History of Yongwu

Chapter 362 The Battle of Mutuo

The mountains at the western foot of Mount Hun are criss-crossed and chaotic. Although there are no strange peaks so steep that there are few people, there is no way for the army to pass through. It has always been used as a natural line of defense. It stands in the west of Liaocheng. Except for a few beacon towers, no one takes special care of it.

Kong Shi personally led the guards and led the way ahead, no one noticed here, he had never been here before, but since the prime minister wanted to visit, he naturally had to accept orders.Xue Fu is very trusted by His Majesty, and he went straight to Zhao Shangshu in the court, and no one can neglect him.

"Wait a minute" Du Xuetang said suddenly, pointed to the side and said, "Where does this lead to?"

Uh... Kong Shi's embarrassment appeared on his face. The lieutenant beside him looked at him, stepped forward and said respectfully, "Return to the Prime Minister, this is a gap that just appeared when the rocks collapsed recently. I don't know where it leads?"

"Map" Du Xuetang's face changed slightly.

The guard beside him immediately handed over the map, and he lowered his head and frowned carefully for a while, then put away the map and looked at Kong Shi.

"General Kong, I want two sentry cavalry to come with me"

"Where is the prime minister going?"

Du Xuetang raised his eyebrows and solemnly said "That's right"

"The last general will personally escort the prime minister," Kong Shi said as he motioned his subordinates to wait on the spot.

Du Xuetang didn't say much, turned around and walked towards the collapsed mountain pass, Kong Shi frowned, and jumped forward with his horse's belly, if the weak prime minister was injured here, he would be hard to explain.

Passing through the damaged mountain peak, half a quarter of an hour later, the two came to a small valley, which was very dark because it was closed all year round and no one visited it.

Du Xuetang looked around, his eyes moved slightly, and he galloped towards the other side of the valley gently, Kong Shi looked at this place, also very surprised, came back to see that he had already left, and hurriedly chased after him.

"Prime Minister, there are few people in this place, I'm afraid there are beasts, let's go back." Kong Shi followed him to persuade him.

"There are no beasts here." Du Xuetang got off his horse and hid in one place, pointing to the distance and said, "Where do you think it is?"

Kong Shi got off his horse and stood beside him, took a step forward, looked in the direction, his face suddenly changed, "Liaocheng!"

"That's right." Du Xuetang stared there, his eyes were cold and calm, and he said seriously, "Kong Shi, immediately mobilize all the city defenders around Liao City, and follow the truth to attack Ulun at night."

"All?" Kong Shi was taken aback, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate for the prime minister to do so, so let's report it to His Majesty!"

"The truth has His Majesty's golden decree, and those who violate it will be punished by defying the decree." Du Xuetang jumped on the horse, pulled the rein, and left quickly.

I used to admire Fu Yusi because King Wu could do everything for him. When I looked at the ring and counted the past, I realized that I had been so favored long ago.

There is a kind of love in this world, which is so intense that it makes people mesmerized, like Wu Wang and Fu Yusi, and there is another kind of love, like you, who is silent but always protects me.

I shouldn't have questioned you impulsively. Times have changed, so it's too unreasonable to make trouble, trying to embarrass you and me.I heard it, there is too much unwillingness hidden in your miss.Lord, I have been deeply loved by you, and you still treat me tenderly until now, fulfilling my life.

Starting from today, I will come to fulfill you, I don't want you to leave the slightest bit of unwillingness, just start from the thousands of miles of desert and the barbarians!

The night sky was vast and full of stars, Du Xuetang looked up and pulled the reins.

"rush!"

At the foot of Mt. Hunchun, the screams became smaller and smaller. The Northern Army, with its superior strength, surrounded Wulun by surprise. Under the dark night, people on the battlefield could no longer see anything except the cold light reflected from the scimitar and sword.

"Ah... Han people!" With a deep roar, Uren cut the enemy in half with a single knife, stared at the front, and drew out his longbow.

Shh... The black feathers were hidden in the darkness, and the arrow feathers had already arrived in front of him when they heard the sound of breaking wind.puff!The long arrow pierced through the body, Du Xuetang was knocked off the horse, and fell heavily to the ground.

"Prime Minister!" Kong Shi's expression changed immediately, and he stared fiercely at that side

"General Kong... Kong" Du Xuetang held his chest tightly, and quickly said, "Notify Your Majesty, to attack Mutuo City"

When it was dark, Du Xuetang passed out, Yue Hong helped him up, and immediately called for a military doctor, Kong Shi's cheeks trembled, he turned around, and rushed towards Wu Lun with a whip.

"Order to take Uren's head"

As the prime minister, his life and death were unknown, if he couldn't kill Wu Lun, even if Kong Shi was dull, he knew that His Majesty would definitely be furious.

Huyan Daying

"Report!" The sentry cavalry rushed into the camp in panic, "Yong's army passed through the western foot of Mount Hun and concentrated their forces to besiege General Ulun, who has already died in battle."

Hu Yantai's complexion changed, his eyelids twitched, he gave him a gloomy look, and suddenly drew out his sword.Pfft, the sentry rider fell to the ground because he didn't understand.

"Your Majesty!" Batu exclaimed.

"Command" Hu Yantai interrupted him, looked at him and said, "Concentrate our forces and storm Xuancheng."

Batu looked at him hesitantly, without moving his footsteps, Hu Yantai met his gaze, and his expression finally became a little loose.

"Batu, the only way to retreat now is to die. Only by storming Xuancheng and temporarily deceiving the Han people will there be a chance of survival."

"Batu Takes Order"

The curtain of the camp tent was lifted, Hu Yantai stared at the top of Xuancheng city, and suddenly fell to the side in desperation.

Xuancheng

The late setting sun did not lessen the shouts of killing, and the Hu people fought hard for several hours without a trace of fatigue. In my impression, this was the most tragic battle in Xuancheng.

Qin Yu didn't know what Hu Yantai had promised, and the barbarians rushed towards the city wall one after another like crazy. The raging army gathered together and kept rushing towards the city. With his palm on the top of the city, he seemed to feel the trembling of the thick city wall. .

Am I too conceited, so I am self-defeating.

The sun finally set behind Qi Shan, and the light dimmed. The barbarian's offensive continued unabated. Round after round of sieges, the soldiers on the city were exhausted, and the arms holding the bows trembled faintly.

"Your Majesty, the last general leads the army out of the city to repel the barbarians." Wang Meng couldn't help but stepped forward, the barbarians looked as if they were going to fight until dawn.

"No" Qin Yu raised his hand to interrupt, looking at the black army of Hu people under the city, "Don't go out of the city" Hu Yantai may be looking forward to leaving the city by himself.

The light disappeared little by little, Qin Yu felt such torment for the first time, for a long time, almost at the same time as the light disappeared, the horn sounded, and the barbarians finally retreated.

With his shoulders relaxed, Qin Yu broke out in a cold sweat. He breathed a sigh of relief, turned around calmly, and said to Wang Meng, "Strengthen your patrol and beware of night attacks by barbarians."

"Yes" Wang Meng strode away.

Qin Yu glanced at it, then slowly left the city wall, his foot slipped, and he leaned forward.

"Your Majesty" Li Han supported him, and looked at His Majesty the Emperor in surprise.

I really live more and more useless, isn't it just a siege! "I'm fine," Qin Yu said in a low voice, and walked away quickly with his hands behind his back.

Xuancheng in April was still full of chills. At night, the cold wind howled in the camp. After drinking the medicine, Qin Yu lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. In his dream, there were all the crowing of gold and iron horses.

The offensive during the day was too fierce, and in the barracks, except for the necessary guards, there was no sound of snoring.Outside the south city gate, a sentry cavalry rushed to the barracks with a golden order in hand.

"who!"

"I am Yue Hong, I have something important to meet with His Majesty"

Koshihiro?Hearing his voice, Wang Meng immediately greeted him, "General Yue, but something happened to Liao City." Today's incident is vivid in my mind, if it is true that Liao City lost, it can be described as a catastrophe.

"No." Yue Hong looked at him and said, "Ulun is dead, and the Hu people in Liao City have been defeated."

Wang Meng stopped abruptly, was shocked for a moment, and ran to the "Your Majesty" of the Chinese army's big tent, he pushed the door open.

"Who?" Qin Yu sat up all of a sudden, and after seeing the person clearly, he clenched his palms and said, "Did Huyantai attack the city?"

"Ulun died in battle, and the danger of Liao City was resolved"

Boom!Qin Yu jumped onto the ground with bare feet, and ran out of the tent in a few steps. When he saw Yue Hong, he suddenly laughed in a low voice, and the laughter became louder and louder.

Brother Huyan, I was almost intimidated by you!

"Wang Meng" he squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the north with coldness, "The whole army is attacking Mutuo City"

"Yes"

Outside Xuancheng City, Qin Yu was riding on a horse, flanked by the Northern Cavalry standing ready for attack. He looked at the darkness at the end of the sky, and suddenly a flash of excitement flashed through his heart, as if many years ago, the first time he was forced to be strong.

"Xue Xiang and Kong Shi have already rushed to Huyan City?" He asked clearly with his eyes shining.

"That's right," Yue Hong replied, glanced at him and said, "The prime minister used tricks to annihilate Ulun's army, but I...was injured by Ulun."

Listening to his tone, Qin Yu frowned, and asked in a low tone, "Is it serious?"

"This..." Yue Hong didn't know how to answer.

"Zhong Xing!" Qin Yu didn't use him to answer, and directly ordered, "Go to Liaocheng with Yue Hong immediately, I want the prime minister to be safe and sound."

Yue Hong opened his mouth and caught sight of His Majesty's expression. For some reason, he didn't dare to persuade him. He immediately took orders and left with Zhong Xing.

The north wind blew through the battle armor and flapped the cloak. Qin Yu listened to the trembling iron hooves, and ruthlessly pumped his war horse.

Xuetang, you'll be fine, if I can still gallop across the battlefield, then you'll be fine too.

Mutuo City is no longer what it was in the first place. The towering city walls and rigorous towers, as a transfer point for businessmen from the two countries, and the peace of the past ten years have made Mutuo City one of the largest cities in Hudi.

Outside the south city gate, Qin Yu was riding on a horse, pulling the rein, and looking at the city in front of him strangely.

"Your Majesty" Wang Meng came back from an investigation, "There seems to be no barbarian army in the city"

No?His eyebrows were tightened, he thought for a while and said, "Take people into the city carefully."

Wang Meng nodded, and led a small northern border army into Mutuo City cautiously.The gate was open and the street was clean, but there was no one there. Wang Meng entered slowly, and could see the people hiding in the house and peeping secretly, but there was no sign of an ambush.

"Scatter the sentries and inspect the places carefully"

Half an hour later, Wang Meng sent someone out of the city to report back, "Return to Your Majesty, the Huyan army has retreated, and there are only a few people in the city, most of them are Han merchants."

"Yeah" nodded, Qin Yu still had doubts in his heart.

When the army entered the city, Qin Yu climbed to the top of the city and looked to the north, still thinking about Hu Yantai's abnormality, when footsteps came from behind him, Li Han stood behind him.

"Your Majesty, there is not a single grain of grain in the city. According to the reports of the local Han people, the Hu people had seized all the grain and salaries as early as half a month ago, and the city has been out of grain for three or four days."

"Three or four days!" Qin Yu looked at him in surprise, then smiled.

The food and wages are cut off, and you are still fighting hard with Dayong, brother Huyan, why are you doing this?No wonder you gave up this important town in the Northland, it turns out that you can no longer hold this place.

"Immediately let Wang Meng lead the Chinese army to pursue Huyantai, and the rest of the people rest overnight, and tomorrow we will go straight to Huyan City."

"Yes" Li Han immediately took the order and left.

Qin Yu turned his gaze back, the field is empty, the grass has not yet sprouted green shoots, it is still withered and yellow, the snow has receded, and the north wind blows up waves of yellow sand.

Raising his hand to press his chest, Qin Yu smiled helplessly. Fortunately, Hu Yantai was eager, otherwise, if the war resumed ten years later, he might not even be able to climb the horseback, and the outcome would be different.

"I'm still a bit unwilling!" Qin Yu murmured softly, pulling his cloak and leaving.

After several days of hard fighting and thousands of miles of raids, even the elite army of the northern border still had a bit of slack. After nightfall, only soldiers guarded the city gates and towers, ignoring the patrolling of the enemy city.The stars lit up, and the people who had been hiding in the house, who had been cowering all the time, quietly walked onto the street, looked at each other, and dispersed tacitly.

On the tower, the soldiers watched the wilderness cautiously, guarding against the barbarians who came suddenly, but they were suddenly startled by the fire behind them.Almost instantly, Mutuo City was on fire everywhere, and in a panic, a small group of 'common people' tore off their cowardly camouflage, drew their weapons, and rushed towards the city gate.

boom!The wooden door was knocked open, and Li Han ran directly to the bedside, "Your Majesty, the city is on fire, and I will escort you away."

Um?Qin Yu didn't know why, but fell into a deep sleep, and his dazed eyes saw the flames before regaining consciousness.

"His Majesty?"

"Li Han" Qin Yu looked up at him, "Someone is attacking the city"

"There are secrets left in the city, the north gate is under attack, I will immediately escort you away from the south gate." Li Han said as he lifted him up and pulled his cloak to cover him, "Offending Your Majesty"

Qin Yu was held up and pulled to the door before he said, "Go to the north gate!"

"Huh? Yes!" Li Han hesitated for a moment, and immediately took him away.

The fire at the north gate was the brightest and the chaos was extreme. Qin Yu looked at Xuancheng in the seventh year of Yonghe, when Jiang Zhengwen stood in front of him and escaped the catastrophe.

"Your Majesty, it's difficult to pass through here." Li Han stood in front of him and looked around cautiously.

"There must be an ambush at the south gate." Qin Yu looked around, gritted his teeth and said, "Blow the trumpet, gather the soldiers, and break through the north gate."

"Your Majesty!" Li Han snorted, and pressed the horn next to him, "It's too dangerous for everyone to know that His Majesty is here."

Snatching the horn, Qin Yu looked at Li Han, "I am the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, not a waste!"

Woo... The long horn sounded, echoing above Mutuo City, and Dayong soldiers subconsciously looked there.

"The emperor of the Han people is over there!" Someone shouted.

puff!With a flicker of the knife light, it pierced into the chest, the man quickly fell silent, and a small schoolmaster tightened his sword tightly, his expression excited.

"Protect Your Majesty" he shouted, leading the soldiers under his command, rushing towards the north gate.

The sound of the loud horn reawakened the loyalty and bravery of the northern border army, and the Dayong army gradually calmed down and slowly gathered.

"Horse" Qin Yu pulled his cloak and straightened his back.

"Your Majesty" Li Han still wanted to persuade him, but His Majesty the Emperor had already jumped on his horse.

He leaned over to pick up someone's saber beside him, and pulled it out with a clang. Qin Yu looked at the flashing blade of the sword, squinted his eyes and shouted "Break through the city gate", and he rushed out first.

Could it be that I am full of evil, so I have to take back even this bit of fun, I am not reconciled!I learned riding and archery at the age of ten, and joined the army as a young man. I broke through so many cities and wiped out countless enemies. I don't believe it!

The iron cavalry broke through the city gate, Qin Yu felt the wind blowing across his cheeks, looked at the stars on the top of the mountain, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly!

Shhhhhhh!

"Your Majesty!" Li Han whispered.

The stars were spinning all over the sky, turning into light curtains, Qin Yu looked up and laughed at himself.

I am still too confident, no matter whether I am willing or not, some things will eventually slip away, like riding a horse, like hunting in winter, like people I can never forget in my memory.
