Rebirth of Tao Yao

Chapter 64 Killing Heart

It’s just a few hundred Hu soldiers. They are cavalry who are not good at siege, and they don’t have any siege weapons in their hands. It’s just a dream to take down the high walls and thick border towers of the city, and siege warfare is often the war that consumes the most troops. up.

Yan Li and Prince Huo Da stood on the tower and watched a good show.These more than 800 royal cavalry were really brave. They relied on the three ladders to attack the city. When they were most successful, they even made a few soldiers climb up the wall.It's a pity that there were only a few of them. They were outnumbered, and they couldn't even get close to the prince they wanted to rescue, so they were hacked to death on the tower.

It was also death in front of the eyes, and the blood was spilled all over the ground. This time, Prince Huoda no longer had the calmness that he didn't bother to lift his eyelids before. Drops of blood—the two thousand royal court warriors he brought, who thought they would be able to reap the benefits and retreat, but who knew they were about to collapse under the city here.

If, if all the soldiers and horses who went south this time were lost here, those ambitious tribes would be seriously injured, but it would be even worse for the Wang Ting who lost two thousand warriors, and he is the sinner of the Wang Ting!

Prince Huoda was really angry for a moment, but he is a smart man after all, and he is also a wise man who spares his life...

The movement at the gate of the city quickly spread to the inside of the city. Although the siege battle of hundreds of people was not fierce, the current border town can be called a panic.Especially the remaining Hu soldiers in the city, they knew very well that only their own people could attack the city at this time, so they gathered from all over with hope, and approached the north gate cautiously.

Yan Li no longer paid attention to the movement outside the city, because of the disparity in the strength of the two sides and the defenders had the advantage of defending the city, this siege battle with only a few hundred people would soon come to an end.He turned his gaze to the city, perhaps condescending, perhaps with sharp eyes, he soon discovered something, then turned his head to Prince Huoda and said: "Look, they are coming."

It was indeed coming, Yan Li found four or five groups of people at a glance.They were scattered in different streets and alleys, approaching the city gate cautiously, hoping that their companions outside the city could open the gate of the border city again.

But of course they can only be disappointed.

Yan Qing suddenly let out a roar, and suddenly many people appeared on the originally empty roof.They had obviously been ambushing here a long time ago, so they didn't waste any time at this time, and without waiting for the reaction of those Hu Bing who appeared, they raised their bows condescendingly and shot.

For a while, there were wailing sounds in the city, and the mess was a bit more noisy than outside the city.

The wooden frame that tied Prince Huoda turned around when Yan Li turned around. At this moment, his position is even higher than that of Yan Li, so he can naturally have a panoramic view of everything that happened in the city.This time, watching these fellow clansmen die before his eyes, he was no longer as indifferent as before, but felt a chill down his back—he secretly looked at Yan Li, and felt that this young man was far more ruthless than he had imagined.

Slowly, Prince Huoda lowered his eyes, and the expression on his face returned to calm.But no one knew that at this moment, he had already made a decision in his heart, deciding that as long as he could escape this time, he would definitely eradicate this young man.Taking revenge today is one aspect, but more importantly, if such a person grows up, he will become a serious disaster in the future!

It just so happened that Prince Huoda had a murderous intention, and so did the young man beside him.

****************************************************************************

Hu Bing was going to be killed, and the hostages were going to be exchanged. Therefore, after the initial ambush and murder of a group of people in the city, Yan Li didn't do anything wrong—he just ordered a group of people who could speak Hu to stand on the tower. Shouting things like "Prince Hoda is here".

Prince Huoda himself felt ashamed and indignant when he heard this propaganda, but obviously no one would care about him.

Not long after, another group of people appeared under the city tower. They were undoubtedly the elite of the royal court and Prince Huoda's loyal loyalists.Most of the other tribes felt panic when they heard the yelling, and maybe they ran faster and hid farther, but this group of people would not, instead they would show up on their own initiative.

It was the leader who was so angry that he jumped to his feet yesterday. His eyesight seemed to be pretty good, and he could see clearly the people tied to the wooden frame from a long distance. He couldn't believe it and shouted excitedly at the same time: "Prince?!"

At this moment, Prince Huoda finally didn't need to gag his mouth, it was still Yan Li himself who tore out the rag stuffed in his mouth.The little general threw the rag down the wall in disgust, then raised his eyebrows at Prince Huoda, and said, "The prince should discuss the exchange, so as not to cause any misunderstandings."

Prince Huo Da coughed a few times, took another deep look at Yan Li, and then called out the name of the Hu Bing leader to the tower below the city—he knew that most of the soldiers and horses outside the city were dying, and he hated him to death. But he can't fold here anyway.So he didn't play any tricks, and the commandment briefly stated the exchange of hostages.

After explaining to his subordinates, Prince Huoda turned his head to look at Yan Li next to him, deeply apprehensive in his heart, but barely able to maintain his composure on the surface: "This general, we wise people don't speak dark words. , The exchange of hostages is certainly possible, and the King of Yan is not as important as my life. But this is a border town, and it is your territory. If we exchanged in the city, we would still be shackles, but it is really meaningless."

Yan Li naturally knew what he meant.The exchange Prince Huoda wanted was to save his own life, but if they were still trapped in the city after the exchange, his life would not be guaranteed.That being the case, why bother to do this, he might as well drag King Yan to be his back!

As long as he is not a fool, the exchange of hostages cannot be completed under such a premise.

Yan Li knew it well, and didn't seem to care about it, and replied quite sincerely: "Yes, we can exchange outside the city gate." As he said, he turned his head and glanced outside the city. It's nothing, so he said again: "Those people outside the city should not have many left, I'm not afraid of you playing tricks again."

When Prince Huoda heard this, he blurted out angrily: "You..."

He was furious, but he only yelled out the word "you", because he knew that the situation was stronger than people.Now his little life is still in the hands of the other party, and he doesn't want to ruin his life because of a moment of anger.So the anger in his heart was suppressed, and he even pulled the corners of his mouth, showing a forced smile: "Since the general said so, then so be it."

After saying this, he gave instructions to his subordinates under the tower again.Didn't he know that this clear order of his, and his furious and forbearing appearance before falling into Yan Li's eyes, would only make his murderous intent even stronger!

Not long after, the commotion outside the city completely subsided, and the explanation in the city has been properly done.

Yan Li walked to the lookout and looked down. He saw corpses all over the ground, saw unowned horses, and heard the wailing of those who were dying... But in a short period of time, the soldiers and horses that were aggressive before were no longer there. threaten.

After thinking about it, Yan Li ignored these losers and ordered: "Open the city gate."

It stands to reason that Yan Li does not have this right, but after he met Yan Qing, not only did he give him the trump card, but also gave him the tiger talisman Yan Qing used to mobilize troops and horses.With these two things, Yan Li can exercise the power of Yan Qing as the chief general, and even Yan Qing will be responsible for any mistakes, and Yan Li does not have to bear any responsibility.

Therefore, the order was quickly executed, and after the city gate was opened, those Hu soldiers who were hiding were ready to move.Someone rushed to the door, and even if they were killed by the defenders who were obviously superior in number, only Wang Ting's troops were finally released from the city.

Seeing King Yan being escorted and slowly passing the city gate below, Yan Li's eyes could not help but deepen a little bit - his move was actually a bit risky, if these people took advantage of the city gate being opened and left Huo Prince Da ran away with King Yan, but he could hardly absolve himself of the blame.But his intuition has always been accurate. He intuited that Prince Huoda didn't want to die, and he also intuited that those in the royal court would not abandon their prince.

Fortunately, Yan Li's bet was right, those people did not run away after leaving the city, but waited obediently under the city.

"The land of one shot, we exchange outside the land of one shot." Prince Huoda made a request when he was tied into rice dumplings and taken down the tower.

Yan Li was noncommittal, he looked at the number of troops outside the city, and also ordered 50 people to escort Prince Huoda out of the city.It's just that a little accident happened when passing by the pile of "Hu Bing corpses" under the city tower. Under the previous blows, some people who were alive and moving rushed out and attacked Yan Li who was walking at the front of the team.

Yan Li is not afraid of such an attack, let alone a sneak attack. His vigilance is something normal people will never be able to match.Therefore, the man who rushed out to sneak attack quickly fell under his horse, with a ferocious expression on his face.

Prince Huoda took a look when he was being escorted by. It was Turgu, the mighty general of the royal court who died in the hands of a young general from Liang.

For Prince Huoda, his expedition was a big defeat. Not only did he fail to earn military merits, but he also lost troops. Even if he returned to the royal court, his life would not be easy.At this moment, his heart was already covered with a layer of haze, and Turgu's death added a bit of darkness to this haze.But to Yan Li, this person and this incident are just a small episode.

The place where the shot was shot was not far away, and Yan Li and the others escorted Prince Huoda to the place soon.This shot refers to the distance between the city tower and them, and the distance between the two teams is also a shot, or even a little further, 150 steps.

The two parties in the exchange were very straightforward, as they had agreed before, and there was no need for too much nonsense, so King Yan and Prince Huo Da were tied to the same horse.Then both sides let go at the same time, and let the horse trot towards the opponent's team. In order to prevent the horse from being tampered with, they also specially plugged their ears and blindfolded their eyes.In this way, both the man and the horse are restrained, so there is no fear of mistakes at the moment of exchange.

There were indeed not many mistakes, and the exchange was completed smoothly. Prince Huoda had just been stopped by his subordinates, and before he had time to let him untie himself, he hurriedly said: "Go!"

On the other side, just as King Yan was rescued by the sergeant, Yan Li had already raised his bow and arrow—his arrow could shoot 160 steps at most!
