Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 176 The Reinforcement Arrives, But It Looks Stupid

"Subordinates don't know."

"The subordinates don't want to know either!"

Luo Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and then responded quickly.

He became a little flustered, afraid that Fang Yuan would have something against him.

He was curious why Fang Yuan didn't use such a powerful weapon on the battlefield.

But he cared more about his own future, and more about his position in Fang Yuan's heart.

"What happened today, don't tell anyone about it."

"Remember, it's anyone!"

Fang Yuan smiled slightly, exhorted.

There are many reasons for not using explosives on the battlefield.

For example, explosives have little effect on cavalry, and may hurt their own people.

For example, if the explosives appeared in advance, the bandit head might not be able to attract them.

Another example is that Fang Yuan was worried that if the explosives appeared at this time, people would miss him, and he couldn't keep it.

In short, there are many reasons.

But the dynamite will eventually be used.

When the explosion sounded from Fang Yuan's side, both inside and outside Liaozhou City received the signal.

In Fangfu, Juzi, Hongxu, Qingyi, and Liao Fengmao each left with a guard and headed for Sifang City one after another.

Main gate.

After Xu Shihui's mobilization, the city gate has been defended.

The people below have been injured and killed seven or eight times, and they are no longer able to attack the city.

But the city gate is already crumbling, and if you observe carefully, you will be rushed open after a few more waves.

The Eastern Turkic cavalry outside the city stared at the crumbling city gate ready to move, hesitating whether to charge again.

Just at this time, Juzi brought people here.

"As ordered by the governor of Fang, take over here!"

"All of you, please get out of here, one mile away!"

The giant held up Fang Yuan's token, said in a deep voice.

Shoucheng Xiaowei and Xu Shihui were taken aback for a moment, then listened to the order to leave.

Although they didn't know what Juzi was going to do, they knew it was Fang Yuan's token.

At the same time, Fang Yuan also explained to them that someone from Fangfu will come to them at critical moments, just obey orders.

A similar scene happened at the other three city gates, and the guards were replaced by Fangfu's guards one after another.

"Yes!"

Shoucheng Xiaowei and Xu Shihui were ordered to retreat.

The other guards on the city wall also left one after another, retreating with the people.

Everyone was curious why they were asked to leave at this time, when the city gate was about to be broken open.

Seeing this, the Eastern Turkic cavalry outside the city immediately became restless. They rode their horses back and forth, retreating the defenders for some unknown reason.

"Put the explosives!"

"Open the city gate!"

The giant gave the order again.

More than a dozen guards from the Fang Mansion immediately walked towards the city gate.

From the inner city to the city gate, more than a dozen bundled explosives were released.

They are all small explosives, then tied up, the size of an adult's head, and placed on both sides and in the middle of the city wall.

"Do you want to open the city gate?"

"Why do you want to open the city gate?"

"Didn't we just guard the city gate?"

"Master Captain, what's going on, why did you open the city gate?"

The people were shocked.

Xu Shihui, Shoucheng Xiaowei and others were also puzzled.

They looked at Juzi and asked Juzi why, but Juzi asked them to watch.

With a squeak, the almost broken city gate was slowly opened, and people saw the Eastern Turkic cavalry outside the city.

Seeing the Eastern Turkic cavalry staring at them, all the people retreated in panic.

Although there are thousands of them here, almost all of them are unarmed.

Facing hundreds of ferocious Eastern Turkic cavalry, the common people were terrified from the bottom of their hearts.

"You actually opened the city gate?"

"Could it be a scam?"

"Should we kill or not?"

"Kill, a small town can stop our Turkic cavalry?!"

The Eastern Turkic cavalry outside the city were even more restless.

After a little discussion, they decided to enter Liaozhou City.

They have confidence in themselves and look down on the small city of Liaozhou.

"Bah bah bah!!"

The war horse roars, and the hundred horses gallop.

The Eastern Turkic cavalry shouted and rushed into the city.

Xu Shihui, Shoucheng Xiaowei and others couldn't help backing away in fright, looking nervously at Juzi.

"Prepare!"

The giant ordered with a calm expression.

More than a dozen Fangfu guards took out a piece of explosives one after another.

They held dynamite in one hand and lit incense in the other.

The cavalry outside the city rushed into the city and were about to enter the city gate, but those who rushed ahead had already entered the city gate.

"put!"

The giant shouted loudly.

More than a dozen guards in the Fang Mansion immediately ignited the explosives and threw them towards the gate of the city.

At this time, more than a dozen cavalry had already entered the gate of the city, and the leader was about to enter the city.

But at this moment,
"boom!"

A loud explosion sounded.

It was followed by a shocking explosion.

People saw that some cavalry who rushed into the city gate were immediately blown to pieces.

Not only that, but something even more terrifying happened. The city wall collapsed, with the city gate as the center and both sides collapsed.

The huge explosion made everyone look ashamed, and made everyone subconsciously cover their ears. They also felt their ears buzzing and became deaf for a while.

"what!!!"

Screams sounded.

The Eastern Turkic cavalry who entered the range of the explosion were blown up and died terribly.

The Eastern Turkic cavalry who had already rushed into the city were affected by the explosion, and the men and horses fell down and screamed on the ground.

As for the part outside the city, some cavalrymen who couldn't stop their horses slammed into the wall directly, and the men and horses slammed into the collapsed wall, and either died immediately or were seriously injured.

In this explosion, more than [-]% of the Eastern Turkic cavalry died.

Less than [-]% of the remaining East Turks were slightly injured, with disbelief and horror on their faces.

"kill!"

The giant drank loudly.

Take the lead in rushing towards the collapsed city gate.

More than a dozen guards in Fangfu pulled out small Zhuge Liannu to follow.

The remaining Eastern Turkic cavalry had stopped under the collapsed city gate, very densely packed.

It was only when Juzi and others rushed to the collapsed city and shot arrows at them that they slowly came back to their senses.

But it's too late.

They were harvested soon, and before they died, they couldn't believe it when they watched the scene before them.

Not only them.

Even Xu Shihui, Shoucheng Xiaowei and others did not recover.

It was so terrible that the city gate was blown up, and the entire city wall collapsed and became ruins.

What was that thing called just now?
Dynamite?

So small but so powerful!
terrible!

Subvert their cognition!

Almost at the same time, Sifang City's situation was somewhat similar.

Li Danqiu and others had already retreated from the gates on three sides of the city, chasing behind with Luo Dewang and other Eastern Turkic cavalry.

Taking advantage of the horseshoes, the Liaozhou cavalry was a little faster, and when they entered the city, the Eastern Turkic cavalry were chasing behind.

Similar to the operation of Juzi and others, the explosives all blow up the city, kill some cavalry, bury some cavalry, and then use the Eastern Turkic Raiders to shoot them when they are still in shock.

So far, the Eastern Turkic cavalry has been wiped out!

Everything seems to solve East Turkic so quickly, but before that Fang Yuan dare not use this strategy.

Because there are too many thousand riders, most of them would be outside the range of the explosion if they just entered from one city gate, and it would not be able to play such a big role at all.

But now, entering into the Sifang City greatly dispersed the Eastern Turkic cavalry who had already died a lot, so that this plan could be realized and Liaozhou won a complete victory.

The shocking explosion at the Sifang City Gate shook the whole city, thinking that the end was coming.

The aristocratic families who wanted to leave Liaozhou City were terrified and sent people to inquire about the news.

At the same time, a cavalry rushed from the direction of Chang'an City, and reinforcements finally arrived.

"Quick, Liaozhou City is ahead!"

"Speed ​​up this general and leave all the Eastern Turkic cavalry behind!"

"General Yuchi, there were several loud explosions from the direction of Liaozhou City just now, do you want to find out before going?"

Eight hundred cavalry came galloping.

The horse stepped on the ground all the way, the dust billowed, and the momentum was terrifying.

After running for a long time, their determination to kill the East Turks seemed to burst out of their bodies.

"I can't hesitate that much!"

"Now Liaozhou City must be in dire straits, I'll wait and explore as we go!"

Yuchi Jingde shouted loudly.

He rushed towards Liaozhou city without stopping.

For a small city like Liaozhou, the defense is very weak.

The East Turks were killed yesterday, and it is already past noon.

Maybe Liaozhou City has already been captured, and if it is later, the people in Liaozhou City will be slaughtered.

Eight hundred cavalry speeded up, and soon got on the road in Liaozhou, and the speed suddenly became much faster.

Yuchi Jingde and the others were stunned for a moment, secretly shocked in their hearts, what kind of road is this gray-white road under their feet?

Not long after, Yuchi Jingde and others slowly approached Liaozhou City, and finally saw the situation in Liaozhou City.

But after seeing the situation clearly, Yuchi Jingde and the others were shocked.

"General Yuchi, the city gate of Liaozhou has collapsed?!"

Everyone couldn't believe it.

But this is indeed the case.

What kind of situation would cause the city gate to collapse?
Yuchi Jingde didn't speak.

Because he doesn't know what happened.

He could only speed up even more and rode his horse towards Liaozhou City.

In the end, Yuchi Jingde and others finally arrived at the gate of Liaozhou city and saw the situation clearly.

Sure enough, the city gate collapsed, and the walls on both sides of the city gate also collapsed a lot, completely blocking the entrance.

Juzi and others stood on top of the ruins.

Xu Shihui, Shoucheng Xiaowei and many other people have also stood on the ruins.

They were too curious about what happened just now, and they also wanted to know how the situation outside the city was. Have the East Turkic cavalry been killed?
But Juzi only said that no cavalry escaped, and then he didn't explain anything else, and finally saw the arrival of reinforcements.

The long-awaited reinforcements finally arrived.

But Xu Shihui and others felt very complicated.

Because, it seems that their support is no longer needed.

"I am Yuchi Jingde."

"Who is in front, report the situation quickly!"

Yuchi Jingde reined in his horse, shouted and asked.

He was greatly shocked by the situation before him, and had some guesses in his mind.

Because there are many cavalry corpses on the ground, some were shot and some were crushed to death.

It is estimated that the guards of Liaozhou took advantage of the collapse of the city gate and smashed these Eastern Turkic cavalry to death.

I just heard that there are a thousand Eastern Turkic cavalry, how much can one city solve?

"Cao Min's deputy commander, Xu Shihui, pays his respects to General Yuchi."

"From Liaozhou to the governor, to the common people, all participated in the battle, and all the Eastern Turkic cavalry has been wiped out!"

Xu Shihui and the Shoucheng school lieutenant walked out and saluted Yuchi respectfully.

Knowing that it was Yuchi Jingde, the people on the ruins saluted Yuchi Jingde one after another.

Yuchi Jingde has a great reputation, he is Wu Guogong, and his status is respected.

"All wiped out?!"

Yuchi Jingde exclaimed.

He couldn't calm down, thinking he had heard wrong.

Not only him, but the cavalry behind him also became restless.

Eastern Turks have thousands of cavalry, and their eight hundred cavalry dare not say that they can win.

It's entirely because the imperial court really couldn't send more cavalry to support it. Eight hundred is already the limit.

And these [-] cavalry, they dare not say that they can win the East Turks, let alone wipe them out.

"Yes, General!"

Xu Shihui and others suddenly felt a kind of pride.

A kind of pride after winning, the pride of being a Liaozhou native.

Not only him, but also the captain who guarded the city, the soldiers who volunteered to join the army, the people present and so on, all had this kind of pride.

A well-known general from Chang'an City was so shocked, this is the shock of their Liaozhou people.

"Liao, where's the governor of Liaozhou?!"

Yuchi Jingde still couldn't believe it.

It's just that the people in front of him all looked proud, and he had no intention of continuing to ask.

He thought that the emperor told him to protect Fang Yuan before coming, so when he thinks of Fang Yuan at this time, he can ask Fang Yuan the real reason.

"Fang Shishi"

Xu Shihui and the others immediately showed worried expressions.

The pride just now dissipated slowly, and the rest was all worry.

The reason why this war can be won depends entirely on Fang Yuan's strategy.

But now there is no news about Fang Yuan.
"Look, it's Lord Inspector!"

Suddenly, a commoner standing on the ruins pointed in one direction and shouted excitedly.

Everyone immediately looked in the direction he pointed, and saw Fang Yuan lying on a stretcher being carried back.

"Lord Inspector!"

"It's Lord Inspector!"

"Brothers, it's Lord Inspector!"

"Victory, we are victorious!"

The common people shouted excitedly and ran towards Fang Yuan spontaneously.

At this time, because of the explosion, thousands of people in the city walked out of their homes.

They all saw the city gate collapsed into ruins, but the ruins were full of people, and they could not go up.

After hearing Fang Yuan and victory, the common people shouted excitedly, seeing the people on the ruins running away, more common people walked up the ruins and ran towards Fang Yuan.

"Lord Inspector!"

"Lord Inspector!"

More people walked towards Fang Yuan.

Surrounding Fang Yuan circle after circle, thousands of people surrounded Fang Yuan in a moment.

But when the common people saw that Fang Yuan was covered in blood, his clothes were tattered, and there were many scars on his body, their excitement turned into sadness, and their eyes turned red.

"Folks, I'm fine, don't be sad!"

"Our victory in Liaozhou is the pride of all of us in Liaozhou!"

Fang Yuan said weakly.

He wanted to struggle to get up, but his whole body hurt when he moved.

"Lord Inspector, don't move."

"You can see that several bones are broken, and you must treat them immediately, otherwise there will be sequelae."

"Quick, get out of the way, everyone, don't delay Lord Inspector's treatment!"

In the crowd, a commoner turned pale with shock.

Everyone looked at him and immediately recognized him as a doctor in the city.

His eyes became redder immediately, and he hurriedly made way for Luo Zheng and the others who were carrying Fang Yuan.

"General, do we want to stop Fang Inspector?!"

The deputy general of the reinforcements asked hesitantly.

After many years of marching and fighting, you can actually tell how much you are really injured.

As a lieutenant general, he could see that Fang Yuan was not lying, but was really injured, and he had gone through a life-and-death battle.

"Wait a minute."

"Go to the Governor's Mansion!"

Yuchi Jingde pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice.

It is not necessary to ask Fang Yuan whether it is a real victory.

As the center of power in Liaozhou, the governor's mansion is fine to ask there.

In fact, at this time the officials of Liaozhou city had already welcomed Fang Yuan's return in the inner city.

They have learned the conditions of the war, and know that victory in this war is theirs.

Not only the officials from the governor's office and others arrived, but also representatives of some aristocratic families rushed to the scene.

At this time, almost everyone in the whole process knew that under Fang Yuan's leadership, they won a big victory in Liaozhou!
"The next official pays homage to Lord Inspector!"

Zhang San and the others bowed to salute.

"Zhang San, write your pen and report it to the court as soon as possible, and give credit to every brother who participated in the war."

"Yang Sina, please go out of the ruins of the city gate and inform the four counties that the crisis in Liaozhou has been lifted."

"Liu Wenshi, welcome the imperial reinforcements, don't neglect."

Fang Yuan slowly issued an order.

"Yes!"

Everyone should be, the voice is extremely loud.

I don't know if it's because Zhang San and others responded too loudly, or Fang Yuan was too tired.

After they met, Fang Yuan only felt his eyes go dark and passed out.

"Zhou Zun?!"

"Master Inspector?!"

"Hurry up, send it back to Fangfu, and ask all the doctors to treat him!"

Zhang San and the others were shocked.

Immediately send Fang Yuan away as quickly as possible.

Seeing more people at the scene, tears were about to fall.

They are proud in their hearts, proud that they have such a governor in Liaozhou.

Yuchi Jingde had already climbed up the ruins, looking at Fang Yuan and the others from above.

But when he saw Fang Yuan passed out, he immediately admired Fang Yuan.

The Imperial Palace of Chang'an City.

It has been three days since the imperial court sent reinforcements.

For the cavalry, three days is already a very long time.

During these three days, it is possible to slaughter a city and then flee to other places.

Therefore, Li Shimin walked up and down in the imperial study in a hurry, asking people to inquire about the situation in Liaozhou again and again.

If the city of Liaozhou is breached, the people of Liaozhou will be tortured and killed, and the Eastern Turkic cavalry will go to other places.

The more places are harmed by the Eastern Turkic cavalry, the more people will feel that the court is incompetent and that they are incompetent.

It has only been three years since the Xuanwumen Incident, and the Eastern Turkic War has not yet ended. Many people still rebel against the new dynasty and do not recognize him as the emperor.

"Report, Liaozhou urgent report!"

Just at this time, soldiers from outside the hall came in quickly.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Li Shimin was so nervous that his hands trembled.

But he remained calm in front of the messenger soldier and took the urgent report.

[Liaozhou Great Victory, Inspector Fang Yuan organized the cavalry to fight fiercely with the Eastern Turkic Thousand Cavalry, annihilating all the Eastern Turkic Thousand Cavalry! 】

The first sentence of the urgent report said the main point, telling Li Shimin the final result of Liaozhou.

The following is the detailed battle report, which records who contributed how much, etc., as well as the battle plan, etc., all written in great detail.

But the first sentence has already made Li Shimin very excited, and he has no intention of reading it.

"Good, good, good!"

"As expected of my virtuous minister Ying Meng!"

"Come here, pass on the news to You Pushe and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials!"

Li Shimin ordered excitedly.

He wants to reward Fang Yuan, a big reward.
