Chapter 365 Alternate attack and defense, sword pointed at Chang'an (Part 2)(1/2)
This is a good time for the transition between spring and summer.
The mountain forests are dotted with green grass and red flowers, and hares and pheasants can be seen from time to time in the dense bushes.
Le Jin led his men and horses to hide among these bushes, waiting for prey to take the bait.
When the Yongji County Magistrate appeared within sight with three hundred cavalry, the smile on Le Jin's face gradually faded away.
Although he was mentally prepared, when he saw the county magistrate who was injured by an arrow, Le Jin still felt guilty for no reason.
If it weren't for cooperating with their actions, these militiamen with little combat experience would not be in such a mess.
At this time, the sky gradually darkened.
After the county magistrate led the team through the valley, about ten seconds later, another cavalry team of nearly a thousand people also chased after them.
The leader was none other than Guo Bang, who had a murderous look on his face, and the previous leader of the 'horse thief'.
The leader of the 'Horse Thief' inadvertently glanced past the bushes and met Le Jin, who was wearing camouflage uniforms.
"Hahaha, there is a small river in front of them. They have no way to escape." Guo Bang took out an arrow and aimed forward.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
Guo Bang was about to bend his bow and arrow to shoot at the Yongji City militiamen in front of him, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist.
Someone behind him saw this and shouted: "General, be careful!"
Unfortunately, it was too late. As he shouted out, the 'horse thieves' hiding beside them sent their weapons into their waists and abdomens, killing them with one blow without any defense.
"kill!"
Le Jin was the first to rush out of the bushes, heading towards the nearest pursuer with the spear in his hand. The tip of the spear entered through his left eye, shattering his brain instantly and bringing out a handful of red and white blood pillars.
"ah!"
Although Guo Bang was stabbed in the waist, he reacted quickly, pushed the leader of the 'horse thief' away, and shouted angrily: "You dare to lie to me, you, are you from the Wei family?"
The leader of the 'Horse Thief' chuckled, wiped his bald head, and removed his turban, revealing his clean skull. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that he had just shaved his hair. The whiteness on the top of his head was in sharp contrast with the darkness on his face.
.
"Brother Guo, don't say that. I was once a thief, but I'm a water bandit, so I'm not in the same league as you, hehe."
This man used to be Hua Cuan's subordinate, but later he also joined the City Guards, and is now the captain of the City Guards.
Hearing this, Guo Bang roared angrily and pulled out the sword from his waist to fight back, "You bastard, I will kill you!"
The smile on the man's face faded, his thick eyebrows furrowed, and he easily avoided Guo Bang's killing move. Then he pulled out the two nine-ring knives from behind and sneered: "Just you? You're not even worthy of carrying my shoes.
Take your life!"
The two started fighting fiercely, and an area immediately vacated around them.
It's not that Guo Si's men didn't come to support, it's that they couldn't protect themselves.
Several of Guo Si's best generals were assassinated by "horse thieves". They did not have Guo Si's physique. After being stabbed in the waist, they had lost the ability to move and were close to death.
The remaining pursuers ran into an ambush led by Le Jin, together with more than a hundred people who had previously disguised themselves as "horse thieves". At this time, nearly a thousand pursuers were killed.
Without Lei Zhenzi, the three hundred city guards could be invincible just by relying on their upgraded anti-stab suits.
In addition, this valley has only two entrances and exits, the rear entrance is blocked by Le Jin and his men, there is a small river in front, and there are 300 Yongji City militia teams, Guo Si and others are doomed.
It only lasts about a stick of incense.
Three hundred city guardsmen destroyed a thousand pursuers, with an average of three and three kills per person.
Of course, the data is not calculated in this way. For example, Le Jin killed more than ten people by himself, and the leader of the "horse thief" who faced Guo Si only just cut off Guo Si's head with a knife.
Le Jin came over, looked at the heads on the ground, and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, I count you a third-class meritorious service."
The man laughed, this achievement was no different from picking it up.
Lifting Guo Si's head, Le Jin turned around and said, "Come on, salt it with lime and send it to Luoyang immediately."
"yes."
Two tall and thin men came out, lifted Guo Bang's head and left.
Le Jin looked at the corpses on the ground and said to the Yongji County Magistrate: "Thank you so much for Brother Zhao's help this time. Don't worry, I will truthfully report to the envoy later and ask for credit for Brother Zhao and all the heroes."
The county magistrate and others looked at each other and smiled. Although they were all stained and several militiamen were shot and killed, it was all worth it, especially when they saw with their own eyes that the city guards annihilated three times their number of pursuers.
Soldiers also gave them a lot of peace of mind.
At the very least, the safety of family members in the city is guaranteed.
After chatting with the county magistrate and his party, Le Jin asked them to go back to Yongji City to recover from their injuries.
And he immediately led the city guards to deal with the 19,000 troops left by Guo Si.
···
The horses' hooves roared incessantly.
The night is getting thick here, and the endless wilderness on the grassland is completely covered by a layer of black mist and smoke.
There was a faint fishy smell in the air. It was the smell produced by burning fat and the sulfur dioxide caused by burning hair. The smell was unpleasant.
Boom~
There was another huge explosion, and then we saw a dozen fast horses rushing out of the thick fog, stepping on the black and smelly corpses and galloping away.
"Run away, run away quickly, the gods are angry, we shouldn't have come, we must have angered the gods, this is heaven's punishment!"
"Stop, stop all of you, you stupid guys, that's not a punishment from God, it's..."
Boom!
The Lei Zhenzi that fell from the sky exploded directly next to the general who spoke, instantly taking away the lives of seven or eight more people.
After pushing away the thick fog, the fire was extremely fierce, and the lit tents continued to disappear. From time to time, people ran out of the tents. Before they could even put on their clothes, they saw the desperate scene in front of them.
"What happened before and why did it happen?"
Yu Fuluo, the Shanyu of the Southern Huns, was a helpless and honest man. He followed Liu Yu in his early years to conquer the Xianbei people. Later, due to civil strife in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was devastated and his family was destroyed. He had no choice but to lead his tribe to plunder in Bingzhou to provide food and clothing.
For the Han Dynasty, his loyalty from the beginning has turned into hatred now.
The reason why we went south this time with the right Xiongnu and the Qiangqu Chanyu Xubugu was that on the one hand we learned that the civil strife in the Han Dynasty was still going on, and on the other hand we wanted to carve out a habitat for our people.
However, they had just arrived at the Shuofang border and had not yet launched an offensive against the Han people. An accident occurred that night.
Looking at the raging camp in front of him, Humphrey pulled someone over angrily and asked, "Tell me, what happened, why was it on fire, and what was the sound?"
The camp where Yuvro was located was relatively far away from the former army camp. At a distance of four or five miles, he could only see the light of fire and hear the sound of explosions.
The man who was pulled was also confused. He didn't know what happened. He only knew that the former army camp seemed to be attacked by some witchcraft. Fires kept lighting up the tent. According to the people who ran back, in just a short time,
Thousands of people have been killed and injured.
"Check, everyone calm down and find out what happened. It must be the Han people who are doing something secretly. Don't mess up your position. We have an army of 400,000. What does it matter if a few thousand people die?"
As soon as Yuvrou finished speaking, another series of explosions sounded.
But this time, he could clearly feel the tremor of the earth, which frightened him so much that he couldn't help but turn his head and look.
Boom, boom~
Just a few dozen meters away from him, several tents were blown away by the fire. After a series of explosions, looking up, there was a mess and crying sounds. People with broken legs or serious injuries kept shouting for help.
.
When the man held by Humphrey saw this, he was so frightened that he ran directly towards the rear camp.
Between loyalty and death, normal people will choose the latter, not to mention facing this unknown fear of not knowing when they will become the next person to be killed.
Humphrey was stunned.
There was a voice in his head that kept shouting that this must be the work of the Han people.
But the real thought is, is it my ambition that angers the gods?
He couldn't help but look up at the dark night sky. The moon and stars were blocked by dark clouds tonight. A strong sense of depression grew in his heart. Wails and pain kept coming from his ears, accompanied by bursts of roaring from time to time.
.
Humphrey took a few steps back unconsciously. At this time, he already regretted it.
Facing the fear of the unknown, even as a chanyu, Hufro could not muster the courage to face it.
However, everything tonight was just a small appetizer given to him by Xu Huang and others.
In the early morning, it was the perfect time for the Longshan Army to truly launch a general offensive.
After a night of torture, the Huns, who were on the verge of mental and physical collapse, were about to face a group of invulnerable and invincible executioners.
Please forgive me for using executioners to describe the Longshan Army and the City Guards who represent justice, because this must be a one-sided killing game with no suspense.
···
Hedong County, Anyi City.
Because Dong Zhuo's army was passing through the border, several small riots broke out in the city.
