Chapter 67: The Siege of Weed
The wind in Shacheng at night, bleak, dry, but strong, is very different from Yecheng, even if the north wind is strong, it can't blow the long street at the foot of Yanjing.
She is a little uncomfortable here, and she can't help but miss the wind in Yecheng, the starry sky in Yecheng, and the eldest brother and Yang Xue in Yecheng.
Everything here in Shacheng was strange to her, except for Murong Ling, she didn't know anyone, and the only man she could rely on was holding a spear and was going to attack the heavy cities along the road to her hometown.
She panicked suddenly!
At this time, she suddenly realized that her original impulse to fight with him at the end of the world was inexplicably shaken.
Once she thought that she was walking a path worthy of her heart, because love and affection are always great and pure things in this world, she didn't think about right and wrong, and walked forward with her head covered.
Until today, she met Murong Chong, and the young man asked her in words and hearts, what is the family and country, and what is right and wrong?
Her eldest brother is still fighting bloody battles on the battlefield against Qin, but she wants to take advantage of the fire to rob when Dayan is worried about internal and external troubles, the man she wants to follow, the path she wants to choose, can she really be worthy of her heart regardless of right or wrong?
She didn't know.
She heard a few soft knocks suddenly outside the door, and the familiar sound disrupted her thoughts again.
"Ling'er."
"Did you sleep?"
It was late at night, and he wasn't sure if she was asleep, but his instincts told him she wasn't.
He had just finished preparing for the attack on Ved City, and he rushed to her, and although he could not change his plan for her to attack the city, he still wanted to meet her and have a few words with her.
His helplessness, his last resort, he hoped that she could understand.
No one knows the Queen Mother's murderous intentions better than him, the tragic death of the mother concubine is vivid, and he can still be ruthless to a weak woman, he is the eldest son of his father, how can he escape the poisonous hands of the royal family?
If he does not have an army, if he does not occupy the city and stand on his own, then soon, he will be the one who is in a different place.
He didn't want to take advantage of the fire, he just wanted to find a place for their family to live.
As soon as she heard his voice, she couldn't help but get up, but she hesitated through the door.
"I know you didn't sleep, listen to me."
His helpless tone made her feel a pain in her heart.
He is a natural emperor and general, he has the ability and the right to make his own choices and go his own way, there is no need to explain to her a woman, but he still came, and her heart couldn't help but soften a little.
She knocked lightly on the door, in response.
Hearing her promise, his frowning brows finally stretched slightly.
"Ling'er, you know, I was forced to raise troops because I was helpless. If I don't fight, they will fight me. The court won't let me go, you know, right? ”
Yes, he was right, before the Wu Wang family left, they didn't make any mistakes at all, only meritorious service, and the Queen Mother wanted to do everything possible to put them to death, and she didn't hesitate to let her plant the blame, such a heavy murderous intent, how could it be easy to stop?
Murong Ling's family has now committed such a big crime as fornicating with the Qin State, even if they are only degraded and not killed due to the pressure of hundreds of officials in the court now, who can know what will happen in the future? In this deserted place, what is a life?
"Isn't Sand City enough? Why attack other cities? ”
"How can Sand City be defended? I don't want to take advantage of the war in Dayan to attack the city again and again, I just need a strong city, a strong city that can stand on its own and defend itself. ”
"Is it Dragon City?"
He passed through the door, but still nodded, "The attack on Weide is all for Dragon City." ”
She paused, but still asked the doubts in her heart.
"Shizi, I want to ask you, if you really capture Longcheng, one of the best fortified cities in the Central Plains, the throat of Kyushu, you can attack, you can retreat, you can defend it, and you can chase the world at your feet, looking at the great rivers and mountains, can you easily stop Longcheng?"
Murong Ling was stunned for a moment, he didn't think that she would suddenly ask such a question.
Because of this answer, he may not even know it.
"I ......"
"Don't rush to answer me, wait until you think clearly, and then tell me."
She leaned against the door and let out a long, long sigh.
Murong Ling, you won't, right?
You are the pride of the sky, as long as you want to, there is nothing you can't do, when you have a strong city, there are soldiers and horses to follow, look at the world, and become an emperor and hegemony, you are still excited, right?
****
Three days later, Murong ordered the whole army to command the generals and officially attack Weide City.
Song Ling didn't go and chose to stay in Shacheng, she was afraid that what she would see was not his success, but the tragic death of her compatriots.
Murong Ling led the army to attack from the east, Murong Cang personally went to the city tower and commanded the battle, and the Shacheng army encountered stubborn resistance.
Most of the soldiers under Murong Ling's command were enslaved and degraded city soldiers, with no military training, no scale, let alone lethality, to be precise, just a rabble.
It's just that the boss Murong Ling is brave, chasing clouds and riding first, breaking the moon and the heavenly halberd on the side, wearing armor, he should be invincible, he came out of the rain of arrows and rushed straight to the city.
The Shacheng army was greatly encouraged, and the cavalry broke through and followed Murong Ling to the city gate.
The door was not opened; Strike again, shake it; Triple blow, the door has been exposed.
The Shacheng army was overjoyed, their morale was high, and they were brave on foot, and thousands of soldiers poured into the city.
When the Yan army saw that the city gate had been opened, they knew that the general trend had gone, and they had no intention of fighting at all, and hundreds of soldiers under the eastern city had surrendered.
Murong Cang panicked, saw that the city was broken, but did not retreat, and immediately led more than ten henchmen and soldiers, and personally went down to the city to resist desperately.
Where Murong Ling was fighting, he wanted to surrender, but seeing that Murong Cang was covered in iron bones, he would rather die than surrender, and Murong Ling had no choice but to kill him with a halberd.
At the end of the twilight, the lord general was dead, and the soldiers guarding the east and west city gates heard the prestige of the prince of Wu, and they all surrendered to him.
Murong ordered the deployment of the city, and the surrender of troops was favorable, and the city of Weide was decided.
The horn sounded, and Song Ling stood on top of the tall buildings in Shacheng, and could imagine his heroic appearance when he was victorious.
Shenzhou Lu Shen, she didn't know where to go, and she didn't know if she was sad for Murong Lingxi or Da Yan at this time?
Murong Ling looked at the west from afar, Dragon City was close at hand, and he was only one step away!
Song Ling, do you know that I have always been a hidden danger in the eyes of the imperial court, if I don't send soldiers, the imperial court will get rid of me sooner or later, just like when they murdered my mother.
If you don't improve yourself, how can you be self-controlled?
But that night, when she asked, he was speechless.
He sighed deeply, he didn't know, what would he do after having Dragon City?
In the world, in the world, there is a man who is not fascinated or moved, he is afraid that he is not exempt from vulgarity!
Sand City, Weide City, has been exhausted in his pocket, and it didn't take much effort. He knew that with his three words "Murong Ling", he could make the Quartet frightened, and the soldiers from all directions would abandon their armor and follow!
