Chapter 113 A long dream

5days ago traverse Novels 2
On the road to the northeast, countless soldiers walked, with no heads and no tails in front of the people.

Li Chongjin sat on the horse and turned to Li Jixun and said: It’s okay for me to go to Haozhou. The matter in Shouzhou has nothing to do with me. Let’s wait and see how Guo Shao died!

Li Jixun remained silent, remembering that the camp outside Shouzhou City was attacked, he should have a responsibility... After all, Guo Shao came to ask for him.

Now that I think I really underestimated Liu Renzhan; if I could have expected that I would certainly not use military affairs as a joke for my personal prejudice, and I don’t have much prejudice against Guo Shao, but I just look down on his ability, he is too young.

Li Jixun pondered: Guo Dutu’s opponent is Liu Renzhan. It is indeed a bit unreasonable to ask him to compete with Liu Renzhan, and it is really a bit unreasonable, and he bullies the little one with the big one. Guo Du is also moldy enough.

He thought to himself: He is not Liu Renzhan's opponent either.Although Liu Renzhan took advantage of defending the city, he had few soldiers and the combat effectiveness of the Southern Tang army was not good.

Digging tunnels and building soil... Alas, I dare to issue a one-month military order. I don’t know if I can give him a one-year deadline. It depends on how much grain there is in Shouzhou City.Li Chongjin sighed, I really want to see how he died, but we didn’t get any benefits in Huai River. Guo Shao couldn’t force out reinforcements from Southern Tang in Shouzhou, so he had to wait for another month!Look at Yangzhou...

Speaking of this, Li Chongjin stopped, and he didn't want to mention Zhang Yongde's name.

Li Jixun and Zhao Kuangyin around him are said to be sworn brothers, and Zhao Kuangyin is Zhang Yongde's man... I'm too lazy to mention it.

Zhao Kuangyin's current glory was due to Zhang Yongde's efforts to seek credit for him after the Battle of Gaoping, otherwise Zhao Kuangyin would not have the chance to enter the emperor's eyes. This kind of kindness and the relationship between his old subordinates, Zhao Kuangyin must have vented his anger with Zhang Yongde.

……

Zhao Kuangyin from Yangzhou did play very easily.

He smiles all day long with a black face, and sometimes his face is almost laughing.

After entering Huainan, it was so smooth for some reason, as if it was favored by God. When I got along, I was very unrestrained and could often perform at will.

For example, when fighting Chuzhou, after a stoke, he tried to shoot down the commander of the Southern Tang Army alone, and even broke the city like this, just like reaching out to get something in his pocket.

Of course, he would not go to the city guarded by Liu Renzhan, and that was a place for fools to beat him.

Recently, he made new contributions. A group of soldiers originally crossed the river from the south bank of the Yangtze River to another place. When they found that Yangzhou was falling, they actually wanted to come over to attack Yangzhou.

Of course, Zhao Kuangyin did not let go of such people who came to the door. While sending people to ask for orders, he led the Iron Cavalry out of the city to attack without waiting for a reply.

After a large-scale rectification, the Iron Cavalry Army eliminated nearly half of the people and selected elite soldiers from all over the country to supplement their troops; the Iron Cavalry Army, with a number of as many as 30,000, had a large number of cavalry soldiers and was very good at fighting.

Zhao Kuangyin led the Iron Cavalry to attack an unknown army of the Southern Tang army without any tactics. Heavy cavalry was in front and brainlessly attacked, and the rear army rushed forward and killed people.

Defeat 30,000 Tang soldiers and kill more than 10,000 people in one day... As if cutting vegetables and melons were cut, the Southern Tang army was simply the head of the door.

Another great achievement!

……

But Guo Shao from Shouzhou is completely the opposite. He has used any means and is still very difficult.

Are you sure the length of the rope just reached the city wall?Guo Shao asked a soldier cautiously.

The soldier replied: That's right, the young man lay on the road for half a night. In the early morning, he saw the soldiers on the city wall dozing off, so he climbed to the corner and pulled the rope.

Guo Shao asked again like a long-winded woman: Is the rope straightened?The soldier replied: It's straight.

He lowered his head, and there was a black earth hole like a dry well next to it, and the tunnel was below it; but the tunnel head was in the second line of defense behind, and it was difficult to find the tunnel direction in the city now.

Moreover, there are 18 such tunnels around the city, scattered within twenty miles of the east, west and south.

After Li Chong entered, Guo Shao ordered the siege to stop all the siege and attack the city wall with only a stone casting cart. The most important thing for everyone all day long is to dig tunnels and build soil.

Guo Shao looked up and saw a fire at the foot of the city wall in the distance, and thick smoke rolled.Many soldiers were digging soil to put out the fire with shovels.

There are two earthen building blocks under construction, but it is very difficult.

On the front wall of Shouzhou City, the city wall is piled with soil and mountains. Obviously, no matter how enemies are, we know what Zhou Jun wants to do... If you pile up the soil by the wall, build the soil into a mountain, you can form a ramp next to the city wall without any need to attack it upwards.

But the generals don't think this method works.

He was very slow to stack soil at the foot of the city wall with arrows, stone wood, and turbulent tinder, and was attacked and harassed by the people on the wall.

The solution that Zhou Jun thought of was to first dig a ditch under the city wall, and then set piles, parquet boards and earth rammed boards on the edge of the ditch; he intended to repair a thick wall that was not strong and then demolish the wooden boards and push down the earth wall.

This is to avoid being attacked by arrows on the city wall.

However, just now, Tang Jun threw the ignited ignition oil jar with a stone throwing cart and burned the wooden board.

Yesterday was even more miserable. Unfortunately, a stone from a throwing cart happened to hit and directly knocked over the earth wall.

Even if this method of building soils took great effort to build and formed slopes, the city walls had been well prepared in narrow passages, and there were almost a hundred ways to block the Zhou army's attacking troops outside.

However, Guo Shao still ordered the troops to build soil and pile up mountains endlessly, and eighteen tunnels were also secretly digging.

Liu Renzhan must have guessed that Zhou Jun was digging tunnels, but it was difficult for him to find out where these tunnels were. It took him a lot of time to figure out the direction of each tunnel.

Guo Shao guessed that Liu Renzhan was also digging tunnels.

...Are there any omissions?Guo Shao kept asking himself.

The Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, more than half a month has passed.

Everything was ready, Guo Shao came to the warehouse in Xiacai Town, and the twelve coffins were placed flat in a room.

When he walked in, Guo Shao suddenly felt the illusion of a tragic wind, as if the whole family had died here.

It is just a large box made of wood, but it can give people a very intuitive and murderous atmosphere.

Open the coffin and fill it with gunpowder bags. Seal the cloth that has been soaked repeatedly with tung oil first, then wrap it with a quilt, and then seal it with a layer of oil cloth. This cloth is the cloth for making marching tents.

These gunpowders are the limit of raw materials that Li Gu can raise within one month, mainly because a large amount of saltpeter cannot be achieved for a while.

Is it powerful enough?Guo Shao asked, but he didn't know who to ask.No one next to him could answer, and they were all silent.

There is no precedent to follow in unprecedented attempts.

Unless you build a wall, lay a thick layer of stone on the foundation like the Shouzhou City Wall, and then bury gunpowder and try it... the only way to estimate the power in advance.

But Guo Shao had no chance.

He only has one chance to attack Shouzhou this time!

The city wall cannot be blown up, or it cannot be attacked but it has not been attacked... there is no time for a second preparation.

Even if there is, Liu Renzhan will not give you a second chance to raid.

The breakthrough is not wide enough, and there is probably a large number of collapsed earth and rocks blocking the road; as long as the city has targeted and properly prepared, there is a chance to react and block the entrance.

If you can't get rid of it, you have to return the military order. There is no joke in the army, let alone what you said to the emperor.

Guo Shao moved a bench and sat in front of the coffin to ponder, as if he was observing silence in front of the deceased, and was silent for a long time.The breath of death lingers everywhere.

After thinking about it several times for more than half a month, and with what he had been preparing to do before, he believed that success depends only on two things: First, whether the power of gunpowder is effective.

Second, did it paralyze Liu Renzhan and disrupt his vision?

If any problem occurs, the overall offensive plan will be ineffective.

During this festival, on the eve of this war, Guo Shao was in a very sad mood.

Originally, I came to make contributions, but it was a very unfortunate thing to spend in Shouzhou; now I don’t care about the benefits, but I have to worry about the head on my neck.

If Chai Rong gets caught, will the person still have a soul? Can he still return to his sister?Maybe I suddenly woke up after death. When I opened my eyes, I could see my sister's familiar face and said with a smile: You have a nightmare.

Yes, I had a long and long nightmare.

And he couldn't bear to wake up, the queen, and Yulian and a group of brothers.

If I had to choose one of the queen and sister, who would I choose to stay by my side?

Maybe if you can't pick either, you will lose everything...

Fu, I don’t even know your name, maybe you don’t have a name at all.It should have a nickname, right?But I don't know.

At this time, Guo Shao couldn't understand why he missed a woman who had never even met several times, a woman who did not belong to the same world, and so strongly.

But she can live without me...at least there will be an official to protect you and cherish you now.

Guo Shao did not have such thoughts about any woman in his two lives, thinking that everything could be rationally inferred.

But at this time, Guo Shao felt that he could not bear to leave Fu's... his favorite woman.

He can ignore right or wrong or rules, and even if there are ten thousand reasons that should not be wrong, he cannot control his feelings.

At this moment, he felt that he should thank Fu. Without her, how desperate and fearful he would be!

But the sadness and strength of attachment at this time far surpassed the fear of death.

There is no reason, Shao Ge'er had the impulse to be unable to control her for the first time, and this love is better than her life.

If you lose the battle, you may be arrested immediately and be caught in front of the emperor.

After Guo Shao thought about the results, he had no chance.

I have to tell Fu and tell her what I think... Guo Shao doesn't want to bring these words in his heart into the coffin.

I should also write a letter to Yulian and explain it.

All the property in Tokyo is under the control of Yulian, and she will be distributed to several other people according to her own wishes.

Yulian will live a hard life without relying on her, but if she has enough wealth, she can change her destiny.

Guo Shao stood up and planned to write on two types of papers.

One of them is yellow paper, and there is no need to mention the last name, Jing Niang will understand.

At this moment, this danger is worth taking and is very likely to become the last words.
