Section 42: Picking up bones
Liu Fang watched coldly, Yun Ye decided to put this fire on his own, whether it was successful or not, he finally tried his best, if it wasn't for the support of a trace of obsession in his heart, he would have run back to Chang'an with a large team of people, as for the victory or defeat of the battle, the impact of the incident is not within the scope of Yun Ye's consideration at all, as long as his subordinates can still happily transport food, fish, and sell kelp, who cares whether the military can catch the war or not.
Yun Ye held this most simple idea and led the army to set fires at the four city gates, and at the same time, three thousand auxiliary soldiers began to dig up Jingguan to rush the bones, there was no room for complaint, and there was no ceremony, that is, to dig up Jingguan and transport all the bones inside, and the auxiliary soldiers carried bags of bones, like carrying a bag of grain, back and forth between Liaoshui and Jingguan.
There is no need for lighting, the flaming Dawang City is the best candle, the moat is like a flowing lava river, burning violently, and entering the city along the low waterway, 100,000 catties of black oil and as much as 3,000 catties of kerosene, I don't know what kind of scourge this city can become, Yun Ye doesn't care, he just needs the people in Dawang City not to come out to make trouble when the auxiliaries carry the bones.
The Koreans finally felt frightened, they didn't know how long the fire would burn, in order to survive from the city gate with flames to attack out, trebuchets kept throwing oil cans at the city gate, trying to burst out of the sea of fire, it was completely impossible, they still insisted on pouring water on the city gate, trying to extinguish the fire, because of the wrong method, the flame burned more and more fiercely.
"How many bones were taken away? If we can't transport it before the oil is burned, we don't want the rest, and we will immediately prepare to retreat, and we will not disobey the order. Yun Ye, who had a black and white face on his face, was very funny at this time, but Lai Chuanfeng didn't dare to disobey at all, and even he could see that his boss was already on the verge of rage.
"Don't worry, more than half of it has been transported now, and it will definitely be able to be transported away in three hours."
"That's good. Up to four hours. At that time, everyone must board the ship, and the order will be given, Liu Ren is willing to prepare to retreat, and I don't want to stay in this damn place for a quarter of an hour. “
Lai Chuanfeng looked at the Goryeo people running out of the flames in a daze, and some of them fell to the ground after running a few steps, opening their mouths to scream. But no sound came out, and the body gradually curled up, pumped, and finally began to burn, until it turned into charcoal, this hellish scene. Let this fierce general, who is accustomed to death and never take human life seriously, swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva before he calmed down, and looked at Yun Ye's eyes with more and more awe.
Yun Ye rode Wangcai back and forth outside the city, he had a cloth towel tied to his face, and Wangcai also helped with a cloth towel on his mouth, not to cover his face. It's because of the smoke. I can't stand it.
When it was light, Yun Ye found that the lava river was no longer on fire. The flames at the gate of the city are also gradually extinguished, perhaps because the city built by the Koreans is too strong, after the fire, except for the change from cyan to black, the rest seems to have not changed, even the gate building is intact.
More than a thousand cavalry suddenly ran out of the city gate, ignoring the crossbow arrows like flying locusts, their bodies were attached to their horses, and they galloped without their lives, and many war horses fell to the ground as they ran, and their mouths were helplessly spitting black foam, horses were like this, and people were like this, and many people were coughing frantically while running, as if they wanted to spit out their lungs.
Liu Fang pointed to the fish that slipped through the net and said, "If you listen to me and ambush a cavalry there, there will definitely be no fish that slip through the net." “
"You're right, it's really my mistake, I didn't want to kill all the people, I just want to move the bones back, as long as they don't hinder me from carrying the bones, I don't even think about this city."
"That's not what a general should say." Liu Fang sighed and returned to the camp depressed.
The soldiers ran away, and countless women and children with packages ran out of the city gate, they were braver than those soldiers, and they supported each other like that, as if they couldn't see the Tang Dynasty soldiers who were eyeing each other.
This is no longer a person, whether it is an adult or a child, it is all pitch black, and there are traces of tears rushing out of the face one by one, hugging, calling, wailing, and walking in the direction guided by the corpse of the Korean cavalry.
Yun Ye lay on Wangcai's broad back, holding his chin in his hand and watching these women and children walk in front of him, he didn't speak from beginning to end, he didn't hear Yun Ye order to attack, even the most ruthless soldiers in the Tang Dynasty couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that his whole body was relaxed.
No one came out of the cave at the city gate, and the bold soldier poked his head into it curiously, but he couldn't see anything clearly, his side was already full of sunshine, but black smoke was billowing in the city gate, like hell.
Looking up at the sun, Yun Ye just waved his hand, and walked in the direction of the sailor with all the soldiers, and after walking halfway, Yun Ye found that a leg bone was left on the ground, jumped off the horse, picked up the leg bone, and inserted it in his quiver, there were many bones scattered along the way, Yun Ye picked them up one by one, and he couldn't hold it himself, so he asked Liu Jinbao to also hold a bag, which was not like picking up human bones, but more like a hard-working peasant woman picking up ears of wheat in the wheat field.
"Dashuai, what should we do with the rest of the catapults and siege vehicles?" A lieutenant hurriedly came over and asked.
"Burn it, burn it all, after lighting the fire, immediately follow the team, let's go home!"
The originally silent team heard Da Shuai's words, and immediately cheered, it turned out that their battle had been over, and they followed Yun Ye closely, picking up dry bones in the wilderness, and picking up a foot bone was considered a good harvest, and those who picked up arm bones would be praised by others, and if they picked up a skeleton, they would be as happy as picking up gold.
At this time, no one felt that those bones were dirty, nor did they feel that there were any resentful spirits attached to them, these people were actually their own robed brothers, and they could feel great joy from the bones they held in their arms.
When Yun Ye looked back, the Jingguan that was still standing there a few days ago had disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a huge stone stele, which was also engraved with the origin and reason of the Jingguan a few days ago, and now, all the words on it were gone, only the eight big characters "Yun Ye broke the king's city here", the font was blood red, reflecting the seeping light in the sun.
Yun Ye's luck was great, he actually picked up a phalanx by the water, this phalanx was very clean washed by the river, he took a handkerchief to wipe off the water stains on it, put the bone into his purse, and as soon as he lifted the reins, Wangcai hissed happily, and ran wildly on the soft sand under his feet.
Tongueless looked at Yun Ye, who was galloping on a horse by the river, and said to Liu Fang: "This kid is very good, even if he can't be a general, he can become a very good person, why do we have to let him be able to manage the army and the people when he gets off the horse?" Who said that a good general is one who kills a lot? What do you see him becoming these days? Wangcai is not happy. ”
"The old man is like, always thinking about teaching him all his skills before he dies, always thinking that the general should have the French style he should have, now it seems, redundant, it is also a very good choice to live happily in life, I hope my wind can be like him without disease and disaster for a hundred years."
Untie the cable, lift the anchor, the raft goes down the water, the spring water is surging, the snow melts and joins the big river, the whole big river appears more majestic, although there is no clear ripple in winter, the turbid water is surging but Yun Ye always thinks of the long river in Longzhong.
Yun Ye lay on the deck, opened his clothes, and wanted the warm spring sun to drive away the last trace of shadow in his heart, Wangcai came over, lay down beside him, and arched him with his mouth, when Yun Ye was lying on the deck in the past, he always leaned on his belly, why did he lie on the ground today?
Leaning back, his head resting on Wangcai's belly, he was comfortable, Wangcai felt comfortable, Lao Fang used to be the steward of the Yun family's outer courtyard, since he saw Hou Ye, of course, he had to do his old job, brewed tea from the cabin, carefully scraped off the foam, checked it, and saw that the tea was golden and satisfied, the Yun family's cook was on the boat, and made two small snacks for Yun Ye, the rose crisp was a little hard, and the osmanthus cake was too sweet, Lao Fang pouted and kicked the cook's ass twice to dissipate his anger, If such tamping goods are at home, they are only rationed to the people under them.
Walking to the deck with a wooden plate, he slowly placed it next to Yun Ye, now that his body is blessed, it has become difficult to bend down to do these things, but he is still meticulous in his work.
Yun Ye, who had his eyes closed, suddenly said: "Uncle Fang, we have been separated for a while, why are we unfamiliar, I am not a person who is too particular, what do you do to make yourself so tired." “
"Hou Ye, our family is also a famous family in Chang'an, you can't indulge us too much, the comfort of the family, everyone knows, but comfortable for a long time, I don't want to move around, you see, these kills are now not even two simple snacks can not be done, wronged Hou Ye, you have fought repeatedly, the flag will be captured, the whole family is glorious, the little ones serve you is a blessing, under your big tree, be a little bird to pick up two insects and insects to eat, it is the ancestors who have accumulated virtue for eight lifetimes."
"Okay, Uncle Fang, you still can't get rid of your habit of patting on the back, but if you have a master, you must have a servant, I'm just like this, you want to go home and continue to be a steward, of course you can, the people in the family run all over the world, Uncle Qian can't be busy alone, it's okay if you go home, it's not bad to help Uncle Qian take care of the housekeeper, a lot of age, it's not good to always come and go in the wind and rain, just settle down, outside things, just let the boys run." (To be continued.) )
