Chapter 305
With the sound of rapid footsteps, Li Yi, the general responsible for guarding the North City Gate, arrived at TXT Download. Seeing a general on the top of the city fully armed facing a surrendered civilian from his own side, he didn't understand what was going on. He frowned and shouted, "Who can tell me what happened here? Are you here?" What to do?”
Seeing Li Yi, the general's soaring arrogance immediately dropped by half. Although he and Li Yi were not in the same corps, Li Yi's rank was one level higher than his, and he did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of Li Yi. At this time, the soldiers surrounding Peng rushed to Li Yi and told him what had happened.
Hearing that Tang Yin had knocked down that general, Li Yi was also shocked. In the early Tang Dynasty, a man who did not have any spiritual skills among the common people could knock down a general who was in the realm of transformation, even if he took advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness. It’s incredible. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but release the skill of insight and looked at Tang Yin. Yes, this person did not have spiritual energy cultivation, he was just an ordinary person who couldn't be more ordinary. After looking at it, Li Yi couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
Tang Yin quickly walked up to Li Yi, saluted him, and said, "General Li, this general is so unreasonable. He came to the north of our city to recruit people, and he didn't get General Li's approval. When I refused, he If you want to kill people...General Li, did you do something wrong?"
Hearing this, Li Yi straightened up immediately and said seriously: "Tang Chu, you are right! No matter who it is, anyone who wants to use my north city gate must get my permission, Li Yi."
An ordinary citizen under his command was able to knock down a general from the east of the city. Li Yi also felt that his face was full of glory, and Tang Yin's questions also gave him enough face. How could his momentum soften in the eyes of everyone.
The general scattered the spirit armor on his body, quickly put away his sword, and then saluted Li Yi and said: "General Li, I am not the one who forcibly pulled your north gate. Now the east of the city is under attack by the Tianyuan Army. We are fiercely attacking and our troops are severely insufficient. I have no choice but to come here to find some reinforcements. I hope General Li can forgive me!"
"Humph!" Li Yi snorted and said, "When Beicheng was attacked by the Tianyuan Army for several days in a row, did you send any soldiers from the east of the city to reinforce? Now that Beicheng has finally been peaceful for a while, you are here again. Pull people, if there are casualties, who is responsible? If there are no important people, look for them wherever you like, don't come to me!"
The general's face changed slightly, and he said in a solemn voice: "General Li's words are too trivial, right?! Now we are jointly resisting the Tianyuan Army, so what's the difference between you and me?"
Hearing that his words meant to reprimand him, and in front of his subordinates, Li Yi couldn't bear it. His eyes widened and he said coldly: "I'll say it again, if you have any dissatisfaction, please If possible, just go to the county chief and file a complaint against me. However, I have to remind you that if the Tianyuan Army uses a tactic of suspicion and attacks from the east to the west, and there is an error at our north gate due to lack of manpower, you will have to bear full responsibility. !”
The general blinked and was speechless by Li Yi's high-sounding rhetoric. After being stunned for a moment, he nodded repeatedly at Li Yi, and said with a smile on his face, "Okay, okay, okay! I've learned a lesson! Farewell!" After saying that, he turned around and glared at Tang Yin. , reached out and tapped him again, and then strode away angrily.
"Hmph! What?!" Looking at the general's back, Li Yi chuckled, then he looked at Tang Yin, smiled, raised his thumb, and said: "Tang Chu, you did well this time, if you want What reward?”
Tang Yin grinned and said: "The villain does his duty without asking for rewards!"
What generals like most are subordinates who ask for nothing. Li Yi looked up and smiled and said: "It is only natural that meritorious service should be rewarded, but now is not the time to reward. When the Tianyuan army retreats in the future, I will promote you to be the captain of the army!"
"Thank you first, general!" Tang Yin smiled secretly in his heart. Waiting for tomorrow, whether Li Yi can save his life is a question!
Tang Yin was not timid because the other party was a general. He took action to beg the people under his command and even gave the other party a big somersault. This not only won the respect and love of the people, but also made other Peng soldiers regard him with special eyes and some physical strength. I was too embarrassed to ask him to do any work, so my attitude towards him became even more polite.
Tang Yin was also happy and relaxed, taking the time to rest, replenish his physical strength, and recharge his batteries for tomorrow's battle.
In the evening, Tang Yin went to the top of the city to help Sergeant Peng defend the city. Originally, the soldiers did not look for him, but he came on his own initiative. In the middle of the night, when the Peng soldiers at the top of the city were a little tired, Tang Yin took out the written strip of cloth and tied it to the arrow. Seeing that no one was paying attention to his side, he picked up the torch and stood at the top of the city. Rocking up and down.
He had night eyes, so even though it was pitch dark below the city, he could still see clearly. When he saw a vague figure moving in the darkness outside the city, Tang Yin understood that the hidden arrow personnel lurking outside the city had noticed his signal, so he immediately put down the torch. , raised the bow and arrow, pointed it outside the city, and shot an arrow with all his strength.
The arrows broke through the wind and made a whistling sound. Naturally, the Peng soldiers on the left and right heard it and turned to look at him. Because of what happened the night before yesterday, the soldiers were not surprised. There were some people among them. He joked: "Tang Chu, did you see someone outside again?"
"Yeah! I don't know if I'm dazzled again this time!" As he spoke, Tang Yin pretended to poke his head and look outside the city.
The soldiers of Peng Army shook their heads and laughed, and ignored it. Tang Yin squinted his eyes and saw that the shadow outside the city had already flashed away from the arrow he shot. He felt relieved, threw away the bow and arrow in his hand, sat on the ground, closed his eyes and rested, waiting for dawn.
He had already planned it. Tomorrow, his side would attack from all sides, but the focus of the attack would be on the west and north of the city. The west side of the city would naturally be supported by the surrendered Du Qing, and the north side would be supported by him personally, looking for an opportunity to open the city gate unexpectedly and let his army enter the city.
Nothing happened that night. The next day, just after dawn, the Tianyuan Army's attack began again. Just as he had arranged on the banner, the Tianyuan Army attacked from all sides this time. The North City, which had just been peaceful for a day, was attacked fiercely by the Tianyuan Army again. There were countless arrow arrays, boulders, and crossbows flying from outside the city. Under the fierce impact of the Thunderbolt Chariot and the Battering Ram, the entire North City Wall was shaking back and forth, as if it might collapse at any time.
On the other side, the West City was attacked equally fiercely. A large number of defenders and civilians went to the top of the city to resist the swarming Tianyuan Army.
Under the city, Du Qing looked solemn, looking up at the situation on the top of the city, and his heart was in his throat.
At this time, two lieutenants came up to him quickly, looked around, and saw no one else, so they whispered: "General, the brothers are ready, as long as you give the order, we will start immediately!"
The two lieutenants were Du Qing's loyal confidants. One of them was Liu Yuan and the other was Zhang Qing. They each commanded more than a thousand Peng troops. They had no doubts about Du Qing's plan to turn against his side in the battle. Instead, they thought it was right to do so. If they held on, it would be a matter of time before the city was broken. Instead of being killed by the Tianyuan Army, it would be better to fight to the death and turn against the Tianyuan Army.
After listening to the two, Du Qing nodded, but did not give any orders. Instead, he looked up at the top of the city and remained silent.
Liu Yuan and Zhang Qing were afraid that Du Qing would suddenly regret at this time, so they whispered to him, "General, don't wait any longer. The Tianyuan Army's offensive is coming. Let's do it!"
"No! Don't worry!" Du Qing waved his hand and said, "Let others push up the city again!"
He was also worried that too many soldiers left under the city would cause great obstacles for his side to open the city gate. Either don't do it, or you must be sure of it.
Liu and Zhang secretly swallowed their saliva, looked at each other, and then shouted at the soldiers around them, "Why are you still standing there? Push up! Don't you see that the brothers on the city can't hold on?"
Many Pengjun soldiers cursed in their hearts. Now the enemy's attack is so fierce, why don't you go to the city wall? However, Liu Yuan and Zhang Qing are Du Qing's trusted generals. The soldiers dared not disobey the two and rushed to the city.
Soon, the battle became a stalemate. From time to time, the fiercely charging Tianyuan Army climbed to the top of the city, but was immediately beaten down by the defenders on the top of the city.
Liu and Zhang were a little impatient and wanted to persuade Du Qing to take action again, but before they could speak, Du Qing had already taken out a black scarf from his armor, then covered the spiritual armor and tied the black scarf on his arm. Seeing this, Liu Yuan and Zhang Qing immediately understood that this was going to happen. They turned around and waved to their more than a thousand subordinates.
The two thousand soldiers under their command had not moved. After seeing the two waving, the soldiers took out the black cloth towels they had prepared long ago, quickly wrapped them around their arms, and then held their weapons and prepared to charge forward. While Liu Yuan and Zhang Qing covered the spiritual armor, they also looked at Du Qing. The latter's eyes suddenly widened, he raised his arm, swung it forward fiercely, and shouted: "Go!"
Following his order, Liu and Zhang seemed to be injected with hormones, screamed strangely, rushed to the city gate, and shouted loudly: "Kill!"
Wow-the commander has taken the lead, the soldiers below will not be polite, more than 2,000 Peng soldiers rushed forward.
There are still many Peng soldiers in the city gate hole holding the city gate to prevent the Tianyuan army from breaking through the city gate from outside and rushing in. They never dreamed that there would be enemies behind them, and these enemies are "their own people".
Liu Yuan and Zhang Qing were the fastest, and they rushed to the city gate hole first. The two held a spirit spear each and started to stab the soldiers who were holding the city gate frantically.
Puff, puff, puff - with the muffled sound of spears piercing armor and flesh, more than a dozen soldiers died in the blink of an eye. The other soldiers were so frightened that their faces changed drastically, and they shouted in horror: "General Liu, General Zhang, we are your own people, why are you killing your own people..."
