Chapter 497: Victory in sight
Before the evening came, another big battle started under Fencheng.
The battle ended with the withdrawal of the attacking Fang Yan Wangfu, leaving thousands of corpses under the city. Although the attack of Yanwangfu failed again this time, it caused great pressure on the defenders of Fencheng. They never imagined that the Yan Wangfu, which had just been defeated at noon, would actually launch another attack before evening. This is a manifestation of taking life inappropriately, and it is also a manifestation of impetuousness.
Murong Tie didn't celebrate with his subordinates, nor did he be proud alone, but just told his subordinates very seriously: "It seems that Zhao Di can't hold his breath." ”
He believed that as long as they held out for a few more days and resisted the more fierce attacks of the Yan Wangfu, the victory would be theirs. They will repeat the glory of Taizu back then, defend the people of Fencheng, and stop Zhao Di's journey north.
So Murong Tie had no pride, no fear, no fear, and all his emotions finally converged into two words: excitement.
After Zhao Di raised his army, Yan Wangfu went all the way north, attacked nine cities in a row, and won successive victories, so the morale of the Yan army was very high. Many cities in the north are extremely worried, although they don't know what the little emperor hiding in the deep palace thinks, but they must also be very worried. Murong Tie secretly thought that if he blocked the advance of the Yan army in Fencheng, and was in the place where Taizu had created a great legend, wouldn't he have become a great hero to save the country?
At that time, Chu Yunxue went out to conquer the eastern and western countries, all of which were invincible and invincible, and was praised as a victorious general by Taizu, and was named the Marquis of Yasukuni at the age of 30. He is about the same age as him, but he brought it out by hand, so he may not be able to develop better than him. As long as this battle is won, the emperor will not be stingy with a title for himself.
As soon as he thought of this, Murong Tie's confidence was high and he was very excited.
Sleep at night was also greatly affected by this mood.
But he just wanted to sleep today, and he couldn't fall asleep, because there was a commotion and noise in the city.
On the back side of Fencheng is a large river, and the fishermen in the city depend on this big river for their livelihood. Today, the fishermen found a strange thing in the river, and hundreds of fishermen invited nearby farmers to work together to salvage the thing, only to find that the thing was actually a statue.
What surprised them even more was that this statue was actually the appearance of Taizu!
When the news reached Fencheng, the people and soldiers of Fencheng were shocked, and Murong Tie was also shocked.
They thought of the rumors about Taizu in Fencheng, and thought of the statue of Taizu that the people of Fencheng paid for at their own expense after Taizu left. But they never expected that the statue of Taizu would appear at this time!
What is this? This is auspicious!
Great auspiciousness!
When Murong Tie watched the statue of Taizu being slowly carried into the city from the north gate, he only felt that a glorious light fell in the dark sky, enveloping himself in it.
He burst into tears.
He firmly believed that God was watching over him, and hinted to him that he must win. If the present life of Taizu's sculpture and the prevention of Yanwangfu's northward movement are connected, the people of the world still regard him as a blessed general of the heaven-sent Yasukuni? After this battle, how high will his prestige be? It is simply a glorious ancestor and a name that will go down in history!
The huge sense of happiness and excitement made Murong Tie overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to open the door now, and cut off his rebellious head with his own hands in order to attack Zhao Di by surprise.
But he wouldn't do that because he was Murong Tie.
If the current guard of Fencheng was not Murong Tie, maybe Fencheng would have been gone a long time ago. It is precisely because he is Murong Tie that Fencheng has always been there.
Chu Yunxue once said that there are many capable people under him, but there are not many people who are really capable of being marshals. The four protectors are not good, Chu Yunshuang is still a little close, but Murong Tie can. So he asked the emperor for Murong Tie, and Murong Tie left Chu Yunxue's army and became an army on his own.
So the more critical the moment, the less he will let his emotions get out of control.
"Keeping a clear head at all times is a necessary quality for a handsome person and a general. Murong Tie hadn't forgotten what Chu Yunxue had said to him.
So he called a meeting of the generals overnight.
"Taizu appeared to bless his country, his people, and at the same time bless us. This is a sign of victory. We have endured and persevered for so long in hardship, helplessness, and hunger, and we will eventually usher in the light!"
Murong Tie sat flat and steady, full of spirit, and encouraged his subordinates with stern words.
"General, the statue of Taizu is in the world, and Zhao Di will definitely be defeated. Why don't we go out with the whole army tonight and kill Zhao Di by surprise!" The appearance of the statue of Taizu has affected many people, and many generals have the idea of Taizu's aura blessing on themselves, as if as long as they think about the statue in the city, their bodies are full of power.
Murong Tiedao: "I understand your feelings, we are simply in sight of victory." But the more this happens, the more we have to take advantage of it. When the statue of Taizu did not appear, although we paid a heavy price, we also made the Fencheng guards impregnable. Now that the statue of Taizu is in the world, what is the possibility of Zhao Di being able to capture Fencheng? But you must know that Zhao Di is now impetuous, and impetuous people are prone to do some crazy things. So I'm sure tomorrow they're going to attack more ferociously, and it's going to be a big test for us. Taizu is watching us, we must show blood and courage even more to not let Taizu down!"
"General, you mean, keep going?"
"Of course, what is our responsibility? Our responsibility is to defend the country, not to let Zhao Di die under Fencheng. As long as we hold Fencheng and block the northward march of Yanwangfu, then we will be victorious, and I and all of you will be the heroes of the empire! ”
The generals looked at each other and nodded in approval.
"General, what should we do now? Where is the statue of Taizu?"
"Tonight, we will transport it to the south gate first, and then we will carry the statue up to the city tower early tomorrow morning!"
"What, carry up the tower!?" all the generals were shocked.
A wicked smile appeared on Murong Tie's face, and he said: "Tomorrow at dawn, when Zhao Di looks at our Fencheng, he will see the statue of his father, what do you think he will feel? Those soldiers in the Yanwang Mansion are all people of Yasukuni, when they see the statue of Taizu looking at them in the city tower, and they are still running towards the statue of Taizu with their swords, how will they feel?"
