My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 263 Sacrifice of the Knife (Added update for Nuanyang Golden Alliance Leader)

"The heavenly soldiers have arrived!"

"The Xirong barbarians have retreated!"

"Woooo... King Xia's heavenly soldiers finally arrived..."

At the moment when countless cavalrymen poured through the streets, the people in the pass stood on the street and looked out of the attic windows, and then an unprecedented wave of fighting broke out at the West City Gate in the distance.

On the city wall, Lei Tong waved his ring-headed sword, beheaded the rushing Xirong soldiers, and shouted: "Reinforcements have arrived, all the men follow me and kill them!"

The suppressed Yantang Pass soldiers finally broke out at this moment, their morale suddenly boosted, and they wildly waved their swords and spears, gradually pushing back the Xirong people who had gained a foothold.

"Kill!" Wu Huizhi led the slave soldiers and roared from the left side of the city wall.

The red-haired barbarian woman's cheeks were stained with blood. She waved her arms and pushed forward. She shouted in unfluent Yan dialect: "Kill!"

The other dozen or so red-haired barbarians also followed and pushed forward bravely, squeezing the two dozen or so Western soldiers on the opposite side into the wall stacks, and then pushed down the city wall.

The moment the screaming soldiers fell to the top of the city, the Xirong soldiers stretched out under the city wall were also pushed down by the sudden Northland cavalry, and were plowed out into a long carpet of blood. Many Xirong soldiers were killed and stunned, and The wandering Xirong cavalry wanted to rush over, but Zhao Yun led a thousand cavalry and killed them.

Fighting is all about working hard.

At this time, the critical moment of the siege was interrupted, and the morale of the defenders at the head of the city was restored. They had lost the chance to continue to seize the city wall. Xie Yu naturally understood this truth. He tore up the slanderous piece of paper in Luo Jingbin's hand, remounted, and Ask people to blow the trumpet, withdraw the troops, and retreat temporarily.

It was too late for the Xirong people who were abandoned above and below the city to escape. Most of them chose to surrender. Those who did not want to surrender turned around and ran away, and were later stabbed to death by the cavalry who caught up.

"Surrender... leave nothing behind!" Lu Bu glanced at the barbarians kneeling over there begging for surrender, with a look of contempt in his eyes.

"Marquis Wen, surrender them first."

Zhao Yun urged his horse to come over, his eyes also full of coldness, "Wait until the weapons are handed over and tied up before killing, then the opponent will not resist stubbornly."

"General Zhao, you have lived a long time and have much more experience than a certain family in this area, haha."

Lü Bu laughed heartily and asked his commander to deliver the order to take in the prisoners. He and Zhao Yun rode back to the city gate. At this time, Zheng He, Wu Huizhi, and Lei Tong also came to see the prisoners one by one.

"Marquis Wen! (General Zhao)"

Zheng He and Lei Tong, one from the Ming Dynasty and the other from the Three Kingdoms period, naturally knew the flying generals Lu Bu and Zhao Yun. Wu Huizhi had never met Lu Bu. After all, in the previous battle in Changchuan County, Lu Bu burned the Yan army. Grain and grass went straight to Yanjing.

As for Zhao Yun, he had never seen him before. He only appeared during the battle at Yu Shan Yuan.

"These two...are both under the command of King Xia?"

Wu Huizhi followed Zheng He and Lei Tong in greeting him, and then asked Lei Tong in a low voice, "Why have I never seen him before?"

"There are many things that Marquis Yun has never seen before."

"what?"

Wu Huizhi watched Lei Tong step forward to talk to the two cavalry generals and Zheng He. He also wanted to go up, but he always felt out of place, so he simply listened quietly by the side.

"Are the two generals coming here first?" Zheng He sheathed his sword, asked someone to get his water bag, and handed it to the two generals.

"The main force is mostly infantry. It is time to enter the hinterland of Rongzhou at this time." Zhao Yun took the water bag and took a sip. "The king asked Yun and Marquis Wen to lead the cavalry first."

"How many soldiers and horses does the king have?" This is what Lei Tong asked. He held Yantang Pass for half a month. The soldiers in the pass suffered heavy casualties and were already exhausted. Naturally, he wanted to transfer the defense of Yantang Pass to reinforcements. In the hands of his soldiers and horses, he gave his subordinates a chance to rest and recuperate.

"Not many!" Zhao Yun shook his head, "The armies of Bingzhou, Yizhou, and Xiliang have recovered the three states that were not surrendered to the Central Plains. Luyang is the capital of the Central Plains, and General Xiahou's Qingzhou Army is stationed. At the moment, the king only has the Youyan Army and the The raw slave army and the newly built [-] troops and horses total more than [-] people. Adding my and Marquis Wen's cavalry, the number is [-]."

That is?

Wu Huizhi felt like vomiting blood, but he still felt that this was enough?
"Marquis Yun, it is not difficult for more than 3 soldiers to defeat the Xirong people outside the pass. What is difficult is to eat them and the entire grassland!" Zheng He was an evergreen tree next to Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, so he naturally had a way of speaking. , from what Zhao Yun said, we guessed that King Xia wanted to eliminate this trouble in the north forever.

His eyes were moistened unconsciously, and he could not help but think of Zhu Di's northern expedition to the grasslands and break through the desert... Unfortunately, he did not have the chance to make the trip at that time.

"When will our Han generals face a bunch of timid barbarians?!" Lu Bu glanced at Wu Huizhi and even the several red-haired figures behind him, then he snorted coldly, turned around and left with Zhao Yun, Zheng He, and Lei Tong , said as he walked: "When Huo Qiao rides over, a certain family and Qiao Qiao will break through the barbarian king's tent."

"Marquis Wen seems to be quite skillful in attacking the rear?"

"Haha, stealing is stealing. If a certain family doesn't feel ashamed, even the whole family can't protect it. It deserves to be stolen!"

"Haha, this is not stealing, it's clearly a detour."

The four of them laughed and left, leaving only Wu Hui standing there alone, his mind still a little messy. He didn't understand for a while, we were on defense, why did we talk about attacking the opponent's king's account?
Among the group of red-haired barbarians behind him, Elsa was also dumbfounded. Her brother Barry was found under the body. He was covered in bandages and sitting on the ground against the city gate wall.

"Did you just hear that? Are they going to fight back?"

Barry covered the wound on his shoulder and grinned in pain: "These Easterners are so crazy... The barbarians outside are so cruel that they want to kill them."

"Barry, to them, we are also barbarians." Elsa sat next to him, curled up her round and slender legs, hugged her knees, and looked at the generals walking away, her eyes flashing with excitement.

"We may witness the birth of a powerful country on this land."

The crisis at Yantang Pass was temporarily lifted, and defenses began to be repaired up and down the pass. After all, it was impossible for nine thousand cavalry to attack a hundred thousand cavalry. Even if Lu Bu dared, he would feel sorry for the generals he finally brought up.

At present, the four people agreed to continue the defense. The cavalry raids would alternate back and forth until the main force arrived.

……

At this time, Su Chen stepped onto the ancestral coffin again and passed Yunqi County with the main force.He had stayed here for a day before, paying homage to the deceased Fang Wenye, as well as Fang Jinyou and Fang Ling, his father and son, who were intercepted and killed by the Xirong cavalry while delivering grain to the Yantang prison.

Su Chen had met Fang Jinyou before. Back then, he followed Fang Wenye and Fang Xuejun to visit Ding'an City. There was a lot of banter in his words. But now, things have changed and people have changed. Such a person can also be a good person for Yan Yan. Tangguan exerted his strength and died.

Su Chen is not the kind of person who is petty and vengeful. After all, he died fighting against foreigners. At this moment, he is a hero.

Before leaving Yunqi County, he also asked Fang Xuejun to stay to mourn her grandfather and fulfill his duties as children and grandchildren.

As they walked all the way to Yantang Pass and approached the place where the group of Xirong cavalry came down from Youyan Mountain, Su Chen, who was already in a bad mood, saw that villages were burned to the ground one by one on the way, and the government officials and civilians in nearby counties were busy Try to restrain the body.

Along the way, the villages, fields, and forests were littered with the corpses of civilians, as well as the corpses of sentinel soldiers who had previously blocked the Xirong cavalry. There were hundreds of corpses found everywhere, and the smell of blood was already dyed red. Soil, corpses were abandoned on the roadside, or thrown into streams, or heads were cut off and stuck on stakes or hung under branches.

That year, the scene of Xirong leaving Yantang Pass and heading south to Yunqi County seems to have returned.

"...Commander Pei!"

Having seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood, one shouldn't have such mercy, but the indifference on Su Chen's face was a bone-chilling chill. He stood on the chariot leaning on the King of Xia Sword, looking at the corpse hanging under a burnt tree in front of him. A woman's body, he said softly: "Take people to kill all the thieves in Youyan Mountain first, and bring the leader over."

"...Others, follow me into the pass. I want to see if the head of this barbarian king is worthy enough to be used as a memorial to the people of Yan Kingdom."

He said.

The surrounding soldiers of Youyan, who were marching in a long formation, were gnashing their teeth as they watched this scene on the way. When they heard the sound of the horn, they all speeded up their steps.
