Chapter 250: Entering the main altar at night
Meng Yao is indeed not a simple person. It seems that she has seen through his plan.
Dong Xiangyun on the side was excited but found that Yang Xiao was not as happy as they were, but instead had his eyebrows furrowed deeply.
"Your Highness¡ª¡ª"
"You'd better call me by my name," Yang Xiao suddenly stopped her words and said, "If someone doesn't allow me to call you His Highness, thenit's not necessary."
Dong Xiangyun was stunned for a moment, then smiled. Yan Fang couldn't help but feel a hint of sweetness in her heart. I'm afraid only she could understand the sweetness.
"Yang-Yang-smile, didn't they retreat? What are you worried about?"
"Haha -" Yang Xiao sat on a large chair and said with a wry smile, "If Meng Yao continues to attack the city gate, then we are not far from victory. Unfortunately, she still saw through my plan."
Dong Xiangyun was surprised again. She and Yang Xiao were together from beginning to end, but she had no idea that he had any other plans. He just dug a few huge holes in the city gate.
Does that trap work? Dong Xiangyun thought about it a few times, but still couldn't figure it out.
Seeing that she was thoughtful, Yang Xiao smiled and said: "Although I know that I can't defend it in the end, but according to common sense, when attacking a city, the first priority is to break the city gate so that the army can advance straight in."
Yang Xiao paused and then said: "This is a weakness, but it is also an advantage. Creating obstacles in places where you can drive straight in can give you the advantage of being able to block thousands of people."
Dong Xiangyun understood a little bit.
"They seem to be attacking in a turbulent way, but they are stuck at the city gate. If they dig a big hole, we will kill them. Although she has an army of 100,000, we are waiting for work. The outcome of this battle is also unknown. It is a pity -"
Dong Xiangyun¡¯s eyes lit up again. The little gangster was indeed a strange person, and every thought had unpredictable power.
"It's a pity that Meng Yao is not a barbarian, and General Wen Tailai is also a rare good general. I am afraid that the real siege will come next."
"What is a real siege?" Dong Xiangyun asked puzzledly.
"Use our own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses, but that's fine, at least we have secured time"
Seeing Dong Xiangyun¡¯s puzzled look, Yang Xiao smiled and said, ¡°Meng Yao will be a demolition worker next.¡±
"You mean she's going to build a city wall?"
"Yeah" Yang Xiao nodded confidently, "Once the city wall is broken, there are city gates everywhere. At that time, the real troops will be divided into several groups to attack the city."
Before the news of Yang Jie's joke faded, Meng Yao's army once again launched dozens of "Zhentian Crossbows" with iron guns.
¡°Boom¡ªboom¡ªboom¡ª¡±
?? Continuous blasts of sky-shaking crossbows hit the thick city wall. Each iron gun took away a large piece of city bricks, making the entire battlement tremble.
Out of reach of bows and arrows, the imperial guards on the city wall were stunned by the situation before them. The originally high-spirited Dou Qi suddenly fell to the bottom.
While Dong Xiangyun admired her, she was also secretly frightened: "Yang Xiao, what should we do?"
"Hehe - what to do with the bombardment? They attack the walled city, and we use the Sky-shattering Crossbow. I hope the number of Sky-shaking Crossbows brought by the Meng Yao Family is not very large."
Dong Xiangyun suddenly understood, and quickly ran to the place where the Sky-shattering Crossbow was placed on the city wall, and ordered: "Aim the Sky-shaking Crossbow outside and destroy it for me, the general."
"Yes" The guards adjusted their crossbow racks again and fired at Meng Yao's Sky-shattering Crossbow.
"Crack¡ª¡ª"
"Boom¡ª¡ª"
Every time the hundreds of Sky-shattering crossbows on the city tower were fired, they would hit several of Meng Yao's Sky-shaking crossbows, shattering them into pieces, and the rest would pass through the crowd and take away several lives.
At the same time, the walls of Wangjiang Tower were also beaten into holes.
As a result, the first day slowly entered the evening in the exchange of bombardments. In addition to the relatively large number of casualties in the first wave of attacks by the Meng Yao family, the total number of subsequent casualties was more than a thousand casualties. On the contrary, it was the loss of the Sky-shattering Crossbow. Dozens.
The night slowly came to an end, and the Meng Yao family stopped attacking. They beat drums early and withdrew their troops and returned to Erlipu.
In Meng Yao's estimation, the broken city wall will be fully deduced in at most two days, so she is not in a hurry at this moment.
After a tiring day, Yang Xiao arranged for patrol and returned to Wangjiang Tower.
In Wangjiang Tower, Qin Xiaoxiao and Hui Yatou were already waiting eagerly. Looking at Yang Xiao, who looked tired and slightly pale, they were already heartbroken.
After dinner, Li Pu went back to give Yang Xiao acupuncture to introduce the vitality of heaven and earth into the body, and practice the ethereal "Taoist cultivation"."Shenggong", when I woke up in the middle of the night, all the fatigue in my body was gone.
When Yang Xiao woke up from meditation, she found that Dong Xiangyun had been chattering outside for a few days. When she walked out of the room, she saw several white-faced and beardless old men talking to Dong Xiangyun kindly.
Some of those fair-faced old men looked very familiar, one of whom I had seen in the Goldsmithing Workshop that day.
It turned out to be the old emperor's personal bodyguard.
When Yang Xiao walked out of the room, everyone stood up and said, "Your Highness Yang Xiao"
Yang Xiao nodded and asked in surprise: "Why are you here? Where is the Emperor?"
One of them said: "The master is still in Daxing Palace. He said that he will not go to the south bank of Luoshui for the time being, and asked us old bones to accompany his highness."
Yang Xiao felt warm in her heart. Although Grandpa Lao Shacai had a bad temper, he still cared about him very much.
Dong Xiangyun also said at this moment: "When you were resting just now, General Chen came back and was patrolling the city. He said that the prince and the old emperor did not need him around."
Yang Xiao nodded, understanding what the old man Zhu and the old emperor were thinking. He wanted to use all his strength to defend the city.
Dong Xiangyun looked at him and said: "Lao Mao and I just discussed that we should capture the thief first and then capture the king and go to their Chinese army tent."
Yang Xiao looked at everyone in surprise, and nodded when he saw a few old guys eager to try.
¡°The old emperor¡¯s bodyguards are all martial arts masters. If they can be beheaded successfully, they will naturally become invisible. But Yang Xiao vaguely felt that the matter was not that simple, and he vaguely felt that it was a bit regretful that Meng Yao died like this. In short, this feeling suddenly came to his heart when Dong Xiangyun mentioned the beheading operation.
When Dong Xiangyun, Lao Mao and the others turned into black stockings and disappeared in Wangjiang Tower, Yang Xiao's mood became a little brighter.
A man put on his clothes, quietly walked out of Wangjiang Tower, and walked toward the city gate. Along the way, the guards who came and went to maintain law and order in the city kept saying hello to him.
Yang Xiao thought about his thoughts and responded in a daze. After a while, he boarded the tower. As soon as he got on the tower, he saw General Chen Jian staring blankly in the direction of Erlipu like a wooden stake. Even when Yang Xiao came to his side, he did not hesitate. know.
"What are you looking at so fascinatedly?" Yang Xiao walked forward and followed his gaze.
"Your Majesty, please see me." Seeing Yang Xiao and Chen Jian, he quickly turned around and bowed.
Yang Xiao nodded. Erlipu was brightly lit in the distance, and the originally silent camp suddenly became commotion.
Chen Jian pursed his lips and smiled: "General Dong led a few people to the Chinese army's tent just now, presumably to assassinate the Meng Yao family¡ª¡ª"
Just as Chen Jian was speaking, the camp began to boil like boiling water, and countless torches lit up the night sky.
Suddenly, there was a roar, and a fire dragon slowly moved towards the Caobang main altar. From a distance, it looked as if a giant dragon was going to devour the dark Caobang. Yang Xiao vaguely seemed to see several figures in front of the fire dragon running towards Caobang.
Yang Xiao suddenly felt blessed and blurted out to Chen Jian: "General Chen, please quickly bring some people with me."
Chen Jian didn't ask why, and hurriedly summoned forty or fifty imperial guardsmen to follow Yang Xiao downstairs.
Forty or fifty people followed Yang Xiao back to Wangjiang Tower along the Luoshui River. At this time, Yang Xiao did not enter Wangjiang Tower and ran to a dry well in the distance.
That was the place where Yang Xiao escaped from the Cao Cang Headquarters. It was a secret passage that not many people in the Cao Clan knew about.
Ordering people to move some big rocks at the wellhead, Yang Xiao climbed down along the wellhead, pushed open a stone door in the middle and entered the tunnel.
After everyone came in, Yang Xiao led the imperial guards to the hinterland of Caobang along the curve in his memory.
The twists and turns of the tunnel made everyone a little confused. Fortunately, Yang Xiao had marked it at the time, and it took almost half an hour to reach the underground fountain.
The gears of the fountain were still turning slowly, and the gurgling water flowed gurglingly. Everyone was stunned when looking at the magical fountain that was like entering heaven.
Yang Xiao ran forward without stopping. After turning three or four turns, the faint sound of swords clashing could be heard in front of him.
¡°Quickly¡ªquickly¡ªlet¡¯s go quickly,¡± Yang Xiao hurriedly called for everyone to come up.
When Yang Xiao rushed to the place where the voice came from, he found more than a dozen corpses lying in the tunnel, some wearing Guards clothes, some wearing black clothes, and a few white folds scattered on the ground
Farther away, the secret room where Qing'er and Dong Xiangyun were originally locked was also opened. Yang Xiao ran over and took a look. There was nothing left in the stone room.
It turns out that Dong Xiangyun is right, the female master of the star divination sect leadsSeeing that General Jinwu was indeed hiding in the secret room, the corpses of these imperial guards must have been killed by them and escaped.
Yang Xiao and the others followed the traces of the fight and slowly walked up the tunnel with twists and turns. A few lights of fire faintly came in from the corners.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and the sound of fighting outside became even louder.
Climbing the steps and arriving at a house, I opened the wooden door and suddenly saw the light.
Small pavilion, rockery, flowing water
Isn¡¯t this the place where Yang Xiao and Meng Yao met that day?
At this time, the old men around the pavilion, Laomao, were fighting with more than a dozen big men. The big man who came from nowhere seemed to have high martial arts skills. Among them, the young man in white was the General Jinwu whom he had seen during the siege at Zhujinfang that day. Old cats and several old men with superb martial arts skills could compete with them.
At this moment, Dong Xiangyun was also fighting with the female master of the star divination, and the black and white lines were intertwined like two butterflies.
Meng Yao in the unique pavilion seems to be holding a volume of Piaotian Literature in his hand. Reading is a kind of enjoyment. It is recommended that you collect it.
