Chapter 23: The Fall of Jade Spring
As soon as the sky was revealed, Ye Ge ordered all the troops to rest in turn, and ordered Leonard to lead 10,000 troops to take Yuquan City directly, and be sure to scavenge grain and grass to save the urgent need.
When King Ebigai heard that Yego had divided his troops to Yuquan City, he was burned inside, and knew that the small wall of Yuquan City was low, and it was just a gold cave, and there was no heavy army to guard it. The Xionglupan army pointed out that there will be no grass. was at a loss, Wen Wei came to ask for a meeting, saying that there was an important military situation, and hurriedly announced it.
Wei Lai entered the palace and saw that all the civil and military officials were there, and Nadramani was also there, so it was inconvenient to speak.
Seeing that Wei Lai seemed to have something difficult to say, Ai Bigai said, "It's better to come early than to come by coincidence, has His Royal Highness Wei Lai ever eaten?" Why don't you accompany Gu to feed the temple first, and then discuss the others? ”
"I can't ask for it, I have it!" Wei Lai got off the donkey on the slope and readily agreed.
The ministers had no choice but to retreat.
Wei Lai followed Aibigai to the other hall, and after sitting down on both sides, he said, "Your Majesty, according to reliable information, Yego was assassinated last night, and the assassin is my deceased, and I have found out the most important information...... Wei Lai reported the situation to Aibigai. Only the source of the information is hidden, the Darkmoon organization.
Hearing this, Ebigai was skeptical, and said, "Nadramani has always been a peacemaker, but when it comes to betraying the enemy, there is no physical evidence, so how can I believe it?" ”
"The king can listen to the situation of the Xionglu army last night and then make a judgment."
"It's good!" Ebigai summoned his own soldiers in, and commanded them like this. The soldiers took the order and left.
After a while, another soldier came to report, saying that at about 2 o'clock in the morning, the Xionglupan camp was on fire, and for some reason.
When King Aibigai heard this, he believed a little, although Yuquan Pass was urgent, in order to prevent the Xionglu army from sneaking up at night, it was difficult to protect Half Moon City itself, so naturally he could not send troops to save it, so he could only resign himself to fate.
King Aibigai invited the guards to eat, but it was just some snacks and fruits, and the Xionglu army was besieged tightly, and even the royal family could only tighten their clothes and eat to prepare for a long-term war of resistance.
Wei Lai said, "I don't know what Your Majesty is going to do?" ”
"From the perspective of His Royal Highness the Prince, how should I deal with it?" King Ebigai pondered for a moment, but did not answer, but asked Ji Weilai.
Wei Lai said, "It's better to plan the plan, lead the enemy into the city, close the door and beat the dog!" ”
"Oh? Please elaborate. "King Abigai said.
Wei Lai said, "We just have to be this, so ......"
Besides, Leonard led 10,000 elite soldiers, fast horses, day and night, marching more than 200 miles, straight to Yuquan City. The small walls of Yuquan City are short, where can it withstand the attack, the soldiers point out, and the city will be broken immediately.
Fortunately, Augustus, the lord of Yuquan City, had already arranged for secret agents to closely monitor the movements of the Xionglufan army, and when he saw Leonard leading the army, he quickly reported to Augustus. Augustus could not sit still, so he packed the car and fled to another place with his family and army. The people of the city also learned the news and fled in all directions, leaving an empty city behind.
Leonard broke through the city gate, only an empty city, it was difficult to go back to pay the account, and he jumped like thunder, and ordered his soldiers to divide into five routes, one way to stay in the city to search, and four roads to divide into four directions, following the track.
Those fleeing people and the lord of Yuquan City, dragging their families, the old, the small, and all kinds of livestock, stopped and stopped along the way, naturally no cavalry ran fast, and they were caught up by the Xionglu army in a day or two.
The people were unarmed and could not resist, so they could only be strung up and led by ropes and rushed in the direction of Half Moon City.
When the Yuquan City Lord and his group were caught up, Augustus asked his wife and children to take them and run away desperately on fast horses. Together with Nisera, he led more than a thousand soldiers and horses to break down.
The leader of the Xionglu Pan Army was called Lawrence, who was also a ruthless character, and he slapped his horse forward and shouted, "But Augustus, the lord of Yuquan City? ”
"Exactly!" Augustus said fiercely.
"When the army comes, if you don't get off your horse and capture it quickly, when will you wait?" Lawrence said arrogantly.
"My Yuquan City has few soldiers, and there is no reason to surrender without a fight!" Nikolai pointed his gun at Lawrence.
"Hahahaha! Kill yourself, and that will be your way! Kill these two-legged sheep for me! With a wave of his hand, Lawrence led the charge with his gun raised.
In an instant, the two thousand elite cavalry of Xionglupan rushed straight towards the soldiers of Yuquan City like a tide, and the white sand and dust raised by the horse's hooves were like rolling waves. The sound of roaring and shouting was deafening. The earth trembled.
Augustus glanced at the direction in which his wife and children had left, relentlessly, and shouted, "Kill me!" He waved the golden rod dragon broadsword in his hand and swooped straight at Lawrence.
The two soldiers met in an instant, like two tides colliding, and suddenly blood was sprayed, people turned over their horses, and guns and knives were broken.
Nikolai pierced one of the cavalrymen with one shot, drew his spear from behind it, and with another shot dismounted the cavalry behind him. He picks left and right stabs, and the steel spear is like a swimming dragon, and he is injured when he is touched, and he dies when he is stabbed, like a god descending from heaven.
Augustus slashed Lawrence's spear away and slashed at his head. Lawrence's equestrian skills were brilliant, and he rolled over and hid on the side of the horse, easily dodging the fatal blow. Augustus rode non-stop, swinging his sword like a wheel, and slashed at the other cavalrymen.
The more than 1,000 soldiers in Yuquan City regarded death as home, and they did not fall behind for a while, and they were killed and injured by each other.
As the battle was in the end, another group of men and horses arrived, and it was Leonard who led the troops. It turned out that he had already ordered that no matter which way the people found the city lord of Yuquan, they would send a letter to report, and he would bring in troops to help.
When the Xionglu army saw that the reinforcements had arrived, they became more and more courageous. When Augustus saw this, he knew that he was defeated and could not survive, and cried out, "Brothers! Hengzhi is a death, killing one is enough, killing two is earned, let such a dog hell! ”
Those pro-soldiers are mostly taken care of by Augustus, and they don't spare their lives when they see him, which one doesn't fight hard? There is no one who does not fight to the death.
Leonard sneered and shouted, "Kill me, don't leave a single one!" ”
He lifted his horse forward, looked at Augustus, raised his hand, and with a "whoosh", shot a cold arrow.
"Ahh You! "Augustus did not expect that he would be wounded by a secret arrow, and he was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and his hand was so weak that he could not lift the knife. He was picked up and dropped by Lawrence, picked off his horse, and shot again, stabbed in the throat, blood gushed like a spring, and he had already died.
When Nikolai saw that the lord of the city was dead, he was in a trance, and he was also cut off his horse by the cavalry.
In a moment, all the soldiers of Yuquan City were killed, and none of them were spared.
Leonard ordered each of them to hunch a corpse and rode his horse to Half Moon City. Only the severed arms and stumps and the bloody remnants were left, attracting the corpse eagle to snatch the essence in a moment......
