Chapter 137: Darkness Chen Cang
Seeing this firework, Lu Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, he actually shook a shot and rushed to the gate of Yaocheng.
To tell the truth, the enemy's arrangement here at the city gate was not very strict, because they never thought that Lu Yu would rush into the remote city and brazenly rush into their base camp! In fact, they also expected Lu Yu to do this, because as soon as Lu Yu entered the city, with such a small number of troops, it was absolutely impossible to defend the city to the death. What's more, although there is no main force left in the city, there are thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people, Lu Yu can't take the city but enters the city, so he will almost become a turtle in the urn.
After rushing into the city, Heng Seventeen Yong, who had been blind under Lu Yu, suddenly stood up, relying on the terrain of the city gate, and resolutely took three hundred headquarters to break off, although this is a mortal act, but it must be done, otherwise, an army that intends to flee has been chased and killed behind the buttocks, and the collapse is only sooner or later.
When Lu Yu rushed to the center of Yaocheng, Lin Fengjin and more than ten horsemen crashed out of the street corner in front of him, and with a wave of his hand, the leader of the more than ten horsemen shot out an arrow.
Suddenly, I saw that five or six carts were quickly pushed out behind them, stopped horizontally in the middle of the road, and then set them on fire, which looked to be full of flammable and igniting things, and immediately burst into flames, and spread towards the houses on both sides, successfully blocking the back road.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Fengjin didn't have time to say more, but just aimed at Lu Yu and shouted three words:
"Haruka Castle!"
Lu Yu immediately led people to gallop over there, and there was blood stains along the way, and even from time to time, exhausted mounts splashed blood and fell to their deaths!
In fact, this place in Yaocheng was originally called Yaocheng Castle twenty years ago, and it still belonged to Xirong, and the purpose of building it was a very simple military fort. Xirong's herdsmen can use this as a supply point to plunder and destroy the territory of Northern Qi.
And because this place is in the main traffic route, it was taken away by the Northern Qi fifteen years ago. Only then did it expand into a big city. However, the original Yao Castle was not demolished, but was rebuilt into a city guard, but also carried out various reinforcement and maintenance, that is, even if the outer city was broken, the defenders could still rely on the internal Taishou Mansion to defend, delaying time and waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.
Because Xirong and Northern Qi have been fighting for many years and have never stopped, the city guard mansion is often maintained and repaired, whether it is defensive facilities or all kinds of baggage, it is very complete, and even the surrounding 20 zhang houses have been demolished. It's a city within a city.
Its topography is condescending, and its structure also presents the shape of the character "Shen", although there is a large road that will lead directly to the center, but the left and right corridors on both sides are densely packed with organs, the terrain is complex, and the middle avenue is also designed to be easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Although it is a straight road, a total of three to four hundred meters long, it is a slope from low to high, and if you follow this path from the outside to the inside. Every twenty or thirty meters along the avenue is a ladder that has to climb five or six meters to the top, and it is necessary to climb the steps, and the defenders can take advantage of the terrain to rush down. But the attacker is going to attack from the back, which is very embarrassing, and there are three such slope designs!
When he rode Lu Yu to fight in front of him before, he attracted the attention of most places. Lin Fengjin took his three hundred horsemen and quietly went around to the opposite gate of Yaocheng.
The composition of the herdsmen under the command of the dog Rong is very complex, and the Tubo people. Xianbei people and so on, and this time there are a lot of herdsmen who are used as cannon fodder, plus manpower is tight, and the guards at the city gate are not local soldiers, but foreign herdsmen, so the people of Sanli actually rely on their looks and rude scolding, they mixed in without danger, mainly because the Xirong people also know very well that the snake swallowing army is full of Han people, so Lin Fengjin's attack can be carried out so easily.
And after their group found that the city was empty, and the main force was concentrated in the direction of the small half of the city besieging Lu Yu, they began to pollute the wells and arrange mechanisms in the city under the guidance of Lin Fengjin, but halfway through, they were accidentally broken by a dozen wandering cavalry.
However, these people are actually the herdsmen of Xirong's brand, who deserted when they were about to fight, and came here to plunder and make a fortune, so Lin Feng really had no effort to send them away, and almost wiped them out in a flash.
Next, Lin Fengjin asked these captives, and asked where the residents of Yaocheng went, and then he learned that the city guards and generals here were all the prince's people, and under the pressure of the prince, they abandoned the city in advance in the name that the enemy army was strong and could not be stopped.
Around this is the case, there are still a small number of people who do not go to the family and do not believe in evil stayed, this part of the people is about 10,000 people, but at least half of them were slaughtered, and the remaining two or three thousand people because Lu Yu came, so in a hurry, they were imprisoned in the city guard prison in Yaocheng, and those who couldn't be locked in the prison were also imprisoned in this city guard mansion.
Lin Fengjin was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately led people to go forward, and the guards in the city guarded the mansion, that is, one or two hundred Xirong troops, among which there were some wounded, and they were abducted and deceived to open the door, how could they resist Lin Fengjin's group of wolves and tigers, who were cleanly and neatly chopped melons and vegetables.
Those rescued residents of Yaocheng watched their relatives and friends and neighbors being slaughtered before, and they had long had the idea of despair and death, but they were suddenly rescued by Lin Fengjin, they must have been grateful, Lin Fengjin put on his official identity again, and easily won their trust.
At this time, they were divided into groups one by one, the old, weak, sick and disabled could do the work of carrying and serving, and the men in the prime of life could be used as auxiliaries.
While Lin Fengjin was wantonly making trouble in the remote city, he also deliberately collected weapons, baggage, and moved the grain, oil and other things in the rice and noodle shop to the city guard's mansion, and even arranged arson mechanisms in key places such as crossroads, and after igniting, the whole city was smoked, which successfully delayed the pace of the other party's attack.
After Lu Yu led the remaining more than 1,000 snake swallowers to rush into the city guard, at least half of them fell from the top of the horse, and their armor was shattered, their flesh and blood were blurred, and they were directly out of strength.
However, the monster's vitality is originally extremely strong, and since it has been Lu Yu, almost all the treasures in the world have been enjoyed, and it is the best among the monsters, and it is estimated that it will not be able to die for a while. Lu Yu also dismounted at this time, and when he entered the room, he collapsed on the chair, his face was pale, and he closed his eyes and didn't speak after taking a pill.
At this time, Lin Fengjin arranged for the old, weak, sick and disabled residents of Yaocheng to come forward, helped them to the house to lie down, and did some simple first aid work, such as cleaning the wound with salt water to stop bleeding, bandaging it with a clean white cloth, etc., and feeding them some sugar water at the same time.
Don't underestimate these trivial things, some people who are obviously going to die, after receiving these cares, they can recover and survive in one breath, even if they are moderately injured, they can recover better and faster.
But Cui Yuemo is okay, his body is full of flesh wounds, and the most serious injury is that he was slashed on his back, but unfortunately a high-grade armor made by a good blood alchemy technique was shattered and broken by that knife, but fortunately, the power of this knife was also vented, so the knife wound on his back looked amazing, from the neck to the buttocks, in fact, it was only three points into the flesh.
At this time, Lu Yu was recuperating from his injuries with his eyes closed, Lin Fengjin must have discussed the next thing with Cui Yuemo, after some inventory, although it was still more than a thousand snake swallowing troops that rushed out, but in fact, after some statistics, it was found that there were less than four hundred people who could continue to fight, and there were only about 100 members of the Poison Fang Capital who could fight, and the rest were almost all seriously injured, and even as soon as they arrived at a safe place, the breath in their hearts was released, and there were fifty or sixty people who fell from their horses on the spot.
Lin Fengjin was very happy when he heard this amount, and smiled very dryly:
"Four hundred, much more than I thought. In this way, you can choose a hundred people from these four hundred people who are in the best condition, and I do not ask them to carry their swords to the battlefield and play with people, but to give command to those strong men, and tell them what they should do when the enemy comes. The rest of the brothers let them rest, and the snake swallowing army can only exert its strongest combat power under the leadership of the king, and I will not go beyond the bounds. ”
At this time, the organs placed by Lin Feng had been launched in turn, and there were at least a dozen fire points in the entire remote city, and at this time it was even more dry and dry, and it was half of the city in an instant. And Yaocheng has a lot of wind and sand here, and it is not a place like Jiangnan Water Town, where you can dig a few meters and dig a well casually. There are a total of eight deep wells in the entire city, seven of which have been filled by Lin Fengjin, and one is in the city guard's mansion.
However, these methods are only a palliative method, which can stop ordinary soldiers, but they can't stop those elites, about half an hour later, Chibili came to report urgently, saying that a large number of elite soldiers appeared outside the city guard mansion, Lin Fengjin nodded slightly, and went forward with him to watch.
