Liu Hong was riding a white horse with bright coat and slender legs. It was obvious at first glance that it was a good horse. Behind him were three thousand horse thieves. After resting for a night, the horse thieves were in good spirits. These horse thieves were originally big men.
There is no shortage of county soldiers, disciplined battle formations and the like. They have been through life and death in recent years. They can be said to be a very powerful force. At least under the same circumstances, the Han soldiers should not be their opponents.
An arrow is not too close or too far away. You can clearly see what is going on at the top of the city without being hit by arrows. The top of the city is the same as yesterday, deserted and deserted. There is not even a flag today, and there is a lonely tower.
It stands tall, because it is small and simple, which further highlights the lowness of the city wall. It just rained last night, and there are several traces of running water on the city wall, which highlights the vulnerability of the city.
"There's no one there!" Mo Yu looked around and found no ambush.
Liu Hongdao: "How clever! I really didn't expect this move. Such a low city wall can't defend us at all, so he just gave up. There are many houses in the city. For the cavalry, they can't charge, and they only need to block the streets."
At both ends, we can block the front and rear, turning the cavalry into mere decorations! Not to mention..."
"Besides what?"
"Besides, Su Ren also has Heavenly Punishment. I have studied that thing myself over the years. Heavenly Punishment requires a closed environment to use, so it is more powerful in the city!"
Mo Yu frowned: "Then what should we do?"
Liu Hong did not answer Mo Yu's words. He smiled slightly and slowly raised his right arm. The horse thieves behind him roared, drew out their swords and girded their halberds. The dozens of horses in the front were covered in iron armor.
From head to toe, even the knights on horseback are like this. Each of them is holding a sledgehammer, and the three-inch-long spikes on the hammer head shine with cold light.
Liu Hong's arm suddenly went down, and the shouts of the horse thieves suddenly increased. The horse's hooves stepped heavily on the soft ground, throwing up a piece of mud as high as a person, and rushed towards Hami City like crazy. There was no formation, but who
There were no more than a few well-armed war horses. Until this time, there was still no one on the wall of Hami. They allowed these horse thieves to attack the city but did not go anywhere.
Seeing the huge hammer raised high, it hit the city wall hard, raising a cloud of dust. The hammer was powerful, and every time it hit it, it would leave a big hole in the sandy city wall. It didn't take long.
, the three thousand horse thieves had been covered up by the flying dust. In a short time, the entire Hami city was shrouded in dust, and nothing could be seen.
"Rumble..." The vulnerable city wall collapsed, and the horse thieves were left in disgrace. Some of them laughed in the dust and roared with claws and teeth. Mo Yu had a relaxed look on his face. In his opinion, the city wall was the most important thing in a city.
With good protection, once the city wall is captured, the city will be finished. Otherwise, why would the Han people build the city? The purpose is to defend against the elite cavalry from the north. This is the reason why Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall himself.
Liu Hong's frown deepened as the city wall was captured. Although he couldn't tell what was wrong, he always felt that there must be something wrong with it. Su Ren was not a mediocre person, on the contrary, he was considered a veteran. If the Battle of Lingnan was a
The battle in Mayi was a brutal battle, and Su Ren played a vital role in both battles.
Su Ren is not unaware of the importance of the city wall to the city, but Su Ren gave up the city wall. Does he really want to fight his three thousand horse thieves in the city? You know, the residences here in the Western Region are the same as their city walls.
The buildings of the Han people are not as strong and durable as the Han people. As long as they spare no effort, those guys in heavy armor can rush all the way from the east gate to the west gate of the city without turning around.
Huh...
A horse brayed, the sound was loud and powerful, and you knew it was definitely a BMW. Such a horse is born to be a king, and it is difficult for the herdsman to catch it, let alone become a cavalry mount. But Liu Hong and Mo Yu both
Recognizing the horse's voice, the two of them glanced at each other in unison.
Hawking was dressed in black armor, holding an Overlord Halberd in his hand, and a black war horse under his crotch. He was majestic and stood a hundred steps inside the collapsed city wall. One person and one rider were all in black. Coupled with the gloomy weather, the scene was a bit strange.
.If it weren’t for Hawking’s black face, anyone who looked at it would be reminded of Xiang Yu, the hero who fought in a bloody battle with Liu Bang’s thousands of troops at the Wujiang Ferry.
Black Wind felt the tense air, his head kept shaking, and he dug hard with his right front hoof, digging a small hole in just two clicks. The horse thieves were stunned for a moment, and then laughed, one person wanted to block the three
The Thousand Horse Thief is a joke. Even if King Xiang is resurrected, there is no such possibility. As long as they charge, they can trample the arrogant guy in front of them into a pulp.
The horse thieves moved, and their target was Hawking. The first ones to attack were the cavalry in heavy armor, who had not yet come out from the momentum of smashing the city just now. The horse thieves were so serious that they were like girls who had stripped off their clothes and were allowed to be ravaged by them.
.
"Drive!" The horse ran faster and faster. The distance of two hundred steps was very short, which was exactly the best distance for the horse to accelerate. He was about to rush in front of Hawking. The horse thief who rushed first only had to pick up the hammer in his hand.
It could hit Hawking, but he felt that the war horse was sinking, and he fell forward. The heavy armor prevented him from controlling his body, and the speed of the war horse also prevented him from changing direction.
The horse thieves behind kept pushing forward, and no one knew what was happening in front. The time was too short, and no one could react. When someone shouted that there was a trap, it was already too late. The horses could not stop and wanted to turn.
There are houses all around. Although you won't die if you hit it, it will still result in a bloody head.
"Fire the arrow!"
Hundreds of archers suddenly stood up on the roof. The big bows that were already fully drawn were released without even looking. The arrows flew straight towards the horse thieves. The sound of arrows piercing flesh came one after another. Some of them were nailed to the iron armor.
There was a tinkling sound, shouts and muffled hums, as well as the neighing of horses. The horse thieves finally reacted. Some wanted to change their route, and some wanted to escape. However, the narrow streets were too crowded and they wanted to turn around.
It's easier said than done. The alley to save life is right in front of you. A group of horse thieves got in regardless. Even if there is something more terrifying in it, it is much better than being trampled to death by one of your own people.
Jingjia held a big knife, and behind him was a neat team. He didn't have many people, but the alley was crowded. Seeing the horse thieves rushing over, Jingjia took a deep breath and raised the big knife high: "Children,
It’s our turn!”
The thorns took the lead and the big sword was swung away. No one in the alley could rush through with all their beards and tails. Even if there were a few fish that slipped through the net, they would be swarmed by the people behind.
The fork in the road to the west is much better than the bloody mess on the thorn side. Ying Guangji’s men don’t like killing people, at least they don’t like seeing blood. What’s more, Ying Guangji has been around for so long, so he learned how to kill from Ying Guangji.
Keep the bloodshed to a minimum. No one has a sword, and he shuttles through the crowd lightly. Wherever he passes, there are no broken arms, only complete corpses.
Most of the horse thieves are still outside the city, and the two-hundred-step-long streets cannot accommodate them. Su Ren only left these few roads for them, and the rest of the roads have been blocked. It is more difficult to rush through than the city wall.
.
Liu Hong let out a long breath: "That's it! Su Ren is really smart. He has divided the entire Hami City into several small pieces. As long as our cavalry enters, no matter which road they take, they will be blocked and killed. No matter how many people there are in the streets,
People are useless, only courage is the key at this time!"
"In this case, then withdraw and think of other ways. It will not be good for us if this continues. There are many people in Su Ren, and they are more brave!"
Liu Hong shook his head: "We can't retreat. Even if we retreat, we will pay a heavy price. We will no longer have the strength to launch a second wave of attacks!"
"That……"
Liu Hong pointed to the arrow tower on the palace of Hami City. It is the highest place in the entire Hami City. From there, you can overlook the entire Hami. If the weather is good, you will not be able to escape anyone's sight within a radius of thirty miles.
"Did you see that arrow tower? Su Ren should be on top of it!" Liu Hong glanced at Mo Yu.
Mo Yu nodded and rode towards the city wall of Hami. The fighting in the distance continued, and all kinds of screams and the neighing of war horses could be heard. War is like a meat grinder, and it can only stop if it is fed with human lives.
.Now this meat grinder has just started, will it stop for a while?
Su Ren put down his clairvoyance and said to Han Qing: "Get ready! There are too many of them, most of them are still outside the city. With just the few people led by Xiao Jinzi, Brother Jing, and Young Master Ying, they can't kill them all. Since
If Liu Hong dares to come, then he must keep all his horse thieves, and it is best to catch that guy!"
Han Qing nodded, waved his hand back, and a red flag was suddenly raised on the archery tower. The huge flag flew in the wind, making a crackling sound. Shi Bao, who had been waiting under the city wall, spotted the red flag at a glance, hehe.
With a smile, he blew the fire stick in his hand and gently poked it onto a bundle of velvet paper as thick as an arm beside him. The velvet paper, which emitted smoke and sizzled, burned quickly and divided into several strands under the wall.
, got to the other side of the earth wall and disappeared.
Mo Yu jumped up to the city wall. The place he chose was far away from the battlefield. There was no one around, and no one could be seen watching here. The palace's arrow tower was right in front of him, and the distance to the arrow tower from this side of the city was closest.
He packed up his clothes, looked at the roof of the house in front of him, put strength on his feet, spread his arms and flew over like an eagle.
Just as his feet stood still, before he could gather strength again, a dark figure appeared in front of Mo Yu. Laifu put his hands behind his back and stood on the other side of the eaves and looked at Mo Yu: "Brother Mo, you're here again!"
Mo Yu smoothly pulled out the sword from his back: "Brother Lai, you should know that you and I are our own masters. Let's stop talking nonsense at this time. I, Mo Yu, have no regrets if I can die by your sword!"
Laifu didn't move: "I'm not here to take your life, I just want to show you something. Brother Mo, please look, the red flag has been raised, so don't worry, just wait a moment!"
Mo Yu raised his head and glanced at the red flag on the top of the arrow tower, and asked Laifu: "What are you looking at?"
