Chapter Ninety-Three: Unable to Attack for a Long Time
"Who's going to replace General Ling!" Kim Jong-lei said to the generals. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Seeing Ling Xue fighting with such a desperate posture, he felt that something was wrong, and he was worried about Ling Xue's safety, once Ling Xue made another mistake, how could he be worthy of Ling He's spirit in the sky?
A black-helmeted and black-armored general named Qiu Gang agreed, slapped his horse and danced his sword, and rushed forward. A general also rushed out from the opposite side and intercepted the fight. Four people and four horses are twisted together.
At this time, the most nervous person on the battlefield was still Song Qi, the first time he went into battle to fight, he didn't know how powerful Ling Xue was, he pinched a handful of sweat for Ling Xue. He held a repeating crossbow in his hand, his eyes were fixed on Ling Xue's side, once Ling Xue made a mistake, he was ready to release arrows to save people. However, he will not release arrows unless he has to, and he also knows that when the two armies are fighting, it is taboo to release cold arrows, and he is looked down upon. Since you are in this era, you should act according to the rules of this era, be an upright person, and do things above board. You must not be labeled as a "despicable" or "cold arrow" by others.
At this time, I only heard Kim Zhenglei order: "Mingjin retreats!" ”
Hearing the sound of gold, General Qiu Gang, who had just gone up, wanted to retreat, but Ling Xue had no intention of retreating, Ling Xue didn't retreat, and he couldn't retreat, so he could only continue to fight. Kim Jong-lei had no choice but to wave the handsome flag, and 10,000 Chinese soldiers and horses rushed over. Not to be outdone, the other party also came out with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to meet the battle. Suddenly, soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, and a scuffle.
After about a quarter of an hour of killing, Jin Zhenglei saw that the enemy's position was in chaos, so he waved the handsome flag to the left and right a few times, and Zuo Bing and You Yuan, who were arrayed on the left and right flanks, immediately rushed over with their troops. Where can the enemy soldiers resist the charging of the three-way soldiers? There was a big defeat and a loss. Helpless, it was important to escape, throw away the armor, cry for the father and call the mother, drag the flag upside down, fled into the city, hung the suspension bridge, closed the city gate, and couldn't shrink out.
Chen's army won a complete victory, killing 13,000 enemies and capturing countless booty. Ling Xue chased Yi Heng all the way, and finally escaped into the city by him, and Ling Xue returned to the camp, still hateful.
When the two armies faced the enemy today, Song Qi looked at Yiheng from a distance with his eyes, and looked at it carefully, feeling that this person's age, body shape, appearance, complexion, or armor, weapons, and mounts were not the slightest similarity with Yiheng who chased to Huanglongling last time. After returning to the camp, he told Ling Xue the doubts in his heart.
"Yiheng is my father-killing enemy, can this be wrong? Is there two Yiheng in the world? Ling Xue said disapprerovingly, at this time, her mind was full of revenge, and she wanted to kill Na Yiheng immediately to avenge her father, where did she have the heart to care about those details?
The next day, Ling Xue took the initiative to ask Ying, accompanied by Song Qi, led 3,000 troops, went out of the camp to challenge, and by the way, checked the authenticity of Yiheng again. But seeing that the city is hung up with a free battle card, no matter how you scold, no one will fight. This was the case for several days.
Seeing that the other side did not fight, Kim Jong-lei had to order the siege of the city. The three-way army gathered from the left, center and right at the same time to attack the city, and every time they were about to climb the city wall, they were all hit by the enemy's fierce blows, and the soldiers immediately fell from the city wall like peeling wall ash, killing and wounding countless people, corpses were all over the ground, bleeding and drifting.
Seeing that the siege could not be captured, Kim Jong Lei later ordered the siege by flooding, fire, digging tunnels, and other methods, but the enemy cracked them one by one.
Song Qi's repeater didn't play much of an advantage in this siege. The biggest advantage of the repeater is that it can shoot continuously, which is mainly useful when the number of enemies and friends is small. In offensive and defensive wars, there are thousands of archers on both sides, and when the general gives an order, arrows often rain down. As for the range, even the crossbow is only slightly better than the ordinary bow and arrow, far worse than the strong bow, and even worse than the strong crossbow.
"A small city can't even capture the city, so how can you capture Yangzhou? How will you attack the country in the future? Kim Jong-lei frowned, sighed for a long time, and was at a loss.
Seeing that Kim Zhenglei's face was gloomy, Princess Tancheng lightly opened her jade teeth and asked from the side: "Marshal, what are you worried about?" ‘
"It's not for the siege." Jin Zhenglei sighed and said, "The small city of Lianzhou can't be attacked for a long time!" ”
"What should I do? So it was! Princess Chengcheng raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Why don't you discuss it with your stranger Song Qi." Isn't he a little bit of a miracle? ”
When Kim Jong-lei heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he smiled and said, "I forgot about this person." Thanks to the princess reminder! ‘
That night, Kim Jong-lei summoned Ling Xue and Song Qi alone. Song Qi didn't know what was going on, so he secretly glanced at Ling Xue, who squeezed his eyes at him, also with a blank face.
Seeing that the two of them looked nervous, Jin Zhenglei smiled slightly and said slowly: "There is nothing else." I just want to know how you escaped from Longwei Mountain that day? ”
When the two of them saw that they were asking about this, they breathed a sigh of relief. Ling Xue carefully recounted the story of how they escaped by balloons and kites, which lasted for a long time, the more excited they became, the more vivid they became, and in the end, their eyebrows flew and their faces were flying.
"Song joins the army," Kim Jong-lei nodded frequently when he listened, and after listening, he turned his head to Song Qi and asked, "Do you think hot air balloons and kites can play some role in the siege of the city?" ”
Song Qi saw that there had been heavy casualties in the white-knuckle siege in the past few days, and the idea of using a kite to fly into the city also popped up in his mind. But as soon as this thought appeared, he was extinguished by himself. Because he was not sure if the kite would be able to fly into the city. After all, human life is at stake, and you can't do child's play. He didn't expect Kim Jong-lei to be interested in kites and hot air balloons, so he truthfully replied with his thoughts: "Marshal, in the past few days, I have also thought about whether I can use kites and hot air balloons to help the marshal, but I don't know the bottom in my heart. We were hunted down with no way out, and we had to take the risk of doing so. ”
"Today we have reached the last resort." Kim Zhenglei's eyelashes drooped, and he sighed and said, his tone was full of pain and determination, "We have attacked the city with white knives in the past few days, and tens of thousands of soldiers have been killed and wounded, and I am very sad. It can't go on like this! ”
"Hot air balloons don't have to be considered because you can't control the direction! I can't control up and down! Ling Xue said without thinking, her tone was very affirmative, because this was her personal experience.
"I've been thinking about how to use kites to bring troops into the city these days. But at that time, we flew from the mountains to the sea, and we were lucky enough to fly! Now if you want to fly over the city walls from under the city to the city, I'm afraid it's not very likely! Song Qi slowly raised his hand and made a downward movement, and then made an upward movement, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.
When Jin Zhenglei heard this, Huo Di stood up, smiled at the two of them, waved his hand, and said confidently: "I didn't let you fly from the city to the city." There is a high mountain on the left side of Lianzhou City, which is much higher than the city wall, and we can fly from the mountain to the city! ”
"Maybe you won't be able to fly that far!" Song Qi frowned, spread his hands, and said worriedly, "Last time, I only flew five or six hundred meters... ”
Jin Zhenglei raised his eyebrows, his eyes froze, he reached out and patted Song Qi's shoulder, with a smile on his face, and said excitedly: "It's enough to fly five or six hundred meters!" The nearest hill outside Lianzhou City is no more than 300 meters away from the city wall. ”
The next day, Kim Jong-lei took Song Qi and Ling Xue to the scene to inspect the terrain.
After going up the hill and looking at the terrain, Song Qi quietly nodded to Ling Xue and praised: "We also inspected the terrain on Yantou Ridge, why didn't we see that this hill was very close to the city wall at that time." It seems that this Kim Jong-lei is not simple, he has a very accurate view of the terrain, and he is not a marshal in vain. ”
Ling Xue blurted out: "That's nature! As she spoke, she glanced at Song Qi with a smile, in her heart, Kim Zhenglei had long been a big hero like her father.
Now Song Qi has a certain grasp of using kites to transport troops into the city, and if he can fly up from the mountain, it is possible to fly into the city. Once you have made a decision, you need to act on it immediately.
Kim Jong-lei ordered the establishment of the Kite God Corps, with Song Qi as the commander; And a reward for recruiting members of the Divine Soldiers, all soldiers who join the Divine Soldiers, a reward of ten taels of gold, if unfortunately killed in battle, fall to death, the pension will be doubled.
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the reward. It didn't take long for a hundred kite soldiers to be recruited...
At the same time, Song Qi immediately began to make a hundred large kites.
He used the toughest bamboo, the toughest tarpaulin, and the strongest military rope. The length and width of the kite were lengthened by three feet, the top cloth was made into two layers, and the lower layer was made with a hole three feet wide and four feet long, so that the wind could be blown up and the weight could be carried more. The length of the wings has been lengthened, and the direction of the rocker arm has been adjusted. Shaking in this way, it can fan up more wind force, which can control both the height of the flight and the direction of travel.
This kite is many times better than the one they tried to play with in Longwei Mountain. After all, human life is at stake, and the life and death of more than 100 people are in his hands, not child's play.
When not manned, the kite flies into the sky with ease. The kite is not like an ordinary kite at all, but like a peacock with wings spread, light and colorful...
