Chapter 146: If someone else's son dies, so does my son
Shenzhou, after Cao Xin arrived, Li Anguo was finally relieved and could finally have a comfortable meal and sleep well. Before Cao Xin came, Shenzhou had no general except You Yong, and he had to work on the front line and do everything himself. However, after Cao Xin came, Cao Xin could share a lot of the tasks of commanding the battle, so he didn't have to worry about it any longer.
After the reinforcements in Yizhou arrived, the troops that were originally guarding the city finally took turns to rest.
So even when he was drinking a bowl of millet porridge, he heard the rumbling sound of war drums outside, he didn't care. It was basically impossible to capture the current Shenzhou City by conventional siege.
So he still enjoyed his breakfast comfortably without changing his face.
Until Duteng stumbled and ran in.
"Jings handsome, Jis handsome, go to the city quickly." Du Teng's tone was filled with a hint of crying, which made Li Anguo instinctively feel something was wrong.
"What's wrong? Where is Cao Xin?" He stood up and asked.
"Governor Cao is at the top of the city." Du Teng barely stood firm, but his legs were still shaking.
"Then why are you panic?" Li Anguo said angrily.
"Jingshou, the eldest son, the eldest son..." Du Teng's tears flowed down.
Li Anguo shook his body, supported the table with both hands, and then stabilized his body, and asked in a stern voice: "Che'er, what's wrong with him? Did it fall into Lu Longjun's hands?"
"Jie Shuai, you'll know when you go and take a look." Du Teng burst into tears.
Li Anguo took a step forward, staggered and almost fell to the ground. Judging from Du Teng's performance, it was probably a big deal.
Du Teng took the lead and supported Li Anguo.
Li Anguo took a deep breath, suddenly exerted force, threw Du Teng's hand away, and walked out with big strides.
When they walked into the yard, Gongsun Changming and Liang Han, who heard the noise, also ran out of their respective houses. The group walked hurriedly in a heavy mood and headed towards the city.
Above the city, thousands of Chengde soldiers were silent, and all their eyes were focused on a bamboo pole that was inserted high not far from the city.
That was inserted by Lu Longjun not long ago.
Above the bamboo pole, there is a human head.
The heads are well preserved and made to life.
That was the head of Young Master Chengde Li Che.
His eyes were wide open, and at this moment, he was staring at Shenzhou City on the bamboo pole.
Cao Xin was erected on the top of the city like a statue. Wang Wenshu around him needed to hold on to the city wall to stand firm. The main general Li Che became like this, so how could his son be good?
With the sound of footsteps, Cao Xin turned around and looked at Li Anguo. At this moment, he finally showed a look of sadness on his sculptural face. He took two steps and grabbed Li Anguo with both hands.
"Jings handsome, hold on!"
They are old brothers for many years, and they are redundant whenever they say mercy at this moment.
Li Anguo's eyes fell on the tall bamboo pole outside the city, and he became stiff. He wanted to move forward, but he couldn't move a single step.
Cao Xin and You Yong, one left and one right, held Li Anguo and moved to the battlement.
Two lines of tears slid down from his face, and Li Anguo stretched out his hands forward, as if he wanted to touch his son's head in the distance.
When he left, he was full of energy, but when he returned, he was two parts of his body and head. Li Anguo's heart was as if he was shattered, and his eyes were straight ahead. After a while, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Journey handsome!"
"Journey handsome!"
Everyone was panicked above the city. Li Che's head appeared, which had already caused a great blow to the soldiers above the city. If the Jiedushi fell on the city again, his morale would probably fall to the bottom of the valley.
In a panic, Li Anguo's face, who had vomited a mouthful of blood, looked abnormally rosy. He reached out to wipe the blood from his mouth, then pushed away the generals who were holding around him, took a deep breath, and straightened his back straightened.
He turned slowly, looked at his generals, and then scanned the countless fully armed soldiers on the top of the city.
"Defend Chengde and defend our common home, the sons of other people die, and my sons of Li Anguo die too!" He said word by word.
He opened his arms, as if he wanted to put something into his arms.
"Chengde is the common home of all of us, and we will never let robbers come in. Let us use our blood and lives to defend our home."
He yelled sharply.
Gongsun Changming winked at You Yong.
You Yong knew how to pull out his horizontal sword, raised his head high, and shouted: "Jie Shuai said, "Defend Chengde and protect the home, other people's children die, and his son dies too. Fight to the death, fight to the death!"
On the city and under the city, it seemed that they were shocked by Li Anguo's words. First, there was a silence, and then, the sound of shouting like tsunamis erupted above the city.
"Defend Chengde, defend your home, fight to the death, fight to the death!"
Everyone waved their weapons, and the deafening shouts echoed throughout the clouds.
Even in the distance below the city, Lu Long's army, Zhenwu army, and Khitan army seemed to be frightened by the sudden burst of fighting spirit from the top of the city of Shenzhou, and everyone's faces changed color.
"General Shi, we seem to have made a mistake. We originally wanted to shock the other party, but we made the other party more determined to fight." Wang Feng was surprised and looked at Shi Yi on the side with some dissatisfaction.
Shi Yi nodded: "It is indeed unexpected that Li Anguo is not an ordinary person after all, but a powerful character. Even if he loses his beloved son, he can still fight back and use this matter to boost the morale of the defenders. It is indeed worth the Grand Marshal's special look at him, but the good show has just begun!
On the top of the city of Shenzhou, looking at the soldiers with high fighting spirit, the blush on Li Anguo's face faded away again, and he felt weak and drifting. You Yong on the side quickly held him without revealing his traces.
"General You, send someone to send Ji Zheng back to his house." Cao Xin ordered.
"yes."
Li Anguo looked at Cao Xin. In front of this old brother, he no longer had to hide his sadness.
"Jie Shuai, don't worry, I will definitely grab the eldest son's head back."
"Jingshou, I will lead Cheng Delang cavalry out of the city." You Yong followed, "You Yong will not come to see you if you don't take back the eldest son's head."
Li Anguo had just left, but other situations occurred under the city.
A ox cart was slowly heading towards Shenzhou City under the escort of several war horses. When it was hundreds of steps away from the front of the city, the ox cart stopped. On the cart, a man tied up in a bunch was held hostage by two knives and axes.
Cao Xin only glanced at him and his fists clenched tightly.
That was his nephew Wang Mingren.
"Brother-in-law, it's Mingren, it's Mingren!" Wang Wenshu shouted and grabbed Cao Xin's arm. "Brother-in-law, save Mingren, save Mingren!"
Cao Xin slapped Wang Wenshu on the ground with a backhand, and said in a deep voice: "You Yong, block his mouth and tie him up."
You Yong did not hesitate at all and immediately did as Cao Xin's instructions.
They are all experienced people, and when they see this situation, they will know what the other party is thinking.
"Governor Cao, should you recognize who this is?" Below, a man reached out to pull Wang Mingren's hair and raised his face high.
Cao Xin remained silent.
At his feet, Wang Wenshu's huge body twisted his head desperately, and tried his best to arch Cao Xin's calves with his head.
The envoy Lu Long, who was riding on the war horse, walked forward a few steps and said loudly: "Governor Cao, this is our battle with Chengde and Li Anguo. Our General Zhang said that as long as Governor Cao is willing to surrender to me, Lu Long, then not only will this person be returned to Zhao, but you will still be the governor of Yizhou. Even if you want to be the lord of Zhenzhou, it is not impossible."
Behind Cao Xin, You Yong's face changed slightly.
Cao Xin sneered and turned to the people behind him and said, "What kind of advice is this to surrender? I really want me to surrender. Shouldn't I send someone to sneak into the city and have a dark room deal with me? Knowing that I will not surrender, I can only use these tricks to disrupt our army's morale. It's really ridiculous."
After hearing this, You Yong's face relaxed.
It’s not that he doesn’t believe in Cao Xin, but that he is in such a situation. Even if he is the one who doesn’t know what to make a decision. He knows that Cao Xin has always trained Wang Mingren as his own son.
"Uncle, don't believe their nonsense, fight to the death, fight to the death." Wang Mingren, who looked dying on the ox cart, suddenly raised his head and shouted. He just shouted a few times, but was blocked by two swords and axemen.
Cao Xin nodded repeatedly, leaned over and lifted Wang Wenshu up from the ground.
"Look at your son, and finally look at your son. You should be proud of him." Wang Wenshu's body twisted desperately, and blood and tears flowed out of his eyes.
"Other people's son dies, and our son dies." Cao Xin's low voice sounded in Wang Wenshu's ears." You Yong, using Chengde Langqi as the arrow, led two thousand armored soldiers out of the north gate to fight. Du Teng led five hundred armored soldiers and ten thousand palace soldiers out of the east gate, and Liang Han led five hundred armored soldiers and ten thousand government soldiers out of the west gate."
"As for your order!" The three generals bowed and turned to the city.
Cao Xin looked at the city and shouted loudly: "Mingren, my uncle will definitely avenge you. In the future, my uncle will avenge you by the ninth clan of King Feng of Yi. You, go with peace of mind!"
He raised his right hand high, then let out a long howl and fell heavily.
On the top of the city, thousands of arrows suddenly shot out.
Cover the ox cart and several knights in the rain of arrows.
Wang Wenshu roared and fell on the city wall.
Countless war drums were beaten on the top of the city. Amid the drum sounds, the north gate opened, and Chengde wolf cavalry came out of the city like a whirlwind.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Above the city, the soldiers guarding the city were waving their weapons, shouting and waving at the top of their lungs.
Chapter completed!
