When they rushed into the gate of the government office, they were greeted by the guards of Youtun. They were more than a hundred dead soldiers wearing leather armor, holding swords, shields, spears, and forming a strict formation to block the door.
Seeing this situation, Cheng Wuting understood that there was no hope of being captured alive. He immediately ordered: "Rush in and capture the traitor Chang Sun Ming, Hou Mo Chen Sui, Chang Sun Han, no matter whether they live or die!"
They have obviously taken precautions. If they insist on catching the enemy alive at this time, it will make the soldiers afraid and dare not kill the enemy with all their strength, which is simply a disregard for Paoze's life.
The Youtun Guards are well-trained, and their reputation as the strongest army in the world is not in vain. After rushing into the door, they faced the resistance of these dead soldiers. They immediately formed a formation, with the shield hand in front and the spear hand behind.
, the rest of them took off the thunderbolts from their waists, blew fire sticks, and threw more than ten thunderbolts into the enemy formation.
"Boom boom boom"
There was a series of loud explosions, and the enemy's broken limbs and white snowflakes flew into the air in the heavy snow, and the enemy's orderly array collapsed instantly.
The power of Youtunwei's firearms is unstoppable.
Cheng Wu held up his helmet and held a horizontal sword, commanding his soldiers to continuously attack the dead soldiers in the government office. After a round of thunder, the musketeers stood in a row and raised their muskets to shoot at the defeated enemies. "Bang!"
"Bang, bang," amidst the dense sound like fried beans, streams of gunpowder smoke spurted out from the barrel, entangled with the flying white snow, forming a perfect contrast, and was blown away by the north wind in an instant.
The enemy collapsed instantly, leaving dozens of corpses and scattering in a rush.
No matter how brave a soldier is, it is impossible for him to be truly unafraid of death. Facing the power of firearms, he has no ability to resist. It is only natural that his morale will be shattered in an instant, and he will be completely defeated.
Cheng Wuting knew that since Changsun Ming and others were well prepared, no matter whether these people fled out of fear of crime or fought to the death, it was impossible to capture them alive, so he was not in a hurry to rush into the inner courtyard of the government office and command his soldiers.
Fighting steadily, advancing layer by layer, sometimes everyone gathered together to attack a certain courtyard gate, sometimes they spread out to kill the defeated enemies in units of "even", vowing to wipe out the entire government office.
The Duhu Mansion occupies a large area, and the courtyards are divided into five courtyards, with some crossing the courtyards on the left and right. The guards in the right camp are organized in an orderly manner, with their advance and retreat spaced apart. They advance into the courtyards one by one and clear the courtyards one by one.
There were hundreds of dead soldiers gathered by the Guanlong clan in the government office, but they could not withstand the sharp and steady attack of the Youtun guards. Whenever they tried to organize a counterattack, they would be beaten with their heads covered.
The firearm attack from the Youtun Guards collapsed and scattered in an instant.
The battle lasted for a full hour, and the outer courtyard was finally cleared. Cheng Wuting led his soldiers to arrive in front of the main hall.
In the heavy snow, the courtyard was full of snow and the main hall door was closed.
Cheng Wuting had two prisoners escorted over and ordered them to be loosened. He ordered: "You go in immediately and tell Changsun Ming and others that if they are captured without mercy, I will not treat them harshly and will only tie them to Chang'an for questioning. If you resist stubbornly, you will be punished."
There is only one way to die, so don’t blame me for being ruthless."
The two prisoners were obedient and hurriedly came forward to call the door.
When the dead man behind the door saw his comrade, he hesitated and opened the door.
Cheng Wuting stood outside the main hall, looked up at the gray sky and the dancing snowflakes, feeling worried.
He was already aware of the so-called "driving the tiger to devour the wolf" strategy. While he was stunned by Wei Ying's boldness, he was even more worried about whether Youtun Wei could maintain his morale and condition in such weather. He wanted to lure the Turks and Arabs in.
If Alagou is to be annihilated later, the entire army must be hidden in the mountains not far from Alagou.
How long can the soldiers last in the field in such weather?
If the enemy does not come for two days, this strategy will naturally be useless, otherwise all the soldiers of Youtun Guard will freeze to death in the barren mountains...
However, regardless of whether the Turks and Arabs will go to Alagou, they will definitely send scouts to investigate the situation in Alagou. Once the Youtun Guards cannot bear the severe cold and have to withdraw from the mountain, their whereabouts will definitely not escape the eyes of the enemy. The Turks
How could the Arabs give up such a good opportunity?
They all came in large numbers, and the people of Youtunwei were exhausted, their horses were exhausted, their morale was low, and it became increasingly difficult to resist...
Thinking of this, Cheng Wuting suddenly had an idea flash in his mind.
The most important thing about the whole "driving tigers and devouring wolves" plan, that is, the key to its success, is that the Turks and the Arabs do not belong to each other. Misunderstandings occurred due to the lack of information, which shows that the Turks entered the Alagou, and then the Arabs
arrived, and the order the Arabs received was to "annihilate the enemy." This enemy was not only the Youtun Guards, but also the Turks.
The two armies engage in a melee, and only then can the Youtun Guards have a chance to be completely annihilated.
But if Changsun Ming and others escaped from Jiaohe City and went to the Turks or Arabs, they found that someone had falsely conveyed the order, and then corrected it in time and took advantage of the situation to encircle Alagou between the two armies. Wouldn't it be that the Youtun Guards would be surrounded and unable to fly?
?
Thinking of this, Cheng Wuting's complexion changed drastically. He no longer took the time to take care of himself before, but he continued to attack steadily and urgently ordered: "Blow up the main entrance and attack in!"
If Changsun Ming and others take this opportunity to escape, Youtunwei will face a crisis.
"Here!"
The soldiers under his command were ordered to light a thunderbolt and throw it in front of the main entrance. With a loud "boom", the main entrance was blown to pieces and wood chips were flying. The soldiers protected themselves with shields to resist the oncoming attack.
The fired crossbow rushed into the main hall.
The dead soldiers in the main hall thought that the Youtun Guards were interested in negotiating, so they relaxed a little. When the main entrance was suddenly blown away, they thought of organizing a counterattack. They only hurriedly fired a round of crossbows, and were rushed by the Youtun Guards who rushed in.
Scattered and fell into close combat.
Almost every family of those powerful families has trained dead soldiers to perform some shameful tasks. However, the training of dead soldiers is extremely strict, but what they focus on is the art of stealth and assassination. When it comes to the confrontation between the two armies, they can fight head-on.
, how can it be a hardened opponent of the regular army?
The uses are different and the natural properties are very different.
It's just that the Right Guards charged so brazenly that it inevitably disrupted the formation. In the melee, the dead soldiers with better individual qualities took the advantage, so the Right Guards suffered heavy casualties.
With just one charge, all the dead soldiers entrenched in the main hall were killed. The right guard left corpses all over the ground and rushed into the back hall in groups of three to three.
After a stick of incense, the soldiers rushed out from the main hall, came to Cheng Wuting, and reported: "General Qi, the enemy in the main hall and the back hall have been wiped out. Hou Mo and Chen Sui have been captured. Changsun Ming
He and Changsun Han have disappeared."
Cheng Wuting's heart sank more and more. He walked into the main hall and said, "Bring Hou Mo and Chen Sui here!"
The soldiers cleaned up the corpses and blood stains on the ground, cleared a space, and found a chair for Cheng Wuting to rest for a while.
After a while, Hou Mo and Chen Sui were brought over.
Seeing the messy and disheveled Hou Mo and Chen Sui in front of him, he was no longer as calm and calm as when they met before. He was as embarrassed and miserable as a lost dog. Cheng Wuting had no sympathy in his heart. Instead, he was filled with anger. He raised his foot and kicked Hou Mo, who was being held by two soldiers.
There was a muffled "bang" in Mo Chen Sui's abdomen, and Hou Mo Chen Sui grunted. He was kicked off the ground and flew backwards two or three steps away. He knelt on the ground with a "pop" and gulped loudly.
Vomit.
After a long while, Hou Mo Chen Sui regained his composure, hunched over his body and barely raised his head, and said fiercely: "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. If you have the guts, just..."
Before he finished speaking the cruel words, a cold horizontal knife was placed on his neck. The coldness of the blade made Hou Mo and Chen Sui tremble. He couldn't finish his words in half.
Cheng Wuting held the handle of the knife in his hand, looked at Hou Mo and Chen Sui condescendingly, and said disdainfully: "Everyone can punish rebellious ministers and traitors! How dare you call yourself a 'scholar' when you collaborate with the enemy, treason, and murder the country?"
?Pooh!"
A mouthful of thick phlegm was spat on Hou Mo and Chen Sui's face.
If Hou Mo and Chen Sui hadn't already vomited on the front line, I'm afraid he would be so sick that he would vomit again now...
Cheng Wuting passed the knife in his hand forward, and the sharp blade cut the skin on Hou Mo Chen Sui's neck. A trace of blood appeared, and he said word by word: "I only ask once, if you don't answer or the answer can't be
If you satisfy me, I will give you a pleasure! Say, where are Changsun Ming and Changsun Han now?"
Hou Mo and Chen Sui were trembling all over.
He always thought that he was not afraid of death, and that death was just a matter of endurance. As long as it was over, there was nothing to fear. He had seen too many people who were not afraid of death, and he never thought that it was that great.
However, now that the steel knife is applied to his neck, he understands that the horror of death is enough to destroy a person's all confidence and pride.
Besides, he has never been proud...
"No, no, no, I say!"
Hou Mo and Chen Sui completely collapsed in the face of death and burst into tears.
"Half an hour ago, Changsun Ming had already left the city through the secret passage and rushed to the Arab camp to inform them to attack Youtun Guards immediately. As for Changsun Han's whereabouts, I don't know. He didn't know the entrance to the secret passage in the government office. It was probably you who stormed in.
