"What should I do with the Grand Marshal?"
A lieutenant from Xiliuying asked Zhou Yafu anxiously... Read the latest and most complete novel
Today, as soon as the old boss entered Xiliu camp, he ordered them to prepare military supplies and prepare to attack Chang'an. The lieutenants were originally surprised and suspicious. However, Zhou Yafu had a deep affection for them, coupled with Zhou Yafu's promise, Xi'anmen Gate had been bribed, and as long as he reached the city of Chang'an, he could enter the city smoothly. The only thing he wanted to attack was Weiyang Palace.
The arsenal of Chang'an is right next to the east of Weiyang Palace, where there are ready-made siege tools to use. It takes little effort to control the Weiyang Palace, not to mention that there are three thousand elite troops from Liang Kingdom as reinforcements.
Out of trust in Zhou Yafu and the promise of winning his wife and son after the matter was completed, these lieutenants of Xiliu Camp decided to vote with Zhou Yafu. Now they are under Chang'an City. The city gate is closed tightly and they have not even put down the suspension bridge. How can this prevent them from panic? The city walls of Chang'an are high and deep. With the three or four thousand of them, they are not qualified to attack the city at all.
"General, what's wrong? Didn't you say that the city gate has been bribed. We must have opened the city gate when we came? Why did this happen?"
"Yes, General, brothers, I will sacrifice my life and follow you. You can't deceive your brothers like this."
"General, you..."
The lieutenants behind him began to clamor, and Zhou Yafu was so quarreled that he was two big shots. The soldiers looked at the quarrels with uneasy, and the morale of the army began to shake almost instantly.
In the era of cold weapons, morale, such as invisible and intangible things, can often influence the victory or defeat of the war. It can be said that Zhou Yafu has now failed. In the face of the strong Chang'an City, all the soldiers of the General and the Xiliu Camp collapsed. Even Zhou Yafu was the same. Now he was biting his back teeth and cursing Gongsun Gui's family for no good death.
What to do? Chang'an cannot get in. I took these 4,000 people to become bandits? Many of the generals and school families are in Chang'an, and now they are letting them wander around the world and become bandits. Not to mention watching them grow up, even their own fathers may not agree.
While there was a mess of porridge under the city, Zhang Tang suddenly shouted again: "Since the Taiwei led his troops to Chang'an, he has become a rebellion. All the generals under the city will take Zhou Yafu and offer it to Your Majesty. I believe that Your Majesty will remember your contributions and let your relatives go. Maybe Long Yan will be happy and will spare your lives.
Now all the city gates in Chang'an have been taken over by the Yulin Guard. It is very difficult for you to enter Chang'an. Tomorrow, the royal army of the court will arrive in Chang'an. Just relying on the generals' delusion to compete with the Northern Army, it can be said that they are a mantis armed chariot.
Zhang Tang advised all the generals to say, for your life and life schemes, and for the future plans of Soldier Xiliu. The generals still tied up Zhou Yafu and presented them to Your Majesty. Minglu has been pointed out to you. I hope you will take care of yourself."
Zhang Tang's words seemed to be like a spoonful of cold water poured into a boiling oil pan. It exploded immediately.
The soldiers and generals quickly formed two factions, one faction that Zhou Yafu did not allow anyone to touch him. The other faction wanted to give Zhou Yafu's lock to the court and ask the court to spare his life for redeeming his sins.
Yun Xiao couldn't help but look at Zhang Tang with admiration. These words were not what Yun Xiao taught him. Instead, the genius' free performance, it seemed that this guy's grasp of human nature was really accurate. The guys under the city quickly became a mess, and the two distinct factions became more and more intense. The tyrannical personality was already fucking the guy, and the whole scene seemed like a huge powder barrel. As long as there was a little spark, it could be ignited.
Yun Xiao raised his hand and called the goshawk, pointed at an older general under the city and said, "Shoot him."
The goshawk measured the distance and was 700 steps. The hit rate of even the iron-tied crossbow was not high in the entire distance. The goshawk spitted and slowly shook the iron-tied crossbow on the string and installed a crossbow arrow with a tail wing.
I dipped my fingers and spitted my mouth and tried the wind speed. I just played the craft of bows and crossbows. Now I don’t dare to lose my skills in front of everyone. If I missed the shot today, the person would lose it.
Zhang Tang looked at Yun Xiao in surprise. He didn't understand why Yun Xiao asked his subordinates to snipe the opponent with such a distance. As far as he knew, no crossbow arrow could shoot so far.
The goshawk held his breath, his body was tense, and his heartbeat was controlled at the lowest rate. His side was silent, and everyone consciously held his breath. The Eagle's crossbow has always been the leader of the Yun family, and it is always guaranteed that the reputation of the arrows is free to be released. Almost all Yunjiaxiangyong felt that the goshawk would shoot, but Zhang Tang and his men did not believe that anyone could shoot a target seven hundred steps away.
The crossbow arrow left the crossbow machine with a "swoosh". Everyone looked at the older general who was pointing to Yun Xiao. It seemed that he was from Zhou Yafu's faction. The crossbow arrow drew a perfect arc and stabbed it accurately on his chest. The veteran suddenly turned over and fell off the horse, and the two groups were stunned for a moment. They immediately roared and rushed towards the other party.
Zhang Tang and his men's mouths were all opened into O-shaped shapes. If they had not seen them with their own eyes, they would not believe that someone could shoot a person from seven hundred steps away. The soldiers of the Xiliu Camp under the city thought as they thought, and they felt that they were far enough away from the city wall. It was impossible for someone to shoot themselves, and the remaining strength of the crossbow arrows could penetrate the armor. This was clearly done by their own people.
The men and horses on both sides almost turned red by the way, and they usually used to make food and eat from a pot. At this time, they were ruthless, and the sword was bloody and fisted to the flesh.
Zhou Yafu stopped his subordinates, but both sides were already red in their eyes. Whoever stopped first would be killed first.
Yun Xiao patted Zhang Tang's shoulder with satisfaction, and things have developed to this point. It is really thanks to the words of this kid. It seems that those who can leave their names in history will have some extraordinary abilities.
"It is a blessing for villains to be able to serve the general. If the general does not dislike the villain, he is willing to follow the general and lead the horse and kick it off for the general."
Zhang Tang beat the snake and followed the stick, and he started to sell himself at the right time. Yun Xiao smiled slightly and didn't say anything, but still made a secret plan in his heart. Go back and asked Canghu to check his background. It would be okay if there was no problem and it would be fine. The sea is tolerant and the rivers are great. Yun Xiao never lets go of talents.
In just one stick of incense, there were already corpses scattered all over the world and blood flowing into a river.
Yun Xiao looked at the situation of both sides and attracted Canghu and said, "You and Gangying each brought 200 people out of the city to kill the rebels. As long as you surrender, let them put down their weapons and kneel on the edge of the moat. As for Gangying, let him take his men and hold Zhou Yafu alive. You understand the Gangying. Your Majesty wants to live. If you are killed, you can explain to Your Majesty yourself."
"promise."
"promise."
The two brothers took the order and left. Zhang Tang ordered the person behind him to put the suspension bridge and open the city gate without waiting for instructions.
Yun Xiao secretly praised the boy for his eyes and pointed to the moat outside the city: "You go to the side of the moat and accommodate the surrendered Xiliu Camp soldiers. There is no need to bind or beat them, as long as they throw down their weapons and kneel there. You can take care of them."
"promise."
Zhang Tang was overjoyed and turned into a victor who had taken prisoners of war into a victor who had received prisoners of war. This change was too big and too fast. Life experiences are just like this.
The suspension bridge was put down with a "boom", which made the ice and snow on the ground sink. The city gate creaked open, and the eagle and Canghu rushed out like two arrows. The soldiers of the Xiliu camp who were killing each other suddenly collapsed, and the faction that originally advocated surrender all went to kneel on the side of the moat as Canghu's calls.
The soldiers who were protecting Zhou Yafu were shot by the eagle and shot the soldiers on their backs. The soldiers who were originally unstable immediately disintegrated, and only more than a hundred Zhou Yafu's loyalty were still protected by his side.
Zhou Yafu's eyes were wide open, and he stared blankly at the eagle rushing towards him, dark armor, exquisite riding and shooting, and the iconic riding spear. Only one of the Han army was dressed like this.
