Chapter Twenty-Five: Underestimating the enemy is a bad problem A cloud is very old.
The old man almost forgot his name, only remembering that he killed a famous rich merchant family in the city of Qiuzi, and did not even let go of the dog in the family.
The younger brother of the wealthy merchant Yuan Khotan offered a high reward for capturing Yiyun, and those wandering warriors chased and killed Yiyun for two whole years without success.
After killing the last warrior who came to hunt him down, Yiyun went to Khotan and killed the family of his wealthy merchant brother who had been rewarded for his capture.
Since then, once the warriors of the Western Regions talk about a cloud, they have changed color.
After experiencing that life-and-death struggle, Yiyun finally decided that it was very difficult for a person to do something, so he began to recruit troops and gather people thirty years ago.
Up to now, in the places north of the Tianshan Mountains, as long as there is a horse thief, he is the only one who looks at the horse.
When Tie Xinyuan and his subordinates acted as Gobi bandits for the first time, a cloud already knew of his existence.
He was very angry at Tie Xinyuan's unruly failure to report his confession to him.
It's just that the situation in Hami at that time was too chaotic, and there were many troops, which made him endure until now.
He never thought that Qingxiang Valley could be so powerful now, especially the city wall in front of him that could be compared to the cliffs on both sides, which made his idea of acquiring this place as the starting point of his foundation even more intense.
He wondered what else was behind the wall.
After years of being a thief, I knew that I might be lucky this time just by feeling.
The traces were discovered by the people of Qingxiang Valley, which was very unexpected by a cloud, but fortunately, they were surrounded by carefully selected bandits, and a thousand people were enough to break all the villages near Hami.
"Red Devil, the walls here are very high, you are the best at attacking the city, now, you start to climb the city and attack, you can choose the women in the city first."
The tall red devil cautiously glanced at a cloud shrunk in his fur and whispered, "Chief, I hope to be able to get some of the food in the city." ” A cloud glanced at the corpses lying on the ground in front of the city wall, and knew that the Red Devils were a little worried about the heavy casualties and weakening the power of their own clan.
On weekdays, the Red Devil does not have the courage to make conditions with himself, but now that he has said it bluntly, it shows that the Red Devil thinks that after taking the city, his clan will suffer heavy damage.
"After taking the city, the woman will give it to you, and you will share half of the grain."
The Red Devil let out a sigh of relief, gathered his people, and quickly approached the walls with their shields on their heads.
Tie Xinyuan stood behind the tower shield and saw with his own eyes a group of people from the Western Regions wearing iron armor with shields on their heads, braving the rain of arrows to rush towards the city wall. didn't understand what they wanted to do, so he looked at Tie Yi beside him suspiciously, waiting for him to give him an answer.
"They want to climb up from the walls."
Tie Yi's words are concise and to the point.
"I know that our walls have slopes, and there are many gaps between the rocks, but they want to kill the five-zhang high walls, do they treat us as dead?"
Meng Yuanzhi let go of the bowstring, and a thumb-thick feather arrow shot over a horse thief who was running in front, and he couldn't help but laugh when he heard Tie Xinyuan say this.
"There are no tall cities in the Western Regions at all, I have captured three cities, the highest wall of the people is only two zhang, there are two one zhang high, this is already a big city, I saw the city wall surrounded by rammed earth on the road, I climbed up along the city wall and finally seized the city."
Tie Xinyuan looked back at Meng Yuan and said, "Are you sure you haven't seen things like building cars, battering rams, siege engines, and trebuchets?"
” Meng Yuanzhi shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it!"
” Tie Xinyuan's spirits were greatly lifted, and he said to Meng Yuan with a smile: "In this case, what are you staying here to play, why don't you go around the back mountain quickly and block their way out, Lao Tzu wants to play mouse hunting here!"
” Meng Yuan laughed straight, and walked down the city wall with his deputy general Tie Huo and eldest son Meng Hu.
The heavily armed Ah Da glanced at Tie Xinyuan and said, "Even the lion Bo Rabbit has to use all his strength. ” Tie Xinyuan coughed embarrassedly and yelled at the warriors at the head of the city, "Throw the ash bottle!"
Don't take the enemy lightly. ” The Red Devil was indeed a good siege player, his thick body was as agile as an ape, with a knife in his mouth, and his ten fingers digging into the cracks in the city wall, and in an instant he had climbed more than a foot high.
Countless clay pots fell from the top of the city, fell one foot high, and then smashed into the city walls and shattered.
White smoke filled the city.
The Red Devil only felt that his eyes were suddenly in pain, and he couldn't help but reach out and rub his eyes with the back of his hand, he forgot that his body was already covered with a thick layer of quicklime.
Under the unbearable pain, he couldn't help but howl, and fell from the city wall and fell into the crowd.
Puff, puff, unable to see anything in his eyes, and the sound of the arrows entering the flesh frightened the Red Devil, reaching out to touch the wall, and then stumbling in the opposite direction of the wall with his shield......
The archers at the head of the city were very organized, and three teams of people rolled and shot at all the moving objects under the city.
It wasn't until there was no more screaming from the city that the archers put down their longbows and rested their sore arms.
The Red Devil, with two feathered arrows stuck in his back, was helped by the horse thief and roared to the side of the cloud: "My people are finished!
” Before a cloud could speak, a mandrill that felt the Red Devil's resentment jumped out from behind a cloud, "Oha, Oha" and roared at the Red Devil, who was covered in white ash.
Yiyun kindly patted the mandrill's head and said to the red devil: "You go to rest first, this time I will attack in person, after taking the city, you will take the lead in selecting the people here, and it is not difficult to reorganize a group." ” The Red Devil received the promise of a cloud, and finally put his mind at ease, his eyes ached excruciatingly, and he roared at the horse thief who was holding him: "Quickly bring me water, I want to wash my eyes." ” A cloud that had already walked out heard the Red Devil shouting like this, and couldn't help but stop, seeing that the horse thief had already handed the water bladder to the Red Devil, and did not stop it, he raised his leg and left the mountain wall.
After walking less than three steps, he heard the Red Devil's terrible screams, shook his head, and ordered his deputy to reorganize the available manpower, he did not believe that there was a city in this world that he could not capture.
Standing beyond the range of the arrows, a cloud began to understand why the Red Devils had fallen into such a miserable situation.
The city wall itself is built at the highest point of the valley, and with the five-zhang high wall, if you want to see the head of the city, you have to look up but can't get it.
The city was littered with corpses, and the surrounding clearing was littered with arrows that had been shot in the air, and the white arrow feathers fluttered slightly in the cold wind, like a dense reed.

The enemies of the city were not intimidated by their own fame, and the voices of high-minded talk, laughter and scolding continued to reach their ears.
Yiyun shook his head and said to his deputy, the green wolf: "Underestimate them, let's leave, this is not a city that a thousand of us can capture."
We need more people. ” As if he had been pardoned, the green wolf hastened to convey the order of a cloud, and a team of less than five hundred people immediately rushed towards the mouth of the valley.
"Do you want to send troops to chase and kill?"
Tie Xinyuan saw that a cloud was about to run away, so he asked Ah Da.
"Meng Yuanzhi took two thousand people to intercept these horse thieves, and he still held a crossbow in his hand, and the horse thieves should be back soon."
Tie Xinyuan pointed to the cliffs outside the city and said, "Those cliffs are still not steep enough, and some places that can be borrowed should be blown up with gunpowder." ” Ah Da shook his head and said: "There is no need, it is extremely dangerous now, this time this will be quietly touched to the edge of the city, it is completely because your soldiers are not elite enough, and they are not responsible enough, if they are a little more vigilant, a cloud to the first outpost, they should be discovered." ” Tie Xinyuan looked at Ah Dadao strangely: "It's your job to train soldiers, what are you pushing on me?"
Even if it's wrong, it's your fault, and I won't train soldiers. ” Ah Da's pupils shrank suddenly, and he said in disbelief: "You really plan to entrust me with all the heavy responsibility of training soldiers?"
” Tie Xinyuan's expression became even more strange, pointing at those soldiers and saying to Ah Dao: "Could it be that you didn't do your best before?"
” "I used to think ......"
"You can pull it down, I am very relieved to be an outsider like Meng Yuanzhi and hand over the Sancheng army to him, you are my brother, can I still be jealous?"
Ah Dachang took a breath and bowed and said, "It's my fault, there won't be any more in the future." ” After speaking, he left Tie Xinyuan to reorganize the soldiers.
Tie Xinyuan looked worriedly at Ah Da's departing back and said to Tie Yi: "Am I the kind of person who goes back on his word?"
” Tie Yi nodded immediately, and Tie San also nodded again and again, as for Yu Chi Lei, he simply turned his head.
A cloud stumbled ten miles with the remaining horse thieves, and suddenly saw a fire in front of him.
A low wall of towers and shields stands in the way of you.
Just in front of the tower shield, a tall samurai in full iron armor sat on a chair with a brazier at his feet, on which a young samurai roasted a leg of mutton.
Yiyun didn't even bother to speak, and the green wolf howled and brandished his mace and led people to kill Meng Yuanzhi.
There were suddenly many gaps in the tower shield, and crossbow arrows shot out of the gaps silently, because there were no arrow feathers, and the speed of flight was faster, until the green wolf found himself sniped after penetrating the armor.
The green wolf rushed and killed quickly, retreating even faster, but dozens of corpses had already been left on the ground.
Meng Yuanzhi sighed and said to his son who was roasting meat: "Hu'er, put these things away, there are really not many words that come out of Tie Xinyuan's mouth."
If you want the enemy to be afraid, there is only one way, and that is - kill!
” As soon as Meng Yuanzhi said a killing word, the warriors behind him took a step forward with a tower shield, and then yelled, "Kill!"
” The shield wall immediately changed, and the samurai in the second row naturally placed their spears on the tower shield and took a big step forward with the footsteps of the shield-wielding samurai.
The entire shield wall resembles a movable ball of thorns.
The calm expression on Yiyun's face finally disappeared, and for the first time, he realized that he was really underestimating the enemy this time.
