Chapter 276: The Next City

The current situation in Yizhou is very dangerous, Zhao Kuangyi used arrow towers and gunpowder to frequently attack the city, although the loss was not large, but it was a fatal blow to the morale of the army.

The people in the city couldn't help but fight back, but they went out of the city to fight back, and they had to face the attack of the Zhou soldiers.

Han Tong, Zhang Yongde, Gao Huaide, Yang Ye, and many other generals are all holding back their strength and want to make great contributions. If the soldiers in the city chase too far, they will gather a few people and horses and attack together.

After tossing for more than half a month, more than 2,000 people were lost in the city, and what was even worse was that the veterans of the division were tired, and they had become the end of the strong crossbow.

Li Zaiqin was enraged, vomited blood, although he was still patrolling and defending these days, and he didn't dare to relax for a moment, but he knew that he had suffered internal injuries, and it was quite serious!

There seems to be a fire in his chest, from time to time his eyes are black, his legs are weak, he is worried about his upper body, and the fire is at his peak, Li Zaiqin knows some medical skills, if he takes care of his injuries, he may be able to live for a few years. But now that the military situation outside the city is on fire, and Zhou Bing can come in at any time, can he rest!

I stayed up day and night every day, and I got sick again, coughing with blood, and my urine turned red...... Lee Jae-qin was scared, he knew that he wouldn't last long.

Lying on the table, his hands trembled, he unfolded the recital, wrote a recital for the Khitan Emperor, and begged the emperor to send troops to rescue.

Lee Jae-chin no longer counts on Xiao Siwen.

The old fox didn't know how to fight at all, and he was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he would rather leave the men and horses north of Youzhou and wait for the Great Zhou people to kill him, rather than go on an honest expedition and go to Yizhou to fight with the Zhou soldiers.

Xiao Siwen's strategy is not wrong, and it is also very in line with the character of the grassland tribe.

Historically, when the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, when counterattacking the grassland, the nomadic tribes would choose to avoid its edge, attack the grain routes, and rely on guerrilla tactics to thwart the strong enemy.

The morale of the Zhou soldiers was strong, the logistics were abundant, and they took the initiative to seek battle, which was to hit the stone with an egg.

But if you wait for the Zhou soldiers to pass, the supply line is extended, and the flaws appear, the opportunity will come.

To put it bluntly, Xiao Siwen regarded the sixteen states of Yanyun as a buffer zone, and those Hanchens who took refuge in the Khitan, the southern officials, became outcasts in his hands.

Unfortunately, Lee Jae-chin, is one of them...... I am loyal to Your Majesty, and I am willing to take off a heart for the sake of the Khitan...... The court can't treat me like this, Your Majesty, you must send someone to save me!

Lee Jae-qin seemed to be enchanted, and kept pleading and praying. He sent the call for help out, and then snapped his fingers, hoping for reinforcements to arrive.

Li Zaiqin didn't know that during this time, the defenders were exhausted to the extreme, although many people were stationed in the city, but their eyes couldn't be opened, some leaned against the corner, some hid on the steps, and fell asleep, and the defense of the city became more and more lax.

At this time, Chen Ming led a team of sappers and was digging underground.

Like gophers, they dug a tunnel that led to the city.

Half a month of construction, they are finally finished!

"Master Hou, take Yizhou, it's tonight!"

Zhao Kuangyin was dressed in a military uniform and said confidently.

Ye Hua smiled slightly, standing in the barracks, looking at the dark Yizhou, the moon was dark and the wind was high, it was a good time!

"Well, whoever can take the lead in breaking through the city and catching Li Zaiqin will have a heavy reward!"

"Understood!"

The big guys were shocked and clenched their fists excitedly.

At this time, Chen Ming and the others had already carefully dug up the soil above their heads and crawled out of the ground, their shoes were wrapped in a thick layer of cloth, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

Crawling out of the tunnel, there is a moat in front of you, and after crossing the moat, it is the city wall of Yizhou.

Some soldiers went to the river first and spread the ladder on the river, and the people behind them, carrying gunpowder bags and wrapped in black clothes, climbed over the ladder and sent the gunpowder bags to the city one by one, and piled them up.

This process is very terrifying, everyone's heart is in the throat, a little mistake, so that the people in the city find out, they have to storm the city, and it is difficult to say how many people will be killed and injured at that time.

Chen Ming was not a person who believed in gods, and he began to recite the blessings of the Bodhisattva.

Almost half an hour has passed, and the gunpowder under the city has exceeded 2,000 catties!

The time has also come to the third watch, and the time has come to attack the city!

The sappers were in a state of excitement and retreated into the tunnel, and Chen Ming lit the arquebus with his own hands.

The spark only flashed in his hand, and then entered the bamboo pipe, through the bamboo tube of the cloud ladder, all the way to the bottom of the city. At this moment, Chen Ming and the others have turned around and climbed quickly, using both hands and feet, and running as far as possible.

But even so, everyone felt the ground under them shake violently, and they were thrown up, and they fell to the ground again, and from above there was a constant uproar.

When they crawled out of the ground, each of them was covered in mud, like little ghosts, and they were almost buried underneath and couldn't get out.

It's really desperate!

Chen Ming looked back, and suddenly his joy blossomed.

It turned out that Yizhou City had been blown up, and it was about five zhang.

The soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou, the iron cavalry stood out, and rushed towards the mouth.

Hantong took the lead and was the first to enter Yizhou.

He had a long knife in his hand, and he danced, chopping melons and vegetables, and those Khitan soldiers were in a hurry, where they could resist, they all scattered and fled.

Han Tong's pursuit of these people's butts is a big killing.

The soldiers in the back rushed in, another part of them opened the city gates, and the rest of the Zhou soldiers also entered.

The huge city of Yizhou, in all directions, was full of Zhou soldiers, there was fire everywhere, and the sound of shouts shook the heavens and the earth. It's like a boiling iron pot.

Li Zaiqin woke up in shock, he turned over suddenly, got off the bed, didn't even have time to put on the armor, and when he got outside, he saw the skyrocketing fire, he screamed in pain, and he was so anxious that tears came out.

That's it!

He hurriedly mounted his horse, beckoned his cronies to protect him, and fled along the street, intending to rush out of the city. He didn't run far when he happened to meet Han Tong.

"Hahaha, Lao Tzu is finally transferred, you will die!"

Han Tong rushed over, the weapon was waved, the cold light was shining, the Khitans were so frightened that they retreated, Li Zaiqin gritted his teeth, he was also a general, fight!

Li Zaiqin raised the horse lance in his hand and stabbed at Han Tong, Han Tong blocked with a long knife, he obviously felt that Li Zaiqin's strength was insufficient, Han Tong suddenly reached out and grabbed the rod of the horse lance, and pulled it hard, Li Zaiqin still wanted to resist, but his eyes were dark, he fell off the horse's back, opened his mouth, and spit out a ball of blood!

Han Tong snatched the horse lance and slashed at Li Zaiqin's neck, and a human head rolled out a long way, and his men and horses saw this situation, and collapsed without a fight, and fled one after another.

As soon as the sky was bright, Yizhou fell into the hands of Zhou Bing!

Another city has been recaptured!

When others were fighting, Ye Hua wrote good news in the barracks, and when the city arrived, Ye Hua's good news was also sent, and the efficiency was so high......

The messenger was delivered to the capital within two days at an expedited speed of 800 miles.

"Good news, good news ahead!"

"Our army has won a big victory, and the champion Hou has shown his might and captured Yizhou!"

"Yizhou is ours, Youzhou is in front of us!"

……

If the previous good news just makes everyone feel happy, relieved, and inspired...... So this time, the good news made the capital boil, and it was all boiling from line to bottom.

Yizhou is not big, far less than the victory of the ten counties in Guannan, why is there such a movement?

In a word - bonds!

The war bonds were launched, and many people just wanted to contribute to the recovery of Yanyun, so they spared no expense and bought bonds. But with the news of the victory, the war bond became a treasure chased by everyone overnight.

In less than a month, the initial issue price has risen by as much as 20%!

You must know that there are not many usury loans with a monthly interest of more than 20%.

Fair and honest investment, with the guarantee of the imperial court, earns 20% a month, I don't know how much happiness is crazy. Everyone can see that when Yan Yun gets it back completely, the bonds will rise.

Now there are even people in the capital, with a premium of 30%, to buy bonds.

Several ministers were knocked a lot of money, and now look at it, it seems that they have earned it.

"The old man bought 8,000 guan, if he sells it at this time, he gets the principal back, and he can earn an extra 2,400 guan!" Li Gu laughed, "I didn't expect the old man to have a fortune, yes, it's really good!" ”

Wei Renpu, who was sitting opposite him, rolled his eyelids, "Li Xianggong, money is still in hand, and it is always unreliable to hold bonds." We should not be intoxicated with this...... Now that someone buys it, you sell it! and lest it be proved in the future. ”

Li Gu thought about it, it was for his own consideration, it made sense, and said casually: "Wei Xianggong, who do you say I sell to?" ”

Wei Renpu suddenly approached Li Gu and said in a low voice, "That...... If you want, just sell it to me, and I'll give it to you at market priceβ€”plus a single volume?" Two volumes will do! ”

In an instant, Li Gu's face turned black, and you are too shameless!

"I said Wei Xianggong, you are crying poor, you only took out 5,000 guan at the beginning, how about it, regret it! Deserve! It's called self-inflicted! ”

The dignified prime minister is also in turmoil by bonds, not to mention others.

Miss Feng's face was flushed, she specially bought the best wine to honor the old Feng Dao.

"Grandfather, I've earned three hundred miles!"

Old Feng Dao smiled slightly, "Okay, you have the ability, you will make money, from now on, grandpa's good wine will be indispensable!" ”

Miss Feng's bright eyes flickered, and she also poured herself a glass, and her little face became more and more delicate.

"I made money, but Miss Fu San earned gold and silver, only a month, there were 500,000 yuan in the account, she is simply the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, turning stones into gold!"

Miss Feng couldn't help but say: "You shouldn't burn it, 50,000 guan, you can earn 15,000 guan!" ”

"Hahaha!"

Feng Dao suddenly laughed, "When I reach my grandfather's age, money is something outside my body." I really want to know if that Fu San girl is like you, she only cares about this profit! ”

Feng Dao's words were meaningful, and Miss Feng pondered for a moment, and her pretty face immediately turned white......
