Chapter 147 The Battle of Yangcheng (6)
Under the light of the setting sun, the combined army of the black and oppressive Sabah tribe and the Tibetan soldiers, with strong steps, advanced to the city gate of Yangcheng, and in the sound of the scar's majestic order, the team stopped steadily in front of the low wall of Yangcheng, and in front of them was the Sabah cavalry who arrived earlier.
Seeing the arrival of the friendly troops, Worm Zha hurriedly drove his horse forward from the cavalry regiment, trotted to the coalition infantry, nodded to Lin Yuan, who was standing in front of the team, and then said:
"King! I have sent people to shout under the city gate for a long time, but there is no response from inside! ”
Lin Yuan smiled and nodded slightly, and then he began to look left and right, as if he was waiting for someone.
A moment later, his eyes lit up, and two earthy yellow figures came out from behind a pile of sand on the outskirts of Yang City, and ran towards this side.
He also turned his head, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but be happy.
It turned out that the two people who came were Hou Yi and Kuafu, because they hid on the beach next door all day, the two of them were blown into dirt by the wind and sand, and they were disgraced.
"Report! I...... It's all over! Haha, I'll go, I didn't expect you...... It really became...... King? ”
Father Kua was the first to run to Lin Yuan's side and said with some surprise.
"Where did the outcasts come from! Don't be rude to the king! Suddenly, he lifted the reins and lay in front of Kuafu.
Lin Yuan smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"Ganzha, don't worry, it's okay, this person is a friend I met in the Huang Clan Fan Barracks, his name is Kuafu, thanks to him to deliver the information, my plan was implemented, then again...... Well, you're really fast! ”
Father Kua stuck out his tongue at the cana, bypassed the other party, stood in front of Lin Yuan, and said triumphantly:
"That's natural, if you talk about running, I praise my father for claiming to be second, and no one in this Central Plains dares to call him first!"
"Cut ......" Zha couldn't help but let out a dissatisfied voice, the unkempt homeless person in front of him was arrogant and arrogant, and he didn't respect the king at all, which made him very unhappy.
Lin Yuan didn't care anymore, because he knew in his heart that throughout the long history of China, only a king who appoints merit and informality will become a real leader.
"Ha, Hou Yi is also back!" Lin Yuan nodded at Kuafu's back, and an earthy yellow native appeared in front of everyone.
"Whew...... Wow...... Praise your father...... Running ...... It's so fast!! ”
Hou Yi said breathlessly, the dust on his body was worse than that of Kuafu, and the whole person looked at it at a glance, as if it was like a sculpture, if it weren't for the fact that his eyes and mouth were still moving, he couldn't see that he was a living person at all.
Lin Yuan hurriedly ordered someone to hand over a bag of water, and after Hou Yi drank it all, he gasped for breath a few times, and only after his breathing was calm did he face Lin Yuan and said respectfully:
"King Yan! It's so nice to see you back safely! I was worried about it before...... Later, I met this brother who praised his father and heard him tell him about your affairs in the Fan barracks...... What I want to say is...... King Yan, you are too powerful!! ”
Lin Yuan smiled slightly, and everyone was also smiling.
Kuafu hurriedly said:
"Hey! O you, don't patronize the whiskers, your king himself said just now, and I have the greatest credit! ......"After that, Kuafu hugged his arms and looked proud.
When he heard this, he couldn't help but be furious, and he roared violently:
"This person is too rampant!! How can you ......?"
Lin Yuan hurriedly gave Hou Yi a color, and the latter immediately stepped forward with a smile, patted the shoulder of the dragon, and whispered something.
Kuafu also seemed to find that his performance was a little too selfish, he stuck out his tongue, looked at Hou Yi, and then looked at Lin Yuan, and after coughing dryly, he hurriedly said:
"Well, that's not the case, like your Hou Yi...... His credit should not be small...... Anyway, I've never seen someone so good at archery, and after a distance of more than a hundred steps, he can still hit every shot! And you can also stay in one position for the whole day...... This perseverance...... Admire! ”
Lin Yuan maintained a smiling expression, and suddenly lifted the reins, and the black rabbit horse neighed, interrupting Kuafu's words, and said loudly in a strong voice:
"That's it! I have all the merits of everyone in my heart, and when I will follow me to capture this city, I will reward you for your merits, and I will definitely fulfill my promise to you! Now! We still have one last task to complete, and that is ......"
"Siege ??" Kuafu raised his eyebrows and interjected, he seemed to be looking forward to what was going to happen next, a little bit gloating for Yangcheng.
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, glared at his father, and then said:
"Nope! We are here, patiently waiting! ”
"Huh?" Kuafu showed an inexplicable look of surprise.
He was also a little surprised, he turned around and asked, "Wait?" Aren't we going to attack the city, my lord? ”
Hou Yi looked at Yu Zha, then at Lin Yuan, and then said:
"King Yan...... To attack...... I think we have a 90% chance of winning......"
Lin Yuan looked around at everyone, nodded confidently, and said:
"Yes, wait! We wait! No siege! Believe me, the gates will open before sunset......"
Hearing Lin Yuan's reply, everyone felt incredulous, but this was their leader's order, and they didn't dare to refute it.
As the minutes and seconds passed, Lin Yuan and the army stood outside the city gate, except for a few soldiers with loud voices who kept shouting towards the city according to the pre-determined words, there was no other movement.
After another torch time, the sun finally sank half into the horizon, leaving only a trace of afterglow, refracting the clouds in the west, forming an unusually beautiful fiery cloud.
Several torches were lit in the ranks of the coalition forces, illuminating the surroundings.
Kuafu was bored and drew circles with his feet in the sand and stones on the ground, circle after circle...... It wasn't until he drew the 50th circle that he finally couldn't help it and said, "I said...... Dude, it's getting dark...... This ......"
Suddenly, there was a sound from the city gate behind him: "Crunch......"
Kuafu turned around abruptly, and when his eyes fell on the city gate, his mouth couldn't help but grow and his shock could not be greater.
The gates of Yangcheng are opened!
In the dark city gate, a few flickering torches appeared, and then a few people who probed their brains cautiously appeared near the city gate, and a slightly chubby woman shouted loudly to the coalition forces outside:
"That...... The Chosen One!! I...... We don't want to be the enemy of the Ancient Yan King...... We are willing to give our town...... I just want ...... King Yan was able to bypass the names of our people......"
After working hard for a long time, he finally closed his mouth, he turned around in shock, looked at Lin Yuan, and muttered:
"Dude...... Oh! No! Yanwang ...... You...... How, exactly? How do you know??? Will they open the gates themselves?? ”
Lin Yuan smiled at his father, and only whispered one word:
"Fear".
Then he ignored the dazed praise of his father, drove his horse forward, and shouted loudly:
"People in the city! I am your King Yan! Trust me! As long as you cooperate and sacrifice the city and the city lord, I will not hurt anyone in the city, and everyone can believe my promise!! ”
"......" There was silence for a moment in the dark gates, and then the woman spoke again, saying:
"Why should we trust you...... The promise?? ”
Lin Yuan paused, and in a majestic voice, he said word by word:
"King Yan's words must be done as soon as they come out! You can take a look at these soldiers beside me, there are many of them, they used to be your friends and relatives, you can ask them personally, in the Mobei battlefield, the promise I made to them, now, have come true! ”
The townsman immediately replied:
"We've heard that! There are three promises! ”
Lin Yuan nodded slightly, glanced at Father Kua from the corner of his eye, and continued to say calmly:
"Yes, that's right...... Three promises in total! Help them fulfill three wishes! Right now, as long as you are willing, these three can also be realized in you! ”
"My first wish is that I and my family will have a prosperous and healthy life in the future, and we will never fight for food."
"The second wish is to hope that they can be safe and free forever, even if they are defeated and surrendered, they will not be hunted down by the Huang clan according to the morality of the soldiers."
"The third wish is that they can get a place to live, no longer wander around, and live in peace."
Lin Yuan finished the three wishes in one breath, paused, and then continued:
"First wish! I can help you do it now! I declare it now! All the members of the soldiers who returned to the Shun will receive a bag of salt tomorrow! It's the precious thing that appeared in Yangcheng a few days ago! You understand their value!! ”
As soon as Lin Yuan's words fell, the surrounding soldiers immediately raised their weapons, excitedly, and shouted slogans.
"Second wish! Now it's happening! Someone! Bring things up!! “
Lin Yuan waved his hand and pointed to a clearing in front of the city gate, and after a while, dozens of soldiers were holding a large pile of miscellaneous armor and threw it there.
Someone lit a huge torch and illuminated the clearing.
The people standing in the city gate looked at the pile of things carefully, and couldn't help but be surprised in their hearts, they saw the pair of things clearly, which was the armor of the Huang warriors.
It is tanned from the finest cowhide, with fine threads sewn by fine precision, and even leather armor worn by some captains, and at the seams of the armor, there are special thin pure brass plates, showing the nobility of status.
"This is the second wish! The troops of the Huang clan who came to suppress the soldiers have been wiped out, so you don't have to worry about being chased and killed by the Huang clan! ”
Lin Yuan's words fell, and there was silence around him, but it was obvious that the city gate began to be crowded.
"Then, now there is one last wish left, I need to help them get a place to live, this place, this place, is Yang City! At the same time, this will also be your own city, and I will make this a pearl outside the plug, Yangcheng! will no longer be exploited by the Huang family! And you will be the true masters of this city!!! ”
As soon as Lin Yuan's words fell, in an instant, there was an overwhelming roar from the city wall.
All the people were boiling. (To be continued.) )
