Chapter 301: The Great Army Pressed the Realm
Yu Ren's arrow was firmly inserted into Liu Yurong's headscarf, like a long hairpin.
"Senior Sister Liu. This arrow can be regarded as my nostalgia for the old feelings. Further, I can't be polite! ”
Liu Yurong was shot by Yu Ren's arrow, which can be regarded as calming down a little. Without waiting for Yu Ren to say more, she took the initiative to retreat dozens of feet back.
"Let's go!" Cao Wenzhao persuaded.
Liu Yurong was willing to fail like this.
"I'm not busy, I still haven't got a killer yet!" With that, she waved behind her. "Bring that Fan Hanbin here. Let him shout to the city. ”
Cao Wenzhao shook his head. Seeing that Liu Yurong insisted, he didn't say anything more. Although Liu Ziming seems to value and trust him, he also knows very well that Liu Ziming's trust is all fake. He never really trusted him, especially after the defeat in Taizhou. Liu Ziming always asked Liu Yurong to follow him from time to time.
Therefore, seeing Liu Yurong's insistence at this time, Cao Wenzhao did not say more.
Two Scenting Cultists escorted a middle-aged man in a general's uniform to the front.
"The people of the city listened. Your Lord will have fallen into our hands. Surrender quickly, or I will kill him." ”
Above the castle tower, the defenders heard that their main general, Fan Hanbin, had fallen into the hands of the other party, and they couldn't help but cause a riot.
"Listen, I will give you a quarter of an hour to open the gates. Otherwise, we will kill him. ”
The two incense smellers shouted as they put their knives on Fan Hanbin's neck.
On the city tower, Yu Ren was also surprised to see Fan Hanbin fall into the hands of the other party. Seeing the soldiers guarding the city around him talking about it, he knew. No matter how good or bad this vassal Hanbin was in the past, he must still be their commander, and he still has a great influence on them.
If the opponent keeps holding such a chess piece, it will be a great disadvantage to the battle situation in front of them. Thinking of this, Yu Ren shouted loudly to the city, "You say that he is our domain general, is he the one?" Our feudal generals have already gone to Beijing to ask for help. How could it have fallen into your hands? ”
When the two incense smellers heard this, they couldn't help but say proudly, "Don't you believe it? As soon as this guy left the city, he was intercepted by my followers. If you don't believe me, I'll bring him closer so you can see it clearly. ”
As the two disciples spoke, they hugged Fan Hanbin and walked forward for more than ten zhang, and deliberately placed the torch very close to Fan Hanbin's face.
"Brothers, it's me. Hurry up and open ......"
Fan Hanbin had just shouted these words to the city when he was pierced through the throat by a sharp arrow that suddenly fired. The frightened two Smelling Sect disciples fled backwards.
This sudden accident surprised everyone. Seeing Fan Hanbin convulsive and falling in a pool of blood, the defenders on the city tower didn't know what to do for a while.
At this time, Yu Ren waved the longbow in his hand and shouted to everyone, "Brothers, this feudal staff will still be a fake. These thieves tried in vain to coax us into opening the city gates with a fake. The real vassal general is already about to arrive in Beijing. Soon, the army of the imperial court will come to our rescue.
We just need to follow King Lu and hold on to the city. When the army arrives, extinguish the thieves. We are the first thing. When the time comes, everyone will wait for the promotion and the silver! ”
When the sergeants heard this, their morale rose again. Someone shouted from the city, "Defend the city, kill all the thieves." ”
The others shouted along.
And there was a cry in the city.
When Liu Yurong saw this, she knew that she couldn't do anything today, so she had to order a temporary retreat of two miles, and wait for the arrival of the army to attack the city again.
Yu Ren repelled Liu Yurong and them, and temporarily put down a stone in his heart.
"The enemy should not be attacking the city again for a while. I'll get some sleep first, and if the enemy makes any move, you will wake me up immediately. Yu Ren said to the Ruolan sisters who were following him closely.
"Got it!" Ruolan said, taking out a piece of cloth from the backpack behind her and placing it on the city tower. She is a careful woman, and she knows that with Yu Ren's character, she will not go down to the city during this period. So she deliberately carried such a thick cotton cloth with her, so that Yu Ren could sleep cleanly and comfortably on the city tower.
Yu Ren had not slept since he had marched from Taizhou City to Yanzhou the night before. At this time, seeing that the crisis had passed for the time being, my spirit also relaxed. This sleepiness immediately came to us. As soon as he fell to the ground, he fell into a deep sleep.
Yu Ren slept soundly this night, and he was woken up by Ruolan. When I looked up, it was already sunshine.
"General, general. The enemy, the enemy is coming. A centurion stood in front of Yu Ren and reported.
When Yu Ren heard that the enemy was coming, he immediately jumped up.
When Yu Ren looked at the city, he couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp. I saw a large flow of people under Yanzhou City, densely packed, like ants pouring out of their nests. If you look closely, these people have all kinds of clothes. Some wore long robes, some wore short robes, and some men wore women's clothes; There were those who rode horses, those who rode donkeys, and those who rode bulls. There were those with swords, those with spears, hoes, shovels, and even spatulas.
But although the equipment is poor, the number of people is terrible. At a glance, more than ten miles outside Yanzhou City, there are people everywhere, and you can't see the end at all.
Yu Ren grew so big, and it was the first time he had seen so many enemies.
"Generals, generals. What to do? Let's surrender! The Lady Hundred was obviously frightened as well.
Yu Ren took a few deep breaths, regained his spirits, and said in a loud voice to the frightened guards around him.
"What are you afraid of. Don't look at the number of them. Don't you see what they have in their hands? It is said that even if there are a thousand sheep, they will still be sheep after all. And even if there is only one wolf, he is still a wolf. Right now we're the wolf. And these thieves are like sheep before us. No matter how many sheep there are, it is impossible to eat the wolves.
So, you don't have to worry at all. ”
The soldiers around him listened to Yu Ren's words, and some of them were skeptical.
"Don't you believe it! And look. I'll go and ask the prince for orders to rush out with a cavalry. Don't have a lot of people, just fifty people, and I can kill them from the ranks of others and come back. ”
After speaking, Yu Ren rolled up the corners of his robe and hurried down to the city. Those guards of the city were still a little skeptical of Yu Ren's words. After last night's mutation, they had already seen Yu Ren's resoluteness and decisiveness. But they didn't quite believe that Yu Ren could really kill one opponent from the dense enemy formation under the city easily, as he said.
Yu Ren knew that the soldiers defending the city were now intimidated by the enemy's absolute numerical superiority. If he can't give them something to boost their confidence. I'm afraid this battle will end soon. Yanzhou City is also difficult to keep. Although he knew that his behavior was very risky. But he knew that he had to do it. Defending Yanzhou City is the bottom line in his heart to fulfill his promise to Qi Shijiao.
At this time, there was only one belief in his heart: to defend Yanzhou no matter what.
Outside King Lu's mansion, King Lu was leading a team of people to prepare to find him. Seeing him hurrying over, King Lu hurried up to meet him.
"How? I've heard that there are a lot of anti-thieves, and you can't see the end at a glance, right? ”
Yu Ren didn't want King Lu to be intimidated by the enemy's momentum, so he said lightly, "Don't worry! Rajah. Although the enemy is numerous, it is an absolute rabble. This enemy is not at all to be feared. The most important thing at the moment is to win a battle and boost the confidence of our soldiers.
I heard that there was a cavalry guard of fifty men in the prince's palace. I wonder if the prince can hand them over to me temporarily? ”
"No problem." Lu Wang said.
"Zhu Quan, you go and summon my cavalry guards immediately. Leave it to General Yu to deal with it all. ”
Due to the escape of Fan Hanbin. King Lu had temporarily appointed Yu Ren as the commander of Yanzhou City, and everyone had to obey his command.
Zhu Quan galloped away, and arrived in a moment with a heavily armed iron cavalry team.
These fifty people, all of them are wearing heavy armor. From horses to people, they are covered in heavy armor all over their bodies. Only then did Yu Ren know what a real iron rider was. Such an outfit is simply a moving tank, no wonder it is called an iron horse.
Zhu Quan turned over and dismounted, and handed a pair of armor in his hand to Yu Ren.
Yu Ren took the armor, put it on his body, and then turned over and got on his horse. Led fifty iron cavalry to the southern city. Although the enemy has surrounded Yanzhou, it has not yet launched an attack.
Yu Ren asked the city gate to be opened.
