Chapter 2 Yan Zhao Fengyun Section 14

Tian Jing closed her eyes with relief.

He was carried to Lulong Tower by Tian Chong. He saw that Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, and Liu Zheng, the Taishou of Youbeiping County, led an army of 3,000 troops that were passing through the Crescent Moon Tower in a steady stream, and assembled in the square one after another. He heard the thunderous sound of war drums. He knew that Lu Longsai would not be lost, and he would return to the hands of the Han people.

The gates of the Lulong Tower were completely open.

Thousands of torches were lit in the square opposite, illuminating the dark night as bright as day. The square was densely packed with heavily armed soldiers. At the head of the procession, in the middle of the city gate, stood a thin, dry old man in a cloth robe, who looked very haggard, but in good spirits. He had a long sword hanging from his waist and the battle flag of the Great Han in his hand.

The soldiers of the Hu coalition army stopped. They were stunned. They couldn't believe what was in front of them. They didn't understand how reinforcements from the Great Han Kingdom could suddenly appear in Lulongse.

On the city tower, Que Ji and his soldiers were still cheering: under the city tower, Wu Yan was sitting on the ground, discussing with Xiong Ba how to capture Lu Long Tower: On Lu Longsai's square, the soldiers crowded behind were still screaming wildly.

On the upper floor of Wangri, the sound of the horn resounded in the sky. Upstairs on Lu Long, the sound of war drums was earth-shattering.

Liu Yu raised the battle flag in his hand, looked back and shouted: "Children, follow me to recapture Lu Longsai, kill ......"

The soldiers behind shouted in unison: "Kill...... Ah......h

Liu Yu was the first to rush into Luronse Square. The soldiers behind him were like tigers descending from the mountain, raising their weapons high, roaring like thunder, like an avalanche, carrying the momentum of thunder, and killed the enemy without hesitation.

Li Hong sat on his knees, staring at everything in front of him in a daze, he couldn't believe it was real. Liu Yu kicked him hard, "Child, stand up, take back Lu Longsai, kill ......"

Li Hong crawled and got up from the ground, and then he was enveloped by the torrent behind him, and rushed towards the enemy involuntarily.

The sound of the bull's horn on the tower disappeared from the air in an instant. Que Ji and the soldiers were dumbfounded. Unbelievable. For a time, they could not wake up from the great joy of victory. Wuyan and Xiong Ba stumbled up the stone steps, their eyes wide open. Falling short, falling short.

"Retreat. Retreat immediately. Xiong Ba shouted.

"Nope." Wu Yan stared at a pair of blood-red eyes, and shouted madly like a fierce god: "Fight, fight with them." ”

"King, the people are exhausted, what's the use of occupying such a stone city? Remove. Xiong Ba was anxious and shouted loudly.

Que Ji on the tower of the city did not hesitate to order his subordinates, sounded the horn of retreat, and the whole army retreated. The soldiers awoke from their shock and retreated like a tidal wave.

Liu Yu held the battle flag high and walked firmly in the middle of the team step by step. Although he didn't know martial arts and couldn't fight on the front line, he felt that his actions could inspire the brave warriors around him and motivate them to fight bravely against the enemy.

The surrounding warriors consciously surrounded him in the middle, preventing an enemy from approaching them. Long arrows came from time to time in the darkness. The warriors who walked in front of Liu Yu did not dodge, preferring to fall down with an arrow themselves than let an arrow hit Liu Yu's side. Liu Yu looked at the soldiers who kept falling, his heart was dripping blood, he waved the battle flag, plucked up the strength of his whole body and shouted: "Children, for the sake of the Great Han Kingdom, kill ah......"

More and more soldiers poured into Lulongse Square through the Lulonglou Tower, overwhelmingly killing the enemy.

The soldiers of the Han army were like rainbows, and the sound of killing shook the sky. The soldiers of the Hu coalition army were depressed and demoralized after the stimulation of great joy and sorrow, coupled with the ferocious obstruction of the Han soldiers, the horn of their own retreat sounded in the night sky, which finally led to the overall rout.

Xiong Ba and fifty soldiers stood on the top floor of the corridor to block the attack, covering the rapid retreat of the army from the city wall. Things in the world are really unpredictable. Just now, it was the Han soldiers who stopped them from going downstairs under the leadership of Chai Ting. In a blink of an eye, it became Xiong Ba leading the Xianbei soldiers to block the Han army from going upstairs.

The gate of Lu Longsai was filled with a sturdy and solid earthen bag by the Han soldiers from the inside to the outside, and the earthen bag with a thickness of three zhang was carried for half a day. They also thought of it at the beginning, so they did not attack the city gate at all, which was not only in vain, but also caused a lot of losses. But now how they wish the door would open. Now they had only one way to escape, and that was to climb over the walls and down the ladder. Due to the darkness and the large number of people, the soldiers were panicked and unorganized, and the castle tower was in chaos, and many soldiers fell to death and were injured.

The soldiers were huddled under the stone steps and could not go up for a while. The Han soldiers who rushed to the front engaged in a bloody battle with the enemy's blocking forces. Often in order to fight for a small step, the lives of more than a dozen soldiers were paid. The battle flag in Liu Yu's hand was taken over by his subordinates. The overall situation of Luronse has been decided, and he wants to see the people who survived the defense of Luronse.

Li Hong was the first to rush to the city tower. His sword flew up and down around Xiongba, forcing him to step back. Xiong Ba's sweat mixed with blood, soaking his whole body. Li Hong quickly forced him to the edge of the city wall. Beyond the city wall, there is a ladder. The surrounding enemy soldiers were shouting frantically, and they were all about to rush forward to capture this escape position. A large number of Han soldiers stepped on the corpses of their comrades and had already rushed to the tower.

Li Hong suddenly turned around, roared, and swung his sword to meet the enemies around him, no longer caring about the Xiong Ba behind him. Xiong Ba suddenly understood, he turned over and jumped onto the city wall, and quickly fled. Li Hong immediately leaned his back against the city wall, firmly occupied a favorable position, and never let go of an enemy again.

In the face of Xiongba, he couldn't do anything. Xiong Ba is the henchman of Dashuai and a good friend of Iron Wolf, and he can't take his life. If you kill Xiongba, Iron Wolf will definitely scold himself for being an ungrateful villain. Without the iron wolf, there would be no own today. Li Hong decided to let Xiong Ba go. In this way, the iron wolf knows under Jiuquan, and he will not scold himself for being an idiot.

Que Ji stood under the city, constantly ordering the trumpeters to blow the trumpets to gather the troops. At this time, we must not be chaotic, we must be stable, and we must give confidence to the soldiers. Isn't it just that the siege failed, and it wasn't that the whole tribe had killed people, so what a panic.

After a short time, the frightened soldiers slowly regained their self-confidence, and they no longer had the fear of the impending catastrophe just now. The soldiers who had fled to the city began to regroup under the command of the Bullhorn. On the city wall, soldiers fled down the ladder one after another.

Uyan lay on the ground, pale. Li Hong's knife was too domineering, and he was very seriously injured. Xiong Ba is in a low mood and extremely depressed. The men who attacked Luronse reached 11,000 men, and after losing eight or nine thousand, they did not even catch a single brick of Luronse. He didn't know how things could have turned out like this. He didn't know how he faced Murong Feng.

Que Ju ordered the troops to prepare for archery.

His men suspected they had misheard, and turned to look at their leader. Que Ji gave him a horsewhip. Suddenly, the horn of the attack tore through the dark night and sounded again under the city of Luronse.

"Order, shoot me all the arrows that can be shot here." Que Ji said coldly.

"My lord, there are still hundreds of soldiers up there who haven't come down." Once again, his men suspected that they had misheard, and opened their mouths to exclaim.

Que Ji didn't hit him this time, but looked at the tragic battlefield with people flying on the city tower, smiled bitterly, pointed to the hundreds of ladders leaning against the city wall, and said sadly: "They can't escape." "There wasn't a single person on the ladder.

On the city wall, more than 1,000 Han soldiers surrounded more than 300 enemies who had not had time to escape, and the two sides were fighting fiercely. Li Hong leaned against the root of the city wall, exhausted, and looked weakly at the bloody battlefield in front of him.

Que Ji shouted: "Release the ......, and continue to fire in unison......"

Nearly 2,000 or so escaped soldiers, with incomparably strong hatred, stood in a neat line and shot an arrow to vent their anger at the city wall of Lulongse.

The arrows whistled in the dark night, flew into the darkness, flew up the towers, and shot into everything that could be pierced upon contact.

Chaos suddenly plunged into the city walls. Some of the soldiers of the Han army fled in all directions, some crawled and hid under the city wall, some lay down on the ground and put their corpses on top of themselves, some looked at the corridor in a panic and prepared to flee to the fortress, and some raised their knives to entangle and kill the enemy in the face of death.

But the speed of escape is nowhere near as fast as the speed of a long arrow. Batch after batch of long arrows did not stop at all, and they poured violently on the tower of the city of Luronse. No life can escape. The people on the tower of the city were like leeks cut down with a knife, and they fell down one after another.

Li Hong looked at the terrible scene in front of him and laughed wildly. He wanted to die and didn't have a chance. He has been killing people all the time, why is he sitting at the base of the city wall, where long arrows can't shoot. He wants to die with them, to live, to live, to kill, to be killed, life has no meaning. He struggled to brace himself and prepared to walk into the fierce rain of arrows.

Suddenly, he saw Ji Ming's sachet, the sachet red with Ji Ming's blood. He froze for a moment.

The soldiers of the Hu coalition army buried the remains of all the soldiers killed in the battle at the foot of Yunshan that night, and then slowly withdrew with wounded soldiers, a large number of siege equipment, and heavy supplies.

After losing almost nine thousand people, they returned with a crushing defeat.

The final blow of Que Ji dealt a heavy blow to the Han army, whose morale was high. Hold on to the city for ten days, and the whole army is only 1,800 men. However, the last blow of the fierce Hu people caused hundreds of casualties to the Han army, and together with the losses in the square, the 3,000 reinforcements lost more than 1,000 people in less than half an hour. The ferocity of the Karasuma people and the Xianbei people deeply shocked the Han army.

The Battle of Luronse is finally over.

The next day, Li Hong was woken up by someone on the city tower. He looked at the smiling but very unfamiliar face, and for a moment did not understand what was happening. He's going to sleep.

"Are you Li Junhou?" The middle-aged man with the sword asked.

Li Hong shook his head. The big man in front of him is burly, with a medium build, a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and three locks of slender beard, looking elegant and mighty.

The man saw Li Hong shaking his head and hesitated. He took a closer look, and then pushed Li Hong, who was asleep, again. Li Hong tried his best to open his heavy eyelids and looked at him puzzled.

"Are you Lord Li?"

Li Hong shook his head resolutely.

"Then are you the tun chief, Lord Li?"

Li Hong's mind went blank. He lowered his head and thought for a while, only to remember that Master Wu Feiwu had told him that he was the head of the tun. There were no troops, so they led people to patrol the city walls at night.

He smiled sheepishly at the man and nodded.

"On the orders of Lord Shi, please wait for Lord Jun to come to Lulong Tower." The man bowed politely and said loudly.

Li Hong couldn't turn around for a while, looked at him blankly, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"In the next fresh, in the auxiliary, the grass word feather line, is the work of the Lord of the Thorn History." Xian Yufu replied very politely.

Li Hong saw that he had been tepid, soft-spoken and polite, and felt that he was very rude, so he hurriedly stood up and gave the other party a salute back, "My name is Li Hong, the word Zimin." Everyone calls me Kuroko. ”

Xian Yufu laughed, and his eyes showed admiration for Li Hong. The two then walked towards Lu Longlou together, chatting casually on the way. Li Hong found that Xian Yufu had a gentle temperament and was particularly modest and cautious.

On the main city wall, the remains of soldiers on both sides have been buried overnight, and many people are scrubbing the blood on the ground and repairing the broken tower. In the square, more soldiers are cleaning up the battlefield. Last night, the fire in the middle of the square had blackened a huge patch of the ground.

"Lord Xianyu, do you know how many people we have left?" Li Hong asked softly.

"In the entire Lulongsai border army, there is only one officer above the rank of commander left, two hundred and thirty-two soldiers. Among them, more than 200 were seriously injured. The border army was defeated. Xian Yufu said sadly.

Li Hong was silent.

"Lord-sama ......"

"I passed away last night. His injuries were too severe to be helped. ”

Li Hong knelt on the ground, covered in blood, exuding a strong fishy smell. The two adults hurriedly asked him to get up.

Liu Zheng, the Taishou of Youbeiping, looked very kind, he first praised Li Hong, and then introduced him to Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou. Li Hong was a little surprised to see that he was the old man who kicked him yesterday. It is really unthinkable for a state and county official to wear a black cloth dress and a pair of cloth shoes.

Li Hong knelt down again.

"Before Lord Tian left, he strongly recommended you to us, saying that you are an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and you will definitely be the pillar of my Han dynasty in the future. We've heard a lot about you, and you're a real teenage hero. Thinking of me as a big man, it is a small Youzhou and there are two heroes who are famous and barbaric, which shows that the talent is prosperous. ”

Seeing Li Hong's puzzled gaze, Liu Yu explained with a smile: "Sun Zhan, the chief historian of the Liaodong vassal country, is just like the little hero, and he is also a hero who makes the Hu people fearful. ”

"Your Excellency praised it. Xia Guan just did his duty, and he didn't have any outstanding achievements. Li Hong really blushed to Liu Yukua, and hurriedly said.

"Don't be humble to your people. Lord Tian told us that you were the leopard who was captured by the Xianbei people under two black wood tokens. Recently, your leopard has become famous in the north, and your head is also worth a fortune. It's just that I didn't expect to be so young. ”

Liu Yu and Liu Zheng looked at each other and smiled.

"Because you are more familiar with Lu Longsai's situation than we are, and now you are a military candidate, I would like to ask how many people Lu Long Sai should send to garrison." Liu Zheng said with a pleasant face.

"Back to the two adults, Wuyan has been hit hard this time, and the loss of personnel and materials is huge, and it is difficult to make any more moves in the short term. And the Xianbei people, the heart of the tiger and wolf, they are always thinking about invading our Great Han Kingdom, and there is still the possibility of attacking within a certain period of time. So I think 3,000 is a basic number. ”

Liu Yu and Liu Zheng had a difficult face and did not continue to speak.

"However, there is a way to make the Xianbei people completely abandon the idea of invading our Han from Lulongsai."

Liu Yu and Liu Zheng exchanged a look of surprise, and almost simultaneously waved his hand for him to continue.
