Chapter Ninety-Five: The City Breaks
The snowflakes fluttered in the palm of his hand, melting into a drop of water in a moment. Snow is sticky, which is a sign of warmer temperatures. The huge hooves of the fist quickly turned into four huge snowballs, and watching the war horse spewing white gas hard, Li Er's heart was a little bitter.
Yun Hao's letter is very clear that if he does not rescue in time. In any case, there is no chance that he will survive. In order to prevent 100,000 Han people from being enslaved, this kid also fought hard.
"It is the luck of the Tang Dynasty that the young man can have this feeling of family and country!" Du Ruhui has evolved into a roundworm in Li Er's stomach and basically doesn't need words. Just by looking at Li Er's expression, he could guess what His Royal Highness King Qin was thinking.
"Keming, you don't know, this kid first arrived in Jinyang, Pi Lai's temperament, and he still remembers it. If it wasn't Hou Junji who sent the letter, Gu Zhen didn't believe that this kid could do such a thing. A person who dares to bargain with His Majesty today will fall into death for the sake of 100,000 people, in exchange for you will believe it? Li Er shook off the water stains in his hand and shook his head helplessly.
"Your Highness! Now that Liu Xiang and the Turks have made peace, if His Highness returns to Chang'an in the future, he will definitely be framed by those corrupt Confucians. Your Highness must prepare early! Yu Shinan, who had just come to the front of the army from Chang'an, as Li Er's henchman, immediately reminded him. This time, the political risk is as high as the military risk. As the general of the Tang Dynasty Qin Wang Tiance, is it worth taking this risk for a Yun Hao.
"Bosch's words are wrong! If someone frames His Highness, it will be a blessing for His Highness. Just imagine, His Highness is not here to rescue Yun Hao this time. It was for the 100,000 plundered Hebei people, and of course 8,000 Zuowu guards. If it succeeds, as long as the government and the opposition are dedicated to the people and the Tang Dynasty, they will praise each other. Even if Your Majesty saves 800,000 yuan of money, and returns a lot of grain and grass, I am afraid that it will only be rewarded, not reprimanded.
Just imagine, if Your Majesty reprimanded His Highness who saved 100,000 people. What the ministers of the world think, what the people of the world think. The reason why the former Sui lost the hearts of the people was because the emperor treated the people like dogs. Now a prince of the Tang Dynasty came to the battle to rescue the captive people. This is a manifestation of the royal family's peace and security like a son, will the people of the world not support such a royal family? Fang Xuanling looked left and right, and reminded Yu Shinan with a smile.
As Yu Shinan, who is in charge of Wenhan together, although he looks cowardly and weak, he has a strong temperament and dares to admonish. To put it bluntly, it is a tendon in the brain, although he is a good candidate for secretary, but he is not a good strategist.
The reason why Fang Xuanling reminded him was not because he liked Yu Shinan. It's because Yu Shinan is his uncle, and he is friends with Fang Xuanling's father Fang Yanqian. When the Fang family was down, they were taken care of by the Yu family. For the Yu family, the Fang family always owes a favor.
Yu Shinan was stunned for a moment, this kind of twisting and turning thing is too complicated. However, it is always good to save more than 100,000 lives, and Yu Shinan agreed with both hands.
"I don't understand what you said, but let's wave our army to cover up the past at this time and stab the ** of Jieli. This business is done, and this kind of idea can be thought up by the bad seed of Yun Boy. Very good for my old Cheng's temper! "Cheng Yanjin used to serve as Zuo Wuwei, and now he has many of his subordinates in Shuofang.
Yun Hao's idea is somewhat of a central flower. When the Turks were besieging Shuofang, Li Er suddenly appeared behind them, and this threat was huge. Although the Turkic horsemen were fierce, the shepherds behind them were weak. The shepherds who couldn't resist the impact of the Tang Dynasty army at all, and the shepherds who had lost the cornerstone of their rule were not mixed up at all on the grassland. Jie Li knows this better than Li Er. In addition to giving up the fat to his mouth and covering the retreat of the herdsmen with the army to the grassland, Jieli has no second choice.
Unless, he wants to destroy the whole army in Shuofang. Or they lost many herders and livestock, and returned to the steppe to be overthrown by other tribes.
"You murderer!" Du Ruhan smiled and pointed at Cheng Biting Jin.
"Your Highness! Chen and Jingde pursued and killed all the way, and more than 200 Turkic scouts have been wiped out. The army can move forward with confidence! Qin Qiong hit his horse and ran over, and he had been chasing and killing the Turkic scouts on the road with Wei Chigong for the past two days. Relying on the BMW under the crotch, the boxwood bow in his hand. Shot many Turkic scouts along the way, opening the way for the army.
"There is a time limit for scouts to travel and return to the team. With so many scouts not returning at the same time, I believe Jieli has already guessed that the army is coming. The order was given, and the army accelerated its march. rushed to Shuofang, and I didn't know what happened to Yun Hao's kid. After Li Er finished speaking, more than a dozen heralds with flags galloped out. The Tang Dynasty army was frantically thinking about the fierce battle of Shuofang's march.
Shuo Fang's Yun Hao was already in a hurry, and he didn't expect it. The Turks did not think about lying on the wall, but about chiseling through it. Damn the mindset, how can you think that the walls are all made of bricks and stones. His mother's Shuofang City is also a big city, and the dry hair is made of loess.
Kang Shealy was a cunning man, and he sent people to climb the wall along the ladder to attract the attention of the city. But he put most of his troops under the city, and took the blades and knives in his hands to chop the walls with axes. The rammed city walls of loess were quickly chiseled and mottled.
Yun Hao's soul was about to fly to the sky, and hundreds of thousands of Turks poured in. I will be chopped into dumpling filling, Lao Tzu is still young and doesn't want to die. Now they are about to regret their deaths, and they want to come to Shuofang for Mao. More than 100,000 people were taken captive by the Turks, and Lao Tzu was concerned. Those were Li Yuan and Li Er's people, not their own. For the sake of these people, they put their lives on the line, regret how can the medicine be sold, buy a few tons!
The precious oil bomb was thrown, and a terrible howl rang out. The Turks fled with fire and wailing. Gunpowder bullets are not used very much now, and the Turks have found a way to deal with them. As soon as a gunpowder bullet was thrown, several Turks would pounce on it and block it with their bodies.
This way of playing with life gave Yun Hao a lot of headaches, and the power was so small that it didn't work at all. But the power is great, Yun Hao is afraid of blowing up the fragile city wall.
But soon, the oil didn't work well. The Turks carved walls everywhere and tended to disperse. Three in one group, five in one. Originally, a single fire oil bomb could ignite dozens of fire people. Now it can burn a dozen people, and then it can be regarded as burning incense.
The jingling sound seemed to be a talisman, listening to Yun Hao's ears and smashing Yun Hao's heart. Yun Hao even felt that his heartbeat was beating with those tinkling sounds.
"Hahaha, boy, pick up a rock and hit your feet! This time, the old man wants to see how you die. "If there is a guy in Shuofang City who doesn't have to worry about his life now, it is Liu Wenjing. Even if the city is broken, with the status of an old friend of the Turkic people, it is not a problem to be treated as a guest.
"Old bastard, I'll take you with me when I'm dead, don't fuck anyone else." Yun Hao looked at Liu Wenjing viciously, if this bastard was not shot by the right servant of the Tang Dynasty, he really wanted to kill this bastard first.
"Humph! Kill the old man? How do you explain to Your Majesty? How to explain to King Qin? Don't forget, even if you're dead. You still have a wife and children, oh! By the way, you still have my wife. They're going to live! ”
"Old bastard, believe it or not, I'm going to make you worse than dead right now. You know that Lao Tzu has this ability, and if you want to live well, shut up the fuck. "Yun Hao really wants to smoke Liu Wenjing, but now is not the time to smoke him, it is the right way to come up with a way to deal with the Turks.
"Master Hou! The city wall can't be defended, and the subordinates have just ventured to see it. Several large holes have been dug in the south of the city, and if the Turks do not do it overnight, it will be noon tomorrow at the latest. The walls of the southern city will fall. The east and west cities are slightly better, but not much better. Ling Jing walked in, glanced at Liu Wenjing, who was sitting on the edge of the charcoal fire, and said to Yun Hao.
"I know, how much oil is there?" Yun Hao asked irritably, now the fire oil is life.
"Not much, there are less than 30% left. If you continue to use it like this, you will probably only be able to use it until tomorrow morning. Gunpowder did not dare to use it, and now it is actually helping the Turks. Ling Jing's news made Yun Hao a little desperate.
Gulping down water, beads of sweat the size of beans running down his cheeks. If he didn't come up with a good solution quickly, he and Zuo Wuwei's 8,000 people would be buried here. The air inside the city tower seemed to be stagnant, and everyone looked at Yun Hao, hoping that this handsome man could come up with a good way.
"Now immediately stop the supply of fire oil to the south city, and concentrate all the fire oil on the east and west cities, trying to prevent the walls of the east and west cities from being dug down." Finally, Yun Hao issued an order, but this order shocked everyone.
There are already several large holes in the southern city wall, which will definitely collapse if they are dug for another afternoon. If the city wall collapses and hundreds of thousands of Turks pour in, what a fart!
"Handsome! Nancheng ......! Ling Jing looked at Yun Hao in surprise, wondering if the young coach was crazy.
"Sooner or later, the walls will collapse, and the Turks will be let in in the afternoon. Behind the wall where the hole was carved out, gunpowder bullets were placed. The Turks poured in, and they blew up his mother. As long as the blow hurts them, the attack will be delayed. And a wall thirty or fifty feet wide collapsed, and you say how many people could pour in. As long as we hold the gap, we can kill and injure a large number of enemy troops. Gunpowder can also be of good use.
If you want to eat our Zuo Wuwei, fuck break your two front teeth first. Yun Hao slammed the table viciously, his face hideous like a ghost. Ling Jing shuddered all over, he had seen the power of gunpowder bullets. A large 50-pound gunpowder bullet exploded in the crowd, and the situation made people's scalps tingle when they thought about it.
"Boy, if you repent now. The old man can go to the Turkic camp and help you say good things. Saving you and these thousands of Left Guards is probably not a big problem. However, the money and food needed will have to be paid by your Yun family. Your Yun family is rich, you won't be stingy with this money to buy your life! After listening to Yun Hao's words, Liu Wenjing, who was sitting in a corner of the city tower and roasting the fire, suddenly said.
"Old fellows, they're all thousand-year-old foxes. Don't tell me ghost stories! Aren't you just afraid that the Turks will suffer heavy losses and that your peace conference will fail? Tell you, even if you go to the Turkic camp now. The peace negotiations are also bound to fail! If I Zuo Wuwei surrenders, I can survive alone, and Lao Tzu has your surname. ”
The Turks will retribution, the appearance of gunpowder and oil. Let the Turks already know that it was the same people who were sniping at them in Shuofang who were blocking their advance in Bingzhou. Now that there is a chance to completely annihilate the Zuo Wuwei Division, the Turks will definitely not be relenting.
"Boy, believe the old man. The old man can ......! Liu Wenjing wanted to say more, but was kicked to the ground by Yun Hao.
"Tie him up, and tie him to the pillar. If the city is broken, the first one will slaughter the old horseman. Yun Hao stared at Liu Wenjing viciously, and Liu Wenjing felt like she was being targeted by a wolf.
I can't let Liu Wenjing say any more, this guy's demagogic methods are amazing. If you continue to talk about the three-inch tongue, it is likely that someone will be tempted. What you see clearly may not be clear to everyone. If this old fellow convinces some soft-eared ones, he will probably be in danger in the event of a mutiny. Yun Hao saw that the eyes of several soldiers in the city tower were no longer right. In the face of life and death, not everyone can see death as home, and more people will have an instinctive desire for survival.
Qiu Shili went to Dongcheng, Sheng Yanshi went to Xicheng, and Yun Hao personally sat in Beicheng. Their duty is to keep the walls intact, and now they are dragging them. As long as it is delayed until Li Er's army arrives, it will be considered a victory.
Ling Jing's estimate was not wrong, just when the sun had just tilted to the west. The Turks who were besieging the city suddenly let out a cheer like a tsunami, and Yun Hao's eyes closed. The walls of the southern city finally collapsed, and brutal street fighting ensued.
The southern city was the focus of Konstar's attack, and he personally oversaw the battle here. Seeing the city wall collapse, a smug smile appeared on Kang's face. Ashina Simo, the first Turkic general who is a fart compared to Lao Tzu.
"Tell the Khan, and say that the walls of the southern city have collapsed. We'll be able to take Shuofang City soon! Kang Shealy gave the order triumphantly.
"No, I've seen it. Kang Sheli, worthy of my famous Turkic general. Jieli's voice came from behind Kang Shea, and when Kang Shali turned around, he saw Jieli and Ashina Simo coming together. Jieli's face was full of appreciation, but Ashina Simo's face was a little unnatural.
It is no wonder that Ashina Simo has always been rendered as the first general of the Turks because of the relationship between the descendants of Ashina's family. But he didn't lose his troops under the city of Bingzhou, and he tore a hole in the Shuofang city wall in just two days.
The army followed the opening, and fools knew that the fall of Shuofang City was only a matter of time.
After the stunned Kang Sheli and Jieli saluted, with a wave of their big hands, countless Turkic soldiers immediately rushed into the collapsed city wall more than 30 zhang wide.
Victory is at hand, all you have to do is move forward!
