Chapter 476 - Breaking Through the Danger (I)
This night is destined to make the citizens of Tianjing Pass unforgettable for life, and there is not a trace of wind in the depressed night. Low dark clouds covered the sky, and a boiling scene brewed under the dark night. No one thought that on this night, the residents of Sekijo, who were kind and simple, would make such a crazy move.
After Li Yanneng rushed out of the camp tent, the weapon in his hand was not yet stable, and in the distance, the baggage camp where the grain and grass were stored in the innermost layer of the barracks was bright and blazing. The panicked Northern Han soldiers scurried around, like headless flies. Under the chaos of the Northern Han soldiers, there was also a scream, and a trace of blood rose to the sky in the firelight.
"General, something is wrong, the grain and grass are on fire." A general ran towards Li Yan's tent with a panicked face, his face covered with ashes and blood. When he saw Li Yannengru, he saw a life-saving straw, and there were even more people behind him, and he couldn't tell whether it was the enemy or his own people.
"Bastard thing, what a panic, quickly order someone to extinguish the fire." Seeing this, Li Yanneng was even more furious, and he shouted at the general. Then he stepped and went straight to the grain and grass, after all, he was a general of the Northern Han Dynasty, and he couldn't mess up under such circumstances.
"All the soldiers are divided into two pulls, one pulls people to fetch water and fires, and the other pulls people to gather to clear the enemy army." Li Yanneng shouted loudly to stabilize this chaotic situation. Suddenly, the Northern Han army was divided into two teams, one team went to the camp well to fetch water, and the other team was rushing towards the Great Zhou spies who set the fire.
"You quickly go to the top of the city tower, inform the soldiers defending the city, and raise the vigilance, in case the Zhou army takes advantage of the chaos to attack the city." He called out to the general, who had not yet retreated.
And just when the general was about to turn around, he saw a person flash out of the chaotic Northern Han army, but it was a deputy general under Li Yanneng. The deputy general immediately said loudly: "I am willing to go up to the city tower and defend the city with all the soldiers." Here the general is seated, and he will be safe. ”
Finally, there were still soldiers who did not mess with themselves, and Li Yanneng felt a little relieved. He nodded to the lieutenant and let him leave. And he himself led a group of soldiers to rush at the few men who were still in the flames, as long as they were killed first, and the fire was extinguished, the chaos would be stable.
"Archers prepare." A call came out of Li Yanneng's mouth, and suddenly a row of archers surrounded him,
Ling Tianyun led more than a dozen Great Zhou sergeants to throw all the torches in their hands into the grain and grass in the Northern Han military camp, and they fled quickly outside. It's just that they didn't expect that the general of the Northern Han Dynasty still had some ability, and he made the most effective response so quickly. When they rushed out of the grain and grass camp, they fell into the encirclement of the Northern Han army.
Li Yan could look at the flames rising into the sky, the baggage camp was already full of fire, and it was no longer in a hurry to extinguish the fire. A violent anger surged in his chest, he didn't expect that there were still spies from the Great Zhou army infiltrating this city, and they were still attacking the most heavily guarded baggage battalion in his military camp. With a cruel look in his eyes, he saw the dozen or so Great Zhou spies who escaped from the baggage camp, and he transferred all his anger to these dozen Great Zhou spies.
"Kill, don't leave a single mouth alive." Li Yanneng screamed,
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh", in an instant, the shadow of arrows in the sky shot towards Ling Tianyun and the others who had escaped from the baggage camp.
Ling Tianyun's eyes flashed, and the knife in his hand turned into a cloud of sword shadows, protecting the dozen or so Great Zhou soldiers behind him, and one after another long arrows hit the sword shadows in his wheel, which suddenly turned into a spring rain in the sky, and fell one after another. After a rain of arrows, Ling Tianyun and the Great Zhou sergeant behind him were unharmed.
In the next round, the archers tightened their longbows again, and were about to shoot them, but they saw Li Yanneng swing and stop those archers. He looked at Ling Tianyun and the others with a gloomy face. For some reason, he felt that the boy in front of him gave him a familiar feeling, as if he had seen this boy somewhere.
Sword eyebrows, a black robe, a long knife in his hand that is not brilliant, and then look at the young man's face, he vaguely remembers that he has seen this young man. A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and he remembered that during the day, he had seen a dark-skinned boy in a dilapidated carriage on the castle tower. It turned out that the young man was a spy of Da Zhou, so who was the person in this carriage, he couldn't help but think.
"What a bold man, you dare to burn the grain and grass of my baggage camp, are you really not afraid of death? Can just a dozen people win thousands of soldiers in our army? Say, just tell me who the traitor is in my barracks, and General Ben can give you a happy death. ”
The moment he recognized the young man, Li Yanneng began to wake up, and the dozen or so people could not be unaware of the ghosts and entered the heavily guarded baggage camp. Among them, there must be traitors in the army, and even if they can blend into the baggage camp, they will not be able to succeed easily. So he wanted to know who the traitor in this army was, he didn't know how many of Da Zhou's comrades were mixed in this army, and his mood couldn't be depressed at the moment, the army was actually mixed with Da Zhou's spies, but he didn't take any precautions.
"Life and death are fateful, but when the thieves sneak attack my pass, they still have the face to say such unashamed words, which simply makes the world laugh." A sergeant behind Ling Tianyun shot back indignantly. Ling Tianyun didn't want to expose his identity here too early, he didn't want to be exposed in front of the Northern Han army as the son of Ling Duo, a general of the Northern Han Dynasty.
"Naiwait is really stubborn, and when death is imminent, he will use strong words. Finally, I will give you a chance to name the traitors in our army, otherwise General Ben will make you desperate for death. Li Yanneng's eyes were full of fierceness, he hated the traitor to the extreme, if it wasn't for the traitor, how could the grain and grass in his army be burned so easily by these Great Zhou spies.
The fire in the baggage camp was getting bigger and bigger, and the flames that rose to the sky reflected the surroundings red, adding a bit of solemnity to the tense atmosphere. From the firelight, the smell of burnt grain spread in all directions, and the sound of "crackling" rose and fell.
Li Yanneng felt a pain in his heart, the grain and grass in the baggage camp had run out, and they had no grain and grass, and the next days would be even more difficult. Blame the traitor in the army, and if he were to catch him, he would surely cut the traitor with a thousand knives to vent the hatred in his heart.
"I didn't plan to live when I came, for the honor of Da Zhou, for the sake of my Da Zhou's people. Brothers, let's kill it, kill one enough to make money, and kill two to earn it. The Great Zhou sergeant beside Ling Tianyun shouted categorically, and after speaking, he raised the long knife in his hand and rushed towards the Northern Han Army.
Ling Tianyun felt a trace of helpless bitterness in his heart, he knew that this operation was extremely dangerous, and he also knew that the Great Zhou sergeants who had infiltrated the city might be wiped out. But they joined in without hesitation, because of the glory in their hearts, because they were soldiers of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
More than a dozen Great Zhou soldiers raised their long knives and rushed forward in the rain of arrows. After the sword light, there is blood rising to the sky, and after a round of arrow rain, there will be a fresh face with a relieved smile. The shadow of the arrow and the light of the knife weave the most spectacular scene in this patio city, and the surging blood stains the darkness of the night.
Ling Tianyun's eyes blurred, not only for those Great Zhou soldiers who burned out their blood, but also for those Great Zhou soldiers who had been obsessed with it all their lives. And he was just a hurried passer-by, his blood was exhausted, turning dust and dirt, and the eyes of the Great Zhou soldiers who fell to the ground had already shown the color of seeing death as if they were at home, and their faces were still free and relieved. This is an awe-inspiring soldier, Ling Tianyun may not remember their names completely, but he only remembers that this night, all the honors belong to these Great Zhou sergeants.
Ling Tianyun waved the long knife in his hand and fought a bloody path in the Northern Han army, and his clothes were completely dyed red. The swarming Northern Army had already abandoned its arrows and replaced them with powerful weapons in their hands. The tide of the Northern Han army chased after Ling Tianyun and the others, but there were only two or three people following in Ling Tianyun's footsteps.
Ling Tianyun, who was rushing to the forefront, waved his hand and slashed over a Northern Han soldier holding a spear, the splash of blood shot on his face, and there was a hot feeling that pressed into his heart. There was a dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind him, followed by the screeching sound of a sharp weapon piercing into the flesh, and a muffled snort echoed in Ling Tianyun's ears.
He knew that another Great Zhou sergeant was chased and killed by the Northern Han Army, but he didn't look back, it wasn't that he didn't want to save him. But he couldn't, because he knew that this was their glory and their mission, and as they said, they had no intention of getting out of Patio City alive, and they did. There was a depressed aura in his chest, and he only knew that his throat seemed to be blocked, and all he could do was speed up his pace and escape from the camp of the Northern Han army.
Li Yanneng looked at all this with a pale face, the tenacity of the Great Zhou Sergeant exceeded his expectations, he didn't expect that his hundreds of people would be difficult to take down even the dozens of people on the other side for a while. Although only the last boy was left on the other side, his subordinates were miserable. More than a dozen people on the other side actually killed dozens of their own people, and in the end, they didn't even catch the youngest teenager.
There were no followers' footsteps behind Ling Tianyun, only the footsteps of the Northern Han army chasing and killing, and he knew that he was the only one left at this time. Even if he is a martial cultivator, he is also miserable in the face of hundreds of armoured troops, and the true qi in his body is limited after all, even if he is a congenital realm martial cultivator, it is impossible to fight forever.
The true qi in his body became less and less, and with a slight force under Ling Tianyun's feet, the person rushed out like an arrow off the string. The reason why he has only escaped with all his strength until now is that he just wants to give a testimony to those Great Zhou soldiers who regard death as home, he wants to witness their glory, he wants to witness their pride.
Li Yanneng and the Northern Han army could only watch the young man disappear in front of his eyes like an arrow, a trace of astonishment flashed in their eyes, this young man was hidden so deeply, although he was the youngest, but his combat effectiveness was the strongest.
"Clean up this place, and hang all these Great Zhou troops in front of the city gate early tomorrow morning. Immediately send people to search the whole city, be sure to find out the fish that slipped through the net, and the whole city will be on alert. ”
Li Yanneng issued several orders in a row, and after the issuance, he stood outside the baggage camp, watching the thick smoke billowing up from the camp, and his mood was extremely low at this moment. There was a strong smell of burning grain and grass in his nose, and under his feet was the earth that the Great Zhou Army and his subordinates had tore and dyed, and he felt that everything was over, as if his surprise attack on Tianjing Pass and the defeat of the Zhou army had been wasted overnight.
Even though he was unwilling in his heart, he knew that if there was no news from Zezhou and Luzhou, then he could only abandon the city and go. Can an army without food and grass hold a city, he has never tried, and he does not want to try. He knew he couldn't be good tonight. Suddenly, his heart suddenly shook, a light flashed in his mind, and his face became extremely pale again, a few points paler than the first time.
