Chapter 185: Persuasion

Hu Yuwei regretted all the way, he had been wary of Ba Niu, but he did not watch out for Wei Wuzhou. He knew that a martial artist like Wei Wuzhou would find it difficult to come up with a strategy to lure the snake out of the hole, but he forgot that there was a bull behind him.

Depressed, he ignored the time, and by the time he got to the road behind the Five Cities, it was already dark. He couldn't find a suitable place to camp, so he had to lead his men and horses to hurry overnight.

After walking for another hour, he came to a place called Wumapo. The terrain is relatively stable, there is also good cover, it is completely a good place to set up camp, Hu Yuwei couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately ordered to set up camp after the valley pass in front. The crowd was also thunderous with joy.

But when mortals are in a relaxed mood, they will let their guard down, and Hu Yuwei completely forgot about the forest outside the valley mouth. His army quickly skipped the forest and pounced on the Wuma Slope, and just as they were unsaddled and dismounted, and were about to rest first, there was a sudden shout of killing from behind, and before they could see clearly, the other party had already killed in front of them.

Hu Yuwei was caught off guard by being killed, hurriedly got on his horse, and retreated all the way. More than 10,000 of his people were also washed away. By the time he got rid of the pursuers behind him, it was already early in the morning, and this night, he had run dozens of miles.

The wind was loud, the grass and trees were all soldiers, Hu Yuwei didn't dare to stay longer the next day, quickly whipped up, and went straight to the fork in the road.

At the fork in the road, Qu Bi Awu had been waiting for a long time, Hu Yuwei had become a frightened bird in the process of escaping, and when he saw Qu Bi Awu's military camp, he immediately changed his direction and went straight to the direction of Kangle.

After running all night, he was exhausted, and there were less than two thousand people left around him. At this time, Hu Yuwei no longer has the confidence he used to have, he is as anxious as a lost dog, busy as a fish that has slipped through the net, and a moment of respite is already a luxury for him.

"General Hu, why did you arrive at this time?" This voice was not very loud, but Hu Yuwei sounded like five thunderbolts, and his whole body was shaken. He hurriedly raised his head and looked ahead, only to see a red horse opposite, sitting a general with a golden helmet and golden armor, this person was tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a long, jewel-blue hair, hanging all the way over the horse's back, and a pair of eyes that were also jewel blue, looking at him with a smile.

"Could it be ......, are you Li Jiuyuan"?

Ba Niu smiled and nodded, affirmed his speculation, and said very kindly: "I originally wanted to subdue you, but my conscience does not allow it, but in order to give you a chance, you can rest for the night first, and we will meet here tomorrow afternoon."

Without waiting for an answer, he turned his horse and retreated.

When Hu Yuwei saw Ba Niu, he knew that his end had come, he couldn't help but laugh for a while, and then ordered his people to set up camp. This night, he slept very deeply, because he was tired, and because he had already made his end clear. He slept until the afternoon of the next day, until the men under his tent came to report that the enemy was already outside the camp, and then he stretched his waist, bathed and changed his clothes slowly, and then led his men to the camp outside the tent.

Hu Yuwei faced Ba Niu again, and his heart was already a lot calmer. He looked at the fat man next to him, knew that it was Liu Xilie, and looked at the five hundred elite soldiers beside him, all of them heroic and martial, knowing that he was in a catastrophe, so he simply let it go.

"Lord Wang, your prestige is known to the world, and it is also an honor to be able to let you come today. I don't know what the prince is going to do with it"?

"I'll give you a chance", Ba Niu smiled coldly: "You are a marksman, known as a hundred steps through Yang, then we will use arrows to solve it."

Ba Niu took off his carved bow, drew an arrow, and then looked at Hu Yuwei. Hu Yuwei couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, although he knew that he was in a catastrophe today, but he still felt that it was very worthwhile to be able to let Ba Niu back his back. - He is still very confident in his archery.

He slowly took off his bow, then drew his bow and arrows, spotted the bull, and shot it with a "whoosh". This arrow came suddenly, and the speed was extremely fast, if it hadn't been prepared, Ba Niu would have been doomed. When he heard the sound of the bowstring, he immediately leaned back, dodged the arrow, and then leaned around, lay on his side on the horse, stretched his arms hard, pulled a full bow, and shouted: "General Hu, you shot through Qu Boyu's throat, and this arrow will also shoot through your throat"!

As he shot an arrow, Hu Yuwei fell down, and the arrow also pierced his throat.

"Everyone shoots him an arrow, how Qu Boyu died, how he will die"! With his order, arrows rained down, and in a moment, Hu Yuwei also became a hedgehog.

Seeing that the Lord was about to be shot to death, Hu Yuwei's subordinates knelt down and surrendered, but Ba Niu, in spite of his rage, still contained them and incorporated them into his own army.

After capturing the five cities of Wulongpo, Ba Niu ordered all five cities to be destroyed, and then went straight to the mouth of Huai'en. Huai'enkou guard Tan Ruisong opened the door and surrendered, Ba Niu named him the original, the general, still led the headquarters of the people, held Huai'enkou, and he continued to move forward, rushing towards the Yuema River.

Huang Hanyuan was connected to three cities by Ba Niu, how can he still sit still? He immediately personally led 50,000 horses to the Yuema River, intending to stop the momentum of Ba Niu.

Ba Niu's mother's surname is Huang, and Huang Hanyuan is his own brother, that is, Ba Niu's uncle, so before Ba Niu attacked Wuguan, he wrote a long letter to express his respect for Huang Hanyuan, hoping that he could borrow the way to himself and let himself attack Dadu. But now Huang Hanyuan has too many problems to consider, he is already a hegemon, and his nephew came to him as a conscript, although he did not explicitly make him surrender, but he had a great sense of contempt, so his reply was very arrogant. He said: Since you know that you are the nephew of the Huang family, you should visit the door, and now as long as you borrow the Tao, how can this reason be justified? It's not that you can't borrow the way of your uncle's family, but if you borrow it, how can you pay it back? It's better not to borrow it.

Ba Niu hit a nail, so he didn't do any further communication and sent troops directly. Huang Hanyuan didn't expect him to be so reckless, so he didn't react until this time.

His coping strategy, though late, was not without effect. The reinforcements of 50,000 people, plus the 30,000 people in the Yuema River, and the 80,000 people who defended the city, still caused a lot of trouble to Ba Niu.

This offensive and defensive battle lasted for three months, during which Ba Niu used large siege engines and rams, and set up ballistas and stone generators to punch a gap in the city wall and cause heavy losses to the people in the city. However, Huang Hanyuan persevered. Ba Niu attacked the wall during the day, and they took it back at night. The gaps that were punched during the day, they patched up at night. His subordinates were not intimidated by the opponent's strong strength at all, but became more and more courageous the more they fought, and batches of people fell, and batches of people made up for it.

Ba Niu couldn't help but be moved, but he did not relent, but strengthened the offensive. This offensive and defensive battle was finally decided in the fourth month.

The first to ascend the city was Liu Xilie, who threw the banner in the city, and the morale of the Dongduo people immediately doubled, and like ants, they climbed up from the gap.

After the city gate was opened, Ba Niu rode into the city with a whole team of jujube red horses. At this time, Huang Hanyuan had already escaped from the Yuema River and returned to his Jinji Ridge.

Ba Niu still used his generals to defend the Yuema River, and he continued to move forward, and the next target was his uncle's lair, Jinjiling.

Since Jinji Ridge is called Ling, it is naturally surrounded by mountains. Although this city is not as dangerous as the previous cities, it is stronger than the four cities. Huang Hanyuan has been operating here for many years, and it can be said that he has a large number of soldiers and sufficient reserves. He is confident that he can hold this last line of defense.

Ba Niu also believed that he could defend for a long time, so he decided to take the sword sideways, not to attack the city, but to attack the heart. Huang Hanyuan is his own uncle, and this relationship must be used, so he wrote another long letter, but this time, the object of his letter was not his uncle, but his aunt.

The letter talked about family affection, and told her that Huang Hanyuan had been forced to the last step, and there was no way to retreat, and if he didn't surrender, there was only a dead end. When the time comes, not only will the jade be burned, not only will it not be able to take into account family affection, but it will be difficult to ensure life and death.
