Chapter 125: Regeneration of Misunderstanding
It has been a month since Li Xiaoyu arrived at the foot of this Hanging Weng Mountain, and the troops on both sides have maintained a brief peace as if they had made an appointment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Yin Ji was ordered to return to Beijing, but Li Xiaoyu stayed, and asked Yin Ji to bring back a letter to Shen Daoquan. While the two sides besieging and defending the city did not take the initiative to fight, trying their best to avoid conflicts, Shen Zhong's army began to grow vegetables around the station, and Li Xiaoyu did not know the situation in the city, but Li Ge's spies passed on all the situation, and every night Shen Zhong would go out to see the pigeons that flew out to report the news.
"Xiaoyu, are you really watching this group of people send them letters like this, don't we care?"
"Hmph, look, didn't you notice? In the past, there was only one in four or five days, but now it has become once a day, and now there must be a famine in Taiyuan City, and Li Ge is also starting to be anxious, otherwise this letter would not have been sent so frequently. Li Xiaoyu stood beside Shen Zhong and patted Shen Zhong on the shoulder.
"You coaxed Yin Ji away, when are you leaving?" Shen Zhong's words changed, which made Li Xiaoyu feel a little abrupt.
"I was going to leave a while ago, but your good second brother, desperately calculating me, let me come here to sacrifice the army, and sent Yinji's rigid sissy to look at me, I can't leave if I want to."
"Huh?" Li Xiaoyu suddenly turned around and looked at the Taiyuan City in the distance, the fire was soaring into the sky, and the thick gunpowder smoke was rushing high, which could be seen in Xuanweng Mountain
"What's wrong?" Seeing that a fire was actually burning in Taiyuan City, Shen Zhong's eyes were filled with bloodthirsty looks.
"There is an uprising, the rich in the city are not benevolent to the rich, and at this time they deliberately raise the price of food, and the poor are hungry and anxious, and there will naturally be a civil uprising, and people can have no gold, silver and jewelry, but they can't live without food and drink."
"Then why don't we take the opportunity to attack the city?"
"There you go!" Shen Zhong returned to the tent, put on his armor and rushed out.
The city was full of fire, the whole night was lit up, Di Zifu Shen Zhong was about to go on the march, all the troops were ready, and rushed to Taiyuan City along the firelight, the city was in chaos, and the horses' hooves outside the city were noisy, and the siege equipment began to gather continuously under the city, almost between the lightning and flint, the brigade began to attack.
Di Zifu directly led the army to attack from the main gate, and the soldiers in Taiyuan City were panicked and could only continue to throw stones and logs down the battlements of the city wall to block the strong attack of the imperial army.
"The first to kick the city will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold!" Di Zifu stood in front of the battle and shouted loudly, and the warriors were surging on the ground like ants, and the city kept throwing rolling stones, logs, and sparse bows and arrows, and almost in an instant, more than a hundred warriors fell from the wall.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid it won't work in this way, the sergeants are too dead and wounded." Di Zifu withdrew to Shen Zhong's side, also worried.
"What about artillery? Why didn't this gun fire a few shots? Shen Zhong dragged a partial general and asked.
"The city is high and strong, I'm afraid that artillery is useless." Di Zifu said helplessly.
The general trembled and said, "It's the princess, and the princess gave half of the gunpowder and saltpeter to General Yin." ”
"What?"
"Lord Wang, it's better for you to make a decision early, although there is a fire in the city, but with this little force, it is impossible for us to capture Taiyuan City, unless they take the initiative to fight!"
Shen Zhong hesitated, thinking about whether to attack or withdraw his troops, but saw a fire burning from his own camp, the fire was no less than the fire in the city, and the most helpless soldiers in the city saw that they were more confident in defending the city at the moment.
Li Ge stood on the city and said secretly, "God help me, brothers, when they retreat, let's kill them, this battle will be won!" ”
Shen Zhong's eyebrows jumped, and he shouted loudly, "It's not good, this must be the time when the Dayue Clan took advantage of our siege, the cavalry robbed the camp, the rear team became the front team, and the whole army retreated!" ”
The imperial army began to retreat, Li Ge was wearing dark yellow chain mail, carrying a spear, with a murderous intent on his face, and the robe behind him was still stained with blood, this blood was not his, nor the blood of the soldiers besieging the city, but the blood of the rioting people in the city. Although he is brave and good at fighting, after all, he is from a family, and he cannot tolerate the rebellion of these "untouchables", especially since these untouchables have to deal with these families in the city.
Originally, he thought that in today's rebellion in the city, Shen Zhong would definitely seize the opportunity to attack the city, but Shen Zhong still didn't seem to seize the opportunity.
"Shen Zhong, Shen Zhong, you can't seize this opportunity, I won't give you a chance in the future, now it seems that your defeat is decided, tonight I will take advantage of the chaos in your camp to attack your camp at night!" Li Ge pinched the note in his hand with a smile on his face, as if he had won the battle.
At this time, Shen Zhong and Di Zifu hurried back to the foot of Hanging Weng Mountain, but they saw Li Xiaoyu with a team of wounded soldiers burning weeds and wood, and several wild boars weighing almost two hundred catties were roasted on them, the smell was fragrant, and there were all kinds of meat and dishes around these wild boars, and the jar of wine was also placed not far away, Li Xiaoyu was wearing a beard and holding a spoon in his hand to cook a large pot of hot soup. Seeing Shen Zhong and his party coming back in a hurry, she laughed.
"Let's hurry up and eat, after eating a hot meal, let's shoot him back."
"Li Xiaoyu!" Shen Zhong's eyes were bloodshot, his eyes were red, like an angry bull, and when he walked in front of Li Xiaoyu, he had a mouth, and he saw that Li Xiaoyu's whole person was like a kite and half fell to the ground, she only felt dizzy and had difficulty breathing.
"You are so bold that you dare to do such a stupid thing, can you use such a big fire in your fire? Delayed the military plane, causing us to give up halfway, someone came to pull him down for me, and the military law dealt with it! ”
As soon as Shen Zhong finished speaking, a sharp voice that made people feel cold slowly came out of the crowd, "Yo, I didn't expect the wise and martial King Ande to beat women." "A man covered in blood, followed by seven or eight equally exhausted soldiers, all of whom were carrying one or two bloody human heads, and the one in front was dragging an eight-edged plum hammer, and the fierce and vicious appearance really seemed to have come out of the underworld.
"Yin Ji? Didn't you go back to Beijing to resume your life? ”
"Hmph, the princess told me, let me pretend to leave, and then come back to get rid of the traitors in the generals, these spies are hidden among these wounded soldiers, they rely on carrier pigeons to send messages, so I will take my people to help you clean up those traitors."
"And what does this fire mean?"
Li Xiaoyu's face was swollen high, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and his eyes didn't open, so he said in a daze, "That Li Ge will come to attack tonight, as long as he goes out of the city, he will.... That's it. After finishing speaking, Li Xiaoyu crooked his neck and lay on the ground, and the spoon in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
Yin Ji picked up Li Xiaoyu, who was knocked unconscious, and then pinched the orchid finger with great pity and said, "Hmph, thanks to the princess helping you so hard, I think you are a wolf." ”
Di Zifu also frowned slightly, and patted Shen Zhong's shoulder, "Lord Wang, this matter will be discussed later, let the soldiers eat quickly, and we will ambush Li Ge on both sides of Hanging Weng Mountain later, such a good opportunity Li Ge is so confident that people will definitely not miss it." ”
