Collision (5)

As soon as the sky was bright, Wang Xiushi was woken up by the shouting outside. Recently, his sleep has not been very stable, and he is always worried that his subordinates will take advantage of his lack of vigilance to dedicate Jiankang City to Chen Thief, making him bear the infamy of a chaotic minister and thief for no reason. In Wang Xiushi's eyes, how long Jiankang City can hold under the attack of the Broken Army, whether it can hold on until the arrival of reinforcements, or even whether it can hold it is not a big deal. Even if the city is broken and killed one day, it will not damage the reputation of his king. But if he was wrapped up by the soldiers below and surrendered without a fight, and became a prisoner in a daze, it would be a big violation of the way of loyalty, and even if he was under the Nine Springs, he would not have the face to meet those legendary ancient sages.

As for whether the loyalty advocated by the ancient sages is the same thing as the loyalty of science taught by his teacher, with Wang Xiushi's mind and ability, he can't tell clearly, and he doesn't want to argue. The sage's statement was originally very vague, if Wang Xiushi could really understand the sage's subtle words, it is estimated that Kublai Khan would have been cut down a long time ago, and he would not have had the opportunity to be a member of the party.

Of course, in the case of hope, Wang Xiushi also expects Lu Shikui to come in time. After all, there are only two small groups of southern rebels attacking the city, and if Lu Shikui can come in a hurry, the combination of inside and outside may not be able to solve the dilemma of Jiankang.

"Come on, let's see who's making a big noise!" Wang Xiushi asked loudly while getting dressed under the service of his concubine.

Someone hurriedly ran forward and gave a timely response through the door curtain, "Lord Yu, a large army of thieves was found outside the Shuixi Gate, and the people were cutting reeds and digging rivers. The brothers didn't know what to do, so they came to ask for advice! ”

"Digging a river?" Wang Xiushi was so frightened that he pushed the concubine away and jumped up, "Whose banner, how many people?" ”

"According to the brothers, it is the banner of vegetable oil plums, and it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of people, most of whom are people in the vicinity!" The generals outside had a fairly clear mind, and described the enemy situation in a few sentences.

Wang Xiushi took a few steps back and sat down on the chair. The reason why he had hope for defending the city was because the two major waterways of Xuanwu Lake and Qinhuai Water had been silted up for many years, and they could not carry large boats. And as long as the battleships of the Broken Army and Navy Division could not approach Jiankang City, the naval guns that opened the mountains and cracked rocks could not pose a threat to the city walls. With the limited artillery and troops in his hands, Chen Hangyan could not break through the city in a short time. But now Chen Hangyan actually mobilized the people to dig the river, which is stupid, but it is indeed a bit surprising that it is to the point.

"My lord, my lord, how to deal with it, please let me know!" The generals outside the door couldn't hear the reaction in the room for a long time, and they were a little anxious, urging regardless of etiquette.

Hearing the voice of his subordinates, Wang Xiushi somewhat recovered from the shock, and ordered in a loud voice: "Pass on the commander's order, let General Cui take 5,000 men and horses out of the city gate and drive Li Caiyou away." There are people who help the rebellious army, and there is no mercy for killing! ”

"Yes!" The person who came said yes and took the order to leave. As soon as he turned around, he heard Wang Xiushi instruct in the house: "Wait, first see clearly on the city wall, whether the enemy army is in ambush!" ”

"Yes, Lord Xie reminds!" The general thanked him and turned to go. Wang Xiushi looked in the mirror, rubbed his pale face, and walked to the front hall with strong spirits.

"My lord, someone outside the east gate fired crossbow arrows inward, and many rumors were written to slander your lord!" A soldier ran in, his hands presented with a roll of white cloth.

Only a traitor would have such a luxury and use such a fine white cloth as paper. "These corrupt sons who have destroyed heaven and things will be punished sooner or later." Wang Xiushi scolded a few words angrily, took the white cloth, shook it open and took a closer look, only to see that it was full of rumors and incitement written on it in thin fly-headed small letters.

The writer must be a local, and in order to attract the attention of the small people in the market, he deliberately mixed a lot of Jiankang dialects between the lines. Wang Xiushi didn't understand some of the market slang, but he could probably tell that this was a proclamation shot by the Breaker Army to the soldiers and civilians in the city, telling everyone that the Breaker Army had strict military discipline, and the purpose was only to expel the Northern Yuan Dynasty and save the people from fire and water. It will not kill and loot like the Yuan army broke the city, please don't be afraid, and don't give any support to the defenders.

This is too much, there is a kind of don't take advantage of your tongue, Wang Xiushi forgot who spread the rumors first, pinched the white cloth with his fingers, and gritted his teeth and asked: "How many shots have been shot, who have you seen picked?"

"The subordinates don't know, the subordinates got this from a patrol team!" The pro-soldier replied very honestly, and at the end, he couldn't wait to add, "My subordinates only heard that it was full of rumors, and I haven't opened it myself, and I don't know how to read!" ”

Wang Xiushi's emergency ability and eloquence are not very good, and he can mix in such a high position, all because of his master's reputation in the court. After taking office, he also met some scholars who were conceited and outstanding in writing and opposed Xu Menli everywhere. For these people who talk nonsense, Wang Xiushi's way to deal with it is to refer to the precedent of "Confucius killed Shao Zhengmao", and eliminate the other party from ** to the text. The soldiers below knew that adults had such a habit, so they didn't know how to read and write, and they didn't have the brains to become the only way for them to protect their lives.

Probably because he felt that killing people at this moment would not work, for the first time, Wang Xiushi did not order all those who had touched the cloth strips, or collected and spread the cloth strips, to arrest and behead them, sighed, and ordered: "Order the East Gate to be strictly guarded, in case of the enemy's treacherous scheme!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers wiped the sweat from their heads and ran quickly to give the order. Wang Xiushi thought about the two things that happened this morning, calculated the strength of the city defense in his heart, beckoned a few cronies, and ordered: "You go to the West Gate with the governor, and Li Dare is blatantly digging a river under our noses, I'm afraid you are playing some conspiracy!" ”

"Yes, my lord is wise!" The cronies agreed and went down to prepare their horses. A moment later, Wang Xiushi took all the senior generals in the city, as well as some civilian staff, to the west city wall. Looking down at the battlements, I saw that the smoke pillar on the river was one in the east and one in the west, and the Qianhu Cui Yannian, who was ordered to attack, and the legendary enemy army were gone.

"What about people, why are they gone!" Wang Xiushi nodded and called a sign guarding the city and asked.

"Your Excellency, you will inherit the blessings of your lordship. General Choi attacked with fire and defeated the enemy army. General Cui went to pursue along the coast and has not returned yet! The head of the sign replied loudly and loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of firecrackers like popping beans in the distance. Then, the sound of horns and shouts of killing rang out, and before the people in the city could figure out what was going on, they saw Cui Yannian with more than a thousand remnants, running along the river bank, one foot deep, one foot and one shallow foot. Behind them, more than 50 soldiers of the Broken Army, armed with snow-bright knives, chased after them like ducks.

"Bastard, you're embarrassed to come back. Come on, beat the drum for Bento! Wang Xiushi scolded angrily. If the enemy army has more than half of its own soldiers, there are also people who dare to come forward to beg for Cui Yannian. But at this moment, the ratio of friend to enemy is clearly a pair of thirty, or even forty, and the other generals standing on the city wall also feel angry, and accuse Cui Yannian of not coming.

Cui Yannian, who had lost the battle, heard the war drums and knew that he would not be able to return to the city easily, so he had no choice but to gather the remnants of the soldiers and line up in formation, and turned around to meet the enemy. Seeing that the Yuan soldiers turned around to meet the battle, the more than 50 Pu swordsmen of the broken army hurriedly lined up the team into a triangle, with a big man as the sharp knife, and the others made the blades and blades, shouting and stepping towards the main formation of the Yuan army.

"Left wing, all rush!" Cui Yannian ordered loudly. More than 600 Northern Yuan soldiers standing on the left flank saw that there were many people in their own families, and they were bold, shouting and rushing towards the "tip of the knife" of the Broken Army, and the first wave of attack teams instantly came into contact with the knife formation of the Broken Army, and after a burst of shouts and killing, the situation slowly became clear. The sword formation of the Broken Army was "thinner", but the Yuan army of several hundred people was poked out of countless holes, and the remnants of the soldiers cried and fled in all directions.

"Beat the drums, beat the drums hard!" Wang Xiushi was so angry, he really couldn't believe the facts in front of him, and he couldn't believe that a team of thousands of people couldn't drown a small group of broken troops.

Cui Yannian heard the sound of the drum and killed all the remnants of the soldiers in his hands. Everyone was counting on killing these dozens of captives, saving Lord Wang's face, and perhaps having a chance to retreat to the city before the enemy army arrived. As a result, the morale of those who had fallen to the extreme had risen somewhat, and although some people stumbled and ran closer to the end of the line, at least no one turned around and ran for their lives.

Seeing that the small group of broken sergeants was about to be swallowed by the waves, another group of people came out of the riverbank. More than 3,000 civilian soldiers armed with various weapons, and two teams of soldiers in bright armor rushed to the city. Seeing that his companions were in trouble, the leading sergeant quickly drew the formation into a diagonal line, wedged with the riverside, and then squatted in one row and stood in two rows.

"Ping!" Without waiting for the Yuan army to make adjustments, the musketeers of the Broken Army pulled the bolt at the same time, and the flint wheel turned, igniting the gunpowder, and a row of white and shiny bullets splashed out.

The Yuan soldiers on both wings fell like rice beaten by hailstones. The rest saw that the situation was not good, so they turned around and ran.

The threat on both sides was lifted, and the sudden breakthrough army Pu Daoshou immediately changed formation, and the team changed from a sharp knife type to a semi-arc type, enclosing as many Yuan troops as possible against him.

The blades intersected, and they were forcibly recruited by Wang Xiushi, and the soldiers who had not undergone much training became meat targets, and were ravaged by dozens of steel knives. As the leading general, Cui Yannian did not dare to save him, and ran desperately to the city gate with a few cronies.

"Shoot me!" Wang Xiushi ordered frantically.

Hundreds of archers jumped out of the city walls, shooting their arrows down without distinction between friend and foe. The Northern Yuan soldiers who fled for their lives were overwhelmed, and fell into a large area, and the rest turned around and faced the broken army.

Li Caiyou commanded his subordinates to come closer, and the team of Pu Daomen who broke the captives retreated to their own position. The crossbowmen and musketeers of the Broken Army who fell in the back row cooperated with each other, and soon overturned all the Beiyuan soldiers who rushed over and fought desperately on the muddy ground.

Outside the city gate, the palm-sized river beach became the Shura Hell. The Yuan army of the six gods and no owner was driven by the feather arrows of both sides, rushing towards the broken army for a while, fleeing to the city for a while, and after wandering for a few times, there was no one left who could stand, only a broken flag that had been shot through countless holes, and it was inserted on the bank of the river alone, complaining to the bright red river of blood about the misfortune of life.

"I have commanded that if the enemy comes near the wall, no, whoever comes near the wall, will shoot back with arrows. Whoever spreads rumors will be killed on the spot! Wang Xiushi pale and ordered with a cruel smile.

"Yes, sir!" On the city walls, the disgruntled soldiers had to respond.

"I'm doing it for their good, too!" Wang Xiushi's eyes swept around a few times, and he pointed to the body that had died unjustly under the city wall and said.

The soldiers dared not speak in anger, and turned their heads to the sides. Wang Xiushi knew that he was angry, and he didn't explain more. called a few descendants, ordered them to take turns to supervise the battle, not to slack off, and then rushed to the east gate with his henchmen.

"My lord, what about the enemy army outside the West Gate?" A general forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and reminded.

"Let them burn and dig up. Within half a month, the river could not be dredged. Chen Thief hangs his eyes, this is to play with the governor to hit the west, no, the sound of the west hit the east. There is such a little thief army outside the West Gate, and it can't become the climate. We still have to defend the east, that is the main force of the Chen thief! Wang Xiushi pretended to be hypocritical and said, "The soldier is cloudy, the virtual is real, the real is virtual, the virtual is virtual, the virtual is real, the virtual is the real, the virtual is the real, the virtual is the ......real, the virtual is the

It seems that Wang Dacai is really right, there are obviously more broken troops outside the east city gate than outside the west city, although the current attack is only to fire cloth strips into the city, but there are careful defenders have found that the people of the brigade are carrying burdens and piling up soil outside the range of feather arrows under the command of several small colonels of the broken army. And Chen Hangyan himself was next to the mound that had just emerged, pointing fingers at what was mobilizing.

"Why don't you shoot, come on, shoot him for Ben Shuai!" Wang Xiushi stood at the head of the city, pointed at Chen Hangyan and shouted. Fang had just lost his prestige in Xicheng, and now, he wanted to get it back from Dongcheng.

"Your Excellency, the southeast wind is urgent, the enemy will be two miles away, and the crossbow can not be hit!" The general in charge of guarding the eastern city wall rushed over and couldn't wait to explain. Theoretically, the range of the bed crossbow could reach the position where Chen Hangyan stood, but after flying such a distance, the crossbow arrow could no longer penetrate a single white cloth. For a skilled military general like Chen Hangyan, a strong crossbow that is already at the end of the power cannot pose a threat at all.

"Then why don't you shoot them, they gossip to confuse the crowd!" Wang Xiushi was stunned, feeling that his face was damaged, and pointed to the soldiers of the Broken Army who were driving the bed crossbow and sending the text to the city and asked.

"My lord, they have shield cars around them to protect them, and they shot in vain!" The guard pointed to the huge shield with a high door not far under the city wall. The shield used to protect the siege soldiers was made of hardwood, covered with iron on the surface and inlaid with wheels underneath. With them, the ballista on the city walls can hardly pose a threat to the soldiers from afar. Another point, which the defenders did not dare to say, was that there were very few crossbow arrows left in the stockpile, and if they were wasted in the process of firing meaningless bed crossbows at each other, once the enemy attacked the city, the defenders would not be able to get any long-range weapon support.

"Won't you think of a way, otherwise, what is the use of this governor raising you!" Wang Xiushi touched two soft nails in a row, but he was angry and reprimanded loudly. (Please go to 17k to support genuine guidebook)

"My lord, please forgive my subordinates for their incompetence!" The junior colonel guarding the city took a few steps back and bowed.

"Rubbish!" Wang Xiushi scolded and scolded a few words, feeling that it was not interesting. Stopped, and talked to the staff on the left and right about the building being built in the distance by the Breakers. Because there were so many people who came to help, the pace of construction there was so fast that the mound was growing taller almost at a rate visible to the naked eye.

"What is this, and which of you have seen it?" Wang Xiushi asked, pointing to the mound.

"I don't know!" Several generals replied in unison. Today's events are strange from the inside out. According to common sense, Chen Hangyan gave up the undefended territory of the two Zhejiang provinces not to occupy it, and put aside the stability of the merit and ran to Jiankang for a long time, which is a bit crazy in itself. Knowing that several reinforcement troops near Jiankang might arrive at any time, and Marshal Lu Shikui might even copy the back road of the broken army, Chen Hangyan did not fight quickly, but instead played the business of digging waterways and repairing mounds, wouldn't he be stupid by the sun.

As a military general, everyone knows that Chen Hangyan is a bit stupid to do this. But as an opponent, the generals under Wang Xiushi refused to believe that their opponent was a fool who did not know the art of war. (Please go to 17k to support genuine guidebook)

"What about you, you know?" Wang Xiushi turned his attention to a few ordinary poetry and singing and harmonizing clerical jobs. The sun was a little high, and he felt a little hungry after the tension was relieved. Since Chen Hangyan has to grind slowly, Wang Xiushi also feels more down-to-earth in his heart, at least he doesn't have to worry about the enemy army coming into the city today. (Please go to 17k to support genuine guidebook)

"According to the opinion of his subordinates, the thief Chen is raising the altar!" A staff member who was usually involved in the doctrines of yin and yang and the five elements arched his hand and said. Just now at the West Gate, after witnessing the strong combat effectiveness of the Broken Army, these civilians felt a little afraid. Some people even persuaded Wang Xiushi to abandon the city first and avoid the attention of Chen Hangyan Fengying. But at this moment, they saw Chen Hangyan busy directing people to pile up dirt bags, which prompted them to give up their previous thoughts. (Please go to 17k to support genuine guidebook)

Most of the staff thought that with the momentum of a complete victory outside the city, Chen Hangyan attacked the city with all his might, and the defenders might not be able to resist it. But at this time, Chen Hangyan was not doing his job, starting a mound in the east and digging half a river in the west, which really did not look like an experienced general. Therefore, the confidence in defending the city is a little more gratuitous.

There are also people who are smart, guessing Chen Hangyan's strange approach, and said to Wang Xiushi: "According to the humble opinion, Chen Hangyan knows that I have built a Kangcheng high pool and a thick pool, and the army and the people are determined to become a city, so I want to win by the side door." It is rumored in the market that the rise of literary thieves in the midst of defeat is based on a few books of demon law. Fang just ...... outside the Shuixi Gate"

"Ahh Many people suddenly realized. Outside the west gate, hundreds of soldiers of the Broken Army took out an iron cylinder, and then the green smoke rose wildly, and the defenders fell in pieces with the sound of "ping pong". This kind of weird thing is not found in the ancient sages and sages, it is not witchcraft, what else can it be?
