Chapter 282: The Imperial Court Retreats
Wang Er trembled with fright. "IβI really don't have ......"
He doesn't care what his family is, he just wants to live!
If Yang Qi hadn't promised him a generous bounty for retirement after the matter was completed, he wouldn't have been involved in the war anymore, and he wouldn't have taken this risk!
But now ......
"Really?" Su Yue sneered, seemingly pure and harmless, but when the shadow of the backlight outlined a haze on her face, Wang Er looked at her eyes, and her whole soul seemed to be hit.
"Give me the torture instruments." Su Yueleng stretched out his hand, and Ah Qiang lifted up the rack of torture tools that had been prepared earlier.
Rows and rows of bloodstained torture instruments, pliers, tweezers, silver needles, toothed knives, finger clips...... The list goes on, and each of them exudes a chilling air, as if just looking at it, you can hear the screams it has witnessed!
"What are you going to do?!" Wang Er kept shrinking back, but the cage was limited, and he was still grabbed by Su Yueleng's arm.
"Don't be afraid, you are suspicious now, for the sake of the overall situation, I naturally have to confirm it again and again." Su Yue coldly pulled out the first needle. "I'm going to use these torture instruments on you now, and if you still insist on your answer in the end, I'll let you go, and give you ten taels of gold to return to your hometown to retire."
Su Yue's cold face was indifferent, even with a slight smile, but the words she said made people chill!
Wang Er was dumbfounded.
There are so many torture instruments, to say the least, there are twenty!
If he uses it in the same way, let alone live, it's a question of whether there is a whole corpse or not!
Without life, no matter how much gold she has, she will not be blessed!
"I say I say!" Wang Er grabbed Su Yueleng's hand, scared and excited. "I have already sent a letter to Yang Qi before, telling him that we found an abandoned granary in the fields south of the city, and there are three months of extra grain!"
As he spoke, the soldiers all over the street were furious.
"Traitor!"
"Unforgivable!!"
Wang Er felt the anger that sparked in all directions, and he was physically and mentally afraid. "Please, I've said everything I should have said, save me!"
Su Yueleng shook off his hand and stood up.
"I promised you that if you told the truth, I wouldn't torture you, but I didn't say I wouldn't kill you."
Hearing this, Wang Er's eyes widened. "You can't do this, spare me...... IβI can help you pass on the fake news, I can help you...... I can ......."
His screams were drowned out by the beating after being dragged out of the cage by the crowd.
Su Yueleng did not have the slightest sympathy.
"Yue Leng, in fact, this guy's proposal just now makes a bit of sense, are you sure you don't need him to be a double agent?" Poison Mei Niang asked.
"No, you don't." Su Yueleng walked quickly towards Su Ye. "Yang Qi has already received the news that we have found grain and grass, and he will send troops in these two days!"
"Why are you so sure?" Su Ye asked.
"Yang Qi is an impatient and is best at fighting assault battles." Su Yueleng and Yang Qi were old opponents on the battlefield in their previous lives, and both of them were very clear about each other's paths, and now, this familiarity is her unique advantage.
It's up to Daddy to believe it or not.
"Okay." Su Ye firmly believes in her daughter. "Xu Bang, pass the order, everyone is on alert, the oil barrels and torches on the city wall are ready, and the archers are all in place, ready to fight at any time!"
"Yes! Subordinates will do it! β
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was angry about the traitor, everyone was extremely excited and emotional, coupled with the military supplies and grass brought by Su Yueleng, they had the confidence to break through!
Everyone waited with bated breath.
The dark clouds over the entire flat city were overwhelming, as if a storm was brewing and about to erupt!
It's noon.
With the sound of a horn, the enemy's army phalanx quickly rushed towards the gate of Pingcheng, majestic!
From a distance, the black pressure is overwhelming, and this first wave of people is less than 20,000 people!
"It seems that Lingyun Kingdom's backup is already on the way." Su Yueleng drew a full bow.
Although Yang Qi is impatient, he is by no means reckless, and without backup, he will not use nearly one-half of the people to open the situation at the beginning.
Then she has to fight quickly and fight back against him by surprise!
It is absolutely necessary to crush the enemy's sharp spirit before the Lingyun Kingdom is pressed back!
"Mei Niang, the arrows are all coated with venom?"
"You can rest assured that I will do something." Poison Mei Niang swallowed her saliva as she saw the trebuchet slowly approaching from a distance. "Good apprentice, I'll go down to the medical team first, and you take care not to get hurt!"
"Okay, so are you." Su Yue's cold eyes were like torches. "See you after the war!"
A horn whimper lingered in the basin, and the adrenaline was completely aroused by the sound of the enemy's step-by-step stampede.
Regardless of the soldiers who were ready to go out to meet the soldiers behind the city walls or the city gates, everyone's nerves collapsed.
They have been trapped in Pingcheng for a long time, and today is the time of shame!
"Two hundred steps!"
"One hundred and fifty steps!"
"One hundred steps!"
"Shoot the arrow!!"
The gongs and drums shook the sky, and the arrow feathers swooped down like a big net.
In Lingyun Guo's military camp, Yang Qi stood on a high command platform.
"Heh, it's worthy of Su Ye, he was prepared." Yang Qi looked at the very orderly city wall in front of him to meet the attack, and his eyes were like eagle falcons. "No, he's always ready."
"General, they have been prepared for a long time, so won't our surprise attack miss the opportunity?" The adjutant general hurriedly asked.
Yang Qi snorted coldly. "How about being prepared? Can it be safe? β
"Our Lingyun Country's trebuchet has the longest range, and today is the first time it has been put into the battlefield, which will definitely give Su Ye a big surprise." Yang Qigao drank. "Everyone listen to General Ben, you must take the city wall today!"
"Take Pingcheng and shock me Lingyun!"
"Yes!"
Boom β
Boom Boom β
Soon, Heijo was within range of trebuchets.
A huge sound exploded beside him, and Su Yue gasped coldly.
I didn't expect that the advanced trebuchet that was put into use a year later would be taken out this time? Yang Qi's battle is a bloody investment!
"Good!" Yang Qi laughed. "Look at the strength of our Lingyun Country!"
"Unless you go out of the city to fight, you don't want to win just by cowering in the flat city!"
Yang Qizheng was proud, and suddenly a blue firework exploded in the sky above Pingcheng, which was particularly dazzling even in the daytime.
"Flares?" Yang Qi suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Do they have reinforcements? No way...... There is no Dasheng army within a hundred miles of this radius! β
"General! There are black iron horsemen in the north! β
"What!?"
At the same time, the Dasheng Kingdom court.
The people in the main hall were arguing.
"We can't withdraw our troops, otherwise we only have Qin Pingguan as the last line of defense, if Qinping Pass is not guaranteed, the capital will become a knife and fish, and it will be slaughtered!"
"But now that the defeat in the Battle of Pingcheng is obvious, do you want to sacrifice more soldiers for this?"
"That's right, we should stop the loss in time now, pool the resources, hit at one point, and hold our last line of defense."
Murong Tuohai sat on a high seat, and his fingertips were about to wear out.
After arguing for a morning, it's finally time to see each other.
At present, because the decline of Heicheng is obvious, more and more people are turning to themselves.
Very good!
"Newspaper - Urgent report in the armyββ!!"
"Lingyun Kingdom sent troops to attack Pingcheng!"
Hearing this, the entire hall fell silent.
The officials who opposed the retreat line all had sad faces on their faces.
The last general of Dasheng to take the shot, the only hope in everyone's hearts, is gone......
Murong Tuohai looked at the painful appearance of these people and smiled coldly.
Don't worry, now that Lingyun Kingdom has already sent troops, no one can shake his decision! He could be kind enough to give these people a little more time to be sad.
The more sad they were, the more grateful they were when they heard that the East China Sea Kingdom was willing to send troops to support them in the face of their own face!
When the time comes, it will be the time for all to return to themselves!
"Report - urgent report in the army!!" The flying pigeon spreads the book very quickly, not to mention that there are many eyeliners of the palace near Pingcheng.
Another person rushed into the main hall, his face was very excited. "Lingyun Guo's division was unfavorable, and the first round of attack was repelled by General Su!"
"What!?" Murong Tuohai's eyes widened, and he reacted diametrically opposed to the joyful crowd, attracting a lot of side glances.
It is also said that the third prince has no selfish intentions about the withdrawal of troops? They see that this kid is a personal vendetta!
How can such a chicken-bellied person inherit the unification?
They don't admit it!
"Pingcheng is about to run out of food, and there is a shortage of military resources, and there are many wounded, even if you hold the first wave of the offensive, it will only be a return to the light (a certain idiom cannot be used), and it will not last long." Fantu said immediately. "We know the situation in Pingcheng, and how many soldiers there are are even more understanding, Lingyun Country not only occupies favorable terrain, but also may have reinforcements at any time, Pingcheng can't hold it at all!"
"How can you not hold it? As long as the nearest Liang Pingjun sends troops to support, it is not a problem to regain the dominance of the Pingcheng generation! β
"That's right, with troops, and General Su's excellent strategy, we won't lose!"
Fantu's face turned red. "Where did you get your faith? If it weren't for Su Ye being too conceited and insisting on sticking to his strategy without listening to the orders of the imperial court, how could he have lost battles again and again? How can our capital be in danger? β
As soon as these words came out, the scene finally quieted down.
"I, like everyone else, have been suppressed for too long, even if it is a little chance of winning, I want to win and save some face." The sail map is vibrant. "But war is not a child's play, you can't gamble with the slightest hope, once you lose the bet, it will cost the lives of countless soldiers and our Dasheng territory!"
"Even, the future of our entire Dasheng country!"
"Lord Fantu is right, Liang Pingjun is the largest garrison of the Qinping Pass generation, if they are dispatched, then who will guard the Qinping Pass after that? Who will defend the capital? β
Murong Tuohai gradually breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good, the situation is back in control.
But just as he was about to win, another person rushed in. "Report ββ!!"
Long Wei, who reported the news, was so excited that he was about to cry, took a deep breath, and drank-
"The Ye family's black iron cavalry appeared outside Pingcheng, and now it is united with the inside and outside of Pingcheng to flank the army of Lingyun Kingdom!"
