Chapter 299: The Battle of White Mountain City (1)

"Don't worry, Master Fu, I will do my best to ensure everyone's safety." Li Ziyu solemnly promised.

Fu Yunzhang looked at Fu Chong and said, "Fu Chong, when you arrive at the Li family, you have to obey Miss Li's orders." I can only give you ten people, these ten people must cooperate with Miss Li's actions, and there must be no objections, remember? ”

At this moment, Fu Yunzhang exuded a kind of deterrence, and the scholarly spirit that he had relied on in disguise before was swept away, making people involuntarily surrender under his coercion.

"Yes! Remembered, minions! Fu Chong knelt on one knee and answered loudly.

"Madam, thank you for your hard work!" Fu Yunzhang looked at his wife, forcibly suppressed his reluctance, patted his wife's shoulders heavily, and said.

Mrs. Fu's eyes were moist, she stared at her husband tightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Husband, you promise me that you must live!" ”

Fu Yunzhang solemnly promised: "Okay, I promise you!" Be alive! ”

Fu Yunzhang told his children a few more words, and then asked Fu Chong to escort the five carriages in front and back out of the backyard of the county government and run quickly towards the south gate of Shiyan Town.

When Li Ziyu went out, he handed over the five grenades in his hand to Fu Yunzhang, and explained in detail how to use them, how powerful they were, and so on.

She just doesn't want people like Fu Yunzhang to die, and she doesn't want Fu Xiaoshuang and Fu Yingjie to lose their fathers, but she hopes that these five grenades can save his life at a critical moment.

At this time, Shiyan Town was full of people, and all kinds of shouts and children's cries were mixed together, making the whole town filled with a tense atmosphere on the eve of the war.

The people of the town, under the orderly organization of the county government and the young and middle-aged people in the town, are advancing towards the south gate.

A ten-man guard led by Li Ziyu, Bu Jiu, Fu Yingjie and Fu Chong. Walking on both sides of the line, he also joined the southbound group as he walked out the back door.

When he walked out of the south gate, Li Ziyu glanced north. I don't know what the situation is in Baishan City now

At this moment, Baishan City has just experienced a cruel life-and-death struggle.

Baishan City, which is the last barrier between the Daye Dynasty and the Liao State, does not count the border garrison, and has a permanent population of 50,000 or 60,000.

Although it is the last city of the Daye Dynasty, there has not been a large-scale war in recent years, so. The whole city is lined with all kinds of shops, and the economy is very prosperous.

Since the Liao army has been stationed in the territory, Ren Changqing, who is the supreme military commander guarding Baishan City. discussed with the prefect of Baishan City, Fang Zhan Yong, and the prefect Pei Haoyuan, and transferred the people in the city as soon as possible.

Because it involves the migration of tens of thousands of people, and the people in the city are used to living a comfortable life, they are very resistant to migrating to an unfamiliar environment.

But. There are also people with good conditions who know that the Liao soldiers in the north are strong and strong. The prospect of war was not optimistic, so I took my family to a relatively safe city early.

As soon as this part of the people took the lead, most of them panicked, so they also followed the trend and went to relatives and friends everywhere. In the end, some of the people who had nowhere to go hid in the mountains. This made Ren Changqing breathe a sigh of relief, and the pressure in his heart was reduced by half.

At this time, the twilight is dim. The remnant sun was like blood, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the tall and thick city wall on the north side of Baishan City. It seems to be appeasing the souls of the heroes who have just died defending the city.

Here, I have just experienced a thrilling fight. Since the Liao army almost succeeded in a sneak attack last night, this is the thirtieth siege of the Liao army.

The walls were littered with splattered blood, broken bows and arrows, swords and halberds, and the corpses of soldiers who had not had time to carry them down, and the smell of blood and burnt was everywhere.

Some soldiers and young men dressed in civilian clothes were busy running back and forth on the road to the city, cleaning up the battlefield and carrying away the bodies of their brothers.

Although everyone's face was tired, they showed high morale.

Not for anything else, just for the general to rush to the front line every time, take the lead, bravely kill the enemy, and take one as ten. The general's behavior stimulated everyone's bloody nature hidden in their bodies, and everyone fought bravely to kill the enemy, without any regard for personal safety.

Therefore, although the Liao army was like a rainbow and had an advantage in numbers, they waited for work and fought on a par with the other party.

At this moment, at the entrance of the battlements one person high, there stood a handsome man about forty years old, tall, heroic, with sharp eyes, and wearing a general's uniform.

This person was covered in stains, even the iron helmet on his head was stained dark red with blood, and the general's uniform, that is, the silver armor, could no longer be seen in its original color.

He exuded a breathtaking killing aura all over his body, and a pair of deep dark eyes were staring closely at the Liao army's garrison opposite.

He is Ren Changqing, the general of the Daye Dynasty Sanpin Zhaowu, and he is also Ren Xiaohang's uncle.

Now Ren Changqing is secretly observing the situation of the Liao army in the distance, thinking about the reason for the Liao army's sudden attack on the city.

The generalissimo of the Liao State this time is the great prince Yelu Hongzhen, who is stubborn, suspicious by nature, ruthless, and has also made great achievements in the art of war.

He has two useful military advisors around him, who give him advice and have a lot of power in the Liao State.

The second prince, Yelu Hongxian, is accustomed to doing superficial work, coaxing the old emperor Yelu Chuji to look at him differently, and he is very happy with the old emperor.

This time, Yelu Hongzhen received the handsome seal, but Yelu Hongxian was in charge of the grain and grass on the front line. Could it be that something is wrong within the Liao army?

The reason why the Liao army almost succeeded in a sneak attack this time was because the Liao army feinted during the day for a day and stopped in the evening.

The soldiers defending the city thought that they would definitely not attack the city again at night, so they all relaxed. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, the Liao army set up a cloud ladder to attack the city wall, killing the soldiers of the Daye Dynasty by surprise.

If it weren't for Ren Changqing and his people to inspect and discover the situation as usual, I'm afraid the Liao army would have attacked.

After the Liao army attacked the city, he had already sent the news to the capital in an expedited manner of 800 li, asking the imperial court to increase the army.

There was only one day before the Zhili defenders here, but no one dared to send troops without the imperial court's military talismans. From here to the capital, the fastest non-stop horseback riding is one day and one night, and the imperial court's military talisman to reach Zhili also has to be one day and one night, and Zhili is also one day and one night here.

In other words, as long as he held out for three days, reinforcements from the imperial court could arrive.

However, after 30 fierce battles to defend the city, not only did they lose a large number of soldiers, but also their weapons were also very badly damaged.

I'm afraid that the imperial court will not send reinforcements on time, and by that time, Baishan City will be broken, and he will become a sinner for the ages.

I don't want to spare this life, if it's gone, it's gone, for fear of affecting my parents and many brothers and children at home.

He now understands the reason why Ouyang Jingde would rather die unjustly than rebel, and it is really that the old and young in the family are holding it in the palm of the emperor's hand. With so many relatives, he probably never dreamed that the emperor would kill them all, right? The most ruthless emperor family, the emperor's trust is a double-edged sword at any time, and this trust may become a sharp weapon to kill you at any time, making you unguardable.
