Chapter 249 The Year of Shunde

Ah Qin heard the bell when he was running towards the city wall.

"A Liao, what happened!" Standing on the watchtower with A Liao and looking down, all the torches on the city wall have been lit at this time, and all the night marches approaching the city are clearly illuminated.Aqin was also stunned by the turbulent siege of the city, and was momentarily speechless.

"who are they?"

Ah Liao's hair and the clothes on his chest were all wet from the rain, and the raindrops dripped down from his tightly knit eyebrows and down his nose.

"I don't know, I can't see clearly." Ah Liao held Ah Qin's hand, "Don't talk about that, let's go down first, it's too dangerous here."

As soon as Ah Liao and Ah Qin came down from the watchtower, the watchtower was blown into two pieces.The out-of-control tower body fell to A Liao and the others amidst the exclamation.Ah Liao watched helplessly as the body of the tower pressed down on him, the shout was still suppressed in his throat, and before he blurted out, his back suddenly hurt, and he was pushed away.

"Eldest Captain!"

The surrounding guards quickly came up to help A Liao up, A Liao was covered in mud and water and had several scratches.She didn't even have time to check where she was injured, and turned around to see that the toppled watchtower was lying on the city wall like the corpse of a huge beast.One of Ah Qin's legs was crushed, and she was gritting her teeth and struggling to get out.

"Ah Qin!" Ah Liao was about to rush up to save people. Countless stones were thrown from the bottom of the city and bombarded the city wall, causing the sky to shatter. It was smashed into a meat paste.

"Let's go!" Ah Qin's ankle had been crushed, and she couldn't lift the tower with her own strength, and the wall between her and Ah Liao became a deep ravine under the attack of the catapult just now.

The catapults continued to attack crazily, with loud rumbling noises and screams in the city.

Gravels continued to fall from high places, cutting Ah Liao's forehead, bleeding profusely.

The city wall under his feet is already crumbling and may collapse at any time.

No time to hesitate.

Ah Liao stood up unsteadily, with fixed eyes, and ran towards Ah Qin.

"Don't come!" Seeing that she was advancing instead of retreating, Ah Qin's eyes were filled with tears, and she tried to shout, but her voice was easily swallowed by the rumbling siege and thunderstorm.

"How could I not come!" Ah Liao stumbled towards the ravine before he could stand still.

The catapult pierced through the footpath on the top of the city wall, and if it fell into the ravine, it would fall from a height of four battles.A Liao himself was not good at light work, and the pierced gully was half a foot wide. Although it was not completely impossible to cross, it was not easy to jump over under the many disturbances during the fierce siege.

A Liao focused on nothing but the slightest hesitation, staring at the ravine and jumped.

"Danger!" Ah Qin lay on the ground, watching helplessly as a kerosene bomb hit Ah Liao who was flying in the air.Dozens of flaming kerosene bombs took off neatly into the sky, illuminating the sky above Mingxian County, and also dyed Ah Liao's whole body with a layer of golden rims like fire.

Ah Liao didn't look sideways, as if he didn't notice the kerosene bomb at his side at all. Ah Qin's heart rose to his throat, only to see a flash of fire, A Liao fell across the ravine and landed on the uneven stone surface, and the kerosene bomb It passed behind her with a bang and smashed into the city.Ah Liao stumbled and fell forward, followed by a string of flames behind his robe.

Ah Qin didn't have time to shout, Ah Liao took advantage of the situation and rolled forward twice, suppressing the fire in the robe.When she rolled over to put out the fire and squatted firmly on the ground, she landed right in front of Ah Qin.

The two looked at each other, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

"Be patient!"

If it was normal, she would have to carefully appreciate Ah Qin's beautiful face with tears, and then write a few acid poems to praise her and please her.But the current situation is critical, and she cannot tolerate any romance, so the top priority is to rescue Ah Qin.

The wooden structure of the tower was very heavy, and it smashed Ah Qin's left ankle when it fell down.Ah Qin had some strength in his body but couldn't exert it at all, Ah Liao pushed and lifted again, but the body of the tower remained motionless.

The attacks of catapults and kerosene bombs came one after another, the city was full of smoke, and the shouts of killing outside the city were boiling.

The city was fortified urgently, the archers fired all their arrows, and the hot oil was transported to the damaged crenels and poured down along the city wall, temporarily suppressing the soldiers who were crazy to climb the city along the ladder.

"Come and help!" Ah Liao couldn't shake the tower no matter what, and was sweating profusely.Just when hundreds of soldiers flew up the city wall, she roared at a group of troops.More than a dozen strong men stepped forward to lift the tower body, each of them blushing, and finally moved a little, loosening a gap.Ah Liao quickly dragged Ah Qin out, supported Ah Qin, and retreated from the city wall under the cover of the soldiers.

Withdrew to the city, protected by the city walls and thick gates, temporarily safe.Ah Liao arrested a commander and asked who the besieger was.

"Returning to the captain, it seems to be a barbarian!"

Hu people!

really!

These are not Chongjin Hu people, but those refugees who made trouble in Suichuan back then, including the five major Hu tribes in Northwest China including Jixi.

Ming County, where Ah Liao is located, is an important town in the northwest of Dongchun County and borders Suichuan County, and it is also an important entrance to Dongchun.From north to south, the Suidong Mountains divide Suichuan and Dongchun Equinox on both sides. Due to the danger of the mountains, if any army wants to move from Suichuan to the east, Ming County is the best entrance, and it can even be said to be the only passage.

Ming County has a heavy army, and the old and weak of the eldest grandson's family are placed in the rear. She and the ladies of Qingyuan are in Ming County. this.

Wei Tingxu's worries came true.

"The Yao family has come out in full force, and Nanya has already been captured. They are bound to die, and they will be very difficult to deal with. Coupled with the support of Hengshui King, I am afraid that they will not be able to break through Da County in a short time." Wei Tingxu sent her earlier The letter said, "The Yao family is ready for the tug-of-war. It is very risky for us. The Hu tribes in the north of Suichuan have been harassing constantly since the early years of Shenchu. Although they are not as brave as Chongjin, they are They are more cunning than Chongjin. During the battle between Yu and Chongjin, these Hu thieves sat on the sidelines. Now that the Central Plains is in a civil war, they will definitely take advantage of the opportunity. If they want to enter the Central Plains from the northwest, they will definitely go to Ming County and take advantage of it. If it is Ming County If it is destroyed, the two connected counties, Dongchun and Pingcang, may be in danger. Dongchun and Pingcang are our roots, and must not be occupied by Hu thieves. The responsibility of guarding Ming County is left to you, Ah Liao."

Wei Tingxu had long thought that the Northwest Hu people would take the opportunity to invade the country. Ming County had a high city and deep pools and deployed heavy troops. A Liao always believed that those uncivilized barbarians were no match.

But he underestimated the enemy.

These Hu tribes in the northwest are said to be the five major Hu tribes. At the beginning, the number of people added together was not as large as half of the number of Chongjin in the early years of Shenchu.Ten years ago, Ah Liao had been to the north of Suichuan, where the people didn't even have bows and arrows and armor, and they would fight with sticks and shirtless between tribes.Ah Liao and Ah Zheng climbed to a tall tree to watch, holding two peaches in their hands, they had just finished eating, and the battle below was also over.

Ah Liaoben didn't pay attention to such a group of mobs, but how could she have imagined that more than [-] troops could avoid the scouts, approach Ming County quietly, and even use siege engines!

There must be forces in the Central Plains colluding with the Hu thieves, providing them with weapons and equipment to open the country for them, and sending them to the gate of Dongchun.

Even so, A Liao would not be afraid to defend Yiming County on weekdays, but the other party chose a time that made her most uncomfortable.

It happened to be tonight.

Ah Liao's body was covered in mud and water, and he couldn't tell whether it was rain or sweat.

She asked someone to take Ah Qin away, and then asked the commander to take out the weapons from the warehouse. She and the soldiers climbed up the tower again, and then carefully identified who the besiegers were.

15 soldiers and horses is definitely a very conservative estimate, and the flames all over the sky now illuminate the situation outside the city more clearly.

20, at least 20.

Many of these people have the faces of barbarians. After setting up the ladder, they rush up, not afraid of any swords, hot oil, as if they have nine lives.If you look carefully, the people who operate the siege engines and the petrol bombs are all faces of Yuren.

it is as expected.

It is said that even though the tin people are greedy and savage, they are like a mess of loose sand. If you want to gather them together, you must use profit to lure them.

Who was this bewitched by?

Who?

The news of Li Feng's death has been spread all over the place, and the whereabouts of the prince and queen are unknown, so it's probably more ominous than good.At this moment, it is a good opportunity for all the princes of the Li family to compete for the world.Whoever can control the Central Plains and pull Li Mu out of the Forbidden Garden will most likely win the hearts of the people and pave the way for his ascension to the throne.Of course, if the princes of the Li family want to ascend the throne, apart from defeating Runing and snatching the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, there is one more important thing to do, which is to get rid of the Wei family and the Changsun family, as well as the one who dominates the military and holds the military power. Zhen Wenjun, the great general of the town.For this reason, it is not impossible to collude with the barbarians in the Northwest.

In addition to Prince Li, there is also the increasingly powerful Red Lotus Sect.It is said that Huang Fu captured Li Min's family who wanted to escape from Dayu, and buried his whole family alive, even pregnant women and infants.The Red Lotus Sect is in full swing, what other possibilities does Huang Fu have for pretending to be a ghost besides ascending to the throne?It is not impossible for the Red Lotus Sect to let the Hu thieves enter the pass and use their power to flatten Dongchun and Pingcang.After using the Hu people, send troops to crusade. Occupying Dongchun Pingcang can eliminate the Hu people and win the hearts of the people, killing two birds with one stone.

Ah Liao calmed down and thought about it so that he didn't have any worries.Either the Li family prince or the Red Lotus Sect, their purpose is the same.

Ah Liao has no experience in leading troops in combat, and fighting is not her specialty, but she also understands that she must spread the news and seek rescue in front of the enemy.If Ming County is destroyed, the defense of the entire Dongchun may not be able to withstand the pressure of 20 troops.Dongchun is peaceful, his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. Only by letting Wei Tingxu dispatch the army back in time can the situation be saved.

She dispatched heavy troops to escort the messenger soldiers out of the city, and she wanted to spread the news no matter what.All the way to Xiao County, all the way to Weishui.

Just three days ago, the main garrison in Ming County received news from Qingqi that there were people suspected of being from the Red Lotus Sect in Xiao County, a small county in the south, making disturbances, and the rioters seemed to be coming towards Ming County.After receiving the information, Ah Liao discussed the strategy of controlling the enemy with the generals defending the city.The result of everyone's discussion was to send troops to Xiaoxian County.There are less than [-] households in this county, and using this place as a battlefield can also minimize casualties.Keeping the thieves out of Ming County is the best policy.

So the two generals led their troops to Xiao County. The distance between the two counties is not too far, and the army can arrive in five days.

Only three days later, Ming County, which had lost its main force, was besieged. At this moment, Ah Liao understood that the siege of Xiao County was a trap.I'm afraid that someone lied about the military situation and transferred the Ming County garrison out of the city.This main force will be gone for three days, if there is no attack, there is still hope to come back and defend Ming County.But if the transfer of the army itself was someone's trick, I'm afraid that the main force of Ming County would have disappeared.

However, sending troops to Xiao County is a secret dispatch. Unless the enemy has spies hiding in Ming County and can spread the news without anyone noticing, how to snipe the main force?Where does this mighty besieging army have the confidence to attack the city regardless?It was clearly an onslaught without any worries.

Ah Liao was sure that there were secret operations in the city.

This fine work is still a role that is easy to be neglected.

Ah Liao thought of Ah Qin, Ah Xu's pregnancy and Ah He's identification.

She has always believed in Ah Qin, believing that she has never done anything wrong to Qingyuan.But how to explain the difficulties in Ming County today?

Ever since Ah Qin returned to her life, Qingyuan, which has always been peaceful, is slowly splitting.Ah Liao didn't want to admit it, but it was the truth.

Ah Qin was the one who betrayed her?

"Captain!"

Someone nearby shouted and threw her down who was in a daze, and the kerosene bomb crashed down on the place where she was standing just now, exploding countless sparks.

It won't be Ah Qin.

Ah Liao's mind was in chaos, it definitely couldn't be her!

Ah Qin was sent back to the city, and the ladies of Qingyuan had already gathered in the courtyard and waited anxiously.Unexpectedly, Ah Liao didn't come back, only Ah Qin came back alone.

"The army outside the city is attacking the city, and the main force is not there. I'm afraid Ming County will not be safe." Ah Qin reluctantly supported the wall and searched in her and A Liao's room, and found a soldier talisman.With this soldier talisman, she can command the soldiers and horses in the city.

Ah Qin got on the horse's back and stepped on the stirrup with only one foot, trying to maintain his balance.She said to all the ladies in the courtyard, "Hurry up and get on the carriage, I will escort you out of the city!"

Ah Qin was very anxious, but everyone in the courtyard did not move.

Ah Zheng said, "Until Ah Liao comes back, we won't leave."

Ah He also said: "We only trust Ah Liao."

Aqin's eyes turned around their faces, seeing that they were serious, and said with a smile: "You guys can't help it!" She lit up the soldier talisman, and said to the soldiers behind her, "Tie them up and throw them into the carriage! "

The soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay and did not act immediately.

Ah Qin sternly said: "Could it be that you want to disobey the military order and lose your mind?"

The soldiers had no choice but to bite the bullet and come up to arrest people.Ah Zheng and Ah He showed their weapons first, and the courtyard quickly became one.
