Chapter 204: Crazy, Crazy
This is the only way out for Zhang Xianzhong at present, and it is also the time for him to give it a go, the 80,000 army will attack from the three city gates at the same time, and this time he will take this small Ye County at all costs.
Mao Wenlong noticed the abnormal behavior of Zhang Xianzhong's army for the first time, and after sending someone to investigate, he learned that the damned Zhang Xianzhong was actually going to attack the city at all costs.
Haoda and Haoxiao asked very nervously: "Chief soldier, why don't we send troops now?" ”
Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment, but sighed and shook his head: "No, it's not time yet, Haoda, you personally take someone to run and bring a message to Chen Jisheng, so that he must arrive in the afternoon, otherwise he will be severely punished." ”
Haoda hesitated for a moment, then turned away helplessly.
"Chief soldier, what should I do?" Yu Haoxiao's face was dazed.
Mao Wenlong said coldly: "Send a letter to the city immediately and tell them to hold out until the afternoon no matter what." ”
"Yes!" Haoxiao was also ordered to retreat.
Hong Chengchou slowly came to Mao Wenlong's side and said faintly: "Is it so important to kill the enemy and teach a lesson?" ”
Mao Wenlong did not hesitate at all: "Any enemy who dares to come to attack my Ye County is unforgivable." ”
Hong Chengchou glanced at Mao Wenlong, shook his head helplessly and left on his own.
He had already seen that Mao Wenlong had made up his mind, and no further persuasion would have any effect, so he wisely chose to remain silent.
Here, Mao Wenlong has just made arrangements, but Zhang Xianzhong over there has already begun to attack the city on a large scale.
The dense crowd flocked to Yexian County like ants, and the sound of killing shook the sky!
The general who presided over the defense of Yexian County was Chen Qiyu, who was ordered in danger, and his four henchmen. Chen Qiyu is indeed a general, and he has also done a good job in defending the city. But in the face of overwhelming power, all schemes lost their luster.
Chen Qiyu, who was on the city tower, looked at the rebel army surging like a tide in front of him, and this time his face changed greatly. The letter sent by Mao Wenlong, he had already read it, and there was only one task, and he had to defend until the afternoon no matter what.
Facing the enemy army, which was several times his size and desperate, Chen Qiyu felt great pressure for the first time in the past four days.
"General, what shall we do?" Chen Qiyu, one of his subordinate generals, stepped forward to ask.
Chen Qiyu's face was full of bitterness, but he said firmly: "Success or failure is here, as long as you resist the first wave of attacks of these rebel armies and reduce their sharpness, you will be able to do much next." ”
"What the general said is very true, but the equipment that can be used for defense in our city has been almost depleted these days. There was very little left to use, and it would be difficult to fend off such a frantic attack. ”
"No matter how difficult it is, you must withstand it for me, don't be afraid of sacrifice, as long as we can hold out until the afternoon, the general army will come with a large army." Chen Qiyu shouted to four subordinates who had little confidence.
At this point, no one dared to squeak anymore, the four subordinates had already understood Chen Qiyu's thoughts, and they would never flinch, in short, they were scared!
"General Chen......"
A shout came from below the castle tower.
Chen Qiyu and one of his subordinates turned around to look, only to see Chen Lan escorted by the four mansions to the bottom of the city tower.
Seeing Chen Lan, Chen Qiyu was slightly startled, he hurriedly flew downstairs, knelt in front of Chen Lan on one leg to salute. Chen Lan took a step ahead of him and said coquettishly: "General Chen, don't be polite, and there is no need to be so thoughtful in the emergency etiquette of the situation." ”
Chen Qiyu didn't say much, he hurriedly persuaded: "Madam, the war is about to break out here, you better go back to the city quickly." With me Chen Qiyu here, I will never let any enemy lie on the city wall. ”
Chen Lan smiled with a relieved smile: "General Chen's ability is beyond doubt, I came here this time to send things to the general, not to make trouble for the general." ”
Chen Qiyu was suddenly puzzled, only to see Chen Lan instructing the four mansions to pull the two or two carriages behind to the front. The carriage was covered with oilcloths, and Chen Lan personally went down to lift one of the oilcloths, pointed to the contents and said, "This thing is called the fierce fire oil tank, and it is a sharp weapon for defending the city that Xianggong treasured before. I heard that the general was troubled by the lack of equipment to defend the city, so I sent this thing to you, hoping to help the general. ”
"Fierce Fire Oil Tank?" Chen Qiyu didn't remember what it was for a while.
Seeing Chen Qiyu's puzzled look, Chen Lan was slightly startled, and she quickly asked the Fuding to take one out for Chen Qiyu to see.
Seeing this, Chen Qiyu suddenly became ecstatic. This fierce fire oil tank has been used on a large scale since the Song Dynasty, and it is definitely a weapon for defending the city, and it is also a weapon of mass destruction.
"Thank you, ma'am, this thing couldn't have come at a better time." Chen Qiyu swept behind Chen Lan again, and he immediately found that there were more than two carriages, and there were actually four cars parked behind.
Chen Lan saw Chen Qiyu's happy and excited expression, and knew that this thing should be very useful, so she was also relieved. Then she left everything to Chen Qiyu to use, and she hurried back to Mao's mansion to wait for news under the escort of Fu Ding.
Chen Qiyu was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to count how many fierce fire oil tanks there were. All six carriages were slowly loaded, but after a count, there were two hundred, no more, no less.
Without any hesitation, Chen Qiyu immediately distributed all the things and placed them on the city tower. Placed at a distance of five meters, this thing was definitely his last support.
After hastily arranging these, Chen Qiyu found that the enemy army had approached the city less than 100 meters away. As soon as he gave the order, all the archers were immediately in place, there were not many bows and arrows, and he was still ready to save them, but now that he has a fierce fire oil tank, there is naturally no need to save them!
"Shoot!" Chen Qiyu roared.
The archers, who had been on standby for a long time, immediately released their arrows, and in an instant, the bows and arrows that covered the sky rained down on the enemy's position.
The enemy army, which was already in a dense formation, was suddenly subjected to this rain of arrows, and the casualties increased dramatically. But this time, the enemy did not flinch, and the army that was supervising the battle in the rear was driven forward, braving the rain of arrows.
"Shoot! Shoot again! The expression on Chen Qiyu's face became hideous.
Three rains of arrows in a row caused more than half of the enemy's forward troops to be killed or wounded. However, Chen Qiyu's bow and arrows had all been used up.
The rain of arrows was gone, and the rear of the enemy army immediately followed, while the front army had already rushed under the city wall and began to build ladders and climb up the wall.
Chen Qiyu watched the enemy's attack coldly, but he no longer made any reaction, and even ordered the soldiers on the defensive, all of whom were replaced with big knives and prepared to kill the enemy.
And those archers are beginning to turn into operators of the fierce fire tank, they are completely in position, just waiting for Chen Qiyu's order to deal the biggest blow to the enemy.
