Chapter 464: Disrespect
When they came to the city wall, the soldiers saw that the enemy under the city had rushed to the front, and many of them were setting up ladders to the top of the city, and the enemy's siege towers had also been transported, and the situation was very critical.
"Block me from the enemy."
"Crossbow, shoot!"
Now the only ones that have been transported to the city wall are strong crossbows, because strong crossbows are light and can move flexibly, while those three-bow bed crossbows and red-coated cannons are all under the city and have not yet been transported.
There is no way to do this, because the time is too late, and it is too late to operate.
However, even if there is only a strong crossbow, it is enough to compete with the enemy, and in the case that the enemy does not use secret weapons, the strong crossbow is a new type of secret weapon, especially in the defense of the city, which is very powerful!
Whoosh...
Arrows rained down, and the snowy people under the city were wrapped in sharp arrow feathers, and the blood was not only spilled, but the snowy people fell one by one, and for a while, the snowy people continued to increase casualties.
"Kill!"
Puff puff puff!!
As time passed, many snowy people broke through the blows of the arrow feathers and rushed to the head of the city, at this time, the soldiers defending the city took out their spears and began to rush at the enemy.
Under the city, Ye Minzhong originally wanted to attack with a trebuchet, but now that his own soldiers have also climbed the city, if he uses a trebuchet, he will definitely blow up his own soldiers, so he can't use it, which makes it difficult to siege the city.
........
The fierce siege continued until the afternoon, when the snowy people still did not break through the city.
However, at noon, when Ye Minzhong took out all the shells and prepared for the second round of bombardment, he did almost break the city, and there were already many soldiers who climbed up to the top of the city, but when Qin Shuang blocked the elite soldiers to arrive, the snowy people were defeated and retreated, and after that, the snowy people were completely driven downstairs.
Generally. On this day, the defenders of the city were very dangerous, and the siegers also suffered heavy losses, and the loss was not how many people died. Instead, it consumed all the smashed eggs of the Snowy People, and without the bombs, the Snowy People would have nothing to do.
Of course, Liao Yun and Qin Shuang didn't know that the secret weapon of the Snowy People was gone, so. They will also maintain a high level of vigilance and keep the city tight.
In the evening, when the people in the snow region retreated, Liao Yun had just returned to the city government and received an envoy from the imperial capital.
"General, take the order."
Liao Yun bowed respectfully and knelt down to receive the order.
After the order on the holy decree was completed, Liao Yun immediately frowned: "No, this Hexi County is the rear of my Holy Dynasty, how can Your Majesty give up?" ”
"General, this is His Majesty's will. I don't know if it's a little one. ”
Liao Yun was puzzled, according to his thoughts, Wang Xu should have gathered an army and rushed over.
Hexi County is the place where the Holy Dynasty specializes in the production of war horses, if you give up, the consequences are very serious, and besides, there is a snowy county after Hexi County, which is also the place where war horses are produced.
The people of the snow region will be eliminated after all, and today they will give up the peace of Hexi County. After the snowy people crossed the river, do they still have to give up Guxi County?
"No, Ben won't withdraw!"
"Heh, General Liao. This is a holy decree, you see. ”
Liao Yun said: "See clearly, isn't it just death, I will not withdraw if I am going to die, please envoy, I am going to deal with military affairs." ”
"You..."
The messenger departed in a fit of rage. Liao Yun had mixed feelings in his heart.
He found Qin Shuang, Goudan, Lei Yan, and all the generals, and everyone held a high-level military meeting, and the topic of discussion was, is it to break through and retreat? Or stay and find a way to defeat the Snowy People.
The meeting lasted for two hours, and Lei Yan must have advocated a battle to eliminate the people of the Snow Domain!
Qin Shuang and Goudan were hesitant at first, but under Lei Yan's repeated persuasion, the two finally compromised, because Hexi County was too important, and if it was discarded, the consequences would be quite serious.
And there is a more important point, discarding Hexi is equivalent to discarding the Yangtze River, and the loss is really immeasurable.
I'd rather die, but also swear to defend Hexi!
This is the mood of the four right now.
Even Liao Yun and the four of them agreed, and of course the other generals had no opinion, and in the end, everyone decided to defend the royal city and wait for the opportunity to eliminate the people of the Snow Domain.
Of course, in order to alleviate his guilt, Liao Yun sent that messenger to the imperial capital, explained the crude oil, and asked for an order to be stationed in Hexi County, hoping that Wang Xu would take back his fate.
In fact, no matter whether Wang Xu agrees or not, the four of them plan to retreat or not.
Hexi County was fortunate to be fought down by them, how could they give it to others?
..............
Cheongwon-gun.
Pi County, Pi County is the first city from Guxi County to Qingyuan County, and it is a slightly short city, where 500 soldiers are stationed.
The military divisions on Hu Ling's territory are not quite the same as Wang Xu's, Wang Xu's county has a minimum of 1,000 people, while Hu Ling's is only 500, and only in that kind of big city is there more than 1,000 soldiers stationed.
At this time, in the county office, the county commander was drinking with the captain of the city guard, and suddenly, a soldier came running quickly: "My lord, my lord, it's not good..." ”
"What's the matter? Don't panic in case of trouble, for the sake of Mount Tai, you look like you, and you will be a soldier. ”
The soldier was not in the mood to joke with the county commander now, he looked extremely flustered: "My lord, there is a soldier and horse from the city, about 3,000 people, looking dressed, like the army of the Holy Dynasty. ”
"The army of the Holy Pilgrimage? What are they doing here? The county ordered.
The soldier said: "Of course they are here to attack the city, and the generals they took the lead said, let the county order your lordship get out and surrender, otherwise you can set foot in Pi County in less than a quarter of an hour." ”
What the?
The soldiers and horses of the Holy Dynasty actually came to attack the city, did the two countries start to fight?
The captain on the side said: "Your Excellency, don't panic, it's only 3,000 people, we refuse to defend the city, the enemy can't attack it, so we can drink with confidence." ”
The soldier hurriedly said: "General, there are only 3,000 under this city, but the enemy general with the troops said that the Emperor of the Holy Dynasty personally led an army of 500,000 to the royal city of Qingyuan County, and in less than three days, the royal city will be breached!" ”
Hearing this, the lieutenant and the county commander gasped at the same time.
"What to do? What to do? ”
.........
"My lord, let's surrender." The lieutenant swallowed his saliva and said slowly.
The county order must be unwilling, but it can't withstand the persuasion of the captain, because the captain has soldiers and horses in his hands, even if the county order does not agree, it is the same.
In order to save his own life, ten minutes later, the prefectural order finally compromised.
"Let's go, go out of the city and surrender." (To be continued.) )
