Chapter 754 Young General vs. Rich Lady 57
Tuolu saved his life and stood on the siege vehicle, not daring to go up the city wall again.
The last time they attacked Pingyang City, Huo Yuanyi died in battle. That was the closest the Beirong had ever come to success. They were just a little bit away from capturing Pingyang City.
Huo Xiao was young and no one took him seriously, but he managed to kill a fierce general of Beirong despite being seriously injured. He was the companion of the Great Khan and a person closer to him than a brother. When the news was passed back to Rong, the Great Khan vomited blood and fell into a coma.
According to the tradition on the grassland, the youngest son usually takes care of the family business, while the older brothers build up their own power outside and help each other. Now many forces on the grassland are all one family, and they are connected by bones.
But the times are different now. The Rong Kingdom is vast, the Great Khan's reputation has spread throughout the grassland, and everyone is willing to pay homage to him. Even if the older princes get some land and cattle and sheep, they cannot establish their own tribe like before, and their lives are far worse than those of their younger brothers who inherited the Khan's throne.
The Rong State despised the cowardice and incompetence of the Xia State, but continued to learn about the politics and culture of the Xia State, hoping that one day they could enter the capital, occupy the fertile land, snatch the golden food, and raise the beautiful slaves of the Xia State.
Gradually, voices began to voice in the Rong State calling for the eldest son to be crowned as the heir. The eldest prince won over the hearts of the people and was determined to seize the position of Khan.
As the Great Khan was critically ill, most of the Rong army withdrew. The generals were also afraid of missing the opportunity for power transfer. The eldest prince even intended to launch a coup, kill his younger brother and seize the position of Khan.
The Great Khan is not dead, but he is only on his last breath. He wants to avenge his companions, so he orders the brave First Prince to lead the troops. As long as they can kill Huo Xiao, wipe out the Huo family army, and swallow up the land of Wei State, he will let the First Prince inherit the throne of Khan.
Tuolu is the eldest prince's attendant. He grew up with the eldest prince, so naturally he has to be the vanguard!
Huo Xiao was already seriously injured. If he could fight him, he might be able to kill him! The Huo family army was leaderless and would surely be defeated!
Unfortunately, Huo Xiao didn't respond and continued to have people besiege him, and even shamelessly attacked him!
Tuolu was so angry that he yelled, "Huo Xiao! You are shameless! You attacked me by surprise! What a bunch of cowards! Now that Huo Yuanyi is dead, the Huo family army is just a bunch of cowards!"
"Huo Xiao, if you have the guts, come down and let's have a one-on-one fight! If you win, this general will withdraw his troops immediately!"
Huo Xiao raised his hand, and a large wave of crossbow arrows flew towards the siege vehicle. The Rong soldiers hurriedly raised their shields to block, but a large number of them still fell down.
Takulu hid in the siege vehicle and didn't even dare to show his head again.
Huo Xiao sneered and held a large speaker in his hand. This thing was light and convenient, but it could amplify the sound more than ten times.
He pressed the switch and shouted, "Who do you think you are? Are you worthy enough to fight me? Your coach is here, I might even show mercy and fight him. If you have the guts, come up! I'll be waiting for you here!"
"Come out! Don't hide! How can you command your subordinates if you don't even show up? Others are charging, but you are hiding in the siege vehicle and pretending to be a grandson. You are also retreating? Even if you want to retreat, I will not allow it. Kill him!"
The Northern Rong people kept attacking the city wall, and the Huo family army killed them fiercely. Their swords were stronger than those of the Northern Rong people, and a few more strikes could even break their scimitars. By now, there were only two thousand Northern Rong people left, and no one had been able to cross the city wall alive.
Tuolu, holding a shield, emerged from the siege vehicle and shouted, "Go! Kill Huo Xiao!"
Since we can't break in, being able to deal with Huo Xiao is also a great achievement!
Swish! Three crossbow arrows were fired at the same time, two hit the shield, and one shot past Takuro's ear, drawing blood.
Tuolu quickly hid in the siege vehicle and dared not show his head again.
Huo Xiao held up the loudspeaker and shouted, "Tulu was shot by an arrow! Tulu was shot by an arrow!"
He shouted again in the Beirong language.
The soldiers understood and also shouted while holding up their trumpets.
"Takuru has an arrow in his heart!"
"Tulu is dead!"
The psychological warfare was clearly played.
The Beirong people were thrown into chaos in an instant. After fighting for so long, they no longer had the ambition to capture Pingyang City and seize the first merit. For a moment, they hesitated whether to retreat. Should they go back to rescue General Tuolu?
Tuolu was very angry. Huo Xiao was so shameless!
But his voice was so small that it was completely drowned out by the voices of the Huo family's army. No one knew what dirty tricks the Huo family's army used. Everyone spoke as loudly as a bell, and could be heard clearly in the chaotic battlefield.
Takulu wanted to stand on the siege vehicle to prove that he was still alive, but as soon as he showed his head, the crossbow arrows would arrive. This place was too close to the archers, and he didn't want his fake death to turn into real death.
Takulu shouted in a hoarse voice, "The siege vehicles move back a little, raise the flag, the general is alive and well! The general wants to give orders!"
The siege vehicle retreated and gradually left the city wall. Many people saw the loud noise.
Huo Xiao slashed a Beirong man's neck with a sword. His presence here was the best boost to morale, but he was also a sitting duck.
There were still people from the Northern Rong who were desperate and kept rushing over to kill him. The veterans of the Shenji Camp shot arrows at this side, killing one by one. Peng Haichang also brought people to assist. Huo Xiao was wearing heavy armor, so when a Northern Rong person rushed to him occasionally, he easily dealt with him.
Huo Xiao raised his loudspeaker and shouted, "The siege vehicles have all retreated! Tuolu is really dead!"
Tuolu almost vomited blood! He stood on the siege vehicle and shouted at the soldiers to continue charging.
But the commander had already become cowardly and stood still, not daring to climb up the city wall. The Northern Rong people were already tired and hungry, and their morale had plummeted. Even the new recruits were able to surround them and kill them in one fell swoop.
The recruits were extremely excited, each of them was as energetic as if they had been injected with chicken blood. It turned out that the Northern Rong people were not as scary as the rumors said. They would bleed if they were chopped. Even if they were a little bigger, they would die with a few more hits.
Thanks to the protective clothing given by God, even if they were dizzy and dazed, their chests would not be injured, and they could continue to chop with knives!
"Dad! Mom! I finally avenged you!"
"Sister! Did you see that? Brother has killed two beasts! This is the third one!"
"Cut off your right ear quickly. Cutting it off will be a military merit and can be exchanged for food!"
Li Xiujiu chopped a Beirong man in the chest. The Beirong man was still alive and smashed a stone at her head. Fortunately, she was wearing a helmet and her head buzzed for a moment, but she was not injured.
The companion next to him immediately stabbed him again, and the Beirong fell down. The companion cut off his ear and gave it to her, "You hit her in the butt, so it's yours."
The Beirong people were eliminated one by one, and the remaining people gathered around Tuolu to protect him, and no one attacked the city anymore.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the recruits sat down on the ground, "It's finally over! I'm so tired!"
The real Huo family army stood on the city wall, unmoved and tall as pine trees, but they did not blame these newcomers, so let these little guys be happy for a while.
