Chapter Seventy-Five: Gain Both People and Money

Just after the sound of the four watches, the silent Fuyuan fortress boiled, countless soldiers from the city wall, the hidden soldier hole rushed out, busy like ants, nailed barbed wood was tied to the rope, pressed on the wheel frame, during the battle, these close to the city wall of the wood was put down, sweeping the enemy soldiers attached to the ladder, after using it can also be picked up and reused, this is to pick up the wood. More eight-ox crossbows were brought out, bowstrings were twisted, crossbow arrows were installed, and strong crossbows as thick as children's arms took away a string of lives with each fire. Piles of stones were piled under the stacks, each weighing about dozens of catties, and if they fell from the nearly 20-meter city wall, they would break their tendons and fracture when they hit it.

Behind the wall, a burst of stench came, it was the soldiers boiling the oil, and the collected human and animal manure was added to the boiling oil, these added oil contains toxins, once poured on the people, in addition to the skin and flesh are burned, these toxins invade, it is not easy to treat, generally speaking, these people will die in pain.

Bundles of arrows were moved and piled on the city wall, and dozens of trebuchets in the city were ready to go, because they had been prepared for this war in advance, and all the corresponding stone bullets were extremely well prepared, but the large trebuchets were very difficult to make, and they were easy to damage, so even if the craftsman battalion was full of strength and recruited a lot of volunteers, it was still only able to repair the trebuchets damaged a few days ago, and they were not able to make new ones.

The positions under the city have all been lost, and Li Qing withdrew all of Feng Guo's troops to the city at night, and after a day of fierce fighting, the loss of Feng Guo's right wing was greater than that of Wang Qinian's left wing, although it caused huge casualties to the enemy, but his entire wing had been reduced to only 800 people.

For one night, Li Qing still organized his personnel to cover the ground under the city with dense rejection horses and iron thorns, effectively killing and injuring the opponent's personnel, which was his main goal.

Let Wanyan Bulu bleed, bleed again, and then let him mobilize reinforcements again in a fit of rage, so that Shanglin would become an empty camp, and give Lu Dalin a chance to kill with one blow.

"Send an order to the reserve army hidden in the military gate fortress, move to the Fuyuan fortress, and be ready to enter the battle at any time." Li Qingdao. There were 5,000 reserve troops hidden in the military gate, and these people were certainly not good in the field, but they were more than enough to defend the city. The existence of these people is the reason why Li Qing has sufficient confidence to defend the fortress of Fuyuan, Wanyan Bulu thought that he only had three or four thousand people, but he had more than 10,000 troops, and there were as many as 5,000 troops with strong combat effectiveness. In the three-day battle, he lost 2,000 people, of which 1,500 were killed, but Wanyan Bulu lost more than 10,000 people, and the battle loss of 1 to 5 must have made the old boy feel very distressed.

Next is the more tragic battle to the city, Li Qing has no doubt that he can hold the city, but in order to lure Wan Yan Bulu to transfer more troops here and hurt his brain, not only to ensure the safety of the city, but also to make Wan Yan Bulu always feel that he can take Fuyuan with a little more strength, which is really difficult to grasp.

"General!" Shang Haibo walked to Li Qing's side and stood side by side with him, looking at the big camp in the distance.

glanced at Shang Haibo, and behind him, there was still a man about thirty years old with a somewhat depressed face, but still quite magnanimous, this must be Fang Jiahao, the eldest son of the Fang family. Li Qing couldn't help laughing, Shang Haibo was still so sharp in his work, he went straight to the point, took the key point, recruited blood, brought Fang Jiahao, and was not afraid that Fang Wenhai would fly into the sky.

"Fang Gongzi, now Fuyuan is facing a vicious battle, can you hold Fuyuan, protect me Fuyuan hundreds of thousands of people, they will all fight here, on this occasion of danger, Fang Gongzi can come to the fortress in person to help defend the city, well, it is really great courage, great benevolence!" Li Qingpi said with a smile.

Fang Jiahao was furious in his heart, did Lao Tzu come by himself? It was you who sent someone to arrest me, looking at this young general who was nearly ten years younger than himself, his momentum suddenly fell for no reason, and the other party's seemingly very kind face did not know what kind of scheming of the city government was hidden, young age, holding heavy troops, commanding Fang Xuan, slashing the barbarians in front of the battle with a wave of his hand, and coldly watching more than 10,000 living beings die in front of him without changing color, change yourself, do you have this bearing and heart? The Li family of the Li family, this first-class wealthy family in Dachu is really talented, and a concubine has such ability, so what about the descendants they have cultivated?

"General, Mr. Shang!" Yang Yidao walked over, "Just now, Mr. Yalu from the county came with the news, the Fang family has sent four hundred miners, and their housekeeper wants to see the general and their son-in-law." ”

Li Qing smiled, sure enough, Fang Wenhai was still honest and obedient, "Well, the Fang family is good, after this battle, I will be a prize, bring the four hundred miners, and arrange it by Feng Guo, by the way, that housekeeper wants to see me, bring it!" ”

"I've seen General Lee!" Fang Zhong bent down deeply and saluted Li Qing, "In accordance with the general's order, our family has brought all the four hundred mine guards to the west, and the required weapons have been equipped by ourselves. ”

As he spoke, Li Qing had already seen that the four hundred people had already gone to the city wall, Feng Guozheng accepted it with a smile and distributed, one by one, Guo Changmei smiled and separated the four hundred people and brought them to the position where they were stationed, they fought fiercely yesterday and suffered serious losses, and now they have four hundred well-equipped and well-trained veterans to supplement the team, and they are all overjoyed, this is much stronger than a group of rookies, and a group of rookies, maybe they haven't figured out the state yet, and they will die, It takes a rookie to grow up and become an old veteran, and you don't see half of the ten recruits.

Fang Jiahao's heart was dripping blood, this is the elite who has been carefully cultivated in his family for many years, he was dragged to the front line by this guy like this, and after a battle, I don't know how many will survive.

"Is the Fang family master's illness better?" Li Qing asked casually while looking at the deployment of the soldiers in the city.

"Thanks to the general's concern, I'm much better and can get out of bed." Fang Zhong said with a smile.

"Oh, that's good, that's good. After this battle, I will visit the Fang family master and express my gratitude to him for sending people to help. Li Qing turned his head and looked at Fang Zhong.

Fang Zhong's face twitched, he was really spitting, and he had to watch the person wipe it away, but he could only laugh and say: "Thank you General, it's just that the general, my lord is sick, and there can't be no one to preside over at home, and I ask the general to let my son-in-law go back." ”

Li Qing glanced at Fang Zhong in surprise and said, "Young Master Fang goes back, how can this be done?" There are 400 people in the Fang family here, how can someone be in charge here, Fang Gongzi is the right person, since the Fang family master can get up, it must be very good, Fang Gong promised to delay here for a few days, it should be nothing, rest assured, after the battle is over in a few days, I will personally send Gongzi back. ”

Fang Zhong couldn't wait to slap his mouth, saying that the master of the family is already good, he can get up, how to leave Gongzi on this dangerous battlefield, the sword is ruthless, if Gongzi has three longs and two shorts, it will collapse the sky, and no matter how you look at this General Li, he has bad intentions, then he can't leave Gongzi here. I couldn't help but admire the foresight of the head of the family, and sure enough, fortunately, I had made preparations.

Fang Zhong took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and handed it to Li Qing respectfully, "General, the head of the family said that soon after the general set up camp, he would come to Fuyuan to fight against the enemy, presumably the military budget is very tight, this is a little bit of the head of the family, please accept it." ”

Sending silver? Li Qing was overjoyed, he was really short of money! took the silver ticket, and at a glance, I couldn't help but be surprised, this Fang family is really generous, a gift is 100,000 taels of silver, it seems that the Fang family is really rich, in order to buy back the life of their son-in-law, but they are really willing to pay the capital. I think that the Li knife only gave himself 100,000 taels of silver.

He took the silver ticket with a smile, "Okay, good, good, yes, the head of the Fang family is indeed seriously ill, and it is indeed a little unreasonable for me to leave the eldest prince here, ah, let's let Fang Gongzi go back to fulfill his filial piety, how about Mr. Shang?" ”

Shang Haibo nodded slightly, "What the general said is very reasonable, and filial piety comes first." ”

Fang Zhong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the son was able to get it back, but the four hundred miners were only afraid that they would be beaten by meat buns, and there would be no return. But as long as Childe is safe, these miners can be equipped again at any time.

A continuous drum sounded in the company camp opposite, and Li Qing said: "The enemy is about to attack, Steward Fang and Gongzi Fang will go back, the soldiers here are fierce and dangerous, but you can't hurt the eldest prince's golden body, so please do it!" ”

Seeing the two of them leaving, the smile on Li Qing's face slowly retracted, for the sake of 100,000 taels of silver and 400 soldiers, but let you live a few more days, and there is no hurry to clean you up. Now Lao Tzu is busy playing Yan Bulu!
