Three hours later, Zhao Yang, who had been delayed by the Chidu fire, hurried over, gathered the Northwest Army and the revolved Southwest Field Army, and came with 500,000 people on both sides!
In the conference hall, Cao Mengtong's position had changed hands, and Chu Qiao was dressed in a black uniform, sitting tall on it, looking down with burning eyes. γFengyun Reading Network. The familiar faces before, most of them have disappeared, more than a dozen tribal leaders saw that the big thing was not good, and fled in a hurry with the family soldiers and horses, the high-level generals of the second army, almost none of them can be seen at the moment, the leader of the third army's support force Yu Zeqi surrendered to Daxia with 50,000 soldiers and horses under his subordinates, and the Beishuo city guard Xia An saw that the defeat of Beishuo was imminent, and two days ago, under the banner of punishing deserters, led the original Beishuo city defense army, and fled to the inland of Yanbei.
Now the people sitting below are almost all middle and low-level generals in the original army, and in the position of the seventh brigade of the eighth division of the second army, there is a fat cook. The captain of their team led his subordinates to 5,000 soldiers and horses to escape on the battlefield, because he refused to leave, and tried to persuade other comrades to stay behind to defend Beishuo, he was beaten up and almost died. When Chu Qiao informed the representatives of the military departments to come to the meeting, because he really couldn't nominate anyone else, the cook's apron didn't take off, so he hurriedly came.
At the time of national crisis, when life and death are at stake, the most loyal people are not those leaders and officials who enjoy the benefits of high-ranking officials, they are busy running away, busy surrendering, busy betraying their compatriots, busy looking for a way out, at this time, it is the most inconspicuous little people who dare to stand up and shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the country with their thin shoulders and simple minds. The bizarre and ridiculous nature of the world is simply hilarious.
"General, what are we going to do?"
Yin Liangyu used to be a clerk in the quartermaster department, mainly responsible for recording the entry and exit of grain and grass in the past, when his boss fled, he handed over all the work to him, and said very boldly that he wanted to promote him to the official and give him his position, but before he could open his mouth to object, the man fled without a trace. Such an encounter made Yin Liangyu rise to more than 20 levels in two days, and became the deputy commander of the Second Army all the way, and now the number two person in Beishuo City.
Chu Qiao turned his head and said in a calm tone, "You can tell you what you think. β
Everyone was silent, looking at each other carefully, they used to be some small people, they were all at the forefront of the charge, where did they have any ideas of their own. After a while, a very honest-looking militia representative suddenly stood up, dressed in a coarse cloth garment, stained with blood, and it was not known whether it was his own or someone else's.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he was a little shy and shy, hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up his courage and asked in a low voice: "I am the militia of Xitao Village, our village chief was injured, so he let me come, and he asked me to ask the general if he would retreat?" Will you leave us alone? β
"yes!" Someone chimed in, "Will your lord be like General Cheyenne, take people to chase deserters, and then not come back?" β
Chu Qiao said calmly: "Don't worry, even if I retreat, I will be the last to step out of the Beishuo City Gate." β
"That's good!" Everyone suddenly exhaled with relief.
A big man with a beard on his face suddenly said: "I don't understand so many big truths, and the general says how to fight, I will fight how I want." β
"Yes!"
"Well, let's listen to the general!"
Chu Qiao pondered for a while, slowly stood up, and said in a deep voice: "In that case, please go back and count the men and horses immediately, after dawn, we will fight to the death with the Xia army!" β
Everyone responded loudly, they seemed to be more willing to accept orders than to give opinions, and after a while, the conference hall was quiet, but Yin Liangyu was still sitting in place, as if he had something to ask.
"General Yin, if you have something to say, just say it."
Yin Liangyu thought for a long time, and finally said: "General, I don't know much about military affairs, but three days ago, when General Yu Zeqi of the Third Army defected, he burned most of the grain and grass storehouse, and the current garrison with combat effectiveness in the city adds up to less than 40,000 people, even if you add the 30,000 people brought back by the general, it is only 70,000, and most of them are militiamen. Great Xia has a strong army, we are tough to fight, can we fight with them? β
Chu Qiao's brows furrowed slightly, and just as he wanted to speak, Yin Liangyu hurriedly explained: "The last general doesn't want to escape, it's just ...... Just a little worried. β
Chu Qiao smiled slightly and said, "I know that General Yin doesn't want to escape, but you don't have to be so pessimistic, I'm willing to stay, I'm sure." β
Yin Liangyu suddenly stood up and said excitedly: "Do you have a way to win?" β
"I don't have a way to win, but there's a message that maybe you'll be willing to hear."
"What's the news?"
"The First Army led by His Royal Highness, as well as the fallen Japanese army led by Miss Yu, are stepping up reinforcements for us, as long as we can survive ten days, reinforcements will arrive."
Yin Liangyu was suddenly overjoyed, and said with his eyebrows fluttering: "Really? Is it true, my lord? β
"Really," Chu Qiao smiled slightly, "Go tell everyone the good news!" β
Yin Liangyu almost ran out of the door, watching his back gradually disappear at the end of the corridor in the conference room, the smile on Chu Qiao's face gradually disappeared, and his expression froze.
Yan Xun took the first army and the troops in the area of Sunset Mountain Blue City, and attacked the inland of Great Xia, no one knows about it yet, first, she is afraid that there are traitors in the army, once this matter reaches Zhao Yang's ears, although it can relieve the siege of Beishuo, but it will inevitably let Yan Xun's back road be outflanked and put Yan Xun in danger, which is what she is most worried about at present.
Second, once this matter is leaked out, everyone will immediately know that Yanbei was betrayed by Yan Xun, and the army will be moved, and this battle will not have to be fought again. Before she guarded Chidu, it was to protect the inland of Yanbei, and if the Beishuo army was defeated, there would also be a way out. However, at present, the inland forces are empty, and the area around Sunset Mountain is undefended, and there is no point in escaping, it will only lead the enemy inside, and make them aware of the situation of the emptiness of the internal forces. That is to say, at present, the armed forces of the entire Yanbei are all gathered in Beishuo City, if Beishuo is lost, Yanbei will die, so she will give up Chidu and fight in Beishuo.
And Yan Xun, will he come back? Will you give up the imminent ambition and hegemony, and give up the peerless opportunity to take revenge?
There was a lot of snow outside the door, Chu Qiao leaned back on a chair, the candlelight shone on her smooth forehead, and a belief suddenly rose from her heart, like fire, burning her internal organs.
"Yes, he'll be back." Facing the early morning sun, on the horizon in the distance, you can see the ranks of the Xia army gradually approaching, column after column, endless, raising flags like a forest.
After days of chaotic fighting, the corpses on the battlefield are like mountains, full of short knives and spears, although it has snowed all night, but at this time, there is still a red blood in front of Beishuo City. Those bewitching flowers are not afraid of the cold and ice, blooming more and more gorgeously, and the rising morning sun is also covered with a layer of dark red by this blood light, with a strange light sprinkled on the vast battlefield.
The war came so quickly, and the successive defeats made Zhao Yang lose patience, he was unwilling to arrange troops again, plan and plan, and he was not willing to test cautiously, and the 500,000 army roared and pressed up in an instant, the armor was like a mountain, and the roar was like thunder.
Then, the 500,000-strong army began to line up on the plain, issuing a neat charge, and the soldiers on the Beishuo city wall were shocked in unison for a while, as if they felt that the city wall under their feet was trembling in the roar of the other party, as if they were about to fall.
The officers and soldiers of Beishuo were pale-skinned, compared to Zhao Qi's Southwest Army, which won more, Zhao Yang's Northwest Army was indeed a team of fierce tigers and wolves, they didn't even dare to imagine how Chu Qiao, led less than 10,000 envoys from the Southwest Town, could fight against such an army for so long, but they couldn't allow them to think, thousands of horses galloped, and the army was overwhelming, like a monstrous flood.
"Kill!" Great Xia's army was like an erupting volcano in an instant.
"Get ready!" He Xiao Wei'an's body stood on the city tower, too many wars allowed this young officer to quickly get experience and growth, he held a war knife, and said in a deep voice, "Ready!" β
"First team ready to attack!"
"Second team ready to attack!"
"The third team is ready to attack!"
"Team 4 is ready to attack!"
β¦β¦
"Team 17 is ready to attack!"
Loud slogans sounded one after another, and there were less than 3,000 soldiers left in the southwest town envoys, and the remaining 7,000 people were selected from the militia in Chidu to enrich the army, plus after Cao Mengtong's death, the super strong guard regiment of the Second Army became Chu Qiao's personal guards, adding up to a total of 30,000 people, forming the main force of this campaign. At this moment, in front of them, a large crossbow machine with a height of more than half a person stood there quietly, this was the drawing drawn by Chu Qiao before and handed it over to the munitions factory for manufacturing, but after she left, no one would assemble and use it, so now, all the three thousand crossbow machines have been preserved intact.
The bow and arrow are pressed into the cassette of the crossbow in a row, this kind of bow and arrow is a super weapon improved by modern science and technology, after the push of the wheel and axle, it can fire twenty-eight arrows at the same time, every three rounds for a shooting mission, and has a four-dimensional calibration direction, that is to say, between breaths, this crossbow arrow can fire eighty-four sharp arrows in a row, aimed at four different directions, the power is unimaginable, if it is not for the strength of the bullet, it can almost be comparable to the submachine gun.
The piercing sound of bowstrings kept coming, the battle was imminent, the enemy was getting closer and closer, the cavalry quickly crossed the ranks of the infantry, rushed to the front, and the officer led by Xia Bing shouted loudly: "Kill the northern barbarians!" The soldiers suddenly poured up like a tide, and the sound of "killing the enemy" came with a tsunami.
He Xiao's face remained unchanged, and after a while, he finally said in a sonorous tone: "Attack!" β
In an instant, only a buzzing sound was heard, and the heavens and the earth were all black, as if a huge black cloth was covering the top of the head, and three thousand bows and crossbows were fired out in unison.
No flesh and blood can withstand such a terrifying storm of arrows, there is no escape, there is no way to retreat, the scene under the city of Chidu is staged again, the huge cavalry army fell with a bang, as if smashed by the heavy fist of a giant, no one can hide, after the sharp arrow, within the range of four hundred steps, there is no standing creature.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes widened, and the Xia soldiers who rushed behind seemed to have their jaws knocked off, and no one dared to take a step forward, especially those southwest soldiers who had never seen such a scene. Zhao Yang hated so much that he almost wanted to rush forward with a sword, he rushed over overnight, hurriedly reorganized his troops and horses and began to attack, he was afraid that Chu Qiao would recreate the sharp attack weapon that he had used to be in the Chidu Guard Battle, but he didn't expect that it was still a step too late. How did he know that such a sharp weapon had long been in Beishuo City, of course it wasn't just him, many people might not have thought of it, after all, if there had been such a thing a long time ago, how could Cao Mengtong lose so badly in the previous battle?
"Rush! Death to those who retreat! β
The sharp trumpet of the summer army sounded in the camp again, and the heavy armor and shield bearers took the lead, and the attack began again.
Just look at the refreshing one
