Armored all over the sky, Hu Qi shouted and shouted.
Outside the city of Kaifeng, there is a battalion hundreds of miles away. The Taipingdao bandits from Jizhou, with green scarves on their heads and armor in hand, are orderly building earth hills on the east, west, south, and south sides of Kaifeng. The earth hills outside were almost at the same level as the top of the city.
In the northwest of Kaifeng Mansion, there is a vast river, with countless buildings, ships and warships shuttling through it, and in many places there are iron cables as thick as thighs, completely blocking the waterway approaching Kaifeng Mansion.
The 100,000 troops from Taiping Road, together with the 30,000 cavalry from Donghu, have besieged Kaifeng Mansion for more than three months. In a fiery heat.
On the watchtower at the head of Kaifeng Mansion, Xu Zhengyi accompanied the "Happy King" Huangfu Yanzhao, quietly waiting for the end of the old prince's daily inspections.
With a soft snort, the old prince dug his ears and said coldly: "Fu Yao has a way of cultivating Taoism, but he is not good at managing soldiers. There is an old saying: surround three ques and one, and say: ten are surrounded , Five times to attack, double to divide... I have 20,000 elite soldiers in Kaifeng Mansion, he has been besieging Taiping Road for a long time, fighting and not fighting, withdrawing and not withdrawing, staying here is wasting food, it is really stupid."
Xu Zhengyi chuckled, and replied: "It's no wonder Fu Yao. Nalan Chengji is a ruthless character. If the alliance fails for a day, Fu Yao doesn't dare to let go and fight us. What if he gets fired by Nalan Chengji of Donghu?" , I’m not joking. Donghu was besieged by Beidi and couldn’t draw troops for a while. It wasn’t until we got close that Nalan Chengji won a disastrous victory, and finally drew out 30,000 Hu cavalry.”
King Xiaoyao's face was gloomy and worried, and said: "He, Fu Yao, is also a scourge. In order to attract Hu Qi's help, he promised Nalan Chengji to cede the six Yanbei prefectures. You are such a jerk."
The six prefectures of Yanbei are dangerous places, easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is an important barrier between the Central Plains and Donghu.
The loss of the northern barrier of the six prefectures of Yanbei directly exposed the nakedness of the Central Plains to the iron hooves of the northern nomads. There are the best horse farms in the Central Plains, the largest iron mines, and three large salt fields near the sea...
With this place, Donghu's strength has increased significantly. What's more frightening is that the land and population here are far superior to any area under the influence of Donghu. It won't be long before Donghu, who has a large population and food, will step on the land of the Central Plains On the north side of the great river, there will be no peaceful place.
The scourge of Fu Yao's move is better than the evil influence of the Demon Sect.
Hu Qi went south, and the Northern Dynasty did not respond, but from Jizhou from north to south, the link between the eastern and western parts of the Northern Dynasty was interrupted. Not only Jizhou was completely controlled by the Taiping Road, but also Yanzhou, which was isolated outside, and Qizhou, which was cut off in the east, There are repetitions.
Yanzhou was verbally ceded by Fu Yao, and the people were in panic all day long. However, the officials of the state government fled with their families and property out of fear, making Yanzhou a state of anarchy. As for Qizhou, although the situation is better, there is news that, The ruling king of Qizhou, Zunzhi, has a tendency to leave the court and become king independently.
If this is the case, within a few years, the world will fall apart, the heroes will fight in chaos, and the people will no longer have the wish of the Huangfu Dynasty to unify the world. At that time, ambitious people will emerge, and everyone will feel that there is a chance to seize the only chair in the world.
However, at this time, good news came from Wolong Island.
The Martial Arts League was finally established, and the city council of heroes made breaking the siege the top priority.
The old prince frowned, and asked, "Zhan Xiong sent a letter, saying when will he arrive?"
"A reinforcement of 10,000 troops will arrive along the Wei River and pass through the great river in ten days, while the masters of the martial arts alliance will arrive in three days. If someone travels both night and day... they should arrive in the same day..."
Today
Huangfu Yanzhao's eyebrows twitched, and he was about to ask carefully, when suddenly the two of them felt something at the same time, and turned their heads to look at the big river in the northwest direction.
On the vast and smoky river, from an extremely narrow corner, floated out a small boat, and went straight to the wharf where Kaifeng Mansion was located.
The whimpering horns and the rumbling drums sounded in unison, and the two large ships of the Taipingdao Navy rushed over with arrogance.
Those two big boats are only slightly inferior to the five-story boats that go out to sea, but they still have three floors, nine feet high, decorated with red lacquer, covered with iron armor, and equipped with horse sheds. , Shocking, and there is even a giant shooting pole. When photographed with one pole, an ordinary large ship will be photographed to pieces.
As for the small boat in the river, you don't need to use a pole, just squeeze it lightly, and it will be broken into pieces under the big boat.
The people on the boat, I'm afraid they won't become meat
Seeing that the small boat was approaching, two big boats crossed the river, without saying a word, two canopies of arrows rained down first.
That Ye Xiaozhou accelerated suddenly, like an arrow leaving the string, it leaped forward more than ten feet in an instant, avoiding the two waves of arrows without time, and was less than a hundred feet away from the two big ships.
The commander on board was obviously furious, roaring and cursing at the archers on board, coordinated again, and shot again...
Peng! Peng!
Another two clouds of arrows rained down, and the boat jumped forward again, avoiding the cover.
At this time, the boat accelerated with all its strength, and the distance of one hundred feet was instantly pulled to a distance of fifty feet...
Rumble!
A trebuchet was launched, threatening the safety of the boat.
But the small boat seemed to be alive, and kept dodging left and right, avoiding waves of arrow rain and stones.
Seeing that the small boat was coming all the way, it was about to slip through the gap between the two big boats...
Hoo hoo!
The commanders on the two large ships rushed forward at the same time, and joined forces to launch the most helpless attack on the enemy who was alone in danger.
call out-
The light is gone in a flash!
Those two commanders, who were at least at least mid-level innate, were cut into two parts from their legs to the center of their eyebrows.
At the same time, under the power of this sword, the two large boats behind them were cut open vertically from bow to stern. After a while, the water surface on the left and right sides of the boat was already covered with thumping figures.
The speed of the small boat remained the same, and it went straight forward. When the iron cable from Hengjiang came, it passed again with a sword, and the iron cable as thick as a human leg was easily cut off.
The people on the boat patted their clothes casually, took off the bamboo hats on their heads, and turned to look—
Nearby, countless figures were splashing white waves on the river surface. The two large boats had capsized, only half of their sterns resting on the surface of the river, but they disappeared without a trace; Half a step forward, for fear of being cut off by his sword.
Thousands of large and small warships just looked at each other from a distance, as if facing a god who could destroy the world.
Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, turned around again, and flew up to the Kaifeng city tower.
