Throughout the ages, those in power have always kept their word, which is a symbol of authority.
You say you want to kill someone in the morning, and you go hand in hand with him in the afternoon; you say you want to kill someone in the morning, and that person is still alive and kicking in the evening...
He even shouted, "We are still alive! The emperor is just a piece of shit!"
In this case, who will feel your majesty?
Practice what you preach!
This is the only way to establish authority.
Even if you suffer a loss, you still have to do something!
Therefore, history books record many stupid things done by those in power in order to keep their word.
As the lord of Northern Xinjiang, Yang Xuan said that Jin Xun deserved to die, so even if other cities in Neizhou were left alone, he would have to capture Jianshui City and kill Jin Xun!
This is the superior one.
Jin Xun stood at the top of the city, his face pale.
The general beside him also looked livid and reminded: "The soldiers are watching!"
Jin Xun took a deep breath and shouted to Yang Xuan: "I'm waiting for you!"
Yang Xuan nodded, "Okay!"
He immediately rode back.
The Tang army formed a formation.
The huge array was silent.
Behind, large cars came slowly.
"It's a trebuchet!"
Jin Xun saw what was on the cart.
The craftsmen began to unload the truck and assemble it.
Ning Yayun did not come this time, and Yang Xuan had more guards around him.
There is even a team of crossbowmen standing behind them. If they find that the enemy's masters are making a surprise attack, they will rain down a wave of arrows before speaking.
Han Ji stroked his beard, looked at the solemn garrison at the top of the city, and said with a smile: "The garrison is a little nervous."
"Don't underestimate your opponent," the old thief reminded.
Underestimating the enemy has always been a taboo for military strategists.
There are countless examples in history of underestimating the enemy and capsizing the ship. Therefore, after Yang Xuan took charge of Northern Xinjiang, he often beat the generals for this.
Han Ji smiled and said, "Lang Jun's expedition to Neizhou this time will definitely make Chang'an angry."
"I am in charge of Northern Xinjiang. If I stick to it, there will be no major war within five years." Yang Xuan said: "Actually, if Northern Xinjiang does not move, the internal fighting in Beiliao will become even more fierce."
"But Lang Jun can't move." Han Ji said softly: "Weaken Bei Liao so that we can go south without any worries!"
Yang Xuan nodded, "I need to accumulate prestige, and opening up territories and defeating powerful enemies is undoubtedly the best way.
The Northern Liao Dynasty has been a strong enemy of the Tang Dynasty for many years, and it was able to crush the Central Plains back then.
When this powerful enemy is retreating steadily under my attack, how will the world look at me?"
Han Ji said: "The pillar of the country."
"He is also the monster of the country!" Yang Xuan laughed at himself, "When my prestige is higher than that of Chang'an, everyone in the world will guess when I will rebel. At that time, it is the best time to raise the flag."
"Run the world!" Han Ji said longingly: "Destroy Chang'an and capture the old thief..."
The old thief coughed dryly behind Yang Xuan.
"No matter how much you talk, you still have to move forward step by step."
Yang Xuan stopped Han Ji's reverie, "Capture Jianshui City and get the upper hand!"
The trebuchet was assembled, and someone came to ask for instructions.
"My lord, the trebuchet is in place."
Yang Xuan glanced at the city head and said, "Suoyun!"
The limping Suoyun came forward and knelt down, "Master!"
Yang Xuan pointed his horsewhip at the top of the city, "The trebuchet will open the way, and you order the death camp to stand by."
"Take your orders!"
Suo Yun stood up and returned to the death camp, "Gather forward!"
The death camp formed a formation and moved forward.
Han Ji said: "Those captives are now considered to have taken root in Northern Xinjiang. Lang Jun never thought of letting them become his own?"
"I have thought about it." Yang Xuan watched the prisoner camp passing by on the left. The prisoners were looking at him. Suo Yun shouted: "For the master..."
"Death for the master!"
Thousands of soldiers from the death camp shouted loudly, and the sound shook the whole country.
Yang Xuan smiled and waved, and said: "After all, we are from a foreign race."
The old thief felt chills running down his spine when he heard this, and said to Wang Laoer: "It's puzzling that Mr. Lang is so defensive against foreigners."
Wang Laoer said: "Lang Jun once said that it will take three generations to be completely naturalized."
"Why haven't I heard of this?" The old thief felt that he had been ignored.
Wang Laoer said with a frown on his face: "Last time I was escorted by my husband to study in the study, Song Gong came to see my husband to discuss the fate of the captives. Song Gong said it was almost ok.
What did Lang Jun say... Those who are not of my race must have different minds. This generation looks docile at the moment, but once the Central Plains declines, these people will be the first to come in. So it takes three generations..."
It turns out that I was not marginalized... The old thief was in a good mood, "What did you learn?"
"Mr. Lang asked me to read the military book."
"Have you learned?"
"without."
"It's no use!"
"I looked at it! I looked at it and I felt dizzy. I just remembered something... being jealous."
…
"The art of war is nothing more than a battle between the generals of the two armies!"
After receiving the news that Yang Xuan led the army to surround Jianshui City, Xiao Hongde went to the top of the city and looked in the direction of Jianshui City.
"I originally thought that he would drive directly to Chengyang City to kill the Arrancar. Who knew, but he went to Jianshui City instead. This is to defeat our Neizhou situation step by step. There is no room for avoidance in this battle. Let me tell you guys.
, fight to the death!”
"Take your orders!"
A general went to convey Xiao Hongde's order.
Zhao Duola said: "There are three thousand defenders in Jianshui City, and there is plenty of food, grass and weapons. If Yang Gou wants to break the city, it will take more than ten days at least."
"Tanzhou will definitely send troops!" Xiao Hongde was very confident.
"If we persist for ten days, the Tanzhou army will definitely be able to rush to the outskirts of Neizhou and wait for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack. This battle will be won!" Peng Zhi said: "If Yang Gou knew that Lin Shijun was coming to help, I am afraid he would also hesitate."
"He is a famous Liao general after all!" Xiao Hongde admitted that he was a little jealous.
He knew that this battle was his last chance to make a comeback, so he seized it and rose to great heights, becoming a popular figure next to the emperor from then on.
Defeated, he was like a rat in the ditch...Lin Ya never showed mercy to traitors, and he, the defeated general, was useless to the emperor.
There was a bright light in his eyes, "The scouts must keep attacking to find out the battle situation!"
"Take your orders!"
The city gate opened, and groups of scouts rushed out on horseback.
Ahead, the Northern Xinjiang Army's scouts were cruising. Their responsibility was to keep an eye on the area outside Jianshui City, cover the battlefield, and cut off the enemy's way of obtaining information.
If these scouts can come back 50%, it is considered a great achievement.
With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Xiao Hongde turned around and prepared to go back.
"Xiang Wen, won't we attack to contain him?"
The person asking the question was Dora Zhao.
Xiao Hongde turned around and said, "Are you going?"
Zhao Dora's expression changed slightly, "The official is feeling unwell."
"waste!"
Xiao Hongde said coldly.
Peng Zhi followed him closely, and when he saw Zhao Dora's face was calm, his evaluation of this person became higher.
After getting off the city wall, Peng Zhi asked, "Why is Xianwen so rude to him?"
Xiao Hongde said: "I originally judged that Yang Gou's intention was to cannibalize, do you understand?"
"That means capturing Jianshui City or Jinshan City."
"Yes, in this case, he should attack Jinshan City first, isolate Jianshui City, and cut off Chengyang City's communication with it. But he fought steadily..."
Xiao Hongde gritted his teeth and said: "In this battle, you will either die or I will live. If you lose, there will naturally be nothing to say. I would rather die than become Yang Gou's prisoner. If I win, what will Ning Xing think of me?"
"The talent of a famous general!" Peng Zhi said without hesitation.
"A famous general must have a temper! Do you understand?" Xiao Hongde raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "If I am deep, in Ning Xing's opinion, the city is deep. Therefore, you have to be more domineering and have a bigger temper."
"But over there with Dora Zhao..."
"That's a fool. He thought that by asking his confidants to hide away with my so-called handles, I would be afraid of him. But he forgot one thing..."
"Xianwen means..."
"The more handles the ministers have, the more confident the emperor will be when he uses them!"
…
"Trebuchet...let it go!"
Dozens of stones flew into the air and roared towards the top of the city.
Boom!
A stone hit the city wall hard, and the city wall trembled.
Just when the defenders breathed a sigh of relief, they heard someone screaming, "Take shelter!
!”
A stone flew over and hit the crowd. Immediately, blood and broken limbs flew everywhere.
Rocks kept coming, and Jin Xun shouted: "Get out!"
The defenders left some people behind and most of them evacuated.
boom!
A stone hit the battlement, sending debris flying.
Under the city, Jin Xun said to his generals: "Yang Gou's trebuchet is sharp and indestructible.
When the trebuchet is started, a small group of people will guard the police equipment at the top of the city, and most of them will rest and wait below the city. This is a method adopted from Ningxing.
In this way, the so-called trebuchet is nothing but scrap metal!"
"What is that?" A general raised his head and pointed in the air.
Jin Xun raised his head.
A stone flew over the city and roared towards him.
The stone passed over Jin Xun's head, and the strong wind made his neck feel cold.
boom!
There was a loud noise behind him, and then air waves carried blood and broken limbs flying everywhere.
With a bang, a severed hand fell in front of Jin Xun.
His fingers moved a few times.
…
Outside the city, next to the trebuchet, a clerk was shouting, "Turn it up!"
The projectile angle of the trebuchet has been adjusted higher.
"put!"
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
Dozens of stones flew out, most of them over the top of the city and falling into the city.
The defenders who were waiting in hiding under the city to avoid the trebuchets encountered a catastrophe.
"withdraw!"
With an ashen complexion, Jin Xun continued to retreat with his men.
boom!
The stone fell on the open ground, splashing debris, and the defenders who were hit by the debris couldn't help but scream.
They retreated thirty steps until they avoided the trebuchet.
But the rocks kept flying, hitting those houses.
"Run!"
The people threw aside the ban and rushed out of the house carrying some food on their backs.
"Details..."
Someone asked for instructions.
Jin Xun said with a cold face, "Behead!"
More than a hundred people were killed in a matter of seconds.
"If you die, you have to die at home!"
Military discipline is like a mountain!
"Tang Jun is coming!"
Someone at the top of the city shouted.
"Go to the top of the city!"
Jin Xun and his men began to run wildly.
By the time they reached the top of the city out of breath, the people from the death camp had already rushed to a place more than twenty steps away from the city wall.
The archers were panting as they unfurled their bows and drew arrows... The stairs had been set up on the top of the city.
The trebuchet struck, forcing the defenders to retreat. Then the trebuchet attacked across the city, forcing the defenders to retreat again...
Finally comes the real attack.
At this step, Jin Xun could only follow Yang Xuan's baton.
It totally feels like an adult hitting a child.
With ease.
The soldiers looked at Jin Xun in the wrong way.
It turns out that your so-called confidence is just bragging!
You are far worse than Yang Gou!
Morale just dropped.
A sergeant said, "So, can we still use troops like this?"
"Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent..." Yang Xuan said to the people around him: "The two armies are facing each other, and what they are fighting for is power. To attack the opponent's power..."
Jiang Heer was the first to take out the booklet and record it, but the old thief was a step too late.
"...The morale of the defenders has plummeted. What should our army do?"
Under Yang Xuan's conscious training, he hoped to develop a few more generals.
He also hopes to have a few versatile civil and military talents who can take charge of one side.
The old thief said: "Strike while the iron is hot and destroy the city in one go."
This is correct!
The old thief glanced at Jiang He'er, who nodded and agreed with him.
Yang Xuan shook his head, "I've said before, soldiers are unpredictable, and water is unpredictable. At this moment, the morale of the defenders has dropped. Jin Xun will definitely think that I am going to break the city today. Therefore, he will use all means to boost morale..."
At the top of the city, Jin Xun shouted: "As long as we hold on today, Chengyang will send reinforcements to attack Yang Dog's army at night. As long as we can hold on today, all the money in Jianshui City and my personal wealth will be distributed to you."
Wait! Sons and daughters, what are you waiting for?"
"Kill the enemy!"
The morale of the city was greatly boosted.
"Look!" Yang Xuan pointed to the top of the city and said with a smile: "But why should I fulfill his wish? Come on, please ring me!"
Clang clang clang!
The soldiers of the death camp who had just started climbing were stunned.
The fighting hasn’t even started yet!
Why did you retreat?
But the military orders are like mountains!
The death camp surged back like a tide.
City head.
All the soldiers slowly looked at Jin Xun.
The money in the treasury, your private wealth...
Will you give it back?
If you don't give it, morale will definitely plummet.
Okay, tomorrow Yang Gou will attack again, what will be used to boost morale?
An old soldier sighed.
The sergeant next to me asked: "Why are you sighing?"
The old soldier said: "Jianshui City can no longer be defended."
"Why?"
The sergeant felt that morale was quite high.
"The war started today. Before the two armies fought, Xiang Wen was led by Yang Dog, following every step."
"So what?"
"This is an adult beating a child! Yang Gou is playing with Sheng Wen!"
"Give!" Jin Xun knew the disadvantages of this move, but still gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Where's tomorrow?" the general under his command asked worriedly.
Are you going to do some physical charity tomorrow?
"Yang Gou retreated."
The city is cheering.
But Jin Xun and a few soldiers looked solemn.
…
On the second day, the army gathered at the city again.
"There are many good players around Yang Gou."
Jin Xun had people prepare a lot of meat today, which was considered a reward.
"Missing Ning Yayun!" someone said.
"It's okay, it's okay! Keep an eye on them. Wherever they go, the crossbow will be pointed at that side!" Jin Xun felt relieved.
Ning Yayun's intimidating power was so powerful that if the old man attacked the city, all the crossbows on the city's head would have to use their strength against him.
"Trebuchet...let it go!"
Below the city, the trebuchets were launched.
Everyone looked at Jin Xun again.
what to do?
Jin Xun gritted his teeth and said, "Withdraw!"
This is being commanded by Yang Gou again!
A dark cloud hung over the heads of the defenders at the top of the city.
The trebuchets crossed the city again, forcing the defenders to continue to retreat.
"Attack!"
Suoyun led the death camp and set off.
Jin Xun still ran up to the top of the city with his men.
They were panting, and then encountered the brutal attack of the death camp.
"Kill!"
Jin Xun remained conscious, even though he was at a disadvantage, he still did not use the bed crossbow.
"Yang Gou's guards are here."
The Horned Dragon Guard is dispatched.
"Bed crossbow!" Jin Xun said with a ferocious smile: "Killing one of them is a great achievement!"
The bed crossbow is not easy to turn and requires manual handling.
The painstaking steering of the bed crossbow was completed.
More than ten men suddenly rushed up from the other side.
Green shirt, elegant temperament.
The leading man held a mace in one hand and knocked down several defenders with one blow.
He sighed: "Master, my disciples went on a killing spree today!"
Ning Yayun didn't come because she had something to do, but Zhong Hui and others came.
Caught off guard, the city was breached in an instant.
Zhong Hui remembered the instructions given by his former disciple Yang Xuan, who is now the leader of Northern Territory: the guard must be captured.
His figure flashed and appeared elegantly in front of Jin Xun.
"Jin Xun?"
Jin Xun shouted filial piety and chopped it off with his sword.
Zhong Hui gently used his mace to block, and the long knife twisted and flew away.
Then, he grabbed Jin Xun with one hand and flew down.
"Zitai!"
There are not many people in Tao County who can call Yang Xuanzitai.
Metaphysics is a big deal!
Zhong Hui threw Jin Xun to the ground, "It should be him."
Jin Xun tried hard to get up, but Zhong would place the mace on his crest and exert a slight force, and Jin Xun would lie down again.
"Yang Gou, kill me!"
Jin Xun shouted.
Yang Xuan shook his head, "It's too easy to defeat you, so I can't find half the fun!"
This is murderous and heart-breaking!
Jin Xun choked, "What do you want?"
Yang Xuan spoke.
"Leave it to Jin Yiwei to handle!"
Behind him, Helian Yan and the accompanying Jin Yiwei knelt down.
"Thank you, Lord!"
Han Ji stroked his beard and said softly: "He easily won the hearts of Jin Yiwei. My lord's method is so wonderful!"
