Chapter 769: There should be no embarrassment
The city wall is full of rolling wood and stones, and Yin Ziqi's bamboo couch has almost no room for him, but he can't move freely, and if he doesn't have this thing, he will never be able to.
"These are far from enough, Tang Bing's strange weapons are too powerful, and they must be prevented from having new tricks. ”
Even if he was weak, he did not forget to explain some of the points he thought of with a few lieutenants who accompanied him.
The lieutenant generals followed behind one by one with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and they suddenly appeared outside the city of the powerful Tang soldiers, maybe if there was a slight mistake, they would be wiped out.
Since even the Son of Heaven believed in this paralyzed man, what reason did they have for not obeying orders? Thus, Tang Bing's sudden attack actually contributed to the unity within the Yan army.
The road of the city wall was full of all kinds of fortification equipment, a group of soldiers carried burlap bags past them, and suddenly one of them was unstable and fell, and the burlap bag on his shoulder fell in various ways, and the quicklime in the bag burst out, and it happened that a strong wind blew at this time, and in an instant it filled a whole section of the city wall.
Yin Ziqi was so choked that he couldn't open his eyes, and waited for the lime powder in the sky to fade before he took a long breath. Seeing that he was like this in front of the marshal, the soldier who resisted the sack immediately knelt on the ground in fright and begged for mercy, but fortunately, Yin Ziqi didn't want to embarrass him, so he asked him to quickly clean up the mess on the ground, so as not to delay the people behind.
"Carry me to the battlement!"
Hearing this, the two military servants obediently carried him over to the battlement, but they couldn't help but hear the sound of breaking the air. Not just screamed, Yin Ziqi had a premonition, and looked out of the city, only to see more than a dozen black balls smashed over with lightning speed, and subconsciously wanted to dodge, but it was too late.
I only heard the sound of knocking and knocking, mixed with the sound of sparse noise. Yin Ziqi even felt that the city wall under his feet was trembling, and for a moment he even doubted whether Luoyang City, which he had always believed in the high and deep city, could withstand this kind of fierce attack.
"Are you two dead?
The military officer carrying Yin Ziqi was stupid, standing in place and shivering, and an adjutant general rushed over and roared angrily from them.
Yin Ziqi firmly refused:
"You don't need to carry me down, although the power of Tang Bing's building is terrifying, it can't hit me. ”
Yin Ziqi is such a smart person, after only a few rounds, he can see the advantages and disadvantages of Tang Bing, a monster that can shoot iron balls.
Thinking of the fire in the grain pile in the urn city last night, it can already be concluded that the monster must have thrown the flammable materials into the urn city, which caused the irreparable fire.
"The commander is the heart of an army, in case something misses......"
The deputy general's surname is Mi, but he is a conscientious person, although Yin Ziqi categorically wants to stay in the city, he keeps persuading him to go down quickly.
Yin Ziqi can't go down, he has his own reasons why he can't go down, Tang Bing has come up with a lot of unprecedented terrifying weapons, if he doesn't stay in the city at this moment to observe, how can he make a proper response?
He had a hunch that conventional measures and means of defending the city alone might not be effective against the Shenwu army that was eyeing the outside.
The two military officers were eager to go down to the city to hide immediately, and they even had the courage to persuade:
"The marshal still listens to Vice Admiral Mi, in case he is injured, how can he be ......?"
"If you don't want to die, keep your mouth shut!"
There was not too much Polish in a word, and even calmly made people think that he was just chatting, but the military officer suddenly felt the cold air rushing to his head from the soles of his feet, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound anymore, and he forgot to close his mouth open.
Yin Ziqi treats them well, but it doesn't mean that they can interject at will on any occasion, and giving them some color now is just a small warning.
"The urn city should be cleaned up as soon as possible, if there is food that has not been burned, if it does not affect the food, it will be left, and priority will be given to those handymen who are responsible for repairing and refurbishing. ”
As long as you raise soldiers and people, you have to waste food, and Yin Ziqi, who knows the importance of food, is reluctant to waste even a grain of food. This kind of overheated grain is extremely poor in taste and texture, and it should not be stored for a long time, so it can only be eaten as soon as possible. He didn't want to deprive the soldiers of good food, so he had to start with the handymen who were not soldiers.
There were more than 100,000 stone of grain that was moved into Wengcheng yesterday, and even if there was still unburned grain, I am afraid there would not be much left. Yin Ziqi estimated that at least about three or four percent would be left, but after the results of the cleanup came out, he was disappointed, because not even a single percent of the grain was cleared out of the ashes.
Yin Ziqi was stunned for a while, and the 100,000 stone grain was gone. Fortunately, the Shenwu Army started last night, and if it was delayed for another two or three days, the loss of the four or five hundred thousand stone of grain that he really piled up in the urn city would be even greater. He smiled bitterly, is this a misfortune or a blessing?
However, it can be seen from this alone that the Shenwu Army has no intention of fighting for food at all, in other words, the so-called exchange level is just a trick. Moreover, it is also confirmed from the side that they also know that the longer it takes, the worse it will be for them, so they only wait for one night to do it. It seems that the Shenwu Army is bound to attack the city, but he himself thinks about the problem too simply.
"Dashuai, look at that monster moving, it seems to go back again!"
The behemoth outside the military service Jue City gradually moved backwards, and blurted out in shock and horror. Yin Ziqi looked over again when he heard the sound, and saw that the Shenwu army in the array was also gradually withdrawing troops.
"After tossing all night, they should be tired too!"
It was only at this moment that Yin Ziqi's heart was slightly relieved, at least he could be sure that the Shenwu Army had no intention of attacking Luoyang today.
However, after he had just realized that the Shenwu Army was also in a hurry to break through the city, he had no luck in his heart, and he waited for several days in a row, and every day could become a decisive day. Yin Ziqi was only secretly thinking about whether the Shenwu Army would come up with more terrifying weapons.
When the Shenwu army completely withdrew to the camp, Yin Ziqi patrolled the city for a week, and it was already past noon when he returned to his residence.
At this time, he was hungry and had a dry mouth, but he couldn't lift the ** to eat, so he only drank half a bowl of hot tea soup to moisten his chapped lips.
"Go to the palace!"
After all the explanations were completed, Yin Ziqi knew that he had to meet An Qingxu, and he had to take responsibility for the events of last night and today, and explained to him various problems in the meantime.
Not surprisingly, An Qingxu really thundered again, and the blood of Yin Ziqi's scolding came to his head. But his most radical reaction was limited to this, and now he couldn't find a character worthy of the task in Luoyang City. When it comes to such a strong opponent, An Qingxu can't help but miss Sun Xiaozhe, who doesn't know life and death.
Although Sun Xiaozhe is known as a great talent by the world, when he is by An Qingxu's side, he can always sort out the clues for him whenever he encounters a problem, and put forward the most appropriate and appropriate suggestions.
On the other hand, now, although there is a solemn one around him, he is a character who only knows how to echo in most cases, and Ashina Chengqing is a little talented, but at this time he is in Hebei, and it is difficult to quench his thirst from afar.
The one who didn't let An Qingxu worry the most was Yin Ziqi, who was able to rise to the sky just now with a little fame, not only disobeying his orders, but also making his own decisions so that it caused a big disaster. If you are worried that someone has the courage to do it, you will not hesitate to deal with it.
Fortunately, Yin Ziqi was not in a hurry to defend himself today as usual, and An Qingxu scolded comfortably and transparently. He looked at Yin Ziqi, only to see that his face was pale, his body was trembling slightly, as if the whole person was holding on, enduring inexplicable pain.
Seeing this, An Qingxu felt a lot more comfortable, and he couldn't let this guy feel comfortable.
"Tell me, what else do you have to explain!"
After the leak, An Qingxu still has to listen to Yin Ziqi's explanation, after all, 100,000 stone grain is by no means a decimal, and if it is said that it will be burned if it is not burned, it must be given a reasonable explanation. It's just that between the words, there is no more courtesy from before, and there is dissatisfaction and disgust.
Yin Ziqiyan could not see An Qingxu's dissatisfaction with himself, but in this case, only bowing his head and being soft was his best choice. If he forcibly distinguished, he would only anger An Qingxu in the end, and if he provoked him, it would not benefit him at all from the current situation.
"The minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty!"
An Qingxu sneered.
"I know you're guilty, and don't expect me to forgive your sins before this battle is won. Forgiveness or unforgiveness is all about whether you can redeem your sins, you see?"
"The minister doesn't dare to hope extravagantly, but he wants to do his best for His Majesty!"
An Qingxu laughed insolently.
"I don't need you to die, you just talk about how you angered the Tang soldiers, how the food in the urn city caught fire for no reason, and what way should Emperor Daxing think of to get it back!"
threw out three questions in a row, all of which Yin Ziqi didn't want to answer and had to answer. In his opinion, these three problems were purely caused by An Qingxu's stupidity, if he ignored the coercion of the Shenwu Army from the beginning, how could there be such an embarrassing situation now?
Yin Ziqi felt as if there was a fire burning more and more in his chest, if he didn't suppress it early, he was really afraid that he would explode in the palace, and there would really be no room to turn back at that time.
Repeatedly suppressing the anger in his heart, Yin Ziqi replied in the most peaceful tone he felt:
"Your Majesty, the reason why Tang Bing didn't believe what he said and suddenly attacked was because they had no intention of negotiating with my Dayan. The Great Fire of the Urn City was caused by the Tang soldiers to throw combustibles into the Urn City from outside the city with a huge weapon that could throw heavy objects. In the meantime, there was the negligence of the soldiers who were responsible for taking care of the urn city, and by the time of the current fire, the fire could not be extinguished. The minister did not see through Tang Bing's tricks in time, and he was negligent in his vigilance, so he was duty-bound!"
Then there was the last question, which was a great headache for him, but there was no room for evasion.
"Judging by the observation of the ministers, Tang Bing has no intention of returning the ...... of Emperor Daxing"
