Villain’s Strategy

Chapter 85: Absolute Counterattack 21

Views:

The Yan Army camped directly on the Kulong River and on the south bank, facing [Luocheng] from a distance. This distance was just beyond the long-range attack range of the Yan Army.

That night, the north wind blowing southwards became more and more powerful, and the smoke roared. The soldiers of the smoke army disguised themselves, and carried bags of white powder medicine, crawling forward against the ground, half a mile away from [Luocheng]. When he hit the ground, he opened the mouth of the bag, covered his mouth and nose and swayed it into the air.

The powder floated into [Luocheng] by the north wind, and entered the respiratory tract of the Dugu army along the air flow.

One of the generals who first noticed something was wrong, shouted at the soldiers: "The air is poisonous, everyone be careful." After shouting, he immediately pulled off a piece of the cloak and threw it into the ditch extending in all directions in [Luocheng]. Wet and covered his nose.

As soon as the generals were reminded by General Zhang, they immediately reminded each other loudly to the surrounding brothers, tore off the corners of their clothes and soaked them to cover their mouths and noses, and tied them behind their heads.

General Zhang looked at the soldiers who kept falling to the ground and twitching, burning with anger, turned around and ran towards the stone house where Duguyan was, where the lights were still on.

"The last general will see Yan Master." After General Zhang hurriedly saluted, without waiting for Dugu Yan to speak, he continued: "That Yan army is so abominable that they used the wind to poison our army."

The thin blue veins of Duguyan's hand resting on the table, jumped, and asked, "How about the casualties?"

"The end general took a general look. The poison is not fatal, it just reduces the combat effectiveness of our army."

"Please detoxify as soon as possible by the military doctor, and the remaining soldiers should avoid the bunkers. This is about to siege the city." The voice was long and sighed.

Duguyan got up, fumbled around to avoid the table, and the maid, who was adding charcoal to the side, wiped her hands quickly and stepped forward to help.

"Master, it's better for you to stay in the house now."

Hearing this, Dugu Yan didn't stop, "It doesn't matter, the amount of medicine prepared by Yan Jun will not be too much, and the wind is strong, it will dissipate in half an hour at most."

"Yes." The maid took the wet handkerchief handed over by the guard and handed it to Duguyan. In addition to her respectful voice, there was a hint of ridicule: "You can't fall down as soon as you go out."

Duguyan covered his mouth and nose, and with the help of his maid, he went outside, listening to the surrounding noise from the whistling wind.

"Bang." It was the sound of the iron pot and the wooden frame falling to the ground. The brazier rolled down a few times and stopped at the foot of Dugu Yan.

"Smoke Lord, it's a brazier." The maid kicked aside the obstacles blocking the road and explained to Duguyan.

Duguyan nodded and took another step forward. After the maid turned left and right, she stepped on the stone steps and headed towards the city wall.

"Master Yan, why did you come up? It's a mess outside now." Most of the soldiers guarding the city wall passed through the soldiers passing by, and their faces were very bad because of the tactics of the Yan Army. Covering his mouth and nose, his voice sounded muffled.

Dugu Yan directly ignored his worries, faced outside the city, and asked, "How is the Yan Army?"

Dadutong turned to look at the Yan army who were lined up in the distance, ready to attack at any time, and said: "Look at their formation, tonight is going to attack. The catapult is attacking from a distance, and the archers cover the infantry ladder climbing the city."

"Which army is the main attack? Who is the right wing?" Duguyan, still wearing a red ribbon, could not see any sight, but it did not hinder her command.

"From the point of view of the banner, the main attack on the front is the Qinglong Army, and the right wing is the White Tiger Army."

Hearing this, Duguyan turned his head to the side and said to the maid, "There is a letter on the table, and I sent it to City Lord Yun."

"Yes." The maid nodded in response, stretched out her hand and summoned a white-robed warrior who followed, and gave him an order.

Dugu Yan leaned towards the skinny five fingers, feeling the north wind blowing, and murmured: "The Yan army is about to attack the city." After putting down his hand, he said in the direction of Dadutong: "The Yan army will take flint to attack the city next. , let the soldiers find cover, block them in batches, and say hello."

"Old order, the traps outside the city are enough for these smokers to drink a pot." [Luocheng] occupies a unique position, built on the mountain, it is really a man who is a man and a man who can't open it. And if you want to climb the city, you must first walk through the layers of traps in front of the city, and then accept the stab and kill of their collision.

"Take care of the battle, master of tigers and wolves, don't underestimate." Duguyan heard the arrogance in his words, turned around and left with a pause, and warned more.

"Subordinates keep in mind." Hearing this, Dadutong immediately tensed up, and he was a little fluttering just now.

Not long after Duguyan left the city wall, the Yan army began to formally attack the city. The huge boulder was ignited by splashing clear oil, and shot into the sky with flames, blasting towards Luocheng.

In an instant, the rubble shot at a rapid rate, and the city walls and the city were thick with smoke, which made people unable to open their eyes, and choked people to cough again and again.

At this moment, Tu Suyun, who had been standing still in the northeast position outside [Luocheng], commanded the army to attack the right wing of the Yan Army-----White Tiger Army.

After a night of continuous battles, the first siege ended in failure. In addition to the disabled, the smoke army killed nearly 10,000 people.

At dawn, they each called Jin Jin to withdraw their troops, reorganized, and waited for another confrontation.

Tu Suyun, who did not do his best, returned to the camp, holding the secret report sent by the scouts, horses and whips. Intended to unite with other armies to divide him and encircle and suppress him.

Holding this secret report, Tu Su Yunxing's eyes were cold and his fingertips were white.

He was really watching a play, and he accidentally threw himself on the stage!

Tu Suyun laughed a few times, walked to the desk, ground it finely, spread out the rice paper, dipped a pen in ink, and wrote a secret letter in a hurry, summoning a dead man who was good at hiding, It was sent to Qinglong Barracks ----- Qingzhe's hands.

After resting for a day, the Tobacco Army beat the drums of war again, sounded the low and passionate horn, and launched the signal to attack. The flint in the sky was more dense and crazy than the first night. The huge boulders dragged the burning flames from the sky, like meteorites falling from the sky, and the spectacle was spectacular.

[Luocheng] Thick smoke billowed. If it wasn't for the fortifications made of stone, it would have been ignited by flames long ago, and the Dugu army would have been grilled as birds and beasts.

But even so, the Dugu army still complained and cursed secretly.

In the choking thick smoke, in a remote and inconspicuous place, the ground trembled slightly, revealing a hidden hole. A group of soldiers emerged from it, and their armor style was the same as that of the Dugu army.

This group of soldiers quickly merged into the Dugu army, avoiding the high-altitude flints and fighting soldiers, and no one noticed that they had sneaked into the enemy army swaggeringly beside them.

This enemy army shuttled through the city, quickly locked on the target, and kept approaching. When someone finds something wrong, it's too late.

Dugulong, who was left in the command room by Duguyan, took his subordinates out to watch the battle. When he was dodging the flint bombardment, he was thrown down by a soldier who suddenly appeared and strangled his throat, and then tied a sturdy, sharp knife. Key points in several places.

Looking at this momentum different from his own army, Dugulong knew that he was attacked by the enemy army. If these people don't kill themselves, they will definitely use them as hostages to blackmail the imperial sister.

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes tightly, ashamed.

Seeing this scene, General Zhang immediately led his army to surround the disguised 100-person team, and sent someone to inform Duguyan quickly.

The enemy who succeeded, according to the order, released a cloud-piercing arrow to the sky to illuminate the night sky. Tu Suyun and Qingzhe laughed in unison at different positions.

Immediately, Qing Zhe ordered to stop the attack, and stepped forward, looking at the [Luocheng] that was about to break through. [Luocheng], which has always existed like a ghost, is now finally going to go straight to Longcheng.

For a while, the general who was hunting and hunting was full of pride, and he was quite high-spirited.

With the help of the maid, Duguyan walked towards the hundreds of enemy troops with a sullen face, followed by a group of white-robed warriors holding long swords.

"Smoke Lord, please stop." The leading enemy's voice was indifferent and without a trace of emotion, his eyes were like a wolf-like staring straight at the approaching Duguyan, and his words stopped her pace.

Duguyan retracted her raised foot, her voice was cold and calm, and she said, "Tu Suyun finally shot."

This group of 100 people is exactly Tu Suyun who has collected the world's geniuses and trained dead men. When he saw Feng Shuyan, he still thought of taking her under his command and using it for him.

The dead man didn't care about the mess between the two of them, they just acted according to orders, took out a letter with a light fragrance from their arms: "Smoke Lord, please." After speaking, they threw it directly towards Duguyan, like a Like a flying blade.

Duguyan quickly made his move, using his thumb and index finger to pinch, and the two fingers made a slight mistake, and the letter slipped into the palm of his hand and handed it to the maid next to him.

The maid took it apart and took a closer look, then her face changed drastically and whispered to Duguyan.

After listening, Duguyan let out a cold snort from his nose, "How dare you ask for it!"

"There is no way, this is also forced." After Tu Suyun got the signal, he walked out of the secret passage that he had quietly opened a few years ago. After a few ups and downs, he dodged in front of Dugulong. Duguyan said.

"That's a grievance." Duguyan said sarcastically in an unwavering tone.

Tu Suyun walked towards her, stood in front of her, and shook his head: "You are too persistent. If you had married me earlier, the current scene would not have appeared." With a sigh, "Why don't you? Understand, my child, doesn't it also have the blood of your Dugu family? Why can't you obey me? "

"Bah, you are so sincere and sincere, even though you hide your misfortune." Dugulong twisted his bound body and said towards Tu Suyun. "You will never be worthy of my queen."

"It's too noisy." Tu Suyun turned his head and said, and there was a dead man who stunned Dugulong with a look of disgust. Then he turned to Dugu Yan and said, "I will take them away. I hope that in the morning tomorrow, this place will be an empty city. Of course, please leave the food and grass properly."

The maid looked at Tu Suyun, who was swaggering away from [Luocheng]. She looked angry and sighed. She looked back at Duguyan and asked softly, "Smoke Lord, what do you mean?"

Duguyan gradually loosened his clenched hand, revealing a crescent moon on his palm, and said calmly, "Get out of Los Angeles."

Hearing the four clear words, the surrounding soldiers opened their mouths, trying to stop them, but they swallowed the words.

That is their dragon master and the only younger brother of the smoke master, how can they persuade them! Holding back a sullen breath, he lowered his head in frustration.

That night, the morale of the Dugu army plummeted, and they left the [Luocheng] in a dreary state.

Looking back, it just feels like a lifetime of shame.

The debris swept up in the wind, like ear scrapers, slapped them mercilessly on their faces. The row of flags that can't wait to be planted on the city wall is the most favorable ridicule for them.

Tu Suyun stood on the high city wall with his hands behind his back, looking at the dejected army in the morning light, and smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled.

It's long overdue to break her flying wings, just stay by his side obediently. As a woman, strength is attractive, but she should return to being gentle and gentle most of the time.

Qingzhe looked at the city gate that opened and closed again in Luocheng, raised his head and let out a long sigh.

He didn't understand why, at such a good opportunity, Feng Shuyan suddenly slammed into the bar and strongly ordered the army to stand by, instead of taking the opportunity to rush into the city.

Tu Suyun, who occupies [Luocheng], is not worried about being attacked from front and back. With Dugulong in his hand, the South Gate can be safe and sound.

And he is not afraid of the smoke army who is ready to attack the city at any time outside the north gate.

But the changes came too fast. For some reason, Dugulong, who was fine in the daytime, was poisoned and died in prison at night.

Tu Suyun, who arrived after hearing the news, felt his pulse, which was no longer beating, and broke out in a cold sweat. In an instant, his dark green brocade clothes were soaked through.

At the same time, some of the men came running from the door of the prison, and because they were in a hurry, they took the wrong step and rolled down the stairs.

"What's the matter?" The bad feeling became more and more obvious.

After his subordinates got up and straightened their helmets, they hurriedly said, "The Yan Army and the Dugu Army are preparing to attack the city."

Sure enough, the bad premonition was confirmed.

It was he who was careless!

The Yan Army still shot long-range flints first, more intensive than the second time, almost smashing people without a place to hide. Thick smoke billowed from the city, and the smell of stone paint was everywhere, which was extremely unpleasant.

In the case of their oversight, there was a strange liquid flowing in the wide-reaching ditches in [Luocheng], but it was a pity that it was hidden under the thick smoke, and no one noticed it.

When the fireworks of the flint licked the surface of the ditch, the bright yellow flames jumped up in an instant, like a fire dragon, spreading out along the ditch, unstoppable.

The flaming fire dragon was hit by the flint that fell from the sky, and the splashing sparks firmly adhered to the bodies of the soldiers, as if they were entangled by a wolf, unable to be thrown away. After taking off their armor in a hurry, they were carried by the sky again The arrows of flames hit him, and he felt the taste of being grilled and breathed out.

Dugulong was calm in the face of danger, and the police quickly cut off the ditch that entered the water in the south, preventing more stone paint from flowing into the city. Looking at the controllable situation, Tu Suyun breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this breath was not completely relieved. The kerosene iron cans were launched from outside the south gate, and they fell one by one on the ground. The splashing fireworks were even more frightening than flint.

The undiscussed front and back attack is so tacit and so terrifying.

Duguyan abandoned a city and lost, but it was a strategy to invite you to enter the urn. When [Luocheng] became a sea of fire, she ordered to stop the attack.

She was waiting, waiting for Tu Suyun to retreat and lead the cavalry to rush out of the south gate, taking her younger brother Dugulong in exchange for a chance to leave.

It's dawn, it's a new day. On the plain in front of the South Gate, she stood on the eye-catching chariot. According to the voice in her ear, she imagined in her mind that the enemy escaped from the South Gate, opened the way with cavalry and swung swords into the formation, but was mercilessly attacked by the shield and spear formation. assassinate.

But without her brother in the city, her heart sank little by little, and her face became colder and colder.

A few days passed, and the sea of fire finally went out. With the help of the maid, Dugu Yan walked into [Luocheng] alone, and met the smoke army who had entered the city earlier.

When Yan Jun saw Duguyan, he only dared to be on guard from a distance, and did not dare to rush forward to arrest them. Not to mention that he couldn't beat them, but he was lucky enough to beat them. When His Majesty saw them, he cut off their heads without red eyes. When the Cuju kick ah.

They vaguely felt that His Majesty and the smoker had an affair, but there was no direct evidence, so they could only think secretly in their hearts.

Duguyan walked straight towards the dungeon, descended the long stone steps, and shouted, "Long'er."

No one responded, eyebrows frowned slightly.

The maid supported Duguyan's hand and noticed her trembling.

"Brother." Duguyan's voice was trembling.

The maid on the side glanced at the cells, and there was no one who could still move in it, and...

"Dugulong." Duguyan almost tripped over a corpse under his feet, and his voice was hoarse, much higher than the previous two.

The maid supported her in time, and she just stared absently at the cell in front of the right, how striking the familiar white-backed gold-trimmed shirt was in the entire dungeon. After helping the smoker to approach, he squatted down and reached out, it was cold and breathless.

Feeling the action of the maid, Duguyan stood there trembling and asked softly, "Is it... him?"

The maid was silent, looking up at her in the dim light, nodded, knowing that she couldn't see, she replied in a low voice, "Yes."

When I heard this word I heard every day, Duguyan knew that it would be more and more sad and painful.

Did you do something wrong

The maid, who knew her very well, saw her in a daze, and hurriedly comforted: "There is a well-matched City Lord Yun, and you couldn't save the Dragon Lord if you took action at that time. Furthermore, even if City Lord Yun did not appear at that time, those fearless dead men , and will rush to kill the dragon master before you save the dragon master."

Duguyan shook his head, his expression was painful, and the lips were bitten with blood. "No, if I could have been more decisive at that time, if I could have been by his side at that time, everything would have been different, it would have been different."

"There is no second possibility for what happened." Yan Xuhuan was led into the cell by the unhappy Yu Fei and stood beside Duguyan.

The tip of her nose sniffed the fresh blood, Yan Xuhuan searched for the smell, raised her hand and slowly covered it, and said softly: "Broken." Lightly tapped, so that Duguyan loosened his disobedient teeth.

"The wind breaks the smoke." Feeling her fingertips, it was still the cool warmth, Duguyan cried, and there was a hint of fragility in her voice.

"Yeah." Yan Xuhuan responded, took a step forward, put the trembling man in her arms, patted her back, and said, "I brought Yu Fei."

The three people present did not understand what she meant when she said these words, and their faces were full of doubts.

Then her next words brought a different impact to them.

Just listen to the wind broken flue: "One day in the near future, you will remember that Yu Fei is the swaddle baby you once sent to the Yu clan to avoid disaster, and also the first child of Dugulong."

As soon as these words came out, Yu Fei's face was stunned. According to Feng Shuyan, is she and Duguyan a family? Why didn't the patriarch's grandfather say that he thought he was a monster born from some fine bird since he was a child.

The maid and Duguyan were both startled and then delighted.

"real?"

"Yeah." Yan Xuhuan nodded and called to Yu Fei: "Come here."

Yu Fei, who was squatting beside Dugulong's body, got up and walked over, looking up and asking the two of her, "Who is this person?"

Silence is the most straightforward truth.

Duguyan's voice was low and hoarse, "An old man."

Yu Fei rolled her eyes, a little disbelieving, but she didn't understand for a while, so she suppressed the suspicion.

In the battle of [Luocheng], the Yan Army and the Dugu Army each suffered tens of thousands of casualties, but compared to Tu Suyun's army of hundreds of thousands who were burned alive and suffocated, it was negligible.

After that, the Yan Army stayed and garrisoned. After a few days of rest, they started again and set off in three directions in three directions. After various battles, it took more than three months, and finally regrouped and joined forces in front of [Dragon City]. The chaotic stone forest.

This time is mid-March, when the spring flowers are blooming, the moat in front of the chaotic stone forest, the green water and the waves floating pink, the embankment is lightly patted, there is a layer of misty mist, the waterfowl are enthusiastic, and occasionally there are egrets that eat fish and shrimp. On the surface of the water, Duoshui Zhaoying showed a graceful figure, and occasionally leaned his head and chirped a few times.

Further ahead, there is a large peach forest in full bloom, with pink and white petals, blossoming and clustering, full of branches, blooming wantonly, dyeing the world with powder. Let the majestic and solemn Dragon City in the distance be magically coated with a layer of romantic spring, and the cold and sharp edges and corners are temporarily swept away by the sultry breath.

This is the [Dragon City] that has attracted countless heroes to compete, and it is really extraordinary!

If you look at it from a distance, you will be amazed again and again. The city in the world should be [Dragon City] as the most important!
