Chapter two hundred and sixty sixth misfortune and good fortune
There are many figures "wearing ordinary clothes and looking like ordinary rebels", flying over the walls and climbing up like apes...
There are also countless birds, swarms of insects, etc., plundering from the rebel camp and flying towards the Eastern Capital!
"When, when, when..."
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Such an abnormal situation immediately attracted the attention of many Sui army commanders. Many commanders realized that something was wrong, and some guessed the enemy's intentions, and they all yelled at their luck.
The clear and melodious sound of the golden gong resounded through the air, reaching dozens of miles away, and could be vaguely heard even in Luoyang City.
However, no one had much reaction.
Aren't the enemy troops attacking the city? Why are they still ringing the warning gong? Is the offensive very fierce?
"Quickly report to Lord Wu of Wu Kingdom and Lord Li of Tang Kingdom to quickly dispatch elite soldiers and worshipers (referring to the recruited martial arts people) to support. The enemy has sent out elite soldiers who are strong in the Qi Refining Realm!"
Similar military orders came out from all over the east city wall. Many scouts traveled through the city, but no one could be found to report them.
At this time, the Sui army was guarding the city and there were quite a few of them. However, they were not elite soldiers or strong men, just ordinary soldiers.
These people mixed in with the ordinary rebels and wearing ordinary clothes are obviously Qi Refining Realm experts and above, otherwise it would be difficult for them to fly over the walls.
Li Yuanji, son of Duke Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, had visited the city wall to pay attention before. Seeing that the enemy only deployed ordinary troops and the situation was very good, he left to continue to pay attention to the situation underground.
After all, Li Yuanji's father, eldest brother, second brother, family elders, etc. are all underground. If anything goes wrong, they need to be coordinated and ready to support at any time.
Now that we have received information about the changes in the battlefield, we can only hastily recruit manpower, but it will take a certain amount of time.
"Rumble..."
The Sui troops guarding the city were just ordinary soldiers, but they still carried out their duties like rolling logs, boulders, boiling oil, etc. and smashed them down to prevent the enemy troops from climbing the wall. Many people bent their bows and shot arrows with sharp arrows whistling.
Various items rained down from the wall, causing people who climbed over the walls to fall like dumplings. If they fell, they would almost die, resulting in heavy casualties.
However, most of the strong men who climbed over the walls could easily avoid various ordinary attacks such as rolling logs, boulders, and sharp arrows.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
At this time, the originally slow catapults, giant ballistas, etc. outside the city began to show their power.
Huge boulders roared like meteorites falling from the sky, hitting the wall with such amazing power that even the God Refining Ancestor might not dare to hit it head-on.
The huge boulder hit the city wall, making a roaring sound, and the rubble was bloody; the boulder hit the top of the wall, making a wailing sound, and the flesh and blood were bloody.
Huge crossbows pierced through the air, piercing the air like huge nails. They were constantly nailed to the city wall, becoming a ladder for those strong men who climbed up the wall, greatly increasing their climbing speed!
"Pah, pah..."
The dense flapping sound of wings resounded over the east city wall. Countless birds looked like dark clouds pressing over the city, but they did not fly into Luoyang City. Instead, they flew directly above the city wall, and one after another they jumped down and faced each other.
The Sui troops on the wall started a massacre.
There are many ancestors of the God Refiners among them, there are more than a hundred of them, and they are invincible on the wall at this time.
It is true that individual God Refining Ancestors cannot affect the overall situation, but can only affect some areas. When more than a hundred people gather together, the impact will be great.
Some of the high priests used Gu magic, summoned wind and thunder, controlled flames, or used all kinds of curses, chaos, weakening and other barbaric techniques.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."
The buzzing sound of insect swarms lingered around the battlefield, and patches of black mist-like worms and swarms crossed the sky and kept rushing towards the wall. The Sui army on the wall was in a hurry and exhausted, and they couldn't care less.
Snipe the enemy on the wall.
"The King of Yue has issued an oral order, ordering all forces and families to send guards, retainers, worshippers, ancestors, etc. to fully assist in the defense of the East City!"
As soon as Fan Zigai arrived at the east city wall, the enemy's powerful troops broke out. Fan Zigai was shocked, angry, and anxious. He even secretly sighed at his bad luck. He then shouted an order and quickly added:
"Tell them that if Dongcheng is lost if they don't use all their strength, they will be charged with collaborating with the enemy. They will no longer have a foothold in Dongdu! This is my guarantee!"
Many scouts solemnly accepted the order and quickly ran away, heading to various factions and families to deliver the order.
Today, in Luoyang, the eastern capital, there are more than 300 people in the God Refining Realm and tens of thousands of Qi Refining Realms who were temporarily recruited by the imperial court. However, the number of God Refining Realm and Qi Refining Realm people scattered everywhere is much smaller than those recruited by the imperial court.
There are only a lot more people. As long as they are willing to contribute, the east city wall should be able to hold up until Wu Guogong, Tang Guogong, Li Eunuch and others return!
"The King of Yue has issued an oral order to all forces, families, and heroes. The Eastern Capital is in danger. He calls on all heroes and righteous men to defend the Eastern City. Military achievements will be counted five times, and casualties will be counted ten times. This will injure future generations of tribesmen!"
Fan Zigai's mind changed dramatically, and he loudly ordered again, and added: "Let announcements be posted in every city and street. Those who kill outstanding enemies will be awarded honors such as righteous men, warriors, heroes, etc. by the imperial court. Those with outstanding achievements will be granted the title of civil princes by the imperial court."
, grant various titles!"
"grown ups?!"
Fan Zigai's entourage was surprised and nervous and reminded him that the Minister of Civil Affairs was not qualified to make such an order without permission.
"Go quickly!"
Fan Zigai shouted angrily and let the second wave of scouts run away again to ask for help from Luoyang City.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
At this time, the strong rebels had already climbed onto the wall and launched various violent attacks.
Among them, the most conspicuous are the barbarian warriors who are unusually tall and several sizes larger than ordinary people. They look like bulldozers and are rampaging. They mainly use heavy weapons such as sticks, sticks, hammers, axes, etc. They are extremely ferocious and ferocious.
These are the barbarians, the barbarians who claim to be the darlings of heaven and earth!
The vast majority of barbarians are naturally stronger than humans in some physical aspect, such as speed, strength, defense, life, etc.
As soon as ordinary barbarians are born, they are comparable to human beings who have practiced special skills. They are as good as human geniuses. This is the advantage of barbarians.
For a moment, the east city wall roared and wailed harshly.
The bright red and ferocious blood spread like mist and spread like the tide.
Originally, the enemy troops outside the east city wall were falling like rain. Now it was the other way around. The Sui troops defending the city were constantly being blasted or forced out of the wall, and falling out of the inner wall like rain. If they fell from such a height, they would be dead.
"The whole army listened to the order, aimed at the black hole in the corner, and threw down the huge rocks, rolling logs, etc.!"
There was an explosion in the air, and loud shouts echoed from the east city wall.
The strong rebels who had climbed up to the top of the wall stopped their killing one after another, carried the boulders, rolling logs, etc. that had been laboriously transported up the wall by the Sui army, and swarmed them down the top of the wall...in the direction of the inner wall.
At this time, the stone stairs toward the inner wall were crowded with people, and there were also many troops and martyrs crowded at the foot of the wall. Many of them were troops and strong men guarding various underground entrances.
Now, huge rocks, rolling logs, etc. were smashed down from the wall. Countless people died tragically and a layer of flesh and blood was piled up at the corner of the inner city wall.
What made Fan Zigai and the garrison generals even more desperate was that many of those boulders, rolling logs, etc., fell into the underground entrance...
The enemy's intention is very obvious, to block the underground passage so that the underground Sui monks and strong men cannot come out. At least it can delay time so that the enemy can completely capture the east city wall.
Once the east city wall is lost, the rebels can follow the city wall to attack the walls in other directions. This can save them the tragic losses in siege battles!
Blessings are caused by misfortunes, and misfortunes are caused by blessings.
Killing everyone underground without breaking all kinds of ancient restrictions. Wu Xin, Li Yuan and others, who easily snatched the treasures of the barbarians and rebels, made a fortune, but how could they have expected the situation in front of them?!
It's a blessing in disguise, but it's not a blessing!
He was killed underground and fled in embarrassment. Not only did he lose countless valuable treasures, inheritances, exercises, etc., but he also killed countless close confidants Yang Xuangan, Mandi and others. However, he captured the Tiandu city wall at a very small cost and saved a lot of money.
Countless siege casualties.
…
Ground.
Wu Xin and others retreated into the underground passage in embarrassment. The enemy did not take the opportunity to pursue them, and even the enemy monks did not pursue them into the passage.
Since there were no pursuers and they were very brave, Wu Xin and others were not in a hurry to evacuate, so they stopped at the underground exit passage to discuss countermeasures.
"This road must be sealed, otherwise the enemy may enter the city along the passage at any time!"
Li Yuan, who arrived not long after, was the first to make suggestions.
"How to seal it?" Wu Xin asked angrily.
Wu Xin had previously sent orders to the Dongdu Blacksmith Shop to melt the iron juice and prepare to seal the passage with molten iron, but it could not be done in a short time.
In addition, there is no rock or ore layer near the entrance of the passage. It is useless to seal it with molten iron. The enemy can dig holes in another direction.
Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, then looked at the passage mountain and suggested: "The geology here is relatively loose, let's collapse it first, and then safely seal all the internal passages!"
"It's up to you to execute it and get it done as soon as possible! As expected, the enemy will soon divert Luoshui, Mother River and other rivers and water irrigation channels. It will be even more difficult to block them by then!"
Wu Xin couldn't wait to order and said, turned around and left without giving Li Yuan a chance to refuse!
Li Yuan hesitated to speak, but finally did not refute.
There is no way, the official level is overwhelming, but Wu Guogong is staying in Dongdu, and he is also his top boss and promoter. If he doesn't do something, how can he let Wu Guogong do it himself?!
In addition, Li Yuan has already collected more than a dozen priceless treasures in his arms. If he can't get more, it doesn't matter!
Li Yuan and dozens of great monks were left behind to guard and collapse the vicinity of the passage. Wu Xin took the Wufu priests and others and quickly walked back, collecting various treasures along the way and making a fortune in silence.
With the Wu Mansion enshrined in the front and back, preventing people from getting close, it would be difficult for other great monks to notice Wu Xin's strangeness.
Collecting along the road, except for the barbarian boys and girls and three barbarian old men who took away five weakened packages, all other people's packages were left behind, including the packages of the Barbarian Emperor, Yang Xuangan and Li Mi.
Others don't have treasures to store, so they can only pick and choose, and they can't take much. Wu Xin doesn't have such restrictions, he can take everything, not to mention gold, silver, jewelry, magic weapons, etc. It's just a clay pot, and it's okay to take it out.
Antiques, valuable!
The harvest from this trip alone is enough to support a million-strong army for several years. There is no need for Wu Xin to go around and plunder, and everyone in the world will be offended!
It’s time to start establishing a good image and be a good person!
Wu Xin was serious about thinking about future strategies. It was time to change the world's impression of Duke Wu, otherwise it would not be conducive to competing in the world!
"Report..."
When Wu Xin was overjoyed and excitedly collecting treasures and treasures from all over the place, a figure came rushing towards him as fast as a whirlwind, and it turned out to be the new Lotus Shadow Guard.
"Report to Duke Wu! The King of Yue has issued a decree that the enemy is attacking the city. Please return to Duke Wu to take charge of the overall situation as soon as possible!"
