Chapter 223: Inside and Outside, Attack Yunhai City
An Lushan nodded slightly, and then his expression was correct, and he said: "No matter what, we have to be cautious, half of the people eat mutton today, half of the people continue to eat horse meat, and tomorrow we will rotate!"
And you and I, including Sun Timur, will also eat tomorrow. ”
Although Ji Ri Galang felt that An Lushan was too cautious, he nodded when he thought of the tragic battle situation yesterday.
Smoke soon rose from the lion barracks, and all the soldiers drooled and looked hungrily at the boiling mutton in the pot.
Some soldiers who couldn't help it even took out a spoon and scooped up the broth in the pot and drank it.
They were all strong soldiers, and their daily consumption was so great that they were hungry without a meal, let alone without food for two days.
Soon, the whole camp began to be filled with the smell of mutton, and half of the soldiers in the barracks began to eat mutton in large gulps.
11,000 soldiers enjoyed this hard-won lamb feast.
An Lushan and Ji Ri Galang stood in front of the tent, looking at the satisfied expressions on the faces of the soldiers, and their hanging hearts finally fell.
"An Lushan, what should we do next? There are more than 100 goats in total, let's save food, and it's enough for three days. Ji Ri Galang said.
An Lushan sighed deeply, "We can only break the kettle now." Take a day off today, and find a way to contact the brothers in the city in the evening to see if you can cooperate with the outside and attack Yunhai City in one fell swoop. ”
Ji Ri Galang nodded, knowing in his heart that this was the only way for now.
Although Yunhai City is not an impregnable wall, Qi Tian in the city shoots arrows for a while, uses boulders for a while, and finally makes fuel bombs, and the soldiers are burned to charred corpses before they can get close.
He and An Lushan don't have any way to crack it now.
"Is it possible to occupy other cities first? After all, this is the Sunny Empire, in addition to Yunhai City, there are other cities we can occupy, we can supply there, and seek to fight again in the future. Ji Ri Galang said.
An Lushan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The Lion Empire's invasion of the entire Sunny Empire only sent 50,000 troops, and we only fought a small city with 30,000 troops, but we lost our troops and lost our generals, and we haven't broken through it yet." If we take other cities at this time, our family in the empire will be killed. ”
Ji Ri Galang's face changed, "You mean to say that Emperor Ah Nu Han will think that we have rebelled?"
An Lushan sighed heavily, "We are commanding an army of 30,000, not an army of 3,000, and we have the strength to establish ourselves as kings." ”
Ji Ri Galang's expression was depressed, "If the inside and outside can't break through Yunhai City, what should we do?"
An Lushan suddenly chuckled, as if he had seen through the wind after life and death, "You take the rest of the soldiers back to China, and I will apologize for the death alone." It's better than a family, and your family to be buried with you. ”
A layer of mist appeared in Ji Ri Galang's eyes, An Lushan had made great contributions to the Lion Empire, and even more for the empire, he didn't know how much money and materials he had robbed, but now because of a small Yunhai City, he was about to come to an end, and anyone would feel sad.
But this is victory, there is no past, there is no emotion, there is only victory and defeat.
Evening.
"Ahh
"What's going on?"
"Many soldiers foamed at the mouth and bled from the seven orifices!"
The originally quiet lion camp was awakened by a frightened scream.
The soldiers who had slept peacefully stood up one after another and looked around in a panic.
An Lushan heard the screams outside the tent, his heart sank suddenly, and he didn't even have time to put on his shirt, so he directly put on a pair of pants and ran outside.
And Sun Timur and Ji Ri Galang also hurried to the center of the barracks.
Soon, all the torches in the barracks were lit.
When the firelight illuminated everything around him, An Lushan's gaze swept over the ground and foamed at the mouth, and the soldiers who were bleeding from the seven orifices were extremely cold!
Ji Ri Galang's heart jumped suddenly, and he unconsciously looked at An Lushan, secretly glad that he listened to An Lushan's dialect and did not eat mutton.
But Sun Timur's face changed greatly, his eyes were a little crazy, and he whispered to himself, "Qi Tian is not a human, he is a demon, he is a demon, this is an ominous place..."
I saw that in the barracks, there were soldiers foaming at the mouth, bleeding from the seven orifices, and the death was extremely terrifying!
They must have been in great pain when they died, each of them had bruised in their necks, and their hands stiffened and scratched their necks, as if they had died of suffocation.
An Lushan looked at the corpses all over the ground, many of which he knew, all of them were soldiers who had eaten mutton today.
"Ahh
Sun Timur suddenly screamed frantically.
An Lushan was shocked, and immediately turned around and rushed to the crazy Sun Timur, knocked him unconscious with a punch, and then ordered the two frightened soldiers to "carry him into the tent and keep him under strict control!"
An Lushan only felt that his heart had been trampled by countless grass and mud horses, it was messy, and his brain couldn't think.
Ji Ri Galang hurriedly organized the surviving soldiers, gathered the bodies of the dead soldiers, and buried them on the spot.
In the end, An Lushan fought hard and went around the barracks to comfort the frightened soldiers.
But there are still many soldiers who have been hurt by the successive blows, and they have even launched a madness.
The insane soldiers were immediately gagged and tied up.
An Lushan and Ji Ri Galang were busy until it was too bright to calm the soldiers on the verge of collapse.
Handsome tent.
"Sun Timur is crazy, he can't fight anymore. Ji Ri Galang said helplessly.
At this time, he felt a little guilty in his heart, feeling that he had harmed the soldiers in the camp and Sun Timur, if they hadn't eaten the mutton he had brought back, they would not have died or gone crazy at all.
But he was very strange, how did Yunhai City send out these more than 100 sheep?
And how did they get in touch with the outside?
In the past few days, the gate of Yunhai City has been closed, and no one has come out at all, and he has searched the vicinity, and there is no sign of people at all.
It's just that at this time, how could Ji Ri Galang think that the east and south sides of Yunhai City are close to the sea, and they only need to use a boat to communicate with the coastal city-states.
The east side of Qimen Mountain is also close to the sea, and the two sides can transmit news by the sea, and there is no need to go through the city gate at all.
This is the geographical advantage, the generals of the Lion Empire who gallop the grassland all the year round can't think of Hainan Airlines, they don't even have a few people who can swim, a landlubber in the water.
"The people in the city, how are you contacted?" An Lushan can't care about casualties at all now, and how to take the next step is the key.
"The carrier pigeons of the soldiers in the city have been received, and the early hours of the morning are the time when the city guards are most lax, and tomorrow morning, our soldiers will kill the soldiers guarding the gates, and then open the city gates and let us enter the city. Ji Ri Galang said.
The most popular means of communication in the Lion Empire are carrier pigeons and eagles.
Even every general will have an eagle as a pet.
In times of war, they use all kinds of birds as a means of transmitting messages.
"How many of us are left now?" An Lushan asked.
Ji Ri Galang sighed, "Fortunately, we have controlled the number of sheep, and many people don't eat much. This time we only lost six thousand, but the remaining five thousand were no longer able to fight. ”
"Smack!" An Lushan swept all the things on the table of the handsome tent to the ground, and said angrily: "What is it? We haven't even seen the enemy now, and we have lost most of the people, and the generals have even died two, and one has gone crazy!"
Ji Ri Galang was taken aback by An Lushan, who was suddenly furious, it was the first time he had seen An Lushan so angry!
After a long time, the furious An Lushan gradually regained his calm.
"Tomorrow's last fight, I will personally lead the army. In addition, I will give you another 1,000 men to garrison the barracks, and if there is an accident on my side, you can return to the Lion Empire with your injured brother. An Lushan's tone was indescribably depressed.
No one could have imagined that the second of the ten dignified tiger generals, with an army of 30,000, would not even be able to capture Yunhai City, which only had 40,000 or 50,000 people.
Such a defeat is not only unacceptable to the emperor, but also to the commanders and generals themselves.
"Yes. "Ji Ri Galang replied to the decadent Tang.
He never dreamed that everyone was full of confidence and passion when he came, but now he was beaten like this.
During the daylight of the next day, the lion camp was filled with a depressed rage, and all the soldiers were listless, like defeated roosters.
The soldiers sat around in twos and threes, without the slightest mental head.
An Lushan walked out of the tent, looked at the soldier with his head drooping, and sighed heavily in his heart again.
He suddenly found that in just five or six days, he sighed more than in the past few decades combined.
"Good sons of the Lion Empire!" An Lushan roared.
The soldiers in the barracks were stunned for a moment, and looked at An Lushan in front of the tent suspiciously.
They didn't even have the mood to stand up at this time, so they sat directly in place and listened to An Lushan's lecture.
"I know that we have encountered some setbacks at the moment, but the Lion Legion is the strongest legion on the mainland, and we will definitely defeat the enemy in front of us! Please believe me, tonight, the people lurking in the city will open the gate of Yunhai City for us, we should cooperate with the outside, and tomorrow our lion banner will be planted on the wall of Yunhai City!" An Lushan boosted morale.
But the soldiers still looked at him with a depressed expression, and they didn't look like they were in any mood.
An Lushan was helpless in his heart, thought for a while, and shouted loudly again: "This time we invaded the city, all the looted finances and women belong to your brothers, we only need to take out a tenth and hand it over to the empire!"
You must know that Yunhai City is the richest city-state in the entire continent, and the beauties and money in it are countless!"
Sure enough, the soldiers' expressions changed somewhat.
In the past, the Lion Empire burned and looted the city, and 80% of it had to be handed over to the empire, and they could only keep 20% privately.
But now they can leave 90 percent of their possessions and give them to the empire for only 10 percent, which is indeed a great temptation.
What's more, the wealth of Yunhai City is known to everyone in the entire continent!
As long as they can capture Yunhai City, everyone's wealth will increase dramatically, and women will want as much as they want!
The soldiers looked at each other, then stood up and walked to the tent, "Imperial might!"
"We're going into the city tonight!"
"Follow Commander An Lushan to get rich!"
.........
For a moment, the soldiers began to shout to each other.
Although the military discipline is still a little messy, it is also much better than the previous depressed mood.
An Lushan sees everything in his eyes, but in this situation, it is already the best to have such a mental state.
"Okay, now everyone has a good rest, and after recuperating their spirits, they will enter Yunhai City with me in the early morning!" An Lushan finally shouted, and then turned around and went back to the handsome tent.
Not long after, Ji Ri Galang also came to the Shuai tent and asked with a puzzled face: "An Lushan, has Emperor Nu Han issued a new will?"
An Lushan glanced at him and shook his head.
"What was looted?"
"Without the stimulation of money and women, do you think soldiers can still have the passion to fight?"
Ji Ri Galang suddenly realized that An Lushan was lying to everyone.
"What should I do when the class teacher returns?"
An Lushan sneered, "Let's talk about it when the class teacher returns." ”
Ji Ri Galang's heart sank, and he looked at An Lushan's expression and knew that An Lushan seemed to be a little uncertain about tonight's battle.
"Ji Ri Galang, you don't have to worry, although Qi Tian is a bit of a ghost, and he has created some messy things that can temporarily resist us. But after all, he was only a young man in his twenties, and he would never have so much combat experience, so I was still very confident in the night battle. An Lushan added.
In the military newspaper, Qi Tian is portrayed as a gentleman in his twenties with a delicate face.
Although An Lushan doesn't believe that Qi Tian is a useless gentleman, his age will always be not bad, and the rice he eats must not be as much salt as he eats!
In the early hours of the morning, the stars were shining.
The entire lion camp was pitch black, and not a single torch was lit.
But at a close distance, you can vaguely see tens of thousands of soldiers lined up neatly by the moonlight, looking at Yunhai City with sharp eyes.
At this time, a carrier pigeon flew over from the direction of Yunhai City.
An Lushan, who was standing in front of the tent, stretched out his hand and grabbed the carrier pigeon and took off the letterhead on the pigeon's leg.
He looked at the contents of the letterhead, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Brothers, the brothers in the city have already succeeded, we are now quietly killing them on foot and catching them off guard!" An Lushan shouted loudly.
Then, an army of 10,000 people began to march towards Yunhai City in front.
At this time, except for the scattered torches on the walls of Yunhai City, the surroundings were dark, which could be described as reaching out and not seeing five fingers.
When the lion army approached Yunhai City, the soldiers standing guard on the city wall fell down one by one, and several tall men in black brocade clothes, holding torches, waved to the soldiers under the city wall.
An Lushan was standing at the front of the army at this time, he looked at the black-clothed man on the city wall, and his heart was happy, 'I have done it myself!'
