Chapter 272: The drums of war are raised

Wei Zhonghui saw the unrecognizable plain under the city that had been dug up by the Bingzhou army, and his whole person felt a cool breath coming from the soles of his feet, he suddenly turned around, looked at his son, and ordered, "Quick! Gather the cavalry in the city, let the cavalry out of the city, and disperse these state troops for me! They can't be allowed to dig the trench beneath the city!"

Wei Xing heard Wei Zhonghui's order, and hurriedly saluted and left to pass the order. The city quickly became chaotic, and the cavalry in the camps in the city was quickly assembled.

"Take your weapons, bags of dry food, look at the banners of your respective shes, and line up according to the numbers of each tithe, the order of leaving the city has been told to you in advance, and when the city gates are wide open and the drawbridge falls, you will go out of the city in order!"

On Suzaku Street, the Yu Hou wandered among their respective teams and shouted loudly, telling them about the precautions and arrangements for leaving the city.

"Are you alright?"

A middle-aged cavalryman turned his head to look at the young man beside him and asked in a deep voice.

The young cavalryman was visibly nervous, his grip on the reins was tight, his muscles were already exposed, and his face was pale, and it was clear that the armor on his body did not give him much peace of mind.

The middle-aged cavalry looked at the young cavalry with a disgusted expression, and said with relief: "Relax, don't be so nervous."

The young horseman's lips trembled, and he said intermittently, "Uncle... Uncle and nephew are very shit."

The middle-aged cavalryman smiled and said, "Your uncle and I were more nervous than you when I first went to the battlefield, and I was scared to pee......

As he was talking, he smelled a commotion, he looked at his nephew speechlessly, and said angrily, "Hey, hey, Bai Fir, you won't give your uncle face like this, will you be scared?"

The young man named Bai Fang looked dazed, and he replied, "Well, uncle, it's not me."

The middle-aged cavalry looked around, and then saw that one of the cavalrymen on the side was soaking through his pants, and he swung his whip and whipped the cavalryman, scolding, "Waste! Such a little battle is like water as diapers?!"

The movement here attracted Yu Hou's attention, and he drove his horses over, looked at the middle-aged cavalry and reprimanded, "Bai Miao, what are you doing? You don't know that you are not allowed to make noise in the formation?"

The middle-aged cavalryman named Bai Mo had to stop, he didn't dare to break the military law at such a tense moment, and after glaring at the waste cavalryman angrily, he began to fiddle with his equipment.

At this time, 30,000 cavalry had been gathered on the street, but they could not wait for the order to attack. Because at this moment, on the north gate tower, Jing Yao was confronting Wei Zhonghui.

"General Wei, what is the situation now, how can you mobilize the army without writing to Your Majesty? Especially the elite cavalry in the city!"

Jing Yao's face was angry, there were many troops in the city now, and the establishment was also very messy. He had been sending people to keep an eye on the situation of the various armies in the entire city, and when Wei Zhonghui's order reached the battalions, he received a report from his spies.

When Jing Yao came to Beichengtou, he found that the cavalry had come to Suzaku Street to assemble the cavalry. He hurried to the head of the city and stopped Wei Zhonghui, who was about to give the next order.

Wei Zhonghui's face changed slightly, the most taboo thing for an army is to order multiple doors. At this time, Jing Yao blocked his order, which made him very unhappy.

Wei Zhonghui didn't say much, but pointed to the outside of the city and said, "Brother Jing, don't be so angry first, you can take a look outside the city first."

Hearing this, Jing Yao turned his head to look outside the city, and then was shocked by the scene in front of him. Seeing that at this time, the plains outside the city were like crisscrossing ravines on the high slopes of loess, Jing Yao stared at the outside of the city and asked, "General Wei, is this ...... This ......."

Wei Zhonghui said helplessly: "Brother Jing, this is why I am gathering cavalry, we can't let the Jizhou army dig the trench under the city, if such a situation is formed, then we will be completely trapped in the city."

Jing Yao was speechless, he looked at Wei Zhonghui and said, "What are your chances of winning?"

Wei Zhonghui is really angry, this Jing Yao is also from the military, why do you always ask such childish questions. Looking at the city now, there is nothing buried in this state army

Fu, but with the habit of merging the state army, how could they dig a trench there without warning. Jing Yao asked him what his chances of winning were, why don't you go and ask the Bingzhou army, do you have any ambushes? I'm going out of town, don't you hit me?

Wei Zhonghui replied firmly, "There is no chance of victory in the end, everything is left to the will of heaven. If the movement of the state army is not interrupted, I will never have peace in the future."

Jing Yao was flustered at this time, and he did not pursue Wei Zhonghui's faux pas, but said in a panic: "General Wei, follow the power in a hurry, give an order quickly, and don't let the conspiracy of the rebels succeed."

Wei Zhonghui nodded and quickly gave the order,

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The war drums in the north city tower sounded, and the north gate of the city slowly opened, it was really not that I didn't want to be faster, but this city gate was too heavy, unless it was a Hulk or a Transformer, who could open the city gate quickly.

The waiters shouted loudly, "Queue! Let's go!"

The cavalry at the head drove the horses under him to quickly cross the corridor in the city gate, and the prancing horse went out of the city, and the drawbridge at the city gate was also lowered at this time.

Bai Mo clenched the spear slightly in his hand, and lay down on the horse's back, and the white fir on the side was like this, although he was very nervous, he was able to control his body.

The situation in the city of Xushan soon attracted the attention of the state army.

"————"

Then a sharp wooden whistle sounded.

Li Han, who was working in the earthwork, reflexively stood up straight, not only Li Han, but all the soldiers and soldiers who were wielding shovels and fighting with the dirt stood up almost at the same time, they had been trained for a long time, and their sensitivity to whistles had reached the highest level.

At present, there are three kinds of signals in the state army: one is the whistle, the second is the drum and trumpet, and the third is the flag.

The establishment of Mongolian studies in the army has prompted the officers and men of the Bingzhou army to come out of ignorance and enter a new world, where they have learned Chinese characters, understood the meaning of numbers, and are more able to accept new things.

Any qualified non-commissioned officer in the state army can skillfully grasp and remember the signals in the army, even to the point of conditioned reflex, once there is a whistle or a drum and a flag, they can immediately react subconsciously, which also makes them invincible in the war.

Xi Sheng looked at Li Han and said hatefully: "Lao Tzu knows that the turtles in this city are not honest, Brother Li, go, according to the previous explanation, this turtle has come from afar, why do we have to warmly welcome the enemy army!"

Li Han smiled, he was not unhappy because of Xi Sheng's rudeness, the army was all rough people, and there was no sour and rotten atmosphere of literati and scholars, he nodded and said, "Listen to the voice, this is the North City Gate, but just in case, sons! Copy the guy!"

Generally speaking, the lone army trapped in the city wants to break through the enemy army outside the city, but it is silent, and there can be no sound at all. However, Wei Zhonghui did the opposite, and let his wrestlers beat loud war drums to attract the attention of the Bingzhou army. It's really not that he doesn't care for the soldiers under his command, but to attract the attention of the state army and interrupt their earthwork. At the same time, Wei Zhonghui also wanted to see how the state army reacted in this situation and how it arranged its troops. c

Wei Zhonghui lay on his stomach at the battlement, looking at the Bingzhou army from the top of the city.

Seeing that the reaction of the Bingzhou army was extremely swift, they jumped out of the dug trench, ran to the place where the weapons were placed, and quickly picked up spears and ring-headed swords, some of them also took a shield, and some of the soldiers took up ring-headed swords, longbows, and quivers.

The sergeants and soldiers who had obtained their weapons quickly lined up in a neat and dense phalanx behind the trenches under the command of generals and colonels at all levels.

Ma Yuansi carried a long lance, personally came to the front of the phalanx, looked at the Yongjun cavalry galloping out from the city, and raised the spear in his hand.

"Huh!"

With an angry shout, and the sound of the rubbing of the nail leaves one after another, the phalanx behind Ma Yuansi quickly changed, and the sergeants in the front row of Bingzhou slammed the tall tower shield into the ground and erected the wooden bracket behind the tower shield, while they held their shoulders against the shield.

At the opening of the tower shield, a sharp spear

The blade was revealed, and the spearman behind the shieldman tacitly placed the spear in the gap in the upper edge of the tower's shield. The tail of the spear was stabbed into the ground by the spearmen to hold it in place.

Behind the spearmen was a crossbowman with a crossbow, who drew his armor-piercing arrow and placed it on his bow, but did not open his bow. The crossbowman pulls the string upward, and the vector is pointed slightly diagonally towards the sky.

Wei Zhonghui saw the reaction and formation of the Bingzhou Army, his whole face was black, how did the Bingzhou Army train? React so quickly? From the sound of the drums to the end of their formation, only a quarter of an hour passed. In a quarter of an hour, the cavalry of the Yongjun army, which was only enough to leave the city, walked to a position of two miles.

Jing Yao was even more frightened when he saw the reaction of the Bingzhou army, the Bingzhou army was such a well-trained army, and among the armies he had seen, only Yulin and Tiger Ben could match.

Just when the Bingzhou army was in formation, Bai Mo and his nephew Bai Fang had already left the city gate, crossed the moat, and rushed towards the Bingzhou army formation three miles away.

During the charge, Bai Mo raised his eyes and glanced at the enemy who was about to meet, his brows furrowed unconsciously, and he had a big doubt in his heart: "What about the cavalry of this state army?"

The same doubts also surfaced in the hearts of Wei Zhonghui and Jing Yao.

"Brother Jing, have you seen the cavalry of the Bingzhou Army?"

After Wei Zhonghui searched for nothing to avail, he asked Jing Yao.

"It's strange, this state army is dominated by cavalry, even if this cavalry can't attack the city, but at this time, it's my Dayong cavalry who takes the initiative to attack, they won't not appear."

Jing Yao carefully observed the battlefield, his face full of doubts.

At this moment, the large camp of the Bingzhou Army outside the city sounded the deafening sound of war drums.
