Chapter 75: The city is about to be destroyed

Yun Qing looked at the cavalry who arrived first, and couldn't help laughing: "Sure enough, the cavalry was sent to investigate first." "It's just that when they see this moat, they must be very depressed."

"Lord Viscount, should we attack" Jia Lin looked at the cavalry in the distance, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

Yun Qing said with a smile: "You don't need to attack." After all, we don't take advantage. But it can scare them. Han Zhen, you take your brothers to the moat and reward them with two rounds of arrow rain. ”

When Han Zhen heard this, he immediately took the order and left.

"Jialin, you take a group of men and horses, bring more torches, go out through the side gate, go around to the flank, and when you hear the drums in the city, you light the torches and shout loudly to rush here for some distance, be careful, you are not allowed to fight them."

Jia Lin immediately took the order and left.

Standing on the city wall, Yun Qing looked at the Eastern Navy cavalry who were at a loss, and suddenly laughed: "When I came, Yanhui Beauty insisted that I bring those thousands of bags of herbs and ice beans, saying that it must be useful." Now it seems that even these Eastern Navy cavalry have been calculated. ”

Han Zhen led the archers to the moat silently.

Since he wanted to shoot more cavalry, he ordered all the archers not to light torches.

After arriving at the moat, Han Zhen looked at the cavalry opposite, sneered and waved his hand, "Release the arrow." ”

As soon as he gave the order, an overwhelming rain of arrows shot towards the cavalry on the other side of the moat.

The cavalry general on the opposite side was carefully observing the walled city, trying to find a breakthrough, but suddenly saw many figures on the opposite side shaking.

Then the rain of arrows fell overwhelmingly.

He brandished his weapon to block some arrows, but was still hit by several arrows.

Fortunately, he didn't hit the vital point, and he immediately turned his horse and left: "Retreat, retreat." Draw away from the opponent's bow and arrow. ”

At this moment, the rumbling of drums suddenly sounded in the walled city.

On the flanks, shouts of killing were heard.

Turning his head, he saw that a long dragon of firelight on the flanks was approaching with the sound of shouting and killing, and looking at the situation of the firelight, there were probably a lot of people.

"Not good, there is an ambush. Hit the plan. The whole army retreated, retreating thirty miles. The cavalry general ordered in horror.

The cavalry of the Eastern Navy roared and roared away, leaving behind thousands of corpses and thousands of wounded soldiers.

Although this loss was not obvious to the Eastern Navy, it greatly boosted the morale of Yunqing.

"Come on, lower the drawbridge, and bring those vanilla and ice beans with me." Yun Qing saw the retreat of the cavalry of the Eastern Navy, and immediately gave an order.

After turning around, Yun Qing pointed to the ground and said, "Sprinkle those herbs and ice beans on such grass, remember to sprinkle them evenly, and the range should be as wide as possible." ”

"Lord Viscount, what is this for" Han Zhen was a little confused: "Miss Lin asked us to bring these, what are we going to do?"

"She guess she just wanted me to do that." Yun Qing pointed to the fragrant grass and ice beans scattered on the grass and laughed: "Tell me, what is the use of these two things?"

Han Zhen said with a bitter face when he heard this: "This Viscount, you are stumped on me. This herb has a special aroma, and horses like to eat it the most, as if a drunkard smelled it. As for the ice beans, this thing will cause diarrhea when eaten. As for what Sasa is doing here, I really don't understand. ”

"You see, this area, the most suitable place to camp, except for the place where we built the walled city, is the flat land over there. And this meadow here is more suitable for cavalry stationing. Yun Qing pointed to the place where he said: "The cavalry is stationed here, think about it, those horses smell the smell of fragrant grass, and there is a reason not to hurry up and eat it, and when those horses eat fragrant grass, they will also eat this ice bean." You must know that these ice beans have been put together with those vanilla herbs, and I don't know how long they have been placed, and they have long been contaminated with the smell of vanilla. ”

"Ahhhhh Only then did Han Zhen understand: "Oh my God, in this way, their horses will be completely wasted." ”

"I don't dare to say that it's all wasted, after all, it is difficult to guarantee that all the war horses will eat ice beans. But it is still possible to abolish a third of them. Yun Qing laughed: "Just this one-third is enough to make their military hearts chaotic." ”

Han Zhen shouted again and again: "This is amazing, the army is in a mess, what kind of battle are they fighting, Miss Lin is really powerful." ”

"But I don't know if she really plans to do that. That's how I used it anyway. If she hadn't had the idea to fight afterwards, then I wouldn't have been able to do it. Yun Qing smiled and said, "Okay, let the brothers cheer up and spread the scope a little wider." ”

Han Zhen listened to Yunqing's explanation, and immediately happily took the soldiers to scatter grass and beans

After the Eastern Navy arrived, looking at the heavily defended coalition city in the distance, Donghai Gong's face could almost drip ink.

"How could they build a walled city" Donghai Gong was about to go crazy, this was simply built under his nose.

You know, his spies go around the area twice a day.

But no one answered him, because everyone else was deeply shaken. They still can't believe it's true.

Looking at the army of the East China Sea in the distance, Yun Qing had already ordered to be ready for battle: "The whole army is ready to defend, the number of enemies is ten times that of ours, even if it is attacked, it will be advantageous." Don't let up. ”

"Lord Duke, we don't have time to hesitate. They should take advantage of the arrival of their army to take down the walled city. The general next to him said: "There are not many people in their walled city, if we attack it, we will definitely succeed, in that case, not only can we destroy this part of the soldiers, but also take this walled city." In this way, the big picture is decided. ”

"What do you think" Donghai Gongyan's heart moved, and then he looked at several other nobles and generals.

"Lord Duke, the Admiral thinks it is feasible."

"Indeed, although the siege is the last strategy, our troops are ten times theirs, and the siege is definitely very certain."

"Very good, give me the order to go down and give me a siege." The Duke of the East Sea immediately ordered.

Looking at the soldiers of the Eastern Navy who were rushing over like a tide, Yun Qing waved his hand and said, "Prepare to release the arrows." Siege crossbows and trebuchets are prepared. ”

Soon, the Eastern Navy soldiers rushed to the moat.

Many soldiers jumped directly into the moat and swam to the opposite bank.

But they were greeted by an overwhelming rain of arrows.

"Lord Duke, we didn't think about attacking the city when we came, so we didn't carry siege equipment. And that moat is a real problem. In my opinion, it is better to use the fence of the battalion to let the soldiers build a wooden bridge. Seeing many soldiers being shot in the moat, a general had a flash of inspiration in his mind and offered a plan.

"Hmph, good idea, if the city is captured, you should take the first credit." When the East China Sea Gong heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately ordered the soldiers to tear down sections of fences to serve as bridges.

Although Yunqing used the rain of arrows to block it, the Donghai Gong side was outnumbered after all, and after all, they still lowered a few sections of fence as a bridge, and many soldiers rushed across the moat.

"Siege crossbows ready, aim at the bridge and shoot. Trebuchet, aiming at crowded places. Yun Qing immediately ordered.

The soldiers who had crossed the moat immediately rushed to the wooden gate of the first fence and began to bang on it.

And on the city wall behind, the siege crossbow suddenly became powerful, and the thick crossbow arrows shot directly at the bridge deck where the soldiers of the Eastern Navy crossed the river.

On the other side of the moat, scattered boulders thrown by trebuchets fell, causing dozens of casualties in an instant.

Dozens of siege crossbows and trebuchets suddenly slowed down the offensive of the Eastern Navy.

But this was only temporary, after all, and soon more Eastern Navy soldiers rushed through the moat.

"Almost, the archers continue to release arrows, Jia Lin, you take people out of the city to clear those guys who cross the river." Yun Qing immediately ordered.

After receiving the order, Jia Lin immediately led the army out of the city.

The Eastern Navy, who was smashing the wooden gate of the first fence, suddenly realized that the wooden door had been opened at some point, and they crashed headlong and fell directly to the ground.

When they looked up, they saw a heroic female general leading the army standing in front of them, swinging a knife and slashing down

The shouting of killing shook the sky, and Jia Lin led the soldiers to take the initiative to attack and began to clean up the Eastern Navy soldiers who had crossed the moat.

The battle suddenly became stalemate.

The soldiers of the Eastern Navy could not attack the walled city, and the Yunqing side was not able to repel the attack of the Eastern Navy.

"Hahaha, it seems that it is only a matter of time before the city is broken." Sun Canghai laughed, as if he saw the scene where the walled city was taken by himself.

The fighting continued into the evening.

Jia Lin and Yun Qing have taken turns to lead their troops out of the city to fight several times, and although the archers on the city wall take turns to fight, they are also tired and their arms are sore. Even the arrows in the walled city are running out.

"What the hell, they're too slow." Yun Qing was a little worried, according to the distance, the army should have arrived in the afternoon, but it still appeared until now, could there be something wrong on the road

But it's unlikely to think about it, after all, the Eastern Navy is here, what can happen to them

At this time, Yunqing had directly asked Jia Lin to withdraw to the city, and the city gate was closed, just blindly defending.

The gate of the first fence has been breached, and the Eastern Navy has begun to hit the gate of the walled city, if there are no more reinforcements, I am afraid that it will not be long before the city will be breached.

And at this moment, there was a sudden sound of shouting and killing from the east, Yun Qing looked around, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed, and the long-awaited reinforcements finally came.

"No wonder I came so late and actually took a detour to sneak across the river." Only then did Yunqing understand the reason why the reinforcements came late. The army went around and crossed the river in the distance. After all, if you arrive directly, crossing the river under the nose of the Eastern Navy is tantamount to looking for death
