The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 400 The Battle of Yongqiu
With the coming of war and the bitterness of spring, the lonely city is becoming more and more dangerous.

Surrounded by the moon halo, guarded like a fish.

Repeatedly tired of the yellow dust, I wave the white feather from time to time.

Wrapped sores are still out of battle, and drinking blood is even more difficult.

Loyalty should be formidable, steadfast and unwavering.

No one repays the emperor, so what can he do.

——"Shou Suiyang" Zhang Xun (Tang Dynasty)

……

In the next few days, black-clothed straw figures would appear on the walls of Yongqiu City every now and then, and they would come down from time to time with a rope.

After Linghu Chao was caught in the trap, every time he saw the man in black, he felt very ashamed, so he simply hid in the big tent of the Chinese army, out of sight and out of mind.

The puppet Yan soldiers laughed at Zhang Xun for repeating his old tricks, greedy for greed, and stopped shooting straw people.Slowly, the besieging Yan army became accustomed to Zhang Xunye's Caoren, and no longer took precautions.

Zhang Xun led Bai Fu and carefully counted the number of arrows on the grass man in black every day. When the puppet Yan soldiers hardly shot arrows, Zhang Xun made up his mind.

In the afternoon of this day, Zhang Xun selected [-] elite soldiers with high martial arts skills from the Tang army, and asked everyone to rest early after eating.At three o'clock, Zhang Xun assembled five hundred warriors, put the soldiers in armor and black scarecrow clothes, tied ropes, and prepared to let down the ropes to attack the puppet Yan army camp at night.

Zhang Xun's face was solemn, and he told the generals: "My warriors of the Tang Dynasty, this battle is different from the general battle of attacking the camp. It is very dangerous. Everyone must hold the heart of death in order to be able to fight the enemy. Down!
In the past few days, I have been counting the arrows on the grass man, although the number of arrows has become less and less, and I didn't even shoot arrows in the first two days.But it doesn't mean the enemy won't shoot arrows this time!

When going down the rope, if you encounter sporadic arrow attacks, no matter how painful it is, you must grit your teeth and hold back. Remember not to block the arrows, struggle and shake.Even if you are killed on the spot, don't act rashly.

Otherwise, once the enemy finds out, all arrows will be fired, and the sacrifice will no longer be an individual, but our five hundred brothers! "

"promise!"

All the generals spoke in unison, their eyes were firm and determined, and the determination to die appeared on their faces!

It was the first time for Bai Fu to face thousands of soldiers in a decisive battle to the death, his heart was touched and he couldn't help himself.

Bai Fu's lightness kung fu was so superb that he didn't need to go down the city with a rope. He leaned behind the crenel, held his breath, and observed his teammates.Once the five hundred soldiers had safely descended to the city, he would fly down to the city and attack with them.

More than 1000 people in black were tied with ropes, and the real and fake soldiers were intertwined, and they were slowly lowered from the city wall.

As expected, the puppet Yan soldiers really thought that it was still a scarecrow that was hanged from the city this time, and they didn't take it seriously, and they were not prepared at all.

……

Seeing that there are still several feet left, the five hundred warriors will all land safely.The generals let out a long breath, and the stone hanging in their hearts was about to fall.

At this moment, there was a commotion on the turret of the puppet Yan barracks.It turns out that there are several puppet Yan officers and soldiers on duty tonight on the turret.Long nights, nothing to do.When these people were bored, they gambled to pass the time.

A general was unlucky tonight. He lost several shops in a row and lost a lot of money.He became angry from embarrassment, pushed the dice, got up and stopped playing, and muttered dirty Turkic words in his mouth.

Seeing the black-clothed straw men coming down from the city wall of Yongqiu, the officer scolded: "Fucking shit, it's you straw men who broke my luck!"

He picked up the bow and arrow beside him and shot six arrows at a grass figure in black.This fake Yan general is a Turkic eagle archer, with precise arrows, all of them hit the faces of the black-clothed straw man.

Another general snatched his bow and arrow, and persuaded him: "Look, the arrow in the face is still standing still, it must be a scarecrow.

Don't shoot anymore, if General Linghu finds out that you wasted the eagle feather arrow, you will be punished again.Come on, play cards! "

The two threw away their bows and arrows, squatted down, and continued to gamble.

……

Bai Fu saw it clearly from the top of the city tower, the fingers of the man in black trembling slightly as he was hit by the arrow, he clenched his fist tightly, it's not a scarecrow, but a living person, the fierce general Lei Wanchun!

How much patience is required to face the six arrows without moving? !

Bai Fu's eyes were moist, and he murmured: "Brother Lei, hold on, I'll come to rescue you right away!"

When five hundred warriors made it down to the city, Bai Fu slid down the wall like a gecko and quickly came to Lei Wanchun.Lei Wanchun fell into a pool of blood, dying.

Nan Jiyun burst into tears, shook Lei Wanchun's hand and said: "Second brother, if you have something to do, I will not live alone!" After that, he left two soldiers to look after Lei Wanchun, and led the rest of the generals to quietly The puppet Yan army camp covered up and killed them.

Bai Fu's finger was like a wheel, and he hit the key point on Lei Wanchun's body, stopping the blood flow.Use a doctor's knife to gouge out the flesh, pull out the arrows, and apply golden medicine.

Bai Fu put a elixir into Lei Wanchun's mouth, and put his palm against Lei Wanchun's back heart, Xuanmen zhenqi poured in, Lei Wanchun coughed and woke up.

Bai Fu let out a long breath, knowing that Lei Wanchun's life was saved.He ordered the soldiers left behind to take good care of Lei Wanchun, and he unfolded his movements, swift as flying, and joined the [-] soldiers.

At this time, Nan Jiyun had led five hundred warriors to the gate of the puppet Yan barracks.

On the hanging buckets on both sides of the barracks gate, there are two sentries on each side patrolling.Seeing that Bai Fu arrived in time, Nan Jiyun gestured and acted separately.

Nan Jiyun bent his bow and set his arrows, and shot two arrows at the same time, which hit the sentry's throat, killing the enemy with one arrow.Two sentries fell from the bucket, and several Tang soldiers caught his body.

On the other side of the bucket, Baifu launched an attack.Bai Fu raised his hand, and the two pebbles hit the back of the sentinel's head medulla oblongata like meteors.The medulla oblongata is the most vulnerable part of the human head. With one blow to the head, the two sentries fell silently like a puddle of mud.

When Nan Jiyun saw Bai Fu's way of killing the enemy, it was the demeanor of a top assassin in the Tang Sect. He admired him and gave him a thumbs up.

Bai Furu, like a civet cat, rushed into the camp and slowly opened the camp gate.

Five hundred warriors of the Tang Dynasty poured into the Puppet Yan army camp like a tidal wave. They worked in groups of five and poured ointment, kerosene and other combustible materials into the grain, grass, stables and warehouses.

Bai Fu and Nan Jiyun led the troops and continued to kill the officers and soldiers who were on duty at night on the turrets around the camp.The two hated him for shooting Lei Wanchun with his arrows, and they mercilessly cut their throats and shot their heads, killing them with one blow.

The whole operation is fast, silent, and well-trained at first glance.It turned out that when Bai Fu arrived in Yongqiu two days ago, he had disguised himself as a soldier of the Yan Army and passed through the barracks.He is well aware of the camp roads and the layout of the transportation facilities.

Before the operation, Tang Jun practiced many times according to the map drawn by Bai Fu.At this time, enter the barracks, follow the map to find out, and implement in sequence.

I saw a firecracker rising into the sky, and the fireworks exploded.Tang troops from all walks of life started at the same time and set fire to the camp.

The puppet Yan army was still in a dream, and they were caught off guard. For a while, people were frightened and horses hissed, and they became a mess.

The distance between the battalions of the Pseudo-Yan is a hundred steps away, and the roads are connected.A team of 15 crossbowmen from the Tang Army set up a small fort at the intersection of the camp.

Seeing the puppet Yan soldiers running and scurrying along the road, the Tang army's crossbow archers were in groups of five, and three groups took turns shooting.The crossbow arrows were fired at once, shooting and killing the enemy troops row by row.The puppet Yan officers and soldiers killed an unknown number of Tang troops. In a panic, they rushed and trampled on each other.

Such a method of breaking the formation is exactly the method of setting up a camp that Bai Fu learned from General Zhongsi.The eight formations of Fenghou can still be broken, let alone this mere Hu and Han mixed barracks!
Five hundred warriors of the Tang army were as fierce as tigers, and chopped down the fleeing Yan army soldiers.

Nan Jiyun was so excited to kill, he raised his knife and dropped it, and he was hooked!

Zhang Xun saw that the puppet Yan army camp was full of fire, opened the city gate, rushed out, and led the cavalry to attack Linghu Chao's camp.

……

Bai Fu at the other end of the barracks was extremely calm.

Capture the thief first and capture the king!Get rid of Linghu Chao, and the army will collapse!

With the iron saber in hand, Bai Fuxuan wandered around the barracks waiting for an opportunity.Encountering the generals of the Yan army who were blocking him head-on, Bai Fu turned around like a ghost, and when he passed by, he turned his head and cut him in two.

The bonfires in the barracks were burning like daylight.

In the light of the flames, Bai Fu saw only a man in golden helmet and iron armor, surrounded by a dozen of his own soldiers, whipping his horse and whip, and fled across the road.

Bai Fu was overjoyed, and shouted: "Old man Linghu, where are you going!" He flew up, flew up and down the top of the tent, and came behind the group of people.

A general protecting Linghu Chao pulled the reins, turned his horse's head around, and charged towards Bai Fu with an iron spear in his hand.

"Teng Teng Teng" Bai Fu kicked three steps in a row, pointing his toes, soaring into the air, holding the black iron thick back knife with both hands, and slashing down in the air.

General Yan Jun didn't know how powerful Bai Fu was, so he grinned grinningly and stabbed straight with his spear.

"Swish"

Bai Fu raised his knife and fell, splitting the enemy general with his spear in half!

When the body fell, Bai Fu kicked half of the enemy general off the horse.Taking advantage of the remaining momentum, he turned around and landed firmly on the enemy general's horse.

Bai Fu rode his horse and raised his whip, and chased after Linghu Chao.

All Linghu Chao's soldiers turned around to cover, Bai Fu took out his bow and crossbow, and fired several arrows in succession, shooting Linghu Chao's soldiers off their horses one by one.

Linghu Chao was startled and stabbed Majiri with a knife.The horses suffered from pain and galloped away, and they were about to escape from the barracks.

Bai Fu held the carved bow in his hand, took out an iron arrow, and pointed it at the horse.As soon as the bowstring was loosened, the iron arrow whizzed away, shot through the horse's anus, and pierced through the horse's belly.

The steed under Linghu Chao's crotch neighed, and all four hooves fell down, knocking Linghu Chao to the ground.

Bai Fu rode up to Linghu Chao, and said with a smile, "Old Linghu, where are you going?"

When this person raised his head, it turned out to be a young face. He tremblingly said: "General, please forgive me. I'm just Master Linghu's personal lieutenant. I'll pretend to be him and cover his escape!"

"I'm angry too!" Bai Fu spat on the ground!
Falling into Linghu Chao's golden cicada's trick to get rid of his shell, he wasted his time and missed his opportunity, Bai Fu wished he could end this person's life with one blow.

Bai Fu thought about it for a second, he couldn't recognize Linghu Chao in the chaos army, and it was probably difficult to distinguish the fake Yan soldiers.Although Linghu Chao has escaped, the "fake Linghu Chao" is still a rare commodity.

Bai Fu made up his mind.

Bai Fu tied the five flowers of "Fake Linghu Chao" to the horse, and ordered the soldiers of the Tang army around to shout in unison: "Linghu Chao has been captured, don't make unnecessary resistance. If you want to survive, put down your weapons and return quickly!"

The Yan army in the distance couldn't see clearly, but the man wearing the Linghu Chao armor and cloak was captured by the Tang army, tied to a horse, and paraded through the streets.

The coach was captured, and the generals no longer had the will to fight.Either they were caught without a fight, or they ran away in all directions.The tens of thousands of Puppet Yan's army fell apart in an instant.

……

When the barracks was on fire, Linghu Chao was terribly killed by the Tang Army's assault column, and ran away with his head in his arms.Among the rebellious army, they were unable to organize resistance, so they could only disguise themselves as pawns under the protection of several followers, abandon the camp on horseback, and flee by the road.

After fleeing for more than ten miles, Linghu Chao gathered the remnants of the defeated generals and stabilized his position.

Linghu Chao looked back at the burning Yan army camp, and gritted his teeth: "Zhang Xun, don't be complacent, the old man will come back!"
