Chapter 66: Defending the City
"Li Yi, when you go back to Kyoto, I will let my father punish you.
I am a prince, and I have no regard for my safety,
Don't listen to orders! Li Yi didn't listen to the crooked roar of the eldest prince,
"Come on, Your Highness may be tired, help me down and entertain you."
"Li Yi, what are you going to do? I'm the prince! ”
"You're the prince? You're 2 goods! ”
Li Yi whispered.
Count the casualties, and leave some people in the city,
lest the people rebel, and the rest will give me the wall.
"Tell the people of the city that it is forbidden to harbor officers and soldiers,
The Jicheng County Ordinance or the County Guard shall confiscate all weapons,
When you encounter resistance, kill directly! After Li Yi finished speaking, he walked towards the city gate.
"Report to the general, our army suffered more than 1,000 casualties in this siege,
More than 8,000 enemies were annihilated. ”
20,000 people of the Dragon and Tiger Army came out with me Li Yi,
Now there are less than 4,000 left.
Li Yi clearly remembered that on the day the army was launched,
Some soldiers' wives gave a sachet to their husbands.
She said she would wait for him to return in triumph.
An old man reprimanded his son for not crying,
The eldest husband wants to protect the family and defend the country, and my old Zhu family only has a standing seed!
There are children waiting for their fathers,
There are wives waiting for their husbands.
Li Yi let them down, and more than 16,000 people stayed here.
Deng Jin's team was rescued by Li Yi more than 700 people, and the rest should have been sacrificed.
Of the 100,000 troops of Wei, there are now only more than 4,000 left.
Li Yi looked at the only remaining soldiers on the city wall,
Everyone's face is full of exhaustion,
continuous battles and rushes,
Let everyone have blood on their bodies.
A lot of people, without arms, without legs,
There are no ears, no eyes.
I'm going to TM for war,
For a moment, Li Yi really wanted to cut the eldest prince.
"Congratulations to the host for completing Task 1, Task 2 and last month's quest, and will be rewarded with 15 lucky draw attempts!"
Li Yi was in no mood to care about 748's voice,
Because Li Yi stood on the city wall and kept looking at the north.
……
meanwhile
The 1,000 people brought by Xia Shuang rushed continuously,
Many soldiers are out of shoes,
Pots and pans are also thrown away all the way to confuse the enemy.
"Brothers, it's almost there! Sir, it's time to capture Jicheng. We made a detour to rush back, and we all went to Jicheng alive. Walk ......"
……
Li Yi sat on the city wall,
Look at the prizes won by the draw:
"Two AKs, 1,000 bullets."
"20 grenades, 20 lead grenades."
"54 pistols, 1 pistol, 50 bullets."
"10 burn shao bombs."
"There are even two Chinese cigarettes......
There was only one glove, and it was ignored by Li Yi.
"Fixed lottery: two barrels of gasoline and 2 smoke bombs."
All 15 entries were used up.
……
On the first day of the city,
The sky was just hazy, and the soft drizzle woke Li Yi up,
Li Yi sat on the city wall all night,
The clothes on his body were all bloody, and he didn't change them.
"General, let's have some food." Gao Ren brought Li Yi some food,
Freshly cooked meals in restaurants in the city,
"Let the other brothers take turns to stand guard and eat!"
"Yes, General!"
"General, are we going to stay here?"
"Well, with the city guarding here, we can't get out. Now the news has gotten out. Out of the city, we people are living targets. I trust the king to send men to our aid. Li Yi whispered.
4,000 people defend the city, how many days can they defend? How many people can be left!
"Let the people of Jicheng help make weapons, don't push it too tightly and cause the people to resist!"
"Yes, General!"
On the first day of defending the city, it was safe and sound.
……
On the second day of the defense of the city,
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Li Yi suddenly opened his eyes,
Use the sniper scope to observe the enemy forces on the opposite side.
"It's Xia Shuang, I know how Xia Shuang can die.
Hurry up, come to the city gates, our brothers are back. ”
Li Yi rode out of the city gate quickly, and watched Xia Shuang rush over from a distance,
"Sir, if you are not dishonored, you should not die!"
"Haha, it's good to come back, it's good to come back!"
A group of more than 600 people entered the city,
More than 400 people remained on the way to be pursued.
……
At the same time, the Wei state of Kyoto,
"Urgent report from the front, our army has won a great victory, and General Li has captured Jicheng!"
"Urgent report from the front, our army has won a great victory, and General Li has captured Jicheng!"
The people along the road wept with joy,
Some time ago, I heard that our army's 100,000 soldiers and horses were all wiped out,
Even the great prince was captured,
The entire Wei kingdom was immersed in mourning.
"Didn't General Lee block reinforcements? How did you go about attacking Jicheng? ”
"I heard that General Li's 20,000 men blocked the enemy's 120,000 troops for two days and two nights."
"General Li is really powerful, the Dragon and Tiger Army is good,
I heard that General Li's whereabouts were unknown, so it turned out that he had gone to Jicheng. ”
"I heard that the eldest prince was captured in Jicheng, and General Li went to save the eldest prince."
A crowd of people are running around the streets to tell each other!
All the drinks in my restaurant are free to drink today.
At this time, it can also be heard in the teahouse: "Erlang Shen, even if you have 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, what can you do to me?" ”
"Boss, how much is this preserves?"
"This young lady is free today."
On the streets, you can hear people talking happily.
Many talented people also chanted poems to express their joy.
In the palace of the King of Wei,
"Great King, great victory on the front. General Li Yi led the troops and successfully rescued the eldest prince and occupied Jicheng. ”
"Good, good, good!"
The civil servants and generals below also said loudly.
A piece of news from the front line swept away the haze of the Wei State for many days.
LI Fuzhong,
"The county lord, the second lady, the lord has news."
"The lord led the troops to rescue the eldest prince and also captured Jicheng. The lord is amazing. Li Er shouted loudly.
"County Lord, the lord has occupied Jicheng." A few girls accompanied the county lord and Ruhua in the house and cried with joy.
"I knew our Xiang Guild would be fine.
Father has already sent troops, Li Yi will definitely be fine. ”
……
Let's turn our gaze back to the battlefield of Jicheng,
"The whole army is ready!"
"Bow and crossbow ready, rain of arrows covered!"
Zhao Jun rushed to the city of Jicheng,
The two sides fought the first battle of attacking and defending the city.
General Cheng, the leader of the Zhao army, was also very depressed,
was escaped by Li Yi one after another,
Jicheng was also lost, and the 120,000 army was also consumed, and more than 40,000 people remained.
This is the first time that an undefeated general has fought so badly.
In any case, I have to take Jicheng back.
Therefore, General Cheng, the enemy general, specially sent another 4,000 people from Liancheng to support.
"Crossbow, first round fire!"
"Rush me, don't go back!"
"Watch the city walls, and don't let an enemy go up the walls." Li Yi held a sniper rifle and kept shooting.
When the bullet is gone, I replace it with an AK tutu.
The enemy army cooperated with the trebuchet and attacked the city wall again and again,
Li Jiajun knocked the enemy back again and again.
The two sides fought for 5 hours and 10 hours.
Beneath the walls are corpses,
This time, more than 16,000 enemies were annihilated.
Li Jiajun's casualties were close to 2,000 people,
We have more than 3,000 people left.
Li Yi held on to the city wall, and his arm no longer had the strength to raise it.
Li Yi couldn't remember how many enemies had died at his hands.
Every time it is an enemy several times its own, the rest of Li Jiajun are also good players, and they also have a one-to-eight record with the help of condescending.
But it's a bit unbearable, and tomorrow afternoon it may not be able to hold on.
"Gao Ren, you bring someone to attack the camp for me at night.
Don't fall in love with the fight, run away after the fight.
Then every 1 hour, I will go to the camp for attack.
The enemy troops cannot be allowed to rest. Li Yi commanded.
"Yes, General!" Gao Ren turned around and left, and went to prepare.
In this way, all night, Gao Ren led people to constantly harass the enemy camp,
In the end, the enemy sent troops to defend it!
On the third day of the defense of the city,
The enemy army was assembled at noon,
Plans to make final siege preparations.
At this time, the city wall of Jicheng was unusually quiet,
If someone comes close and observes, they will see,
There were no soldiers on the walls anymore, only a few wooden figures standing on the walls.
So where did Li Jiajun go?
Let's rewind the clock to after last night's assault.
The whole army traveled lightly and rushed to Liancheng.
From the back door, be fast! ”
So, the whole team of more than 3,000 people,
The hasty march rushed to Liancheng.
"Report to the general, there is still 1 day away from Liancheng."
"Okay, the team will increase the speed again, and the city will be defeated, and we will rest again."
"Yes, the whole army is moving faster."
……
"General Cheng, the Wei army in Jicheng has all run away?"
"What, Wei Jun ran away? Li Yi: Where will he go?
Leave some people to defend Jicheng, and the others follow me to chase the Wei army. There is a degree of advance and retreat, regardless of the gains and losses of a city or a place, leading the troops in a good way, and the soldiers of the army are not afraid of death, Li Yi can't stay, otherwise sooner or later it will be a big disaster for my Zhao country.
I think, will Li Yi go to Liancheng? General Cheng guessed in his heart.
On the night of the second day,
Li Yi, as General Cheng guessed, arrived at the city of Liancheng,
"There shouldn't be many defenders in the city, Zhou Zhen's 30,000 people consumed part of the defenders,
The enemy General Cheng transferred another part,
The old way, a quick siege! After Li Yi finished instructing,
The whole army began to attack the city according to the plan.
Although it was resisted by the defenders in the city,
But he was still caught off guard by Li Jiajun,
One hour later, Liancheng was occupied by Li Yi.
Li Yi also met Zhou Zhen,
Zhou Zhen is also a man,
Beaten beyond recognition by the enemy,
There's no better place in the body,
I didn't say a word to the enemy.
"Sir, give me a good time, I have betrayed the trust of His Royal Highness and the king, and I have no shame to face my father and fellow villagers." Zhou Zhen said to Li Yi with a mouth full of blood.
"General Zhou, I, Li Yi, respect you as a man.
But this does not make up for the mistake you made, because of your recklessness, more than 20,000 people died for it, come back to Kyoto with me to ask the king for guilt, if I were still alive. Li Yi said.
"General Zhou, you have suffered!"
"Your Highness, is that you? Your Highness, the last general is ashamed of the trust placed in you. Your Highness, give me a good time! Zhou Zhen's eyes couldn't be opened because of the swelling, but he heard the voice of the eldest prince.
Li Yi included more than 6,000 rescued people into his team.
Now the entire Li family army has reached more than 8,000 people.
This is also the last person left behind by Wei to go north this time.
"Zhou Zhen, I'll give you 3,000 people, and you will give me 1 day to defend Liancheng, can you do it? TM tell me! Li Yi asked loudly.
"Report to General Li, people are in the city, and people are dead in the city."
Zhou Zhen used all his strength to reply.
"Great army, hurry up and replenish the grain and grass.
3,000 men were left behind to guard the city.
The remaining 5,000 men followed to take Jicheng back. Li Yi commanded.
In the last week, the whole army has been in a hurry,
is fighting, from Li Yi to the soldiers, the shoes are almost gone, and everyone's eyes are numb, as if they are machines one by one, repeating the actions of killing and being killed.
Li Yi's army rested for an hour, replenished grain and grass,
And set off again.
Li Yi plans to annihilate the enemy army this time,
Now the enemy army is also exhausted by Li Yi,
Wherever Li Yi runs, the enemy will chase him.
"Don't stop, hurry overnight, and arrive in Jicheng to rest."
When Li Yi returned to Jicheng City,
And Zhao Jun still has one day to reach Liancheng.
"Don't talk nonsense, fight!"
Soon, Ji Cheng regained his surname Li! The people in the city have not yet had time to adapt to the joy of their army taking back the city,
The city was once again occupied by the Wei army.
"Stay, 2,000 men are responsible for guarding the city.
The others brought all the equipment and food and grass, and while hurrying, they rested and quickly went to support Zhou Zhen. After Li Yi finished instructing,
The troops began to get busy and prepared to go.
On the evening of the second day, Zhao's army arrived at the city of Liancheng,
The Zhao army chose to rest for the night and attack the city during the day.
And Li Yi's troops are day and night,
Marching at breakneck speed.
On the third day, the Zhao army was assembled,
Zhou Zhen, who could open his eyes a little on the city wall, looked at the bottom of the city,
The dense crowd of 20,000 people,
"General Li, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Majesty, today, I, Zhou Zhen, will use this sinful body to defend this Liancheng for General Li Yi for 1 day."
Zhou Zhen muttered to himself.
As the trebuchet of the Zhao army continued to smash towards the city wall,
It heralded the beginning of the battle to defend the city.
