Chapter 239 Accident

Si Dingzhou sent the messenger away, and sent someone to deliver a letter to the king of luxury, and he was stunned by the brazier again. At first glance, the current battle situation seems to be going well: the lord of Luo Zhai abandoned Chishui, the king of luxury successfully recovered his hometown, although Elder An lost the old village of Zhijin, but the heavy troops went to fight Yachi It seems that the chances of winning are not small, and the spies on the north bank have not yet found that the Ming army crossed the river, that is to say, the most powerful Han general Sun Jiexian is still on the south bank of the Xiangshui River, and he should be clearing the remnants of the various hills around Zhijin one by one, or he will go to fight Rouyuan, and then march north from the east bank of the Sancha River to support Yachi...... Well, that's more likely. However, it will take too long to do this, and Rouyuan is also a strong stronghold, how can it take ten days and half a month to march with the siege belt along the way, and the duck pond should have been lost by then, right? The Burning Fort side is still calm, and the security position is still out of the way......

However, the more he pondered the old man's heart, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Si Dingzhou has hardly fought any battles in his life, and his military experience is not worse than that of Xuan Chongming, more than a hundred years, and the sphere of influence of Jinshazhai is a few surrounding mountains, unlike the Shuixian family, which has to manage dozens or hundreds of tribes, and of course it is far inferior to Elder An in terms of scheming and contingency. However, Si Dingzhou had lived long enough and had a wealth of experience and experience, and his intuition told him that things might not be so simple. From the very beginning, the situation was at odds with the huge plan planned in advance, and every move of the two kings was a temporary move...... This doesn't bode well - since it's completely out of line with the plan here, it'...... Could it be that they have a plan in place and that every step of the way is in their calculations?

Thinking of this, the old man's mind "boomed", and everything suddenly became clear: Sun Jie, who destroyed the old village of Zhijin, didn't know what the hell was doing in Dingzhou, but Luo Ganxiang's seemingly abandoning the city for no reason explained everything!

Sighing, the old man stood up, patted the soil on his buttocks, and made a decision in his heart: It seems that this time, the two King of Luxury and Elder An are afraid that they will be more auspicious. In all fairness, the An family has no kindness to Jinshazhai, but there is still some hatred, and the welcome to the luxury family in Linzhou is just to survive. For the sake of the people of Jinsha, they must choose sides carefully, and they can't let all the clansmen suffer the impending catastrophe with them. However, the nine seedlings are of the same origin, if you can do it, you can help a little.

Shortly after the attack on Kamoike, Ahn discovered the problem.

At the beginning, the battle went very smoothly, and it was completely unexpected: seeing the horse team that Shuixi was the first to attack, the defenders on the west bank of the Yachi River scattered in a hurry, rushing back to the city, and they didn't even bother to burn the pontoon bridge! The horse team composed of the elite of the leader crossed the bridge, and the city did not launch a counterattack, but closed the city gates, and as soon as the defenders poked at the wall, they watched less than four hundred unarmored cavalry sway under their noses, and there was no more movement except for shooting down a few rounds of arrows.

When the main force that ran out of breath drove up, An Bangyan still hung a heart: everyone's physical strength is too large, if Hangou Liu Chao understands at this time and launches a head-on blow, the losses of the Shuixi Army will not be too small, and the pontoon bridge may still be destroyed! However, the man was held back by something, and it was not until the army was almost fully deployed to the north and south that he saw Simon raise his lieutenant's commanding flag.

What happened next was even more surprising to Elder An's unbelievable surprise. In the fertile delta area where the Liuchong River and the Yachi River meet, the ripe rice is endless, and the yellow rice and sorghum in the south and north of the city are also not burned by the defenders! It's a miracle. Because the original plan was to set up an ambush for Sun Jie, and the grain and grass carried by the army were limited, An Bangyan thought that he would wait for Sun Bu to go to the army, and then Zhijin Laozhai would deliver a steady stream of logistics materials; Unexpectedly, Sun Jie's soldiers directly took Lao Zhai with strange moves, and the army's grain became the most serious problem - this is also one of the important reasons why Elder An decided to attack Yachi: the materials in the city are an indispensable guarantee to maintain the movement of the army.

The overjoyed An Bangyan categorically ordered: suspend the attack on Yachi, leave only a sufficient number of vigilant troops in each gate, and all the other personnel go to harvest crops, and at the same time ask An Xiaoliang to lead the main force of Wusa to attack Lu Guang - the blocking is still second, judging from the current situation, for some reason, Liu Chao is obviously unprepared for the sudden appearance of his army, and he has to go there to see if he can also get such a big bargain!

Sure enough, the next day, An Xiaoliang's flying messenger brought back the same exciting news: Lu Guang and Yachi were exactly the same, seeing the Shuixi brigade, all the defenders retreated back to the city, and threw all the crops on the outskirts of the city to the army! Lu Guangcheng is not big, and if he attacks strongly, 10,000 people are enough, but An Xiaoliang now has to block the four gates, and he has to allocate manpower to grab the crops, and the troops are stretched, so the messenger asks Elder An to send some people up to help as soon as possible.

Sun Jie is a famous general, in order to ensure victory, An Bangyan brought out an army of nearly 40,000 people, and the number of troops is already very large, but at this time, he feels that the people he brings are still not enough - the area of crops here in Yachi is nearly twice as large as that of Lu, and it also needs to be harvested as soon as possible! However, after much deliberation, 5,000 men were drawn north, so that the time to launch a full-scale attack would be delayed for a few more days.

An Xiaoliang, who is brave but not very good at braining, does not have the patience of An Bangyan. Just after recovering a piece of land near the Luguang River beach and releasing more than 2,000 people, and was about to send them to the east of the city, An Xiaoliang rarely moved his brain: there are only more than 1,000 vigilant troops on the east gate, and the Han dogs on the wall must be able to see it clearly! So why didn't they launch a counterattack? Even if you just drive everyone away for a short while, it's enough to set off a fire and burn the fields! Well, apparently they don't have enough troops! This truth is as clear as having a father first and then having a child. Since they don't have enough troops, it's too much to say that we don't fight it! In An Xiaoliang's mind, a moving scene had already emerged in which Elder An patted his shoulder and praised himself for being smart and brave after harvesting the crops and capturing Lu Guang.

So he personally took more than 1,000 of Usa's descendants, together with more than 2,000 people, and ran to the east of the city, and without cutting the crops, he directly launched an attack on the eastern wall.

And then...... was beaten by the defenders.

Since Wang Ershan's defeat, Liu Chao has been along the river (Sancha River, Yachi River, Luguang River...... No matter what the name is, it's the same thing anyway) arming, and the two sides of the Shuixi Army have been fighting back and forth in Pudingwei, Rouyuansuo, and even Yachi and other places, and it can be said that they are already very familiar with each other. But just after the fight this time, An Xiaoliang was surprised to find that his opponent was not the familiar Hechi soldier in the past!

In An Xiaoliang's memory, unlike Zhang Fang's Zunyi soldiers and Xie Zhongren's bronze drum soldiers, these Guangxi Hechi soldiers still dare to fight. Of course, the so-called dare to fight is only relative - every time they fight, they will not scatter like other useless guys, but they rely on bows and armor, and they are also very lively with arrows from afar, and sometimes they will put a few cannons. The Miao warriors did not have iron armor, and they had bamboo bows with limited range, so they often suffered losses in long-range battles. However, if it is purely about combat strength and will to fight, these guys are definitely far inferior to their own Usa warriors.

Only a thousand people were deployed in the east of the city did not dare to open the door to counterattack, An Xiaoliang estimated that there were only 3,000 soldiers in the city at most: three or four hundred people were left on guard on each wall, and the remaining troops could not even guarantee a two-to-one advantage, so they didn't dare to open the door to fight! This kind of military secret, in the blink of an eye, was guessed by the clever Leader An! Well, each wall is evenly divided that is less than a thousand defenders! Under normal circumstances, the ratio of forces between the offensive and defensive sides reaches three to one, and this siege battle can be fought one by one, and it is now an absolute advantage of five to one, so An Xiaoliang launched an attack with confidence - and did not forget to instruct his subordinates to keep an eye on several leaders of the other gates: wait for the next fight, the defenders will draw troops from each wall to the east, everyone should pay attention at any time, if the Han dogs in front of them are insufficient, they must seize the opportunity to immediately launch a coordinated attack, well, the crops are harvested a day or two later.

Unexpectedly, when the warriors of Usa drove to a hundred and fifty paces from the city, there was still no movement on the wall. An Xiaoliang felt that something was wrong: in the past, the rain of arrows poured by the river pool guys should have been sprinkled a long time ago! But it's too late to say anything at this time, so let's rush hard......

Luguang is a small city with a wall just over a zhang high. More than 5,000 people rushed towards the east wall, which was only six or seven hundred paces wide, and the scene was shocking. When everyone ran sixty or seventy steps away from the wall, and the archers had just stopped half-crouching, ready to make a suppressive shot at the wall, a bang sounded, and hundreds of iron helmets suddenly appeared from the wall, and in the blink of an eye, a rain of fire shot in!

"Rocket!" An Xiaoliang yelled - how could the Han dogs think of using rockets today? The bamboo armor soldiers were fine, but the warriors who tied the rattan armor were miserable, and in just a few moments, hundreds of burning people appeared in the attacking team, screaming and ramming aimlessly! The surrounding people dodged in all directions, and after three rounds of rapid fire, the entire attack formation was completely disorganized, every leader could not find his subordinates, and every soldier lost his command.

An Xiaoliang, who was not far from the battle line, watched in amazement as the archers on the wall disdained the scattered bamboo arrows flying from below, except for aiming at a few Miao soldiers who had not yet had time to take off their rattan armor, most of them began to shoot in groups of three or five at the warriors carrying the ladder. In An Xiaoliang's sight, the ladders were thrown to the ground one after another, and the people who ran under the wall were all leaning against the wall and gasping violently - although it was only more than a zhang high, without a ladder, they could only watch with their eyes and couldn't climb up!

"Take the ladder!" An Xiaoliang shouted angrily as he tore through his throat. However, the Miao soldiers did not have the golden drum banner like the Ming army to transmit orders over long distances, so they could only rely on the two legs and throats of the heralds. More than a dozen heralds scattered towards the various sections of the wall, but before they reached the wall, from a distance, An Xiaoliang saw a pile of dense small objects thrown down from the wall, and immediately, the explosion of "boom" and "boom" was endless, and a continuous howl suddenly sounded under the wall.

Fry-cans!

An Xiaoliang had heard of this kind of thing from Yu Chongming before, and this was the first time he had seen it.

"The defenders of the city are all warriors who have passed through the battle formation, seen blood, and killed people, and are by no means those Hechi soldiers!" An Xiaoliang finally understood his opponent.

"Retreat! Fall back! "The long horn sounded, and the attacking crowd rushed back when they heard the sound, leaving a place of dead and wounded under the east wall.

"You are the first to die, Lao Tzu hasn't killed him yet, what is the turtle son running......" Lao Shun stroked the wall and yelled at the rout soldiers below, then turned his head and laughed loudly: "The babies want it, I don't embarrass Lao Tzu!" Kill a few pigs at night to eat! ”

"Gotta get it!"

"Comfort!"

"It's very refreshing!"

On the east wall, a Sichuan sound cheer suddenly broke out in the sky.
