Chapter 829 828 [Serial] (As the leader, I just came to see more)

Daliang, Yaozhou.

Yaoshan camp is located in Shangyuan Mansion near Dingzhou, and is responsible for guarding the border of more than 100 miles.

Shangyuan Prefecture is rich in products and the people are rich. Although they are not as luxurious as Jian'an City in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the people here will never treat themselves badly. The common people can still see meat and fish every other day, not to mention that as a master of Yaoshan

The battalion coach is Xiong Wuhou Lan Yu.

Even if it is just a simple lunch, there are still sixteen dishes, eight cold, eight hot, on the round table.

There were only two people at the table, and the burly Lan Yu ate so much that his mouth and hands were all covered in oil. He didn't seem to care, eating large chunks of meat and drinking wine as if no one else was watching.

Sitting opposite him was a middle-aged man. His eating appearance was obviously much more elegant. After a while, he put down his chopsticks, picked up the handkerchief beside him and wiped his mouth. Then he looked calmly at the wild-looking Xiong Wuhou opposite him.

.

After a long time, Lan Yu finally stopped and glanced at the messy cups and plates in front of him. He picked up the tea cup and gargled his mouth. After spitting out the tea, he looked at the middle-aged man with lingering interest and asked in a rough voice: "Could it be that these dishes don't fit?"

Master Shen’s appetite?”

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Eat less and more often to live longer."

Lan Yu twitched the corner of his mouth and said quite unexpectedly: "I didn't expect that Mr. Shen of Taishitaige, who has been a lonely minister for sixteen years, would cherish his life."

The middle-aged man is Silent Cloud. After leaving Beijing, his whereabouts were extremely secretive. He only arrived at Yaoshan Camp this morning.

Silent Cloud looked at the majority of the dishes left on the table, and said meaningfully: "Lan Hou is joking, I think there are very few people in this world who are willing to risk their lives, but whenever such a person appears, it will always stir up the situation, such as yours

A nephew who has disappeared."

Lan Yu's face remained as usual and he said calmly: "I didn't expect Master Shen to pay attention to that incompetent boy."

Silent Cloud said calmly: "I never paid attention to him before, but I heard that Marquis Lan sent him to the Southern Zhou Dynasty, so I had to pay attention."

Lan Yu held the cup and looked at the clear wine in it. The majestic aura of a veteran on the battlefield gradually emerged, especially with his extremely burly body, like a giant beast that chooses people to devour. In comparison, Silent Cloud's face

Qinghui's thin body makes it obviously difficult to compete with him. If he were in front of ordinary officials, Zuo Lingchen's status in Taishitai Pavilion would be enough to suppress him, but sitting opposite him at this moment was a powerful man in charge of 60,000 arrogant soldiers.

After a moment of confrontation, the silent clouds remained calm and gentle. Lan Yu frowned and said in a deep voice: "Master Shen, if you have something to say, speak frankly."

Silent Cloud said slowly: "Master Lanhou, do you know who Pei Yue is?"

Lan Yu sneered: "What does his identity have to do with me?"

Silent Cloud shook his head slightly and said: "Too much is not enough."

Lan Yu's face turned gloomy and he said: "Master Shen, I have always respected you as a person, and I am also aware of Tai Geerlang's help in military affairs. If you have evidence of my illegality, you can arrest me immediately without saying anything. If you don't, there is no need.

You're pretending to be mysterious in front of me."

Silent Cloud looked at him quietly and said unhurriedly: "Lijiazhuang on the outskirts of Yongzhou City."

Lan Yu's color suddenly changed, and the cup was almost broken by him.

Silent Cloud continued: "On the surface, Lijiazhuang is in peace with the world, but in fact it is closely guarded and there are many poor people living there. As far as I know, every household there has someone working for you. For example, there is a man named Jiang

The swordsman of thousands of miles."

Lan Yu looked at him uncertainly, and after a long time he said in a difficult tone: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Silent Cloud said calmly: "His Majesty knows what you have done, but he decided to give you another chance."

Lan Yu sighed, and then said dejectedly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty really said that?"

Silent Cloud nodded and said: "Jun Wu is joking, does Lan Hou think that I am falsely passing on the imperial edict?"

Lan Yu quickly shook his head and said, "I have no intention of doing so. I just don't know what your Majesty wants me to do?"

Silent Cloud stared into his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Be prepared to go south to conquer Zhou."

Lan Yu was shocked and at the same time felt unbelievable.

Is the defeat of Zhou a trivial matter that can be decided in just a few words? What's more, although the Yaoshan camp has been preparing for war, it is extremely cumbersome to mobilize the army. Without instructions from the Xifu in advance, he could not cross the river in a few days anyway. Siege the city.

Seeing the hesitation on his face, he said silently: "Don't be nervous, His Majesty did not ask you to attack the city and take out the stronghold. Please wait a little longer."

Lan Yu asked eagerly: "What are you waiting for?"

Silent Cloud lifted the wine cup in front of him and said calmly: "Waiting for some news."

…

Below Jiangling Castle.

The second day of the siege.

Of course, it is impossible for all the 100,000 troops to be used to attack the city. In fact, only 30,000 people were responsible for the first group of troops to climb the city, and the remaining 70,000 were divided into three echelons. For the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the number of troops used this time was not large. Even if it was too much, Fang Xiexiao also deployed 30,000 people from another large camp to monitor the defenders of the two auxiliary cities in the east and west to prevent them from taking the initiative to send troops to attack the main formation.

The siege started in the early morning. After catapults continuously bombarded the city walls and archers fired at each other, countless soldiers rushed to the three walls of Gangneung with shouts. They used ladders as climbing tools, braving the arrows, wood and rocks that kept flying from above. , attacking the defenders' defense line without fear of death.

Such a battle is naturally extremely bloody, but whether it is Fang Xiexiao who is observing the battle from below, or Baoding Bocai Qian who is blocking the defense above the city, they all know that there is no possibility of taking any tricks at the moment. For the soldiers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, they want to To tear down this fortified city that has stood for more than ten years, we can only use human lives to fill it.

The defenders had a commanding advantage and kept bombarding the Zhou army with rolling logs and stones. Even if they were not hit directly on the head, or even if they were only carried away by these heavy objects, the Zhou soldiers would fall down the ladder and be shattered to pieces.

The generals of each department come to the battlefield to command in person. Everyone wants to be the first to reach the good general, which means supreme glory and inexhaustible glory and wealth. No matter how kind they usually treat the soldiers under their command, at this moment, those who are clinging to the ladder are In their eyes, they are no different from ants. Thousands of ants form a human-like ladder, giving these warriors and nobles a way to reach the sky.

Under the flag of the Chinese army, Fang Xiexiao looked expressionlessly at the extremely brutal fighting in the distance, while the eight drums behind him kept beating out the heart-shaking sound of killing.

The smoke is billowing, there is death but no life.

Cai Qian is obviously not an easy person, and now he has a good general like Li Jin to help him. Even though the city wall seems to be in danger, the Zhou army is still unable to climb up and gain a foothold.

Fang Xiexiao had already expected this. If Jiangling City was so easy to capture, why would he take such a big risk?

I saw several cavalry rushing towards me from the east. Fang Huai, the leader of Langtu Camp, did not wait for his mount to stop, jumped down and ran quickly.

"My lord, there is something happening on the north bank!"

Fang Xiexiao nodded slightly and unconsciously clenched his hands behind his back into fists.
