Xiao Siwen was in a low mood, so Bai left with YànYàn.
YànYàn stayed in Bai's room, lying on the table without saying a word, staring at the candle flames blankly, but Pity Xixi looked listless.
Bai was about to persuade her to go to bed, but YànYàn murmured: I'm scared, but I dare not tell my father.I heard that people fly in the sky all day long in the city...
That's a rumor, don't be afraid.Bai quickly comforted.
Those Khitans were always arrogant and boastful in Youzhou, which was really hateful, but not all Khitans were so hateful, just like the little lady in front of them. Bai usually felt that this little lady was very close to her, and now she sympathized with her even more... The Khitans were arrogant and powerful, but they did not expect that the strong would have their own strength and the strong would be the best. When the war broke out, who could be completely safe?
Bai himself was uneasy and his face was pale.
She sat in front of the dressing table, lowered her head and saw her bald head.
She hates this hairstyle very much!
Now, not only do you hate it, but you also feel that it will bring disaster. Looking at this scene, if the Zhou army attacked the city and was in chaos, would they kill themselves as a Khitan woman?!
Bai said nothing, prepared a pair of scissors, intending to cut off his hair when the city of Youzhou was broken.
Being a nun is better than burying a Khitan for burial.
Of course, she didn't want to be killed by a Khitan woman. She was first forced to be arrested by the Khitan man, and now she is going to be regarded as an enemy by the Zhou people. Wouldn't that be unfair?
She looked at YànYàn again and thought to herself that YànYàn was the daughter of the King of the South Courtyard, with a noble status, but she was not at the turn of worrying about it.
Bai sat there, very frightened and didn't know where to go.Many years have passed. Her family was originally in Zhuozhou. Zhuozhou was once slaughtered. After several vicissitudes, the Lu family must be gone...
This is the saddest thing for people. They are forced to be slaves and maids. One day they are liberated, but they find that there is no place to go.
...The situation in Youzhou City touches everyone's heart.The person who cannot let go of the most is its current owner, Xiao Siwen.
Looking up at the bright moon, looking down at the hometown.Xiao Siwen looked disappointed, looked at the moon in the night sky outside the carved window alone, and murmured to recite a poem.
The breeze poured in and flipped the books and files on the table, and the desolation that could not be said tonight was as if his mood could not calm down for a long time.
The country, family, and individual, a kind of feelings surged into my heart.
Back then, the Khitan tribe was just a prison state of the Tang Dynasty in the northeast. After several developments, our ancestors had today's huge territory and national power... Xiao Siwen couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he deduced the serious consequences after the Battle of Youzhou!
He also has his lifelong ambitions and personal future, and now he is even more in the dark.
Xiao Siwen could not surrender. The Xiao family was second only to the royal family since the founding of the Daliao country. As the most prominent person in the Xiao family, he could not afford to lose his face!
He thought of death and apologized for his death!
But, what crime did I have?All sins are just imposed by others and have taken the disaster for others, not to mention that even if he dies, he cannot bear the disaster.
Xiao Siwen calmed down and saw this clearly: the root cause lies in the power struggle in the Liao Dynasty for many years, and it has never been cleared. No one is the biggest crime in the near future. However, the person in power in Shangjing was the one who was in power. He was generous and lacked long-term vision and made mistakes again and again!
Xiao Siwen walked to the window and looked out the window, as if he had passed through Youzhou City and turned to a farther place.
He can't bear such a great responsibility... The Liao Dynasty has been in a dire situation for so many years, and the situation is getting worse day by day. Only one person can bear all such responsibility: Emperor of the Liao Dynasty!
He must be a fool, a tyrant, and a sinner who has been infatuated for thousands of years. It is precisely because of Yelu Jing in power that the Liao Dynasty was in such a state!
The fall of Youzhou has reached the extreme of patience of the whole country in the Great Liao Dynasty.
……
Half a month later, the moat in Youzhou City was only filled with a large section.
After the long roar of cannons, behind the barriers of the Zhou army, the armor sounded loudly, and the infantry slowly moved forward and passed through the siege fortifications.
In front of the crowd, a group of horses rushed over. People quickly recognized that the horse in the middle was Emperor Guo Shao, and they looked over, and the troops started to clamor.
Guo Shao slowed down and looked back at the tall and thick Youzhou city wall. The bricks were covered with holes, and the female wall above collapsed in a mess, but the city wall still stood... It was impossible to smash the earth wall twenty or thirty meters thick with the projected stones alone!
In the end, people have to be used to rush and attack until the defenders' fighting spirit is exhausted.
There is no other way.
Guo Shao looked at the men in front of him with some pain, and his eyes looked at their windy and sun-drained faces one by one.
He couldn't help but say: Only when the Han ancestors cut through thorns could there be a farming place.Our tribe settled down in this hometown, striving to survive and face!I hope that the blood of the soldiers can ensure peace between the country and the world and the people!
The military soldiers looked at Guo Shao as if they were looking at the gods. At this time, someone knelt on the ground in a moving manner, and many people knelt down and shouted long live.
Soon, the drums in the camp behind sounded.A general drew his sword and shouted: Brothers, drive forward for Your Majesty, long live the Emperor of the Great Zhou!
For a moment, the armored soldiers rushed, pushing the ladder like a tide, carrying the ladder forward.
The troops braved their crossbows and stone bullets and pushed them within a hundred steps and stopped moving forward again.In the camp behind, suddenly, the huge cannon sounded shaking the sky and the earth.
A row of white smoke rose up.Almost instantly, the second row of artillery fired immediately afterwards, and fire was sprayed on the ground, and gunpowder smoke filled the air.
After several rounds of volleys of artillery fire, the drums were loud and the horns were loud.People in front of him shouted, and countless people rushed up frantically in the rain of arrows.
Guo Shao turned to look south. The city walls in the distance were filled with black smoke. The ladders and tower cars were ignited with raging fires. The ignited arrows in the air were like meteor showers.
In this way, there will be a large number of casualties every day.
But Guo Shao cannot stop, he cannot stop people from dying... Perhaps, compared to the defeated casualties, as long as he can win, he has saved the lives of a large number of soldiers!
Even his throne and prestige were forged in these countless bloodshed!The strong live, the weak die, and there is no choice.
The siege on all sides continued until dusk, and the city of Youzhou was already terrible.
The Zhou army retreated to the defense line, but the matter was not over yet. A large number of wounded soldiers were carried to the wounded camp. The moans were faintly heard in the smoke of gunpowder, and more than 200,000 troops seemed to be licking their wounds in the setting sun.
A group of generals hurried to the Central Army camp, and the former camp military government deployed to continue tomorrow's offensive.
The discussion continued until the evening.
At this time, the personal military general Qin Shitou, who was bent down next to Guo Shao, took out a note, and received a secret report. Xiao Siwen might have to leave the city in the early morning of tomorrow?
decisive battle?Guo Shao was stunned for a moment. Shouldn’t he break through? It’s pretty good to say.He was happy all of a sudden. Xiao Siwen did a good job, which was a timely help.
Guo Shao almost thanked Xiao Siwen. He simply went out of the city to compete, so that many Zhou army soldiers could survive!
At this moment, another general came in and held a military salute on one knee: Your Majesty, Xiao Siwen used a hanging basket to send the envoy out to send a letter of war, and he wanted to set up a decisive battle with the Great Zhou army!
The big tent immediately became an uproar.
YànYàn stayed in Bai's room, lying on the table without saying a word, staring at the candle flames blankly, but Pity Xixi looked listless.
Bai was about to persuade her to go to bed, but YànYàn murmured: I'm scared, but I dare not tell my father.I heard that people fly in the sky all day long in the city...
