Chapter 276: Another City

The current situation in Yizhou is very dangerous. Zhao Kuangyi used arrow towers and gunpowder to frequently attack the city. Although the losses were not large, it was a fatal blow to the morale of the army.

The people in the city had to fight back, but they went out of the city to fight back and faced the attacks of Zhou soldiers.

Han Tong, Zhang Yongde, Gao Huaide, Yang Ye, and many generals were all holding on to their strength to make great contributions. They were elusive and had sharp means. If there were fewer people in the city, they would eat them and avoid them if there were too many soldiers. If the city was chasing them too far, they would gather a few people and start together.

After more than half a month of hard work, more than 2,000 people were lost in the city. What's even more fatal is that the teacher and veterans are exhausted and have become the last of their strength.

Li Zaiqin was angry and vomited blood. Although he was still patrolling and defending these days and did not dare to relax for a moment, he knew that he had suffered internal injuries and was quite serious!

There seemed to be a ball of fire in his chest, and from time to time, his eyes turned black, his legs became weak, and his upper body was worried. Li Zaiqin knew some medical skills. If he recovered from his injuries, he might be able to live for a few years. But now the military situation outside the city is like fire, and Zhou Bing is coming in at any time. Can he rest?

He was still going on day and night every day, and after a while, he became sick again, coughing with blood, and urine turned red... Li Zaiqin was afraid, and he knew he couldn't last long.

Hiding on the table, he shivered his hands, spread out his memorials, wrote a memorial to the Khitan emperor, and prayed to the emperor to send troops to rescue him.

Li Zaiqin no longer expects Xiao Siwen.

The old fox didn't know how to fight, and was afraid of death. He was willing to leave his troops north of Youzhou and wait for the Great Zhou people to kill him, but he was not willing to go on an expedition honestly and ran to Yizhou to fight with Zhou soldiers.

Xiao Siwen's strategy is not wrong, and it is also in line with the character of the grassland tribe.

The Central Plains dynasty has always been strong. When counterattacking the grasslands, nomadic tribes would choose to avoid their edge, attack the food roads, and rely on guerrilla tactics to defeat powerful enemies.

Zhou Bing was full of morale and had abundant logistics, so he took the initiative to seek battle, which was to hit the stone with eggs.

But if you wait for Zhou Bing to pass, the supply line will be extended and the flaws will appear, and the opportunity will come.

To put it bluntly, Xiao Siwen regarded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun as a buffer zone, and the Han officials who defected to the Khitan and the southern officials became his abandoned sons.

Unfortunately, Li Zaiqin is one of them... I am loyal to Your Majesty. I am willing to pick my heart off for the sake of the Khitan... The court cannot treat me like this. Your Majesty, you must send someone to save me!

Li Zaiqin kept begging and praying as if possessed. He sent out the memorial for help, and then turned his fingers to look forward to the arrival of reinforcements.

Li Zaiqin didn't know that during this period, the defenders were extremely tired. Although many people were stationed in the city, they couldn't open their eyes. Some leaned against the corner of the wall, some hid on the steps, and they slept. The defense in the city became more and more relaxed.

At this moment, Chen Ming and a team of engineers were digging rapidly underground.

They were like gophers, digging out a tunnel and leading straight to the city.

After half a month of construction, they finally completed it!

"Marty, take Yizhou down tonight!"

Zhao Kuangyin was dressed in military uniform and was confident.

Ye Hua smiled slightly, stood in the military camp, looking at the dark Yizhou. The moon was dark and the wind was high, and it was a good time!

"Well, who can break the city first and catch Li Zaiqin will have a great reward!"

"clear!"

Everyone was cheered up and clenched their fists excitedly.

At this time, Chen Ming and others had carefully dug up the soil above their heads and climbed out from the ground. Their shoes were wrapped in a thick layer of cloth, and they did not dare to make any sound.

Climb out of the tunnel and there is a moat in front of you. After passing the moat, it is Yizhou City Wall.

A soldier first arrived by the river and spread the ladder on the river. The people behind him, carrying gunpowder bags and wrapped in black clothes, climbed over the ladder, and sent gunpowder bags to the city and piled them up.

This process was very terrifying. Everyone's heart was in his throat. If there was a slight mistake, the people in the city discovered that they had to attack the city. It is hard to say how many people would be killed or injured.

Chen Ming was not a god, so he began to recite the Bodhisattva blessing.

Almost half an hour passed, the gunpowder under the city had exceeded 2,000 kilograms!

It's time to attack the city at around 3:00!

The engineers were excited and retreated into the tunnel. Chen Ming lit the fuse with his own hands.

Mars only flashed at his hand and entered the bamboo tube, passing through the bamboo tube of the ladder, and all the way to the city. At this moment, Chen Ming and his friends had turned around and climbed quickly, using their hands and feet together, and the farther they ran, the better.

But even so, everyone felt the earth under them tremble suddenly, throwing them up, and then throwing them to the ground. Floating soil kept falling from above, making a sensation.

When they crawled out of the ground, each of them was covered in mud, like a little ghost, and almost buried under the ground and couldn't get out.

It's really hard to fight for life!

Chen Ming looked back and suddenly became happy.

It turned out that Yizhou City had been blown up, about five feet long.

The soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty protruded and rushed towards the hole.

Han Tong took the lead and was the first to enter Yizhou.

He danced with a long knife in his hand, and chopped melons and vegetables similarly. The Khitan soldiers could not resist it in a hurry and all fled in scattered ways.

Han Tong chased these people's butts and killed them.

The soldiers behind rushed in, some people opened the city gate, and the rest of the Zhou soldiers rushed in.

The huge Yizhou City is full of Zhou soldiers, with fire everywhere, and the shouts are shaking the sky and earth. It is like a boiling iron pot.

Li Zaiqin woke up in shock. He suddenly turned over and got off the bed. He didn't even have time to wear the armor. When he got outside, he saw the light of fire rising into the sky. He screamed in pain, and tears came out of fear.

This is over!

He hurriedly got on his horse, called his trusted subordinates to protect him, ran along the street, and wanted to rush out of the city. He didn't run far, and happened to meet Han Tong.

"Hahaha, I'm finally lucky. You'll die!"

Han Tong rushed over, waved his weapons and shone cold lights. The Khitans were so scared that they retreated one after another. Li Zaiqin gritted his teeth. He was a general at least, so he fought hard!

Li Zaiqin raised the horse spear in his hand and stabbed Han Tong. Han Tong used a long sword to block it. He obviously felt that Li Zaiqin was not strong enough. Han Tong suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the rod of the horse spear, and pulled it hard. Li Zaiqin wanted to resist, but his eyes turned black and fell off the horse's back. He opened his mouth and vomited a ball of blood!

Han Tong snatched the horse spear and slashed towards Li Zaiqin's neck. A head was rolled out so far. His men and horses saw this scene and collapsed without fighting and fled one after another.

As soon as the sky was dawn, Yizhou fell into Zhou Bing's hands!

Reclaimed another city!

When someone else was fighting, Ye Hua wrote good news in the military camp. When the city was obtained, Ye Hua's good news was also delivered. The efficiency was so high...

The messenger sent it to the capital within two days at a speed of 800 miles.

"Good news, good news ahead!"

"Our army won a great victory, champion Hou showed his power and captured Yizhou!"

"Yizhou is ours, Youzhou is right in front of you!"

...

If the previous good news only makes everyone happy, relieved, and inspired... then this good news makes the capital boil, and everything boils from the journey down.

Yizhou is not big, far less than the victory of the ten counties in Guannan, why is there such a movement?

Bonds in a nutshell!

When launching war bonds, many people just wanted to make efforts to liberation Yan Yun, so they spared no expense to buy bonds. But with the news of victory, war bonds became the treasure that everyone pursued overnight.

In less than a month, the initial issuance price has increased by as much as 20%!

You should know that if you lend usury, there are not many people who have a monthly profit of over 20%.

With the guarantee of the open investment, the court will make 20% of the money a month. I don’t know how much I am so happy. Everyone can see that when Yan Yun takes it back completely, the bonds will rise.

There are even people in Beijing now, with a premium of 30% to acquire bonds.

Several husbands were knocked out a lot, and now they look at it, it seems that they have made a profit.

"I bought 8,000 guan. If I sell it at this time, I can earn 2,400 more guan!" Li Gu laughed, "I didn't expect that I also have 1,000 guan. It's not bad, it's really good!"

Wei Renpu, who was sitting opposite him, rolled his eyelids, "Mr. Li, you still have money and you will be safe. You will never be at ease with your bonds. We priests should not be obsessed with this... Now that someone buys it, you can sell it! It will not be too late to lose the population in the future."

Li Gu thought about it for his own sake, and it made sense, and said casually: "Grandpa Wei, who do you think I'll sell it to?"

Wei Renpu suddenly came to Li Gu and whispered: "That... if you are willing, just sell it to me. I will add another volume of the lonely book to you based on the market price? Two volumes are OK!"

In an instant, Li Gu's face turned dark, you are too shameless!

"I said to Mr. Wei, you are so mean and crying for poverty. You only took out five thousand guan at the beginning. How about it? You regret it! It deserves it! This is called self-inflicted!"

The dignified master of the magistrate was also made up of bonds, not to mention others.

Miss Feng's face was blushing. She specially bought the best wine to respect the elderly Feng Dao.

"Grandfather, I made three hundred trump cards!"

Old Fengdao smiled slightly, "Okay, you have the ability and can make money. From now on, grandpa's good wine will be indispensable!"

Miss Feng's bright eyes flashed, and she also poured herself a glass of wine. After drinking, her little face became more delicate and tender.

"I made money, but Miss Fu San earned a mountain of gold and silver. In just one month, she had 500,000 yuan in the account. She was simply reincarnated by the God of Wealth, turning stones into gold!"

Miss Feng couldn't help but say, "You shouldn't have burned anything. You can earn 15,000 guan!"

"Hahaha!"

Feng Dao suddenly laughed, "When my grandfather's age is, money is something outside my body. I really want to know if that Miss Fu San is like you, just caring about this profit!"
