Chapter 249 Thousand Army Thin City

On April 30th, as Di Lie expected, the sky was cloudy and the sky was getting heavy and a small summer rain.

Di Lie and the military and civilians of Khahubao noticed that the Xia army's rangers today were much more than ten cavalry than before. They were originally only more than ten cavalry, but today they were more than 3 or 40 cavalry. Obviously, what I have always been worried about is likely to come true.

The reinforcements the Xia army was waiting for finally arrived - this was Di Lie's judgment, but his reinforcements were still unreal. He didn't even know whether Xiaoliu and Gouzi delivered the secret letter... Di Lie has decided that in two days, his legs will be neat. If the reinforcements have not arrived, they will be considered as the secret letter lost. He will break through the encirclement and go to Taiyuan in person. Although killing Hu Fort will be destroyed because of this, he will lead the army back to revenge the soldiers and civilians of the entire fort.

In the chaotic world, life and death are just as leisurely as a person. Being able to take revenge after death is the greatest comfort.

The reinforcements of the Xia army have indeed arrived, and we should thank this timely rain. If not, the Xia army would launch an attack today. The heavy rain will have an adverse impact on the cavalry operations and bowstring launches. Therefore, the attack today is cancelled. But what will happen tomorrow?

On the first day of May, the sky is clear and the sun is rising. This is a good weather suitable for war.

Di Lie didn't go hunting today because he had finished doing this last night - yes, he chose to go up the mountain to hunt in the middle of the night. Because after the increase in Xia army's rangers, all directions had been blocked. Obviously, this was a plan to be in one fell swoop.

I can't go up the mountain during the day, so I can only move at night. The Xia army's ranger will calm down for a while at night. At least it will not block the east and west directions. In this era, there is no turret at night. I cannot look at things, travel through mountains and rivers, and I cannot alarm the nearby enemy cavalry. How strong is this military quality? Don't even think about killing the military and civilians of Hubao. Therefore, the Xia army's ranger is not worried that the prey will slip away from its own eyes.

At the end of April and the beginning of May, it was the day of the dark moon, and the moon was sparse in the sky. The visibility was so low. Di Lie turned on the night vision device. This was a good thing that was bright with a little starlight. Without much effort, he hunted a small wild boar. Di Lie knew that there must be a big wild boar nearby, but he was not a hunter, but he was just a foodie, so he was very satisfied with the harvest of a small wild hunt of 30 to 40 kilograms. With this grain reserve, it was enough to support another two days and complete the expected waiting.

In the early morning of the first day of May, Di Lie woke up and looked at the sky, and began to move his legs, feet and arms. He knew that he would be very busy after not long. It was very good, and his injuries were recovering very strongly. The arrow with a wide palm was completely scabbed, itchy, and it was probably about to fall off the skin; the fracture was almost healed. He could already shake off the crutches and walk slowly. As long as he did not do vigorous exercise and jump, there would be no major problems.

Di Lie was moving his body, but when Sun Zhangong's angry voice came from afar, he was alarmed. When he went out with the two girls, he saw Sun Zhangong standing in front of the Ximen enemy building roaring.

Di Lie walked slowly up the fort wall and looked at the vast plain for a while. He did not find any special circumstances at the moment, so he greeted Sun Zhangong: "Sun Zuo, why are you angry?"

Sun Zhangong turned around with anger on his face. When he saw Di Lie being asked, he restrained a little. He hesitated for a moment, glanced around, lowered his voice, and the voice seemed to squeeze out from his teeth: "Huang Jinlu, run away!"

Di Lie was not surprised. This guy had such a thing two days ago, and he wanted to get around the female soldier under his command... But now he just thought about running, isn't it a little late?

Sun Zhangong said in a muffled voice: "He ran away before dawn this morning. I guess he knew that the Xia army was about to increase its troops, so..."

Di Lie looked at Sun Zhangong's dark face and said with a smile: "Why didn't General Sun Zuo run away?"

Sun Zhangong glared: "What kind of person is that I am! All the children of the people in this castle are pointing at Sun's life. Sun ran away, leaving them behind, and letting the bald thieves slaughter. I can't do such a thing... Besides, in the current situation, do you think you can run away if you want to?"

Di Lie stared at a grass under the castle wall, as if there were flowers blooming on it. After a while, he nodded slightly and said lightly: "You are right, can you run if you want to run?"

As he spoke, he saw the grass tremble gently from stillness, and then it trembled more and more quickly, as if he was afraid of something. The gravel, weeds, and soil beside him were shaking, and the earth seemed to turn into a dustpan, sifting all the floating objects.

As the earth shook, cavalry all over the mountains and fields appeared in the southwest line. Countless flags floated, and the morning light shone with the shiny armor and soldiers gathered together, giving anyone who witnessed this scene a sense of heavy and powerlessness that led blocks fell into their hearts.

The team of cavalry with distinctly armored dodged to both sides, and behind them were groups of infantrymen. The armor and weapons of these infantrymen were far from comparable to those of cavalry, but they were more successful than that of cavalrymen, so there was no need to set up any formation. Just lined up in one line, which was enough to make the defenders who killed Hu Fort tremble.

"Oh my God! What do these bald thieves want to do? Do you want to flatten the Kill Hu Fort?"

"It's the Capturing Army! It's over, surrender!"

The soldiers and civilians who killed Hu Fort basically didn't know what Li Zhiyong was doing. Facing the Xia army who mobilized such a large army, they felt like a group of ants facing a big cart and huge wheels. There was no suspense that would be crushed into powder.

"Catch, live, army!" Sun Zhangong gasped, his eyes no longer revealed his despair, but his heart was ashamed.

Di Lie frowned. In the past few days, he also learned about the situation of the Western Xia army from Sun Zhangong. The captured army was the elite army of the Western Xia army, with a total of about 100,000 people, and the main task was to undertake attacks and mobile combat. Because he captured the enemy army as slaves alive in the battle, he was named.

The Iron Harrier was composed of strong and brave men selected from the various armies in the Xia Kingdom. They were all heavily armored cavalry, with only 3,000 people, divided into ten teams, each with 300 people, and were stationed in Xingqing Prefecture and belonged to the main force of the Central Guards. Li Zhiyong's father, Li Liangfu, was the commander of Xingqing Prefecture, and directly commanded the Iron Harrier Army. So this time Li Zhiyong went to the training and transferred more than a dozen cavalry to make him look strong. Unexpectedly, he fell to the ground one after another and shot bullets.

Some of the information here is not something that the generals of the Sun Zhangong level can know, but Sun Zhangong was once a general of the Sun Ang family. He could not help but listen to these things, and he heard more and more knowledge.

In the past, those who deal with primary small forts such as the Khahu Fort were mostly local troops under the jurisdiction of the various military supervisors of the Xixia Xia Dynasty. Although the number of people was large and there were 500,000 troops in the country, their combat effectiveness could basically be comparable to that of the Song Dynasty. The battle that Di Lie witnessed when he first arrived at the Khahu Fort was a boring battle against the Xia army. If it weren't for the highlight of the two iron kids making a brilliant appearance later, the combat effectiveness of the Xixia army would have declined even more severely in Di Lie's mind.

"The Capture Army is here... Well. There are about three or four hundred cavalry, about a thousand infantrymen, and the enemy is a hundred times that of me. What does General Sun Zuo want to surrender?" Di Lie's tone was actually very relaxed, just like asking Sun Zhangong whether he should go out for a walk in such a good weather.

Sun Zhangong stared at him, his lips moved, and he was about to speak. He saw two cavalry suddenly rushing out of the Xia cavalry formation opposite. The two cavalry stretched out their hands long, and there seemed to be something like a fishing net in the middle. When the two cavalry quickly ran to the front of the enemy building fifty steps, they loosened their hands, and the fishing net was thrown to the ground with the momentum, and rolled over a few times. They actually stood up - uh, it turned out that there was a person in the fishing net!

The man rolled and crawled through the net and screamed: "June Head, save me..."

Huang Jinlu! Kill everyone in Hubao, including the newcomer Di Lie and the master who heard the voice.

Di Lie and Sun Zhangong looked at each other, and Huang Jinlu did not run away.

After the two cavalrymen left Huang Jinlu, they looked at Huang Jinlu, and turned their horse's head, circled around, and seemed to run towards the formation. But they ran for only twenty steps, and suddenly picked the bow and arrow, and turned back at the same time - whim! Two arrows shot quickly, hitting Huang Jinlu's back heart. One of the arrows was fierce and came out of their left chest, and there was a small piece of lung leaf fragment in front of the arrow...

Huang Jinlu's call for help came to an abrupt end, his eyes were bulging, and his mouth was blocked by a large blood clot. He was so loud, but he couldn't spit out a word.

Puff! Two more arrows, one through the brain and the other through the neck.

Huang Jinlu fell to the ground without saying a word like a piece of wood. His thin body was twitching and twitching constantly, like a dead fish dyingly jumping on a dry riverbed...

Sun Zhangong's lips trembled and his tiger's eyes were filled with tears. Even though Huang Jinlu escaped at the battle and his crime was unforgivable, he could not help but feel sad and angry when he saw that his robes died in front of him for many years. His nails were filled with flesh.

"Without a stick of incense, hand over the demon who used evil spirits, and tie the entire castle up and down to the formation. If the deadline is not reached, the army will lift the reins and step on the killing castle." After the two cavalrymen of the Capture Army roared, raised their big bows high, and cried like crowing roosters, and rode their horses back to the formation.

Di Lie turned his head and looked at Zhao Yuxian. Her face looked very calm. She was neither sad or happy about Huang Jinlu's death nor moved by Xia Jun's threat. She just held the gun handle tightly in her right hand, and the blue veins on the back of her thin white hand appeared.

Ye Die'er, she was playing with a grenade in her hand - yes, it was the tactical grenade that Di Lie gave her. She always remembered what Di Lie said, this thing is too powerful and should not be used unless it was absolutely necessary. Therefore, no matter how tightly Han Chang chased her, she did not throw it out - of course, fortunately, she did not throw it away, otherwise it would have been emptied and wasted. But the situation in front of her might be able to be used.

Di Lie shook his head at Ye Die'er, signaled her to put away the grenade, turned to Sun Zhangong and said, "Will Sun Zuo tie himself up?"

Sun Zhangong's eyes were red, his forehead was thundering, and hissing: "But what can I do?"

Di Lie nodded: "Since that's the case, I will take a shortcut with the two maids for a while and take a leave first."

Sun Zhangong stared and said, "Where can you avoid?"

Di Lie stretched out his hand and pointed to the northwest mountain peak.

Sun Zhangong looked like he didn't know what to say: "You don't think you can escape by hiding on that hill, right?"

"Did I say I ran away?"

"Then what are you doing?"

"Didn't Xia Ren say that he wants to catch a demon? Since he is a demon, of course he has to do it. I just do it."

After Di Lie said that, he calmly went downstairs with his two daughters and left the south gate. Although he had already made it clear, Sun Zhangong did not believe that he was the "demon" mentioned by the Xia people, which made no sense...

Perhaps the strength of the Xia army and the Kill Hu Fort was very different, and the entire Taishan Mountain was suppressing eggs, so there was no encirclement of the Kill Hu Fort at all, so Di Lie and the other two were able to leave the Kill Hu Fort at the South Gate.

The reason why Di Lie chose to go up the mountain instead of sniping in the enemy building was because the height of the enemy building was not enough, the Xia army had many troops and horses, and the flag was shining, making it dazzling and it was difficult to find the target. He needed a better angle.

Seeing Di Lie and the other two coming out, the Xia army also divided four horses, fast horses and long bows, and chased them.

"Give me your daggers, and then run to the top of the mountain as soon as possible," Di Lie raised his hand to take the two long daggers that the second girl threw while running, and followed behind her slowly.

In fact, as long as he is willing, Di Lie had no time to assemble the sniper rifle and kill the four capturing cavalry companies 300 meters away. But he could not do that, which undoubtedly declared that he was the person the Xia army was looking for, which was very unwise. And if he missed the opportunity to kill the enemy general and save the situation, it would be even more worthwhile.

Sniper can only strike the most valuable target, thus playing a wonderful role similar to fighting, which is like a slight move.

After all, Ye Die'er and Zhao Yu'an were both women and could not run fast, not to mention that the other party was still riding a horse. Di Lie's leg injury was not healed, and his speed was about the same as the two women. When it was two hundred meters away from the foot of the mountain, four cavalry caught up.

At this time, if the other party shoots an arrow or hits a horse, even if Di Lie can protect himself, it will be difficult for the two women to protect him. However, these four cavalrymen have no intention of taking action at all. They find a strange cry in their mouths and point at the three people running with a whip, laughing and hilarious.

Di Lie held the dagger in his hands, hid behind his elbow, pretending... Uh, he was running around while he was running, and he seemed very embarrassed without pretending. On the surface, he was embarrassed, but he felt relieved: The bet was right! The Qinsheng Army really wanted to capture him when he saw him.

A lame woman, two young women, were not threatened, and of course she had to be captured alive as slaves. This is the inertial thinking of the soldiers of the capturing army. Di Lie used the enemy's mentality of plundering to safely run the last 200 meters and went into the woods at the foot of the mountain with the two girls one after another.

The four cavalrymen of the Capturing Army jumped down from the saddle without waiting for their horses to stop, and their skills were quite neat. They did not take bows and arrows, but only pulled out scimitars and short axes from their waists, and quickly surrounded the three of them.

Two soldiers captured the life and surrounded Di Lie, and the other two chased a girl. With the quick skills of the soldiers captured the life, how could the two women run away? In panic, they didn't know what they tripped, and they screamed and fell to the ground one after another. The two soldiers captured the life and laughed and leaned over and pinned them.

Ye Die'er's originally downward body turned, biting a strand of black hair in her mouth, stretched her jade arms, and the eagle-mouth gun almost hit the chest of the capturing soldiers - puff! With a muffled sound, the skin breastplate of the capturing soldiers suddenly became deteriorated. The lead bullet that was blocked by the breastplate was a castrated lead bullet. Under the imbalance, it flipped and knocked into his chest, bursting a blood hole as big as an egg on his chest. Because the distance was too close, the lead bullet was particularly strong after entering the body, and it rotated and rolled endlessly, stirring the internal organs of the capturing soldiers to pieces.

Another soldier who captured the life turned around in surprise when he heard the sound, and his mouth couldn't help but open his mouth. At this moment, a cold iron tube was stuffed into his big mouth, and a low muffled sound was heard, smoke was sprayed on his mouth, and blood was scattered on the back of his neck...

The two capturing soldiers surrounding Di Lie were confidently shaking their scimitars and threatening them. The corners of their eyes still glanced at the other side, wanting to watch the show... It was indeed a good show, so good that they were shocked. At this moment, they saw two cold lights flying up at the corners of their eyes, and their throats were cold...

Since the two guns were close-range shooting, the sound was dull and small, it did not alarm the Xia cavalry formation five hundred meters away.

Di Lie wiped the dagger on the body and returned it to the two girls, then waved his head: "Go up the mountain quickly! You must kill their chief general before the Xia army reacts and sends someone to check."
