Chapter 791 Conquest

Even in winter, it's unreasonable to be cold this night.

Furious and cold wind circling along the valley entrance, swaying the snow accumulated on the trees. This is the north wind, full of biting coldness.

Shi Yan pulled up his broken leather robe to cover his head, blocked his face, and dressed up as a hunter. Although on such a cold night, it was very strange that even the hunter walked in this canyon.

Just tonight, he encountered the strangest battle in his life.

He led three thousand Shatuo soldiers and horses to guard the Heishi Ling Heishi Fortress, which is known as the natural dangerous pass, but the final result was that he only guarded for half a night and lost the Feihu Shaanxi pass. Although the enemy troops who broke through this pass were Qin troops, which were known as the elite soldiers in the world, they only had five thousand troops.

In fact, the Qin army did not dispatch all the five thousand troops. They only dispatched about two battalions of troops, which totaled less than a thousand, but they captured the pass.

It was not the first time Shi Yan led a army, nor was he a rough man who had never seen the world. In fact, he followed Li Keyong to fight in the east and west, and finally fought from a small horse in front of a horse to the position of Duzhi Military Envoy, relying on his courage and his good command. However, this battle tonight completely overturned his previous understanding of battle.

The huge Kongming lantern released by the Qin army at the beginning was accompanied by sharp firearms to bomb the Beicheng. If that were the case, he would not have to escape at this time. The Qin army's most powerful killer move was to attack the east and west. When he mobilized the defenders to the Beicheng to defend to the death, a team of about three or five hundred people suddenly fell silently from the sky, crossed the deep ravine and city wall in front of the west gate, and directly descended into the Xicheng gate.

Until now, he still didn't understand how the Qin army flew into the city. When he fled from Black Stone Fort, he had seen the things in front of the city gate. They were some strange things, not large Kongming lanterns, but big dragonfly-like things made of wood, silk and bamboo poles. According to the soldiers surviving the East Gate, the Qin army flew over from the hillside opposite the west city like dragonflies.

They really flew over, and they didn't use lights, so they didn't find it until they rode the magical wooden dragonfly over the west city wall. But these people were moving too fast. After hundreds of people flew into the city, they seized the Xicheng Gate with thunder, put down the suspension bridge, and put more Qin troops into the city.

The natural danger of Black Stone Fort was also lost.

Three thousand defenders, when the Qin army entered the city, most of the defenders were concentrated in the northern city without a gate, and they were blocked by the Qin army in turn.

In the end, less than a thousand people who escaped from the castle were chased and killed all the way. In the end, they dispersed and had no command at all.

It’s not that easy for the Qin army to kill me.

Shi Yan thought resentfully. His hand gently rubbed downwards over the hilt of the sword that was half hidden under the worn leather robe.

Although when the Qin army attacked the city, they shouted that they would not blame them for surrendering as long as they abandoned their weapons, Shi Yan had no intention of surrendering at all.

He was once the personal guard of the King of Jin, and later joined the Black Crow Army and Yier Army one after another. Speaking of which, he was also Li Keyong's adopted son, although his adopted sons like him were incomparable to those of Li Siyuan and others.

The Qin army captured the Black Stone Fort in just one night, and their next target must be Feihu City. If Feihu City is not prepared, it will inevitably be lost. Once Feihu City is lost, the consequences will be serious. The Qin army seized Feihu City and went west to take Lingqiu City and cut off the passage between Zhigu Pass and Yanmen, so that the general and his wife would be trapped.

If you take Feihu City to the east, as long as you capture Zijing Pass, Boyin Pass will be blocked, and the subsequent Hebei reinforcements will not be able to enter Hedong.

He must rush to Feihu City and immediately tell them the news of the fall of Black Stone Fort.

But after seeing the strange attack method of the Qin army tonight, he didn't have much confidence in Feihu City.

When King Li Jing of Qin entered Zhigu Pass, he rode a golden tall horse with a golden head, which was more than five feet tall, and was full of purebred sweat-blooded horses from the Western Regions. He was so arrogant that he was wearing golden glaze blue dragon-style golden armor. The armor was carefully wiped and shining. It was paired with the four-clawed golden dragon on the helmet, the golden unicorn swallowing shoulders on both shoulders, the lion belt on the waist, especially the golden dragon carved on the armor, which made Li Jing more and more powerful.

The team entering the city entered from the north gate of Zhiguangu. The north gate of Zhiguanguan opened wide. Gao Siji and other generals led their troops to go out far away to greet him. Nearly half of the more than 10,000 people left behind in Zhiguan were annihilated, and the rest finally surrendered with Li Kening. At this time, Li Kening and the captive officers also stood on the side to greet him.

Behind Li Jing were one hundred and eight personal guards, with red pennant flags flying on their spears. Behind these hundred and eight personal guards were the senior civil and military officials of the Qin vassal who had gone to war with the army last time.

The strong wind swept, the flags were crackling, and countless flags rolled together, and the flags were like the sea.

Walking behind the generals were the surrendered generals such as Jing Shisanniang and Shatuo surrendered. Liu Yunniang refused to surrender and was arranged by Li Jing to sit in a carriage and take care of her. At present, this surrendered army of 15,000 people is temporarily led by Jing Shisanniang. However, in fact, they have all been confiscated and their weapons have been spread and disrupted, and the Qin army is under the supervision of them.

Jing Shisanniang rode on the horse and looked back at the carriage Liu was riding in front of her, feeling all kinds of feelings. She knew that Liu was unwilling to surrender, but she had no choice. She was determined in her heart that surrender was the most suitable decision.

However, Liu was not willing to forgive her. When she rode a horse to Liu's carriage, Liu did not give her a bad temper. "Thirteenth Lady!" Liu, who was sitting in the carriage, had already taken off her armor and wore a simple dress. "Does the King of Qin ask you to come and take care of me?"

"I didn't come after Li Jing's order."

Behind them, the Qin army's military band had already started to play trumpets and drums. The rhythm was slow, but neat, full of excitement and joy. "Madam, things have not yet reached the worst, and it is not worth it. If you leave the green mountains, you will eventually have a chance to make a comeback."

"Surrendering without fighting is a manifestation of a coward, especially the King of Jin needs our support at the moment. If King of Jin and other Shatu soldiers knew that even King of Jin surrendered Li Jing without fighting, how much damage do you think this will cause to the morale of the army?"

"But if we do not surrender, the entire army will inevitably be wiped out in the end. This lady knows. Could it be better if the King of Jin and his soldiers heard the news of their wife's death?"

"The King of Jin is coming here, and you will be here as soon as today." Liu's family was extremely haggard and weak. "Thirteenth Lady. Do you think Li Jing has really taken over the Black Stone Fort and Feihu City?"

"Maybe!"

If this is true, it would be terrible.

The King of Jin still didn't know what was happening here, and didn't know that there had been a net of heaven and earth here, but he was still rushing towards him.

"I don't know what's going on in Yanmen."

"The King of Jin has sent General Li Siyuan to Yanmen. Things may not be so bad." Jing Shisanniang comforted him.

"The King of Jin went to Hebei and handed over Yanmen to me to stay. I failed the King of Jin!" Liu sighed.

Jing Shisanniang wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say.

"What should Li Jing do to us?"

Looking at Liu, she was worried.

Yanmen Town suffered a big loss this time, and one foot had already stepped into the gate of hell. Liu, Li Kexiu, and Li Kening were defeated one after another. Now Li Keyong has stepped into the gate of hell. The remaining Yanmen is still unknown. If Li Keyong is defeated again, or Yanmen is lost, then Shatuo will be doomed this time and will never turn over.

Li Jing has already taken down the Zhengu Pass. The remaining half of Weizhou is now lying in front of him like a prostitute who has taken off his clothes.

Gongsun Lan walked in with a smile on her face in the head of Zhiguguan Town.

"Seeing that you are so happy, there must be good news to tell me." Li Jing put down the list of surrendered soldiers in his hand and looked up to her.

“There is good news!”

The news brought by Gongsun Lan even exceeded Li Jing's expectations.

"Li Wei has lived up to the expectations of Sanlang. They only took half a night to capture the Black Stone Fort last night, and then took advantage of the victory to advance, and arrived at Feihu City this morning and took him down. Now, Li Wei's troops are divided into two groups, attacking Zijing Pass all the way east and attacking Lingqiu City all the way west."

This was indeed beyond Li Jing's expectations. When Li Jing gave Li Wei the mission, he never thought that they could really complete it. In his opinion, the best result was that Li Wei won the Black Stone Castle or seized the Flying Fox City. But he didn't expect that he had captured the Flying Fox City and the Black Stone Castle so quickly.

"How did this kid do it?"

"He used our Air Force, the Big Pin Hot Air Balloon Squadron, and the Black Bat Paraglider Squadron. The two squadrons succeeded in their first actual combat. They completely caught the enemy off guard. I didn't expect that these two air forces in the experiment would really have such a prominent role in actual combat."

Li Jing chuckled happily. The two air troops with only 600 people served them more than a thousand people. Moreover, the funds invested in the front and rear were as high as two million chunks. After spending so much money, they finally failed to waste their lives.

Gongsun Lan finally couldn't help asking: "Sanlang has captured Li Keyong's wife now, what to do with her? You seem to admire this woman very much. Do you want to put her into your backyard?"

"I really admire Liu. This is a very amazing woman, with knowledge and courage, and is different from most women."

"She is also Li Keyong's wife, and she also has an irreplaceable position in the hearts of Shatu soldiers, and even has high prestige in the hearts of the people of Yanmen Town." Gongsun Lan reminded: "If you want to include her in the account, it will probably make many Shaotu people dissatisfied."

"You are right, Liu is not an ordinary woman." Li Jing stood up and poured two glasses of red wine, and brought one to Gongsun Lan. "Liu is an amazing woman and also a very useful bargaining chip. However, I did not have the idea of ​​including her in the account."

"Why? Don't you admire her very much?"

"Appreciation does not necessarily require storage. Besides, for a woman like Liu, do you think she will just throw herself into other people's arms? The melon that is forced to twist is not sweet, and I don't have the interest to force my wife. If Liu was not very useful, I would have intentionally let her go."

"When we kill Li Keyong immediately, she will be a little widow. Maybe you will have the chance to conquer her at that time." Gongsun Lan smiled.
