And maybe even Cheng Dalei who offered the idea didn't expect that, by chance, Yang Longting had indeed been injured in the war and had no heirs, otherwise he wouldn't have valued Luo Tie so much.
Therefore, whenever Yang Longting walked out of the tent and saw the soldiers whispering, you can imagine how he felt. Even if they were not talking about him, Yang Longting always felt that the other party looked at him a little strangely.
.
"Attack the city! Attack the city! Attack the city!" Yang Longzheng's murderous intention at this moment could no longer be contained.
At dawn that day, Yang Longting began to attack the city.
The army advanced forward, and four soldiers launched attacks at the same time. Trebuchets sprung up from the ground like bamboo shoots, flying rocks were like locusts, and rocks fell like rain on the city walls. Soldiers rushed up on bamboo ladders, and then fell back into corpses.
Everything is done to kill more of the same kind.
And this is just a feint.
Yang Longting had never imagined that Black Rock City could be captured in one battle. Yang Longting launched today's battle mainly to judge Xue Banchuan's deployment of troops on the four walls.
With four walls, the defense is always strong or weak. Only by clearly judging the strength and weakness of the opponent can we prescribe the right medicine.
The result was not ideal.
The number of troops Xue Banchuan can mobilize in Black Rock City is only five thousand, but this is in normal times. If he is forced into a desperate situation, such as now, then the 100,000 civilians in the city can be counted as soldiers.
Judging from today's battle, although we have the advantage in terms of strength, the Youzhou soldiers are not as good as the defenders in terms of bravery.
After all, Black Rock City is close to the Rong tribe, and they have to fight from time to time. Although they lose more and win less, they are no strangers to fighting and dying. But here in Youzhou, there has not been a large-scale war in many years.
.
Attacking the city at dawn and withdrawing troops at dusk, the city was busy busy treating the wounded, burying the dead, and repairing the damaged walls.
At night, the Youzhou soldiers' camp was also full of mourning. The injured soldiers were nestled on the quilts. Some of them lost their eyes, some lost their arms... and they let out bursts of wailing from time to time.
War has never been a romantic thing. It is indeed majestic to take the head of a general in the midst of thousands of troops, but the tens of thousands of people who died after a general succeeded are just a few figures in the history books.
In Yang Long's tent, several generals were discussing today's battle and expressing their opinions on how to break the city in the future.
Yang Long sat behind Shuai's case and remained silent.
Youzhou has not fought a major battle in thirty years. Whether his men can still fight can be seen from a battle. Those are just armies on paper, and those who are silent on weekdays but are fierce at critical moments.
Nothing can train talents better than real war.
"Lord, I just got a piece of news. It came from Qingniu Mountain?" Li Shanyan stood up and handed over a letter.
Yang Longting opened it and took a look. After reading it, he who was sitting firmly in the military tent suddenly jumped up with three zombies and five spirits soared into the sky.
He slapped his hand heavily on the commander's case and said to his general: "Whoever orders five thousand soldiers with me will bring Cheng Dalei's head to see me!"
…
Cheng Dalei had been staying in Toad Village, but his ears were listening to the movements from all directions. To ensure nothing was missed, he sent people to pick up Su Ying and Xiaodie from Luoye City, and the brothers from Hudi Lao also evacuated.
As for the Su family's property and Hudi Lao's business... In the turbulent years, survival is more important than anything else. Why do you still want to do some business and become a rich man in a stable way?
After this crisis has passed, I will have no difficulty in starting my business again. My relationship with Fang Boshan is pretty good.
Besides, Cheng Dalei now has a business that makes a fortune every day. There is no way to get rich faster than making war fortune.
After taking Su Ying over, Cheng Dalei completely let go of his hands and feet.
On this day, a team transporting grain came to Qingniu Mountain. Their leader was named Wang Sunyu.
As soon as we entered Qingniu Mountain, we heard the sound of gongs and a group of people came out of the forest.
"I opened this mountain
This tree is mine
Want to live from now on
Leave money to buy your way
The tooth is half banged
"Kill them, don't bury them."
The leader shouted.
Wang Sunyu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "General Cheng, are you kidding me? Oh, I understand. You must have stopped doing this for a long time. You just want to have fun. Haha, it's still really humorous."
This was not the first time Wang Sunyu passed by Qingniu Mountain, and it was naturally not the first time he saw Cheng Dalei. In the past, Dalei was very polite, but of course after what happened with Luo Tie, Wang Sunyu was even more polite.
"Who are you kidding? I'm robbing you, don't you understand?" Cheng Dalei carried an ax on his shoulder.
"But haven't you already surrendered to King Youzhou?"
"No more!" Cheng Dalei waved his hand.
"If you say I won't do it... I won't do it." Wang Sunyu was speechless.
"Brother Wang, I won't make it difficult for you. I want 20% of the food. This is the rule of Toad Village."
"The rules...are they still there?"
"That's right!" Xu Shenji carried a few people and put a wooden sign on the roadside: "See, this rule was not established on the first day. Now that you want to live here, we still follow the rules."
Wang Sunyu looked at the handwriting on the wooden sign, and it was indeed true that it had existed for a long time. What he couldn't understand was that Cheng Dalei dared to apply this rule to the King of Youzhou. In those words: You are not afraid of death!
Cheng Dalei's attitude was pretty good: "Brother Wang, let me tell you the truth, I'm going to rob you, which means I'm going to rob you. You keep 20% of the food, and we pretend nothing happened. You have to know,
The person who failed to transport the food last time was beheaded by the King of Youzhou."
Wang Sunyu felt a chill at the back of his head as soon as he was excited. He didn't want to hit King Youzhou's sword with his head.
In the end, Wang Sunyu abided by Cheng Dalei's rules and took away a letter from Cheng Dalei to the King of Youzhou.
This letter was passed from Li Shanyan's hand to Yang Longting's hand. With Yang Longting's heavy blow, it fluttered to the ground. Everyone in the big tent could clearly see the contents.
There were only four words in the letter: I quit!
After understanding Li Shanyan's narration, everyone in the big tent looked at each other. Cheng Dalei has always been very sensible, but when he was not sensible, he seemed so crazy. He was so crazy that he wanted to collect tolls from the King of Youzhou.
Yang Long sighed and suddenly realized that he had been fooled by Cheng Dalei.
He pretended to be crazy and talked nonsense... Although the various methods were a bit ridiculous, in disguise he made everyone despise Cheng Dalei. He made everyone think that Cheng Dalei was ridiculous rather than scary.
If we had not underestimated this person, we should have captured Toad Village long ago and eliminated the future troubles, and we would not be in the embarrassing situation of being unable to get up and down.
Now, Cheng Dalei has his own food supply, and this person must be eliminated.
The King of Youzhou sent an order to Qi Deqiang to lead 10,000 troops. He must capture Toad Stronghold within three days and bring Cheng Dalei's annoying head to him.
