Chapter 35: Tragedy (I)

Jiyin City

"What's going on in Licheng, I don't know if the prince and they have fought with the rebels. It's been a few days, and the people who went to inquire about the news haven't come back yet, if it weren't for the rebels surrounding Licheng, I would have wanted to rush to support with 20,000 or 30,000 people. Hey~" Du Ruhui said with a sigh. If he dealt with internal affairs, he would definitely not be so entangled, although he added the title of Sima of the Prince's Mansion, but he would only deal with the management of personnel and grain and grass, and it was definitely not his forte at leading troops to fight.

"Yes, it's a pity that there are not many talents available in the hands of the prince, otherwise there is no need to be so passive, it seems that after this war, we have to hurry up to search for talents for the prince." Fang Xuanling said that he, the head of the prince's mansion, is also withered in his hands, and there is no personnel to manage and transfer.

In just two sentences, Yang Yong's biggest weakness now is that if there is no talent, then he will not be able to strengthen his own strength.

"Are we just going to sit back and die? It's really aggrieved, why don't I have the ability to immediately assist the main master to fight the world, and the horse can rule the world. Now I won't even take the robbery, Keming, you have at least served as a county lieutenant, how can it be like me, hey~" Fang Xuanling was also anxious, but there was no way, the situation was urgent, and he couldn't go with the army to help Licheng.

"Okay, let's make plans when the people who inquire about the news come back, it's not a way for those twenty or thirty thousand horses to stay in Jiyin City like this." Yang Jun asked the troops mobilized from Henan Province to Zhujun to Jibei to be commanded by Du Ruhui, who was in charge of military affairs, and at first almost did not obey the command of Du Ruhui, a seemingly weak scribe, but who is Du Ruhui, it is a famous appearance through the ages, and it is not a matter of minutes to clean up this gang of soldiers and ruffians, and sure enough, Du Ruhui only took one day to let them obediently listen to the command.

"Report, report Lord Sima, there is a big battle going on in Licheng, and the road has been blocked by the rebels, so we can't get close at all, but it seems that the scale is very large." Feihong's men and horses inquired about the situation and came back to report

"Huge?" Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui quickly glanced at each other, could it be that the prince's plan had been carried out, but I don't know if Li Jing and they are also advancing as planned?

Beihai County

"Report to the general, the scene has been cleaned up, and no one has escaped." Qin Shubao said to Li Jing, just now he led people to explore the road in front and encountered a small group of rebels, but he wiped out that group of rebels with just one face.

"Well, good, our mission this time is very important and dangerous, not to be taken lightly, you did a good job, now is not the time for us to be exposed." Li Jing watched Qin Shubao handle everything in an orderly manner and said with satisfaction

"We must find the rebels' lair and deliver a fatal blow to complete the plan in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, I'm afraid the situation on the prince's side is not optimistic. ”

"You have also seen along the way, the rebels in Beihai County are not large, but they are widely distributed." Li Jing led these 3,000 men and horses to not go far before they encountered a group, if they saw a group in normal combat, they would destroy a group, but now they are on a secret mission, if they destroy all the rebels they meet, then the rebels in Beihai will know that there must be a force operating in Beihai County, maybe the rebels will be on guard, so it will be even more inconvenient for their actions. Of course, there are times when there is no way to avoid it, as just now.

"Yes, my subordinates understand." Qin Shubao responded

"We don't have much food and grass, we must find the rebels' nest and bring it to us before the food and grass are exhausted, otherwise we can't find it when the food and grass are all used up, and we will have to risk being exposed to get food."

"I think that the nest of the rebels should be in the vicinity of Changbai Mountain, which is the place where Wang Bo has been operating for a long time, and it is not far from Licheng and Cheng, and Changbai Mountain can completely supply the military supplies of the rebel army. It's just that how we can approach Changbai Mountain is a problem, and the more we get to Changbai Mountain, the easier it is to be exposed. Li Jing analyzed

"General, can we pretend to be rebels and approach Changbai Mountain." A lieutenant in command spoke out his advice.

"Your suggestion is theoretically feasible. But~" Li Jing suddenly paused and continued, "Is everyone a knight's rebel army?" The rebels are not fools either, then we will be exposed faster. But it's good that you can think of that, do other people have good opinions? Li Jing began to guide the captains to express their opinions, because Yang Xuan said that we should try our best to explore the independent thinking of the generals in the army, not so that all of them can become talents, but at least let them consciously think about the problem comprehensively.

Licheng

The sound of shouting and killing, the sound of rolling stones and wood, the sound of arrows breaking through the sky and the sound of ** converged in the sky above Licheng, roaring mercilessly and taking countless lives.

"Report~, Lord Wang, the rebels on the west city wall are attacking fiercely, we can't stop it, ask for support from the prince." Because the west camp was picked by Yang Xuan, it is now completely revengeful, all of them are extremely fierce, and they climb to the city wall desperately, and the defenders of the west city wall can't resist it, and they see that the rebels are about to enter the city.

"What! Isn't there more than 10,000 defenders on the western city wall, how could it be so quickly unable to hold it?! Yang Xuan said angrily, 10,000 people defend the city, and it will take at least 50,000 or 60,000 to dare to attack the city, and it may not be able to succeed in capturing the city.

"Han Qiang!"

"Here!"

"What does the prince command?"

"Are you going to go into battle?"

Han Qiang knew that Yang Yun didn't let them participate in the defense of the city, so he should have left them to deal with the emergency. Hundreds of people were already enthusiastic, but they didn't get Yang Yong's life.

"Take your personal guards, go to the west city wall to curb the rebels' offensive, and defend the city wall for me, if you can't defend it, you don't have to come back!"

"Yes, I promise to defend the walls to the death." Han Qiang assured.

"The guards are all coming with me, it's time for them to see the power of our guards again, it seems that they haven't been scared last time, this time let them tremble when they think of our guards in the future!" Han Qiang said as he ran towards the West City Gate with his personal guards.

By the time they reached the western wall, the rebels had opened a gap in the wall, and there were mountains of corpses and blood flowing all over the place, while the rebels behind them were pouring up the city through siege engines. In the face of the rebels' offensive, although the defenders of the city swore to resist to the death, the rebels were really desperate to attack, so they had to retreat step by step.

"Guards~"

"I'm invincible!"

"What the blade is pointing at~"

"Invincible!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!! ”

The guards roared angrily, and rushed into the chaos like a wild dragon like a sea. When the soldiers defending the city heard the slogan of the guards, they automatically gave way because they had seen the strength of the guards and knew that the attack of the rebels could only be stopped by the two elites in Yang Jun's hands.

Han Qiang took the lead and led the guards to collide with the rebels, and bursts of blood mist were raised wherever the guards passed. The guards were nothing more than a head harvester, mercilessly slaughtering the rebels, unrivaled wherever they passed.

"Brothers, the pro-guard army has come to our aid, let's go up together and defeat the rebels!" Suddenly, a man shouted

"Kill!"

"Drive the rebels down!"

"Avenge the brothers! ~”

The long-suppressed defenders of the city were reinvigorated by the arrival of their own guards.

"Devils, they are devils!"

"It's them, it's they who broke our camp, they're not people, they're not people!"

"Ahh Shura is here, everyone run! ”

The rebels soon recognized the Guards as the ones who caused their nightmares and continued to run for their lives, and the frenzy of the Guards was erased in an instant, leaving them with endless fear.

"Kill, don't leave a single one!" Han Qiang roared, this time he must beat them and make them change color when they talk about the guards.

The guards were stained with blood, as dazzling as a red dragon shuttling through the black sea, and the blood mist was like the waves they were playing.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the rebels who had attacked the western wall were killed. The rebels who had not yet reached the top of the city were constantly retreating. The momentum of the retreat could not be stopped even by the rebel commanders, and the battle on the western city wall was still fierce just now, and it subsided at once, and it came so suddenly. Only corpses were left all over the ground, rolling stones and wood, swords, guns, swords and sticks scattered all over the ground, and the condition was extremely miserable, it was like a purgatory on earth.

This is true not only of the western wall, but also of the rest of the walls, and the rebels can be said to be stepping on the corpses of their comrades to attack the city. A strong smell of blood permeated the entire city.

"Is this the Shura army in the mouth of the bouts of the Western Battalion?! It's amazing! It's no wonder that I can dare to go straight to the West Battalion, which has the strictest defense and the most soldiers, if I choose my North Battalion, maybe the outcome will not be much better. The commander of the Peking Battalion thought in his heart, and there seemed to be a chill on his neck, and he unconsciously touched his neck. And now he is also the commander of the Western Battalion, such a situation undoubtedly slapped him in the face.

"Go, tell the marshal, I'm afraid the battle on the west city wall has stopped, there is no counterattack, and those rabbit cubs are so stuffy that their courage should be broken. Let the marshal also be careful of the Sui soldiers' troops, otherwise they will suffer a big loss. He instructed a herald Xiaoqi to report the situation and tell Wang Bo not to underestimate the enemy.

"Yes!" The little flag hurried to deliver the news

"Order, slow down the offensive of the northern city wall, don't force them too hard, otherwise there will be no good fruit to eat." After thinking for a while, he turned to another Xiaoqi and said

"Yes!" A smoke trot

"This battle is estimated to be difficult to fight, it seems that our army will not be able to attack the course before the arrival of several other allied forces."

The offensive on the western walls stopped, and the offensive on the northern walls slowed down. Of course, the commander of the southern battalion is not a fool, he also slowed down the offensive, he thought that the western and northern battalions were retaining their strength.

Only the offensive at the East City Gate was as fierce as ever, and of course the morale of the defenders had been high, and the battle situation was still intertwined, and not an inch of land was conceded.

"M's, what are they eating, they haven't even touched the city wall for so long, when will they be able to climb the city wall, when will they be able to attack Licheng?"

"Bang Dang~"

Wang Bo was furious in the camp, grabbed the wine cup and threw it away.

Do you really have to wait for those few to get a piece of the pie? What are they, can they compare with me with those tens of thousands of horses, let them come just to let them witness my strength, hum~"

"Order, pull me up the trebuchet, smash me hard, smash them to death." Wang Bo said with a hideous face

"Report ~ report to the marshal, the commander of the Beida battalion sent someone to convey the news."

"Let him in." As he spoke, he sat down in the handsome seat

"Yes, come in." One of the guards shouted out of the tent

"The little one has seen the big handsome." When Xiaoqi saw Wang Bo, he immediately knelt down

"Tell me, what's going on." Wang Bo asked with a condescending expression.

"Answer Shuai, the commander of my battalion asked the small one to tell the big marshal that the offensive on the west city wall was contained, and the Sui soldiers dispatched the Shura troops, and the people in the western camp were all frightened, let me remind the big marshal to be careful of the mysterious troops on the other side." The little flag said tremblingly, for fear of being slaughtered by Wang Bo.

"Fart!" Wang stood up suddenly. "Obviously you don't have the ability, and you said that you are looking for some excuse, tell him, give me to continue the siege, you can't stop the attack without my order, let alone retreat, otherwise, he knows what to do, get out!" Wang Bo roared angrily

"Yes, yes, the little one is going back to the commander." The little flag rolled and climbed.

"Order the trebuchet to smash me, smash !! hard"
