In fact, there is no beautiful scenery outside Taiyuan City. Instead, it has been dyed into red soil by blood. The sky was also gray and depressing.
Gu Lian had never been to Taiyuan City in peacetime. I don't know if it was like this in the first place, or if it became like this due to the influence of the war.
I still remember that when the Wolf Fang Army attacked, they guarded the lonely city at night. They came from the direction of Cangyun and launched an overwhelming attack on the outer city of Taiyuan, the first fortress. The remaining Cangyun Army retreated to Taiyuan, and Changgemen organized disciples from thousands of miles to come to Taiyuan to support Cangyun.
The layout of Taiyuan City is different from the general city. It is not that the outer city surrounds the inner city. The outer city is relatively small. In front, there is a big river in the middle, and bridges are erected on it to connect the inner city. The inner city is at least several times larger than the outer city.
Now that the wolf tooth army is attacking from the hinterland, the inner city is the first to bear the brunt. Naturally, the inner city did not take into account the outer city, and it was a little difficult to resist.
The side city gates should not be used as the city gates of the main battlefield. Although the walls here are damaged, although they are repaired in time, they can only be repaired in a short period of time. Not to mention that it is too far to be attacked by the enemy, outside the outer city is Yanmen Pass, which is next to the pass. Fortunately, at this time a military heavy city, the city wall was placed there, and it was not so easy to fight.
When the Langya Army attacked, the biggest resistance was Yanmen Pass, Taiyuan City, and Tiance Mansion. Other places were invincible, and many cities simply opened their doors and surrendered. Outsiders only knew that the Langya Army had invaded Tiance Mansion on the 28th, but they didn't know that the previous 28th day was blocked by the first two checkpoints for most of the time except for the journey.
It seems very short, but in fact it is not easy. After all, the disadvantage in numbers is too great, especially when the bloody battle is taking place, the Tiance Palace really doesn't have many disciples.
Gu Lian stood on the tower and looked into the distance, only to see that the endless wheat fields outside Taiyuan City in the past were covered by the dense wolf-toothed army. People outside the city were displaced and did not know where to go to escape the chaos. After so many years of war, many places have no production at all, and most of the refugees died of starvation and illness. Even if the war subsided, there would be a famine.
General Qin sighed: "We must end the war."
Delay for another year, and more people will die. If the wolf tooth army can be wiped out or driven out of the border this year, then the common people may be able to start farming and weaving again next year. With new food, they won't be sitting on empty mountains, not to mention they are probably already empty mountains now.
"Miss Gu, can you grasp it?" Zhu Jianqiu frowned slightly.
Gu Lian nodded: "If you are not sure, you must be sure. Don't worry, poisoning is my job, and nothing will go wrong."
"you alone... ... "
"One person is enough." Too many people are more likely to be exposed, and they will startle the snakes.
Zhu Jianqiu pondered for a while: "Alright."
The strategist is generally not separated from the commander of Tiance. Now the commander is close to the Emperor Xuanzong for protection, but he has come to support Taiyuan. It can be seen that he attaches great importance to the battlefield here. Although some people who are afraid of death have been clamoring for Taiyuan to give up resistance and let the Langya Army go out, so that the war can be ended early, but General Qin and Zhu Jianqiu still refused under pressure.
You can't let the tiger go back to the mountain, otherwise it will make a comeback and experience another war.
"Then I'll go, you guys be careful." Gu Lian was wearing a gray outfit today, which was very inconspicuous. She nodded to everyone and disappeared on the tower.
The next development went smoothly beyond Gu Lian's imagination. Poisoning and gushing, threats and inducements, there were no problems. Like being blessed by a god, Gu Lian felt that she was lucky.
After a little thought, she knew what was going on, and it was estimated that it was really blessed by "God".
However, this god is the mastermind of this game, Li Tang.
It is estimated that the game is about to release a new expansion film, and the Anshi Rebellion can also end slowly, so Li Tang helped Tang Jun.
The master brain can affect the development of the world, especially the direction of major events. Usually it will delegate power to players and NPCs, but if it intervenes, it is absolutely irreversible.
Li Tang is called Li Tang anyway, and naturally he will not help the Wolf Fang Army win, so the final winner will only be the Li Tang Dynasty. And the next emperor it chooses, eight to nine out of ten is King Jianning.
In the evening, Gu Lian rushed back. All the dark lines have been laid, just waiting for this group of murderers to turn against the tide when the war starts tomorrow.
Gu Lian spent a whole day, of course not only threatened a few people with a little Gu. For some people who are not afraid of death, it is useless to poison them. Either use Gu to control them, or poison them to interfere with their minds. Gu Lian needs to observe it before deciding which method to use.
Fortunately, everything went well, and nothing happened.
On the second day, the Taiyuan defenders took the initiative to choose, attracting the Langya Army to send troops to attack.
Standing on the castle tower and playing and throwing things is very refreshing, hot oil, hot water, stone trunks, anyway, can't make people scald, and they can also smash. There is a big river next to Taiyuan, and it is convenient to get water.
There are also feather arrows shooting down on the city, and the ladder and the like have no effect. It is almost a pile of life again to see who can consume it.
The Langya Army is still calm, the only pity they have is that the terrain here is not too flat, it is all terraced fields, and the siege chariots can't drive.
Until the wolf tooth army became impatient, and finally sacrificed the murderers and let them take action.
This group of people does not know martial arts and only understand brute force like ordinary wolf-toothed troops, they will be light. If you can dodge the salvos quickly, once you enter Taiyuan City, it will be bad.
Gu Lian sat on the top of the tower, waiting for them.
This group of people just flew up to the sky, and they saw Gu Lian on the top of the building.
I saw Gu Lian smiled slightly, hooked his fingers, and all the sub-gu attacked all at once. Gu Lian spilled another pile of medicinal powder, which induced toxins in the rest of the body.
Now, all the murderers are out of control. They fell, and fell into the crowd of the Wolf Fang Army.
Need more to say? Naturally, I don't need it, so I just started killing it.
These poisons will make them indistinguishable between enemy and me, and will kill anyone they see. However, they will not take the initiative to fly elsewhere unless they kill everyone around them.
Gu Lian sat on the top of the building and watched quietly, not worried at all.
If you want to kill everyone around you, the murderers will eventually kill each other. When there is one left, he is no longer enough, and even if he is eyeing Tang Jun, he can easily solve it.
Gu Lian felt boring and yawned, thinking about what to eat for dinner.
At sunset, the murderers were all dead, but they also dealt a huge blow to the Wolf Fang Army. Not to mention the number of ordinary wolf-toothed troops that died, the most unlucky thing was that a group of masters who had been suppressed in the past also died. Compared with a group of masters in Tang Jun, Langya Jun felt that his chances of winning were getting smaller and smaller.
What's the point of struggling to the death
Gu Lian returned to his house and found that a little white pigeon had been waiting for a long time. She smiled, silently dove's head, and took the note from its leg.
It turned out to be left to her by Qiao Mingyu. It is estimated that Qiao Mingyu did not find out where Gu Lian was all day, but she had time to go back to the house, so she had to write a note for the pigeon to bring back, and she would be able to see when Gu Lian came back. .
Nothing was written on the note, it just explained some strategic plans of General Qin and Zhu Jianqiu. It used Tianxichao's code words, which other people would definitely not understand.
Gu Lian burned it after reading it. Qiao Mingyu probably won't be back for a while. She went to have dinner and rested herself, and didn't wait for her deliberately.
In bed, but can't sleep.
Gu Lian tossed and turned, and after thinking about it, he got up and put on his clothes and went to Qiao Mingyu.
It was late at night and the fighting stopped for a while, but the generals could not sleep. They gathered in the hall in the center of the city to discuss the next battle plan.
Gu Lian's arrival did not attract everyone's attention. They glanced at the person who came and then turned back to discuss, not caring about this uninvited guest.
"How's the discussion going?" Gu Lian pulled Qiao Mingyu to the corner and asked in a low voice.
Qiao Mingyu touched her face distressedly, always feeling that Gu Lian hadn't slept well during this time, and her face was much ugly. In fact, Gu Lian slept really well. She had long been used to the An-Shi Rebellion and became a strong woman who could sit back and relax even in a precarious small camp.
Taiyuan is much safer than the small town she guarded at the beginning. She has no reason to sleep well.
"General Qin is ready to pursue the victory."
Gu Lian suddenly asked, "Has he contacted General Cao?"
Qin Yiyan is not a sloppy boy, so it is impossible for him to rashly decide to take the initiative because of a little advantage. Since he dared to make such a decision, he was sure to win, or to have friendly troops.
Where are the allies? Naturally it is Tiance Mansion.
The Wolf Fang Army has shrunk the front line these days. It is no longer spread out in this large area, but concentrated outside Taiyuan City.
They put the frontal battlefield here, don't blame Cao Xueyang leading the army to kick their ass in the rear.
Gu Lian suddenly looked forward to the battle between the two sides tomorrow.
Having fought alone for a long time, it is not easy to have reinforcements. You must know that everyone on the various fronts of the Anshi Rebellion was basically overwhelmed, let alone supporting other cities, it would be good to be able to defend their own. Generally, there are only a few leaders of the heroic and wicked who lead a few teams to run around to support, but they are supporting important city fortresses, and they only choose the precarious past to help.
"Do you still need to keep it here?" Gu Lian asked.
Qiao Mingyu suddenly understood: "That's not necessary, let's go back to rest."
If she doesn't leave, Gu Lian will definitely accompany her. She's just a teenager anyway, and staying here won't help much, so it's better to go to rest early.
