Chapter 420 The moon is like smoke

Longyou.

It is said that after the armies of the Seven Kingdoms encountered stubborn resistance from the armies of the Yueshi and King Chong, the territory they occupied in Longyou was lost bit by bit. After several wars, the armies of the Seven Kingdoms suffered heavy casualties.

For this reason, the three Xirong countries headed by the Bulu Kingdom withdrew their troops from Longyou. The remaining four countries that suffered the most losses and did not take advantage were not willing to retreat. Instead, they sent their most elite troops to increase their troops from Longyou.

In early November, the elite troops of the Four Kingdoms arrived at Longyou. The city that was originally taken back by the armies of Yueshi and King Chong was once again taken back by the Four Kingdoms.

The troops of the Yuezhi and King Chong were not as numerous as those of the four kingdoms of Xirong. In addition, Longyou had been at war for more than a year. During this period, wars of all sizes had not stopped. It was difficult for the Yuezhi and King Chong to come forward. The troops who came for reinforcements were in a tired and war-weary mood.

Therefore, with the reinforcements from the four kingdoms of Xirong, the armies of Yuezhi and King Chong were finally defeated by the coalition forces of Xirong and Xiguo, and they retreated continuously.

In less than a month, more than twenty cities were lost.

The four kingdoms of Xirong suffered a big loss last time. This time they attacked Longyou. They didn't just plunder some resources and then go back. They also planned to completely occupy Longyou.

He also made a slogan to capture the entire Yue clan alive and make the male family members servants and the female family members into prostitutes.

Even more arrogantly, he wanted to strip off the clothes of the Yueshi leader and parade him through the streets.

The four kingdoms of Xirong were so powerful that people in Longyou were frightened.

Some official families, in order to survive, directly took refuge with foreigners.

Yanling County.

An important town in Longyou.

The stars are dim tonight and I can't see my fingers.

At midnight.

An eagle cry sounded outside Yanling County.

Nearly ten thousand people quietly touched a hilltop less than three miles outside the city.

They were neat and orderly, well-equipped and well-disciplined. Nearly ten thousand people were huddled together, and no one was even whispering.

I do not know how long it has been.

A flash of fire appeared in front of them.

And this blaze of light came from a middle-aged man wearing a Confucian robe, holding a lantern.

The nearly ten thousand people in front of them are one of the main forces of the four-nation coalition of Xirong.

"Who are you waiting for?"

A voice asked the middle-aged man.

"I am Master Liu, your master. You have specially ordered me to go out of the city to meet your army." The middle-aged man gestured with his hands, then lowered his head and said with a respectful look: "I wonder if General Duan is here."

"Do you have a problem with me, General?" A powerful voice sounded, and the next second, a burly man wearing armor appeared in the light of the middle-aged man's lantern.

"My lord said that arrangements have been made in the city, and your army can just enter the city directly. I wonder if General Duan's promise to your lord is still counted?" said the middle-aged man.

Hearing this, a flash of sarcasm flashed in the eyes of the strong man, but a harmless smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Don't worry, I mean what I say, general. If you capture Yue Ruyan later, let your master be the first to go." No problem.”

"Hahaha." As he said that, the strong man laughed a few times, and the soldiers behind him also laughed.

Yue Ruyan is now the eldest daughter of the leader of the Yue family.

The Yuezhi is a woman-headed family, and Yue Ruyan is currently the commander-in-chief of the Yuezhi army. Because she often fights on the battlefield, everyone in the four kingdoms of Xirong knows that Yue Ruyan is a beauty.

"Then my master can rest assured."

Seeing that arrangements had been made in the city, General Duan had no doubts. During this period, countless people from Longyou had taken refuge with them. In addition, they were about to attack Yanling County. The county magistrate in the city acted as their internal agent in order to survive. normal.

General Duan turned around and ordered: "Immediately set up a trap, and you will be given a title. Follow me into the city."

As he said that, the generals and soldiers behind him took out their horse bridles and put them on the horses' mouths. Then they took out a copper coin and put it in their mouths.

For the sake of safety and not to cause too much noise, General Duan chose to send a thousand men to lead the charge.

He took the remaining people with him to check the situation outside the city. As the leading group of one thousand people entered the city very smoothly, the garrison on the city wall did not stop them.

Looking at the wide open city gate, General Duan waved his hand and shouted: "The city gate has been opened. Follow me and enter the city."

After saying that, General Duan suddenly clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and the horse under him immediately turned into a sharp arrow and galloped towards Yanling County.

"kill."

The soldiers and horses behind them all shouted and rushed forward.

Under the night, the sound of killing and the sound of galloping horse hooves shattered the tranquility.

But in the houses in the city, there are not sleeping people, but soldiers of the Yue Army holding their breath and holding their swords and wearing armor.

After the allied forces of the four countries of Xirong entered the city, they looked at the houses and kicked them open as if they were smelly cats, preparing to loot Yanling County.

However, the moment they kicked open the houses, what greeted them was not the panicked people of the Song Dynasty, but the soldiers of Soldier Yue who had been lying in wait for a long time.

The moment they saw Soldier Yue, the pupils of the Allied Forces of the Four Nations shrank. The next second, several crossbow arrows shot out, killing all the soldiers of the Allied Forces who broke into the houses.

"The general is not good, there is an ambush."

Someone was shocked.

General Duan's expression changed, and he looked around and found that the man who claimed to be Mr. Liu's master just now had disappeared.

Before he could give the order, a large number of Soldiers from the Moon poured out from the surrounding streets and alleys.

"No, go back."

This formation shocked General Duan.

At this time, news came from the rear that the city gate had been closed.

For a moment, General Duan broke out in a cold sweat. This was a complete conspiracy.

"Follow my general and charge into battle!"

General Duan shouted loudly.

However, the terrain in the city was complicated, and the four-nation coalition forces knew nothing about the situation inside. Under the premise that the Yue army had already laid an ambush, General Duan's resistance did not cause a splash.

"Fire arrows."

There were sounds of arrows being fired all around.

Swish swish.
Countless hidden arrows flew out from all directions.

Puff! Puff!

The soldiers of the Four Nations Allied Forces were completely unable to defend themselves. Even though they were all wearing iron armor, they were not completely covered in armor, and their horses were not protected. Under the dense rain of arrows, they fell on their backs and wailed.

Several rounds of arrows rained down, and most of the nearly 10,000 four-nation coalition troops were killed or injured.

"Kill."

Suddenly, the surrounding houses lit up with flames, and the Moon Army began to close in to complete the final harvest.

"General, we will cover you and retreat quickly." General Duan's soldiers shouted.

General Duan's expression changed and he quickly led his soldiers to break out of the encirclement.

"Duan Guo, where can you escape!"

At this moment, a loud shout came from the Yue Army.

I saw a white horse galloping out, and the person on the horse was actually a woman wearing armor.

"Yue Ruyan?!" Duan Guo looked at it steadily for a while, then his face darkened.
