Chapter 1236 Infighting
The north wall of Youzhou City, taking advantage of the enemy under the city that did not take advantage of the siege of the city, Shi Chaoyi, who survived the disaster, helped Wu Chengen and Wu Chengwei brothers to rectify the soldiers and organize the equipment to defend the city, and communicate with the military law team at the request of the Wu brothers. He finally finished his work, and before he could take a break, Cao Neng hurriedly arrived with a hundred soldiers. When he heard that the south wall had just encountered a strong attack from the crossbows, his father rushed to him. Shi Chaoyi immediately took a few steps back, making a point of heart, and said hoarsely: "There are also a large army besieging the city in the north. I also asked General Cao to tell his father that I dare not leave the post without permission."
Cao Neng knew that Shi Chaoyi had guessed Shi Siming's intentions. To be fair, he himself felt that Shi Siming would kill his son and establish his authority at this time. It was too arbitrary, but how could he dare to disobey the head coach? He could only wink at his left and right, then smiled and said, "The eldest son, the commander's military order cannot be questioned, and even more so, please do not make things difficult for the last general. The person coming."
Shi Chaoyi had been guarding against this move. Before Cao Neng finished speaking, he took a few steps back and flashed behind the brothers Wu Chengen and Wu Chenggui, and then he said, "The father-in-law is just to kill me. General Cao doesn't have to use any military orders to fool me. When the father-in-law sent me to secretly go out of the city to meet Du Shiyi, I knew that sooner or later it was just a dead father-in-law who wanted to surrender, but was afraid that Du Shiyi would refuse. He actually asked me to speak harshly to Du Shiyi, asking hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Youzhou City to be buried with him. But Du Shiyi used a delayed strategy to fool me, but I just came back to report it truthfully. As the master, he believed himself as the truth, why did he attack me now?"
Seeing that the army under the city was approaching, Shi Chaoyi had no hope of defending Youzhou, so he took the initiative and made this secret secret that Shi Siming had always been secretly announced to the public. Sure enough, even Cao Neng changed his color when he shouted. Seeing that the generals on the city were in an uproar, Wu Chengen said at the right time: "General Cao, now the army is attacking, Youzhou City is in a critical moment. The eldest son is here, and he can still help me. I think there should be nothing to do in the south. Please give back to the general, and say that the enemy is in front of him, and the enemy is the most important thing, and his affairs are the least important."
If Shi Chaoyi had not said what he said just now, according to Cao Neng's original intention, of course he hoped that it would be left alone. But now Shi Chaoyi directly broke the window paper, if Shi Siming received the reward, he would be furious. When he was investigated, he would have to peel off his skin even if he did not die. So, even though Wu Chengen had made a clear appearance for Shi Chaoyi, he still had to bite the bullet and say, "General Wu, you are not a young general, you dare to refute your face. It is really a strict order from the general. I dare not disobey the commander. Now it is the time to defend the enemy. If the eldest son takes the lead and refuses to obey the commander's military order, how can you fight this battle?"
While he was polite and persuaded him, he made a gesture with his hands behind his back. Sure enough, the fang soldiers who only followed Shi Siming's horse's leader immediately rushed forward and forced them to the Wu brothers and Shi Chaoyi. However, Wu Chenggui had gathered all his loyal soldiers at this time, fearing that these fang soldiers would take advantage of the opportunity to take Shi Chaoyi away, so he immediately whistled. Suddenly, more than a hundred people surrounded him, and it became a confrontation pattern.
Seeing this, the generals on the top of the city were already anxious because of the fierce attack outside the city. When they heard Shi Chaoyi's words, they seemed to have had internal strife again, and then they suddenly became even more turbulent.
Cao Neng never expected that the reaction of Wu Chengen and Wu Chengneng would be so loud. The next scene made him completely lose his ability to think. Because before he could give an order, a soldier suddenly pulled his sword and rushed forward. This absolutely irrational action immediately touched the emotions of both sides. I don’t know how many people followed him to pull the weapons in their hands, and then there was a melee. Faced with this completely out of control, Cao Neng felt his chest blocked and his throat choked. When he finally came to his senses and stopped, the sound of weapons attacking and killing had completely covered his voice.
Shi Chaoyi did not expect that the two sides would have conflicted directly, and Wu Chengen and Wu Chenggui were the same. Their original plan was to quietly open the city gate in the north without disturbing Shi Siming, let the Anbei army outside the city enter, and build the first contribution of restoring Youzhou City. But the result is that the dead soldiers under their command directly and Shi Siming's tooth soldiers found that the military law team not far away had been alarmed. The two of them looked at me, helpless and regretful. At this time, there were wolves in front and tigers in the back. Once they failed, the furious Shi Siming would never listen to any explanation, even if they had many years of love.
"Whoever dares to be unfavorable to the eldest son, just step over my body first."
With this sudden loud shout, Shi Chaoyi hurriedly turned his head and looked at the sound, but saw Cai Wenjing heading and Luo Yue behind him. Several of his generals rushed to the top of the city with hundreds of people. Originally, there were only a dozen personal guards, and he had to hide from Wu Chengen and Wu Chengyan's brothers, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed and immediately shouted loudly: "Hurry up, you stop the military law team first."
Found that Shi Chaoyi's generals and the soldiers who followed him did immediately intercept the military and legal teams, and his own dead soldiers were fighting with the fang soldiers. Wu Chengyu knew that the opportunity was not to be lost and he immediately gave a wink at his clan brothers. He pulled Shi Chaoyi back to the city tower that was still safe. As soon as he reached his own land, Wu Cheng'en said in a deep voice: "Young Master, the situation is irreversible now. Once the general knows the situation here, he will definitely not let any of us go. And the army outside is approaching. If they find that the internal strife is coming up on the city, Youzhou City will be over."
Although Shi Chaoyi is not a stunning talent, it is not difficult to make a decision in this situation in front of him. So, after taking a deep breath, he said word by word: "I am willing to raise my arms and shout with my two uncles, open the city gate, and welcome the army into the city."
Seeing that Shi Chaoyi was so easy to talk to, Wu Chengen nodded and agreed: "Okay, Chengwen, you go to the winch in person. After you control the place, I immediately appeared on the city tower and shouted to the soldiers."
Wu Chengqi immediately left, but Shi Chaoyi, who had just made the decision, lowered his head weakly. He knew very well that his choice might not be able to save his life, but what else could he do? He told himself that the morale of the army in the city was already in chaos, and if he continued to stick to it, he could only use high-pressure terrorist policies, but in that case, civil strife would occur sooner or later. Since that is the case, it is better to have short pain than long pain.
Zhang Xing and Aguten observed the riots on the city wall north of Youzhou City. Although they had just told Aguten not to be anxious, Zhang Xing quickly changed his mind. At the time of the past, he led the coalition forces of Tongluo and Pugu to fight. Du Shiyi's military order was very clear. It would be best to be able to attack and capture Youzhou City in one fell swoop. If not, there was no need to fight to the death. Everything was safe. After all, Tongluo and Pugu, as a tribe who had surrendered to the Anbei Ya tent, had always made great contributions. Needless to say, Pugu Huai'en and his son, Aguten has made many achievements in the Anbei Protectorate's Office in recent years. It is not possible to make people feel that these foreign troops are just cannon fodder used for consumption.
Therefore, Zhang Xing, who led his troops alone for the first time, implemented Du Shiyi's request well, and was not impatient, and fought steadily. But at this moment, he immediately ordered: "Send the order, lower the winch crossbow, aim it at the city wall, and fire the arrow of Aguten, prepare for me. As soon as the city gate opens, you will send me a team of surrendered soldiers and rush in and then you will take your soldiers to the city."
Aguten was overjoyed and immediately agreed and went down to prepare. The reason why he asked the surrenders to enter the city first was of course because he was worried that the matter of opening the city would be deceptive. It was dangerous to enter the city through the city gate. He asked him to enter the city to fight. On the one hand, he could directly join the chaos at the city gate, and on the other hand, he could completely incorporate the winch that controlled the opening and closing of the city gate into control, and at the same time he was guarding against the other rebels who came to reinforce from all sides. Youzhou City is the largest city in Hebei Road. The fall of a city gate cannot determine the entire battle situation. But he, who was the first to climb the city, had made his first contribution.
The so-called stomping arrow refers to the special arrows shot onto the city walls that can be used by siege infantry to siege the city, and then assisted with a ladder, which is definitely a powerful siege weapon. However, Zhang Xing, who discovered that the internal strife at the city was not just used as a signal of siege, but instead gave the two sides fighting at the city. Sure enough, after the crossbow arrows were fired again, the two sides fighting at the city walls had a hint of silence and pause, but when they found that the crossbow arrows were all shot at the city walls, not aimed at them, the feelings in their hearts were naturally very different.
Wu Chengen rushed towards Shi Chaoyi with an excited expression and shouted: "Shoot the wall but not the people. The Anbei army under the city obviously noticed the abnormal movement here and was preparing to attack the city. Chaoyi, hurry up, Chengyu has controlled the city gate winch. At this time, your eldest son's call will definitely make more people turn against you."
Shi Chaoyi was also startled by the sudden crossbow arrows. He did not dare to hesitate, and went to the edge of the city tower to hold the railings with both hands, shouting loudly to both sides who were suspending the battle on the city wall: "The father and the commander are willing to surrender. So why should we fight before the imperial court conquered Ye County. Except for taking An Qingxu to Chang'an and killing Yan Zhuang and Ashina Chengqing, almost all the surrendered soldiers could survive and think about your wife, children, and young people in your family."
As Shi Siming's eldest son, he also has a reputation of sympathizing with the soldiers. After Shi Chaoyi's words continued, even the military and dentist soldiers were shaken by it. When he heard the winch turn and the city gate in the north slowly rose, those loyal to Shi Siming were furious and frightened by it, and desperately rushed to the winch. The city was in chaos again. However, many soldiers of the military and dentist soldiers were at a loss. Until the soldiers outside the city had already started quickly, the overwhelming offensive rushed towards the city wall.
The enemy has taken advantage of this to attack the city
