Chapter 453: Yunyang is in an emergency
A military order has been issued to block Yingxi, ordering Cao Fengnian to immediately release the imprisoned government students.
Although Cao Fengnian was extremely unwilling, he could not openly disobey the governor's order, so he had to release him.
It's just that in this way, he has more hatred for Wu Wendao in his heart, and the relationship between the general army yamen and the prefect's yamen is like fire and water.
Li Qian and other students were not satisfied after being released, so they came to the prefect's yamen and knelt down for a long time, asking the prefect to make decisions for them and send troops to attack the Tartars.
Wu Wendao almost fainted.
If he can mobilize his troops, will he still need to write a letter to the governor?
At the moment, it is impossible to order Cao Fengnian to attack, and being able to hold Yunyang Mansion is the biggest victory.
He had to come forward to reassure the students and tell them that the time had not come. When the time comes, the Tartars will definitely pay for their blood debts.
But I don't know how, as soon as the bold words came out, the news came that the army led by Wu Sangui was mighty and slaughtered towards Yunyang Prefecture and Yun County.
Hearing the news, Wu Wendao was directly frightened.
What's going on, hasn't the Tartars been looting around Yunyang Mansion, how could they have the idea of attacking the city?
His mood immediately became tense. The most terrible thing is that the enemy is at present, he has to rely on the general soldier Cao Fengnian, and Cao Fengnian has just made such a big awkward trouble with him, are you willing to contribute sincerely?
It's really embarrassing to do this.
At the same time, Cao Fengnian in the General Army's Mansion was secretly cool.
Wu Wendao, Wu Wendao, there is also a time when you fall into the hands of Lao Tzu.
Now that the Tartar army is about to attack the city, who else can you rely on if you don't rely on Lao Tzu?
I want to see how long you old dog can be proud.
Of course, even now, Cao Fengnian has never thought of throwing into tartar.
Martial artists have the pride of martial artists, and if everyone is like Wu Sangui's dog thief, they will lose all the pride of martial artists.
However, Cao Fengnian decided to give Wu Wendao a good dismissal and let him know the fate of bullying the generals.
......
......
Wu Wendao personally sent someone to invite him three times, but Cao Fengnian refused to go because of illness.
Wu Wendao's face turned green with anger.
It's disgusting to know that you're being held in such a way.
But no matter how disgusted Wu Wendao is to Cao Fengnian, this head still has to be lowered.
Aren't you holding a shelf? The official will personally go and invite the head office!
Wu Wendao changed into a crimson official robe, and under the entourage of a group of relatives, he rushed towards the General Military Mansion.
The soldiers guarding the gate of the General Soldier's Mansion were also taken aback when they saw this battle, and hurriedly went to report.
Wu Wendao had to stand at the gate and wait.
After a cup of tea, the soldier went and returned, but it brought a reply that made Wu Wendao vomit blood.
"Lord General Bing is sick, and it is inconvenient to see guests, please go back to Governor Wu."
Yes, yes!
What an iron-clad Yunyang Mansion commander-in-chief.
You're deliberately reluctant to go with this official, aren't you?
"Hmph, let's go!"
Wu Wendao's old face has no place to put it. He was unwilling to be humiliated, and flicked his sleeves and walked away.
......
......
After returning to the prefect's yamen, Wu Wendao was worried, and he suddenly had a feeling of being cocooned and self-bound.
The Ming Dynasty did not define the responsibility of civil servants and military generals to defend the territory differently.
For Wenchen, defending the land was their responsibility, and there was nothing to discuss.
If the city is broken, the first person to be held accountable must be Wenchen.
If Yunyang City is broken, even if Wu Wendao escapes by luck, he will definitely be captured back to Nanjing by the Jinyi Wei Tiqi sent by the Son of Heaven, and he will not be able to escape the severed head. And if it is a military general, as long as he fights against the enemy, even if he is defeated, he can still make meritorious contributions, at least his life is worry-free.
This dead hill will not deliberately release water to let the Tartars attack Yunyang City and play himself because of this dislike with himself, right?
As soon as he thought of this, Wu Wendao felt that his scalp was numb.
That's it, that's it, it's over, and thinking about these useless things is just self-disturbing.
He can't really bow his head to a Qiu Ba, right?
......
......
After some rest, Wu Sangui has regained the posture he had come.
In his opinion, as long as he took Yunyang and made some noise, the Qing court would be able to explain.
At first, he did not plan to storm the city, but only to plunder the villages along the way.
But after seeing the Ming army's shrinking posture, he changed his mind.
If he didn't attack the city in the face of such a posture, wouldn't he lose his prestige as the first fierce general of the Qing Dynasty?
So Wu Sangui waved his hand and led his troops to attack Yunyang.
He had been in Yunyang Mansion for a while, so he had made some siege equipment.
Crashes, ladders and even simple catapults.
Of course, what Wu Sangui wants most is the red-clothed cannon.
This thing is a siege artifact, just aim at the top of the city and bombard. It won't be long before the battlements and towers on the city head will be razed, and the city gates may even be blasted open.
But now the red-clothed cannons of the Qing army are concentrated in the Tianyou army of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming. Even Wu Sangui didn't have that much face to ask for.
Therefore, he can only use some earth methods to attack the city.
This method is a bit stupid, but as long as you persist, you can still attack the city.
Wu Sangui is very confident in himself.
......
......
Looking at the black Qing army outside the city, Wu Wendao only felt that his eyes were black, and his legs and stomach were a little weak.
Mom, Wu Sangui has transferred all the main forces.
The only thing that made him feel a little relieved was that it seemed that Cao Fengnian didn't mean to play himself.
This Yunyang commander-in-chief was still measured at the time of the great enemy, and he "took ill" to the head of the city and personally commanded the defense.
It's just that Cao Fengnian didn't have any communication with Wu Wendao throughout the whole process.
After Li Qian and other students learned that Wu Sangui was going to attack Yunyang City, they petitioned Wu Wendao and asked to go to the city to help in the battle, but Wu Wendao refused without hesitation.
At this moment, he is a bag, how can he be in the mood to let a group of powerless scholars go to the city to watch the battle.
When the time comes, these scholars will not only not be able to help kill the enemy, but will also be very likely to become a burden.
In this regard, although Li Qian and the others were frustrated, there was nothing they could do.
The sound of golden drums outside the city gradually sounded, and a big battle was about to break out.
Finally, in the muffled sound of the conch trumpet, the Qing army under Wu Sangui poured towards the city wall like a tide.
When Wu Wendao had ever seen this kind of battle, he was so frightened that his legs became weak.
He swallowed a mouthful of spit, and his Adam's apple swayed up and down for a while before he cleared his throat and said, "This official will go to the city tower to watch the battle first." ”
The Qing army's attack was very layered, first using catapults to suppress the fire on the head of the city, and at the same time rushing cars and ladders approaching the city wall.
Whether it is a rushing car or a ladder, the exterior is wrapped in a thick layer of cowhide, so ordinary arrows can't hurt at all.
Cao Fengnian above the city was not in a hurry, quietly watching all this.
