Chapter 194: The Rebels Besiege the City
However, plans can never keep up with change!
Two days after Xue Liangbi left, Li Yi was about to arrange for Yang Yun and Qin Nuan to leave the city the next day, when a guard rushed to the study and reported loudly: "County Lord, the rebels outside the city are coming!"
How can it be so fast?
Countless warships seem to have appeared on the river out of nowhere!
The rebel ship was big and fast, and when it landed on the shore, the arrows on the ship rushed straight to the defenders on the river bank like dense locusts, so that the defenders on the shore could not raise their heads!
At the same time, the wide and long pallet was put down, and groups of wolf-like rebels rushed down!
Jiangnan soldiers, who have never experienced war, have seen such a formation there?
Although there are exercises in ordinary times, how can he ever kill the enemy with real guns and knives?
The rebels, wielding long knives, rushed into the flock like wolves, and those soldiers died and fled, and they collapsed......
And the riverbank is only more than 20 miles away from Yangzhou City!
I'm afraid that it won't be long before the rebels rush to the city, and the resistance of those government soldiers can't hold out much hope for them
Li Yi immediately dropped the paperwork in his hand and said to the waiter at the door: "Change your armor!"
Yang Yun hurriedly said: "Let's go and see it too!"
Li Yi glanced at Qin Nuan and nodded: "You also want to go to Jinling to experience the chaos of war, it's good to go and see!
Qin Nuan's small body can only bear the weight of small cowhide soft armor now. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Soon, Qin Nuan put on soft armor, dressed like a palace guard, followed closely behind Nian Baihua, and rode out of the Guangling Palace and went straight to the south gate of Yangzhou City.
There was almost no one on the long street, and the news of the rebels coming from the rebels was well known, and those who had the ability to run away ran away first, and the rest ran home to hide.
Li Yi took the Biao Jin Wuwei and a group of palace guards, and a team of nearly two hundred people rushed to the city wall of Nancheng quickly.
Before he dismounted, King Sheng also galloped with his guards, and the two only greeted each other and hurried towards the city.
The long staircase rushed up in one go, if it weren't for Qin Nuan, who had been training for several months, he would definitely fall on the city wall immediately.
She followed closely behind Li Yi, and heard a slight metallic sound from the silver armor on her body, and her face was covered with a half-silver mask, still only revealing her mouth, nose, and chin. On her body is a set of shiny and delicate fish scale armor, although it is not as thick and powerful as the Mingguang armor, and it is at least twenty or thirty catties by eyesight, but her steps are still light and fast.
Qin Nuan believed that Li Yi must have started practicing martial arts since he was a child, no wonder everyone said that His Royal Highness King Wu cultivated his only daughter as the eldest son.
She suddenly thought, did Li Longji know that he would die early, knowing that he would only have one daughter?
Just as she was distracted, she had already come to the gate tower on the city wall.
Outside the southern city, there have been defeated soldiers fleeing back, and a rebel army in the distance rushed towards Yangzhou City, and then in the distance, on the Yangtze River, a forest of masts and sails can be faintly seen.
Bai Chengxing stood in the center of the city gate tower and ordered: "Close the city gate!"
However, King Sheng on the side stopped: "The rebels have not arrived yet, let those retreating soldiers enter the city!"
Bai Chengxing retorted: "To meet the rout and flee, and to open the city gate to welcome them into the city?
Li Yi said: "This defeat is not their fault, let them in, and wait for the rebels to close the city gate five miles away from the city!"
A slightly dark and thin general next to him suggested: "General Bai, our army has very few troops now, can there be one more of these soldiers!"
Li Yi said: "What General Duan said is very true, now that these soldiers are locked up outside the city, I am afraid that they will only let them surrender the rebels!"
Bai Chengxing said angrily: "Then they deserve to die even more!"
King Sheng reprimanded impatiently: "Are you useful to say these great truths now!"
These government soldiers are just ordinary people, you want them to resist the tiger and wolf army of Kanglu Mountain? How is it possible?
Qin Nuan glanced at Bai Chengxing, this person really hasn't been on the battlefield, and he can only write official articles.
For that General Duan, Qin Nuan couldn't help but take a few more looks, this person was pragmatic, probably Duan Xiushi.
It looks like a gentleman, with a kind and humble face, like a Confucian student, if it weren't for the iron armor.
Soon, the black-pressed puppet Zhou army was not far from the city, and the thick gates of Yangzhou City were closed with a bang. The soldiers on the four walls of the city were ready with their bows and arrows.
The rebels who came up like a tide separated and besieged the city of Yangzhou.
Look, there are at least 30,000 or 40,000 people.
But there were only 5,000 soldiers in Yangzhou City, and there were less than 1,000 soldiers who fled into the city.
Many of those who were locked up outside the city and trapped by the rebels surrendered, and some of them would rather die than give in.
Qin Nuan looked at the corpses of the soldiers outside the city, and only felt sad and sad, and he couldn't even feel disgusted with the soldiers who had already thrown in.
However, after the rebels surrounded the city of Yangzhou, they did not take advantage of the situation to attack the city, but camped on the spot.
What does it mean to surround but not fight?
Despite this, the people on the city wall of Yangzhou did not dare to relax for a moment.
Although, seeing that the enemy army was digging trenches and camping, under the scorching sun, preparing meals, neither Bai Chengxing nor His Royal Highness King Sheng dared to give the order to go out of the city to attack.
Because there are too few soldiers in Yangzhou City, the disparity between the enemy and us is too great, and looking down from the city gate, the pseudo-Zhou army is heavily guarded, everything is in order, and there is no appearance of any chaos.
No wonder I heard that Kang Lushan ordered a strict purge of the army, and the soldiers were all fearless of death, and they could be a hundred, no wonder they were able to defeat all the armies of the imperial court in the south of the Yangtze River.
About two hours later, two sergeants from the enemy camp rode to the city.
They stopped two hundred paces away, just out of reach of their bows and arrows.
The sergeant's voice was very loud: "The people in the city listen: as long as you send Yuqing Immortal Gu out, our army will not invade Yangzhou City!"
It's Yuqing Immortal Gu again!
There were a few people who knew Qin Nuan, and they couldn't help but look behind the county lord Li Yi.
One of Li Yi's sides is Ding Yin, and the other is Qin Nuan, so naturally many eyes of unknown meaning fell on this little lady.
Bai Chengxing coughed lightly and asked, "County Lord, Yuqing Immortal Gu is the female history of the County Lord's side?"
Li Yi glanced at him: "Not bad!"
"Why does this traitor want Yuqing Immortal Gu?" he asked again.
Li Yi said coolly: "How do I know what that thief thinks!"
His Royal Highness King Sheng spoke up: "Tell the traitor, don't think about it! No matter what his purpose is, since he dares to come to Yangzhou, there is no reason to make peace with him! A dignified husband, if he fights when he encounters an enemy, how can he cower and ask for peace? Send the female thief to the thief?"
The tone was very sonorous, and everyone heard it in the quiet city.
Naturally, the two sergeants under the city also heard it.
So the man laughed: "I can't imagine that you would rather be a woman, but the lives of tens of thousands of people and soldiers in Yangzhou?"
These words are extremely vicious and heart-wrenching.
Bai Chengxing looked at King Sheng, then at Li Yi, and said, "Your Highness, there are priorities, I see ......"
Li Yi said to Ding Yin: "Scold this idiot!"
Her eyes were looking at the rebel under the city, but it sounded like she was scolding Bai Chengxing.
So Ding Yin smiled and said to the sergeant: "There are tens of thousands of people and soldiers in Yangzhou, so what? You say as if you are from your family! The toad blows the atmosphere, but it doesn't blow like this! Just rely on your miscellaneous beard master, what kind of woman do you want? Even our beggar woman in Yangzhou has a hair that is more expensive than him, and she will not give you half a bearded master! I heard that your miscellaneous bearded master's stomach has been dragged to the ground, and he can only crawl and walk like a toad!"
His voice traveled far and wide.
Many of the Shanzhou soldiers on the city wall laughed and scolded the two soldiers under the city.
The two sergeants were in a hurry, so they also scolded back, Li Yi took the longbow from Nian Baihua with his raised hand, drew the arrow and pulled the string, and shot two arrows "bang" and "bang" -
