Chapter 327: Soldiers Coming to the City
The fire in the city was all over the sky, reflecting half of the sky faintly red, and the soldiers of the southern battalion guarding the camp outside the city listened to the shouts and screams, and were very nervous when they looked at the black city gate, although they couldn't see the situation inside, they could judge that it should not be better according to the current situation, because, the team sent out to investigate before had been shot in front of the city, if Li Jun had an advantage in the city, where could there be such a strict defense on the head of the city.
However, they did not dare to attack rashly, because now there were very few defenders left, and if they rashly attacked the city, not to mention that there was no strength to defend the city, it would be a big problem whether they could attack the front of the city wall.
Just as the guards were in a hurry to move around the camp, the soldiers in charge of the guard quickly ran back and shouted: "Oh no, no, there is a large group of men and horses in the rear." ”
"What?" The guard was suddenly surprised: "How many people are here?" ”
The soldier's face turned pale and said: "I can't see it really, the black pressure is overwhelming, I don't know how many people and horses, anyway, there are a lot of torches, and I can't see the end at a glance!" ”
"So many people?" The guard's eyes widened, but then, as if he had thought of something, he asked, "Can you see clearly?" Is it the centaur of the road? What is written on the banner? ”
The soldier said: "Book a 'Yue' word!" ”
"The word 'Yue'?" The guard was suddenly overjoyed: "It's the emperor's person who is here!" ”
"General, what if it's King Liang's people pretending?" The soldier was a little suspicious, mainly because he was frightened when he robbed the camp before, so the whole person became suspicious.
"Smack!" A slap came over, and the guard's face sank: "What do you know?" If King Liang has so many people, will he still guard the city and dare not come out? ”
"Yes yes yes ......"
"Go and inform the soldiers and prepare to meet the emperor." The guard's expression was a little excited, originally he was very anxious in his heart, he was very worried about the brothers who went deep into the city but there was nothing to do, if he didn't move, he was afraid that he would be blamed by the court at that time, if he moved, but he couldn't move, and now Yue Shao'an's arrival was undoubtedly to take all his problems away.
As soon as Yue Shao'an came, Yue Shao'an became the supreme commander here, for him, it was enough to follow the orders of his superiors, and what responsibilities he had were naturally from above.
Therefore, he had already forgotten why Li Jun was so late tonight, Li Jun was afraid that Yue Shaoan would take credit, but he was not afraid, as long as a middle-level general like him won the battle, he would definitely have a share of credit, as for following the commander, it was not the same.
On weekdays, he would be afraid of Li Jun's majesty and dare not obey Yue Shao'an's dispatch, but now that Li Jun is trapped in the city, he is following the emperor to save the marshal, and the marshal should have no reason to blame himself.
After thinking about this, he came out with the few remaining guards in the camp, and greeted the emperor with torches.
The sergeants of the West Battalion came quickly, although the wind and dust servants were all but they were full of fighting spirit, Yue Shao'an had already let the cronies from Kaizhou release the news, after each war, Yue Marshal would treat the brothers well, the reward was naturally indispensable, and those with a little merit could get a lot of rewards, and there must be brave men under the so-called heavy rewards, not to mention that these sergeants in the West Battalion were all afraid of the previous commander, Yue Shao'an now not only does not deduct military salaries, but also has another reward. That alone is enough to make them die.
In this way, in fact, the previous commander-in-chief criticized the soldiers so harshly, although it made the army's morale unstable and the combat power decreased a lot, but it was not completely beneficial to Yue Shaoan, just like a person who was about to starve to death, if you gave him a meal, he would be grateful, and if a person who had no worries about food and clothing every day wanted him to be grateful, it would take much more effort.
In this way, it is much easier for the soldiers of the West Battalion to be subdued, with these previous conditions, coupled with the full cooperation of Niu Qing and Wen Chengfang, in this short period of time, Yue Shaoan has twisted the West Battalion into an iron plate, although the soldiers' individual combat ability has not improved much because of the short time, but the overall combat power is much stronger.
Just looking at today's march, rushing overnight, the soldiers still maintain a neat military appearance, walk in unison, walk majestic, and have a high momentum, you can see some clues.
The guards looked at such a military appearance, and couldn't help but be in awe, and said that the emperor governed the army well, and in the battle against Jin, he was the only one who won the battle against the four princes of the Jin country.
Although these rumors spread in the mouths of the soldiers, the guards who were middle-level generals understood that at that time, the Liukou led by Wanyanman and the Kaizhou army led by Yue Shaoan were not at the same level, and Yue Shaoan's ability to win against Wanyanman did not prove that he was stronger than Wanyanman, if it was the iron cavalry of the Jin Kingdom led by Wanyanman, then the result would be different.
Therefore, he has never had a kind of admiration for Yue Shao'an like ordinary soldiers, but felt that he was a darling of luck, but when he saw the momentum of the soldiers of the West Battalion today, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, he was able to subdue the 60,000 horses of the West Battalion in such a short period of time, and the West Battalion, which has the weakest combat power among the three major battalions, is called such a mighty division, it seems that this emperor is really not a simple character.
Yue Shao'an rode a red horse, held a spear in his hand, and was dressed in silver armor, although he had a scholarly face, but coupled with his not short stature, he was also majestic.
He raised the spear in his hand and raised it back, and the weapons of the team behind him were all raised high, and a series of armor friction sounds came from ...... "Boom!" With two sounds, more than 60,000 people and horses stopped neatly.
The guard opened his mouth wide in astonishment, he had seen such a formation there, no one in the entire Western Battalion spoke, 60,000 people were quiet here, and the shock in the dark night was too great.
He was stunned for a while before he reacted, hurriedly pulled his horse forward, came to the front, jumped off the horse, knelt on one knee, and shouted loudly: "The Nanda battalion is quite handsome, and the camp will be Wang Hu, see the emperor!" ”
Looking at Wang Hu's appearance, Niu Qing smiled proudly, it seemed that his hardships these days had not been in vain. Yue Shao'an ignored the proud Niu Qing, but drove his horse forward a few steps and said, "General Wang, please get up." What is the current state of war, and where is Commander Lee? ”
Wang Hu stood up, his face was bitter: "The battle situation is unknown, but according to the current situation, it should not be optimistic, the marshal is trapped in the city, and now we can't get in touch, and the people sent out can't get close to the front of the city, which is very difficult." ”
Yue Shaoan nodded, in fact, he had already learned all these news on the road, so he asked it out of respect for the other party, and as for the current countermeasures, he had already thought about it.
After appeasing Wang Hu for a few words, he turned back to Wen Chengfang and said: "Pass the order, let the soldiers open the pot and rebel, and after half an hour, attack the city-"
