Chapter 944: Siege

Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 inforeadx;? Shangguan Xiu unexpectedly killed Chang Guang, successfully took over the city defense of Yucheng, after entering Yucheng, he first went to the granary of Yucheng, and at present, two granaries have been set up in Yucheng City, one in the east city, one in the west city, and the two large granaries are full of grain.

Looking at the account books, the hoarding of grain in the east and west granaries has exceeded 1.5 million stones, and there are still 300,000 stones of grain to be transported to Yucheng in the near future, so that the grain in Yucheng is close to two million stones.

If the Ningnan Army of Mingshui County is calculated by 500,000, the grain hoarding in the granary of Yucheng is enough to support them for four months, and when the grain and grass in the rear are sufficient, it is not easy for the soldiers of the Feng Army on the front line to capture Mingshui County.

After Shangguan Xiu inspected the granary, he went to inspect the armory in Yucheng.

In the arrangement of the military land, the people of Ningnan are not confused, although the grain and grass of the front-line soldiers are hoarded in Yucheng, but the armory is not located in Yucheng, but in the county town, the granary and the armory are located in two places.

The armory in Yucheng is very small, and there are not many weapons and ammunition hoarded in it, only enough for the 20,000 soldiers who defend the city.

In the armory, Shangguan Xiuzai carefully inspected the artillery without reserves, the number of guns in reserve did not exceed 2,000, and the number of ammunition was limited, some of which were paper shells, and some of which were separated from gunpowder and projectiles.

Shangguan Xiu picked up a firecrackle casually, compared to the firecracker produced by the Fengguo Forge Workshop, the firecracker made in Ningnan is much rougher, and the most reassuring thing for Shangguan Xiu is that the firearm of the Ningnan Army is still breech-loaded,

The comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of the breech and the breech is very obvious, and the two sides are evenly matched, which is doomed to make it impossible for the Ningnan army to win the wind army in the front.

Shangguan Xiu was playing with the fire gun in his hand, his eyes were also rolling, and he had a calculation in his heart.

Elder Zhou Yi came to Shangguan Xiu's approach, bowed his body, and asked, "Young Palace Master, is there anything wrong with our army's firearms?"

Shangguan Xiu slowly put down the fire gun in his hand, smiled indifferently, and said, "No problem, I'm just curious, it's such an inconspicuous gadget, but it can easily penetrate our spirit armor,"

Spiritual cultivators have a natural sense of rejection of fire guns, which is also easy to understand, even if they don't say it, they don't have that kind of thought in their hearts, but subconsciously, spiritual cultivators still feel that they are a level higher than non-spiritual cultivators.

However, with the advent and extensive application of firearms, the superiority of spiritual cultivators over non-spiritual cultivators has been completely crushed.

Zhou Yi glared at the firearm in the box, snorted heavily, his tone was full of contempt and unwillingness, and said angrily: "Only opportunistic,"

Shangguan Xiu smiled in his heart, shook his head and said, "Elder Zhou, let's go out," Shangguan Xiu walked with the people of Lingxiao Palace all the way, creating a lot of convenience for him now, not only knowing the names of each of them, but also finding out their temperament,

The next day, 300,000 stone military grain transported from Tianjing arrived in Yucheng, Yucheng set up a new granary in the south of the city, so far, Yucheng has hoarded grain as much as two million stones, it can be said that the grain and grass required by hundreds of thousands of soldiers in front of him are in Yucheng,

The grain transport team of the imperial court had just left, and only one day later, in the afternoon, a large number of wind troops appeared in the north of Yucheng.

Seeing this, the sentries in the watchtower immediately sounded the alarm, and for a while, the whistles in the city were everywhere, and in the streets and alleys, groups of Ningnan troops could be seen running everywhere.

Yucheng here is not the front line, but belongs to the rear, Yucheng's defense is not very strong, the entire Yucheng, there are only four artillery, respectively arranged in the east, west, north and south four cities, the north city here, only a poor artillery,

The people of Lingxiao Palace, led by Shang Guanxiu, climbed to the top of the north city one after another, raised their eyes and looked out, and it was not the wind army or who was marching quickly from the north.

This wind army, almost about 10,000 people, in the team, the flag is displayed, the embroidery belt is flying, especially eye-catching is a big flag in the center, the flag is red on a black background, embroidered with a huge wind word,

Seeing the oncoming wind army, the faces of the generals of the Ningnan army changed, it turned out that the county lord did not lie to us, the real goal of the wind army was indeed a sneak attack on Yucheng,

The wind army advanced until it was about two miles away from the city wall of Yucheng and stopped, and the marching team began to rearrange and put on an offensive formation,

At the same time, the drums in the camp of the wind army were beating, and the soldiers shouted in unison with the beat of the drums: "Wind, wind, wind, wind, wind, wind,"

"Bring all the ammunition, rolling wood, stones, and fire oil to the city, and prepare for battle," the generals of the Ningnan Army reacted and shouted to the city one after another,

A large number of Ningnan troops carried boxes of ammunition and rolling wood and stones to the city.

Shangguan Xiu glanced left and right, and snorted coldly: "What are you all nervous about, the Feng army outside the city is only about 10,000 people at best, and there are 20,000 soldiers in our army,"

The generals of the Ningnan Army subconsciously looked at Shangguanxiu, only to see him standing straight in front of the arrow stack, his hands proudly behind his back, his waist was strong and straight, his face was as usual, his expression was indifferent, and his slender body was as thin as Mount Tai.

He stood there, even if he didn't do anything, didn't say anything, just a glance at him, it made people feel an inexplicable sense of peace of mind,

People couldn't help but nod secretly, worthy of being the young palace master of Lingxiao Palace, the dignified Feifeng County Lord, although he was born in the rivers and lakes, but his whole body exuded a wind of a general who could stabilize people's hearts, as if as long as she was there, even if there were 100,000 or millions of enemies on the opposite side, it was not enough to be afraid.

But how did they know that the wind of the general they felt at this moment was not the eldest grandson Feifeng's at all, but Shangguan Xiu's.

The kind of aura that knows and controls everything even in the face of the enemy's thousands of troops is something that Shangguan Xiu has experienced hundreds of battles and tempered little by little.

Puff,

A general of the Ningnan Army came back to his senses, involuntarily knelt on one knee, intervened to give a salute, and said in a loud voice: "The last general is willing to obey the dispatch of the county lord,"

His words also woke up the companions around him, and the people knelt down to salute one after another, and said in unison: "The last general is willing to obey the dispatch of the county lord,"

The corners of Shangguan Xiu's mouth raised, stretched out a finger, shook it at everyone, and said: "Only once, we only give the Feng army a chance to attack the city, after repelling the Feng army, our soldiers will counterattack out of the city, and the enemy who will attack in the future will be wiped out outside the city,"

"Yes, county lord," the generals replied in unison,

"Wind, wind, wind,"

"Wind, wind, wind—"

The wind army that lined up in a belligerent formation outside the city did not do pre-battle artillery bombardment, and advanced directly to Yucheng, more precisely, this wind army seemed to be in too much of a hurry, and the team did not carry artillery at all.

Listening to the sound of the 'wind' outside the city, as well as the familiar and unique drumbeat of the wind army, the blood in Shangguan Xiu's body also began to boil, and the essence of his eyes became more and more vibrant, shining like two shining gems.

The war horses that have been fighting for many years will naturally get excited when they hear the sound of drums when they go to the battlefield.

At this time, Shangguan Xiu's blood in his body accelerated, and every cell in his body seemed to have woken up from his slumber, the corners of his mouth naturally turned up slightly, and his smile revealed bloodthirsty coldness.

"Kill-" When the wind army was still a mile away from Yucheng, the shouts of killing outside the city were everywhere, and then, the fire guns rang out in unison, and a side of smoke rose from the camp of the wind county,

Crackling,

The projectiles that flew from outside the city hit the city wall and the arrow battlements, crackling, stone chips flying sideways, and on the city, the screams of the Ningnan army sounded one after another, and from time to time someone was shot and fell to the ground.

"Fight back, all of them,"

The generals of the Ningnan Army drew their swords one after another and pointed out the outside of the city, bang, bang, bang, and the sound of shooting on the top of the city also rang out.

After the first row of Ningnan soldiers finished firing a shot, they immediately retreated and reloaded, and the Ningnan soldiers in the back row filled forward and continued to shoot outside the city.

The soldiers on both sides launched a back-and-forth shooting,

"Rescue the wounded, if you can still stand, keep shooting for me," a general of the Ningnan Army stepped on the arrow stack with one foot, and waved the sword in his hand, commanding the soldiers around him,

As he was shouting, a bullet flew from outside the city and hit him in the temple.

The Ningnan army general didn't say a word, his head was pierced, he was killed on the spot, and his body fell to the head of the city.

Another general hurriedly rushed forward, first pushed his body, and saw that the person was not saved, he looked out, and another bullet flew and hit the center of his eyebrows.

"It's the Sharps, it's the Wind Warriors, be careful of the Wind's Sharps' muskets,"

An experienced general understood what was going on, hid behind the arrow stack, pulled his neck and shouted,

In recent years, the wind army has made many reforms, but Ruishi has not been banned, but the value of Ruishi's existence has quietly changed.

In the past, the Wind Army Rui Shi was a daredevil, and martial arts and courage were the criteria for evaluating a Rui Shi, but now the Feng Jun Rui Shi, marksmanship and the ability to wait for opportunities have become the criteria for review.

In the Wind Army, the only class equipped with muskets is the Sharps, who are not included in the battle formation, but can follow their own battle formation, move and move freely, more like free men on the battlefield,

The Wind Army Warrior, the predecessor of the future Wind Army Non-commissioned Officer,

Two generals in a row were killed by the Feng Army's sharp soldiers, and the other party used muskets that were more advanced and expensive than the firecrackers, and had a more accurate and longer range, the four elders of Lingxiao Palace came to Shangguan Xiu's approach one after another, and hurriedly persuaded: "Young Palace Master, don't stand here, it's too dangerous,"

"What are you afraid of, as the lord of Haotian, if I am afraid of the enemy, how can I let the soldiers fight against the enemy," Shangguan Xiu glanced left and right, stood in place, did not move, several elders looked at each other, and could only stubbornly protect his left and right, while looking nervously outside the city,

Although there are only more than 10,000 wind troops, and there is no artillery assistance, the offensive of the wind army is still extremely fierce, the soldiers in front fall one, the back immediately fills the previous one, the front falls a row, and the back immediately fills a row, completely regardless of casualties, the front and servants advance one after another,

In the face of such an enemy, even if they have a huge advantage, the soldiers will still fight in fear and hairy.

Soon, the wind army advanced to the front of the city wall, and the ladders were erected, and the wind army began to rush forward to the city.
