Chapter 177: Siege and Reinforcements
From the next day, the entire Xiangyang City was in a sensation, and from time to time there was a burst of shouting and killing, and Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu basically stayed on the city wall and never came down!
There is no other reason, this bandit of Qingfeng Mountain is too capable of fighting, he launches an attack every half an hour, and a big attack in less than two hours!
In many cases, Chen Sheng thought that they were about to be breached, but at this time, the bandits actually retreated, and this happened many times!
And what impressed Chen Sheng the most was that almost every day there would be a different army attacking than before, and over time, Chen Sheng finally thought of a conspiracy by Li Ziqiang. That's training!
Fighting another group of bandits, Chen Sheng gasped and leaned against the city wall.
He muttered, "Damn bandits." ”
A man with a curly appearance walked over and said to Chen Sheng, "My lord, we have lost six hundred brothers in this battle. ”
For so many days, Chen Sheng was already immune to these casualties, and Chen Sheng said expressionlessly: "How many people are left now?" ”
Qu Chang smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, we have five thousand veterans here, and now there are less than two thousand, and the five thousand young men who came one after another are now less than a thousand." ”
Chen Sheng frowned and said, "What about the other city walls." ”
Qu Chang said in a deep voice: "My lord, we now only have more than 3,800 veterans left, young and strong, more than 5,000 people. ”
Chen Sheng frowned and said, "We don't have enough manpower. ”
"Someone."
A herald came up and said, "My subordinates are here." ”
"If you go to Lord Thorn Shi, you will say that our army is struggling, and let him find another 5,000 young people to come over, and the speed must be fast." Chen Sheng didn't know how many times he had given these orders.
And this herald obviously received such an order many times, and said in a deep voice: "No, my subordinates retire." ”
At this moment, the bandits' attack began again, listening to the desolate drumming outside the city, Chen Sheng felt a wave of irritability in his heart, and roared angrily: "Fuck, there's no end." ”
However, Chen Sheng just muttered, and he immediately roared angrily: "The whole army is ready to fight." ”
The officers and soldiers also stood listlessly and prepared for battle.
Qingfeng Mountain Camp, on a high platform, Li Ziqiang looked into the distance with a self-made binocular, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said loudly: "These officers and soldiers are already at the end of their crossbows, so there is nothing to worry about. ”
Jia Xu nodded and said, "Yes, according to my observation, the troops facing Xiangyang City are mainly young and strong, and the real officers and soldiers should be less than 4,000 people!" Moreover, they have almost run out of arrows. ”
Li Ziqiang said in a deep voice: "It's okay in this way, it can still play a role in training, and our losses will be reduced a lot!" By the way, what are our casualties now? ”
Jia Xu smiled and said: "Young village master, we have now killed three thousand people in the battle, but we have added five thousand people!" Moreover, these 5,000 people are all really young and strong! ”
Li Ziqiang said with emotion: "One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither." ”
Jia Xu looked at Li Ziqiang and didn't know why he would sigh like this. But Jia Xu still comforted: "This is war." ”
Li Ziqiang smiled and said, "Yes, this is war. ”
"Report." A fast horse galloped towards Li Ziqiang.
Li Ziqiang smiled at Jia Xu and said, "Let's go, let's go and see if there is any good news." ”
Jia Xu responded: "No." ”
The scout immediately turned over and dismounted, and saluted Li Ziqiang: "Young village master, we have found a large number of officers and soldiers fifty miles away, it seems that they are the troops of Hangu Pass. ”
Li Ziqiang said loudly: "You have done a good job, tell Luther, give me a good look at this army of officers and soldiers." ”
The scout responded: "No, the young master." ”
With that, the scout got on his horse and left quickly.
Li Ziqiang laughed and said: "Yes, now is the time for us to perform, come here, beat the drum and gather the generals." ”
Bang, bang, bang, the mighty drums sounded.
Wang Li, who was attacking, heard the sound of drums, did not dare to slack off, explained a word, and left quickly.
Qingfeng Mountain camp, inside the handsome tent.
Li Ziqiang said to the elites of Qingfeng Mountain below: "Everyone, let me tell you a good news, the reinforcements of the officers and soldiers have finally arrived. ”
When everyone heard the good news, they all geared up, among which Zhou Cang was the most happy.
Zhou Cang muttered: "His grandmother's, these turtle grandsons have finally appeared, and I don't have to wait for Lao Zhou for a long time." ”
Pei Yuanshao even asked directly: "Young village master, hand over this group of officers and soldiers to our crime war group, I promise to beat them to the ground!" ”
Gan Ning said: "Young master, leave it to us Jinfan Group." ”
Li Ziqiang looked at the people who were invited to fight, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Hehe, it's all quiet, let's listen to the arrangements of the military division." ”
Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "Everyone, in this battle, we not only have to win, but also win with glory and beauty, and we can't let a single officer and soldier escape, so the battle order is as follows." ”
Everyone was in awe.
Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "This battle is based on the wolf cavalry battalion, the crime battle regiment, the Jinfan regiment, and the wolf army as the auxiliary. Jia Xu set the tone at once. Zhou Cang and Gan Ning pouted, it was obvious that they were not very satisfied with this order!
However, they didn't say anything, because Li Ziqiang has been instilling a spirit -- soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty! After such a long time, although Gan Ning and Zhou Cang did not understand the essence of it, they also knew that Li Ziqiang did not like people who bargained.
"Huang Zhong listens to orders."
"The subordinates are here."
"Order your troops to take the lead in the charge, destroy the defenses of the officers and soldiers in one fell swoop, and then wander in all directions, not a single officer and soldier can escape!"
Huang Zhonglang said: "Your subordinates respect the order." ”
"Pei Yuanshao listens to orders."
Pei Yuanshao yelled excitedly: "The subordinates are here." ”
Jia Xu glanced at Pei Yuanshao and said in a deep voice: "Order your troops to immediately kill the officers and soldiers after launching a charge in the wolf cavalry battalion, and completely disrupt the officers and soldiers." ”
Pei Yuanshao responded: "No, my subordinates respect the order." ”
Jia Xu looked at Gan Ning and said in a deep voice: "Gan Ning listens to orders. ”
"The subordinates are here."
"Order you to lead the men and horses of your headquarters to surround the officers and soldiers, and not let the officers and soldiers escape."
"Subordinate Order."
"Zhou Cang listens to orders."
Zhou Cang said weakly: "The subordinates are here." ”
"Order your unit to be the second line of defense of the whole army, not to let a single officer and soldier escape, if an officer and soldier run away, I want you to look good."
Zhou Cang responded: "Subordinate orders." ”
Li Ziqiang shouted: "Very good, our combat location is three acres of land twenty miles away. Go and prepare now, and set out in a quarter of an hour! ”
The crowd replied, "No." ”
