Chapter 827: Sunrise in the East (52)
He Lanxiong selected more than a thousand of the most capable cavalry, put on the uniforms of the high-vehicle troops, mixed in among them, and galloped towards the Holy City. The other tribesmen, together with the bandits, closely pursued them. Behind him, fight all the way to the Holy City
Mo Yanhe stood on the tower of the Holy City. First he saw thick dust billowing in the distance, covering the sky and the sun. Then he saw the palace guards headed by Pintuo and Gao Che's men in front. They were galloping towards where they were on horseback, but less than a few miles behind them, there were thousands of cavalrymen, holding the banner of the Eastern Conquest Army, chasing them all the way.
The distance between the two sides was so close that Mo Yanhe's expression changed. He pulled out the scimitar from his waist and shouted angrily: "Follow me out of the city and cover the prince's entry!"
The gates of the Holy City were opened wide, and Mo Yanhe personally led three thousand palace guards to rush out of the city. The three thousand palace guards divided into two groups and rushed towards the Eastern Expeditionary Army, but left the passage facing the city gate. So that Gao Che and others can take Suo'etu into the city.
"Gaoche, you take the prince into the city first. I will go with General Mo Yanhe to charge and kill them for a while. After we kill these bandits, we will come back." Seeing Mo Yanhe rushing out of the city, Pintuo reined in his horse. He took the reins, said hello to the high chariot, and led his men back to follow Mo Yanhe towards the pursuers behind him.
Gao Che was secretly happy and shouted, "Don't worry. After I enter the city, I will immediately organize troops to defend and prevent them from taking advantage of it."
Pinto whizzed away. I don’t know if he heard Gao Che’s words.
Thousands of cavalry led by Ye Feng, He Lanjie, and Mu Gulu collided head-on with Mo Yanhe and Pintuo's palace guards. Tens of thousands of cavalry attacked each other with an astonishing momentum. In an instant, I don’t know how many people fell off their horses and how many people died?
No matter whether you are willing or not, whether you want to fight or not, in this kind of battle. Individuals are always pushed by the group, and they can't help but step forward, swing their swords, and keep making mechanical movements until you are hit and fall off the horse.
The palace guards are the leaders of Donghu. But most of He Lanxiong's cavalry were also composed of Huns cavalry, and they were the first group of people to follow Gao Yuan. Compared with the palace guards in terms of fighting will and fighting skills. Not much inferior, and the cavalry selected from the tens of thousands of bandits are all desperadoes. The number of both sides is about the same. At this time, the will to fight is also almost the same. Under this confrontation, they are matched with their opponents. You will meet good talents. In an instant, the killing was inextricable
The tens of thousands of bandit infantry commanded by Niu Teng did not stop because of the chaos of the cavalry and took up their positions. They shouted wildly, waving fine or shabby weapons in their hands, and rushed towards the holy city.
Mo Yanhe was trapped in the battlefield, and suddenly realized that he had made some miscalculations. He originally thought that he would lead the palace guards to attack and just force the opponent to retreat. Then we can safely retreat into the city, knowing that this enemy army is so tenacious. Just like brown sugar, you can't get away if you stick to it.
At this time, he just wanted to retreat, but he couldn't help it. If he couldn't completely defeat this enemy cavalry, there would be no way to retreat. There was no way to retreat.
The troops in the high carriage rushed into the Holy City. Of course, beside him was He Lanxiong who finally breathed a sigh of relief and had a proud smile on his face. The matter was settled.
He raised the scimitar in his hand and shouted loudly, "Kill!"
Accompanied by his cry of killing, more than a thousand cavalrymen of the Eastern Expeditionary Army who followed him into the city took action at the same time, divided into several small teams, and slashed at the unprepared city defenders with their swords.
Gao Che swallowed hard. Now that the matter has come to this, there is no room for him to hesitate or regret. He felt confused. He had already achieved this step anyway. He might as well do it more thoroughly. He also raised his knife and struck a blow. He shouted: "My sons, kill me and seize the city!"
Outside the city, Mo Yanhe, who was in the middle of a fierce battle, suddenly heard a huge noise coming from the direction of the Holy City. His heart trembled. When he turned around to look, although the huge city wall blocked his sight, it could not stop the shocking sound. The sky screamed for death, and on the city wall, there were jumping figures, flashing sword lights, and flying arrows everywhere. However, the bandits who crossed the cavalry battlefield and rushed towards the Holy City followed the wide-open windows without any hindrance. The city gate burst into the holy city
Mo Yanhe's heart felt as if he had been hit hard by a sledgehammer, and he was stunned.
"how so?"
"how so?"
On the top of the city, a big man jumped onto the tower. With a flash of his sword, the Donghu flag fluttered down. Immediately afterwards, a flag of the Eastern Conquest Army was put up. On the battlefield, tens of thousands of bandits and the Eastern Conquest Army cavalry were seen. They cheered in unison, but the palace guards were flustered. For a moment, they hadn't figured out the situation yet. Well, why did the Holy City suddenly change hands?
High car! Mo Yanhe suddenly shouted
"High car!" When he yelled again, a mouthful of blood had already spurted out.
Gaoche turned against the enemy, and like Agu Huaien, he defected to the Eastern Expeditionary Army. The little prince Suo'etu fell into the hands of the other party. They came to make money from the city.
"Kill them back, fight them back, kill them all, and take back the holy city!" Mo Yanhe went crazy, turned his horse's head, and ran towards the city gate.
He Lanxiong stood on the top of the city tower, watching Mo Yanhe rush back with great joy. If Mo Yanhe still had some sense at this time, he should not have come back, but should have led his thousands of palace guards to break through the siege. This is the only way out, they still have a way to survive, but after entering the city, how much stronger can the palace guard be compared to an ordinary soldier? The narrow terrain is enough to make him useless, as long as he can enter the city. When they come to the city, even if they have a pile, they can still be piled to death.
The city gate opened wide, and Mo Yanhe rushed into the city. Behind him were his palace guards and the cavalry and bandits of the Eastern Conquest Army who were strangled with them.
In the Holy City, every street, every house, and every corner was filled with shouts of killing, and soldiers from both sides wielding swords and guns desperately. From noon to late at night, and then from late at night to dawn, for a whole day and night, the Holy City The shouts of killing in the city gradually stopped. Ye Feng walked to the tower with a bloody knife and said, "Commander, those bandits are burning, killing, raping, and looting in the city. You have to take care of them." Forget it, the palace guards in the city have basically been eliminated."
However, He Lanxiong waved his hand indifferently, "Let them grab it as long as they want to, and they didn't rob the official treasury. Just hold the official treasury in their hands."
Seeing Ye Feng's dumbfounded look, He Lanxiong continued to explain: "These gangsters are afraid of poverty and are crazy about poverty. At this time, they are red-blooded and don't let them vent their anger. Maybe something will happen, and everyone on the left and right may It belongs to the Donghu people, so we don’t feel bad about it. By the way, has Mo Yanhe taken it?”
"Surrounded, He Lanjie, Gao Che and the others are launching the final attack! Don't you go and take a look?" Ye Feng asked
"What's so good to see!" He Lanxiong chuckled. "Ye Feng, you said you were inferior in this battle and made your first contribution. When the time comes to report the merit, I will list you first."
After hearing this, Ye Feng's face turned gloomy, "No, Commander, please put He Lanmin and my brothers at Jiepukou at the front. Without their sacrifices, where would I be? Talk about lowering the car." , It is not so much my ability, but rather the credit given to me by the commander. Anyone can force Gaoche to surrender in this matter."
"No, that's not what you said." He Lanxiong shook his head, "Only your identity can make Gao Che put aside his doubts. Now that Gao Che's road is dead, he can only rely on us, this person. In the future, you can win over him more. With you, The previous friendship, as well as your identity, with Gao Che's intelligence, will definitely cling to you tightly. You must make good use of this. Gao Che is our key to containing Mu Gulu and Agu Huai'en in the future. Chess pieces. In the future, Donghu will never allow them to be unified under one banner."
"I understand." Ye Feng nodded, "Although I have some disdain for this guy, he has made great contributions to our Eastern Army. I won't embarrass him."
"That's right, the governor often said that if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the people are clear, there will be no disciples. No matter what his character is, if it is beneficial to our Eastern Army, it is good, and it is worth our efforts. Come to win over them." He Lanxiong patted Ye Feng on the shoulder, "You learned quickly, your sister must be very pleased."
He Lanxiong hesitated for a moment, but still did not tell Ye Feng about Langya. Ye Jing'er was in Langya, and if Ye Feng knew about it, it would probably make him worried.
The two of them looked at the Donghu Holy City in flames in silence. The shouts of killing in the city occasionally rang out, but the situation had generally returned to calm.
Mu Gulu walked up to the city and walked in front of He Lanxiong. Seeing this person, Ye Feng frowned and bowed his hands to He Lanxiong. He instinctively disliked this person.
Mu Gulu didn't know Ye Feng, and he didn't know how important his identity was. He didn't take it seriously when he saw a young officer saying goodbye.
"Congratulations, Commander!" He shouted with cupped hands: "The Holy City has been captured, and the destruction of Helin is just around the corner. I hope that the Eastern Expeditionary Army can fulfill its previous promise to me."
He Lanxiong laughed: "General Mugulu, no, Chief Mugulu, you can rest assured that the promise made by our Zhengdong Army is a spit and a nail, and we will never make a mistake. The Rouran tribe will be rebuilt, and you will have Your own tribe and land."
Hearing that He Lanxiong got straight to the point, Mu Gulu couldn't help but beam with joy and thanked him repeatedly.
He Lanxiong smiled and pointed to the city, "Chief of the Mugulu Clan, now, should you restrain your subordinates? It's okay to vent a little, but going too far is never enough!"
When the night fell again, the city completely returned to calm. Gao Che carried Mo Yanhe's head in one hand and the trembling Suo Etu in the other hand like a chicken, and arrived in front of He Lanxiong. (Unfinished) to be continued)
