yong, the guard of Wei County of the Yanyun Army, led a large team of men and horses to kill him. There are nearly 4,000 Yanyun troops in the city, and the strength is still superior compared to the Xia army that is now attacking the city wall. But because the Xia army rushed down from the city wall, it was difficult for the Yan Yun army to take the city wall back.

"Zhao Xiaosan!"

Wei Yong looked at the enemy in front of him with a solemn face, and loudly ordered his own personal soldiers: "Take a few people, immediately rush out from other city gates, and go to Fanshui to find General Xue Wanche for help!" I'll lead people to hold on, go quickly! ”

"General! You lead people to break through, I'll stay! ”

Zhao Xiaosan shouted with a crying voice.

"Get out!"

Wei Yong kicked Zhao Xiaosan out: "Since Lao Tzu is guarding Wei County, this life should stay here." Fanshui is only a hundred miles away, if you run fast enough, maybe Lao Tzu won't die when General Xue comes with his troops! ”

Zhao Xiaosan got up from the ground, wiped a handful of tears and nodded vigorously, and ran out with a few pro-soldiers.

"Brethren!"

Wei Yong pointed at the white-robed Xia Jun who had rushed down from the city wall with a horizontal knife and shouted: "If we lose Wei County, we will all be sinners!" Kill the past, rather die than retreat! ”

The soldiers of the Yanyun Army roared and rushed towards the enemy.

……

……

The Xia army, which occupied the city walls, was condescending, and a large number of archers began to pour out feathered arrows. Because of the lack of preparation, Yan Yunjun lost its geographical advantage and was suppressed. Wei Yong fought with his men and horses for half an hour, but he still couldn't get closer to the city wall.

He fixed his eyes on the young general who was the leader, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"Kill the enemy with me!"

He shouted loudly, and then led a hundred and ten of his subordinates to form a sharp cone formation and killed the white-robed young general's position. Wei Yong's martial arts were excellent, and his own soldiers were also well-trained, so he quickly cut a hole in the Xia army's men and horses like knives, and he was getting closer and closer to the white-robed young general. It was at this time that the young general also discovered him.

"I can't help myself!"

The young general snorted coldly and threw away the broken knife in his hand: "Knife!" ”

The soldier behind him handed out the fourth horizontal knife.

When Wei Yong was in Du Fuwei's army, he was known for his bravery. Because of his superior force, Zhang Liang also attaches great importance to it. That's why he was asked to take three folding battalions to guard this important place in Wei County. When Du Fuwei conquered Jiangdu, Wei Yong was the first person to climb the city wall of Jiangdu. In that battle, Wei Yong killed more than fifty enemies. Among them was a much higher rank than him, who had bandaged his wounds after the war.

Du Fuwei exclaimed at the time: "Han Gaozu has Fan Xu, and now I also have my own Fan Xu!" ”

But Wei Yong died.

I couldn't stop the young general's knife, because this knife ...... It's just too fast. Wei Yongcai, who had enough experience in killing, slashed the knife out, and the young general's knife pierced his heart.

"You...... Who is it? ”

Before he died, Wei Yong asked unwillingly.

"Daxia Baoguo Gong, the generalissimo of all soldiers and horses, Wang Fubao, is my father-in-law."

The young general slowly raised his chin, looked down into Wei Yong's eyes and said, "My name is Wang Roar." ”
