Chapter 117: The Eagle Folds Its Wings (9)

Just as the armies in front of them had just begun to encircle, the Longguang Gate in the west of Jiankang City was opened again, and after everyone drank a bowl of bulk liquor, the foot soldiers marched out of the city along the drawbridge in a neat line. After them, ox carts were towed and followed, carrying strange large iron rollers.

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, even at the most critical moment at the South Gate, Liu Yu did not transfer them over. Of course, that is also because the city gate was finally held, otherwise he would not be able to do it, and now that the enemy army besieging the city has gradually retreated, he can already rest assured that he can lead the team out of the city.

Inside the gates, the trebuchets that had been fought all night had stopped, and the volunteers were turning them under the command of the sergeants, and although they had carried the ammunition all night, they showed no signs of fatigue. Everyone shouted the trumpet in high spirits, the black rubber wheels at the bottom began to turn, and the huge machine slowly moved along the street.

"Young Eunuch Ye, those trebuchets will be handed over to you, you already know how to use them. Just be careful, when you first start firing the gun, remember to shoot a bullet to determine the distance and then make adjustments. Liu Yu, who was dressed in military uniform, stood on the edge of the city gate, pointed to the trebuchets and said to Ye Yingji behind him.

"Taishou said, Ye should keep it in mind, the soldiers outside the city are in danger, please be more careful. There is also a certain table word 'Yun use', if you don't give up, you might as well call it. Ye Yingji looked at the outside of the city, which was still dark, and there was already a trace of worry in his words, and the joy of getting new things was gone.

Hearing his words, Liu Yu turned around, the Ordnance Supervisor was directly under the control of the Privy Government, Ye Yingji had no affiliation with him, and he didn't have much dealings on weekdays. Unexpectedly, the son of the former prime minister is also a straight person, looking at the technical nerd who is much older than himself, Liu Yu nodded with a smile in his eyes.

"In that case, you can also call Liu 'Ziqing', Brother Yunyong." The two glanced at each other, each smiled "haha", seeing that the foot soldiers were about to finish, Liu Yu didn't say more, raised his hand to say goodbye to him, and quickly caught up with the team in front with his own soldiers.

Ye Yingji walked up to the city tower, and saw that the team had all crossed the suspension bridge on the high platform, and waved his hand and said loudly: "Pull up the suspension bridge and close the city gate!" ”。 When the defenders heard his order, they hurriedly passed it on, and a moment later, with the sound of a "squeak", the thick iron rope was vigorously straightened, and the heavy drawbridge was slowly pulled up.

"Wait!" A woman's shout suddenly sounded under the city, and a horse galloped through the street, and several forbidden soldiers who were about to close the city gate were slightly stunned, and the figure passed through the gap like the wind, rushing all the way through the trench and the sheep and horse wall, and stepped on the suspension bridge that was being raised without stopping, just when Ye Yingji didn't know how to call her, the war horse had already jumped into the air and flew over the moat.

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Ye Yingji waved his hand to signal the defenders to continue to act, and the sound of "clang" when the city gate closed came, and out of sight, the team out of the city had already disappeared into the darkness. And the ride that just got out of the city is gradually moving away, should she be called "Golden Girl" or "Golden Little Lady"? Ye Yingji felt that this problem was very complicated.

"Since you have put on this armor, you are now a sergeant, and the army has its own laws, and no one can disobey them. Leave the post without permission, sneak out of the city, do you know how to deal with it! Noticing that the eyes of the nearby foot soldiers were all glanced, Liu Yu increased his volume, he was indeed a little angry, and finally had an opportunity to put her at the south gate, but he didn't expect to follow her.

The heavily armed little Lori lowered her head and said nothing, pursing her lips and letting him count them, anyway, it was just a look of "I'll do it, what can you do with me". Liu Yu trained for a long time, and his mouth was dry and he felt bored, so he stopped and glared at her fiercely, and now he finally realized how having a rebellious and disobedient child in the family gave parents a headache.

"Well, stay with me, and take them with you." Liu Yu knew that he couldn't drive her back and let the defenders open the city gate again, then it would really be child's play. The pheasant slave breathed a sigh of relief, took his big bow from his horse, and led the horse behind him.

Looking back at the direction of the city, Liu Yu roughly estimated the distance, and his team had basically arrived at the planned location www.biquge.info Biqu Pavilion. Raising his wrist and glancing at the hands, time was running out, and they had important things to do.

"This is it, take the iron roller down, take care to wear gloves, it's not a joke to scratch." Liu Yu stepped on the soil under his feet, the softness and hardness were moderate, and he was just acting, so he stood still and gave a loud order. Several pro-soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and ordered the ox carts to stop, and the volunteers who drove the carts jumped down one after another, put on the labor protection gloves distributed in advance, put down the cart behind the oxen, and pulled the iron roller to the ground.

"Yes, yes, that's it, go around and knock the rod into the ground, a little farther apart between the two rods, and then do so." Liu Yu also put on thick gloves, stepped forward to give demonstrative guidance, and then ordered them to start work quickly.

These things are simple to say, those so-called iron rollers are two long thick wires looped into a coil, on which every short section is knotted with the wire, forming two protruding spikes. These wires are released and then wrapped around one by one and fixed on a pointed angle iron, and then the tip of the angle iron is knocked into the mud, forming a very famous "snake belly barbed wire".

The more than 5,000 people led by Liu Yu will use this line of defense to block the Tartars' reinforcements to the West Gate and ensure the victory of the battle there. Then, this line of defense will also become an obstacle to the enemy's withdrawal, you know, the enemy at the west gate is only half of the enemy with a total of 200,000 troops.

According to the plan, they should have left the city a long time ago, but because the enemy suddenly attacked the south gate, Liu Yu immediately judged that the enemy army did not want to rush to the rescue at night, or they did not realize how urgent the situation at the west gate was, so this operation was postponed until now.

The whole operation is divided into four parts, from each end to the middle, which will greatly save time, even if it is not so standardized, as long as this barbed wire is fixed to the ground, it can cause a great obstacle to the enemy's movement, and this is the actual combat test.

The construction soldiers and volunteers understood their situation very well, and worked quickly and silently, and the pheasant slaves also brought their own soldiers to help. Liu Yu watched them busy behind with his hands, with Li Shiyi's eyes, he was not worried that the tartar would suddenly appear, time passed quickly, the night slowly dispersed, and when a bright light appeared in the sky, the barbed wire in front of him gradually took shape.

At this moment, the chaotic sound of hooves sounded, Liu Yu subconsciously looked ahead, on the other side of the barbed wire, there was no movement in the dark, and Li Shiyi did not send any news. After listening carefully, the voice came from behind, and he turned around, and the pheasant slave and his own soldiers had surrounded him, staring warily at the front.

"At the foot of Bagong Mountain, whoever is coming ahead, report your name!" A personal soldier in front of him shouted, Liu Yu nodded secretly, although it is very likely to be a friendly army, but this is on the battlefield, and the necessary rules must be had.

"All the grass and trees are soldiers! A certain Jiang Cai, too shouke? Hearing the voice, Liu Yu waved his hand to let the soldiers disperse, and rode forward to meet the incoming horses. This is indeed the code of Jiang Cai's cavalry, in order to identify, each part of the city has a different reply, even Li Tingzhi's Huai soldiers are no exception.

Within his sight, the figures of the cavalry gradually became clearer, but he was taken aback, Jiang Cai in front was covered in blood, and he was completely unrecognizable from top to bottom, and the cavalry behind him were all the same, except for one point, everyone's eyes were shining with excitement.

Seeing Liu Yu's appearance, Jiang Cai immediately waved his hand, and the cavalry slowly slowed down until they stopped. Jiang Cai threw off his horse, took a rolled thing from the flag bearer, strode in front of Liu Yu, and handed it over. When Liu Yu took it, his hand sank suddenly, and he almost didn't hold it steady, the wolf head on it was really made of gold, and there were a lot of materials.

"Returning to Taishou, my cavalry, fortunately not disgraced!"

"Good, good, all good." Looking at the bloody man in front of him, and the cavalry behind him, who were obviously less than half of them, Liu Yu stammered for a while. He handed half of the banner to the pheasant slave beside him, stepped forward, and looked at them one by one.

"Go, show everyone to the public, this is the banner of the Tartar handsome Boyan." Before returning to the battle, Liu Yu instructed the pheasant slave that Boyan's life and death were no longer important, and this banner could fully prove the victory of our army.

The pheasant slave took the command and turned away, mounted her horse, and waved the flag at the horse, and shouted and galloped forward along the barbed wire, and the infantrymen and volunteers who were working rose and shouted with great joy.

"It's all hard work, how are the injuries, it's better to go into the city first and let the doctor help the brothers diagnose and treat them." After being happy, Liu Yu turned around and asked with concern, in addition to blood stains on Jiang Cai's body, there was also a half-cut arrow shaft exposed from the armor.

"A little injury, not in the way, Fang just talked to Young Eunuch Ye under the city, Fang knew that Taishou took people out of the city, and there was nothing to do, so he came to listen to it. Taishou can rest assured that he and these brothers only need a little rest, and they will be able to rush into battle and kill the enemy immediately. ”

After Jiang Cai finished speaking, he raised his arm to indicate that he was okay, looking at his indifferent appearance, he didn't know that he thought it was makeup for a costume film. Liu Yu nodded, and then asked about the situation of the battle at the West Gate, and couldn't help but sigh when he heard the tragedy, there is no way, the strong army is all fought, after this battle, Liu Yu believes that these people who survived in front of him will no longer have any fear of the Tartars.
