Chapter 721: Rebellion

Wu Youren has never seen murder, but at this time he is still afraid, the Yan soldiers outside the city are only about a hundred people, so they dare to approach the city wall and release arrows into the city, that's all, but the Taiyuan soldiers in the city did not fight back at the first time, which made him unbearable!

But before he shouted and let go of the arrows, Li Chongjiu shouted first, Li Chongjiu was not in any danger, he hid behind the battlements, and there were two golden crow soldiers next to him to hold a shield, unless the arrows of the Yan soldiers outside the city would bend, they would never be able to shoot him.

Li Chongjiu shouted: "Shoot back, shoot back, release the arrow!" ”

But at this time, it is not easy to let the Taiyuan soldiers shoot back, the reason is very simple, that is, there are no Taiyuan soldiers next to the battlements, not that the Taiyuan soldiers are afraid of death, the soldiers and generals are originally the army defending the city, and it is the basic skill to release arrows at the head of the city, how can there be soldiers who are afraid to come forward, but at this time, the big and small lords, and a group of officials are staying at the battlements, they are all looking down, how can they think that the Yan soldiers dare to approach, and dare to shoot them with arrows.

And these nobles, as well as the officials, saw that as soon as the arrows were released below, they all lay down, wanting to dodge the arrows, but they didn't get out of the way, so that the Taiyuan soldiers couldn't get to the wall at all, and they couldn't kick the nobles and officials away, and the soldiers didn't dare!

At this time, Du Da under the city with his chin and the generals, shouted and chased after him, looking like he wanted to catch up with the Yan soldiers and fight, at least to drive the Yan soldiers away from the vicinity of the city wall, and they couldn't shoot arrows on it anymore, but they didn't chase well, and they couldn't catch up with the Yan soldiers at all!

Fu Bingrong led a team of Bohai warriors and Zhenxi soldiers. While firing arrows, he ran around the city wall until he ran out for a hundred feet. At this time, the Taiyuan soldiers can start to counterattack, but the quality of the counterattack is really a little poor, the Taiyuan soldiers don't want to be shot to death, they hide behind the battlements, and when they see the Yan soldiers coming, they will put two arrows, and wait for the Yan soldiers to pass. They shouted behind the battlements, pretending to attack the enemy very hard, and did a perfunctory thing!

This is where the importance of military loyalty comes in. Li Chongjiu did not completely control the army, and after he had just abandoned the Taiyuan soldiers outside the city, he wanted the Taiyuan soldiers in the city to give him his life and make sacrifices for him. It's like a pipe dream. It's impossible!

Even in the Taiyuan army, some veterans with flexible brains will think that the crisis encountered in Taiyuan this time is just that Li Chongjiu and King Yan are fighting for power, and who wins the most and who loses has nothing to do with them, the soldiers, and the small people in the city. Let's just live our own lives!

But if this offensive and defensive battle is fought, if the Yan army suffers a great loss. And if Li Chongjiu can't win in the end, if the Yan soldiers attack the city, they will definitely retaliate, who is unlucky in the end, isn't it their small soldiers and the people in the city, why do they shed blood for Li Chongjiu? Just because he's the new emperor? No kidding, Li Chongjiu became the new emperor, who admitted it? It's just that those big masters admit it, so why don't you let those big masters go into battle to kill the enemy?

Once there is such a thing that does not concern them in battle, then the army will no longer want to organize an effective counterattack, and when those nimble veterans say their thoughts, the recruits and even some low-ranking officers will think that this is the case, and the resistance will be even more powerless!

The Taiyuan soldiers are not very weak, after all, they are a regular army with an established system, and they also have the city wall as a backing, if they want to defeat Fu Bingrong's 100 or so people outside the city, it is simply too simple, they don't need to put arrows on the city wall, just open the city gate, and rush out with a countercharge, they can definitely beat Fu Bingrong and them to the ground!

But it's a pity that at this time, no Taiyuan general ordered to open the city gate and take the soldiers to charge, the reason is very simple, because the generals who have the power to order the city gate are not there, and they are all "controlled"!

When Li Chongjiu ordered Du Da Chin and King Jingde to control the army, Du Da Chin was very far-sighted and ordered all the middle and senior generals in the Taiyuan Army to be arrested, because this control method is the simplest and most effective, and King Jingde County also acquiesced!

But the current situation is that the children and grandchildren of the king of Jingde County, who have replaced the middle and senior generals, are accompanying Li Chongjiu's side at this time, "protecting" His Majesty the new emperor, and Du Dachin's Jin Wu army, part of them is chasing after Yan Bing's ass outside the city, and the other half is also protecting Li Chongjiu, so that the Taiyuan army is already leaderless, in this case, if they can still win the battle and beat Fu Bingrong's hundred or so people to escape, it will be a miracle!

Fu Bingrong took a hundred or so people, running around the city wall, as if he was showing off his might, not only did not lose a single person, of course, they no longer dared to approach the city wall, after all, scaring the nobles and scaring the regular army are two different things, but on the contrary, the Taiyuan soldiers understood that the Yan army was extremely powerful, which made the Taiyuan army begin to diffuse a kind of war weariness, this is a war that has nothing to do with them, the enemy is still so strong, so why should they be firm on the city wall?

When Fu Bingrong ran around Taiyuan City for a whole circle, tired and sweaty, even he didn't know that the guards on the Taiyuan city wall had already run a third of the way in such a short period of time, and everyone went home to protect their wives and children, as for who would protect the new emperor Li Chongjiu, this should be left to those big and small lords to do, who would let them be relatives with the new emperor!

At this time, the sky is getting dark, although the Yan soldiers have blocked the various city gates and roads, but due to the dispersion of troops, the blockage is actually blocked, but as long as there is a Taiyuan soldier of hundreds of people out of the city at this time, no matter which city gate comes out, you can easily drive away the Yan soldiers who blocked the door, many Taiyuan soldiers see this, but because no one has given the order, no one will be stupid to do this kind of thing, after all, if you go out of the city, you may die, no one wants to die!

It was almost dark, and Li Chongjiu found that the Yan soldiers below had not attacked much, so he relieved himself, slowly left the city wall, and said to Prince Cheng: "First spread the news that Yang Ze is dead, and tell the soldiers and civilians in the city." It's better to put up a notice, this can't be delayed any longer, and more. We can't wait in the city, send people out, recruit troops from nearby states and counties, and let the magistrates send troops to come and support, it is estimated that the Yan soldiers will arrive soon! ”

Prince Cheng hurriedly agreed, and he thought to himself: "His Majesty the Emperor finally understood things once, but it's a pity." The response is a bit slow, this order should have been given earlier! ”

At this moment, Wu Youren suddenly exclaimed, "Your Majesty." The brigade of Yan soldiers is coming, you see, there is dust in the distance, and there must be more than 10,000 cavalry galloping! ”

The lords of the city ran to the battlements together. Look into the distance. I saw that the south side was really dusty, although I couldn't see the specific number of people clearly, but with this momentum alone, I knew that the people who came far exceeded the Yan soldiers who arrived before, and the big and small lords scolded together in their hearts, Li Chongjiu is really a crow's mouth, at least half of the people at this time no longer regard Li Chongjiu as the new emperor in their hearts. He even treats him as a scourge and brings them the scourge of calamity!

Li Chongjiu threw himself next to the wall battlement. At this time, it was almost completely dark, in fact, if there was no trembling of the ground from afar, it would be difficult to detect the countless cavalry rushing in the distance by eyes alone, and as soon as you find it, you will immediately know that the real danger is coming!

Li Chongjiu hurriedly said: "With the strength of our Taiyuan City, can we resist these Yan soldiers, they seem to have a lot of people!" What can I do, what can I do? ”

Wu Youren was in a hurry, at this time, Li Chongjiu showed a panicked expression, isn't he shaking the heart of the army, although the military heart of the soldiers in the city has almost been shaken, but the last straw that crushes the camel still appears later the better!

Wu Youren said: "The Yan army that came must be the army brought out by Yang Ze, the emperor doesn't have to worry, as long as they get to the city, there will be infighting, let's just wait and see!" ”

He paused, and then said: "Our army can't attack, just look at Yang Ze's henchmen, how to start a war with Gui Baohua!" ”

Li Chongjiu only remembered at this time that they had already analyzed the situation of the Yan army brigade rushing outside the city, and the contingency strategy analyzed by Wu Youren himself was to do nothing and respond to all changes without change, this result was very much in line with his thinking, if he didn't have to do anything, he would directly win the victory, then of course it would be the best!

Li Chongjiu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The night is coming soon, it is a good time for infighting, let's watch the show tonight, it is estimated that when it dawns tomorrow, the Yan army will disappear, and they will kill themselves completely!" ”

Prince Cheng and King Jingdejun and others also breathed a sigh of relief, they nodded together, and said that it must be so, the emperor is wise, even if the current situation is not too good, but they are still very loyal to slap Li Chongjiu's ass!

But at this moment, a discordant voice sounded under the city, everyone looked down, it turned out to be Du Da chin with the Jin Wu soldiers and Taiyuan cavalry back, more than a hundred people followed the Yan soldiers around the city, and there were not a few people left behind, and even dozens of more people, it is estimated that it is a rout gathered halfway, it seems that Du Da chin led the troops to pursue, or full of results!

I heard Du Da chin shouting under the city: "Open the city gate, hurry up and let us in, don't be afraid, the Yan soldiers have already been beaten away by us, and now there is no enemy around here, hurry up and open the city gate, don't waste time, otherwise the Yan soldiers will come over again after a while!" ”

Now that there are indeed no Yan soldiers outside the city, Li Chongjiu immediately remembered this general who was loyal to him, and he hurriedly said: "Hurry up and open the city gate and let General Du enter the city!" ”

The king of Jingde County hurriedly agreed, and regardless of his age, his legs and feet were not dexterous, so he insisted on letting his children and grandchildren support him, personally went down the city wall, and went to open the city gate for Du Dachin, which can be regarded as giving Du Dachin face, and taking this opportunity to apologize to Du Dachin, after all, the two were in charge of the army together, and he fled back first, but threw Du Da's chin outside the city, this behavior is really a bit inauthentic.

Du Da chin entered the city, and after saying a few words to the king of Jingde County, he immediately went to the city and shouted at Li Chongjiu: "Your Majesty, the Yan army brigade has arrived, and the last general is on the ground to listen, it is estimated that at least 30,000 people have come, all of them are cavalry, very arrogant!" ”

Everyone thought to themselves: "They are all cavalry, and they can tell the difference without having to lie on the ground and listen to the sound!" ”

Li Chongjiu hurriedly asked: "Then how to retreat from the enemy, General Du may have a good plan?" ”

Du Da's jaw was stunned, and he thought: "What's the matter, I just came up and asked me how to retreat from the enemy, could it be that he wanted to throw me out again?" ”

He said: "There is no need to fight, as long as we wait and see what happens in the city, this Yan army will definitely be in chaos!" ”

Wu Youren nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, there will be infighting and chaos!" ”

Li Chongjiu let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Then let's wait here and see!" I'm hungry and haven't eaten for almost a day, so why don't we set up a banquet at the head of the city and drink while watching the Yan army fight? ”

Everyone felt hungry at this time, at the critical juncture, they were too nervous, and they couldn't feel hungry, but now they finally relaxed, and they immediately rose to hunger, and hurriedly asked people to send wine and meat, and some of the lords who would enjoy it even sent people back to call their own cooks, planning to cook the dishes in the city, and asked Li Chongjiu to taste it.

As the wine and food came up, even the tables and chairs were placed on the head of the city, the atmosphere changed and became relaxed, Li Chongjiu sat on the city tower, and he had the posture of Zhuge Liang singing empty city plans, but Zhuge Liang put the piano in front of him, and the roast mutton in front of him!

At this time, the Yan soldiers of the brigade had already rushed to the bottom of the city half a mile, but the Yan soldiers did not stop, but took the handsome flag in the center as the center and scattered on both sides, it seemed that they wanted to surround the entire Taiyuan City!

Wu Youren laughed, picked up the wine glass, saluted Li Chongjiu, and said with a smile: "This Yan army is really not enough to fear, although Taiyuan City is not as good as Chang'an, but it is one of the big cities in the world, if you want to encircle the city, you need at least more than 200,000 troops, but there are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses below, so you want to encircle the city, not only can you not surround it, but also disperse the troops, I don't know if this bad idea was thought up by Yang Ze's henchmen, or Gui Baohua came up with it, anyway, it is extremely stupid!" ”

When the lords and gentlemen on the city tower heard this, they all laughed, and everyone's face was a look of no concern for the Yan army below!

But at this time, Prince Cheng's eldest son whispered to Prince Cheng: "Father, that Lord Wu doesn't seem to know how to soldier!" The Yan army doesn't need to besiege the city, they just need to block the city gate! "He has been trained in the folk anyway, and he still understands some of the situation.

Prince Cheng whispered: "He can say whatever he likes, you just listen, don't say much." Alas, I regret it now that I let you come back, it seems that the situation is not good! ”

The eldest son lowered his voice and said, "Father, the news that King Yan is dead was brought back by Li Mofeng, if it is false news, that King Yan is not dead......"

"Then we're all going to die!" The muscles on Prince Cheng's face twitched, he was also worried about this now, Yan Jun still ran in formation, without a trace of chaos, this is a little wrong!

The eldest son looked at Wu Youren, who was still joking with Li Chongjiu, and whispered, "Then should we prepare for both hands first?" If the Yan army is infighting, then it will continue as originally planned, and if the death of King Yan is fake news, then it will not be able to follow ...... Follow Wu Youren again, this guy's head, borrowing it from us at that time is also a way to get King Yan's forgiveness! He was embarrassed to say that he wouldn't follow Li Chongjiu.

Prince Cheng also glanced at Wu Youren, hummed softly, and whispered: "Look at the infighting below, let's wait and see what happens, and don't be busy making decisions!" (To be continued......)
