"General, let's do it now." Peng Chi saluted and accepted the order.
"General Zhengdong, please work hard and don't let me down." I turned around and smiled.
"The last general is willing to follow the real person to the death." Peng Chi knelt down and kowtowed. The reason why he was so excited was because although he was promoted by me, he did not have a title. Without a title, he was equivalent to being in the inspection period. The reason for this arrangement was because Yang Zhong and Lin Yicheng are not at ease with him. Now my words will undoubtedly turn him into a regular official. General Zhengdong is his name.
"Don't follow him. After the war, we will leave and be loyal to your country." King Kong Pao interrupted first. I nodded to indicate that King Kong Pao was right and then raised my hand to signal him to get up.
"Leave some people to guard this city, make some food, and then march out to capture Linji." I issued the order. As the saying goes, soldiers are valuable and they must be quick and when morale is high, they must attack the city in one go.
"Get the order" Peng Chi was ordered to retreat
After the siege battle, the army commander naturally wanted to inspect the newly occupied city. Wu Qingzhu, Wu Qingzhu, and Jingang Pao, together with me, accompanied by the soldiers, patrolled the city and inspected it. Since the war did not last long, Gucheng did not suffer serious damage. The residents in the city were busy. They took out food to comfort the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. They did this not because they loved us but to please us. For ordinary residents, it is none of their business who is in power. Life must continue as long as they don't die.
Naturally, I would not accept their condolences. This is not because I abide by the three major disciplines and the eight points of attention, but because I don¡¯t want to disturb the people. The deeper thought is that I am worried that they will poison the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and the city is big, so are the people. We all have to guard against
The reward for fighting for the soldiers was one pound of cooked meat and two taels of white wine per person. This common food for modern people was a huge luxury at this time. The officers and soldiers were all smiling. It was a big deal for them to stay alive and have a full meal. happiness
Naturally, those soldiers who surrendered could not get food. The King Kong Cannon couldn't bear to see the Northern Qi soldiers who had taken off their armor and were shivering in the cold wind, so they ordered the cooks to cook the animals in the water so that they could have a full meal before going home. I strongly agree with the actions of the Vajra Cannon. Neither of us are ruthless people. We are only ruthless to our enemies. These people are no longer our enemies.
The follow-up work after occupying a city is extremely tedious. We need to collect and clear the treasury, appease the residents, and win over the squires. Naturally, we don't have time to do these tasks, so Peng Chi left a lot of soldiers in Gucheng to prevent a civil uprising, and the large army left Gucheng. Continue north to Linji in the north
The use of rifles accelerated the development of the war. The subsequent city was captured as easily as Gucheng. Peng Chi's previous strategy of releasing soldiers also played a huge role. The soldiers defending the city gave up their weapons after a symbolic resistance. There were many surrenders, some even directly surrendered to Kaicheng without even resisting.
During this period, an interesting thing happened. After being allowed to leave the city, the soldiers who laid down their weapons actually stayed on until they ate the meat of cattle and sheep before heading home. This scene made the King Kong Cannon laugh loudly and cursed "nothing" and I I deeply felt the hardship of people¡¯s lives at this time.
Successive victories boosted the morale of the Northern Zhou army. In less than a month, they advanced to Yecheng, the capital of Northern Qi. Twenty thousand troops set up camp on the south side of Yecheng, preparing to launch the final offensive.
The reason why there are only 20,000 soldiers left out of 100,000 is not because of attrition in the war, but because every time a city is conquered, many defenders are left behind. However, although we only have 20,000 soldiers, they are all elites, old, weak, sick and disabled, selected from a hundred. They all stayed in the city that we had conquered previously. In addition, although there were not many soldiers and supplies, the reserves were extremely sufficient. A large amount of supplies were continuously sent from the rear.
After the troops were stationed, I began to observe the situation in Yecheng. Yecheng is the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty. The city walls are naturally very high. There are also many court officials gathered here. Since I have previously learned that the Northern Zhou Dynasty is launching a large-scale attack, there should be a large amount of supplies for soldiers in the city. There should be more than 30,000 monks and nuns with cultivation level above Purple Qi and hundreds of people. In addition, there are also many birds gathered in the city. It is obvious that they were summoned by Xu Shuangping.
Although there is a lot of purple energy in the city, I still found a few familiar auras among the many auras. They are the boss, Ma Lingfeng, the third brother, Long Wufeng, the sixth brother, Murong Zhuifeng, and the eighth brother, Wen Xiaofeng.
Ma Lingfeng is the Imperial Master of the Northern Qi Dynasty. He should naturally be here, but the third, sixth and eighth children should not be here. Especially the eighth child does not like Ma Lingfeng. Why is he here?
"Lao Yu, why are they here?" The aura of the Vajra Cannon can naturally detect the aura of the same sect in Ye City.
"It should be Ma Lingfeng who called me," I frowned and said.
"Ma Lingfeng can shout and move them." The King Kong Cannon also frowned.
"Ma Lingfeng is the master of Ziyang Temple. He can mobilize all the disciples of Ziyang Temple." I shook my head and said. The third, sixth and eighth children had always avoided direct contact with me and the Vajra Cannon, and now they left Ziyang Temple and came to Yecheng. The reason for this situation. ?If there is one, it is Ma Lingfeng who ordered them to come as the headmaster.
"What should I do, whether to fight or not?" King Kong Cannon asked.
"Wait a minute." I shook my head and spoke. The ammunition carried by the modern troops of the King Kong Cannon has basically been exhausted. The Huang women who transported ammunition from the Northern Zhou Dynasty have not arrived yet. Naturally, they cannot attack the city at this time. The most important thing is that I want to wait until night to see Wen Xiaofeng. He won't come to deliver any news. He has a good personal relationship with me. If there is anything he will tell me in advance.
"Cheng" Jingang Pao nodded in agreement. At this time, he really had no idea. As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. Murong Zhuifeng is in the city at this time. If she makes any mistake, Murong Zhuifeng will disappear immediately. Jingang Pao knows this very well.
We set up camp at noon and waited until midnight. Wen Xiaofeng didn't come. At this time, I started to get anxious. In fact, Wen Xiaofeng knew the method of burning incense and spreading rumors. If he had something to tell me, he could tell me about it. But now, no one has come even to say a word. No children
"Why haven't the ammunition come yet?" King Kong Cannon also became anxious. The reason for his anxiety was that Lin Yicheng informed him yesterday that the ammunition had been sent out. Logically speaking, it should have arrived by now.
"How many bullets are there now?" I turned around and asked
"Less than two thousand rounds," the Vajra Cannon replied.
"There shouldn't be any problems if you wait a little longer," I said. The reason why we were able to capture Beiqing so quickly was because we had rifles. If we lose the bullet rifle, it would be a fire stick. But at this time, this problem is not what I am most worried about. I am most worried. What is more important is that Ma Lingfeng ordered the third, sixth and eighth sons to go out to fight against the enemy. The most important disciple of Ziyang Temple will resolutely carry out the orders of the master. There will be no stupid young man like the King Kong Cannon who dares to steal the master's token for hundreds of years. If Ma Lingfeng orders them to meet the enemy, should I kill them or not?
"I have reported that the defenders of Yecheng are gathering at the city gate and seem to intend to open the city to fight." At this time, Peng Chi came to the camp to report
When King Kong Pao and I heard this, we immediately walked out of the camp and looked up. We found that just as Peng Chi said, the defenders of Yecheng were gathering in the city and the torches were already lit. They were really going to leave the city to attack us.
"That idiot is going to use them as the vanguard." The Vajra Cannon raised his hand and pointed to the north and yelled loudly. The so-called idiot naturally refers to Ma Lingfeng, and they refer to the three disciples of Ziyang Temple. At this time, their auras are appearing in the at the forefront of the team
"It's so despicable." I couldn't help but cursed. Ma Lingfeng actually used his own disciples to come out to fight with me. He knew that I couldn't attack them.
"What to do?" King Kong Cannon asked eagerly
"What should I do? Can you shoot at them?" I turned around and glared at this guy. Whenever he had a problem, he asked me what to do. I didn't know what to do. I only knew that I couldn't attack my fellow disciples. I had a grudge against Ye Aofeng and Ma Lingfeng, but I The other classmates have no grudges. Although they don't know at this time that I studied with them for thirty years in my previous life, I know the memory of my previous life clearly. How could I forget that the third senior brother was very kind and caring to me? Xiaojiu calls me Murong Zhuifeng, who will treat me like a biological brother in future generations. Besides, she is also the wife of King Kong Pao. I can¡¯t do anything to her. Wen Xiaofeng, needless to say, it¡¯s best if I have a personal relationship. Can I kill him?
¡°It¡¯s too despicable, it¡¯s too despicable¡± King Kong Pao could only stamp his feet and curse after hearing this.
"How do real people deal with this?" Peng Chi saw that the other party had already made an offensive gesture and hurriedly asked me what to do.
"Defense" I pondered for a moment and said. I can't kill my fellow disciples, but I can't just watch my troops being damaged. I can only set up a defensive position first.
Hearing this, Peng Chi immediately summoned troops to organize defense
"Inform your troops to attack the monks exclusively." I turned to look at the Vajra Cannon. The modern troops of the Vajra Cannon don't have much ammunition left. Kill the monk first.
"The monk hasn't come out, why are you shooting?" The Vajra Cannon raised its hand and pointed north again. After hearing this, I raised my head and looked north. Sure enough, I found that the monks had no intention of going out to lead the army. Only the generals of the army and three fellow disciples of Ziyangguan.
"Then beat the officer and the three of them and I will deal with it after they come out." I frowned and said, Ziyang Guan's fellow disciples, I naturally can't kill them. If it can't be done, I have to restrain the three of them first.
"The city gate is open," King Kong Cannon shouted and then ran towards his troops to prepare to command the battle.
At this moment, I suddenly felt Lin Yicheng's incense-burning rumor: "Chief Yu, come back quickly. Many giant monsters have appeared in Chang'an City and will kill you on sight. Come back quickly. There are too many, many, many."
"There are rumors." Wu Qingzhu next to me saw the gloomy look on my face and guessed that I was accepting rumors about burning incense from others.
"Ye Aofeng drove a large number of alien beasts to attack Chang'an. They set a trap for me so that I couldn't take care of both." I frowned and said. Lin Yicheng is not an alarmist. He used three sentences to emphasize the huge number of alien beasts. There are a lot of strange beasts appearing in Chang'an City
"What to do?" Wu Qingzhu also discovered the seriousness of the problem
When I heard this, I slowly shook my head.What is before me at this time is a difficult choice. If I stay here to fight, I will be taken away by Ye Aofeng. If I go back to rescue the war here, there will be no way to deal with it. The other side has two immortals and a large number of purple-qi monks and nuns. If they have fellow disciples inside, the Vajra Cannon will definitely not kill them. Besides, they are still extremely short of ammunition and it will definitely be a disastrous defeat.
What should I do if I don¡¯t want to leave or stay?
