1250. Attack Qingchuan County(1/2)
The sky is getting brighter.
Only the heavy rain has not stopped.
The sky is hazy, everything is blocked by the rain curtain.
The bloody smell inside and outside the Xixia imperial guard camp was blown away by the rain and wind.
The bodies of the fallen soldiers were still piled outside the camp, just piled up, letting them wash away by the heavy rain.
This seemed inhumane, but Heliancheng and others were unable to do anything else.
In such weather, it is impossible to cremate them.
The atmosphere in the camp seemed quite solemn.
Although the four major military departments were repelled, there were many injuries to the imperial guards. The surviving military strokes had too many friends and brothers died in the fight last night.
The atmosphere in Longzhou City is also solemn.
The four soldiers of the army who returned to the city were inevitably depressed because of the failure of the attack last night.
Only Tuoba Wu, Wu Ge, Sikong She and others are not solemn because of this.
They were all worried about whether She Tuoli could successfully lead the army to Chencang to Qingchuan County, and even more so whether she could successfully take Qingchuan County.
If they can take over Qingchuan County, their situation will change greatly. If they cannot, the Western Xia imperial guards must be prepared and they will have to lead their troops to fight to the death.
That's a result that no one wants to see.
Near dusk.
It is about ten miles outside Qingchuan County.
A light rider galloped past.
There were very few flags in the army of thousands of light cavalry, and the soldiers just crawled on the horse's back and ran. After looking carefully, they could see that the sky-burning thunder were hanging on their bodies.
She Tuoli was wearing ink armor and a treasure knife on his waist. His eyes exposed from under his helmet were murderous.
It was originally more than two days to get from Longzhou City to Qingchuan County, but they were light cavalry, so the speed was naturally faster.
Even though I didn’t travel overnight last night and had a few hours of rest, I was still approaching Qingchuan County now.
On the towering mountain peak in the distance, soldiers exclaimed, "There are large groups of soldiers heading into the city!"
This is the beacon tower arranged by the Western Xia imperial guards.
Because Qingchuan and Longzhou City are very close to each other, there is only one beacon tower.
As the soldiers shouted, many soldiers immediately ran towards him.
After looking closely, someone hurriedly ran into the barracks.
Soon, another general wearing armor came out.
This general is just a centurion, but he is also the chief officer of this beacon tower.
He had a telescope hanging on his chest.
As soon as he arrived at the cliff, he immediately raised his telescope and looked into the official road from afar. Then his face changed suddenly, "It's the enemy! Let's set off the wolf smoke!"
Even if he couldn't see the banner that She Tuoli led to light cavalry, he could still recognize their armor.
A soldier hurriedly ran towards the beacon tower.
The wolf smoke was lit.
In an instant, thick smoke rolled on the top of the mountain.
The thick smoke rose up against the rain and quickly floated into the air.
On the official road, She Tuoli and others saw this scene.
She Tuoli just sneered.
He has led his army to attack here, and he is not worried that the news will be leaked again.
Even if you can see wolf smoke in the Western Xia Imperial Guard camp, it will take some time to come here to support it.
And he had no intention of stalemate with the defenders of Qingchuan County outside Qingchuan County.
After seeing the wolf smoke, he just shouted in a low voice: "Transfer to Longzhou City and let it hold the enemy camp! The army will follow me!"
He led the light cavalry and galloped towards Qingchuan County.
Soldiers in Qingchuan County also saw wolf smoke.
"The wolf smoke has started to lit up!"
"The wolf smoke has started to lit up!"
A soldier exclaimed at the top of the city. Then, in an instant, the sound of horns resounded on the top of the city.
On every city head of Qingchuan County, soldiers were carrying horns and blew hard.
I don’t know how many soldiers in the city hurriedly left the camp or other places, gathering towards the city wall.
In Heliancheng, Qu Rujian and the others led a large army to fight with the four major military departments, and most of the soldiers in the army followed suit. In Qingchuan County, the maximum number of defenders was no more than 10,000.
Even, there may be only a few thousand.
After all, in Heliancheng, Qu Rujian and the others led their troops to Longzhou City. No one thought that the four major military departments could break through their obstacles and kill Qingchuan County. Unless the front-line imperial guards were defeated.
In a blink of an eye, Qingchuan County seemed quite hasty.
Some soldiers were dying towards the city, and some soldiers were still transporting the city guarding equipment to the city.
It can be imagined that their preparations are not sufficient.
But soon, She Tuoli had already led the light cavalry to come outside Qingchuan County.
They did not hesitate outside the city. As soon as they approached the moat, She Tuoli shouted: "I'm sorry, please take down the suspension bridge!"
A master in the army roared out.
Although these masters do not have the cultivation level of the True Martial Realm, and even have very few masters of the Shangyuan Realm, it is not difficult to cross the moat.
Someone held the log in his hand and rushed to the moat and threw it hard into the river.
The logs break through the waves.
The people flew up and stood on the logs, approaching the inside of the moat at a very fast speed. It looked like they were all gods.
"Shoot the arrow!"
"Shoot the arrow!"
There are endless shouts of such shouts on the top of the city wall.
Arrows on the city wall were like rain, shooting at these masters in the rain, and some shot at the army behind.
A master in the moat was accidentally shot by a sharp shot and fell into the moat with screams. Blood soon emerged from the river.
She Tuoli led the army to the moat, and each of the light cavalry pulled bows and shot arrows on the horse's backs, plundering the formation for the masters who went to seize the suspension bridge.
Some strong men in the army even took out the sky-burning thunder and threw it on the top of the city.
Although such a formation is far less shocking than the battle between the four major military commanders and the Western Imperial Guards last night, it can be said to be quite spectacular.
Thousands of light riders lined up outside the city, and they could barely be considered all over the mountains.
Finally, a master rushed across the moat and rushed towards the city gate.
There was turbulent oil, thunder, huge rocks and other objects on the top of the city.
There were only a few dozen gun chariots.
This did not cause much damage to the army led by She Tuoli.
As the army and horses roared, some thunderstorms just fell in the sky, and a lot of broken mud was blown up in vain.
She Tuoli didn't know when he was already drawing his sword in his hand, looked at the city wall and shouted: "Brothers! I'll endure it for a while. When the Western Xia imperial guards were destroyed, I will take you to Zhongxing Mansion to have a good time. Not to mention ordinary girls, even those stunning sword-serving female officials who serve the empress in the palace forbidden, I will definitely try it."
After all, his habits remain unchanged. But in fact, these words are quite meaningful.
She Tuoli was warning these soldiers not to break the city and make trouble.
He knows the importance of the people's hearts.
But the soldiers in the army were all using this trick. When they heard this, their faces were full of excitement and they agreed loudly.
She Tuoli swung his sword and chopped the arrows that had shot in front of him into powder, and shouted again: "Kill!"
The inner energy of the word "kill" was activated, rolling like thunder. In an instant, it seemed that the sound of cannons was overwhelmed.
Then he saw his body suddenly shot out of the horse like a cannonball, crossing the moat and killing towards the city gate.
He is both a brave general and a top-notch player in the world.
The cultivation he showed at this moment was actually among the Zhenwu Realm.
With his strength, even if he has real power in the She Tuo family, no one dares to underestimate him.
After crossing the moat, She Tuoba even rose up from the ground and rushed straight towards the top of the city.
To be continued...
