Chapter 336: Troops Attack Yangzhou
7 net disappearance of the second night. In the city of Yangzhou.
The road leading to the head of the city is full of all kinds of city defense equipment, rolling wood, rolling stones, and a large iron pot is erected every hundred steps, and the pot is boiling with hot tung oil.
The battlements and the enemy platform were full of people. The soldiers of the Dragon Warrior Army, with torches in hand, were watching closely outside the dark city, and although they could not see anything, they still did not want to miss any clues, and the soldiers with spears in their hands marched by in an orderly manner. Feng Qiudao has been in command of the Longwu Army for two years, he was born in Jiangmen, since he was a child, he was stationed at the border with his father, and he was exposed to it, Feng Qiudao was quite experienced in training and commanding the troops, and under his strict training, the Longwu Army has become the most elite army in the Chinese Dynasty. Although the number is inferior to the Shence Army. There are many Shenwu troops. But in terms of elite, the Dragon Martial Army is a few points stronger than all armies.
The soldiers stationed at the west gate of Yangzhou were a different story.
They are the local garrison of Yangzhou, and relatively speaking, they are much worse than the Longwu army in terms of morale, equipment, and combat power.
They sat down in groups of three and two, some dozing, some sighing, and some whispering that the generals had nothing to do. They were pulled out to patrol the city so late, but they didn't even know who the enemy was or where they were.
Feng Qiudao patrolled along the city wall for a week, looking at the local garrison in Yangzhou that was demoralized, and couldn't help but sigh.
Proudly pressing his sword and stepping into the arrow tower above the east city gate, Feng Qiudao sat down on a slightly old chair.
Xiao Huaiyuan and Wen Sen were also in the arrow tower, I don't know what they were whispering, when they saw Feng Qiudao coming in, the two looked at each other and didn't speak again.
"Two adults, the morale of the Yangzhou garrison is not good, I'm afraid it's a little bad." Feng Qiudao frowned deeply.
Xiao Huaiyuan is the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission. It is said that Fang Zheng is not there, and he should be the leader among the three. But Xiao Huaiyuan didn't understand this military battle, so he gave up the position of the second child very interestingly, and Feng Qiudao commanded it.
Master Fang Zhengfang has said more than once that there is a specialization in the art industry, and it is most taboo for laymen to lead insiders, and the chef stir-fry vegetables no matter how good they are. Even if he is the god of food, if you ask him to teach the tailor to make clothes, can he do a good job?
Xiao Huaiyuan didn't dare to disobey Fang Zheng's words, even if Fang Zheng didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he didn't dare to be disobedient. He was really scared of Fang Zheng, if he came back and found that this deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, who didn't know anything, was commanding the soldiers of the Long Wu Army, pretending to be an expert to teach others to fight, Fang Zheng would be so angry that he would have to hack him alive.
Before the battle, Lord Fang had not done this, and more than once, Xiao Huaiyuan had just become an official, and he didn't want to touch the moldy head of the first important minister in the court.
Wen Sen sneered for a moment, and asked hesitantly: "General Feng, uh, the lower official said something offensive, first, you didn't get any information, and second, you didn't see any abnormal troop and horse movements in my territory, why are you so sure that the King of Thailand will come to attack Yangzhou?" At present, the four gates of Yangzhou City are closed, the people are panicking, and there is a lot of noise everywhere, is this too much fuss? ”
Xiao Huaiyuan didn't speak, but a pair of eyes were also firmly fixed on Feng Qiudao, obviously he had the same doubts.
Feng Qiudao's face was cold and hard, and he raised his resolute chin and looked up at the night outside the city in the distance. After being silent for a long time, he suddenly said with a faint sad tone: "A man's intuition."
Jiang Huaiyuan. Vinson's head is full of black lines:
The two of them were very sorry in their hearts, Lord Fang was simply a scourge, what a bold and upright man General Feng was before, this trip to Jiangnan. It's only been a few days with Master Fang, and General Feng has become as slippery as him."
After coming back to his senses, Feng Qiudao smiled apologetically at the two. Said: "It is difficult to explain the use of soldiers for a while. Ben Jiang was thinking yesterday, since the former prefect Xu Shou was ordered by Lord Fang to be beheaded in front of the people of Yangzhou, the people's hearts seem to be gradually warming up, and they were pulled back step by step by Lord Fang. Taking advantage of the great opportunity of Lord Fang's disappearance, two adults, if you are replaced by a concubine, will you take the opportunity to raise troops to attack Yangzhou? .
Xiao Huaiyuan and Wen Sen were thoughtful when they heard this. Then he nodded slowly.
Feng Qiudao smiled, and continued: "Yangzhou is located in the east of the capital, bordering the Yangtze River in the south, the Jiangbei Plain in the north, and the sea in two days in the east, and in the rich Jiangnan with abundant grains. Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, money and food are abundant, there is no shortage of soldiers, how can the king of Thailand not take such an important place? Therefore, I judge that the king of Thailand will use troops in Yangzhou, two adults, Yangzhou, can't lose! If the king of Thailand occupies Yangzhou, his influence among the people will spread like a plague quickly, and when he is the lord of Yangzhou, he will rise to the heights and raise his arms, and thousands of people and refugees fleeing the famine will not become his subordinates? At that time, the military disaster may extend the entire Chinese Dynasty."
Xiao Huaiyuan and Wen Sen jumped together when they heard this, not to mention that they didn't know, it turned out that if the King of Thailand occupied Yangzhou, the impact would be so great. They suddenly felt the pressure on their shoulders grow heavier.
Xiao Huaiyuan arched his hand towards Feng Qiudao and said, "General Feng, thanks to your reminder, we only knew the danger of this matter, but fortunately, General Feng saw the opportunity quickly and closed the city gate in time." Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Feng Qiudao looked at the local garrison of Yangzhou on the west city wall, the soldiers were lazily yawning weakly after the arrow exercise, he couldn't help frowning, and a little worry appeared in his eyes: "The Yangzhou garrison is actually like this, if the shogun king comes to attack the city, I am really worried that it will not be able to hold it." ”
Vincent also glanced sideways. Then he sighed: "It would be nice if Lord Fang was here." He always seemed to have a solution to all difficulties. At this time, I don't know where Lord Fang is, the emperor has already sent three orders to inquire about Lord Fang's news, alas, once this battle is over, if Lord Fang doesn't show up, I
The three of them looked depressed and shook their anger.
The sound of beating the watch was very clear in the silent night.
Three more. When people are most tired. The local garrison, who was dozing behind the arrow battlements of the western city wall, yawned as if they had heard a hypnotic command.
"What the fuck don't let people sleep?" Yesterday, it was said that there might be anti-thieves attacking the city, and Lao Tzu stood at the head of this city wall. Not a single feather of the thief was to be seen. Do you think the top is taking us for amusement? One soldier muttered discontentedly.
"Shhhh Shut up! Don't want to live? This is the order of Feng Qiudao, the general of the Longwu Army from the capital, and the people are full of food? Such a big general, as for entertaining you rammer? What's wrong with being sick? You didn't see the Longwu Army at the head of the east city wall, people are called elite, no matter if there is an enemy or not, people stand there motionless, just like a clothes pole. It's like our rabble,"
"Damn, what's wrong with the capital?" One-on-one fight. It's not necessarily us who loses
Suddenly, a soldier standing between the arrows patted his robe and said in a somewhat nervous tone: "Hey, don't fucking talk nonsense!." What's that shiny thing out there?
"What's bright?" The two soldiers patted the dust on the **, got up and squinted out.
I saw that outside the city wall, a ball of fire flickered in the dark night, it was extremely dazzling, and the speed of the fire was very fast, it was originally just a small fire point, but in the blink of an eye, it became bigger and bigger, closer and closer, like a meteorite smashed straight towards the city wall.
Soon. The flame flew over the city wall and fell in a parabolic shape, illuminating half of the wall. It also illuminated the scorching heat of the frightened faces of the soldiers, as if a curse from hell, and smashed into the gathered crowd.
"Flint! It's a flint thrown by a car." A terrified scream pierced the silence of the night.
As soon as he finished speaking, the flint had already smashed into the arrow stacks of the city wall, making a loud roar. Even the earth seemed to tremble and shake, and rubble flew with it. More than a dozen soldiers who stood close were smashed on the spot, and their deaths were extremely miserable.
The loud bang alarmed all the soldiers defending the city, and soon. The shrill sound of gongs rang out, echoing in the silence of the night.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Alert! Get ready to defend the city! ”
In the sound of the warning, dense locust-like flints appeared in the sky outside the city, like the grim smile of death, quickly scraping a dazzling arc in the night sky. Smashed at the walls mercilessly.
On the plain outside the city walls, tens of thousands of rebels in black armor held swords and guns, and stared coldly at Yangzhou City, a prosperous city that would soon become their first trophy
"How far is it from Xuji Town?" Fang Zheng knocked on the wooden wall of the carriage dissatisfiedly.
Outside the car curtain, Yang Quan, who was driving the car, came with a somewhat flattering voice: "It's not far away, Lord Fang, you can wait a little longer, you can arrive in half a pillar of incense in an hour."
"It doesn't matter how long I wait. But Miss Han couldn't wait. I coughed up blood again, hey. I said, can you hurry up? Human life is at stake! Fang Zheng's voice was a little anxious.
Yang Quan hurriedly threw a whip at the horse pulling the cart. "Lord Fang, it's not okay if it's too fast, Miss Han is suffering from internal injuries. If the road is too bumpy, I am afraid that her injury will be aggravated even more, and the small one is also for her sake."
Fang Zheng sighed with a sad face, damn! It's a mess! You can't be fast, you can't be slow, it's hard to die! It's all to blame for Ye Minzhi, after curing Fu Yizhen, Lao Tzu had to peel off a layer of skin from him!
Thinking about it. Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel angry again. A cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes that were not serious.
As if sensing the murderous aura emanating from Fang Zheng's body, Han Yizhen, who was leaning in his arms, suddenly frowned, as if he was enduring great pain. The appearance of weakness and helplessness makes people feel pity.
After a while, Fang Zheng suddenly knocked on the wall of the car and said loudly: "Stop!" Stop the car! ”
Yang Quan hurriedly reined in the horse, "My lord, what's wrong?"
Fang Zheng lifted the curtain, jumped out of the car, and took a deep breath. Yang Quan looked at him curiously. I don't know what this adult who always acts beyond people's expectations wants to do.
I peed and ran into a small forest on the side of the road.
In the faint moonlight. Fang Zheng pulled open his trouser belt, and a bubble of urgent and hot urine was released, Fang Zheng closed his eyes, sighed comfortably, and suddenly heard a passage from the grass not far away beside him. Hey. sounded, looking extremely surprised.
Fang Zheng trembled with fright. In the wilderness, in the blackened woods, there were still human voices, Fang Zheng suddenly felt creepy, and the cold hairs on his whole body stood up. Even the urge to urinate that had been held back for a long time shrank back,
Don't think about it. Fang Zheng lifted his pants and turned around and ran, not daring to turn his head back, when he ran to the carriage. His face turned pale with fright, but Yang Quan was startled, "My lord, did you wash your face with pee?" How can it be so white? ”
Hurry up, hurry up, go away! Fang Zhengjun climbed into the carriage with a pale face and ordered: "There are chrysanthemum thieves in the woods, who covet the beauty of the official. Thanks to me, I'm running fast
Yang Quan shuddered, "Won't it?" ”
Fang Zheng sighed: "Handsome also has handsome troubles, you will never experience this feeling"
The carriage was moving quickly, and in the carriage, Fang Zheng looked at the sleeping Han Yizhen, and the begonia was sleeping in spring, which had a unique style.
"The appearance of the country and the city. Presumably there have been a lot of two, Er'er is annoyed, coveting your beauty is not a lot" Fang Zheng stared at the product... What a beautiful face, muttering to himself.
Then, Fang Zheng stroked his face lovingly, with a tone that matched the same disease, Qi Qi said: Me too! It's annoying to have people peeing at you."
Not long after the car dealership, Fang Zheng suddenly heard Yang Quan's roar, "My lord, you sit tight, someone wants to rob our car, I don't know where to go."
Saying that, Yang Quan shook his hand and shook the whip a few times, and the horse was in pain and ran quickly.
Fang Zheng was shocked when he heard this, and his face turned pale and glanced back. Through the window at the back of the carriage, Fang Zheng saw several fast horses speeding onto the carriage, and the knight on the horse shouted loudly to stop, Yang Quan turned a deaf ear, and still beat the horse pulling the carriage fiercely.
Seeing this, the knights immediately divided into two groups, two of whom bent sideways on the galloping horse, and clinged to the wheels of the carriage with their hands, in a vain attempt to jump from the horse.
Fang Zheng was furious when he saw this, since he went down to Jiangnan, he felt that everything was not going well, and the king of Thailand was plotting against him. The family was hostile to him, and Ye Minzhi tied up his ticket. Now that he didn't recruit anyone and didn't provoke anyone to sit in the carriage, these little thieves still dare to rob? Don't they know that Lao Tzu is a bandit among bandits?
By this time the knight on the horse had already jumped into the carriage. was fighting with Yang Quan for the reins of the horse, in a vain attempt to stop the carriage.
Fang Zheng lifted the curtain of the car, kicked the knight fiercely, and scolded in his mouth: "Wang Ba Lamb, blind your dog's eyes!" Even Lao Tzu dares to rob it, what the hell is wrong with these ways?.
Fang Zheng's kick made the knight who jumped into the car stagger, and his body quickly fell out, but the knight's reaction was not slow. When he was about to fall and break his blood, he suddenly twisted his body. His hands gripped the wheels of the carriage, but his body had fallen to the ground, and the speeding carriage dragged his body forward, raising a cloud of dust behind the carriage.
"Stop, stop, we're not bandits". Still clutching the wheels with both hands, the knight cried out in pain.
"Lao Tzu doesn't care if you are a thief or not, your idea of beating Lao Tzu just can't work." Fang Zheng scolded and scolded, and kept stepping on the hands that were holding the wheels.
"Lord Fang's men have mercy! It's me, it's me," the knight pleaded, and his body was dragged along by the carriage in agony.
The knights on the horses next to him also shouted: "Lord Fang, stop, it's your own people."
"Huh?" Fang Zheng was surprised. "You know me? What's your last name and what is your name? What for?.
"Fang" Lord Fang, do you have to chat with your subordinates at this time? The knight who was holding the wheel gritted his teeth and said in pain, he only felt that his lower body was completely numb from being dragged by the carriage.
Fang Zheng hurriedly ordered Yang Quan to stop the carriage.
The knights also reined in their horses and came down to meet Fang Zheng with their fists.
"Are you shadows?" Fang Zheng was stunned.
"It's your subordinate, Lord Fang, we're looking for you!" The shadow subordinates looked quite excited.
Fang Zheng was also very excited, stepped forward in two steps, held the hands of his subordinates, and shook them. He shook it again, and after a while, his eyes were filled with tears: "I finally found the organization!" ”
When the subordinates saw the true feelings of their bosses, they couldn't help but be emotional, and said, "My lord has suffered!" ”
"If your subordinates don't protect your lord, you deserve death!"
Fang Zheng wiped his tears, and said with a smile in his tears: "I don't blame you, I don't blame you, blame the little ladies in the car, no one blames me, that's right." How did you find me? I've been in the wagon, and you won't be able to spot me.
One of his subordinates said, "After your disappearance." Lord Wen sent all his subordinates out. Looking for the whereabouts of adults in the cities and villages near Yangzhou, the subordinates are responsible for going all the way to the north to search, whether it is in the wilderness or in the city and town along the way, they are all carefully inquired and visited, and they have just now. The subordinates were pleasantly surprised to find the adult."
Fang Zheng was puzzled: "Just now? How did you find out? ”
"Uh", didn't the adults just enter that grove? The subordinates happened to camp there, so ahem.
An Zheng suddenly, it seems that his luck is really good, he can be found by someone if he pees, and his character is good, and his luck is good.
Immediately after, Fang Zheng's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes staring at this group of subordinates became more and more unkind.
"So, when Lao Tzu peed just now, you were peeking from the side? And there were exclamations? ”
"Huh? Praise? Uh" yes, big
Fang Zheng's face turned blue and white for a while, and after a long time, his figure burst out, and he couldn't help but hit his subordinates headlessly, scolding while beating: "You bastards, it's very enjoyable to peek at Lao Tzu, right?" Do you know that I almost scared Lao Tzu to death? ”
"Ahh Spare your life! The subordinates are also wronged."
"How did Vinson teach you on a day-to-day basis? One by one, they are so tasteless, they don't peek at the women taking a bath, but peek at the boss peeing. Where did you learn your vulgar habits? ”
, "Dazhi, spare your life!" ”
"Rascals! Stinky rascals! Kill you".
When he was tired of fighting, Fang Zheng stopped and shouted angrily: "Say! ”
"Say, say what?.
, "Is this official's words majestic?" Is it strong? Let's talk about the aftermath
The crowd is full of black lines:
There was a fight. Fang Zheng asked: "Two days away from the city, Yangzhou City is okay?" Did Xiao Huaiyuan harass the people under the banner of looking for a messenger? ”
The subordinate who was beaten to the point of having a blue nose and swollen face was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "My lord! The big thing is not good, the king of Thailand "rebelled!" At present, tens of thousands of anti-thieves are besieging Yangzhou City, please make a decision quickly! ”
