Chapter 261 The Fall of Xiwu! 【Ask for Monthly Ticket】

"There is still a mutiny in Xiwu!"

Unexpectedly, the plot in the original work would actually be played out again. Fan Chou and Dong Zhuo's relatives were all killed by the desperate Xiliang army, and Xiwu, which was said to be impregnable, was breached from the inside.

But I’d better not watch the video, it must be very bloody... Li Yugang was about to refuse, but unexpectedly Professor Zhou came over:

"Can you show me the video?"

Lu Bu looked at Li Yu who was hesitant to speak, and then looked at the gentle master's wife, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart:

"It is said that couples complement each other, but Li Xiandi and his wife seem to complement each other in the wrong place."

He took out the action camera in his arms and placed it on the desk:

"All the process of attacking Xiwu is here. I went to the kitchen to find some food."

After saying that, Lu Bu quickly left this place of right and wrong. No matter whether Li Yu was scared to cry later or whether the master's wife thought he was cowardly and cowardly, it has nothing to do with our old Lu.

Well, after staying with Jia Xu for a long time, Marquis Lu Wen, who used to be reckless, has learned to avoid conflicts.

After he left the study, Li Yu looked at Zhou Ruotong with his action camera:

"Do you really want to see it?"

"Yes, I have never seen an ancient siege battle... Take out the card reader and plug it into the computer. If you are afraid, you can go out first."

Li Yu originally planned to leave, but Professor Zhou's words made him a little embarrassed:

"Forget it, I'll watch it with you."

"Aren't you scared anymore?"

"I'm afraid, but no matter how afraid I am, I have to be with Baby Tong and cannot be separated!"

Silly, just don't be scared to tears... Professor Zhou smiled sweetly and sat in front of the computer, waiting to watch the video.

Li Yu busily inserted the memory card into the computer, clicked on the video files, sorted them and started watching them from the beginning.

This is Wei Xu’s second time as a war correspondent, and he has more experience than the first time. At the beginning of the video, there is a picture of him taking a selfie with a sports camera:

"Hello everyone, I am Wei Xu, the number one young commander in Bingzhou. Today I am attacking Yiwu with Cao Xing, the number one young commander in Bingzhou, and Huangfu, the old general..."

As he spoke, he held up his action camera and took a picture of Cao Xing and a burly old general with gray hair.

Cao Xing was obviously not satisfied with his title, so he kicked Wei Xu:

"You are a handsome boy, and I am a silly boy. I am not afraid of people laughing at me when I say this. Ask everyone, it is obvious which one of us is handsome and which one is stupid. The general said, war reporters need to be fair and objective, don't always think about giving face to yourself. Top it off with gold.”

When the pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes were bickering, Huangfusong next to him stared at the camera and asked curiously:

"The video of Lao Shizi's dance that you two watched yesterday was filmed by this thing?"

Wei Xu quickly waved his hand and said:

"No, no, that's a professional camera...The war is about to begin, old general, why are you only thinking about the hot dance? Come on, come on, keep going."

Damn it, what kind of videos does Lu Bu cache for them? Don't put Huangfu Song in trouble.

After the three of them finished chatting, Wei Xu stuck the action camera on his chest and pointed the lens at a small city about a mile away.

Compared with ordinary cities, the walls of this small city are relatively high, but the area is not large. It is obviously different from the big cities that stretch for ten or twenty kilometers.

Wei Xu, possessing the spirit of drama, continued to explain:

"The so-called Xiwu is a fortress built by the old thief Dong Zhuo in Xi County. It contains gold, silver, treasures and various grains plundered from Luoyang. It is also defended by tens of thousands of soldiers, all of whom are elite soldiers of the Xiliang Army. , the guard is still Fan Chou, whom Dong Zhuo relies on most...General Huangfu, how long do you think it will take to capture Yiwu?"

Huangfusong awkwardly put the telescope in front of his eyes, observed it carefully, and then said:

"The city wall is tall, there is plenty of food and grass, and there are many gold, silver and jewelry to boost morale. If there is no mutiny, it will take more than a month to have any hope of breaking through."

After finishing his analysis, he looked at the telescope in his hand:

"The distance is so far, but you can clearly see the faces of everyone on the city wall. This thing is really a weapon of war. Please thank General Fengxian on your behalf when you go back. With this thing, it will be even more powerful!"

When Cao Xing heard that it would take a month to achieve results, he smiled and said:

"Your Majesty is still waiting for the good news. It won't take such a long time. General Huangfu, why don't we let the Bingzhou Army try it first?"

Huangfusong's expression was a little hesitant:

"Aren't you just one or two thousand people here? When can we capture this fort?"

If these two young men had not brought the peerless sword and telescope given by His Majesty, the old man would have really wanted to persuade them that young people should not be too ambitious and talk big on the battlefield. If they are not careful, they will pay the price in blood.

Cao Xing said:

"If it doesn't work in one day, we will attack at your pace. We brothers will never say anything."

Wei Xu added angrily:

"Isn't one day too long? I guess half a day at most will be enough... General Huangfu, just ask the soldiers to surround the dock, and we will do the rest."

After hearing this in such a short time, Huangfusong had already confirmed that these two guys were here for fun.

It's only one day, so don't waste anything, just let them go. I will officially attack tomorrow, which can be regarded as letting General Fengxian's people take the lead.

Soon, the army surrounded the entire Xiwu. At this time, Cao Xing asked the artillery to set up their posture, while Wei Xu asked people to install the tweeters he brought.

This large speaker with a diameter of more than half a meter is installed and connected to an oversized mobile power supply. A solar power panel is placed next to it to transmit power to the mobile power supply.

When everything was ready, Wei Xu took the megaphone and coughed:

"Wai Wai Wai Wai, can the Xiliang Army brothers in Xiwu hear you clearly?"

The loudspeaker sounded a bit loud. Before the enemy could react, Huangfu Song's men panicked. They didn't expect Wei Xu's voice to be so loud.

Huangfusong stroked his beard with great interest and felt that this thing was quite useful. It could be used to shout on the battlefield, persuade surrender, or even gather broken troops, etc., and it could all have very good effects.

But can this thing alone make the tens of thousands of soldiers in Xiwu surrender?

Wei Xu adjusted his voice and then said:

"Brothers, you have probably heard the news, right? Dong Zhuo is dead. The Grand Master Dong who brought you to the road of no return has been personally slaughtered by His Majesty. The scene is so miserable. I guess Fan Chou must have told you that it was false news, and he also said It’s bullshit, I know what shit he’s going to do as soon as he sticks his ass out.”

There was a roar of laughter all around. Although the soldiers on the city wall did not laugh, they began to whisper to each other, obviously excited.

Huangfusong held up the telescope and watched this scene carefully, gaining a deeper understanding of the loudspeaker.

If you can persuade them to surrender with just a sharp tongue, then the first success in this battle must be this young man named Wei Xu.

"Fan Chou, do you plan to take out some of the gold, silver and jewels inside to encourage the soldiers? In fact, if we kill you and the Dong family's relatives, we won't get more... Brothers, don't work for them, the gods are about to descend. Punishment, I hope everyone will not be stubborn and give themselves a chance to correct their evil ways and return to the right path!"

It should be said or not, Wei Xu's eloquence is still good, and his words are very provocative.

He talked eloquently about the hardships of being a top soldier. He was short of food and clothing and no one cared about it, but the credit was always taken away by related households. Everyone suffered a lifetime, but in the end it was all in vain.

"Brothers, if you are willing to turn back, a big house, new clothes, and hot meals are waiting for you. If you don't believe it, divine punishment is about to come. Just wait and see..."

At this point, Wei Xu turned his face and asked Cao Xing in a low voice:

"I've been talking for a long time, but I still haven't got the aim right? What about the Galaxy Archer? I think you are only worthy of being an archer."

Cao Xing patted the cannon next to him:

"I've already taken aim. You're talking very enthusiastically, so you don't want to interrupt...light the fire!"

A soldier from the artillery battalion took an igniter and lit the fuse of the artillery. Soon, there was a loud noise from the barrel, and a shell flew straight out and landed in the dock, making a huge explosion.

When Cao Xing saw the direction of the cannonball, he slapped his thigh:

"Damn, I missed the target. I aimed at the tower, but ended up hitting the city. I hope it doesn't set the food on fire."

After the first shot, the other artillery pieces also fired one after another. After a salvo, Wei Xu picked up the megaphone again:

"Brothers, God is punishing you! What are you still hesitating about? Kill Fan Chou quickly and grab the credit!"

His words were like a signal, and the soldiers on the city wall turned against each other and became chaotic. Soon, there was a huge noise in the city, shouting and killing.

Wei Xuchong snapped his fingers at the soldiers of the artillery camp:

"Prepare the hot pot. After you finish the hot pot, go in and clean up the mess."

There is chaos inside at the moment, so you can't get close, lest the Xiliang troops who are fighting among themselves unite again, and then you have to let them bite each other.

Once the winner has been decided, and the murderous thoughts in his heart have been vented, he can go in to clean up the mess at that time, and he can accomplish more with one stone.

Huangfusong raised his telescope and stared blankly at the chaos on the city wall. After learning the art of war for a lifetime, he realized for the first time that a battle could be fought like this.

It was originally planned to break the city in two months, so that Chang'an could take credit and even polish it, calling it a great victory in Xiwu. Unexpectedly, within an hour, the soldiers who were waiting in Xiwu began to fight among themselves.

Is this the dimensionality reduction attack the two of them talked about during dinner last night?

Compared with these shocking methods, conventional siege methods are indeed crude and wasteful.

It's fine if it's just a waste of time, but every time you organize your troops, you have to promise a lot of rewards. If you can't attack for a long time, the promised things will never be fulfilled. When the city is broken, you can only let the soldiers burn, kill, loot, and even massacre the city. tragedy.

Now, with loudspeakers and artillery, you can capture a city at your fingertips, which is like a dream.

Soon, a hot pot was prepared in the military tent next to it. It used a charcoal-burning copper pot, and the food was freshly killed mutton. It was steaming hot and full of atmosphere.

The video ends here. Li Yu took a sip of water from the table to calm down:

"There should be a bloody scene next. My wife, are you not afraid?"

Zhou Ruotong grabbed his hand and said:

"I'm not afraid. You don't have to be afraid either. Aren't the games you usually play pretty bloody?"

"It's bloody, it's all green, it's not scary at all."

He clicked on the next video. He must have just finished eating hot pot. Huangfu Song was drinking water and Cao Xing was picking his teeth. Someone came in from outside the tent and said:

"Report! The gate of Xiwu is open. The people inside hope that the general can go in and talk."

Cao Xing rinsed his mouth with tea:

"This is obviously an attempt to negotiate terms. General Huangfu, should we go in or do another round of shelling?"

Dare to raise conditions, which means that the artillery fire is not enough, and there should be two more rounds. When the soldiers inside feel that life is a luxury, they will not raise arbitrary conditions.

Huangfusong strode outside:

"No need for shelling, just save some shells. I will go and see for myself what conditions they have."

The group left the tent and led several thousand soldiers into Xiwu.

According to the procedure, first take over the four gates and city defenses, and then go to the city lord's mansion in the middle of the dock.

In this attack on the city, Huangfu Song's army did not waste a single soldier. Everyone had a relaxed expression, which was in huge contrast to the Xiliang army, which was already defeated.

As soon as Wei Xu entered the city on horseback, he found several corpses next to the city gate. Two of them had their heads chopped off, and the other had holes all over his body. There was blood foaming at this time, which made Li Yu frown.

After passing through the city gate, there were gradually more corpses on the ground. Many of them were dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes. They should be Dong Zhuo's family members.

Zhou Ruotong looked at this bloody scene and said:

"In the official history, Dong Zhuo's granddaughter Dong Bai was beheaded in Xiwu, but there is no such character in the original work of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"... In troubled times, human life is really like nothing."

Li Yu was very calm:

"Dong Zhuo has done so many evil things, so he should have expected the fate of his family."

Wei Xu continued to walk forward. He didn't know if he had obsessive-compulsive disorder or something. Every time he saw a corpse, he would take off his action camera and take a close-up before leaving.

She really has the professionalism of a war correspondent.

Finally arriving in front of a palace-like building, a group of soldiers covered in blood gathered here. The ground and walls around them were all covered in blood. It was obvious that a fierce battle had taken place here.

Huangfu Song asked:

"Where is Fan Chou?"

The leader pointed to a puddle of bloody mud on the ground and said:

"They have been executed. Fan Chou's whole family and all Dong Zhuo's relatives have been killed. No one was spared. General, please give me some warm words. If we surrender, will we also be executed?"

Huangfu Song said loudly:

"You are all loyal to the emperor and patriotic, why should we punish you? Several new armies will be formed in Chang'an. You can continue to make contributions and serve the country!"

Building a new army means letting go of the past.

The leading soldiers were very moved when they heard this, and then they put down their weapons and formally surrendered.

While they were talking, Wei Xu got off his horse and came to the pile of rotten meat mixed with blood, water and soil. He took a close-up photo carefully and took out his mobile phone to shoot a few short videos.

"Brother Fa Cai was giving porridge outside the city earlier and was made difficult by Fan Chou. Now that this man is dead, it's time to give Brother Fa Cai an explanation."

When Cao Xing heard this, he quickly took out his mobile phone and took a short video:

"Damn, don't think I don't know. You want him to copy the TV series. I also have to curry favor with Brother Fu, hoping he can teach you some techniques to please girls."

Don't you two know that Sun Facai doesn't want blood?

Li Yu felt that their flattery would be slapped on the horse's hooves this time. Sun Facai would definitely vomit when he saw this pile of rotten meat.

Wandering around the dock, Wei Xu saw mountains of grain, countless pieces of dried meat, and various gold and silver treasures filling several rooms.

Huangfu Song waved his hand:

"Load everything on the truck and send it to Chang'an!"

When Cao Xing heard this, he stopped him and said:

"General Huangfu, if these things are sent to Chang'an, most of them will be damaged. They have already become a set of figures before they even reach your Majesty's hands."

Huangfu Song also knew about corruption, but these grains, gold and silver couldn't keep piling up here, right?

Wei Xu walked to him and whispered:

"General Fengxian means to seal it temporarily until he comes to make a decision."

Huangfu Song was a little unhappy:

"Even if you want to line your own pockets, isn't it too blatant?"

"You are wrong, General Huangfu. My general just wants to use these materials where they should be used... We plan to build a factory outside Chang'an City to specialize in producing the armor and weapons needed by the armies. The general will use secret methods to produce these grains." Ship it over and use it as rations for the laborers.”

Huangfu Song was a little surprised. He didn't expect Lu Bu to be so far-sighted.

After Wei Xu finished speaking, he turned on his mobile phone and played a video speech by the young emperor Liu Xie. The content was very simple. All supplies in Yiwu were handed over to the Bingzhou Army. In the future, the Bingzhou Army would pay 10,000 sets of armor and weapons to Huangfu Song as compensation. .

The emperor personally issued the order, and Huangfu Song quickly accepted the order and mentioned a few small conditions:

"I want two sets of the loudspeakers you are using; give me ten of those artillery pieces...that's all for now. We are all ministers of the same palace. I hope you can understand my difficulties."

They broke through Xiwu like a sharp knife, but there was no reward. If it was not handled well, the soldiers would mutiny.

If there were loudspeakers and artillery, at least I could give everyone an explanation.

Cao Xing said with a smile:

"The weapons brought this time are originally for General Huangfu, but the shells are precious, so I hope the general can use them sparingly."

Kirin Village already has new cannons with scales, so these old models can be eliminated.

Wei Xu added:

"The soldiers who control the artillery and trumpets were sent to General Huangfu. Chang'an hopes that the general can lead the army north to defend Chang'an and take over from General Wenyuan to put pressure on Li Jue and Guo Si. The prisoners of Xiwu will also be brought there, and Chang'an will There will be someone there to receive it.”

Only then did Huangfusong realize that he had been clearly arranged for a long time.

He opened his mouth:

"Whose plan was this?"

"This is our new military advisor to the Bingzhou Army, Xun You Xun Gongda."

"You are truly a great talent, I admire you!"

Satisfied, Huangfu Song soon led his people to leave Yiwu, while Cao Xing and Wei Xu led two thousand Bingzhou troops to collect the corpses, clean the battlefield, seal up food, and wait for Lu Bu to come.

At this point, the video is coming to an end. Wei Xu holds up the action camera and says respectfully:

"If you, sir, can see this video, please give me some advice on the boy's shooting techniques... I wish you and your wife happiness and good health!"

At the end of the video, Zhou Ruotong said with a smile:

"Marquis Wen, this brother-in-law is quite sensible. How about I give him some roast chicken?"

The last time Wei Xu escorted Sun Facai, he was thinking about Daokou roast chicken, so Li Yu bought hundreds of roast chickens at once, giving Wei Xu the title of Roast Chicken General.

If Professor Zhou delivers it again, the roast chicken will completely become Wei Xu's code name.

Li Yu thinks there is nothing wrong with this:

"Okay, they have a lot of work in Xiwu. Buying some roast chicken and getting some liquor will just make them relieve their fatigue."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ruotong picked up the phone, found a time-honored roast chicken shop, and ordered a thousand roast chickens at wholesale prices. He also found a trading company and wholesaled a hundred boxes of cheap liquor.

With everything ready, the young couple left the study with their action cameras, ready to go to Lu Bu and ask what to do with the food and gold and silver treasures...
