"The enemy doesn't want to attack Dongcheng." Li Yuanfang said with a smile.

There is an urn at the east gate, a moat but no bridge. Apparently the Northern Zhou army was hesitant.

"If they want to turn, we will follow them." Luo Yi nodded and reached out to point Yu Wengong not far away, "With such a prisoner here, they dare not use the trebuchet."

Sure enough, the Northern Zhou army once again turned to the south gate, and the Han army also re-defended the south gate. Each cannon was equipped with wheels, and it ran no slower than the Northern Zhou army outside the city.

This time, the Northern Zhou army probably noticed the newly repaired gap in the southern city wall and made up its mind to launch an attack from here.

The musketeers were already arrayed on the city wall, and the artillery was "head held high."

Lu Peng and Zu Fan were "surrounded" to the south gate, and still stood together with the two unlucky prisoners. Looking at the scene in front of them, their hearts began to beat fast.

If arrows and stone bullets didn't have eyes, they would really have to sacrifice themselves for their family.

Even if there is a prince accompanying them, they don't want to die.

However, the Northern Zhou army obviously did not have the courage to send their Prince Yan to see Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After a brief hesitation, all the trebuchets were concentrated on the other side away from Yuwen Gong.

When they intended to move forward, Luo Yi decisively gave the order to fire.

The artillery roared, and shells spurted out one after another. In terms of range, even these light artillery dismantled from warships were slightly better than the trebuchets equipped by the Northern Zhou army. Those who could truly surpass this kind of artillery in terms of range

There is only the improved version proposed by the Ministry of Industry for the Thunderbolt Vehicle. It is as huge as a hill. However, instead of spending a lot of money to build such a giant Thunderbolt Vehicle, it is naturally better to build more artillery. In terms of demolition capabilities and costs, artillery

But they are all slightly better.

His Majesty once said that we must ensure both quality and quantity.

The shells passed through the crowd like a rake, leaving bloody flesh everywhere they touched.

Yuwen Gong on the city squatted on the ground in fear. If his hands were not tied behind his back, he would have fled away. Yuwen Gong's reaction made Cui Yanmu next to him sigh, "A tiger father has no dog son." This is a pity.

Your Majesty is such a heroic figure, yet he actually has such a disappointing son.

However, if you think about it, you can understand that when Yu Wenxian became famous, it was when Yu Wen Yong took over the power. As Yu Wen Yong's younger brother, Yu Wen Xian was loyal enough. In order to show his loyalty, he could not give up his own heir.

They have all been cultivated into ambitious and capable figures. Firstly, he does not have the time, and secondly, his behavior will only arouse the vigilance and vigilance of Yu Wenyong and Yu Wenyun and his son.

Not to mention Yu Wenyong's trust in his younger brother, there have always been conflicts between Yu Wen Yun and Yu Wen Xian. Yu Wen Xian certainly did not want to cause excessive dissatisfaction with the future emperor. After all, the power of life and death was still in his hands.

It is a pity that after the children of his own grew up, Yu Wenxian and Yu Wenyun broke up again and established their own banner in Yecheng. Naturally, they had no time to take care of these sons. Of course, they also invited great scholars to teach them, but as a royal family

Children and grandchildren, although their lives are not arrogant and luxurious, laziness and comfort have penetrated into their bones.

If you let them fight for power or even be jealous, they may still be competent, but if you let them face a life-and-death battle, it's strange that they are not afraid.

Therefore, although Cui Yanmu was well aware of Yuwen Gong's previous intention to compete with him for control of Youzhou's civil affairs, he never expressed his opposition clearly. He knew very well that with this guy's ability, he could

It's weird to manage the civil affairs well, let alone him. Even if Dugu Yongye and his son came, it would be difficult for them to do it without their own help. Therefore, Cui Yanmu can be said to be arrogant because of his talent. In fact, he didn't let these warriors go at all.

In the eyes.

The same is true now. In terms of understanding of the civil affairs of Youzhou, no one can be better than him, so Cui Yanmu is waiting for Luo Yi to respectfully persuade him to surrender. This is better than surrendering on his own initiative.

However, Luo Yi never seemed to have this intention. Considering that he had an immediate war that needed to be resolved urgently, Cui Yanmu did not share his common understanding.

Little did he know that Luo Yi was also looking at the people here at this time. Yuwen Gong was just a waste who had never experienced any war. Luo Yi was not worried about what troubles he could make, and he was shown the power of artillery one after another.

Especially when faced with armored cavalry, artillery still has the ability to destroy everything, which is enough to make him lose all his fighting spirit.

As for the two family heads in Yanjun City, looking at the scene before them, they should understand whether Luo Yi has defended Yanjun's capital, and I am afraid they have a clear idea of ​​where to go.

In fact, Luo Yi did not intend to entrust the remaining Cui Yanmu with important responsibilities. He had no choice but to do so. The Cui family in Qinghe was still under the banner of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Luo Yi could not guarantee whether Cui Yanmu would cause any trouble.

, and although this person has some abilities, he has always been arrogant. It may not be so easy for him to become a Han minister obediently. Luo Yi is not in a good mood to beg him to become an official.

No matter how tight the talent within the Han Dynasty is, it has not reached the point where even a single local official cannot be dispatched. On the contrary, many local and state officials now need to be promoted to make room for the more and more young people behind.

If this guy can recognize the reality obediently and take the initiative to ask for help for the big man, then Luo Yi won't mind getting him a job, but if he is stubborn and waits for Luo Yi to beg him hard, then I'm sorry.

, there are many people in your position who need you. Without you, Youzhou will still be Youzhou, and a big man will still be a big man.

"Boom!" There was a roar from the city. It turned out that a catapult was torn apart by a cannonball.

The surrounding Northern Zhou soldiers fled in a hurry.

However, the other catapults quickly advanced within the shooting range, and the next moment, the Han army soldiers on the top of the city also received "greetings" from the Northern Zhou army.

Luo Yi still stood on the top of the city with his horizontal sword. The stone bullets came very scattered, either on the left or on the right. However, no one went to greet Yuwen Gong on the top of the city. Even

Even the archers and crossbowmen of the Northern Zhou Dynasty did not dare to shoot arrows in this direction. Now that Dugu Yongye has not arrived yet, the general who commanded the army to attack the city did not dare to give such an order. If something bad happened to His Highness King Yan, he simply could not afford it.

responsibility.

The Northern Zhou army began to advance under the cover of the crossbowmen. Of course, they did not have any large ladder trucks. They all used light ladders. The queue was very scattered before, but now they are approaching the city, and their troops are gradually gathering.

Luo Yi watched the military formation getting closer and closer and decisively ordered:

"Fire!"
Chapter completed!
