Chapter 1074 Seventy-Three Was Bombed
Chapter 1074 Seventy-three·Bombed
The night was dark, and the fact that there was no movement after the fire broke out at the Governor's Mansion in the city did not cause much panic. After all, the movement subsided very quickly.
The people in the city were nervous about the movement on the other side of the city gate. If the rebels really attacked, they didn't know how they would be treated.
The streets are now empty, and the teahouses are also empty. Some people climbed to the roofs of their houses and watched the patrolling troops passing by from time to time. They exchanged worried glances with each other: "Is it going to be unbearable outside?"
Some more knowledgeable old people will scold you: "Shut your stinky mouth. If we can't hold on outside, will things be so peaceful? It'll be okay. Don't worry, it's fine!"
At the city gate, Liao Jingxu personally went up to the tower to boost morale, which he did for several days.
At the same time, General Wang Shen of Xundian Prefecture and Commander Yang of Anhua Prefecture were quarreling at the garrison outside the city.
Wang Shen was so angry that his face turned red and his neck thickened: "You stand and talk without pain in your back, and you keep saying wait, wait, wait, how many days have we been waiting?! My son is about to be born, and there is no chaos in the city. You see
No? Liao Jingxu is standing there well on the tower! He is standing there well, your people are really capable, how come there is no movement at all until now!?"
Previously, Wang Shen was about to fight when he arrived, but he was stopped by Commander Yang. Commander Yang said that they had deployed killers in the city and would attack the Governor's Mansion at night. They would first kill Liao Jingxu and the Lord of Changning County, and then in the city
If there is trouble, the people in the city will be in chaos, and it will be easy to attack the city again.
Wang Shenjiang thought that since everyone had made such thoughtful arrangements, he waited patiently for a while.
Who would have known that after waiting, instead of waiting for chaos to break out in the city, the group of soldiers guarding the city became even more united.
He then asked to send troops, but Commander Yang insisted on waiting.
So General Wang Shen couldn't bear it and had a quarrel with Commander Yang.
Commander Yang frowned: "Don't be impatient. Maybe they are looking for an opportunity."
Wang Shen almost spat a mouthful of saliva directly into Commander Yang's face: "Timing?! You are also a leader. You should know the principle of making a big effort, then weakening, and then exhausting yourself. We have been here for a long time, and we haven't taken action yet.
"You guys thought we were doing something, but on the contrary, your people have not made any movement for so long, don't you think the time has passed?"
Commander Yang stared at him dissatisfied: "My people will not make mistakes, they have been arranged long ago." He thought for a while, and in order to block General Wang's mouth, he also revealed a secret: "
Tang Yuan died in the hands of these people."
Speaking of Tang Yuan, General Wang Shen finally became calmer, but he still couldn't help but sneer: "Even so, there are mistakes and mistakes. They delayed for too long. We originally planned to launch a surprise attack.
We didn’t bring much food and grass. If we continue to use it up like this, we won’t be able to keep it up here. We’ll attack the city tonight!”
Commander Yang wanted to object.
General Wang Shen just stared at him coldly: "If it doesn't work, our Xundian Mansion will withdraw."
Originally, they just wanted to share some benefits. It was impossible that they could not share the benefits, and instead they were still wasting food and grass here.
Commander Yang was still a little unwilling, but he also knew that his arms could not twist his thighs. If General Wang Shen really retreated, he would only have 15,000 men left, and he really would not have much advantage in attacking Kunming City, so he reluctantly
He nodded: "Okay, then we'll attack the city tonight."
They immediately summoned the generals to discuss matters and prepare for the attack.
When everything was ready, Commander Yang came out of General Wang's tent and looked at Kunming City in the distance with his clairvoyant eyes. His eyes were as gloomy as water. After a while, he turned back to his tent.
The water had been boiled in the tent, and the soldier nervously went up to him and called the general, asking him if he wanted to rest for a while. After all, he was about to attack the city at night, so he had to seize the time to rest for a while.
Commander Yang waved his hand. He was so worried now that he couldn't sleep. Instead, he was holding back his anger. After thinking about it, he waved to the soldier: "Go and ask someone to bring some news."
Before he finished speaking, there was suddenly a loud noise. The noise was so loud that even the ground beneath his feet was shaking, as if the earth dragon had turned over.
Commander Yang's face suddenly turned green, and he rushed out of the tent with a livid face. He thought it was General Wang Shen who went against his promise and attacked the city in advance.
Unexpectedly, he had only walked a few steps when he saw Wang Shenjiang walking towards him with the same livid face. The two met in the middle of the road. They were both angry at first, but when they looked at each other, their anger turned into
Surprised: "Not you?"
The two asked in unison, then stopped at the same time, and their expressions suddenly became worse.
The noise just now.
Wang Shenjiang suddenly became irritable and urged people to find out what the noise was. Who knew that before the people had taken a few steps, there was another loud noise. This time, the loud noise became more violent and raised.
The dust turned both General Wang Shen and Commander Yang into disgrace.
Commander Yang wiped his face and spit out the sand in his mouth. At this time, he didn't know that there was a problem with the gunpowder. He hurriedly took people over to check the situation.
But it was already too late when they arrived. The tent they used to store gunpowder and some weapons had long been razed to the ground and turned into ruins. At this moment, only the bursts of smoke rising upwards proved what kind of place this once was.
The anger on Commander Yang's face could no longer be concealed, his eyes were red and he cursed "Mother", and spit out a name fiercely from his mouth: "Liao Jingxu!"
General Wang Shen also arrived quickly, and he could hardly stand still when he saw what happened. Before they could calm down, someone immediately ran over again: "General Yang, General Wang, something happened, our food and grass were burned halfway!"
"
Burnt?!
At this moment, General Wang's face could be described as black as the bottom of a pot. He looked at Commander Yang angrily: "Didn't you say that this line is absolutely safe?! What's going on now?!"
Commander Yang is responsible for transporting grain and grass. He said that they have an absolutely safe route, and even the scouts from Kunming will not notice it.
But now something is wrong with the food and grass.
The most taboo thing in a war is to shake the morale of the military. But now, the gunpowder depot has been bombed and the food and grass have been burned. How can the morale of the military not be disturbed?
The best opportunity is gone.
Both of them are fighting men, how could they not understand this?
After looking at each other, Commander Yang had no choice but to suppress the anger and horror in his heart: "For now, the only solution is to fight quickly."
