Chapter 41 Empty-handed into the white blade

The heavy gate squeaked and pushed open a crack. A figure came out of the crack of the door without armor. His hands were behind him, and Alpha, who was showing off his power, came to the front of the array step by step.

Alpha held the knife, with a proud smile at the corners of his eyes, and then frowned again. Obviously, this person didn't come to the martial arts competition, so he came to surrender, but why is it so awkward? Looking at his look of high, there is no taste of surrender at all. Instead, there is a feeling that the emperor is patrolling his territory.

Alpha was a little confused, and the Sassan army besieged the city was also a little inexplicable. The people in front of them stopped cheering and quietly looked at the approaching Tuhu. The people behind were still cheering, but they slowly felt a strange feeling and closed their mouths unnaturally. A strange tranquility is like an invisible ripple, slowly rippled with Tuhu as the center, gradually turning the cheers of the Sassanians into silence.

Tu Hu walked through the suspension bridge slowly, walked ten steps away from Alpha and stood still. He reached out and hooked his finger on Alpha and said lightly, "Come on, let me see how much you weigh."

Alpha couldn't understand Chinese. He looked at Tu Hu blankly and looked back at the two attendants. One of the attendants on the left looked at it and urged the horse to rush to Tu Hu. He pointed to Tu Hu with a machete in his hand and shouted condescendingly, "Who is coming? Kneel down and reply quickly!"

Tu Hu also couldn't understand Persian, but he saw the meaning from the waiter's look. He sneered. His body, which was as steady as a mountain, suddenly moved. The distance of two steps came, and he didn't see what he did. He just casually stretched out a hand and grabbed the servant's ankle. The servant was shocked and subconsciously raised the knife in his hand and cut it down. Unfortunately, his reaction was too slow. As soon as the knife was raised, his whole body had been pulled off by Tu Hu. He fell to the ground with a plop, which made him fall into meat and vegetables, and the knife in his hand was also thrown out.

This servant was also a man who had experienced a lot of battles. He followed Alpha from the bloody sea of corpses. He lost his lead. Although he was surprised, he was not panicked. As soon as he landed, he took the opportunity to roll away and rolled away. Although he rolled out of the mud, he rolled out of Tuhu's attack range, and then quickly climbed up quickly. Come on, he turned half a circle and stared at Tu Hu on guard. At the same time, he saw the sword falling on the ground from the corner of his eyes. He hurried over and picked it up. He pointed straight to Tu Hu and held the crooked helmet in one hand.

His reaction can't be said to be unhappy, but he was thrown too hard by Tu Hu just now. He was a little dizzy. Although he set up his posture, he couldn't help staggering back two steps, as if he was drunk. Compared with his nervousness, Tu Hu stood there without any further action. He just put his hands behind his back and looked at him quietly, just like watching an ignorant naughty boy playing.

Compared with Tu Hu's calmness, this hundred-war tough soldier looks very embarrassed.

The soldiers of the State of Yue and Aksum soldiers watching the battle at the top of the city threw the Sassanids as soon as they saw Tu Hu's action and played the other party like a monkey. They couldn't help laughing. The originally tense atmosphere was suddenly relaxed.

Alpha's face immediately sank. Without saying a word, he immediately whistled, shook the rope, and kicked the horse's abdomen. The horse suddenly started and rushed to Tu Hu. The machete in his hand was raised high and chopped down with the sound of the wind.

Tu Hu's eyes tightened. Just as the war horse was about to rush in front of him, he suddenly took two steps. In an incomparable moment, he moved from Alpha's right side to the left, and the front hoof of the war horse almost ran over his body. Alpha's eyes were full of flowers. The enemy had lost its sight, and the knife he had split with all his strength had failed. Before he could recover, he was suddenly pushed around his waist. He couldn't sit firmly on the horse's back. He struggled twice, but still fell off the horse. Thanks to his quick response, he flew off the horse, and put his left hand on the saddle and followed the horse to the ground. He ran two steps and flew on the horse again, so he didn't lose a lot of shame.

The horse ran out more than ten steps, and Alpha then strangled the rope, circled the horse's head, and looked at Tu Hu in surprise and angrily. Tu Hu stood in place, spread out his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and made a sorry look, which caused another burst of laughter in the city.

Alpha is in anger. Unexpectedly, this stupid-looking big man was actually a master. First, he threw his personal guard into the mud as soon as he took action, and now he almost pushed himself down. Although he was not thrown down with his superb equestrian skills, he had a horse and a knife, and was actually pushed off the horse by a bare-handed enemy, like this to him. For the warriors, this is undoubtedly a great humiliation.

Alpha blushed and tightly strangled the war horse. The war horse in his hand pointed straight at Tuhu and shouted in a low voice, "Barbarian, take out your weapon. I want to fight with you." After waiting for a moment, I saw that Tu Hu was indifferent and just looked at him calmly. Then he remembered that this man could not understand Persian and quickly said it in stiff Chinese.

Alpha is not familiar with Chinese. It is extremely stiff, but Tu Hu understands it. He didn't say anything. He just clapped his hands and then beckoned to Alpha. The meaning was obvious. I just dealt with you empty-handed. Although there was no trace of arrogance on his face, the arrogance from his bones made Alpha very angry.

"Since you are looking for death, don't blame me for being unruly." Alpha roared in Persian, and the back of the knife slammed the horse's buttocks. At the same time, he kicked his toes. The war horse was in pain. He stood up with a long hiss, and then rushed to Tu Hu like a splash of wind. Alpha, who was furious, roared, raised the sword high again, riveted his strength, and vowed to split Tu Hu in half with a knife to repay the humiliation just now.

Tu Hu stood motionless, but his eyes were staring at Alpha's eyes. His eyes were like substance. After crossing a distance of more than a dozen steps, Alpha couldn't help but be shocked. With such a wrong kung fu, the war horse had rushed to Tu Hu. Alpha bit his tongue, condensed his mind, shouted, and swung the knife. C split down.

Almost at the same time, Tu Hu suddenly shouted loudly, showed his figure, rushed forward, and rushed straight to Alpha on the horse's back. Although Alpha exhaled with him, his shout abruptly suppressed Alpha's roar, which shocked Alpha's heart. His raised arms also had a trace of imperceptible hesitation, and it was this trace of hesitation that made him lose his last chance.

Tu Hu's huge body hit like the wind. He raised his left hand, just held Alpha's wrist with all his strength, crossed his right hand, grabbed Alpha's belt, exhaled, and lifted him up. Although Alpha clamped the horse's abdomen with his legs, his efforts did not have any effect in front of Tu Hu's magic power. The horse rushed over, but he was raised by Tu Hu. There was a great pain in his right hand. He could no longer hold the sword in his hand, and then he was hit to the ground by Tu Hu.

This hit was too hard. He not only smashed the dust, but also almost hit Alpha out of his back. His eyes were dark, and a mouthful of blood spewed out. His left hand grabbed Tu Hu's shoulder armor in vain. He instinctively wanted to throw Tu Hu to the ground, but he couldn't use any strength. His whole body leaned softly on Tu Hu's body. Just like a helpless and weak woman.

The two attendants who watched the battle looked at it and were shocked. They roared at the same time and rushed. One urged the horse to rush straight, shaking the spear in his hand and stabbed at Tu Hu. Tu Hu did not look back. As soon as he twisted his body, he swung up Alpha's tall body. He threw it at the servant on the horse and took a big step. He stepped in front of the servant who was walking in a few steps. His hands grabbed the servant's arms, twisted his left hand, grabbed the sword in his hand, and patted the servant's chest with his right hand. He turned around and rushed to the horse-riding attendant again.

The walking waiter almost didn't have time to feel the pain in his wrist, but he felt a stagnation in his chest, as if he had been hit by a running horse, and even his breath was stuck. He rushed out two steps, stopped his footsteps, looked down at his chest, and only saw that his chest armor was intact, not even a trace, but No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't breathe. Suddenly, the throat was sweet, and a stream of blood spewed out, all sprinkled on the dry loess, which looked shocking.

He raised his head blankly and watched his companion throw away the spear because he was afraid of stabbing Alpha. He opened his arms to catch the flying Alpha. He fell down from the horse. He didn't wait for him to land. Tu Hu had arrived like a lion and kicked his companion's neck in the air. His companion's neck was twisted into a trick. At a different angle, a stream of blood sprayed out, and Alpha fell to the ground, followed by the catch-up Tuhu trampled under his feet.

He looked at Tu Hu standing with his hands under his hands. He couldn't figure out what kind of warrior he was. He actually defeated the three of them with his bare hands in a short time. Alpha is a famous Sassanic warrior. The two of them have also experienced countless fierce battles. Why don't they have the same power to fight back in front of this man as a child?

before he could figure it out, he fell softly and lay on the loess. The sticky blood flowed freely and moistened the land under him.

Tu Hu defeated Alpha at a shocking speed, trampled him under his feet, and killed two hundred fierce soldiers by the way. The speed made everyone not come to their senses. There was silence in the city, and there was silence between heaven and earth, and even the clouds in the sky seemed to stop flowing.

Sun Shao was overjoyed. He knew that there would be no problem to deal with Alpha with Tu Hu's force. After all, he could see this big man's hard work every day. In order to survive, he had not married and have children until now, in order to cultivate both inside and outside, but he didn't expect Tu Hu to be so easy, a few breaths. The battle was solved in such a fierce way.

After a while, Sun Shao patted Ao Lei with a big mouth and laughed and scolded, "What are you doing? Why don't beat the drum to cheer, and take someone to pick up Tu Hu." Only then did Ao Lei come to his senses and hurriedly raised his hand and shouted: "beat the drum--" While shouting, he jumped off the city wall, rushed to the back of the gate with the 300 tiger guards prepared in the gate cave, and squeaked open the gate.

At the same time, Ding Feng also raised the battle flag in his hand and roared: "The crossbowman is ready--"

With a "bang" sound, the crossbowmen preparing for battle in the city picked up the crossbow in their hands and pointed diagonally, ready to go.

Under the city, Shapur, who was watching the battle in the distance, suddenly exclaimed: "No, Alpha is in danger!" Before Aldahir could react, he urged the horses to rush out, and the attendants who followed him rushed out without thinking. In a moment, more than a dozen war horses spread their horses' hooves and suddenly rushed to Tuhu.

Tu Hu sneered, stamped his foot on Alpha's chest, picked up a sword next to him, took it in the air, bent down and picked up another sword. The two knives were in his hand, and he did not retreat and rushed to Shapur and others who were standing, and chopped at Shapur, who rushed to the front.

Shapur was shocked. He lowered his head and let Tu Hu cut a knife. The sword in his hand quickly crossed between Tu Hu's chest and abdomen. He only heard a "shrilling" sound, and the sparks came out. It turned out that Tuhu's left hand knife was protecting under his right ribs, just holding Shapur's sinister knife, and then the sword rose up. , cutting off the thigh of a knight who followed him.

Tu Hu showed his power. He jumped between more than a dozen horses, flew over with two knives, and cut down the three knights. The knight who rushed over circled the horse in the distance. Recalling the thrill of passing by with Tu Hu just now, they couldn't help sweating. They looked back with lingering lingering, but they saw Tu Hu's hands dancing with two knives, like a After rushing to the knight's horse on the last side, he suddenly soared into the air, and the sword in his hand passed by, with a knife. Before the knight recovered, he only felt that he suddenly flew up. Then he saw that his body was still sitting firmly on the horse, and then he saw the god-like enemy killing into the crowd of his companions. For a moment, he killed two people in a row.

These knights didn't expect Tu Hu to be so brave that they would catch up and kill them. Although they all had war horses, most of them stopped their footsteps and were about to turn their heads. Suddenly, they were raided by Tu Hu. It was too late to speed up and escape. They wanted to resist, but they were not Tu Hu's opponents at all. Only Shapur, who rushed to the front and Seeing the opportunity, the three knights cut the horse's buttocks with a knife and ran away as if they were flying away.

Tu Hu didn't fall in love with fighting. After chopping melons and cutting vegetables and killing several knights who didn't have time to escape, he laughed and strode back to the city.

Behind him, hundreds of Sassan light cavalry flew over and chased to the city, but they were waiting by the crossbowmen in the city. Under Ding Feng's order, nearly a hundred archers fired arrows together. The long arrows roared out, and shot down the few Sassanian light cavalry rushing in the front. The light cavalry behind saw it and hurriedly strangled the battle. The horse turned a corner in front of the city wall and ran away.

Taking advantage of this kung fu, Tu Hu has returned to the city, and the heavy city gate demonstration was closed.

The head of the city was very lively. Everyone cast their warm eyes on Tu Hu's face surrounded by Ao Lei and others. Their eyes were full of worship. They were extremely excited one by one, as if the 100,000 Sassanians outside the city had been defeated by them.

"A Hu, you are very brave today." Zhou Yin stepped forward, beat Tu Hu's strong chest hard, and laughed, "The boy's skills were not in vain."

Tu Hu smiled, walked to Sun Shao, bowed and saluted: "Fortunately, it is not disgrace to the mission."

"Good, very good!" Sun Shao waved his hand with satisfaction: "Come on, give me wine!"

Yu An answered, walked to Tu Hu with a glass of wine, smiled and said, "Please drink this cup!"

Tu Hu took the glass in his hand and bowed to Sun Shao again: "Thank you for giving me wine." Then he raised his neck and drank it all.

"Color!" Zhou Yin shouted with his arms.

"Color!" Colorful!" The soldiers around them couldn't help shouting excitedly.

"Vieting the country will win!" Tu Hu also smiled, raised his fist, and shouted, "The king is powerful, and the country will win."

"The king is powerful, and the country of Vietnam will win!" The soldiers shouted in unison, and the roar quickly spread along the city wall. The soldiers and the people in the city roared excitedly, and the roar shocked the earth.

The Sassanians outside the city are dead. Shapur rescued Alpha, rushed over with the military doctors, and carried Alpha on a stretcher, but Alpha was dying, his chest shriveled loudly, his ribs seemed to have been trampled off, and blood spewed out of his mouth one after another. He looked up at the blue sky, and his eyes gradually disswelled.

"Father, it's Erchen's fault, it's Erchen's fault..." Shapur hugged Alpha's headache and cried: "I should remind Alpha, Erchen should remind Alpha, this person... This person is a master of Yue."

"The master of Yue?" Aldahir's face was pale, and his big hand clenched the sword around his waist. His blue veins were exposed, and his tall body kept trembling gently. He led 100,000 troops from afar and besieged Sun Shao in Aksum City. He was about to be successful. Unexpectedly, he defeated his bravest son Alpha in a previous challenge, and lost so ugly. In this way, the morale of the party was greatly damaged, while the morale of the other party was greatly encouraged, which added a lot of difficulty to the next siege.

What makes him even more sad is that although Alpha is a little uninhilar, he is really a good son and a good soldier. How can his spirit in heaven rest in peace after such a humiliating death in front of the battle?

"Yes, I heard from Sun Shao, the king of Yue, that Tu Hu is the only one who has practiced that kind of magical martial arts like him. Erchen just... I didn't remember it for a moment, but I didn't expect to lose Alpha's surname. It's all the fault of the minister, it's all the fault of the minister..."

Aldahir was stunned. After a while, he slowly exhaled a long breath: "It's not your fault, it's the fate arranged by Ahura. Even if there is anything wrong, it is Yueren's fault. They killed my Alpha. I will use the head of King Yue and this Tuhu to pay tribute to my Alpha. Shapur, pass on my general order, the king of Yue and the head of Tu Hu can give priority to the booty.

Shapur was stunned, and then turned back and quickly turned around to pass on Aldahir's reward order. Immediately after that, Ardahir ordered to camp and gather the generals to discuss how to attack the city of Aksum.

Because of Alpha's death, the generals had not recovered from the surprise, and the atmosphere in the whole tent seemed very depressing. Aldahir glanced at them and first self-criticized: "I love Alpha too much. It's too much to do in the case of victory. In fact, with the strength of our army, it has nothing to do with us whether we can hit their morale or not. Now we have given them a chance to lift a stone and hit their own feet.

When the generals saw Ardahir say so, they all comforted him. Shapur also patted his chest and said, "Alpha's death was purely an accident. He must have thought that the Yue people came to surrender and were unprepared, so he was tricked by him. When we find a broken city, we must catch this shameless Yueren, gouge out his heart and avenge Alpha. He turned to Aldahir and said, "Father, I am willing to be the vanguard of the siege."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the other generals were not willing to show weakness. They came forward to fight one after another, and the decadet just now was swept away. Aldahir nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand to tell everyone to calm down. When they were all calm down, he said calmly, "We have made it clear that there are 10,000 Yue people in the city, and in addition, there are nearly 10,000 Axum people. Axum is a gift from the Romans to the Yue people, but it is not the will of the Axum people themselves. They will not be willing to help the Yue people fight. Yue is the hero on the sea, but this is the land and our world. As long as we surround it, we can make Yue people have no way to escape. The most important thing now is not to attack the city, but to clean up their possible reinforcements. If all the reinforcements are defeated, the people in the city will collapse. At that time, we will succeed in one fell swoop.

Shapur stepped forward and said, "The minister is willing to lead the headquarters to intercept the reinforcements of the Vietnamese, and promise not to let a Vietnamese reinforcements reach the city."

"Very good." Aldahir glanced at the generals: "Who else would like to be with Shapur?"

The generals know that although Alpha's death is a bad thing for the Sasans, it is a good thing for Shapur. With the death of a competitor and tens of thousands more elites, it is strange that Shapur does not compete for credit at this time. Looking at Ardahir's meaning, it seems that he is also willing to let go and cultivate Shapur's strength. Following Shapur is definitely a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. They came forward to fight one after another, as if they were waiting for Yue people to die.

Aldahir immediately ordered that Shapur led 20,000 light cavalry to patrol between Aksumu City and the seaside. Once he saw the reinforcements of the Vietnamese, he would go forward to intercept them. If the other side was large, he would inform the army to prepare. The remaining 80,000 troops would besiege Aksum City and seize the time to build siege equipment. When it is ready, the siege will be carried out.

These people are all old troops who have been following Aldahir for many years. Everyone has a tacit understanding of cooperation. After Aldahir arranged, everyone went separately to prepare. Shapur took 20,000 light enemy soldiers to camp ten miles away from the sea, sent a large number of scouts to explore the coastline within a hundred miles, and must not let a Vietnamese reinforcement enter Axum city.
