Chapter 762: The gong and drum sounded
When Gu Nanxi met the person sent by the Gao family, the other party spoke sincerely but could not hide the threats between the lines.
It simply means that the Xie family offered Yongzhou City to Duke Yu Yun, and even if the Xie family did something wrong, they should not have sent troops to Yongzhou without even giving them a chance.
This move seems to be like destroying the bridge after crossing it, and it may disappoint the families in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.
Wang Bushi snorted coldly, slammed the teacup heavily on the tea table, and glared at the person from Gao's family.
"The Xie family acted recklessly in Yongzhou, causing Jilijisi to rebel. Instead of reflecting on their own mistakes, they blamed Duke Yun. What's the logic behind this?"
The envoy from the Gao family was shocked by Wang Buxi's reaction. Just as he was about to say something, he was retorted by Wang Buxi.
"Stop saying anything unpleasant. Lord Yun is a magnanimous man and doesn't want to argue with you, but I am petty. If you keep talking to me, be careful or I'll write you down in my notebook."
After saying this, Wang Bushi called the guards and drove the Gao family envoy out.
When the Gao family members disappeared from his sight, Wang Buxi retracted the anger on his face and said with a smile.
"Mr. Zhuge gave the Xie family enough time to ask for help, but only the Gao family showed up. It's really disappointing."
Gu Nanxi wrote to Zhuge Yu and told him the situation: "This is an unexpected surprise. I thought there was only one idiot in the world, Xie family, but I never expected that they are a pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix."
"Tsk tsk, if Mr. Zhuge knew that you used Crouching Dragon and Phoenix here, he would probably be furious."
Gu Nanxi shut up. She was still counting on Zhuge Yu to do things, so she couldn’t annoy him.
Gu Nanxi's letter reached Zhuge Yu's hands within a few days.
Zhuge Yu waited for a few more days, and after confirming that there were only two stupid fish in the world, the Gao family and the Xie family, he finally ordered someone to blow the horn of attack.
The morning mist has just dissipated, leaving behind a beautiful scene under the clear spring sky.
The moat outside Yongzhou City has slow-flowing water, sparkling in the sun.
At this time, people in Yongzhou City were in panic.
All industries and businesses stopped working, shops closed, people stayed at home, and families gathered together.
Their faces were filled with confusion and fear, and their dull heads were a mess.
I only heard that the grassland people rebelled.
I also heard that Duke Yun sent people, but they were not here to suppress the grassland people, but to attack Yongzhou.
Why attack Yongzhou?
Isn't Yongzhou owned by Duke Yun? Are you fighting against yourself?
The people didn't understand. They couldn't tell the difference between the Xie family and Duke Yun. In their eyes, Yongzhou belonged to Duke Yun and the Xie family.
Xie Runtian was extremely busy. He was responsible for all arrangements for defending the city. He also had to send people to protect the Western Xia envoys and keep an eye on the two imperial envoys and two hundred Yunzhou cavalrymen in the city to prevent them from joining forces from inside and outside.
Perhaps because his life was in the hands of others, Wang Anshi was unexpectedly obedient.
He did not wander around the city, but only went up to the city wall to observe the battle situation.
As the weather grew warmer, a very shallow stream appeared outside Yongzhou City.
The two sides of the stream are green. The grass seeds that have been buried in the ground for a whole winter finally break through the soil with the nourishment of sunlight and water.
However, as the distant horn sounded, the green grass that had finally emerged was trampled all over and withered on the ground, emitting a fragrance of grass juice, which attracted the insects that had just awakened to fly over, but were scared away by the horses' hooves.
The Yunzhou cavalry, wearing the morning sun robes, marched in unison towards Yongzhou.
In an instant, a murderous atmosphere spread throughout the land.
In the formation, Zhuge Yu, sitting on a plain carriage, looked very impressive, like a shining gem, attracting everyone's attention.
The Xixia envoy was obviously also fooled by him, and the tip of his tongue touched his back teeth: "Duke Yun is indeed favored by heaven, and there are many talented people under his command. It's really enviable."
Wang Anshi did not comment, but could only say that this scene would definitely be recorded by the painters of Yunzhou Weekly and spread throughout the Kyushu continent.
"Archers ready."
Xie Runtian shouted hoarsely.
The Xixia envoy thought about it, took a few steps back, and asked a soldier to hold a shield in front of him.
He turned his head and saw Wang Anshi didn't move, but even stuck his head out, with an expression of great interest on his face: "Aren't you afraid of the rain of arrows later?"
Wang Anshi laughed and said, "Have you forgotten that there are firearms in Yunzhou?"
The Xixia envoy's expression froze. He knew that the Yunzhou cannons and firearms were powerful, but he had never actually seen what they looked like on the battlefield.
Therefore, it was difficult for him to understand Wang Anshi's ideas.
Obviously, Zhuge Yu also brought the Yunzhou cannon this time.
The Yunzhou army stayed outside the firing range of the Yongzhou defenders and deployed ten Yunzhou cannons.
Xie Runtian kept a tense expression on his face, but his hands were shaking slightly and his eyes were fixed on the opposite side.
After the artillery was set up, Zhuge Yu did not launch an attack, but sent out Temuqile.
Temuqile rode his horse fearlessly and arrived at the gate of Yongzhou.
The Yongzhou defenders drew their bows to their full potential, but were hesitant to shoot the first arrow.
On the opposite side, are the Yunzhou cavalry, which is famous throughout the world!
The last inexplicable arrow caused the Yunzhou cavalry to besiege the city.
If another arrow is shot this time, wouldn’t Yongzhou City be massacred?
Temuqile's voice is like the humming on the grassland, low and yet able to be carried far away by the wind, like a call from distant and ancient times.
"Mr. Zhuge said that the first shot should be fired at the horse-faced enemy in the northwest. After a quarter of an hour, your defenders can withdraw."
Temuqile said it three times in a row before he rode back.
There was chaos on the city wall.
Especially the defenders on the horse-mound in the northwest, they ignored the supervisor's shouting and swarmed to escape from the horse-mound.
"Didn't you hear them say that the artillery was going to hit us?! Get out of the way, don't force me to use a knife!"
This is the Yunzhou artillery, the Yunzhou artillery that made the officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou unable to raise their heads!
"Yunzhou Weekly" reported that on the battlefield of Guangde Prefecture, flesh and blood turned into mud and could not be dug out.
If it was just an ordinary siege, everyone would still hold on to a glimmer of hope. What if the enemy attacked another city gate? Would it have nothing to do with them?
But Yunzhou directly issued a notice to attack the Northwest Horse-Faced Army. This is a situation where death is 100% certain!
run!
Run quickly!
Not running would be disrespectful to this life.
Seeing that the other party almost caused the guards on the city wall to mutiny with just one sentence, Xie Runtian was so angry that his chest heaved violently.
"Everyone should do their job. Everyone should go back. Anyone who dares to move will be punished by military law."
The Xixia envoy took a few steps and stood close to Wang Anshi: "Your Mr. Zhuge is really amazing. He can shake the enemy's morale with just one sentence."
Wang Anshi: "Haha, let's wait and see."
The Western Xia envoy did not understand what this meant, but a quarter of an hour later, he understood.
I saw a fireball shot out from the Yunzhou cannon, forming a beautiful parabola, and smashing heavily on the horse's face of Xibeifeng with the force of thunder.
In an instant, the horse face in the northwest collapsed!
