Chapter Twenty-Four: Go to War!
The night was as deep as water, in the outer courtyard of the house, Chen Xuanyuan had not slept all night, and he had not taken off his military uniform, sitting on the soft couch, looking at the candle in front of him, Mu Zi was motionless.
The generals did not sleep, they were all sitting in the side hall of the front yard, there were about seven or eight people, General Li Hu sat on the upper seat on the right, they all did not say a word, squinted slightly, as if they were waiting for something.
The city wall shrouded in night looked a little majestic and terrifying, a group of soldiers patrolled the city wall with light steps, there were two or three general-like people standing in a tower watching the movement outside the city, and in every notch of the city wall were two soldiers, holding spears in their hands, looking at the dark outside of the city without squinting.
"Oh woo woo oh woo oh" I don't know where the rooster croak broke the silence of the night.
The sky gradually turned white, the night slowly receded, and a touch of white slowly encroached on the endless sky.
Nothing happened all night...
In a camp tent outside the city wall, Meng Yi sat upright, a layout map of Weiyang City was placed on the table, Meng Yi looked at the map and his eyes flickered, obviously studying something.
A man's voice came from outside the "General's account".
"Come in," Meng Yi raised his head and said in a deep voice
A man in battle armor walked in, it was Deputy General Cheng, and he walked in front of Meng Yi
"The general has been arranged and is ready to go to war at any time," said Adjutant General Cheng
"Uh-huh, you go down and do what you planned," Meng Yi nodded and replied
Vice General Cheng turned around and walked out, Meng Yi looked down at the table and the map again, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wisps of cooking smoke slowly floated up from the camp of the Tang army, and the breeze blew, carrying the smoke into the distance.
"General, the Tang army has lit the smoke," a soldier knelt in front of Li Hu and other generals and said
"Oh, let's let our soldiers open fire," said a bearded general next to Li Hu
"Well, let's fire" Li Hu thought about it and replied
"Yes," the soldier who passed the word immediately turned around and walked away quickly
"Dujun, the general said to fire" The soldier who had left in front of Li Hu just now came to the city wall and said in front of a person who looked like a general
"Okay, give the order to go down and fire," the capital army said loudly
"Yes"
After a while, cooking smoke also ignited everywhere in the Weiyang city wall, and the cooking smoke drifted across the city wall and drifted towards the Tang army, as if it was provoking the Tang army.
Within the tent of the Tang army, Vice General Cheng looked at the smoke wafting from the cooking, and a touch of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, as well as a touch of ruthlessness.
Say to the guards around you, "Prepare to attack the city"
"Yes"
Wave after wave of Tang troops ran out of the camp tent, they were fully armed, frantically assembled and thought about the Weiyang city wall, and in less than a moment, a piece of Tang army rushed to Weiyang City, and they shouted in their mouths
"Rush, rush! Eliminate Da Chen and capture Emperor Da Chen alive" They ran and kicked up the yellow smoke in the sky.
"The Tang Army is coming! The Tang Army is coming..." On the wall of Weiyang, Chen Jun shouted
One by one, flints fell from the sky and smashed on the walls of Weiyang, igniting patches of black smoke.
A team of Chen soldiers, open the city gate, rush out of the gate of Weiyang City, out of the city to meet the enemy, one by one archers rushed to the city wall, cut and hang, rocket after rocket rushed down the city wall, eat through the armor of the Tang army.
"Report! Newspaper··· The Tang army raided," a soldier rushed to the house in a panic and knelt in front of General Li Hu
"Let's go, hurry up to the city wall, Vice General Li will go to report to Your Majesty" After Li Hu finished speaking, he took the lead and rushed out.
All the generals hurriedly followed, and Vice General Li went to the main hall to report to the emperor
"Your Majesty, the Tang Army Raid"
"Huh?" Chen Xuanyuan frowned, raised the bloodshot Mu Zi and looked at Vice General Li
When Vice General Li saw the emperor's bloodshot eyes, he trembled a little in his heart and replied
"Your Majesty, the Tang Army Raid"
Chen Xuanyuan stood up, picked up the helmet on the table, and strode out of the house, and Vice General Li hurriedly got up from the ground and followed.
At the same time, in the backyard, Yiyi rushed in in a panic and said to Lin Qing, who was sitting on the soft floor for dinner, "Niangniang, the Tang army has raided, and the war has begun."
"Huh?" Lin Qing raised his lowered head, a little puzzled
"Already at war?"
"Yes, the Tang army has just attacked, and the two sides are already fighting," Yiyi hurriedly replied
"Bump, bump, bump..."
"Kill, kill..."
Before Yiyi finished speaking, Lin Qing heard the screams of killing in the sky, and the earth shook a little.
Lin Qing put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, got up and walked to them, through the already bright sky, looking at the flints falling from the sky not far away, his heart was shocked, the battle began.
"Yiyi, don't go out, just tell the spies to report" Lin Qing turned his head and instructed Yiyidao
"No, Niangniang" went out after agreeing, ready to explain the good things.
Lin Qing looked up at the smoke burning not far away, and slowly calmed down in his heart, knowing in his heart that maybe the turning point was today.
Chen Xuanyuan stood on the city tower, looking at the two sides of the battle outside the city, the sound of fighting was deafening, and the sound of a boulder falling to the ground and the sound of a bow and arrow piercing the air sounded in his ears.
His eyes were cold, his hand was on the sword, and only the slight movement of his eyes could make people realize that he was paying attention to the war.
