It was already three shots above the sun, and the sun was shining brightly. But the city was completely deserted, with no one around.
Occasionally, I saw a few soldiers fighting fires on the city, but they all wore leather robes and felt boots, and they looked like Chinese soldiers.
And the town army and townspeople just disappeared out of thin air?
Yang Jun endured his shock: "The city has only been broken for a moment, why is it so quiet? Could it be that they all were massacred?"
It is impossible to massacre. Even if tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians line up to be killed by two thousand Chinese troops, they may only be killed in a few seconds.
The reason why I stay behind closed doors... is of course because I was scared back by Li's Bubu.
Is that thunder?
Not to mention the townspeople who are located in the border areas, even if they are members of the Chinese army, have they ever seen such magical objects and wonders before?
Seven or eight of the ten families probably all knelt on the ground in the mansion, prayed to God and confessed their sins...
Otherwise, how could it be possible that with only more than a hundred members of the Li clan and personal guards, the town of Woye, with tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, could be in chaos, like a purgatory on earth? How could it be possible that once the city was broken, the Chinese army would be in a deserted land?
?
Yuan Zhi's pupils tightened when he thought of the sound of the "thunder" blasting open the city gate.
This is the thunder made by chickens that Li Chengzhi gave to His Majesty... no, the first emperor said?
Are you fooling the ghost?
She was extremely horrified, but Yuan Zhi remained calm and said vaguely: "She must have been frightened by the emperor's banner and the power of the Chinese army, so she stayed behind closed doors..."
Luo Jian stared at Yuan Zhi coldly.
If you serve as the army of six towns, all the people will be like cattle?
Even pigs and sheep should howl a few times. But at this time, the town is as silent as death, and not even a child can be heard crying?
And that's not the only thing that's weird...
Luo Jian raised his eyes and looked around, passing by the collapsed west gate, the blackened city wall, as well as several lingering fires and billowing smoke, and asked suspiciously: "General Yuan, how did this city be broken?"
?"
Yuan Zhi paused for a moment, then shook his head decisively and said: "I don't know... When Yuan led his army to the city, he saw the commander fighting at the top of the city. He quickly seized the city gate, and then the army marched straight in..."
Li Chengzhi fights at the top of the city?
Yang Jun's heart almost jumped out of his chest: "Just rely on his two teams of personal guards?"
Where did the two teams of personal guards come from then?
Is it true that when we send fast horses everywhere to convey orders, we only send three or five?
You, Yang Sima, took away Sanshi. Yuanjian went to Xiazhou and took away Sanshi. Yuanyan went to Jingzhou and took away Sanshi. Li Ruifu took away Sanshi when he went to Huaishuo to summons. Li Liang went to Wuyuan.
When I gave him the order, I took away Sanshi...
Just do the math, how much is left?
Seeing the weird look on Yuan Zhi's face, Yang Jun also reacted, his eyes almost bulging out of his sockets: Li Rui once mentioned after arriving in Huaishuo that Li Chengzhi only had five thousand Li family retainers around him...
"Just... five shi?"
Yuan Zhi didn't say anything, just nodded silently.
Yang Jun opened his mouth in shock.
How many soldiers are there in Woye City?
At least three to five thousand!
This does not include the townspeople and military households who have armor in every house and swords and guns in every house.
Sounds so incredible?
Luo Jian's eyes were shining with a faint light.
He didn't believe a word Yuan Zhi said...
Even if there were really a group of pigs raised in Woye Town, Li Chengzhi would definitely not be able to capture them with just five thousand retainers.
Five ten thousand dollars lost... what kind of joke are you talking about?
This is beyond human cognition, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a miracle...
Not surprisingly, because of Woye's sudden rebellion, Li Chengzhi no longer trusted the six towns, let alone Luo Jian, so he was unwilling to tell the truth.
Holding back the anger in his heart, Luo Jian raised his whip and slapped the horse's butt hard. The horse neighed and galloped away to the town office. A group of personal guards followed closely behind.
With no one around him, Yang Jun grabbed Yuan Zhi's sleeve and said urgently: "Tell me the truth..."
"Every statement I make is true!"
Yuan Zhi said helplessly, "I don't know when the commander-in-chief Yu sent Anjian to the city. They were all Li family retainers, but they never exceeded a hundred.
However, a hundred retainers scattered around the city and set fire to create chaos, forcing the rebels to divide their forces. There were also many who were storming the gate tower to seize the city gate. Therefore, there were only two soldiers left to fight with the general at the top of the city...
…
And with just these two soldiers, the general wiped out nearly two thousand defenders in the four gates of the city... Yuan Jian led a brigade of reinforcements to the city to help, but he didn't fire a single arrow or stab a shot in the whole process..."
"Two thousand dollars to sweep away two thousand?"
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have been just like Yang Sima and wouldn't have believed it!"
Yuan Zhi responded with a trembling voice, his eyes flashing: "So I have fallen in love with the commander-in-chief and am convinced!"
More than just falling into disbelief?
If this is the case, even worship is not enough...
Yang Jun gasped: "What about him, is he injured?"
Yuan Zhi thought about Li Chengzhi's appearance when he walked into the town office, and said leisurely: "Unscathed!"
Yang Jun's expression was as if he had seen a ghost, and he didn't know what to ask anymore.
After glancing around and seeing that all the bodyguards and servants were more than ten feet behind, Yuan Zhi lowered his voice: "If we trace the origin, it wouldn't be surprising...Has Sima ever heard of a rumor?"
Yang Jun subconsciously asked: "What is the rumor!"
"God's gift!"
For a moment, it seemed like time stopped flowing.
Yang Jun felt a dull expression on his face and couldn't think straight...
God-given?
Haha...how ridiculous?
But if not, how can we explain these miracles?
"I don't believe it..."
Yang Jun gritted his teeth and growled, just like Luo Jian, slapping his butt like crazy: "I want to ask him personally..."
……
"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta...ta-ta-ta-ta-ta..."
The two horses stepped into the gate of the mansion, their horses' hooves tapping on the spacious stone road, just like a monk tapping a wooden fish in a leisurely manner, crisp, sweet and rhythmic.
A group of personal guards were not qualified to ride their horses into the mansion, so they had to dismount outside the door and follow quickly.
Li Liang was about to scold angrily, but when he saw Yang Jun and Yuan Zhi, he immediately swallowed the curse and reported in through the door: "Commander, it's Yang Sima and Jinyang Nan (Yuan Zhi)!"
A burst of hearty laughter came from the hall: "Haha... Look, it really is Brother Jisun? Please..."
According to the Commander-in-Chief's wishes, Luo Jian hasn't arrived yet?
Yuan Zhi was suspicious and looked around, but didn't see Luo Jian's mount.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Just as he was about to take a step, a figure flashed beside him. Yang Jun rushed into the Yamen hall impatiently.
As soon as he entered the door, it was like hitting an invisible wall, and Yang Jun stopped involuntarily.
Li Chengzhi sat in front of the case with his upper body naked, while two maids held wet wipes and were scrubbing his bloody body.
A pile of clothes peeled off on the ground, including iron armor, leather robes, middle coats, and felt boots. But no matter what they were, they all seemed to be soaked in blood. The smoke in the sutra hall was smoked, and the blood ice melted.
, spreading like countless dark red earthworms on the stone bricks.
There are two wooden buckets at the feet, which should be used for washing wet wipes, but the color of the water is already red, like boiled cinnabar.
If we hadn't taken the lead in fighting the enemy, how could it have been so tragic?
Yuan Zhi did not lie...
Yang Jun's chest was as hot as fire, his throat felt like a handful of sawdust was stuffed, and he screamed hoarsely: "But... you're hurt?"
Li Chengzhi laughed loudly and said: "If I am injured, can I still chat and laugh with you? Don't worry, they are all the blood of enemies and thieves..."
"As expected...you defeated the two thousand defenders on the city with only two thousand soldiers?"
"Two thousand... two thousand?"
Yuan Yi shook his hand and the milk in the cup splashed all over his chest.
He was so busy wondering how Li Chengzhi could pinch and count, but he forgot to ask where the blood came from.
Li Chengzhi thought for a moment: How many two thousand?
I just remember that the defenders on the city were like crazy. They jumped down the city like dumplings. How could they have time to count?
Thinking about it now, even he himself felt it was amazing: How could the grenade be so effective?
Not to mention the camp soldiers and military households who were too frightened by Li Feng and Li Cong to raise their heads, let alone go out, but only the town troops who were urgently summoned to the city by Lu Yan.
More than two thousand soldiers would rather commit suicide by jumping off the three-foot-high city wall, but dare not turn around and fight to the death?
If you muster the courage to look back, you will know that there are only a dozen or so people chasing you...
It can be seen that the ancients did not deceive me. Once the morale of the army is broken, it will be like a mountain falling!
Sighing secretly in his heart, Li Chengzhi replied calmly: "It's just a mob, nothing to praise..."
A mob...is that true?
Yang Jun only felt that the heels of his teeth were itching and sore. He kept wiggling his tongue and puffing out his cheeks, wanting to suck at Li Chengzhi.
Do Yuan Ying, Yuan Cheng, and Li Chong dare to say that the army of the six towns is a mob? Do Xi Kangsheng, Yang Dayan, and Cui Yanbo dare to say such things?
You really got the advantage and behaved well...
He felt secretly resentful in his heart, but his fear was relieved a lot. Yang Shu quickly saluted Yuan Yi: "I have met His Highness!"
"Don't be too polite..."
Yuan Yi couldn't care less about Yang Jun. He didn't even bother to wipe the milk from his chest. He reached out and touched Li Chengzhi's body: "Li Chengzhi, are you really a human?"
Li Chengzhi waved his hand and swatted it away. Just as he was about to laugh and curse, Li Liang reported again from outside the door: "Commander, Governor Luo is asking for an audience outside the mansion!"
Governor Luo?
Who else besides Luo Jian?
Being interrupted by Yang Jun, he actually forgot about Luo Jian...
He pretended to be angry and cursed: "How dare you block the Duke of Luo County (the Duke of Shiyi County, Luo Jian's title) outside the house, why don't you invite him quickly?"
Li Liang is going to die of grievance.
I said it three or four times, saying that the commander-in-chief had already given instructions, and that Governor Luo had just arrived, so please come directly into the hall.
But Luo Jian didn't know what was wrong. He walked outside the threshold and refused to enter again. He had to let the soldiers report to Duke Li?
Muttering secretly, Li Liang rushed out of the house and invited Luo Jian in.
Yang Jun and Yuan Zhi looked at each other, both secretly thinking in their hearts: Are they going to suffer?
Both of them thought that it was Li Chengzhi's personal guards who blocked Luo Jian outside the house.
In terms of title, the two are equal. In terms of official position, the two are still equal.
But in terms of background and qualifications, the gap between Li Chengzhi and Luo Jian is as far as from Liuzhen to Luoyang.
It was fine for Li Chengzhi not to leave the house to greet him, but he forced Luo Jian to introduce himself outside the house, which was extremely humiliating.
He was willing to brave the bitter cold and bumpy roads for a whole day and night, but in the end he came to nothing. Luo Jian was probably very angry. Now that he came in, it would be strange not to explode...
Li Chengzhi had stopped scrubbing and asked his maid to put on a clean middle coat with him. When he saw Luo Jian entering the hall, he immediately clasped his fists and said with a smile, "It's Li who was rude, and the county official Haihan... If it weren't for the inconvenience, I would have come out of the house to greet him early one morning."
Already..."
The strange thing is that Luo Jian neither returned the gift nor made a sound. He first looked at Li Chengzhi, who was bare-chested and still stained with blood. Then he looked at the pile of armor that was peeled off on the ground and looked like it was washed with blood.
And the two buckets of blood.
Just when Yang Jun secretly thought that he was going to suffer, and was about to mediate, he saw Luo Jian let out a long sigh and bowed down, his waist almost level with the ground.
This is a great gift!
When Yang Jun saw Yuan Yi, he only bowed slightly when he handed over his hand.
"Young Master Li has great righteousness, please accept Luo's worship!"
Li Chengzhi can’t even be punished.
Among the four or five people in this hall, he is the only one who is the Duke...
He was so surprised that he didn't even have time to put on his shoes. Li Chengzhi greeted him barefoot and lifted Luo Jian up: "The Duke's words are serious, and Li is scared..."
Luo Jian felt his whole body light up and his feet almost left the ground.
He is covered in fish scale armor and has a burly figure. Even the armor weighs at least two hundred and fifty sixty pounds. But in Li Chengzhi's hands, he is like a baby?
Can you see Li Chengzhi’s magical power?
Before coming to Zhenya, he happened to encounter Yuan Xi tying up rebels under the city. He was surprised and asked a few questions.
After asking, I found out that what Yuan Zhi said was not only true, but also implicit.
When seizing the gate, Li Chengzhi did bring two dozen retainers with him, but from beginning to end, Li Chengzhi faced the enemy single-handedly, preventing Lu Yan's brigade of armored soldiers from advancing even an inch.
Those two thousand servants of the Li family huddled behind Li Chengzhi as if they were watching a play...
After that, it was Li Chengzhi who still pursued the enemy with a gun, and the number of the defeated army that he forced to jump to the city and fell to death was more than 1,500?
Ask yourself, even if he were twenty years younger, as young as Li Chengzhi, and given ten more courages, Luo Jian still wouldn't be able to accomplish such a feat.
It’s not that his martial arts skills or strength are not as good as those of Li Chengzhi, but his courage and mind.
Since you are already the Duke of a county, the governor of four states, and have tens of thousands of troops and horses under your command, why do you need to take such a dangerous move?
To put it more seriously: even if all six towns are lost, or even if the Yuan and Wei dynasties are destroyed, how can I save my own life?
Ninety-nine percent of the time, ninety-nine percent of people will admire people who they can’t do or dare not do, but others can do it as easily as eating and drinking.
Luo Jian can only admire him.
What's more, if it weren't for Li Chengzhi, the fertile fields would be in chaos, and Yuan Yi would not be spared... Based on this, Li Chengzhi was a great favor to Luo, and he was convinced this week.
After a while of being polite, several people sat down one by one.
Luo Jian was not like Yuan Yi, and Yang Jun was so close that it was hard to be too casual. Li Chengzhi stopped scrubbing, hurriedly changed his clothes and returned to the Yamen Hall.
"As soon as the military information was reported to the county magistrate yesterday, I won't be verbose anymore. Just one point: I just checked Lu Yan's cronies and said that nearly ten thousand Rouran Qingqi had arrived at Jinhao Pass yesterday night.
, I will definitely enter the customs today...
Therefore, Li wants to lead the tiger cavalry to Langshan to meet the enemy. If it is convenient for the county magistrate, can you please lend me thousands of soldiers?"
It was astonishing, and everyone was stunned: Is Li Chengzhi addicted to substituting people?
This should be the responsibility of Six Towns...well, Luo Jian.
Otherwise, what is the use of him as the governor of the three towns?
Yuan Yi was a little anxious: "Where are the affairs in the city?"
Li Chengzhi looked at Luo Jian, whose face was full of astonishment: "I will hand it over to His Highness and the county magistrate...
