Chapter 21: The Bloody Battle of Wuyang (1)
Similar to the previous life, the location of Jidu is roughly in what is now Beiping, and Wuyang is roughly near Zhangjiakou, with the west and north traversing the Taihang and Juyan mountain ranges, and the east and south being a plain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Most of the tiger captivators were cavalry, and the rest of the foot soldiers were accompanied by horses on their feet, and they pursued the fleeing foot soldiers on the wide plains, like tigers fighting rabbits, and could be captured without difficulty. So the small towns around Wuyang were broken one by one, and those who sent letters for help were shot halfway. Wuyang has become a real lonely city.
The Hu people generally went south for money and food, and they left after plundering, so the Yan army set up a defense to keep an eye on the rich cities of Jidu, and did not pay much attention to the "poor countryside" near Wuyang.
But this time, the East Jackal King did not intend to go south with wealth and population, but to look at the land of Yan State, and to conquer this Xia nation that had been established for nearly a thousand years.
Wuyang is the former capital of Yan State, the land of the temple, its significance is extraordinary for Yan State, if the spirit of the first monarch of Yan State is wrapped in Xingdu, Yan State will be psychologically defeated. At that time, who in the countries of Zhuxia will still look down on this country that can't even keep the temple.
This plan is not poisonous, the temple must not understand the important Hu people of the princes of Zhuxia, and it is difficult for ordinary people to come up with such a plan that greatly damages Yin morality. Except for Li Yuan, who was standing in front of Zhao in a cold sweat, he was originally a Nanyi of the Chu people, and he didn't have much affection for Zongmiao, but he knew the importance of Zongmiao to others.
"The Hu people have never fought Wuyang in previous years, why did they mobilize 100,000 troops to attack today?"
Gongsun Ya covered his head and said to himself, even when he was the capital of Yan Kingdom, Wuyang was not attacked by the Hu people, but he was caught up by himself, and he had to say that he was very unlucky.
Zhao Zheng tilted his head and said: "Isn't it because this was the capital of Yan State, and now it is still the capital of Yan State, and it has a very heavy symbolic meaning for Yan State, and the Hu people want to hit the morale of the army and people of Yan State." ”
Li Yuan snorted, and quickly pricked up his ears, if he talked about the Zongmiao, he would definitely not be able to escape it, just ask who can come up with this plan.
"Mr. Li, can you tell me about the alliance with the Hu people, so that I can see the intentions of the Hu people to go south this time."
After all, he was still targeted, Li Yuan smiled bitterly: "The year before last, after returning from Donghu, a merchant in Chu State, Jia Jia, entered the palace to meet my king and told him that the wolf king had the intention of fighting against Zhou with Chu Lian. My king then sent envoys to negotiate with the wolf king secretly several times, and there has never been a clear rule to this day, but it was agreed that the Hu people would lead a large army to attack the Zhou countries, and the Chu state would send troops to contain the Zhou forces at the same time. ”
"Shameless Chu Man, do you want your Xianjun Xiong Bi or Xianwen King canonized, and dare to betray Huaxia?"
Gongsun Yan screamed, the power of the desolation in his body suddenly rose, and he gritted his teeth and glared at Li Yuan, but he didn't take a step under his feet.
Li Yuan calmly stared at the full hall of disdain and abuse, and arched his hand: "Everyone, the first monarch of the Chu State is King Wen of Zhou, but he was only made a viscount, and he was only fifty miles of land.
However, after the kings of the Great Chu Dynasty were ragged and created a foundation, the Zhou family actually coveted it, but the southern expedition to the Great Chu was defeated and died on the journey.
It was deserved to invade the land and seek its own death, but the Zhou family stained the reputation of my Great Chu, and then the Great Chu called the king to start a new stove, and more than ten generations became five thousand miles of rivers and mountains to dominate the southern country.
Zhu Xia Ke had looked at the Chu State, and he still really treated each other with courtesy, and that time it was not the Chu sword against his neck that he recognized the Great Chu as respectful against his will. ”
In fact, Li Yuan was not afraid of swords, and the more he spoke, the more fierce he became, and finally Gongsun lowered his head and said nothing. Zi said: If there is no Qi Huan, I will wear my hair on the left. If you don't name and scold the costumes of the Chu State, it can be seen that the countries of Zhuxia despise the Chu State.
Zhao Zheng listened patiently, which was roughly consistent with the history of his previous life, and he lost interest, and said: "Mr. Li, this general only asked you to say that the alliance did not intend to hear you Chu State win the Central Plains, you only need to say how many siege equipment such as ladders and stone throwers used by the Hu people outside the country were helped by the Chu State." ”
Although the scholars took away a lot of exquisite equipment, they were like top-level national weapons such as stone throwers and ladders, and those scholars who ran to Donghu in despair did not have that way to master, but they had seen the finished products and understood the production, and imitated a rough idea.
However, the stone-throwing machine of the Tiger Capture Army can collapse the city wall, which shows that this is a first-class manufacturing technology donated by the countries of Zhuxia.
Li Yuan ate and whined for a long time, and said: "The country's diplomatic relations are based on profits, and the state of Chu only treats Donghu like Qi Zhou, why not?" ”
"No matter what, it's just that I can feel more at ease when I kill you."
Li Yuan was shocked: "The general spared his life, and the old man was only on the king's orders, and besides, fifteen stone throwers couldn't open Wuyang." ”
Zhao Zheng waved his hand to let the warrior retreat, Li Yuan was shocked, wiped the cold sweat on his head and said: "Wuyang is built by Zhaogong, it is extremely strong, and the stones are superimposed on the seams of molten iron, and not a single ant can drill through."
Moreover, Wuyang is slightly higher than the Hu camp in the east of the city, and the general can drain the water of the small lake in the forbidden city, so that the small river in front of the Hu camp will soar, although it cannot make the Hu people retreat, but it can also bring trouble to them.
Wuyang City is five feet high, and the cloud ladder can reach the head of the city, but it takes a moment to set it up, and the general can also use this gap to put down the rolling stones and block the wood, and then it is not enough to use gold juice to water, why kill the old man. ”
The top strategist of Chu State, Chun Shenjun's disciple is really not in vain, the advantages of a Wuyang City are not far from ten, and he also came up with a vicious plan to scald the Hu people with gold juice, and the name of the poisoner has since fallen.
"Hahaha, Mr. opens his mouth so many clever schemes, how can General Ben be willing to kill you." Zhao Zheng smiled and said: "Mr. has slept well recently, is it good to eat, if you don't dislike it, you can come to live in General Ben's mansion, so that General Ben can listen to Mr.'s clever plan day and night." ”
Li Yuan snorted and hurriedly said: "Everything is fine in the next place, thanks to the general's concern, just don't scare the old man in the future, my hair has turned gray these days." ”
"You're polite, I promise I won't let you become Wu Zixu."
The warrior carried the stunned Li Yuan down, and he was still thinking about Wu Zixu's white head overnight.
"Give the order to go down, collect the big tripod and dung soup, boil it over the fire, and put the arrows in it to boil, and tell the brothers to be careful not to hurt themselves after cooking."
Bacterial infection, there is no tetanus these years, Zhao Zhengguang thought about how to use rolling wood and stones, and almost forgot about this cheap good thing, and caught Li Yuan at a loss.
Holding the big ding, carrying the dung soup, a few soldiers covered their noses to light the fire, and after a while, the smell wafted down the city, and each of them had a cloth strip on their mouths.
Zhao Zheng stood in the county government and could smell a foul smell, thinking about the scene of these "golden juices" poured on the Hu people, Zhao Zheng leaned over and wanted to vomit, that scene was really sour.
The Hu people attacked very fiercely, but most of them were at the east gate, so Zhao Zheng mobilized 500 Baomin troops from the west gate to support, and even called Tao Yuan to command. Liang Ji took over the West Gate guards, but it was only a small force attack.
Zhao Zheng himself is busier in the city, dismantling the grain and grass is easy to say, it is really difficult to do, those big households are all princes and nobles, and the grain in the warehouse is not known to be embezzled by them, at this time the city is about to be broken, but no one is willing to take out food to stabilize people's hearts.
"Oriental Valley, who's next?"
After pulling out a thousand stones of grain and grass from the hands of the next doctor, Zhao Zheng returned in a huff, but the court was prosperous but he was instigated by the thousands of stones of grain and grass, which made Zhao Zheng despise these clans.
Dongfang Gu saw that his boss was irritable and persuaded: "I'd rather throw a thousand stones of grain than give up a piece of the pie." Why bother to turn their faces with these clans, they are all nobles who have accumulated years and have never suffered hardships, just let them go to the city to take a look. ”
"Well, good idea."
Zhao Zheng took another look at him, this person was by no means a simple warehouse official.
"You don't have to go to the next house, you take the brothers to go from house to house according to the list, and let them see how hard the brothers have worked for them."
Yutou immediately left with the Mo Dao team, they didn't have much use in defending the city, they were all holding fire in their stomachs, and they often killed on the spot when they broke the law, and when they invited people from those clans, they were like arresting criminals.
Zhao Zhengcai didn't care about this, and even indulged the soldiers to treat rudely, as if they didn't tear down the door of the nobleman's house, they wouldn't be the people's army. But because of this, the other county soldiers all looked up to the Protector Army.
"Now that Captain Yu has gone, it's time for the lower officials to leave, and the family is still waiting for me to get the rice to the pot."
After the war, Wuyang City implemented a supply system, and some people who were poor and had no food had to receive some corn every day to satisfy their hunger, but an official like Dongfang Valley who paid 600 stones was really the first one.
Zhao Zheng had the intention to win over, and arched his hand: "I'll find someone to help you send the corn back, how about Brother Dongfang have a banquet with me?" "I don't call him to do his job, and he is directly commensurate with his brotherhood. Dongfang Gu was puzzled, why was his poor little official worthy of Zhao Zheng's friendship, but why not cling to a young general who dared to fight.
Dongfang Gu shook to the ground: "The lowly little official An dares to be intersected by the adult, if the adult does not abandon it, he is willing to accompany the adult to the Yanchun Jun's mansion for a banquet." ”
Zhao Zheng's eyes lit up: "Brother Dongfang, you have used your strength to prove that you are qualified to intersect with me." Come with me and see what new tricks Ji Kui has. ”
