Chapter Seventy-Six: There Is a City That Can't Be Returned

When interests conflict with beliefs, some people will give up their interests, while others will give up their beliefs.

And the choice of which one to give up depends on the size of the interest.

Not to mention the Great Khan, one of the eight major tribes like Wan Qi Haiyin, even the seemingly inconspicuous leader of the small tribe on the grassland treats the wolf court with more respect than faith.

On the contrary, the bottom of the grassland tribe such as Yu Zhenlei is extremely religious.

So he was furious at Li Yi's slander of the wolf court like this, because what has supported him since he was a child is his belief in the wolf king god.

In the past, he was ostracized by the clan because his mother was a slave of the Semu people, and his father did not treat him well, and he was even treated as a slave by the Yuzhen clan.

That's why he had the opportunity to learn Dayu from Dayu slaves, and also learned some Dayu knowledge.

But with the continuous death of the slaves around him, he finally realized a truth in a difficult environment: only when you become stronger, no one will bully you.

So every night after that, he prayed to the wolf king god devoutly, praying that he would become stronger, strong enough to take his mother out of this slave life.

I don't know if it was blessed by the wolf king god, and later Yu Zhenlei's body became stronger and stronger, and he never got sick in an environment of lack of food and clothing, and finally grew into a rare master in the Xianbei clan.

He also successfully led his mother to get rid of the status of a slave, and finally recognized his ancestors and was accepted by the Yuzhen clan, but unfortunately his mother died after a few years of happiness, but even if he was accepted by the Yuzhen clan, he still could not become a Xianbei general.

"Humph! No matter how you slander the Wolf Court now, after my grassland tribe has conquered the Great Danger, you will all have to worship the Wolf King God devoutly. ”

Yu Zhenlei, who was out of anger, suddenly said coldly unusually.

"Yu Zhenlei, shut up for me."

Wan Qi Haiyin suddenly shouted.

Seeing Wan Qi Haiyin's performance, Li Yi and An Su's brows couldn't help frowning.

"We have already guessed that you will attack Yuyang County tonight, so we have already prepared, and at this time, the soldiers of your grassland tribe are still fighting to the death."

Li Yi deliberately pretended to be proud, but his eyes kept staring at Wan Qi Haiyin's face.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Yi finished speaking, he noticed that Wan Qi Haiyin's face showed a hint of a mocking smile, and his smile was fleeting.

Seeing his smile, Li Yi suddenly felt bad in his heart, he felt that the grassland tribe must have some other plans that he had not speculated.

"I'll rush back to Yuyang County as soon as possible, I'm afraid there will be something wrong if I go back late."

Although the dense fog in front of him was very large, Li Yi didn't want to delay any time.

Like him, the Muhua Li Falcon, who was traveling in the fog, was much more comfortable, and he was lying in a carriage at this time.

As the carriage tossed up and down, his sleepiness slowly came up.

Last night, because of Li Yi's attack on the camp, Muhua Li Falcon basically didn't sleep all night, and when he learned that his plan in Yuyang County was successfully carried out, he finally put his mind at ease.

At this time, more than 3,000 cavalry from the original Chinese army's big tent were escorting him, and he was heading west towards Shanggu County.

As time passed, the pale sun finally climbed above everyone's heads from the east.

And it has finally transformed from a miserable white with no temperature to a bright yellow that warms the earth.

The fog began to slowly dissipate in the warm sunlight, and everyone who had a vision of less than a few tens of meters could finally see for a hundred miles.

But when Li Yi's sight appeared on the city wall of Yuyang County, their originally hanging hearts finally fell.

Because he found that there were still a large number of grassland tribe soldiers outside the county town of Yuyang.

They are still trying to attack the county seat of Yuyang.

A large number of corpses have been turned gray and oozing under the baptism of night rain and night wind.

But every soldier in the head of Yuyang County was fighting hard with a hot breath.

And the heavy drums still came rhythmically.

When Li Yi and the others circled the city wall close to Yuyang County from the side, the grassland tribe soldiers who had attacked the city last night had been completely driven down by the Dayu defenders.

Because the rain had stopped at this time, the soldiers defending the city of Dayu were now all replaced with bows and arrows.

At this time, they were constantly shooting at the soldiers who had ascended the city with their bows and arrows.

And the urn city that had already been captured had also been emptied by the defenders of Dayu, and a large number of corpses were poured into the urn city.

The pile-up of corpses spread the entire floor of the urn city a whole section higher.

Although the head of Yuyang County is still in the hands of the Dayu defenders, there are corpses everywhere on the city wall.

Even the soldiers defending the city had to step on corpses when they walked.

The original 3,000 defenders of the city have all been killed, and the defenders at the head of the city have been replaced several times.

When the defenders at the head of the city saw a sudden gallop in the distance, hundreds of steppe cavalry immediately bent their bows and arrows and shot in the direction of Li Yi and them.

Seeing the soldiers at the head of the city shooting arrows at their side, Li Yi and the others realized that they were still wearing the clothes of the Tugu tribe.

"Brothers at the head of the city, we are not from the grassland tribe, we are the defenders of Dayu, please don't shoot arrows."

An Su immediately shouted loudly at the top of his voice.

Originally, he thought that after he revealed his identity, the soldiers at the head of the city would stop attacking.

As soon as his words fell, the feathered arrows at the head of the city shot towards them again like flying locusts, and this wave of feathered arrows was much more numerous than just now.

"You can't be stupid when we are, how can there be a Dayu defender who is coming from the direction of the grassland tribe!"

A captain at the head of the city shouted loudly.

"Shoot me, shoot to death, I can't be deceived by Lao Tzu, if you are a Dayu defender, I will be a Xianbei Khan!"

The lieutenant commanded the defenders at the head of the city to shoot arrows downward, and spat out thick phlegm at the city and said viciously.

Hearing the words of the captain at the head of the city, all the 500 cavalry present burst into laughter.

There is only the black line of Wan Qi Haiyin and Yu Zhenlei lying on horseback.

The lieutenant at the head of the city could not have imagined that the Xianbei Khan he was talking about was now under the city, and that he had heard his own wild words.

Seeing that the captain at the head of the city still refused to believe himself, Li Yi had to pull down his hood and step forward.

"I'm Li Yi of the Guigu Gate, please ask Lord Captain to invite Lord Song Shilong to come and confirm our identity."

"Guigumen Li Yi!? I have never heard of this name, Lord Song is still busy at this time, how can I have time to distinguish you people who don't know what to say! ”

The captain held his head high and looked like he was on top, and he was angry that Ansu and the other five hundred cavalry were smoking.

"My lord, two days ago, we did have a Li Yi and Li Gongzi in Yuyang City, I'm afraid it's this one!"

A man next to the lieutenant whispered to him.

"I don't care if he's Li Yi or Zhang Yi, they are wearing grassland costumes in my opinion, they are grassland fine works, keep shooting me, shoot these fine works!"

Instead of listening to the man's warning, the lieutenant let his men continue to shoot arrows.

"Well, your grandson in the city, listen to me, don't let me go back to the city, otherwise your grandfather An will definitely take your dog's head."

Ansu finally couldn't contain the anger in his chest, and shouted at the captain of the city.

"Look at what I'm saying, they're prairie work! I'll shoot them! You go and fetch two more guns. ”

The lieutenant commanded the other soldiers to continue shooting arrows at Li Yi and them.

"Haha! How ridiculous it is that you have gone to great lengths to enter our camp and take us captive, without thinking that your own people think you are meticulous! ”

Seeing the farce in front of him, Wan Qi Haiyin, who was tied up, couldn't help laughing.

"My lord, don't do it, I think it's better to report this matter to General Long and General Song!"

The soldier beside him obviously knew Li Yi, and he immediately admonished the captain.

"General Long Lao was still beating drums and cheering in the city gate tower at this time, and General Song was leading his men and horses to hunt down those grassland tribes who entered the pass, how do you let me report? And how do I think that these hundreds of people in the city are all fine works of the grassland, everyone should not be fooled and continue to shoot me. ”

The lieutenant kicked the soldier who had persuaded him to the ground, and then cursed and continued to direct the other soldiers to continue shooting arrows at Li Yi and them.

Seeing another rain of arrows coming towards him, Li Yi immediately commanded the cavalry to retreat.

"Today, the mountains will not turn around, and I will ask Your Excellency to report your name in the future, and I will talk to you about it."

Li Yi was also completely angered by the captain at the head of the city at this time.

"Hmph, it doesn't hurt to tell you, in Xia Du Ziteng, my father's military department is in charge of Gu Duhe."

The lieutenant said with a proud face.

"Du Ziteng, I remember you, today's incident will definitely be explained to you by someone Li in the future."

As Li Yi spoke, he turned his horse's head and headed towards the west, and the five hundred soldiers also turned their horses' heads and followed Li Yi.

"Li Gongzi, why don't I wait here any longer, maybe General Song will have a chance to come over soon!"

Helian Dong said puzzledly with his severed arm hanging from his neck.

"We can't stay here for too long, there are steppe cavalry all around, and once the big battalion of the steppe tribe passes the news of our attack on the camp, I'm afraid they will send out manpower to attack us."

"Childe, where are we going now?"

An Su was still indignant, he didn't expect that his people risked their lives to sneak attack the enemy camp and finally ended up in a situation where they couldn't enter the city and couldn't return to their homes.

"We're going to Ueya County right now."

Li Yi glanced back at Yuyang County, and couldn't help but feel an ominous feeling in his heart.

It stands to reason that even if they went out of the city to sneak attack last night, no matter how few people they knew, someone should be here to answer, but the fact is that no one answered, and there was not even anyone in the know.

If you want to say that Song Shilong is busy with military affairs and can't come over, it's okay, but even his senior brothers Jing Zizheng and Qi Ning Qi Chao are gone, which is not right.

What's even more strange is that Li Yi just observed the soldiers of the grassland tribe, and their number was far less than he had expected.

Li Yi took a general look, and now there should be less than 30,000 grassland tribe soldiers outside the city.

Even if there are many casualties in the siege, there should not be only such a small number of people, and judging from the situation last night, the number of the grassland tribe should be fifty or sixty thousand.

Although the gate of Yuyang County was broken, the gate of the inner city was still not breached.

"So where did the remaining nearly 20,000 people go? Could it be that the grassland tribe transferred 20,000 to Shanggu County again? Li Yi frowned and thought.

The war horse was galloping on the grassland on the side, Li Yi was constantly whistling in his ears, and his thoughts were flowing as fast as the wind in his ears, but no matter what, Li Yi couldn't sort out the clue from the chaotic thoughts, and he really couldn't understand the key to this.

The war horse ran for more than an hour and began to get a little tired, Li Yi and the others had to stop the war horse and rest.

Since yesterday they had gone to attack the enemy camp at night, they did not bring drinking water or dry rations.

It had just rained last night, and the grassland was full of puddles.

The water in these puddles had settled so clear that everyone knelt on the edge of the puddle and drank the water.

After drinking a full amount of water, Helian Dong stepped forward with his arms hanged.

"Li Gongzi, how should I enter the city when I go to Shanggu County like this? In Yuyang County, it will be recognized as a grassland fine crop, and if we are suspected in Shanggu County, we will still not be able to enter the city. ”

Helian Dong said worriedly.

"Yes, Childe, the defenders of Shanggu County don't know us either, how can they easily trust us?"

Ansu was also worried at this time, whether he would be able to enter the county seat of Ueya next.

Li Yi didn't care about whether he could enter Shanggu County at this time, he was still thinking about what happened to Yuyang County.

"Otherwise, we can just find a place to hide, and when the grassland tribe withdraws its troops on its own, we can return to the pass safe and sound."

One soldier couldn't help but joke.

"Hey, this is a troublesome thing and we can't go back to the city now, I don't know what those grandsons think, did he do it on purpose?"

Another soldier couldn't help but complain.

"What can they do with us on purpose, they want us to let us in, we can enter, and if they don't let us in, we really can't get in."

A soldier spread his hands and said helplessly.

"If you want us to enter, we can enter, and if we don't let us in, we can't enter? You want us in, you don't want us to go in, you want us to go in、、、、、"

Li Yi's big brain seemed to have a flash of lightning suddenly, and he kept whispering this sentence.

"I finally get it!"

Suddenly, Li Yi slapped his thigh and said loudly.

His sudden sound startled everyone around him.

"Childe, what do you understand?"

An Su asked Li Yi puzzled.

"I understand the real plan of the grassland tribe, and I also understand why there is no shadow of Deputy General Song in the city, and I understand even more why the number of the grassland tribe is one or two thousand less."

Li Yi said excitedly.

His words made Wan Qi Haiyin, who was tied up, couldn't help but have a gleam in his eyes.

Li Yi said that he had insight into the true plan of the grassland tribe, and although Wan Qi Haiyin didn't believe it, he also wanted to hear what Li Yi would say.

Everyone was all interested in Li Yi's words, and they gathered around to hear Li Yi's analysis.
