Volume III Chapter 49 Retreat from the Enemy
"I'm much older than you, and I've been in the Green Building...... You, don't you dislike it? Actually......"
Zhou Qian opened her mouth to speak, but in the end she still didn't finish the last sentence.
Yang Fan scratched his head and said,
"Of course I don't dislike it, you're a big star, I'm just a poor student, if it weren't for coming here, I'm afraid there would be no intersection between us at all, and you're just selling your art in the Qinglou, it's similar to a star position, how can I dislike it, but ......"
Yang Fan also said without saying anything.
Zhou Qian asked,
"But what?"
Yang Fan said in his heart, if I want to say it now, I will definitely be regarded by Zhou Qian as a big pervert, a disciple or something, and he lied busily,
"However, I'm afraid you won't like me!"
Zhou Qian suddenly laughed and said,
"If two years ago, sister, I really didn't think that I would marry a much younger student, but now, now that I am old, in this world, a woman of my age has not yet married, and she will definitely be laughed at, so I marry you now, you are at a loss!"
Yang Fanwan didn't expect Zhou Qian to say this, and his heart suddenly felt a lot easier.
"Then I'm still at a loss? …… Is it a loss? ”
Yang Fan deliberately glanced at Zhou Qian slyly.
"Loss! Sorry for you! ”
Zhou Qian glanced at Yang Fan, and when the ambiguous aura between the two was sublimating, suddenly a black man rushed in violently.
"Young master, it's not good, Li Yuan's army is attacking the city!"
"What!"
These words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Yang Fan was shocked.
This unexpected event made Yang Fan have to abandon the good mood just now and start thinking about how to face the current situation.
"How many of them are there?"
Yang Fan immediately asked.
Wei Chi Jingde immediately replied,
"According to the report of the city generals, Li Yuan's troops have about 100,000 soldiers and horses!"
"One hundred thousand? How are there so many! How many do we have now? ”
Wei Chi Jingde said again,
"Our soldiers, horses, and prisoners, as well as newly recruited soldiers, are about a little more than 40,000."
Yang Fan glanced at Zhou Qian, only to see that she was looking at herself worriedly, and hurriedly said,
"Sister Zhou Qian, don't worry, I can handle it!"
Zhou Qian nodded, but Yang Fan didn't dare to delay, and immediately got up and got out of bed.
……
At this time, in Lucheng, Yang Fan summoned several generals who led the troops on the general platform and began to discuss how to deal with the enemy!
Li Yuan's army outside the city was constantly shouting at the moment, hundreds of thousands of troops had already opened their formations, and Li Yuan at the front was wearing a silver armor, wearing a long sword at his waist, and there were several tiger generals following him.
"Listen to the people in the city, General Li Yuan said, as long as you open the city gate, we will never kill innocents indiscriminately, our General Li Yuan just wants to meet with the young master, and there is absolutely no intention of attacking the city!"
A few small soldiers with loud voices under the city were shouting at this moment, but the nonsense in their mouths did not move the generals defending the city in the slightest.
However, in the afternoon, Li Yuan's troops finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to lead archers and siege soldiers to start an attack on the walls of Lucheng!
However, at this time, Yang Fan did not set up too many soldiers on the city wall, except for reinforcing the city gate, using the mechanical principles of engineering to strengthen the city gate, and pouring a lot of strange oil on the city wall, the rest of the soldiers were nowhere to be found.
The siege soldiers used the ladder to start a storm on the walls, but when the soldiers climbed the walls, they were instantly shot into dice!
Yang Fan was not idle, but collected sulfur, saltpeter and other things in the city!
At night, Li Yuan's army finally broke through the city gate, and a series of troops poured into the city!
However, not long after entering the city, there was an explosion in the city!
With the sound of these explosions, nearly 100 soldiers were instantly torn apart!
However, the people behind were stunned, looking at the companion who suddenly died in front of them, and hesitated for a while!
"What's going on! Why don't you attack! ”
……
After a while, Li Yuan discovered the abnormality and instantly asked the spy.
"No, it's not good, I don't know what is buried in the city, as soon as the soldiers walk over, there will be an explosion, and more than 5,000 soldiers have been killed by this kind of thing in just one hour!"
"What! How can there be such a thing? ”
Li Yuan was shocked for a while, after all, from the beginning of the siege of the city, until now, his own part has not exchanged fire with the main force of the enemy, and if it is nearly 10,000 soldiers, where is not afraid!
However, at this moment, the siege order has been issued, if the troops are collected at this time, I am afraid that they will be pursued by the enemy, and what makes Li Yuan even more worried is that he has not seen a single enemy general appear until now.
"Father, I think it's better to retreat first, now we don't know the situation in the city, if you attack rashly, I'm afraid the loss will be great, the child heard that this young master's ability is extraordinary, he took Lu City in just one night, and he used 20,000 soldiers to repel Wang Shichong's 80,000 army, this kind of person we can't underestimate him!"
It was Li Yuan's second son Li Shimin who spoke, Li Shimin was slightly chubby and a little shorter than Li Yuan, and stood beside Li Yuan at this time and persuaded him.
Even though Li Yuan was unwilling, he finally nodded,
"Withdraw first!"
……
At this time, it was not easy for Li Yuan's army to enter the city, and it was also painful when he left the city.
I don't know when, at dozens of corners of the city tower, there is an inexplicable group of archers, these shooters almost don't need to aim, looking at those enemy troops in the entire city, they can kill a few by shooting at will.
However, Li Yuan's army still retreated from the city, and there were more than 15,000 soldiers who were lost back and forth.
A few hours after the withdrawal, Li Yuan's troops were stationed at the foot of Mount Tai outside the city, where they could be repaired.
Originally, I thought that it would not be a difficult thing to take down Lu Cheng, but at this moment, Li Yuan was worried.
At this time, it was already afternoon, and it was the time when Li Yuan's troops began to raise smoke and blow fire, but the people in the troops did not relax their vigilance, because with Li Shimin's orders, all the soldiers leaned on the side with weapons in their hands to eat.
At this moment, a soldier on horseback from a distance came towards Li Yuan's troops.
"Report! General, there is a messenger in Lucheng asking to see you! ”
Hearing that Lu Cheng sent an envoy, Li Yuan gritted his teeth angrily and immediately ordered,
"Cut that man down for me, and divide the body of five horses!"
Li Shimin knew that Li Yuan was on fire at the moment, and he had not won a battle in half a year, so he was inevitably a little annoyed in his heart, but he still persuaded out of reason,
"Father, don't do this, let's listen to what the messenger said first, and it's not too late to kill when the time comes!"
Li Yuan did not listen to Li Shimin's advice at this time, and insisted on killing the messenger!
Li Shimin suddenly knelt down on one knee and said,
"Father, let's let the child go and meet the messenger, the current situation is complicated, winning the hearts of the people is the long-term solution, father can't be rash!"
