Chapter 190: United

Li Sizhao let the messenger cry and plead in every way, and resolutely ordered the guards to cut off his head, pick it up with a bamboo pole, and hang it above the city gate.

Written banners are hung on both sides, on the right are "Cut off the head of the messenger today", on the left is "Tomorrow cut off the head of Zhu Wen's dog", and on the horizontal is: "Fight against each other."

The secret agents of the Great Liang Dynasty had already seen it, and they hurried back to Zezhou to report to Zhu Wen, the emperor of the Liang Dynasty.

gave the seven orifices of Zhu Wenqi smoke, gritted his steel teeth, and roared incessantly: "I want to set foot in Luzhou City and kill all the people in the city without leaving ......!"

Li Si'an, the guard general of Naze Prefecture, comforted: "The emperor should not be angry for a while, and he will mess up. Instead, you should make long-term plans, as the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. That Luzhou City cannot be taken overnight, and a long-term countermeasure must be studied to devour it slowly little by little. ”

"You β€”β€”?!" The emperor Zhu Wen is usually used to being arrogant, how can he allow others to say half a word.

And he was already dissatisfied with Li Si'an's inability to capture Luzhou City during the period when he was guarding Zezhou.

shouted at the moment, "Wow, you Li Si'an, now you don't take me seriously." What do you mean that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry? You take me for a fool! Could it be that I have devoted all my strength to lead an army of 500,000 just to wander around? I have not studied a set of strategies and tactics, and I will come here easily?"

As soon as he turned around and saw Liu Zhijun beside him, he immediately pointed at Li Si'an and said, "I now order the removal of your post as the guard general of Zezhou......!"

Then he pointed at Liu Zhijun with his hand, and then said: "You will take over his position, do you understand?"

All the generals and officials were stunned, and they pleaded together: "Your Majesty, this temporary change of generals is not conducive to the war, I hope the emperor will think twice, take back his fate, and give General Li another chance to make meritorious service and atone for his crimes!"

Emperor Zhu Wen of Liang was very displeased and said: "My heart has been decided, the order has been given, you have no jokes, and others should not say more." ”

shouted at the moment: "Liu Zhijun, take the order!"

Liu Zhijun was stunned when he heard this, looked at everyone, and saw that everyone avoided his eyes, and no one stood up to intercede for Li Si'an, knowing that this was also the desire of everyone.

Hurriedly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Minister Liu Zhijun, take the order!"

Emperor Zhu Wen of Liang said loudly: "I now order you to be the general of Zezhou City and conquer the generalissimo of Luzhou soldiers and horses!"

Liu Zhijun hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Lord Longenβ€”β€”!"

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Zhu Wen of Naliang continued: "In addition, Fan Junshi and Liu Chongba are ordered to be the vanguards, and Niu Cunjie is the envoy of pacification. ”

When the three of them heard this, they also hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground and kowtowed "bang bang" to thank them.

The people he had just appointed were all his cronies he had brought from the capital.

Everything was arranged, he was full of confidence and was full of ambition, and he was going to attack Luzhou City.

In his heart, he thought that after his own redeployment, he would be invincible and invincible.

He personally led a large army to kill Luzhou City.

Along the way, they trampled and destroyed thousands of fertile fields, and looted countless people's wealth.

When the army came to the city of Luzhou, but saw the banner on the city of Luzhou, the army was neat, the walls were strict, and the soldiers were waiting for the enemy.

I muttered in my heart, this is really not something that can be attacked in a while!

This was a hit of cowardice in my heart, and my emotions were naturally affected, and the arrogance at the beginning instantly turned into despair.

Although Emperor Zhu Wen of Liang knew better than anyone else what kind of enemy he was facing, because he saw the couplet on the city wall, he was angry and saw the determination of the general who defended the city of Luzhou to defend Luzhou City to the death.

He even felt an inexplicable fear in his heart, and in the vague illusion that it seemed that the head of the messenger was not hanging on the city gate, but his own head, and he felt a chill down his spine.

But how could he, as the king of a country, retreat from the battle? He had to play an exemplary role even if he was stubborn.

He trembled in his heart, but he had to fight hard, pulled out the sword in his waist, and waved it at the wall of Luzhou, shouting hysterically: "All the soldiers listen to the order, attack the city β€”β€”!"

The Liang army received the order, like a tide, and like locusts everywhere in the year of famine, surging towards the city of Luzhou.

Before they could get near, the arrows of the city rained down like a mountain and a sea.

The Liang Jun in the front row was shot down in a large area, and the one in the back stepped on the corpse in front and continued to rush forward.

Because everyone has no way to retreat, the military discipline is strict, only allowed to advance, not backward, and those who are behind have the right to kill those in front.

So that Liang Jun seems to be brave and fearless, but in fact, there is no way and he is forced to be helpless.

In this way, people piled up and trampled on people, and the Liang army finally stepped over the moat and attacked under the city wall.

Immediately followed by the Liang army, he began to build a cloud ladder to attack the city.

Liang Jun stepped on the ladder and began to climb desperately towards the head of the city. But halfway up the road, the bricks and stones were thrown down. The Liang soldiers were beaten to the head and bled out, and they fell down from the ladder one after another.

Then the soldiers who followed climbed again, and when they were halfway up, the people on it began to pour viscous liquid on the Liang army's body again.

Then he threw the lit torch down and landed on the liquid soldier. Suddenly the flames burned, and Liang Jun cried wolf howls one by one, and fell down from it one by one, and the ladder was also burned.

The soldiers, covered in flames, hit the bodies of the other soldiers and set the other soldiers on fire.

Suddenly, the soldiers besieging the city turned into a sea of fire, and the sound of crying resounded in the sky.

Zhu Wen, the Emperor of Liang, who had been supervising the battle behind him, saw that most of the Liang troops attacking the city were damaged, and he was dumbfounded for a while, and said with a long sigh: "This Luzhou soldier is so brave and tenacious, it is really the mis......fortune of my Liang Dynasty!"

His words not only discouraged the surrounding generals, but also made them lose their spirits, and the strength of blowing their beards and staring at them on weekdays disappeared.

The two pioneers, Fan Junshi and Liu Chongba, who had just been appointed, wanted to show their talents in front of the emperor, so that the emperor felt that he had not looked away from the two. So he took the initiative to ask for help, and led a thousand light cavalry crossbowmen to cover the besieging soldiers.

The emperor Zhu Wen couldn't think of any good way at this time, so he had to nod and agree.

The two have also just taken office, and they are full of ambition and arrogance. Now a thousand crossbowmen were selected, and the prancing horse came to the moat.

An order was given, but the arrow was shot towards the city like a locust.

At that time, Li Sizhao, the general who defended the city, was laughing happily in order to repel the repeated attacks of the Liang army, and never dreamed that the arrows would rain in front of him.

suddenly, but I felt a heart-piercing pain in my foot. When he looked down, an arrow was shooting at his foot.

The boots were stained red with blood, and he couldn't help but let out a loud "Ahβ€”β€”!hhhh

When the surrounding soldiers saw it, they were shocked, and hurriedly rushed forward to support him who was crumbling.

He kept shouting: "General Liβ€”β€”! how are you?

At this time, the eyes of the soldiers at the head of the city were all on Li Sizhao's body, and their eyes were full of melancholy and panic.

They knew they couldn't do without General Lee, who was the backbone of these people. With him, Luzhou City is there, if he falls, everyone doesn't know what the consequences will be!

Li Sizhao knew very well in his heart that he couldn't fall down if he said anything now. He had to hold on, he knew his place in the hearts of his brothers.

He is a banner in their hearts, this banner must be waved in the wind, the soldiers of the whole city can be unstoppable, he wants to pick up the burden of guarding Luzhou City, and it is not time to rest.

He pushed away the soldiers who were holding him with his hands, endured the great pain of the arrow that had been shot into the bone of his foot, and with a "hey" sound, he pulled out the arrow, and a stream of blood spurted out like an arrow.

When the soldiers in front of him saw this, they exclaimed, rushed forward, and tried to help him again, but he pushed him away angrily, shouting: "What is this little injury? I didn't make it ...... face!"

"Hahaha......" followed by a burst of laughter, "It's okay, it's all about a thorn." ”

As he spoke, he threw the arrow at the city and shouted: "Brothers, we must defend Luzhou City with all our might, and we must not let the Liang army advance another half a step!"

Seeing that their commander was so heroic and fearless, which of the generals was not moved? Praying that General Li really wouldn't have any major problems, Qi said: "Please rest assured, as long as we have a breath of air, we will resolutely guard Luzhou City and never let the Liang army advance another half a step!"

For a while, the sound of this bold statement came and went, from the head of the city to the end of the city, and then from the end of the city to the head of the city, resounding through the sky, and the sound shook the valley.

When the Liang army heard this, not only was he discouraged, but most of his morale was naturally lost.

When Emperor Zhu Wen of Liang heard this group of passionate oaths, he was even more discouraged. He knew clearly in his heart that with these Liang troops led by him, it would be difficult to conquer the soldiers of Luzhou, because they were crushed by them in terms of momentum.

The momentum of the 500,000 army led by himself can't keep up with the soldiers of this city, what the hell is he going to say?!

Seeing that this Luzhou city could not be attacked for a while, Emperor Zhu Wen of Liang ordered the army to retreat five miles away, set up camp, and attack again in the coming day.

On the second day, Zhu Wen led the army to attack the city again, but it was still no different from yesterday, with many casualties and no progress.

It was like this for several days, and seeing that Luzhou City was difficult to capture, Emperor Zhu Wen of Liang cried with a sad face and said, "Generals, do you have any good ideas?"

The generals, you look at me, I look at you, all of them drooped their heads dumbly, and they didn't know how to answer Emperor Zhu Wen's question after all......
