Chapter 117: The Battle of the Royal City (10)

The battle was over at the beginning of the battle against the three hundred cavalrymen who were exhausted after a long run, and the two soldiers did not even resist for a moment, and they all fell to their knees and begged for mercy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Sui adhered to the strategy of "surrender without killing" of the Son of Heaven, did not kill more, and accepted the invitation of these people to surrender.

"Who's the leader?"

"I am." General Yang raised his hand.

"What's the name? What position? Li then came to him on a horse and asked.

"The last general is a division commander under General Ji Peng, surnamed Yang Mingfei."

"Yang Fei, Shi Shuai." Li Sui nodded and said to Jiang: "Send a soldier to tie them up and take them to a hidden place to see." The others joined General Wei Yan with me. ”

When the second fire ignited, Ji Dan was directly confused, he even forgot to care about how many soldiers died in the fire, and asked a question over and over again in his heart: Can wine burn? Wine can burn? What if you had known that it could burn, and when the other party threw the wine jar from the city wall, you would have taken corresponding measures and would never have let it burn? Even if it doesn't work, it won't let the team rush across the river recklessly. But I didn't expect that wine could burn!

The vanguard of the crossing of the river is about three or four thousand people, and in the absence of siege equipment, they will inevitably be surrounded and killed by the other party, and what he regrets the most is that Lin Fang is also among them, that is the henchman general he leans on as his arm! is the brother of his favorite lady, how to explain to her when he goes back!

The fire gradually weakened, Jiang Fan. Wen Xiu and the other two generals gathered their respective subordinates, and there were not many archers left under Liu Feng's jurisdiction, so they helped collect the siege troops left by Lin Fang. After several people gathered their troops, they roughly counted them. It was found that the 50,000 troops that had set out in the morning were now less than 40,000, and this was with the addition of a number of wounded soldiers.

The three of them glanced at each other, all of them were as pale as earth, and slowly came to Ji Dan: "Qiqi Eastern Zhou Gong, the troops have been assembled, whether to continue to attack Wangcheng or withdraw to the camp." Please publicize it in the East Week! ”

Ji Dan finally came back to his senses, but his eyes were still empty, and he muttered, "It's already such a field." How can you attack it? Withdraw, withdraw! ”

The three of them were about to go back and lead the team to retreat, when they saw a fast horse galloping towards them, and they shouted loudly from a distance: "The battalion is urgent." Big camp urgent! ”

A few people were taken aback. Now the siege force has been greatly frustrated, and if the battalion has another problem, these tens of thousands of troops are afraid that they will collapse directly.

The messenger was sensible, and did not shout out the specific situation loudly, but came to Ji Dan's side and whispered to him in his ear, which was probably explained by Ji Peng.

"The enemy attacked the camp and burned the grain and grass!"

"Huh?!" Ji Dan only felt that his head was buzzing, and his feet suddenly stumbled. The guards beside him hurriedly held on to prevent him from falling to the ground.

Jiang Fan and the other three saw all this in their eyes, and they all looked shocked. Obviously, this is very bad news. "Dong Zhou Gong!" The three of them shouted in unison.

Ji Dan pressed one hand on the shoulder of the guard, his face changed violently, he knew that now the defeat was decided, and the army must be withdrawn immediately, and the news of the burning of grain and grass could not be told to the army, otherwise the consequences were really unpredictable, and if it caused a mutiny, it would be a disaster.

There is another way, he gritted his teeth and thought: We still have four or five people now, and all kinds of means of the Zhou family have been used, the Son of Heaven sent strange soldiers to burn my grain and grass, the purpose is to force me to withdraw the army, presumably I don't have much confidence in holding the royal city. Moreover, the passage has been set up on the moat, if we do the opposite at this time, do not retreat but advance, and fight with one blow, maybe we will take the royal city, at that time, why worry about any food and grass problems?

The strength seemed to return to the body, Ji Dan straightened his body, his eyes shot crazy flames, and he came to the army calmly, and said in a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is news from the camp that the Son of Heaven sent a team of 1,000 people to attack the camp secretly, but Ji Peng, the general of the camp, saw through it and wiped out all the team, and none of them ran away. That's great news! ”

Did we win too? The soldiers were pleasantly surprised, and the low morale caused by the previous defeats had risen a lot.

Ji Dan continued: "Do you know how many troops Wang Cheng has now? ”

The crowd shook their heads.

"This duke has always been good friends with Si Kou Ji of the Zhou Chamber, and he knows the situation in the city well. At this time, all of them, including private soldiers, were only 12,000 people! At the same time, the total number of arrows is less than 50,000, and most of them have been shot in front, and it is estimated that there are only about 10,000 now; The equipment to defend the city was also very scarce. As for all kinds of tricks, they have all been used. To put it mildly, Wang Cheng is basically in a state of waiting for death now, as long as they are attacked, they will have no power to fight back! ”

"And what about us? Although some of the manpower was lost under the trick of this sinister emperor, there were still more than 50,000 people at this time, twenty ladders were intact, there were two rushing cars, and there were countless arrows. You are all well trained, well armoured, well armoured, and even better, the moat has been filled. ”

Many people in the team nodded in agreement.

After a pause, Ji Dan continued: "The defending team is a cobbled together rabble without weapons and armor, but we are five times as many elite divisions with sophisticated weapons. As long as we rush over and storm it, it won't take half a day for the royal city to be taken. ”

The soldiers were already excited.

"Take the royal city and avenge the two Zhou dukes!" Ji Dan shouted hoarsely.

Although Jiang Fan and several other generals vaguely felt that this was not the case, they knew that their morale was low now, and if they wanted to win this battle, they could only boost their morale according to the will of the Eastern Zhou Duke, so they shouted: "Take the royal city and avenge the two Zhou dukes!" ”

The soldiers also shouted: "Take the royal city and avenge the two Zhou dukes." ”

Ji Dan was secretly happy in his heart, and issued a siege order: "Liu Feng takes Lin Fang's place and leads his men and horses to attack the city wall; Wenxiu still attacked the city gates; Jiang Fan was responsible for transporting all kinds of siege equipment; The others were all pressed to the foot of the city wall with their father. ”

"No!" After Liu Feng received the order, he rushed towards the royal city with the more than 10,000 troops left by Lin Fang. His archers are lost, and he will inevitably be severely punished after he goes back, God is pitiful, Lin Fang is suddenly gone, and the heavy responsibility of attacking the city actually fell on him, as long as he takes the royal city, not only will he not be punished, but he may be rewarded, this is really a joy from heaven!

Wenxiu followed closely with the three thousand soldiers who attacked the city gate, followed by the five or six thousand people of Jiang Fan's subordinates who survived the catastrophe, carrying ladders and pushing carts, and passed the moat one after another; Finally, it was the finale of Ji Dan's more than 10,000 troops.
