The Xizhou Governor's Mansion was already in a mess. At this time, an incense hall in the backyard was surrounded by incense mist. In the incense hall, a huge and ferocious statue of ghosts and gods stood with their teeth and claws raised to the sky, glaring angrily in front of them. Tian Siyang's delicate and frail back He was kneeling before offering sacrifices to the fragrant eucalyptus. There were livestock and wild fruit offerings on the eucalyptus, and a tablet stood prominently in the middle.
"The former Xizhou Shangzhu Guotian Si Dao..." Walking quietly into this familiar place, Peng Shiyu stared at the name on the tablet with cold eyes through the hazy air here, and his nostrils began to flaring involuntarily, His chest seemed ready to explode.
Tian Siyang, who was kneeling down devoutly, stopped muttering in his mouth, and then slowly placed the jade string in his hand on the fragrant eucalyptus. She stood up gracefully, turned around slowly, and faced her with a calm and pale face. Peng Shiyu was covered in blood.
"I have met the uncle." Tian Siyang bowed and saluted calmly.
Peng Shiyu's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he breathed heavily. Staring at this beautiful and innocent face, he seemed to have returned to the passionate love between a man and a concubine, and he was a little confused.
"Uncle, you are covered in blood, why don't you let me help you change your clothes!"
Tian Siyang smiled with relief, whispered, stretched out her slender hand, took down a plain robe from the sandalwood rack on the side of the incense hall, walked slowly to Peng Shiyu, and patiently He untied the bright red robe and put on a clean robe for him with great care. Finally, he gently opened his mouth and gently blew some dust off Peng Shiyu's breastplate.
Feeling Tian Siyang's long-lost fragrance, Peng Shiyu's eyes became hot uncontrollably, his face sank and he swallowed, but he didn't make any resistance, he just quietly let her control, staring closely at this picture. The face that made him think about it day and night but hate it deeply.
"Uncle, okay!" Tian Siyang stepped back slightly, bowed and whispered: "Uncle, if you want to kill me, just do it! I know that I can't help you, and I am willing to die to atone for my sins... ..”
One sentence immediately brought Peng Shiyu back to reality, and he took a deep breath and said: "Siyang, are you really having an affair with Na Tian Sidao? Is Yuntao my flesh and blood? If you say otherwise, I am still willing to believe you. .”
Tian Siyang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then smiled sadly and sighed softly: "Uncle, it turns out that I am such a person in your heart..."
Peng Shiyu obviously didn't think much about it. His eyes were almost bleeding. He swallowed hard and said in a deep voice: "Have you ever loved me..."
Tian Siyang tilted her head and thought for a while, then shook her head slightly and said, "I have never loved you, not even a little bit."
Peng Shiyu's face instantly turned into a look of defeat, a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he sighed and said: "Hahaha! It's really so! I'm so stupid that I asked such a question! It's true that you don't have even the slightest bit of love for me. How can love do such shameless things!"
"Uncle, I'm sorry." Tian Siyang said quietly.
"No need to say any more! Siyang, I must kill you. You and the Tian family behind you have brought great shame and disaster to my Peng family. I, Peng Shiyu, will never forget it in my life! Remember, the only thing I love most in my life is You are the only one! The one I hate the most is also you!"
...
The vigorous Battle of Xizhou finally came to an end, and in just half a day, the city, known as the strongest fortress in the land of Dongxi, had been destroyed.
In this battle, the 12,000 barbarians who defended the city were all killed except for more than a thousand Gong's tribesmen who surrendered. Wuping's army suffered more than 3,000 casualties, most of them died on the way to the siege. All in all, the battle losses made all Wuping generals very satisfied, and it also greatly exceeded Li Yuan's estimate before the war.
Although in Li Yuan's view, it is inevitable to attack a city defended by mountain barbarians with the main force of more than 30,000 Wuping troops, equipped with well-equipped armor and weapons, and supplemented by sufficient supplies, but today, these new trebuchets The quick victory brought about was obviously quite amazing.
Regardless of the suppressive power of large-scale weapons, the combat status displayed by Wuping's army in this battle ranged from infantry and cavalry coordination, forming formations to suppress, charging to build bridges, and roundabout siege, especially the running-in between Langzhou veterans and newly recruited soldiers. It's remarkable, it's so calm and unhurried. Today is the first time that Li Yuan has officially commanded Wuping's army to launch a siege. It has basically achieved the results he hoped for after changing the army configuration, and it also increased the confidence of the whole army in the future war.
When he decided to let Chai Kewu be the commander of the siege, Li Yuan made it clear that he wanted to give this beloved general a big credit. It was not blatant favoritism, but Li Yuan wanted to secretly observe the reaction of the generals through this decision, because everyone in the army knew before that Liu Jiangsheng and Luo Erhu among the Wuping generals, as sworn brothers of the commander, must have certain rights. some privileges.
With today's move, Li Yuan deliberately broke through the suspicions and concerns of the soldiers, and at the same time used experience to select trusted generals who were both completely loyal and capable of entrusting them with important tasks. Chai Kewu's performance obviously did not disappoint Li Yuan.
Chai Kewu had previously accumulated experience in the battle of Chenzhou. After receiving the order today, he certainly understood that the commander-in-chief was specifically giving credit to himself. However, he did not become radical because of this. Instead, he carried out all Li Yuan's orders meticulously and calmly. The pre-war arrangements, from pre-war suppression to launching the siege, were accomplished in one go without any sloppiness. Although he is young, he has already shown the potential to be a famous general on par with his elder brother.
It was already dusk when the battlefield was cleaned, and Xizhou City was almost in ruins. The fire was still not extinguished, so Li Yuan ordered the entire army to postpone entering the city and instead camp in the camp outside the city to rest for the night.
Dusk fell, and the mountains and fields were silent. It spread from outside the city to the entire Xizhou City. The battlefield was like a purgatory on earth. Although the corpses scattered everywhere had been gathered and burned, blood and body parts could still be seen everywhere, scattered everywhere. The disgusting stench of corpses.
The sun has gone down, but the large group of vultures in the sky are still hovering reluctantly, waiting for the opportunity to descend and swoop towards the broken limbs and pieces of meat in the city. As they fight for it, they emit shrill and strange cries, like the frightening sounds emanating from the abyss of hell. The sound of visceral wailing, accompanied by the cold night wind, made people feel chills on their spines.
Until early in the morning, the fire in Xizhou City gradually extinguished. Li Yuan immediately ordered the entire army to march into the city. Walking on the streets of Xizhou City, the ground was still a little hot against the soles of his shoes, and there were cracked stones and fly ash everywhere. Although it is a city that has been reduced to ashes, the city walls are still there after all, and the defensive measures only need to be repaired to be considered complete, so it is naturally much safer than camping outside. After the army entered the city, they simply cleared the main roads to ensure the passage of soldiers and horses, and also cleared several open spaces in front of the city gates, which could be used as campsites.
