Chapter 162 Attacking Changqing 2
"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor—thousands of years old, thousand years old—"
In an instant, 50,000 soldiers fell from front to back, like a turbulent sea, one wave after another. The shouting sound was like thunder in the sky. The ground shook and the mountains shook. Birds and animals fled in all directions.
Autumn leaves kept falling from the trees and sprinkled on the backs of every soldier
"All the soldiers are at peace!" Shao Yan waved his hands slightly, and the soldiers kowtowed neatly and stood up.
Cheng Yong was the commander-in-chief of this siege, and Zhao Zijian was the deputy commander. The two of them walked up to Shao Yan and kowtowed in unison: "The army is ready to go. Please give me the emperor's instructions."
Shao Yan rode his horse and approached the front of the team, puffed out his chest, and said loudly: "You are all passionate men of our Donglin Kingdom. I am deeply pleased that you are willing to serve the country. The right way is to raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a while.
Today is my first battle since my personal expedition, and it is also a day for us to feel proud. Liang Jun occupied my territory, killed my people, plundered my money, and raped my wife and daughter. Their evil deeds are numerous and outrageous to both humans and gods. We must drive them all out of Donglin.
"
"Drive out——, drive out——" The morale of the soldiers was high, and they raised their spears one after another.
Shao Yan saw this and was delighted in his heart, and continued: "A good man is determined to serve his country. I will fight side by side with everyone in a while, rush into Changqing, and retake the city. I hope that the soldiers can fight with me until the end."
For a moment, we bleed and sweat without shedding tears, and shed skin and flesh without falling behind. For the sake of the people of the world, we fight with them."
These words further aroused the fighting will of the soldiers. Everyone raised their weapons again and shouted: "Long live——, long live——, long live——"
Next, Shao Yan asked people to distribute the wine prepared in advance and fill a bowl to each person. He took the lead in picking up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. Then he slammed the bowl to the ground, and the soldiers raised it one after another.
Drinking bowls were served to the emperor together. Suddenly, the sound of bowls being smashed was heard throughout the school grounds, and there were fragments everywhere on the ground.
"Set off!"
Shao Yan pulled out his sword and pierced it into the sky with a loud roar. Under his leadership, 50,000 soldiers and horses marched towards Changqing City in a mighty manner.
…
Two hours later, a large group of troops arrived at the main gate (east gate) of Changqing City. Jin Dingguo had already received reliable information from the spies, so he had already sent archers to guard the city tower.
The city tower is very tall, surrounded by high walls, the city gates are closed, the suspension bridge has been pulled up in the air, and underneath is a wide and deep moat. The water in the river is very red, and there are still a few bloody items floating vaguely.
There were footprints everywhere on the clothes and the ground, as if they had just experienced a fight.
Looking up along the city wall, I saw that the top of the city tower was densely packed with Liang soldiers. Countless flags with the word "Liang" were fluttering in the wind. Shao Yan ordered the soldiers to call for battle, but the soldiers on the city tower
Not moving at all, maybe they didn't even pay attention to the large group of people below the tower.
Dong Tianyuan was furious for a moment, so he led a group of people to the city gate and shouted to the top: "People upstairs, listen, come out to meet the enemy if you have the guts, otherwise grandpa, I will attack by force."
Seeing that the people on the tower were not moved at all, Dong Tianyuan was so angry that he gritted his teeth and immediately ordered his soldiers to aim at the tower. However, because the tower was too high and the Liang soldiers were on guard, even if the arrows reached the top, they were blocked.
, Dong Tianyuan wanted to lead his troops to attack the city by force, but Shao Yan hurriedly stopped him.
"Hahaha..." A somewhat triumphant laughter came from the tower. Shao Yan instinctively tightened the reins, raised his neck and looked around. He saw Jin Dingguo wearing iron armor and leading a few followers inside the tower.
After walking out, he held his hands on the guardrail beside the tower and laughed loudly at Shao Yan: "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be Mr. Shao. I didn't expect that we could meet on such an occasion. It seems that we
It’s true that we are enemies on a narrow road.” He paused and said in confusion: “Hey, didn’t it say that the emperor of the Donglin Kingdom went on a personal expedition? Why didn’t I see him?”
Hearing his tone, Shao Yan seemed to not know his identity, so he kicked the horse's belly and took a few steps forward. He raised his head and asked, "Have you seen the emperor of Donglin Kingdom?"
"No, I just heard that this emperor is young and promising. He has done several great things since he took over the Donglin Kingdom. It's a pity..." Jin Dingguo shook his head and did not continue.
When Shao Yan heard the words 'young and promising', he felt happy, "What's the pity?"
"It's a pity that even if he has the talent to govern, it will be difficult for him to keep his empire this time."
On that day, I still don’t know who will win. Shao Yan took a cold breath and said with a straight face: "If you have anything to say, we will discuss it on the battlefield later. If you are still a man, then quickly leave the city to fight."
Jin Dingguo lay on the guardrail, looked carefully at the soldiers and horses below, laughed loudly and said: "Mr. Shao, are you kidding? You have 50,000 soldiers and horses to dare to come here to attack the city. Are you kidding me?"
Are you still daydreaming?" When he smiled, the followers behind him also laughed.
Shao Yan didn't bother to have a verbal argument with him and said: "I won't talk nonsense to you. If you have the guts, open the city gate. Don't sit there like a tortoise all day long."
When Jin Dingguo heard this, he felt very unhappy and said angrily: "What a Shao Yan, how dare you call me a coward?"
"What? Isn't it? That's what your good partner told me, come and bring me up." As soon as Shao Yan finished speaking, Chang Yixiao led two soldiers and escorted Tu An to the front of the team.
Jin Dingguo was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself that no wonder he hadn't seen this guy in the past two days. It turned out that he was caught by Shao Yan, so he became angry and pointed at Shao Yan and said: "Shao Yan, you are so despicable. How can you be a hero if you attack from behind?"
Damn, no matter how despicable I am, I can't compare to you. Shao Yan sneered: "Fat Jin, what we are discussing now is not personal style issues. I am here today to ask you to give up Changqing City."
Jin Dingguo snorted coldly: "What if I don't let you?"
"It's very simple. I'll kill him first and then lead my troops to attack the city. Even if I die, I still want to get back what belongs to me." Shao Yan said as he drew his sword and put it on Tu An's neck.
A burst of cold air hit him, causing Tu An's whole body to tremble. He bit his lips, his face turned green and white, and he stared at the top of the tower, and at the Donglin army next to him. When Shao Yan wasn't paying attention, he
He raised his head and shouted to Jin Dingguo: "Dingguo, don't open the city gate. The one named Shao is the emperor of Donglin Kingdom."
Chang Yixiao saw that he was dishonest and kicked him to the ground. Tu An's nose happened to hit the ground and blood immediately flowed out. Shao Yan ordered people to drag him back first.
At this time, there was an uproar on the city tower. All Liang Jun soldiers pointed at Shao Yan. Some were surprised, some cheered, and some were proud to see the emperor of another country in their lifetime.
Jin Dingguo was startled. Based on his understanding of Tu An, although this guy was a bit verbose on weekdays, he still wouldn't lie to himself. He couldn't help but secretly said that it was really hard to find a place after wearing iron shoes. It didn't take any effort at all. As long as
Once the best emperor died, the Donglin Kingdom was completely over. In order to further confirm Tu An's story, he knowingly asked: "Are you really the best emperor?"
Shao Yan didn't want to hide it any more, so he nodded and said, "Exactly."
As soon as he said "shoot the arrow", Jin Dingguo took the lead in unfurling his bow and shooting an arrow at him, and other soldiers followed suit.
He was so anxious that he shouted: "Your Majesty, be careful!"
Damn, luckily I was prepared. Shao Yan immediately took off the shield from the saddle and held it in front of him. Jin Dingguo said loudly: "Everyone, listen, whoever shoots the best emperor to death, I will reward him with ten thousand taels of gold."
When Liang Jun soldiers heard that there was so much reward, they rushed to pull arrows and shoot them downwards. As a result, there was a chaos on the tower. Shao Yan quickly withdrew into the group, and Donglin soldiers held shields in front of them.
, no matter how many arrows the opponent fires, they can't be defeated.
In order to compete for credit, individual soldiers on the city tower actually fought against each other to seize a position. This was indeed beyond Shao Yan's expectation. He thought that this was a good time to attack the city, so he ordered Chengyong to lead the troops 10,000 years ago.
To take the lead, Dong Tianyuan led his troops to attack the gate, while Zhao Zijian and Tan Shijie were responsible for attacking the north and south gates.
"kill……
"Rush..."
In an instant, the sound of killing broke out, and Donglin's soldiers rushed towards the city gate with a bold move. Jin Dingguo ordered the archers to release arrows, whoosh - whoosh - whoosh -, and the flag bearers who rushed at the front fell one by one, and the soldiers who came behind ran away.
They picked up the flag and continued straight ahead. The soldiers climbed up the ladder and went straight to the tower. Liang Jun soldiers picked up stones and smashed them on the head. They even lit fireballs and threw them down. Many Donglin soldiers were hit with broken heads.
Blood flowed, but as long as there was still breath, they would hold on tightly to the ladder and climb up step by step. Many people fell from the ladder to the ground just after climbing halfway. Many soldiers were burned alive.
The living soldiers climbed up over the corpses of their comrades.
Some of the soldiers finally climbed up the tower and fought with the Liang Jun soldiers. The Liang Jun soldiers were two against one. The soldiers were not afraid. Even if they were stabbed several times, they would hold Liang Jun and roll down the tower to die together. Some soldiers were chopped down.
He removed his arm, but still killed an opponent with one arm. Some held Liang Bing's body and bit off his ear, causing Liang Bing to lie on the ground and roll.
When Jin Dingguo saw that the Donglin soldiers under Shao Yan were all like wolves and tigers, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. How could this be an siege? This was simply risking his life. He then rushed over with a sword, and when the opponent was close, he took advantage of the situation.
One by one, he saw more and more people rushing towards him. He suddenly made a gesture, and more than a dozen black-clothed killers rushed out of the tower. Without saying a word, they rushed straight towards the Donglin soldiers crazily. Their sword skills were as fast as lightning.
The swords and knives struck at the opponent's fatal parts, and even tore the bodies of the soldiers alive. The method was extremely cruel, and the limbs of the soldiers were everywhere under the tower.
Jin Dingguo asked people to continuously pour boiling water down the tower, causing many Donglin soldiers to have their eyes burned off on the spot. Some soldiers were so painful that they immediately fell off the ladder. The soldiers continued to climb up after falling, and then climbed up the ladder again.
, even if they were blind, they still had to rush up to the tower by feeling. In order to prevent the tower from being occupied by others, Liang Jun soldiers guarded an entrance with five people. Once they found someone coming up, they swung their swords to chop him down. Among them was the famous Dong.
General Lin's hands just touched the guardrail. Several Liang Jun soldiers raised their swords and struck at his arms. The man's arms were chopped into four or five pieces.
Seeing the soldiers rushing forward without fear of life and death, especially the various tragic scenes, Shao Yan vividly remembered. In addition to heartache, he was moved deep in his heart. He continued to attack for more than half an hour, and several times
After repeated reincarnations, there were countless casualties among the soldiers, and Liang Jun also suffered heavy casualties. There were corpses all over the city, blood kept flowing down along the walls, and the weeds in the corners were all dyed red.
On the city tower, those killers in black were all killing people. Most of the soldiers who rushed to the city tower were killed by them. Shao Yan couldn't bear to let the soldiers die anymore, so he immediately ordered them to retreat.
Chapter completed!
