Chapter 70: The siege of the lonely city is long

Yuncheng. He Ying's eyes were red, and he hadn't closed his eyes for two days and two nights.

At this moment, he was still vigorous and patrolling the city on the earthy yellow city.

There is a layer of transparent ice on the city wall, which is slippery everywhere, and if you are not careful, you will fall, He Ying held down the long knife at his waist and walked on the top of the city one by one. When I looked outside, I saw the overlapping tents, and I couldn't see the edges at a glance. Smoke from the cooking, like a hand, stretched out into the sky.

Winter is not a good time to siege the city, under the onslaught of the left camp the day before yesterday, the city wall was damaged badly, He Ying did not have time to repair it, and there were not enough people to repair it, he simply poured water on the city wall, and the city wall was frozen solid after a long time. Let the left army have no way to start.

In fact, splashing water is not friendly to the city wall, after all, the city wall at this time is adobe wall, and after the spring thaws, the city wall must be repaired, otherwise it will be a lot softer.

It's just that for He Ying, he feels that he can stand up for a day, it is a day. I don't think about anything that takes too long at all, and after the beginning of spring, who this Yuncheng belongs to, I don't know.

To some extent, He Ying also has to thank Zuo Liangyu.

Zuo Liangyu is so famous that he can almost stop children from crying. The same is true for the people of the city.

He Ying, as the defender of Yuncheng, said that he did not feel the turbulence of the dark tide in the city, it would be wrong. But even if he felt it, he had to pretend that he didn't notice it.

I have to say that the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty have been lost among the people, but the hearts of the people among the gentry are still there, and in the absence of a crisis, these people are all in peace. But as soon as they encountered something, they connected one after another, fortunately, most of He Ying's subordinates were Baofeng's disciples who followed him, they were his fellow villagers, and they were of the same heart as him, with the support of these disciples, He Ying could barely grasp the situation in the city. But these unpredictable people have become the climate, if they are not afraid of the military discipline of Zuo Liangyu's department, they are worried that even after surrendering, they may not be able to get any benefits, but they will be unloaded and killed. There was no dedication to the city.

This is also the reason why He Ying did not dare to let Minfu go to the city.

In case these people are not real people, wouldn't they raise their hands on the city wall for people?

He vaguely regretted it in his heart, regretted sending someone to ask for help, the survival of Yuncheng was no longer in his hands at the moment, not how long he held out, but when Zuo Liangyu and the gentry in the city would be able to gain trust.

He Ying secretly said in his heart: "I was entrusted by the king to guard the city. You can't stop halfway. Even if I can't keep it, I will keep it until I die. His eyes were red, and he said to a person next to him: "Chen Xiucai, have you decided?" This time, you must be dead or alive. ”

This Chen Xiucai, with a square scarf on his head, although his body is wrapped in layers of clothes, he looks very bloated, and he has chilblains on his face and hands, but as long as he stops wherever he goes, he has the temperament of a scholar. Even if he hunted the cold wind to eat, he didn't avoid it at all, in the cold wind, he bowed down and said: "My family died at the hands of Zuo Liangyu, the adults gave me this opportunity, I am too late to be grateful, how can I regret it?" Please rest assured, I will live up to your trust. ”

He Ying glanced at Chen Xiucai, and he didn't know how true what he said, but Chen Xiucai's experience was not fake.

"There you go." He Ying couldn't bend down because of his armor, so he could only salute for a half and said, "I thank Mr. on behalf of the soldiers of the city." ”

Left in the camp.

The large tent of several zhang square circle is covered by layers of thick blankets, in the big tent, there are dozens of braziers burning, in the big tent, although it is not warm as spring, but it also makes people feel too cold.

In the big tent, a tiger skin was spread on the chair, and Zuo Liangyu sat on the chair, with a sense of tiger and tiger. And a young man wrapped in a cloak and standing behind Zuo Liangyu, there is some similarity with Zuo Liangyu's appearance, he is Zuo Liangyu's son, Zuo Mengeng.

Zuo Liangyu is actually not young anymore, he is not much different in age from Luo Rucai, and when he is marching and fighting, he gradually feels tired. Therefore, he took his son with him, which also meant cultivation.

At this moment, Zuo Liangyu already secretly had a trace of other meaning in his heart, he regarded the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command as the most important property of his Zuo family, and he wanted to pass him on to his son. However, his son is quite different from Zuo Liangyu, how can you say it? Even if Zuo Liangyu is old, he is still an old handsome guy. But Zuo Mengeng is different, his face is still beautiful, but he ruined everything with a fat. His body was fat, and his originally delicate eyebrows became hideous.

Zuo Liangyu ruled the army very strictly.

Fang Guoan, Jin Shenghuan, Chang Guoan, and others were silent, as if they were sitting in danger, Zuo Liangyu didn't make a sound, and no one below dared to come forward. Only in the brazier, the sound of the flame burning silently.

"It's just a small city in Yuncheng, and I have been attacking it for two days in a row, but I can't attack it, do you think my treasure knife is old?" Zuo Liangyu said.

"The last general will not dare, but the head of the city is not an ordinary thief, but from the camp old thief, very brave, and the weather is cold, the thieves splash the city wall with water, the wall is as strong as iron, it is not that the subordinates do not do their best, but this Yuncheng is really a hard bone. Please also ask the general to be clear. ”

"General Mingjian, please."

For a while, the generals said one after another.

"Hmph." Zuo Liangyu snorted.

The generals were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak for a while, as if they wanted to swallow everything they had said.

"Do you mean I'm wrong?" Zuo Liangyu said slowly.

"The last general will not dare." There was a loud roar of armor, and no one in the tent dared to stand.

"It's okay if you don't dare, I don't care what the reason is, I'll give you another three days, and if you don't break the city within three days, you will come and see you." Zuo Liangyu said.

"Yes." If the generals do not agree, they must also agree.

After Zuo Liangyu sent the generals out, Zuo Mengeng asked: "Dad, didn't you say that you want to break the city from the inside and outside, why do you urge them to attack the city?" ”

"Remember, never let anyone below get to the bottom of your mind. He must be made to feel your authority at all times. Zuo Liangyu taught Zuo Mengeng's experience in unifying the army, but Zuo Liangyu looked at Zuo Menggeng's confused little eyes and lost his interest in teaching.

Zuo Liangyu is a native of Linqing, Shandong, because of the war in Shandong, the family moved to Xuzhou, but the Xuzhou mutiny, Zuo Liangyu's family was killed, and only Zuo Mengeng was left. If it weren't for the fact that there was no one else in the Zuo family, Zuo Liangyu would have kicked this piece of rotten wood away a long time ago.

He really didn't want to give more pointers, and said, "Call that Chen Xiucai to come over." ”

"Yes." Zuo Mengeng said.

After a while, Chen Xiucai came, and as soon as he saw Zuo Liangyu, he knelt on the ground, kneeled forward and said, "Dashuai, please send troops to break the city quickly." The thieves slaughtered the gentry in the city, and did all kinds of evil. Please also ask the commander to avenge the people after breaking the city. ”

Chen Xuanxiu fell to the ground, kowtowing desperately, and his cry didn't seem to be fake.

Zuo Liangyu stepped forward and helped him up and said, "It's okay, please talk about it carefully." ”

Zuo Liangyu suddenly felt Chen Xiucai's crying immediately stopped, and a sharp thing was inserted directly into his stomach, Zuo Liangyu was half a horse, even if he was old, he reacted much faster than ordinary people, and flew up with a kick, making Chen Xiucai kick away.

Chen Xiucai slammed into the brazier, and immediately knocked a brazier away, slamming it heavily on the ground, and for a while, countless flames were like scattered flowers from the heavenly maiden, all over the sky.

Seeing this, Zuo Liangyu's guards were immediately shocked, and they didn't care about the damage of the flames, rushed up, and pressed Chen Xiucai to the ground, and then the others began to extinguish the flames.

For a while, there was a feeling of scorched fur in the big tent.

"Why did you kill me?" Zuo Liangyu restrained his anger and said.

"Who doesn't know where you Zuo Liangyu has passed, there is not a single grass left, I would rather defend the city for thieves than let you enter the city, I only hate me for not being able to do a big thing, but Zuo Liangyu, don't be complacent, even if I am under Jiuquan, I have to wait, I am waiting for you to come down." Chen Xiucai said.

"Pull it down, split the corpses of the five horses, and hang the head." Zuo Liangyu said.
