Chapter 234: Smoke and Sand in the Half City (91)
"These horses ......"
"It's all from Lingxiao Firm. And on the way, I encountered a hundred soldiers and horses sneaked over from the Qin army to set up an ambush in Yuling, and on both sides were the oil and flammable things they had prepared in advance, and they wanted to burn the grain and grass we transported, but Commander Ling also led people to clean it up, and did not let Qiu make a move.
Because she said that it is even worse for Qiu to lead troops to fight, but if she fights alone, she must be better, and she must let those who are good at it do what she is good at. ”
Lei Liang was silent.
Before he could say anything, the next attack of the Qin army came again.
Although he didn't say anything more, his heart was really touched.
In his impression for decades, women should hide behind men, soft and weak husbands and children, these things of fighting and killing, where is their turn to mix, even if Yao Chengyi's two daughters were also excellent before, he did not change this idea.
But now, Xi Fan's wisdom and ability made him have to start noticing her, perhaps, women don't need to be protected, they can also protect others.
Once again difficult to resist the attack of the Qin army, Lei Liang went down the city wall to the place where the grain and grass were temporarily stored, and saw Xi Fan from a distance commanding the Zhenxi army to put the granaries in different categories and register them.
Sensing that someone was watching her, Xi Fan turned around and saw Lei Liang standing not far away staring at her with a straight face.
Seeing Xi Fan coming over, Lei Liang coughed twice, then dropped a sentence and turned to leave, quite like fleeing in the wilderness: "Starting tomorrow, go to the city to fight!" ”
Liuhuo lay on the side and snorted: "This old stubborn man has finally begun to recognize reality." ”
Xi Fan turned around and continued to work, and replied softly: "He may not be a perfect person, but he is an excellent general. ”
Since then, Xi Fan has officially joined the defensive battle.
The cruelty of war was completely spread out in front of her.
For twenty days the defenders of the city died, and even more so the besiegers.
Beneath the walls, there are so many people dying every day that the corpses can be used to fall from the walls without being thrown to their deaths.
It can be seen that for the Qin army, the loss of the war is extremely huge.
In the past 20 days, Xi Fan has been very tormented in her heart, the people around her have been dying in battle, and at noon I squatted under the city wall with you and drank porridge, thinking that after the war, I could go back to marry my daughter-in-law or serve my parents' comrades-in-arms, and in the afternoon, I was covered in blood and could no longer realize their dreams.
On the fifth day of Xi Fan's battle on the city wall, the imperial court's decree returned, and troops and quartermasters from other surrounding areas were transferred to Cangzhou to defend against the Qin attack. The first reinforcements arrived in Cangzhou 15 days later and joined the battle.
On the 25th, the offensive of the Qin army slowed down, and the giant wood was brought from the country to build something in front of the barracks, and the troops shrank around the giant wood and were closely guarded, which seemed to be some conspiracy.
Lei Liang sent more than one team of soldiers and horses to investigate or disrupt their deployment, only to find that when attacking the city, the Qin army did not seem to be very strong, but in a head-on confrontation, the Qin army was much stronger than the Cangzhou army!
They have more ruthlessness and undying momentum than the Cangzhou army.
Several teams of men and horses went and almost lost everything, and no useful information was obtained.
On the thirty-fifth day, the thing built by the Qin army with giant wood was finally completed, and it was a huge trebuchet!
