Chapter 137: Taking the Ming City
The sharp sun rises into the sky, the floor is full of heating, and the camp is bright and cool, but it is not good!
Last night's rain not only harmed people, but also harmed the surrounding flowers and plants!
I saw the grass in the camp, green and yellow, full of flowers, withered and faceless, water in the ditch, from clear to black, trees in the mountains, fallen leaves like autumn, animals in the forest, squatting and weeping, the soldiers in the camp, the anger was secretly sad, the camp general, the heart ache to see!
The 160,000 army, which got up very early, stood majestically in the open field, holding his weapons tightly, looking up at the platform, only hoping that General Cheng Yan would come soon, and gave the order to take the city of Ming, to avenge the animals here, and to vent his anger for poisoning.
In the main tent in the camp, I thought that people had gathered among them, and the top of the table was sitting Cheng Yan, and on the left was the head of the cow, the face of the horse, and the sea shark.
On the right are Meng Po, Xue Lian, and Yu Ming, all discussing how to attack the city and how to deploy troops.
Cheng Yan looked at the generals and said to them: "Today's siege is the best time, if you miss today, then Pu Ji will flee, what is the best way for you to break the city?" ”
The bull head sitting on the left saw that no one spoke, so he looked at Cheng Yan and said to him: "General, why do you need any good strategies now!" As long as you give me 10,000 soldiers and horses, I will break through Naming City in one fell swoop and scatter the soul of Na Puji. ”
Ma Mian listened to Niu Tou's words, and said with disdain: "Okay, that Ming City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, how can you take 10,000 soldiers to fight, or sit down, don't talk nonsense." ”
The bull head looked at the horse face angrily, and said to him: "It's okay if you are cowardly, my bull head is not afraid, even if Mingcheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I can capture that Pu Ji alive!" ”
Cheng Yan watched the two arguing, and immediately stopped him: "Niu Tou Ma Mian, I know your ability very well, but we still need to think long-term about attacking this Ming City." ”
Niutou saw Cheng Yan speak, his ruthlessness could not be restrained, and he was afraid of horse jokes, so he came out of the table and knelt down on one knee to Cheng and said: "General, I am bound to win this battle, just give me 10,000 horses, and I will definitely set foot in Mingcheng, here, I am willing to make a military order." ”
This time, Niu Tou became serious, except for Ma Mian and Cheng Yan, everyone else stepped forward one after another, saying and persuading Niu Tou, but Niu Tou just couldn't listen to it, and looked straight at Cheng Yan.
Cheng Yan knew that if Niu Tou was careful, no one would want to persuade him, so he thought of a way and said to Niu Tou: "Niu Tou listens to the order, I will give you 10,000 horses, and when you arrive in Mingcheng, you will take the lead first, and if you dare to retreat on the way, you will be dealt with by military law." ”
When Niu Tou heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his tense face, and he said to Cheng Yan: "If my Niu Tou takes half a step back during the siege of the city, he will definitely come and ask for his life, and the military law will deal with me." With that, he got up and sat back down with the others.
Cheng Yan ignored the bull head at this time, looked at the generals, and asked them, "Do you have any other good plans?" ”
The sea shark thought for a while, looked at Cheng Yan, and said to him: "General, I have a strategy, I hope the general will adopt it." ”
Cheng Yan smiled: "What is the plan of the sea shark? ”
The sea shark said: "General, when I was in Bodhi Mountain, because I was a fish in the sea, I turned into a human body, and Master Gu taught me a method of calling water and making waves!" Now that the Ming City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I can use this method to flood the city wall, and then I can capture the Ming City in one fell swoop. ”
It didn't matter that everyone felt that this plan was wonderful, even Cheng Yan happily agreed, then looked at Meng Po again, and said to her: "Godmother, this siege of the city will inevitably cause misfortune, so you can make more soup in case of emergency!" ”
Meng Po smiled and said: "The general doesn't need to worry, the generals drank my soup last night, and there is no need to drink it today, no matter what kind of illness Pu Ji has, it will not hurt the generals, you can go to war with peace of mind." ”
After Cheng Yan heard this, he felt relieved, and wanted to start issuing orders to all the generals, but at this time, Ma Yan asked Cheng Yan for orders: "General, I have something to say!" ”
Cheng Yan asked, "Ma Mian, what do you have to say?" ”
Ma Mian said: "I want to follow the bull head and be the pioneer to break the city." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone rejoiced, Niu Tou looked at the horse with strange eyes, and Cheng Yan smiled and said: "This battle, either death or life, okay, then both of you will be the vanguard and break the city gate." ”
Ma Mian didn't care what Niu Tou thought of him, he said "yes" directly, and sat back at the table!
This is exactly how brothers can be born when they are in trouble, and work together to break the Ming City.
As soon as the matter of the horse was finished, Xuelian, who was sitting on the other side, stood up again and said to Cheng Yan: "General, this siege, I also want to charge, I hope the general will take me." ”
This time, Cheng Yan smiled, thinking in his heart that he wanted Meng Po to guard the camp with Xuelian, who knew that this time she asked for battle, so she didn't force her to stay, and said to Xuelian: "Since Xuelian wants to go, it's okay, but you have to promise me a condition!" ”
Xue Lian said: "General, please speak!" ”
Cheng Yan said: "You must obey orders, without my permission, you must not leave my side for half a step, after all, you are a woman, you can only watch the battle, all at my disposal." ”
Xue Lian wanted to go, but she could only agree: "Obey the general's orders!" With that, he sat down again.
Cheng Yan saw that the time was almost up, stood up, and ordered Niu Tou Ma Mian: "Niu Tou Ma Mian, you two take 10,000 horses, fight the vanguard, and rush to Naming City." ”
The bull head said "yes" and withdrew from the account.
Cheng Yan ordered: "Eagle Ming Snow Lotus Sea Shark, follow me, lead 100,000 horses, and when the bull head and horse face break through the city gate, lead the army to break the city." ”
The three of them also said "yes" and withdrew from the account.
Cheng Yan looked at Meng Po and said to her: "Godmother, the 40,000 soldiers in the army will be handed over to you, and when the sun sets, you can set off to and from Mingcheng." ”
Meng Po said "yes", then got out of the table, arrived with Cheng Yan, and walked towards the outside of the account.
When they came out, the generals had already counted out 110,000 horses out of the 160,000 soldiers, stood in a wide area, and waited for Cheng Yan to speak.
Cheng Yan walked up to the drum platform and didn't say anything to the 110,000 horses, but just jumped and took out the golden horse in the air.
Cheng Yan saw that it was good, fell down, got on the back of a lion, and shouted to the back: "All the tigers and lions, set off to Mingcheng, break the enemy and kill Puji." ”
This shout, all the generals and soldiers listened to the order, and they all got on the back of the lion and tiger, and with a "good" sound, they all followed behind Cheng Yan, and set off for Mingcheng in a mighty way.
Along the way, they crossed the mountains and forests, walked to the foot of Daqiao Mountain, ran to the straight road, and at noon, they all arrived at the foot of Mingcheng, and they were all ready for battle.
Cheng Yan looked at Mingcheng, no different from the past, so he ordered 10,000 archers to go out to fight against the city, and then with a "release", the arrows flew to Mingcheng like raindrops.
Listening to the constant screams of ghosts, Cheng Yan saw that it was the right time, so he called the bull head and horse face, with 10,000 soldiers, only to see that there were those with ladders, those who pushed pillars, those who held shields, those who held spears, and those who held long swords.
And the Ming City did not show weakness, seeing 10,000 soldiers rushing towards them, they were all ready, those who took arrows released arrows, those who took stones put stones, and those who took sticks threw sticks, and in an instant, it was the screams of screams, the soul of the soul flying, everything, just don't want the enemy to rush to the city.
Cheng Yan saw that the ghosts of Mingcheng were guarding fiercely, and he was also worried about the safety of the bull head and horse face, so he turned his head again, looked at the sea shark, and said to him: "Sea shark, the enemy is guarding the city strictly, you can quickly break it!" ”
The sea shark heard the call, "yes", that is, jumped up and flew in the air, only to see him facing Mingcheng, closed his eyes and sank his color, recited a true sentence in his mouth, and his body turned into a shark.
Then it swayed up, but in a moment, behind him, a wave of water flew in the air, passed over his head, and surged towards Mingcheng.
Cheng Yan was relieved when he saw this, but before he saw the water fall, Xue Lian said on the side: "General, I'll go to help the sea shark." ”
Cheng Yan was puzzled and asked, "What means do you have?" ”
Xue Lian said: "When I was in Bodhi Mountain, the master taught me the method of turning water into a dragon, and this time I just used it, and it will definitely make the water more violent." ”
Cheng Yan said "good", and let the snow lotus also fly in the air to help the sea shark!
I saw her out of the divine chain, and after three throws, a stream of golden light came out, and she quickly went towards the waves that had not yet fallen.
After a while, the golden light quickly caught up with the waves, and changed, only to see the water meet the golden light, it was a miracle, turned into fifty flying golden dragons, each fierce and fierce, to the Ming City, scattered and flew, the ghost soldiers who hit were retreating again and again, giving Cheng Yan's soldiers enough time.
Cheng Yan saw that the ghost soldiers were in chaos, so he shouted loudly: "Rush me!" After roaring, he took the lead and rushed to the front, and the 100,000 soldiers behind him were all like wolves and tigers, following behind and rushing towards Mingcheng.
After a while, he joined forces with the bull head and horse face, climbed the ladder, rushed to the city wall, pushed the pillar, knocked down the city gate, 110,000 people, entered in one fell swoop, killed the ghost when he saw it, extremely fierce, and in less than two hours, he beat the 100,000 ghosts of the Ming City, and the soul was scattered.
Cheng Yan ordered Yu Ming to deal with the Ming City, and he took the generals to Pu Ji's mansion, and when he entered the palace, he saw Pu Ji and the three small leaders preparing to escape.
Seeing this, the bull head shouted: "Pu Ji little ghost, escape there!" ”
Pu Ji saw that the city was broken, and asked Cheng Yan to block them, so he thought about it desperately, and said to the three ghosts: "Fight with them, kill!" After roaring, he held the lotus sword, and the three ghosts took the flower hammer, and they all killed Cheng Yan.
Who knew that the three ghosts were so vulnerable, when the tooth ghost rushed over, he was held by the horse's face, and as soon as the two axes and swords touched, he was stabbed by the horse's face, and the axe was hit far away, and then pierced, and the soul scattered and died.
When the dead ghost came, he was held up by the head of the bull, and before the axe could move, he was kicked by the head of the bull, and stretched out the spear, only to scatter the dead ghost and fly.
When the ghost came, he was framed by the Snow Lotus Sea Shark, the Sea Shark blocked his axe, and the Snow Lotus tied his head, and before he could make a move, he was cut off by the Snow Lotus, and his soul was burned to death.
Only when Pu Ji came, he still had some ability, he was with Cheng Yanzhan, it was really wonderful, I saw Pu Ji's sword flying, Cheng Yanyin greeted him, Pu Ji was like the yellow tiger jumping, Cheng Yan was like the lion king walking, Pu Ji was like the predatory eagle, and Cheng Yan was like a dragon in the water.
One came in and one greeted, took off again, and squatted again, Pu Ji was unprepared, Cheng Yan saw the opportunity to go, pressed the big seal on Pu Ji's back, and died of golden light.
Seeing this, Cheng Yan did not have pity, and said to the dead Pu Ji: "All laws are the Tao, it's not that you don't report it, it's time to not do it!" After speaking, he walked into the temple and burned the white lotus.
After burning the flowers, in the afternoon, Meng Po also arrived, and all the generals were in the hall, and then turned around, Cheng Yan asked again: "Yu Ming, how many people were injured and how many died in this siege?" ”
Yan Ming did not hide it, and said to Cheng Yan: "General, among the 110,000 people this time, 3,000 people died and 2,000 were injured. ”
Cheng Yan heard that the casualties were not too big, so he said to the generals: "The victory in the battle of Mingcheng should be celebrated, but the military situation is critical, there is still a city waiting for us to collect, and Cui Yang wants to meet with us, so I decided to leave overnight and go to Quancheng."
After hearing this, the generals all said, "I will obey the general's orders!" ”
Cheng Yan saw that everyone agreed, so he shouted, "Hongyi come in." ”
I saw a young soldier general, whose face was covered with blood, entered the lobby, named Hongyi, and he asked Cheng Yan: "What did the general call me for?" ”
Cheng Yan said: "You were originally a general of the chariot and cavalry appointed by the Son of Heaven, and now you have a great responsibility." ”
"Please command, General!"
"Order you to garrison Mingcheng, leave you 5,000 soldiers, add 2,000 wounded soldiers, and defend the city here! And quickly send the war report to the Celestial Empire, and pass on my situation. ”
Hongyi was upright, and when he heard that he wanted to stay in the city, he didn't refuse, so he said: "I will live up to the general's order." Then he stepped aside.
Cheng Yan saw that the matter was arranged, so he called Meng Po's generals again, went outside, and then the bull head roared, only to see a while, except for the remaining 7,000 soldiers, the rest of the 150,000 troops were all standing together.
I only heard Cheng Yan say to them: "Let's go", and then took the lead in flying into the air, followed by 150,000 troops, and batches of them also flew into the air and headed towards Naquan City.
