Chapter 122: Thoughts

Wang Teng's military order to recruit the young and strong people in the city soon reached the ears of the prefect Bai Enyuan, "A mere nine-grade inspection dares to recruit villagers? Is Wang Teng tired of being alive? ”

"My lord, Wang Teng is in the name of convicting Wei Yuan"

Bai Enyuan's arrogance was somewhat restrained, "What is Wei Yuan?" This official is the prefect of Ulju."

Yes, the prefect who is afraid of death like a turtle with a shrunken head!

The guards slandered in their hearts, but they persuaded earnestly in their mouths: "My lord, Wang Teng can't move, this time he captured the Jurchen Jialazhang Jingwuda, with Wei Yuan as a backer, and a large number of reinforcements outside to respond at any time, it is no longer an idle thing."

"Hmph, it's just a fluke that captured Uda, this official wants to see how far he can defend!"

Having said that, however, Bai Enyuan still seems to be very inward-looking, although he is greedy for money and lustful, he also knows that Zhu Jixun and Wei Yuan will not look at the wrong person, as long as Wang Teng can really hold Ulzhou, he will never make trouble in secret.

This is a matter of life and death, no matter how good Wang Teng is, he is just a nine-grade inspection, but if it is replaced by Jiannu to break the city, the result will be different.

……

Outside the city of Ulzhou, Du Gin set aside a hundred mobile troops, ready to rescue at any time, in addition, eight or nine hundred Jurchen elites were thrown into the siege of the city.

The dense Houjin sergeants swept in like locusts, carrying ladders and huge wooden stakes, and rushed forward with a roar.

Arrows rained down on the city, and there were only about a hundred or so soldiers who could hold bows and shoot well, and the arrows shot by so many people could not stop the crazy rogues.

Wang Teng brought seven or eight fresh troops to become the main force among the archers, beside them, the archers of the defenders were already a little exhausted, although they rested for a whole day yesterday, but the scars on their fingers could not be concealed.

One hundred, fifty, thirty, ten, the Houjin sergeants quickly crossed the moat, their heavy footsteps on the river ice making a "creaking" sound.

"Where is the rolling wood?"

"In"

"Ready, put!"

The defenders lifted huge logs, and several of them worked together to push down the city.

The logs that rolled down fell from high and fell to the ground, injuring five people on the spot, and the nearby Houjin sergeant cursed, still climbing the ladder, trying to climb the city wall, at this time, the still strong rolling log rolled down with inertia, and the Houjin sergeant cursed and cursed viciously, but he had to dodge.

In a desperate situation, the defenders of Ulju burst out with fierce fighting spirit, and they vowed to defend Ulju like beasts that did not know the pain.

The Tartars have been attacking the border year after year, but there are few times when Ulju has soldiers coming to the city.

Most of the elites who can fight and dare to fight have been lost, and now the city is mostly villagers who have not been warn, and they have never seen such a fierce Tartar who is not afraid of death.

Wei Yuan arrived in time at this time, he walked behind the guards with a group of officials, and he could vaguely hear him shouting hysterically: "Jiannu is just hungry and crazy, as long as you block this wave of their attacks, this Ulzhou will be saved, your family, wives and daughters, rice, money, and grain can be preserved, if you can't resist it, let Jiannu enter the city, this great city will fall into the hands of those beasts, and none of you will want to escape!" ”

As if in order to enhance the confidence of the soldiers, Wei Yuan shouted again: "An hour, as long as an hour passes, there will be a steady stream of villagers rushing to help, if this battle is a big victory, each person will be rewarded with three hundred yuan afterwards!" ”

For the villagers who are accustomed to seeing Bai Enyuan's dime, three hundred yuan per person is enough to be satisfied.

With the combination of grace and power, a variety of means came out at the same time, and the Ulzhou army had more confidence to dare to fight.

Under the city, the Houjin sergeants were still attacking rapidly.

Before the attack, all the sergeants had eaten their hearts, wiped their mouths, brandished their blood-stained weapons, and rushed forward with loud howls.

The grain has been eaten up, and some of the Jurchens know the allusion to the destruction of the cauldron and the shipwreck, and they distributed all the hidden food in order to make everyone cut themselves off and give birth to a murderous intent.

Only by entering the city can you live!

The autumn wind whistled past his ears, and the arrows fell at his feet, but the Jurchen sergeant only spat contemptuously and continued to move forward.

Kill, kill the head of the city, kill all the Han people.

More than 800 Jurchen sergeants followed one another, like tireless moths that do not know the pain, vowing to plunge into the life-devouring flames.

Hong Chengchou's soldiers and horses had just come to a place thirty miles outside the city at this time, and the cavalry of the sentry had already come to report that the Tartars had begun to attack the city, and a fierce battle was raging under the city.

Is it to rush to help, or to let the soldiers rest their overall strength, and then kill the exhausted Jurchens in one go?

Naturally the latter, Ulzhou is just a city with strong political significance in Hong Chengchou's opinion, as long as it is not completely occupied by the Jurchens, in fact, it will not have much impact if it arrives a little late.

The Hong army trained by Hong Chengchou is the foundation of his life, and it is naturally the best thing to be able to reduce the loss.

No matter how incompetent Bai Enyuan is, if he relies on the strength of the city, he should be able to last for an hour.

One hour, enough for the army to arrive.

The cold wind is like a knife, and even if the sun is high, it is difficult to dispel the chill that permeates the whole city.

However, the real cold came from the attack of the Tartars under the city.

Within an hour, the frenzied Jurchen soldiers had already attacked the city many times, and if it weren't for the steady stream of villagers, perhaps the city would have changed hands.

The number of Jurchen soldiers who fell and killed and injured under the city had already passed a hundred, but those Jurchen soldiers who were alive were still charging into battle without fear of death.

The defenders of the city have long been exhausted, if the Tartars do not attack, it is fine, they can still rely on the city wall to have the courage to bargain for some cheapness, but once the Tartars climb into the city, the defenders in the four places will always have a gap in the moment, and they dare not besiege and kill in time.

The generals are brave, and the defenders do not have suitable generals, so it is difficult to fight a decent counterattack.

Before, the Ulzhou army relied on Zhu Jixun's bloody struggle to ensure the existence of the city, and now, Huang Degong has joined the battle group, but the Tartars who went and returned have all the tricks to deal with it.

As soon as Huang Degong came forward, the Jurchen sergeant blocked his weapon with an iron shield.

There is no doubt that this method is a trick that the Jurchen commander came up with overnight, and I have to say that there is indeed a set.

Once Huang Degong's counterattack is restrained and engaged in close combat, who can be a vicious Tartar opponent?

Wei Yuan's face was gloomy, in an hour, the number of damaged defenders plus the common people had already climbed to more than five hundred, if it continued like this, if the reinforcements did not arrive, even if the villagers helped, I was afraid that it would be difficult to resist the invasion of the Tartars.

Reinforcements, will there be reinforcements in this Ulju City?

When Wei Yuan was hopeless, it was Wang Teng who appeared in time to renew his life for Ulzhou.

Now, Wang Teng has replaced Zhu Jixun's position, but who will take the place of Wang Teng's reinforcements to come to the rescue?

I'm afraid that Ulzhou will be abandoned and no one will come to help, in that case, Ulzhou will really be finished.
