2. Sunset Banner (II)
The eight words Beidou are very short, but in the ears of the three people, they are nothing less than thunder. Until she had already set off, Wei Huaizhen still seemed to have this sentence ringing in her ears. He subconsciously pressed the book "The Art of War" in his heart. This book was originally awarded by Xue Tingxuan to all literate soldiers in the Wude Battalion, requiring everyone to familiarize themselves with this book. It's just that the book has been issued, but there are not many people who can really calm down and read it well. Wei Huaizhen never left his body, studied day and night, and was already able to recite it fluently. This book is not very long, and it is very important to talk about the art of war. Compared with this book "The Art of War", the master set the second article of the "Twelve Tricks" mentioned in it, "use it and show it".
Most of the masters have never read this "Experience in the Art of War", but the subtleties in it are clearly in line with the Art of War. It seems that the applicability of the art of war is far beyond my imagination. It's just that the matter is urgent, and there can be no further delay. Originally, the city of Chu had been surrounded, and if you wanted to assassinate, it was better to wait until the moon was dark and the wind was high before going out of the city. However, both Situ Yu and Beidou knew that the city of Chu might not be able to withstand the darkness, so they had to take advantage of the enemy's siege to get out. Since the siege army was mixed with people from the Ashina Division, it was not noticeable to deliberately find someone like Wei Huaizhen who could speak Xiyuan dialect, or someone who looked completely Hu like Takziwende.
The first wave of attacks was with Ashinabe as the striker. As a nomadic tribe living in the Western Plains, Ashina was not good at attacking cities, and had an inextricable relationship with the Chu capital, but was forced to step forward by the expeditionary force of the Sunflower Dynasty. But even if it is forced, once it is handed over, it is impossible to help itself, so it can only fight hard, and no longer care about the face. When the first wave of the offensive was repulsed, Ashina left dozens of corpses at the head of the city and retreated, and Beidou led the three of them to withdraw from the city in the defeated Ashinabu.
When he mixed into the camp of Ashinabu, Wei Huaizhen couldn't help but glance back at Chu Capital City. It's noon now, and it's time for lunch in the city at this time. But now the city is full of flags, and the pheasants are stained with blood, and the wind blows, and it also carries blood.
Ashina gathered at the forefront of the camp, and Tai Xili, the commander of the Sunflower Dynasty Expeditionary Force, naturally forced them to take on the first wave of offensives. The men and horses of Ashina's department have always been undisciplined, and now they are even more chaotic, those who have just retreated and those who have not yet rushed to kill are mixed together, and they gather in groups of three or two and make a lot of noise. Although Beidou and Chen Sicang looked different from others, in such a chaotic situation, they hung their heads and pressed their hats very low, which was not noticeable. It's easy to blend in with the crowd here, but it's not easy to find Na Tahiri. Wei Huaizhen looked around and whispered to Beidou: "Master, what should I do next?" ”
Beidou didn't raise his head, and said in a low voice: "Wait." ”
Wait? Wei Huaizhen was really a little surprised. It's not easy to get into this room, time waits for no one, and it will be more dangerous to stay for a moment, and he really doesn't know why the master still says something to wait. However, they are all wearing Ashina's costumes, which are inconspicuous here, and if they go further west into the enemy's main camp, they will be too conspicuous, and they will have to wear them at once. Wei Huaizhen looked around, and the surrounding Ashina people were all huddled in groups and said something. According to the military discipline of the Wude Battalion, such wanton noise in the army should be punished very heavily, but Ashinabu obviously does not have such military discipline, and he is talking more and more energetically, and it sounds like most of them are talking about the power of Chu Capital. Chu Capital City and Ashina are really inextricably linked, Emperor Xue basically has half of Ashina blood, these Ashina tribe actually have many people who don't want to attack Chu Capital, but they have to come, so some are already complaining.
Wei Huaizhen was listening, and suddenly a cannon shot sounded from the direction of Chu Capital. The cannon came very suddenly, and the surrounding people who were noisy Ashina also closed their mouths, and they didn't know what was happening, many Ashina people who were sitting on the ground stood up and squeezed towards the camp gate to the east, wanting to see what was happening, and the scene was even more chaotic. At this moment, I heard someone shouting: "Chu Capital City is attacking, Ashina is ready to fight!" ”
Sortie? Wei Huaizhen almost screamed. With the current strength of Chu Capital City, he actually dared to attack, but I am afraid that even Ashina didn't expect it. What surprised Wei Huaizhen even more was that the person who spoke was clearly Gamberlei, who had come to the capital of Chu to write a book. At a glance, I saw Gamberley and a few attendants passing through the camp on horseback, and he should have seen that there was an abnormality in the city of Chudu, so he hurried back to the main camp to report, and he was already almost at his side. Wei Huaizhen and Gambray once looked at each other, for fear of being recognized by Gambleigh, so they hurriedly lowered their heads. Fortunately, Gambray led his entourage to pass through the Ashinabu camp in a hurry, and he didn't pay attention to these people on the side at all.
Just after Gamberlei, Beidou said in a low voice: "Xue Shuai has attacked, ready to go inside!" ”
Wei Huaizhen was stunned. Although the master has been in Xiyuan for a long time, the master's Xiyuan dialect is very reluctant, and now he actually understands it at once. He hurriedly followed, and said behind Beidou: "Master, why did Xue Shuai attack at this time?" ”
"Create a moment for us."
Wei Huaizhen was stunned again, and immediately realized. Indeed, it is not difficult for the four of them to blend into the Ashina Department, but if they want to blend into the camp of the Sunflower Dynasty Expeditionary Force, the possibility is very small. Xue Diji opened the city at this time, although there was absolutely no possibility of victory, and he only consumed his strength in vain, but at least it could cause temporary chaos to the enemy army. With the military discipline of Ashina, after being impacted, they will definitely walk around, and there will be a chance to blend in with the enemy's Chinese army. Gambray was still shouting for Ashina's troops to be ready for battle, but now where can the camp of Ashina's department still talk about the word "strict formation", and it is even more chaotic. Xue Diji led the most powerful musket cavalry in the Chu capital city to rush over, and he would definitely be able to tear this place in half in one fell swoop.
However, at this time, Xue Diji also knew very well that even if he could flush Ashina into pieces, it would not help the predicament of Chu Capital. What's more, for Ashinabu, he also has a bit of the family affection of the state of his parents, and he really can't bear to be an enemy with him.
It's just that his own shoulders are already the only hope for Chu Capital City. Although Situ Yu told him that there was no need to win this trip, as long as he caused as much chaos as possible to the enemy, so that Mr. Beidou and his actions could be convenient, but in Xue Diji's young heart, he was like a raging flame and arrogant.
Musket cavalry in the city of Chudu. This cavalry army of two hundred men was in the vast Western Plains, and it was a name that terrified those who did not have good intentions towards the Chu capital. Although the mortal enemy Fugu Department has always wanted to destroy Chu Ducheng, Helan Ruyu, who is in power in the Fugu Department, firstly considering that Chu Ducheng will directly face Ashinabu after the fall of Chudu, and secondly, he is also afraid of Chuducheng, a small but invincible elite army, which has been tolerated until now. Since Xue Tingxuan's death, Situ Yu also knew that although this musket cavalry was small in number, it was the guarantee for the survival of Chu Capital City, so he attached great importance to this team of men and horses, and trained extremely hard.
Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while. The musketeer cavalry attacked this time, and it was the first time since Xue Diji became the marshal. Now there is such a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, although the morale of the Wude Battalion is high after repelling the enemy's first attack, but now such an attack, especially with musket cavalry, will not make up for the battle situation if it wins, and if it is defeated, it will greatly damage the rare morale. But Xue Diji also knew that this was the last ray of life for the Wude Battalion, and if Beidou and them failed, the Wude Battalion would not be able to hold on for long even if it was stubborn.
Instead of lingering in the city, it is better to make a desperate bet, seize this slim glimmer of life, and then create a miracle like my father back then! Xue Diji's heart was already arrogant, and when the city gate opened, he shouted: "Musket ride, follow me!" ”
Although Xue Diji had never been on the battlefield, he practiced guns and horses almost every day. Xue Tingxuan was known as the "one-armed gun" in the West Plains, and his gunnery was well known. The teacher who can teach Xue Diji marksmanship said that now in terms of gunnery alone, Xue Diji has surpassed his father. After all, Xue Tingxuan was useless in one hand and could only hold a gun in one hand, but Xue Diji was able-bodied and young. With a shout, he was the first to rush out, followed by the four soldiers of the Golden Gun squad who were guarding him, followed by a musketeer knight carrying an electric flag. Although there were only about 200 people, the momentum of this group of men and horses when they rushed out of the city was like the sky was shattering. The soldiers of the Wude battalion in the city cheered in unison when they saw the commander charging in person, and for a while it seemed that it was not the Chu capital city that was besieged, but the Wude battalion was sure to win.
The best thing about musketeers is that they use muskets. The musket ignited the fuse with a stone, detonated the gunpowder and fired a lead pellet. If it is not as good as the reloader, the musket can be used as a normal spear when turned upside down. The Nishihara tribe was the heaviest cavalry, and no matter how strong the cavalry was in front of the musket, it was vulnerable. At the beginning, the 50,000 crusading soldiers in the Central Plains were under the capital of Chu, and Xue Tingxuan used this musket to ride in the crusade barracks. Whether it is Ashina or Fugu, they are extremely afraid of the musket ride, especially Helan Ruyu, who dreams of getting the secret of the musket, but Chu Ducheng keeps this secret very strictly, and has not leaked anything for so many years.
Even if 200 musketeers are not enough for the whole battle, it will make you scared! Xue Diji thought. His mount was extremely powerful, and he was the first to rush out, and this time he was already at the forefront. This is still his intention not to let the war horse gallop at full speed, so as not to pull too far behind him, Rao is so, he and the four golden gun squads are still three or four feet away from the brigade behind him. And less than a hundred paces ahead, there is the gate of the enemy's camp. Looking from afar, I saw some Ashina people crowding there, chaotic. Xue Diji raised his body on the horse and shouted: "Diji is here, those who stand in my way will die!" ”
Xue Diji said this in the Western original dialect. His mother was a member of the Ashina tribe, so when he was a child, he was more fluent in Xiyuan. Xue Tingxuan was included in the Ashina Department back then, so to be precise, Xue Diji's real name should be "Ashina Diji". At that time, Xue Tingxuan divided and co-opted the Ashi Department with subtle skills, and when the Ashi Nabu wanted to elect a new Great Khan, some people proposed that the new Great Khan must meet three conditions, one is that there must be a clan bloodline; the second is that he must have been born in Ashina and never left; The third was the peace talks with the Fugu Ministry at that time, and the new Great Khan could not have a blood feud with the Fugu Ministry. As a result, the candidate proposed by Xue Tingxuan was Xue Diji, who met these three conditions and was still in infancy. It's just that although Xue Tingxuan controlled the real power of Ashinabu with his wrist, it also caused the dissatisfaction of the powerful people in the ministry, so when Xue Tingxuan's eastern crusade failed and the strength of the Chu capital city was greatly damaged, Ashinabu no longer recognized Xue Diji, the Great Khan, and chose another clan as Khan, and later he was ashamed to mention this matter. But in any case, Ashina Tiji used to be the Great Khan of Ashina, and people over thirty years old in Ashina knew it clearly. However, when they were children, they heard that the tribe had such a big sweat, but they had never seen it, and when they heard the name "Diji", they were all shocked, and said in their hearts: "This young man is Xue Tingxuan's son?" ”
Xue Tingxuan is ruthless and vicious, unscrupulous, and legend has it that the Khan of Ashina at that time was also assassinated by Xue Tingxuan, so Ashina really hated him. It's just that the people of Xiyuan are the most heroic, Xue Tingxuan is heroic and resourceful, and it makes Ashina's heart break very much, so their feelings about Xue Tingxuan are really indescribable, Xue Tingxuan collapsed in his prime, and Ashina was both relieved and a little regretful when he heard the news. Now that Xue Tingxuan's son has also grown up, they really want to see what this young man looks like, even if he is an enemy, they all hope that this young man will not lose his father's name.
The five Ashina tribes had already fought and stepped forward to meet them. These people are all good hands in Ashina's department, two of them use iron barbed rods, the other two use spears and hammers, and one of them rushes to the front with spears. The people of the Western Plains live on nomadism and eat mainly milk meat, so their bodies are generally taller than those of the Central Plains, and their strength is much greater. Although Xue Diji has not really gone through the battle formation, he has been practicing guns and horses almost every day over the years, and when he saw the Ashina people with spears, he knew that this person must be the strongest and must be solved first. He was holding the musket upside down at this time, and after the musket was reversed, it was like an ordinary spear, and Xue Diji's war horse was also as fast as the wind, and as soon as the five people rushed out of the camp gate, Xue Diji had already rushed to the front. The Ashina people who were holding spears were about to shoot their guns, but as soon as the spear in Xue Tingxuan's hand stretched out and retracted, it stabbed the man's throat.
This is a type of snake gun that is widely circulated in the Wude camp. Xue Diji began to practice this gun on a pony at the age of five, and has been working for sixteen years now. The pony had grown into a Storm Chaser, and the number of haystacks that Xue Diji could stab had increased from one to five. Although the gun-wielding Ashina soldier is not weak, at this speed, he is also similar to a haystack, and before he can react, he is about to be shot, and the person turns over and falls off the horse.
Almost at the same time, the four golden gun squads behind Xue Diji had also arrived. "Bang bang" a few times, they did not want to fight with the enemy like Xue Diji, and as soon as they came, they shot out the muskets. At this distance, the opponent could still dodge, but the musket could not dodge at all, and the four Ashina soldiers who used iron barbed rods and spears were all hit by the muskets. Three of them were at the critical point, and immediately fell off their horses, and one of them was wounded in the right chest with a spear, and he did not fall off his horse for a while, but still rushed towards Xue Diji. Xue Diji waited for him to rush closer, and with a spear at the front of the spear and hammer, he swept the man off his horse and shouted, "Rush! ”
The five Ashina soldiers who fought against him were all good at the department, otherwise they would not have caught up so quickly, but with five against five, these five people were so vulnerable, and the Ashina tribe was immediately shaken. During the siege of the city, there was the Sunflower King army behind to supervise the battle, there was no retreat, and they had to step forward, but Xue Diji was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and killing people was also devastating, these Ashina people couldn't help but think of the legendary sinister and cunning, but heroic and invincible one-armed spear Xue Tingxuan came, how could there be a fighting spirit, the camp was like a pond that was thrown into a boulder, although it was only a splash, but it immediately caused fluctuations in the entire lake. Now the camp of Ashina is also like a pond, although it can't be said to be chaotic, but it is also completely disorganized, and no one can suppress it.
Ashina served as the striker this time, and the camp was rooted in the outermost part. This camp is separated from the Chinese army of the Sunflower King Army by a fence, and at this time, there are already hundreds of Sunflower King troops waiting for the fence. Tai Xili, the commander of the Sunflower King Army, was in this army, sitting on a large chair, and said to Gamberley on the side: "Bolei, Chu Capital City has really attacked?" ”
"Yes," said Gambray. ”
This seemingly weak Chu Capital City actually went out of the city to meet the attack, Tai Xili really never thought of it. He took the binoculars and looked in front of him, the Ashina camp in front of him was crowded, and it seemed that many people were rushing here. He frowned, and said coldly: "Pass the order, if you dare to take a step here, kill!" ”
Ashina had a battle with the Sunflower Dynasty, and that battle that lasted not long almost became a one-sided massacre by the Sunflower King's army, so that even the hard-hearted Tai Xili was a little unbearable, and made an exception to persuade people to surrender in advance. It was this battle that made Tai Xili feel that the Sunflower King's army was really an invincible existence in Xiyuan, and there would be no opponent at all, so he also asked Gamberley to come to persuade Chu Capital City first. However, Chu Ducheng not only refused to be persuaded to surrender, but now he actually took the initiative to attack.
If not madmen, they must have a purpose. As the Three Holy Emperors said, with the current strength of Chu Capital City, the only opportunity to win is to assassinate the enemy's main general. The only way to achieve this desperate goal was to charge with the only remaining strength and disguise the Assassin's tracks. If the retreating Ashina people are desperate to rush into the Chinese army, even if they are not assassins, they are also chaotic troops, and they don't have to show mercy.
Thaishiley thought, a smile already on his lips. Chu Du's every move was almost as if he was acting according to the script written by the Three Holy Emperors, and now he was waiting for the assassin to appear. Although you can not take this risk, but in order to do it once and for all, you still use yourself as a bait. Because what Chu Ducheng can send must be their most elite assassins, if they don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, they won't have a second or third time.
Thinking of this, he whispered: "Boray, everything is arranged?" ”
Gambray nodded and said, "It's arranged, General Xili, please rest assured." He paused and said in a low voice: "It's just one thing, General Xili, the rushing army of Chu Capital City is so sharp, to my surprise, those barbarians are not their opponents at all, and they will rush here soon." ”
"Yes," said Taysley, "they have muskets too. ”
As soon as the words fell, there was another "bang" of musket firing, and this time it was extremely close. It was the musketeers who broke through Ashina's department and were about to rush to the Chinese army. Hearing the sound of muskets, both Thailey and Gambaret couldn't help but be a little moved.
Ashina didn't have firearms, so it was naturally a sure thing to win against them with muskets, but the fact that the stormtrooping army of Chu Ducheng came so quickly also surprised them. At this time, some of Ashina's troops had retreated to the front of the Chinese army, and they were in a mess, with all foot and horse, all out of order. Fortunately, the number of people is not very large, but dozens, and the vast majority should be scattered to both sides. As soon as these dozens of people retreated into the Chinese army, an officer of the Sunflower King's army shouted: "Spread out on both sides, don't disturb General Tai Xili!" ”
The officer's Nishihara dialect was far less than that of Gambler, but it was enough to hear clearly. Those Ashina people were defeated and retreated all the way, and they were really frightened of the musket cavalry in the Chu capital city, and they could let others resist the musket cavalry that was overwhelming all the way, and they couldn't ask for it, and when they heard the crowd, they immediately split into two, letting go of the hundreds of Sunflower King troops stationed in the middle of the Chinese army, and scattered to both sides.
Just as these Ashina troops retreated into the Chinese army, a sound of horses' hooves had surging like a torrential rain swept by a strong wind, and it was the musketeer riders.
The musketeers were already like red-hot blades inserted into solidified grease, and they rushed straight all the way, and the strength of the two hundred or so still had about one hundred and ninety, and the losses were negligible. Xue Diji was still charging forward, and his armor was already stained with blood.
The blood is still not congealed, and it still smells fishy. Xue Diqi never thought that the charge would be so smooth. Dozens of paces ahead, there was an unexpectedly empty space, and some Sunflower King troops were standing behind the fence. These Sunflower King troops were completely different from the panicked Ashina troops, and although the musket riders were about to approach, they didn't even move. And just behind the group, there were squire-like men surrounding a man in ornate armor. Everyone was standing or riding horses, but this man sat on a large chair. Obviously, this person is most likely the commander of the Sunflower King Army, Tai Xili.
Beidou, they should have already arrived here. However, Xue Diji's heart seemed to have erupted into flames. The enemy's main general is so close, just stab this main general to death, even if Beidou fails to succeed, it doesn't matter.
Xue Diji only felt that the palm of the hand holding the musket was already full of sweat. He practiced his gun and horse skills perfectly, and even the leader of the Golden Gun Squad who taught him gun skills praised him for his blue potential. Now he was only a few dozen steps away from the enemy commander named Tai Xili, and with his fast horse, it was really an overnight success. Originally, Situ Yu told Xue Diji that the task of the musketeers was to cause chaos among the enemy forces as much as possible, and they had to withdraw in time. Now that he had reached this place, it was far deeper than expected, and Xue Diji could not resist the temptation to stab the enemy's commander to death in one fell swoop, so he could no longer care about everything, raised his musket, and kicked the horse's belly with both feet.
The effective range of the musket was only a few dozen paces. A little further on, the enemy will be killed with a single shot. Xue Diji was still a young man, and when he was in his prime, when he thought of this, he ignored everything else, and immediately rushed towards the fence again. The golden gun squad behind him has been guarding his side, and he should have come here to fight his way out of the encirclement in time while the sharp spirit was still there, but the big man actually rushed forward, how dare they disobey. As soon as Xue Diji and the Golden Gun Class rushed up, none of the musket riders were left behind, and everyone fought bravely. Although it was only a cavalry of less than 200 people, it was as powerful as a thousand troops. It's just that before he could hit his horse, his heart suddenly hurt, and the mount also let out a miserable hiss, and he rolled to the ground on his side, suppressing Xue Diji. This horse is extremely tall and divine steed, and when Xue Diji fell, he could still dodge, and with a "click", Xue Diji's left leg was also crushed.
When the musket rode in front of the fence and started a charge, the leading officer of the Sunflower King's army behind the fence couldn't help but be a little moved when he saw this momentum. In the previous battle with Ashinabu, Ashina had also attacked with cavalry, but those nomads who had lived on horseback all their lives still could not match the momentum of musket riding when they charged. It's just that the Sunflower King's army has the most outstanding military merits, and no matter how big or small the officers are, they all rise from the battlefield. Seeing that the musketeers were about to rush towards him, the officer did not panic, drew his sword and raised it, shouting: "Fire!" ”
There was a loud "bang", and the first row of Sunflower Kings behind the fence fired. They used muskets as well. The muskets of the Wude Battalion also needed to use flint to ignite the fuse, and sometimes the fuse was damp or broken, and it would be dumbfired. The Sunflower King's musket did not need to be ignited, and there were very few mute fires, and when this shot was released, it was even more uniform, so that only a loud bang was heard. The first row was originally kneeling on one leg, but after firing a shot, the bent legs kept going, and the people took advantage of the situation to retreat to the rear, and the soldiers in the row behind them stepped forward and knelt on one leg, and another row of muskets was released.
The Wude Battalion also has a three-fold formation, that is, three rows of soldiers take turns to release muskets, which is very similar to the formation of the Sunflower King's army. However, due to the inconvenience of the musket loading and ignition of the Wude Battalion, the gap in the Triassment Array was very large. When Yuan Kezhen, who was skilled in craftsmanship in the city of Chudu, died, there was no skilled craftsman who could take over Wu Yuan Kezhen, and later the musket and the three-fold array could not be improved. The Sunflower King's army has five stacks of formations, and their muskets are much more powerful than those of the Wude Battalion, and the medicines are all loaded in one part in advance, and they only need to be filled, and the efficiency is much higher than that of the three-fold array. Five rows of men took turns firing muskets, and in just a few moments, three rounds had passed, and each of them had fired three shots. But with only three rounds of muskets, the musketeers in front of them had already fallen four-fifths of the way. Outside the fence, some of the musketeers were shot by their mounts, and even the men and horses fell to the ground, while others were shot by the riders, and the horses lost their control and ran wildly, neighing from time to time. And Xue Diji fell under the bombardment of the first round of muskets. The remaining thirty or forty musketeers were at a loss. The musketeer ride is really like a myth in the West Plains, and the Musket Riders themselves firmly believe that even though the overall strength is not as good as Ashina and Fugu, the Musket Riders are still invincible in the West Plains. They never dreamed that the musketeers would be vulnerable in front of the Sunflower King's army, and even though they escaped this round of onslaught, their courage and confidence had been lost. In a daze, a flash of fire suddenly rose into the sky from the front.
It was a flare released by Xue Diji. In addition to the musket cavalry, Chu Capital City also has one of the most powerful weapons called Fire Sky Thunder. The Fire Sky Thunder is a change from the flying plane of the Wind Legion in the past, which can fly miles away, but it needs to be accurately located, and there are only more than 20 Fire Sky Thunder in Chu Capital City. This is the last hand, and when the fire and thunder fall, they can't distinguish between friend and foe at all, and if they can't escape before, even they will die under the bombardment. But although Xue Diji is young, the arrogance in the bones of the Wude Camp has not diminished, and he has felt that his left leg has been broken, and the musket cavalry that came with him has also been lost. He had a musket in his heart, and the person was also pressed by the mount and couldn't move, knowing that he would die, but his heart was even more unwilling. Although he did not have the strength to raise the musket and cast it, he only needed to ignite the flare, and the flare was immediately released.
It was broad daylight, and the flare was not very visible, but it exploded in mid-air, condensing into a cloud of smoke that did not disperse for a long time. Seeing that the leading enemy was about to give out such a signal before he died, Tai Shili was stunned and said, "Boray, what is he going to do?" ”
Although Gamberley had been to Chu Capital City once, this matter of fire and thunder was a secret, and naturally he would not know about it. But Gambray also knew that Xue Diji's move must have some intentions, and he picked up the binoculars and looked at it, but saw that the smoke had not dispersed much, and there was nothing else. I was surprised, and suddenly dozens of small dots flew from behind the smoke. His heart sank, and he shouted: "General Xili, this is the kind of thunder that can fly in Chu Capital City!" Dodge! ”
The firearms of the Sunflower King Army are much better than those of Chu Capital, but they have not developed a flying thunderbolt. Although no clues have been found in the city of Chudu, it has always been rumored in the west plain that there is this kind of flying thunder in the city of Chu, which can bombard the enemy army several miles away. At this time, seeing these bird-like dots flying in the air, Gambray immediately thought of this legend, and his heart sank.
Knowing that Gambray's heart was as careful as a hair, and most of what he said was true, he secretly said that this must not be guarded against, anyway, the enemy army had already lost the vast majority, and was about to give the order to let the troops in front of the fence retreat, when he suddenly heard the guards around him shouting: "Stop! "Loud is eager. Tai Xili turned his head to look, only to see a member of Ashina rushing towards him.
This person is none other than Beidou. Beidou has been following the opportunity to attack, but Tai Xili's side is so tightly guarded that Ashina's people are not allowed to step forward at all, although they retreated, they have not been able to get close to Tai Xili, and Beidou is already very anxious. When he saw that Xue Diji had failed to charge, he would not survive, and his heart was even more on fire.
Beidou's identity in the first half of his life was extremely complicated, and he was once a member of the Central Plains Crusade Army that attacked the capital of Chu. Later, he was inspired by Xue Tingxuan to return to obedience, but he still had an identity that no one knew, serving a foreign race. It's just that when Xue Tingxuan's eastern crusade failed, and on the way back, he was attacked by Helan Ruyu, the servant of the army, and when he was about to be annihilated, Beidou finally decided to tie his fate to Xue Tingxuan and advance and retreat together. Since then, he has never had a second heart, when the generals of Chu Capital City withered one by one, he and Situ Yu supported the precarious Chu Capital City until now.
Now, it is the last moment of Chu Capital City. With Beidou's ability, he also knew very well that it was impossible for him to turn the tide. When he saw the combat power of the Sunflower King Army, Beidou was even more desperate. Such a well-disciplined army, even if it was really able to assassinate the enemy's commander, it was only a little trouble for them, but it still could not stop the surging castration of this large army. However, even though he knew that he could not do anything, he was still unwilling.
Even if it's the last fight, do your best! At this time, he and Chen Sicang were mixed in the dozen or so Ashina tribes, and Wei Huaizhen and Tuokeziwende didn't know where they were, so they shouldn't be able to get mixed here. But they were also blocked by the Sunflower King Army, and they couldn't get close at all. But what a skill Beidou is, with a single body, he has already flashed past the two Sunflower King armies guarding the periphery of Tai Xili, and rushed straight towards Tai Xili like a sharp arrow.
He moves so fast that he doesn't think twice about it. Although there were still twenty or thirty steps away from the Tai Killing Ceremony, a few ups and downs had already flashed to a distance of five or six steps in front of Tai Xili. Although he had been prepared, Tai Xili never imagined that this assassin would have such skills, although his guards were all strong, but it seemed that none of them could stop this assassin. In an instant, Tai Xili's face turned pale.
At the moment when Beidou's short knife was about to pierce Taehiri's heart, Gamble on the side screamed sharply, and a sword stabbed diagonally. The sword of the Sunflower King's army is much more slender than the sword of the Central Plains, and the sword of Gambray is only a sword without a blade. Such a sword can only stab but not cut, but in this way it will be faster. Although Beidou moves fast, Gambray is still the last to come. Beidou's short hair is no more than a foot, but Gambare's sword is more than three times longer. Although Beidou's skills are strong, he was blocked by Gambray, and he couldn't take a step forward immediately. Only three or four swords of Gambaret were blocked, and a few of Tai Xili's personal guards had also shot, and five or six fast swords came out together, piercing Beidou's body and stabbing Beidou like a spider.
Seeing that the assassin had been killed, Tahiri breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was the same as the Three Holy Emperors had expected, this assassin's skills were beyond his imagination. If it hadn't been for Gambray's timely action, he might not have been able to dodge the assassin's fatal blow. He was about to say something when Gambéré shouted, "Fall down! ”
It was a fire and thunder that had arrived. Originally, they could have avoided this place, but the sudden appearance of Beidou dragged them down, and the time was lost, and even if they fell, it might not be useful. As soon as a few people fell to the ground, they felt a loud noise, the earth was shaking, and black smoke billowed in front of them. When the sound passed, the people who fell to the ground looked up and gasped when they saw the image in front of them.
The fire thunder fell about twenty paces in front of the fence, which was actually where the remaining musketeers were. The musketeers could not escape the thunder bombardment that fell on their heads, but the Sunflower King's army behind the fence was also affected, and more than a dozen people were hit by scattered shrapnel. Seeing this, Tahiri muttered, "Burley, these barbarians still have such weapons!" ”
All the way east, they are all overwhelmed. First, because this expeditionary force was the most elite, and second, because they used far more weapons than the tribes along the way. However, this small Chu capital city not only has muskets, but also such flying thunder that even the Sunflower Dynasty has never had, which makes Tai Xili, who is full of confidence, a little shaken.
If the target is higher, maybe it will really end up together. Looking at the Chu Capital City in the distance, Tai Xili was already furious, and shouted: "Pass the order down, and attack in an all-out way!" ”
This force, which can be said to be insignificant, turned out to be the most formidable enemy that the Sunflower King's army has encountered since its crusade, which Tai Xili did not expect. If he had always had the idea of surrendering Chu Capital before, then at this time he really understood that Chu Capital City actually had no intention of surrendering at all.
The sun has set in the west. In the afterglow, the red flag at the head of the city of Chu Capital was waving in the wind, like a raging fire, and like blood dripping.
