Wu Youren had never seen murder, but he was still scared at this time. There were only a hundred Yan soldiers outside the city, so he dared to approach the city wall and shoot arrows on the city. That was fine, but the Taiyuan soldiers on the city did not fight back at the first time, which made him unable to stand it!

But before he could scream and shoot the arrow, Li Chongjiu started shouting first. Li Chongjiu was not at all dangerous. He hid behind the walls, and there were two Jinwu soldiers holding shields for him. Unless the arrows of Yan soldiers outside the city would turn, they would definitely not be able to shoot him.

Li Chongjiu shouted: "Shoot the arrow, fight back, shoot the arrow!"

But it is not easy to get the Taiyuan soldiers to shoot arrows at this time. The reason is very simple, that is, there are no Taiyuan soldiers next to the wall. It is not that the Taiyuan soldiers are afraid of death. The soldiers and generals are originally troops guarding the city. Shooting arrows on the top of the city is a basic skill. How could there be any soldiers and generals be afraid to come forward? But at this time, the Lord and the Lord, and a group of officials were staying in the walls. They were all looking down. How could they have thought that the Yan soldiers would dare to approach and shoot arrows on them?

Moreover, when these nobles and officials saw that they all lay down when they shot arrows below, they wanted to avoid them, but they did not get out of the way. In this way, the Taiyuan soldiers could not reach the walls at all. They could not kick the nobles and officials away, and the soldiers did not dare to!

At this time, Du Daqin under the city led the soldiers and generals to chase after him. He seemed to want to catch up with the Yan soldiers and fight. At least he had to drive the Yan soldiers away from the city wall and could not shoot arrows on it anymore, but their pursuit was not smooth and they could not catch up with the Yan soldiers at all!

Fu Bingrong led a team of Bohai warriors and Zhenxi soldiers to shoot arrows and run around the city wall until they run out a hundred feet. At this time, the Taiyuan soldiers could start counterattacking, but the quality of the counterattack was really poor. The Taiyuan soldiers did not want to be shot to death. They hid behind the walls and saw the Yan soldiers coming. Then they put two arrows on. When the Yan soldiers passed, they shouted behind the walls and pretended to attack the enemy with great force. They were perfunctory!

At this time, the importance of military loyalty was shown. After Li Chongjiu had not completely controlled the army and had just abandoned the Taiyuan soldiers outside the city, he wanted the Taiyuan soldiers in the city to work hard and sacrifice for him. It was like dreaming in the daytime, and it was simply impossible!

Even in the Taiyuan Army, some smart veterans would think that the crisis encountered in Taiyuan this time was just that Li Chongjiu and King Yan were fighting for power. Whoever wins the most and who fails. In fact, it has nothing to do with them, the soldiers and the common people in the city. Everyone should just live their own lives!

But if the Yan army suffered a great loss in this offensive and defensive battle and Li Chongjiu could not win in the end, then if the Yan soldiers attacked the city, they would definitely take revenge. Who was the one who was unlucky in the end? They were not the soldiers and the civilians in the city? Why did they shed blood for Li Chongjiu? Just because he is the new emperor? Don’t joke, who admitted Li Chongjiu became the new emperor? It was just the ones who admitted it, so why didn’t those big masters let them go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?

Once you have such an idea that it doesn't matter to you in the battle, the army will not think of organizing an effective counterattack. When those smart veterans say their ideas, the recruits and even some low-level officers think that this is the case, and they will become even more powerless to resist!

The Taiyuan soldiers are not very weak. After all, they are regular troops with a system of establishment, and they have city walls as support. It is too simple to defeat Fu Bingrong, the one hundred people outside the city. They don’t have to shoot arrows on the city walls. They just need to open the city gate and rush out with a counterattack. They will definitely beat Fu Bingrong and the others to the point of urination!

But unfortunately, at this time, no general from Taiyuan ordered the city gate to open and the soldiers to charge. The reason was very simple, because no general who had the power to order the city gate was left alone and all were "controlled"!

When Li Chongjiu ordered Du Daqin and Prince Jingde to control the army, Du Daqin was very visionary and ordered all the middle and senior generals in the Taiyuan Army to be arrested, because this control method is the simplest and most effective, Prince Jingde also acquiesced!

But the current situation is that the children and grandchildren of Prince Jingde, who replaced the middle and senior generals, were accompanying Li Chongjiu, "protecting" the new emperor, while the Jinwu Army with Du Daqiu was chasing behind Yan Bing's butt outside the city, while the other half was also protecting Li Chongjiu. In this way, the Taiyuan Army was already headless. If they could still win the battle and beat Fu Bingrong and other hundred people to escape, it would be a miracle!

Fu Bingrong led a hundred people to run around the city wall, just like showing off his power. Not only did no one lose, but they no longer dared to approach the city wall. After all, scaring the nobles and scaring the regular army were different. Instead, it really made the Taiyuan soldiers understand that the Yan army was extremely powerful, which made a war-weariness spread in the Taiyuan army. This was originally a war that had nothing to do with them. The enemy was still so strong, so why should they still be firmly on the city wall?

When Fu Bingrong ran around Taiyuan City for a whole circle, and was so tired that his horses were sweating all over his body, he didn't even know that the guards on the Taiyuan City Wall had already run away one-third in such a short time. Everyone went home to protect their wives and children. As for whom to protect the new emperor Li Chongjiu, it would be left to the masters and grandpas to do this. Who told them to be relatives with the new emperor!

At this time, the sky was getting darker. Although the Yan soldiers blocked all the city gates and roads, due to the dispersion of troops, the blockage was actually blocked. However, as long as a Taiyuan soldier with hundreds of people left the city gate, no matter which city gate came out, they could easily drive away the Yan soldiers blocked the door. Many Taiyuan soldiers saw this, but since no one gave the order, no one would foolishly do such things. After all, if they left the city, they might die, and no one wanted to die!

It was almost dark, and Li Chongjiu found that the Yan soldiers below did not attack much. He felt relieved and slowly left the city wall. He said to Prince Cheng: "Let's spread the news that Yang Ze is dead first. Tell the soldiers and civilians in the city. It's better to post a notice. This cannot be delayed anymore. Also, we can't wait in the city, send people out, recruit soldiers from nearby prefectures and counties, and let local officials send troops to support. It is estimated that the Yan soldiers in the brigade will arrive soon!"

Prince Cheng quickly agreed. He thought to himself: "His Majesty the Emperor finally understood the matter once, but it was a pity that the reaction was a little slow. This order should be issued earlier!"

Just then, Wu Youren suddenly exclaimed: "Your Majesty, the brigade of Yan soldiers is here. Look, there must be more than 10,000 cavalrymen running around!"

The grandfathers on the city ran to the wall again. Looking into the distance, they saw that the south was indeed dusty. Although they could not see the specific number of people, based on this momentum, they knew that the people coming were far more than the Yan soldiers who had arrived before. The grandfathers and grandfathers cursed in their hearts. Li Chongjiu was really a crow-mouthed. At this time, at least half of the people no longer regarded Li Chongjiu as the new emperor, and even regarded him as a disaster star. They specifically brought disasters to them!

Li Chongjiu rushed to the wall again. It was dark at this time. In fact, if there was no trembling of the ground from afar, it would be difficult to find countless cavalry running from afar just by relying on his eyes. Once he discovered it, he would immediately know that the real danger was coming!

Li Chongjiu said anxiously: "With the troops in our Taiyuan City, can we resist these Yan soldiers? They seem to have a lot of people! What should I do? What should I do?"

Wu Youren was very anxious. At this time, Li Chongjiu showed a panic expression. Wouldn’t he shake the morale of the army? Although the morale of the soldiers and generals in the city was almost shaken. However, the last straw that broke the camel’s back appeared later, the better!

Wu Youren said: "The Yan army that came must be the army brought out by Yang Ze. The emperor does not need to worry. As long as they arrive at the city, there will be internal conflicts. We just need to wait and see what happens!"

He paused and said, "Our army cannot attack. Just look at Yang Ze's confidants, how can we start a war with Gui Baohua!"

Li Chongjiu only then remembered that they had already analyzed the situation about the Yan army brigade running outside the city. The solution analyzed by Wu Youren himself was to do nothing and respond to all changes. This result was very consistent with his thinking. If he had to do nothing, he would win directly, which was of course the best!

Li Chongjiu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The night is coming soon. It is a good time for internal strife. Let's watch the show tonight. I guess when the day is dawn tomorrow, the Yan army will disappear and they will kill themselves!"

Prince Cheng, Prince Jingde and others were relieved. They nodded together, saying that this must be the case. The emperor was wise. Even if the situation was not very good now, they still loyally flattered Li Chongjiu!

But at this moment, a discordant voice sounded under the city. When everyone looked down, it turned out that Du Dazhai had returned with the Jinwu soldiers and Taiyuan cavalry. A hundred people followed Yan soldiers around the city and did not fall behind with a few people. There were even dozens of people. It was probably the defeated soldiers who had been gathered halfway. It seemed that Du Dazhai was still very effective in leading the troops to pursue him!

Du Da's chin shouted under the city: "Open the city gate, hurry up and let us in, don't be afraid. Yan Bing has been beaten away by us long ago. There are no enemies nearby. Open the city gate quickly and don't waste time, otherwise Yan Bing will come again in a while!"

Now there are indeed no Yan soldiers outside the city, Li Chongjiu immediately remembered this general who was loyal to him. He hurriedly said, "Hurry up and open the city gate and let General Du enter the city!"

Prince Jingde quickly agreed, regardless of his age and his legs were not flexible, so he forced his children and grandchildren to support him and personally went down the city wall to open the city gate for Du Dazhao. This was a great face for Du Dazhao. Taking this opportunity to apologize to Du Dazhao. After all, the two of them were in charge of the army together, and he escaped first, but threw Du Dazhao outside the city. This behavior was really unauthorized.

Du Daqi entered the city with his chin, and after saying a few words to Prince Jingde, he immediately went up to the city and shouted to Li Chongjiu: "Emperor, the Yan army brigade has arrived. The last general is lying on the ground and listening to the sound. It is estimated that at least 30,000 people have arrived, all of them are cavalry, very arrogant!"

Everyone thought to themselves: "It's all cavalry, you can tell it without lying on the ground and listening to the sound!"

Li Chongjiu hurriedly asked, "How to retreat to the enemy? General Du may have a good plan?"

Du Da's chin was stunned and thought to himself: "What's going on? I asked me how to retreat to the enemy as soon as I came up. Could it be that I wanted to throw me outside again?"

He said, "No need to fight, as long as we wait and see the changes on the top of the city. This Yan army will inevitably be in conflict and chaos!"

Wu Youren nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, there will be internal strife and chaos!"

Li Chongjiu breathed a long sigh and said, "Then let's wait here to see! I'm hungry and I haven't eaten for almost a day. Why don't we put a banquet on the top of the city and watch the internal strife of the Yan army while drinking?"

Everyone felt hungry at this time. At the critical moment, they were too nervous and could not feel hungry. But now they finally relaxed for a while and immediately felt hungry. They quickly asked people to bring wine and meat. Some of them could enjoy it even sent someone to call their own chefs, intending to cook the dishes on the top of the city and ask Li Chongjiu to taste it.

As the food and food came up, even the tables and chairs were placed on the top of the city, the atmosphere changed and became more relaxed. Li Chongjiu sat on the city tower, which seemed to Zhuge Liang sang an empty city plan, but Zhuge Liang was playing a piano in front of him, and roast mutton was placed in front of him!

At this time, the Yan soldiers of the brigade had already rushed to the bottom of the city, but the Yan soldiers did not stop, but scattered to both sides with the central flag as the center, as if they were to surround the entire Taiyuan City!

Wu Youren laughed, picked up the wine glass, and made a gesture to give Li Chongjiu a cup, and said with a smile: "This Yan army is indeed not worth fearing. Although Taiyuan City is not as good as Chang'an, it is one of the world's big cities. To surround the city, it requires at least 200,000 troops. However, only tens of thousands of troops below want to surround the city. Not only can't surround it, but it also disperses its troops. I don't know if this bad idea was thought out by Yang Ze's confidant or Gui Baohua, but it is extremely stupid anyway!"

The lords and grandpas on the city tower laughed loudly after hearing this. Everyone had a look of Yan Jun below, and the Yan Jun was not worried about it!

But at this time, Prince Cheng's eldest son whispered to Prince Cheng: "Father, that Lord Wu doesn't seem to know about soldiers! The Yan army does not need to siege the city, they just need to block the city gate!" He had experienced it among the people and understood some of the situation.

Prince Cheng whispered: "He can say whatever he wants. Just listen, don't say much. Alas, I regret it now. I'm asking you to come back. It seems that the situation is not good!"

The eldest son lowered his voice and said, "Father, the news that King Yan is dead was brought back by Li Mofeng. If it was false news, the King Yan was not dead..."

"Then we all have to die!" The muscles on Prince Cheng's face twitched. He was also worried about this now. The Yan army still rushed over in an institutional way without a trace of chaos. This was a little wrong!

The eldest son looked at Wu Youren, who was still joking with Li Chongjiu, and whispered: "So should we prepare for both things first? If the Yan army has internal conflicts, it will continue as planned. If the King of Yan is dead, it is fake news, then we can't follow him again... and follow Wu Youren. This guy's head will be used by us at that time, which is also a way to get the King of Yan forgiveness!" He was embarrassed to say that he would not follow Li Chongjiu.

Prince Cheng also glanced at Wu Youren, nodded softly, and whispered: "Look at the internal strife below, wait and see if it changes, and don't make decisions!" (To be continued.)
