Chapter 99 Want to Take His Life Did You Ask Me?
The sky is gloomy, the wind is blowing, the lights in Kashgar are sparse, and every household is asleep. The only sound on the street is the gong of the watchman. There was a loud noise, and the orange fire light reflected the figures of several people, and it looked a little dim when projected on their faces.
The veteran took a sip of the strong wine from the water bag at his waist, and his stiff body immediately warmed up. He looked at his apprentice who was staring at him with open eyes, smiled and passed the water bag over, and stood on the fire. After roasting and rubbing your hands, the warm feeling makes you drowsy.
The apprentice took a sip of the water bag and stuck out his tongue again and again when he was so hot by the strong wine. This appearance made the veteran laugh, and his chest vibrated in a small hearty voice. The apprentice also scratched his head and smiled stupidly, and asked through the smell of alcohol: " Master, why are there so many people defending the city today? Isn’t it enough for the two of us? Why haven’t I seen that group of people over there?”
The latter sentence was said in a low voice, so low that only two people could hear it.
The veteran took another sip of the wine from the water bag but didn't swallow it down. Instead, he spit it all out on the blade in his hand. He lowered his head and wiped his own life-saving sword, then picked up the dead branches and put them into the fire, and the slightest traces The green smoke and dancing flames blurred his face, and the voice came through this layer of smoke, "Don't ask so many children, don't come if you don't listen, and don't stay too far away from me tonight. Do you understand?"
For some reason, the apprentice felt a little uneasy, subconsciously held the big knife in his arms tighter, leaned over and giggled, "I know, I know, Master, you made it sound like something big is about to happen."
The dead branches were covered with sparks and were swallowed up by the flames in the blink of an eye, and the sparks scattered. The veteran raised his head and lifted the wiped knife, and looked at it carefully under the reflection of the fire. His expression was reflected on the blade, which looked a little heavy. Looking up at the mountains and forests in the distance, he said in a long tone: "A big event is indeed going to happen."
The voice of the speech melted into the wind and was blown away, and only a sigh remained in the apprentice's ears. The apprentice hurriedly looked in the direction the veteran was looking at, and what he saw was a pitch-black forest, the moon was blocked by dark clouds. Leaving a little bit of brilliance, it can't illuminate the vast human world, the whole world seems quiet, without a single sound, with a bit of weird aura that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is blowing over the building, which makes people feel a tense atmosphere from the bottom of their hearts.
The wind gathers the clouds together, and the thick clouds cover the moon even more tightly, so that even a little bit of peripheral light cannot be exposed, and the field of vision is even darker. The sounds of animals and birds from time to time make this night even more creepy. .
The temperature in Baimaxia is lower than that during the daytime. The grass on the roadside is covered with dew. It looks like a layer of frost from a distance. The breath of animals is covered with white mist. Mixed with pale yellow miasma, it looked a little weird in the dark night, the wind swept through the forest, and the branches shook violently and made rustling sounds.
The white birds resting and sleeping in the forest flapped their wings and scattered from the branches. The sound of flapping wings disturbed the tranquility of the forest, and the heavy and chaotic sound of horseshoes shook the ground. A row of heavy cavalry in armor held their breath. The horse came at a high speed, the sound of the bumping armor was accompanied by the sound of the horse treading on dead branches, and the ground it passed was full of dust.
The wind at night made people feel a little pain in the face. The person in front of the line was Xiao Changyu, his gaze was like a falcon in the dark night, revealing ruthlessness and solemnity. A group of people crossed the White Horse Gorge and looked straight to the east. Running, the steed was panting for hot air, and the white mist exhaled was very clear in the cold night.
Xiao Changyu took the lead in reining in his horse to stop, the horse's hoof was raised high in the air, and a lot of muddy water was splashed across a small puddle, the horse's hoof landed on the ground and paced back and forth, the soldiers behind them also reined in their horses and stopped for a moment The hissing sounds from the horses' mouths surrounded the surroundings one after another.
This is a vast plain, located in the east of the Cyanwood Forest. Xiao Changyu was sitting on the horse's back with his thin lips tightly pursed and his eyes dimmed. They all hang heavily in the hearts of everyone.
"Is it this place?" Xiao Changyu looked around and asked.
Zheng Cheng took out the secret letter from his pocket, glanced at it, nodded and said, "This is what the letter said."
After being affirmed, Xiao Changyu took another two steps forward, staring at the green wood forest shrouded in miasma that could not be seen beyond the horizon, his expression was unclear in the darkness, but the figure stood very straight, and the cloak was blown up , and then I saw him lightly open his thin lips, and spit out three words, "Pour fire oil!"
The soldiers behind got the order, and quickly removed the bamboo tubes hanging on both sides of the horse's belly. They were trained to sprinkle fire oil on the outermost tree trunks. The wind blowing head-on had a pungent smell of fire oil. Xiao Changyu frowned, and not long after, the people from the Xiaoqi Battalion poured out the kerosene, joined the team and retreated to change positions with the other team holding torches. Everyone held their breath and looked at the front The man was waiting for instructions. The wind was stronger than when he just came, but he couldn't move the heavy armor. Xiao Changyu closed his eyes and said nothing, letting the smell of kerosene disperse, thinking in his heart Time, after a while, he stretched out his hand, and Zheng Cheng, who was waiting on the side, handed over the torch in his hand with interest.
After receiving the torch, the blazing fire light illuminated Xiao Changyu's expression. He opened his eyes and looked stern and determined. The next moment he threw the fire out with his wrist and turned around gracefully. Sparks touched the flames of the trees and "rubbed" up. The glare of the fire illuminated the night, and the heat wave from the burning flames rushed towards Xiao Changyu, blowing the cloak behind him, his eyes were even more sinister against the background of the backlight, and the sound was mixed with the sound of burning trees , only to hear him sternly say: "Light it up."
As the voice fell, the soldiers holding the torches threw the torches in their hands one after another. The torches spun several times in mid-air, and the flames drew circles of fire one by one, lighting up the dark night. Finally, with a "swoosh", they touched the ground after landing. The tongues of fire from the branches of kerosene spread immediately, and everything in its path was devoured by the flames. The sparks and crackling sounds of the dead branches resounded through the night, and the fire spread unscrupulously, turning the gloomy The sky is red, and the surroundings are as bright as the dawn, with breathtaking magnificence.
The thick smoke and scorching heat brought by the fire, the fire wind blowing from the fire sucked the moisture from everyone's body, as if their hair was curled up by the heat wave, the air was filled with a suffocating smell, and the heat was so smoky. Dizziness.
Xiao Changyu's cheeks were flushed by the flames, and his cloak was fluttering in the wind. He turned his head slightly to look at the dark sky behind him, and whispered with a smile, "The wind is blowing."
The sky was filled with flames and black smoke, and the sky seemed to be split. One side was full of fire, and the other side sank into darkness. Meng Dalang had been waiting all night for an opportunity. Therefore, when his soldiers panicked and said that the east side of the Cyanwood Forest When the fire was on fire, he didn't panic at all, he drank the wine in front of him unhurriedly, and then took the scimitar handed over by his subordinates and got up.
He opened the curtain and saw the thick smoke rising from the sky and the small half of the sky reddened by the flames. With a smile on his face, he raised his chin and raised his hand to order: "Send the order, follow the original plan." Now, the frontier army should be in the most chaos at this time. The little bastard Ana Ang must call the soldiers to put out the fire, and he has to deal with Xiao Changyu. Now the timing is right. Let's send an elite team to sneak into the border with Lieutenant General Rela Take advantage of his unpreparedness and kill that stinky girl of Alu Manlei. After that stinky girl is dead, I will see who will compete with me for the position of Da'an. The protection is weak, go straight into the city, and kill anyone who is blocking you!"
When he said this, he stared at the thick smoke in the distance, his eagle-like gloomy eyes revealed a gleam of light in the darkness, and then the voice with murderous intent sounded again, "I want Da'an's position, and this Kashgar city, I also want it." want!"
From the very beginning, Meng Dalang had this idea. No matter what medicine Xiao Changyu and Ana Ang sold in the gourd, his goal from the beginning was Kashgar City. As long as these two people matched, Kashgar City would become A piece of unguarded snacks, the Qianhusuo is just some stragglers who have never been on the battlefield, and they are somewhat capable of defending the city of Kashgar.
The bigger the quarrel between the two, the more beneficial it is for him. The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits. What the fisherman wants is never just one of the snipe and the clam, but all of them!
Meng Dalang secretly led his troops along the small road to Kashgar City. At the same time, the camp of the Frontier Army was not lit, and tens of thousands of Nandian soldiers were ready to go. Qi Ran and Ji Si also looked like Dressed as a military general, he was dressed like a literati, and he stood aside, brows never loosened from beginning to end, but Xiao Changsheng was unarmored and still dressed in plain clothes, his hair scattered behind him was blown in all directions by the strong wind .
Several people stood on the high slope, and no one made a sound. The Nandian soldiers below also held their breaths, and the silence could be heard as a needle fell. The thick smoke seemed to be a signal, sounding the extraordinary beginning of the night.
Xiao Changchen's temples were a little wet, as if he had stood there for a long time in the cold night. When he saw the fire and black smoke all over the sky, a smile appeared on his solemn face. He took a step forward and spoke in Nandian dialect. He said loudly: "There is a fierce battle tonight. Meng Dalang is ambitious to murder the prince of Nandian. Faith in the oracle, Da'an is the messenger of the bird god to convey the will of God, and he is the man who is destined for it. He is a general and a soldier, so as not to let these rebellious officials and thieves mess with me. Nandian is loyal to the gods. Surrender, you must win!"
All the people below spoke in unison, and the voice resounded throughout the world, "Fight to the death, if you don't surrender, you will win!"
The sound is endless and magnificent.
"Leave in line, let's go!" Xiao Changchen raised his hand and ordered.
Hearing the sound, everyone quickly adjusted their posture and stood in line, but after a while, they were divided into two teams. Xiao Changchen walked to Qi Ran's side, and said solemnly: "Please."
"I will live up to the entrustment," Qi Ran nodded, "but the general is so relieved to entrust this important task to me, I am flattered."
"Although I am guarding Qingmulin, I have heard of the name of the Pei family army. You are under the old general Pei, and you are in the same school as Pei Qixiu. Your ability is not inferior, not to mention that my master is right. You are indeed the best choice. I don't believe you, but I believe him."
Qi Ran turned his head to look at the person behind Xiao Changchen, and felt that his identity was already known at all times. The Frontier Army guarded the Xiaoqi Battalion, and the Xiaoqi Battalion was also afraid of the Frontier Army. Ji Si didn't seem to be suitable for anyone, so he nodded in response.
While the few people were talking, Alu Manlei hurried over. She seemed to have woken up from sleep and rushed over. Her hair was loose and she was only wearing a thin coat. The hanging Nandian hair accessories look a bit more mature than usual.
Seeing this, Xiao Changchen took off his cloak and went up to meet him, covering him from head to toe, frowning and cursing angrily, "Why are you out in such cold!"
Alu Manlei wrapped the cloak tightly, the sweat on her head was blown by the cold wind, causing a biting cold, and the cloak with residual warmth warmed her shivering body a bit, raised her small face and frowned. Frowning, he said: "Chang Chen, I had a nightmare. I dreamed that you disappeared and I was the only one. Many people wanted to kill me. Dama lay motionless on the ground. There were dead people everywhere and blood everywhere. Dalang pointed at me with a knife, he was covered in blood like he was going to eat me, I called you, tried my best to call you, but you didn’t answer me, I’m so scared, I’m so scared, Chang Chen, I So scary."
Hearing this, Xiao Changchen sighed, he treated Alu Manlei like his own sister, and the two of them have been treated as family members after getting along for a few years, so he had to coax softly: "Don't be afraid, I won't leave, I've been here all along Well, when today's matter is over, no one will harm you, you go back and sleep well, and I will come back when you wake up."
"Aren't you going?"
"Will not."
Alu Manlei had a pale face, and he forced a smile at people when he heard the words, "Then you will bring me a sugar man after I wake up."
"Okay," Xiao Changchen nodded in response, and then ordered the subordinates beside him, "Send the princess back to the camp."
"Of order," the subordinate at the side took a step to the left, saluted respectfully, "Princess, go back."
After sending Alu Manlei away, Xiao Changchen turned around and looked at the crowd behind him and waved his hands, "Let's go!"
Everyone got on their horses, and the horseshoes paced back and forth. Ji Si looked around, tightened the reins and approached Qi Ran, and asked in confusion, "Why don't you continue to persuade me to stay in the tent?"
Qi Ran turned his head to look at the people beside him, and said softly: "I thought about it, I'm by your side is the safest place."
This man's words are actually very easy to cause public anger, but he said it with a sense of reason and what should be. Ji Si smiled, stretched out his hand to hold the man's hand holding the rein, and stared at the man's eyes with firm eyes, " Qi Ran, I bleed the blood of a military general in my bones, and I will not hide behind others just because I am afraid of death. Although you and I have the name of Zhu Chen, we are both men. I am not like those delicate women who need your protection. Zhiying is like the Yangtze River rushing east to the sea, carrying the sun and the moon on your shoulders, stepping on the river with your feet, standing between heaven and earth, why don't you want to protect me if you want to protect me, what I want is not to wait for your safe return, what I want is to be with you side by side."
"Well," Qi Ranhui held Ji Si's cool hand, and smiled, "I'll go and return with you."
Every move of the two fell into Xiao Changsheng's eyes. He bit his lip, turned off his horse abruptly, and walked quickly to Xiao Changsheng. His eyes were complicated and contained many things that people couldn't see clearly.The latter was a little dazed, before he could open his mouth, he fell into an embrace, and then a deep voice sounded beside his ears, "Master, wait for me to come back."
The voice was very soft, and the warm embrace was released before anyone could hear it. The cold wind continued to rush towards his face. Xiao Changsheng's eyelids trembled slightly. Looking at the teams leaving one after another, his lips opened and closed silently. In the end, he didn't make a sound. Biting his lower lip, the hand hanging by his side clenched his fist unconsciously, until Xiao Changchen was no longer in sight, and then he slowly loosened his clenched hand.
Xiao Changsheng stood where he was, surrounded by only patrolling soldiers. He bowed his head in thought for a moment and turned to leave. He had just sat down and drank some hot tea when the curtain was lifted and a person walked in.
The person who came didn't make a sound, but just stood quietly aside, thinking about it, thinking about hesitating, Xiao Changsheng paused when he heard the sound, then returned to normal in an instant, continued to pour a cup of tea and sip it, but he didn't make a sound for a while , sighed in his heart, raised his eyes and smiled at the person in front of him, "I guessed that you would come."
The voice stayed in the camp, and it didn't come out at all.
The camp of the Frontier Army was very quiet, so quiet that it revealed a little weirdness. Every soldier stuck to his post in an orderly manner, as if everything that happened tonight had nothing to do with them.
The flags were flying, the sky was covered with dark clouds, which blocked the moonlight which was not bright at all, the strong wind rolled up the dust and dead leaves, and brought a biting chill to the face, Meng Dalang raised his head and squinted his eyes to look at the distant city tower The firelight on his face, the expression on his face was hidden in the dark night, making it difficult to see the emotions above. He reined in his horse and stopped, raising his hand to signal to stop, and the soldiers behind him had no choice but to stop.
The lieutenant-general galloped forward and looked in the direction Meng Dalang was looking at. There was nothing but the faint light of the fire. He was a little puzzled and said, "Lord Lang, what's the matter? Is there something wrong?"
"Who is guarding the city of Kashgar now?" Meng Dalang asked with a frown.
"It is said that he is an official from Xinqianhu. It seems that he is a collateral branch of the Yao family. He is not a big man. Master Lang has discovered something."
"Yao family?" Meng Dalang frowned even deeper. Kashgar was originally under the management of Nandian, so he naturally knew the Yao family in Kashgar. He also heard that the new policy was implemented during the Great Jin Dynasty. , can be regarded as infinite scenery.
The Yao family didn't seem to have anything to do with it, but for some reason, he always felt a little uneasy. He recalled all the things that happened in recent days, but he didn't find anything that he had overlooked. Obviously everything was fine, but so The instinct of licking blood with the tip of a knife for many years still made him feel uneasy, and even gave birth to the idea of going back.
But looking up at the city of Kashgar in front of him, the thought dissipated by seven points. If he regained Kashgar tonight, he would be a brave man in Nandian. After destroying Anaang's vigor, Nandian's morale was greatly improved. Not to mention prestige, it is even more beneficial to the hearts of the people. Nandian has always respected the strong, and when he succeeds to Da'an, it will be the destiny and the people's will!
Thinking of this, he lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said sharply: "Pick up your spirits, show me your tricks, keep your movements quiet, and when things are done tonight, there will be rewards for everything! Good meat and good wine!" There will be no brothers."
Meng Dalang's team was attacking at night, so they chose a remote path. The weeds on both sides of the road were as high as a person, and horses had to raise their heads slightly when walking in it, let alone soldiers in heavy armor. After walking for a while, everyone is already a little tired, but they still need to work hard.
Kashgar City is built on the mountain, and the city wall is built in an arc shape and extends to both sides to connect the mountains, forming a unique barrier. The city wall is firmly built and it will be difficult to capture it without a siege engine. So from the beginning Meng Dalang didn't intend to attack the city, and the strong attack would only lead to a stalemate. At that time, Xiao Changyu would be given a chance to breathe, and it would be really stupid to kill a carbine.
The construction of the city wall needs to fit the scale of the mountain, so the city walls on both sides of the mountain in Hengjie are the weakest point, and it is also the best place to start.
When a group of people appeared on the side of the mountain, as Meng Dalang guessed, there were indeed no guards around the city and the lights were not lit. It was dark and quiet, and the whistling wind blinded his eyes. Crazy, then got off the horse but didn't get close to the city wall, just looked at it for a while and said in a deep voice: "Do it!"
The soldiers behind him quickly took out guns, and arranged them in stacks under the corner of the wall. After a while, the guns were neatly piled up in their hands, and then they quickly took out the fire pockets and lit the gun fuses in unison, and then they turned over one by one. Jump out of the explosive range.
The firepower of this kind of ground bomb is not very strong, but because of the weakness of the city wall, it can be exploded when the amount is superimposed. The lead wire is not long and burns quickly. When the sparks went out, there was a "bang" explosion, and a loud bang resounded through the sky, instantly shattering all the tranquility of the night, and people in Kashgar City had already heard the sound and turned on the lights one after another.
The scarlet fire was accompanied by the sound of the explosion and mixed with thick black smoke. At the same time, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, quickly and fiercely. The shroud is as bright as day, clearly illuminating the details of every corner, but the white light is fleeting.
Everything that happened in front of me was between lightning and flint. In an instant, the crackling sound stopped, and the fire and lightning also stopped in response. Without light, the heaven and earth merged into one again, and everything in the world was still shrouded in darkness, and the wind was blowing. As he spoke, there was a burst of moisture in the air, and it felt moist on his face.
When the people guarding the city heard the sound, they all stood up and looked at the place where the sound came from, as if they were stunned.
"boom"!
Immediately afterwards, there was another cracking sound, and the black smoke and flames that came out were far better than the first one just now. The apprentice of the veteran guard rubbed his eyes, pointed at that place in disbelief and asked, "Master...Master ...that...that is Dongshan...the direction of Dongshan..."
The old soldier stared at the ugly face, frowning tightly, hung the knife back to his waist in a hurry, and ran desperately to the upstairs, every step was extremely big and almost tripped over, After stabilizing his body, he staggered up the tower without caring about others, his fingers couldn't stop shaking, and after holding it several times, he picked up the drumstick and beat the drum with all his strength, shouting in a trembling voice, "Someone is attacking the city, be on guard, be on guard!"
When the sound of the drum came from the city gate, there was only a faint sound, which was not loud but could be heard clearly by everyone. Meng Dalang's expression remained unchanged, his eyes were fixed in front of him, and he waited until the last bundle of guns burst open. , the city wall in front of him collapsed and raised a large amount of dust, and the air was filled with the smell of ** and dust, which was pungent and unpleasant.
Meng Dalang got on his horse, pulled out the scimitar from the scabbard hanging on the horse's belly, pointed at the front and raised it high, and said sharply: "Go into the city!"
After the words fell, the Nandian soldiers raised their weapons to the sky and roared three times in unison, "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The mournful roar in the crowd shocked the sky. Meng Dalang got on his horse first, and the soldiers behind him followed closely behind. Ma Xiaoxiao stepped over the ruins of the collapsed wall with his horseshoes, leaving behind a mess of footsteps, revealing the truth. The biggest show of the night.
The dark Nandian soldiers poured into the city, the crowd was scattered, crying, screaming and calling for help from all directions. The originally dark city of Kashgar was blown up by several thunderbolts, and suddenly woke up, and the guns attacked the wall and rose. The billowing smoke filled the sky, the sky was darkened by the black smoke, and the night wind was blowing, making the Nandian soldiers in black armor look like deadly messengers from hell. With a ferocious face and ruthless gaze, just one glance can arouse deep panic in the hearts of the people.
Meng Dalang looked at the panic-stricken Kashgar people with an extremely crazy expression. He drew out the big knife of the soldier beside him and threw it at a running middle-aged man. The blade pierced his chest from the back and splashed blood on the ground. Before the man could even turn around to see what his murderer looked like, he fell heavily to the ground.
The strong smell of blood and blood mixed with each other, filled the air, was scattered by the wind, and fell into the noses of everyone. It was pungent and unpleasant. The twisted Da Jin dialect, with a strong evil spirit, "Surrender, don't kill, offenders, die!"
This sentence was like a password, and the Nandian infantrymen followed suit, raising their weapons high and making a loud noise. Although they wore heavy armor, they moved extremely fast, rushing towards the crowd like a few black shadows, billowing smoke and dust, piercing their hearts. The roar and the tip of the knife glowing with cold light, when he was cutting towards the person, he was blinded by the sudden flash of light, and the Nandian soldiers subconsciously turned their heads to avoid it. In the blink of an eye, the situation changed drastically. Suddenly someone pulled out a dagger from his cuff, and slashed hard at the Nandian soldier's neck. Warm blood sprayed out, killing him without leaving a chance to breathe.
The situation changed suddenly, the soldiers of Qianhusuo who were mixed in the crowd showed their true colors, Meng Dalang realized that something was wrong, his expression changed, he was really murderous, he had to take Kashgar city down before the Xiaoqi battalion arrived, his face Vicious and vicious, he commanded sharply, "Shoot the arrow, and no one will be left alive."
The archers made their preparations early, and after receiving the orders, they lined up and put the rockets stained with kerosene on the bows. After aiming, they opened the bows and released the arrows with a "swoosh". The rain of arrows covered the sky and covered the sky like fireballs. A flash of fire flashed across the sky, and the arrows fell on the beams of the haystack house. The zero-point fire spread, and the entire Kashgar city was illuminated by the fire, with a different kind of beauty.
Arrows are as dense as locusts passing through wave after wave without leaving a single gap. As long as the sparks touch the clothes, the flames will immediately wrap the person like a fireball. Someone fell down, and it was hard to tell whether it was the people in the city or the soldiers of the Thousand Households. They shouted shrilly and hoarsely begged for help. Under the blazing flames, the whole Kashgar was shrouded in such tragic breath and cries, like purgatory.
And Meng Dalang, who was on the horse, looked at the scene in front of him, heard all kinds of voices in his ears, and the expression on his face enjoyed the feeling of trampling others. He raised his knife and stabbed it into the abdomen of a Kashgar citizen, holding the knife tightly. The handle turned vigorously, and then pulled out violently, blood sprayed all over his body, and the smell of blood made Meng Dalang's emotions soar, he kicked the warm corpse away, and shouted loudly: "The man who killed Kashgar , the women and the city of Dajin are ours!"
There was another violent attack while speaking, the soldiers of Qianhusuo went forward but were outnumbered and fell behind.
The attack did not stop, and the fire grew bigger and bigger.
The number of arrows was more than that at the beginning. When the situation was about to settle down, at this critical moment, a strong wind suddenly blew up the wind, sand and dust that made people unable to open their eyes. The scene became panicked, and the horses As if disturbed, he raised his front hooves high and hissed. Meng Dalang covered his eyes with the back of his hand and shouted in a deep voice, "What are you panicking about? Go ahead and bring the bow and arrow."
The latter sentence was addressed to the subordinate beside him. The latter untied the bow on his back and handed it over. Meng Dalang took it and sat on the horse and fully drew the bow. The arrow shot straight up at a tower. A veteran of the drum, he closed one eye, sneered at the corner of his lips, and then let go of his index finger, and the arrow flew out, but in an instant, it crossed the crowd and reached the veteran. The momentum was like a broken bamboo, and before anyone could react, he had already arrived in front of the veteran. He held the drumstick and stood there, his pupils dilated, and his feet were stuck in place. Getting closer and closer to him, suddenly, a figure jumped out and threw himself in front of him, a sharp arrow pierced straight into his heart, red blood sprayed out, and the old soldier screamed , "Gangzi!"
Meng Dalang opened his eyes and took a look, let out a disdain, and then fired two arrows, much faster and fiercer than the first arrow, at this critical moment, a long sword flew from a distance, As fast as the wind, the sword aura lingered and the sword tip pierced through the middle of the arrow, and the arrow fell to the ground. The speed was reached in an instant, he held the hilt of the long sword in mid-air and drew a few sword flowers, standing high on the tower, the armor on his body reflected the flames below the tower.
With a "bang", the beacon tower on the side of the city tower burned into black charcoal and collapsed, raising smoke and sparks all over the sky and blurring the whole world. The man turned around, his face was hidden behind the dust and sparks, and he couldn't see clearly. Meng Dalang raised his head, squinted his eyes and stared at the unexpected guest, secretly counting, but asked calmly on his face: "Who is your Excellency?"
Qi Ran pointed his sword at the person below, his gaze was like a torch, and the cloak behind him was blown away by the strong wind, he raised his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The person who wants your life."
While speaking, he tapped his toes on the ground and jumped down the tower lightly. The blade of the sword reflected the firelight and struck in the dark night, his whole body seemed to be in flames.
"It's a big tone, it depends on whether you have the ability," Meng Dalang sneered, and waved his hand, "Fire the arrow!"
The soldiers on the side changed directions and pointed their bows and arrows at Qi Ran. The arrow rain formed a black cloud and flew towards Qi Ran. The arrow fell from the sky, like a falling meteor crashing down on the ground, Qi Ran turned his head to avoid an arrow, and the hair that had been cut off from the sideburns was floating in the air, his thin lips were tightly pursed, Then he leaned back and hooked the arrow feathers with his toes, and lightly picked the arrow. The arrow changed direction and kicked hard again. The arrow contained the internal force he poured into it and shot towards the person on the horse quickly, like lightning. It can be avoided, splitting the crowd and forcibly breaking a way.
Meng Dalang opened his eyes wide, and the approaching arrows were reflected in his pupils. His eyes sank and he pulled his subordinate aside to stand in front of him. Before he could open his mouth, he felt the arrow sticking into his chest. Before the tingling pain came and the consciousness dissipated, what he saw was Meng Dalang's ruthless gaze.
Throwing away the corpse in front of him, Meng Dalang stared at the person standing in front. Although he didn't know the identity of this person, he knew that this person was not a good person, and said in a deep voice: "I don't care if you belong to Anaang. People are still Xiao Changyu's people, and how long you can last even if you are strong in martial arts, I will accept your life today, grandpa!"
"If you want to take his life, you have to ask me if I agree first." Another voice came with a smile.
Hearing the sound, Meng Dalang turned his head abruptly, and suddenly realized that just when he was attracted by Qi Ran, the old soldier opened the city gate at some point, and the sound came from outside the city, and the door opened wider and wider , the bumping sound of the heavy armor and the hissing of the horses gradually became clear, a team rushed in with uniform steps, their military boots were dusty on the ground, and the armor on them was from the frontier army and the Xiaoqi battalion. People with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that it is just an army composed of the Xiaoqi Battalion and the Frontier Army. In front of the team is Ji Si standing on a horse. Reflecting the white light on and off, Lin's face became more and more beautiful, but there was no warmth in his eyes.
"Ji, Si." Meng Dalang stared at him with fierce eyes, and slowly uttered the man's name, as if he wanted to bite these two words into his mouth and swallow them into his stomach.
"Lord Lao Lang is thinking about it, it's here." Ji Si smiled and cupped his fists at him.
There were hurried and complicated footsteps behind him, and Meng Dalang took a look out of the corner of his eye, and found that the retreat was blocked by soldiers from the Qianhusuo who rushed over. There were wolves in front and tigers in the back. They were now the prey in the encirclement. Fleeing, the situation suddenly changed again. If Meng Dalang still can't see the problem here, he is really an idiot.
He grabbed the scimitar and shouted sharply: "You lie to me!"
Ji Si ignored him, and slowly rode up to Qi Ran's side, looking down at him, seeing that there was only a little blood on his face, and it was nothing serious, his hanging heart relaxed, and then he shifted his gaze to Meng Qiran. Dalang raised his eyebrows: "It's not deceitful, it's just a trick. As a military commander, the Lord has heard people attacking others and catching a turtle in a jar. It's not a coincidence that you are the turtle now."
"Hahahaha," Meng Dalang laughed while looking up to the sky, the strong wind rolled up the dark clouds, and his hair was blown away. Years ago, I never imagined that one day I would be tricked by the two young boys who had just grown hair, I was careless, I was careless, but..."
When he said this, he paused for a moment, then continued with a smile on his lips, "The only one who wins tonight is me!"
After the words fell, Meng Dalang took out a bone flute from his pocket and blew it in his mouth. The ear-piercing sound hurt everyone's ears and resounded in every corner. After the sound stopped, Meng Dalang took a pair of winning cards. Looking at Ji Si with a gripping expression, he laughed and said, "Ji Si, although you and I have no enmity, it's better for you to die."
Ji Si picked out his ears and yawned, "Isn't the Lord waiting for reinforcements?"
Hearing this, Meng Dalang's smile froze on his face, feeling uneasy in his heart, he subconsciously looked outside the dark city, and as expected, he heard Ji Si smirk and said in the next sentence: "They can't come."
Long before the Mundaran troops entered Kashgar City, Rela led people to infiltrate around the camp of the frontier army. There was only some faint light around the camp. A small group of people was guarding, and it seemed very quiet, so Rela's team took control of the frontier army's camp very smoothly and easily along the way. He frowned as he watched the captured frontier army, and said in a low voice : "Be quicker and quicker."
After finishing speaking, the crowd surrounded Alumanlei's camp, holding their breath and waiting for Rela's instructions. The latter raised his eyes to look at the gloomy weather, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the wind roared with a sense of oppression. He looked at it for a while, licked his lips, and raised his hand to signal for action. A group of people got the order, opened the curtain and rushed in. The camp was dark and dark, and the curtain was raised, letting in a glimmer of light, so that everyone could clearly see the person sleeping on the bed. The figure, Rela held up the knife and slashed at the figure heavily. When the blade touched the bedding, the person on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and turned over.
The veteran took a sip of the strong wine from the water bag at his waist, and his stiff body immediately warmed up. He looked at his apprentice who was staring at him with open eyes, smiled and passed the water bag over, and stood on the fire. After roasting and rubbing your hands, the warm feeling makes you drowsy.
The apprentice took a sip of the water bag and stuck out his tongue again and again when he was so hot by the strong wine. This appearance made the veteran laugh, and his chest vibrated in a small hearty voice. The apprentice also scratched his head and smiled stupidly, and asked through the smell of alcohol: " Master, why are there so many people defending the city today? Isn’t it enough for the two of us? Why haven’t I seen that group of people over there?”
The latter sentence was said in a low voice, so low that only two people could hear it.
The veteran took another sip of the wine from the water bag but didn't swallow it down. Instead, he spit it all out on the blade in his hand. He lowered his head and wiped his own life-saving sword, then picked up the dead branches and put them into the fire, and the slightest traces The green smoke and dancing flames blurred his face, and the voice came through this layer of smoke, "Don't ask so many children, don't come if you don't listen, and don't stay too far away from me tonight. Do you understand?"
For some reason, the apprentice felt a little uneasy, subconsciously held the big knife in his arms tighter, leaned over and giggled, "I know, I know, Master, you made it sound like something big is about to happen."
The dead branches were covered with sparks and were swallowed up by the flames in the blink of an eye, and the sparks scattered. The veteran raised his head and lifted the wiped knife, and looked at it carefully under the reflection of the fire. His expression was reflected on the blade, which looked a little heavy. Looking up at the mountains and forests in the distance, he said in a long tone: "A big event is indeed going to happen."
The voice of the speech melted into the wind and was blown away, and only a sigh remained in the apprentice's ears. The apprentice hurriedly looked in the direction the veteran was looking at, and what he saw was a pitch-black forest, the moon was blocked by dark clouds. Leaving a little bit of brilliance, it can't illuminate the vast human world, the whole world seems quiet, without a single sound, with a bit of weird aura that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is blowing over the building, which makes people feel a tense atmosphere from the bottom of their hearts.
The wind gathers the clouds together, and the thick clouds cover the moon even more tightly, so that even a little bit of peripheral light cannot be exposed, and the field of vision is even darker. The sounds of animals and birds from time to time make this night even more creepy. .
The temperature in Baimaxia is lower than that during the daytime. The grass on the roadside is covered with dew. It looks like a layer of frost from a distance. The breath of animals is covered with white mist. Mixed with pale yellow miasma, it looked a little weird in the dark night, the wind swept through the forest, and the branches shook violently and made rustling sounds.
The white birds resting and sleeping in the forest flapped their wings and scattered from the branches. The sound of flapping wings disturbed the tranquility of the forest, and the heavy and chaotic sound of horseshoes shook the ground. A row of heavy cavalry in armor held their breath. The horse came at a high speed, the sound of the bumping armor was accompanied by the sound of the horse treading on dead branches, and the ground it passed was full of dust.
The wind at night made people feel a little pain in the face. The person in front of the line was Xiao Changyu, his gaze was like a falcon in the dark night, revealing ruthlessness and solemnity. A group of people crossed the White Horse Gorge and looked straight to the east. Running, the steed was panting for hot air, and the white mist exhaled was very clear in the cold night.
Xiao Changyu took the lead in reining in his horse to stop, the horse's hoof was raised high in the air, and a lot of muddy water was splashed across a small puddle, the horse's hoof landed on the ground and paced back and forth, the soldiers behind them also reined in their horses and stopped for a moment The hissing sounds from the horses' mouths surrounded the surroundings one after another.
This is a vast plain, located in the east of the Cyanwood Forest. Xiao Changyu was sitting on the horse's back with his thin lips tightly pursed and his eyes dimmed. They all hang heavily in the hearts of everyone.
"Is it this place?" Xiao Changyu looked around and asked.
Zheng Cheng took out the secret letter from his pocket, glanced at it, nodded and said, "This is what the letter said."
After being affirmed, Xiao Changyu took another two steps forward, staring at the green wood forest shrouded in miasma that could not be seen beyond the horizon, his expression was unclear in the darkness, but the figure stood very straight, and the cloak was blown up , and then I saw him lightly open his thin lips, and spit out three words, "Pour fire oil!"
The soldiers behind got the order, and quickly removed the bamboo tubes hanging on both sides of the horse's belly. They were trained to sprinkle fire oil on the outermost tree trunks. The wind blowing head-on had a pungent smell of fire oil. Xiao Changyu frowned, and not long after, the people from the Xiaoqi Battalion poured out the kerosene, joined the team and retreated to change positions with the other team holding torches. Everyone held their breath and looked at the front The man was waiting for instructions. The wind was stronger than when he just came, but he couldn't move the heavy armor. Xiao Changyu closed his eyes and said nothing, letting the smell of kerosene disperse, thinking in his heart Time, after a while, he stretched out his hand, and Zheng Cheng, who was waiting on the side, handed over the torch in his hand with interest.
After receiving the torch, the blazing fire light illuminated Xiao Changyu's expression. He opened his eyes and looked stern and determined. The next moment he threw the fire out with his wrist and turned around gracefully. Sparks touched the flames of the trees and "rubbed" up. The glare of the fire illuminated the night, and the heat wave from the burning flames rushed towards Xiao Changyu, blowing the cloak behind him, his eyes were even more sinister against the background of the backlight, and the sound was mixed with the sound of burning trees , only to hear him sternly say: "Light it up."
As the voice fell, the soldiers holding the torches threw the torches in their hands one after another. The torches spun several times in mid-air, and the flames drew circles of fire one by one, lighting up the dark night. Finally, with a "swoosh", they touched the ground after landing. The tongues of fire from the branches of kerosene spread immediately, and everything in its path was devoured by the flames. The sparks and crackling sounds of the dead branches resounded through the night, and the fire spread unscrupulously, turning the gloomy The sky is red, and the surroundings are as bright as the dawn, with breathtaking magnificence.
The thick smoke and scorching heat brought by the fire, the fire wind blowing from the fire sucked the moisture from everyone's body, as if their hair was curled up by the heat wave, the air was filled with a suffocating smell, and the heat was so smoky. Dizziness.
Xiao Changyu's cheeks were flushed by the flames, and his cloak was fluttering in the wind. He turned his head slightly to look at the dark sky behind him, and whispered with a smile, "The wind is blowing."
The sky was filled with flames and black smoke, and the sky seemed to be split. One side was full of fire, and the other side sank into darkness. Meng Dalang had been waiting all night for an opportunity. Therefore, when his soldiers panicked and said that the east side of the Cyanwood Forest When the fire was on fire, he didn't panic at all, he drank the wine in front of him unhurriedly, and then took the scimitar handed over by his subordinates and got up.
He opened the curtain and saw the thick smoke rising from the sky and the small half of the sky reddened by the flames. With a smile on his face, he raised his chin and raised his hand to order: "Send the order, follow the original plan." Now, the frontier army should be in the most chaos at this time. The little bastard Ana Ang must call the soldiers to put out the fire, and he has to deal with Xiao Changyu. Now the timing is right. Let's send an elite team to sneak into the border with Lieutenant General Rela Take advantage of his unpreparedness and kill that stinky girl of Alu Manlei. After that stinky girl is dead, I will see who will compete with me for the position of Da'an. The protection is weak, go straight into the city, and kill anyone who is blocking you!"
When he said this, he stared at the thick smoke in the distance, his eagle-like gloomy eyes revealed a gleam of light in the darkness, and then the voice with murderous intent sounded again, "I want Da'an's position, and this Kashgar city, I also want it." want!"
From the very beginning, Meng Dalang had this idea. No matter what medicine Xiao Changyu and Ana Ang sold in the gourd, his goal from the beginning was Kashgar City. As long as these two people matched, Kashgar City would become A piece of unguarded snacks, the Qianhusuo is just some stragglers who have never been on the battlefield, and they are somewhat capable of defending the city of Kashgar.
The bigger the quarrel between the two, the more beneficial it is for him. The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits. What the fisherman wants is never just one of the snipe and the clam, but all of them!
Meng Dalang secretly led his troops along the small road to Kashgar City. At the same time, the camp of the Frontier Army was not lit, and tens of thousands of Nandian soldiers were ready to go. Qi Ran and Ji Si also looked like Dressed as a military general, he was dressed like a literati, and he stood aside, brows never loosened from beginning to end, but Xiao Changsheng was unarmored and still dressed in plain clothes, his hair scattered behind him was blown in all directions by the strong wind .
Several people stood on the high slope, and no one made a sound. The Nandian soldiers below also held their breaths, and the silence could be heard as a needle fell. The thick smoke seemed to be a signal, sounding the extraordinary beginning of the night.
Xiao Changchen's temples were a little wet, as if he had stood there for a long time in the cold night. When he saw the fire and black smoke all over the sky, a smile appeared on his solemn face. He took a step forward and spoke in Nandian dialect. He said loudly: "There is a fierce battle tonight. Meng Dalang is ambitious to murder the prince of Nandian. Faith in the oracle, Da'an is the messenger of the bird god to convey the will of God, and he is the man who is destined for it. He is a general and a soldier, so as not to let these rebellious officials and thieves mess with me. Nandian is loyal to the gods. Surrender, you must win!"
All the people below spoke in unison, and the voice resounded throughout the world, "Fight to the death, if you don't surrender, you will win!"
The sound is endless and magnificent.
"Leave in line, let's go!" Xiao Changchen raised his hand and ordered.
Hearing the sound, everyone quickly adjusted their posture and stood in line, but after a while, they were divided into two teams. Xiao Changchen walked to Qi Ran's side, and said solemnly: "Please."
"I will live up to the entrustment," Qi Ran nodded, "but the general is so relieved to entrust this important task to me, I am flattered."
"Although I am guarding Qingmulin, I have heard of the name of the Pei family army. You are under the old general Pei, and you are in the same school as Pei Qixiu. Your ability is not inferior, not to mention that my master is right. You are indeed the best choice. I don't believe you, but I believe him."
Qi Ran turned his head to look at the person behind Xiao Changchen, and felt that his identity was already known at all times. The Frontier Army guarded the Xiaoqi Battalion, and the Xiaoqi Battalion was also afraid of the Frontier Army. Ji Si didn't seem to be suitable for anyone, so he nodded in response.
While the few people were talking, Alu Manlei hurried over. She seemed to have woken up from sleep and rushed over. Her hair was loose and she was only wearing a thin coat. The hanging Nandian hair accessories look a bit more mature than usual.
Seeing this, Xiao Changchen took off his cloak and went up to meet him, covering him from head to toe, frowning and cursing angrily, "Why are you out in such cold!"
Alu Manlei wrapped the cloak tightly, the sweat on her head was blown by the cold wind, causing a biting cold, and the cloak with residual warmth warmed her shivering body a bit, raised her small face and frowned. Frowning, he said: "Chang Chen, I had a nightmare. I dreamed that you disappeared and I was the only one. Many people wanted to kill me. Dama lay motionless on the ground. There were dead people everywhere and blood everywhere. Dalang pointed at me with a knife, he was covered in blood like he was going to eat me, I called you, tried my best to call you, but you didn’t answer me, I’m so scared, I’m so scared, Chang Chen, I So scary."
Hearing this, Xiao Changchen sighed, he treated Alu Manlei like his own sister, and the two of them have been treated as family members after getting along for a few years, so he had to coax softly: "Don't be afraid, I won't leave, I've been here all along Well, when today's matter is over, no one will harm you, you go back and sleep well, and I will come back when you wake up."
"Aren't you going?"
"Will not."
Alu Manlei had a pale face, and he forced a smile at people when he heard the words, "Then you will bring me a sugar man after I wake up."
"Okay," Xiao Changchen nodded in response, and then ordered the subordinates beside him, "Send the princess back to the camp."
"Of order," the subordinate at the side took a step to the left, saluted respectfully, "Princess, go back."
After sending Alu Manlei away, Xiao Changchen turned around and looked at the crowd behind him and waved his hands, "Let's go!"
Everyone got on their horses, and the horseshoes paced back and forth. Ji Si looked around, tightened the reins and approached Qi Ran, and asked in confusion, "Why don't you continue to persuade me to stay in the tent?"
Qi Ran turned his head to look at the people beside him, and said softly: "I thought about it, I'm by your side is the safest place."
This man's words are actually very easy to cause public anger, but he said it with a sense of reason and what should be. Ji Si smiled, stretched out his hand to hold the man's hand holding the rein, and stared at the man's eyes with firm eyes, " Qi Ran, I bleed the blood of a military general in my bones, and I will not hide behind others just because I am afraid of death. Although you and I have the name of Zhu Chen, we are both men. I am not like those delicate women who need your protection. Zhiying is like the Yangtze River rushing east to the sea, carrying the sun and the moon on your shoulders, stepping on the river with your feet, standing between heaven and earth, why don't you want to protect me if you want to protect me, what I want is not to wait for your safe return, what I want is to be with you side by side."
"Well," Qi Ranhui held Ji Si's cool hand, and smiled, "I'll go and return with you."
Every move of the two fell into Xiao Changsheng's eyes. He bit his lip, turned off his horse abruptly, and walked quickly to Xiao Changsheng. His eyes were complicated and contained many things that people couldn't see clearly.The latter was a little dazed, before he could open his mouth, he fell into an embrace, and then a deep voice sounded beside his ears, "Master, wait for me to come back."
The voice was very soft, and the warm embrace was released before anyone could hear it. The cold wind continued to rush towards his face. Xiao Changsheng's eyelids trembled slightly. Looking at the teams leaving one after another, his lips opened and closed silently. In the end, he didn't make a sound. Biting his lower lip, the hand hanging by his side clenched his fist unconsciously, until Xiao Changchen was no longer in sight, and then he slowly loosened his clenched hand.
Xiao Changsheng stood where he was, surrounded by only patrolling soldiers. He bowed his head in thought for a moment and turned to leave. He had just sat down and drank some hot tea when the curtain was lifted and a person walked in.
The person who came didn't make a sound, but just stood quietly aside, thinking about it, thinking about hesitating, Xiao Changsheng paused when he heard the sound, then returned to normal in an instant, continued to pour a cup of tea and sip it, but he didn't make a sound for a while , sighed in his heart, raised his eyes and smiled at the person in front of him, "I guessed that you would come."
The voice stayed in the camp, and it didn't come out at all.
The camp of the Frontier Army was very quiet, so quiet that it revealed a little weirdness. Every soldier stuck to his post in an orderly manner, as if everything that happened tonight had nothing to do with them.
The flags were flying, the sky was covered with dark clouds, which blocked the moonlight which was not bright at all, the strong wind rolled up the dust and dead leaves, and brought a biting chill to the face, Meng Dalang raised his head and squinted his eyes to look at the distant city tower The firelight on his face, the expression on his face was hidden in the dark night, making it difficult to see the emotions above. He reined in his horse and stopped, raising his hand to signal to stop, and the soldiers behind him had no choice but to stop.
The lieutenant-general galloped forward and looked in the direction Meng Dalang was looking at. There was nothing but the faint light of the fire. He was a little puzzled and said, "Lord Lang, what's the matter? Is there something wrong?"
"Who is guarding the city of Kashgar now?" Meng Dalang asked with a frown.
"It is said that he is an official from Xinqianhu. It seems that he is a collateral branch of the Yao family. He is not a big man. Master Lang has discovered something."
"Yao family?" Meng Dalang frowned even deeper. Kashgar was originally under the management of Nandian, so he naturally knew the Yao family in Kashgar. He also heard that the new policy was implemented during the Great Jin Dynasty. , can be regarded as infinite scenery.
The Yao family didn't seem to have anything to do with it, but for some reason, he always felt a little uneasy. He recalled all the things that happened in recent days, but he didn't find anything that he had overlooked. Obviously everything was fine, but so The instinct of licking blood with the tip of a knife for many years still made him feel uneasy, and even gave birth to the idea of going back.
But looking up at the city of Kashgar in front of him, the thought dissipated by seven points. If he regained Kashgar tonight, he would be a brave man in Nandian. After destroying Anaang's vigor, Nandian's morale was greatly improved. Not to mention prestige, it is even more beneficial to the hearts of the people. Nandian has always respected the strong, and when he succeeds to Da'an, it will be the destiny and the people's will!
Thinking of this, he lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said sharply: "Pick up your spirits, show me your tricks, keep your movements quiet, and when things are done tonight, there will be rewards for everything! Good meat and good wine!" There will be no brothers."
Meng Dalang's team was attacking at night, so they chose a remote path. The weeds on both sides of the road were as high as a person, and horses had to raise their heads slightly when walking in it, let alone soldiers in heavy armor. After walking for a while, everyone is already a little tired, but they still need to work hard.
Kashgar City is built on the mountain, and the city wall is built in an arc shape and extends to both sides to connect the mountains, forming a unique barrier. The city wall is firmly built and it will be difficult to capture it without a siege engine. So from the beginning Meng Dalang didn't intend to attack the city, and the strong attack would only lead to a stalemate. At that time, Xiao Changyu would be given a chance to breathe, and it would be really stupid to kill a carbine.
The construction of the city wall needs to fit the scale of the mountain, so the city walls on both sides of the mountain in Hengjie are the weakest point, and it is also the best place to start.
When a group of people appeared on the side of the mountain, as Meng Dalang guessed, there were indeed no guards around the city and the lights were not lit. It was dark and quiet, and the whistling wind blinded his eyes. Crazy, then got off the horse but didn't get close to the city wall, just looked at it for a while and said in a deep voice: "Do it!"
The soldiers behind him quickly took out guns, and arranged them in stacks under the corner of the wall. After a while, the guns were neatly piled up in their hands, and then they quickly took out the fire pockets and lit the gun fuses in unison, and then they turned over one by one. Jump out of the explosive range.
The firepower of this kind of ground bomb is not very strong, but because of the weakness of the city wall, it can be exploded when the amount is superimposed. The lead wire is not long and burns quickly. When the sparks went out, there was a "bang" explosion, and a loud bang resounded through the sky, instantly shattering all the tranquility of the night, and people in Kashgar City had already heard the sound and turned on the lights one after another.
The scarlet fire was accompanied by the sound of the explosion and mixed with thick black smoke. At the same time, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, quickly and fiercely. The shroud is as bright as day, clearly illuminating the details of every corner, but the white light is fleeting.
Everything that happened in front of me was between lightning and flint. In an instant, the crackling sound stopped, and the fire and lightning also stopped in response. Without light, the heaven and earth merged into one again, and everything in the world was still shrouded in darkness, and the wind was blowing. As he spoke, there was a burst of moisture in the air, and it felt moist on his face.
When the people guarding the city heard the sound, they all stood up and looked at the place where the sound came from, as if they were stunned.
"boom"!
Immediately afterwards, there was another cracking sound, and the black smoke and flames that came out were far better than the first one just now. The apprentice of the veteran guard rubbed his eyes, pointed at that place in disbelief and asked, "Master...Master ...that...that is Dongshan...the direction of Dongshan..."
The old soldier stared at the ugly face, frowning tightly, hung the knife back to his waist in a hurry, and ran desperately to the upstairs, every step was extremely big and almost tripped over, After stabilizing his body, he staggered up the tower without caring about others, his fingers couldn't stop shaking, and after holding it several times, he picked up the drumstick and beat the drum with all his strength, shouting in a trembling voice, "Someone is attacking the city, be on guard, be on guard!"
When the sound of the drum came from the city gate, there was only a faint sound, which was not loud but could be heard clearly by everyone. Meng Dalang's expression remained unchanged, his eyes were fixed in front of him, and he waited until the last bundle of guns burst open. , the city wall in front of him collapsed and raised a large amount of dust, and the air was filled with the smell of ** and dust, which was pungent and unpleasant.
Meng Dalang got on his horse, pulled out the scimitar from the scabbard hanging on the horse's belly, pointed at the front and raised it high, and said sharply: "Go into the city!"
After the words fell, the Nandian soldiers raised their weapons to the sky and roared three times in unison, "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The mournful roar in the crowd shocked the sky. Meng Dalang got on his horse first, and the soldiers behind him followed closely behind. Ma Xiaoxiao stepped over the ruins of the collapsed wall with his horseshoes, leaving behind a mess of footsteps, revealing the truth. The biggest show of the night.
The dark Nandian soldiers poured into the city, the crowd was scattered, crying, screaming and calling for help from all directions. The originally dark city of Kashgar was blown up by several thunderbolts, and suddenly woke up, and the guns attacked the wall and rose. The billowing smoke filled the sky, the sky was darkened by the black smoke, and the night wind was blowing, making the Nandian soldiers in black armor look like deadly messengers from hell. With a ferocious face and ruthless gaze, just one glance can arouse deep panic in the hearts of the people.
Meng Dalang looked at the panic-stricken Kashgar people with an extremely crazy expression. He drew out the big knife of the soldier beside him and threw it at a running middle-aged man. The blade pierced his chest from the back and splashed blood on the ground. Before the man could even turn around to see what his murderer looked like, he fell heavily to the ground.
The strong smell of blood and blood mixed with each other, filled the air, was scattered by the wind, and fell into the noses of everyone. It was pungent and unpleasant. The twisted Da Jin dialect, with a strong evil spirit, "Surrender, don't kill, offenders, die!"
This sentence was like a password, and the Nandian infantrymen followed suit, raising their weapons high and making a loud noise. Although they wore heavy armor, they moved extremely fast, rushing towards the crowd like a few black shadows, billowing smoke and dust, piercing their hearts. The roar and the tip of the knife glowing with cold light, when he was cutting towards the person, he was blinded by the sudden flash of light, and the Nandian soldiers subconsciously turned their heads to avoid it. In the blink of an eye, the situation changed drastically. Suddenly someone pulled out a dagger from his cuff, and slashed hard at the Nandian soldier's neck. Warm blood sprayed out, killing him without leaving a chance to breathe.
The situation changed suddenly, the soldiers of Qianhusuo who were mixed in the crowd showed their true colors, Meng Dalang realized that something was wrong, his expression changed, he was really murderous, he had to take Kashgar city down before the Xiaoqi battalion arrived, his face Vicious and vicious, he commanded sharply, "Shoot the arrow, and no one will be left alive."
The archers made their preparations early, and after receiving the orders, they lined up and put the rockets stained with kerosene on the bows. After aiming, they opened the bows and released the arrows with a "swoosh". The rain of arrows covered the sky and covered the sky like fireballs. A flash of fire flashed across the sky, and the arrows fell on the beams of the haystack house. The zero-point fire spread, and the entire Kashgar city was illuminated by the fire, with a different kind of beauty.
Arrows are as dense as locusts passing through wave after wave without leaving a single gap. As long as the sparks touch the clothes, the flames will immediately wrap the person like a fireball. Someone fell down, and it was hard to tell whether it was the people in the city or the soldiers of the Thousand Households. They shouted shrilly and hoarsely begged for help. Under the blazing flames, the whole Kashgar was shrouded in such tragic breath and cries, like purgatory.
And Meng Dalang, who was on the horse, looked at the scene in front of him, heard all kinds of voices in his ears, and the expression on his face enjoyed the feeling of trampling others. He raised his knife and stabbed it into the abdomen of a Kashgar citizen, holding the knife tightly. The handle turned vigorously, and then pulled out violently, blood sprayed all over his body, and the smell of blood made Meng Dalang's emotions soar, he kicked the warm corpse away, and shouted loudly: "The man who killed Kashgar , the women and the city of Dajin are ours!"
There was another violent attack while speaking, the soldiers of Qianhusuo went forward but were outnumbered and fell behind.
The attack did not stop, and the fire grew bigger and bigger.
The number of arrows was more than that at the beginning. When the situation was about to settle down, at this critical moment, a strong wind suddenly blew up the wind, sand and dust that made people unable to open their eyes. The scene became panicked, and the horses As if disturbed, he raised his front hooves high and hissed. Meng Dalang covered his eyes with the back of his hand and shouted in a deep voice, "What are you panicking about? Go ahead and bring the bow and arrow."
The latter sentence was addressed to the subordinate beside him. The latter untied the bow on his back and handed it over. Meng Dalang took it and sat on the horse and fully drew the bow. The arrow shot straight up at a tower. A veteran of the drum, he closed one eye, sneered at the corner of his lips, and then let go of his index finger, and the arrow flew out, but in an instant, it crossed the crowd and reached the veteran. The momentum was like a broken bamboo, and before anyone could react, he had already arrived in front of the veteran. He held the drumstick and stood there, his pupils dilated, and his feet were stuck in place. Getting closer and closer to him, suddenly, a figure jumped out and threw himself in front of him, a sharp arrow pierced straight into his heart, red blood sprayed out, and the old soldier screamed , "Gangzi!"
Meng Dalang opened his eyes and took a look, let out a disdain, and then fired two arrows, much faster and fiercer than the first arrow, at this critical moment, a long sword flew from a distance, As fast as the wind, the sword aura lingered and the sword tip pierced through the middle of the arrow, and the arrow fell to the ground. The speed was reached in an instant, he held the hilt of the long sword in mid-air and drew a few sword flowers, standing high on the tower, the armor on his body reflected the flames below the tower.
With a "bang", the beacon tower on the side of the city tower burned into black charcoal and collapsed, raising smoke and sparks all over the sky and blurring the whole world. The man turned around, his face was hidden behind the dust and sparks, and he couldn't see clearly. Meng Dalang raised his head, squinted his eyes and stared at the unexpected guest, secretly counting, but asked calmly on his face: "Who is your Excellency?"
Qi Ran pointed his sword at the person below, his gaze was like a torch, and the cloak behind him was blown away by the strong wind, he raised his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The person who wants your life."
While speaking, he tapped his toes on the ground and jumped down the tower lightly. The blade of the sword reflected the firelight and struck in the dark night, his whole body seemed to be in flames.
"It's a big tone, it depends on whether you have the ability," Meng Dalang sneered, and waved his hand, "Fire the arrow!"
The soldiers on the side changed directions and pointed their bows and arrows at Qi Ran. The arrow rain formed a black cloud and flew towards Qi Ran. The arrow fell from the sky, like a falling meteor crashing down on the ground, Qi Ran turned his head to avoid an arrow, and the hair that had been cut off from the sideburns was floating in the air, his thin lips were tightly pursed, Then he leaned back and hooked the arrow feathers with his toes, and lightly picked the arrow. The arrow changed direction and kicked hard again. The arrow contained the internal force he poured into it and shot towards the person on the horse quickly, like lightning. It can be avoided, splitting the crowd and forcibly breaking a way.
Meng Dalang opened his eyes wide, and the approaching arrows were reflected in his pupils. His eyes sank and he pulled his subordinate aside to stand in front of him. Before he could open his mouth, he felt the arrow sticking into his chest. Before the tingling pain came and the consciousness dissipated, what he saw was Meng Dalang's ruthless gaze.
Throwing away the corpse in front of him, Meng Dalang stared at the person standing in front. Although he didn't know the identity of this person, he knew that this person was not a good person, and said in a deep voice: "I don't care if you belong to Anaang. People are still Xiao Changyu's people, and how long you can last even if you are strong in martial arts, I will accept your life today, grandpa!"
"If you want to take his life, you have to ask me if I agree first." Another voice came with a smile.
Hearing the sound, Meng Dalang turned his head abruptly, and suddenly realized that just when he was attracted by Qi Ran, the old soldier opened the city gate at some point, and the sound came from outside the city, and the door opened wider and wider , the bumping sound of the heavy armor and the hissing of the horses gradually became clear, a team rushed in with uniform steps, their military boots were dusty on the ground, and the armor on them was from the frontier army and the Xiaoqi battalion. People with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that it is just an army composed of the Xiaoqi Battalion and the Frontier Army. In front of the team is Ji Si standing on a horse. Reflecting the white light on and off, Lin's face became more and more beautiful, but there was no warmth in his eyes.
"Ji, Si." Meng Dalang stared at him with fierce eyes, and slowly uttered the man's name, as if he wanted to bite these two words into his mouth and swallow them into his stomach.
"Lord Lao Lang is thinking about it, it's here." Ji Si smiled and cupped his fists at him.
There were hurried and complicated footsteps behind him, and Meng Dalang took a look out of the corner of his eye, and found that the retreat was blocked by soldiers from the Qianhusuo who rushed over. There were wolves in front and tigers in the back. They were now the prey in the encirclement. Fleeing, the situation suddenly changed again. If Meng Dalang still can't see the problem here, he is really an idiot.
He grabbed the scimitar and shouted sharply: "You lie to me!"
Ji Si ignored him, and slowly rode up to Qi Ran's side, looking down at him, seeing that there was only a little blood on his face, and it was nothing serious, his hanging heart relaxed, and then he shifted his gaze to Meng Qiran. Dalang raised his eyebrows: "It's not deceitful, it's just a trick. As a military commander, the Lord has heard people attacking others and catching a turtle in a jar. It's not a coincidence that you are the turtle now."
"Hahahaha," Meng Dalang laughed while looking up to the sky, the strong wind rolled up the dark clouds, and his hair was blown away. Years ago, I never imagined that one day I would be tricked by the two young boys who had just grown hair, I was careless, I was careless, but..."
When he said this, he paused for a moment, then continued with a smile on his lips, "The only one who wins tonight is me!"
After the words fell, Meng Dalang took out a bone flute from his pocket and blew it in his mouth. The ear-piercing sound hurt everyone's ears and resounded in every corner. After the sound stopped, Meng Dalang took a pair of winning cards. Looking at Ji Si with a gripping expression, he laughed and said, "Ji Si, although you and I have no enmity, it's better for you to die."
Ji Si picked out his ears and yawned, "Isn't the Lord waiting for reinforcements?"
Hearing this, Meng Dalang's smile froze on his face, feeling uneasy in his heart, he subconsciously looked outside the dark city, and as expected, he heard Ji Si smirk and said in the next sentence: "They can't come."
Long before the Mundaran troops entered Kashgar City, Rela led people to infiltrate around the camp of the frontier army. There was only some faint light around the camp. A small group of people was guarding, and it seemed very quiet, so Rela's team took control of the frontier army's camp very smoothly and easily along the way. He frowned as he watched the captured frontier army, and said in a low voice : "Be quicker and quicker."
After finishing speaking, the crowd surrounded Alumanlei's camp, holding their breath and waiting for Rela's instructions. The latter raised his eyes to look at the gloomy weather, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the wind roared with a sense of oppression. He looked at it for a while, licked his lips, and raised his hand to signal for action. A group of people got the order, opened the curtain and rushed in. The camp was dark and dark, and the curtain was raised, letting in a glimmer of light, so that everyone could clearly see the person sleeping on the bed. The figure, Rela held up the knife and slashed at the figure heavily. When the blade touched the bedding, the person on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and turned over.
