I’m The King Chapter 766: : The sound of drums and horns is sharp (38)

Ding Wei finally climbed up the wall again. This is his fifth attack today. The First Army of the Southern Group Army, under the personal supervision of the commander Zheng Xiaoyang, fought from sunrise to dusk , at the last moment when the sun set on the mountain, when countless torches were lit below the city, Ding Wei was finally the first to stand on the wall.

At this moment, his whole body was covered in blood and flesh, and the bandages on his body had already been chopped off into a mess. As an ordinary person, he could not hold on any longer, but Ding Wei held a breath in his heart, and this breath must be used. The honor of being the first to climb the city wall will disappear.

Howling, he jumped down from the top of the wall. On the wall, the last defenders had all retreated to the highest floor of the tower. Ding Wei has been very familiar with this face of Wu Bo, the general of the Yan Army who surprised Ding Wei in the past month.

The two stood facing each other across a dozen steps, with raging anger in their eyes, but one was the spark of joy that would reap the fruits after victory, while the other was the flame of determination in a desperate situation.

Countless troops from the Eastern Expeditions turned over from the city wall, controlling the entire pass. After being opened, Zheng Xiaoyang strode in, walked straight to the city wall, looked up and saw Wu Bo standing with a knife on the city tower, and the last hundred soldiers of the Yan army. The look in Zheng Xiaoyang's eyes was very complicated.

The army in front of them had once fought a **** battle with the Donghu people in Liaoning Wei. With more than 10,000 troops, it forcibly resisted the siege of tens of thousands of Donghu people. In the end, it was able to retreat completely. It's not a strong force, but such a force, it's time to be a friendly force. It can be your greatest help, but when it becomes your enemy, it is the opponent that gives you the most headache.

"Surrender!" Zheng Xiaoyang stopped Ding Wei who was about to attack. Looking up at Wu Bo, "Your mission is over. Don't make unnecessary resistance. In this world, it is not easy to live. It is not easy for you to come back alive from the Donghu people. The most important hero of our Eastern Army, I don’t know if you know Chen Bin and Luo Weiran. They are all in our Eastern Army, and I am fighting in the Eastern Army. Being in a high position and standing alone is far from what you can compare now. If you can surrender, I'm sure, with your ability, you will never be inferior to them, the Donghu people are still waiting for us to conquer, don't you want to seek revenge from the Donghu people?"

Listening to Zheng Xiaoyang's words, Wu Bo's eyes were a little dazed. Looking back at Dongfang, he seemed to be recalling the embarrassing years in Donghu, and he took a deep breath. Looking at Zheng Xiaoyang, he laughed loudly and said, "I have to say, your eloquence in persuading surrender is very powerful, and it can indeed pierce the weakest part of people's hearts, but I, Wu Bo, also have my own principles. I, Wu Bo, am loyal to Dayan, how could I bow down to you traitors."

Listening to Wu Bo's resolute words, Ding Wei couldn't help being furious. "Fuck you, I have to chop you into seventeen or eighteen dollars!"

Wu Bo pointed with a sword and a halberd. Roared: "Traitor, come to fight!"

Zheng Xiaoyang grabbed the furious Ding Wei. He said coldly: "Since he wants to die, let him die. Why do you need to fight him again?"

Raising his head, Zheng Xiaoyang said: "Okay, since you want to die, I will let you benevolent, come here, rocket, burn this tower for me!"

A fire blazed above the tower, but Wu Bo and his last hundred soldiers never rushed down the tower, and were finally reduced to ashes together with the tower.

When the fire ignited, Zheng Xiaoyang had already come to watch again, and then Ding Wei left, but Ding Wei looked back with a complicated expression and stared at Wu Bo who was still standing still in the fire, "This is a good man !”

"Of course he is a hero, but if he is not a hero of our friends, or the most troublesome enemy, it is better to die!" Zheng Xiaoyang said coldly.

"Commander, if you burn the tower of Xiaoshan Pass, you will be fine?"

"There is a fart, what is this Xiaoshan Pass used for, to guard against the Donghu people, and now the Donghu people have been beaten by us like a dog, and they will not be able to dance for a few days. What's the use of Xiaoshan Pass?" Zheng Xiaoyang said: "Besides, how many brothers of my First Army have died in this battle at Xiaoshan Pass. , I also want to demolish this Xiaoshan Pass, Ding Wei, take a good look at the last majestic appearance of this Xiaoshan Pass, because soon, this countless Xiaoshan Pass will no longer exist.”

A few days later, when the refurbished First Army set out collectively, the entire Xiaoshan Pass had been reduced to rubble. .

Hu Yanchao had just returned to Langya County, and before his **** was warm, the sad news of Xiaoshan Pass was sent to his desk. Seeing Wu Bo's final death so tragically, Hu Yanchao couldn't help crying, Xiaoshan Pass was captured by Zheng Xiaoyang Dismantling it into a piece of rubble made him even more frightened. This level is easy to dismantle, but the significance it represents inside is extraordinary. First of all, it shows that the Zhengdong Army has already saved to take down Langya County in this battle. Thinking, take down Langya and connect with Liaoxi. This purely military fortress has no need to exist. Second, Xiaoshan Pass is an important pass for Dayan to resist the Donghu people, and it has a symbolic meaning that cannot be replaced by other passes. , The demolition of this pass also shows that Zhengdong Army is full of confidence in defeating Donghu. They will not need Xiaoshan Pass at all in the future.

"Did God really want Dayan to die at the hands of this son?" Hu Yanchao was in pain.

Xiaoshan Pass was broken, and the other side of Xinchang was also occupied by the Zhengdong Army. I was actually made dumplings by the Zhengdong Army, so I couldn’t advance or retreat. But Ye's fiefdom, one son and one daughter left by Ye are all in the Zhengdong Army now. It would be strange if the Zhengdong Army didn't think of using these two chess pieces.

We must win Xinchang and open the road to Tianhe. In this way, we may retreat to Tianhe and leave a way out.

"Come here, order Wang Chang, no matter how much he pays, he must take Xinchang down for me." Hu Yanchao wiped away his old tears, summoned his own guards, and sternly said.

Xinchang, in the past, was not a very important place, it was just the main road from Langya to Tianhe County, and it is for this reason that this small county is very rich and prosperous. There are tens of thousands of residents living in a small county town, and the first thing Lu Yuanchuan did when he arrived in Xintian was not only unexpected to all the people in Xintian, but also unexpected to all the soldiers of the Zhengdong Army.

Lu Yuanchuan ordered to expel all the people in the city, leaving no one behind.

Every time the East Conquest Army goes to a place, it can be said that it is benevolent and righteous to the local people. Not only does it never disturb the people, but it also provides many subsidies to the people. The point of restoring stability is that this is the first time that people have been expelled like this.

Looking at the officers under his command who were looking at each other, Lu Yuanchuan said coldly: "Tell them, those who want to live, leave immediately. Each of them is allowed to bring three days' rations and only carry-on items. , then you can’t blame me, you don’t have to be polite to them, but if you have doubts, talk to them with a knife.”

Under the persecution of the shining swords and guns and the vicious soldiers, the city of Xintian was in chaos. Amidst the curses of countless people, all the people of Xintian were expelled from Xintian County within a day. , Now, in the entire county, there is no one else except the soldiers of the East Army. Next, Lu Yuanchuan tried his best to strengthen the city wall and build the city defense. Xintian County has hardly experienced war. The war defense here There are almost no facilities. Several bed crossbows in the arsenal in the county have long been rusted and rotted. A few soldiers who found this thing thought they had a treasure, but they stepped forward and moved it lightly, and it fell apart. A few soldiers didn't catch the bed crossbow, but were covered in ashes.

All the gates of Xintian County were blocked. Lu Yuanchuan only wanted to do one thing, and that was to guard Xintian relentlessly and strangle this main road leading to Tianhe County before reinforcements arrived. It is expected that Hu Yanchao will soon go through a counterattack. If Xiaoshan Pass is breached, Hu Yanchao will definitely try his best to get through Xinchang, and he will face even greater pressure. The main force led by Tie Xuan carried a large amount of baggage, and I was afraid that they would not be able to catch up for a while. If they could last one more day, the hope of the main force would be even greater.

Under the leadership of Lu Yuanchuan, the Eastern Expedition Army in Xintian City is preparing for everything they can think of to defend the city under the leadership of Lu Yuanchuan. When the residents of Xintian County are driven out, He only brought three days' rations and some personal belongings. Over the past few days, the soldiers of the Zhengdong Army have found a large amount of oil and other things in the city, all of which have been piled up on the city wall, and under the city wall, countless dried firewood and thatch.

When everything was ready and the enemy army arrived, Lu Yuanchuan became anxious instead. He was looking forward to meeting the enemy earlier and fighting to the death. He also hoped that the enemy would come later so that the main force could catch up in time. arrive.

Waiting is always the most painful thing.

While Lu Yuanchuan was anxious, Wang Chang was also very anxious. He was still on the march, so he waited for Hu Yanchao's order and learned the news that Xiaoshan Pass had been broken. He also understood that Xinchang had to be won, and he had to rely on himself, because Hu Yanchao's main force now had to deal with Zheng Xiaoyang who had broken Xiaoshan Pass.

Wang Chang could only push the troops forward.

Next, he met the people who were expelled from Xintian City in Luoyi, which shocked Wang Chang even more. (to be continued)
