Chapter 20 Don't ask common people, ask ghosts and gods!
"It's over, Dongli City is over!"

In Dongli City, Bu Linghou, the city lord known as the "Loulan Kingdom's diehard loyalist", is hiding under the bed at this moment, shivering and saying:
"The two armies are fighting, if you don't kill the envoy, you kill the envoy secretly behind my back, are you trying to ruin the lives of hundreds of people in my Bu family?"

Bu Linghou is the "Zuo Qiqu" of the Loulan Kingdom, but the Loulan Kingdom is more inclined to the feudal state system. In his own city-Dongli, he also has Wen Gong and Dongli Xiaowei to manage the civil and military affairs for him.

Duke Wen's hair is gray. He has been in charge of Dongli's civil affairs and diplomacy for many years. He is an extremely loyal and good minister. He sighed:
"Your Majesty, although Dongli is in danger, I heard that this group of Qingzhou soldiers also lost troops and lost their generals. The total number of soldiers is even five or six hundred less than my Dongli soldiers. Their strength is limited. You only need to hold on for one month, and wait for the Huns to come to their rescue. Come, the offensive and defensive momentum will be reversed, why bother to act like a little girl?"

Lieutenant Dongli is a tall general in armor, almost [-] meters tall. Looking down at Bu Linghou's cowardly hiding under the bed, he felt a little contempt in his heart, and said bluntly:
"Please Lord Hou go to the city in person, and promise to give all the beautiful maids of the Hou Mansion to the bravest soldiers. Ordinary soldiers will also be given delicious food, gold and silver. If so, the morale will definitely increase. There will be no problem in defending the city for a month."

In fact.

The beheading of the envoy was exactly what the rebellious Captain Dongli did. He beheaded first and played later, cutting off any thoughts of the two or five boys in the city.

He was born in the capital, and was once one of the personal guards of King Loulan, not a native of Dongli.

Even if the last Dongli soldier died in battle, he would still defend the eastern barrier of the Loulan capital.

however.

As soon as he heard that the beautiful maids were going to be distributed to the lowly Loulan soldiers, Bu Linghou immediately became 1 unhappy. He lay down under the bed and raised his head, sullenly said:

"A little food is fine. Among the beauties in the Hou's mansion, which one is not lonely? Do you want to be alone with those untouchables?
This matter is absolutely impossible! "

to the end.

Not to mention going to the city to motivate the soldiers, Duke Wen fought for a long time, but he only got half of the grain stored in the Hou's mansion and a few livestock, which was barely enough for the peasants and soldiers to eat for a month.

Lieutenant Dongli cursed secretly:
"You Gaomenhou's mansion, you have ruined the youthful lives of many women, it's better to let them leave the mansion early, at least my soldiers love their wives more than you do!"

Just now.

In the depths of the temple where the sacrificial activities had just ended, an old man with white hair suddenly ran out.

This person is the only great witch Zhu in Dongli City. He looked crazy and shouted:
"Your Majesty, the ghosts and gods have finally issued a decree!"

The two men on the left and right showed disgusted expressions, but Bu Linghou was overjoyed, and immediately became courageous, got out of the bed, grabbed the hands of the old witch Zhu, and said happily:

"Is there a way to save Dongli?"

"Have!"

The old witch Zhu raised his head and chest, and vowed:
"Although the ghosts and gods are in the spirit world, they can also set off a night parade of ghosts in the middle of the night. As long as they last till midnight, the Eastern barbarians outside the city will be scattered, and they will never be reborn forever!"

"it is good!"

Bu Linghou was overjoyed, and asked skillfully:
"Did the ghosts make any requests?"

The old witch Zhu smiled slightly:
"The ghosts and gods are sympathetic to Dongli's crisis. There is no need for human sacrifices this time, just a little bit of animal blood."

"good!"

Bu Linghou agreed immediately.

The two men on the left and right sighed, and there was always an ominous premonition.

as predicted.

Bu Linghou turned around and said coldly:

"Eat food as a soldier, when do you need to eat meat? All the livestock that are given to the soldiers should be sacrificed to the ghosts and gods."

then.

He asked Captain Dongli again, curled his lips and said:

"You guys want money, food, and a beautiful woman in gold and silver. It shouldn't be difficult to resist for a day, right?"

Lieutenant Dongli watched the many livestock that had just been pulled out of the Marquis Mansion and belonged to the soldiers, and were dragged into the temple again in a blink of an eye, where they cooked sheep and slaughtered cattle for the enjoyment of ghosts and gods, and said very depressedly:

"Defending our home and country is the duty of our sergeants. Let alone one day, even if we defend for thirty to fifty days, there will be no problem."

…………

Just when Bu Linghou seized the livestock that should have been distributed to the soldiers and dedicated them to ghosts and gods, the Dongli soldiers at the head of the city and the militiamen who were forcibly conscripted, under the slogan of "protecting the home and defending the country", Several times of violent attacks from the east were repelled.

About fifty Qingzhou soldiers, plus five hundred civilians, adopted the most traditional ants to attack the city, which is quite similar to the siege scenes in film and television dramas. .

pity.

Whenever a civilian husband or Qingzhou soldier climbed the city wall, he would be pushed down by the soldiers in the city immediately.

but--

quickly,

The commander in charge of the eastern battlefield quickly noticed something abnormal. The strength of the siege soldiers was too weak, so weak that he had one of the three classic illusions in life:

"I can fight back!"

The commander-in-chief couldn't figure it out, so he immediately reported the situation to Lieutenant Dongli. At this time, news also came from the west:
A large number of soldiers and civilian husbands carried and set fire together. Using horse dung, hay, and wet wood as fuel, a row of flames was ignited in the west, and thick smoke billowed, blowing toward the east Licheng City along the northwest wind.

Cover the sky!

Almost the entire view to the west has been restricted for the most part.

The soldiers were coughing, and it was difficult to see the distant environment clearly, but the commander was different. He had practiced martial arts for many years, and his eyes had long been alienated. He jumped to the top of the west arrow tower and looked into the distance. Hidden thousands of soldiers in blue robes inlaid with iron are approaching cautiously, for fear of being discovered by the defenders.

Lieutenant Dongli's fierce eyes, like those of a tiger's eyes, suddenly widened and he said furiously:
"No, this is the enemy's attack!"

"Immediately mobilize half of the soldiers in the east of the city, as well as the reserve force in the city, and rush to the west wall immediately. Regardless of whether that bullshit witch Zhu is pretending to be a ghost or really invited ghosts and gods, we must stay until nightfall!"

"Yes, Captain Dongli!"

The soldiers moved like the wind, the [-] soldiers in the east of the city and the [-] soldiers in the city, a total of [-] strong troops, rushed to the west wall like a gust of wind.

pity.

Those who climbed up the city wall from the thick smoke were only fifty Qingzhou soldiers and thousands of civilian men in green robes inlaid with iron.

Standing on a certain hillside, Jiang Chen laughed loudly and said:
"What age is it, are you still playing traditional slapstick?"

The mindset of the countries in the Western Regions traveling from east to west is the underground layer;
The ants attached to the siege in the east is the first floor;
The west side covers the sky and the sun, and the east hits the west is the second floor;
The strategy of exchanging clothes between civilian husbands and Qingzhou soldiers can barely be counted as the third layer;

For ordinary generals, it is already quite good to be able to perceive "striking east and west", but the real killer move is hidden on the fourth floor!

Located in the north of Dongli City, thousands of "people's husbands" transporting supplies suddenly opened the grain bags, and quickly raised the sword hidden in the grain carts, shining fiercely under the setting sun...

"God fast!"

Zhang Ying roared angrily.

Thousands of Qingzhou soldiers did not carry any siege equipment, rushed towards the city wall at an astonishing speed, and rushed to the bottom of the city in a blink of an eye.

Followed by.

Let's jump together!

The leap was four or five meters high, and most Qingzhou soldiers took advantage of the unevenness of the wall to stand firm and hold on. There were also strong men who directly inserted their swords into the yellow mud city wall.

In the blink of an eye.

Nearly seven or eight hundred Qingzhou soldiers successfully climbed up the north wall, and all the soldiers, including Zhang Ying, showed enthusiastic smiles on their faces!
This battle must be won!
…………

outside the city.

Jiang Chen stood on the hillside, observing the situation in the city, turned his head to Feng Lebin, and asked teasingly:
"Abin, I'm clever, are you okay?"

Feng Lebin was naturally admiring and strong, and after seeing the strategy took effect, he felt a little admiration, and said honestly: "It's very good."
