Two days later, Yanjing City was down.

The captain of the Southern Military Academy raised the flag and waved it downward, and immediately there was a ballista activation, and the log-like crossbow arrows, driven by the ballista made by the master craftsmen in the army, were like arrows excited, whistling and crashing into the heavy city wall.

In just an instant, dozens of crossbow arrows pierced the city wall, like iron trees blooming, for fixation.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen cloud carts were pushed by soldiers wearing armor, and several platforms were installed on top of the cloud carts, on which crossbowmen were placed, shooting a rain of arrows to suppress the resistance of the northern army at the head of the city.

Weihou fulfilled his promise.

Thousands of soldiers of a hundred battles were arranged in three phalanxes.

After the cloud chariot suppressed the rain of arrows at the head of the city, these extremely belligerent soldiers, who had been killed by the blood and blood of the battle, and were almost mad, under the leadership of the commander, carried towering ladders and rushed to Yanjing in the smoke of gunpowder.

The so-called Xiongcheng of the world, the core of the dynasty for hundreds of years, and the defense of Yanjing City are naturally not comparable to other cities.

In addition, this is the capital of the northern country, once it is breached, it is basically the end of the loss of people's hearts, and the southern army is fierce, after breaking the city, there may be a slaughter of the city.

At this critical moment, the lord of the small country also rewarded him and vowed to live and die with Yanjing.

Many encouragements, multiple means, and multi-pronged measures made the defenders on Yanjing City have a usable morale, and they are also fighting desperately in the face of the Southern Dynasty, the world's sharpest hundred battle army.

Coupled with the numerical superiority, the first wave of siege lasted less than half an hour before it was over.

"There are 3,000 siege forwards, and there is not one survivor of ten."

In the big tent of the Southern Army, a captain replied with a solemn face:

"Master Hou, Raider Yanjing, you can't fight like this. If you fight such a battle a few more times, you are afraid that you will die! It is more appropriate to besiege and break the city. ”

Such suggestions made the other high-ranking people in the camp nod slightly.

Indeed, if they want to defeat a Xiongcheng like Yanjing, even if the soldiers they brought are exhausted, they will not be able to make a splash.

But Wei Hou, who was sitting on the chair, didn't even lift his eyelids.

He rubbed the tiger talisman in his hand and asked softly:

"Captain Wen, are you questioning Ben Hou's strategy?"

The captain who spoke first was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly replied with his hands crossed:

"The last general will not dare!"

"Old man, I see that you dare very much."

Zhao Lian picked up the tiger talisman in his hand, handed it to the captain whose fingers trembled, and said in a non-serious tone:

"Since Captain Wen is so strategic, it is better to take over the tiger talisman of Ben Hou, and the army will be dispatched by you, and the old man will change positions with you and personally take Erlang to the city to attack, okay?"

"Smack"

The captain pushed the golden mountain and fell to the ground, shouting that he didn't dare.

The rest of the people in the tent will look at each other as well.

That's not right.

Weihou has ruled the army for decades, and he has a high reputation in the army, and he was not such a person who could not listen to opinions in the past, and everyone respected Weihou not all because of his status as a relative of the emperor.

What's going on today?

It's like a sudden change of person.

Isn't it, is it really like the gossip spread by those people in the rivers and lakes, there are already evil ghosts breeding in this world, and it is impossible to find innocent people to be reincarnated?

Moreover, this Wen Lieutenant was picked up by Wei Hou.

is very valued, dares to fight, and has strategy, but is Weihou's real confidant, and today he actually makes such heart-wrenching words. Could it be that Captain Wen did something that made Weihou extremely dissatisfied?

"Alright, get up and kneel like that!"

Weihou retracted the Tiger Talisman.

With a smile on his face, as if joking with a young man, he raised his head and smiled at the others in the tent and said:

"Captain Wen is young, unstable, and needs to be sharpened, so let's do it, from today on, he will go to the logistics of the army to supervise the grain, grass and food.

Do you think the old man's handling is fair? ”

Fair?

Of course it's not fair!

However, the one just now really frightened everyone, and no one dared to say anything against it.

Captain Wen's face was as dead as ashes, trembling and handing over the talismans, and walked out of the tent.

After he had left, Wei Hou twisted his beard and said:

"I am waiting to come here, and I will bring 30,000 troops from a hundred battles, just because I fancy the secret method they have cultivated, this Yanjing City is a difficult bone to gnaw, and it must have a good tooth.

This siege of the city was left to the army of a hundred battles.

Ben Hou is very confident in them, and as for the loss, there is no need to worry. ”

Zhao Lian patted his knee and said:

"If this war is successful, then the unification of the world by our country is just around the corner, if it fails, there will be no such good opportunity in the next ten years. How can it be possible to complete the battle without casualties?

Ben Hou before the army, has been given the command of Longwuwei's 40,000 hundred battle army, they are at this time, by sea, to Qilu, at most ten days of marching, can reach the city of Yanjing. ”

Wei Hou paused, he glanced at the people in front of him, and said in an accentuated tone:

"Even if this battle kills all the hundred battle troops carefully accumulated by our country, even if the old man and I are shrouded in horse leather and buried here, you must take the tiger talisman in the old man's hand and knock Yanjing down!

This is the military order that the old man made for you!

Do you know? ”

The hearts of the people were solemn.

Wei Hou is a man who can't say big things, and since he has said this today, he has really made up his mind.

A few thoughtful people have heard a different taste from Wei Hou's words.

Weihou, this is a made up mind, and the Hundred Battles Army will be used as cannon fodder.

At least until all the Hundred Battles Army dies in Yanjing City, this battle will not end, and with the Hundred Battles Army's fierce beast combat power, 70,000 people will continue to attack day and night...

Yanjing will be broken!

This battle is stable!

-----------

At the same time that Weihou issued a military order to his subordinates, Yanjing City was in the imperial city.

Yelu Jienan was putting down the wolf pen in his hand, and the royal table in front of the small lord was full of the twists and turns that had just been drawn, and his young face was full of tiredness.

The little lord stood up, a little impatient, threw the jade crown on his head on the table, waved his clothes, and walked outside the main hall.

This action and demeanor are not quite in line with the majesty of the lord, but the palace maids and eunuchs in the main hall lowered their heads one by one, just pretending not to see it, and no one dared to step forward to stop it, let alone admonish it.

Some time ago, the thirty-seven old palace people who were killed in the palace with a rod had used their fate to warn these palace people that they dared to be rude to the lord of the country.

Yelu Jienan stood on the steps of the main hall, wearing a dark dragon robe, carrying his hands behind his back, looking at the dense clouds overhead.

Today's sunset seems to be as red as blood.

Even though the imperial city is still far away from the city wall, the little lord of the country can't calm down today, as if he can hear the loyal and brave people on the city wall, shouting hoarsely to kill.

This fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was quite uneasy in his heart.

In fact, if there is no Zhao Lian in the south of the country, there is no matter of leading troops to attack the city.

In the past six months since the Battle of Jinling, it has definitely been the most comfortable and comfortable time that Yelu Jienan has lived since he was sensible.

At the beginning of the end of the Jinling War, the news of the death of the national teacher was transmitted back to the country, which caused an uproar among the ministers, and the witch sect was in chaos, and even Yelu Jienan himself did not believe this rumor.

He withstood the instigation of those imperial relatives at the beginning, and did not rush to take back the power of the court at the first time.

Although he is young, when it comes to patience, he has no shortage at all in the dormant years of fighting wits and courage with happiness, and this kid secretly recruits people with a calmness and calculation that does not fit his age.

On the night when the news of Xing's death in battle was confirmed, the high-level of the Tongwu Sect and the big nobles of the court and the central government were defeated after a fire in Yanjing City, and when they were both defeated, Yelu Jienan led a group of small nobles he had drawn together and came out of nowhere.

In one day and one night, the two sides who had lost the battle were cleaned up.

Yelu Jienan will never forget the day seven months ago, when the snow was wafting in the imperial city, and it was very cold, the same cold as the past winter days in his memory.

But that day, his heart was hot.

Stepping on the steps that had not yet been wiped clean of the blood stains, under the arch of a group of guards with knives waiting to be seen, under the shouts of Ade's raised eyebrows, he sat on the dragon chair with the smell of blood all over his body.

On that day, a third of the important ministers of the court were gone.

The rest, in the face of their own casual admonition, could only nod in response.

On that day, all those who had bullied their sister and their old palace people with the momentum of joy, did not need to be instructed by themselves, but only passed with one eye, and when they returned to the palace, thirty-seven evil slaves were quietly killed by the rod.

Yelu Jienan does not like to show his "majesty" by killing.

But this young man also had to admit that after dying happily, the feeling of being a puppet lord and holding power in person really made people feel a little fluttering.

It's like stepping on the clouds and looking down on all beings.

Of course, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight, and if you sit firmly in the dragon chair, you must start to exercise great power, and the heavy government affairs are pressed on the shoulders of the small lords, and the small nobles of the alliance come to ask for power all day long.

These things are all troublesome, one by one, but Yelu Jienan doesn't care.

He originally thought that his ideals and ambitions would not have a chance to be realized in this life, but now he has a God-given opportunity, as if God wants to take this opportunity to test his strength.

He was full of ambition and was about to let go of his hands and restore the Northern Dynasty, which was happy with cholera, to the state of peace and security.

He was not naïve either, and did not rashly accept the peace offer of the southern envoys, and before any negotiations, the soldiers trapped in the Central Plains had to be withdrawn.

For this reason, he also divided the garrison of Qilu and went to reinforce it.

As a result, this division of troops will divide the incident.

But to be honest, Yanjing's crisis at this time cannot be entirely blamed on Yelu Jienan, no one would have imagined that the army of the southerners would be so fierce that in less than ten days, it crossed Qilu Youyan.

It took more than ten years for the north to lay down several important military towns, but they couldn't even drag the reinforcements from Liaodong to help.

"Alas, in the past, we talked about the affairs of the world, but today we know that the world is difficult to do."

The little lord sighed helplessly and worriedly.

Behind him, Ade, the most popular and trusted eunuch in front of the emperor, was holding the dust, quietly staying behind the lord, not expressing any opinion on the sorrow of the lord.

Said to be a "big" eunuch.

In fact, he is about the same age as Yelu Jienan.

The two grew up together, and when Yeluwan was still there, she also took care of this trusted and well-behaved little eunuch as a younger brother.

However, Ade is very responsible, and he does not touch anything that is out of the ordinary.

When the lord of the country was at his most depressed, he and the lord of the country survived each other, and now that the good days have just begun, he must not fall on these small things that are different from the king's ministers and servants.

"Ade, what's going on on the city walls? Where are the Liaodong reinforcements now? Mongolian Golden Horde, can there be a reply? ”

Yelu Jienan touched his freshly grown beard and asked.

Ade leaned over, and whispered in a male duck voice:

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the military horses outside the customs have arrived at Shanhaiguan two days ago, that is the elite division of our dynasty, with its combat power, it will be able to relieve the siege of Yanjing in a few days.

As for the Mongolian Golden Horde, there has been no news so far.

The Mongolian envoy also fled from the city yesterday night, and the matter of the eldest princess has caused a rift between the two countries, and this time the matter of Yanjing, I am afraid that they will not be able to count on them.

above the city walls..."

Ade stole a glance at the expressionless face of the lord of the small country, and he said:

"On the city wall, the soldiers used their lives and the commander was firm, and today they repelled the mad attack of the southern country 17 times, and did not let the southern thieves climb our city wall an inch.

Military Heart is available. ”

"Ade, the news I got from the beggar gang eyeliner is not like this."

Yelu Jienan pursed his lips, this vivid expression made him seem to have a trace of a child of his age, who should jump out, but it was only for a moment.

He said to Ade behind him:

"Even you're starting to lie to me? It seems that this rule of sitting on the dragon chair and being a lonely widow is really not the nonsense of the sages. ”

"Your Majesty forgives you."

Ade hurriedly knelt on the ground and confessed his guilt repeatedly, without being forced to ask by Yelu Jienan, Ade said everything in his heart like pouring beans on a bamboo tube:

"The villain has been advised, Your Majesty's heart. The villain is similar to the lord of the country, and originally intended to be a stand-in, and tomorrow evening, send a credible person to send His Majesty out of the city. ”

"Ade!"

Yelu Jienan was not impressed.

He knew that Ade was loyal to him, and originally thought that he was lying to deceive him just so that he would not become anxious and angry.

But when I heard Ade, he was told by others, and he wanted to take care of his luggage, so his face sank.

He snapped:

"I believe you so much, and you still listen to the commands of others!"

Ade didn't answer.

Just bowed his head and handed over a rolled-up letter with both hands.

The little country lord reached out and took it in his hand angrily, opened it and glanced at it, his face became delicate, and he was very familiar with the handwriting on the paper.

After reading the letter, Yelu Jienan's expression became a little better.

"It's Sister."

A look of surprise appeared on the little lord's face, and he waved his hand at Ade, motioning for him to get up.

He happily flipped through the letter in his hand and looked at it over and over again, and soon found a suspicious point, and he said to the trusted person behind him:

"My sister is so capable, not only dare to confront the happy dog thief, but also ask the masters of the rivers and lakes to save me, but, when will I have another 'brother-in-law'?"

Speaking of this, Yelu Jienan gritted his teeth and said:

"I don't know which lucky guy can win the heart of my sister.

Sister Ah too, happy to be dead, the country is no trouble, she actually hid from me, secretly became a relative, and did not bring that person to Yanjing to show me. ”

"Well, it's useless to talk about it now."

The lord of the little country got his sister's letter and was in a better mood.

Although the letter specifically told Ade not to tell Yelu Jienan, Yeluwan knows his younger brother best, and he has a strong sense of self-esteem, once he knows it, he will not be willing to abandon his family and country, and live secretly.

As it turned out, Yeluwan's concern was correct.

"Ade, you go and gather the heirs of the Yelu family, as well as those meritorious men and the children of the family, and send them out of the city tomorrow night by the way of the beggars."

The little country lord waved his sleeves quite chicly, he glanced back at the hall behind him, and looked in the direction of Yanjing City Gate.

He said to Ade:

"The Southern Naval Division, probably won't let the reinforcements from Liaodong come so smoothly, then Zhao Lian's name, I have also heard of it, since he came to Yanjing, he thought that he had made all the preparations to destroy our dynasty.

I am still young, I have not yet married my own son, and now I know that my sister has married a lover, and my worries are gone.

I can't keep the country left by my father, and I am no longer filial.

How can you still abandon your home and country, leave the front-line soldiers, and steal your life alone? ”

"I... Ahem, if you want to stay as the monarch of the country, the last dignity will be with this Yanjing and the world of the northern country, live and die together! ”
