"Hahahaha! The cultural festival is great! You are really good at burning the fire!" Looking at the Qiang army struggling and crying in the raging fire below on the top of the city, Deng Dang couldn't help laughing loudly.
His big hand kept patting the shoulders of Jiang Ji next to him, pointing at the enemies outside the city and shouting: "Wen Jie! This method of yours is really effective!"
Jiang Ji also breathed a long sigh of relief. Looking at the panicked army outside the city, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he hummed: "It seems that there are no great people among the Qiang and Xiongnu people! This general who led the army unexpectedly even
We don’t know any basic siege methods! If that’s all we have, then it won’t be difficult for us to defend Longxi City! It seems we were too worried before!”
Jiang Jiong is right. Yue Ji became a general of the Qiang people, mostly because of his bravery. Yue Ji didn't know a single word, let alone the art of war. Although Hu Chuquan advocated learning from the Han people
system, but his ability in the art of war is also pitiful. As for the last Wang Yun, Wang Yun is a good player in intrigues and intrigues, but when it comes to marching and fighting, I'm afraid he is not as good as Huchuquan and Yue
Good luck! Just looking at history, after Wang Yun got rid of Dong Zhuo, he was still forced to commit suicide by Li Jue and Guo Si. It can be seen that Wang Yun really has no talent for fighting!
The fire under the city wall could not keep burning. Soon, all the kerosene and debris were burned, and the fire slowly extinguished. The Qiang soldiers originally planned to climb up again, but when their hands just
After sticking to the city wall, there were countless blisters immediately! It turned out that the fire just now had baked the city wall very hot. No matter how agile the Qiang soldiers were, they would not be able to climb on the hot city wall.
!Deng Dang and Jiang Jiu, who were on the top of the city, saw each other and laughed again.
When Yueji saw it, he could only wave his riding crop with an annoyed look on his face, but there was nothing he could do about the city wall in front of him. Seeing the blackened city wall, it was impossible to cool down for a few hours, and Yueji could not let his men do it.
The soldiers stood there stupidly and took arrows, so they could only order the soldiers to retreat temporarily.
After winning the first battle, Deng Dang, Jiang Jiong and the soldiers behind them all cheered. Many soldiers kept shouting and laughing at the enemies who were retreating like a tide. After watching the enemies finally retreat, Deng Dang laughed.
Then he said to Jiang Ji: "Wen Jie! If they dare to come again in the future, this is what we will do! Burn them sons of bitches to death!"
Jiang Ji also laughed for a while, but slowly he frowned, shook his head and said: "No! This trick can only be used once, it won't work if used too many times! The Huns and Qiang people are very cunning, next time
When they see us pouring fuel on them, they will immediately back away. If we do this, it will only be a waste of fuel! Next time we will fight them with real swords and guns!"
Hearing what Jiang Ji said, Deng Dang was stunned for a moment, but soon he grinned, waved his big hands in the air, and shouted: "Just hit them! Huh! I was a little worried before, but now I see what they are capable of."
, no matter how many people there are, I’m not afraid!”
"Yes!" Jiang Ji also nodded. Deng Dang was right. Although the Qiang and Xiongnu coalition forces were much more numerous than the defenders, the incompetence of one general exhausted all three armies! With the level of the other general, even if they
No matter how many soldiers and horses there are, they can't capture Longxi City guarded by Deng Dang and Jiang Ji! However, Jiang Ji's expression did not ease, and he said in a deep voice: "Actually, I don't care about this, I just feel a little strange. Since
The lord has learned the news a long time ago. Why didn't he send reinforcements in advance? Why did the reinforcements not arrive until ten days later? Not to mention the lord's cavalry, even ordinary infantry, if they arrived early, they would have arrived early.
We rushed to Longxi County!"
"Uh!" Hearing what Jiang Jiong said, Dengdang was also stunned. Dengdang was not the kind of reckless man who only immersed himself in killing the enemy. After Jiang Jiong reminded him, he quickly saw the trick.
.Immediately Deng Dang frowned, rubbed the stubble on his chin with his hand, thought about it carefully, and murmured: "Wenjie, when you say this, it really makes sense! But why on earth did the lord do this?
Woolen cloth?"
"Of course it makes sense for my lord to do this!" At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind the two of them. Deng Dang and Jiang Jiu turned their heads at the same time and saw a young civil servant smiling.
Standing behind the two people, hehe, was the envoy sent from Chang'an to inform Deng Dang, Yi Ji, a student of Qingcheng College at that time!
"Ah! Mr. Yi!" Although Yi Ji is younger than Deng Dang and Jiang Ji, this time Yi Ji came to Longxi County on behalf of Luo Yang. Both of them respected Yi Ji very much and immediately turned to face Yi Ji.
He cupped his fists and saluted.
"You two generals don't need to be polite!" Yi Ji didn't dare to accept the courtesy from the two of them. He walked up quickly, held their bodies with both hands, and said to Deng Dang and Jiang Ji with a smile: "
I have just seen the abilities of the two generals. I believe that the two generals should be able to handle this task of dealing with the Qiang and Huns coalition forces! Since the two generals have realized the mystery of this mission, I will not
I'm hiding this from the two generals! But this is not the place to talk, so please come down with me!" After saying that, Yi Ji made a gesture of invitation, signaling Deng Dang and Jiang Ji to follow him to the top of the city.
Although Deng Dang and Jiang Jiu were a little confused, Yi Ji was also one of their own, so they naturally didn't hesitate much. They nodded and followed Yi Ji down to the top of the city. Yi Ji also directly found a remote corner and said to the two of them.
He said straight to the point: "I'll tell you the truth, two generals! In fact, this time the Qiang people and the Xiongnu sent troops to Longxi, my lord has already received the news! However, my lord kept it secret and did not send reinforcements, but there was another reason!" After that,
Yi Ji told Deng Dang and Jiang Ji the suggestions that Lu Xun gave to Luo Yang.
After listening to Yi Ji's words, Deng Dang and Jiang Ji were silent for a long time. Finally, Jiang Ji took a deep breath and said, "I understand! What my lord means is that we can hold off the enemy here! Then let
The princes of Guandong think that the lord must do his best to deal with these Qiang and Xiongnu coalition forces! Isn’t that right?”
"That's right!" Yi Ji nodded directly and said: "I also know that my lord's decision is a bit cruel, but in order to be able to unify the world as soon as possible, my lord has no other choice! Only in this way can the princes of Guandong fall into war.
At that time, my lord can end this troubled world as soon as possible. In comparison, it can save all the people in the world from the war. Now this sacrifice is worth it!"
"I understand!" Jiang Ji nodded with a lonely look on his face. In fact, the reason was the same as when he argued with Deng Dang before about how to deal with the people of Taoyang City. The only difference is that this time the stakes are greater.
Can the whole world be unified as soon as possible? How could Jiang Jiong not know which one is more important? Taking a deep breath, Jiang Jiong also put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, and then said to Yi Ji: "Master Yi! The truth behind this,
Jiang understands! Just ask Mr. Yi for instructions!"
Seeing that Jiang Ji did not raise any objections, Deng Dang was relieved. After all, this was different from the previous argument between Jiang Ji and himself. What Yi Ji said was the opinion of the lord Luo Yang. If Jiang Ji objected
If you have an opinion, it is against the lord! This relationship is really serious! Jiang Jiong's future is definitely over! As Jiang Jiong's friend, Deng Dang does not want Jiang Jiong's talents to be buried and his future to be ruined! Now Jiang Jiong
Ji had agreed, so Deng Dang naturally had no objections. Dang even said to Yi Ji: "Master Yi! Just tell me what we should do!"
"Haha!" Seeing the appearance of the two people, Yi Ji also observed it secretly, and then he laughed and said: "The two generals don't need to think too much, they just need to defend Longxi like today! I was talking before
I once said that as long as the two generals can hold on for ten days, the lord will definitely send reinforcements!"
After listening to Yi Ji's words, Jiang Ji was a little confused again, and immediately asked: "Master Yi! If the lord sends reinforcements, wouldn't it be possible to repel the enemy quickly? Then what the master just said,
As for the master’s plans, haven’t they all come to nothing again?”
"Hahahaha!" Yi Ji laughed, shaking his head and saying with a mysterious smile: "Well, please forgive me for letting you know about it first. Anyway, the lord will naturally have arrangements by then!"
"That's right!" Yi Ji was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and turned around and said: "There is one more thing I forgot to tell the two generals! This time the Qiang and the Huns jointly sent troops to Longxi.
Someone is causing trouble in secret! And the master has already found out the person who is causing trouble in secret. He is the former Situ Wang Yun who was sent to the Xiongnu side by the master before!"
"Wang Yun! How could it be him!" Hearing Yi Ji pronounce Wang Yun's name, Deng Dang and Jiang Ji couldn't help but exclaimed. Especially Jiang Ji, although he had always stayed at the border, Wang Yun
Wang Yun's reputation in the Central Plains is quite good. More importantly, Wang Yun's external image has always been that of a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. But this time, he secretly united with the Qiang people, Xiongnu and other foreign tribes to send troops to attack the Han Dynasty. Isn't this obvious?
Betrayal? This made it difficult for Jiang Ji to accept this fact for a while!
After all, Deng Dang had stayed in Chang'an for a while and heard about Wang Yun from his brother-in-law. So besides being surprised at the beginning, he quickly regained his composure. However, Deng Dang waved his hand in anger.
He waved his fist and snorted: "This old man! He is so sanctimonious on the surface, but he actually does such shameless things in private! Humph! When I catch him, I will never spare him!"
