Chapter 9 The Fall of Longxi City

Wang Junlin never lacked decisiveness and courage. He shot three arrows in succession, killing three people, and rushed into the crowd. After a bloody battle, Wang Junlin killed seven Qiang soldiers and finally rushed out, but one of his horse's legs was killed.

After slashing him and carrying him for more than a hundred meters, the war horse whined and fell to the ground.

Wang Junlin flew down before his horse fell to the ground. He rolled on the ground just to avoid a hail of arrows. Without saying a word, he got up and rushed into the dense forest nearby. More than 20 Qiang soldiers followed closely and chased in.

.

One of the leading Qiang soldiers was so fast that he could walk on flat ground in the mountains and forests. The distance between him and Wang Junlin kept getting closer. However, Wang Junlin suddenly turned around and shot an arrow while running. The Qiang man hurriedly dodged.

But Wang Junlin had already calculated the lead time, so the Qiang soldiers screamed and fell to the ground. The Qiang soldiers behind were startled and their speed instinctively slowed down a bit.

Digging into the bushes in front, Wang Junlin suddenly disappeared. When these Qiang soldiers saw this, they were wary and slowed down. But at this moment, Wang Junlin suddenly appeared from behind a big tree, and with a whoosh, one of the top soldiers

The Qiang soldier in front was shot to death again.

Naturally, the Qiang people would not chase them without shooting, but Wang Junlin could always avoid them at critical moments.

Jungle warfare is Wang Junlin's strength. Wang Junlin even has the title of King of the Jungle in the mercenary world of later generations. Therefore, once he enters the mountains and forests, he is like a fish in water, changing from a prey to a hunter. He is a hunter.

, the Qiang warriors who chased him naturally became prey.

The deeper you go into the forest, the more luxuriant the trees become. Wang Junlin deliberately led the twenty or so Qiang warriors deep into the forest and then disappeared. The twenty or so Qiang warriors spread out to search for Wang Junlin.

They would never have thought that after entering this mountain forest, the Sui army soldier they were chasing had become so terrifying...

A Qiang warrior who was at the back was trudging between the trees, cursing in Qiang dialect. When he passed an old tree, without any warning, there was a sudden explosion from behind the tree.

He stretched out a palm and covered his jaw and mouth. Before he could struggle, the sharp knife had already cut his throat.

Wang Junlin gently and silently dragged the body behind a tree and hid it, his expression remained calm and indifferent throughout the process.

A Qiang warrior disappeared silently in the mountains and forests. When the Qiang warriors who were still alive became alert, they were unable to stop the pace of death.

As a later generation special soldier, a mercenary who has been involved in various dangerous missions around the world, he is actually best at lurking, sneak attacks, assassinations, and spying. Wang Junlin is especially good at lurking and assassinating. These two skills make him the incarnation of

It has become an elusive ghost, constantly creating fear with blood.

These Qiang warriors have strength and bravery, but when they can't even see the enemy's shadow, the sharp bows, arrows and machetes in their hands become completely useless. The most important thing is that they have lost the possibility of escaping -

-They went too deep into the woods.

In the end, only five Qiang warriors were left. They gathered together with fear on their faces, shouting the names of their companions in vain, and cursing the despicable enemy.

This weird way of fighting caused their courage to completely disappear, leaving only fear and despair. Their survival instinct made them flee desperately down the mountain.

Suddenly, a figure burst out from the bushes nearby, and the figures intertwined. One of them covered his throat and fell to the ground.

The other four people turned around when they heard the sound, and all they saw was their dying companion with his throat slit and his hands and feet twitching unconsciously. The four people's frightened and ferocious eyes were wandering around, but they could no longer find any trace of the enemy.

One of the pale guys seemed to have been choked by a demon. His sanity finally collapsed. He suddenly shouted frantically, turned around and ran away. But before he could take two steps, a sound broke through the air, and there were many wounds on his neck.

A feather arrow shot forward.

Because of this feather arrow, the other three people finally found Wang Junlin. They shouted and rushed forward with their swords in hand. This time, Wang Junlin did not leave and lurked, but also came forward with a cold look and swords in hand.

The reason why he had to play lurking, ambush, and assassinate just now was not because Wang Junlin liked it, but because there were many people on the other side. He was facing a killing, and he was not completely sure that he would not be injured. Now there were only three people left, just in time to practice swordsmanship.

Ten breaths later, the last three Qiang warriors died, while Wang Junlin remained intact.

However, this jungle chase lasted for two or three hours, and his physical strength was exhausted.

The Ge Dao tribe of the Qiang people was in the nearby mountains, and a large group of pursuers might appear at any time. Wang Junlin did not dare to stay in the mountains for too long. After a short rest, he ran towards Longxi City at full speed. In his opinion, the safest place was

The seat of Longxi County.

However, when he climbed over the last hill and looked forward, he was shocked, his face changed drastically, and he quickly crawled to the ground and hid himself in the grass.

This place is less than five miles away from Longxi City, and on the official road leading to Longxi City at the foot of the mountain, a convoy almost identical to the one he was in before appeared. To be precise, the civil servants were still the same forty-two civil servants, but

The soldiers escorting the army supplies were no longer Liu Gang and his party.

Seventeen soldiers, wearing Liu Gang's military uniforms and armor, carrying their weapons, and holding relevant documents carried by Liu Gang. What chilled Wang Junlin the most was that the seventeen people pretending to be Liu Gang and his party were not Qiang people, nor were they

Tuyuhun or Turks, but pure Han people. Obviously these were seventeen traitors. What Wang Junlin didn't know was that these seventeen people were seventeen Han followers of Nestorianism in Yongzhou, and of course they were also seventeen dead soldiers.

Just two miles behind this convoy, there were a thousand Qiang cavalry following carefully, and behind them were six to seven thousand Qiang soldiers without horses.

"It's getting dark at this time. They want to take advantage of the poor visibility at night to open the gate of Longxi City? But there are five thousand defenders in Longxi City, with excellent armor and weapons, and they have a good advantage. I heard Liu Gang said that the prefect and generals of Longxi are both

Even if a powerful person pretends to open the city gate, since the Qiang people do not have outstanding fighting power, how can they get a good deal and occupy Longxi City?" Wang Junlin was a little confused.

But what Wang Junlin didn't know was that on the other side of Longxi City, that is, to the north, there was another cavalry of a thousand people escorting Dugu Moyu, the general manager of Yongzhou, towards Longxi City. Among this cavalry, only the one at the front was

Two hundred people were Han Chinese and the rest were Turks. Behind these one thousand people, another two thousand Turkic cavalry quietly followed two miles away.





In the eleventh year of Dading, on the tenth day of August, the Qiang Ge Dao tribe pretended to be a Sui army grain transport team and falsely opened the gate of southwestern Longnan. At the same time, at the north gate, Turkic cavalry pretended to be the personal soldiers of Dugu Moyu, the general manager of Yongzhou, and used Dugu Moyu to

He had a sudden illness and needed to return for treatment, and Zhang Chengju, the guard at the head of Longxi City, saw with his own eyes a soldier helping Dugu Moyu out of the carriage, so he opened the city gate and easily let the Turkic cavalry enter the city.

Wang Junlin stood on the top of a hill five miles away from Longxi City, looking at the fire that suddenly broke out near the north and south gates of Longxi City. There were faint sounds of killing coming down the wind. The fierce fighting in the city lasted for half the night before gradually calming down. He saw with his own eyes six

More than a thousand Qiang infantry entered the city. He knew that Longxi City had fallen into enemy hands.

At the same time, Yu Juluo, the governor of the Sui Dynasty, commanded 100,000 troops and the vanguard had already reached Tianshui County.

Wang Junlin did not leave Longxi immediately. After thinking deeply, he believed that this was an opportunity for him to change his destiny. He believed that no one knew the process of the fall of Longxi City first than him. Of course, some information needed to be further explored.

Lurking near Longxi City, Wang Junlin managed to capture two Getao tribe scouts and a Turkic scout in a day. The torture methods of later generations were simply not something that these three foreign scouts could withstand, and Wang Junlin easily

From their mouths, we learned the whole story of the fall of Longxi City.

Then, Wang Junlin rode the war horse he had snatched from the Turkic scouts and headed south to Tianshui County.





Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the emperors and ministers of the Sui Dynasty had planned to incorporate the Hexi Corridor into their territory, open up the Western Regions, and restore the glorious territory of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, they had no idea how to attack the Tuyuhun people who occupied Wuwei, Zhangye, and Xiping counties, and then how to counterattack the Western Turks.

It was inevitable to send troops to intervene, and to seize the opportunity to take back Dunhuang County, etc. A series of plans and plans were studied, discussed and prepared by the imperial court, three provinces and six departments, and by the governors, governors, prefects and chariots and governors of the northwest states.

This matter, such as the smooth official road from Daxing City in Kyoto to Jincheng County, the grain, grass and military supplies stored in the prefectures, prefectures, counties, and forts along the way, etc.

Therefore, when Tuyuhun's army invaded Jincheng County, the troops from other counties in Yongzhou rushed to the front line as soon as possible according to the plan, and the imperial court could dispatch a hundred thousand troops so quickly.

Of course, when the emperors and ministers of the Great Sui Dynasty plotted against Tuyuhun and the Western Turks, the other party was also not idle. Compared with the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty, the lives of the Tuyuhun and the Western Turks were much poorer. Therefore, the Tuyuhun and the Western Turks were very interested in seizing the Sui Dynasty.

The desire to move toward Yongzhou was far stronger than the plans of the Sui Dynasty emperors and ministers to plan the Hexi Corridor.

Originally, there were deep conflicts within the Western Turks and between the Western Turks and the Tuyuhun people. In addition, the Sui Dynasty secretly sent people to cause trouble, and the internal disputes in the Western Turks never stopped, and the wars with the Tuyuhun people also continued.

It comes every few months. Under such circumstances, how can we still have the ability to send troops to the Sui Dynasty?

But this situation gradually changed until three years ago, when a mysterious sect called Nestorianism began to spread rapidly in the Western Regions and even the entire northwest. The result of this change was that the Western Turks, Tuyuhun and Qiang people

They secretly joined forces and took the initiative to plot Yongzhou.

Judging from the current situation, under the secret control and guidance of this mysterious sect, the plan of the three tribes is proceeding smoothly. For the Sui Dynasty, Longxi County fell into the hands of the enemy. Due to the cutoff of retreat, food and grass, and low morale, Jincheng County

Precarious.
