Jian Sui Daye

Chapter [-]: Breaking the City

Jinzhou, Pingyang City.

More than a mile away from the city, a three-meter-high platform was built. The fat Gao Yanzong was standing under a parasol on the platform, looking angrily at the dilapidated Jinyang City inside and outside, and at the city leader A veteran under the banner resolutely stood like a pine and cypress, and shouted: "Liang Shiyan, Yu Wenyong has withdrawn to Chang'an and abandoned you, you old man, don't you want to surrender?"

Liang Shiyan, whose characters are similar, is one of the great generals of the Zhu Kingdom in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. If it is said that Yang Jian's titles and titles are mostly inherited from his father, then Liang Shiyan's official titles were obtained in exchange for actual military achievements.

When Yu Wenyong withdrew the army, he was able to entrust him with the important task of guarding Jinzhou. Obviously, he took a fancy to this veteran general's steady and steady temperament, and only a veteran like him who has been honed by blood and fire can complete this arduous task.

Liang Shiyan did not disappoint Yu Wenyong either. For three days, no matter how fiercely Gao Yanzong's [-] troops attacked, Pingyang City was still in the hands of Zhou Jun, and Liang Shiyan was still standing on the wall full of energy, without the slightest fear.

"Fatty Gao, attack the city if you have the ability, don't make noise and howl below," Liang Shiyan said while looking at Gao Yanzong with disdain.

"Old man, you are looking for death on your own. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance." Gao Yanzong was trembling with anger, his eyes were about to split, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Attack, attack in an all-round way, we must conquer Pingyang before evening!" city,"

"Boom, boom, boom,"

The dull war drum pierced the silence of the morning, and the chilling atmosphere once again shrouded the decadent and dilapidated Pingyang City.

"Kill,"

Following Gao Yanzong's order, the 3 Northern Qi soldiers quickly moved into action. After three days of fighting, only [-] of the [-] Qi army still have combat effectiveness. Such a heavy casualty shows the brutality of the war between the two sides.

The catapult let out a roar and threw the big stones towards the city wall. The sword and shield hands roared angrily. People are a little numb, and anyone who is in such an environment for three consecutive days will be immune to this sound.

"Archers get ready," Liang Shiyan looked at the swarming Qi army and let the Qi army's catapults bombard the Pingyang City under his feet. When the army entered the range of the archers, he shouted coldly: "Let go!"

Although because of Gao Wei's perverse actions and officials' corruption, the people's support in the Northern Qi Dynasty has lost a lot, but Zhou Jun's desire to completely digest Pingyang City cannot be achieved in a short time. In order to stabilize the people's support, Liang Shiyan had to spend a lot of money and food to help the common people , plus the consumption of these three days, it can be said that there are not many materials hoarded in Pingyang City, so Liang Shiyan must use every strength to the extreme.

"whoosh whoosh,"

Sporadic rain of arrows shot down from the top of the city. Although it was sparse, the lethality was still huge. Under Zhou Jun's deliberate action, all the arrows went towards the soldiers of the Qi army who were carrying the ladder and hit the city cart.

"Puff puff,"

The sharp arrows mercilessly pierced through the flesh of the soldiers of the Qi army, causing their running figures to fall to the ground fiercely, and the siege equipment in their hands also fell to the ground.

"Kill,"

Although every ladder will go through hardships before reaching the top of Pingyang City, but in the face of Gao Yanzong's ruthless and tyrannical butcher knife, the soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty also burst out with amazing courage, and rushed forward one after another, crazily rushing towards Pingyang City.

They know that only by attacking Pingyang City and winning the final victory can they survive and live the life they dreamed of, but fleeing and retreating, the only thing waiting for them is death. All he wants is the result, only Pingyang City.

Although Xu Song was exhausted and dizzy after three days of continuous fighting, he still tenaciously held the weapon in his hand and squeezed a little bit of strength from his dry body. For the pride of the soldier, the wife at home Son.

"Go to hell,"

Xu Song's voice was already hoarse like a mad beast, his red and swollen eyes seemed to be bleeding, but the steel knife in his hand was still swiftly slashing at the chest and abdomen of a Qi soldier who had just climbed up to the top of the wall.

With a sound of "hissing", the thin leather armor was torn apart, and at the same time, the abdominal cavity of the Qi soldier was also torn. Red blood and light yellow grease slipped out of the wound, which was so hideous and disgusting. But on this tragic battlefield, there are purgatory everywhere, and everyone's hearts are as cold, hard and numb as iron stone.

"bump,"

Xu Song smiled cruelly, and kicked the screaming Qi Jun out of the city wall. Although Pingyang City collapsed a lot with the three days of fierce war, it was only seven or eight meters high, but it was enough to put the seriously injured Qi Jun was smashed into meat sauce.

However, before Xu Song was complacent about killing the enemy, a Qi soldier slashed viciously at his leg.

"Ah," Xu Song screamed, staggered back a few steps, knelt down on one knee, his pale face was covered with sweat due to the pain, and his already heavy breathing became even more rapid.

"Go to hell, bandit Zhou," Qi Jun roared pitifully when he gained power, his face was as ferocious as a mad beast, and he once again rushed towards Xu Song ferociously.

"Don't even think about it," Xu Song growled angrily, his hair ruthless, he stood up abruptly, and swung the slightly curled steel knife fiercely forward.

"puff,"

When it hit, Xu Song was overjoyed, but then his whole body was shaken, and he looked down in disbelief, and saw a bright steel knife embedded in his chest, the gurgling blood was so dazzling.

"Yeah," Xu Song gasped with difficulty, roared fiercely, and pulled out the steel knife that had been cut on the enemy's shoulders and necks forcefully. Because of the excessive strength, he also fell backwards.

"Boom,"

Although he fell straight to the ground, Xu Song didn't feel any pain. He felt the strength in his body go away. Looking at the hazy sky, he sighed silently and slowly closed his eyes. When the darkness came, there was no resentment or anger in his eyes, but only nostalgia and relief.

Although the Qi soldiers did not die on the spot, they were also seriously injured. However, before he could dodge, a Zhou army who filled Xu Song's position mercilessly ended his life.

The same thing happened everywhere in Pingyang City. For their own purposes and beliefs, the battle between the Zhou army and the Qi army had reached a fierce stage. Countless people fell down every moment, but there were also countless people joining.

The corpses were all over the field, and the blood flowed into rivers.

Without bows and arrows, rolling wood and thunder stones, Zhou Jun demolished the houses in the city and replaced them with beams and rafters. At noon, a raging fire ignited under the city of Pingyang, and thick smoke like ink billowed on the top of the city. The air is filled with the smell of barbecue.

"Quick, quick, quicker,"

"Soldiers, today is our death day, but I will definitely die before you," Liang Shiyan said. Although he was nearly sixty years old, the strength in his arms was definitely not small, and the sword at his waist danced vigorously.

Although there are still nearly 1 people left in the city, including the Qi army that surrendered to Zhou, Liang Shiyan's heart is getting heavier and heavier looking at the crumbling Pingyang City.

"kill,"

Liang Shiyan took the lead, which aroused the belief of the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty that they must win. Everyone was brave and tragic, and they fought fiercely. offensive.

"Idiots, idiots, all are idiots," Gao Yanzong was furious as he watched the retreating Qi army, and shouted loudly, stomping on the wooden floor with his strong feet.

"Beat the drum, charge forward, you must rush in before sunset, otherwise you will all be brought to see the king,"

All Qi generals dared not speak out, and could only vent all their anger on ordinary soldiers, urging and cursing, preparing for the next round of attack.

……

"Folks, the foolish ruler Gao Wei has no morals, connives treacherous officials and corrupt officials to do whatever they want, and bullies us wantonly. My emperor is a man of great talent and kindness, and he can't bear the suffering of the people of Qi. Therefore, he sent troops to attack Qi and save the people from the fire and water."

"Nowadays, Gao Wei is coming to attack. Only by repelling him can we no longer endure the bullying of the tyrant and live a stable and prosperous life. Fathers are kind and sons are filial, and neighborly dating is no longer empty talk. Although Gao Yanzong outside the city is arrogant and arrogant. , but as long as we survive tomorrow, our emperor’s reinforcements will arrive, and by then, the siege of the Qi army will naturally be resolved.”

"Folks, I, Liang Shiyan, made an oath that day that I would live and die with Pingyang. Folks, for the sake of our children and grandchildren not to be oppressed by foolish rulers and courtiers, and for myself to live a prosperous life, I implore you to work together with me, against the Qi army,"

"Folks, I beg you," Liang Shiyan said, before kneeling on the ground.

"My lord, general," all the soldiers and civilians in Pingyang City exclaimed, and many of them burst into tears, not only worried about the fate of Pingyang City, but also shocked and moved by Liang Shiyan's actions.

"Swear to live and die with Pingyang, swear to live and die with the general, overthrow the tyranny, and bring down the dog emperor,"

At first, there were only sporadic shouts, but soon they became one, like waves, one wave higher than the other.

Hearing the chilling sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking coming from the city, and feeling the high morale of Pingyang City, Gao Yanzong's fair and fat face almost turned black and blue, "Attack, attack, step on this king! Ping Pingyang, wipe out all rebellious officials and thieves, "

"kill,"

As the Qi army roared in unison, the war started again. Under the pressure of Gao Yanzong, the Qi army's attack became even more frenzied, while the Zhou army's last stand and the battle of trapped beasts became even more tragic.

"Boom,"

When night fell, with a loud noise like thunder, the not so majestic Pingyang City could no longer withstand the onslaught of the Qi army, was dug down by the Qi army, and collapsed with a bang.

"Hey," Qi Jun suddenly burst into applause, and everyone was as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. They threw off their legs and rushed into the city. Gao Yanzong was also very happy, and was about to order his guards to escort him into the city. However, Gao Wei's order suddenly came from the rear: the army is temporarily suspended, waiting for the emperor to come and break the city,
