Yun Ye felt that he had been humiliated all over by life. The Koreans! The arrows were very powerful. Sometimes it was like rain. When he pulled down his visor, the arrows jingled on the shield. Sometimes they were held up against the shield.
One or two of the soldiers would be taken away by the Eight Bull Crossbows. Yun Ye, who was very worried about being injured in the past, couldn't look back now. All he could think about was relying on the existing strength to capture Anshi City, maybe he could be defeated.
Li Chengqian stepped up slowly, so as not to sink too deeply.
After receiving a thousand kilograms of gunpowder from Li Er, all he had to do now was to dig these two trenches in front of the city. Unlike the trenches dug by Li Er and the others, Yun Ye was digging the trenches while covering them. To be honest, he just wanted to take advantage of it.
These two covered trenches approached Anshi City. After the gunpowder was finally placed and lit, this section of Anshi City's wall should no longer exist.
Instead of lying in the tent and worrying, it is better to do something practical, whether it is useful or not, so that you can feel at ease. It will be a matter of time to break through Anshi City. The Korean reinforcements went back halfway. No matter how large the number is, it will not be possible.
I can't stand it anymore, I always hit dogs with meat buns like this.
The hard day is over. The two trenches have advanced more than a hundred meters. Tomorrow's battle situation will be even more dangerous, because the projection range of the Korean trebuchet is within the excavation road tomorrow.
As usual, he went to Li Er's big tent and clicked Mao, reported his achievements today, and made predictions about his work tomorrow. Li Ji squinted his eyes and remained silent, while Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth.
Niu Jinda's fist kept tightening, and Zhang Shigui kept raising his thumb to praise Yun Ye's whimsy. Only Li Er looked at Yun Ye who was covered in mud in a playful way. He didn't know if it was sad or sad.
Angry, in short, his expression was very complicated.
After reporting on his work, Yun Ye returned to the tent and threw himself on the bed. He was ready to go to bed without even taking off his clothes and armor. Sleepiness came over him like a tide. Apart from wanting to sleep, there was nothing else in his mind. It felt so good.
, Yun Ye muttered before going to sleep.
Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda looked at the exhausted Yun Ye and didn't know what to say. Niu Jinda thought for a long time before saying to Cheng Yaojin: "Let him do what he wants. After all, this is a good idea. Even if your Majesty plans
If you fail, you can’t blame him. It’s okay to kill the enemy for the country!”
Liu Jinbao spent a lot of effort to remove the clothes and armor from the Marquis. During the process, Yun Ye was still sleeping soundly.
At dawn the next day, Yun Ye woke up, ate a large piece of Guokui, drank a bowl of porridge, put on his armor and came to the city of Anshi. Last night, Yang Wanchun sent down some men who dared to die from the city to destroy it.
After he fell into the ditch, he was shot one by one by the crossbowmen arranged by Yun Ye, and there was no further movement from him.
The calmer it is, the more violent today's attack will be. Yun Ye looked at the wood Lai Chuanfeng found for the roof, shook his head and said, "It's too thin and will be penetrated by flying stones. The cart we brought here
Let's tear it down and add another layer underneath to make it safer so we can avoid killing anyone."
When the trench was embedded for more than thirty meters, the expected flying rocks finally arrived, but the accuracy was so poor that they could not accurately throw the boulders over the trapezoidal trench that was less than half a meter wide.
Even though he knew that he was relatively safe, the loud sound of the boulders falling to the ground was still so heart-stirring. The stones thrown by the Koreans were already the foundations used when building houses. Some of the stones looked very smooth, and some even had exquisite textures.
Hua Wen, they ran out of stones and started to demolish the house.
Some stones will fall right on the trench. After all, the wood is a bit fragile and cannot stop these flying stones, so casualties are inevitable.
Yun Ye mobilized the water dragon team and took advantage of the time when the Koreans on the top of the city wall were suppressed by the arrow rain to spray kerosene on the top of the city. When a rocket passed over, the top of the city became a sea of fire. Many Koreans who were covered with fire were miserable.
Shouting, he jumped down from the top of the city and fell heavily into the mud. The trebuchet on the top of the city also ignited a blazing fire.
The speed of digging was accelerating, and for some reason, the Koreans actually built the city on a piece of soft sand. When Yun Ye dug the trench through the horizontal trench dug by the Koreans, he finally knew the answer.
There is actually an abundant water source under this damn city wall, and the place where the city wall was built is a piece of stone land. Fortunately, it is the dry season in early spring, and there is not much underground water. As long as Yun Ye's trenches are not dug deeper,
, he was still able to survive. To be on the safe side, Yun Ye dug a deeper drainage ditch between the two trenches.
Although Yun Ye really wanted to dig all night, it was simply impossible to carry out such work in the cold night. People covered in mud and water would freeze to death from the snow and rain on their heads.
Xue Rengui was lying quietly not far from the city wall wearing a white cloth soaked in mud. Yun Ye had told him long ago that if you want to achieve extraordinary achievements, you must do extraordinary things.
Even though he was wearing leather clothes and a layer of oilcloth outside so that mud and water could not get in, he still felt like he was freezing to death after being motionless for a long time.
He put his hands in his arms. No matter how cold his whole body was, he still had to be flexible and his hands could not freeze. A powerfully modified crossbow was carried on his back. Xue Rengui took advantage of the dim sky to approach the city wall inch by inch.
Sniping and killing Yang Wanchun was his only mission.
There were many corpses under the city wall, all of them Koreans. Two of them were not dead yet, making their last weak moans in the muddy water.
They were blocking Xue Rengui's path and wanted to die for a long time. However, the Korean soldiers who had been unable to die suddenly felt a warm hand on their necks. Before they could understand what was going on, the warm hand was twisted.
on his neck.
This location was excellent, with a wide field of vision and a suitable distance. Xue Rengui knew his abilities. As long as Yang Wanchun appeared here, he was 90% sure to kill Yang Wanchun with an arrow.
Eight hours ago, Xue Rengui had the most delicious meal in his life. Marquis Yun cooked him a large pot of noodles, plus half a roasted golden lamb.
The noodles were really delicious. Marquis Yun treated himself to dry ones, mixed with spicy sauce, and diced pork. The most appetizing thing was that there were a few green vegetables. Yes, they were definitely fresh green vegetables, not those that smelled of mold.
Tasty dried vegetables.
With this meal as a foundation, Xue Rengui felt that it was right for him to suffer a little at this time. The suffering he suffered when he was a child was not enough? Not when he was freezing? Now that he has complete equipment and sharp weapons, he can kill the enemy.
It should be, not to mention that as long as he kills Yang Wanchun, he will have a mansion in the capital. This is what Marquis Yun personally promised. When the time comes, Yingchun mother and son will be brought to the capital, and they can enjoy a few years of happiness.
He quietly pulled out a flexible reed pipe from his arms, took a small sip, and introduced the fragrant wine into his mouth. Xue Rengui almost wanted to moan in comfort. The Yunhou family's wine was indeed well-deserved.
After only two sips, Xue Rengui suppressed his salivation and stuffed the reed pipe back. If he wanted to get through the night, he had to save money. Since his body couldn't move, he could only rely on strong alcohol to stimulate the body's heat. This was what Marquis Yun said.
Yes, he said that alcohol cannot actually keep out the cold. It can just deceive people's feelings and make them feel that your body is getting hot. If you really use strong alcohol as a way to keep out the cold, you will only die faster, so it is not a last resort.
, should not be used lightly.
What a knowledgeable person says is always correct, and the Marquis would not deliberately make up lies to deceive himself because he was afraid that he would drink secretly. Since wine can only be used to refresh himself, he would never drink more.
There were rustling sounds from the top of the city. Needless to say, the Koreans wanted to come down from the city to destroy the trench. Xue Rengui curled up his body in a muddy puddle and remained still, but his body became lower and lower.
. The defensive brothers on the opposite side are about to release arrows.
Sure enough, a bright fireball was projected by the trebuchet, and the dead soldiers who had just climbed off the city wall were unable to hide. A dense crossbow arrow was fired over, and the Korean dead soldiers carrying earth bags and kerosene were shot one by one.
Killed under the city, they didn't even touch the edge of the ditch.
A sad voice came from the city wall, speaking Korean dialect. Xue Rengui could not understand the Korean dialect, but he heard clearly what a person next to him said to dissuade him. The first two syllables of this sentence were:
Who is Yang Wanchun with the word "city lord"? It's a pity that he is hiding behind the city wall and can't see him. Although he can fire arrows according to the direction of the sound, the accuracy is too poor. If it fails, the Marquis' plan
will fail.
There will definitely be a better opportunity, Xue Rengui whispered to himself, and lowered his slightly raised head, waiting wholeheartedly for the arrival of dawn. Yang Wanchun will definitely appear by then, because Marquis Yun said so.
.
The freezing rain in Anshi City seemed to never end. At dawn, a cold fog arose, rolling across the ground like a ghost flying through the clouds. It seemed both heavy and light. The iron-gray thick fog was very...
It soon dissipated into mist under the erosion of rain.
A deep horn sound sounded again in Datang's camp, and the sound of war horses trampling through the muddy ground came intensively. The majestic knights wearing iron armor, wearing cloaks, and visors on their faces emerged from the mist one by one.
They got out and formed an array on the flat ground from a distance.
Yun Ye and his soldiers began to dig the last section of the trench. This time Yun Ye was more prepared. He stacked up huge iron shields and fixed them on top of the trench. Even if a huge rock fell from the city head, it would not be harmed.
People in the ditch.
When the hoe burst out sparks on a piece of bluestone, there was a burst of joy in the trench. Finally, the root of the city wall was dug. It only took a while to dig in and the gunpowder could be placed. The soldiers of the Lingnan Marine Corps expressed their gratitude to the commander-in-chief.
I never doubt that those people who didn't blow up the city wall before were because they were incompetent and didn't know how to use gunpowder. Gunpowder was invented by the Marshal. Who in the world knows how to use gunpowder better than the Marshal.
