Reinforcements
"What do you mean, Major General?" Nangong Jinyu changed her posture and continued: "For the sake of Princess Yan's face, I will call you a young general for the time being, but I have to tell a piece of evidence, and I have to be responsible for saying that I can't contribute to the work of Nanyue Palace, but I am responsible, and Wu County Order can also testify for me, what does it matter if the north gate is chosen by you?" I'm not the leader of the bandits, so how do I know they're just hitting the north gate? ”
Wu Xianling's face was unswerving, he knew that there must be a cat here, the North Gate was in full swing, the death toll was countless, and the other three gates were actually safe, who would believe this, but then again, the North Gate was chosen by himself for Changlin Town, and it was really hard to say anything.
"Since the bandits have nothing to do with the Nanyue Palace, can you let the army of the Nanyue King participate in the defense of the north gate, I am afraid that the north gate will be lost." Wu Xianling couldn't help but speak.
"It's not that this son is not sophisticated, I'm afraid that as soon as I withdrew my troops on the front foot, the bandits on the back foot will come up, so whose problem is it that Changlin Town is breached?" It seems that Nangong Jinyu doesn't plan to care about Mu Qingfeng's life or death.
"In that case, farewell! I hope that the prince of Nangong will not collapse before our north gate is lost! Mu Qingfeng put down a cruel sentence, turned around and left, things have come to this point, it is useless to say more.
After going back, Li Daoling also heard about today's incident, how did he not know that there was a problem with him, but as Nangong Jinyu said, he had to tell a piece of evidence, and now no one can take him.
"What are you going to do, it's not a way to go on like this, although we repelled the enemy's attack today, but there is still tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we have to think of a way?" Li Daoling was not at all military illustrated, and soon discovered the problem.
"Now I can only take one step at a time, and if I can't do it, I have to use the trick that I used to do in Yiguan, and the people don't want their homes to be destroyed." Mu Qingfeng is a little Jiang Lang is exhausted.
"Hey. The folk customs in the south are not as strong as those in the north, and when I saw people at the border gates daring to confront horse bandits with farm tools, the people in the south ......" Li Daoling wanted to speak and stopped, he was not very optimistic about Mu Qingfeng's countermeasures.
"Master's words are not right, we people in Daxia are all hot-blooded, the key is to see if they can be stimulated to fight, as long as the blood comes up, anything can be said."
"What the major general said is reasonable, such a thing as stimulating the fighting spirit of the people is my business, and I will do this matter, and the major general can be in charge of the military at the front with peace of mind. Anyway, I'm also the county magistrate of Changlin Town, and if I can't help, my old face won't be able to put it back. Wu County ordered Mao to recommend himself.
"Since this is the case, then there is a Laowu County Order for this matter!" Mu Qingfeng hugged his fist at Wu Xian Ling. For Changlin Town, the most lacking thing now is the soldiers, although the common people have not undergone formal military training, and the battlefield is a bit indiscriminate, but there is still a big difference between defending the city and field warfare, not to mention anything else, even throwing stones down on the city wall will also bring a lot of damage to the enemy.
The battle on the second day was really the same as Mu Qingfeng thought, the one who had the war was still the North Gate, and the other three gates were all right, but now Mu Qingfeng couldn't take care of those, and repelling the bandits in front of him was the top priority.
There have been several times when the enemy has been killed on the city wall, thanks to Zhang Peng, they fought desperately to be able to retreat the enemy, in the process of the battle, Mu Qingfeng found something wrong, it stands to reason that the bandits' attack failed yesterday, and today should be demoralized, why are they still so vigorous.
When Mu Qingfeng took a closer look, the anger in his heart became even stronger, if this Nangong Jinyu hadn't colluded with the bandits, his head would be given to him as a night pot!
It's not that Mu Qingfeng never forgets it, and remembers the appearance of every bandit, it's just that yesterday's team was obviously a little incomplete by Zhang Peng and them, not to mention the big man, but the people who came to attack the city today are full of establishment, no need to ask, the leader of the bandits must have changed the reinforcements from the other three city gates, and planned to kill himself in a wheel battle.
Even if Mu Qingfeng knew it, he wouldn't tell Zhang Peng and them, and it was useless to say it now, it could only increase the burden on their hearts, and now hurry up and find a way to crack the collusion between Nangong Jinyu and the bandits.
"Major General, the strength of this wave of bandits is really not to be underestimated, they were beaten so badly by us yesterday, and they still have such combat effectiveness today, if it weren't for the tattered clothes they were wearing, I thought the army was coming." Zhang Peng limped over, apparently suffering a lot of injuries.
Mu Qingfeng had no choice but to quickly divert the topic: "Maybe we have too much wealth in Changlin Town, so we will attract bandits to attack like this." ”
Li Xiang was killed in battle and Zhao Haishou was seriously injured, and now Zhang Peng is the actual number two person in Changlin Town.
"I said Major General," Zhang Peng lowered his voice, "Can Changlin Town be defended, just us, if the soldiers of Nanyue Wangfu don't make a move, we will have to run out sooner or later." ”
"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it! We've inflicted so much damage on the bandits, what kind of revenge will your family suffer if the city is broken! You must know that there is no difference between bandits entering the city and beasts, and you are not unaware of the tragic situation in the surrounding towns! ”
Mu Qingfeng didn't answer Zhang Peng's question directly, but just told him to either keep it or die.
Zhang Peng was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, only to see him spit on the ground, "What the young general said is reasonable, if you can't keep it, you have to keep it." Even if the city is broken, I will die in front, and it is a big deal to reunite underground! ”
Mu Qingfeng patted Zhang Peng's chest, and everything was silent.
Listening to the sound of the bandits beating the drum and marching in the distance, Zhang Peng's long knife stood up and said, "The bandits have come to give grandpa and I have sent war merits again, young general, I'll go first!" ”
Looking at Zhang Peng's somewhat struggling back, Mu Qingfeng secretly swore that he must come up with a way not to let such a hero fall here.
That's what he said, but the way Mu Qingfeng is still useless, and the current situation is nothing but relying on the bloody battle of the people led by Zhang Peng.
The battle during the day finally ended with the victory of Changlin Town, but although the bandits faded, Mu Qingfeng's brows were still tightly locked, if the enemy attacked again tomorrow, would it be up to Zhang Peng's life to fill it.
After a day of fighting, Zhang Peng and the price they paid needless to say, just by looking at a lot of people sleeping directly on the city wall, you can know how tired they are, Zhang Peng dragged his scarred body to Mu Qingfeng to report the military situation, and just after the report, he fell asleep directly on the chair, and the gauze on his body was already stained red with blood, dripping down his body to the ground. Mu Qingfeng couldn't bear to disturb Zhang Peng, who was sleeping, so he leathered a piece of clothing and walked out of the camp.
Mu Chongshan, who went to inquire about the military situation, soon returned, and he knew that everything was business as usual by looking at his face.
"Is it that the three gates are still not moving?" Mu Qingfeng asked.
"Childe is right, the three city gates are safe, this time the bandits didn't even bother to wave the flag and shout, they were directly stationed outside to mess around, and according to the scout's report, they found that there were a lot of wounded soldiers on the west gate, if nothing else, it should be the bandit team that was replaced yesterday." Mu Chongshan told Mu Qingfeng the news he had heard.
Mu Qingfeng finally knew Nangong Jinyu's plan, he was planning to use the hands of the bandits to consume all the troops in Changlin Town, and it was not up to him to say what he wanted to do, although his plan was relatively simple, but it was very effective, at least for now, Mu Qingfeng had no way at all.
With a sleepless night, the sun still shines its first rays on the city walls. Unlike in the past, this time the morale of the soldiers on the city walls was somewhat low. Many people just blindly hold down their wounds, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and they really can't arouse their interest in fighting, just because they can't see and have no hope of winning.
The bandits did not give them much time to rest, and as the trumpet sounded, they marched forward again in line to prepare for another attack.
Zhang Peng didn't even have the strength to speak, but just used his scarred hands to lift the stone, ready to smash it hard. Although I am a little desperate, it does not mean that I have to give up the opportunity to fight.
Just as everyone was getting ready, Wu Xian Ling shouted loudly behind him: "Soldiers, don't panic, I'm here to help you." ”
Originally, Mu Qingfeng wanted to persuade Wu County's order to go down, but where the war was stalemate, didn't he, a civil official, come to send him to death. Besides, what he can do to help. Just when Mu Qingfeng was about to turn around and persuade him, he kept his mouth shut.
Not for anything else, Wu County Ling really did it, he didn't come alone, he brought a lot of Changlin Town residents to the city wall.
Wu Xian Ling didn't know where to recruit a suit of armor, it was a little big to wear, and the whole person walked staggeringly, like a monkey, but no one laughed at him, because everyone saw the meaning of fighting to the death from his gaze.
Most of the residents who came were ordinary civilians, and it stands to reason that the most miserable households after the city was broken did not contribute much, which is really incomprehensible.
"Wu County Order, how did you fool so many people into joining the war?" Mu Qingfeng asked curiously.
"It's very simple, the old man has been in charge of Changlin Town for many years, and he still has a certain prestige, the old man gathered everyone overnight yesterday and told them that Changlin Town may not be able to hold it, and the old man will take the lead, and he would rather die on the way to the battle than survive in his own nest, and everyone will follow me directly after hearing it." What Wu Xianling said was very simple, but Mu Qingfeng knew when he saw the thick bandage on his right wrist that the picture at that time must not be so simple.
"Actually, it's not because of you, you guards are either the pillars of the family or the relatives and friends of the neighbors, do you think their relatives will watch them die here in vain and be indifferent, the old man is just pushing the boat." Wu Xian Ling whispered in Mu Qingfeng's ear.
"Folks, I Mu Qingfeng thank you for coming here to help, this war is related to whether we can continue to live here peacefully, so don't retreat, don't be afraid, we are with you, I know that most of you have not experienced such a battle, but don't worry, you just need to help throw the stones and sassalwoods off the city wall, and smash the bandits to death on the way to attack, as for those enemies who attack the city wall, leave it to us."
Mu Qingfeng explained the task to them, although he knew that they might panic out of fear, but now he had no other choice, the high-intensity combat for several days in a row had drained Changlin Zhenshouwei's physical strength, and now it would be good to rest more.
The common people just nodded, and then walked around the city wall, looking at the dense bandits in front of them, they were a little frightened in their hearts, and some people even began to tremble, and the blood that had just been stimulated by Wu County's order suddenly decreased a lot.
This is the benefit of the soldiers, finding the strangeness of their relatives, most of the wounded soldiers put their black hands on the shoulders of their relatives, with their support, the military heart suddenly stabilized a lot.
"Changlin! Win! ”
