Seeing the fireworks, Lu Yu's eyes suddenly lit up. He actually made a false shot and rushed towards the gate of Yaocheng.
To be honest, the enemy's arrangement at the city gate was not strict, because they never thought that Lu Yu would rush into Yaocheng and brazenly rush into their base camp! In fact, they were very much looking forward to Lu Yu doing this, because
Once Lu Yu entered the city, with his small force, it was absolutely impossible to defend the city. Moreover, although there was no main force left in the city, there must be thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people. If Lu Yu could not capture the city but entered the city, then
It almost became a turtle in a urn.
After rushing into the city, Lu Yu's subordinate Heng Shiqiyong, who had already lost one eye, suddenly stood up and relied on the terrain of the city gate to resolutely lead his three hundred troops to cut off the rear. Although this was a fatal act, it was necessary.
Otherwise, an army that intends to flee will always be chased and hunted, and it will only collapse sooner or later.
When Lu Yu rushed to the center of the distant city, Lin Fengjin and more than ten cavalrymen crashed out from the street corner in front like ghosts. With a wave of his hand, the leader of the ten cavalry guards shot a loud arrow.
In a moment, they saw five or six carts being quickly pushed out behind them, blocking them in the middle of the road, and then setting them on fire. The carts seemed to be filled with flammable things, and they were immediately set on fire.
The fire started burning and spread towards the houses on both sides, successfully blocking the way back.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Fengjin had no time to say anything more, so he just pointed at Lu Yu and shouted three words:
"Far Castle!"
Lu Yu immediately led his men towards that direction and galloped over. There were bloodstains along the way, and from time to time, even exhausted mounts would spatter blood and fall to death!
In fact, Yaocheng was originally called Yaochao twenty years ago, and it still belonged to Xirong. It was built simply as a military fortress. Xirong's cavalry could use it as a supply point.
Looting and destroying the territory of Northern Qi.
Because this place is located on a traffic thoroughfare, it was expanded into a big city after it was taken away by the Northern Qi fifteen years ago. However, the original Yao Castle was not demolished, but was converted into a city guard palace. Instead, it was
Various reinforcements and repairs were carried out to allow the defenders to rely on the inner prefecture to defend even if the outer city was destroyed, delaying the arrival of reinforcements.
Because Xirong and Northern Qi have been at war for many years without stopping, the city guard's mansion is often maintained and repaired. Both defensive facilities and various baggage are fully equipped. Even the surrounding 20-foot-long residential buildings have been demolished. It can be called
It is a city within a city.
Its terrain is condescending, and its structure also shows the shape of the word "Shen". Although there is an avenue that leads directly to the center, the left and right corridors on both sides are densely packed with agencies and the terrain is complex. The avenue in the middle is also designed to be easy to defend.
Difficult to attack.
Although it is a straight road, only three to four hundred meters long in total, it is a slope from low to high. If you follow this road from the outside to the inside, every time you walk along the avenue for twenty or thirty meters, it is
There is a ladder that has to be climbed five or six meters up. You have to climb up the stairs. The defender can use the terrain to charge down, but the attacker has to attack from his back. It is very embarrassing. Moreover, such a ladder is designed with three steps.
!
While Lu Yu was fighting fiercely in front, attracting most of the attention of the place, Lin Fengjin led his 300 riders and quietly walked around to the opposite gate of Yaocheng.
The composition of the herdsmen and cavalry under Quanrong's command is very complex, including Tubo people, Xianbei people, etc., and there are also quite a lot of herdsmen and cavalry used as cannon fodder this time. In addition, manpower is tight, and those guarding the city gate are not local soldiers.
They were herdsmen from other places, so the people from the Sanli tribe sneaked in without any danger based on their appearance and rude curses. Mainly because the Xirong people also knew very well that the Snake-Eating Army was all Han Chinese, so Lin
That's why Feng Jin's attack was so easy to succeed.
After the group of them realized that the city was empty, and the main force was concentrated in the direction of the small half of the city that besieged Lu Yu, they began to pollute the water wells and arrange mechanisms in the city under the guidance of Lin Fengjin, but halfway through
, it was a good thing that it was accidentally bumped into by a dozen wandering cavalry.
However, these people turned out to be Xirong Zheng brand horsemen. They deserted during the war and came here to rob and make money. Therefore, it was really effortless for Lin Fengjin to get rid of them. He almost killed them all in one encounter.
annihilate.
Next, Lin Fengjin asked these prisoners and asked where the residents of Yaocheng had gone. Only then did he find out that the city guards and generals here were all the prince's people. Under the pressure of the prince, he attacked the enemy in advance.
They abandoned the city and fled in the name of being too powerful to stop them. Some of the people fled with them. When the bad news came that Jingxian County had been breached, a large number of people fled again.
Even so, there are still a small number of people who love their families and do not believe in evil. There are about ten thousand people in this group, but at least half of them were massacred. The remaining two or three thousand people were killed because of Lu Yu's arrival.
So in a hurry, they were imprisoned in the city guard's prison in Yaocheng. Those who couldn't be held in the prison were also imprisoned in the city guard's house.
When Lin Fengjin heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and immediately led his people to guard the city. There were one or two hundred Xirong troops guarding the city. There were also some wounded among them. In addition, they were abducted and tricked into opening the door. How could they resist?
Lin Fengjin, a group of elites who were like wolves and tigers, were killed as cleanly as if they were chopping melons and vegetables.
Those rescued residents of Yaocheng had long thought of dying in despair when they saw their relatives, friends, and neighbors being massacred. Suddenly they were rescued by Lin Fengjin. They must have shed tears of gratitude. Lin Fengjin showed it again.
With his official status, he easily gained their trust.
At this time, they were divided into groups one by one. The old, weak, sick and disabled could do the work of carrying and cooking, while the middle-aged men could be used as auxiliary soldiers. In this way, two to three thousand people were added. He planned
The success rate has greatly increased.
While Lin Fengjin was wreaking havoc in the distant city, he also deliberately collected weapons and luggage, and moved food, oil and other things from the rice noodle shop to the city guard's house, even at key places such as crossroads.
The arson mechanism was arranged, and when it was lit, the whole city was in beacon smoke, successfully delaying the opponent's attack.
When Lu Yu led the remaining 1,000 snake-eating troops and rushed into the city guard's mansion, at least half of them fell down from their horses. Their armors were broken all over their bodies, and they were all bloody and bloody.
I guess I had to rely on willpower to persevere before, but Mr. Ma Hong, the sweat-blood demon, was particularly seriously injured. It is estimated that there are one or two liters of arrows in his body.
However, the vitality of monsters is extremely strong, and since it took over from Lu Yu, it has enjoyed almost all the rare treasures in the world, and it is the leader among monsters. It is estimated that it will not die in a while. Lu Yu is also holding on at this time.
As soon as he got off his horse, he slumped on the chair after entering the room, his face turned pale, he forced himself to take a pill, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
At this time, Lin Fengjin arranged for the old, weak, sick and disabled Yaocheng residents to come forward, help them into the house to lie down, and do some simple first aid work, such as cleaning the wounds with salt water to stop bleeding and bandaging them with clean white cloth.
Wait and feed them some sugar water at the same time.
Don't underestimate these trivial matters. Some people who are obviously destined to die can recover and survive after receiving these cares. Even those with moderate injuries can recover better and faster.
Cui Yuemo was fine, though. His body was covered with flesh wounds. The most serious injury was a knife on his back. Unfortunately, a top-grade armor made from the best blood refining technique was broken into pieces by that knife. Fortunately, this
The power of the knife was released accordingly, so the knife wound on the back looked shocking. It cut from the neck to the buttocks, but in fact it only penetrated three-thirds of the flesh.
At this time, Lu Yu was closing his eyes to recover from his injuries. Lin Fengjin must have discussed the next thing with Cui Yuemo. After some inventory, although more than a thousand snake-eating soldiers rushed out, in fact, after some statistics,
It was discovered that there were less than 400 people who could continue to fight. Only about a hundred members of the Venomous Fang City could fight. Almost all the rest were seriously injured. Even as soon as they reached a safe place, the breath in their hearts was released.
Fifty or sixty people died after falling from their horses.
Lin Fengjin seemed very happy when he heard the number, and said with a simple smile:
"Four hundred people, it's much more than I thought. In this way, you can just select a hundred people who are in the best condition among these four hundred people. I don't want them to go to the battlefield with swords and risk their lives.
Instead, I gave some instructions to the strong men and told them what they should do when the enemy comes. The other brothers asked them to rest. The snake-eating army can only exert its strongest combat power under the leadership of the king. I
I won’t do anything to replace you.”
At this time, the mechanisms installed by Lin Fengjin have been activated in sequence. There are at least a dozen fire points in the entire Yaocheng. It is also a time when the weather is dry and everything is dry. In an instant, half of the city is in flames. And the wind and sand here in Yaocheng are very strong, and
This is not a place like Jiangnan Water Town, where you can dig a well just by digging a few meters. There are eight deep wells in the entire city, seven of which have been filled by Lin Fengjin, and one is in the city guard's mansion.
However, these methods are only temporary solutions. They can stop ordinary soldiers, but they cannot stop the elites. About half an hour later, Chibili came to report urgently, saying that a large number of people appeared outside the city guard house.
Elite sergeant Lin Fengjin nodded slightly and went up to watch with him. (To be continued.)
