Chapter 762: The North Gate Opens and the South Gate is blocked

The knife pulled a knife flower on top of Yu Xiao's head, and then returned to Fang Jie's body. Yu Xiao, who was lying on the ground in a humiliating posture, did not dare to raise his head, Fang Xie was facing away from the sun, he was afraid that if he looked up, he would be stung by something.

"You might as well kill me"

He said

He didn't even notice it, and the smell of blood in his throat kept going up.

With a bang, a cloud of smoke exploded on the city wall, followed by a cannonball that blasted straight towards this side, this time it was very accurate, if it wasn't for Fang Jie's quick kick to kick Yu Xiao away, the cannonball would explode behind Yu Xiao's buttocks. The foreigners who thought they had succeeded cheered on the city wall, and when the smoke cleared, they found that the enemy was still standing straight, but only a few dozen meters away.

"That...... Is it human? ”

A Rus's finger trembling at Fang Jie's fingers, no matter what, he didn't believe that the enemy was not dead, he watched the cannonball explode around the two people, according to common sense, those two people should be shattered! However, the guy in the black robe was still alive and well.

"No...... It's human, right? ”

Another Rus muttered.

Fang Xie walked up to Yu Xiao again and looked down at him.

"You're trying to insult me?"

Yu Xiao asked

Fang Xie looked into his eyes: "What do you want to sneak up on me?" ”

Yu Xiao didn't answer, but his expression was even more depressed.

Fang Xie stretched out his hand to pinch Yu Xiao's veins, and carried him to the side of the city wall, the defenders on the city wall were like facing a great enemy, and they all pulled their bowstrings and were ready to release arrows at any time. But Fang Xie didn't seem to see them at all, and walked straight to the city before standing still. An archer, perhaps under too much pressure, released a feathered arrow with a whoosh, as if the plug had been unplugged from a bucket, and all the water in the bucket was poured out.

When one person releases an arrow, many people subconsciously release the bowstring.

Hundreds of feather arrows flew towards Fang Jie, but perhaps because of nervousness, the accuracy of the feather arrows was really not complimentary, only six or seven feather arrows were relatively accurate, and they were swung away one after another by Fang Xie with a Chaolu knife.

Yu Xiao's face was like ashes, as if he had been drained of all his life.

"You might as well kill me!"

This is the second time he has said this.

Fang Xie lowered his head and looked at him, and smiled in a voice that only two people could hear: "I helped you make a big show, wouldn't it be a pity to kill you?" I can't wait two years, you have no place in Fengping, I know what you are thinking from the time you asked me to meet, so I said that I want to fulfill you. Tonight, I open the encirclement of the north gate, and how many people I can take with me depends on your ability. For the sake of you doing this big show, I won't kill you, how far can you go. ”

Yu Xiao's face immediately changed, and he glanced at Fang Xie incredulously.

"The taste under the fence is not pleasant, I know it."

Fang Xie said in a flat tone: "You are smarter than I thought. ”

Yu Xiao smiled bitterly, but his eyes regained a bit of vitality: "Talking counts? ”

Fang Xie nodded: "One word." ”

He grabbed Yu Xiao's arm and slammed it up, Yu Xiao's body flew up, he whirled in mid-air, his hand climbed on the city wall twice and then fell back to the city. Fang Xie watched the figure fly back and picked the corners of his mouth, and then walked back, the defenders on the city wall were a little stupid, this time everyone forgot to release the arrows. After walking a few dozen steps, Fang Xie suddenly stopped again, searched for a stone on the ground, turned around and aimed at the city wall, and then threw the stone up with a whoosh.

The blow was so powerful that the stone streaked a straight trail in the air, and then smashed the head of a Rus' country to pieces with a thud.

"I'm better than you"

Fang Xie gestured a middle finger towards the city wall, not caring at all if this gesture also had international significance in this era.

"Master...... I'm disgraced to you! ”

Yu Xiao knelt down with a bitter face and kowtowed to Zhu Zhutian: "I have lost your face and lost the face of Feng Pingcheng, please punish me." ”

Zhu Baotian didn't seem to be angry, and stretched out his hand to help Yu Xiao: "That's okay, you have a demon in your heart from beginning to end, and this demon is called unwilling." You've always felt that Fang Xie is inferior to you, and you shouldn't think like that anymore from this time. I remember telling you that having a strong enemy isn't necessarily a bad thing, at least it will give you an idea of where your goal is. ”

"Humble ......"

Yu Xiao opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Go back and rest, Fang Xie shouldn't attack again today."

Zhu Baotian waved his hand and said.

Yu Xiao got up, stunned for a while, and then turned around and walked down the city. Only after walking out of the Lu for more than a dozen steps was stopped by Zhu Zhuangtian, he looked back and thought about Zhu Zhuangtian. The meticulous old man in the armor shook his head at him, and his tone was a little heavy: "The second cannon, I didn't order it to be fired. ”

Yu Xiao was shocked in his heart, nodded, and then turned around and left.

Zhu Baotian looked at his back and sighed slightly, and then pointed to the Rus' people: "Kill them all, it's useless to keep people, keep things first." Artillery...... There is only one door, and it is powerless to change the tide of battle. These foreigners' things are good things, I think, in how many years, this kind of thing will become the main weapon on the battlefield, right? Maybe in a few years, the spears and feathered arrows in your hands will be useless, if I have a few hundred cannons......"

He didn't continue, and seemed a little sad.

……

……

The men and horses of the Black Flag Army welcomed Fang Xie back and turned back to the camp.

Wu Yi glanced at Fang Jie, and stopped talking.

"Master Hou wants to ask me why I don't kill him?"

Fang Xie asked with a smile.

Wu Yi nodded: "This person is Yu Manlou's son, I know him quite well, and I also know Yu Manlou very well." To be honest, he and Yu Manlou have no similarities...... Although Yu Manlou rebelled, it was because Prince Yi Yang Yin had a great favor to Yu Manlou, and Yu Manlou knew that he would be defeated, but he still followed Prince Yi Yang Yin to rebel, and he was still kind. That's a person who values affection, and it's a pity to give Yang Yin a funeral. But this son of his...... Hmph"

"Huh?"

Fang Xie was not clear about these things: "Yang Yin is kind to Yu Manlou? ”

"Yes"

Wu Yiyi recalled for a while and said: "Yu Manlou cares about the two people most in his life, his wife and Yu Xiao. His wife was already frail and sickly, but in order to continue the offspring of the Yu family, she secretly conceived a child, and she was already a few months pregnant when Yu Xiao knew the truth. When it was time to give birth, his wife took a trip to the ghost gate, if Yang Yin hadn't sent someone to send an elixir to continue his life, he was afraid that he would have died of dystocia. Since then, the Yu family and Yang Yin have been very close, of course, it is a private and secret matter, after all, the first emperor was very taboo about the personal relationship between courtiers and princes. ”

However, although Yu Manlou's wife saved her life, her body became even weaker. In order to win over Yu Manlou, Yang Yin invited a lot of Langzhong to diagnose and treat and sent a lot of genius treasures. At that time, Yang Yin was still a prince, and he wanted to ascend to the throne, Yu Manlou was already a general with a heavy army, and whoever he supported naturally had a heavy bargaining chip in his hand. Later, Yang Yin invited a good Jianghu guest to guide Yu Xiao to practice, and treated Yu Xiao like his own child in private. ”

Although Yu Manlou's wife died of illness after only a few more years of life, she has always been grateful to Yang Yin. Later, Yu Manlou was almost imprisoned because he was somewhat involved in the case of Jiangdu, but Yang Yin pleaded for mercy many times in front of the first emperor, and the first emperor didn't want to deal with him, so he went down this step and did not pursue it. Yu Manlou was even more grateful to Yang Yin, so there was a mutiny that he knew would be defeated. ”

Fang Xie nodded: "I haven't heard of these things, but I've always heard that Yu Manlou is a relatively gentle person." ”

Wu Yiyi snorted: "I said that the second son is vicious, and he doesn't have a little bit of his father's appearance because of what happened later...... After Prince Yi was defeated, Yu Manlou was raided and destroyed. Since Yu Manlou had long known that the Ludao mutiny would not succeed, he naturally made arrangements early. Before the mutiny, he arranged for Yu Xiao and his sister to escape, including Yu Xiao's three concubines. ”

"This Yu Xiao ......"

Wu Yi took a sip: "In order to let himself escape smoothly, he deliberately exposed the whereabouts of his sister and Yu Manlou's concubines, but he took the opportunity to get out." He himself let out the rumors of the wind to reveal his foothold, and the people of the Ouchi Guard took down his sister and the others together, and he managed to sneak out of Chang'an. He knew that it was very unlikely that everyone would go out of the city together, so he used his sister and those brothers as shields in exchange for his life. ”

Fang Jie's eyes changed, and he nodded: "Remember." ”

Wu Yiyi continued: "Later, the people of the Ouchi Guards were very annoyed because they didn't catch him, and searched the whole city, and before he got out, he deliberately told his sister and others that he was going to a certain place, and sure enough, those people didn't stand the torture, and the people from the Ouchi Guards swarmed away, but they pounced. He did it on purpose, he didn't go there at all. Later, the emperor asked tightly, and the people in the Ouchi Guard Office had no choice, so they found a death row prisoner to replace Yu Xiao, and reported to the court that he had been arrested. ”

"I still listen to Luo Weiran about these things."

Wu Yiyi sighed slightly: "That's why I said, how can a person like Yu Manlou have such a wolf-hearted son!" ”

Fang Xie was silent for a while, and then suddenly smiled: "That's why I put him back." ”

Wu Yiyi didn't understand: "This is exactly what his subordinates don't understand, such a person should be killed immediately, why did the lord put him back?" ”

"Although I don't know that he has such a past......"

Fang Xie smiled and said, "But when I was acting in the martial arts academy, I could see how this person's personality was. He asked me to meet this time, where did he want to kill me? ”

Wu Yi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood: "He came to Fengping to take refuge in Zhu Zhutian, firstly because he was far away from the Great Sui, secondly because this person didn't know what he was about, and thirdly because Zhu Tuotian was strong and strong. It is better to say that he came to take refuge, but it is better to say that he came to speculate. He must have the intention of killing Zhu Baotian and replacing him, if we don't attack the city, maybe he will do it in two or three years at most. ”

"Such a person is so vicious, but he is very good to himself, he saw the army besieging the city, and after calculating, he felt that Fengping could not hold it, so he began to prepare for the back road. He asked the lord to meet in order to paralyze Zhu Baotian! He didn't want to accompany Zhu Zhutian to accompany Feng Ping to the funeral, how could someone who could even abandon his relatives take care of his feelings? He wanted to escape, but he lacked a chance. ”

"Hmm"

Fang Xie nodded: "He didn't do his best, so I guessed his intentions." The talisman must be in Zhu Baotian's hands, he wants to leave, but he is not willing to go by himself, and wants to take Zhu Zhutian's men and horses. So he could only kill Zhu Baotian, and then mobilize people and horses with military talismans, and take advantage of the chaos to escape from Fengping, as for this city, he no longer cares. He didn't fight me to show his strength, but to hide his strength. Let Zhu Baotian think that his cultivation is nothing more than this, and he will have a chance. ”

"If nothing else, tonight he will assassinate Zhu Baotian, steal the talisman, and escape from Fengping. So I said to him, "Let go of the fence at the north gate tonight." ”

"Chen Dingnan"

Fang Xie turned around and ordered: "Take your men and horses, wait at the south gate of Fengping tonight." Kill as many as you come out, and don't keep one. ”

"Whoa!"

Chen Dingnan agreed, but couldn't help muttering in his heart: Didn't the general say that he would open a hole at the north gate tonight, why should he set up an ambush at the south gate?
