Chapter 16: Peak Loop
Lin Qing has been staying in Jingyi Hall to read books for the past few days, as if she has forgotten everything in the outside world, she sits on the soft collapse, leaning on the table with her hands, wearing a snow-white skirt showing a good figure, and the flickering candlelight is printed on the snow-white neck, which looks particularly charming.
Lin Qing is holding a book about the history of the Tang Dynasty in his hand, because of the reason why Da Chen and Da Tang went to war, Lin Qing wants to know about Da Tang, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side wins all battles, learn more about the past of Da Tang, may find a breakthrough, and may also find the key point to solve the crisis of the Su family.
"Niangniang, the letter from the Shang Dining Room" At this time, Xiaohuan walked into the study and said to Lin Qing
"Well, was it sent by Concubine Shu?" Lin Qing asked
"Yes, Niangniang" Xiaohuan whispered to Lin Qing
Lin Qing took the letter and said, "Got it, you go down"
"No"
Lin Qing opened the letter, it was Tang Xiu's handwriting, and the letter said that the Tang army had conquered the city all the way, broken through many cities such as Linshui, and was still attacking the city in the north, and was about to attack Yangcheng.
The letter also said that Meng Yi, the general of the Tang Dynasty, introduced a lot of his information, this person has practiced martial arts since he was a child, joined the army at the age of fifteen, began to go to the battlefield at the age of sixteen, killed countless enemies, was brave and invincible, and was already a victorious general at the age of twenty-five, which can be described as the face of the Tang Dynasty, a fierce general. And Da Chen, today Emperor Chen Xuanyuan has sent Lin Qing's grandfather Li Hu to Yangcheng to defend against the enemy.
At the end of the letter, the strength of the armies of the two sides was introduced, so that Lin Qing had a better understanding of the contest between Datang and Dachen.
Putting down the letter, thinking about the current situation, Lin Qing fell into deep thought, raised his smooth chin, looked at the bookshelf in front of him, and the time revealed quiet and comfortable.
Because of the war against the Tang Dynasty, now that the Su family is in danger, there is no need to worry about it for the time being, Chen Xuanyuan temporarily let go of his heart to deal with the Su family, and Su Meng was already escorted back to the capital two days ago and is being detained in the prison. Therefore, Lin Qing can rest assured for the time being, and slowly think about how to deal with Chen Xuanyuan.
Thinking about these clearly, Lin Qing picked up the book again and read it, and another night was like water, fleeting.
It took General Li Hu nearly two days to complete the road that would have taken three days to complete. He rushed to Yangcheng the next night, and did not rest when he arrived in Yangcheng, and immediately went to the city wall to begin to understand the situation and arrangement of the troops.
Li Hu's old but powerful body stood on the city wall, looking at the black pressure of the Tang Dynasty army not far away, there were 300,000 of them, and there was quite a posture of black clouds pressing the city and wanting to destroy it.
Li Hu called the general who was originally guarding the city and asked him about the current deployment in the city.
Looking at the distant generals defending the city, Li Hu didn't know how to describe his current mood, after understanding the current situation of Chen Jun, he knew that Chen Jun was very not optimistic now, most of the retreating troops in Yangcheng were originally retreated from the captured city, there was no attack power, and there were a large number of wounded, in terms of quantity, plus the soldiers in Yangcheng itself, a total of less than 120,000, compared with the 300,000 in the Tang Dynasty, it was far from the 300,000. Looking at the army in the distance, Li Hu felt a little bottomless in his heart, the disparity this time was too great, Datang still had a general like Meng Yi, it can be said that there is no chance of victory, so he can only try his best to delay it longer, and wait for Emperor Chen Xuanyuan to send troops to support.
In the military tent of the commander of the Tang Dynasty, a burly middle-aged man was plotting something with three people.
"Have you figured it out?" said the burly middle-aged man
"General Hui, we have already found out clearly, we already know Da Chen's troops and arrangements well, and this time we will definitely be able to take Yangcheng with lightning speed," a middle-aged general said
"Well, then hurry up and arrange it, don't delay the opportunity, and leak the secret" Meng Yi stared at the three people majestically
"Obey the order," the three of them immediately said respectfully
The night of Yangcheng is as quiet as water, the crescent moon on the fifth day of the first month is still very small, and the earth is hidden in darkness, so that people can't see anything. Suddenly, clusters of torches illuminated the dark night, and rockets fell from the sky to kill the city wall of Yangcheng, and the rockets fell on the houses, igniting the houses on the city wall, and the flames fell into the whole city wall into a sea of fire.
Under the city wall of Yangcheng, the black and overwhelming Dachen army attacked, and the earth-shattering shouts resounded throughout the sky of Yangcheng.
"Night Raid! Night Raid! Chen Jun shouted loudly, struggling desperately, and a large area of Chen Jun lay permanently on the cold city wall of Yangcheng under the night attack of the Tang Army.
"Quick, arrange the men, guard the walls, the archers prepare the rockets, hurry! Hurriedly! What about trebuchets, what about the people! Li Hu rigorously arranged the defenses of various places.
Li Hu just came here before he had time to arrange everything, the Tang army attacked at night, and he could only arrange urgently, looking at the Da Chen soldiers lying in the place one by one, he felt very uncomfortable, knowing that Yangcheng could not hold it, but he could only desperately buy time.
The sound of the fight was deafening, rushing straight into the sky, and the bloody breath spread far away, making people sick to their stomachs.
Lin Qing knew that Yangcheng was lost on the second day after he knew that Li Hu went to Yangcheng, and it was also the news sent by Tang Xiu, looking at the letter in his hand, Lin Qing was a little surprised, Yangcheng was lost a little quickly, and it seemed that his grandfather could not save the fate of Yangcheng.
After pondering for a moment, he knew that the time had come, and this was a good time to talk to Chen Xuanyuan about the conditions. asked Xiaohuan to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote a letter to Xiaohuan, so that she could pass it to Tang Xiu and arrange everything. Looking at Xiaohuan's distant back, he knew that the Su family was about to turn around.
