Chapter 373: The Battle of Yangzhou City

"Brother Meng, what do you think of those rebels outside the city when they see the suddenly bright lights at the head of our city?" At the head of the city, a general asked Meng Zhong.

Meng Zhong shook his head and said disdainfully, "What do they think, they don't know, but they know that it won't be long before they regret it." ”

"Regret what." The general asked.

"I regret why my father and mother only gave birth to two legs for themselves, if I had a few more, wouldn't I be able to run faster." Meng Zhong said with a smile.

"Hmm........ Hahaha..."

Hearing this, it looked like a joke, but in fact, it was full of endless confident answers, not only the generals who asked the question, but also the Tang army at the head of the city suddenly felt a trace of pride surging in their bodies. The original tense aura has also dissipated a lot.

Compared with the slightly dignified atmosphere of the Tang army in Yangzhou City, the morale of another Tang army outside the city was extremely high.

"Captain Chen, we have finally waited for this day, after holding back in the deep mountains and old forests for so many days, we are finally able to move, but I don't know if the imperial court will give a certain promotion after the matter is completed." A lieutenant said.

Listening to the words of the lieutenant next to him, Chen Guotai showed a few smiles on his face, and said lightly, "It's absolutely no problem to be promoted, but I don't know if your kid has this ability, tonight is a good opportunity, there are many soldiers in Yangzhou City to set up a stage for us, if we are not singing well in this play, what face do we have to meet Jiangdong's fathers, besides, this is a rare opportunity to make contributions, as long as you succeed in exterminating the rebels today, it is also very possible to be promoted to the knighthood, and when the time comes, don't see the enemy and be weak, After watching others take benefits, my eyes are red. ”

"Governor Mingjian, tonight's battle, even if you don't say it, we don't dare to cheat and play tricks, this day Taoist cholera Jiangnan, how many of our brothers' hometowns have been harmed by them, today is a good time for revenge, who dares to be greedy for life and afraid of death, even if everyone doesn't say it, his grandmother can't spare them." The other lieutenant touched the sharp blade of the steel knife and said, and from his words, he could hear his resentment towards the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Not only Chen Guotai's side, but also the hemp grass side are also boosting each other's morale.

"Folks, in order to survive, we rebelled against the imperial court, which is a capital crime, thanks to the benevolence of Duan Dudu's house, not only did not cure our crimes, but gave us a chance to make meritorious contributions, in the past, Duan Dudu has already written to say that this time to exterminate the traitors of the Heavenly Taoist Sect, as long as we fight bravely to kill the enemy, the previous sins in Jianzhou City will not only be written off, but will also ask the court for merit for us, and when the time comes, the official will be knighted just around the corner." Ma Cao stood on a high place and shouted to the crowd.

"Don't worry, don't worry, how can we be the kind of beasts who are not gracious, Duan Dudu not only saved us, but also avenged many villagers, this kindness, we are unforgettable, now is the time for us to repay him, who dares to retreat, be careful of my Ge Da's guillotine." The first to respond to the hemp grass was Ge Da.

With Ge Da taking the lead, no matter whether many of the victims are sincere, perfunctory or for promotion and wealth, at least on the surface, they seem to be extraordinarily heroic.

...............................

The suddenly bright torches at the head of Yangzhou City really surprised the Tiandao rebels outside the city.

Except for Li Minghe and the soldiers of the Zhichong Mansion who accompanied him, the other rebels had a little commotion.

"It's ........ This is..... What's going on, why is the city of Yangzhou so bright, could it be that the Tang army found out that our plan could not be achieved. Yu Feihu asked in surprise.

"This ......."

For a while, the henchmen around Yu Feihu shook their heads and were silent, not that they didn't say it, but they really didn't know.

Looking at the appearance of the people around him, although Yu Feihu was angry in his heart, he could only endure it, turned his head to look at Yan Ming, who had been following him, and said, "Yan Ming, what is going on, do you know." ”

Hearing Yu Feihu's inquiry, Yan Ming walked out of the corner and said lightly, "Don't be surprised, the prison army should be congratulated." ”

"Oh, what a joy." Yu Feihu asked in surprise.

"Hahaha, the little congratulations to the prison army is about to establish a great feat for my holy dynasty, don't you know Daoxi." Speaking of this, Yan Ming paused, looked at the people around him who were looking at him in surprise, and continued.

"The city of Yangzhou suddenly brightened, and it was even smaller to judge, this is likely to be deliberately done by the Tang Army, in order to make us think that they have some plans, so that we can put all our energy on the city, at this time, if they quietly go out of the city, it will not attract our attention, so, if nothing else, I am afraid that it will not be long before the people in the city should come out."

"That's true."

"Eight or nine is not far from ten."

"Well, well, if that's the case, you've done it again."

.....................

"Crunch, crunch......."

Not long after the light of the city, the sound of opening the door sounded, and the gate of Yangzhou City, which had been closed for many days, had long been unable to see the original appearance, was slowly opened at this moment.

"It's open, it's open, general, the city gate is open, take Yangzhou City, it's tonight." Looking at the slowly opening city gate, a leader couldn't help but shout in surprise.

Compared with the surprise of the crowd, Li Minghe was excited at this time, once he thought that he was invincible, but he was the world's first-class general, but this battle of Yangzhou City, let him have doubts about himself, even a small Yangzhou City can not be taken, what qualifications does he have to say that he is the world's first-class good general, and today, this city that he has not been able to attack for a long time is about to fall into his hands, but he did not feel a trace of joy, but full of fear of the future, once at the beginning of the rebellion imagined a beautiful ideal, At this time, I didn't dare to hope for a long time.

"General, give the order to attack, the city gate has been opened, as long as we charge, we can take Yangzhou City." A rebel leader anxiously asked.

"No"

Li Minghe shook his head and said.

"Attack at this time, if those people retreat back into the city in a panic, this golden opportunity will be missed, wait, when they leave the city wall, we are attacking, as long as they are wiped out, an empty city in Yangzhou is not our exploration."

"Meng Langjun, you said that the gate of this city has been opened, why haven't those rebels launched an attack yet, it's because they are afraid that they will not be deceived." Under the city of Yangzhou, a group of soldiers and civilians who looked extremely embarrassed hurriedly walked out of the city carrying packages.

Of course, this is only on the surface, if someone really watches it from a close distance, they can see that these people who look extremely embarrassed are all strong men, and the most bizarre thing is that there is not a single woman and the old and weak among them, these are none other than the Tang Army, which is used to attract the Tang Army who was fooled by the rebels of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Hearing the inquiry, Meng Zhong, who was the leader, sneered, "Hmph, they are not afraid of being deceived, but they have a huge appetite and want to catch us all, but what they probably can't imagine is that we are not only not the cicadas in their eyes, but the yellow finches behind them." ”

During the conversation, a group of people walked farther and farther away from the city wall, getting closer and closer to the ambush place of the Heavenly Dao Sect rebels, three miles, two miles, one mile........

"Attack ......."

When the Tang army stepped into the ambush circle of the Heavenly Daoist rebels, Li Minghe's originally closed eyes opened sharply and shouted.

With Li Minghe's fierce shout, the rebels launched a fierce attack on the Tang army, sharp arrows were like rain, rolling stones were like thunder, and in the blink of an eye, many Tang soldiers were injured and fell to the ground.

"Array, protect, remember, no one can act rashly, as long as you resist the attack of the rebels, it is the greatest victory." The sudden attack did not make Meng Zhong change at all, he had already prepared for this scene, not only him, but all the Tang troops who went out of the city were ready to die at any time.

In addition to the first wave of sneak attacks was extremely obvious, after the Tang army was ready to defend, the results of the rebels' attacks seemed to be somewhat weakened, of course, this was only targeted, and every moment, the Tang army was still knocked to the ground.

"Come on, pass the order, let everyone press, exterminate these Tang troops as soon as possible, and seize Yangzhou City." Seeing that the Tang army had made defensive preparations, Li Minghe also issued an order for the whole army to press, after all, at this moment, the most important thing is to exterminate these Tang troops and seize Yangzhou City.

It's just that what Li Minghe didn't expect was that as soon as his order was exited, someone next to him exclaimed, "Big ...... General, no...... Oh no, someone went to Yangzhou City. ”

Hearing this, Li Minghe looked up, and there was a burst of anger in his heart, originally he thought that in this army, he was a well-deserved master, but at this moment, the scene in front of him was no less than a resounding slap in the face, and he saw that there were almost more than 10,000 people, without his order, actually thinking of Yangzhou City and rushing to it.

"Yu Feihu, good, good, good, fight Yan all day long, but today I was pecked by Yan, you wait, in the future, I will let you know the consequences of offending XX."

After thinking about it for a while, he knew what was going on, it must be Yu Feihu who co-opted some leaders in the army in order to compete with him for military merits, you know, these people are nominally under the management of Li Minghe, the general, but in fact, most of them are former disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and even people promoted by Yu Feihu, how could they disobey Yu Feihu's order.

Compared with Li Minghe's anger, at this moment, Yu Feihu was very proud, riding on a war horse, and proudly thinking about Yangzhou City.

"The prison army can't be the first wise man of the Holy Sect, then Li Minghe is completely reckless compared to you, but he also served as a general in the imperial court, if the imperial court says these people, it will be much easier for my Holy Sect to dominate the world." Yan Ming followed Yu Feihu Horse and patted his ass.

"Hahaha, haha, this is a good statement, but Li Minghe is not an idle person, it's just that he relies on his official position and looks down on me, today he will give him a salary from the bottom of the kettle, now let him and those stinky and hard Tang Army go to the death, and when they exterminate the Tang Army, I'm afraid there is not much left, as long as we take Yangzhou City, we can not only get the baggage in Yangzhou City, but also be able to preserve our own strength, when the time comes, Li Minghe is just a small worm in a certain hand, If you let him give birth to him, you can live, and if you let him die, he will never live. Yu Feihu smiled proudly.

"That's, that's, the talent of the prison army is rare in the world, and a mere Li Minghe is your opponent." Saying this, Yan Ming's face was a little mocking, especially looking at the Yangzhou city wall that was getting closer and closer, his face showed a bit of a strange look.

"General, what should we do, should we continue to exterminate the Tang army, or ........" Looking at Yu Feihu and the others who were getting closer and closer to Yangzhou City, a general beside Li Minghe asked.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were fixed on Li Minghe, you know, if at this time, they give up besieging the Tang army, they can enter Yangzhou City with Yu Feihu and others, so that the money and baggage in Yangzhou City will not be seized by Yu Feihu and others, if they continue to stay to besiege the Tang Army, they will not only suffer great damage, but also not get any benefits from Yangzhou City, that is to say, after such a long time of sacrifice and hard work, all for others to make wedding clothes, this kind of thing, How could they be willing in their hearts.

Li Minghe is also a veteran general on the battlefield, how could he not guess the thoughts of these generals, but seeing that he was about to wipe out all the Tang army, how could he be willing to let go of the battle during this time.

For a moment, the constant change of the face on his face represented his deep inner struggle.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Minghe finally made up his mind.

"Touching ......"

A fist slammed into a big tree, and Li Minghe's eyes were red and he said, "The original plan remains unchanged, continue to besiege and kill the Tang army." ”

With an order, even if everyone is unwilling in their hearts, they can only take the order and go.

..........................

The gate of Yangzhou City was wide open, as if it was welcoming them, looking at this scene, Yu Feihu was very proud in his heart, "Hahaha, dozens of days of fighting, how many soldiers died, today this Yangzhou City was finally taken down by me Yu Feihu, and after the Holy Sect dominates the world in the future, I Yu Feihu will also be able to leave a name in history." ”

"The establishment of this immortal achievement of the prison army will definitely be like Huo Champion and General Fei, and it will be inherited for all generations, and we are fortunate to follow the prison army to make meritorious contributions, and it can be regarded as accumulating virtue in the previous life, so it is better for the prison army to write a poem again to commemorate." Yan Ming touted.

Hearing Yan Ming's previous words, Yu Feihu was quite happy, but as soon as the last sentence came out, Yu Feihu immediately changed his face, it turned out that although Yu Feihu boasted that he was the smartest person in the Heavenly Taoism, in fact, he only knew some words, and in addition to his usual cleverness, in the Heavenly Taoism where there were few readers, he slowly showed his cleverness, but he couldn't do this kind of thing, so when he heard Yan Ming's words that he asked him to compose poems, it was no less than poking his pain, How could he be happy?
