The leaders were kneeling on the ground, but they were whispering.
"Yang Xuan is arrogant!"
"yes!"
"If we successfully capture Tanzhou this time, what will happen to us in the future?"
"Said he would break us up!"
"Where to go?"
"Scattered to all parts of northern Xinjiang."
"Fuck! Doesn't that mean the good days are over?"
"That's right! Without the tribe, how can we go out to graze the animals ourselves?"
"What a fart, Mu, don't you know what happened now? This is meant to dismantle the southern part of our town!"
"What's the meaning?"
"Even if they are dispersed, for example, your subordinates, three cadres, took you to Taoxian County, but the subordinates dispersed to the Neizhou area. In this way, even though you have great ability, you can only rest peacefully...farm the land!"
It's a bit ridiculous to talk about farming. After all, these leaders have been fishing for many years and have already become rich.
But once they are broken up, the good old days will be gone.
Who wants to sit back and live in vain?
"Mad! What did the Khan say?"
"Khan said, follow the master's arrangements!"
"Master? Bah!"
Ahead, Yang Xuan waved his hand, "Get up!"
"Thank you, Master!"
The shouts of tens of thousands of people were shocking.
Yang Xuan had long been accustomed to this and said: "You have rested in the south of the town for a long time. Are you ready to serve me this time?"
Xin Wuji bowed slightly, "I'm just waiting for the master's order!"
"Um!"
Yang Xuan stretched out his hand, and Xin Wuji bent his waist a little more, allowing him to become condescending and pat his shoulder easily.
"You're fine!"
Yang Xuan patted his shoulder, mounted his horse, and said, "Let's go!"
Xin Wuji followed behind and shouted: "Cave a way for the master!"
Tens of thousands of cavalry from the southern part of the town cleared the way ahead until outside Tanzhou City.
"What a huge formation!"
At the top of the city, Xie Chang said.
The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and the smoke and dust rolled up looked like a sandstorm.
"Alas!"
The cavalrymen in the southern part of the town stood up with their feet in stirrups, shook their swords, and shouted wildly.
"The morale of our sons is high." Xin Wuji smiled and said, "We are just waiting for the master's order!"
Yang Xuan looked at the top of the city and saw Cao Ying coming.
"I have met... the Duke!"
He almost said Lang Jun.
Yang Xuan looked at him, "I'm a little thinner, but I'm getting better and better."
Cao Ying's eyes were a little red, "The Duke is becoming more and more powerful. I don't know what happened to the two young men. I really want to meet them."
"Turn back!" Yang Xuan said.
Cao Ying began to introduce the situation, "Xie Chang is a very naughty official. He is Lin Jun's confidant and controls Tanzhou for him. This person is cunning in his military use and loves to test..."
"Don't dare to make up your mind?" Yang Xuan asked.
"Yes!" Huang Ying continued: "Xiaoguan tested him many times and even threw out bait, but he only tried it briefly...Xiaguan also suffered a loss for this."
Only when you suffer a loss can you make progress!
But when Cao Ying looked at her, she still had the same unruly attitude as before.
Yang Xuan originally wanted to take him to Taoxian County, but looking at Cao Ying like this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
It is true that a country is easy to change, but one’s nature is hard to change!
However, he had other plans.
"There are less than 20,000 men and horses in the city. Tanzhou has been run by He Lianchun for many years and has quite a lot of money, food and population. Therefore, Lin Jun used the Tanzhou Army as his team to expand the army crazily. At least 50% of the Tanzhou Army's new soldiers are now."
"Using the old to lead the new is a technique that has been developed over the years." Yang Xuan said, "Besides Xie Chang, are there any generals?"
Cao Ying shook her head, "No."
Yang Xuan looked at the city head and said, "Tanzhou City is a fortified city. It is impossible to conquer it all at once."
Cao Ying said: "My lord, the Northern Xinjiang Army suffered a lot in the Battle of Cangzhou, and the soldiers are exhausted. I think we can attack the southern part of the town."
If it is inconvenient for the Lord to say something, it is up to his subordinates to do it for him. Cao Ying reacted to this faster than Han Ji and the others.
Sure enough, the old man is still considerate!
Yang Xuan looked at the leaders behind Xin Wuji.
Xin Wuji handed over his hand and said, "I beg you, little man!"
Yang Xuan smiled and said: "The morale of the first siege troops is high, how is the morale in the southern part of the town?"
Xin Wuji said: "We are all willing to serve our master!"
"Very good!" Yang Xuan pointed to the top of the city, "I'm watching!"
Xin Wuji rode his horse to the south of the town and shouted: "Get ready to attack the city!"
Someone asked: "Khan, why are we waiting?"
"Yes! We are herding animals on the grasslands for Northern Xinjiang. How many cattle, sheep, and horses are given to us every year. Why do we have to work so hard now?"
"We should not be the ones with the most casualties during the siege!"
The leaders were talking all over the place.
Xin Wuji looked at these people calmly, but the scar on his face was changing color and getting redder and redder.
Snap!
Xin Wuji whipped him away, and a leader who was talking happily covered his face and howled miserably.
Xin Wuji said: "Gather your subordinates immediately and attack the city! You!" He pointed at the leader who was whipped by him, "Take your subordinates to climb first. If you retreat, I will kill you and kill you."
A family!”
The leader covered his face, "Yes!"
But after turning around, the leader's eyes became filled with viciousness.
Immediately, the siege began.
"It's the southern part of town!"
Xie Chang said: "They had lived a peaceful life for several years. Yang Xuan ordered them to attack the city. This is to ask for reward."
Shen Changhe said: "How strong is the southern part of the town?"
Xie Chang said: "If it's one-on-one, they are no match for our warriors."
Starting from the time when the emperor's uncle was in Tanzhou, the three major groups were dogs bred in captivity in Tanzhou.
But later on, the dog was beaten so severely by Yang Xuan that it could no longer take care of itself, and was eventually integrated into the southern part of the town to graze for Yang Xuan.
The stairs were built on the city wall, and then one by one the warriors from the southern part of the town held a shield in one hand and a ladder in the other, holding a horizontal knife in their mouths, and climbed up step by step.
"Fire the arrow!"
Arrows rained down from time to time on the top of the city, looting the opponents in waves.
"Trebuchet, move forward... put it down!"
On the Northern Xinjiang Army's side, the trebuchet array extended its range and dropped stones on the city walls to attack the opponent's reserves.
At first, the warriors in the southern part of the town were very fierce. They charged forward one after another and managed to break a few holes and gain a firm foothold. However, they were soon driven out by the defenders.
"The momentum is good!" Pei Jian said.
But half an hour later, the warriors in the southern part of the town seemed to have slacked off.
They climbed like ants, with an infuriating slowness. After reaching the top of the city, instead of decisively expanding the breach, they held on calmly. Then when they saw the enemy using their reserves, they took the initiative to withdraw.
"Not quite right!"
Han Ji said: "Zhennan deliberately relaxed."
Yang Xuan said: "Ask Xin Wuji!"
Xin Wuji was already dealing with it.
Two heads rolled down in front of him, but those warriors still moved slowly.
The defenders were happy when they saw it. If you are slow, then we should be slow too.
The two sides seemed to be staging a tacitly coordinated rivalry show.
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
Yang Xuan smiled.
The Lord humiliated his ministers to death, and all the civil and military officials around him lowered their heads.
"I can't wait!"
Xin Wuji is killing people!
He roared and chopped off more than ten heads.
As a result, the offensive in the southern part of the town became more intense.
The whole morning passed.
They were having lunch in the southern part of the town, but Xin Wuji didn't bother to eat and started patrolling to comfort him.
"They say they want us to die!"
"After Tanzhou is defeated, Chenzhou will have no opponents in front of us, and we will be useless. Northern Xinjiang cannot raise useless people, and we will need fields and houses to house us. Why not let us attack the city and exhaust ourselves under Tanzhou City!"
"What a poisonous thought!"
Xin Wuji listened to these complaints calmly, went back later, and said with his teeth: "Khan, be careful of a mutiny!"
In the afternoon, the offensive resumes!
The southern part of the town is like an old cow. If it is whipped, it will be faster or later, but the sound of the waves will still be the same.
But it’s hard to say they don’t work hard... Thousands
The cost of death and injury leaves people speechless.
"Master, those leaders are secretly instigating, the villain is incompetent!"
After returning to the camp, Xin Wuji came to apologize.
"You might be in control?"
Yang Xuan sat at the top, and two rows of civil and military officials stood below him.
His voice was calm, but Xin Wuji's back was wet with sweat and he said tremblingly: "Yes!"
Yang Xuan nodded, "Then, I'll wait and see!"
Xin Wuji resigned and returned to his tent.
The leaders looked at him silently.
The atmosphere is not right.
Xin Wuji sat down, remained silent for a long time, and said, "Someone has been spreading rumors recently."
Dangya glanced at the leaders and whispered: "Khan, the warriors below are heartbroken."
"It's because of the lies!" Xin Wuji sneered: "I know who is spreading the lies. Those who are spreading lies are those who are sent to death. A bunch of idiots. When He Lianchun was in Tanzhou, you waited
What does it look like? A dog! A dog that was looked down upon by others! Now the owner treats you as a human being, but he doesn’t want to be one!"
One of the leaders smiled bitterly, "Khan, we...have never attacked the city."
"Who has attacked the city?" Xin Wuji said solemnly: "Others can attack the city, why can't the warriors in the south of my town?"
The leaders were silent.
Xin Wuji said: "Tomorrow, if I see anyone slacking off, I will kill the whole family and make them slaves. As a reward, I will give it to the bravest warrior!"
This is the rule of the grassland. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.
Xin Wuji waved his hand and the leaders resigned.
After leaving the tent, they found a place where no one was around to gather together. They couldn't hear what was being said, only the buzzing sound came from them, like flies.
"They are discussing!"
In the big tent, Dangya said: "Khan, be careful."
"They want to rebel?"
Xin Wuji sneered.
"Don't force it too much." Dang Ya said: "Actually, over the years, the grassland warriors have been like businessmen. They are given money and food from above, and they protect the grassland.
But it is said that the southern part of the town is going to be dispersed. Khan, what can the warriors do once they are dispersed? Grazing? Taoxian County is determined not to allow them to stay on the grassland. Then there is only farming or work. Khan, warriors
We are used to playing with knives and guns, we can't get those!"
"Isn't it because I'm used to killing people?" Xin Wuji said: "As I said before, if anyone dares to go west if the master says east, I will personally cut off his head and hang it outside the tent. Including you!"
Dangya bowed, "Yes!"
"Go!" Xin Wuji waved his hand.
When Dang Ya left, looking at his back as he left, Xin Wuji had something dark and unclear in his eyes.
Dang Ya was wandering around the camp. After dinner, the leaders continued their discussions, starting with dealing with their subordinates who had refused to contribute during the day.
The structure of the southern part of the town still maintains the original structure of the three major divisions. The Khan controls the most powerful army. The leaders each have their own troops. The Khan does not interfere but can deploy them.
Dozens of leaders were sitting in a small tent, huddled together, noisy and unnervingly hot.
"We will continue to attack the city tomorrow, what should we do?" someone asked.
"I said that we are scapegoats, but some people don't believe it."
"Otherwise, just excuse yourself!"
"Khans kill people!"
At this time, someone outside the tent whispered: "Dangya is here."
Everyone fell silent immediately.
When Ya walked in.
He looked at everyone and said, "I still said what I said to you before, I can't bear to leave this grassland!"
The atmosphere suddenly came alive.
"Tomorrow, we will work hard to attack the city and make a show of it!"
Dangya's eyes were bright and he said, "Prairie warriors should use their own way to deal with their enemies. Don't forget, we have 30,000 troops here this time, more than Chen Zhoujun! What are you afraid of waiting for?"
There was something strange in the eyes of the leaders, and one of them tried to say: "The master is fierce..."
"Tigers also have a nap." Dang Ya said: "I don't want to farm, let alone deal with those stinky businessmen. Then, the only way is to stay!"
everyone
nod.
"Dangya, you are very resourceful, we listen to you!"
Dangya looked at everyone, "So..."
…
On the second day, the people in the southern part of the town looked good.
Xin Wuji came over and said, "Master, don't worry, the warriors are all ready."
Yang Xuan looked at him noncommittally, "I understand."
"put!"
The trebuchet was the first to attack.
Crossbow arrows covered the city head.
"It's really fierce!"
Xie Chang couldn't help but squat down when he saw a stone smashing an official's head.
What about the infantry?
The trebuchets smashed for half an hour, but the infantry of the Northern Xinjiang Army did not attack.
People in the southern part of the town also looked at the Chinese army flag from time to time, wondering what Yang Xuan was thinking.
“Duke!“
Someone asked: "It's time to attack."
The garrison at the top of the city is about to take a nap!
"Wait a minute!"
Yang Xuan's words spread to the south of the town, and the leaders were laughing.
"What are you waiting for? Wait for us to change our minds!"
"Hahaha!"
Puff puff! The sound of footsteps came from behind.
Someone looked back and said in shock: "So many infantry!"
Rows of infantry came slowly. There were 20,000 people.
They walked to the right side of the southern part of the town. The two leading generals came to the center and knelt down.
"Suoyun, I have met the master!"
"Lan Jian, I have met the master!"
Twenty thousand foot soldiers knelt down and said, "I've seen the master!"
Although they were not as numerous as those in the southern part of the town, they were exceptionally neat and their noise was louder.
"It's a death camp!"
Dangya's expression changed slightly, "Khan, the master has mobilized a death camp, what do you want us to do?"
Xin Wuji said coldly: "I can't even guess what the master does."
Yang Xuan pointed to the city head and said, "Attack the city!"
"Take orders!"
Suoyun stood up, limped over, and shouted: "Attack the city!"
Without another word, the soldiers of the death camp carried wooden ladders and immediately launched an attack.
Their attack was more ferocious. After occupying the city head, they did not hesitate to expand the breach, leaving the defenders with no choice but to constantly draw in reserves to fill the gap.
One morning, the defenders suffered heavy casualties.
Of course, there were also many casualties in the death camps.
But morale remains high!
Being captured was a dead end, but Yang Xuan left them a way to survive, which was to perform meritorious service. If he had enough merit, he could even become an official.
In the afternoon, the death camp attacked again.
They even broke through a section of the city and rushed down. Xie Chang mobilized his troops behind and covered both sides with arrows, and then pushed them back.
The battle was brutal!
Looking at the piled corpses, Xie Chang looked solemn.
"I thought I could hold on for half a month, but look like this, it's only ten days!"
Shen Changhe said calmly: "Don't worry, your troops should be setting off."
"That's good!"
As the sun set in the west, the golden sound came, and the death camp retreated like a tide.
“Well done!”
Yang Xuan praised.
The people in the southern part of the town looked at the smiling Suo Yun and others with complicated eyes.
That night.
Someone approached the city and shot an arrow up.
The defenders got the arrows and found that they contained a letter.
Immediately, the letter was sent to Shen Changhe.
He took it and looked at it carefully, then raised his head, something strange flashed in his eyes, "The southern part of the town is planning to rebel!"
