Chapter 197 A Han Becomes a Wuhu (I Want To Live For Decades 2)
Li Han always felt that his destination should not be in the singing and dancing of Chang'an City, let alone in the wine ponds and meat forests.
So when his grandfather asked him to come to the north to find exotic beauties for the emperor, he agreed without hesitation.
You can set off with the mission. After arriving in Beiliao, you have to walk the rest of the way by yourself. Jianming, do you know the way?
At that time, my grandfather squinted his eyes, which were considered by the ladies of Chang'an to be the most beautiful among the dandies. Their eyes turned into triangular shapes, and his eyes swept over him with scrutiny.
If you want to find your own path, you must first get out of Chang'an and leave my wing.
So he left.
He felt that the sea and sky were vast outside, and even if he had empty hands, he would definitely have a full suitcase when he came back.
The herdsman of the Kibo tribe showed him a good road that had been trodden by his ancestors with an honest look on his face. There were water sources along the way. He led his men and horses and followed it contentedly until he met the knights from the royal court of the Kibo tribe...
This was the first lesson taught to him outside Chang'an, a lesson that almost killed him.
Zhao Youcai beside him moved.
Li Han has already seen it.
A group of black shadows walked along both sides of the street and quietly moved toward the city gate.
Li Han shook his head.
The black shadow slowly approached.
Zhao Youcai felt that it was almost done. If we take the lead here, the thieves elsewhere will definitely rise up and catch them all in one fell swoop.
He pointed ahead.
Li Han shook his head again, his eyes shining slightly in the dark night.
What are you waiting for?
Even though Li Han's fierceness when he was training with the Taiping Army a while ago was admirable, Zhao Youcai still felt that the Ming government should not let this noble son of Chang'an command the battle on the city wall. He believed that the Ming government was tempering Li Han, but
It’s not the time to be hardworking!
boom!
On the street of shops, a fire suddenly broke out.
Those black figures silently quickened their pace.
What are you waiting for?
Zhao Youcai tightened his grip on the handle of the knife.
But Li Han remained calm.
He patted a sergeant.
"Who?" the sergeant shouted.
"Kill!"
The black shadows let out a shout, and then divided into two, some people rushed towards the city head, and some people rushed towards the city gate.
Zhao Youcai felt a chill running down his spine and whispered: "There must be cavalry outside to respond. If they rush in..."
Li Han said softly: "Are these few people worthy of being guarded by a group of us?"
This madman, he still wants to bring in enemies from outside?
Zhao Youcai looked around.
There are only about 300 people in the city at the moment.
"There are too many people and it is easy to be discovered. I know that Zitai has set up an ambush in the city and told him that there will be 500 people at the city gate and more crossbows and arrows."
He did it on purpose, killing first and then showing off, forcing the Ming government to dispatch troops. If the reinforcements arrived late and allowed the enemy troops to rush in, the more than 300 people on the top of the city would be useless.
Zhao Youcai seemed to feel a stream of ice water pouring in from the top of his head, and his whole body was freezing.
"I know there are ways to send messages in the army, so what are you waiting for?"
Li Han kicked him and then shouted: "Light the fire!"
Puff puff puff!
There are torches all over the city.
The shadows climbing up the stairs looked up.
Rows of archers with bows and arrows.
"They were prepared!"
Someone screamed.
"Fire the arrow!"
There was the sound of the city gate opening.
Woohoo!
Zhao Youcai made people sound the horn for reinforcements.
The city gate has been opened.
Someone rushed out and the horn sounded.
The two horn sounds were mixed together, and the predetermined rhythm could not be heard.
In Dong Huan's eyes, the fire in the city was like the glimmer of a candle.
He mounted his horse and waited for the final signal.
"Let's attack." His subordinates were impatient.
Dong Huan shook his head, "If there is no signal, the city has not been able to open it. If we attack rashly and the enemy troops suddenly move out, the three hundred cavalry will not be enough for the Taiping Army to gnaw at them, wait!"
Woohoo!
The horn sounded.
"That's not right." His subordinates checked and said, "We have booked three long and two short."
"Idiot, there are also the sounds of horns in the city mixed together." Dong Huan happily pulled out his long sword: "Attack, don't stop when you enter the city. When you encounter the enemy, they will be directly dispersed, leaving the Khan's army to clean up later.
!”
The sound of horse hooves was like muffled thunder, and the city continued to expand before my eyes.
The city gate opened, and several black figures rushed out of the city. They roared in the direction of the three hundred riders.
"ah!"
Arrows were flying from the top of the city, and several black figures fell to the ground after being struck by arrows.
But Dong Huan had already gotten the signal.
"rush."
At the top of the city, Li Han saw a dark shadow rushing over and shouted: "Fire the arrow."
Arrows flew by like locusts.
Amidst the miserable howls of the men and horses, the enemy troops were already approaching the city gate, and their bows and arrows were useless.
Dong Huan saw the city gate open and shouted excitedly: "Give Khan the signal, Taiping City...is broken!"
Woohoo!
The sound of the horn is powerful.
Then the enemy troops rushed into the city gate.
The defenders at the top of the city turned around, and the archers charged down.
Ahead, footsteps came in order.
There were many torches, illuminating the faces of the Taiping soldiers.
"crossbow!"
Diao She's loud voice echoed far into the dark night.
"Zitai is not a fool. The best weapon to deal with the enemy's cavalry surprise attack in the dark is the crossbow. The night makes us confused, but they are even more confused!"
Li Han smiled like a fox, "It would be so beautiful to roast mutton and drink wine in such a beautiful night!"
He took out the wine bag and asked, "Where's the kerosene I asked you to prepare?"
More than ten jars of fire oil were brought out.
"Fire the arrow!"
Crossbow arrows shot out.
"Lower your head."
Everyone in the city lowered their heads.
Sure enough, a missed crossbow arrow flew overhead.
grass!
Zhao Youcai vowed to practice crossbowmanship fiercely when he came back.
Li Han shouted happily: "Oil!"
Zhao Youcai glanced at him and whispered: "It's pouring oil."
But the breadth and depth of the Central Plains dialect is reflected at this moment.
Li Han said to add oil, but the sergeants poured the oil down consciously.
"Fire the arrow!"
Archers began to fire intensively from the top of the city and from the reinforcements on the long street.
At this moment, Dong Huan finally understood.
"This is a trap, get out!"
The remaining hundreds of riders were preparing to turn around from the long street.
Li Han held the wine bag in his left hand and a torch in his right hand. He walked to the edge of the city, took a sip of wine, and smiled at the enemy soldiers who turned around.
Release your hands.
The torch fell.
Several riders rushed over.
boom!
They rushed into the sudden sea of fire.
The men and horses didn't even have time to howl, and rushed out of the city gate with flames.
Immediately the man of fire fell from his horse, and the horse of fire fell.
At the other end of the long street, Yang Xuan was surrounded by people. He looked at the flames in the direction of the city gate and was speechless. Then a sergeant came and reported Li Han's arrangement.
"He allowed the enemy's spies to open the city gate, and also ordered people to prepare kerosene. When the enemy discovered that the city had been prepared and wanted to retreat, he used kerosene to block the enemy's return route."
That cunning guy is preparing to roast a living person!
Yang Xuan was thinking, if Li Zhen knew that his son was so ruthless and cunning, would he be able to sleep peacefully at night?
I guess it is possible, after all, a son cannot kill his father.
In many cases, morality can fulfill the constraints that law cannot do, but in many cases, morality is also powerless against some ugliness.
For example, take the relationship chain between king, minister, father and son. If you cannot break this chain, you can only sink in it.
That’s why his great cause is called fighting against rebellion!
Yang Xuan asked softly: "Does he have anything to say?"
"Li Langjun said that since the enemy wants to break the city, three hundred horses are too few, so a large group of people should be not far away from here. He said..."
The sergeant glanced at Yang Xuan and stopped talking.
That bitch! Yang Xuan shouted: "Say."
"Li Langjun said that with the fire at the city gate, the enemy's main force should be dispatched. What are the Ming Mansion waiting for?"
Yang Xuan cursed loudly, "You are a piece of shit, let the King of Wei deal with him."
But he had already prepared for this...he was dressed in military uniform, with guards led by Uda surrounded behind him.
Looking back, I saw a crowd of cavalry, silently waiting for orders.
"Set off."
Yang Xuan took the lead.
The sound of horse hooves shocked the long night.
Ever since the fire broke out, there have been many more soldiers in the city.
"The Ming Dynasty is leading people to catch thieves in the city, and they are not allowed to go out."
"Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang!" someone shouted with a gong, "There are thieves in the city tonight, and the Taiping Army is searching and suppressing them. Anyone who goes out without permission will be killed."
The exiles are so bold that they will arrest anyone who goes out without authorization. This guarantees that there will be a group of people on the street, pointing at the fire, and talking like a group of women. Then they will involuntarily change the topic of discussion.
...Discuss whether there are any opportunities to make profits under such circumstances, such as taking advantage of the situation to steal something.
The flames at the city gate are gradually shrinking.
There are still dozens of enemy cavalry left.
Zhao Youcai said: "It's time to attack."
Li Han took a sip of wine and said, "I did what I should do, and the rest...it's time for Zitai to come."
Dong Huan saw the fire head shrinking and said ecstatically: "Get ready..."
The sound of horse hooves came from behind.
Dong Huan looked back slowly with a stiff smile on his face.
A knight rushed forward, and the knight stretched out his hand to pull off his mask.
Raise the sword.
"Avoid it!"
Diao She shouted.
The sergeants moved out of the way.
"Wan Sheng!"
They watched as their Mingfu took the lead and rushed into the enemy army.
The cavalry followed in turn.
When they rushed out of the city gate, they left a pile of mush behind them.
Hua Zhuo is coming madly with three thousand cavalry.
"quick!"
Hua Zhuo stared ahead and shouted excitedly.
At this moment, all he could see was the Taiping City with its flames soaring into the sky.
"Surge into the city and find Yang Xuan first. No matter life or death, I only want his head!"
"Take orders!"
His subordinates responded loudly.
The morale is like a rainbow!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Hua Zhuo was in high spirits and laughed happily.
Next to him, Wahai shouted: "We must defeat the Taiping Army first."
Hua Zhuo said calmly: "In the chaos, our army only needs one attack, and the Taiping Army will turn into a pile of meat!"
"Someone is coming out of the city."
someone shouted.
Hua Zhuo rode his horse and rushed to the front.
A mass of cavalry rushed out of Taiping City.
They quickly gathered behind Yiqi.
"Who? Where is Dong Huan?"
Hua Zhuo's body shook.
There are at least five or six hundred horses ahead.
Dong Huan only had 300 horses.
He can't conjure more people out of thin air, so...
"Hand out my flag."
The people on both sides stopped, and a voice came through the night.
Very clear.
Very familiar.
The boy who touched the bones was later the magistrate of Taiping County.
A big flag was slowly raised.
The night wind blew, and the big flag whistled.
Under the light of the torch, someone exclaimed.
"It's Yang Ziqi!"
Under the banner, Yang Xuan smiled and said: "Khan is coming at full speed at starry night, but are you coming to Taiping as a guest? Yang has prepared drinks in the city and invites Khan to come to the city to meet him."
Hua Zhuo's heart had sunk to the bottom, "Yang Xuan."
"That's right, it's Yang." Yang Xuan opened his visor and smiled kindly, like a host welcoming guests from afar, "Yang only has 600 horses here. Khan seems to have at least 3,000 horses, five
It can be surrounded. Khan, what are you waiting for?"
This is Chi Guoguo's provocation.
I only have 600 horses, and you have 3,000.
Siege five times the city, this is the art of war.
Now I'm just standing in formation here. If you don't attack, you're the son of a bitch!
Sanqianqi was right behind him, breathing rapidly.
How many people can endure such humiliation?
Hua Zhuo's breathing was also rapid.
Attack!
Attack!!
Attack!!!
The fire at the city gate is now only a little bit on the ground. In the darkness, it seems that there are thousands of troops hidden inside.
There were screams and howls in the city.
It seems like a mess.
but!
What's inside the city gate?
There are more than 2,000 Taiping troops. There are 600 here. Where are the infantry?
Whether to put out the fire in the city, or to wait behind the city gate for the order to attack.
Three thousand cavalry may seem like a lot, but once the infantry comes out...
The crossbow of the Taiping Army!
There is also an array of spears.
In the dark night, the power of the cavalry was reduced to the greatest extent.
Can't attack!
Hua Zhuo glanced at Wahai, those words flowing in his heart.
Has your courage faded along with the title of Khan?
No!
Hua Zhuo drew out his long knife angrily.
Behind him is his tiger warrior, who can defeat the enemy in front of him. He is the most outstanding khan in the grassland.
The fire at the city gate suddenly flashed and then went out.
The dark city gate is like the devil's mouth, grinning ferociously at Hua Zhuo.
Hua Zhuo calmed down, knowing that he had to regain his face at this moment, otherwise after returning to the Vashe tribe, his prestige would gradually melt away like ice in the sun.
"A small town!" Hua Zhuo said reservedly, "It can be broken with a backhand."
This bitch can actually resist the temptation to destroy the city... Yang Xuan said lightly: "No matter how small the city of the Tang Dynasty is, it is not something that foreigners can spy on."
Hua Zhuo said coldly: "When Wa Xie's main force is used up, Taiping will be like powder!"
Yang Xuan raised his voice.
"During the time of the Chen State, the Hu people outside the fortress were domineering and robbed and killed the caravans. Two thousand of the Chen State's army went out to attack the Hu. The Hu people were besieged by tens of thousands of troops. Two thousand infantry rampaged outside the fortress. They calmly killed the culprits and then withdrew. Tens of thousands of troops followed in pursuit.
In the end, only a hundred of the two thousand people entered the pass, but tens of thousands of barbarians fell along the way."
"At the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Hu people outside the Great Wall were knocking at the gate. Hundreds of soldiers in the small town of Jingyang were besieged by more than ten thousand Hu people. After a fierce battle for more than ten days, all the people in the city came to the top of the city. All the white-haired and young children enthusiastically killed the enemy.
The city was destroyed, no one in the city surrendered, and everyone died in the battle."
"The emperor was furious and immediately sent out a large army to retaliate and swept across the wall."
Yang Xuan raised his hand.
"I am Datang!"
"mighty!"
On top of the city, Li Han shouted loudly.
At this moment, everyone is excited for the glory of their ancestors.
Yang Xuan raised his hand and slowly clenched it into a fist, "Alien races can be rampant for a while, but as long as we in the Central Plains unite as one, this world will still be in our hands!"
Morale instantly soared.
The glorious achievements of the Central Plains against foreign races in the past flashed through the minds of countless people.
Have I ever been afraid of any alien race?
Hua Zhuo heard the breathing behind him gradually subside.
"Bang the drum!"
Yang Xuan raised his horizontal sword.
At the top of the city, King Wei raised a pair of drumsticks and beat the drum vigorously.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of drums is powerful.
Yang Xuandao pointed forward.
A sentence from the scroll flashed in my mind.
One man is like five barbarians!
This is what happened in the Tang Dynasty!
"Enter!"
Six hundred riders followed him, advancing slowly to the sound of drums.
"This is coercion!"
At the top of the city, Li Han laughed and said: "From counting the achievements of the Central Plains against the Hu people, to the drumming to build momentum, and then to pressing forward step by step, this is to force Hua Zhuo to make a decision in front of three thousand cavalry. To advance or to retreat.
.If you advance, you will be surrounded by dangers; if you retreat, your prestige will be lost... Zitai has good tactics!"
He raised his head and drank wine, then lay down on the top of the city and looked ahead.
"Does Hua Zhuo dare to face Zitai's persecution?"
Behind the city gate, there was a crowd of foot soldiers, silently waiting for orders.
The remaining firelight in the distance reflected their armor.
Shine brightly!
Yue Er looked at these lights from behind the crack in the door and wiped his old eyes.
"Why do I feel that the Tang Dynasty back then has returned?"
outside the city.
Six hundred Taiping soldiers, led by Yang Xuan, pressed forward step by step.
Hua Zhuo was breathing rapidly and his expression was changing.
"Yang Xuan has an ambush in the city."
He shouted: "Withdraw!"
Turn around and hit the horse.
Hua Zhuo spurted out a mouthful of blood.
His dream of the Great Khan also disappeared on the grassland with this mouthful of blood.
