Chapter 218: There's a Kind of Siege!
In the evening, the guards guarding the gate tower of Hengcheng saw a Song army wearing bright light armor rushing to the city.
At the same time, the other sentries on the city wall immediately reported the situation to the captain of the city gate.
"Watch them well and prepare for defense."
"Nail them to the wall, and don't leave without permission."
"I'll report to the young master."
After admonishing the soldiers under his command, the captain of the city gate hurriedly ran to the inner city.
At this time, his liver trembled.
You must know that there are 20,000 people in Hengcheng, and this time Meng Chao took 10,000.
Of the remaining 10,000 people, more than half of them joined the camp with a bluff and ate and drank.
After all, in troubled times, who doesn't have a survival manual?
Therefore, there are only four or five thousand people who can really fight.
However, this ability to fight is built against unarmed ordinary people.
Now the Song army outside the city is well-equipped, and they are all cavalry.
The captain of the city gate naturally knew that the defenders in the city were not the enemy of others.
"Young master, young master......"
The lieutenant recklessly broke into the lobby.
At this moment, Meng Chen was toasting Xiao Gwen.
When he heard the information from the captain, his whole person went numb on the spot.
"You...... Can you see clearly? Are you sure it's Song Jun? ”
"I see it clearly."
"How many troops do they have?"
"At least three thousand, less than five thousand. The first one was wearing bright light armor, and the others were fish-scale chain mail, all equipped with cavalry. ”
Hearing this, Meng Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, there are tens of thousands of warriors in my city!" Besides, we are the defenders of the city, and if we close the city gates and actively defend them, we will have a great advantage, and they will not be able to defeat them. ”
"When the time comes, my father-in-law will lead the army back and directly swallow that cavalry."
Meng Chen can follow Meng Chao to occupy the throne, and he also has his own advantages.
There is nothing wrong with his tactics.
But he didn't expect that the enemy had already been mixed in within.
At this time, Wang Gui, who was sitting next to Xiao Gwen, gave Xiao Gwen a look.
Xiao Gwen suddenly got up, pretending to be angry and said: "If the Song army dares to attack the city, then the cavalry I sent out before will definitely be taken by them." ”
"It has to be." Anger appeared on Meng Chen's face.
Xiao Gwen said, "This commander has to go and see." ”
Meng Chen immediately said: "Commander Xiao, don't rashly go out of the city to take revenge, although the Song army is cowardly, but if you open the city rashly, the outcome is really unpredictable." ”
Xiao Gwen said angrily: "The warriors of the Jin Kingdom under the command of this commander are still uncertain about their life and death outside the city, and this commander wants to go to the city wall to have a look!" ”
"Yes, Fauber." Meng Chen depressedly summoned the housekeeper to come to the house.
"Young Master."
"You accompany Commander Xiao to take a look, and if Commander Xiao's generals are still alive, let them go and take them into the city."
Meng Chen got off the donkey down the slope, which can be regarded as giving Xiao Gwen a favor.
At this moment, Meng Chen would never have imagined that Xiao Gwen would open the city gate.
Because in his opinion, although the Jin army fought bravely, they had no holes in their brains.
As for the more than 200 people that Xiao Gwen has brought so far, he rushed out of the city to send warmth to the Song army.
Besides, there is still light snow outside, so just defend the city and let your subordinates do it.
Isn't it good to hide in the house and drink hot wine and watch my sister dance?
However, Xiao Gwen said, "Young Master Meng, don't you go with this commander?" ”
"Me? What am I going to do? ”
"Hmph, don't go."
Shaw Gwen gave him a blank look.
Meng Chen suddenly felt that he was looked down upon.
Immediately said: "Let's go over there, the Song army dares to attack the city, and Ben Shao just commanded the warriors to overthrow them." ”
As soon as Erba's temper came up, Meng Chen hurried towards the outside of the city.
Looking at that posture, people who don't know the situation still think that he wants to lead the army out of the city to fight.
A moment later, the crowd appeared on the city wall.
Meng Chen peeked out of the battlements of the city wall and looked down condescendingly at the Song army outside the city.
Military power is indeed daunting.
And Meng Chen is also sure that if it is a field battle in Kaesong.
The 10,000 'warriors' inside the city were no match for the three or four thousand cavalry outside the city.
However, here's the problem.
Meng Chen found that the cavalry outside the city did not carry even a single siege weapon.
Then there is no fear at all.
Although Hengcheng is small, the city wall is also nine meters high.
Because of this, Meng Chao chose this place to stand on his own.
It's just an easy to defend and difficult to attack.
With a faint glance sweeping away, Meng Chen couldn't help but smile and said, "Which young general is in the city?" Get your name in! ”
Yue Fei raised his head and smiled: "This general is the hussar general of the imperial court, and Yue Fei, the commander of the capital under the command of the sect marshal. ”
"Now I order you to open the city gate quickly and tie yourself, otherwise when the city will be broken, I will not spare your life!"
When Meng Chen heard this, he was indeed a general of the Song Dynasty.
If only it had been half a month ago.
Meng Chen was naturally upset when he saw the imperial army.
Because at that time he was a rebel.
But now, not only was he not afraid, but he also seemed a little excited.
Now the Meng father and son are already nominally vassals of the Jin Army.
And there is also Xiao Gwen, who is trusted by Wanyan Zongfu, in the city, of course, he is not afraid at all.
So, Meng Chen put his hands behind his back and sneered drunkenly: "Yue Fei? It's just a rat, I haven't heard of it, master. ”
"I miss you being young and vigorous, and your mouth is open, so the master will not punish you."
"If you know each other, take people out immediately, otherwise the tens of thousands of warriors under the command of the young master will pour out, and you will regret it!"
Speaking of this, Meng Chen said to Xiao Gwen with a flattering face: "Commander Xiao, you should rest assured now, it is difficult for thousands of people under the city to break through the city, and besides, the commander of the army is also unknown. Later, I will send my sentries out of the city to visit your cavalry. ”
"yes, okay."
Xiao Gwen bowed his head on the surface, but he panicked in his heart.
Because of this script, he had rehearsed it in Yue Fei's tent in advance.
Next, he was really afraid that when Song Jun clicked Meng Chen, he would then click himself.
At this moment, Wang Gui, who was guarding Xiao Gwen's left, pulled out the saber at his waist with a bang.
This sudden move made Meng Chen's eyes blink wildly!
In the next second, the fast knife was already on Meng Chen's shoulder.
"Commander Xiao, what are you doing here?" Meng Chen looked at Wang Gui in surprise, and finally cast an inquiring look at Xiao Gwen.
At this time, he couldn't figure out what the Jin people would target him?
What's going on?
Lao Tzu eats and drinks well to lift you up, and you still hold a knife on my neck?
Taking advantage of Meng Chen's confusion, Wang Gui took off the Jin Army's military felt hat and said in pure Chinese: "You miscellaneous pieces, can't you hear the orders of the cavalry general?" Why don't you open the door to welcome the heavenly army of the imperial court?! ”
"You? This...... Mistaken, right? Let me slow down......"
Speaking of this, Meng Chen felt a trace of blood spilling from his neck.
Wang Gui shouted: "Ink again, kill you!" ”
