Chapter 10 Response
The remnant sun is like blood, and the wind splits the sky.
The day's siege battle was coming to an end, the walls that were not too high looked down on the entire battlefield, there were flying ladders with smoke everywhere, countless stumps and broken arms were scattered everywhere, the banners that covered the sky and the sun had lost their initial momentum, the screaming and fighting crowd became numb, and the sword light reflected the faces of the living, all of which were hideous and distorted. Even the birds that had returned to their nests seemed to be frightened by the bloody gas, and the clouds that flapped their wings and circled into the night disappeared.
Li Erniu was exhausted, six of the ten brothers in Shi had died, and the other comrades had died even more. He never knew that the siege of the city was so difficult and dangerous, and that the short journey from the front of the battle to the foot of the city, which could be run in dozens of breaths in the past, had become a swamp of death that killed countless people.
Braving rockets and flying stones, he finally rushed to the city wall, stepped on the corpses and shoulders of his companions, hung up the flying ladder with all his might, and then desperately climbed to the middle of the road with a long knife in his mouth, and immediately there was a boiling gold juice pouring down. Gold juice is generally made of feces, which is not only easy to burn but also easy to infect, stained with either death or injury, very negative, but also very effective.
Some people couldn't dodge, and were poured gold juice on their faces, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, half of their cheeks began to rot, revealing the white bones of the forest, and even the eyeballs rolled out. And the unbearable itching makes people stretch out their hands and scratch, the flesh on their bodies is torn apart with their fingertips one by one, and some people can't stand the pain of burning their bodies with gold juice, and they are willing to commit suicide with a knife. If the gods blessed, luckily avoided the golden juice, and saw that he was about to climb the city, and was stabbed down by the spears protruding from the pheasant moat, and then overturned the flying ladder hanging on the battlements with a long resistant, and the people on the ladder fell down one by one and died, * cross-current, and the intestines were ruptured, turning this once elegant Qiantang City into a ghost in the world.
From a distance, the black head is like an ant rolling off a hot pot, disappearing with the wind, insignificant, only the little dust stirred up on the ground shows the traces of the existence of these little people to the world.
Ant-possessed!
Li Erniu remembered the word he heard when chatting in the army before, and now he has a real experience. The screams of his companions rang in his ears all the time, and several attempts to the city were all in vain, but fortunately, he survived each time.
The retreating cymbals finally sounded, accompanied by the banners and the shouts of officers at all levels, the archers fired several volleys, suppressing the defenders at the head of the city, and the reserves formed pincers on the left and right, covering the retreat of the besieging troops from the battlefield in batches. Qiu Yuan specially buried ambush soldiers on the way to retreat, in case the Tianshi Army sent troops to pursue, but the two sides fought a bloody battle today, obviously hurting their vitality, and the Tianshi Army watched the Fuzhou soldiers retreat, and did not have the courage to open the city again.
That night, according to the results of the battle, more than 1,000 Fuzhou soldiers were killed and wounded, but the 5,000 elites of the reserve team were not seriously damaged, and most of the casualties were county soldiers who were temporarily transferred from various counties. In addition, the siege equipment was seriously damaged, and dozens of wooden and bamboo flying ladders were burned down, the most headache for Qiu Yuan was that the moat, which had been dried up, had stored knee-high water due to the heavy rain in the past few days, and the water was full of thistles, and it was impossible to cross safely, and the big reason for the slow progress of today's siege was that the moat was difficult to cross, and the price paid for sandbag filling was too great, so Qiu Yuan ordered the whole army to repair for seven days, build a large cloud ladder and Feijiang moat bridge, and send people to cut off the upstream water source, prepare for a long-term siege of the city, and rebuild dozens of wells. Rush cars, thunderbolts, etc., for the next siege.
Liu Yan got the tip, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, his subordinates are not all brave and good at fighting, all with faith to forge a fierce and fearless death, in fact, in terms of literacy, some of them are still inferior to the county soldiers. As the defender of the city, he took advantage of the time and place, and had all kinds of military supplies, but he still killed and wounded more than 200 people in one day, seventy percent of them were hit by stray arrows and stone cannons, and some fell to the head of the city in a panic.
There is a seven-day buffer, which can rearrange the city defense, train the troops, boost morale, and stabilize the people's hearts in order to deal with the next strong attack of the Fuzhou soldiers. Liu Yan arranged the military affairs, and came to see Xu You in a hurry, and laughed first when they met, and said: "The Furong tent is warm these days, can Lang Jun be happy?" ”
Xu You smiled and said: "I'm not close to women in my life, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the general!" ”
"Huh, huh?" Liu Yan sat down on the Hu bed with a golden knife and said, "I heard that Jingyuan raises Le Ji, who is unparalleled in color and art, and envy others. There is also that Su Tang Su girl, and you are also in love, if you say that others don't love women, I still believe in three points, Xu Langjun is a talented man, how can there be a pure heart and few desires to be a monk? ”
He leaned forward, looked quite playful, and said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you, when I came here just now, I received a report from my subordinates that Su Tang was hiding in the house of a local scholar and was caught!" ”
Xu You's pupils contracted suddenly, his body became stiff, and his eyes, which were always peaceful, were suddenly full of fierceness and coldness. Liu Yan and An Yuxiu are both delicate people with transparent eyebrows and eyes, although Xu You's abnormality was only for a moment, and then he deliberately covered it up, but they were still caught by them - in fact, in Xu You's heart, he cared a lot about this girl named Su Tang.
Liu Yan remembered what Du Mingyu had told him, Xu You, a person with great perseverance, wisdom and talent, is not a temporary choice, not a top person who can be shaken by words. There is only one point, this son is kind by nature, first for the sake of his subordinates, he is willing to be captured, and when he sees Zhu Wuxuan, he still has compassion, and he pleads for him at the risk of offending me, which shows that there is a woman's kindness.
If such a person wants to control him, he must grasp his weaknesses. Xu You's weakness lies in the fact that he can't ignore the people he really cares about, so since everyone in Jingyuan has fled, only Su Tang of the Mirror Pavilion has a close relationship with him, which may be a breakthrough.
Su Tang's whereabouts have actually been under Liu Yan's surveillance, but the Qiantang Rebellion lost a lot of fine work that sneaked into the city that night, and focused on Xu You, Su Tang happened to go out with people to play, and just escaped this catastrophe.
However, she still did not escape from the city in time, and reluctantly hid in the house of the scholar who traveled with her for a few days, and was finally betrayed by the scholar and fell into the hands of the Heavenly Master Army.
After being silent for a long time, Xu You said: "General Liu, if you want to make a big deal and take advantage of the little woman, is it the big husband's doing?" ”
Liu Yan was honest and happy in his heart, and he was even a little happier than he was to defend Qiantang City today. Xu You has been fighting with him for so long, and for the first time, he has no confidence in his words, and he is no longer the hateful appearance of winning and not entering, he did not answer, turned his head to look at An Yuxiu, and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess may not know that when Xu Langjun first arrived in Qiantang, he formed an indissoluble bond with this beautiful and amorous Su girl. The two of them stayed and flew in the Jingyuan, Xun Yue did not come out, and I don't know how many men I envied. Later, it was rumored that Xu Langjun was unfortunate and abandoned Su Tang and expelled him from Jingyuan. But according to my investigation, this is just a ruse to paralyze the ears and eyes of Crouching Tiger and confuse Meng Xingchun. Ha, don't be deceived by Xu Langjun, this seemingly Hongya Zhuo Yu Ye Yiguang has endless tricks in his belly, otherwise, Jingyuan and Jingge will not be just separated by a bridge, and the two secretly don't know how many times they have met in secret......"
An Yuxiu was a little curious, Xu You and Su Tang's affair, she also heard about it occasionally when she was in Shanyin, but she forgot it when she heard it, and she didn't take it to heart. This will be very interested, she wants to know what kind of girl will make Xu You lose his former calmness just by hearing the name!
"That's all in the past, General, my life and death are in your hands, and there are many ways to punish me, and you don't need to involve others. The girl of Sutang District, who has no power to restrain the chicken, is lonely, has no threat to the general, and she is famous in Qiantang and has many admirers. ”
"People's hearts?"
Liu Yan sneered and said: "The so-called people's will is made by you scholars, who can only speak quickly, but you have nothing to do with it. Those people are all stupid, the winner is the king, that is, from it, and the loser is cole, that is, spit on it. Those who have become great things since ancient times, have soldiers and food, brave generals and good strategies, and the crown is at that time, the world can get it, and what is the hindrance to the people's hearts? ”
Xu You looked directly at Liu Yan and said: "Qiantang is lonely in the north and south, and there are no strong cities to rely on each other, but the southern counties of Yangzhou are initially decided, and it will take time to calm down and stabilize, so Qiantang must not be lost." In today's battle, presumably the generals also found that the Fuzhou soldiers were not a mess of mud, let you rub and beat, if there were no tens of thousands of people in Qiantang working together to resist the king's division, I can assert that this city, with only 5,000 people in the hands of the general, could not hold it for seven days! ”
Five thousand people is just a number estimated by Xu You when he eavesdropped on the small talk of the guards outside the door, and the soldiers suddenly broke out that night, and the detailed work he caught confessed that there were two thousand people, but in fact, there were only more than a thousand people at most, and hundreds of people at the least. However, during this period of time, Qiantang has been increasing its troops one after another, and according to the size of the city, the number of people, and the proportion that can be supported, the estimate of 5,000 people should not be too bad.
Liu Yan seemed to hear some terrible joke, raised his head and laughed, and after a while, he suddenly stopped, pointed at Xu You's nose, and said coldly: "Okay, I want to keep this word for you for seven days!" Not only do you have to defend it for seven days, but you also have to break the state soldiers and take Qiu Yuan's head, and when the time comes, see what else you have to say! ”
Xu You straightened up and said, "Does the general dare to gamble?" ”
"Bet on what?"
"If the general can hold on for seven days, I will not only agree to the request of the capital to sacrifice wine, write a crusade for your sect, but also tell the whereabouts of the 70 million money, as the general's reward for the army."
"What if the city is broken in seven days?"
"If the city is broken within seven days, I will still give 70 million yuan, just ask the general to release Su Tang and don't hurt her life!"
Liu Yan was slightly stunned, and said, "I still asked you to let you go......
Xu You asked rhetorically, "Is the general willing to let me go?" ”
"Can't!"
Liu Yan was also very aggrieved in his heart, Xu You's life and death were actually not controlled by him, and even by Du Mingyu, otherwise, why would he bother to talk so much to him, he would have tortured him to ask about the whereabouts of 70 million yuan.
"Yes, I don't want to die either, but the general's knife is on his neck, so he has to retreat to the second, and it is one person who can save one person!"
A look of disdain flashed in Liu Yan's eyes, for him, when he should be ruthless, he needs to be ruthless, indecisive, and a woman's kindness, how can he achieve great things? The little god is right, Xu You is certainly smart, but this weakness will be his death hole, as long as he catches it, he is a grasshopper after the autumn, and he can't jump for a few days.
"Okay, I promise!"
Liu Yan stood up, walked up to Xu You, forced his eyes, and said, "This time, if you dare to tease me again, no matter who supports you, I will cut off your head with my own hands as a tiger, and let others drown in it!" ”
Xu You nodded and said, "You send Su Tang here, seven days later, I will keep my promise!" ”
"Why, isn't a champion princess enough to play with Lang Jun?" Liu Yan showed a faint smile that only men understand, but for some reason he always showed a cold to the bone, and said: "Su Tang must be locked up elsewhere, lock you all together, I'm afraid that Lang Jun's body and bones won't be able to endure it." But you can rest assured that no one will touch her for seven days. ”
After speaking, he suddenly reached out and grabbed An Yuxiu's long hair, pressed her to her knees, her face was tightly pressed against Xu You's body, and the rapid breathing between her mouth and nose could almost spray into the indescribable place between her legs.
Xu You didn't retreat sideways, Liu Yan was moody, obviously holding An Yuxiu to spread fire, if he got out of the way, I don't know what bad things to do next.
An Yuxiu obviously understood this, so she reached out and hugged Xu You's legs, without struggling or exclaiming, her red lips seemed to be able to feel the bulging and hardness under her clothes, she was married to a wife and had been in the industry for a long time, so she naturally knew what it was, her heart trembled slightly, and her pretty face turned crimson.
"Slut! Let you serve Xu Langjun, is it still the identity of the princess, and you are unwilling to do your best? Otherwise, how could Xu Langjun think about getting along in the old days, but he didn't bother to pay attention to you? ”
Liu Yan slapped him again, An Yuxiu's pretty face was swollen, and the corners of her lips were bleeding, looking at this princess who had not even been qualified to look up before, so groveling and kneeling at her feet, he finally suppressed the violent emotions that burst out like a beast, and said lightly: "Serve Xu Langjun well tonight, don't try to deceive me, understand?" There are a lot of camp prostitutes in the military market, but if you are disobedient, I will send you to be their companion tomorrow! ”
After speaking, Liu Yan quietly made an ambiguous expression to Xu You, and then left laughing. The door slammed shut, Xu You took three steps back, turned around, and when he returned to normal, he turned around and said indifferently: "Liu Yan has ill intentions, and he wants to spoil the princess's reputation, so you don't have to take it to heart." ”
An Yuxiu lowered her head, quietly pulled her hair, pursed her red lips lightly, and couldn't see the look in her eyes, and said after a while: "Liu Yan...... In the end, Lang Jun thought, how to deal with it? ”
