The enemy army of Annam is coming!

Sure enough, I guessed correctly, there were tens of thousands of enemy troops hiding in the jungle, and now they are coming out at night, is it going to attack the city?

"The enemy is coming, everyone is on alert!"

After confirming that the purpose of the fire dragon's approach was in their direction, the herald ran around the city, shouting that the whole army should be on alert.

"Hurry up and inform the marshal, and say that the army of Annam in the north is coming, and it will arrive in the city within half an hour, and the number is estimated to be thirty or forty thousand. Just go! ”

The herald beside him received the order, quickly went down the city, and rushed in the direction of the Shuaifu.

The soldiers on duty at the head of the city, looking at the continuous fires coming out of the jungle in the distance, were extremely nervous, how many soldiers are there, can they survive?

Who knows, every time the Annamite people call, the corpses of the Annamite people are left in the city, and there are many companions in the city who fall beside them, will it be their companions or themselves who fall this time? This is the question that every soldier standing at the head of the city asks in his heart.

Ge Surinaye walked around the city, and from time to time gave the guards on duty a boost, telling them that the people of Annam could not fight, they had never fought for decades, and this time it was the same, no matter how many people they came, the defeat was the same as them, as long as they held the city, the victory must belong to them, and it belongs to the city!

Yes! The Annanites have never won a war with them, although they are sometimes hot-headed to chase and kill the Annanites, but they are ambushed by the Annanites and lose some manpower, but as long as they guard the city gate and stand firm on the head of the city, the Annanites can only suffer death under the city, and if they really dare to come to the city this time, it will not be an exception.

Bundles of sharp arrows were carried up to the city, and bows were distributed to the guards on duty.

This is their life-saving weapon, with a bow in hand, the morale of the city has been greatly increased, the sharp arrows are stringed, and within a hundred and fifty paces, not a single Annamite will come in, dare to approach, and all must lie down.

This batch of bows and arrows is bought by the people of Champa for a lot of money, in the rainy and humid places in the south, the bowstring is not far from the damp, but the way is always more than the difficulty, the surrounding mountains and small countries, many of them live by hunting, everyone hunts, the perennial bow and arrow in hand, has its own special techniques, to solve the problem of the bowstring rain and moisture, and the attack distance is shortened. If you can't spend a lot of money in the city, you will naturally be willing to buy some weapons to defend the city.

The general on duty did not issue an order for the mobilization of the whole city and the whole army, nor did he sound the horn and the power of the whole city to report the enemy attack, his scope of responsibility was only at the head of the city and the city gate, if the enemy army was found, he should be the first to inform the commander, before the commander came, he could still temporarily command, a little master, and when the commander arrived, his task was over, he was the gatekeeper, not the sword to fight.

Commander Xiang Mu Tou soon came, and not only did he come, but he also brought all the generals in the city.

They climbed to the top of the city, looked up, and saw that the fire dragon was still slowly approaching, not far from the city at their feet, and it was estimated that it would not take long to reach the city.

Everyone looked at the striking fire dragon in the darkness, and no one spoke.

The commander gave an order, and a general took over the defense of the city.

The general gave the command, and a loud trumpet spread from the top of the city to the city, and as the trumpet continued to blow, the fires of the barracks in the city quickly lit up.

In a short time, a steady stream of soldiers gathered from all over the city.

They have seen a lot of enemy attacks, and they have been accustomed to this situation for a long time, and they have long been surprised, and every three or five months, and the long point is only a year and a half, and the Annan people will come to harass them once.

As more soldiers stood at the head of the city, the entire border town was impregnable, and the Annan people would also leave some corpses behind as before, and return in vain.

Commander Xiang Mu Tou and the generals stared at the fire dragon in the north for a while in the city, and then turned to go down the city.

Inside the Shuaifu.

"What do you think of the night attack of the Annamite people?" The boss sat at the top and glanced at everyone.

"This attack is very different from the past, I have the impression that the Annan people have never come at night, and when we didn't watch them come out of the woods, this time they came in the middle of the night with torches, I am afraid that there is some big conspiracy." The general replied.

"I think so too, the Annan people are too abnormal this time, I'm afraid they won't be holding back a good fart, we can't be careless this time, don't go out at night, just guard the city." Another general replied.

"Why did the Annan people come in the middle of the night this time? Could it be that they are short of food and can't even wait for half a day? If this is the case, we will close the gates of the city, and we will not fight, nor go out, until they themselves come and die. Another general said.

The boss shook his head and only heard him say: "This time, the Annan people dared to come at night and march in the middle of the night, just because they saw that we didn't dare to go out every time, and they didn't dare to ambush outside the city, so they were so bold this time, and they came to us with torches." They marched in the middle of the night, and the soldiers must have been exhausted, and it was time to go out of the city to meet the attack and teach them a lesson. The vanguard of the enemy army was still three or four miles away from us, and it was not possible to walk fast at night, at least half an hour later, and before the arrival of the enemy's large force, it was time to take the enemy troops outside the city who had been watching us for two days. Who wants to go out of the city and annihilate them all to avenge Mr. Zhang? ”

"Dashuai, is it appropriate to go out of the city at this time? Will it be a hit? Some generals hesitated to ask the questions in their hearts.

The boss smiled: "No, I've seen it before, the enemy army outside the city will not exceed a thousand, take three thousand out of the city, if they haven't left, they can take them all in a quarter of an hour, and before the big battle starts, annihilating a thousand enemies in vain can greatly boost morale, and it will be easy to defend the city." If they are gone, they will be able to return to the city before the enemy arrives, and there will be no losses. Who will take this rare feat? ”

"Dashuai, I'll go!" Hearing the marshal say this, this feat of annihilating a thousand enemy troops was like picking up in vain, and a general immediately got up.

"Dashuai, I'll go!" Almost at the same time, another general got up and offered to leave the city.

Both of them wanted to go, but there was only one merit, and they immediately began to argue.

One of them shouted: "Great commander, it is risky to go out of the city, but it is better to leave more soldiers in the city to defend, just give me 2,000 men." ”

As soon as the other person heard the other party say this, he immediately didn't dare to earn it, and sat down without saying a word.

When the boss saw the result, he smiled and said, "Okay, Morizawa, I'll give you 2,000 people, go and go back quickly." We are here waiting for your good news. ”

The general named Morizawa answered: "Yes, Marshal, you just wait for my good news!" ”

After saying that, he quickly left, and the whole army went out of the city.

The entire city of Cham's defenders was mobilized, and everyone was waiting for orders to counterattack the enemy.

Morizawa came to the north gate with 2,000 elites, and a herald shouted loudly: "The commander has an order, order General Morizawa to go out of the city to annihilate the enemy army, and quickly open the city gate!" ”

The captain of the gatekeeper team was shocked, but he didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and quickly stepped forward to take the token and check it.

After the inspection, seeing that the manager's token was correct, he immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.

The 2,000 elites of the city quickly left the city and attacked the enemy camp outside the city.

When all the 2,000 people left the city, the team leader gave an order, and the city gate was closed again.

After a while, the sound of fighting came from outside the city, although it was a little far away, but it was still very clear in the tense and quiet night.

Every time the blades intersect, it makes people's hearts skip a beat, and every scream makes people's hearts tremble, as if the invisible knives and guns are hurting themselves.

Looking out from the top of the city, about a mile away, there were now fires, and occasionally a figure could be seen falling to the ground, but I didn't know if it was the enemy or my own people.

The defenders at the head of the city, far away from the battlefield, heard the sound of the battle between the Cham army and the enemy army, and one by one began to itch their hands, and they were very envious of those who could go out of the city to fight the enemy army.

Fighting face-to-face should feel very different from standing on the city and shooting arrows downward. Everyone who came back alive from leaving the city would boast about how many he had killed with his own hands, how excited he was when the enemy's spray was on his face, and how exciting the addictive feeling was. But these archers who have been in the city all the year round will not have a chance to go out of the city at all, even if it is all 20,000 defenders, every time the enemy army comes, the opportunity to get out of the city is always a very small part.

I really envy those who can go out of the city to fight, get heads, and get meritorious deeds. Archers can't get heads in the city, they can't get merit, they will always be archers who can't get their heads, and they will never be able to leave this small border city.

Listening to the fighting and screams in the distance, although they were also nervous, they were more likely to be envious.

Almost a quarter of an hour later, the sound of fighting and screaming in the distance gradually disappeared, and the fire was still burning, which must have been the tent of the enemy army.

The elites who went out of the city to kill the enemy head-on, and fought with the enemy in close combat, are about to return.

It is conceivable that when the enemy army retreats, the soldiers of the whole city will take them as an example, and the capital Vijaya will send noble lords to reward them personally, and they will become the heroes of the city, and there will be money and women in the future. What a envy!

The defenders of the city are waiting for them to return, the defenders in front of the city gate are also waiting for them to call the door, and the generals in the marshal's mansion are also waiting for General Morizawa to come back to report the good news.

A quarter of an hour after the battle, they were nowhere to be seen in the city. Two quarters of an hour had passed, and there was still no sign of them in the city.

When the fire dragon in the distance stopped a mile away, the defenders of the city had to believe that the elite who went out had been destroyed! Isn't it normal that there is no sadness or anger in the eyes of the defenders, and they go out and are defeated? Otherwise, why is it the land of the Annamite people a mile away from the city?

Let's be an archer who only shoots arrows in the city, at least you can save your life and eat for a few more years!

The city was even more heavily guarded, and groups of archers raised their bows and arrows to wait for the enemy.

The final reliance of Champa is still on these archers, those so-called elites, they will only be sent to death, and they will only be elites when they are tired of living!
