In front is the Baitou Village, which is the nineteen villages arranged by Tuoba Xian outside the city of Guluo, but it is the only one facing the northeast. Cao Yan gritted his teeth and said.

"Stockade?" Zeng Hua was a little strange.

"That's the case, Tuoba Xian collected more than 5,000 households of his descendants into Guluo City, and then set up nineteen stockades around Guluo City, and placed the nearby departments who defected to them respectively." Cao Yan explained.

"In this way, what is the distribution of Tuoba Xian's forces?" Zeng Hua nodded and asked.

"There are more than 5,000 soldiers and horses in Guluo City, more than 1,000 soldiers and horses from his father-in-law's department, and more than 1,000 people from a separate elite cavalry. The surrounding nineteen villages have different numbers of soldiers and horses, or five or six hundred, or one or two thousand. For example, there are only more than 500 people in this Baitou Village. "Cao Yan came one by one, it seems that he is preparing for revenge inside and outside this Guluo City, and it is not in vain to spend many days on it.

"The most elite of Tuoba Xian's soldiers and horses is the one thousand elite horsemen who are compiled separately, but this team of men and horses is only Yan Feng, the strategist who serves Tuoba Xian."

"Yan Feng, is that the Yan Feng you stabbed?" Zeng Hua asked.

"Yes, my lord, Yan Feng is the strategist that Tuoba Xian relies on, according to the news obtained by the small spying, this Yan Feng seems to be from the Hebei Dynasty, Tuoba Xian's rebellion was planned by him, and the Henan tribes that belong to him are also persuaded by him. However, the relationship between Tuoba Xian and Yan Feng was not harmonious, and the little one heard that Tuoba Xian was extremely jealous and suspicious of Yan Feng, and the thousand elite horsemen Tuoba Xian only dared to let them be stationed in the south of Guluo City. Cao Yan explained one by one.

"How are Tuoba Xian and Yan Feng as people?" Zeng Hua thought silently, and then asked.

"Back to my lord. Yan Fengxiao has never been in contact with him, so he doesn't know how detailed he is, but he is said to be a very strategic person, and he has the support and respect of many subordinate people. And Tuoba is a cruel and cunning villain, suspicious and speculative by nature, but he is light on money and easy to give, and he has attracted many people with small favors and small favors. Cao Yan immediately replied, "Tuoba shows that this person likes beauty and good wine. The attached tribesmen tried to curry favor with him. Present him with several beauties and children. Tuoba was very happy. So for more than ten days, he feasted in the house every day. ”

"How is this Guluo City defended?" Zeng Hua and Park glanced at each other, and then Park asked

"Lord Hui, in addition to the 1,000 elite horsemen outside the city, the rest of this Guluo City are soldiers and civilians, and they are usually stationed in Guluo City as the headquarters of Tuoba Xian, and more than 5,000 people are divided into various key places in Guluo City every day to inspect the whole city. and the chiefs of the tribes who guarded Tuopat and dwelt in the city. Cao Yan replied without hesitation.

"Good! This time, Cao Shuyi can be the first credit! Zeng Hua praised.

"My lord, Xiaodi doesn't seek the first merit, but only seeks to be able to show his blade and avenge Pastor Chen!" Cao Yan said with a flushed face.

"Good! Shu Yi, allocate you a thousand cavalry, can you take Baitou Village without alarming Guluo City? Zeng Hua asked.

"Yes!" Cao Yan thought about it and said resolutely, "As long as the adults can allocate the clothes of the rebels who pursued me in the afternoon captured by the army to the small ones, and then allocate more than ten cavalrymen who can speak Xianbei and Xiongnu dialects to the small ones." “

"Oh. So confident? Zeng Hua couldn't help but appreciate it. Okay, I'll answer you all, Zhong Cunlian. You have gathered all the things Shu Yi asked for, and then you will run with him. ”

"Yes, sir!" Zhong Cunlian hurriedly responded. Zhong Cunlian saw that his family was ready to give Cao Yan a chance. This kid is a man who values love and righteousness, and he deserves the help of the big guy, so Zhong Cunlian willingly agreed, and then ran errands for Cao Yan.

Only half an hour later, I only saw that there was no fire in the distance in Baitou Village, nor did I hear the deafening shouting of killing, but it seemed that many figures shook a little, lit a few small fires, and then everything was as usual. After a while, several horses galloped gently, and the head was Cao Yan, who was wrapped in a white turban, and his face was covered with blood, and under the light of the torches in the hands of the two cavalrymen behind, he could see that there was a lot of blood on his body, and a smell of blood came to his face. When he got closer, Cao Yan threw away a few black things next to the saddle, only to hear a few plops, and felt a few round things fall to the ground.

"Back to my lord, Cao is fortunate not to be dishonored, Baitou Village has been taken down, this is the head of the three leaders in the village, please take it." Cao Yan said in a deep voice.

"Good!" Zeng Hua sighed, and then immediately sent more than 300 horsemen to stay in Baitou Village, and the rest prepared to continue to attack Guluo City.

As everyone began their final preparations, Zeng Hua, Park and Zhang listened to Zhong Cunlian tell about the scene just now.

"Shu Yi first explained a few words to the dozen or so sergeants who could speak Xianbei and Xiongnu dialects, and then took more than 300 horsemen wearing Tuoba Xian's military clothes to pick up a bloody human head, pretending to be chasing Shu Yi's Guluo City headquarters soldiers and horses back to the city, swaggering towards Baitou Village, while I and the remaining 700 horsemen dismounted far away according to Shu Yi's orders, and then quietly sneaked close to Baitou Village."

Shu Yi walked into Baitou Village with more than 300 riders. The defenders in the village did not suspect at all, not only opened the gate of the wall, but also ran over to please these Tuoba Xian's own soldiers. Shu Yi was very arrogant, and kept angrily scolding the defenders in the village with Xianbei words, scolding them for being ignorant. At this time, more than a dozen cavalrymen behind Shu Yi responded in Xianbei and Xiongnu dialects, and scolded the defenders in the village together. Later, Shu Yi and more than a dozen cavalrymen also began to beat people, and suddenly the entire Baitou Village was in a panic. And the three leaders of Baitouzhai also heard the sound and came out with a smile to appease Shu Yi, the pro-soldiers of the Guluo City headquarters. ”

"I led more than 700 people to take advantage of this chaos to sneak into Baitou Village and occupy various dangerous positions. Shu Yi saw that I had succeeded, and immediately attacked, and as soon as he turned around and drew his knife, he cut down the three leaders of Baitou Village who came over to the ground and struck them with their heads. We immediately moved back and forth, and in a matter of moments we cut down half of the five hundred defenders, and the rest fell to their knees and begged for mercy, so we took the Baitou Village. Zhong Cunlian is worthy of being an old man who has been with Zeng Hua for several years, and this official language is becoming more and more fluent. A few words clearly explained the passage of Cao Yan's seizure of Baitou Village.

"Wonderful!" Pu couldn't help clapping his hands, and after sighing, he turned to Zeng Hua and said, "General, I'm afraid that my Beifu will have another tiger general." ”

Zeng Hua smiled and nodded: "Shu Yi is not only an iron-blooded man who values affection, but also a wise and resourceful talent. Changjun (Zhao Fu) didn't always say that I was biased, saying that I only found a good apprentice for Yuanqing. After this battle, I asked Shu Yi to worship him as a teacher to see if he had anything else to say. ”

“

This is very good, and the thunder takes Yuanqing as a teacher. Follow Mr. Bingtai. Shu Yi can follow Mr. Jingluo. Park said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Cao Yan patting his horse over, clasping his fists at Zeng Hua and saying, "My lord, I and the three hundred cavalry pioneers are ready and ready at any time." ”

"Shu Yi, can you speak Xianbei words?" Zeng Hua asked.

"Yes, the Great General. I followed Pastor Chan for several years, and Pastor Chan taught me to read. He also taught me to learn Xianbei, Xiongnu and Xiqiang languages, and also said that he recommended me to go to Chang'an Theological Seminary for two years, and also worked as a pastor. Speaking of this, Cao Yan's eyes turned red again, "Who knew that the priest died tragically at the hands of thieves, but fortunately, I have been familiar with martial arts since I was a child, and I have practiced a few martial arts, and I can avenge the priest." Since I can't be a priest to spread the Holy Righteousness, let me clear the gloom of the Holy Church with my sword. This is also my last wish to uphold Pastor Chen! Cao Yan clenched his fists and said

After Zeng Hua listened. He didn't speak for a long time, and finally turned his head and ordered in a loud voice: "Okay, Shu Yi called the east gate of Guluo with three hundred disguised vanguards." I followed closely with more than 3,000 horsemen and fought into the city; Fei Ting, Zhong Cunlian, Gong Tangxiu, the three of you each led a thousand horsemen, and took advantage of the chaos in the city to attack the north, south, and west gates of Guluo City respectively. ”

"Yes, the general's order!" Cao Yan, Fei Ting, Zhong Cunlian, and Gong Tangxiu responded in unison.

"Chang Rui! You take a thousand cavalry to attack the enemy elite cavalry in the south of the city, and see if it is his rebel elite and powerful, or my flying feather cavalry elite and fierce! ”

"Yes! Commander Order! Zhang replied happily, his face full of excitement but with a murderous aura.

"Mr. Su Chang, you lead the rest of the troops to maneuver, responsible for pursuing the fish that have slipped through the net from the city, and blocking the possible reinforcements from the outer villages."

"Yes! Commander Order! ”

At this time, Zeng Hua raised his head, looked up at the sky and watched the snowflakes falling more and more densely, and he reached out to catch a few snowflakes. The snowflakes like catkins quickly melted in Zeng Hua's palms and turned into a little bit of snow.

"Command all the troops, after the start of the war, order the thief army, those who abandon their weapons and surrender will not die! But there are those who do not obey the command and carry the sword, and those who resist will be killed! Zeng Hua's cold voice reached everyone's ears through the snowflakes fluttering in the dark night.

"Obey the general's order!" Everyone responded in unison.

In the heavy snow, Cao Yan rushed to the front first, wearing a bowled fur hat that Xianbei people like to wear, just covering his head with a white cloth scarf, and then draped a piece of Pikan Daqi. Cao Yan gritted his teeth and calmed down, instigating his mount to gallop in the heavy snow. He held the reins tightly in his left hand, and held a spear in his right hand, and there was a human head hanging on the top of the spear, which was mixed with black and red blood clots and white snow and frost, and he couldn't see the true face of this human head at all, so others would never be able to see that this was the head of the captain of Cao Yandi's own soldiers who were originally chasing and killing him.

Closely followed by Cao Yan, who was full of murderous spirits, more than 300 horsemen also braved the wind and snow to instigate their mounts, some of them wore bowled fur hats, and some wore pointed fur hats that the Huns liked to wear. They were silent, letting the snowflakes hit their faces in the wind, and then turned into a layer of hoarfrost that hung on their noses, eyebrows, eyelashes, and beards.

In the sound of the howling wind and snow, the sound of their hurried horses' hooves was quickly swept away by the sound of the wind, and soon drowned in the endless black and white flying.

Soon, in the middle of the night when the snow was falling, Cao Yan and his party came to the east gate of Guluo City. The *** hanging on the city tower revealed an orange light in the dark night wind and snow, which looked dim but warm.

"Hurry up and open the gates!" Cao Yan, who was in the lead, shouted loudly in Xianbei words.

The defenders who were hiding from the wind and snow on the city tower finally heard it after Cao Yan shouted four times, and hurriedly poked their heads out to take a look, only to see a figure faintly shaking in front of the city gate in the wind and snow, maybe dozens of people, maybe hundreds of people.

Seeing a few heads poking out faintly from the city tower, Cao Yan's voice became louder: "You *** should hurry up and open the door!" Lao Tzu chased for hundreds of miles before killing the traitor who assassinated the adult. We also want to repay the adults! More than a dozen people behind him were also yelling: "Damn, the old men chased in the wind and snow for a day and a night." How dare you lock Lao Tzu out of the city! ”

The defenders hurriedly ran down the tower amid the scolding from the city, and a dozen people put down the bolt of the door with all their hands, and then squeaked the door open. Guluo City is the old city of the former Han Dynasty, which has been abandoned for hundreds of years, and it is naturally dilapidated. Later, the northern province occupied this place, and because of its strategic location, it was restored, but it was only an earthen wall more than a foot high. Plus four dilapidated wooden doors. It's a city after all.

The defenders did not suspect in the slightest that the soldiers and horses below the city were fake. They could not have imagined that on this snowy day, in addition to being ordered to pursue the Assassins' own soldiers, there would be anyone marching in this damn weather. The defenders who took the lead looked at Cao Yan, who rode into the doorway, and hurriedly said flatteringly: "You finally caught up with that damn assassin?" A few of you will definitely be rewarded by Lord Shan Yu, and your captain, you can't run away from being promoted. ”

The leader of the defenders muttered as he looked at the tip of the spear in Cao Yan's hand, and then sighed: "I really don't know if this person has two guts." Dare to assassinate the Lord in Shan Yu's mansion......" As he spoke, the leader suddenly felt that the human head flew up, getting closer and closer to him, almost touching his face. Looking at the eyes that were slightly closed in the blood clots and snow and frost, and the face that was distorted by despair, the heart of the leader of the defenders couldn't help but froze, and just as he was about to jump to the side, the tip of the spear that he had not been paying attention to had already stabbed silently. Easily pierced his throat.

The leader of the defenders clutched his throat but could not speak. Just pointed at Cao Yan and trembled. Cao Yan threw away the spear and drew his saber in his right hand, ending the struggle of the leader of the defenders with a single sword. Then with his left hand, he ripped off the fur hat on his head. Revealing a white cloth towel wrapped around his head.

Cao Yan raised the saber that saw the blood, and roared: "Kill with me!" Then he instigated his mount and rushed forward like a sharp knife.

The more than 300 horsemen behind him also ripped off their leather hats, revealing their white turbans, and rushed forward with their sabers. More than 300 horsemen engulfed the panicked dozen defenders like a whirlwind, and then continued to kill the dozens of defenders who heard the noise.

Cao Yan slashed down the defenders in front of his horse with a knife, glanced at it, and found that there were almost no defenders standing near the city gate, so he roared with a bloody saber: "Leave a hundred people to answer the adult, and the rest will follow me to the puppet Shan Yu Mansion to charge!" ”

After saying that, as soon as Cao Yan kicked the spur, the mount hissed, and the four hooves soared, and rushed forward in the wind and snow, and more than two hundred horsemen followed behind, and the cold light of more than two hundred sabers kept beating in the wind and snow.

When Zeng Hua rode his horse and rushed into the east gate of Guluo, he saw more than 100 flying feather cavalry soldiers wrapped in white turbans intercepting hundreds of rebels who rushed over on foot. I saw them instigating their mounts, rushing back and forth on the empty streets, first knocking down a batch, and then cutting down a batch, and the hundreds of rebels could not get close at all except for leaving hundreds of corpses.

Zeng Hua raised his saber and roared: "Rush with Lao Tzu!" ”

As soon as the words were spoken, Hot Wheels had already rushed to one of the rebels. Zeng Hua raised his right hand, flashed his saber, and the sharp blade gently slashed through the rebel's neck, and then swept through the chests of the two rebels with the momentum of the Hot Wheels, and finally flew in the air.

Zeng Hua flicked his wrist and flipped the saber, allowing the two rebel sergeants who were rushed away by the Hot Wheels, and then with a stretch of his right arm, the saber made a whirring sound, splitting the cold wind and bringing a head to the wind, making countless blood with hot air fly wildly in the snow, and then sprinkled on the snow with a pop, showing countless black spots.

Led by Zeng Hua, three thousand flying feather cavalry wrapped in white turbans rushed forward towards the city of Guluo, their sabers and galloping mounts whistling away with an incomparably fierce wind, leaving behind them fluttering snowflakes like waves stirred up by a rapid.

Zeng Hua didn't know how many people he cut down along the way, and the splashes of blood and snowflakes almost confused his eyes, but none of this could stop his galloping footsteps.

The rebels were terrified by the shouts of slaughter all over the city, and they stood in the streets, driven by officers and nobles, and looked helplessly and fearlessly at the snowy front with their swords and guns.

In a roar like thunderbolts, countless cavalrymen in black armor and white turbans brandished their sabers, like a group of demons emerging from the snowy night, and the murderous aura on their bodies stirred snowflakes and swirled behind them. The saber in their hand was as conspicuous as the scythe in the hand of death.

The rebels in front watched in amazement as their mounts grew bigger and bigger in front of their eyes. Then his body was knocked into the air like a clay puppet. The rebels in the back saw their colleagues in front of them suddenly disappear before their eyes, then suddenly saw a shining saber appear in front of them, then a flash of lightning swept over them, and finally saw a line of blood spurting out of their necks, and disappeared into the air in the wind and snow with a hot air.

When Zeng Hua led three thousand horsemen to the "Nandan Yufu" unstoppably, the entire Guluo City had already fallen into a shouting and killing, and countless roars and screams were extremely clear in the increasingly changing earth and snow, and everywhere was "Those who abandon weapons will not be killed!" "Shout. And the fires that were lit one after another announced the fate of the city. It also symbolizes the strength of the cavalry in the north of the town that besieged the city. The higher you go. Rushing all the way to the sky, shining on a piece of the world where snowflakes are flying.

The sound of the battle in the "Nandan Yu" mansion was even more intense, as if it was the center of a blizzard, violently hitting the entire heaven and earth and the small mansion.

Zeng Hua saw this scene and knew that Cao Yan must have killed Tuoba Xian's bed, so he hurriedly ordered: "A thousand brothers surround this mansion, and the rest of the thousand men and horses will patrol the city." Take care of the rest of the people! The rest of the brothers dismount with me! “

Zeng Hua turned over and dismounted, then pulled out a horizontal knife from the saddle of Hot Wheels, raised it high and shouted: "Kill with Lao Tzu, kill all the traitors who dare to show their weapons in front of Lao Tzu!" ”

A thousand dismounted horsemen responded like thunder, and then, brandishing their swords, they rushed in in groups from several of the gates that had already been knocked open. Zeng Hua held a horizontal knife in both hands, stepping on the corpse and a pool of blood until he rushed to the depths of the mansion, and after a while, he rushed to the inner courtyard.

Zeng Hua saw hundreds of people killing inside at a glance. He didn't say a word. Leap forward. With a twist of his hands, the sharp horizontal knife immediately split a rebel in front of him in two. Facing the blood mist rising into the sky, Zeng Hua continued to stand forward. slashed left and right, and instantly killed flesh and blood within a radius of several feet. Just as Zeng Hua was about to make persistent efforts, he found that thousands of subordinates poured out from behind him, and seeing the rebels in front of him was like seeing the enemy who killed his father, and the saber was like flying snow, and he immediately killed hundreds of rebels in the snow. Joke, if you let others know that General Zhenbei was killed in front of them, these thousand brothers will not be able to see anyone after they go back.

There were fewer and fewer rebels in the courtyard, and the cavalry in the north of the town became more and more courageous, staring at the last group of rebels of less than fifty people with blood-red eyes, while shouting, "Those who abandon their weapons will not be killed!" While secretly hoping that they would not abandon their weapons and surrender.

At this moment, an earth-shattering scream sounded from the backyard house, which made everyone's hearts tremble. After a while, I saw a bloody man walk out. He held a saber in one hand and a bloody head in the other. Seeing this man appear, everyone's eyes turned.

"Tuoba Xian's head is here!" A roar was like lightning in the night, sending through the wind and snow to the surroundings of Guluo City. Hearing this, countless cheers suddenly rang out, countless sabers danced in the night sky, and hearing this, hundreds of rebels finally dropped their weapons in despair and fell to their knees in despair.

At dawn, Guluo City all fell into the hands of Beifu, Tuoba Xian was headed by Cao Yanxiao, more than 3,000 rebels and hundreds of rebel leaders died in the chaos, more than 2,000 people surrendered, most of the remaining 18 rebels surrendered, a few people tried to escape, and were chased and killed by Zhong Cunlian and the cavalry.

"General, this is Tuoba Xian's strategist Yan Feng!" Zhang Yu reported, "When his subordinates led the army to break through the Jingcai camp in the south of the city, this person was lying in a big tent with injuries, and when he heard that our army was coming, he immediately ordered him to surrender and asked to see the general. ”

Zhang Chong killed the elite cavalry camp of the rebels in the south of the city, and took the lives of more than a dozen people as soon as he made a move, so that these elite soldiers of the country thought that they had seen the murder demon king, and before they could engage in the battle, they softened their hands and feet by three points, and they were not Zhang's opponents. Just when the more than 1,000 horsemen who rode up to the leading generals and down to the small soldiers were all killed by Zhang and cried out, Yan Feng ordered the whole battalion to surrender immediately, which made Zhang very depressed.

Zeng Hua nodded, his eyes staring at the scribe who was limping over. This person was only in his thirties, dressed in a leather robe and wearing a fur hat around his neck, and when he approached, he said: "Daijun Yanfeng has seen General Zhenbei. ”

Zeng Hua asked coldly, "Are you the elder Shi Yanfeng of Tuoba Shiyi?" ”

The scribe was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "It's down there!" ”

"Take it!" Zeng Hua said violently without saying a word. As soon as the words fell, the two sergeants immediately rushed up and twisted Yan Feng's hands
