retaliate

Chapter 1535 Brothers
At the head of Fangzhou city, the two sides are fighting inextricably at this moment.

Standing in the tower, Du Que said to the generals beside him: "I heard that the northern army has trebuchets, which can throw stones, and they are invincible. Fortunately, the road to Shu is difficult, and those trebuchets have not arrived. Otherwise, I would not dare to stand today." here."

"careful!"

A sergeant in front turned around and shouted.

Then, a stone passed over his head and went straight to the tower.

Boom!

The stone happened to hit the second floor of the tower, which was where Du Que was.

Du Que was a military commander, so he dodged in an instant, but the two civil servants were smashed right in front of him.

The smoke and dust dissipated, and everyone looked at the place in shock... Two civil servants fell there in a bloody mess, and one of them lost his head.

The stone crushed two people to death, and the momentum remained undiminished, smashing a hole in the back of the tower.

"It's a trebuchet!" Someone shouted from the top of the city at this moment.

Although the trebuchet can't be transferred, it can be built anyway!

When attacking Yangling Pass, because the top of the city was too high, the range of the trebuchet could not reach it.If they approached, they would be suppressed by the bed crossbows of the defenders, so the emperor did not order the construction of trebuchets.

When we arrived in Fangzhou, the trebuchet finally came in handy.

It was just a small test, and more trebuchets were assembled and arranged neatly together.

"put!"

Dozens of stones flew up.

The walls are trembling!
The defenders are moaning!
"withdraw!"

Du Que came out of the tower in disgrace, and immediately ordered to evacuate.

The trebuchets were raging, and the defenders withdrew. Du Que looked at those under his command, and they were a little panicked.

Morale!
Damn morale!
Du Que said: "Don't worry, Fangzhou City is strong..."

Later, the people staying at the top of the city shouted: "Enemy attack!"

"on!"

The defenders swarmed up.

The emperor came close to observe the situation of the defenders, and praised: "The people of Shu are really tenacious."

Several riders arrived and reported: "Your Majesty, the navy has already set off."

"it is good!"

The emperor said: "The false emperor thought that he could survive with the help of the natural dangers of Shu, but he didn't know that the country is never in danger, but it depends on the support of the people. The people's hearts are the strongest walls!"

Pei Jian said: "Your Majesty, I have asked the people nearby, and they all said that in half a month, this place will be rainy and quite cold."

The most feared thing for the army to travel is this kind of weather. First, it is difficult to supply, and second, it is easy to cause attrition.

"It won't take half a month. And after defeating Fangzhou, there will be a flat plain in front of us." The emperor said flatly: "The Great Court Meeting on the first day of next year will continue as usual!"

The Great Court Meeting must be presided over by the emperor, which shows the emperor's confidence in the attack on Shu.

Pei Jian's questioning was from the beginning, and the emperor's answer was also from the beginning. The question and answer between the monarch and his ministers sent a message.

——Before the end of the year, you must return to Chang'an.

When the news reached the army, morale was greatly boosted.

Suo Yun said to Lan Jian: "This is a good opportunity for you to redeem your sins."

"Brother, don't worry!"

Lan Jian became ruthless, and personally led people to attack the city in the next few days.

The top of the city was a bit precarious, and the emperor felt that if it continued like this, there might be no need for waterways to attack, and Fangzhou would be broken.

Just when he felt very comfortable, the cunning Du Que released his reserve team at this moment.

Lan Jian looked desperately at the enemy army that appeared on the top of the wall, "Brother!"

He needed the credit for breaking the city, but the large number of enemy reserve troops shattered his fantasy.

"attack!"

Suo Yun slapped him and scolded: "You must die on the top of the wall, follow me!"

Suo Yun limped and trot forward, shouting while running: "For Your Majesty!"

"Long live!"

The Death Battalion erupted in cheers. Seeing this, Lan Jian wiped the blood off his face and rushed forward.

He passed Suo Yun and rushed to the forefront.

Suo Yun couldn't catch up with him, but he said happily: "That's the way it is!"

As a general, if you don't make more efforts, how can you gain a foothold in the army?
Lan Jian rushed to the top of the wall, leading his men to rush to both sides desperately.

"Your Majesty, Lan Jian is desperate."

Han Ji smiled.

"Yeah!" The emperor nodded.

With the gradual unification of the world, the role of death camps is also declining.How to place them thereafter is a question.

According to the emperor's idea, most of the death camps were scattered and settled in various places, and the leaders were placed according to their merit and loyalty.

Others are easy to talk about, but brothers Suo Yun and Lan Jian made the emperor feel a little bit difficult.

Suo Yun is limping, so it's not easy to be an official.But the emperor boasted that rewards and punishments were clear, and he must be given a suitable position.

But Lan Jian was a bit rebellious, and was not liked by the emperor.

While speaking, Suo Yun also climbed to the top of the wall.

Just like that, he limped to Lan Jian's side.

The two brothers fought side by side and charged towards Du Que.

"Bold enough!" Du Que sneered.

The reserve team arrived, and Du Que, who had enough troops in his hand, was full of confidence.

"Kill it!" Suo Yun's hoarse voice echoed in the city.

He led his men to charge forward, and Lan Jian followed closely.

"Huh!" Du Que was a little surprised to find that Suo Yun and others were constantly approaching him.

Just as he was about to retreat, he heard a sudden burst of shouting behind him.

"Enemy attack!"

When Du Que turned his head, he saw the chaos in the south of the city.

The Chang'an army besieging Fangzhou City is still a traditional routine, surrounding three sides and attacking, leaving one side to attack the heart.The remaining side is Nancheng.

At this moment, thousands of people are shouting under the south city.

"Yizhou is broken."

This team came from the direction of Yizhou.

Moreover, they actually escorted several generals... Someone with sharp eyes recognized one of them.

"It's the guard of the East Palace..."

Dongsuo is the city behind Fangzhou, very close to Fangzhou City, and is responsible for containing the enemy.Once the East Tower is broken, it means that Fangzhou City has become an isolated city.

And those generals also followed suit.

"The Chang'an army entered Yizhou by water, and is now attacking Tongcheng. Brothers, you are waiting here to fight for the false emperor. What about the guests at home?"

"To be liquidated!"

The way back was cut off, and his own people were persuading him to surrender, and the Chang'an army's offensive became more and more fierce...

The morale of the defenders was slipping.

Du Que shouted: "The waterway cannot mobilize the army, the way out is to defend the housing state and wait for His Majesty's reinforcements..."

A horizontal knife suddenly appeared, Du Que dodged, and the sergeants swarmed behind him.

Suo Yunfei rushed forward, hugged Du Que, and shouted: "Do it! Erlang, do it!"

Suo Yun was stabbed a few times, and Du Que was struggling desperately...

Lan Jian rushed forward, beheaded Du Que with a single blow, and then the soldiers of the Death Battalion rushed up and defeated the enemy army.

"Beheading!"

Suo Yun still held Du Que.

Lan Jian cut off the head and handed it to Suo Yun.

"Hold it up!" Suo Yun said.

"Brother, it's the one you hugged!" Lan Jian felt that most of the credit was due to his brother.

"Hold it up!" Suo Yun yelled.

Lan Jian raised his head subconsciously.

"Wan Sheng!"

Seeing that the head of the enemy general was in Lan Jian's hands, the soldiers couldn't help shouting.

The main general was killed, and the morale of the defenders dropped rapidly, one after another, and the Chang'an army rushed to the top of the city in a steady stream.

"Failed!"

The defenders collapsed, most of them knelt on the spot, some turned around and ran, and some even jumped down and broke their legs.

"Your Majesty, Lan Jian killed the enemy general Du Que!"

Someone reported.

"This person is okay!"

The thoughts in the emperor's mind turned around. Originally, he planned to leave Lan Jian idle, but now he felt that this person was useful.

At the top of the wall, Lan Jian supported Suo Yun, "Brother, let's go!"

He carried his brother on his back and walked down step by step.

"Get out of the way!"

Suo Yun lay on his back and murmured: "When you were young, you tossed and dragged me out to cover your back every time you were beaten. You always said that you don't panic if you have someone to accompany you when you are beaten. Don't panic, I panic!"

"Ok!"

Lan Jian shouted towards the city gate: "Open the city gate!"

The soldiers of the Death Battalion rushed down like a tide, some of them went to chase and kill, and some of them came to carry the sundries blocked behind the city gate.

"The family is poor and has many children. My father said that he can only support us until we are 15 years old, and then he doesn't care. But when we were 14 years old, he kicked you and me out and let us fend for ourselves."

Suo Yun said with a smile: "At that time you were crying, as if the sky had fallen, and you went back several times to beg. But I didn't know that man was hard-hearted. Later, I took you to kill people."

Lan Jian thought of the first time he killed someone. It was a tribal nobleman who was also the enemy of the leader. Suo Yun led him to guard the man for two days. On the third night, while the nobleman was out to pee, Suo Yun went up and stabbed him. .Then he called Lan Jian to come up to make up the knife, and said, "Learn how to kill as soon as possible."

"But you vomited for a long time afterwards!" Lan Jian said.

"Yes! That smell of blood is too bad." Suo Yun laughed.

Later, the two brothers followed the leader and became his guards.When his father saw that they were promising, he came to ask for money, and Suo Yun also gave it, and he gave a lot.

Lan Jian was not angry, and felt that the man was too cruel and should not give him money.

"He raised us, or he would have drowned us after we were born."

When there are too many children in the family to support, the best way is to drown.

In some places, male infants were even deliberately drowned to avoid the poll tax.

Suo Yun is grateful, so he has always been very kind to his father.

"People who don't know how to be grateful will suffer big losses sooner or later. There are gods watching you! If you lose your heart, the gods will remember it. If you don't report it now, you will definitely report it later. Remember Erlang, don't do it." I'm sorry, follow Your Majesty well..."

"it is good!"

The city gate opened, and Lan Jian ran out all the way with Suo Yun on his back.

"Remember, the credit is yours."

"it is good!"

Lan Jian carried his brother on his back and ran all the way to the place where the doctors treated the wounded.

"Miracle Doctor Chen!"

He found Chen Huagu.

"Who was hurt?" Chen Huagu asked.

"My brother."

Chen Huagu put down the wounded in his hand, got up and walked over, took a look, and wiped it with his hand.

"he has gone."

Lan Jian put his brother down.

There was still a smile on Suo Yun's face, as if urging him to kill people, urging him to remember that the credit is his own...

Lan Jian knelt down and said in a trembling voice:

"Brother!"

In the first year of Yongde, Suo Yun died in the battle of Fangzhou.
