Chapter 230: Zhao Sanlazy's Entanglement
"General, it seems that the imperial army is attacking Jianmen City with a stone thrower." A subordinate leaned over and said.
"Yes. Go up and call the door. The anger in Mo Wuyan's heart disappeared.
The subordinate stepped forward cautiously this time, and when he reached the city wall, he stood still and called for the door.
Someone on the city wall quickly showed his head.
"It's General Mo, right? That, the little one can't open the door for you. ”
"Fart, why can't you open the door? The imperial army is attacking, and General Ben is here to reinforce, why can't he open the door? Mo Wuyan said angrily.
"General Mo is angry, it's not that he doesn't want to open the door for you, but the city gate is blocked by stones, we can't clean up the stones, and the city gate can't be opened. Let's not talk about opening the door to General Mo now, we can't get in touch with General Zhao. ”
"Why is that?" As soon as Mo Wuyan finished asking, there was a loud bang, and a big stone smashed on the edge of the city wall, and then bounced straight over.
Mo Wuyan's soldiers hurriedly dodged to the side, but the road was narrow, they crowded the road to the brim, and some guys in front dodged, but the two guys behind the dozens of rows were directly stoned to death, and four or five guys were swept away by the trend of falling stones.
After a period of chaos and quiet again, everyone raised their heads to observe the sky to prevent another stone from suddenly falling down.
The soldiers on the city wall snickered twice and explained loudly: "General Mo, the officers and soldiers have been throwing stones with stone throwers since yesterday morning, and they have been throwing stones until now, and they have not stopped. The city is almost full of stones. Everyone didn't dare to go out, so they could only hide in the corner. The gates are already full of stones, and we can't clean them. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, even if you die, you have to clean it up, open the city gate quickly, and the general will enter the city." Mo Wuyan said angrily.
In his opinion, these guys are pure nonsense. How could the imperial army throw stones day and night. He knew very well what the situation was with the imperial army. Generally speaking, a project can carry 20 trebuchets. This time, although Liang Jia drove the expedition in person, he also brought a maximum of forty planes.
Forty trebuchets, if they had been thrown down for such a long time, they would have been damaged a long time ago, how could they have been thrown for so long?
These guys are just greedy for life and afraid of death.
"General Mo, the little ones really can't help it......" one of the soldiers on the city wall shouted.
"Nima's fart, hurry up, delay the defense of the city, General Ben will cut off your head." Mo Wuyan said angrily.
But as he shouted, the soldier on the wall who had answered had retracted his head and ignored him.
This can make Mo Wuyan angry. But he scolded a few times on the spot, but there was nothing he could do. You can't send troops to attack the city.
Just when he didn't know what to do, suddenly a few more stones fell, Mo Wuyan hurriedly retreated, and the soldiers behind him also retreated.
This time, everyone who was prepared was not knocked down by the stone, but there was still one unlucky guy who was grazed in the leg.
"General, what now? Judging by this stance, the soldier should not be lying. The subordinate asked.
"Let's retreat down the hill and talk about it." Mo Wuyan was helpless, so he had to lead the army to retreat and retreat all the way to the bottom of the mountain.
Zhao Sanlazy is now trapped in the city gate hole, and the stones that keep falling outside give them no chance to go out to clean up, causing the stones in front of the city gate hole to pile up higher and higher, and seeing that they are about to be one person taller, some stones have also rolled into the city gate hole.
"General, the officers and soldiers are really going to bury Jianmen City with stones." The dozens of soldiers around Zhao Sanlan were scared.
If you die on the battlefield, forget it, what the hell is Nima being killed by stones? It's aggrieved to think about. Besides, no matter what kind of death they do, they don't want to die.
"General, if you don't leave, it's really too late, so if you throw it overnight, Jianmen City is estimated to be sincere." Another pro-soldier also spoke.
Zhao Sanlazi's face was also ugly, if he fought with the official army, even if he failed, the emperor would not punish him. But if it is like now, the official army does not even send a single soldier, he will retreat, and the emperor will definitely cut off his head when he goes back.
But if you don't leave, it's a death. He wanted to lead his troops out to fight with the official army, but there were a total of 10,000 defenders in the city, which was affected by trebuchets, and he couldn't even pass on the order, so it was estimated that he could only rush down with the dozens of personal soldiers around him and thousands of soldiers on this city wall.
It's a death to rush like this.
Zhao Sanlazy was very entangled.
Although he was born in a reckless world and never studied, he was not stupid at all. How to do it is beneficial to himself, he Zhao Sanlazy must think clearly.
Returning to Yizhou is a death, staying is a death, and rushing out is also a death, so it seems that there is only one way to go.
"Let's go? Back to Yizhou? Zhao Sanlazy asked.
"Aang?" The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and Qi Qi was puzzled. "If you don't go back to Yizhou, where will you go?"
"General Ben took you to guard Jianmen City, and he didn't fight with the official army, and he ran back without a sword, do you think the emperor can let General Ben go? Can I spare you again? Zhao Sanlazy asked.
"But it's not something we don't want to fight."
"Will the emperor listen to your explanation? All he saw was that you had lost the gateway to the river, which was a great sin. You must know that after losing Jianmen City and the official army entering Jianmen City, there will be no decent pass in the entire Sichuan. The importance of Jianmen City can be imagined. With our sins, 100 percent will be withdrawn and our heads will be cut off. ”
"What then?"
"General Ben has an idea." Zhao Sanlan showed a rare smile on his face.
"The general said quickly. We are all old brothers who have followed the general for many years, and we are absolutely loyal to the general. The pro-soldiers hurriedly assured.
"Find a new place."
"Looking for a new place? Does the general mean that we run? A quick pro-soldier asked.
Zhao San was noncommittal, and the meaning was self-evident.
"But where are we going? It is impossible in the east, the reinforcements brought by Mo Wuyan in the west are estimated to be coming, and Liangjia in the north and south is a steep mountain, and we have no way to escape if we want to. The soldier spoke of the predicament they were facing.
"Didn't you find that the imperial army was only at the bottom of the mountain, and there were no defenses on both sides of the mountain at all? Although the slopes on both sides are steep and difficult for pedestrians, if we are careful, we can definitely get out. As for where to go, General Ben has already thought about it, since the emperor can't stay here, let's just find another emperor, isn't there an emperor in the southwest. ”
After listening to Zhao Sanlazi's plan, the pro-soldiers present all nodded in agreement. There is a glimmer of life, who would stay here and wait for death. As for Dong Qixiong's grand plan of the emperor, it has something to do with them.
