Chapter 196 Siege
Snow stopped.
That night, 50,000 Taoyuan troops attacked Funing City at night, and another 30,000 were ready to go and provide support early the next morning.
Qi Yanniang was riding on a horse, and beside her was Wang Bing'er holding a spear.
The two looked at each other and saw what the other was thinking.
They must take Funing City tonight.
Although Pan Yingying gave a deadline of one day and one night, they wanted it to be as quick as possible.
The Wu'an Army won a series of great victories, so the Taoyuan Army naturally wanted to win more beautifully.
Funing City.
In the backyard of a steamed bun shop near the city gate.
Fu Yi was helping his brother Fu Qing dig a pit. Beside him lay a Tartar wearing a fur coat. At this time, the Tartar was already dead.
Fu Yi was trembling all over, but he was still digging the soil with all his might.
In the evening, she delivered food to her brother who worked in the blacksmith shop, and then waited for her brother to go home together. Unexpectedly, the brother and sister were followed by a drunk Tatar soldier on the road. The man followed them home and tried to do something bad to her. She and her brother were almost determined to die together, and finally killed him.
Both of them are of mixed Tatar and Daewoo descent. Their father’s family was originally from Xiping County, but he was sent to Funing City to work as a restaurant owner.
After Funing City was divided into Tatars, their father was redeemed by his family, and they, their brothers and sisters, and their mother were left behind.
My mother used the money that my father secretly left behind to buy this small courtyard and opened a steamed bun shop.
Fu Qing searched the corpse for a long time but only found a small piece of silver.
He spat and pushed the body forcefully into the pit.
The cold wind kept blowing, cutting people's faces like a knife, but the brother and sister were both sweating from exhaustion.
After burying the body, the two men went into the house.
"Fu'ning City is becoming more and more chaotic..." Fu Qing poured a bowl of hot water and handed it to his sister with a serious expression.
In the past, Funing City was not in the situation it is today.
Fu Yi took a sip of hot water, and his dry throat was finally able to make a sound.
"Dayu and Wang Ting are at war, and neither side can take care of the six cities, so things will naturally get more and more chaotic."
She had been going out to the streets to gather information during this period, and was wondering why Dayu didn't attack the six cities first.
Fu Qing sighed. He had a lot of strength but his brain was not as good as his sister's. He decided not to think about it anymore and was about to ask his sister to go and rest, but suddenly there was a noise outside.
He made a gesture to Fu Yi, took the Tatar soldier's scimitar, tiptoed to the shop in front, and looked out through the crack in the door.
Many Tatar soldiers with weapons appeared on the street and were running towards the city gate.
He understood what these Tatar soldiers were shouting.
It's because I understood it that I feel a little breathless.
"The Dayu people are attacking the city!"
"Dayu people are attacking!"
Fu Qing turned his head and looked at Fu Yi who was standing not far behind him.
Fu Yi burst into tears.
The war launched by the Tatars shattered her once happy family.
My father was forced to return to Pingnan County. My mother was depressed and eventually couldn't make it. She passed away in the winter three years ago.
"Brother." Fu Yi looked at Fu Qing steadily, "Let's go save Grandpa Zhong!"
The Grandpa Zhong she was talking about was once a wealthy man in Funing City. After the Tatars invaded, all their property was taken away and everyone in the family was made into slaves.
The Zhong family has lived in Funing City for generations, and no relatives or friends have come to redeem them, so they are still locked in the sheepfold. Fu Qing doesn't know why his sister decided to save the Zhong family at this time, but his sister is smarter than him. Before his mother passed away, she told him to listen to her sister.
He nodded, "You stay home and hide."
Fu Yi thought about it, turned around and went to the side to get the kitchen knife for chopping stuffing, "I have to go to Lai Fu Inn."
Fu Qing knew why he was going to Lai Fu Inn, and he went to the backyard and put the only hatchet on his waist, "I'll take you there."
Fu Yi did not refuse, because Lai Fu Inn and the sheepfold where the slaves were held were on the same road, so it was convenient for them to go there.
The brother and sister tiptoed out the back door without even taking a lantern, and walked forward on the thin snow.
The two of them deliberately went around to a place not far from the city gate to take a look, and confirmed that it was Dayu who came to attack the city, then they quickened their pace to the back door of Lai Fu Inn.
Fu Qing went forward and knocked on the door, blocking Fu Yi behind him.
The door opened quickly. It was opened by the waiter of the inn. Through the crack of the door, Fu Qing saw the owner's family, the chef and his wife, and some people living in the back alley of the inn.
"The kid from the Fu family is here!" The shopkeeper saw Fu Qing outside the door and waved to him.
Fu Qing grinned, stepped aside, revealing Fu Yi behind him.
The brother and sister were invited into the courtyard, and Fu Yi got straight to the point, "We need to go find Grandpa Zhong. They have a lot of people over there, so we have a better chance of opening the city gate."
Shopkeeper Gu looked at his three children and slapped the table, "Done!"
They have waited so long to get to this day, isn't it just one life? If this life can be used to make the next generation stand up straight and live a decent life, so what if they lose their lives? At most, they can be heroes again in forty years!
Fu Yi weighed the kitchen knife in his hand and said to the people who were going to the sheepfold: "My brother and I killed a Tartar soldier today. They don't have three heads and six arms, but they will bleed and die just the same..."
Shopkeeper Gu raised his hand to interrupt her, "Fu girl, we understand."
He looked at his wife and children, showing a different smile than usual, full of vigor and vitality, "Once I leave this time, you will be the family of the great hero!"
His wife's eyes were moist and she waved at him, "Go! It's already so late!"
After Shopkeeper Gu and his party left from the back door with sticks and axes, Madam Gu whispered softly, "You must come back safely."
……
……
Su Dayong pushed the tiger cart, waiting for the moment when the gate of Funing City opened.
These slaves who came out of the sheepfold finally came back with full of hatred.
No one knew how long they had been thinking about this day. They practiced hard every day and dreamed of killing the Tartars.
Fortunately, God helps those who work hard, and the city lord finally agreed to send them to attack Funing City.
Feeling a burning sensation on his face, Su Dayong raised his hand to wipe it and found a water stain. It turned out to be tears that had flowed out of his eyes at some point in time.
Wang Bing'er was riding on a horse and could clearly see the Tatars standing on the city wall through her night vision goggles.
Several archery experts stood side by side with her, each wearing night vision goggles.
Their main task now is to protect the Dragon Hidden Guards on the ladder.
With the sound of "swooshing" breaking through the air, the Tatar who was slashing with a long knife on the city wall was hit by an arrow and fell down.
The Longyin Guards were highly skilled in martial arts, so naturally the task of taking the lead fell on them.
However, to climb up this several-meter-high city wall, you still need the cooperation of the people below.
Qi Yan looked at the well-trained Tatars on the city wall, and an ominous premonition slowly rose in his heart.
Isn't it said that Funing City is a mess? But these are clearly elite soldiers and generals, what went wrong?
Thank you Jiubao for the reward.
Thank you also to those who voted for me.
Love you guys.
