Chapter 69 Abandoned City
The climate in Dongou is very strange. The weather is quite cold, but the bamboo leaves are still green. ︾ A gust of wind blows, and the bamboo forest makes crackling sounds. As if there is something strange between heaven and earth, several horses are galloping on the mountain road between the bamboo forest. On the horse are sitting with knights with black helmets and black armor. They have hideous faces and long swords on their waists. Spears are hung on the saddle, quiver on the butt, and strong crossbows are also carried on their backs.
This is the scout of the Yun family. The old rules always go five miles away. After five miles, there is a huge Yun family team. The guards faithfully execute Yunhou's orders, because they can save everyone's lives by releasing the scouts more than once.
Although they are from Jiangnan, the guards of the Yun family are not used to the weather in Dongou. The cloak was tightly wrapped around their bodies, and the leather mask that they had only used in the north was placed under the armor. A scarf was also wrapped around their necks, and a thin cotton jacket was under the sound of scales.
Cotton is not very expensive, and people in Chang'an City cannot afford to wear thin and warm cotton jackets. Each guard of the Yun family has two sets of cotton coats and cotton pants. One is thick and specially worn in the winter of the 9th century. The other is thinner, which can be worn in spring and autumn.
Yunhou’s army is always so humane, not only does it eat first-class food, but also wears first-class clothes. Naturally, these cottons are all sent by Donghu.
The black-armored knight took off the wine gourd hanging around the horse's neck. Although the copper-skinned pot was exquisite, it contained too little wine. It was far less satisfying to drink the wine gourd. The guards of the Yun family still liked to use this thing to drink wine.
After a sip of clear rice wine, a burning sensation from the throat to the stomach. The feeling of the ** is quickly spread throughout the body. The wine in Dawangcheng seemed to be better than that of wheat. The mellow taste completely made Dahan's Hun wine into water for washing pots.
The wine gourd just hung, and I saw the bamboo forest moving in a disharmonious manner when I glanced at the corner of my eyes.
"Metaphor..." The leading black-armored knight strangled the war horse, and the horse's hoof nailed to the horseshoe made a "click" sound on the gravel road.
"Head! What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" The knights took off their longbows one after another, and their deadly feathers were already on the bowstring. As long as there is any abnormal movement, lightning will be shot out at any time.
"There are people in the bamboo forest." The black-armored knight looked at the bamboo forest that was constantly scattered.
After the black armored knight said that, the wolf-toothed arrow in his hand had already shot out. Just as he was speaking, he had already discovered the man's position.
"Ah..." A long scream cut through the sky above the bamboo forest. The scout's arrow seemed to have stabbed a hornet's nest, and countless arrows were shot out from the bamboo forest. It was as dense as the hail in summer. Fortunately, the Dong'ou army used the bows as strong as the Yun family's bows. The bronze arrow hit the iron armor and sparked up, but there was no one penetrating armor.
"Ding..." An arrow shot onto the helmet. After the spark flashed, it bounced away.
"Are you alert, there is an ambush in the bamboo forest." The leader greeted the knight, who was in charge of the fireworks alarm, took out the monkey in the sky and stroked the saddle, and sparks began to flash.
"Squeak..." "Bang..." A wisp of blue smoke slowly drifted in the sky.
"Retreat..." The black-armored guard waved his hand and quickly left. The scout's responsibility for reconnaissance is not a battle. If it can be avoided, they should go back and report the situation here first.
The arrows shot out from the woods are relatively scattered, which is obviously caused by haste. However, the number of arrows is still very considerable. At least the people in front of them are ambushed in the bamboo forest on one side. Look at the other side, there are also shadows. There are probably many people ambushing them.
"Bastard, who asked you to shoot?" Ou Zhenyang used a whip to whip these idiots. This was obviously just a team of scouts. The target of the ambush was the Han army in a large group, and he actually let a few scouts break the ambush.
"General, they saw through the ambush and shot us first." The captain made a helpless sophist.
"Our bow can't penetrate their armor." A soldier next to him looked at the arrows covered with arrows on the bamboo forest and shook his head helplessly. The arrows lying on the ground seemed to be mocking them, and they couldn't even shoot the other party's armor. How can we talk about ambush? When the arrow shot onto the helmet, the arrow was bounced away. The confidence of the Dong'ou soldiers instantly collapsed.
Ou Zhenyang looked helplessly at the arrows scattered all over the ground, and slowly lowered the whip. The King of Dong'ou ordered him to come here to ambush the Han army. But he didn't expect that the bow and arrow could not even shoot through other people's armor. What's the point of fighting in this battle? The second brother Ou Zhenming's literary and military skills are far above him. He was not defeated by the Han army, but his life and death are still unknown.
"Retreat!" Ou Zhenyang ordered helplessly, and he couldn't even shoot through his armor. That's all, that's a big deal. It's not like a mountain this place, it's impossible to use a wooden rock.
"Are there an ambush?" Yun Xiao looked at the guys in front of him, and only two horses were shot in one arrow. The veterinarian was releasing the doctor.
Yun Xiao touched the scratches left on his helmet with his hand, rubbed his index finger and thumb. "You can't even shoot armor like this, you're afraid of it. Let Dayuanjun sweep it, but these guys probably have started running. As long as they rely on crossbows to ambush, they can't even shoot armor, and they can't even shoot armor!"
Yun Xiao patted the smirking scout. The material of the Yun family's armor is steel. What is the arrow of the Dong'ou people? The one who is damn is bronze. I use bronze because you don't have iron armor. You use bronze arrows to make you die. The armor made of fine steel is also something you can shoot through.
The team was ordered to continue moving forward at this speed. It should be able to reach Eastern European City at noon tomorrow. Yun Xiao really hoped that Dong'ou King Ou Zhenfu was a backbone guy. It would be great if he had the courage to fight with him with the city. He didn't want to play hide-and-seek with Ou Zhenfu all over the mountains. The game would be dead. It would be better not to play it if he could not play it.
The army ignored the demonstrations of the Dong'ou people, and the four-wheeled carriage crushed the arrows. As Yun Xiao expected, Ou Zhenyang took his men to escape along the bamboo forest. Faced with his unbeatable opponent, the younger brother of the Dong'ou King wise chose to retreat.
Dong'ou King Ou Zhen is going crazy, and Gongsun Gui, who caused the accident, fled without a trace. He also robbed the bandits of Poyang Lake and along the coast of Poyang Lake. Ao Long also died, which was said by the guy who came back from Yueyang. It is said that he died miserably. The envoy who lobbyed Yun Xiao fled to the Han territory with gifts. He was afraid that he would not be able to find it after ten or eight years.
The best brother is gone, and I heard that he is still drinking in Taimu Mountain. And yesterday he sent Ou Zhenyang, who ambushed the Yun family, to run back tiredly. He brought a message that his bow and arrow could not penetrate the Yun family's armor.
After it was over, everything was over. A series of blows made Ou Zhenfu sway left and right. He didn't understand why he offended the Yun family. The news about Ou Zhenyang became the last straw that crushed Ou Zhenfu. He couldn't even shoot through other people's armor and kept his yarn.
"Brother Wang, according to me, there are only two ways to go. One is to surrender, but it seems that the people who surrender to the Yun family have no good ending. They have the habit of killing prisoners. Besides, the old bastard Gongsun Gui killed an important general of the Yun family, and even if he surrendered to the Yun family, he would definitely not give us good results.
Second, we will leave the city and flee far away, and take away all the things we can take away. If we can't take them away, we will stay in this palace. The Yun family is greedy for money. If we have packed up the gold and silver, no one will chase us. The Yelang King is close to Brother Wang, so let's go and join him.
In a few years, when the Han army withdraws, it is not impossible for us to borrow some soldiers from King Yelang and then kill them back. I hope Brother Wang thinks twice."
Ou Zhenyang had lost the courage to continue fighting. He had checked the soldier who was shot to death. He had an arrow penetrated his brain and his entire skull was shot through. What a powerful bow. I heard that the other party had even stronger crossbows. If he didn't fight under the powerful crossbow, he would have lost 10% of the battle.
"But this Eastern European city is the foundation of our ancestors. If it is lost, what will happen to me?"
"Brother Wang, today's retreat is just to fight back next day. Goujian, the King of Yue, had been sleeping in firewood and tasting gall for ten years, but in the end he was not defeating the powerful Fuchai.
Brother Wang’s literary and martial arts are especially good at Goujian, so why can’t he bring his brothers back and take back the foundation of his ancestors.”
"Forget it, forgot. My brother took the people to clean up overnight, let's go to Yelang. I was a sworn brother who scolded the king of Yelang. It should not be difficult to have a place to settle down wherever I go.
Your second brother is still in Tailao Mountain and sent someone to inform him. Let him tell him to turn the story. Yelang is looking for us, and our brothers are sleeping in Yelang to taste gall, and try to kill him as soon as possible."
Ou Zhenfu's words were crying, and he lived in Eastern European City for the rest of his life. Unexpectedly, he was forced to leave now. For some reason, he actually thought of the father and son of King Liu Bi of Wu. Both were defeated and avoided disaster, and were also chased by the Yun family. In the end, he was killed by Ju Meng outside Dongou City. Even his head was cut off and given to the Han emperor. Will he follow Liu Bi in the footsteps? Ou Zhenfu was worried.
Ou Zhenyang and his soldiers quickly packed up all kinds of fine and soft clothes, picked up gold and picked up valuable pieces of clothing, and took treasures, and took beautiful belts. Anyone who could not be taken away would not be discarded. Ou Zhenyang needed to use these things to hinder the pursuit of the Yun family, and gold and silver were the most leg-wrapped. How many willful rangers could not pull out their legs after seeing these yellow and white things, let alone those bitter soldiers.
In Ou Zhenyang's eyes, the black-armored guards of the Yun family were just some trained mud legs. When they saw these gold and silver, they might have internal conflicts.
Under his intention, the tiny pieces of gold and silver were thrown everywhere in the palace. The people in the palace were neighing and making noise all night, and all the people in the palace were driven out of the palace and each person was sent to the severance fee.
Until dawn the next day, the closed Dongou City Gate opened. Countless cars and horses emerged from the Eastern European city and rushed towards the south.
The sun rose from the east as usual, and the residents of Eastern European cities were frightened for a night. They suddenly found that there were many people from the palace on the streets.
