Chapter 1476: Defending the City

Tang Feng, who was holding a longbow, quietly watched Zhao Hu and his party go away quickly, and Lei Ming, who was so angry with Zhao Hu that his face was flushed, saw Tang Feng's appearance, he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked carefully: "Uncle, what's wrong?" ā€

Tang Feng said with a solemn face: "That major named Zhao Hu is not simple, he is not just a deep background. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

"Hmph, it's just a guy who runs fast on a horse, and his background is definitely not deep! Otherwise he wouldn't be a little major. Lei Ming said angrily.

"Look at his performance, I dare say that his fighting ability is on par with mine, can someone so brave be an ordinary person?"

Tang Feng sighed and said: "It seems that the capture of Jinwen County this time is not as simple as imagined, but it is a pity that the fierce three battles died, otherwise you can also carefully inquire about what other abilities this Zhao Hu has." ā€

Lei Ming, who was taken aback by Tang Feng's words of equal fighting ability, swallowed his saliva and asked, "Uh, uncle, what if we capture Jin Wencheng after heavy losses of more than 10,000 people?" Or, what if we can't capture Jin Wencheng at all? ā€

Lei Ming is not an arrogant brat, he knows that his uncle is a person who does not speak big, and an imperial major can compete with the first person in the Shanyue armed forces? It made him feel a little bad about the future.

And he knows very well that these Shanyue soldiers he brought out are the strength of his own tribe, if he loses a lot, not only will he not be able to explain to the tribe, but the tribe with few soldiers will be swallowed up by other tribes immediately, and he will be a sinner for the ages.

Hearing this, Tang Feng groaned for a while and sighed.

"The appearance of this Zhao Hu, I don't dare to guarantee that we can capture Jinwen City with a slight loss, so let's do it, the mountain regiment will lose one percent, and the tribal soldiers will lose three percent, and if we don't defeat Jin Wencheng, we will collect our troops..."

Lei Ming couldn't help but cut off: "Collect the troops? No way! We have been propagandizing for so long and we have withdrawn our troops like this, and we can't explain it inside and outside! ā€

Tang Feng glared at Lei Ming: "It's a retreat, not a retreat, what are you panicking about?" We collected our troops and retreated ten miles away to camp, and then went back to move the rescue troops, and now that the empire is in turmoil, will such a good opportunity be let go in vain? ā€

"Move the rescuers? But in this way, the city will be divided among other tribes, and it will no longer be the exclusive possession of our fierce tribes. "Lei Ming is very unwilling.

"Stupid!"

Tang Feng scolded angrily first, and then looked around for a while before he whispered: "What is the foundation of a strong tribe? Population! The most important of these is a soldier who can fight!

"We, the soldiers who have been tested in bloody battles, are the foundation of the tribe, and as long as they are there, the tribe will be strong! And what about the soldiers who are gone? Clans will be swallowed up by other tribes in no time! ā€

"I know, my father made a special statement to minimize casualties, but I felt that I was unwilling to give someone a share of the fat meat just like that." Lei Ming said dejectedly.

"If you want to open it, this is just a precaution, maybe Zhao Hu's five thousand recruits are not vulnerable at all."

Speaking of this, Tang Feng's tone was lowered: "Besides, if Jin Wencheng is difficult to bite, we will even ask the tribes near the tribe to come and help." ā€

As the cavalry scouts guessed, at noon, a dense crowd of mountain bandits appeared in front of everyone.

"Set up camp!"

A kilometer away from Jin Wen City, Tang Feng gave an order.

Thousands of rudimentary tents were immediately set up in the snow. The Shanyue soldiers, who were in charge of food, began to gather the food and firewood that each person carried, and then took out the utensils, loaded them with snow and began to boil water for cooking.

It's funny to say that Shanyue doesn't have a special logistics unit, and this time everyone carried food on them, and that was because they went to foreign countries.

When fighting in the clan alliance, there is no food prepared at all, because either the defeated battle can only be found in the mountains and wilderness to eat, or the defeated person will be robbed of food to eat.

Zhao Hu and the others on the city tower also saw the crowd of black pressure one kilometer outside the city. Although the soldiers of the escort team were still standing upright, they still couldn't help but panic a little because they had never been on the battlefield.

Seeing this, Zhao Hu shook his head, if the enemy army attacked the city now, I am afraid that his subordinates would not even be able to play a role in Sancheng's ability. But think about it, how can recruits who have never seen blood calmly participate in the tragic task of defending the city?

However, his own escorts are quite good, at least they are still standing straight, and they don't talk to each other.

The performance of those young and strong men was not satisfactory, and even the enemy had not seen it, and based on conjecture alone, they were already full of panic.

When the smoke was rising from the mountain bandits, Zhao Hu was also busy.

Zhao Hu divided the 20,000 strong men into seven troops, the first six were 3,000 men each, and the latter one was 2,000 men. The first six teams were soldiers in rotation, and the two thousand people in the back were all relatively weak strong men, assigned to Sun Jie to be in charge of logistics work.

Sun Jie's most important job at present is to organize the people of the whole city, so as not to make a mess when retreating. Under the threat of the mountain bandits breaking the city, no matter whether the people are reluctant to move away or not, they can only obey the order to collect some family wealth and prepare to leave this ghost place.

All the officers of the personal guard were transferred to serve as officers among the 3,000 men in the first round, and only 2,000 of these 3,000 were from soldiers, and the other 1,000 were from auxiliary soldiers. Zhao Hu himself served as the commander of the first round of troops, and Zhou Wen was in charge of the rest of the troops.

And Zhao Hu's other personal guards, that is, those dozens of cavalrymen, dismounted to form a warlord.

The supervising team stood at the back of the team, the bright steel knife lit up, the fierce expression waved, the soldiers' hearts were tight, Zhao Hu took the opportunity to give an order: "Kill those who violate the order!" Kill the retreater! ā€

As for calling on the soldiers to fight to the death against the mountain bandits, Sun Jie, the person in charge of the intelligence department, had already let the secret guards incite among the soldiers. Since the city is to be abandoned, the spies arranged in the city must be withdrawn.

After lunch, the nearly 10-meter-high and kilometer-long city wall in front of me looks very impressive from this kilometer point.

Most of the Shanyue soldiers who had never seen this kind of masonry city wall were all stunned, including the thunder.

Tang Feng couldn't stand it, and patted Lei Ming's shoulder and made a look.

Thunder, who knew what was going on, immediately shouted, "Brothers, did you see it? That's the county seat of Jinwen County! How majestic it is!

"It won't be long before this city is ours! When the time comes, everyone will be able to live in a spacious and sturdy house and wear comfortable and warm clothes! Eat with good food and wine! We're all within reach! What are you waiting for? Come on! ā€

The thunderous words immediately made Shanyue Bing's eyes red, and thinking that he was going to live in that city tower, he immediately carried the ladder and rushed up with a roar.

The Shanyue soldiers knew that their troops were insufficient, so they only attacked the front wall. Looking at these fierce mountain bandits, the soldiers on the city tower couldn't help but panic.

Seeing the panicked appearance of his subordinates, Zhao Hu smiled slightly, walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and looked relaxed.

And Zhao Hu, who served as an officer in the team, was waving his fist to cheer up the soldiers: "What are you panicking about? The other party adds up to only 10,000 people, we have 3,000 people, and there are nearly 20,000 brothers behind us, what is there to be afraid of?

"What are you doing with your shield so high in the front row? The enemy's bow and arrow have not yet been fired! Put it down for me! Prepare the rocks for me in the back, and smash the damn ones as soon as those mountain bandits come forward! And what did the archers do with their bows so early? Do you have enough strength or what? Give me orders!

Remember! No retreat without an order! Death must not retreat! I don't want you bastards to die at the hands of the enemy, but to be cut down by the Overseers behind you! Then I, the chief, will have no face to see people! ā€

Seeing that his supreme commander was relaxed, and the soldiers were not brainless people, thinking that he was twice as numerous as the enemy, and that he was still defending the city, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Of course, because of the threat of the warlord team behind him, the soldiers who were originally panicked began to settle down anyway.

The soldiers in the front row held their shields and watched nervously, while the soldiers in the back either held spears or rocks and waited for the enemy to approach.

The archers in the Shanyue soldiers, when they came to the firing range, immediately stopped pulling their bows and shooting arrows to cover the brothers to build a ladder. Immediately, thousands of wooden arrows rushed towards the tower.

Without Zhao Hu's order, the officer had already shouted: "Raise the shield!" Archers fight back! ā€

Before the shield hand in front of him had time to panic, he immediately reflexively raised his shield high, only to feel the weight of the shield, and immediately gritted his teeth and held on.

Only a few unreactive unfortunate men were killed in the first round of the attack, but their shields were immediately raised by the officers before being handed to the other soldiers.

The soldiers hid behind their shields in twos and threes, and the lucky ones were glad to see the shafts of the arrows that shook and shook on the floor beside them through the gaps, and the unlucky ones clung to the wounded places and screamed.

And the unlucky one is to fall to the ground silently. Of course, it is inevitable that there will be a few brave soldiers who use their weapons to shoot arrows at them.

The archers, after receiving the order, immediately drew their bows and volleyed, but they did not aim, but just buried their heads in the fire. Some nervously shot out a pot of arrows and subconsciously pulled out the arrows, while others felt that their arms hurt and they couldn't pull the bow away after shooting a few arrows.

Anyway, the archers on Zhao Hu's side were embarrassed, and the arrows shot were sparse, and there was no feeling of arrow rain at all. The officer punched and kicked angrily and shouted loudly.
