Entrepreneurship in the Late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 72: Liver and Gallbladder (Tomorrow I will go to Sanjiang, thank you brothers for your support along the way)
It turned out that just now, the East Gate, which was originally closed, suddenly opened. A group of villagers in plain clothes suddenly opened the city gate and shouted to the outside:
"We are the people of Qiongzhou, and we are here to serve the king. Please enter the city quickly, enter the city quickly."

The Nanzhao army on the city wall was fighting desperately to resist the Chengdu general who was attacking the city. Suddenly, they saw the city gate below was wide open. They were shocked and shouted in panic.

Without any instructions from their superiors, the Nanzhao troops near the city gate began to rush here madly. If they didn't fight hard, they would be finished.

Thus, in the blink of an eye, the East City Gate was in chaos.

Xianyu Yue, who was supposed to lead the generals to attack the city, saw this scene and thought for a moment before shouting:
"Kill them! Kill!"

As he said this, Xian Yu Yue drew his sword and was about to rush towards the city gate.

Ren Tong, who was leading his troops and entourage nearby, didn't dare to let Xianyu Yue charge alone, so he quickly led dozens of generals to rush to the city gate.

But Xianyu Yue did not stop, and soon Ren Tong rushed over with more people.

Of course, he thought about whether this was a strategy of the enemy to lure the enemy, but in order to capture Qiongzhou City, Xian Yu Yue was willing to take the risk.

Unlike Zhao Da who was barefoot, Xian Yuyue wanted to make progress too much and restore the glory of his ancestors too much.

So, at this moment, this noble family kid lost all his image and ran and roared:

"Everyone, charge in! This is the time to make a difference."

On the other side, Song Yuan, who was commanding his troops to attack the city, saw this scene and stamped his feet anxiously, his eyes red, and shouted to the Chengdu generals who were attacking the city:
"Brothers, let's fight these Nanzhao dogs!"

After saying that, Song Yuan also drew out his sword and climbed the ladder himself to relieve the pressure on Xian Yu Yue and others heading towards the city gate.

……

At this time, the narrow city gate was filled with wailing, like hell on earth.

When Ren Tong and his men rushed in, all the righteous men who had originally stayed in Kaesong had been killed or wounded because they had no armor, but this made Ren Tong feel at ease. Killing them like this was definitely not to lure the enemy.

So, Ren Tong shouted loudly and rushed quickly towards an armored warrior of the Nanzhao army who was about to close the door.

The man had just finished killing someone and was about to push the city gate, but before he could move, he screamed and was hit in the chest by Ren Tong's iron mace, and fell to the ground with blood spurting out.

After hitting the man, Ren Tong moved to another Nanzhao soldier, grabbed the spear that was stabbing at him, and smashed the man's head with the iron mace in his right hand.

The shattered skull spurted out liquid like magma, covering Ren Tong's body in white and red, making him look like an evil ghost.

The Brazilian general Ren Tong was so brave that he instantly crushed two Nanzhao warriors with an iron mace and firmly controlled the city gate.

Behind him, more and more Chengdu generals rushed in and killed all the Nanzhao troops inside the city gate.

It was only at this time that Ren Tong breathed a sigh of relief.

Their general finally captured the city of Qiongzhou. Just as he was about to wait for follow-up troops, he suddenly saw Xianyu Yue rushing in with dozens of armored soldiers.

He wanted to hold Xian Yu Yue back, but he couldn't stop him at all. He could only watch as his husband rushed into the city.

At this moment, Ren Tong looked into the city from the deep city gate, and his heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason. So he hurriedly shouted:
"My dear, withdraw, withdraw."

But it was too late. Xianyu Yue and his men rushed into the city and went straight into the inner city. But in the blink of an eye, a team of Nanzhao archers appeared on the city wall and shot wildly at Xianyu Yue below.

In just a moment, the generals around Xianyu Yue fell to the ground, and he himself was hit by two arrows. The armored soldiers who were accompanying him risked their lives to drag him into the city gate.

It happened too quickly. Ren Tong was about to take Xian Yu Yue away, but suddenly there was a creaking sound above his head. Ren Tong was frightened and looked up blankly.

I saw a gate made of iron sheets suddenly fall out of the door slot.

Ren Tong was so frightened that he subconsciously raised his hand to push the brake, but how could it be of any use with such a huge force?

In an instant, the brake brushed against Ren Tong's nose and hit the shoulder of a general standing nearby heavily.

Then Ren Tong and Xian Yu Yue behind him watched helplessly as their comrade was crushed into a pulp.

And their exit from the city was completely blocked.

……

On the donkey cart, Zhao Huaian watched Xian Yuyue lead his men into the city, stamping his feet and shouting:

"Oh, brother, you are too reckless. Be careful of traps."

Teacher Yang, who was standing next to him, was about to mock Zhao Da for being cowardly when he saw Zhao Huaian shouting:
"Where are Bashan and the Iron Beast?"

Then Generals Wang Jin and Han Qiong put on their armor and held their weapons, clasped their fists and saluted.

Zhao Huaian waved his small flag, pointed directly at the top of the city wall, and shouted an order:
"Your second division will immediately attack the city and cover my eldest brother's assault."

Zhao Huaian was really anxious, worried that Xian Yu Yue would be in danger, so he immediately sent his two most elite heavy infantry teams.

Wang Jin and Han Qiong clasped their fists, and with their armor plates clashing along the way, they each led fifty elite armored warriors to rush towards the city gate.

But when Teacher Yang, who was standing next to him, saw this, he curled his lips in disdain and cursed inwardly:
"This Zhao Da is clearly trying to steal the credit, yet he speaks so elegantly and elegantly. He's such a bad guy."

Alas, the prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain. Over there, Zhao Huaian gave the order and stared at the doorway in front of him, fearing that something unexpected would happen.

But just as Zhao Huaian blinked, the city gate suddenly dropped a heavy gate, locking the gate shut.

At this moment, a chill rushed from the soles of Zhao Huaian's feet to his forehead.

He suddenly recalled the countless nights he and Xian Yuyue had slept side by side, the scene of their first meeting, and even more so the time when they drank blood wine, became sworn brothers, shared life and death, and were loyal to each other.

Then, a surge of hot blood rushed back to my forehead.

Zhao Huaian didn't even think about it, and yelled at the waiting soldiers at the top of his lungs:

"Beat the drums! Push everything in! Pour it all into Qiongzhou City! Kill him! Kill him!"

Zhao Liu's hand trembled, and he grabbed the suona at his waist to his lips and blew it with all his might. Niu Li next to him also started beating the small drum, and the twelve shirtless men behind him were beating the big drum frantically, which was thrilling.

At the front, the sixteenth team of Baoyi City, who had been waiting for a long time, all stood up when they heard the drum. Such a drum sound must mean that the entire army is going to attack!

So, the eighteen generals in the front, including Zhou Dexing, Wei Jingang, Han Tong, etc., all raised their troops and shouted, and led their troops straight to Qiongzhou City.

We are bound by life and death in this day.

……

When Wang Jin and Han Qiong, along with Bashan and Tieshou, were halfway through their charge, they suddenly saw the iron gate at the city gate fall down.

At that moment, Han Qiong was obviously stunned for a moment, until he saw Wang Jin next to him leading the mountain-moving team and heading straight for the ladders under the city, then he reacted.

Feeling humiliated, Han Qiong pushed aside the armored soldier in front of him who was about to climb the ladder, stepped on the ladder, and climbed up the city wall like a wild beast.

But just as he was about to climb up the city wall, he saw out of the corner of his eye that Wang Jin, who had also climbed up first, jumped directly from the ladder, and then leaped onto the top of the city wall like a roc and beheaded the Nanzhao warriors there.

Wang Jin first climbed up the city wall and took a look at the Chengdu generals who were still fighting desperately on the top of the city wall. They were obviously unaware of what was happening on the city gate tower. They were still following the normal city training, occupying the battlements and forming a battlement to withstand the counterattack of the Nanzhao army.

Although Wang Jin had only been in Baoyi for a short time, he knew that General Xianyu Yue would be their sworn brothers. When he heard the continuous attack drumbeats from the rear, he realized that his own general must be going crazy with anxiety.

He first shouted to Song Yuan and others over there:
"The enemy has broken the gate, and General Xianyu is trapped in the gate. Go and rescue him quickly."

After saying that, Wang Jin did not hesitate to lead Bashandu down the city wall along the horse-faced horse, and fought with the Nanzhao army who were fighting fiercely outside the gate.

Over there, Song Yuan was commanding the generals to form a formation in order to defend this section of the city wall and let the generals below come up.

But after hearing what Wang Jin said, Song Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he rushed into the Nanzhao army in front like a madman, slashing wildly with the sword in his hand, regardless of anything, and he no longer looked like a handsome man.

And around him, the generals were also roaring madly, fighting for their lives, which shows the status of Xianyu Yue in their hearts.

At this time, Han Qiong had already climbed up and saw that all he could see were crazy people risking their lives. He was shocked and first threw the Nanzhao army flag tied to the edge of the battlement off the wall, then turned around and stuck the "Baoyi" flag behind him on the top of the city wall.

Then Han Qiong looked at the city wall leisurely. When he saw that Wang Jin had rushed into the Nanzhao army under the city wall from the side, he shook his head and looked at the city walls on both sides.

Seeing the Nanzhao army archers who were afraid to shoot because of the presence of friendly troops below, Han Qiong showed a ferocious smile and shouted to the "Iron Beast" team soldiers who were climbing up the city wall beside him:
"kill!"

After saying that, he led fifty heavy infantrymen to charge brutally towards the unarmored Nanzhao archers.

……

Zhao Huaian had already arrived at the front line. He saw that Han Tong was lagging behind at the foot of the city wall and started cursing on the spot:

"Han Da, can you do it? If not, come down, I'll do it for you!"

The battlefield was filled with noise, but Han Tong, who was standing under the ladder, happened to hear these words and his face turned red with shame.

He cursed loudly, dragged down the men who were slowly climbing the ladder, then put his sword behind his waist and shouted at the hedgehog team around him:
"The generals are watching us from behind. How do they treat us on weekdays? Now is the time for us to fight with our lives. I, Han Da, am making this statement. I will ascend first today. If I die, He Laoer, you lead the team to continue the charge. But if I find that any of you do not fight with your lives or use your swords, I, Han Da, will kill you."

After saying that, Han Tong slammed his helmet to the ground, put the round shield on his left arm, and climbed up quickly with his limbs, facing the arrows and stones from above like a monkey in the mountains.

At this moment, Han Tong is like the climbing monkey in the mountains, who must be able to challenge the gods.

……

At this moment, Zhao Huaian was like a cruel coach, loudly cursing the generals of each team on the front line, and all the officers and warriors, under Zhao Huaian's personal supervision, burst into a strong desire to fight.

At this moment, Zhao Huaian used countless emotions, money, food, wine and meat to treat his brothers sincerely in exchange for their desperate fight.

All the soldiers rushed to the top of the city wall under the encouragement of war drums and suona. Zhou Dexing was the first to go up to the city wall, followed by Zhang Dai, and then the warriors from each team. Almost at the same time, on the east city wall, the eighteen teams of Baoyidu attacked the top of the city wall in full force.

After defeating the Nanzhao army on the city wall, the eighteen teams immediately split up and went down the city to support the Bashan team and Wang Jin who were fighting bloody battles.

By that time, the mountain-moving team had already defeated three enemy teams, and Wang Jin had already killed eight bandit officials with his own hands.

Brave men like Zhou Dexing and Sun Chuanwei took a deep breath as they looked at Wang Jin, who was covered in blood, his armor torn, and surrounded by corpses.

How powerful can one man be than this?
