Chapter 299: Siege (2-in-1)
In fact, Chengchao County does not have four doors closed.
There are often Dongyi soldiers escorting long convoys in and out, transporting military supplies in all directions, and also letting people in and out, and the Dongyi people seem to intend to take root here and live for a long time, not wanting to turn Chengchao into a lonely city.
After the scout reported the situation, Mi Jingyang wanted to send some people into the city, and when the time came, he could quickly take down the nest and end the battle.
But when he asked, he couldn't help frowning.
Only the people of the east gate and the south gate can enter and exit, the city gate is very strict, the people of Daliang have to pay the money first and then search their bodies, I heard that they have to bow to the portrait of Yan Shan, the leader of Dongyi, and the ghost boy, which is extremely humiliating.
It has been a long time since the nest fell into the hands of the Dongyi people, and there are very few people entering and leaving the city every day, and it is impossible to queue up outside the city gate, so it is impossible to get close to this after the war, waiting for the opportunity to seize the gate.
And with the respect that the musicians received in Daliang, not to mention that it is impossible to condescend to bow to the leader of the foreign bandits, even if he reluctantly goes, he doesn't pretend to be like it, but he is afraid that he will be exposed immediately and cause a big deal.
Mi Jingyang had no choice but to send a hundred highly skilled scouts and ordered them to disguise themselves and sneak into the city first.
That's two days.
In September, the sky has not completely cooled down, and tens of thousands of people are hiding in this small mountain col, and you can imagine how many mosquitoes, insects, rats and ants are in the grass, which is simply biting everyone bitterly.
At noon on this day, the official road was dusty, and a few war horses galloped from the direction of Dongyang Mountain.
Mi Jingyang got the report, his spirits were lifted, and he ordered the whole army to prepare for the siege.
It's finally getting started!
He dispatched troops on the one hand. While nervously watching the reaction of the nesting side.
Fortunately, within half an hour, the west gate of Chengchao County was opened. The mighty Dongyi army drove to the direction of Dongyang Mountain, with cavalry in front and infantry behind, like a dragon, with a preliminary estimate of at least seven or eight thousand people.
Mi Jingyang had to report that he was relieved: the staff of the second prince really expected the enemy to take the lead, and the ghost boy took the bait!
There are more than 10,000 enemies in Chengchao County who are holding on to the city, how many are left after removing these seven or eight thousand people? He didn't believe that his tens of thousands of troops would not be able to attack the city. Can't take the granary.
After arranging the front troops of the siege, Mi Jingyang sent people to invite Gao Qi and Wen Sheng.
He watched from a distance as his soldiers lured the two over, Gao Qi was a big fat man. is short and fat, and Wen Sheng looks about the same size.
It had been four or five days since the army left Huaning, and it was subject to conditions. All of them were disgraced and described as wolf bèi.
Gao Qi's face was oily. There were grass clippings everywhere on his body, his hair drooped down in locks, and he walked with a panting breath, which was unbearable to look at.
With him lining, Gu Wensheng, who was dressed in a beautiful blue oil forging suit, was not very neat and tidy, but he looked quite calm, and at first glance, he looked like a son and brother who came out to hunt.
A woman. Staying in the pile of men will always have all kinds of inconveniences. I don't know how she overcame it.
Wen Sheng didn't know that Mi Jingyang was speculating about how she had spent the past few days, in fact, Rao was well-prepared, and she had suffered a lot of sins in the past few days.
She ate cold and hard dry food, drank cold water found in the ravine, slept in the sky, and several of the musicians had a cold and fever, but fortunately she was in good health and did not fall ill.
When they arrived and greeted each other, Mi Jingyang asked his soldiers to move two big stones and asked the two to sit down.
"Chengchao has already sent reinforcements to Dongyang Mountain, the defense in the city is empty, I have already asked the front army to prepare, as soon as the Qi brothers intercept the enemy and ignite the wolf smoke, we will immediately attack the city."
Wen Sheng and Gao Qi breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, so they didn't have to stay in the wild anymore.
"When attacking the city, you need to cooperate with two musicians. More than 100 of us have already mixed into the city, ready to cooperate with the outside world, there are too few people in the city, the opportunity is fleeting, we must seize it. ”
When Mi Jingyang said this, he deliberately observed the two people on the opposite side: "The focus of the attack for a while is on the West Gate and the North Gate, Mr. Gao led a team of musicians to the West Gate first, helping the soldiers to attack the city with all their might, and when the enemy guarding the West Gate feels the pressure, he will definitely draw people from the other three places, and our people in the city and the team of musicians led by Miss Gu will forcibly seize the door in the north, can you understand?" ”
Gao Qi glanced at Wen Sheng and said with a smile: "General Mi, rest assured, we will definitely live up to our mission." ”
Wen Sheng weighed it a little in his heart, compared with Gao Qi's bluff when he was ordered, his own team was naturally much more dangerous.
However, Mi Jingyang's arrangement doesn't sound too flawed, as long as she is not deliberately framed, she can't refuse.
Mi Jingyang is not bad, he didn't step on himself to death, with Yang Haojian here, Wen Sheng didn't expect to be treated the same as Gao Qi.
Thinking of this, she said lightly: "I understand, let's go all out and fight to take down the north gate." ”
Two hours later, the scouts who had stayed on the high ground rushed to report: "General, I see the wolf smoke!" ”
Mi Jingyang immediately ordered the siege of the city.
At this time, Wen Sheng had already returned to the musicians and informed Hua Feizhou and the others of the next task, since they came to Baizhou, they had never rushed to the forefront in the battle to seize the city, and when the news spread, everyone's expressions were a little solemn.
Yang Lanyi looked apprehensive and leaned over to Wen Sheng's side: "Won't it be dangerous?" ”
The danger is naturally there, once the success is ten thousand bones, no one wants to be the "ten thousand bones", Wen Sheng did not answer him directly, only said: "You follow me, don't be too far away." ”
The imperial army rushed to the bottom of Chengchao City, and Gao Qi's team of musicians had already driven to the vicinity of the west gate to ensure that the arrows could not be shot, and the sound of drums combined with the shouts of tens of thousands of people sounded deafening.
From time to time, the figures of the Dongyi people flashed behind the battlements of the city wall, and arrows and flying stones rained down overwhelmingly.
The shield-bearers could not protect themselves, the soldiers carrying the giant trees were taken care of first, the screams were incessant, the ladder overturned, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of hedgehog-like corpses fell in front of the city gates.
Wen Sheng and the others stood on a high place and watched this tragic scene from afar, Yang Lanyi's face was like earth. Trembling like a quail: "...... We're going to have to rush up like this for a while? Or play the flute far away? ”
Wen Sheng said indifferently: "Rush up." ”
Yang Lanyi shuddered, and it happened that Vice General Peng, who was in charge of leading the troops to storm the north gate, came over to invite Jing Jie and the musicians of Xuanyin Pavilion to set off, Yang Lanyi dragged and cried: "Wait for me." I'm going to be convenient! ”
Wen Sheng was speechless, and he couldn't leave him alone: "...... Hurry up. ”
Yang Lanyi turned around and ran away.
Hua Feizhou said: "Forget it, don't take him." "Seeing Yang Lanyi, it's like seeing what these people looked like when they first entered the battlefield, although they are nervous now, they won't be so out of shape.
"Let's wait." Wen Sheng said, the scene is so chaotic. Elsewhere may not be as safe as being around you.
It didn't take much time for Yang Lanyi to get out of the grass and see that Wen Sheng was still there. Immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Sheng greeted him: "Let's go." ”
The north gate was also under siege, but the attack was much weaker than that of the west.
Vice General Peng led thousands of elite soldiers without pressing them together, waiting for the opportunity to join forces inside and outside.
Jing Jie and Yun Lu were not at ease, and persuaded Wen Sheng to beat the drum from a distance like Gao Qi for a while. The two armies are at war. Wen Sheng's drum sound is much more useful than Gao Qi's.
Wen Sheng watched from afar as the soldiers set up the ladder one after another, and after a moment of silence, he still held the "Taiping" in his hand: "I'll still use the piano, if you follow the words, there will be fewer sacrifices." You all protect yourselves. ”
Zhong Tianzheng picked up a nice sound and comforted Ge Bin, Murong Changxing and others, came back to Wen Sheng's side, and said in a low voice: "After this battle, you can go back to Beijing." Here, Yang Haojian wants to die, you have a chance. ”
Wen Sheng looked at Chengchao City. A nonchalant smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he repeated: "Here? ”
Obviously talking about life-threatening matters. She didn't even give herself a look, Zhong Tianzheng was displeased, and aggravated her tone: "What is Chengchao, I'm talking about Baizhou, leave here and go back to Beijing!" ”
Wen Sheng retracted his gaze, and his fingers gently stroked the strings: "As I told you, if I don't rescue Cheng Guogong, I will never go back!" ”
The two of them held each other, and their momentum was very strong, and Yang Lanyi, who was already like a frightened bird, took a step back and carefully looked at Zhong Tianzheng Tieqing's face.
At this time, there was more than half an hour before the siege began, and it was not possible to see how the Dongyi people in the city were dispatched outside the city, but it is said that the people of Daliang had already appeared at the head of the West Gate, and they were forced by the Dongyi defenders to throw stones and splash boiling water on the court with long knives.
The situation on the north gate side is similar, as soon as the news came, there was a riot at the head of the city, and Vice General Peng ordered thousands of elite soldiers to press on it, vowing to take advantage of this opportunity to take the north gate.
Wen Sheng waved his hand and motioned for the musicians to step forward.
Zhong Tianzheng clenched his fist with one hand and said angrily: "It's really self-defeating!" He turned and rushed towards the gate.
Jing Jie led people to hold a heavy shield, intended to help the musicians block a chaotic arrow, Yun Lu held a knife and carefully guarded by the side, Wen Sheng stepped forward and plucked the strings.
The sound of shouting and killing was full of ears, and the sound of the piano from "Taiping" was completely masked, and even Wen Sheng herself couldn't hear it, but her mood was not disturbed, and the song "Sailing" was still playing a role.
With her as the center, in the sky above the hundreds of people around her, the sound of the piano turned into an invisible barrier.
At this time, because of the riot on the city tower, the condescending attack has weakened a lot, and there are fewer arrows and flying stones, so it is easier to see clearly.
Arrows fell like rain, but someone held up a transparent umbrella and walked in the rain of arrows.
In full view, this was more morale-boosting than the drums.
In just a few moments, more than thirty musicians approached the gate of the city, and the Dongyi people who defended the city fell from the city wall and fell down from the city as if they had fallen into an evil spirit.
There were exclamations of surprise from the city and the city, and the chaos became even more chaotic for a while.
Wen Sheng knew that there were constantly people around her who were injured, including the soldiers of the Ji family army and the musicians of the Xuanyin Pavilion, she had reached the limit, and she really couldn't protect so many people, so she could only try to protect those who were close to her.
Her ears were very good, and as there were fewer and fewer Dongyi people guarding the city above, the musicians' voices gradually revealed.
On her left, there is the depressed sound of Ge Bin's flute, the sound of Hua Feizhou Qingyue's piano, Zhuo Xuan, and Zhong Tianzheng......
Wen Sheng's sense is also very keen, there is obviously a sight on the city tower that has been following her since the beginning, why didn't there be a musician attacking that person?
Or did everyone's music not hurt him?
Wen Sheng raised his head, behind the battle flag on the city tower, a person holding a long knife in his hand, quickly retreated back, looking at the clothes, it should be the leader of Dongyi.
She still wanted to see it carefully, and suddenly felt that it was dark in front of her, and the sunlight was actually divided into colorful colors, is this the sky about to get dark?
Wen Sheng staggered a step, and Yun Lu on the side was quick and hurriedly helped her.
At this moment, there was a loud bang, and deafening cheers broke out in the surroundings, the city gates were opened, and the court occupied the northern city.
The nest city is here.
Wen Sheng stopped the piano and felt weak all over.
Yun Lu hurriedly said: "What's the matter, are you okay?" ”
Wen Sheng shook his head and signaled that he was fine.
At this time, there was no need to move forward by themselves, but the army behind them poured into the city, and the people in front were coerced into the city.
The Dongyi people were defeated like a mountain, and it was not even a quarter of an hour after the north gate was broken, and the west gate was also broken.
The imperial army swarmed in, and the streets were full of soldiers of the Great Liang, and the two teams of men and horses crossed the streets and alleys, gathering together, and met with almost no decent resistance.
Wen Sheng found a horse to ride, walked two streets with the team, and met Gao Qi and his party.
He brought Mi Jingyang's order: The remaining more than 3,000 Dongyi defenders had just fled from the south city gate, and there was no need to surround the city anymore, so they hurried to the granary, lest the remnants of the enemy see that the situation was bad and burn the grain.
Just after the siege battle, a team of musicians led by Gao Qi was almost unharmed, and after the order, he took the lead and followed the guide to the nest warehouse, for fear that he would be too late and the credit would be robbed.
The guide, a scout who had sneaked into the city before, trotted ahead to lead the way, and reported to Gao Qi and Vice General Peng about the situation in the granary.
"The Dongyi people look at the granary very strictly, not to mention people, not even a fly can fly into it. The little one just looked at it secretly from a distance, and the specific situation will not be clear until the adults arrive. ”
However, according to small observations, during this time, the Dongyi people kept transporting grain outside the city. There are all kinds of them in the southeast, northwest, and everywhere, and the sum is not a small number. ”
Gao Qi and Vice General Peng were well aware of this situation, and when the army was ambushed outside the city, more than one scout reported it to Mi Jingyang.
"Also, in the past few days, the Dongyi defenders have looted the people in the city very hard, even the rice and grain hidden in the cellar will be searched, every household is starving, the grain store and the restaurant have long been closed, if our people don't find a way from the Dongyi people, they can't find anything to eat in the whole city."
Vice General Peng frowned and asked, "Did you starve to death?" ”
"Definitely."
Vice General Peng scolded, turned around and ordered the whole team to speed up.
He already had a premonition that when they arrived at the granary, they would not only face the remnants of Dongyi, but also the people of the whole city, who were already hungry and crazy. (To be continued......)
