Chapter 30: The Unpredictable Bee Sting Battle
The day dawned, the sky was not clear, and there was no rain, the sky in Guilin was gray, and the soldiers guarding the city on the city wall kept watch all night, and finally waited for the soldiers to change the guard.
The soldiers stood on the city wall, looking around, there was not much difference between the inside and outside of the city, the only difference was that the morning breeze carried a strong smell of blood.
Zhang Yin only arrived in Guilin late last night, and he came late, so he didn't see the excitement of yesterday's borrowed arrows and hidden bullets.
Although he wore a hat and looked like a peasant lord, the city gates were closed, and he slept for several hours in a ruined temple outside the city.
In fact, he could have entered the city invisibly, but he didn't think it was necessary, and it was annoying and a waste of time to leave the city a few hours after entering the city.
As soon as the morning dawned, Zhang Yin came to the outside of the city wall, looking for favorable terrain on the spot, which was not only conducive to commanding the swarm attack, but also not hindering the random arrows shot down by the Yongli army from the city wall.
Zhang Yin chose a command point in each of the four directions of east, west, north and south, and then went to a small mountain fort not far away to catch up on sleep.
Before coming to Guilin, Zhu Cijiao explained to him very clearly that the enemy would not attack the city until noon, but Zhang Yin did not believe that Zhu Cijiao's words would be so spiritual, so he could only wait nearby.
Zhang Yin slept for two hours, and it was almost noon, he got up and looked around, but before the enemy army appeared, he lay down again.
As soon as his head rested on the ground, he felt the ground under his head shaking, and he listened carefully, it was the sound of many people walking hurriedly.
Zhang Yin knew that the enemy was coming, and he could start calling bees, because many poisonous bees had to be passed on to ten, ten, and hundreds, and it would take a certain amount of time to fly from far away.
Only then did he realize that it had been a long time since he had summoned the poisonous bees, and if he could not summon the poisonous bees, the joke would be too big.
Fortunately, Zhang Yin whistled for a while, and the poisonous bees began to fly towards him, so he blew hurriedly, and there were more and more poisonous bees.
At this time, tens of thousands of enemy troops had already poured outside the city gates, and the enemy's attention was on the city walls, not noticing the poisonous bees that were already flying in the air.
Because the noisy sound drowned out Zhang Yin's whistle, the swarm could not hear his command, and the poisonous bees that gathered towards him gradually decreased, and some even flew away.
No, if this continues, before the enemy army has attacked the city, the swarm will scatter, and it will be impossible to attack the enemy.
Fortunately, Zhang Yin had a back hand, he took out a homemade bamboo whistle from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and blew it.
The sound of this bamboo whistle is exactly the same as the whistle that Zhang Yin used to blow out, and the sound is loud and spreads far away.
At this time, the scattered poisonous bees followed the sound again, and quickly gathered around Zhang Yin from all directions, and the sky was black and oppressive.
The officers and soldiers guarding the city on the city wall also saw the swarm of bees gathered, and somebody shouted loudly: "The prince has sent reinforcements!" ”
Everyone shouted loudly: "The prince has sent reinforcements!" The prince sent reinforcements to ......"
The enemy troops under the city wall heard the shouts of the soldiers on the city wall, thinking that reinforcements were really coming, and looked around in panic, but saw no reinforcements, but saw a swarm of bees in the sky.
"Could it be that this swarm is a reinforcement sent by the prince? What's going on? The enemy soldiers chattered and became even more flustered.
"Please calm down, don't be fooled by them, this is just a swarm of bees." Kong Youde, the leader of the enemy army on a tall horse, said loudly.
At this time, many of the enemy soldiers heard a shrill whistle and felt it controlling the swarm of bees in the sky.
What is even stranger is that the whistle is sounded in the east, in the south, and in the west.
Everyone followed the voice, but there was no whistling in sight, only the swarm of bees following the whistle around in the sky, making a buzzing sound.
Before the siege of the city, the enemy soldiers were already in a commotion: "Chief, did you encounter a ghost today?" Someone said loudly.
"Quick, get the whistling out, don't let him deceive people." Kong Youde raised the sword in his hand, eager to kill the whistling man with a sword.
However, the whistle sounded everywhere in the east, west, north and south, and only the sound was heard, but no one could be seen, which made the enemy soldiers panic.
Seeing this, Kong Youde's military heart was shaken by this vision, and he raised his sword and immediately ordered: "Siege the city." ”
Naturally, the enemy soldiers did not dare to disobey the order, and the wooden echelons carried the wooden ladders to the city wall, and the enemy began to ascend the city.
The officers and soldiers guarding the city on the city wall began to panic: "Why didn't the prince let the poisonous bees attack?" ”
At this moment, three "Kill!" sounded in the air. Kill! Kill! The swarm of bees immediately flew towards the enemy's head, and the enemy who had just climbed the wooden ladder was stung by the bees and fell directly from the wooden ladder.
Suddenly, the enemy army was in a panic, and after being stung by bees one by one, they fell to the ground with their heads in their hands, rolled around and struggled a few times before they died.
Standing on the city wall and commanding, Qu Shiyun saw that the enemy was only holding his head to avoid the bee sting, so he gave the archers on the city wall: "Aim at the enemy and shoot arrows." Shoot on point, don't waste your arrows. ”
Suddenly, thousands of archers on the city wall drew their bows one after another, and the dense arrows shot at the enemy, and the enemy was killed and wounded.
Seeing the heavy casualties, Kong Youde had to order a retreat, and a group of remnants of the defeated army fled.
The enemy suffered heavy casualties, the prince's "death squad" also suffered heavy deaths, and dead poisonous bees were everywhere outside the city walls. Seeing this, Zhang Yin knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
The officers and soldiers guarding the city on the city wall, watching the enemy flee in disarray, shouted to the sky: "The prince is wise! The prince is mighty! ”
The shouts came one after another, from the city walls into the distance, and they hoped that the prince in the distance would hear them.
……
At this time, Zhu Cijiao, who was deep in the mountains, sat on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, thinking of his "death squad" heroic dedication, he folded his hands and mourned deeply, they used their lives to protect his father and emperor.
At night, Zhu Cirong was in a very heavy mood, he saw Zhu Youlang in a dream, and it can be seen that Zhu Youlang was still excited.
"Ci Yao, your bee sting battle is too powerful, stinging countless enemies, can you let the bee swarm fight again tomorrow?"
Zhu Youlang fully affirmed Zhu Cijiao's tactics, and at the same time raised a difficult problem for Zhu Cijiao.
"Back to my father, those poisonous bees are the death squads of the sons, stinging so many enemies, that is the death squad for one life, and the poisonous bees are also lives!" Zhu Cijiao said as tears fell.
"For this battle, the poisonous bees within a radius of hundreds of miles have been called, and if they are allowed to fight, then the poisonous bees will be exterminated, and they will not be able to fight anymore." Zhu Cijiao continued.
"Well, I respect the Prince's opinion, and I am glad that the Crown Prince can have such mercy." Zhu Youlang felt that Zhu Cijiao was reasonable, and granted his request not to fight again.
"Father, every poisonous bee killed in battle, just like every one of our soldiers, the son has a request, I implore my father to send some people to collect the poisonous bees killed in battle tomorrow morning and bury them, is it okay?"
"Ci Yao, your request, my father has granted it, and I will arrange it tomorrow morning."
Zhu Ci knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhu Youlang: "Thank you for the emperor's permission, long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”
