Chapter Ninety-Eight: How Courageous!
Ying Xuan led the heavy cavalry to gallop away.
……
And in the southeast, on a battlefield full of yellow sand.
Di Ren's eyes were serious, and he looked at the battle situation in front of him.
From time to time, scouts came to report.
But there was no good news.
Di Ren was slightly dissatisfied.
At this moment, one of the scouts suddenly said excitedly.
"Report!"
"King, the Huns' iron cavalry is a few miles away on the west side."
"It's really as the king of the right valley said, it's pouring out of the nest."
When Di Ren heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Di Qing on his side was also pleased.
A pair of eyes full of brilliance.
"Father, the Hu people didn't lie to us."
"They're really guarding."
"Now we can attack with all our might, right?"
Di Ren's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't speak.
Di Qing was a little anxious.
"Father, that Yingxuan is close at hand."
"If you miss this opportunity."
"It's hard to get rid of him again."
"You and I can't live peacefully in this life!"
looked at Di Qing with a ruthless face.
Diren knew that his son was really afraid.
After the Lou Fu family completely controlled Loulan.
Di Qingben had already begun to forget about it.
Thinking that no one would hand him over, he would no longer have to live in fear of the Qin people.
But when I saw it, Xiang Yu, who was like a humanoid chariot, had one person and one halberd, and he killed thousands of Loulan soldiers like that.
Almost unstoppable after rushing in front of them.
Di Qing began to have nightmares every day.
I'm afraid that as soon as I wake up one day, the Qin people will have already killed me.
The slightest bit of news from the Qin people is like a frightened bird.
This kind of torture made Di Qing almost collapse.
After hearing the news of Ying Xuan, Di Ren did not hesitate to say that he wanted to kill him.
A large part of the reason is because of Di Qing.
If it goes on like this, there is no need for the Qin people to kill it.
His only son was scared crazy.
And he's afraid of it himself!
Di Ren looked at the anxious and kept waving his right hand, and couldn't help but want to replace the son ordered by Di Ren.
Finally I was determined to speak.
"Herald!"
"The Hu allies are already in place."
"With them to escort us, we have no scruples."
"Boys from the Western Regions, kill as much as you want!"
"Crush the bones of these 50,000 Qin people and scatter ashes, and kill a Qingming world."
"Let these foreigners pay for their ambitions!"
The words fell.
One by one, the heralds burst out.
Tens of thousands of Allied troops, who were already approaching the city walls, suddenly began to retreat.
And in the camp of the great army.
Another 50,000 soldiers roared to join in.
Hold a wooden ladder and form a more fierce offensive.
The pressure on the defenders suddenly intensified.
On the wall, the Lord who remained behind will stand in the tower.
Observe each section of the wall through a narrow window.
Constantly dispatch orders to dispatch reserve soldiers and top up weak points.
At this moment, a bloodied lieutenant climbed up.
Said a little anxiously.
"General!"
"Is the time come?"
"There are too many enemies, and there are only enough arrows for an hour."
The Lord will not look back.
He watched in the distance and ordered a reserve hundred commander again.
"Go, press the enemy back in the western sector for me."
Bai Chang didn't say a word, turned around and led his subordinates away.
Then the chief general turned to look at the deputy general and said with a stern face.
"Whether the time has come or not, that's up to me to judge."
"Before you receive the order, you will die for me in the eastern section!"
"How much effort has Your Highness made?"
"For this moment."
"If it's because we're cowardly, we're ruining the overall situation."
"You and I are sinners through the ages!"
"Give me back!"
The harsh reprimand made the lieutenant open his mouth to say something.
But in the end, he sighed.
Without saying a word, he turned around and hurried back to the eastern section of the city wall.
The main general looked at the back of the lieutenant.
The right hand, clenched into a fist, tightened and tightened.
He also knows.
When the Yuejun army supported Henan, the strategy was to abandon the city and retreat if the defending soldiers encountered a strong enemy.
They were not expected to engage in such an intense siege of the city.
So there weren't many arrows left.
At this moment, facing an enemy several times their size, the soldiers are under great pressure.
Arrows, stones are simply visible to the naked eye.
If it goes on like this, let alone stick to it for a few days.
Whether or not you can stay until dark is a question.
But the Lord will know the same.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not know how much effort it took to lead the army deep behind enemy lines.
Henan didn't know how many soldiers were sacrificed before he repelled the royal court.
And now, the time has come to reap the fruits.
Whether or not the great trouble in the Western Regions can be solved depends on this battle.
The army of the East is desperately rushing here.
And the only thing I have to do is to hold them back.
Drag to close on three sides.
The Lord looked at the enemies who had already rushed more and more to the walls, and his expression became more and more determined.
"Herald!"
"Roll the wood and boil the oil up the city walls."
"All the reserve soldiers are on top."
"No matter what, we must force the Western Regions to throw all 200,000 troops into this battle."
The voice fell.
The last 10,000 soldiers in the rear immediately carried the rolling logs and boiling grease up the city wall.
The soldiers on the city wall saw this.
Began to fight back hard.
Again crush the enemy outside the walls.
Not much.
A neat line of fire appeared on the city wall of Dunhuang.
The rolling wood, wrapped in grease, fell without hesitation.
Flames roared, flying wildly above the heads of the enemy.
Originally, the people of the Western Regions who used wooden ladders one by one completely covered the side city walls like creepers.
At this moment, his eyes widened, and he wanted to retreat in horror.
But before they could dodge, the terrifying weight fell with a high temperature that could not be touched.
The people of the Western Regions fell like raindrops.
The entire western wall was emptied in an instant.
The piercing screams became the dominant color of the battlefield at this moment.
Rolling logs are burning.
The flames are expanding.
Those enemies who were smashed down, even if they were lucky enough not to be stoned to death, were now swallowed by the splatters of grease.
Beneath the walls of the city formed a wall of fire, fueled by human flesh.
The smell of burnt meat filled the battlefield.
But everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but gause.
Di Ren in the back had an ugly face.
There are only 50,000 people on the other side.
It was also scattered and guarded on three walls, and it was able to withstand several waves of attacks from an army of 100,000.
Then.
The siege generals on the other flanks also came to report back.
They were met with stubborn resistance.
If this continues, even if the city is captured, the casualties will be too great.
But Di Ren scolded.
"Keep attacking!"
"Send another 50,000 people."
"Their main force is going to support Henan, and it is impossible to be empty-handed."
"There aren't too many arrows left in the city."
"They won't last long!"
The general who returned was a little hesitant and wanted to say something.
At this time, Di Qing on his side was suddenly overjoyed.
Pointing to the western wall, he shouted.
"Look!"
"The arrows have stopped!"
People suddenly turned to look.
On the western wall, the arrows that had been like rain were completely stagnant at the moment.
Even the soldiers of the Western Regions passed through the rolling logs and continued to climb the city wall without any response.
It seems that there really is none.
Di Ren's face was overjoyed.
"What are you waiting for, I'll give the rest of the people!"
"Surround me with the eastern wall."
"I don't believe how long they can stay!"
The voice fell.
The generals around were a little surprised.
"Alliance leader, no!"
"150,000 troops are enough to siege the city."
"The remaining 50,000 soldiers still have to guard around, if they are also sent, if there are still enemies around, we will have no power to fight back!"
But at this time, he didn't wait for Di Ren to speak.
Di Qing glared.
shouted with a hideous and excited face.
"What to guard against!"
"Didn't you hear, there are 150,000 Hu cavalry on the north side?"
"With them, who can rush over on their side!"
"The top priority is to break through this city and capture the eldest son of Great Qin."
"What's the use of catching him, even if the Qin army arrives?"
"Don't go yet!"
Di Qing's reprimand made the generals turn pale.
But nothing moved.
But Di Ren also said at this moment.
"There is no need to wait for the enemy on your side to worry, and it will change later.
"Now is the time to take this city with all our might."
Di Ren looked at these generals selected by him after the defeat.
Eyes narrowed.
"Remember, your rights are given by me."
"In the same way, I can take it back at any time!"
The cold words made the generals of all countries helpless.
It can only be ordered, and the 200,000-strong army is all pressed.
Dunhuang is surrounded by four sides.
There is no gap left at all.
Enemies swarmed up with dense crowds that covered the earth like ant colonies.
Hold on to a garrison that is difficult to maintain on three sides.
Eventually, there was a big gap.
Soldiers from the Western Regions continued to rush to the city wall.
The lieutenant will fight to the death.
But I kept looking back, wanting to see the flag representing the signal on the castle tower.
The main general above the city tower looked at the constantly broken city wall and gritted his teeth.
up to the side.
A soldier shouted in return.
"The eastern wall was also besieged."
"The 200,000 troops of the Western Regions have all been pressed!"
The voice fell.
The Lord General was thrilled and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's done!"
Then there was a loud shout.
"Raise the flag!"
As a black flag was raised from the top of the tower.
The lieutenants of the four walls immediately roared excitedly.
"It's time, it's time!"
The words fell.
The soldiers retreated like a tidal wave, frantically rushing towards the city.
There are trenches and traps that have been prepared for a long time.
is their second line of defense.
Di Ren watched, after the 200,000 army was all pressed.
Sure enough, quantitative changes caused qualitative changes, and the Qin people quickly collapsed.
It's almost a cup of tea.
The walls completely changed hands.
Everywhere stood the soldiers of the Western Regions.
Di Ren laughed heartily.
Di Qing couldn't help jumping up excitedly.
"It's broken!"
"Dunhuang City is broken!"
"Herald!"
"Find Ying Xuan and capture the eldest son of Da Qin!"
"I'm going to kill him with my own hands!"
Di Ren had no intention of stopping his son from venting.
It's very gratifying.
His son was a bit bloody at that time.
"Spread the message to the king of the right valley."
"Tell him the good news."
"Let him see what they Huns can't do."
"Half a day is enough for my soldiers in the Western Regions!"
"Hahaha!"
Di Ren smiled from ear to ear.
The generals of the surrounding Western Regions are also overjoyed at this moment.
They never thought about it.
The Western Regions still has the ability to defeat Great Qin.
And the day when this mighty empire will be trampled under its feet.
From now on.
The Western Regions became completely powerful.
They will also become the most important stroke in the history of the Western Regions.
Just when everyone was excited.
The southwest corner of Dunhuang.
The originally quiet forest suddenly flew with a large flock of birds.
It's as if some kind of giant beast is waking up.
The first to notice this scene was Di Qing.
Excited, he looked around.
I want to suppress and vent the fear that has been suppressed in my heart for a long time.
But I saw a large flock of birds suddenly appear and occupy the sky.
Slightly stunned.
Follow the flock of birds and look south.
Di Qing's face seemed to have been slapped a few times.
Instantly pale.
Immediately after that, it suddenly rose red.
He raised his hand in horror.
"Dear~dear~ Qin army!"
The flustered tone instantly attracted everyone.
The smiles on people's faces have not faded.
Then I saw the black army in the shape of arrows, rushing out of the forest.
Its sides are constantly expanding and expanding.
The tip of the arrow is speeding up like crazy.
Di Ren's eyes.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly widened.
Even at such a distance.
He could still see it.
At the tip of that arrow.
A stout man rushed to the front.
That's the last person he wants to see.
All those who had experienced the Battle of Loulan shuddered at this moment.
Some of the guards around him even wanted to turn around and flee immediately.
They know it all too well.
No one can stop these terrifying horsemen.
Di Ren swallowed hard.
Watch the enemies approaching quickly.
He also wanted to escape.
But with only a few thousand guards around.
Fleeing, but dying faster.
Di Ren no longer had a trace of joy.
The brain is spinning wildly.
Hair stands on end.
Desperately thinking about countermeasures.
At this time, it was too late to shout the Xiongnu army in the north.
By the time they arrived, they had already been torn in half by the feather.
But the 200,000 troops are all on the Dunhuang city wall at this moment.
It is impossible to withdraw so quickly.
What's more, there are still Qin troops in the city who are resisting.
At this moment, Di Qing, who was a little trembling, shouted out of his voice.
"The city walls!"
"Climb the walls!"
"They were cavalry, and they did not dare to chase them near the city walls."
"Otherwise, our army can easily defeat them!"
Di Qing's words made everyone sober up.
That's right.
At this moment, the only way to save your life is to climb the city wall.
Suddenly, thousands of people ran frantically towards the head of Dunhuang City.
And Di Ren is even more at the forefront of the horse.
Without waiting for the soldiers of the Western Regions to open the city wall from behind the gate.
He picked the nearest ladder.
Desperately climb up.
Turn back as you crawl.
I was afraid that when I turned around, I saw Xiang Yu standing behind him with a grin.
But at this time, those generals who had been staring at the southern cavalry.
But suddenly I found out.
The Qin people did not rush towards them.
Sixty thousand Qin people rode iron.
It's like laughing, teasing mice.
Rubbing past them.
Straight north.
Everyone was stunned.
The 200,000 soldiers on the city wall also temporarily stopped continuing to advance into the city after seeing these Qin reinforcements.
After all, no one wants to be caught between two sides.
They want to see the situation clearly.
But the scene in front of him puzzled everyone.
"The Qin people are not coming to rescue their eldest son."
"What are you doing north?"
No one could answer, but Di Ren suddenly burst out laughing.
"Stupid!"
"That Xiang Yu must have gotten the wrong information."
"He didn't know that there were 150,000 Hun iron horsemen over there!"
"He's looking for death!"
When the words fell, people immediately reacted.
"Yes, the Hun army is over there."
"Their 60,000 cavalry, still want to challenge the 150,000 Huns?"
"The Huns are known as a nation on horseback, but it's not just talking!"
And at this time in the Hun army.
The Right Valley Liking also received a return from the scout.
"Dunhuang is broken! Di Ren really hit it! ”
"Hahaha!"
King Liwang of the Right Valley couldn't help but laugh a few times.
"It's done."
"Next, we just need to watch the show and see the right time, don't let Di Ren lose too quickly!"
But that's not the end of the story.
Another scout rushed anxiously.
"Report! Sixty thousand Qin cavalry attacked from the south! ”
The king of the right valley was stunned.
"So fast?"
But immediately laughed.
"Okay, let's see how Di Ren responds to this first wave."
But before he could finish speaking, the scout spoke aloud.
"The Qin people did not attack the Western Regions allies."
"They avoided Dunhuang City and rushed towards us!"
The scout's words made the king of the right valley, including the henchmen on his side, stunned.
"Why are they coming to us without the trouble of the Western Regions?"
The right valley king suddenly sneered.
"How daring!"
"They know that the Western Regions dare to fight Yuejun because we are here."
"Moreover, if they don't defeat us, they will never want to pick up the army of the Western Regions at will."
"Who is the opposing general?"
"I can see it so clearly, it's a character."
"However, he doesn't think too much of himself."
"60,000 people, just trying to repel us?"
The right valley king stood up.
Once again, he became the terrible leader who conquered the world and constantly pushed all the kingdoms westward.
The eyes glared viciously to the south.
"Originally, I just wanted to rely on these Western Regions wastes to delay time."
"I didn't expect to get anything else."
"Soldiers!"
"Great Qin only has these 60,000 cavalry."
"I'm still alone at the moment."
"As long as we keep them here."
"When we arrive at Xianyang, we will go deep into Daqin."
"No one will be able to pose a mortal threat to me."
"Even if there is an accident, no one can catch up if you want to run!"
The Right Valley Liwang raised his head and glanced at all the generals.
"What do you say should happen at such a timing?"
The surrounding generals suddenly stood up one by one.
He said with ferocity.
"Kill!"
"Kill them!"
"Destroy the roots of Great Qin!"
"No worries."
The king of the right valley laughed.
Then he shouted.
"Good!"
"Today, let the Qin people see it."
"How did the soldiers on my right step on the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, step by step to the present!"
"Soldiers, go with this king."
"Chop off a few of his Qin people's heads to make wine!"
