Chapter 379: Military Venerable
"What do you say, is this true?"
Liu Fa was shocked, as if he didn't hear Liu Ao's words clearly, looking at Liu Ao, his eyes were a little dull, but this sluggishness disappeared in a flash, and then, his brows furrowed again.
"Yes, father-in-law, please make plans early, if you wait until Mu Qingchen's army comes from Qinglong Gorge, it will be too late!"
Liu Ao also saw that Liu Fa was a little out of shape, and then he was even more anxious, he fell to his knees suddenly, looking at Liu Fa, and it seemed that sparks were about to burst out between his eyebrows.
"Uh-huh!"
Liu Fa nodded, and pulled up Liu Ao, but there was some absent-mindedness in his eyes, he was puzzled, and he was also thinking about it, although he was not very clear about the situation in Qinglong Gorge, but he knew that it was an inaccessible and extremely difficult journey, if it was exactly as Liu Ao said, Mu Qingchen's army came out of Qinglong Gorge, and there were tens of thousands of horses in Pingnan Mansion inexplicably, not to mention himself, even the soldiers under his command, maybe they would be surrounded and killed here by Mu Qingchen, after all, the prestige of the Mu family in Pingnan was incomparable.
At this moment, Liu Ao was more anxious than Liu Fa, Liu Ao was worried about the situation of Han Ju, Han Ju sent himself out, but he chased after him with his men and horses, which really made Liu Ao feel at ease, so he was anxious, and wished that Liu Fa would immediately come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, repel Mu Qingchen and save Han Ju.
"For my father, Ao'er, don't be in a hurry, go down to rest first, I won't let Mu Qingchen set foot in Pingnan again!"
After being silent for a long time, Liu Fa finally smiled, this time, he smiled very indifferently and confidently, he patted Liu Ao's shoulder, and then comforted him lightly, and then gave another order, and immediately summoned the two brothers of the Ye family.
What Han Ju meant, Liu Fa knew best in his heart, he knew Han Ju's thoughts, so he also decided to make a bet with Mu Qingchen.
Just when Pingnan had just smelled of gunsmoke, in the far northwest, the smoke had been replaced by yellow sand and blood.
"Woo woo woo ......"
The drums and horns are moving, the wind is surging, Liu Lian is sitting on the head of the city, his hair is scattered, he looks particularly embarrassed, they have been guarding the Shuitian County City for I don't know how long, the stones that cast the Shuitian County City have become black, this black, from the blood of countless people, there are dogs and barbarian riders, there are also Great Xia soldiers, they have never given up, and they are not willing to give up, unless, the body is dead, the city falls!
"It's going to be siege again!"
Liu Lian smoothed his hair a little, and then stood up, because he had been sitting for a long time, standing so violently made his head a little dizzy, but the dog rode wildly, but he didn't care whether Liu Lian was dizzy or not.
"Hmm!"
Yue Hu on the side also saw that the other party was preparing to attack the city, he turned his head sideways and said: "The siege of the dog Rong barbarian cavalry has begun, let the soldiers prepare to release arrows!" ”
The heralds passed on his words one by one, and the Great Xia soldiers on the city wall drew arrows one after another, and wound their bows. When the dog warrior rode into the range of Shuitian County, the leader of the team shouted, and with his shout, the originally slow dog warriors howled in the sky, held their weapons high, and ran up like wild horses on the loose, and began to charge.
The dog Rong Man Rider is strong and fast, and when he looks down from above, the black pressure of the Dog Rong Man Ride is really like a tide surging and rushing, and in an instant, it is less than 100 meters away from the city wall of Shuitian County.
Yue Hu took a deep breath, raised his hand, and waved forward suddenly, drank: "Release the arrow!" "30,000 defenders, all in unison shot out of the eagle feathers, the arrows that rose in the air covered the sky, the dense rain of arrows fell, the camp of the dog Rong barbarian cavalry suddenly screamed, and pieces of dog Rong barbarian cavalry were shot to the ground.
No one to support their companions, and no one to pay attention to the wounded, the more people who fall, the faster it will only inspire the dog to ride back together, and many of the injured have not had time to get up after falling to the ground, they are knocked over by the dog Rong riding behind and trampled under their feet.
The ferocity of the dog Rong man's ride cannot be stopped by arrows, and Yue Hu has already realized it, seeing that the dog Rong is about to rush to the bottom of the city wall, instead of being nervous, a sneer appeared on his face.
At the moment when the dog Rong rode to the bottom of the city wall, the ground in front of the city wall suddenly sunken, and the dog Rong man on top didn't even figure out what was going on, so he fell in, this pit was dug out by Yue Hu's secret order, that is, when the dog Rong rode without paying attention, it was done quietly, just a night's effort, near the city gate, the Great Xia soldiers dug around the city wall two meters wide and four meters deep, like a small moat, but there was no one in it, but it was full of iron rods that were sharpened and sharpened.
The dog Rong rode into it, and was immediately pierced by the iron rod, only between the guests, there were hundreds of more dog Rong riding corpses in the narrow pit, and the dog Rong rode to see the truth, but they couldn't stop their footsteps, the momentum of the dog Rong riding behind them was too great, and they were almost forced into the pit, and the screams under the city wall were connected with time.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the Dog Rong Barbarian Riding Camp, Yue Hu raised his hand again and shouted, "Pour fire oil!" "The oil sloped down from the city, but the dogs in the pit were miserable, and some of them died, but many more were not dead, struggling to climb out of the pit. The fire oil was poured down, and those undead dogs rolled on the ground with hot horses, and their screams were terrible.
On the battlefield, either you die or I die, Yue Hu didn't have the leisure to sympathize with the enemy, and after pouring the oil on it, he immediately ordered the arrows to be released. The Dog Rong Barbarian Riding camp was in chaos, and he couldn't parry the indiscriminate shooting of the arrow rain on the head of the city, and there was a moat to block it, and the cloud ladder could not be erected, so the Dog Rong Barbarian Cavalry could only retreat hastily.
Seeing the defeat of the dog Rong barbarian cavalry, the Great Xia soldiers on the city wall shot the arrows harder, a piece of arrows chased from behind the butt of the dog Rong barbarian horse, the dog Rong barbarian rode the arrow to the ground countless, the dog Rong barbarian cavalry this siege time was not long, but the dead and wounded dog Rong barbarian cavalry was more than 3,000 people, looking up, the corpses were all over the ground in front of the gate of Shuitian County, and the discarded weapons were everywhere.
Repelled the first wave of attacks of the Dog Rong Barbarian Cavalry, the Great Xia soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, all of them were happy, but Yue Hu could not come down easily, the moat had been exposed, and he could have a hunch that the next round of attacks of the Dog Rong Barbarian Cavalry would be sharper and difficult to prevent.
The second round of attacks by the Dog Warriors had not yet been launched immediately, and it was clear that they were also adjusting their tactics. On this day, the spirits of the Great Xia soldiers remained extremely nervous, but unexpectedly, until it was dark, the dog Rong barbarian cavalry did not attack again, as if after being repulsed once, it dampened the morale of the dog Rong barbarian cavalry, and did not dare to attack easily.
The night is not suitable for the siege of the city, and it is also extremely unfavorable to the besieging side, the mood of the Great Xia soldiers has all eased up, many recruits sit around and chat and laugh, these few days of effort, they have slowly adapted to the attack of these dog Rong barbarian horses, they discuss the dog Rong barbarian cavalry is nothing more than this, every time it is impossible to attack, today is just after the defeat of the frightened dare not attack again.
When Yue Hu was inspecting the city wall, he heard the discussion of the Great Xia soldiers, and his heart couldn't help but move, the secret dog Rong Barbarian Cavalry would not go against his path and attack the city at night, right?
The night is not conducive to the besieging side, and they know it, and the dog Rong Barbarian Cavalry naturally knows it, will they take advantage of their lax defense and suddenly attack?
Thinking of this, Yue Hu frowned, rolled his eyes, quickened his pace, and returned to the Arrow Tower to discuss with Qiu Zhen. The battlefield is a place where the fighting spirit is brave, and the difference of the main general's thoughts is enough to change the fate of both sides.
In the middle of the night, the head of Shuitian County was quiet, and occasionally I could see the figure of several patrol soldiers walking slowly. On the third watch, more than 20 figures quietly came out of the camp of the dog Rong barbarian.
These people were extremely fast, and then under the cover of the moonlight, like wandering ghosts, they quietly approached the foot of the city wall. Hidden in the moat, he listened quietly for a while, and felt the Great Xia soldiers patrolling the city walking over, and two of them quickly took out the rope, and then picked up the iron claws on it and threw it upwards violently.
The iron claws flew out, and the two iron claws hooked the arrow stacks on the city wall together, and the two of them pulled hard to make sure that the hook was strong enough, and then grabbed the rope and quickly climbed towards the city wall.
These more than 20 people are all outstanding dog elites, agile and skillful, with the help of ropes, all climbed the city wall. Hiding in the shadow of the arrow stacks, they looked around, the defense of the Great Xia soldiers was very lax at night, there were not many soldiers patrolling, and even fewer guards standing guard, and even if there were, they were leaning against the city wall and dozing with their heads bowed.
The more than 20 dog elites looked at each other, and then, in a low voice, they lifted the rope up, tied it to the other end of the city wall, and slowly slid down the city wall along the life search. Their movements went very smoothly, and they sneaked into the city without any interference, and did not continue to sneak into the city, but walked cautiously towards the city gate with their waists bent and leaning against the wall......
In the offensive and defensive battle, the city gate is the most important, and it is also defended by heavy troops, but it is late at night, and the soldiers of the Great Xia soldiers have already gone to rest and sleep, leaving only two guards to stand guard here at the city gate.
After a day of intense preparations, the two guards also seemed to be tired, and they were both drunk on the ground, their heads drooping, and they did not move, as if they were asleep.
Seeing this, these dogs and elites made eye contact with each other, and by rushing out of the two of them, they quickly approached the two guards, and with the flash of the knife, the necks of the two soldiers were cut, blood spurted, and the people fell down softly, and they didn't even have time to scream. Dry and neatly solved the two Great Xia soldiers guarding the gate, but the rest of the people immediately rushed to the city gate, and worked together to move the huge door latch down, and then, open the city gate, a dog Rong elite mountain road outside the city gate, took out the fire twist from his arms, blew it, and reported to the Manchu camp with a faint firelight.
Seeing that the elite of his own dog Rong sent a signal of success, the gate of the dog Rong barbarian cavalry camp immediately opened, and a team of cavalry ran out of it. This group of cavalry was 5,000 strong, and the knights and the horses below were all covered in thick armor, which was the most powerful and famous type of the dog, the heavily armored cavalry.
These cavalry had already made corresponding preparations, wrapping the horses' hooves with cotton, so that the horses did not make a noise as much as possible during the advance, for fear of causing a vibration on the ground, and the heavily armored cavalry did not charge, slowed down, and slowly approached the city gate.
And in the camp of the dog Rong barbarian cavalry, all the dog Rong barbarian cavalry has been out of the sheath, the arrow is wound, just waiting for the cavalry to enter the city, taking advantage of the chaos of the defenders, besieged on all sides, and took Shuitian County in one fell swoop.
The heavy armored cavalry has extremely strong combat effectiveness, although there are only more than 5,000 people, but suddenly entering the city, it is enough to turn Shuitian County City upside down, combined with tens of thousands of dogs and barbarian cavalry and then besieged on all sides, and the inside should be combined with the outside, and Shuitian County City naturally can't resist. The main general of the dog Rong Man's cavalry was very carefully calculated, but he underestimated the mind of the main general on the side of the Great Xia soldiers, to be precise, he underestimated Yue Hu and Liu Ao.
The city gate was naturally opened, and these heavy cavalry began to rush towards the city step by step, seeing that thousands of men and horses had rushed into the Shuitian County City, finally, something happened.
Five thousand cavalry rushed into the city of Shuitian County. As soon as they came in with their front feet, they heard a loud noise, plus the door latch, and heard the sound of the city gate closing behind them, and the heavily armored cavalry were also startled, and they all looked back, and the general who led the team asked in a low voice: "What are you doing closing the city gate?" Our army is still to come."
As soon as he finished speaking, all of a sudden, a series of whistles sounded all around, and then, countless Daxia soldiers poured out from the city walls, under the city walls, on the roofs of the houses on both sides of the streets, and under the houses, and one torch after another was also lit, illuminating the city as bright as day. At the same time, a general in battle armor and armed with a steel gun stood on the roof and shouted: "Your army, you can't get in!" "This general is not an outsider, it is Yue Hu himself.
"Huh?"
At this moment, even a fool can see that he has fallen into the trap of the Great Xia soldiers. The general of the heavy armored cavalry screamed, instinctively looked back at the people standing at the city gate, at this time there was a firelight, and looked at it again, where is the elite of their own brute cavalry, but a group of people dressed as Great Xia soldiers, looking to the ground, there are broken corpses, which were trampled on when the heavy armored cavalry entered the city, but it can be distinguished by the armor fragments scattered all over the ground, these people are the elite of the dog Rong barbarian cavalry who sneaked into the Shuitian County City first.
Oops, the enemy has been prepared for a long time, and he has been fooled!
Now it's too late to realize this, 5,000 cavalry, surrounded by tens of thousands of Daxia soldiers, and the city gate was closed to death.
"Brothers, don't be afraid, everyone will kill me out!" The general of the heavily armored cavalry quickly regained his composure, although he was deeply trapped in the enemy camp, he was not afraid, he knew very well how strong his combat effectiveness was, surrounded by Great Xia soldiers, even if he couldn't kill the other party, but it was always no problem to break out of the encirclement.
In the past, the Great Xia soldiers did not have a way to use the heavily armored cavalry ridden by dogs, and they were afraid of them like tigers and leopards, but now it is different. Without waiting for the heavily armored cavalry to break through to the city gate, the surrounding Great Xia soldiers took the lead in attacking.
These Great Xia soldiers and infantry, carrying all sabers in their hands, the handle of the knife is as long as the blade of the sword, holding it in both hands, and they do not attack the knights on the horse, but specialize in the legs of the horses, each of them is like a ball of meat, rolling on the ground, but everywhere they pass, there are always war horses that are ridden by dogs and barbarians neighing to the ground.
The war horse that lost the horse's leg was in pain, but the knight on the horse was even more painful, falling from the horse to the ground, and the people were also stunned, but what was even worse was that the armor on the body was too heavy, and they couldn't get up if they wanted to get up from the ground, and it was even more difficult to take off the armor that was in the way, and they couldn't do it themselves without the help of others.
In just an instant, a large piece of the heavily armored cavalry fell, the roars of the war horses, the shouts of the people came and went, and the dog barbarian generals led by them saw this scene, and their eyes were about to fall out, what kind of fighting style is this of the Great Xia soldiers, why have they never seen it before?
Before he could understand the tactics of the Great Xia soldiers, the two Great Xia soldiers had already turned in front of his horse, and their swords were out together, but he was pitiful and broke all four hooves of the war horse, and the war horse toppled and turned him over at the same time. Boom! The dog Rong was about to fall to the ground as if a boulder had smashed into the ground, and the two Great Xia soldiers rushed to him, one of them took out a knife to pick his eyes, and the other swung his knife to slash his neck.
But this dog Rong Barbarian will not be comparable to the ordinary Dog Rong Barbarian, not only born with divine power, but also strong in martial arts, before the two Great Xia soldiers slashed the knife, the mace iron rod in his hand has swept out first.
Click! The two Great Xia soldiers were swept straight by the mace iron rod, and both were cut off by the waist, and the dog Rong barbarian got up from the ground, waved the mace iron rod in his hand, and killed several Great Xia soldiers. Just as he was about to kill, a dark shadow appeared behind him, and the knife silently stabbed him into the back of his neck.
The dog Rong barbarian didn't hear the person coming from behind, but he felt the pressure that naturally emanated from his body, his face changed, and he immediately dodged sideways, huh! The knife flashed against his cheek, and the dog general roared angrily, and the return hand was a sweep of the stick, and at the same time turned back to his body.
"In my territory of Great Xia, I dare to go wild, I'm really tired of it!"
Yue Hu looked at him coldly on the side, but it was not him who made the shot, but a general surnamed Zuo, the general surnamed Zuo looked at this barbarian general, his eyes were full of disdain and murderous intent, and the corners of his eyes kept scanning this barbarian general, as if he was thinking about how to dismantle this dog Rong barbarian.
"You Han people, just some waste, don't deserve to have a blue sky, white clouds, only our big dog Rong, should be the master of the earth!"
The barbarian general took out the mace iron rod in his hand and glanced at Yue Hu, not even looking at General Zuo, he was very provocative, as if he didn't know that he was almost a dead man.
Hearing such arrogant words, all the Great Xia soldiers were silent, and the anger in their stomachs had nowhere to vent, so they could only clench the steel knife in their hands, and their eyes were staring at the dog Rong heavy cavalry in front of them.
