Hearing Yunchu's question, Yang Jing immediately fell to the ground and cried loudly: "It was because of the confrontation between my father and Emperor Taizong that my father was framed by the powerful minister Yuan Gaisuwen and was tied to a copper pillar and cannoned to death.
I, the daughter of the Yang family, are the only one of four hundred and twenty-seven who managed to escape incognito. When my father was framed, the people in Anshi City clearly knew that my father was wrongly accused, but no one spoke up for my father."
After hearing Yang Jing's cry, Yun Chu became furious and said, "It's obviously a good speech, how could it be misunderstood by this powerful minister and ignorant king.
Don’t worry, when we march to Pyongyang, we will locate the wronged soul of your Yang family and demand justice.”
Yang Jing gritted his teeth and said: "When the general conquers Anshi, please sell the slaves of Anshi to Yang Jing..."
Yun Chu helped Yang Jing up again and said, "I won't let you down."
Wang Zhao, who was standing aside and watching, was moved to tears by Yun Chu's righteousness. He took Yang Jing's hand and said, "Brothers must help me avenge this blood feud."
Watching Yang Jing and Wang Zhao leave, Yunchu suddenly realized that this Yang Jing might be really useful. He was a very good talent and should be cherished.
Once Goguryeo was destroyed, having such a madman at hand could help him do many jobs that the Tang Dynasty would not be able to do.
Just like how Emperor Taizong cherished his father Yang Wanchun, treated him with courtesy, and then caused him to be executed by the nine tribes.
Throughout the night, war drums would sound every hour in Gaimou City, and the Mohe people on the opposite side would hurriedly get up to fight.
This was a gentle and exhausting strategy, so Yunchu naturally ignored it and covered his head with a blanket and slept until dawn.
After washing up, I went up to the top of the city and found that the Mohe people on the opposite side were cutting down trees and making siege equipment.
At the same time, smoke was billowing in Gaimu City, and iron was being smelted vigorously. Since Yang Jing obtained the promise from Yun Chu last night, he also found many iron smelting craftsmen from his own slave group to help Yun Chu's smelting work.
iron.
Thick smoke was also billowing from the top of the city, and lead water was boiling in large pots. Rolling wood, stones, ash bottles, and gold juice were all prepared.
These things were prepared overnight by Yang Jing and his slaves.
Yun Chu still hoped to continue the siege battle for a longer period of time. For this reason, Yun Chu also wrote a letter of persuasion to surrender to Qiqi Zhongxiang, hoping that he would surrender and the Tang Dynasty would not treat him badly.
I found a surrendered Mohe man to deliver the letter. Half a day later, the Mohe man came back on horseback. Everything was fine except that his head was missing, and there was a letter tied to his body.
Qiqi Zhongxiang’s letter to Yunchu is very long, starting with the Mohe tribe setting foot in Liaodong despite the wind and rain, then talking about their admiration for the Tang Dynasty, and then talking about Emperor Taizong unreasonably burying three thousand of his tribe alive in Zhuzhe Mountain
things.
He also talked about Yunchu's murder of five thousand members of his clan in Gaimou City, and said that this kind of hatred can no longer be resolved, and the only choice is blood for blood, tooth for tooth. This hatred, this hatred, will never be forgotten by the Mohe clan.
Finally, he advised Yunchu to surrender early, and promised not to kill him, and to give him the treatment of a king, so that together we can develop the Mohe clan.
After reading Qiqi Zhongxiang's letter, Wen Wen felt that Yunchu would not go to the barbarian tribe to become a so-called one-word king, so she then wrote to Qiqi Zhongxiang and told Qiqi Zhongxiang that the only way to survive was to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, otherwise, he would be
It is the end of death, annihilation of the whole family, and being shattered into pieces.
Then, another prisoner was sent to deliver this eloquent letter.
Half a day later, another headless messenger came back. Qiqi Zhongxiang might have stayed in the wild crowd for too long and had nowhere to express his extraordinary talent, so he actually wrote a reply to Wen Wen.
Then, Wen Wen and Qiqi Zhongxiang became pen pals who talked about everything. Qiqi Zhongxiang no longer chopped off the head of the messenger, but only chopped off an arm. In the end, the messenger didn't suffer much and was beheaded.
One thumb is all it takes.
Yunchu knew that this was Qiqi Zhongxiang's plan to delay the attack, but who wouldn't?
These days, due to the problem of food and fodder, even the women of the Mohe clan appeared in front of the army. The number of Mohe outside the city quickly increased to 20,000, and the entire Gaimu City was surrounded by water.
Finally, on the third day, the horns of the Mohe clan sounded again, and six tall assault vehicles appeared on the horizon, pushed by as many Mohe people as ants, slowly advancing towards Gaimou City.
With the arrows as cover, the lethality of the Tang army's arrows was reduced by more than 60%, and even if the thick rams were hit by crossbows, they would not cause much problems.
Yunchu stood on the top of the city and looked at the tall chariot approaching slowly, and said to Wen Wen: "Is the Goguryeo army coming too?"
Wen Wen shook his head and said: "The scouts can't get out. Two days ago, Pang Tongshan's army arrived nearby. If they haven't appeared at this time, it means the Goguryeo people haven't come yet."
Yun Chu said: "There is another possibility that the Goguryeo people have already arrived, and Pang Tongshan went to deal with them, leaving the Mohe people to us."
Wen Wen said: "At this time, it is urgent to go out and destroy the car. Zhong Kui and the others should be ready."
Yun Chu pointed at the Mohe cavalry behind the charging car and said: "They are on guard. If they rush out to destroy the charging car at this time, our losses will be very great. Let's see first if they can get through the trap dug by Yang Jing's men.
"
A rush car with a height almost as high as the city wall was slowly moving forward when the body of the car suddenly tilted, and the heavy rush quickly fell to one side. A dozen archers from the Mohe tribe hiding in the rush car,
They all screamed and fell from the car.
The crudely made rush cart also made a creaking sound, and a wheel made of logs suddenly broke off and became stuck in a pit without moving.
All the traps were dug within the range of the bows and arrows. The chariots fell over, and the arrows from the top of the city once again rained down on the Mohe people.
Three of the six rams were damaged, and the remaining three were crossed by the wooden bridges laid by the Mohe people despite the rain of arrows, crossing the trap area and continuing to approach the city wall.
At this time, the sounds of fighting could be heard on the other two walls of Gaimou City.
The top of the city had long been smelly. This was the special smell that comes from boiling gold juice. Yun Chu tied his face with a handkerchief and stood at the top of the city holding a horse. From time to time, arrows flew over and he waved them away.
.
Zhong Kui ran quickly on the city wall, giving orders constantly. The moment the ladder on the rush car reached the top of the city, Zhong Kui roared: "Prepare the kerosene bombs, release them!"
Countless clay pots flew out from the top of the city and accurately landed on the three rams. Immediately afterwards, countless rockets landed on the rams. In just a moment, the rams were engulfed in orange flames.
The three rams were filled with Mohe people, and the kerosene bombs thrown out by Yunchu were not ordinary kerosene bombs, but high-quality kerosene bombs from the Lei family in Jinchangfang, which specialized in lamp oil.
The oil in the clay pot cannot be used to light an oil lamp, because it will explode, and it will not quench if water is poured on it, and it will only burn more violently when exposed to water.
Yunchu called this stuff gasoline, and it took a lot of effort to transport it from Chang'an.
Now, it was finally put to use. If the Mohe man in the car who was soaked by gasoline and set on fire could still rush out, Yunchu felt that this would be an insult to something that existed across the ages like gasoline.
The ram turned into three burning torches, but the infantry behind the ram carried ladders and quickly approached the city wall.
Yunchu kept wandering around the city. If a Mohe man's head popped up, he would poke it with his horse.
However, as spoonfuls of lead water poured down, spoonfuls of golden juice poured down, and spoonfuls of boiling oil poured down, the people below the city wall screamed.
At this time, Zhong Kui and his cavalry consisting of 500 bad guys finally opened the city gate and rushed out.
At the same time, Wang Defa also led five hundred cavalry to fight out from another city gate. Under the cover of the archers at the top of the city, they cleared away the Mohe people who were attacking the city along the city wall like strong winds sweeping fallen leaves.
On a high mountain less than a mile away from Gaimou City, Li Ji stood under a pine tree with his hands behind his back, looking coldly at the hot battlefield at his feet.
Jia Chun, the imperial censor, said: "Your Excellency, Gaimou City is in danger, why do we stand by and watch?"
Li Ji turned his head and looked at Jia Chunyan and said, "Where did you see that Gaimou City is full of dangers?"
Jia Chun said: "Thieves have already entered the city."
Li Jidao said: "The thieves' retreat has been cut off by arrows. Less than a hundred people rushed to the city. They will be wiped out in less than a stick of incense."
Jia Chunyan was a messenger sent by the emperor, and he actually shouldered the responsibility of supervising the army. At this time, he saw that Yunchu was in a bitter battle in Gaimou City, and Li Ji's army had arrived but did not attack, which made him very dissatisfied.
At least, Li Ji's crime of refusing to save him even in the face of death has been formed in Jia Chunyan's mind.
Of course Li Ji knew what Jia Chunyan was thinking, but he didn't bother to explain. Here, he is the one who can decide everyone's fate.
Li Ji was unwilling to explain, but Gao Kan had to explain, saying to Jia Chun: "Winning or losing this battle has nothing to do with the overall situation. What Ying Gong cares about at this time is whether the guard Yun Chu has the talent to be a general.
If Yun Chu has the talent of a general, this little battle formation is of course not a problem. If he doesn’t, he will die, lest in the future he obviously has no ability, but he is a high-ranking official and has a good salary to command tens of thousands or dozens of people in the Tang Dynasty.
Thousands of elites went to fight against the enemy, and in the end, I, the elite of the Tang Dynasty, were killed. This is the most terrifying thing."
Jia Chunyan was a civil servant who didn't know much about battle formations, so he pointed to the raging battlefield at his feet and said, "How is Yun Chu's performance at this time?"
Gao Kan knew that this was what Jia Chunyan was asking on behalf of the emperor, so he thought for a moment and said: "Knowing the army, being fearless, and respecting orders. These three tests have been passed. I can barely lead a partial army. If I want to make a big use of it, I don't have enough firepower."
Jia Chunyan said again: "What if Yunchu wins this battle?"
Before Gao Kan could speak, Li Ji said impatiently: "The commander-in-chief's military order can only be fulfilled by killing the Mohe tribe.
It is too early to say that he has passed the three tests of knowing the army, being fearless, and respecting orders."
Seeing that the Mohe tribe's attack had lost its stamina and there were already signs of retreat, Yun Chu said to Zhong Kui, Wang Defa and Zhang Donghai who had entered the city to rest for half an hour: "Gather the whole army, let's fight out of the city.
Whether we can defeat the thief, let’s fight here.”
As Yunchu's trumpeter blew the horn, the Tang army that had been stationed on Gaimou City retreated from the city wall like a tide, and was replaced by bandits and slaves led by Yang Jing, Wang Zhao and others.
When Li Ji listened to the low horn sound coming from the top of the city, a smile appeared on his originally tense face.
He said to Jia Chunyan: "I underestimated Yun Chu, who was defending the city well, but he still dared to attack with the whole army at this time. I have to say that this young man's performance was beyond my expectation."
Jia Chunyan said in surprise: "So our army has won."
Li Ji chuckled and said: "If this young man is really as brave as the people in Chang'an City say, then the Mohe clan will be destroyed today."
Yang Wanchun is a character in the novel "Interpretation of Tang Shu" written by Xiong Damu of the Ming Dynasty, my predecessor in online writing. This book was also outstanding at the time. Many North Korean officials who came to the Ming Dynasty also read it. Later, the North Koreans always wanted to know about Anshi Guardsman
Who is it? When the king of Korea asked his courtiers at the banquet, someone answered: Yang Wanchun. Then, there was an additional generation of famous general Yang Wanchun in the history books of Korea. This name was also used on ships. I wonder when the characters in my book will become historical reality?
