Chapter 661: Desperate Situation in a Lonely City

Shuo Tuo smiled slightly, stroked his beard very reservedly, and did not care about Aobai's sarcastic words.

As soon as Aobai's words stopped, he shouted loudly: "Aobai, why bother saying such sarcastic words!" Tell you, this king has been commanded to come to you today, and he does not want to talk nonsense with you. The king has only one thing to say to you, and that is that if you wish to surrender, he will save you and all your men as much as possible before the regent, but you can rest assured. ”

"Fuck you! Don't fool me with such! Tell you, Lao Tzu was born as Prince Su's person, and died as Prince Su's ghost, how could he lick that Dorgon's groove shamelessly like you soft bones! Ao Bai raised his eyebrows angrily, and scolded loudly: "Shuotuo, you fucking bullshit, you have the ability, let the horse attack the city, grandpa, I am waiting for you to attack it!" ”

Seeing that Aobai was so strong, Shuotuo shook his head with a wry smile, he paused slightly, and then sighed again: "Aobai, you have also seen that our army has besieged the city with heavy troops, and your troops have fallen into a desperate situation, so what does it mean to force this battle of tongues?" You and your subordinates have only 3,000 soldiers and horses, and they are guarding this small county seat of Fuxian, and the city is small and the walls are low, how long can you resist? Do you really think that our army will only sit under the city and do nothing? Aobai, this king reads that you are my first warrior in Manchuria, and finally advises you to recognize the situation as soon as possible, do not force yourself to fight with the sky, or turn back as soon as possible, and lead the army to surrender, so as to save the lives of your subordinates, and also find a way for yourself to survive. “

"! Damn, you are talking so much nonsense. Ao Bai became furious, he patted the pheasant and shouted: "Shuotuo, if he has the ability, come to fight, don't be crooked like a girl!" What if you have a lot of soldiers, if Lao Tzu is afraid of an incompetent person like you, he will fuck Wang Basheng! ”

Aobai's vulgar and presumptuous words made Shuotuo, who was bent on persuasion, finally burst into flames in his heart, and he couldn't help but scold: "Wow, Aobai you, you don't go, there is a way in heaven, you don't go, there is no door to hell, you come here, okay, since you are determined to seek death, then the king will fulfill you!" You wait, and when our army has built the siege equipment, then we will come and attack the city together. This king will cut off the head of your dog with his own hands, and then go to the regent to return his life! ”

"Wow, I'm waiting for you to get this big good head." Ao Bai grinned, still with a contemptuous look on his face: "However, I'm afraid that you don't have much ability, and when the time comes, not only will you fail to destroy our army, but you will lose your own life and become the laughing stock of the world." ”

After Ao Bai finished speaking, the soldiers next to him laughed together, Shuo Tuo stared at the blood-red eyes, seeing Ao Bai and the others rampant and proud in the city, the anger in his heart was difficult to describe in words.

Hmph, worship you bastard, and don't be complacent, let you live for a few more days, until the siege is ready, when the time comes, this king wants you to live, you can't die.

Shoto angrily pulled out his horse and turned around, and galloped back into the middle of the line. He immediately ordered the whole army to grab a large number of people nearby, let them assist the craftsmen in the army, and seize the time to build siege ladders and siege carts as soon as possible.

At this time, Hauge's eldest son, Qi Geshun, silently came to the north gate of the city, and he looked at the distant backs of Shuo Tuo and others, his face was very solemn.

Seeing Qi Geshun coming up, Ao Bai hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects.

Qi Ge Shunxu helped him up and asked softly: "Commander Aobai, the enemy army is strong, have you ever thought of a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" ”

"Young master, but rest assured, there is me worshipping here, this Fuxian county, he Shuotuo will never have the ability to take it!" Ao Bai patted his chest and assured loudly.

"It's just that the enemy army is so powerful, and the strength of our army may be ......insufficient," Qi Geshun's voice was hidden in hesitation and timidity.

"Young master, you don't have to worry, although the strength of our army is limited, they are all battle-hardened elite soldiers, and they are all favored by Prince Su, and they are all willing to serve their death. In this Fuzhou county, our army will definitely be able to defend itself as impregnable. When Ao Bai said this, he lowered his voice and said: "Besides, Ben General has already sent another sentry horseman, and he hurried to Lushun City in the south to ask for help from the Tang army. If the Tang army can come in time and attack with our army inside and outside, it will definitely be able to break through the troops and horses of Shuotuo's troops, solve the dilemma of recovering the county, and finally get out of the siege smoothly. ”

Hearing Aobai's words, Qi Geshun's face relaxed a lot. Afterwards, Ao Bai comforted him a few more words, and then arranged for someone to take him down to rest.

Looking at the back of Siegshun leaving, Ao Bai frowned.

Ao Bai knew that although he comforted Qi Geshun like this, to be honest, whether he could not be eliminated by Shuotuo and whether he could keep this small Fuxian county seat, in fact, he really had no bottom in his heart.

Because the disparity between the enemy's and our forces is too great, as long as Shuoto's siege equipment is created, it is too difficult for these 3,000 defenders with cavalry to finally resist the violent onslaught of tens of thousands of Shuotuo's army, and it can even be said that it is an impossible task to complete.

The only chance to win is actually the sentinel cavalry sent by himself, which can attract the Tang army in time and smoothly, so that he can defeat the soldiers and horses of the Shuotuo army in the way of internal and external attacks.

Ao Bainan looked at it and let out a long sigh.

I hope that my wish can be fulfilled.

In the extreme concern of Aobai, the two sentry riders hurried all the way like crazy, day and night, and finally arrived outside the city of Lushun after a day and a night of horseback running.

The two sentinels, who were so tired that they were unable to speak several times, were about to fall off their horses, but they were quickly discovered by the Tang patrol sentinels, and after understanding their intentions, they were immediately brought into the city of Arthur.

At this time, Lushun City was garrisoned by the fifth town of the Tang Army, and the battalion commander was Ma Xianglin, the son of Qin Liangyu.

Originally, after the land of Lushun was defrauded by Li Xiao, he planned to arrange Qin Liangyu's first town B battalion to garrison it, but considering that the land of Shandong is now directly facing the huge pressure of the rogues, only the strength of the first town A battalion is left, and there are many shortcomings, so it was finally decided that the C battalion of the fifth town, which was originally stationed in Sakhalin Island and Hokkaido, temporarily took over the defense of Lushun City.

Ma Xianglin's soldiers and horses of the fifth town of the C Battalion, not long after they entered Lushun, received a secret report from the Security Division, saying that now the Qing court is infighting, Dolgon has taken Hauge, Sonny was forced to commit suicide, and forced the commander of the protector army to worship Ao, Gushan Ezhen Yang Shan, with Hauge's eldest son Qi Geshun, fled all the way south, wanting to come to join the Tang army in Lushun City.

Getting this news, Ma Xianglin was very happy and wanted to slap his palm.

Is there better news than the infighting and slaughter in the Qing court?

He knew that he was afraid that Haoge would eventually lose in this Qing court infighting, but the Ao Bai Department led his troops to flee, which would definitely give the Qing court a huge and heavy blow. For the Tang army, the more chaotic the Qing court, the more beneficial it was to itself. What's more, having such a strong elite army of soldiers and horses to take refuge in him is tantamount to adding wings to the Tang Army.

Therefore, Ma Xianglin immediately ordered the Tang army outside the city to pay close attention to the surrounding situation, and if the Qing army came to surrender, it would be introduced immediately.

When he saw these two dusty and tired sentinels who could hardly speak, the joy in his heart was indescribable.

When he finally learned from the mouths of these two sentinels about the predicament that Aobai was in now, Ma Xianglin was taken aback, he never expected that such a change would happen when Aobai was about to reach the boundary of Jinzhou.

Almost without hesitation, he immediately ordered the whole army to go out and immediately march north to urgently rescue the soldiers and horses of the Aobai Army.

Therefore, in the city of Lushun, only two teams of spearmen and shield soldiers, as well as a few auxiliary soldiers were stationed, and almost the entire C battalion of soldiers and horses were dispatched, and they hurriedly marched north to relieve the siege of Fuxian in Aobai.

On the official road from Lushun to the north, the Tang army of more than 8,000 people was like a long steel dragon that could not see its head at a glance, and it was very imposing.

Ma Xianglin ordered that the whole army could only rest for three hours a day, and it was necessary to act as soon as possible, and arrive at the city of Fuxian before Shuotuo began to attack, so as to relieve the siege of Aobai.

It's just that Ao Bai led the army to join and was trapped in Fuxian, after all, the incident happened in a hurry, and the whole army was extremely time-consuming, not to mention that it was not easy to maintain the overall action along the way, and when the whole army marched to Fuxian and dozens of miles away, the sky was already dark, and the soldiers were already sleepy and tired, and it was difficult to move, Ma Xianglin had to order the whole army to camp on the spot to rest, and wait until tomorrow to start to continue the march.

Ma Xianglin calculated clearly, if Shuotuo wanted to attack the city, he was afraid that it would take at least a week to prepare siege equipment, so if he hurried to Fuxian tomorrow, it should be completely in time.

Only, will things really go the way he thinks?

The next day, when the earliest rays of morning light rose, all the defenders at the head of Fuxian County were awakened by the terrible sound of conch trumpets and the shouts of soldiers like a tide.

Ao Bai, who was lying in the city, also woke up from his sleep in an instant, and he hurriedly rushed out of the door, and there was an urgent report from the guards: "Lord Protector, the enemy forces outside the city have moved, and they are attacking the city from all sides!" ”

Hearing this, Aobai's heart ached like a pinprick.

Okay, this guy Shuotuo was ready to attack the city in three days, so fast, he really caught himself off guard.

But I don't know if the reinforcements of the Tang Army are coming now, or where are they going......

Aobai's heart was chaotic, but he had to bite the bullet and order his subordinates to prepare to defend the city immediately.

Looking at the long siege ladders, like densely stretched out tentacles, constantly leaning towards the city wall, looking at a number of crash cars and cars covered with iron sheets, they were shouted by a large number of enemy troops, squeaked and pushed to crash open the city gate, and bowed to the heart, nervous to the extreme.

"The whole army obeys the order, and desperately wants to defend this city!" Ao Bai drew his sword and roared hoarsely.

But he knew that the enemy's strength was so great and the offensive was so fierce, if the Tang army could not arrive in time, then what was waiting for him would only be......

Ao Bai didn't have time to think carefully, and the enemy army, which was dense like ants, had already crossed closer and closer, and was approaching the moat.

"Shoot the arrows, put them forward! Shoot these dogs! Ao Bai cheered up his soldiers loudly.

The defenders at the head of the city, all of them had faces full of fear, but they were ordered by the main general to immediately start to act, and they all set up bows and arrows, full of moon, looking at the Qing army on the bank of the moat, and shot away.

In the face of this pouring rain of arrows, the Qing army besieging the city seemed to have been prepared, they quickly dispersed their formation, and many of them freed their shields to quickly resist the flying arrows.

Speaking of which, Aobai's subordinates were originally cavalry who were accustomed to fighting in the wilderness, and they were temporarily changed to infantry defending the city, which was quite unaccustomed. In terms of organization and coordination, no matter compared with the real garrison infantry, the following continuous arrows obviously began to be chaotic, and the accuracy and efficiency were greatly reduced.

The defenders at the head of the city threw seven more rounds in succession, and finally everyone ran out of strength and could no longer shoot their bows.

Seeing that the defense at the head of the city was weakened and the Qing army at the moat was greatly boosted, they let out a beast-like cry, and accelerated the speed of the siege.

Siege ladders quickly crossed the emergency pontoon bridge over the moat, roaring towards the city wall, they approached like centipedes that would crawl automatically, and the hooks of the ladder heads, the battlements at the head of the city, leaned firmly against the head of the city.

Once the siege ladder was fixed, the swarms of the Qing army immediately went up the ladder like ants on a tree, and attacked the city head.

Seeing that the arrows of the defenders at the head of the city were gradually extinguished, the Qing troops who pushed the carts to attack the city gate had no scruples, and they tried their best to speed up their advance, and brought the huge and heavy carts to the direction of the city gate, and the Qing army began to lay wooden planks on the moat to make a simple pontoon bridge, ready to transport the carts across the river, and then go to crash the city gate suspension bridge.

At this moment, the Qing troops who climbed up from the upper edge of the siege ladder were already one step faster, and they jumped to the top of the city one after another, and immediately slashed and killed the defenders who had begun to panic like fierce beasts.

The Qing army's offensive was extremely ferocious, and it almost instantly gained the advantage, forcing the infantry of Aobai, who had been temporarily changed from cavalry, to retreat again and again, and from time to time some soldiers fell screaming.

"Hold on! Resist! Gotta kill these bastards out of town! ”

Ao Bai roared loudly, and he took the lead in slashing and killing two Qing soldiers who rushed over one after another, intending to arouse the chaotic defenders with his own courage and perseverance, which was getting lower and lower.

At this time, standing far away from a stone's throw to the north, watching his own soldiers continue to pour into the city from the clairvoyant mirror, and began to gain more and more obvious advantages, the face of Shuotuo, the commander of the Qing army, was overflowing with joy.

Hmph, worship you, I don't know whether I live or die, I fight with the sky, and now I know how powerful this king is!

This king is now attacking with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and you have only 3,000 troops, and you are an infantry temporarily converted from cavalry, how can you compete with our army. Even if you are known as the No. 1 warrior in Manzhou, and you can twist a few nails, I am afraid that if you count another hour, you will be wiped out, and the county seat of Fuxian will completely fall into the hands of our army.

The smug Shuotuo would never have thought that just when he thought that he was holding the victory, in the south of the county seat of Fuxian, where he could not see at all, from the horizon, a dynamic metallic light suddenly shone. ()
