Chapter Seventy-Seven: Breaking through Pingyin
Li Mu was surprised when he heard the news of the Hun attack, and the Huns generally attacked in winter. At that time, the cattle and sheep were in the winter nests, and the shepherds did not need to graze. Being idle is also idle, so robbery has become a popular amateur activity for the vast number of people in the Xiongnu.
I haven't heard of disasters on the grasslands this year, so why would they send a large army in the summer to try to break through the barrier and rob?
Stand on the Great Wall and look out over the grassland. Smoke and dust billowed between them, and cavalry was constantly galloping back and forth, as if they were doing a large-scale assembly. Looking into the distance, the tents seemed to be able to line up all the way to the horizon. Li Mu felt that his scalp was numb, this was the largest invasion of the Huns in recent years. This kind of thing is not his business alone, and he hurriedly sent a messenger Pegasus to report to King Zhao Huiwen.
"General, look at the campfires of the Huns!" The captain pointed to the campfire in the distance, and Li Mu, who had just returned from patrol, was even more frightened. From a distance, the mountains are full of piles of bonfires. There were people with torches walking back and forth in the camp, and in the distance there were two sinuous fire dragons converging, and looking at the scale, each team looked like three or four thousand people.
"Send an envoy over and ask the Huns what they are going to do?" The territory of the Huns on the other side, theoretically speaking, no matter what the other party is doing, Li Mu can't control it. But there are tens of thousands of Hun troops on the opposite side, and it seems that there is a steady stream of backups, and no one can sleep.
The messenger went out in the morning and returned at noon. It seems that the Huns are quite picky, and they haven't even prepared a lunch.
"What is the situation with the Huns?" Li Mu asked with a calm face. The envoys not only went to the envoys, but also to reconnoitre.
"Back to the general's words, he met the Hun Zuo Dadu. According to him, it was Da Shan Yu who was training soldiers and horses. I won't invade my Dazhao border. ”
Li Mu's nose was almost crooked. Tens of thousands of troops were hoarded on the opposite side. said that it was just a drill for soldiers and horses. It's not to come to intrude on the border, the pig will believe.
"I'm asking what the Huns' military appearance is?" Li Mu's fingertips were about to poke the messenger's face.
"The Huns are at their peak, and there are about more than 10,000 people in the left capital. In the distance, there seemed to be soldiers and horses marching here, and the Hun army was at least fifty or sixty thousand, and the number seemed to be increasing. ”
"Hurry up eight hundred miles at once, and report to the king." Li Mu knew that if there were really fifty or sixty thousand Hun troops. The 100,000 people under his command can't bear it. What's more, the number of people on the other side is still increasing.
"Whoa!" Immediately, a military academy responded and rushed out.
Blowing away the sweaty envoys, Li Mu and the generals began to study the map. Where will the Huns break through. And what is the purpose? Discussed for a night, but nothing came of it.
When King Huiwen received Li Mu's warning, he was also frightened. The Huns actually gathered a large army on the border, if they were killed by these barbarians. That's a! He immediately issued an order to dispatch the Zhao army to the Zhao-Hun border, and at the same time ordered Li Mu to strictly defend and not let the Huns cross the border one step.
The old dog was lying on the ox cart, with a mat on his body, and Xiao Qiu and Zheng Bin drove the ox cart forward. Behind him, more than a dozen big men in sackcloth escorted the ox cart into Pingyin City.
"Hey! How many of you stand? What for? "A guard guard saw such a group of big men entering the city. Immediately stopped and asked.
"If you go back to the official, my uncle went out hunting. As a result, I met the Huns. Twice slashed. The Huns sent people to ask for money, and it took five bags of grain to exchange the people back. No, go into the city to find a medical center, it's best not to be disabled. These are all folks, don't worry about following and seeing. My uncle has injuries on his body, do you see that he is accommodating? Zheng Bin said, and without a trace, he gave the sentry a string of copper coins. He spoke with a Zhao Di accent, but it did not arouse the suspicion of the sentry chief.
Lifting the reed mat, the sentry chief looked at it. Sure enough, it was a big man, and he had injuries on his arms and legs. Some herbs had been applied, but the flesh was turned over to reveal the crimson muscles inside. This is definitely a knife wound that can't be faked, but it's a pity that such a strong man is now dying and has become a plague chicken.
"It's not easy, forget it! Don't toss the wounded. Ay......! The way of the world. I heard that the Huns were confronting General Li Mu, and it looked like there was another battle. Fortunately, it's far away from our Pingyin. Release, release! The sentry commander muttered a few words and waved at the soldiers. Let Zheng Bin and them pass.
The oxcart was close to Pingliang City, and even Yun Yue didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Dozens of bearded knights, disguised as all kinds of people, infiltrated Pingliang City. However, they have one thing in common, that is, they are not armed. The most, that is, there is a pair of flat shoulders and two baskets of vegetables.
Because he didn't carry weapons, he was dressed as a grizzled peasant. The city gate officials didn't bother to pay attention to these poor men, and let them go after collecting the tax on people.
At midnight, in the corners of the city walls. The dying old dog was now as energetic as a wolf, and his eyes shone green in the dark. The knights gathered together and took their sabers from the ox-cart under the old dog, and even a few bows and arrows.
No one spoke in the darkness, just looked at each other. Then he touched the city gate by sticking to the root of the city wall, and according to the agreement, Yun Yue had quietly touched the outside of Pingyin City with a thousand Huns and Yunjia cavalry.
Five Zhao sergeants patrolled to a street corner, and a group of black-clothed men suddenly emerged in the darkness. Those big men were very professional, covering their mouths with one hand and holding a dagger up to their necks with the other. They are all veteran murderers, and they cut their throats with a single knife. The next step is to make a cut along the ribs, and the third rib is inserted diagonally into the heart. Those Zhao soldiers didn't have a chance to shout, and they died in Huangquan.
A few guys quickly changed into Zhao Jun's clothes and picked up Zhao Jun's weapons. Patrol towards the city gates, when the number of such patrols increases to three. Zheng Bin had already arrived in the city gate cave, "It's summer, it's quite cold at night." ”
"Yes! That's all there is to the Northland...... The soldier realized that it was too late for the man to know him, and the sharp saber slashed through his throat accurately. There were a few more dying people who were convulsing on the ground in the city gate hole, and Zheng Bin and the others began to move the thick city gate bolts.
At the same time, a similar scene took place on the castle tower. The old dog was wearing a Zhao Jun suit that didn't fit well, and he limped to the rear. As soon as the signal to move was issued, the head of Sergeant Zhao beside him flew up.
Before the soldier could understand what was going on, his hand rattled twice on his cavity. It was just a hand of blood sprayed, but it didn't touch the head. took two steps forward before falling to the ground with a "poof".
The old dog jumped on one leg and rushed to the drawbridge, and the other guard looked at each other. The winch began to turn, and the chain creaked, and soon the drawbridge was halfway down.
Someone lit a torch and shook it in the wilderness, but heard an exclamation from the tower: "Who is putting the drawbridge, someone is coming!" Someone is attacking the city! ”
The night was silent, and this voice was tantamount to a thunderbolt. Dozens of Zhao soldiers rushed out of the city tower, and the old dog saw that the other party was outnumbered. simply took the saber and slashed at the chain, one, two, and three times. The bronze chains were slashed with sparks, and the sharp saber was embedded deep in the chains.
The "Kara" chains were overwhelmed and cut in two. The guard on the other side was not as strong as the old dog, and he didn't cut it even after a dozen cuts. But he was shot by an arrow behind him, and the sharp arrow pierced through his chest, and the guard spat blood and fell to the ground crookedly.
The old dog jumped and jumped, and he didn't care about the wound cracking at this time. Picking up the saber, the "click" and "click" slashed the drawbridge.
In the cave of the city gate, there was a "squeaky rattling" sound. The gate of Pingliang City suddenly opened, and countless torches were lit in the dark night. A group of black-armored cavalry and Huns blew into Pingyin City like the wind.
Seeing Hou Ye enter the city, the old dog sneered and walked towards the Zhao soldiers who rushed over with his saber.
The sky gradually brightened, and the calm and coolness that had been chaotic all night gradually settled down. The old dog sat on the rampart, his back against the battlement. He pressed his saber the ground, and he didn't fall down. The corpse of Sergeant Zhao was surrounded by him, and blood stained his clothes. I don't know if it's his, or those Zhao Jun's.
A round of red sun rises from the horizon, and a new day has changed owners when it comes to Kepingyin City. Gongzi Kuang was still on an envoy in Yan Kingdom and did not come back, and Yun Yue unceremoniously walked into the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. The entire city lord's mansion was in shambles, and the bodies of two naked women were lying on the ground. The head is three feet away from the body, and the red, white and white look is very eye-catching.
"Tell Amu to kill one more person, and I will cut him." Yun Yue gave Ao Canghai a command, and strode inside.
The Hun soldiers went crazy, and there were gold, silver and jewels everywhere. The city was broken too suddenly, and many people were still asleep until the gate of Gongzi's Mansion was knocked open.
This is different from the previous breaches of the city, where a large amount of goods are always buried in the ground. Or find a way to hide, this time it can be said that it is very rewarding. Amu, the commander of the Commander of the Left Commander, was very pleased, and this time he only lost a dozen people. Compared to the harvest, it is not worth mentioning at all. A prince's mansion is already so rich, and I don't know how much floating wealth can be scavenged in those houses outside.
It's just a pity that those delicate beauties don't let them move. Before leaving, Captain Zuo also instructed that this way should be arranged by Yunhou. Amu swallowed, resisting the urge to pull a woman over to vent his anger.
A steward-like guy knelt on the ground, his head bobbing up and down like a kowtow worm.
"Spare your life! Spare your life! The little one is just a steward, nothing is and nothing is known. ”
"My name is Yun Yue, and I am the enemy of your son-in-law. Since he's not at home, it's not hard for me to be sorry for you people. Go and come out of the castle guard, I have something to say to him. You tell him that this is a matter of life and death for Pingyin's father. (To be continued.) )
