It was the fifth day of the seventh month in the second year of Zhaoxi.
The afternoon of early autumn is supposed to be a time when the warm sun and warmth make people feel tired. A fierce battle has just begun under the dilapidated Yujing City. One of the fighting parties is the more than a thousand galloping wolves lingering here. On the other side, there was the Red Flame Army led by General Yan, who had just arrived at the city early this morning.
Young He Han, with eyes as bright as ink, was struggling to pull out his Mo Dao from the corpse of a galloping wolf, panting from exhaustion.
At this time, he did not know that Qi Ziyin had found Ning Yue, nor did he know that just yesterday evening, his best friend had just retreated westwards from Longshou Crossing. Only the loud noises coming from the direction of Yujing made him go south. He tried his best to lead his troops back, but still failed.
And there have been more than ten battles like this since the young man led his army here. At this time, he knew extremely well that although the number of wolves could not pose a threat to the Red Flame Army at the moment, The increasingly strong smell of blood in the air and the howls of these giant beasts before they died would only attract more and more galloping wolves from all directions in Changzhou.
Because of this, he had first asked Tuya to lead five thousand elite troops to retreat south quickly. If he encountered wolves along the way, he would not hesitate to fight until he saw the Wei Liang Army and Lu Qiu Borong retreating to Suoyang Pass, seeking to conclude an alliance with them. And he He himself led more than 10,000 soldiers to stay for half a day to break up the rear, hoping to eliminate as many troubles as possible.
However, half a day was still too long. For the pack of wolves patrolling the land of Changzhou, which had been unstoppable for a long time, the cavalry army daring to appear under the city of Yujing was tantamount to a huge provocation.
Before the Red Flame Army was ready for the next charge, they saw countless wolf heads with pointed ears emerging from the horizon in all directions. Even in the Dankli Desert, they had never seen such a large number. The galloping wolf. Now under He Han's orders, the cavalry gathered at the foot of the city again, but their morale had dropped to the bottom.
Seeing the main force of the cavalry, the wolves seemed to have not met an opponent for a long time, and their eyes once again showed the desire to kill. Just hearing a long howl, the huge beast spread out its four legs and launched an all-out charge on the plain. The words coming out of its mouth The heavy breathing and drooling saliva stirred up a sinister wind with a strong stinking smell, and struck directly at the Red Flame Army arrayed under the city.
In the long red formation, the knights took out their weapons that were still stained with blood from their waists, tapped their helmets with the handles of their swords, and put down their folded face shields.
This action was originally intended to boost morale and intimidate the enemy. However, at the moment, the knights are acting sloppily and do not have the indomitable spirit of the past. Many of them just hope that after putting on masks, they can make people around them His comrades could not see his panicked face. However, the despair and fear revealed in countless pairs of eyes quickly spread in the queue.
"Warriors, we are standing here today not to fight for the Muyun tribe, let alone the Great Ascension. Our fight today is only for ourselves, to fight a bloody way out of the current desperate situation! Just for Being able to see my parents, relatives, wife and children again! If they have gone to Changsheng Heaven at this time, then we will avenge them, and then go to heaven to meet them calmly, with our own no regrets! Changgelie Wine can save life and death!"
Jiang Yan Hengdao immediately stood in front of the formation and roared with all his strength in his already hoarse voice, extremely sincere and extremely decisive. Now this young man with dark eyes firmly believed in every word he said. There was a voice in his heart telling him
With him, he must not die here!
Finally, the dejected red-armored warriors raised their sharp blades high again and responded to their Hehan in unison, the sound shaking the sky. They had seen with their own eyes those galloping wolves destroying their beloved grassland. But now,
They were finally ignited by the flames and put their personal life and death behind.
Everyone knows that if they cannot get rid of these galloping wolves now, there will be no place in the entire north, or even in the entire world, that will not become a river of blood. And even if they can always avoid it until the day when the wolves retreat, they will
Spending the rest of his life in endless regret and self-blame. This is the most unacceptable ending for every upright prairie man.
As soon as the horn sounded, the men and horses in red armor neighed and rushed out, colliding hard with the oncoming pack of wolves. The front formations of both sides were like two iron plates, one gray and one red, tightly connected.
A life-and-death fight began.
The ensuing battle had no beauty at all, only brutal blood and death. The knights relied on their speed advantage to gather the strength of three or five people to attack a wolf, and just then they defeated the thousands of ferocious beasts that rushed forward.
Beheaded on the spot.
The Red Flame Army also paid an extremely heavy price. Every time a giant wolf was chopped down, at least one rider would be knocked off the horse by the beast in the trap and torn into countless pieces of flesh and blood on the spot. The fallen warriors
He fell into an inch-deep pool of blood, desperately feeling the fangs in the wolf's mouth gnawing at his body, and then watched the damn beast being cut off from the head and neck and stabbed through the chest and abdomen by his comrades who rushed to the rescue.
More and more galloping wolves rushed forward, and soon the short-lived victory was completely dissipated. After the encirclement and suppression, the cavalrymen turned their horses and wanted to face the impenetrable herd head-on.
However, the speed of the galloping wolf was also very fast. Even before the knights re-arranged their formation, they saw the minions rushing towards them, heard the terrifying low roar from the beast's mouth, and even smelled it.
That represents the strong stench of death.
The splashing human blood and the smelly wolf blood were mixed together, like raw paint, dyeing the already fiery armor of the Red Flame Army brighter and brighter. And the stumps and severed arms that kept falling gradually became a layer of blood that lay across the sky.
The ground was an obstacle that prevented the cavalry from continuing to launch a large-scale charge.
Gradually, the originally neat front line began to become disorganized. The soldiers in front of the formation had no time to care too much. They just gathered together with their comrades who still had some strength around them and tried their best to fight against the waves of people coming in like a tide.
Under the attack of the wolf, he held on to his last position and held on to the last hope of survival.
At the same time, among the ruins of Yujing, the unique horn sound of the Muyun tribe suddenly sounded. The sound penetrated the many shouts of death and floated into the ears of the Red Flame Army and General Yan who were struggling to defend outside the city.
The anxiety and uneasiness on the face of the black-eyed boy finally faded away a little. Before more and more Chilangs came to kill him, he resolutely waved Xiao Tianmo and ordered the soldiers around him to retreat first:
"The city is well defended, retreat quickly!"
The Red Flame Army received the order and retreated from the gap in the city wall into the inner city in an orderly manner. The wolves were closely following them dozens of steps away. It seemed that if they slacked off even a little, they would be pounced on immediately.
Take human lives.
However, not long after the army entered the city, young He Han gave an order, and even the team responsible for breaking up the rear lit the torches they carried and threw them fiercely into the windows on the roofs on both sides of the road.
The torch penetrated the window lattice covered with tissue paper. The moment it fell, there was an extremely clear and loud sound in the house, followed by dazzling flames rising into the sky. The shock wave generated by the explosion even hit the blue bricks on both sides.
The walls of the house were also pushed down. The remaining bricks and tiles spurted out from the house along with the billowing flames, instantly engulfing the pack of wolves following behind the red-armored cavalry with claws and fangs.
The flames temporarily blocked the attack of the wolves, and also burned Jiang Yan's left arm and Wu Chen under his crotch. However, the young man did not seem to feel any pain, and instead turned his head and laughed.
Behind him, more than a hundred ferocious beasts were trapped in the dancing tongues of fire, letting out shrill and sharp wails before dying.
More wolves stood far behind the wall of fire, roaring and lingering with scarlet tongues sticking out, but they did not dare to rush in any more. When the flames gradually extinguished as the fuel was exhausted, the wolves began to move towards the fire again.
Most of the cavalry who had gone away launched a pursuit.
However, a series of explosions suddenly erupted in the city, gradually and completely frightening the courage of these behemoths, and the distance between the two sides was also further widened.
The fire that appeared in time was a trap that Jiang Yan had used to set up a trap in the city in advance by using the kerosene left by the defenders at the top of the city. He knew that with his cavalry, it would be difficult to withstand the wolf attack no matter what. Now inside the city
They were scattered vertically and horizontally along Shanhe Road and Riyue Street, and fire points of various sizes were set up at almost every intersection of the main roads. Several retreat routes had also been planned before.
The young Hehan knew very well that if they continued to struggle with the Chi Wolves on the plains, the Red Flame Army, which was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and combat power, would not only be unable to exert its power of high-speed charging, but would instead be defeated one by one, without any chance of winning.
It can be said that only by making use of the complex terrain and streets that are easy to defend and difficult to attack in the city can we make a step-by-step plan and kill the wolves to the greatest extent at the minimum cost.
But now, the road paved with blood and flames under the young man's feet is leading to the highest point in the city, and it is also the last position that the Red Flame Army plans to defend desperately - Yongyang Palace.
The continuously burning fire could be clearly seen miles away even in broad daylight. The red flames soaring into the sky reflected everything around them red, and turned the already riddled Yujing City into a
A sea of red gold.
However, the wolves seemed to be wise, and soon discovered that various fire points had to be temporarily lit by people. If they did not follow the Red Flame Army, there would be no more flames. They soon changed their strategy.
, the troops were actually divided into three groups to attack, intending to force Jiang Yan and his cavalry away from the preset route!
The black-eyed young man's heart immediately froze, and he immediately ordered the cavalry to pay attention to possible sneak attacks ahead. However, the Red Flame Army's front line was too long in the city, and the orders could not be effectively transmitted to the ears of the soldiers under his command. They kept coming and going.
Amidst the loud shouts, the army was like a long snake in a dilemma. The head of the snake continued to move forward along the original path, but the body of the snake slowed down and swayed from side to side, while the tail of the snake had already lost its direction and even stopped completely.
pace.
"The main force of the wolf pack is to the west!"
Suddenly someone in the military formation exclaimed. General Yan, who was leading the way, hit Wu Chen hard on his crotch. He turned around and saw the knight behind him being thrown to the ground by a pack of wolves coming out from the side. Everyone was shocked, and in the blink of an eye they turned into
The cold corpses in a pool of blood!
The young He Han suddenly felt a blank in his mind - even though he had planned carefully before, he still did not expect that Chilang, who was just a beast, would use such a fickle and well-coordinated strategy. The current situation was very difficult for him.
As a matter of fact, it is already stretched thin and there is no effective countermeasure.
Countless Red Flame soldiers fell down one after another in front of the young man. The frightened horses no longer listened to the instructions of the riders on their backs and fled in all directions. However, in the streets and alleys of Yujing, the chaotic horses could not effectively avoid the pursuit of the wolves.
Instead, they were tightly packed into each other, making it increasingly difficult to turn around.
Jiang Yan was also caught up in this seemingly unsolvable mess. Suddenly, a knight hit him hard behind him, and finally the young man came back to his senses. He immediately roared with all his strength amidst the noise.
He said, letting his voice be heard by the Red Flame Army who were fighting with a group of wolves around him:
"Retreat to Miyagi at full speed immediately! Fight to the death!"
But in the end, only a few hundred people were able to follow the order and ride their horses to keep up with the leader. In front of them, more than a thousand bloodthirsty beasts were killed - they were the group that had detoured from the east road and planned to chase and intercept them.
Galloping wolves. The herd of beasts advanced in the city much faster than the horses, and they killed the humans accurately and ruthlessly just as they were about to arrive at the palace gate!
Young He Han watched helplessly as a galloping wolf as big as a tiger opened his mouth and bit the head of a knight in front of him. He flicked it hard from left to right, tearing it into two pieces at the neck and shoulders.
The head, along with the broken heart, liver, spleen and lungs, were scattered all over the ground. The rest of the body swept over in the air and hit Jiang Yan's knife-holding right arm hard, knocking him off the horse.
The sudden imbalance also made Wu Chen unable to control his already messy pace. The horse staggered and fell heavily on its owner. In the bloody filth, the young man's vision was dyed scarlet. And the murderous horse
But the giant wolf didn't stop at all, and pounced directly on the young man who fell to the ground!
"Jiangyan, Jiangyan!"
Vaguely, the young He Han suddenly heard a voice that penetrated many obstacles and pierced into his ears. Time seemed to freeze at this moment. He no longer looked at the wolf head that was so close in front of him, because the blurred vision gradually faded.
A white jade-like lion horse appeared. The thin figure riding on the horse looked so familiar. The opponent jumped forward, and immediately knocked away the galloping wolf that rushed towards Jiang Yan, and then used the hard horse's hoofs to
It broke its back.
The person who came to rescue was actually Tuya, who had retreated south before! At this critical moment, she led the troops to fight back again!
