Chapter 13: Night Raid
King Beiling laughed: "I thought you wouldn't be afraid." ”
Lu Yunli: "I'm very timid, and I'm very scared this time, so I bring a weapon on my body." ”
King Beiling said to Li Bo, "Did you bring anything to defend yourself?"
Li Bo: "Back to the prince, I only stayed for this head." ”
King Beiling smiled, "This is not a wise move. ”
Li Bo: "I believe that the prince will definitely succeed in the night attack, and it is redundant to take weapons or something." "Li Bo is a very flattering person, and often says what the king of Beiling likes to hear, which is pleasing to him.
King Beiling smiled: "You still know how to speak." ”
Calculate the time, before arriving in Yancheng, the soldiers have been fed and rested on the road, and the soldiers' mental state is the best at this time. Taking advantage of the high morale, he went straight to Yancheng.
Late at night, today's Yancheng is lifeless, in the past, even in the middle of the night, there would be a lot of people in and out of Yancheng, but today's night, Yancheng is unusually quiet, the doors of every house are closed, there is no light in the house, and there is no one on the street, this abnormality makes Lu Yunli very worried.
The King of Beiling was full of confidence at this time, and entered the city with 10,000 troops, even if the streets of Yancheng were wide, it would become very crowded if he suddenly increased by 10,000 people. The remaining 40,000 troops were divided into four teams, southeast, northwest and northwest, each with 10,000 people, and surrounded Yancheng in four directions. The first is to support at any time, and the second is not to let Wu Tian escape while in chaos.
According to the secret report of the spies, the king of Beiling stopped in front of the door of a house called Wanxin Inn in the south of the city, which was five stories long, tall and spacious, and the red gate was closed. King Beiling raised the red order flag in his hand, and saw countless rockets behind him shoot into the Wanxin Inn like meteors, and the Wanxin Inn immediately burst into flames.
Lu Yunli had already seen that this was a trap, but looking at the murderous momentum of King Beiling, he knew that even if he said it, he would not listen. At this time, I am afraid that it is too late, and I can only wait and see what happens.
The fire instantly burned Wanxin Inn like a huge torch, but no one came out, and no shouts could be heard. It was only then that the king of Beiling realized that something was wrong, and he was about to order a retreat. The sound of killing shook the sky on all sides, and in the houses of every household, at the end of the streets and alleys, and on the rooftops, countless lightly armored soldiers suddenly appeared.
Behind him was a wide street, and I only heard the shouts of the army there constantly shouting and killing, but the light was too dim to see what was going on. The king of Beiling ordered the release of signal fireworks to let the Beiling army outside the city come in to rescue. As soon as the words fell, a cloud-piercing arrow flew into the air, and the sky suddenly showed a huge reinforcement word.
At this time, hearing the shouting and killing behind him getting closer and closer, Lu Yunli took advantage of the bright light of the fireworks to look, and saw a team of people struggling to kill him in the back.
In front of him was a tall and rugged man, dressed in light armor, holding a pair of cold iron halberds in both hands, round as flying. Most of those who were hit by the cold iron halberd were cut off and their limbs were mutilated, and blood flew in the sky like a lion entering a flock. Everywhere they went, the soldiers of the King of Beiling saw the corpses that were cut into several sections, and they were so frightened that they had no combat effectiveness at all, and kept retreating, this deterrent force has penetrated into the hearts of the people, and the posture is like a god descending from the earth, unstoppable.
It was Wu Tian's Northwest Army that appeared everywhere, and the man who wielded the cold iron halberd was Wu Tian himself. There were 3,000 people in ambush in the city, but the momentum of the 10,000 soldiers of the King of Beiling was completely suppressed, and the soldiers of the King of Beiling were defeated and retreated, and their numbers were sharply reduced, and they had shrunk into a ball on the streets of Yancheng.
King Beiling began to feel a little frightened in his heart, and asked the people around him loudly, "Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?" "But these people have been by the side of King Beiling, how can they know what is happening outside the city, they look at each other, and no one dares to talk.
Wu Tian took a few people like a sharp knife and plunged it into the heart of the King of Beiling, the King of Beiling looked at the shouting and killing behind him getting closer and closer, and shouted to the archers to release the arrows, but Wu Tian only had a hundred and ten people, and the army of the King of Beiling had several thousand, ten times that of Wu Tian. At this time, if you release arrows, you will only hurt many of your own people, and the soldiers also have some contacts with each other, if you do this, it is easy to hurt your comrades, and all the archers are hesitating.
The king of Beiling ordered again in a more stern voice, and the archers had no choice but to obey the order, and their trembling hands bowed and aimed at Wu Tian, and ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and countless arrows rained down on Wu Tian and his comrades.
Wu Tian had already prepared, and when he saw that there was already an arrow action, he had already made a dodge gesture to the team, and Wu Tian's team of 100 people all had a certain martial arts foundation and had undergone special training. Seeing the gesture of King Beiling, some held up the corpse on the ground to block the arrows, and some dodged and hid in the small alley around them, Wu Tian was in the middle of the street, and after seeing that the people in the team were hiding, he lifted a corpse to resist the arrows, and dodged into the alley while resisting.
This salvo of 10,000 arrows failed to hurt the people of the Northwest King, but hundreds of people died under their own arrows. Because his army was facing away from the archers and fighting with all his might, he didn't know that the king of Beiling behind him was actually using himself as bait.
As a result, the morale of the Beiling King's army was even lowered, and the archers stopped after only one round of arrows, and the Beiling King also realized that this was a stupid move, so he did not give another order.
Wu Tian saw that the other party no longer planned to release the arrow again, so he roared loudly and rushed out first with a pair of cold iron halberds. The rest of the people also rushed towards the King of Beiling, and the shouts of killing sounded again.
Lu Yunli watched Wu Tian's army get closer and closer, and when he looked closely, he found that the entire team was composed of several squads, except for Wu Tian and the swordsman beside him, the rest of the people were a team of five, two people made spears, three people made shields and knives, and they cooperated with each other, both offensive and defensive. What caught Lu Yunli's attention the most was that the figure of the swordsman beside Wu Tian was very familiar, looking at that person as Xiao Fei, the more he looked at it, the more he looked like it, but he laughed in his heart that he wanted to see her like this.
King Beiling is a hereditary vassal king, who has been dancing with guns and sticks since he was a child, and he is also a thunderbolt with a fiery temperament. At this time, seeing that Wu Tian was only killing with a hundred and ten people, his anger could not be suppressed, so he picked up his spear and shouted, ready to put it against Wu Tian.
Wu Tian had already targeted the King of Beiling in the distance, and now he was only seventy or eighty steps away from the King of Beiling, and when he saw him rushing over, he leaned over the ground and picked up five wide knives left by the soldiers, holding the head of the knife in his hand, leaning sideways, arching his left leg, kicking the ground hard with his right foot, rotating his body, and throwing the five knives in his hand like lightning towards the King of Beiling.
Five knives swirled in the air, like large darts, flying towards the King of Beiling. King Beiling held a spear in his hand, but sweat oozed from his palm. Seeing the knife galloping in, I didn't think of a good way to hard-connect. At this time, I only felt that someone was hugging me on the side, and before I could react quickly, I was pushed off the horse. Five knives passed through the horse's body like lightning, the horse's head and neck were cut into three pieces, and one was deeply embedded in the horse's belly, and immediately blood and flesh were splashed everywhere, and the horse fell to the ground with a "flutter". Only then did the King of Beiling see clearly that this person was Li Bo, if it weren't for him, he would have been cut into several pieces by a flying knife.
The king of Beiling made up his mind, changed a horse and rode on, seeing that his troops had been eaten up by nearly half, even so, if he gathered, it was still not a small strength, raised the command flag of the attack, raised his spear, and led the army to rush towards Wu Tian. Wu Tian saw that the troops of the King of Beiling were rushing over, and he became extremely excited, roared, raised his halberds and rushed into the army of the King of Beiling. The subsequent team of 100 people also rushed in, Wu Tian was in front, the swordsman was by his side, and the rest of the people were divided into left and right sides, Wu Tian's footsteps kept moving forward, and everywhere he went were mutilated corpses. Although the footsteps are not fast, they are like a sharp knife, cutting through the flesh little by little, approaching the heart.
King Beiling was also forced into a dead corner at this time, holding the spear tightly in his hand, and rushed towards Wu Tian. Wu Tian saw the king of Beiling rushing straight over again with a spear, the spear dancing like a poisonous snake, and he was about to fight with Wu Tian's life. In just a few strokes, Wu Tian found a flaw in the King of Beiling, his left hand continued to parry, and his right hand rounded the cold iron halberd, sweeping on the lower abdomen of the King of Beiling, this heavy blow knocked him five or six steps away, and fell heavily under the horse. If it weren't for the fact that the armor of the Beiling King was specially made to be extremely hard, this blow would have been cut in two.
King Beiling fell under the horse, his eyes were confused and he looked at the sunken armor, fainting to the ground, Lu Yunli had been by the side of King Beiling, and he was surprised and surprised to see that the swordsman beside Wu Tian was really Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei saw Lu Yunli, and the two exchanged glances without much movement.
Li Bo picked up the King of Beiling at this time, dragged Lu Yunli to Lu Yunli's horse, turned his head to look at Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei was saying something to Wu Tian, looking at this side with a pair of big eyes and a smile.
Lu Yunli couldn't let the King of Beiling die here, so he jerked the horse's buttocks, and rushed straight to Wu Tian on the opposite side, Wu Tian flashed and made a way, Lu Yunli didn't look back, and rushed out of Yancheng.
Li Bo saw that Lu Yunli rushed out smoothly with the King of Beiling, and he fired the signal arrow to retreat, but unfortunately Li Bo was not so lucky, Wu Tian did not intend to let go of the remaining soldiers, and covered up all the way, and all the 10,000 soldiers in the city were slaughtered.
Lu Yunli took the unconscious King of Beiling all the way to the north, and quickly rode out of the city, and found that all the soldiers stationed outside the city were trapped in Wu Tian's ambush, fighting hard, and there were wails everywhere, Lu Yunli only then understood why the reinforcements did not enter the city to help.
As soon as he stopped, he was discovered by the quick-eyed Northwest soldiers, and when he saw Lu Yunli standing alone at the north gate, he immediately swarmed up. Lu Yunli didn't dare to stay, pulled out his ink heart, and slammed the butt of the military horse twice with the knife face, and the military horse was also one of the fastest horses in a hundred, with a long roar, and galloped out. Some of the Northwest soldiers stepped forward quickly, but they were all slashed and stabbed to death by Lu Yunli. Lu Yunli's equestrian skills are good, he galloped wildly, and rushed out of Yancheng seventeen or eighteen miles in one breath, seeing that there were no pursuers approaching behind him, he was a little relieved, and he didn't dare to relax too much, and galloped back to Bingma County quickly.
