Chapter 246: Decree
"My lord, five hundred people were lost in just a moment. ”
"Without further ado, continue the siege. Captain Wan said lightly.
So the assault continued, and the siege continued.
Lin Xiqi nodded with satisfaction.
Hong Shangrong's training of soldiers was really good, and none of them flinched.
Even those people were a little afraid at first, but now they have no fear.
"Okay, okay, if the officers and soldiers of my Great Xia Dynasty are so brave, why are you afraid of the Houyuan Tartars?" Hao Feng said with some emotion.
"Lord Lin, the Houyuan Tartars have been attacking the city for several waves, how can there be thousands of casualties, right?" Qin Xiaoyin asked.
"Yes, I didn't expect this Tartar who led the troops to be really willing, if only he left all the ten thousand people here. Lin Xiqi laughed and said.
Captain Wan was already a little crazy now, he didn't expect that this small county town would cost him thousands of people.
Originally, he thought that he would not have many casualties, and the other party would have no fighting spirit.
But the other side is now resisting stubbornly, and there is no sign of rout at all.
"My lord, the situation is not good, such resistance, even if we fill in all ten thousand people, I am afraid it will be difficult to capture this city. The subordinate of the commander of the ten thousand horsemen said again.
"Do you still dare to deceive people?" said Wan Cai, glaring at him with an angry face.
"Your Excellency, you can't be rash. We are cavalry, and we are not good at attacking cities, but now that the other party has been prepared, we do not have enough siege equipment, which is too disadvantageous. "This subordinate can't take care of directly facing the angry Wan Cavalry Commander now, he must say these words, otherwise he will really lose a lot as soon as he comes up.
Now that there are more than 1,000 casualties, I am afraid that it will be difficult to explain on the general's side, and if the casualties are large, I am afraid that my adult will have to worry about his life.
"Pull it down. Wan Qi Chang shouted.
The two pro-soldiers immediately stepped forward and caught this subordinate left and right.
"Your Excellency. ”
He still wanted to persuade, but the commander waved his hand and said: "Evil words confuse the crowd and hurt my morale, first detain him, and then take his head when I break through the city." ”
The commander of the ten thousand horsemen was furious in his heart, but he also understood that what his subordinate said made sense.
He knew that the other party was for his own good, so he didn't immediately cut off his head.
It's just that he's a little hard to ride a tiger now.
If you stop at this time, I am afraid that the losses of more than 1,000 people will be reprimanded and punished by the general.
When the time comes, how others perceive themselves, won't they be discredited all of a sudden, and decades of glory will probably be ruined.
It's just a small county town, and if you don't make achievements, you won't have the face to go back.
"Go on. Wan Qichang said with a hideous face.
"Lord Lin, the other party has increased the number of men and horses to attack the city. Standing on the city wall, Hao Feng could clearly see the movements of the Tartar soldiers under the city.
"Isn't that great?" Lin Xiqi smiled slightly, "If they like to attack the city, let them attack it, anyway, we take advantage, and it would be best to kill and injure some Houyuan Tartars at this time." ”
"What your lord said is that you can use the city wall to reduce your own damage. Hao Feng nodded.
Seeing the waves of Tartar soldiers, they retreated again and again.
Hao Feng was very excited in his heart.
He knew that under Hong Shangrong's defense, the other party had no chance at all.
After the fight just now, most of the people who were still a little afraid in their hearts were adapted, and most of them were nervous, and they didn't have time to think about what they were afraid of.
There is only one thing on their minds now, and that is to kill the enemy, and only by defeating the Tartars can they live, and their families can live.
Lin Xiqi didn't know if the other party had taken the wrong medicine, the other party's casualties were not small, so it stands to reason that he had to repair it.
But the other party had no intention of stopping, and he couldn't figure it out when he attacked the city so wildly.
There is no way for the commander of the ten thousand horses, he must hurry up, otherwise when the follow-up army arrives, it will be nothing for him.
Now the losses are getting bigger and bigger, so he can't retreat anymore, so he can only continue to attack the city, hoping to capture the city in order to cover up all the mistakes.
"Damn it, when did the cowardly Great Xia soldiers become so brave. When Lin Xiqi couldn't figure it out, Captain Wan couldn't figure it out either.
He has almost been fighting with the officers and soldiers of Great Xia all his life, although he has also encountered some so-called elites, but they are just a little stronger, and there is no essential difference.
As long as their side puts a little pressure on them, the other party will not be able to hold on, and the final outcome will be a rout.
This time, he still continued to give the other party a kind of coercion according to his previous experience, even if the opponent could withstand several waves of his attacks, he could not resist more, which was his invincible experience.
"Come on, they're definitely at the limit, and if they rush again, they're going to rout. Captain Wan said to himself secretly.
But he had said this several times in his heart, and each time he thought it was the last time, but every time he was beaten back by the other party.
He has already beheaded several of his men, who have escaped, and he must stand up and make an example of the chickens and monkeys.
"My lord, I can't fight anymore, more than half of the dead and wounded, please withdraw from the army. One of his men, covered in blood, knelt in front of the Ten Thousand Horsemen and cried.
"Come on, pull it down, cut it off. Wan Cavalry Commander shouted expressionlessly.
His own soldiers immediately stepped forward and tried to pull the man down.
"My lord, spare him. Suddenly, many of his subordinates knelt down and said.
Captain Wanqi's cheeks couldn't help but shake a few times.
He knew that this was the dissatisfaction of his subordinates.
Not all of his subordinates were from his tribe, but there were many tribes mixed together.
If the war had gone well, these people would have obeyed their orders, but if they were like now, they would have rebelled against them.
This is something he cannot tolerate.
Commander Wan just wanted to order these subordinates to be taken down, but he didn't care if the people of their tribes would rebel against him after taking them.
Anyway, his goal now is to capture this city, and no one wants to stop it.
"Report~~" Suddenly, a herald rushed in.
The face of the commander of the ten thousand cavalry showed a look of panic, he knew this herald, this was the herald under the general's account, he hurriedly shouted: "What's the matter?"
"Lord Dalatan, the general has an order, ordering you to immediately stop the siege and retreat twenty miles to join the army. The herald said.
"What? stop immediately?" Dalatan's eyes widened, he knew the worst had finally happened.
I have delayed for too long, and the follow-up army has already caught up.
"I'll attack again. Dalatan hurriedly shouted.
"Lord Dalatan, do you dare to disobey the general's military orders?" the herald said coldly.
Although he was only a herald, he was now representing the Grand General Tuger.
Dalatan's face changed, of course he didn't dare to disobey the military order.
