Royal Road

Standing in the forest, Zhang He raised his hands and looked towards the distant Jingling City. It’s seven or eight miles away from Jingling. It’s impossible to see things clearly, but in the copper pipe he is holding, let alone the city, even the faces of the soldiers on the top of the city can be seen clearly. .

This is something that Liang Mansion has just developed, and it's called "Thousand Miles". The lens is polished from crystal, which is expected to be a dozen miles away. However, the cost is too expensive, and the crystals that are worthy of use are even harder to find. Therefore, only three of them were made in the mansion, and one of them stayed with him.

Naturally, Zhang He would not waste such a weapon in vain. After observing for a full quarter of an hour, he opened the suede tube hanging on the waist, carefully put the telescope back into the cushioned tube, and said to his side: "Jingling has no plans to send troops. The number of soldiers has not increased, and it seems that the city is indeed empty."

The three cities of Jingling, Zhongdu, and Wuxian are all in the southwest of Qixian County. The distance between each city is less than ten miles, which can be described as facing each other. After regaining Qixian County, the three cities also entered a state of alert. I just don't know which city the deserters who had been routed from Qixian County finally gathered in. After arriving near the Jingling Tomb, Zhang He did not rush to attack the city, but carefully explored the movements of the three cities.

Just this morning, Wuxian had sent troops to help Lishi defending army. But Jingling and Zhong didn't move much. For the time being, Zhongdu didn't say anything about it. Before the Jingling Tomb was captured by the city, there were very few people in the city. If there were not too many guards, it would prove the previous speculation. This city is empty and can be attacked!

"Notify Qixian guards to attack the city tonight!" Without hesitation, Zhang He issued an order.

I don't know whether the frontline has started war now, but their goal has never been to increase the number of troops to attack Lishi, but to fall in front of them. Of these three cities, none of them can be missed!

The sky changed from bright to dark, and then bright again. The guards of the Jingling City were more or less tired after staying up all night. The long night is gone, before the sun has risen, and the sky will be clear. Chengtou, the sudden change!

I don't know when the black-clothed sharp man ambush under the city threw the hook and lanyard and climbed to the top of the city. The hand crossbow fired continuously, the dagger was like the wind, and instantly took the lives of those bewildered guards. Immediately afterwards, the tightly closed city gate was pushed aside from the inside, and two thousand soldiers and horses rushed into the city like an angry wave.

Kill kill kill!

There was no time to deploy defenses, and even the street fighting was unable to organize. The Huns who had never really woken up encountered terrible attacks that were unimaginable. In an instant, the blood was drifting, and it seemed that tens of thousands of wronged souls also emerged from the bottom of the city, tearing their lives. From loudly shouting, to screaming and crying, to silence. An hour later, a group of cavalry rushed out of the city gate and rushed towards Wuxian.

Before midday, a group of horrified cavalry appeared under the town of Wuxian County. The leader rushed to the city and said loudly: "Quickly open the city gate! The Beijing Tomb is broken, and Zhongdu is smashed. Quickly open the city and let me wait in!"

His voice was full of fear, and there were bloodstains on his face. The guard at the top of the city rushed to report it in fright. After a while, the guard at Wuxian stepped onto the top of the city. At a glance, I saw five or six hundred Huns riding on horses with scars, all with blood on their bodies. They were obviously fighting hard, and they were exhausted. They didn't even put away the knives. Taking a closer look, the leader seemed to be familiar with each other, and he quickly said, "Brother Una is here?!"

He spoke in the Hun language, and the man below immediately said: "It's me! Liu Ran, open the gate of the city! Let's go in!"

It really is the guardian of the Jingling City! Liu Ran's heart slammed, Jingling really lost? Zhongdu was also ambushed? Isn't the Jin army going to beat Lishi? Why did you suddenly send troops to attack these cities? Do they still have extra troops?

Looking at the people in the city again, Liu Ran asked loudly: "Why are these people left? Where is your general?"

"General Huyan is out, I rushed out with my brothers desperately! Quickly open the city! Let us in!" Una was almost hoarse, almost crying. The fear on his face was so clear, he turned his head from time to time, as if to guard against the enemy behind him.

Liu Ran looked far away and did not see the ambush. Finally, he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Kaicheng!"

At this time, it is reasonable to say that the city should not be opened. However, the Wuxian Garrison had just received a military order to go to Pingtao to meet the enemy. Now there are fewer than 800 guards in the city, which is really empty. If the two cities of Jingling and Zhongdu were both sinking, it would be Wuxian where he was defending. More than five hundred cavalry, but more than half of the troops. Just this is enough for Liu Ran's heart to move.

Anyway, those who can break through the siege will not be the weak ones, so let's take them into the city and make plans!

The huge wooden gate creaked, and soon the gate opened. Looking at the black hole of the city gate, Una didn't rush the horse on the contrary, but as if staying still, riding on the horse shivered. In front of him, left and right, the accompanying Huns cavalry drove their mounts at the same time and ran towards the city gate. Everyone held a sword in their hands, and the light of the blade flashed a hideous blood under the sunlight.

Inside the city gate, the guards never reacted at all. The cavalry, like tigers and wolves, rushed forward. For a time, they shouted and shouted horribly. Una shuddered even more. When the Jingling City was broken, he had actually been captured by the vicious group of Shangdang soldiers, but the other party had lured the enemy as a condition and gave him a way out.

As long as he opened the gate of Wuxian County, they would be able to let him go. As long as he rushed into Wuxian with this group of Huns who belonged to the Shangdang party, he could survive. Let Liu Ran, who once stood by his side, die for him...

A gust of wind whistled and rolled up, sending thick blood. The fighting in the city still shook the sky, Una trembling and grabbed the reins, fleeing westward with a horse. Fleeing another killing field ghost mythical creature.

On the same day, the city of Jingling was broken, and the city of Wuxian was broken. The next day, together with Qixian, the three cities fought, and all of them offered to surrender!

"Forward! Forward! Can't retreat! Stand firm!" Tian Xun stood in the team, shouting loudly. However, only a few soldiers could hear his voice, and in everyone's ears, there were more rumbling drums and the screaming of the enemy in front of him.

The shield was held up high to resist the shots from the opposite side. Follow the drums step by step and move forward! Meet the enemy! The army cannot retreat even a single step. Only when the army moves forward and the formation is not chaotic can the final victory be guaranteed.

As strikers, they are always the first to meet. There is a big battalion behind him, with more than ten thousand soldiers and horses, but the coach won't act rashly for them. Fortunately, this enemy army has the same size as his own. As long as it is not chaotic, it should be able to stop...

The shield in front of him flickered and disappeared. The soldiers at the forefront moved, not fighting alone, relying on individual bravery to win, but a team of three people watching and attacking. Their formation looked a little embarrassed, and they seemed to be negligent in practice, but facing the Huns who were better at fighting than themselves, this was the best way to survive.

Tian Kui also held a long knife, fighting desperately, shouting constantly, but it was meaningless. Thanks to the lack of the Xiongnu horses, he chose to fight on foot. If this is not the case, I am afraid that just seeing the cavalry, morale will be greatly lost. They can stop them and want to survive!

"Kill! Can't retreat!" Tian Kui roared wildly, like crazy. I don't know whether it was due to high morale or proper command. This one actually resisted the opponent's attack.

On a hill in the distance, a young Huns in armor stood on horseback and looked at the army formation below: "The forward of the Jin army is still brave. They will send 500 people to detour to attack the rear road!"

Grain and grass are always slower than the army, not to mention security concerns, and will not be generously placed in the barracks. This little distance is enough for cavalry to play. A team of people left at the order, but Liu Cong patted and sat down with Ai Ju and continued to stare at the battlefield. As long as the rear army is in chaos, his Qingqi team will immediately be able to enter the battlefield and attack the Chinese army. By then, are you still afraid that you won't be able to kill the coach surnamed Pei?

However, the chaos he was waiting for did not appear for a long time.

The horseshoe rumbling before the heavy camp. The camp leader shouted hoarsely: "Enemy attack! An enemy attack! Hurry up!"

They only had a thousand people, but they came with five hundred cavalry. How can this be guarded? Why did the army in front let the enemy cavalry go to attack the back road?

The battalion officer was tired of fighting, and the three thousand soldiers below were about to go crazy. Who could have imagined that such a situation would have happened just now on the battlefield? Isn’t it said that food and grass are the lifeblood of the army? Why did the enemy attack easily?

However, among the servants, someone shouted: "There are only a few hundred enemies. Just keep the camp gate and prevent them from attacking!"

How to guard? Countless people are in a state of chaos, and there is no way to think of it. However, dozens of strong men rushed out, pushing the cart filled with grain and grass, and placed them in front of the camp gate.

"Use a car! Use a car to block the gate of the camp! They are riding horses and can't jump in! They can't kill anyone!" Zhao Da shouted loudly, inviting a familiar servant, and pushed the cart together.

"We can't stand alone, but they are going to burn food! Without food, how can the wife and children in the family live?"

This is actually a bit confusing. The army's food and grass are naturally provided for soldiers. What does it have to do with wives and children? But these people are all enlisted for their wives and children. Hearing this, it turns out to be more effective than the others. More and more people moved, carts and carts, wanting to stack up another line of defense.

In the heavy camp, some are more than just food. Zhao Da grabbed the silly soldier beside him: "Soldier, we still have a lot of people. As long as we have guns and bows, we should be able to hold them!"

The soldier opened his mouth. Before he could speak, Zhao Da already roared: "Hurry up and camp with the army master!"

Dozens of people rushed out, took their guns and hung their bows, and guarded the simple line of defense. At this time, the Xiongnu cavalry had already repelled the defenders and rushed in. Unexpectedly, such a wall of cars blocked in front of them.

The leader frowned: "Dismount, rush over, and burn their food!"

The three hundred Huns immediately dismounted, raised their swords and bent their bows, and rushed forward. Zhao Da suddenly stuffed a spear into his companion's hand: "Dog, grab it, as long as anyone dares to turn it over, give it to him!"

Wang Gou'er was so scared that he was sifting chaff, but beside him, more people raised their guns and bows. The killing sounded suddenly!

With Dole's sound, a feather arrow flew over the car wall and nailed it into the mud in front of him.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" But how can Zhao Da kill the enemy? Didn't Zhao Da enlist with them? Is it so easy to kill the enemy?

"Kill! Kill!" Zhao Da's roar came over, and the frame of the car wall behind him vibrated. Wang Gou'er was also shocked. He raised his spear and stabbed it out with a hey.

The tip of the gun seemed to be stuck in something, Wang Gou'er looked at the hideous face in front of him stupidly, and the tip of the gun stuck into the Hun man’s leather armor. It seemed to be a little shallow, and he was caught After removing the gun body, with the other hand, he raised the long knife high...

However, the knife did not stabbed. Hearing a puff, another gun grabbed the front and stabbed the Huns severely in the throat. Zhao Da shook his hand and retracted the spear: "Well done! Come again, poke more accurately, and poke where there is no armor!"

Wang Gou'er replied in a muddled voice, but when another face approached the car wall, it seemed as if somewhere in his mind suddenly lit up.

I can kill the enemy too! I can contribute too!

The hand holding the spear was stubbornly held. Following the way of Zhao Da, he also raised the spear and stabbed it out again!

A quarter of an hour later.

"General, the rear army was heavily guarded and did not conquer!" The messenger flew to report.

Liu Cong frowned. The forward dared to fight so much, and the rear army was quite prepared. It seemed that Pei Dun was not a complete mediocre.

"Order to accept troops. Fight again tomorrow!" Now is not the best reality, waiting for the Baibu Xianbei soldiers to approach the city and begin to attack the city.

What he wants to fight is not a simple victory!

"Captain, the enemy has retreated!" The Chinese army also received the letter at this moment.

The rear army was not lost, and the forward also blocked the enemy's attack. It seems that this battle can be fought! Pei Dun, who was waiting left and right and unable to wait for the Shangdang reinforcements, finally showed his first smile today.

He sneered and said: "Order the troops to be closed. Tomorrow, the battle will be opened, and I will completely repel this enemy army!"

The Xiongnu lacked cavalry this time, and the squad that attacked the grain and grass could be repelled by the servant husband. It seems that Lishi's defending army is finally incapable. With only 20,000 horses in his hands, he can handle it!

As for the reinforcements of the Shangdang...Huh! If Liang Zixi really dared to escape before the battle, see how he cleans up the villain at both ends of the first rat after returning to Jinyang!

The golden sound resounded across the battlefield, and the two armies stuck in one place slowly stopped the attack, like some kind of slimy worm, shrinking toward their respective camps.

Killing for a while.

However, in the farther city, a message was also sent to the desk.

"Liu Hu has sent troops, and the subordinates will be together with Baibu Xianbei, there are tens of thousands of people." Liang Feng's expression was as cold as ice. He had already expected that Liu Hu would take this opportunity to attack the city. But I didn't expect that the opponent moved so fast! So many people!

It seems that Liu Yuan is not going to let Hedong go. If one is not good, the state will even have to pay a huge price for this sudden troop.

"Bo Yuan, you lead your troops out of the city and garrison in Longshan in the west of the city. Take advantage of Liu Hu's unpreparedness, attack his flanks!"

"Master!" Yi Yan stepped forward fiercely, "Jinyang City is already empty. If I lead soldiers out of the city, what will happen in the city?"

"There are six hundred soldiers left, and the young and strong in the city, who can always hold on! If Liu Hu is allowed to attack the city, maybe even the army will be in danger." There is no retreat in Liang Feng's voice, "This is to keep. Jinyang, the only way to keep the 20,000 army. You must go out of the city, and you can only win, not lose!"

Black eyes and blue eyes collided, and Yi Yan saw the anger in those star eyes, and saw the same fierce unwillingness and determination. He clenched his fists fiercely, and knelt on one knee: "The last general will take his orders!"
