Chapter 242 Begin the siege
Not long after, Zhao Yanshou, who was left behind in the Xijin Prefecture, ran to the city and said with a worried face: "Commander, the city of Xijin Prefecture has suffered heavy losses. Dozens of shops and houses were destroyed, and hundreds of people were killed or injured. Now the people in the city are
People are in panic, so what should we do?"
Yelu Qicai's face was filled with frost, and he said to Zhao Yanshou: "You are staying behind in the Xijin Mansion. You are responsible for these matters yourself. Now that the army granary has been burned down, you must raise one hundred thousand shi of food before tomorrow evening."
When Zhao Yanshou heard this, he was shocked and said: "Commander, the city is in chaos. How can I raise 100,000 shi of food in such a short time?"
Yelvqi said angrily: "This is your business. I only want food. If the soldiers don't have food, I will only ask you."
Zhao Yanshou originally came to ask for help, but he was given such an arduous task, so he could only go back frustrated. When he returned to the left-behind mansion, his first order was not to rescue the people affected by the disaster, but to do everything possible to raise food.
The doors of the big grain merchants were smashed open. If they cooperated, the soldiers would directly move the grain. If they dared to say no, they would directly kill people.
When the people in the city heard that the government was collecting grain, they were even more panicked. Food is life, and it cannot be compared with a few explosives. Rumors spread throughout Xijin Mansion, saying that Zhao Jun was powerful, Yeluqi was about to be defeated, and the city gate was about to be destroyed.
Was defeated by the Zhao army, etc.
In the past, many people thought that the Zhao army did not pose a threat to the Xijin Mansion and that the Liao army could eliminate them in a few attacks. However, it seems that this is not the case now and everyone is afraid.
Many people packed their bags and valuables overnight and wanted to take their children out of the city to escape, but how could Zhao Yanshou dare to let these people out of the city.
In this way, the whole city spent a long night in chaos and panic.
The east has brightened,
A new day has arrived.
Qin Guan stretched out, got out of the thick tiger skin quilt, put on his clothes and walked out of the tent. In the camp outside, the soldiers had already gotten up, setting out the army pots and lighting a fire to cook.
When the guards on guard outside the tent saw Qin Guan coming out, they quickly stood up straight and saluted: "I have seen the commander-in-chief."
"Has General Han gotten up?" Qin Guan asked.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, General Han is up and inspecting the military camp." The guards naturally knew who the commander-in-chief was talking about, General Han, and immediately replied.
"Tell her to come back. I want to see her."
"Yes, Marshal."
After Qin Guan finished speaking, he got back into the warm tent. It was too cold outside.
Not long after, Han Yuqing came back, dressed in armor and full of heroic spirit. After seeing Qin Guan, he asked: "My husband, you need to call me if you have something to do."
Qin Guan was sitting on the brocade pier, and he was too lazy to say: "comb my hair and pierce my armor. I can't do it myself."
Han Yuqing glanced at him, walked behind Qin Guan, took out a wooden comb from her arms, and began to comb Qin Guan's hair carefully.
"Did your husband sleep well last night?" Han Yuqing asked casually.
"Not good." Qin Guandao.
Han Yuqing was stunned, "Why, are you worried about the war situation?"
Qin Guan shook his head, "No, it's because it was too cold at night and there was no one to warm the bed, so I couldn't sleep well."
Qin Guan teases Han Yuqing.
When she came back last night, Han Yuqing removed Qin Guan's armor. Qin Guan hugged Han Yuqing and asked her to stay with him. Han Yuqing refused, saying that her father had just died and she must observe filial piety for three years. Before getting married, she could not do anything between men and women.
Qin Guan was wilted at that time.
When Han Yuqing heard what Qin Guan said, the hand he was combing his hair paused for a moment, then slowly started combing it again, and said: "I know I have suffered a lot for my husband, but this is etiquette and cannot be violated. Now that my husband is the county official, he should pay more."
I am a concubine so that I can continue the family lineage of the Qin family. Yuqing is not a jealous person. When you marry your husband in the future, you will take care of the affairs in the backyard and will not let your husband worry about it."
Qin Guan turned his head, looked at Han Yuqing who had a calm face, and sighed in his heart, this is the difference between ancient times and modern times.
Then he sat down honestly, stopped teasing Han Yuqing, and combed his hair honestly. Han Yuqing helped Qin Guan put on the Overlord armor, and Qin Guan strode out of the tent.
Assembling the generals, Qin Guan said: "After last night's battle, I think the city of Laijinfu will definitely be very chaotic and people will be panicked. This is a good time for us to attack."
Immediately ordered: "After dinner, we will start the attack. We must capture Xijin Mansion today."
"Yes, Marshal."
All generals should be.
After a full meal, it was already nine o'clock in the morning. Following Qin Guan's order, the Northern Route Army blew the horn of attack.
Five rams roared towards the Xijin Mansion. At this time, Yelu Qicai was also ready, and all the Liao soldiers boarded the city to defend the Zhao army from attacking the city.
Seeing the five rams pushing over, Yelvqi was stunned. He didn't know what Zhao Jun was up to, but he didn't dare to hesitate at all and immediately issued an order to destroy these guys.
When they were 200 meters away from the city wall, the Liao army began to shoot arrows, and arrows fell like rain. Fortunately, these chariots had strong defenses, and the soldiers hiding inside were not harmed.
Not long after, a rush car arrived at the city gate, and four other cars also hit the city wall.
"Brothers, hurry up and unload the goods."
"Hand it over, hand it over quickly."
Now all the soldiers who rush to the car know that they are transporting not stones, but gunpowder. This thing is deadly. If it is ignited, their fate will be very miserable. There will be absolutely no bones left. Look at the explosive pack siege last night.
You know it, this is an absolute killer.
The general who defended the city of Xijin Mansion stood at the top of the city and loudly ordered:
"Magnify the rocks, roll the logs, and smash them."
"Pour in kerosene and burn them to death."
Rumble.
Huge logs were thrown down one after another and hit the roof of the car, causing the car to shake.
Pots and basins of kerosene were poured down, soaking the lime on the ram truck. A stone weighing more than one ton smashed a hole in the top of the ram truck. The kerosene followed the hole and left a hole in it.
The whole car was set on fire.
Then there was a loud roar, the gunpowder in the ram was ignited and exploded, and the entire ram was instantly reduced to nothing.
The huge explosion shook the city head.
When Yeluqi saw all this, he was shocked and shouted: "They are going to blow up the city wall, stop them quickly."
"boom!"
Another ram was set on fire and exploded, and dozens of Zhao soldiers disappeared instantly.
In the team, Qin watched all this. He knew that war is so cruel and death is inevitable. His method of warfare has ensured the safety of soldiers to the maximum extent. If it is a normal method of warfare, he would order the soldiers to attack the city.
, that is the real cruelty, the meat grinding mill.
"Put it away, brothers, hurry up and evacuate."
"Push like hell."
"If we run two hundred meters, we can survive."
