Chapter 218: Bait
The siege has begun!
This is the first time that Mei Youren has experienced this retro combat mode, there are no roaring guns, but it is not quiet at all. The sound of the boulder cutting through the sky is comparable to that of a large-caliber heavy artillery, and the sound of the tragic battle is even more terrifying. It wasn't the first time that Mei Youren had been on the battlefield, but even so, he was a little disturbed by this shocking scene.
But he quickly got used to it. There is no way, if you don't adapt to it, there is only a dead end waiting for you. Mei Youren calmed down, the other party's preparation was very well, as evidenced by the number of those siege equipment. The slowly moving ladders, the constant firing in the distance, the shocking stone throwers each time, and all sorts of small things that even he didn't know were densely packed outside the city like a swarm of marching ants with a clear division of labor, and the strong momentum seemed to tear all those who dared to stop them into pieces.
At this time, Mei Youren's role is much smaller, and he is also very aware of this, leaving professional things to professional people to do, Mei Youren has never been in front of things he is not good at, so now the power of the entire army is concentrated in the hands of Heisha, and Mei Youren has completely become a ...... Well, a weapon of deterrence.
That's right, deterrent weapons. Now Mei Youren's role is to stay honestly on the city wall and wait for the dispatch of the black yarn. Because of his strong archery skills, whenever an enemy siege equipment is too dense and the defenders are a little overwhelmed, Heisha will ask Mei Youren to go to the rescue, and wait until the crisis is resolved and then come back to obey the order. In this way, on the one hand, it can maximize the power of Mei Youren's "deterrent weapon", and it can also keep him full of physical strength, and second, it can also make all the soldiers accustomed to the fierceness and cruelty of the battlefield, so as not to rely too much on Mei Youren. This is important, after all, this is the first wave of the offensive. There will be many such cases in the future.
In short, the morning of the first day of combat was spent in a magnificent but somewhat undisturbed manner. There were hundreds of dead and wounded on Mei Youren's side, but the attackers obviously suffered more casualties, and after the wave of attack receded, a black corpse was left behind. For the first time, what these soldiers felt after the war was not fear, but a faint excitement and a faint sense of relief. Because during the break, the members of the insurance team had already come up to count the list of dead and wounded, and the people who followed on the side were the most iron-faced and selfless monitoring brigade in the army, that is, those guys under Zhao Bin. For the first time, these big-headed soldiers felt that they were also cared for, and they couldn't help but feel a warm current in their hearts, but also a little pride. No one wants to be a slave for the rest of their lives, but they didn't see any hope before, so they were willing to fall. And this time, they find that the life they have always dreamed of is so close to them. The combat power of the dreamers is terrifying, and even Mei Youren and Heisha, who coordinated everything, were a little unexpected.
In the temporary camp outside the city, Song Yunwen was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, listening to the battle analysis constantly read out by his subordinates, and he couldn't help frowning. These people are stronger than they imagined, although they have expected it, but when they really encounter such a thing, their hearts are more or less gloomy.
"Xu Shiming, analyze the battle this morning. ”
"Yes, sir. Xu Shiming stepped forward respectfully, but Song Yunwen, who was watching, frowned slightly. There is never a need for polite scholars in the military, what is needed here is a group of beasts like wolves and tigers. But obviously, this kid hasn't realized the essence of this yet.
"Judging from the early attack, the place is obviously not a group of well-trained fighters, from the time of attack they choose, as well as the density of attacks, and the means of attack, these people should be a rabble, but their commander should be a good hand, and I also noticed that the other side should have a sharpshooter, we have several charges are beaten back by him, but no matter how strong a person's combat effectiveness is, it is futile under the attack of the military formation, I don't think I need to care too much. ”
Song Yunwen's brows furrowed again, this kid is still too tender, if it were his father and brother, he would definitely not make the same decision. Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find. This is not a joke, sometimes a brave military general can even turn the tide of the war or even influence the tide of the war, and because of this, the military camp has become a territory that those civilian officials can never really control. Once the literati really took control of the army, then sorry, the country was not far from extinction. In the land boundary, the Great Song Dynasty was like this. And in the Heavenly Realm, the same is true for the Western Heavenly Region.
And for some reason, in Song Yunwen's mind, he suddenly thought of the young man who dared to break into the camp alone last night, such a person is a real soldier. Although he hid his strength and murderous aura very well, he still couldn't escape the eyes of a treacherous and cunning guy like Song Yunwen. Such a person is a real warrior. This is the evaluation given by Song Yunwen.
"In the afternoon, the whole army doubled its attack and reduced the distribution of rushing trucks and ladders, and the tall timber around it had been cut down, and it would not be easy to rebuild these machines once they were damaged. In addition, order the shooter in the army to keep an eye on the opponent's sharpshooter, and if possible, give priority to knocking the opponent down. When necessary, Ben Shuai can also be used as a bait. ”
"Dashuai, isn't this a bit too exciting? One of the generals stood up and said, "I don't think it's necessary to pay too much attention to an archer. Even if our soldiers don't move and let him kill, how many people can that guy kill?"
"Oh, what do you think?" Song Yunwen's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and then he regained his composure: "If you think so, I have a task, I hope you can help." ”
Song Yunwen said very politely, but the expression on his face was tinged with a hint of sarcasm. This guy is the person stuffed into his own team by the Senate, this kind of thing is very common, and there are also their own people within the Senate, and everyone turns a blind eye, which can be regarded as a compromise in disguise. But this time, since you came out on your own, don't blame me for being ruthless.
"No matter what the task is, the villain will definitely do his best for the handsome, and he will die. ”
"Well, my mission is simple, and that is to hope that you will be able to wear my armor and go to the front line to inspect the camp. I don't think the archer on the other side will give up such a good opportunity, so I hope you can agree. Of course, the difficulty of this matter is really not low, so if General Li thinks that he is not enough, he can also choose to refuse. ”
Song Yunwen's words were very polite, but he didn't give this guy known as General Li the slightest choice. In the military, the evaluation of unbelief is enough to ruin anyone's good future, no matter who he follows in the future. Gritting his teeth, the general surnamed Li stepped forward and resisted the urge to scold his mother and hugged his fist at Song Yunwen: "The last general is willing to take this life, and he will no longer have the high hopes of being a marshal." ”
"Okay! worthy of being a warrior of my north, this pride is enough to be admired. Come, serve the wine, I will personally toast General Li with a bowl!"
"The handsome is polite, although this matter is not dangerous, it is still necessary to keep a cool head. Commander, save this wine until I return victorious!"
"Okay, worthy of being a strong man in our army, I'll save this bowl of wine until you return from victory!" Song Yunwen said proudly: "Come, bring my armor!"
Seeing Song Yunwen's armor, General Li was almost bitter, damn it, is this armor, this is simply a mocking artifact. The golden bright light armor, the heart guard on the chest are polished brightly, and even in the military tent, it is bright and eye-catching. And that helmet is even more dizzying, it is also a vulgar golden color, but it seems to be afraid that others will not see him, and there is a long pheasant feather stuck in it, and I am afraid that no one will not see himself except for the blind man on his head.
"General Li, this armor was personally created by Ou Yechang, the forging master of the imperial capital, and he has always been reluctant to wear it, but today, I will give it to you!"
"Thank you, Marshal, for the reward. General Li half-knelt on the ground, and he had to thank him happily for being cheated by others, which was definitely not a wonderful feeling. Like a marionette, he was put in this large humanoid mocker by a group of guards, and General Li almost wanted to cry out loud, but he expected that even then he would not be able to give up halfway, otherwise there would be no joke in the army, and the crime of disturbing the military order would be enough to cut off his own head.
Looking at General Li, who looked like his father and mother had died, Song Yunwen's guards burst into earth-shattering laughter. Immediately, Xu Shiming said to Song Yunwen: "Dashuai, what should we do next?"
"Excluding the protection of the sharpshooters in the army, this time, if possible, we must kill that guy!"
