Chapter 964: Thousands of lives and deaths

Chapter 964 Thousands of Life and Death
Those who consciously do not encounter him are arrogant.
The reason why Yan Zeng left East Xinjiang to go to the army of the imperial court to conquer the west was to let those who looked down on him from Yan's family to see what he had returned to his hometown. Although his father was a prostitute, he was also a protagonist, but his position in the family was far from comparable to that of Yan Li. Yan Li's father is the eldest son of Yan, and Yan Li is also the eldest son. This has an unshakable position in the family.
Yan Li joined the Mu House immediately and was promoted to General soon. And he, even if he entered Mufu, he won at most a military captain's post, and he didn't know what year and month he wanted to be promoted to a rank of five. Watching Yan Li get so much, Yan Zeng didn't have a moment of peace in his heart.
On the day he left Dongjiang, Yan Zeng told himself that he would never return if he hadn't succeeded. The achievement in his mind is to climb higher than the highest position in the family. Someone in the Yan family had been a grandfather when the country was founded, but unfortunately it was not hereditary.
Because of such a goal, Yan Zeng never thought of going back to Dongjiang during such a difficult time, even if he knew he might die. When the Northwest was defeated, he really knew that he might fall asleep and close his eyes and never open it, because no one knew whether Meng Yuan's cavalry would appear when he fell asleep.
That was an experience that he would never forget. He fled all the way from the vast grassland, dared not walk in the daytime, and did not dare to appear in any place where someone was. But the moment he saw Wolf Rushan, he almost jumped up in excitement, and he believed that not everyone could understand it.
There is always a word circulating among the Central Plains people, saying that there will be blessings if you do not die.
Yan Zeng did not die in that fierce battle. He thought it was a test of heaven to himself.
Then, he waited for the imperial conspiracy of the Emperor Da Sui. The ambition that the big husband would have something to do was returned to his heart. At that moment, he understood what it meant to be reborn. He firmly believes that after so many years, he has become more mature and will never experience another defeat in the Northwest.
Unfortunately, he waited for Gao Kaitai's rebellion.
"Yan Li ... now you have been sealed?"
Thinking of his own calendar, which is stronger than himself, and thinking that at this moment his cousin was enjoying the awe and admiration of others in the barracks, Yan Zeng felt a little blocked.
"When you were in Mufu, you always said you would help me, always said that you wouldn't let me bury, always said that you wouldn't let the Yan family's people not lift their heads, but Yan Li ... It's you who keeps me from raising my head. From childhood to age, your life is very different from mine. The only thing that is the same is that your parents and my parents love their sons so much. Both your parents and my parents So I hope my son will have great success. "
"It's a pity that it's the only thing that makes you and me more and more different. You have a father who can give you the most help, and even if my father does his best, he can't do what your father can do. One. The start is different, why is it the same? "
Yan Zeng leaned against the window and said to himself.
"Actually, I always admired you when I was young, because I always thought you were more responsible than me. When we were young, we went out to steal the plums of other people. We were afraid that people would recognize them and change the clothes of the children. It was you who were caught Stay and let me go back to get the money to redeem, but I dare not tell Aye Niang to hide in the corner and cry, but I was only told when I was forced to ask. "
Yan Zeng sighed slightly: "Then my grandfather asked me why I took you out to do what I did, and you stepped out and stood in front of me and said you took me with you, and your idea came from you. You I always wanted to protect me, but it ’s a pity that no matter how you take responsibility, it ’s me and not you who are punished. At that time, I was almost interrupted by my leg. My father was the one who beat me when I came home. My father, I suddenly understood when I was so young, my father's tears must be bitter, although I haven't tasted it. "
"Sometimes I think about it, my experience is a lot better than those of the children who were born out. They live in the house all day long and see the housekeeper flattering and flattering just to get each month smoothly. It ’s money. But if you do n’t compare people, it ’s like rotten wood.

"I can do it!"
Yan Zeng, who was talking to himself, suddenly stood up and patted the table heavily: "I won't lose, I will stick to the choice I make. I will be glorified to go back to Dongjiang and let it be in Mufu Dog, see how I am a man! "
He looked back at the iron armor hanging on one side, his eyes gradually narrowing.
"Come here!"
He shouted outside: "Uptown!"
...
...
Standing on the city wall, you can clearly see the team coming across the moat. The dark black clouds are like the heavy dark clouds on the sky falling to the ground, but the sense of oppression is not only reduced by one point, but it is getting heavier. Soldiers in black leather lined up neatly lined with fiery red battle flags flying above their heads.
The garrison on the wall of Liyin looked at each other involuntarily, and he saw fear in the eyes of his companions. To be honest, all of them have been fortunate that they were left to defend Liyin instead of attacking Chang'an City with the brigade. They now knew how many bodies were lying under Chang'an City.
"I heard that the Black Flag has not lost one time?"
Someone asked dryly in his throat.
The same robe voice around him also had some hot pains: "I heard that the Black Flag's commander, Fang Xie, is really amazing. From the beginning, he has never lost a battle in the north and south. Even if it was faced with the famous Luo Yao, in the face of Meng Yuan's Iron Riding, has never lost once to the barbarians in southern Xinjiang. Moreover, I heard that he never stays alive with the enemy ... as long as he dares to resist, he will be clean. "
"Is that all a rumor?"
A soldier not far away said in a low voice: "Jiangnan has just defeated the court men and soldiers. Didn't all the soldiers be killed?"
"All they want is food. If we surrender, nothing will happen, right?"
Certain words are used in the speaker's words, but where is the certainty in the tone?
"Anyway, this battle is not easy to fight. You all know that, now that we are a lone city of Liyin. We have been attacked by the Black Banner all around, but we are surrounded by Liyin. Stay. Without reinforcements, we can only resist. But the harder we resist, the more the black flag army will be killed when the city breaks, right? "
"No!"
Another said, "We have grain and grass, and 20,000 horses. In addition, we know that General Yan's ability to lead the army is well known, and it is no problem to stick to it. As for what to say The surrounding cities were breached, and ten of them were rumors spread by the Black Flag. "
The soldiers talked a lot and said everything.
Yan Zeng ascended the city wall and frowned as he watched the array of Black Banners outside. He lifted his eyes and looked at it, and had to admit that the training of the Black Flag Army was absolutely above his soldiers and horses. As a team, you can see the combat effectiveness by looking at the marching array.
"There are a lot of siege equipment."
The general under his hand said in a heavy voice: "Look at the generals, many of the auxiliary soldiers are carrying heavy loads. If nothing else, the Black Flag is planning to fill the moat. Our moat is far away. The river is too smooth ... whether it is to build a pontoon or to pave the river, it is not too difficult. Now it depends on whether our archers can suppress the enemy. "
"Ok"
Yan Zeng nodded: "The enemy has only one direction to attack, so it is not difficult to suppress the enemy when defending. It is not easy to concentrate all the crossbow cars over. The enemy wants to cross the river."
"The enemy did not bring a rock thrower."
Another general said a little after a thousand miles of eyes said in amazement: "Large stone throwing vehicle can throw stones to the city wall 500 steps away, there is no need to cross the river. As long as the enemy builds a pontoon or fills the river, use a stone throwing vehicle Suppress the archers on our walls, the enemy's casualties will not be great. "
Yan Zeng frowned, raised a thousand miles and glanced to see that there were no stone throwers in the Black Flag Army.
"this is a good news."
The general who spoke before smiled and said, "The enemy must be unfamiliar with the terrain of our Liyin, so he did not bring a stone thrower. The siege of that thing is sharp enough, but the transportation is too difficult."
"It's not urgent to say these things now, there is something more urgent."
Yan Zeng ’s pro-weapon captain Niu Ben said solemnly: "Before his subordinates walked among the soldiers, many people were discussing that our Liyin is already a lonely city, although there is nothing too much, It's heartbreaking. If you don't want to get the soldiers down, you will lose it before the soldiers get angry. "
Yan Zeng nodded and looked back at the soldier who was not far away.
"Call him over, and I asked him how the Black Flag attacked the city."
The relatives hurriedly called over the reported soldier from Ming'an. The man still had a bad face before he had rested. Yan Zeng asked the Black Flag's offensive method carefully. The soldier knew that it was related to the survival of Liyin City, so the narrative was also very detailed.
"thank you."
After listening, Yan Zeng solemnly thanked him, "Although I can't send soldiers to support Ming'an, I admire you and your robes for fighting. I and my soldiers, like you, would rather fight to the wall. You wo n’t surrender to the enemy. But you ca n’t go back now. If nothing unexpected happens, your home has been broken by the enemy. The only thing you can do now is to do whatever you can to avenge your friends and relatives in the same robe, and do your best ... …Maximum effort."
The soldier who reported the letter sighed, "What can I do now?"
"can"
Yan Zeng looked at him seriously and said, "My soldiers keep Li Yin dead. The longer they stay, the more enemies they kill, which is equivalent to revenge for your robes. But now because you bring The bad news is that the soldiers under my command are heartbroken. Where can I fight? "
The soldier's face changed with guilt.
"Great general ~ EbookFREE.me ~ humble job ... wrong."
"It's okay, you did something wrong but you can make up for it, and restore the morale of my men to you."
"what?"
The soldier who reported the letter didn't understand. As soon as he asked a question, he saw Yan Zengquan give a gift to him: "I would like to thank you again, thank you for restoring morale for my soldiers."
After saying this, Yan Zeng waved his hand: "He took this man off, took his jaw, and beheaded him at the school yard! This man was a spy sent by the Heiqi Army, spreading rumors, in order to make my defender Li Yin lose his fighting spirit . "
The reported soldier's face changed so much that before being able to shout anything, Yan Zeng's pro-military school captain Niu Ben held down his jaw, then several pro-arms rushed up, tied him away, and shouted while walking Niu Ben This person was a spy on the Black Flag, spreading rumors and the like.
Yan Zeng looked at the back of those people and shook his head: "If it is not about the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people, how dare I do such a hurtful thing."
