Chapter 929 Liao Song

boom!

A stone flew into the city, smashing the roof, and screams suddenly came from the house.

But no one dared to come out.

Just before, several families could not bear the pressure and rushed out of their homes, and were immediately beheaded.

Groups of defenders waited for orders at a certain distance from the city.

There are obviously a lot less stones, and so are the crossbow arrows.

Someone at the top of the city shouted: "Reinforcements!"

"quick!"

The general led his men and ran forward.

One by one they ran as fast as rabbits.

"Here comes the stone!"

Someone at the top of the city passed a signal, and the trebuchet on standby was launched immediately.

Then came the crossbow arrows.

This wave rushed over and lost more than 10%.

The key is that it has a huge impact on morale.

After climbing to the top of the city, I saw only soldiers from both sides strangled among the corpses. Everyone had red eyes, hacking with knives, stabbing with spears, biting with teeth, pinching with hands...

"This is hell!"

Someone sighed and was killed by an arrow.

"The enemy has broken through!"

A group of Northern Xinjiang troops broke through the city and had already seen the bottom of the city.

"kill!"

Xiao Hongde came with the reserve team.

Zhao Dora assisted on the other side and finally drove back the Northern Xinjiang army after paying a huge price.

The Northern Xinjiang Army is too strong!

Xiao Hongde gasped, feeling that the energy in his body was empty. At this moment, an ordinary person could knock him down.

"The sun is setting!"

The soldiers of both armies, who were killed without knowing the time, glanced at the sunset.

"Clang clang clang!"

The golden sound came.

"Fire the arrow!"

Before leaving, the Northern Xinjiang Army used a wave of arrows to attack the enemy.

Likewise, the defenders sent off a hail of arrows.

"Squat down!"

Zhao Dora shouted.

Everyone squatted down subconsciously.

The archers were too late.

Outside the city, Jiang Cunzhong waved his hand, "Fire the arrow!"

A rain of arrows covered the city.

This is the benefit of having the advantage of long-range strikes, as you can advance and retreat freely.

Xiao Hongde watched as the sergeant beside him was hit by an arrow, sat down, and then fell to the ground, his eyes turning white like dead fish eyes, and he gasped.

"Be careful, the enemy has retreated!"

At the top of the city, no one cheered.

"careful."

someone shouted.

There is no way, the crossbow formation is here!

A sergeant carefully lay on the side of the battlement and watched.

The huge crossbow array was slowly retreating, with cavalry on both sides protecting it and the evacuating infantry behind.

Well organized!

"The enemy has withdrawn!"

Xiao Hongde stood up and felt relieved when he saw the Northern Xinjiang Army evacuating.

"Survived this calamity!" Peng Zhi came up at this moment.

"yes!"

Xiao Hongde said with emotion: "I must admit that I underestimated Zhou Jian. However, after tonight, everything will be different."

This night was enough for him to boost his morale, adjust, and ponder.

"look!"

Peng Zhi pointed into the distance.

Xiao Hongde squinted his eyes.

The golden sunset slowly set in the sky, surrounded by colorful clouds. The rays of light enveloped the earth, covering the evacuating Northern Xinjiang troops, and the armor looked like gold.

A piece of gold gleamed.

Extraordinarily dazzling.

The setting sun also shone on the top of the city.

The defenders were also dyed golden yellow, but they did not feel the majestic and majestic atmosphere, instead they looked a little decadent.

The city looked like a wounded giant beast in the sunset. No one wanted to move, just wanted to be in a daze.

Pei Jian slowly retreated with his army.

When we returned to the camp, Yang Guogong had already arrived and was having a barbecue.

"The Duke."

Jiang Cunzhong is here.

"Have you eaten?"

Yang Xuan knew it and asked.

"Never."

"Give."

Yang Xuan handed him a skewer of barbecued meat.

Jiang Cunzhong took it and took a bite, but he couldn't taste it.

"It tastes good." Yang Xuan tasted it, "It's delicious, charred on the outside and tender on the inside. And the sauce is well prepared."

Jiang Heer couldn't wait to eat a bunch of them.

"Mr. Lang!"

Hearing Wang Laoer's voice, Yang Xuan's expression changed drastically and he quickly grabbed two skewers of barbecue.

The figure flashed, and Wang Laoer arrived.

"Don't grab it!"

Jiang He'er took a step slowly and watched Wang Laoer take away more than ten skewers of barbecue.

"Second dick!"

Yang Xuan had a straight face.

Wang Laoer returned halfway, "I'm hungry."

Eat when you are hungry, this is Wang Laoer's instinct.

Yang Xuan took the barbecue and said, "Let's go."

Jiang Cunzhong followed him, and the two of them walked slowly in the camp.

"How do you feel today?" Yang Xuan asked.

"I admire Mr. Zhou's determination in commanding and predicting the enemy's opportunities."

"truth?"

"truth!"

"Have you ever thought about why I didn't let you lead the army to attack Chengyang?"

"I thought about it, I thought before..."

"What about now?"

"The public knows how to make good use of people."

"Flattery doesn't mean much."

"Next time I'll learn from Zhang Du."

"Zhang Du's flattery can choke people to death."

"To be honest, before today, I always felt that there was something between Zhou Jian, Huang Xianggong, and the Duke..."

"relation?"

"yes."

Yang Xuan pulled off a piece of meat and asked Han Hu, "Where is it now?"

"This man uses his troops calmly and sharply. He was a little rusty at first, but then he gradually became more calm. Xiao Hongde is no match for him."

Yang Xuan glanced at him, "Do you have any doubts that you want to ask me?"

"Yes." Jiang Cunzhong hesitated, "Although I know I shouldn't ask, I still want to ask, where is Zhou Jian?"

Yang Xuan said, "One of my own."

Of course I know that he is one of our own, otherwise how could you give him the command of the army... Jiang Cunzhong: "..."

Yang Xuan pointed in the direction of Chang'an, "They are our own people standing together."

Jiang Cunzhong said: "In this way, there will be one more general."

He hesitated again and again, "What will the Duke do to Chang'an... in the future?"

After conquering Neizhou, the situation in Northern Xinjiang has never been better or calmer than before.

From this, what will happen next for Northern Xinjiang?

Northward!

Taking Neizhou as the starting point, it expanded to the north.

But such expansion will definitely lead to a strong counterattack by Beiliao.

When Huang Chunhui was there, Northern Liao also launched a war, but at that time Northern Xinjiang had the entire Tang Dynasty as its backing.

Soldiers, food, supplies, weapons, money...

Even if those things are inferior, they are always enough.

Today's Northern Xinjiang is like a country within a country, and everything has to be done by oneself.

Can this corner of northern Xinjiang withstand the all-out attack of the behemoth Bei Liao?

And Chang'an.

As Northern Xinjiang continues to expand northward, Yang Xuan's prestige will increase day by day.

In such a situation, how will Changan react?

Will he give Bei Xinjiang a knife from behind during the war between Bei Xinjiang and Bei Liao?

Others might not, Li Mi... to be honest, Jiang Cunzhong felt it was dangerous!

Yang Xuan glanced at him and threw away the sign in his hand.

"Capture Neizhou and Chang'an will be shaken."

"You will become more and more wary of the Duke and Northern Xinjiang."

"Then tell me, what will happen to Chang'an if I go on the defensive?"

"The fear remains, and I will despise you."

"When a man stands in this world, he must not be timid."

"But I am worried that if this continues, when Northern Xinjiang moves northward again, the whole of Chang'an will be watching."

"People are more afraid of being famous than they are of being strong?"

"yes."

"Our career is extremely brilliant!"

Yang Xuan used this sentence to fend off Jiang Cunzhong.

Once Neizhou is removed, the situation in Northern Xinjiang will be improved.

The vast land that was once ravaged by enemy forces suddenly turned into the inland area of ​​Northern Xinjiang.

People with a greater sense of security will be more enthusiastic about production.

Self-sufficient in food, self-sufficient in weapons...

A Northern Xinjiang that can strengthen itself without relying on the outside world is the real foundation.

And the basis of all this is to capture Neizhou!

Now, Chengyang, the last stronghold in Neizhou, is under the shadow of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

Yang Xuan turned around and looked at Chengyang City in the distance.

He has walked step by step from Taiping to today, which can be said to be a rough road.

"This journey is difficult!"

Yang Xuan sighed with emotion.

Jiang He'er lagged behind, waving his hands back and forth.

Jiang Cunzhong said: "When the Duke of Guo led a group of criminals to start a business, the journey was indeed difficult.

Taiping was breached several times in the beginning. Chenzhou was powerless against the three major armies, let alone Tanzhou behind them.

Now that the three major divisions have been wiped out, He Lianrong, the governor of Tanzhou, is serving the Duke of Jin Yiwei.

Neizhou is about to become my northern territory...

To be honest, a few years ago, who would have dared to say that Northern Xinjiang could have such a good situation and that I could beat him!"

Yang Xuan Wan'er, "Lao Jiang."

"exist!"

"If I said this is just the beginning, would you believe it?"

Just the beginning?

Jiang Cunzhong was stunned, thinking, does the Duke still want to destroy Bei Liao?

This is impossible!

The Central Plains and Northern Liao have been at war with each other for many years, and have been mortal enemies since the time of the Chen Kingdom.

Both sides said they wanted to destroy the other side, but as a result, Chen State itself collapsed, and the people of Bei Liao were still alive and well.

"letter!"

Jiang Cunzhong felt that the Duke's intention should be to make greater efforts to the north and weaken the Northern Liao.

Yang Xuan didn't explain, but then Ouda came.

"Mr. Zhou said that he would summon all the generals to discuss matters and prepare for a decisive battle. Please go and take charge of the battle."

This time Yang Xuan went.

He sat at the head of the big tent and saw everyone filing in. When everyone arrived, he said: "This time I will bring my ears."

Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but glance at the sword on Pei Jian's waist.

The knife was still in the Duke's waist a few days ago.

The Duke of the State has said that there is no guilt in killing those who commit crimes with this sword.

Pei Jian was the first to bow his hands to Yang Xuan.

Why do I feel like I have become a statue in the temple?

Yang Guogong was a little confused.

Pei Jian said: "In today's battle, the enemy suffered heavy casualties and has become discouraged. Tomorrow is the time for the decisive battle."

A general raised his hand, Pei Jian nodded, and the general said: "Mr. Zhou is a bit confused by what he said."

"explain!"

"Although the enemy army was frightened in today's battle, Xiao Hongde has one night to revive his morale. I think this will not be difficult."

yes!

After a night, the defenders had a completely new spirit. Are they a little more anxious for the decisive battle tomorrow?

Han Ji glanced at Yang Xuan.

The Lord is in a daze.

Like a puppet.

Pei Jian said: "This matter is not difficult."

Well!

Everyone was stunned.

"Have dinner early, and then the generals should comfort the soldiers and tell them that tomorrow will be the time to make meritorious deeds. If they make meritorious deeds, the Duke will not hesitate to reward them."

"Take your orders!"

Pei Jian turned his eyes and said, "Suoyun!"

"exist!"

Suoyun limped out.

"Today the death camp is shouting for a fierce battle, no one will flinch, and they will be rewarded with wine and meat!"

Suo Yun said loudly: "Thank you so much, Duke."

Pei Jian nodded, "Tomorrow we will fight, there is no need to reserve your strength, just attack with all your strength!"

He cupped his hands towards Yang Xuan and said, "Please let me know."

I told you to come with your ears only... Yang Xuan shook his head.

This kind of trust, to be honest, is really rare.

Pei Jian was moved, "That's it, let's have a decisive battle tomorrow!"

"Take your orders!"

The generals agreed with a roar.

But how to demoralize the enemy?

Pei Jian stood up and said, "Suoyun."

"exist!"

"Choose hundreds of loyal sergeants from your department and go to the city after dinner to shout."

Is this harassment?

"What to shout?"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

"The Duke leads the army to defeat Taizhou!"

Everyone was startled.

"Wonderful!"

Jiang Cunzhong's eyes were bright, "The Duke did not show up for this battle, so the defenders will definitely make speculations. At this time, it is said that the Duke has defeated Taizhou. Even if there are wise men in the city who think it is impossible to do so quickly, it will be of no use."

The defenders are in trouble tonight.

What a great Zhou Jian!

He kept his expression calm and included the boss in his plan.

Yang Xuan was still enjoying his daze peacefully.

"Well, let's go our separate ways!"

The generals will retire.

Pei Jian turned around and asked for instructions, "Please make it public."

Yang Xuan rubbed his eyes, stood up and yawned.

"Your plan is very good."

He walked towards the outside of the big tent.

"but……"

Pei Jian's heart tightened.

Is there anything wrong with it?

Yang Xuan walked outside the curtain of the big tent, turned around and said: "When people are in despair, they miss their homes most. Why not let the soldiers of the death camp sing some Northern Liao songs?"

Pei Jian was shocked and saluted.

"I would like to be taught!"

In Chengyang City, Xiao Hongde had just finished his meal and drank a glass of wine.

He has a good drinking capacity, and a glass of wine is just to moisten his throat.

"Gather the generals."

He got up and went out immediately.

The generals are waiting outside.

"Go to the camp."

In the camp, the soldiers who had finished dinner early were assembled.

Xiao Hongde is here.

The torch illuminated his every detail.

But his subordinates looked dimly, like dolls.

"Reinforcements will arrive in two days."

To be honest, Xiao Hongde didn't know the specific time when the reinforcements would arrive. He just calculated based on the footsteps of the Tanzhou Army and came to the conclusion that they would definitely arrive in the next few days.

"Today's battle, to be honest, the Northern Xinjiang Army was brave, but aren't our Northern Liao warriors brave enough? Even if they were attacked by the Northern Xinjiang Army, we still drove them away..."

Morale is gradually recovering.

After a good night's sleep, I'll be a good man again tomorrow.

Feeling that morale was gradually rising, Xiao Hongde stopped his words of encouragement and said to Peng Zhi: "Tell them to prepare wine and give it to the soldiers for dinner tomorrow."

At this point in the war, it depends on morale.

After some words of encouragement and a good meal of wine, the soldiers are guaranteed to roar.

After two days of persistence, it was time for Lin Jun to arrive.

In this way, the overall situation is settled!

Xiao Hongde was just about to leave.

Then I heard shouting.

"Taizhou is broken!"

Um?

He suddenly looked in the direction of the shout.

"It's the Northern Xinjiang Army!"

Everyone was stunned.

Taizhou, isn’t it great?

Who broke it?

Besides, the Northern Xinjiang Army is just outside Chengyang City, who is going to defeat Taizhou City?

There were shouts outside.

"Yang Guogong led the army to defeat Taizhou and captured the governor alive..."

"Taizhou is lost and Chengyang has become an isolated city. If we surrender as soon as possible, we can still build roads!"

"Those who resist will be sent to the mines to mine..."

"You can also join a death camp if you build roads, and become a civilian if you perform meritorious service. If you mine for a few years, you will be disabled if you don't die."

Dora Zhao's heart skipped a beat, "Not good!"

Someone in the array was discussing, and then a buzzing sound could be heard.

"Taizhou is gone. Even if the Tanzhou army comes to help, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop Yang Gou."

"Yang Gou is full of tricks. He sent a little-known Zhou Jian and he defeated us with heavy casualties. He can lead the army to break through Taizhou. He has at least 20,000 to 30,000 troops under his command. How can there be 50,000 reinforcements from Tanzhou?"

Morale is like an inflated urine bag. It explodes after being poked like this.

Then it collapsed.

"This is a lie!"

Peng Zhigang wanted to refute.

I heard singing coming from outside.

"This is……"

Everyone listened attentively.

"It's the song of my hometown!"

A sergeant had tears in his eyes.

The singing kept coming.

The school grounds are filled with melancholy...

Xiao Hongde's body shook a little, "Go back! Go back!"

The generals began to scold and drove the sergeants back to camp.

The sergeants staggered, walking and listening.

Some people even sang along.

Singing and choking at the same time.

The choking sound is not loud, but it is terrible when they gather together.

"Sure!"

Peng Zhi's face turned pale, "This is a way to undermine the morale of our military."

But they have no other way to respond except to feebly say this is a lie.

"go back!"

Xiao Hongde had a cold face, knowing that staying here at this moment would only arouse more suspicion.

He rode his horse forward, and Zhao Dora felt cold in her heart. She gradually distanced herself and fell behind.

A house on the side.

Lei Bo and Wang Han, two secret spies of Jinyiwei, are preparing...

"Coming!"

Lei Bo whispered.

Wang Han's face flushed.

Pick up the bow and arrow, step on the pillar, and slowly emerge.

The lost arrow shimmered in the night.

He took a look.

Xiao Hongde has many guards on his side, and he has good cultivation.

Peng Zhi was talking next to Xiao Hongde.

Not sure.

Behind is Dora Zhao.

Zhao Dora looked devastated, and so did the guards around her.

Good opportunity!

Wang Han drew his bow and drew an arrow.

In his mind, Helianyan's instructions echoed in his mind.

——For the sake of the Duke!

He said silently: "For the sake of the Duke!"

Release your hands.

The arrow missed and flew away.

Zhao Dora was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse.
