Chapter 302 Cats and Mouses (Part 1)

How could Song Xiaoai make everyone kill Wu Wending in a daze? It would be strange if Xiao Wu didn't fight her when he came back.

But when she shouted with words, the officer of the Central Army immediately said with confidence: "Mr. Song, the grain supervisor, has surpassed his position, broke into the general's tent, and criticized Shangguan. The seventeen ban laws and fifty-four beheaded him has committed three crimes, and the crime is unforgivable. If you don't punish this person severely today, you will be able to follow the rules of the army. How can you use military laws to order the three armies in the future?"

"Ah? This person... is so familiar with military rules..., it's so annoying!"

Song Xiaoai swallowed his saliva and said in a hurry: "It is a taboo for the military strategists to kill the generals in front of the formation. We are about to go to war. This..............................., let's take him into custody for the time being. Wait until my official comes back before dealing with it."

After hearing what the officer in the middle of the army, Song Xiaoai couldn't immediately release Wu Wending in front of the generals, so she had to bite the bullet and said.

On Lingxiao Mountain, Wu Hanchao led more than 300 people to disguise themselves as men, women, young and old. Some carried bags, some carried loads on their shoulders, and fled to the mountain in a panic manner along forty-eight turns.

The Duzhang barbarians on the mountain had already seen the spies in the dark and immediately sent a warning message to the mountain. These days, the clan members fled up the mountain, and the Ming army's offensive was extremely weak. The barbarians on the mountain had already become lazy. When they heard that there were only more than 300 people going up the mountain, the leader guarding the pass didn't care.

The spy threw a stone high on the mountain and asked a few questions. Someone in Wu Hanchao's army answered in barbarian language. Most of the spy went suspiciously, and the group got through the eyes and ears of the barbarian guards and went up the mountain with a swagger.

When he arrived at the first checkpoint of Lingxiao City, Wu Hanchao observed secretly. Seeing that the walls on both sides were cut like knifes, a city in front of him was stretched across. The city was tall and thick, and there was no grass everywhere. He couldn't help but feel awe in his heart.

There is a stone plaque on the top of the city, with two large characters "Ling Xiao" with flying dragons and phoenixes on the top. The handwriting is mottled and there is no signature below. It should be the work of the Song Dynasty's city-building general, but I don't know who made it.

Several barbarian generals on the top of the city were sitting at the squadrons of the city walls standing like mirrors. They drank and ate meat. Looking down from the bottom, they looked several feet tall. These people were barefoot with their feet barefoots, with their chests and abdomen exposed their dark skin. Wu Hanchao's skin was not like a barbarian, so he didn't dare to look at it anymore. He took a look and quickly lowered his head and pressed the bamboo hat on his head.

There was a faint voice on his head. Then someone shouted to the city, and the person who had arranged in advance answered in barbarian language, saying that they were refugees who escaped from the Zhuer Village. They crossed the mountains and ridges because the small mountain villages nearby were all captured by officers and soldiers. They rushed here to join Lord A Ya.

Although the Zhuerzhai is not far away, it is extremely difficult to walk on the mountain road. The local Duzhang barbarians usually don’t have much contact with them. Wu Hanchao deliberately said it farther away, because most of the local Duzhang barbarians have fled up the mountain, and they are afraid of pretending to be nearby villages, and they may happen to meet the people in the village. Once they are asked about their names and names, they will inevitably miss them.

Although he was far away, Wu Hanchao sent someone to Zhuerzhai in advance. He found out the situation of every grass and tree there, so as not to be exposed to interrogation. The people on the mountain heard that they were from the neighboring county and seemed unwilling to accept it. They muttered for a long time but didn't see anyone coming down.

Wu Hanchao whispered a few words to the side. Some wolves pretended to be exhausted, threw down their backpacks, and sat down under the city gate without any warning. They were lying or sitting down, and some deliberately dispersed their bags, revealing the gold and silver things in them, shining brightly in the sun.

These wolf soldiers are used to barefoot, their feet are all calluses, and they can run around on the rubble. The officers and soldiers do not have this ability. Their appearance and skin are similar to those of the barbarians. They deliberately complain and talk to each other loudly in barbarian language, and talk to each other and talk about it on the city tower, even under the city, there is no flaw.

Among the wolf soldiers, all of them are pretty and thin young people. Zhuang men sang folk songs since childhood. They all have a good voice and can reach a high level. At this time, they deliberately twist and speak in some women's voices, or cry. Although they hear it like ghosts crying and howling wolves, they are so ugly that they can't help but fall on the top of the city, and the sound of nature.

The generals in the city were drinking wine and saw Jin Yin and the woman again. They were quite moved for a moment. A burly man looked down at the city, suddenly threw down a big bone stick, and shouted a few words in Man's words.

A wolf soldier with a disheveled hair and a black face quickly grabbed it and picked it up. He nodded and thanked the people on the city. He didn't bother to worry about it, so he picked it up and chewed it. The man on the city laughed and asked loudly, "How is your boss now?"

The leader of the Sha'er Village is not a member of the A tribe, so it's no wonder that the barbarians in Lingxiao City are not so intimate. However, they should recognize each other, so a wolf soldier replied loudly: "The Dubatou people were killed by the officers and soldiers, and our local people were all broken up. We took our family to hide in the mountains for three days, avoiding the search of the officers and soldiers, and then we rushed to surrender to Lord A Ya. Lord A Ya is the great hero who is the master of the barbarians, and only he can protect us."

The man on the city wall laughed loudly. He turned his head and gave a few instructions, and then disappeared from the top of the city.

After a while, the huge city gate sounded loudly, and someone shouted inside: "The head man allows you to enter the village. After retreating, the woman and the old man come in first and prepare a gift to honor the duck head man."

Wu Hanchao was ecstatic. He put his hand behind him and quietly made a gesture. The city gate was only half open. Just as the opening of the gap of more than one person was opened, Wu Hanchao jumped over, kicked in the air, and stomped heavily on the heavy city gate.

There was a loud "bang" sound, and a scream came from behind the door. The city gate only kicked a distance of less than two people wide and then rebounded. Wu Hanchao was shocked, and immediately held his sword in his hand, flashed into the crack of the door.

Wu Hanchao flashed into the door and glanced at the gate quickly. He couldn't help but curse inwardly. It turned out that there were not only horizontal woods on the gate, but also a stone behind the gate. Such a solid city gate shows that the army has no chance to carry the bumper wood up the mountain. Even if it can be carried up, the rocky road steeply to the gate in front of the gate makes it impossible to hit the city gate with all its strength. The layout inside is really a wall of iron and impeccable.

If Wu Hanchao hadn't made a quick decision, he would attack the door immediately after seeing the opportunity. As long as the barbarians poked their heads out and saw something strange about the old woman at the door, they would never have the chance to break the door.

Wu Hanchao had a lot of strength before the door. The big man who was carrying a stone behind the door had just lifted the stone from the bottom of the door. Wu Hanchao kicked it backwards and pushed him against the wall of the city gate. The end of the stone was deep above his chest, and blood was gushing from his nose, but his collarbone and chin were smashed by the stone. The other end of the stone land pressed against the lower end of the city gate, and the city gate did not open wide.

Wu Hanchao swung his sword as sharp as a dragon, his figure was as graceful as a terrifying geek, and his phantom flashed and the sword light shuttled quickly killed the three barbarians who were the first to be hit. After awakening from shock, the barbarian rushed over howled. A wolf soldier who had just squeezed into the crack in the door could not dodge and was stabbed to the heart with a bamboo gun of the Duzhang barbarian.

Wu Hanchao roared, and the sword light flicked back, cutting off the bamboo gun, running forward with a short leg swept the approaching five people out, rolling all over the ground, two of them were swept off their ankles by him, hugging their knees and screaming wildly.

Wu Hanchao stopped and kept stopping. He immediately bounced back and kicked the stone to the ground with one kick. Then he grabbed the corpse of the barbarian who was about to fall and threw it out with his backhand to block the barbarian's attack. At the same time, he grabbed the city gate with one hand and shouted suddenly: "Open!"

The door of the Tongmu wood weighing more than a thousand pounds was rumbling open with one hand, and then Wu Hanchao brushed his sleeves with a robe. More than ten gold darts were scattered out in the wind and rainy way, then he raised his sword and rushed up, like a flying bat, pounced into the chaotic barbarians.

The city gate behind was wide open, and the wolf soldiers rushed in with shouts and fought with the barbarian soldiers who were swarming up in the city gate.

"Fight quickly and decide quickly!" This is Wu Hanchao's death order.

The wolf soldiers admire the hero. When this hero is their leader's prospective son-in-law, admiration becomes respect. Not only do they want to grab the city gate, but they also want to protect Wu Hanchao's safety to the death. Everyone strives for the first place. It is not a common weapon, nor is it the mandarin duck formation that is best at the coordinated attack and defense of the seven people, but they are still the bravest wolf soldiers.

The barbarians also knew what the pass was like, so they rushed up one by one, hoping to suppress them here while the place under the gate was narrow and the officers and soldiers were not suitable for spreading them, until they drove them out. But who could deal with a green sword in Wu Hanchao's palm? Moreover, his other hand was filled with endless money darts and kept wielding them casually.

Although the wolf soldiers used short weapons, they were equipped with crossbow arrows worth ten taels of silver each, and each of their left and right arms was equipped with one bullet. They shot them without any pain. The flesh and blood bodies could not resist at such a close distance. The fierce wolf soldiers rushed into the gate with corpses all over the ground, and the first level was in a full melee...

When the wolf smoke rose from the city of Lingxiao, the barbarians of Nei Pass had already received news that the officers and soldiers had planned to earn the pass. They were panicked and were organizing their troops to retake the pass before the Ming army brigade arrived. Jin Shoujie, who had already arrived at the back mountain, also saw the beacon smoke and immediately commanded his soldiers to start attacking the "Broken Needle Rock".

The cracks in the canyon, which was more than seven meters wide, were not deep. As soon as the officers and soldiers rushed out of the hidden place, the barbarians immediately pulled up the floating bridge. The Ming army had already cut down dozens of tall trees from the forest, and people were carrying and shouting toward the rock entrance. The officers and soldiers behind them kept firing arrows to suppress the barbarians and covering them lying over ten meters of tree trunks across the broken rock.

It was too dangerous here, and pedestrians were still trembling when passing by the pontoon bridge. If these scattered trunks were not tied together, it would be impossible for anyone to rush over. However, the Ming army showed a very realistic appearance, and some people were holding ropes and wooden boards to look for kidnap the pontoon bridge. The barbarian guarding the mountain was really anxious. He immediately raised the fire and released an emergency signal to ask for help from the city.

The barbarian army that had just gathered in the city was about to rush to Chengguan when suddenly the fire in the back mountain broke out and was even more panicked. The army immediately divided into two groups, rushed to Houshan to reinforce, and rushed to the front mountain.

The barbarians who had just applied for the past had experienced the power of the Ming army. The loose clan rule model was not able to control them well, and immediately had a strong counter-effect.

Panic, cried, scolded, fled, and ran around, which immediately affected the morale of the soldiers who had never fought with the Ming army in Lingxiaocheng. Being infected, the riots and panic between the elderly, weak, women and children made the barbarian leaders even more annoyed. A fierce barbarian leader cut down six or seven cowards who screamed, "The Ming army is going up the mountain, run away quickly", and then temporarily controlled the situation.

There were only about 3,000 soldiers who could fight in Lingxiao City, and there were more than 400 people at the first pass. With the danger here and the war method that was dominated by cold weapons at that time, these 400 people were enough to deal with the attack of the 40,000 army. However, even if a sharp-tongued crocodile was penetrated by someone, he had no place to use his skills, not to mention that Wu Hanchao's more than 300 soldiers were carefully selected and brave warriors.

A group of barbarians swung bamboo spears and pounced down from the city wall. More than a dozen wolf army soldiers immediately met. Three feet away, the dense spears were raised, and the wolf army soldiers raised their hands one after another, looking very strange.

A series of light "kneading" sounds came out. With the beautiful sound of mechanical clumps, rows of crossbow arrows shot out. The barbarians who had just rushed down were immediately stunned by the arrow rain, and a group of people fell down.

The remaining barbarians didn't know what messy things would appear in the sleeves of Mingjun's sleeves, and screamed and were about to dodge. The wolf soldiers had already taken advantage of the harassment, raised their swords and rushed into the gap in the gun array.

When a brave man meets on a narrow road, the moment when the war is close together, there is prepared to kill but not, as a cold light flashes, a smooth road paved with blood appears in the gun array.

With a roar like thunder, a barefoot and bare belly raised the nine-ring sword and jumped down from the city. He waved the sword like a horse, lowered his head and wanted to pick up the wolf soldier who used to use bamboo guns caught off guard. Two big heads flew up in response, stirring up a day of blood rain.

The wolf soldiers around him roared and rushed forward, but the light single sword and the heavy nine-ring golden-backed machete made a sour friction sound. Not only were the three single swords cut off on the spot, but a wolf soldier was unable to withdraw and half of his arm was cut off, and he screamed and retreated.

The barbarian man was extremely powerful and very fierce. He swung his sword across his hand and rushed forward, with almost no enemy under his command. More than ten wolf soldiers were killed in succession. Under his leadership, the barbarian army rushed forward again.

At this critical moment, a figure rushed over. The barbarian with a knife had just swung his sword to slash at a wolf soldier whose bamboo spear was cut off. The sword was like lightning, and a cold light hit his blade, stabbing a series of fire. The big sword tilted, and the wolf soldier was almost dead and still alive. He took a few steps back with a pale face and was held by his comrades.

Wu Hanchao flew down, smiled contemptuously, and said to the big man: "What a great strength, but it's just about great strength."

When the barbarian saw him holding a light sword in his hand, he roared and slashed. Wu Hanchao's body was light and his sword was flying. He calmly felt in the whistling sword light of the wind. The barbarian sword light was lingering everywhere in the field.

However, in this battle, the barbarian was forced to retreat step by step, and the sword tip was constantly appearing on the ground, sometimes in his throat and sometimes on his shoulders, and it was almost touching the corner of his eyes, making him dazzled and could only dance with a big sword. The two of them had almost never collided. Apart from the howling sword wind, they only heard a few pleasant "ding" sounds occasionally.

The barbarian swung his sword quickly and retreated faster. Suddenly, he felt his heel tightening, and there were stone steps behind him. The barbarian's body couldn't help but pause. After just one sprint, the sharp tip of the sword had hit his throat, half a piece of flesh was pouring in, and blood was dripping. The barbarian man immediately froze there.

"This man is a leader, tied him up!" Wu Hanchao noticed the golden ring on his left ear, the silver ring on his neck, and a small bronze drum on his waist. The wolf soldiers under his opponent ordered.

The barbarian and man were captured, and immediately, like a shock wave, quickly disintegrated the will of the entire pass resister. While shouting, "Ah Ya-headed man was captured by the officers and soldiers, he threw down his sword and gun and turned around and ran away.

When the soldiers who understood the Manyu felt something strange when they heard it, they hurriedly reported to Wu Han. Wu Hanchao was very surprised. He hurriedly took two prisoners. After signing it, he realized that he had picked up a huge advantage. The Lord of Lingxiao City was the barbarian man who was captured alive by him. This guy ran to the gate to drink with the guards. Unexpectedly, he was captured alive by Wu Hanchao.

The evil duck was captured, and the first pass of Lingxiao City quickly changed hands. More than 200 barbarians were killed. The rest quickly fled into the second pass. Then they closed the door tightly.

The stupidity of the barbarians was just in line with Wu Hanchao's intentions. The scared barbarians were holding the wood tightly inside. Wu Hanchao ordered people to pile up stones outside to block the gate. The enemy and us worked together to block the door tightly.

When the barbarians in the village reached the gate, they couldn't help but curse when they saw this scene and immediately asked people to open the city gate quickly. However, a stone wall that was already piled up outside was already piled up outside, and the door was covered with firewood and hay. As soon as the city gate opened, a fire broke out outside immediately, and someone fired arrows after the fire. They could not imagine rushing out of the city gate for a while.

The situation is now inverted, and it turns into officers and soldiers guarding the passes and barbarians attacking the city.

Wu Hanchao quickly rectified the remaining wolf soldiers and rescued the wounded. At this time, more than 200 people were left. He arranged 150 people to guard the pass and block the enemy. The rest rescued the wounded, bandaged the wounds, and transported the bodies of the dead comrades.

Wu Hanchao climbed to the top of the city and looked at the foot of the mountain. He saw the Ming officers and soldiers receiving the news. He was rushing along the rock path of the mountain. He couldn't help but feel relieved: This pass has been truly taken down.

He walked to the tied evil duck and looked at him coldly. He said, "Are you an evil duck? The imperial army is going up the mountain. In order to avoid the trouble of living beings and committing more murderous crimes, I will now give you a last chance to immediately order the stubborn protesters in the city to surrender. I will never kill prisoners."

The evil duck widened his eyes and heard the explanation clearly that he couldn't help laughing to the sky: "Hahaha, you dream! Even though I was captured, my brother Aying is still in the city, and he can still fight you. Ada has ordered that even if everyone dies, he will not give up Lingxiao City. I want to see how many lives your officers and soldiers will use to fill the city!"

Wu Hanchao caught a glimpse of Song Xiaoai rushing forward with a knife and was about to arrive at the city with his officers and soldiers. He shook his head, turned around and left, and said, "The offense and defense are easy to attack and defense. He has lost his power. He is still unconscious. He is stupid, he is a sinister and cannot survive!"

The evil duck stared at the big egg-like eyes and asked fiercely: "Wu, dog official, what did you say? Hello, what did he say?"

The wolf soldier in charge of the translation saw that the adult had left and was too lazy to talk to him, so he said bluntly: "Sir, you are stupid! You are trying to die! You are dead!"

The evil duck was furious and squirted his face with a "pah". The wolf soldier was furious and slapped his palms forward and backward, slapped his palms sorely before stopping. Then he looked at the evil duck as if he had a pig's head on his shoulder.

Seeing Wu Hanchao appear at the city gate, a big stone in Song Xiaoai's heart fell to the ground. She was already sweating profusely and her body was almost exhausted. When she saw Wu Hanchao, she felt relieved and her feet became soft. She tripped on the stone steps. She couldn't help but scream and walked forward.

Seeing this, Wu Hanchao hurriedly jumped forward, grabbed her, and hugged her in his arms.

Song Xiaoai ran so hard that her heart beat like a drum, and her sweat was sweating. Her plump and slender thighs were close to Wu Hanchao's lower abdomen. Wu Hanchao felt that the hot thighs and muscles were still pounding uncontrollably, which was clearly a symptom of exhaustion.

Xiao Ai was worried about his safety and had done her best. Otherwise, no matter how good her daughter's family was, how could she rush to the forefront of the entire army?

Wu Hanchao was very moved. He was so moved that he red eyes, he held Song Xiaoai's delicate body tighter again, and said softly: "Xiao Ai, you... your thighs are so strong..."

"Ah!" Song Xiaoai's face was blushed with shame, and his raised fist was about to hit him, but it fell into Wu Hanchao's chest and turned into a gentle slide. Although Wu Hanchao knew how to say something teasing, how could the touch and love in his eyes be hidden?

Love doesn't have to be said, they prefer to use this way of playing and making jokes to express their infinite joy in their hearts...

The arrival of the Ming army reinforced the first pass turned into a copper and iron wall. Aying, who had originally ordered people to fill the soil and put out the fire, was eager to break out of the second city gate, saw this and immediately ordered the city gate to blockade and then beat the wooden sticks and stone roof again.

The offense and defense were easy to attack and defense, and at this time, the Ming army outside filled the land and put out the fire, moved the stones, cleared the roadblocks, and prepared to attack the city. The archers kept rushing into the ground to take advantage of the number of people to launch densely at the city head. They suppressed the barbarians and covered the activities of soldiers under the city gate. The barbarians' weapons were backward and could not resist, so they concentrated their troops to pile up blocking objects at the city gate.

Song Xiaoai briefly understood the situation and asked someone to tie the evil duck to the city gate to call him Guan. The evil duck guajiji used slang to curse him. The soldiers who knew the mandarin language pretended to be deaf and dumb. They didn't translate it, and it seemed that they were swear words that were difficult to say.

The evil duck refused to call the city, and Aying defended the city, neither opening the city gate nor going to the top of the city to respond. The two stalemates were in a row. General Lin Shen led his men and horses, hugging ropes, rushing to wooden hanging ladders and other research equipment.

When Song Xiaoai saw the siege soldiers arrived, Liu Mei couldn't help but scolded: "Cut him down and sacrifice the flag to attack the city!"

Most of these wolf soldiers have been with them, and the evil ducks killed the most wolf soldiers in the ground. They were hated by these wolf soldiers. As soon as Song Xiaoai arrived, someone made a report and one of the people killed was Song Xiaoai's distant cousin.

Song Xiaoai first hated him, but then saw that the barbarian leader looked disgusting and swearing. He was already impatient, so when he saw reinforcements arrived, he immediately ordered someone to chop off his pig's head.

When the wolf soldier next to him heard the head man's order, he immediately rushed up one of them, raised his sword and flew up his head with a "pop". Judging from the passion of the technique, this guy was probably from the "head-behead trio".

Wu Hanchao watched coldly. It was not to stop it. The evil duck relied on the court and did not want to cause rebellion. He repeatedly tolerate his tolerant mentality and unscrupulously plundered the four townships and insulted women, causing nine out of ten local households to move. Rong County is so depressed now, it can be said that it is all thanks to this person, but it is because of his death.

The powerful wolf soldier picked up the head and swung around for a few times. He threw the head to the city. He saw the head corpse on the city. Suddenly, there were crying and scolding sounds, and then he threw down some rolling wooden stones.
To be continued...
