The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 84
Yang Yong received Xue Ju's letter and looked at it. The general meaning of the letter is: the Lord will learn from you, and the end will be rewarded. Soldiers from Tongzhou, Yongdu, Baiyin, and Sifang are coming to Jincheng, and an encirclement will soon be formed. Potential.But don't worry, my lord, I will offer a plan at the end, which can make the four groups of people and horses fall and disperse.

Among the four-way army, Tongzhou soldiers are their banner and backbone, and the others are all little toads.When Tongzhou soldiers approached the city, the last general led his army southward, threatening to take Tongzhou.If Niu Shan returns to the rescue, the lord can lead his elite out of the city and cover up the killing, and the last general will lead the troops back to intercept and kill, Niu Shan will undoubtedly be defeated.

If Niushan does not withdraw his troops, the enemy will be outnumbered, and the lord should not fight with him and stick to the city.In the end, the general still adopted the strategy of defrauding the city, and took Tongzhou and sent his troops northward. If the inside should cooperate with the outside, the Sui soldiers would surely break.Soldiers never tire of deceit, as the saying goes, what is true is false, and false is true, please make a quick determination, my lord.

Yang Yong was very happy after reading this. On my first day, this Xue Ju is almost catching up with Zhuge Liang. This strategy is too good.I have to learn from his strategies. At this time, Chang Gongye and Du Yi saw that Yang Yong was happy and asked him what good news he had. Yang Yong didn't hide it, so he passed the letter to Gongye Chang and Du Yi. He was also illiterate, so Chief Gongye explained it to him after reading it, and the two of them repeatedly claimed to be kind.

Yang Yong immediately gave instructions in the letter: "According to the plan", after using the seal, he was sent to Dingshui County on a fast horse.

In the afternoon, the Tongzhou soldiers really went to the city, but they did not fight or attack the city, but set up camp.Someone came to report that three more soldiers and horses were coming from the north, northeast, and southeast directions, only forty or fifty miles away.

Naturally, Yang Yong ignored them, and ordered the guards at the gates of the cities to be ready to guard, and not to fight without orders. Then he took Gongye Chang and Du Yi to the south city to watch the movements of the Tongzhou soldiers.

Yang Yong went out of the camp and went to the street, and saw that the old people in the city were also busy at some time, loading cars, cutting trees, and some helping the rebels to load ashes, cannons, rolling wood and stones to the top of the city. Waiting for the things to guard the city, some demolished the houses they lived in, and unloaded the sandalwood, bricks and tiles and put them on the carts and horses.

Yang Yong frowned and asked Gong Yechang and Du Yi: "What's going on? Who told you to do this?"

The two hurriedly bowed and said: "Master, we really don't know."

At this time, two commanders came over and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Master, I am going to report this matter to you. These common people are all spontaneous. They know that the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty have come again, and they are grateful for the kindness of the lord." Willing to do it, we didn't force them."

Yang Yong almost cried when he heard his nose sore, the people are so kind, if you do something good for them, they will remember you and repay you twice.It seems that losing nothing is not terrible, as long as the hearts of the people are there, everything is there, and soldiers and people are the foundation of victory!

Then the order was issued: "You must register well, each household, how many things are used, how many houses are damaged, and after this battle is over, the compensation will be doubled."

"No!" The two commanders saluted and ran away.

Yang Yong climbed up to the south city and looked around. Four or five miles outside the city were all the company camps of Sui soldiers and Sui generals. The tents were next to each other, and they couldn't see the edge at a glance. Antlers and branches could be seen faintly at the gate of the camp. .There are still many soldiers and generals in the camp who are busy with something. Since they can't see clearly from a distance, these soldiers and generals look as big as toy figures.

Looking at these, Yang Yong thought to himself, this formation is not small, and there are three groups of soldiers and horses. If all of them arrive, the total strength may be [-] to [-], which is almost ten times that of our troops. Dingshui, otherwise they will attack by force, this small county of Jincheng is really hard to defend.

I don't know how the Xue family father and son are doing now. Haven't Tongzhou soldiers received any news yet?Probably not, it's been a long time, Xue's father and son must have raised troops, and spread the news of "taking Tongzhou". This place is only a hundred miles away from Dingshui, and Niushan must have been rewarded, but how could he Are you indifferent?This guy is awesome!

At this time, the sun was setting, turning from white to red, and the day was coming to an end.At this time, someone came to report that the other three troops had already arrived outside the city, and Yang Yong was shocked.

"My lord, look, there is movement in the camp!" Little Du Yi called out behind Yang Yong.

Yang Yong saw that he was right. In the Sui camp in the distance, Sui soldiers and Sui generals rushed out like an overwhelming force. In front were armored cavalry, carrying ladders, and chariots, and behind were infantry, holding knives, guns, bows and arrows. Come, this is not a withdrawal, but a siege!

In the blink of an eye, these Sui soldiers and Sui generals rushed across the moat shouting, and rushed towards the city wall like a stormy sea.

Seeing his blood boiling, Yang Yong stood at the top of the city and ordered loudly: "Brothers, hold on to the city, our reinforcements will arrive soon! Xue's father and son have already raised troops from Dingshui with thousands of soldiers and horses, Sui soldiers and Sui generals will soon You will be attacked from the front and back, and you will be finished soon!"

After several victories in a row, the morale of the rebel army was booming. Yang Yong's words gave them reassurance.

Sui soldiers and Sui generals roared and rushed to the bottom of the city, erected ladders and began to climb the city, just halfway up, some had just climbed the ladder, and some had just rushed to the bottom of the city, at this time they were hit head-on, ambushes surrounded the city, shouting The sound of killing shook the sky, bows and arrows, stones, and rolling logs poured down on the attacking Sui soldiers and Sui generals like raindrops.

Immediately, there were countless people who were hit by arrows, those who were hit by stones and rolling logs, and those who fell from the ladder midair into the city.

At this time, the city seems to have become a huge "corpse manufacturing machine". When the machine starts, "products" are manufactured one after another, lying horizontally and vertically, in all shapes and sizes.

The soldiers of the Sui Dynasty and the generals of the Sui Dynasty saw that they couldn't go away, and wow, they receded like the sea at ebb tide.

Sitting on his horse, Niu Cishi hid at the back of the Sui generals who were attacking the city, and when he saw it, he was furious, "Come on! Go again! You must take Jincheng before dark, and those who retreat will be killed without mercy!"

The generals of the Sui soldiers rushed up again screaming like a rising tide, and the troops from the other three counties also rushed up desperately.

Yang Yong, Gongye Chang, and Du Yi were still standing at the top of the city, directing the soldiers to shoot arrows, throw stones, and release rolling logs. Some gaps were opened, and Sui soldiers and Sui generals rushed to the top of the city. The rebels were extremely brave, and rushed to beat him with swords and guns. Some fell to the city holding the Sui soldiers who had just rushed up. The scene was quite tragic.

In this way, they attacked several times in a row, and the battle continued until Dinggengtian, but the Sui soldiers failed to attack, and finally dropped countless corpses, and retreated.

Yang Yong, Gongye Chang, and Du Yi always stood on the front line of the city and fought together with the volunteers defending the city. The brothers carried them down to bandage and treat the city. The key is to strengthen combat readiness to prevent Sui soldiers and Sui generals from attacking the city again.

Many ordinary people hadn't rested yet, and they were still helping the rebels transport rolling wood and stones to the top of the city.When people are united, Mount Tai moves.Soon, the rolling logs, stones, bricks and tiles on the top of the city piled up into hills again.

The Sui soldiers did not come to attack the city again, Yang Yong ordered the rebels to rest where they were, and counted the number of people, and soon the number of casualties was reported. After more than half an hour of fighting, the rebels lost nearly 500 people, and there were a total of [-] soldiers in the city. Ma, there are still [-] people left, and the losses in this battle are quite heavy.

If Sui soldiers come to attack the city again, the consequences will be worrisome.But Yang Yong also knew that the outside must be completely surrounded, and now he can only wait for help, waiting for the news of Xue's father and son.

Taking advantage of this gap, Yang Yong gathered the generals above the centurion level. Yang Yong publicly stated that he would advance and retreat with the rebel brothers and the people in the city, and live and die with this small city. These soldiers were deeply moved, and their morale remained undiminished.

At this time, someone came to report that one-third of the houses in the city had been demolished, and almost all the trees had been felled. The defense tonight should be enough, but tomorrow's battle will be difficult. After all, these things in the city limited.

Yang Yong frowned, demolishing houses to fend off the enemy is not an option, in such a cold weather, it's freezing outside, let the old people sleep on the street, it's no wonder they don't freeze to death!So they decisively issued an order to stop the demolition of houses, even if the people voluntarily let them be demolished. The people who have nowhere to live let them squeeze in the houses with houses first. There must be ordinary people sleeping in the open.

After the order was passed down, the leaders of these rebels went to carry it out in tears, because they had never seen a leader who cared about the people like Yang Yong. The soldiers they had seen would only kill and treat the people like Insignificant, in comparison, Yang Yong is the one who truly loves the people like a son.

Seeing that the Sui soldiers retreated to the camp and there was no sign of attacking the city in a short period of time, Yang Yong ordered some soldiers to rest, and some continued to defend the city, and changed shifts after two hours.

Then he took Chief Gongye, Du Yi and several commanders down to the city and returned to their camp.It was late at night, although he was very tired, but Yang Yong didn't feel sleepy at all, so he asked his subordinates to take the time to rest, and Yang Yong walked back and forth in the tent.

At this moment, Chang Gongye and Du Yi came in from the outside.

"You two brothers, why don't you go to rest, is there anything else?" Yang Yong asked the two of them to sit down.

"My lord, if you don't rest, how can we sleep? How will we defend the city tomorrow?" Chief Gongye asked worriedly.

Yang Yong smiled wryly: "I'm thinking about this question. It turns out that these Sui soldiers and Sui generals are not like those in film and television novels, they are very stubborn and very powerful!"

"My lord, what did you say?" The two blinked their eyes, not quite understanding.

Yang Yong quickly changed his words and said: "Oh, I mean, these bastards are very powerful! They are not afraid of death, and they are desperately attacking the city. The enemy is outnumbered, and our soldiers and supplies are insufficient. If this continues, we can defend the city. How long? Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow... I don't know where Xue's father and son are now, and whether they succeeded."

"My lord is not worried. Otherwise, we will keep you and go to camp overnight." Du Yi saluted.

Yang Yong shook his head. Although this city is small, we did not come easily. We can escape if we break into the camp, but this city will be finished. I am afraid that after these tiger and wolf soldiers enter the city, the common people will have to suffer, and if not, they will massacre the city. do it.

Chang Gongye interjected: "Brother wants the lord to abandon the people and leave. I'm afraid the lord can't do it. The lord is not willing to tear down a private house. He is afraid that the people will be frozen and resettled quickly..."

"There's a solution!" Yang Yong interrupted Gongye Zhang when he heard the word "suffering cold", his eyes lit up, and he took it into his heart!
