Chapter 124: Siege and Siege

With a war imminent, a fire in grain and grass will not only shake the morale of the upper and lower troops, but also demoralize one's own side.

The patrol guards hurriedly rushed from the place where the water was fetched to put out the fire.

Wen Yunxiang heard such a big movement outside the tent, so he quickly got up, put on his boots, took his cloak and walked outside.

When the curtain was lifted, the direction of grain and grass was blazing.

The hand holding the curtain tent clenched fiercely, and the fingertips were pressed white, so soon he started it, so don't blame him for not thinking about father and son.

The fire was enough to save the fire until dawn, the food and grass had already been burned out, and the soldiers were already exhausted from the night's firefighting.

Wen Yunxiang asked the generals to reorganize their troops and horses early in the morning and prepare to attack the city. Three days? He was afraid that it would be impossible for his father to prepare for another three days and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

The generals hesitated, and even they were a little discouraged when the grain and grass were burned

"Your Highness... The soldiers below have worked hard all night, or let them slow down. ”

Wen Yunxiang's expression became a little angry, and he glared at the general who spoke

"If we wait for reinforcements to arrive, not only the soldiers below, but also you will be buried with me."

The general was closed, and after listening to Wen Yunxiang's words, he shrunk his neck again, and went down to gather troops and horses in a huff.

The soldiers below also dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and the state of Wen Yunxiang's soldiers and horses today was not the same as yesterday's.

Seeing that early in the morning, Wen Yunxiang gathered the soldiers and horses, and the action was very large, so that the soldiers and horses of Guoyuan, who had been quietly ambushed in the woods on both sides of the city gate, received the news.

They didn't dare to camp for fear that Wen Yunxiang would notice it, but all the troops were bent over and watched in the depths of the woods.

Since Wen Yunxiang got the news at this time that the soldiers and horses were still on the way back, he greatly relaxed his vigilance against the things around him.

They also learned about Wen Yunxiang's three-day appointment with the emperor yesterday, and the fire at night inexplicably disrupted all the plans, this fire seemed to be someone sabotaging Wen Yunxiang's usurpation, and it was also like watching a play, watching Wen Yunxiang and Wen Mingshi's good show.

Unexpectedly, early this morning, Wen Yunxiang gathered the soldiers and horses in the camp without concealment, looking menacing, as if he couldn't wait.

After all, if the grain and grass are burned, if they can still sink their breath, then it can't be said.

Thrush saw that Wen Yunxiang had gathered his troops and horses so early, and was worried that Wen Yunxiang would forget the agreement with the prime minister because of last night's grain and grass incident.

"Your Highness.... At noon...."

Thrush whispered cautiously from the side.

Wen Yunxiang's face did not change, and he looked at the direction in which the soldiers and horses were assembled, "I naturally know." ”

Thrush subconsciously realized that she was too worried, and quickly silenced herself.

The latest fire burned the grain and grass, and the sentry on the imperial city happened to see the firelight, so he hurriedly reported the matter to Lin Tang.

Lin Tang also didn't close his eyes on the city wall all night, watching the movements of Wen Yunxiang's army.

Early in the morning, I saw Wen Yunxiang coming to the imperial city with the assembled soldiers and horses, and hurriedly ordered all the soldiers and horses to be urgently ready for battle.

Wen Yunxiang stood on his horse, and he could not negotiate with the forest hall in the city.

Today's Lin Tang was not greedy for life and afraid of death and did not dare to go out of the city, but was worried that Wen Yunxiang would have a backhand, so he sent someone to summon the emperor in the palace in advance.

Lin Tang first said with kind words

"Wen Yunxiang, why did the three-day period I said yesterday suddenly change like this."

Wen Yunxiang snorted coldly

"Don't think that you want to break up the morale of our army by using these indiscriminate tricks." I don't know who did last night's burning of grain and grass, Wen Yunxiang simply counted it on their heads.

"You erector, you dare to spew blood before breaking the contract."

Lin Tang almost pointed at Wen Yunxiang's nose and scolded.

Wen Yunxiang heard Lin Tang insulting himself like this, and he was angry, thinking that his identity Lin Tang would be able to do this to the nine clans.

Thinking of this, Wen Yunxiang fiercely took the reins of the horse, the horse retracted in pain, and Wen Yunxiang regained his senses.

He must not be carried away by anger, he must wait for noon to come, and enter the imperial city, when all the people should worship him as emperor.

Those who once looked down on her, those who once thought she was cowardly, will all be trampled under her feet.

Wen Yunxiang did not reply to the words of the guards guarding the city, but looked up at the sky, watching the trajectory of the sun step by step reach the time period he expected.

As soon as noon, Wen Yunxiang ordered the siege of the city, and the sharpened logs that had been prepared were smashed to the city gate by everyone, and it was obvious that the chains hanging on the city gate trembled violently, shaking off a little dust.

Some of the soldiers and horses set up ladders above the city wall and prepared to climb up.

The rest sent a group of archers to shoot their swords at the gates, making it difficult for them to attack the soldiers who climbed upwards.

At this time, the city wall also kept throwing boulders downward, shooting arrows downward, and pouring the entire ladder with fire oil.

For a while, the soldiers rushed forward one after another, falling more and more corpses from the city walls, and when the corpses on the city walls fell, a new wave of soldiers made up for them.

"It's going to war, it's going to warβ€”"

When the sharp arrow came out of the sheath with a "bang", the people in the city rushed around, carrying their own burdens and running around.

I don't know who shouted this, everyone's mood became particularly panicked, and at this time, a group of people dressed like ruffians came out from the corner of the street.

With some swords and clubs in his hands, he randomly grabbed the people in the street and robbed them of their money, and if he saw someone opening some small shops on the side of the street, it must be a group of people who went up to the streets.

For a time, there was a commotion in the city, and there was also a commotion outside the city.

Someone hurriedly went to inform Lin Tang, and Lin Tang was shocked, "What?!" ”

At this time, the troubles for no reason must have been instigated by someone, and their own men and horses were only half of the opposite, and it was already very difficult to defend the city, but they did not expect that at this time, they could not send troops to support.

The person who was sent to inform Lin Tang was also full of anxiety, and Lin Tang was even more in a dilemma, and his brows were deeply squeezed out of a few folds.

At this moment, two pairs of soldiers and horses were killed on both sides of the city like fierce tigers.

They had been nesting in the depths of the jungle for days, just to stretch their legs at this time.

Lin Tang hurriedly ran to the city wall to take a look, this was led by the emperor's reinforcements, and he rushed back from the border pass.

Suddenly, the stone in his heart seemed to fall to the ground, and the distant reinforcements were like a piece of driftwood in the deep sea to him, allowing him to see the light of hope.

"Let's go to the city and deal with these black sheep."

At the time of the country's crisis, he only thinks about making a fortune for himself and does not care whether the people live or die, and it is his turn to educate those who have different hatreds and hatreds.
