Section 421 Carelessness and underestimation of the enemy (I)
However, Guo Yuan's meaning is more focused on the last two sentences. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info I understood and said respectfully, "Yes, I understand." ”
Guo Yuan smiled.
I re-practiced the Yang family's marksmanship, imagining that there was an invisible opponent on the other side as I practiced. After practicing more than a dozen styles, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my marksmanship had entered a situation that I had never experienced before.
The expression on Guo Yuan's face remained unchanged, but the surprise in his eyes was even worse, as if the young man in front of him had a high level of comprehension of martial arts that he had never seen before.
However, the expression on his face quickly calmed down, and he said slowly: "Li Sibao." ”
"In!" I hurriedly put away my gun and answered.
Guo Yuan said: "I instructed you in marksmanship, should you also instruct me?" ”
I thought he was joking, but after making sure that I had heard correctly, I quickly shook my hand and said, "Don't dare!" ”
Guo Yuan smiled and said: "Martial arts, the master is the first, what dare not?" I've seen you kill powerful enemies several times with a metal disc that spins in the air. What kind of weapon is that, can you show me something? ”
"That's the Glowing Treasure Wheel." I said.
Guo Yuan frowned, as if he hadn't heard of it.
I don't want to reveal the matter of the Water Moon Cave, but I just say that it is a magic weapon.
Guo Yuan was surprised: "It turns out that you are a disciple of the Daomen? ”
I said, "No, the master didn't allow me to become a monk when he saw that I was not finished. ”
For some reason, when I said this, I saw the figure of the old man I met when I was eighteen.
Guo Yuan said: "No matter what it is, let me see it." ”
I smiled bitterly and said, "As soon as the Glowing Treasure Wheel comes out, sometimes even I can't control myself. I also hope that the old general ......"
Guo Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Are you doubting my ability?" ”
I hurriedly said, "No, no......"
Guo Yuan interrupted: "Since that's the case, then you're welcome, come on." After speaking, whether I agreed or not, the saber in my hand whistled and slashed.
I had no doubt that the broadsword in his hand would split me in half, so I had to raise the Glowing Treasure Wheel with my mind, and it flew out with a whistling circle.
Buzz Buzz......
The Glowing Treasure Wheel collided with the horse chopper without any pretense, and actually cut off half of the blade made of good steel.
Guo Yuan deserved to be a world-famous general, and hurriedly rolled out of the ground in shock to see if he could avoid the next fatal blow.
I secretly called it lucky, and hurriedly forced my mind to put away the Glowing Treasure Wheel, and this time it was much smoother.
"General, are you alright?" I hurriedly stepped forward to support General Guo, who was wheezing for breath, only to see him looking at me in shock, "It's amazing!" Amazing! What the hell is this, and that's it...... Alas, Sibao, you have such strong skills, it's too aggrieved to be a mere low-level officer. I will immediately report to the loyal king, and promote you to be the brigade commander, no, the division commander. ”
I immediately stated my agreement with King Chung.
Guo Yuan sighed: "You have such a cultivation at a young age, and it is even more commendable that you have no pride. It's okay, I don't force it anymore. In the future, if you have something difficult to solve, just come to me. ”
I nodded in response.
Two days later, in the morning, a long and loud horn came from the Desheng Gate in the north. The hearts of the soldiers in the city sank, and everyone knew that it was the Qing army that had made a comeback.
As early as two days ago, the Zhongwang Mansion had sent a number of scouts to the nearby city in batches to ask for help, and at the same time sent a carrier pigeon to Tianjing. Although he also knew that once the Qing army appeared, the troops in the cities around the country would also be tight, but his lips and teeth were cold, and the kings would not die without help.
But the scout came back and reported that the roads around him had long been cut off by the Qing army, and even the water and land in the south were no longer passable, and King Zhong had no choice but to frown all day.
On this day, I finally climbed the castle tower with King Chung and the others.
I followed the 12,000 soldiers and horses of the whole city to the head of the city, only to see a large area outside the city standing in the dark, spreading from about a mile outside the city gate to beside the bamboo forest two miles away, at least more than 100,000 people.
Since the city of Hangzhou was bordered by the Qiantang River to the south and east, and a large area of hills and swamps to the west, the Qing army, no matter how large its numbers, could only concentrate its general forces on the open plain outside the Desheng Gate, and the rest of the forces were divided around the city.
Their formation was very loose, and they were extremely scattered across the vast plains north of the city. They were dressed very simply, with few metal armor, and the weapons in their hands were of mixed quality.
However, the fact that these more than 100,000 people are lined up in black is enough to have a certain deterrent effect.
When the officials standing on the tower watching the battle saw such a lineup outside the city, they couldn't help but change their colors in unison, and some of them even trembled.
King Zhong said in a deep voice: "Old general, the Qing army is so strong, how do you think this battle should be fought?" ”
Guo Yuan stared at the Qing army array in the distance with an ancient face, and retracted his gaze after a moment. He did not immediately answer King Ling Zhong's words, but asked, "Have you sent flying horses to Jiangsu and Fujian provinces to ask for reinforcements?" ”
"It's been sent a long time ago!" King Ling Zhong said: "Yesterday, I sent twenty flying horsemen to ask for help from the two provinces. Do you calculate, how many days will it take for reinforcements to arrive? ”
Guo Yuan groaned: "The main army of Jiangsu is 1,600 miles away from Hangzhou City, and the vanguard cavalry unit of reinforcements will be able to arrive in 15 days. Although the Fujian army was farther away, it could arrive within 20 days. ”
King Zhong said, "Can we survive until then?" ”
Guo Yuan nodded, and said calmly: "Please be relieved by King Zhong." According to the general, although the Qing army is numerous, but the equipment is poor, there is no large siege equipment, the granary in Hangzhou is full, we only need to hold the city, if necessary, mobilize the people in the city to form a civilian army to take turns to go to the city to resist the enemy, to hold out until the reinforcements arrive is more than enough. ”
King Zhong said: "I have been counting in the treasury for the past two days, and the inventory of the granaries in various granaries is enough for the people of the city to eat for half a year. ”
Hearing them say this, King Chung's face softened slightly.
At this time, a horn sounded outside the city.
The front line of the Qing army divided 1,000 people to drive to a place 500 steps away from the city, and the first general was Nalan Wentian, who fled in the middle of the ambush a few days ago.
I saw Nalan Wentian looking proudly above the city tower, and there was no decadent atmosphere of the defeated army at all. He held a purple thunder dragon knife and threatened to challenge the general of the Taiping army under the city, and his words were extremely filthy.
Seeing this, Zheng Fei, the general of Zhennan, spat at the city and scolded: "The general of the defeated army also dares to learn from others to fight bravely!" This kid is really impatient, let Lao Tzu behead him! After speaking, he snatched the big sword from the hands of the generals behind him, and said to King Chung: "King Chung, please order the city gate to be opened, I will go to meet him!" ”
Before King Zhong could speak, he only heard Guo Yuan frown and said: "General Zheng, the Qing army knows that it is not easy to attack the city, and this is obviously provoking our soldiers to go out of the city to fight with them, you must not be fooled!" (To be continued.) )
