Da Wei Chun

Chapter 521
Five miles away, the formation is like a wall.

Flags and corner flags of various colors fluttered in the wind, making a soft "squeaky" sound.

The horse was wearing a feed pocket, and was eating hay in a flawless manner.But all the soldiers on the horse looked like they were facing a big enemy, stretching their necks and tilting their ears, listening to the movements of Qingshui City.

The strange sound like muffled thunder was endless, and the smoke and dust floated in the air, like a cloud, covering half of the sky.

But the strange thing is that the Xicheng, which is close to Hu Jun, is silent and peaceful.

From time to time, there will be fast horses coming from the east, rushing to Fu Luo's handsome banner to report to him.

The more urgent reports were made, the weirder Fu Luo's expression became.

I thought that if the Wei army sacrificed the thunder weapon, the rebel army would be defeated, and Qingshui City would be destroyed in an instant.

But who would have thought that Yuan Ji could fight so well?
Although he is like a tortoise, hiding in the city and not even daring to show his head, but as long as he can guard against all kinds of firearms of the Wei army, Yuan Ji will be defeated even if he is honored.

What's more, it has been nearly two hours since the beginning, and Yuan Ji has not yet shown signs of failure, so he should be able to guard until dark.

And as long as you pass the first day, you will naturally be able to pass the second day, and the third day...

The news is getting better and better every time, and all the generals under his command are ready to move: Isn't the so-called sky thunder indestructible?

Murong Gao sneaked up close: "My lord, can the last general be punished?"

Fu Luo frowned: "How do you give?"

Whether Murong Gao is guilty or not, Fu Luo knows very well.

Regardless of whether he was afraid of death or acted decisively, it is an indisputable fact to prevent thousands of sons from dying under the firearms of the Wei army.

Just because he was afraid of shaking the morale of the army and avoiding the morale of the army being shaken, and hearing "thunder" like a tiger, Fu Luo had no choice but to charge him with "fear of war".

Murong Gao naturally knew well that the reason why he begged for his life was nothing more than not wanting the reputation of being "cowardly and incompetent" to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and wanting to be ashamed...

"The Wei army has been fighting fiercely for a long time, but they haven't made any achievements. They must be exhausted physically and mentally, and their morale has dropped. If there is no accident, the Wei army will retreat in the afternoon... So the last general thought, if Yuan Ji can send troops to contain his front after nightfall, At the end of the day, the general will use his armored cavalry to charge into the rear formation, and he will surely be able to break through the Wei army camp..."

It might as well be a miracle.

After all, the Wei army came in a hurry and attacked the city as soon as they arrived, before they had time to set up a stronghold.And based on what we have seen in the past few days, the Wei army is setting up a stronghold, which is probably just a trench and a chariot formation.

While the moon is dark and the wind is high, charging with a armored horse may not be impossible.

Volo pondered for a moment, but shook his head.

"Yuan Ji won't agree... At this moment, he can't wait for the Wei army to retreat, so why would he do such a dangerous plan?"

It's not just Yuan Ji.

If he dared to risk it, Volo would not have retreated five miles behind the city.

This is a plan to run away if something goes wrong...

Seeing Fu Luo's refusal, Murong Gao was not disappointed, he bowed respectfully: "The last general obeys the order!"

If Murong Gao had been a brave man, he wouldn't have escaped so simply in the previous battle.It was just a show, trying to win some fame...

"Report..."

An urgent roar came from a distance.Fu Luo suddenly raised his head, and saw a fast horse galloping from the east, without stopping for a moment, it went straight to Shuaiqi.

Since the start of the war with the Wei army, there have been more than a dozen reports of scouting horses, but none of them are as urgent as this time.All the generals surrounded by Shuai's banner suddenly felt a little bad feeling.

"My lord, Qingshui City is broken!"

Like a thunderbolt hitting his head, Fu Luo's ears roared and his mind buzzed.

How is it possible?
A moment ago, a fast horse came to report that the Wei army had used mines and rockets one after another, and Yuan Ji had kept them all in the air.

And after only a moment, Qingshui City suddenly broke down?

Murong Gao asked anxiously: "But there are internal thieves in the city, and they broke down the city gate with Wei Jun Li Yingwai?"

"My lord, there are no internal thieves, Qingshui City was attacked by the Wei army directly?"

"Could it be that the city wall was blown down with a thunderbolt?"

"That's not it... Wei Jun used fire, first broke the shield wall of the defenders, and then fired a hundred thunders to make them crumble..."

fire?
Fu Luo regained consciousness a little bit, and bit the tip of his tongue fiercely.Along with the severe pain, a bloody smell spread in his mouth, and he finally calmed down a bit.

"There have been a few survey reports just now, not all of them said that Yuan Ji was well prepared. Even if Wei Jun's rocket hit the shield wall, it would be extinguished in an instant. How did it break now? Could it be that the water in the city has run out?"

The Scout Brigade lowered its head handsomely: "My lord, the last general doesn't know..."

I don't know?

What do you want?
Fu Luo drew out the long knife at his waist, as if he wanted to chop off his head.

Fortunately, the scouts were quick-sighted and quick-spoken, and they argued anxiously: "Your Excellency, it is clear... The east city that the Wei army stormed was like meteors and rain of rockets. Even the last general dared to charge, and the horses were afraid to move forward. Therefore, we only dare to fight between the two cities of the north and the south. downstream explore...

All the previous scouting reports were learned from Yuan Ji's messengers in charge of us in the city.But this time, the city was broken too fast, causing chaos to the defenders on the city, so there was no news when the city was broken.

But in the end, the general was afraid of missing your lord's plan, so he had no choice but to send his subordinates to the east city to explore, and lost more than a hundred horses before he found a trace of military intelligence...My lord, it's not that we are incompetent..."

Fu Luo's eyes were red from anger, and the long knife in his hand was tight and tight, but he couldn't cut it.

He knew that the Scout Brigade was telling the truth, but his helplessness and fear were as boundless as the tide, as if only killing people could make him calm down.

No one dared to persuade him, including Murong Gao who was used to meeting with wind and wind and had better act as a good person.

Gritting his teeth for a long time, Fu Luo suddenly let out a breath, like an airbag punctured by a needle, and his figure froze in the blink of an eye: "Back!"

Murong Gao's Yiwei was severely damaged, and Fu Luo had set him up as a rear army.If you want to retreat, let him clear the way.He had no choice but to ask cautiously: "Dare to ask my lord, where to retreat?"

"Is it possible to return to Longku (the border between Tuyuhun and the Northern Wei Dynasty)?"

Fu Luo suddenly became angry, and slashed down fiercely.It's just the back of the knife, "Bypass Qin'an and retreat directly to Chencang..."

Frightened, Fu Luo didn't even dare to go to Qianyuan to join Yuanli, but chose to go directly to Chencang, intending to join forces with the more powerful Southern Army.

The more important reason is: after Chencang is Wudu Town, once you leave the town, you will be in Tuyuhun.

Fu Luo actually planned that if he could not resist Li Chengzhi together with the soldiers of the Southern Army, he would have to flee back to his lair...

Murong Gao didn't even dare to show an angry expression, he covered his helmet and hurriedly responded: "The last general obeys the order!"

With a few shouts, dozens of horsemen rushed out from the Hu formation, galloping from northwest to southeast.

This is the advance messenger, who was sent to Qin'an, Liyuan, and even the southern army that had already formed troops in Chencang.

Later, the [-] troops began to pull out the camp.

The formation of more than [-] cavalry running in unison is so spectacular that there is no need for ranger scouting. The infantry attacking the city wall and the cavalry patrolling below the city can all see the smoke dragon rising from the southwest direction.

Hu Jun wants to escape...

……

Shiche's city walls were scorched black, and there were broken bricks and stones everywhere, as well as horrific corpses.

As if he wanted to vent out the suffocation that had been pent up for a long time, Li Zhang went crazy and ordered the artillerymen to throw thunder on the city without stopping.

I really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are, it's all Huang Chengcheng's money...

Li Song was so distressed that he ran over and whipped Li Zhang himself.

Not long after, the smoke and dust cleared away, and there was no one standing on the east wall.

The moat has been filled up, just like a group of sheep released from the pen, two thousand white-armored old men pushed the ladder, across the building, flocking towards the city wall like crazy.

Diao Zheng and Li Daoyuan sat on the horses, watching the Jingzhou soldiers who climbed to the top of the city without any effort, and did not encounter a single arrow or falling stone during the whole process. They were both delighted and emotional.

"Li Sixian is so lucky that he can make great achievements while lying down?"

"Who made it impossible for you and me to have a son as talented as Duke Li?"

Diao Zheng sighed enviously, and pointed down the city: "Men from Yuan County, order the tiger to ride, and prepare to enter the city!"

Yuan Zhi responded loudly and ordered the soldiers to beat the big drum.

At this moment, a sharp whistle suddenly came from the south wing.A horse galloped over: "Captain, the whole battalion of Hu Jun is dispatched, and it seems to be going south!"

"Report to the county magistrate!"

……

"Moving from northwest to southeast instead of going directly to the west? It seems that Volo is still not giving up..."

Li Chengzhi sighed softly, "Now I'm out of strength, so I can only leave it to him. Well, report to Li Shao quickly and make him be on guard..."

Li Shixian was a little worried: "The urgent news has come just now. The southern army has already broken through the two passes of Yu and Luoyu. Presumably tomorrow, at the latest, all the [-] southern troops will enter the pass. Now with the addition of more than [-] fine cavalry from Fu Luo , can be said to be like a tiger with wings added. And Brother Yuan (Li Shao) has less than [-] soldiers under his command, how can the enemy live?"

"Father, don't worry! Even if the southern army enters the pass, they will not dare to launch a general attack in a short time. At least they must first conquer the remaining pass cities that are close to the Qinling Mountains in the north, otherwise they will suffer from the enemy.

Furthermore, now that Fuluo is about to retreat, there is no need to retain too many troops on the western front and the passes at Longshan. At least [-] infantry can be sent to Siyin.It is enough to help Shibo stick to it.Just hold on for a few days, and when I conquer Qin'an and recover the entire territory of Qinzhou, I will march eastward and fight to the death..."

The truth is such a truth, and Li Shixian naturally knows it.But he was still a little worried: "I'm afraid that the southern bandits will put all their eggs in one basket and break the boat. What if the enemy army comes out to attack Uncle Yuan after joining forces with Fu Luo soldiers, what should we do?"

This possibility cannot be ruled out.

Li Chengzhi pondered for a long time, then raised his head and looked east, his eyes darkened: "It's a big deal, I don't want this Qinzhou anymore..."

Li Sixian was startled.

Li Chengzhi is trying to fight to the death with the Southern Army?

He wanted to persuade him, but seeing the resolute look on his son's face, the words turned around again: "Don't lie to me as a father, tell the truth: how many firearms do you have left?"

"Father, don't worry, there are still a lot. Enough to kill the Southern Army soldiers..."

That's good!
Li Sixian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the father and son stop talking, Li Rui pretended to run a few steps quickly, stood at the bottom of the watchtower and called out loudly: "Mr. Lang, Governor Diao invited you into the city?"

so fast?
Li Sixian's heart skipped a beat, and he looked around.

I don't know when, the banner of "resisting the governor Li" has been planted on the top of the city.Many soldiers from Jingzhou were mending swords, putting out fires, binding prisoners, and confiscating weapons.

The gate of the city was already wide open, and the cavalry lined up a long dragon and rushed into the city.

But the strange thing is, whether it is in the city or in the city, there is no sound of swords and soldiers intersecting and shouting for killing?

Li Chengzhi explained in a low voice: "Using firearms to attack the city has such advantages. The difficulty is that the city cannot be broken. As long as the city is broken, there are few defenders who will fight to the death, because they have been frightened. Just like Li Chengzhi Touman City was captured by Song Song, and it took three hours of thunder bombardment to break through, but after entering the city, it took only a few moments before and after, and the whole city was taken without bloodshed..."

As soon as Li Song captured Touman City, Li Shixian couldn't help but feel chills: After the Touman City was broken, Li Song captured nearly [-] people alive, and none of them survived in the end?

It was then that he realized with horror: Why did Li Chengzhi make so many arrangements just like guarding against thieves when he sent Li Song and his troops to escape to the West Sea.

Li Liang and Huangfurang first, and then Li Chenghong and Li Chengxue?

With the growth of strength, ambition will continue to expand, and it will never end...

"I remember you said the day before yesterday that some of the prisoners captured this time will be sent to Da Qi?"

"Father has a good memory!"

Li Chengzhi complimented casually as he went down to watch the tower.

"Why don't you take this opportunity to keep Li Song in the capital and stay by your side. Let Li Liang and Huangfu help Chengxue guard Lingbei, what do you think?"

Li Chengzhi's heart moved, and he remembered what Li Shixian said before to persuade him to "plan ahead and gradually become Duwei".

"Father's words are true. But neither the elder brother nor the third younger brother has ever fought in battle and has no experience in running an army. Like Li Liang and Huangfu, both of them have little experience and have no general style. Compared with Li Song, he is quite inferior. Therefore, for the time being, Li Song is still the most useful..."

Li Sixian thought for a while, and sighed helplessly.

This is what Li Chengzhi often said: If the development is too fast, various disadvantages will appear rapidly.

The huge Li family can't find anyone who can replace Li Song?

He can, just like Li Song back then, just find a chance to feign death and escape.

But Li Chengzhi will definitely not agree.

It's not taboo, but too wasteful...

Li Shixian had an idea: "How about letting your uncle die suddenly?"

Li Chengzhi was a little confused.

Why didn't I think of it myself?
When my uncle was guarding Wuwei with his grandfather, he did not know how many battles he fought against Tuyuhun and Rouran, and he also served as the governor of the town.Whether it is running the army or governing the government, it is better than Li Song...

Li Chengzhi was very moved: "It's okay to do it, but I don't know how to persuade uncle?"

After all, it's a rebellion, and it's a job with your head on your belt.Who would dare to agree if it hadn't been for the heart and guts?
"Why do you need persuasion?"

Li Sixian couldn't help sneering.

Knowing a son is like a father!
When Li Qi was called to the capital, the reason why he brought Li Shiliang instead of Li Shixian was because Li Qi knew that Li Shiliang would turn against him before he even arrived in the capital...

Li Sixian said with full confidence: "Leave it to the father!"

Looking downstairs, there are quite a few retainers, and the father and son have a very tacit understanding, so without saying much, they got on their horses and went to the city gate.

Just entering the cave is the Wengcheng.The bombed pits on the ground were concave and scorched everywhere.

Men, women and children knelt on the ground, all tied up, they should be the family members of the leader of the rebel army.

When he saw the leader, Li Chengzhi was a little dazed: Yuan Yi?
