Chapter 9: Capture the Thief and Capture the King
Wu Yue led the army to retreat a thousand meters west in frustration, and was thinking about going to the Baihe, how much face should he lose when he lost his army, how much face should he be scolded, whether he would be dismissed by Emperor Haotian and his whole family, or the whole family would be beheaded!
Thinking of this, Wu Yue was startled and looked up! No, I can't go. I still have so many soldiers, and I still have a chance to fight—— Wu Yue is really a little enchanted.
At this time, the rain stopped, and the sky above revealed a crescent moon and a starry sky, as if the rain just now had nothing to do with the sky, leaving only the refreshing night wind, the muddy earth, and the painful murmur of the soldiers floating in the night: sigh......
Wu Yue asked the whole army to stop and rest on the spot, and called all the generals. After two days of rushing and insufficient rations, the soldiers were so tired and tired that they stopped and leaned against the trees, or leaned against each other's backs, and fell asleep one after another.
Wu Yue and the eight leading generals gathered on a hard and high grass under the starlight, and Wu Yue said in a low voice: "Brothers, in this battle, we will lose our troops and lose the city, and we are afraid that we will lose ......our heads when we go back."
The generals were silent and lowered their heads slightly, not knowing whether they were sad or had their own thoughts.
Wu Yue continued: "It is estimated that we still have more than 20,000 soldiers, 20,000 of them!
The generals looked up, and there seemed to be some sparkle in their eyes.
Wu Yue saw that the generals raised their heads, became more excited, and analyzed: "Judging from the fight just now, we still have hope. Our soldiers rushed up, and at the gate of the city, their masters did not dare to rush up!"
Li Hun let out a "hmm", and the rest of the generals either nodded or thoughtfully - considering the possibility of surrounding.
"I know that everyone thinks this person is too powerful and not easy to surround, but if we attack their boss, then he will have to stay there and not leave!" Wu Yue came up with an idea.
"Then what if they stay in the city and don't come out?" one of the generals questioned.
"They are few in number, and if we attack the city on both sides at the same time, they will not be able to hold the gates. Wu Yue immediately responded, "In addition, I ordered someone to cut down some big trees nearby to use to break open the city gate." I underestimated them before. ”
Wu Yue's analysis was the first to go, and the generals couldn't help nodding one after another.
So, Wu Yue ordered the whole army to rest in place, and ordered people to cut down big trees.
Early the next morning, the sky was slightly bright, the ground was still damp, the generals of the Haotian Army slept in wet clothes for half the night, and finally dried the clothes with body temperature, and the fatigue disappeared, but many soldiers were slightly weak, and it seemed that some of them were about to be sick.
Wu Yue's order: The whole army is ready.
After a chaotic sound of "sizzling", Haotian soldiers overwhelmed the weeds on the ground and stood up, although they did not stand neatly, but they were very quiet, waiting for Wu Yue to say whether they could go back, and there were not many soldiers willing to fight the battle that could not be won.
Wu Yue raised his voice and said to the Hao Heavenly Soldiers: "Brothers, we lost the battle and lost the city, so going back like this is a matter of losing face, and going back may also be the pain of prison." ”
"Buzz......" All the Hao soldiers turned their heads one after another.
"What should I do?"
"Oh my God, it's not like I don't kill ...... dead"
......
Hearing the complicated discussions, Wu Yue also had a little headache, and hurriedly shouted: "Quiet, quiet!"
The discussion quieted down and died down for a while.
Wu Yue said again: "Now we have a way to go, and that is to fight to the death!"
"Wow~" There was another commotion below.
"Silence! Listen to me!" Wu Yue shouted angrily, his voice quieting again.
Wu Yue said: "Their masters are mainly assassinating generals, we are not afraid, what are you afraid of! Besides, they have few soldiers, and the lethality of one or two of his masters is far less than that of an army with the same strength! So we still have hope!"
When the soldiers heard this, they thought about it and seemed to make sense, the possibility of dying in such a battle was smaller than that of other deaths, so what were they afraid of? So they all raised their heads and looked at Wu Yue with blazing eyes. At this time, the early sun shone through, and everyone felt that there was a light in front of them.
Wu Yue was satisfied, and shouted the order: "Listen to my orders! Li Hun led 10,000 soldiers to attack the east gate on his shoulders! The rest followed me to attack the west gate!"
"Yes!" Li Hun replied loudly, leading 10,000 Haotian troops, carrying two giant trees with a diameter of half a meter and eight meters long, and rushed towards the east gate in the sun.
After more than ten minutes, Wu Yue also led his troops to set off, also carrying two giant trees.
Soon, Wu Yue led his troops to a place two hundred meters away from the West City Gate and stopped, looking at the dead bodies all over the ground, occasionally moaning on the ground without breathing, the soldiers couldn't help but cry sadly, who knows if the next one to fall will be himself?
Wu Yue ordered the whole army to stop and sent 200 people to carry away the corpse. At this time, there were already Jin Yuan soldiers cleaning up the corpses, but the clothes of the two armies were too similar, or there was no difference, they were all coarse linen clothes, and the corpses were also moved to the side and piled up.
Tong Dashuai, Qin Hao and other generals also heard the report, saying that Haotian soldiers were here again, and they all climbed the city wall to watch, looking at the corpses all over the ground and the blood flowing on the ground, they couldn't help but burst into tears. But for whom do you feel sorry?
Half an hour passed, and the corpses were carried to a short distance outside the city and piled up into a small mountain, and the soldiers looked even more sad......
The sun became more violent, dispelling some of the sorrow in my heart.
Marshal Tong ordered the city gates to be closed.
Marshal Tong looked at the Haotian Army and the two giant trees that were still being prepared, listening to the report, the East Gate also had such a force, and was also preparing to attack the city, his heart trembled, I don't know which pile he would be outside the city?
Knowing that there was a huge disparity in the strength of the Dao Dao, and the black chicken could no longer hold it, Tong Dashuai asked the generals who were still grieving: "What do you think of Haotian's siege?"
The generals were silent. Tong Dashuai glanced around, and all his eyes lowered his eyelids—except for Lei Ming and Yang Tian.
When Tong Dashuai was about to ask Ji Leiming, Mr. Wen spoke: "Dashuai, why don't we withdraw, abandon the city and retreat." Keeping it is not being able to hold it. ”
Qin Hao raised his head and said, "Mr. Wen, we only have more than 6,000 people left, if we are pursued all the way, I don't know how much Lu Dao can escape back?"
"That'...... Then you have to ......" As he spoke, Mr. Wen turned his head to look to the side, and everyone followed his gaze, which was staring at the thunder of the corpse mountain, and Yang Tian who was looking around next to him.
The generals bowed their heads, and Tong Dashuai shook his head and sighed.
Yang Tian looked around, seeing that the Haotian Army was about to rush in, he was self-preservation, and he was powerless to rush and kill, and found that the surrounding atmosphere was dull, he asked: "Dashuai, the Haotian Army is here, why haven't you decided to stay?"
Mr. Wen sighed and said softly: "It was good to retreat in the dark last night, who knew that Wu Yue actually had the will to die!"
Tong Dashuai was shocked when he heard this, yes, is it time to go or stay?
Tong Dashuai's eyes were firm, and he raised his voice and said: "Pass my order! The generals will prepare and concentrate at the East City Gate, and we will evacuate from the East City Gate!"
The generals went very neatly to carry out the order, because they all knew that if they stayed here and fought with them again, there would be only a dead end;
Wu Yue saw that the corpse had been cleaned up, and shouted an order: "The archer brigade listens to the order! Cover the door-slamming team! The whole army listens to the order! Rush forward! Kill~!"
"Kill~!" Haotian's more than 10,000 soldiers shouted with all their might, quite overwhelming.
Tong Dashuai looked at the Haotian soldiers who rushed to kill, and was actually stunned.
Mr. Wen shouted: "Great handsome!
Tong Hui came back to his senses and responded: "I know the way." Let's go, I'll keep watch over here. ”
"No, you're the backbone, and if you're not there, they won't be able to leave!" Mr. Wen insisted.
Lei Ming glanced at the Haotian Army who was rushing in front of him, and said to Tong Dashuai: "You all go, I'll stop it here, and I'll meet you in a while." ”
Then, Lei Ming said to Yang Tian again: "Yang Tian, protect the handsome." Stay safe!" After saying that, he jumped off the city wall and went straight to the Haotian army that rushed towards him.
Seeing that the matter had come to this, Tong Dashuai felt guilty in his heart, shook his head and sighed heavily: "Let's go!" took the lead and ran towards the corner of the city wall, Mr. Wen and Yang Tian hurriedly followed, and the guards on the city wall also put away their bows and arrows, and quickly withdrew the city wall.
Wu Yue saw a person fall from the city wall from a distance, and after a while, he saw that the person was still heading straight towards the Haotian Army. It's bad, this person is thundering, Wu Yue concluded. Thunder can leave a lot of psychological shadows on him.
So he panicked and ordered: "Shoot him!"
"Whoosh~whoosh~" scattered arrows shot out of the lun, only to see a lot of arrows shot out of the road I don't know where the road flew to, running very out of standard, shooting near him saw him pull out the "sword" and dodge it. After a while, the arrows stopped.
Wu Yue scolded: "Why stop! Shoot quickly!" At this time, Lei Ming was still about fifty meters away from the Haotian Army.
One of the generals reported: "Commander, we have run out of arrows. ”
"Stupid! stupid!" Wu Yue pointed at the general and scolded, and then shouted: "Pioneer Liao Yun!
Liao Yun commanded two thousand spearmen, rushed to the front, and hurriedly responded: "Yes!"
Then, I saw the thunder and the Haotian army colliding together, and the Haotian army rushed to the mainstay like a river, and with a bang, it diverted to both sides. Near the two sides of the thunder were the spearmen commanded by Liao Yun, who rushed through and immediately rolled back, one by one carrying out the order to surround the thunder, and the farther ones continued to rush towards the black chicken city - this is the city wall is empty, as long as the city gate is smashed open with a giant tree, the city can be occupied.
"Ho~" The mainstream of the Haotian Army rushed to Wuji City excitedly. It's just that the thunder is stopped by the pillar of thunder, but it's miserable, thunder thunder luck light skills,—— he called himself phantom step - five or six thunders came out of the ground, and the vanguard with a gun was about to stab forward was dumbfounded, which one should be stabbed? No matter what, stab one indiscriminately, so many people can always stab!
It was just stabbed violently, empty, and the figure gradually dissipated, and the soldiers were stunned.
Suddenly, the soldiers felt a gust of wind coming, and felt a little hot in their necks, so they all touched it: "Mom! Blood! They just thought about it in their hearts for a while, but they couldn't shout, it turned out that their throats were broken. Then they felt the world spinning, and they fell and didn't know what to do.
It turned out that Lei Ming used eighty percent of his skill to perform light skills, staggered his body suddenly, and poked the neck of the nearby soldier with a Tang knife, and then rushed through the gap in his middle.
Then he stabbed when he saw the soldiers, and when he saw the guns, he pulled them all the way upstream, and the soldiers in front of him fell behind him. There was no shouting, only struggle, because it was all a knife to the throat.
Wu Yue stood in command in the rear, and saw that Lei Ming was surrounded, and the rest of the soldiers were about to hit the city gate, and the joy in his heart was overflowing on his face. Liao Yun ran over in a panic and reported: "Dashuai, hurry up and transfer! That thunder is not a person, and he can't be surrounded at all." He's rushing straight to Dashuai's side now!"
Wu Yue's face was very exciting, he first smiled with joy, then with anger, and then with horror. Without saying a word, he turned and ran. After running ten meters, he wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, and said to Liao Yun, who was still stunned over there: "Your vanguard army will surround me in the direction of his advance! I'll go somewhere else to see! The guards follow!"
At this time, two door-knocking teams of the vanguard troops came to the city gate, and they shouted slogans: "One, two, three, hit!"
"Knock! knock!" both groups slammed into the city gates at the slogan.
"One, two, three, bump!"
"Knock! knock! click~" The city gate was a little loose.
......
"One, two, three, bump!"
"Knock! knock! click~huh~!" The city gate opened halfway.
The team was overjoyed, and the leader shouted: "Come again! One, two, three, hit!"
"Knock! knock!" the two gates fell.
"Ho~ The city gate is open!
The soldiers rushed in with joy, but the smoke rose from the location of the granary in the city and the empty houses around them, and the soldiers were stunned. The soldiers in the back didn't know why, and when they saw that the front was not moving, they hurriedly screamed and scolded and squeezed in, and when they saw the smoke in that position, they were also petrified on the spot - their stomachs were rumbling.
It turned out that Tong Dashuai was ruthless in his heart, he couldn't run, and he wanted to let them have nothing to eat, so he ordered someone to set fire to all the food that was not taken away......
Lei Ming heard the sound of "knocking on the door" over there, and knew that it was not interesting to entangle the road any longer, so he was ruthless, and with ten percent of his strength, he rushed out of the gang diagonally to the right side, and brought the gun when he saw it, and dialed it when he saw someone, and ran out of the encirclement in one minute. Taking a breath, he ran around the city with all his strength, leaving shallow footprints on the wet ground.
The living Haotian Bing looked at the shadow and sighed, but fortunately he was not on the way he went......
Wu Yue, who was still in the process of transferring, saw smoke rising from the Wuji City from a distance, and shouted: "Oops!" and then saw the thunder running away from the siege, so he shouted at Liao Yun, who was looking at the back of the thunder in a daze in the distance: "Liao Yun! Follow me straight to the east gate! The rest of the people put out the fire!"
Liao Yun ordered all the spearmen to follow Wu Yue closely, not daring to make a sound.
Lei Ming quickly went around the city to the east, and watched from a distance as the Haotian army blocked the east city gate, fighting with the Jin Yuan army who was about to come out. It turned out that the city gate was guarded for a long time, and it was also knocked open by a giant tree, and the Haotian soldiers wanted to rush in, but there was still food inside; The two armies were holding each other here, and Tong Dashuai, Qin Hao, Mr. Wen, Yang Tian and others were all commanding on the city wall.
Lei Ming saw it, and secretly screamed badly, if he didn't rush out again, the Haotian army that entered the city from the west would be left behind.
Looking at the Haotian Army again, I saw that there were several generals behind Haotian who were pointing and pointing. Well, capturing the thief and capturing the king is the best way to make a quick decision, so let's cut them down. Lei Ming made a calculation, ran a hundred meters further east, and hid east to a hundred meters behind Li Hun's army.
Li Hun and the four main generals were pressing the formation behind, seeing that the city gate had been broken, and the master had not yet appeared, he thought that he was entangled by Wu Dashuai of the West Gate, and was happily discussing with several generals what to do after entering the city, completely ignoring the danger that was approaching.
Lei Ming took two deep breaths, then lifted his breath, and rushed forward with the Tang knife in his left hand. When the thunder was still fifty meters away from Li Hun and the others, Li Hun and the others suddenly had their right eyelid jumping, and an inexplicable chill rose from the bottom of their hearts. A general standing on the far right had goosebumps on his body, and he couldn't help but tremble and said, "Why isn't the sun hot?" After speaking, he looked back, only to see a figure crashing straight over, "Ah!", and the end of the note was broken. The other people saw that there was a black shadow on the ground, and they quickly moved, and after a while, they felt that the heaven and earth were leaning to the left, and then the heaven and earth lost their color, and it was dark.
The guards who got close heard the shout, turned their heads, and saw the heads of the five commanders fall to the left and fall to the ground, and then blood spurted from their necks more than a meter high, and then the five bodies fell limply to the ground.
was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Ah~...... Commander Li is dead!" shouted and ran away.
When the soldiers near him heard this, they looked back and saw that they were dead, and they also ran ......away shouting "ahh
This fear spread rapidly from the back to the front like a plague, spreading the news of Commander Li's death, and the entire attacking Haotian Army was about to explode like a volcano before the eruption.
Lei Ming put away his knife and stood still, and luck roared: "The commander is dead!
"Ah~!Run away~!" An impressive roar came from behind, and the Hao Heavenly Soldiers could conclude that the Commanders were dead, and this demon could not be prevented. The entire Haotian Army exploded, and they scattered to both sides - the city gate couldn't be squeezed in, and there were demons in the east, so they could only run to both sides.
Tong Dashuai and the others heard the roar, watched the birds and beasts of the Haotian Army disperse, and knew that the thunder came to help, and the joy in their hearts came to their faces. Tong Dashuai looked into the distance and saw a person standing alone under the eastern sun in the distance, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, there is thunder." All the troops out of the city!"
Yang Tian pouted and snorted secretly: "Stinky!"
There was no time to clean up the corpses on the ground, Wu Yue still had more than 10,000 soldiers there! The Jin Yuan army quickly rushed out from the East City Gate.
When half of the Jin Yuan soldiers left the city gate, Wu Yue turned out of the south corner of the east city and rushed straight towards the Jin Yuan army!
It turned out that in the process of Wu Yue's circumambulation of the city, he met the fleeing Haotian army, and when he asked, he knew that Li Hun and other generals were dead, so they were defeated. Wu Yue thought about it, his martial arts were better than Li Hun, and he was chased by Lei Ming three times and avoided it, so there was no problem in escaping. Jin Yuan's departure from the city was the best time for Lu to attack, and they had no cover. Well, just do it, and make or break it here.
So he led the Haotian army straight to the east gate.
Tong Dashuai heard the momentum of attack from the south, and his bloodless face turned even paler, if he was rushed, it would all turn into mud.
"Enter the city!" Tong Dashuai shouted wildly with a short sword, ignoring the pain in his chest.
Mr. Wen was just about to start running into the city, when he saw Tong Dashuai standing in place, he had no intention of leaving, so he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Tong Dashuai's right arm with his sword, and said, "Dashuai, enter the city quickly!" Stay in the green mountains, even if there is no firewood!"
Tong Dashuai didn't want to leave, but Mr. Wen pulled it and didn't pull it.
Lei Ming saw that retreating into the city could not solve the problem, so he thought about it and drank Wu Yue back. So, he ran a few steps to the root of the city wall, jumped up, ran a few steps to the south, and saw Wu Yuejun shouting and killing and approaching, he carried eighty percent of his strength in his throat and shouted: "Haotian stop!" Everyone present stopped when they heard this earth-shattering shout.
"Haotian stop!" a faint echo came from afar.
"If you don't retreat, I'll kill all the generals!"
Haotian soldiers looked at each other one by one, not knowing where to go.
Wu Yue was furious, my 10,000 army was still drunk back by a yellow-mouthed kid of yours? impossible!
Wu Yue shouted: "The whole army obeys the order!
At this moment, two generals shouted, "Let's withdraw!"
Haotian Army was at a loss.
"Liao Yun, you dare to disobey!" Wu Yue was furious, "Guard, cut Liao Yun for me!"
When Liao Yun heard this, he was also angry, and shouted: "Wu Yue is absurd and unreasonable! The leader of the troops is incompetent! The soldiers are lost! We will die if we go back! I am willing to surrender! The vanguard army, come with me!" After speaking, Liao Yun led most of the vanguard army to the east, leaving a few soldiers who refused to surrender in place and did not know where to go.
Wu Yue snorted angrily, it turned out that he was so angry that he almost vomited blood and was swallowed back. He raised his hand and pointed at Liao Yun speechless.
"Kill! kill these traitors first!" Wu Yue ordered angrily.
It's just that the Haotian army did not move, and their respective commanders did not give orders. Suddenly, "Withdraw!" The other three generals shouted at the same time, and there was a sound of stampede, except for the two hundred guards, the other Haotian soldiers ran away. When Wu Yue saw it, he pointed his finger and turned around for half a circle, and asked: "...... you guys" and then with a "poof", he spit out a mouthful of black blood—— which had been accumulated for a long time.
Then the guards also took advantage of Wu Yue's inattention and ran nearly a hundred. Wu Yue said dejectedly: "Guards, you are all scattered." When the guards heard this, they dispersed a lot, and only five of them refused to leave. Wu Yue looked at the five people, nodded, and then pulled out his saber with a "brush", Ha Luha laughed wildly, spit out a few points of blood, and shouted: "Thunder, come and fight me to the death!"
Lei Ming saw that most of Wu Yue's army was evacuating, so he took advantage of the situation to force up, and when there were only five Wu Yue's guards left, he was only twenty meters away from Wu Yue.
When Lei Ming heard it, he knew that the general would rather die on the battlefield than kill himself, and shouted: "Good general, I will fulfill you!" After speaking, he rushed straight over, drew his knife and slashed head-on. Wu Yue habitually blocked the sword horizontally, only to hear the sound of "bang", the sword broke, and the knife slashed obliquely from the shoulder to the waist with a "poof". Wu Yue smiled, closed his eyes, and the two bodies fell apart.
Seeing that Wu Yue was dead, the five guards drew their swords and killed themselves, fell on their backs, and did not move after two convulsions.
At this time, the sun was half a day high, and it was still some distance from noon, but the thunder still shone on the ground and left a figure half a meter on the ground.
