The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 154 The Death of Wuzhou ([-])

On the side of Wuzhou city.

In the quiet and dark mountains, only the chirping of small insects can be heard.Stepping on the fallen leaves with one foot deep and one shallow, there will be a creaking sound of splashing water.The cloth shoes were quickly soaked by stagnant water.

Under such circumstances, hundreds of martial arts priests under Kong Yuan's tent rushed towards the water village.

Some of them are disciples of sects, while others are rangers.Although most of the disciples of the sect pretended to come to the battlefield for training, they actually came here for money.If the knights of the Jianghu want to survive in the territory of the Yuan Dynasty, and the martial arts sects want to flourish in the territory of the Yuan Dynasty, they can only rely on the Yuan Dynasty court and serve the court.

No matter how strong the sect is, it cannot do anything against the country.Xiulinbao is an example.

All these priests walked vigorously, even in the dark, they moved extremely fast.

When encountering a steep cliff that is difficult to climb, they throw up the flying claws they carry with them, and then climb up along the rope.

In this way, in just 10 minutes, they have arrived around the water village.

Under the moonlight, the lake surface in front of the water village is rippling slightly, reflecting the faint reflection of the water village.

The water village is also indistinct in the night, like a giant beast.

Around ten meters around the water village, all the trees have been cut down to clear a large open space.

Hundreds of people made offerings to the edge of the open space and squatted down in the woods.Because there were sentries from the Anti-Yuan Army standing guard in the open space ahead.

It wasn't until the sentries walked past them with their backs turned that they suddenly moved.

Dozens of arrows were shot from the dying, and before the sentries had time to react, they were shot to the ground one after another.

Then hundreds of people jumped up at the same time and rushed towards the water village.

According to the Yuan general who attacked the water village during the day, there should be no more than two thousand Song troops guarding the water village.With the strength of their hundreds of priests, against a mere [-] soldiers, and attacking the camp in the dark, there is a great hope that they can take down the water fortress.

These offerings, no one thinks this is a very dangerous task.Kong Yuan sent them to seize the village, mostly because they were able to climb those cliffs.

But they never expected that just after running to the middle of the open space, countless torches suddenly lit up on the water village.

Then, the torches all ran towards them.

"There is an ambush!"

Someone screamed.

But it was too late.

I could only hear the sound of countless strings above the water village, and countless crossbow arrows and feather arrows shot out of the water village in the night, and fell straight to the group of worshipers of the Yuan army.

"what……"

There were screams.

Not everyone knows the skill of listening to the sound and distinguishing the position. The arrow feathers can't be seen in the night, even if these priests are very skilled, they can't resist it.

As soon as they fought, they suffered heavy losses.

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

Someone shouted in panic.

They were not willing to sacrifice their lives for the Yuan army in vain, and immediately many people turned around and ran towards the jungle.

As offerings, they can only be of great use when they are caught by surprise, but right now, the Song army is obviously prepared, and rushing up is just to die.

But they ran, but Song Jun's arrows did not stop.

After several rounds of arrow rain, until no more screams were heard in the night, the general of the Anti-Yuan Army standing on the water village waved, "Stop!"

More than a thousand soldiers stopped shooting arrows, but still looked in the direction of the open space.

The torch broke the night and fell from the sky to the ground.There were no longer standing people in the open space, only many black-clothed corpses lying on the ground.

The general waved his hand, and dozens of soldiers ran up to inspect the enshrined corpses.When encountering someone who is not completely out of breath, he will take two shots and give it a good time.

In Wuzhou City, Wan Yanzhang was still awake in the barracks, and soon learned of the news.

Qin Han was also in the tent. When Wanyanzhang heard the scout's report, he immediately looked at Qin Han with extremely surprised eyes, "How do you know they will fetch water?"

"Do not."

Qin Han shook his head slightly and said, "I also set up ambushes at the four city gates..."

He seemed to be in a good mood, and it was rare for him to point out Wan Yanzhang, "Warfighters are nothing more than estimating the possible actions of the enemy army as much as possible."

Wanyanzhang nodded thoughtfully, pondered for a while, and said, "Then Wuzhou City was destroyed, do you have an estimate?"

"No."

Qin Han said: "This is a dead end. Only when the emperor drives Ali Haiya to extinction can we come back from the dead. We will revive the dead end."

Wan Yanzhang had a complicated expression, "Why did you single out our Anti-Yuan army as this pawn?"

Qin Han looked indifferent, "Because you have the least weight in the emperor's heart, even if you die, the emperor will not blame me too much."

"Haha! Good! Wow!"

Wan Yanzhang burst into laughter when he heard the words, and pointed at Qin Han, "Military teacher, you are really a villain!"

But there was not much anger on his face, only helplessness and determination.

Qin Han is right, he is a surrendered general, and all the Jurchen soldiers under his command are surrendered soldiers.Only they can make this pawn.

Wuzhou is an unshakable dead chess game in Guangxi and Guangdong.For their anti-Yuan army, it is also a dead game.

If the city is broken, the Anti-Yuan army will probably die out from then on.And if they can get the emperor to help them, they will be able to gain the trust of the emperor.

Put them to death and then live, they are now in death, whether they can live or not is up to fate.

And being called a "true villain" by Wan Yanzhang, Qin Han didn't mind at all.Even if time goes back, he is afraid that he will still choose this way.

Not long after, those martial arts worshipers also returned to Kong Yuan's account.

Judging by the number of people, more than half of them have been lost.

After hearing their report, Kong Yuan didn't blame them, he just sighed softly, "Except for Wan Yanzhang, I'm afraid there are still capable people in Wuzhou..."

He was a general in the same dynasty as Wanyanzhang, so he still knew a little about Wanyanzhang.Wanyanzhang was born in the Jurchen clan. He was known for being brave and good at attacking tough situations, but he lacked strategy and was not good at defending. It was impossible to make such a strict arrangement.

The sky was getting brighter.

This is the second day when Kong Yuan's army arrived at the city of Wuzhou.

After rectification, the Song army in Lipu County was reorganized. Except for [-] soldiers who were left to guard the surrendered soldiers, all the former Southern Song soldiers who had suffered a stroke were taken out of the city to pursue Ali Haiya's troops.

Both sides are racing against each other.

Kong Yuan's army attacked the city again at dawn.

The city walls and water fortresses of Wuzhou City were well-defended. Kong Yuan could not find many flaws, and seemed to intend to break through the city with brute force.

In the large formation of the Yuan army, no siege engines were seen, but catapults, ladders, etc. were pushed out.

The city wall of Wuzhou City was only more than a hundred meters long. When the drums sounded, tens of thousands of troops attacked the city at the same time shouting and killing.

The shield soldiers in the front row quickly ran down the city, followed by the ladder troops, and the soldiers in the rear marched slowly in a phalanx.

The catapults on both sides are constantly throwing stone bombs.

Huge stones hit the city wall, causing bricks to fly.

The crossbow arrows roared out from the top of the city, piercing through many shield soldiers of the Yuan army, including their shields and belts, and the strong impact drove the corpses several meters away.

When the Yuan army got closer, dense arrow feathers fell again.

However, some soldiers hung wet straw with ropes, poured kerosene on it, lit it and let it go down the city.

Soon the city was filled with smoke.

The Yuan army who attacked the city was choked by the thick smoke and burst into tears, coughing continuously, and their formation was in chaos.

But in the end they had a large number of people, and in the end they rushed through the rain of arrows and arrived at the city.

The shield soldiers raised their shields above their heads to block the arrows, and the phalanx of archers stood in the thick fog and shot arrows upwards, reciprocating.

There was an arrow shot by the Song army, who screamed and fell to the top of the city with the stone.

The unlucky Yuan army below was knocked to the ground by Lian Dun and his men.

On the ladder carts that were pushed to the front of the city, there were many archers of the Yuan army standing there, and they all shot arrows at the city wall.

But the city wall of Wuzhou is extremely high, even if it is a ladder cart, it is still halfway from the top of the city.

The Song army was condescending, and the arrows were more powerful. As the feather arrows flew, they kept shooting down the Yuan army on the ladder car.

The battle has only just begun, and it seems to be entering a fever pitch.

Under the deterrence of the arrow array below, the anti-Yuan army on the city suddenly felt the pressure, and soldiers or civilians kept falling to the ground with arrows.

Wan Yanzhang was sullen, but there was no one to adjust at this time.At the water fortress, the warships of the Yuan army were also attacking, and there were no extra soldiers to come over.

There are less than [-] soldiers at the city wall and the Qinglong and Baihu villages on both sides. Even if there are thousands of people helping, it seems a bit stretched.

The Yuan army relied on its superiority in strength to break through cleverness, even Qin Han had no way out.

He was sitting in the corner, silently looking at the book of war, and never had the intention of opening his mouth.

Wanyanzhang could only call out to the soldiers, "Block them! Stop them!"

All the weapons that can be used on the top of the city have been used.

Soon, countless Yuan troops fell under the city.But on the top of the city, the Song army and the common people suffered serious damage gradually.

Most of them died under the arrows of the Yuan army.

The soldiers on both sides have killed red eyes.

The Yuan army stopped no more than a hundred meters outside the city, and each time ten square formations attacked the city in turn.

The shouting and killing continued for a long time.

The soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty fought to the death and never retreated.

In this way, it was not until the evening that there was the sound of gold ringing in the Yuan army, and the Yuan army that attacked the city retreated slowly.

On the city wall, there are stones, arrows, and scattered corpses everywhere.

After defending the city for one day, most of the Song army on the city wall was lost.

The surviving soldiers hurriedly took out their dry food and swallowed it. Some even choked to death because they ate too fast.

Under the city, the loss of the Yuan army was several times that of the Song army.

Siege is always at a disadvantage, otherwise there would be no such thing as five times the attack.

Qin Han sat silently in the corner for a day, until this time he suddenly got up and said to Wan Yanzhang, "Qinglong and Baihu villages will send 1000 people each, 1000 people will guard the city, and the other 1000 people will guard the water village."

After that, he walked down the city wall on his own.

Wan Yanzhang looked at the scattered corpses on the top of the wall, his tiger eyes turned red.

These are the sons of their Jurchen clan.

After being dazed for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said to the side guard: "The general's order is passed on!"
