Chapter 230: Reinforcements
After Yan Hongyan called the chef in the house, he ordered people to go to the major restaurants in the city, ordered a few chefs to come, renovated a big table, and waited for Ouyang Feng's victorious return.
An hour later, there was a slight noise outside the palace gate, and Wanyan Hongyan jumped up, walked out of the door, and asked the general: "But Mr. Ouyang is back?" ”
After a while, the family will report it, but it is not.
Wanyan Hongyan waved his hand, sent him away, and continued to wait.
Another hour passed, and there was still no movement, and Wanyan Hongyan finally couldn't bear it anymore and ordered someone to go to the north city gate to observe the movement of the military camp outside the city.
A quarter of an hour later, the people who had gone to visit reported that there had been some movement in the military camp outside the city earlier, and that it had calmed down as usual.
Wanyan Hongyan kept beating the drum in his heart, if Ouyang Feng hadn't infiltrated Wanyan Kang's camp, he would definitely have no change all night, but if Ouyang Feng had already succeeded, the enemy's reaction would inevitably be too calm.
And no matter whether Ouyang Feng succeeds or not, why is he still nowhere to be seen, Wan Yan Hongyan is really puzzled.
When he saw the ugliness, Ouyang Feng had not yet returned. After Yan Hongyan lost his patience, he returned to the study alone and lay down on the couch.
After a while, Wanyan Hongyan tossed and turned on the couch, and it was still difficult to sleep, so he got up again, lit the lamp, took out a historical book, and began to read silently.
When reading Xiang Yu's book, Wanyan Hongyan muttered to himself: "With the courage of Xiang Yu, it is inevitable that he will run out of food and die in the end." Even if this little bastard has the courage of an overlord, how can he break the city alone? All I have to do is hold on to the city until it is exhausted......"
Thinking of this, Wanyan Hongyan couldn't help but feel a little remorseful, he had paid too much attention to Ouyang Feng before, and for this reason, he also gave the life of a clan general, which was really a little undeserved.
One night passed in a hurry, and by the time it was dawn, Ouyang Feng was still nowhere to be seen. Wanyan Hongyan was no longer anxious about this, and led hundreds of generals to inspect the northern city wall first to observe the enemy's situation.
Wan Yankang woke up from his meditation and spit out a mouthful of blood. After a night of pranayama, his internal injuries have improved, and he will be able to recover within ten days.
He walked out of the camp and saw Yan Hongyan standing at the head of the city with his people from a distance, saying something to the left and right. Because it was too far away, the city's voice couldn't be heard at all, but looking at that appearance, Wanyan Hongyan seemed to be cheering for his subordinates.
Wan Yankang watched quietly for a moment, and then ordered: "Think of some way, don't make this life too comfortable." "The cavalry could not attack the city, so Wan Yankang ordered a group of unequaled flying horsemen and their reserves to start walking around the city, using the power of the strong bow to shoot arrows into the city from time to time.
But this time, it wasn't people who shot Wushuang, the arrows they shot were tied with a white cloth on the arrows.
The soldiers at the head of the city who picked up the arrows tore open the white cloth and saw two rows of sixteen big characters written on it.
Only the first evil will be punished, and the rest will not be cared for.
Set things right, and there is no fault.
At the same time, Wan Yankang also selected 800 soldiers with loud voices, lined up at the city gates on all sides, and there were 200 outside one city gate, shouting loudly.
As for the content of this shout, Wan Yankang only stipulated an outline, and let these Qiu Ba play the rest freely.
This time, it's interesting to be tight.
The swallow of the king of Yan is the eunuch of the eunuch.
Eunuch bastard, give birth to a son without eggs.
King Yan ascended the throne and knelt and licked Yongji.
These Qiu Ba are free to play, but they don't pick up those serious things to shout, they are always vulgar.
Wan Yan Honglie listened to it in the barracks, and he didn't feel a little frowned, and motioned to Wan Yan Kang to let his subordinates restrain a little.
Wan Yankang smiled faintly and said, "Father, just let this group of boys scatter it, maybe there will be a miraculous effect!" ”
Wan Yan Honglie touched a soft nail, but there was no way to do it, so he had to care about Wan Yan Kang's injury for a while, and then went back to the account. At this time, he was in Wanyan Kang's camp, and Wanyan Honglie found that the generals and colonels in the camp had great respect for him, His Royal Highness King Zhao, but if he wanted to give orders, no one would pay attention to him.
For this reason, His Royal Highness King Zhao was a little unhappy in his heart.
If Yan Honglie couldn't listen to it after speaking, Yan Hongyan was even more furious, and ordered the general guarding the city to use a bed crossbow to teach these Qiu Ba a good lesson.
On the middle capital city, there are twenty bed crossbows on all sides, and the range can reach 300 steps. After Yan Kang's gang of bastards, they scolded happily, and unconsciously some of them entered the range of the bed crossbow, and as a result, the bed crossbow on the city wall was fired, and the eight hundred people lost one hundred and ten lives, and they retreated as if flying.
One hundred and ten lives is really nothing to a big war. But for the arrogant generals under Wan Yankang, this is the first time that they have suffered a big loss under the Zhongdu City.
As a result, the generals came to ask for their orders to lead the army to break the city.
Wan Yankang blocked everyone out of the handsome tent, and only dropped a sentence: "Let you scold, but don't let you die!" ”
The generals looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.
Zhou Xiaojiang suddenly thought of something later, so he secretly pulled a few company commanders and deputy company commanders, and discussed them in a chattering manner.
After Yan Hongyan heard the reports everywhere, the bed crossbow was meritorious, and the scolding on all sides had stopped, and he couldn't help but feel very relieved. Unexpectedly, less than half an hour, he heard bursts of scolding from outside the city.
After Yan Hongyan passed the order, give me a hard shot!
So the eighty bed crossbows at the four gates of the city swished and fired arrows outside the city.
The bed crossbow on the city of the middle capital is made by the master of the Ministry of Industry, a bed crossbow is often combined with three bows, using the combined force of multiple bows, and also using the principle of pulley to open the bow and send arrows, the strength is far better than the general bow and crossbow, the effective range can reach 300 steps, it is an excellent weapon to defend the city.
The soldiers under the command of Wan Yankang suffered a loss the first time, and learned to be obedient the second time. Under the assignment of Zhou Xiaojiang and others, these scolding Qiu Ba immediately walked up and down three hundred steps outside the city wall, and each of them was two or three zhang away.
As the walls began to be loaded with bows and strings, the lookouts let out a shout, and the people retreated. This wave of arrows rained down, causing less than 10 casualties.
Dodging a rain of arrows, this gang of scolding and not afraid of death stepped forward and greeted Yan Hongyan's whole family with greater enthusiasm.
Seeing this, the guard had no choice but to order the arrows to be released again.
After doing this two or three times, Zhou Xiaojiang and the others have thoroughly figured out the range of the bed crossbow, the direction of the arrow, the loading time, and so on. The group of people was even more daring to tease the defenders on the city wall, and from time to time sent a few people to run to the two hundred steps of the city wall, take off their pants and pee.
In the face of such a teasing, the guards in the city were also furious, if it were not for the strict order not to leave the city, maybe someone would have opened the city gate and killed it.
By dusk, nearly thirty percent of the bed crossbows on the city wall had been damaged, and there were not many special arrows left for the bed crossbows.
But the result of the battle was only the death and wounding of more than twenty or thirty people, and later, a round of arrows rained out, and not even a single hair could be touched.
At dinnertime, Wan Yankang heard the report of the battle damage, and his heart was shaken up, this new army has the ability to grow itself, and will be tempered into steel in the war.
A day ago, the rear came to report that the 30,000 infantry under the command of Ma Tie had arrived in Dadingfu, and now it must have been repaired, and it will only take four or five days to reach Zhongdu. Wan Yan Kang made up his mind to constantly use harassment tactics before the infantry arrived, so as not to let Wan Yan Hongyan have a moment of peace.
Unexpectedly, the large army did not wait, and a day later, a wave of unexpected visitors ushered in the barracks.
A group of Taoist priests came to the door and named Yan Kang by name.
As soon as Wan Yankang heard that it was a Taoist priest who came to the door, he immediately rushed to the camp gate. When there were still dozens of steps away from the camp gate, Wan Yankang saw a familiar face, and couldn't help but carry a reed under his feet to cross the river.
"Master, why is your old man here?" Wan Yankang took the hand of the first person, very excited.
The first person was Qiu Chuji, he took Yan Kang's hand, looked up and down for a while, and laughed: "Good apprentice, your appearance as a general is much more powerful than that of Brother Gongzi!" ”
Wan Yankang used to be dressed as a son-in-law in front of Qiu Chuji, and the old Taoist priest couldn't help but have some complaints about this. I haven't seen him for a year or two this time, Wan Yankang's beard on his face began to thicken, and he was also wearing armor in the military camp, and his bearing was naturally different from before.
Wan Yan Kang laughed: "Master, as the commander of the first army, the apprentice is naturally not as usual. As he spoke, he was ready to greet Yin Zhiping and the other brothers behind the fuselage at Qiu.
Yin Zhiping smiled slightly, pulled Yan Kang back, and said, "Senior brother, look who else is coming!" ”
A group of gray-robed Taoist priests dispersed knowingly, revealing the figures of three white-clothed women.
After Yan Kang saw it, he was overjoyed, it turned out that Tian Xiaowan and Li Mochou actually followed down the mountain. Although he was excited, he couldn't wait to hug the two girls into his arms, but at this moment, he had to be patient, and first saluted the other person: "Senior, why did your old man come down the mountain too!" ”
This person glared at Yan Kang fiercely, and said angrily: "My precious apprentice is going to elope, how can I, who is a master, not follow and watch!" ”
Needless to say, this person is Li Mochou's master Lin Nianying. According to her temperament, she can stay in the ancient tomb for the rest of her life and live her whole life, but because of Li Mochou and Tian Xiaowan, she finally chose to go down the mountain.
Tian Xiaowan has made great progress in martial arts in recent years, and not long ago she defeated Sun Buer and officially completed the task of leaving the school.
After the completion of the assignment, Tian Xiaowan refused to stay on Zhongnan Mountain for a moment. Li Mochou and Tian Xiaowan have been getting together every day over the years, they are like sisters, Tian Xiaowan wants to go down the mountain, how can she not follow down the mountain.
When Tian Xiaowan and the uncles said goodbye, there was a message from the bottom of the mountain, saying that the Jin country had changed greatly, and the situation of King Zhao and his family might be worrying. After Qiu Chuji received the letter, he selected more than 20 people who were friendly with Wan Yankang from the three generations of disciples, and led the crowd to rush to Zhongdu to help.
Qiu Chuji brought twenty-one young Taoist priests, plus Tian Xiaowan and three people, a total of twenty-five people. On the battlefield, these few martial arts masters are actually very limited.
But as soon as the two little beauties arrived, Wan Yankang's heart immediately became hot and his spirits were uplifted.
