Chapter 676: Raiding the Pass and Capturing the City (3) (Ask for Collection, Recommendation, Subscription)
Hou Dayong was so anxious that he couldn't get the upper hand, he threw away the spear in his hand in a rage, snatched the knife of a soldier next to him, and slashed at Xia Zhongnan like a mad tiger.
Mu Yunying wound up, opened the bow, swished, and shot an arrow at Hou Dayong, and Hou Dayong's life should not be extinguished, just at this time Xia Zhongnan slashed with a knife, he shrank his neck, and the arrow shot away his helmet with a bang, but he himself was not even injured by a single oilskin, but by this fright, his hand slowed down, Xia Zhongnan quickly seized this rare opportunity and slightly reversed the disadvantage.
Mu Yunying snorted, reached out to touch the arrow again, but touched a void, when she looked down, there was no one left of the dozens of arrows that had been lined up on the ground before, with a long roar, Mu Yunying pulled out her waist knife, holding a knife in her right hand and a dagger in her left hand, like a swallow swept down from the top of the city tower, and went down the steps to kill the general, when she ran down the steps, dozens of Tianqiguan soldiers on the steps had fallen in a pool of blood. And her body was also stained with blood, but she couldn't tell whose blood it was.
Hou Dayong slashed violently, forcing Xia Zhongnan to retreat step by step, and when he was stumbling left and right, a long knife suddenly stretched out from one side, and blocked Hou Dayong's fierce attack with a bang, and completely took Hou Dayong's momentum.
"Xia Zhongnan, I'll come, you go and block the others," Mu Yunying said.
"Lord Mu be careful"
Xia Zhongnan jumped to the side, slashed back, and cut down a soldier who was sneaking up next to him, only then did he take a breath, looking at Hou Dayong who was wearing a cloak, he couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, as the saying goes, those who are afraid of the horizontal, and those who are afraid of the horizontal, are really true.
Hou Dayong and Mu Yunying fought a few times, and his heart sank completely, although the opponent was a woman, but the high level of kung fu was really rare, even if he was completely defeated, the other party was still able to block it with ease, with Mu Yunying in front of him, his soldiers were killed by the big man who had just fought with him at this time.
The shouting in his ears sounded like thunder, countless torches reflected the north city gate, the sound of horses' hooves was close at hand, Hou Dayong looked at the north city gate a few steps away, but it was as far away as the end of the world, it was too late, it was too late He shouted in his heart, go immediately, if you don't go, you will die here.
With a certain thought, with a false sword, Hou Dayong turned around and left, and when he turned around, the guards who accompanied him turned around him and ran away with him.
"Kill"
Outside the city, Yan Rui jumped on the horse with a gun, and rushed across the suspension bridge and rushed into the north gate.
Tianqi Pass was lost.
Hou Dayong panicked like a lost dog, anxious like a fish that slipped through the net, only led more than 100 personal soldiers, took the road away, abandoned Tianqi Pass, went straight from Nantou, behind him, there are still thousands of defenders in the pass, lost their command, made a mess, some of them lifted their spirits and threw themselves into the defense battle, some abandoned their swords and guns, took off their military uniforms, and stood against the wall, and even more took the opportunity to make trouble, ran into the homes of the people in the city, burned, killed and looted, wantonly evil, at this time, the personnel of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Blood Red Demon Queen also set fire everywhere in the city, creating chaos, Tianqi Pass, which has been peaceful for a long time, fell into a catastrophe, and the cries everywhere shook the sky.
Yan Rui, who entered the city, had no time to take care of this, and after leading the cavalry into the city, he immediately divided the troops in accordance with the strategy drawn up in advance, controlled all the key points in the city, took over the city defense, occupied the yamen, warehouses, and controlled the main roads, Yan Rui led the main force to approach the barracks in the city, and directly blocked a large number of soldiers in the barracks Although the camp gate was closed, the soldiers of Tianqiguan who had no leader looked at the cavalry gathered more and more outside the camp in horror, and they didn't know what to do. Several commanders gathered together and formed a temporary command structure to discuss how to face the immediate crisis, which was actually nothing more than two paths, surrender or die in battle.
It is more hopeful to expect this thin camp gate and wooden fence to block the wolf-like Taidang County cavalry, than to expect the sow to go up the tree. Yan Rui had more than 2,000 mobile troops available at this time, half of the troops were used to control the city defense and various important institutions, and hundreds of cavalry followed Xia Zhongnan of the blood-red demon queen to chase the fleeing Hou Dayong, and at this time, in the military camp opposite him, there were still more than 4,000 Tianqi Pass defenders, if these soldiers were brave enough to fight, for a while, Yan Rui was really not sure to take them.
In fact, this is Yan Rui's overestimation of the Tianqi Pass defenders, and he also underestimated the combat power of his Yan family's cavalry, one of the main reasons for this is that Yan Rui has seen a lot of Taidang County's infantry in Taidang County, how to deal with the barbarian iron cavalry with ease, the cavalry to deal with the infantry in dense formations, there are not many ways, especially when the infantry is well equipped, and in the city breaking battle just now, Yan Rui found that the armor of the Tianqi Pass infantry is really not bad.
Even if the Tianqi Pass garrison is a cut worse than the Taidang County Army, their cavalry is not as fierce as the barbarians! From this incident, it can also be seen that the difference between the two brothers Yan Rui and Su Jun in terms of personality, although Yan Rui, who grew up in the greenhouse, has grown up a lot in the past few years, but he always thinks more about objective situations such as difficulties when encountering problems, while Su Jun, who has been weathered for a long time, thinks more about how much benefit he can get, if the benefits are big enough, then it is worth paying a certain sacrifice.
Yan Rui didn't think about it for long, and the matter was solved unexpectedly, because the defenders of Tianqi Pass had no intention of fighting at all, but after a short period of consideration, the defenders of Tianqi Pass decided to surrender, and a commander named Xiao Rengui came to see Yan Rui on behalf of the soldiers in the camp and expressed their intentions.
"Yan Junhou!"
Through mutual reporting to their families, Xiao Rengui already knew that the cavalry general of Taidang County in front of him was actually the cousin of Su Zhongqing, the boss of Taidang County.
"Privately detaining the grain and grass of Taidang County is all the idea of my Hou Junhou, we don't know, and Taidang County and my Taihe County have always been well water does not violate the river water, we have always admired the Taidang County Army who fought bloodily on the border to protect the family and defend the country, the matter has come to this, it is useless to say more, our Taihe County Army does not want to meet with your soldiers, therefore, we decided to stop resisting, so as not to bloodshed senselessly on both sides, in order to show our sincerity, we are willing to lay down our arms and obey the supervision of your army, Until the high-level leaders of Taidang County and Taihe County made a decision on this matter, we had only one request, that is, to ask your army to guarantee the safety of our soldiers, respect the dignity of our soldiers and soldiers, and not to plunder the property of our soldiers. ”
Xiao Rengui's words were extremely beautiful, although it was a surrender, but when he said it in his mouth, it was extremely high-sounding, and the righteousness was extremely awe-inspiring, and he looked like he was selfless and thought about both families.
