Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Dian Wei squinted his eyes. He didn't know if what the old man said was true or not. However, Li Yi had explained it before in a similar situation, and said immediately: "Since Zheng Bao is no longer there, you can open the door and let me lead the army." Go in and search, and if it is confirmed that Zheng Bao and the other criminals are no longer among them, my lord will not harm the innocent."

"This"

The old man hesitated for a moment, and said: "It's dangerous, the streets of the earthen castle are narrow, I'm afraid it won't be able to accommodate large troops, and the peasants in the countryside don't know much, so I'm afraid they will be rude when they meet the Marquis Xiang, so please forgive me, General."

Dian Wei laughed loudly, pulled the reins, retreated a few steps, and shouted to the top of the wall: "My lord is merciful, the opportunity has been given to you, but you don't know what to do, you want to die, no one else is to blame!"

After Dian Wei finished speaking, he rode his horse and ran back to Li Yi. The young and strong on the dirt wall looked at me and I looked at you, each of them was extremely nervous, and the old man was full of bitterness, but he couldn't help it. What if he gave birth to an uneasy son?

After Dian Wei retreated to the army formation, Li Yi came out on horseback Shi Shiran, but he did not rush forward, but turned his head and smiled at the soldiers in the army formation: "That general is willing to be the first to climb up for me. Break down the city gate?"

"The end will be willing to go!"

"The end will fight!"

"My lord, please order!"

As Li Yi's voice fell, even if there were many generals and schools asking for a fight, after all, it was obvious that they were bullying soft persimmons today, and they had to be active to take credit.

Li Yi nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Very good, very good, you are all elite soldiers, and it is no problem to break the city, but the Shouchun battle has just passed, and the soldiers are also exhausted, so today's Although the battle is still to be fought, there is no need for everyone to fight at the gate of the city."

All the soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't understand what Li Yi meant. They were told to attack the city, but they were not allowed to attack the city gate. How should this battle be fought?

Seeing that all the soldiers were confused, Li Yi laughed and said, "Get ready and watch me break the city myself!"

After all, Li Yi beckoned, when even three hundred archers came out, surrounded by Li Yi, and at the same time, there were six strong men with bare upper body, working together to lift a bowl about Zhang Xu long, with a thick mouth and a shape of Something like a pounding pestle stood behind Li Yi.

"go ahead!"

With a soft drink, Li Yi urged the horses to move, and slowly approached the fortress with these men and horses. The old man on the top of the city was not sure of his respect when he saw this. He guessed that the person coming was Li Yi, and he was nervous, but Li Yi Most of the people Yi led were archers, and there were no more than a dozen pawns. This was not a siege formation at all. For a while, he didn't know whether he should continue to wait and see, or directly order to release arrows.

Just as the old man was hesitating, Li Yi had already arrived at the base of the city. Following Dian Wei's command, three hundred archers opened their bows in unison, aiming at the young and strong men at the top of the city, but they didn't shoot. Naturally, there were archers on the top of the city, but The number was much smaller, and they just snapped their bows when they saw this, but they didn't dare to take the lead when Li Yi didn't make the first move.

Regardless of the confrontation between the two sides, Li Yi turned over and dismounted on his own, and then put his hand into a groove in the "pounding pestle". With a little force, the weapon that originally required six people to work together to carry it away was held in this way. Li Yi raised it with one hand.

Chapter 570

"What is Li Xianghou going to do?"

"What kind of weapon is in his hand?"

"Hiss, even if that thing is made of wood, it should weigh tens of catties. It's so strong!"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, even if he has supernatural power, I'll stand behind the earthen wall, so I won't be afraid!"

Seeing Li Yi's actions, the young and strong people on the dirt wall couldn't help talking, but none of them could guess what Li Yi was going to do.

Zheng Bao's father even leaned out half of his body, looking at Li Yi in surprise and puzzlement, without blinking his eyes.

"Hey!"

Li Yi chuckled lightly, and weighed the "pounding medicine pestle" in his hand. Although the shape was gilded by the phoenix wings, and even the shape was a bit evil, the weight was quite strong!

Dian Wei's eyes were full of admiration. He had tried the iron pestle in Li Yi's hand, but he could barely resist it. It was absolutely impossible to hold it with one hand like Li Yi did.

The soldiers behind Li Yi were even more admiring. At this time, Li Yi was like a god in their eyes, because apart from gods, who could have such inhuman power?

That is to say, Li Yi issued a military order before, asking them to keep an eye on the archers at the top of the city to prevent anyone from shooting cold arrows at Li Yi, otherwise these soldiers would have knelt down and worshiped Li Yi.

Under the two completely different eyes from the front and the back, Li Yi took a giant iron pestle and took a step forward slowly, with his feet slightly bent, and then with a whistling sound, the whole person suddenly jumped forward, holding the iron pestle high with both hands , crossed the suspension bridge, and smashed hard towards the gate of the earth castle.

Everyone on the earthen wall was stunned. Although they didn't know the weight of the iron pestle, they just looked at its appearance. It was not difficult to judge with intuition that the weight of the thing was definitely quite a lot. Li Yi could just pick it up and jump over the suspension bridge , which is simply unimaginable.

It's just that the people on the dirt wall don't know that this so-called unimaginable is actually just the beginning.

"break!"

In mid-air, Li Yi yelled again, and the raised iron rod swung forward violently, landing above the gate of the earthen castle.

Seeing this, someone on the dirt wall couldn't help but sneered, only when Li Yi slammed the door too hard and hit the wall, even some of Li Yi's subordinates wondered if Li Yi missed it.

However, after the iron pestle fell on the earth wall, Li Yi's movements did not stop, only a bang was heard, and the earth wall on the gate was cracked under the attack of the iron rod, and then in an instant, The gap was getting bigger and bigger, and then the iron pestle went down, broke through the earthen wall, and landed on the gate.

Although the gate was thick, it was only made of ordinary wood. Under the impact of the iron pestle, it split open in all directions, creating a large cloud of dust and smoke.

It's troublesome to say, but in fact it only took less than one breath for Li Yi to make a move. However, in the eyes of everyone, this moment seemed to be the end of the scene. Everyone stared blankly at the gate of the earth castle, wondering How powerful is Li Yi's blow?

As the dust and smoke gradually dissipated, Li Yi's figure reappeared in everyone's field of vision. At this time, Li Yi's appearance was really not good. The smoke and dust from the cracked earth wall and gate made him covered with dust. No one felt that Li Yi was embarrassed, but felt that this figure was extremely tall, because the gate of the earth castle was already open at this time, not to mention that the previous gate was gone, and even the gate had been widened and heightened a lot. A young man guarding the gate, but they were all dumbfounded at this moment, staring blankly at the figure standing outside, as if they were thinking about whether this person was a man or a god.

"The city is broken, run!"

"I will surrender, and the Marquis of Xiang will spare my life."

"No, it's the earth dragon turning over, it's the earth dragon turning over!"

I don't know how long it has passed, a person on the earthen wall suddenly exclaimed, and then it was as if water was poured into hot oil. They simply knelt down and begged Li Yi to surrender, and some people didn't know if they were frightened and stupid, and they took the movement just now as an earth dragon turning over.

The top of the city was in chaos, and the morale of the army collapsed. Zheng Bao's father didn't know whether his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up because of Li Yi's breaking the door, or it was for some other reason. In short, he couldn't be seen from the top of the city. This person is gone.

Compared with them, Li Yi's side was boosted with morale. Wei Yan, who was behind the formation, shouted, and even if there were two schools of infantry, they rushed straight to the city gate. Snipe at some young men who still want to resist at the corner of the earth wall, and use arrows to drive away those young men who are stunned at the gate of the city, clearing the way for the infantry to advance.

Listening to the sound of war drums, Li Yi waved the iron pestle again, only to hear a bang, and the suspension bridge fell, so that the subsequent infantry attacks would no longer be hindered.

At this point, Li Yi's task was completed, and he walked back to the formation like a leisurely stroll. However, he walked easily, and the soldiers around him looked at him with admiration, shouting "mighty", and the morale of the whole army soaring.

Li Yi just smiled slightly, looking calm, but the more he was like this, the more fanatical the soldiers became. Li Yi felt that if numbers were used to represent the combat power of soldiers and horses, the original combat power of his soldiers and horses was counted. Fifty, at least eighty now, not to mention just an inconspicuous earthen fortress in front of him, even in the face of Xiliang's elite, these soldiers and horses will not be defeated in a battle against them.

Li Yi walked back to the army formation slowly, Lu Su stepped forward quickly, bowed to the bottom, and said loudly: "My lord is invincible, I am willing to die for my lord!"

With Lu Su taking the lead, the soldiers behind the formation also bowed down one after another: "My lord is invincible, I am willing to die for my lord!"

Li Yi laughed, and stretched out his hands to support him: "Everyone, I have supernatural power, but if I want to be victorious in all battles and conquer disobedient ministers, I need everyone to work together!"

"I am willing to die for my lord!"

Everyone shouted in unison again, the voice almost went straight to the sky, Li Yi's heart was boiling with blood, all the pawns who charged forward were desperately moving forward, for fear of being one step behind others, but when everyone in Tubao heard it, they were extremely frightened and their faces were ashen-colored , after Li Yi broke the city gate, they already knew that it was unstoppable, and they had no intention of resisting at all. Now they can only pray that Li Yi will not really kill them all.

Encouraging all the soldiers, Li Yi sat on the horseback with a calm expression, watching the one-sided battle in front of the bunker, but he was very happy in his heart, because his strategic goal was successfully achieved.

In this battle, Li Yi brought 5000 people to attack Zheng Bao. The victory is certain. Therefore, victory itself is not Li Yi's biggest goal. Li Yi has two real goals, one is to demonstrate to the aristocratic family, The other is to control the mind of the army.

Leaving aside the first one for now, the second point is a problem that Li Yi urgently needs to solve now.

From Li Yi's entry into Yangzhou, he won consecutive battles until he finally conquered Shouchun. Li Yi's men captured tens of thousands of Yuan Shu, and counting the manpower of other counties, there would be even more.

For these people, Li Yi naturally selected them, put them in his camp, and let them be used by him.

Therefore, how to enhance the loyalty of these people has become the primary problem to be solved.
