Li Tingzhi's eyes were a little sluggish, and he didn't say a word for a long time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In Qi County, there is already a high degree of tension, there are more than 10,000 Mongolian troops outside, and they may attack at any time, and the road to break out has been completely blocked.

If Yuan Shichun hadn't come to Qi County to report the news, Li Tingzhi might really be desperate, or even give up resistance.

Li Tingzhi could only blame himself for being too stupid, and he was actually fooled by Xia Gui.

For Wu Shaogang's aid, Li Tingzhi also has no confidence, you must know that the Mongolian army has always been brave, the imperial army every encounter, is a fiasco, the teacher of the year, Meng Heng, can be said to be the first general in the court, after the imperial court united with Mongolia to destroy the Jin State, because of the matter of fighting for territory, and the Mongolian army fought several times, but also won less and lost more, forced to retreat to the south of the Huai River, watching Mongolia occupy a large area of land.

However, Wu Shaogang led the army to come to the rescue, and Li Tingzhi must have led the loyal soldiers to desperately resist the attack of the Mongolian army.

I don't know how much time has passed, Li Tingzhi looked at Yuan Shichun who was sitting on the side, and suddenly spoke.

"General Yuan Zheng, I don't know how long it will take for the army led by Wu Shaogang to arrive in Qi County."

"Report to the envoy of Li Zhizhi, at most two days, and the army can arrive."

"Wu Shaogang has 10,000 troops under the command of the Hezhou Imperial Army, in addition to the Guards Ma Junsi, the Left Army of the Zhenjiang Imperial Army, the Xuanfeng Army and the Xuanxuan Front Army, these 15,000 people are under the command of Xia Gui, will they obey Wu Shaogang's command?"

"The last general thinks that there is no problem, at the time of Shouchun, the lord has already reorganized the army."

"Well, it seems that Wu Shaogang's growth is not small, but why did Wu Shaogang come to help Huaibei."

Yuan Shichun's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly spoke.

"Li Zhizhi sent a letter to the adults, asking them to go to Huaibei to help, so the adults led the troops here."

Li Tingzhi stood up suddenly.

"What, I did write a letter to Cangling, but it was to ask for advice, and because there is such a proposal and tendency in the court, I did not ask Cangling to come to Huaibei, and I later wrote a letter to the imperial court, thinking that Cangling is not suitable to come to Huaibei for the time being under the current situation, and the defense of Tongchuan Road is also important."

Yuan Shichun looked at Li Tingzhi and said that he couldn't answer this question.

When Li Tingzhi was about to continue speaking, a personal guard broke into the house.

"Report to your lordship, the Mongolian army has begun to attack...

The attack of the Mongolian army was not particularly fierce, they just sent a few hundred people to charge in the direction of the city wall, and once they encountered the shot of bows and arrows, they would quickly retreat, and all the attacks were cavalry, and the speed was very fast.

This kind of attack seems to have little pressure on the sergeants stationed on the city wall, but in fact, such an attack by the Mongolian army makes the sergeants on the city wall highly nervous and dare not slack off in the slightest.

A person's mental endurance is limited, and if you are highly nervous for a long time, you will gradually become numb, and when the strong attack really begins, you will not be able to lift your spirits.

A commander who commanded the sergeants to resist scolded the Mongolian troops besieging under the city wall with hatred in his mouth, and shouted loudly to all the soldiers above the city wall, cheering up and resisting desperately.

After several charges, the Brave men fired a number of bows and arrows, but did not cause a single Mongolian casualties.

The commander in command of the battle also found that the situation was wrong, and he ordered the sergeant not to shoot for the time being, not to waste bows and arrows, and to wait until the Mongol army approached the city wall, and then began to shoot.

The city wall of Qi County is not very high, but about six meters, but as a county seat, it is already very good to be able to have a six-meter-high city wall, the north gate, the west gate and the east gate of the county town are all blocked, only a small number of sergeants handle, and most of the sergeants are concentrated in the south gate.

Just after the commander's order was given, another round of charging began, this time, the sergeant on the city wall did not immediately raise his bow and arrow, but stared at the charging Mongol army.

A round of arrows roared, it was actually shot by the charging Mongolian army, many bows and arrows fell on the city wall, and a few short screams appeared, obviously someone was shot by the bow and arrow.

The Commander dodged the arrows that came at him, and cursed angrily.

The combat effectiveness of the loyal soldiers is not strong, which is manifested in many ways, and archery is also one of them, not to mention the crosshairs, it is difficult to shoot the bow and arrow powerfully.

Under the city walls, the barracks guarded by the south gate.

The sound of horses' hooves and shouts continued to be heard, and the heralds were always in and out to report the situation of the battle.

Li Tingzhi, who was dissuaded by Yuan Shichun and other officers, sat in the barracks, snoring and breathing.

"The deception is too great, I must go to the city wall to see, and personally bear the life of the Mongolian Tartars...

"Li Zhizhi envoy, or the last general will go to the city wall to have a look."

Li Tingzhi looked at Yuan Shichun and nodded in agreement.

"General Yuan Zheng, kill a few more Mongolian Tartars for me."

Yuan Shichun, who walked on the city wall, and a dozen or so people around him, quickly came to the back of the battlement.

The Mongol army had finished a round of charge, and it was quite quiet outside the city wall at the moment.

The wounded sergeant has been carried down, and the sergeant defending the city was actually shot and wounded by the Mongolian army attacking the city, such a thing, for other sergeants, the blow is a bit heavy, if the Mongol army launched a general attack, the overwhelming bow and arrow, wouldn't it make the sergeant on the city wall unable to hide.

The commander saw Yuan Shichun and the others who came up, and he knew the identity of Yuan Shichun and the others.

"General Yuan Zheng, you have to pay attention, the Mongolian Tartar is indeed powerful, I was almost shot just now."

Yuan Shichun looked at the commander, smiled, nodded, and picked up his bow and arrow at the same time.

The rest of the dozen or so people also picked up bows and arrows.

The commander didn't care very much, left Yuan Shichun and the others, and continued to order the other sergeants to concentrate and keep an eye on the Mongol Tartars at any time.

The shouts of demonstrations reappeared, a harbinger of the Mongolian army's preparation for an attack.

The drums sounded, and the two hundred cavalry of the Mongolian army began to charge again, and they rushed straight in the direction of the city wall without any scruples.

The tense atmosphere began to spread again, and some of the sergeants on the city wall, looking at the charging Mongolian sergeants, even revealed fear in their eyes, they were afraid of being shot by the rain of arrows.

Yuan Shichun's expression was very calm, he had already raised the bow and arrow in his hand, and the dozen or so people who followed him up to the city wall also raised the bow and arrow in their hands.

When the charging Mongolian sergeant was still fifty meters away from the city wall, Yuan Shichun stood up and leaned on the battlement, as did the rest of the dozen or so.

Their expressions were unusually solemn, staring closely at the Mongolian sergeants who were charging over.

The commander stood up at the risk and was about to come over to scold, but when he looked at Yuan Shichun and the others, who had already revealed a wisp of murderous aura on their bodies, shrunk their necks and squatted down again.

The Mongols were only twenty meters away from the city wall, and they could even see their eyes and eyebrows, and they could see clearly that these sergeants were arranging their bows and arrows, ready to shoot.

"Whew..."

At this moment, a dozen bows and arrows roared out.

The screams appeared instantly, and more than a dozen Mongolian cavalry were shot, and they fell off their horses one after another, rolling on the ground and howling, and some of them were stepped on by the war horses that could not stop, and slowly stopped moving.

Many charging cavalrymen, who did not have time to shoot the bows and arrows in their hands, hurriedly reined in the reins, and by the sound of the bows and arrows, they could already hear that something was wrong, and the people who shot arrows were by no means ordinary.

Before they could react, a dozen bows and arrows from the second round roared again.

The seven or eight people who rushed in front fell again.

At this moment, the charging Mongolian army came to their senses, and they became the archery target of the Song army on the city wall, no wonder the Song army stopped shooting in front, it turned out to be waiting for them to take the bait.

Without an order, the charging Mongol army quickly turned its horse and withdrew to the rear.

The war horse, which had lost its master, also turned back, leaving nearly twenty people lying on the ground with arrows.

Cheers erupted from above the city walls.

Just after the Mongolian army retreated, the commander stood up, trotted to Yuan Shichun's side, and stretched out his thumb, while the rest of the sergeants looked at the dozen or so people, and their eyes revealed admiration.

"Awesome, Yuan Zhengjiang, you are really powerful, if you have a chance in the future, you can teach me...

The Mongol army temporarily stopped the attack, and the large army retreated about a kilometer behind.

Li Tingzhi finally went up to the city wall.

Looking at the nearly twenty corpses lying outside the city wall, and hearing the leader's report, Li Tingzhi's face was bright.

"Order all the sergeants to stand by and not allow the Mongol Tartars to come as close as to the city walls."

Back in the barracks, Li Tingzhi's face showed a smile.

Needless to say, he also knew that the combat effectiveness of Yuan Shichun and the others was extraordinary, but he still needed to confirm it.

"General Yuan Zheng, everyone, it's not easy to be so brave."

"Report to the envoy of Li Zhizhi, the last general and the brothers are just one of the armies in Hezhou, and the sergeants under the command of Lord Wu are more courageous than the last general."

"No, I know when the imperial armies of Hezhou became so strong."

"Two months ago, Liu Heima, who was stationed in Chengdu Fu Road, led a large army to attack Tongchuan Mansion, and was defeated by the Hezhou Imperial Front Army led by adults, and the front army composed of 5,000 cavalry of the Mongolian army was all annihilated, Liu Heima died in a hurry, and Liu Yuanzhen, the successor of the Chengdu Fu Road Army, did not dare to covet Tongchuan Fu Road since then."

Li Tingzhi stood up excitedly.

"Amazing, great, Cangling is really good, I didn't expect it, such a brilliant record, why didn't Cangling report it, oh, it shouldn't be reported, so as not to cause trouble, okay, it seems that the Mongolian Tartars besieging Qi County are going to be unlucky this time."

"Before the last general set off, the lord specially instructed that Li Zhizhi must take care of his body, stick to the city, and wait for rescue."

Li Tingzhi nodded and ordered the guards to enter the house.

"Deliver my orders, and all the soldiers will cheer up and hold on to the city, and if there is anyone who fears war, there will be no forgiveness." (To be continued.) )
