Chapter 358: Attacking the Black Clouds
Hearing this, Gu Yinqi almost didn't fall on his head, and almost didn't react. "Oh my mother, Uncle Wang, you don't recognize me?" he felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart. Hurriedly turned to face Wang Jingxuan, covering his mouth and nose with the bloody sleeve of his right hand, as if his face was injured. His left hand pointed to an alley and said in a sullen voice, "Go over there." ”
Wang Jingxuan, who was anxious and just wanted to end the battle in Fuhua County at once, really failed to recognize Gu Yinqi. Believing it, he took a few cavalrymen with him, turned around and hurried away. After repeated investigations, he and Zhao Qinghai sent people to determine the location of the enemy's command center, thus planning the raid.
One of the main purposes of the operation was to capture all the leaders of the Northern Alliance army and end the defensive battle of Fuhua County in one fell swoop. And this operation was indeed a great success, quickly penetrating into the enemy's control area in the confusion, and capturing a group of high-ranking generals, including Liu Rang. But only Gu Yinqi was not caught.
The commandos had to quickly withdraw from the royal compound and return to the security zone firmly controlled by the forces of the Blue Dragon Kingdom.
Although Huangfu Song was very entangled, he still had to attack hard. After all, the war is going on anyway. He reorganized the rest of his troops, dismounted the light cavalry and heavy cavalry, and assisted the infantry in the siege of the city, leaving only the Blue Fire Wolf Cavalry Army on standby as a mobile force.
A team of about 200,000 people, divided into five groups, approached the Mingyang Fort defense line, which was already a sea of corpses and a sea of blood. The vanguard, supported by bows and arrows, began to attack the city with ladders.
The warm morning sun shone on the stone city wall, which was full of green smoke and was damaged, adding a rare ruddy warmth and peaceful atmosphere.
What is strange is that the siege of the vanguard team was unusually smooth, and there were no figures on the city that were frantically resisting the Qinglong Kingdom border guards all the time. The entire line of defense seemed very quiet, so quiet that it revealed a bewildering eerieness.
More and more people climbed the city wall in a noisy, and the vanguard sent a battle report: "Our army has completely occupied the defense line of the castle, and the enemy has quietly fled far away, and there is no trace of it. Our army is now actively searching for the remnants of the enemy on the defense line of the castle, and reorganizing the troops, hoping for further instructions from the Imperial Marshal. ”
Huangfu Song, who received the battle report, was escorted by his own soldiers and climbed the tower in confusion. The city tower was also full of corpses, full of gloomy, but most of the corpses of the officers and soldiers of Black Cloud City had been transported away and buried, leaving only the corpses of countless Xuanwu National Army. This kind of sight will give the officers and soldiers who have just climbed the tower a shocking illusion, as if the enemy has suffered few losses, while our army has suffered heavy casualties.
Leaning on the railing to look into the Black Cloud City, in addition to the dense jungle and undulating mountains on the left, there is an endless plain in front of you, and a flat river. At the end of the horizon, you can faintly see the castle tower of the capital of Black Cloud City, waiting for the arrival of the conqueror like a horizontal girl.
But Huangfu Song was not very impulsive. He had heard that two years ago, the officers and soldiers of the Northern Alliance had also inexplicably suddenly discovered that the defense line of the castle was empty.
So they attacked in a big way, and not far from his feet, 50,000 elite Haw Par officers and soldiers were completely annihilated in a very short time.
But now it seems that there will be no ambush at all. "Where is this little rabbit cub surnamed Luo hiding? What the hell is he trying to do?" Huangfu Song was puzzled, did he hide in those mountains and forests to the east?
In any case, I still have nearly 300,000 troops in my hands, what am I afraid of him for? What can he do to me? After so many days of fierce fighting, how many soldiers does he have left?
Doesn't he just have a team of Flying Tigers? Huangfu Song thought to himself, "Is there only a few thousand people left in the so-called Flying Tiger Team?"
The strength of the Flying Tigers is certainly strong, but after all, there are not many of them. I'm afraid of what you're going to do? It's not thousands of invulnerable gods. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have a smug smile on his face: Boy, you will set up an ambush, and the old man will set an ambush for you. I'm not going to look for you, I'm going to let you come to me, haha!
"Bring the horses in, the cavalry army and the green fire wolf army quickly advance and surround Xuanyang City. The infantry also had to keep up as soon as possible. Huangfu Song, who had made up his mind, looked very relaxed, his face had a slight look, and the tone of his order became short and sonorous.
The strength of the crowd was great, and the gates were soon opened, and the roads inside and outside were cleared. The Blue Fire Wolf Cavalry Army opened the way first, and roared all the way to the south. Light cavalry and hoplites followed, stamping the entire line dusty and smoky. The infantrymen who followed behind complained bitterly.
In the early morning of the next day, the army had completed the complete encirclement of Xuanyang City. Huangfu Song looked at the roof of the city tower, the battle flags were flying, the drums were beating, and the swords and spears that reflected the sun were reflected in the countless heads of the surging people, reflecting the dazzling light from time to time.
Xin said, it seems that they are very well prepared! How can they fight with such high morale? If there is another 10-day battle here, how many people will I be able to bring back to China in the end?
If only the Northern Union scumbags could come as soon as possible. He thought so.
In his mind, he still looked down on the army of the Northern Alliance, and he didn't realize that the army he led had nothing to brag about in the battles of the past few days.
The siege of the city is not the first priority, the trouble now is, I don't know if Luo Ming's kid is hiding in the city, or is he hiding in some dark corner, with his Flying Tigers, waiting for the opportunity to stab me in the back? No matter what, now I have to set up a game for this kid, seduce him into his pocket, and let him throw himself into the net.
He immediately ordered a luxurious and huge Chinese army tent to be set up in a more conspicuous place.
There were many traps and deep ditches around the big tent, and all of them were bought with sharp bamboo sticks and even sharp iron hooks with barbs. The surrounding barracks were littered with flammable materials such as oil jugs, wine bottles, and dried firewood.
Huangfu Song checked the layout here and nodded with great satisfaction, "Boy, the old man has everything ready, just waiting for you to be a guest." He ordered some of the soldiers to put on his clothes and those of some other high-ranking generals, and to hang around the tent every day. He himself put on the clothes of an ordinary soldier and looked around repeatedly until he was satisfied.
