Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Skill of the Red-robed Man

When Ma Gui saw the governor's order to transfer troops, he immediately sent the deputy chief soldier Miao Yitang to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to set off in the starry night and rush to Dingbian.

It took 10,000 men and horses two days to arrive outside Dingbian City, but they couldn't enter the city.

Because the Ningxia soldiers of Bibai had already arrived first, they were launching a continuous attack on Dingbian City.

There are about 30,000 soldiers in Ningxia, and there are only about 10,000 soldiers defending the city in Dingbian, and there is a huge disparity in strength.

The north gate and the west gate were their main targets, and the two city gates were under artillery fire and people shouting horses.

After analyzing the situation on the battlefield, General Miao and Du Wenlin decided to transfer all 10,000 elite soldiers to the North Gate, and the inside and outside should be combined to relieve the siege of the North Gate first.

Du Wenlin led Wang Ling and Rong'er under the cover of the army to open a bloody road from the east gate and enter the city.

found Yun Qianhu and explained the plan in detail with him, and Yun Qianhu also felt that it was feasible.

Most of the troops defending the city were quietly transferred to the north gate, leaving only a small number of troops to defend the west gate.

At noon, 10,000 elite soldiers launched an attack on the Ningxia soldiers at the north gate from behind. Yun Qianhu opened the north gate and led the defenders in the city to rush out.

The enemy army responsible for attacking the north gate was the Han army led by Tu Wenxiu, a subordinate of the former Liu Dongyang, who was unwilling to die for Bibai.

Tu Wenxiu was not a brave and warlike person, and when he saw that the general trend was gone, he didn't want to organize resistance at all, nor did he go to Ximen to make peace with the allied forces that were still attacking the city, but led the remnants to flee directly to Ningxia.

After relieving the siege of the north gate, Miao Deputy General did not lead the troops into the city, but reorganized the team a little, and took advantage of the victory to kill the west gate.

Yun Qianhu took the victorious division of the north gate, turned to the west gate, concocted the same method, opened the city gate, led the army to rush out, echoed with the Ming army outside the city, and launched an internal and external flanking attack on the enemy army at the west gate.

Simon's enemy army was personally supervised by Bi Chengen, the son of Bibai, and the soldiers were all Tatars, and the fighting power was strong. After a morning of continuous attacks, the defenders of the West Gate suffered heavy casualties, and saw that the West Gate was about to be breached.

Who knows, as soon as he got the news that Tuwenxiu's team was dispersed, there was a shout of killing from his side.

At the same time, the defenders in the city also opened the west gate and rushed out frantically, and the two teams inside and outside formed a flanking attack on themselves.

Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly away, this made Bi Chengen angry, and ordered his subordinates not to retreat, and to destroy the Ming army on the battlefield outside the West Gate.

He shrank all the troops at the east gate and south gate to the west gate, gathered nearly 20,000 people, and was determined to fight to the death with the Ming army.

General Miao's troops once again charged, and Bi Chengen divided half of his army to the north to resist the Ming army.

Seven or eight thousand people also rushed out of Dingbian City and attacked from east to west.

The strength of the two sides is almost small, and nearly 40,000 soldiers have launched a life-and-death duel on this vast desert.

The horses neighed, the guns and halberds danced wildly, and the sky was dark, and the sun and moon were dark.

The battlefield was littered with the corpses of soldiers, and the vast desert was stained red with the blood of soldiers.

Du Wenlin stood on the city tower and looked at the battlefield not far away, and his heart was shocked.

This kind of fighting on flat ground is more brutal and bloody than the battle of urban fortifications.

The soldiers on both sides staggered with each other, rushing and fighting, shouting and killing to the sky, and the dust covered the daylight, and the dust was filled with a thick blood mist.

Those who have not experienced the battlefield will never be able to imagine how much visual impact the real battlefield will have.

Wang Ling and Rong'er looked at the lives of ants on the battlefield, their faces were pale and their faces were pale.

The battle continued until sunset, when the two sides could not see each other clearly, and then they each withdrew their troops.

The 10,000 men led by General Miao were stationed in the north of the city, and the soldiers defending the city still retreated to the city.

In the evening, the leaders of the Dingbian City Garrison Mansion, Miao Yitang, Yun Qianhu, Du Wenlin and other leaders gathered together to discuss tomorrow's war.

"If you do it tomorrow, I don't believe that you can't kill those Tatars." Mr. Miao had a straight temper.

"It's not appropriate to do it like this, the number of people on both sides is about the same, and you can't have an advantage, and if you keep doing it, it's a lose-lose situation at most."

"Master Du, what do you say?" Yun Qianhu asked.

"Today I watched the situation on the battlefield from the castle tower, and the rebels concentrated their forces in the north and east, but the southwest direction was extremely weak. I think in this way, Miao Zong's men and horses will go around the southwest overnight and ambush them, and tomorrow after the battle starts here, this ambush army in the southwest will suddenly come out, and the enemy army will not have time to move to the southwest, and may be able to crush them in one fell swoop. ”

The crowd thought it was feasible.

At this point, it's almost midday. Mr. Miao stood up and was about to say goodbye and go back.

Suddenly there was a scolding of the guards in the courtyard, Du Wenlin hurriedly told everyone to stay in the house and not move, and he took Wang Ling and Rong'er to fly to the porch.

In the courtyard, six golden-clothed men chased the guards like a whirlwind, and dozens of corpses were already lying on the ground.

It's those nasty "bugs" again, attacking in the middle of the night, is it just to kill these guards?

Du Wenlin didn't immediately join the battle, and stood there staring around vigilantly.

The guards were lambs to the slaughter in front of these yellow-clad killers, and the yellow whirlwind blew by, and immediately a corpse fell to the ground.

Rong'er couldn't stand it, shook the short sword in her hand, flew up, and swooped straight at the man in yellow.

Wang Ling was not at ease, and also flew over.

The two girls unfolded the Huashan sword technique and weaved a silver sword net in front of the man in yellow, and the man in yellow couldn't attack it for a while.

Suddenly, there was a scream, and four masked black-clothed men flew into the wall, three of them were holding short knives, one was holding a short spear, and the four of them had just landed on the ground and rushed straight into the hall.

Du Wenlin said secretly, here! The swing of the sword blocked their way.

The steel short spear in the hand of the first man in black pierced Du Wenlin's chest as fast as lightning.

Du Wenlin has dealt with this style of play many times, so although the opponent is extremely fast, he was still dissolved by his simple move of "Cangsong Welcome".

The other three black-clothed men took advantage of Du Wenlin's entanglement and rushed straight to the hall from the side.

At this time, Du Wenlin was entangled by the man in black with a spear, and he couldn't get out of his body to intercept it at all, and Wang Ling and Rong'er were also fighting hard against the six men in black, although they had a slight upper hand, but they couldn't help them for a while.

He knew the abilities of these men in black, and if they broke into the hall, none of the soldiers in the room would be spared. They command thousands of troops and horses to fight on the battlefield, but it is not their strength to deal with the killing of martial arts masters alone.

Du Wenlin was shocked. He wanted to get out of the way, but the short spear was like a bone-attached body, pressing him tightly.

At the moment of crisis, a white figure fell from the sky and swooped down on the three black-clothed people who were about to enter the house.

The three of them suddenly heard the sound of clothes carrying the wind behind them, and knew that someone was attacking behind them, so they hurriedly turned around to deal with it.

The man in white didn't say a word, the dagger in his hand was like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, stabbing out a piece of light and shadow, covering the three men in black.

The three men in black faced the powerful offensive of the men in white, and they had to deal with it seriously, and the three of them scattered, surrounded the men in white, and launched an intensive attack.

"Sanniang is here!" Du Wenlin felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, his spirit was greatly lifted, his swordsmanship changed, the offensive instantly accelerated, and the man in black with a short spear was forced to be in a hurry for a while.

Several miserable howls sounded in the courtyard one after another, and the people in yellow were eliminated by Wang Ling and Rong'er, and the remaining two saw that things were not good, and rose to the sky and went over the wall.

The man in yellow was defeated, making the remaining four black-clothed people timid, and gradually retreated towards the courtyard while fighting.

"Wei Dongqing, you have repeatedly opposed the imperial court and aided in the abuse, do you still want to get out tonight?" Du Wenlin laughed.

Wei Dongqing was silent, struggling desperately, and danger was everywhere.

The other three men in black fought the men in white, but they were at ease.

The man in white seemed to be a little staggered and at a disadvantage.

"Sanniang!" Wang Ling shouted. While swinging his sword, he met one of the men in black.

Rong'er was not far behind and jumped into the battle group.

The addition of the two girls changed the situation instantly, and the two black-clothed men who fought against Wang Ling and Rong'er were relatively calm, but the black-clothed man who fought Sanniang alone immediately began to hurry and retreated again and again.

A muffled snort came, and Wei Dongqing was pierced in his right arm by Du Wenlin's move "Heavenly Squire Hanging Upside Down", and half of his body was instantly stained red with blood.

The man in black who was fighting against the man in white suddenly let out a sharp roar, and the offensive of the three of them immediately accelerated, surging like a tide.

The two girls were forced to retreat again and again, and the three men in black gradually moved closer to Wei Dongqing's side, they wanted to fight side by side.

Where will Du Wenlin let them get their wish, the swordsmanship is tightened, an oblique stab, Wei Dongqing can't dodge, his right leg is stabbed again, and his movement is immediately restricted, not to mention attacking, he is not even very agile to beat.

The black-clothed man who was fighting against Sanniang panicked, and was stabbed in the right shoulder with a dagger, and the arm holding the knife immediately hung down.

Sanniang was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue and take it down, when suddenly, a person wearing a red robe and a red scarf swooped down from the wall, like a red flame.

His pair of gloves were holding a pair of silver gloves, and he grabbed Sanniang's head from top to bottom.

Sanniang's dagger stabbed at the palm of the red-robed man, seeing that it had been stabbed, who knew that he was turned over and grabbed the blade, and with a hard blow, a strong force surged instantly. Sanniang's heart was shocked, and she jerked hard, so that the dagger was not taken away by her.

The red-robed man shouted to the three black-clothed men, "Hurry up!" Before he finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed Wang Ling's sword.

Wang Ling was overjoyed in his heart, and said that you are looking for death by yourself. She was confident that the sword that could cut through gold and jade would be enough to cut off the palm of her hand. So deliberately let it grasp, and when it grasped it, the blade of the sword slashed out sharply.

She seemed to have seen a severed palm fly into the air.

It's a pity that the palm of the hand was not broken, and he grabbed the sword and regained it with force, so that Wang Ling almost didn't hold the hilt.

Wang Ling was horrified in his heart, regretting that he had underestimated the enemy and almost lost his weapon.

In a hurry, his body was upside down, and it took all his strength to withdraw the sword, and he staggered and retreated several steps in a row.

The red-robed man did not pause, and jumped behind Du Wenlin in one step, stretched out his hand to grab his right shoulder, and shot like lightning.

Du Wenlin shrank back, and the sword in his hand slashed back with a move of "looking back at the moon".

The red-robed man reached out and grabbed the blade of the sword, and threw it out to the left front, Du Wenlin was pulled by the force, and took two steps diagonally before he stabilized his body.

The red-robed man grabbed Wei Dongqing's left arm, flew up, and jumped directly out of the wall.

The other three men in black also jumped out and disappeared into the night.

None of the people in the courtyard planned to pursue it again, because the skill of the red-robed man brought a strong spiritual shock to everyone.

Even if you catch up, what can you do? Ask yourself who could be his opponent?

Sanniang looked at the disappearing back of the red-robed man, pondered for a long time, and was silent for a long time.

It wasn't until Du Wenlin and Wang Ling came forward to meet him that they came back to their senses.

Sanniang said that she was not worried about Du Wenlin's trip to the border stopper, so she chased him from Jiangnan to Yan'an, and she had lived in Yan'an for a while.

Hearing that there was about to be a war on this side of Dingbian City, he was worried about Du Wenlin's safety, so he rushed all the way from Yan'an Mansion to this side.

As soon as they arrived, they had caught up with the battle, and if they had been a little late, the lives of the generals in the room would probably have been lost.

Mr. Miao and Yun Qianhu expressed their kindness to you.

Then, General Miao had to rush back to the military camp in the north of the city overnight.

Du Wenlin was not worried about the safety on his way, and sent him to the barracks with Wang Ling, Rong'er and Sanniang, and then several people returned the same way.
