People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 85 Siege
Talent is the most important!
Li Yao has always been implementing this principle.

With the prestige of their father and son, each of the chieftains naturally had to weigh one or two, so they all patted their chests and promised that they would definitely restrain the tribe after they entered the city.

Absolutely will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, those people let their father and son dispose of them.

But these are empty words. Who knows what will happen after they really enter the city?So this is just to let them have a mental preparation in advance!

Because before this, Li Yao had successfully convinced his father that people can create too much value, farming, grazing, smelting, building...

All the wealth in this world is created by the hardest working people!

Therefore, Li Wenhou has agreed that he will lead the troops in to rob the people as soon as they break the city.

Of course it's too early to say...

The next day, the sun rose!
After a night's rest, the army regrouped and surrounded Jixian County. The rebels who couldn't see the end at a glance were enough to make people frightened and lose the heart to resist.

This is actually the case at the head of Jixian County now. Except for a few soldiers of the Han army in leather armor, the rest are ordinary people in civilian clothes. Seeing this situation, their legs are weak.

Not only these people, but even Zuo Chang was also afraid. Even though he was wearing full armor, as the governor of Liangzhou, he had to stand here, but the selfish cowardice in his heart was urging him to leave quickly.

Only Gai Xun was still walking around the city, comforting the soldiers and the people, with a relaxed smile on his face, trying to infect everyone with this.

Among the rebels outside the city, it was Li Yao who came out on horseback. He looked at the city of Ji County, which was full of people, and Gai Xun must be inside, so he persuaded loudly:
"Gai Gong, why are you doing this? Now that the imperial court has abandoned Liangzhou, so what can you do if you keep Ji County..."

Speaking of this, Li Yao took the initiative to step aside to make way for the people behind him, and at the same time shouted loudly again:

"Look, Mr. Gai, who are they!"

Then Chen Yi and Ling Zheng were pushed out again, but Chen Yi still looked the same, only Ling Zheng knew each other best:
"Yuan Gu, the eunuchs in the imperial court are arbitrarily arbitrarily arbitrarily arbitrarily powerful, and we, the scholars, have no future at all. Why don't you follow us and raise troops together. As long as you can open the city and surrender, you will be rich..."

"shut up!"

Before Lingzheng could finish speaking, Gai Xun at the top of the wall interrupted him angrily. At this moment, he looked at Chen Yilingzheng with eyes that were about to burst:

"You rebels, do you know what is the reward of eating the king, what is the matter of being loyal to the king, now that the country is in crisis, and they don't want to share the worries for His Majesty, they even directly rebelled. The side of the Qing Dynasty, and the rebel army are all excuses..."

Gai Xun scolded endlessly, and at first Li Yao could understand it, but later on even he couldn't understand it.

I don't know what allusions were used, although there was no swearing in them, but Chen Yi and Ling Zheng covered their faces and walked away, which shows that the ones Gai Xun scolded were still ugly.

Li Yao only wanted to read and write, and then he went to practice martial arts. Li Yao, a semi-literate person, couldn't understand it, and the other illiterates couldn't understand it even more.

But everyone knows that the persuasion to capitulate has failed, so now they can only forcibly attack the city.

"Mr. Gai..."

At this time, another person ran out on horseback. He was dressed as a barbarian. He was the leader of Jujuzhong Qiang, Dianwu. He was worried that Gai Xun would be injured when he attacked the city, so he wanted to persuade him again:
"Gai Gong, you should surrender. Now our [-] troops have assembled. If this city cannot be defended, I will protect you and send you home. You are a sage, you shouldn't die here!"

"Dianwu..."

Gai Xun said in a low voice, he was a little surprised to see the other party, and at the same time, he also knew that the other party had good intentions, but if he showed a little weakness at this time, the city would be finished, the army's morale would be lost, and he would not have the heart to resist desperately.

So he opened his mouth and cursed:

"Don't talk too much, the thieves. Even if the old man dies in battle today, he will live and die with the people of the whole city..."

"I really misunderstood you back then. If I knew that you would rebel against a big man, this old man would never protect you and your people!"

Hearing Gai Xun mention that year, Dianwu also fell silent. It was very snowy that year, and he and his clan were plundered by other tribes. If Gai Xun hadn't protected him, their tribe would have perished long ago.

The big man has no kindness to him, but Gai Xun has kindness to him. He can rebel against the big man, but he can't let him down.

Dianwu could only helplessly say:

"Even if Ge Gong scolds me, I will protect Ge Gong after breaking the city, and I will never let other people hurt you!"

After finishing speaking, Dianwu rode back to the army formation.

Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu, the two of them failed to persuade everyone they saw, and they also directly ordered the attack:

"The former army cavalry is ready to shoot arrows!"

When the order was gradually passed on, the former army cavalry charged and quickly rushed to the city.

In a very short period of time, they shot three consecutive rounds of arrow rain, and then deftly rode their horses back.

At the top of the city, Gai Xun knew the tactics of the Qiang people, and immediately ordered everyone to squat down against the city wall.

As for Zuo Chang, the moment he saw the cavalry charge, he turned around and fled in embarrassment.

Zuo Chang felt even more resentful in his heart:

"No wonder you are so indifferent. It turns out that the Qiang rebels will not kill you. They just want to use me and the people of the city to honor your loyalty. They are really vicious. I will never let you succeed, I will definitely not let you succeed!"

call out!call out!call out!
The dense rain of arrows had already fallen from the sky at this time. Although the momentum was directly full, the killing ability could only be called scraping.

If you think about it carefully, you can understand that riding a bow is not as powerful as a walking bow. After all, the power of pursuing flexibility and speed of fire must be greatly reduced.

Moreover, these arrows are still shot from the bottom up, even if they really fall on people, they can only hurt people at most.

Therefore, when the defenders at the top of the city and the people were avoiding the rain of arrows, the rebels really began to attack the city.

Thousands of soldiers rushed towards the gate of the city, carrying ladders and bumping logs.

The ladder and the wooden bumper were all made by Li Yao during this period, but that's all, like the ballista, the catapult... and no one knew how to make it.

There is only the ladder, which is an extended version of the ladder, which is used to allow soldiers to climb the city wall, and the bumper, which is a sharpened thick log, which is used to allow soldiers to hit the city gate.

City offensive and defensive battles have always been the most cruel, and for the attacking party, they have always used their lives to fill in the city in order to truly capture it.

"kill!"

The cruelest battle has now begun!
