The north wind outside the city howled even louder. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Near a hill not far from Yongzhou, hundreds of elite cannibal cavalry were running back and forth, torches burning violently.

In a sheltered place on the hill, Cardiff, the prince of the Great Eclipse, was frowning at Yongzhou City in the darkness like a giant beast, and threw the branch in his hand on the ground with some irritation, and said hatefully: "This kind of fortress ...... How can it be breached?!"

Beside Cardiff, sitting was a middle-aged man with a clumsy face, it was Gu Xichao, the great priest on the temple, who glanced at the dark night and comforted: "This city has been built for hundreds of years one after another, and for so many years, unless the guards in the city rebelled, it really has never been captured......

Cardiff frowned and looked at Gu Xichao, as if he was considering the possible surname of the general who lured the Great Liang Guard to rebel, and said slowly for a long time: "If His Majesty the Pope is willing to make a move...... There must still be hope......"

Gu Xichao shook his head and explained: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, the family master has made an agreement with several other great grandmasters, and you can have a position, but you are not allowed to meddle in specific affairs...... Even those of us can't move around...... Otherwise, Fusang Mountain would have sent a group of killers to wash the blood of the government offices in various parts of Yongzhou......"

Seeing that Cardiff was a little impatient, he reluctantly added: "Your Highness, although the realm of the grandmaster is close to the gods, it is not truly invincible...... If you get caught in the middle of the battlefield, the Grandmaster can also fall. Like the grandmaster of Fusang Mountain, guarding a city by one person is already the limit of one's strength......"

Cardiff frowned, and knew that there was some truth in what Gu Xichao said, so he was silent and did not speak.

.................................... Cardiff and his party actually came in a hurry, and it was just a whim of Cardiff.

Many places in the Western Regions are deeply influenced by the culture of the Great Liang, for example, a small country in the Western Regions sandwiched between the Great Liang and the Grassland temporarily stationed by Cardiff, because it is far away from the hinterland of the Western Regions, it is bordered by the Hu people and the Great Liang, and the customs are nondescript.

Cardiff was playing in that small country, but he saw the people of the small country putting up lanterns and carrying lanterns to parade, and thought it was interesting.

At this time, the towns in Daliang will hold a huge and lively lantern festival, which is much more beautiful than in a small country.

In previous years, at this time, many people had to go to Yongzhou, the largest city in the northwest, to watch the lantern festival, and they would always get envious eyes after returning.

Even, this year, even if Yongzhou wants to start a war with Da Shi and Hu Ren, the lantern festival in Yongzhou will still be lit up!

Cardiff had just received the news of the failure of the Hu people to rob and kill the Liang Mission, and he was already very irritable, and he was even more uncomfortable when he heard these things, and his heart moved when he remembered the last time he led the army to demonstrate.

Last time, it could be said that Cardiff did not understand the situation's reckless move.

However, no one expected that due to the unexpected cooperation of the Yongzhou guards, Cardiff was fulfilled.

After what happened last time, Cardiff's popularity in the army simply doubled.

Even after all this time, it is something that Cardiff and the Great Eaters talk about.

Therefore, Cardiff temporarily decided to go to Yongzhou at night again, and he would definitely destroy the lantern festival of the Daliang people, and then humiliate the Daliang defenders.

................................................ Cardiff had absolute authority in the army, and orders were given without question.

This time, because it was a night attack, it was not easy to have too many people, and Cardiff considered it several times, and finally decided to choose only 800 elite knights.

Of course, Cardiff is not stupid, just in case, he also brought a few nine-rank masters from the temple.

With such equipment, even if the Yongzhou guards are crazy and send a large army to surround and kill, it is enough to break out at night.

The point is, the guards of Yongzhou still dare not act during the day, do they have the courage to send troops at night?

.................................... Cardiff just led people to run a few laps with torches far away outside Yongzhou City, and sure enough, there was a horn sound in the direction of Yongzhou.

The cavalry of Da Shi laughed and shouted one after another, laughing at the Yongzhou defenders for being cautious and cowardly, and not daring to go out of the city to face the battle.

Cardiff also smiled contemptuously, and ordered everyone to go three miles further, set up camp and rest, and then go back.

It's just that these people may have completely smashed the lantern festival in Yongzhou tonight, and also made the timid and cowardly guards in Yongzhou unable to sleep, but in any case, the people in Yongzhou City are much better than freezing in the wilderness outside Yongzhou City.

Cold...... It's the feeling of all big cannibals, including Cardiff.

Cardiff also regretted his sudden impulse, looked at the sky, and was about to give the order to go back, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the direction of Yongzhou.

Then, I saw a shadowy fire in the distance.

Gu Xichao suddenly stood up, frowned and looked into the distance, and said to Cardiff: "Your Royal Highness, Yongzhou has sent troops to inspect...... Let's go back......"

Cardiff hesitated, but knew he couldn't take any chances, thought for a moment, and said loudly, "Light all the torches...... Write a little more about the fire...... Be prepared...... Wait for the cowards of the girder to get closer, pretend to attack and scare them, and then retreat......"

The soldiers of the Great Eclipse all laughed and quickly got ready.

Cardiff was protected by several masters of the temple, and rushed forward with a roar in his mouth, rushing a distance of several hundred meters, and was just about to give the order to withdraw, when he heard a large cavalry shout: "Those cowards have stopped......"

Cardiff looked up, and sure enough, the fire was standing there, and he seemed to be hesitating whether to retreat or attack, and his heart moved, and he shouted: "Keep rushing!"

The Great Iron Rider charged fiercely.

The Great Liang army seemed to be frightened, and stopped for a while to observe the situation, and turned around and fled towards Yongzhou.

The Great Food Cavalry laughed, and it was really happy to see Liang Ren's cowardly and timid appearance up close again!

Cardiff was also full of disdain, and led his army to continue the assault.

The Great Liang army fled faster and faster.

Although Gu Xichao felt that something was wrong, he didn't interject because he didn't understand military affairs, and after rushing for a while, he suddenly saw a flash of light on the side of the road, and instantly reacted that it was the reflection of the weapon, and suddenly felt shocked in his heart, and roared in a low voice: "Retreat!"

Cardiff didn't know why, and was about to ask, when suddenly several large cannibals who rushed to the front were shot to the ground by a dense burst of fire.

Ahead, the Yongzhou defenders who had fled in embarrassment suddenly turned around neatly and rushed back quickly, just in time to kill the carbine!

Cardiff didn't know at this time that he had fallen into a trap and loudly ordered him to retreat.

However, at night, it was not as convenient as the daytime command, and he couldn't see the things around him clearly, so in a hurry, even the big food elite was in a panic.

On the side of the road, just now where Gu Xichao saw the reflection of weapons, a group of people poured out, slashing at the panicked cavalry, and killed directly towards Cardiff!

Cardiff has the temple's nine-rank master guards at hand, and of course he won't take these ordinary soldiers seriously.

Gu Xichao was about to wave his wide sleeves, ready to brush away the weapons of those soldiers, but he felt a weight in his hands.

Ulla...... The wide sleeves were shattered.

Gu Xichao was horrified in his heart, and he didn't care about the others who retreated and dodged, looking at the person who destroyed his sleeve with a long sword, and frowned: "It's you?!"

Chu Nan waved the sword in his hand casually, blocking the weapons stabbed by several loyal cannibals, and said with a chuckle: "Just for the sake of Fei Ying's face, I didn't hurt you...... I won't be merciful anymore......"

Gu Xichao snorted coldly, and didn't answer, his wide palm instantly turned into a luster like a stone, grabbed the spear shaft that Li Zhen stabbed over, and threw it away with a force, but was stabbed in the ribs by Dugu Qiu's sword, which took the feminine route.

Dugu Qiu was successfully stabbed, and he was secretly happy, but he felt that the long sword was like piercing into a stone, and he couldn't pierce it anymore, and when he looked up, he saw a pair of huge palms slapping over!

Ding!

Chu Nan accurately stabbed Gu Xichao's wrist, which was able to save Dugu Qiu, and jumped up and kicked at Gu Xichao's door.

At this time, Chu Mad's own soldiers seized the opportunity, raised their hands and arms, and with a rapid sound, dozens of crossbow arrows were shot out at close range.

Gu Xichao couldn't dodge at all, reached out to block Chu Nan's feet, and stubbornly withstood the shooting of dozens of crossbow arrows!

Even if it is as strong as Jiupin, and it is a domineering man who takes the road of body cultivation, he was still shot by a few crossbow arrows, although it was not enough to be fatal, but he didn't dare to be careless!

Who knows if there is poison on the crossbow arrow?!

In the night battle, it was still cavalry against cavalry, it was too chaotic, even if the Yongzhou army had the advantage, there were a lot of losses in the melee.

But in any case, it is still the big food side that suffers!

Chu Nan didn't go after Gu Xichao, it would be bad if he provoked him to go crazy with the Trapped Beast Fight, and it would be no good to really kill him except to make the temple completely fall to Da Shi and hate Da Liang to the bone.

The pro-soldiers who specially borrowed from Chu Mad were too advantageous at this time, and there were Chu Nan, Li Zhen, Dugu Qiu and others in front of them, and they only needed to take the time to release crossbow arrows to easily kill, and at such a close distance, they couldn't dodge during the day, let alone at night.

At this time, the master of the temple completely leaked the weakness of not adapting to the melee in the army, and was suppressed by a group of elite Yongzhou soldiers.

First the spear greeted, then the sword sneak attack, and finally someone secretly shot a crossbow arrow, as strong as Gu Xichao couldn't hold it, pulled out a crossbow arrow that hit the shoulder, threw it out and stabbed a Yongzhou soldier to death, but was attacked again, was slashed on the back, aggrieved to death, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Royal Highness...... Evacuate!"

Cardiff glared at Chu Nan fiercely, and said hatefully: "I remember you!

Chu Nan frowned, grabbed his arm, slapped the arm of a pro-soldier, and with a pop, a crossbow arrow accurately hit Cardiff's back.

The soldiers of the Great Eclipse and the masters of the temple had no time to stop it, watching Cardiff being shot and life and death unknown, where there was still some re-fighting, escorting Cardiff to flee quickly, throwing down hundreds of corpses!
