Chapter 124: The War Begins
A general replied, "The border city is built on the mountain, and the city is strong, but there are many people in Fanbang, and I am afraid that it is easy to open the gap." ”
After speaking, my mood was a little sluggish, I don't know if this city can be defended, and I knew that I shouldn't let my wife and daughter go to the border city.
Another general answered, "Arrows and stones have been collected throughout the city, and there are 20,000 young and strong people gathered in the city. ”
"But the merchants in the border city come and go frequently, and the people in the city even intermarry with other races, I am afraid that the enemy country has already infiltrated as a businessman and took the opportunity to launch."
For a moment, everyone was eerily quiet.
At this moment, the silence was broken by the soldiers outside the tent.
"Captain Hedu."
"Please come back, He Xuan has returned from Liangcheng."
Deng Ming in the tent heard He Xuan's words, and hope flashed in his eyes.
Maybe He Xuan can bring good news, whether it is food, grass, silver or reinforcements, it can bring hope to the soldiers.
If it weren't for the old general Lin Xiong sitting on the top seat, maybe Deng Ming would have been able to run out of the tent to greet He Xuan.
In a moment, He Xuan walked into the tent with all the hopeful eyes in the tent.
Respectfully saluted to the old general Lin Xiong.
Lin Xiong looked at the juniors in front of him with love, after all, his life was saved by others, and he should be grateful.
"You are Captain Hedu, it's really better to see than to hear."
He Xuan looked up slightly at the old man sitting on the upper seat, his expression was even more respectful.
He doesn't trust people because of a good word or two.
Whether it was before or now, be vigilant enough about people.
Lin Xiong looked at He Xuan, who was standing below, "Captain He has any good strategy to resist the enemy army." ”
"The subordinates are outside the tent, and they heard the generals' discussions, the current gap between the strength of the city and the enemy army is huge, and it will be a few days before Liangcheng transfers troops to arrive, if there is no holy will, Liangcheng cannot send troops."
"And the attack of the state will pour the strength of the whole country. Three days ago, the letter was sent to the Windy City as soon as possible, and it was half a month after Kyoto received the military information. ”
"What's more, our situation is much more difficult than theirs."
When the other generals heard what He Xuan said, they all knew it, but what they wanted now was a good plan.
He Xuan looked at the dissatisfied expressions of the other generals, and he didn't care, these people were all thinking about defense now, but they didn't have the heart to listen to their own horns.
simply stopped pretending to be here, and took out a mediocre ice mound from his sleeve.
Looking at everyone's curious eyes, He Xuan also sent it forward carefully.
"I don't know what it's for." Lin Xiong was also quite curious.
In such weather, the cold water can turn into ice in a short time, and it freezes very solidly, and the hot air in the tent rushes away, and the ice pier does not loosen in the slightest.
"General Hui, this ice mound is extremely easy to make, not only is it easy to slip, but it is also very persistent, and Fanbang people like to wear sheepskin boots."
The words have already been said about this, no matter how stupid he is, he can understand what He Xuan means.
Lin Xiong Dayue looked at the handsome young man in front of him, and couldn't help nodding in his heart.
is worthy of being the heir of He Qingfeng's old thing, with the same intelligence he was back then, and the trend of being better than blue.
If it weren't for his daughter, he would have been married a long time ago, and he couldn't help but pull the red line for him.
"Captain Hedu, good strategy." Lin Xiong couldn't help but praise.
Commanding loudly to the generals below, "Tell the soldiers of the whole city to find the people's cauldrons to boil water and transport it to the city wall, and be sure to freeze the entire border city into an ice city for me." ”
The soldiers were in an uproar and gladly accepted the order.
For a time, the border city was bustling, and the people came out of their homes.
The soldiers led the people to pour hot water from the wall, and the boiling hot water stretched for thousands of meters from the wall.
In less than an hour, the inside and outside of the city wall had condensed into a half-meter-thick ice skate.
Lin Xiong took the generals behind him, looked at the ice city in front of him, and showed a satisfied smile.
It seems that he can resist for a while, as long as the food and grass arrive, so that the soldiers are fed, why can't he beat these people out of the border city.
He Xuan looked at the scenery in front of him and gradually fell into deep thought.
He had already returned from Liangcheng, and the news that he had sent the letter out must not be hidden.
I have already returned to the border city, and the people of that state have naturally gotten the news.
Aren't these people just using these ideas to make up the salaries, the morale of the soldiers is naturally not high, and if they have no food and grass, they will be dragged down sooner or later.
But now that the letter has been sent, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty will definitely send someone to solve it.
At that time, all their advantages will cease to exist, and they will definitely be pinned down by then.
Therefore, these people must not be able to help it, I am afraid that it will be in the past few days.
Isn't there water without rolling log?
There are no boulders, we have more water.
He Xuan directly sent someone to collect the snow and let people pour it, and these ice cubes played a big role.
He Xuan led people to sleep on the city wall, don't let this group of rats crawl over.
The drums beat densely in the distance.
The people on the city walls were awakened, their weapons in their hands, and they looked ahead vigilantly.
He Xuan's head is full of black lines, you TM sneak attack, you are still swaggering and beating the drum, what does this mean.
Forget it, you shouldn't think about that at this time.
Thanks to Ice City, otherwise this group of guys would have rushed to the door.
The sober soldiers reacted instantly, and thousands of rockets flew out densely on the city wall, and the black pressure and sparks rushed to the place where the black shadow was.
The screams continued. After a round of rockets, more enemies poured out of the darkness, and the shouts of killing were deafening.
The ice wall had been shattered in each attack, and the enemy had charged again and again, and had been beaten back again and again.
Under the city walls, the corpses were all over the ground, and people's wails were everywhere.
The firelight on the city wall flickered, illuminating the resolute faces, and outside the darkness, a pair of wolf-like eyes stared at the city wall.
Ha Zhuang looked at the swarthy enemy army on the city wall, and burst out with gritted hatred, his son sacrificed his life for the great cause of the Fan Gang, and he, as a father, must avenge his son.
The drums of war became more intense, and the soldiers who heard the drums became more frantic and rushed forward like a tide.
The generals commanding on the city wall all became nervous.
"Roll the wood and prepare."
Rolling logs and ice skates slid down the walls towards the enemy troops, sweeping them to the ground as they were already unstable.
Ming Wu saw that the soldier fell and his head was bleeding, and his eyebrows were glued together, "Pull the grass mat to break forward." ”
After a few moments, Fanbang used the shield as a cover, and quickly spread a thick straw curtain on the ice layer by layer.
But the rolling logs on the city wall fell, and another batch was knocked down.
As time passed, Ha Zhuang became more anxious, looking up at the sky that was gradually turning white.
Command is more impatient.
The "bumper" catapult smashed the ice surface piece by piece, and Ha Zhuang took a look.
With a squint of eyes, he led people to rush under the city wall, shot hooks and ropes into the city, built a ladder, and a person was cut off his neck and fell off the city wall.
"Prepare the stones, smash these and send them home." He Xuan shot arrows with a bow and commanded.
Shoot an arrow at the man on the catapult in the distance, and the arrow goes straight through the eyebrows of the enemy, who collapses in the snow in disbelief.
