Royal Road - Chapter 154

[Chapter 153 | City]

Linghu Kuang leaned his back against the tower, panting heavily.

On the October day, the north wind was howling, and every breath inhaled seemed to be filled with ice, causing a sore throat;

Just sitting down for a moment, the power in the body dissipated without a trace, leaving only the boundless exhaustion and dull pain, I can’t wait to sleep forever.

But he can’t.

With his eyes wide open, Linghu Kuang looked at the scene above the city.

Countless corpses lay down on the ground, with their heads and legs missing, their intestines pierced and their stomachs rotten.

Those who are still alive, their heads and faces are covered in blood, their eyes have long since lost their brilliance, and their uncontrollable moans and groans are like wailing, drifting endlessly in the city.

The blood water accumulated layer after layer, frozen into thin black-red ice, it seemed that even the hot blood in the cavity was frozen, stabbing people’s bones with pain.

It’s been five days.

They held the head of the city for five days.

After Duke Dongying led his troops to leave, the Huns surrounded Yangyi City.

20,000 enemy troops against the first 3,000 guards in Shangcheng.

From morning to night, siege, siege, siege, night attack, and then siege.

The silhouettes of those black crows under the city, like the inexhaustible and inexhaustible flood of beasts, make people feel hopeless.

Where are the reinforcements?

Can they wait for reinforcements?

Nobody knows the answer.

A cold wind rushed into his throat, and Linghu Kuang coughed violently.

The stab wound on his chest was like a scorching fire, and he jumped up immediately. He bent down in pain, trying to curl himself into a ball.

As if awakened by the sound of coughing, the city suddenly became chaotic, and the drums began to beat again.

Linghu Kuang didn’t care about the pain, so he jumped up and hissed, “The enemy is attacking the city again! Quickly boil the water! Burn a few more pots!”

The log had been used up long ago, so he ordered the house to be demolished and replaced with girders.

The hot water in the pot is the only defensive weapon other than the rolling wood. As long as a pot is spilled, several people will fall from the ladder to the city head screaming.

There are also crossbows, arrows, and guns in their hands.

As long as there is one person left, this city cannot be abandoned!

However, this time, the terrifying rain of arrows did not come immediately, the drums under the city slowed down, and the voices of people sounded: “The general is alive! If we don’t open the city today, the day when the city is opened will be the time to slaughter Yangyi!

” Kaicheng! Kaicheng does not kill!” The

shouts were high and low, echoing endlessly, like a thunderous sound.

At the top of the city, the soldiers who were boiling the water slowed down, and those with guns and knives began to tremble in their arms.

There are more people, with those numb eyes, staring straight at Linghu Kuang, revealing a biting chill.

Kaesong!

Kaesong!

Kaesong!

All over the mountains and plains, they are all shouting the same way.

Linghu Kuang only felt a buzzing sound in his ears, staggered a step, and supported the city wall beside him.

“General!” The personal soldiers on the side rushed up.

“Quick! Quickly lead someone to guard the city gate! The one who opened the city! Execute!” Linghu Kuang roared.

“General, I can’t hold it anymore!” The personal soldier did not obey, but grabbed his arm tightly.

Yes, they can’t hold it anymore.

The people stranded here are the rats who are greedy for life and fear of death, and cowards who have escaped from the battlefield.

He can fight for ten days, fight for months, and even fight for his own life to die for the country.

But those people, will they?

Under the threat of massacre, are they willing to live and die with this city?

“The city gate is here! The West City is open!” An ecstatic scream cut through the sky.

With a puff, Linghu Kuang spat out the mouth of blood that was pressed against his chest.

Five days!

Just five days!

“General! Go from the south gate! Hurry up!” The personal soldier ignored Linghu Kuang’s defenses, carried him on his body, and ran down the city.

In the confusion, Linghu Kuang felt that he was being put on the horse’s back.

The city gates creaked open, and against the setting sun and against the crowd, they rushed out of the city.

“General, where are you going?”

A hurried voice sounded.

The biting cold wind blew away the blood in his mouth and the fog in his eyes.

The enemy is on the side, Jinyang, they can’t go back.

Where else can they go?

A face comes to mind.

A memorable and convincing face.

Linghu Kuang tightened the reins in his hands.

“Go to the party! Go to the party!”

※

Yangyi is broken!

Liu Yuan exhaled the turbid air in his chest, and in just five days, the city would be destroyed, much faster than he expected.

The slaughter in Jingling was far beyond expectations.

Nowadays, the population of the Han people is very small, and the people still need to cultivate the fields. Liu Yuan did not want to waste the population like this.

But the general’s suggestion moved him.

The massacre is not for killing, but for shock.

If the Duan clan Xianbei hadn’t smashed the city of Ye, burned, killed, and looted, how could the state of Jin be shaken?

Whether it is Henkel or Wei Wu, they have also slaughtered the city to demonstrate, and now they are entangled with the state of the war. Using such a brutal method is just pouring a spoonful of cooked oil on the dry wood.

As a result, a massacre resulted in Sima Teng fleeing overnight, and in exchange for the surrender of Qixian and Yangyi Kaicheng.

The most worried about these sanctimonious nobles is their own lives.

As long as they are beaten and slashed and used together, those noble families will bow their knees and use them for their own use!

Now that Yangyi is broken, conquering Jinyang is only a matter of time!

But now, what he wants is not Jinyang.

His eyes glanced at the generals under the seat.

The two people standing in the front came into view.

The first one, seven feet long and eyes like a falcon, was his fourth son, Liu Cong.

Liu Cong was very intelligent since he was a child.

It can also open a three-stone hard bow, and is brave and agile.

What’s even more rare is that this son’s loyalty is commendable, and he was able to break away from the King of Hejian for himself and switch to the gate of the King of Chengdu.

It was he who followed him all the way back to Bingzhou from Yecheng.

If Liu Yuan were to choose, I am afraid that among the sons, only this son is the most worthy of himself.

Beside Liu Cong was another person.

Taller in stature, piercing eyes, and sturdy.

It was his adopted son Liu Yao.

This son was daring and daring since he was a child, and he was well versed in both civil and military affairs.

He has the ability to shoot and is skilled in the art of war. He is also an outstanding man of the time compared to Le Yi and Cao Can.

Both of them are the most exciting characters of the Liu family, and they are the perfect candidates for this attack!

“King Luli!” Liu Yuan said.

Liu Cong stepped forward and

bowed his hands: “My son is here!” ”

I ordered you to lead 20,000 cavalry, join the Shangdang, and conquer the city!

” General Wei!” Liu Yuan ordered another person.

Liu Yao took a step forward: “My son is here!”

“I ordered you to take five thousand cavalry lightly and take the Gaodu directly! Capture the Liangfu!”

This is not only a siege of the city, but also an attack on the farmhouse of the new prefect of the party. Its restless.

The significance is also extraordinary.

Liu Yao clasped his fists: “My son will step on the high capital and clear the way for the former army!”

Twenty-five thousand people split up and attacked, enough to level any city, not to mention the influx of Shangdang.

Seeing the menacing and high-spirited gestures of the two, Liu Yuan’s worries disappeared.

How can that Buddhist son who deceives the world and steals his name be the enemy of the true dragon son of the Liu family!

※

“Fujun…! The last general is incompetent and lost Yangyi!” Linghu Kuang’s knees went weak, and he fell to his knees on the Lucheng lobby.

Days and nights of fierce battles, and he came to report the news day and night, draining the last of his strength.

When he saw the familiar face, he couldn’t hold it any longer and fell to the ground softly.

Since the Xianbei people left, he has not won a battle.

Even after losing battles in a row, even Yangyi has not been able to defend.

What kind of face is there to see that this saved himself and the fire and water, and gave him a new benefactor?

However, he still came, just because he lost Yangyi, the Shangdang was in danger!

Even if he died, he would come over in person to report the news.

“This campaign, it’s not to blame General Linghu.” A clear voice sounded in his ears.

Liang Feng stepped down from the main seat, came to Linghu Kuang’s side, and supported the crumbling young general with both hands.

“I have received the letter. General Linghu fought hard for five days, but his subordinates privately opened the city gates. Blame the inhumans he met!” Liang Feng’s tone was very firm.

The loss of Yangyi was unexpected.

But in the final analysis, it is not the fault of the person in front of him.

Sima Teng escaped too simply, breaking the bottom line of the Jin army who stayed behind.

After the city was broken, it was already the limit that Linghu Kuang could do.

To deal with the Xiongnu and Han kingdoms, the armies composed of those gentry were far from enough.

He was firmly held up by those slender and fair hands, and seeing the firm trust in those pair of black bright star eyes, Linghu Kuang’s nose was sour, and he could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes.

He is not afraid of death, not afraid of martyrdom, but he is afraid of dying in an unclear and notorious way.

He is a descendant of the Linghu family and a general elected by the state.

But the man in front of him did not doubt him.

He was not charged with guilt and treated with contempt.

Instead, he personally lifted him up and gave him the honor he deserved.

This “not strange” is enough to make his heart go to the ground!

Looking at the man in front of him who was choked with tears and speechless, Liang Feng sighed softly: “If there is

a fierce battle in the future, I will ask General Linghu to go to the hospital for treatment.

After calling the words, Linghu Kuang wiped the blood and tears on his face, and replied in a choked voice: “The last general is not talented, and I am willing to live and die together with the Shangdang!”

“It will not die.” Linghu Kuang said, “Shangdang has been preparing for the battle for a year. Although he has not done his best, he is not afraid of the captives. If the enemy comes, he will have his own arrows, crossbows, knives and guns!”

Preparing for the battle?

The party has been preparing for the war for a year?

Yes, since Liang Zixi took over, Shangdang has changed a lot.

But he never imagined that during the chaos in Bingzhou, the other party would still be able to calm down and prepare for the challenge.

However, when looking at the firmness above the man’s jade face, a sense of confidence also rose from his chest.

It seems that as long as that person is in the Shangdang, there will be no loss in this throat!

Seeing that Linghu Kuang’s mood had stabilized, Liang Feng immediately summoned his servants and sent him to heal his wounds.

The person left, but the bloody soil on his hands did not dissipate.

Holding the filth tightly in his palm, Liang Feng said loudly, “The Huns are attacking, you should resist them!

”

But since it’s here, I’m afraid it’s useless.

Then let’s fight!

Fighting him turned the world upside down, so that the thief chief would never dare to set foot on his Shangdang!

Wu Qiqi stood up from the audience and said, “I would like to be the lord/fu-jun to expel the Hu prisoners and protect me from the party!” On

that day, horses and carts of supplies, like birds flying away from their nests, headed towards the counties of Shangdang.
