Chapter 96: Please enter the urn
The hour has come, it is early in the morning, but the sky is still gloomy, after the rain at the end of last month, the sky is beautiful, and it has been sunny for a few days.
It's just that when spring comes, rain is the most seasonal. This dark cloud is heavy on people's hearts, and it is inevitable to see that today's rain is unavoidable, but I don't know when.
The three people in the distance were in front of everyone in a blink of an eye. The first person, who was called the king of Yelu County by Li Yuanhao, was not Yelu Zongzheng, the king of Zhongshan County of Liao.
Seeing Li Yuanhao's pretentious enthusiasm, he also showed a faint smile on his face, hugged Li Yuanhao, and said: "Brother Xiao sincerely invites, there is no reason." After speaking, he turned his head and bowed slightly to Zhao Xian.
Yelu Zongzheng followed by a person, nearly fifty years old, burly, strange appearance, at a glance is a military general, he said loudly: "Prince Yuanhao is polite, the old man heard that there is such a battle, and he is suddenly curious, and he will come to make a kick today, the prince will not be surprised, right?" ”
"Hahaha! General Wang can come, Xiao Wang can't ask for it, if he can get the general's guidance, won't Xiao Wang earn? Li Yuanhao said with a smile.
This General Wang is the Taibao of the Great Song Dynasty, and the current Privy Council member Wang Deyong was originally a military general, and he is most interested in the battle of attack and defense.
Li Yuanhao looked at the last person, it was a young monk, his face was still full of smiles, he clasped his palms together and saluted the monk, turned his head to look at Zhao Xian, and asked, "......Who is this master?"
Zhao Xian with respect on her face, introduced: "This is the youngest virtuous monk in Daxiangguo Temple, the master of Puzhao, the master is a master of the world, it is said that today's saints often go to the master to ask for Buddhism. ”
The young monk bowed his head and clasped his palms, shouted the Buddha's name, and said slowly: "The poor monk is entrusted by others, and he will be loyal to others." ”
Xixia was originally a believer in Buddhism, so Li Yuanhao also treated the monks with great respect, and then saw that Puzhao was so young that he was a virtuous monk, and he must be a person with spiritual roots, so he was busy arranging a chair to invite him to sit.
Pu Zhao shook his head, just sat cross-legged on the ground, his face calm as usual.
It's not surprising that Yelu Zongzheng was invited, after all, he had crossed paths with Zhao Xian, but how did Wang Deyong and Puzhao get invited? The two have repeatedly said that they are entrusted by others, who is so capable that they can support these two?
Li Yuanhao looked at Zhao Xian again, and felt that the secrets and abilities hidden in this person were rare in his life.
In fact, where did he know that Zhao Xian was doing things for Zhao Zhen, and in the Great Song Dynasty, who was more capable than the current emperor? And which other honorable person is the emperor's please don't move?
Zhao Xian saw that everyone had arrived, and then looked at the sky, remembering that she had asked Qin Tian to supervise today's weather yesterday, and the victory she arranged still had to rely on God's help, and now that she counted the hours, it was time to start.
Zhao Xian asked, "Prince, are you ready?" If it's good, then it's good to go. ”
Li Yuanhao had already planned to do so, but it was only because Zhao Xian was procrastinating that he waited until now. Now when asked how to be unwilling, he nodded and said, "You can." ”
The two clenched their fists and returned to their respective formations, and the people who had been invited to adjudicate and score had also flashed to the side, making way for the two sides to fight.
At this time, on the tallest tree in the forest, there was a man sitting steadily, hidden behind dense branches and leaves, quietly looking inside and outside the ruined city.
At that moment, a cannon rang out, and the offensive and defensive battle between the two sides officially began.
On the side of the Xia Kingdom in red armor, the queue was neat and murderous, and the commander Li Yuanhao and the general Sunuer sat upright on their horses and stood at the back of the team.
Li Yuanhao once sent people to explore the interior of the city, and there was nothing unusual, so as soon as he came up, he ordered a strong attack.
When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!
And Li Yuanhao believes that they are the brave!
Yelu Zongzheng saw that although there were only thirty people in the Red Fang team, these people were Li Yuanhao's guards, and they had never been less in daily drills, and they had also accompanied Li Yuanhao to fight on the battlefield many times.
Li Yuanhao's team was divided into three columns, and each team was small in number. Because it was a siege, they were all infantry, and the first column was armed with rattan cards, the second column was armed with spears, and the third column was armed with broadswords.
Two more people guarded the banner, and a few more carried the planks and quickly carried them to the river.
This is a small river, which can be crossed completely, but Li Yuanhao doesn't want to wet his armor as soon as he comes up, and then he will be like a water dog, extinguishing his majesty.
After setting up the temporary bridge, those people carried the siege ladder again, and under the cover of a few soldiers with rattan cards, they quickly ran to the front of the east city, skillfully set up the siege ladder on the city wall, and quickly stood against the wall, just waiting for the queue to come up.
However, there was no rain of arrows on the tower, but they were able to set up the ladders without any success.
Looking up, there were only two or three people on the east tower looking at them idly, talking and laughing, without any other movements.
Strange, this is very different from what I expected, huh? These soldiers were secretly strange in their hearts, but they did not dare to say much, after all, they only had to obey the general's orders.
Li Yuanhao saw this scene not far away, and he didn't say anything, but he muttered to himself in his heart, he couldn't tell what Zhao Xian was going to do, and he raised his vigilance for a while.
After a while, Li Yuanhao and the others came to the bottom of the east city wall, but they still did not encounter any counterattack from the other party.
Li Yuanhao couldn't eat for a while, did he want to go up the siege ladder to enter, or wait and see? Go up, there is no one on this city tower, I am afraid that Zhao Xian will secretly use tricks; If you continue to wait and see, you will lose your fighting spirit.
Here, when Sunuer saw that his boss was thinking left and right, he hurriedly turned around and said, "Prince, you have arrived at the city, and you will go up the ladder to attack the city in one go, right?" We just have to be careful! ”
Li Yuanhao listened to what Su Nuer said reasonably, nodded and said: "General Su is right, so let's attack!" ”
Sunuer waved his hand and shouted, "You guys follow me up the ladder to attack the city!" ”
There was the one who beat the drum, and he was busy beating the war drum to encourage him.
The soldiers under his command were in high spirits, and the three columns of soldiers immediately changed their formation, mixed up, and each person with a rattan card was followed by two people with weapons, and the three teams of people climbed up cautiously.
Because the wall was only 5 meters high, it didn't take long for half of the people to go up.
At this time, only a few gongs sounded in the city, and the east gate slowly opened, and there was a person standing in the door, giggling and saying: "Why does the prince have to climb the wall hard, why don't you let me open the door to welcome guests?" ”
Li Yuanhao fixed his eyes and saw that Zhao Xian was standing alone in the door, looking at him with a smile.
"Please enter the urn?" Li Yuanhao almost vomited blood in anger, when he really hadn't read the book of soldiers? This man simply underestimated him.
As the saying goes, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger!" Li Yuanhao is well versed in the way of using soldiers, he knows the way, if he stops at this time, he is afraid that his morale will be lowered. It's better to enter the city generously and give the other party a head-on blow!
Thinking of this, Li Yuanhao suddenly became arrogant, and immediately ordered all the people on the city wall to come down immediately, reorganize the team, change the rear team into the front team, and enter the city at full speed.
