Chapter 34: The Harvest

Princess Xu changed her medicine and used a bowl of rice porridge, and her spirit was much better, "I didn't hear the noise of the Southern Army today." ”

Zhang Zhaohua ate the remaining half of the crockpot rice porridge, and when he heard the words, he said: "They were shocked today!"

She couldn't help laughing when she said it, because Master Daoyan had already calculated that there would be a strange cold last night, so the soldiers defending the city took advantage of the night, carried people to the city on their shoulders, and then poured the water on the city walls around the nine gates, and spilled it nervously and busily for a night, so at dawn today, what was presented in front of the southern army was an "ice city".

Princess Xu was happy, she wanted to go out to see for herself, so Zhang Zhaohua wrapped a silk on her head, covered the wound with a headscarf, and helped her out to walk around the city wall. Sure enough, there was a thick ice on the gates, and a soldier threw two straws down, and both slipped all the way.

The southern army also seemed to be dumbfounded, and they also tried to climb a little, but they could climb up to half a meter at most, and all of them fell to eat, and even the ladders and other siege equipment were twisted left and right on the ice, and they couldn't support it at all.

Next, the weather was cold, and Beiping City ushered in a little respite. Because Qu Neng and Li Jinglong had a dispute, Li Jinglong was a little stunned in his heart since Gao Chi pointed out the matter of Cao Guogong, he wanted to retreat ten miles on the grounds that Beiping could not be attacked for a long time, and the soldiers could not rest at night, and Qu Neng advocated an onslaught, he said that the last time he reached the female wall of Li's main gate, if he did not withdraw the troops, he would have already conquered Beiping.

Li Jinglong was originally weak-hearted, and he was swept away by Qu Neng, so he was naturally angry, he pointed to Li Zhengmen, who was surrounded by ice, and said: "If you have the ability, get rid of this ice, and then you can do it!"

Qu Neng responded angrily, he circled around the Nine Gates for a long time, and found that the tunnel of the Changyi Gate was actually dug very close.

When the army besieged the city, Qu Neng ordered to dig tunnels to break the city, and the tunnels of the Lizheng Gate, Chongren Gate, and Anding Gate were discovered, so they were interrupted - but the Changyi Gate was not discovered, because the land of the Changyi Gate was hard and rocky, and the Yan army did not believe how many meters they could dig.

Qu Neng was overjoyed, he chose a man from the army who was agile, and carried the tribulus fireball into the tunnel. This tribulus fireball is eight iron thistles, each with a reverse beard, tied together with paper and sulfur, flame nitrate, charcoal, dry paint, gunpowder and poison, with hemp rope in the middle, one foot and two feet long, these people stuffed the fireball into the gate of Changyi Gate, and shouted to the top of the city tower: "The tunnel is open, the tunnel is open!"

The Yan army really made a move, and found the tunnel under the gate of Changyi Gate, and the southern army estimated that it was almost there, so they used a red-hot iron cone to ignite the thistle terrestris - "boom", with a loud noise in the depths of the bottom, the thistle terrestris exploded, accompanied by poisonous smoke to blow dozens of Yan troops out.

The ice was shattered, the city gate was actually blown up, the Changyi Gate was in chaos, and Li Jinglong took advantage of the situation to order a fierce attack on the Li main gate, and the situation was extremely critical.

Zhang Zhaohua heard that the Changyi Gate was in danger, and he was happy and anxious, happy because the plan was about to succeed, and he was anxious because he was afraid that the Changyi Gate would really be breached, that is, stealing chickens would not make rice.

She hurried to the Changyi Gate, and glanced behind her before flying on the horse, between which the old general Gu took off his armor, revealing the colorful patterns on his chest and arms, this pattern was tattooed by Gu when he was a child, his family has been boating for generations, and it is said that after tattooing this pattern, he made an agreement with the river god that the boat would not capsize.

Now he held a lance and swept away a piece of the southern army that surrounded him, and the sergeants were inspired by him to kill the enemy bravely, Zhang Zhaohua's heart was agitated, turned over his horse, and ran to Changyi Gate.

From a distance, I saw the gate of Changyi Gate open, and Qu Neng, who was the leader, actually broke through alone, and Zhang Zhaohua shouted: "Cabinet horse gun!

The defenders also seemed to be intimidated by Qu Neng's bravery, and for a while, he actually cut down seven or eight of them, and the rest of them were stunned, and only when they heard Zhang Zhaohua's roar did they move, and together they dragged away the cabinet horse guns that led to the streets of the city.

The cabinet horse pistol was made of crossbars and crossed iron spears, specifically to intercept war horses, and sure enough, Qu could see this thing, so he stopped his horse, he looked behind him, and found that the follow-up troops did not follow-

Zhang Zhaohua also found out and shouted: "Stop and kill Qu Neng!

The Yan army's foot soldiers rushed over, although they didn't dare to fight closely, but they stabbed Qu Neng's war horse with a spear, and the war horse neighed, as if it was unbearable pain. Qu Neng rushed left and right, only sporadically waiting for five or six southern troops to enter the city, he was afraid that the Yan army would come and capture him alive, so he had to turn his horse and prepare to go back.

Zhang Zhaohua suddenly saw a person rushing out next to him, this person was dressed in rags and seemed to be dressed as a beggar, but he quickly grabbed a military horse, turned over, and was about to follow Qu Neng out.

Zhang Zhaohua suddenly realized who this person was, and she also jumped forward, pointing at this person and shouting: "Catch this person, reward a hundred taels of gold!"

The Yan army could no longer catch up with Qu Neng, but this man had not run far, and several soldiers pulled up the tripping rope, and this man crossed two of his horses, but he tripped on the third rope and fell headlong.

Zhang Zhaohua was overjoyed, she immediately stopped the soldiers who were pursuing Qu Neng, ordered not to pursue, and then carried the wooden girl's head to the city gate, blocking the place destroyed by the city gate.

Not long after Qu Neng went out, he heard that the southern army camp Mingjin had withdrawn his troops, he was very angry, and when he saw Li Jinglong, he couldn't help but ask: "The last general has broken through the city defense of Changyi Gate and broke through alone, but he heard that the general Mingjin had withdrawn his troops, I don't know what his intentions are?"

But he didn't expect Li Jinglong to snort coldly and said, "You still come to ask me! Isn't it that you have already secretly communicated with Yan Jun and want to surrender and rebel?"

Qu Neng said inexplicably: "What kind of secret song?"

Li Jinglong said angrily: "You sent someone to the Yan army, what did you talk about, do you want the general to remind you? If it weren't for the Yan army himself who leaked his mouth, how could the general know about your deceitful deeds in the dark room! This general is here to supervise the siege of the city, and before the size has entered, you have broken through the Changyi Gate without much effort, and you want to lead the army into the ambush of the Yan army, so as to make meritorious contributions to your new master!"

Secretary Luo Xian's eyes rolled slightly, he had already told Li Jinglong everything he had heard from the Yan army when Qu Neng broke through the Changyi Gate, and Qu Neng from the Changyi Gate was like entering a no-man's land, and when he came out, there was not even a Yan army pursuing.

Isn't this enough to show that the striker Qu Neng has defected?

Li Jinglong saw that Qu Neng's argument was fierce, and he was suspicious, he was also afraid that he had learned Cao Cao and been tricked by the enemy, so he simply imprisoned people in hesitation, and retreated ten miles.
