956 siege the city, greet without a word
The three cities in Jiangnan have been in chaos recently, although Jing Yan did not do anything to disturb the people, and even tried his best to maintain peace on the surface of Jiangnan, but the change of regime and the fact that the rich were copied could not be hidden, and ordinary people had already smelled danger from it.
During this time, the people in Jiangnan reduced their going out, desperately stocked up on food at home, and guarded the door one by one, for fear that something would happen.
But some things can not be avoided by being afraid, and no matter how worried the people of Jiangnan are, what should have happened still happened.
That night, the common people went to bed early as usual, but in the middle of the night they were awakened by the sound of war drums......
"What's wrong? What's wrong? The awakened people did not even bother to put on their clothes, so they put on their coats and ran out.
"Oh no, no, there's going to be a war." The beating of war drums outside the city woke up many people and frightened many people into tears.
"Wow, wow, wow......" The screams of women, the frightened voices of men, and the cries of children are intertwined, and the people who have already turned off the lights get up one by one to light the lights, and some bold men still run out to ask what happened?
"There is a war, there is a war, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have come." The streets and alleys, which had been quiet due to the curfew, were in an instant uproar, and young and bold thugs were drilling around the alleys, spreading frightening remarks.
"Run, run, war, war!"
"The soldiers and horses of the imperial court are coming, everyone run!"
"Catch the thief, catch the thief......"
……
Some thugs shouted along the streets, spreading "rumors" of the war along the way. It is a rumor because they themselves don't know what is going on, and the reason why they shout everywhere is just to scare ordinary people and then jump into the house to steal things while people are running away.
So, before the battle outside the city started, there was chaos in the city, Jing Yan had long expected that there would be this possibility, but he didn't do anything, let Jiangnan riot, and only let people guard Jingyuan, so as not to let people take the opportunity to collide with Gu Qiancheng.
Qin Lianyan led the troops to the city gate, Jing Yan received the news, and waited for him at the city gate as soon as possible, seeing Qin Lianyan who came back with 100,000 soldiers and horses, the smile on Jing Yan's face became more and more indifferent.
The day has finally come!
After this battle, he knew the gap between him and Great Qin, and he knew how long it would take for him to lead his troops to break through Great Qin.
"His Royal Highness, I haven't seen you for a long time." Jing Yan stood on the city wall, surrounded by soldiers holding torches, the jumping flames flashed on his face, the firelight flashed on his face, the smile on his face was as warm as jade, and there was no murderous aura; In the dimming of the fire, he was like a devil hidden in the dark, unable to see his expression clearly, but he could feel his murderous aura.
Qin Shiyan was in front of him, and behind him was an army of 100,000, there were not many torches in the army, although he could barely illuminate it, he couldn't illuminate Qin Shiyan's face, at least Jing Yan, who was standing on the city wall, couldn't see anything, he could only barely see Qin Shiyan's figure.
"Master Jingzhuang is not harmed?" Qin Xiaoyan replied, his tone was cold, but his attitude could be called friendly.
One was on the city wall, and the other was outside the city, and the two were very far apart, and they did not speak loudly, but everyone present could hear them.
"The owner of this village is very good, but His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, you were not lightly injured before, I don't know if the injury is healed?" Ten days of hard work is enough for Qin Xiaoyan to recuperate from his injuries, but the premise is that Qin Xiaoyan does not run around.
"Thank you Lord Jing Zhuang for your concern, this palace is just a skin injury, and it is not as good as Lord Jing Zhuang for your broken muscles and bones." Jing Yan deliberately mentioned Qin Xiaoyan's injury, not really caring about him, but just suing the people on both sides, don't look at Qin Xiaoyan as if he was fine, he was actually injured, and he was injured by him.
Doing so can not only hit the morale of Qin Xiaoyan's side, but also boost the morale of his own side. Qin Xiaoyan knew his intentions, how could he do what he wanted.
"I really don't have to lose anything." Jing Yan saw that Qin Xiaoyan did not back down at all, and knew that Qin Xiaoyan was afraid that he would be ruthless this time.
Thinking about it, if Qin Shiyan wasn't angry, how could he attack overnight?
Coming overnight, Qin Xiaoyan's army was also tired, although the war at this time could catch him off guard, it was not a wise choice, after all, he knew in advance that there was a battle, and he had already prepared for it, and no matter how chaotic it was at this time, it would not be chaotic.
Qin Xiaoyan had no idle feelings and Jing Yan's "gossip", and when Tang Yong sent the news that he was ready, Qin Xiaoyan didn't say a word and ordered an attack.
"Siege!"
As soon as Qin Xiaoyan gave an order, Tang Yong immediately rushed forward with 20,000 vanguards, and Feng Yuqian and another general attacked from both flanks to cover Tang Yong......
"Rush!" Tang Yong raised his broadsword, took the lead, and charged ahead......
The firelight flashed across his face, and Jing Yan saw the strange and familiar face, and smiled silently, "Hussar General? The general sent by the emperor finally charged forward for Qin Xiaoyan, I wonder how happy the emperor would be to know about this? ”
Jing Yan seemed to be able to see the picture of Qin Xiaoyan and the old emperor fighting infighting, but it was a pity...... He couldn't see it with his own eyes.
Compared with the siege, the defenders of the city had the advantage of geographical advantage, and in the face of the fierce attack launched by Qin Shiyan, Jing Yan took a step back without hurrying, "Release the arrow!" ”
"Whoosh ......" crossbow arrows with thick arms shot down from the city wall, not dense, but the lethality is huge, an arrow can pass through five or six people at the same time, the small soldiers who were shot by the crossbow arrows, under the huge impact, fell directly backwards, no one can stand firm,
"Actually put the siege crossbow on the city wall, what a big deal." Feng Yuqian knew at a glance that the weapon that Jing Yan used to defend the city was the crossbow cart they used to attack the city, and a crossbow like this was not easy to make, and the loss was extremely large, so it would only be equipped by the army stationed on the border.
This time, Feng Yuqian also brought dozens of ballistas, but they were not as lethal as the ballistas that Jing Yan was using now.
Feng Yuqian thought at first that the old emperor guarded against their Feng family and did not match the best weapons to the border cities of Northern Qi, but later heard Qin Xiaoyan say that he realized that these crossbow cars were made by Jing Yan, and their lethality was more than three times stronger than the ballista used by the imperial court, and they were not easy to wear and tear, easy to carry, and it was simply a necessary weapon for leading troops to fight and attacking and defending the city!
And Jing Yanzhi was able to create such a well-grained weapon because his maternal ancestor was a member of the Mo family, a Mo family who was proficient in mechanical techniques!
Even if Jing Yan only learned one fur, it would be more than enough to improve the ballista.
Qin Xiaoyan has the brave and good Feng family army in his hands, and Jing Yan has a powerful weapon in his hand, and the two sides are almost the same in terms of strength.
In the siege battle that night, although Qin Shiyan's people did not break the city, they climbed the city wall, if it wasn't for Jing Yan's use of fire oil in the end, the result might have been ......
Qin Xiaoyan didn't want to make a senseless sacrifice, and seeing that Jing Yan ordered someone to dump the oil, Qin Yanyan immediately ordered the troops to retreat.
Tang Yong and his party were about to climb the city wall when they saw it, but they fell short at the moment, not to mention how depressed they were, but they also knew that Qin Xiaoyan called the retreat at this moment for their own good, otherwise if the other party was a little hot, they would only be sent to death.
Retire!
The vanguard troops led by Tang Yong immediately retreated without saying a word, and did not stay for half a moment, and as soon as they withdrew to safety, Qin Shiyan gave the order......
A word to readers: When I got home, I found that I actually clicked the timer, and I didn't update it, which was shameless. I'm just stupid today!
The next update is only starting to be written now, it will be a little later, so don't wait......
