Chapter 983 Shameless

"Siege is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top. Siege has always been the bloodiest method of warfare. You have to fill the bottom and the top of the city with human lives. Therefore, the ability to attack the city is shocking, and breaking the city lies in the psychology. .”

Yang Xuan pointed to his heart, and began to give lessons to his subordinates.

"If you look through the history books, you will find that more than a thousand people used the city to block an army of [-] for several days, and even ten days...not at one time, but many times. What does this mean? The defenders are crazy!"

"That's why I said in this battle, it's outside but not inside. Lin Jun's help seems to be a good thing, but it also made the defenders pin all their hopes on him. He won, needless to say. He lost, and the defenders felt like a mourning concubine. "

The generals listened very carefully, and the old thief was recording.

Behind him, Jiang He'er was also recording, looking at Yang Xuan while recording.

Yang Xuan pointed to the top of the city, "At first I thought that Lijiang City could last for five days, but today, I think it will take half a day, and it might not be able to go down in one go!"

All at once... This is a bit exaggerated!Duke!

Everyone followed his fingers to look over.

At the head of the city, Kunzhou Biejia Ding Yan grabbed the back collar of the governor Sang Yuanxing's clothes, and put the long knife on his neck.

He shouted at the bottom of the city.

"The Duke is mighty!"

You don't need to go down with a drum, you can break the city without a move... All the generals: "..."

Jiang He'er opened his small mouth, "Is this breaking the city?"

Yang Xuan was also taken aback for a moment.

Siege has always been the bloodiest method of warfare, and attacking the heart is the most important thing, in order to avoid heavy casualties.

What he said earlier was fine, but it was a bit exaggerated to say it all at once.

Unexpectedly, without waiting for his order, the city turned around.

The defenders who had been able to hold on for five days collapsed.

But he immediately understood the truth inside.

"The arrival of Lin Jun made the defenders overjoyed, and they pinned all their hopes on the reinforcements. This man is like this, relying on everyone to run. When you are thinking about who to rely on, your heart It’s gone. How can you defend the city if you lose your spirit?”

"Duke... wise!"

The corners of He Lianyan's mouth turned up slightly, feeling that this scene should be recorded, and it will be remembered forever in the annals of history.

This is the real famous general of the Tang Dynasty, much stronger than those generals in Chang'an who only know how to blow... King Yong lowered his head, and his eyes were full of splendor.

Nan He asked for instructions, "Duke, do you want to attack?"

Yang Xuan shook his head, "In all these years, the defenders of the Northern Liao Dynasty have never voluntarily surrendered. This also makes Ning Xing quite proud. Kunzhou's surrender today is of great significance."

This incident can severely damage the morale of Beiliao.

"Furthermore, the sons of our northern border army, the less you die in battle, the better. As for the people from the Northern Liao Dynasty, let's see how they fight among themselves."

The city is in chaos.

"Don't plot rebellion! Kill him!"

"Yang Gou is here, Kunzhou can't hold it anymore."

"If you take the initiative to surrender, you don't need to build roads... Ah! Who will cut me down?"

I don't know who made the first move, the defenders at the top of the city divided into two waves and started a scuffle.

"This knife makes a good job!"

"Oh! This foot is like an antelope's horns, and there is no trace to be found. It's wonderful!"

"Look, this knife turned out to be the first."

There was a scuffle at the top of the city, and the northern border army under the city didn't say they took the opportunity to make a move, but were watching a show.

Ding Yan held Sang Yuanxing back to the corner, surrounded by soldiers who wanted to surrender.

Although the people on both sides were almost the same, the Northern Border Army was right under the city, and the morale of the group that asked to surrender was greatly boosted, gradually gaining the upper hand.

Sang Yuanxing didn't dare to move his neck, and kept his body leaning back slightly. He sneered and said, "I didn't expect you to dare to rebel against Daliao. Aren't you afraid that your family will be exiled?"

There are precedents for such things. The general surrendered, and the family members were either exiled or all slaves...

These two punishments are hard to distinguish. Some people say that being a slave is better, but it depends on luck.If you are lucky and meet a good master, you will have a safe life.If you are unlucky, if you meet a vicious host, life would be worse than death.

In fact, it is almost impossible to meet a good host.

The family members of officials and generals are my efforts, what do ordinary people think?
——Fuck!Isn't this someone's wife and child?

People like to see other people's misfortune, but they can create others' misfortune, not to mention the sense of superiority.

There is still a way out for common people to be slaves. The former nobles were slaves, and their fate was not much better, which is related to this mentality.

——You also have today?

Ding Yan grinned and said, "Either you die, or your family members are exiled. Which one do you let me choose? If I die, the rest of my wife and children will be bullied. Why don't I die?"

"Your shamelessness is beyond my expectations."

"After accepting the bribe, your upright demeanor makes this old man sick!"

Those rebels began to counterattack, and teams squeezed their opponents forward.

From time to time, someone fell to the top of the city, and the howling sound started, and then disappeared.

Below the city, teams of Northern Xinjiang troops are practicing killing.

The recruits participated in the siege battle this time, but they failed to participate in the field battle with Lin Jun.

"Kill more accurately! Yes, aim at the chest, stab it hard, and easily end a life!"

The rookie stabbed his half-dead opponent with a single shot, turned around and vomited, and was kicked down.

The team is cursing fiercely: "Pitttttt, on the battlefield, will the opponent wait for you to vomit before attacking? Go back and continue to kill!"

The recruits vomited out their gall, but were forced to kill.

Those who fell to the top of the city were all resistance factions, and they resisted quite fiercely.

In this process, the veterans and team officers acted as bodyguards.

"what!"

One of the bodyguards was slow to react, and one of the recruits was stabbed.

"Ah! Help! Help me!"

The rookie fell down, screaming.

The team officer beheaded his opponent and stood in front of him, "Get up!"

"help me!"

The rookies howled.

"Who's hurt?"

Chen Huagu, a famous doctor in northern Xinjiang, came galloping with a few apprentices, carrying a medicine box on his back.

This battle was somewhat boring, with not many casualties, which made Chen Huagu feel useless.

The recruit lay on the ground and howled, "I'm going to die!"

Chen Huagu didn't dare to neglect, and knelt beside him on one knee, searching carefully...

"where?"

"This!"

The recruit pointed to his stomach.

There was a hole in the armor in the lower abdomen, and Chen Huagu heard his howling, and carefully opened the armor to both sides.

On the lower abdomen, there was a reddish mark.

This knife didn't even break the skin!

Chen Hua got up and cursed: "No shit, get out!"

Strange to say, the team officer's scolding was useless, and Chen Huagu scolded, and the new recruit jumped up immediately.

"fine?"

The recruit looked down and said happily, "Yeah, it's okay, hahahaha!"

Chen Huagu glanced at the team officer, "How the hell did you lead the soldiers?"

The team officer's face was red, and he saluted: "It's the fault of the subordinate."

"Affects morale!"

Chen Huagu left with the medicine box on his back.

The team officer kicked the rookie down, "Camp up camp today, go dig the latrine!"

He Lianrong looked at this scene, shook his head and sighed.

If such things happened in the past, the team officers' foul language and even personal attacks would have started long ago.Unlike literati who have to fart a few times in the intestines first, military officers and soldiers humiliate people straightforwardly, which can make you unforgettable for a lifetime.

But the team officer only punished, not humiliated.

Yang Xuan has been encouraging the brotherhood in the army, and today it has paid off.

He glanced at Yang Xuan, and said softly: "The old man was not wronged when he was defeated!"

At the top of the city, Sang Yuanxing said, "Your Majesty treats you well."

"It's not thin, but where is it? This is Kunzhou. Once Neizhou is lost, this place faces the northern border. Isn't it thin? This is because I want the old man to work for him!"

Sang Yuanxing sighed, "Your Majesty is really kind to me. Last year, someone reported corruption on me, but His Majesty suppressed it. From then on, I swore allegiance to Your Majesty until death."

The resistance faction began to retreat.

Sang Yuanxing moved his neck cautiously, the knife edge rubbed against his skin, and his whole body froze.

"Over the years, I have worked hard in Kunzhou. Last year, I had the opportunity to be transferred back to Ningxing, but I refused without hesitation. I am sorry, Your Majesty."

"From last year to this year, you have been corrupted for more than 20 yuan. And Ning Xing let you go to the Ministry of Rites, which sounds nice, but it is a Qingshui yamen, and there is no place for corruption." Ding Yan sighed, "You are really shameless."

Sang Yuanxing said solemnly: "I have shed blood for Daliao. Today, the troops from Northern Xinjiang came to the city, which made me think of Yang Xuan. When he was in Taiping, I had heard about him. When he arrived in Chenzhou, his reputation It was like thunder. When he was in charge of the northern border, the old man secretly admired him, and felt that this is a hero of the world!"

Several soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army climbed up.

Seeing Sang Yuanxing, he couldn't help beaming with joy.

The second assassin captured alive!

Ding Yan, who captured Sang Yuanxing and launched a rebellion, is also favored. According to the Duke's urticating nature, this person can at least be a rich man.

But Ding Yan's complexion was so ugly, as if he was suffering from eating a fly.

Sang Yuanxing coughed dryly, "This old man has long wanted to submit to the Duke, but he couldn't find a chance for a while. Where is the Duke? This old man has important secrets to report."

The gate of the city was opened, and Nan He ordered people to enter the city to clean up.

"After Lijiang City, the follow-up will be easy." Yang Xuan glanced at the map Jiang Heer was holding, "The follow-up city..."

He looked at the generals.

Nan He is silent.

Pei Jian was calm.

Jiang Cunzhong didn't take it seriously.

"Jiang Cunzhong."

"exist!"

"Heding City belongs to you!"

"Leader!"

"Pei Jian!"

"exist!"

"You lead the army to attack Longchuan!"

"Leader!"

Yang Xuan's troops were divided into three divisions, and Jiang Cunzhong and Pei Jian each led an army to attack the remaining two cities in Kunzhou, but he himself entered Lijiang City.

It was a hard journey, so he went to take a shower first.

When he came out, Jiang He'er was waiting, "Duke, please see Sang Yuanxing, he said that there is an important confidential report."

"I'm a villain!"

Wang Laoer looked down on this kind of scum.

"understood."

Yang Xuan went to the front yard.

"Let him come."

Yang Xuan sat down, and He Lianyan knelt behind him, wiping his hair with a cloth towel.

It's sunny outside, but quiet inside.

Footsteps sounded, and Yang Xuan, who was looking at the documents sent by Tao County, did not raise his head and said, "Come in."

"Kingdom."

A sergeant came in, "Sang Yuanxing is here."

Yang Xuan put down the Chinese book in his hand and nodded.

Sang Yuanxing had his hands tied behind his back. After entering, Yang Xuan nodded slightly as a compliment to him for choosing to put down his weapon at the last moment.

But the first achievement is undoubtedly Ding Yan's.

"Pfft!"

Yang Xuan blinked his eyes.

Why bother?
Sang Yuanxing knelt down without hesitation and said, "I have long admired the name of Duke, but it's a pity that I can't serve him."

This person is shameless!
But Yang Xuan's favorite thing is to have shameless enemies.

He has no morals and cleanliness to the point where he can't see corrupt officials and ghosts who are afraid of death.

"En!" Yang Xuan hummed as encouragement.

He Lianyan thought it was like giving a captive dog an encouraging look.

"The prince is majestic and heroic..."

Sang Yuanxing's opening remarks were a bit long.

To be honest, it feels pretty good to be praised, but after hearing too much, I feel a little tired.

all fake!

Yang Xuan reminded himself, and impatiently rapped on the table with his fingers.

"Say something."

"Yes."

Sang Yuanxing rubbed the froth at the corner of his mouth. Of course he knew that Yang Xuan's resentment would be aroused by flattery, but at the same time, Yang Xuan would also despise him. In this way, his situation would be much better.

"That old man went to Longchuan to inspect, and by the way..."

"By the way what?"

Yang Xuan didn't look up, but He Lianyan sat up straight, looked at Sang Yuanxing over his shoulder, and said with a sneer, "Don't hesitate, or Jin Yiwei's methods will make you regret being born."

"Yan!" Yang Xuan sighed.

"Kingdom."

"Don't be too eager, let's take our time."

"Yes!"

He Lianyan's waist collapsed, and she continued to wipe his hair.

But Sang Yuanxing shuddered, "The old man will collect a sum of money by the way."

This mother's corruption has reached home.

He Lianyan said in a low voice: "Our people shipped out a large amount of money from Sang Yuanxing's house earlier, probably no less than 50 yuan."

A governor was able to embezzle 50 yuan, and this time the military expenditure can be subsidized again.

Yang Xuan was very pleased.

"It was night, and the old man was resting behind the government office. In the dead of night, the old man suddenly suffered from abdominal pain. Just as he wanted to get up, he heard someone talking outside."

Sang Yuanxing had a look of horror in his eyes, "It's two men who said... the steward of the eldest princess' biological mother was in Longchuan back then, and this person knew a lot about the eldest princess."

Ok?
Yang Xuan was puzzled, "What does this mean?"

Changling is a genuine princess, if not, how could Helianfeng have prepared many backups for her?
To be honest, Yang Xuan was a little envious of those underhands. Thinking about the situation when he started his family with only a few kittens by his side, he couldn't help but sigh.

They are all fathers, let's see how authentic He Lianfeng is.

Sang Yuanxing became short of breath, "Yes, there may be some problems with the origin of the eldest princess' biological mother."

He Lianyan behind her stopped to wipe her hair.

Breathing is slightly heavy.

This is news worth a million dollars.

Yang Xuan's face remained unchanged, "How long ago?"

If it takes a long time, the only thing Yang Xuan can do is to send a letter to Ningxing to make Changling prepare for it.

Hope, not too long.

Without the containment of Changling, the situation in the Northern Liao Dynasty will undergo major changes.

If not, Lin Ya can suppress He Lianchun.

Compared with He Lianchun, Yang Xuan felt that Lin Ya was a greater threat.

Seeing his calm expression, Sang Yuanxing felt a little annoyed.

"The old man knows that the Duke and the eldest princess have some friendship."

Fortunately, they didn't talk about their old relationship, otherwise Yang Xuan would have dealt with Sang Yuanxing.

"This matter was just nine days ago!"
