Chapter 617: Siege
At night, it was quiet and a little hesitant. The sentry on the wall also dozed off, his body unsteady, and his head slammed against the wall next to him.
The sentry wiped his eyes and looked up at his companion. At this time, his companion was sleeping soundly against the wall, and was about to wake him up, when he suddenly heard a strange sound, and the sentry looked down, and saw countless figures.
Almost instantly, the sentinel knew it was wrong. Immediately shouted: "Not good, the rebels are attacking the city, the rebels are attacking the city." β
Guan Tai heard the soldier's cry and scolded, "Damn, it's been discovered." "I originally wanted to sneak attack, but now I can't, I can only attack.
Ji Xuan was sleeping soundly when he heard a murmur outside saying that the rebels were attacking the city. Ji Xuan got up from the bed when he was excited.
Leng Bufeng came in from outside and said, "My lord, the rebels have begun to attack the city. "To be cold, these Northwest Army are all crazy. How can there be a siege on the first day of the first month, can people live a peaceful life for two days.
Ji Xuan said with a cold face: "Siege the city, attack the city, what to panic about." The walls of Lanzhou City are strong, and Yunqing doesn't want to break through the city. "The defense of Lanzhou City is second only to Pickaxe City. No matter how powerful Yunqing is, he can't break through Lanzhou City. Moreover, in two days, Chen Wei would be able to bring 50,000 horses over to support.
Seeing this, Leng Bufeng said: "It's still an adult. He said this on his face, but he was so scared in his heart that he couldn't do it. There is no way, after fighting with the Northwest Army once, Leng Bufeng doesn't want to fight with the Northwest Army again.
Ji Xuan put on his armor and said, "Let's go, go up to the city tower and have a look." "The defense of Lanzhou City was personally arranged by Ji Xuan.
There is Ji Xuan's personal supervision of the battle, and the soldiers who defend the city are very brave. On the other hand, the Northwest Army fell into disadvantage. However, the siege is different from others, at this time it is really about fighting strength, and there is no skill at all.
After dawn, it became more and more unfavorable to the Northwest Army. Ji Xuan stood at the top of the city tower and shouted loudly towards the Northwest Army under the city: "Rebellion is a capital crime, and it is a serious crime of the Nine Clans. If you lay down your weapons and surrender now, I will not be blamed for the past. β
As soon as these words fell, a sharp arrow came towards Ji Xuan. However, Ji Xuan is full of people on the left and right, and no matter how good this arrow is, it can't hit him.
Ji Xuan was not intimidated by this sharp arrow, but shouted more and more excitedly: "Yunqing, if you want to be a rebel and a thief, forget it, why drag so many people to die with you." Yunqing, I respect you as a character, if you have the courage to stand up. β
Who knows how many archers Ji Xuan has arranged in secret. Yunqing is not a fool, wouldn't it be looking for death to stand up at this time.
Feng Dajun said to Yun Qing: "General, it's not a matter for Ji Xuan and his teeth to be called there!"
Yuan Ying was silent for a moment and said, "General, do you see if we can use the way of others to govern others." "Ji Xuan wants to shake their military hearts, then they will expose Ji Xuan's indiscriminate killing of innocent Kusama lives and other crimes.
Yunqing shook his head and said, "No." However, Feng Dajun's concerns had to be guarded against. This Ji Xuan wanted to shake their military hearts. The army's heart was scattered, and it was in vain to say anything.
At this time, Gao Song walked in and said, "General, there is a man named Sun Shaojian who wants to see the general. General, this Sun Shaojian is a native of Lanzhou City and an adjutant of the Lanzhou Battalion Guard. "The lieutenant is an officer of the seventh rank, and it is the lowest official position among the military attachΓ©s.
Yuan Ying asked, "Who is the general, can you see if you want to?" Now at this time, where is the time to see Sun Shaojian.
Takamatsu said, "This man said he had a way to break the city. General, this person is from Lanzhou City, maybe there is a way to break the city. β
Yun Qing said, "Let him in." "If you have the courage to ask to see him, there must be something you can do. Although the combat effectiveness of the local army is not good, it does not mean that the officers and men of the local army are all of a bad race.
Sun Shaojian is tall and rugged, a typical Northwest man's appearance. Seeing Yunqing, Sun Shaojian clasped his fists with both hands and said, "I've seen the general." β
Yun Qing nodded and asked, "You said that there is a way to break the city, let's hear about it?" Whether it is really useful, he will know whether it is true or false as soon as he hears it.
Sun Shaojian looked at Yunqing and said, "General, I hope you can let me take my brothers to attack the city." "The 3,000 men attacking the city when Sun Shaojian mentioned refers to the prisoners he brought before.
Yun Qing asked, "Are you here to ask for battle, not to offer advice?" These recruited captives, Yun Qing did not intend to let them go to the battlefield now. The reason is very simple, if these people change their minds on the spot and turn around and kill them, wouldn't they have died unjustly.
Sun Shaojian said: "General, I have already heard what they said. If you occupy a place, you will only raid corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and those unscrupulous merchants and squires who do evil, and you will not harass the people. Moreover, the confiscated gold and silver were not kept for themselves, but the soldiers were paid back the military salaries and pensions owed by the imperial court. β
Yunqing looked up at Sun Shaojian: "You said you have a way to break the city?"
Sun Shaojian said: "General, I brought 3,000 brothers to attack the city, but in fact, it was not for the siege of the city, but for the general's name. β
Yun Qing was a little puzzled and asked, "Correct name?"
Sun Shaojian nodded and said: "Ji Xuan and Leng Bufeng spread rumors in Lanzhou City, saying that the Northwest Army killed people and set fires, raped/abducted and plundered, and every place they went to became scorched earth. The people and soldiers in Lanzhou City listened to the rumors, so they resisted desperately. As long as I take my brothers to correct the name of your Northwest Army, the brothers in the city will definitely not give Ji Xuan any more life. β
Yun Qing asked with a puzzled expression, "How do you say this?"
Sun Shaojian smiled bitterly: "General, our military salaries are not only often in arrears, but also exploited. "The local officers not only eat military salaries, but also exploit the soldiers at the bottom.
When Cui Mo heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "I heard that your local camp guard will also collude with bandits and horse thieves? Is this true?"
Yuan Ying was very speechless when he heard this, when did he have the leisure to gossip here. I have to say that Cui Mo's heart is really big.
Yunqing said: "Okay, you can pick it yourself." β
Sun Shaojian picked 3,000 people in the fastest time, and these 3,000 soldiers were all from Lanzhou City. Speaking of which, in fact, these low-level soldiers or low-level officers like Sun Shaojian are all objects of exploitation and oppression. After months of adulthood, I have long accumulated a stomach full of resentment. Therefore, after knowing that the Northwest Army did not kill and rob all the people as in the rumors, but only robbed corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they sincerely surrendered.
Yun Qing ordered the withdrawal of troops, and did not let Sun Shaojian attack the city, but asked them to correct the name of the Northwest Army under the city wall.
Leng Bufeng was overjoyed when he saw the retreat of the Northern Army on the city tower, and immediately said to Ji Xuan: "My lord, Yun Qing must be afraid of you, my lord." "No matter what, Yunqing withdraws his troops, and it will be victory for them.
Ji Xuan was not so optimistic, and said: "Look again" From last night to now, the Northwest Army has been attacking very fiercely, and fortunately their city tower is strong, otherwise he would really be worried.
After the retreat of the Northwest Army, Sun Shaojian appeared with 3,000 men. The front row was full of Northwest Army with shields in their hands, and the soldiers on the defensive walls fired arrows at them.
Leng Bufeng looked at Sun Shaojian and the others standing still, with a suspicious look on his face: "Which one is Yunqing singing?"
Ji Xuan's heart crossed a bad premonition.
Sun Shaojian shouted to a person on the city wall: "Ergouzi, I am Sun Shaojian! Ergouzi, you have all been deceived by Ji Xuan's old dog." The Northwest Army did not kill, arson, rape/commit adultery, and plunder, let alone disturb the people, it was all made up by Ji Laogou......"
Yun Qing and Feng Dajun and the others were not far away. Hearing Sun Shaojian's shout, Feng Dajun grinned and said, "General, listening to Sun Shaojian's tone, he should have a grudge against Ji Laogou?"
Yuan Ying agreed with this and said, "There must be a grudge." This kid doesn't tell the truth. "As for what kind of feud it is, we will know when the battle is over.
Yunqing said, "This is a usable talent. "Whether it's revenge or not, it's true that this man is very bold.
After Leng Bufeng heard Sun Shaojian's words, he immediately shouted: "Release the arrow, hurry up and shoot the thief who insults the adult." "The arrow is shot out, but it is far away, and there is a shield in front of it, where can you shoot people!
Sun Shaojian was not frightened, but spoke out more and more loudly about all the evil things Ji Xuan had done, corrupt the law, robbed people's daughters, trampled people's names, expropriated and extorted, etc., it was not too much. According to Sun Shaojian, Ji Xuan is the one who deserves death for his heinous crimes.
Ji Xuan heard Sun Shaojian's list of his crimes one by one, his face was blue and white, white and purple, like opening a dyeing workshop, colorful.
Feng Dajun is a person who is thick and fine, and he starts to find it interesting. But when I heard it, I felt that it was wrong, and said, "General, this person is not quite right. How could this ordinary person be so clear about the evil things Ji Xuan had done?" "If what Sun Shaojian said is true, it is absolutely impossible for Sun Shaojian to do it alone.
Yun Qing was not surprised, and said: "Ji Xuan has done so many angry things in the northwest over the years, I don't know how many people hate him to the core. "It's really not uncommon to have a Sun Shaojian. However, after this battle is over, he still needs to know Sun Shaojian's roots, otherwise, he will not be at ease to use this person.
Feng Dajun nodded and said, "This is a good thing for us." "The more evil things Ji Xuan does, the more disgusted those soldiers on the city wall are, and the more beneficial it is to them.
Cui Mo laughed: "Ji Xuan's old dog still wants to shake our military heart." Now that Sun Shaojian has spoken, I don't think the soldiers on the city wall will continue to give them their lives. "These soldiers guarding the city are also one of the people who were exploited and oppressed by Ji Xuan. R1148
