Chapter 242: Begin the siege

Not long after, Zhao Yanshou, who was left behind in Xijin Mansion, ran to the head of the city, and said with a worried face: "Dashuai, there have been heavy losses in the city of Xijin Mansion, dozens of shops and houses have been destroyed, and hundreds of people have been killed and injured. ”

Yelu Qicai's face was full of frost, and he said to Zhao Yanshou: "You are the left-behind guard of Xijin Mansion, you are responsible for these things, now that the military granary has been burned down, you must raise 100,000 stone of grain before tomorrow evening." ”

When Zhao Yanshou heard this, he was shocked and said: "Dashuai, there is chaos in the city, how can I raise 100,000 stone of grain in such a short time." ”

Yelu Qicai said angrily: "This is your business, the old man only needs food, if the soldiers have no food, I only ask you." ”

Zhao Yanshou originally came to ask for help, but he received such a difficult task, so he could only go back in frustration and return to the left-behind mansion, and the first order he gave was not to help the affected people, but to do everything possible to raise food.

The doors of those big grain merchants were smashed open, and if they cooperated, those soldiers would directly move grain, and if they dared to say a word, they would kill people directly.

The people in the city heard that the government was collecting grain, and they were even more panicked, food is life, which is not comparable to a few explosive packs, and rumors spread throughout Xijin Mansion, saying that the Zhao army is powerful, Yelu Qicai is going to be defeated, and the city gate is going to be broken by the Zhao army, etc.

Before, many people thought that the Zhao army was not a threat to Xijin Mansion, and the Liao army could destroy them with a few attacks, but now it seems that this is not the case, and everyone is afraid.

Many people packed their bags overnight, brought valuable things, and wanted to escape from the city with their families, but how dare Zhao Yanshou let these people out of the city.

In this way, the whole city spent a long night in chaos and panic.

The East has been brightened,

A new day has arrived.

Qin Guan stretched his waist, got out of the thick tiger skin quilt, put on his clothes and walked out of the big tent, outside the camp, the soldiers had already gotten up, set up the marching pot and were cooking on the fire.

The guards who were in charge of standing guard outside the big tent saw Qin Guan come out, and quickly stood up straight and saluted: "I've seen the big handsome." ”

"General Han has gotten up." Qin Guan asked.

"Report to the marshal, General Han has gotten up and is inspecting the barracks." The guards naturally knew who General Han was in the mouth of the marshal, and immediately replied.

"Tell her to come back, I want to see her."

"Yes, Marshal."

After Qin Guan finished speaking, he went back to the warm tent, it was too cold outside.

Not long after, Han Yuqing came back, full of heroism in armor, and after seeing Qin Guan, he asked, "Xianggong has something to call me." ”

Qin Guan sat on the brocade pier, a little too lazy to say: "Comb my hair and wear armor, I can't do it myself." ”

Han Yuqing glanced at him, walked behind Qin Guan, took out a wooden comb from his arms, and began to comb Qin Guan's hair carefully.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Han Yuqing asked casually.

"Not good." Qin Guan Dao.

Han Yuqing was stunned, "What, are you worried about the battle situation?" ”

Qin Guan shook his head, "No, it's because it's too cold at night, and there is no one to warm the bed, so I can't sleep well." ”

Qin Guan teased Han Yuqing.

When I came back last night, Han Yuqing removed Qin Guan's armor, Qin Guan hugged Han Yuqing and asked her to stay with her, Han Yuqing didn't follow, saying that his father had just died and he had to keep filial piety for three years.

Qin Guan wilted at that time.

Han Yuqing heard Qin Guan say this, his hand combing his hair paused, and then slowly combed it again, and said: "I know that Xianggong is suffering, but this is a etiquette that cannot be violated, Xianggong is now a county prince, and he should also accept a few more concubines, so as to inherit the Han family, Yuqing is not a jealous person, and when she marries Xianggong in the future, she will take care of the affairs of the backyard and will not let Xianggong worry about it." ”

Qin Guan turned his head, looked at Han Yuqing, whose face was calm, and sighed in his heart, this is the gap between ancient and modern.

Then sit down honestly, no longer teasing Han Yuqing, combing her hair honestly, Han Yuqing helped Qin Guan put on the overlord armor, and Qin Guan strode out of the camp.

Gathering the generals, Qin Guan said: "Last night's battle, if you want to come to the city of Xijin Mansion, it will definitely be very chaotic, and the people are panicking, this is a good time for us to attack." ”

Immediately ordered: "After eating, the attack will start at the time, and we must take Xijin Mansion today." ”

"Yes, Marshal."

The generals should be.

After a full meal, it was already at nine o'clock in the morning, and with Qin Guan's order, the Northern Route Army blew the horn of attack.

The five rushing cars snorted and pushed towards Xijin Mansion, and at this time, Yelu Qicai was also ready to fight, and all the Liao soldiers and soldiers boarded the city to defend against the Zhao army's siege.

Seeing the five rushing cars pushed over, Yelu Qicai was stunned, he didn't know what Zhao Jun was doing, but he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately issued an order to destroy these guys.

When they were 200 meters close to the city wall, the Liao army began to shoot arrows, and the arrows rained down, but fortunately these rushing cars had a strong defense, and the soldiers hiding inside were not harmed.

In a short time, one rushing car reached the city gate, and the other four cars also reached the city wall.

"Brothers, hurry up and unload the goods."

"Hand it over, hurry up and pass it over."

Now all the rushing soldiers know that they are not transporting stones, but gunpowder, this thing costs human life, if it is ignited, their fate will be very miserable, there are absolutely no bones, look at last night's dynamite bag siege, this is an absolute big killer.

The general defending the city of Xijin Mansion stood at the head of the city and ordered loudly:

"Zoom in on the rocks, roll the wood, smash them."

"Pour out the oil and burn them to death."

Thundered.

Huge logs were thrown down and smashed onto the roof of the rushing car, which shook for a while.

Pots of oil were poured down, pouring all the lime on the cart, and a cart was smashed into a hole in the top by a stone weighing a ton of stones, and the oil was left along the hole, igniting the entire cart.

Immediately, I heard a loud bang, and the gunpowder in the rushing car was ignited and exploded, and the entire rushing car instantly disappeared.

The huge explosion shook the city.

When Jeroqi saw all this, he was shocked and shouted, "They are going to blow up the city walls, stop them quickly." ”

"Boom!"

Another rushing car was ignited and exploded, and dozens of Zhao soldiers disappeared in an instant.

In the team, Qin watched all this, he knew that war was so cruel, dead people were inevitable, his method of warfare was already to ensure the safety of soldiers to the greatest extent, if it was an ordinary method of warfare, ordering soldiers to attack the city, that was the real tragedy, grinding meat mill.

"Put it away, brothers hurry up."

"Push with your life."

"Run 200 meters, and we'll be alive."

In the distance, several eight-bull crossbows have been pushed out, rockets already hung on them, ready to be launched at any time.
