Xu Ruyu stood on the top of Nanguan Mountain, under the thousand-year-old acacia with a crown like an umbrella, and looked into the distance, the mountains and mountains of Taihang were like the waves of the sea rolling in, and they were all in sight.

Entering the territory of Changzhi is the third Taihang Baicheng Ancient Road, through Huguan, Gaoping, Zezhou, Chu Shiji sent thousands of horsemen to besiege the city to blackmail grain and grass, and the rest of the cavalry rushed out of the Great Rift Valley along the Mo River, along the Yanggut Road, through the Mengmen Pass, to the border of the Youji Gongchengyi and the Fenjun Xiuwuyi, along the way except for the Xun family to send a small number of elite soldiers to disturb, the Hulan Iron Cavalry did not encounter a big resistance.

Xu Ruyu looked at the mountains like purple clouds. Six days ago, 30,000 Hulan iron horsemen entered the territory of Fenze Prefecture and surrounded the city of Zezhou. After that, Chu Shiji personally led 10,000 elite soldiers to bypass Zezhou City, from the Taihang Road in the south, along the Danshui River Valley Pass, through the Tianjing Pass, and into the territory of Qinyangyi in Fen County. Two days later, Boyan Ziyi, Chu Shixiuyan and others led the remaining 20,000 iron horsemen to leave Zezhou City, turned to the northeast, and came to the Baicheng Ancient Road, the narrowest of the eight Taihang Mountains.

Xu Ruyu thought to himself: Chu Shiji led 10,000 iron horsemen to cross the Taihang Ancient Road, and suddenly appeared in Qinyang along the Danshui River Valley, which would probably surprise many people.

Boyan Ziyi saw Xu Ruyu bowing his head and thinking about it, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, what are you thinking?" ”

"Gongziji waved his troops directly into the territory of Qinyang, which will probably surprise many people."

"Oh, what does Mr. think Gongzi Ji intends to send troops to Qinyang?"

Xu Ruyu glanced at Boyan Ziyi, Chu Shiji led a light army to break into Qinyang, and entrusted the main force to this person, which shows his status among the Hulan people. With a faint smile, he said: "Qinyang leans on the mountain in the north, blocks the river in the south, Taihang Pass is the passage to and from the hole, and the river ferry is the north and south Jinyao." Qinyang is a key point between Fenjun and Yongning, Qinzhou and Youji. Xunjia set up the county policy, and assigned Bianzhou on the north bank of the river and the south of Taihang Mountain to the jurisdiction of Hanoi Prefecture, and the governance office was in Qinyang. Gongzi Ji led the light division to the territory of Qinyang, and the world probably thought that the Hulan Iron Cavalry wanted to invade Qinyang first, and then seize Xiuwu, and capture the newly built city of Wanshan, Wude, and Huojiazhu County in Bianzhou on the north bank of the river, but crossed the river and pocketed the entire Bianzhou Mansion. After all, the elite soldiers of the Xun family in Bianzhou were trapped on the south bank of the river due to the rebellion of the displaced people, and the elite soldiers in Luochuan did not dare to leave Luo easily because of Xun Zhuwu in Hedong Mansion. After a pause, he said: "There are two important passes in the Taihang Eight Mountains that are located in this area. Cheyiguan is the road to the east of Fen County; Taihang Road is the only way for Zezhou to go south. As long as Qinyang and Xiuwu are occupied, the north and south of Fen County will be cut off. Through the Mengjin ferry, you can go to the Sanchuan River Valley. Gongzi Ji and Gongzi Ze must be also very tempted by this place. ”

Boyan Ziyi laughed and said, "When Gongzi Ze presented a great detour to the Khan King, almost all the people in the Khan Court were eyeing this area of Bianzhou on the north bank of the river, for the reason that Mr. Li said. The topographical chapter of "Lü Jian" praises Hanoi as the pivot of the world, conquering Hanoi and cutting off the connection between the northern part of Fen County and the Central Plains, and my Hulan army can attack the cities and villages in the northern part of Fen County one by one, and completely incorporate this area into the territory of my Hulan Khanate; and can maintain an active offensive posture against Yongning, Qingzhou, Youji, and Qinzhou, and then plot against the Central Plains, who can not be moved? After a pause, he looked at the iron cavalry that was marching continuously under the mountain, and said with a smile, "There are only two people in the Khan's court who oppose the outpost of the Great Roundabout Strategy to extend the enemy's place in Hanoi......

"It's probably Gongzi Ze and Helan who are in harmony." Xu Ruyu interjected.

Boyan Ziyi was taken aback and asked, "Why did Mr. Li guess that it was these two people." ”

"The big roundabout battle strategy was formulated by Gongzi Ze, and he naturally knew the advantages and disadvantages of choosing a place to fight; I heard that Gongzi Ze became the commander of the Middle Route Army because of Helan Xiang's support, and I often heard General Boyan praise Helan Xiang, thinking that the other person must be him. ”

Boyan Ziyilang laughed and said: "In the Khan's court, even if my king goes to see the heavenly master, he will also perform the gift of a disciple, but Helan can sit on his knees. Do the Li brothers know the reason for their objection? ”

"Gongzi Ze's big roundabout strategic edge refers to Youji rather than Fen County, Youji is flat and broad, and the iron cavalry rushes and kills in the wild, no one can beat it, and the northern part of Fen County is full of hills and ravines, and there are places that are not conducive to cavalry warfare."

Boyan Ziyi nodded with a smile and motioned for Xu Ruyu to continue.

Xu Ruyu paused, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The Khan court has been frustrated under the Northern Tang City, but it has not broken its troops under Fanyang City. ”

Boyan Ziyi's face was gloomy, and he said in an urn voice: "Go on." ”

"The Khan's soldiers can cross the Yanmen Heavenly Danger, and the Han family of Daiyi, Linhu and Liu Gui are indispensable, if the Khan's court takes Fenjun, it can't be said to move them."

Boyan Ziyi's face turned pale.

Xu Ruyu continued: "Although Hanoi is the pivot of the world, but the raid to seize this place, but can not be defended for a long time, the Xun family is controlled by the Khan's court, it is very likely to recruit the rebel army in Bianzhou, instead of suppressing it, and then unite the armies of the Nanyang Fu family, the Qinghe Li family, and the Qingzhou Yi family, and the Cai family's scattered troops in the southern part of Youji can also be gathered in Gongcheng." At that time, the Northern Tang Dynasty was not down, and the soldiers and horses who invaded Hanoi were besieged by several families, and the Hulan iron cavalry, which was invincible in the field, was afraid and might not have the confidence to win. ”

Boyan Ziyi said with a gloomy face: "Gongzi Ze once said that the world can recognize the big detour strategist is not Rong Yanmen and Xu Ruyu, and I didn't expect Mr. Li to have this insight. ”

Xu Ruyu laughed, pointed to the cavalry troops winding down the mountain, and said: "Twenty thousand iron horses are riding into the Baicheng Ancient Road, and I still don't know the beauty of the big detour strategy. ”

Although this is the case on his face, the worry in his heart is even worse: although Zhao Jingyun and others can spread the news of Hulan's roundabout attack to Gongcheng, Chu Shiji's 10,000 light soldiers borrowed from Qinyang and Xiuwu to return to the back of Mengmen Pass, and the defenders of Gongcheng could not rely on the dangerous terrain of Mengmen Pass to block the Hulan iron cavalry, and the defenders of Gongcheng retreated to the city and could hold for a long time.

Boyan Ziyi pointed to the narrow pass at the bottom of the mountain and said: "The Han Dynasty once built a gate here, called Zixia Pass, which is probably related to the purple rocks in this mountain. It's just that the Xun and Cai families fought for victory here, and after decades of no success, they sought peace, and this place became the common boundary between Fenjun and Youji, and Zixia Pass was abolished, and my Hulan Iron Cavalry could pass through here effortlessly. ”

Xu Ruyu sighed secretly, this is the most dangerous place of the Baicheng Ancient Road, Mengmen Pass, out of the Mengmen Pass, out of the Taihang Baicheng Ancient Road, and then more than ten miles can see the boundary stone of the common city on the north bank of the Mo River.

Xu Ruyu was silent, and slowly descended Nanguan Mountain, Boyan Ziyi was not surprised to see it in his eyes, and said secretly: If you are happy, I am afraid that people will look down on you even more. Follow him, and when you encounter danger, you don't forget to mix with him.

The two walls are vertical, the narrowest part of the pass is only a few feet, and a person can stretch out his arm to resist the two stone walls, and horses cannot go side by side.

The pass is like a corridor, and I don't know how many turns it takes, the Mo River is embedded very deep under the water, and the ears can only hear the turbulent splash, but you can't see where the water is hidden. Since only one person could pass through at a time at the narrowest point of the pass, the march was extremely slow. Until midday, Xu Ruyu and Boyan Ziyi and others have not yet passed

On the way, news came from the front, saying that the outpost had made contact with the patrolmen of the communist city, and a fierce battle began, but the march did not stop, and continued to move forward. After a while, news came from the front that Shi Cai encountered only a remnant of the road.

Xu Ruyu's heart darkened: Gongcheng was lost. When I came out of the pass, my eyes suddenly opened up, and in front of me was a half-person-high stone barrier, and there were three stone barriers behind it, which surrounded the pass, but the stone barrier had opened a few gaps, and there were many corpses scattered between the stone barriers.

Looking at this situation, Xu Ruyu could roughly guess that after receiving the news, the defenders of the Gongcheng temporarily built fortifications here to stop the Hulan Iron Cavalry, but unexpectedly the Hulan Iron Cavalry appeared behind the stone barrier, and fled in a hurry, allowing the Hulan Iron Cavalry to chase and kill all the way.

Boyan Ziyi ordered the army to stop outside the pass, and in the early hours of the morning, Helian Zhang galloped in and presented Chu Shiji's military order. Boyan Ziyi carefully read the silk hand in his hand, handed it to Chu Shixiuyan, and said to Xu Ruyu: "Gongzi Ji asked the county lord and Mr. Li to enter the city with General Helian. ”

Xu Ru was surprised and said, "General Boyan doesn't enter the city? ”

"I will lead the troops to Gaotang, and I can't follow Mr. Li into the city."

"Gao Tang?"

Youji did not implement the county policy, there are two prefectures and nine yi in the south, there are five cities along the north bank of the river, from west to east, in turn, Gongcheng, Linhe, Gaotang, Lingyi, Pingchang, and then Anyang, Dunqiu, Bozhou, Cangzhou, but Gongcheng, Linhe, Anyang, Gaotang are under the jurisdiction of Anyang Prefecture, Lingyi, Pingchang, Bozhou, Cangzhou are under the jurisdiction of Cangzhou Prefecture. Gaotang is located in the southeast of Anyang Prefecture, 300 miles away from Gongcheng, south to the river, across the river, is the three cities of Jeju, Licheng and Jiyang of Qingzhou County, the distance from these three cities is only 150 miles, it has always been the former defense city of Qingzhou.

Xu Ruyu instantly understood Gongziji's tactics: Gongziji wanted to use the 10,000 light soldiers in the city to continue to act as the main force, march to Anyang or Linhe, attract the elite soldiers in Gaotang City out of the city, besiege the city and send reinforcements, as long as the Gaotang defenders are defeated, the soldiers and horses of Cangzhou Mansion will also be mobilized, at that time, the 40,000 foot soldiers of the Hulan Forward Battalion arrived at the Anyang Mansion border, in a hurry, it is really difficult to imagine the tragic situation after the field battle between the Anyang soldiers of Youji and the 70,000 elite soldiers of Hulan.

Under the moonlight, Xu Ruyu's face was gloomy, afraid that Boyan Ziyi would see something wrong, so he turned his head to look away.

Boyan Ziyi did not doubt him, and said: "Mr. can see the beauty of Gongzi's strategy. ”

Xu Ruyu said with a strong smile: "The soldiers and horses of the Khan's court entering Youji are all cavalry, which is not conducive to attacking the city, except for surprise attacks, only to besiege the city and send reinforcements, so as to attract the Youji soldiers to the field outside the city to annihilate." Gongziji will probably lead 10,000 light horsemen to attack Anyang. ”

Boyan Ziyi laughed, took the silk book from Chu Shixiuyan's hand, handed it to Xu Ruyu, and said: "Mr. has no right to read this military order, but since Mr. has guessed it, it doesn't hurt to take a look." ”

Xu Ruyu's eyes stopped on the silk book, but he didn't read a word, thinking about how to get in touch with Zhao Jingyun and others.

Fang Su, Fan Wenlong, Zhao Jingyun, Wei Yan and others are all good soldiers, and it should not be difficult to see through Chu Shiji's strategy, but they were in a hurry to suffer from the Hulan forward battalion, and they could not report to Fan Yang, so they sent letters directly to Anyang and Cangzhou, and the guards in the two places may not listen to them. However, looking at the hasty defense of the Mengmen Pass, we can know that they failed to play any role in the defense of the common city, and Chu Shiji divided his troops to detour through the pass's strategy.

Along the way, you can see the corpses along the way, to the north gate of the city, looking at the remnants of the city under the moon, you can infer that Chu Shiji led the light cavalry to wrap the army into the city.

Approaching the city gate, I found that there was only half of the city gate left on the left, the remnants of the gate hanging on the city wall creaked and crumbled, the bricks were deeply embedded with wooden thorns, and the bluestone ground of the city gate was deeply embedded with a pair of horseshoe tracks like a knife and axe carving. Xu Ruyu looked at Helian Zhang in surprise and asked, "How did Gongziji lead the troops into the city?" ”

Helian Zhang said: "The Gongcheng soldiers built fortifications at Mengmen Pass to prevent our army from leaving Baicheng, but they did not expect Gongziji to lead the troops to rush up from behind, and they were defeated for a while. Our light cavalry followed the rout until the city, the defenders of the city saw that I Hulan iron cavalry galloped to, and wanted to close the city gate, Gongzi Ji rode through the remnants of the city, a halberd hit the city gate, and the city gate was destroyed, and the guards of the city saw that Gongzi Ji was so brave, how could they have the heart to defend the city, and they fled from other city gates. ”

Xu Ruyu was shocked in his heart, although the Gongcheng is a small city, the city gate is made of thick wood wrapped in iron sheets, but it can't stop the power of Chu Shiji's halberd. Xu Ruyu pointed to dozens of thin scars in the doorway and asked: "Gongzi Ji jumped up on his horse and waved his halberd downward, destroying the door, Dan Jin carved the street stones, leaving these scars, but why did he leave a pair of horseshoe prints in front of the city gate?" ”

"Mr. Li observed really carefully, when Gongzi Ji destroyed the door, a bearded man suddenly jumped on the city tower, and he slashed down to Gongzi Ji with a saber in his hand, at that time it was dark at night, the knife light crossed, and the city gate was reflected brightly, Gongzi Ji was unprepared for a while, and took this trick hard, Dan Li passed to the horse, and stepped out of this deep hoof print, fortunately it was the Qingjun left by Fan Wenlong, and the other horses must have exploded and died."

Chu Shixiu was surprised: "Gongcheng is just a small city, how can anyone stop the second brother?" ”

"That person is Jiang Ning's lieutenant, he is not weak, but he is not Gongziji's opponent, but he attacked when Gongziji was exhausted. He only slashed a knife, and then fled to the east, Gongzi Ji sent people to chase out, only to find that there were several masters hidden in the east of the city, and they did not notice for a while, and lost several good hands, and when the cavalry went out of the city, they went to the east together, chased out more than ten miles, and found that there were more than 100 people there, and the light cavalry did not dare to chase away, so they turned back. ”

Chu Shixiu said with a smile: "Xu Ruyu can know that our army attacked Gongcheng in the first battle, it is really good, no wonder the third brother returned to Pingcheng and praised it, when I attack Jiangning with iron cavalry, I want to take a look at him." ”

Helian Zhang said: "What can Xu Ru foolishly do, Youji is not his territory, he came to report the news, and the Cai family only has ulterior motives." Even if Cai Jiaxin him, how can he have time to arrange calmly? ”

Yan Lang said in a deep voice: "The people of Jiangning are hiding in Linhe, I will go to Gongzi Ji to ask for a group of men and horses, and take Linhe City together, maybe Xu Ruyu is also hiding in Linhe City." ”

The east of the city is more than 120 miles away is the river city, and the northeast is the Gaotang City, the river city is low, and the iron cavalry of Hulan can not be stopped, and the 40,000 servants and banners who will enter the territory of Youji in the next few days can not be stopped.

Before the southern invasion, the Khan's court revised the law of military merit and promotion, stipulating that the servant flag foot soldier could get rid of the slave nationality by beheading an enemy head, and then he could recount the military merits with the Hulan soldiers and become a knight, and he could also use military merits to wash away the slave status for his relatives.

For more than 100 years, Hulan has been conquest in various parts of the Heavenly Domain, and the clansmen of the conquered ethnic groups have been included in the Hulan Servant Banner, which has been several times larger than the Hulan people. As soon as this law was issued, the servants and bannermen were eager to fight, and their fighting spirit was high, and the soldiers of Youji were afraid that they would not be able to stop it for a while.

Xu Ruyu said secretly: The Youji soldiers should immediately shrink the defense line to the central part and give way to the narrow strip along the river. Hulan is not good at defending the city, and uses the empty city to disperse the forces of the Hulan forward army. Formed an alliance with the Qingzhou Yi clan and let the Qingzhou soldiers cross the river north to contain the Hulan forward army. When the Hulan Middle Route Army enters the central part of Youji, it is the moment of the decisive battle between the two sides.

Now the focus of the defense of Youji is at the two ends of the front and north, the central part of the army is empty, if the defenders of Anyang and Cangzhou are defeated in the field battle with the Hulan Iron Cavalry, there will be no defensive troops in the central part, and when the elite troops of the Cai family stationed in the Fanyang area are transferred south, Chu Shize's big detour strategy can be regarded as a great success.

Hulan must invest all his troops in this battle, and Xu Ruyu can't estimate how many troops Hulan will have now. When he did not meet the Hulan Iron Cavalry, Xu Ruyu only thought that the Hulan South Route Army would only have 20,000 iron cavalry, but unexpectedly there were 10,000 more, and it seemed that the Hulan Middle Route Army would have no less than 50,000 iron cavalry from a certain place in the middle of Taihang into the middle of Youji. Only by severely defeating the middle route army and causing it to die in the middle of the great detour strategy, can the final decisive battle be avoided.

Suddenly, someone pushed him, Xu Ruyu looked up at Helian Zhang and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Helian Zhang said impatiently: "General Yan wants to ask Gongzi Ji for orders to attack Linhe, will you go?" ”

Xu Ruyu glanced at Yan Lang and secretly thought: Hulan was promoted to the knighthood with military merits, although Yan Lang is high in cultivation and has long seniority, his military status is not as good as Helian Zhang, it is inevitable that he is eager to fight, and what he thinks in his heart is not shown on his face at all, and he waved his hand again and again and said: "I am just a scribe of the big tent, how can I have the opportunity to go out with you?" ”

Yan Lang said: "On the way, I heard you talk about the way of attack and defense, presumably you are also familiar with the art of war, you are a civilian, the most important thing at present is to accumulate military merits, so as to confer real power." ”

Xu Ruyu's heart moved, and secretly thought: Could it be that Yanlang still has doubts about me, hesitated for a moment, and said: "This matter still needs to be decided by Gongzi Ji." But I wondered how I could get in touch with the people in the city.

Yan Lang pushed him and said, "Let's go see Gongzi Ji now." ”

At this time, the sky was pale, and there was a misty blue light in all directions. There were many corpses lying on the long street, most of them wearing military uniforms, walking through the long street, and faintly heard the suppressed cries in the houses on both sides. Chu Shiji took advantage of the chaos to storm the city gate at night, when the curfew in the city had already begun, there were few pedestrians on the streets, and there were few civilian casualties.

Chu Shiji only led 2,000 iron cavalry into the city, 2,000 cavalry had already marched to Anyang, and the remaining 6,000 cavalry were camped outside the city.

Xu Ruyu followed everyone into the big tent that Chu Shiji temporarily set up in the official office of Gongcheng. Chu Shiji inspected the topographic map under the candle, and when he saw them coming in, he straightened up, looked at the blue light outside the door, and said, "It's dawn." He raised his hand and pointed to a man standing against the wall, and said, "You lead two teams of men to search for the remnants of the soldiers hidden in the houses." ”

The man was ordered to withdraw from the house. Xu Ruyu blocked it and said: "There are tens of thousands of houses in the city, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to search, I see that there has been no fire in the official office, and the household registration book should still be there, but let this general take the household registration document to search for people in the city, search for a few people, and follow the police example, and the remaining soldiers who are hidden will definitely be driven out elsewhere." ”

Chu Shiji said: "Mr. Li, your intelligence should not be put on this, you should not pay attention to this matter. The wolf soldiers under my account have only been in a hurry for half a month, and they have finally occupied a city, how can they not relax? He waved his hand to the man and told him to go down. Seeing that Xu Ruyu's face was pale, he didn't care, and said to Helian Zhang: "You take Mr. Li out to see, since Mr. Li is working under my account like this, how can you not know the style of the wolf soldiers under my account?" ”

Yan Lang said: "The people of Jiangning fled to Linhe, please let me lead all the soldiers and horses to capture Linhe City." ”

Chu Shiji said: "Xu Ruyu is really in that group of people, and they will not stay in Linhe to take risks. Central Plains sentence, how to say? ”

Xu Ruyu saw that his gaze stopped on his face, he was stunned, and said, "The son of a daughter, you can't sit down." See Historical Records #8226, which means that a person of prominent status should not stay in a dangerous place. ”

Chu Shiji laughed and said: "It is precisely this meaning, the river has not been unsealed, the Jun family's boat is parked at the estuary, the spies have found out, and the people in Jiangning have bypassed the river and headed east, but I am afraid that they will flee along the river to the estuary." ”

Yan Lang said: "Let them escape back to Jiangning with Xu Ruyu?" ”

Chu Shiji said: "Jiangning and Youji are separated by more than 1,000 miles from the East China Sea and Qingzhou counties, so they can't hinder us for the time being. Among those people are Mei Yingxue and Wei Yan, I can't get out, no one in the army can assassinate Xu Ruyu in front of these two people, not to mention that there are other masters hidden in that group of people, if you send cavalry, it will not be possible to send less, send more, disperse the troops, I am afraid that it will ruin this place. After that, his resolute gaze stopped on Chu Shixiuyan's face, Chu Shiji knew what happened in the mountains and wilderness of the Northern Tang Dynasty, if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been too lazy to explain so much to Yan Lang.

Chu Shixiu coughed lightly and said: "Yan Lao, if Xu Ruyu insists on escaping, no one in the world can keep him, and the humiliation of the Northern Tang Dynasty should be left to me when the Hulan Iron Cavalry attacks Jiangning City." ”

Chu Shiji said with a smile: "Xiuyan, you have 10,000 elite soldiers in Yulin City in the middle road, you can order them to be transferred to the south road, maybe Xu Ruyu and the others may not leave Youji at that time." ”

Master Chu smiled and said: "The soldiers and horses of my Yulin City only listen to the dispatch of the Khan, if the second brother is transferred, he will talk to the Khan King." ”

Chu Shiji's face sank, but he quickly recovered. Xu Ruyu looked at it in his eyes and secretly thought: There is intrigue between Chu Shimi's five sons, and Chu Shixiu's Yulin Army is either neutral or on Chu Shize's side.

After a while, on the long street, Helian Zhang pulled Xu Ruyu and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, I'll take you to see it." ”

Xu Ruyu was slightly stunned, only to hear a few heart-rending screams from outside the door, and instantly understood that the Hulan soldiers were looting the city.

Helian Zhang smiled, half-pulled and half-grabbed Xu Ruyu out of the door, called a few of his subordinates, and walked to the street. In addition to the official road connecting the north gate, the official road connecting the other three city gates of the official office is blocked by bricks and stones, probably because the general of the communist city learned that the Hulan iron cavalry was attacking, and prepared to defend the city to prevent the cavalry from rushing into the city. Leaving the northern city alone is to prepare to receive the ambush troops who should be at Mengmen Pass back to the city. Unexpectedly, Chu Shiji still used the rebels to enter the city through the north gate, and the blocked streets prevented the defenders in the city from fleeing. Only the defenders at the three gates abandoned the tower and fled out of the city, but they were still pursued by the Hulan Iron Cavalry in the field.

Due to the obstruction of bricks and stones, Chu Shiji entered the city from the north gate to occupy the official office, annihilated the main force of the defenders in the city, and did not send troops to take over other places.

Several groups of cavalry galloped into the city from the north gate, and when they passed the official office, they jumped off their horses and galloped from the houses, passing unimpeded. The people in the house knew that the city had changed greatly, and they were frightened until dawn, and at this time they listened to the pedestrian house, and couldn't help but go to the street to visit.

Xu Ruyu was reluctant to follow Helianzhang to the house, staggered over the pile of bricks and stones, and sighed: Where is Chu Shiji searching for remnants, but arson as bandits? When the Hulan soldiers entered the house, they shouted to offer treasures, and when they went out of the house, they were wrapped around their waists, and they were satisfied, so they let go of the family, and those who entered the poor households only heard the sound of knives and cut them, and there were sounds of begging for their lives.

Xu Ruyu crawled among the rocks and broken bricks, walking very slowly, Helian Zhang was very impatient, took off the armor of his upper body, and threw the sword to Xu Ruyu, and said: "You put on my armor, take my saber, and you will be fine in the city." He also ordered the two people on the left and right to follow Xu Ruyu's side, and swept into the distance.

Walking less than a hundred steps, there was a public * person on the long street, Xu Ruyu kicked the man to the ground, the man pulled out the blade, but saw that it was a flag-mounted general, his face was stagnant, put away the blade and left. Xu Ruyu glanced at the young woman hiding on the street, her clothes had been torn, revealing her snow-white breasts, her eyes were closed, and her face was bloodless, as if the soldier had stunned her before committing violence.

Xu Ruyu pulled off the placket of her shirt with the scabbard and covered her chest.

Turning a street corner, four men surrounded a woman, who was desperately unable to comply, one put a plank under her, two held her hands, nailed them to the board with spikes through their palms, and one cast silver under her.

Xu Ruyu flashed a few golden lights in front of him at first glance, a breath of anger rose in his chest, he pulled out a long blade, and stabbed it from the back of the man, the blood rushed to his face, and he suddenly came to his senses, and swung the knife to cut the other three people, but he was holding the two people on his side. Xu Ruyu threw the knife on the ground, made a sonorous sound, stepped forward, kicked over the dead body that was still lying on the body of the * woman, spitted, and scolded: "If the Hulan people are like this, they won't be able to conquer Youji in a hundred years, and they still want to map the Central Plains?" ”

Helian Zhang walked out of the street corner, walked in front of the three people, slapped the face of the man in the middle, and scolded: "Take care of the bird in your crotch." ”

Xu Ruyu looked at Helianzhang and said, "Helianzhang, you take me back to the big tent, if Gongzi Ji can't restrain his subordinates, I will invite you to go." I heard that Gongzi Ze is strict in governing the army, since he is working for Hulan, I still go to the middle route army. ”

Helian Zhang smiled and said, "Mr. Li is not used to seeing it, how can I not indulge in the city when my Hulan boy captures the city?" This trip is pressed for time, and the army will march to Anyang. ”

"Do you know that young and beautiful women are treasured for heaven, and if you don't collect treasures, how can you let these reckless men spoil them?" Xu Ruyu turned around angrily and said, "If you can't persuade Gongzi Ji to strictly prohibit his subordinates*, I should invite you to the Middle Route Army." ”

Helian Zhang smiled secretly, and said secretly: The belly is the same color, and it is so sanctimonious, what the army points to, who can never get the * thing? didn't stop it, just followed behind Xu Ruyu. The masonry pile was steeper in the direction of the city gate, and Xu Ruyu fell several times, his nose and face were swollen, his body was scratched in several places, and the blood stained a piece. At this time, the people in the city knew that the thieves were washing the city and crowded the streets to escape from the city. There are heavy guards in the north city, close is a salvo of arrows and crossbows, and many other places are blocked by bricks and stones, refugees have to jump into the water, everyone is crowded in the water, can not swim away, the group hugs and sinks straight to the water, there are countless people who do not know the surname of the water in the middle, the Hulan warriors with strong crossbows and strong bows stand on the roof and laugh, if there is a run on the road, they shoot with a longbow.

The road was blocked, Xu Ruyu turned around and walked towards an alley without bricks and stones. Seeing dozens of Hulan soldiers in front, one person wearing a Youji civilian uniform led the way in front. Xu Ruyu looked at Helian Zhang and asked, "The Khan court also has a detailed work here. ”

Helian Zhang said: "That person is not. When I entered the city last night, there was a bright boil in the city to guide my army into the city. Taking advantage of the catastrophe and making a fool of the tiger, Xu Ruyu sighed and was silent. Turning another street corner, I saw dozens of people wearing Youji people's clothes and chasing one person with a sharp blade in their hands, and they were chased by the person who was chasing him headlong into Xu Ruyu's arms, Xu Ruyu was taken aback, took a step back, and raised his eyes to see a pair of frightened eyes like a small beast.

Helian Zhang grabbed the man, looked up and down, wiped a piece of the stain on the man's face with his sleeve, and said, "Good Peugeot Nizi." ”

Dozens of people chased after him, and when they saw Helian Zhang and others, one of them knelt on the ground and said, "Grass people Xu Yuanji, meet Lord Helian." He pointed to the man in Helian Zhang's hand and said, "This girl is not weak, so she let the little one be drugged before she caught it, and she was about to send it to Lord Helian." ”
