Chapter 539: Capture Jincheng
I went back that day, had a full meal, and then rested all.
At night, their big crossbows were on line.
The torches on the Jincheng city wall were originally used by the Ye army, but now they have become the dead chess pieces of the Jincheng army.
Ye Jun was in the dark, and they were in the light, so they "rocketed" one by one and hit directly at the city wall.
Surprisingly, something happened, the flames fell up with a "poof", Ye Jun immediately saw that there was a panic above, and all the people who came and went rushed to put out the fire.
Some generals couldn't help it: "Let's attack the city at this time, they are absolutely dead." ”
Zhuang Siyan and Ye Yuanpei didn't move.
They should panic, but it's too abnormal to panic, right?
It was just a small cluster of fire, and it wasn't shot at an important location, in fact, it was easy to extinguish, but why were they so busy?
The two looked at each other, and suddenly said with a clear heart: "The gunpowder is on the city wall." ”
Not really! Their small cannons are all on the city walls, will they put gunpowder on the ground, fire a cannon, and run back and forth?
After knowing this, Ye Yuanpei immediately ordered: "Pick up the flames and shoot them on the city wall." ”
For a moment, arrows flew wildly, and the whole sky lit up like firelight.
Large clusters of flames flew over the city walls at great speed, shooting towards the Jincheng army.
Later, they were also anxious, and they no longer cared about those fire skills, but directly launched an artillery attack on Ye Yuanpei and them.
The momentum was very strong, and a platoon of small cannons "bombed" over, and immediately stopped their rockets.
But soon, they heard a louder noise from the other side, as if the whole sky was about to be torn apart.
The "boom" was followed by a huge fire and a hail of smoke.
The world was quiet at this moment, only the scene of the opposite wall collapsing and the corpses flying sideways appeared in Ye Jun's eyes as if they were separated by a layer of dreams.
Ye Yuanpei looked into the distance and said, "It's a little ruthless, the people in this city don't know how many people will die......"
He didn't finish his sentence, and then there were several more sounds.
The fires burned so fast that after the previous ones exploded, the flames flew everywhere and ignited new ones.
The flames were in the sky, and the explosions were everywhere, and the entire Jincheng was about to be razed to the ground in an instant.
The small cannons that had attacked them never rang out again, and the sky was filled with smoke and fire, followed by countless chaotic sounds.
The sounds continued until it was dark, and then slowly subsided.
Ye Yuanpei waved his hand and shouted at his people: "Siege !! ”
A large group of men and horses came out of the sheltered hills and groves, and ran straight to the gate of the city.
The impregnable Jincheng was moved to Ye Yuanpei's hands overnight.
It's just the tragic situation of the people in the city, which also makes him regret that the part near the city wall has really been razed to the ground, countless houses have collapsed, and countless people have been killed by artillery fire or crushed to death by houses.
There were no survivors at all.
It took a few days to clean up the city defense of Jincheng again.
Zhuang Siyan recruited the city's traditional Chinese medicine hall to try his best to treat those who were still alive.
In short, this vicious battle, although Jincheng was taken down, the losses were also very heavy, and after a long time, Ye Yuanpei was reluctant to speak.
He even regretted using this method a little in the first place, maybe they waited, there would be a better way, why should they be like them, regardless of the lives of the people?
Zhuang Siyan didn't feel as much emotion as him, she finished the things that should be placed, and began to wake up to find the whereabouts of Wen Qing and Mi Yueqing.
These two people have been missing in Jincheng for too long, and no one can say what will happen.
She went to find her informant first, and found that several of the informants were almost dead, all of them had been killed by someone else before she came.
Only Xiaobao is still alive, but when he sees her, he runs away.
Zhuang Siyan grabbed him in a few steps, quickly dragged him to a hidden place, looked into his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?" I didn't reply to any of the letters I sent to you, and I still ran away when I saw them? ”
Xiaobao was a little trembling, his eyes didn't dare to look at her, and he kept looking around.
Zhuang Siyan didn't know what he was looking at, and thought he was afraid of the Jincheng Army, so he comforted him and said: "You don't have to be afraid, Jincheng is now in our hands, you just have to say anything." ”
Xiaobao suppressed her voice and asked her, "Have you caught Brother Kun and Hou Ba?" ”
Zhuang Siyan was stunned for a moment.
She was stunned, Xiaobao turned around and ran.
He is very clever, he comes out of nowhere, and when he twists his body, he doesn't know where to flee.
Zhuang Siyan didn't chase him anymore, but savored the meaning of his words.
Qiu Kun and Hou Ba, after she came, she had already heard what Ye Yuanpei said, and she didn't think these two people were powerful at that time, but she just felt that they had an advantage in Jincheng.
But after they attacked the city, they really didn't find the two of them, but many soldiers from the General's Mansion died under Ye Yuanpei's men, and then those poisonous insects and poisonous snakes.
So where did these two go?
Jincheng is so big, they have already searched for it in a carpet way, can these two people still grow wings and fly away from the city.
Thinking about it, he pulled his energy back to the dock.
Thinking about it, there is only one exit to escape from Jincheng, but where will they go?
She brought Ye Yuanpei over, spread out the map and discussed with him, how to find Wen Qing and the others, as well as these people who escaped.
According to Ye Yuanpei's analysis, they must be on an island near Jincheng, and they have to sail down to the sea and slowly find them.
Zhuang Siyan shook his head and said: "In the past, in order to find Anritsu, how much time was spent at sea, but the judgment was wrong, and the person was not in the water, but in the mountains.
Now you say that you are at sea, I don't dare to believe you. ”
Ye Yuanpei looked at her a little depressed: "You don't believe me, why do you still come to ask me?" ”
Zhuang Siyan looked left and right: "There's no one here, it's just you, I can only make do, oh yes, what about Li Hua?" ”
Ye Yuanpei was even more angry: "That's your sister-in-law, don't be big or small." ”
Zhuang Siyan looked at him and smiled: "I'm not big or small, Ye Yuanpei, I think you came to Jincheng and your brain was in the water, right?" Have you forgotten that she is Ling Xuan's sister? She's my husband's sister, so you should call me sister-in-law. ”
Saying this, Ye Yuanpei's whole person was not good, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he pushed her away and said, "I don't really want to talk to you, I want to be quiet." ”
It just so happened that Li Hua came in from outside with a plate of fruits, and when she saw this scene, she pulled Ye Yuanpei and said in a low voice: "How did you talk to Niangniang?" ”
Ye Yuanpei also gritted his teeth and whispered: "Niangniang? She's still a grandmother, let me tell you about your daughter-in-law, don't follow her to learn badly. ”
Li Hua looked at him inexplicably, and seemed to understand this semi-modern sentence.
It was Zhuang Siyan, who gently clasped the table with his hand, thinking about the two people who showed affection at the door.
Li Hua came, but Ye Yuanpei didn't make it.
He was probably really afraid that his daughter-in-law would follow Zhuang Siyan to learn badly, so he wanted to stay and watch them, and from time to time he picked up a fruit brought by his daughter-in-law in his hand, and while sending it to his mouth, he listened to the two women talking.
Li Hua is very familiar with Zhuang Siyan in her heart, after all, when she rarely saw Ye Yuanpei, she saw Zhuang Siyan deductively.
But in fact, the two don't talk much, and they rarely have a common language, and when they chat and talk at this time, they are all polite on the surface, and it is difficult to talk about serious things.
Zhuang Siyan didn't know what to think, she wanted to put it aside, this kind of chat mode, she ended early in the morning and left.
She has always been a person who doesn't say what she can't say, and she doesn't bother to deal with others at all except for her own special purposes.
But today they are as stable as Mount Tai, sitting side by side with Li Hua, and there is a sentence that talks about their life after coming to Jincheng.
Ye Yuanpei had roughly said these things before.
Of course, he wasn't talking about their lives, but about the situation in Jincheng, but how they lived was also included in those words.
But what Li Hua said was different from him.
A woman has a woman's perspective and a view of things, obviously a very thrilling thing, she can forget the thrill, and only say how witty Ye Yuanpei was, if he saved himself bravely.
Ye Yuanpei was blushed by her several times, and she couldn't believe it, was she really so brave at that time? Obviously, the daughter-in-law is a little more powerful.
He was a little embarrassed to listen to the boast so much, and finally grabbed a handful of fruit from the plate and walked out, leaving the two women to chatter.
As soon as he went out, Zhuang Siyan's topic changed, and she spoke: "Sister-in-law, you and my brother have been to the General's Mansion, do you have any new discoveries?" ”
Li Hua said frankly: "Not to mention anything else, there are indeed some organs inside, and the defense is also very strict, we really almost died inside, the two were locked up there for several days, and finally reluctantly came out with the help of people outside." ”
Zhuang Siyan nodded: "Yes, I also suspect that there is a mechanism in it." ”
Li Hua looked at her face and said, "Now that the General's Mansion is in our hands, if you really have any doubts, just go in and take a look." ”
"Well, it's for sure, I just want to find out what was going on there.
Let me tell you this, we have also been in before, that is, before the subjugation of Anli, at that time, I came to Jincheng with the emperor, and for some things, we quietly went to the general's mansion once.
At that time, it felt like it was quite complicated, and many things were very finely made.
It's the kind of thing where you know there's a problem, but it's hard to find out what the problem is.
Later, Anli was defeated, and my brother Ye Yuanpei and I also went in, but suddenly found that the problems we found in the past didn't seem to exist.
The General's Mansion has been changed without us knowing. ”
Li Hua is still well-informed, especially since she used to run on the rivers and lakes, and when she heard this, she had already guessed what Zhuang Siyan was going to say: "Do you suspect that there is a problem in the General's Mansion?" ”
"Yes, I suspect there is a problem."
Li Hua looked at her and didn't speak for a while.
Zhuang Siyan's eyes looked at the map on the table, but his mind was actually elsewhere.
It's not that there is a suspicion that there is a problem, but that there must be a problem.
When Wen Qing came to Jincheng, there was nothing here, at least on the surface, it seemed very peaceful.
He also lived in the General's Mansion later, with Wen Qing's ability and resourcefulness, if someone wanted to attack him, it was not easy, let alone this kind of silent attack.
Everyone else is missing, and there is no news from the outside world, which means that when he was taken away, there was not even a fight.
This man must be a master, and by surprise, he is hiding in the shadows that he didn't expect.
