Chapter 76: The Shroud of Lonely Loyalty-13

Outside the city of Yuchuan in the west of Daxuan, the black-pressed Dinu army has no end in sight, and they are ready to attack under the city, just waiting for their marshal King Lanhuer to give an order to launch a general attack on the city gate.

Randhur rode in front of the army to patrol his army, which had experienced countless battles, not to mention the surrounding small countries, even the vast empire of Harriel, deep in the desert, were afraid to fight when they encountered them.

Although Lanhuer inherited the title from his father, Lan Xubu, he was not a gentleman. Since the day his father was killed by Liu Cangshui, the defender of Yuchuan City, he swore to heaven that no matter what method he used, he would definitely set foot on the lonely city abandoned by his motherland, and be ashamed of his father who had won a hundred battles.

Since the day he inherited his father's mantle, Lanhuer has fought countless battles, large and small, and conquered countless steppe tribes and small desert countries for his great khan, because he has made countless meritorious contributions, and the khan has intended him to lead his men and horses to take the Great Xuanbei Pass.

Kelan Huer refused, and he told his Great Khan that the lonely city outside the Great Xuan Xiguan had been trying to make it difficult for him to sleep like a nail that had been driven into his chest for a moment. Under his bitter pleading, the Great Khan finally decided to upgrade the small-scale attack of 1,000 people in Yuchuan City for decades, and replaced it with a large-scale attack of 10,000 people. And because of his love for the general, the Great Khan even transferred part of the main force attacking the Great Xuan Beiguan to meet Lan Huer's long-cherished wish to take Yuchuan City.

Lan Huer once thought that he had gone through many years of tempering, and he was almost invincible, thinking that he would definitely be able to surpass his father and take Yuchuan City in one fell swoop.

Because unlike his father, he now has sufficient troops, morale is high, and his famous general's heart is condensed more tenacious than steel. He was well-equipped, with 3,000 elite horsemen and countless marksmen.

When he came to Tamagawa Castle two years ago and saw the group of gray-haired veterans, he just snorted coldly and attacked. A group of old and weak old men also want to stop their young, strong and experienced iron horses?

And now, two years later, he is still watching from outside the city, and the gray-haired old men have gnawed on the bark and beat him back again and again after he completely blocked the surrounding supply lines.

Lan Huer didn't understand, why these old bones were so stubborn? Lan Huer tried to appease them with brocade clothes and jade food, at first he just wanted to trick them into surrendering, but no matter what conditions were offered, the other party ignored them.

Lan Huer lost to Liu Cangshui again and again, from hating him to admiring him, this old man who always likes to tell cold jokes made Lan Huer completely convinced.

Then Lanhur remembered the day when his father was dying, and Lan Xubu said to his son, holding the festering arrow wound on his chest: "I will go, and my son should remember that it is the supreme glory for a soldier to die at the hands of a hero." ”

Lanhur thought that his father was lamenting that he did not die at the hands of the hero, and he could not forget his father's painful expression before he died. However, when he thought about it now, although the pain made his father very painful, his father actually had no regrets, and he was smiling before he even closed his eyes.

Yes, he died a glorious death, thinking that he died at the hands of heroes.

That hero is Liu Cangshui, who once longed to break his corpse.

Lan Huer looked at the sky, today's desert sky is clear, and the surrounding semi-weathered stone mountains can't stop the gusts of wind. He looked at the Yuchuan City in front of him again, no matter what, how could Liu Cangshui grovel to himself?

After all, he was the hero who made his father's death honorable.

Lan Huer's lieutenant general looked at him and looked up at Yuchuan City blankly, so he asked with concern: "Great King, our army has surged from 10,000 to 20,000, and this time we will definitely be able to break through this old city." ”

Lan Huer smiled and nodded, then waved his hand, and the lieutenant did not speak again. Lan Huer knew that although the number of people had surged, the big slope in front of Yuchuan City could also be stepped forward by hundreds of people and hundreds of people side by side, and when there were more people, it could only be said that the road could be paved with people.

Lanhul felt that it was almost time to start.

Lanhuer rode his horse and came to a small sandy slope in front of the army formation, his eyes were angry and majestic, and he said in a deep voice to his army: "The city of Yuchuan in front has insulted us for fifty years! Today, we take this lonely city with 20,000 people and swear to flatten this city!"

With the sound of killing, the black-pressed Dinu soldiers rushed towards the main gate with a ladder. Because in addition to the huge slope of the main gate, the other three sides of Tamagawa Castle are difficult to climb mountain types, and most of the soldiers of Dinu choose to storm the main gate.

In addition, Tamagawa Castle is a castle with high walls and slopes, and the cavalry is usually unable to play a role. Although the Dinu people all rode horses and shot arrows, in the face of this Yuchuan City, they could only obediently dismount and carry the main gate of the ladder to attack.

The first wave of people rushed forward, and Lan Huer called his lieutenant to raise a black order flag, and when the command flag was raised, flying stones were thrown from the center of the army and smashed towards Yuchuan City.

Liu Cangshui in Yuchuan City saw the flying stone coming, and immediately shouted: "Hide under the wall! Watch the enemy from the cave! Don't show your head!"

I saw that the soldiers defending the city immediately crouched against the wall, observing where the flying stones would be smashed in the eyes of the wall.

I only heard the rumbling sound repeatedly, and countless flying stones smashed on the city wall, the sound shook the sky, but it had no effect. Liu Cangshui looked at Liu Changqing, who was grayed by the dust raised by the flying stones, and laughed suddenly: "Hahahahaha! Changqing, Changqing, you white-faced handsome son, now you have become a gray-faced Tian Shenu." ”

Liu Changqing glanced at Liu Cangshui, and then returned: "Old general, save your strength to laugh, don't even have the strength to kill slaves and thieves for a while." ”

Liu Cangshui pointed at Liu Changqing and said with a smile: "You kid is too funny. With that, he looked out of the city through the wall, and the soldiers of Dinu were almost halfway up the slope.

Then Liu Cangshui put away his playful expression, and then shouted to the two towers on the left and right: "Listen to the defenders on the tower! Dinu has reached the halfway slope, and their stone cannons will only smash two more rounds." The thief cannons are not as good as my Daxuan, so you need not worry. Now just bow your head and draw your bow and arrows, and as soon as I tell you to shoot, I will aim at the ladder thief in the back row who does not hold a shield!"

"Order!"

Immediately after that, two consecutive rounds of flying stones were smashed, still resounding and shaking the sky, but the city wall did not move at all.

When Liu Cangshui saw that the Dinu army that had almost rushed to the city, he raised his head and shouted: "Do it!"

At the sound of an order, arrows rained down on all floors of the tower, and although dozens of Dinu soldiers should fall to the ground, the Dinu soldiers who were in high morale did not have any fearful thoughts, but rushed forward desperately.

At this moment, Liu Cangshui got up in person, ready to draw a bow and arrows, although he was nearly seventy years old, but his thick arms were difficult to compare with ordinary wrestlers.

Liu Cangshui took out the giant bow named "Nine Heavens" in his hand from the wooden box in front of him, and Liu Changqing was startled when he glanced at it. There is a row of inscriptions engraved on the bow, which reads "Cangshui Shen's arm opens three stones, dare to call Changhong through the nine heavens"

This is a three-stone bow! A qualified archer is proud to open a one-stone bow, but this gray-haired old man straightens the huge bow that all three of them may not be able to pull away!

Liu Cangshui took aim, and then released the thumb of his right hand with an iron wrench, only to hear a "whoosh", which was like an arrow that even the wind cut through, and roared towards a Dinu armor-clad warrior who rushed to the front.

I heard a crisp sound, and the arrow pierced through the iron helmet on the head of the Dinu soldier and shot straight into the neck of the second Dinu soldier.

When Liu Changqing saw this, he was surprised and incredulous, and he muttered to himself in admiration: "If you can shoot a three-stone bow, you can shoot through the iron helmet so far, and you can kill two thieves with one stone...... Old General Liu, are you a god descending from heaven?"

Liu Cangshui smiled and picked up the arrow, and then said to Liu Changqing: "Boy, haven't you seen it?" hahahahahaha, see if you dare to sneer at me." Okay, don't just watch me do it, hurry up and give the thieves a few more arrows now, and then wait for them to rush a few more steps, and then they will be able to shoot at us. ”

Liu Changqing nodded after hearing this, took out his bow from behind his waist, and began to shoot at the slave thief.

The soldiers of Dinu fell in pieces, but they still poured down the city like a tide, although the soldiers in the front row rushed to the city with a suit of armor, but the distance now, the strength of the arrows was enough to shoot through the armor on their bodies.

I saw that under the rain of arrows, the soldiers of Dinu saw that the city wall was close at hand, but they could not advance a single step.

Lan Huer shook his head as he looked at the soldiers under Yuchuan Castle who were unable to go further, and then he said to the lieutenant general beside him, "There is no way...... Tell them to get down first. Pass me the order! Pull me those siege shield carts over! No matter how difficult it is to climb this slope and how difficult it is to push the carts! It's better than waiting for the dead to pile up into a mountain!"

Lan Huer looked at Yuchuan City and said coldly: "Come on, see which of us is ruthless!"
