Chapter 58: Heavenly Thunder Army
Fengming City, no one thought that the 150,000 troops of the Qin army would suddenly appear outside Fengming City, and no one knew where this army came from, so it appeared out of thin air, making people unguardable.
The 150,000-strong army was commanded by one person, Qin Yuan, the great prince of the Qin State, who had already discussed with the Gu Baxing in the city, and attacked the city as soon as he came, and did not set up camp outside the city.
And in fact, it is indeed the case, the sudden appearance of the Qin army launched a fierce siege as soon as it came, and it was indeed a surprise to the Tianlei army guarding the city wall.
However, the Tianlei Army is known as the Second Army of Patriotic Defense, and its overall combat strength is not much worse than that of the Silver Cavalry Army.
At this time, there were not many Tianlei troops on the city wall, only 50,000 people, and 50,000 people were scattered in Fengming City to patrol, although they blocked the first round of siege of the Qin army, but they also lost more than half, leaving only more than 20,000 people still guarding the city wall, and they were all wounded.
Wu Lei, the commander of the Tianlei Army, stood on the city wall, looking at the dense Qin army outside the city, his face was heavy, and his brows were twisted into a big pimple.
Now the Qin army has stopped attacking the city and is camping outside the city, but Wu Lei can't figure out how so many Qin troops appeared here, could it be that the defense on the edge of the swamp has been broken.
But that's not right, the two divisions of the second and third divisions of the directly subordinate army are guarding the main road of the swamp, with a total of 200,000 people, no matter how brave the Qin army is, breaking through their defenses, there will definitely be news.
But no news has been received so far, which can only indicate one thing, these Qin troops did not come from the quagmire, but from other places.
"General Wu," At this moment, a middle-aged general wearing a general's armor and holding a halberd painted by the day rushed up to the city wall and came to Wu Lei, it was Jiang Yifan, the head of the Ouchi royal guard.
Seeing Jiang Yifan coming, Wu Lei frowned, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted him, and asked at the same time, "Lord Jiang, why are you here?"
Jiang Yifan ran up to the city wall, glanced at the outside of the city wall, his face instantly became very ugly, and said, "General Wu, the big thing is not good, there is a rebellion in the city, I originally planned to let you send someone to quell it, but now it seems that I'm afraid," Speaking of which, Jiang Yifan didn't say anything, he didn't know that the Qin army had attacked before, but he just came to send an order to Wu Lei and ask him to deploy manpower to quell the civil strife, but when he came to the city wall, he saw the dead and wounded soldiers everywhere, and he had a bad premonition at that time, when he saw the dense Qin army outside the city, it was like a red ocean, his uneasiness was confirmed, and at the same time, his heart sank to the bottom.
Now, he understood why there was civil strife in the city, and it must have been a ploy, a plan to collaborate with the enemy.
When Wu Lei heard this, his face became even more ugly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Lord Jiang, do you know who the rebel is?"
"City Lord Yu Qian, he took his local army of 20,000 people, and he has already attacked the City Lord's Mansion. Jiang Yifan replied.
Hearing this, Wu Lei's eyes were murderous, and he shouted angrily, "Yu Qian, this son of a bitch, he dares to eat inside and out." But then he frowned again, and said to Jiang Yifan, "Master Jiang, now outside the city,"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Jiang Yifan had already guessed what Wu Lei was going to say, and immediately interrupted, "General Wu, when I came, I saw that the Tianlei Army in the city was rushing towards the city wall, and now the army of the Qin State is outside, General Wu will definitely defend the city, and I will naturally be able to deal with the rebels in the city." ”
Saying that, Jiang Yifan didn't dare to stay too long, and hurried directly towards the city.
Although there are many rebels in the city, they are all local armies, and their real combat ability is not strong, and the royal guards led by Jiang Yifan are only more than 3,000 people, although the number is small, but all of them are top experts, not to mention killing all 20,000 local troops, it is no problem to hold on for a period of time.
As long as the 200,000 directly subordinate troops stationed on the edge of the swamp rush over, they will definitely be able to annihilate the Qin army outside the city, and when the time comes, the rebels led by Yu Qian in the city will be defeated.
Jiang Yifan left, and not long after, the Tianlei Army, which was originally patrolling the city, rushed to the city wall one after another.
Of course, on the way they came, they naturally heard that Yu Qian was leading the local army to besiege the City Lord's Mansion, which is where the current Lord of the Kingdom is located, but as members of the Tianlei Army, they only accepted Wu Lei's orders, so although they heard the wind, they did not rush to the rescue, but rushed to the city wall to join Wu Lei.
The brothers in the city rushed over, and now, the number of the Heavenly Thunder Army on the city wall has increased to more than 70,000, and a single defense of the city to resist the 150,000 army of the Qin army should not be a problem.
In the Chinese military tent temporarily set up by the Qin army, there were more than 30 people sitting at this time, all of them were generals in armor, and they were all generals above the corps commander.
Qin Yuan's gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, and finally stopped on the face of the one-year veteran general, and said coldly, "General Gu, tell His Highness what is going on?"
As soon as the veteran general heard this, he slipped down from his chair and knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, I just want to capture Zhao Ling and present it to Your Highness, I,"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Qin Yuan's face sank, and he swept the wine glass off the table with a flick of his hand.
Only a crackling sound was heard in the ears, and the wine glass and jug were smashed in an instant, and at the same time, Qin Yuan's eyes showed ruthlessness, and he said coldly, "I think you want to make meritorious service and want to go crazy, I said okay, I will lead a large army to attack the city, and you take the opportunity to open the city gate, but now, look at what you have done," In the end, Qin Yuan was naturally angry, and shouted loudly outside the tent, "Someone." ”。
As his words fell, the curtain of the tent door was lifted, and two sword and axe men came in from outside, and the two came in and bowed, "Your Highness." ”
Qin Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed at the trembling General Lin who was kneeling on the ground, and said angrily, "Pull him out for me, and the military law will deal with it." ”
"Yes. The two axemen replied and stood up one after another.
"Your Highness spare your life, Your Highness spare your life," General Na Lin instantly turned pale with fright when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed to Qin Yuan for a while, begging for mercy for a while.
And those two sword and axe men, they don't care who you are, as long as you get the order, he doesn't care who you are, and he directly strides forward, and dragged General Lin out.
"Slow" At this moment, a general sitting on the side with a long sword at his waist got up, and after opening his mouth to stop the movements of the two sword and axe hands, he turned to Qin Yuan and bowed, and said, "Your Highness, your subordinates have a plan to enter the city within an hour." ”
"Oh," Qin Yuan's eyes lit up, staring at the general and asking, "What is the plan, tell me quickly." ”
