Chapter 237: Siege
"Nanlian 1st Battalion ......"
Jiang Buqi's brows furrowed tightly, and it took him a long time before he said: "Brother, you are now the captain of the first battalion of Nanlian, you must take a good look at them, especially the ones of Une, Zuo Bo and Wei Dingqi." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info these three people are Shi Datou's old department, although they were later incorporated by me, but the relationship with me has not been very close. If there is really a mole, the three of them are the most suspicious! ”
Wu Song's eyes narrowed and nodded, "Okay, I will definitely keep an eye on it in the next few days, if they really make any small moves, they will definitely not be able to escape my eyes!" ”
"That's the best." After thinking about it, Jiang Buqi continued: "In addition to the three, other people should also pay more attention, although I am very relieved of Wang Dian and them, but I am not afraid of ten thousand, I am afraid of just in case, especially at this extraordinary moment." ”
"Understood!" Wu Song assured: "If there is a problem in the first battalion, I am willing to take full responsibility!" ”
"I'm relieved to have my brother's words."
After discussing it again, Wu Song, Zhu Wu and others retreated, and Jiang did not give up and only left Dai Zong.
"My lord, but what else do you have to order?"
"Brother Dai Zong, it seems that our intelligence system must be established quickly, and if we don't seek to hear all the news, at least in Nanlian City and Nanshan City, our eyes and ears must be filled!" Jiang did not give up and said solemnly.
Dai Zong was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and wondered: "The lord refers to establishing an intelligence network in our own realm first?" ”
Jiang Buqi nodded, and said with a sharp gaze: "The Intelligence Department is my eyes and ears, I only have one request for you now, if there is any officer in Nanlian City who fornicates with foreign enemies, you must find out to me as soon as possible!" ”
Hearing this, Dai Zong was stunned, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. Although Jiang Buqi said it was not obvious. But Dai Zong understood what he meant-he wanted him to monitor all the officers in Nanlian City!
"Lord, you mean ......"
"Just know it in your heart, don't say it." Jiang Buqi waved his hand, "How can you figure it out yourself, but if you need any help, I will do everything I can to help you!" ”
"My lord has entrusted me with such a great task. I will not hesitate to go to the soup. Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely let the Ministry of Intelligence meet the requirements of your heart! ”
When he walked out of the city guard, Dai Zong was still a little confused, as if he hadn't woken up. Although Jiang Buqi didn't say much to him, there were already a lot of things in those few words, and even many of them subverted his impression of Jiang Buqi.
When he got home, he shut himself in the door alone and pondered for a long time. It wasn't until two hours later that he came out. At this moment. The guards noticed that his eyes were a little different from before, and seemed to be colder.
……
On the fourth day after Jiujiang City agreed to send troops, Gongsun Fang finally prepared to launch a siege.
On the gate of Nanlian City, Jiang Buqi personally guarded there, watching the army brought by Gongsun Fang from a distance. The army of 25,000 is not too much, but it is definitely not a small number, and it is dense at a glance. Connected to the woods, it seems to be endless.
"Jiang doesn't abandon you, a traitor. If you don't open the door quickly and surrender, I'll leave you with the whole corpse! Gongsun Fang stood under the city and scolded.
Jiang Buqi stood on the city gate and hugged his fist at him, and said calmly: "The city lord came in person, I should have opened the door to greet him, but you listen to slander, no matter black and white." He actually sent troops to attack Nanlian City. As the city guard of Nanlian City, I will not give up in the future, and I will not give up and have nothing to do with you, and I, the military and civilians of Nanlian City, will not have anything to do with you! ”
"Good, good, you disloyal and unrighteous traitor. At such a time, he still has a hard mouth. Yuzhang City belongs, who will catch him for me? Gongsun Fang yelled.
"I'm coming!" Shi Datou replied loudly.
Gongsun Fang glanced at him, waved his fist and said, "I'll give you five thousand men and horses, and you must break through the city gate for me!" ”
"Yes! Brothers, kill with me, the first to climb the city wall will be promoted to the third rank, and the bounty will be 10,000! Shi Datou no longer hesitated, and immediately led 5,000 soldiers to attack, many of whom were carrying siege equipment. There are ladders, there are rushing cars, and there are wells.
"Archer prepare!"
On the city gate, Jiang Buqi stared coldly at the five thousand people who rushed over, his eyes were unusually cold. As his voice fell, all the archers on the walls pulled their bowstrings apart.
After the enemy entered the firing range, Jiang did not give up and did not hesitate, and immediately waved his hand, "Shoot!" ”
Whoosh, countless arrows flew down from the city wall, shooting many Yuzhang City soldiers to the ground like a rain of arrows. Suddenly, the soldiers of Yuzhang City screamed.
Seeing this, Gongsun Fang didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly shouted: "The archers release their arrows and suppress the enemy army!" ”
It's just that the soldiers of Nanlian City occupy a favorable position and have a relatively long range on the city wall, and the soldiers of Yuzhang City must enter their range for a certain distance before they can launch a counterattack. In this way, it is a lot of losses.
Fortunately, Gongsun Fang brought more troops and more archers, although he lost some, but after launching a counterattack, he still suppressed the enemy on the city wall.
Seeing this, Shi Datou no longer had any scruples, and shouted loudly: "Kill!" Kill me! ”
I have to admit that although Shi Datou's brain is not very bright, he is indeed very brave, even if he is attacking the city, he is also the first to rush to the front.
It's a pity that although the city wall of Nanlian City is not very tall, it is not easy to climb up, and often the ladder has just been erected, and it is immediately pushed away by the soldiers of Nanlian City.
Fortunately, there were archers to suppress it, and the soldiers of Yuzhang City were still struggling to climb and want to climb the tower.
At the city gate, the huge rushing car also began to hit the city gate under the push of dozens of soldiers, and with each impact, the city gate would tremble violently and make a loud noise.
Jiang Buqi stood on the city tower, and when he saw this situation, his brows furrowed tightly. At this moment, he finally discovered that the defense of Nanlian City was not as strong as he imagined. Although the walls are only five meters high, they are still too low compared to the ladder, and it won't take long for soldiers to climb up from below!
Therefore, in less than ten minutes, the enemy actually climbed the city wall!
Gongsun Fang stood in the distance. Seeing this scene, his confidence increased greatly, and he laughed and said: "The soldiers on the city wall, you listen to me, surrender now and I will protect you from death, it is absolutely impossible for Nanlian City to block my army of Yuzhang City, do you want to be buried with him?" ”
"Gongsun Fang, don't be complacent. With Lao Tzu here, you can only sink into the sand this time! Li Kui shouted, and immediately rushed towards the enemy soldier who had climbed the city wall, and with his axe down, he cut off the soldier's head in an instant, finally temporarily alleviating the crisis.
In just five minutes, another enemy soldier climbed the city wall in other areas!
"My lord, it's not a way to go on like this. The walls are too low, and if the enemy continues to storm regardless of losses, we are afraid that it will be difficult to hold on! Guan Hai rushed to Jiang Buqi's side and said anxiously.
Jiang Buqi was very calm, and said with a smile: "What's the hurry, it is absolutely impossible for Gongsun Fang to capture Nanlian City, and I only have a way when the time comes." Now all you need to do is get back to your post. Although Gongsun Fang is only attacking the east gate now, he is not sure when he will attack the west gate. ”
"This ......" Guan Hai wanted to say something. However, after seeing Jiang Buqi's expression at this time, he still swallowed back the words and returned to his post.
The siege lasted for two hours, and Gongsun Fang finally began to collect his troops. Suddenly, those Yuzhang City soldiers retreated like a tide.
At this time, the siege of the city, except for the archers who suppressed the city wall, Gongsun Fang only sent 5,000 people. He never thought that he would take Nanlian City down the first time he launched a siege. So, this time it's just a temptation.
"My lord, why did you order the troops to be withdrawn? Just now, dozens of our army have already climbed the city wall! ”
Shi Datou, who was covered in blood, ran over, obviously a little displeased, he felt. If Gongsun Fang didn't Mingjin withdraw his troops. I must have conquered Nanlian City just now!
"What about a few dozen people climbing the walls?" Gongsun Fang glared at him, "Didn't you notice that there were not many soldiers defending on the city wall?" There were only 3,000 of them. If there are really more than 100 people on the wall, reinforcements will definitely appear and drive you all down! ”
Hearing his words, Shi Datou was obviously stunned, and said in disbelief: "Lord, what are you talking about, there were only 3,000 people defending the city wall just now?" ”
"Or what do you think?"
Shi Datou didn't speak again, but he was still a little angry in his heart.
At this moment, an old man slowly walked from behind. This person is none other than Bunji. After he came over, he didn't speak, but only bowed slightly to Gongsun Fang.
Seeing him, Gongsun Fang laughed and said enthusiastically: "Old Wen, you also saw the siege just now, what clues can you see?" ”
Wen Zhi's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded slowly, "The defense of Nanlian City is not very good, firstly, the city wall is too short, and secondly, there are too few archers. If you continue to launch an onslaught, it is indeed possible to attack it in a short time. It's just that in this way, our losses will also be very large, and we will lose at least more than 10,000 of 25,000 people. ”
Hearing this, Gongsun Fang was not worried but happy, "Old Wen, you said earlier that we couldn't capture Nanlian City, but now you see it, Nanlian City is nothing more than that." I said a long time ago, it's just a county town, and there are no strong fortifications, so how can I resist the army of my Yuzhang City? ”
Wen Zhi frowned and said coldly: "It is indeed difficult for Nanlian City to resist our army, but is it really cost-effective to lose more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in order to capture Nanlian City?" For the time being, whether it is Nanlian City or Yuzhang City, the number of qualified soldiers is very limited, and the loss of one is one less. At that time, even if you add the soldiers and horses who stayed in Yuzhang City, there will only be 30,000 people at most, and you will have to defend the three cities, what will you do to compete with Jiujiang City? ”
If it was a few days ago, Wenzhi would definitely not be careless, but now, Gongsun Fang has figured it out, now is the time when Wenzhi is needed, and he can't make trouble with him. Therefore, he immediately gave a salute and said respectfully: "Please also ask Old Wen to teach me!" ”
Wen Zhi looked at him quietly, and only sighed for a long time before he sighed and said, "Continue to attack in the afternoon, but you can't attack only one city wall, but three city walls." Five thousand men against the east gate, five thousand against the north gate, and five thousand men against the south gate. The remaining 7,000 people are mobile troops, ready for reinforcements at any time. In this way, we will be able to give full play to our superiority in troops. If you're lucky, you'll be able to take Nanlian City before dusk today! ”
"Good! That's it! Gongsun Fang immediately made a decision.
But at this time, Shi Datou jumped out and objected: "Lord, you don't need to launch a fierce attack this afternoon, I have already agreed with Une and them, and tonight, they will secretly send someone to open the east gate." At that time, if we launch another onslaught, we will definitely be able to conquer Nanlian City, and we will not lose many people!" ”
"This ......" Gongsun Fang hesitated for a moment, after all, Shi Datou's plan was also very tempting, if those three people could really open the city gate, it would indeed be easier to capture Nanlian City than a strong attack.
Wenji only stood on the side and closed his eyes to recuperate, as if he hadn't heard Shi Datou's words, and he didn't say anything. Anyway, what he should have said has already been said, and it is up to him who Gongsun Fang wants to listen to.
After pondering for a long time, Gongsun Fang finally made a decision and said apologetically: "We are not in a hurry to attack this afternoon, see if there is a chance at night." If we don't have a chance at night, we will attack again tomorrow. ”
Wen Zhi slowly looked at his eyes and said lightly: "This is okay, but I want to remind the lord that most of the army of Jiujiang City is already on the way to come, and in addition, there is also the army of Nanshan City......"
Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was obvious, it was not impossible to launch a strong attack tomorrow, and he was afraid that he would miss the opportunity.
Gongsun Fang smiled and said indifferently: "The army of Jiujiang City definitely didn't arrive so quickly, as for the army of Nanshan City, it is only five thousand people, so you don't have to worry about it at all." ”
Bunji gave him a deep look and didn't say anything more.
……
Nanlian City, above the city tower, Jiang Buqi was always observing Gongsun Fang's movements.
At this time, Zhu Wu came over and reported: "This morning's losses have been counted, and the attack has killed and injured 687 people......
"Six hundred and eighty-seven?" Jiang Buqi's brows furrowed obviously, and he hurriedly asked, "How much has the enemy lost?" ”
"I can't figure it out, but it is estimated that there were about 2,000 casualties. Such a casualty ratio is barely within an acceptable range. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Buqi did not speak, only lowered his head and pondered. After a long time, he asked with a solemn face: "Brother Zhu Wu, if we only extrapolate based on the current situation, will we be able to stop Gongsun Fang's army?" ”
"Let's open five-five." Zhu Wu sighed and said, "After all, the walls of Nanlian City have not yet been built. Today they have only attacked one wall, and if next time they attack four walls at the same time, we will be even more dangerous! (To be continued.) )
