"Tick tock, tick tock..."
The sound was obviously so subtle, but it seemed to be amplified dozens of times in the ears of Ba Mintu and the soldiers.
Time has become so slow at this moment...
Ba Mintu felt cold all over, and countless images flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, and he stammered, "You...you..."
He couldn't speak any more, he fell down suddenly, and his originally sharp and shrewd eyes lost all their vitality and vitality in an instant, and turned into a dead silence.
There was a silence all around, and everyone in the room seemed to have lost their voices.
"You...you..." The soldiers pointed at Fu Yunhe's handsome and careless face in disbelief, his fingers trembling slightly.
"What about me?" Fu Yunhe deliberately said in Dayu's words.
The soldier's pupils shrank, and he understood instantly: "You... you are not from Nanliang!"
Fu Yunhe was still smiling, and nodded as a matter of course: "Of course I am not."
From the perspective of the personal soldier, he didn't notice that there was an extra person at the door at some point, but Fu Yunhe knew it at a glance, so he simply ignored the personal soldier and leaned over Ba Mintu to search for it.
"Come here! There is Dayu..." The soldier shouted hoarsely, but before he could finish speaking, his neck was twisted from behind, and he could no longer speak.
"Lieutenant Fu..." The person who came was Qianwei Liu Jingyun of the God Arm Battalion. He looked out of the house vigilantly, fearing that he would be discovered.
Fu Yunhe quickly took out a bronze medal from Ba Mintu's belt. The bronze medal was engraved with the words "General's Order" in strange Nanliang characters, and exquisite cloud patterns were carved around it.
The two exchanged a look, first worked together to move the two corpses into the inner room, then closed the door and left quietly.
They had to complete the mission before the Nanliang people discovered Ba Mintu's body.
Fu Yunhe's eyes were shining brightly, he and Liu Jingyun each rode a horse and left the defense mansion.
The city of Yongjia has already exploded.
On the street, there were groups of Nanliang soldiers rushing to the city wall to support them. Their footsteps were rumbling, and the entire Yongjia City woke up early!
Fu Yunhe and the two rode their horses and galloped, and they came to the city wall without stopping.
Dozens of elite soldiers from the Divine Arm Battalion disguised as Nanliang soldiers had been waiting nearby, and when they saw the two approaching, they rushed up to greet them.
Fu Yunhe nodded slightly to them, indicating that it was done. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The first step was successful!
Now it's time for the second step.
This time, the ones who will be sent to carry out this task are one out of a hundred in the God Arm Battalion. They are not only veterans on the battlefield, they have also learned some Nanliang language through temporary special training. They quickly exchanged a look, and they were trained and automatically divided into two groups. A small group of people went to the southwest, while the other group followed Fu Yunhe to the vicinity of the city gate.
Boom... boom...
From time to time, the rumble of flying stones could be heard on the city wall, and the city wall shook and trembled accordingly, dust and gravel crashed down, this crumbling feeling was psychologically invisible and gave people a kind of urgent pressure.
The dozens of Nanliang guards guarding the city gate tensed up and stood in a line behind the city gate, in case the Southern Border Army would hit the city gate with a battering ram at any time.
Hearing the sound of horseshoes coming towards this side, those Nanliang guards immediately became vigilant, and a man who looked like a small captain strode forward, trying to stop Fu Yunhe and his party, and asked loudly, "Who is here?"
Liu Jingyun is the most proficient in Nanliang language in the Shenarm camp. He told the Nanliang guards arrogantly: "We are ordered by the general to rush to Yanding City to report to the commander. It is urgent, hurry, open the city quickly. Door!"
Fu Yunhe waved the token in his hand at the Nanliang guards at the right time.
Although it is said to let these people out of the city, it only needs to open a gap in the city gate, and then close the city gate quickly after they leave the city. But at this moment, the Southern Border Army was hundreds of feet away, so even if the time to open and close the city gate was short, it would be too dangerous.
But this token is indeed a general order!
Now that the military situation is urgent, it is only natural for the general to ask for help...
Seeing the team leader's hesitation, Liu Jingyun pretended to be impatient and said again: "This is an emergency military order, so hurry up and open the city gate! If the military situation is delayed, can you bear it?!"
The squad leader gritted his teeth, and made a decision in his heart: since the general has an order, he must have his reasons, and he cannot bear the crime of disobeying the military order!
"Hurry up and open the city gate!" The team leader turned around and ordered several Nanliang guards.
Both Fu Yunhe and Liu Jingyun's faces were calm and impatient.
"Squeak—"
With the cooperation of the guards, the heavy city gate slowly opened a gap, just enough for a horse to pass through.
Fu Yunhe clamped the horse's belly and deliberately let the horse move forward slowly, counting silently in his heart: ninety-six, ninety-seven...
When he counted to one hundred, there was a terrified shout from behind: "Look, it's gone!"
Everyone subconsciously followed the sound, and from a distance, they could see raging fires burning in several directions in the city, one after another fire dragons charged into the sky, and thick smoke billowed up...
This does not seem like a coincidence! The captain frowned, his face sinking like water.
The screams and doubts of the Nanliang soldiers all around came and went:
"The water is gone! The water is gone!"
"But how could it just go out of the water?!"
"Could it be that someone set the fire?"
"..."
There was a lot of noise everywhere, as if a pot of boiling hot water had finally been boiled.
Seeing the attention of several Nanliang guards being diverted, Fu Yunhe flicked his fingers as a signal, and the next moment he made a decisive move, and the dagger that had been hidden in his hand swiped at the captain's neck with lightning speed. Then, the flexible body bent into an inconceivable arc, and once he got the knife, he straightened up again.
At the same time, Liu Jingyun and others who followed Fu Yunhe also made moves one after another. These people have fought on the battlefield for many years, and they don't know how many lives of the enemy they have in their hands. Cut the throat or kill with a knife or break the neck...
But in the blink of an eye, corpses in different shapes were already lying behind the city gate.
Fu Yunhe said loudly: "Quick!"
Immediately, everyone got off their horses and went forward to push the heavy city gate, "creak—" the abnormal noise made when the gate was opened could not be ignored even in the flames of war.
The movement here was quickly seen by a group of Nanliang soldiers who came to reinforce them not far away, and the soldiers shouted in panic:
"Spies! There are spies!"
"Dayu's spies are about to open the city gate!"
"...stop them!"
Those Nanliang soldiers were terrified. Once the city gates were opened, how would they fight the tens of thousands of Nanjiang troops with the few thousand troops left behind? !
They all rushed up and tried to stop them, but the people in the God Arm Battalion tacitly divided into two, and half of them went to meet the enemy, which was bound to buy time.
Fu Yunyan and the others didn't turn their heads back, they only had one thought, they must open the city gate!
Between swords and swords, a dull "creak—" was heard.
The city gate is open!
The minds of the leaderless Nanliang soldiers went blank, and they could hardly think. They just felt that the blood on their bodies was about to freeze, and they didn't know whether they should fight the enemy with all their might or run for their lives.
Everyone in the Divine Arm Battalion shouted at the same time: "Welcome to the son!"
"Tap Tat Tat..."
On the other side of the city wall, nearly 10,000 soldiers came towards the city gate. The sound of soldiers' footsteps mixed with the sound of horseshoes, interlaced and overlapped, shaking the ground like thunderstorms, getting closer and closer, as if announcing a battle. A storm is coming!
"Kill!"
The sound of shouting and killing shook the sky, and the black and dense Southern Border Army turned into a turbulent tide and rushed into the city gate, especially the thousands of cavalry in front were like swords that had just been unsheathed, with hooves rolling and dust flying , the earth below trembled under iron hooves.
Xiao Yi, who was dressed in a silver-white battle armor, rode dark clouds and stepped on the snow, rushed to the forefront, and took the lead.
When the horse galloped wildly, his black hair was flying, and the silver-white cloak was fluttering in the wind, fluttering behind him, and his heroic posture made him seem to come from the sky.
"Brother!" Fu Yunhe rode his horse to Xiao Yi's side, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing a hint of complacency and seeking reward.
"Little Crane, you did a good job!"
Xiao Yi praised without hesitation. At the same time, the long sword in his hand swung up and down neatly, dancing out gorgeous sword flowers. Wherever the long sword went, it set off a bloodbath.
This siege battle began to change from a long-distance attack to a close combat after Xiao Yi led his troops into the city.
kill! kill! kill!
Swords meet, flesh and blood fly.
The silver long sword was soon soaked in blood, turning red, like a blood sword, with the smell of bloody killing.
brush-
Another sword was pulled out from the chest of a Nanliang soldier. The sound of the cold sword rubbing against flesh and blood was quickly suppressed by the sound of blood gushing out. On Xiao Yi's body, his silver-white battle robe was stained red, and even his handsome and picturesque face was splashed with blood.
Coupled with his sharp blood sword, Xiao Yi at this moment seems to be another person, no, or the God of Killing, with a terrifying killing spirit permeating his body, which makes the beholder tremble with fear. .
Xiao Yi held up the bloody sword and shouted: "Those who don't surrender will be killed without mercy."
The six characters were resounding and powerful. It was obviously just one person's voice, but it carried a strange penetrating power, cold and sharp, and made the audience silent.
The Southern Border Army behind him also shouted in unison: "Those who do not surrender, will be killed without mercy! Those who do not surrender, will be killed without mercy!"
The six words were shouted louder and more neatly, as if even the air trembled, making the ears of those who heard it buzz.
Seeing the Nanjiang Army attacking like a tsunami, the Nanliang soldiers in Yongjia City were almost powerless to fight back, and their morale was low.
They are only a few thousand, but the Southern Border Army has tens of thousands. With outnumbered enemies, they have no chance of winning at all.
Yongjia City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the city gate is not open, they can hold on for a while until General Ikaluo sends troops to support them. But now that the city gate is open, they have no chance of winning.
Those Nanliang soldiers became more and more desperate as they thought about it, but no one dared to move for a moment... Suddenly, with a "bang", a soldier dropped the sword in his hand.
The other Nanliang soldiers around were staring wide open, their fingers loosened slightly... At this moment, the sound of a chain vibrating resounded in the air, and a gleaming silver chain knife swirled out, sealing it with one knife. Throat, blood shot out from the soldier's throat, and splashed on the face of his comrade beside him.
The surrounding area was quiet for a while, only listening to the crisp sound of the chain being pulled back, the chain knife returned to the master's hand - a bearded man in black armor. Behind the big man is a group of hundreds of elite soldiers, running towards this side rapidly.
"Deputy...deputy general!" A Nanliang soldier stared at the bearded man and blurted out.
Deputy General Nanliang said in a cold voice with no expression on his face: "Anyone who deserts or surrenders will be killed without mercy!"
Those Nanliang soldiers turned pale, and then tightly grasped the handle of the knife in their hands, their fingers trembling slightly. Their vigor had already slumped at the moment when the Southern Border Army broke through the city, and their current dying struggle was only due to the authority of the lieutenant general.
Xiao Yi, who was tens of meters away, smiled coldly, put the long sword back into the scabbard neatly, then raised his hand and took out the big bow behind his back, took out a feathered arrow from his quiver, put it on the bow, And then struggle to draw the bow to full, aiming—
Shoot decisively!
Whoosh!
This arrow was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch it with the naked eye. With a chilling coldness, it seemed that it could tear the space apart in an instant, and shot directly at the heart of the deputy general of Nanliang.
"Lieutenant, be careful!" The face of the soldiers next to Lieutenant Nanliang changed, and he strode forward to block the lieutenant.
Almost in the next instant, the arrow tip pierced his skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs... The overwhelming momentum caused him to take a big step back uncontrollably, and hit the lieutenant behind him heavily. , the tip of the arrow pierced from the back of his body, and then pierced into the heart of the lieutenant general...
Kill two birds with one stone!
For a moment, there was silence all around, and the soldiers from Nanliang were almost dumbfounded. In contrast, the morale of the soldiers from Nanjiang was high, and they felt that their eldest son was really brave and unstoppable.
Xiao Yi held a bow in one hand and drew out a long sword in the other, and said almost word by word: "No, surrender, kill, no, pardon!"
His voice is like the ice of severe winter, ruthless, every word is like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of those Nanliang soldiers, so that they have no doubt that he will do what he says. Strength dissipated...
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The sound of long knives falling to the ground sounded one after another, and the Nanliang soldiers who put down their weapons knelt down like bereaved dogs.
But more Nanliang soldiers chose to continue killing with knives, or fled in all directions.
Those who do not surrender will be killed without mercy.
The prince of Zhennan said it nicely, but who can guarantee that after they surrender, they will not be humiliated to death? !
Seeing this, a piercing cold light flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes, and he announced slowly again with no expression on his face: "Those who do not surrender will be killed without mercy."
Obviously he said the same six words three times, but his tone of voice was subtly different, the first time was sharp, the second time was cold, and this time there was a domineering arrogance.
At the same time as the words fell, Xiao Yi clamped the horse's belly, and the dark cloud and snow under his crotch galloped out like a black lightning. The long sword swung down mercilessly again, and cut off the head of a Nanliang soldier with one sword. Blood spewed out like an erupting volcano. This scene shocked the enemy, but boosted the morale of the Southern Border Army.
The Southern Border Army let out deafening shouts, all of them were full of enthusiasm, and rushed forward with their knives in hand, like a rolling mudslide, everything they passed was swallowed up by this piece of black armor...
Seeing that more and more comrades were killed by the swords of the Southern Border Army, those Nanliang soldiers became more and more restless. What made them even more desperate was that General Bamintu never showed up.
The Southern Border Army has broken through the city. General Bamintu, as the highest general in the city at this moment, shouldn't he come out and lead them to fight against the enemy bravely
Where did he go
The answer naturally emerged in the minds of these Nanliang soldiers.
General Ba Mintu must have escaped with his cronies when the city was broken! Only these insignificant soldiers are left waiting to die!
At the same time as he figured this out, Nanliang Bing's mental defense completely collapsed!
Boom, boom, boom... More and more Southern Liang soldiers chose to abandon their weapons and surrender, bowing their knees humbly.
That night, thick blood and blood swept across the entire Yongjia City...
It wasn't until dawn that the hustle and bustle around gradually calmed down, as if the killing last night was just a nightmare.
Fu Yunhe personally planted Xiao Yi's banner on the city wall, the black banner fluttered in the wind, and the silver "Xiao" gleamed in the morning light.
After a long March, the once-occupied Yongjia City finally returned to southern Xinjiang.
The streets of Yongjia City are filled with a strong smell of blood, and there are bloody corpses, stumps, broken arms, and broken weapons and shields of Nanliang people everywhere.
In this sea of corpses, from time to time, those Nanliang soldiers who surrendered could be seen humbly prostrate on the ground.
Tread Tread...
Not far away, there was a sound of rumbling footsteps, and a group of southern border troops followed behind Xiao Yi like stars and the moon, and followed him to the defense mansion with strides.
The rising sun slowly rose in the eastern sky, casting a soft light on the city walls, houses, and streets, and also cast a layer of halo on Xiao Yi below, his blood-stained face was glowing. A faint golden glow...
The sun rose higher and higher, and the sun became hotter and hotter.
Ikaluo, who was a hundred miles away, looked at the sky anxiously. After a night of rushing, neither Ikaluo nor the 10,000 troops he led could not hide their exhaustion.
Not only was he tired, but Ikaluo also had a feeling of restlessness, as if something had happened.
Could it be Yanding City, or the Nine Kings...
Ikaluo was about to order the army to speed up, when suddenly a scout came up from the rear of the team in a hurry, got off his horse and reported: "Commander, there is someone chasing from behind! Looking at the armor, it seems to be me General!"
Someone from behind? ! Ikaluo frowned, and his heart sank. Could it be that something happened to Yongjia City? !
His premonition was quickly confirmed—
The sound of horseshoes in the rear became more and more clear... Soon, a young general came to Ikaluo under the guidance of a centurion. He almost rolled off his horse and said in a panic: "Commander, Zhennan King The son led an army of 10,000 to raid Yongjia City! General Ba Mintu ordered the last general to come forward to send a message to the commander-in-chief, and hope that the commander-in-chief must return to Yongjia City for support!" He lowered his head deeply, hiding the sharpness in his eyes.
Ikaluo's pupils shrank sharply, his face sank like water.
He grabbed the rein tightly, the veins on the back of his hand popped.
I see! I see!
He was actually deceived by the prince of Zhennan!
Damn Xiao Yi, what a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain!
The son of Zhennan Wang is planning to use the Nine Kings to transfer himself and the army away from Yongjia City, and then wait for the opportunity to lead troops to attack the city. Once he succeeds, then Yanding City will be attacked from both sides, and I'm afraid it's hard to protect!
Should I go to Yanding City now, or go to Yongjia City to fight the Prince of Zhennan
Ikaluo narrowed his eyes slightly, but in the blink of an eye, he had already had a lot of thoughts, weighing the pros and cons.
Yongjia City currently has only a few thousand soldiers left behind, but Yongjia City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and has sufficient food and grass. As long as Ba Mintu is not stupid, it will not be a problem to defend for three to five days.
If he led the army back to Yongjia City now, he would definitely be able to form a front and back attack on the army of Zhennan Prince Xiao Yi's army.
Once Xiao Yi is captured, the Southern Frontier Army will be in a dilemma without a leader. Not only will the crisis of Yongjia City be solved, but also the crisis of Yanding City will not be feared.
one stone two bird!
The opportunity is fleeting, since the prince of Zhennan sent this great opportunity to him, he must not miss it!
A stern light flashed in Ikaluo's eyes, and with a resolution in his heart, he said loudly: "All officers and men obey orders!"
The 10,000 Nanliang army responded in unison, and the shouts were overwhelming and deafening.
Ikaluo ordered decisively: "Go back to Yongjia City!"
All the soldiers responded again, and the huge marching team turned around in a well-trained manner, then returned back the same way with rumbling footsteps, and hurried all the way to Yongjia City...
