Chapter 331: Ten reinforcements
In the twilight, they had just repelled a round of attacks from the Smelling Fragrance Sect. Liu Changle looked at the exhausted brothers and the devastated city walls around him, and said with some pessimism.
Yu Ren stood against the wall with a long knife in his hand.
Under the city of Taizhou at sunset, there were dead bodies everywhere, both enemies and their own brothers. Because the fighting was so fierce in the past two days, neither side had time to clean up the battlefield and bury their comrades. The flames of war on the battlefield had not yet been extinguished, and the people of the Smelling Incense Sect had temporarily withdrawn to their camps.
"Wait! Wait two or three days and see again. At the moment, although we are difficult, the enemy is more difficult than us. As long as we survive the most difficult two or three days, victory will be ours. "In the two days of fighting, Yu Ren had no less than ten wounds on his body, large and small. However, in order to give confidence to Liu Changle and the soldiers defending the city, he always insisted on staying in the city.
Liu Changle listened to Yu Ren's words and was taken aback. "General Yu, don't say two or three days in Taizhou City at the moment, even if you keep it for another day, I'm afraid it's very difficult!"
Yu Ren licked his chapped lips and said, "Don't worry, General." I promise you, as long as we can hold out for another day or two, reinforcements will come to our rescue. When the time comes, it will be time to wipe out the anti-thieves of the Smell Fragrance Sect in one fell swoop.
As soon as Yu Ren finished saying this, a figure suddenly appeared in the camp outside the city.
It's Topaz Butterfly!
Huang Yudie rode a horse to the city alone, and she had seen Yu Ren at the head of the city for a long time.
In the past two days, no matter how fierce the battle is, Yu Ren is like an unfailing banner, always guarding there. In the eyes of the Taizhou defenders, Yu Ren is their flag sticker, no matter how difficult the battle is, as long as they see Yu Ren's figure, they will not lose confidence.
On the contrary, for those who were besieging the city, Yu Ren was like a chasm in front of them that could never be crossed. It is this chasm that has extinguished the fire that they have ignited again and again.
For Yu Ren, Huang Yudie really hated him, but there was nothing he could do.
Huang Yudie knew that to deal with an enemy like Yu Ren, it was enough to rely on force alone. So, she ventured to the city alone.
"Boy, I advise you to get acquainted with each other and surrender early! Yanzhou City has been captured by us, and Sect Master Xu is rushing here with 200,000 horses and stars in the night, and he will arrive in Taizhou in less than a day. Taizhou City must not be able to hold it, so why bother to do useless struggles! ”
Huang Yudie's words are really very lethal. When the defenders of the city heard that Xu Hongru was leading 200,000 people to Taizhou to help, their faces couldn't help but change greatly, and they began to talk about it.
Seeing this, Yu Ren started to laugh.
Everyone saw Yu Ren suddenly laughing, and then they quieted down a little.
"Lord Huangtan, are you all three-year-olds? Don't say that Yanzhou City can't be breached so easily, even if it is broken by Xu Hongru. With your 200,000 rabble, can you still fight 200,000?
When I came out of Yanzhou, there were less than 100,000 of you! What can the remaining remnants of the defeated army do even if they get here?
It's you. After staying under the city of Taizhou for so long, the loss was so huge, but nothing was gained.
Believe it or not, as long as I send a signal at this time, I can immediately bring in a team of 10,000 elites and annihilate you all under the city of Taizhou. ”
Huang Yudie was secretly shocked in her heart, of course she knew very well that Yu Ren's words were right. Their team fought hard under the city of Taizhou for two days, and their vigor was already completely gone, and their fatigue was exhausted. If at this time the officers and soldiers kill a new force, it will be very difficult to avoid the destruction of the whole army in such a situation where there is a strong city in front and chasing troops in the back.
But Huang Yudie also knew that at this time, the soldiers on both sides had reached a state of extreme fatigue, and in such a situation, the military spirit was often the key to determining the outcome of this battle. Therefore, although Huang Yudie was shocked in her heart, she did not show it on her face.
She also followed Yu Ren's example, laughed loudly, and then pointed at Yu Ren at the head of the city with a horsewhip and said, "Boy, do you think that I, Huang Yudie, came out on the first day?" If you make up a lie, I'll believe you? I see that your city is about to be breached by us, if you really have reinforcements, will you still hide until now?
All right! Since you said you have reinforcements, then you can call them out and show me! ”
Yu Ren did not speak.
"Why, there's nothing to say! No is nothing. You and I both know very well in our hearts that Taizhou City will only hold on for another day or two at most. When the time comes, you Yu Ren can run, and Liu Shoubei can also run, but what about these brothers who defend the city? Many of them have families in the city.
Since you know that you can't keep it, why do you have to let so many brothers accompany you to die, and the grudge between the two sides is so deep.
In this way, when the city is broken, I dare not guarantee that my brothers will not slaughter it out of anger. But if you surrender now, I promise you won't slaughter the city! ”
Huang Yudie's last few words were obviously provocative. When Liu Changle heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked. Originally, the two days of hard fighting had already lowered the confidence of the soldiers to the lowest point, if they listened to Huang Yudie's provocation again, I was afraid that as soon as it got dark, a large number of soldiers would escape.
This point, Liu Changle, as a veteran who has led troops for decades, knows it very well better than anyone else.
Liu Changle was about to argue, but Yu Ren had already spoken first.
"I would have liked to have had more time with you here. All right! Since you want to die quickly, then I will fulfill you. ”
After speaking, Yu Ren said to a pro-soldier behind him, "Light the wolf smoke." ”
The soldier said yes and hurried down to prepare.
Huang Yudie under the city couldn't help laughing when he saw it, "I said Yu Ren, are you kid in a hurry." As far as I know, there is no army in the imperial court in Shandong at the moment, and the defenders of each city are basically only one or two thousand, even if you light the wolf smoke, will they dare to come?
Even if they come, what threat do you think this strength can pose to my besieging army? ”
Yu Ren didn't argue with Huang Yudie again, "Whether what I said is true or not, you can wait and see!" ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for you for another quarter of an hour, and in a quarter of an hour, if your reinforcements haven't arrived, then don't blame me for being rude."
Huang Yudie wanted to show her generosity, but she didn't want to take the risk, which is why she set the time so short.
In her mind, it was impossible for Yu Ren to bring in reinforcements in a quarter of an hour. When the time comes, the defenders of the city will have lost confidence in him, and she will take the opportunity to attack the city.
However, as soon as Huang Yudie's words were finished, she saw the camp behind her, and suddenly there was a commotion.
Seeing this, Huang Yudie's face changed greatly. A colonel rode his horse from the camp to her.
"What's wrong?" Huang Yudie asked urgently.
"Return to the altar master. A group of enemies was spotted breaking into the camp. ”
"How many are there?"
"About twenty people." That little school.
When Huang Yudie heard this, she put down her heart again. She couldn't help but turn around again and laugh at Yu Ren at the head of the city, "Boy, is this what you said about reinforcements?" It's too little! Didn't you say that there were ten thousand? How did it become twenty!
You asked them to collect your body! ”
As soon as Huang Yudie's laughter fell, she saw a team of more than ten people rushing out of her camp.
The first person was Lu Yue, the lord of Mochizuki County, and the two sisters Ruolan Ruomei were followed by her.
Seeing this, Huang Yudie was furious. Turning to the little school, he scolded, "What do you want you to do? With just a few dozen people, can they break through our camp? ”
The little school was scolded by Huang Yudie, and he didn't dare to reply, so he quickly turned the horse's head and patted the horse to meet Lu Yue. Huang Yudie also turned her horse's head to meet Lu Yue and the others. She wanted to stop Lu Yue and them, and she couldn't let them break into the city. Otherwise, she will be too shameless.
Behind Lu Yue and the others, a group of people were chasing closely, led by Yu Yuqian.
Before Huang Yudie could catch up with Lu Yue, the junior colonel who set off before him had been cut off by Lu Yue's sword. Huang Yudie was taken aback, and then she realized that the woman with a baby face in front of her was not easy to mess with.
"Stop them!" Huang Yudie shouted to Yu Yuqian, who had already caught up.
At this time, Lu Yue and the others suddenly slowed down their horses. Yu Yuqian led nearly 100 cavalry and immediately surrounded them layer by layer.
Just when Huang Yudie was puzzled why Lu Yue and the others suddenly took the initiative to stop, there was a commotion in the camp of the Wenxiang Sect again. This time, it's no longer as small as Fang Cai's. It's a global chaos. The camp exploded all at once.
