Chapter 264: Shen Shifang's First Battle

But no, Situ Jie is a recognized talented woman in Nanliu Kingdom, not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but her face is at the level of a smiling city.

The lieutenant laughed a few times, hiding his embarrassment.

Shen Shifang ignored it, the current war, he didn't have time to spare, he whispered a few words in Situ Jie's ear.

Situ Jie nodded, indicating understanding, and she said, "Which general took me to the craftsman's place?"

"The last general is willing to lead Miss Situ there. "The one who spoke was the captain in charge of the repair and casting of weapons, named Jiang Qiu.

Situ Jie nodded and walked out, followed by Jiang Qiu.

Shen Shifang said: "If you follow Jie'er, the war will be raging, and no one knows if there will be a battle in the next moment." ”

Song Wenruo responded: "It's the landlord." ”

With that, she walked out with a blank face.

Shen Shifang is not by Situ Jie's side, she must perform the duty of a guard.

Although, Situ Jie's cultivation is higher than her. It's just that Song Wenruo is Xiaocheng's thousand-strike combat technique, and in terms of tricks, he can take a big step forward from the Liuyun martial arts that Situ Jie has learned.

The generals had some doubts, and the woman called the military division "the owner of the building"? What kind of building is this building?

Shen Shifang said: "The generals will wait here for the scouts to come back, and then make arrangements. ”

That's all it takes.

A pillar of incense or so, two scouts returned, and Lian Kongling and the two followed.

"Tell the lord of the country, there are a large number of black shadows faintly shaking in the woods to the east, and it is suspected that they are ambushes. ”

"Tell the lord of the kingdom that there is the neighing of war horses in the woods to the west. ”

The words fell, and Xuan Yi also returned.

And Su Muxin was shocked, sure enough, before he could praise Shen Shifang, he saw the latter speak.

"Now I am favored by the lord of the country, and I have the right to transfer troops and send generals. Shen Shifang paused and said, "All the commanders of the Middle Route Army are here, listen to the order." ”

"The last general takes the order!" the generals were now convinced, and said in unison.

Can this military advisor be like a god?

Shen Shifang stared at the map and said, "General Wang Erdao, tonight, you will lead 2,000 people to secretly set up all the traps that can defend against cavalry, such as rejecting horses to the west of the military camp and ten miles in the woods. Subsequently, Deputy Commander Xue Feixian deployed 8,000 troops behind the trap to block the sneak attack. ”

Xue Feixian saluted with a strong general: "The last general will be ordered!"

Shen Shifang continued to order: "The two generals of the guard battalion, tonight, you will take eight thousand guards battalion soldiers to the east to set up a position outside the woods, don't take the initiative to attack, be sure to entangle them for two hours." ”

"The last will be ordered!"

Su Muxin said: "Do you need to set a trap in the east?"

Shen Shifang shook his head and said, "The figure in the east is shaking, it must be an enemy patrol, and there is no neighing of war horses, just infantry. ”

Shen Shifang said again: "The two commanders of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion led two thousand cavalry to feint at the east and west gates of Shuiyi City to distract the defenders. Remember, your cavalry battalion is not good at siege warfare, don't really siege the city, try to attract attention with your horse bow. ”

"The last will be ordered. ”

Shen Shifang finally said: "General Xuan Yi, before dawn tomorrow, you will attack from the South City Gate with the vanguard battalion, and you must capture Shuiyi City in one hour." At that hour, the enemy is in a comatose state, and even if he wakes up, his combat power will decrease, and then it will be the last time to attack the city. ”

Xuan also saluted and said, "The last general will be ordered." ”

Xue Feixian was a little annoyed, this good thing was all taken care of by Xuan Yi, and the battles along the way were all due to Xuan Yi, and he didn't have himself at all

things.

Anyway, he is the deputy commander of the Central Route Army and his boss.

However, since the military advisor arranged it this way, the lord of the country did not object, so he could only consider himself unlucky.

Shen Shifang said: "Shuiyi City is just a small city, but it is the last barrier of Xique City, and it is the gate to Xique City. Whether you grit your teeth or blush, you must fulfill your orders. Our lord is waiting for you to become famous in a war, and when the chaos is settled, he will set you a celebratory wine and be promoted to a knighthood. Soldiers, we are the teachers of benevolence and righteousness, and the benevolent ...... Invincible!"

"The benevolent are invincible! The benevolent are invincible!

The morale of the generals was stimulated by Shen Shifang, and their fighting spirit was high, and they were able to tear the enemy alive several times.

"Go back and prepare!"

The generals left, and only Shen Shifang and six others remained, as well as Princess Xining.

"Shifang, what about us?" Lian Kongling rubbed his hands, he hadn't fought yet, and his hands were itching.

Shen Shifang said with a smile: "Although this small city is very important, his defense is not worth looking at, this time we don't need to make a move, just guard the rear." ”

As soon as these words came out, in addition to Lian Kongling, there was another person sighing.

That person is Xiao Yang.

Shen Shifang lightly knocked on his head and said, "Don't stay here, you go and see if Jie'er's side is going well?"

Xiao Yang muttered and ran out.

At the time, the various departments secretly went to the designated direction with their men and horses. Even the vanguard battalion gathered its troops and horses in advance, and when they waited for an order, they went to attack the city.

At this time, Shen Shifang, dressed in military uniform, appeared in the pioneer camp, with Su Muxin next to him, and behind him were six companions, plus a princess of Xining.

A group of nine of them, all of whom changed into chain mail, were as imposing as rainbows.

At this time, they are quite dazzling.

Walking to the point, Su Muxin said: "Soldiers, go!"

He has no superfluous nonsense, a leading soldier is already the best encouragement, and the morale has reached unprecedented heights.

The lords of the country are all in battle armor, what else can they say?

In an instant, there were only a few men and miscellaneous auxiliaries left in the middle route army camp.

At the beginning of the hour, the pioneer battalion arrived in front of Shuiyi City.

It seems that Shui Yicheng has not reacted yet.

At this time, the sky is not too bright, but you can also see people's faces, and it is not easy for the middle route army to quietly walk here.

Xuan was also in charge, and with a wave of his hand, three catapults were slowly rolled out, loaded and prepared at the designated location.

Subsequently, a huge siege vehicle was also pushed out, followed by soldiers carrying long ladders.

The siege engine was covered in iron, empty inside, with a battering cone hanging from it, and could accommodate eighteen people.

Xuan Yi turned back to Shen Shifang, only to see the latter nodding, so he shouted: "Attack!"

With that, the trumpeter blew the signal for attack.

First of all, the catapult attacked, only to see three round boulders coated with fire oil pull out three brilliant tracks and smash them the city wall and the battlements.

In an instant, there were three more big pits on the wall of Shuiyi City, and broken bricks and stones flew all over the sky.

Then, tens of thousands of people let out a roar of charge and followed the soldiers carrying the ladder to attack the city.

The siege engines were bulky and slow, so more than two dozen soldiers of the pioneer battalion came up, holding shields on their heads with one hand and pushing the siege vehicles with the other.

When the middle route army attacked, the defenders of Shuiyi City were already frightened, and they all picked up their weapons, whether they could use them or not, they all clenched them first

in the hands.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The soldiers defending the city beat the drums, and the soldiers on the troop transport road ran, and those who should send weapons will send weapons, and those who should save people will save people, and it is very lively.

On the side of the Middle Route Army, the catapult has stopped after ten rounds of throwing attacks.

For the besieging soldiers had reached the foot of the city walls, and they ascended the ladder.

If you attack at this time, you may accidentally injure your allies.

At this time, the defenders of Shuiyi City were ready, and although the catapults had caused many casualties to them, there were still many capable soldiers.

They threw logs and stones at the soldiers of the pioneer battalion to intercept the soldiers who had climbed the city walls. Most of them were in the middle of the battlements, with bows, attacking the soldiers of the vanguard battalion who were charging behind.

In an instant, the battlefield was fierce, and the soldiers of the pioneer battalion were beaten a little helplessly, and before they could climb the city wall, the rolling wooden stones were smashed on their heads, and their heads bloomed and fell on their companions.

And those who charged in the rear, the casualties were there, but not so great, because they had shields.

And the siege vehicle had not yet arrived in front of the city gate, so Shen Shifang immediately made a decision and said: "Xuan Yi, let the soldiers under the city wall stop attacking the city and use their shields to defend the upper attack on the spot." ”

Xuan also nodded, motioning for the drummer next to him to give a signal.

The drummer got the order and beat a drum.

Hearing the sound of drums, the commanders, commanders, chiefs, and captains of the vanguard battalion who were charging ordered their soldiers to raise their shields to defend.

In an instant, Shui Yi City was full of dense shields, and the damage of those bows and arrows, rolling wood and stones was greatly reduced.

And it worked!

In a few moments, the siege engine had arrived in front of the city gates.

With a command, he slammed into the city gates.

One blow doesn't work, keep hitting.

At this time, the defenders' offensive suddenly became fierce, and they dropped a lot of dry wood coated with fire oil and set it on fire with rockets.

In an instant, some of the people in the pioneer battalion were on fire and retreated. This retreat caused a stampede, with dozens of dead and wounded and their companions under the trampling.

Because, the people behind were holding their shields, and they didn't see what was happening in front of them. And Xuan Yi and the other generals didn't have time to give orders, so dozens of casualties were in vain.

Shen Shifang said in a cold voice: "Catapult cover, remember, adjust the distance, and don't smash into your camp." ”

Xuan also nodded and walked towards the catapult.

Soon after, the catapult started again, and huge stones were smashed into the city, and the screams of pain were endless.

"Oops!"

"Help me. ”

"My legs! my legs...... I can't move! ”

"Steady, steady, squat. !

And at this time, the siege vehicle under the city tower had already delivered the final blow.

For there were many cracks in the gates.

"One, two, three!

With this shout in unison, the gates opened.

"Brothers, rush into the city. ”

Seeing this, the soldiers of the pioneer battalion attacked violently.

And the soldiers next to them were not idle, and suddenly there were not so many people entering the city gate, so they climbed the ladder and attacked one after another.

Seeing this, the catapult also stopped.

Shen Shifang shouted: "Soldiers, attack the city!"

With that, he rode out on horseback.

And Su Muxin and they also followed,
