Zeng Yi said: "I didn't expect that you are also a young master."
Wang Kaien's eyes flashed and he said: "I didn't expect that Young Master would actually arrange for you and me!"
Zeng Yi glanced at him and said meaningfully: "It seems that the young master still doesn't trust you and me enough!" He looked back at the soldiers around him who were about to move, and raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and the soldiers immediately fell silent. He
He said softly: "In order to successfully kill today, I specially replaced all the guards on the city wall with my people today. But I didn't expect that you would get there first!"
Wang Kaien said with a smile: "Although I am the one who succeeded, the credit belongs to both of us! Brother Zeng, don't worry too much!"
Zeng Yi also smiled and said: "The merit or not is less important. I am so scared now!"
Wang Kaien was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Zeng Yi said: "It's lucky that you attacked General Liu first, otherwise, hehe..." He laughed dryly and said half of the sentence.
Thousands of words.
Hard to describe in one word.
Wang Kaien completely understood the meaning of his words.
There is the luck of escaping from death, there is the helplessness of being unable to control yourself, and there is the sadness and resentment of not being trusted!
Wang Kaien also laughed dryly and said: "Both of us are young masters, so don't talk about foreign affairs!" He was also a little afraid! If Zeng Yi made the first move and stabbed himself first, wouldn't he also become the victim of the sword?
Mr. Lian is really good at what he does! He and Wang Kai'en have been working under Liu Jiarui for many years and they don't even know each other's details!
It’s scary to think about it!
People in the world cannot help themselves. His life no longer belongs to him. Whether he is treated as a guest or becomes an outcast, he can only accept it silently.
Zeng Yi suddenly climbed up and shouted loudly: "Brothers! Nowadays, treacherous officials are in power and the government is corrupt. Among them, a group of eunuchs headed by Wei Shijie deserve death! They deceive the superiors and conceal the inferiors, harm the country and the people, form cliques for personal gain, despise the queen, and engage in military affairs.
Our ancestors cut off vassals, abused titles, covered up border affairs, and harmed the people's wealth. They did all kinds of evil! Yesterday, General Lian sent orders to all battalions, deciding to kill the eunuchs and seize the emperor! Now the eunuch Wei Shijie actually came to ask for General Lian.
Trouble! Brothers, General Lian has shown great kindness to us, can we bear this tone?"
Suddenly the crowd was furious!
"I can't bear it!" a voice shouted out!
Zeng Yi's voice rose again: "Can you bear it?"
"I can't bear it!" Countless voices said in unison!
Zeng Yi continued to curse impassionedly: "The dead eunuch surnamed Wei loves to deduct military pay and drink the blood of soldiers. This person will not be punished unless I get rid of him!"
Another soldier followed and shouted: "If this person is not eliminated, I will not be able to calm him down!"
"Kill him, you damn eunuch!" Someone suddenly shouted.
"Fuck that damn eunuch!" Then another person echoed loudly.
For a time, the crowd was furious and the waves were turbulent!
"Kill the eunuch and protect the company general!"
"Kill the eunuch and protect the company general!"
Everyone was shouting, and suddenly someone shouted: "Damn the Dog Emperor is not a good thing! Let's rebel together!" The scene suddenly fell into dead silence!
To clear the emperor's side is to eliminate harm for the country!
To scold the emperor is treason!
The rebellion will destroy the nine tribes!
Someone in the crowd shouted again: "That's right! The Bird Emperor actually re-employed people like Eunuch Wei. How can we be okay in the future? We are bleeding and fighting in the front, but they are depriving the soldiers of their pay and drinking their blood in the back. The eunuch deserves to die, Bird."
The emperor is not a good person either! If you want to clear the side of Mr. Bird, you might as well turn around and attack the capital!"
There was a moment of dead silence, and then there was the sudden explosion that had been suppressed for a long time and was once released!
"Inverted!"
"Inverted!"
"Kill all the eunuchs!"
"Kill all the eunuchs!"
"Drive away the Bird Emperor!"
"Drive away the Bird Emperor!"
…
If someone takes the lead, others will follow, and eventually they will follow the trend and form a general trend.
This is human nature.
An imperceptible smile appeared on Zeng Yi's face! The "insiders" he arranged performed well!
Everything is going according to plan!
Although the people on the city walls are all his, that doesn't mean they are all his confidants!
He killed Liu Jiarui, but some people were still shocked and at a loss! But a few "indignant" pawns disrupted the situation and turned the tables in just a few words!
Everyone knows that Liu Jiarui was promoted by Eunuch Wei. He was usually very domineering and arrogant. He was eloquent and eloquent when talking about the art of war. Once he went to the battlefield, he hurriedly gave instructions. How many brothers lost their lives in vain? Eunuch Wei deserves to die, Liu Da is the bum.
More damned!
Liu Jiarui has eyebrows like a broomstick, and when he personally leads the troops on an expedition, he almost never wins, and occasionally a small victory is a tragic victory! Therefore, the army privately calls him a broomstick! Whoever goes to war with him will be unlucky! Every time he goes out with him,
Everyone has a narrow escape from death!
It’s okay if his prestige is not high. Zeng Yi and Wang Kai’en kept fanning the flames behind his back, and Liu Jiarui was basically ignored. But everyone’s superficial skills were very good, and Liu Jiarui was forced to immerse himself in the power every day and be content with his ambitions.
In the dream, I don’t even know how I died!
At this time, the army was gradually divided into two major factions, the Zeng faction and the Wang faction. The only exception was the Liu faction.
Although Liu Jiarui's death was unexpected, the fierce manipulation by Zeng Yi's confidants did not cause a single ripple!
The sergeant at Chengtou only knew one thing. Most of the food and salary issued by the imperial court had been embezzled by Liu Jiarui, a dead bastard, and then secretly paid tribute to the old bastard named Wei!
If Liancheng were here, he would definitely praise Zeng Yi and Wang Kaien for their excellent performance and successful sensationalism!
Wang Kaien glanced at Zeng Yi and said softly: "The next order..."
Zeng Yi pretended to be displeased: "Brother Wang is seeing someone outside again? We are like grasshoppers on a rope now. We have to be honest in everything. Why don't we go over the Young Master's instructions together?"
Zeng Yi also smiled and said: "Okay!"
The two of them enjoyed playing tricks on each other.
What Wang Kaien is most concerned about is who will have the "command power" for the next action!
Who has the final say between the two?
A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a man cannot lose power for a day! How can Zeng Yi be exempt from vulgarity? Naturally, he also cares about the young master's "meaning."
Liancheng's instructions have always been shrouded in fog, and he will never explain them clearly at once. He always gives a bunch of tips or secret notes like Zhuge Wuhou did in the past!
The two of them each took out the secret message.
Zeng Yi has the word "shou" written on it.
Wang Kaien actually also "defended to the death"!
The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Defend to the end, defend until death.
And there are no more detailed instructions.
Zeng Yi said: "Brother Wang, now that the matter has come to an end, the two of us should stop hiding behind each other. Only by working together to fight against the enemy can we have a chance of survival!"
Wang Kaien looked at the smoke-filled sky in the distance, his eyes flashed, and he said fiercely: "Since your life and mine have been given to the young master a long time ago, death is death if you die early, and death is death if you die late. If we fight today, it may not be death!"
Zeng Yi said: "Okay! Then hurry up and deploy your troops?"
Wang Kaien said: "Okay!"
The two men immediately summoned their brigade commanders and corps commanders to formulate defensive strategies.
There are 30,000 infantry, 3,000 crossbowmen, and 3,000 cavalry in Jingyang City, a total of 36,000.
Compared with Wei Qiansui's 20,000 Luoyang Tigers and the 20,000 heavy cavalry who had just "rebelled", their combat power was a bit weaker.
But fortunately it occupies a good location!
It is said that a Luoyang tiger is worth ten, which means fighting against ordinary soldiers! I, a Northwest wolf, am also worth ten! Who is afraid of whom? Just do it!
There are only two east and west gates in Jingyang City. Wei Qiansui must pass through the east gate when traveling from east to west, so he only needs to guard the east gate!
Both Zeng Yi and Wang Kaien saw in each other's eyes their determination to fight to the death and their determination to fight to the death!
Who will win, only God knows!
Seeing the head of Jingyang City in the distance, Wei Qiansui, who was sitting on a two-horse chariot, was frowning more and more.
He raised the monocular telescope in his hand and saw a row of sergeants majestically guarding the top of the city with a vigilant look on their faces. The gates below the city were closed and the suspension bridge hung high. He had an ominous premonition in his heart.
He turned to Zhao Kuangyin and said in a sharp voice: "Kuangyin, get ready to attack the city."
Zhao Kuangyin's eyes flashed, without any doubt, he just said "Okay" and turned around immediately!
He said to a brigade commander behind him: "Give me the order, assemble the ballistae, battering ram, and trebuchet immediately, and be ready to attack the city at any time!"
The brigade commander bowed and clasped his fists and said, "Yes!" He turned around and gave the order.
Wei Qiansui was very satisfied with Zhao Kuangyin's orders and couldn't help but nodded. He glanced at a guard in brocade clothes beside him. The guard quickly jumped onto the chariot and came over. Wei Qiansui whispered a few words to him, and the guard nodded repeatedly.
Then he jumped off the chariot and quickly disappeared among the army.
Li Prince Consort followed the chariot on his horse and immediately rode forward. He was a little puzzled: "Qiansui, why did you change the position to attack the city?" He knew that Liu Jiarui was Wei Qiansui's disciple, so Wei Qiansui decided to come to Jingyang temporarily.
To avoid the sharp edge of the Lian family, Liu Jiarui's reply to Wei Qiansui clearly stated that he was "waiting for your arrival". At this time, he suddenly changed his position to attacking the city. I wonder what Wei Qiansui meant?
Wei Qiansui said meaningfully: "I should have thought that with Jiarui's usually flamboyant personality, he would definitely offend a lot of people. If he was usually better, how could he be spared his life now that they have broken up with each other?"
Consort Li was shocked and asked: "General Liu was killed?"
Wei Qiansui played with the telescope in his hand and said quietly: "Nine times out of ten. If he is still alive, he should be facing me outside the city gate by this time!"
Consort Li said thoughtfully: "What Chitose said is true, but my heavy cavalry is only suitable for charging into battles, and I'm afraid..."
Wei Qiansui waved his hand: "Hey, we don't need you to attack the city. Kuangyin is attacking the city from the front, and you are responsible for the safety of the rear!" He paused, "The rear may be more dangerous!"
Li Prince Consort instinctively looked at the open plateau terrain behind him. It was flat and calm, but it was strangely like the calm before the storm. He suddenly felt heroic and said loudly: "Okay!"
The heavily armored cavalry is just the place to show off your skills!
The wind is gradually rising and the clouds are gathering.
Jingyang City stands alone on this vast loess plateau. The purple Five Dragon Flag on top of the city was now replaced by a black Panlong Flag. Wei Qiansui murmured: "Is this country really going to change hands?"
The army is approaching the city, only a hundred feet away from the city!
Wei Qiansui suddenly stood up and said: "Bring me the bow!"
Zhao Kuangyin glanced at him, and a soldier hurriedly handed over a bow and several arrows.
Wei Qiansui stood up, bent his bow and nocked an arrow on the chariot, and aimed an arrow at the top of the city! His internal strength had reached the peak of the Eighth Realm. This arrow was full of true energy, with wind and thunder, and it hit the flagpole!
Ordinary sergeants can't shoot at a range of one hundred feet, let alone hit!
Wei Qiansui's arrow actually broke the flagpole with one arrow!
Although the arrow is thin, its internal strength is so amazing that it breaks the flagpole abruptly!
There was a burst of shouting and yelling from the top of the city, and arrows immediately flew into the air, shooting back in retaliation. Unfortunately, the arrows fell midway, and even the shadow of the Luoyang Tiger could not touch the edge.
Suddenly, an arrow flew from the top of the city, as fast as lightning, with the force of wind and thunder, and it hit Wei Qiansui's face!
Wei Qiansui shouted: "Good archery skills!" He stretched out his index and middle fingers and gently caught the arrow! He looked towards the top of the city, and a stout figure slowly emerged. Because the distance was too far, his face could not be seen clearly.
Very clear, frowned and said: "Zeng Yi?"
Prince Consort Li said: "Yes, judging by his figure, it should be him. I didn't expect Chitose to even know about it, even a little lieutenant!"
Wei Qiansui said: "Zeng Yi has Hu blood and is born with supernatural powers. He is not just a small lieutenant. Didn't you see that his arrow almost hit me? There is also a worthy person in Jingyang City named Wang Kai'en.
Bar?"
"Exactly!"
"Wang Kai'en suffered a lot of blood debts in the past. After joining Liancheng, he was assigned to the military camp and started from the bottom. Unexpectedly, he was promoted from a pawn to the position of deputy general in just a few years. He is brave and resourceful, and he is a powerful character!"
"I didn't expect that Chitose could be so precious to the officers of the northwest camp. I am really convinced!" These were Li's sincere words.
Wei Qiansui smiled faintly, "It's just that my memory is good."
Zhao Kuangyin's infantry formation suddenly surged to both sides like waves, revealing an empty road in the middle. Only the ballistae appeared one after another. "In the formation, Ruyi chariots were outside, covered with flags, and the ballistae served as the gate of the formation.
"The crossbow on the bed has arrows as big as a crossbow chisel. One arrow can shoot several people, and three arrows can hit hundreds of steps." Originally, the crossbow could shoot several people with one arrow and was very powerful. Zhao Kuangyin further improved it and used the bow string.
The more resilient beef tendons are mixed with gold wire, and holes are reserved on the arrows to hold gunpowder. This not only increases the impact force several times, but also increases the explosive power. Not only is it extremely lethal against infantry, it can even
Used to attack the city gate!
After the ten ballistas, there were ten groups of trebuchets and ten battering rams.
The trebuchet, battering ram and ballistae were all modified by Zhao Kuangyin specially by skilled craftsmen. In principle, every part must be disassembled and assembled at any time. The power after modification can only be enhanced, not weakened!
Usually these parts are carried by hundreds of soldiers, but once a war begins, they can be quickly assembled!
The reason why the Luoyang Tiger is able to dominate the world is not only due to its tyrannical force, but also because the Luoyang Tiger has a variety of offensive weapons in its hands!
Zhao Kuangyin gave an order, and the trebuchet launched several huge rocks to hit the city head!
Although there were not many stones used in the trebuchet, only a few hundred were stored on the army carriages. However, there were many skilled craftsmen in the Luoyang army who dug three feet into the ground and added them with yellow mud, gravel and saltpeter.
The water is quickly mixed into mud bombs. The hardness of these mud bombs is not weaker than stone bombs. Once hit, they are more likely to spread out and attack soldiers, with a larger killing radius.
Dozens of mud bombs exploded into pieces at the top of the city, and debris flew across the city, sending the defenders running for cover.
Zeng Yi raised his knife to block the gravel and roared: "Brothers, hold on! They don't have many mud bombs left!"
Wei Qiansui said: "Don't destroy the city gate first, we will need a gate once we enter the city!"
"Understood!" Zhao Kuangyin raised a small flag and made a few gestures, and the herald behind him immediately blew the attack horn!
Two teams of infantry, like two long dragons, rushed straight towards the city from the army. Each team had nearly a hundred people. The infantry held a rope-like thing in their hands, which Zhao Kuangyin called a cloud rope.
Five infantrymen stood behind each of the ten groups of crossbows. Two infantrymen stood on one side to hold the wheels of the crossbow to prevent the crossbow from shaking. Two infantrymen pulled the trigger and pulled the string to fire the giant arrow, and one infantryman was responsible for delivering the arrow!
The powerful crossbows were launched in succession to suppress the attacks of the defenders at the top of the city. The soldiers on the top of the city originally wanted to drop thunder stones or release a shower of arrows to stop the Luoyang Tiger's attack, but they did not expect the opponent's crossbows.
The trebuchet was so powerful that everyone couldn't lift their heads!
The anchor head of Yunsuo has been set up on the top of the city. When unfolded, it becomes a ladder made of soft ropes. The siege squad climbed wildly and attacked the city like ants! Soon, several Luoyang tigers climbed on the top of the wall!
