Chapter 438 Fireworks
Winter December, 19th.
A waning moon hangs in the sky, like a piece of cake that has been chewed by a dog, or like a jade plate that has lost a corner and is incomplete.
The moonlight splashed on the snowfield like water, and the snow glow was as cold as a needle, piercing into the leather robe, iron armor, and felt hat like a substance, making it bone-chilling.
The army is about twenty feet away from the city, and the lights are still not lit. A faint cold light can be seen flashing, boundlessly.
Lines of hot air were exhaled from the mouths of the man and the horse, like countless fog dragons. Soon it condensed into mist, hanging on the brim of the hat and the horse's mane, as if a snow cliff was born out of thin air in mid-air, which was extremely spectacular.
Ten steps further towards the city, you will see the commander of the army.
There was a four-passenger carriage with a two-story carriage building. A large banner nearly ten feet long was swinging in the wind. I don't know what was written on it, but I could vaguely see the word "李".
Yuan Zhi is seven feet tall, with big shoulders and a round waist. If you only look at the back, he looks exactly like Li Song.
If you are strong, your strength will be great, and your voice will naturally be loud. Yuan Zhi held the banner in his hand, pointed at the city wall like a gun, and sounded like a loud bell: "The holy festival is here, and you are turning a blind eye. Could it be that you want to rebel?"
”
The lights on the top of the city swayed, and the sound of beetle leaves shaking as I ran was as dense as raindrops, but no one responded.
Li Liang looked around and whispered to Yuan Zhi and Yuan Xi, who were waiting on both sides of the car: "It's almost time, retreat..."
Retreat?
Yuan Xi frowned, "If we retreat, will the commander retreat? The commander is majestic, but if he retreats, where will the power of the army be?"
Really stupid?
If your commander really wanted to be here, let alone take a ride, he would probably be twenty or thirty feet away from this job. Do you believe it or not?
This is a living target. Once the rebels in the city launch their attack, if the first wave of attacks hadn't been aimed at this handsome man, Li Liang would have dared to follow Yuan Xi's surname.
Yuan Xi is the crown prince of Zhongshan Wang Yuanying. He has been the kind of person who has been afraid of melting in the palm of his hand since he was a child. He started out as a secretary, and in the past few years, he has been working as a close official of the emperor.
Including the left and right guards, when Yu Lin led the army, he was only responsible for the palace confinement and dormitories. Therefore, it was really an unprecedented first time to go to the battlefield.
But Yuan Zhi is different.
Although he is a member of the clan, he is a concubine, so he has no title to inherit. However, during the Southern Expedition with Emperor Xiaowen, a man from Jinyang County was granted a title based on his military exploits. This shows that he is good at fighting?
This handsome chariot was originally displayed by him according to Li Chengzhi's instructions in the letter to attract the defenders in the city...
"Li Canjun (Zhongzhi soldiers join the army, in charge of personal guards) will retreat if you are asked to do so. Why are you making such noise?"
Yuan Zhi gave a cold scolding and said nothing more.
Li Liang raised his eyes and almost laughed out loud: Yuan Zhi had already quietly urged the horse, and was three or four feet away from the handsome driver?
Stopping his horse, Yuan Zhi looked at Li Liang, vaguely curious: "Have you ever led an army or fought in a battle?"
"I am a servant of the Li family, and I have fought with Mr. Lang!"
Li Liang nodded reservedly, "They are just a bunch of unarmed rebels, and they cannot win without force!"
"To be praised by Xi Zhenzhu, the Baijia Army has its own merits. What's more, it has given Murong the power to fight in a mighty formation, how can it win without force?"
Yuan Zhi asked casually: "Were you there during the battle of Wuwei?"
Li Liang pondered for a moment: "Here!"
Yuan Zhi asked again: "What is your position?"
This time, Li Liang hesitated for a long time: "Deputy Commander!"
Before the expedition, Li Chengzhi confessed: Today is different from the past, like Li Liang, Li Rui, Li Cong, etc., they no longer need to hide their heads and tail, and can show their true colors to others.
It is also because the military has respected the strong since ancient times. Even if you are an aide who has been handed down from the top, if you have some achievements, the military leaders will give you three points of courtesy, instead of snorting with white noses and looking at others with blank eyes.
Just like Yuan Zhi said to Yuan Xi: It doesn’t matter if you are the prince or the prince, when I should look down on you, I will still look down on you.
Yuan Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up, but Yuan Xi's face turned red with embarrassment.
After talking for a long time, he is the only white guy?
What Li Chengzhi's White Armor Army put down in Jingzhou was indeed a group of rioters, and it would not be an exaggeration to call them unarmed.
But in the battle with Murong Ding in the Wuwei formation, only two thousand fine cavalry were defeated.
And they defeated it with the remnants of a brigade...
Based on this alone, who dares to say that the Jingzhou White Armor Army has gained its reputation in vain?
Didn't you realize that the figure who has been following Li Chengzhi and serving as a servant, looking like a domestic slave, is actually the deputy commander of the White Armor Army who has made great achievements in battle?
Yuan Zhi sighed deeply: "What a pity!"
Li Liang said nothing and just nodded.
He knew what Yuan Zhi meant by this sigh: Except for a few people, they all thought that the four thousand white-armored troops had perished in the sea of fire...
However, Lang Jun did mention that if necessary, he might take this opportunity to bring the White Armored Army out to practice hard. He also said: You can't raise a strong army from your comfort zone...
Yuan Xi moved his lips, but he was too self-conscious to say an apology. He followed Li Liang and silently took a few steps back.
When the horse battle was decided, Yuan Zhi asked again: "When will we attack the city?"
Li Liang raised his head and glanced at the sky: "Waiting for the fireworks?"
Fireworks?
He knows about smoke, and naturally he also knows about flowers, but when they are combined together, why can’t he understand them?
Yuan Xi asked suspiciously: "Can you really blow open the city gate with that chicken thunder?"
"How is that possible?"
Li Liang laughed and said, "At most, it's just a bluff to bluff people, and take advantage of their shock and uncertainty to get down to the city gate... If you can blow open the city gate, why would you let the two of you march overnight and let two thousand tiger soldiers suffer this disease?"
The pain of cold..."
Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard a "bang", which was like thunder from the sky, and the ground shook.
A ball of fire burst out from the direction south of the central city, heading straight into the sky. It was like a huge flower blooming in the wind, but fleeting.
The noise was so loud that even the war horse was a little restless. Yuan Zhi finally knew why Li Liang advised him not to let the army get too close to the city?
This thunder really lives up to its name...
"Smoke...Flowers..."
Staring blankly at the fire that covered the sky and the sun, and the black smoke that obscured the moon, Yuan Xi spat out two words as if he was dreaming.
"It's not...this..."
Li Liang reminded urgently and found that his voice was hoarse?
Among the Li family members, he was the only one who had the recipe for explosives. Li Liang knew exactly how powerful the explosives he made in Hexi were.

There is absolutely no such power...
Either Lang Jun added other things, or... tied a dozen packages together.
But no matter which one it is, he is sure: this is definitely what Lang Jun ordered... and it can really blow open the city gate!
Li Liang's hands and feet were cold, and he had no time to explain. He just shouted urgently: "Don't move, don't move...wait for the fireworks, wait for the fireworks..."
As soon as he finished speaking, another burst of fire shot up into the sky. The sound was equally loud, but it had moved to the east wall of the central city.
Then, just like chess pieces scattered on the chessboard, there was a continuous explosion on both sides of the southeast.
Li Liang remained motionless, raising his head tightly and staring at the sky.
Lang Jun made it very clear: Even if the city wall is blown down, don't care, just watch the fireworks.
Wherever the fireworks rise, they enter the city...
Finally, a meteor rose from the west wall, rising higher and higher. When it reached the top, the meteor suddenly exploded and scattered into thousands of stars.
One flower, two flowers, three flowers... Sparks rise all over the sky in the west, like a goddess scattering flowers...
Li Liang shouted loudly: "It's the West City Gate..."
It turned out to be a plan to lure chaos and divide the troops?
Yuan Zhi was trembling with excitement.
He couldn't figure out how Li Chengzhi created such a large formation with only five personal guards around him?
He even had some doubts that if he hadn't come, would Li Chengzhi have taken down Woye Town with just five soldiers?
Yuan Zhi used all his strength and roared loudly: "Account promotion!"
The soldiers behind him suddenly beat the drum three times in succession.
With the sound of drums, each brigade and each team lit up their lights one after another, just like monsters opening their eyes.
A cloud car nearly three feet tall, like a tower, seemed to emerge from the ground out of thin air. More than twenty lanterns were lit, reflecting the bright yellow handsome flag.
Marshal Li!
Is this a handsome driver?
Just when I had a thought, I suddenly heard a few booms behind me.
Yuan Xi suddenly turned around and saw that the handsome chariot he had just seen had fallen to the ground. Several crossbows as thick as forearms were like nails, piercing the chariot and the four draft horses...

Yuan Xi's face turned pale and he felt the urge to urinate.
