Chapter 324: Hangzhou Attack and Defense
"How's it going?"
From the back office, he hurried all the way to the second hall of the front office, and as soon as he entered the door, Bai Qing asked directly into the deep voice.
Hearing Bai Qing's voice, everyone in the house stood up, at this time, in addition to Hangzhou Tongju Xingwen, Hangzhou Don't Drive Ye Yufeng, Hangzhou Sima Mi Jiayu, Chen Sihai, the commander of the Zhenhai Infantry Army, Li Hongcai, the commander of the Zhenhai Horse Army, and several of their subordinates, Du Yuhou, all looked like they were waiting for battle.
"Sit down, what's the matter!"
Bai Qing went straight to the main seat and sat down, frowned lightly and said, last night, those Manichaean thieves had obviously launched an offensive, but why did it only take a day to come and attack the city again, and during the day, he also ordered people to be on strict guard, and he didn't see anything abnormal.
"The news I got from the city gate, from today until night, the city has always been calm, and there is no trace of half a thief, but the town navy also attaches great importance to this matter, according to the instructions of Bai Zhizhou and the drama judge, has been on guard, the first half of the night is also very quiet, but when it comes to the fourth watch, I don't know that a large number of thieves suddenly appeared from there, and carried out a surprise attack on the four city gates in the city, the scale is as many as tens of thousands of people, but those thieves are the same as yesterday, There are no decent siege equipment, and there are only some ladders in his hands that seem to have been hastily assembled during the day, although the momentum is not small, but it does not pose any threat! Under the gesture of Xi Xingwen's eyes, Ye Yufeng stood up and bowed to Bai Qing and reported.
Knowing that they are invincible. Knowing that the city of Hangzhou is now heavily guarded, in the case of their surprise attack yesterday. None of them succeeded, and now they were going to storm the fortified city. This kind of appearance always makes Bai Qing feel as if something is abnormal.
Would someone who could come up with a plan to sneak into the city make such a stupid decision?
After Bai Qing listened to Ye Yufeng's report, he didn't speak for a long time, just sat there with a frown, but question marks kept appearing in his mind, these questions were like fish bones, pierced in his throat, making him feel a little unspeakably uncomfortable.
But just sit here. Obviously, it's not a wise thing, after all, the place where the war is fought is three or four miles away from here, after thinking about it, Bai Qing looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Let's go to the city tower!" ”
After hearing Bai Qing's words, Xi Xingwen took the lead in nodding, although it is said that he and Bai Qing are always at odds on weekdays, but at this time. He still knows that the big picture matters.
As for the others, now the first and second leaders in the entire Hangzhou have nodded in agreement, where do they dare to raise any objections, so they all follow behind Bai Qing and Xi Xingwen in silence. They each rode in a carriage to the south gate of the city.
Because yesterday, the thieves fled to the south, and the south gate was the closest to the thieves. So at the moment, although the four gates in the city are all being attacked by thieves, but now there is a battle at the south gate. is the most intense, almost the thieves will be more than half of the troops. It's all gathered at the south gate.
A group of people along the stairs, "pedaling" up to the city tower above the city gate, originally responsible for guarding the south city gate, is directing his soldiers to shoot arrows of the town and navy infantry Du Yu Marquis Sun Changxing, heard the footsteps behind him, subconsciously turned around, and then saw Bai Qing and his party coming up from the city, he hurriedly stepped forward, and respectfully hugged his fist at Bai Qing and others: "The last general Sun Changxing, I have seen Bai Zhizhou, I have seen the drama through the judgment, I have seen Commander Li, I have seen Commander Chen!" ”
"Hmm!" After Bai Qing answered, he walked directly towards the direction of the city wall with Xi Xingwen and the others, and seeing their movements, Sun Changxing hurriedly followed the footsteps of those people from behind, for fear that something would happen to these top bosses.
"These thieves have been attacking continuously for a full hour, but they still look like they don't give up, but judging from the current situation, their offensive will not pose any threat to us!" Sun Changxing said to Bai Qing and the others.
Listening to Sun Changxin's introduction, Bai Qing stretched his head out of the city wall, with the help of the dim light emitted by the torches and lanterns hanging on the city wall, Bai Qing saw that there was almost a black crowd below, with a crowded appearance, and the passionate shouting of killing came from the city from time to time, and the appearance of tens of thousands of people chanting together also carried a bit of chilling momentum.
However, just like Sun Changxing said, these thieves at this time are just using manpower to keep rushing up, in front of the solid city of Hangzhou City, they are simply a grasshopper shaking the tree, which does not play a half-role role, but they seem to be completely blind to these, still with supreme momentum, wave after wave towards the city, it seems that there is a feeling of being tired.
Seeing this, Bai Qing's brows couldn't help but wrinkle deeper, it's okay that these thieves are so stubbornly impacting, but is it that even the leaders of those thieves are so unwise? Or is there something in it that I can't see?
At this time, the ladders that attacked the city were also erected on the city wall, although it was the soldiers on the city wall, they never stopped shooting arrows, but there were too many thieves under the city, dense, even under their attack, almost every moment, there were bursts of miserable screams under the city, but those Manichaean thieves still relied on their numerical advantage to forcibly build the ladder, and then, some people began to climb from the bottom to the top with their hands and feet.
However, these methods of attack of theirs, after all, could not help the soldiers in the city, although they worked hard, the ladder was built, but there was no fixed place at all, the defenders of the city, only need to grasp the top and push hard, the ladder will take the soldiers who climbed halfway, towards the city, and the wailing sound is also followed by the sound.
Bai Qing, Xi Xingwen and the others stood there and watched for a while, although the scene looked like you were coming and going, looking very intense, but overall, the officers and soldiers defending the city did not feel any pressure at all, after all, in the absence of siege equipment, it was simply a fantasy to break through the city gate guarded by heavy soldiers.
After looking at it for a while, Bai Qing suddenly felt a little bored, in fact, it was not only him, even the soldiers who had been guarding the city gate felt a little tired mentally at this time.
"Let's go back, nothing should happen!" Bai Qing turned his head, looked at Xi Xingwen beside him and said softly.
After hearing Bai Qing's words, Xi Xingwen did not rush to agree, but lowered his head and thought for a moment, and after a while, he seemed to feel that there was nothing to worry about, so he nodded.
Now it's almost the fifth watch, and the people at the scene, except for the soldiers of the town navy, basically all of them got up from the bed in the middle of the night, with a very obvious look of exhaustion in their eyes, and even those soldiers were nervous all night last night, and during the day, they took turns patrolling the streets, so they didn't have a good rest, but compared to the training intensity on weekdays, they were tired, and they could still persevere.
"Wait......"
Just after taking two steps, a thought suddenly flashed in Bai Qing's heart, as if a thunderclap sounded in his world, leaving him in a cold sweat in an instant.
Seeing Bai Qing's movements, the people who were originally following him stopped moving forward in an instant, and looked at Bai Qing with a surprised expression, not knowing what Bai Qing had in mind, but looking at Bai Qing's pale appearance, it seemed that something was not good.
Bai Qing raised his head, his eyes crossed the faces of everyone, and after a while, he said to everyone word by word: "Now those thieves are attacking our Hangzhou City, so, are all the thieves here?" ”
Hearing Bai Qing's words, everyone suddenly felt a little foggy, I don't know why Bai Qing suddenly said such a thing, but it was the drama Xingwen, after bowing his head and thinking about it for a while, when he raised his head again, his face was also a little ugly, and he seemed to have thought of something.
Seeing that everyone was a little puzzled, Bai Qing swallowed his saliva, and then asked everyone with a solemn face: "What I want to know is that since yesterday, everyone knows that thieves are attacking Hangzhou City, although Hangzhou City has been strictly defended, what about other counties?" Have they been notified? ”
As soon as Bai Qing's words fell, Ye Yufeng and the others' faces turned pale in an instant, everyone was thinking that the target of those thieves was this Hangzhou City, so for the counties below, although they had been notified during the day, no one had focused on them, but if it was really like Bai Qing thought, things might become a little troublesome.
"Commander Li, I want to know how the garrisons in Lin'an and Qiantang counties are, if it is really like what I guessed, then can they hold it!" Bai Qing turned his head, stared at Li Hongcai, the commander of the horse army in the crowd, and asked in a deep voice.
Hearing Bai Qing's words, Li Hongcai felt that at this moment, almost all the people present, their eyes were all focused on their bodies, which made him feel like a man on his back, and after a while, he hesitated, with a wry smile on his face, and said to Bai Qing: "Bai Zhizhou, if it is really like what you just said, then it can only be resigned to fate......
Li Hongcai's words were very tactful, but as soon as his words came out, the faces of the people around him all became extremely pale......
