Text Chapter 150 An Amazing Arrow
The five princes made up their minds this time to hit with one blow and take the ghost king's army to ask their father for credit, so as soon as the marquis of Cao left, he immediately mobilized the army, and the Cao family army connected with the Wangcheng defenders who originally guarded the city, a total of 200,000, all of them poured out of the nest to kill the ghost king's military camp.
Originally, the army of 200,000 was extremely advantageous in numbers, but the five princes obviously did not take into account the terrain, and the terrain outside Wangcheng was narrow and long, which was not suitable for so many people to fight, and the more people there were, the more they could not be used. People crowded all the way, but less than half of them played a role on the battlefield.
The ghost king army is led by General Gao to lead 100,000 troops to the battlefield, but they have much more skills, the first to play is 10,000 archers, shooting at the Yuxue army, the Yuxue army's forward army can not retreat, there is no way to avoid it, and the losses are heavy, and when the Yuxue army is close, the first to go is the spear and the Aegisman, the two groups of people and horses cooperate with each other, the formation is rigorous, and the Yuxue army can suffer a lot.
By the time the Yuxue Army really rushed up to disrupt the formation of the Ghost King Army, the 200,000 army had lost no less than 50,000, and the numerical advantage had been lost.
When he really arrived on the battlefield, the fifth prince felt that his previous thoughts were wrong, and it was very easy to see Cao Hou Ye commanding the battle, but he was really confused when he came on the field. The Ghost King Army, who usually looks ordinary, seems to exude a cold and bloody aura, all of them are like Hades who want to ask for their lives, and they will hurt people when they shoot, even if one person is surrounded by three or five Yuxue soldiers, he is not afraid. The gray Yuxue army in front of him kept falling, but there were more and more black figures, and the fifth prince felt that things were not good, and he no longer had the confidence that he had at the beginning.
On the lookout at the rear of the battlefield, Yun Yuhong looked at the battlefield with a clever ghost and a general Wu, and far away at the edge of the battlefield, two men in brocade clothes were on horseback and guarded by guards, looking noble and extraordinary, presumably with a different identity.
The clever ghost asked, "Which of those two people is Hou Ye Cao?"
General Wu said in a deep voice: "This time it is the five princes of Yuxue who are leading the troops to besiege here and Lord Shangshuwu of the military department, looking at the posture of the Yuxue army, I am afraid that they will lead the troops this time, and Hou Ye Cao will not be so undisciplined." Don't look at them not very well with troops, but they are the beloved son and favorite minister of Yuxue Kingdom, it would be good if they could take down the two of them. ”
The clever ghost looked at it carefully and shook his head with some regret. It's too far, and the guards around those two people are very good at kung fu, and her archery skills are not good enough to be superb. Seeing her shake her head, although General Wu was a little regretful, he was not very disappointed, if it was so easy to kill the commander of the enemy army, the battle would not be so difficult.
"Aiko? Favorites? Yun Yuhong said lightly: "I can kill them." ”
"What?!" General Wu was startled, and turned to look at Yun Yuhong suddenly, "Ghost King, you said you... You're going to..."
Yun Yuhong pursed her lips and smiled, reached out and took the bow and arrow in the hand of the soldier on the side, and said, "That's right, I'm going to kill them."
The fifth prince wanted to withdraw a little, the situation on the battlefield was not very good, the Yuxue army had been pressed back by the ghost king army, but as soon as he turned around, a black shadow roared with a thunderous momentum. All the people on the battlefield heard the whistling, and there was silence, and their eyes couldn't help but look at the black shadow. The Five Princes saw the black shadow approaching but seemed to be unable to move, so they could only watch it penetrate their bodies, and then a sharp pain struck, and the Five Princes' bodies fell forward. Everyone else could see that this was an arrow, an arrow as fast as lightning, which passed through the chest of the fifth prince and did not stop, and then shot into the throat of Lord Wu. The fifth prince glanced at his chest before he fell, but Master Wu fell down without even having a chance to take a look.
The ghost king killed two people with one arrow, and the guards with strong martial arts around him didn't even have a chance to react, what an amazing arrow.
The Yuxue Army was immediately in chaos, the main general was dead, the Hou Ye was not there, how could they fight, they couldn't win, and immediately many people called out, "The fifth prince is dead, run!" But the Ghost King's army was greatly boosted and rushed towards Wangcheng.
General Gao, who saw this scene with his own eyes, slapped his thigh, the ghost king is too powerful, if the ghost king also goes to the battlefield, then it will be a matter of minutes to destroy these Jade Snow Army. Several children also saw the earth-shattering arrow and cheered, and the eldest prince shouted directly: "Above, take Wangcheng in one fell swoop today!" ”
Yun Yuhong calmly handed back the bow and arrow in his hand to the soldiers beside him under the stunned eyes of everyone, still looking down calmly.
"The ghost king is good at archery!" General Wu, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but praise. The arrow just now, even the sharpshooter in the army may not dare to say that it can be shot, and the ghost king is the ghost king.
Yun Yuhong smiled indifferently and said: "General Wu has passed the award, these children rushed to the front again, I don't know what the situation is in Wangcheng, whether Cao Hou will have any arrangements, and ask the general to bring someone to escort it, and if there is a problem, withdraw immediately." ”
General Wu answered yes and went down and led his troops to kill him.
Hou Ye Cao, who was nagged by Yun Yuhong, was helpless, he wanted to find someone to defend the city, but when he asked the people who stayed, there were only two or three thousand, and as soon as he stood on the city tower, the soldiers below were shouting "The fifth prince is dead", he only felt that his head was buzzing, and many Yuxue troops retreated to open the city gate to come in, but many ghost king troops also chased after him. How did he open this gate?
Marquis Cao didn't feel embarrassed for long, and the army of the ghost king arrived at the city. Except for some of the Yuxue troops who were locked outside the city gates, some of them fled when they saw that the situation was not good, and most of them surrendered when they saw that there was no way out. General Gao cleared the obstacle and directly ordered the siege of the city, how could the two thousand soldiers hold it, and the city gate opened after a while, and the Marquis Cao saw that the general trend had gone, and sighed: "It's not a battle!" And he jumped down from the tower.
Cao Houye's actions startled General Gao, but he didn't know how to move. But a figure suddenly rose in the crowd, and came to the city tower as fast as lightning, just catching Cao Houye. The stingy ghost smiled at Hou Ye Cao, who had his eyes closed: "Hou Ye is loyal, but he must also follow his master, otherwise it will not be worth dying." I will ask my master to enlighten and enlighten the Hou Ye. ”
Cao Hou Ye opened his eyes at this time, and smiled at the stingy ghost, and just wanted to say something, but was handed over to the ghost king soldier by the stingy ghost.
On this day, the Ghost King Army defeated another 200,000 Yuxue Army and captured Wangcheng, which was close to the capital of Yuxue Kingdom.
Marquis Jiang was ordered to intercept the Ghost King Army coming down from the Ghost King Mountain and the surrendered Licheng defenders. But when he met this army, he suddenly found that something was wrong, there were only 100,000 horses here, and they were all the defenders of the original Li City. Where did the 100,000 ghost king army go, Jiang Houye suddenly had a not very good feeling.
In front of the two armies, a heroic young man who was less than thirty years old walked out of the camp of the defenders of the original Licheng. Marquis Jiang was very sure that he was not the guard of Licheng, but a person he didn't know, and he couldn't help but have a look of hesitation on his face.
This person came to Marquis Jiang with a smile and arched his hand: "Marquis Jiang, I have admired the name for a long time, I am a general under the ghost throne, and my name is Wu Xun." I've been waiting here for a long time. ”
Marquis Jiang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "The other 100,000 ghost king troops have already passed." ”
Wu Xun said with a smile: "If there is no accident, the soldiers should have come to the city of Qiongcheng." ”
"General Wu specially waited for me, but what do you have to say?"
Wu Xun said loudly: "Yuxue is defeated, Hou Ye knows in his heart that I am here to ask Hou Ye to submit to the ghost king." ”
"Why do you think Benhou will descend?"
"Hou Ye is a flesh and blood person, and Hou Ye is a person who knows right from wrong." Wu Xun looked at the generals and soldiers behind Marquis Jiang and said, "What do you think of the officials of the Yuxue Imperial Court in your heart?" Before leaving, how many of you saw if their families were okay? Have you all heard about what happened near Hutou Mountain, are there people from Lijia Village, Erli Village, and Hexi Village here? I tell you, your homes are gone, and they are now all flat. Your family members are dead and scattered, and many of them have gone to Hutou Mountain, but now that General Jiang has led his troops to quell the rebellion, it is hard to say whether he can live or not. ”
Some soldiers in the Jiang family's army looked excited and squeezed forward, Wu Xun looked at Jiang Houye and said with a smile: "Jiang Houye can distinguish right from wrong, you look at these soldiers, they enlisted in the army, they can endure all hardships, and they are fighting with their lives, what is it for, not to ask for food and clothing for their parents, wives and children, but now what have they got, can Jiang Houye still bear to let them work hard for such a court under such circumstances?" ”
"That's just the practice of some corrupt officials, the emperor will definitely send someone to punish them, and give them justice, you don't have to stir up trouble here." Jiang Houye knew that what Wu Xun said was the truth, and he also knew what the ghost king was thinking, but he knew that he had no way not to jump into this trap, this is a yang conspiracy, above board, everyone understands, but it is also impossible to refute.
Wu Xun still smiled and said: "Marquis Jiang's idea is good, but what guarantee do you take?" Your own family is still in Qiongcheng, and I heard that it is protected by the Ouchi Forbidden Army. By the way, your second son is still by the side of the ghost king. ”
Many people exclaimed, it turned out that Marquis Jiang's own situation was already very difficult, and the emperor's approach was too chilling.
Jiang Houye said: "It's useless to say anything, I won't let you pass." ”
Wu Xun nodded and said, "Okay, I won't embarrass Master Hou, let's just go over." With the 100,000 ghost king army of the ghost king, it will not be a problem to take Qiongcheng, so let's chat with Hou Ye. ”
Jiang Houye was stunned again, yes, the goal of these people is not to go in the past, but to drag themselves, they will advance if they retreat, and they will retreat if they retreat, unless they kill all these people, but although these people are down, they are also jade snowmen, and they are also forced to rebel. Will he be able to kill him? Gang Wu Xun's words have shaken the hearts of the army, at least many people are dissatisfied, and they have some sympathy and sympathy for these Licheng soldiers, can they still kill people?
