The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 331

The heavy city gate squeaked, and a crack was pushed open, and a figure came out of the crack, unarmored, with hands behind his back, and he walked towards the front of the battle step by step in a slow manner. Alpha came over.

Alpha held up the knife, a smug smile appeared in the corner of his eyes, and then he frowned again.This person obviously didn't come to the martial arts competition, so he came to surrender, but why is it so awkward?Look at the way he held his head high and chest out, he didn't feel like surrendering at all, instead he had the feeling of an emperor patrolling his own territory.

Alpha was a little puzzled, and the Sassanid army besieging the city was also a little puzzled. The people in front stopped cheering and quietly watched Tu Hu getting closer. The people behind were still cheering, but slowly they also felt Feeling a strange feeling, he closed his mouth unnaturally.A kind of eerie tranquility was like an invisible ripple, centered on Tuhu, slowly rippling, gradually turning the cheers of the Sasanians into silence.

Tu Hu walked across the suspension bridge unhurriedly, walked to a place ten steps away from Alpha and stood still, stretched out his hand and hooked his fingers to Alpha, and said lightly: "Come on, let me see how many catties you weigh."

Alpha couldn't understand Chinese, so he looked at Tu Hu blankly, then glanced back at the two attendants, the one on the left looked at him, urged his horse to rush to Tu Hu, pointed the scimitar in his hand, and shouted condescendingly: " Who is it? Quickly kneel down and answer!"

Tu Hu couldn't understand Persian either, but he could see the meaning from the attendant's expression. He sneered, and his body, which was as stable as a mountain, suddenly moved. What did he do? He just stretched out a hand casually, and grabbed the attendant's ankle. The attendant turned pale with fright, and subconsciously raised the knife in his hand to chop it off. Unfortunately, his reaction was too slow. , Just as the knife was raised, the whole person was torn off the horse by Tu Hu, and he fell to the ground with a plop, throwing the knife in his hand out.

This attendant is also a man who has experienced many battles. He followed Alpha through the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood. When he missed the initiative, although he was surprised, he was not flustered. As soon as he landed, he rolled and rolled away. Go, even though he was covered in mud, he rolled out of Tu Hu's attack range, then he quickly got up, turned half a circle, and stared at Tu Hu warily, at the same time, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the sword falling on the ground , hurried over to pick it up, pointed straight at Tu Hu, and helped the crooked helmet with one hand.

His reaction was not unpleasant, but just now he was thrown too hard by Tu Hu, and he was a little dizzy. Although he had put on his posture, he couldn't help but staggered two steps backwards, looking like he was drunk generally.Compared with his nervousness, Tu Hu stood there without any further movement, just looked at him quietly with his hands behind his back, like watching an ignorant urchin playing.

Compared with Tu Hu's calmness, this fierce soldier in all battles looks very embarrassed.

The Yue soldiers and Axum soldiers watching the battle on the top of the city couldn't help laughing when they saw that Tu Hu threw the Sassanian somersault as soon as he made a move, and made him look like a monkey. One loose.

Alpha's complexion immediately darkened. Without saying a word, he whistled immediately, shook the rope, and kicked the horse's belly fiercely. The horse suddenly started, and rushed towards Tu Hu. down.

Tu Hu's eyes tightened, and just as the horse was about to rush in front of him, he suddenly took two steps across, moving from Alpha's right to the left in an instant, and the horse's front hooves almost brushed against his body and ran away. past.Alpha's eyes blurred, the enemy had disappeared, and the knife he had slashed with all his strength missed. Before he could recover, someone pushed his waist suddenly, couldn't sit on his horse, and barely struggled twice. , or fell off the horse, thanks to his quick response, he flew off the horse, put his left hand on the saddle and followed the horse on the ground for two steps, and flew on the horse again, so he didn't make a big fool of himself.

After the horse ran about ten steps, Alpha reined in the rope, circled back the horse's head, and looked at Tu Hu in shock and anger.Tu Hu stood on the spot, spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and made a look of apology, which caused another burst of laughter from the city.

Alpha was furious.Unexpectedly, this big, clumsy-looking man turned out to be a master. First, he threw his bodyguard into the mud as soon as he made a move, and now he almost pushed himself down. But he has a horse and a knife, and he was pushed off the horse by an unarmed enemy. For a warrior like him, this is undoubtedly a great humiliation.

Alpha blushed, reined in his horse tightly, pointed it at Tu Hu, and shouted in a deep voice: "Barbarian, take out your weapon, I want to fight you." After waiting for a while, Tu Hu He was indifferent, just looked at him calmly, and then remembered that this person could not understand Persian, so he quickly changed to blunt Chinese and said it again.

Alpha was not familiar with Chinese, so he spoke it in a confusing and blunt manner, but Tu Hu understood it.He didn't make a sound, just clapped his hands, and then made a move at Alpha, the meaning was obvious, I just need to deal with you empty-handed.Although there was no trace of arrogance on his face, the arrogance that radiated from his bones made Alpha extremely angry.

"Since you are looking for death, don't blame this prince for being unruly." Alpha roared in Persian, the back of the knife slammed the horse's buttocks, and at the same time kicked his toes, the horse suffered from pain, stood up, and let out a long hiss. Then he rushed towards Tu Hu like a gust of wind.The furious Alpha roared, raised his saber high again, and with all his strength, vowed to split Tuhu in half with one blow in return for the humiliation just now.

Tu Hu stood motionless, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Alpha's eyes. His gaze was as real as it was. After traveling a distance of more than ten steps, Alpha was involuntarily startled. With such a mistake, the horse had already rushed to the In front of Tu Hu, Alpha bit his tongue, concentrated his mind, shouted loudly, and swung his knife to chop.

Almost at the same time, Tu Hu suddenly yelled violently, stretched out, rushed forward, and rushed straight to Alpha on horseback.Although Alpha exhaled together with him, but his drink forcefully suppressed Alpha's roar, which shook Alpha's mind, and there was an imperceptible hesitation in the raised arms, and it was this hesitation, Let him lose his last chance.

Tu Hu's huge body rushed over like the wind, raised his left hand, just supporting Alpha's wrist that was swung with all his strength, spread his right hand, grabbed Alpha's belt, exhaled loudly, and lifted him up.Although Alpha clamped the horse's belly with both legs, but in front of Tu Hu's divine power, his efforts did not have any effect at all. The horse rushed over, but he was lifted up by Tu Hu, with a sharp pain in his right hand. He couldn't hold the saber in his hand, and was slammed on the ground by Tu Hu.

This blow was too hard, not only flying dust, but also almost knocking Alpha out of breath, his eyes went dark, a mouthful of blood spurted out, his left hand grasped Tu Hu's shoulder armor in vain, instinctively thought He threw Tu Hu to the ground, but he couldn't exert any strength. He leaned limply on Tu Hu's body, like a helpless weak woman.

The two attendants who were watching the battle turned pale with fright, roared at the same time, galloped forward, one urged the horse to charge straight, shook the spear in his hand, and stabbed at Tuhu.Tu Hu didn't look back, twisted his body, swung Alpha's tall body up, and threw it at the attendant on the horse. With a big stride, he stepped in front of the attendant who was walking, and grabbed it with both hands. In the servant's arms, he twisted his left hand, grabbed the saber in his hand, slapped the servant's chest with his right hand, turned around and rushed towards the servant on horseback.

The walking attendant almost didn't have time to feel the pain in his wrist, but he felt his chest stagnate, as if he had been hit by a galloping horse, and even his breath was stagnant. He took two steps forward, stopped his steps, and looked down at the On his chest, he could only see that his breastplate was intact, without even a trace of scratches, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't breathe.Suddenly, there was a sweetness in the throat, and a stream of blood spurted out, all sprinkled on the dry loess, which looked shocking.

He raised his head blankly, and watched helplessly as his companion dropped his spear for fear of stabbing Alpha, opened his arms to catch the flying Alpha, and fell off his horse. Before he landed, Tu Hu was already like a male When the lion arrived, he kicked his companion on the neck with a volley. The neck of the companion twisted into a strange angle, and a stream of blood spurted out. Alpha fell to the ground, and was trampled by Tu Hu who was chasing after him. underfoot.

He stared blankly at Tu Hu who was standing with his hands behind his back. He couldn't figure out what kind of warrior this was, but he easily defeated the three of them in a short time with his bare hands.Alpha is a famous warrior in Sasanian, and the two of them are fierce soldiers who have experienced countless fierce battles. How come they are as powerless as children in front of this person?
Before he could figure it out, he fell down limply, reclining on the loess, the sticky blood flowing freely, moistening the ground under him to his heart's content.

Tu Hu defeated Alpha at an astonishing speed, trampled him under his feet, and killed two warriors by the way. The speed was so fast that everyone didn't recover, and the city was silent. There was no sound between the sky and the earth, and even the clouds in the sky seemed to have stopped flowing.

Sun Shao was overjoyed. He knew that there would be no problem with using Tu Hu's force to deal with Alpha. After all, he could see the hard work of this big man practicing martial arts every day. The purpose was to cultivate both internally and externally, but he did not expect Tu Hu to win so easily, to solve the battle in a few breaths, and in such a fierce way.

After a while, Sun Shao patted Ao Lei with his mouth wide open, and scolded with a smile: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you beat the drums to cheer, and take someone to meet Tu Hu." : "Beat the drums—" Shouting, he jumped down the city wall, rushed to the gate with [-] tiger guards prepared in the gate hole, and opened the gate creakingly.

At the same time, Ding Feng also raised the battle flag in his hand, and let out a long cry: "The archers are ready—"

With a sound of "shua", the crossbowmen preparing for battle on the top of the city raised the crossbows in their hands, pointed upwards obliquely, and were ready to go.

Under the city, Shapur, who was watching the battle from a distance, suddenly exclaimed: "No, Alpha is in danger!" Before Ardashir could react, he urged his horse to rush out, and the attendants who followed him didn't think twice. He also rushed out, and in a short while, more than a dozen war horses let go of their hooves, and suddenly galloped towards Tu Hu.

Tu Hu sneered, stomped his foot on Alpha's chest, picked up a saber next to him, volleyed it in his hand, bent down and picked up another saber, with both sabers in his hands, advancing instead of retreating, screaming He rushed towards Shapur and others who were standing up, and threw his head at Shapur who was rushing forward.

Shapur was startled, and lowered his head, letting Tu Hu's knife strike him. The saber in his hand quickly passed between Tu Hu's chest and abdomen. The saber in Tiger's left hand was protecting his right rib, just in time to block Shapur's insidious saber, and then the saber swung back, cutting off the thigh of a knight following him.

Tu Hu showed his might, leaping and moving among more than a dozen horses, flying with his two knives, beheading three knights from their horses, and the rushing knights circled the horses in the distance. The outdated thrills made them sweat profusely. They looked back with lingering fear, only to see Tu Hu, wielding two knives, rushing towards him like a whirlwind. , the sword in his hand flashed by electricity, and the sword lords his head.The knight hadn't recovered yet, he just felt that he was flying up suddenly, and then he saw his body still sitting firmly on the horse, and then he saw that god-killing enemy rushing into the crowd of his companions. , Killing two people in a row.

These knights did not expect Tu Hu to be so brave that he would catch up and kill them. Although they all had war horses, most of them stopped and were about to turn their heads when they were suddenly attacked by Tu Hu. It was too late to speed up and escape. But they were not Tu Hu's opponents at all. Only Shapur and the three knights who rushed to the front saw the opportunity, slashed on the horse's buttocks, and ran away as if flying away.

Tu Hu didn't like to fight either. After beheading a few knights who were too late to escape, he laughed and strode back to the city.

Behind him, hundreds of Sassanian light cavalry galloped towards the city, but they were caught by the crossbowmen on the city. Ding Feng gave an order, and nearly a hundred crossbowmen fired arrows together. The arrows whizzed out, and shot the Sasanian light cavalry in the front off their horses. Seeing this, the light cavalry behind quickly reined in their horses, turned a corner in front of the city wall, and galloped away.

Taking advantage of this time, Tu Hu had already returned to the city, and the heavy city gate was closed in a demonstrative manner.

The city was very lively, and everyone cast their enthusiastic eyes on the face of Tu Hu, who was surrounded by Ao Lei and others. Their eyes were full of admiration. They were all very excited. It seemed that the [-] Sasanians outside the city had already Generally defeated by them.

"Ah Hu, you are very brave today." Zhou Yin stepped forward, thumped Tu Hu's strong chest hard, and said with a big laugh, "Young Zigong is not in vain."

Tu Hu smiled foolishly, walked in front of Sun Shao, bowed and saluted: "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my mission."

"Okay, very good!" Sun Shao waved his hand in satisfaction: "Come here, give me wine!"

Yu An responded, walked up to Tu Hu with a glass of wine in his hand, and said with a smile, "Please drink this glass to the full!"

Tu Hu took the cup in his hand, and bowed to Sun Shao again: "Thank you for the wine, Your Majesty." Then he raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp.

"Cai!" Zhou Yin shouted with arms raised.

"Cai!" "Cai!" The surrounding soldiers couldn't suppress their excitement and shouted loudly.

"The country of Yue will surely win!" Tu Hu also smiled, raised his fist, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is mighty, the country of Yue will surely win."

"Your Majesty is mighty, the country of Yue will surely win!" The soldiers shouted in unison, and the roar quickly spread along the city wall. The soldiers and people in the city at the top of the city shouted excitedly, and the roar made the ground tremble. .

The Sasanians outside the city were lifeless.Shapur rescued Alpha, followed by military doctors and craftsmen, and carried Alpha onto a stretcher, but Alpha was already dying, his chest collapsed loudly, his ribs seemed to have been trampled, mouthfuls of blood flowed from his body. Spewing out from his mouth, he looked up at the blue sky, his eyes gradually became lax.

"Father, it's my son's fault, my son's fault..." Shapur hugged Alpha's headache and cried: "I should remind Alpha, I should remind Alpha, this person... this person is more country's master."

"A master of the Yue Kingdom?" Ardasil's face was livid, his big hands were clenched tightly on the saber at his waist, his veins were exposed, and his tall body was trembling slightly.He led an army of [-] people from afar and surrounded Sun Shao in the city of Axum. He was about to succeed, but he didn't expect that his bravest son, Alpha, would be defeated by a mere pre-battle challenge, and he lost so ugly.In this way, the morale of one's own side was greatly damaged, while that of the opponent was greatly boosted, which made the subsequent siege a lot more difficult.

What made his heart hurt even more was that although Alpha was somewhat rebellious, he was indeed a good son and a good soldier. How could his spirit in heaven rest in peace after such a humiliating death in front of the battle?

"Yes, I heard Yue Wang Sun Shao say that this Tu Hu is the only master who has practiced that kind of magical martial arts like him. I just... just didn't think about it for a while, and I didn't expect to lose Alpha because of it." It's all my son's fault, it's all my son's fault..."

Ardashir was stunned, and after a while, he let out a long breath slowly: "This is not your fault, it is the fate arranged by Ahura. Even if there is any fault, it is the fault of Yueren, they killed I have acquired my Alpha, and I will use the king of Yue and the head of this Tuhu to pay homage to my Alpha. Shapur, pass on my command that those who win the heads of the King of Yue and Tuhu can choose the spoils first."

Shapur was taken aback for a moment, but then came back to his senses, and quickly turned around to pass on Ardashir's reward order.Immediately afterwards, Ardashir ordered to set up camp, convened the generals to discuss matters, and discussed ways to attack the city of Axum.

Because of Alpha's death, the generals hadn't recovered from their astonishment, and the atmosphere in the entire tent seemed very oppressive.Ardasil glanced at them, and first criticized himself: "I dote on Alpha too much, and it's unnecessary to do so when we must win. In fact, with the strength of our army, it doesn't matter to us whether we can beat their morale or not." relationship, but now they are given a chance, it is really shooting yourself in the foot."

When the generals saw Ardasil say this, they all comforted him, and Shapur patted his chest and said, "Alpha's death was purely accidental. He must have thought that the Yue man was here to surrender, and he was unprepared, so he hit him." When we find out the city, we must catch this shameless Yue man, cut out his heart, and avenge Alpha." He turned to Ardasil and said, "Father, my son is willing to serve The vanguard of the siege."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the other generals, not to be outdone, stepped forward to ask for a fight, and the depression just now was swept away.Ardashir nodded in satisfaction, and waved his hand to signal everyone to be safe. After they all calmed down, he said calmly: "We have already found out that there are [-] elite elites in the city. , and there are nearly ten thousand Axum people. Axum is a gift from the Romans to the Yue people, but it is not the Axum people’s own wishes. They will not willingly help the Yue people to fight. This is the land and our world. As long as we surround this place, there will be no way for the Yue people to escape. The most important thing now is not to attack the city, but to clean up their possible reinforcements. The people in the city will collapse, and at that time, if we attack the city again, we will succeed in one fell swoop."

Shapur stepped forward and said, "I am willing to lead my troops to intercept the Yue people's reinforcements, and promise not to let any Yue people's reinforcements reach the city."

"Very good." Ardasil glanced at the generals: "Who else wants to be with Shapur?"

The generals knew that Alpha's death was a bad thing for the Sasanians, but it was a good thing for Shapur. The death of a competitor brought tens of thousands of elites. At this time, Shapur It would be strange not to strive for success.And judging from what Ardashir meant, it seemed that he was willing to let go of cultivating Shapur's strength, and following Shapur was definitely a good thing that killed two birds with one stone.They stepped forward to ask for a fight one after another, as if they were waiting for the Yue people to come and die.

Ardashir immediately ordered that Shapur lead [-] light cavalry to patrol between Axum and the sea. Once they saw reinforcements from the Yue people, they would step forward to intercept them. The [-] troops under the siege surrounded the city of Axum, seized the time to build siege equipment, and carried out siege battles after they were ready.

These people are all old troops who have followed Ardashir for many years, and everyone cooperated very well. After Ardashir arranged, everyone split up to make preparations.Shapur led [-] light enemy soldiers to set up a camp ten miles away from the sea, and sent a large number of scouts to scout the coastline within a hundred miles, making sure that no Vietnamese reinforcements could enter the city of Axum.
