Chapter 104: Raid on the Nine Gates

(Thank you Dameng and Zhao Wuxian 2014, leisurely love, thank you!) )

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was nearly dusk, and there were sentinels at the north gate of Jiumen County one after another to return to the city. The guard of the north gate was very puzzled, at this time in the past, groups of men and horses had already returned to the city to rest, urging the next group to replace the night patrol, but more than half of the hour today, only less than twenty horsemen returned.

"Nothing should happen, right?" The Tu Ge Shou will stand on the city wall, looking north, and muttering to himself. Thinking about it, it feels ridiculous, the battle in Quyang is in full swing right now, how can the Yuan army have the spare strength to look north, and the enemy camp in Xiyang Pavilion is also being stared at...... Take 10,000 steps back and say, at least sixty or seventy sentry cavalry have not returned, these sentry cavalry are in a group of five people, a team of ten people, there are nearly ten groups of men and horses, how can they be silently wiped out?

"It's coming, it's coming, and another batch is back, and this group has the most people." There were soldiers beside him shouting.

Tu Ge Shou raised his head, and sure enough, under the setting sun, a group of Hu horses with a long oblique shadow galloped over, with more than 20 horses, all bowing their heads, and the men and horses were tired. After a full day of patrolling, even if I didn't encounter a single enemy, I couldn't help but be tired.

This group of horsemen came to the city, leaned on the moat of the horse, raised their heads and waved their hands, and shouted to open the door.

"Why did you come back so late?" The guard probe asked loudly.

"Steal a deal." The leader of the Hu rode a thumbs up and nodded back, and there was a van there.

There was a knowing laughter in the city, and someone shouted: "Why don't you rob a few little ladies by the way?" ”

The Hu people under the city laughed and said, "Who said there was no robbery?" After serving a dozen of our brothers for a round, only the breath was out but not in, and it was thrown into the woods over there, do you want to try it? Hurry up if you want to try, I can't guarantee if it's too late. ”

There was another burst of laughter at the top of the city, and in the midst of laughter, the drawbridge crashed down. The gates were wide open. The Hu man who answered raised his hand and waved his hand and entered first.

The guard looked at the sentry riders entering the city one by one under the city, his smile slowly calmed down, he reached out and rubbed his chin and freshly cut his beard, and a pair of messy thick eyebrows gradually wrinkled, as if he felt that something was wrong, what was wrong?

The more the guard thought about it, the more frustrated he became, and he glanced up at the gatehouse, wanting to ask for instructions, but hesitated slightly. After thinking about it, he turned his head to the soldier beside him and said, "Let's go, go down and have a look." ”

The guard led more than ten soldiers to stand in front of the inner city gate from the road, looking at the deep and dim city gate cave, the patrol team approached at a light gallop.

Jiumen is only a lower county, and there is no urn city, so it didn't take much effort to slaughter Hu Hu to seize the city at the beginning. At this time, the guard stood in front of the inner city gate and shouted, "Throw the number plate over." ”

The number plate is equivalent to the nameplate, and it is the identity mark of every Tu Gehu soldier. Although it is only a wooden card and is crudely made, the mutual certification of the human card is enough to prove the identity. Of course. This has to be recognized by someone who knows it well.

A buzzing laugh echoed through the dimly lit tunnel: "Okay, go on." ”

When something is thrown, the guard catches it and takes a step back. Looking at the light, it is indeed a number plate, and the card is engraved with several straight or curved lines. The Huns did not have a written word. Tu Gehu also did not know Chinese, and they still used the ancient method of carving wood (knotted rope) to keep records. Generally speaking, this kind of simple wooden record number plate with symbols is too crude to say that it has any practical significance, unless it is recognized. And this keeper just happened to recognize the owner of this number.

"Tooth dethroned? Are you back? Why didn't I see you? The guard's messy thick eyebrows first frowned, and then raised high. This tooth is in the same account as him, he is a ten-man chief, and he is quite brave, but he can't ride and shoot, and he is fat, irritable and sweaty...... Hey! Perspire?

The guard's face changed, and he finally remembered that something was wrong - how could it be that on a hot day, this group of exhausted patrolmen were all wearing hats and hats, and none of them showed the top of their heads.

"Wait, don't go into the city yet......"

As soon as the guard raised his hand to stop it, a very stiff Xiongnu voice came from inside the tunnel: "Take this number plate again." ”

The sound fell, a black line flashed, and the guard fell to the ground with a scream, a sharply trembling arrow stuck in his throat. The last thought on the guard's mind when he was dying was: If it was this archer who had been answered, in this half-baked Hun language, how would I let him enter the city?

Of course, Tai Shici couldn't have imagined that this guard, who was killed by him with one arrow, would be entangled in his accent when he was dying. He rushed into the inner city with only the fastest speed, and the strings kept turning and popping, and the guards of the city gate lay down.

Two strong winds blew left and right, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were like beasts out of the cage, the last to come first, Xiantai Shi Ci rushed out of the inner city in one step, two big knives flew up and down, and cut down the seven or eight Hu people who hurriedly ran down the city gate. Immediately behind him was twenty wolf fangs flying horse, the horse was as fast as the wind, and he shot when he saw people, and the north gate was up and down, and his ears were full of thrilling arrows breaking through the air and whistling.

As soon as Tai Shici rushed into the inner city, he immediately hung his bow on the bridle, jumped off the war horse, pulled out two halberds weighing 20 catties each from his back, and rushed along the narrow troop transport passage to the north gate. The Hu soldiers in the city drew their swords one after another to refuse. Tai Shi Ci dialed a halberd in front, the Hu Bing's blade lock hook deflected, and the other halberd stabbed horizontally, every time he took a step up, a person would fall, ten steps forward, and the corpses were already lying in wait on the troop transport road.

Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao watched from behind, both surprised and admired. Originally, he was only considered to be a veteran who followed the city guard earlier, so he was able to hold the important position of riding Sima, far above the position of the two military marquis. Now it seems that this white and pure young man is more fierce than them when he goes to the battlefield, and his skills are far above them, and he seems to be chasing Zhao Zilong.

Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were excited, unwilling to lag behind, one left and one right, and Tai Shici formed a zigzag shape, completely blocking the transportation road. The twin halberds and double knives stirred all over the flesh and blood, and the corners and walls were red.

In less than a moment and a half, most of the 50 or 60 slaughterers at the north gate have been slaughtered, and the rest are either looking for hiding in all directions, or jumping off the city wall to escape.

Tai Shi Ci had already climbed to the top of the city, turned towards the gatehouse, and rushed to the flagpole next to the building. A fat bearded man suddenly rushed out of the gatehouse, holding an iron hammer (similar to an iron hammer), and slammed Tai Shici's head. Tai Shi Ci reacted very quickly, waved the halberd to block, the halberd rod slipped, locked and twisted, and the iron was picked up.

Hu Ren's weapon was taken off, and he immediately crashed headlong into Tai Shici, and he fell with a waist. Knock him down. Although Tai Shici fell to the ground, he did not panic, and without waiting for Hu Ren to free up his hand to choke his throat, he raised his knee against Hu Ren's chest, and poked his face with a halberd-tail iron iron with his backhand. Hu Ren was poked to the point that his skin was torn open, and his blood was splattered and fractured, but he ignored it, and let out a beast-like scream in his throat, holding down Tai Shici to the death.

At this moment, Tai Shi Ci seemed to see a man in Chinese clothes coming out of the gatehouse, and he didn't seem to be very old. But he was extremely agile, running along the city wall to the northwest corner.

Obviously, this is a Tu Ge noble, and this Hu man who is entangled with himself is his subordinate, with such a brave servant, the identity of this escaped Tu Ge nobleman should not be low.

Tai Shi Ci didn't think twice, and threw the halberd out of his hand at the fleeing Hu man. The moment the short court took off his hand, the Hu man who was pressed on his body with his arm was slammed, and his direction was suddenly off. The halberd flew past the ears of the fleeing Hu man. The tip of the crescent moon rubbed the ground, scraped off half of the earlobe, and nailed it to the wooden pillar of the flagpole, coincidentally piercing the thick rope. Hu Qi fell suddenly. The nobleman covered his ears with one hand, and fled over the wall without turning his head.

The landing of Hu Qi was the signal for the attack.

Immediately after the distant hills, a group of men and horses rushed out, and there were more than 200 horses. The leader is Zhao Yun. The iron cavalry rolled, the sound of killing shook the sky, and rushed to the north city of Jiumen.

Although Tai Shici lost a halberd. But he was able to free his hand, his five fingers were like hooks, pinched Hu Han's jaw full of messy beards and pushed it up, and the other hand crossed the halberd, aiming at Hu Han's thick neck and slashing, poof! The hot blood sprayed Tai Shici's face......

The occupation of the north gate indicates that the nine gates have been broken, and the Tu Gehu people are good at galloping in the field, but the city street fighting is not their forte. Tai Shici, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao led dozens of righteous servants to clean the city walls.

Zhao Yun led more than 100 Wubao volunteers and wolf-tooth flying horsemen into the city, pushing all the way, unstoppable, and the Hu people who hurriedly met the battle were crushed at the touch of a touch, and fled in all directions. However, in a moment, it has been killed to the Jiumen County Official Temple, which is where the county government is located, and the Tu Gehu people also set up their base camp here, and it is said that there are many chiefs of the Ministry of Tents, including the Zuoxian King of the Southern Xiongnu who live here. But at present, the two armies of Quyang are fighting in full swing, and I think that the Xiongnu Zuoxian King will go to the front line, so he is not here.

Zhao Yun took the lead and rushed to the front of the official temple, but when he saw that the gate was closed, there was no one left and right, and he heard the men and women shouting in the temple, which seemed to be a chaos. At that moment, the man stood up, and the bowl-sized horse's hooves slammed heavily on the vermilion lacquer gate, and under the heavy pressure of half the horse's body, the two gates collapsed. In the smoke and dust, a ride as fast as the wind, speeding past Zhao Yun, rushed into the official temple first.

"Be careful!" Zhao Yun was afraid that his niece would lose, so he rode in quickly, and the spear in his hand flew through, piercing the chest of Hu Ren who rushed out with a swing of an axe.

Zhao Yingzi opened his bow left and right, fired three arrows in succession, and shot three Hu people. Then he jumped off his horse, drew his sword, held it in both hands, and hurried up the stairs of the hall with one kick...... Then, Zhao Yun heard her screaming in anger.

Zhao Yun had already seen from the open door that the hall was full of many corpses, all of them were defenseless female corpses, from the gurgling blood and a pair of gradually dimming eyes, it could be seen that they had just been killed, it was expected that the Tu Gehu people knew that they were invincible, and they fled in a hurry, but they killed all the women who were captured and humiliated but could be taken away.

Zhao Yun's temples jumped suddenly, and the nine gates also belonged to Changshan, which was a bloody debt owed by Hu Nu to Changshan.

At this time, Wubao Yiyong had rushed into the official temple. Zhao Yun pulled back his spear and gritted his teeth: "Search all over this place, see Hu will be killed." ”

Everyone has also seen the tragic situation in the hall, and they all gritted their teeth and hated it, and at the moment they were in a group of five, in front of the hall and behind the house, searching and killing in all directions. And because the hall was full of female corpses, it could only be handed over to Zhao Yingzi to deal with.

Zhao Yingzi burst into tears, looked over one by one, only to see that there were still survivors, who were checking, and turned around: "Who is there?" Come out! ”

A young man about her age came out from behind the door, his hands shaking wildly and looking terrified. The boy was very strong and handsome, except that half of his earlobe had been shaved off, and blood soaked his shoulder. But seeing that he was wrapped in a black scarf and dressed in a short straight dress, he was Han.

Zhao Yingzi slowly put down the knife: "Are you ...... The little guy who was caught by the Hu people. ”

The young man nodded again and again, covered his ears, looked bitter, stretched out his hand and pointed at the knife in Zhao Yingzi's hand, then pulled the hem of his clothes, and then pointed to his ears.

Zhao Yingzi understood what he meant, and borrowed the knife in her hand to cut off a piece of clothing and wrap the ear wound. Zhao Yingzi nodded, slowly poked the knife over, and rested it on the young man's straightened clothes, and the young man grinned gratefully.

Zhao Yingzi was about to cut it off, when suddenly a faint voice came from behind him: "Kill him...... He is the left ...... of the Huns"

Zhao Yingzi turned around in surprise, but saw that it was a seriously injured woman who was not dead - at this moment, the knife in her hand was tight, as if someone was holding down, and then she was hit hard by a fist on the head, and the sky spun around, and she fell backwards.

After the young man grabbed the knife, his poor face suddenly turned sharp, and he was about to stab Zhao Yingzi with his knife, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the door, and it seemed that a large number of reinforcements had arrived. After hesitating for a moment, he threw the knife, shrunk his shoulders and back, and ran out of the hall with his body bent.

Zhao Yingzi came to her senses after a while, slowly propped herself up, picked up the ring knife, and looked ashamed and indignant.

At this time, I heard my uncle's voice sounding at the bottom of the stairs: "Yingzi, pay more attention to a fourteen or fifteen-year-old Hun boy, and immediately capture him when you see him." ”

Zhao Yingzi was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Who is that young man?" ”

"Liu Bao, the king of the Huns."

"Ah...... This bastard! ”

"What?"

"It's okay...... There is also a woman here who still has a breath, who will take the ......" (to be continued......
