Chapter XVI: Enemy Attack
When the little guy entered the city, Jiuhuang looked at Xiao Si standing in front of him, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart. I don't understand how Xiao Si, who is beside Qin Jue, came to Yuzhou to find himself.
"Jean never asked you to come?" Jiuhuang asked suspiciously.
When Xiao Si heard this, he said to Jiuhuang: "Go back to the county lord." The little one was ordered by my son-in-law to come and ask if the county lord could still count the matter of letting the son join in the recovery of Jingzhou. ”
Hearing this, Jiuhuang's face couldn't help twitching, and he asked tentatively: "Qin Jue asked you to come to Yuzhou to find me at night just to ask me about it, right?"
Looking at Jiuhuang's eyes full of thin wings, Xiao Si nodded and said, "Yes." Childe asked me to come to the county lord to ask the county lord about this. ”
Jiuhuang couldn't help but stumble when he heard Xiao Si's words, and then heard Xiao Si say: "But my son-in-law also asked me to tell the county lord that if the county lord doesn't want my son-in-law to come, then my son-in-law has to be cheeky and break into Yuzhou City."
The corners of Jiuhuang's mouth twitched when he heard this, but he was also happy because Qin Jue was able to suddenly figure it out and come to the army.
Jiuhuang looked at Xiao Si and said, "Go back and tell your son-in-law, you don't need to break into the city gate, let him come directly to Yuzhou, and Jiuhuang will definitely go to the city gate to greet him personally."
When Xiao Si heard this, he then bowed to Jiuhuang and said, "The county lord said this, and I will bring it back to Yu Gongzi."
Then Xiao Si said: "There is another matter, and the son asked me to take the county lord."
Seeing Xiao Si talking again, Jiuhuang looked at Xiao Si with puzzled eyes, and didn't know what else Qin Jue had to tell her.
"My son-in-law asked the county lord to send troops to inspect the gate of Yuzhou City tonight, it is best to let the army alternately guard the city tower, and the Batu army may attack Yuzhou City at night!"
Well? Xiao Si's words made Jiuhuang's good-looking phoenix eyes narrow, and she wondered in her heart that Qin would never let Xiao Si pass on her words? How did he know that Batu would attack Yuzhou City at night tonight?
Although she has had a few contacts with Qin Jue, according to Qin Jue's reputation in the rivers and lakes, Jiuhuang believes that Qin Jue will not let Xiao Si spread the word to her like this for no reason.
It must have been him who used his own methods to learn about Batu's ambiguity, Jiuhuang's heart sank, if Batu came back tonight to attack Yuzhou, then it means that the reinforcements had already been known by Batu.
And they only learned about the reinforcements today, and Batu was able to make a sneak attack so quickly, so he must have known about the reinforcements before them.
Jiuhuang was shocked in his heart, and then solemnly said to Xiao Si: "Thank you for me, your son-in-law, when he comes to Yuzhou, Jiuhuang will definitely thank him."
Xiao Si saw that he had completed the task given to him by Qin Jue, and heard Jiuhuang say this, Xiao Si said goodbye to Jiuhuang and said, "Then I will go back to my son!"
Jiuhuang nodded, watched Xiao Si out of the Yuzhou city gate, and ordered the soldiers guarding the city, so that they must strictly defend the city gate, and after the two teams exchanged duties, they got on the horse and rushed to the general's mansion.
When Jiuhuang returned to the general's mansion, the discussion had just ended, and the generals were preparing to leave and make their own preparations.
But I heard Jiuhuang tell Xiao Si that Qin Jue told her about the enemy army's sneak attack on Yuzhou tonight, and said it in another way.
After hearing Jiuhuang's words, all the generals stood there stunned.
Mu Kun asked Jiuhuang out loud and said, "Is what the county lord said true?"
Mu Kun had already believed Jiuhuang's words in his heart, but he still asked with a hint of uncertainty.
Jiuhuang nodded and said: "Qin Jue Gongzi is famous in the rivers and lakes, although he has been hidden for ten years, but he will not pass on military information indiscriminately, not to mention that he will arrive in Yuzhou to join the army in the near future."
Hearing the name of Qin Jue, although no one present except Jiuhuang has ever seen Qin Jue's true face again, let alone contacted him.
But they have all heard of Qinjue's reputation, and they don't know how they don't know the ruthless son who was once thunderous in the rivers and lakes.
Su Ran heard Jiuhuang's words, and after a while, he spoke up: "It seems that we must immediately gather the army in the city to defend the city gate."
After hearing Su Ran's words, Mu Kun also thought in his heart that the method he had just discussed was about to advance.
It's just that Batu's sneak attack tonight was so abrupt, which also made Mu Kun and the others feel very hasty.
Mu Kun looked at the crowd: "The generals listen to the order, and Yumu is now leading all the troops and garrisoning the city gate in batches."
Yumu, who was standing on the side, responded to the military order and said, "Yes"
Then Mu Kun said: "Cheng Wei took someone to check whether the bow and arrows and weapons were in good condition."
Cheng Wei also responded: "Yes"
"Mon Khan led the archers to guard the tower!"
"He Ping led a thousand elite soldiers to guard the city gate!"
"Huang Ni led the soldiers to guard the city tower with stones, in case the enemy army took the ladder to the city tower when the enemy attacked."
"The owner of Su Shaozhuang is responsible for pacifying the people in the city when the enemy army is coming."
"Uncle Nan and I are in charge of all emergencies."
"As for you, the county lord, the old wounds on your body have not healed, so you will stay in the general's mansion and do urgent things to respond."
After Mu Kun gave the order in one breath, everyone left to sit and prepare for defense.
That night, when the enemy army was in Yinshi, there were four generals who led 30,000 Batu troops to rush all the way to Yuzhou.
In Yuzhou City, after Mu Kun's high-speed adjustment, Yuzhou City has been defended as firmly as a copper wall and iron pillar.
Simo led Batu's 30,000 elite soldiers to Yuzhou five miles away, and looked at the high tower of Yuzhou City standing only a few soldiers of the Heavenly Dynasty guarding the city, and couldn't help but feel happy.
Then he ordered the 30,000 troops behind him, divided into small groups and small groups of men and horses, and approached the gate of Yuzhou City.
On the city tower, Mu Kun and Nan Ming have been paying attention to the movements outside the city, looking at the faintly floating figures in the distance, Mu Kun's heart suddenly burst, and he said to the Celestial Dynasty soldiers on the city tower: "Cheer up, the enemy army has come." According to the previous preparations, ready to shoot at any time. ”
Batu's 30,000 troops under the leadership of Simo have all approached the city gate, waiting for Simo to order a team of men and horses to take a ladder to climb the Yuzhou City Tower.
Suddenly, a rain of arrows fell from the sky, shooting Batu's elite soldiers.
Caught off guard by the sudden situation, Simo ordered the Batu soldiers to use their shields to resist while blocking the rain of arrows that were shooting down.
After a rain of arrows, Yumu's words came from the city tower, "Simo Xiaoer, grandpa, I've been waiting for you for a long time, why do you just want to sneak attack my Yuzhou city with a few people like you Batu!"
The sarcastic words came into his ears, and Simo raised his head to look at the Yuzhou City Tower, and the person standing next to Yumu was Mu Kun, the vanguard general of the Celestial Empire.
And on the tower of the city, there were rows of archers from the Celestial Empire, and when they heard what Elm Mu had just said, Simo knew that his sneak attack had been learned by the Celestial Empire, and he had already taken precautions.
After eating twice in front of the Celestial Empire and not starting the fight, he had already lost the secret loss of his soldiers, how could Simo endure this breath.
Thinking that since he led the troops, he had never suffered such a big loss like Zhang twice, so he only heard the four models proudly say: "The sneak attack on you and my troops is enough, the little Celestial Dynasty generals, dare to say wildly, Batu's elite soldiers, rush to the city tower to kill them."
The 30,000 Batu elite soldiers brought by the four models were only left with more than 20,000 soldiers after a rain of arrows in the Celestial Empire just now, and when they heard this, they rushed to the city wall of Yuzhou and climbed to the city tower with a human ladder.
Chen Wei had already led a thousand elite soldiers of the Celestial Empire to ambush the city tower with stones, and when he saw Batu's soldiers climbing the wall with a human ladder, he ordered the soldiers to smash the stones at the enemy troops who climbed the wall under the city tower.
The soldiers who climbed the wall began to climb the ladder in waves after falling down.
The rows of archers of the Celestial Empire army on the tower of the city continued to shoot arrows at the bottom of the city, and the slingers also kept throwing stones under the tower.
Looking at the miserable scene in front of him, the Batu soldiers who were surrounding Simo hurriedly said while resisting the rain of arrows that were falling down: "General, we should withdraw, and all 30,000 soldiers will be buried here!"
Simo looked at the situation on the battlefield under the sanitation of the soldiers, and saw that his side was already in danger, and there were only a few thousand of the 30,000 elite soldiers left.
These 30,000 soldiers were carefully selected for him by Bass in the Batu army, and before leaving, he also promised Bass that he would complete the mission without dishonoring his mission.
But he didn't expect that now he not only failed to complete the task, but also suffered a secret loss from the Celestial Empire again, and lost so many elite soldiers in Batu.
Seeing Simo spit out a mouthful of blood, the soldiers guarding him immediately stepped forward to support him.
"Tell all the soldiers to retreat!" In desperation, Simo could only open his mouth and say to the soldiers who were supporting him.
If he doesn't leave, maybe not only all the Batu troops he brought will stay here, but even he may stay here. For Simo, who is now very clear about the situation, even if he can't bear this big loss in his heart, he does not hesitate to open his mouth and order.
Nan Ming's eyes can be said to be like watching the fire, and his grasp of the battlefield is very old, and after hearing the order of the soldiers led by the four models under the city tower, he suddenly understood the intention of the four models in his heart.
However, Nanming still has some admiration for the four models, Batu often came to the border of the Celestial Empire, and Nanming also fought with the four models.
Although Simo has a brutal personality, his shrewdness on the battlefield is not beyond the reach of ordinary people.
For this, Nan Ming still has a lot of respect for Simo, maybe because he also grew up from the bottom, after all, he also had a lot of respect for Jing Yu who could lead him into battle.
In addition, Jing Yu promoted him back then, and he had the grace of knowing him, so Nan Ming was very grateful to Jing Yu. It's just that Jing Yu died in Jingzhou ten years ago with all his subordinates. And now he is no longer a general.
