Chapter 549: Papers
Three hundred steps apart, Wei Xing naturally couldn't hear what Tian Xin was talking about, so he saw Tian Xin walking towards him with the rifle bow that was said to be able to shoot Lingnan demons.
Tian Xin passed through the second fence, which was two hundred paces from the city wall, followed by the innermost fence, one hundred and fifty steps from the city wall.
Standing upwind, Tian Xin could vaguely see the swaying heads of people at the battlements of the city wall, their faces were crowded, and some of the sergeants even stood on tiptoe or poked their heads out on the backs of other robes...... Full of curiosity.
Don't think about it, you also know that they are competing to see themselves, to see if they are really three-headed and six-armed, and have the ability to move mountains and catch up with the sea.
Wei Xing was no exception, but if you squinted, the wind was strong and the dust was blowing, and there were white clouds in the sky and mountains in the distance, and lead-colored clouds in the distance.
The autumn rain in Nanshan is very terrifying, and there is often rain on weekdays, and when the rain clouds are exaggerated, there are frequent crossings, and there can be three rains a day.
Wei Xing just glanced at the possible rain clouds, and did not expect it, it was not yet time for the rain to rain, and even if it rained, it would be showers...... Even black rain clouds would drift overhead, and lightning and thunder would resound all the way, but there would be no drop of rain.
How can mortals be sure of the climate?
We can only judge on the basis of experience, and we cannot give hope to others.
Seeing that the officials on the left and right were vying to look at Tian Xin, Wei Xing pursed his dusty lips, still shrunk his head at the battlement, and frowned: "Gentlemen, what do you mean by Duke Xia coming here?" Could it be that you want to make a forced landing on us? ”
"It should be so, I heard that Xia Gongshen shot Wushuang and shot a giant whale in Nanshan."
A military officer did not know: "Giant whale? ”
Wei Xing smiled at this time: "Giant whale...... When I was a teenager, I saw this thing in the East China Sea, and this thing floated on the shore, and its ribs alone were more than a foot long. ”
With a little lingering melancholy and regret, Wei Xing continued to observe Tian Xin, did he want to shoot these wait-and-see officials?
Shoot like Tai Shi Ci to demoralize the defenders?
Don't the other side know the real situation of the defenders?
During this period of time, I watched the Beifu soldiers build three fences outside, and the defenders in the city did not make a little nuisance.
In addition to not finding a chance to start, the reluctance to play is also the reason.
Since the Battle of Hanzhong, there have been many great battles, but in fact, in the entire land of Zhuxia and its surroundings, only two forces are in the mood to start a war.
One is naturally the Wu Qianyongliang Legion that won consecutive battles and annexed the Southern Xiongnu and Hexi Zhuhu coalition armies; Guanzhong is deserted, but the vegetation is luxuriant, and it is very suitable for the nomadic tribes under Wu Zhi's command.
The servant army under the command of Wu Zhen also imitated the structure of the Beifu camp and the department, and divided most of the 1,000 households, the central 500 households, and the small 100 households, scattered in the Guanzhong, nomadic recuperation.
Only with grass, water, and sheltered from the wind in winter, these grazing and producing tribes can live in peace, and gradually transition to semi-farming and semi-grazing under the guidance of Wu Zhi; With the advantage of animal power, when agriculture gradually becomes the mainstream, then the abundant grain brought by agriculture will make the population of Guanzhong grow rapidly.
It can be said that it is thriving, imitating the production optimization brought by Beifu and the advantages of the system, and the current Yongliang army is full of activity...... I am afraid that Dawei will suddenly abandon Guanzhong, or Guanzhong will be captured.
A bright and bright tomorrow awaits the Wu Zhi Army, so the will to fight is really tenacious, and their fighting is more inclined to protect the huge gains, wealth, and rich life in the future control and chokehold.
I have eaten too much wind and sand in the side stopper, and now that I have come to Guanzhong, no one wants to leave!
Another force with the initiative of war is not Beifu, which is also tired, it is Xianbei and Donghu, and this initiative of war is rooted in their daily life and has developed into the custom of plunder.
However, it is true that Wu Qianyongliang's army has a very high fighting spirit...... But the 3,000 people under his command did not have much will to fight.
Among them, 1,000 were from Hebei scholars, and the other 2,000 were local soldiers recruited from Shangxian and Shangluo.
The structure of the army is like this, and there is a trend of 'freezing to death without demolishing houses, and starving to death without plundering'...... It is simply unrealistic to expect local soldiers to fight to the death with Beifu.
And there is no precedent for killing and surrendering in Beifu, so if Zhang Liao does such a thing, he will only carry out eleventh killings on Zhang Liao's last stubborn troops...... It's already too merciful.
As a second-generation general who came from the troubled times, Hebei Shihu can be said to be the third generation of grandparents and grandchildren from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the present, and has a deep understanding of the cruelty of war.
How to survive from war is an ancestral experience...... They can be expected to fight with Hu Lu, but they cannot be expected to die on their own initiative.
Therefore, no one on the entire city wall went to operate the bow and crossbow, and they all vied to see Tian Xin, wondering if he would go to the city, and then promised a reasonable condition to persuade him to surrender.
Surrender...... There is no shame in surviving.
It's a pity that Tian Xin stopped one hundred and fifty paces away, put on his finger sleeve in his right hand, adjusted his breathing, and held a bow in his left hand to look at the flags planted all over the city.
With so many heads crowded together, I don't know which one is the main general, and there is no point in shooting at will.
Even if there is a small probability that one blow will be fatal, the first arrow will kill the main general...... It doesn't make any sense, there are only three or four thousand defenders on the city, although it is a fortified city, it can be eaten at any time.
There are two reasons for dragging it out, the first is to force the Wei army to send reinforcements, and continuously thwart the reinforcements, which can deal a deeper blow to and suppress the morale of the Wei army on all fronts; If the Wei army did not have large-scale and decent reinforcements, then the Wei troops in various strongholds would naturally be shaken when they saw that Shangluo had fallen without help.
The second reason, which is a bit ridiculous, is that the forward troops surround Shangluo and can storm and seize it...... The reason why I don't fight is to keep it for myself to eat.
Everyone is advocating and preaching the first reason, but Tian Xin always feels that the second reason is the main one.
It is not only to please oneself, but also to constantly strengthen one's reputation, which can maximize the deterrence of the enemy, so that they are frightened, fearful, and dare not resist.
Looking at the banner at the head of the city, Tian Xin adjusted his breathing...... His 'strong bow' talent is not omnipotent, and there is a huge flaw.
Although he can adjust the deviation at the moment of his own arrow, so that the arrow can fly towards the target he is aiming at...... There is no such thing as calculating the amount of lead.
That is, shooting a fixed target, he is a real marksman; When shooting at a moving target, this amount of advance needs to be calculated by yourself, and the talent cannot be calibrated or corrected.
After all, it's just the guiding arrow, plus the hit; Not a tracking arrow.
Aiming at the largest square earth yellow bottom at the head of the city, the black Wei character battle flag draws the bow, which is the first-class battle flag of the Wei army, and a more accurate description should be 'Daxu'.
In the wind, the heavy flag is barely unfurled, not like other flags hunting.
"Doo!"
"Buzz~!"
Wei Xing saw Tian Xin shooting arrows, and the surrounding officials subconsciously shrank their heads, and heard that the flagpole with a thick arm seven or eight steps away was broken by an arrow, and the flag fell to the gatehouse, barely supported, and did not fall to the ground.
Although Tian Xin's vermilion lacquer arrow reduced its strength after breaking the flagpole, it still hit the wooden pillar of the gatehouse, and the arrow was nailed into half a foot, and the arrow feathers vibrated rapidly.
"Sith~!"
Wei Xing looked up, and saw Tian Xin stretching his bow again, and there was another oscillating sound of arrows nailing into the plank, and his battle flag ...... A banner embroidered with 'General Zhenwei' was also shot off the flagpole, which was even more brittle, and immediately broke off and landed on the city wall.
Looking at each other, Wei Xing and a few young people looked at each other, and they all remembered what happened when they were teenagers.
Shoot the halberd.
At that time, he was still the attendant of Wenhou Lu Bu's tent, he was not only a small attendant who fed Lu Bu's horses and maintained his armor, but also Lu Bu's nephew.
The entire city wall was silent, and I watched as one flag after another was shot down.
"Wu quality is finished."
Almost without thinking, every Wei general who appeared on the battlefield to command would be shot as long as his identity was revealed.
Even if the main general survives and the battle flag is broken, the army will be in chaos.
After Tian Xin stopped, Wei Xing's tone was dry: "I heard that Your Majesty and Xia Gong have a deep relationship, if Xia Gong goes to write to Your Majesty, I and my family may be able to save it." ”
He glanced left and right, and no one objected at the first time, and no one supported it at the first time.
An old friend who was also from Lu Bu's old ministry spoke: "Xia Gong's reputation is all over the sea, if you can get Xia Gong's note, we will wait...... So...... Uh-huh, there's still a way out, not to die and ruin your home. ”
