Chapter 256: The Source of Woe
The city of Liangzhou has been broken, but the high platform is still holding on, and so far it has repelled several enemy attacks. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because of the last time the city was broken, the city was blessed by misfortune, and the city wall was repaired very strongly. Coupled with Yang Bo's insistence and requirements, there were four new artillery pieces brought by Peng Yue from the capital in the small Gaotai City, so it was easy to defend.
The Tartar army didn't expect the defense of Gaotai to be so strong, and after attacking a few times, the momentum also decreased a lot, so they simply rested outside the city. But when they were relaxing, Yang Bo became interested, and simply went out of the city to fight back, not letting them stop for a moment. There weren't many Tartar soldiers, so Yang Bo was even more shocked when he rushed like that, and immediately ran into the distance.
"The Tartar has retreated, why don't you chase after him?" , Qiu Luan was still worried about defending the city just now, but now he saw the defeat of the Tartars and was driven away by Yang Bo, but he scolded Yang Bo again.
Yang Bo shook his head helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to chase, but I can't chase..."
"Why do you say this, aren't you afraid?" , Qiu Luan sneered.
Yang Bo couldn't help but secretly curse Qiu Luan's shamelessness in his heart: it was obviously he who was afraid, but now he was laughing at others in turn.
"Lord Qiu, don't you think it's strange that the Tartar army rashly came to attack the high platform?" , Yang Bo spoke, but he didn't look at Qiu Luan.
"What's wrong with that?" , Qiu Luan looked confident, "You must have planned to go out of the city to rescue Liangzhou, but you were discovered by the Tartars, so they brought troops to attack here." Purpose... Prevent you from going to rescue Liangzhou! ”
"The adult analyzed it well, I thought so at the beginning...", Yang Bo took a sip of tea unhurriedly. But then I found that the Tartars had come to attack the city in great numbers, and they were very fierce. If they just want to stop me from going to the rescue of Liangzhou City. They only had to send a small force to feign a siege, and they didn't have to go to such great length. Because the price they paid for such a siege was too great..."
Qiu Luan originally wanted to refute, but seeing that what Yang Bo said was indeed reasonable, he couldn't think of a better explanation for a while.
"There is only one explanation for their siege like this: they really want to take Gaotai City. It's just that they didn't expect the defense of Gaotai City to be so strong. Yang Bo suddenly sighed, his gaze became deep, "They will definitely have to move the rescue soldiers, if I rush to pursue." Maybe we'll run into another army of theirs outside the city, and we'll be in a dangerous situation..."
"I don't know why they're rushing to attack the platform, but I know the best thing to do right now is to stay in the city and defend. The city of Gaotai is strong, and they... Can't be attacked. Yang Bo said confidently.
Qiu Luan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a soldier who rushed in to report the news: "Big... My lord, a large number of Tartar troops have appeared outside the city, more than just now... And more..."
"What?" , Qiu Luan was shocked when he heard it. Suddenly he got up from his seat and paced back and forth in the room restlessly, "How is this good..."
Yang Bo glanced at Qiu Luan and walked in front of the soldier. "Don't panic, continue to insist on the defensive method just now, and nothing will go wrong..."
Subsequently. Yang Bo left the house and began to explain the specific defensive measures and orders to several personal soldiers. Let them communicate to the generals of the various gates.
However, it is said that Yang Bo was originally born in Wenchen, although he practiced martial arts on weekdays. But the martial arts are not too sophisticated, so they usually don't dare to set foot on the battlefield lightly, but they make overall arrangements and patrol strategies. But now that the situation was urgent, he also hurried to the north gate to defend.
But Qiu Luan was worried, he had been worried and remorseful about the fact that he had just come to Gaotai and that Gaotai was besieged, and now he heard that the Tartars were attacking the city again, and there were more people, and he couldn't help but be anxious and afraid.
And Yang Bo has been in charge of the defense of the high platform, and Qiu Luan knows that Yang Bo's military ability is stronger than his own, so he can't care about playing official tricks with Yang Bo at this time, so he can only listen to his deployment, and he can only say nothing here.
He knew that he was not sure to defend this Gaotai City, but he just hoped that Yang Bo could quickly defeat the Tartars, so that he could quickly escape back to Ganzhou City without fear here.
Qiu Luan was at this moment of distraction, and Yang Bo rushed in.
"Lord Yang, how is it, how is the battle?" , Qiu Luan grabbed Yang Bo and asked anxiously.
"It's okay... has repelled the attack of the Tartars...", Yang Bo sat on the stool, obviously tired.
"The Tartars are back?" , Qiu Luan smiled excitedly, "Then when can I go out of the city and return to Ganzhou?" ”
"Lord Qiu...", Yang Bo looked at Qiu Luan a little helplessly, "Tartar is just defeated, not retreated, so you can only stay here first." The city is well defended, and you won't miss anything here..."
"It's... Gaotai City is small, if the Tartars keep increasing their troops... How could it be...", Qiu Luan looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, obviously he was still not at ease about staying on the high platform.
"Report...", a soldier pounced directly at Qiu Luan's feet, "Lord Qiu, Gan... Ganzhou is besieged..."
"Huh? How can it be? Qiu Luan was shocked when he heard this, and his heart was beating wildly.
"How dare the villain deceive you...", the soldier knelt on the ground and gasped, "After you left, a group of Tartar troops came to the city of Ganzhou, ready to attack the city, but we were all repulsed. ”
"Since you've repelled it, why did you come here to report it?" , Qiu Luan furrowed his brows and stared at the soldier in front of him.
"They are still outside the city, although the siege has slowed down, but...", the soldier hesitated, as if he did not dare to say any more.
"But what? Say! Qiu Luan's inner irritability could not be suppressed at all.
"They say... I've found out that you're an adult... In this Gaotai City, and said that he had broken through Gaotai City and captured him alive... My lord, and said... Let's surrender the city..."
"Nonsense!" , Qiu Luan was so angry that he kicked the soldier to the ground. This sentence sounded like scolding both the Tartars and the soldiers.
Qiu Luan is not all angry because Ganzhou City is besieged, but because the soldier's words clearly reveal a fact: the reason why the Tartars attacked the city was because they knew that they were in this Gaotai City, and in their eyes, the defense of Gaotai City was much weaker than that of Ganzhou, and they had easily broken through Gaotai, so they wanted to take this opportunity to capture Gaotai and capture themselves alive.
Qiu Luan heard this meaning, how could Yang Bo and the others not hear it. I blamed Yang Bo just now, saying that it was because he went out of the city to rescue that he caused the disaster of Gaotai, but he didn't expect that all this was because he came to Gaotai rashly. Now Qiu Luan is so ashamed that he can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into... (To be continued.) )
