Chapter 608: Yan Ran City is in danger
Yanran City, the city of the border fortress of the Zhou Kingdom.
Located outside the Saiwai near the Jurchen tribe, the city was quite desolate, and the garrison numbered 500 men.
And there were about three thousand people in the city.
The conditions weren't too tough.
The guard general Qi Shizhong has also fought with the Jurchens for many years outside the Saiwai, and he has also found a set of experience in fighting with the Jurchens.
"Phew! This yellow sand is all over the sky, and what you see when you get up every day is yellow sand, which is really uncomfortable. ”
He Qi, the standard-bearer on the side, spat at the mouth, about all day facing the yellow sand, and his face was blown rough under the wind, and his face looked extremely rough, but his eyes looked particularly spirited.
"It's actually not bad to face such yellow sand all day long, it's better than having to face the enemy."
When a small soldier on the side heard this, he laughed.
The faces of several soldiers were very rough, but the armor on their bodies was already a little worn, and they looked a little old.
"Stone, you got up a little late today, this is on your mother-in-law, are you reluctant to get up?"
He Qi looked at his comrades-in-arms on the side, and said with a smile.
"Isn't it, that cry last night could be heard all over the city."
"You just don't have a mother-in-law, if you have, maybe it's better than a stone!"
When several soldiers on the side heard this, they immediately laughed, and their tones were full of ridicule.
Hearing this, the stone spat a few mouthfuls at the feet of several people, who all liked to joke about this kind of thing, and he was used to it.
At this glance, there is almost a place full of yellow sand, and there is not much fun to be had.
"When I went out of the city yesterday, I saw a wolf's den a mile away, how about it, and I went to serve it at night?"
The stone licked his lips, there were not many days to be able to eat meat these days.
That litter of wolf cubs, if you're lucky, can stew a few pots of meat to give everyone a mouthful of soup.
"Wolf's den?"
Hearing this, several people on the side suddenly came to their senses, and their faces showed a bit of covetousness.
If this is beaten, you can indeed eat a bite of meat, there is no game in the vicinity, and some of it has been eaten by them.
"Really? It can't be empty, right? ”
"No way, I've seen it before."
He Qi shook his head, this thing is unlikely.
"Be honest and stand still."
Qi Shizhong glared at his subordinates and asked them to be honest.
The crowd shrank their heads slightly, and immediately did not dare to make a sound.
But He Qi didn't care much, "Boss, I've been here for more than ten years, I haven't seen any strong winds and waves, so I won't be so careful." ”
"Yesterday a group of businessmen came, it seems that the scale is very large, who knows if anyone wants to attack their idea."
Qi Shizhong snorted coldly.
The caravan came to settle here, and after leaving for a while, it would enter a sheep's intestine path, and the caravan liked to go there.
Because wherever they go, the cavalry is not happy, and if there is danger, they can jump directly into the mountain stream on the side.
The mountain stream is not high, and you can basically survive if you jump.
If you are more ruthless, even with the goods pushed down, some raiders can only return empty-handed.
In this way, if someone is eyeing this caravan and does not make a move in front, this is basically their last chance.
He saw clearly yesterday that this caravan was very large, and I was afraid that it was worth a lot of money, and it was very possible to say that someone was tempted.
"How..."
Burst...
Before one of the soldiers could finish his sentence, a feathered arrow flew out, pierced his neck and slammed into the wall behind him.
Qi Shizhong looked at this scene, just stunned for a moment, and then shouted, "Get down, the enemy is attacking!" ”
The soldiers around him, all veterans who had followed him in the battle, fell down one after another the moment they heard the order, and hid behind the female wall.
Whoa...
The sound of feathered arrows breaking through the air sounded, and then I saw an overwhelming array of arrows flying towards this side.
A veteran who couldn't dodge was immediately shot as a hedgehog.
"Old money!"
The friend on the side turned his head and saw his friend who had been shot into a hedgehog, and immediately roared, wanting to go out and drag him over, but seeing the density of the feather arrows, he didn't dare to mess around at all.
"Straight to his mother, Jurchen?"
Qi Shizhong hid behind the female wall, looked at the two veterans who died, and couldn't help twitching in his heart, looking at the arrow, he couldn't help frowning.
Although it is close to the Jurchens, sometimes it is not necessarily the Jurchens.
But looking at this arrow at this moment, he knew that it was definitely from the Jurchen tribe.
Compared with the rest of the tribes, the Jurchen tribe will be relatively rich, and the bow will be heavier and more powerful.
He could hear it by listening to the voice.
Looking at the density of arrows, I am afraid that there are three or four thousand people from the Jurchen tribe.
If there is a Jurchen tribe who does not shoot arrows, then he may have been wrong in his estimation.
It's just such a value, which directly makes his heart sink and feel that something is wrong with the big thing.
What's going on with this Jurchen tribe, why are so many people here this time?
Three or four thousand people is already a lot for the Jurchens, and for them it is more.
In the city, the people fled in confusion at this moment, running towards the nearest houses.
More than a dozen people were unlucky, and they were shot directly on the street, and the blood suddenly flowed out in all directions, staining the loess red.
When some relatives saw this scene, they immediately cried heartbreakingly, but they didn't dare to go out in the rain of arrows.
The rain of arrows shot for more than ten minutes before it stopped a little.
Qi Shizhong glanced outside, and immediately shrank back.
This glance suddenly made his face even more unsightly, there were really three or four thousand people from the Jurchen clan outside.
With so many people, there are only about 500 people on their side, and this battle is not easy to fight at all.
"Ready, the enemy is near!"
Qi Shizhong took a slight breath and shouted at his subordinates on the side, it was already this time, and he couldn't retreat.
Otherwise, they will have to die if the city is broken.
The city walls are lost, and the ordnance is ready.
The crowd picked up their bows and arrows, leaned against the angle of the female wall, and began to shoot at the people who could already be seen.
The women's wall has a certain angle of inclination, so that the soldiers can completely hide behind the women's wall and shoot arrows.
The angle of inclination directly forms a shooting range without dead ends.
The rain of arrows began to shoot towards the Jurchens outside the city, and the gate under the city had been completely closed after seeing the Jurchens.
The gate opens inward, and when the gate is closed, the soldier can dodge behind the gate and easily close the gate without enemy fire.
