Text Chapter 83 Breaking the City
The hot blood poured on the cold blade will bloom into a flower......
Since that night, Guo Yiwei and others have been stationed in Shacheng for seven days and seven nights. For seven days, a hundred camel knifemen searched the desert for something with bags of hemp on their backs. On the night of the eighth day, together with Dong Ping and Guo Yiwei, a total of 125 people, each carrying two bulging bags of hemp, took advantage of the night to march towards the main city of the Xia people.
The city walls were brightly lit, and the Xia soldiers defending the city all drew their bows in their hands. At any time, you can take the head of a foreign enemy at a distance of 100 paces. In the desert, except for Guo Yiwei's men, the Xia army has no opponents. Despite this, the Xia soldiers were still ready to fight, and did not dare to relax in the slightest. The strictness of the Xia people's management of the army can be seen.
Dong Ping couldn't help but sigh, now there are fierce tigers in the north, hungry wolves in the west, and the Great Song Dynasty is swimming in a shallow bottom, and the situation is really difficult. Guo Yiwei and the others did not ride camels, but crawled forward on the sand. The brownish-yellow sack and the dark yellow hood became an excellent concealment at this time. Although the night in the desert is transparent, it is not easy for the Xia people to get a glimpse of their whereabouts from the high wall.
When everyone climbed to only 20 zhang away from the city wall, Guo Yiwei waved his hand to stop everyone. He stretched out his right palm and bent his five fingers down one by one. When he clenched his palms into fists, he suddenly saw one hundred and twenty-five sacks being thrown into the sky. Then, the crowd quickly retreated.
In order to ensure the secrecy of the operation, no one said a word during the entire operation.
When the officers and soldiers defending the city saw a foreign object attacking the city, they shot arrows out one after another, piercing the sack with the sound of the howling wind.
"Stop shooting!" With a loud shout, the soldiers lowered their bows one after another. The man who spoke was a middle-aged man with a short stature but a meaty face. This man is the defender of this city, Tuoba Lie. But as soon as he finished speaking, seventy or eighty sacks burst open at the same time. Countless black beetles fell from the bag, like a black rainstorm falling from the sky.
Tuoba Lie flew out a few palms and scattered a lot of black beetles. But there were too many beetles, and in the blink of an eye, they all landed on the city wall. The walls, the walls, were full of black beetles. As soon as the black beetle landed on the ground, it spun into the city wall like crazy.
It turned out that the black object that Dong Ping took out of the hole that he stepped on at the head of Shacheng City that day was a small black beetle. Later, he experimented with Guo Yiwei and found that the saliva that the black beetle spat out of its mouth was just right to melt the solid sand city wall. The black beetle naturally likes shade, and there are no natural predators such as four-legged snakes and birds in the city wall, so they have nested in the city wall. Dong Ping and Guo Yiwei settled on this method of using beetles to break the high walls of the main city.
According to Dong Ping's conjecture, since there are black beetles in the walls of this sand city, there are more black beetles in the walls of the main city. Use the black beetles they caught to break the shell of the main city wall, and the black beetles in the wall will also be moved. When the time comes, the two will strike together, and the wall will be breached.
The Xia soldiers in the main city were also a little panicked, and Tuoba Lie frowned and shouted, "Upper-class rocket!"
Everyone drew out the arrows wrapped in oilcloth in unison, and dipped the arrows into the brazier beside them, and in an instant a row of flowing fires swept down against the city wall. When they landed, the black beetles that were burned to death rained down. But the beetles that were burned to death could only be regarded as a drop in the bucket of the vast swarm, and the rest of the beetles were burned by the fire, and they drilled into the city wall like crazy.
Tuoba Lie didn't dare to use his true qi at this time, he had lived in the city for a long time, how could he not know that the city wall was full of insect nests, if he did it now, then the city wall would collapse immediately. Thousands of miles of embankment, collapsed in an anthill. Tuoba Lie could not have imagined that those camel swordsmen would really dare to attack his main city. Since Li Xuanyuan was transferred to Kyoto in Great Xia a few years ago, these soldiers they were stationed in the desert have become outcasts. I can't go back, and I can't go. Tuoba Lie is also in a dilemma, although he is irritable, but in this situation, he still has to make decisions as the defender of the city.
"The soldiers defending the city obey the order, enter the city at speed, and transfer the wolf to ride out of the city to defend against the enemy!" As soon as Tuoba Lie's voice fell, the strange change sounded again, and suddenly there was an extremely strange chirp in the desert surrounding the main city. Hearing this, the black beetle that was burrowing into the city wall stopped at the moment. Tuoba Lie raised his eyebrows and said: "God help me, all the soldiers obey the order, draw their bows and shoot!"
The soldiers set up a stream of rockets and shot down against the city wall when they landed. In an instant, I saw that more than half of the charred black beetle had fallen. And thousands of golden lizards also jumped out of the sand and stones, the golden scale armor reflected the faint moonlight, and in an instant, the radius was actually reflected. Tuoba Lie saw Guo Yiwei and his party hiding in the sand outside the city at a glance, and he said loudly: "One hundred and fifty steps to the east of the city, release arrows!"
By this time, the golden lizards were walking towards the shivering black beetles that were still glued to the wall. At this time, the speed at which the golden lizard walked was no longer as leisurely as Dong Ping had seen that day. It's no wonder that the black beetles within a radius of more than ten miles have been caught by them, and these golden lizards are hungry.
In the face of the pouring arrow rain, Guo Yiwei and the others did not show any panic, and the hundred-handled scimitar came out of the sheath, and the sword qi turned into a big tornado, smashing the incoming arrow rainstorm!
"Throw the bag!"
Dong Ping shouted violently, and immediately, the second sack that everyone was carrying also came out of his hands. At this time, the guards on the city wall did not dare to act rashly, for fear that if they shot through the bag again, beetles would escape. But this sack was not tied, and it was completely held in the hands of Dong Ping. I saw the sack fly into the air, and thick brown ropes fell out of the sack. The ropes fell to the ground, and in an instant they parted again, and they swam towards the main city.
Tuoba Lie's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted: "Shoot an arrow!"
As soon as the long snakes appeared, the golden lizards scattered as if frightened. The black beetle that stopped on the city wall was a spirit, and began to drill into the wall frantically. Since Dong Ping thought of attacking the city with a black beetle, he naturally expected that he would kill the golden lizard halfway. Therefore, when he ordered everyone to hunt black beetles, he also caught many natural enemies of golden lizards. Speaking of which, this strategy is nothing more than a small trick of the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches. But if this little trick is used well, it can be regarded as invincible.
"Fly the wolf rider!" Tuoba Lie shouted, turned around and jumped down the city. Tuoba Lie was full of true qi and was not arrogant, and with every step he took, the long snakes swimming around his body would explode and die. For a while, Tuoba Lie was shrouded in a layer of blood mist, and it was really like a terrifying killing god!
Guo Yiwei on the other side held the knife and stood up, he was full of fighting spirit at the moment, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
"Guo Yiwei, good Guo Yiwei. Your Excellency's name is like thunder, and I will come today to learn your methods!" Tuoba Lie said, stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the sand, and when he landed, a sledgehammer made of yellow sand was held in his hand.
"Hmph, I hope Your Excellency will give me advice!"
As soon as Guo Yiwei's words fell, he stabbed Tuoba Lie's head on the neck! Tuoba Lie raised a sand hammer to block it, and the scimitar in Guo Yiwei's hand fell into the sand hammer as soon as he landed. The knife entered the sand hammer, and the sand hammer suddenly condensed, and suddenly, Guo Yiwei's scimitar was trapped in the hammer.
"Good skills!" Guo Yiwei shouted, and in an instant, the surging true qi like a surging river instantly poured into the scimitar!
Tuoba Lie also sighed secretly in his heart, and with a good cultivation, he injected his masculine true qi into the sand hammer. When they landed, the two of them did not move at all, and began to compete with each other in this hammer and knife. Behind the two of them, two fierce beasts made of yellow sand confronted each other and roared. The wind was blowing under the feet of the two, and a curtain of wind rose around the two of them.
At the same time, a roar resounded through the heavens and the earth. In the midst of the dust, the city wall dozens of feet high had collapsed with a bang! Millions of black beetles turned into a torrent of pitch-black insects, rushing in all directions. Above the insect tide, in the wind and smoke, hundreds of pairs of miserable green eyes have lit up.
"Woohoo~!!"
With a wolf howl, hundreds more wolf howls rang out. For a while, in this world, it seemed that only this Devil May Cry was left!
And Dong Ping's side, with Kurban's whistle. The bald camel has roared from behind. Everyone turned over and rode on camels, led by Dong Ping, and rushed towards the Xia army.
At this time, the wind and sand in the west had dispersed, and the world-famous flying wolf rider had already revealed his hideousness! I saw hundreds of vigorous soldiers in leather armor, holding long hooks, riding on the yellow wolf quilt. The yellow wolf was huge, like a calf. The Xia State flew wolf and rode it, and the Xia State was born to deal with the cavalry of the Liao and Song Kingdoms. Even the most divine horses will be afraid of this yellow wolf who has grown up feeding the corpses of prisoners of war. When the horse is frightened, the flying wolf rider on the wolf quilt will use the long hook in his hand to beat the horse's legs. In the years when the Liao, Song and Xia Kingdoms were in turmoil, the flying wolf riders of the Xia Dynasty could be described as invincible.
Behind the hundreds of flying wolf riders, there were thousands of elite soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding spears, ready to fight. There is no reason to doubt the strength of this group of soldiers. That beast-like look, Dong Ping had never seen it in the eyes of the soldiers of the Song and Liao Kingdoms.
To deal with such a sharp master, it is necessary to turn oneself into a sharp knife and destroy its edge. But Dong Ping, the first thing they have to face is the sharpest blade in the opponent's army, the Flying Wolf Ride!
But the camels that Dong Ping sat on were originally strange beasts born in the desert, and they walked through the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood, not afraid of the fierce yellow wolf in front of them.
Dong Ping was hunched over, panting constantly. The snow in his hands trembled slightly, not fear, but excitement.
Three years later, he Dong Ping went to the battlefield again!
