Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The moon is dark and the wind is high, the sky is full of murders and arson.  At this darkest moment before dawn, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yu Wenyong came back and led an army of 60,000 to advance towards Jinyang City again.

    The cold north wind howled on the ground, covering up the sound of the Zhou army's march.  A battle during the day, with victory first and then defeat, and being trapped in a trap was not only a great shame for Yuwen Yong, but also an unbearable humiliation for tens of thousands of soldiers in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

    Although the night was dark and the wind was strong, the soldiers of the Zhou army felt their blood boiling and their hearts agitated.  They want to take revenge, to flatten Jinyang, and to kill Gao Xing. Only in this way can they wash away the shame of the day and regain their glory.

    "stop!"

    Yu Wenyong waved his hand to stop the march of the army and looked at Jinyang City two miles away from a distance.  There were a few scattered torches on the top of the city, flickering on and off under the cold wind, as if they could be extinguished at any time. At this time, the mighty Jinyang City seemed a little desolate, quiet, and seemed to be in a deep sleep.

    "Report!"

    At this moment, a knight in black appeared in the night and quickly came to Yu Wenyong.

    "How is the situation in Jinyang?" Yu Wenyong looked solemn and his voice was very low.

    The knight in black knelt down on one knee and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the top of Jinyang City is empty and the defense is very lax."

    Hearing this, Yu Wenyong couldn't help but feel happy on his face, punched his fist hard and said: "God is really helping me, pass the order"

    "Your Majesty, wait!" Before Yu Wenyong could finish his words, Wei Xiaokuan who was beside him interrupted him and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, be careful of the enemy's tricks to lure the enemy. We should proceed with caution." After saying that, Wei Xiaokuan rushed to the knight in black.  He asked seriously: "Tell the truth about what you saw!"

    "Yes!" the knight in black replied seriously: "There are not many Qi troops at the top of Jinyang City, and they were not strictly on guard. They smelled the smell of alcohol from a long distance away, and heard the Qi troops talking at the top of the city.  According to them, the Lord of Qi has rewarded the three armies tonight with plenty of food and wine, and even the soldiers on duty in the city have not been left behind."

    "Okay, okay!" Not only Yu Wenyong, but also the mature and cautious Wei Xiaokuan couldn't help but be overjoyed.

    "Wei Xiaokuan!

    "Wei Chen is here!"

    Yu Wenyong pulled out the sword from his waist with a "choking" sound and said solemnly: "I and your 30,000 elite troops will attack to the north gate of Jinyang. When the Qi army is attracted by our army to the west city, we will attack the city with all our strength. From now on  We must conquer Jinyang City at all costs and avenge our previous humiliation!"

    "I will definitely live up to my mission!" Wei Xiaokuan looked at Yu Wenyong solemnly, his tone was sonorous and powerful.

    Yu Wenyong wanted to break through Jinyang City and destroy the Qi State to restore his dignity and fulfill his lifelong ambition. Wei Xiaokuan even wanted to break through Jinyang and defeat Gao Xing. Otherwise, his guilt would not be cleared, and only in this way could he be worthy of Yu Wen  Yong's favor is worthy of the trust of millions of people in the Zhou Dynasty.

    "Set off!"

    Yu Wenyong took a deep look at Wei Xiaokuan, then stopped talking and led an army of 30,000 people on horseback towards Jinyang City.

    Before coming, Yu Wenyong had strictly required that all the soldiers under his command should have their feet bound with cotton cloth, horse bit rings, and human bits. They should make very little noise while marching. It was because the Qi army was too excited and too relaxed about the victory during the day, and in the dark of night.  Therefore, when the Zhou army approached one mile of Jinyang City, the Qi army on the city remained the same, drinking and laughing, not realizing that the enemy was close at hand.

    Being so close, Yu Wenyong could already see clearly what was going on in the city.  Sure enough, as the scouts said, the security on the city was very lax, and many Qi troops could be faintly seen in groups, drinking happily around the campfire, dancing, talking and laughing loudly, and it was very relaxing and comfortable.

    Moving his eyes, Yu Wenyong could clearly see through the flickering firelight on the city that under the cold city wall, it was completely dark and filled with dead bodies.

    Looking at their brown clothes, looking at the strange yet familiar, cold, pale and lifeless faces, Yu Wenyong's heart couldn't help but twitch, his fists tightened little by little, and his teeth clenched,  There was a creaking sound, and murderous intent emerged in his eyes, getting stronger and stronger.

    Looking at countless comrades lying on the cold ground, the 30,000 Zhou army couldn't help but have red eyes, their breathing was heavy and disordered, and their bodies were filled with murderous intent, and they couldn't help themselves.

    Since Yu Wenyong took charge of the Zhou Dynasty four years ago, he had experienced such a disastrous defeat for the first time in his campaigns in the north and south. In one day, no less than 20,000 Zhou soldiers fell under Jinyang City. This loss was not unbearable.

    "I'm glad, Gao Yanzong, today is the day of your death. I must destroy Jinyang and cut you into pieces to vent the hatred in my heart!"

    Yu Wenyong's eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and he was shouting crazily in his heart. When he heard the crazy laughter coming from the wall, the murderous intention and anger in his chest could no longer be suppressed, he no longer hesitated, and fiercelyHe raised his voice and shouted: "Warriors of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Empire, Yu Wenyong, ask you to join me in taking up swords and guns to defend the majesty and glory of the Great Qi, and to rescue the common people living in the water and fire.  Go and conquer the whole world!¡±

    "Wealth and glory are right in front of you. What are you waiting for? Soldiers, come with me and kill!" As he said that, Yu Wenyong swung the sword he held high in his hand forward and shouted: "Archers cover, sword and shield bearers,  Siege the city!¡±

    "kill!!!"

    With Yu Wenyong¡¯s actions, the thirty thousand Zhou army suddenly became excited, and their shouts of killing were like bursts of thunder, shaking the earth and tearing apart the dark night sky in an instant, breaking the silence of Jinyang City.

    At the same time, 30,000 Zhou troops quickly moved towards Jinyang City.

    Because it was a night attack on Jinyang, Yu Wenyong did not carry large siege equipment, but only made many ladders and ramming vehicles on the fly.  Although their ability to break through the city has been greatly reduced, their agility has also increased a lot.

    "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

    Such a huge formation of the Zhou army naturally alarmed the Qi army at the head of the city.  When the Qi army on the west wall saw the ferocious Zhou army coming from below the city like a tide, they suddenly screamed in surprise.  They never expected that the Zhou army would have the courage to return and attack Jinyang City again.

    The Qi troops at the top of the city were just drinking and having fun. Their formations were scattered and their armor was disheveled. Now that the enemy suddenly attacked, they couldn't help but be in a hurry. Many of them were drunk and their legs and feet were weak. The city was even more chaotic.  one slice.

    Seeing the sparse and commotion on the top of the city, Yu Wenyong felt hot in his heart, and he became more and more confident about the victory of this war.  But Yu Wenyong never noticed that a section of the city wall within 200 meters of the West City Gate looked very peaceful.

    "Catapults, archers!"

    "Fire the arrow, quickly!"

    ¡°Whoosh!¡±

    The Qi army roared from the top of the city, and arrows and stones rained down from the top of the city.  However, in the panic, the Qi army's long-range weapons could not form a formation, their accuracy was extremely poor, and the lethality they could produce was really unsatisfactory, and they could not stop the Zhou army's forward momentum.

    ¡°Swish, swish, swish!¡±

    Zhou Jun had suppressed enough anger. At this time, the enemy was right in front of him, and the murderous intention in his heart completely burst out. Five thousand crossbowmen approached the city wall, and arrows as dense as rain were thrown towards the top of the city.  The trembling of bowstrings and the shrieking of arrows in the air actually drowned out the sound of the wind.

    Screams and screams came one after another. Under the rain of arrows from the Zhou army, countless Qi soldiers fell down in mourning, and some drunken men were killed by the arrows ruthlessly.

    "Kill all the dogs and flatten Jinyang City!"

    The Zhou army was as powerful as a rainbow. Under the cover of the crossbowmen, the swordsmen and shieldmen quickly rushed to the bottom of the city and set up the ladder on the wall.

    "Boom!"

    With the concerted efforts of thirty Zhou troops, the giant tree, which was held in one person's arms, finally hit the city gate hard.  There was a dull loud noise, and Jinyang City couldn't help but tremble slightly, and sand and dust suddenly rustled down from the city wall.

    "My lord, is it time to take action?" Zhang Shunzhi, who was hiding in the arrow tower, asked Gao Xing beside him for instructions while looking at the Zhou army swarming into the city like locusts.

    "Send the order, let go of the rockets!" He nodded happily and walked out of the arrow tower first.

    Following Gao Xing¡¯s order, more than a thousand people who had already sharpened their knives came out from behind the bunker one after another, each holding a long bow. Flames shot up in sheets, and the city head suddenly lit up like daylight.

    Yu Wenyong saw it clearly, and his heart suddenly sank. However, before he could react, rockets poured down from the top of the city gate.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

    As the rocket landed, thousands of flames suddenly shot up into the sky in the empty land outside the west gate of Jinyang.  The wind helped the fire, and the fire took advantage of the wind. Hundreds of flames swept away quickly in all directions. In just an instant, a radius of 300 meters outside Jinyang City turned into a sea of ????fire.

    Both Yu Wenyong and the Zhou army were only aiming for a quick victory and swarmed to the city. They never expected that the Qi army would set fire to the city, and the fire was so big.

    "Run quickly! Run quickly!"

    No matter how elite the Zhou army is, when faced with irresistible force, Yu Wenyong's orders, wealth and glory are all forgotten. All they want is to escape and try their best to escape.

    "how come?"

    Yu Wenyong stared blankly at the soaring fire, and at the soldiers struggling in the raging fire and screaming in pain. His mind went blank, his face was extremely pale, his lips trembled, and he murmured to himself.

    "Yu Wenyong, I have been waiting for you for a long time, and you are finally here!" Just when Yu Wenyong was frightened and lost his mind, there was a sudden sound at the top of Jinyang City.?A very clear voice.

    Yu Wenyong woke up suddenly, his eyes staring through the firelight at the tall figure standing high on the top of the city.

    Happy!

    Even if he turned into gray, Yu Wenyong could still recognize him. It was this young boy who brought shame to the Gao family, made him disgraced and defeated, and even made him almost captured alive by Gao Yanzong and died in a foreign country.

    Yu Wenyong¡¯s eyes were about to burst, his face was violently distorted, veins protruded on his clenched fists, and his eyes were filled with endless anger and hatred.

    "Yu Wenyong, I have waited for you all night in vain. I want the 60,000 troops!" The happy voice was faint, but it was extremely harsh in Yu Wenyong's ears, full of ridicule, "Fire the arrow!"

    "Retreat, retreat quickly!"
