Chapter 173
readx;?“ Kill!!"
In the northerly direction of Wangjian City, about 15 kilometers away, the Korean army at the head of the city was stubbornly resisting the Qin army that was constantly climbing the city by various means, or the Korean troops wearing leather armor were fighting. Writing, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info novels
Outside this small city, there were 20 arrow tower carts and 8 castle climbing cars, a large number of ladders, and bed crossbows that were carried to a distance of 150 meters from the city wall, killing the North Korean defenders of the north or west city wall in various ways.
Many troops who ascended the city were often kicked down by the Korean troops on the city wall in a melee and fell to the ground humming and screaming......
At this height, it is indeed a bit difficult to directly fall people to death, and many officers and soldiers who were kicked off the city wall either climbed the ladder again after resting for a while, or had to wait for rescue because their injuries were a little serious.
And the Korean army of Minzi who fell to the ground did not have such good luck, and the nearest ladder soldier did not rush to climb the ladder and prepare to enter the city after seeing these enemies fall down, but the officer called the officers and soldiers under his command and directly rushed up and cut the enemy directly into meat sauce.
In the battle on the city wall, there were no arrows flying around in the sky above the area that entered the melee, because the crossbowmen below the city wall knew very well that once they carried out support shooting in this kind of melee, they would accidentally injure more of their own people.
"The gates were slammed open!!"
A rushing car responsible for attacking the west gate of the city smashed open the west gate that was not blocked, and the heavy infantry of the Qin army next to the car used their shields to open the city gate that slowly opened to both sides, and saw the defenders who reacted, and also charged back at them.
In the case of too large a difference in equipment, the weapons and armor were quite poor The Korean army of Jizi was quickly dispersed by the Qin army troops who formed a shield formation and slowly advanced.
And behind these Qin heavy infantry who broke through the city gates, more and more troops gathered together, ready to rush into the city.
In this battle, at this time, for the Mizi Korean garrison, which had completely lost the initiative, their complete defeat was only a matter of time......
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
After the planned general assault on Wang Jiancheng was officially launched, under the intermittent offensive of nearly 20 days, a large number of cities, villages and towns, or Wubao and other areas in the area around Wang Jiancheng fell one after another under the coordinated operation of more or less Qin troops and corresponding Korean troops.
Soon, the first stage of Li Zuoche's original battle plan against Wang Jiancheng will end with a rather perfect battle situation exhibition.
At the same time, Han Xin and Du Cong's southern Qin army troops, which were unexpected by Li Zuoche, also launched a fierce offensive against some small cities, and many cities belonging to the middle and high-level nobles of Jizi Joseon or some small clans fell one after another.
However, Li Zuoche had to guard against several cities held by the great clans of the Minzi Joseon clan that still had considerable strength, for example, for some reasons, Li Zuoche had to be on guard.
Out of this consideration, Li Zuoche gave an order to Han Xin and others, which still required them to focus on guarding against the enemy rather than mobilizing troops to support them, and concentrate on storming Wang Jiancheng.
Perhaps, such considerations are also groundless, but after Zhang Jiashi heard Li Zuoche's worries, he had nothing to do. After all, even Li Zuoche is more inclined to this cautious way of fighting, which also shows that Li Zuoche knows very well that once there is a situation that Li Zuoche is worried about, he can effectively rely on Han Xin and Du Cong to delay the time for the enemy to rescue Wang Jiancheng.
Once things really deteriorate, their battle plan against Wang Jiancheng this time failed, and no matter how bad it was, they would be able to make a certain remnant of the troops retreat.
Zhang Jiashi and Li Zuoche did not expect that the high-level North Korean leaders in the city of Jizi, who were gradually encircled, would have the courage to have a field battle with his troops.
......
The unfavorable battle situation fed back from the front made the monarchs and ministers of Jizi Korea naturally numb. Some ministers also planned to take a counteroffensive posture for their relatives or their own lost homeland, hoping to say that they could move Jizhun or the patriarchs of some big clans to take a counteroffensive posture and drive the Qin army out.
Of course, not all big clans are moths, just like Wen Xu, the head of the Wen family, who is said to be a descendant of Wen Zhong, is a fairly rational Jizi Korean general.
Wen Xu, who had always followed the example of his ancestors and acted skillfully and well, of course he had heard of the evil deeds of other clans in these days.
After the clans that could only remotely restrain their own cities from doing such things, Wen Xu could only turn a blind eye to the evil deeds of other clans. Of course, he knew that now Jizi Joseon could only trap and defend the fortified cities including Wang Jiancheng, which was more the result of those clans or powerful landlords taking the blame for themselves.
He was powerless to change this kind of thing, and likewise powerless to change the situation of the war, which was more and more unfavorable to Miko Korea.
After hearing this request put forward by the middle-level officials of those small clans or powerful landlords at the palace meeting, Wen Xu, who was watching coldly, did not refute it.
He couldn't help but put his eyes on Li Piao, the master of the Xuanyao Gate, who was wearing plain linen clothes and standing out among the ministers and martial arts in the palace.
For this person, Wen Xu can't say that he has any feelings. But the other party was able to become the master of the Xuanniao Gate at the age of less than thirty at the time, and Wen Xu naturally admired the other party's martial arts attainments. However, judging from the Xuanniao Gate, which has now been divided, the other party is just a person who is not worthy of the name.
At the very least, the other party's Xuanniao Gate is now in a state of division, and the other party's way of dealing with the world is difficult to shirk responsibility.
As for why this person appeared in this place, I am afraid that although there is no great evil, there is no merit to praise the Korean king Ji Joon, who has already been moved by some people.
Among some Xuanniaomen people who were still loyal to Li Piao, they got the news that Zhang Jiashi, the left general of the Qin people, seemed to have arrived at the front line.
If the other party succeeds in assassinating them, then such a war will naturally end.
However, Wen Xu doesn't think so. What the strength of the other party is, regardless of it, Zhang Jiashi, who can become a senior officer of the Qin Army at the age of a weak crown, may not be an ordinary person. Moreover, if the other party does not have one or two masters with outstanding strength, it is naturally impossible.
In this operation, there are too many uncertainties just in the assassination arrangement, and how to lay out it is also a problem. Now than in the past, after those rebellious Xuanniao Sect elders and a large number of Xuanniao Sect disciples were hired by the other party, it was difficult to guarantee whether these Xuanniao Sect people would become an obstacle to this action plan. It can be seen that it is very difficult for them to do these things at all.
And if we take 10,000 steps back, what can we do if we really let Li Piao succeed? I'm afraid, what awaits Ji Zhun is an even more terrible result.
Although there are rumors that this invasion of the Qin army was more of a self-assertion of the young general. But what can this be? From the early battles, we can see that this army is not comparable to the Yan army of Qin Kaisuo, who seized Liaodong County from the hands of their Jizi Joseon.
Wen Xu, who is quite proficient in commanding troops to fight, is naturally very aware of this situation.
If these unruly methods are really used, whether they succeed or not, I am afraid that the result of the Minzi Korea will be a catastrophe.
Wen Xu was quietly in the military attache line, watching this palace meeting, he couldn't help but think of a somewhat special guest last night......
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
Wen Xu also has his own mansion in Wang Jiancheng, and last night, after he came home from his duty post, he met an unexpected person.
Even other big clans that are quite close to the Wen family, few people will know that one of his nephews, who is the eldest disciple of the current master of the Xuanniao Gate, is also one of the main promoters of the split of the Xuanniao Sect this time.
Wenle, who was coincidentally accepted as a big disciple by Li Piao because of the early death of his parents, suddenly walked out from behind a pillar in his study. He was about to shout loudly to protect him, and after seeing the jade pendant that his brother passed to his nephew, Wen Xu directly suppressed his shout that he was about to go out.
Wen Xu, who came back to his senses after a long while, looked at his nephew with a puzzled expression: "What are you doing here?" I heard some people say that you have betrayed your master and thrown yourself into the command of the Qin people. You dare to come here, don't you want to die?"
Although he hasn't seen his nephew for many years, this doesn't mean that Wen Xu doesn't have the slightest emotion for his nephew.
And after Wen Le heard this, his eyes showed a trace of complicated feelings, after all, what the other party said was very reasonable, and he could also see the other party's disdain and care from his uncle's eyes.
After taking a deep breath, Wen Le took out a letter from his bosom and said to his uncle in the language of his family's region: "This is a letter from General Zuo to his uncle. The other party wants you to do the right thing at the right time. ”
Wen Xu naturally knew very well what his nephew meant by this sentence.
He didn't open the envelope immediately, but said directly, "Do you want to disgrace our ancestors?"
The ancestor Wen Xu said was naturally Wen Zhong, the prince of Shang Xin, who he didn't know if it was true or not.
Hearing his uncle's inquiry, a flash of shame flashed in Wenle's eyes, but he still said, "Uncle, let's read General Zuo's letter first." ”
Wen Xu heard Wen Le's words, snorted softly, and then opened the envelope.
The letter written by Zhang Jiashi to Wen Xu was quite brief, and there was no nonsense like a good bird choosing a tree to perch on, but an arrangement similar to that he would become the highest-level governor in the central region of Korea in the future.
To be honest, although Wen Xu is not very obsessed with fame and fortune, this condition makes him have to be tempted.
Of course, he also saw Zhang Jiashi's arrangement, and it also showed more that the military power in his hands would be confiscated. Wen Xu is not at all surprised by this, after all, to achieve this status, according to his relatively one-sided understanding of the system of the Great Qin Empire, it is also a relatively normal thing.
This piece should be called paper, and before the start of the war, there was something that was circulated in the caravan exchanges, and also among the high-level people in the Korean region, Wen Xu naturally saw it.
He didn't reply to Wen Le, his nephew, who has now become a lobbyist who has become a member of the Qin people, but after lighting this thing in the flame of the oil lamp, he slowly said a sentence: "Let me think about it carefully, I will wronged you in the past two days, and I will be here for a while." ”
Although Wen Xu did not give Wen Le an answer, from Wen Xu's arrangement, Wen Le naturally knew very well that his uncle was tempted by the conditions of his boss, that is, General Zuo of the Great Qin Empire, the young man named Zhang Jiashi.
This result is not a bad thing for him.
......
Wen Xu, who returned to his mansion again and entered the study, slowly lit the oil lamp. After watching his nephew slowly come out from behind a pillar, he said, "Bring a message to General Zuo, that is...... Your master and the other two elders of the Xuanniao Sect are afraid that they will take some unruly ways to stop him. ”
"Hmm. After hearing this, Wen Le's eyes flashed a trace of gloom, after all, although he couldn't get used to his master's extreme governance of the Xuanniao Sect, this was also one of the reasons why he broke away from the master and threw himself into the sect of several betrayed elders.
For Wenle, who continues to be angry with this still decaying country and sees too many things that make him angry, but is powerless to change it, his master insists on going his own way and continues to serve Jizi Joseon, which is also a reason why he has to change his actions.
He had seen with his own eyes that a child was killed by a powerful man who was riding a horse in the country, and his parents not only did not receive justice, but were even killed by the local official who had been bribed.
How unfair is the way of heaven?
But seeing more and more of these things is the most important reason why he wants to change.
He didn't become insensitive, he didn't act rashly, because he knew very well that even if he killed all these people, it would be useless, because the country had become fundamentally and completely rotten.
He knew that the only way to change all this was to have a better person in power replace the decaying country.
There are not many people, even the few brothers and sisters who are closest to him in the Xuanniao Sect don't know, he spent two months watching the situation in Liaodong County, what kind of changes have been made.
He didn't say what he thought, but the more he hoped that the land he loved would also have such a change. He didn't expect that this opportunity would come so soon.
He had inadvertently obtained the plan of the conspiring family heads, and he had wanted to report to them, but from the scene he had seen with his own eyes, he knew that from the beginning to the end, it was very likely that Mizi Joseon had become a slowly growing tiger, the next prey.
This was further confirmed by his observation of the messenger who followed.
He also saw that the envoy and his entourage, with the assistance of those who should have been arranged in advance, secretly left Wang Jiancheng.
He didn't say anything, because he was waiting for that day to come.
"Perhaps...... It really can change all that. ”
On a hill watching the detachment of envoys who had gathered together again and then left, he muttered to himself, as if the death of the original child and his parents had resurfaced in front of him......
He didn't bury them because he didn't want to get into trouble, he could only silently pray that this family would be reunited again in the next life, living in a much better environment than the rotten land of this country......
......
Before leaving the study, Wen Le heard a sentence from his uncle: "Have you really made up your mind? Because there is a good chance that you will meet your master...... and Yun Zhen. ”
Hearing these two people, Wenle's figure paused, and he was silent for a long time, without any next move.
His master, although in many aspects, is quite poor, especially for the management of the Xuanniao Gate, which makes many disciples, including him, look down on him.
However, as a result of these years of nurturing and teaching, his feelings for his master are also complicated.
And the one in the back looks like a girl's name, which is the daughter of her master, and she is also the younger sister who is two years younger than him.
They are not so much brothers and sisters, but because they have been together for many years, they have sprouted some normal relationship emotions. The two of them admired each other, and it was not a secret in the Xuanniao Gate, and their master turned a blind eye to it, which was itself a tacit attitude.
He couldn't imagine if he could face each other against these two people, and he couldn't be indifferent to hearing this. There is still a stream of blood flowing in his heart......
I don't know how long time has passed, Wen Xu did not interrupt his nephew's thoughts, but silently waited for the other party's decision.
Since you have embarked on this path, there are some things that you must face.
He was proud and sorry for his nephew, but he couldn't get involved too much, because this was his nephew's battle, after all, it was Wenle's fate. All he can do is help Wenle find a path.
......
Time passed, Wen Xu gently fiddled with the hemp core of the oil lamp, turned his head to look at the window where there was no one anymore, and remembered the words of his nephew:
"I have to, even if it'...... I'm going to lose my life......"
Wen Xu, who sighed softly, turned his head again and said a bitter word: "Second brother, brother-in-law, Le'er, he is really like you." ”
He never told Wenle the truth, that is, his parents did not die of illness, but were killed by the looting of Ji Joon's father, that is, the officers and soldiers of the guards directly under the previous generation of Joseon kings......
Wen Xu, who knew about this, naturally knew very well that some hatred should also seek justice......
