Chapter 172: Each has a ghost
Outside the Chenqiao Gate.
"Quick, attack!"
"Open the door of Chen Qiao, everyone will be rewarded!"
……
Liu Tao, Zhang Shuye, and Du Chong were three civilian officials, constantly urging the obviously reluctant soldiers.
The latter is really reluctant.
The last attack was not only fruitless, but also killed and wounded more than 3,000.
There will definitely be no different results this time,
Especially at present, Qin Wangjun can't even supply military salaries, before because Li Yan took out the taxes that had not yet been released in Beijing as military salaries, plus Zhang Shuye raised a batch on Jingdong East Road, and Fan Zhixu also took out a batch of local taxes in Xijing, and finally barely maintained it. But after Li Yan's death, Xu Churen fled to the sky, Fan Zhixu hid in Zhongmu and did not dare to step forward, and they did not send money to this side if they had money in their hands......
In fact, Fan Zhixu has no money.
It was true that Xu Churen temporarily intercepted the money and grain in Jiangnan, but he used the excuse that the Bianhe River was controlled by Wang Yue, so he did not transport it north, but used the money to re-recruit the army on the spot.
It is said that it is the king of Qin.
But it should actually be just in case.
After all, this chaos is getting bigger and bigger, once it causes chaos, he has to protect his hometown Yingtian, and at the same time avoid Jianghuai being involved in the war, Yingtian is the gate of Jianghuai, whether he really wants to be Zhang Xun or not, he must use the limited money and food in his hand to consolidate Yingtian.
Of course, these are not the main reasons, the main reason is actually that most of the previous batches of people who received large sums of military salaries and rewards have already run away, and even their armor and weapons are thrown to Wang Yue. At present, most of these are brought by Liu Tao, who is even poorer, so not only can he not increase the supply of money and food for Qin Wangjun, but on the contrary, what could have been improvised, has become overstretched.
King Qin's army is indeed still 90,000.
But this 90,000 is not the previous 90,000.
This is actually equivalent to Qin Wangjun having to pay twice a month and reward twice.
It's a bit of a stretch indeed.
In short, at this time, the Qinwang army was already a little short of money and food, and even the soldiers were already difficult to let go of their bellies to eat, especially the more and more bandits who looted military supplies, in fact, those who had deserted with armor and weapons before, and the continuous chaos would inevitably lead to expansion.
This makes morale even lower.
The obviously listless soldiers, carrying ladders, pushing ladders, and even rushing carts under the cover of trebuchets, bed crossbows, and divine arms bows in the back, slowly moved forward among the various weapons discarded last time. Above their heads were stones and various arrows from the city wall, and although Wang Yue had not yet made the counterweight trebuchet, there were also countless manpower trebuchets in the hands of hundreds of thousands of militiamen. In the rise and fall of the lever, stones weighing dozens of pounds flew out and landed among these unlucky soldiers, and then there were soldiers who could not bear it anymore, throwing away their weapons in horror, and then running back like crazy.
Later, Guan Sheng personally led the team of overseers, running back and forth on horseback, constantly whipping those deserters with whips.
But it didn't work.
There are so many that a few Warlords are pointless.
As they approached the city wall, more and more soldiers fled in the dense rain of sharp arrows, and soon most of them began to flee, and the original attack became a collapse, no matter how Zhang Shuye and the others roared angrily in the back, they couldn't change the sad reality.
The beacon fire in the direction of the Xuande Gate in the city is still using the smoke rising to the sky, telling the loyal ministers and righteous people outside the city that their emperor is already in danger, but unfortunately, the army of 90,000 Qinwang here cannot open the city gate in front of them. Liu Tao is indeed a good general, and Zhang Shuye is also a loyal minister, but it is useless to be a loyal minister and a good general, and the city wall more than three zhang high stands majestically, blocking the last few kilometers of their King Qin......
It's true.
They are closer to the great painter than Li Tianxia and Zhang Lingfu!
"This Wang Yue has done a good thing, if it weren't for that, how would we know that this court has been so weak?"
Looking at this scene, Liu Guangguo said with interest.
Their father and son did not go to war.
It's not that their father and son deliberately avoided the war, but Uncle Zhang arranged for them to be on guard at night to prevent Wang Yue from sneaking out of the city to attack, in fact, he didn't trust them and was worried that their father and son would do something......
The principle of the Great Song Dynasty to be a civilian and a martial artist cannot be changed.
Therefore, the commander of this Qinwang army is actually still Zhang Shuye, he is a straight bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, and Liu Tao is the Jixian Palace, Du Chong is the Jiying Palace, and the three of them just form the Qinwang Army Command, and Liu Yanqing, although he is the envoy of the Heyang Sancheng Festival, can still only be a capital commander.
He was excluded from the command.
The more times like this, the more we must strictly abide by this principle of using literature to control military force.
The wind is clearly not going in the right direction.
Wang Yue's rebellion made these generals obviously start to grow grass in their hearts, after all, Wang Yue can mess with Tokyo with only 500 cavalry, kill the three princes like chickens, and slaughter civil officials like slaughtering dogs.
And what about others?
Why don't others follow suit?
After all, it was so easy for him to succeed!
Therefore, Zhang Shuye and the three of them are now very wary of Liu Yanqing.
"Don't talk nonsense, our Liu family is also loyal to generations, how can we be on the same page as that traitor!"
Liu Yanqing said slowly.
Then he stroked his beard and looked at the pillar of smoke in the city with a deep face.
He really didn't want to be a rebel, the father and son of the Liu family ran away and fled, but they had to admit that they still had a bottom line, even if they died in the end, they didn't surrender to the enemy. So their loyalty is indeed worthy of recognition, but if you want to say that grass does not grow in your heart, it is definitely impossible, in short, Liu Yanqing's mood at this moment is also very complicated. But at this moment, in the sky inside the city, suddenly more and more birds flew up, even hovering in the sky, and then flew towards the Genyue mountain forest, which was also visible here.
"The city is broken!"
Liu Yanqing said with a solemn face.
"Wang Yue is out!"
Liu Guangguo exclaimed at the same time.
In the distance, at the Weizhou Gate, the drawbridge was lowered, and a colorful monster slowly walked out carrying a steel monster, and behind the monster, there was a steady stream of mounted cavalry.
"Let Liu Xi go first!"
Liu Yanqing said with a somewhat complicated gaze.
The flag behind him waved and gave an order to Liu Xi, who was guarding the state gate, and then the flag there also waved, and he said that he received the order, Liu Yanqing smiled knowingly, and then waved his hand forward, and the infantry in front of him also moved forward, but their Liu family's cavalry did not move......
"This old dog!"
Liu Xi watched this scene with disdain.
"Shall we fight or not?"
His brother-in-law Feng Kangnian looked at Wang Yue, who was quickly arrayed opposite, and said.
It's the best chance to really fight.
Wang Yue lined up outside the gate with mounted cavalry, and the archers who were obviously a grade lower behind continued to pour out, and then quickly lined up on both flanks, which showed that there were infantry behind, and if you want to fight, you will attack the archers on both wings with cavalry, and then let the infantry cannon fodder pile up the cavalry.
They are confident enough in the combat effectiveness of their own troops.
In fact, Liu Xi still had a thousand cavalry.
This is not only the Liu family, but also the Feng Kangnian family and Liu Xi's brother-in-law Wang Xie's family, both of which are local tyrants of the Qin Long family.
"Fight, two thousand miles of King Qin, no matter what, you can't stop fighting!"
Liu Xi said categorically.
But at this moment, he saw a young general next to Wang Yue rushing out, prancing between the two armies, and roaring very arrogantly: "Yang Zaixing of a certain Xiangzhou, who dares to fight with me on the other side!" ”
"Uh, and the heads-up before the battle?"
Feng Kangnian was stunned.
"This guy is cunning, in that case, don't lose the momentum, who will kill this thief?"
Liu Xi said.
Of course he understands what Wang Yue means, everyone also has some friendship, it's always bad to let go of his hands and work hard, so he simply goes out alone, so that in the process of heads-up, the infantry behind Wang Yue has also completed the formation, at that time, it will not be Liu Qi's thousand cavalry, but Liu Yanqing's main force, since this is the case, of course Liu Xi has to cooperate, and he is reluctant to die with his own family!
"I'll go!"
Wang Xie urged the horse and said.
Then Wang Xie, who had not yet evolved to the point where he would flee and would be defeated in every battle, went straight to Yang Zaixing.
"Wang Xie of Qinzhou, the thief is killed!"
Wang Xie shouted proudly.
Immediately after that, the cone gun in his hand stabbed Yang Zaixing, the latter blocked it with a shot very casually, and the single-hook gun in his hand stabbed out, Wang Xie hurriedly avoided it, but the next moment Yang Zaixing's single-hook gun was withdrawn, and one of the two barb-like hooks on the head of the gun happened to hook Wang Xie's shoulder......
"Come down!"
Yang Zaixing roared.
Then Wang Xie screamed and was ripped off by him.
Before he could get up, he was put in the throat by Yang Zaixing's gun, he was so frightened that he hurriedly did not move, and the two subordinates behind Yang Zaixing immediately stepped forward and quickly dragged Wang Xie away.
"Who else?"
Yang Zaixing continued to show off his might.
Behind him, the victorious infantry began to push the shield cart and rush out of the city gate to line up.
"This thief is too rampant, who will take him down?"
Liu Xi continued to shout like a brain-dead.
"Let's see what to do with him!"
Then a member of the Liu family's cronies immediately rushed out......
"Liu Dalang is crazy? Is he here to fight or to compete? ”
On the other side, Liu Guangguo looked stupid.
What the hell is this?
"Liu Jieshuai, why don't you join the army!"
Du Chong's voice sounded behind them, Liu Yanqing and his son hurriedly turned around, and then saw Du Chong coming in a hurry, as for the siege behind the city had been pulled down, those scum all ran back, Du Chong came with Guan Sheng's department, obviously to supervise the battle, after all, Wang Yue has already left the city, if he can solve this rebel outside the city, it will be regarded as King Qin's victory.
"Well, I don't want the Liu family to have the style of the ancients!"
Du Chong looked at the battle in the distance in surprise.
"Du Gong, do you call this the wind of the ancients?"
Liu Guangguo couldn't bear to say.
"There are many famous generals in ancient times, Guan Yunchang stabbed Yan Liang on a single horse, Xiao Maha rode alone to kill the enemy, how can he only be the one who rushes up in chaos, and the young general still needs to read more!"
Du Chong said disdainfully.
He probably regarded Yang Zaixing as Liu Xi's subordinate.
"What kind of war is this, he clearly ......"
Liu Guangguo said angrily.
He is clearly a foreign grinder......
Well, there was no such word at this time, so Liu Guangguo couldn't remember how to describe it for a while.
"Da Lang, don't be rude, order all the troops to march immediately, I will wait for King Qin to rescue me, now the official family is just a stone's throw away, today all the generals must fight bravely to be the first, kill this traitor and dedicate it to His Majesty,!"
Liu Yanqing shouted.
