Chapter 4, Section 1
Amid the screams, the fire ignited one by one, and the panicked soldiers rushed up the city tower, but they became the latest bait for dense arrow rains...
Logically speaking, Yihe City is also a strong city. There are more than 5,000 permanent troops in the city, and there are 100,000 people inside and outside the city. It should be very simple to rely on the city to resist the impact of only 5,000 enemies. However, in fact, the battle situation is a one-sided tragic situation. We are in a hurry to respond, command chaos, and fight for their own battles, but we have been preparing for the momentum for a long time. We seem to be an opponent who is very familiar with the characteristics of Yihe City defending. From the beginning, the opponent has completely grasped the initiative. In less than half an hour of battle, hundreds of black water troops have fallen amid the terrible cry. At this time, the main form of the battle between the two sides was the shooting of bows and arrows, and they have not entered a real hand-to-hand combat at all.
This is too much. The Black Water Army should not be so weak.
Frowning in confusion, Yun Chongbo looked puzzled, looking left and right, hoping that there would be an answer.
That's not surprising.
Holding a long sword and blocking Yun Chongbo and Zhao Feiya, Xiao Wenshuang stared at the battlefield expressionlessly and said: The Black Sailors are not weak, but those who are stationed in Yihe have always been weak.
Because those who can come here are all confidants from the upper class of the Wanyan family. They came here to make money, and none of them were prepared to fight. But suddenly Zhao Feiya said coldly: This is not a reason.
It doesn't matter if you get rich. People die for money, and birds die for food. But as a soldier, he even forgot how he even fought. How could he arrange the city guards like this ghost, how could he train his subordinates to be like this ghost
The army is the shield of the country. The generals are slacking off their troops and slacking off their troops. They have always been a sign of destruction. The Wanyan family guards the border and shoulders the important tasks of the country. They dare to play this. This is tolerant, but who can't
Zhao Feiya spoke with a decisive voice, and everyone fought slightly. Xiao Wenshuang looked over, but suddenly asked: 200,000 imperial guards are divided into six battalions and eight guards, I don’t know where General Zhao serves.
Zhao Feiya raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: Brother Xiao understands the military system. He also said lightly: Work under the left guard of his subordinates, under General Tu.
They asked and answered each other, but Yun Chongbo didn't care. He just stared at the battle group and suddenly said: Can Xiang Ren really capture the city if he did this?
Xiang was just a horse team, and he was hiding in the wasteland and waiting for the opportunity. Naturally, there was no siege equipment. The so-called siege was just to deceive Yihe City. After the fast horse rushed to the city, he threw a long rope around and climbed the city. As for the guards above the city tower, they were handed over to the horse archers who fought back and forth to suppress it.
Of course it is impossible. Just glanced at the battle situation, Zhao Feiya said lightly. Xiao Wenshuang also said: It seems that there are still ambushers from Xiang people in the city, waiting to open the city.
Zhao Feiya looked at Xiao Wenshuang and smiled and said: OK. Yun Chongbo said anxiously: Then why don’t we take action?
Xiao Wenshuang shook her head slightly and didn't say anything. Zhao Feiya said: Brother Yun is indeed heroic, but when we go by now, we are just going to die.
He also said: The leader of the Xiangren also knew that there was our army. Look, there were about a thousand people on their left wing. They didn’t get off the horse, didn’t get into the sheath, but they never stepped forward to attack the city. It would be too much to say that they were reserves, and they should be able to respond.
Yun Chongbo looked at it, and as expected, he couldn't help but ask again: Then, when will we do it? Could it be that we keep watching it like this
Zhao Feiya actually nodded and said: Yes.
He also said: Let’s just look at it like this, and we must always see that Xiang Ren has won before we can intervene.
Yun Chongbo was stunned, but felt that Xiao Wenshuang stepped on him gently and stopped talking. When he turned his face to look at Xiao Wenshuang's expression, he saw that she was expressionless and was just looking at the battle situation in the distance.
well
Their place is south of Yihe, several miles away from the city, and only fires soar into the sky. Several people were wearing telescopes in their hands to see the battle situation in front of the city. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Yun Chongbo had to put the telescope in his eyes again, but he didn't know that Xiao Wenshuang's heart was rolling.
He knows that the army is powerful and capable, and has the power to control the subordinates, and does not have the kindness of Xiao Jing. This son is extraordinary. If the imperial guards have such a good general, they will inevitably suffer in the future. Isn't it?
As expected from afar, after the black sailors on the top of the city tried their best to knock down the first wave of Xiangren who had climbed the city, they suddenly heard a scream from the city gate below their feet. When the garrison officer finally reacted and hurriedly transferred his troops to block the door, it was too late. In fact, the total number of Xiangren elite soldiers, led by Jin Luonao, had grasped the brief chaos caused by being raided and snatched the city gate that was weakened because of the city's defense and chopped open.
Then there were cheers like roars and tsunamis, and the sound of horse hooves surging into the city like rolling thunder.
Can't hold on anymore, withdraw quickly
Six warehouses, at least six warehouses must be kept
Although panic, more than an hour had passed since the assault, the Black Water Army gradually calmed down and recovered from the initial chaos. Under the leadership of some middle and lower-level officers who still had a sense of responsibility and sufficient professional skills, they could show some cooperation and connection, and instead began to show that they were soldiers with combat as their profession.
The so-called six warehouses refer to six giant granaries built in Yihe City. They can store up to 150,000 stones of grain in total. In the minds of many people, it is the first reason why Yihe City should exist.
Cities built for grain naturally have special protection for granaries. In fact, at the beginning, the earliest city builders considered the situation where the city wall was defeated by foreign enemies or traitors, and therefore designed the Liucang into a large building scattered throughout the city and with independent defense capabilities. To some extent, they can even be imagined as stronghold buildings like the five major guard pavilions in Shengjing City. Moreover, compared with the city wall, the height of the exterior wall is more than two meters high, and they are not low. In the case of the reduction of the defense area and the lack of permanent residents within the interior, so there is no fear of traitors, so they are even easier to guard than the city wall.
In addition to the city wall being broken, only a brief resistance was carried out, and the Black Water Army retreated into Liucang and carried out the final resistance. It seemed that they did not expect that the Black Water Army would have such a reaction after the city was broken. The Xiang people who were still obsessed with the horse were slowed down by the streets, citizens and the black water army that were broken, and failed to hit the tail in time.
Compared with just now, this is a pretty good performance. It seems that although the two thousand households are useless, the middle and lower-level school assistants of the Black Water Army still have some talent.
His eyes were tightly on the telescope, and Zhao Feiya commented while observing the battle situation.
However, even so, only about 60% of the people who can withdraw into the six warehouses should be about 600. After all, each warehouse can have about 500 or 600 people to defend. If the Xiang people adopt the tactics of each defeat, they will probably support them until dawn.
At this time, the battle that started at midnight had lasted for nearly three hours. The dark stars and moons in the sky were gone, and only the undulating firelight in the city reflected on it, smearing the dark darkness with a bloody color. However, those who are familiar with the time knew that the sky was almost dawn at this time.
During a night, this is the darkest time, and after this, the sky will be bright, but at that time, how many people in Yihe City can see the dawn of the east.
As if there is infinite feeling, Zhao Feiya murmured, while Yun Chongbo was already anxious, he asked again: But, Zhao, Brother Zhao, when will we go to save people?
Zhao Feiya put down the distance mirror and looked at Yun Chongbo, and suddenly laughed: Brothers are really the heart of benevolent. The eldest brother has been in the army for many years, but he has never seen him.
Then he said: It's not possible now. If you go here, we will all die.
To go, you have to wait.
Wait until when
Yun Chongbo couldn't help asking questions again, but Xiao Wenshuang's eyes were stopped.
Like Zhao Feiya, he was always watching the battle situation with a remote mirror. Xiao Wenshuang had just put it down, and seemed a little tired. While rubbing her eyes, she said: Young Master, we can only go when the fire ignites in the sixth sect.
What does this mean
For some reason, Yun Chongbo turned his head unconsciously, and suddenly became shocked and said in a daze: Uncle, what are you like
Then he saw a pile of iron objects as big as copper bells moving. An iron helmet suddenly opened, revealing Hua Shengrong's white and bloodless face, and said: Xian, nephew, uncle, this is for your own good.
Yun Chongbo said in a daze: What
Hua Shengrong said: This bow and arrow do not have eyes. In a while, the uncle charges to kill the enemy. If he is killed by Xiang Ren, of course he has nothing to say, but if he is accidentally injured by your arrow, wouldn’t it be unfair. Are you also sad and guilty for the rest of your life. So, in order not to do this, the uncle gritted his teeth and would rather wear more clothes yourself and walk more tiredly, and must ensure that you can kill the enemy without burden.
His fallacy was justified and he was not ashamed at all. Yun Chongbo was stunned and could not speak for a moment. He just said: Oh, but he heard Zhao Feiya suddenly said: Very good.
Looking at Hua Shengrong, he had no expression on his face and said: You, not to mention an arrow, you can't even cut in the knife. After a while, you were about to charge first. As he said that, several soldiers had called them to take Hua Shengrong to the stormtrooper to prepare. Then he heard a moan, and there was another smell of stench, Hua Shengrong was so scared that he fainted.
