Chapter 140 Entering He Yun Mansion
The whip and the laser sword came into contact and broke into two pieces in the next second.
The owner of the whip held the half whip and was completely dumbfounded.
"You." The other person stared at the green glowing thing in Ling Chan's hand... "What is this?"
"My whip is made of black iron!" he roared.
Ling Chan could understand his anger. Black iron... In modern times, many people have speculated about the material of this black iron. Some say it is tungsten steel, and some say it is high manganese steel.
No matter what it is, it at least shows that the density of this black iron is very high, and its hardness is rumored to be second only to diamond.
It should be scratch-resistant, corrosion-resistant, rust-proof, and non-deformable...
But just now it was chopped off by the strange thing in Ling Chan's hand.
"What are you holding?"
Ling Chan raised the laser sword in his hand and said, "This marquis holds a divine weapon that can cut through iron like mud. It is not comparable to a mortal like you."
Ordinary item? The other party looked at the whip in her hand, which was shining with a cold light. This weapon of hers was ranked in the top three on the Da He weapon list, but in her hands, it was just an ordinary item?
They were on the battlefield now, and Ling Chan didn't have time to continue talking to him.
She continued to charge at several other men in black, lightsaber in hand.
The weapons in their hands are very powerful, including swords, sticks and knives.
But when they saw Ling Chan coming, they all retreated...
But they underestimated the power of the laser sword in Ling Chan's hand. Even from a distance, she could still easily cut their weapons in half.
The men in black were panicking now. Half of their men had already been killed and they could no longer continue fighting. "Retreat!"
Hailasu and Jiuhongtu also panicked when they heard that they were going to retreat.
This group of men in black appeared in He Yun Mansion some time ago. They were gangsters who came from nearby following the orders of the Wolf King.
If they leave, how can we defend this city?
"Dear seniors..."
The man who lost his whip said earnestly, "Deputy General Hailasu, even if we lose the city, we can still fight it back."
"But if too many soldiers are killed, that would be a loss."
"But..." Hailasu didn't think that he could easily fight back after losing Heyun City.
"Deputy General Hailasu, the Wolf King has called on the people of Dahejianghu to come to help. I believe they will arrive soon."
"And the Wolf King's troops will arrive soon."
"By then, taking back He Yun Mansion will be easy."
Really? Haila Su looked down at Ling Chan.
She was helping the Daqi soldiers open the other half of the city gate. The strange green thing had disappeared, and she was holding the black bone umbrella again.
As long as the Marquis of Zhenbei was around, Hailasu felt that it would not be so easy to take back the Heyun Mansion.
"If you seniors want to retreat, Hailasu will not stop you, but my soldiers will definitely defend until the last moment."
After saying this, he looked at Jiu Hongtu and said, "Jiu Hongtu, go to North City and mobilize troops immediately."
At this time, Jiu Hongtu and Hailasu reached a consensus.
It is impossible for all 200,000 soldiers to be in the city of Heyun, so more soldiers are stationed in the northern suburbs of the city.
There are only about 20,000 people defending the city now, and nearly half of them have been lost...
"And by the way, tell the people to stay home and not come out."
Jiu Hongtu turned around and walked down the city wall. When he came down from the wall, he ran into the Daqi soldiers who broke into the city gate. He joined them, injured several Daqi soldiers, and was then protected by other companions and left.
Ling Chan saw him and flew to Liu Hong's side, "General Liu, Jiu Hongtu has gone to mobilize troops."
"I'll take the sisters from Qingyi Tower to stop them."
Liu Hong nodded, "Okay, Lord, please be careful."
Ling Chan called Hongdou, Liu Huaiyu, Gong Lan, and Gong Yu, and then flew directly over He Yun Mansion.
Hailasu looked up at them and said, "Archers, release your arrows."
Arrows were shot towards Ling Chan and the others, but they just rose a little and dodged them completely.
When the arrow reaches a certain height, it loses its power and falls down...
Seeing this, Hailasu stared at their leaving figures angrily.
The man in black behind him said he was leaving and disappeared in a moment.
The reason these people came so early was partly because of the Wolf King’s call and to give the Wolf King some face.
On the other hand, it was to make a fortune on the battlefield, for example, by robbing the equipment and food of the Daqi soldiers. If they could attack the Wufang County of Daqi, they could also rob the rich and plunder the civilians.
As for defending the city and protecting the people, that was not something they considered.
In their words, this is called knowing when to quit and he who knows the times is a hero.
If we lose the He Yun Mansion, we can just take it back when the martial arts heroes and the Wolf King come one day.
There were more and more Daqi soldiers on the city wall, and fewer and fewer Dahe soldiers. Hailasu joined the battle with a big knife.
The soldiers of the two armies fought like tigers and leopards, with swords flashing and the smell of blood in the air.
The piles of flames below the city could not stop Daqi's momentum in attacking the city.
The soldiers of Daqi shouted loudly and were in high spirits. Compared to them, the morale of the soldiers of Dahe was much weaker.
At this time, the people in He Yun Mansion were terrified and felt desolate in their hearts.
If He Yun Mansion was breached, they would be living under someone else's roof, having a city but no home.
Jiu Hongtu rode his horse and galloped through the city.
"Ling Chan, can't we just kill him directly?" Liu Huaiyu looked at Ju Hongtu below.
If we just kill the people who go to mobilize the troops, won’t we be unable to mobilize the troops?
Ling Chan said, "Those soldiers are stationed not far outside the North City. The city is in chaos right now, how could they not know?"
"I estimate that they are almost at the north gate."
"It doesn't matter whether Ju Hongtu goes to mobilize troops or not. We must stop those soldiers at the north gate and not let them enter the city."
"The five of us can stop tens of thousands of them?" Liu Huaiyu showed an excited expression.
Ling Chan gave her a helpless look and said, "You still have to be careful later. Don't be careless."
Jiu Hongtu slapped his horse and shouted, "Everyone, stay indoors!"
After hearing this, the people who had secretly opened the doors and windows to look out quickly closed the doors and windows and hid inside without coming out.
This is wise.
When two countries go to war, generally speaking, the civilians will not be harmed. Even if Daqi leads his troops into Heyun Mansion, he will not harm the civilians.
However, in order to ensure that there are no Dahe soldiers in the city, Daqi soldiers will patrol the city all day long, which will still have a huge impact on the lives of the people.
Following Jiu Hongtu to the north of the city, I saw a large number of soldiers entering He Yun Mansion from the north gate and rushing towards the south of the city.
"Jiu Hongtu, how about it?"
Ju Hongtula stopped his horse and said, "The city gate has been breached, and those Jianghu people have retreated."
"Tsk." The visitor spat angrily, "I knew those people were unreliable."
"Everyone follow me."
"Today, as long as you drive the Daqi soldiers out of Heyun Mansion, you will be rewarded with sheep, horses, wine and water."
"Those who kill many enemies today will receive promotions and rewards."
"Those who die for their country will receive a pension of ten gold coins."
This kind of encouragement, which was a combination of coaxing and deception, did not arouse the morale of the Dahe soldiers.
They have been hungry for so many days. Not to mention sheep, horses, wine and water, they have no food at all.
What about promotions and rewards for killing many enemies?
If they really defeat Daqi, the ones who will get promotions and rewards will be the deputy generals. What does it have to do with the ordinary soldiers?
The so-called pension of ten gold coins is even more nonsense. The person is dead, who knows how much the pension is?
In the past, the dead soldiers were burned in a fire when the battlefield was cleared. Who knew who they were?
Perhaps it was the long period of hunger that made the soldiers more pessimistic.
After the deputy general encouraged them, instead of speeding up their pace, they slowed down instead.
At this time, Jiu Hongtu turned his horse around and said, "Brothers, there is a lot of food in the Daqi military camp. Let's charge!!!"
His words were more effective than those of the deputy general just now.
The starving Da He soldier opened his eyes wide, as if he had suddenly woken up, and his steps became a little faster than before.
At this moment, Ling Chan and others slowly descended.
"You're hoping to defeat us and get food..." Ling Chan looked at the soldiers behind Jiu Hongtu, "Why not just surrender? I'll have the kitchen cook rice for you right away so you can have a full meal."
When Jiu Hongtu saw Ling Chan, he immediately raised his sword and looked at her warily.
"Don't listen to her." Jiu Hongtu shouted back, "Everyone, charge! Our brothers are waiting for us at the city gate."
As he spoke, he spurred his horse and galloped forward, and the soldiers behind him also quickened their pace.
Ling Chan slowly raised the black umbrella in her hand, while Hongdou, Liu Huaiyu and the others picked up their rifles.
The soldiers below were knocked down before they could even reach Ling Chan and the others...
One wave fell, and another wave came up. After one time, the people behind did not dare to move forward again.
At the same time, cheers from a large number of soldiers were heard from the south of the city. It seemed that the city gate had been completely broken.
"Jiu Hongtu." The other deputy generals came to Jiu Hongtu's side, "The city gate is broken, let's retreat."
Jiu Hongtu looked at Ling Chan, then at the many soldiers who had fallen in front of him.
The city gate has been broken, there is no point in them defending it any longer...
"Retreat." Hailasu is not here, so Ju Hongtu's order is the highest command.
The Da He soldiers turned and ran out of the city. The north gate had just been opened, and now they were pouring out...
Ling Chan and the others attacked again from behind the crowd.
In the end, several thousand more people were knocked down.
In the south of the city, Hailasu was captured, and three thousand soldiers were also captured.
Here in the north of the city, we have evacuated completely.
The soldiers on the east and west sides of the city also abandoned the gates and left.
Liu Hong immediately dispatched people to the capital to guard the four directions of east, west, south and north.
At the same time, people were sent to patrol the city. They had to knock on the doors of the people's homes one by one, register the information of the people in the homes, and see if there were any soldiers hiding.
The remaining soldiers were divided into four groups and stationed outside each city gate.
The captured Hailasu and three thousand soldiers were guarded in the city...
Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and the sun was setting.
Cartloads of food were brought into He Yun's house, and the kitchen began to cook.
The captured Hailasu and three thousand soldiers finally drank warm and thick white porridge after being hungry for so many days.
Hailasu had the porridge in his mouth but found it difficult to swallow, but the other soldiers drank the porridge and it was like a thirsty plant encountering water.
"General Hailasu, you should drink something too," said the soldier beside him.
Hailasu tightened his grip, but spat the hot porridge in his mouth onto the ground, and angrily put the bowl aside.
If he doesn't drink, someone else will.
Everyone has been hungry for too long.
The soldier next to him snatched the bowl of porridge and drank it down, not afraid of the heat at all.
After occupying He Yun Mansion, there are many things to do.
In addition to the above, you must always pay attention to the movements of the Dahe soldiers.
In order to better monitor them, Ling Chan was also busy.
She discovered the military camp where Da He was temporarily stationed ten miles outside the north city, so she installed a surveillance device every ten meters or so around their camp.
Liu Hong also sent out scouts and set up outposts on the city walls to keep an eye on Da He's movements.
Attacking a city is difficult, defending it is even more difficult.
After three busy days, Liu Hong picked up his pen and wrote a letter to the capital.
He wanted to send everyone's efforts and the victory news of taking the city to the capital.
In addition, he also had to ask Xiao Heng's opinion on whether to continue fighting northward after taking He Yunfu, or to defend He Yunfu and wait for Da He to negotiate peace.
Finally, it was suggested that the Great Wolf King might lead his troops in person, and he hoped that Xiao Heng could mobilize the troops stationed in the west of Daqi to provide assistance, and increase the supply of food and military supplies.
This letter is very important because the Great Wolf King may come to the border at any time.
"It must be sent to the capital as quickly as possible." Liu Hong said.
This was the first time that Liu Hong summoned his deputy generals and martial arts seniors to discuss important matters after capturing He Yun Mansion.
Among them, Hongdou, as the leader of the martial arts world, is also among them.
"It would be best if you could return with the Emperor's decree within two months."
Within two months? Everyone frowned.
It would take at least two months to travel from the capital to the border at full speed, without stopping day and night. How could it be possible to return within two months?
But everyone also knows why Liu Hong is so anxious.
Because in two months, regardless of whether the Wolf King reached the border, it would be autumn, with abundant water and lush grass. Once Da He's troops and morale were restored...
Therefore, Liu Hong had to get the emperor's help in mobilizing troops and increasing food supplies.
Ling Chan also understood Liu Hong's intention.
If they don't have food, they can go to Dahe to get it. If they don't have military supplies, they can also get them from Dahe.
But if the Great Wolf King comes in person, he has many experts under his command and a powerful army.
With the help of her, the sisters from Qingyi Tower and senior martial arts masters, perhaps they can hold off one or two.
However, the number of Daqi soldiers is far less than that of Dahe soldiers. Without reinforcements, victory or defeat is really uncertain.
Moreover, in this era, imperial power was supreme, and their victory news should have been reported to the court as soon as possible.
The troops stationed in the west must also be mobilized by Xiao Heng.
"Two months is not enough, right?" Vice General Wang was the first to break the silence.
Liu Hong sighed, "Two months is indeed quite tight, but as long as we travel day and night and change horses at the post station, there may still be hope."
This seemed difficult to them, but Ling Chan had a way.
Her flying backpack can reach a maximum speed of 300 kilometers per hour, comparable to that of a helicopter.
It’s a pity that the flying backpack can only fly at high altitude for two hours and can’t reach the capital at all.
However, she still has one piece of equipment that she has never used.
It was an HQ high-end luxury smart car, modified to be bulletproof and explosion-proof...
