Chapter 121: Under the city of Yexian
Xue Rengui's garrison was not far from Yexian, and when Xue Rengui received the order to go out, he immediately organized his headquarters with 80,000 soldiers and horses, and quickly slaughtered Yexian.
After Hong Xiuquan and others captured Yexian, they managed Yexian for more than a month. Under the governance of Li Xiucheng, Hong Renji and others, Yexian and Jiaozhou were governed in an orderly manner, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
The letter that Ren Yi told the world, Hong Xiuquan also received. After reading the letter, Hong Xiuquan gathered everyone together.
Ladies and gentlemen, I think everyone knows the contents of the letter. The family must kill us all. On the lord's side, he has been besieged and killed by Liu Wei, the combined forces of foreign races and families, and the situation is not optimistic.
Moreover, I have just received a secret report that Liu Wei has sent a powerful general, Xue Rengui, with 100,000 soldiers and horses, to kill us.
Everyone knows that Xue Rengui is a general under the puppet Han, who has reached the peak of civil and military affairs, and the Xue family army under his command is a genuine elite army, not comparable to the combat effectiveness of the miscellaneous defenders.
In this battle, we are at a disadvantage. Don't look at us, we have 230,000 strong, but the comprehensive quality is very different from the Xue family's army, and Yangzhou is the base camp of the pseudo-Han Liu Bian, they have a steady stream of soldiers, horses, and grain and grass supplies, we only have these 200,000 strong, and the lord's side is beyond the reach of the whip.
Heavenly King, the brothers are ready to fight to the death. We may not have enough combat effectiveness, but we must fight the bloody nature of our army.
Heavenly King, General Yucheng is right, as long as they dare to come, I will fight them to the end!
Good! Brothers, since this is the case, let's be ready to fight at any time. I reckon this should be the last battle of our lives.
No, the king!
After the military meeting, Hong Xiuquan went to the bedroom and took out a parchment roll. The parchment scroll reads, Yellow Turban Army Ru Nanan, Qu Shuai, He Man, Deputy Qu Shuai, He Yi, the first team of captains, Gong Du, deputy captains, Liu Pi. It has a total of 40,000 thousand believers, including Qianfu, Hong Xiuquan, Shi Dakai, Chen Yucheng, Zhang Baiqi, Ran Min, Xia Luqi, Zhang Niujiao, Yu Poison, and Qingzhuang.
Brothers, this battle, I, Hong Xiuquan, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it. I don't know, any of you will come and pick me up on my way.
Report! Just as Hong Xiuquan was secretly sad, a henchman soldier broke in.
The Heavenly King, the army of the puppet Han Dynasty, has already arrived in the city, and the black pressure is oppressive, I am afraid that there are 100,000 people, and all of them are the elites of a hundred battles who have seen blood.
I see, you go down.
No, the king of heaven.
Hong Xiuquan slowly pulled out the iron sword at his waist, and gently stroked it with his hand: Old man, this battle, I'm afraid it will be the last time you will be out of the sheath. You will accompany the old man and drink the blood of the thief again.
After speaking, Hong Xiuquan stopped ink and strode towards the city tower.
Heavenly King, you are finally here, the enemy under the city, this time, Wanzhen feels, it is difficult to deal with.
Brothers, are you scared?
Heavenly King, we are not afraid, we swear to fight to the death and the pseudo-Han thief army to the end!
Well, that's good. Those hypocrites of the family, press
It's not a day or two since we have been forcing the common people, and besides, these hypocrites are not in a bloody debt. This time, I, Hong Xiuquan, desperately don't want my life, but also gnaw a piece of meat on their bodies!
Well said! I, Li Xiucheng, originally had the opportunity to be investigated and promoted as an official, but I was born as a civilian, my elder brother, who was bullied to death by the royal family. In a fit of rage, I gave up the opportunity to be examined and joined the rebels. Along the way, the King of Heaven and I have killed many thieves who have brought harm to the people. So, now it's for me to let Li Xiucheng die, and I'm blind.
Husband is right! My red lady, swear to live and die with Yexian!
Good! Then I, Hong Xiuquan, will be a hypocrite under the city for a while!
Under the city, the vanguard general Liu Ting shouted to the defenders on the city tower, I am the vanguard general Liu Ting under the command of General Han Xue! If you know each other, you should quickly open the city and surrender, otherwise, after the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs!
Hong Xiuquan snorted coldly and said, you hypocrites don't want to be ashamed here! We, the Taiping Army, have no misbreeds. If you have the courage, let the horses come!
I don't know how to lift! In that case, be prepared to die!
After speaking, the Han army retreated about a house, set up camp on the spot, buried pots and cooked food, and built siege equipment by the way.
Heavenly King, should we make a wave of these hypocrites?
Forget it, I think the garrison of the puppet Han army is very tight, and we may not be able to do it if we want to take advantage of the loopholes.
In the Han army camp, Xue Rengui paced slowly in the main camp tent.
It's really funny, these Taiping thieves are so stinky and hard, it's really a long skill. However, do you really want to try to stop my Xue Rengui's military front? You can rest assured, I, Xue Rengui, will definitely give you an unforgettable lesson.
Boss, the brothers have eaten and rested, and the siege equipment has been built, can we attack the city?
Well, since that's the case, then, the whole army is on the offensive!
Boom, there was a earth-shattering sound from under the city.
The Heavenly King, the puppet Han thief army, is now beginning to siege the city.
Well, I see, have all the equipment for defending the city been prepared?
The king of heaven can rest assured that the stones, rolling wood, and gold juice are all in place.
Well, very well, tell the brothers, keep an eye on the thief for me, be ready at any time, and give me a hard shot back!
No, the king!
At this time, the sky is also very suitable for the scene, the dark clouds are dense, the autumn wind is swaying, adding a bit of solemn atmosphere, it can be said that the black clouds are pressing the city and want to destroy, the armor light is open to the sun, and the horn is full of autumn colors, stuffed with swallow fat and night purple. The banner is displayed in the city, and the frost is heavy and the cold is silent.
Although it is not a side plug here, the suffocating killing intention is no worse than that of the plug. The big war is about to break out.
