Chapter 343: You want to catch up with the old days, I'm going to shoot
Looking at Kaiyuan City in front of him, Yue Tuo's heart could be described as mixed. Not long ago, it was here, that I lost my troops and was deeply trapped in it. Since he took charge of the red flag, it can be said that it is an unprecedented defeat. Standing here today, no matter how many defenders there are in this city, no matter how hard the hard bones of this captive army are, he Yue Tuo will regain his dignity in this humiliating place.
This expedition to Yue Tuo also took a lot of effort to get the position of the vanguard, and behind him stood his personal guards Bayan Gaole, Meler Ezhen Adai, Jiala Ezhen Mandu, and 3,000 soldiers with red flags. And because Guan Bao previously sacrificed his life to protect the Lord, he is now also promoted to Jia Lae Zhen. However, because he was too seriously injured and was recuperating in Tielingwei at the moment, he could not follow.
The general Li Shutai was also impressively listed, but his face was so black that ink could drip down. Since he escaped from Kaiyuan City with his people, he went straight to Gu'an Fort according to the plan. But he didn't know that this defeat was just the beginning, and Li Shutai, who had just arrived at Gu'an Fort, was pressed to the ground and hit fifty boards heavily by Ah Dai, who was in a fit of rage, on the grounds of defeat! If it weren't for the face of his father Li Yongfang, Ah Dai would definitely beat him to death!
But the nightmare didn't end there, the ass blossomed, and Li Shutai had to meet Ah Dai's abuse and punches and kicks all the time. Everyone knows that Adai died deliberately for the battle of Yaleha, and Yaleha died of defeat because of his own incompetence, so why should he blame him for Li Shutai's head? But no one dared to say the truth, just like that, Li Shutai spent countless days and nights in Adai's consecutive kicks and beatings, and it was not until today that he finally got relief!
As a proud Li Shutai, this kind of insult is absolutely unbearable for him! But he had to grovel to live, and his dreams would never be allowed to be stifled now! Li Shutai, who had murderous intent in his eyes, looked at Ah Dai standing in front of him, and couldn't help clenching his fists tightly, he decided to vent all his anger on the Kaiyuan City in front of him first. And this account will be written down for the time being, and in the future, it will be recovered with interest!
When Yue Tuo arrived, he did not immediately order the siege, because as the vanguard force, he did not carry siege equipment, so he could only let others block the four gates. And he took his personal guard Bayan Gaole to stay at the east gate of Kaiyuan City and wait for Chen Junde's arrival, these days Yue Tuo tosses and turns every day to see the executioner who looks extremely gentle on the surface, but is extremely vicious in his heart. He wanted to see Chen Junde's remorseful expression, as well as his suddenly frightened face! Little by little, he wants to destroy his will, killing all the brothers in his mouth one by one, just as he did with himself!
Chen Junde, who walked quickly to the east gate of the city, hurriedly looked down, panting and then looked at each other, and the heads of the two armies flickered like lightning, so that the people around them did not dare to open their eyes and look directly. Looking at this majestic Yue Tuo, Chen Junde's face was really a little regretful. This made Yue Tuo, who could see clearly under the city, very proud, and couldn't wait to look up to the sky and laugh to express his feelings.
But what Chen Junde thought of at this time was his brother Feng Tianyu, who used Feng Tianyu, who was reluctant to speak all day long and hid in the house to play with dogs, for a battlefield warrior, and he really suffered a big loss in this business! But the wood is already in the boat, and Chen Junde, who is angry, really wants to bring Feng Tianyu, who is hugging the dog, to the city gate, to see if he blushes or not! Are you embarrassed to sigh every day and live an enterprising life?
Chen Junde, who shook his head, looked carefully at the sergeant behind Yue Tuo, and calculated a little in his heart. If this Yue Tuo has no backup behind him, with his more than 1,000 people, he has to go out of the city with the captives and capture him alive again! But at the moment, he can't go out of the city and take this risk, if he is glued by his Yuetuo, his city will be broken by the follow-up Jiannu immediately! Such a battle is really embarrassing, and Chen Junde, who has always advocated attacking, can't help but feel depressed in his heart.
Just when Chen Junde was glaring at Yue Tuo on the city wall, Wu Xiongwei said with a worried expression: "My lord, this is just their vanguard, but there is nothing to worry about. Although Kaiyuan City is not a fortified city, it is not something that he Yue Tuo can ride a horse to. What we should be worried about now is their follow-up troops, and the latecomers must have siege equipment! The city defense facilities we arranged before, except for the cannons, were all destroyed by that damn Zhu Wanliang! And the people we trained to help defend the city were all taken away! At present, there are only more than 5,000 captives left in the entire Kaiyuan City, and there are less than 2,000 prisoners. In addition, there are more than 600 abandoned sons of Zhu Wanliang, and 8,000 soldiers are counted to defend Kaiyuan City"!
This number is not small from the number of people calculated by Chen Junde and everyone before, and the number of people who can fight is less than 2,000 people who can fight when they are full, and because of Zhu Wanliang's sudden intervention, the training of recruits is also insufficient, so the recruits still need veterans to lead. And those captives are okay to fight with the wind, if it comes to a critical moment, they will be the first to flee for their lives! In addition, with the assistance of more than 4,000 people at this time, the number of Jiannu can barely cope with about 10,000, if it exceeds this number, he will definitely not be able to hold on!
Chen Junde looked helplessly at the prisoners who were busy arranging the city defense facilities under the supervision of the captive army, and brought ammunition one after another, as well as bows and arrows, door panels, and house beams. But there is no other way now, and the tung oil, stones, and rolling wood prepared before have disappeared forever in Kaiyuan City with Zhu Wanliang's departure. Chen Junde knew that now was not the time for him to complain, if he didn't come up with a good way to break the enemy as soon as possible, he would all have to die here. And it is meaningless to die, this kind of death has no proof of a good opportunity, Zhu Wanliang is going to make a big fuss! Looking around at the people with a dejected face, Chen Junde hurriedly cheered everyone up: "Are you stupid?" Just these few people are not enough for us to kill the captive army to eat! Who is that, Liu Mazi, you kid hurry up and come over to me, and immediately take your people to shoot at me under the city wall! is the so-called first to seize people, if you can kill a few, count a few, show him the momentum of our killing army"!
As soon as Chen Junde's words fell, Wu Xiongwei said with a slightly ugly face: "My lord, this is normally said now, you have to scold Jiannu, and after they attack, we will fight back." After all, we are passively defending, and if Jiannu continues to attack the city, our soldiers will definitely be exhausted. Save ammunition and conserve strength at this time, so that you can fight it for a long time later"!
Chen Junde said very hurriedly: "Anyway, the artillery on our side is almost ready, and their follow-up troops can faintly see the shadow." It seems that we haven't tried these cannons since we got them, and today I took them out to see and listen to the sound, and it can be regarded as a strong momentum!"
In fact, Chen Junde also has his own considerations for doing this, but there are many things that he can't say clearly in front of the soldiers. It is simply not feasible to fight a protracted war in this battle, and with the food in his hands now, these people in the killing army can survive for ten days at most if they save money and eat. When the food is eaten up, even if Da Luo Jin Immortal descends to earth, it will be useless, and the situation of the city is a certainty! Moreover, the purpose of fighting a protracted war is to wait for reinforcements, and with Zhu Wanliang obstructing it in the middle, there will definitely be no reinforcements to help the captive army.
Moreover, according to Chen Junde's previous battle plan to the imperial court, within ten days of Jiannu coming to attack the original city, the other armies in Liaodong will definitely make Jiannu anxious, and his teacher Xiong Tingbi will definitely be able to successfully hit the city of Hetuala! Killing Chen Junde didn't believe that he Zhu Wanliang had the ability to use troops in the imperial court, if he had this ability, he wouldn't have to deal with himself so hard. And he can't show weakness, for Yue Tuo, an old opponent who knows him quite well, if he changes his strategy a little, he will definitely be suspicious. Fighting a war is actually true and false, false and real, only if he fights as crazy as before, he will attack cautiously, and the pressure on himself to defend the city will be less.
Seeing Chen Junde on the city wall talking to the people around him, Yue Tuo didn't feel anything strange, maybe he was frightened and discussed with his subordinates how to defend! Seeing his enemy's obviously sad face, Yue Tuo, who was very happy in his heart, raised his head slightly and shouted: "Chen Junde, let's meet again!" Don't you want to say something when you meet people?"
Chen Junde looked at the people with torches who were already standing next to the cannon at the battlement, turned around and shouted with a smile: "Haha, of course this has to be said, but Yue Tuo, in fact, the most important thing to say at this time is to open fire"!
In the entire Kaiyuan City, those who can tinker with cannons can only be found among the captives, and Han Shicheng, who has been following Liu Mazi, is a middle master. With Chen Junde's loud roar, Han Shicheng, who was already ready, took his trained gunners to light the fuse at the same time, and the burning time that was not long became extraordinarily long in the anxious waiting of everyone.
At the same time as Chen Junde's sudden roar, Yue Tuo's eyes were about to stare out with the swarthy muzzle, and he hurriedly turned his horse's head and shouted: "Hurry up for me, rush up"!
The "booming" cannon sound shook Chen Junde's ears, which was not far away, and the smoke also choked Chen Junde's cough. After the white smoke was blown away by the wind, Chen Junde, who was quite expecting the lethality, hurriedly looked at the city.
"Liu Mazi, you get over for me right away! I let you take care of these precious cannons, why didn't we hit the first shot of the captive army?"
Looking at Chen Junde, whose hair was about to stand on end in front of him, Liu Mazi replied tremblingly: "My lord, don't you just want to listen to the sound and make a strong voice, this purpose has been achieved!" It's all to blame for the end of the general for not making it clear to you that these Jiannu are too close, and our cannon can't hit them in the first place!"
Chen Junde looked at the black shell traces nearly 800 meters away from him, and scolded with an unwilling face: "What the hell is this"!
