Chapter 287: Siege
Xiangjun had a sad look on his face, and turned his head to look at Lu Wanwan again, her breathing was weak, and she did not have a trace of vitality.
The doctor sighed slightly, didn't dare to stay long, comforted a few words, and went out to prepare the decoction.
"Girl, what now? What if the girl doesn't wake up? The little maid standing on the side asked with some concern.
The room was filled with a strong and unpleasant smell of medicine, and the window was opened, and the cold wind squeezed in from the outside in the dark night. Xiangjun got up and covered the window, and sat back on the couch, but he didn't know what to do, and after thinking for a while, he slowly shook his head and said: "People like her won't die so easily, and wait, every day the soup is poured out, as long as people are alive, there is hope." ”
And Meng Feiyang, who was hundreds of miles away, didn't know Lu Wanwan's uncertain life and death at the moment, his army had surrounded the capital for three whole days.
There are not many garrisons in the capital, only 60,000 people, and Meng Feiyang led 200,000 soldiers and horses to attack, the number of the two sides is very different, the capital is familiar to Meng Feiyang, and he knows where the weak points are, but the city wall of the capital is high and strong, and Li Yan occupies the geographical advantage, so he can only hold out.
Meng Feiyang didn't plan to attack,...... The capital is like his own home, where he grew up, and where the Li family is founded, he doesn't want to make corpses all over the field and in ruins.
Meng Feiyang only sent a few deputy generals, each leading hundreds of cavalry, riding horses and raising flags outside the city to run back and forth, dusting for miles and dust! Then he ordered people to continue to shoot persuasion letters to the city gate, stating that the 200,000 army was pressed against the border, and the capital was broken in an instant. He is the orthodoxy of the Li family, he just takes back the foundation, and he will never do anything to the people in the city!
All those who surrender ...... will be placed in good places.
Meng Feiyang promised to Lu Wanwan that he would never kill innocent people indiscriminately.
This move made the hearts of the people in the capital shake.
Meng Feiyang looked at it coldly, "Today's noon is the last hour." ”
Meng Feiyang said that, then turned the horse's head and glanced at the three thousand elite armor soldiers behind him. These 3,000 men were the most elite soldiers and horses he had trained. Not only are they all physically strong, but they also pick out the partial generals, adjutant generals, lieutenants, as well as large and small commanders, centurions, even chiefs, and captains! Each one is experienced and experienced. Has a strong ability to execute.
And the leader was Li Xiao who was in Qicheng at the beginning. He still had a straight face. It's like killing a god. In this earth-shattering environment of war drums, there is a sense of blood boiling all over the body.
The sun was rising, and it was not warm. But bright.
Meng Feiyang picked up his gun and rode his horse, circled around with skilled horse skills, rushed forward for a distance, and shouted loudly: "Li Yan, do you descend or not?!" ”
In fact, he didn't wait for Li Yan to really surrender, all the actions and shouts in the past three days were used to shake the hearts of the soldiers in the city......
Li Yan has been defending the city, making a turtle with a shrunken head, Meng Feiyang and constantly shooting persuasion to surrender, the morale of the enemy army has long been low, at noon, it is the moment when people are lazy and drowsy, the attack is invigorated, and the retreat is easy to get tired.
Meng Feiyang sat up straight, and his eyes suddenly became very bright, "...... It's noon! He turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Kill the rebels and take back the capital!" ”
"Kill the rebels and take back the capital!"
"Kill the rebels and take back the capital!!"
"Kill the rebels and recapture the ......!!! of the capital"
3,000 people chimed in, 30,000 joined in unison, and 200,000 troops chimed in,...... A wave of earth-shattering roars that rose higher than a wave! Even the earth shook a few times!
The defenders on the upper floor of the capital city were all afraid.
Meng Feiyang raised his hand and waved the flag, "Arrow rain,...... Hair! ”
Tens of thousands of elite soldiers outside the city spread one after another, scattering arrows in the sky!
Meng Feiyang said again: "Cloud car,...... Array! ”
A dull gurgling sound sounded, and nearly 100 cloud cars lined up, stretching out dozens of feet away, surrounding the entire half of the city wall of the capital! With a loud "boom", a boulder was thrown and flew up to the city, and it was smashed into a ghost crying wolf! Soon, one huge stone after another smashed into the city, and the archers at the head of the city had almost no way to fight back head-on......
Li Xiao led several heavy stone carts, tied long pillars, and constantly hit the gate, the momentum shook the sky, and finally led three thousand elite horsemen to break through the door, shouting loudly, "Return to the emperor and grandson, and there is no crime in autumn!" ”
"Return to the emperor and grandson, Qiu has not committed any crimes!!"
Before the words fell, the three thousand elite armor soldiers who followed the attack kept shouting together! They suddenly broke in, and it was like a storm and clouds, blood and light were splashed, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the army defending the city had already been frightened and scattered!
The two of them went one after the other, Meng Feiyang opened the way, and after Li Xiao broke off, it was like a harmonious meat grinder, driving three thousand elite soldiers to fight non-stop, and no one in the city dared to beat him!
All the way by, the blood flowed like a river!
The tens of thousands of panicked defenders in the city were quickly dispersed......
After a while, Meng Fei rushed to the commander's command platform with a silver gun and an unstoppable momentum, neighed his horse, and stopped in front of the defender commander accurately, shouting: "...... Suffer death! ”
"You ......" the boss widened, as if he couldn't believe that the other man would stand in front of him, "how did you rush over......"
Have tens of thousands of soldiers perished? It's absolutely impossible!
Several lieutenants around the coach rushed up, and the cronies behind Meng Feiyang were not vegetarians, and the people on both sides suddenly fought, with swords and swords, blurred flesh and blood, and red eyes.
"You are the one who suffers!" The commander was sitting on the command platform of the Chinese army, and he didn't even have time to ride the war horse, so he grabbed the big knife and slashed it upwards, "Rebel and thief......"
"Thieves?!" Meng Feiyang was so angry that he lost the hatred and anger of his parents, and he was suddenly provoked, fast, ruthless and accurate, and stabbed the boss in the arm with a shot, so painful that he couldn't hold the big knife, gritted his teeth and said: "Today, ......, I will let you die in the hands of my thief!" ”
The boss stood under the horse and suffered a loss, endured severe pain to pick up the knife, and the next moment ......, his head was divided by Meng Feiyang's sword. Bones roll under their horses!
The commander was beheaded, and the Chinese army was in chaos!
The defenders of the city in the capital were in a panic and rushed to flee, and countless people were killed, trampled on, and surrendered, and almost collapsed themselves......
The gates were crumbling and about to be broken, when suddenly a ragged figure appeared at the wall, and she was hanged from the wall, not knowing whether she was alive or dead.
Meng Feiyang recognized at a glance that the person hanging on the city wall was Shishi, and he immediately asked Li Xiao to stop attacking the city. Coldly ordered, "Go." Send for the man on the tower of the city. ”
Li Xiao didn't know who the person on the city tower was, but reason told him that now was not the right time to save people, so he hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth to persuade: "Your Highness." The subordinates are afraid that this is a trap......"
"I know. But this man must be saved. Meng Feiyang interrupted Li Xiao's words. He said in a very firm tone.
Li Xiao couldn't, so he could only arrange a team of soldiers to go up to save people, but the people above the city tower really just used this person as bait. It was full of archers, and no matter how many people went up, they were all shot.
After the death of more than a dozen elite soldiers, the strategists around Meng Feiyang were also anxious, Lu Qingcang frowned, and said to Meng Feiyang: "Your Highness, this is the delaying strategy of the imperial court envoys, we can't continue to delay, otherwise I'm afraid that reinforcements will arrive." ”
Meng Feiyang's face was a little hesitant, and Li Xiao on the side suddenly asked: "If Your Highness believes in your subordinates, your subordinates can save that person." ”
Meng Feiyang looked at him, his eyes burned, and after a moment of silence, he said slowly: "Then it's all up to you." ”
Li Xiao received the order, and took a team of elite soldiers to the city tower, they stopped outside the range of the bow and arrow, and then Li Xiao took out a dagger from his arms, aimed at the rope hanging Shishi, and shot out, the dagger cut the rope accurately, Li Xiao immediately flew forward, took Shishi in his arms, and found that it was a woman, and almost unclothed, his expression couldn't help but sneer, and immediately took off the cloak behind him, and wrapped her tightly.
Li Xiao brought the person to Meng Feiyang, panted slightly and said, "Your Highness, fortunately, I am not dishonored. ”
Meng Feiyang only glanced at Shi Shi for a moment, and then immediately ordered: "Send people to the military doctor, so that they can be healed." ”
Solved the matter of the poem, Meng Feiyang continued to order people to attack the city, at this time the court soldiers on the city tower were already weak, the moment the city gate was breached, Meng Feiyang's soldiers were all shaking the sky and cheering, Meng Feiyang rode on the horse, his face also showed an excited look, with the elite soldiers behind him, it was a long drive straight in.
The people in the city had already fled to their homes, and most of the court soldiers were killed and fled, and Meng Feiyang led a large number of people and horses to go directly to the palace in the center of the city.
In the Wu'an Hou Mansion, Jian Yu was already standing in the front yard in military uniform, and Ruan Shi in plain clothes stood opposite him, both of them were not very solemn, as if they were in a stalemate.
"Yu'er, you listen to your mother, don't go to this troubled water, have you forgotten how Li Yan treated your father and how he treated you!?" Ruan almost burst into tears, struggling to persuade Jian Yu.
Jian Yu's face was full of struggle, he looked at Ruan, and said word by word: "Mother, at such a moment when the country is ruined and the family is ruined, how can I ignore it, I have been loyal to the Marquis of Wu'an for several generations, even if the emperor is sorry for us, but our loyalty to the Great Zhou will not change, you don't want to stop me, I have already decided." ”
"Yu'er, why are you so stupid, what kind of country is ruined, let my mother tell you directly, Da Zhou is still that Da Zhou, the person who is attacking the city now is the original emperor's grandson, the son of the former prince's concubine, he is just here to get back his own throne, this is just the internal struggle of the Li family itself, why should we outsiders send to death!" Ruan was anxious, so he told him about this confusion.
Jian Yu was stunned, thinking of the rebel leader he had seen, he came back to his senses after a while, and said, "What did you say...... It's true? ”
In order to persuade Jian Yu, Ruan hesitated for a moment, and simply told Jian Yu the agreement she and Meng Feiyang had reached in private.
"Yu'er, you come in, my mother will talk to you slowly." Ruan Shi pulled the stunned Jian Yu into the house, the words she was going to say below may not be acceptable to his son, but she is not afraid that he will blame her now, she did all this, just to pass her son, for the entire Wu'an Hou Mansion.
"What! You actually gave someone else the tiger talisman that called the troops on the border, do you know what you are doing, you know that the soldiers on the border can't move, what if Zeguo takes advantage of this time to come in, you will become a sinner for the ages! Jian Yu said excitedly after listening to Ruan's story.
Ruan Shi had already guessed that Jian Yu would react like this, so he just shook his head slowly, and said helplessly: "Yu'er, you don't understand, my Wu'an Hou Mansion has been stationed at the border for generations, and your father also died on the border, those soldiers are only loyal to our Wu Anhou Mansion, a tiger talisman can't mobilize the 200,000 troops on the border, it must be the tiger talisman and the private seal of Wu Anhou to mobilize, I will give the tiger talisman to the emperor's grandson, and just show him an attitude, let him know that our Wu'an Hou Mansion is on his side, so that after he succeeds, Only then can we be safe and sound and keep this Wu'an Hou Mansion. ”
Jian Yu naturally understood Ruan's good intentions, but it was difficult for him to accept such a method, his face turned red, and he said after a long time: "Then what's the difference between us and the rebellious ministers and thieves." ”
Ruan's expression immediately turned grim, and he rebuked Jian Yu and said: "Yu'er, you have to figure it out, if it wasn't for that Li Yan who harmed the crown prince, the person sitting in that seat now doesn't know who it is, when it comes to orthodoxy, then the emperor and grandson are the real orthodoxy, we are just setting things right." ”
Jian Yu sneered, and said, "How does the mother know that this emperor and grandson will not become the second Li Yan." ”
Ruan's expression slowed down slightly, and continued: "You can rest assured, I have already negotiated the conditions with the emperor and grandson, and after he ascends the throne, he will give us Peicheng on the border as a fief, and when we go there, even if the emperor is far away, and there is the support of the army, no one will be able to harm us again." "The Ruan clan had already made plans and thought of a way out, and when they gave the tiger talisman to Meng Feiyang, they had already negotiated the conditions.
Jian Yu was speechless, and after a while, a look of frustration appeared on his face, in fact, when the army attacked the city, he already knew that the overall situation had been decided, but he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
Ruan Shi saw that Jian Yu seemed to have compromised, so he made persistent efforts and continued to persuade: "Mother knows that you like that Wanwan girl, if you really like her, my mother is in charge, just help you to propose marriage to her, and when the time comes, our family will go to live in Peicheng, and we will no longer care about the pickling affairs in the capital." "In fact, since the last time Lu Wanwan came to lobby her for Meng Feiyang, she already had this plan, if her status by the side of the emperor and grandson is not low, then Yu'er married her as a daughter-in-law, which is also a guarantee.
