Chapter 53: I Raise a Villain in Troubled Times (53)
The scolding of the servants in the small courtyard, the snow in front of the Xie Mansion, the weak hands of the mother before she died, and the half of the steamed buns on the ground in the alley...... There is also the indifferent figure of the girl in the shadow of the sword and sword.
Countless memories came back to Xie Qun's mind, and he closed his eyes. If he couldn't have supreme power and great power, he would still be the kid in the backyard of Xie Mansion.
The crowd was bustling, Xie Qun opened his eyes and stepped on the road he had come.
The night passed peacefully, and the Yuyang army, which had captured the city, had a night's rest and recuperation, and its morale was better than before. This kind of small county town is located in a remote area, and there are only one or two wealthy households in the city, which is not as good as the previous Yuyang.
Chongfeng had no intention of wasting time in this kind of place, since he saw Ye Shenyu's playing style yesterday, he felt that it was not impossible to rely on these 30,000 people to take Qizhou City in one go. He discussed with Gao Wenbin to leave a few thousand people to garrison, and then sent a letter to Gu Zhi asking him to send someone to take over, and set off with the Yuyang army that had just captured a city.
Towards evening, they rushed to the city of Qizhou.
Ye Shenyu rode his horse and walked in the front, looking at the tall city walls of Qizhou City from a distance. Qizhou is the largest city north of Huainan, although it is not comparable to Huaicheng, but it is also much stronger than other cities along the way.
Ye Shenyu was a little moved when he saw Qizhou City for the first time, and the city is big enough to mean that there is money, food, and restaurants. Her grip on the reins tightened, and she pulled the knife out of the spatial rift.
Chongfeng followed up from the army in the rear and said with a smile: "Lord, can Qizhou City satisfy the lord?" "This time he went with him, so he was not as afraid of Ye Shenyu as before. He found out that Ye Shenyu was not a person who would kill people for no reason, but no one could guess what she was thinking, so it seemed that he was impermanent.
Having said that, Chongfeng still couldn't understand Ye Shenyu's actions, but he wasn't as afraid as before.
Ye Shenyu calculated that it would take a few knives to get in, but he didn't speak.
Chongfeng didn't care, looked at the towering city wall and said: "I'm afraid it's not good to ......fight this time," he paused, and said to Ye Shenyu in a low voice: "Lord, Qizhou City is not as good as other cities." If Qizhou is lost, whether it is Jiangdong or Huainan, they will definitely try their best to regain it. ”
"If there is no city gate, I am afraid it will be difficult to guard."
Ye Shenyu glanced back at him, and Chongfeng's voice became lower and lower: "If you can, the lord should not cut down the city gate." "The wood used to make the gates has gone through many processes, not to mention the fact that the iron sheets that wrap the gates are not melted down overnight. After the siege of the city, the city gate cannot be repaired, how to defend the city in the future?
Ye Shenyu frowned, if he couldn't cut the city gate, the Yuyang army wouldn't be able to enter. Wouldn't that mean she's going to come alone?
She looked at the city gate and pondered for a moment, and Chongfeng still called in her ear: "What does the lord think?" ”
Just when Chongfeng felt the pressure and was about to change her mind and let her cut down the city gate, Ye Shenyu nodded and responded, "I know." ”
Chongfeng was stunned for a moment, and then he was so moved that he almost burst into tears on the spot: Ye Shenyu actually listened to persuasion. But if you think about it carefully, she also listened to Gu Zhi's persuasion before. For some reason, he found that Ye Shenyu listened to his advice vigorously, and he was extremely moved.
Chongfeng was sighing on the spot, and when he turned his head, he found that Ye Shenyu had walked out a few meters away. He caught up and called, "Lord, what are you going to do?" ”
"Punch in." Ye Shenyu spit out two words concisely and in horror, and no longer paid attention to Chongfeng, and drove the war horse under him to run under the city wall.
The defenders of Huainan had already spotted her, and the archers stretched their bows and arrows, and the tips of the arrows were sharp and bright. The general defending the city shouted, "Who is the one who came down from the city?" ”
Ye Shenyu raised his head, glanced at the people on the city wall, and drew the long knife with his backhand and threw it out. The long knife flew out and stuck on the city wall, entering the blade of more than three inches.
The Huainan army on the city wall was looking down for unknown reasons, and before he could open his mouth to ask again, he saw that the girl had abandoned her horse, pointed one foot on the body of the long knife, and jumped to the city wall with her strength.
Seeing this, the general defending the city shouted: "Shoot the arrows!" ”
The archers on the ramparts immediately let go of their arrows, but did not wait for the rain of arrows to fall to the ground. Ye Shenyu had already lightly landed on the side of the general guarding the city, and the long knife that was originally inserted in the city wall had returned to her hand at some point.
She glanced at the general beside her with her peripheral vision, and before he could shout the next order, the sword flashed. A bloody streak appeared on the neck of the general defending the city and fell.
By the time the defenders on the city wall woke up to chase her, Ye Shenyu had already jumped off the city wall and stood on the streets of Yuyang.
The street beneath her feet was wide enough to allow four carriages to walk side by side. Ye Shenyu pulled out the map given by the system, confirmed his location, and then jumped to the courtyard wall next to the street and swept in one direction.
Outside Qizhou City, Chongfeng watched Ye Shenyu jump into Qizhou City two or three times in a daze. After a few seconds, he rode his horse and ran wildly towards the Yuyang army.
"General Gao, attack the city! The lord entered the city of Qizhou. ”
The camp of the Yuyang army was only half stationed, and when Gao Wenbin heard Chongfeng's shout, he didn't care about continuing to set up camps, and immediately ordered the whole army to attack and capture Qizhou City.
The general defending the city of Qizhou had just been beheaded, half of the defenders were chasing Ye Shenyu, and the remaining defenders were weak and could only close the city gates and rely on bows and arrows and throwing stones to resist.
The cloud ladder brought out from Yuyang City finally came in handy at this time, and Gao Wenbin felt a little relieved when he saw the cloud ladder on the city wall. This is called siege warfare, what was the thing that was fought yesterday?
In Qizhou City, Ye Shenyu had already left behind the defenders who were chasing him. She walked in a straight line directly above the walls of the house and the courtyard. No matter how familiar the defenders were with Qizhou City, they couldn't catch up with her by detouring between the streets and alleys.
But there were clever people who struck gongs directly in the streets and shouted: "An enemy has infiltrated the city!" ”
In fact, Ye Shenyu broke in directly, but she was only one person, and the person who shouted was afraid of causing chaos, so she shouted that she had sneaked in.
Hearing the shouts, the Huainan army in Qizhou City looked around for where the enemy was. The defenders who chased after them turned left and right in the city, trying to catch up with Ye Shenyu in front.
All of a sudden, the city of Qizhou was bustling.
Ye Shenyu crossed several courtyard walls and landed on the last building in Qizhou City. Condescendingly, she quickly found the building marked on the map and leaned over and jumped in that direction.
In the small alley separated by two courtyard walls behind him, a Huainan army shouted: "The enemy is in front, chase quickly!" ”
I don't know when they went around, Ye Shenyu had already stepped on the courtyard wall of the destination, and there was a plaque hanging on the courtyard gate at the bottom right of her: Taishou Mansion.
