With a loud "boom", Liaoyang City trembled, and Cheng Biting Jin and the chasing soldiers almost fell. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Jump!" As soon as Cheng Biting Jin pulled Dongfang Yumei, he jumped down, and then landed on the battering ram that crashed. Dongfang Yumei jumped in a hurry, and her feet slipped and almost didn't fall; Thanks to Lao Cheng's quick eyes, he grabbed her and took her into his arms.
"Good!" Liang Shanjun couldn't stop applauding excitedly; The Goguryeo soldiers were deflated; Gao Yuanshou kept slapping the city wall.
Qin Qiong hurriedly ordered someone to take back the battering ram and save the two of them, Cheng Biting Jin and Dongfang Yumei returned to the military tent, someone had already come up to treat their injuries, Dongfang Yumei did not suffer any injuries, but Cheng Biting Jin was hit by several losses, but the injuries were not serious, and he was a good man when bandaged.
Li Jing saw that the enemy's morale was low, and hurriedly organized soldiers to attack, although this time still did not break through Liaoyang City, but Zhang Ding and Luo Song both killed the city, not only killed a large number of enemy soldiers, but also destroyed a lot of city defense equipment.
In this way, the two sides launched a ten-day offensive and defensive battle in Liaoyang City, and both the Liangshan army and Goguryeo suffered heavy losses. The current Liaoyang City is already full of holes, crumbling, and in danger of collapsing at any time.
On May 17 of this year, the south wind blew strongly, and the Liangshan army once again opened a formation below Liaoyang City; Compared to Yangsan, the morale of the army was high. The Goguryeo army was a little lifeless, as if waiting for the judgment of fate.
Li Jing still let the catapult and the crash car take the lead in the attack, and under the continuous attack for more than ten days; The towers of Liaoyang City have been destroyed; This time, the wall in the southwest corner also collapsed under the uncertain attack of the crash.
"Block me!" Gao Yuanshou was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly asked the army to plug the gap with rolling wood and stones. Li Jing smiled coldly, and Ling Qi waved a pair of archers to the southwest of the city.
Then a series of popular rockets shot up into the sky, jumped over the crumbling walls, and landed inside the city.
"Boom! Bang! "In the midst of the fire, there was a thunderous explosion; Cheng Yanjin finally used the little black powder he had left. The soldiers of Goguryeo thought of the Sui army's demon method to bombard the Pyongyang city tower, and they turned around and ran away with a scream.
The rockets not only ignited the fortifications of the castle tower, but also burned the houses in the castle, and for a while, the flames soared into the sky, and the Goguryeo soldiers were seen fleeing everywhere.
Li Jing ordered Cheng Yanjin, Zhang Ding, Luo Song and others to climb to the top of the punch pole and send them into the city; The rest of the soldiers were behind and the ants were attacking the city.
Cheng Biting Jin and several other big insects rushed forward, which increased the speed of the enemy's rout, and Gao Yuanshou and An Dianbao couldn't stop it if they wanted to. The Liangshan soldiers behind followed and rushed to the city tower.
Li Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it; The flag waved, and the rest of the soldiers rushed up.
Gao Yuanshou and An Dianbao still didn't give up, and organized a death squad to rush up with a big shield, wanting to use people as city walls to plug the gap. The Liangshan soldiers stabbed with spears, and the two sides were at a stalemate for a while; Cheng Yanjin picked up a piece of defensive stone and smashed it down, and immediately knocked down a piece.
As soon as everyone saw that this method was good, they turned around for a while and smashed into Goguryeo's shield array; Dou Meng took the opportunity to rush forward with the soldiers of the trapped regiment, and the plate axe in his hand waved, killing a bloody path.
The Goguryeo soldiers finally couldn't resist it, threw down their big shields and turned to flee. Cheng Yanjin and others then chased and killed. Gao Yuanshou saw that the general trend had gone, sighed and killed himself with a backhand. An Dianbao fought against Zhang Ding and Luo Song, and he couldn't resist it, and when he saw Gao Yuanshou commit suicide, he was stunned for a moment, and was pierced in the throat by Luo Song, falling to the ground and dying.
The battle did not end until the evening, when 10,000 Goguryeo soldiers in Liaoyang were annihilated, 10,000 surrendered, and 40,000 civilians in Liaoyang were taken prisoner. After statistics, 500,000 stone of grain were seized, and countless weapons, armor, horses, etc. were seized.
Emperor Yang of Sui's three eastern expeditions all stopped here, and it was of great significance for Liangshan to capture this city. Cheng Yanjin arranged for Li Jing to take over the government affairs of Liaodong and make a list of Anmin; On the one hand, let people report to Liangshan.
Du Ruyan happily took up the case when he heard the news, and then spread it to the territory of Liangshan, and once again posted a notice to recruit 10,000 households to enrich Liaodong. Everyone rushed to tell each other, and soon there was a long queue at the recruitment office.
Li Jing searched for people in Liaodong and recounted the people here, whether they were Sui people, Goguryeo people or Jin people; Then there was a big move with Sheng Yanshi in Pyongyang.
They promised that as long as they lived in a designated place as required, they would be given 10 acres of land per person and a cow to cultivate; You can also enjoy the treatment of Liangshan, such as children have the right to education, and children and grandchildren can enter the government as officials through scientific examinations.
The wealth is moving, the temptation that is difficult to refuse, and the bloody butcher's knife of the army, coupled with the fact that Liangshan can punish the heavens, and the destiny of heaven returns; Nevertheless, these people agreed to the migration.
So Sun Chuyin, the city lord of Baiyan City, was appointed by Cheng Yanjin as the commander of Lelang County to assist Sheng Yanshi, and Wang Wendu, who performed well in Beisha City, was appointed as the general of the garrison, and the two led 3,000 troops and 500,000 Liaodong people to Pyongyang with grain and grass supplies.
Appointed by Sheng Yanshi, the original Zhua County ordered Qi Yu to recognize Liaodong Taishou, and Meng Haigong's nephew Meng Xian served as a special driver, and the two led 500,000 Goguryeo civilians to enrich Liaodong together with 10,000 Sui people who moved from Liangshan.
After Liaoyang was taken, the cities of Xuansu, Momi, Maigu, Yinshan, and Houhuang in Liaodong surrendered one after another, and only one Anshi city was left still holding on.
The 10,000 Buyeo soldiers borrowed by Luo Song have more than 4,000 left after several wars; But these more than 4,000 people have already made a lot of money; In the end, Cheng Yanjin also gave them 50,000 deniers of grain and asked them to escort them back to Fuyuguo.
50,000 denier of food is about enough for 10,000 people to eat for a year, plus the property brought back by the troops, which has long made the king of Buyeo, Dayuanrong, happy. He hurriedly sent an envoy to meet Cheng Yanjin and wanted to establish diplomatic relations with Liangshan.
This time, Biting Jin and others scratched their heads, in what name did they establish diplomatic relations with others? Obviously, they can't represent the Great Sui; In the name of Liangshan, there is a bit of a small family; With Goguryeo it is even more impossible! Although Liaodong was led by Luo Song in the name of the King of Beiping, everyone was unwilling to use the name of Luo Yi.
Dongwang Yumei said: "Why bother so much, now people who are not people have already called the king!" Brother Cheng's territory is bigger than theirs, and there are more people than them, why can't he become a king? I think it's called King Liang! ”
When everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, they were a little excited, and they looked at Cheng Yanjin with a little eagerness.
Cheng Yanjin said to Cong Fang Yumei: "Don't talk nonsense!" How can we compare to those grass kings? Those people are just grabbing a handful for themselves, and we're different from them! ”
Li Jing smiled and said, "That's it!" Now it is declared to be the general manager of Shandong; Let's discuss what to do next. Slightly disappointed, the crowd discussed some more details and then dispersed.
Li Jing gave Qin Qiong and Zhang Ding a look, and the two stayed. "Big brother, second brother, third brother, what's the matter?" Cheng Yanjin pretended not to understand and asked.
Li Jing smiled: "Biting gold, you are a little cold in the hearts of the brothers!" I see that everyone is dissatisfied, so be careful that they leave you. ”
Cheng Biting Jin said: "Third brother, do you think you can be the king with my appearance?" Won't I be laughed at when I sit on the dragon chair! Besides, you also understand my character, I love to talk nonsense when my mouth is full, and I can't stand the restraint the most, so you should spare me! ”
Li Jing laughed and said: "Biting gold, I have shown you the face, your head of the Five Blessings is an indescribable appearance; And your head is magnificent, and you have to have a king's destiny for three years! This is all fate, you can't hide, you can rest assured that you will be the emperor for three years! ”
Cheng Yanjin was slightly stunned, and became interested in their physiognomy in his heart, this guy himself has really been a son of grass for three years; Do you really want to go down this old path?
"Let's talk about this matter again! As the third brother said, we are in a waste now, where is there time to think about this! For the time being, let's contact all parties in the name of the governor of Shandong! The third brother thought about how to appease Luo Yi, after all, Luo Song and they went out in the name of others. ”
Li Jing nodded: "I understand, this Youzhou is a buffer between us and the Central Plains." We can give him a part of the benefits; With Luo Song's link, it should be possible to negotiate. ”
"Third brother, don't underestimate Luo Yi! This guy is a ruthless man! However, I heard that he is not bad to his family, and with the help of Luo Song and Luo Lian, there should be a chance to understand him. ”
After talking for a while, Cheng Biting Jin said: "Third brother, Liaodong will be handed over to you." After we pacified the city of Anshi, we will return to Shandong first. Yang Guang has arrived at Yanmen Pass, it's time for us to take Shandong! ”
Li Jing nodded silently and said, "Don't worry!" I'll definitely guard this Liaodong for you! How many people are you going to take with you to Anshi? ”
Cheng Biting Jin said: "Anshi City is located in the plain, and there is no danger to defend; Moreover, there are only 10,000 thieves, and I am prepared to lead Han Shige's fire brigade of 5,000 people and Dengzhou elite 5,000 people; With Dongfang Yumei, their women's group has a total of 11,000 people, which is enough. ”
Li Jing nodded when he heard this: "It's okay!" Then we are here waiting for the good news of the victory of the biting gold. By the way, I'm going to warn you; According to Sun Chuyin's account, the guard of Anshi City was a Han man named Yang Wanchun. It is said that this man is skilled and resourceful, so you should be careful. ”
Cheng Yanjin nodded when he heard the words, and then asked Qin Qiong and the others to continue to train their soldiers at home, striving to raise the combat effectiveness of Dengzhou's elite to the level of the Liangshan army as soon as possible. Qin Qiong and Li Jing nodded in agreement.
