Chapter 22 Things are not people
The gate of the city slowly opened, and a rider came.
Ye Gucheng stood at the head of the army, and looked at the gradually approaching Qianying with a silent expression.
The waterfall-like hair was casually draped over the shiny armor, and under the bright starry eyes was a face that captivated the country and the city, but now this face was tormented by haggard and despair! Even so, it still did not affect the innate heroic posture.
Li Yueli never thought that seeing Ye Gucheng again would be on the battlefield, and they were hostile to each other!
She knew that it was irrational to come alone at this time, she should stand on the city wall and command the soldiers in Shangdu to stick to the last front, but she was unwilling, just like some questions, she didn't ask to understand, and she didn't blink an eye!
"Why?" Li Yueli sat on the war horse, staring condescendingly at her cold face, and the hand holding the reins became more and more tight.
Ye Gucheng was silent as always, and he didn't know if he didn't know how to answer, or if he didn't want to answer.
"You're from the Nu Clan?" This is the only reason Li Yueli has in mind.
"I am a native of Huaxia, in this world, there are no longer Nu people, there are, but just a new country, Huaxia. Ye Gucheng finally spoke, but his tone was very flat, without a trace of emotional fluctuations.
Li Yueli understood, and smiled miserably, Ye Gucheng is really a member of the Nu clan! What comes from the world at the end of the desert is all a lie! No wonder the surname is Xuanyuan! I can't tell, Xuanyuan Xiu is not the other party's ** at all! However, what does it matter? Each other is already destined to die!
"Li Yueli, surrender! Don't make any more senseless sacrifices, you can't win. "Ye Gucheng is serious, if there is one person in this world that he doesn't want to hurt, it must be Li Yueli.
"There are no troops in the west, you want to capture Shangdu, unless I die, otherwise, don't want to take half a step into Shangdu. Li Yueli's expression suddenly turned cold, and she suddenly turned her horse's head.
Ye Gucheng looked at the resolute back, his eyes gradually returned to their original coldness, and said in a loud voice: "Li Yueli, if you don't surrender, on the day the city is broken, I will slaughter everyone in the city." ”
Li Yueli's delicate body was obviously shocked, and immediately, with a bite of silver teeth, she rushed to the slightly open city gate, and soon, the city gate was closed tightly again.
Ye Gucheng's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "Order the three armies, prepare for battle, and in the afternoon, officially attack the city." ”
"Yes!" the herald hurried away.
The war-shrouded capital was completely out of control, and most of the poor families closed their doors as if they wanted to escape the catastrophe.
On the street, groups of soldiers with nervous steps quickly poured out of the direction of the city gate to take precautions.
At the exit of the city gate on the other side, there was a surge of people, and the fleeing people blocked the long street, shouting and scolding in the face of the closed city gate.
The general in charge of guarding the city gate stood on the city wall with a blank face, but from time to time whispered something to the heralds on the side, as if to prevent the rebels from breaking through.
Of course, there are some people in Shangdu who are abnormal, and Zhang Yi and the wasp were extremely happy when they learned that the commander who led the Huaxia army to attack was actually Ye Gucheng.
Especially Zhang Yi, he seems to smell the opportunity for himself to become famous! Of course, there are no absolutes, after all, Ye Gucheng is different from the past, and he is not sure whether Ye Gucheng will continue to entrust them with important tasks as he did at the beginning.
Just when the people of Shangdu were panicking, outside the Shangdu City, Ye Gucheng's army was quietly enjoying lunch.
The oppressive atmosphere made every soldier in the Western Territory tasteless, and they knew more clearly that once the war started, they would inevitably be the ones who rushed to the front as cannon fodder.
In fact, they played a crucial role in capturing several cities in a row, and suffered the most casualties.
Li Yueli stood on the city wall, silently looking at the enemy army in the distance, she had no chance of winning this war! However, she had to fight, the people in the city, the family in the house, and her father who died in the border battle, all of these were the driving forces that supported her to persevere.
"Miss, let's eat something! When the war starts, how can you kill the enemy when you are hungry?" An adjutant sent the wooden tray forward, looking worriedly at the woman who had not eaten or drunk all day.
Li Yueli slowly took the wooden plate, and put some meat on the plate, as well as a pancake. After taking two bites of the pancake, as if thinking of something, he hurriedly said, "Have you sent the flying pigeons?"
"Back to the eldest lady, the flying pigeon has already been dispatched, and it is estimated that it should reach the entire western border, in addition, the carrier pigeon that flew to Wangcheng has also been dispatched, but the far water can't solve the near fire, eldest miss, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for reinforcements to arrive. ”
Li Yueli didn't know, however, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she still didn't want to give up, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, stick to Shangdu, even if you fight to the last soldier, you will never let the barbarians step in." ”
"Yes!"
When the light of the afternoon shone on the earth, the Chinese army that had been silent for a long time finally moved!
Under the bright banner of Longteng, on the plains as far as the eye can see, the dull and neat march steps knock heavily on the hearts of every soldier defending the city.
Li Yueli stood quietly on the city wall directly above the city gate, her beautiful eyes calm, as if she had turned a deaf ear to the scene of the army pressing the border.
Ye Gucheng Imperial Dragon was suspended in mid-air, looking coldly at the soldiers setting up siege equipment, and suddenly, he noticed a sight that seemed to be there, and with a zheng, he stared at the proud shadow from afar.
I don't know why, when he noticed that there was a siege equipment facing the direction of the city gate, his heart was suddenly extremely irritable, for a long time, the dragon descended, whispered a few words to the soldiers on the side, and it didn't take long for the siege equipment to be removed.
Li Yueli had never seen these siege equipment, and naturally she didn't understand what the effect was, however, when she saw the enemy army put huge rolling stones on it, she began to realize that it was not good.
Whining!
The dull horn finally kicked off the attack.
"Ready, put!"
As the words fell, countless huge rolling stones cut an arc in the sky, and struck the archers on the city wall at a gallop.
"Not good, speed shielding. The adjutant general who supervised the battle trembled in his heart and quickly hid in the corner.
Screams began to resound on the city walls.
The soldiers who were waiting in the city seemed to be infected by the screams, and fear began to appear on their faces.
"Why are you still stunned? Speed up the city wall support. The generals saw that there were heavy casualties on the city walls, but the reserve soldiers were frightened and angry.
Coming back to their senses, more soldiers rushed to the city wall in a panic.
The rolling stones are still attacking intensively, and the tens of thousands of troops from the western realm who are at the forefront of the siege equipment cannot be idle, and as the horn of the charge sounds, they have escorted the siege vehicles and siege ladders to rush to the city gate.
The city of Shangdu was not a wartime fortress, and naturally it did not have the moats and towers that ordinary cities have, let alone strong crossbows that were specially designed to deal with siege vehicles.
It was obviously much easier to capture such a city than a city close to the border, and the siege vehicles quickly reached the direction of the city gate under the escort of soldiers.
Of course, Li Yueli would not let Ye Gucheng fall so easily, and the archers on the city wall began to fight back frantically.
Heavy casualties began to appear on the troops from the west, and this time, they slammed the city gate even more desperately, because only by breaking through this gate could they avoid the invasion of arrows.
The dull sound of the crash made the city gate sway, and the soldiers on the other end of the city desperately pressed against the gate with their bodies.
Ye Gucheng's relatives' Huaxia army watched quietly like this, except for the incessant rolling stone bombardment, the army did not make any actual offensive measures.
On the city wall, Li Yueli witnessed this scene, and gritted her teeth even more angrily, she knew that Ye Gucheng deliberately used the western border to attack the western defenders, to put it bluntly, they were all from the western border, and they had no impact on the Nu people at all.
How can a person be so hard-hearted?
Is such a person still a human being?
For Ye Gucheng, Li Yueli began to feel creepy.
"Report to the eldest lady, there is a shortage of bows and arrows. A general hurriedly reported.
Li Yueli's expression was solemn, staring at Ye Gucheng in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Boiling oil." ”
"Yes!"
Soon, oil drums were carried up the walls, and hot oil poured out along the siege ladders.
This was a real disaster for the soldiers who climbed up, and they all screamed and fell off the corner.
And the soldiers who were slamming into the city gate were even worse, the dense crowd didn't need to aim at all, barrels of boiling oil poured down, scalding to death and scalding a **.
Ye Gucheng looked at the battlefield where the corpses were piled up, and his plain eyes gradually showed a trace of fluctuation, and in an instant, he returned to his original calm, but his expression was colder.
Finally, after a long battle, soldiers began to attack the city wall, and the hand-to-hand combat on the city wall officially began.
The Rolling Stone attack also stopped with this scene, and the rest is basically no suspense!
The city gates, after countless pounds, finally collapsed.
"Kill!"
The troops from the western border, who were crowded outside the city gate, appeared with the gap, and rushed inward in a continuous manner.
The die is cast!
Ye Gucheng waved his hand.
Under the loud horn, the Chinese army was fully armed.
Shangdu, square.
Thousands of captives squatted together with earth-colored faces, and Li Yueli was also in it, but she looked extremely embarrassed, covered in blood and pressed to the ground, even so, she still desperately wanted to break free.
The golden dragon lay quietly on the side, two copper bell-like eyes staring at the crowd of people in front of him with contempt, and immediately, the dragon's eyes suddenly narrowed, full of enjoyment and felt the ** on the head.
Ye Gucheng was very satisfied with the current effect, at least, he saw deep fear in the eyes of the city's citizens.
"My name is Ye Gucheng, the commander of Huaxia Kingdom, and also your commander, the Western Realm, and I will be removed from now on. ”
The audience seemed to be in an uproar with these words, and they all glared angrily at the person standing proudly in a robe.
"Fart, you barbarians, don't try to rule us, the West is a country of etiquette, and will never accept barbarians. ”
Soon, the soldiers arrested the old man who spoke in the crowd.
The old man Ye Gucheng also knew that he was a teacher in Shangdu Academy and Li Jun's teacher, and he was quite prestigious among the elegant scholars.
