Chapter 261 - Breaking the West and Devouring the Siege
No one asked Liu Changan to say anything anymore, because it was useless to say it.
In the absence of reinforcements, the only thing left is to surrender.
Liu Changan looked at the Shangguan army who had climbed half of the ladder, and waved his hand: "You all go to support the southwest section of the city wall!"
"Yes!"
The last thousand soldiers behind Liu Changan left, and so far there was not a single soldier in the West Devouring City who could fight again.
Liu Changan did not join the battle, climbed high and looked around, and gestured in which direction there was any danger that the soldiers did not see.
Because they had such a rehearsal before, the generals could understand Liu Changan's gestures, and the battle line was stable at the critical point on the verge of collapse.
Shi Qian has been paying close attention to the battle situation, everything Liu Changan has done when he ascends to the heights, even if he is a few miles away, he can still see it clearly, and beckoned behind him: "Bring ten heavy crossbows and follow this general!"
"Yes. ”
When the division swaggered out of the camp, Liu Changan immediately saw it, and even saw the ten heavy crossbows that needed more than ten soldiers to push, and his pupils shrank into thin needles in an instant.
"Big brother, come down!"
Not only Liu Changan can see it, but anyone who looks at the Shangguan army camp with a little gap can see the division cadres who have come over.
Ren Liangcai picked up a log and smashed it down, and hurriedly hid behind the city wall, dozens of arrows flew from the place where he had exposed before, and he turned his head and shouted to Liu Changan on the high platform.
Yu Jiashu, who was farther away, was full of anxiety, and when his mouth kept closing, he waved his arm vigorously.
"General Liu, come down quickly!"
Gong Gaoshuang was on the other side corresponding to Ren Liangcai, and there were relatively few Shangguan troops on his side, leading hundreds of soldiers to Liu Chang'an's side.
Because of the general's shouting, regardless of whether they could see Liu Changan before or not, the soldiers saw Liu Changan standing on a high place.
They didn't know where Liu Chang'an's ancestral home was, and they didn't even know Liu Changan's age, but they knew that this high-ranking general of Tiance had personally toasted them before, and called them brothers from the bottom of his heart!
Yang Jiajun may not be able to handle anything else, but the fiery brotherhood can make them a famous army in the entire Guangwu!
"General, come down quickly!"
"We will definitely be able to defend the West Devouring City!"
"Brother Liu!"
Liu Changan waved his hand at all the generals of the West Devouring City, ten heavy crossbows are terrifying, but-
There is nothing to do, Shi Qian doesn't want him to live even one breath longer, he has already led his subordinates to a mile outside the city wall at this time.
One mile, completely within the effective range of the heavy crossbow!
"From left to right, the first three heavy crossbows are aimed at the lower end of the high platform, the fourth to the sixth are aimed at the middle of the high platform, the seventh to the ninth are aimed at the upper end of the high platform, and the last heavy crossbow is aimed at Liu Changan's chest!"
"Yes!"
Seven soldiers rushed to pile up beside each heavy crossbow, tying ropes to secure them. On the crossbow, a soldier took out an arrow the thickness of an adult's arm, fastened it into the groove, and stuck the rope in the small groove at the lower end of the arrow.
Seven soldiers pressed on their own stakes, and five of them pulled back with the ropes that held the arrows.
At first they walked as usual, but soon they began to have green tendons on their arms, and then fine beads of sweat oozed from their faces, and their feet stopped moving.
Shi Qian stood behind the heavy crossbow and looked at Liu Changan on the high platform, and the hatred in his eyes gathered more and more.
In his heart, part of the reason why he took this path was because of Liu Changan!
As for whether he regretted taking this road in the dead of night, no one knows.
But the more you know about some people and some things, the more fear you have.
"Put!"
Fifty soldiers let go at the same time, and only the sound of huo and whirring was heard.
"Big brother!"
"Big brother!"
"General Liu!"
Three hoarse shouts came far from the city walls.
A mile away is still a moment for a person to walk, but when a heavy crossbow arrow flies, it only takes one or two breaths!
In everyone's eyes, the ten crossbows that flew away formed a net, completely covering Liu Changan on the high platform, and he couldn't escape even if he wanted to escape at this time.
But if he wanted to escape, would he still be on it now?
Boom –
Ten heavy arrows hit the high platform together, and the high platform failed to hold even a moment, and directly scattered into a ball.
"Big brother!"
"Big brother!"
"General Liu!"
Shi Qian smiled: "It's a bit cheap for you to let you die like this!
The chill in Shi Qian's eyes contrasted too much with the frozen smile, which seemed very funny, and he became a clown.
After the broken wood fell, there was a figure hanging on the high platform with one arm on the high platform, and one hand was still holding a long knife, was that not Liu Changan or who?!
Before the soldiers on the high platform had time to cheer, Liu Changan swung his sword forward, and a roar that reached the limit of his voice spread throughout both ends of the city wall: "Open the city gate! Kill! The general's reinforcements have arrived!"
The soldiers on the city wall felt that their emotions had no time to change with the matter, and they were still a little stunned when they heard Liu Changan's shouts, and a few shouts came out again.
"All the soldiers will follow me out of the city to kill the enemy!"
"Warriors of Tiance, the general is here!
"Yang Jiajun, kill with me!"
After Ren Liangcai, Yu Jiashu and Gong Gaoshuang shouted loudly, they took the lead and ran down the city tower.
The soldiers still didn't understand what was going on, but it didn't stop them from throwing down the stones and wood in their hands and running down the walls.
The furious Shi Qian had already climbed onto the heavy crossbow, and was pulling away the heavy crossbow and shooting Liu Changan, who had absolutely no chance to dodge again.
Liu Chang'an's roar made him tremble, and his two hands were uncontrollably released, and the arrow, which had only pulled a few steps away, shot out and fell to the ground.
"How is that possible?!"
No one could answer his doubts, for there was a cry of murder that shook the heavens and the earth from the woods less than fifty feet behind him.
"General Shenwu's personal guards are here!"
"Brother of the West Devouring City, we are here!"
"Brothers, kill!"
The Shangguan army besieging the city roared at Liu Chang'an on the city wall, and when the defenders of the West Devouring City really left the city wall, they felt that something was wrong, and the smart people had already retreated from the front line.
As soon as there was a roar from the rear, and then I saw that the gate of the West Devouring City had been opened, I didn't hesitate for a moment, threw away my weapon and ran away.
"Tiance's reinforcements have arrived, run!"
"We are surrounded, and if we don't run, we will die!"
"Run!"
When the first two shouts came from behind him, he turned on his horse again and ran away where there was no sound.
......
In the west of the city lord's mansion, thousands of people gathered in an open-air super large courtyard.
The yard was not supposed to be that wide, and there were planks around it that had been recently demolished.
At the middle table, there were Luo Daguang, Ergou, Liu Changan, Long Xun, Ren Liangcai, Yu Jiashu, Gong Gaoshuang and six men with faces.
They range in age from their teens to their forties, and they are the brightest stars of the battle!
The six of them didn't know how many heads of Shangguan soldiers they had to kill before they had the opportunity to sit here, and their courage was undoubtedly outstanding, but at this time, the bodies of the six people were a little stiff, and they sat up straight, which showed that they were very nervous.
Luo Daguang and Ergou didn't put any shelves, picked up the wine jug and poured all the wine glasses on the table full of wine, and then picked up the wine glasses first.
Liu Changan and the others followed suit, and the generals at the other tables also hurriedly picked up the wine glasses.
Their eyes at the middle table were full of longing, and when they looked at the six people again, they were so envious.
"We won't say anything superfluous, everything the brothers have done, we will truthfully tell Oi Jun, and we will definitely not treat the brothers badly!"
"Thank you, General Luo!"
They talked a lot, a lot of things, and the generals kept being carried away in between, and their drinking was really bad.
By the time the stars and the moon were contending, only Luo Daguang, Ergou, Liu Changan, Long Xun, Ren Liangcai, Yu Jiashu and Gong Gaoshuang were left in the house on the left side of the courtyard.
There was sobering tea on the table, and a few people drank a few sips of sobering tea first, Luo Daguang got up and hugged Gong Gaoshuang: "Nanhe's righteous move, we will never forget it!"
Gong Gaoshuang, as Pang Huiying's henchman, knows his temperament very well, Pang Huiying attaches so much importance to Tiance, he definitely doesn't dare to despise it, so he hurriedly got up: "General Luo is polite, Tiance and my Nanhe are an alliance, and this move is as it should be." ”
"Hahaha, the general has always told us earlier that there are often people who fall into the well, but there are few people who send charcoal in the snow. He also admonished us that those who fell into the well and those who gave charcoal in the snow should remember that we should repay as many stones as he threw when we were in trouble, and that those who gave charcoal in the snow should repay him even if he gave up his life. ”
"General Shenwu is very human. ”
"Hahaha—would we have survived until now? By the way, where is the general now?"
In a way, Long Xun is the happiest person to see Luo Daguang and Ergou in Xiyu City, and there is no one.
The first reason is naturally to learn the news that Yang Fengqing is "in Tiance", and the second is that Luo Daguang and Ergou are very familiar with him.
"The general has something to do in Shangcho City, don't worry, the general will defeat the enemy in one move soon!"
"Then you can not worry, I think that the 120,000 Cangfeng thieves were slaughtered by 60,000 of us in a burst of slaughter, and the official army and the two forces that were kneaded by us at will are nothing. ”
Everyone chatted for a while, but Liu Changan didn't talk much in the middle, and Luo Daguang and Ergou didn't go out of their way to talk to him.
After everyone went back to rest, Luo Daguang and Liu Changan walked to a quiet place, Liu Changan looked up at the full moon: "Where is the general now?"
"Kotogawa. ”
"Kotogawa, are you going to see someone from the Hokamiya family?"
"The general's grandmother passed away not long ago, but she has not yet mourned, and the adults want to send her one last ride. All these decisions were made on the premise that the general did not know the situation in Tiance. ”
"Don't worry, I understand. I just felt ashamed of the trust I placed in the general, and I was a little scared to see him at this time. ”
"You probably know the general better than we do, and it's too hypocritical to say that. Alas—it's just Ma Yi, they—"
"Alas—go back, until the general returns, Tiance will at least maintain the current appearance. ”
"Hmm. ”
......
Shangcho City, the courtyard where Xia Bing'er and Yuhe are located.
Qiu Hong was unkempt and unkempt, and the robe he was wearing had some small holes, which should have been burned by the spark sputter. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked out of the room, and Gu Xuzhang, who was fidgeting in the courtyard, immediately greeted him.
"How's it going? Is it better?"
Qiu Hongshen shook his head lightly, sighed, squatted next to the stove between the medicinal herbs piled up in the courtyard, and looked at the orange flames: "There is always something missing, but I just can't find that point!"
Speaking of the back, Qiu Hongshen suddenly exploded emotionally, and his hands were inserted into his unkempt hair and torn hard.
"Pharmacist Qiu, you've done your best, I know. As long as he can hold out until Yang Fengqing comes back, he will definitely have a way!"
Gu Xuzhang, who has been comforted by others for so many days, is strange to comfort others in turn.
