The speed of the herd of cattle was very fast, and they had already approached the dense crowd in just a few breaths. The frightened buffalo was so strong, and with their horns and sharp blades tied to their bodies, as soon as the herd of cattle rushed into the crowd, they
It caused huge damage and great panic. Although An Yue also thought about the possibility of a night attack on the Loop, they never expected that the Loop would adopt such an approach.
"Prepare the trebuchet." Under the burning butter torch, Dugu said with a smile.
Zhou Jilong quickly commanded the trebuchet to follow up and placed it at the best range. Countless fireballs were like meteors piercing the sky, with billowing smoke falling on the crowd of Anyue people.
"Commander, is this thing useful?" Long Zhishan asked doubtfully.
"Nonsense, if it's useless, will you let me use it?" Dugu snorted and cursed.
This kind of fireball is made of grease, dried cow dung, arsenic and other substances. It is not only difficult to put out, but also can emit highly irritating poisonous smoke. It is often a weapon during siege warfare. But now it is used at this time,
It’s also extremely suitable.
The people of Anyue, who had been frightened by the crazy herd of cattle, were suddenly even more panicked when the Loop came to do this. The burning fireball fell on the blankets or clothes, and immediately caused a raging fire, and the strong
The poisonous smoke made the people of Anyue even more frightened. In the thick night, the war drums of the Hetao army rumbled. The already tense nerves finally couldn't bear it anymore, and countless people began to rush towards Huaxi City desperately.
The city gate was naturally closed, but the people of Anyue, who had been frightened by the Hetao army outside the city, didn't care so much. They either banged on the city gate desperately, or found some items and piled them under the city wall.
Then they climbed up quickly. For them, it was definitely safe inside Huaxi City. But if they stayed outside, even if they were not trampled to death by the crazy cattle, they would still be burned to death by the smoke of the fire. Besides, those death-rushing ghosts in the Hetao
The drums were beating wildly, and it was obvious that they would launch an attack immediately.
Chaos, chaos.
The soldiers on the city wall were still resolutely resisting the people's entry at first, but they soon discovered that more and more people were climbing up, and they had simply lost their basic sanity. Once they encountered the defense
The soldiers blocked the way, and the opponents fought desperately, causing chaos on the city wall.
He Qianyun was the first to know the news of the Hetao army's raid. Since the Hetao army was hoarded outside the city, he still hadn't slept even though it was late at night. He led his soldiers to the city wall in three steps at a time.
As soon as he saw the scene at that time, He Qianyun's head suddenly grew bigger.
"Light all the torches on the city wall!" He Qianyun shouted flatly: "Stop the panicking people, but anyone who disrupts order will be shot to death!"
The soldier said with a mournful face: "General, each of them seems to be disrupting order. Can't we kill them all?"
"Idiot!" He Qianyun slapped the soldier in the face and shouted angrily: "The general I am referring to is those who are running around among the crowd and causing chaos, not these panicked common people."
The soldier was slapped, but he still didn't know the difference between the two. He just looked at He Qianyun's face and he looked so ugly that he didn't dare to answer.
He Qianyun thought for a moment and then said: "Come here, inform General Feng Sanlang and General Qian Shuang of Qi Yue and ask them to be careful. Hetao's behavior today is very abnormal. I'm afraid they will take advantage of the chaos to launch an attack."
As soon as he finished speaking, countless sparks suddenly approached Huaxi at the speed of a shooting star chasing the moon. He Qianyun's face became even more serious. He Tao's cavalry, Hetao actually dispatched cavalry at night.
Under such circumstances, the cavalry cannot be used to attack the city at all, but can only be used to create chaos. Do they want to get rid of the people outside the city in one fell swoop and cut off the branches during the siege? However, if that is really the case
If so, the infantry from Hetao should also be dispatched.
In the middle of confusion, He Qianyun suddenly felt a strong wind blowing towards his face. With decades of experience on the battlefield, He Qianyun bent down quickly. The guards behind him didn't know what happened.
Leng Jiang had already shot them in the face. The arrow was extremely powerful. Under the strong momentum, the soldier was actually taken back several steps.
"What are you planning to do in Hetao? Do you want to shoot our mid-level and senior generals to reduce the combat effectiveness of our army?" This idea just came up, and He Qianyun suddenly smiled. Under such circumstances, if Hetao
If you are able to distinguish who is a senior general and who is an ordinary soldier, then the other party's eyes are a little too good.
Leng arrows kept shooting out, and only a whizzing sound could be heard, and screams kept coming from around him. One of the feather arrows happened to hit the torch next to He Qianyun, and sparks suddenly shot out, but the torch was extinguished.
An idea flashed across He Qianyun's mind, and he suddenly understood the other party's purpose. Hetao was not shooting people, but shooting away torches. Without the torches, the stars and the moon happened to be dark today, and the already panicked people were surrounded by darkness.
If it doesn't happen, it will inevitably lead to more panic and then cause greater damage.
It was too late for He Qianyun to understand. At the moment when he just figured it out, almost all the torches around him were shot down by the Hetao cavalry, and other places were not included. It originally looked like a city wall surrounded by fire dragons. Suddenly,
It became pitch black again.
The drums of the Hetao are still beating continuously, and among the rumbling drums, the sound of the cavalry's killing is particularly harsh. The people of Mitsukoshi were already frightened, thinking that a disaster was imminent, so they rushed towards the city wall even more desperately, but He Qianyun
Just now, an order was issued to shoot those who caused chaos. The soldiers below could not distinguish the priorities at all. In order to save their own lives or to implement He Qianyun's order, countless soldiers drew their bows and arrows one after another.
The scene became even more chaotic. Especially the behavior of Anyue soldiers shooting one of their own people aroused the anger of the people. Soon, fights broke out near the city wall, which was originally crowded with people, and the people screamed.
The sound, the soldiers' roars, became a chorus.
"Drums, why did the drums stop? Try hard! The drums must not stop!" Dugu was listening with enthusiasm when he suddenly felt something was wrong and shouted loudly.
Jiang Chenzhou ran over in a hurry, nodded and bowed and said: "Commander, you have been beating the war drums for three hours. The soldiers are also tired, so they just took a rest."
Dugu was furious. He threw the riding crop in his hand in an arc in the air and shouted angrily: "Idiot, who asked the soldiers to beat the drum? Didn't I tell you? Hanging sheep beats the drum, idiot!"
Dugu never rides a horse, but he always wears a rather exquisite riding whip. But this riding whip has never been used against horses. More often, he uses it on his soldiers.
The expression on Jiang Chenzhou's face was still as bright as a flower, but the one who nodded and bowed did not leave. Dugu frowned and tilted his head: "Asshole, even I dare to scheme against you? Are you trying to say that all the soldiers are doing this?
You have been waiting for three hours, so you are eager to go into battle?"
"The handsome man is wise!" The expression on Jiang Chenzhou's face became even more complimentary.
Dugu suddenly laughed: "Do you really think we will attack the city tonight? Haha, military advisor, look at these idiots."
Xuanji was still shaking his fan unhurriedly, even though the night wind was quite cool now. Seeing Jiang Chenzhou looking at him in surprise, Xuanji couldn't help but smile: "Jiang Chenzhou, did Du Shuai say that he will attack the city tonight?
"
"No." Jiang Chenzhou smiled coquettishly: "It's just that the soldiers saw that Commander-in-Chief you had the cavalry assemble, and the war drums were rumbling, plus I just saw that boy Zhu Hongjian get out happily, so I thought that Commander-in-Chief would tonight
Something will be done.”
"The cavalry's attack is enough to give the Anyue soldiers a drink. If we really start a night battle and face a group of almost crazy people, our losses will definitely be huge. Don't worry, wait until dawn, outside the city
If there are still 20% of the Mitsukoshi monkeys left, it’s already pretty good.” Dugu said with a smile, “By the way, who did you see happily?”
"That bastard Zhu Hongjian, ah!" Jiang Chenzhou patted his head and said with sincerity: "The commander is indeed wise."
Dugu gave a long laugh: "Haha, there's no need to flatter me here, I don't do this! If you are really serious, you'd better go back and sleep early, otherwise how will you have the energy to go to the battlefield tomorrow?"
No one expected that the Anyue Kingdom, the most powerful among the Mitsukoshi and second only to Jinhua in national power, would be destroyed so quickly. Moreover, Dugu only mobilized twenty members of the Red Snake, Honor, Feng Wu and Zhulu Legions.
An army of ten thousand easily captured the city gate of Anyue. By the time Cheng Guochi and Li Xiaomo's 200,000 troops from the east arrived, Dugu had already controlled half of the city and was now commanding the army to annihilate the city in an orderly manner.
The Mitsukoshi monkey who fought desperately.
Faced with such a record, Li Xiaomo and others were dumbfounded. Originally, they thought that just to deal with the two million people outside the city would take at least ten days and a half. Who knew that Dugu only needed one night and half a month?
During the day, he easily wiped out all the people outside the city and captured half of Huaxi City.
"Dushuai, how did you do it?" Li Xiaomo asked sincerely.
"Buddha said, don't say it, don't say it!" Dugu said with a smile, a proud smile on his face.
Dugu does have thousands of reasons to be proud.
After wiping out more than two million Mitsukoshi monkeys outside the city, Dugu did not lose a single soldier. Except for an infantryman who was seriously injured by an angry buffalo while tying a knife to its horn, not a single soldier was killed.
More than 2,000 buffaloes, thousands of fireballs, two goats that were accidentally thrown to death while the hanging sheep was beating drums, and more than 100,000 arrows shot by the cavalry after a tiring night. This is all Dugu spent in one night, but it was just
Under the command of Dugu, the more than two million Mitsukoshi monkeys outside the city and the soldiers guarding the city either fought or killed each other. When daybreak, besides the dead bodies everywhere outside the city wall, the surviving golden flower monkeys
There are only about 300,000 left. Of course, there are still many golden monkeys who escaped to Huaxi City by chance. Including the original population of Huaxi City, the total does not exceed 800,000.
If a force were to attack under such circumstances, Anyue Monkey, who had just lost his loved one and was now full of anger, would definitely turn his grief and anger into strength and fight the Hetao with high morale. This is something Dugu absolutely does not want to see.
So, in the next two days, Dugu never launched any attack, even the cavalry harassment was not dispatched.
However, just after the opponent's mind completely relaxed and the belief that the enemy would win gradually faded, Dugu personally commanded hundreds of thousands of troops and launched a fierce attack from the four walls of Huaxi City. Huaxi was caught off guard and was caught off guard.
As a result, before they could stabilize their position, countless Hetao armies suddenly appeared in the city. Under attacks from both inside and outside, Huaxi City fell without any suspense.
"Don't these people know that apart from being a rogue and helpless, our commander-in-chief also has a way to hide the enemy?" When Haotian received the battle report, his car had already entered the Kingdom of Anyue.
Haotian's journey south really caused a lot of trouble, especially when crossing the river. The Qingyun was so spacious that ordinary transport ships and large warships could not accommodate the bottom floor area of hundreds of square meters.
Luxurious carriage. In desperation, He Bugui had to widen the pontoon bridge at the beginning. Only then did the Qingyun cross the Xijiang River without any danger. But it is conceivable that it would be equally troublesome when going back.
However, Xian Lianchen leaned his head next to him and said, "Why do Du Shuai like to use tunnels to attack cities? Was he a mouse in his previous life?"
Haotian chuckled: "You girl, if Du Shuai hears these words, you will definitely suffer. Du Shuai is definitely not a mouse. In this big world, how can there be such a rogue mouse? It's the one below him.
That Zhu Hongjian is really a talent."
Xian Lianchen joked: "It seems that as a superior, not only do you have to have roosters and dogs, but you also have to raise a few more tomb robbers who dig up human graves. I just don't know if this continues, our senior generals in Hetao will
There will be some strange and weird characters appearing in it.”
In the battle of Huaxi City, Dugu relied on the tunnels dug by Zhu Hongjian to win the battle.
Zhu Hongjian was originally a tomb robber. Although he did not have many outstanding military talents, he was definitely a veteran in his profession. In fact, on the night of the Dugu night battle, Zhu Hongjian
He was directing the soldiers to dig tunnels, but in order to avoid being noticed by the other party, Zhu Hongjian was very careful, and according to Dugu's order, he had to dig out ten or eight tunnels in one go. The task was quite heavy, so he dug for two full days. However,
The effect was indeed good, with more than 30,000 elite soldiers infiltrating the Hetao army in one breath.
When the army outside the city launched a general attack, 30,000 elites suddenly rushed out from inside. Except for some who set fire to the city to create chaos, the rest raided the four city walls according to the original plan. In the end, the inside and outside cooperated to capture Huaxi.
Qiu Mu suddenly asked: "Husband, um, those corpses, aren't Du Shuai planning to build a city of bones again?"
Haotian nodded, but his expression was a bit regretful: "Including the corpses of Anyue monkeys outside the city, there are almost three million. Du Shuai is very busy right now."
Zhang Yuewan and others' faces turned pale. Any one of them had a lot of blood on their hands, even Xian Lianchen and Qiu Mu. As for the military generals Xue Qingcheng and Zhang Yuewan, even more so
They kill people like crazy. However, they have never been accustomed to the cruelty and cold-blooded murderousness of Hetao. They are women after all, so they are naturally a little soft-hearted.
Moreover, they are not Ying Ji'er and Chu Yueying. Without the pain of destroying their family and the tragic experience of being homeless and precarious, they simply cannot be so cold-blooded.
In fact, the soldiers in Hetao are not really cold-blooded. They are just like this on the battlefield because they understand that being kind to the enemy is cruel to themselves.
"The merits and demerits will be judged by future generations. At least we now have a clear conscience." Haotian said with a smile, but there was a bit of vicissitudes in his tone.
Zhang Yuewan had a different idea in her heart. This was already the third bone city in the Hetao. The military in the Hetao was really too bloodthirsty. If it hadn't been for herself and her father, maybe there would have been a riot in the Huai River.
Such a round of crazy massacre.
"Fortunately, I killed Ji Shi and the others. Otherwise, with their temperament, they would definitely bring disaster to Huai River in the future." Zhang Yuewan thought happily in her heart.
"Chu Yue and An Yue have been exterminated, and Qi Yue is almost dead. It seems that only the Golden Flower Dynasty can still cause us some trouble." Haotian said with his eyes slightly closed.
While Dugu's 400,000-strong army was annihilating Chu Yue and Anyue, the bloodbaths near Zhuxi City were not idle either. Qi Yue's 100,000 soldiers, with their overwhelming strength, had followed An Yue and retreated into Huaxi City, so the country was extremely empty.
, Blood Kill wiped out Qi Yue almost effortlessly. In order to prevent the people of Qi Yue from fleeing to Jinhua, Blood Kill's 30,000 cavalry were directly stationed at the border area between Qi Yue and Jinhua, while the Yellow Turban Army acted as Qi Yue's cavalry.
The main force in the massacre.
"The Bloody Commander is indeed shrewd. We, the Yellow Turban Legion, will take all the blame for this." After hearing this, Zhang Yuewan thought with a wry smile. However, people under the eaves have to bow their heads, and when Jinhua Mitsukoshi went north that day, he was indeed murderous.
Ma, thinking of this, Zhang Yuewan felt somewhat comforted.
"What happened to Wen Towu and the others?" Xian Lianchen was very concerned about this.
"Gong Shenglong and Che Ye died in the battle, and Wen Touwu committed suicide by taking poison. Haha, the king was afraid of the pain when he committed suicide. He put the knife on his neck, but he didn't dare to do it, so he had to take poison. As for He Qianyun and other military personnel
All the generals were killed in the battle, and none of them were captured." Haotian said with a smile: "After the Qiyue King was defeated by the Blood Commander, the Blood Commander also went on a killing spree, and no one from the Mitsukoshi royal family escaped."
Qiu Mu rolled her cute little eyes. Of course it would be very painful when she committed suicide, not to mention that the other party was a pampered king. It was already good to have the courage to commit suicide. However, she did not agree with Haotian's words: "Husband, sir
, it is simply impossible to say that the Mitsukoshi royal family has become extinct."
"Oh?" Haotian was a little surprised.
"Don't forget, on Northwest Second Road, the former king of Anyue, His Royal Highness Wen Xingfan, is still working as a coolie."
Haotian slapped his head and forgot about this matter. Thinking of his meeting with Wen Xingfan, Haotian couldn't help but laugh: "I didn't expect that the only bloodline of the Mitsukoshi royal family would end up here. That's all.
, this matter has nothing to do with him.”
Qiu Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that Haotian would suddenly think of Wen Xingfan and order to kill him in order to eliminate the root cause. But now it seems that Haotian is indeed clear about his grudges.
