Chapter 460 Giant Egg
A horse came running from behind.
"Report, to report to the Duke of Wei, the master of Qingfengwu, Yang Jichu, led two hundred soldiers down the mountain. He wanted to attack our rear army, but was shot and killed by Qin Yong's captain. Most of the two hundred robbers were shot and killed by the warrior battalion, and they fled in defeat. Go back to Wubao on the mountain, keep the door behind closed doors, and don’t dare to be arrogant again!"
Qin Lang laughed out loud after hearing this.
"Happy!"
The courier hands over a box.
"This is the head of Yang Jichu shot and killed by Colonel Yang Yong, and there is also the flag of Bandit Yang!"
"Come here, put Yang Jichu's head on his Wuzhu flag, hold it high, and hit the front of the team!" Qin Lang ordered. Then he said, "Go back and tell Qin Yong, just say that everyone in the warrior battalion has made a great contribution, and you will be rewarded in return!"
······
The Yang family’s Langshan main dock has a circumference of eight miles, enclosing the Qiongqi River in the city, so that the Qiongqi River, a tributary of the upper reaches of the Zuoxi River, passes through the city. The Yang family erected a water gate and regarded the Qiongqi River as their own canal. A Lang Son Wu was thus divided into two parts, the North City and the South City.
There are twelve sub-docks outside Lang Son Dock, scattered within 20 miles around it.
The twelve sub-docks are of different sizes, but they all have at least a thousand people, and each dock has at least 200 dock soldiers, all of whom are well-trained and equipped.
In Yang Jiyuan's defense plan, anyone who wants to attack the Yang family has to take down these forts first, otherwise, with the strength of the Yang family's Langshan Wubali Dawu, as well as the sufficient dock soldiers and food and grass equipment in the dock, then Yang Jiyuan can not be afraid of any enemy's direct attack.
As long as the enemy can't fight quickly, they will eventually face the problem of logistics and food. At this time, the importance of the twelve auxiliary docks is reflected. They can intercept the enemy's supply when the enemy is under the main dock. Make the enemy a soldier without food.
Finally the enemy had to retreat.
Retreat without food, the morale of the army will inevitably be unstable. At this time, Yang Jiyuan leads the troops to pursue again, and the enemy will be defeated.
This is the danger of his Yang family's thirteen serial docks, and it is also his biggest bargaining chip.
"Report, Qin Lang led more than 10,000 people straight to Lang Son, and the forward has bypassed Qingfengwu!"
Hearing the news, Yang Jiyuan heaved a sigh of relief.
"Qin Lang is known as a general, born with general talent, but I think it's nothing more than that. All kinds of rumors outside are just exaggerated, just putting money on his face."
Yang Qin and others also said, "The surname Qin can't see the strength of my family's Thirteenth Lianhuanwu. With only 10,000 people, they dare to come straight to the main dock. This is really a dead end."
"The more people there are, the more food and grass will be consumed at that time. I'll see if he can't take Lang Son Wu by then, and he can hold on for a few days under this city!"
Yang's father and son were all overjoyed for a moment, thinking that victory was in sight.
Yang Jiyuan even asked people to prepare more tortoise feet, willow pulp wine and earthy meat sauce, and a few more black-toothed girls, "When Qin Langdun is under our Wubao and can't advance or retreat, the old man will come and have a good time with him Talk about a truce and talk."
Yang Xun even said, "Uncle is old. If I lead Qingfengwu, I will never sit still. I will definitely lead my troops down the mountain and attack Qin Lang's rear team. I will never let him pass by easily. I must kill all of you ruthlessly." The vigor and prestige of killing him will let him know that my Yang family is not easy to mess with!"
The brothers all praised it together, talking about the army on paper, saying that they will lead the army, so what will happen, anyway, in their eyes, Qingfengwu can advance and retreat, and is condescending. Although it is impossible to defeat Qin Lang, But it would be too easy to cause some trouble and kill Qin Lang's prestige.
The terrain there, Qin Lang's soldiers can't move, they can only pass by a long snake, which just gives them a chance to attack the long snake.
Yang Jiyuan suddenly had a good appetite.
"Cook a few eggs to eat!"
The Tiaozhi eggs are the eggs of the Tiaozhi giant bird (ostrich), which comes from the Tiaozhi country in the western regions. It was brought to Jiaozhou by a Persian merchant from the sea, and the man surnamed Nong bought it and planned to sell it to Guizhou.
The bird was huge and strange, so Yang Jichu gave it to Yang Jiyuan. Yang Jiyuan liked it very much after he got it, and specially sent people to Jiaozhou to ask Persian businessmen to learn how to raise the giant bird. This bird is big and lays big eggs.
One egg weighs three or four catties, so it has a unique taste when roasted.
However, this bird doesn't lay many eggs, and Yang Jiyuan usually eats them reluctantly.
But now, in a good mood, he decided to get two giant eggs to eat, and even thought about it, when Qin Lang came, he would also give him a taste.
The servants carried two huge eggs, just like holding a watermelon.
"Handle with care."
Yang Jiyuan sat on the tower of Wubao, and reprimanded his servants, these are all his treasures. Raising giant birds and eating giant eggs is now also a hobby of Yang Jiyuan.
Even when there are distinguished guests entertaining, Lao Yang will inevitably invite people to eat a giant egg, and cook the giant egg himself every time, so as to show the strength of the Yang family to the guests.
The huge branch eggs have to be supported by a special wooden bottom bracket.
Yang Jiyuan also asked the craftsman to make a special shell opener. The egg shell is as hard as a stone, and it is difficult to open without special tools.
Turn the egg shell carefully with a shell opener, then lightly tap it with a silver hammer to open the shell, and then clamp the opened shell with gold tweezers.
Lao Yang put his nose close to the open hole and took a sniff.
Slightly fishy.
Lao Yang nodded intoxicated, and took a deep breath.
"Bring the golden chopsticks!"
A pair of specially made long golden chopsticks was delivered, and Lao Yang put the chopsticks into the egg pot and stirred it gently.
The egg is too big. If it is not stirred evenly, it will be difficult to pour the giant egg out from the opening.
Stir the egg white and egg yolk evenly to become egg liquid, and it will be easy to pour it at this time.
A silver basin was set up, and the heavy eggs were picked up, and poured into the silver basin. The huge egg, which was nearly four catties, poured out the egg liquid that was half a silver basin.
Lao Yang looked at the egg liquid with a focused expression.
He enjoys this process very much, and he doesn't care about other people's eyes, which has become a hobby of his.
Beat the egg liquid evenly, add some warm water, then add chopped green onion, shake well, add some salt, and pour some sesame oil.
Take a special stone pot, heat it up, add oil, pour in the egg liquid and spread it evenly.
Heat the oil slightly, pour in the egg liquid, and listening to the sizzling sound, Lao Yang is very proud.
"Report!"
A loud shout interrupted Lao Yang's action of frying giant egg pancakes.
"Report, the big thing is not good. Master Yang Wu led his troops down the mountain to attack Qin Lang, but was shot and killed by Qin Lang's generals, and died on the spot. Qingfengwu's 200 elite, half of them were killed and injured, and they are currently defending Wubao to resist the enemy."
Originally smelling the aroma of the egg liquid expanding in the stone pot oil, Lao Yang shook his hands very satisfied.
Golden chopsticks cut a hole in a thin and uniform omelette.
"What did you say?"
"The leader of Yangwu died in the battle, and most of the 200 Wu soldiers were killed or injured."
Yang Jiyuan trembled, "Impossible."
Just now, he was still shouting that his uncle was getting old, and he didn't dare to lead the army to fight, and missed the Yang Jiyuan and other sons who severely defeated Qin Lang's prestige. At this time, they all fell silent.
Yang Jichu died, and more than half of the 200 elite soldiers of Qingfeng Castle were killed or injured.
How can this be.
"He must have underestimated the enemy and was ambushed by Qin bandits!" Yang Xun shouted.
The visitor whispered, "At that time, Qin Lang had already led most of his troops through Qingfengwu, leaving only five hundred infantry and one hundred Qingqi in the rear. When the incident happened, Master Yang Wu led two hundred cavalry out of the fort to kill down the mountain, but still When encountering the formation, he had already been killed and wounded dozens of times by the five hundred infantry with longbows and crossbows. He was about to charge close, and Yang Wuzhu, who was the first soldier, was shot and killed by Qin Yong's arrow from Qin Lang's family. After that, the morale of the Qin soldiers surged and they charged When they came out, they broke the Qingfeng Fortress, if the rear line hadn't retreated quickly, the two hundred troops would have been wiped out."
No ambush.
Two hundred against five hundred, although it was a small number of people, they didn't even have a serious duel. They shot and killed dozens of people before they ran down the mountain, and then even the owner of the dock was shot and killed, and then they rushed up , A wave killed the front line.
The ones in the rear ran fast and escaped back.
run fast?
Yang Jiyuan could already imagine the scene of the battle at that time. It is estimated that as soon as the Qin soldiers charged, the Wu soldiers who had lost their generals began to turn around and run away, but the front-line soldiers could no longer escape.
This is his unexpected result.
His brother was as brave as ever.
It's just that he died so uselessly that he was killed by an arrow.
Qingfeng Castle's so-called elite 200 soldiers were defeated in one blow.
Shame.
"I will execute all those deserters!"
"I want to dig out their hearts and livers, and pay homage to the dead at the beginning of the season!"
Wu Ding, who came to report the letter, whispered a little uneasy, "Yang Wuzhu's head and flag were taken by Yang Yong, and now Yang Yong has dedicated the Wuzhu's head and flag to Qin Lang. Qin Lang let people Insert the head of the dock master with the flag of the dock master, and come all the way!"
"brother!"
Yang Jiyuan let out a scream, and fell to the ground, he also touched the stone pot, and the fried golden-yellow giant egg pancakes also fell to the ground, covered with dust.
The brothers of the Yang family rushed to help their father.
Yang Jiyuan was still wearing an apron, sitting on the ground and weeping bitterly.
The so-called brave brother died just like that, and the two hundred soldiers of Qingfengwu, who had always been known as the elite of the Yang family, were so vulnerable in front of the Qin family, which made Yang Jiyuan feel terrified and powerless.
Now that most of Qin Lang is coming, how will he face it?
At dusk.
Qin Lang led his troops all the way to the Langshanwu, the head of the Yang family.
On the beach of Qiongqi River, a group of people drove up, spread out, and stood in line.
Dugu Yanyun was riding a horse, with Yang Jichu's flag planted on his head, holding it high, and galloped to the front of Wubao.
"Yang Jiyuan, Duke Wei asked me to ask you, do you recognize this head?"
There was a dead silence on the dock.
Yang Jichu's gray hair and wrinkled face are recognized by many people in the castle. After all, Yang Jichu is the brother of the owner of the dock, and he often comes to the owner of Langshan.
no respond.
Dugu Yanyun held the head flag and rode his horse around the dock under the fort.
On the fort, the Yang Xun brothers finally couldn't bear it, and they shot arrows with their bows and arrows, but Dugu Yanyun was so good at riding that he couldn't do anything even counting arrows.
Dugu made a circle, then galloped back to the front of the castle, and planted the head flag on the ground.
"If you have the ability, come out and get it!"
