Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Battle of Licheng (1)

After staying at Qin Qiong's house for a while, Yang Yun and Han Qiang returned to the place where Chen Junshou arranged to rest, after all, there may be a big war tomorrow, how can you have the energy to deal with it if you don't rest.

Yang Jun slept well this night, maybe it was really because he was too tired, he slept until dawn, and Chen Junshou did not send anyone to urge, it is estimated that the situation outside the city is relatively stable.

After Yang Jun got up, he inspected the remaining 20,000 reinforcements he brought, fortunately, much better than he imagined, at least none of them were like dead dogs, they were all up, of course, the situation of some soldiers was not very good, after all, after such a tragic battle, not all soldiers could bear it, and all aspects of function may be disordered, especially emotional problems.

"Everyone assemble, hurry up, how can you deal with the more brutal war that is coming." Yang Jun said to them.

"Don't forget what you are, you are soldiers! He is a soldier who shoulders the mission of protecting his home and defending the country. Look at what you are talking about defending your family and the country, it's good to be able to save your own life. I know that many of you are killing an enemy for the first time, but I am also the first time to kill an enemy in person, just like you, and I can recover, why can't you?! A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, you tell me, are you a good soldier?! Yang Yun said loudly, if you don't provoke these people, don't wait for the chain to fall into trouble.

"We are!" A few of the hard-nosed soldiers replied immediately.

"That's all, what about you? Are you willing to be the most ordinary soldier, so don't talk about me, I'm afraid your family will also look down on you, now I ask one last time. Do you look like a good soldier?! ”

"Yes!" This time more people stood up.

"What do you think?!" Yang Jun continued to ask

"We want to be a good soldier, we don't want to be left behind!" This time everyone stood up, and many of them were still a little trembling, but they were excited, as if they had seen themselves truly become excellent soldiers.

"Excellent! You have not disappointed me, now is the time for you to prove yourself, the defenders of Licheng need your help, they have experienced a redundant hold, they have long been exhausted, and now it is up to you to replace them, so that our heroes can rest well. Can you do it? Yang Jun gave the task

"Yes! ~" More than 20,000 people shouted together, and the fear in their hearts had long been thrown out of the clouds.

When Yang Jian led more than 20,000 people to the city wall, Chen Junshou was already there, and it was no wonder that Licheng could be defended for so long. The boss is not afraid of death, the soldiers can spare their lives, even the commander is patrolling the city wall, so what else are the soldiers afraid of, first of all, the momentum will not lose to the enemy, it can be seen that the coach is definitely the spiritual pillar in the heart of the ordinary, and the heart of resistance will not be extinguished if the pillar does not fall.

"Lord Wang, why are you here, why don't you rest for a while?" When Chen Jian saw Yang Jian coming to the city wall, he immediately came over to meet him.

"It's okay, this king is here to guard for you for two days, you soldiers have been holding out for more than a month, if you don't have a good rest, sooner or later there will be problems, take advantage of the enemy's big move to rest first, only after a good rest can you deal with everything." Yang Jun said

"But Lord Wang, those soldiers you brought?" Chen Jian wanted to ask but stopped.

"This Chen Junshou doesn't have to worry, you see," Yang Jun said as he pointed to the soldiers he had brought

Chen Jian looked at it, it was amazing, the army that was still so sluggish last night actually recovered to such a momentum in just one night, it can be seen that the elite is the elite, and his admiration for Yang Jian is even deeper.

"Well, well. I left half of the people for the prince's use, and in case of emergency, at least there are some people who are familiar with equipment and the like to be at their disposal. Chen Jian replied, his soldiers do need to rest, don't look at the current one by one still standing here upright, but everyone knows that they are tested to support a belief, once one person can't hold on, then there will be more and more people who can't hold on, and then it's over.

In the end, Chen Jian told Yang Jian some more things and then took people to rest, leaving more than 1,000 people to cooperate with Yang Jun.

Yang Xuan assigned the 20,000 or so people to a city head for every two counties, and then let the 1,000 or so people go into the garrison to rest, after all, they are not needed now.

Subsequently, Yang Jun summoned a county commander to come to the meeting.

"When you are guarding the city wall, you must pay attention to the changes in the rebel camp, pay attention to the changes in the personnel, and whether there are siege equipment. Everyone should seize the time to run in with each other and get familiar with it as soon as possible. I have a plan to defeat the rebels, but before that, I need to use this king as a bait to lure the rebels to attack the city, so Licheng is under a lot of pressure, and you need to contribute more force, don't count on the reinforcements behind, it is estimated that there is no breakthrough blockade to support us, but they are also useful. I hope you can understand the grim situation you are in now, don't be perfunctory, otherwise I will find out that I will not be forgiven, you know?! Yang Jun explained, of course, he didn't forget to warn Liwei.

"Yes! Lord, we promise to do a good job. For Yang Jun, these commanders are still quite convinced, not only because Yang Jun led everyone to break through the blockade and successfully arrived in Licheng, but also because Yang Jun led 500 cavalry to fall into the Pao Ze brothers surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, in their hearts Yang Jun is a good general who really treats every soldier as his own Pao Ze brothers, so they are convinced, even if Yang Jun does not warn them, they will pay attention.

"Alright, let's go back and stick to your posts." Yang Jun said

The main camp of the rebels

"It's been a night, have you found out which army of the Sui court entered Licheng yesterday?" Wang Bo asked again

"I inquired clearly, it should be a coalition army in several places, although they are all dressed the same, but yesterday the West Battalion surrounded a Jibei army, but Jibei definitely didn't dare, and definitely didn't have the ability to make up 30,000 troops, so the small estimate should be the coalition army of several counties in Qingzhou. It's just that they obviously have a commander, but they don't know who this commander is, and it's so powerful. "The young player who ran away last night came to report again, what a sad job, he must have thought so in his heart now.

"Don't know? Terrible? Whoever comes here, don't even think about going out, this is where he is buried. Organize a small-scale attack in the afternoon, test this 'powerful' commander, and see if he is also 'powerful' in defending the city, hum! Wang Bo gritted his teeth and said

It's easy to defend a city, but it's hard to besiege it, but if you don't defend it properly, you can also lose your castle. There are only a few ways to defend the city, such as rolling stones, thunderwood, boiling oil, bows and arrows, catapults, etc., all of which are old-fashioned. But the siege is different, there are water attacks, fire attacks, and even more absolute is the soil attack of the Mongolian iron cavalry. Different castles are besieged in different ways, but the way to defend the city is old-fashioned, and it is easy for the besieging side to find a way to deal with it.

Yang Yong is like a tiger entering the flock in hand-to-hand combat, but in the battle, especially on the defensive side, what will it be? It's also a test.

In the afternoon, after guarding the city wall for a whole morning, everyone felt a little tired and wanted to rest, but the enemy would often appear at a time when you didn't expect it and give you a fatal blow.

"Report ~ Lord Wang, the enemy situation is found in the east, and the commander asks the small one to report to the prince." A soldier ran to Yang Jun's temporary command post and said

"Oh~, is the enemy coming to attack the city? Let's go, let's see. After speaking, Yang Jun took the lead and walked out

"What's the situation?" Yang Jun hurried to the head of the city

"Lord Wang, you came just in time, you see, thousands of rebels are coming towards us, but it seems that something is wrong, why are there so few people? And it's still not slow or tight? Are the rebels so arrogant? A county commander said

"They are here to test us, they want to see what our origin is, and it is estimated that they are also here to test our combat effectiveness, so they will not be slow or tight, who will not take death seriously? Therefore, we must fight this battle beautifully, and buy more time for the defenders of Licheng to rest. Yang Yun commanded, telling his guess to the two county guards.

"Yes, my lord, we will make them regret coming."

Under the city

"Everyone cheered up, and said from above, as long as we go to the city for a turn or two, we can go back to the camp to rest. Those defenders in Licheng have been guarding for more than a month, and they have long run out of strength, rest assured, there will be no danger. Said a small commander of the rebels

"Damn, just turn around twice? Then you have to have a life to come back? Why don't they go? Why are we always the ones who die? "Many people in the rebels are muttering, first, there is no backup, and second, there are no siege equipment, so they really want to attack the city with a few big knives and spears? What kind of defenders have no combat effectiveness, haven't you heard, those people who came yesterday are all Shura from hell, my mother, how can this be fought. Many people were watching to see how they would escape.

"Lord Wang, they have entered our attack range, are we going to attack?" An anxious county commander asked.

"Don't hurry, let a hundred people fire a round of arrows to a place of one hundred and fifty paces, and when they reach one hundred and fifty steps, they will fire with all their might. I will take people down to the gate of the city and wait, and when you have beaten them into chaos, I will take them out and take advantage of the chaos to kill them, and take these people in, and see them arrogant! "Yang Jun is everywhere with his own plans.

"Yes, or the prince is thoughtful." The two conductors admired

After finishing speaking, Yang Yun led the guards and the remaining more than 300 elites to the city gate to stand by.

"All the archers are ready, fire within a hundred and fifty paces in front of the city wall, paralyze the enemy, and lure the enemy deep." One of the conductors gave the order

"Haha, do you see it, I said it, they are already soft, they used to shoot to about two hundred steps, but now it's probably just a white step, don't worry about any danger, we can go into some more and bury them well. Haha, let's go. Seeing that the arrows could not reach them, the three thousand rebels became a little bolder, and swaggered into the range of the archers, but they did not know that they had become a live target, and whether they could escape for their lives was only to see if their character exploded.
