[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 258 [English]

Chapter 247 The King

“Where is Tanma!”

“Dead,” the awakened garrison followed Yin Chang, “all the surrounding sentries were wiped out, and no one came back.”

Yin Chang filled the wine bag, hung it back on his waist, and when inserting the knife, he spat: “Fuck Ha Sen.”

There was no movement at the inn, all the sentinels were dead, the news couldn’t get out, and reinforcements couldn’t come.

“Reorganize the scouting team,” Yin Chang said, “wait for the opportunity to go out and light the beacon tower before dawn so that Libei, Dunzhou and Bianjun can get the news.”

Duanzhou once suffered a massacre because the sentinels could not outrun the horses in Biansha. Therefore, when Shen Zechuan built the four-way horse trail in Duanzhou, he imitated the Wanli Beacon Tower in Bianjun. As long as these three lines were lit, the three parties would know that Duanzhou was in danger.

As soon as Yin Chang opened the curtain, he heard the “dong dong dong” sound of war drums outside the city.

The cavalry is beating the drum!

Yin Chang ran towards the wall. As he ran, he opened his voice and shouted with all his strength: “Get ready——”

The archers between the walls drew their strings neatly and held their breath as they stared outside the city.

Small cylindrical drums were fixed on both sides of the horses of the Biansha cavalry. The beating resounded through the night, which was a precursor to the charge. When the drum beat was about to stop, the horses roared with heat and rushed forward.

Yin Chang immediately waved his hand and continued shouting: “Fire the arrow!”

Unexpectedly, the cavalry running forward split into two wings in an instant, revealing the shield-raising infantry behind them.The infantry moved quickly and faced the rain of arrows as they approached the city gate.

Duanzhou faces the east, has open terrain, and is close to the Chashi River. Shen Zechuan dug a canal here to make a moat, hoping to build a moat.However, due to time constraints this year, only the channel for the east-facing main entrance has been formed, and the channel from the Chashi River has not yet been diverted.Xiao Chiye warned Shen Zechuan before going south, so Shen Zechuan removed the square bricks at the bottom of the ditch and replaced them with iron caltrops used by the Libei Army.

The city gate opened, and Yin Chang rushed out with the Duanzhou garrison and removed the access board on Haogou before the Biansha cavalry charged.Without the passage board, the cavalry could not cross the Haogou and break into the city gate.

As soon as the rain of arrows on the city wall stopped, the fire oil jars ignited.

Yin Chang dragged the traffic board back and continued shouting: “Smash the can!”

The fire oil cans on the wall were smashed together with a “pop” sound, and the fire suddenly brightened. The garrison leaned forward and threw the fire oil cans down with all their strength.The kerosene splashed on the infantry’s shields, burning them into pieces.But Yin Chang was not happy because he saw the infantry disperse and make way for the covering car.

Oops!

This kind of siege vehicle was originally used to cover trench digging. It had a screen in front and a shed at the back. The lead vehicle in the middle could shield the soldiers digging from sharp arrows.In addition, it also has an outstanding function, which is fire extinguishing.The infantrymen hiding in the lead car came out and slashed the cowhide bag containing river water with a dagger, and in an instant they were able to contain the fire caused by the oil tank.

Yin Chang recognized the opponent’s purpose. Hassen relied on the infantry to consume the arrows and kerosene cans of the garrison, and then let the infantry push to the front of Haogou. This was to prepare for the cavalry in the rear who was ready to attack.

“Archers at the ready—”

As soon as Yin Chang finished speaking, the infantry raised their shields again.Unexpectedly, Yin Chang had no intention of firing an arrow at this moment. He pulled out his sword, led the garrison forward, ran to the front of Haogou, and jumped out like an old lion in the astonished eyes of the soldiers on the border.

“Du Hao!”

Yin Chang landed heavily on the brick wall of Haogou, his feet immediately slid down, he grabbed the edge of the trench and kicked a few times, climbed up, and the garrison followed Yin Chang into the advanced soldier camp.

“Fire the arrow!”

A rain of arrows suddenly struck, and the infantrymen who had no time to spare and raised their shields finally fell to pieces.

“Who is that?” The strong man on the pony stuck his head out and saw Yin Chang’s white hair through the crowd.He touched his scimitar, with a four-legged snake tattooed on his bare arm, and said in Biansha with great interest: “Like a hero.”

“The strong Zhuo Li doesn’t recognize he,” the cavalryman following the man said, “he is the commander of the Cizhou garrison. The old general who captured Fanzhou for Shen Zechuan is called Yin Chang.”

Zhuo Li studied Dazhou dialect and said repeatedly: “One, one taste?”

“Prosperity means prosperity.” The cavalryman calmed the restless horse.

“He has the courage of a lion,” Zhuo Li continued to look at Yin Chang, clamped the horse’s belly, and moved forward slowly while shaking, “I want to fight with him.”

The cavalryman looked back at the rainbow eagle flag in the rear and advised: “Hassen’s order has not come yet. Now is not the time for Zhuoli to attack.”

Zhuo Li moved his strong arms, pulled out his scimitar, and said, “Hassen wants us to fight quickly. I can’t wait any longer.”

***

The garrison gathered the people in the city, and they wanted to send the people to the west gate, where the connected horse road led to Dunzhou. Once the east gate was lost, they still had a chance to escape before the massacre started.People came over one after another, dragging their families with them, looking in a hurry. Occasionally, there were a few babies crying, but they were quickly muffled.More and more people gathered, and with the roar of the east gate, there were suppressed gasps everywhere.

The gentlemen have been here for a long time. They are carrying simple luggage and carrying cases. This is their hard work.Gao Zhongxiong’s pale complexion never recovered. He grabbed his baggage and stood together with the crowd.

Kong Ling pushed Yao Wenyu, with a bag hanging on his chest containing the restless tiger slave.

Yao Wenyu’s four-wheeled vehicle passed by the people, and when he heard someone sobbing in the crowd, he turned his head and stared at each other.

“First, sir,” the widowed mother, who was holding her child alone, covered her mouth and nose and whispered in a choked voice, “Is there going to be a massacre of the city again…”

The young master’s eyes were gentle, he raised his hand, handed his veil to the other party, and said, “No.”

There were sobs all around, and his words seemed unconvincing amidst the sounds of fighting ahead.

“If the city is destroyed, even humans can’t outrun horses, and they will still have to die, everyone will die.” The man pulled the only remaining donkey, squatted in the corner, and said in a local accent, “I shouldn’t have gone to Duanzhou!”

“Where are the garrison?” Someone came to the door, knocked on it and shouted, “Open the door now and let us run to Dunzhou. How many can we escape before the city is broken?”

The crowd became noisy, they pushed and pushed towards the west gate, and an uneasy atmosphere floated in the night.Gao Zhongxiong was forced to move forward due to the force. He hugged the baggage and squeezed sideways towards Kong Ling.

“Don’t step on it,” Gao Zhongxiong protected the bundle and raised his head and said, “Don’t step on it…”

The crowded crowd couldn’t hear he’s voice at all, and someone’s elbow bumped into Gao Zhongxiong’s stomach. He didn’t hug the bundle, and looked at his papers and pens scattered on the ground, and hurriedly bent down to pick them up.But there were too many people, and before he could find enough, the pen was trampled and broken.

Gao Zhongxiong said anxiously: “Don’t step on the pen, don’t step on the pen!”

Kong Ling was so crowded that he couldn’t stand firmly, and Yao Wenyu’s four-wheeled vehicle was inconvenient. It would be a bad thing if he was rushed into the crowd!Kong Ling held the tiger slave with one hand and pulled the four-wheeled cart with the other, and said to everyone around him: “Where are the guards? Come and protect Yuan Zhuo!”

Yao Wenyu’s wheel got stuck on a hard object, and it banged hard with the impact, almost knocking it over.He turned his eyes and looked at everyone.The moonlight was untimely quiet, sliding along his sleeves and falling to the ground.

The banging on the door intensified, and “open the door” was shouted everywhere.The memory of the massacre in Duanzhou is too deep for them to see the light of day. The more fierce the fight from the front, the less confident everyone will be.

“Hey!” Gao Zhongxiong waved his sleeves angrily and stopped writing. He stretched out his arms to grab the four-wheeled vehicle and led it towards him, blocking the waves of people. He cursed, “Don’t squeeze in. You’re squeezing people! Why worry? The city hasn’t been broken yet. The Lord is in front!”

Suddenly shouts rang out from all around: “Where has Mr. Fu gone?”

“Where has Shen Zechuan gone?”

“Without any soldiers or guards, did you run away?”

Gao Zhongxiong didn’t know it would turn out like this, he quickly said: “The Lord is here…”

“Shen Zechuan ran away!” Someone shouted, stamping their feet, “No one was seen!”

The atmosphere seemed to be on fire. Suppressed cries burst out in the crowd. Impatience was running rampant. The sound of knocking on the door gradually turned into the sound of banging on the door. Panic spread and hysteria was everywhere.

The hidden danger called “Shen Wei” finally broke out. It was like a sharp sword hanging over Shen Zechuan’s head at all times, hiding Zhongbo’s resistance to Shen Zechuan.Even if Shen Zechuan gets the six states of Zhongbo, it cannot be eradicated.Shen Wei abandoned the city and fled, leaving Duan and Dun prefectures with mountains of blood and corpses. Now that Shen Zechuan has not shown up, the Shen family cowered and ran away again.

“Open the door, open the door…” someone cried.

The city gate protruded forward slightly, squeezing out the gap. The remaining garrison couldn’t stop the crowd, stretched out its neck and shouted: “Stop squeezing!”

But it was no use, the crowd was already in chaos.

The garrison was panting and did not dare to open the door. All the sentries in the east were killed. If the cavalry went around to the west, no one would know. If he opens the city gate now, he will stab Duanzhou in the back. That will truly destroy the city!

The garrison relied on brute force to push the people, pulled out the saber from their waists, and shouted: “Who the hell is pushing me anymore!”

Kong Ling immediately said: “Not good.”

Sure enough, as soon as the garrison showed their swords, the surrounding area completely erupted. Bags and fists were thrown at him like a rainstorm. People rushed forward and shouted: “Open the door!”

The garrison couldn’t really kill people. He protected his head. As he retreated, he noticed someone grabbing the knife. He couldn’t help but said: “I’ll kill the person if I grab the knife!”

The city gate was shaken by the impact. Before the garrison could stand still, a huge force suddenly hit the back. Then the entire city gate made a muffled sound as it was smashed from the outside by a car!

“Holy shit!” The garrison lay on the ground and was stepped on a few times. They got up and kicked the civilians who were blocking the way. They pushed the people back crazily and shouted at their own soldiers, “Hurry up and block the door!”

“Cavalry!” the crowd screamed, and everyone rolled and crawled back, “The cavalry has broken the city!”

The garrison dragged their knives, leaned against the crumbling door with their backs, and shouted in unison with dozens of soldiers, trying to push back the broken city gate.However, the giant wood outside hit the city gate again, causing their backs to tingle.

Yao Wenyu held the handle, while Gao Zhongxiong and Kong Ling stood aside, trying to push Yuan Zhuo away.Kong Ling’s scalp exploded. He heard the long-lost sound of horse hooves through the half-opened city gate.

“I’m taking Yuan Zhuo down the alley,” Kong Ling pushed Yao Wenyu, ignoring the case, picking up his robe, “Shenwei, run!”

Gao Zhongxiong’s hands were shaking violently, and he said: “I will stay with Mr., Mr….”

The city gate was completely smashed, with debris flying everywhere.The garrison couldn’t hold it anymore, and the cavalry went directly over their heads and ran in, swinging their scimitars at Gao Zhongxiong.

The garrison wolves rushed forward, suddenly raised their scimitars, and with their backs on them, they said: “Run quickly, report to the governor quickly, the west gate is broken, we are guarding-”

As soon as the garrison finished speaking, their heads rolled to the ground.

Gao Zhongxiong screamed, his feet were weak, and he almost fell to the ground while holding on to the four-wheeler.Seeing the scimitar attacking again, Yao Wenyu’s back was soaked, and she suddenly turned away from the car and stood in front of Kong Ling and Gao Zhongxiong.

A light cavalry passed through the crowd, moving as fast as mercury in the night. The flying long sword buzzed into the cavalry’s throat, and it had already rushed forward when the opponent fell off his horse.

Qiao Tianya reined in his horse, pulled out his sword, put it back into its scabbard, panted and looked at Yao Wenyu, and shouted to Ding Tao behind him: “Take the gentlemen away!”

Yao Wenyu didn’t move, he clenched the handle, and when he turned his head, he looked past Qiao Tianya, and saw Feng Taoshuangyi hoofing up, and Shen Zechuan’s white sleeves turned up on his back.The snow on the Yangshan Mountain was like an angry dragon. When it passed the cavalry’s throat, it fell sharply, as if the lightning was suddenly broken, and it was too fast to see clearly.

The wind stepped over Shuangyi’s heads and ran through the city gate. The cavalry in brocade clothes behind them swept towards the cavalry on the edge of the sand, causing sparks to fly in the cold wind.

Qiao Tianya was about to leave, but Yao Wenyu looked at him, with faint veins floating on the back of his hands, and whispered to him: “Bring Mr. Fu back!”

Shen Zechuan was ill and had broken his right hand as early as in Dunzhou.He is now the lord of the six states again. If he accidentally dies on the battlefield, all the hard work of everyone in Zhongbo will be in vain.

Qiao Tianya was expressionless.

Yao Wenyu looked at Qiao Tianya pleadingly and said word by word: “The king of ten thousand chariots does not take risks.”

Shen Zechuan shook off the blood beads on Yangshan’s snow blade and reined in the horse in the open space. His chest heaved up and down, facing the wind, and his right hand’s fingers twitched faintly.He stood at the front, looking at the gray sky and earth.He is not strong, but he will not fall.He looks like misty gravel in the sky, and like a sharp steel knife nailed in front of Duanzhou City.

He is cunning, unscrupulous, and will retaliate.

He is not emperor material at all.

But——

Qiao Tianya leaned over and flicked Yao Wenyu’s forehead in vain. Just when Yao Wenyu thought he would do it, he turned his horse’s head and shouted: “I will follow the prince to kill the enemy to the death——!”

The sky suddenly broke into light, and the darkness suddenly turned into ashes.Shen Zechuan’s blade grazed the outside of his thigh, and the blade shot straight out in the light. Feng Ta Shuang Yi could only move forward like his master.

forward!

The Jin Yiqi shouted in unison: “I will follow you to the death to kill the enemy!”

In the eyes of these people, he is the epoch-making monarch!
