The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 880 Chapter 860 Nine: The siege fails, the rebels show defeat
The next morning, those rebels continued to attack the city, and the fighting continued from morning to night, with casualties on both sides!

Because the generals who attacked the city had their own thoughts, the intensity of the siege was not as good as the first day. However, this also had some advantages, that is, the number of casualties on both sides was greatly reduced.

As the siege failed for a day, after dark, the two sides ceased fighting.

Zhu Zhifu looked at Duan Wuji and asked: "Master Imperial Envoy, why do you think they attacked the city today less fiercely than yesterday?
What's the matter? "

Duan Wuji smiled slightly.

"Prefect Zhu, don't you understand such a simple matter?

These people just want to delay for two more days, so that we can free up our hands to kill them!

Now we don't have enough manpower anyway, we rush out of the city now, at best we can only drive them away, if we want to kill them all, I'm afraid we still can't do it.

After my Brother Tieniu and the others return to the division, things will be different.

When the time comes, we will eliminate them again, wouldn't it be much easier!
Zhu Zhifu, tomorrow morning, you order the soldiers to remove all the sandbags blocking the gate of the city.

This will make it easier for us to go out of town.

Otherwise, when our army returns to the division, you get those sand bags again, wouldn't that waste time? "

Zhu Zhifu grinned when he heard this.

"Master Imperial Envoy, my officer, I will order the soldiers to do these things tomorrow morning.

Do not worry!It will definitely not delay you from going out of the city to attack them. "

After dark, those rebels also bowed their heads and returned to the barracks. Today, they attacked the city for a whole day. It can be said that they got nothing!

Except that the number of casualties is a little less than yesterday, there is no progress in other places!

After the big leader Ruan Jishi had dinner, he suddenly felt an inexplicable panic in his heart, which made him restless, and his muscles twitched!
The kid felt an inexplicable panic, and he didn't know why for a while.

Ruan Jishi hurriedly ordered the soldiers to gather all the leaders of each battalion to discuss the current military form together!

As soon as Ruan Jishi saw that all the people had arrived, he quickly said to everyone: "Everyone, to tell you the truth, just now I felt an inexplicable discomfort in my heart, and I don't know why!

That's why I brought everyone together to discuss the current military situation!
Ladies and gentlemen, please sit down!Today we want to speak freely, anyone can say what they want to say, as long as they say what they really want.

I also thought about it just now, in fact, our current situation is dangerous enough. This city has been attacked for two days and we can't take it down. I think it will be difficult to take it down tomorrow!

Let me tell you that if we can't attack when it gets dark tomorrow, we will all fight on our own and separate and quickly evacuate.

Go fast, we may still have a way out, if it's too late, we won't dare to say it. "

"Brother, why are you becoming so timid now? As the saying goes, if you are afraid of death, you can't be a general, and you have a bowl-sized scar on your head!

You and my brothers are all over the world, do you think we are still afraid of this?

In my opinion, if we can't attack the city, we will attack them for two more days. Anyway, we are now in an offensive position!

Brother, what do you think? "

Ruan Jishi shook his head.

"Ruan Xiong, have you ever thought about it, our life or death doesn't matter, aren't our parents still at home! Besides, aren't our wives and children waiting for us to go back!

What if the gang of bastards deliberately drag us here, and then send troops to arrest our family members!

Brother, don't underestimate those bastards!Those Tang people are treacherous and bad, but they don't have any good intentions! "

"Brother, do those idiots have such high intelligence?
Brother, do you think too highly of them? "

"Boss, what are they afraid of when they arrest our family members? They arrest them and feed them alive."

"Ruan Hu, you idiot, are you supporting your family members? Isn't this a dream? If they catch them, they might cut them down on the spot.

Still supporting your family?Isn't this a sweet dream? "

"Ah? Not so, are those people so ruthless! Will they kill all our relatives!"

"Who dares to say this! I hope the heavens will bless them and keep them safe.

Generals, you have to make preparations early tomorrow night. If the situation is critical, we will really have no one to care about. We will all flee back to our hometown, which is our hometown!

In the future, I will go fishing on the Mekong River and live that kind of leisurely pastoral life!

In the future, I will never step into the border of the Tang Dynasty again.

Well, everyone, let's go back and rest, let's stop here today! "

After the meeting ended, Ruan Xiaoqi and Ruan Xiaowu were walking back when Ruan Shizi stopped them.

"Xiaoqi, Xiaowu, let's go, go to my tent and rest for a while, I really have something to discuss with you!"

As soon as the two brothers heard that it was Ruan Shizi, they immediately followed him to a remote tent. After entering the tent and sitting down, the two looked at Ruan Shizi and said, "Old man, what's the matter?" Yeah? You and I are not outsiders, so if you have anything to say, just say it!"

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Wu, where are your older brothers? Why haven't you seen them?"

"Hmm! Maybe they've gone back to the tent!
Uncle, if you have anything to say, you can tell our brothers. The tents of our brothers are all next to each other. We can tell them when we go back. "

"You two nephews, the boss has already made a decision, we will evacuate tomorrow night.

However, I always feel that it may be too late to spread it again tomorrow night. At that time, we will all retreat together. You say, can the enemy not pursue it?
Once you are bitten by the enemy, it will be too late to evacuate. I tell you, uncle, I don’t want to die. I want to live for a few more years. Once I die, it’s over, isn’t it? !

Wait another hour, when people are asleep, I will quietly evacuate, I want to stay away from the place of right and wrong.

To be honest, I object from the bottom of my heart to the big boss and the others making such nonsense!Isn't this a joke about our hundreds of thousands of lives!

Once the war is defeated, I think none of our hundreds of thousands of relatives will survive!

Fortunately, our family members haven't moved here yet, so we don't have any psychological burden. "

"Uncle, since you think so, why didn't you say it in that big tent just now?"

"You two bastards, why can't you even figure this out! Do you think we can evacuate alive?
If you think so, then you are wrong.

Let me tell you that it is safe for us to evacuate quietly only when the large group of people and horses have not dispersed!

By the time of tomorrow morning, maybe I have already run far away!

You guys are following me, you still make up your mind to stay here! "

"Uncle, is this method really feasible? Don't be unable to leave at that time!"

"Of course it can be done. My brothers will be on duty for a while. As long as we keep a low profile, we can discard the things that should be discarded, and then we can slip away quietly."

"Uncle, since this is the case, then we can go together, we will pack up when we go back, and at the same time, let's inform my brother and brothers.

Let them clean up, too, and after a certain day, we will sneak away, and by the time tomorrow dawns, we will have already disappeared. "

"Well! Then you are ready to go.

Let me tell you, this is a confidential matter!

Once the news is revealed, he will be beheaded on the charge of shaking the morale of the army! "

"I know, I know, don't we even know this!
Don't worry, there will never be any news!

Uncle, then we two brothers will go back, you should clean up too!
We'll send someone to let you know when we're done packing. "

After finishing speaking, the two brothers left quietly.

After more than an hour, the night gradually deepened, and there was silence outside the city!

Ruan Shizi and his group secretly left the barracks and slipped away all the way south.

After dawn, when Ruan Jishi ordered troops again, he realized that these people were missing!

Ho!Annoyed Ruan Jishi, that's jumping around and cursing!

After scolding for a long time, Ruan Jishi gradually suppressed the anger.

However, there are not many of these people who can escape, that is, more than 3000 people!

Although the number of people who escaped was not too many, it also caused great instability in the morale of the army!

Ruan Jishi rallied and began to attack the city again. He continued to attack until noon, but there was no progress at all!

When eating lunch, the two sides called a truce.

Ruan Jishi was standing in the big tent worrying deeply, when a soldier ran in.

"Report! Report to the commander-in-chief, the big thing is not good! There are two bloody soldiers outside the tent who want to see you and say they have something important to report to you!"

Ruan Jishi didn't want to see them at all, but after thinking about it, he said, "Let them in, let me see what's going on with them!"

Two soldiers came in, lay down on the ground and said: "Commander, something is wrong, our home was attacked by the Tang army.

The Tang army rushed into our stockade, killing everyone on sight, and burning houses on sight!

The two of us were soldiers who stayed to defend the town. After those Tang soldiers captured a stockade, and after they left, the two of us slipped into the stockade and took a look, ranging from old men in their 80s to [-] years old, down to nursing children , that is not one left!

There was a one-year-old kid who, guess what, fell to his death on a rock with his brains coming out.

There is no way to describe the misery of the whole village.

The slogan of those savages is to kill us all, without saying a word!

When the two of us escaped, the gang of Tang troops were massacring the stockade. We guessed that it would not take long before the gang of Tang troops wiped out our stockade.

I'm afraid none of the family members we left behind will survive!The two of us were afraid that you would suffer losses here, so we rushed here with injuries.

Commander, how to deal with this matter, you should make a decision early!
Don't be indecisive at times, if you hesitate, it won't do us any good! "

When Ruan Jishi heard this, he collapsed on the seat, and he was so frightened that he could not speak for a long time!

After a long time, Ruan Jishi finally got over his breath!
"You two, leave me alone first, it makes me sad just thinking about it!

Dad!Mother, I didn't expect you to die so badly!

Dabao, Erbao, Xiaobao, where are the three of you now?
Daddy calls you, can you still hear? "

After crying for a long time, Ruan Jishi shouted loudly to the outside: "Beating drums and gathering generals, this matter is extremely urgent, don't waste time!

Once those gangsters return to the teacher, I'm afraid they will form a double attack on us, and then they will be unable to escape if they want to. "

The drums outside the big tent started beating urgently, it kept beating over and over again!

The generals were having lunch, and they were preparing to continue attacking the city after eating. When they heard the sound of drums, they put down their jobs and ran straight to the Chinese army tent.

"Commander, what's the matter! It's not safe to eat here."

While wiping his tears, Ruan Jishi said with a choked voice: "Brothers, two brothers came from our hometown just now, let me tell you a sad news, our old nest was taken by Tang Jun.

Those beasts, their hearts are really cruel!They have adopted an iron-blooded policy of killing everything.

Our villages have been bloodbathed by them one by one. It is estimated that none of our relatives will survive!

I really didn't expect that once Tang Jun became ruthless, he would be a hundred times more ruthless than us!

I guess they want to kill us all, kill us all!

It is said that people in Tang Dynasty benevolently discussed it, but I think that is nonsense!His grandma's, they started to be ruthless, and they didn't keep any of them!

Ladies and gentlemen, I brought you here to tell everyone that we can no longer attack the city in the afternoon, so let's quickly lead the troops to break through the siege.

If we escape, one is one, and if two escape, it is two. Let's go back to where we were before.

If we flee back to our motherland, maybe we still have a chance of survival! "

As soon as these people heard it, they immediately fell into a nest. They said everything, crying, cursing, and complaining.

When they heard that all their family members were killed, wouldn't these people be angry!
However, the anger is the anger, everyone can't care about anything else now, everyone ran out of the big tent one after another, and went to straighten out their teams.

Now this group of people doesn't care about anyone anymore, everything is just a cloud now, and the only thing that matters is saving their lives.

Duan Wuji had seen the chaos in the city a long time ago, and Duan Wuji knew what was going on with a guess.

"Master Zhifu, look at the appearance of the rebels, I guess they are going to flee! You leave four hundred soldiers to defend the city, and I will take the rest of the soldiers to kill the enemy.

After we went out, you quickly ordered the soldiers to close the city gate, you understand.

If you hold on for another day or two, this crisis will be over if it takes another day or two. "

"My lord, I will do whatever you want to tell me!

Imperial envoy, you must pay attention to safety! "

"It's okay, it's time to worry about it, my brother Tie Niu and the others should return to the teacher.

We will never go back to the city if we don't wipe them out completely today!
