Chapter 280: The Aftermath of Dongcheng
Now that the Great Sui is shaking, Fan Zigai is very optimistic about Wu Guogong, so he has always had great goodwill, and he really doesn't want Wu Guogong to finally embark on the road of "high merit and earthquake master", either die or oppose!
It's like Yang Su, the king of Yue......
can become the nine kings of the Great Sui, which is not the pillar of the Great Sui Empire, who has made immortal feats and brilliant achievements.
Now it is the death of the dead, the retreat of the hidden, and there is not much merit in it.
Yang Su, the king of Yue, was once the first general of the Great Sui, but first faked his death, and then rebelled, and was finally sniped to death by the Duke of Wuguo, which makes people sigh!
Everyone around Fan Zigai was silent, whether it was Fan Zigai or Wu Guogong, it was not easy for them to talk about it, it was best to remain silent.
Everyone had to admit that as soon as Wu Guogong shouted the command of "surrender and not kill", the resistance of the anti-army was significantly reduced, and more and more anti-army surrendered their weapons, making the victory balance quickly tilt towards the Sui side.
When the prince of Wuguo led the military guards to the foot of the east city wall, the number of people who surrendered increased dramatically, and those who still stayed at the foot of the wall, waiting to leave from the wall ladder, basically chose to surrender.
If you don't surrender, you're dead!
Ants are still greedy for life, let alone people?!
"Withdraw!"
Seeing that part of the Sui army began to land on the wall ladder, they continued to pursue and kill the rebels. Wu Xin weighed it and ordered rationally.
Now the wall ladder is crowded with anti-army, although the anti-army on the wall has not indiscriminately bombarded and killed for the time being, preventing the Sui army from climbing. However, when enough Sui troops climb the ladder, the rebels will definitely counterattack, and then the Sui army will suffer great losses.
Anyway, Wu Xin himself was reluctant to let the silver-armored guards climb the wall ladder, so he could only stop in moderation and order the withdrawal of the army!
"When, when, when......"
The clear and melodious sound of the golden gong echoed in Huairen City and lingered on the bloody battlefield.
The Sui army, which was densely covered with Huairen City, retreated like a tide, leaving corpses and blood everywhere. And took countless prisoners with him.
The once prosperous Huairen City has turned into a bloody ruin after this bloody battle.
The soldiers of both sides died in the small Huairen City, more than 500,000 of them, and the bloody battle spread all over every place, the buildings basically collapsed, the beacon fire burned all over the city, the corpses were stacked on top of each other, and the blood stained the ground red
The tide of the Sui army pressed hundreds of thousands of prisoners. With the joy and pride of the victors, they returned to the other side of Huairen City, and were greeted with countless cheers and praises.
Suddenly, the cheers, approvals, and noisy atmosphere suddenly froze, and they all looked at the back of the team, their expressions full of fear, admiration, and rejoicing......
The first one was riding a golden lion, with a cape. The brocade-clad Wu Guogong is wrapped in a thick blood mist, but he does not show embarrassment, but has a kind of power that oppresses people's hearts. This is the real general who has returned from a hundred battles!
Behind Wu Guogong, there are more than 1,000 Wufu worshippers and guards in different costumes, which are basically bloodstained and turned into bloody people.
The last side. It was a neat queue of silver-armored guards, a touch of bright silver in the blood, as dazzling as the sun.
It's this army of silver armor and silver armor. Changed the entire tide of the battle and turned the battlefield around.
Now, the silver armor of this group of troops has basically turned into blood armor, covered with dust and debris, and covered with all kinds of traces of fierce battles. In this way, the occasional bright silver is even more dazzling!
This is the glory of this group of silver armor elite soldiers!
"Lord!"
When Wu Xin and the others returned, Li Shimin was one step ahead of Fan Zigai, Li Gonggong and others, nervous, ashamed and excited, and shouted inexplicably.
Perhaps, this is the most sincere time that Li Shimin calls the "lord", and it is a title from the heart.
Wu Xin and the others are taking responsibility for his mistakes!
"Wu Guogong!"
"Left-behind adults!"
Fan Zigai, Li Gonggong, Cai Yan, Li Yuan and others stepped forward to salute respectfully and politely, not because of anything else, but because Wu Guogong turned the tide of the battle in blood, which is enough to make everyone respect!
At this time, Li Yuan, who was in charge of all things underground, had already withdrawn, and also brought out many great cultivators and qi refining powerhouses, and transferred Li Tang and the others, especially Li Yuanba and Li Tang Tieqi. Coupled with the arrival of the Miyagi Forbidden Army, this is also one of the main reasons for the withdrawal of the anti-army, and not only because of the Silver Armor Guard.
However, Zhuyu is in front, and those indirect factors are subconsciously ignored by everyone!
After a long fierce battle, Wu Xin, who was quite tired, nodded at everyone stubbornly, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice:
"What is the situation? How is the arrangement? If the enemy army attacks again, it will definitely be extremely fierce, and the enemy forces of the other three sides are almost here, and there is absolutely no room for loss at this time! If one more wall is lost, it will be difficult for the eastern capital to be saved!"
Li Shiminjun's face turned red, nervous and embarrassed, nervous and ashamed.
At the end of this battle, the Sui side won a great victory.
However, the price on both sides was very heavy, and it was a real loss of 1,000 to the enemy and 800 to themselves.
Looking at the eastern city wall, the number of Sui troops killed in battle was as high as about 240,000. There are also more than 200,000 civilians who have been killed by the disaster, and the details have not yet been examined, and the real casualties are heavy.
On the Huairen battlefield alone, there were more than 100,000 Sui troops killed.
Even 10,000 silver-armored guards were killed in the battle. There are also five martial arts enshriners (great monks), and more than two hundred martial arts guards died in battle.
Of course, the cost of the enemy army was even heavier, and the Sui army was confused with 100,000 rebels in the early days, and later attacked the city, killing 50,000 to 100,000 people. Then the siege of the city, intermittently killed about 100,000.
The most tragic is the Huairen battlefield, because facing the East City Gate, it is the main battlefield in Dongcheng District. The enemy threw in as many as six or seven hundred thousand troops, and in the end there was not a single one in ten who successfully retreated.
In total, the number of enemy casualties was about 700,000, which was three times that of the Sui army!
"Ahem, ahem, tell the left-behind adults, everything underground has been resolved, the old man used the temple relics, blocked the passages, and later mobilized some molten iron to irrigate, and left a person who is good at listening to the earth to test, there should be no more problems!"
Li Yuan couldn't bear to see his son embarrassed, and he was afraid that he would really be punished, so he hurriedly coughed a few times and took the initiative to answer. After a pause, he quickly added:
"All the things in the underground have been registered and sent to the government office, and please stay behind to check it!"
Generally speaking, such a huge amount of treasure should be sent to Miyagi and handed over to His Royal Highness King Yue.
Li Yuan did this, obviously to curry favor with Wu Xin.
In addition, Li Yuan's title is the same as Wu Xin's, but his official position is several levels higher, although he is honored as "Lord Left-behind", he will not claim to be a subordinate, Li Yuan is not so cheeky!
Wu Xin thought about it, pretended to be tired and asked: "Well, this matter can be checked by Mr. Mingji, Lord Shangshu and Gonggong Li, this battle is a little overdrafted, and his mind is tired, so he is lazy for the time being!"
"Uh......"
Everyone was stunned, Tang Guogong Li Yuan's move was obviously to curry favor with Wu Guogong and give Wu Guogong a chance to enrich his private pockets and take the opportunity to make a fortune.
Unexpectedly, Wu Guogong, who has always been known for his greed, lust, and arrogance, would refuse to send such fat to his mouth.
However, looking at the current appearance of Wu Guogong and Yinjia Wuwei, everyone was a little relieved, and guessed that Wu Guogong wanted to avoid suspicion, otherwise he would not be tired to this extent, and he didn't even have the time and energy to "take money".
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel a kind of admiration from the bottom of their hearts.
Hundreds of people are diverse, and no one is perfect. No matter how greedy and lustful Wu Guogong is, murderous and arrogant, there is no ambiguity in the matter, enough is enough!
"The things in the office, some trivial matters, really shouldn't bother Wu Guogong! We will live up to Wu Guogong's expectations, and Wu Guogong will rest with peace of mind to prevent the enemy army!"
Fan Zigai thought for a moment, and answered repeatedly, but he glanced at Gonggong Li vaguely, a little sad and bitter.
Duke Wu Guo can not take it, but His Royal Highness King Yue can't refuse to give it, otherwise it will damage the name of King Yue, and the eastern capital has to rely on Duke Wu Guo. However, how to give, how much to give, there is a headache!
"Well, the father will retire temporarily, and notify me as soon as possible!"
Wu Xin took advantage of the situation, and solemnly admonished: "In addition, remember to guard the east city wall, this is the top priority! Also, urgently ask the imperial court for help, and urge all reinforcements to hurry up and rush ......"
What everyone doesn't know is that Wu Xin is now also anxious to leave this place and sort out the treasure, but he is just sorting out his own treasure.
According to Wu Xin's estimate, the treasure in his "Fire Divine Order" may be much less than that handed over by Li Yuan, but it is more valuable, and it is the true essence of the Emperor Beast Temple!
"Wu Guogong go slowly, you can rest assured here, if this is the case, we can't stop the anti-army, we should apologize with death!"
Li Yuan patted his chest and reassured, and glanced at his son Li Shimin.
The benefits you just gave should be reciprocated by Wuxin immediately!
Li Yuan risked offending Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and Feng Xian of the imperial court, and sent the treasure to the government to indirectly curry favor with Wu Xin. The most important thing is to forgive his son Li Shimin, the crime of dereliction of duty.
Wu Xin thought for a while, and said briskly: "Dongcheng District, Lord Shangshu is personally in charge, with the assistance of General Cai Yan and Elder Sun Xuanda. General Li Shimin Li is in charge of the people's livelihood affairs in the whole eastern capital, with the assistance of Tang Guogong, Jianzhong Hou and others!"
Li Shimin's face darkened, Wu Guogong arranged it like this, obviously he didn't trust his ability, and he went directly from being a commander in charge of the military and politics to a civilian in charge of people's livelihood!
"Thank you, Lord Liushou!" Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and he thanked him with great joy, and kept secretly glancing at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin is young and a little gloomy. In Li Yuan's view, where is this punishment? It is basically a promotion!
Before Li Shimin was only in charge of Dongcheng District, although he was a military and political leader, he faced the main force of the anti-army and Yang Xuangan. Now, although he is in charge of the people's livelihood and civil affairs, he is facing the entire Eastern Capital, with more power and no danger!
"Everyone has their own strengths, don't think too much!"
Li Shimin smiled bitterly and was about to thank him, but Wu Xin patted Li Shimin on the shoulder and comforted him, and without waiting for Li Shimin to respond, he beckoned everyone to leave.
In fact, the loss of the east city wall this time really has nothing to do with Li Shimin's military ability, and it can't be defended if it is replaced by Wu Xin or anyone.
Wu Xin's arrangement is subconsciously misleading everyone's thinking and secretly characterizing Li Shimin.
Of course, Li Shimin himself is indeed very suitable for people's livelihood politics, with the chaos and bloodshed of the previous war, Li Shimin was able to withdraw from the people of the eight cities outside the east city wall in time, and appeased everyone's emotions, which is really a bit against the sky and has extraordinary ability.
This is Li Shimin's talent...... Anmin!
