Chapter 530 My Great Proclamation, Dead 54
The cavalry led by Lin Zhi outside the city of Yongzhou had already left the field, and the main force of the frontier army immediately opened up the battle line after arriving.
Cheng Caitai was sweating profusely with a spatula and stir-frying the fried meat in the big iron pan. As a food delivery officer, Cheng Caitai was excited by the longing eyes of the cavalry as soon as he arrived.
"It's dinner, it's dinner!"
As soon as the gong sounded, the cavalrymen who were hungry all the way came to eat in batches in an orderly manner.
Lin Zhi was holding a rice bowl, and there was braised pork piled on top of the big white rice, which whetted the appetite.
The war horses were provided with food and grass early in the morning, and they were full, and they sat down behind the main force to rest when the horses were full.
The smell of meat did not affect the generals and soldiers who were commanding the formation to attack the city.
As a punishment from heaven, Qi Yuan, who sent the frontier army back to his hometown to have a full meal and a lot of money, has been worshiped as a god by the frontier army.
The soldiers on the battlefield could not see tomorrow, but the current life Qi Yuan brought to them was already satisfying, so everyone was willing to believe that once His Majesty returned to the throne, their days would only increase.
no doubt.
The emperor regards his ministers as brothers and sisters, and the ministers regard the emperor as his confidant.
"Brothers, hurry up! The scouts sent by Mr. Jing have arrived. Try to let your majesty enter the city in the afternoon."
The centurion shouted encouragement to his soldiers.
Everyone's morale was high after hearing the words, and they worked hard to push the wooden throwing platform into the range.A shell has been put on the platform.
The handsome flag fluttered, and Meng Ran, as the main general, looked at the strong city wall of Yongzhou.
"Command, attack the city!"
The command flag was waved in the hands of the herald, and the siege order was issued, and the knocking sounded in unison.
The soldiers on the city wall saw the black sphere flying towards them and raised their shields to avoid it in time.
It's just that the "sphere" flew to the top of the city tower and made a thunderous explosion.
The turret collapsed suddenly, and the sawdust from the explosion scattered and pierced into the armor together with the iron pieces of the shells. The heat wave brought by the residual power directly lifted the surrounding soldiers into the air.
The soldiers fell to the tower and were killed on the spot. The power of the shells made everyone panic.
But it was accompanied by black spheres that flew like rain.
Explosions sounded one after another, and the solid city wall was blown into pits and craters.
"Bombard the city gate!"
The shell adjusted its angle and landed in front of the city gate.
The city gate made of fine iron also began to deform. Yongzhou is close to the northern border, and this heavy city gate is the only one.
But at this moment, the rock-solid city gate also fell under the artillery fire.
At the beginning of the siege, Yu Kaiping kissed the city wall and arranged for the defense of the city.But the weapons of the frontier army caught him off guard and he was powerless to fight back.
Yu Kaiping's face was covered with blood, and the blood flowed from his left hand limply.
"General, please go down the tower!"
Yu Kaiping was also injured by shells, and his sharp eyes stared in the direction of Shuai Qi.
He could see the smoke rising from behind the main force of the frontier army. They were eating without any burden.
Under the protection of his personal guards, Yu Kaiping left the city wall and returned to the Yamen Medical Center to bandage his wound.
In front of Yu Kaiping was a sand table, and his cronies and counselors were all frowning.
"The frontier army deliberately exposed breakpoints to lure us to divert our attention. They have such sharp weapons, even if we have cavalry, it will not help.
What is the purpose of this temptation? "
Yu Kaiping was silent for a long time, "Any news about Land Rover's cavalry?"
As soon as Yu Kaiping finished speaking, messenger soldiers came to report.
Looking at the news on the letter paper, Yu Kaiping was so angry that he punched the table and his veins burst out.
"Land Rover is confused!"
Yu Kaiping weakly vented his anger on Lu Rover, but in his heart he was saying that he was confused.
"The breakpoint does exist. The central army of the former prince of Ming County must be true. The former prince used himself as a bait to blur our judgment. This is why the main force arrived in Yongzhou City quietly."
Yu Kaiping had a clear mind, and the main force was huge. The former crown prince used the cavalry charge to go deep into the city to oppress his psychology, and then used the breakpoint of the marching speed to give him a chance to attack to attract the remaining troops he could only mobilize.
His decision to shrink his troops and stick to Yongzhou City fell into the enemy's trap and created an opportunity for the main force to pass unimpeded.
And the reason why he firmly believes that the main force in Ming County is all due to the bait of the former prince!
He underestimated the courage of the former prince too much, thinking that the former prince must act with the main force.
Yu Kaiping's heart suddenly brightened, looking at the enemy's layout on the sand table, the wound burst and the gauze was stained red with anger.
If he doesn't lose, who will lose?He even misread the confrontational opponent!
The former prince must have set off in Ming County now, and the troops around him were no more than [-] to [-]. If he hadn't sent the overly cautious Land Rover and the reckless Mu Xuhui, then last night the cavalry would have been able to forcefully kill the former prince alive!
It's a pity that he made a wrong step, wrong step, and Lu Rover, out of caution, decided that Ming County was a fake target after discovering that the main force was attacking the city, and retreated to help.
Damn, damn it!
Yu Kaiping strode out of the Yamen, but stopped after hearing the sound of gunfire.
"Order Lu Rover to ambush the army of Ming County and capture the former prince alive!"
"If the city gate can't be defended, order the army to retreat."
Yu Kaiping let out a sigh of relief and gave him a military order, and he knew that he was doomed in this battle.
"General, let's retreat first."
Yu Kaiping smelled the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air. Could this be the smell of war in the north?
"Set fire to the city!"
Yu Kaiping gave the final order with fierce eyes and a cold expression.
"General?"
The confidants and counselors looked at the always gentle Yu Kaiping in disbelief and couldn't help but doubt their ears.
Setting fire to the city, what is the difference between this move and the Mongolian people in those border towns?
Of course Yu Kaiping knew that if he did this he would lose the hearts of the people, but once Yongzhou fell, the frontier army would be able to obtain a large amount of supplies and drive straight into Jizhou.
It is even more effortless to seize Jizhou with the advantage of frontier weapons.
His Majesty has no troops to stop the frontier army, and the war in the south has also entered the siege stage. In any case, he must hold back the pace of the frontier army going south to buy time for His Majesty.
Even if it is to set fire to destroy the city.
The hearts of the people, the victor will naturally have the hearts of the people.
"Destroy the city, leave 1 people to fight in the streets, and withdraw the entire army."
Since this Yongzhou City cannot be defended, there is no need to defend it.It's just that the land of Yongzhou, that bratty child can never get it.
It is impossible to leave Yongzhou if it is easy to take a city.
Yu Kaiping's expression was cold at this time, and the counselors were speechless when they saw his firm attitude.
"The general is a barbarian!"
Mo Shenyan's eyes spit fire, and his figure is tall and straight in green clothes.
Mo Shenyan is from Yongzhou, and he is also considered a famous person in Yongzhou. To be able to follow the new dynasty is because Yu Kaiping tried his best to "make friends" with him, and then let his "confidantes" work for the court.
Yu Kaiping kept the news of the former prince from Mo Shenyan, otherwise this pedantic guy would have jumped off the tower like those rebels on the city wall.
Mo Shenyan threw the jade pendant from Yu Kaiping on the ground viciously, and then strode away towards the common people.
"General?"
The murderous intent flashed in Yu Kaiping's eyes, "It's okay, let the remaining people set fire to leave and retreat to Yongguan after the city is broken."
"Yes!"
The military order was passed from the government office to the army, and the army began to withdraw.
Mo Shenyan said that one person's strength is limited, even if he told the people, it would be useless.
A group of troublemakers, the swords of his army are still sharp.
Yu Kaiping's decision must be said to be ruthless and decisive. Trying to preserve the containment of troops is better than sticking to it.
After all, he understands that he is not trying to defeat the frontier army to create a myth, he is trying to delay time.
After the first round of artillery fire, the gate of the city was already in danger, and there were not a single soldier on the wall.
Looking at the empty city wall, Meng Ran frowned and felt uneasy.
Soon there was billowing smoke in the city.
"No, they're going to set fire to the city!"
Meng Ran's expression changed drastically.
"Order the three armies to break the city!"
The cavalry rested for a while, and Lin Zhi led the cavalry to charge with a spear in his hand after receiving the military order.
Meng Ran was sitting in the town, and the infantrymen, armed with shields, pressed down on the city gate in a uniform manner.
After the training arranged by Qi Yuan, today's frontier army has been able to achieve a uniform pace.The sound of neat footsteps is the drum of war breaking the city, which is daunting.
The only remaining soldiers on the city wall saw the two tiger and wolf divisions fighting, and almost wanted to leave first.
Yu Kaiping's movements were fast, but the frontier army broke through the city even faster.
They have seen the tactic of burning the city and walking away a lot when fighting the Mongolians, and they are naturally familiar with it.
The walls around the city gate made of fine iron have been damaged, and they collapsed when hit by siege equipment.
Lin Zhi took the lead, and the horse's hooves clattered on the fine iron.
Entering Yongzhou City, the cavalry on the Qingshiban chased and killed the retreating Yu Kaiping army.
Wang Jinxing helped with the terrain of Yongzhou, and Lin Jing also made a record of this scene.
Therefore, tens of thousands of cavalry rushed directly to the south gate in an orderly manner to pursue and kill them.
Yu Kaiping frowned, the frontier army broke through the city too fast, it took only two hours from the siege to the break.
Although he was chased by the cavalry, fortunately the army had already evacuated early, and the city was doused with kerosene and the fire spread within a short time.
Yu Kaiping looked at the flames and thick smoke, and the cries of the common people became farther and farther away.
It's a pity that if the city is broken for another quarter of an hour at night, those rioters will be able to block the main road of the cavalry.
However, the soaring fire managed to keep the main force of the frontier army.
Meng Ran was still worried that it was the enemy's trap, but he understood after seeing the people running away in the city.
Yu Kaiping looked like a gentleman, but he was actually a cruel villain.
"Give way, dismiss the people."
Meng Ran knew Qi Yuan's benevolence, so he didn't dare to let the army block the way for the people to escape.
The lack of water in the north is no surprise to Yongzhou.There are no rivers here, and daily drinking water depends entirely on well water.The enemy used kerosene, and the fire spread very quickly.
At this time, the city of Yongzhou was already facing a heat wave.
Putting out the fire cannot be saved in a short while.
"Order the centurion, and the five teams will take turns to go into the city to rescue the people.
Do your best with your own safety in mind. "
Although Meng Ran was kind-hearted under the influence of Qi Yuan, he was also afraid of being a trap just after the siege was over, not to mention that he cared more about these soldiers who were born and died with him in the northern border than the common people.
The cost of training an elite soldier is too high, and Meng Ran is reluctant to let them be lost in the fire that is impossible to save.
Mo Shenyan rolled up his gown, poured a bucket of water on his body and plunged into the fire.
"Mother! Mother!"
The young boy sitting on the bed who was choked awake felt the heat wave of the fire and did not save himself, but cried hoarsely like a five-year-old child.
Mo Shenyan covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, looking for the sound of crying to search for rescue.
The Cheng family was just an ordinary merchant, only Qin Shuang, a widowed mother with two children, ran a restaurant.
The soldiers came suddenly, and they poured fuel on the door as soon as they entered. They even set their sights on Qin Shuang's daughter and started to snatch her away.
With the order to set fire to destroy the city, the bottom line of the soldiers was also broken, and evil came to the fore.
If not for the urging of some generals, I am afraid that both mother and daughter will not be able to fall.
It's just that Qin Shuang protected her daughter, but put her stupid son in danger.
The mother and daughter watched the fire and wept bitterly, not daring to look away, staring at the door intently.
Qin Shuang knelt on the ground and prayed to the gods.
Although Mo Shenyan is not uncompromisingly good at learning the six arts of a gentleman, the continuous saving of people still consumes a lot of his energy.
If he hadn't helped the tyrant to do evil, how could the people in the city have suffered such a disaster.
The dog official surnamed Wu is a jackal, and Yu Kaiping is a tiger and a leopard!They are all evil spirits that eat people!
Mo Shenyan's eyes were so smoked that tears flowed down his face, and his clothes began to heat up under the high temperature.
Mo Shenyan looked over the collapsed wooden beam and saw the boy who had fainted from the black smoke.
Hastily climbed over the wooden beam and walked over to pick up the man on his back and ran outside.
Mo Shenyan, who was devoted to saving people, didn't notice the movement outside the door, but quickened his pace when he saw the bright light of the exit.
Lin Zhi led the cavalry in pursuit and killed tens of thousands of enemy troops, but that was just a broken tail for Yu Kaiping to survive.
Lin Zhi left tens of thousands of people scattered to check for traces, while he led people to rescue the people.
He and Lin Jing are brothers, so he understands how much his elder brother and His Majesty attach importance to the hearts of the people.What's more, he has experienced the hardships of the border town since he was a child, but he has never seen the appearance of this purgatory on earth.
Qin Shuang's mother and daughter just saw Mo Shenyan's figure, and the next second they opened their eyes wide and exclaimed.
The beam collapsed under the fire.
At this moment, Mo Shenyan's physical strength had reached its limit, so he could only grit his teeth and roll forward to avoid the crossbeam.
Lin Zhi happened to see this scene, without any hesitation, he hooked Mo Shenyan's belt with his spear and dragged him for a distance.
Immediately the beam fell to the ground, and the entire store was buried in the fire.
"Take people and withdraw first."
It was inconvenient for the cavalry to be in the city, so Lin Zhi gave an order, and together with his subordinates, they pulled Qin Shuang's mother and daughter onto the horses.
Before Qin Shuang could react, the world was spinning for a while before he and his daughter were kidnapped and put on the back of a horse.
Lin Zhi lifted the spear, bent his horse and scooped it up, then piled up Mo Shenyan and put them in front of him, carried them away.
Cavalry rushed out of the city with many people on their backs.
As soon as they left the city, they put the victims in one place and returned to the Chinese army.
There are medical officers wandering around where the victims gather, and soldiers in the city are also carrying people out in an orderly manner.
Qin Shuang held her daughter Cheng Ping who was still in shock in one hand and her unconscious son Cheng An in the other.
Beside him was Mo Shenyan, a lifesaver who was unconscious.
Just as dazed as Qin Shuang were the victims around him.
The spread of the fire has become unstoppable, and it is impossible to enter the city due to lack of water.
After the last batch of soldiers withdrew, everyone could only look at the fire in silence.The victims who survived the catastrophe couldn't help crying loudly.
In addition to smoke and dust, the air was filled with the smell of burning corpses.
Meng Ran raised his head feebly, forcing back the tears.
But he felt a little cold hit his face.Joy burst into Meng Ran's eyes, and he reached out and touched it.
It's raining?
Everyone looked at the sky with bright eyes, the raindrops became denser and denser, and soon the big raindrops fell densely.
It's raining!
The heavy rain that only covered Yongzhou City came suddenly, and it was at this time that Meng Ran received the news that Qi Yuan was about to arrive.
Meng Ran's eyes brightened, and he became more and more determined about the color of destiny on Qi Yuan.
At the same time, Qi Yuan put away the spells in his hands in the team that was marching three miles away, suppressed the fishy sweetness in his throat, and endured the stinging pain in his internal organs with a calm expression without showing a trace.
In fact, Qi Yuan and Lin Jing led the team forward, and they had already seen the flames soaring into the sky from a distance. Qi Yuan lifted the curtain and his face sank like water.
"It seems that you are going to go south as soon as possible."
Seeing the clear sunlight outside, Qi Yuan calmly lowered the curtain and said to Lin Jing calmly.
Lin Jing also understood Yu Kaiping's intention, he wanted to stop the frontier army's pace.
It is too early to divide the troops to go south.
"The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry."
Lin Jing knew that they were pressing too hard, but when she thought of Ye Chen and others in the south, Lin Jing became calmer.
The speed of the march increased, and the team came into Land Rover's sight.
Lu Hu looked at the team in the distance, looked at the flames in the city, and lowered his head in thought.
"General Lu, if you don't do it, you won't have a chance!"
Seeing Lu Hu hesitate, the sender got angry.
Lu Hu turned his head and stared fiercely, Hu Yuan stared as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.
"brute!"
Lu Hu drew the knife backhand and beheaded the herald.
"Big brother!"
Lu Bao's eyes were also red, and his shoulders were shaking with anger.
"Brothers, we are all sons of Yongzhou, blame me for being blind and accepting that this kind of beast is the master, and now I put my brothers' families in danger.
I, Lu Rover, know that my brothers in the army say that I am timid and fearful, but I just don't want my brothers to sacrifice innocently.
Now I, Lu Rover, can't stand my brothers. That bastard Yu Kaiping couldn't hold the city so he set fire to the city. Now the former prince's army is outside the city. Brothers, are you willing to fight with me to save the family in the city? "
Land Rover's nine-foot man yelled in a crying voice.
"Go! Go!"
When everyone saw the fire, they couldn't hold back and wanted to go back to save people.Although they surrendered to Yu Kaiping, they were born and raised in Yongzhou.
Land Rover's leader is cautious, but he is a very loyal and affectionate person.
This time, he lost hesitation when he was stimulated by setting fire to destroy the city, and immediately rushed towards Yongzhou City with ten thousand cavalry regardless of Yu Kaiping's order.
The cavalry at this moment are all concerned about their families in the fire scene, and their fighting spirit is naturally that gods block and kill gods, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas.
The eagle in the sky hovered and fell, and the army stopped to meet the enemy skillfully.
The dust kicked up by the cavalry was flying, and the eyes of the frontier soldiers were all fiery.
After practicing for so long, it was finally their turn.
The soldiers were extremely fast, methodically laying mines and setting up a line of defense to retreat.
As the march approached Yongzhou City, the men sent by Meng Ran also rushed over.
Land Rover was full of murderous intent and took the lead.
Qi Yuan saw that the speed of the approaching people was not slowing down at all, so he stepped out of the carriage and told An Jiu to gather his cloak after a few words.
Anjiu took the lead, and first arranged for the soldiers to stay still, and then drew their swords out of their sheaths to attack Lu Hu.
Lu Hu felt resentful in his heart when he saw An Jiu standing in front of him alone, he clamped his horse's belly and rushed forward.
Lu Hu's broadsword slashed at An Jiu with a mighty force, and An Jiu crossed his swords to catch it. It was a bit unexpected to feel Lu Hu's strength.
With An Jiu's force, Lu Hu's one blow could make his mouth go numb.
"Whoever stops me will die!"
Lu Hu's eyes were already red with anxiety, and he slashed down again when he failed in one blow.
An Jiu didn't want to get entangled, so he stabbed down Lu Hu's wrist with a sword. When the sword body was pulled back, he flew the sword, and the right sword was placed on Lu Hu's neck, and it only needed to cut Lu Hu's throat an inch down. .
Everything happened so fast that Lu Bao was only five steps behind on horseback when he saw his own brother was captured alive.
Lu Bao hurriedly ordered the horses to be reined in, and there was a confusion in the army. The horses collided and barely stopped, but many people were still injured.
Lu Hu himself was still a little dazed, he had always been the only one who split the enemy in half, but today he was disarmed in just one encounter.
"Lu Rover, His Majesty gave you a chance, will you surrender or not?"
An Jiu spoke very calmly, as if as long as Lu Hu said no, he would immediately send him to the queue for reincarnation.
Lu Rover thought that he would surely die, but when he heard the words, it turned around.
He was planning to apologize for causing the disaster in his hometown, but he is not a fool now that he has the opportunity to let his soldiers live.
The general situation is over, and all he asks for is fame and fame.
"Surrender! I surrender!"
Lu Hu closed his eyes and resigned to his fate, speaking very fast for fear that An Jiu would go back on his word.
The surprise in An Jiu's eyes flashed.
Master figured it out again? ?
The soldiers who planted the landmines were dumbfounded seeing Lu Hu who was tied back by the Ninth Commander, and looked at the dug hole and the mines in the hands of their comrades, wanting to cry without tears.
Is it so difficult for them to make a military exploit?Er Gouzi from the same village has been promoted to the third level under General Meng!
hateful!
Lu Hu looked uncomfortable at the soldiers who were packing up and clearing mines, as if they were going to swallow him alive.
Lin Jing nodded towards An Jiu without any surprise, and then went to organize the ten thousand cavalry.
Lu Bao followed behind Lu Rover and has not recovered yet.
"Your Majesty, someone brought it."
Lu Hu was dumbfounded when he saw the sick and noble young man getting off the broken carriage.
This is different from the emperor he imagined!
Qi Yuan glanced lightly at the two Lu Hu brothers, then turned his eyes away and walked towards the gorgeous emperor's car.
Finally relieved, Zhu Wanyi walked to the broken carriage and smiled.
It is no surprise to see Lu Rover who is too scared to look up.
"What's your name? After Mr. Jing told you, I will take care of you.
It was so cowardly that His Majesty couldn't stand it even with a glance.Hurry up, hurry up, we can rush to Yongzhou City to fight the fire and see if we can be promoted to a higher level. "
Zhu Wanyi picked up the nine-foot Lu Rover and Leopard with one hand.
Lu Hu and the others who blindly followed Zhu Wanyi to Yongzhou City on horseback were even more stupid.
Looking at the fire in Yongzhou City that had been doused by the heavy rain, it was stunned.
How much rain is this?It's too coincidental that there is only a partial rainstorm in Yongzhou City?
But no matter how confused Lu Rover is, how to deal with the surrendered cavalry is still a problem to be solved at this moment.
Lu Hu looked at the people who gathered together and knelt down spontaneously to greet the emperor with complicated emotions.
And Qi Yuan, who is the object of worship, has already returned to the Chinese army tent to rest.
Looking at the messy Yongzhou City, Qi Yuan suddenly laughed.
"Tuanzi, how is Ye Wenxi's spirit?"
Xiaotuanzi, who was busy tinkering with the rules of the world, stopped immediately.
"Sister Fairy, don't worry, I've found his soul, but it's seriously damaged and needs warming up."
"Will you die if you reincarnate now?"
Tuanzi was stunned for a moment, looking at the tattered spirit, very unconscious in front of beauty.
"Yes, of course. Sister Fairy wants him to reincarnate whenever he wants, it can be done now, the rules of my world have almost been repaired."
Tuanzi is not for nothing as a veteran Tiandao.
Qi Yuan frowned, "Then find a chance and throw it out."
"Good fairy sister, don't worry about my work."
After Tuanzi finished speaking, he felt guilty and closed his mind. He stretched out his hand to grab Ye Wenxi's heartache and gave Ye Wenxi a few wisps of merit.
The status of the prince and son of the clan is not bad. There seem to be several suitable ones. It has to be carefully selected, and the one with a better body is selected.
Otherwise, it's not enough for the fairy sister to toss... Bah!It is to cultivate, to cultivate.
(End of this chapter)
The cavalry led by Lin Zhi outside the city of Yongzhou had already left the field, and the main force of the frontier army immediately opened up the battle line after arriving.
Cheng Caitai was sweating profusely with a spatula and stir-frying the fried meat in the big iron pan. As a food delivery officer, Cheng Caitai was excited by the longing eyes of the cavalry as soon as he arrived.
"It's dinner, it's dinner!"
As soon as the gong sounded, the cavalrymen who were hungry all the way came to eat in batches in an orderly manner.
Lin Zhi was holding a rice bowl, and there was braised pork piled on top of the big white rice, which whetted the appetite.
The war horses were provided with food and grass early in the morning, and they were full, and they sat down behind the main force to rest when the horses were full.
The smell of meat did not affect the generals and soldiers who were commanding the formation to attack the city.
As a punishment from heaven, Qi Yuan, who sent the frontier army back to his hometown to have a full meal and a lot of money, has been worshiped as a god by the frontier army.
The soldiers on the battlefield could not see tomorrow, but the current life Qi Yuan brought to them was already satisfying, so everyone was willing to believe that once His Majesty returned to the throne, their days would only increase.

The emperor regards his ministers as brothers and sisters, and the ministers regard the emperor as his confidant.
"Brothers, hurry up! The scouts sent by Mr. Jing have arrived. Try to let your majesty enter the city in the afternoon."
The centurion shouted encouragement to his soldiers.
Everyone's morale was high after hearing the words, and they worked hard to push the wooden throwing platform into the range.A shell has been put on the platform.
The handsome flag fluttered, and Meng Ran, as the main general, looked at the strong city wall of Yongzhou.
"Command, attack the city!"
The command flag was waved in the hands of the herald, and the siege order was issued, and the knocking sounded in unison.
The soldiers on the city wall saw the black sphere flying towards them and raised their shields to avoid it in time.
It's just that the "sphere" flew to the top of the city tower and made a thunderous explosion.
The turret collapsed suddenly, and the sawdust from the explosion scattered and pierced into the armor together with the iron pieces of the shells. The heat wave brought by the residual power directly lifted the surrounding soldiers into the air.
The soldiers fell to the tower and were killed on the spot. The power of the shells made everyone panic.
But it was accompanied by black spheres that flew like rain.
Explosions sounded one after another, and the solid city wall was blown into pits and craters.
"Bombard the city gate!"
The shell adjusted its angle and landed in front of the city gate.
The city gate made of fine iron also began to deform. Yongzhou is close to the northern border, and this heavy city gate is the only one.
But at this moment, the rock-solid city gate also fell under the artillery fire.

Yu Kaiping's face was covered with blood, and the blood flowed from his left hand limply.
"General, please go down the tower!"
Yu Kaiping was also injured by shells, and his sharp eyes stared in the direction of Shuai Qi.
He could see the smoke rising from behind the main force of the frontier army. They were eating without any burden.
Under the protection of his personal guards, Yu Kaiping left the city wall and returned to the Yamen Medical Center to bandage his wound.
In front of Yu Kaiping was a sand table, and his cronies and counselors were all frowning.
"The frontier army deliberately exposed breakpoints to lure us to divert our attention. They have such sharp weapons, even if we have cavalry, it will not help.
What is the purpose of this temptation? "
Yu Kaiping was silent for a long time, "Any news about Land Rover's cavalry?"
As soon as Yu Kaiping finished speaking, messenger soldiers came to report.
Looking at the news on the letter paper, Yu Kaiping was so angry that he punched the table and his veins burst out.
"Land Rover is confused!"
Yu Kaiping weakly vented his anger on Lu Rover, but in his heart he was saying that he was confused.
"The breakpoint does exist. The central army of the former prince of Ming County must be true. The former prince used himself as a bait to blur our judgment. This is why the main force arrived in Yongzhou City quietly."
Yu Kaiping had a clear mind, and the main force was huge. The former crown prince used the cavalry charge to go deep into the city to oppress his psychology, and then used the breakpoint of the marching speed to give him a chance to attack to attract the remaining troops he could only mobilize.
His decision to shrink his troops and stick to Yongzhou City fell into the enemy's trap and created an opportunity for the main force to pass unimpeded.
And the reason why he firmly believes that the main force in Ming County is all due to the bait of the former prince!
He underestimated the courage of the former prince too much, thinking that the former prince must act with the main force.
Yu Kaiping's heart suddenly brightened, looking at the enemy's layout on the sand table, the wound burst and the gauze was stained red with anger.
If he doesn't lose, who will lose?He even misread the confrontational opponent!
The former prince must have set off in Ming County now, and the troops around him were no more than [-] to [-]. If he hadn't sent the overly cautious Land Rover and the reckless Mu Xuhui, then last night the cavalry would have been able to forcefully kill the former prince alive!
It's a pity that he made a wrong step, wrong step, and Lu Rover, out of caution, decided that Ming County was a fake target after discovering that the main force was attacking the city, and retreated to help.
Damn, damn it!
Yu Kaiping strode out of the Yamen, but stopped after hearing the sound of gunfire.
"Order Lu Rover to ambush the army of Ming County and capture the former prince alive!"
"If the city gate can't be defended, order the army to retreat."
Yu Kaiping let out a sigh of relief and gave him a military order, and he knew that he was doomed in this battle.
"General, let's retreat first."
Yu Kaiping smelled the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air. Could this be the smell of war in the north?
"Set fire to the city!"
Yu Kaiping gave the final order with fierce eyes and a cold expression.
"General?"
The confidants and counselors looked at the always gentle Yu Kaiping in disbelief and couldn't help but doubt their ears.
Setting fire to the city, what is the difference between this move and the Mongolian people in those border towns?
Of course Yu Kaiping knew that if he did this he would lose the hearts of the people, but once Yongzhou fell, the frontier army would be able to obtain a large amount of supplies and drive straight into Jizhou.
It is even more effortless to seize Jizhou with the advantage of frontier weapons.
His Majesty has no troops to stop the frontier army, and the war in the south has also entered the siege stage. In any case, he must hold back the pace of the frontier army going south to buy time for His Majesty.
Even if it is to set fire to destroy the city.
The hearts of the people, the victor will naturally have the hearts of the people.
"Destroy the city, leave 1 people to fight in the streets, and withdraw the entire army."
Since this Yongzhou City cannot be defended, there is no need to defend it.It's just that the land of Yongzhou, that bratty child can never get it.
It is impossible to leave Yongzhou if it is easy to take a city.
Yu Kaiping's expression was cold at this time, and the counselors were speechless when they saw his firm attitude.
"The general is a barbarian!"
Mo Shenyan's eyes spit fire, and his figure is tall and straight in green clothes.
Mo Shenyan is from Yongzhou, and he is also considered a famous person in Yongzhou. To be able to follow the new dynasty is because Yu Kaiping tried his best to "make friends" with him, and then let his "confidantes" work for the court.
Yu Kaiping kept the news of the former prince from Mo Shenyan, otherwise this pedantic guy would have jumped off the tower like those rebels on the city wall.
Mo Shenyan threw the jade pendant from Yu Kaiping on the ground viciously, and then strode away towards the common people.
"General?"
The murderous intent flashed in Yu Kaiping's eyes, "It's okay, let the remaining people set fire to leave and retreat to Yongguan after the city is broken."
"Yes!"
The military order was passed from the government office to the army, and the army began to withdraw.
Mo Shenyan said that one person's strength is limited, even if he told the people, it would be useless.
A group of troublemakers, the swords of his army are still sharp.
Yu Kaiping's decision must be said to be ruthless and decisive. Trying to preserve the containment of troops is better than sticking to it.
After all, he understands that he is not trying to defeat the frontier army to create a myth, he is trying to delay time.
After the first round of artillery fire, the gate of the city was already in danger, and there were not a single soldier on the wall.
Looking at the empty city wall, Meng Ran frowned and felt uneasy.
Soon there was billowing smoke in the city.
"No, they're going to set fire to the city!"
Meng Ran's expression changed drastically.
"Order the three armies to break the city!"
The cavalry rested for a while, and Lin Zhi led the cavalry to charge with a spear in his hand after receiving the military order.
Meng Ran was sitting in the town, and the infantrymen, armed with shields, pressed down on the city gate in a uniform manner.
After the training arranged by Qi Yuan, today's frontier army has been able to achieve a uniform pace.The sound of neat footsteps is the drum of war breaking the city, which is daunting.
The only remaining soldiers on the city wall saw the two tiger and wolf divisions fighting, and almost wanted to leave first.
Yu Kaiping's movements were fast, but the frontier army broke through the city even faster.
They have seen the tactic of burning the city and walking away a lot when fighting the Mongolians, and they are naturally familiar with it.
The walls around the city gate made of fine iron have been damaged, and they collapsed when hit by siege equipment.
Lin Zhi took the lead, and the horse's hooves clattered on the fine iron.
Entering Yongzhou City, the cavalry on the Qingshiban chased and killed the retreating Yu Kaiping army.
Wang Jinxing helped with the terrain of Yongzhou, and Lin Jing also made a record of this scene.
Therefore, tens of thousands of cavalry rushed directly to the south gate in an orderly manner to pursue and kill them.
Yu Kaiping frowned, the frontier army broke through the city too fast, it took only two hours from the siege to the break.
Although he was chased by the cavalry, fortunately the army had already evacuated early, and the city was doused with kerosene and the fire spread within a short time.
Yu Kaiping looked at the flames and thick smoke, and the cries of the common people became farther and farther away.
It's a pity that if the city is broken for another quarter of an hour at night, those rioters will be able to block the main road of the cavalry.
However, the soaring fire managed to keep the main force of the frontier army.
Meng Ran was still worried that it was the enemy's trap, but he understood after seeing the people running away in the city.
Yu Kaiping looked like a gentleman, but he was actually a cruel villain.
"Give way, dismiss the people."
Meng Ran knew Qi Yuan's benevolence, so he didn't dare to let the army block the way for the people to escape.
The lack of water in the north is no surprise to Yongzhou.There are no rivers here, and daily drinking water depends entirely on well water.The enemy used kerosene, and the fire spread very quickly.
At this time, the city of Yongzhou was already facing a heat wave.
Putting out the fire cannot be saved in a short while.
"Order the centurion, and the five teams will take turns to go into the city to rescue the people.
Do your best with your own safety in mind. "
Although Meng Ran was kind-hearted under the influence of Qi Yuan, he was also afraid of being a trap just after the siege was over, not to mention that he cared more about these soldiers who were born and died with him in the northern border than the common people.
The cost of training an elite soldier is too high, and Meng Ran is reluctant to let them be lost in the fire that is impossible to save.
Mo Shenyan rolled up his gown, poured a bucket of water on his body and plunged into the fire.
"Mother! Mother!"
The young boy sitting on the bed who was choked awake felt the heat wave of the fire and did not save himself, but cried hoarsely like a five-year-old child.
Mo Shenyan covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, looking for the sound of crying to search for rescue.
The Cheng family was just an ordinary merchant, only Qin Shuang, a widowed mother with two children, ran a restaurant.
The soldiers came suddenly, and they poured fuel on the door as soon as they entered. They even set their sights on Qin Shuang's daughter and started to snatch her away.
With the order to set fire to destroy the city, the bottom line of the soldiers was also broken, and evil came to the fore.
If not for the urging of some generals, I am afraid that both mother and daughter will not be able to fall.
It's just that Qin Shuang protected her daughter, but put her stupid son in danger.
The mother and daughter watched the fire and wept bitterly, not daring to look away, staring at the door intently.
Qin Shuang knelt on the ground and prayed to the gods.
Although Mo Shenyan is not uncompromisingly good at learning the six arts of a gentleman, the continuous saving of people still consumes a lot of his energy.
If he hadn't helped the tyrant to do evil, how could the people in the city have suffered such a disaster.
The dog official surnamed Wu is a jackal, and Yu Kaiping is a tiger and a leopard!They are all evil spirits that eat people!
Mo Shenyan's eyes were so smoked that tears flowed down his face, and his clothes began to heat up under the high temperature.
Mo Shenyan looked over the collapsed wooden beam and saw the boy who had fainted from the black smoke.
Hastily climbed over the wooden beam and walked over to pick up the man on his back and ran outside.
Mo Shenyan, who was devoted to saving people, didn't notice the movement outside the door, but quickened his pace when he saw the bright light of the exit.
Lin Zhi led the cavalry in pursuit and killed tens of thousands of enemy troops, but that was just a broken tail for Yu Kaiping to survive.
Lin Zhi left tens of thousands of people scattered to check for traces, while he led people to rescue the people.
He and Lin Jing are brothers, so he understands how much his elder brother and His Majesty attach importance to the hearts of the people.What's more, he has experienced the hardships of the border town since he was a child, but he has never seen the appearance of this purgatory on earth.
Qin Shuang's mother and daughter just saw Mo Shenyan's figure, and the next second they opened their eyes wide and exclaimed.
The beam collapsed under the fire.
At this moment, Mo Shenyan's physical strength had reached its limit, so he could only grit his teeth and roll forward to avoid the crossbeam.
Lin Zhi happened to see this scene, without any hesitation, he hooked Mo Shenyan's belt with his spear and dragged him for a distance.
Immediately the beam fell to the ground, and the entire store was buried in the fire.
"Take people and withdraw first."
It was inconvenient for the cavalry to be in the city, so Lin Zhi gave an order, and together with his subordinates, they pulled Qin Shuang's mother and daughter onto the horses.
Before Qin Shuang could react, the world was spinning for a while before he and his daughter were kidnapped and put on the back of a horse.
Lin Zhi lifted the spear, bent his horse and scooped it up, then piled up Mo Shenyan and put them in front of him, carried them away.
Cavalry rushed out of the city with many people on their backs.
As soon as they left the city, they put the victims in one place and returned to the Chinese army.
There are medical officers wandering around where the victims gather, and soldiers in the city are also carrying people out in an orderly manner.
Qin Shuang held her daughter Cheng Ping who was still in shock in one hand and her unconscious son Cheng An in the other.
Beside him was Mo Shenyan, a lifesaver who was unconscious.
Just as dazed as Qin Shuang were the victims around him.
The spread of the fire has become unstoppable, and it is impossible to enter the city due to lack of water.
After the last batch of soldiers withdrew, everyone could only look at the fire in silence.The victims who survived the catastrophe couldn't help crying loudly.
In addition to smoke and dust, the air was filled with the smell of burning corpses.
Meng Ran raised his head feebly, forcing back the tears.
But he felt a little cold hit his face.Joy burst into Meng Ran's eyes, and he reached out and touched it.
It's raining?
Everyone looked at the sky with bright eyes, the raindrops became denser and denser, and soon the big raindrops fell densely.
It's raining!
The heavy rain that only covered Yongzhou City came suddenly, and it was at this time that Meng Ran received the news that Qi Yuan was about to arrive.
Meng Ran's eyes brightened, and he became more and more determined about the color of destiny on Qi Yuan.
At the same time, Qi Yuan put away the spells in his hands in the team that was marching three miles away, suppressed the fishy sweetness in his throat, and endured the stinging pain in his internal organs with a calm expression without showing a trace.
In fact, Qi Yuan and Lin Jing led the team forward, and they had already seen the flames soaring into the sky from a distance. Qi Yuan lifted the curtain and his face sank like water.
"It seems that you are going to go south as soon as possible."
Seeing the clear sunlight outside, Qi Yuan calmly lowered the curtain and said to Lin Jing calmly.
Lin Jing also understood Yu Kaiping's intention, he wanted to stop the frontier army's pace.
It is too early to divide the troops to go south.
"The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry."
Lin Jing knew that they were pressing too hard, but when she thought of Ye Chen and others in the south, Lin Jing became calmer.
The speed of the march increased, and the team came into Land Rover's sight.
Lu Hu looked at the team in the distance, looked at the flames in the city, and lowered his head in thought.
"General Lu, if you don't do it, you won't have a chance!"
Seeing Lu Hu hesitate, the sender got angry.
Lu Hu turned his head and stared fiercely, Hu Yuan stared as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.
"brute!"
Lu Hu drew the knife backhand and beheaded the herald.
"Big brother!"
Lu Bao's eyes were also red, and his shoulders were shaking with anger.
"Brothers, we are all sons of Yongzhou, blame me for being blind and accepting that this kind of beast is the master, and now I put my brothers' families in danger.
I, Lu Rover, know that my brothers in the army say that I am timid and fearful, but I just don't want my brothers to sacrifice innocently.
Now I, Lu Rover, can't stand my brothers. That bastard Yu Kaiping couldn't hold the city so he set fire to the city. Now the former prince's army is outside the city. Brothers, are you willing to fight with me to save the family in the city? "
Land Rover's nine-foot man yelled in a crying voice.
"Go! Go!"
When everyone saw the fire, they couldn't hold back and wanted to go back to save people.Although they surrendered to Yu Kaiping, they were born and raised in Yongzhou.
Land Rover's leader is cautious, but he is a very loyal and affectionate person.
This time, he lost hesitation when he was stimulated by setting fire to destroy the city, and immediately rushed towards Yongzhou City with ten thousand cavalry regardless of Yu Kaiping's order.
The cavalry at this moment are all concerned about their families in the fire scene, and their fighting spirit is naturally that gods block and kill gods, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas.
The eagle in the sky hovered and fell, and the army stopped to meet the enemy skillfully.
The dust kicked up by the cavalry was flying, and the eyes of the frontier soldiers were all fiery.
After practicing for so long, it was finally their turn.
The soldiers were extremely fast, methodically laying mines and setting up a line of defense to retreat.
As the march approached Yongzhou City, the men sent by Meng Ran also rushed over.
Land Rover was full of murderous intent and took the lead.
Qi Yuan saw that the speed of the approaching people was not slowing down at all, so he stepped out of the carriage and told An Jiu to gather his cloak after a few words.
Anjiu took the lead, and first arranged for the soldiers to stay still, and then drew their swords out of their sheaths to attack Lu Hu.
Lu Hu felt resentful in his heart when he saw An Jiu standing in front of him alone, he clamped his horse's belly and rushed forward.
Lu Hu's broadsword slashed at An Jiu with a mighty force, and An Jiu crossed his swords to catch it. It was a bit unexpected to feel Lu Hu's strength.
With An Jiu's force, Lu Hu's one blow could make his mouth go numb.
"Whoever stops me will die!"
Lu Hu's eyes were already red with anxiety, and he slashed down again when he failed in one blow.
An Jiu didn't want to get entangled, so he stabbed down Lu Hu's wrist with a sword. When the sword body was pulled back, he flew the sword, and the right sword was placed on Lu Hu's neck, and it only needed to cut Lu Hu's throat an inch down. .
Everything happened so fast that Lu Bao was only five steps behind on horseback when he saw his own brother was captured alive.
Lu Bao hurriedly ordered the horses to be reined in, and there was a confusion in the army. The horses collided and barely stopped, but many people were still injured.
Lu Hu himself was still a little dazed, he had always been the only one who split the enemy in half, but today he was disarmed in just one encounter.
"Lu Rover, His Majesty gave you a chance, will you surrender or not?"
An Jiu spoke very calmly, as if as long as Lu Hu said no, he would immediately send him to the queue for reincarnation.
Lu Rover thought that he would surely die, but when he heard the words, it turned around.
He was planning to apologize for causing the disaster in his hometown, but he is not a fool now that he has the opportunity to let his soldiers live.
The general situation is over, and all he asks for is fame and fame.
"Surrender! I surrender!"
Lu Hu closed his eyes and resigned to his fate, speaking very fast for fear that An Jiu would go back on his word.
The surprise in An Jiu's eyes flashed.
Master figured it out again? ?
The soldiers who planted the landmines were dumbfounded seeing Lu Hu who was tied back by the Ninth Commander, and looked at the dug hole and the mines in the hands of their comrades, wanting to cry without tears.
Is it so difficult for them to make a military exploit?Er Gouzi from the same village has been promoted to the third level under General Meng!
hateful!
Lu Hu looked uncomfortable at the soldiers who were packing up and clearing mines, as if they were going to swallow him alive.
Lin Jing nodded towards An Jiu without any surprise, and then went to organize the ten thousand cavalry.
Lu Bao followed behind Lu Rover and has not recovered yet.
"Your Majesty, someone brought it."
Lu Hu was dumbfounded when he saw the sick and noble young man getting off the broken carriage.
This is different from the emperor he imagined!
Qi Yuan glanced lightly at the two Lu Hu brothers, then turned his eyes away and walked towards the gorgeous emperor's car.
Finally relieved, Zhu Wanyi walked to the broken carriage and smiled.
It is no surprise to see Lu Rover who is too scared to look up.
"What's your name? After Mr. Jing told you, I will take care of you.
It was so cowardly that His Majesty couldn't stand it even with a glance.Hurry up, hurry up, we can rush to Yongzhou City to fight the fire and see if we can be promoted to a higher level. "
Zhu Wanyi picked up the nine-foot Lu Rover and Leopard with one hand.
Lu Hu and the others who blindly followed Zhu Wanyi to Yongzhou City on horseback were even more stupid.
Looking at the fire in Yongzhou City that had been doused by the heavy rain, it was stunned.
How much rain is this?It's too coincidental that there is only a partial rainstorm in Yongzhou City?
But no matter how confused Lu Rover is, how to deal with the surrendered cavalry is still a problem to be solved at this moment.
Lu Hu looked at the people who gathered together and knelt down spontaneously to greet the emperor with complicated emotions.
And Qi Yuan, who is the object of worship, has already returned to the Chinese army tent to rest.
Looking at the messy Yongzhou City, Qi Yuan suddenly laughed.
"Tuanzi, how is Ye Wenxi's spirit?"
Xiaotuanzi, who was busy tinkering with the rules of the world, stopped immediately.
"Sister Fairy, don't worry, I've found his soul, but it's seriously damaged and needs warming up."
"Will you die if you reincarnate now?"
Tuanzi was stunned for a moment, looking at the tattered spirit, very unconscious in front of beauty.
"Yes, of course. Sister Fairy wants him to reincarnate whenever he wants, it can be done now, the rules of my world have almost been repaired."
Tuanzi is not for nothing as a veteran Tiandao.
Qi Yuan frowned, "Then find a chance and throw it out."
"Good fairy sister, don't worry about my work."
After Tuanzi finished speaking, he felt guilty and closed his mind. He stretched out his hand to grab Ye Wenxi's heartache and gave Ye Wenxi a few wisps of merit.
The status of the prince and son of the clan is not bad. There seem to be several suitable ones. It has to be carefully selected, and the one with a better body is selected.
Otherwise, it's not enough for the fairy sister to toss... Bah!It is to cultivate, to cultivate.
