Chapter 262: The Siege of the City
Zhao Qian is one of the leaders of Zhao Qi's private army, some time ago, together with Zhao Dong, participated in the siege of the Yan army, that day in the middle of the night of the war, although the opponent was almost wiped out, but the final result was the defeat of the Zhao army, and let Zhao Qian leave the deepest image is in a force on the battlefield, invincible Tsing Yi soldiers, if not too few people, that battle, they will not have any chance at all.
After retreating from Jing'an, he crossed the Yishui River in a panic and returned to the city, Zhao Qian had a feeling of the rest of his life, and he had a strong city to rely on, but his heart was a lot more stable.
Compared with those comrades-in-arms who died on the battlefield, Zhao Qian, who felt a little lucky, couldn't help but eat more fish and meat in the past few days, plus the weather was humid, and he needed to strengthen the city wall during the day, he slept a little at night, and he caught a cold before he knew it, and he had a headache and brain fever, but his stomach really annoyed him, and he had to get up several times at night, and he could sleep peacefully there.
Today is like this again, the stomach thundered several times, but Zhao Qian really didn't want to get up, the lightning and thunder outside, the heavy rain was like a note, from the sleeping place to the latrine, there was no place to shelter the wind and rain, even if you brought rain gear, you would inevitably be drenched when you came back.
I gritted my teeth and held on for a while, the ringing in my stomach became more intense, I really couldn't help it, and if I endured it any longer, maybe I would have to pull it in my pants, not to mention the embarrassment, and I would have to be ridiculed by my brothers. got up from the ground, grabbed a hat indiscriminately, opened the door, and Zhao Qian rushed out.
There was a chaotic sound, and Zhao Qian let out a sigh of relief. Lift your pants, push open the latrine, put on the hat, hum a small tune, and plunge headlong into the wind and rain.
A lightning bolt in the air swept through the sky in this instant, illuminating the entire city as bright as day, Zhao Qian, who was running, raised his head and glanced at the huge white scar in the sky, so scary! The eyelids fell, and I inadvertently glanced under the city wall, and in an instant, the pores of the whole body exploded, and the enemy, the dense enemy was rushing towards the whole city.
The lightning disappeared, and there was a sudden darkness in front of him, and a thunder that resounded through the world sounded in his ears, Zhao Qian didn't feel it, at this moment, his own head was also the sound of thunder.
The enemy is coming!
The footsteps stopped suddenly, but the upper body was still moving forward because of inertia, and he stumbled and almost fell. Struggling to stabilize his body, Zhao Qian took a deep breath and opened his mouth, ready to warn his comrades in the city.
A breath just inhaled, his neck tightened, and a powerful arm wrapped around his neck like an iron hoop, Zhao Qian's eyes suddenly protruded, and he grabbed the arm that made him unable to breathe at all, but under a pull, he didn't move at all, and a burst of dizziness came from his head, his legs kicked the ground, and the flank suddenly cooled, Zhao Qian only felt that the strength of his whole body was in this moment, and it was like a flood there, and his two hands hung down weakly.
The hand holding his neck loosened, but Zhao Qian was no longer able to shout even a word, he lay down in the rain that was not up to his ankles, blood flowed down the wound under his flank, mixed in the rain, but was washed away without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Another bolt of lightning slashed through the air, shining bright white on Zhao Qian's face, which had completely lost its blood, his eyes widened, but he was already devoid of brilliance.
Gao Yuan carried his three-edged military thorn, standing in the rain, the blood on the military thorn mixed with the rain, dripping down, he waved his hand, and two hundred Tsing Yi Fufeng troops behind him flashed out, one followed Gao Yuan straight to the city tower, and the other ran to the city gate.
Open the gates, and thousands of Yan troops will pour into this seemingly completely undefended city, and everything will be over.
A lightning bolt, a thunderstorm, Zhao Dong woke up from a dream, inside and outside the house, except for the sound of the rain, and the occasional thunder, there was no abnormality, sat up from the bed, only felt drenched and extremely uncomfortable, wiped his forehead, the cold sweat in one hand made him smile bitterly, he can be regarded as a veteran of the battlefield, and he is still so a bow and snake shadow, maybe it was the defeat of the previous days, which made him feel a little lost.
I lay down again, but I couldn't sleep. I always can't help but recall the big battle a few days ago, I have to say that this time, the Yan army is fully prepared, and has laid a trap a long time ago, in comparison, Zhao Guo's preparation is too insufficient, at least in terms of military intelligence, it is not fully accurate, otherwise, Zhou Yu, a standing army of up to 20,000 people, should not be difficult to find out in Jiang Daqi's army.
The general underestimated the Yan army too much! Zhao Dong sighed in his heart, Zhou Yuan of Yan State, how can he be in the position of Tai Lieutenant, how can he be easy to get along, all along, the biggest enemy in Zhao State's mind is only Qin State, for the past ten years, Yan State, which has been attached to Zhao State, has never been in his eyes, and now, retribution is coming.
No one is easy to match, even if the military strength is equal, such a big battle, the victory or defeat is also a millimeter, not to mention, now the Yan army has a clear upper hand in military strength.
If you didn't cross the river to fight from the beginning, but just held the border and kept the five cities, the current situation would definitely be different. It's just that the general is a little too calm because of the affairs of the Linghu family. Jiang Yan Guo is too underestimated.
Tossing and turning, unable to sleep, Zhao Dong simply got up from the bed, walked to the table, and drank a large glass of water with a clatter, which cooled his restless heart a little.
Let's go around the walls and see if the soldiers are faithful to their duties? Zhao Dong put on his armor, carried a knife, and opened the door.
The left foot just stepped out of the door, in the whistling wind and rain, suddenly there was a shocking shout, Zhao Dong opened his mouth in shock, his body shook, and he almost fell to the ground.
Zhao Dong's eyes turned black for a while, and he held on to the door frame, so he didn't let himself fall. The throat was fishy and sweet, and a mouthful of blood almost spurted out, such weather, such heavy rain, and the turbulent Yishui River, the enemy actually touched it.
They're in town! Years of experience allowed Zhao Dong to judge the form he was in at the first time.
Pat yourself the face, you must take advantage of the fact that the enemy has just entered the city and has not yet gained a firm foothold, and expel the opponent from the city, otherwise, everything will be over. There are tens of thousands of garrisons in the whole city, and the Yan army on the other side of the Yishui River is only a few thousand.
"Someone, someone!" Pulling out the big knife, Zhao Dong rushed into the courtyard and shouted loudly.
Above the city tower, Gao Yuan condescendingly looked down on the whole city, here, the whole city has an unobstructed view, the night attack is smoother than imagined, the other party has no defense at all, it is no wonder, in such weather, there is a big water in the Yishui River to block, the opponent is difficult to imagine, he wants to have no boat and no bridge, how to cross the Yishui River.
Thanks to Bai Yucheng, Gao Yuan said in his heart, their kind of sheepskin raft that can be used alone and assembled together has helped him a lot.
"County lieutenant, it's out!" Yan Haibo walked over excitedly. Ask where Zhao Dong is!"
"Let's go!" Gao Yuan didn't have any nonsense, turned around and left, there are more than 10,000 Zhao troops in the city, if Zhao Dong organizes the rout, it will inevitably be another hard battle, and at the moment, the Zhao army will not know the soldiers, the soldiers do not know the generals, but it is a good opportunity for each to break through, he wants to smash the Yellow Dragon, so that Zhao Dong has no spare strength to organize and command his army." Xiao Yanzi, take your people, take Ji Lu and sweep it over for me, Zhao Dong, I'll deal with it."
"County lieutenant, you only have two hundred men." Yan Haibo shouted.
"My two hundred people are no worse than your more than a thousand people!" Gao Yuan grinned, more than 400 surviving Fufeng soldiers, more than 200 people were assigned to various battalions to become grassroots officers, and the other 200 people formed Gao Yuan's personal soldiers, which is the soul power of this Yan army.
Gao Yuan took more than 200 soldiers to help the wind, went down the city wall, and quickly disappeared in the pouring rain.
The city was in chaos, full of wolves and rats scurrying Zhao soldiers, as Gao Yuan saw, the sudden attack, so that the Zhao army lost its unified structure, in the panic, some of these soldiers held their heads and ran around, and some of them ran towards the place where they shouted with weapons, and there was no organization at all.
Gao Yuan took the lead, took two hundred Tsing Yi Fufeng soldiers, and rushed all the way to Zhao Dong's station, and the Zhao army in front of them, without exception, became the soul of their sword. More than ten days ago, these Tsing Yi Fufeng soldiers, has become the nightmare of these Zhao army, today suddenly encountered again, fear overcame everything, in the initial resistance of several Zhao troops was cut melons and vegetables like elimination, this small number of Fufeng soldiers, became the Zhao army to avoid the god of death.
Zhao Bing retreated, and the speed of Gao Yuan's advance suddenly accelerated.
In the distance, the sound of thunderous horses' hooves could be heard, and a cavalry was approaching here at high speed.
"There's cavalry coming!" The soldiers suddenly stopped, Gao Yuan made a few gestures, on the street, in the blink of an eye, several tripwire ropes were laid down, the soldiers holding the ropes hid themselves in the corner of the house, more soldiers formed a group, two hands folded, one stepped up, threw hard, and the other climbed onto the roof. Remove the longbow from your back and wait for the arrow.
In the blink of an eye, the streets were empty.
The cavalry that rushed was the cavalry of the Zhao army under the command of He Dapeng. The city was suddenly attacked, He Dapeng was shocked, and only led more than 100 horsemen to go straight out, and the place he was going to was the city gate.
The anxious He Dapeng didn't seem to notice the strangeness on the street, hit the horse and galloped, and then, he felt that he was flying, and the galloping war horse fell to the ground, throwing him high, in mid-air, he saw that on the ground, more war horses collided with each other, fell into a ball, and were thrown in the air, as well as several brave knights who rode with him in the front.
