Volume 2 Conquest and Killing Chapter 146 The time is ripe
On the side of Anzhou City, the heavy snow for three days stopped on the fourth day, and once the line of sight became clear, King Yu began to worry, after all, Xia Tang and Xiliang were eyeing each other.
During these three days, King Yu rearranged the defense of Anzhou City, and all the soldiers who could fight guarded the city gates on all sides, and the distribution of troops was handed over to Shen Yongnian and Ou Luyang, He Yunke, Geng Yan and Peng Anze; The wounded soldiers were all placed properly and handed over to the people of the Rouge Organization to take care of them, and Ling Feiyan and Si Heng also joined in to help; The grain and grass of the whole city were handed over to Xuan Shaoning to take care of it, and Duan Lang assisted him as a deputy.
Through careful inventory, Xuan Shaoning was surprised to find that all the remaining rations in Anzhou City were only enough to last for ten days according to the minimum daily allocation standard per person. When he told King Yu about the situation, King Yu also frowned, but he still rejected Xuan Shaoning's initiative to go out of the city to find rescue.
Back at the wounded soldiers, Xuan Shaoning saw that several more wounded people had passed away and were carried out, and he wanted to go to see Rouge happened to meet Si Heng who was feeding the wounded to drink water, and what he was holding in his hand was the gourd given by Xuan Shaoning.
"Si Heng, can you drink the tea soup I gave you before?"
"Come, Shaoning, help the handle change his position together."
After the two of them properly placed the wounded soldiers, Si Heng lame and carried the gourd and said: "Drink it, when I gave it to me, I said that this was a tea soup specially made by rouge, and I took a sip of it and it tasted really good." ”
"That's good, it's not in vain that Rouge specially reminded me."
"Oh? Does Rouge tell you to let me drink it? ”
"That's not it, it's not just you, she has prepared a lot of copies, you are one of them, I'm just worried that you have wasted some of your rouge mind."
"Am I that kind of person? Look at what you said! Besides, you attach so much importance to Rouge's heart, you ......."
"Alright, it's time for you to continue taking care of the wounded, and we'll talk later."
Xuan Shaoning hurriedly said goodbye to Si Heng, he didn't know what he was afraid of, he told himself in his heart that Rouge was just a sister, and he already had a heart.
Looking at Tang's side again, Wu Yuyu waited for three days, and finally when the weather cleared, he ordered the crossbowmen to get ready. Coincidentally, Bei Chunkang came to find Wu Yu out of boredom.
"I said, Tuojung, it's the fourth day, when are you going to wait? The time hasn't come yet, if you don't come again, then let my Xiliang warriors create it for you, what's the matter with waiting! ”
If it weren't for the cooperation between the two countries, Wu Yushu would have started to get rid of the bad guy in front of him a long time ago, regardless of whether he was one of the nine kings of Xiliang, but because of the face of the Khan King, he could only endure it.
"Lord Wang, many times the opportunity is waiting for it and not created by yourself, if the time and place can be created, then what is there to fight in this battle, as long as you get out of the horse, isn't it immediately calm?"
Bei Chunkang also didn't read the irony in Wu Yu's words, but asked seriously: "According to this, is the time come?" ”
"Lord Wang, you just have to wait and watch a good show."
"Hey, our Xiliang warriors have never liked to pick up military exploits for nothing, we have to rely on our own knives and guns to fight for it!"
"Oh? Well, there will be a chance for you Xiliang warriors. ”
After Wu Yu finished speaking, he turned over and rushed out of the camp tent to the front line, and Bei Chunkang naturally immediately followed. When he arrived at the frontline position, Bei Chunkang found that the crossbowmen of the Lower Tang Dynasty had lined up, and carts of green fireflies were transported to the rear of the military formation.
"This? Do you plan to completely burn down Anzhou City with feather arrows? "Bei Chunkang can see what these people are going to do, but he doesn't understand what Wu Yushu is doing, if he can rely on Qingying to burn down Anzhou City, why would he have gone earlier?
"Lord Wang, I've already said it, just sit back and wait for the show to start, I don't want to repeat this for a third time!"
Wu Yu's words were cold and piercing, and Beichun Kangnu stopped talking.
The Lower Tang Army was prepared for two hours, and by the time the people, feather arrows, and green fireflies were all in place, their intentions had already been seen through by the defenders of Anzhou City.
"General, that ghost fire is not easy to deal with." Shen Yongnian was a little worried, after all, he had seen the power of this ghost fire before.
King Yu always felt that the purpose of the Tang people was not only to let the ghost fire burn in Anzhou City, if this was the case, they could have done it a long time ago, why wait until now.
"I'm a little worried that they have another plan, and it will definitely not be as simple as attacking with fire." King Yu couldn't guess the plan of the Tang people, so he could only strictly order all the soldiers to prepare for a hard battle.
Wu Yu was in the middle of the army, and he saw the figure of King Yu at the head of the city, although he couldn't see it clearly, but he firmly believed that this person was King Yu.
"I have carefully prepared a gift, and I hope you will definitely accept it!"
Wu Ji ordered the horn flag to shake, and the crossbowmen immediately fired wave after wave of feathered arrows into the city of Anzhou.
"Defense!"
The guards immediately raised their shields, and after all, the castle was made of solid rock, but the castle was almost entirely made of wooden houses, and if it was shot by a feathered arrow, it would be set on fire immediately. King Yu had earlier arranged for a fire-fighting force to be responsible for extinguishing the fires in the city. However, this time King Yu miscalculated, and this firefighting force will soon lose its original role.
The wounded soldier is far away from the battlefield, so judging by the range of the feather arrows, it is impossible to reach here. But everyone who was at the wounded knew that the combined forces of Xia Tang and Xiliang had attacked again.
Xuan Shaoning pulled out Junwu and planned to go to the battlefield, but Rouge grabbed him.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of myself."
"Brother Xuan, promise me that I will come back safely."
"I promise you!"
Xuan Shaoning patted Rouge's shoulder with his hand, turned around and left, Duan Lang and Xing Gang also followed behind, Ling Feiyan and Si Heng also planned to join but were rejected by Xuan Shaoning.
"You dislike me for being lame!"
"Si Heng, you are indeed injured, I am worried that the enemy will attack from other sides, with you and Scarlet Yan here, I am not worried here."
"I understand, don't worry, with us, we will ensure the safety of the wounded and rouge!" Ling Feiyan immediately realized Xuan Shaoning's intentions.
Xuan Shaoning nodded gratefully at the two of them, turned around and joined the firefighting team.
This firefighting team is mainly composed of left guards, and the leader is Miao Wei. After the first wave of enemy attacks, a row of houses near the south gate had begun to burn, and these cyan flames were flying very fast, and as if they were alive, little by little the fire cores would drift in the wind in search of targets.
"It's burning over there, quick!"
Under the command of Miao Wei, a small group of left-rank guards threw the prepared sand and soil towards the place of fire, according to the experience of fighting in Donghu, water could not be used to deal with this cyan flame, and sand was a sharp weapon to extinguish ghost fires.
However, it is very physically demanding to carry sand, so Miao Wei divided the fire extinguishing team into two parts, one part of which was to carry the sand with all his might, and the other part of each person carried the sand to the scene to extinguish the fire. Although the sand is effective against the green firefly, the amount of sand is limited after all, and the enemy is still attacking, often the fire on this side has not been extinguished, and the fire on that side has risen again.
The firefighting team was busy, and everyone was exhausted. Miao Wei has been thinking about how to change the status quo, but there are not many soldiers in Anzhou City, and King Yu can no longer allocate more troops to help extinguish the fire.
"Everyone work hard, once the fire starts, it will be our dereliction of duty!"
Miao Wei was about to rush into the fire with two bags of sand on his back, but found that the soldiers who rushed to the front appeared strange, what kind of abnormality was it? Miao Wei couldn't believe his eyes.
