Chapter 641

After four days and nights of attack, the army still failed to break the pickaxe city. At this time, the city wall had already become a river of blood and corpses were everywhere.

Trimmer said anxiously, "general, we've all folded in more than 70000 people. If we go on like this, we'll all die." The cavalry are very fierce on land, but they can't use it to attack the city.

"We have lost a lot, and so have they," said Yun Qing, his face expressionless. I'm sure they won't hold out for long. " Now it's up to who can make it to the end. Hold on, you will win the final victory.

Looking at trimmer's sad look, Yunqing said: "this is the last hurdle. As long as we pass this hurdle, we will win. Pickaxe City, the symbol of Northwest China, is determined by the overall situation when it is occupied.

Another day's fighting resulted in the loss of nearly 10000 people. Guan Tai met Yunqing with blood on his head and said, "general, I can't hold up that side of pickaxe city." This is the hope of seeing the broken city.

Yunqing didn't speak. He just asked people to pass on food. After eating up a large bowl of food, he wiped his mouth and took Gao Song and others to the battlefield.

Yunqing went to the battlefield and immediately aroused the morale of the soldiers. The general has gone to the battlefield, indicating that it is time for a decisive battle.

After six days and five nights of fighting, the pickaxe city was finally attacked, but the northwest army also paid a heavy price. When 160000 people attacked the pickaxe City, only 60000 people were left, nearly 100000 dead and injured.

Standing at the top of the city wall, looking at the city wall and the bodies inside and outside the city wall, Yunqing's face is sad.

Yu Cong said, "general, there are many things you need to make up your mind!" Although the cost is heavy, the result is good.

Yunqing immediately calmed down and said, "let Yuan Ying come here..."

Yu Cong was a little sad and said, "general, Yuan Ying is hurt. He is very hurt..." More or less, the generals who came along hung up the color. He also received a knife, but it was not serious. Yuan Ying's injury was the most serious.

Yun Qing's face changed immediately and asked, "is there any danger to his life?"

Yu Cong shook his head and said, "there is no danger of life, but it's very troublesome." A lung injury is a fundamental injury. Let alone a leader in a war, his martial arts can no longer be used.

Yu Cong looked gloomy and said, "that's Du Zheng coming here." Today's results are all brothers with their lives, he is not qualified to lament the spring and autumn here.

Yu Cong called Cui Mo and Du Zheng. They had a task: "Du Zheng, you take 30000 people to occupy Tongguan immediately." Tongguan, located at the Yellow River Ferry, is the eastern gate of Guanzhong, which is the key point of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan provinces. It is the post road from Chang'an to Luoyang. It has always been a place for strategists to fight for

"Don't worry, I'm going to expand quickly," said Yunqing. You'll straighten it out and start tomorrow morning. " Now it's time to fight.

In fact, Du Zheng had a question all the time, asking: "general, it's almost two months, isn't it? Why hasn't the imperial army arrived? " It's good for them if the Imperial Army doesn't arrive, or they won't get the pickaxe city. It's just a matter of how to see it.

"He ye, the general of Henan, and Ji Xuan are different enemies," said Yunqing. But he didn't support Ji Xuan before, which doesn't mean he doesn't send troops now. You should be more careful. " It is because he ye and Ji Xuan are enemies that Yu Xiangcai transferred him to Henan as the general. Although Yu Boda is the commander in chief of Shu, now it's so cold and mountain road, so the delay time is naturally long.

Du Zheng was worried, but seeing that Yunqing looked normal, he put this worry in his heart: "general, I will guard Tongcheng well."

After a while, Guan Tai came in and reported something to Yun Qing. He said, "general, the Jieli family killed themselves."

Cloud Qing pupil a shrink, say: "all commit suicide?" Even if he respected Xie Li, he would not spare him and his family. It's not that Yunqing is cruel, but that he should be merciless to the enemy.

Guan Tai nodded and said, "not all the family members, only the Li family. The Jieli family has a total of 18 people, all of whom have died and their bodies have been found. "

Cloud Qing said: "thick burial!"

Ding Qingyu waited outside for Guan Tai and said, "I heard that the Jieli family all died by themselves. Is this true?"

Guan Tai nodded and said, "it's true."

Ding Qingyu said, "Jieli only understands one son of Junxiong, but he has six grandchildren and seven granddaughters, as well as a great grandchild."

Guan Tai said, "how big is Jieli's great grandson?" Xie Li killed so many of them, and general yuan was seriously injured. He couldn't swallow his words if he didn't kill Xie's family.

Ding Qingyu said, "about two or three months. General Guan, if you cut the grass, you will have a life in spring. " Since you are the enemy of life and death, don't be merciful.

Guan Tai nodded, "you don't have to say that. However, I remember you said that Xie Junxiong is only thirty-one years old this year. How could he have a grandson? " Age is not right.

Ding Qingyu said: "jiejunxiong's eldest son is not married yet. This is from Tongfang. It's said that the house is the heart and soul of the master Xie. " It is not clear why the family counselor allowed the child to be born.

Guan Tai couldn't help admiring: "Mr. Ding, it seems that you are really familiar with the people in pickaxe city." Even those who understand the master's room know that the work is too meticulous.

Ding Qingyu said: "no one in pickaxe city is more familiar than me. If I help you, you will get more." This time is to actively recommend yourself to go out, rather than wait here, wait, there is no pie in the sky.

As soon as Guan Tai's eyes brightened, he said, "it's OK. I'm going to talk to the general now." It's a lot easier for him to have someone to help.

Yunqing didn't refuse Guan Tai's request, but said, "Xie's family is a noble family in the northwest. If you don't have me, don't move for the moment." People like Xie's family should not be killed, but should be brought together. Now, it's time to hire people.

Guan Tai has no objection.

Yun Qing reminds Guan Tai and says, "let him help you, but you need to let people look at him." Yunqing doesn't trust Ding Qingyu very much.

Guan Tai nodded, "general, if he dares to think badly, I will kill him." Guan Tai believes that Ding Qingyu is not so stupid and will betray them at this time.

Yunqing takes Gao Song to see Yuan Ying. When he goes, Yuan Ying is still awake. Yunqing asked, "how is it? Is it better? "

Yuan Ying said with a smile, "it's OK. It's not going to die." I didn't die when I captured the barbarians in the north. It's not worth dying here!

Yunqing thought this was unlucky and said, "take good care of your injuries. Don't think too much."

Yuan Ying really didn't think too much, but he must have been alive again after a period of injury. Yuan Ying said, "my subordinate Gao Rushan has been helping me deal with the captives before.". He's quite proficient in this. It should be OK to give it to him. "

Yun Qing nods and agrees, but he has too many things to talk to Yuan Ying: "then you should take good care of this time."

Pickaxe city is the most prosperous city in the northwest. There are many doctors here. All of them were invited to take care of the wounded. Yuan Ying's senior official surnamed he was very famous in pickaxe city.

Out of the room, Yunqing asked doctor he, "is general yuan's injury serious?" When Yuan Ying was talking just now, he didn't look very well.

He said: "general yuan's lung injury is not life-threatening, but he can no longer do vigorous exercise." Heart and lung are important organs of human body. If you hurt your lungs, it's fundamental.

Yunqing looks gloomy, which means that Yuan Ying can't lead the soldiers to fight any more. Fortunately, he has no worries about his life, which is also a blessing in misfortune.

Guan Tai first checked the governor's office. Ji Xuan escapes, but basically everything remains. Money is important, but life is more important. But even so, Guan Tai only seized more than one million silver and fragmentary gold in the governor's office. Before, a magistrate had seized more than that amount of gold and silver.

Guan Tai is not stupid either. He can be sure that Ji Xuan must have hidden the gold and silver: "catch all these servants and ask them where Ji Xuan has hidden the gold and silver beads? If you confess honestly, let them live. If they do not confess, they will be cut alive. " What good things can you have with Ji Xuan!

To Guan Tai's dismay, none of these servants knew where Ji Xuan's money was hidden. Ding Qingyu said, "Ji Xuan has raised so many private soldiers, and all the money he has collected must have been used up."

Guan Tai glanced at Ding Qingyu. There was sarcasm in his eyes and said, "you think I'm stupid? How much does it cost to raise twenty or thirty thousand private soldiers a year? How much money did Ji Xuan plunder in the northwest? "

Ding Qingyu said, "now I don't know how many private soldiers Ji Xuan has raised."

Guan Tai didn't answer Ding Qingyu's question, but let one of his trusted subordinates take 300 people to guard the discipline family, so as to protect the treasure. He continued to search other families.

Pickaxe city is the most prosperous city in Northwest China. There are more officials and rich people. There is no way to compare it with other places. The amount of money checked is more than the sum of all before. This does not include the medicine, cloth, grain and grass.

Yunqing has too many things to deal with, so let the ascending Gao Rushan take care of the prisoners. This time, unlike before, Yunqing didn't give these people any more choices. Except for the injured ones, they can put them back home, and all the others should be included. The loss is too great this time. We must add more people and horses as soon as possible. Not only that, but also he has to recruit people and horses.

Guan Tai comes back to see Yunqing in the morning, looks at Yunqing's dignified expression, and asks, "general, what's the matter?" He speculated that it was probably the court's counter insurgency army that arrived.

Yunqing said, "no, it's the northern captives who have changed. It may not be long before the northern army will come to Yucheng. "

When Guan Tai heard this, his face turned ugly: "it seems that the northern prisoners have got the news and want to take the opportunity to break through Yucheng."

If only the northern army is not afraid, but the court's counter insurgency army is about to arrive. What he was most worried about was that it happened, and the cost of breaking through pickaxe city was too heavy, otherwise he would not be so passive.
