285. The blood of Chucheng did not move forward
"Retreat!"
"Finally retreated!"
Cheers rang out at the head of the city, and as the twilight fell, the fierce battle of the day finally came to an end, and the thieves could only look at the city with reluctance, and then retreated back to the camp with hatred.
The battle situation on this day was twists and turns, and it was really thrilling.
The thief's Yin Gate Array can actually make the cannon dumb fire, and Li Juesi hung out the Tuanyue used by the woman's feces, and he was able to fight poison with poison, causing the cannon at the head of the city to roar again.
In fact, this is entirely caused by the psychological effect of the defenders of the city's cannons, but the ancients were superstitious, and at this time they were inevitably suspicious.
Even the disciples of saints like Fang Kongzhi, Li Juesi and Liu Dagong can't help but wonder if what Confucius said about respecting ghosts and gods and staying away is not correct.
"Finally got through it again...... Today, it is said that Liukou is attacking the city, and he does not hesitate to take his life, it seems that the dog is jumping off the wall in a hurry. Li Juesi said triumphantly.
He was indeed conceited in his heart, and in the face of the Yin Gate Array of the Liukou, everyone was at a loss, but he thought of the method of fighting poison with poison.
"Ming said that the Liukou attacked the city, but I am afraid that it will be more fierce." Liu Dagong said worriedly: "As Gong Li said, Liukou is a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, and it is estimated that after two or three more attacks, they will retreat." ”
"Ming is the key, tonight you have to guard against thieves stealing the city." Fang Kong said.
"Yes, yes, that's what the submariner said!"
Although more than 2,000 corpses were thrown under the city today, the main force of the thieves was not damaged, and they must be discussing how to attack the city at this time.
As they expected, in Gao Yingxiang's big tent, the leaders of the puffing up families are ushered in today.
Originally, the Liukou were not good at attacking cities, but since they broke Feng'yang last year, they have also begun to try to attack fortified cities by various means. However, it is still rare to lose more than 2,000 people in a single day, as in Chuzhou. There are 150,000 people in Xiudao, but most of them are old and weak women and children with limited combat effectiveness, and there are about 60,000 young and strong people.
"How do you attack the city?" After everyone entered the account, they asked in unison.
Gao Yingxiang smiled dumbly: "Don't wait for Ming, attack the city tonight, send people to steal the city, if you can open the city gate, if you can't open it, attack it directly." I don't believe it, but the people of the city are made of iron. ”
Everyone looked at each other, and after a while, Ge Li said with a sad face: "King Chuang, I say that my department has suffered a lot today......
Gao Yingxiang stood up, his bones were wide, so his body was also extremely tall, and Ge Li's words were suddenly stuck in his throat, and he couldn't continue.
"Tonight's siege is dominated by our department." Gao Yingxiang's eyes were fierce: "Ge Liyan, Cao Ying, you two help me, and the rest of the departments will feint to attack elsewhere." King Zuojin, you have to prepare the rear, don't forget that there is a tiger cub behind you! ”
Since he said this, everyone had no opinions, but Yu Guozhen was really like a man on their backs to them, and when everyone went out of the account to prepare, there were still people saying: "Let's give the government a headache, relying on it is to run away, this tiger cub gives us a headache, relying on the same beating and running, the donkey said, I didn't think we would have today, I tasted the taste of the government!" ”
Hearing this, Gao Yingxiang also looked helpless.
They are called rogues by the government, because they come and go like the wind, and they leave with one blow, and now Yu Guozhen uses his own way to return his body, which makes them very painful.
During the day, when they were attacking the city, they saw more than 100 Yu Guozhen's rangers wandering around the periphery, and they sent 300 horsemen to chase after them, drove them away, and came back.
But there is such a group of strong enemies that may appear at any time, after all, it is not easy to feel bad.
At night, some dark shadows quietly approached the city wall of Chuzhou, and they climbed up to the city with flying hooks, moving as swiftly as apes.
Gao Yingxiang waited quietly under the city for news, as long as they went to the city and seized control of the city gate, they would raise fire to signal, and then the army would press up. If he fails, he will not be discouraged, and he will attack tonight, and he must break the city!
Then he heard screams.
Gao Yingxiang sighed, the city is really prepared, just as he also guarded against Yu Guozhen's sneak attack, the city also guarded against his sneak attack.
"Raise fire, siege the city!"
He ordered with a wave of his hand.
Suddenly, the fire under Chu'zhou City was bright, and a fire dragon meandered up, surrounding Chu'zhou City!
Countless torches were also lit at the head of the city, and the firelight inside and outside the city illuminated the clouds in the sky turning red, the clouds pressed the city, the wind howled, and the breath of everyone on the battlefield seemed to freeze in an instant.
A bloody battle is about to break out.
At the same time, forty miles away from Chu'zhou Hong, Yu Yiyuan gasped for breath and rolled down from his horse.
"I want to see General Soldier!" He said loudly.
"The chief soldier has already slept." The oncoming Guan Ning Army said coldly.
"There is an emergency military situation!"
Then Guan Ningjun came up and looked at it: "Are you the military academy under Prime Minister Lu's account?" ”
"Exactly, I came by order, and I have Prime Minister Lu's letter to be handed over to General Zu!"
Gao Yingxiang didn't expect that Lu Xiangsheng would come faster than he thought! General Zu Kuan, guerrilla Luo Dai, and deputy general Li Mingfu galloped for five days and nights after the Feng'yang Conference, and had already arrived at the periphery of Chu'zhou.
But Lu Xiangsheng was also an old fighter, he did not rush to attack, but stayed on the periphery, waiting for the opportunity, and just sent Zukuan to hide less than fifty miles away from Chuzhou.
For the one-man and two-horse Guan Ning army led by Zu Kuan, fifty miles ...... You can get there in the middle of the night.
"Let him in!" Zu Kuan got up in the tent and put on his clothes.
After a while, Yu Yiyuan was brought to Zu Kuan, and seeing his dusty appearance, Zu Kuan nodded, and his gloomy face eased: "You entered Chu'zhou City?" ”
"Yes, the villain met Yu Youhu by luck, he took the villain to kill the enemy formation, and went directly to the city of Chu'zhou."
"Huh?"
When Zu Kuan heard Yu Guozhen, he was very unhappy, and motioned Yu Yiyuan to hand over the letter, and took a look, but it was Lu Xiangsheng who made an appointment with him, and said that they would march together, meet Yu Guozhen under the city of Chuzhou, and then fight the thieves together.
Zu Kuan's heart is even more unhappy, he is dignified Guanning Army, since entering the customs, he has almost swept the thieves, and defeated the thieves several times in Henan, Lu Xiangsheng's prestige, one relies on the Tianxiong Army composed of relatives and friends he brought from his hometown, and the other relies on Guanning generals like him.
But now after entering Nanzhili, there is a Yu Guozhen who steals his limelight!
"You are in Chuzhou, what is the situation?" He asked.
Yu Yiyuan's heart jumped suddenly, and his hand involuntarily pinched his waist.
There was a bag of gold, and when he was rescued from the enemy army by Tian Boguang, Yu Guozhen gave it to him, which weighed a pound.
"When you return, Prime Minister Lu will ask the ancestor to fight the thief after the general army joins forces, and you will order the order to pass a message to the ancestral general army, and the ancestor general soldier will ask Jun Chu about the situation in the state. If asked, the king only said that I had broken the thief, beheaded the king of the world, and Yao soldiers were under the city of Chu'zhou. ”
Therefore, Yu Yiyuan did not talk about the situation of the Liukou company camp outside Chuzhou City for dozens of miles, but said how Yu Guozhen set up an ambush in Shimiao Village in the east of the city to defeat the thieves.
Zu Kuan felt that the roots of his teeth were itching.
In his eyes, the elite soldiers are all from the north, Yu Guozhen is nothing, but he is just a yellow-mouthed child, and after beating some hairy thieves and grass cowards, he dares to show off his power in front of him, and even repeatedly robs him of his credit!
It is to snatch his credit, in Zu Kuan's eyes, whatever King Chuang reincarnates, it is his credit!
"I asked you about the situation in Chu'zhou and the situation of Liukou, but I didn't ask you about the situation of Yu Xiao'er, you only said that the situation in Chu'zhou is!" The impatient Zu Kuan shouted.
"The ancestor general will be angry, and ask Jun Chu about the situation in the state, and you can tell the city how to deal with the thieves and robbers......
Yu Yiyuan thought of what Yu Guozhen said, and his heart was not only impressed.
He has also heard that Mr. Zu and Yu Guozhen seem to be a little discordant, and judging from Yu Guozhen's deep understanding of people's hearts, although this Mr. Zu is a high-ranking and powerful person, he is simply dancing in the palm of other hands.
He said again about the persistence of Chu's state, these are facts, not lies at all, hearing that Chu's state still has the strength to defend the city, Zu Kuan's heart is more like a cat scratching.
He knew that this was an opportunity, the thieves were trapped under the fortified city, there was an attack from outside, and if he exerted a little more pressure, then the thieves would be defeated. After the thieves fled, the rest of the matter was simple, nothing more than chasing after the ass for harvesting.
"Speaking of the situation of the thieves, since you broke through the thieves and arrived at the city of Chuzhou, you should know that the thieves are real and false!"
Zu Kuan urged for the third time, this was still in Yu Guozhen's expectations, Yu Yiyuan began to talk about the thieves camping for dozens of miles, and the command was chaotic, and it was only because Yu Guozhen was forced that he had to shrink his troops, but there were constant conflicts between them.
"When the villain came, watching the situation of the thief, the thief seemed to be extremely urgent, and he probably knew the news brought by the villain, and knew that Premier Lu and General Zu were not far away, and he was anxious to capture Chu'zhou City, and he defended it in danger. The villain saw that they had prepared a lot of firewood and grass, and guessed that it might be a night battle. Yu Yiyuan finally said.
"Ignition Night War?" Zu Kuan muttered to himself, and his originally crooked body sat up straight: "Is this true?" ”
"The villain guessed blindly, but the thieves were disturbed by Yu Youhu, and they were heavily guarded, if the ancestor wanted to attack at night, I was afraid that it would be difficult to get the full success."
"Night raid?" Zu Kuan laughed, under the light of the torch, his smile was very hideous: "What is Yu Guozhen, he can't attack at night, how can my ancestor not be able to attack at night?" Since you are here, you should work harder, and immediately go back to report to Premier Lu, the military situation is urgent, and the opportunity must not be lost, so I will send troops to relieve the siege of Chuzhou! ”
Yu Yiyuan is just a school guard, where can he dare to persuade, and he has the gold sent by Yu Guozhen wrapped around his waist, it is impossible to persuade him! Suddenly, the horns were already in Zu Kuan's camp, and when Yu Yiyuan rode on his horse and went to deliver a letter to Lu Xiangsheng, the sound of orders could already be heard in Zu Kuan's camp.
The sound of iron armor colliding, the sound of shouting and scolding, and the sound of heroic laughter all poured into Yu Yiyuan's ears.
The Guanning army was the first soldier of the Ming Dynasty at this time, and the efficiency of the response was still quite outstanding, and it didn't take long for the three thousand Guanning army to start marching towards Chu'zhou.
Yu Yiyuan turned back from afar at this time, but what shocked him was not Guan Ningjun's reaction speed, but Yu Guozhen's grasp of all this. Zu Kuan's entire reaction was expected by Yu Guozhen, which made Yu Yiyuan feel terrified and secretly happy.
Fortunately, he did not offend the tiger cub.
