Chapter Ninety-Nine: Soldiers Approaching the City

The small restaurant in Jizhou City is still open, and the business of "Sister-in-law Cai's Home Cooking" is not bad. Ye Su told Cai Erniang about Aunt Cai's recent situation, and Cai Erniang was very happy to learn that her sister was doing well. She also asked her "brother-in-law" if she was good to her sister, and Ye Su said it was very good. I can only leave this big misunderstanding to the dean to solve by himself.

"The Demon God Army didn't harass you, right?" Ye Su asked. The Demon God Army went out to grab food some time ago, but it did not infringe on the people of Jizhou City in the slightest.

"Meng Tian is an old fox, there are hundreds of thousands of Beiliang people in Jizhou, and your coalition army will inevitably be a little constrained in attacking the city. Cai Erniang said, "This morning I said that your coalition forces would cut off the water source of Jizhou City, and look, so far it has not been cut off, right? Because the water source is cut off, and at the same time, the water source of hundreds of thousands of people in Jizhou will be cut off." ”

Ye Su frowned, the hundreds of thousands of Beiliang people in Jizhou City have become his advantage. The coalition army not only can't cut off the water source, but also can't even clamp the food, if the demon god army runs out of food, the soldiers will grab the food, and the people of Jizhou City will suffer first.

Ye Su ate casually, and after asking Feng Ke to deliver food to Li Wuxin, he returned to the White Horse Temple. Li Wuxin sat on the roof of the White Horse Temple, holy and solemn, and he was completely two people from the previous Hua monk's school.

"I'm going to die again, and I guess this time I can't spend so many souls after reciting the scriptures for a month. Li Wuxin said after looking around at Jizhou City.

"Look at the last tranquility of Jizhou. Ye Su patted Li Wuxin, "I'm leaving." ”

"Amitabha, the little monk will see you off by chanting the scriptures. "Li Wuxin is in the sun, like a Buddha descending to the world.

Ye Su went out of the city, and no one stopped him. When I returned to the coalition fortress, I saw that Wei Tianrui had actually arrived. They are discussing that tomorrow the north and south will attack Jizhou City at the same time. It turned out that Wei Tianrui captured Gucheng, and tomorrow the Beiliang army would reach the north gate of Jizhou.

Ye Su talked about the situation in Jizhou City, and sure enough, because of the hundreds of thousands of Beiliang people in Jizhou City, they had a lot of recruits.

"Tomorrow, the north and the south will attack at the same time, and we will have the advantage of troops and weapons and equipment, and we will definitely be able to take Jizhou City in one fell swoop. Xie Xiaoxuan affirmed.

"Be aware tomorrow that Montien may also have thunderbolts and woodbirds. Wei Tianrui frowned and said, "Gongsun Lu, the eldest brother of the Gongsun Ban, is in the Mengtian Army, as well as the Dan Dao Master of Western Qin. ”

Everyone nodded, discussed it carefully, and dispersed to prepare. Yan glanced at Ye Su, and Ye Su followed with a smile.

"General, you lack a guard, what do you think of me?" Ye Su said flatteringly.

"Okay, tomorrow the siege of the city, you will be with General Ben. Hiko waved his hand.

"It's all right to sleep. Ye Su was going to follow Yan into her room.

"Get out. Yan raised his foot and kicked it.

Ye Su smiled knowingly and prepared to go back to his barracks. Seeing a few paladins, now also wearing the armor of the Xuanjia Army, talking nonsense around the fire, they walked over.

"Ma Liang, are you bragging again?" Ye Su shouted at a short man. That guy had been following Ye Su before.

"Sect Master, you are not shallowly blessed, and the brothers are looking forward to you getting General Yan to get your hands on it. Ma Liang smiled, "Then our paladins can go sideways in the Xuanjia Army." ”

"You crab, you're still walking sideways. Ye Su rolled his eyes, looked left and right and asked, "What about that Zeng Da? The fat man who is always with you, I always thought that there was an adultery between you." ”

Ma Liang listened, lowered his head, and drank a few sips of water in a row: "Lao Zeng left yesterday, the Demon God Army sneak attacked, he rushed out shirtless, and fought alone with the leader of the Demon God Army, his head was cut off, and he died very happily." ”

Ye Su was silent, the paladin was brought into the coalition by him. He rubbed his hands together and tried to find a drink. Ma Liang reminded him that alcohol was not allowed in the army.

"I'm sorry brothers, but I took you out, but I was the shopkeeper. Ye Su grinned.

"Sect Master, you are not sorry for us. Almost all of us paladins are from Beiliang, fighting for their hometown. Ma Liang smiled, "I didn't think I was very important before, but after a few big battles, I think we paladins are important." In the face of the close combat of the Demon God Army, ordinary Beiliang soldiers were difficult to resist. We became their heroes, just Zeng Da that kid, who used to herd cattle, when after the First World War, the officers and soldiers of Beiliang looked at him with admiration, not to mention how proud he was. ”

"Yes, Sect Master. That day, he drank with the old prince of the backer, he didn't say it explicitly, but we knew that Bei Liang needed people who dared to fight to the death. The other paladin smiled heartily, "So if you die, you die." ”

"Sect Master, you don't need to feel guilty. Of course, it would be best if you could sacrifice a little hue and go to Jizhou City to get some information. We could see yesterday that you were drinking with a stunning beauty on the upper floor of Jizhou City. Ma Liang asked awkwardly, "How is it?"

"Get out. Ye Su scolded with a smile, "When Jizhou City is captured, I invite you to go to the largest green building in Jizhou to drink, the girls there are white and tender." ”

"That's it. The crowd was in an uproar.

Alcohol was forbidden in the army, and everyone drank water and chatted tastelessly, and then dispersed after a while, to recuperate for tomorrow's siege battle. Ye Su looked at their backs, sad for no reason, maybe after the battle tomorrow, there will be fewer people.

The sun rose in the east, the drums of war broke through the sky, and 300,000 soldiers approached the city of Jizhou. Wei Tianrui led an army of 150,000 to line up with the north gate, and Xu Xuanba, the king of the backer, raised his head and saw the clear sky.

"I have fought with Old Man Meng all my life, and I should have a good weather to go to Huangquan. ”

Some generals next to him frowned, feeling that these words were unlucky, Wei Tianrui smiled, this old prince has always had no taboos.

At the south gate, the coalition army of 150,000 lined up, just waiting for the order to attack. Yan is in the Chinese army, look at the city tower, there are two towers on the left and right, and bed crossbows are deployed in different directions of the city tower. It seems that Gongsun Lu has added a big killing weapon to the Demon God Army.

"War is a meat grinder. Hiko sighed softly, then stood up, waved the command flag, and the attack began.

The shouts of killing shook the sky, and the coalition forces pushed a large trebuchet, on which were placed not stones, but giant thunderbolts. Like a fireball, it roared by, smashed on the city wall of Jizhou, and exploded.

Countless wooden birds took off and flew towards the city with thunderbolts. The Demon God Army fired 10,000 arrows in unison, shooting down the wooden bird and preventing it from getting close to the castle tower.

Hiko had expected this, and the coalition forces also fired thousands of arrows to suppress the opponent's bows and arrows. The besieging army shouted a formal charge, and suddenly, the four towers above the city tower also roared with huge thunderbolts. Exploded in the middle of the siege coalition forces, and blood flew in an instant.

Wood birds also took off over the enemy and were about to crash into the siege coalition. The archers commanded by Xie Xiaoxuan immediately fired ten thousand arrows in unison and shot down most of them.

The coalition forces did not expect that the equipment of both sides was comparable. It has tested the commander's ability to command on the spot and the cooperation between various branches of the military. There was no Montene in sight on the tower, and it was a woman who commanded it.

Ye Su was shocked, it was actually a demon concubine.

At the beginning of the tragic siege battle, the coalition forces had Han Buxin, Xie Xiaoxuan and Huo Qujian cooperating with Yan, and it can be said that every opportunity was very accurate. The coalition forces have attacked the gates of Jizhou, but they have suffered heavy casualties.

The coalition forces threw many thunderbolts at the city gates, trying to blow them open. Who knows, the city gate is only loose, and there is no sign of exploding at all.

The Demon God Army focused its attack on the city gate, thunderbolts, bows and arrows, bed crossbows, and a sea of fire in front of the city gate. The coalition forces that attacked the front fell one by one.

"Legend has it that Gongsun Lu is a stronger craftsman than Gongsun Ban, and sure enough. Ye Su stood beside Yan, "If it goes on like this, the casualties will be too great." ”

At this time, Han didn't believe it, Xie Xiaoxuan and Huo Qujian all came over. Yan smiled, looked at them and said, "Ye Su, the sect leader of the Demon Sect, the leader of the Flying Dragon Gang, and one of the five people at the highest decision-making level of the Golden Three Alliance, he said that the casualties are too great if they continue like this, why don't you retreat first?"

"Then you have to listen to him. The three of them nodded again and again, "Then we'll arrange it." ”

Immediately, Ming Jin withdrew his troops. The coalition troops retreated in an orderly manner, and Yan clapped his hands and returned to the camp. Ye Su touched his head, always feeling that they seemed to have expected it.

Back at the camp, Hiko called an emergency meeting of the generals. From this moment on, the troops are divided into different groups to harass the Demon God Army without stopping. Tentative attacks, digging tunnels, or scolding your mother at the gate of the city, etc. The 300,000 army, day and night, divided into different squads, harassed and attacked the four gates of Jizhou City.

Ye Su thought, this is to consume the Demon God Army? The Demon God Army is only 100,000, and it will be exhausted and toss back and forth between the city gates. It was also necessary to prevent the coalition forces from digging a tunnel somewhere. Jizhou City is so big, the devil knows where it will come out of a hole.

On the side of the Demon God Army, before they had time to clean up the battlefield, another coalition army came to attack, and the four city gates were attacked at the same time. Unbeknownst to them, this was the beginning of their nightmare.

The coalition forces did not stop for a moment, this force retreated, and immediately attacked again. It is not a strong attack, a random arrow, and the wooden bird carries a thunderbolt, which is annoying.

At night, there was a tunnel dug into the city, but fortunately, General Meng Lao had already arranged it and found it in time. General Meng Lao dug a tunnel longitudinally in the city, and as long as the coalition army dug through, he would be attacked by the Demon God Army.

Mongtian did not sleep all night, and urgently summoned the general to discuss the matter. No specific measures have been agreed upon for this annoying way of playing. It is only possible to allocate people well and try to give the soldiers time to rest.

"Also, let them deepen the longitudinal tunnels in the city, I'm afraid those lunatics will dig deeper tunnels beyond ours. Meng Tian commanded.

"General, they divide their forces like this, we can see the opportunity and take the initiative to attack their battalion directly. The demon concubine suggested.

"It's a way. Meng Tian groaned, "Hmph, they are consuming me, and they are also consuming themselves. It's up to both sides to seize the moment. ”

"I hope Your Majesty can arrive as soon as possible, if we can completely annihilate these 300,000 coalition troops, Western Qin can go straight to Bei'an City and look down on the world. The demon concubine smiled arrogantly.

"Princess, don't you hate Your Majesty?" Meng Tian suddenly asked, "You are the most beloved daughter of the first emperor. ”

"My father has already gone, and the Western Qin royal family only has His Majesty and me, how can I hate it?" the demon concubine got up, "Old general, don't reveal my identity." ”

Meng Tian sighed and nodded.
