Youzhou.

The city has been planted with a black-faced and gold-edged dragon flag symbolizing the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. A slender figure stood at the head of the city, looking up from afar. Not far behind him is a team of Da Zhou sergeants standing neatly, looking at the military uniform, which is different from ordinary military uniforms, those who are familiar with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will know that those sergeants are the guards of His Royal Highness the Prince.

Wu Chuan looked at the barren farmland outside Youzhou City, as well as those dilapidated villages, his heart was very heavy, the ancient city of thousands of years of prosperity, although it was destroyed by several wars, but still standing, to this day, when once again suffered by foreign devastation, Wu Shan still can't help the anger in his heart.

Click!

I saw that a corner of the women's wall collapsed, splashing a cloud of smoke and dust, Wu Chu didn't move, rubbed his hands for a moment, and said to himself: "If you can't let the north be stable, I swear not to be a man!" ”

"Your Highness, Zhang Jiujie asks to see you." The guard bowed.

Wu Shu paused and said, "Let him come up." ”

But in a moment, a heavy footstep came, and a man puffed, knelt on the ground, and said, "Your Highness, the sin general Zhang Jiujie will knock to His Highness!" ”

With that, he knocked his head three times.

Wu Chuan sighed in his heart, Zhang Jiujie is also a person who knows the soldiers, but he still has the temper of a former veteran, which makes Wu Chuan very dissatisfied. He said slowly: "Okay, guilty or not, you know it in your own heart, don't kowtow or something, this king can't afford it." Now, I will lower you to the Zhonglang general, this king hopes that the generals will take it as a warning, and you don't have to be discouraged, this battle against the Khitan, there is a merit, it depends on whether you can catch it or not. ”

Zhang Jiujie's face was solemn. He said loudly: "The humble position must fight bravely to kill the enemy, and live and die for His Highness!" ”

Wu Chu waved his hand and said, "Okay." Born and dead, this king does not have extravagant hopes, this king only hopes that you and other generals can understand that generals should focus more on military strategy, rather than the so-called little profits, if you understand. Go to the front army of Xue Ne to report, if you don't understand, stay in the rear army first. Escort grain and grass to our army. Alright, step aside! ”

Zhang Jiujie got up and bowed and said, "Thank Your Highness for your teachings, retire from your humble position!" ”

Wu Shu continued to look at the vast land outside Youzhou City, suddenly. He felt like he had a sense of mission. If this war can pacify the Khitans, there will be no turmoil in the north for at least ten years, and he only needs these ten years, give him ten years of hard work, he can completely conquer Tubo, and exterminate the Hui who have secretly grown, if there are another ten years, then he can include the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms, Xindu and other countries into the territory of the Great Zhou. At that point, he will only need to erect a monument to remember it. Passed down to future generations.

A few days later, Wu Chu took Xue Nebu as the front army, took the lead in marching to Jizhou, he still sat in the Chinese army, and took the veteran Sha Zha Zhongyi and Su Honghui each led 10,000 as the left and right two armies, as the flank of the Chinese army.

In less than two days, after symbolically resisting, the Khitans in Jizhou withdrew to Pingzhou, and Wu Zhi ordered the troops to rest for half a day, and continued to advance eastward in the early morning of the next day, slowly pressing towards Pingzhou.

Out of Jizhou, there are several roads to Pingzhou, but there is only one official road. Wu Zong then ordered Xue Ne to lead the army to Yanshan, enter Luanshui, and attack the Khitan outer defense line in Pingzhou. Wu Chu directly attacked the Pingzhou Governor's Office, Lu Longcheng!

However, in the past two days, Wu Shu led the army to slowly advance to the foot of Lulong City, he sat on the flame horse, looked up at the ruined city walls of Lulong City, and couldn't help laughing a few times, and then said to the generals: "The Khitans are just barbarians, who only know how to herd cattle and sheep, and don't understand the magic of farming and building cities in the Central Plains. ”

The generals on the side immediately echoed: "What His Highness said is very true, I think that Lulong City was originally a city with thick walls, but since it was broken by the Khitans, it has collapsed everywhere, and the Khitans have not repaired it, and now it is cheaper for our army!" ”

Wu Chu nodded slowly, and suddenly said sharply: "Generals, who dares me to take the lead in attacking the city?" The first person to go to the head of the city will be promoted to one level and rewarded with one hundred taels of silver! ”

One of them immediately bowed down and said, "Your Highness, Shen Wei is willing to go and take this city for Your Highness!" ”

Wu Chu immediately saw it, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you are from the Martial Academy, don't fall into the name of my Great Zhou Martial Academy!" This king will take this city within one hour with 2,000 archers and 3,000 sword and shield soldiers! ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Immediately, Shen Wei bowed down, and then got the order arrow, and ordered the troops to attack the city.

When the drums of war were beating slowly, the simple ladder slowly walked towards Lulong City under the cover of sword and shield soldiers, and when it was two hundred steps away from the city, it suddenly exerted its strength and accelerated its speed. At this time, the two thousand archers duly bent their bows and arrows, and after a sound of the trumpet, they shot at the head of the city. The improved bow and arrow of the Great Zhou Dynasty made its range more than 20 steps farther than the bow and arrow of the Khitans, so that after a round of arrow rain, the Khitan people at the head of the city were suppressed by bows and arrows, and suffered heavy casualties.

But apparently, the Khitans were not afraid, they quickly threw bows and arrows behind the female wall, and one by one the feathered arrows shot through the gaps in the shields at the charging sword and shield soldiers, and the sword and shield soldiers began to suffer casualties. The charging Da Zhou soldiers suddenly panicked, but then quickly filled the gap under the reprimand of the fire captains of each squad.

However, in ten breaths, the cloud ladder was set up at the head of the city, and at the same time, the hot oil, boulders, and rolling logs of the Khitans were suddenly thrown down. The Great Zhou soldiers who rushed to the city first suffered heavy injuries, and the city was full of ghosts and wolves.

Wu Chu's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the Khitan people at the head of the city, and then ordered: "Assemble the catapult brought with the army for me and smash it for me!" ”

The herald took the order and departed. After a while, three catapults roared and threw boulders, and twenty or thirty catties of stones suddenly smashed on the head of the city, regardless of its accuracy, but in just a moment, they suppressed the Khitans.

At the same time, the Great Zhou soldiers began to climb the ladder without fear, and the next moment, a fire commander rushed up to the city, roared, waved his horizontal knife, and hacked two Khitans to death in the blink of an eye. Immediately afterwards, more and more Great Zhou soldiers poured into the city. Wu Shu nodded, the loss of this siege was not much, and it was estimated that there were only one or two hundred people. But Pingzhou is enough to inspire people, and those with ulterior motives will also weigh it.

Wu Chuan said with a smile: "Ziang, the generals have taken credit one by one, don't drink wine, remember wrong." Immediately, he laughed and beat his horse and headed for Lu Longcheng.

Chen Ziang has been doing the affairs of recording and joining the army since Xue Ne arrived in Weizhou, and it was not until Wu Zong came to Weizhou that he was asked to join the army. But also because Chen Ziang likes to drink and write poems, which makes Wu Chu extremely headache, if it weren't for the name of his poems, and he also has some political opinions, he would not use this person.

Of course, what Wu Shui was most moved by was his "Song of Dengyouzhou", which made him feel a lot.

Chen Ziang's face is slightly red, since he drank wine and became poetic, he always drank and wrote poems, and now he can be said to be proud of officialdom, proud of love, and famous in the poetry world, it is the time when he is full of ambition! But when His Highness said this, he was a little ashamed in his heart, but he was also very happy. It can be seen that His Royal Highness still appreciates himself, otherwise he would not have heard of his life.

"Chen joined the army, but do you want to write poems to remember it?" Yang Zhiqian's voice came from behind him, for this Yang Ji room, even if he was smiling, it gave people a feeling of yin owl. He shuddered for a moment and said, "How can there be, His Royal Highness asked Chen to remember his merits, and Chen is thinking about it!" ”

In fact, he was thinking of writing a poem to remember today's battle, but he was scared back by Yang Zhiqian, and he completely lost his poetry. (To be continued......)
