Chapter Seventy-Six: Ten Thousand Arrows Shoot
The first said that Fang La's side planned to take Pingjiang Mansion, and today 20,000 horses and horses under the leadership of Fang La's general Pang Wanchun came to the city.
"General, General. In the emergency military situation, a large number of soldiers and horses came from outside Pingjiang City to surround Pingjiang City on all sides. The military advisor has ordered the gates to be closed, and I have come to report it. A soldier shouted outside the door of the Goshid place.
Gao Shide, who had been sleeping very comfortably, was awakened by the shouting sound outside the door, his eyes were hazy, and he was about to have a seizure. However, Duan Siya, who woke up earlier, was calm, pushed his body and persuaded him: "This herald's tone is so nervous, and the military advisor is not a reckless person, it must be that the situation is extremely serious, and the husband is very important to deal with major matters!" ”
The wind blowing in his ears still has some effect, and he is worthy of being the lord of Dali, and he can distinguish the priorities. There was quite a bit of virtuous help, which made Gao Shide, who had not woken up, loosen his demeanor, washed his face and hurriedly put on his armor and went out.
The iron sword, which had been waiting outside the house for a long time, followed closely, and at this moment, the one-eyed dragon on the top of the city tower, looking at the dense crowd of people and horses under the city tower, couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's time to come, it's finally here." The expression on his face did not show a trace of nervousness, after all, Gao Shide had been preparing for this scene for two years.
At this time, before dawn in the city, soldiers from all walks of life came out of the quilts of the barracks and rushed around in the early autumn morning according to the military orders they had received.
"How's it going?" Gao Shide looked at the dense crowd of people under the city, and asked in surprise.
"I don't know, I can't sleep tonight. Suddenly, I received a report from the soldiers who were keeping vigil on the city tower that there were men and horses besieging the city. Fortunately, it was night and the gates were closed, otherwise it would have been a bad thing if they had been swarmed in. The one-eyed dragon said with a wry smile on his face with a slightly happy expression.
"That can't be helped, wait until dawn to see. However, the whole city must be under martial law now, and wait until tomorrow to confirm the identity of the other party before making plans. Gao Shide ordered someone to cook breakfast, and looked at the people outside and frowned.
The sunrise is red in the east, and the sky is clear and cloudless. The autumn wind and fallen leaves are inexhaustible, and the iron horse Jinge war drums are sounding.
Just as the sun was rising, an iron arrow shot up from under the city.
"The general has a situation." A centurion pulled out an iron arrow and hurriedly trotted over and handed it to Gao Shide.
"Heaven is unfair, and the Song court is in turmoil. The god felt it, and the holy fire came. The Holy Lord Fang Jun is commanded by God. Get rid of the extreme evil and return to the world is clear. Now that the holy army is coming, the war is about to rise, I feel the virtue of heaven and pity the world. The special order is sent to the city, and you should obey the will of heaven and do not mistake yourself. --Divine General Pang Wanchun's pen. ”
"Lies confuse the public." In front of the eyes of everyone in the city, Gao Shide lit this note with a torch to show his determination.
In fact, as early as dawn, the one-eyed dragon roughly counted the men and horses under the city. There are only more than 20,000 people, and you must know that Gao Shide has raised 20,000 troops in the city privately. And they are still on the garrison side, as long as they are not stupid, there is a seventy or eighty percent chance of winning this battle.
It is not the first time that Pingjiang Province has been besieged, and it is different from the last time refugees besieged the city. The people in the city caused panic and riots, but fortunately, Gao Shide had already prepared to use iron-blooded means to kill a few gangsters who were not long-sighted, and suppressed the scene. At the same time, they sent people to contact the four major families, after all, the people who came were the people from Fang La's side, and they would also weigh which was more important.
Sure enough, Gao Shide was not disappointed, and the four masters sent hundreds of families to help defend the city. It also provided a lot of logistical support, and for a time the military and civilians in Pingjiang City were integrated.
This is thanks to Fang La, if it weren't for his peasant uprising, it would be aimed at the interests of the imperial court and those local families. Otherwise, the four masters who usually ignore Gao Shide don't pay much attention to it don't have such a big hand.
And the other party's elusive soldiers are coming to the city, there are pros and cons. thought they could catch the city off guard, but they did so and made them fight together.
The art of war is cloudy, and there is one missing from the three. Pang Wanchun was a little too confident this time, and with only 20,000 horses, he actually surrounded the four walls of Pingjiang City.
This is not to blame him, who called Gao Shide has always had a bad reputation outside, and at the same time made him mistakenly think that he was a straw bale. And there are only 3,000 old, weak, sick and disabled troops in Pingjiang City on weekdays, which is also an important piece of information to mislead him. With such fearlessness, Pang Wanchun made a military order in front of Fang La, wanting to capture Gao Shide alive.
Who is called Gao Shide is the son of Gao Yu and Gao Taiwei, if he can be captured alive, it will definitely be a heavy spiritual blow to the army of the Song Court. You can also use Gao Shide to arrange some plans, so that the army of the Song Court will be jealous.
You must know that since Guan Sheng's forbidden army went south, the two sides have won and lost each other. has seriously threatened Fang La's regime, but unfortunately he didn't know that Gao Shide was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
"Kill." As the war drums sounded, Pang Wanchun began to order his men to attack the southern gate of Pingjiang City.
Facing the city walls, the ladders that had been prepared for a long time. Gao Shide showed a strange smile on his lips.
"The archers are ready, the first team is released, and the second team is ready to ......" As the voice of the one-eyed dragon sounded, the three thousand archers gathered on the castle tower were divided into three sections and shot arrows in batches. In less than a minute, the so-called 10,000 arrows were fired.
I don't know if I don't fight, and I'm scared when I hit it. The army that launched the attack was less than 2,000, and this was also a test of the water, after all, Pang Wanchun himself was not so sure that he could take it in one fell swoop with a charge. But in the face of this sudden arrow array, those who ran fast were lucky to save their lives, but those who ran slowly were pierced by arrows, and they died miserably.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Pang Wanchun, who was originally high-spirited, turned pale at this moment. Seeing the brothers he brought with him, one by one dying in this unavoidable chaotic arrow, he had to hurriedly withdraw his troops.
"General, what should we do?" Fang La's department, which has always fought smoothly, encountered such a scene for the first time, but you look at me, and I see that you have no countermeasures.
"What else can I do, pass on my military order to gather the soldiers scattered to the other three city gates around me." As Fang La's henchman, Pang Wanchun will not mess up because of this. At that time, I reacted and knew that I might have misestimated something, so I quickly changed my original plan.
"Brother, what's going on?" Pang Wanchun's sister Pang Qiuxia is the first female general under Fang La in addition to Fang La's sister. Originally, he led 4,000 men and horses to surround the West Gate, but he suddenly received a military order from Pang Wanchun to retreat, so he hurriedly asked.
