Memoirs of the Heavenly Khan

Chapter 59 How can it not be hard?

The wind blew in the mountains and shadows of people were everywhere, but it did not stop Wei Kegu's determination to attack the city and capture Li Chong.

The core area of ​​the camp, which was Li Chong's tent, was surrounded by a long wall made of rammed earth and stones, and a wooden fence was erected on the outside.

The camp wall was low, only about two meters high. Li Shuang climbed up the camp wall. On the battlefield not far away, Wei Kegu was already very close.

This Wei Kegu is indeed the bravest general under Po Liu Han Baling, with a figure like a wild bull.

Among Li Shuang's teammates, only Gao Gao can compare with him in terms of physique.

He personally led the team to the front, with unparalleled fighting spirit, like a sharp dagger, breaking through several fortifications set up by Li Chong.

The Luoyang Imperial Guards had lost their nerve at this point and didn't dare to move forward. They didn't even have the courage to face this powerful force. They kept paddling around and collapsed at the first touch, as if they were waiting for the general's tent to be breached so that they could escape.

The two hundred troops under Li Chong's command were his most trusted and loyal troops, and the only force he could rely on now. All of them were handed over to Li Shuang.

But this force was too small compared to Wei Kegu's 1,000 armored troops.

Li Shuang pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver beside him.

The tail feathers of the arrow are bright, and the three-sided arrowhead looks very gloomy under the sunlight.

The weapons used by Li Chong and his troops were undoubtedly top-notch. In addition, Li Chong himself was an expert, so no one could deceive him.

Li Shuang took a deep breath, drew his bow and arrow, and then shot it in one go.

In the mountains and forests, Li Shuang is most proficient in archery.

The arrow flew out!

At a distance of eighty steps, an arrow hit Wei Kegu's body.

This arrow brought the army's momentum, which had been advancing unstoppably, to a halt.

The arrow pierced the armor, and Wei Kegu felt pain, but was completely enraged.

He angrily broke the shaft of the arrow and quickly found the person who attacked him.

Very easy to recognize!
At this moment, there was only one person standing on the camp wall in front.

"Boy, who are you!"

His answer was another arrow!
However, this arrow was blocked by the shields held by the armored guards around Wei Kegu.

Archery is difficult to master, but being able to accurately hit the target at eighty steps is considered a superb archery skill.

At that moment, Wei Kegu did not dare to do as he did just now, but ordered his personal guards around him to hold shields and move forward slowly.

The Luoyang Imperial Guards outside the camp wall were constantly retreating, while Wei Kegu and his troops were constantly advancing, and the distance was only fifty steps away.

The situation was clear. Wei Kegu looked at the trembling formation under the camp wall and the soldiers who kept pouring out, his heart filled with contempt.

The young general on the camp wall was alone, but compared with the Luoyang Imperial Guards, there was still a world of difference between him and them.

"Boy, once I've broken through the camp and captured that old thief Li Chong, how about you join my army?"

Wei Kegu shouted loudly, but was only greeted with laughter.

"You're a rat hiding behind a shield?"

Wei Kegu was brave but not stupid. At a distance of fifty steps, the boy would probably shoot an arrow at him as soon as he showed his head.

"Boy, don't provoke me with words. I'm not one of those newbies on the battlefield."

"I think it's about the same!"

"what for?"

"General, you led your elite troops to charge, but left the Heba and Yuwen tribes behind. Aren't you afraid they might turn against you?"

"I have besieged Wuchuan for over half a year, and the Wei army has not come to our rescue. The people of Wuchuan have long lost their hearts. Now, I have sworn an alliance with Heba, Yuwen, and others to fight against the Tuoba clan. How could I possibly harbor any rebellion?"

Although Wei Ke Gu kept talking, the troops under his command never stopped taking action.

The soldiers in the front line held shields and took out grappling hooks from their backs, waiting to advance far enough to climb onto the camp wall.

Li Shuang was on the camp wall, but he seemed not to notice Wei Ke's small movements, and continued to speak:

"Really? But it looks like they're leaving."

Wei Kegu frowned. At this moment, a large group of bandits and vagrants from the mountains had already rushed into the Wei army camp. Most of them were in dishevel, and the weapons in their hands were very old and some were rusty.

Looking at the armor and weapons scattered on the ground, it feels like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, the more you look at it, the fresher it becomes.

The crowd rushed forward, grabbing things as they went. When they came forward, everyone was holding weapons and armor that obviously did not belong to them.

"Do you think you can stop me with just these bandits?"

That being said, the body is honest.

Wei Kegu's army changed from its original flat formation to a circular formation.

"Seeing you were surrounded, why didn't the brothers you mentioned come to rescue you?"

Wei Kegu's heart was also beating fast.

Logically speaking, the people from the Yuwen and Heba tribes should have come to support long ago after seeing the current situation.

The right thing to do is to work together to capture the Wei army camp and capture Li Chong!
Heba Duba and Yuwen Gong are not such confused people!

Unless there is something more important that holds them back.

"Boy, what have you done?"

"General, you have come a long way and marched so quickly. The supply of food and fodder must be plentiful!"

Wei Kegu reacted and then shouted.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"With just these bandits and vagrants, can they really find where I hide my food?"

The surrounding bandits and robbers laughed when they heard this.

In this smile, there is smugness, pride, and even some disdain for your complete ignorance of our strength.

"Boy, where is the water in this mountain? Where are the wild animals? Where can you hide your soldiers? Where can you store food? Can you hide it from us?"

At this moment, Li Shuang waved his hand.

The last two hundred elite soldiers, armed with bows and crossbows, climbed up the camp wall and took up their positions.

The magnificent iron armor and sharp weapons dealt the final blow to Wei Kegu's army.

Encouraged by this, the remaining Luoyang imperial guards, who had been scattered in front of the camp wall, also steadied their steps.

"General, if it's really as they say, we should retreat first!"

Wei Ke Gu still had the will to fight, but the soldiers under his command had already begun to retreat.

"If we capture Li Chong, we'll have everything we want. Why would we need to worry about running out of food?"

"General, judging by the current situation, even if we capture Li Chong, we will suffer heavy losses. There are so many bandits and thugs around us, they are like jackals. If we are weak, they will definitely pounce on us. Moreover, we don't know what the situation is like in the rear. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, so it is better to be cautious first."

A distance of twenty steps is the perfect shooting distance for an arm-drawn crossbow.

Even armor cannot provide complete protection.

The cold wind blew and cooled the hot blood.

Wei Kegu didn't dare to take a gamble after all!
As Wei Kegu led his troops to retreat, the gate of the camp slowly opened and Li Chong walked out with a smile on his face.

"My dear warriors, it's really hard work for you to come to our aid this time!"

Li Shuang was beside him and said:

"It's not hard, it's not hard!"

Li Chong said with some annoyance:

"How can it not be hard?"

“It’s not like they don’t want money!”

"..."

Li Chong looked at the crowd of people around him and his face turned pale.
