Chapter 100: Taking a Desperate Approach (Part 2)
There was a lesson from the previous car that intended to beat the drum and the soldier was killed by an arrow, and then an officer was captured, and the Jizhou soldiers guarding the city did not dare to act rashly for a while, I have to say that the officer surnamed Zhan is usually very good to them, and he has a bite to eat, so he will naturally not forget his soldiers, and he will not forget his soldiers, and he will look helpless while dropping his blade and letting others slaughter him.
In fact, these Jizhou soldiers dressed in Jizhou military uniforms and seemingly rebellious were actually scouts of the Xiao cavalry led by two chiefs, and the purpose of coming was not to attack the city, but to be ordered to explore the reality of Qin County, Jizhou, but when approaching Qin County, they encountered a group of Jizhou soldiers who were looting in the village on the road.
Without hesitation, he resolutely lurked and sneaked attack, with a deliberate calculation or unintentional, and in less than half an hour, nearly 100 Jizhou soldiers were wiped out, and the military uniforms were taken off from the corpses, and the battlefields were quickly cleaned and buried by the corpses.
It turned out that after the Jizhou soldiers occupied Qin County, the county had already been looted by the pioneer He Mao, and a group of Jizhou soldiers who arrived later were empty-handed, and soon people with active minds locked their eyes on the surrounding villages, and many Jizhou soldiers took advantage of the night to leave the barracks without permission to loot the surrounding villages.
I thought everything was going well, but I didn't expect to meet the group of evil stars of the Xiao cavalry army, and suddenly killed them in the night, and a group of Jizhou soldiers were suddenly frightened, it was a completely one-sided slaughter, most of the Jizhou soldiers were killed on the spot, and more than a dozen prisoners were killed in horror, kneeling on the ground and answering questions.
The village where the Xiao cavalry has been burned, the people inside were slaughtered, in order to avenge these unjust souls, then all these prisoners were executed, the leader of the Xiao cavalry army, although these Jizhou army prisoners were skeptical, but still decided to move to Qin County to find out.
Along the way, try to avoid the Jizhou soldiers who are looting, and soon confirmed that the Jizhou soldiers who went out to loot are not a group, seeing that the night is dark, several even chiefs are slightly combined, and boldly decided to go to Qin County, where the Jizhou army is stationed, to find out, and happened to encounter a group of Jizhou soldiers who returned with a full load, and a group of Xiao cavalry soldiers hid their horses in the woods and followed quietly.
I didn't expect to climb the city unexpectedly smooth, very coincidentally to take the city, completely unexpected, although the leader of the Xiao cavalry army immediately sent someone to ride a horse, looking for the Xiao cavalry lurking in the mountain stream not far away, but I am afraid that I will not be able to arrive in time for a while, but fortunately, just now with the thunder to deter the Jizhou soldiers at the head of the city, for a while it was barely able to control the overall situation.
It is very dangerous to occupy the head of the city with only a few dozen people, once the Jizhou soldiers who have changed shifts arrive, or make a strange noise and are detected by the Jizhou army, these dozens of people alone are powerless to fight, even if they want to escape, they will definitely not be able to outrun the galloping cavalry, but for the victory of the entire Xiao cavalry army, a group of Xiao cavalry troops still stayed without hesitation.
Qinxian city gate, this well-repaired border county city wall is quite majestic, it is not easy to enter, but I didn't expect it to be controlled and occupied by the Xiao cavalry at this time, a group of Xiao cavalry soldiers instead of Jizhou soldiers stood guard, all in the hope that the Xiao cavalry army would come as soon as possible, otherwise their sacrifice would be worthless.
"Lao Xu, are you afraid!"
At the head of Qinxian County, a rather lean cavalry commander came slowly, his body was covered with splashed blood, and when he walked, he kept wiping the blood on his armor with the Jizhou army flag that he had torn off, and walked forward with a chuckle, asking another senior of the same level who was leaning against the battlement of the city tower.
"I'm afraid, to be honest, I really want to abandon the city and flee, and return home as soon as possible to see my wife, children, and mother, but if I run away today, I'm afraid I won't have the face to see them again, and I'm even more sorry for the trust of Lord Gongsun." Xu Yan, who was leaning against the wall, thought of his son who had just been born, and his face was full of tenderness for a while.
"I said that you have a wife and children, why bother to come and take risks, let you go to report the news and die, I don't care, even if you die here, it doesn't matter!" The thin man chuckled and said, everyone is afraid of death, just for the sake of beliefs and ideals, if you can help the Xiao cavalry break through Qin County and break the Jizhou army, you will also die well.
"No, Jiao Xing, I heard that you have a good relationship with the eldest lady of the Shen family, it seems that it is because of the hero who saved the beauty, I don't know when you will return with the beauty?" Xu Yan chuckled mockingly.
"That, that's just an acquaintance, it's just a casual thing, it's not what you think, when is it, and you're still in the mood to laugh here, what's the matter, suddenly I'm not afraid!" Jiao Xing smiled slightly embarrassedly, casually threw aside the bloodstained flag and scolded with a smile.
"At your age, you should also take care of yourself and find a mother-in-law who knows cold and hot, but I don't know if Lord Gongsun can catch up in time?" Xu Yan looked at the dark border in the sky, who didn't know when reinforcements would arrive, and between his words seemed to be asking, as if muttering to himself, he said lightly: "Brother Jiao, those people have been solved?" ”
"Well, don't leave any of them, those Jizhou soldiers are already a group of sheep who have lost the power to resist, and there is also a patrol squad that was killed by a sneak attack when it was close to the city, but I don't know how long we can hold on to the city." Jiao Xing's eyes flashed with a hint of disdain, and he seemed to look down on those Jizhou soldiers who gave up resistance.
"That's enough!" Xu Yan nodded slightly, then drew his blade instead, and said categorically: "Let the brothers cheer up, if you don't succeed tonight, you will become benevolent!" ”
At this moment, a cavalry soldier at the head of the city suddenly saw a faint fire in the distance, and immediately reported: "My lord, there is a situation!" Xu Yan and Jiao Xing immediately followed the sound, and sure enough, there was a faint fire in the sky, but the moonlight was dark, and they couldn't tell who it was.
"Could it be the cavalry who rushed to help?" Everyone in the city came up with this idea, and to be precise, it was the result that everyone had been waiting for.
"Quick, go ahead with plan!" Under Xu Yan's order, a group of cavalry soldiers put the torches at the head of the city under the battlements, and the originally bright city head suddenly became much darker, which was the soldier who had previously given the order, which was used as a code to attack, proving that the city was still under control, and soon a group of soldiers in the darkness soon came towards the city.
When I came to the city, I heard a sergeant say loudly in a loud voice: "Open the city gate quickly, this army is a subordinate of General Wang Mo, if you dare to hesitate, you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around!" ”
Xu Yan and Jiao Xing looked at each other and sighed slightly, it seems that it is not the Xiao cavalry army who is coming, as for whose subordinates, how can the Xiao cavalry army care, Xu Yanman responded in a disdainful voice: "It doesn't matter whose subordinate you are, now that the two armies are fighting, this officer suspects that you are waiting for the Xiao cavalry to do a good job, leave quickly, if you dare to shout again, don't blame me for the ruthlessness of the arrows!" ”
"You are just a little long, and you dare to be presumptuous with this official!" The army under the city waited for the great god to scold.
Xu Yan's heart moved, from the other party knew that it was Qu Chang who was defending the city, not the officer surnamed Zhan who had replaced him before, it seemed that his identity was really a military candidate, and the military candidate already belonged to a senior officer, so there was no reason to let him enter the city, not to mention that Xu Yan was most tired of this kind of self-righteous person, not to mention the enemy.
"Someone, random arrows!"
The soldiers under the city were frightened, only to hear the arrows whistling, but the arrows were shooting like rain, and no one was hit by the arrows, it turned out that Xu Yan in order to avoid the screams of the Jizhou army in Jingdong City, although he ordered the sergeants to scatter, but the direction of the arrows was around the Jizhou army under the city.
"Retreat!" Unexpectedly, the soldiers at the head of the city really dared to shoot arrows at him, and for a moment they were terrified, and hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat.
Soon several Jizhou soldiers who plundered in the surrounding villages returned one after another, and were blocked by Xu Yan one after another, and the threatening arrows had already been shot out, and soon nearly 2,000 people gathered under the city, and there were really a lot of them at a glance, and they continued to shout and curse at the head of the city, if it were not for the siege equipment, I am afraid that these Jizhou soldiers under the anger would have already forcibly attacked the city.
The Jizhou soldiers who were driven away quickly returned, but this time they were more embarrassed and frightened, as the earth shook in the distance, dozens of Xiao cavalry soldiers above the city were overjoyed, it was obvious that the Xiao cavalry cavalry had arrived, on the other hand, the Jizhou soldiers under the city heard the change of color.
These originally arrogant generals were full of panic and begging for mercy, hoping that the generals defending the city would let them in, and constantly promised all kinds of benefits, and the previous arrogance was like two people, and the soldiers of Jizhou were panicked, and many people fled to both sides in fear.
At this time, the dense dark clouds had dispersed, and the earth trembled more and more clearly, Xu Rong could vaguely see many strong cavalry riding horses from a distance, and the most eye-catching was the first flag bearer, carrying the Taishi banner that hunted in the wind on his shoulders.
