Chapter 372: Departure to Tonga 5
With one person per household and an army of 300,000 people, there are simply no resources to support such a huge army.
The improvised militia waited in long lines along the streets, and groups of soldiers brought the recruited militia to various camps in the city.
The army in the city of Tonga was still knocking on the doors of each house to arrest the militia, and the complaints and cries of the inhabitants grew louder and louder, and the city began to be unstable.
In the city lord's mansion, Ruan Yuting knew that the residents in the city were mourning and worried about the riot, so he found Lin Shuang overnight.
"The recruitment rate of one person in this household is too high, do the residents have a big opinion?"
Lin Shuanggang patrolled the streets and saw growing clashes between residents and the military.
"City Lord, your riot strategy is the only way to save the city, don't care about the opinions of the residents, it's a big deal or the city is broken."
If there are 300,000 troops, although they are all militia, their combat strength is not good, and they can't afford to raise so many soldiers, but it should be fine to hold out for a few days, and they will be disbanded after defeating Murong Yi.
However, this recruitment rate is too high, and if the inhabitants revolt, it will hasten their demise.
"No, you immediately change one person from one household to one person from ten households, and someone from the original household can be exempted from joining the army."
When Lin Shuang heard this, he hurriedly said: "That's only 30,000 people, and it's still a militia, plus our original army, we can't resist Murong Yi's army." ”
"Can the inhabitants resist the rebellion?" Ruan Yuting asked rhetorically.
Lin Shuang was speechless, and Ruan Yuting said again: "There are 30,000 militiamen, and they can hold on for a while." ”
"Okay, I'll do it." Lin Shuang turned around and went out.
Outside the city, Murong Yi had already sent troops to surround Tongjia City.
Standing on the tower of the city and looking down, it was densely packed with people, and the passages had been sealed.
Murong Yi stood at the foot of the city and shouted to the city tower: "I have surrounded the city, surrender quickly, and let you live." ”
The newly recruited militia in the city has been sent to the gates to defend the city with the soldiers.
On the tower of the city, Lin Shuang saw Murong Yi's army, and he didn't dare to go out of the city to fight, and shouted: "I still advise you to withdraw your troops quickly, don't waste your troops and resources, lest you die in the end and don't know how to die." ”
The corners of Murong Yi's mouth moved slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile, and slowly walked forward.
Lin Shuang watched in surprise as Murong Yi walked forward alone, and when he reached a distance of about one hundred and fifty meters, Lin Shuang couldn't help but shout: "Stop, if you go any further, you will release the arrow." ”
At this distance, it is difficult for high-level archers to attack, and even if they do, their combat power is weakened a lot, and they are almost lethal.
Murong Yi's combat power is super high, Lin Shuang is a little worried, but at such a long distance, it should be fine. Lin Shuang thought in his heart, and immediately asked all the archers to draw their bowstrings and prepare to attack.
Murong Yi under the city tower looked up at the archers who were full of bowstrings towards him, his eyes stopped on Lin Shuang, and the soles of his feet stepped on the ground, and the whole person flew into the air.
Lin Shuang was shocked, knowing that it was not good, and immediately shouted: "Attack, release the arrow, shoot him down." ”
Before Lin Shuang's voice fell, Murong Yi's arrow was already on the Broken Bow, and before he could see his fingers loose, he saw an arrow fly out of the string, slashing through the air, and shooting towards Lin Shuang with a strong air current.
The arrows on the city tower "swished" at Murong Yi under Lin Shuang's order.
Murong Yi didn't pay attention to the flying arrows at all, and after an arrow was fired, he quickly pulled out the arrow and shot an arrow.
The arrow followed the trajectory of the arrow in front of it, passed through the flying arrow, and shot at Lin Shuang.
Seeing Murong Yi's arrows flying from above the parapet wall, Lin Shuang was shocked, he didn't expect that such a long distance could have such a powerful power, and hurriedly waved the silver knife to resist.
The energetic arrow slammed into Lin Shuang's silver knife. Lin Shuang couldn't resist it, and was repelled a few steps by Murong Yi's arrows.
Lin Shuang's figure had not yet stood firm, only to see a flash in front of him, knowing that another arrow was coming, and hurriedly resisted with a knife. I saw an arrow pass through the side of the silver knife and shoot into Lin Shuang's chest.
Seeing Lin Shuang's arrow, the nearby soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and held Lin Shuang's body.
Lin Shuang's body was surging with qi and blood, constantly coming out of his mouth, and he moved vigorously with his mouth open, but he didn't catch it in one breath, his whole body softened and fell down.
"Flag Commander, Flag Commander......" shouted the surrounding soldiers.
Some of the newly joined militia members panicked when they saw Lin Shuang dead.
Murong Yi saw the turmoil on the city tower and said, "Who is going to attack the city gate?" ”
"I'll go." Sima Hongyi shouted.
Feng Ziying next to him said: "Flag Commander, since Battalion Commander Sima is attacking the city, then I will lead the army to suppress the formation." ”
"Okay." After Murong Yi agreed, he shouted loudly: "Siege." ”
After giving the order, Sima Hong raised his silver knife and shouted, "Rush with me." The first one ran out, and with two battalions of troops behind him, he slaughtered the city gates.
Watching Sima Hong go out, Murong Yi shouted: "All the archers, follow me to attack the city tower." ”
Thousands of archers followed Murong Yi and rushed forward. Wave after wave of arrows flew over Sima Hongyi's army and shot into the tower.
The archers on the city tower wanted to attack Sima Hong's army under the city, watching the arrows flying continuously, they all attacked Murong Yi's archers, and they couldn't take care of Sima Hong's army under the city.
Sima Hongyi led the army and easily rushed to the city gate, and after hitting the city gate several times in a row, the city gate was breached.
"Kill." Sima Hongyi was the first to rush into the city gate, and with a swing of the silver knife, he cut down a soldier guarding the entrance of the city gate, and the army behind him entered with Sima Hongyi and fought with Ruan Yuting's army in the city gate cave.
Ma Qiu was mobilizing troops in the city, and was shocked when he heard that Lin Shuang had died in battle and that the city gate had been breached: "I can't hold it so soon." ”
"Oh no, battalion commander." A soldier ran over in a panic and shouted: "The newly recruited militia in front was about to escape, but was stopped by our soldiers, and the two sides had an argument and a fight. ”
When Ma Qiu heard this, he knew that he couldn't beat him, so he hurriedly ran back to the City Lord's Mansion.
"City Lord, the city can't be defended, what should I do?" Ma Qiu said in a panic.
I didn't expect to lose so quickly, Ruan Yuting sat in the office and was silent for a long time before saying: "The general trend is the same, there is no power to return to the sky, Ma Qiu, give up resistance." ”
Ma Qiu asked unwillingly: "Then our city is gone?" ”
"What else, fortunately, Luo Feng is not a person who is easy to kill, we surrender, at least we can save our lives."
Ma Qiu was speechless and stood beside him. Ruan Yuting immediately prepared a letter of surrender and ordered someone to send it out.
Outside the city, Feng Ziying saw Sima Hongyi break through the city and lead the army into the city.
There was a panic in the city, Ruan Yuting's army fled in all directions, Feng Ziying led the army to chase for a while, and encountered an army coming out from the direction of the city lord's mansion.
The battalion commander at the head shouted: "Stop fighting, we surrender, this is a surrender." ”
Feng Ziying ordered someone to come forward and take the surrender letter, and after reading it, he said to the soldiers beside him: "Give this to Murong Banner Commander." ”
"Yes." The soldier took the surrender and ran back.
