Chapter 272: Quiet
This was the third wave of siege after nightfall.
Unlike the previous two waves, this was a more comprehensive, ferocious, and massive siege.
It can be said that the choice to attack the city so recklessly and with great fanfare at this time was not out of Kong Zhongyi's original intention, and the matter has now far exceeded his initial estimate, the city has not shown any signs of being breached after two waves of raids, and the people in the city have no sign of abandoning the city and fleeing at this time. This qiē phenomenon seems to indicate that the other party is going to "fight" with himself to the end.
And Kong Zhongyi is so anxious at this time, there is another reason that cannot be ignored: the spies have just reported that Song Changgong's army has appeared on the border of Queensland - and this news was two hours ago! If the speed of the rapid march is followed, I am afraid that there will be less than three hours, and when it is close to noon, this city will truly become a murderous Shura field!
"The city must be taken within an hour! Live poultry flute, flute! Originally, he still wanted to say "at any cost", but when he saw that there were less than sixty percent of his original soldiers and horses, his heart was still soft, and he swallowed it alive.
Fortunately, according to his own estimates, there may not be too many people in the city at this moment, Kong Zhongyi believes that as long as this wave of people on the city is eliminated, this capital city will eventually be in his pocket. And after capturing the city, then he can take the soldiers to rest and recuperate, and then take a boat from the city and go straight to the coast along the warship that was originally used in the city to train sailors.
Then why don't you go directly to the port at this time to find a ship and lead the army north along the near shore? I have to say that it is the really reliable way, as long as you find enough ships and leave a team of men and horses to block it a little, you can win time for the army to retreat, he Song Changgong is here, and it is just a tail, and Yu Kong Zhongyi does not have much loss - of course, the biggest loss has appeared in the internal friction with the two boys of the Di family.
However, this is just a little whimsical of being an outsider. This is going to talk about the layout of the Shu State on the sailor, according to the arrangement of the Shu Emperor on the sailor, the warship is transferred from the imperial city during the sailor drill on weekdays, and when the drill is completed, the sailor and the warship return to the city. Throughout history, such an arrangement for the sailor is unique, and there is no semicolon! At the same time, there are many small boats in the fishing farms and ports along the coast, but they are all small boats that can only accommodate a few people, and they are not much different from the fishing boats used in the inland area, so it is said that those who are engaged in fishing are only active within a few miles of the coastal sea. And these seemingly strange regulations all start from one point: to avoid the subjects of Shu from fleeing to other places!
Because of this, Kong Zhongyi gave the order to break through the city, because he knew too well that the warship used by the only sailor in the Great Shu Kingdom was somewhere in this city! Only by breaking the city can it be possible to get more chances of survival - and the premise of this must be that the two brothers of the Di family in the city at this time have not yet had the idea of fighting these ships!
Time, we must hurry!
Thinking of this, he summoned several lieutenant generals again with a wave of his hand, and ordered: "You each lead a group of men and horses to break through the rest of the gates, whichever door is broken first will be entered by which gate, no matter what origin and grade the first person to break the door is, the soldiers will be promoted to three levels, and you will be promoted to one level, and the award will be five hundred gold!" ”
When everyone heard this, their faces were full of joy, and they all took the order. Kong Zhongyi looked at everyone, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: These gates can be completed in just a breath, but I don't know what kind of scene is in the city after breaking through the city!
Flute looked at the unconscious flute silently at this time, his brows furrowed and he didn't know what he was thinking. Mr. Xu, who was beside him, wiped the hot sweat on his forehead at this time, and cautiously stepped forward and whispered: "The general has already slept first, but this arm is afraid to be ......."
Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, and according to the ideal progress, the next flute should be to nod understandingly, and say something like "You have worked hard". However, the flute didn't seem to understand, but asked in a daze, "I'm afraid what's wrong?" ”
"This ......" glanced back at the flute that was in a coma with a little worry, and he saw that the flute did not change his mind because of this, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "The power of this arrow is really strong, although you shot in time to avoid the general...... However, the destructive power of this force completely spread along the wound, and the bones were almost shattered, and now they were only connected by a little flesh and skin......"
"Oh!" The flute answered, but it didn't seem to mean to continue.
"This ...... Please give me an idea! Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Mr. Xu was ruthless and reminded.
"Take the idea...... What's the idea? Speaking of this, the flute finally came back to his senses, glared at Mr. Xu and asked. This stare only made Mr. Xu's originally worried heart even more uneasy.
"This arm must be cut off, otherwise it will ......" Although he knew that for a soldier, losing an arm would be like a waste, but he, Mr. Xu, was a doctor at this time, and he was not thinking about any battlefield conquest, what he saw was that a person's life was being threatened at this time, nothing more. It is precisely because of this that he knows that the flute is not good, and he knows that he will never let himself go when he wakes up, and he still says it truthfully.
"Cut!" After being silent for a long time, the flute said coldly, even after saying this word, his whole body was also as if he had lost his strength, and he couldn't lift any strength at once.
"How long will it take?" After settling down, he asked Mr. Xu, who had already begun to prepare for the operation.
"About half an hour." After thinking about it, Mr. Xu said softly.
"Half!" After saying that, he went out, as if he didn't smell the blood in the house, and he didn't feel better when he didn't see his eldest brother's arm being cut off.
Half the time...... Mr. Xu smiled bitterly: It seems that it is really right to say more time, after this operation is done, he will try his best to think about how to escape.
"Report!" Flute was thinking about letting himself be quiet first, and then considering when it was appropriate to withdraw, but he heard a soldier running towards him from a distance through the main entrance, and in less than a few breaths he had already knelt down in front of him, and although he no longer ran, his voice still couldn't stop gasping.
"Speak." His brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a flute voice.
"The rest of the gates are being impacted, it is expected that within the time of the two pillars of incense, the Hongdao Gate, the Earth Gate, and the Xuanmen will be breached, please arrange it as soon as possible!"
What this soldier said made the flute want to laugh, thinking that as a soldier, he would never dare to say such a thing, and the only people who dared to say this were those generals who were fighting at the door at the moment, "arrange it as soon as possible"? What is arranged? Naturally, it was arranged to flee quickly!
"Who are the guards in these three gates?" The flute warmed his heart and asked the soldier.
"Report to the city lord, Hongdaomen is General Hu Huang at this time, Dimen is General Di Wai, General Hu Xiu of Xuanmen has been killed, and it is Chen Zhonglie who is guarding the gate at this moment......"
Hu Huang? It seems that this name has been heard, and it seems that he was just promoted to general because of the large number of slaughtered people after he attacked the city, right? Di is crying, the young general who laughs all day long, it seems that he is the younger generation who is more optimistic in the clan, and he came out this time to save military merits...... As for Hu Xiu and Chen Zhonglie, I haven't heard much about it, they should be people in the eldest brother's army! These people, are they going to reverse at this moment, and they have all begun to instruct themselves how to do things......
With a light smile, he said to the soldier: "You go and sue a few of them, I have received the words, and I understand what they mean, please rest assured!" After speaking, he paused again, and said solemnly: "You must convey these words to their ears one by one before the city is broken!" ”
"Yes!" When the man heard this, he immediately got up and flew away, as if he wanted to run out of the door.
"I just hope it's in time!" The flute muttered to itself.
Hua Hate Liu stayed in the empty camp tent at this time, and had been frowning and thinking for a long time, but in the end he didn't understand what kind of chess Song Changgong was playing. Seeing that the east lit up little by little, the slight leakage of light illuminated the undulating lines of the horizon, as if the red pen was gently outlined, dazzling red, and weirdly red.
You should also go and see how the flute sounds, right? He thought in his heart, after all, he still has a Mr. Xu who is still in the hands of others at this time, no matter what, it is always normal for old friends to send them away, and it is also appropriate to send something to each other.
It's just that I haven't thought about what to send yet......
Almost without difficulty, he entered the city, and found the man he was looking for almost without difficulty.
When he saw Hua Hate Liu chuckling and standing in front of him, as if he was relieved, he actually smiled at Hua Hate Liu.
"This ...... What's so funny? Hua hated Liu didn't understand, if the other party looked at him with a bitter and hateful look, it would be better to say something, but the other party looked at him and smiled at this time, which couldn't help but make him feel a little sorry in his heart.
"When you're standing, you feel the same as a normal person." Flute shook his head.
"This is ......" was about to ask, but in the next moment, Hua Hate Liu understood why the other party said so. When he sits, whether it is his appearance or the sense of threat, it is far less difficult to confuse people than his sound self at this time, and the flute said this, it is because he was in a wheelchair that he felt less threatening, and he will relax his vigilance!
"You're here, I'm leaving." Seeing that the flowers hated the willows, the flute said again.
"Yes." Hua Hate Liu nodded.
"You...... Nothing else you'd like to say? Seeing that Hua hated Liu nodded and had nothing else to say, the flute couldn't help but be curious.
"It's gone." Hua Hate Liu shook his head.
"Hmm." The flute nodded, went into the door, and after a while he went out with the flute on his back, and went out without looking back.
Just now, when he entered the house, he found that there was no one else in the house at this moment, except for the unconscious flute.
