500 sieges
On the evening of the second day, Li Yu led an army of 3,000 to arrive, and the rumbling iron hooves really shocked everyone in Qi'an Mansion, especially those people who lacked training on the city wall. He was born in the Great Chu army, and he couldn't know the elite of the god captain, and if he wanted to use these people to resist the iron hooves of the Great Chu, he would undoubtedly dream with an idiot, but did he still have a choice?
Snorted coldly, Wei Jiangtao said in a deep voice: "The four gates are on alert, and any abnormal movement will be reported immediately." When the words fell, Wei Jiangtao left without looking back, and looking at the main general who was becoming more and more irritable, all the generals had a wry smile on their faces, and many people regretted following Wei Jiangtao to defect from Dachu.
After circling around Qi'an City, Li Yu returned to the camp and bowed to the main general Zhang Yaowei: "The last general Li Yu came to restore his life." ”
Looking at Li Yu, Zhang Yaowei said slowly: "General Li has worked hard all the way, I will rest tonight and attack the city tomorrow morning." ”
Hearing Zhang Yaowei's words, most of the generals were a little surprised, not surprised by the siege of the city tomorrow, but surprised by Zhang Yaowei's decision today. Shenji Lieutenant has a total of three provinces and nine brigades, the three mansions are Dewei, Huwei, Zhenwei, this time to send troops to Qi'an to Zhenwei Mansion a total of 6,000 soldiers and horses, so, as long as the capture of Qi'an Mansion, military merit will definitely be inevitable Zhenwei Army, but Zhang Yaohui pursues the golden mean, for military merit has always been divided equally between the three provinces, so it can be loved by all the soldiers. This time, the Zhenwei army has swept away the surrounding states and counties, and it stands to reason that the heavy responsibility of attacking the city should be handed over to the other two armies, but the main general has also been handed over to the Zhenwei army, how not to surprise the generals?
Don't talk about the others, even Li Yu looked at the main general Zhang Yaowei in shock. Seeing this, Zhang Yaowei snorted coldly and then opened his mouth and said, "What, don't you dare?" ”
In an instant, Li Yu had come back to his senses, and hurriedly bowed: "The last general has been ordered, and he will definitely live up to the general's high hopes and take Qi'an Mansion." ”
After looking at Li Yu for a moment, Zhang Yaowei turned his gaze to Chen Xiao, opened his mouth and said, "General Chen, you don't stop feintting to attack Qi'an tonight, and you must make the Qi'an army become tired." ”
Without any hesitation, Chen Xiao bowed down and bowed: "The last general will be ordered." ”
Nodding at Chen Xiao, Zhang Yaowei looked at Jiang Mingde, the partial general of the Huwei Army, and said: "General Jiang, the Japanese general will let go of the West Gate tomorrow, and the Huwei Army will intercept the rebels in a complicated manner, especially Wei Jiangtao and the rebels, if they slip away from your Huwei Army, don't blame the general for being ruthless." ”
Facing the military order, Jiang Mingde naturally didn't dare to hesitate, bowed down and bowed: "The last general will get the order!" ”
Rushing at Jiang Mingde, Zhang Yaowei glanced at the generals and opened his mouth and said: "My Divine Captain is created by Fang Dashuai, the real elite division, if you break your wings Qi'an, everyone, don't wait for the Holy Lord's punishment, I will touch my neck." Okay, the general will stop talking nonsense, and will go down to prepare and attack the city tomorrow morning. ”
When Zhang Yaowei's words fell, all the generals bowed in unison: "The last general will be ordered." ”
Seeing that the crowd was leaving, Zhang Yaowei put his eyes on the face of Guo Nanying, and opened his mouth to ask, "Brother Guo, have you found anything?" ”
Although he believes in this group of old brothers who have been with him for many years, Zhang Yaowei is very clear that people's hearts are unpredictable, if he defeats Qi'an, he will not only smash the name of the god captain, but also live up to the trust of the saint and the seventh prince, and he is the eternal sinner of Dachu. Therefore, the military orders issued by Zhang Yaowei were all designated by Guo Nanying, the chief historian, and it was necessary to take them by surprise, and at the same time take the opportunity to investigate the reactions of the generals.
Shaking his head at Zhang Yaowei, Guo Nanying opened his mouth and said, "General, no abnormality was found. ”
Zhang Yaowei didn't speak immediately, shook his head after a moment of silence and said, "I hope I'm going to worry too much." Brother Guo, you take a break first, and you will be busy in a while. ”
Guo Nanying knew that tomorrow was a big deal, so she stopped talking nonsense, clenched her fists and said, "Okay, the general will rest early." ”
Seeing Guo Nanying leave, Zhang Yaowei closed his eyes but never rested, and the situation of the military discussion just now appeared in his mind over and over again, for fear that there was anything missing.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, just after the hour, several fires burst out in the city of Qi'an, and most of them are the houses of rich and noble families. It should have been ordered, although the fire was soaring, the Taishou Mansion and the Qi'an camp did not move at all, and the silence was terrifying. In the deathly silence, a rapid drum beat suddenly sounded, and the army of Captain Shenji began to attack the city.
Hearing the sound of drums, Wei Jiangtao suddenly opened his eyes, two cold lights burst out in his slender eyes, and he said to himself: "It's finally here, then let's fight!" In the midst of the loud cheers, Wei Jiangtao stood up, glanced at the generals and ordered directly: "Xu Hong, East Gate; Guo Kaishun, Ximen; Yan Junbo, South Gate, go! ”
When Wei Jiangtao's words fell, the three people he ordered bowed at the same time: "The last general will be ordered." ”
Without waiting for Xu Hong and the three of them to walk out of the lobby, Wei Jiangtao continued: "The rest of the generals, go to the north gate with the generals." Ladies and gentlemen, if this battle is lost, what will happen to you, you don't need to say it clearly, set off. At the end of the words, Wei Jiangtao strode out.
Taishou Mansion, instead of the hustle and bustle outside, the sky is dark, like a giant beast in the wilderness, quiet and terrifying. It is also true that Sun Hou sent several waves of people into the Taishou Mansion, but they all disappeared quietly and failed to stir up a ripple. Standing on a high place and looking at the Taishou Mansion, Sun Hou was silent for a moment and finally made a decision, and opened his mouth to say: "Closely monitor, you are allowed to enter but not to go out." ”
When Sun Hou's words fell, several horses rushed out of the Taishou Mansion and galloped towards the north gate. Seeing this, a cold light flashed in Sun Hou's eyes, and he said coldly: "Kill!" ”
Soon, several crossbow arrows were fired from the darkness, and most of the knights were killed, except for one who escaped and was beheaded by the Eagle Guard. After another moment, a man in black walked quickly with a bloodstained letter in his hand and said, "Grandpa, this is the letter that was found." ”
After opening the letter and scanning his eyes, Sun Hou's face changed slightly, and two cold lights burst out in his eyes. The epistle is very simple, only numbers, feints, no chaos, and siege at dawn.
Sun Hou has been in Qi'an for two days and does not know the siege plan of the Shenji Captain, but with this letter, Sun Hou can be sure that this is the siege plan of the Shenji Captain, and it seems that there are really internal thieves. Thinking of this, Sun Hou packed the letter again and said to the man in black beside him: "Go out of the city immediately and hand it over to the prince." ”
Even though Sun Hou stopped several waves of messenger scouts, Wei Jiangtao still got the news, and it was very detailed. After thinking for a moment, Wei Jiangtao couldn't help laughing, not because it was better tonight, but because the Three Rabbits were able to get such confidential information, so it was not impossible for the Divine Machine Captain to defeat Qi An. Thinking of this, Wei Jiangtao was a little excited, and shouted: "Summoning the other three gates, tonight is a feint, be careful." ”
Wei Jiangtao's military order soon spread to the other three gates, not to mention that they also noticed something unusual, the attack of the Divine Captain seemed ferocious, but the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, it should be as the intelligence said, tonight is just a feint to consume their strength and spirit, waiting for the official siege tomorrow.
In this way, the attack stopped, and the time and the son passed unconsciously, and when it was ugly, Zhang Yaowei, the chief general of the Shenji Captain, quietly appeared in the camp of the Zhenwei army. Seeing Zhang Yaowei, although Li Yu was surprised, he immediately bowed: "Meet the general!" ”
"No need to be polite." Echoing casually, Zhang Yaowei stared at Li Yu and said, "General Li, you immediately order all the troops and horses to start the siege, the north gate." ”
Suddenly, Li Yu couldn't help but be stunned. Li Yu can become the commander of the Zhenwei army is not incompetent, the military situation agreed on last night, the night feint attack at dawn, but now he has to lead the army to attack the city, this move is of course to confuse the enemy, but why not confuse his own people? With this thought in his heart, Li Yu couldn't help but think of Wei Jiangtao's rebellion, and let out a sigh in his heart.
Although he had all kinds of thoughts in his heart, Li Yu's expression did not change, and he bowed down and bowed: "The last general will be ordered." ”
After all, it is an elite division, and after receiving the order, the Zhenwei army quickly prepared and quietly appeared outside the east gate. Seeing Zhenwei's army, Chen Xiao was taken aback, and looked at the main general Zhang Yaowei with confusion. Zhang Yaowei didn't explain, and said in a deep voice: "Start the siege, General Chen, you attack the east gate." The two of you, whoever attacks Qi'an first will be credited with the first credit. ”
Hearing the military order, Chen Xiao hurriedly bowed and said, "The last general will be ordered." After bowing down, Chen Xiao beat the horse and left, and the sound of rumbling horses' hooves came far away.
Looking at Qi Ancheng, Li Yu's face was full of excitement, but the commander of the army had not been reckless for many years, and he soon had a plan, and whispered something to the generals beside him, and the generals had a smile on their faces when they heard it. Seeing this scene, Zhang Yaowei set his eyes on Qi'an Mansion, and his calm eyes did not see any joy, but an indescribable sadness.
Knowing that Da Chu was just feinting, many soldiers on the city wall were slackened, not to mention that the Shenji Lieutenant was going to start attacking the city tomorrow morning, and they had to maintain enough physical strength and spirit. Sitting on the city tower, Wei Jiangtao's closed eyes seemed to be asleep, but suddenly a rapid shout sounded, and said, "General, it's not good, the god captain has begun to attack the city." ”
Wei Jiangtao was just closing his eyes and meditating, and when he heard the shouting, he opened his eyes and shouted, "What? In the exclamation that he couldn't help but exclaim, Wei Jiangtao suddenly jumped up and strode out, but as soon as he walked on the city, several feathered arrows galloped over.
The feather arrow was easily blocked by the guards on Wei Jiangtao's side, just looking at the dense human heads under the city tower, how did Wei Jiangtao not know that he had been deceived, the feint attack was just a disguise, just confusing everyone, Zhang Yaowei was already confusing everyone. Taking a deep breath and suppressing all the thoughts in his heart, Wei Jiangtao said in a deep voice: "The army is on alert, and we must block the first two shocks of Da Chu." ”
The offensive of the Zhenwei army was very fierce, under the dense suppression of feather arrows, dozens of strong men of three or five thick carried long logs and crashed into the city gate, each impact would make a loud noise, and at the same time, several teams of armor soldiers carried ladders and prepared to climb the city wall.
Seeing this scene, especially the many young men hiding behind the city wall under the suppression of feather arrows and not daring to raise their heads, Wei Jiangtao was extremely angry, and shouted: "Zhenghai, take the generals to rush up, you must block the first wave of offensives, in addition, there are those who are afraid of war, slash!" ”
Wei Zhenghai knew that the situation was grim, and he also knew that these young men would inevitably be afraid when they went to the battlefield for the first time without training, and moreover, he had a bad premonition in his heart. After looking at Wei Jiangtao for a moment, Wei Zhengyang bowed down and led the guards to press up, because they had no way to retreat.
Wei Jiangtao understood the meaning in Wei Zhengyang's eyes, and although he was a little helpless in his heart, he put away all his emotions in an instant, and shouted in a deep voice: "Order General Ximen Guo to immediately lead troops to support this general." ”
