Chapter 52

In troubled times, etiquette and music are broken, and human life is as cheap as a mole ant. Many conventional rules are no longer applicable. As the helmsman of the aristocratic family, he should stand in line in time to protect the family's interests and the wealth of his children.

Several princes in the north are still fighting. Some of the hidden sects choose their own targets to bet on. It is said that there are also Hu tribes on the grassland who are involved in the struggle. The situation is so complicated that it is difficult to tell for a while.

By contrast, the situation in the south is much clearer. Wu zhence has become a well-known hidden dragon. As soon as the imperial army is defeated, he can immediately claim Wang Jianguo. He takes advantage of the situation to sweep the whole south, expand the army by hundreds of thousands, and occupy a rare first-hand advantage in this contest.

Of course, they don't know Zhao Yuanjin's real cards, so this bet at all costs is doomed to have a good result.

The battle in Xiangyang City lasted until the tenth day.

With the continuous bombardment of the return artillery, the tall and strong wall was finally unable to bear, and there were obvious damages in several areas. From the telescope, the tree like cracks on the wall were everywhere and clearly visible, which was obviously not able to last long.

Yu Hualong was also aware of this, but he had no choice but to mobilize more young people to mend it all night long, hoping to last as long as possible. After the end of the war in Huaiyang, the victorious imperial army came to the rescue.

However, with the fall of two inborn martial arts masters, the war situation began to deteriorate obviously. Qin Feng was not kind enough to give the defenders a chance to breathe. He attacked and harassed the defenders regardless of day and night, honed their own martial arts and accomplishments, and at the same time, he killed the enemy in large numbers. Anyway, he came and went like the wind alone, and no one in the city could have done anything about him.

“…… Again

As the soldiers screamed in horror, a tall black figure came slowly in the night. The sword was like a bright electric light. The soldiers on duty died one after another. Many civilians who were repairing the damaged walls scattered and fled everywhere.

Qin Feng didn't pay attention to the common people. He carried his sword and walked around the court. He killed elite soldiers and middle and low-level officers, and even when he met scattered bowmen and civil servants, he did not let go.

In a moment, another section of the city wall was emptied.

With the rapid sound of warning gongs, a large number of soldiers swarmed in the distance, Qin Feng's figure quietly disappeared into the night.

"A thief, a rebel, a bastard who kills a thousand swords..."

The command that can't catch up with him makes Cheng Lin furious and scolds him with gnashing teeth. This kind of oppressive and unyielding thing is repeated. For several days in a row, the shameless master of the bandit army acted like a monkey, and he kept on playing in the middle of the night, and no one could bear it.

No matter how fierce the battle was, Qin Feng did not fall into the trap at all. He always adopted the strategy of "strike and go" and exerted the speed advantage of the congenital martial arts master to the extreme. The number of soldiers killed each time was not large. The way of cutting meat with a thin knife made the imperial guards lose blood slowly.

Now, as long as Qin Feng, the super saboteur, appears, the morale of soldiers on the wall will immediately collapse, and it is useless to let the supervision team shout and scold.

"I like to see you gnash your teeth at me, but you can't help it!"

As Qin Feng thought in his heart, he continued to harvest his life in accordance with his own rhythm, and forced the whole city garrison to the abyss of despair.

"Marshal, you can't go on like this again!"

Xiao Yin, a counselor with a worried look, advised, "if you let that thief go on recklessly, the morale of the soldiers in the city will be hard to protect, and unexpected disasters are inevitable."

"I know, but what can I do now?"

Look haggard a lot of in Hualong stuffy voice way, the voice is full of resentment unwilling. He is also a famous general of a generation, but is so humiliated by a shameless younger generation. How can I swallow this tone?

Xiangyang City is too large, and the number of bowmen in the army is limited, so it is impossible to make strict defense on every section of the city wall. If it was evenly distributed, it could not form a sufficient threat to Qinfeng at all. Instead, it was killed by its key care, and the losses were increased. You should know that the crossbow belongs to the technical arms. Once there are too many casualties, it is not a simple thing to replenish.

"For today's sake, perhaps there is only one way to surrender..."

Before Xiao Yin finished his words, he saw Yu Hualong's face suddenly cold, and his eyes turned to kill him. Then he said, "of course, it's feigning surrender! Try to lure that Zhao Yuanjin into the city, and then ambush and kill him with one fell swoop, and the overall situation will be settled. "

"Oh? How do you say that? "

Yu Hualong's face eased down and asked in a deep voice.

After a long discussion, an emissary was sent to the city to meet Zhao Yuanjin.

Zhao Yuanjin was puzzled, but he was summoned.

“…… The commander of my family is willing to stop fighting and to surrender to the city, just to show his sincerity. He also asked the governor to go to the city and surrender himself to appease the common people. " After the messenger met, he said such a thing.

Zhao Yuanjin frowned and instinctively felt something was wrong. Qin Feng, who had just come back next to him, scoffed and said, "since ancient times, the rule of surrender is that the loser carries a letter of seal out of the city and presents it to the winner. Why should your master be an exception? Did you not ambush men and horses in the city and prepare to kill them by deception? "During the Jingnan battle of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Di led the army to besiege Jinan City. Tie Xuan played such a trick of feigning surrender and asked Zhu Di to enter the city alone. It's strange that the wise and powerful Yongle Emperor still believed it, and happily rode into the city. As a result, he was nearly dismembered by the Qianjin knife brake which fell at the gate of the city, and escaped to his life.

"Your honor, my commander-in-chief really intends to surrender, but you should also show your due sincerity. Let Jiedushi go to the city to surrender himself, so as to show that he is not responsible for the army and the people in the city. I think this is not too much." The emissary said to Qin Feng without being humble or arrogant.

Zhao Yuanjin sneered: "are you so good at being my commander? Yu Hualong is really sincere. Let him come in person! Don't worry. I certainly don't want to play tricks with him, and let him take his post. "

In the end, the emissary accosted and returned. Yu Hualong learned that there was no expression behind him, but ordered the whole army to continue the deadly battle.

However, by this time, the garrison in the city was already exhausted. After several days of shelling, several city walls were damaged more and more seriously. In addition, Qin Feng attacked and destroyed endlessly, which made it impossible to defend.

Finally, three days later, at noon, with more than ten giant rocks falling one after another, a section of the scarred wall finally couldn't bear it. It collapsed in the dust and gravel all over the sky, revealing a gap about ten meters wide.

All of a sudden, the city was silent and everyone was shocked.

Then Zhao Jun, who was the first to react, burst out loud cheers. Without waiting for the commander's order, he rushed up like a tide and rushed madly to the gap.

In the face of Zhao Yuanjin, Xiangyang, known as the most powerful city in the world, was broken after less than a month.
