Chapter 261: Hold on to Guiyang City (1)

Jinyiwei is an army tempered on the battlefield, and when he heard the horn sounding, he couldn't help but clench the things in his hand and wanted to rush to the city wall. But when they looked down and saw that they were holding axes, hammers, and clay knives in their hands, they couldn't help but smile bitterly, and lowered their heads and became construction workers again-Jinyiwei commanded Lord Tongzhi to have an order first, no matter what happened in Guiyang City, they were not allowed to go up to help, even if the wall fell and people died, they could only stay under the city wall.

Zhu Youcheng didn't take the battle on the city wall to heart, but secretly calculated the construction speed of the inner city wall: "Jinyiwei and the soldiers and civilians of Guiyang worked overtime, and finally half of the inner city wall was built, and the remaining half could be completed in two or three days, but I don't know if the defenders of Guiyang City can hold out until that time." ”

The houses outside the inner city walls were full of firewood, but no fire oil was poured on them. Because there are more than 30,000 soldiers outside the inner city wall, if any of them does not pay attention to fire safety, and the torch falls to the ground, it will be over. Zhu Youcheng had no choice but to put the oil in a jar and stack it neatly on the wall.

Zhu Youcheng is now under a lot of pressure. At the beginning, the people of Guiyang City were grateful when they saw Jinyi Wei galloping to help Guiyang. But soon their gratitude disappeared, because as soon as Zhu Youcheng came to Guiyang City, he forced the people on the side of the city wall to relocate, and what was worse was that he did not accept bribes, which made some gentry who were accustomed to using money to settle a problem very unhappy. In their opinion, thousands of miles of officials are only for money, and your demolition of the house is nothing more than money, and now the money is sent to you, but you don't want it, what do you want.

Especially after discovering that the ten-mile company camp outside the rebel city had been burned down, the people who were accustomed to Gou An felt that it was time for swords and guns to be put into storage and horses to be put in Nanshan. Many people who live outside the city are worried about the loss of their families, clamoring to go home to see, and they are about to break through the blockade of Jinyiwei several times. It wasn't until Jin Yiwei pulled out the embroidered spring knife that he was honest.

Zhu Youcheng's super prestige brought by the previous rush to reinforce Guiyang quickly declined, and it almost stinked all over the streets of Guiyang, until the rebels besieged the city again. However, the doubts about Zhu Youcheng's construction of the inner city wall have not stopped, and the Jinyi Guard's failure to go to the city has aroused criticism, and some people even painted the words "coward" and "afraid of the enemy like a tiger" on the wall opposite Zhu Youcheng's residence. Zhu Youcheng treated it indifferently. Anyway, a few days later will prove that the person who secretly scribbles on the wall is very stupid. However, King Xin was small and ordered the prefect of Guiyang Mansion to strictly check the people who brushed the characters.

The man quickly caught it, and it was a twenty-something talent Condi. The perpetrators were caught, but they could not be punished. They didn't name him, so at most they could only accuse him of scribbling - by the way, there was no chengguan at that time, and it was not illegal to write inscriptions everywhere. Seeing that King Xin was so angry, Zhu Youcheng naturally couldn't stand by and start with Xiucai's learning. said that his handwriting was too bad, and found a Guizhou school officer. The school officer was in charge of the education of a province, and it was not like playing with a little Xiucai, so he immediately ordered Kong Di to practice calligraphy and write "coward" and "afraid of the enemy like a tiger" 10,000 times.

On the other hand, the pressure on Cai Fuyi and Fu Zonglong on the city wall was also very high, and the number of rebels outside the city was really amazing, and there seemed to be signs of desperateness. As the saying goes, mourning soldiers will win. In the face of the rebels, who have become crazy because they have no food or clothing, the two of them are also a little frightened. Cai Fuyi even came up with an idea: if he hadn't burned down the rebels' camp. Wouldn't it be a little better?

At the beginning of May 6, the sixth year of the Great Tomorrow Apocalypse, the rebels outside the city shouted and launched a charge towards Guiyang City. As Zhu Youcheng predicted, the rebels were mobilized by the whole army and launched an attack on Guiyang City from four directions, southeast, northwest and northwest.

The rebels attacked the city some time ago and have already filled a moat - after paying a huge price, of course. Now attacking from all sides at the same time, this small section is definitely not enough. So the rebels carried the earth one by one, covered their heads and faces with shields, and advanced towards the moat.

Other rebels attacked the city, usually driving the local people to pick up soil and fill the river, but the rebels killed people happily. He didn't leave the people behind, so he had to go into battle shirtless and fill the river himself. If it is the common people who fill the river, the defenders read the villagers, and when they shoot arrows with bows, they may still feel unbearable; But seeing that it was the ferocious rebels filling the river, where would there be mercy, and the arrows of revenge were shot at the rebels one after another.

Although the rebels protected the vital points, after all, they were naked, and they screamed when they were shot, and when they touched the wounded, they let out a beastly cry. The crossbowmen, who had been looking for an opportunity on the city walls, saw that the rebels' heads and chests were exposed, and with a crossbow they struck, piercing their heads.

The rebels also responded with bows and arrows, but at a long distance and from the back, with little effect.

There was a river of blood on the battlefield, but most of it was the blood of the rebels.

An Bangyan watched the Yiren soldiers fall one by one, and his heart was like a knife. Although these are all miscellaneous armies, they will not lose their own vitality if they are consumed, but if he sacrifices like this, how can he rebel in the future - the total number of Yi people is so much, and if one dies, one will be less.

The more An Bangyan looked at it, the more distressed he became, and said, "Mingjin withdraws his troops!" ”

Hearing the signal to withdraw his troops, Surtai, who was supervising the battle at the front, immediately realized that An Bangyan's mistake of looking forward and being indecisive had been committed again. It's a pity that he is not the commander, but a military advisor, and he can't change the military order, so he angrily returns to the camp.

"King, seeing that the moat has been filled in half, why did you suddenly withdraw your troops." Sultai asked bluntly.

"This ...... It was late this day, and the soldiers could not see the road clearly at night, so it was better to withdraw their troops and fight again tomorrow. An Bangyan stammered a little as he spoke, because as soon as he gave the order, he immediately knew that he had made another mistake. Every step of the advance to Guiyang was at the cost of the lives of a large number of soldiers, and when the troops were ordered to retreat, these were all reduced to nothing, and if they wanted to advance to today's position tomorrow, I am afraid that they would have to pay the same heavy price.

After listening to An Bangyan's explanation, Surtai took a lot of effort to restrain himself and did not step forward to strangle An Bangyan to death. It's only four o'clock in the afternoon, and there is at least one hour before dark, doesn't withdrawing troops so early give the defenders of Guiyang a chance to rest? The Yiren who died today are considered to have died in vain, and tomorrow they will have to die the same number of Yiren to advance to today's position. Although there are a large number of Yi people, I can't help you from being so bad. Didn't you command indiscriminately like this so that I didn't have a chance to complete the task assigned by the Heavenly Mandate Khan to disrupt Yungui?

There was silence in the tent for a long time, An Bangyan sighed and said, "After all, I am the king of Luodian, and I can't let the Yiren warriors die in vain." A few years ago, that is, in the second year of the Apocalypse, I took advantage of the momentum of a great victory to besiege Guiyang, and besieged it for ten months, but still no soldier could climb the wall of Guiyang City. Although the number of people is twice as large as before, they are all new recruits who have never been on the battlefield, and it will not come of any good results. Tomorrow I will order the withdrawal of troops, and go deep into the mountains and old forests, where our world is. ”

"Your Majesty, don't do it. Although the deep mountains and old forests are good, how can they compare to the flowing gold and silver and beautiful women in Guiyang City? Besides, the king's net worth and life, and the honor and disgrace of the An family are all related to the battle in Guiyang City. If you retreat, without waiting for the barbarian Ming Court to ease up, those Yiren elders will start to clean up the king in order to win the favor of the Ming Court. ”

"Then what can you do to make the Yiren warriors rush to Guiyang City unscathed?" An Bangyan laughed at himself and said, "Although you are extremely smart, you are not an immortal, how can you do such a thing?" No one can do this unless our great hero, Zhighal, is reborn. ”

"If, I mean, if, I can make the king's soldiers rush to Guiyang City unscathed, won't the king retreat?"

An Bangyan stared at Sultai for a moment, and said, "If the soldiers of the Lone King can capture Guiyang City, how can I learn to be a wild man in the mountains and forests like a baby?" ”

"I thought of a way to send the king's soldiers safely to the city of Guiyang. I once saw a kind of cart in the armory of Shengjing, which could defend against feathered arrows fired from front and above. The name of this kind of car is the car, and although it has a simple structure, it has a strong defensive power. If the king orders the craftsmen to make it with all their might, I promise that more than a hundred chariots will appear in the king's army tomorrow. But the king had to give up those horses, because he had to cover the horses on the chariot, so as to prevent the damage of the feather arrows. ”

"It's okay, to capture Guiyang City, if you want gold and gold, and silver and silver, do I still care about those horses? Mr. Su, as long as you capture Guiyang City, you will be the first hero of the Yi people, and the Lone King will never treat you badly. ”

"After the king captured Guiyang City, I didn't want gold or silver, just twelve Han beauties. I want to be the twelve daughters at night, and then drink the wine made by the hearts and mouths of the twelve beauties. (To be continued......)
