After the sky was bright, Li Yao sent two companies of soldiers to guard the east city wall to observe the movements of the enemy troops in the city.

The army quickly assembled in front of the second acropolis, and Cheng Changping had the same idea, there were indeed a lot of people and soldiers gathered in front of the city gate, looking at these people and soldiers, Li Yao secretly thought, "Are all these people and soldiers killed or captured?" ”

If they are all killed, they will inevitably fill in the title of murderous person, and the soldiers of the second acropolis will definitely resist to the death when they see their companions killed, which is not good for their own conquest!

But if you want to capture them, it is not a simple matter, after all, there are fifty or sixty thousand people and soldiers here, and there are only 60,000 people in total, and it is quite difficult to capture them!

It seems that only by driving them away and driving them away can we attack this acropolis!

Li Yao said to the commander of the firearms regiment: "Fire a few cannons in a place where there is no one and blow these people away!" ”

After receiving the order, the commander of the firearms regiment shouted to the artillery shooters: "Artillery ready, bombard where no one is around!" ”

The gunners raised their muzzles and meowed where no one was!

The commander of the firearms regiment, seeing that the artillery shooters were ready, shouted: "Fire!" ”

The roaring cannon sounded, and the big iron egg smashed into the city wall, and the bluestones on the wall were all smashed!

Li Yao saw that the effect was good, and picked up the iron horn and shouted: "Everyone leave this place quickly, and when there is a stick of incense, we will cover this place with artillery fire!" ”

The people and soldiers under the city wall came to the second acropolis to escape for their lives, but the guards of the second acropolis did not let them in, and they were all ready to die, but as soon as they heard Li Yao say that they would let them live, their minds became active, who wants to die if they can live?

Seeing that Li Yao's army did not continue to fire, those soldiers and farmers ran to a place where there was no one, and after a stick of incense, there was no figure in the city!

The defenders on the city wall also heard Li Yao's shout, and the adjutant general said, "General, what should we do?" Just now, the enemy commander is going to cover this place with artillery fire, and we will die! ”

The enemy's commander also heard Li Yao's shout, and at this time he swallowed his saliva and said, "Don't worry, let me think about it?" ”

The lord of this acropolis is the descendant of Yang Yun, and he usually does not respect Yang Yun less, but the lord of the acropolis has no money, so he has the idea of military spending, and half of the usual embezzled money is filial to Yang Yun, and half of it goes into his own pocket!

So the armament at this time is very poor, but after all, it is the Yidu Acropolis, and there is no money for large weapons to maintain, and the crossbow can still be done by everyone!

It's just that relying on the crossbow to fight with the firearms on the opposite side is an unlikely thing, so when the first acropolis was attacked, the generals of the second acropolis had already sent people to Yidu for help, but now Yangyun can't divide the troops at all, and 20,000 troops must be arranged in the palace to restrain the seventh prince, and then there are 80,000 troops left, 20,000 troops on each wall, just right, how can there be extra troops to send out!

Although Yang Yun knew that if the Acropolis was lost, Li Yao's army would directly surround Yidu, but there was no way to do it, Li Yao's 40,000 army could drive away hundreds of thousands of troops of the Liang Dynasty, and what could he do to fight them, since he couldn't fight in the field outside, then stick to the city, needless to say, Yidu's defense needless to say, and the food was also sufficient, and the population was also large, Yang Yun knew that Li Yao's foundation was weak, although he seemed to be strong, but he couldn't afford to drag it out, as long as he spent a year and a half with him, he would have no stamina, When the time comes, there is definitely hope of winning on the counterattack!

The soldiers sent to report the news calculated that it was almost time to return, and the city lord would not dare to withdraw from the city casually without Yang Yun's order, after all, if he fled without a fight, he would be beheaded!

At this time, the soldier who delivered the letter ran over panting, and said, "Report to the general, the head of Yangyun ordered you to defend the city to the death, and you are not allowed to retreat without an order!" ”

After hearing the words of the messenger, the guard said angrily: "Yangyun, this eunuch, usually so much filial piety is given in vain!" ”

The adjutant general also looked like ashes at this time, and said: "General, we have been given up by Yang Yun, what should we do, I don't want to be killed by this kind of firearm, I heard others say that people who are killed by firearms have no soul, and they can't even be reincarnated!" ”

The general said fiercely: "You go and arrest all the prison troops sent by Yangyun, let's surrender the city, I don't want to be killed by firearms, I still plan to have a good baby in my next life!" ”

Because of the prevalence of religion in this era, basically dealing with ominous people are burned to death with fire, so gradually there is a kind of remark in the army that people who are killed by firearms cannot be reincarnated, and this remark is still very widespread, and the soldiers still believe it, and there is another point that most of the people who were injured by firearms were infected to death in the end, the dead were very tormented, and the death was very terrifying.

After a while, the two eunuchs sent by Yangyun were tied up by the deputy general, and the eunuch saw the main general guarding the city and shouted: "What are you going to do, are you going to rebel?" ”

The main general looked at the two eunuchs and said, "I don't want to rebel either, but Yangyun won't give me a way to live, can my small acropolis withstand Li Yao's army with firearms?" They are an army that even the army of the Liang Dynasty can fight, Yang Yun will obey orders whenever I ask me to help defend the city, but let me stick to this small acropolis, and there is no backup, there is no heavy weapons on the acropolis, I can't hold on, I don't want the soldiers to die with me, we don't want to die, then you go and die first! ”

After speaking, the lord took out his sword and cut off the heads of the two eunuchs, and then said to the heralds: "Open the city gate, send the heads out, and say that we are willing to surrender!" ”

The herald immediately ran out of the city gate with two human heads dripping with blood, and Li Yao was about to ask the guards to send signal flares, when he saw the acropolis gate open, he said: "Don't send signal flares yet, let's see the situation!" ”

Li Yao's army watched the herald run over with two bloody heads, and after the herald ran over, he was stopped by the guards, and the herald shouted: "Our army is willing to surrender, our army is willing to surrender!" ”

Li Yao said, "Let him in!" ”

The guards searched the herald's body, but found no weapons on the herald, so they let the herald in!

The herald knelt down with two bloody human heads and said: "Our army is willing to surrender, these two heads belong to the eunuch supervising the army, and now they have been awarded!" ”

Li Yao looked at the human head's white face and no beard, nodded, and said, "These two people are indeed eunuchs, but how can I believe that your general is really willing to surrender?" (To be continued.) Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info)
