After I was reborn, I was scumbag

Chapter 83

Less than a mile below the city, there are black cavalry of the Wei army.

The flag with the wolf's head tattooed was flying in the wind, as if it would open its bloody mouth at any time and swallow the whole city into its stomach.

"The Northwest Army has been completely annihilated and captured by our army. Why don't you quickly open the city and surrender?"

The successive shouts and provocations from below the city aroused the hearts of the soldiers stationed on the city wall.

"My son, they are too arrogant! But tens of thousands of pioneers dare to provoke like this!"

"That's right, it's better to let the last general lead the troops and beat them to pieces!"

Murong Xing stood on the edge of the city wall, his black hair neatly bundled up, and a pair of cold phoenix eyes under his helmet looked at Wei Jun who was not far away like a wave, and a trace of ridicule flashed past.

"It's nothing more than a barking pig or dog, what's there to be angry about?"

He took the bow and arrow from a crossbowman's hand sideways, and with a light pull, the longbow was pulled into a full moon shape.

There was a sharp sound of arrow clusters, and a clamoring black figure fell down in the distance.

"Wouldn't it be quiet like this?"

Wei Jun seemed to have urgently ordered the soldiers in front of the formation to retreat, but the bow and arrow in Murong Xing's hand was far faster than their speed of riding back.

After a few breaths, there was no sound under the city wall.

The young man standing quietly on the city wall was surrounded by only ten thousand soldiers, and the city guarded by him was only a small city, far less thick than Jiayuguan, but it made the Wei army, who was crowded in the distance, hesitate.

"My lord, according to your instructions, the hot oil, torches, wood and stones have all been prepared."

Murong Xing nodded slightly, his indifferent eyes reflected a group of soldiers from the State of Wei riding horses from afar.

"Bowmen get ready—shoot!"

The flickering feather arrow pierced the neck of Wei Jun's sentry outside Jiayuguan.

Before he could make a sound, he fell straight to the ground.

"Your Highness, there are a total of 15 people at the nearby Wei Army sentry post, and all of them have been dealt with."

Shao Guan had already changed into the armor and gown of an ordinary soldier of the Wei Army, his handsome face was smeared with wind and sand, and his voice was so low that no one could tell.

"Leave 15 people to change clothes, clean up these corpses, and look after this place."

"promise!"

Shaoguan led dozens of soldiers, controlled the horses and slowed down, and arrived outside Jiayuguan.

"I'm going out on patrol in the name of the general! I've checked out the surrounding terrain, and I'll trouble the guards to open the city gate!"

In the darkness of twilight, the Wei soldiers who were dozing off on the city wall yawned and looked down lazily.

I saw the white wolf flag and dozens of black armored soldiers.

After several consecutive victories, Jiayuguan was taken again. The Wei army who stayed here to guard had already held several celebration banquets, and it was the time when they were most vigilant.

"Which general are you under, brothers from several battalions?"

Shao Guan glanced at the sign that was confiscated from Wei Bing's corpse, and replied loudly: "We are members of the first battalion under General Wang Meng's command!"

"Oh -- you went on patrol this time, why have you been here for so long? General Wang has asked me several times."

The soldier slowly beckoned his companions to open the city gate, while complaining: "Since you guys are back, you should hurry to see the general—but what kind of enemy situation did you find?"

"Our army has captured Jiayuguan, so how can there be any enemy situation?"

Shao Guan patted him on the shoulder pretending to be familiar, and replied with a smile.However, his gaze swept over every sentry post, and he quickly recorded the number of guards.

"That's right. Now the army has captured three or four cities. It's a pity that I will be left to guard the pass. I'm afraid I won't be able to get the merits later!"

Shao Guan's eyes moved slightly: "Brother, what you said is wrong. Let's stay here to eat, drink, and don't have to work hard. Isn't it comfortable enough?"

"That's true—the general held another celebration banquet today, and it's hard work for the brothers to go out on patrol. It's hard to come back, so hurry up and eat some food!"

With a smile on his face, Shao Guan responded well, and gestured back calmly. Several soldiers immediately understood, quietly left the team, and ran towards the city gate.

"Since it's a celebration banquet, why don't you go with us? Just leave a few brothers to watch the city gate."

Wei Bing was still a little hesitant at the beginning, but he couldn't help swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva when he smelled the aroma of wine and vegetables as he walked.

"It's -- it's not good to leave the post without authorization."

"What's the matter. Outside the city gate is our territory, and behind us is the army going on an expedition. What can happen?"

Wei Bing hesitated, and then heard Shao Guan say: "This wine is fragrant, could it be that the general opened the top-quality Zhuangyuanhong?"

"Okay! Let's take it as a welcome for the brothers, and I'll go over and have a drink together!"

The last ray of sunlight at the junction of heaven and earth in the distance was swallowed by darkness, and the shadows shrouded the drunken soldiers and generals in Jiayuguan.

In an inconspicuous corner, Shao Guan slowly raised his head.The wind and dust on his face could not conceal the young man's handsome bones, and because he drank several glasses of white wine, his fair face was a little blush with the smell of alcohol at the moment.

It's just that those bright black peach blossom eyes are so quiet that there is no trace of confusion and drunkenness, and they are as sharp as a sharp knife out of its sheath.

He leaned down slowly, picked up the long sword lying on the ground beside him, glanced at the Wei soldiers who were half awake, got up calmly and walked outside.

"Brother, why are you rushing away? Come again, let's have another drink!"

"You guys keep drinking. I just vomited all over, so I'll go back and change my clothes."

Seeing Shao Guan leave, several Daliang soldiers disguised as Wei Jun looked at each other, pretended to be drunk and reeked of alcohol, and followed from a distance.

"Your Highness, all of your subordinates have made an approximate investigation. There are not many Wei Guo defenders in Jiayuguan, and their strength is about the same as ours."

"But most of them are drunk, and there should be only a few sentry posts that are still on alert. Why don't we take advantage of tonight and retake Jiayuguan in one fell swoop!"

Facing the dark night, Shao Guan saw some blood stains at the city gate that were too late to deal with, and he knew that the Wei army guard post here had been cleaned up by their people.

"Go and send the signal to let all the soldiers and horses enter the city immediately. Be sure to keep the city gates safe, and open the city gates as soon as our army arrives."

"promise!"

The lightly armed cavalry dropped all their burdens, and with only a spear and a bow and arrow, they rushed quickly from the mountains and forests towards the gate of Jiayuguan.

Most of the sentry posts guarding the city gate had been replaced by Daliang soldiers. As soon as they received the signal, they conveniently opened the city gate and slaughtered the Wei soldiers who hurriedly wanted to report the news.

The sound of horseshoes shook the entire Jiayuguan.

The Wei soldier, who was so drunk and unconscious, had just raised his head from the table when his neck was cut by a sharp knife.

The night was long, with the buzzing of weapons colliding, and howling like a ghost...

"My son! Wei Jun launched a new offensive!"

A drop of blood slid down Murong Xing's brow bone, and trickled into those bloodshot phoenix eyes, black and red mixed together, as ferocious as a hell Shura.

His wrist was sore and gradually numb, he closed his eyes to dispel the engulfing drowsiness, and stood up neatly from the city wall.

"Let the brethren who change the guard stand on top—how ​​many stones and arrow clusters are there?"

"Reporting to the prince, it is probably enough to withstand the Wei army's two full-scale sieges!"

"Report to the prince! There are about five thousand Wei troops in this wave! I don't know if there will be reinforcements!"

"My son! The gate of the city below is about to fail! Request more troops!"

The young man pursed his thin lips tightly, while holding the spear in his hand, he stabbed fiercely at Wei Bing who was coming up the ladder, while commanding sharply: "500 people go to the city gate for reinforcements! Don't use any more fuel!"

"But--"

Not far away, Wei Bing jumped onto the city wall, waved the long knife in his hand without hesitation, and slashed straight at Murong Xing.

The young man's wrist moved slightly, and the spear in his hand picked up the Wei Bing who was underneath, leading him to fall straight to the tower. Using his strength, he sideways avoided the long knife.

"There is nothing but. The reinforcements will take at least two days to arrive. If the fuel is used up, there are still 24 hours. How do you resist?"

With a slightly hoarse voice, he pierced Wei Bing's chest with the feathered arrow neatly, and threw the body down the city.

The smelly blood spattered all over his body.

Dozens of ladders are like narrow roads leading to death. Countless black-armored Wei soldiers, under the cover of night, rush forward like locusts.

"My son! Without rolling stones, I really can't stand it!"

"Let all the brothers who change the guard come to reinforce!"

The bony hand held the end of the long sword hilt, but it penetrated deeply into Wei Bing's flesh and blood. The gurgling blood dripped down the white and slender knuckles like spring water.

"Your Majesty! There are several eunuchs in the rear, holding a bright yellow imperial edict, and bringing with them more than ten thousand soldiers, claiming to be here on His Majesty's order!"

There was the buzzing sound of swords colliding in his ears, Murong Xing subconsciously continued to chop with his sword, and after a few moments of delay, he came back to his senses and turned to look at the soldier who sent the message.

"What did you say? Who's here?"

"It's a few eunuchs who said that they brought troops here at His Majesty's will, and said—"

"Put it up first, reinforcements are coming soon!"

Murong Xing retreated from the city wall, his hand trembled, the long sword couldn't be held, it fell to the ground and pooled with blood.

There was no trace of joy in waiting for the reinforcements in the cold phoenix eyes, but it was like facing a big enemy, dignified like a pitch-black night without a ray of light.

"What else?"

The soldier hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and reported the report: "It is also said that they follow His Majesty's order to come here to read...the edict to abolish the crown prince and execute the order of beheading the prince."

There was a dead silence, as if even the sound of swords and swords ceased to exist at that moment.

Murong Xing's expression was indifferent, no different from before, he just tore off a corner of his clothes, and slowly wiped the blood from his hands.The movement was slow and smooth, but the soldiers were terrified when they saw it.

"Your Majesty, they must have passed the imperial decree falsely, how could Your Majesty—"

"Nothing is impossible... Everyone in the world knows that the Northwest Army is loyal and brave. Isn't there a general who colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country?"

He picked up the long sword from the pool of blood, but this time, he didn't wipe the blood off it.

The flirtatious red was mottled on the young man's handsome face, which was cold and tragic.

"Follow me and see how the emperor of Daliang said the most high-sounding words and did the most filthy and disgusting things."
