Chapter 202 Battle
The striker was on his way, and quietly left Yunwu City at night, and then rode away in the dust, Xia Yi led the rest of the soldiers and horses, and followed with the county captain.
The county governor is also surnamed Chen, and he is Chen Yi's nephew, who is in his thirties. However, it seems that it is not only based on relationships that he has sat in this position, and Chen Duwei is also a strong man of the five grades of martial arts.
At this time, the county governor was still under the control of the county governor's forces, so the county commander also had to go to the valley with Xia Yi to facilitate the handover of military affairs.
The two rode in front, Xia Yi was wearing red armor, and under his crotch was a war horse with horns, in comparison, Chen Duwei and Xia Yi were wearing the same armor, but the mount was a grade worse.
One is a scale, and the other is a horn scale.
After all, Xia Yi is a lieutenant of the regular army and an officer of the Sima rank, while Chen Duwei is only an officer of the local reserve force. The two are not comparable.
"Duwei Chen, I have just arrived, although I learned some outlines of Jincheng from Fuzun's mouth, but Duwei Chen is often on the front line, and he should know more about the Qiang barbarians stationed in Longqi and Mucheng Valley, but he doesn't know how the Qiang barbarians in these two cities are? How's the deployment?" Facing the whirring wind, Xia Yi's voice was loud.
The 4,500 troops behind him, like a red cloud, formed one, followed Xia Yi, roaring and crushing past.
Chen Yi, as a county guard, is not on the front line, he knows the general situation, but he doesn't know the details. Only Chen Duwei is the person who knows Qiang Barbarian best.
This night attack, together with Chen Duwei, happened to have a detailed understanding of the Qiang Cha of Longqi and Muchenggu from his mouth.
Chen Duwei's voice was also loud, and he replied when he heard it: "Although the three cities of Longqi are the military strongholds of Jincheng, the scale is not large. After all, the number of troops belonging to the Western Governor was there, and the city was too large to defend. Therefore, among the two cities of Longqi and Muchenggu, there are not many troops stationed. Combined, these two cities were garrisoned by about 10,000 barbarians from the royal court. ”
"Ten thousand. Xia Yi groaned, raised his eyes to look at the night in the distance, and said, "It's not much."
Chen Duwei said: "Xia Duwei must not underestimate the barbarians of these two cities!" His face was solemn: "It was burned by the royal court, and it was an elite soldier!" Among them, there are countless strong people, if it weren't for the fact that I was afraid of the power of the imperial dynasty and didn't dare to be too presumptuous, I want to keep writing the valley, I'm afraid it's just a delusion!"
"Oh? ! " Xia Yi's eyes narrowed slightly: "Elite soldiers? How to crack the soldiers?!"
"Although the Qiang barbarians have no imperial training method, it is not easy to form a formation, and it seems to be a rabble. But the Qiang man comes from the mountains and forests, is wild and strong, and fights very crazy. In addition, it is from the Qiang Barbarian Royal Court, and there are countless martial arts masters above the second grade. Chen Duwei said in a deep voice: "The leader of the Qiang Barbarians in the Second City of Longqi, there are seven or eight six-rank powerhouses, and even I suspect that its real leader is the top master of the seven-rank innate realm!"
"Shhh
Xia Yi couldn't help but take a cool breath.
He didn't care how wild Qiang was and how wild he was. The Quartet is barbarian, and this is mostly the case. It seems that the war is crazy, but I don't see how they can do it to the regular army of the Imperial Dynasty. On the contrary, the regular counties of the imperial dynasty were able to completely suppress them.
What really makes Xia Yi feel tricky is the top master!
He thought to himself that he was able to kill the six-rank masters, after all, among Hu Yi such as Qiang Man and Beidi, it was difficult to form a system of martial arts, and there were few peerless exercises.
But when it comes to the seventh grade, it's different!
The seven grades are innate, opening up the twelve canons and the eight veins of the strange meridians, and refining the true qi into a higher quality of innate true qi. Between gestures, it can attract the power of heaven and earth, and it has great power.
Compared with the martial artists below the seven ranks, the innate realm is a watershed. Under the congenital level, Gu is an ant!
If he fights with a congenital powerhouse, Xia Yi thinks to himself that he may not be able to even make a move!
His face suddenly sank: "Now that my army is open, the arrow is on the string, and there is no reason to take it back!" Chen Duwei, why did you only inform Long Qi that there was an innate powerhouse at this time?!
When Chen Duwei heard this, his face was not very good-looking, but he said: "I haven't seen whether Long Qi has an innate powerhouse. But there are definitely innate strong people in the royal court. And the burning of the royal court is not far from Longqi.. It's my guess and can't be accurate so.
Xia Yi stroked the handle of the knife hanging on the saddle buckle and gritted his teeth: "Guess.. I'm going to have to bite the bullet now.
Military orders are like mountains, and it is most taboo to change the order at night. Just now Xia Yi ordered to attack the dragons, and the vanguard had already gone away, if he temporarily changed his words at this time and said that he would not fight, it would be a huge blow to the morale of the army, and it would also be a huge blow to the majesty he had established in the army.
It's hard to ride a tiger!
He doesn't want to fight with the innate strong, that is looking for death. But what can be done now? I can only grit my teeth and harden my head!
"I hope Captain Chen, your guess is wrong, otherwise..."
He glared at Chen Duwei fiercely and stopped talking.
But he looked back at the soldiers under his command - the conversation they had just made was loud and unconcealed, and the nearby soldiers and generals could hear it clearly.
But I saw that a pair of eyes were only staring at him, looking at him, without fear, without wavering, all of them were firm!
Only a few generals had solemn faces, but they were not afraid, they believed in their own commander, and believed in the powerful figure of the two sixth-grade enemy generals in the Western Regions, with the ability of the fifth grade!
Xia Yi couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Xia Zhen led five hundred scouts, galloped with Guan Yu all the way, and quickly approached the three cities of Longqi.
Both of them are from the Fenglong clan and are of the same clan, but they are usually in the army, but they don't have much communication. The key lies in Guan Yu himself. In Xia Zhen's opinion, Guan Yu is like a direct descendant of the main lineage, the same arrogance and annoyance.
Guan Yu didn't use his hot face to stick to people's cold butts, you ignore me, I don't pay attention to you.
But now it's a military priority, and although the two don't have a relationship, they won't be dirty with each other. Along the way, I also said a few words and narrowed the distance.
"The three cities of the dragon are in the direction of corners, Longqi is in the north, Mucheng Valley is in the west, and the valley is in the east, vaguely triangular, all in the Huangzhong Valley, can support each other. I'm waiting to go here, the Writing Valley is the closest, guarding the east of Huangzhong, and I must first pass through the Writing Valley before I can reach Longqi. I intend to lead a group of men and horses to go first, to write the valley, and the ward to write the valley soldiers and defenders, to remove obstacles, so that our army can drive straight in, how about the Xia army? Guan Yu asked.
When Xia Zhen heard this, she pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "Okay, please ask the customs department to go first." "Thank you!
Guan Yu Zhengse nodded, divided a hundred troops, increased his speed, rolled up the smoke and dust, and walked towards the valley.
The main force of Xia Yi's department marched rapidly in the night, and arrived at the valley in the early morning.
Hearing that the forward Xia Zhen's department had already left the valley half an hour ago, running to the dragon, Xia Yi did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly said to Chen Duwei: "I still have to bother Chen Duwei to keep watch here, and when I return victoriously, I will hand over military affairs!"
Chen Duwei responded.
At that moment, he led his troops out of the valley, and along the traces left by the forward, he looked at the dragon and galloped.
As soon as he came out of the Writing Valley, there was a forward scout report: "Xia Zhen and Guan Yu will arrive near Longqi one after another." Xia Yi hurriedly said: "Pass my order and let the second general act when he has the opportunity." "Whoa!
However, it was said that Guan Yu took the lead in leading a hundred scouts to Longqi, and saw from a distance that the lights of Longqi City were lit up, and there were barbarian soldiers patrolling. Quietly approaching to take a closer look, he saw that the Qiang barbarian patrolmen in the city were actually roasting sheep at the head of the city, singing and dancing, which made Guan Yu angry and happy at the same time.
Angry that these barbarians had turned the Western Governor's garrison into a miasma, and they were glad that they were defenseless!
At that moment, Guan Yu wanted to lead the troops to raid, but he thought that the troops under his command were insufficient, and there were many barbarians in the city, so it would be difficult to make contributions even if they broke into the city, so he waited secretly, and while sending people to report to Xia Zhen, he asked people to explore around Long Qi.
Longqi is backed by a mountain cliff, only three city walls, and the valley outside the city is lush with vegetation, and there are also barbarian soldiers hiding in it. Guan Yu didn't check for a while, but he was known by the barbarian secret sentinel.
I only heard a sharp whistle rushing into the sky, and I saw that the barbarians at the head of the city were alert, and time was in chaos.
It's clear that you're used to living a good life, but once something happens, you will be flustered. Moreover, the Qiang barbarian soldiers had no discipline at all, and it was reasonable to be chaotic at the beginning.
Seeing this, Guan Yu was first angry, then happy, and then pity.
I was angry that I was negligent and forgot about the secret whistle. The good news is that the city is in a panic, and if it immediately attacks with troops, it will be crushed at the first touch. It's a pity that his troops are too small, so he can only watch the panicked Qiang people in the city being suppressed by the generals and losing the opportunity.
"Now that my whereabouts have been exposed, it is better to be above board, and go to provoke!
As soon as his mind turned, he immediately made up his mind.
At that moment, he led the troops to ride, drilled out of the grass and jungle, and came to the city of Longqi.
Under the light of the fire or the Wuyang lantern, the Qiang man at the head of the city saw the Han army in red armor that suddenly appeared under the city, and immediately became nervous, and shot a rain of arrows in a mess. However, the hundreds of people in Guan Yu's department were still outside the range, and they all did useless work.
Guan Yu grabbed the reins and stopped a stone's throw away.
He looked at the head of Longqi City, and saw that the city wall was as high as twenty zhang, stretching and lying on its back, like a dragon. Under the faint light of the fire, he carefully looked at the carvings of the martial array on the front of the city wall, and saw that there was no light flickering, and he knew that Qiang Manshi could not control the martial array, so he rode alone, dragged the knife forward, and shouted: "Wait for the thief!" Can you recognize the Han general Guan Yu?! The army of our emperor is behind you, if you know each other, quickly open the city gate and go out of the city to surrender, otherwise as soon as the army arrives, you will be taught that the chicken and dog will not be left!"
"A pawn of the Han people!"
At the head of the city, there was a well-known Qiang barbarian leader, who saw the origin of the hundreds of people under the city, compared with the county soldiers, the spirit was completely different, and he knew that it was the regular army of the Han Dynasty that arrived, and he couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart.
Since the decline of the imperial dynasty and the fierce fighting between the two countries, the imperial dynasty has no time to scruple such small roles as Qiang barbarians, so they have gradually embezzled and encroached on the interests of the imperial dynasty and suppressed the local government for several years. The benefits of eating into the stomach made these barbarians happy, but they were also secretly afraid.
The prestige of the Han Dynasty, spread all over the world, is declining day by day, and it is far from being able to compete with the Qiang barbarians. Dragons are old, but they are still dragons.
In fact, these Qiang barbarians have always been scared, afraid that the emperor would send troops to suppress them, but after a long time, they let them selectively forget, and they thought they were at ease as if they were covering their ears and stealing bells.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the emperor's heavenly soldiers suddenly arrived!
"Could it be the new Western Lieutenant?!" Someone reacted: "As early as January ago, I learned that the regular Han army withdrawn from the Western Regions was going to be stationed here to rebuild the Western Governor's Mansion!"
"What if it's not?" Someone asked rhetorically: "Our actions have really violated the majesty of the Han people, in case the Han emperor sends a large army to come this time, under one blow, I will burn the department in danger!"
Before the head barbarian general could settle down, Guan Yu shouted again: "The head of the city, don't you hurry up and surrender?" !"
"How is it good!?"
The Qiang general headed by the head of the city couldn't help but pull his hair loosely: "Do you want to go out of the city and surrender?" !"
"Never! Where did I spit out what I ate when I burned it?!" Someone shouted: "Neither can the Han people!" Ministry rate, give the order, kill all these Han people!
"Yes, kill them all!"
"If the Han people take away Long Qi, the salt pond will not be protected!"
"Once the royal court blames us, where are our heads? !
The head of the barbarian general gritted his teeth fiercely and clenched his fists: "Release the arrow, shoot that Han general!"
ordered the rain of arrows to rain like locusts, only shining on Guan Yu's location, covering his head and face, and shooting over like a torrential rain. For a while, the fire at the head of the city and the moonlight in the sky were all covered!
Guan Yu knew that it was impossible for Qiang Barbarians to surrender, so he was on guard, but he was still startled when he saw this, and hurriedly rode around, riding one person and one horse, and jumped out of the rain of arrows.
"Qiang thief! How dare you do that?!"
Guan Yu pointed at the head of the city with a knife and shouted angrily: "Guan Yu is here, Er's barbarian general, shameless, dare to go out of the city to fight with me?" !
Guan Yu pulled up the tiger skin to make a big banner, and wanted to make the illusion that the imperial army was coming, and first suppressed the Qiang barbarians, so that they did not dare to act rashly, so as to delay time and wait for the arrival of the follow-up army.
Seeing that he couldn't suppress Qiang Man, he thought about it again, and gave birth to the idea of a fighting general.
If you can drag on for a while, you can fight with the barbarian generals for dozens of rounds, and it is expected that the follow-up army should arrive!
Hearing Guan Yu's provocation, and seeing Guan Yu coming out of the arrow rain cover, the city head barbarian couldn't help waving his big hand with thick hair like a bear's paw to stop the arrow rain.
"Han will fight, who will go down to the city with me and take his head!"
A barbarian general, you look at me, I look at you, and no one has gone down to the city for a while!
The Han people have always been strong, and there are countless generals in the army who are advanced in martial arts, and the surrounding barbarians have suffered a lot. Now that it is far away, it is night, and Guan Yu has not yet exerted his momentum, so that the city head barbarians do not know the depth of Guan Yu, and they are a little hesitant.
Seeing this, the barbarian general at the head turned black, and couldn't help scolding: "Where is my burning bravery?" !"
Only then did a general speak: "Ministry rate, I'll go."
At first glance, the barbarian general looked at it, but he was one of the best martial arts masters under his command, with a six-grade level, and when he could kill the Han general, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Okay, you take 500 people down, wait to kill the Han generals, and then kill the handful of Han soldiers!"
Under the city, Guan Yu fought again and again, and after a while, he heard a creaking sound, and saw a barbarian general leading a Qiang soldier to rush out of the city gate.
Guan Yu's hand holding the knife couldn't help but tighten, and his narrow eyes narrowed almost completely into slits!
The barbarian will wear his hair on the left, holding a mace, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, and the nails are densely covered, which can be described as a murder weapon, scratch it, and the skin, flesh and bones will fall apart!
Straddle down rode a black panther, slender and strong, with a long tail sweeping back and forth, like an iron whip!
Behind him, there were about 500 Qiang soldiers, a mess, weapons and armor of different types, some with axes, some with guns, some with knives, some with shields, a gang of rabble!
"Han General Guan Yu? !my name..
"Hugh has to say more, Er's barbarian thief is cheap, and he defiles my ears!
Before the words fell, Guan Yu rode and stabbed his head, and he had reached the top of the general's head!
This knife, the blue light flashed, and the true qi on the blade was swallowed, as if it was entangled with a green dragon, and there was a faint sound of dragon groaning!
"Drink!
The barbarian general only felt that the pressure dropped suddenly, as if Mount Tai was pressing the top, his neck was cold, his face couldn't help but change wildly, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly rose up bravely, stirred up the true qi, and blocked the mace in his hand to the top door!
There was a loud bang, and the barbarian took the people to ride, and he stumbled!
However, before he could recover his breath, Guan Yu's second knife suddenly came again!
This knife, the knife qi is even stronger, the war knife has not yet fallen, and the ground has already been plowed out by the knife qi A trace has been plowed! With a knife cut, the white horse passed through the gap, and with a loud bang, the barbarian general had already cracked his mouth, his body was sore, and his head was dizzy!
"This is the time!"
Guan Yu laughed loudly, the third knife had already been cut out!
With a pop, a head rose into the sky, with a foul of blood, and fell into the dust!
On the skull, a pair of eyes were not yet blinded.
Guan Yu rode and collected the knife, his eyes burned, he laughed, and raised his beard to look at the city: "Qiang thief, Guan's knife, is it good!" ?
At this time, the city is already silent!
Both the enemy and the enemy have been dumbfounded. I felt that in the blink of an eye, the knife was overheaded, and the dust had settled, which made people dizzy, and there was no reaction at all for a while!
When Guan Yu spoke, the five hundred barbarian soldiers under the city screamed in surprise and dispersed in a hurry!
The face of the barbarian general at the head of the city is like the bottom of a pot, and the black ones can hardly see their faces. He couldn't believe that the strongest man under his command couldn't defeat the enemy's three swords!
Behind him, all the barbarians sucked in the cold air!
"Could it be... Could it be that this Han general is a congenital master?!" Someone has a chatter of teeth.
"It's not a congenital master.. If it's innate, you can't go through a single move!" The barbarian generals gritted their teeth: "This person must be a high-level Han general, with an extraordinary background, and his killing moves are really powerful!"
"That rate, now.
Looking at Guan Yu, who was still fighting under the city, more than a dozen barbarian generals in the city were scratching their heads.
If you fight, the lessons of the past are in front of you. If you shouldn't fight, wouldn't you let the Han generals underestimate it? !
"Ministry rate, it's better for me to wait and rush up, I don't believe I can't kill this person!" It was suggested. "Rushing up?" The ministry was entangled: "This is a fighting general, how can you rush up?"
He glanced sideways at the generals and soldiers under his command, and when he saw that everyone around him was looking at him, he couldn't help gritting his teeth and said resolutely: "The headquarters will personally go down to the city to fight with you!"
Hearing the surrounding barbarian generals exhale in unison, his face couldn't help but get darker, but he paused again, and said, "Wait with me to go down to the city and press for me!"
After that, regardless of the look of the barbarian general, he carried the door panel and the big axe, and went down to the city.
Guan Yu saw it clearly under the city, and when he saw that all the barbarians in the city disappeared together, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, could it be that these barbarians were going to rush up? !
So he slowly rode back a few steps, and turned around to look at the nearly 100 soldiers under his command.
If you can't beat it, run!
Xia Zhen was anxious, seeing that Long Qi was in sight.
While scolding in his heart, he only said that Guan Yu was reckless, only a hundred people, he dared to rush to the city, in case something happened, Guan Yu's death was small, and the one who couldn't take the dragon was a big deal!
But rushed through the dense forest, and before he got close, he felt two extremely strong momentum coming from the surface, followed by the sound of the endless exchange of gold and iron!
Xia Zhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. I guess it's supposed to be a fighter!
Rushing out of the dense forest, I saw that nearly 100 scouts on our side were in front of the formation, and in the distance under the city, two figures, riding and staggering, were fighting, and the powerful strength and fierce true qi stirred up gusts of qi, as if the wind was sweeping, and no one could stand within a radius of more than ten zhang.
Xia Zhen's face was solemn, and after carefully looking at the situation in the field for a while, she saw a corpse separated from the ground in the distance, so she hurriedly led the troops, stepped forward, and joined the nearly 100 scouts brought by Guan Yu, while learning about the situation from the soldiers.
"You mean, the Sekibe slashed the enemy general three times before?" Xia Zhen couldn't help but say, "What grade?!"
"It seems to be six grades."
