Chapter 237: Immovable as a Mountain
Although the courtyard is small, the courtyard wall is not low, Lan Ziyi stepped on the long bamboo ladder, and every cloth made the bamboo ladder tremble back and forth.
Of course, the unsteady soles of his feet made Lan Ziyi panic, but there were many sergeants climbing the stairs with him, and there were many soldiers downstairs waiting for orders.
For a moment, Lan Ziyi's mind had a sweet and greasy resemblance like smelling an incense burner, and now Lan Ziyi's battle in Shouchun City was just like this wobbly bamboo ladder.
But Lan Ziyi can't allow this kind of shaking military spirit in his mind, if Lan Ziyi is shaken, how can he lead these tens of thousands of brothers under his command to survive from the chaos of the army?
Lan Ziyi climbed on the roof and lay on the tile, the form in front of him was shocking, there were fires in all directions, within the range of Lan Ziyi's vision, there were thieves and officials and soldiers fighting in all the alleys, shouting and killing in the distance, as if the whole city was full of thieves, Lan Ziyi's officers and soldiers were just a flat boat in the ocean, and the darkness that became a piece of darkness with the night was the thieves themselves, and Lan Ziyi would swallow them at any time.
Seeing such a scene, the first thought that came to Lan Ziyi's mind was to lead the troops to break through,
The thieves are ambushing in the city and robbing the camp in the middle of the night, and the preparation will not be sufficient, so as long as the Jihu camp is concentrated, it will be easy to break out.
But if the thieves are not fully prepared, then why should Lan Ziyi and his officers and soldiers be afraid of these thieves?
Thinking of this, Lan Ziyi had a flash of inspiration in his mind, he carefully observed the surrounding several alleys that were fighting with the bandits, although the thieves were menacing, but the thieves in all directions were not fighting with the officers and soldiers at the same time, and some people had already been injured at the streets where they fought earlier, and some people on both sides of the streets had just started fighting.
Seeing these Lan Ziyi's restless heart gradually calmed down, if the thieves can't even attack at the same time, it means that the thieves don't have anyone to command this attack in a unified manner, the horn sound I heard just now is not the thief giving an order, but the thief is sending an attack signal, so I think about it, the thief is not a planned attack, it is very likely that there is some unexpected situation that forces the thief to take the initiative to attack.
Lan Ziyi looked at the soldiers blocked together on the street, although the soldiers were panicked by the sudden attack of the thieves, but they did not collapse, after handing over the thieves, all the soldiers gradually found their feelings, and now they are slashing with the thieves.
Although the soldiers were brave, because the area where the station was located were all residential houses, and the houses were surrounded by small alleys, the team could not be used, and the sergeants in the back could only wait for the casualties in front to go up, while the soldiers in front were tired from the battle but could not retreat to rest.
Seeing this, Lan Ziyi turned around and shouted to the soldier next to him who was about to ask for the next order:
"Pass the order! Let the brethren all take bows and arrows and go up to the roof, and huddle together like this, just add oil to the oil pot, and when will it be a head? Leave a few rows of people in front to hold the mouth, let the brethren rotate down, don't block people in front and send a row of people to death! ”
When the sergeant heard this, he immediately shouted to the bottom of the ladder,
At this time, Lan Ziyi's effect of mobilizing the people and horses one step earlier appeared,
Although the soldiers were chaotic before the thieves came to attack, they had already found their own ranks, and they were just busy preparing supplies, so they were busy.
Although the sergeants were surprised after the thieves came to attack, the generals at all levels had already established contact.
Now Lan Ziyi gave the order, and the sergeant passed the order on, and the whole sergeant around was under the shouting of the officer, or found a ladder or simply climbed the city wall with his bare hands, and then took the bow and arrow handed by the brother below and began to shoot.
Although the soldiers have just moved into the house, they have to find food, drink and tools, and they are quite familiar with the yard.
The soldiers who came to the house began to aim with their bows, trying to shoot the thieves.
When there were more people in the upper room, the soldiers leaning on the back room simply threw bows and arrows in the general direction, and the dense rain of arrows fell in the narrow alley, and the thieves who were crowded together were shot by flying arrows even if they were protected by armor.
The officers and soldiers who stayed in front of the alley to fight with the thieves were still using the short soldiers they carried with them to fight hand-to-hand with the thieves at the beginning, at this time a large number of soldiers went to the room to make way behind them, and the soldiers behind them took the spears and even the cavalry with long lances, and the soldiers in the front row had long soldiers, and they didn't have to take turns to rest, as long as the spears were resisted, and then a few people took short soldiers to protect them from being sneak attacked, and the soldiers just used the terrain to defend the mouth of the alley, anyway, the rain of arrows behind them was shot one after another. Stunned, rushed to the front, and if you were not sure, you would be injured by mistake.
Lan Ziyi was no longer lying on his stomach at this time, but was standing on the roof to observe the surrounding situation.
The soldiers riding on the high place condescended and fired arrows at the thieves from several directions, and the charging thieves could only be shot with their eyes open after being blocked by the long-handled weapons of the officers and soldiers.
These thieves did not carry shields, and some of them did carry bows and arrows, but there were not enough of them, and the officers and soldiers could not take advantage of them.
Lan Ziyi originally estimated that the thieves would adjust their offensive and occupy the vacant houses around them to shoot at the officials and soldiers.
The thieves did begin to retreat under the rain of arrows from the official army, but to Lan Ziyi's surprise, the thieves did not withdraw from the range of the bow and arrows to reorganize the formation, but the people in the back row retreated first, and the people in the front row abandoned their armor and began to turn around and flee.
The sergeant next to Lan Ziyi said:
"Look at it too! The thieves are fleeing! ”
Lan Ziyi nodded and did not answer.
The thieves fled, indicating that there was no backhand behind these thieves, and there was no command behind them, so this attack of the thieves could only be an emergency attack launched by the thieves.
In this way, the thieves can only take advantage of the chaos to hit the morale of the officers and soldiers, but they can't threaten the officers and soldiers who have been organized, and Lan Ziyi was also frightened just now, so he had a faint trick in his head, but he just held on for a while and reversed the situation.
Some of the thieves fled east to the south street of Shouchun, these thieves had already escaped the range of bows and arrows, slowed down to breathe, but in the dark street in front of them came the crisp sound of horseshoes knocking bricks,
As soon as the thief at the head looked up, he saw a cold blade swinging up from the bottom to the top, and before he could scream, his face was cut in two from his chin.
Then the war horse appeared, and the muscles on the chest of the strong horse knocked the thief who had become a corpse to the ground, and then rushed into the crowd of thieves.
Behind him, the dozen or so cavalry patrolling the city came out with him, rushing into the already frightened thieves and slashing indiscriminately.
There were more than 30 thieves running this way, and more than a dozen people were knocked over by horses in front of them, and then the remaining thieves were cut down to the ground before they even had time to block it.
At this moment, a crisp charge, the engagement was short and bloody, and in the blink of an eye, only blood remained on the ground.
Lan Ziyi squinted his eyes and saw that the figure of the person charging in front was Tao Zhuhu, and he was overjoyed, not only because Tao Zhuhu led his troops to come back, but also because his eldest brother came to his side and made his heart completely steady.
Lan Ziyi turned around and was about to get down the ladder, and shouted in his mouth:
"Don't let go of the arrows! That's my big brother! Let him in! ”
After the peach chased the tiger and trampled a fallen thief in front of him to death, he also shouted loudly:
"Don't let go of the arrows! I'm a peach and a tiger! Own! ”
There were cavalrymen who came to think that they should be their own people, but the soldiers were in chaos, and they were attacked by thieves, and everyone didn't care, and the officers and soldiers sitting on the room drew their bows and aimed at the cavalry who came forward, and they didn't dare to slack off at all.
Tao Zhuhu took a dozen cavalry soldiers under his command to break the thief and slowly drove the horse to the front of the sergeants and took off their helmets.
Lan Ziyi hurriedly got down from the house and ran out of the garden quickly, and the peach chase tiger had already urged the horse to come to Lan Ziyi from the narrow alley.
Tao Zhuhu didn't have time to salute Lan Ziyi, so he turned over and dismounted and said:
"Young master, when I was patrolling in the south of the city, I found that there were thieves in an ambush in an inn, and this group of thieves couldn't kill me, so I blew the horn after I couldn't kill it."
What Tao Zhuhu said confirmed Lan Ziyi's thoughts just now, the thieves did rush out of the latent state because of an emergency, and the number of thieves in the city was not large, and the siege launched by the thieves to the garrison just now was repelled by Lan Ziyi, and he was no longer able to launch a sustained offensive against Lan Ziyi.
Lan Ziyi looked at Tao Zhuhu, and then looked back, and didn't see Tao Zhulu coming, so he asked:
"Big brother, where is the second brother?"
Tao Zhuhu replied:
"Erlang broke up with me halfway and didn't know where to go.
But I don't worry about him, he can deal with this little thing. “
Although Tao Zhuhu said it easily, Lan Ziyi knew that Tao Zhuhu said it to his own relief, and now there are no thieves everywhere in the city, there are definitely not many people in Tao Zhulu and his party, how can he not worry, Tao Zhuhu is the eldest brother, and he cares for the little brothers, he is the one who is most worried
But now is not the time to talk about this, Lan Ziyi needs to lead his soldiers before finding Tao Zhulu.
Lan Ziyi asked Tao Zhuhu again:
"What about the other patrolling teams? I sent out to call them all back, have you seen the people I sent out? ”
Tao Zhuhu shook his head and said:
"I didn't see the people sent by Weihou, as for the other patrols, I found that the thieves entered the inn by mistake because of a team patrolling the southern city, and the lurking thieves were alarmed, and this patrol is all gone, as for the rest, it's hard to say."
Lan Ziyi sighed when he heard this,
At this time, Li Guangzhong was squeezing through the crowd from the other direction, Lan Ziyi looked back and saw that Li Guangzhong was covered in blood, and it seemed that he had fought a tough battle with the thieves just now.
Li Guangzhong hurriedly saluted Lan Ziyi and said:
"Fortunately, the Marquis of Wei let us pull out of the camp and get out of the city, and the soldiers all got up from their beds, otherwise we would have been completely finished when the thieves attacked us just now."
Lan Ziyi shook his head and said:
"I'm still a step late, if I had strung together the causes and consequences earlier, I wouldn't have let the soldiers into the city."
At this time, Li Guangzhong said:
"Weihou, our people have been gathered, and the thieves have also been repelled by us, so let's take this opportunity to get out of the city as soon as possible."
As soon as Li Guangzhong's words fell, a voice came from the courtyard:
"We can't get out of town right now."
