Chapter 242 The Black Dragon Out of the Wild (Part 2)
Likou Pass
The north wind is whistling, and the earth is vast.
A large drop of rain fell from the air, fell on people's faces, and turned into a cold.
Although it is the hot summer, the heavy rain and the bleak scene around it make people feel chill from the outside to the inside.
"Sir, it's raining!"
Zhang Tai, the general of Likou Pass, stood on the city, looking at the wilderness horizon, where it was black and moving quickly towards the city, and thousands of troops were galloping.
The low voices in his ears could not make him react at all.
All his mind was now thrown into the surging tide of cavalry.
By the way, as a small checkpoint on the border, Zhang Tai had known that there was a day when the Hu people invaded. Is he finally coming now?
Zhang Tai had a faint bitterness on his lips, and he didn't even think about asking for help. Now the whole north is in war, so where can he get the strength to resist Hu Bing? He sorted out his clothes and sniffed: "Swear to defend the city to the death!"
"No!" The people around him obeyed the orders with stern eyes.
...The sound of weapons fighting each other, gasping, screaming, screaming, and metal collision sounded. Countless people were fighting in the heavy rain. Under the wind and rain, everything looked so blurry, with only a splash of blood, becoming clearer and clearer, and most mixed with the rain, dyeing the world all the way into blood.
As the small force of Likou Pass, even if he resisted to the death, it would only take two hours. After two hours, the battle stopped. Hu rode his horse through the level and galloped further away.
All the only bodies of hundreds of Han soldiers were left on the ground, and blood was spreading down.
"Ji Tu, what is the territory ahead?" The sky gradually cleared, and the cavalry team came to the city.
If the small border towns have made them feel prosperous, then along the way, they have become more and more deeply into the Han counties, which has amazed them.
The people of Guohan were rich, not only with fertile land, numerous shops, abundant rice, but also with countless people!
It’s not like a grassland, it’s sparsely populated on an empty grassland!
Asceaud was wearing golden armor and riding a black war horse. Although she was over fifty years old, she was still full of energy. This Hu King, who owned a large grassland, looked at everything in front of her and asked around her.
The leader Ji Tu was wearing heavy armor at the age of 40. Because he ate a lot of meat and killed people, there were large pieces of bulging horizontal meat on his cheeks, and his body was filled with strong evil spirits.
On the left and right, there were elite cavalry with strong figures. They sat firmly on the horse and looked around.
Listening to the question of the Khan, the leader of the thousand-man Ji Tu replied: "Khan has entered Youzhou, but it is still far from the capital. Khan, has he sent a vanguard to inquire in front?"
When Aceda saw the fighting spirit in Ji Tu's eyes, he nodded: "You can take someone to the front and find out!"
"Yes, khan!" Ji Tu responded happily, urging the war horses to greet his subordinates and move forward.
Looking at the cavalry running away, Asceada thought something.
At this time, there were dense cavalry, and the dancing flags were like the ocean.
The wind blew the flags and shook the sound. Ascead laughed loudly, thought carefully, and suddenly ordered the generals around him: "Send the order and arrest all the people in the nearby villages and young people! Let them follow our team, and those who refuse will be killed directly!"
"Yes, khan!"
"How can my warrior on the grassland make unnecessary sacrifices?" Looking into the distance, Ascehda had a sneer on her lips.
The purpose of his order was very obvious, driving these Han people to act as the vanguard team, let them fight and consume the power of the Han army!
When the Han army was in chaos, he ordered his Hu cavalry to charge and fight.
All his Hu Qi were elite, how could he bear to let them die in vain?
Listening to the cries coming from the nearby villages, Ascead sat on the horse expressionlessly, thinking about how to capture Youzhou as quickly as possible.
He personally led his troops to attack Youzhou, which was too dangerous.
Youzhou has a strong terrain, leaning against Taihang in the west, Yanshan in the north, facing the sea in the east, and Central Plains in the south. After obtaining this place, you can really attack and defend.
At this time, Jitu had already rushed to the front of a village and town with a thousand cavalry.
Unlike some villages and towns encountered on the border, the villages and towns near Youzhou City are already very rich.
Thinking of the attacks over the past few days, Ji Tu felt that Hu Qi had also relaxed!
Under the dark night sky, Ji Tu immediately shouted loudly: "Do you remember what I just said?"
"Remember!"
"Very good!" Ji Tu waved his arm forward and said loudly: "Before dawn, solve it quickly!"
"Yes!" The cavalry howled, followed the leader and rushed towards the village and town.
Yuyang County. County City
Although the entire county town has not been invaded by the Hu people, the atmosphere of war and troubled times can be seen everywhere.
On the street, passers-by were faintly uneasy, and half of the shops were closed, filled with the atmosphere of war.
In the prefect's office, in the conference hall, candlelight swaying and people gathered in. The anxiety here is more direct than in the city, because the people here get more information than ordinary people.
The prefect Li Bao was paced back and forth, his ordinary face full of anxiety, and his ordinary face turned into a bit hideous and distorted.
In the hall, the generals and civil servants under Li Bao were slightly uneasy and silently opposed.
Just as I was waiting, footsteps sounded and someone came in from outside.
Li Bao immediately rushed forward anxiously and asked, "Is there any news?"
The person who came in was not someone else, but his confidant Duan Hong who had just returned from the commander.
Duan Hong wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head pale face: "Sir, although the general agreed to send someone to come,... I heard that other counties were invaded by the Hu people. I am afraid that the troops sent will arrive in five days no matter how soon... If something happens in the territory in these five days..."
When he heard this, the prefect Li Bao's face immediately changed.
He said in a lost voice: "Five days? The Hu people may attack the city tomorrow!"
Duan Hong thought for a moment and offered a suggestion: "Sir, don't worry too much. I have known that the surrounding counties have strengthened their vigilance and passed the news from each other. It may not be conquered so quickly. Besides, not only are there 6,000 defenders in Yuyang City, but there is also a large army stationed in Yushan. Why should I worry so much?"
Fishing Mountain?
The prefect Li Bao blinked: "I almost forgot...but, they only have three thousand people..."
"Sir, three thousand people are enough to resist for a while. The Hu people really attacked. With them there, the city is in a tight defense. It may not be impossible to wait for reinforcements to arrive..."
The prefect Li Bao sighed: "It's time to go, so I have to do this."
Yucun is a village on the Yuyang border. Because it is located on the commercial road, the village is very rich and almost reaches a small town.
At this time in the past, the village had already quieted down and every family had rested.
Today, the village was filled with fire, screams of pain and screams of despair everywhere.
Jitu's thousand light cavalry captured Yucun with almost no effort.
The entire Yu Village has now become a place for more than a thousand Hu soldiers to vent.
Ji Tu was in the largest courtyard in the village at this time. A big pot was set up in the courtyard. The fat pigs raised in the village had been washed and removed from their hair. They were boiling in the pot.
The strong meat fragrance drifted away at this time and filled the entire yard.
The soldiers near the big pot were all hungry and were waiting to eat meat.
The crying in the village outside continued, but it was much weaker than the beginning.
"You are here to guard it, I will go out for a walk." Ji Tu is not the one who can stay. Now that the pork is not ripe, he naturally can't sit still here.
He rode out of the courtyard with a few personal soldiers and patrolled the village.
The entire village has become a Shura field at this time.
There were crying everywhere, riding horses, watching his soldiers, constantly slaughtering the Han people in the village, Ji Tu had a faint smile on his face.
He issued the massacre order because he hated these Han people very much.
When he followed the Khan, he had to use the Han people to attack the city in front of him, so he had to obey the orders.
Now he is the highest leader here, so he naturally has to vent his desires.
In his opinion, this was originally a warrior like them. The Han people were cowardly, so how could they occupy fertile and prosperous city land?
These are the ones that are used by warriors like them!
Even if the Han people are alive, they can only be used as cows and horses for them!
The war horses walked along the village with dead bodies on the road.
The bloody smell filled the air made Ji Tu feel faintly excited.
At this moment, from a courtyard not far away, bursts of women cried.
As soon as he urged his horse to go over, he saw several dozen men coming out from inside. They all smiled and walked out from inside. They could tell at a glance that their expressions were obvious.
Ji Tu frowned and ordered the cavalry to relax and have a meal.
But asking not to be sexually ill is not pity for women or morality. If you just vent your vent on women, it often affects your combat effectiveness.
However, looking around, I suppressed some anger and said, "Didn't you ask you to be responsible for the outside of the village? Why did you come here?"
Seeing that it was Ji Tu, the few people were slightly stunned.
Although the Tu Village was ordered by Ji Tu, they were ordered to take turns to watch outside the village, and they were all here, so this adult would inevitably not be furious.
Several people hurriedly fell to the ground and accused them of guilt.
"All get up, pay attention next time. The woman will sleep on the way through the army. When the sweat knows, you will chop your head!"
"I dare not commit it again!" the few people said hurriedly.
"Let them get faster, and before dawn, occupy the town in front and wait for the army to arrive." Ji Tu ordered.
The situation ahead has to be explored again. It is a serious crime to delay the Khan's affairs due to fun.
"Yes, the leader of the thousand men!" Several dozen men responded to their orders. They knew what the leader of the thousand men meant, so they turned around and drew their swords into the room.
Chapter completed!
