Chapter 139: Waiting for the Great Victory
The rebels in the rear were depressed, but the battle situation on the front line was extremely anxious.
Above Yecheng, the defenders kept throwing bombs down the city.
Although it can temporarily push back the rebels, and even destroy many ladders.
But the bomb consumption rate is also extremely fast, but in just one hour, the inventory in Yecheng is only less than half.
"Damn, don't these guys really know what fear is?"
Listening to the reports from his subordinates, He Qing and Yecheng Taishou's faces were extremely ugly.
Fifteen hundred cans of bombs! That's the last two days of trapped existence in the capital.
It was less than an hour before it was consumed. If the rebels' siege momentum is still unabated, I am afraid that the remaining 1,500 cans will only delay the breakthrough of Yecheng City for an hour.
"I hope Your Majesty, you have received a message that reinforcements are on the way."
He Qing could only comfort Yecheng Taishou like this.
"What's that?"
When the two of them were stunned, they saw rows of troops shining red in the dusk that was about to fall, and they were rapidly approaching the city wall.
"Sword and Shield Battalion! The rebels are going to pay blood! ”
Looking at this force, the Yecheng defenders quickly found a description of this force in their minds.
"Sword and Shield Battalion? What is that? ”
He Qing was full of doubts, he was not a qualified general, and even if he went to Yecheng to serve, he was half-forced and half-forced by Xu Jing to take office.
"What else could it be? This is the bottom of the box treasure of King Langya. In the past, the emperor's smooth accession to the throne was inevitably due to the role of such an army. ”
"King Langya is closer to this army than his own son."
"This unit has never been allowed to enter the battle as a vanguard, and it is often only sent when the enemy's city is broken and needs to be harvested quickly."
"Unexpectedly, this meeting is so ruthless, sending it out at this moment."
Ye Cheng Taishou's face was extremely ugly, and he explained patiently.
After hearing this, He Qing's face was also difficult to see.
The appearance of such an ace force means that the rebels are about to end the battle quickly.
"It doesn't matter, if you can hold on this time. Maybe it can really hit the rebels and buy some time for reinforcements to arrive. ”
Ye Cheng Taishou could only breathe a sigh of relief and comfort He Qing.
"I hope so, with the energy of the soldiers at the head of the city, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist for too long."
He Qing didn't hold out much hope, and prayed silently in his heart.
On the other side, the carrier pigeon that had already flown out finally arrived at the headquarters of Jinyiwei.
"What? You're here waiting. ”
Gonggong Cao received a message from Jinyiwei, his face changed greatly, and he quickly walked into the Xi Zheng Palace.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong!"
Gonggong Cao shouted loudly.
Xu Jing put down his pen and looked at Gonggong Cao with a frown: "What's wrong?" ”
"Accompany the capital to send 100,000 troops to attack Yecheng, and now Yecheng is in a critical situation!"
Gonggong Cao didn't even have time to breathe, and said quickly.
"Do you know who the front-line soldiers are?"
Xu Jing was not surprised to hear the news.
If Xiao Daoling really has a connection with the companion, the battle of Yecheng will start sooner or later.
It's just that Xu Jing didn't expect it to come so quickly.
"I don't know, I just know that the troops sent by the rebels are all elite, if there are no reinforcements, Yecheng is in danger!"
Gonggong Cao shook his head and told the situation in 1510.
"Life is always good."
Xu Jing stood up and paced for a while, then said openly to Cao Gong.
Gonggong Cao immediately arranged for someone to go and invite You Xian.
An hour later, You Xian's dusty servants appeared in the Xi Zheng Palace: "Your Majesty, the last general You Xian asks to see you!" ”
"Come in."
Xu Jing motioned for You Xian to enter the Xi Zheng Palace.
"Sit."
Xu Jing motioned for You Xian to sit down and speak.
"No, the last will stand."
You Xian had already learned some information on the road, and stood in front of Xu Jing with a radiant look at the moment.
Just wait for Xu Jing to send a mission to him.
"I ask you, how many fast horse cavalry are there in the Crow Army?"
Xu Jing didn't force You Xian, just nodded slightly and started talking about business.
"There are 30,000 cavalry, and if you go into battle lightly, you can travel 100 miles a day."
You Xian knew his subordinates very well, and did not hesitate to say the specific number.
"Okay, I want you to immediately lead 30,000 cavalry to abandon all the baggage and rush to the Acropolis, can you do it?"
Xu Jing nodded, stared at You Xian and asked.
"Your Majesty, isn't it time to solve the danger of Yecheng now? Why head to the Acropolis? ”
You Xian, who had been preparing to go to Yecheng to pledge his allegiance, was extremely stunned when he heard the order.
You must know that now Yecheng is likely to be unable to support even three days, and it is in urgent need of reinforcements.
"What if you send troops to Yecheng? After all, the exhausted division was defeated by the elite troops who were waiting for their work. ”
"I'm going to attack the rear and force the rebels to retreat! You can only attack and harass the defenders of the Acropolis, and you don't have to fight to the death. ”
"Once the army on the front line of Yecheng has the intention of retreating, immediately lead the army to flee."
Xu Jing said his thoughts one by one.
You Xian nodded in understanding, but Sadhana betrayed his confidence in attacking the Acropolis.
Although the Acropolis is not as strong as Yecheng, it is still one of the fortified cities that Daqian used to defend against countless enemies.
With only 30,000 lightly armed cavalry, it is almost a fool's dream to force back the front-line army.
It's just these, how dare You Xian say it in front of Xu Jing.
"What? But do you think my decision is too child's play? The bomb is a thing, and General You must have heard of it. ”
Xu Jing smiled and looked at You Xian, who was full of sorrow, and asked.
When You Xian heard the word bomb, his eyes were suddenly full of light, and he nodded again and again: "Naturally!" The name of this thing has spread all over the Crow Army in recent days. ”
"It's a pity that there are not many of these things, and there are very few people in the forbidden army who can see them."
Xu Jing laughed and said, "What if 30,000 cavalrymen are all holding this thing? ”
You Xian suddenly came to his senses and said: "If there are 30,000 cans of this thing, there is no need for 30,000 cavalry, even 10,000 is enough to force the rebels back!" ”
It is rumored that the bomb can scatter more than ten pieces of broken porcelain comparable to the martial arts master in an instant of explosion, and the lethality is extremely terrifying.
You Xian didn't dare to imagine what a spectacular scene it would be for 30,000 bombs to explode at the same time.
"The explosives are defective, and they are nowhere near as powerful as real bombs. At best, it can only be compared to a seven-rank martial artist. ”
Hearing what Xu Jing said, You Xian was quite disappointed.
Xu Jing continued: "However, the number is indeed quite a lot, more than 30,000. If you can use it all at once, the effect may be good. ”
"Enough is enough, that's enough."
You Xian nodded again and again when he heard the number of 30,000, and was extremely happy.
Even if it is just a defective product, it shows that Xu Jing has begun to regard the Crow Army as his subordinates.
If you get some merits in this battle, the Crow Army will definitely be favored by the new emperor!
In the future, the Crow Army at least does not have to worry about the salary and rations not being issued in time.
"Take my decree to the forbidden army camp and get it."
Xu Jing nodded and handed the holy decree that had been prepared to You Xian.
"Your Majesty is just waiting for good news."
You Xian took the holy decree and said excitedly.
