Chapter 469: For the sake of food and grass, at all costs
The adjutant general's words are obvious, everything is now at the discretion of An Qilin, if An Qilin chooses to forcibly withdraw his troops, it will definitely be a withdrawal of troops.
But later, Lang Lingping's side needed An Qilin to bear the punishment.
If the attack was continued, the army would have died here, and it would be difficult for their soldiers to climb the city without a strong crossbow to suppress the enemy troops on the city.
An Qilin gritted his teeth, looked at the city, and said, "Keep attacking!"
He didn't want to die in the hands of Lang Lingping inexplicably.
When the generals under his command heard this, they could only smile bitterly and continue to attack with their troops.
"Puff puff!"
The sound of sharp blades entering flesh came.
The army of the Bailan Kingdom under An Qilin's command, one by one, fell to the ground with arrows stuck in their bodies.
Under the entire city of Seiyi, there are corpses everywhere.
In another two quarters of an hour, the remaining army of the Bailan Kingdom was already more than 3,000 people left.
"General, are we really not supporting?" Lang Lingping's side, an adjutant general looked at him and asked.
"No!"
Lang Lingping looked at the head of the city and said, "Their task has not been completed yet, and the enemy army has only exposed half of the defensive position, which is not enough." ”
"But general, if we blatantly let An Qilin die, and still don't support it, it will be known by the Bailan Kingdom in the future, general, you may ......" The adjutant general's words were not finished, but Lang Lingping knew what he meant.
When Lang Lingping heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, he looked at the army that was still charging in the Bailan Kingdom, and said to a deputy general next to him: "Order the army, attack with a strong crossbow, and cover the city!"
"Yes!"
The adjutant immediately summoned the order.
When the strong crossbowmen of the Jinshui Kingdom heard the order, they drew their bows and arrows one by one, formed an arrow array, and shot at the head of Xiyi City.
Woohoo!
A piercing sound sounded in the sky, and a rain of arrows condensed in the sky, pouring down on the head of Xiyi City.
"Crossbow!"
When Xu Chu saw it, his face changed slightly, and he immediately ordered: "Raise the shield, defend!"
When the well-trained Danyang soldiers heard the order, they immediately raised their shields.
Bang bang bang.
One by one, the powerful crossbow arrows hit the shield, and it was difficult to make anything but make a loud noise.
But the Danyang soldiers on the city still had some loopholes after all, and they were shot by strong crossbows and killed more than 100 people.
The number is not much for such a big battle, but Xu Chu is also very heartbroken, because there are no reinforcements on their side.
It's just that there is nothing too good to do now, and the enemy's strong crossbows have been covering the city, and it can only be a passive defense for a short time.
"This bastard Lang Lingping is finally willing to support!"
On An Qilin's side, he was finally relieved to see the Jinshui Kingdom wall road covering the city behind him.
"If he had supported earlier, how could we be close to the annihilation of the whole army!" An adjutant general said with murderous intent on his face: "If there is a chance, Lao Tzu must kill Lang Lingping of the dog day!"
"Count me in. ”
"Count me in. ”
The lieutenants and generals beside An Qilin said one by one.
An Qilin also had killing intent on his face, because of Lang Lingping's selfishness, he killed more than 90,000 of his army, and he couldn't wait to kill Lang Lingping now.
It's just a pity that he can't kill Lang Lingping now.
"Order, shoot An Qilin and his army with arrows!" Lang Lingping looked at An Qilin's remnants at this time and said lightly.
"This ......"
The adjutant general was full of hesitation and said, "General, if we do this, then it will really be moral, and if the Bailan Kingdom knows about it in the future, we will ......."
"I just don't want the people of the Bailan Kingdom to know about today's events!"
Lang Lingping glanced at the deputy general and said, "As long as we kill them all, the Bailan Kingdom will not know about today's affairs, and we will not have any trouble in the future." ”
"Besides, what are you keeping such a waste army for? Is it a waste of grain and grass? We don't have much food and herbs, so it is better to keep these thousands of waste for our elite soldiers. ”
When the adjutant general heard this, he suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart, General, General, you obviously know that General Lang looks down on the army of the Bailan Kingdom, and asked him to bring troops, doesn't this make it clear that he wants to make the two armies have contradictions and kill the army of the Bailan Kingdom?
"Wait, kill the army of the Bailan Kingdom?"
The adjutant general's heart shook suddenly, and he suddenly reacted, this may not be Lang Lingping's own idea at all, but the order of Zhao Mao, the general of the Jinshui Kingdom!
Because now the army has very little food, and it can even be said that it is about to run out.
And An Qilin's side, because it was the previous left-behind army, there was still a lot of military rations, if the 100,000 troops could die inexplicably, then they could get a part of the military rations, which was enough for the army to support for a day or two, or even longer.
Able to give the army more time to deal with the current crisis.
After all, in this situation, even if the army can take Xiyi City, it will be difficult to get enough grain and grass in a short period of time, because the grain and grass on this line of the Bailan Kingdom have already been collected by the enemy army that occupied Xiyi City when it was transported last time.
After this thought appeared in the adjutant general's mind, it could no longer be dispelled.
"The general is so ...... Vicious!"
The adjutant general trembled in his heart, if his thoughts were true, then Zhao Mao was really too vicious, this is an army of 100,000!
Let the army of 100,000 be sent to death in vain!
If you let the soldiers know about it, you will definitely feel cold.
Even, he arranged for Lang Lingping, a general who had always looked down on the armies of other kingdoms, to do this, even if someone knew about it in the future, they would only think that Lang Lingping did it without permission, and no one would think that it was him.
"Shhh ”
The adjutant general gasped in his heart, the general was so ruthless?
"Why? Didn't you hear me? Don't you go quickly!" Lang Lingping said coldly when he saw that the deputy general was still not moving.
The deputy general hurriedly bowed his head and answered, not daring to look at Lang Lingping more, and went down to give the order.
"General, now that Lang Lingping has launched an attack, let's quickly withdraw our troops!" An Qilin's side, his lieutenant said to him.
An Qilin looked at it, nodded, and said, "Withdraw!"
With his order, the army immediately retreated as fast as it could.
Woohoo!
But at that moment, he suddenly heard a sound of breaking the air very close to him.
"What ......?"
"Poof!"
Before An Qilin could react, and before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and when he looked down, a sharp arrow pierced his chest.
And the direction of the shot is......
"Lang Lingping!"
"For ...... Why?"
An Qilin's eyes before he died were confused, he couldn't figure out why this was happening, his Bailan Kingdom and Jinshui Kingdom were allies, why would Lang Lingping let the soldiers shoot him with arrows now.
"General. ”
"General!"
The lieutenant general beside An Qilin hurriedly shouted, but soon there was not much sound, only the sound of the sharp sword piercing the body resounded in this place.
The remaining soldiers of the Bailan Kingdom, without exception, were all shot not far from Xiyi City.
Lang Ling's flat hand!
