Chapter 178: The First Battle
"It's not surprising, the city is basically our Datang people, even if there are herdsmen, they have been working in the mines, and now the whole Yizhou is busy, and those spies can't get close, which makes the enemy not know our specific manpower.
The situation is unknown, so it is natural to extrapolate according to the past, so they seem to be 50,000 people. Situ Changfeng explained.
"Exactly! Yes, extremely! The analysis of the county guard is too right, according to past experience, 50,000 people are enough to capture Yizhou, but unfortunately they don't know that this time is different from the past, not only are there many more people in Yizhou, but even the people outside the city are all working in the city, even if they want to steal, they can't do it. Zhao Guangren put his mind at ease and looked at Situ Changfeng with admiration and exclaimed.
At the same time, Zhao Guangren was also completely convinced by Situ Changfeng, and compared the two, he tragically found that he had always thought that a smart head was nothing, so he decided to be a general in his duty.
"Big brother! You say how to fight! At the mention of killing the enemy, Bai San's eyes began to redden, a trace of excitement appeared on his face, and the Xuantie Sword was also touched and touched.
"Feiyan leads people to patrol the city, if there are people who plot evil! Kill! Situ Changfeng looked at the dust that had risen in the distance, and ordered without looking back.
"The last general obeys!" Gongsun Feiyan shouted excitedly, and went down to the city tower with a sword.
"Liwan, you take Duhe to organize the people to do a good job of logistics, and organize the doctors in the city to set up an ambulance team!" Situ Changfeng continued to order.
Zheng Liwan and Du He had both been to Taiyuan, so they naturally knew that the ambulance team was such a thing for a while, and the two hurriedly went down to prepare.
"Niu Xiu! Lead the cavalry and be ready to strike at any time! ”
"Zhang Wang, Ma Zhan, Bai San, you and the other three, each with five hundred people to guard the three gates of the east, west and south!
Zhao Guangren, you lead 5,000 troops, and command three captains as a backup! We are always ready to support you.
Luo Huan! Lead 2,000 men on standby for the time being, ready to rotate!
Rotten! Lead 2,000 men to prepare for support!
Yu Chi Baolin, Cheng Chumo, each of you will bring 500 people to the city to guard the first wave of respect. I'll bring five hundred archers to help. ”
Situ Changfeng issued a series of orders, except for the five hundred Xuanshui armor soldiers, the rest were the fire head army, logistics soldiers, and the defenders guarding important points such as granaries.
Everyone received the order, and they all began to prepare busily according to the instructions.
…………
Soon, people wearing all kinds of clothes and no banners approached Yizhou.
When I got closer, I found that the city wall of Yizhou had become higher, and I couldn't attack at all, so I had to retreat slowly, and I was five miles away, and I began to set up camp.
"Hey, hey! So ruled! It is also said that it is not a regular army, at least the leading figures, and it is definitely not a horse bandit! Situ Changfeng said disdainfully.
As soon as Situ Changfeng's words fell, a team of 10,000 people among the horse bandits came straight to the city and stopped a stone's throw away.
"Listen, people in the city! Give food now, or when I enter the city, there will be no chickens and dogs! A bearded man rode forward a few steps and shouted loudly.
"That's a lot of nonsense!" Situ Changfeng muttered, took off the sun-shooting bow, put on the arrow, pulled a full bow, and shot an arrow!
"In not opening...... Forehead! The beard continued to shout, but was interrupted by a sudden arrow from his throat, and he fell headlong down the horse while clutching his throat.
I didn't expect that it was not safe to shoot an arrow, "Brush!" Suddenly, the horse bandits in the front row took a neat step back.
"Hidden arrows hurt! What kind of hero, there are three hundred rounds of fighting! "Someone among the bandits shouted again!
"Humph! If you don't come out, I can still see you! Situ Changfeng's pupils shrank, and he put on another arrow, twisted the bowstring, and shot another arrow.
The people at the head of the city were all paying attention to Situ Changfeng, and they didn't see how the arrows were shot, and when they heard the sound of breaking the air, the person who had just shouted among the horse bandits fell down again.
The horse bandits were frightened at this time, and everyone didn't dare to speak, after all, the person who spoke just now was in front of him.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Situ Changfeng's divine shot shocked the morale of the guards at the head of the city, and they cheered in unison.
The horse bandits were speechless, they didn't know what to do, and they didn't want to speak, and several leaders looked at each other, all wanting others to call the shots.
"Ride and shoot!" A horse bandit general was aroused to be ferocious, and with a big sword in his hand, he commanded the bandits to rush forward.
"Humph!" Situ Changfeng saw the horse bandits' movements, and this time it was not easy to aim alone, so he snorted coldly, grabbed out the arrows, and used the technique of multiple arrows to transport his true qi and shoot twenty or thirty arrows at great speed.
The horse bandits are dense, and even if they don't have to aim, they are all shots, and people fall off their horses one after another.
However, the army will not be frightened by the death of dozens of people, so the horse bandits continue to charge.
These bandits were all Turks, people from the Western Regions, all of them with bows and arrows, crouching on their horses and holding longbows.
"Royal!" Yu Chi Baolin, Cheng Chumo raised his hand and shouted, and the guards around him immediately erected their shields.
"Shoot!" Situ Changfeng also immediately ordered, after all, the head of the city is higher than the ground, so it naturally has the first hand.
"Brush! Brush! Brush! The archers fired straight down at the city, then crouched down.
This has been rehearsed in advance, and after shooting, you don't have to worry about the result, after all, if you want to shoot arrows continuously, you have to risk being shot by others.
Strange and true, as soon as the archers crouched down, the cavalry outside the city galloped sideways, and the arrows rained up and clanged on the shields.
"Shoot!" Situ Changfeng could see clearly from the chopping of the city, and immediately ordered again.
The archer quickly got up and shot the arrow on the string again.
"Ahh Yes! Yes! The cavalry under the city marched around the city, and many people had no way to hide, so they screamed and fell off their horses.
"Collect the troops!" The bandit leader saw that the cavalry shooting was once again futile, so he had to give an order in a rage.
As Mingjin withdrew his troops outside the city, calm returned to the city, and a few unlucky people who were shot by stray arrows were also carried down.
"These Turkic horse bandits, how can they attack and run away!" Cheng Chu said with a wink of regret.
"Huh! You think that the Turks are as brainless as you, and that the city is thick and the walls are thick, and they have to be attacked by cavalry. Yu Chi Baolin sneered.
"It seems that these Turks are also useless to some little white faces!" Cheng Chumo will suffer a loss, and immediately ridiculed him.
"Leave people to guard each door, and the rest go back to rest!" Situ Changfeng didn't care about these two enemies, anyway, they didn't quarrel a few words every day, and they couldn't live their lives, so he turned around and gave orders to the guards around him.
As soon as the order was given, the guards immediately went down to the city, stepped on their horses and went to give orders.
"Uncle Shi, what if the Turks don't attack?" Luo Tong ran up to the city, looked at the cavalry in the distance, and asked.
"These Turks should be thinking of looting in nearby villages!" Zhao Guangren watched the Turks divide into dozens of teams and scatter in all directions, and explained to Situ Changfeng.
