Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

The castle built by King Hao Ren is really good. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and is surrounded by dangerous terrain. The outermost layer of the castle is a picket fence, and behind the fence is a moat that is two feet wide. The city wall is more than ten feet high. There are also two protruding horse-faced arrow towers on the city wall facing the west.

Although the degree of Jihu's sinicization is not high, it is not without merit. In the old years, Helian and Hu Xia were stationed in Tongwan City, which was famous for being strong and reliable, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Heishuihu was originally the coolie tribe of the Southern Huns, and must have participated in the construction of this majestic city. Although Helian Huxia has been dead for many years, the skill of building cities seems to have been passed down among his tribe.

Li Tai has traveled to many places and seen many civilian fortifications, but there are not many that are as regular as the castle in front of him.

To build such a castle, technology alone is not enough, and the investment in manpower and material resources is by no means a small amount. It can be seen from this that King Hao Ren is indeed a well-deserved chieftain of the Hu tribe.

It is indeed not easy to break through such a castle, at least not what Li Tai's troops can do now. No wonder the pursuers at the rear were thrown away by them. It turned out that the opponent was completely defenceless.

Li Tai did not know that his alienating words had had a miraculous effect, causing King Hao Ren and the Hu tribes to be busy fighting, but he also knew that time was tight and there could be no delay. If you can't cheat to open the city gate, then you have to escape quickly. You are inferior to others, and there is nothing to be ashamed of if you run again.

Their group was still far away from the castle, so the Jihu soldiers who stayed behind shouted to stop them. Li Dao, who was level 8 in Jihu language and knew Hu Qing quite well, once again acted as a mouthpiece and shouted Li Tai's intention to the other party. declare.

The guards in the city were dubious about this and ordered them not to approach, as if they were asking some big shot for instructions.

"This Liu Zhenqiang is just mediocre. What kind of bullshit Chanyu is calling out his name, and these thieves are still worshiping him without surrendering?"

Li Tai didn't have much time to delay, so he looked back at the way he came. Although the scouts who were watching the enemy's situation in the back had not come to report the enemy's whereabouts, he did not dare to relax, so he ordered: "Tell them, our group can temporarily They stay outside the city, but these horses are tired from running and need to be fed and rested in the city as soon as possible. If the loss of horsepower delays Liu Shanyu's plan, Prime Minister Gao of the Eastern Dynasty will not spare them!"

In the territory that belonged to the Western Wei Dynasty, he had to use the name of rebels and enemies to intimidate others. When Li Tai said this, he felt quite bitter. If it weren't for the good relationship with the boss recently, he really wouldn't want to burn this cold stove, it's so damn lackluster!

When everyone around them heard this, their expressions became a little strange, but now that things were expedient, Li Daobian could only follow the instructions and continue to speak.

This time, the reaction on the city was very quick. After a brief thought, a Hu soldiers commander in charge of guarding the city signaled the city to lower the drawbridge and shouted to them to stay where they were and not to incite. The city sent people to lead the horses.

It is indeed difficult to judge whether they are enemies or friends, but Hu is greedy by nature and is always unwilling to refuse what is delivered to his door. Putting aside everyone's own mounts, they have collected hundreds of idle horses in the past few days, which can be regarded as a valuable asset.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to restrain the horses, Li Tai asked people to smear the ointment on the bellies of more than a dozen horses. Although he was a little reluctant to part with it, he could only reluctantly give up for the bigger piece of fat in front of him.

Not long after, the city gate opened, and a dozen barbarian soldiers stepped out, shouting at Li Tai and others to step back, and then drove the horses through the drawbridge toward the city gate.

Seeing a dozen horses approaching the city gate, Li Tai immediately winked at Zhu Meng and others who had already prepared. They quickly lit the rockets, drew their bows, and shot at the anointed horses in front.

The ointment on the horses ignited when it was exposed to fire. Under the fear and pain, the horses immediately went crazy and ran straight through the city gate. The horses around them were also greatly disturbed, and the horses were commotion and scared away.

"kill!"

Seeing the chaos at the city gate, Li Tai shouted loudly and rushed towards the pontoon bridge first. His followers followed him like a shadow. They quickly rushed towards the suspension bridge and killed the dozens of Hu soldiers who were out for surveillance. .

"Close, close..."

The sudden change occurred, and the guards in the city were also panicked. They shouted warnings and tried to close the city gate again. However, at this time, frightened horses were jumping inside and outside the city gate, and there was no way to get close.

Li Tai and others were shouting and driving the horses from behind, and they rushed into the castle without any hindrance.

Up and down the nearby city, there were more than two hundred Hu soldiers fighting hastily. The horse spear in Li Tai's hand was like a long snake shaking its thorns, and it pierced the forehead bone of the nearest Hu soldier. The blood hole was filled with red and white blood. , instantly flowed across his face.

The castle looked regular on the outside, but it was messy on the inside. Many citizens were disturbed and men and women poured out of the tents and alleys.

Li Tai took the lead and charged straight into the crowd. Li Yantou, Zhu Meng and others in the rear each led their own troops to fight and kill the barbarians on both sides of the city gate.

The horses that were frightened before were also running in panic in the city, not knowing the way forward. When many Hu people rushed out of the country road, they saw the frightened horses rushing towards them. Some panicked and ran away, while others were hit by the galloping horses. Fly several feet.

Li Tai and others kept rushing through the alleyways, killing everyone they encountered. Occasionally, there were a few strong men who could fight, but most of the people they encountered were civilians with crude equipment and weak skills. They were all easily killed and dispersed.

They rushed a short distance before turning into a wide alley. The view suddenly became wider, and a building with high roofs and cornices appeared in front of them, which should be the core area of ​​the castle.

At this time, nearly a hundred armored soldiers had gathered on the open ground in front of the building, and their weapons were far better than those of other soldiers. One of the burly Hu soldiers was standing in the team, pointing at Li Tai and others, glaring and yelling.

Naturally, Li Tai didn't understand what the barbarian was shouting. He clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the good horse suddenly jumped up to half a man's height. He swung his sword condescendingly, and immediately there were several armored men wielding knives to attack. Hu soldiers were swept away by more than ten feet.

When the war horse landed, the shadow of the sword flickered in the left area. Li Tai swung the long sword in his hand from head to tail. The horse was immediately cleared of more than ten feet of space on the left and right sides, but the Hu soldier commander was still screaming and leaping forward to strike at the horse's head. .

"Death to the thief!"

Li Tai was talking about Ma Chao, and Chao Feng smashed his head into the saddle above the head of the soldier.

With a plop, the jumping Hu Soldier's figure fell down steeply, and the iron pieces of the armor flew away in all directions. The Hu Soldier's chin poked straight into his chest, and then he suddenly bounced back up, swinging back and forth several times, and his neck bones were directly broken. !

The troops in the rear used this gap to tear open the enemy formation, slashing with guns and knives. After leaving more than 20 corpses behind, this group of barbarians was completely defeated.

There was no effective enemy resistance nearby. Li Thelema stood at the door of the building. He turned around and asked Li Dao, who was returning from chasing the defeated soldiers: "What did this thief Hu just call?"

"He seems to be saying that Liu Shanyu is still alive and we cannot attack and retaliate..."

The scene was so chaotic and the voices were so noisy that Li Dao couldn't hear clearly. He thought about it for a while before answering.

"It's inexplicable. I care about whether Liu Shan is safe or not...that's not right. Does this thief Hu mistakenly think that we are avenging Liu Zhenqiang? Is Liu Zhenqiang here?"

Although Li Tai was confused, he had no time to think about it, so he asked Li Dao to quickly interrogate where the castle's warehouse was. After learning the location, he led the crowd to kill.

At this time, the battle at the city gate was temporarily over, but the city was still full of chaos. After all, it was a castle that accommodated tens of thousands of people. Those ordinary barbarians might not have the fighting power, but at this time they were all frightened. Several people who entered the city A hundred people are still a handful compared to that.

"Yantou goes to find Master Lang, I will guard this place!"

Zhu Meng asked people to quickly clean up the corpses of people and horses at the city gate, and said to Li Yantou again.

Li Yan didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly that dozens of soldiers followed the direction in which Li Tai entered, and another path of blood flowed.

When he chased to the building before, he saw hundreds of barbarian men and women gathered here, each carrying a lot of soft materials. They waved their long spears and charged into the crowd.

This group of barbarians were also shouting wildly. After being killed and dispersed on the outside, there was still a young barbarian who was well-dressed but panic-stricken inside.

"Is he the heir of Prince Hao Ren?"

Li Yantou was immediately overjoyed when he saw this. He gave up chasing other Hu people and led his troops to stare at this group of Hu people.

These Hu people were also very brave. Facing the fierce attack of Li Yantou and others, Li Yantou did not notice a move and his mount was killed by one of the Hu soldiers. He rolled down and leaned on his two bodies. Dang Kai blocked two knives, and was saved by his comrades in time to regain his balance.

"If I don't die, you will be the ones who die!"

Li Yantou was in danger of death, and the ferocity in his heart was suddenly aroused. He clenched the long spear in his hand, swung it to block two strikes, and then stabbed straight forward. The spear directly pierced the bodies of the two people in front of him, and then stabbed forward. The young barbarian who was being protected had his abdomen pierced.

When Sakon was still fighting fiercely, Hu Zu saw this scene, his eyes were torn apart, and he let out a scream of grief and anger that was too harsh to be heard as a human voice, and he struck straight at Li Yan's head like a fierce ghost who was not afraid of death.

"I killed your ancestors..."

Li Yantou was also shocked when he saw this. He hurriedly withdrew his hand and let go of the horse. He dwarfed and bumped into a soldier on the left, hugged his waist and rolled on the spot. His body was shaken, and he could no longer tell whether the enemy's sword had hit him or not. The body is still close to Hu Zu's body.

When the surrounding comrades saw this, they all tried their best to save him. They fought fiercely and saw blood.

Fortunately, Li arrived and led his troops to rescue them. After a round of siege, they finally killed all the crazy Hu soldiers. When Li Dao looked at the hacked and bloody body of the Hu soldier, he saw that Li Yantou was covered in blood and asked in shock: "Yantou, are you still alive?"

"What kind of beast did I get into?"

After a while, Li Yan stood up abruptly, clasped his mouth and spat out a lot of blood and minced meat, then pointed at the corpse with candied haws on it and said bitterly.

Li arrived and looked around for a moment, but he didn't recognize it either. He then cleaned up the battlefield, picked out a deerskin package from the blood, shook out a sapphire box from inside, and hurriedly handed it over.

Li Dao opened the jade box and briefly looked through the contents. He patted Li Yantou, who was still frightened, and said with a big smile, "Yantou, you have done a great job!"
