Chapter 67: Siege (Central)

"Retreat, the bandits retreated."

On the city wall, a defender found the thief backing and shouted excitedly.

Everyone woke up from the killing and poked their heads out to see that the thief was indeed retreating.

"Win, we won."

A man excitedly raised his weapon in his hand and shouted loudly.

Immediately afterwards, the defenders in the East City Wall vented their joy.

...

On the other side, in the large tent of the coalition central army, a group of people sat on chairs with a pale face.

"Damn it, I'm so regretful. I've been hitting it for almost a day and haven't even touched the city wall."

On the lower side of Chen Guang's left hand, Tian Xingjun, who was behind Yu Gui, cursed his mother in front of everyone.

When everyone heard this, they opened up and cursed at Chengdu City.

"Stop quarrel, everyone talks about their own casualties?"

Chen Guang made a sound to stop everyone.

Zhang Zhong, who was in charge of Jiangqiao Gate, said first: "Let me talk first. This time, my brothers were seriously injured by about 5,000, and there were about 3,000 dead."

After Zhang Zhong finished speaking, Yu Gui, who was in charge of Qingyuan Sect, followed closely: "I have suffered less losses, and I have suffered 3,500 or more serious injuries, and 1,700 or more of the deceased."

Then Yinghui and the gate also counted it, with a total of 11,000 minor injuries and 7,000 dead.

"I didn't expect! So many people would be lost in one day."

Chen Guang once again sighed that Chengdu City is so tenacious.

At this time, Zhang Rui, who had not spoken for a long time, said, "Okay, go down and rest! Let's continue to fight tomorrow."

Everyone stood up and said goodbye to Zhang Chen and the others, and then returned to the camp.

...

At the same time, in the front yard of the Shu King's Mansion in Chengdu, Zhao Li, who was fat and big-eared, was furious to the group in front of him.

"No, this is my money, why should I give it to you?

Besides, if you want to go out of the city to attack the rebels, why do you have to pay me?

Also, I will tell you that if you cannot defend the city, I will give you a letter to the lives of your nine tribes.”

Seeing that Zhao Li disagreed, Wang Shiming bent down and begged hard: "King of Shu, as long as... as long as you take out 10% of your treasury, you will be considered a low-level job and beg you!"

Then he knelt down at Zhao Li's feet with a "thump", and gave him a big gift.

"No, if I want to take out the money, unless I die."

"ah!"

Wang Shiming's legs became weak and he collapsed on the ground.

"grown ups!"

Li Wen'an and Ye Xuan helped Wang Shiming up on the ground.

Li Wen'an held Wang Shiming's right hand in one hand, but his eyes were staring at Zhao Li.

Zhao Li was seen by him and wanted to question him.

"King of Shu, how many words do you have to say to you? Do you listen to it?" Li Wen'an said directly without saying nonsense.

Zhao Lixin wanted him to say it was okay, but it was my business whether he listened to it, so he replied to him: "Speak quickly."

"King of Shu, if you take out the money and grain, the city will definitely be kept. At that time, you will have as much money and grain as you want.

If the city is not taken out, once the city is lost, the money and food you have accumulated over the past few decades will definitely be wiped out by the rebels. Not only that, your life will be wrapped around hundreds of people in the Shu Palace and died at the hands of the thief."

Although the words are unpleasant, every word is full of good words. I wonder if Zhao Li in front of me will listen.

Zhao Li's face was unstable. After a long time, he seemed to have made a decision.

"I can take out money and food, but you promised me that I will definitely defend Chengdu City."

The three of them were overjoyed, and Wang Shiming was even more exaggerated and kept saluting Zhao Li.

"I am tired, you guys go down!"

Zhao Li, who had just cut out a piece of meat on his body, sent them to disappear from his eyes.

Then the butler of the royal palace came up and pointed his right hand outside the door: "Everyone, please!"

Seeing that everyone had achieved their goal, they walked out the door.

As soon as he left the door, Wang Shiming held Li Wen'an's right hand and said nervously: "Brother, Brother Wei has handed over the whole city to you. You must win!"

Li Wen'an felt a chill in his heart when he let a man or an old man hold his hand.

Just seeing the man in front of him asking Zhao Li for his own affairs, I was very moved.

"Sir, don't worry, the bandits outside the city have been sieging the city for a day, and they are relaxed at this time.

As long as the subordinates lead the three thousand warriors to attack their food while they are sleeping, they will be foolproof when the city of Chengdu will be safe."

"good."

Every time he heard him say this, Wang Shiming cheered excitedly.

This is also the reason why Wang Shiming begged Zhao Li for his hard work.

"Brother, you go down and prepare!"

Wang Shiming said with his hand on his shoulder.

Li Wen'an bowed and said goodbye, turned around and walked towards the school ground.

...

At three or four in the morning, it was the time when people were most sleepy. Li Wen'an quietly left Yinghui Gate with three thousand carefully selected heroes.

God is so powerful tonight, dark clouds cover the moonlight, which is a good time to kill and set fire.

After wandering around, under the captives' identification, they came to a valley ten miles east of the city.

There were 50,000 or 600,000 scattered grain and grass in the valley. As long as one fire was burned, the thieves would scatter in a hurry.

Then, Li Wen'an asked the archer with good archery skills to shoot and kill the guards outside the village.

The archers whirled a few times, and all the coalition guards guarding outside the village fell to the ground.

There is no sound in it.

Seeing the guard falling to the ground, Li Wen'an waved his hand and the three thousand heroes followed silently.

There were more than a dozen steps away from the village gate. Li Wen'an spit out the copper coins in his mouth, raised the knife in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, rush in with me and burn the thief's food and grass."

After saying that, he was the first to rush up. When the three thousand heroes behind him saw it, they spit out the copper coins in their mouths, shouted "Kill", and followed them to rush up.

As soon as you enter the village gate, piles of granaries are right in front of you.

Li Wen'an took out the fire slap from his arms, twisted the lid with his mouth, and blew it gently, and the flames started to rise.

Li Wen'an threw the fire note on a granary, and the fire changed from small to large, and instantly turned into a big fire.

There is also a scent of rice.

At this time, the sound that Li Wen'an made just now awakened the guards, and they hurriedly came out with weapons to take a look.

The granary turned into fires.

"Put out the fire quickly!"

A general with his upper body was bare and holding a knife in his hand, jumping from his foot in a hurry.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Li Wen'an hurriedly took the people back.

He knew very well that such a big fire would definitely find out that it would be too late if he didn't leave.

About a quarter of an hour, Zhang Shen and Zhang Ji and others arrived one after another.

When they saw the fire here, they were also frightened.

Soon they realized and participated in the fire extinguishing one after another.

Because the fire was too big, they decided not to extinguish it and instead rescued the food and grass.

In short, how much can I grab? It depends on God's blessing.

After a night, these people were so tired that they could only rescue 70,000 to 80,000 stones of food.

But these are not enough for the army of more than 100,000 to eat in a few days.

When Zhang Shen told the news, they were furious and killed the general who guarded the food and grass.

Then, collect the entire army's grain and distribute it uniformly. If not much, it will be enough for the army to eat for about ten days.

Then Zhang Chen and his wife ordered to attack Chengdu City day and night.

There are two reasons for doing this. One is to retaliate against the cost of burning food and grass by the Chengdu defenders, and the other is to consume their own personnel as much as possible to alleviate the pressure of insufficient food and grass.
