Chapter 317: Soldiers Descend on the City
The river breeze is cold, whistling and blowing through the banks of the Neishui River, the grass and trees on the fields on both sides of the river are withered, the pale sun shines on the body, but there is not much warmth, and the crystal clear water dew is sometimes visible in the riverbed, shining in the sun and shining with a strange light.
Between the vast heaven and earth, there is a solemn atmosphere, on the official road on the bank of the river, the yellow smoke and dust are like a long dragon, rolling past, and the whistling river wind can not hide the sonorous iron armor and the long roar of the sword.
On the city of Sword Pavilion, it is full of "Han" character flags and "Liu" character flags, swaying and fluttering in the river breeze, the sun is past noon, it is the time when people are most tired, the guards on the Sword Pavilion are sleepy-eyed, squatting against the female wall with spears in their arms, snoring like thunder, exhaling like a cow.
A soldier on the Sword Pavilion City half-opened his sleepy eyes, and suddenly saw a black curtain emerging on the ground covered by water and grass, and then he was horrified to see the battle flag that covered the sky in the distance fluttering in the wind, and the army of Nagadi held the blade and advanced, the war drums rumbled, the horn sounded, and the footsteps came slowly......
A Shu soldier in the City of the Famous Sword Pavilion opened his eyes wide, looking at the dark curtain on the ground in the distance with a frightened face, his face gradually pale, and his eyes were filled with fear. What's more, they couldn't help but shout, and hurriedly called out to the soldiers who were still asleep, and for a while, the Sword Pavilion City was in a hurry, wearing crooked hats and helmets, and the soldiers holding their blades were scurrying around, making the Yamen general feel as if he was facing a great enemy, and he looked up into the distance, and then he was also occupied by horror.
"General Jia!"
I don't know who shouted, everyone looked at Jia Long who was walking up to the city pass, and all the Shu troops on the pass saw Jia Long jumping up the city tower, and hurriedly knelt down to the ground, not daring to slack off in the slightest, otherwise their lives would not be guaranteed.
"Get out of the way!" Jia Long didn't care about the pawns who knelt on the ground. kicked away the pawn and looked at the Xiliang army slowly coming under the pass.
A banner embroidered with "ginger", "yang" and painted eagles, wolves and other mountain and forest beasts, covering the earth, a thousand people phalanx lined up on the ground to spread to the sky, which makes people look very timid.
Jin Ge Iron Horse, War Drums and Horns. The flag fluttered, a member of the fierce general displayed in the front row of the army, a row of troops stepped in, the momentum was magnificent, the mountains and seas were overwhelming, and the military might pierced the sky, forming a majestic and invincible picture.
"Where did this army come out, how could it appear on the west bank of the Sword Pavilion? Where is Thunder Copper? ", looking at the swept Xiliang army. Jia Long's face was a little pale, and he drank and asked a few questions in a row. Looking at this imposing enemy army, Jia Long only felt that the Sword Pavilion seemed to be deeply immersed in a small world. In front of the endless enemy army, the Sword Pavilion was just a small pebble.
The Adam's apple of one of the guards moved, and he replied in a hesitant manner: "General Lei Tong went on a safari early in the morning and has not returned yet, as for why there is an army on the west bank, I really don't know if I am humble!" ”
". What do you want? Jia Long kicked over the soldier who was reporting, and then smashed his fist on the battlement: "This thunder copper." Give me the chain at the critical moment, you, and you, go to the urn city and call all the brothers to guard the Sword Pavilion! ”
The soldiers named by Jia Long did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly rushed down the city tower. Then he ran desperately towards the urn city at the north gate.
After doing all this, Jia Long looked out of the city again, and when he saw the scene in the distance, he was so frightened that he took a step back, because this army was too intimidating. Even if you have experienced dozens of battles, you will feel frightened when you see this army, not to mention those guards who are frightened?
"General, could it be reinforcements sent by the lord? After all, Zhang Lu and Lu Bu are fighting in full swing, and the Sword Pavilion is an important town in Shu, so the lord may send a large army to garrison the Sword Pavilion! When he saw the army sweeping in, he suppressed the fear in his heart and carefully analyzed the purpose of this army.
"No, except for two Chinese characters, the rest of the banners of this army are all wolf flags and eagle flags, which can be seen as foreign troops, how can it be reinforcements? Besides, there are generals surnamed Xichuan Yang, but this general surnamed Jiang has never been seen! ”
The army shook his head and said disapprehantly: "General, don't forget, there is a soldier under the lord's command, if this army is not reinforcements, then where did they come from?" As the general said, there is no general surnamed Jiang, but we have been away from Chengdu for many years, and there will be no newcomers to the main account! ”
When Jia Long heard this, he lowered his head and fell into deep thought, and after a moment, he looked up at the army and asked, "You have a reasonable analysis, then you say, what should we do now?" ”
The soldier shook his head and cautiously suggested: "I can't say it either, according to the following opinion, close the city gate first, let the soldiers prepare the rolling stone hot oil, and then make a decision after asking about the situation!" ”
"Just do as you say!" Jia Long couldn't think of any other way, so he could only do what he said when he joined the army, and began to command the soldiers to carry the boulders and wood, and pile them under the women's wall in one go, preparing to deal with the next situation.
In less than half a pillar of incense, the banner was already waving under the Sword Pavilion City, and the 20,000 tiger and leopard battalions swept all over the mountains, and the black pressure was like an ant colony, which was shocking and chilling.
"The defenders in the city listened well, a certain is Jiang Xu, the captain of the Han Dynasty under the tent of Wen Hou, today I am on the order of my Wen Hou, I have come to take the Sword Pavilion, if you know the current affairs, you will open the door early and surrender, if the road is half a word, break through the Sword Pavilion, you will be killed without leaving a piece of armor!"
The banner of the Xiliang army was opened, Jiang Xu took his gun and rode his horse, galloping back and forth in front of the formation, and the spear pointed at the Shu army on the city tower and scolded.
When Jia Long and the army heard this, they glanced at each other, they both saw the fear in each other's eyes, it seems that both of them guessed wrong, this army is not a reinforcement, but a real Xiliang army, Jia Long has no time to think about where this Xiliang army came from, the most important thing at the moment is how to defend the Sword Pavilion.
Jiang Xu saw that there was no movement on the city tower, thinking that the enemy was preparing to defend to the death, so he waved his spear at the moment.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The 20,000 tiger and leopard battalions pulled out their ring-headed knives at their waists one after another, roaring loudly, the murderous aura that rushed to the sky pierced the clouds, and the deafening shouts made the war horses neigh, making the Sword Pavilion like a grass in the cold wind as if it would collapse in the next moment.
"Pass on the general's order, just say that there are bandits attacking, let those big clans who don't want to die in the hands of the bandits send family members to the city wall to help defend the city, otherwise everyone will be scattered and go quickly!"
Jia Long looked at the Xiliang army that was hunting under the banner under the city, resisting the ladder and preparing to attack the city, and complained bitterly in his heart, this sword pavilion is the place of four wars, and there were originally 40,000 troops stationed, but since Lu Bu invaded Hanzhong, Liu Yan transferred the guards of the sword pavilion to Yuzhong, in case Lu Bu attacked Xichuan from Longxi along the Qishan line, so now the defenders of the sword pavilion are only 5,000 people, how can they resist the wolf-like Xiliang army.
Jiang Xu looked coldly at Jia Long on the city tower, lifted the reins with one hand, turned his head and shouted: "Siege!" (To be continued......)
