When Empress Dowager Li was about to die, the Suzhou officers and soldiers in the sky and on the ground and the people were still telling and insulting.

This time, when it came to the matter of the Empress Dowager Li and several face-to-face battles against the three lilies, the Empress Dowager Li listened to it in her ears, and she covered her chest with anger and was a little out of breath.

"Someone, someone."

Empress Dowager Li shouted a few times, and several maids came over tremblingly.

Asked the maid to serve her and dress up, Empress Dowager Li picked up the strong bow hanging in the camp tent and turned around and went out, she asked the attendant to lead the horse, turned over and said loudly: "Integrate the soldiers and horses for me, I will attack Yangcheng immediately." ”

Empress Dowager Li spoke, and it didn't take long for a horse to be integrated, followed by infantry, and soldiers pulled trebuchets, logs, ladders and other siege tools.

When the Xidi people were busy, Suzhou also publicized a lot of the romance of the Xidi civil and military ministers, and there were also some wives or concubines in the minister's back house who stole people, and there were the general's daughters who eloped with people and the like, in short, the Xidi people were barbarians, they didn't understand etiquette, and the things they did couldn't get on the table.

Suzhou scolded non-stop, and many Xidi people who were not very good in psychology were flushed after hearing this, and they didn't even have the heart to fight.

Finally, in the scolding of the Suzhou officers and soldiers, the soldiers and horses were integrated, and the Empress Dowager Li gave the order to take the thousands of horses out together, and the ground trembled.

However, not long after he rode out, he heard a whooshing sound in the air, and then an arrow plunged straight into the head of one of the pioneer officers in front of him.

The vanguard officer fell to his head and was no longer breathing.

"Your Excellency......" The cavalry under his command all dismounted and went to inspect it, and when they saw the vanguard officer lying dead on the ground with an arrow stuck in his head, many of the cavalrymen were frightened, and even more timid screamed and turned and ran.

It's just that these people didn't have to run far before they were shot and killed.

Empress Dowager Li held a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, and said sharply: "If there are any more people who dare to escape from the battle, there will be no forgiveness." ”

Marshal Huyan waved his hand: "Soldiers." Yangcheng is close at hand, I passed down the will on the order of the Queen Mother, as long as you take Yangcheng, you will be the master of Yangcheng, you will choose the beautiful women and girls, and you will grab the gold, silver and jewelry of Yangcheng, and there will be no prohibition within three days. Whatever you want. ”

Huyan's handsome hand is really beautiful. A few words of kung fu aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and their faces were full of excitement, and their eyes were almost green: "The Queen Mother is wise." The Queen Mother is wise. ”

Empress Dowager Li said coldly: "Da Zhou dares to despise and bully me so much, as my people, shouldn't you help me teach them a good lesson, and pass on my order." Whoever captures the prefect of Yangcheng will be rewarded with 100,000 gold. Whoever cuts off the head will be rewarded with 10,000 gold, and whoever captures the garrison will be rewarded with 80,000 gold. Those who cut off the heads of the garrison will be rewarded with 8,000 gold, and more than 100 soldiers of the people of Yangcheng will be killed. Appreciate the pattern of a thousand taels of silver, more than a thousand people. Reward 10,000 taels ......"

"Long live the Queen Mother...... "Long live the Xidi soldiers on the mountain, and the fighting spirit is high.

Empress Dowager Li waved her hand: "Okay, there are your enemies standing on the city wall, and they are also your silver, and if there is a seed, go and kill them in exchange for my reward." ”

As soon as Empress Dowager Li finished speaking, the thousands of horsemen galloped on horseback, and the infantry followed.

With a whoosh, another arrow shot down in the air, this time, not very accurately, just shooting a soldier.

Whoosh, whoosh, a few arrows shot down in succession, or shot at the soldiers, or shot at some small leaders, and it didn't take much effort, and many people died on Sidi's side.

Some people retreat when they see this, but some people want to make contributions and rush forward desperately.

It didn't take much effort, and Yangcheng was surrounded by the Sidi people, but seeing that the black pressure below was full of people and horses, and then some people set up ladders to climb the city, and some people set up trebuchets to throw stones into the city.

Countless people appeared on the city wall that was originally dark and there were few people in an instant, these people were all dressed in black, holding various weapons in their hands, because it was dark, and they couldn't see their faces clearly.

When Sidi threw a boulder at him, they all crouched down and dodged, and when the boulder passed, he took up the oil pot and poured it down the wall.

Some of the Sidi, who were climbing the ladder and were about to climb the city wall, were poured a pot of hot oil on their heads, and they fell from the high ladder with screams, and fell to the ground or died, or were hit by the stones below and fell out of the ground, and some were almost broken into meatloaf.

For a while, the hellish battlefield of this Shura was filled with an indescribable smell, including the smell of blood, the smell of burnt meat, and the smell of feces and urine, which made people feel sick to smell and change color.

Gradually, the east was shining, the sun was eternal and unchanging from the east to poke out a red smiling face, seeing that the blood in that place stained the green grass red, the dead corpses piled up under the walls of Yangcheng stared at the dead but unchanged smiling faces, slowly revealing the whole face, looking down on the mortals on this land, the sun was warm, but it made people's hearts cold.

Empress Dowager Li sat on the horse from afar, and when the day was bright, she shouted extremely strictly: "Attack the city, transport all the trebuchets over, I don't believe that I can't break this Yang City." ”

It didn't take much effort, and many trebuchets were transported, each of which was loaded with boulders and thrown into the city without sleep.

Qi Jing stood on the city wall, his hand tightly pinched the green brick on the wall, because the strength was too great, his fingertips had already pinched into the green brick, but he didn't realize it.

Listening to the screams of the people who were hit by the boulders under the city wall, and seeing some fallen Great Zhou soldiers on the city wall, Qi Jing's eyes gradually turned red, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and he gritted his teeth and said sharply: "Rolling wood, hot oil, throwing stones." ”

With a whoosh, the huge stone fell down in the air, Qi Jing's head tilted to dodge, and when the stone landed, he flashed his hand and stretched out his hand to hold up the boulder, shouted, and threw the stone down the city wall with all his strength.

The boulder was thrown down, but Qi Jing's arm was trembling slightly, he took a deep breath and tried to suppress the pain of broken bones, gritted his teeth and went to discuss with Yu Long how to arrange the city defense.

Chang'an City

Qi Laoniu looked at Liu Ming, a small official of the Ministry of Works, who was standing in front of him, and his old face was full of anger: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Liu Ming's face was full of embarrassment, and he was a little embarrassed, and laughed dryly: "Don't be angry, this is not a small meaning, it is completely confessed from above, called, it is said that there is always a parking place outside the garden, your land is just right, no, you are the father of the champion father, the most loyal and patriotic, want to come, and be willing to contribute that piece of land to make it convenient for everyone." ”

Qi Laoniu was even more angry when he heard this, pointed at Liu Ming and scolded: "Let your mother's fart, what do you mean to make it convenient for everyone?" When you were an old man, you didn't know anything, when you built the garden, there was a place to park the carriage on all sides, and now where do you need to stay, it is clear that you see that my Qi family is now far away from the sky, and wants to bully us These two old things, Liu Ming, when my son was in the Ministry of Industry, I treated you well, my son was in the Ministry of Industry for a few months, how many good things I planned for you, your mother-in-law gave birth to a child without brown sugar or my son found a way to find it for you, and saw that you worked hard, and gave you an extra month of silver, It's not a little bit to take care of you, I didn't think that the front foot I just left, the back foot you white-eyed wolf want to bite my Qi family, I will tell you today, do your blue sky daydream. ”

Qi Laoniu had just finished scolding, Qi Gu, who had been listening in the house, came out a few steps, his face was pale and white, and he pinched his waist and pointed at Liu Ming and scolded: "Sure enough, it is a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs, my son is a dog, and he teases the meat from time to time every day, and the dog still has to remember my son's kindness, and he can also wag his tail to make us happy a few times, how many good things are fed to your mouth, and you ****** just turn your head and bite us, it's just not as good as livestock." ”

The old couple scolded this time, making Liu Mingzhen's face flush, and he hurriedly saluted: "If you want to scold, the second elder will scold, anyway, I just bear it, I can't help it, these words are now said by Lord Yu, a member of the Ministry of Labor, and today is also forced by Lord Yu, I also know that I am not authentic, but I am a small official who wants to support my family, what can I do." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Ming felt more and more that he was not a thing, gritted his teeth, knelt on the ground and gave Qi Laoniu a few heads: "Old lady, you will forgive your sins for my involuntary sake, I ...... I got the word on and I went first. ”

Liu Ming got up, and the wolf bèi left.

Out of the gate of the Qi family, Liu Ming felt quite uncomfortable in his heart, as if something was blocked in his throat, he couldn't swallow and spit out, and his chest hurt.

Thinking of Yu Qi's face when he forced him to come to Qi's house, Liu Ming was disgusted: "Phew, what is it, forcing you Lao Tzu to be a villain, being scolded as a white-eyed wolf, you also know that you are not authentic, surnamed Yu, Lao Tzu and you are incompatible." ”

He was scolding here, when he heard a man ask him, "Who are you scolding, I see that you have a bad face, are you being bullied?" ”

Liu Ming turned his head and looked over, and saw a big man in purple clothes standing not far away, and hurriedly laughed: "I didn't scold anyone, I didn't scold anyone, you heard it wrong." ”

"Oh?" The old man raised his eyebrows: "Did you hear it wrong?" No, although I'm old, I'm not dizzy, and I'm still listening to what you say about your surname Yu. ”

While speaking, the eldest man looked at Liu Ming: "You are wearing the official uniform of the Ministry of Industry, you are from the Ministry of Industry, right?" The official surnamed Yu of the Ministry of Industry is only Yu Yuanwailang, who has just taken office, what, why did he treat you, making you so angry. ”

Liu Ming was a little frightened when he heard this: "You, who are you from the Yu family?" ”

The old man smiled and shook his head: "I have nothing to do with the Yu family, I just happened to hear you scold you when I came here, and I was just curious to ask." ”

Liu Ming was relieved at this time, he was holding back the fire in his heart, seeing that this old man who was dressed like he was from a rich background still had the heart to talk to him, he immediately poured bitter water: "Isn't it just to scold the surnamed Yu, this kid is really not a thing, he supports us like a dog, he is good, he is corrupt and perverts the law to damage the public and private interests, and he can do anything. ”

The eldest lord nodded again: "You are Yu Qi's subordinate, do you know how the garden was built?" Come, let's go to the front and talk about it. (To be continued.) )
