The morning light that appeared slightly in the east, and the shouting of Liucheng after a night of fierce fighting subsided slightly.
The whole of Liucheng fell into a brief lull after the Great War. The siege and defending soldiers were crouching behind their bunkers, swallowing their saliva and moistening their throats, which were almost smoking. Ke Mulun's eyes were burning like fire at the moment. Under a wall in the city, there was a corpse that had died under his own knife, panting violently. The whole person was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to move a finger, and all Ke Mulun could do now was to try to keep his eyes open and not let himself sleep.
The soldiers of the two armies fought for a day and a night, and even Li Chongjiu's thousands of troops besieging the city were already exhausted, not to mention the seven hundred soldiers in the city, who had been fighting for a day and a night, they were already exhausted. Ke Mulun fought a bloody battle all night last night, and finally firmly guarded the gap dug by Qi Ashu from the hands of the defenders.
The number of openings has now increased to three, and two have been opened, allowing three people to enter and exit at a time. However, the defenders erected a wall here as a second wall, and ambushed the archers with the help of several nearby houses as cover. Last night, dozens of brothers fell, but they still did not break through the enemy's linen wall, and the footsteps around him sounded, because it sounded from the hole in the city wall, and Kemulan did not even have the strength to look at it. Immediately, it was dark in front of him, and a man who looked like a general wearing two-gear armor and holding a horizontal sword stood in front of him. The general glanced back at himself and said a few words. The other party was in Chinese, and Ke Mulun didn't hear clearly, but there were more and more elite soldiers of the Han army wearing iron armor and holding iron shields and horizontal knives around him.
These soldiers were full of energy, and many of them waved the knives in their hands and reorganized their armor, obviously a new force. Immediately, these Han soldiers shouted in unison, and then rushed towards the Xingnu wall. Ke Mulun looked at the soldier who was constantly climbing the female wall, and suddenly let go of his thoughts, and closed his eyes again.
It was past noon, and the fierce battle was still going on, although the advantage of their own side in the northeast corner of Liucheng was expanding little by little, and they had already captured a square. However, the last reserve army of Li Chongjiu's company was also blocked by the defenders, and all the forces at hand were mobilized, which can be described as going all out.
Li Chongjiu couldn't help but shake his head, sure enough, he was attacking the city, putting in all his troops, and facing less than one-tenth of his own defenders, he still fell into a bitter battle. But Li Chongjiu was secretly glad that he had transferred more than half of the defenders in the city with the strategy of dividing the troops, otherwise with the 15,000 troops in his hands, it would be necessary to draw a big question mark over whether he could capture Liucheng.
Just to the north of the city, the gate suddenly opened, and hundreds of cavalry left from the hasty gate. Watching them ride their horses out of Liucheng and plunge into the woods north of the city without looking back, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but smile slightly. Immediately, in the direction of the Taishou Mansion in the city, a black smoke ignited.
"Give an order to King Mahan, and say that the city general has fled, and order him to immediately send troops to ambush him!" Li Chongjiu said: "Another order is given, the city has been broken, and it will be entered from the four gates immediately!" There are also those who surrender will not be killed, those who harass the people, and those who trespass on people's houses will be killed! ”
In the evening, Liucheng was too guarded, and after being put out, the fire had stopped. In the north, south, and west of the city, there are still remnants of the enemy army resisting stubbornly.
Li Chongjiu entered the city from the east of the city, and the soldiers on both sides guarded the streets with guns, clearing the enemy of the air. After Li Chongjiu came to the granary, an enemy general and a dozen soldiers knelt outside the granary, guarded by their own soldiers. When the enemy general saw Li Chongjiu, he said: "Tell the Khan, when the Taishou left, the general ordered the general to burn the granary, but he did not listen to the order, and now the granary is completely handed over to the Taishou." ”
"Very well, you have made a difference." Li Chongjiu nodded, and with the granary, the problem of military rations for his army would be solved. Liucheng was the fulcrum of the million-dollar army of Liao, although the grain and grass were not as good as Huaiyuan Town, and Tongding Town was more, but it was enough for 10,000 troops to eat for a year.
Li Chongjiu returned to the Taishou Mansion, and at this time, Wen Yanbo took a person in tattered clothes and stepped forward to say to Li Chongjiu: "Envoy, after taking the city, I will enter the dungeon in the city and rescue Brother Lin Fu!" ”
After the other party saw Li Chongjiu, although his clothes were tattered and his hands and feet were sores, he still had a whole beard of hair. Li Chongjiu also knew that Wen Yanbo's brother Lin Fu, this person's name was Yang Linfu, who was originally the Taishou of Liucheng, and then Luo Yi rebelled, because he refused to surrender Luo Yi, so he has been imprisoned in the county jail.
Li Chongjiu nodded and said: "The foot is a loyal minister, and I have worked hard, I don't know what I plan to do in the future?" ”
Yang Linfu raised his head slightly, looked at Li Chongjiu, and sighed: "The world is in turmoil, and the heroes are rising together, and it seems that the Sui family will not be able to defend the country." The old decay is already a hundred deaths, and he is willing to serve the Taishou and dedicate his modest efforts. ”
Li Chongjiu nodded happily and said: "It's so hard, then I'll order my feet to still guard Liucheng, how about guarding this city for me?" ”
Yang Linfu said at the moment: "Thank you for your trust, the old man still has some popularity in Liucheng, so he will come forward for Taishou to recruit all the troops and calm the people." ”
With Yang Linfu coming forward, all the Sui troops who were still resisting in the city surrendered. At the same time, the residents in the city, seeing Yang Linfu come forward, were worried about the bad luck of being washed after the city was broken, but now they are all relieved, and the chief and the chief of the security department spontaneously went out to cooperate with the defenders to maintain order, arrest the hidden guards of the city, and help fight the fire to avoid the disaster caused by the chaotic army. In this way, by nightfall, the order of the entire Liucheng had been completely settled and had not been greatly damaged.
In the middle of the night, Wang Mahan led a thousand soldiers of the Commando Cavalry Regiment to ambush Deng Wei successfully, and none of the 100 cavalry of the defenders below Deng Wei were caught. Deng Wei was tied up and escorted to Li Chongjiu by Wuhuada, and Li Chongjiu asked, "Is Mrs. Deng willing to surrender?" ”
Deng Wei glared at Li Chongjiu angrily, and said: "If you don't descend, don't descend, you can do it in vain, you can live as a master, Lao Tzu was born as a general, how can I descend to you." Listening to Deng Wei's words, all the generals were furious, and the market disciples were contemptuous of businessmen. Li Hu is also a businessman, and it is not an exaggeration to call Li Chongjiu like this.
All the generals persuaded him to kill him, Li Chongjiu shook his head, and said: "It's just a matter of being scolded, it's useless to kill him." ”
However, Li Chongjiu was not ready to accept this person, and said at the moment: "I kidnapped Deng Taishou Wuhuanda and went to the Wubao fort outside the city to persuade the defenders to surrender. ”
"No."
stepped forward left and right at the moment, picked up the rag and blocked Deng Wei's big mouth, looking at the other party's struggling left and right, all the generals laughed. Under the presence of Deng Wei and Yang Linfu, the Sui army besieged by the Ding Ling clan surrendered one after another. Li Chongjiu decided to break up all these thousands of people and organize them into the 3,000 county soldiers. At the same time, there was news from the south that Luo Yi of Beiping County led 3,000 troops to Lu Long to rescue Liucheng, and after half of the journey, after hearing the news that Liucheng had been captured, he had returned to Lulong.
Li Chongjiu made a post-war recount. The battle of Liucheng was quite tragic, and even under the absolute superiority, the siege still suffered more than 700 casualties. Li Chongjiu decided that all the dead soldiers would be collected and transported back to their hometowns for burial. As for the wounded soldiers, they are also good at taking care of their lives, and those who are not disabled will be promoted to the next level.
The next day, Wen Yanbo and Yang Linfu came together to see Li Chongjiu. Wen Yanbo arched his hand and said: "Taishou, Liaoxi County has been obtained, the connection between Liaodong County and Luo Yi's Beiping County has been severed, Liaodong County must be panicked now, and Taishou can go down." ”
Li Chongjiu immediately bowed his head and said with a smile: "Attacking one city and pulling out two counties, thanks to Wen Sima's planning, I will lead the army north." ”
Yang Linfu said: "Taishou doesn't need to use swords, Tongding Town, Huaiyuan Town will all have an old relationship with me, I am willing to write a letter for Taishou, let them surrender to the city!" ”
Li Chongjiu said: "Those who come to the top without blood, there is Lao Yang who guards too much." ”
Yang Linfu said: "If the people of Liaodong can no longer suffer from military disasters, my contribution is nothing." ”
Smelling a smell of mutton soup like Eminem's boiled at the tip of his nose, Ke Mulun slowly opened his eyes, only to see that he was under a tent. There was a bowl of mutton soup on his side, Ke Mulun shook his head, yesterday's bloody wind and rain, the fierce battle under the city wall, seemed to be still in sight, but now the surroundings were extremely calm, and there was only a bowl of delicious mutton soup in front of him.
Ke Mulun has never been a person who thinks too much, but when he got up, the wounds all over his body ached, and he immediately picked up the mutton soup in front of him. The soup is already cold, but the mutton is also fresh and fatty. Ke Mulun put more than a dozen pieces of mutton in his mouth and chewed them together, and his mouth was full of oil.
A corner of the tent was picked open, and his good brother Qi Ashu walked in. Seeing that Qi Ashu was holding a bowl of wine in his hand, the gluttonous worms in Ke Mulun's stomach were hooked up and snatched straight into the other party's hand.
Qi Ashu put his hand away, laughed, and said: "The shaman said that if you still want to eat, it means that your injuries are healed, but this wine is not for drinking, but I begged to wash your wounds." ”
Ke Mulun said: "Wash any wound, drink wine, and I will be healed of any wound." ”
After that, Ke Mulun snatched the wine from the beggar and poured it down. Qi Ashu had no choice but to take Ke Mulun, and said: "This time after the war, you personally ordered the third merit for the Khan to break the city, so you were promoted to the leader of the team, and you were rewarded with ten sheep, one ox, and five horses of cloth. ”
Ke Mulun's eyes widened when he heard this, full of disbelief, and he said, "Is this true? You swear by immortality that this qiē is true. ”
Qi Ashu said angrily: "Whoever is still coming to lie to you, I will know when the time comes." By the way, your beloved girl is still ready to ask her for marriage, the dowry is enough, I'm afraid that if you are one step late, the girl will be someone else's. ”
Ke Mulun suddenly felt like a person floating in the clouds, and he couldn't distinguish between east and west, north and south for a while, and the girl's figure became clearer and clearer in front of him.
Just when Ke Mulun was immersed in fantasy, Liaodong County suffered a great change.
