Chapter Ninety-Two: Yongzhou
Screaming all over the sky. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
A pot of boiling hot oil poured down from the city wall and poured on the besieging Jiaozhi soldiers, causing a terrible wail, and before they could make the next reaction, the torches and fire primers had already fallen, and the open flame and the oil touched, and the stench of burnt meat soon filled the sky, and the flames were burning on the bodies of the Jiaozhi soldiers.
The weather was too hot, and the first batch of border barbarians who climbed on the ladder outside the city wall only wore a layer of armor made of bamboo paulownia oil.
The flames spread wildly, and the ground was full of rolling figures, trying to crush the flames on their bodies with dirt, and beside them, the wooden ladder was quickly burned to char.
Before the cochin soldiers who were a little further away had time to retreat, a dense cluster of arrows had already been fired from the city wall. The height of the city wall, which looks like a cloud when attacking upward, is actually only three or four feet, and the enemy strikers who rushed from the moat to the city wall only had a blink of an eye from hearing the sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air to the arrow in front of them, and they didn't even have time to turn sideways.
A corpse.
The moat to the city wall formed a blank circle.
Cochin's siege this time was clearly a failure again.
In the scorching summer, as soon as the attacking team retreated, the defenders on the Yongzhou city wall breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Ziming, who was guarding the city wall, felt that his whole body had lost his strength, and his hands were almost unable to move because of the long time he had drawn the bow, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks, panting violently, not caring to wipe the stinky sweat all over his body.
Once relaxed, the heat and the stench of corpses began to be unbearable.
He is the third son of Su Ling, the governor of Yongzhou, and now he is like an ordinary soldier, standing at the head of the wall to guard the city.
Next to him are his friends, who usually study hard side by side, hoping to end up together in the next subject. The other party gasped and scolded: "Damn, it's no longer playing!" ”
Su Ziming opened his mouth and replied, "What, are you afraid?" ”
The classmate said loudly: "You Su family is not afraid of more than 30 people, I am just a bare one, afraid of a fart!" Left and right but one death! Kill one to return to the capital, kill two even if you add to the head, now Lao Tzu has enough capital. ”
Originally, Sven's temperament also began to speak foul language.
As soon as the words were finished, thunderous cheers rang out from the city walls.
Su Ziming's blood surged up, and suddenly a force suddenly appeared in his hand, he shouted loudly, and patted his classmate's shoulder hard.
But what I can't suppress in my heart is a deep uneasiness.
The thieves suffered heavy casualties, but Yongzhou was not far behind.
Yongzhou has not many guards, and more than half of them have been transferred by Guizhou, in fact, they are all state soldiers and native soldiers, and there is no forbidden army in the formation, it is such a group of people who have resisted for so long.
Yongzhou city guard to the present, the original 3,000 native soldiers have already been killed and wounded more than half, most of the guards on the city wall are newly recruited people in the city, originally with a pen, a hoe, an abacus, as long as there is a strength, almost all have joined the army. Iron pots, hoes, and sickles from the people of the city were sent to make weapons.
originally thought that as long as they held for a month, Guizhou would be able to have a large number of reinforcements come to help, but now it has been month after month, and there is still no shadow of reinforcements.
He was in a state of distraction when he suddenly heard a uniform call from the city.
"What's wrong?" He frightened a spirit.
The classmate turned his head and laughed at him, "How long has it been since you went down to take a break?" In order to prevent spies from stealing the city gate, Su Huangcheng ordered people to block the city gate with big stones. ”
Su Ling's official is the envoy of the imperial city, and the governor of Yongzhou is his dispatch.
Since Su Ling arrived in Yongzhou, he has bowed to the people and has already won the respect of the local people, and Yongzhou is called Su Huangcheng. The thieves invaded, Su Ling had already found out the news, and made great preparations up and down, and when the army besieged the city, he summoned the capable people in the state, divided the jurisdiction, and assigned matters, it can be said that if there was no Su Ling's coordination, Yongzhou City would never be able to hold it for so long.
Su Zi nodded clearly.
A few days ago, my father also killed Colonel Zhai Ji who was preparing to abscond in public, Yongzhou has held on to this day, there must be many people who are shaken, at this moment, as long as one person is released, the city will be overturned.
The news of the Jiaozhi thieves burning and killing and plundering in Qinzhou and Lianzhou has already spread throughout the city, once Yongzhou falls, no one can escape the hands of thieves, and now those who are still bent on stealing out of the city will have bad intentions.
He couldn't help but look in the direction of Guizhou.
Guangnan fell so quickly, and Liu Yi, the governor of Guizhou, contributed a lot.
If it weren't for Liu Yi's ban on the city, and his fanfare training of the natives and sailors, which caused those cave masters in Guangyuan Prefecture to panic and have no way out, how could they all be on the side of the thieves.
And now, the urgent letter sent to Guizhou has been sent out early, for such a long time, and it is in a hurry, even if you go to the capital, you can make two round-trips, but Guizhou's reinforcements are still no news.
Li Changjie, the general of the thieves, crossed the sea, and his deputy Zong Kang, who attacked by land, was a horn of each other, known as an army of 100,000, even if it was mixed with water, there must be 30,000 or 20,000 elites, and there were more than 1,000 soldiers in Yongzhou City, how long could they hold it!
When will the reinforcements from Guizhou arrive!
He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and said loudly: "When the reinforcements arrive, these thieves will never return!" ”
In Guizhou City, the person who reported it shouted softly outside Tian Chu's room: "Du Wei, Zhou Shi reads and asks to see." ”
The two people who were talking in the room were stunned.
Tian Chu frowned, and said without hesitation: "Say that I have rested, and I will talk about it tomorrow." ”
The man outside answered and retreated.
After interrupting this, the cold atmosphere in the room warmed up slightly, Shen Hu looked at the closed door with some disgust, and said in an unhappy tone: "What waiter?" ”
Tian Chu knew that he was a little unhappy with these people related to the royal family, and replied indifferently: "The nephew of the Lord Protector." ”
Shen Hu's expression eased slightly, and he said: "The Protector Mansion is full of talents and righteousness, but I haven't heard that this nephew has any potential." ”
Tian Chu was originally in a solemn mood, but when he heard him say this, he couldn't help but reply, "Don't bow your head and despise the boy, he is still young and can't see anything." ”
Shen Hu pursed his lips and was about to say something, when suddenly there was a knock at the door.
Tian Chu frowned and looked at the door, but he never heard the sound of the announcement outside.
The two glanced at each other, Shen Hu subconsciously touched the dagger in his sleeve, Tian Chu instantly held the sword on his waist, and the two of them quietly bent their waists and were about to go to the door.
At this moment, a male voice said in a low voice outside the door: "Tian Duwei, I am Zhou Yanzhi of the Protector Mansion, and I have something important to see!" ”
