Da Wei Chun

Chapter 517

Li Chengzhi stared coldly at the two men kneeling on the ground: "What's your name?"

"Mr. Bingjun, my surname is Cui!"

"What's the relationship with Cui Zuzhi?"

"Cui Shijun is the family uncle of my two brothers!"

Well, just knew it was.

Li Chengzhi's expression was very calm, but he still allowed the two to waive the ceremony and gave him a seat.

There is no other, because if we go deeper, these two people are still relatives of him.

Cui Zuzhi came from the Qinghe Cui family, and he, Cui Liang, the servant of Shangshu, and Cui Huirong, the mother of Wei Yu, were all great-grandsons of the same great-grandfather.

He is also of the same generation as Ping Enhou and Shang Shuling Cui Guang, and they have not yet released their fifth clothes, so they are relatives?
The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.Just relying on such a little contact is not enough for Li Chengzhi to open up to him.When it's time to kill, he will never be soft.

Of course, superficial skills still need to be done, after all, these two were entrusted by Cui Zuzhi to abandon the dark and turn to the bright.Even though he felt like eating flies in his heart, Li Chengzhi had to act like a corporal of courtesy.

Li Chengzhi asked calmly: "I don't know how Cui Junshou wants to help me?"

The two got up quickly: "The uncle confessed: If the Duke of the county is interested, you can send a surprise soldier to Qin'an at night, and the uncle will definitely call the people of the Qi clan and his cronies to cooperate inside and outside, and open the city gate for the Duke of the county!"

Send surprise soldiers at night, and cooperate with the inside and outside?
It was nothing more than the trick he used in Woye.

After pondering for a while, Li Chengzhi nodded again: "This is a big matter, I don't dare to be good at it, so I must discuss it with my left and right first. Please wait for a while... Li Rui, good wine and good meat , so good to serve..."

The two secret agents did not doubt that it was there, they saluted respectfully, and followed Li Rui out of the handsome account.

As soon as the two of them left, Diao Zheng frowned: "The last general is so bold, I ask the Duke to think twice, it's hard to guarantee that it's not Cui Zuzhi's trick..."

It's no wonder that Diao Zheng is so suspicious. I didn't see Li Chengzhi's first reaction when he saw these two, and he couldn't figure out what Cui Zuzhi was trying to figure out.

How many days has he turned back?

"What the general said is true, so I can save myself!"

Li Chengzhi responded casually, and then confessed to Li Liang, "Take care of those two people, don't let them get away, but don't make things difficult, and make a conclusion after the war."

Discuss after the war... Isn't the daylily cold?

Listening to Li Chengzhi's words, Li Shixian, who was hiding behind others, was a little anxious, and secretly stabbed Li Song.Li Song was so helpless that he grinned like a toothache: "Mr. Lang, if these two are not allowed to return, how should we respond to Cui Zuzhi?"

Respond, why should I respond?
"The strategy has been decided, how can I change it because of Cui Zuzhi's words? I have my own plan for this matter, so don't talk about it!"

Li Chengzhi glared at Li Song, and then confessed to Diao Zheng and Li Daoyuan, "Everything has been planned, so just act according to the plan. It's hard work for you two..."

"The commander-in-chief is serious!"

The two responded in succession, and retreated respectfully.

There were only a group of Li's retainers left in the tent. Li Chengzhi narrowed his eyes and said sharply, "Did you act like this when you were in Hexi? If the ugly slave said that he would hand over the Rouran Khan Court to you , do you believe it too?"

In the past, Li Chengzhi would sneer, get angry, and beat people when he was very angry.But there are very few times when there is such a looming murderous intent.Li Song's heart skipped a beat, his mouth was as bitter as a yellow lotus in his mouth.

Patriarch, Patriarch, you will kill me.

He is not a person who does not know the importance, how could he trust others so gullibly.Just based on Cui Zuzhi's words, who can guarantee that it is not the countermeasures of Yuan Ji, Hou Gang, Fu Luo and other thieves?

What's more, the tactics have been decided, the [-] army is under Qingshui City, and it will attack the city at dawn tomorrow.Seeing that there are only four or five hours left, how can it be possible to abandon Qingshui and attack Qin'an instead?
This is not how wars are fought...

The blame is to blame the head of the family for being so suppressed, his thoughts are floating, and he doesn't want to be an invisible person behind Lang Jun's back.

Forget it, it's only natural for servants to take the blame for the patriarch, and the worst thing is to be whipped a few times by the lord.

Li Song lowered his eyebrows and drooped his eyes, and was about to admit his mistake when he felt a tightness behind him.

Li Shixian took two steps forward and said with a sarcastic smile: "As a father, I saw the opportunity is rare, so I wanted to give it a try... There is no need to abandon Qingshui and attack Qin'an instead, as long as you give me the two battalions of Jingzhou, and take advantage of the night." The black wind is high, and if you ride fast and light, you can reach Qin'an in at least two hours.

If Cui Zuzhi is sincerely attached, it is naturally the best.If it's a treacherous scheme, he won't even be able to close the gate of Qin'an City for his father's guarantee..."

give it a try?
Li Chengzhi's eyeballs popped out, and after thinking about it for a while, his face was full of helplessness.

After going on for a long time, it wasn't that Li Song wanted to divide the troops rashly, but that Li Shixian wanted to use his tricks?

It's not impossible, but the problem is, as your son and I are the coach, why do you need to do it yourself?
How unwilling is my father to be so eager to prove myself?

"My son is here, how dare I let my father take such a risk? Besides, the son is young and energetic, with little knowledge, and he is about to rely on his father. Father should leave it in the account and give me advice, okay?"

Come up with a fart plan, plan a stupid plan?
So far, his understanding of firearms is not even comparable to that of Li Rui and Li Cong. How can he advise Li Chengzhi?
Of course, he is not alone.This includes Li Shao, Yang Jun, Diao Zheng, and Li Daoyuan, and they are even worse than him.

At this point in the battle, Li Chengzhi made the decision with one word from the beginning to the end. Have you ever seen anyone's advice that he listened to?

Just polite words.

Li Shixian was helpless, and his heart was not usually tired.Only now did he understand that when he sent troops from Luoyang, he was struggling to join the army, why did Li Chengzhi keep his mouth shut?

Just because he was afraid that his father would be embarrassed.

Thinking about it now, it would be better to stay in Luoyang and enjoy the happiness...

He said helplessly: "That's it, I will follow what you say!"

Li Chengzhi nodded secretly: Although my father occasionally has a bit of a jerk, he is still very sensible, at least he won't stalk him.

Slandering in his heart, he confessed to Li Song and Li Liang: "When the sky is bright, we will attack the city. Later, you two will go to the camp to inspect and see if all the weapons and equipment are ready. something was missing..."

Without waiting for the two to respond, he emphasized another sentence, "When attacking the city, both of you set up the father's banner..."

Li Shixian's eyes lit up suddenly, but before he could say anything, Li Chengzhi blocked his words: "Of course, it's better for father to watch the formation with me..."

Like a skin puffed up and pierced by a needle, Li Sixian let out all his breath in one breath.

Nizi, do you know that the father's long knife is already too hungry and thirsty?
……

The next day, Chenshi.

The sky is already bright, and the morning glow is like fire, dyeing half of the sky in the east red.

As if drawing across with a ruler, the Wei army was divided into two, and a neat square formation was set up under the east city and the north city respectively.

Each formation was divided into three, and the cavalry guarded the left and right of the infantry formation.

The front of the formation is full of rushing cars, ladders, artillery and crossbows, and hitting wood.

Seeing these things, Yuan Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

At least it wasn't for Li Chengzhi pointing his finger at the sky and shouting "Thunder", thousands of thunderbolts would come down, and Qingshui County could be razed to the ground in the blink of an eye.

Hou Gang and Cui Zuzhi went to Qin'an, and the Fuluo army was five miles outside the city. Besides a group of rebel generals, Yuan Yi was also there.

It has been nearly half a year since the battle with Li Chengzhi after a hundred days of injury.Yuan Yi's injury has long since healed.

However, he still has some disabilities. When he walks, one leg is always a bit awkward, and he looks like he is crippled.

After this catastrophe, Yuan Yi seemed to have grown a lot. When he saw Li Chengzhi again at this time, he was no longer as eager to "eat his flesh and drink his blood" as when he broke his leg, and he looked very calm.

"Father, look!"

Yuan Yi pointed down the city and stared at the trebuchet, "Compared with the ordinary siege crossbow, this crossbow is several times smaller. And it is very similar to what is said in the letter of King Jiyin. If there is no accident, it will be Li Chengzhi For mine projectiles..."

Just over a mile away, Yuan Yi can see it, and Yuan Ji can naturally see it too.Even thought of it.

So since he learned that Li Chengzhi led the army westward yesterday morning, he has ordered the defenders in the city and the city residents to take many precautions.

For example, many mud houses were built in the city for soldiers to avoid rockets.Many stone slabs were also erected at the top of the city to prevent thunder that day.

In addition, the civilian husband was urgently ordered to dig a pond under the wall to store water overnight...

All the methods I can think of have been used, and now I can only do my best and obey the destiny.Yuan Ji sighed helplessly, and whispered:
"Being a father is forced to be helpless, even if there are thousands of thunderbolts coming, as long as you don't die for a moment, you have to stand on the top of the city for a moment. But you are not good at walking, so there is no need to do so. Later, when you see that cannon ball throwing, You quickly hid in the city..."

"The boy wants to defend the city with his father!"

Yuan Ji was a little impatient: "It doesn't matter whether you are a soldier or a civilian husband, you are all looking at your father. As long as I don't retreat, the army's morale will not be broken. And what's the use of you staying here? You have to be too tired to be distracted by your father..."

Why can the second brother stay?
Yuan Luo is only twelve now, and he can't even hold a knife steadily. How can staying in the city help you?

The father clearly had other ideas.

Looking at the limp, Yuan Yi secretly hated it.Although he lowered his head, the fierce light in his eyes was like a hungry wolf.

If Li Chengzhi's thunder just happened to fall on the second brother's head, how good would it be?
"Son obeys!"

After bowing respectfully, Yuan Yi dragged his sick leg down the city wall.

Looking at that figure from behind, Yuan Ji couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart: he is already crippled, how dare he covet the position of son?
And if it weren't for this beast, how could my lineage of King Jiangyang have fallen to such a point.If it wasn't for your mother's persuasion, my father would have drowned you long ago...

While secretly hating, there was a sound of a drum next to his ear, and then he heard a low voice from the lieutenant general: "Your Highness, the Wei army is attacking!"

Yuan Ji stared intently, and saw that the Wei army's infantry had already started to move. Soldiers, driving horses and dragging all kinds of siege equipment, were walking down the city without haste.

With just one glance, Yuan Ji saw something strange: Didn't he see the folks digging up the sand?

Then how did Li Chengzhi fill up the moat, and how did he push the cart and ladder close to the city wall?

Suspicious in his heart, Yuan Ji became extremely cautious: "Yu Xiu, order the crossbowmen to prepare: he will do the rest, but if the crossbow is as close as a hundred feet, I will bombard it..."

With a promise, Yu Xiu hurriedly ordered the crossbowmen to string and prepare arrows.

Yuan Ji is not Yuan Li, he puts his best foot forward and insists on going to Qianyuan to meet Li Shao on his own initiative.In a hurry, the preparation was extremely insufficient.

Cui Zuzhi sits in a county and is the governing place of Qinzhou, so there is no shortage of city crossbows.In addition, both Yuan Ji and Hou Gang have suffered from Li Chengzhi's losses, and they are not as defiant as Yuan Li, so they are very cautious.After arriving in Qinzhou, Cui Zuzhi made a lot of them.

At the head of Qingshui City at this time, there are crossbows on all sides of the city walls, and a lot of precautions have been taken, so Yuan Ji has some confidence: as long as Li Chengzhi's thunder does not really fall from the sky, but is thrown on the top of the city with a weapon, how much will he do? Can prevent some...

It's only two miles away, and it will arrive in a moment.In just half a moment, Wei Jun entered about a hundred feet below the city.Yuan Ji squinted his eyes, staring closely at the various cars in front of the formation.

The one at the front is the small cannon carriage that Yuan Li mentioned in her letter.It seems that he did as he expected: as soon as the war starts, Li Chengzhi will give himself a blow first.

But the strange thing is, why don't there be mules, horses and peasants behind the cart?
Then how did he throw the stone bullet up?

Just as he was suspicious, Yuan Ji was stunned again: There was still nearly a hundred feet away, but the cannon carriage suddenly stopped, as if he knew that he had just given Yu Xiu an order to fire the crossbow once he passed a hundred feet?
No, it should be that Li Chengzhi already expected that there must be heavy weapons such as crossbows in Dingcheng, so he had already given orders, and the forwards of the attack naturally did not dare to advance more than half a step.

In an instant, a glimmer of understanding arose in Yuan Ji's heart, and his face changed suddenly: how can a cannonball that doesn't need to be pulled by a horse be able to shoot so far?

Otherwise it can no longer be explained.

If it was someone else, Yuan Ji would doubt it, and would definitely wait and see for a while before responding.But if it was Li Chengzhi, how could he dare to be negligent?

More than three hundred feet, the power of the city crossbow is almost the same as nothing.Even so, Yuan Ji couldn't care less.

"Open the crossbow... open the crossbow..."

He roared sharply, and pulled the guards again, "Wei Jun is going to throw thunder, hurry up, order the soldiers to shoot under the stone slab..."

Before he finished speaking, countless mallets and hammers were swung down.After listening to "boom, boom, tie and tie" for a while, the thick crossbow spears shot at Wei Jun like raindrops.

"Whoosh..."

A crossbow flew over Li Zhang's head, scaring him into a witty state.

"Dropping shield...dropping shield..."

Following his quick roars, the gunner quickly drew out his waist knife and cut off the hemp rope on the gun mount.

Today's firearms can be called the capital of Li's livelihood, especially explosives, it is not an exaggeration to call them the lifeblood of Li Song and others.Therefore, there was no need for Li Chengzhi to remind, and all Li's servants racked their brains to pick up and make up for omissions.

Now that he could think that the crossbow and the like would threaten the cannon and artillery, he would naturally come up with a way to deal with it.Li Song also spent a lot of money, and directly used steel plates to create a sliding outer armor for the gun carriage.

This time Li Chengxue brought this kind of thing.

The fixed ropes were cut, and the steel plates slid down layer by layer, completely covering the gun carriage.

Following Li Zhang's shouts, all the artillerymen got under the iron armor.

This level of protection, not to mention three hundred feet, even within a hundred steps will not hurt a single bit.

About ten feet later, Li Song stood in the cloud tower, holding his chin and watching the city.

But after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see which one was Yuan Ji.

It's a pity, he is still planning to launch a round of precision strikes first...
