Chapter 283 The undercurrent of cannon roaring in Xicheng
It is said that this Xiong Fei sent people to spread the word that Tan Feitian would attack the city together in a quarter of an hour, but the army of the Western Road seemed unwilling to fight with his followers, which made him angry now!
Seeing this, Rong Zhongqingyun hurriedly turned over and fell off the horse, waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat, and came behind Xiong Fei: "General! The soldiers and horses of the West Road have not had a deep friendship with us, and this time they are willing to send troops to help, not that Akda covets the beauty of the county lord of Chang'an, and now this is said to be coming to help us, not hiding behind to pick up the cheap! ”
"Yes! These guys are foxes hiding behind the tiger, if they capture this Bashan County, they will naturally have to loot, if they fail, they will just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, it's a big deal to pat their butts and leave, this Akda is really scheming! Xiong Fei sat down on a big stone beside the road, looked at the tower of the west city of Bashan County, shook his head and sighed.
"The general doesn't need to be too anxious, now that we have reached the gate of this West City, at least half of the success, should we start attacking immediately? Or do you want to send someone to show the prince, let's wait for the notice before making a decision? Seeing the flags fluttering on the upper floor of this city, Rong Zhongqingyun said with some worry.
"The military order is like a mountain! Let's prepare for the siege first! Is this Western Route army willing or not? Let them be! Anyway, don't expect them to be extravagant, at most they will just pretend and perfunctory us! Pass the order, repair is over, let's start the siege! The bear flew with a wave of his right hand and said to the herald beside him.
"Bang bang bang" A burst of cannon roar sounded, and thick smoke billowed everywhere on the western city wall, and after a burst of artillery fire, the earth and rocks suddenly splashed up, and a burst of gunpowder smoke filled the air.
Suddenly a burst of artillery bombardment came, although the Red Turban Army had already reminded the people inside the city gate, in the face of some merciless artillery fire, they still frightened the people and scattered in all directions.
Among these fleeing crowds, everyone is holding their heads and running around, but there is a man wearing a straw hat, holding a steel knife and looking back at the city tower from time to time, obviously a little reluctant.
The man watched the houses on the street next to him burn, some of the houses were directly flattened by artillery fire, turned into a ruin, and the people who escaped sat down on the ground and cried loudly.
The man dodged the Red Turban soldiers running on the side of the street, came to a small alley, kept looking back to make sure that no one was behind, and then gently knocked on a vermilion back door next to him.
The door opened and poked out a head, saw the man in the straw hat clearly, pulled him into the door, and covered the door back.
The man in the straw hat followed the man who opened the door into the courtyard and walked down the corridor, where the trees were lined with trees and birds chirping and jumping around.
The hard-working family in front of him has been waving his hand to lead the way, and the man wearing a straw hat in the back doesn't seem to be the first time to come, and he is familiar with the road and follows this behind, and what is even more strange is that the two have never said a word when they meet, as if a look has expressed all the words.
At the end of the corridor is a bamboo forest, and on a tree-lined path in the middle, the sand is covered with pebbles.
At the end of the bamboo forest is an empty dam, a stone platform made of several stones for washing clothes, and next to it is a well, on which a long bamboo pole is placed, and next to it is of course a wooden barrel.
At the end of the empty dam was a wooden building full of windows, divided into three tiers, with two vermilion wooden doors in the middle, now slowly opening back.
The man in the straw hat walked to the door in the middle, turned around and waved to stop the crowd, and then crossed the threshold and bowed his head towards the house.
The straw hat man paced back and forth, like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth, looking a little anxious.
The family walked out of the door for a while, waved the straw hat man in, turned around and looked around, and then crossed the threshold and closed the door again.
The straw-hat man came to the hall, bowed down to the Buddha statue worshiped on it, bowed three times, turned around the small door next to it, and went straight to the middle courtyard.
Inside the small door of the wooden building was a square patio, and the man in the straw hat followed the family for a while, and walked towards the stairs on the opposite side.
The two of them stepped up the stairs and came to a door, where the family knocked on the door and pushed the wooden door open.
The straw hat man stepped over the threshold and came in, and saw a man in brocade standing with his back to him, but he didn't wave his head back, and the family withdrew from the door and closed the door back.
The brocade-clothed man kept standing with his back to him, waved his hand and said, "Brother, please sit down and drink tea!" At present, the official army has been deployed, and it is believed that the city is being bombarded, I don't know what the situation is now? ”
The straw hat man sat down, took off his hat and laid it down on the table, picked up the smoking tea bowl, and kept blowing the hot smoke on it.
"Returning to the master! This Dian army has begun to attack the city, but the soldiers and horses of the general of the west of this town seem to have not moved, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to attack the west city before the moon sets, it is just a few more white bones! The straw-hat man put down the tea bowl, shook his head and sighed.
"Then please go again, send this to the leader of the Dian army, they don't have the ability to come in, we can find a way to help them, but how much is this benefit? Ask their prince to give a letter, do you understand? The man in brocade and fine clothes waved his right hand, and the man in the straw hat withdrew from the house, closed the door and back, and hurried to the gate of the city with the letter.
In the camp of the Dian army outside the west city, Xiong Fei's face was full of blood at the moment, he organized a wave of attacks just now and was repulsed, and there were many more corpses under the city tower, looking at the city filled with gunsmoke, and then seeing that the team of the flying general on the right did not move at all, he couldn't help but curse.
"General! Catch a spy in the woods, and he will see the supreme commander of the siege by name, saying that he has a good plan, but you must go there yourself, otherwise he will not say a word. This Rong Zhongqingyun walked over quickly, fell off the horse's back, bowed his head and bent over his fists.
"Really? Now that this city can't be attacked for a long time, he won't lie to me, right? Hurry up and lead the way, I want to see what he has in mind. The Xiong Fei wiped the blood from his face, waved his hand and motioned for Rong Zhongqingyun to lead the way, and the group waited for the dense woods next to them......
