Chapter 165: Inflection Point
In Suzhou City, Song Kai faced the rising sun, constantly breathing and breathing, this trembling breath has been uninterrupted for a year, and now he finally has some induction, at least, Song Kai feels that he can fight with a character like Zhou Ce for a few rounds now.
"Report!"
The sound of spies sounded outside the inn.
"Come in," Song Kai said slowly.
A man dressed in civilian clothes came in, bowed his head and said, "Report, Song Dianjia, the 100,000 troops of the Zhou State have occupied Wuxi City and are rushing towards Suzhou City." ”
Song Kai nodded, "I see." ”
The spies went down, and then ran to Wang Lingzhi's mansion.
Song Kai took a bath and thought about his thoughts, he knew that what was supposed to come was coming after all.
"Report!"
Not long after, there was another sound outside.
Song Kai had just taken a shower, he frowned, walked out, and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"Back to Songdian's house, the 100,000 troops of the Zhou State have captured Taiping Guo and are rushing towards Suzhou City."
"Huh?" Song Kai really frowned this time, although Wuxi City and Taipingguo are both small cities, and there are not many defenders, but the speed of this advance is a bit too fast.
"Probe again, in addition, inform the battlefield situation and who the leader is one by one," Song Kai waved his hand.
"Yes!"
The spies go down.
Song Kai stood in the courtyard, frowning slightly.
Qing Niang walked out and looked up at Song Kai with a little anxiety in her eyes, "Young Master, there is going to be a war after all, right?" ”
Song Kai nodded and touched Qing Niang's head.
"Young master, when you were fighting, you ...... Can you not get out of town? Qing Niang pulled Song Kai's arm, worried.
Song Kai laughed, "Of course you don't go out of the city, let's just wait here for the rabbit." ”
Not long after, the spies reported again that the 100,000 military horses of the Zhou State had arrived fifty miles outside Suzhou, and the general's surname was Zhao, named Zhao Hong, who was born in a family, and marched and fought very well.
Song Kai nodded and said, "Let's get ready." ”
The spies went down, and Song drove on his horse and rushed towards the city tower.
When he arrived at the city tower, Wang Lingzhi was already wearing light armor and carrying a curved bow on his back, standing on it.
Song Kai beckoned to Wang Lingzhi and walked over.
Wang Lingzhi nodded lightly, "The person who sent troops this time is Zhao Hong, this person is proficient in the art of war, and he is the best at attacking cities, I think, the purpose of their trip is not Suzhou City, it should be the area of Hangzhou." ”
Song Kai nodded, "It should be so, 100,000 troops, they still look down on a lonely city, but I'm afraid that they will disappoint them, in front of my Suzhou City, it will definitely be difficult for them to move forward." ”
"What if it's a siege?" Wang Lingzhi said.
"They don't have that time," Song Kai laughed, "no one will spend hundreds of thousands of troops and spend three months besieging Suzhou City, don't worry." ”
As he spoke, Song Kai raised the telescope in his hand and looked into the distance, the flags fluttered in the distance, the army was bright in armor, and the queue was neat......
"I don't know who this person is, whether he is famous in history or not," Song Kai muttered, "Looking at the formation of this marching army, it should be not bad." ”
"What did you say?" Wang Lingzhi asked, she didn't have much fear. 、
"It's nothing, hehe, it looks like it's going to be a tough fight," Song Kai grinned.
The army marched towards the city of Suzhou.
Under the banner of the middle general, a young man pointed to Suzhou City, and said with a smile: "Father, let the child personally lead the troops to this battle." ”
The boy is Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Hong nodded, "Children need to be careful. ”
In fact, there is really nothing to be careful about, along the way, the city is as easy as stepping on grass, no matter how strong the city, in front of the trebuchet, as fragile as rice paper.
Zhao Kuangyin looked at the city tower in the distance, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he waved his hand, and said, "Let the messenger go and persuade him to surrender first." ”
An envoy rode quickly to the castle tower, and just as he was about to speak, an arrow feather of a "whoosh" pierced directly through the horse's head under the envoy.
The horses fell to the ground and died in an instant.
The messenger was so frightened that he rolled around and crawled back.
"Haha! Good! ”
"Holy Goddess Technique!"
"Hurry up and get back!"
The soldiers on the tower laughed, diluting a lot of the tense atmosphere.
Song Kai waved his hand, and the soldiers stopped laughing.
Song Kai held a big horn and said downward: "The messenger of ** urine flow, go back and tell your master that when attacking the city, you must wear a helmet, otherwise, the next arrow will pierce his head." ”
The messenger ran back.
Zhao Kuangyin's face turned pale, "It's still strong when you die!" Kill this useless messenger, mess with our army, catapults, siege ladders, and advance! ”
At this time, the siege equipment has been very perfect, there are powerful catapults, enough to talk about the city wall smashing couch, there are also siege ladders, that is, the kind of shelves that are higher than the city walls, there are baffles in front of the shelves, after the soldiers climb the siege ladders, they stand higher than the soldiers of the city walls, so that they can stand on the siege ladder and put arrows on the city tower, and they can also directly push the siege ladder into the city tower, and the soldiers above can jump on the city tower.
The Immortal Sect on the city wall of Suzhou was a little nervous, facing the 100,000 army, the black oppressive crowd, and the bright siege equipment, no one was not nervous.
Song Kai took a deep breath and said loudly: "All archers prepare!" All gunners, adjust direction, aim, catapult and siege ladder! ”
"Yes!"
Hearing Song Kai's order, the soldiers on the city tower moved quickly.
This is an unequal war, even if the other party has 100,000 elite soldiers, in Song Kai's view, it is still an unequal war, because he occupies the right time and place!
Tianshi, because his side is not in a hurry, and the other party needs to quickly take Suzhou City.
The location is advantageous, and their own side is high above the city tower, and these city walls, at the critical stage, have adopted the concrete pouring method of later generations, even if the catapult is smashed, it has no effect at all.
He, the whole city on his side is united, even if the other party has an army of 200,000, Song Kai is not afraid.
Catapults and siege ladders advanced slowly, followed by 50,000 black pressed elite soldiers.
The archers and gunners on the city tower were nervously preparing, waiting for Song Kai's order.
Song Kai was not in a hurry, he kept staring at the position of the main general, he had already ordered ten batteries, and when he attacked, he would aim at the position of the general.
"Hey...... Call...... Hey...... Roar ......"
The soldiers below shouted slogans and slowly advanced, and the black-pressed soldiers were already within range of the archers, with dense steel shields in the front row and tall siege ladders in the back.
Song Kai still didn't speak.
"Hey...... Call...... Hey...... Roar ......"
The soldiers are still advancing.
In the middle position, Zhao Kuangyin had already laughed, the other party must be stupid, under this dense defense, unless you go out of the city to fight, or throw boulders, otherwise, ordinary bows and arrows are useless.
Song Kai was still waiting, he was waiting for the main general to enter the range of the artillery.
"Hey-roar!"
The army stopped, and then the siege ladders began to be erected, and the trebuchets began to prepare.
Song Kai raised his hand and said loudly: "All shooters are ready...... Put! (To be continued.) )
