Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters know son Mo Rufa
Shi Chaoyi said hesitantly: "But leading troops to rescue will always endanger lives. I really can't bear to let soldiers lose their lives on the battlefield."
Tian Chengsi muttered to himself, this son of a bitch must be greedy for life and afraid of death, why should he use the soldiers as a shield?
"Sir, why do you really need to rescue Youzhou City? You can lead an elite force under your command to Youzhou City at night, break into Youzhou City without the enemy paying attention, and just roar a few times under the city.
Just make a sound and let your father know that you are here to rescue Youzhou. But don't stay under the city for too long, otherwise it will not look good if your father really opens the city gate and rushes out."
"You want me to go in person?" Shi Chaoyi's eyes widened.
"Of course you have to go there in person, otherwise how can you show your loyalty and filial piety."
He walked around in circles four or five times, as if weighing the pros and cons, and finally made up his mind with a slap on his thigh: "I am determined to break through this hell."
Tian Chengsi and Shi Chaoyi first led the army to Lulong County in front of Yuguan and quickly set up camp. Then it was Shi Chaoyi's turn to be the protagonist. Tian Chengsi personally cheered him on and watched him leave.
Shi Chaoyi took his elite princelings with him and selected more than a thousand trustworthy brothers. He decided to pass through the joint between the two Li Siye military camps in the north of Youzhou City, and then rushed to the north gate to perform. Presumably in the name of Hexi
The elite level of the army will soon attack him from behind, so that he can be forced to retreat calmly.
The moon was thin and starry, and Shi Chaoyi led the army to rush through the junction of the Hexi military camp with hidden torches. Although they were careful, the sound of horse hooves still alerted the Hexi army. Immediately, two cavalry teams followed closely behind and rushed to the foot of Youzhou City. Shi Chaoyi
He immediately ordered the soldiers to shout for death, and ordered people to shout towards the top of the city: "Young Master Shi Chaoyi is leading an army to rescue Youzhou!"
It happened that Shi Siming had set an example these past few days, eating and sleeping on the tower. After hearing the shouts in the distance, he immediately put on his clothes and lay down. Outside the door, soldiers knelt down and folded their hands to report: "Your Majesty, the young master has led the army to rescue.
Youzhou is currently fighting the enemy under the city walls."
"Who told him to come here! Come, follow me to the city wall and have a look!"
Shi Siming looked down from the top of the city. He couldn't tell who was who in the pitch black. He could only see thousands of torches swaying under the city, and the shouts of killing were fierce.
Shi Siming smiled contemptuously and said: "How can we fight at night? Only those who can rush to the city wall during the day are capable."
A general asked in a low voice behind him: "Do you want to open the city gate and send someone out to welcome him in?"
Shi Siming scolded angrily: "You stupid thing! You can't tell who is who at night. If the city gate is opened and Li Siye's army is brought in, you and I will not let others serve them at the same time!"
He chuckled again and said: "If he really wanted to save Youzhou, he should choose to attack the opponent's camp at night instead of rushing straight in front of the city gate. Didn't Tian Chengsi teach him this? At the city gate
Who can show me how to show off my skills with swords and guns?"
He stood on the city wall with his hands behind his back and looked at it for a while, then turned back to the city tower and lay down in his clothes. He could vaguely hear the shouts of killing in the distance, which sounded a bit artificial. As time went by,
As time went by, these sounds gradually disappeared, and he snorted contemptuously again.
Shi Siming suddenly realized something was wrong. He sat up from the bed suddenly, put his hands on his knees and roared angrily: "This beast! He lost Jizhou!"
…
Shi Chaoyi charged and killed under the city wall for a while, and then quickly led his troops to retreat to Yuguan. Tian Chengsi was waiting outside the camp in Lulong County, and saw Shi Chaoyi running towards him with his battalion, and hurriedly stepped forward to meet him.
go.
Mr. Shi jumped off his horse with a flushed face and looked very excited. He guessed that he regarded this battle as a novel and exciting game.
"How are you doing, sir?"
"I have charged and killed dozens of rounds below the city. I can guarantee that he must have heard it from the top of the city tower. Even if he couldn't hear it, there would still be soldiers under his command to report it."
Tian Chengsi crossed his hands and asked him: "I wonder if your Majesty has opened the city gate for the young master."
"No, you can't tell who is who in the middle of the night. The enemy troops and our troops are fighting together. Who dares to open the city gate for you. I asked the soldiers to shout a few more times under the city before leading them away."
"Really?" Tian Chengsi laughed awkwardly and said to Shi Chaoyi: "In that case, sir, please follow me into the pass with the army."
They led the Yan army to the city wall and shouted to the city wall: "Open the city gate quickly and let us in."
The guard lay on the city wall, looked down, and asked loudly: "Who is coming down from the city? No one is allowed to enter the city without your Majesty's warrant!"
"Open your dog eyes and take a look, I am Shi Chaoyi! The rescue of Youzhou has failed, so we are hiding behind Yuguan for the time being, and we will open the city quickly."
"It turns out to be the young master, hurry up, open the city gate."
Shi Chaoyi finally understood why Tian Chengsi didn't go into the city himself. It turned out that he couldn't get in without him as the crown prince. Thinking that he still had such authority, he felt much better.
Once the 40,000 troops entered Yuguan, it was equivalent to reaching the border of Liaodong. The foundation of Pinglu Jiedushi was in Yingzhou City after Yuguan. Even if Youzhou City was defeated, Shi Siming still had half of his foundation.
Let him make a comeback in the Liaodong region.
Without the constraints of Jizhou City, Li Siye could confidently exert his power over Youzhou City. In order to continue to provide war resources, he ordered the Taoist workshops that produced gunpowder to be relocated and opened in Jizhou City, and recruited blacksmiths and apprentices in the city.
Massive production of artillery and shells was provided for siege purposes.
Zhongshu ordered Xu Bin to personally participate in improving the shape of the large Kongming Lantern. Up to now, it no longer resembles the Kongming Lantern. The spindle-shaped structure is made of cowhide and bamboo wood. Six leak-proof copper oil lamps are placed side by side with windshields.
, you can control the size of the flame to control the height. There is a bamboo dragonfly with a large thrust at the tail. The transmission method is no longer hand-pulled but pedaled, a bit similar to a waterwheel. There are also bamboo dragonflies on the left and right sides that control the horizontal direction, which can withstand four directions.
If the wind is within level 4, the direction cannot be controlled if it exceeds level 4. After all, human power will not be able to do it.
There are four people in the gondola, three of whom control the flight direction of the sky lantern, and one person serves as the lantern commander and bombardier. The bomb load of the sky lantern is only about one stone. After throwing this stone, you have to go down to resupply.
If the Xuanwu artillery caused psychological damage to the soldiers in the city, then the giant Kongming lanterns were a real blow. These things floated over Youzhou City every day, dropping bombs on the city's living facilities and food and grass, with violent fire and thunder.
The grease dropped made the soldiers fighting the fire exhausted.
These mines made the soldiers of the Yan army unable to guard against them. They had to hide in the brick caves on the city wall. They would be bombarded if they showed their heads. Especially when attacking the city, they not only had to resist the tide of Hexi troops climbing up the city wall.
When attacking, one must also guard against violent fire and thunder attacks overhead.
The casualties of the Yan army were becoming more and more serious. Shi Siming patrolled the city wall every day. Seeing such a shocking situation, he had the idea of retreating to Liaodong. However, he could not put forward this idea because it did not match his personality.
.
His opponent Li Siye also became more and more terrifying at this time. He attacked the city step by step without being arrogant or impetuous. The daily artillery bombardment and Kongming Lantern bombing were also very regular. Perhaps in his eyes, Youzhou City would be within his grasp sooner or later.
