Chapter 325: One Hundred Thousand Army
Two days later, the enemy army organized another attack, but after the arrow array was suppressed, before the front army siege troops approached fifty zhang, they heard the sound of Mingjin withdrawing troops resounded through the four fields, and nearly 10,000 enemy troops quickly withdrew like a tide and retreated a mile away.
In such an unexpected situation, the generals of the Xuanwei army were puzzled, why did they suddenly withdraw their troops before the attack was launched? Has something happened to the enemy?
No matter what happens, as long as a stalemate is formed, it will be a good thing for the Xuanwei army.
The enemy retreated, but the city defense did not dare to relax in any way, and the surveillance of the enemy army did not relax for a moment, but the distance was too far to see what happened in the enemy camp a mile away.
After Yang Congyi heard this, he quickly climbed to the top of the city, observed around the city for a week, and could also see what was wrong with the sudden retreat of the enemy army, and instinctively told him that it was impossible for the enemy army to retreat at this point, perhaps it was brewing a big move, so he ordered the defenders of the city to stick to their posts and not be careless.
In the afternoon of the same day, the armory was opened, and the bows and arrows in it were carried up to the city, and three bows and a hundred arrows were stacked on each person's side.
That night, in addition to the 200 people who guarded the granary, 200 people who guarded the armory, and 100 people who took care of the government office, the Xuanwei army and the rest of the people, including Liangshan Qingzhuang, all pulled up to the city.
Although everything outside the city was the same, everyone in the city felt as if a big battle was coming, and the atmosphere was more tense and oppressive than ever.
The generals, like ordinary soldiers, also felt an unusual aura in the air, and they could never touch what it was.
It was dark, and the lights on the city were lit to illuminate the moat under the city, and the living water was flowing slowly, and a gust of wind passed by, sparkling.
The defenders of the city looked out into the night outside the city from the battlements, and the local military camp not far away was also lit up.
"Look, their barracks are on fire!" Suddenly, a soldier shouted, a little gloating excitement.
"The fire is like that, you see the fire, there are still a few lines, I don't know if don't shout." Someone next to him opened his mouth to correct him.
"The fire on their side last night wasn't so big, but tonight it's all big and boundless, isn't it on fire?" The soldier raised his hand and pointed.
Without waiting for the man to reply, he continued: "Not only the front, but also the other side, you see if there is a flash of fire, I guess it must be that they are going to burn everything around in this fire." ”
The man on the side hadn't replied, and he was about to say something more, when he heard a loud roar coming from not far away, and his heart tightened, and he immediately lifted the bow in his hand.
"All on alert! Enemy attack! ”
This was the order of the battalion commander Yuan Hua.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
........
The shouts spread rapidly from the north of the city to the west and east of the city along the head of the city, and in less than half an hour, they spread throughout the four cities.
Yang Congyi, who was inspecting the south of the city, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, but could not see any signs of enemy attack.
If there is an enemy attack, it will be north of the city!
After thinking about it for a while, he immediately sent an order: "The original troops at the south gate will not move for the time being, and pay close attention to the movements of the enemy forces outside the city." The rest of the people support the North Gate and the West Gate! ”
The guards received the order and quickly stabilized the morale of the troops.
Yang Congyi quickly rushed to the north of the city with the personal guard battalion and Qingzhuang.
The firelight outside the north gate is spreading little by little, one, two, three, four, five...... In less than half an hour, the firelight expanded endlessly, and there was nothing but the firelight in front of everyone's eyes.
The firelight was the only thing in the eyes of Xuanwei Jun and Liangshan Qingzhuang, and after shouting several "enemy attacks", at this moment they finally knew what kind of attack they were going to face, this was a kind of force that they couldn't fight against, overwhelming, and seemingly endless!
How many people are there!
Everyone who stood between the battlements of the city and looked out into the distance could not help but think about this question, and they were shocked by the endless light of the fire.
The same goes for Yuan Hua and Su Zhong.
No one has ever seen 100,000 people appear in the same place, and Yang Congyi is the same.
Thousands of calculations, I didn't expect the enemy to appear in this way, and the powerful forces were completely displayed in front of the Liangshan defenders without reservation, the balance of strength was extremely different, who was strong and who was, it was clear at a glance, if you didn't go, you would die, whether you would defend or go, almost no need to think.
All this time, no one told the soldiers of the Xuanwei Army and Liangshan Qingzhuang that they were going to face hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, and if they knew, they might have run away a long time ago.
The enemy hasn't attacked yet, and it's not too late to run!
As soon as the thought moved, a young man shouted: "Run!" As he spoke, he dropped his bow and arrows, and ran down to the city.
Yang Congyi had seen hundreds of thousands of people, and so many people appeared at the same time, which made his heart tremble for a while. 100,000 people, even if people step on people, they can easily walk on the head of the city more than two zhang high, and Liangshan City cannot be defended!
From the moment he saw the boundless firelight, the word "mantis arm as a car" instantly jumped into Yang Congyi's mind, and he immediately doubted the decision to stick to Liangshan City, and the meaning of retreat appeared in the depths of his heart.
But when the sound of "run" sounded on the city, Yang Congyi suddenly woke up, connected the dots under his feet, stepped forward in a few steps, jumped behind the man, drew his sword and slashed at his head and neck.
The sword falls, the head falls, all in one go.
As soon as everyone was startled by that shout, before their brains turned or their feet moved, they heard a "poof" sound, and a heavy object fell to the ground.
"The enemy is under the city, and the city is in the people! Whoever dares to run away will be killed! Yang Congyi was full of dantian qi, and with a shout, the sound shook for a mile.
"We have been holding out for many days, and tonight is the time for a decisive battle. We have a strong city, a heavy defense, plenty of bows and arrows, a veteran soldier with rich combat experience, even if the enemy army is as numerous as ants, can he break through this city with flesh and blood, if they dare to do it, they are the only ones who will be destroyed! The whole army inspected the weapons, and they must be told to come and go, and turn the outside of Liangshan City into their cemetery! Defend Liangshan and swear to destroy the enemy! Yang Congyi raised his sword and shouted.
The entire city was originally quiet, and no one else's voice could be heard, and after Yang Congyi's words fell, the city fell into a deathly silence.
"Defend Liangshan and swear to destroy the enemy!" Su Zhong suddenly broke the silence and shouted.
Dozens of people behind him immediately responded: "Defend Liangshan and swear to destroy the enemy"
Hearing the sound of harmony, Su Zhong shouted several times again: "Defend Liangshan and swear to destroy the enemy!" ”
The soldiers behind him shouted, and the surrounding Xuanwei troops gradually began to respond, and after shouting a few times, everyone within a hundred meters joined in, the same slogan, the same voice, uniform, and majestic.
The shouts spread rapidly from near the north gate to the east and west gates, and soon spread throughout the four gates of the city, and no one knew about it.
With the incessant shouting, all the fear in everyone's hearts was taken away by the waves of air that erupted from their mouths, and only the desire and courage to fight against the enemy remained!
Half a quarter of an hour later, the soldiers were desperately shouting, their strength was exhausted, their voices began to be hoarse, and they were somewhat tired.
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Yang Congyi hurriedly stopped, his physical strength was still reserved to fight against the enemy, and there was no reason not to do anything in such a big battle tonight.
From the north gate, the shouts gradually disappeared, and the city gradually returned to calm, but the hearts of the soldiers were hot, and the passion in their hearts was ignited, which was difficult to extinguish.
Looking at the sea of fire in the distance, Xuanwei Jun and Qingzhuang's eyes were full of eager desire to fight.
"Keep an eye on the enemy and attack directly within range!" Yang Congyi looked at the sea of sparks that seemed to be beginning to move, and gave orders to Su Zhong and Yuan Hua.
The two of them shouted yes.
Subsequently, Yang Congyi ordered the guard battalion and Liangshan Qingzhuang, who were waiting under the city, to stand by here, and he quickly rushed to the west of the city with dozens of people.
The terrain in the north of the city is open, and the enemy army is coming, and the north side is the first to bear the brunt, and the pressure is the greatest, and the terrain in the west of the city is also wide, and it is not a problem to gather twenty or thirty thousand people, and the defensive pressure near the west gate can also be imagined.
As soon as Yang Congyi arrived at the West Gate, Liu Shi greeted him and asked, "Prison Army, what's the situation over there?" Are you going to attack the city tonight? ”
"Possibly, get ready. What is Simon's morale? "Looking to the north, it is also a large sea of sparks, fortunately, there are mountains in the distance to the west, and it is not as shocking as looking north in the north of the city, even so Yang Congyi is a little relieved.
Liu Shi said loudly: "There is no problem, the morale of the soldiers is high, they dare to come to death, so they will not come back!" ”
Yang Congyi raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and then said, "Don't be careless, the army that has retreated from Fusui should all go south, and it is likely that the city will be attacked tonight." As soon as you sense the enemy approaching, you can start a counterattack directly, and you must block the enemy under the city to block the first round of attacks. I will coordinate between the north and west of the city, and if I can't support it, send someone to inform me in time. ”
Liu Shi hugged his fists and said: "Yes, please rest assured that the last general will defend the West Gate even if he fights hard!" ”
"Okay, I'll leave the west to you!" After Yang Congyi finished speaking, he accompanied by Liu Shi and patrolled around the West Gate for about a quarter of an hour. explained the defense of the city gate, and bluntly said that it was best to completely block the city gate.
Then, Yang Congyi returned to the north gate again and ordered the north gate to be sealed.
Li Yue's army is all concentrated in the valley in the north, and at the first order, it will swarm to the south, and the north will be the main direction of the enemy's attack, and the east and west will be the enemy troops stationed one mile away, and the enemy troops in the south will have to turn if they want to attack these two gates, and change the formation and direction of attack at night, which is almost impossible, so the attacks on the east and west gates will not be greater than the previous ones.
Looking at the flickering sea of sparks in the north, Yang Congyi's mind turned, and he put himself in his shoes and meditated, if he was in the place where the enemy camp was at the moment, leading an army of 100,000 to attack Liangshan City, which was guarded by thousands of people, how would he attack the city?
The disparity in power is too great, more than thirty times, close to forty times, and even if you add the young and strong people who are temporarily recruited, the difference in power is more than ten times.
With this kind of strength to crush the other party, there is no need for any strategy at all, and if the forces are put out, the defenders of Liangshan City will have to find a way to escape immediately, otherwise they can only wait to be trampled into meat sauce. If the other party insists, how can the two-zhang high city block the charge of 100,000 troops, the three-zhang wide moat, the flowing water can also be crossed, the cloud ladder erects the wall, climbs up, and the Liangshan City goes down in an instant.
"Tell the whole army to put out the lights!" Yang Congyi's heart moved, and he immediately ordered loudly.
