Murong Yanran asked very curiously. Just like ordinary people rushing to the door, Murong Qiudi sent Zhu Wuwu and Shangguan Jinhong away with a smile, and the two of them were equally polite and enthusiastic.
Murong Qiudi seemed to be thinking about something, and did not answer directly, but asked: "Where is Tian Xing?"
"Practice, hey, I practice every day, and you don't even bother to accompany me."
Murong Qiudi looked at her awkward look and said with a smile: "I have serious business, and you are just wasting your time wandering around like this! What's more, Tian Xing has already found this place all the way, and he doesn't pay enough attention to you? Besides, he used to be
You idiot, weren’t you crying and shouting that you wanted to get married?”
Murong Yanran's eyes widened, "I was fascinated by beauty. I never thought that life after marriage would be so boring."
"That's not what you said when he came back from shopping with you the day before yesterday. Things in this world always come with a price. He gave you his most beautiful years, and you have to treat him as he ages.
It’s the responsibility.”
The more Murong Yanran listened, the more uncomfortable she became, "Mom, why do you think I'm the person who always abandons me? I just complained, but I didn't do anything."
"Often some big mistakes come from small details. You are an exile and you have your own thoughts. My mother sometimes feels that it is a lot easier because of your mature thinking, but sometimes I am also very worried. I find that
You exiles have a lot of problems. Many things that my wife considers virtuous are not very important to you."
"Well, is it possible that your thinking is too old-fashioned?"
"How dare you talk back?"
By the time Murong Qiudi raised her head, Murong Yanran had already run away.
"That Yi Tianxing has a good understanding, but it's a pity that he is not a pure swordsman."
Behind Murong Qiudi, a middle-aged man in black clothes appeared. He stood upright, like a sword inserted upside down into the ground. He obviously possessed a peerless edge but took the initiative to hide in the depths of the earth.
Murong Qiudi did not look back, as if she was extremely familiar with the appearance of the middle-aged man in black, "I remember you said before that you are not a pure swordsman."
The middle-aged man in black was silent for a moment, "I used to be, but things in the world are fickle. Everyone's experience will affect their own sword intent. Sometimes even if you know it is wrong, there is nothing you can do to stop it."
Murong Qiudi asked again: "I doubt if there are any pure swordsmen in the world."
"Yes, there is one overseas and one in Great Qin, but the overseas one seems to be changing. If he cannot stop it, he will not be a pure swordsman in the future."
Murong Qiudi smiled and said: "After all these years, are you still struggling with this matter? I thought that since you were willing to teach Yanran swordsmanship, you would no longer be obsessed with it."
The middle-aged man in black shook his head, "I'm really not obsessed, I just feel a little nostalgic after seeing Yi Tianxing. By the way, what are Zhu Wuwu and Shangguan Jinhong doing?"
"It's just forcing us to take sides."
"Did they threaten you?"
"Not really. Although Zhu Mingli has great ambitions, he is not to the point where no other voices are allowed. He just wants us to express our position."
"So what are you going to do?"
Murong Qiudi smiled and said: "As I just said to Yanran, if you want to get something, you have to pay. Since Zhu Wuwu doesn't mind our coexistence, then I have to show something."
"What do you want to do? When you first founded Tianzun, you said that you would be based on the world and would not get involved in court disputes."
"Do you want to have braids?"
"...Tell me, how do you express it?"
…
In the early morning, clouds of dust arose outside Wei City, and teams of soldiers lined up in formation in the wind and sand to prepare for battle.
The guard general of Weicheng is not a very good military general. Before that, he was just a bookkeeper responsible for managing money and food. He is the type who cannot succeed in military affairs. Perhaps his only shortcoming is that he has a sense of responsibility.
compromise!
So when it was learned that the Qing troops were about to attack the city, it turned out that the guard general ran away first, and the deputy general also escaped. It was his turn to defend the huge city of Weicheng as a chief clerk.
When the general surrendered before the battle, the blow to the morale of the defenders can be imagined. In order to rekindle the soldiers' fighting spirit, he secretly asked people to get a few people from the death row to pretend to be the original generals and deputy generals, and then killed these generals who escaped before the battle.
'After the beheading, he successfully gathered a group of young men and started building fortifications.
He first strengthened the walls and cleared the fields, cutting down almost all the trees on the nearby mountains. He built more than 80 catapults alone. All kinds of wood and rolling stones were piled on the city walls, including kerosene, strong water, gold juice, etc.
There were not too many destructive things, but the smell on the city walls was so strong that the soldiers had to cover their faces with cloths to stand still.
To be honest, this kind of behavior is not only a huge waste, but also crazy. Soldiers in this world generally have internal strength through cultivation, so it is more cost-effective to use swords to carry out things like wood and rolling stones.
To be honest, the defenders of Weicheng were a little sick and rushed to seek medical treatment. However, they soon discovered that after such troubles, the people of Weicheng had stabilized their hearts!
At that time, they roughly understood that it was not only whether what you did was wrong, but it was better than doing nothing at all. As long as you kept making trouble, the people would feel that you were sincerely defending the city, and they would feel more at ease.
So the defenders went even crazier. Three days before the Qing army arrived, they blocked all the city gates in the four directions with wooden sticks, stones, and several tons of rice. Not to mention wasting it, if the people wanted to
If you want to eat, just go directly to the city gate to get it.
Such behavior is quite ridiculous, but the effect is extremely good. People can still laugh in such a high-pressure environment!
Then the sky of the entire Yu City was sealed. Countless archers and civilian hunters formed a team. They did nothing else every day. They just looked at the sky. Whenever there was a carrier pigeon flying by, no matter if it was passing by or something else, give it to him.
If it is shot down, even if the pigeon stretches its legs, it will be killed on the spot.
Not to mention, a dozen spies were actually caught after doing this. When the people saw that it was really effective, they stopped complaining.
After a long struggle, finally, now, the Qing army is outside the city. How far they can defend it depends on God's will.
"Sir...can we really hold on?"
A young boy, even his armor looked too big, and the edge of his helmet directly covered his eyes. He was frightened by the Qing army outside the city gate. The equipment on the other side was so well-equipped. Looking at the pitchfork in his hand, he felt like crying.
.
The guard rubbed the steel gun in his hand. Seeing that the mood of the soldiers around him was a bit wrong, he took a deep breath and smiled: "Now, I won't hide it from you. In fact... I, Yang Tiexin, am a famous general."
!”
((′-_-)-_-)-_-)((′-_-)-_-)-_-)((′-_-)-_-)-_-)
"What expressions do you just have? I'm serious. I have been familiar with the art of war since I was a child, and my martial arts was taught by the Ming family. You must have confidence in me. Although the Qing army seems to be powerful, they are all strong on the outside and weak on the inside at all.
Our opponent!"
"But the imperial army was defeated, and even the emperor was captured!" A middle-aged man nearby said tremblingly with fear in his eyes.
Yang Tiexin glared at this guy fiercely, and said this in front of him. If Zhu Qizhen heard this, he would be killed? "That's good, but I didn't command that battle. If it were me,
, the one who died must be Dorgon."
"Haha, you are so confident, sir! Haha!" A veteran took out a pipe and pot from his waist and lit it. At this time, veterans can still be relied upon.
Yang Tiexin frowned and hummed: "If you have the goods in your hands and the confidence in your heart, you will naturally be confident!"
In fact, Yang Tiexin consciously didn't brag too much. His elder was once under Yue Fei's command, so he could be considered a queen of a famous family. However, because Yue Fei was framed later, he was also implicated. He ran away in order not to be killed.
From the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, I am familiar with the art of war and tactics, but there is still a long way to go before applying what I have learned. As for martial arts, Yang Zaixing once personally taught him. Yang Zaixing is also famous, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a famous master. But his practice is not very good.
It's just average, otherwise I wouldn't have come to Weicheng to be the chief bookkeeper.
Woo!
The dull sound of the horn came over, and everyone immediately heightened their vigilance. The Qing army had already begun to attack.
"Do you want to throw down the wooden rolling stone?" A young man felt a little panic, and stretched out his hand to light the wood.
Yang Tiexin quickly held down, "Don't worry! Wait a moment and let out a wave of arrows!"
The Qing army outside the city did not pay much attention to the arrow rain. With a shield in hand, the power of the arrow rain would be reduced by at least 70 to 80%. Moreover, the strength of the arrow rain shot by the defenders this time seemed to be quite weak, and some were not even as strong as the previous ones.
The defenders of a city, haha, it seems that this time the siege will go smoothly.
After having this understanding, the Qing army became a little careless, and a group of heavily armored cavalry rushed towards the city gate carrying a huge ramming log.
Yang Tiexin stared and followed the collision with the wood. He was almost hitting the wood. Look...yeah!
Boom!
The dull loud noise made all the Qing soldiers stunned. The wood they hit was shattered. People and horses rolled over and crowded outside the city gate. Some horses even had bleeding mouths and noses and were shocked to death. However, even with such a powerful impact, they still couldn't do anything.
Break open the city gate.
What the hell is this door? Made of iron? Even if it's made of iron, it should collapse even if it doesn't break under such a huge force, right?
The Qing troops looked towards the city gate in confusion, only to see huge cracks that had already covered the city gate, as if the city gate was divided into a dozen parts.
Damn it, this isn’t even broken?
Some soldiers of the Qing Dynasty who did not believe in evil looked inside along the cracks. It was so dark that they could not see anything. Could it be that the door was several meters thick?
The vanguard general of the Qing army was a little distrustful, but he could not attack blindly. With a wave of his hand, he sent out a team to climb the city wall with ladders, and at the same time began to organize a new round of charge.
Yang Tiexin shouted: "Brush with kerosene, throw wood and rolling stones! Don't use throwing tools, throw them along the city wall!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately began to operate, and then waves of fire were pushed to the bottom of the city, and then it was the Qing soldiers' turn to be embarrassed.
I have said before that soldiers in this world generally cultivate their internal strength. Such simple defenses will naturally not hurt them, but they have never seen such a large number of wood and rolling stones. They have been laid under the city wall while the fire is burning.
layer.
Then the pressure came to the Qing army. The fire spread over a wide area, which made it difficult to build the ladder. If you set the ladder too far away, you will not be able to reach the city wall. And if you build it by staring at the flames
The flames of the ladder are likely to threaten the soldiers along the ladder. If the opponent pours more oil on it at this time, it will be even worse.
Well, this situation is not unprecedented, so they have countermeasures. The Qing army's ladders can be spliced to each other. As long as they are spliced high enough, they can reach the top of the city wall.
The Qing army did the same thing. Seeing the enemy running up the ladder, Yang Tiexin was disgusted and ordered the soldiers to put their shields on the edge of the city wall.
These large shields are specially made. The blacksmith has attached four iron bolts to the back, which can be firmly stuck at the crenellations of the city wall. Once stuck, it must be slowly opened with skillful force. Obviously, this kind of behavior is a bit difficult during war.
Disaster.
The Qing army didn't understand the significance of this operation at all. Adding a large shield just raised the city wall a little further. All they had to do was to go through multiple steps. Isn't it difficult?
Then... the Qing army collectively fell into disgrace!
I saw Yang Tiexin ordered people to pour kerosene on the shield, and the raging fire burned directly. Hehe, don't you want to climb over it? Let me flip it over and see!
The vanguard general of the Qing army is a little numb. What kind of opponent is this?
By the way, if they do this, wouldn't it mean that they won't be able to attack outside? How can they defend the city like this?
The soldiers of the Qing army also had this doubt. Just as the movement of climbing the ladder slowed down, they saw rolling stones being thrown out in a parabola. At that moment, what did it feel like to have the top of your head covered by stones?
It was the feeling of being suddenly startled, then wanting to laugh, and then screaming and falling to death!
First of all, they were shocked. After all, the scene of falling rocks was really shocking. Then they found that the accuracy of these rocks was extremely poor. Nearly 70% of the rocks fell into the air. Obviously, the flame shield also blocked their sight.
There is no aim!
But... there were too many rocks, and all the Qing soldiers lying on the ladder had no way to escape. They were directly smashed to death or fell to death, and even the ladder was broken.
The generals of the Qing army were so embarrassed when they saw this, what the hell is going on? Didn't the defenders of Weicheng all run away? What kind of weirdo is guarding the city now?
"charge!"
It may be a bit difficult to climb the city wall. The Qing army focused their attention on the city gate again. The city gate was almost shattered just now. They can definitely do it again.
Boom boom boom, the heavy armored cavalry launched another round of charge, carrying a bigger log than before!
Moreover, this time the heavy armored cavalry were at full firepower. Everyone's internal energy was entangled in the collision wood. Coupled with the impact force of the horses, this blow was definitely no small matter.
Boom!
The wood was shattered once again, and the heavily armored knight fell on his back and suffered a bloody head injury.
Everyone gasped. The city gate was indeed smashed, but... what was exposed inside were countless boulders and earthwork, and there were even trees mixed in. There seemed to be something behind, which they couldn't see.
This...is the inside blocked?
hiss!
The Qing army's camp was immediately heated up by two degrees, and the coolness was really sucked out.
puff!
Zuo Zhou couldn't take a sip of water and spat it out, "This guard is really a talent."
Li Yuzhu looked at the situation from a distance and was a little bit dumbfounded, "Actually, as long as there are not enough masters to defend the city, it is impossible to defend the city with this small means. But his move is very wonderful, so many things will
All the city gates are blocked. Although the masters can cross the city wall, the army cannot cross the city wall. It will take a lot of effort for them to open the city gate again."
Zuo Zhou sat down cross-legged, with a look of disgust on his face, "This guard probably knows that he can't defend for too long, so he did this. Even if the defense fails, your army will be delayed for at least two days."
You see, he is not afraid of wasting his time by hitting rocks and rolling logs. By the way, this guy won’t cut down all the surrounding mountains, right?”
Li Yuzhu thought about it and shook his head: "I don't know, we don't have spies in Weicheng."
Zuo Zhou frowned slightly, "It seems that the Qing army has not received any intelligence recently. Wait, this guard is not just playing an empty city strategy!"
"What's the meaning?"
"He is cheating Dorgon. The battle in this world is very special. The effect of masters is very great. If Dorgon rushes to the city wall at this moment, all the defenses will be a joke. Although there are so many earthworks and boulders, they will still block it.
Army, but if you clean it up hard, it will only waste more than a day. If it is a normal city defense, this is indeed the case, but now no one can see clearly the situation behind the shield, not even Dorgon dares to mess around.
"
Li Yuzhu was shocked: "No way, just playing psychological tactics in such a blunt way? What if Dorgon is a master of art and is bold?"
Zuo Zhou was disdainful, "How bold are people with high skills? The stronger they are, the more cautious they are, because they know that in this world, the strongest will have their own strong opponent. What's more, this is a war, and it's hard to say what will happen, even if it's a land ranking.
Even the masters don’t dare to mess around.”
"Real or false? The Ming Dynasty still has this kind of power?"
Zuo Zhou shrugged, "We'll see if it's true or not."
…
Dorgon and Tang Ruowang looked at each other, a little confused, but with their abilities, they certainly thought of the possibility that Zuo Zhou thought. Is it possible that there is really an ambush by a master in Yu City?
"The only master on the land list in the Ming Dynasty is Zhu Wuwu. Our spies reported that Zhu Wuwu was not in Weicheng. However... Zhu Wuwu was once the helmsman of Hulong Villa. If he was transferred from the Jianghu
It’s possible to get a master.”
Dorgon didn't really want to take action. First of all, it was a bit embarrassing. After all, serious offensive and defensive battles like this usually focus on soldiers versus generals. If the general is defeated in the end, then naturally it's up to you to fight, but
It would be a bit embarrassing for you to take the initiative to attack the soldiers when no one else took action.
For another reason, Dorgon also felt that something was wrong. Either there was a trap waiting for him behind the shield, or the opponent's guard was a two-swordsman who didn't know much but could do whatever he wanted.
Dorgon prefers the former!
Tang Ruowang understood Dorgon's concerns, thought for a while and said: "I can use the formation and listen to the sounds on their walls, and maybe I can hear some truth."
"Oh? You still have this ability?" Dorgon was a little surprised.
"This kind of formation is actually used to amplify the senses. The stronger the user's hearing, the better the effect of the formation. If you change the personal ranking level, I'm afraid you won't be able to hear the sounds on the city wall."
Dorgon nodded, "That's it, I'll also listen to what master is targeting me!"
Tang Ruowang set up the formation very quickly. It was not a very profound formation. Within two minutes, Dorgon stood in the center of the formation.
Soon, a circle of formations lit up, and a voice sounded, echoing in less than half of the camp.
'Master Yang, wouldn't it be a waste if we just close our eyes and fight outside like this?'
'Don't worry, we have dozens of trebuchets alone, and we have wiped out all the nearby mountains!'
When Dorgon and Tang Ruowang heard this, their faces were extremely awkward. The mountains were all gone. No wonder they felt that the surroundings were so desolate. They thought the environment here was bad, but it turned out to be the Ming army.
'Well, will we irritate each other if we do this? We don't have any masters!'
Huh? There is no master!
Dorgon and Tang Ruowang looked at each other, and even many soldiers and generals next to them felt embarrassed. You have nothing, and then you dare to play like this?
'What does it mean to be without a master? Am I not one? Let me tell you, I am a queen from a famous family. If Song Huizong had not been able to cultivate him, I would not have left.'
After a famous family?
Dorgon and Tang Ruowang looked at each other. This general seemed to have some background.
'My lord, why did you come to the Ming Dynasty? Why didn't you go to the Qin Dynasty? I heard that many generals from the Song Dynasty went to the Qin Dynasty to join the Yang family.'
'Of course I also want to go to Daqin, but...why do you ask so many questions? Go and move the rocks!'
The conversation is almost over. The remaining conversations are all exchanges between small soldiers. It is hard to believe that there can be so much chatting in such a fierce war? Could it be that the people behind the city wall are elites?
?
Dorgon was a little suspicious again, but he also ignored one thing. Because of the shield erected as a barrier, the Ming soldiers could not see how anxious the outside was. They just blindly operated. Just like an assembly line worker.
It seems that they only produce bullets, but they don't know what the bullet will look like when it hits a person. Naturally, this tension makes it a little less interesting.
Tang Ruowang saw that he couldn't hear anything useful anymore, so he turned off the formation, "What do you think?"
Dorgon shook his head with a stern expression, "It's hard to say. This person's surname is Yang, and he comes from the Song Dynasty. And he just hesitated to speak. He may have a special hidden secret. I suspect... he has something to do with the Yang family of Da Qin.
It matters!"
Tang Ruowang was not surprised, "Yes, it is indeed possible. Da Qin has not sent troops. Before, we thought it might be Hu Hai who made a stupid move. Now it seems that it is very likely that Da Qin's masters secretly helped Ming to defend the city."
Dorgon said coldly: "Huh, this move is insidious enough. It doesn't cost a single soldier, but it can cause us huge trouble. This Hu Hai is very insidious!"
"What about us?"
"Since the enemy is fully prepared, if I don't step on this trap, it will be equivalent to letting the opponent's arrangement go to waste. Hum, let's divert to attack Tongcheng!"
