Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 277

He turned around, his expression was completely normal, and he bowed to the crystal curtain gracefully.

"Queen."

On the evening of the [-]th day of the first lunar month in the sixth year of Qianyuan, the allied forces of Xiliang and Wei Yan formally opened the prelude to the final battle for hegemony after an attempted trap failed.

Xiliang adopted unconventional tactics this time. When he lost the opportunity, the city was occupied, and he had just marched a long distance to the city of Yunzhou before he had time to rest, he brazenly launched an attack on the dominant Wei-Yan coalition forces.

The guards at the city gate have one person every two meters. The soldiers of the Wei Army and the Yan Army accounted for half. She has always been regarded as a god-man, and she is vigilant and does not dare to disobey, but Wei Jun doesn't have much affection for the pure concubine, because why didn't the King of France criticize the only woman among the three giants of the Northern Wei Dynasty, " The female-faced snake, the demon of the deep marsh, watching out for the hidden, will surely bring disaster to my lord."

People in the Northern Wei Dynasty would not worship her, and King He Fa made a conclusion that the status of Concubine Chun, at least in the hearts of the people at the bottom, would be difficult to recover.

The soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty would not listen to such an order issued by such a disaster and evil spirit. They fought against their knives and guns and went to find a shelter on the tower to sleep. Showing off the gold, silver and jewels that they collected last night, they estimated the value of each other, and were intoxicated with their skyrocketing wealth.

So there was an extremely strange scene on the top of the city. The side guarded by Dongyan soldiers, the flags were solemn and solemn, and everyone stood up straight like javelins. too mouth.

The army of Xiliang went directly to that half of the city wall.

All the bed crossbows and catapults that could be brought were used. The bed crossbow was composed of eight crossbows linked together. The arrows used were as thick as cart bars, and the arrowheads were as big as giant axes. The weight of a ten-year-old child.

Xiao Jue gave an order, and heavy arrows and huge stones roared through the sky immediately, smashing viciously at the city wall with a sharp sound of wind, followed by burning mud balls wrapped in dry grass, and Zhong Chuan rushing to the city wall. A good batch of explosives provided.

A blue light flashed in the black night sky, and the deafening crash hit the thick city wall almost at the same time. Every stone fell, and the piles on the top of the city were immediately cut off, accompanied by the screams of human bodies falling to the ground, followed by the burning And the explosive bombs further expanded the destructive power. Before the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty had time to stuff their crotches, the fire balls shining with the light of death had penetrated into their pants, burning the gold and silver treasures and their own treasures at the same time.

Xiliang's stone-throwing vigor is even more in the style of Naidi, extremely crazy. Bed crossbows and throwing stones poured non-stop at the eastern city wall guarded by the Northern Wei Dynasty. The stone carts below smashed into the city gate over and over again. The frenzied tide rushed, swarmed up, and used the hook to climb the city wall desperately. Under the light of the torch, only the heads of people surging like ants could be seen.

Naturally, the soldiers of Dongyan would not allow the city walls guarded by the Northern Wei Dynasty to be breached easily. After the initial sudden and violent blow, the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty who failed to react suffered heavy casualties, but the soldiers of Dongyan quickly made substitutes. Shooting with thorns, smashing and choking, burning and pouring, and well-trained torches stretched out of the wall, the dazzling flames shone, and the top of the city became a blind spot. However, the defenders could clearly see the enemy's movements in the future, resulting in a situation where one side was passively beaten.

On the top of the city, the soldiers who climbed earlier and the coalition soldiers fought face-to-face, the sound of long knives piercing into the flesh continued. On the soles of military boots.

The strong attack lasted for a whole night, and the collision and burning of Xiliang caused some damage to the city wall, but unfortunately, except for the demolished city wall, the other city walls of Yunzhou followed the order of the beloved Queen Ruiyi, and built It is extremely strong, and the big gap last night has been guarded by Bai Yuan early today. The troops in the city are stronger than those outside the city. Withdrew three times and fought all night, but still failed to attack the city wall.

Originally, if it was a serious siege battle, then Xiao Jue and Qin Changge had a lot of ways to attack the city. Heaping earth platforms to occupy the commanding heights to suppress the city wall, and digging tunnels to collapse the city wall are all good methods. However, it will take time. What is time.

After attacking the city overnight, the three of Xiao Jue didn't close their eyes. At dawn, Qin Changge fell asleep lying on the table.

Xiao Jue looked at her, sighed infinitely lovingly, walked over lightly, and wanted to put some clothes on her, but Chu Feihuan, who was sitting at the side reading the military newspaper, suddenly shook his hand at him.

Xiao Jue was startled, and understood what he meant, Changge was very vigilant, putting clothes on her would wake her up, so he gave up immediately, Chu Feihuan gestured to him, and the two went out of the tent together.

Looking at the tragic battle situation ahead, Xiao Jue sighed helplessly, and ordered the troops to retreat. With the sound of golden bells, Xiliang began to retreat in an orderly manner.

On the top of the city, the banner of dancing double dragons with yellow background and red characters was immediately waved wildly, dancing extremely arrogantly.

Xiao Jue snorted heavily, but Chu Feihuan said: "The scouts will be rewarded, there are indeed enemy troops three hundred miles away from Shangshan Mountain."

"In other words, we still have at most one day and one night to attack Yunzhou," Xiao Jue said with a frown, "Shan Shao's army is also three or four hundred miles away, farther than Wei Yan's coalition forces, but the road conditions are better than theirs , it took about the same amount of time, and it was impossible to be sure who would arrive first."

"The subordinates of the Huangmeng army have been dispatched to search for the enemy on Mount Queshang, trying to harass the enemy and delay their arrival," Chu Feihuan looked at the Xiliang army retreating back to the camp, and looked at the Queshang River outside Yunzhou city. Passing by, he said very slowly: "The enemy is fighting against the city, and their military strength and generals are not inferior to mine. It is really difficult to win with a strong attack. Your Majesty, there is another way..."

"No, I can't," Xiao Jue shook his head immediately, and frowned and looked in the direction of the Queshang River, "I know you are talking about water attack, but the Queshang River is upstream of Yunzhou City. Zhou, the enemy army must be defeated, but, but... no, let alone me, even Changge would never agree."

"Irrigate the city with water, and all living beings will be wiped out. I know His Majesty can't bear to be buried with the 40 elders in Yunzhou," Chu Feihuan's face was almost transparent under the sunlight, even his lips were white, but his words were as cold as iron, " But, in Yunzhou now, are there any elders?"

Xiao Jue was startled by this sentence, turned his head suddenly, even his voice changed, "What did you say? No, it can't be like this, it can't be!"

"Your Majesty, you know, as for that person, Bai Yuan, he can do it completely, not to mention that there is the leader of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Whether it is Wanyan Chunzhen or the brothers of the Wei family, they are not afraid of massacring the city. In order to avoid future troubles and to motivate the soldiers, this This is the best way." Chu Feihuan still looked as cold as a thousand-year-old ice crystal, "Your Majesty, you just can't bear to think about it, just like Changge, and Changge is the same."

Xiao Jue took a step back, looked in the direction of Yunzhou, clenched his fingers tightly into fists, his fists couldn't help shaking, and said for a long time: "40, 40 lives... If this is the case, Changge will be mad, Yunzhou Although she has never lived in it, it is her ancestral home. She was brought into the teacher's school since she was a child, and she doesn't know her parents. The only thing she knows is that the teacher told her that her ancestral home is Yunzhou, so she has always had a special feeling for Yunzhou. Because of this, I am also very kind to Yunzhou, and I am exempted from paying taxes every year... No, I can't."

"His Majesty!"

An announcement interrupted Xiao Jue's distracted whispers, Xiao Jue looked back and saw Feng Ziguang standing three feet away with his head down, followed by an extremely embarrassed soldier covered in dust and black smoke.

Xiao Jue stared at the soldier, feeling suddenly ominous in his heart, who is this?It's not a matter of great importance, Feng Ziguang will bring a soldier to see him?
Seeing Xiao Jue's gaze sweeping towards him, Feng Ziguang immediately knelt down with a face of embarrassment, and first apologized for the failure of the siege. Xiao Jue said indifferently: "You did your best, and it's not your fault. Didn't I always personally supervise the battle? Who is this?"

Feng Ziguang opened his mouth, and suddenly seemed to be struggling to speak, but the soldier suddenly threw himself on his knees, knelt down to the dust at Xiao Jue's feet, raised his face covered with smoke, dust and blood, and burst into tears.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The grassroots are the guards of Yunzhou. They escaped in the chaos... Yunzhou... 40 elders in Yunzhou City, 40 elders have been slaughtered!"

Xiao Jue swayed suddenly, his face turned yellow in an instant, Feng Ziguang supported him, and called anxiously: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't worry, Your Majesty, the dragon's body is important..."

"Fart!" The second swear word in Xiao Jue's life finally raged out at this moment. He only felt that his whole heart was being burned by the fire, and the smell of blood and rust poured into his throat. Such overwhelming anger He rushed over, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Feng Ziguang's terrified calls sounded in his ears, Xiao Jue only felt the chaos and noise, and he shoved Feng Ziguang viciously, Feng Ziguang was pushed out of Zhang Xu, and rolled far away on the ground.

The soldier walked a few steps on the ground, knocked his head heavily on the dust, and when he lifted it up, his face was already covered in blood.

"Your Majesty! Last night in Yunzhou, there were countless bloody corpses, and human heads piled up on Chengtian Street! No family in the whole city was saved, and no woman was kept chaste. The 40 Yunzhou elders were wiped out overnight. !"

With tears streaming down his face, he kowtowed on the ground.

"I beg Your Majesty to avenge my elders in Yunzhou!"

Qin Changge was dreaming.

There are shadows in front of my eyes, and there is a blurred mist that can't stop wandering. It seems to be the shady curtain of Longzhang Palace, or it seems to be the bead curtain of the inner room of my Taishi Mansion. The curtains are layered and layered. Walking layer by layer, it's like entering a maze, and you can't get to the end no matter what.
