Chapter 356: Capture the King First
What you hear is not as good as what you see.
Tiele Khan's army on the southern front was unwilling to believe Qiu Jinyu's words, but they all saw the heads clearly.
They will not admit their mistake, this is the face of their general.
For a time, the morale of Tiele Khan's army was in chaos, and even the Hu generals turned pale.
Yin Li took this opportunity to break up the Hu army's formation and gain the upper hand.
Qiu Jinyu and Ni Tianji's figures flashed and disappeared into the sky.
The north and south sides of Chang'an City were in chaos, and the main forces of both sides gathered.
The surprise attack team composed of Su Zhizhi and others launched a sneak attack on the east side where the defense was relatively weak.
When Qiu Jinyu and Ni Tianji arrived at the East City Gate, they were still holding the head in their hands, and they repeated what they had just shouted at the South City Gate.
Qiu Jinyu shouted fiercely, and Ni Tianji shook the head in his hand, and a few drops of blood splashed down.
When the soldiers guarding the city on the east side saw Helian Shuchi's head, they instantly lost their backbone.
"Now! Do it!"
At Wu Yingniang's command, Su Zhizhi and others used their strengths to attack the Hu people.
At this time, a part of the Black Mountain Army lurking in the city also arrived inside the East Gate and cooperated with the surprise attack team.
The Hu people were either killed or escaped.
The fighting was fierce on the north and south sides, but the East Gate was the first gate to be breached.
Su Zhizhi held the bloody whip and said to Qiu Jinyu with admiration:
"Aunt Qiu, thanks to you. This must be done very realistically for them to believe it."
"No big deal." Qiu Jinyu waved her hand.
The head in Ni Tianji's hand was not Helian Shuchi's head, but the head of a dead Hu soldier.
The last time they went to rescue Yuan Chi, Qiu Jinyu and Yuan Chi both saw Helian Shuchi's appearance.
Therefore, they came up with a plan this time to find a corpse and disguise it as Helian Shuchi to disrupt the enemy's morale.
Qiu Jinyu disguised the person and showed it to Yuan Chi. They thought it was at least 80% similar, so they dipped some blood on it and tried it out.
Now it seems that the effect is unexpectedly good.
“There’s actually such a method!”
Ning An and Yuan Caiwei were extremely surprised.
They didn't know that the art of disguise was so magical that it was difficult to tell the real from the fake.
Although it was a bit bloody to look at a severed head, I still couldn't help but watch it.
Ning An said, "If I were to disguise myself as Helian Shuchi, wouldn't I be able to give orders?"
Su Zhizhi: "Aunt Qiu can draw a face that looks like her, but it's hard to change a body shape. It's easy to tell, and we don't speak their language."
Su Zhizhi had thought of this method before, but unfortunately it was rejected.
After the East Gate was opened, the Dayu soldiers who had been ambushed outside the East Gate rushed in and occupied the interior of Chang'an City.
Wu Yingniang jumped onto her horse, spear in hand:
"Let's go to the north gate!"
Everyone mounted their horses and went to the northern line to lend a hand.
When Su Zhizhi and his group arrived at the north gate, the Hu people, the Black Mountain Army, and Dayu's previously surrendered troops were fighting fiercely.
Helian Shuchi was indeed no ordinary man on the battlefield.
Even when faced with the sudden betrayal of Jiang Gan and Jia Kun and the unexpected blockage of the city gates, she was able to remain calm and command her troops to fight.
The sky gradually darkened again without anyone noticing.
The wind and snow are about to come at any time.
The winter wind cut everyone's cheeks, and everyone's armor was covered with blood and knife marks.
Helian Shuchi also suffered some minor injuries.
She never put down the bow and arrow. The bowstring in her hand made a "clicking" sound as it was pulled to the extreme.
As soon as his right hand loosened, the arrow rushed towards the opposite side with a sharp sound of breaking through the wind.
Helian Shuchi had previously shot and killed Jiang Gan, and later killed Jia Kun.
Anyone who surrenders to her will but dares to betray her will never be allowed to live.
Above the north gate, Wu Yingniang and others helped the Black Mountain Army that arrived earlier to occupy the gate.
Looking at the chaotic scene of fighting below, Wu Yingniang said:
"Catch the leader first!"
The members of the surprise attack team set their sights on Helian Shuchi.
The city gate opened a crack, and Wu Yingniang and others rushed out on horseback.
Wu Yingniang squeezed her legs against the horse's belly and rushed towards the Hu camp first, with Ning An following closely beside her.
The long spear was like a dragon emerging from the sea, instantly piercing the chests of several Hu soldiers in front, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
Hua Erniang, Qiu Jinyu and Ni Tianji sprinkled poison powder on the Hu soldiers around Helian Shuchi.
"Take my whip!"
Taking advantage of the fact that the Hu people were poisoned and dazed, Su Zhizhi swung her golden dragon whip into the air, wrapped around the necks of the Hu cavalrymen, and pulled them off their horses.
Then, Bai Xun and Yuan Caiwei came over with swords in hand.
Yuan Caiwei: "Try the power of my new sword technique!"
The master and his disciple raised and lowered their swords, chopped off the fallen Hu man.
Old Xu, who has profound internal skills, looks the most mysterious at this time.
He directly sent out a palm strike through the air, using his internal force to knock the Hu soldiers away...
The surprise attack team cut straight into the heart of Tiele Khan's army like a sharp sword, and rushed towards Helian Shuchi after defeating all the enemies.
The personal guards around Helian Shuchi fell one after another.
Old Xu, Bai Xun, Yuan Caiwei, Ning An, Su Zhizhi and others all protected Wu Yingniang and fended off the incoming Hu people for her.
Wu Yingniang directly fought against Helian Shuchi.
Helian Shuchi also drew out a scimitar to fight back.
The spear and the scimitar made a sharp collision sound, and the scimitar in Helian Shuchi's hand trembled due to the tip of Wu Yingniang's spear.
Helian Shuchi raised his eyebrows in surprise:
"Heh, Dayu also has women who can fight."
Wu Yingniang thrust the red tasseled spear forward:
"Based on your skills and strength, you are qualified to enter our Black Bandit Mountain. It's a pity that you are a Hu people! You are a barbarian. You have invaded our border and killed our people. Today is the day you die!"
The two exchanged several moves.
Helian Shuchi was best at long-range archery, but was far inferior to Wu Yingniang in close combat.
She struggled to hold back and intended to retreat.
call out--
At this moment, a plum blossom dart passed through the crowd, headed towards Helian Shuchi, and pierced her waist.
She felt pain in her waist and her movements slowed down for a moment.
And at this moment, Wu Yingniang's spear pierced Helian Shuchi's arm and twisted it hard.
"ah--"
Helian Shuchi roared and the scimitar in his hand fell.
She was injured in two places, her center of gravity was unstable, and she fell to the side.
Ni Tianji took advantage of this opportunity, flew over, picked up Helian Shuchi, and flew all the way to the Black Mountain Army camp.
This time, what he held in his hand was the real Helian Shuchi.
"Great General!"
"General!"
When the Hu people saw that Helian Shuchi was captured alive, they immediately became confused.
Wei Dashuan shouted:
"Helian Shuchi has been captured! Why don't you surrender immediately?"
Qin Xiao and Murong Di commanded the Black Mountain Army to defeat the demoralized Hu people.
At this time, the surprise attack team withdrew from the Hu people's camp and returned to the city gate again, commanding the Black Mountain Army to shoot arrows at the Hu people from a high position.
Many Hu people were killed on the spot, and many others fled in a panic.
The Hu horses neighed, frightened in the smoke and dust, and fled north in panic with the Hu people on their backs.
Wei Dashuan put the knife on Helian Shuchi's neck:
"When you led your army into Dayu, did you ever imagine this day would come?"
Helian Shuchi's face was stiff, but the fierceness in his eyes remained unchanged:
"You cowards from Dayu, if you want to kill me, just kill me, don't talk nonsense!"
The battlefield was noisy and the clamor was about to pierce the eardrums.
Amid the harsh noise, Helian Shuchi's face turned pale.
Because she suddenly heard the voice of her son Helian Bozhi.
"Mother--!"
