Chapter 322: Under the Heavy Reward
a ?k??? รก}?) bJeF? S???) _??? 47?? Yg0?? $? Hj???? +YBx?? After a shout, there was a rush on the city tower.
After Qi Shi was sent back, he couldn't get up from the bed. A long, deep wound on the chest, with so much blood loss.
He had more than 20 stitches, and yesterday was a busy day, and his iron body couldn't bear it. The doctor said that his wound showed some signs of suppuration and that he had to stay in bed for a few days.
Qi Shishi originally refused, but everyone asked him to drink painkiller decoction, and by the way, the doctor put the calming herbs, Qi Shishi went down in a bowl, and he fell asleep without sleeping.
It's just that he fell, and the dragons in the city were leaderless.
Except for Fu Yuande, he has the highest official position, and in the past two days, Captain Lu and others have listened to his orders. Now that he is gone, everyone is busy, but they are spinning like flies without a head.
Some veterans shouted loudly to make everyone line up, but no one paid attention, and the sound was drowned out in the running.
Yudong saw that everyone was disorganized, and hurriedly shouted loudly, "Don't mess up, don't mess up, each battlement guards one person!"
A few people who had just joined the army next to him heard his words and stopped their steps, "Uncle Yan said, let us guard one person from each battlement." โ
All of a sudden, everyone stopped running blindly, and each looked for the battlements to stand in line.
Zhong Youxing and Qian Chang were born in the army, and the two followed behind Yudong, arranging for a veteran to take three recruits from each battlement, and the four thousand people on the city tower were in order.
The veteran took a bow and arrow, the recruit took a shield and two took a broadsword, and the four of them attacked and defended, and they could be close to each other for a long time.
On the Songcheng side, after King Teng sent a secret envoy yesterday, he waited for the good news that Runzhou would open the city gate.
But the night passed, and Runzhou was silent.
He originally thought that Fu Yuande was not a hard bone, and he sent a secret envoy to lobby, and he could make him surrender the city in a few words.
Unexpectedly, this Fu Yuande actually refused his surrender.
In the early morning, I heard the spies report that there were many more defenders on the upper floor of Runzhou City.
King Teng sent people to guard the surroundings of Runzhou, and was sure that there was no imperial reinforcement to enter the city, could it be that Fu Yuande was suspicious?
"Since Fu Yuande doesn't know how to lift, let him know that he knows how powerful. King Teng was furious, and brought 30,000 soldiers to attack the city, "Everyone work hard, wait for Runzhou City to be taken, and we will work in the city tonight." โ
"Lord Wang, we have received a secret report that there are only 1,000 defenders in Runzhou. Looking at the head now, there are four or five thousand people, why don't you wait for the spies to report it?" Mr. Xi saw that the number of people was wrong, and he hesitated.
"Sir, don't worry. The news of the spies must be correct, there are only 1,000 defenders in the city of Runzhou. Now those people, it is estimated that Fu Yuande is suspicious, and he has pulled the people up to make up the number. โ
"Lord Wang, Runzhou is a very important matter, why don't we wait for General Hong's army to arrive, and then we attack the city? โ
King Teng smiled disapprehantly, "A bunch of rabble, why wait for the army?" Don't worry, sir, it is estimated that it will only take one or two hours to take Runzhou. If there are no reinforcements, just rely on Fu Yuande, plus Qi Shi, who is brave and unscrupulous, how can he worry about it. โ
"Lord Wang, could it be that there are still ambush soldiers in the city?" Mr. Xi looked at the appearance of the city tower, and it didn't look messy.
King Teng rode on a horse, waved his horsewhip and pointed to the Runzhou City Tower, "Let people go to the city to persuade them to surrender first." If Fu Yuande doesn't know how to lift again, let people attack the city on all sides at the same time. Whoever is the first to attack Runzhou City will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. โ
Since he planned to lead his troops out of Shuzhong, he had already sent people to investigate the situation in Qingzhou and Runzhou, and the situation of the defenders in the two places was clear.
Hong Tianxi is a good hand at leading troops, but he Li Shiji is not like Emperor Wu, who doesn't understand the art of war at all.
Runzhou, which has only a thousand defenders, he hasn't paid attention to it yet.
King Teng gave a heavy reward, and after the heralds passed the order separately, the morale of the Shu army was even higher.
One hundred taels of silver, this is not a small amount.
Mr. Xi heard that King Teng had given this order, so he couldn't say anything else, so he had to say, "Lord Wang, since you plan to take Runzhou City today, why don't you send someone to meet General Hong in the back, lest he run to Songcheng with a large army......?"
"Originally, I wanted to spare Fu Yuande's life, but since he was bent on death, there was no need to be embarrassed. After taking Runzhou City, if Fu Yuande can be captured alive, he will be handed over to General Hong for disposal. If he dies, give his head to General Hong. โ
While speaking, the army arrived at the city of Runzhou.
A soldier was ordered to shout at the tower, "Listen up and down the city, my lord's soldiers are coming to the city, surrender quickly, and spare your lives." โ
He shouted twice, and someone from the tower looked over, but no one answered.
"......Listen up and down the city," the soldier was about to shout a third time, when someone leaned out from the tower and said loudly, "Why are you so verbose, seeing that we don't respond, aren't you just too lazy to pay attention to you?"
It turned out that Zhao Quansheng was impatient to listen.
"If you want to fight quickly, if my uncle doesn't say anything and don't cut it, Lao Tzu will reward you with an arrow. Qian Chang also said.
The soldier choked on, "Wait for death!" he shouted as he looked up and turned his horse's head back.
"Wait, there's something here, bring it to Lord Teng!" Yudong shouted on the city tower, and then Zhong Youxing behind him dropped something.
The soldier saw a ball-like thing fall, reached out and grabbed it, and then looked at it again, it was actually a human head.
Although he had also seen blood on the battlefield, he was still shocked when he grabbed someone's head.
Although he didn't know this person, he didn't dare to throw it away, so he had to take it back.
When King Teng saw the head, it turned out to be a secret envoy sent by himself.
The two armies fought, and Fu Yuande dared to provoke so much.
He whipped his horsewhip in anger and ordered loudly, "Beat the drums and attack the city!"
With the order of King Teng, the sound of Shu military drums shook the sky.
On the city tower, the faces of the people who had just gone up to the city tower were tense, and some people's hands seemed to be still trembling.
"Don't be afraid, look behind us, the families in the city are still waiting for the good news that we have killed the enemy soldiers. Yudong said to the people around him.
"Yes, there's nothing to be afraid of. Zhao Quansheng patted a burly man on the side, "With your body, it's too little to kill eight." โ
"That is, I told my family that I would kill ten of them and avenge each of them. The big man nodded, clenching the knife in his hand.
"Remember, don't cut too early with a knife, just cut when you see someone!" Qian Chang and Zhong Youxing admonished as they walked.
The Shu army set up a ladder and climbed up the city wall.
Soon, the first one poked his head out of the battlements and tried to climb up.
"Silly big one, cut it quickly!"
The big man who said that he was going to kill ten people, heard Zhao Quansheng's shout, slashed down with a knife, and was splashed with the blood of the Shu army.
Warm blood spurted onto him, and he was stunned for a moment.
