Chapter 200: Siege by Tricks (1)
Time flies, and the 7,000 reinforcements from Jiannan Road arrived first two days later, stationed in the Fengjia Army, and with the army came a part of the grain, grass and siege and other ordnance materials, which once again strengthened the siege strength of the Fengjia Army outside Yazhou City.
In the following days, the entire Feng family army began to get busy, from the time the sun rose and the earth was bright, it had to be busy until before noon. However, after lunch, there will be a ample lunch break for the whole army, and then the whole army will be busy again from the time of unitary time to the beginning of the day when the sun sets.
In this way, in the busyness, ushered in the 10,000 Fengjia army reinforcements from Hanzhong Mansion, on the day of arrival, even just a short rest, Lin Feng led the generals to do a simple inspection and appeasement and encouragement, 10,000 reinforcements were pulled out again, rushed to the Mengshan area, and accepted Zhuge Cheng's dispatch.
During this period of time, the rebels in the city were not idle, they continued to strengthen the city walls, added patrols and defensive soldiers, and all the defenses that could be strengthened were all in place, and even the generals in charge of various areas would patrol from time to time with their henchmen every day to prevent various sneak attacks by the Feng family's army. However, after a few days, there was no new discovery at all, no matter what the method, the Feng family army had not attacked at all, which made Chen Jingxuan and others in the city very surprised.
However, everyone understands a truth, behind the calm is often the storm, especially in this kind of time when it should not be calm at all, it is necessary to be very cautious, otherwise, a careless city may fall to the end of the city.
And this storm seems to be completely beyond the imagination of Chen Jingxuan and others, because it is not violent at all, and it is completely different from what everyone thinks.
For five days in a row, the Fengjia army launched an attack on the north city wall of Yazhou, but every time it was thunder and rain, and tens of thousands of soldiers were dispatched every time, and even the ballista was dispatched forty or fifty at one time, but each time it was a painless attack for a while, and even the artillery arrows seemed to be a little reluctant to use, but mainly used wooden pole crossbow arrows with the thickness of the arm.
However, there will always be inadvertently replaced with one or two rounds of ballistas to bombard the city, taking the rebels in the city by surprise. Despite this, the rebels in the city actually did not suffer many casualties, especially after figuring out the offensive rhythm of the Feng family's army, they did not dare to relax any longer, and always raised their shields to defend wholeheartedly.
Initially, the rebels in the city would also set up ballistas at the head of the city to counterattack, but after a period of time, they found that not only could not cause substantial damage to the Feng family army at all, but also destroyed more than a dozen of them by the ballista under the city. Subsequently, the ballista was naturally withdrawn, so as not to lose the treasure that destroyed one and lost one in vain.
In the past five days, the Fengjia army set off from the barracks at dawn, cleaned up the battlefield before noon and returned to the camp, and the time of the day was on time, and there was never a situation of arriving early and arriving late, leaving early and leaving late.
On the sixth day, the rebels who climbed up to the top of the city early to wait for the attack stood with their eyelids drooping and worried until the sun fully rose, and they did not find the Feng family army, which had always been punctual. Painfully holding the shield and defending for a long time, until before noon, that is, when the Feng family army retreated, everyone could not see a single shadow, except for the land under the city that was about to be scorched.
This sudden change also caught General Wang a little off guard, and after personally leading his henchmen to command the rebels to change shifts and defend, he simply ate some dry food at the head of the city, and then cheered up again and personally inspected the defense of the city wall, and at the same time served as the duty of pacifying and reminding the rebels.
Until the sun overhead is no longer so hot, and the rebels who have been exposed to the sun for two hours have long been drowsy, the rebels in the city who are responsible for observing the situation blew the horn of vigilance, and there is a weakness in the melodiousness, which seems to be suppressed by the heat of the temperature, and the horn sound always seems a little dull, as if it cannot penetrate the suppression overhead, and the dull horn sound is accompanied by the heat of midsummer, entering the ears and hearts of every rebel.
In the distance, after a comfortable nap, the Feng family army finally came late, compared to the sluggishness of the city, from the two scarlet battle flags fluttering in the wind and grinning at the front of the Feng family army under the city, it can be seen that this is an elite full of spirit.
Then, as usual, two miles away from the city, the army stopped and unhurriedly set up its formation, followed by a series of crossbow carts placed in front of the array, and two rows of crossbow formations were formed.
However, unlike usual, after today's crossbow array was arranged, he did not immediately start attacking the city, but waited quietly in place, as if he had no intention of attacking the city at all, and even Lin Feng, who came in person, also talked and laughed with the people around him, as if he was not in front of the two armies at all.
"Master Hou, will this posture remind the group of turtles in the city half a month ago? Ha ha.. Yin Bo pointed to the crossbow array dozens of meters away in front of him, and leaned back and closed on the horseback with a smile.
"Haha, Chen Xiao'er's turtle! I guess it's time to be angry again! Li Xiaofeng interjected with a smile at the right time, causing a group of pro-soldiers around him to laugh, and even the army not far behind him began to be gradually rendered, and they all laughed and discussed various topics that could belittle the rebels.
"I guess! It's good if Chen Xiao'er isn't in the city, but if he happens to be in the city, it's probably time to think about the letter again! Ha ha! Lin Feng also laughed on the side, laughing with everyone, even the soldiers who were in charge of controlling the crossbow cart, who only set up a formation and did not attack in advance, also gathered together in groups of three or five, pointing at the city head, and from time to time they would let out unbridled laughter.
"If you want me to say it! Chen Xiao'er will definitely go to the city today! Even if it's not right now, I'll have to come later! Li Xiaofeng smiled and stretched out his hand to point to the city wall, and then began to express his analysis to everyone: "You want to! Today we suddenly changed our tactics, Chen Xiao'er, can he stay in the city with confidence? Anyway, if you want me to see, Chen Xiao'er will have to go to the city wall sooner or later to see the situation! ”
Sometimes, things in the world are so coincidental, and I don't know if Lin Feng's luck is too good, or Chen Jingxuan's luck is too bad. Because of the abnormality of the Feng Jiajun today, Chen Jingxuan couldn't sleep at all in the afternoon. All afternoon, I tossed and turned in an irritable mood, and finally waited until the weather became cooler, and my mood was a little calmer, and I was just about to take a break, Chen Jingxuan was also startled by the dejected horn sound at the head of the city.
Soon after, Chen Jingxuan, who was neatly dressed, learned the specific news from the mouth of his own soldiers, and after thinking about it for a while, he called his henchmen and guards, went out of the house and got on his horse, and rushed towards the city.
