832 Tsuneyoshi Kuniku-kusō
Five days before the Battle of Guangdu, in the Grass Lonely City that had been captured by the Tianyang Army, a man dressed in ordinary people's clothes came to Lu Xun's residence to ask for a meeting. Immediately after the soldier's briefing, Lu Xun received the man.
"Meet the general."
"No need, Bi Sheng. Tell me about the news in town. Lu Xun personally invited this man named Bi Sheng to the seat next to him.
"The master of my house has already arranged the manpower and the place, and the reason for sending me here today is to give the map to the general." Bi Sheng then took out a piece of parchment and handed it to Lu Xun.
On the map, it is a topographic map of the Guangdu City, from the city wall facilities to the residential streets, all of which are clearly displayed on it, and some locations are marked with numbers.
"Moreover, the master of my family also found the best tomb robber in the world, and today he also came with me to the general's place, and then sent by the general."
Lu Xun looked at the map carefully, constantly confirming in his mind the plan that needed to be executed.
"[Jin Yuqing] Where are you now, can you tell me?"
"The whereabouts of my master are really uncertain, and I have always been contacted only by unilateral letters, but I really don't know where I am."
"Isn't guangdu city sealed down yet?"
Strange to say, Ming Ming's soldiers came to the city, but Zhao Yan, who was in charge of the city, ordered that the city be opened until today, so that the people could stay freely. After today, I will no longer let people out of the city, and I will seize this last day to come out. ”
"As it is, it seems that he intends to use his life to accompany this city of heaven to bury."
Lu Xun then asked, "I invited the tomb robber to come in, I have something to discuss..."
……
Time returned to the night of the Guangdu Raiders, and Lü Xun discussed the siege with the lieutenant generals in the big tent of the Chinese army.
"I do have some ideas, but the stakes are high." Lu Xun took out the internal structure map of the Guangdu City and pointed to the location of the East City Gate to everyone.
"Because of the siege of the city on all sides, we set up tents around the Guangdu City. At the west gate, the enemy's garrison is the strongest, after all, it is the main force of our army. Therefore, on the opposite side of the eastern city wall, the enemy's garrison is relatively weak. ”
The deputy general of the Tianyang Army, who was in charge of the strategy of the East Gate, nodded: "Indeed, after today's observation, the defenders of the East Gate are probably more than 10,000, which is the least of the defenders on all sides." ”
Lu Xun went on to explain: "I have received information from informants in the city a few days ago, and I have obtained this map, and there will be dozens of people in the city who will help us open the city gates. ”
The generals were surprised, they did not know when General Lü Xun had installed so many internal responses in the Guangdu City, and they kept it secret to this day.
Yu Qiu then asked, "With dozens of people, even if it is the East Gate with the fewest defenders, I am afraid it will be difficult to secretly open the door from the inside." ”
"Of course, so we must attack as hard as possible so that the defenders have no time to take care of the rear situation, and we need to send a few hundred more elite soldiers to the city to ensure that the city gate can be opened smoothly."
"Send it in? How do we send our soldiers into the city? This time it was Yuqiu Jian who raised the question.
Lu Xun smiled: "Dig the tunnel." After years of peaceful destruction, the descendants of the Sima family actually filled in the moat, which was the price of their arrogance. ”
He took out another piece of parchment, on which was a screenshot of an authentic horizontal picture. And this tunnel actually led from the Tianyang Army directly to the Guangdu City.
"The people I said would use the three houses closest to the eastern city wall as the reception point, that is, the exit of the tunnel. This can not only ensure the safety and concealment of the passage, but also allow many people to hide inside.
If the previous mound tunnel model is adopted, as long as the mound is dug up by the wall, it will definitely attract the attention of the enemy army and destroy the tunnel.
So we have to make a tunnel with our barracks tent as the entrance, so that when we do our work, there is also fighting ahead, and they will not find that our barracks soldiers who remain in the camp are digging tunnels.
Moreover, in addition to the daytime attacks, we also had to carry out war harassment in batches at night. There is no need to siege the city, just keep shouting.
First, it can make the Light Division army highly nervous at night, unable to rest, weakening their mental strength; second, the noise we make can distract them and make them ignore our night-time digging in the tent.
That is to say, these feints are all for the service of tunnel warfare. ”
The generals sighed one after another, and they had arranged so many blindfolds, which was worthy of Lu Xun. But there is also one of the most important things that worries them.
"General, from our eastern barracks tent to the houses designated in the map, there are at least eight hundred meters, and in addition to time, how to ensure that our tunnels will not collapse in the middle, I am afraid that it will take a professional architect to do it."
Pang Yi put forward his own opinion, the difficulty of this project should be far greater than he imagined.
"Actually, I have found a well-known tomb robber in the martial forest, a messenger soldier, to invite Mr. Yuan San to come in." The person Lu Xun summoned to summon the soldiers was the tomb robber that Bi Sheng had brought from Guangdu City before.
In the next hour, Lü Xun asked Yuan San to explain in detail the methods and precautions for building the long tunnel, and after winning the trust of the deputy generals, Lü Xun continued to explain the respective tasks of the Tianyang Army in the four directions.
The Tianyang Army, which was in four directions, north, south, west, and east, still used siege weapons and bows and arrows to carry out long-range attacks in the days that followed.
Minimize the damage of ordinary soldiers so as not to drain morale.
At night, hundreds of people were also divided into shouts at the city gates, creating the illusion of a feint.
The Eastern Army, which was actually carrying out its operations, would build a large tent at the front of the battalion for concealed excavation of entrances and dust.
The excavators sent by the original three, a total of three thousand elite soldiers, excavated day and night, and tried to dig within ten days.
On the eighth day of the cooperation of the soldiers, the passage was finally dug, and hard wooden stakes were added to the tunnel every other distance to prevent collapse.
The width of the passage entrance allowed two people to pass through at the same time, so on the night of the tenth day, three hundred members of the "Dense Forest" team, the most adept at stealthy operations in Lu Xun's special unit [Wind Forest Volcano], fished through the tunnel entrance of the East Barracks tent and joined the city's receivers.
In the three houses, it was soon filled with people.
However, due to the shouts of the Tianyang Army outside, coupled with the fatigue of the defenders for many days and the psychology of habitual attack, no one noticed at all, these hundreds of people took advantage of the night to touch the inside of the city gate, quickly removed the small number of non-commissioned officers guarding the door, and removed the giant door latch.
Seeing that the city gate was wide open, the Tianyang Army, which had prepared for tonight's general attack in advance, was already ready to go. The Guangsi Army did not notice at all that the Number of Tianyang Troops under the city tonight was much larger, because they had no illuminated field of vision, and the extra Tianyang Army did not shout, and the defenders naturally could not find it.
As a result, the defense of the eastern city wall was thus breached by tens of thousands of Tianyang troops. Subsequently, other city gates were also opened by the Tianyang Army, and the Guangdu City was completely captured from all directions.
Zhao Yan failed again, but he had done everything he could and completed his final mission. The Zhen Tianding that Tianzi had kept had been sent away, and the Sima family had also retained the bloodline, and the rest was up to the princess and the little demon.
Armed with a sword and dozens of his own soldiers, he retreated while fighting until he reached the inner city. At this moment, a team wearing crimson armor rushed to the front, led by a general who looked young but was murderous.
Seeing Zhao Yan in front of him, the red armor general showed a happy look: "The person wearing the golden armor in front of him is the enemy general Zhao Yan, and the live catcher has a bounty of 10,000 taels and a bounty of 5,000 yuan for the first level!" ”
Zhao Yan looked around, the crimson armor soldiers, should be Lu Xun's own special unit [Agni], two years ago the other side's ironclad charge still makes him remember it vividly.
Anyway, it is better to die at the hands of a more powerful opponent.
"Whoever comes, name him."
"Captain Fire, Too Shi Ze."
"Come on, you and I are single-handed, and the credit for winning my first rank is yours."
Tai Shi Ce laughed loudly: "What is your plan, do you think you can win me by single-handedly?" I thought you Zhao Yan was a powerful figure, twice defeated in the hands of my family's generals, really invincible "God of War"! ”
Zhao Yan ignored the other party's ridicule, and he issued an invitation again: "General Taishi Wu yong is superior, are you still afraid of me, the person who is going to die?" I just want to exchange my life for the safety of the whole city. ”
The soldiers on the side all dissuaded Zhao Yan, but Zhao Yan insisted on going head-to-head with Tai Shi Ce, and this situation of pushing and shoving me made Tai Shi Ce angry.
"It's really ugly, the general of the defeated army is still talking about the conditions here." How the soldiers and the people deal with them is up to General Lu to decide, and you can influence it. Obediently tie your hands and grab them, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin! ”
Tai Shi Ce couldn't wait any longer, and at the sound of an order, the soldiers of the Agni Army rushed up and surrounded Zhao Yan. After a few minutes, Zhao Yan collapsed exhaustedly, without any strength to fight back.
Just before he was about to be caught, he raised his sword in his hand and killed himself.
"Hey, I just died like that." Zhao Yan was taken down and sent back to the camp, while the others and I continued to advance towards the palace. ”
The Agni were the first to rush in through the west gate, but their speed was slightly slower than the first Eastern Army to break the door.
Outside the palace of the Sima family, three thousand dense forest troops had already arrived, led by the captain of the dense forest, Chun Yudan.
In the [Wind Forest Volcano], the teams that broke the front in the past were basically the Fire Team.
This time, it was hard to let the dense forest get the opportunity to make the first contribution, and they even ran to the palace non-stop after breaking the door. After all, capturing Tianzi and getting the Zhentianding were the final instructions issued by the Tianyang King.
"Where is the Son of Heaven?"
Chun Yudan asked when he saw the eunuch and the palace maid along the way, and these people, without exception, pointed to the small room at the end of the palace. He also felt strange how Tianzi could hide in such a small place.
When he went inside to take a look, Chun Yudan shouted, "Where has the Son of Heaven gone?!" ”
There was only an empty bed, not even half a figure. An enraged Chun Yudan ordered the soldiers to go out for a carpet search, and the eunuchs and palace ladies who found the lying were immediately executed.
In the vast palace, although they saw many valuable gold and silver jewelry and beautiful harem ladies, they did not see the figure of the Son of Heaven.
Until a group of soldiers entered a room in the side hall and found the spiritual seat of Sima Zero, the Son of Heaven.
"The Son of Heaven died? when? ”
Chun Yudan did not know what was happening in the palace, thinking that it was a blind spot, so he still ordered the soldiers to continue the search, and the result was of course nothing.
As for Zhen Tianding, there is no clue.
Lü Xun also quickly arrived at the palace, knowing the news that Tianzi had died and Zhen Tianding was missing. He immediately sent someone to inspect the Tianzi Mausoleum in the west of the city, but it was only a fake mausoleum, and nothing was found.
In any case, the capture of the City of Light means that the Kingdom of Koji is close to extinction.
The news of Tianzi's death soon spread, and the country had no meaning of existence. The only pity is that I didn't get the Zhen tianding, for the Tianyang King, this is just a status symbol, so just keep looking, no harm.
The good news reached the Yang capital city, and the courtiers of the Tianyang Kingdom congratulated the Great King one after another, which was the first step for the Tianyang King to seize the world.
Inside the palace, Yang Shouduan, the 42nd Generation King of Tianyang, was looking out over his own country. He had never been outside of his homeland since he was born.
Yang Shouduan is 40 years old this year, which is the youngest time in his life. He had admired martial arts and martial arts since childhood, and if he had not carried the burden of the heir to the throne, he would rather have become a general who charged the battlefield.
In the Tianyang Kingdom, which had been ruled by military merit, Yang Shouduan paid more attention to military training, promoted generals who came from the bottom, but had the courage to be superior, so that the combat effectiveness of the Tianyang Army became the first in the world.
The inheritance left by his ancestors was already magnificent enough, but Yang Shouduan was not satisfied, he wanted to see the coast of the East China Sea, he wanted to see the western desert, such a big world, what else was there that he didn't know. True kings have always had great ambitions.
In the main hall behind him, there was a medium-sized bright black ding, and on this side was the Zhenguo heavy instrument of the Tianyang Kingdom, the Royal Heavenly Ding.
Legend has it that when the ancestors received this ding from the first Heavenly Son, it was placed on the necessary road to the main hall, and all the ministers would see and pass by every time they went to the court, in order to show glory.
However, a man's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Great King, the minister Bai Xiang has something to ask." Yang Shouduan looked back and saw that it was an inconspicuous little figure among the nobles of the side branch, Bai Xiang.
In the Kingdom of Tianyang, the Bai, Wang, and Zou clans were all side nobles of the Yang surname, but because of their marriage and relationship, they had been serving the family under the names of different clans.
In these huge aristocratic systems, Bai Xiang's appearance and talent were mediocre, so he also worked as a petty official in the dprk, but only Yang Shouduan looked up to him and chatted privately with him from time to time.
"What's the matter?"
"Although the city of Guangdu fell, didn't the Great King intend to welcome back sima shi or a new king to appease the hearts and minds of the Guangji kingdom?"
Yang Shouduan was quite unhappy.
In the history of the millennium, countless small countries have collapsed, and the royal family and the name of the country have disappeared together. But only the Nine Kingdoms that still exist today, even if there has been a crisis of annihilation, their royal families have not been really persecuted, at most imprisoned for many days.
In addition to the unique etiquette constraints of the nobles, the agreement that the Nine Kingdoms would also be loyal to the Sima family made it impossible for all the kings of later generations to kill the royal families of other countries.
But Yang Shouduan didn't think so.
He already intends to subvert this convention from his generation. In his eyes, the royal families of the other eight countries were not his opponents, so why could they still enjoy the royal treatment. If the people of the Sima family are still welcomed back to the Guangsi Kingdom and let them continue to rule, won't this battle be fought in vain?
Yang Shouduan patted Bai Xiang's shoulder: "In the future, the only one who can be called king is our Yang family, remember." The Kingdom of Guangji no longer exists, and the land there is the land of my Heavenly Sun. ”
Yang Shouduan finished speaking and walked out of the main hall.
Bai Xiang, who was staying where he was, sighed and said to himself, "It's difficult, it's difficult, it seems that we have to convene a meeting of the Seven Lords." ”
Thirty miles west of Guangdu City, Zhencheng was the first to receive the news that Guangdu City had been breached and Tianzi had died. The general of the castle immediately announced his surrender, lowered all the flags of the Guangji Kingdom, and waited for the Tianyang Army to come and receive it.
At this time, the two women and a wolfhound, who were secretly hiding in the city inn, decided to leave immediately and go to the neighboring country in the north, the Wind And Spirit Country.
The Haixia kingdom in the south received the same news a day later.
In a tavern in the country's second largest city, The Star City, many drunken people were chatting. To say that the son of heaven has changed people, this is the first time in eight hundred years, and everyone's excitement is reflected in the amount of alcohol.
However, there was a man sitting alone in the corner, and he was the only one in this tavern who still maintained his sanity.
The man was dressed in black with a bucket hat and a sword with a tiger stripe pinned to his waist.
After a while, a servant-like man came in, looked around, saw the man in black, and came over and took a letter from him.
Then the servant immediately turned and left the shop and walked several streets until he reached the small door of a mansion.
The owner of this mansion is Xia Jiurong, a nobleman of the Haixia Kingdom.
As a famous noble prince in the world, Xia Jiurong often entertained a large number of guests in the palace, and also raised many samurai, so that his mansion sang day and night, and people came and went endlessly.
The servant came in from the path, quietly walked through the houses, came to Xia Jiurong, who was drinking with the guests, and delivered the letter to him.
Xia Jiurong has a cool posture and extraordinary temperament, although his skin color is like snow, but his face is angular, and he is a beautiful man full of manhood.
Silently, he took a glass of water and turned around to pour it on the letter, and then the ink appeared and took on the shape of a word.
Xia Jiurong read the letter, threw it in a brazier beside it, burned it, ordered the housekeeper to go out for a few days, and then left the feast.
"Things are already going in the worst direction... It seems that only the king can be allowed to die. ”
