Chapter Forty-Six: Continue North
"Drink!"
In Dongliu Town, a small courtyard surrounded by green willows kept coming from a burst of cheers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
I saw that in the courtyard, Qin Liangyu, who was wearing a tight-fitting samurai uniform, was constantly moving and dodging in the courtyard, and the silver spear in his hand turned into a little light and shadow to draw gorgeous gun flowers in the air, and the strong wind raged in the courtyard.
"Pedal Pedal ~"
At this moment, a middle-aged man in armor walked into the courtyard from the doorway.
"General!"
When he came to the courtyard and looked at Qin Liangyu who was heroic in the field, a hint of pampering flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man is the second-in-command of Dongliu Town, Zhou Guozhu, the deputy general of the white pole soldiers, was originally a servant in Qin Liangyu's family, and he watched Qin Liangyu grow up since he was a child, and Qin Liangyu was like his own daughter in his heart.
"Uncle Zhou, is there anything urgent here?"
Seeing Zhou Guozhu coming, Qin Liangyu stopped the silver gun in his hand, took the wet towel handed by the maid beside him, wiped the sweat on his forehead, put on a red cloak and asked, with bright red cheeks, he was extremely beautiful.
Although the two are called master and servant, their relationship has always been very good, and Qin Liangyu has always been commensurate with Uncle Zhou Guozhu.
"General, according to the report of the spies, Sima Yu has led the army to defeat and subdue the barbarian army outside Yigang Village!" Zhou Guozhu arched his hand and reported respectfully.
"Oh! It was expected, but I didn't expect the disciple to win so quickly! Qin Liangyu's expression did not show surprise, or thought of something, and said with a little disgust.
"General, the alliance between my Dongliu Town and Qilin Town has expired, this time the army of Qilin Town poured out of the nest and went to Yigang Village, why didn't our army take the opportunity to send troops to capture Qilin Town in one fell swoop. According to the spies, Qilin Town is full of all kinds of materials, and tens of thousands of sets of ordnance and armor in the treasury are huge, if we can capture Qilin Town, the strength of Dongliu Town will definitely increase greatly."
Looking at the coquettishness on Qin Liangyu's face, Zhou Guozhu couldn't help but move, and asked instead.
"Uncle Zhou, the rise of this Qilin Town is rapid, and the disciples of Naden are extremely cunning, taking advantage of the fact that we are at war with the Thirty-two Village Alliance, they took the Sixteen Villages of Daxi in one fell swoop, annexing nearly 100,000 people, and after these three months of digestion, it has now increased its strength greatly. That Wang Yanzhang and Wang Yantong are the famous generals of Houliang, and there is no one in my Dongliu Town, and the 5,000 soldiers have also become so elite under their training, and now the strength of Qilin Town is not comparable to my Dongliu Town. Even if the Naden disciple has led the army out, there are still 500 garrison camps in the town, and they are not a rabble. If our army wants to attack Qilin Town, if we can't fight it, we will definitely be fiercely suppressed by Qilin Town in the coming day, why should we provoke such a big enemy for such a thankless thing."
Qin Liangyu shook his head when he heard this, and when he said Sima Yu, he was even more angry.
Naden disciple was lucky, and all good things happened to him.
"However, general, even if our army doesn't attack Qilin Town, why not take this opportunity to take thousands of war horses in Chengshui Village" Zhou Guozhu was still puzzled.
"The training of cavalry is not a short period of time, and I don't have a general who is good at training cavalry in Dongliu Town, and it will take a long time to become an army, so the disciples will not give us such a long time."
"Uncle Zhou, now the most important time for us is to pay attention to the battle in Luzhou from time to time, once the Great Western Army is defeated in Luzhou, all the forces along the coast will be exposed to the Qing army," Qin Liangyu said worriedly.
At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners was too strong, but more than 10,000 Eight Banners Iron Cavalry beat the nearly 100,000 troops in Luzhou City to the ground.
"Yes, General!"
"Woo~"
"Kill!"
"Ahh
At that time, the sky was not yet bright, and with the sound of whimpering horns, the sound of killing outside the city wall of Xiangjiazhen was already shaking the sky.
Under the city wall, countless barbarian soldiers of the Aoshan tribe once again set up an unusually rudimentary ladder to attack the city wall, and the Xiangjia army on the city wall continued to lift stones and rolling logs to smash the barbarian army below.
After months of continuous fighting, the city wall of Xiangjia Town, which could not be completed for about a zhang, was already dilapidated, and the battlements on the city wall had been dyed dark red, exuding a strong bloody atmosphere.
During the months-long siege, more than 3,000 Xiangjia soldiers and nearly 6,000 Aoshan warriors had fallen under the walls.
"Uncle, today's barbarian army is attacking more and more fiercely!"
On the city wall, looking at the surging barbarian army below, Xiang Pet frowned tiredly.
"yes, it looks like something has probably happened, otherwise these barbarians wouldn't have attacked so desperately"
Xiang Lang Wenyan nodded, and said with a solemn expression.
On weekdays, although the offensive of the Aoshan tribe army is fierce, it will not be as full of them as today.
At the beginning of the war, the Xiang family army would be happy to see such a situation.
Because such a dense army attacking the city will only become a target for archers, and any shot can hit the enemy.
However, now that the arrows in the town have long been exhausted, they can only watch as the army of the Okushan tribe launches such a dense attack.
"These damn brutes, why do they keep staring at me Xiangjiazhen!"
Xiang Chong on the side stared at the barbarian army below and said viciously.
In the continuous war, the potential of Xiangjia Town has been exhausted, and the elite of Xiangjia Army has also suffered heavy losses, and most of the existing 2,000 garrison troops are just recruits who have not been recruited for a long time, and with a little training, I am afraid that they have lost the qualification to compete for hegemony along the river.
In this regard, Xiang Chong and others were extremely aggrieved in their hearts.
Until now, the three brothers Xiang Lang and Xiang Pet in the town have not figured out why this barbarian army outside the town is so obsessed with Xiangjia Town.
In fact, Xiang Lang didn't know that the patriarch of the Aoshan tribe, Anengda, was eliminating dissidents in this way.
He constantly sent tribesmen who did not obey him into battle, which could not only use the hands of the Xiang family army to destroy his opponents, but also consume the strength of the Xiang family army, and finally he led the army to break through the town of Xiangjia in one fell swoop, bringing back enough rations and supplies for the tribesmen, and establishing his position in the tribe in one fell swoop.
It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes!
Anenda, who had been going well before, is now in big trouble.
With the long-term siege of Xiangjia Town, some people in the tribal army have begun to be dissatisfied with his command.
At the same time, last night he had received a report from his cronies who had fled back that his son Amuza had been killed by the Han army, and what frightened him the most was that the Han army general who was rumored to have killed his son was the barbarian king, and the witch Alensang had led thousands of troops to surrender to the barbarian king, and this barbarian king would soon lead the army to come.
Therefore, before dawn this morning, Anenda began to urge all departments to attack, and even the elite of his descendants were sent out by him.
Now, his only way out is to break through Xiangjia Town, and with the power of a big victory, he may be able to barely stabilize his position. Otherwise, once the barbarian king led the witch Alen-san to come, he might soon fall into a situation where everyone would betray his relatives.
Just as the army of the Aoshan tribe was storming Xiangjiazhen, in the mountains and forests northwest of Xiangjiazhen, an army of black armor and swords and halberds was slowly coming in the direction of the battlefield.
