After four days and four nights, the army still did not break through the city. At this time, the city wall had already been bleeding and corpses were strewn all over the field.

Cui Mo said anxiously: "General, we have all folded in more than 70,000 people, and if we continue like this, our people will all die." "The cavalry is very good at land warfare, but when it comes to siege, they are useless.

Yun Qing said expressionlessly: "We have suffered heavy losses, and so have they. I'm sure they won't be able to hold out for much longer. ”

Looking at Cui Mo's grief-stricken expression, Yun Qing said: "This is the last difficulty, as long as we pass this difficulty, we will win." The city of pickaxes is the symbol of the northwest, and the capture of the city is equivalent to the overall situation being decided.

Another day of fighting, nearly 10,000 horses were lost. Guan Tai saw Yun Qing with blood on his head and said, "General, I can't stand it anymore when I look at the pickaxe city." "This is tantamount to seeing the hope of breaking the city.

Yunqing didn't speak, just let people pass the meal. After eating a large bowl of food, he wiped his mouth and took Takamatsu and others to the battlefield.

Yunqing went to the battlefield and immediately aroused the morale of the soldiers. The generals have all gone to war, indicating that it is time for a decisive battle.

After six days and five nights, the city was finally captured, but the Northwest Army also paid a heavy price. 160,000 people attacked the city, and in the end only more than 60,000 remained, with nearly 100,000 dead and wounded.

Standing at the top of the city wall, looking at the corpses piled up on the city wall and inside and outside the city wall, Yun Qing's face was sad.

Yu Cong said: "General, there are still many things that you need to decide!" Although the price is heavy, the result is good.

Yun Qing immediately restrained his feelings and said, "Call Yuan Ying over ......"

Yu Cong was a little sad and said: "General, Yuan Ying, he was injured, and he was seriously injured...... " The generals who followed were more or less colored, and he was also stabbed, but it was not strict, and Yuan Ying's injury was the most severe.

Yun Qing's face immediately changed, and he asked, "Is there any danger to your life?"

Yu Cong shook his head and said, "It's not life-threatening, but it's very troublesome." "Hurting the lungs is equivalent to hurting the roots, let alone leading the troops to fight, even martial arts can no longer be used.

Yu Cong's expression darkened, and he said, "Then call Du Zheng to come over." "Today's achievements are all brothers fighting hard, and he is not qualified to be sad here.

Yu Cong called Cui Mo and Du Zheng for a task: "Du Zheng, you take 30,000 horses and horses to occupy Tongguan immediately." Tongguan is located at the crossing of the Yellow River, the location is located in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan Province three key points, choking Chang'an to Luoyang post road, is the east gate of Guanzhong, has always been a place for soldiers to fight

Du Zheng hesitated a little and said, "General, we only have 60,000 soldiers and horses left, and give me 30,000 more, can you hold it?"

Yunqing said: "Don't worry, I will expand the number of people quickly." You get in order and set off tomorrow morning. "It's all about time.

Du Zheng actually always had a question in his heart, and asked: "General, it's been almost two months, isn't it?, why hasn't the imperial army arrived yet?" It's just that this thing, how to look at it, how to see it.

Yun Qing said: "Hebei General Soldier He Ye and Ji Xuan are different enemies. However, he didn't support Ji Xuan before, it doesn't mean that Xiàn is not sending troops, you have to be more careful. It was precisely because He Ye and Ji Xuan were enemies that Yu Xiang transferred him to Hebei as the chief soldier. And although Yu Boda is the chief soldier of Shudi, it is now so cold and a mountain road, and the delay will naturally be long.

Du Zheng was a little worried in his heart, but seeing that Yunqing's expression was normal, he put this worry in his heart: "General, I will definitely guard Tongcheng." ”

Not long after, Guan Tai came in and reported something to Yun Qing, saying, "General, Xie Li's family committed suicide?"

Yun Qing's pupils shrank, and he said, "All of them committed suicide?" Xie Li made them lose so much, even if he respected Xie Li, he would not spare Xie Li and the people of the Xie family. It's not that Yunqing is ruthless, but that he should be ruthless to the enemy.

Guan Tai nodded and said, "It's not all the people of the Xie family, only the Xie Li family." Xie Li's family had a total of eighteen people, all of whom died, and their bodies were all found. ”

Yun Qing said: "Burial well!"

Ding Qingyu was waiting for Guan Tai outside and said, "I heard that Xie Li's family all committed suicide, is this true?"

Guan Tai nodded and said, "It's true." ”

Ding Qingyu said: "Xie Li only has one son, but he has six grandsons, seven granddaughters, and a great-grandson. ”

Guan Tai said: "How old is Xie Li's great-grandson?" Xie Li let them die so many people, and also made General Yuan seriously injured, if he didn't destroy the Xie family, he couldn't swallow this breath.

Ding Qingyu said: "About two or three months. General Guan, cutting grass does not eradicate the roots, and the spring breeze is alive. "Since you are already an enemy of life and death, then don't show mercy to your subordinates.

Guan Tai nodded and said, "You don't need to say this." However, I remember you saying that Xie Junxiong is only 31 years old this year, how can he have a grandson?"

Ding Qingyu said: "Xie Junxiong's eldest son has not yet married, and this one was born in a room. It is said that the room is the heart of the uncle of the Xie family. As for why the people of the Xie family would allow this child to be born, it is unknown.

Guan Tai couldn't help but praise: "Mr. Ding, it seems that you are indeed very familiar with the people in Ho City. "I even know Uncle Xie's room or something, this work is too meticulous.

Ding Qingyu said: "There is no one in Ho City who is more familiar than me, if you have my help, you will gain more." "At this time, it is necessary to actively recommend yourself to go out, instead of waiting here stupidly, stupidly waiting, there is no pie in the sky to fall.

Guan Tai's eyes lit up and said, "This is no problem, I'll go tell the general now." "With someone to help, it's a lot easier for him.

Yunqing did not refuse Guan Tai's request, but said: "The Xie family is a noble family in the northwest, if you don't have me, don't move for the time being." "People like the Xie family should not be wiped out, but should be co-opted. Now, it's time to employ people.

Kantai has no objections.

Yunqing reminded Guan Tai and said, "Let him help you, but you have to let people watch him." "Yunqing doesn't trust Ding Qingyu too much.

Guan Tai nodded: "General, if he dares to have bad intentions, I will take his life." Guan Tai believes that Ding Qingyu is not so stupid, and he will betray them at this time.

Yunqing took Gao Song to see Yuan Ying, and Yuan Ying was still conscious when he went. Yunqing asked, "How is it?

Yuan Ying smiled and said, "It's okay, you can't die." "I didn't die when I fought the barbarians in the north, so it's not worth dying here!

Yunqing felt that this was unlucky, and said, "Take care of your injuries, don't think too much." ”

Yuan Ying really didn't think too much about it, but he must have been alive again after being injured for a while. Yuan Ying said: "My subordinates are as tall as a mountain, and they have been helping me deal with the prisoners before. He's also more proficient in this, so it should be no problem for him to do it. ”

Yun Qing nodded and agreed, but he had too many things to do, and he didn't have time to talk to Yuan Ying: "Then you take care of it during this time." ”

Ho Castle is the most prosperous city in the northwest, and there are many doctors here. All of them were invited to take care of the wounded, and the doctor who treated Yuan Ying's injuries was surnamed He, who was very famous in Ho City.

Out of the house, Yun Qing asked this Doctor He: "Does General Yuan's injury matter?" When Yuan Ying spoke just now, he obviously didn't look very good.

Dr. He said: "This General Yuan injured his lungs, and although his life is not in danger, he will not be able to do strenuous exercise in the future. "The heart and lungs are important organs of the human body. If you hurt your lungs, you are tantamount to going to the roots.

Yun Qing's expression darkened, which meant that Yuan Ying could no longer lead troops to fight in the future, but fortunately, his life was worry-free, which was a blessing in misfortune.

The first thing Guan Tai raided was naturally the Governor's Palace. Ji Xuan fled, but basically everything was left, money is important, but life is even more important. However, even so, Guan Tai only confiscated more than one million pieces of silver and bits of gold in the Governor's Palace, and before, a prefect had confiscated more than this amount of gold and silver.

Guan Tai is not stupid, he can be sure that Ji Xuan must have hidden the gold and silver: "Arrest all these subordinates, and ask them where Ji Xuan hid the gold and silver jewelry? If they confess honestly, let them live." But if they do not confess, they will be killed alive. "Follow Ji Xuan, what good things can be!

What frustrated Guan Tai was that none of these subordinates knew where Ji Xuan's money was hidden. Ding Qingyu said: "Ji Xuanfeng has raised so many private soldiers, and all the money he has looted must have been used up. ”

Guan Tai glanced at Ding Qingyu, there was a sarcasm in his eyes, and said, "You are stupid to me? How much can it cost to raise 20,000 or 30,000 private soldiers a year? How much money did Ji Xuan loot in the northwest?"

Ding Qingyu said: "Now I don't know how many private soldiers Ji Xuan has raised?"

Guan Tai did not answer Ding Qingyu's question, but let one of his trusted subordinates bring 300 people to guard the Ji family to protect this treasure, and he himself continued to loot other people's homes.

Ho City is the most prosperous city in the northwest, there are many officials, there are more rich people, there is no way to compare locally, and the money confiscated is more than all the previous ones combined. This does not include the medicinal herbs, cloth, grain and grass that were brought.

Yunqing had too many things to deal with, so he let Gao Rushan, who had been promoted, take care of the captives. This time is different from before, this time Yunqing didn't give these people a choice, except for the injured ones who can be put home, he has to take all the others in. This time the losses were too great, and he had to replenish the men and horses as much as possible, and not only that, but he also had to recruit troops.

Guan Tai came back to see Yun Qing in the early morning, looked at Yun Qing's solemn expression, and asked, "General, what's wrong?" He guessed that it should probably be the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court that had arrived.

Yun Qing said: "No, it's the Northern Captives who have moved. It may not be long before the Northern Capture Army will arrive in Yucheng. ”

Guan Tai's face was also ugly when he heard this: "It seems that the Northern Captives have already gotten the news and want to take the opportunity to break through Yucheng." ”

If it was just the northern captivity, he would not be afraid, but the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court was estimated to be about to arrive. What he was most worried about still happened, and the price of breaking through the pickaxe city this time was too heavy, otherwise he wouldn't be so passive.
