Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 249
There was a gentle smile on Huyanjilu's face, it's all right now, we are saved, and Modun Shanyu has come to support us.

But after slowly approaching, another news was learned from the air of the Qin army: this army was [-] cavalry led by Qiang Li.

As soon as they heard that the Qin army was coming for reinforcements, Huyan Jilu's personal guards were completely flustered, and their legs trembled uncontrollably with fright, and they had no fighting spirit to fight at all.

But Huyanjilu looked solemn, and said loudly to everyone: "Don't panic! We are soldiers, and dying on the battlefield is our destiny and our glory, and our family will be proud of us!"

Obviously, he was ready to die. Although he was defeated on the battlefield last time, the fighting spirit in his heart was still not defeated.

Since the Qin army is going to kill them all, then we will die, and the net will be broken, and it will be a big deal to exchange one for another!
But the injury on Huyanjilu's chest gradually became serious. He only felt tightness in his chest, and the chaos in front of his eyes made him collapse on the ground.

The guards on the left and right were dumbfounded, with frightened expressions on their faces, they went over to help Huyanjilu get up with both hands, and exclaimed: "Gu Duhou, are you okay!"

Although they said so on the lips, they wished him to die in their hearts so that they could surrender to the Qin army.

But Huyan Jilu still dragged his stiff body, got up slowly, and said with cold eyes: "I will never fall if I don't fight to the last moment!"

Huyanjilu actually retaliated with a strong will, and stood straight on the ground without retreating. When the Qin army was slowly approaching, he killed the Qin army with ferocity and beheaded three heads.

Huyanjilu smiled slightly, and the Xiongnu soldiers seemed to be encouraged, and even stood up straight, standing behind Huyanjilu to protect his left and right arms.

Seeing that Huyan Jilu was seriously injured, Qin Jun was still strong against the Qin army, and did not dare to go forward. Li You saw Huyan Jilu's bravery, and couldn't help sighing: "Although Huyan Jilu is old, he can still fight against the Qin army." Fighting against the Qin army, he is worthy of being a general, and he has the demeanor of General Wang Jian in him."

The general who was beside him immediately retorted: "General, Huyanjilu is nothing more than a hunk of the Huns, and at the last moment of his life, he broke out his tenacious will, and he just couldn't bear to die!"

"As far as his ability is concerned, how can he be comparable to General Wang Jian? I heard that he came to attack Touman City a few days ago and led the soldiers to attack the fortifications. He was expelled by General Zhang Han and General Li Xin!"

"Sir, isn't it a bit serious when you say this?"

Li You looked at him sideways, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, the captain turned sideways in fright, Li You ignored the captain, but picked up the bows and arrows of the soldiers around him.

Bend the bow!

Take an arrow!

The arrow is like a shooting star, piercing the sky like a crescent moon.

With the tung oil lacquer on the upper arrow cluster, it was bright yellow, and the arrow hit Huyan Jilu's abdomen.

This sudden force knocked Huyanjilu down to the ground, screaming hysterically, the blood in his chest flowed slowly and continuously like a rushing river, his eyes went dark, and he couldn't stand up anymore.

The generals around Li You couldn't help but exclaimed: "The general is good at arrows! He is indeed the pillar of the empire, the eldest son of Prime Minister Li, not only has the sharpness of Prime Minister Li, but also has the astonishing arm strength of General Meng Tian!"

Li You's face was dignified, and he didn't feel secretly happy at the compliment from the general. The general saw that Li You didn't smile, so he could only touch his head, and said calmly, "All the army assaults, capture them all!"

Li You finally spoke, and said coldly: "Since Huyan Jilu is their last straw, then I will burn this straw!"

With the assistance of the Qiang army, the Qin army quickly forced the Huyan soldiers back, preventing the Huyan soldiers from approaching Huyanjilu. The expressions of the dozen or so surrounded soldiers sank. When they saw Huyanjilu fall, they felt their eyes darken. , his legs went limp, and he fell limp to the ground.

Huyan Jilu, as the light of hope in their hearts, had been drowned out, so there was no need for them to continue fighting, so they put down their weapons one after another and shouted to surrender.

There was an indelible smile on Li You's face. The soldiers who surrendered could provide information and movements of the Huns, and they could easily know the whereabouts of the main force in Dragon City and the troops of the other five northern countries.

After cutting off Huyanjilu's head, the Qin army attacked in the direction of the remaining Hun soldiers. After an hour of joint strangulation, the Hun soldiers were almost lost.

Li You and Qiang Li hit it off immediately, they looked at each other, smiled at each other, spread out the Kanyu map and said: "Next, we will go around to Longcheng from this direction to support General Meng Tian!"

Immediately afterwards, Rumble's [-] troops joined forces, and after resting in place for a day, they began to march towards Dragon City.

The [-] cavalrymen of Maodun are still holding on to Longcheng, and I don't know if General Meng Tian has fallen for it. Qiang Yan patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, I have already informed General Meng Tian that he should not take the risk, but set up camp outside the city. They are waiting for our help to encircle and suppress Maodun!"

Seeing what Qiang Li said, Li You breathed a sigh of relief, and started to move forward to help General Meng Tian.

Meng Tian, ​​who was guarding far outside the Longcheng Pass, laughed out loud when he heard the news, and said lightly: "I didn't expect that Qiang Li and Li You would encircle Huyan Jilu's troops in advance. This is really a good battle report. A lot of losses have been lost, but the foundation has not been touched!"

"Compared to Li You and Qiang Li, who are already on their way, when they arrive, it will be time for us to jointly attack the city!"

Although Maodun used the narrowness outside the pass to build a towering barrier and constructed the Dragon City, they were still nomads after all, good at surprise attacks, not good at defense, and fortified battles were the strength of the Qin army.

What's more, when the supply general Zhang Han was transporting food and grass, he also came with the ordnance he had conquered the Six Kingdoms!

When the food, supplies and siege weapons arrive, let the soldiers have a full meal. After eating, drinking and resting, let them attack with the most advanced siege weapons of the Qin army, the ladder truck.

The soldiers of the Xiongnu didn't know how to forge the city, they could only imitate the Great Wall of Qin, and built barrier defenses in all directions.

Mao Dun, who was far away in Longcheng, frowned, and when he heard the news that Huyan Jilu had been beheaded, he was even more angry, and said coldly: "Qin Jun, I am at odds with you!"

But a new boulder was pressing on his chest. Three days ago, they attacked the Qin army at night and were ambushed by Meng Tian. After losing [-] soldiers, they were able to retreat completely.

Li You and Qiang Yan were approaching Longcheng, and they didn't have any other troops to support them. They were already on the brink of extinction. Right now, only by defeating Meng Tian before the Qin army's reinforcements arrived, would they have a chance of survival.

But the soldiers led by Meng Tian were elite, and finally a piece of news spread to the royal court, causing Qin Wangzheng to have an indelible smile on his face.
