Xiahou Shuojie is considered a civil and military all-rounder in Xiyue, but if his talent is placed in Yanling, I am afraid it will be much more ordinary, because the generals of Yanling are precisely the first to be wise and the martial arts to supplement. And Xiahou Shuojie still pays more attention to force.

This is why Xiahou Shuojie only suffered under Sima Hongyan and did not take advantage of the slightest.

Sima Hongyan and Dongning have the greatest grudge, and it stands to reason that Sima Hongyan will definitely attack Dongning first if he sends troops. Through a sober analysis, she realized that among the five countries, the best one to deal with was actually Western Vietnam.

If you start a war with Dongning, there will be no winner or a half or even longer, but the opponent is different from Xiyue, and it is still quite easy for Sima Hongyan to deal with these barbarian guys.

Now it turns out that Sima Hongyan is right. First, in the battle of Yanyue Pass, the elite soldiers of Xiyue were broken, and more than ten days later, they used the infiltration strategy of internal and external cooperation to open the unbroken city wall that Xiyue relied on, and used deception tactics to deceive several city passes along the way, and once again let the Yanling army come to the capital of Xiyue.

Both generations of the Sima family have led troops into the core of Western Vietnam, which is not a kind of irony for Western Vietnam!

Ban Lingruo listened to Sima Hongyan's explanation, and only had great admiration left. It turned out that the Yan Dynasty had been afraid of Xiyue for so long, and in Sima Hongyan's eyes, he was just a beast that could bite people, and as long as he used a little means, he would become vulnerable. It seems that the capture of Western Vietnam is really just around the corner!

However, when they arrived at the capital of Western Vietnam, they met resistance. Because the person responsible for guarding the capital is Xiahou Shuojie, it will not work under his banner this time.

But so what, if you can't deceive it, you can fight it! The walls of the capital are not as strong as those of the border cities.

The Yanling army that suddenly appeared in front of him startled Xiahou Shuojie, but he is now the last line of defense in Xiyue, and behind him is the palace of Xiyue.

This time, Xiahou Shuojie also learned to be obedient, and did not lead his troops out of the city to meet the battle, but hid in the city and set up an arrow array waiting for Sima Hongyan to attack the city. It's not that he doesn't dare to come out to fight, but the defenders of the capital are too few, even if they are elite soldiers, they are only 50,000, how dare they confront an army of 400,000?

He also learned from Sima Hongyan and prepared a large amount of fire oil, as long as the Yanling army attacked, he would set fire to the soldiers, and give Sima Hongyan a way to govern others.

Those are all tricks used by Sima Hongyan, how could he fall for Xiahou Shuojie. Sima Hongyan had the infantry use shields to form several shield arrays, and one shield array was composed of fifty infantry, and launched an attack on the gate of the capital in turn.

Xiyue's bow and arrows are very powerful, but they can't penetrate the shield arrays that are blocked by shields on all sides, and these shield arrays still attack one by one in turn, carrying out mobile tactics, Xiahou Shuojie always feels that it is a bit of a waste to set a fire just for these fifty soldiers.

What's more, these small formations come and go, like dragonflies dotting water, and they don't stop too much at the city gate at all, and they don't give the other party a chance to set fire. But this kind of attack is like tickling, Xiahou Shuojie feels that it is simply a joke.

When dozens of thick ropes were hung on the city gate, Xiahou Shuojie found out that he had unknowingly fallen for Sima Hongyan's evil again. The shields were not there to break the gates, but to hang iron hooks to the gates, and behind each hook was a long, strong rope.

Then Xiahou Shuojie saw that the enemies began to pull the rope in the distance like a tug-of-war.

The gates of the capital are not as thick and strong as the defensive gates, but more for the sake of style and beauty. Sima Hongyan asked the soldiers to hang the iron hooks in the gaps between the openings and junctions on both sides of the city gate, and the Yanling army was hundreds of thousands of people, and hundreds of strong men pulled the ropes together, and the strength of that force can be imagined.

The city gate was just riveted and nailed to the wall, and under such a huge pulling force, there was a "creaking" sound of metal twisting, and then there was a loud "bang", and the thick rivets were pulled out of shape.

The Yanling army was about to pull down the city gate, and they even tried their best to eat milk.

Xiahou Shuojie was mad and asked his subordinates to shoot arrows at the enemy, but the other party erected a shield wall, coupled with the long distance, the strength of the bow and arrow was also weak, and he couldn't hurt the other party at all.

So he changed his strategy, Xiahou Shuojie commanded the archers to shoot the arrows to break those long ropes, who knew that many bows and arrows hit the ropes, and even some feather arrows were left on the ropes when they shot through the ropes, but those ropes were extremely strong, and none of them were broken.

Seeing that the city gate was about to collapse, Xiahou Shuojie asked the soldiers to pour fire oil and burn the ropes. The oil was poured out, and the fire was lit, but the ropes were as strong as ever. Inadvertently, Xiahou Shuojie found that under the sunlight, those ropes were slightly reflective, and he realized that these ropes were kneaded with steel wires, no wonder they were so strong.

When he figured it out, there was a loud bang, and half of the city gate was broken and the rivets slammed on the ground.

Xiahou Shuojie shouted badly, hurriedly turned around and went down the city tower, beckoning the cavalry to mount and prepare to meet the battle.

Before I could set off, I heard a loud bang, and I thought that the other half of the door was also pulled down.

As soon as the city gate was broken, there was the palace inside, and even if he couldn't let the Yanling army enter the imperial city, Xiahou Shuojie slapped his horse and led the Xiyue elite cavalry to rush out of the city gate.

The Yanling soldiers who pulled to the city gate were still laughing and cheering at the moment, and suddenly saw the Western Vietnamese cavalry taking the initiative to attack, but they hadn't taken back their blades in their hands, so they turned around and ran away in fright.

Xiahou Shuojie turned around and shouted to an adjutant general: "Let's hold them down first, you quickly lead people to repair the city gate, be quick!" ”

The lieutenant behind him ordered the horse to turn his horse and go back.

Fortunately, he took the initiative to attack, and happened to attack the other party by surprise, Xiahou Shuojie secretly rejoiced, thinking that as long as the city gate was repaired, the enemy was delayed, and when the reinforcements arrived to attack back and forth, none of these Yanling people wanted to escape.

Seeing that he was about to catch up with the Yanling soldiers who were fleeing in front, Xiahou Shuojie suddenly sank down, and then fell forward.

At this moment, Xiahou Shuojie understood again, and couldn't help but scold: "Bastard! It's a stumbling block again. ”

One fell and then fell, either tripped over a rope or tripped over one of his own who had already fallen. As soon as Xiahou Shuojie fell to the ground, he was crushed by the people and horses who rolled over from behind.

For a while, people turned on their backs, wailing again and again. The Yanling soldiers who had fled in front of them suddenly split to both sides, and the neatly lined archers were revealed, and there was a sound of bowstrings, and arrows came towards them like flying locusts.

Pity those brave Western Vietnamese cavalry, who have become live targets for archers, and countless people have been shot down and killed. The people of Xiyue could never have imagined that this Yanling army was so numerous than them, and they would even deceive and deceive them.

The remaining Western Vietnamese cavalry saw that the main general did not know whether he was alive or dead, and his companions suffered heavy casualties, so they had no desire to fight, so they turned their horses and ran back. Suddenly, the cavalry on both wings of the Yanling army went out, chasing the fleeing Xiyue cavalry to the city gate.

The deputy general on the city wall saw that the Yanling cavalry and his own people were mixed together, and hesitated for a moment and did not let the arrows be released, but the Yanling cavalry took advantage of the situation to rush into the city gate. Then the Yanling infantry also rushed over with their shields held high, since the city gates were gone, it was no longer possible to stop the Yanling army, the deputy general panicked, decisively gave up the city, turned around and ran.

The Western Vietnamese soldiers who had no command suddenly turned into headless flies, and were blocked by the Yanling army on the city, and all died on the city wall after a fight.

Nan Guying led the cavalry all the way to the palace, and the wind was invincible everywhere he passed, and there were sparse Western Vietnamese soldiers to block them, and they were all killed by him one by one.

The vanguard army of Nan Guying was all elite soldiers, with extremely strong combat effectiveness, and they quickly killed in front of the palace. Ban Jingchong commanded a large army to surround the palace, and those who wanted to escape were all taken down, and those who resisted were killed.

Sima Hongyan led the female soldiers to follow behind the Nanguying Vanguard Army, and rushed straight to the palace.

Xiahou Yan couldn't believe it for a long time when he heard that the Yanling army had actually hit his own door in the capital, but the shouting and killing sound from outside was real, so frightened that he hurriedly convened the ministers to discuss countermeasures.

These days, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have been staying in the main hall, and when they heard that the Yanling army had arrived outside the city, they were all frightened and panicked, and their minds were confused, where else could they come up with any good way?

Just when a minister proposed to hurry up and move the rescue troops, the entire palace was already surrounded by the Yanling Army.

Although Xiahou Yan was irritable by nature, he was very timid, knowing that the imperial city was destroyed and the palace was besieged, he was already frightened and trembling all over, where is there still the domineering calmness of the emperor in the past!

Sima Hongyan came to the main hall of the Xiyue Imperial Palace, looked up, and found that although the main city hall of Xiyue was not as luxurious and rich as Yanling, it was also majestic and magnificent.

Nan Guying was waiting for her at the bottom of the steps, and Sima Hongyan glanced at Nan Guying and showed a bright smile. Nan Guying stepped forward, looked at the door of the main hall and said to Sima Hongyan: "The emperor of Xiyue is inside, go do what you want to do!" ”

Sima Hongyan asked, "What about you?" Don't you come with me? ”

Nan Guying glanced at the harem and said, "I still have things to deal with!" ”

Sima Hongyan nodded and slowly walked up the steps into the hall. Later, Ban Lingruo, Zhong Liying, Xiao Hongying, and the red-faced female army walked up behind her.

Looking at Sima Hongyan's back, Nan Guying secretly said to himself: I'm afraid the name of Xiyue is only today! The corners of Nan Guying's mouth curled slightly, and he led the troops to the harem.

Sima Hongyan walked very steadily, every step was very solemn, and the awe-inspiring kingly aura was proudly exposed, which made the sisters behind him look up.

Coming to the door of the main hall, Sima Hongyan stopped. The female soldiers behind him snatched out from both sides, and cautiously entered the hall with a sharp blade in hand, and Sima Hongyan then slowly stepped over the threshold and walked in.

Who knew that as soon as he entered the hall, it was empty and there was no one in sight, Sima Hongyan was stunned. Looking left and right, I saw more than a hundred and so minister-like people huddled in the corner, shivering.

This scene made Sima Hongyan not expect, how could this dignified Xiyue Imperial Court be so bad?

Seeing the disdain on the eldest sister's face, Xiao Hongying ran to the corner and dragged a minister over to Sima Hongyan. The minister thought that he was going to kill him, and he was even more afraid, so "Puff" knelt down and shouted for mercy.

"What about Xiahou Death?" Sima Hongyan asked softly, his voice crisp and soft, like a pearl falling on a jade plate.
