Chapter 53: Storming the Wall
"His Royal Highness!"
The sound of the Iron Bull rang out outside the door.
Ye Yu and Wang Xianzhi looked at each other and smiled, this guy is now stable, but he is a lot more aggressive.
Zhou was originally busy in the kitchen, but when he heard the sound, he also walked out of the yard, and he didn't think much about it and opened the door directly to Tie Niu.
Tie Niu saw that it was Zhou who opened the door, and scratched his head, "Hello sister-in-law, the prince and my brother asked me to come here for a meal." ”
Zhou had a smile on his face, "Come in, come in, His Royal Highness the Prince is in the hall." ”
The Iron Bull answered, and ran towards the hall.
"Tie Niu, I thought you wouldn't come until dinner." Ye Yu looked at Tie Niu and said with a smile.
Tie Niu put the two axes in his hand at the door, and then he clasped his fists with both hands and bowed respectfully to Ye Yu, "Tie Niu has seen the son of the world." ”
"Don't be polite, this is in private, and being polite is a bit restrictive." Ye Yu waved his hand.
Tie Niu smiled and sat in the position that had been prepared for him a long time ago, "Shizi, I have already checked the city defense on the city wall, and there is no big problem, so I came here in advance." ”
Wang Xianzhi said with a smile on his face, "The Jia Dynasty army outside the city has not been fully assembled yet, and it will probably not attack the city in the next two days." "Be careful in everything, and you can't slack off in the defense of the city on weekdays." Ye Yu looked at Tie Niu.
Tie Niu's expression was straight, and he hurriedly received the order.
The three of them began to talk and laugh, most of which were talking about what Tie Niu and Wang Xianzhi had done in the Jia Dynasty over the years.
Ye Yu listened to it with relish.
On the other side, smoke curled from behind the city walls, and the fireheads in the city began to make food for the soldiers.
Yang Jiang sat in the attic on the city tower, and the wine and meat had already been placed in front of him.
He frowned slightly, "Come on, what's the matter with all this wine and meat?" ”
A soldier in front of the door heard the voice, and hurriedly turned around and entered the room with both hands clenched into fists, "General, these are all sent by the Huotou Battalion, and it is said that General Cao's daily treatment was like this before." ”
Yang Jiang's brows furrowed deeply, "Bring these things to me, and tell the Huotou Battalion that you haven't had a meal from now on, so don't send me anything at will." ”
"As long as I am on the wall, I will eat and sleep with my brothers."
The soldier looked a little surprised, and at the same time there was a little embarrassment on his face, "General, you are the chief general after all, and you should have some special treatment." ”
Yang Jiang slapped the table violently, "Presumptuous!" As a general, I should be more sympathetic to the soldiers, and eating and sleeping together is one of the most powerful means to boost the morale of the soldiers in wartime. ”
"As my own soldier, don't you know this?!!"
The soldier's body trembled, his face turned pale and his waist bent even lower, "The general atonements, the little one knows that he is wrong." ”
Yang Jiang's tone softened slightly, "Take it down, remember what I said just now and inform the Huotou Battalion." ”
The soldier hurriedly took the order to take away the wine and meat.
After the soldier walked out of the door, Yang Jiang's eyes flashed once.
He had just surrendered to Ye Yu's command, and after a few days of understanding, he could see that Ye Yu would inevitably be a little disgusted with this special treatment, so he would definitely not take the initiative to jump into the fire pit.
Let the prince see him eating and sleeping with the soldiers, so that he can be appreciated by His Royal Highness.
The reason why he surrendered was not for a bright future.
"Now that I am a third-rank general, this time as long as I have meritorious service in defending the city, and when he returns to the Southern Dynasty one day, His Royal Highness is likely to continue to add officials to himself."
Yang Jiang muttered softly.
He stood up and walked to the tower, he wanted to make his figure appear in the eyes of the soldiers at all times.
This battle can only be won, not lost!
Because Yang Jiang has blocked his life.
In the camp of the Jia Dynasty army outside the city, Chen Yunhai and a group of generals looked at the city tower in the distance.
With a smile on his face, "After the smoke stops for an hour, the army will immediately attack the city, and at this time most of them are drowsy, I am afraid that they have not fully reacted, and our people are already standing on the city wall." ”
"Tonight, I will be able to drink celebration wine in Yecheng."
The generals behind him also echoed this and patted his ass.
There is no way, who called Chen Yunhai now the commander of the armies in Yecheng.
At noon, the sun was getting hotter.
After lunch, most of the soldiers in Yecheng began to fall asleep.
Earlier, when there was no outbreak of war, the soldiers had the habit of taking a nap.
Yang Jiang looked at the military camp outside the city, his brows furrowed slightly, and there was a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
The barracks outside the city were still in such chaos that he couldn't see much for a while.
The soldier stood behind him and whispered, "General, why don't you go and rest for a while?" ”
Yang Jiang didn't answer, just stood there quietly, and after a long while, he turned around and walked towards the attic on the city tower.
As he stepped into the room, he paused, "If there is anything unusual outside the city, be sure to report it as soon as possible, and Ben will take a short rest here." ”
The soldiers hurriedly surrendered their hands, and did not forget to close the door of the attic intimately.
Outside the city.
Zhao Yunhai smiled coldly, "Everything is according to the plan, the soldiers are not allowed to shout when attacking the city, and they will reach the city wall as quickly as possible to set up a ladder." ”
Behind him, a general clenched his fists and took the order.
There was no way to say that Zhao Yunhai said before that his subordinates were the first to charge.
After a while, the gate of the camp suddenly opened, and a troop of 10,000 troops rushed out, without the slightest stop, and quickly headed towards the city wall.
Most of the defenders on the walls were already sitting on the ground and squinting against the wall to sleep, and there were very few soldiers still standing guard.
Because of this, the Jia Dynasty army was discovered by the defenders when it was less than 100 meters away from the city wall.
"Not good, enemy attack !!"
"Ring the bell, ring the bell!!"
"Wake up, the enemy is attacking the city!!"
A soldier suddenly opened his eyes and saw the enemy troops outside the city, and he roared loudly in shock.
The soldiers beside him woke up one after another, and the soldiers who woke up looked out of the city, their faces changed greatly, and they hurriedly woke up the people beside them.
In this way, the defenders of Yecheng finally reacted.
The crowd began to shoot arrows with bows!
"General, no, General!"
The pro-soldiers rushed into the attic in a hurry, and Yang Jiang, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up.
He was shocked in his heart, and subconsciously stood up, "What happened?" ”
The soldiers looked anxious, "General, they are attacking the city!" ”
Yang Jiang's face turned pale when he heard this, and he took out the treasure knife on his waist and rushed out.
At this time, there were already many cloud ladders on the top of the city, and the soldiers of the Jia Dynasty began to climb under the rain of arrows.
Bell Bell Bell !!
The rapid ringing of the bell resounded above the tower.
Ye Yu and the three of them, who had just eaten lunch and were still chatting, looked in the direction of the city wall almost at the same time.
"Oh no, they're attacking the city!" Ye Yu stood up violently.
Tie Niu spoke loudly, "Your Highness, I'll go first." ”
He turned and ran to the door, grabbed his two axes and rushed out of the city.
Wang Xianzhi and Ye Yu followed, and all the spies gathered along the way.
"Defend the city no matter what, this son is with you!" Ye Yu spoke loudly.
Mr. Wang and others echoed.
When Ye Yu rushed to the city wall, the aisle of the city wall was already full of corpses, and the sounds of fighting and screaming were endless.
Wang Xian slashed to death a soldier who rushed towards Ye Yu, his brows furrowed, "Your Royal Highness, you go down to the city first, it's too dangerous on the city wall." ”
"If you can't hold the wall, you will die wherever you retreat." Ye Yu spoke in a deep voice.
He casually picked up a war knife on the ground, looked at an enemy dressed in a general's uniform, and said coldly, "Wang Xianzhi, go and chop him up for me!" ”
Wang Xianzhi followed Ye Yu's gaze and looked solemn, "Obey!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he began to rush towards the other party.
Ye Yu took out the firearm and pointed it at an enemy soldier, and the loud sound once stopped the surrounding fighting sounds.
"Kill me!"
Ye Yu spoke loudly.
Seeing that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World went into battle in person, the morale of the spies and the defenders of Yecheng soared, and they were slashed and killed.
Wang Xianzhi looked like a weak scholar, in fact, his martial arts were very strong, and he mixed in the rivers and lakes of the Southern Dynasty when he was young, and later killed a county magistrate by mistake and was sentenced to death in prison.
Fortunately, the Southern Dynasty had another treatment for the condemned prisoners, and Wang Xianzhi resolutely came to Yecheng to become a spy.
In the aisle of the city wall, every time Wang Xianzhi stabbed him, an enemy soldier must have fallen, and soon he met the enemy general.
The enemy general's armor was full of blood, and even there was blood on his face, he looked at Wang Xianzhi, "It's not good for a literati to huddle at home and read your books, and come to the battlefield to fight and kill, it's really looking for death." ”
Wang Xianzhi opened his mouth without being salty, "The prince asked me to take your life." ”
