The Great Tent of the Fire Lin Army.

Zhao Xun sat on the main seat, the generals were on both sides, Han Meng stood beside Zhao Xun with a knife, and the generals had a relaxed smile on their faces.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Zhao Xun knew what they were thinking, and said casually: "How do you feel about the battle at noon today?" ”

Xue Lei, the general of the Right Mansion, said in a deep voice: "The defense of the city by the Yan army is far less powerful than their field battles. ”

Zhang Meng and Zhao Xiong, the deputy generals of the Right Mansion, also nodded secretly, and Duan Yan, the captain of the Xinzi Battalion, said with a smile: "In the past, we defended the city, and the Yan army harassed us everywhere, but now, it is time for us to let them taste the power." ”

Zhao Lindao, the captain of the Gangzi Battalion, said: "Having said that, our cavalry is still a lot worse than the Yan Army, especially our four newly built cavalry battalions. The strength of the cavalry of the Turquoise Army lies in the sharpness of our weapons and armor, but the source of the war horses is still our biggest flaw. When necessary, the army can have two horses per person, or even three horses per person, but we are only one man and one horse, and it is extremely difficult to replenish after the loss. ”

Zhang Meng nodded and said: "Captain Zhao is reasonable, the reason why the armies in the north of Youzhou have been suppressed by the two ethnic groups in the north is because of the scarcity of war horses. ”

"Zhao Ning, how is the momentum of the soldiers of the Right Mansion?" Zhao Xun asked.

"The momentum is like a rainbow, if it is not for today's collection of troops, the soldiers have a great desire to attack Baixian. Now all the officers and men of the army hope to defeat the Yan army and even recover the three southeastern prefectures. Zhao Ning said excitedly.

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "That's good, half of the soldiers of the Youfu Army have not experienced the battle in the formal sense, this attack on Baixian is also an actual combat training for the soldiers, so that they can adapt to the tragedy of the war. ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Xun said coldly: "Don't look at the Yan Ya army to defend the city, just underestimate the combat power of the Jin Ya army, the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, any behavior that underestimates the opponent is a suicidal move, everyone knows the truth that the arrogant army will be defeated, I don't want this to happen to us!" ”

"Situ Liang, are the logistics ready?"

"Lord Hui, the siege towers and ladders are ready, ready to go!" Situ Liang said with some worry.

"Okay, tomorrow is the official siege of the city, Baixian! We're going to fight! ”

After the generals left, Zhao Xun said to Situ Liang who was left behind: "I saw that you seemed to have something to say before, so now you might as well say it directly." ”

Situ Liang said: "We don't have much food and grass, and after this war, I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue the war." ”

"Oh? Is it, we took so many rich and unkind landlords, and the seized materials are gone? Zhao Xun said lightly.

"Yanzhou Mansion is under construction, most of the materials have been thrown there, and even the grain we seized from Qi Yan has been pasted into it, it is really difficult to start a war, as the Lord said before, immediately counterattack the three southern provinces, I am afraid that it will be difficult to continue for a while. To take Baixian, we need to rest, and in the short term, there can be no more big actions. Situ Liang looked at Zhao Xun's face cautiously and said.

Zhao Xun said lightly: "Well, I have other plans for this, and there will be no big moves in it." ”

Situ Liang breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that a young man like Zhao Xun would win a battle for a while, so he wanted to continue to expand the results of the battle, not taking into account the people's livelihood.

The sky is slightly bright, the city wall of Baixian County is bathed in a faint morning light, looking from afar, the clouds and smoke are swirling, with the surrounding empty fields, it is not a scenery. But the Yan army above the city tower was nervously patrolling back and forth, and after a day, the fire lin army under the city seemed to have begun to act.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Doodoo ......"

The sound of drums and horns sounded endlessly, and the soldiers of the Huolin Army battalion were draped one after another, and under the reprimand of the officers of each battalion, they formed a neat military formation and slowly pressed towards the county seat of Baixian.

"Woo woo woo ......" The army on the city wall also sounded the horn of warning, and the army under the city also hurried to the city wall, preparing for a new war.

Huang Han stood on the city wall, sleepless all night, his eyes were red, and he fixed his eyes on the approaching army of the Huolin Army, and his heart was cold.

Under the city of Baixian, the continuous war drums and the low sound of trumpets resounded throughout the four fields, and on the endless wilderness, the Huolin army swept like a monstrous wave. A vigorous banner waved in the wind, and the fire unicorn on it seemed to be about to come to life. Under the banner, Zhao Xun was wearing bright light armor, and the fiery red unicorn cloak behind him fluttered in the wind.

After that, the iron armor of the forest gathered into a sea of steel, shining with a piercing cold light. A spear pierced the sky, and the red tassel above the head was as red as blood in the sunlight.

What made Huang Han's heart cold was not these soldiers, but the siege tower that thousands of young men shouted to advance forward, and the siege tower that was higher than the city wall was the sharp thorn that overwhelmed his determination to defend the city.

Zhao Xun raised his spear, the drums and horns of Huolin were all in unison, Zhao Xun pointed to Baixian, and said loudly: "The people of the Yan Dynasty occupy my city and kill my people, what do you say?" ”

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The soldiers of the three armies roared in unison!

Zhao Xun shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Everyone, attack the city today, don't go down to Baixian, and swear not to collect troops!" ”

"If you don't go to Bai County, you swear not to withdraw troops!"

"Victory! Win! ”

"Qingshan, you are the first in this battle, stand at the head of the city for me, and lay a foothold for the follow-up foot soldiers, so that they can open the city gate!"

"Don't worry, my heavy armor battalion is already ready!" Zhao Qingshan was heavy and said with a resolute face.

"Okay, that's what you're waiting for!" Zhao Xun nodded with satisfaction.

"Ballista battalion, suppress them for me, siege towers, advance!"

"Ho ......"

"Ho ......"

A neat trumpet sounded among the Fire Lin Army, and the tall towers behind them slowly moved forward.

Huang Han's heart beat wildly, staring at it, and sure enough, as he expected, the siege tower at that time, the equipment used by the Yan army to attack the city. The towers, though moving slowly, moved unstoppably towards the walls.

"Heavy Battalion, forward!"

Rows of heavily armored foot soldiers, marching in a neat stride, moved forward along with the siege towers. The cold iron armor and heavy shields intertwined into a suffocating wall, advancing unstoppably towards the Baixian City Tower.

"Infantry battalion, siege! Archers ready! ”

The three infantry battalions of the Youfu Army carried the ladder and rushed to the Baixian city wall.

The corners of Huang Han's eyes shrank, and he was horrified in his heart: It seems that this Huolin Army is coming for real.

"Archer prepare!" Xiao Han roared bitterly.

"Shoot the arrows!" Seeing the Huolin Army's foot soldiers approaching the city wall, he shouted loudly.

"Woo Woo ......"

A rain of arrows rained down into the air, shooting straight at the Fire Lin Army's foot soldiers.

"Shield!"

Zhao Qingshan shouted fiercely, and the heavy infantry immediately slammed the tall shield to the ground, and suddenly there was a loud noise, and in an instant, a shield wall appeared in front of the soldiers, resisting the rain of arrows pouring down.

There was a crisp sound, and the shield and the ground were piled with arrows, but the foot soldiers behind the shield were unharmed.

"Heavy infantry?" Huang Han looked at the Huolin Army at the front, and his heart was shocked.

The middle army of the Fire Lin Army.

Zhao Xun's expression was indifferent, and he ordered: "Archer, attack!" Ballista battalion, launch! ”

The herald waved the command flag twice in his hand.

"Archer, forward!"

In an instant, the officers' loud trumpets resounded through the formation, and the two thousand elite archers, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly ran forward and lined up behind the shield wall of the heavily armored foot soldiers. The longbow was already in his hand, and the sharp arrow was already on the string, waiting for the order of the Shangguan.

"Ballista battalion, launch! Archers, release the arrows! ”

Stretch the bow, pull the string, point the arrow into the sky, release the arrow, a set of well-trained movements in one go.

In an instant, two thousand sharp feather arrows rose into the air, with a piercing whistling sound, swept through the sky, and slammed straight into the head of Baixian County, tilting towards it.

"Hide, ...... fast"

In the rain of arrows, crossbow arrows of several fingers thick buzzed all over the city wall......

"My lord, the siege tower is approaching the city wall!"

In the middle of the Huolin Army, Zhao Xun indifferently ordered: "The archers retreat, the siege tower is near the city, the heavy armor battalion is ready, the city wall is captured, and the cloud ladder assists!" ”

The herald then waved the small flag in his hand a few times.

"Cheer ......"

"Cheer ......"

Hiding behind the female wall, Huang Han suddenly found that the rain of arrows on his head had dissipated, and when he looked up, he didn't know when, the dozen or so towering siege towers were already close in front of him. The towers are several meters taller than the city walls, and the walls are made of hardwood and covered with cowhide. In this regard, Huang Han is very familiar with it, because among the Yan army, there are similar things, especially in order to attack Yanzhou City, Zuo Hu Chang a department, gathered many Han people, and made dozens of corpses, however, it seems to have been burned by the Huolin army. The Fire Lin Army has a way to deal with this, but there is no good way for Huang Han to deal with it.

After the siege tower, many soldiers and young men were shouting neat trumpets and struggling to move forward, and the siege towers also followed the trumpet, approaching the city wall step by step.

In this regard, the soldiers of Huang Han and Yan Ya were at a loss and did not know how to deal with it.

"Cheer ......"

"Huh, shout ......" siege tower is getting closer and closer, 100 meters!

Fifty meters!

Thirty meters!

Under the city wall, the foot soldiers of the Huolin Army also carried the cloud ladder close to the city wall, and his eyes were red, he knew that as long as the siege tower was built on the city wall, and the cloud ladder was also admitted to the city wall, Bai County was completely finished.

"Archers! Archer...... Counterattack! He screamed bitterly.

"Hurry, hurry! Shoot the arrows! They must not be allowed to come close! ”

The soldiers who dodged the rain of arrows immediately got up and shot arrows with their bows, but the rain of arrows had no effect on the siege tower.

"Shoot at the Yan army who is pushing! Fast! As soon as he saw that the arrows had no effect on the siege tower, he immediately roared.

However, as a result, the soldiers and soldiers under the siege tower had already been firmly protected by the heavy armor battalion with large shields, and the rain of arrows caused the loss was negligible. The infantry of the Fire Lin Army, carrying the ladder, waited for the siege tower to open the way, and followed behind the siege tower unhurriedly.

Looking at the scene ahead, the corners of Zhao Xun's mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a faint smile, if nothing else, Bai County would soon return to his hands, at that time, Yanzhou Mansion would be completely recovered, and he would have supreme prestige in Yanzhou Mansion.

"The cavalry battalion is also ready, as long as the city gate is opened, go straight in! Zhongzi Battalion, East Gate, Guzi Battalion, West Gate, and the other two battalions went straight to the North Gate and annihilated the Yan Army in Bai County. The guard battalion followed me straight to the county office. ”

"Yes!" The lieutenant of the cavalry battalion was eager to try.

"General Xue will advance with the foot soldiers of the Right Mansion to clear the remnants of the city, and not let anyone go."

"Yes!" The current Xue Lei has completely convinced Zhao Xun.
