Chapter 235: A Different Boy
People are always in awe of the mysterious and unknown, especially when they cannot be deconstructed with their own shallow cognition.
The more ignorant it is, the more so.
The coalition forces of Pei, Mu, and Bao looked at the heads that flew one after another in a daze, dumbfounded.
The cave in the city gate as far as the eye can see is empty, but these brave warriors died so strangely.
Fear forced them to recall a picture.
A bull-riding Taoist priest corrected the Xue family in the light of ten thousand clouds and the auspiciousness of the sky, carried it by the sky, and commanded all the people.
Could it be that from now on, does this King Jing really have the protection of the gods?
Thinking like this in his heart, his feet naturally hesitated.
But there are ruthless people in the world, and there are more unwanted and unbelieving people in the army.
A fierce centurion struck his horse forward, "Young master, let the last general go and try it." ”
Pei He glanced at him and nodded approvingly, "After success, there will be a lot of rewards!"
He remembered that this man, named Wu Fagu, was a murderer in the army who was very capable of fighting.
Wu Fagu stubbornly ordered a few trembling subordinates from behind and touched towards the city gate.
Pei He turned slightly sideways and looked at Bao Shouzhong, "What does General Bao think?"
"Could it be some kind of cultivator's method?" Bao Shouzhong thought that the question was still more practical.
Pei He shook his head slowly, "We have all seen cultivators, at least we have traces to follow, this is too weird." ”
"Organ?" Bao Shouzhong began to ask rhetorically.
"There is this possibility, but there is no trace of the arrangement of the mechanism, and do you think that our sons and daughters can't even find this mechanism?" Pei He talked to Bao Shouzhong, who was a generation older than him, without stage fright, which was also the result of Pei Shixiong's deliberate cultivation, and men had to be magnificent.
Bao Shouzhong was noncommittal, looked at the Wufa Gu and a few cavalrymen who were about to arrive at the city gate, and said calmly: "Look at their results." ”
At this point, neither of them pinned their hopes on anything.
In an invisible corner on the other side of the city gate hole, Mei Ziqing stretched out his hand, and a ball of transparent silk thread flew back into his hand, he thought about it, the corners of his mouth curled, and spread this ball of silk thread on this side of the city gate hole.
At the beginning, in the Fog Hidden Valley, it was easy to cut off the mysterious silk thread of the head of a killer in the Xuan Realm, and it was simply unimaginable for them to deal with these ordinary soldiers.
There were corpses and blood stains scattered all over the ground at the city gate, and Rao is previous domineering and mighty centurion Wu Fa Gu couldn't help but get nervous when he saw this, he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and beckoned several subordinates to move a passage together.
Hitting the horse near the location where everyone had an accident before, Wu Fa looked at the strange city gate, his face was fierce, he pulled out his scimitar, and slashed at the empty city gate.
made a knife with all his strength to split the air, and fell off the horse directly with black hair, which was very funny.
But the next few soldiers didn't laugh, and Pei He, Bao Shouzhong and others didn't laugh either.
Wu Fagu got up from the ground, climbed on the horse's back again, and came to the position, greeting his subordinates
Dancing with swords, testing the mechanism of the city gate.
Time passed, and finally, after almost determining that there was nothing wrong, he rushed into the doorway.
In the long doorway, the black hair touched his neck and grinned.
Pei He and Bao Shouzhong glanced at each other, and there was excitement in their eyes.
In the envious eyes of everyone, Wu Fagu returned to the team proudly.
Pei He and Bao Shouzhong hurriedly ordered the corpses at the city gate to be emptied, and another cavalry team of hundreds of people rushed into the city gate.
The same story happened again.
And this time what is even more tragic is that the city gate hole obstructs the view, the people in front are retreating in fear, the people behind are moving forward bravely, and the people and horses are trampling in the city gate hole.
The neighing of the war horses and the wails of the wounded soldiers filled the back dàng) In the long and narrow hole in the city gate, the corners of people's mouths twitched.
The situation was re-stabilized under the shouts of Pei He and others.
But the discussion has gradually spread.
"Isn't it really blessed by the gods?"
"You see how strange that death is!"
"This battle is still going on!"
Hearing this, Pei Hetie blushed and roared angrily: "Shut up Lao Tzu!"
After all, after many years of accumulation, it is not something that can be replaced by this one or two fears, and everyone closed their mouths with interest.
"What kind of dog god is blessed, I think someone is playing tricks!
At this moment, this centurion has successfully played a shaman-like role.
"Yes!"
Wu Fa Gu came out of the ranks, with his previous successful experience, he was not afraid at this moment.
Mei Ziqing smiled, waved her hand to collect the silk thread, and disappeared.
It was another funny temptation, and Wu Fagu made a great contribution.
He managed to make his way through the strange doorway and rushed out again, unscathed.
Excited, Pei He couldn't wait to order someone to clean the door hole and prepare to enter the city.
Bao Shou stopped and stopped, and finally did not speak.
They have indeed lost too much time here, and they must take Qiu'an City as soon as possible and rush to Fengyang City.
In such a general direction, a little loss can be tolerated.
He turned his back and looked at the tragedy, but in fact, the loss was not big, it was nothing more than two or three hundred horses, but it took a long time.
There shouldn't be any problem, he thought.
If they don't meet any predators, they don't know what it means to be afraid.
They rushed into the city with vigorous steps, carrying the cavalry on them.
The cavalry in the lead looked at the deserted streets, and felt a little uncomfortable, but the steady stream of comrades behind him did not allow him to think.
On the watchtowers on both sides, the black cloth was suddenly pulled apart;
On the wall overhead, hundreds of bows poked their heads out of the battlements;
In the street in front of them, dozens of triphorse ropes were sharply straightened, and several horse-repellent stakes were pushed out of the alley;
"Enemy attack!" said the leading cavalryman, when he was plunged into the throat by a feathered arrow and fell from his horse.
Overwhelming
The arrows of Gaidi rained down, and under the special explanation of Yelu Jincai, most of them accurately pierced into the gaps in the armor of these sergeants, hitting the vital point.
Once again, the city gate cave played an excellent cover, and even if there were thousands of troops on the opposite side, they could only turn into a trickle of water and enter through the door hole, while the cowardly Xue guards could calmly and reap the lives of their opponents in a timely manner.
The corpses all over the ground made the opponent's cavalry completely unable to exert the power of the charge, and was completely passively beaten.
Yelu Jin was on the city wall, seeing that no one was even injured on his side, he didn't sigh in his heart, this is also leading troops to fight, the difference is really big.
Mei Ziqing was bored lying on the head of the city, looking at the dense crowd of people and horses under the city, and her thoughts drifted back to the Fog Hidden Valley not long ago.
Isn't this a copy of the bloody battle in Heroic Spirit Valley during the original Wuyin Conference, as long as there are enough arrows, and Xue Wei's arm can still pull the bow, and the opposite side is really how many people die.
After all, these steppe cavalry, the siege skills are really poor.
But after all, manpower is poor, if it goes on like this, the other party can choose to kill these cowardly Xue Wei with their numbers, even if they can defend this Qiu'an City at any time, what's the point?
If you save people and lose land, people and land will survive, and if you save land and lose people, people and land will be lost.
So, he's still waiting for that variable in expectation.
The abominable man who let himself wade into this muddy water must have appeared, right?
Pei He and Bao Shouzhong glanced at each other, neither of them expected that there would be so many twists and turns and casualties in what they thought would be an easy battle.
But at this time, it is no longer realistic to withdraw and reorganize, so you can only use the number of people to pile up the opposite city defense.
So they nodded a little heavily, and each gave an order, and the soldiers and horses under their command continued to rush towards the city gate.
Seeing that the cavalry charge was unfavorable, they simply ordered all their men to dismount and charge on foot with bows and arrows and scimitars.
The speed at which Xue Wei drew his bow gradually slowed down, and his accuracy gradually decreased, and they were inevitably tired.
A steady stream of enemy forces began to inflict casualties on them, but fortunately there were not many.
Mei Ziqing had to help stabilize her position several times in times of crisis, otherwise she would have killed and injured many more people.
The same strategy, which had been carried for a long time in the Valley of the Heroic Spirit without any casualties, only lasted here for more than an hour.
"Yunluo, you have suffered a thousand cuts, why haven't you come yet!"
Mei Ziqing shouted in her heart!
"Young master, it's not good! Barbarian Bull City was beaten down by King Jing's people!"
A voice with a rolling true element resounded in the ears of everyone in the audience.
The plum is as green as being amnestied, and a breath of turbidity grows.
Seizing the opponent's stunned kung fu, Yelu Jin took the opportunity to storm and once again win a little space for himself and others.
In the looking back eyes of Pei He and all the sergeants present, two fast horses were galloping towards them.
"Young master, it's not good! Barbarian Bull City was beaten down by King Jing's people!"
The same words were repeated by one of them.
But many of the Pei Mu coalition only knew the other one
of faces.
"Isn't that one of the leaders of the city guards?"
"yes, it seems to be called something, we drank together the day before yesterday. ”
"Iron Leaf, yes, yes, it's called Iron Leaf!"
"So, the Bull City is really lost?"
Among the two coalition armies of Pei Mu, many of the people who had not yet had time to attack the city were talking to each other and quickly confirmed the share of the comer.
But who is the person who shouted?
This mystery existed only for a moment before it was solved.
"Young Master Pei, King Jing entrusted me to bring you a message, thank you for the grace of the city, he will personally return to Qiu'an City to thank you after he rectifies the city, he must be on the way at this moment!"
The other person was naturally Yunluo, he pulled Tie Ye together, restrained the horse from a distance, and shouted loudly with Zhenyuan.
"Pei Gongzi, don't fall for the other party's tricks, King Jing is still in Fengyang City at the moment, where can I get the Wild Bull City!" Bao Shouzhong is old and knowledgeable, and he knows that it is the most important thing to take Qiu'an City at this moment.
Even if the Bull City is lost, what will happen!
Pei He's face was calm, "This person is one of the leaders of the city defense of Manniu City. ”
The implication was that he had already believed in the fact that the Bull City had fallen.
Bao Shouzhong was about to speak, when two more horses rushed over, and a voice sounded high, "General Bao, it's not good! King Jing's people have occupied Crescent City!"
Bao Shouzhong stumbled, his face full of incredulity.
Without waiting for him to speak, a trace of resoluteness flashed on Pei He's face, and he waved his hand, "Withdraw!"
No matter how bold and fierce he was before, when he really faced the decision and test of life and death, the young Pei He was intimidated.
He comforted himself, since the Crescent City was also lost, it meant that he had indeed fallen into King Jing's plan this time, and the original three-sided encirclement naturally no longer existed.
Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, this time the main force is still there, quickly withdraw the army, otherwise when King Jing returns to the division, he will lose the city and then the army, then he will not be able to explain to his father and Uncle Mu.
He bowed his hand to Bao Shouzhong, and quickly withdrew with his military horses.
Bao Shouzhong called repeatedly, but Pei He turned a deaf ear and ran away long ago.
Bao Shouzhong looked up to the sky and sighed, "Shaft! Shaft! Lack of conspiracy!"
He saw that only two people had come to report the news, and even though he recognized it as one of the city defense leaders of Crescent City, he still believed that it was just a trick of King Jing.
But Pei He had already withdrawn, and it was difficult for him to stay here alone, so he had no choice but to order the withdrawal of the army.
Inside the city gate, Yelu Jincai looked excited, and rushed out with cowardly Xue Wei, those who rushed the most vigorously before, and now they are also the most tragic, and they have all turned into the souls of cowardly Xue Wei's knife.
Yelu Jincai has been killing in front of Yunluo, the four horses standing still, in the figure of the people who are shouting and running around, it looks particularly abrupt, and the killing rises, Yelu Jincai subconsciously raised his knife and jumped up, and slashed towards Yunluo.
Yunluo flashed slightly, let go of the blade, and then stretched out his right hand like lightning and gently pinched Yelu Jincai's wrist, and his left hand grabbed Yelu Jincai's armor and shook him gently
On the ground, his right hand scooped up the scimitar from the air, turned the handle of the knife, and handed it back to Yelu Jincai, "I am Yunluo." ”
Yelu Jin was confused, who was Yunluo?
"Brother Mei, are you still watching the play? It's too much!"
was called by name, Mei Ziqing smiled and said to Yelu Jincai: "You just need to know who he is and you next, as for who he is, you go back and ask Xue Zhen yourself." ”
Yunluo didn't care, patted Jian Qi's shoulder, and looked at everyone, "Okay, it's time to act." ”
Looking up at the sky, the blazing sun is still strong.
-
"General, why didn't King Jing go back quickly?" Bo Mushi's personal guard wondered from the side.
Hearing this, the cultivator who was guarding Bo Mu Shi also turned his head slightly, obviously also a little curious about Bo Mu Shi's answer.
"Hehe, it will take about five hours to go back to Qiu'an City from here at the earliest, and when he goes back, Qiu'an City has obviously been lost. Bo Mushi tapped the city wall with his dagger, "Besides, if he runs for a long time, if he is ambushed by the three coalition forces, his entire army may be destroyed." What's more, don't you exist as a general? This Fengyang City is where he can come and leave whenever he wants?"
The guards suddenly realized, "So, King Jing can guess this, it's also very powerful." ”
Bo Mushi looked at this junior of his cronies speechlessly, "I didn't flee in a hurry, I can only say that I have a bright brain, and I am still undecided at this point, so it can be seen that it is difficult to achieve a big deal after all." ”
"At this point, either at any cost, storm my Fengyang City, or simply pull out the camp and go to Crescent City or Wild Bull City, exchange a small city for a big city, at least you can recover some losses. But look at him, he has been in the city for four or five hours, the sun is about to set, and he has not yet made a decision, how can such a person achieve great things. I see, Lord Murong is also worried about it this time. ”
"I think King Jing is amazing. The guard muttered in a low voice, he longed for the story of King Jing breaking into the camp and killing Ba Lie alone.
The young man was impetuous and simple, which made the immortal master smile. Bo Mushi was not angry, but laughed at the cultivator sitting on the side.
The cultivator smiled back, and his heart felt more respect for this man who could be slapped to death with one slap.
At least these things can't be analyzed by yourself, but then again, can you use them so much?
Thinking like this, the pride of being a mountain man rose again.
Under the windswept city, some simple tents have been set up for the troops to take turns to rest and recuperate.
Pei Zhen dismounted and sat on the ground at the front of the team with Cui Xianchi Xuan Ce Fu Tianqi.
Cui Xian silently isolated a small world, shielding the perception of the other party's cultivators.
"We've been sitting here for so long?, Bo Mushi won't be suspicious?" Fu Tianqi was a little puzzled by the current situation.
He was only told the entire battle plan last night, and he was full of emotion in surprise and big brother yun and mr. chi The two foxes got together and he was really
It's no different from a fool.
Not to mention that I didn't guess how this battle would be fought, I was confused even when and how they would get in touch.
Chi Xuance smiled, it's okay, Bo Mushi should be belittled at the moment, feeling indecisive and indecisive, he can't make a big deal. ”
Pei Zhen frowned slightly, and looked up at Chi Xuance, "Mr. Chi, I'm a little worried about the military's heart. ”
It seemed that there were nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses brought, but in fact, there were only 2,500 troops that could fight, and the other 300 or so were purely city defenders and city residents, wearing the armor of the cowardly Xue Wei to fill up the numbers.
Fortunately, there are few men on the grassland who can't ride horses, so they don't show any flaws for a while.
But this also means that the only one who can really do it is only five hundred cowardly Xue Wei, and the more than 1,000 Murong family's private soldiers and city defense soldiers cannot be trusted, let alone those residents.
Chi Xuance stared into Pei Zhen's eyes, "Next, you must not fall into a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding of striving for perfection, war is always full of gambling and luck, we can imagine all the problems at the beginning, but in the end, there will inevitably be all kinds of emergencies to test us." ”
"Just like this army, we don't have the time and the way to wait for them to be fully trained and matured, and I can only break up the cowardly Xue Wei and put it in it to pacify and supervise the military spirit, but under pressure, this army will inevitably be chaotic, and we must be mentally prepared for this. ”
"What if I appease them one by one?" asked Pei Zhen.
"Is it better than life and death?" Chi Xuance's answer was very direct.
Pei Zhen nodded gloomily, but still got up, "Do your best, let it be the fate of heaven." ”
Cui Xian followed, watching Pei Zhen gently pacify one by one, and the military formation, which had been slightly moving, slowly stabilized.
"General, they're moving!" Bo Mushi's guards shouted excitedly, pointing at the city.
Bo Mushi Huo Ran looked up, and sure enough, he saw that King Jing's team was packing up the camp tent and preparing to pull out the camp.
"General, do you want to take advantage of the chaos to attack?" The guards felt that their decision was a brain, and if they attacked at this time, the opponent would be caught off guard, and they would definitely be shocked.
Listening to the general, many of the famous battles were won in this way.
"Take a closer look. Although they were ready to retreat, the team did not panic at all, and there were always about 1,000 cavalry guarding against our surprise attack. Bo Mushi gently patted the city wall and sighed, "There is a master on the other side!"
However, he was not discouraged, and in his combat habits, with absolute superiority in troops, the formation of an absolute suppression momentum was the most reasonable and best choice for another battle.
Those miserable victories, no matter how bloody or heroic they are, are a lose-lose situation after all.
He turned his head and ordered, "Send three teams of scouts, keep an eye on their whereabouts, and report them every half an hour." ”
The guards were ordered to go down to arrange, and just two steps away, Bo Mushi again
Stop him, "A quarter of an hour." ”
Bo Mushi looked into the distance, and now he was just waiting for the three coalition forces to come and encircle.
The army of King Jing under the city came and went, and the empty plain was as if nothing had happened.
Night began to fall, and a sense of disappointment began to spread among King Jing's ranks.
In the dark night of yesterday, everyone urged the horses with great interest, polished their swords and guns, and prepared to take Fengyang City;
Tonight, when nothing was done, everyone returned on horseback, as if they had heard that something might be wrong with the lair.
What the hell is going to sleep under the Wind Rising City?
Then again, if I hadn't slept well, I wouldn't have been able to walk at this point.
King Jing is a good master, and he is not bad for us big soldiers, but he can't win the battle, and he can't lead his brothers to live a good life, which is not good!
Hey, let's wait and see, if Qiu'an City is really gone, find a way to find a place to go.
It's a pity that the Murong family can't go back.
Such thoughts churned in the hearts of most people except for the cowardly Xue Wei.
In this way, Pei Zhen and they really have to thank Bo Mushi.
Under Pei Zhen's control, the speed of the team's march slowly accelerated.
When the news reached Bo Mushi's ears, he stood up suddenly, "Order!
Leaving 500 people to assist the city defenders to defend the city, Bo Mushi personally led 4,500 cavalry to chase in the direction where Pei Zhen left.
Over there, it's also in the direction of Akian Castle.
In the night of Tianjing City, Yang Hao leaned on the soft collapse, and a beautiful concubine was soothing his shoulders.
Looking at Yang Haoshen's expression, the concubine's hands were especially careful, for fear that one would annoy His Majesty by not paying attention.
Royal driving pro-conquest, royal driving pro-conquest, Xue Lu, Xue Lu, is it really the heavenly immortals who give you the courage to be strong?
After decades of good sons with the assistance of Xue Zheng, I really don't know how thick the sky is?
Don't forget, even if it is sealed, my Daduan Yang clan will also rank before your Beiyuan Xue clan!
Yang Hao stretched out his hand and waved away the beautiful concubine, stood up suddenly, and coldly ordered: "Go and invite the national teacher into the palace." ”
