Chapter 696: Burning
Under the city of Jingzhou, Li Yu stood in the army, looking at the city tower from afar.
He saw Yuan Tiangang, a person who could pinch and calculate, actually guarding Jingzhou here, which surprised him.
At the same time, the accident also made him understand that Jingzhou City was only afraid that it would be difficult to attack.
A person like Yuan Tiangang is proficient in the art of war formation, and he can also pinch and calculate, so he can endure greatly.
"His grandmother's, isn't it just a Jingzhou City, Shengshang, let's put up the ladder, and before dark, we will be able to capture Jingzhou City."
Cheng Yanjin saw that Li Yu had not given the order to attack the city for a long time, so he was a little impatient to wait, and the rest of the generals, because of their experience in attacking Hancheng, also felt that Jingzhou City was easy to attack at this time.
But Li Yu was suspicious, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "No, temporarily withdraw the troops, and come back to attack the city early tomorrow morning." ”
Li Yu seemed to have cowardice, and everyone could clearly feel it, but no one said much, because Li Yu didn't miss it much all the time.
The soldiers and horses retreated and set up camp in Wuli outside Jingzhou City.
It was still a little early, Li Yu was sitting in the big tent, and at this time, Xu Maogong walked in.
"Holy Lord, why did you give up the siege today?" Xu Maogong was a little puzzled, looked at Li Yu and asked.
Li Yu said: "Xu Aiqing, do you know who the person guarding the city is?" ”
"Yuan Tiangang, I heard that he is a heavenly master, who can pinch and calculate, such a person is the best at telling right and wrong, I heard that before Shen Tiannan ascended the throne, he calculated a hexagram in Chang'an City, saying that he wanted the Zen throne to change the sky or something, and then let the little emperor give up the throne."
This kind of method is similar to the method used by Xu Maogong in Tang Guolang to end his brother and Tang Yun Jiuchang, so Xu Maogong is a little disdainful of people like Yuan Tiangang.
Li Yu smiled, he didn't believe much in this kind of thing, after all, he was a person from the next generation, everything is a general science, but in this world, there are many things that you can't explain with science.
Some people have a hard life, and some people have a good life, what do you say?
However, Li Yu didn't say much to Xu Maogong about this, but just said, "Yuan Tiangang still has some ability, in half a day, I'm afraid I won't be able to capture Jingzhou City, we have to prepare to capture Jingzhou City in one day, so let's attack the city after dawn tomorrow." ”
When Xu Maogong heard Li Yu's words, he didn't say much.
Time passed slowly, and the night passed, and the barracks at night were calm, and the next morning, it was still the same.
Li Yu took 80,000 Tang troops to the city of Jingzhou, and when they came, Yuan Tiangang and Yuan Ziyi were already standing on the city tower.
Yuan Ziyi is going to take a look at Tang Yu in person today to see if he is the destiny of dominating the world.
And after she stood on the city tower and looked at it like this, her expression suddenly condensed slightly.
"Big brother, this Li Yu's life is so strange."
"It's strange to rule the world."
Yuan Ziyi didn't say much, she felt strange, it didn't refer to the fate, there were some other things that made her feel strange, but even she didn't understand what such a subtle feeling was, he couldn't catch it, he just felt strange.
When the two of them said this, Tang Yu had already spoken below.
"Shen Tiannan is a rebel who has no way, so why do you have to work for him? If you are willing to surrender the city, I will definitely use it to you, how about Yuan Tianshi think about it? ”
The autumn breeze in the morning was a little cool, and when Li Yu spoke, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and Yuan Tiangang was stunned for a moment before finally speaking.
"In such troubled times, how can there be no way, if you can be the Son of Heaven, there is a way, and if you come from the throne, how can it be right, but who said that you have no way?"
What Yuan Tiangang was referring to was naturally Li Yu taking advantage of the rebellion of Li Qing and others to force Li Yuan to abdicate in advance, but not many people knew the inside story, and Yuan Tiangang said this at this time, which naturally meant a hint.
When Li Yu heard this, he had some understanding of Yuan Tiangang's ability, but understanding is understanding, since he came, there was no reason to retreat.
"In that case, then wait until I break through Jingzhou City, and then come to subdue you."
As he spoke, Li Yu waved his hand.
Soon, a row of mechanical crossbows was pulled to the front by the Tang army.
"Put!"
With an order, sharp arrows rained down, and Yuan Tiangang stood on the city tower, and when he saw this kind of thing with a long range and could shoot so many sharp arrows at one time, his expression suddenly condensed.
He finally understood now that why Tang Yu's 20,000 soldiers and horses were able to completely destroy the 130,000 army of the Liang State was not only because Li Mu had a destiny to dominate the world and was lucky, but also because Li Yu was smart enough to invent all kinds of things.
With this, why worry about not getting the world?
Sharp arrows flew in, under the cover of these sharp arrows, the ladder began to approach Jingzhou City, Yuan Tiangang looked at the ladder under the city, and was stunned, this thing is very different from the ladder they saw before, in addition to being bulky, the siege is definitely a sharp weapon.
Covered by sharp arrows, soon, the ladder was fixed under the city, and the Tang army, without hesitation, immediately flew in.
Yuan Tiangang frowned, and immediately gathered soldiers and horses.
"Stop them!"
At the sound of an order, the Qi soldiers immediately used boulders and rolling logs to intercept the Tang army, but although these things were useful, it was a little impossible to completely stop the Tang army.
The Tang army continued to enter the palace, but only slowly.
Seeing that the Qi soldiers were about to be unable to stop the Tang army.
But at this time, Yuan Tiangang suddenly ordered again, "Go and bring the fire." ”
The fire guide is something unique to Yuan Tiangang, and after he gave this order, someone immediately ran up with two barrels of black paint.
"Splash!"
The greasy thing splashed directly towards the ladder, and then, I saw Yuan Tiangang pop out two things from his hand, and after these two things flew in, they directly ignited the entire ladder.
In just a few moments, the ladder burst into flames, with a rumbling sound, and completely shattered.
The two ladders are gone.
Among the Tang Army, they were shocked, they couldn't believe that this was true, what was that thing just now, it could actually burn the cloud ladder? The ladder is not something that can't be burned, it's all made of wood, of course it can be burned, but it's just that an ordinary fire wants to burn the ladder, but it's not easy, it takes a lot of effort to ignite the wood, and the Tang Army will also remove the torch, so although the ladder is wood, it doesn't really need to be too much
Fear that the enemy will burn with fire.
But Yuan Tiangang poured some liquid, and then with a flick of his hand, he burned their ladder?
Shocked, Tang Jun was faintly a little terrified at this time, I had heard that Yuan Tiangang was very powerful, and he could catch the kneeling spirits, but when I saw it today, it was really so. The ladder was gone, the Tang army could not attack the city, and many Tang troops were even burned to death by the fire and turned into ashes, and the fire seemed to be very powerful.
