Chapter 87 Motivation

In Ruyin City, the soldiers guarding the city saw dust flying in the south and the enemy flags tilted east and west. It seemed that the elite troops attacked their side had defeated the enemy, so everyone showed joy and cheered.

Previously, when he learned that the enemy invaded Ruyin had a force of 100,000 and was the brave and war-hardened "one-legged bronze man", the Ruyin defenders couldn't help but feel worried, and they did not have the current morale.

The one-legged bronze man was in Xuanhu, not only resisting the fierce attack of more than 100,000 government troops, but also defeated the government troops in the end. The prime minister himself could not handle the one-legged bronze man. How could the mere Ruyin defender defend the city?

The enemy army claimed to be 100,000, but was defeated by 800 cavalry on its own. Such a refreshing victory was really exciting. Everyone was full of confidence in defending Ruyin City. Many people wanted to go out to help with the battle, but the general had already forbidden to do so in advance.

Eight hundred elite troops attack the enemy formation, and they will be successful, and there is no need for people to add fire; if they are defeated, no matter how many soldiers they go out, it will be useless.

Therefore, you only need to keep the South Gate Suspension Bridge flat and wait for the elite attackers to come back. Regardless of the victory or defeat, you can enter the city in time. If the pursuers follow very closely, you must not open the door.

In the dust flying in the wilderness to the south, a cavalry suddenly approached. When the defenders of Ruyin saw the elite attacking returned, they were waiting to open the city gate. As a result, they waited for the cavalry to approach and looked carefully, they found that the other party was not his own at all:

Before Li Chengshan attacked, he agreed with the left-behind general that if the person who came had no cloth strips wrapped around his neck, it would not be them.

Since it is an enemy, you must be prepared to defend. At the south gate of the city, many soldiers struggled to pull the ropes and lift the suspension bridge outside the city gate to prevent the enemy from directly attacking the city gate.

The Yingshui River is north of Ruyin, and the other three sides are land. There are trenches dug outside the city to divert river water as moats. If the enemy wants to enter the city, they must first pass the suspension bridge outside the gate.

Although the south gate is closed, it is always bad to let the enemy pass the suspension bridge to cross the trench, not to mention that in order to allow the returned elites to enter the city, the inside of the south gate is not blocked. Once the city gate is destroyed by the sky thunder, it can only be blocked by flesh and blood.

However, when the suspension bridge was only halfway up, the enemy cavalry had already rushed to the scene. They threw out their iron claws to pull the suspension bridge, then drove the horse backwards, and pulled the suspension bridge. Someone jumped off the horse, threw out the iron claws to hook the suspension bridge, and then climbed up the suspension bridge along the rope on the iron claws.

These soldiers were wearing heavy armor and ignored the arrows shot from the city. They wanted to use an axe to cut off the iron chains connected to both ends of the suspension bridge. The specific location was the connection between the iron chain and the suspension bridge.

At the same time, cavalry swung the thunder like a meteor hammer and threw it towards the city gate through the trench.

Amid the explosions one after another, the city gate was full of holes, and the iron chains at both ends of the suspension bridge were cut off. When the suspension bridge fell, the cavalry rushed across the bridge and rushed towards the city gate.

The soldiers in the city pushed the door-stop chariot and tried to block the door, but were blown away by the thunder of the sky thrown by the enemy cavalry. The defenders also threw the thunder of the sky to fight back, and the attack and defense then began hand-to-hand combat at the city gate.

The battle was soon concluded, and the cavalry of the attack city defeated the defenders who were hastily blocking the door with more than half of their casualties.

The subsequent cavalry shouted and rushed into the city. The defenders who were rushing towards the city gate on the street were knocked down by galloping horses. The hasty defense line quickly collapsed. Shocking sounds erupted in the city, and more and more cavalry rushed into the city.

The defenders at the city knew that the situation was hopeless, and some fled to the north of the city, trying to escape from the city before the enemy troops controlled Ruyin and escaped from the Yingshui River. Some people threw down their weapons and stood there silently waiting for surrender.

In the suburbs of the south of the city, the elite troops of Li Chengshan who were attacking were wiped out. In the Central Military Office, King Yuwen of Xiyang turned around and looked at the barbarians who were still fleeing. He pressed his temples and signaled Tian Liuhu, the leader of the "Yi Soldier", to approach:

"Go, take people to chase them and persuade them not to run away. If you run away, you will delay your evening meal."

"Uh...yes, the grass people take the order!"

Tian Liuhu replied that he still had no official position now, so he claimed to be a "grassman". The fleeing barbarians were too embarrassed to say that he and the righteous soldiers also came out of the Dabie Mountains.

It’s not that Yuwen Wen did not promote his own people, and the leaders of the slave capturing team such as Tian Liuhu did not want to be subject to too much restraint, so they have always used the form of “Yi Soldiers” to serve Yuwen Wen.

Seeing that the flags on the top of Ruyin City were changed, Yuwen Wen breathed a sigh of relief and said to Han Qinhu, the marching chief manager, aside: "Duke Xinyi, Duke Qinghe has already arrived in Ruyin. Next, it depends on Duke Xinyi."

"Marson, please rest assured. Han must make the Ying and Wo area upside down!"

Han Qinhu replied, he rushed to Huaixi thousands of miles away, met King Yuwen of Xiyang again, listened to his orders, and led the Lianghuai.

The opponent's methods were very impressive. He quickly went to Ruyin, Hezhou, and then gathered a group of mobs, and set up a formation to surround Ruyin, Yingzhou, and used his weak troops to attract the enemy's attack, and then defeated the enemy in one fell swoop.

The day he arrived in Ruyin, he took down the city. With such rapid progress, Han Qinhu admired Yuwen Wen very much and was full of confidence in his side's subsequent war.

In this battle, the division of labor was clear, and the barbarians were responsible for the "real performance". As a weak soldier, he attracted the elite troops of the Ruyin defenders to attack. Yang Su, who was re-appointed as Duke of Qinghe County, was responsible for counter-charge and quick capture of Ruyin.

If the enemy does not take the bait, then siege the city. Now that Ruyin has come down, it is Han Qinhu, the marching chief general, is responsible for leading his troops to harass various places, causing peace to the nearby prefectures and counties near the enemy.

Han Qinhu led his troops away. Yuwen Wen looked at the direction of the other party leaving, and his eyes did not move away. Zhang Dingfa, who was accompanying the guard, saw this and whispered: "King, that person should have no malice."

"Well, what do you think?"

"Master, I think this person has heard of the king's reputation. Now that he can see it with his own eyes, he will take a look at it from time to time."

Yuwen Wen looked at Zhang Dingfa when he heard this, smiled and tapped the other party a few times: "You, you're so stiff."

Zhang Ding laughed without saying a word, followed Yuwen Wen and rode forward, preparing to enter the city with the army.

Yuwen Wen is now appointed as the marshal of the Southeast Road by the emperor. His troops under him are the marshal of the Southeast Road. Yang Su, who has made great contributions in the rescue, was appointed as the marshal general manager by the emperor. Han Qinhu, the marshal general manager, led the troops to assist him, and all obeyed Yuwen Wen's orders.

Yuwen Wen appointed the marching general manager and below for the rest of the troops.

When Yuwen Wen met Han Qinhu who had traveled thousands of miles to Huaixi, he found that a young man was staring at him from time to time with his relatives.

In response to this, Yuwen Wen's first reaction was that this man was his enemy and was scrambling with Han Qinhu's personal follower to wait for an opportunity to assassinate, so he was thinking whether he should start first.

But after many observations, Yuwen Wen found that this young man, who was a few years younger than him, seemed to have no malice. Now that Zhang Dingfa also said so, it should be because he was thinking too much.

Yuwen Wen was riding a horse while thinking. He thought that this young man with a good appearance and good appearance might have another motivation for his behavior.
