When the city wall collapsed, Yang Lue happened to be at the edge. He jumped up suddenly, propped himself up on the edge with one hand, and passed over this section of the collapsed city wall. []
Under the city, the crash car that had just made great achievements was also submerged. The few surviving rebels turned around and shouted at the Chinese army regardless of their disgrace.
"Wan Sheng!"
Tao Song, the general of the Central Army and the Southern Xinjiang Army's Guidelang, said coldly: "Attack the city!"
The flag waved.
"Siege the city!"
Amidst the shouts, the rebels, mostly composed of foreign races, roared in.
The rebels in front were carrying wooden ladders, looking ferocious, and running very fast.
"Fire the arrow!"
Yang Lue shouted.
Arrows rained down from the top of the city, but they were much sparser than the previous few days.
After several days of offensive and defensive battles, the defenders suffered heavy casualties.
"Bring over the oil pan."
The oil pan reached the gap created by the collapse, and a crossbow arrow was fired from below. A sergeant carrying the oil pan fell down from the arrow and rolled down the slope of the gap.
The oil pan fell to the ground, and the oil in the pan splashed violently. The soldiers around him howled miserably. Some people followed him and fell in panic. Some people stepped back until they fell into the city from the other side.
A sergeant let go of his hand covering his face and asked Yang Lue, "Mr. Yang, is my face okay?"
This sergeant has been following Yang Lue for the past few days. In his spare time, he said that he was planning to get married. His future wife was a childhood sweetheart and they had a deep friendship.
Yang slightly took a look.
On that still young face, large chunks of skin disappeared, and the remaining area looked like it had been fried, glowing with the color of cooked meat.
"fine!"
Yang slightly nodded.
The sergeant reached out and touched it.
Look down at your hands.
"ah!"
Amidst the miserable howls, the rebels arrived.
One by one, the rebels climbed up the slope of the gap.
"Fire the arrow!"
The arrows kept killing the rebels who came up, but more rebels came up.
"My name is Nima!"
The disfigured sergeant raised his knife and rushed down.
He was like an invincible warrior, charging all the way down the ramp.
Later, it was overwhelmed by the rebels.
The girl who is waiting for her sweetheart is still yearning for him to achieve military exploits at this moment. Come back and marry her!
Yang Lue watched this scene silently.
"kill!"
A rebel rushed up and stabbed Yang Lue.
Yang Lue easily avoided it and killed the rebels with a backhand sword.
That alien face made him feel a little dazed.
When he was taking care of Yang Xuan in Yuanzhou, he had dealings with those foreign races.
Although the foreign tribes in southern Xinjiang at that time were brutal and cruel, they were very respectful to the Tang Dynasty.
Since when did they dare to show their teeth at the Tang Dynasty?
Yang Lue then went to Southern Zhou Dynasty, but he couldn't understand why the world had changed so much in ten years.
"Mr. Yang."
Jin Yongyang panted and came over with a horizontal knife, "The enemy is coming."
Yang Xuan turned around and looked, more than a hundred steps away on the right, the city head had been lost.
"Take it back!"
Yang Xuan shouted: "Follow me."
Dozens of sergeants ran after him, and saw the flash of swords, indicating that the rebels were invincible.
But it stopped here and was broken through again elsewhere.
Unlike the rebels who often fight each other, the Huangzhou garrison is a local garrison with little experience. If Yang Lue hadn't been there, the city would have been defeated three days ago.
"Your Majesty, we can't hold on any longer." A general ran over with blood on his face, "Withdraw!"
"Where to retreat?"
Jin Yong asked.
The general said: "There are not many enemy troops and horses, so they can't surround us. Let's break out!"
"Where is Huangzhou City?" Jin Yong said.
The general's eyes flickered, "Look back and take it back again."
"Go, kill three people, and I will forgive your guilt!" Jin Yong pointed forward.
The general was startled, then turned around and ran away.
"Kill him!"
Jin Yong shouted, but the sergeant beside him did not move.
Jin Yong was furious and prepared to kill the man with a horizontal sword.
With just one blow, he was knocked down. The general raised the knife and smiled ferociously, "Yeah, I don't want to die, do you understand?"
"It is your duty to defend the city!" Jin Yong said angrily: "You can stand up to your majesty!"
"The mother-in-law Dute is going to destroy the city. Who can resist who?" The general waved his sword.
Jin Yong closed his eyes and heard a pop, then his face became wet and hot, and a fishy smell made him want to vomit.
He opened his eyes and found that Yang Lue had saved him.
Yang Lue said: "Let all the officials in the state who can use the horizontal sword go to the top of the city."
"good!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the enemy's attack to retreat, the officials of the state went to the top of the city.
A trembling old official also came. Yang Lue frowned, "What are you doing here? Go home!"
The old official raised his head and looked at him, "When I killed the enemy, you were not around! Why do you look down on me?"
Yang Lue said: "The old man does not rely on his muscles and bones for strength."
"Go home!" Jin Yong sighed: "What are you doing?"
The old official said: "I have received a salary from the Tang Dynasty all my life. I am approaching old age. Unexpectedly, I encountered a rebellion. It's time to spit out some of that food."
In the second wave of attacks, the old man charged at the front.
He beheaded two rebels, then had his legs cut off and fell to the ground.
One of the rebels stabbed him in the abdomen with a spear.
The old official grabbed the rebel's leg with his backhand, pulled him down with force, and shouted: "I am worthy of the Tang Dynasty!"
An iron hammer struck down, and the pale head suddenly burst open. Only one eyeball was still in its socket, looking at Yang Lue seriously.
"yes!"
Yang Lue said seriously.
When Emperor Xuande was in power, the officials of the Tang Dynasty still felt proud to serve the Tang Dynasty and the king. Where justice lies, there is no turning back.
After many years, he finally saw the iron-clad masculinity of the past again.
Comes from an old official.
He raised his head and found a group of rebels charging towards him in front and behind him.
"In the past few days, that person has been running around directing rescue operations, otherwise Huangzhou City would have been destroyed long ago."
Under the banner, a general pointed at Yang Lue on the top of the city and said to Tao Song.
"I ordered two groups of warriors to attack this man. In addition, there are two sharp archers with bows and arrows waiting for the opportunity."
"A sure kill!" Tao Song nodded, "I want his head."
The general smiled and said: "Then his head belongs to General Tao Lang."
Tao Song's cold face showed a hint of dissatisfaction, "Hurry up!"
On the top of the city, two groups of fierce soldiers were attacking Yang Lue.
"Mr. Yang."
Seeing Yang Lue surrounded in the middle, Jin Yong couldn't help but shouted in despair: "Stop it! I missed your husband!"
He Cong on the other side also saw this scene, but sighed: "I can't hide it anymore."
Boom!
A rebel flew up from the crowd.
Boom!
Then another one.
In the middle of the encirclement, rebels kept flying out, and everyone had a look of horror on their faces, as if what they were surrounding was not a human being, but a giant beast from the wild.
With a bang, several rebels flew out and bumped into their companions who had just climbed to the top of the city. They all fell down.
The sword light flashed continuously, and the rebels fell one after another.
The last rebel held a horizontal sword in his hand, trembling, and retreated step by step in panic.
The bowstring sounded, and two arrows flew.
Yang Lue waved his hand.
The two arrows flew away like flies.
"ah!"
The rebel roared, turned around and jumped down the city.
He would rather fall to death than face this monster.
"God!"
In the past few days, Jin Yong witnessed Yang Lue's command and was astonished. He was full of praise for Yang Lue's cultivation, feeling that this gentleman was like a fierce tiger.
"Is it possible that my eyesight is dazzled?"
This gentleman is no tiger, he is clearly a giant beast.
Even a tiger would have to kneel down when it encountered him.
Tao Song, who had witnessed the entire battle, looked at the general expressionlessly, "Is this your arrangement?"
…
The bloody day of fighting is over.
Yang Lue stood on the top of the city, watching the rebels retreating under the sunset.
The scout was pointing towards the city in the distance. Although his expression could not be seen clearly, he could feel the rampant aura.
"Mr. Yang."
A clerk came forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, please come."
Yang Lue turned around, and the clerk raised his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, let me have some food and drinks."
"I'll go right away."
Yang Lue nodded and immediately walked down the steps to the top of the city.
Groups of civilians came towards us, and they were going to repair the city head.
"Who is this person?"
A civilian husband saw Yang Lue with a small official around him, and his posture was calm, so he couldn't help but asked curiously.
The sergeant who led them said: "This is Mr. Yang. If he hadn't been here these days, Huangzhou City would have fallen long ago."
Zhou Xie.
In the lobby.
Jin Yong raised his glass and said with emotion: "When I heard what my husband said that day, I felt that it was just right for me. Shi Zhongtang is an ambitious bastard.
On a whim, I thought of inviting you to be a staff member. I originally thought that you were a well-educated man, but now it seems that you are not only a well-educated man, but also have outstanding cultivation. I would like to express my respect to you for this glass of wine."
Yang Lue raised his glass and drank, "It's a great honor for you."
"I don't want to ask about your origins, but I just want to ask you, can Huangzhou City be defended?" Jin Yong's eyes flashed with hope.
Yang Lue was silent for a moment, "Two days."
"That's it!" The luster in Jin Yong's eyes disappeared.
"First, the soldiers lack fighting experience, but their opponents are warriors who have fought a hundred battles, not opponents. Second, there are too few defenders."
"I also suggested increasing the number of Huangzhou garrison troops. Shi Zhongtang was still the deputy envoy of Jiedu at that time. He refused without hesitation. That bitch, I think he was planning to rebel at that time."
The two drank in silence.
"I am dragging you down. If the city is destroyed, you can leave alone." Jin Yong was a little tipsy.
"Okay!" Yang Lue nodded in agreement.
…
On the second day, the siege became more and more fierce. The rebels blossomed more and more, but the defenders struggled to hold on, with only 30% remaining.
Morale is gone.
In the afternoon, the rebels left.
Yang Lue shook his head, "Tomorrow is the last day."
Everyone can see it.
He Cong found him and asked, "When should we leave?"
Yang Lue said: "Tomorrow."
"tomorrow?"
"Yes, tomorrow."
…
On the second day, probably knowing that Huangzhou City could not be defended today, the defenders burst out with courage that even shocked Yang Lue, and actually suppressed the rebels brilliantly in the morning.
But the courage came too late.
The number of defenders was so small that the city was breached at every turn.
In the afternoon, when a rebel general led a reserve team to rush to the city, Yang Lue knew it was time to leave. He went down to the city and found Jin Yong.
"Jin Shijun, let's go!"
Yang Lue was deeply impressed by Jin Yong's decisiveness in the past few days, and he thought that it would not be a bad thing to recruit a minister for Yang Xuan.
Enemy troops continued to swarm the city, and the defenders were retreating steadily.
Jin Yong stood on the street and said with a smile: "When I first came to Huangzhou, I said that if I don't make a difference in Huangzhou, I won't leave. So even if I have a quarrel with Shi Zhongtang, I still won't leave."
I am willing to leave. Now, the ruins of Huangzhou city embarrass me. I will not leave."
Yang Lue looked at him and said, "You tried your best."
"Let's go!" Jin Yong said, "I have a request."
"You said." The rebels have already rushed down.
"Huangzhou is probably the first state that Shi Zhongtang defeated, and then the rebels will go straight to Guanzhong. Most of the states and counties along the way are slack, and they may not be able to protect themselves. Tell them that Jin Yong of Huangzhou led the army and civilians to fight bravely. I am watching underground
With them, please fight to the death for the Tang Dynasty, which has been in power for hundreds of years!"
"good!"
Jin Yong waved his hand, turned around, and pulled out the horizontal sword.
one person!
rushed towards the rebels.
The autumn wind blew his gray beard and hair.
Yang Lue and He Cong ran wildly while listening to what was going on behind them.
"I am Datang!"
Jin Yong's shouts were particularly heroic.
one person!
It's like an army.
"Wan Sheng!"
In September of the 14th year of Daqian, the rebels broke through Huangzhou City. The governor Jin Yong died in the battle!
