Chapter 12: A Hundred Men Take the City

Xu Ruyu and the others were about to ride their horses away, and the handsome flag of Zhu Kunda was erected on the east gate tower of Lanling, and the city gate slowly opened, and the sound of the roulette wheel twisting could be clearly heard from four or five hundred steps.

Xu Ruyu was slightly surprised, and stopped in the distance, looking at the cave at the city gate, his eyes were deep and distant.

Several columns of soldiers wearing brown rhino leather armor and holding halberds rushed out, crossed the Chenghao stone bridge, and formed a formation with Chenghao on their backs.

Fan Che silently calculated Taiyi (Taiyi, the art of military art) in his heart, and instantly counted a total of 3,000 soldiers from Lanling City. Since the war in Yuejun, the Zhu clan has expanded its armaments, but the miscellaneous soldiers are all wearing black uniforms, and the armor soldiers wearing leather armor and holding halberds should be the elite divisions that have been following Zhu Kunda.

Immediately, more than 100 cavalry galloped out of the city and scattered in front of the array. At present, a green fire spirit armor is draped in a dark red mantle, and the tiger beast helmet covers most of a cold and ruthless face, and a cold light shoots out from his eyes, and in the twilight, it flashes like electric light.

What does Kunda mean by this? Fan Che was a little puzzled.

The Qingfeng riders cruising nearby gathered around, and more than 100 elite riders guarded the periphery.

Xu Ruyu pursed his lips, pointed to the city gate, and said: "My army is in the future, but Zhu Kunda is behind the city, what does it mean?" Didn't you want me to wait for the gray to leave, and he laughed twice before they finished their own lives? ”

Everyone will laugh without laughing, Xu Ruyu laughed coldly: "Back to the city to form a formation, soldiers use death, I wish Kunda is really courageous!" The tone was full of disdain, and suddenly his expression was solemn, his body was lightly frustrated, and he couldn't stand the force when he stepped off the war horse, and the kicker stood up, with a long hiss, like thunder, and kicked his back foot, jumped out, and crossed to the front of the riding formation.

Xu Ruyu lifted the reins to stop the horse's momentum, turned slightly sideways, and gave everyone an indifferent and solemn side, the lonely and empty eyes in the twilight gradually became fanatical, flamboyant and decisive, people and horses were one, and in an instant, they were integrated with the cold heaven and earth, and Qingyue's voice seemed to be sent to everyone's ears through countless time and space: "Covering the army and killing generals, trapping the enemy formation, thousands of people fighting, ten thousand people fighting together." ”

The southeast male lord will tolerate the lonely side of the trapped city.

Zhu Kunda's rude behavior aroused Xu Ruyu's empty anger.

The fanatical momentum that permeated from a person's body burned like a raging fire, burning the blood-devouring wild surnames in everyone's blood.

Hundreds of elite horsemen looked at the huge and friendless figure like the god of war, all of them were full of blood, took out their sabers, and struck the chest protection steel mirror with the spine of the knife, and the mountain shouted "Cover the army and kill the generals, trap the enemy formation, thousands of people fight, and ten thousand people are all blades." The terrifying sound hit the deep twilight.

Fan Che was terrified: Xu Ruyu is going to charge the battle with three hundred horsemen.

Wei Yan let out a long roar, galloped to Xu Ruyu's left and right with Peng Muqiu, took out a saber from his arms, and handed it over: "Sir, use a knife." ”

Zhang Zhongdao's expression was awe-inspiring, his spirit was instantaneous, he took off the halberd on the side of the horse with a short body, and lay in front of the horse, and his momentum came out spontaneously.

Xu Ruyu raised his knife in front of him, and his voice was resolute: "Trapped." "Immediately galloped out, like a cold and blood-devouring magic blade, a faint shadow swept through the heavy twilight.

Zhang Zhongdao, Wei Yan, and Peng Muqiu followed, and the three hundred elite horsemen shot out like random arrows, the initial formation was scattered, and the momentum was frenzied, and when they reached fifty steps in front of the enemy formation, the three hundred elite horsemen were already like one person, and the momentum of the strong and domineering was absolutely overwhelming, so that Fan Che, who was hundreds of steps away, was also hindered.

In the thick of the twilight, Wu Ran spat out an electric cocoon the size of an iron fist, struck several lightning bolts, and landed on the city, the bricks and stones cracked, and several charred corpses rolled down; In the city, a lightning bolt split the hundred-year-old tree in half, and the fallen stumps actually burst into flames again.

The defenders of Lanling were horrified, looking back at the burning old trees, but the scorching heat extinguished the overwhelming killing momentum in an instant.

It's not a battle, it's a massacre.

The three hundred elite horsemen broke into the three thousand Lanling troops in the back city, like a spring gushing out of the mouth, gushing out and tearing apart the enemy formation.

"I wish Kunda, the road is exhausted, why don't you descend?"

Qing Yue's voice hit everyone's ear drums like layers of waves, and came sharply.

A longitudinal horse to block, the lance comes, Xu Ruyu knife grid lance head, sideways pass, close to the eleventh style, hit the handle, shock down, spin the horse sideways, the knife out of the arms, kill the enemy.

Zhang Zhongdao's long halberd is fierce, with the horse to break into the enemy formation, a halberd pierced into the neck of the horse blocking the way, the force obliquely picked, the enemy will even the horse fly backwards together, the halberd out horizontally, a blow ten swings, such as the waves split, when invincible. Wei Yan snatched it out from the side, the knife in his hand fell like thunder, and he saw a stream of hot blood spurting out of his neck rushing away from the head with a frightened expression.

Zhu Kunda was frightened, slowly retreated, and three hundred elite horsemen rushed into the Lanling army formation, and the wind swept into the clouds.

The canopy of the dark sky, the gray clouds are rolling.

On the high slope of the gentle slope, Shao Haitang, Fang Su, and Zhao Jingyun looked at the noisy battlefield under the city, with a wry smile on their faces.

Fan Che's face turned pale, and he stood on the spot, his lips tightly closed, and he was silent.

In the distance, two more columns of elite horsemen heard the news and killed.

Forty breaths, Xu Ruyu, Zhang Zhongdao, and Wei Yan penetrated the enemy formation and rushed to the front of the Chenghao Stone Bridge.

Xu Ruyu waved his knife and shouted: "Abandon the weapon and lie on the ground, don't kill." The sound was like thunder, and it shook people's hearts.

Swing the knife again, and burst out a cloud of snowy light, shining throughout the twilight.

The three hundred horsemen shouted in unison: "Abandon your weapons and don't kill them." "The roar of thunder is full of fighting spirit.

Wei Yan's eyes widened, his left hand saber flew out, nailed a person to the half-covered iron-clad city gate, jumped off the horse, picked up a seven-foot three-pointed blade long-handled Mo knife, rushed forward and slashed, left and right, and the three people in front of him were torn bones.

Wei Yan shouted in a dull voice like a broken urn: "The left armor soldier dismounts and attacks on foot." ”

Hearing this, the hundred Qingfeng horsemen dismounted, raised their swords and shouted, and followed Wei Yan into the city gate.

Xu Ruyu's eyes opened and closed, like thunder, and shouted: "Zhongdao goes to the city, Mu Qiu enters the city." Then he jumped up and jumped up to the tower.

The defenders of the city tower have made the sudden thunderstorm and the loud battle under the city so terrifying that they have lost their fighting spirit, and more than 100 defenders were shocked on the spot, only to hear a loud shout in their ears: "Abandon your weapons and don't kill them." "Those who are a little slower to react have already landed on the ground.

The two kicked several crossbow machines, fought out of the city tower, jumped off the city wall, and Wei Yan led the men to defeat the defenders of the city gate, and ten people resisted the heavy city gate and stretched the half-cover to both sides. The knights hissed and poured in from the city gates.

Zhu Kunda was riding his horse and fled, and Xu Ruyu threw the knife.

I wish Kunda a slight heart, instinctively flirting with the back frame of the sword, cutting off the flying head, but the broken knife is castrated, hitting its flank, wishing Kunda to plant the horse.

Zhang Zhongdao raised his halberd to throw, Xu Ruyu stretched out his hand and said, "Leave him a surname for the time being." He picked up a short horse, turned over and rushed into the city on an empty horse, galloped into the city, rode like flying, and the people shouted on the horse: "I wish Kunda is dead, and those who descend will not be killed." ”

Zhang Zhongdao stopped a war horse galloping past him, followed closely behind, and galloped on the long street of Lanling.

In a moment, three hundred elite cavalry broke through the defense of the east gate of Lanling and entered the city, and the Qingfeng cavalry who heard the news then entered.

The defenders of Lanling were defeated, there were those who abandoned their weapons and surrendered to the ground, there were those who rushed out of the city gates and fled in the wilderness, the elite cavalry who roamed outside the city turned their knives and killed them, and the elite cavalry who gathered around them entered the Lanling city from the city gates.

An hour later, Yang Shang led two thousand elite infantry battalions to arrive first, and the Qingfeng cavalry had already controlled the overall situation in the city.

Yang Shangwang saw the situation in the city, his brows jumped, but he was very heartbroken, and took over the defense of Zhucheng in a muffled voice. When Feng Yuanyuan, Ziyang Yalan, Luo Boyuan and others led the troops to arrive, the night was already dark, but the sound of killing in the city gradually subsided, but there were still defenders in a few places who were stubbornly resisting.

Feng Yuanyuan and everyone were shocked when they saw the situation in the city, and when they saw Yang Shang ushering in, they asked, "What about my lord?" ”

Yang Shang said: "Your Excellency, Mr. Shao and others are all in the Lanling Governor's Mansion, let General Ziyang come over to temporarily take over the defense of Lanling." ”

Feng Yuanyuan smiled bitterly, and said to Ziyang Yalan and the others: "I'm waiting for me to discuss the siege of the city in the tent today, and the whole half of the Chenguang is dry, so why bother?" ”

Ziyang Yalan also smiled helplessly and said, "Mr. Shao was there, and he didn't stop the adults, presumably after returning to Jiangning, no one will complain about us." He asked Yang Shang again, "Your Excellency and the generals are okay, right?" ”

Yang Shang smiled and said, "General Wei has a cut on his face, and he is a little uglier, and everyone else is envious." ”

Ziyang Yalanjun's face was red, fortunately hidden in the helmet, speechless at the moment, all the generals rode their horses to the Lanling Governor's Mansion in the east of the city, and when they entered the mansion gate, they met Fan Wenlong and Yu Hang, who came in from the east gate.

Xu Ruyu's green robe was stained with blood, and he hadn't had time to change it, his face was still so calm and calm, as if the destruction of the city at dusk had nothing to do with him.

Zhao Jingyun led the people in the accounting books in the liquidation mansion, Xu Ruyu, Shao Haitang and Fang Su looked through the field books and field books, and Zhang Zhongdao and Wei Yan sat boredly on the side. Xu Ruyu saw Feng Yuanyuan, Fan Wenlong and others coming in, beckoned them to sit down, and said, "When he rushed into the city, he injured Zhu Kunda, but he forgot to tie him up, and now I don't know where he fled to?" ”

Shao Haitang said: "The outside of the city is controlled by the Qingfeng Cavalry, Zhu Kunda should still be in the city, wait a little longer." ”

Feng Yuanyuan asked, "What do you want to do with Zhu Kunda?" ”

Xu Ruyu glanced up at Feng Yuanyuan and said, "All parts of Yue County are attached, I have to ask him why he didn't surrender?" ”

Hearing Xu Ruyu say this, Feng Yuanyuan didn't say much. Xu Ruyu ordered Ziyang Yalan to take over the defense of Lanling, naturally he didn't want to see himself harm the government with personal vendettas, Zhu Lianzhi and Zhu Baiyan's father and son were all dead, and the Zhu clan fell apart, and the end was sad enough.

After talking about the mobilization of each battalion and military affairs, Feng Yuanyuan was about to lead everyone to retreat, Xu Ruyu said: "Take over the defense and search for the rout, just let them go, and stay here with Wenlong Yuan." ”

Fan Wenlong came over to greet Fan Che again.

In late September, Fan Zhan secretly arrived in Jiangning with Zi Yangqiu and joined Jiangning on behalf of the Fan clan. Xu Ruyu accepted Fan Che's conditions for surrender, and ordered Fan Wenlong and Ziyangqiu to secretly return to Yuhang with Fan Zhan, take over the position of the head of the Fan clan, and take over the military power assembled in Yuhang, Linxi and other places.

In late October, Xu Ruyu ordered in Jiangning that Fan Wenlong would lead the Yuhang army to surrender and attack Wuzhou and other places in the north, and the defense of Yuhang and other places would be taken over by the Fifth School Army that arrived later. Wuzhou and other places looked at the wind and surrendered, Yuhang surrendered the army and the five school army marched into various places, but did not encounter fierce resistance, but the Lanling occupied by Zhu Kunda never surrendered, and finally made all the armies gather in Lanling.

Fan Che came over with Zi Yangqiu, and wanted to surrender through his old friendship with Zhu Kunda, but unexpectedly, he only met in a hurry under Lanling City, and before he had a chance to speak, Xu Ruyu actually led three hundred cavalry to attack the city.

The cavalry attacked the city, except for the surprise attack, there was still little chance of success, but Fan Che did not expect that Xu Ruyu could attack Lanling City with only three hundred cavalry, and the other elite horsemen who heard the news were like blood-devouring flies, and captured Lanling City in one fell swoop.

Lanling City is 19 miles wide, there are eight city gates, the city is high and the wall is solid, there are more than 10,000 elite defenders, and there are more than 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers who have been forcibly recruited.

Fan Che pondered: If you lead the army to attack the city, you need 60,000 elite soldiers to be sure.

Feng Yuanyuan was very puzzled about the details of the siege, and pulled Wei Yan aside to ask for details. Wei Yan was drenched in joy, and was about to find someone to talk to, so naturally he didn't refuse him, and when it came to the intense place, Fan Wenlong couldn't help but look sideways.

Xu Ruyu raised his head and smiled: "I'm waiting for the parade to cross, Ben and Zhu Kunda have no obstacles." Zhu Kunda led three thousand elites out of the city to form a battle, wanting to humiliate us and others. In the face of a strong enemy, the battle against the water and the city can stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers and fight to the death; However, in the face of more than 200 horsemen such as us, we also have to learn from others to form a formation behind the city, but I just show my timidity, what morale is there at all? If you have this opportunity, how can you not take advantage of it? ”

The land of Yue County belongs to Jiangning, but its land is not willing to lie in wait, and Jiangning has many difficulties in carrying out its politics in Yue County. Even the hundreds of thousands of troops will give Jiang Ning a headache.

The news that Xu Ruyu captured Lanling with 300 horsemen will spread in a few days, and with the power of this battle, who else dares not to surrender in the land of Yuejun; Among the surrendered troops, who dares to have a repeating heart.

Fan Che looked at Xu Ruyu's calm side, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be difficult to imagine that the person in front of him would have such a domineering momentum when attacking the city.

Fan Che led the Fan clan to surrender, but due to the situation, he was really impressed at this time, and his gaze at Xu Ruyu softened a little.

Shao Haitang stood aside, took all the expressions on Fan Che's face into his eyes, and said secretly: Your surname is kind, compassionate, and natural, which can convince everyone; However, Fan Che has been trapped in the hegemony of deceit all his life, and in order to convince such a person, he needs very drastic means.
