Chapter 175: Reinforcements came, but they looked stupid
"My subordinates don't know."
"My subordinates don't want to know!"
Luo Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly responded.
His expression became a little flustered, afraid that Fang Yuan would have an opinion on him.
He was curious as to why Fang Yuan didn't use such a powerful weapon on the battlefield.
But he cared more about his future and his status in Fang Yuan's heart.
"Don't talk to anyone about today."
"Remember, it's anyone!"
Fang Yuan smiled slightly and admonished.
There are many reasons not to use explosives on the battlefield.
For example, explosives have little effect on cavalry, and they may even injure their own people.
For example, if explosives appear in advance, the bandit head may not be able to attract it.
Another example is that Fang Yuan was worried that the explosives would be remembered when they appeared at this time, and he couldn't keep them.
In short, there are many reasons.
But explosives will eventually be used.
When the explosion sounded on Fang Yuan's side, signals were received both inside and outside Liaozhou City.
In Fangfu, Juzi, Hongxu, Qingyuan, and Liao Fengmao each left with an escort and went to the Sifang City one after another.
The main city gate.
After Xu Shihui's mobilization, the city gate has been guarded.
The people below have been smashed and killed, and they are no longer able to attack the city.
But the gates are already crumbling, and if you look closely, you will sprint a few more times before they will be swept open.
The Eastern Turkic cavalry outside the city stared at the crumbling gate, hesitating to make another sprint.
It was at this time that the giant man arrived.
"On the orders of Fang Assassin Shi, take over here!"
"Please all get out of here, get out of here, get out of here!"
The giant raised Fang Yuan's token and said in a deep voice.
The captain of the city guard and Xu Shihui were stunned for a moment, and then left after being ordered.
Although they didn't know what the giant was going to do, they knew that this was Fang Yuan's token.
At the same time, Fang Yuan also explained to them that at the critical moment, someone from the Fang Mansion would come to them, just listen to the order.
This similar scene also occurred at the other three city gates, and the guards were replaced by the guards of the Fang Mansion.
"Yes!"
The captain of the city guard and Xu Shihui were ordered to retreat.
The other guards on the walls also left, retreating with the rest of the people.
Everyone wondered why they were asked to leave at this time, when the gates of the city were about to be breached.
Seeing this, the Eastern Turkic cavalry outside the city immediately did not calm down, and rode their horses back and forth, not knowing why they retreated from the soldiers defending the city.
"Put explosives!"
"Open the gates!"
The giant gave the order again.
More than a dozen guards from the Fang Mansion immediately walked towards the city gate.
From the inner city to the city gate, more than a dozen bundles of explosives were placed.
They were small pieces of explosives, then tied up and the size of an adult's head, and placed on the sides and in the middle of the wall.
"Do you want to open the gates?"
"Why do you want to open the gates?"
"Didn't we just guard the gates?"
"Captain, what's the matter, why do you want to open the city gates?"
The people were shocked.
Xu Shihui and the captain of the city guard were also puzzled.
They looked at the giant and asked him why, but the giant just told them to watch.
With a squeak, the almost broken gate was slowly opened, and people saw the Eastern Turkic cavalry outside the city.
Seeing the Eastern Turkic cavalry staring at each other, all the people retreated in panic.
Although they have thousands of people here, almost all of them are unarmed.
In the face of hundreds of ferocious Eastern Turkic cavalry, the people were terrified from the bottom of their hearts.
"Actually open the city gates?"
"Will there be fraud?"
"Shall we kill it?"
"Kill, just a small city, can you still stop our Turkic iron cavalry?!"
The Eastern Turkic cavalry outside the city was even more agitated.
After a little discussion, it was decided to enter Liaozhou City.
They have confidence in themselves and look down on the small city of Liaozhou.
"Bang Bang!!"
War horses roar, 100 horses gallop.
The Eastern Turkic cavalry shouted and rushed towards the city.
Xu Shihui, the captain of the city guarding the city and the others were so frightened that they couldn't help but retreat and looked at the giant nervously.
"Ready!"
The giant ordered with a calm face.
More than a dozen Fang Mansion guards took out a piece of explosives one after another.
They held explosives in one hand and incense that had been lit in the other.
The cavalry outside the city rushed into the city, and was about to enter the city gate, and those who rushed in front had already entered the city gate.
"Put!"
The giant shouted.
More than a dozen guards from the Fang Mansion immediately lit explosives and threw them at the city gate.
At this time, more than ten cavalry had already entered the city gate, and the leader was about to enter the city.
But at this very moment,
"Bang!"
A huge explosion rang out.
This was followed by an earth-shattering explosion.
It was seen that some of the cavalry who rushed into the city gate were immediately blown apart.
Not only that, but something even more terrifying happened, the city wall collapsed violently, with the city gate as the center, and both sides collapsed.
The huge explosion made everyone lose color, and even made everyone subconsciously cover their ears, and they felt that their ears were buzzing, and they were suddenly deaf.
"Ah!!h
Screams rang out.
The Eastern Turkic cavalry, which entered the blast range, was blown up and died no longer.
The Eastern Turkic cavalry, which had already rushed into the city, was affected by the explosion, and the men and horses fell to the ground and screamed.
As for the part outside the city, some cavalrymen who could not stop their horses directly hit the wall, and the men and horses hit the collapsed wall, and either died immediately or were seriously injured and dying.
As a result of this explosion, more than eighty percent of the Eastern Turkic cavalry died.
The remaining less than half of the Eastern Turks were slightly injured, and their faces were full of disbelief and horror.
"Kill!"
The giant drank.
Be the first to rush to the collapsed gates.
More than a dozen guards from the Fang Mansion took out small Zhuge crossbows and followed.
The rest of the Eastern Turkic cavalry had already stopped under the collapsed city gates, and it was very dense.
It was only when the giant and the others rushed to the collapsed city and shot arrows at them that they slowly came back to their senses.
But it was too late.
They were quickly harvested, and before they died, they couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.
And not only them.
Even Xu Shihui and the captain of the city guard did not come back to their senses.
It was so terrible that it blew up the city gates, and the entire part of the city wall collapsed and became ruins.
What was that thing called?
Dynamite?
It's so small, it's so powerful!
It's horrible!
Subverted their perceptions!
Almost at the same time, the situation in the Sifang City was somewhat similar.
Li Danqiu and the others had already retreated, retreating from the three-sided city gates, chasing behind the Eastern Turkic cavalry such as Luo Deyu.
Taking advantage of the horseshoe, the Liaozhou cavalry was slightly faster, and when they entered the city, the Eastern Turkic cavalry was chasing after them.
Similar to the operation of the giants and others, the explosives all blew up the city, killed some of the cavalry, buried some of the cavalry, and then used the Eastern Turkic soldiers to shoot them when they were in shock.
At this point, the Eastern Turkic cavalry was completely wiped out!
Everything seemed to be so quick to solve the Eastern Turks, but before that, Fang Yuan did not dare to use this strategy.
Because there are so many thousand horsemen, if you enter through a single city gate, most of them will be outside the blast range, and they can't play such a big role at all.
And now, it has become a quadrangular city and entered, greatly dispersing the Eastern Turkic cavalry, which has already lost a lot of death, so that this plan can be realized, and Liaozhou has won a complete victory.
The earth-shattering explosion of the Quartet Gate shook the whole city, thinking that the end had come.
The families who thought of leaving Liaozhou City were terrified and sent people to inquire about the news.
At the same time, a cavalry rushed from the direction of Chang'an City, and reinforcements finally arrived.
"Quick, Liaozhou City ahead!"
"Speed up the speed for Ben and leave all the Eastern Turkic cavalry!"
"General Wei Chi, there were several huge explosions in the direction of Liaozhou City just now, do you want to find out before going?"
Eight hundred cavalry galloped in.
All the way to the ground, the dust is billowing, and the momentum is terrifying.
After galloping for a long time, their determination to kill the Eastern Turks seemed to be about to break out of their bodies.
"I can't hesitate so much!"
"Now Liaozhou City must be in dire straits, I'll explore while walking!"
Wei Chi Jingde shouted.
Rushed towards Liaozhou City non-stop.
Liaozhou is such a small city, and the defense is very weak.
The Eastern Turks had already been killed yesterday, and it was already noon.
Maybe Liaozhou City has already been captured, and no matter how late it is, the people of Liaozhou City will be slaughtered.
The eight hundred cavalry quickened their speed and soon got on the road in Liaozhou, and the speed was suddenly much faster.
Wei Chi Jingde and the others were stunned for a moment, and they were secretly shocked in their hearts, what kind of road is this gray-white road under their feet?
Not long after, Wei Chi Jingde and the others slowly approached Liaozhou City, and finally saw the situation in Liaozhou City.
It's just that after seeing the situation clearly, Wei Chi Jingde and the others were shocked.
"General Wei Chi, the gate of Liaozhou has collapsed?!"
The crowd was in disbelief.
But that's exactly what is happening at hand.
What kind of circumstances caused the city gate to collapse?
Wei Chi Jingde did not speak.
Because he doesn't know what's going on.
He could only speed up his speed and gallop towards Liaozhou City.
In the end, Wei Chi Jingde and others finally arrived at the gate of Liaozhou City and saw the situation clearly.
The city gate really collapsed, and the walls on both sides of the city gate also collapsed a lot, completely blocking the entrance.
Juzi and the others stood on top of the ruins.
Xu Shihui and the captain of the city guard, as well as many ordinary people, were already standing on the ruins.
They were too curious about what had just happened, and they also wanted to know what the situation was outside the city, whether the cavalry of the Eastern Turks had been killed?
But the giant only said that no cavalry fled, and then the others did not explain, and finally saw the arrival of reinforcements.
The long-awaited reinforcements have finally arrived.
But Xu Shihui and the others had mixed feelings.
Because, it seems that they don't need their support anymore.
"I'm Wei Chi Jingde."
"Who's in front, report the situation quickly!"
Wei Chi Jingde stopped his horse and asked loudly.
He was greatly shocked by the situation in front of him, and had some speculation in his mind.
Because there were quite a few corpses of cavalrymen on the ground, some were shot, some were stoned to death.
It is estimated that the Liaozhou guards took advantage of the collapse of the city gate to crush these Eastern Turkic cavalry to death.
I just heard that there are 1,000 Eastern Turkic cavalry, how many can be solved in one city?
"Deputy Commander Xu Shihui of the grass people, meet General Wei Chi."
"Liaozhou Zhizhi Assassin Shi and the common people have all participated in the battle, and all the Eastern Turkic cavalry has been wiped out!"
Xu Shihui walked out with the captain of the city and respectfully saluted Wei Chi.
The people on the ruins learned that it was Wei Chi Jingde, and they saluted Wei Chi Jingde.
Wei Chi Jingde's reputation is very great, he is the Duke of Wu Guo, and his status is respected.
"Exterminate them all?!"
Wei Chi Jingde exclaimed.
He couldn't compose himself, thinking he had misheard.
Not only him, but also the cavalry behind him became restless.
The Eastern Turks had a thousand cavalry, and their eight hundred cavalry did not dare to say that they could win.
It's completely impossible for the imperial court to send more cavalry support, and eight hundred is already the limit.
And these 800 cavalry they don't dare to say that they can win the Eastern Turks, let alone wipe them out.
"Yes, General!"
Xu Shihui and the others suddenly felt a sense of pride.
A kind of pride from the victory, the pride of being a Liaozhou person.
Not only him, but also the captains who guarded the city, the soldiers who volunteered to join the army, the people present, and so on, all had this pride.
A famous general from Chang'an City was so shocked, this was the shock that belonged to them Liaozhou people.
"Liao, what about the history of Liaozhou?!"
Wei Chi Jingde was still in disbelief.
It's just that the people in front of him are all proud, and he doesn't have the idea of continuing to ask.
Thinking that before he came, the emperor told him to protect Fang Yuan, so when he thought of Fang Yuan at this time, he could ask Fang Yuan the real reason.
"History of the Square Thorn"
Xu Shihui and the others suddenly showed a worried look.
The pride just now slowly dissipated, and the rest was all worry.
The reason why this war was able to win was all due to Fang Yuan's strategy.
It's just that there is no news from Fang Yuan now.
"Look, it's Lord Thorn!"
Suddenly, a citizen standing on the ruins pointed in one direction and shouted excitedly.
Everyone immediately looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw Fang Yuan lying on a stretcher and being carried back.
"Lord Thorn Shi!"
"It's Lord Thorn!"
"Brothers, it's Lord Thorn!"
"Victory, we victory!"
The people shouted excitedly and spontaneously ran towards Fang Yuan.
At this time, because of the explosion, thousands of people in the city walked out of their homes.
They all saw the gates crumbling into ruins, but the ruins were full of people, and they could not go up again.
After hearing that Fang Yuanhe had won, the people shouted excitedly, and after seeing the people on the ruins running away, more people walked up to the ruins and ran towards Fang Yuan.
"Lord Thorn Shi!"
"Lord Thorn Shi!"
More people are heading towards Fangyuan.
Surrounded Fang Yuan in a circle after circle, thousands of people surrounded Fang Yuan in a moment.
But when the people saw that Fang Yuan was covered in blood, his clothes were in tatters, and there were many scars on his body, their excitement turned into sadness, and their eyes turned red.
"Folks, I'm fine, don't be sad!"
"Our Liaozhou has won, this is the pride of all of us in Liaozhou!"
Fang Yuan said weakly.
He tried to struggle to get up, but when he moved, he was covered in pain.
"Master Thorn, don't move."
"You have broken several bones at first glance, and you need to treat them immediately, otherwise there will be sequelae."
"Quick, everyone get out of the way, we can't delay Lord Shi's healing!"
In the crowd, a common man was shocked.
The crowd looked at him and immediately recognized him as the doctor of the city.
His eyes immediately turned redder, and he hurriedly got out of the way for Luo Zheng and the others who were carrying Fang Yuan.
"General, are we going to stop Fang Thorn Shi?!"
The adjutant general of the reinforcements asked hesitantly.
After many years of marching and fighting, you can actually see how much you are really injured.
As a deputy general, he could see that Fang Yuan was not cheating, he was really injured, and he had gone through a battle of life and death.
"Let's wait."
"Go to the Assassin's Mansion!"
Yu Chi Jingde pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.
Whether it is a real victory or not, you don't have to ask Fang Yuan.
As the center of power in Liaozhou, it is also possible to go there and ask.
In fact, at this time, the officials of Liaozhou City were already in the inner city to welcome Fang Yuan's return.
They have learned about the war, and they know that victory in this war belongs to them.
Not only did the officials of the Assassin's Mansion and others arrive, but some of the family representatives also arrived.
At this time, almost everyone knew that under the leadership of Fang Yuan, they had a big victory in Liaozhou!
"Xiaguan meets Lord Thorn Shi!"
Zhang San and the others bowed.
"Zhang San, you write a pen, report to the court urgently, and ask for credit for every brother who participated in the war."
"Yang Sine, please go out of the ruins of the city gate and inform the four counties that the crisis in Liaozhou will be resolved."
"Liu Wenshi, welcome the imperial court reinforcements, don't slack off."
Fang Yuan slowly gave the order.
"Yes!"
The crowd should be, and the voice is extremely loud.
I don't know if it's because Zhang San and the others responded too loudly, or if Fang Yuan was too tired.
After they should have been, Fang Yuan only felt that his eyes were dark and he fainted.
"State Honor?!"
"Lord Thorn?!"
"Quick, send it back to Fangfu quickly, and ask all the doctors to heal!"
Zhang San and the others were shocked.
Immediately send Fang Yuan away as quickly as possible.
More people at the scene saw that tears were about to fall.
They are proud in their hearts, proud that they have such a history of thorns in Liaozhou.
Wei Chi Jingde had already climbed up the ruins and looked at Fang Yuan and the others from above.
But when he saw Fang Yuan in a coma, he suddenly admired Fang Yuan.
Chang'an City Palace.
It's been three days since the imperial court sent reinforcements.
For cavalry, three days was already a very long thing.
For three days, you could have slaughtered a city and then fled somewhere else.
Therefore, Li Shimin was so anxious that he walked around the imperial study, asking people to inquire about the situation in Liaozhou again and again.
If the city of Liaozhou is breached, the people of Liaozhou will be tortured and killed, and the Eastern Turkic cavalry will be killed elsewhere.
The more places were brutalized by the Eastern Turkic cavalry, the more people would feel that the imperial court was incompetent and that they were incompetent.
It has only been three years since the Xuanwumen Rebellion, the Eastern Turkic War has not yet ended, and now many people are still rebelling against the new dynasty and denying him as the emperor.
"Report, Liaozhou urgent!"
At this time, soldiers from outside the temple came in quickly.
"Good work!"
Li Shimin was so nervous that his hands trembled a little.
But in front of the messenger, he remained calm and took the urgent report.
[Liaozhou victory, assassin Shi Fangyuan organized cavalry to fight fiercely with the Eastern Turk thousand cavalry, and wiped out all the Eastern Turk thousand cavalry! ] 】
The first sentence of the emergency report stated the key point, telling Li Shimin the final result of Liaozhou.
The following is a detailed battle report, recording whose merits and so on, as well as the battle plan, etc., are all written in detail.
However, the first sentence has already made Li Shimin very excited, and he has no intention of reading it.
"Good, good, good!"
"Worthy of being my Ying Mengxian Chen!"
"Someone, pass on the right servant and the official department!"
Li Shimin ordered excitedly.
He asked for a reward from Fang Yuan, a big reward.
