Chapter 175 Breaking into the city
Chapter 175: Breaking into the city
The Qiang soldier who was guarding the gate yawned Lian Tiandi and said, "So it's the general. You came by unfortunately. Your Majesty has already gone to bed. Go back and come again tomorrow!"
There were a few Qiang soldiers next to them. They didn't even stand up and leaned against the wall and yawned. One of them was still asleep and was still snoring.
Bian Zhang looked extremely angry. The upper beam was not straight, the lower beam was crooked, and Li Wenhou was not promising, and even his subordinates were not promising. As the saying goes, "Be prepared for danger in times of peace, but now I haven't even been here, so I don't even think about danger." It's really unreasonable!
Bian Zhang shouted, "Stop talking nonsense, be more energetic. Go in and wake up Your Majesty. I have something important to tell Your Majesty!"
The Qiang soldier was scolded and was unhappy. The Qiang soldier was from the tribe of Li Wenhou and had been with Li Wenhou for more than ten years. Bian Zhang was a newcomer and a Han Chinese. He looked down on him at all and thought that Bian Zhang was not their own. In addition, Bian Zhang is now a general, and is in charge of more than 100,000 new recruits. He is even more envious and jealous than the Qiang people in the headquarters.
The Qiang soldier stopped yawning and his spirits recovered, but he stared at him and said, "General, it's not too late to say anything tomorrow. Now when you go in, it will disturb Your Majesty's rest. If Your Majesty gets angry, is it your responsibility or me? Go back quickly and say something tomorrow!"
Bian Zhang was furious and said, "This is really good for the King of Hell. It's hard to stop the little ghost. You, a small gatekeeper, dare to talk to me like this. Are you afraid of your life?" Before the Qiang soldier could talk back, he pulled out his waist knife and sent it forward, stabbing it into the Qiang soldier's stomach!
The Qiang soldier screamed. He never expected Bian Zhang to stab him with a knife, and he was not prepared at all. He slowly slipped down, staring at Bian Zhang with his eyes, and blood kept spewing out of his mouth!
The shout woke up the Qiang soldiers beside them. They were shocked and at a loss as they watched Bian Zhang pull out the knife from the Qiang soldiers' body!
Bian Zhang shook the blood from the knife and said coldly: "How can the military and national affairs be delayed? You should go in and report to Your Majesty now, saying that I have important matters and must tell Your Majesty now!"
After killing the person, Bian Zhang felt a little regretful. What happened to me tonight? Why was she so angry? She was originally going to tell Li Wenhou that he was leaving, but now that he killed his guard, Li Wenhou would be unhappy. Although he would not turn against him because of a small soldier, he was afraid that he would not get any material support when he left. Maybe he would get stuck in the strong soldier and only let him take away the old, weak, sick and disabled.
The Qiang soldiers reacted, and they jumped up together, pulled out the scimitar, and several people surrounded Bian Zhang, while a Qiang soldiers rolled and crawled into the back hall to wake up Li Wenhou.
Bian Zhang took the knife back into the scabbard, and he was still regretting. Why did he feel so sudden and unstable? He used to be not like this. Could it be that something big will happen tonight and he had a premonition, so he was so angry?
After a moment, the Qiang soldier ran out and shouted, "General, Your Majesty let you in. Your sword must be left, and you cannot bring any weapons in!"
Bian Zhang untied his waist and stuffed it to a Qiang soldier, and walked into the back hall empty-handedly.
Li Wenhou sat on the bed with a quilt, feeling dizzy. When he saw Bian Zhang coming in, he said unhappily: "Brother Bian, what's the matter? You have to say tonight, tomorrow won't work? I have a headache... I have a headache! By the way, why do you want to kill people? There are brothers who have been with me for many years outside. If you kill their people, how should everyone get along in the future? They will find a way to take revenge. You said that at that time, I will care whether I care about it or not, the left hand is flesh, and the right hand is flesh..." As he said that, he shook his head, as if he wanted to get rid of the headache and make himself more awake.
Bian Zhang took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it. He knelt in front of Li Wenhou and said, "Your Majesty, I was originally a commoner, and I was fortunate to follow you and make achievements. But I didn't expect that tonight, in order to see Your Majesty, I hurt Your Majesty's close clan members for a moment. I know that it will be difficult for you to get along with your colleagues in the future, so I want to ask Your Majesty for something!"
Li Wenhou said excitedly, "Brother Bian, don't make things difficult for me. You can't let me kill all your colleagues just because it's difficult for you to get along with your colleagues. This is absolutely impossible."
Bian Zhang said: "Your Majesty misunderstood. I don't mean this. I want to leave the city where I go for the time being, lead troops to attack Song Xiao, and take Song Xiao's head for your Majesty..."
Li Wenhou was shocked and woke up suddenly. He shouted: "Brother Bian, what do you mean by saying this? Are you going to pull the team out to work alone? You, you are going to rebel!"
When he called rebellion, all the Qiang soldiers outside ran in, holding a scimitar and glared at Bian Zhang. They had just died and were dissatisfied with Bian Zhang. Now the emperor calls rebellion? As long as the emperor gives orders, they can chop Bian Zhang into meat paste!
Bian Zhang hurriedly said, "No, I absolutely have no intention of pulling the team out and working alone. Your Majesty, you have misunderstood me..."
Before he could finish his words, a Qiang soldier ran into the outside world like crazy and shouted: "Your Majesty, something is not good. The Fujiao Army has arrived. It has already broken through the outer barracks and reached the city gate!"
Li Wenhou jumped up from the bed and shouted, "What, what is the Jiaojiao Army here? They are far away from us. How could they call here? How did you put your whistle!"
He just lay down, and now he jumped up, naked, without any momentum of Emperor Zhao, and was a bit like a cat with a trampled tail!
Bian Zhang was also shocked. He finally understood why he was in a state of uneasiness tonight. This was a premonition before the disaster. The Fujiao Army attacked at night and they came over!
Bian Zhang also jumped up and shouted, "Your Majesty, don't panic, I will go to the city to fight the enemy..."
"Wait!" Li Wenhou waved his hand and looked at Bian Zhang and said, "Bian Zhang, you said to go out to work alone tonight. You are so anxious that you even killed my personal soldiers in order to meet me. Did you know that Fujiao Army was coming in advance? You have colluded with Li Qin, right?"
Bian Zhang was anxious, even more anxious than hearing the attack of Fujiao Army. He said, "Your Majesty, this misunderstanding is too great. How could I collude with Li Qin? Some people spread rumors, some people framed me..." Suddenly, I thought that the incident had just happened, and no one had time to spread his rumors, all of which Li Wenhou thought of.
He quickly said, "Your Majesty, do you remember how Li Qin spread rumors and made trouble, saying that you colluded with him, but it turned out that you and the King of Beigong were disagreeable, and even caused the King of Beigong to die, and you were forced to leave Bingzhou? Now Li Qin used the same trick again and came to sow the relationship between you and me again. Your Majesty must not be fooled!"
Li Wenhou remembered his experience and was stunned. Then he thought that if Bian Zhang really wanted to rebel, it would be impossible for him to come to see him alone. He just had to bring a team of subordinates in and could kill himself just now. He didn't need to defend himself in a furious manner as he was now.
He nodded and said, "I can trust Brother Bian. It was indeed a misunderstanding just now. Now that the enemy is in front of you and my brothers must not have a gap. You and my brothers should unite and fight against Li Qin together!" He patted Bian Zhang's shoulder and said, "Let's go out and fight Li Qin together. If you have any words, I will talk about it after the war is over."
Bian Zhang hurriedly said, "When Li Qin is beaten away, I will apologize to Your Majesty!" He turned around and ran out of the back hall, and went to the city to fight the enemy first, while Li Wenhou quickly put on his helmet and armor, and then ran out of the back hall.
At this time, the Fujiao Army outside the city had already reached the city!
Li Qin led the Fujiao Army and rushed to Gaonu County. Twenty or thirty miles outside the city were all large camps of Hu people of all races. Most of the Qiang soldiers were family members. Their military camps were different from regular military camps. They could only be regarded as migrating nomadic tribes, and they were accommodated in their families, not in combat units. How could such a camp withstand the impact!
The cavalry rode their horses and passed by, and the Fujiao Army did not fight with the Qiang soldiers. Even if they could defeat the Qiang soldiers at this time, they did not do this. Instead, they rushed to the city in one breath, as if they had entered a no-man!
Li Qin personally led the scouts to Ximen first. He shouted: "Shoot the arrows, rockets, and burn everything that can be burned!"
The scouts lit feather arrows and shot arrows into the city. The rockets crossed the city wall and shot to the houses in the city. In an instant, a huge fire ignited. Gaonu County is not like a big city in the Central Plains. There are no wealthy families in the city. Most of the people's houses use thatch as roofs. Once the rockets fall on it, how could the thatch not catch fire? Moreover, when a fire breaks out, it cannot even be rescued. At this moment, no Qiang soldiers will go to put out the fire and are running towards the city wall!
After a while, the Fujiao Army brigade arrived, and the soldiers ran around the city wall, shooting rockets into the city. In just two quarters of an hour, the entire western city wall was already filled with flames, and the smoke was choking everywhere!
Tens of thousands of rockets shot into the city, and the Qiang soldiers on the city quickly fought back, but the results were pitifully small. Their bows were weak and they could not shoot the horn-punching soldiers at all. The most important thing was that the horn-punching soldiers did not approach the city wall, but just bullied them with the long range of the bow and arrow!
Bian Zhang ran to the city wall, with a fire behind him, but outside the city in front of him was the overwhelming Fujiao Army. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Bian Zhang calmed down and shouted: "Don't shoot the arrows anymore, stop shooting. The Fujiao Army is luring us to shoot arrows, wanting us to fire arrows, and then they can climb up the city wall, don't be fooled!"
The city wall was already in chaos, and there were shouts around him. Except for some of the Qiang soldiers around him who could hear his words, the Qiang soldiers who were a little further away didn't even know that they could hear the orders when they arrived on the city wall!
Li Wenhou also ran to the city wall. He looked at the Fujiao Army in the distance and said in surprise: "How did they break through the outer military camp? Blow the horns quickly, assemble the army, and let the brothers all come to Xicheng, hurry up!"
Chapter completed!
