Chapter 8 Fear
Without waiting for the debris outside the city to be cleaned up, the thunder on the city wall said to Yang Tian: "Yang Tian, I have a suggestion that is suitable for you to do." ”
"Huh, what's a good thing?" Yang Tian was surprised by Lei Ming's words, but he knew that Lei Ming's proposals to him in the past two years were always not good, and of course they were not bad.
Lei Ming looked at the northwest with his back hand for a while, it was there that Tong Wenzheng died of illness back then, I don't know if the cemetery is okay? He raised his right arm and pointed at the distance, and said: "Take advantage of the victory to pursue, take Haoyue down!"
Yang Tian touched his smooth chin, nodded, and said, "Well, I want to charge some interest, otherwise Haotian will dare to harass us next time!"
That night, Yang Tian announced the order to pursue the Haotian army the next day. In addition to being happy and happy, the soldiers also seized the time to rest. Because according to today's two victories, they basically don't need to die, they can blast the enemy into a dare, wait for their slaughter like a lamb, and give them military merits!
As soon as it was dawn the next day, the excited soldiers got up early to pack their bags. The cart was loaded with ammunition and steel cannons that had been prepared for a long time, pulled by oxen, and guarded by special combat personnel, and the mighty conquest team set off.
All the way over the mountains and mountains, paving ditches and building bridges, the team finally came to the outside of Haoyue City before the sun went down after grinding the momentum. The soldiers stationed at both ends of the bridge outside Haoyue City had already heard how powerful the Thundering Army was, and they fled without a trace. Ling Yang Tian secretly said that it was a fluke that they did not break the bridge.
Not far after crossing the bridge, I saw that a small number of soldiers were still listlessly guarding the city wall of Haoyue. Yang Tianming soldiers gnawed some dry food outside the city and carried it down on a gun carriage. Aim for the city gates.
The night came as scheduled, and soon after the torches were lit, the bright moon rose from the east, spreading a clear glow on the dark earth, leaving long shadows on the trees and people on the ground. Insects, frogs, and nightingales also chirped to form a beautiful symphony when they saw the moon in the sky. What a peaceful scene!
Yang Tian stood on his horse and shouted to the deserted Haoyue City a hundred meters away: "Yang Tian is here! Haoyue's guard will come out to answer!" The abrupt voice instantly broke the calm night.
There was a commotion in Haoyue City for a while, and a general ran out and responded loudly on the city wall: "I, Wei Wushan, temporarily guard Haoyue City! I don't know why you led the army here?"
There was a three-point timidity in the words. Yang Tian, Lin Chong, Zhang Shan, and Sun Ming laughed loudly when they heard it. Yang Tian stopped laughing. Said: "Knowingly, if you don't open the city and surrender, I'll send you to see Feng Feifan!"
The audience was silent, and even the insects were frightened to stop.
If Kaesong surrenders, he will be spurned to death; Death in battle can still leave a good name. Not afraid of strong enemies. Wei Wushan was ruthless. shouted: "My life is here, if you have the ability, come and take it." ”
After saying that, he actually stood on the battlements with torches in his hand. Raise your voice and shout: "Haotian soldiers, we swear to live and die with Haoyue, and those who are afraid of death are not Haotian people!"
"Hey, swear to protect Haoyue to the death!" The soldiers on the city wall were so excited by that sentence that they opened their throats and screamed.
"Sniper, kill Wei Wushan for me first!" Yang Tian hated his teeth, this person actually dared to stand up to him and sweep his face when he was completely weak, he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
As soon as his words fell, the skilled sniper fired three shots, and Wei Wushan screamed "ah~" in response, and fell off the battlements and landed on the city wall, and there was no response.
Dead silence, the defenders of Haoyue City are dead silent, such a long distance, the temporary defenders were killed at once, what can they do for these ordinary soldiers to defend the city?
Yang Tian waited for a long time, but he didn't see Haoyue City reacting, and he was impatient, so he ordered another snipe.
"Woohoo" twice, and then I heard two short screams of death!
The soldiers of Haoyue City began to panic, the guards on the city wall began to commotion, and the order in the city began to be chaotic!
"Don't you open the city gate quickly!Do you want me to kill!" Yang Tian's penetrating voice shook the Haoyue soldiers a little sober, and the soldiers near the city gate pounced on the city gate to open the city gate with one arrow step.
The rest of the soldiers also threw their weapons on the ground one after another, abandoned their troops and surrendered......
As a result, Yang Tian's army took Haoyue bloodlessly. When counting the prisoners of war, they found that there were only 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people guarding Haoyue, and those who could run had already run away.
Yang Tian was speechless for a while, just with this little soldier, even if they didn't use guns, they could attack in an instant, because these soldiers of his were all trampled by him I don't know how many times, and the elite soldiers who had been tempered by thousands of times made him have no sense of accomplishment at all.
That night, Yang Tian summoned Lin Chong, Zhang Shan, and Sun Ming to discuss whether to march to Tianyuan in the council room. Yang Tian sat on the chair, leaned over, shrunk his right foot and stepped on the chair, and said, "The soldiers of Haoyue City fled when they heard the news, it can be seen that our army is mighty and strong!
"Hehe, listen to General Yang, General Yang is wise, where you point, we will fight, and we will never fight the west!" Zhang Shan patted his chest and shouted loudly, patting his farts wildly.
"Yes, yes, yes! We follow your pace!" Sun Ming really admired Yang Tian, and when he saw Zhang Shan's approval, he also hurriedly expressed his position.
Yang Tian turned his head to look at Lin Chong, who was sitting on the right side of the body, and said with a smile: "My good nephew, what do you think?"
Lin Chong raised his head, glanced at Zhang Shan and Sun Ming, and frowned, "Senior Uncle, Lin Chong thinks this move is a bit reckless. ”
As long as he was more calm, Yang Tian meditated in his heart, with an approving look on his face, and asked, "Why?"
Lin Chong opened his mouth and said, "The battle line is too long, and there will be problems with supplies." The distance is too far, and the soldiers will be exhausted and unable to fight again. There are many masters in Haotian, I'm afraid I can't prevent them from sneaking up. In case, in case our guns are robbed, it will be a big trouble. ”
"Well, that's the truth. Yang Tian, who was originally full of confidence to go to the Tianyuan Battle, couldn't help but rest when he heard it.
Zhang Shan was embarrassed when he heard this, blushed and glanced left and right, and when he saw that Sun Ming was not staring at him, he felt a little relieved. If the army really ran to the abyss, and in case, he would not be able to undo his mistake even if he died.
Therefore, Yang Tian sent people to report to Lei Ming on the one hand, and settled the people and prisoners of war in Haoyue City on the other.
The people of Haoyue City saw that Yang Tian's army did not make any moves to disturb the people. After hiding in fear for two days, he came to the street to move, and the dull Haoyue City gradually became lively.
Early in the morning, before the sunlight cleared the fog, Yang Tian and Zhang Shan abandoned the Tang knife and shuttled through the streets of Haoyue City in plain clothes. It's not bleak!
Yang Tian walked in front with his back hand. Turning around, he asked Zhang Shan in a low voice: "Zhang Shan, you see that the people of Haoyue are all going to die, what's the use of taking it." ”
Zhang Shan Khan. Take the first two steps. "This is not what you and General Lei often say. There are many fertile fields in the vicinity of Haoyue, and the products are abundant and easy to feed people? After we get Haoyue, our grain will not be tight. ”
"Hmm. Reasonable. I almost forgot. Looking at these timid and backward people, they are confused about their original intentions. Yang Tian nodded and walked forward, he wanted to continue to see if there were any people or things in this Haoyue that deserved special attention.
At the end of the street, there was a small teahouse, and the six tables in the teahouse were full of people, all of whom craned their necks to listen to an old man's speech.
"The wealth of Hexi City is really not something that those of us who have never been out can imagine. He seemed to talk for a long time, took a sip of the tea bowl, and continued, "The road surface there is very wide and smooth, so even if you walk with your eyes closed, you don't have to worry about tripping over the road and falling." There is no stench of dung in the city that can be smelled here in Haoyue......"
It turns out that our Hexi is so good, Yang Tian meditated in his heart. He said hello to Zhang Shan and walked into the teahouse.
The shopkeeper was a gray-haired, short-bearded old man, and he took two steps up and said, "This little brother, I'm sorry, it's full of ...... today."
Yang Tian smiled slightly and interrupted: "It's okay, I'm just coming in to listen to this old man's opinion." Just stand. ”
The shopkeeper hesitated slightly, then said with a smile: "Okay, I'll pour a cup of tea for the little brother." After saying that, he turned around and poured tea.
The old man who had spoken looked back at the new listener, smiled knowingly, and continued: "I think the cart there seems to be bigger, but it is not as difficult as ours. I tried it once, old man, and that kind of car can be pushed with a slight push. It's just that the old man is shallow, and he doesn't know why he ...... it."
"Hehe, that's because the axle is equipped with pulleys, and of course it saves effort to push. Yang Tian didn't know when he squeezed behind the old man, he listened to the old man's words, and couldn't help but interject.
Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Yang Tian, a handsome young man. The old man turned his head to look at Yang Tian, and said with a smile: "This little brother looks very raw, it doesn't seem to be from here, right?"
Yang Tian bowed his hand gracefully and said loudly: "Hello uncles, my name is Yang Tian, and I am indeed not a local. His low-profile address to the crowd made the audience applaud.
The old man nodded, stroked his white beard with his right hand and said, "Well, it's rare for a young man to be so polite. Not bad, not bad. ”
"Awards, awards. Yang Tian smiled and said, "I'm from Hexi, you don't have to worry about your life in the future, because in a year or two, it will be built like Hexi, or even better!"
"Is it true?" whispered questions rang out.
A bold middle-aged man stood up and asked, "Is there any basis for this little brother's words?" In a few more days, Tianyuan City will send a large army over, or General Feng Feifan will come back to attack Haoyue City, not to mention anything else, our crops alone will suffer heavy losses, and we will not be guaranteed to eat." A few more round-trips, and we'll be ruined. ”
Yang Tian couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard this, and said, "Hehe, Feng Feifan died in battle the day before yesterday, and the defenders of Haoyue fell when they heard the wind last night, what courage can they have to come again? Besides, the Hexi City that Feng Feifan led the army to attack has no losses at all!"
"That's true!" the middle-aged man who asked asked loudly.
The old man who started the lecture spoke at this time: "This is true, old man, I can confirm it." Because he is the number two person on the Hexi side, Yang Tian!"
"Scared?~" Everyone stood up and retreated, and the hall creaked.
"Don't worry, don't worry! Listen to the old man!" the old man stood up and shouted, "You see that he is polite and polite, will he hurt you!"
"Old man, are you the one they invited to say good things for them!" a questioning voice rang out viciously outside the crowd.
"Presumptuous!" the old man shouted, dragged out a figure and jumped out of the crowd, grabbed a young man's chest with his right hand, and lifted it up. He said angrily: "I, Luo Ming, have been walking in the world for 40 years, and no one has ever said that I am not a half-sentence!
The smell of urine spread, and it turned out that the young man was so frightened that he peed his pants and was shivering.
Luo Ming shook his right hand, threw the young man on the street, and then swept towards the roof, and disappeared after a while, and a sentence came from afar: "Yang boy, come with the old man!"
"Zhang Shan, go back by yourself. I'll take a look!" After speaking, Yang Tian also jumped onto the roof and disappeared for a while.
Leaving a full hall of listeners standing with their faces looking at each other, how could such a high-ranking person bother to deceive these civilians? (To be continued......
